The trial of the prisoner Zeivsaki, for committing wilful and corrupt perjury, was rusunod this moaning at 10 V clock. Berjeant Ballantine proceeded to a ddress the jury for the defence. Be commenced by stating that the cane was undoubtedly one of a eery important mid fatraordinali hai actor, and one that would require their most te nons eonaidetatium The didireo• appeared to be that the evidence given by the primmer - was entirely false, and that not only the prosecutor, Mr. Bowman. but the two other persons, Frauckel and Harris, who had pleaded guilty, were entirely uutooset of any crime whatever in idation to the forgery or uttering of forged Russian rouble notes. It was sail that Zeoaski wuu a man of mat infamous character, and that all he had raid was only a tissue of lice from beginning to end. He was wiling to admit that Zebaski was not a man of good eLaracter, but they must recollect the extenuating cir cumstances under which he was employed and the abso lute necessity for making nee of him. It was admitted that the fabrication of forged Russian rouble notes was tarried on to an enormous extent in this country by Herman Jews, and that the empire of thaws was literally inundated with counterfeit paper, and the greatest pos sible amount of mitery and distress was omxisionad to the peasantry and the pourer classes in con requence, and he thought the jury would agree with him that it was the duty of the Russian government toendeavour to put a stop to such a mischievous toune of proceuthog. The guilty parties were moat cun ning and mafty, and they were wed aware, from what took place upon former trials for the offence, of all the oidinary means that.were employed to detect them, and they took every precaution to elude the vigilant* of the Russian government. lie put it to the jury whether it would be of any use to employ an 'English policeman to endeavour to detect the forgets of Russian rouble notes. What good was he likely to do in tie Jews' quarter of Londou, where the enlylanguage that was heard was German or Hebrew h The government of Russia were compelled to em,•sloy mill men as Zehaski. and be should submit to thew that there could be no rea-onable doubt that otr the evidence he had given he had substantially rpcken the truth. The learned counsel then proceeded to simnel the jury that the other two mesh Frankel and llama, had ple►ded guilty to a charge of conspiring with Reesman. the prosecutor in the present case, to circulate Joged tonble notes, and it w►s not likely they would have taken this course if they had not been aware that 7.ebaski, the moist powerful witness against them, was speaking the truth. The learned counsel went on at cousulmable length to comment upon the ad missions made by the prosecutor himself, and to his ad mitted connection with parties who had boon concerned with the lot gel yof Russian Dottie, and argued that under all the circumstances there was nothing to show that Zebaaki had nut spoken the truth in the matter, and that he was conamiueutiy entitled to an acquittal upon the present charge. [The case was proceeding when our report left.! (Before Mr. Justice Styles.) CHARON OF strange James Anderson, 2i, tailor, was indicted for the wilful murder of John Williams on board a British ship. Mr. Poland and Mr. Begley conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Montagu Williams appeared for the defence. The facts in the case were very few. It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased were both seamen on board the British vessel Hatfield Brothers, of Nova Scotia, and that on the 18th of September it was moored in the river Garonne. about forty miles from Bordeaux. waiting for a tug. On the day 111 question, about noon, rime quarrelling was heard in the fore pest of the ship, and on another sailor, named Powers, going forward he found that the prisoner had hold of the deceased man by the whiskers, and that the deemed had hold of theprisoner by the throat. Williams exclaimed "Take the knife; he has cut me," and Powers then saw. to use his own expression, that the two men had their hands " joined upon the knife." the knife was taken from them and thrown overboard, _ . and it appeared on examination that Williams had re ceived a severe injury in the stomach, and that • portion of the entrails were actually hanging out. He was iu • terrible state, and it was at once seen that he had received • mortal wound. He was atUnded to medically, and the vessel having been towed to Bordeaux that night he was taken to the public hospital there, where the captain of the vessel saw him dead on the following morning at 11 o'clock. sifter • preliminary investigation, the prisoner was sent to this country, and when before the magistrate be stated that when he was sitting in his bunk, Williams, who was • more powerful man than himself, come in and assaulted him in a most violent manner ; that he did not know how the knife was used, and that ho was himself cut on the leg. It was quite true that he had received • cut on the leg, that he had a braise on the eye, and that there were marks of blood on his cheek. kreviously he had been • very well behaved man. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, but strongly recommended him to mercy. Judgment was deferred. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) - _IILIMBLAVORTFII RY A_ LUNATIC. . _ . . . lJwin Oabb was indicted fur feloniously killing and slaying Thomas Beech. It appeared that both the men were inmates of !Un well Lunatic Asylum. The deceased spat in the pri soner's face. and the latter thereupon struck him a blow on the stomach and he fell flat on his back and ruptured an artery, which a poet mortem examination showed to Lave been iu a previously diseased state. The jury found that the prisoner was a person of un sound mind and unfit to plead, and he was consequently ordered to be detained in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. THE CASE OF MADAME RACHEL. Mr. H. F. Gibbons made an application to Mr. Kerr, who presided in the fourth court, in reference to the case of Madame Rachel. He said that the Attorney-General had granted his fiat for a writ of error, and he was anxious that the record bliouid be made up in accordance with the facts upon which tin conviction of the prisoner took place. Mr. Commissioner Kerr said he supposed there wan no objection to this. Mr. Avery, the desk of the court, said that what sp j eared lobe required was out of the ordinary course, as it was proposed to have it stated that the trial took place solely before his lordship, with a view to raise the question whether he was legally justified in trying the case. It had always been the prac tice in making up the records in such • case to state the names of all the judges who were present during the session, and every one of the judges who was its the build ieg was reippwed to preside. Mr. (liMe ns raid it was not for him to state the precise question that would be raised upon the argument under lie writ of eror. All he required was that the fact 3 should be rorrrs tly stated, and particularly who was the judicial president at the trial. Mr. Cosomissioner Kerr raid he did not sae any objec tion to a statement being made upon the record that the trial took place before him, and that other judges wore in the building. An order to that effect was accordingly made. POLICE COURTI3.--(TIIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SLIRJULLit CILAJOAN OP NEUOINO.

LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE THE LIVERPOOL CUP AND LINCOLN MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OP TIIR EXPRESS. Slll,—No sooner is one sensation over than another crops up to trouble the turf world, and enliven the coming interregnum, the old panic, to the effect that the Derby will be null and void for two years, and then carried away from Epsom, is revived. It Lino joke sable, for if Mr. Studd obstinately Hands out, and Porsi•t° in the refusal to let at any price his portion of the ground over which the races are run, the two Derbies and Oaks already entered for will have to be declared void. We must act suppose, however, that such • thorough rporteanan as Mr. " Salamander " Studd will be so cruel to mankind as to knock on the bead that grand institution—the Derby-day, insulted as he may be at the committee advertising the race to be run as usual without coming to terms with him. What a pity that he could not quash the last Derby, for then we should have had no Lady Elizabeth and Earl scandal, and the latter would sever have been disgraced by coming under the auctioneer's hammer, as he did en Monday last. Not that he was sold,: "bought in," being the fate of both The Earl and Lis Equerry, who were put up as the property of Lord Ileatarigs ; and similar luck was in store for thirteen of Mr. l'adwick's eighteen. Three of the; five actually sold go into friendly hands, and pro- Lably tho "financier" will only lose control over Athena and Naiveti, the latter of whom is intended for Austria, M. Cavalier° being her puichaser at 1,000 guineas. For racing purposes she is no bargain at this price, as it is questionable whether she would stand another year ; but she will make a fine strapping broo,l mare, and perhaps • better matron than her half-sister Athena, who will, how ever, win many • race for the Achievement and Lord Lyon stable she is now in and would have fetched some thing more than 1,700 guineas had she any goxl four year old engagements. Singularly she was not left in the Liverpool Cup, the acceptances for which have just appeared, whilst Naivete was, and also Equerry, a gentleman that may win a good handicap some day, if not this year. The Earl looked fresh and well, and, despite Lir " suspicious" leg, will be handy to pre vent Blue Gown walking away with next year's Caps. All J. Days own string of seven changed hands— poor Logarithm, who had the honour of leafing Lady Elizabeth in her " work " for the Derby, going for 16 guineas, and her ladyship's brother, Diatin, for 125 guineas only, though had she won the Denby the trumpeter's blood would have been daeovered invaluable for stud purposes, no doubt. Athena is about the only animal of any note not' among the forty-seven lett in the Liverpool Cup, and the &c -al tames are extraordinarily good, considering the mount of grumbling the handicap gave rise to, and that twelve Dom were saved by owners declaring forfeit if they did not intend to run. Auguste, Beesw.ng, Indigestion, Nemia, Kidderminster., Birdseeker, Planet, and others certainly looked tempting; but they were just as well out of the hunt, and the talent have evidently made up their minds to stand the good horses, no matter how heavily weighted. Mr. Pryor has left in all his four— Frip unier, Knight Errant, Friday, and Griinstom and the letter looks We coining • rattling favourite, for it is enlyable, hum the market operations, the others are only lett in to assist in getting the money on, albeit ho might want his man Friday to assist him in the race. I cannot see what is to heat him of the heavy weights, great as is my respect for Knight of the Garter as a racehorse ; and un less the Fairwind r -Deceit,-Bandmaster confederacy have a rod in pickle, the Brothers Dawson may supply the winner in Grimston, Lady Coventry, or the best of Mr. Johnstone's. Further I will not observe for the present, as it is n to watch the movements concerning Paul Jones and The Palmer before giving an opinion abet them and Orion has another engagement to fulfil, or for feit, before the current week is over. He would not have the Worcester Handicap, which Vortigern easily won from both the favourites, incurring • penalty of 1316 that will stop him at Liverpool; but the Lincoln Autumn Handicap (Thursday) is a more valuable stake, and he may be waiting for that. Fairwind, Lady Coventry, and The Spy, the beet looking of the others, are Liverpool horses &ire ; but The Spy ought to perform when he has such • good chance of winning and in giving the victory to him let me have Three per Cent. as • " place " ally. lu the Johnstone Plate scramble Fragrance is bound to run forward ; and per tsa old Professor Anderson can do the trick for the Burton Handicap. The squire of Blank ney and his confederates have a host in the Blankuey Stakes, and may stand by Ventnor. If so, they will just about land, having most to fear from the Crueifizion filly and Dryad. Fragrance has another capital chance for the Aveland Nursery, though she will find a difficulty in getting over the Chaplin stable, if not Bonnie Katie ; but both this event and the Hainton Stakes are subject to previous running. —I am, ke., METEOR.
