4: *parting intelligence. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETLNG. isto•e. The five days' racing at " headquarters" was concluded to-day. The weather was again fine ; indeed, the whole of the week's racing has been favoured with the most unexeeptionable weather, the only drawback being the dust,whic hwas whirled 'cross the heath in blinding clouds. The authorities followed the course usually adopted on Fridays, and arranged for the commencement of the racing at 11.45, so that it night be concluded before 3 o'clock, thus enabling visitors from London to get home early. The railway traffic during. the week has been unpreoe dented ; and post credit is due to the officials for the regulari with which the various triune were despatched. Mr. Fi sh er ' s arrangements at Cambridge, and Mr. Heavens's at Newmarket—two of the chief points on the line—have been quite adequate to the requirements of the week ; and those gentlemen are deserving of every praise for the manner in which the business has been conducted. The racing to-day, with the exception of one or two events, was uninteresting, and had the card been deprived of the Newmarket Derby and the Prender gast Stakes, the sport would not have been above plating form. The attendance was smaller than on any previous day during the week. For the Newmarket Derby four only went to the post. Lothario, on amount of hia taring a seven pound allowance, was fancied, but Knight of the Crescent, who was made the favourite, had no difficulty in disposing of hie opponents. Janitor, after winning the seventy son plate, was claimed by Mr. T. Cli ff . The only other important race was the Prendergrast Stakes, for which seven went to the poet. Knight of the Garter was installed favourite, and hacked for a good deal of money ; while Pericles, who won easily, was the outsider in the betting. The Rake, in corm To - mos of Knight of the Gaiter's defeat , receded a point in the Derby quotations. The only feature in the Cam bridgeshire betting was the amount of genuine supp ort awarded to Ambition. The other quotations are appended with the day's running.

Lothario was a bad third, and Robin Hood beaten off. An objection against the winner on the ground of a cross was overruled by the stewards after hearing the evi dence of the jockeys.

After about half the distance had been traversed the Anemone colt was beaten, and Claymore took up the run ning, and Court Card gave way.

I ,~ , +~ THE EvgiEsso 0.1. 1 U RDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1866. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. After our report left yesterday, the report of the committee eras unanimously adopteu. hlr. Ottaaatectus, as a debenture holder, asked what ar rangement was being made for paying off the debts. That should be their fret duty. (No, no.) It appeared that upwards of ten millions had been expended, and that there were 4,595,000 debentures. He wanted to ask the share holders whether it was worth their while to let the deben ture holders take the lino. (They can't.) If the deben ture holders were disposed to wait he should be glad to know how long. Mr. Hononnesow—With regard) to the works now going on, that quartion lied come before the committee, and it was found that the Brighton Company was bound to contribute 100,0001. to the Viotoria improve:mate. That earn was found to besufficient for the works now in progress. Mr. HODGSON complained that for the debentures of which the company got only 75 per cent. he had paid the full amount, which would neither go into the shareholders' pockets nor assist in the making of the line. The act of parliament expressly declared the borrowing power should only accrue when the shareholders bad contributed 50 per cent., but was that the fact, when that solemn affirma tion was made which led to the over issue of the deben tures. It was made by the proper officers of the company, Mr. Johnson, the secretary, and Mr. Morgan, the ac countant, but he asked on what documents it was made ? (Hear, hear.) The debenture holders were there simply to protect their interests, and had no intention of doing any thing else at present than standing by, and he wished the shareholders to understand that they did not surrender anything, or make any change in their position , in order that the shareholders might not be under a wrong impres sion. He felt that the debenture holders were the first mortgagees, and that after them came the shareholder , in their reepeotive order of priority. He proceeded, amidst cries of " question," and " thne," to ask what power the company had to mortgage surplus lands, or of what force such mortgages were! A SHAREHOLDER — We do not dispute anything that you say on that subject. Mr. Bernice pointed out some discrepancy in the accounts of the committee of investigation and the direc tors, and suggested that they should be gone into in a con sultation, and that afterwards some definite proposition should be agreed on to be made to the shareholders for the future management of the company. Mr. HOWLRTH was of opinion that the root of the evil in this and other railway companies lay in the fact that the directors were not good business men. He supported the proposition for the introduction of good business men into the board. Mr. PRICE, a member of the debenture-holders' commit tee, who spoke amidst interruption, said that Sir M. Pete had satisfactorily explained some points, but not all. The plain fact was that the bondholders paid 100/., but there was no information as to what had become of the 25/. He thought that neither Sir hi. PeW nor any one else could vindicate such proceedings. Was it not monstrous that parliament and the Board of Trade should have laid down certain rules for the protection of the public, and that those very rules should be made the means of taking money from their pockets? (Hear, hear.) They had had their accounts audited half-yearly by a professional ac countant, Mr. Coleman. (Shame.) Talk of conscience, what conscience was there in such audits ? He found that 300,0001. had been received from the Great Northern Railway, and no money . from Sir M. Pato, and yet he was charged with 800,0001. in shares. Such doings were un precedented in the commercial world. He wished to know what course the directors were going to take, especially with reference to the B and C shares. It was really shameful that noblemen of high character should have been made the puppets of designing men and of cer tain spirits behind the scenes, whom as yet they had not been able to get at. It was like the Drury-lane pantomime —the directors stood in the front of the scene, but the stage business was all done by men behind. The fact was that this was a contractors' line, and all the money had been raised by slams, snares, and delusions. A SHAREHOLDER asked who prepared the false half-yearly reports ? AnotherSamteiumnsa—Johnson. (Tremendous hissing.) Lord HARRIS said, with respect to the half-yearly reports, they had been brought to the directors all ready. It was true the accounts might have been falsified, but the direc tors could not examine, into all the details ; they relied on their officers, their secretary, engineer, and auditors. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SURGEY moved that the directors be requested to add the following names to their band, Messrs. Hodg kinson M.P., Hillyard, Thomas A. lienkey, Heritage. Hothain, and G. C. Taylor. Mr. BAXTER seconded the motion. Mr. Scorr.suggested that they should in the first in stance accept the resignations of the present board. He knew (facts connected with certain spirits who had fled with which, but for the law of libel, he would astonish the meeting. A scene of great confusion followed, sere sal persons speaking at once, and a rival debate being car ried on by the debenture holders in the galleries. At length, Mr. BAXTER explained that it was not competent to that meeting; to elect directors. They could only recommend their names to the present board. Mr. JACKSON, M.P., considered that it would be suicidal to get rid of the old directors at the present time, when it was contemplated to go to parliament for certain purposes which wore absolately untmmuary. The CHAIRMAN then put the question as to the accept ance of the names recommended by the committee to be added to the board, and with one exception, that of Mr. Heritage, they were agreed to. On the name of Mr. Heritage being put, A SHAREHOLDER in the body of the meeting objected on the ground that he was,lconnected isiththe Credit Fon cier, and after a short discussion had taken place, and such an expression of feeling had been manifested as in duced that gentleman to withdraw hie name, the hon. proprietor proposed that Lord Harris should be chosen in his place—a suggestion which met the unanimous approval of the meeting. The motion having been carried by acclamation, Lord Hassle, who appeared deeply affected, said that this had been to him a most miserable and humiliating day, and that he had passed many miserable days and nights in consequence of his position in this company. At the same time he felt that if he could be of service to the company it was his duty to remain, especially con sidering the very flattering manner in which hie name had been received. He had simply . sup ported the London, Chatham, and Dover line in the first instance because it went through his county, and with respect to the transactions that had taken place, he did not consider that the board were responsible for the false statements, if they were false, which had been made to them, or for the withholding of information. It was impossible for the directors, either individually or collec tively, to go into all the accounts and transactions of a vast undertaking like this, and they were therefore obliged to rely upon their officers for the correctness of the state ments wade to them, and on which the reports were issued. (Cheers.) Lord SeNties said he was the oldest proprietor of the line ; but he had never been brought up to railway matters. (Cheers and laughter.) He understood very little of the details, particularly finance. He confessed he ought to have attended oftener as chairman. He was getting to that time of life when it was impossible to attend actively to business, and should therefore be willing to retire when ever it was most convenient to the shareholders. (Cheers.) The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the committee of investigation. Secretary of State for the Home Department for his libera tion as a erimieel patient. Grace he said had nude his tray back on the night before, after being at this court, and the applicant &mired him that he should be dis charged in a few days. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual weekly meeting of the members of the board took place yesterday ; Sir Jolts THWAITEB, the chairman, presided. A deputation attended on the board from the District Board of Works for Poplar, to present *memorial from the inhabitants of that district, praying for the appropriation of a site of land for the purposes of health and recreation. The memorial set forth that at the early part of this year a very favourableopportunitypresented itself of open ing a negotiation with the Secretary of State for India for the purchase of the buildings and grounds situate us the East India Dock-road, and for many years used as alms booms for the officers of the Hon. East India Company. The memorialists had been strongly u r ged by the trustees of Poplar. and by • generallye:preseed. wish of the inhabi tants, embodied in a memorial with upwards of 3,000 signatures, obtained at a short notice, and that the nego- Uations were satisfactorily arranged in the agreement to ' purchase the ground for the use of the inhabitants for the of being laid out and maintained as an open space. g r e Pe ground is situate on the south side of the East India Dock-road, and has a frontage in the High-street, Poplar, containing by admeasurement three and a half acres, and is agreed to be sold to the memorialists for the sum of 10,5001. The following is the estimate furnished by their surveyor of the cost of purchasing and laying out the ground, vit. : —Purchase money, 10,500/. • enclosing the ground, 2,300/. ; laying out, 2501. • law Lanes, 501.; total, 13,0001. Deduct for old materials to be sold by auction, 1,0001., leaving a sum of 12,1001. to be provided. It also set forth that the nearest open space is the Vic toria-park, which is a distance of nearly three miles from I Poplar, and the memorialists were most 11111.1011/ to do all in their power towards the health of the district, as it had suffered greatly lately from epidemic,. It concluded by 6 asking the board to grant such a sum of money towards the 1 cost of the purchase of the land as might be deemed fair and equitable. After some discussion, in which the project was most I favourably received by the board, it was unanimously re ferred to the Works Committee for consideration and re- Port- Mr. FREEMAN rose and moved the resolution of which he had given notice :—" To refer the question of the water supply of the metropolis to the Works and General Purpose, Committee, with an instruction to report on the present state of the law as regards • constant supply to each house contained in the several companies and metropolitan acts, on the system of constant supply now in operation in Glasgow, Nottingham, and other towns, and to bring up suggestions for such an amendment of the law, and im provement of the existing machinery of distribution as would ensure a constant supply of water to every house within the jurisdiction of the b oa rd." In support of his motion he said he was sure he should obtain a unanimous opinion from the board that the water supply of the metropolis was lamentably bad, and deficient in quantity and quality. In poor neighbourhoods, some of which he had recently visited, he found that the receptacles for the storage of water were of the most shocking character. They consisted of rotten tubs of all sizes, some of which were mended in the most objectionable manner, and with the most objectionable substances. lie had found the bottoms of these water tubs stuffed round with putty, white lead, and other dele terious articles, which could not fail to be injurious to the health of those who had to drink the water contained in such vessels. He had put the question to some of the , inhabitants of houses where he found these improper , receptacles why they did not speak to their landlords, and ask them to supply them with proper tubs to hold the water, and he had been met with one common answer. He was told that there was such a demand for houses that the landlord would refuse to comply with the request, and they would be told that if they did not like the houses there were plenty of other persons ready to take them. He did not then propose to discuss the various schemes which were proposed for the improvement of the water supply, but to refer the whole subject to a com mittee, to consider what are the mechanical means for a supply of water, and then if there was any legislation upon the subject in the coming session of parliament the board could then take part in it, and would be prepared to give the fullest information. Mr. WesrEn•ros seconded the motion. Mr. HEALEY said the water companies were only re quired to give the public a proper supply of water, but the vessels required for its storage must be furnished by the landlords themselves. Mr. Le Bistros thought the motion of Mr. Freeman was not so large in its scope as it ought to be, and in no hostile spirit he should move as an amendment, " That the ques tion of the water supply of the metropolis be referred to the Works and General Purposes Committee, to report thereon, with such suggestions as they may deem ad visable for the purpose of obtaining an increased supply and of a better quality." Mr. ilowas seconded the amendment. Ms. Farr.,l•ll, iu icply t a.ti , l hi. uuly übjeul. Va , to (At tain an inquiry, and if it could be better arrived at by Mr. Le Breton's amendment, he was willing to withdraw his motion. The amendment was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. RocHE moved that no member of the board shall be eligible to be elected for more than two successive years as vice-chairman of the same committee. The motion having been seconded, after a short discus sion, was carried, after which the board adjourned. THE FATAL FIGHT AT THE WEST-END. Last night, Mr. S. F. Langham, the deputy coroner for Westminster, opened an inquiry at Charing cross Hospital, on the bo dy of Edward Wilmot, who , as alleged, was killed in a fight on Tuesday night last. Michael Wilmot, of 7, Friar's-mount, Bethrud-green, brother of the deceased, identified the body. He was 22 years of age. James Goodman, shoemaker, living at 5, Clay-house-yard, St. Luke's, said—l was with deceased ; about 10 o'clock in the evening at Shaw's house, Queen's , Head -court, Windmill-street. He had a pair of boxing gloves on when I got there. On the first floor there is a regular ring, with ropes, &c., to keep " the company ' away. There were four men in the corners, whose names I don't know. They were the seconds. John Young was also there. His father keeps a bird shop nearly opposite St. Giles's Church. Everything was ready when I got there. They shook hands, and said something which caused the people to laugh, but I do not know what it was. Wilmot gave the first blow in the mouth with his left, anal had the best of it in the round. They were very evenly matched, but the deceased had cer tainly the best of the fighting, though he was not so strong en the legs, and slipped down often. His friends certainly thought so, and advised him to " keep away," so as to fight with hands which lie was best with. After fighting an hour, and in about the last round, the deceased, in try ing to get away, fell against the wall and hurt his bead. Those present said it had better be stopped, and Jemmy Shaw came up and said so. They fought for some money, which was subscribed, I believe, by some of the gentlemen who go there. The ropes and stakes are a fixture. The fight was not originally fixed to come off there. There were at least a hundred persons present. After the fight the deceased seemed pretty well, and not so much exhausted as the other man was. I went down into the parlour, and after nearly an hour the deceased came down, and went out with two of his friends—one of whom had been his second. I don't know either of them, but I should if I saw them. After we got out he seemed faint, and at all our suggestions a cab was got, and be was brought here. One of the doctors said he had better be put to bed. He appeared insensible, and I helped him upstairs, undressed him, and put him to bed. I told the ; nurse he had been fighting at Waterloo-place. I fancied ' the nurse would think he had been drinking, and as that might lead to serious consequences I said he had been • fighting. I did not thing she would believe me if I said it was a glove fight. It was a fair fight, but they were quite friendly. I know the house to be a regular sporting house. After some further evidence the inquiry was adjourned. A Trastsa CLAUDE Dryer.. Lefteri, the famous brigand, is prospering around Brous's. Last week, at the head of a well-armed party of 18, he stopped a crowd of nearly 300 Greek and Armenian pilgrims ea route to the l'anagia at Yeni-keiff, a village beyond the provin cial capital. His presence in the neighbourhood had been suspected, and the devout company had thus banded to gether for mutual protection. Al soon as he appeared, however, the whole surrendered without even an attempt at resistance, and he quietly proceeded to rifle all who seemed likely to repay the trouble. Knowing his business, he searched Lot the pockets but the shoes of the selected victims, and thus collected a large sum. A portion of this be at once divided amongst the poorer members of the company, but to make up for this geeensity he seized and held to ransom a couple of Armenians, for whom he asks 500 liras apiece. The cacti of Broussa happened to be of the party, and Lefteri, with a stroke of Claude Duval's humour, insisted on this dignitary dancing a saraband, or something like it, for the entertainment of the company. Resistance being useless, the Effendi capered through the exercise, and the travellers were then allowed to proceed without farther molestation. — Levant Herald, Oct. 3. CRYSTAL PALACE.

[Advertisement. )--HoLiowaw's OINTNENT AND Pais.—Counsel and Help—Wben biliousness, diarrhea= sentezy prevails in any district it behoves every one to be eul and to have at hand the means of checking those symptoms of general uneasiness, nausea, and vertigo, which foretell the threatening malady. This well-known ointment rubbed diligently and repeatedly upon the pit of the stomach and over the abdo men exercises the most powerful and salutary effects in arrest ing these morbid indications of advancing disease, and aided by appropriate doses of the pills will secure safety to t h eir en ployers, whilst the heedless are falling quickly around them.

THE ATLANTIC CABLES.—The following letter has been received by the Atlantic Telegraph Com pa ny from Mr. Latimer Clarke :—" Valentia, Sept. 12, 18 My dear sir,—Yon have doubtless received through Mr. lll'Curley the certificate of the completion of the cable of 18415. I have since been engaged in repeating all the tests of both cables at greater leisure ; the results are moat satisfactory, and bear ample testimony to the great care and skill which must have been bestowed upon them at every yard and in every stage of their manufacture. The insulation of the 1865 cable is even better than that of the 1866, but this is doubtless attributable to having been longer submerged —time having the well-known effect of improving the quality of gutty percha. The cable of 1866 has, however, also so greatly improved since it was submerged in July last, that it is doubtful which will ultimately prove the better. The perfection of the insulation of these lines is very gratifying, and must certainly appear surprising to any who are not aware of the great advances which have of late years been made in every branch of telegraphy. If either of the cables, for example, be disconnected from the earth, and charged with electricity, it requires more than an hour for the half of the charge to escape through the insulating covering to the earth. With a single galvanic cell, composed of a few drops of acid in a silver thimble and a fragment of zinc weighing a grain or two, conversation may readily, though slowly, be carried on either through one of the cables or through the two formed together at Newfoundland so as to form a loop, and, although in the latter case the spark, twice traversing the bre ad th of the Atlantic, his to pass through 3,700 miles of cable, its effects at the distant end are visible on the galvanometer in a little more than a second after contact is made with the battery. The deflections are not of a dubious character, but full and strong, the spot of light traversing freely through a space of twelve or eighteen inches on the scale, and it is manifest that • battery very many times smaller would suffice to produce similar effects. The length of the 1865 cable is 1,826.48 nautical miles, being 38 miles longer than that first completed, but there is no apparent difference in their speed of working. The clerks are rapidly gaining experience and confidence in working, and have in some short and exceptional trials attained a speed of even 17 or 18 words per minute. Judg ing from the experience afforded by other cables, and from all that is known of the character of the bottom of the Atlantic, there appears every reason to expect that these cables will maintain their electrioal perfection through a long series of years.—l am, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Sed) LATIMER CLARIE.—To George Simard, Esq., Atlantic Telegraph Company, London." MAITIMOH-HOUSIL • John lignry Pi rep, a respectable young man, was brought before Alderman Bailey, who presided in the absence of the Lord Mayor, upon a charge of having felo niou.sly uttered a forged order for the delivery of a quan tity of silk with intent to cheat Messrs. Starrett and Co. , warehousemen of Bread-street, Cheapoide ,• and Georg Brottn, who hid been in the first ink/once taken into cus tody for the same offence, but which was subsequently overturned, was entirely innocent, and who had conse quently been discharged upon entering into a recognisance to appear and give eildenoe against the real criminal, also attended in discharge of that recognisance, but was, of course, not placed at the bar. Kr. Lewis, sen., appeared for the prisoner Perry. The case crested some interest on account of the air camirtances connected with it, and the fact that Brown, who was taken into custody for presenting the forged order, turned out to have been a completely innocent dupe in the transaction. He told such a sniaeorward and ap parently truthful story, however, with regard to the air curnatancei under which the forged document came into his posseagion ; and as it appeared, also, that he was a re spectable man, and bore a very good character, that the presiding alderman, before whom the matter was investi gated in the first instance, would not send him to priaon, but allowed him to p at large upon bail, and he undertook to use all the exertions in his power to discover the man who had given him the forged order, and the result was that, through his instrumentality, the prisoner was taken into custody, and the charge fully established against him. George Brown, the person who bad had so narrow an escape from being convicted of the charge of forgery for which he might have been sentenced to a long period of penal servitude, having been formally discharged from custody, was now examined as a witness for the pro secution against the other prisoner. It appeared from the statement made by him that be was en gagedin taking care of chambers in Gray's-inn-lane, and was occasionally employed as a porter ; and on the 21st of September, the day the forged order was pre sented, he was sent for to the Talbot tavern, in the Gray's-inn-road, and the waiter told him that a gentleman had been inquiring for some respectable person, in whom he could place confidence, to go out with him for a few hours and assist him in his business, which he said was that of a commercial traveller. He shortly afterwards was intronduoed to the prisoner, who said he should want him for about three hours, and he would have to fetch some light parcels. He then walked with him into the City, where he gave him the order upon Messrs. Starrett and Co. for the silk, and he was to bring it to him when he received it at the General Poet-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand. When the genuineness of the order was suspected, and the porter to Messrs. ficarrett and Co. was sent with him to find the man who bad given it to him, the prisoner was nowhere to be seen, and he was himself consequently given into custody. After he was allowed to be out on bail he said that he had been engaged almost night and day in searching for the prisoner, and he went in company with the officer to all parts of the City and metropolis, but he was not successful in discovering him, until last Fri day, when from information he received, he had reason to believe that the prisoner was employed in taking charge of the house, No. 13, George-street, Mansion-house, and he at once communicated the fact to the officer. Alderman Begley asked the witness under what circum stances the prisoner was given into custody . ? He replied that he watched late at night, and early in the morning in the neighbourhood of George-street, and on the morning he had mentioned, he happened to go into the Bay Tree Tavern for a glass of ale, and saw the prisoner standing at the bar with a number of other per sons, and he immediately recognised him, and pointed him out to Raven, the officer, as the man who bad given him the forged order. As the prisoner was leaving the Bay Tree, witness went up to him and asked him to pay him the 3s. 6d. which he was to have bad for the job when he ' was employed by him, and the prisoner appeared to re- I cognise him, but denied that he was entitled to the money. lie afterwards denied all knowledge of him, but witness r was quite sure that he was the man who gave him the order. Mr. Lewis did not put any questions to the witness in cross-examination, and the evidence given by him was ' fully confirmed by that of the waiter at the Talbot, who swore positively to the prisoner being the man who em ployed Brown, under the circumstances he had stated, on , the day in question. I Mr. Lewis stated that he should reserve his defence, and 1 1 the prisoner was fully committed for trial, an application for bail being peremptorily refused. GUILDHALL. The parties to the summons in the case of " Mann v. Edmonds and Remnant," which had been adjourned for a month to enable the parties to come to terms, now appeared before the court again. Mr. George Lewis, jun., of Ely- . place, appeared for the complainant ; and Mr. Wontner, jun., for the defendant'. Mr. Lewis said the complainant was an apprentice to the defendants, and had served three years and a half of his time. He had been a quick lad at his business, and had learned that branch of the business called "blocking," and had been promoted to the higher branch of " finishing," which holm! been learning fut about ohm manilla. t3MLICT cause of quarrel, however, arose between them, and Mr. Remnant sent him to what was called "hollow cutting ;" that was cutting strips of paper with a ploughing machine for the hollow parts of the backs of cases for books. It was work usually given to errand boys, or to the youngest apprentice, and yet the defendant had not only taken the complainant, who was anxious to learn his business, from the finishing department, to put him to work which required no skill to execute, and could be learned in five minutes, but he bad told him that he would keep him at it for two years. The effect of that would be, that he would lose all the knowledge of his business that be had at present gained, and when out of his time would not know his trade. This would be a per manent injury to the lad, and he called on the magistrate to interfere, and compel the master to do his duty by his apprentice, according to the terms of the indenture. At the last .hearing of the summons it was adjourned by Alderman Abbiss for a month, to give the master an op portunity of replacing the boy in the department he had been taken from, but during the whole of the time that had elapsed Mr. Remnant had kept the complainant at I the " hollow cutting." Alderman Lusk said Alderman Abbiss, like a disin terested magistrate, did not like to see a difference be tween master and apprentice, and he adjourned the gam mons to give the defendant an opportunity of taking the complainant away from the " hollow cutting." Mr. Remnant said he had promised to do so. Alderman Lusk said that promises were like pie-crust, made to be broken. The defendant must not talk to him in that way, when be had had a month to do it, and had not done it. The boy had been in his apprenticeship three years, and he was now sent back to the very pnmitive work. It could not be expected that a boy who could write well would like to be put back into straight strokes. The defendant said he had taught him blocking, and he could get a good living at it now. Alderman Lusk said that was the very thing the boy complained of—that having advanced so far in his business, he was put back to the primitive portion of it. The defendant said he would put him to the " cloth forwarding." The complainant said that was the lowest branch of the business, and ho was far advanced beyond that. Alderman Lusk said the defendant was entirely in the wrong. He would be sorry to inflict a fine on the de fendant, and he therefore urged him to do his duty under the indenture to the complainant. The defendant did not seem disposed to take the advice of the worthy alderman, but after being remonstrated I with by Mr. Wontner, he promised to reinstate him in the finishing department. The summons was then adjourned sine die, and the de fendant was ordered to pay 1/. Is. coats. CLERICENWELL. Mr. George Singer, of 2, Albion-terrace, Albion-road, Stoke Newington, and Mr. James Alexander Carron, of the Summer-house, Church-street, Stoke Newington, again appeared before Mr. Barker to answer the following com plaint that had been prefer red against them by the Rev. Thomas Jackson, the rector of St. Mary, Stoke Newington : —" For that you were, on the 23rd ult., in the parish church of and in the parish of Stoke Newington, unlaw fully guilty of riotous, violent, and indecent behaviour, contrary to the statute t " Cc. The defendants were further complained of for having, on the 23rd ult., at the same hour and place, unlawfully assaulted and beaten Mr. Frederick Smee, of the chief accountant's office, Bank of England, and Mr. Charles Jennings. The case appeared to excite a great deal of interest, and the court was crowded to excess with respectably dressed persons. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Messrs. Symes, Sandilauds, and Co., of Fenchurch-street), attended to rapport the complaint, and Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Stubbard'snd Beck, of 2 East India-avenue, Leadenhall street, attended on behalf of the defendants. The facts of the previous hearing of this case were fully reported on Monday last, and it will be remembered that pending the further hearing of this case Mr. Barker sug gested that the organ should be kept locked, a suggestion which was agreed to by both parties, and fully carried out. On the case being called on to-day a long dis cussion between all the learned gentlemen engaged in the case took place. Mr. Barker said he thought the dispute had better be referred to the Bishop of London. He declined to adjudi cate at all in the matter. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh said the rector would still go on with the services as he had done before the case amt' before his worship. It was only out of deference to the wishes of the magistrate that the organ was not played last Sunday. Mr. Barker said he hoped that there would be no further disturbances, and there the matter ended. LAMBETH. - - A gentleman connected with the lunatic asylum of Dr. Paul, at Peckham, attended before Mr. Elliott, and made a statement respecting the man Grace, for that appears to be his name, who complained of being illegally locked up in the asylum. The statement of the gentleman did not differ with that made by Grace. The reason he assigned for Grace not being discharged was their waiting for an order from the FROM LA, fAZETTE.

COTTON.—Lresitrom, Ocr. 12.—The Gotten =del was dull on Friday, but became firmer on Saturday, sad has mince been active at gradually hardening prices, owl to advice' from Bombay of higher rates ; and, notwith standing lower quotations from New York, the week closes firmly with an advance in most descriptions. Bee Island is again in active request, and prices of carnet qualities are firmly supported. American continues in general demand, and has advanced id. to id. per lb., chiefly in ordinary and middling descriptions. In Brad the business has increased during tLe last few din particularly for export, without much change. Foppli i i is more in request, and steady, at last week's potation for the better descriptions, while commoner kinds ranee dull and irregular. Smyrna has risen 4d. to with ia increased business. East India has continued in good de mend throughout the week, and prices are quoted id. is id. per lb. higher ; the common qualities being ewes, command the extreme advance. China meets a ready oak at fully id. per lb. advance. Of Japan there is no neck here. Speculators have taken during the week 18,490 Lake, exporters 21,580 bales, and the trade 49,420 balm We have had a good demand to-day and a ray km market, at dearer prices.

COTTON GOODS.--Pdxfictafffin, Ocr. 12.—The ism market has been a little more active, but there is no ire• movement in cloth. In shipping yarns there has been rather more business in consequence of more encouraging :union from the East, and some rather large parcels of We mule have been taken for that quarter at r a ther better prices than would have been Atoned sa Tuesday. Prices were strong to the close. In home trade yarns we have had a very firm market, with • study business, but sellers find it very difficult to keep pace the increasing cost of cotton at Liverpool. The basso doing is rather the result of pressure through the 00011 market than of any urgent demand, and therefore to lam extent partakes of a speculative feeling. For cloth, bap en have not the slightest disposition to follow the 'dream in yarn and cotton, and the business done since Twain: has been on a small scale. Where higher prices than thom of Tuesday have been demanded businem has been dn couraged and checked. Buyers continue to act with s caution that appears something like timidity, and will act co mmit themselves to o ff ers for any but small quantities. India makes of cloth are less saleable than Mhos, sad to-day's market may be described as dull sad inactive, with quotations about the same as on Tuesday.

F lo ur steady, at previous rates. Indian corn more firm, about lA. per quarter advance over Tuesday's rates. WARTTIELD, OCT. 12.—We have a good demand for tee old wheat at lc per qr. advance from last Friday ; dry new reds sell at late rates, but ill-conditioned parcels am positively unsaleable.
