(Before VieesChanoellor Sir J. Stuart.) IN RE TIM ALBION BANN. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., asked that this petition might again stand over, the petitioner being in the country. He had not been able to answer the affidavit filed by the bank, or to appear here and be examined. His Honour said it was stated that the affairs of the bank were in a satisfactory condition, and delay would be stetrimentaL Mr. Roxburgh said notice ad been riven four days since to the petitioner to appear be examined. After some discussion his Honour said he did not ap prove of delay in such a ease as this. The matter then 'toed over till later in the day, when, his Honour having again refused to postpone the hearing, Mr. Boron opened the petition, and was followed by Mr. Higri ns. At the close of their argument , His Honour, without calling on the other side, delivered judgment. He said—This petition has been presented ins to obtain an order to wind up this company. It conta allegations which if well-founded might be ground for an order. The petitioner's affidavit is the ordinary one, and this case is met by an affidavit of the bank, which is clear, and refers to documents, Ac., as to the character of which there is no room for doubt. This affidavit establishes that it is altogether untrue that the condition of the bank is such as will not enable it to carry on its business. The facts tell their own story. Dividends it is proved have been regplarly paid for some time, but not for the last half year, although a large profit was then realised. It was con sidered by the authorities better that in place of paying • dividend the money which might have been appropriated thereto should be employed for the benefit of the con cern, and that was a proper step in the interest of the beak. One item in the directors' report has been fixed upon. It was said to have been falsely entered, and that it showed the bank ought not to be allowed to go on. If the said item had been improperly introduced it would give no ground for a winding up but it had been explained at the last meeting of shareholders, when the item was removed from the account. The bank had means notwith standing to carry on its business. The directors' affidavit states that the bank has always been able to meet all de mands made upon it, that no proceedings at law have ever been taken against it, and that there is no reason to call for the winding up, which would of course entai l heav y lees on the shareholders. It has been urge/ that time ought to be given to answer this affidavit, hut a petition of this kind requires immediate consideration with a view to the large interests affected by it. It seems that the affidavit on the part of the bank which the petitioner says he has had no time to answer, was filed on AVedneaday. is short, and there has been time enough to answer it. The court, therefore, oould not grant further time, and so keep the petition on the file of the court, and the com pany in doubt. The petitioner before presenting this petition ought to have made himself acquainted with the facts; of the case. This he did not do, and the petition must therefore be dismissed, and with oosta. Mr. Dickinson, Q.C., who appeared for shareholders to the extent of 1T.3,560/., and Mr. Cottrell and Mr. G. Hast ings, who were for other shareholders to a large amount, asked that their costs might be paid by the petitioners. After some discussion on this his Honour said the proper course was to consider thecircumstances of each particular case, and in such a case as this the petitioner who has been the means of bringing these shareholders here where they have a right to appear, must pay all their costs. Mr. Bacon submitted there was no proof that these per. sons were shareholders. Sir R. Palmer—The register of the company is here, and can be inspected. It should be observed that the copy of the petition served on the bank was in blank, where the name of the petitioner was to be inserted, so that it could not be known who the petitioner was or might be. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. J. N. Higgius were for the petitioner ; Sir It. Palmer and Mr. Roxburgh for the hank ; and Mr. Dickinson; Q C., and Mr. G. Hastings and 31r. Cottrell for the shareholders. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—DEC. 8. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice David and a Special Jury.) SHEANE r. The plaintiff in this case was formerly cook in the service of the defendant, a lady who was the widow of a clergy man, and twitted at 24, Sunderland-terrace, Weetbourne.- park. She now sued to recover damages for an assault. Mr. Cough and Mr. Stratton appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. C, Denman, Q.C., for the defendant. The plaintiff's statement was that in the summer of last year she entered the defendant's service, and remained there three months, and then gave notice to quit. A week after thiathe defendant said she should goat once,and witness went to look for lodgings. She afterwards went to pack up her things, and Mrs. Twins came into the room intoxicated, and put her hand to the boxes, which stood one upon the other, and heaved them onto the fluor. She broke two entail boxes by heaving them into the fireplace.. I Witness of terwards went for a eto , to take her things away .and told the defendant that she wanted to take her boxes away in the cab. The defendant would not let the cabman into the house, saying " Don't put your foot inside my door, or you will have to pay fifty hob. (Laughter.) The Lord Chief Justice—Fifty what! Mr. Stratton—lt means shillinbgs,ut the m lor fendantd. Witnesass asked for her three weeks' wages,deid that witness should pay her the three weeks' wages before she left. She used viuleut language, which witness could not repeat. Mr. Stratton--But you must atate ik The witness then repeated the language, which was of a foul and abusive character. The defendant again used this language when witness said she would not pay the wage', but would stay and do her work, told; said, " I will lock you in my cellar and give you fish bones to eat." Witness rushed sip stairs while the defendant was pouring some port wine into a tea-cup, and again fetched a cal.. This was half-past six o'clock, but the defendant would not let the cabman in nor witness out of the house, but kept her until nearly nine, striking her all the time on the head and the shoulders, and hurting her very much. She also used very bad language. A policeman came to the top of the area steps and said, " You had better pay this cabman." She ash', " They will not let me out, they will kill me." Mre. Kitchener left about seven. The defendant said to the policeman, " Come in, sergeant, and have some drink," and she poured out some port wine into a teacup. He said he did not drink. The policeman saw the defendant strike her, and heard the defendant abuse her in most violent terms. Witness got away at 9 o'clock, hut the defendant kept hack her largest box. She would not allow anybody to waist her with her boxes, so she had to drag them along the floor. She afterwards took out a summons for her box. The day after the assault she went to a doctor. Cross-examined—She went to her lawyers the same day. She was sober at the time. She did not go down on her knees and call upon all the saints. The defendant knocked her down ; and her son, who was twenty years of age, kicked witness, and the defendant's daughter saw what was done. The defendant also, in very foul language, told the witness to go to the Pope. Witness had nothing to drink that day hut one glass of ale. She never told her mistress that she would let her know what an Irish row was. The defendant seized her by the throat frequently, anti witness did nothing but cry. There was a hon , entaiti, who was n niece of the defendant. Miss Twiss " Don't strike her, for you know she will he glad of it but the son said, "Lay into Irish. mother, for they can do nothing to you fur striking her in your own house." (Laughter.) Edward Power, a police constable, said that on the 17th October last he was on duty in Sutherland-terrace. At No. 24 the cabman made a statement to me, and I told him to ring the hell. No one came, and witness went down the area steps. The door was then opened, anti Mrs. Twiss said, " Come in, sergeant," but he was not yet a sergeant. He observed Mrs. Twiss well. She mine to the door in a drunken attitude, anti said, " Come in, sergeant. I will tell you all about it." She made use of moat foul language in reference to the Pope. This was addressed to the plain tiff. There were two young ladies and a young gentleman in the kitchen. Mrs. Twiss poured port wine into a tea cup and offered it to him. He refused it. She put her hand round the plaintiff's neck and said, " I will punch your face." The plaintiff, who was crying, slipped from under her arm. The plaintiff was sober ; the defendant was drunk. Shortly afterwards he left the house. Mr. Gough—Why did you not assist the plaintiff ? They were in their own place and no complaint was made to him. He simply went down to get an address for the cabman. Ile heard the defendant's son abuse the plaintiff. Witness went back with another constable. The plaintiff was getting into a cab, and she was crying. Cross-examined—Witness was an Irishman himself. The witness denied in detail various things which it was suggested he had done with a view to getting the defend ant to allow the plaintiff some compensation. Re.examin al—He saw the plaintiff at the request of the defendant, to know what she wanted ; whether it was money, or what. Geo. M. Matthews, the cabman, said that the plaintiff was sober. He was kept waiting half or three-quarters of an hour, and then be went down the steps. The defen dant put her hand against him, and told him to keep out. She said she would have his ticket or his number, or she would Sue him forty bob. (A laugh.) The defendant was drunk, and could not stand straight. He waited there from half-past six until nearly nine. He saw the defendant push the p'aintiff backwards into the corner three or four times, when she tried to give witness her luggage. He was called down into the area three or four times to fetch the luggage. He heard the defendant make uas el very THE E foul language, and he alao heard what aloe maid about tl Pope. -It was Yrs. Twiss that celled the policeman down. George Marshall, a police constable, said that when he law the plaintiff going away she was crying, and said her mistress had been ill-using her. Dr. Blenerhasset said that the plaintiff came to him on the morning of the 18th . October. He examined her face, neck, and shoulders. She was contused about the eyes, neck, and shoulders. The skin was slightly black and very red. This would be caused by her being pulled about and shaken. He saw her three times, and his fee was two guineas. Mr. Denman, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said that the filthy language and had conduct imputed to Mrs. Twiss was an entire fabrication of the plaintiff and her witness ; end that the truth was that the plaintiff her self was drunk, abusive, and violent. He would also show that Mrs. Twiss had never struck the plaintiff. Mrs. Agnes Twirls said that she heard that the plaintiff was going to leave on the 17th October. On the morning of that day witness gave orders for dinner, but the plain tiff did not answer her. Witness soon afterwards said, " I hear you are going to leave me ; if so you had better tell me." She said she was not going. Some time afterwards she was going out, and witness asked her where she was ing. She said, "To get lodgings." Witness sa id she thought that the plaintiff was going to stop her three weeks, and that it was very unjust treatment on her part. She said " Yes ; and I'll show you what an Irish row is when I come back." The plaintiff returned about 5, and soon afterwards she heard a noise in the kitchen, and went down. She asked the plaintiff why she did not take her boxes sway quietly, and she then saw that she was drank. She was very _much excited. She was rolling up against the staircase balusters, and she threw herself upon her boxes, and fell over them. She wu screaming vio lently without any cause. Witness said, " Woman, will you go," and she went for a cab. This was about seven. Hearing talking outside witness called the constable down. Most decidedly witness never used the language imputed to her. Witness had to tell the police magistrate the language the plaintiff used, and then she turned round and said that it was witness who used the Ltnguarge. This was the first time witness heard that the words were imputed to her. When the policeman came witness took hold of the plaintiff's shawl and turned her round and said, " Woman, will you go!" This was the only assault she had committed. The police man, Power, came to her house some days after and said that the plaintiff meant to trump up • fine case against her, that she had already paid 51. down, and that she had been to a surgeon, and would swear she was beaten black and blue. He said it would be better to give her a 51, note to smother it ; but witness said she would not give her a farthing. He said he would try to frighten her and to stop the case. Witness said, " Pray don't stop it, as far as lam concerned I would rather it went on." I said I wished she would take away her large box, but he said she had better not send it anywhere for her, as it contained 801. in money. He made other attempts to induce witness to compromise the matter. Meet certainly witness was not intoxicated. She did not driuk port wiue out of a tea cup. She never drank port wine- She had no wine ex cept two glasses of claret with her dinner. What she drank out of the cup was tea. She never used vny of the dieguatinglanguaga which had been mentioned. It was the plaintiff used it. She never threatened to strike the Cross-examined--She did not offer the policeman drink. The whole of the statements in reference to her language and conduct were untrue. She was not in the habit of being intoxicated. She was never drunk at the Royal Oak, and was never brought home from that house. She bad never had anything to drink at the Gloucester Arms. Miss Florence Twins, the daughter of the defendant, who was present during the whole disturbance, said that the plaintiff swearer' to be drunk. She was using violent language and swearing. The defendant never struck plaintiff, nor tossed her boxes about, nor well any of the horrible expressions deposed to by the plaintiff. The plaintiff was using language of that description. It was not true that the defendant was at all intoxicated. To the Lord Chief Justice—There was no wine in the kitchen, and none was offered to the policeman. Sarah Kitchener, a charwoman, said she was at work at Mrs. Twiss 's in October last. The day before the dis turbance the plaintiff said she should leave on Thursday, and witness told Mrs. Twiss. On the 17th October the plaintiff went out at 10 and came back about half-past i. She was then intoxicatesl. Witness hail seen her intoxi cated several times before. When witness was helping her to pack up her boxes, the said that she wiehed that her mistress would strike her, soil she would let her know what an Irish row was. The plaintiff was down the upon her knees throwing her arms about, and praying to blessed Virgin to help her. blr. Denman—That is how theybegin an Irish row I sup poste. Witness—Yes. (Loud laughter.) Mrs. Twiss never struck the plaintiff, nor used the bad language. Mr. Denman—Yon can tell us what the language was ; you are not, I dare say, so particular as your mistress. Witness—Yes. lam very partical.sr. i Loud laughter.) She could not repeat it. She heard the plaintiff call upon the holy Pone. Cross-examined—She had on one occasion put the plain. tiff to bed because she wee drunk. She had been to chapel. Mrs. Twiss was abroad at the time. Mrs. Twins, in answer to the jury, said that she asked the policeman to take the plaiutitf away, but he would not. Stella Goldsmith, the housemaid, said she was no rela tion to the defendant. When she let the plaintiff in at five o'clock on the 17th of October she was drunk. The plaintiff was full half an hour en the floor praying. She called Mrs. Twiss names. She sail, "D— your eyes, I'll make you remember this." She said she only wished her mistress would hit her, she would make her pay dearly for it. It was not true that Mrs. Twiss used the bad lan guage imputed to her. The Vaintiff herself used it. Wit drank the Sunday night before she left. She was drunk about twice a week. Mr. Edward Twiss, the defendant's son, gave similar testimony as far as he saw the disturbance. Mrs. Twigs, in answer to the jury, said that she took the plaintiff without a character, because she could not get one on account of her having been abusive. The plaintiff was also recalled, and said that she slid not in fact have a character, but it was because the de fendant did not want one. Witness could have got a diameter. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said that it was admitted that Mrs. Twins laid hold of the plaintiff's shawl, and this technically amounted to an assault ; ao that the real question was which story they believed, that for the plaintiff or for the defendant, as upon this would depend the question whether the damages should be represented by the smallest coin of the realm or by an ample sum. His lordship, in going through the evi dence. commented strongly upon the fact that Mrs. Twigs was questioned as to drinking at public-houses, without any attempt being made to move the imputation. The jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff—damages, one farthing. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-DEr : S. A Pitting in banco had been appointed for to day for the purpo,e of giving judgments, but in conse quence of there being none prepared for delivery, their lordships did not ovule iuto court. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—NorrisonAm, Disc. 8. i • (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) On the county grand jury returning into court, after I; I discharging their duties, the foreman (the right bun. the Speaker of the House of Commons), addressing Mr. Baron Chanuell, said he was directed by his brethren of tho grand jury to state that it appeared to them that to warrant the holding of an extra assize the list of prisoners in gaol should he in number not inconsiderable, and that I the offences with which they stood charged should he of a character which could not be dealt with at the quarter sessions. In the present instance in the county there was only one case, and only one prisoner in gaol. In the town there were ten cases, but nine of them would in an ordinary way be tried at quarter sessions, so that in reality the assize was hell to try one case in the town and one in the county. But as there was a separate , jurisdiction in the town and iu the county, there was a grand jury summoned for the town, and a petty jury , and for the county a grand jury and forty-eight petty jurors— not to speak of his lordship and the bar c died from their important duties in London at the pre- ! sent inclement season. The machinery set in motion seemed to the grand jury quite out of proportion 1 with the work io be done. The grand jury would submit a second question to his lordship, whether it was necessary under such circumstances, when there was only one case in the county, that the county should be included in the commission. In conclusion, the speaker made a request that these considerations might be sub mitted to the authorities at bead-quarters. Mr. Baron Channell, in reply, said the subject was one upon which he could not offer an opinion. The arrange ments for holding the winter towizes were made by the government at the end of October, and it was supposed there would he an increase of prisoners. would see • that the presentment was forwarded to the proper quarter. . . NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—MANCHLWER, DEC. 8. (Before Mr. Justice Smith and a Special Jury.) Braves V. L. isnot( ANI) NORTH WESTERN RAU.WAT COM PANT.—COM£ENSATION CLAIN. Mr. Temple, Q.C. and Mr. Pope were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Aspirant", Q.C., and Mr. Littler were for the de fendants. This was a very painful case to investigate in a court of justice. Mr. Wm. Henry Hayes, the plaintiff, was formerly a silk manufacturer at Macclesfield, but retire.' from business at the time the French treaty was negotiated, and resided in retirement at Hazel-grove, near Stockport, devoting himself to literary mid scientific pursuits, and the enjoyment of a country life. Ile was a member of the Manchester literary and Philosophical Society, of the Natural History Society, and of other kindred institutions. (in Saturday, the 4th November, DMZ, he had been attend ing a meeting of one of these societies at Manchester, and returned home by the 545 p.m. train of the defendants. PRESS, MONDAY . EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1866. On arriving at Ardwick, about a mile from Manchester, the train ran into another, and plaintiff was thrown violently from one ride the carriage to the other, backwards and for wards, several times. He sustained no apparent injury beyond the shaking, but a few days afterwards symptoms -isn to manifest themselves showing a shock to Mae - spine, and he consulted a physician. On the present occasion he was brought into court reclining on a couch in • pitiable state of prostration. He was placed in this recumbent position on the bench, between Mr. Justice Smith and the end of the jury box. In order to examine him counsel bad of so steed on a bench so as to lean over the front of the elevated portion the court on which he was placed. The nervousness occasioned by his couch being lifted into that position omdered it necessary that some time should be given him to mein sufficient calmness to be ques tioned. He lay on his back, with his eyes closed, and spoke in a voice so feeble that counsel had to repeat his answers to the judge and to the court. Though stated to be 47 years of age, he appeared young for his age. He stated that he was a married man, and had three children. After describing the nature of the accident as above, be said be was in good health at the time of the occurrence, having been in North Wales, and returned stronger than usual. At that time he bad withdrawn a capital of about 5,000/. to 6,0001. from the silk business, and invested it in shares, but was treating with • view to re investing the money in trade. His s hare investments up Ito that time had been successful. Latterly he had been unable to attend to business and h ad lost about 4,0001. IMiss Clara Hayes, daughter of the plaintiff, said since she left school she had resided with her parents at Resel -1 grove, and had often accompanied her father in country rambles on horseback. He was fond of music, and played I a good deal on the piano and on the organ. Remembered ' him coming home on the evening of the accident, when he appeared very pale and much excited. Dur in g that winter a great change came over him gradually. He became quieter, and complained of his beak. He seemed to lose disposition to follow his investigations by the microscope from want of power to stead for more than a minute or two at a time. He gradually discontinued his efforts to play music. He became much prostrated and nervous, so Ai to suffer acutely from the ringing of a bell in the house, or any sudden noise. His old literary and scientific and other friends came to see him at times, and he was cheerful while they were there for • little time, but was always more depressed afterwards. Mr. Thomas Alcoek, Curator of the Manchester Natural History Society, who was by education a physician, de scribed visits to see plaintiff, and described the failure of all efforts to rouse him for more than a momentary period to his old love for scientific pursuits. He persuaded him once during August to raise himself on his couch to look at a rare specimen, but it was only for half a minute, and he fell back quite prostrated. Dr. Turner, of Stock port, who bad been physician to plaintiff's family, said plaintiff's father lived to be eighty-one, and his mother to be seventy-eight. Plaintiff was healthy and active up to the time of this accident. Was consulted lss him first on the Gth November. His entry in his diary of the con ', sultation was for "concussion of the spine from railway collision." His patient drew his attention, in December, to a numbness and prickling in the neck and thigh, with pain in bis back and palpitation of the heart, loss of ap petite and of sleep. He also complained of contraction round the waist, as if a cord was drawn round it. These symptoms hail been followed by enlargement of the heart, dimness of sight, loss of memory, and general prostration, from which the prospects of recovery were slight. Damages laid at 7,000/. The defendants did not deny the negligence and injury, but called medical and other evidence with a view to reducing the claim. Verdict for plaintiff—Damages, 4,5001. DURHAM, DEC. 8. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) THE HOUGHTON-Lt./WRING MURDER. Henry Brovnleas 55, pitman, was charged with the wilful murder of Ann Maria Reed, at Houghton-le-Spring, on the 18th of October, 18W. The case excited consider able interest. The court was full. The prisoner had on • suit of black. He wore round his neck a scarlet muffler, the thick folds of which concealed the marks caused by his attempts to cut his own throat. There was a peculiar expression about the prisoner's face. His cheek-bones were high and prominent ; his forehead hard ; his eyes small and sunken, and his mouth sharply cut and conforming with a generally low type of features. His hands were charrcd ; his manner callous. The accused was said to have caused the death of a girl between two and three years of age by applying a red hot poker to a barrel containing 201bs. of gunpowder. Mrs. llrownless, (laughter-in-law of the prisoner, gave her evidence with difficulty. A medical gentleman hail to be called to her, and as she was in a fainting state and generally ill, it was deemed advisable that she should leave the court for a short time. Mrs. Reed , the moth er of the lost child, was I indisposed. These females were provided with seats whilst I giving their evidence. Mr. Blackwell appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Foster defended. ' The evidence went to show that the prisoner, after drinking a glass or two of rum on the 18th October, applied a red hot poker (which he had put into the fire) to a bar rel containing 201bs. of gunpowder, causing an explosion which destroyed the premises, and so burnt the child Reed that she died. The other parties in the house were Mrs. Browele s and Mrs. Reed (whom the prisoner had sent fur), and whom he was supposed t i have hail sonic ill-feel ing towards, as he called them his two enemies, and bad reflected on their reputation so much that his laughter in-law had once left the house, but had been induced, by apology, to return. Mr. Foster addressed the jury for the prisoner, attempt ing to set up a plea of insanity. The jury, however, after an hour's deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of murder, and he was sentenced to death. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Payne.) THE CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN. The court was occupied the whole of Saturday and in the evening trying two cross indictments, one for assault upon Henry Crampton, of No. 1, Brownlow-street, Dal. ston, and the other charging the said Henry Crampton with assaulting the constables in the execution of their duty. The facts of this case have been so fully reported already that it will not be necessary to go into them again. Mt. Bexley, having opened the case, called the defen dant Crampton, who gave his version of the affair. He aaiil he was living at No. 1, Brownlow-street, and on the night in question he was called up out of his bed, and RAW the defendant Davis, who told him his two sons were in custody for loitering, and were locked up in Kingsland station. rpm that he said he would go and get them out, to which Davis said it would take a better man to get them out ; they were locked up, and there they must stop until Monday morning. This occurred on Saturday night, the 27th of October. He said, " Are you the man who locked them up r and he said " Yes." Witness then said, " Get out of my house," and pushed him with his open hand. Davis drew his truncheon and struck him several times over the head, and cut his head open. lie managed to get him outside, but shortly after wards he returned with the other defendant, when their brutality was renewed, and he was dragged, in almost an insensible state, to the police station. The defendant's wife. hisbrother, and two other witnesses gave corroborative testimony. Mr. Griffiths cross-examined them, and afterwards ad dressed the jury. Mr. Presley, in his reply, made use of some very strong observations upon the conduct of the prisoners who, being entrusted with authority, thought tit to abuse it in the shameful, dastardly manner they had done. The jury retired, and after an absence of about three quarters of an hour returned into court. The foreman said, " findCrampton .IC ,, t Guilty, and Davis and Jarvis Guilty of unnecessary violence." Mr. Payne said he should not pass sentence, and Mr. Griffiths applied that bail should be taken for their reap pearanci. After some discussion the court allowed them to go at large upon finding one surety in the sum of :Al., and enter ing into their own recognisancea in 1001. each. his card, and said that it was a mistake. The witnese said that he did not now thin k it was mistake. He was a painter by trade. but the last person he worked for was at Philade lphia, in America. He went to America about nine weeks ago, thinking he should be able to bet ter him self, and he only returned to England at the beginning of last September. Since that time he had bee n engaged during the day in going about looking for work, sad at night he sold penny toys about the streets, and this was the only way he had of obtaining a living. A City police constable, who was on duty in Cheapside at the time referred to, said that the last witness came to him about half-past 2 o'clock, and charged the prisoner with having attempted to pick pockets. lie watched him for about ten minutes, but did not see him do anything more than look at the photographs in the w indow, like the other persons who were these and he therefore declined to interfere and want away. The last witness afterwards came to him again, and gave the prisoner in charge. In answer to questions put by Mr. Beard, the constable said that the prisoner indignantly denied the charge. and the inspector at the police station was so satisfied with re gard to his respectability that he at once admitted him to bail. Mr. Beard then addressed the Lord Mayor, and said that this was a most painful proceeding, and there was not the slightest foundation for the charge that had been made against the prisoner. He was a most respectable young man, holding a high position in a mercantile firm in the City of London, and his mother, who was a woman of fortune, was now in attendance, with his sister, and a host of respectable persons, who would satisfy his lord ship that the charge th a t had been made against him was a wicked fabrication. He thought he ought not, on the part of the prisoner, to he satisfied with his merely being discharged, but he shouldpropose to call witnesses to show his lordship the high position he ocxupied, and that he was utterly incapable of committing the offence that was im puted to him. The Lord Mayor interposed, and said that he considered it unnecessary to go into any such evidence as thatreferred to, as he had made up his mind that there was not suf ficient evidence to support the charge, and he should there fore order the prisoner to be discharged. Mr. Beard said be was afraid that was the only remedy that his client could obtain, but he could not help observ ing that the a ff air had caused the greatest pain to the prisoner and to the respectable family to which he be longed. If the law did not require the evidence of t two witnesses witnesses to support a charge of perjury he should tainly have given the witness Brooke into custody forthat offence, but as he was not in a position to corroborate the evidence that could be given by his client he was reluct antly compelled to let the matter drop. The charge was then dismissed, and the defendant left the court accompanied by his friends. HAMMERSMITH. Lord Ranelagh, colonel of the South Middlesex Volun teer Rifles, with other officers of the corps, attended to su pport several summonses against members for the non payment of their annual subscriptions. The refusal to pay was on the ground that the defendants, with other members, were entitled by their attendance at drill, &c., to a cer ta in sum each out of the c apitation grant allowed by government, but which they had not received. Mr. Turner, the adjutant, submitted that the grant had nothing to do with the rules of tho corps. The annual subscription under the rules was one guinea per annum, and that rule had not been altered in this corps. The government never intended that the men should receive the grant. It was paid for the working of the corps. In other regiments the rules had been altered, so that if a member was entitled to participate in the grant his sub scription was reduced. The present case arose no doubt from the desire of the men that the rules of this corps should be altered, and it was possible that they would be. Lord Ranelagh said that last year the expenses of the regiment amounted to 1,500/., and they had received 500/. from the government. This would show how the money was expended. Mr. Martin, who appeared for the defendants, pointed out to them that there was nothing in the rules with re ference to a reduction in the subscription fee ; but he raised another objection, namely, that there was no power to re cover more than one year's subscription, and one of these defendants was summoned for five years' arrears. Mr. Ingrain Raid it was certainly the law that proceed ings must be taken within one year after the annual sub scription became due, he could not therefore order pay ment of more than the last year's subscription. He would, however, give his lordship time to consider the point. Lord Ranelagh said that this opinion had taken him by surprise. It was a question of 400/. to the corps, which wax a very serious matter. The summonses were on this ground adjourned. LOW FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, held en inquiry et the London Hospital touching the death of Elizabeth Kelly, aged Ti) years, who lost her life through getting out of a carriage while the train was in motion. Alfred Harrison, porter, in the employ of the North London Railway, said that on the 7th of November he was on duty at the Shoreditch station. At 5.2 i in the afternoon a train arrived from Poplar at the up platform. He went along towards the centre of the train, opening the doors for all who asked to alight, and closing them again as he went along. The guard did the same for the forepart of the train. It was no part of witneas's duty to open • carriage door unless asked to o do so. Seeing the carriages all closed he gave the signal to go on. 'Upon looking round he noticed the door of a second class carrisge at the end of the train open. As the train went past he saw the d eceased dragged along between the foot-board and the platform. Ife seized hold of her, and was pulled in himself. His clothes were torn, and the skin taken off his knee. Re shouted to the guard, who applied his break, and signalled him to stop. The train was soon pulled up, and deceased was got out much injured. She was sent to the hospital at once. The carriage from which deceased attempted to alight was not occupied by any other passenger, and she must have opened the door herself. The train was a minute and a half at the platform. The guard of the train corroborated this evidence. Edward Turner said that three or four of the carriage doors were open when the train started. William Kelly said the deceased was the widow of a bellhanger, and she lived in an almshouse in Stepney. She had the perfect use of her faculties. She told witness that after she had nearly alighted on the platform the train jerked forward and she was thrown down. Mr. Sharpe, house surgeon, proved that deceased died on the 4th inst. from fracture of the thigh and other injuries. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." COLLISION ON THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY. A very destructive collision occurred between two goods trains on Friday morning at the Longtown Station, on the North British Railway. Early on that morniag a goods train was standing at the Longtown Station, taking on and leaving waggons, when another goods train came up on the same line, and ran into the rear of the train which was standing. Several of the waggons were smashed, and the broken parts scattered in all directions. The line was blocked up, and the engine of the train which caused the collision knocked off its wheels and much damaged. 'When the eilgineman, stoker, and guard saw that a collision was inevitable, they leapt from the train, and so saved their lives. It was several hours before the line was cleared, but this did not interfere with the regular traffic, which was taken through the goods shed, close to where the col lision took place. The cause of the accident is not very clear, but it is believed that the pointsman had neglected to give the danger signal when the train came up.—North British Mail. NEW REGULATIONS RESPECTINO THE CATTLE PLAC:E.—Her Majesty's Privy Council have just passed several regulations respecting the quarantine of cattle. By these regulations it is ordered that no person shall have admittance to the quarantine pens, or be permitted to tend to the cattle, except the owner or his appointed agent, the inspector, or other officer appointed by the Cus toms, or the Privy Council ; at .d that any person so ad mitted shall be so admitted solely by the officer in charge of the station. The owner may, however, appoint persons to attend to the necessary cleansing of the pens and cattle, but the names of these individuals must be submitted to the officer in charge, and should they break any of the regulations, they shall be prohibited from again entering the pens. The inspector, at the expense of the owner, is to deal with any case of disease which may break out amongst the cattle ; but if no disease should have appeared in the animals in adjoining pens, they shall not be liable to be slaughtered, except the Lords of the Council approve thereof. The authorities are not to bear any expense iu connexion with this regulation respecting daughter. A certificate from an inspector of quarantine station must be obtained before any removal of animals, carcasses, hides, provender, offal, meat, &c.; and the liens, with their entrances, and adjacent roadways must be disinfected with lime, or in some other manner, to the inspector's satisfaction. We understand that Harwich is about to be made an importing port on the conditions just specified. Printed copies of the regulations, of which the foregoing is a substance, are to be affixed to the entrance of quarantine pens. The Eastern Morning News states that a new Baptist church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, with nave, chancel, transepts, clerestory, rose window, tower and spire, reredos, communion table, and all the accessories of a handsome gothic Anglican church, has just been opened at Hull. The consecration services com menced with celebration of the Holy Communion, in which a large number of clergy took part, nearly all of them being formerly priests in the English church, and including the Revs. Baptist Noel, C. Hargrove (formerly rectos. of Kilmene), Thomas Dugard (late curate of St. Mary's, Hag,iersione), John Brown (late incumbent of Eaton Chapel, London), H. Brooke (late curate of St. George's, Southwark),C. Neville (laterector of Wickenby), and H. Jones (late curate of St. George's, Bloomsbury). Among the hymns sung was the well known " Christ is made the sure foundation," which is to be found in " Hymns Ancient and Modern," and is used at all high church consecrations.

GwirENwicw PENSIONERS.—Upwards of twelve months since, in accordance with an act recently passed, the pensioners of Greenwich were allowed the option of leaving the establishment on a regulated out-door allow ance, and to return upon their former footing as inmates at the expiration of a year if they so determined. Nearly 2,000 pensioners left at the time stated, and of these less than 50 have availed themselves of the opportunity of re turning. The number of inmates does not at present exceed 350. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. A gentlemanly-looking young man, who had been ad• mitted to bail, attended before the Lord Mayor to answer a charge of having attempted to pick the pockets of seve ral gentlemen in Cheapside. Mr. T. Beard attended for the defence. This was a case of a very singular character. The com plainant was a shabby-looking young man, who stated his name to be Thomas Brooke, and described himself as a painter, and residing in Southwark, and, according to his evidence, he was in Cheapside on Friday afternoon, but could not say exactly what time, but believed it was between two and three o'clock, when he saw the pri soner standing at the stereoscopic shop window near Bow Church, and watched his movements. He represented that he then saw the prisoner put his hands into the pockets of several gentlemen, and he said he was so engaged for about twenty minutes. After he had watched I the prisoner for ten minutes he called the attention of a I police-constable to him, and he watched him for some I time, but as he did not see him do anything suspicious be went away and refused to interfere. The witness said that he then asked permission to go on to a scaffold that was close by, and from thence be watched the move ments of the prisoner, and saw him put his hands into other gentlemen's pockets. He went to one of the gentle men and asked him if he had lost anything, and he said he had not, and the prisoner then walked away, and he followed him and gave him into custody. This witness, in cross-examination. gave a very extraor dinary account of himself. He said that there were a number of persons besides the prisoner stand ing at the window, and four times he went and stood close by him, and he distinctly saw biro put his fingers into one gentleman's pocket, but he could not say whether it was the waistcoat pocket or the trousers pocket, but it was near the waistcoat. The prisoner bad a top °oat on which was partially unbuttoned, and his thumbs were in his own weistooat pocket pert of the time. When he charged the prisoner with having attempted to pick a gen tlemen's pocket, he pulled out his card case and offered MARKETS. COTrON.—LryznPoot, Dcc.

COTTON GOODS.—Mauereerree, Dec. B.—The mar ket for yarns and cloths has been quiet and depressed all the week,and whatever of strength in prices remains is due to the continued activity and firmness of the Liverpool cotton market. The business has been exceedingly limited The tendency in all kinds of yarns up to yesterday was to lower values. Yesterday there was more inquiry for the Bolton class of yarns, at O. per lb. higher rates than were before attainable. Mule 404 to 60's were rather firmer. For 120's as much as Id. extra has been given. India mules generally and water twist were steadier but not dearer, and water twist and the Blackburn class of yarns remained unchanged. l'rices are about the same to-day. Cloth has been depressed, and there has hardly been a de mand equal to the production, though that has been much limited, in some cases by the stoppage of looms, and in other cases by the stoppage of entire mills, as well as by short time working. There was a more lively inquiry yes terday, but it did not result in much business, and to-day the market has relapsed into much the same state it was previously,except thatsellers appearmore dispobedto resist the decline in prices. A corrected statement of Messrs. Orme rod, Jervis, and Thompson was presented at a meeting of creditors yesterday, showing the liabilities to p be 101,3uFt., and the assets 37, and an offer was acceted of 7s. 6d. in the pound, payable in three equal instalments on the Ist of Jantary, Ist February, and lit May. WOOLLEN.—Lams. DEC. S.—Although the cloth halls this morning have shown a slight improvement in the attendance of buyers, which has comprised a few represen tatives of Bradford and Manchester houses along with the usual appearance of Leeds merchants there has not been any addition to the amount of business dune. Most of the houses now confine their operations eit her to " jub lots" or in sorting up stocks, and as the demand for heavy goods is now so limited few transactions in these makes take place. The spring samples which are brought into the market appear to absorb the most uttention, and as the sales which are effected in these goods are yet confined within narrow limits, and the business of the cloth hulls quite of a prospective character, the transactions are not yet of an extensive nature. In the Coloured Hall a few tweeds in dark shades have again changed hands,alongwith a aprin kli ng of the brighter and more delicate colours suitable for the coining season. Coding, and Meltons have not been in much request, and the transfer of plain sloths has also been of a quiet character. Trade in the white market has shown little variation. A few small parcels of hair lists have been transferred. There have also been in quiries for white mediums, though not to any large extent. Prices have been fully maintained. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADTORD, Dec. B.—The improved tone of the past fortnight continues, and though some spinners manifest great caution and refrain from operating there is a much better disposition to purchase wool, and generally a more hopeful feeling with regard to the future prospects of the worsted trade. A considerable quantity of wool has changed hands during the week, and staplers have sought an advance in price. Growers of wool, who still retain the bulk of it, ask prices which can not be obtained in this market, and staplers consequently are not wishful to sell unless they can obtain current rates. In worsted yarns considerable business has been done by the export merchants in purchases from stocks, which have been greatly reduced. Spinners are consequently seeking an advance, and the tendency of this is to prevent merchants from placing contracts. Most spinners, how ever, have recently received large orders, and are well en gaged for some time. There is very little new business doing in goods. The demand from every quarter is un usually me re. Manufacturers, however, continue in a position to be able to maintain quotations. There is a slight improvement in the continental demand. The Americans purchase slightly from stock, but place no orders. The home trade is very flat. HARDWARE.—DIRMINCHAM, DEC. B.—Trade here is a little better ; the orders through the factors are larger, and manufacturers are most of them more actively en gaged. Such is the case in respect of most of the fane• trades. The electro-platers are also better supplied orders. In those brunches which constitute the metal trades business is for the most part quiet, and the demand for material is slack, consumers not extending their present requirements; this notwithstanding the fact that the price of copper is now much below the average of late years, there having been a further fall of 5/. per ton this week. In the foreign department business continues in active ; any improvement which has been impending in connection with our trade to the east is again checked by the increasingly unfavourable exchange. A little more is being done on account of the north of Europe, and to the Australian markets. The American trade is also tole rably well sustained, but it is less active than it was twelve months ago. _ _ CORN.-CAMORIDGE, DEC. 8.-Wheat and barley were both 2.5. lower. Oats quite as dear.
