4. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. REVIEW OF THE DERBY LOTS. THE FRONT RANK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS. Sitt,—Having in my last, when dealing with the " sti.gglers," paid all due attention to the claims of the most prominent members of the " dark" division, it only remains for me now to review the pretensions of those that have woo their way to the front rank ; and of this body J. Day's lot is entitled to precedence, not only because it is so numerous, but also front the fact of its containing the ab solute " tirst favourite" at this writing. Rustic and Jack in-the-Green represent the Duke of Beaufort, and King Hal and Blue Baband the Marquis of Hastings, the gentlemen being the great supporters of the stable ; and it cannot be doubted that with such an array the Dumber,. party Is fully qualified to challenge any other. Even in the event of an accident to the sheet anchor, they have more to fall back upon than would any other stable in the same dilemma ; for if we are really to believe Blue Riband was not quite " wound up" when he ran the deed Mot with Mr. Pitt at York, there cannot be much difference between him and the best of his year. But ever since Rustic has been under J. Day's care he has given every satisfaction, and done his work so well that no fears are entertained about "getting him well to the post ;" so that, as he M • much better performer than the Marquis's purchase, there is little chance of his oppo nent', seeing him "shunt" in favour of any thing else trained at Danebury. As is the case with his whilom stable companion, Lord Lyon, the greatest objection that can be advanced against Ru stic is on account of his dam, Village Lass, before she threw this magnificent colt to Stockwell, Leine favoured us with nothing better than the most wretched platers. King Hal never looked like stindingsevere work ; and Jack.in•the•Green's Derby chance will probably be spoiled by his undergoing a thorough preparation for the Two Thousand, in which race he is in every way qualified to shine. In fact, if he cannot tell them at home, after the great Newmarket race is decided, what Rustic and Blue Riband are capable of doing with the Student, Lord Lyon, and Janitor. I shall be very much mistaken. W. Day must give in to John when he could produce no better two year olds than Cranford (the Mies Lavinia colt), the Doralice colt, and the Rather High colt, only the latter having the semblauce of • prospect of distinguishing himself in the hint for the blue riband, and that more on account of his good looks than performance ; and William's neighbour, Woolcot, with nothing better than Laughem and Kir:g Christian. must also e before the same s• ; wLiist the best of H. Goatee's (Abergeldie and Mephisto pheles. perhaps, bad performers as they are) will have to devote their attention to handicaps. Larcb,,urne and Ilsley were never better represented in the Derby, the natives scarcely dreaming of the prize going to any other quarter. Touts have for months been lis.eg on Lord Lent, with whom Dover has certainly done great things for Mr. Sutton, as when he did Bing the horse out there was no mistake about him, and the 3,560/. he won by his three races at Doncaster and Newmarket, in the space of six weeks, paid for all the anxiety he had caused. The moot point is whether he will arty, his dam, Parad.gui, having thrown three colts by Kingston—Man• et -Arms. Kingoit-Arms, and Blue Riband—that were all as "soft" as Gcrdevisure (by Vedette) sod nothing else worth io,otioniug beyond Rouge Dragon (by Win , "ioutd), one of those doubtful gentlemen, good at nothing but being reside a favourite without deserving it. The case looks black against him undoubtedly, but the evidence is not quite fatal. there being no cogent reasons why Stockwell should hit tea badly with Paradigm as Kingston and Vedette did, arid those who saw Lord Lyon perform last sc mon discovered nothing to raise their doubts about his ability to stay. Should he fail in this particular quality it wi't be all over with Mr. Sutton's colours, which Split the Diffe rence (inferior both to Mr. Merry's and the Danebury second string-) is not good enough to carry, sod all the hopes of hairy will go with them. However, Ido not fear such a catastrophe, it being only for Lord Lyon to get well through the Two Thousand for him to have my suft 'ages at Epson!, es, to perform this feat, he will have to meet (perhaps) one of the very great guns of the year in Tue Student, the pride and hope, riot only of Russley -park, but of all Lambounie. M. Dawson has others of Mr. Merry's to take care of, soil a very use ful pa'r in the Primate and Beelzebub; but in ear em counter where Lard Lyon has to bo met it met teat with the Student to early the yellow jraket successfu'iy, the Primate having been easily beaten by We lordship in all three of hie races. Exception is taken to the ritudtrit'a staying certificate because lie ran so much hotter over the thau over the three-quarters at Newmarket in ▪ sly. When he won his two races at Goodwood, however, he compass.! a full six furlongs, and tio'sheil in a style that set at rest all doubts as to his ability to rover the longest T.Y.C. be might have been put to at two years old. There is more to fear from the natural .delicacy f the colt, who was amiss last autumn as well as in the spring, sod thus lost the opportunity of estimating whether lie was the equal of Lord Lyon ' to whom he left the Troy Stakes at Newmar ket after proceeding to the scene of operations ostensibly to "have a cut at aim." A finer colt, or a incite ilen:eetly shaped one, it is not often thelot of the critics to see, and it "meld be a pity indeed if the chapter of accidents should deprive us of the pleasure of seeing the Student stripped in the paddock OD the Derby day. With Matthew Dawson'a beautiful polish on him, Le could proudly take his stand beside Lord Lyon, Rustic. or Janitor ; and there would be such a rush to "get out," on the part of those who seem habitually to take Pberties with Mr. Merry's Derby favourites, as might rause !.its to start at as short • pries as Duedee dal in Isla. But Millet the Rudest or Lord Lyon—perhaps both—will lose cast after the Two Thousand is decided, and till then it is dithcult in the extreme to make a choice between the two horses. Sir Joseph llawley's lot is not a threatening one, del its the heavy het he has with Mr. Merry as to which cabinet the twowill win a Derby first ; in truth, form what I saw of the horse at Newmarket last J ely. Porter will be very clever iudeed if he can send Wolsev, the hope of the cherry jacket, to Epsom sufficiently wound up to oppose the flower of this season's three-year-olds. Lord St. Vincent's general ill-success on the turf does not prevent his haeilig a good horse now and then ; and since sending Reden and others to Royston, to join Mr. Boyar", string trained privately by Purr, hopes have been indulged in of his lending soother-1 was gene; to write another Derby, but his lordship was act so fortuuate as to quite secure the blue filmed by the aid of Lord Clifilee. Reda° has that cut-cod come-again Ic ik about biro that di vests his admirers of all fear, as to Llesttmdiug the prparatioo, or getting over the Epsom mite and a half ;arid yet it struck me he did not like the hill when he ran for the Woodeote, • first and last performances, at Chester and Doncaster, on flat courses being so decidedly superior as to reoder it possible he will ran worse at Epson[ this year than at other places. His running away front Chibisa at Stamford (a fiat course). after succumbing to him at Ascot when attempting to concede sib ouly, will favour this impression ; but, under any eh ,:censtatices. it is not rersonable t expect him ever to get so hear Lord Lion as he did in the Champagne (vocal. daring toe great improvement the latter showed vubse 9uently), , uppoiing toe two to be equally gifted with stay ing powers, aud I am likewise of opinion that Janitor will beat him again whenever they meet on even terms. Alex. Taylor's colt by Stockwell out of Bribery was once one of the great fancies for the Derby, and we were led to expeA a few weeks ago that he would turn out as well us did big brother St. Albans; however, the letnit reports from Fyfield have been so adverse to him that he is DO leliger is the front rank of favouriteo, and it will not surprise me to see him some day among " the stra ;glerv." The coming under this denomination, noticed in my last, might bare been considerably swelled had all that are d - cited to have good l• outside chalices been noticed. For instance, lirewitt is reputed to have three good " dailies." in Mr. Henry's Apeley and SThoolboy and Mr. Spencer's Grevfout, at Lewes ; Wadlow is believed by a few to be ee,eally fortuoate with regard to Mr. Ilarenc's Argyll; Lord Stamford is said to presets a better horse than either Chihira or Esca in the dark Peer • and there is something about the looks cf Mr. T. Purr 's LCchiel. C Hanilley'a Custaloge, Mr. F. Fisher's Magician, Mr. Partner's Nutri• tion, Mr. Brown's Harefiold, and Lord Westmoreland's Crown I'rince (all trained in " unfashionable" stables, ex cept the last named), that augur we shall see them in • much better light this year than last. But I must confess to knowing little concerning these that should cake them feared for the Derby ; and a partiality toward s Apeley (who is by Arthur Welesley out of Pelle • dem), Crown Prince, and Magician will not allow of my yet entertain ing their pretensions for anything the other side of the Two Thoosand, Still Rica has shown some merit, and always looked so like improving and staying that if the Peer (by Newmiester out of the celebrated Fisherman's dam) redly iv, or should train into, the superior horse of the two, the Euviille blue must not be despised. These •' ifs, - however, are scarcely worth pondering over on this occasion ; for let all them we did not see in their true colours last season improve Si they may, and the ",dark" division produce ever so many flyers, Lord Lyen, Rustic, and. Student (all well) will shine the bright particular stars of the Derby when they walk down to the start ; and even should the whole trio come to grief before the day a formidable front will still be presented by Janitor, Blue Riband, Slid Roden. This L the rich lot that must be looked to, supposing Auguste to be no Gladiatenr, for the winner of the richest of Derbies (it will be w0rthi7,3751., with theisme number of starters as last year) ; and in selecting Lord Lyon as the beet of the first division, and Janitor as the best of the second, I must for the present claim the pair as my representatives, both having shown an adaptability to the „ fatal bill" that others may be foiled to lack, whilst in Lord Lyon lam assisted by a performer than whom there was nothing superior, if we saw his equal, all last year.—l am, &a, METEOR.

PORTSMOUTH, Jas. 2L An emigrant ship, bound from Hamburg to Australia with German emigrants, put into St. Helen's some time ago through stress of weather, and we regret to lurn that a serious outbreak of small-pox hu occurred on board. The fact was this morning communicated to the Oommander-in-Chief o and the Sprightly afterwards steamed out to the vessel, having on board a surgcou from the Vic tory. Haying ascertained the condition of the ship, the medical officer made a report to the authorities, and this afternoon the Sprightly embarked Rear-Admiral George Greville Wellesley, C. 8., Mr. Chadock (mrster rhips.ight), Dr. Cree (of Portsmouth Dockyard), and others, who pro ceeded to the Menelaus, on quarantine service at the Motherbank, to make arrangements, we understand, for the reception of the emigrants, and to decide what alter ations may be necessary for their accommodation. The emigrant ship is anchored three or four miles away from the port, and th's fact, together with the precautions whirls have been Wren by the authorities, will prevent any danger arising from communication with the shore. THE LOSS OF THE LONDON.—It appears that the Rev. Dr. John Woolley, D.D., who was unfortunately lost in the wreck of the above ship, has been erroneously de scribed es the Bishop of Sydney. Dr. Woolley ars princi. pal of the Sydney University College, of which institution he had been an active promoter for several years, and it is understood his recent visit to England was in connection a :th the furtherance of the objects of the university. He has left • family of grown up daughters in Sydney, to lament their sad bereavement. The Rev. Dr. Barker is the Bishop of Sydney, and metropolitan of the colony. There were two accidental omissions in the list of those who foundered with the ship. The first was that of Henry Grant, a young midshipman, on his first voyage. In the dreriful interval just before the vessel foundered, when the cotter was got afloat, Captaiu Martin desired that t nth the utiddies might be got into her. One of them jumped into the boat, but Grant could not, at the instant, be found, and he went down with the ship. The second omission was that of William Hayward, assistant to the purser, who, although rated with the crew, bad not signed the ship's Reticle.. Among those who perished in the London was Mr. John Hickman, a brother of Mr. William Hickman, a solicitor of te eithaurpton, and Mrs. Trail, a sister of Mr. George Dunlop, the Southampton shipping agent. FATAL INCIDENT AT SEA.—A singular and fatal occurrence happened off Dover on Saturday lest. A Sun derland barque, named the Beautiful Star (Captain Can.), strived on Thursday afternoon in Dover Read', from Alex audrie, laden with cotton seed for the oil mills at Dover. They report having experienced terrific weather on the passage, but the barque had sustained no damege. On Friday the captain went ashore on business, there being in sufficient water at that time of tide far the vessel to enter the harbour ; and he was delayed ashore until the evening, when the sea was too boisterous for him to put back to the ship. At 2 a.m. on Saturday, during a heavy gale, the barque parted her moorings three-quarters of a wile off the pole. Anchor was cost, but it would not bold, and the vessel drifted ashore and ran the chance of being wrecked. The mate signalled for assistance, and a Dover tug came. The tug was sent back for the captain of the barque, but on returning the sea was too rough for the captain to get on board Lis vessel. Whilst the carpenter and three others of the bazque's crew were shackling another anchor, one having clipped, a heavy sea struck the ship's bows 1 and waalie, the four men amidships, and the carpenter over- ' bored. A boat was lowered, and io it jumped the mate Walker) and a sailor (James Freeth), to rescue the drowning man ; but the sea dashed the boat against the ship-side, stoveitin, hiofffilled it with water, and pl- .ed the other two io peril of their lives. Life buoys were tb own to the carpenter (whose name was Clark, belonging to Ply mouth), but he did not succeed in reaching them, and was drowned. The boat was washed away from the barque. Freeth took the lee oar, and Walker bailed out with his boots, and endeavoured to get back to the barque, but with out acct - a, and they were washed towartla the shore. For two hou-i they sttu g gled for lite in Biel- disabled craft, calling without avail for assistance, when they were, at about seven a.m., washed ashore upon the bank between the Marine Poende and Lest Chtf ; the poor fe"ows being then so exhausted that they lay in the water without power to save themselves. Happily, at this moment of their peril, they were seen by a man named Potter, and a coastguards man named Wakeford, who picked them up in • state of semi-COOeeintiatiess, and removed them to the Dover Sailors Home, where they were provided with dry clothing, and every reiuisite for their comfort. The barque got away to the Dowus, and was thus saved from running ashore. Lauei . ii or A LARGE STEAMER AT BIRKENHEAD. —Oo Stturday there was launched from the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Laird Brothers, Birkenhead, a splendid paddle steamer of 1,000 tons, named the Guayra, for the coasting trails of the Brazils. This vessel will be fitted up with oscillating engines of 250 horse power, constructed by the builders. She will have cabin accommodation for 70or 80 pass.uigars. Her cabin, which is very spacious, is con structed under a light spar deck, and will be fitted up with Large ports and Bhutto, and other necessaries requisite for the comfort of piumeogers in a hot climate. It AMWA' COMPANIES AND TIIEIR EMPLOYF.s. OD Satuiday evening • numerously attended meeting of railway guards, signalmen, and switchmen was held at St. Stephen's schoolrooms, Westbonrne.road, Paddington. Mr. Irvin, who was in the chair, said the present meeting had beep called to r,ceive certain suggestions from Mr. Cookson for a new set of rules by which the guards, sigual and switchmen on all the railways in the United Kingdom would be united into one society ; and also to consider the preterit posi:ion of tbeie movement for a redress of , grievances. Mr. Cookson then brought for ward a set of ' rule, for the management of asociety to be called " the Railway Guards, Sigualruen, and Switchmen's Society of the United Kmgdom." One of the rules provided for the pat went of WO/. to the family of any member who lost his life while •n the performance of his duty. , The rules underwent considerable discussion, and ultimately the subject was e ljonraed for further consideration. The secretary of the Signalmen and Switchmen's Society then reported that ou the 2'Jth of Deceinter the memorials Iron_ the men for the redress of grievances had been sent into the traffic nianamrs on the various lines, with a request that they might ho laid at the earliest opportunity before the different boards of directota. These memorials asked for a reduction of the hems of labour to eight per day, instead of as now fruit 12 to 18, the latter number being quite cemnion on the St uJay, and that the standard rate of wages should be 30s. per week for junction men, and 265. per week for straight road rues, and set forth in temperate lan guage the reasons for the above requests being made. Replies had been received from most of the boards of directors of the leading railways, through the traffic managers. and they were nearly all to the effect that they declined to act upon or recognize any memorirl emanating from a society, but that they were, and always had been, willing to entertain the complaints made by thir- own men, either as a body, or any section thereof. In consequence of this reply it bad been determined that fresh memo rials should be sent in to every board of directors, signed by the men in their respective employs only, and which would test the sineerity of the board. He, however, might add, that on three of the leading metropolitan lines a greet number of the men had, since the present move ment had been started, received advanceeof wages from Is. to 3a per week—a gigs that the agitation bad borne some fruit. (Loud cheers.) They were now awaiting the replies to t he second memorial. METROPOLITAN TYPOGRAPHICAL WIDOW AND ORPHAN FOND.—The sixteenth annual meeting of this so ciety was bald at Andertoa's Hotel, Fleet-street, on Satur day • Mr. John Nichols, jun.. io the chair. The report. which was adopted, stated that the financial position of the society hail been very prosperous during the past year, 130'. having been added to the invested fund, while 166/. remained in the Farringdon Savings Bank. There had teen 12 deaths of members during the year, whose united ages averaged 55 years, ranging from 33 to 72 years. The total number of deaths since the formation of the society had been 256, giving the annual average of 16. During the year 32 ono-members had been enrolled, which, after deducting the loss by death, leaves the present Dumber of inembers on the books 676, The financial shtemeat shows the receipts of the past year to be 5001. 13s. 20., from which 240/. had been paid to the representatives of twelve deceased members. The total receipts have been 8.3041. 9a. 80., and the total expeodi• ture has been 5,380/. 15A. 90. to representatives of 256 deceased members, and 6001. 7s. 74d. for the expenses of management, leaving now invested as reserve capital the sum of 2,3231. 6s. 4d., after payment of all claims. The report concluded with an earnest appeal from the committee to the members of the trade to enrol themselves as mambas.

LING r. LING AND PRIOR. Dr. Spioke appeared for the petitioner, an engine driver at Yarmouth, who bad married the respondent some years silo. After the birth of three children the petitioner went to India, and during his absence the respondent had two others. There was, however, no e‘:denoe against Prior. Decree nisi. HILL V. HILL. Mr. B. Rigby, for the petitioner. He was a stonemason, at Southampton. He married the respondent in 1858, and after some years cohabitation he was obliged to leave her on account of her profligate habits. Decree nisi. s " HYDE V. HYDE AND . WOODSIANSEE.-NOTHIONS AND THEIR DISHEIA.E.S. Dr. Spinke for the petitioner. The circumstances in this case were of • very novel cha racter. In 1847 the husband, who was then a lad of fifteen or sixteen, riopted the tenets of Mormonism, and he was I afterwards ordained a priest of the sect. In 1&51 he was sent on a mission to France, and afterwards he went to Salt Lake City. Before this he had become engaged to • Miss Lavinia Hawkins, who, with her mother, had preceded him to Utah. In January, 1853, he was married to her by asigham Young, who ultimately sent him on • mission to the Sandwich Islands. Here the young man was reconverted to Christianity. and be wrote to his wife, begging her to leave the Mormon territory, and come to him. This she refused to do ; and two of her letters were read in court. In one of them she rid, " I feel mieerable that you should be trying to put down Mot ' MODiIIII. How strange it is that after your telling me of the corruption that existed at San Francisco, New Orleans. and other American cities, you should give up everything and wish to settle amongst such people' I aid toil to bring up my little son by myself rather than return to what you yourself have called 'accursed civilisa tion.' . . . . Plurality [i.c., of wives] with al' its abuses is better than the licentiousness which you say has such fearful sway that there is hardly • virtuous woman in California ... My faith in Mormonism is stronger than ever... Your own i course is marked with that darkness which you used to say feU upon all that left this people. Are you happier now than when you were • Mormon? 1 have tried to thick 1 Mormonism false, and to be convinced by your reasoning, but the evidence in its favour is too strong." In the other letter she spoke of the death of her last remaining child ; she had had two, but one had died before her husband had departed on his mission; and she said, " I want family tics. I want to have little arms twining around my neck, red to hear soft voices lisp ' Mamma,' and try to say ' Papa.' . . . . You also are not fitted for • solitary life. If you are convinced of the falsehood of Mormonism, tstre smother wife—one that will be to you what I have i tried to be." In I'sB the petitioner returned to England, and on bearing that the respondent had married the co-respondent Woodmansee, he had filed his petition for a divorce. On these facts Dr. Spinks contended that the court had power to dissolve the marriage. Being the first that either party bad contracted it was not • polygamous connection, but was a marriage that would be recognised in a Christiau country. He called— Mr. Iredk. l'iercy, of Holloway, an artist who had mar ried the elder sister of Lavinia Hawkins in 1849, and who admitted, though with some reluctance, that he had in early life been himself • Mormon. In the year 1653 he went on • sketching expedition to America, and spent three weeks at Salt Lake City, where the petitioneee arrival, in order to be married, was daily expected by the respondent and her mother. Witness, in fact, met him as he was returning from Utah. In 1857 witness read an account io the Thera News of the peti tioner's divorce and excommunication by the vice-president of the Mormon community, who, in • public discourse, said the petitioner should not lecture with impunity. Felt so alarmed for the personal safety of his brother-in-law that witness inserted au advertisement in the Times informing him of his divorce, and warning him of his danger. Witness added— I sun perfectly acquainted with the con stitution cf the Mormon body. It is ruled abso lutely by Brigham Young and his two councillors. There are also twelve "apostles," and numerous inferior officers ; but Brigham Young and his councillors snub the "apostles like menials. (A laugh.) It is usual for Brigham Young and his councillors to celebrate marriages between important members of hie dock. I was never present myself at a Mormon marriage, for even when I was amongst them I doubted their right to marry people, and I would not submit to it. Polygamy was at first repudiated by the Mom woes, and it only became known to the Euro pean members of the body through the reports of travellers. No doubt it is now practised. When I was in Utah I was introduced to ns many as seven or eight wives at once. (A laugh.) Mr. Hyde is now the editor of an important country newspaper, and be is also the minister of a dissenting congregation. Mrs. Hawkins, who visited me last year, spoke to me about Lavinia 's second marriage. 1 have also had letters from the respondent herself in whist she has referred to it, and to the children she has had by the co.tespondent. She did not, howeve', speak of her second husband, and I observed that she only signed her name " Lavinia W." She spoke as if aim con- , 'Wined that she hal a perfect right to marry again. I believe that she is totally incapable of acting contrary to her conscience, and that her marriage with Woodmansee has been purely a matterof religious conviction. I am quite certain that the petitioner never had more than one wife, though poly gamy is common enough in Utah 'amongst those who can afford it. The rule is for evety one but Brigham Young to keep as many wives as Le can support ; but Brigham Young has publicly announced that be will take no more unless they can support themselves. (Laughter.) I have seen as many as four wives occupy a room not longer than that table, each having her bed only separated frem the rest by a curtaiu. It is commonly reported that Mormon women who are unfaithful to their husbands tire put to death, and that men have been shot for engaging in ciiminal in trigues with other people's wives. Except in the matter of polygamy, the Hormone are great sticklers for morality, and they don't like to lose their wives any more than other Men. Mrs. Hawkins' deposition, proving the second marriage and the adulterous cohabitation, having been read, Mr. Silas Martin Fisher, a counsellor of the Supreme Court of the United States, was called es an expert in the law of Utah, hat lie stated that the Supreme Court had no appellate jurisdiction in causes matrimonial over the Mormon territory. The American courts would, however, recognise a marriage in Utah when •neitker party was already married, but they would not acknowledge any polygamous union. Sir J. Wilde said he would take time to consider his decision. It would, however, be extraordinary if a connec tion which was essentially a polygamous one, and one that would have allowed the husband to take other wives, should be made the subject of a decree in a Christian country. The fundamental idea of marriage, such as Christendom re2ogoised it, was that the parties should cleave to each other to the exclusion of any one else ; and it seemed to him very doubtful whether the cuatrimoni d contract, as Christianity understood it, had been entered into by the petitioner at all. on the side of the faoe, on the cheek-bone. It was a violent cuff. He tuned to get out of the way, and as he did so the defendant struck him with his open band on the back of the bead. The blow was given with such force that he fell on his hied and cute piece oat. The mdf dheoloured his face. He got up, left the yard, went home n sad almost immediately afterwards went to the pollorstatton and made a report of the case. The acting inspector mat • oesstable with him to the Cloak, at Millbury, sad be (whales) saw the del cadent standing there, and at on pointed him out as the man who had struck him. The defendant said, " You will find it is not me but another men that struck you." Mr. Beard addressed the court for the defense, and con tended that the case was not made out. He should be able to show that the complainant was the worm for liquor when this allowed assault took plane, and se for the de fendant having • lamp and putting it is his face, the defendant did not have one that night. He did nott i nj that the complainant's hand was cut, bat that was tu his falling when mideavounag to lift the drunken women. The Magistrate said that, after dimmerionately considering the evidence, be had come to the conclusion that the defendant had been guilty of this sessult. He should order the defendant to pay • fine of 40s. and the meta, or, in default, to be imprisoned for fourteen days: The — llefendani—l should like to appeal. The Magistrate—There is no appal. This is a 'mammy conviction, and you cannot appiaL The money was paid. _ _ WORSHIP-STREET. _ • Caroline Francis, about 40 years of aim and meacaline in appesranoe, was brought before Mr, Moon on a warrant charging her with having threatenedtomurder her husband, a commercial traveller. _ _ _ _ Mr. Beard said that this was one of those deplorable eases which unfortunately it was compulsory to bring into a court of justice. His client had been in a most respectable position of life, but, from a period commencing nearly 20 years SWOP, had been on the brink of ruin and destruction nest on his wife's habits of intoxication, during which s made away with hie property and damaged his reputation. Mr. Edward Gilbert, landlord of the Lord Nelson public- house, Mile-end-road, swore to having heard defendant threaten to murder her husband, and to part with him until she had his life. This was on the 19th of last December, bat such threats were frequent. This evidence was corroborated, and the husband swore that his life was at stake if she were not restrained. She had taken up knives and tried to stab him ; he but begged that she might be bound over to keep the peace. Bull, the warrant officer, mentioned that be had been he almost continual search of the wife, and mot with her at last accidentally in Tottenham. B'. Ellison ordered her to find bail in GO/. to keep the peace for six months. Defendant—l shall never find it, and I shall come out alive. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE AND THE HOUSELRSS POOR. In January, 1864, the Poor-law Board issued a circular recommending the guardians in the metropolitan districts to enure the services of the police force, which the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police was williog to render available for the purpose. The following letter is now published aa sho p w e ini u that the result of the adoption of this system in the Po union confirms the opinion of the board as to its 'racy: Poplar Usion, High-street, Poplar, Jan. 4. Slr,—As the police have now been appointed assistant relieving officers for upwards of one month, I am sure you will be pleased to receive a return of the numbers of vag rants admitted before the employment of the police and afterwards. I hive, therefore, prepared a return of those persons for the month' of November and December last. The police arrangements commenced on the let December, 1865. It is certain we have got rid of a great many of the idle young men and lads whom we used to bare, la the police Sr. well acquainted with those who are constantly loitering about the streets, and such persons will not apply to the polio.. One instance was communicated to me by Inspector Bear of a lad whom he knew as living with his parents in Poplar, who used occasionally to present himself at the ward late at night, but on his so doing while the police were acting he was taken to his father's home by a constable, and now, finding the ward not allowed to him, has not been since seen idling about. So far, no harm has happened to that boy. I have no doubt many similar cases could be found. I feel sure that if the whole of the metro- politan unions could be induced to employ the police they would be well satisfied with the result, and the whole sub• ject would be better reansged.—Your of edient servant, (signed) Jas. R. CoLuss.—H. B. Parnell, Esq., C. 8., Poor•law Inspector. Return of boueeleu poor admitted to the Poplar union during the month of November, 1865, before the police were employed as assistant relieving officers, and during the month t f Dec.,1865, after they were so employed:—No- vember, 1865—Number of men admitted, 1,251 ; women, 434; children, rat; ; ages of men under 25, 515 ; eges of men above 25, 7 , 36 ; occupation as 6:ven, labourers, 1,180 others, 71 ; whether regular wayfarer. or not—three-fourthe not; number of cases of tearing up clothing, 28 cona:cted. Decemb sr, 1865—Number of men admitted, 476; women, 84 ; children, 20 ; ages of men under 25, 148 ; above 25, 328 ; occupation es given, labourers, 440 ; other., 36 ; whether regular wayfarers or not—yes; number of cases of tearing up clothing, 1 convicted. N.B.—lt will be seen from the above that there is a de crtase of houaeleu E nor relieved in the month of Decem ter, as compared with the number relieved in the preen ing month, of 1,211 persons, or 68.1 per cent. H. B. F. It is further pro; ow 3 to employ the police in the duties of inspction of the casual wards. Mr. 'Villiers writes to Sir Richard Mayne : Poor-law Board, Whitehall, Jan. 18.

The board are of opinion that the requi-ed inspection of the wards and places referred to would be most satisfac torily conducted by the officers of police, end they request to be informed whether you would be williog to went to those officers being appointed to undertake the duty. The number of the wards within the district of the Metropolitan Pul•ce is 33.—1 air, sir, your obedient servant, C. P.

THE CASUAL AND REG cLAR WORKHOUSE WARDS. —An '-iquiry was held on Satv-day at the Marylebone Workhouse by Dr. Lankester, touching the death of George Gay, an old man who had been an inmate of the house for several yearn. The deceased went to bed in the able.bc Lod we'd between 0 and 7 o'clock on Wednes day evening, and was taken very iq in the middle of the night. There was no light in the room, and hence the other paupers could render him lit tle or no assistance. He wu found dead in the bed the next moruiug. Inc coroner said there ought to be a gas-lamp io the ward at night, be cause the healthiest man might be taken suddenly ill. The jury expressed an unanimous opinion that lights ought to be provided at night. The muter of the work house (Mr. Douglas) said the ward io question was lighted to some extent by a lamp outside the room. The inmatrs corlcroot be trusted with a light, as tue moment the officers' backs were turned the yaurers world light their pipes. A Juror : But do you search them for matches?—The master said no man who came in at night was searched. Lamps were placed in all the sick wards, but there was an order of the Poor-law Board that all lamps in the able-bodied ward must be put out at nine o'clock. The coroner said he was not aura that was a wise provision. The jury returned a verdict of " Died froni natural causes." The coroner and jury inspected the "casual" ward of the workhouse, and Dr. Lankester remarked that, as its ores was 7,000 cubic feet, and when full—as it was every night—was occupied by twenty-five persons, each inmate had a very small quantity of air. SHOCKING DEATH OF A WOMAN FROM INTEM PER., NCE.—On Saturday Mr. liumpl.resa, coroner for Mid dieser, held an iuqe;ry at the Th^ee Colts Tavei3, Beth nal-green, relative to the death of a married woman, named F''zal ith Mc He, aged 43. Tholues Mcare, 3, Newport street, Bethue l - 6 .eem slid that he was a butcher, and the dceeiuied was his wife. She used not only to drink all the proceeds of his e;•-iiings, but used to sell the feathers out of the bed to get more hquor. She always craved fur gin and ale, end she ate little or no food. She had been in bad heelth for the last fortnight, and died on Tuesday. Mr. Shaw, surgeon, acid that nearly all the organs of the deceased's body were diseased, apparently from dank. There were no traces of food in the at:mach. Tire Mune &its cause of death was fatty degeneration of the heart, no doubt brought on by her intemperate habits. The Coroner having summed up, the jury ran. oed a verdict of " Death from disease of the heart, accelerated by the excessive use of ardent spirits." MORE SUNDAY EVENINGS FOR THE PEOPLE. LAMBETH BATHS.—Stimulated by the great success which hes attended the " Sunday Evenings for the People," pro. tooted by the National Sunday League and its friends, at St. Minnie Hall, cud which aro now taking place, a series of " Evenings" have been staried at the Lambeth Bathe, under the auspices of the Surrey Chapel Mission, and the management of the Rev. Newman Hall, Mr. U. M. Murphy, and some other gentlemen. The first of the series took place last Liming, and was attended by about 1,500 persons, chiefly belonging to the working classes. The chair was taken by the Rev. Newman Ball, shortly after eight o'clock, who gave a brief explanation of the onject of the " Evenings," which was to enable working men to speak their experiences of the blessings cf religion and temperance, which were closely allied, and to promote the twofold cause. The chief novelty of last night was that the as sembly was chiefly addressed by " navvies," whose obser vations were generally very correct and appropriate, and appeared to meet with the approval of those present. Dui :ug the evening several pieces of sacred inriic and hymns were sung by the company. FlRES.—Yesterday morning at an early hour a Ere of a very alarming character took place in Christ Church, tlighbury. The disaster was caused by the over heating of the furnace-Bus.

Manufacturers are most of them well engaged, almost the only complaint of slackneri being in connexion with the fancy trades. The reduction in the price of copper ham already hod the eff:ot of judos ing merch►nts to give out orders which 111.1 been withheld since the advance in December ; most of the metal trades have participated in this respect. The edge-tool make's report that business continues quiet in that branch, but the hollow-ware manufacturers, tinplate workers, gasfittcrs, brassfouoders, electroplaters, are all of them well sup plied with orders. In the iron wire trade only a moderate amount of business is being done. In the foreign depart. meat some degree of quietude still prevails.

COTTON GOODS. Mescussrn, JAic. 20.—The meTket for cotton yarns and cloth was exceedingly dull during the first two or three days of the week, and pikes continue to give way. A reaction set in about Thursday, and a large business has since been done, especially in yarns for shipping purposes. Counts and qualities suitable for India and Germany, and also for Glasgow. have gone off well, and some contracts, extending into April and May, for delivery have been placed at very full prices. The advance asked yesterday and to•day is 4d. to 4d. per lb., which is about equ►l to the decline up to Tuesday. Twist sod pin. cops for the borne trade are also better to sell, though there has not been a large business, and any marked advance of prices checks business. In cloth a very considerable holi ness has been done during the last few days, including a fair amount of business in the better classes of shir , *igs for China. Manufacturers have been put under contracts, and have advancad their quotations. There is less doin in printing cloths, T cloths, and domestics, though the demand is more active than in the early part of the week, and an advance is not so easily obtainable on these goods as on some others.
