BRITON.--fErVILINGE C41.91L __— Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey for the plaintiff; Sergeant O'Brien and Dr. Tristram for the defendant. The plaintiff, Mary Anne Osborne, claimed administra tion of the goods of James Britton, a stailsaler, at Old Swinsford, imar Stourhridgc, and Birmingham, on the ground that she was his widow; and tho application was 1111110/41.11 by George Britton, his brother, on the ground that the plaintiff was never married by the deceased. The intestate (according to the plaintiffs case) hired her as his housekeeper above twenty years ago. Her relations to him afterwards became more intimate, and she left a large portion of her wages in his hands. In 1866, a neighbour, named Gibson, died, leaving a widow, and ms.inting 'Britton executor. This led to frequent visits to him from Mn. Gibson, and the plaintiff (whose name was then Shaw) grew jealous. She demanded the money he r m ast e r owed her and said l she won Id leave him, w here u poi he told "not to mind old mother Gibson," forthat ho would marry her. This, she alleged, lie had done at St. An drew's. Bordesley, on the 21st of February, 1867, and two or three days after he suddenly died. The relatives then U:1111C if, slid seized the goods. The plaintiff also claimed them, and for a time held joint possession with them, but the funnily at length prevailed. The plaintiff then began her suit, and the defendant now pleaded that the story was altogether fake. Dr. Deane having opened his case, and candidly ad mitted that ho should have many difficulties to contend With, calls,' The Rev. W. Hill, incumbent of St. Andrew's, Bordes ley, who proved that a marriage had certainly taken place between the iwrsons who professed to he the parties; but he recollected nothing of the circumstances, for there were several weddings at his church every week. [The case WAS proceeding when our report left.) POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) ➢fATSIO\ ROUSE. TUE CHARGF. OF TOFF-ATI-NINO TO MURDER. aged GO, publisher, was brought up on re mand charged with threatening to murder Mr. Buvil Melas, u Greek merchant, carrying on busineis in the City. Mr. Cecil Cowand appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Sorrell, of Great Tower-street, fur the prisoner. It will be remembered that the prisoner was the pub lisher of a hut of the arrivals and departures of vessels en gaged in the corn trade, to which the prosecutor und other merchants interested in the trade were subscribers. Several years ago, however, a new list was established by a gen tleman named Dunibuseh, to which Mr. Melas and others transferred their patronage. This ap pears to have affected the mind of the prisoner, and three years ago he committed a violent assault upon Mr. Donibusch, for which he was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. On his release he sent aninnber of threatening letters to Mr. Melas. which continued up to the present time; and in one of them ho told him to make the sign of the cross," meaning in Italian `• to pi el are for d eath." Mr. Sorrell said he had only been instructed yesterday, and as he wished to look over the letters, he requested uu adjournment for a week. Mr. Coward made no opposition, and the case was ad jourucil accordingly. SOUTHWARK. ITTORWAT ROBB} RY NEAR LONDON-BUDOE. Jon; a tall, well-dressed, young fellow, was plated at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing a valuable gold watch from the person of Henry Nobbs, at the entrance of the London Bridge Railway Terminus. . _ _ The prosecutor said be was a contractor at Billingsgate market, and at a quarter to 3 on Tuesday, the 17th uist. he was passing with his wife from London-bridge towards the Crystal Palace Railway station. Just as they got to the entrance of the section of the railway a horse and cart came rushing down from the bridge, and before they could be .topped, bolted right through a shop window. There was considerable confusion at the time, and a crowd collected round the shop. While he was looking on ho felt a tug at his watch, and on looking down he saw the prisoner with his watch-chain in his hand, endeavouring to place it in his waistcoat pocket. The watch was gone. Witness caught bold of the prisoner who said, " I'll return you your watch if you let me go, as I have a wife and family dependent upon me." Corroborative evidence was given, and the prisoner was oommitted for trial. GREENWICH. BY • ro•W,X. /*mph Allison, aged 36, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Maude, charged with embezzling upwards of 1201., received for and on account of his employers, Mears. H. and W. Airey, butchers, of Lewisham. It appeared that the prisoner had been three years in the employ of the prosecutors as foreman, and part of his duties was to collect orders, and to receive the accounts of customers. Amongst theprosecutor' customers was the Rev. (1. M. Jones, of Blackheath, whose account amounted to about 121. a week, and which, up to the early Wof the presentyear, was settled weekly. ng, however, to no payments having been made between the 9th March and 6th June (the arrears then amountins to 1201.), a higher price was charged, and this led to an inquiry as to the reason, and afterwards to the prisoner's arrest. It was the custom for the prisoner to carry the receipted book to have the account made up weekly, and the receipt stamps were found to have been removed from the pages of the book, when brought to the prosecutors, and replaced when returned to the customer, and attention baring been directed to marks of grease throughout the book at the spot where the stamps would be affixed, the prisoner said the book had been soiled through the cook at the Rev. Mr. Jones's placing a greasy weight upon it. When taken into cus tody.,. the prisoner replied, "I am very glad it was found out. The prisoner was committed for trial at the Old Bailey Sessions. TERRIBLE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION. - . On Saturday morning a series of explosions of gunpowder and gun-cotton took place at Dolcoath mine, near Camborne. The miners are accustomed to receive their supplies of powder and gun-cotton for blasting every Monday morning, and the quantity thus reeeive amounting from IMb. to fOib. for each " pair" of men, is stored in a number of small cupboards arranged against the wall of an open court, situate near the copper floors. There seems, however, to have been some carelessness in dealing with the powder, for several grains were scat tered about, and these were ignited by one of four little boys (three of them brothers) who had gone " to look for powder," causing the whole quantity stored, amounting to about three cwt., to explode. The lads were fright fully burnt, and died from the effects of the injuries they bad received. THE TEArraia 8311 P WoacEsrEE.—The annual distribution of prime to the young gentlemen training for the merchant service at the school ship Worcester, off ffrith, took place yesterday. This interesting ceremony was performed by the Duke of Northumberland, who was accompanied by his duchess and by Earl Percy; and there were also present Mr. Henry Green, chairman of tho committee, Mr. Graves, M.P., Sir W. Mitchell, Mr. G. Marshall, Mr. F. Green, Mr. W. Phillips, and a great number of gentlemen connected with the port of London, or interested in the general commerce of the country. The mode of awarding the royal medal was somewhat peeuliar. The authorities of the ship selected five candi dates, and this distinguishing badge of honour was then disposal of by the popular vote. The delivery of it to the winner was surrounded with every circumstance that could do honour to her Majesty's donation. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE STOCKBRIDGE AND NEWCASTLE. TO TEE lIHTOIt 07 TH2 H1P2222 SI R, - Stock bridge was itself again °tithe Bibury Club day -quiet, select, and enjoyable. The gentlemen mete created some stir among the ama teurs of the pigskin and their friends; and the triumph of &Jones in the chief one interested the critics generalln coming as it did after Naivetii's excellent performance, for they went into eistacies again about this season's throo-year-old form, which the pair have had oat a little to do with. However, there was nothing like the excitement of last year, when Athenia and lionie run their memorable dead head for the richest of the two-year-old sweepstakes, the three juvenile items in the card all being won pretty easily, and proving the " certainties " they were booked by the talent. The Diemedia. filly, Tenetios, and Abstinence, in fact, were the only "selections" made by "Meteor," who thus did almost as go4sl a day's work as the Duke of Newcadle and Matthew Dawson, the owner and trainer of the two last-named in the above trio, and also of Silenus, the hero of the largest field of the day. Newmarket men also claiming the Diomedia filly and Tumbler, they had a very nice time of it to begin with, and they will doubtless do some more damage before the meeting is over. It would not in the least surprise me to see Ithysworth boat Belladrum to-morrow iu the rich Troy Stakes, Mr. Savilo's improving colt having a 31b. advantage over not only his old opponent, but also over the Diomedia filly and Abstinence, now in such good form. Then there is Blueskin to content the Ninth Biennial, though I scarcely believe, glutton as ho may be, that he can give the 31b. to See saw ; and Julius ought not to miss the Hunstbourne Cup, when he only concedes 141 b. for the year to The Earl, and meets Achievement at very nearly the Bath weights. Lure will not be disgraced in the Mottisfont, but it would be presumption to attempt "finding the pea" here, with such a moderate lot of performers in, and the only hint I can give to those intending to meddle with the minor handicaps, is that they must "fol low" the Duke of Newcastle's and Sir F. Johnstone's favourites. The Beaufort Handicap may fall to Angus; and a fair chance is given Purveyor in the Gentleman's Derby. On Friday there is a Triennial almost at the mercy of Rhysworth, in the absence of Brigantine; and, notwithstanding the Diomedia filly is penalised up to Net. 91b. in The Nursery, she must be very near winning, if brought out. The sport at Neweast/e-upori.Tyne, on Tuesday, was not so good as might have been expected from the liberal amounts of added money given,the largest field of the day being the eight that ran for the " great event," the North Derby, woo by my selected, Chelsea. When the horses on the ground have been run through again this afternoon, the propeets of the concluding day may not ho more satisfactory, for three of the four completed races are handicaps—the Newcastle and the Stewards' Cup being dependent on how Miss Osborne, Stella, Flora, Lady 7,etland, tee., perform. Again, there will not be a large field for the Seaton Delaval Stakes, despite its large entry, and Valtz may prove the winner.—l am, Bcc., Wednesday Morning. METEOR. (BY TELEGRAPH.)

The committen appoiotod to try tho merit , ' of this petition against the return of Mr. Miles wet again this day ; Mr. Howes in the chair. Counsel for die petitioner, Mr. &rjoant Ballantine, Mr. 11. Janus, and Mr. Norris • for the sitting inembn, Mr. H. Gifford, Q.C., Mr. Mathews, Q.C., and Mr. Staveley hill, Q.C. Mr. 11. Oiffanl ripened the awn on behalf of the slitting member. Having called attention the eircumstauees under which Mr. Milan harem° a candidate, he stated that, having consented to stand, ho appointed his writs in the usual manner, and left the management of the election in their bends, and ought not to he affected by the proceedings of zealous partisans who might choose to form themselves into parochial committees. Some of these committees wore very ►arge and urrungisl to breakfast together, but they paid for the mfrielinients themselves, and if oeisusionally a voter partook of the refreshments provided that ought not to affect the Kitting member. With reelect to the charges of penumution, there was not a tittle of e►i dence to show that Mr. Miles had any cognisance of what was going on. Before unseating Mr. Miles on that ground the committee ought to be clearly convinced that agency had been established. The cases of bribery charged wore ingenious devicte to make out a case against the sitting member; but he submitted that a great portion of the eviderive on that point was altogether incredible. The learned gentlenian then proceeded to analyse the evidence, characterising the apparent reluctance of scene of the witnesses to state what had taken place as a mere sham and a clever bit of acting. Ile then called the following witneessi. Dr. Henry Robertson stated that he was chairman of the St. Jeunes's committee. He did not know Mr. Miles before the time of the election. Never saw the witness Woods before the election. Did not know Coz. Had been told that Woods was in the committee once, but never sent him to Simms-alley. Did not know that Barry gave Woods any money. Never gave Herder an order for fifty pots of beer, or any other quantity. Herder asked for some beer, but witness refused to give him any. Herder presented a bill for beer after the election, but witness told him that ho never gave any direction for beer. It was not true that Woods told him he had a number of votes. Barry was in the committee-mom during the whole 'day. Nothing passed between witness and Woods relative to anT payments to Herder. Never heard of " Horder s gang " before the present inquiry. On the day of the election, as he was passing Howler's house, he was hustled in, and asked for something to drink. He threw two half crowns on the table in order that he might be able to get away. Did not know Cox at all. Cox never said one word to him about Herder. Called on Herder several times to ask him for his vote. Howler on the day of election came to the committee-mom and asked for an order for beer, bet witness refused him point blank. Cross-examined Was chairman of the committee for securing the election of Mr. Miles. Had no conuminiiation with Mr. Miles. Barry was engaged as clerk or secretary to the committee, Saw Barry at Bristol about a fortnight ago and ho then mid he was going to Bath. Had not seen him since that time. Barry was sent by the Central Committee and accepted as secretary. Alsop was very active during the election. Recollected Woods speaking to him in the com mittee-room, but had no recollection of the conversation. Believed he said something about canvassing. Thinks be told Woods that he did not require assistance. Would not swear positively. Did not ask Woods what ho was doing. Saw Woods in conversation with Barry. Woods was furnished with a list of voters along with the other canvassers. In stating that he never sent Woods to Simms-alley he meant that he did not send him alone. Believes that Woods and Weaver were sent there. Saw Barry writing. Did not see him pay any money. Did not hear anyone ask him for money. Did not know who paid Barry. AU accounts were sent in to Mr. Hyde, the secretary to the central committee. Did not know whether he hail gone to Bath or not. (Laughter.) Could not say that Mr. Hyde's health had been affected by the election. Ho-examined—His recollection was first called to Woods about a fortnight ago, by a description of his dress. Never saw him on any other occasion. By the committee--He never intended to convey te the committee that he sent Woods to Simms-alley alone. Only a fortnight ago the name of Woods was brought to his knowledge. [Left sitting.] SERIOUS FIRES IN LONDON. (TRI.Y DA Y.) This (Wednesday) morning, shortly after 6 o'clock, a fire broke out in the tea and grocery warehouse of Mr. Outteridge, No. 29, St. James's-road, Holloway, and was not extinguished until the stock in trade was nearly destroyed. A fire also broke out between I and 2 o'clock in the manufactory of Messrs. B. and W. J. Wright, curriers and leather merchants, in Swan-mead, Bermondsey New-road. The building was four floors high, and of proportionate width. The alarm was promptly given, and the engines of the Metropolitan Brigade attended, but the contents were all but destroyed, and the adjoining premises of Mr. O. Langley damaged. A serious fire also happened during the night in pre mises in Fashion-street, Spitalfields, occupied by Messrs. Horafelt and Ernell, coopers, Mr. H. Wright, a cabinet maker, and the Jews' soup-kitchen. The premises were two and three floors high and 80 feet long, and contained goods of an inflammable character. The first and second floors and their contents were consumed, and the Jews' song-kitchen partially destroyed. The Blind Society's institution in Commercial-street, and one or two other houses in that street, and ono in Flower and Dean-street, were slightly damaged. MONEY MARKET.--(THIS DAY.) ONE O'CLOCK. The English funds opened flatly this morning, at a redaction of i to I per cent. upon addi tional sales for cash. Some considerable speculative purchases, however, have since been made for the account, and prices have accordingly experienced partial recovery. In the railway market, South Eastern stock has bees pressed far sale, and has fallen 11 per coat., owing to unfavourable rumours with regard to• the Amalgamation, Bill. Foreign securities are still in request, and the general course of quotations is rather favourable.. Italian Bonds of 1861 have further improved, in response to higher prices from the Paris Bourse. Hudson's Bay shares have declined nearly It., the dividend just an nouncnd having caused much disappointment. The discount market remains very quiet, with few transactions. The best paper is taken at 1: to 1 j per cent. Consols are quoted 941 to 1, ex div., for money, and 941, ex div., for the account (July 9), and the Three per Cents.
