Of Mr. Sullivan's overture we have already spoken on the ocerkon of its first performance at the Norwich Festival of last year, and we see no reason to alter the opinion then recorded. It contains some clever instrumentation and effective climaxes, but neither originality of subject nor freshness of treatment. The name composer's setting of Shakespeare's Willow Soog has a certain sombre character, but no individuality of style. It was expressively sung, as was also Handel's beautiful air, by Mademoiselle Drasdil, the young contralto who made so favourable an im pression at the recent Norwich Festival. Donizetti's duet (given for the first time in England) is a graceful piece of vocalisation. but without any of the elevation appropriate to the text. Madame Sinico gave Beethoven's great arena expressively, but with an occasional want of the dignity required iu its grander passages of dechuna. tion. The same lady's excellent rendering of Haydn's melodious canzonet would have been even more effective with the original pianoforte accompaniment than with the somewhat over-elaborated orchestral instrumentation. :tuber's bright and pretty overture closed an excellent concert which most worthily inaugurated the resumption of this special and inijortant feature of the Crystal Palace attractions. Sint Arts. TILE SOCIETY OF FEMALE ARTISTS. The annual exhibition of this Society, which miters tow upon its eleventh season with all the s gns of an assured and well-merited success, is now open at the gallery of the Society of Architects, in Conduit•atreet. It is very satisfactory to be able to congratulate the ladies who have so long endeavoured to promote the interests of those of their set who have made art a study and a profes sion upon the increasing support given to the good cause they have taken up. It is not only in the Uricr number of contributors and improvin; character of the works that we have to rejoice, but in the more substantial sui port of certain life subscribers, amongst whom are admitted several g-ntlemen whose practiced business knowledge, ae well as their good wishes in favour of all art ente-prbies, will be sure to mature and strengthen a Society which owes its origin to the ladies themselves. The names of Mr• rate, M.P., Mr. Arthur Aahpitel, Mr. H. Bohn, and Mr. ♦rthur Lewis may be mentioned as well known in the in terests of art. and these it is hoped will lead to other ac owe ions. and induce those Ladies whose talents have a:ready gained for them a place of honour in the Academy and ether exhibitions to join the Society. On the whole, the exhibition may fairly be considered the best that has yet been achieved by the Society, and will well repay a visit. Pr:OFESSOR FAWCETT. ILP.. OX FOREIGN COMPETITIVE LABOUR. Prf,fcanor Fawcett has addressed the following letter to the operatives at the Brighton Railway Works, wbo bad requested his explanation of the question as to why foreigners can compete so successfully with English labour. and how English trade can be best prevented from going to foreign countries : " Trinity Hall, Cambridge, Jan. 21,1867. " My dear your letter, you ask me, in the name of yourself and several of my friends at the railway, whe ther I think that England is likely to lose, by foreign com petition, various branches of industry, and, amongst others, that in which you are engaged. In the first place, I will remark that our government ought not directly to interfere, even if we should suffer from foreign competition. The fundamental principle of free trade is that the capital andlabour of each country shou:d be applied to those departments of industry for which the country may possess the greatest natural ad vantages; and lam confident that the class whom you represent would be must reluctant to sanction the slight est interference with this principle. Although the go vernment ought to do nothing by direct protection. yet the state can do much indirectly to assist us in our con test with foreign competitors. Taxes are paid by employers and einpluyed, and, therefore, may be regarded as a burden both upon capital and labour. If taxation is redeced, as it may be, mid ought to be in this country, the burden on capital and labour is light ego& and hence our industry is made more productive. Again, if wo had such a system of national education ea exists in Prussia and the United States, the whole condition of the people would be improved, we should have less crime and pauperism, and you know that crime and pauperism are so costly that they cast a heavy burden arm industry. It may be further remarked that an edu cated labourer is a much more efficient workman than an Ignorant labourer. If, therefore, the whole caeca was educated, the labour of the country would be made much more productive. This would give us a great advantage in air competition with foreigners, because, when labocr is made more productive, more is produced by the same amount of work : therefore, both employer and employed can receive a better remuneration, and at the same time commodities can be sold at a cheaper rate to the coneu.ner. But I ens chiefly induced to look forward hopefully to Bic industrial future of this country, because I observe nnmietakeable signs which convince me that the reletions between employers and employed are destined to be greatly modified and improved. Hitherto labour has been too muois regarded as a commodity to be bought and sold Jost !ike • sack of wheat. The employer has striven to bay labour at the cheapest possible rate, and the em ployed have naturally endeavoured to sell their labour at the highest possible price. Employers and employed have thus been parties to a keenly-contested bargain. It frequently happens that the terms of this bargain cannot be arranged ; things must then come to a stand still ; a strike ensues, and a heavy loss is inflicted both upon capital and upon labour. If these strikes cannot be prevented, a great danger threatens English industry ; for capital and labour, if they have to suffer the loss consequent on strikes, may seek refuge in other coun tries. Now, it has been proved that strikes can be prevented if employers and employed, instead of having the feeling of antagonists, me bound together by some of the bonds of common pecuniary interest. Several employers in the north of England, who suffered greatly from strikes, have agreed to give their workmen a certain proportion of the profits realised, when those profits ex msed a certain amount, which amount represents a fair return to the master for his capital and for his !Omar of superintendence. The profits which are thus dis tributed amongst the men make them interested in the emcees of the business; employers and employed, in stead of being antagonists. are in this way made, in a certain degree, partners. The workmen, being contented, labour with greater efficiency ; strikes and other disputes are prevented ; and the business obtains a prosperity which it never knew before. Similar happy results will be obtained if workmen are able to subscribe amongst themselves a sufficient amount of capital to carry on a hi/daemon their own account, upon the principles of co operation. I have now indicated various reasons which induce sue to think that we have it in our power to secure success in our industrial contest with foreign competitors. —Relieve me to be. my dear sir, yours truly, " Mr. John Short.

THE GREAT SPRING EVENTS. TO VIZ EDITOR Of THE ZIPRISS. Stn.—Every " legitimate " event of the spring the public take so much interest in is now before us. Mr. Johnsoo having issued his excellent Lincolnshire Handicap 00 Tuesday last, whilst on Wednesday Admiral Roue followed suit with the City and Suburban, Metropolitan, and Newmarket ; the Weailierby's with the Northampton shire Stakes, and Mr. Topham with the Chester Cup. The Liverpool Steeplechase (the weights for which are to come out early this week) and Two Thousand complete the list of heavy ante-post betting races decided this side of ;he Derby ; and oot.sidering that six of the eight come off within a period of 37 days, we shall have a bustling spring campaign —in which, by-the-by, the Lincoln and Liverpool affairs, of February 19 and March 7 , are searcely entitled to be included. Though a week later than last spring with the " fixtures" fathered by the Jockey Club, we &rental pretty early throughout, the 22nd of May beitg the Derby Day ; yet this might,with advent a re, have been put back another seven days, to prevent the el is of the York and Doncaster four days with Ascot Spring and Salisbury. As it is Epsom spring has been forcol out of its usual track, and dnven into the "illegi timate" season, having actually to precede the Northampton week, whist the Craven reunion dared not wait for Easter tile, owing to the late falling thereof ; so that all the old-fashioned arrangements of the executive at head quarters, stuck to so obstinately in former years, are over. throonat last by the moveable feast they are so strangely made subject to. The Guineas' meeting has to take to Easter. but would cause its usual amount of excitement at any date, as we are certain of a splendid Two Thousand race, little interest as is taken in it just now. The" market is almost precisely in the same state as it was before the death of Lord Exeter (another link between the good old sportimg " ientletuan" and the purely gambling swell" of our day gone l) despite the wagers about Grand Cross being null and void, and the colt going out of the race altogether ; and but for a genuine commission apparently to the tune of thousands, to hack the Duke of Newcastle's Julius. the gamesters would have had no other " tools" trim Plaudit and Hermit to work with. They seem te have had a nice hit of fun with these already, and will probably have some more, all sorts of ailments having attacked Plaudit—so they say during the present winter—from a slight cough, up to influenza : the Hermit, too, has fairly divided Newmarket in their ' , pinions as to whether he hes trained on to per fection or become " not worth fourpenee." Taking every thin; into consideration, however, the market prices of the part are not a whit too long, foci! wants three months to the race yet, and there is sure to be a good field [Gart to something ,pose then., made up from Julius, Knight of the er, Vauban or else from DaneburY , Marksmen, the Palmer, one of the Frenchmen, Star of podia, Master Butterfly, Sir Oliver, one from the Regalia stable. &r. ; nevertheleas, it is bard to perceive what be yond Marksman or something " dark " can interfere with toe two cracks, if they are not Buccaneered before the day. The metallic men have other things to occupy their at tention tow, and may leave Plaudit alone for the sake of operating upon the new handicaps, the first of which, the Lincoln, seenu, to have puzzled them most, as no one seems to care about investing upon it to any extent. It at tracted a far larger field than any of its rivals last year, when the two five-year-old maidens that " could net 1.a.e." and all that sort of thing (Valiant and Copenhagen), were put clean out by Treasure Trove and the nine." stunner," Seecarometer, who ran such an exciting race home. The old horse has exactly the same impost given him again, Copenhagen (still a maiden I) having also the same, 7st 121 b, put on his nix-year-old back ; but Treasure Trove takes 331 b extra for his yens, which is handicapping him to have improved some 716 n.ore than an ordinary colt in the same time, and I have no doubt he has done so. Early as Mr. Johnson was in the field Admiral Rous has not deigned to copy his h-tliwork in regard to several animals that are in the City and s.lburhan, as the weights of many in the two events differ to some extent, though the northerner has apparently only been severe in two instances, when he gives Mb and flib more to Chepstow and Wild Agnes re spectively than they herein the two-furiong longer affair. The Meseta. Weatherby's. and the productions from head quarters do not tally so closely as one might expect. there being some two dozen examples of their running rather wide in the Northamptonshtre and Metropolitan, or the St. Liz and City and Suburban ; b u t M r . T o ph am i has given us some hard nuts to crack in regard to his views about what certain horses can do, and his brethren of the scales must have stared when they saw the result of his ti.ree weeks' labour. Beginning slightly lower than any of them, he has given Lecturer, Rama, Caithness, Dr. Syntax. War. Archimedes, Acms., Pintail, Gomera, Miss Harriette. Beeswing, Monitress, Chepstow, Minster, Proserpine, quick March, Black Prince, Sergeant Paequot, Barrington, and Fan, such weights that their owners who look at their treatment in the other long races must accept ; but, by the same rule, Brown Bread, East Lancashire, Scarborough, Flatcatcber, Nutri tion, Sportsman, Fortunatus, Conundrum, Oracle, and Othello, ought to " shunt," and look to other matters, if they are frontier anything. Mr. Topham has adopted the plan seldom used in handicaps, of giving the good horses fair chances, and the very top of his tree, The Duke, at :Ist 31b, is bound to be natisfied, seeing that even in our day a five-yr-old has won with 9st 41b, and a three with fief 111 b, t ho ugh it did take an Asteroid and a Tint Wittier to perform these feats. The other horses at J. Day's are very well treated indeed, and there may be something better than his grace in the stable, for John Davis has only Set 1016, Lecturer fist 216, Redcap 7et 61b, Gomorra Ist 21b, Black Prince Est, and the dark VllOl3 eist ; however, what ever can polish off The Duke in the final trial should about accomplish what Ackworth and Redcap failed to do when they were made such favourites, and win the present Danbury school their first Chester Cup. Dalby will have to prove a real good horse to throw his third main over the Ithoodee, for he has the sensible impost of Set 1016, or 1916 more than he won with last, since when his improvement should not have been more than 316. Last year it was a moot point whether a three-yr-old (Delight) running him at 1316, or about 171 b less than weight for age, would not have beaten him but for a break down ; and here he gives from 3811 to 4 Mbi to nearly fifty three-yr-olds that may include a second Delight, the lot receiving more than the necessary weight for the three years, to the tune of half a stone or a stone. Old Moulsey, who was in his best form last season, is actually receiving 291 b from Dalby for the beating he got, which ought surely to turn the tables, bad as was his third to the young Highflycr, and the talent were quite right in making Lord Bateman's horse the favourite when the handicap appeared, he having been " favoured " to all intents and purposes. At the same time it is quite possible such gluttons as Rama and Lec turer will give him the tab and two years over the two miles and a quarter ; another four-year-old I strongly swi ped we have not seen the best of, Rococo, being also a thorn in hie side at 7et 81b. Strathconan and Caithness are handicapped to their St. Leger form exactly, and the grey stands pretty highly in my esteem, if he is only " well on the day , ' and better at the 2Jlb between them than Newland. This latter has more than once ran like the good horse Bracken, Weather Star, Ailesbury, the Sister to Scottish Chief, Barrington, &c., are only suspected to be, and is not giving away much weight —nor is the slashing Manuelba. • filly that last Chester promised to make a second Regalia ; consequently, those who stand the young Lambton will be upon velvet before the day if he, and not Strathconan, is " the one" from Belleisle, in which event it would go hard indeed with the other three-year-olds. Harrogate, 3 yrs, sst 1016, did one putt thing when he first came out, and may be better than his stable companion Rococo, whose party again have so many others in their interests that they are too awk ward to meddle with. In fact, the Chester Cup is • race hardly worth meddling with until the acceptances are publis he d an Wednesday next, even as regards some of the turned loose lot (Abergeldie, Monitress, Minster, Cora. Burney, kc., of which body Monitress looks almost too " well in"), as there can be no good investment until the best of .f. Day's and T. Dawson's teams are discovered. Similar difficulties present themselves over the other handicaps, with horses like Troublesome and Ilia mark in James Dawson's formidable lot at Lincoln, and the auspicious Ailesbury among the tenderly-dealt-with three year-olds there, Les-bourne, too, being at the head of Mr. Savile's string. the City and Suburban is too good a handicap to touch upon in any way, Sportsman being only a fancy" of mine ; and I can only say of the Northamp toashire Stakes that the heavy weights look threatening, with John Davis and Regalia among them, Nutrition standing well among the mediums, and Weather Star, the Splitvote colt, and Anchorite among the feathers.— I am, &c. METEOR. 1, but nothing came of it. Hermit's price was 6 to I (offered), and Julius 10 to 1, but the concession of another point against the latter would have led to some business. Master Butterfly and filarkluian were each offered to be laid against at 100 to 6, and at this price the last-named was occasionally supported. The General —who is in the formidable Lord Lyon stable—for the first time found his way into the market, 1000 to 15 being accepted about him. An attempt was made to negotiate some place-betting, but the offer of 100 to 80 against Plaudit, and al to 40 against Hermit produced no result. For the Derby The Rake's name was not mentioned. D'Estournel's price was 9to 1, offered, but at 10 to 1 he would have been backed. Plaudit looked like retrogradin , for the continuous offers of 11 to 1 passed unheeded. A proposition was made to take 16 to 1 about Hermit, but 14 to 1 was the outside offer against him. The odds against Marksman and Master Butterfly were 25 to 1 each, and a alight advance upon these quota tions would have led to both being supported. The only outaider mentioned was Skysail, but the tempting price of :4000 to 30 was not deemed good enough for aninvestmenL The quotations at the close were as follows : LINCOLN HANDICAP. 100 to 6 agst Battayany 1 100 to 4 agst Copenhagen and of, (tt Christmas Carol 100 to 3 Saceharonictee (t and o, (t, NORTHA)IPTONAHIBE STAKES, 100 to 4 on the Field. CITY AND SUBURBAN HANDICAP. 100 to 3 apt Jollity (t) I 100 to 3 apt, Thalia (I) 93 to 1 BETTING IN LONDON.-SATCRDAY. There was a large muster at the clubs this after noon, but the betting was not all in keeping with the numbers present, for notwithstanding the persistent efforts of 1101.:E of our largest bookmakers to transact business on the two great three-year old races and the spring handi caps. backers responded but faintly to the numerous offers made. The Cluster Cup was, as a matter of course, the main object of attraction, and the proceedings opened by an offer of 21 to 1 on the field, which no one appeared to consider sufficiently tempting to accept, while 1,000 to 30 about Bracken—who was in some force on the pre ceding day—went begging. The first and most note worthy transaction was the backing of Weather Star, aphid whom 4,000 to 100 was laid, but the colt met with no further support beyond this single outlay. Tarmentor was also entrusted with 1001 . at 50 to 1, and these were the only two actual negotiations that came under our notice. For the Lincoln Handicap Bat thyany was in some request, and after 20 to 1 had been laid, he found friends at 100 to 6 ; Christman Carol was supported for a small amount at 20 to 1 ; and some two or three others were made the mediums of trifling invest ments. For the Northamptonshire Stakes 100 to 4 was offered on the field without a response ; while for the City and Suburban, the only two horses we saw backed were Thalia and Jollity at 100 to 3 each. The most notice able feature in connection with the Two Thousand was the decidedly unhealthy appearance of Plaudit, against whom there was a manifest anxiety to lay, offers of 9 to 2 coming front several quar ters, and failing to find takers. Two or three specu lators, however, professed their willingness to accept 5 to 1000 to 40 apt M0u447;7 - 1000 to 40 Rama .oft 1000 to 90 Bracken ,off , 4000 to 100 Weather Star (t) 40 to 1 NlisaHarriette TWO T 110 1 ,9,1 9 to 2 apt Plaudit (off,t 5 to 1' to 1 10 to 1 Julius Coll, t 1l toll 100 to c Marksman (t and off; oto I agst D'F.stottroel7;l - t 1./ to 11 • 11 to 1 Plaudit t uft 14 to 1 Lrrndt tuff, t 16 to 1) 5000 to W egg Tormentor (t 1000 to : 4 .0 limnera t (1000 to 15) 1000 to 20 The Duke (0) 1000 to S 0 Redcap (off) AND GUINF.AS. i 100 to 6 spit Hader Butter. fly 'off; 1000 to 15 The General ft 1 100 to 00 Plaudit 1, 2, 3, tIGOto 40 la) 11,:ro,lt, 1,2, 3, (0C :RBT. 2.• to 1 agst Marksman ;off, t2Btot 25 to 1 Master Butter• fly ,off, t 200 to 7 5000 to 30 tall toff) Cabal anti /Within.

EsQuiss BEDZLUSHIP.-11r. Besant, of St. John's, has withdrawn his resignation of his office as Esquire BedelL THE DEPTFORD AND GREENWICH RD./TN.—OR Saturday night there was a threatened renewal of these riots, and to meet which a strong body of police was held in reserve to meet any emergency that might arise. During the afternoon the number of applicants at Mr. Patte's, the relieving officer for Deptford, were most numerous, and a very large amount of relief was dis pensed. A notice was then given that no more relief would be given and the constables on duty cleared the office, which, however ? was surrounded for some time after, • rumour prevailing that the tradesmen's shops were again to be plurdered. At this time, however, the rain set in, and the streets became quickly cleared, the services of none of the police held in reserve being required. In reverence to the distress prevailing in the district, it may be mentioned that the Lords of the Admiralty, through Mr. Trill, police ma gis trate, have granted gratuitously five tons of biscuits, Weed at the Royal Victoria Victualling-yard, Deptford, and which have been distributed among the several clergy of the district, and the managers of the several soup kitchens. THE AMALGAMATED ENOINEERN AND THE WAGES QUESTION.—The wages agitation in the iron trades has ex • tended to Blackburn. The whole of the Amalgamated Engineers—comprising engineers, smiths, mechanics, dressers, joiners, &c., and the iron-moulders employed in Blackburn and its immediate vicinity—have all, with the exception of those employed by Messrs. Yates, Canal Foundry, and Messrs. Clayton and Goodfellow, Park-road, received notice that on and after the 2nd and 4th of February next those earning 25e. per week will have their reduced Is. per week. The earnings of the rest wages be for the present interfered with. On Thurs day evening a meeting of the Amalgamated Engineers was held at their club-room, when the whole question was entered into and deliberately considered and die cussed. Eventually • resolution was agreed to, to the effect that if the employers persisted in making the reduc tion proposed, the operatives would as a body refuse to work more than four days per week so long as that reduc tion was kept in operation. The iron-moulder also met at their club-room the same night, arid pulsed a resolution similar in its effect to that adopted by the Amalgamated Engineers. The latter form part of the National Amalga mated Engineers, who are said to have an accumulated fund of 120,0001. for the defence of their body, while the iron-moulder are said to have a fund of 300001. for • like object, so that all feel certain of support should a strike result. It is calculated that there are from 4,000 to 4,500 men engaged in the iron trades of Blackburn and district, whose average earnings are about 2is. per week, though • majority of the artisans get 325. THE SUCCESSOR OF HEAD CENTRE STEPHENS. The New York papers give the following account of the successor of Stephens :—" General Gleason, the successor of Stephens, is a young Irishman, remarkable for his tall stature. He Ix about six feet six inches in height, slightly stooped, and has just entered his 28th year. He was born in Fuihmoy, near Borrisoleigh, in the county of Tipperary, and from his early youth he was connected with the insur rectionary movements in his native country. In the year le6o, during the Italian war, he raised a company of one hundred and nine men to defend the Papal dominions, and was complimented fur his bravery in action by General Lamoriciere. Subsequently he was taken prisoner at the siege of Ancona by the Sardinian troops, and released after a captivity of six months. Ho then returned to Ireland, and on the day he arrived in his native town the sheriff of the county dispossessed him of his estate, his lease having expired. Subsequently he came to New York, and at the beginning of the war joined the 69th Regiment, and parti cipated in forty-two general engagements of that °rpm's tier). On his return he joined the Fenian Brotherhood, and went back to Ireland on a special mission • but while there he was arrested for ' treason,' and lodged in the Mountjoy Prison, Dublin, where he was incarcerated for six months. He Mlle back to New York immediately after his release, and was a prominent member of the Brotherhood up to the moment of his appointment as its chief. During his career in the army of the Potomac, as an officer of the 69th Regiment, he received the rank of brevet brigadier-general." FENIAN DENUNCIATION OF HEAD CENTRE STEPHINH. —Lad night • meeting was held at the Masonic. hall, in Thirteenth-street, avowedly for the purpose of denouncing the Head Centre of the Fenian Brotherhood, but really for the purpose of supporting Mr. Roberts. The hall was crowded to suffocation. Mr. James Mona han was called to the chair. He said that he knew no more of the object of the meeting than what he saw in the public prints. He thought it very proper that the moat gigantic, unparalleled and wicked fraud ever perpe trated should be denounced, and that the perpetrator should be held up to public acorn. Colonel Byrnes was then introduced, who denounced Ste. phens as a trickster, and assured his andienoe that if they would only stick to Roberts, Canada would be in their possession before another year had passed. A gentleman from the West said that all at tempts to carry the war into Ireland before taking Canada would be futile, and that those who desired to bring the Irish peasant into contact with the trained British moldier were guilty of • grievous wrong. All their energies must be given to stirring up discord in England, and preparing an army here for an invasion of Canada. Mr. Archdeacon said that he had only lately arrived from Ireland, and he assured them that gigantic as were the frauds practised hers, they were nothing to what had been done in Ireland. He believed the whole of the Fenian leaders there to be traitors to the cause, and in the pay of the British govern ment. Men the most incompetent, some of them even imbecile, were at the head of affairs. All th e F en i an brotherhood had to hope for lay in themselves. The meet ing, which was a very disorderly one, broke up at a late hour. —. New York Tints, Jan. L% CHL'IfER CV P. Ivl Intelligence.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL Cooar.—Monday, Jan. M. EQUITY COURTS.—JAR. 26. (Before the Lord Chanoellor and Lord Justice Turner.) THOMPSON T. HUDSON. - The facts of this case have already appeared In our columns. The court gave judgment to-day. It was an appeal from the Muter of the Iloilo, in • matter relating to the litigation between the York and North Midland Railway Company and the well-known Mr. George Hud son. In the . year 1853 three decrees were made in dif ferent suits, in each of which the above railway company was plaintiff and Mr. Hudson defendant. Two of the de crees directed certain accounts to be to ken, and by the third the defendant was directed to pay 54,5901. to the company on or before August, 1854, of which he was to pay into court 20,0001. on the first day of Hilary term, and the remainder on the tint day of Raster term fol lowing. Subsequently an agreement was entered into, under which Mr. Hudson was to execute • mortgage to the company of a freehold estate called Newby-park, which he had recently agreed to sell to Lord Downs for 190,0001., for securing to them 50,000/. sad 1,0001. with interest. This agreement was embodied in a formal deed, but Hudson made default in the per formance of some of the terms, and the question was whether the railway company could enforce against the defendant the payment of the whole of the original balance, or whether they were only entitled to be paid the smaller sum. The Master of the Rolls had sup ported the latter contention. The Lord Chancellor inclined to the opinion entertained by the Muter of the Rolls ; but, Lord Justice Turner was of opinion that the decision of the court below should be reversed, with • slight mo dification as to the time of taking some of the accounts. The result is that the decree of the court below stands affirmed subject to such modification. The Attorney-General, Mr. Jeasel, Sir R. Palmer, Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Jackson, Mr. W. W. Cooper, and Mr. limns= appeared for the several parties. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.—JAN. 26. (Before Lord Chief Baron Kelly, Justices Blackburn, Willes, and Keating, aad Mr. Baron Pigott.) THE QUEEN V. GEEENIJJM. The defendant, who was the manager of the Leedsßank ing Company (Limited), was convicted in October last, at the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Baron Pigott, of perjury committed by him in an affidavit made under the provisions of the act to enable bankers to use certain un stamped promissory notes and bills of exchange upon the payment of a composition in lieu of the stamp duties thereon. The defendant was in the receipt of 3,1100/. per annum, with twelve clerks under his control. On the trial three objections were taken-Ist. That the affidavit was not made before the person empowered to take it, but should have been made before a justice of the peace. 2nd. That the defendant was not the proper person to make the affidavit, he not being a cashier, accountant, or chief clerk, according to the words of the act. And :(rd. That there should have been evidence given that the commis sioners of stamps expressly required the affidavit of a cashier, accountant, or chief clerk, in ad dition to that of the persons empowered to issue bills and notes. The learned baron overruled the objections, and directed the jury that the prisoner was proved to he a chief clerk sufficient for the purposes of the statute, and that the evidence which showed that the commissioners had for years received and acted upon the affidavits of the prisoner, as manager or chief clerk, was sufficient to show that they required an affidavit of every requirement where necessary. The jury found the pri soner guilty. If the court should be of opinion that either of the objections was good in point of law, the prisoner was to be discharged ; otherwise, if the verdict was to stand. he was to come up for judgment at the next meeting of the court. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the crown ; Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh for the prisoner. The court held that the conviction was good. The AM. davit had been made before a proper person. A manager or secretory of a company was nothing mom than &chief clerk, and the defendant was a person quali fied to make the required affidavit. Conviction affirmed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JAN. 26. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HAYCOCK (FALSELY CALLED PEATY) T. PEATY. - - After our report left on Saturday, Mr. Samuel Tryan, formerly one of Dr. Taylor's pupils, said that just before Mrs. Peaty went to church to be married she said she thought the whole thing was a trap, and that they were going to poison her at the wedding breakfast. She often accused Mrs. Taylor and wittiest, of stealing things of hers, which things were generally found a few minutes afterwards about her. She told witness Dr. Lee had informed her that marriage was the only cure for her maladies, and she made witness an offer of her hand, which he respectfully declined. (Laughter.) She had several times asked him to elope with her. On the evening before the marriage she was worse than witness had ever seen her before. She said that her marriage was of importance to the whole world and she refused to be married till Mr. Peaty had ordered the menet bells, those at Ken sington, to be rung. Then there was an altercation about reading the communion service to her every night. At first Mr. Peaty seemed inclined to give in ; but he was advised that if he did, he would probably have to give in to her upon a good many other points. Then she got up in a passion, declared that she would not be married at all, and left the room flinging her anus about. Dr. Taylor strongly advised Mr. Peaty nut to marry her at all, or at all events to wait for a month ; but the respondent said he was informed that marriage would cure her, and that her madness arose for her extreme love for him. Tho same evening Mrs. Peaty said that if Robert (respon dent) did not come round,she would marry witness or Dr. Harmer, for married she would be. Once Mr. Peaty asked witness, if he really thought she was mad. Told him that any fool could see it. Her manner at the wed ding was very restless ; and in the vestry she kissed Dr. Harmer, remarking that it was all his fault that he was not the bridegroom. (Laughter.) Mr. Peaty took it very coolly ; and she told him that it did not matter now that they were married. Craw-examined—Went with Mr. Peaty to get the marriage license ; but at that time witness had never given the question a thought whether the marriage of an insane person would be legal. Mrs. James, a sister of the alleged wife, was also examined in support of the petitioner's case. Mrs. Eliza Broom, at whose house the parties had lived after the marriage, also gave corroboratory evidence. On one occasion Mrs. Peaty had locked her husband in the thawing-room all night. Dr. Spinks said the case was one of the most singular ever brought before a court of justice. The respondent had had no pecuniary inducement whatever in marrying hie wife ; for she wax entirely dependent upon an uncle, who disapproved of the match. There could therefore be but one solution of the matter, namely, that Mr. Peaty had married Miss Hancock from love, and he now resisted the petition because he had sworn at the altar to protect her es long as she lived. He abe learned doctor) might not perhaps be able to contend that at the time of the marriage Miss Hancock was of sufficient capacity to make a will ; but it would be enough to show that she was of capacity to give consent; for, according to the old maxim, "consensus tacit connubium." Moreover, everything was to be presumed in favour of marriage. There were many things "que non fieri debent, sed facts valent" For ex ample, the marriage of minors might be solemnised with out various necessary consents, and yet the marriage once done would be good. In the present case everything tended to show that Miss Hancock was perfectly able to give her consent. As the court had been told, the parties were engaged in 18:a, but the affair had been broken off by the intervention of Mr. Han cock, the uncle. In 1863 Miss Hancock, while staying at Dr. Taylor's,was taken to consult that eminent phy sici an. Dr. Robert Lee, who advised her that marriage would probably cure her, and she thereupon wrote the following note to Mr. Petty:—" 64, Queen's-road, Bayswater, 17th July, 1863. My Cousin,—l know quite well that you will be pleased to hear of my progress since leaving Chad well-street. My head, which you know was then rather weak from over-exertion and many causes, is greatly im proved, and my health altogether. Still, lately, even in this very hot weather, I have feelings as if I were encased with ice. Having no particular ambition of becoming an animated iceberg, I applied, by uncle Thomas's very kind permission, to Dr. Lee, and was relieved to bear from him that there was no disease whatever—only disordered functions. He positively told Dr. Taylor, with whom I am at present stopping, that he should advise (if I were engaged) marriage as an establishment of the cure. I need hardly tell you how perfectly I coincide with this very good advice, and as Dr. Taylor has silenced my scruples with regard to our relationship being any hindrance to this step, if you are still perfectly disengaged and perfectly free, I shall be moat harpy to see you here, and lam sure Dr. Taylor also. I shall be haply to hear any proposals you may make me, and thanking you for your uniform kindness to me at all times, I remain, my dear cousin, yours very affectionately, 111 A. liaecie Dr. Spinks also read a series of letters which Miss Han cock had written to the respondent between the ; i coherent y re engagement and sensible andthe marriage.doc documents , anThel w ere r t man contended, therefore, that Mr. Peaty bad not only I acted moat honourably in the matter, but that in marry- ing his wife he had the best reason in the world for be lieving that she would be restored to perfect health. In the first instance that hope had not been realised, but great harm bad been done to Mrs. Peaty by the manner in which she had been moved from asylum to asylum by her family, who had even gone so far as to allow her to be subjected to a gross and barbarous operation which it was certainly most improper to have done without the con- sent of her husband. At length Mr. Peaty placed her in St. Luke's 'respite], from which she was discharged relieved, and she was now living happily with her husband. She was perfectly sane, and was as much opposed to the petition as he was. Cases of the present kind were very rare ; and he might add that he knew of no previous one in which there was not some taint of fraud. The Judge•Advoaite observed that as there was no suggestion of pecuniary motive on the part of the respondent, and as there could be but one object on both sides, namely, that this unfortunate lady should be pro perly taken care of, it would be most desirable that a private arrangement should be come to. If it should turn out that after the lapse of a few years her health should be re-established, there could not be the slightest possible objection to her living as the wife of Mr. Peaty. The Queen's-Advocate said be could not do more at present than say that before Wednesday he would lay. the suggestion of the court before his clients. Sir J. Wilde—Of course not. Dr. Spinka said the course recommended by his lordship had been suggested long ago by his client. He must, how ever, submit to the court that, as Mr. Peaty was only a clerk in the Bank at 250 f. a year, and as he had to meet the combined resources of a wealthy family, it would be a serious inconvenience to him to have the case needlessly adjourned. Dr. Robert Lee wee then examined, and he fully con firmed what had been said of the advice he had given. He had lately seen the lady, and she appeared to him to have perfectly recovered. He desired to state that he had never given the slightest sanction to the operation of clitori dectomy upon her. The case was then adjourned till Wednesday. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION•HOUSE. Jolts Ckgg surrendered before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having feloniously received a large quantity of wool that had been stolen from the warehouse of Marrs. Gooch and Cozen', wool warehousemen, in High-street, Aldgate. Mr. Sleigh appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and Mr. W. Cooper for the prisoner. It will he recollected that in consequence of information received by Foulger and Smith, two City detective officers, they went to a warehouse in H►lf-Moon-street, Bishops gate, where the prisoner was employed as foreman to a Mr. Stocker, a rag merchant and paper manufacturer, and enquired if he had any wool upon the premises, and he stated positively that he had not. The officers afterwards made a search, and found more than a ton weight of wool in a portion of the premises belonging to a person named Butler, and the prisoner claimed this wool, and said it had been deposited with him by Mr. Stocker as security for the repayment of a sum of 100/., which be had advanced to him. Kr. Sleigh now stated that although the circumstances were suspicious he was not in a condition to give any evi dence that the wool found in the warehouse of the prisoner was identical with that stolen from the prosecutors, and as, in the absence of such evidence, there was not the slightest chance of • conviction, he should, with the sanction of the Lord Mayor, withdraw from the charge. The prisoner WAS consequently diricharged. Mr. Cooper caked that the wool might be restored to the prisoner, but the Lord Mayor declined to interfere ; and Foulger, the &hoer, said that it was the intention of the police authorities to retain the property until further inquiries could be made.

COTTON 000DS.-141,,xeirEsvee, JAN. 2& —The mar ket for cotton yarn and cloth has been depressed, with • downward tendency in prices during the greater part of the week. Spinners and manufacturers, being mostly losers on production even at last week's rates, have endea voured to resist the downward tendency, but the position of some of them leaves less liberty of action than that of others. Those who have still unfinished orders which were taken at higher rates than are now current are more or less able to assume an independent position, while others have stocks and are obliged to press them on the market. The consequence is great irregularity, so that the same counts and qualities of yarn are offering at a difference of 1:d. per lb. In cloth there is also much the same irregu larity, and buyers who are making large offers at low prices occasionally find ready sellers by persevering inqui ries, when other manufacturers have declined business with them. There is evidently over-production. WOOLLEN.—LEEDs, JAN. N.—There has been a small attendance of buyers at the cloth halls this morning. The foggy state of the atmosphere has prevented transactions taking place in light fancy fabrics, the coloured hall being almost enveloped in darkness during the early part of the morning. Few parcels have changed hands, excepting in plain cloths ; tweeds have been iu nominal request, and the fancy coating department has also been in she same position. The white market, although showing some alight improvement upon the coloured hall, has been quiet; in sonic few instances tolerably good parcels have been made in the finer qualities of hairlists, though the aggregate amount of business transacted in this market has not been large. Prices have been well maintained. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, JAN. 26. —The wool trade during the past week has been characterised by great inactivity. The buoyancy of a few of the earliest markets in the north has quite disappeared. The more active demand, so apparent and so inspiriting as to the future, seems to have been already exhausted. The trins actions in wool have been on a very restricted scale. Sellers have been more numerous than buyers. Wools ot very choice quality and very small in quantity, still required by spinners for their completion of contracts, have maintained their value with firmness ; but, speaking gene rally, quotations have fallen about 10s. per pack from the extreme rates lately current. The same quietness is ap parent in the other branches of the trade. In worsted yarns, both home and export, buyers have done less busi ness, their operations being restricted to their immediate and pressing necessities. Spin • . rs, who still remain well employed, are indisposed to make any concession, but those who are not in want of orders will accept them at a frac tion below the quotations recently current. In goods there is little or nothing doing for any quarter. The sluggish ness which has characterised the market in this branch since the opening of the year still prevails. The high rates ot wool and cotton compel the manufacturer to maintain prices. HARDWARE. —BIRM IN.HAY. 26.—The trade of this town is languid ; in no department whatever is the least animation experienced. In the metal trades generally business is slack ; such is the case with respect to the Tthe edge-tool makers, and tin-plate workers. The factors concur in reporting that the country shop keepers are buying very sparingly, and the orders they are giving out are confirmatory of this. In the foreign de partment very little change has occurred of late; the ten dency is still in the direction of improvement with respect to the German trade, but as to Italy, France, and the Levant and Mediterranean markets, business is dull. To the United States a good amount is being done. CORN.-CAMBIttriCE, J.N. 26.-We had a good supply of all corn to-day, and to effect sales lower prices had to he subedited to.
