musia ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. 1 The Bolientiaii Girl was performed at Covent- I , prelee last night, fur the debut of a young and highly pro mising aspirant to the honours of the musical stage—Miss Anna Hiles, who appeared in the character of Arline. This young lady, we believe, is new to the boards, though she del not betray the stiffness or the awkwardness of a novice. On the contrary, she presented herself with grace ful ease as well as becoming modesty, and through• nut the whole part personated the interesting ;tipsy girl with spirit and intelligence. She is handsome, with an open and pleasant countenance, capable, too, of considerable ♦ariety of expression. As a singer she has fine qualities—a full, flexible voice, unerring truth of intonation, considerable brilliancy of execution, and that rare and valuable gift, a beautiful shake. liar aria elintrata at the beginning of the second act—the famous " I dreamt I lay in marble balls"—at once pined the favour of the audience. Re sang it charmingly, and eve rewarded by a burst of applause and a loud call for its repetition from every corner of the home. The duet which immediately follows, "The Secret of my Birth" — see of the finest thiop in the opera—admirably sung by km and Mr. Harrison, was conclusive as to the extent of her powers. The double cadenza, which leads into the quick movement, was executed by both singers with perfect (rumble : and the cabellette was wrought up to a high pitch of brilliancy and animation. Throughout the whole opera she displayed undiminished talent and energy ; and we lave not for a long time witnessed a more complete and de cided success. The opera—which, without disparagement to Belle's subsequent work, we still regard as his chef irtruvre—was on the whole extremely well performed, and went off with great spirit. Harrison was the original Thad deus ; be " created" the character, and has so completely identified himself with it, that it seems an usurpation for any one else to assume it. Last night he acted and sang it as well, and was se well received, as ever. All the other eharacters bad satisfactory representatives ; Miss Susan Pyre was the Gipsy Queen, Mr. Weiss was Count Arnheim, and Mr. Corri Devilaboof. The home was full, and the audience were evidently pleased. Such an opera, so per formed, ought to have a run, and we have no doubt that it will. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

It Lis been intimated that many of the gen tlemen whose names figured very prominently in the Liverpool subscription list will duplicate their sub scriptions at the forthcoming county meeting, and that notwithstanding the very large amount; which lave already been given the list will contests no coe temptfole sums posted to the names of Liverpool men. The aldermen acd town councillors, together with a number of philaothropic gentlemen, are making the molt strer uous exertions on behalf of the operatives, by holding ward meet ings and organizing a thoroughly effective system of collection. iNDON-BRIDOZ TIRMINCM 110YEL COMPANY IldmiTED.l Yesterday the half.yearly meeting of this com pany was held at the betel, London-bridge ; Lfr. Challice in the chair. The substance of the report of the directors hrl shady been published. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, referred with satietactioo to the Let that the company now possessed not only a good and profitable badness but also a large quao.ley art surplus land, a great many unburned shares and uninsurd debeutur They were under negotiation with the London and Brighton Company for the side of the surplus land, and the price would be left to arbitration. With respect to the dividend the board had originally intended to divide t p.-r cent., hut tie business of the hotel continued so favourable that they thought it but justice to the shareholders that they should veep the full advantage of their speculation, and they had therefore come to the resolution to divide lO per cant. Their tavern and wine bushiest' would, he was sanguine, yield them • huge amount of profits. The working or the tap business was already highly remunerative, and at was in contempla tive to give It greater extension. Mr. Baumgarten se seeded the motion, which was agreed to. The dividend as recommended wasdeelared, the usual honorarium voted to the directors, and a further sum of 50 gallium voted in alleviation of the Lancashire distress, when the proceedings terminated. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY.—The half.vearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Loudon Tavern ; C. It. CO4lllllll in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, theiteport of the directors was submitted. The report stated that the amount to the credit of revenue was 1.4751. The directors noticed that there had bt en • small increase in the traffic of the half-year over the corramondiog period of last year, although, owing to the depression of trade. almost every Irish railway bad been considerably down in their r ecei pts during the year. The directors re commended that a dividend at the rate of I per Gent. per annum be paid on the preference stock of the company tor the half-year, and that the balance after such payment be applied to clear off the remaining old outstanding accounts, which would leave 1691. 19e. 10d. to be carried to next account. The board said they were glad to inform the shareholders that the board of the Kilkenny Junction Railway Company had entered into a contract for nuking the extension line to Abbeyleix, in the Queens County, • distance of 19 miles from Kilkenny, and the works were is progress ; this, when completed, would draw a large amount of traffic to the railway. The report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum upon the nrefersone stock declared.

Sittiug• at Nil Prior at Westminster.— (Before the Lord Chia Justice and • Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. WELLS. This was an action for libel The defendant pleaded nut guilty. The Attorney-General and Mr. Gray were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Serjeant Shee, Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., nod Mr. lleoisfurd, were counsel for the defendant. The Attorney-General said a criminal information bad been filed aiisiust the defendant, the printer and publisher of the Rail way Tinics, for printing and publishing four articles rellectiug on the conduct of Mr. Whalley, M.P. for Peterborough, relative to certain railway matters, particu larly with reference to the Downier) , andliewtown Railway, and in disparagement of the plaintiff's standing and re pute in his own neighbourhood when be exercised the functions of a magistrate. Mr. Whalley had denied the allegations and charges in an affidavit, and upon it and others the criminal information was filed, and upon that the defendant pleaded not guilty. He understood it was now proposed to withdraw that plea, and plead guilty. Mr. Serjeant Shea said be was instructed by the defend ant to withdraw the plea of not guilty and plead guilty. He was further instructed by the gentleman whoLe servant be was, and who wrote the articles com plained of, and was the proprietor of the public*: Mon, to express his regret at having published them. He was now satisfied, from Mr. Whalley s affidavit and the others that had been filed, that the articles were written under an impression of dates which entirely altered the chsnicter of the traoractions which were the subject of comment, and he withdrew unequivocally the commenta and expressions contained in the articles which were offen sive and had been painful to Mr. Whalley's feelings. The Lord Chief Justice—Are you satisfied Mr. Attorney- General The Attorney-General—Yes, my lord. The Lord Chief Justice, addressing the jury, said they would have to return a verdict of guilty, upon which he presumed they would hear nothing more of the cue. The parties appeared to be satisfied, and no doubt it was a satisfactory termination for all parties. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 2& Sittinp at Nisi Prime in Middlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erle and a Common Jury.) The only case of any public interest which came on to day was an action against " Professor" Holloway to recover 500/. for procuring a patent for the sale of his ointment in France and the French colonies ; tbe matter wet not concluded when the court rose, and the further heaf.og was appointed for Monday, to snit the convenience of counsel. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 28. Sittinp at Nisi Prim after Term at Weatininder.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) MORTON AND ANOTHER r. lILISON.—THE OXFORD MDBIO HALL.—DRPACH OP ENOAGEHMIT NT A VOCALIST. This was an action to recover 551. in penalties for breach of au agreement entered into between the plaintiffs (Messrs. Morton and Stanley) and Miss Maria L. Ellison, on the 23rd ot March, 1861, whereby the latter agreed to sing at the Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls every night, except on Sundays and certain holidays, for twelve months, at • salary of 61. per week. The alleged breach was that she re fused to sing on 11 nights in December, 1861, by which she had rendered herself liable to an many penalties of 51. each. The defendant pleaded • number of pleas, the principal of which were that she was compelled to be absent owing to ill-heelth, and loss of her voice in consequence of being re qured toeing at unreasonable times and to an unlimited extent. She also claimed as set off to the amount of 15/. Mr. Overeod, Q.C., and Mr. Tindal Atkinson were counsel fur the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Huddleaton, Q.C., and Mr. Quaid for the defendant. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, in opening the case, said the plaintiffs were the proprietors of the Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls, and the defendant was a young lady who bad been engaged to sing at those establishments nightly, at a salary of 64 • week. Broughams were provided by the proprietors, to convey the crudes from one ball to the other. The engagement with the defendant was entered into in March, 1861, and she noon became a general favourite of the public, and was very success... l . Finding she had made • bit" she began to show dissatisfaction, complained of the salary being too small, and that unsuit able pieces bad been selected for her. She abet nted her self from reheareals, and then performancea and showed • good deal of temper, which was not at all ble to the plaintiffs. This conduct greatly inter' with the ar rangements for the performances, but it was continued until the 12th of June, when she wrote &letter to the plaintiffs, raying she wished to he excused two nights a week without loan of salary, or to remain at the Oxford entirely, adding " the going to and from the Oxford and Canterbury every night is what I cannot and will not do. I would rather give it up altogether than be subject to such slum j." The learned counsel then detailed the other circumstances which led to the plaintiffs bringing this action, and called the following witnesses : Mr. Freak. Stanley, one of the plaintiffs, said they had nearly,lo.l performers, and that the engagement of the de fendant commeneed with the opening of the Oxford. She tint star 1 away from rehearsals and then objected to sing in the chorused'. Man) times the performances were de layed by her refusing to go on the stage. Sometime, she objected to sing because she had gut • cold, and at others said she would not go tram the one place to the other. She would speak to him in • violent manner for twenty minutes together without the least chance ot his saying • single word in reply. (Laughter.) He then declined to accede to the terms of her letter. She then complained of not being paid u much as Mimi Ramat', another vocalist, and the prima donna, who was in receipt of a much larger sum. She said money went • long way, and that if she got as much SA Miss Russell she would do as much as was required of her. She went in July to the sea side on the ground of her voice being affected. She refiLed to take her salary minus the deductions for the nights she was abeent. He thought there was nothing the matter with her voice. He considered it was in its prime ; and he denied that she had say ground for complaint in having too much singing imposed upon her. Cross-examined—Smoking and drinking went on during the performances. There was a good deal of smoke from the smoking, but not • crest deal of noise from the thinking. (Laughter.) The place was well ventilated, and the smoke readily escaped. One night the defendant would not go borne, and remained at the Oxford all night. Mr. Weston, of the Holborn Music Hall, wished to enter into an engage ment with the defendant to sing there • but Mr. Morton objected, and said if it were enteredlinto ' he would move for an injunction. She never sent to him or Mr Merton medical eartificates, or complained of the night air. Four broughams with warm rags were provided for the ladies in going from one hall to the other. Mr. Baron Martin—Are the broughams commonly con f led to the ladies ? (Laughter.) Mr. Stanley—O yes, and we only put four in &brougham. Mr. Morton deposed that he never saw any appearance of illness in the defendant. She sang the night she com plaiumi as well as ever, and with the same applause. Crosirexamined—She afterwards complained of a sore the oat, and I gave her claret and Cayenne pepper. (Laugh ter.) Thai ie a very good remedy. Once the defendant re fused to leave the Oxford unless she were paid her salary without deduction, and she remained there all night, and until 10 in the morning. Mr. Baron Martin-1 suppose she walked about all night? Mr. Overend—Yes, with the watchman, I behave. (Laughter.) Mr. Morton—The defendant was to forfeit 51. per night if absent without permission. M. Ferdinand Jonglimans, the musical conductor, said he made the engagement with the defendant. She came with her music master, and of course sang her beet. Afterwards she did not sing well at all. One night she objected to go on the stage because she had a bad throat, but Le gave her some claret and cayenne, and he never beard her sing better. (Laughter.) On another occasion she declined to go from the Canterbury to the Oxford. She tdked and talked. and he allowed her to go on because if he intei,xised she talked the more. (Laughter.) She was • terrible temper. (Loud laughter.) Cross-examieed—There was a good deal of trouble in managing the ladies. It was the only trouble he had. (Laughter.) Mr. Quin—That is the only trouble of your life? Wituess—ln business hours. (Laughter.) Mr. Quoits—You go, I believe, every night from one hall to the other with the ladies? Witness—Oh yes. (Laughter.) Evidence was then given to show that 101. was once de ducted from the defendant's salary for ten nights' ab , ence. Miss S. Meta, a vocalist at the Oxford, said the defendant frequently told her she would not sing if she did not get the whole of her salary. She often said she ought to be paid as much as Miss Russell. She was a very violent temper. Other witnesses having been dated in support of the plaintilra case. Mr. Quid° then addressed the jury for the defence. He contended that the absence of the defendant from the Oxford end Canterbury Halls on the nights in question was owing entirely to ill-health and loss of her voice, brought on by the hard work which she had to undergo, and not from any desire to evade the agreement and get :a more lucrative engagement elsewhere. He commented on the hardness of the agreement to the defendant, who though she only got 11. • night bad to pay a penalty of 51. for every night's absence, and said that the object of the action was to compel her to resume au engagement which she was inca pable of fulfilling with due regard to her health and voice. Miss Maria Lenexa Ellison, the defendant, was then exa mined. She said—l am the daughter of a Sheffield die maker. For two years I received Emmons from Signor Cre velli, at the Royal Academy. Afterwards, in 1857, I had my first engagement. Previously I had song at several concerts in the country. The engagement with the plaintiff was made for me by Mr. Scalds. Mr. Stanley gave me t ie agreement th ree days before I 'rived it. I signed t ignonince, believing that I was my teacher's property. The first time I appeared at the Oxford I sang a se lec tion from Dinoraa, which I had never seen before. It ie very heavy. I also sang in • selection from Norma at the Canterbury. I complained of bevies to sing these as well as soup and duets in one evening. One night I song as many as seven songs. Afterwards' I fell ill, and wanted to go to the seaside. I left for that purpose In July. Previously Mr. Mottos said if I did net sing at both please I should have nothing. I returned from the seaside la August and rammed my duty .1 , 1 and continued to sing as they deleted me. I Ant time sang the" Circassian" after five minutes' notice. I got an encore. I was nightly encored in this and other songs. Mr. Qll3lilll-1 suppose it is difficult for a lady to refuse an encore Witness—l like, of course, to sing again ;at least I like to be encored. (Laughter.) I don't object to sing encores, of course not. (Continued laughter.) Examination resumed—l found that the work affected my throat and voke, and I sang under very distressing circumstances. On the 14th December, 1 broke up almost entirely, 1 could not rings note. Mr. Morton has several times given as a remedy, claret and cayenne. I was not able to sing on the sth of Deoembei, and I sent an excuse, being quite boars. On the 6th I sang first at the Center. bury, in Norms. I made several breaks, not being able to ' reach the notes. Mr. Morton saw the state I was in ; but he still desired me to sing. On the 14th my mother gave me linseed tea and salad oil. When I received the writ 1 went to Mr. Stanley to see if I could make things comfortable. I had complained to him of the effect of the night air upon my voice in going from one place to the other, after having sung in a heavy selec tion of music. I have bad to wait at the doors of the Ox ford and Canterbury in thin satin shoes and • low-necked dream, on wet and other nights. I had to wait until " God save the Queen" was sung at the Canterbury, and after , wards had to par through the building after all the lights were put out in my thin clothes. I used to get home about one o'clock in the morning, and sometimes at nearly two. 1 applied household remedies to my throat until Jan. 8, 1802, when I went to Dr. Petlow, who gave me • certi ficate. Be said I was not to sing for three mouths, and that I should go to my native air or Italy. I went to Sheffield. (Laughter.) It is not true that I cover refused to sing on account of my health. lem too fond of singing when I am able. Probably I may have said to Miss Russell when she asked me what salary I wanted, "As much as you, of course '." but I never refused to sing in consequence of not having the same salary. lam aware that I said to Mr. Morton, "If you pay me more money, I will do more work." I could not do more. I was singing all night from seven to twelve. There were a great many rehearsals in the day, and I attended them ell. Cross-examined—A general fine of half-se:own was not imecaed upon the company in consequence of my absence. I began my singing career at Sheffield, where I sangat the Apollo and Atheneum concerts. Mr. Baron Martin—l suppose, Mr. Overend, you have attended those concerts yourself ? (Laughter.) Casa-examination resumed—l also went on • tour with Miss Susan Pyne. In concerts given by Mr. Bodda I sup plied the place of Mae Birch. I have snug duets at the Royal Academy concerts, at Hanover-square-rooms. At the Oxford and Canterbury I sang the "Shadow Song" and the recitative in DinoraA, and the "Costa Diva" in Nora, and there were always encores. I sang all these in one night, as well as Scorch songs and joUiog in parts of the choruses. I sang "Coming thro' the Rye." Mr. Baron Martin—ls there any wish on the part of the plaintiff to keep this young lady ? Mr. Overend—Yes ' • we think she is improved very much, and will make • very good singer. She is very awkward to manage, but we wish to keep her. The witness was then asked by Mr. Overend if ohs had shown any temper? Witness—lf I said "No " I suppose I should not be believed. (Laughter.) I have been sometimes • little annoyed, but I suppose I have not shown more temper than other professionals. (Laughter.) Mr. Overend—Have you ever said that you could sing as well as Mies Russell? Witness—l don't think I ought to be asked to answer that question. The question, however, having been repeated, witness maid, "lf I did not say it, I ought to have done .so. (Great laughter.) Examination nor tinned—l told her and Mr. Stanley that I wee deserving as much. Mr. Overend—Did you tell Mr. Stanley that money did one as much good as oil to the throat? Witness—He knew that as well as I could tell him. Mr. Overead—Did you say that if he paid you as mach as Miss Fussell you would do as much work? Witness—Miss Russell had • good deal more than I, but Ido not know how much. I never applied for a situation to Mr. We ton. He inquired about me, not 1 for Mir. I never applied for any other engagement, either at the Alharnbt• or elsewhere. I may have told a Mr. Etartleman that I would require 16 guineas a week. Mr. Overend—l suppose you made great progress during the lost year? Witness—" Practice makes perfect." (Laughter.) When I wra my tucker's pupil, of coons, I attended to his in 'tractions. By Mr. Baron Martin—l am now free. Dr. Petlow said he saw the defendant on the 6th January last, and gave her a certificate. She was suffering from an affection of the throat. It was in • kind of chronic ulcerated state, and the disease may have existed ten days, • fat niqht, or more. I advised her to take cod liver oil and rest from singing. I thought it desirable that she should not continue the practice of her profanation, but could not say for how long a period. Mr. and Mn. Ellison, the parents of the defendant, and several professional lollies and gentlemen, were called to prove that the state of her health and voice was such as to prevent her singing in public at the time she was alleged to have broken her agreemeut. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Overend then addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients. Mr. Baron Martin summed up the evidence, and said if the jury thought the defendant had broken the agreement, i he supposed it would be sufficient to give only oue or two penalties, as the object of these actions was generally only to enforce the contract entered into. The jury, without leaving the box, found • verdict for the plaintiffs—damages, 101., being two penalties of U. I each. Georg* 33r aid James Anderson were first placed at the bar. Baron Bramwell, addressing them, said they had been con victed of &robbery with violence, committed jointly. They met the prosecute'', • strong young man, in one of the moat public thoroughfares of the metropolis, Bloomsbury- street, at six o'clock in the evening, and one of them pushed him down, and they then robbed him of the property be bad about him. This wee in Well &crime of great enormity, but in their case it wee aggravated by the fact that after they had robbed him they beat and ill-used him In the most cruel manner. Such proceedings ma these were undoubtedly well calculated to produce great terror and alarm in the publics mind, and it was his duty to award a punishment canteen eurate to the offence. With regard to Roberts it appeared that he was convicted in 1858 of a burglary and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, but he obtained his liberty before that time expired, sod he bad only been at large six months when he committed this fresh offence. As to Anderson it appeared that he was convicted of a robbery with violence in 1859, and sentenced to three years' pearl servitude, and he had also suffered fourteen other convic tions, so that the present was his sixteenth conviction. He was sure therefore that with regard to him it was unneces sary to make any observations to justify the sentence that he was about to pronounce upon him. As to any chance of their being reformed, be feared that it was utterly hope less. He did not believe there were any of the materials of reformation in them, and that they were utterly desti tute of morality, shame, religion, or pity, and that if they were let loose they would do what any savage animal would do—namely, prey upon their fellows. As to the effect of punishment upon such persons, they'did not, no doubt, like confinement ; it was irksome to them, they were de te.i.vc:d, of their accustomed enjoyment. of spinet and to but they were fed, and kept warm, and the labour to which they were subjected was not of • very severe chancre, and when they came out of prison they speedily forgot what they had endured, and re turoed to their old courses. It was necessary, therefore, that the public should be protected from such persons for • very long period, and the sentence upon Anderson would be that of penal servitude for life ; and upon Robert %whose case did not appear to be quite so had, the sentence would be penal servitude for twenty years. James Mound, 31, and John Allen, 30, were next placed at the bar. Baron Bramwell said these prisoners bad been convicted of a similar offence, in another public thoroughfare, Long acre, and it appeared that they knocked the procecutordown and kicked him. hlowatt bad been before sentenced to six years' penal servitude, but he supposed for some sort of good behaviour be obtained his liberty in four years sod a half, when he appeared to have resumed his old courses, and at the time he war taken into custody there were found under his bed a jemmy, • life preserver, and a quantity of ' skeleton keys. It was manifest that he war a sort of person who must be kept out of the way of harming the public for some time, and the sentence upon him would be one of penal servitude for twenty years. With regard to Allen, it appeared that this was the only time that he bed been convicted, and he should therefore sentence him to penal servitude for ten years only. Charles Jones, 18, was the next prisoner that was placed at the bar. His lordship said that this prisoner bad been convicted of robbing a gentleman of his watch in the day time, in COW.. crams. He did not, however, use any violence, and he was a young man, and he hoped there might be some chance of his reforming. He should, therefore, only pentanee hint to four years' penal servitude. John Redwood, 22, was the next pi:soner brought up. Baron Bramwell said that the mroner had attacked the prosecutor in High Holborn, in company with several others, and hie throat was squeezed so violently that he spat blood for fifteen days. There were also several previous convic tion', and the ser.ence upon him would be that of penal servitude for ten years. John Painter, 21, and Charles Thompson, 22, were the next prisoners brought up. His lordship said the prisoners had been convicted of robbing a men in Cockapurstrest (the prisoner, Painter, exclaimed in an impudent tone, " Yea„ sir'), a place in which it might be supposed any one could walk with safety, sod the only favourable circumstance in their Case WAS that they did not use any violence. The sentence upon them, however, would be penal servitude for ten years. 1710114:18 Redshaw, 20, James Dixon, and Charlotte Bed shaw, 19, were next placed at the bar. His lordship said that this was a case that required a great deal of self-command to deal with with anything like calmoses. It appeared that the woman had induced the prosecutor to accompany her to a by place, and there he was attacked by the two men, who as saulted him and held him while the woman robbed hint, and not content with this, they got him down and kicked him with savage violence upon the head until he was almost left for dead. When he was discovered the blood was streaming from him, one eye was completely closed, and be could not see with the other. It was a most atrocious case of cruelty, and the senterce upon the two men would be twenty years' penal servitude, and upon the woman, who was probably their tool, be should par the seniors of penal servitude for four years. Joseph Hall, 30, and .Robert Last, 25, were next brought up. His lordship said that these prisoners had been convicted of assaulting a gentleman with intent to rob him, and it was very mach to be wished that persons like them should often meet with the same sort of treat:rent that they bad at his hands. It appeared that. in company with another person, they had attacked the prosecutor, but, although there were three of them concerned, he made a gallant resistance, disabled one of them, and gave these to the other, and they were both secured. They were, no doubt, both engaged, in concert with • woman, in an or ganised plan to - rob any one that might come in their way, which was an offence of a very aggravated character, and the only circumstance in their favour was that they did not appear to have attempted to make use of any violence. He then sentenced them to be kept in penal servitude for the space of five years. The prisoners who had been convicted in the early part of the day were then brought up. The first that was placed at the bar was John Kingston, 19. His lordship said that he had been convicted of • robbery accompanied with very considerable violence, but be was very youug, and it did not appear he had been convicted before, and he hoped that under those circumstances the sentence be was about to par was not an inadequate one to his offence. He then ordered him to be kept in penal servitude for ten years. Edward Marks, 41, Jaw Lane, 18, James Butler, 18, and John Ford, 18, the four remaining prisoners, were next brought up. Baron Bramwell, before paring 'enter" inquired of the officer in the case if be had ascertained how it happened that Ford had got out of the reformatory before the expi ration of the term for which he was sent there? The prisoner Ford, before the officer could reply, called out io a loud tone, " Why, for good conduct, to be sure." (Laughter in court.) The officer said he bad not learned under what circum stances the prisoner referred to was released from the ref H ce irt2hip then addressed the prisoners, and said that they had been convicted of a robbery in the public streets. The prosecutor, while going to his own home, and when he was close to it, was seized violently, throttled, and robbed, and then--and he really cwild not understand why such an act of wanton brutality should have been per petrated—be was struck a furious blow in the face, which did him grievous injury . The prisoner Marks appeared to have been already sentenced to seven years' trans portation, but it appeared that for some reason or other this sentence was not fully carried out, and in a very sbm. time after he regained his liberty be committed this offence, and there was no doubt that be was the roan who indicted the injury upon the prosecutor. That there would always be thieves, that persons would always be found ready to appropriate the property of others, he was afield would ever be the case, but be hoped the sentence he was about to pass upon this prisoner would be a warning to such per sona to be content when they bad obtained possession of the property of their victims. and not aggravate their offence by the use of brutal violence such as bad been exhibited in this cue. He then said that the sentence upon Marks would be that of penal servitude for life (when the sentence was pronounced, this prisoner called out, "That is no more than I expected") ; and as to the other prisonen, they were young. and pos. sibly the scene they had witnessed that day might terrify them, and induce them to refrain from evil courses, and the sentence upon them would be one of penal servitude for four years. It might perhaps be thought that the was too light a punishment, but it should be kept in mind that courts of justice always desired to give young men a e.hance of retrieving their character. He would, however, warn those who might be inclined to repeat the offence, that if the law as it stood at present, and the sentences now awarded. were not found outd o:lest to protect the public from such outrages, some revision of the law would certainly take piece and alterations made in the punishment with a view to produce that effect. The prisoners were then removed. Baron llnunwell, before he left the court, directed that a reward of 5/. should be given to each of the constable., William Gordon , a sergetnt of the C, Walter Holmes, a sergeant of the F who had 'hewn great activity and zeal in apprehending the prisoners Anderson and Roberts. It was anticipated that some act of violence might have been attempted when the p r isoners were brought up for judgment, and all the warders and an extra somber of police were in attendance in case of any emergency 'riming. No disturbance of any kind, howe v e r, took plane, and it 11 to be hoped that the severe sentences Tema upon some of the prisoners will bay. the effect of awaking Boa outrages , for the future. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Nov. 28. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ADAMS S. ADAMS. (Concluded from yetherday's Express.) James Adams, the respondent, having been sworn, said be bad done hie bast to get a hooted living, but her foraper was really so bad that he could not put up with it. Be had let her retain all the money taken in the business, and have her own way entirely. The first " row ^ was in consequence of his asking her to keep accounts. She said she would see respondent first. At last she went away for a week, and respondent advertised that be would not be answerable for her debts. One day after that be found her in his parlour. He did not speak to her till be had shut up the shop, and then he told her that she should not atop there till she brought the things back. Neither went to bed that night. The next day witness found out where the things were and fetched them back. Then they were pretty good friends again, and be had almost forgiven her for gang away ; but on as Saturday following she stripped the house and went away thain. Had struck her, or pinched her, or done any of the acts with which he was charged. Sir C. Oresswell said it was clear that two persons of very bad temper arid very bad habits, as to the language they used, had come together in marriage ; but the husband bad no right to add to his bad temper manual force and violence. There must, therefore, be a judicial arca ration. WALLACE N. WALLACE, GUTTER, AND MACNAMARA. In this part-heard case the Queen's Advocate (with him Mr. Pritchard) tendered some additional evidence to com plete the chain of identity. Charles Laudour also deposed that in April, 1860, he was employed to watch the respondent. He saw a gentle man accost her one evening on the Boulevard Magenta. They went to the Restaurant Gaillon, and were in a private room for two hours. A few days after he saw her accosted by another gentleman in the Palais Royal, and they went away in a cab with the blinds down. On a third day he saw heron the Boulevard des Italians. A gentleman spoke toher. At first she seemed inclined to say very little to him ; but eventually they went together into a magnet particidie., at the Mahon Doris, and locked the door. Had also seen her enter crameries which were frequented by low persons, and converse freely with the people there. Had also seen her at St. Lasers, which is a prison in Paris, for abandoned women. The Queen's Advocate summed up the case, contending that, if the evidence against Mr. Macnamara was 'naafi'. cient i there was at least ample evidence to convict the re spo out of adultery in the testimony of the last witness. Dr. Spinka, for Mr. Macoamars, contended that theta was no evidence against his client. All that bad been proved against him was that the respondent had once breakfasted in his room ; and the cowierpe declared that he had seen no greater familiarities thin were natural between persons of the same country living at the same hotel. The Court reserved its judgment. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Boron Bramwell.) Till GAROTTE ROBBIBIEft. Edward Marks, 41, John Lane, 18, James Butler, 18, and John Ford, 18, were aliened with a robbery with vio las*, upon Michael Murray. and the indictment alleged that, at the time of the robbery, the prisoners were armed with an offensive weapon. This was a very aggravated case. The prosecutor, on the eight of the 3rd of November, was at a ball at the Tee total Hall, Chelsea, and he was one of the mooey-takers. He was on his way home, about 1 o'clock in the morning, and just as be arrived near his own real- deuce in Symon-street, Chelsea, he was assailed by four' ' men, one of whom, positively identified as the prisoner Marks, seized him round the throat, and nearly throttled bins, while the other three rifled hie pockets of a watch and 18s. When the property had been obtained, Marks struck the prosecutor a tremendous blow on the cheek with a metal instrument, the effect of which was to break his jaw and knock out eight of his teeth, and he was still suffering from the Injuries that were indicted upon him at the time of the robbery. There was a great deal of air curnsimitial evidence to show that the throe younger pri soners were concerned with Marks in the octuuniesioe el the outrage. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the =. and certi fi cates were pat in @bowie( that Marks- Ford, lied been before convicted of felony. These primmer' were the. removed, and the court peolmsded pans sentessee upon duos who bad pesriomly bees con- Tided. ~-"-- " -_ THE POLICE COURTB. MANSION-HOUSE. Mary Ann Fosse! and Jakelerk !oaks were charged with highway robbery. The prosecutor, George Taylor, a potman, was that morn ing about two o'clock pulsing along Aldersgate-street, when the prisoners came up to him, and with violence began to rob him. He called out " Police," when the prisoners ran off, but the officers followed, and in • short time both prisoners were secured. The prosecutor gave • very satis factory reason for being out so late. He bad been to Greenwich, and, having missed the last train, be had to walk home. The polioe-conztables said the prisoners were well known sa bad characters. Alderman Carden said he had made up his mind to deal most severely with every case of highway robbery, and he should therefore commit both prisoners to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court. CLERHENWELL. James Kelly, alias Martin Kelly, a stout-built young fellow, about 19 years of age, residing at 8, Water's-court, Islington, aed desceibedi as a labourer, was charged with assaulting and stealing from the penal of Fredrick Greer, a coach-trimmer, of 37, Paradise-place, Lower-road, Isling ton, one watchcase and • 2s. piece, on the 26th inst. The complainant, who appeared in the box with the mark of a bruise on his cheek, said that on the evening of the 26th instant he wee in a public-home, drinking, and whilst there the prisoner and another young man came in and took some of his beer. lie (complainant) was rather the worse for liquor, and pro ceeded towards home, and when within • few yards of Vs door he wee pinned from behind, and whilst he was strng glieg the prisoner came in front of him, struck him a violent blow in the face, and otherwise ill-used him. The prisoner thee caught hold of his watch, but in the struggle, it being an old metal watch, the caw came off. When the prisoner ' struck him in the free he at the same time placed his hand l in his waistcoat pocket and stole a 2e. piece. He bad felt great pain from the blows ever sines. i The police stated that the prisoner had before been con victed of felony. i Mr. lYEyncourt committed the prisoner. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Fryer, the keeper of No. 48, Leiceetersqusre, a re freshment-house, better known as Kate Hamilton's, was summoned by the police for allowing prostitutes to assemble in his house. Mr. Knox, after hearing the evidence, said he had no diffi culty in deciding that the case had been made out, and io im posing the penalty of 51. and code. Mr. E. Lewis said his client would appeal against the deci sion. He was not certain whether a clue would be applied for in order to take the question to the Queen's Bench, or whether an appeal to the sessions would be decided upon. Mr. Knox would afford every facility for either an appeal or a case to the superior court. JOSINIG Grey, the keeper of a refreshment-house, N 0.6, Pantosotreet, was next summoned for the same offence. Mr. Knox—The fine will be 51. and costa There was a second summons against the same defendant, In which Inspector Draper proved that he visited the house on the following night, and found several prostitutes there. Mr. Knox inflicted a second fine of 51. and costa. John Darla, au ill-looking fellow, who is in the habit of hanging about the Haymarket at night, was charged with stealing a silk umbrella from Mr. Thomas Bamford. of 103, Eburv-stest. Pimlico, and Louisa Lloyd was charted with assaulting the prosecutor. Prosecutor said, between one and two that morning, be was missing the Haymarket, when the male prisooer accreted him. She seined his hand, and fe said, " You villain, I'll make you pay for this!" and thee thrust his thumb into her mouth, and nearly bit it through. He was in great pain, and at the moment felt his umbrella go. In answer to Mr. Knox, prosecutor said he was in liquor at the time. Mr. Knox committed the male prisoner for a month for unlawful possession, and the woman for a month as a dis orderly prostitute. THAMES. Mr. John James Hawkins, of Victoria-cottage, Welling ton-road, Bow, waited upon Mr. Self.% for the purpose of explaining and contradicting the statement of his wife. Victoria Julia Napier Hawkins, made on the previous day. Mr. Hawkins said he had read with great surprise a state. ment to the newspapers that morning of what his wife was represented to have said to his worship. He would contra dict her statements seriatim. The Mexican Bonds, value 10,0001., were his own. His wife obtained them from him by a ruse some time ago, and would not return them. A • last resort, he married her for the purpose of recovering them. Mr. Selfe—Yon entered into the bonds of wedlock for the purpose of obtaining or recovering your Mexican Bonds. Mr. Hawkins—Yes, sir. We were married three months ago, and we went to Prance. On our return to England we hired apartments at a house in Bow, and she soon after. wards formed an improper intimacy with a surgeon's assistant. I expostulated with her, and said it would be her eternal ruin if she did not give up the company of the young gentleman. She was obstinate, and on Monday week last left her home voluntarily, at was now cohabiting with the surgeon. Mr. Self.—lf that be so, you are not bound to maintain her. Her object is oomiog before me yesterday was to ascertain how she could compel you to support her—so I understood. Mr. Hawkins—She said she was only V years of age, but she is 31. Mr. Hawkins went on to say that he mar ried his wife without any fortune; that his conduct to- wards her was kind and considerate, and that instead of taking bar watch and chain from her, be allowed her to take them out of the house with her. Mr. Williams, the landlady of Victoria-cottage, emphati cally denied that she bad used "disgraceful language" to Mrs. Hawkins, or that her husband threatened her and put his flat in her face. Mr. Selfe said it was very inconvenient to be hearing ex rte statements, but the lady who appeared before him on T hursday related such a plausible tale, and made it appear that she was so deeply wronged, that be was induced to give directions to an of6oer to make ioquiries. The state men.a of the two parties would go for what they were respectively worth, and he Lad now done with the case. Mr. Hawkins and his landlady then retired. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

There is no change in prices for other markets, but the de. mend is slow. There have been some offers made for yarna suited to the home trade, but at prior rather lower than spinners are waling to accept. We hear of myna ruills having commenced running again at Rochdale, and similar accounts have reached us from moat of the cotton districts, and this hes rather a tendency to deliver prima. Since Tuesday we bare had letters from Calcutta to the 22nd of October, and telegrams from Born. bay to the 12th instant. They give rather a gloomy amount of both markets. Bombay shirting' had declined 2 to 4 annas (3d. to 6d.) per pia*, with ► flat market. Up to that time, however, they had not received accounts of the falling off which had taken place in ship mate from this country. These advices have had sn un favourable effect upon the market here to-day, both in cloths and yarns, and have tended to weaken prices. There have been some inquiries for cloths for various markets, but buyers were unwilling to give prices asked, and where they have made offers it has generally been at rates too low to meet the views of sellers. What sales have been effected have been in mere driblets. The starting again of a few mills has a depressing influence on the cloth as well as the yarn market.
