Hoare, an elderly man, was charged with frond o a . e t ., ry extraordinary circumstances. m e . Mardi, solicitor for the prosecution, stated the case. on the bah of July, 1866, the prisoner was engaged by ig e . IV. Drake, of Chapel-street, Westminster, boot and shoemaker. as an aaustant, and it was part of bas im.iness to sell goods in the shop. There were s tated prices for everthing—amonget them 9a. for blucher w o e...m.l' l s. for lace-ups. The fraud complained of was that the The exceeded these prices and pocketed the n ern . The effect of this was most injurious to both em- I ,loyer Anil customer. Me. Ilrake said he had had .10 complaints of over-charge of o ,..leseription. His business had fallen off very much tbrov4h Dlr. 1:a11 proved buying a palv of boots of the prisoner About the end of last month for 9.. p r i„, n ,r slit that that was quite correct. He hail often charged more than ffs. for the boots, but that was not for the woe clams of goods as Mr. Drake had spoken of ; it for misfits, or boots made to order t ha t bad never lwen leeched. Mr. Drake denied that such was the case. Another witness was called, who deposed to buying • cf hoots at prosecutor's for 9e. 6d. Prisoner said that he had accounted for all the money be received. Mr. Drake declares! most positively that be had not. l'roceutor's books were produced but there was no catty what the sums were for. Thomas l'ottingbani, foreman to Mr. Drake's father. Whitechapel-road, coach-maker, gave prisoner a good character. he also said that if the boots were large sized (tens) the price was extra. Prosecutor said that in the two cases now brought for tord the sizes were 6 and 8. Mr. Arnold said the ease was one full of difficulty, and je .,, a mled prisoner for a week on his own recognisiiNces. SOUTHWARK. THE compol:Nti Not sZNOLDLIt QUESTION. lEditaht //ward, a respectable mechanic, inhabiting a auiall tenement in Market-street, Borough-read, appeared before Mr. Partridge by adjournment, charged with aseault lug James Stephens, a rent collector. Mr. Chippertiel.l appeared for the prosecution ; and IP% Hicklin for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence that the complainant was engNed by Mr. Lindfield, the landlord's agent, to collect the rents of the houses in Market-street, and on the evening of the Pith ult. he called on defendant and demanded 10s. dd.. 10s. being for two weeks' rent, and the 31. for the accruing rates. The defendant objected to pay the Litter, and as he had paid Bs. 2d. poor rate be asked that to lie deducted. They then got to words, and the de fendant pushed the other out of the house, and hence the assault complained of. In crou-examination 17 Mr. Ificklin, witness acid that the door was opened to ham by a child ? and the defendant ' called out " walk in," and asked bin, , f he had come for the rent. He told him ho had, when defendant pulled eat a receipt for poor rates amounting to be. 2d., but he did not otter him the Is. 10d. difference. Witness told him he would have to pay 2s. ld. difference, as there was 31. extra for future rates. The defendant then got in a passion, and told him to leave the house, and as he was doing so he unstilted him. Before be did that the defendant acid he should arrange with his landlord about the rates, when witness told him be had no occasion to trouble himself, as he had ai:anged with his wife and all the tenants on the previous week. In answer to Mr. Partridge witness said that all tenants st :is. a week and under world pay :id. a week extra, and all over .Ile. to 10c, 6d. a week in addition to the rant, for future rates. Mr. Pctridge asked if the occupiers were on the rate- Looks ? - - itness did not know about that, but he knew that the landlord paid all the rates in a lump thereby rasing the parish some trouble in collecting the rates. The tenants were all aware of that. For the defence Mr. Hicklin said that all his client wanted was to see his landlord before he paid the rent. He told the complainant so, when the got in a passion and refused to leave the house. The defendant then merely put him out. Mr. Partridge observed that ail the tenants had a right to be rated and have their names duly entered in the rate.books. He considered it vesj unfair of the landlords of these small tenements in raising the rents for a future tax. The act speeiges that the occu p,^ra shall pay the rates themselves, and if there is no other agreement leduct the same from the rent. The defendant most likely was of that opinion and *allied his name put on the register—hence the r;sturbance. Under r'l the circumstances he believed that the complainant rasa as much to blouse as the other, consequently he dis missed the oompla'ut. WANDSWORTII. RAFFLING. Sergeant Hirrest, of the W division, app' ed to Mr. Barna°, the sitting magistrate, for a summons against • licensed victualler for permitting a raffle to take place in b;s house fora pig. Mr. Dayman inquired under what act the sergeant pro ceeded. He was not aware that a raffle could be con sidered an act of gaming. The sergeant said he was instructed to take out the semmotue for an offence contrary to the tams of the license. Mr. Dayman said that would be for permitting gaming. lie doubted whether a raffle came under that, for it was not a game of any kind. There was no skill in a raffle, nor did one man stake money against that of another. He then asked the sergeant whether he re membered any conviction for a raffle. Look at Christmas time, there were I..fflee for geese and other things. Sergeant Harvest said he understood there was • con viction for holding • sweepstakes. Mr. layman said were sweepstakes to be considere d riming 1 tie sergeant then told the magistrate that the police wereacting upon the complaint of the Hon. Mr. Wrotteidey, one of the county justices, who bad received idol -nation treat there was • great deal of gambling going on in that neighbourhood. The clerk was flaked whether he remembered any con viction for permitting a r a ffle, w h en b e replied in the negative. tie maid there had been convictions for card play lug. Mr. Dayman thought raffles were in reality lotteries. He then looked into several casco, but he was unable to find one bearing upon the complaint. 1:1t 4 utely the meg:strata said the sergeant could have the 1110110101111, but he would have to prove the cue. The sergeant thanked the magistrate, end took out the 1011141011/. LIFEBOAT SERVICE. ABERDOVEY, NORTH WALES, WEDNISDAL The schooner Jane Sophia, of Aberystwith, from Newport to this place with coals, attempted the bar last right before the tide served (says Mr. Dierid Williams of her Majesty's Customs), and struck on the South Bank. It was blowing rely strongly from the N.N.W., and a heavy sea was running at the time. A pilot boat, which 124 gone as near as possible to the schooner, found that she could reader no assistance on account of the very high sea, and therefore returned here for the Royal Berkshire lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution. The boat was promptly launched, and proceeded down to leeward of the veamel, which was found to be very leaky from her continued and heavy thumping on the sands, and sy,s likely to break up before long. As, however, there au a seri high tide, it INS determined to try and get her off. and, after effecting a communication, seven men were pa on board, nail was made, and, after some difficulty, the vessel was got off the bank, and, with her crew, taken into the harbour.

PEDESTRIAN FEATS IN AMERICA. Weston, the pedestrian, arrived at Chicago, the end of his toilsome journey, on the 28th ult. As early as 7 o'clock in the morning crowds of people commenced pouring out to the southern limits. He reached the junction of Twenty-second-street and Wabash-avenue about 10 o'clock, three miles from his hotel. His march down the avenue was a perfect ovation. Evcry public and private carriage in the city, express waggons, drays and omnibuses loaded with people, blocked up the street., and for the entire distance the sidewalks were filled with a mass of people so dense that motion was almond impossible. The windows of the residences were crowded with ladies, who greeted him along the entire route by waving handkerchiefs, to which the crowds in the street responded with hearty cheers, Weston bowing his acknowledgments. In spite of the efforts of the police Weston was fairly car vied into the hotel on the shoulders of the crowd. He then made his appearance on the balcony, holding his little girl in his arms and a beautiful bouquet given him by the ladies, and received a hearty round of cheers. In the afternoon Weston appeared at the Opera-house. He was to remain in the city two weeks, during which time be will attempt the feat of walking 100 miles on the Dexter Park Course. The Ch leafy.) TrilAtne publishes the following:—" To the Editor of the Chfrago Tribune.—As pedestrianism is the rage, and one Y. Church has made a proposition, I will also make one. My proposition is this : I will take Mr. Weston's back track and perform the journey to Portland on my hands and knees—that is, walk or crawl, as you wish to call it, in 200 working days, the intervening Sundays to be at my own option ; provided there are 30,000 dollars raised for me, to be disposed of in this wise : I. Ten thousand dollars to the Orphan Asylum of Chicago, if there is one ; if not to found one. 2. That I receive five thousand dollars the day before I star t, to pay expenses of outfit and family. 3. That I re ceive five thousand dollars when I arrive at Buffalo. 4. That I receive the remaining tea thousand dollars when I arrive at Portland, provided I arrive there within said time. If Ido not get there in time, then I shall receive but five thousand more, and the other five thousand shall be added to the orphan fund. I will start in fifteen drys after the funds are raised and properly secured.'-0. N. Woon, No. 144, West Twelfth street." To this she editor append. the following note : " We have a better proposition than the above from another man, who wishes to walk all the way to Portland on his hands alone, for half the money that the above correspondent demands. We are expecting to receive to morrow another letter from still another individual, pro posing to roll to Portland." COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (THIS DAY.) (BY TZLEGR4PII.)

ROYAL IRISH CONSTABULARY. —One hundred and fifty breech-loading carbines (converted from the En field rifle) have lately arrived at the depot.

SERGEANT KZLLY.—Sergeant Kelly has almost quite recovered from the wound which nearly proved fatal, and it is expected he will be able to leave the hos pital in a few days. —Dahlia Evening Mail. DRESSILS AT DIEPPE.—Take all the fashion-plates that have been issued during the last six or eight months, 1 whether in Paris or London, cut out the figures, end set them up on end before you, and I fearlessly and truth fully assert that you would not see fashions so outrageously grotesque as those that were passing before my eyes at the Rtablissement of Dieppe, at this, the daily promenade. To attempt to describe them would be for me futile ; a court milliner could not do it. They were new to the world—of a style that had not been worn in our days. Short robes with two skirts, the under one in vandykes, the upper one of marvellous cuts and angles, that the eye could not understand in a day's gaze. Long robes a queue, very ugly '• or with sweeping trains, very elegant. Satin petticoats trailing the gravel, embroidered white muslin skirts flowing over them. Some of the toilettes were beau tiful, some hideous ; • few were white, others comprised all the colours of the rainbow. Look at mademoiselle there ! She is twenty-seven, if she's a day, and she is dressed es lidie. A pretty white muslin frock, with a little flounce ; a short-waisted full bodice, in gathers ; simple sleeves, tied up ; no crinoline, a white satin sash tied be hind, and low black shoes, with large bows : all exactly as we should dress a baby. It makes mademoiselle look fif teen, at the moat ; and the little hat, perched on the fore part of the head, resting on the nose, partially hides the face, and keeps up tho delusion. See mademoiselle's cousin, a young lady of twenty or so. A young lady ! Up go the eye-gismos, for it looks like a harlequin coming along. A short costume of indescribable shape—neither a gown, nor a coat, nor • cloak, nor a frock ; somethieg composed of loops, and ends, and fullings, and pockets,and tails ; the colours black, and blue, and white, and yellow, and red ; bronze boots, coining half-way up the leg, tassels at the calves, heels three inches high, not placed where heels should be, but nearly in the middle of the foot; a jaunty little sailor's hat, on the eyebrows as usual, with red streamers behind, and • little red animal on the brim in front. And so mademoiselle sails along, for the ad miring benefit of all beholders. Who is this, in blue and silver? An elegant woman, in a delicate blue silk train and jacket, garnished with silver ; small silver flowers in her hair, by way of bonnet ; and a parasol that looks like • blue-and-silver butterfly. There goes one, all brown, from hat to boots—that peculiar shade we are taught to call Bismarck =dada. Following her is a costume of white and black. Behind comes a demure little figure in grey, who has been pleased to discard crinoline entirely ; she consequently gets more than her share of gven'', and is in all probability English. Is it • school- g i r l of tour teen, is short frocks yet? No, it is • woman who has been married these ten years, and hes girls at school her self.—Argosg for December. SHARE LISTS-(THIS DAY.)

The English funds are steady, at the improve ment of yesterday, and foreign bonds are firmer. Home railway stocks, however, have again given way, upon additional sales. The speculators for a fall have been emboldened to enter into fresh transactions by an increase in the supply of floating stock, together with the absence of any satisfactory information with regard to the financial position of most of our leading lines. Financial and banking shares have been very little dealt in, and show no variation apart from a reduction of 11. in Bank of England, viz., to 241 to 243. The attention of the dealers is still directed to preparations for the fortnightly settlement to-morrow. The discount market is quiet, but the lowest quotation for bills is lE to 2 per cent. Advances for a few days, on English government securities, are in request in the Stock Exchange at per cent. Consols are quoted 924 to 93, ex div., for money, and 93 to t, ex div., for the account (January 7). The New Three per Cents. and Three per Cents. Reduced are firm, at 921 to 93. Railway stocks have declined, the dealings show ing a preponderance of sales. The reduction ranges from to 1 per cent., the principal movement being in Metropolitan, Caledonian, and Great Northern. Annexed are the prices Metropolitan, 114& to 1154 ; Great Western, 444 to ; London and North Western, 1144 to 2 ; Mid land, 1104 to 111 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 123 to 4 ; Caledonian, 74 to 4 ; South Eastern, 67 to ; Great Eastern, 301 to 31; Great Northern, 1074 to 1084 ; ditto A, 1101 to 1 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 18L' to ; North British, 321 to 331; Brighton, 511 to ; Berwick, 99; to 100 ; and York and North Midland, 94 to 95. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have improved per cent —viz., to 62 to 63 ; and Spanish Passive New Three per Cents. and Certificates, as well as Italian of 1861, are tot better. The quotations are as follows :—Turkish of 1865, 33f to j ; Greek, 121 to 13; Spanish Passive, 254 to ; ditto New Three per Cents., 34 to 36 ; ditto Certificates, 19.1 to ; Italian of 1861, 45; to ; Egyptian of 1864, 83 to 4 . ; and Mexican, 151 to 16. United States 5-20 Bonds are in request, and have advanced par cent.-.-viz., to 712 to 72, owing to a further fall in the premium on gold at New York. Erie Railway shares are called 48 to ; and Illinois Central, 89 to 4, being steady. Atlantic cable shares are inactive. Anglo-Ame rican, 181 to i; and Atlantic Telegraph right per Cent. Preference, 4 to 41. Bank shares are quiet, with few transactions. London and Westminster are quoted 69 to 70 ; Alliance, 11 to 10 dis. ; Imperial Ottoman, 1 to Of dis. ; Oriental Corporation, 424 to 434 ; London and County, 541 to 534 ; and Union of London, 36 to 37. The market for financial shares is inanimate, but International Financial are 2s. Gd. higher, at 21 to 2 dis. ; Loudon Financial, 221 to 211 dis. ; Ge neral Credit, 21 to 2 die. ; and Credit Funcier, si, to 61 die. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Yates and Corkling, commission merchants, held yester day, at Manchester, the liabilities were (stated at 28,3071., and assets at 7,3561. It was resolved to accept a composition of 6s. in the pound. The trade losses of the firm were estimated to exceed 50,0001. With reference to the ISoci4t4 Generalen'ile I'Empire Ottoman ; it is notified thatthe Coupon of interest No. 3 of Six per A Cent., for the year 1867 upon the 81. per share 'paid, and amounting to P. 52.5600, will be paid at Constantinople, on the 2nd of January. A petition for the winding up of the London Flour Company (Limited) is to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Stuart on the 20th inst. Creditors of the China Steamship and Labnan Coal Company (Limited), resident in Europe, are required to send particulars of their claims to Mr. J. B. Gibbons, one of the liquidators, by the let of January, and those resident elsewhere by the let of June. The general meeting of the Bahia Steam Navi gation Company will be held on the 20th inst. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. Consols and foreign bonds are without alteration, but some of the railway stocks, including Metro politan and Caledonian, exhibit a recovery of to if per cent. South Eastern is better. . . . Little notice seems to have been attracted to the statement amongst the'foreign telegrams a day or two ago that the Egyptian Government has refused to pay the tribute to Turkey, upon the plea that it has a set-off on account of the expenses of the Egyptian troops who were employed in putting down the insurrection in Crete. The source or the statement is believed to be a Russian one. Sup posing that there are grounds for it, it may possibly relate to the additional tribute of Z. 1,000/. per annum which the Egyptian ruler agreed, by a convention entered into last year, to pay to the Sultan, in consideration of the succession to the vice-royalty being made hereditary in his family, combined with other privileges. Any irregularity, if only temporary, in meeting the dividends on the Turkish Loan of 1854, which has a special and first lien upon the 280,000!., being the original amount of the Egyptian tribute (and which funds are remitted direct from Alexandria to London for the service of that loan, without passing through the hands of Turkish officials), would have so prejudicial an effect upon the credit of Egypt itself, that no room is left to suppose any thing of this kind. Probably it is only a question of the adjustment of some accounts between the two governments. A consideration of more im portance is perhaps the effect which the withhold ing of any funds expected from Egypt may have upon the general position of the Turkish treasury, and upon its ability to meet the engagements im mediately accruing. Upon this point it is satisfac tory to be able to refer to &statement in the .Lturtnt Herald of the 20th ult. (and reproduced by us on the 29th), that, owing to the conclusion of a loan negotiation for a sum of 2,000,000/. at Constantinople, the January coupon on the Turkish 5 per cent. General Debt has been " placed beyond all chance of disappointment." With regard to the forciyn debt of Turkey, we gave on the 26th ult. an official memorandum announc ing that the agencies of the Imperial Ottoman Bank in London and Paris had then "received nearly the whole of the funds required for the dividends and sinking funds due next January on the foreign debt of Turkey." About 30,0C9/. in bar gold was taken from the Bank yesterday for the continent. Since the date or the last return 220,C301. has been wiJulrawn, and only 11,0001. sent in. The demand for exportation has diminished, but further moderate sums may be taken from the Bank in the absence of supplies from Australia and elsewhere. The steamer Roman, for the Cape of Good Hope, has taken out 30,000!. in specie. The Bangalore, for Bombay, has only 1,000!. in gold. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 3,033!. over I last year ; the Midland an increase of 4,0741.: the Great Northern an increase of 7551. ; the Great Eastern an increase of 1,621/. ; and the Great Western an increase of 8561. The traffic return of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 23rd ult. shows an increase of 393/. over the corresponding period of 1866. 1 11 A 1 100, 1 20,000 61 15,000; 10 22,000 20,000' 5 15,505 15 T6,1U8 !!‘-- ie,64 i . , 00! 4b,000 66.000 so,ood 80,00% 10, 100.000 - ii:i•ii 76,80! 100,000 1 11,000 00 64176 $0 60,030 10,000 10 6,000 1* 00,000 I 60,000 1 TONo 46,000 S V taCELLANI iN 0.

The preparati , ns yesterday for to-morrow's est tlement in the railway market showed a generally limited supply of stock, indicating still a prepon derance of speculative operations for a fall, yet the pressure for stuck was len than on the last occa sion. From this fact on. or all of three inferenoes may be drawn—fl), the public have sold stock on balance ; or (2p, the outstanding speculation for a fall has been reduced in amount by repur chases; or (3), a number of speculative opera tions for higher prices have been entered into, ais against the " bear" account, the effect of whisk latter is thus partially neutralised. The scarcest stock was again Caledonian ; but whereas a " back wardation" or bonus of 11. Ga. to it. los. per cent. was given at the but settlement for the loan of it, the " backwanlatiou" yesterday dues not appear is have exceeded lid., and its tendency at the close was rather to become lighter than heavier. Metropolitan stuck was scarce in the morning, and 4to per cent. " backwardation" was given, but the rate changed to "even" terms in the afternoon. Midland and Laneasitire and Yorkshire were also wanted for delivery ; and Great Northern "A" stock, after earrytng" contango," was more L wanted at the last.

Satterthwaite and Co.: Since our last the London market for American securi ties has been mainly affected by 'potations per toleg from New York of prices of gold and government Moe ; to-day, however, although gold was reported lower, them bas not been a corresponding advance, owing to some con siderable isles on continental account.
