Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice Willa; and • °on:mon 'Jury.) • • --- me court .at this morning at 10 o'clock, and there were nsreral cases in the paper, but in cemaequence of the parties not being ready iu the 'he st one, the record was withdrawn. The next was tried as an undefended cause, and the judge and jury having waited for some time in vein, the records were withdrawn in the other cases, and the court rose before 11 o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prins after Ts= at Wistminster.—(Before Mr. Baron Marka ;,;c1;"60,;;-Jri) ROBERTS V. ORCHARD.-FALSE 131PRISONMENT. This action was brought by a salesman formerly in the , employ of the defendant, a draper, in Regent-street, to re cover compensation iu damages for having been given by him into custody on a charge of stealing • florin, the property of his master. The defendant pleaded Not guilty, and that when he gave the plaintiff into custody, he bonfl Me believed that he bad taken the mosey. Mr. Serjeaot Parry and Mr. Luxton wore counsel for the plaintiff ; and •Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. D. Keane for the defendant. It appeared that on the Bth of Feb. last the plaintiff had received change from one of the cashiers, and finding after wards that it was short, went back and obtained the addi tional sum required. Mr. Orchard, the defendant, then called him into the counting-house, and having made bim take oat all the money from his pocket, declared that he had a florin which he bad previously marked, and gave him into custody for embezzlement. lie was taken before Mr. Yard ley, the magistrate at Marlborough-street, who upon bearing the evidence dismissed the case. The plaintiff was • silk rah 'man and had been twenty years in the trade, and he alleged that in consequence of this occurrence he had been unable to obtain any employment. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, on the part of the defendant. submitted that the action could not be maintained, as • month's notice of bringing it had not been given to the defendant, under 24 and 25 Vic , c. 96, the object of which, he said, was that in cases of this kind the person who bad gives the party into custody should have an oppor tunity of offering a fair compensation. Mr. Baron Martin held that the notice was not required. The defendant, Mr. Orchard, was called for the defence, and he said that in consequence of complaints having been made to him by his cashiers as to the plaintiff having said be received short change, he marked some silver money on the Bth February, and afterward& he found one of the marked florins, which he identified, in possession of the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Parry rid the object of this evidence wag to prove a felony, and objected to it on the ground of there being no plea of justification. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine rid his object was to prove the perfect bona fides of the defendant in giving the plaintiff into custody. Mr. Baron Martin said the bona fides of the defendant bad nothing to do with the verdict, though they might affect the damages. A lad named Mills, a cashier in the defendant's employ, was next examined. He said that he entered the defendant's service in November, 1861, and from that time up to the Bth of February the plaintiff had fifty times complained of short change. In the presence of Giffard, soother cashier, he gave the change containing the florin in question to the plaintiff. (It should be stated that the plaintiff in his evi. donee said he had only once complained of short change.) Citified corroborated Mills's evidence. Mr. Baron Martin asked if the defendant meant to prove a felony, because that was the tendency of this evideoce ? Mr. Serjeaat Ballantine said he did not. He relied entirely upoo the perfect boo& fides of the defendant in giv the plaintiff into custody. Mr. Serjeant Parry said he must then object to the evi dence. Mr. Baron Martin then summed up. He told the jury that they must assume that the plaintiff was innocent, and the only question would be the amount of damages. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 2061. A bill of exceptions was tendered to the learned judge's ruling as to the reception of evidence and his summing up. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.-ST. JAMES'S, PICCADILLY, MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) This morning a public meeting of the inhabitants of this pariah was held in the vestry-room, - for the purpose of organising the collection of contributons for the dis • tressed operatives in the cotton districts. The meeting was presided over by the Rev. J. E. KEMPF., the rector of the parish. The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings, and read a letter from the Bishop of London, expressing his regret that his other engagements prevented him from being pre sent, and deeply sympathising with the objects of the meeting. Lord Swain', M.P., then moved the following resolu tion :—"That this meeting desires to express heartfelt sympathy with the suffering operatives in the manufac. turing districts, and high a dm iration of the spirit in which they are bearing their calamity." They all knew the circumstances under which they had come together. Lancashire was starving because the supply of American cot ton had been cutoff ,and it was at all eventasatisfactaryto know that no class or party in this country was responsible for the calamity which had occurred. (Hear.) He had heard it urged that the manufacturers ought to have foreseen this calamity, and to have been provided for it ; but there could be no doubt that had any manufacturer taken that view of the case years ago, and looked to the colonies or to India for a supply of cotton, the probabi lity was that he would have soon found himself in the La Gazette. Ooe great evil of the present calamity was, that 10 no one knew how long it was to last. It might seem a pa- at radox, but it did appear to him that if there was an air Et-, solute certainty that no American cotton would come into 76' this country for the next six months, it would induce par- 10 ties to invest their capital with greater security in obtaining cotton from other quarters, whereas were they to do so in 60 the present state of uncertainty, a large supply of 11 American cotton might come into the market and frustrate 7t 7 , their efforts as well as cause them to lase their capital in cat obtaining cotton from other sources. As to what had been st. maid about the amount of the rates in Lancashire, Bt 'as compared with other counties, the rates there It. at present were on an average of from 10a. to 1 . 2 a. St in the pound, and before long there was no doubt they iLL would be greatly increased, but it must also be taken into account that the ratepaying power of the inhabitants * was very much diminished. (Hear, hear.) A great St. depreciation in the value of property had taken place St. tradeamen and shopkeepers were very much reduced, and tll.- St. consequently they were not in a position to pay such large rates as they were before this calamity happened. He 4 • believed that the wealthy classes of Lancashire it• had done their duty, but he had no hesitation try in saying that even after exercising the borrowing it. powers which the act of butt session rive in rail- 16 bag money there would bo still enough for them to do. A great mistake, in his opinion, prevailed as regarded the 10 . wealth of Lancashire, inasmuch as much of the capital isg, which had been realised there was expended in other place'. Sim They saw it in the splendid squares which were rising up St. about them here in London—they saw it in another shape 10 in other places, while many of these wealthy milloweers 100 expend their capital in the purchase of large 10 estates in different parts of the country. They * were not, therefore, to calculate the wealth of Lan- St. eashire by the amount of the capital which had been Bt. realised in it. Then, as to the magnitude of the calamity,they 8 4. were all aware of the patience and the fortitude with g 4 which the people were enduring it, and while they all no ts doubt wished that it might speedily terminate, they would ak also console themselves with the thought that out of evil HA good might come. St. Mr. Box seconded the resolution, which was put from the 19 3 chair and unanimously adopted. Mr. Loom next moved the appointment of a committee, a. consisting of the rector t churchwerdens, Messrs. Elliot, Her- st risco:4 Church, Harvey, Crane, William Locke, Skay, and E. ist, C. Roberts, to collect contributions by house to house appli cal - cations, in aid of a fuod to be called the St. James's Auxiliary it Relief Fund for the relief of the distressed operatives. it St. Mr. READ having seconded the resolution, it was EL unanimously adopted. St. The CHAIRMAN stated that contributions to the amount fp of 6001• had been already received, and that a further sum S 6 of 500 f. had been promised and was expected to be in hand 2 / in the course of to-day or Monday. tCheers.) SO The proceedings then terminated with a vote of thanks to * the chai,man. EAST INDIA NAVIGATION AND CANAL. 20 (THIS DAY.) The third ordinary general meeting of proprietors I ~.B t 4 was held this morning at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. THOMsotr in the chair. The repor t , of which the following is au abstract, was taken as rem : The directors have the satisfaction of reporting that, - nut only has the information obtained by means of the local 1,1 investigations and surveys, which have been prosecuted g with considerable energy, strengthened the confidence IM hitherto entertained by them in the soundness and promis ing character of the contemplated works, but that, mince the 10 second ordinary general meeting, circumstances of a very 2 encouraging description have occurred, tending to aid ; materially in the successful prosecution of its nu- go dertaking. The directors have availed themselves ge of an opportunity which lately offered, to secure % the invaluable, though temporary, services of Major- 10 General Sir Arthur Cotton, who embarked for India on the 11 27th of last month, with the purpose of proceeding to ■ Orissa, and of co-operating there with the chief gi engineer in the fiord determination of the scheme, m and of the plans to be recommended for adoption. 11 The Governor-General of India, and the Lieutenant- 11 Governor of Bengal (in whose presidency the company will 11 operate), as well as the other authorities at Calcutta, and 11 the local officers in Orissa, have expressed themselves sin- m rarely desirous of rendering all the encouragement and help g in their power to further the objects of the company, and have already given every facility to its represents- I tives. The &rectors have good reasons for believing that 1 the government are disposed to transfer to the company g the immediate completion of a canal from Oolaburroih on the river Hoogbly to the river Roopnarain, a dis tance of 12 or 14 miles, lying in the direction of and capable of being made part of the intended line of commuoication between Orissa and Calcutta, • large portion of such canal having been already excavated. The directors believe that the supply of labour will be abundant, and several of the principal semindars have expressed themselves ready to ester into contracts for the construc tion of those portions of the works which will pass through or affect their estates ; and one has undertaken to supply 10,000 coolies whenever required. There is au eagerness in the district to take the company's water, when ready for distribution, at satisfactory prices. To afford fa cility to sharehelden to pay upon their shares in advance of future calls, the directors lately made arrangements for the investment of all surplus funds in their hands, at five per cent interest, upon the security of a deposit of India go vernment paper. Shareholders may therefore now avail themselves of this privilege, as any por tion of a share will be received. The au dited accounts of the company will be printed as usual at the ordinary yearly meeting of shar eh olders in May next • but it may be satisfactory to state here that a sum of 1042401. had been received on the 30th September last on account of capital, and that the expenditure in England up to the sane date, and in India up to the 31st August last, amounted to the sum of 13,1111., leaving • balance of 90, 1291. in hand." The CayixAn, io purring it. adoption, observed that, though this was the third Misting, it r mosi be regarded ei ii preliminary, there not having been, yet time to draw up any 'Gera] soirees of orrations.andtten proceeded to naapita 'opens._ late the paragraphs above quoted. The iirovince of Orissa was a series of deltas intersected by numerous rivers, the waters of which when left to themselves overran the whole country g in seasons of flood, and the object of the company was to con- I trol those streams by assisting nature and directing them to I main channels and using the water in its noun for the irri fM - ptiou of the land. The nature of the work would sutli- Mainly show that considerable time was required for making I , the surveys and determining the course of the several main and cross channels. Another object was to pro vide a ready and economical means of communi cation, by making the canals navigable and where practicable, the rivers also, and to bring this system of ; navigation in communication with the sea and with Calcutta. The works would be carried on in sections, beginning with those which would involve the least cost and promised the moat profitable results, and it had bean suggested that they should commence by forming a canal from Calcutta and Midnapore. In conclusion he expressed his conviction that I a scheme so largely beneficial ,to the districts which would be served by it must prove remunerative to the share holders, the effect of irrigation in India being immediately I to double the value of the soil. The resolution was seconded by Colonel ONstow, who considered it a favourable feature of the scheme that it was not trammelled by any government guarantee. The report was unanimously adopted. The retinog directors were re-elected, and the proceed- I lugs terminated with the usual vote of thanks. THE POLICE COURTS. gum DAY.) CLE'RIEENWELL. THE EFFECTS OP AllEt.onorzrp—A. 77T CAWS FOE THE DIVORCE COURT. A ladylike young woman, who was respectably attired, applied to the sitting magistrate, nuder the 21st section of the Divorce end, Matrimonial Causes Act, for an order for the protection of her earnings and property acquired since her husband's desertion, from her husband and his cre- - ditms. 4 The young woman, who made her statement in a very straightforward manner, said she bad been married to her husband about two years and a half ; she first met her hus band, who was some three yearn older than herself, whilst she was fat • school in the country. She frequently met him, and at his persuasion the eloped with him, and was married by license at a church in town. Shortly after her marriage she came Into wane little property through the death of a relative ; for although her friends did not exactly approve of the marriage, they did not forsake her. Her husband took the whole of it, and lived a very dissipated life, returning home at unseaeonable hours the worse for liquor. Whilst she was in her confinement, he knocked her about, and said be would turn her out into the street. Ascertaining from an anonymous letter that her husband was in the habit of visiting places of amusement in com pany with a female, she watched him, and discovered that the woman he was with had apartments, and passed as his wife. On his return home she upbraided him for his shameful treatment, when he called her vile names, and again struck her, and threatened he would murder her if she ever ven tured to follow him. She communicated with her friends, arid, adopting their suggestions, she separated front her husband between eight and nine months since. As she had lately had some more money left her. and with the aid of her friends was now getting a livelihood, her husband annoyed her for money, acid his creditors were constantly sending to her to pay her husband's accounts. In answer to the magistrate the applicant stated that she did not receive any allowance from her husband. He did not turn her out, but she left him in ooneequenos of his ill uage, and Imause her friends provided her child and her self with a home. The magistrate mid he was very sorry that he could not vent the applicant's request, and recommended her to apply to the Divorce Court. The applicant, who was in tears, said she would adopt the magistrate's advice. WORSHIP-STREET. in ADD OUT OP PRISON. • • .• John Bennett and Elizabeth Shadman were charged, the dormer with attempting to pick the pocket of a physician, and the other with an attempted rescue. Mr. Henry ' Jefferson, resident in Finsbury-square, said— About 10 o clock this morning I was passing along Cluswelletreet, and suddenly felt a band inside my coat pocket. I turned and seized the prisoner Bennett by the collar, at the same instant accusing him of an attempt to rob me. To this he replied—holding out his bands, in one of which was some description of sausage, and in the other a roll of bread—" Now, I couldn't do such • thing while holding these, could I?” It so happened that at the moment in question not any other person was within reach, and I penuted in the charge ; finding this the I case he assumed a very high hand, declaring that it wash scandalous thing to accuses respectable young man of such an offence. Another man then came up, interfered, and tried to rescue him, upon which I grasped him also ; a struggle ensued and I got them both upon the ground. A large crowd conceal, but not any one attempted to assist me, and at length the last fellow gut away. A con stable came almost directly, and I gave prisoter into custody. The women then came up, and asked what was the matter, claimed him u her brother, and evidently strove by her conduct to release him, consequently she too was taken. Police•constable 82 4 gave evidence as to the last portion of the charge, and it was also sworn that the man had been previously convicted of a similar offence to the present one, the imprisonment for which had only just been completed. Upon bearing this Bennett declared that he had not bees in prison for felony, but for a lighter offence, and then in a whimpering tone again asserted himself to be respectable. Sot anything appeared to be known against the woman, and the magistrate ordered her, with a severe reprimand, to pay a small fine, which she did. The man was sent for three months' bard labour to the Houle of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A 808PIC101:111 visrroa AT AN HOTEL. John Osborne Poster was charged as follows : Mr. Joseph Challis, proprietor of Webb's Hotel, Pic cadilly, said that on the previous night the prisoner came to the hotel and said he was sent by a gentleman named Long, residing at Manchester. to engage a bed, and to wait for him. The prisoner made himself at home, called for some brandy and water and • cigar, walked into the smoking room. sand then said that he should have a bed himself. Not liking the look of the prisoner, and as it was getting late, he was :asked to pay his bill and leave. Prisoner said he had no money, that he was —if be wanted any, and that he would not leave. He then made use of the most disgusting language in the presence of his (Mr. Challis's) wife, and at last he piss him into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox complainart said he bad • oar tamer at Manchester of the name of Long. but he now be lieved that although prisoner said he met Mr. Long in the City yesterday that that gentleman was not in Rondos. Richardson, 167 C, said the prisoner gave two or three different names at the station, and he believed he had ad now given his right name. Mr. Knox said be suspected there was more in the pri soner's conduct than appeared. There was something very peculiar in the prisoner's going to au hotel, and making use of the name of one of the customers. He should remand the prisoner fora week, that he might be well looked up in the meantime. The prisoner is • man of shabby appearance, and was Penniless when taken into custody.

About 31,0901. in gold, chiefly bar, was with drawn from the Bank yeterday for exportation. The steamer Tasmanian has arrived from the West Indies with 642,0001. in specie, chiefly alive; and the Hammonia, from New York, with leO,OOOL, reeking together 702,0001. The demand for the Continent continuing active, the whole of the pre sent supplies of gold will be sent thither, while the silver will be despatched to the East. Owing to the firmness of the Bombay exchange , a considerable amount of silver has been purchasel for transmission to that port, rid Marseilles, by the outgoing steamer. In compliance with influential representations made on the subject, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company have notified by circular that the rates charged previous to the 13th inst. "for the conveyance of specie to the ports of India, China, ckc. from Marseilles, will be reverted to after the departure of the steamer of the 12th Debember from t ha t port."
