LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF ADMIRALTY, THE NEW JtDGL Sir Robert Phillimore sat for the first time, as J u d ge o f the Court of Admiralty, and disposed of a great number of motions in Chambers, and upwards of thirty in which ruvunl mireared. His lordship sat in Chambers at West. uric tsar on the :kith ult., and appointed to sit in court to h. Ar counsel on the same day, but as his patent had not n completed. he could not take his seat, and the matter goed over until this day. A considemble number of counsel attended the court. THR AMAZON AND THR OSPREY. Mr. Pritchard moved in this matter for an order for pay ment for a port of the cargo on board the Osprey, which was down by her Majesty's ship Amazon. Both vessels, it sill he recollected, were sunk, and on an appeal to the Judicial Comntittee their lordships held that the Amazon WM solely to blame. _ The liarned counsel (Mr. Pritchanl) reminded his lord ship of the facts of the case, and said there was no opposi tion to the application for the portion of the cargo for which the suit was brought. The application was unopposed. His Lonlship granted the application for the payment. I )rder accordingly. MIDDLESEX BEt3SIONEL (THIS DAY.) PRESENTMENT HT THE GRAND JURT. On presenting the last batch of bills, the foreman of the grand jury said he was desired by his brother jurymen to represent to the court that it was their unanimous opinion that grand juries in the metropolitan districts should be abolished, and that many of the trifling caws, such as stealing 6d. and Is. 6d. might have been disposed of by the committing magistrate% They were of opinion that there should be en alteration of the law to effect this object. The Judge said the magistrate had already power to deal with cases of not more than to. in value, but in some instances, although the sum stolen was small, the prisoners were old offenders, and the magistrate had no power to pass a sentence of penal servitude, which perhaps the offence deserved. That would account for prisoners being sent for trial, although thi offence with which they stood ch►rged might be small in amount. He thanked the jury for their services and they retired. -- - - (Before Mr. Payne: Depot; Aetistant-Judge.) THZ INQCIRY Donor AGAIN. • • Frrderick Afon -y, 17, was indicted for stealing a silver watch and guard, value 2/. 10s. the property of Willi a m Park, from his person. He pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor is s tailor residing at Willow-walk, Westminster ; be said—On the 14th August be was sitting OD one of the benches in the Green-park, when the prisoner came to him, and in the politest manner asked him if he would tell him what time it was. Prosecutor pulled out his watch for the purpose of doing so when the prisoner snatched it from him, broke it from the button-hole and ran away. He pursued him and caught him when he re turned the watch to him. Edward Ilillham 646 A , said he received the prisoner into his custody. In answer to the charge he said, " I only took his watch to compare it with ' Big Ben ' to see if it was right." (Laughter.) Without bearing the summing-up, the jury found the prisoner Quite. Sentence, twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKENV7ELL THE ("FUROR OF STEALING ON! HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS. Ellen Rice, aged 29, was charged on remand with steal ing 100 sovereigns from a box in a room at 54, Barnsbury road, Islington, the property of Mr. Joseph Tr o u fi a t, a chemist and dr uggist. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner bad cohabited with the prosecutor for some years, and she bad had one child by him. Last week he placed 100 'ova. in gold in a box under his bed, and then went out for a walk. On his return be found that his money was gone, and that the prisoner was absent. On her return he accused her of taking the money, but she rid that she knew nothing about it. As her child bad told the prosecutor that he had seen the prisoner at the box, he called a constable and gave her in charge. Mr. Ricketta said that every endeavour had been made to discover the money, but without effect. Taking into consideration the relations between the parties ; the fact that the prosecutor was the father of the prisoner's child, and that the prisoner bad been confined in the Howie of Detention for a week the prosecutor did not wish to go further with the charge,and,with the consent of the court, it would be withdrawn. Mr. Cooke said he would allow the course proposed to be adopted, and the prisoner was then disahaiged. WESTMINSTER. TITTABLE CONDITION OP A WIDOWED MOVIE& A very respectable-locking woman, about 30 ran o( age, with an infant in her arms, applied to the magistrate for protection from the violence of her step son, a boy only 15 years of age. Mr. Humphrey., an inspector of the B division of police, said the case was one of an exceedingly flagrant charac ter. The applicant had recently buried her husband, a policeman of that division, and her distress was much aggravated by the disgraceful conduct of the boy in ques tion, towards whom she bad always done the duty of • mother. She bad three children by her husband, and these were all much younger than the boy complained of. Mr. Arnold directed that the applicant should be sworn, and that having been done, inquired what was the last act of violence complained of. Applicant said she was sitting last night ouckling her infant, when he came up to her, knocked her off her chair, and swore he would murder her. His ill-treatment of her was shocking. Mr. Humphreys said he was perfectly uncontrollable, and besides behaving disgracefully at home associated with the worst of characters out of doors. Mr. Arnold immediately granted • warrant for his apprehension. BOITTHWARB. UNPOCIMET) CHARGE OP MONT. Henry Drirer , a very respectable young man, a com positor, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bnrcham, charged with stealing half.a.sovereign, the property of John Nolan. _ The prosecutor said he was an engineer, and resided at No. 5, Lent-street, Borough. Between 4 and 5 on the previous afternoon he was drinking in the Half-way House, Webber-street, Blackfriars, when be sot into conversation the prisoner and two or th ree other men. Witness tigda half-sovereign on the counter to pay for some and while turning round to light his pipe the prisoner snatched it up and walked out of the house with it. Witnem went after him, and asked him to return the half sovereign, when he denied all knowledge of it. A con stable then came up, and he gave him into custody. In answer to the magistrate witness said be was under the influence of liquor, a n d hardly knew what he was about ; but he was sure the prisoner was the man who took his money up, although he did not see him. In cross-examination by the prisoner, he said that he bad been betting with some men in the public-house ; but be did not know what it was about. Sergeant Greenfield, 17 L, said that he weaselled to take the prisoner into custody. The prosecutor was under the influence of liquor, sad be persuaded him to go home. Witness had made inquiries about the transaction and it was hie opinion that there was no pretence for charging him with the felony. The prosecutor made bets with some strange men and lost his money that way. Mr. Burcham expressed his regret that the prisoner should have been locked-up on such a charge, as there was not the slightest pretence for it. He ordered him to be immediately discharged. WANDSWORTH. DESERTION OP • NORSE CHILD. A working man, who waa accompanied by a genteel looking boy, six years of age, entered the court and pre sented a letter to the magistrate, who, upon reading it, said he was very sorry for him, but he could not help him. In reply to the magistrate, the man said he went to the board of guardians on Tuesday last but they refused to enter into the merits of the case. It was entirely out of his power to keep the child. His wife had deserted him, and he now had no home. The magistrate said the man was under no legal obli• gation to keep the ohild, and if he were deserted the parish would be bound to take him into the workhouse. The man said he was willing to give every information about the boy, who was born at Epsom. He did not know his father. He had heard that the mother had a brother who was a surgeon in Brighton. He had not received any money from the mother for two years, and he did not know where to find her. _ _ _ The magistrate instructed Sergeant Dudley to lee the relieving offioer, and told him it appeared that the boy was a nurse child left with his wife, who had since gone away from her husband. Ultimately it was arranged that in the event of the parish officers refusing to receive the boy he should be brought before the magistrate again, with a view of being removed to an industrial school. At Stockport, a lad named Williamson has been fommittcd to the Chester assizes on a charge of attempt mg to upset the London and Liverpool express train near to Stockport, on the night of the 14th inst. The prisoner and several other boys placed ten " chairs," or iron girders by which the rails are secured to the sleepers, on to the down line ar the express was running at the rate of 50 miles an hour ; but such was the power of the velocity of the engine that it 'unshed each " chair" in two, and thus happily averted a frightful catastrophe. The engine bad its springs broken, and the prisoner admits that he in tended to have " a spill and a smash." The boiler of a flax mill at Randalstown, county Antrim, burst yesterday afternoon, killing Mr. Barnett, the owner, and five of his men. Four others were seriously injured.

In the market for public securities attention is principally directed to the fortnightly settlement, and little other business is going forward. The arrangement of the account exhibits a small supply of stock, especially as regards railways. It would appear, therefore, that the public still abstain from selling to any important extent. In vestments in the English funds at the present price do not increase, and it is understood that there are some considerable limits in the hands of the brokers to sell at 95. Consols are flat, and have declined 1-16 to per cent. Some of the home railway securities have also given way, but most of the foreign bonds are unaltered, in the absence of dealings. The demand for money has slightly increased, but choice bills are still taken at 4 to 1 per cent. below the Bank minimum. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 1 per cent. Consols are quoted 941 to 1 for money, and 94 11-16 to 13-16, or 941, for the account (Sept. 10); and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 941 to 4.

A telegram having been received from the company's agent in Bombay stating that the half.yearly re venue account to the 30th of June last, which he has forwarded, shows " received one hundred and six lace— expiates forty-eight lace," and as this would admit of a dividend being paid out of surplus profit at the 31st of December next at the rate of 10s. per cent., notice is hereby given, that for the remainder of the current half year payments in full in anticipation of calls upon shares can be received only upon condition of 10s. per cent. being paid at the same time, in addition tothe usualback interest, and with this distinct understanding that no portion of such 10a. per cent. can be refunded should a less dividend than at the above rate he declared and paid. - - -• A meeting was held on Monday of the creditors of Messrs.

Bpioers, Karen., and Co. manufacturers of fancy leather goods , ke ., No. 9, Eldon -street, Finsbury. It commenced, from some unknown cause, in one of the pri vate house., and in the course of a few minutes the whole place presented a large sheet of flame. The building was burned out, and Noe. 7,8, and 10 severely damaged by fire, water, fie. The loss will fall upon the Westminster, Royal, and Royal Exchange fire-aloes. leLnurrow.- A very destructive fire happened in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Bell, picture-frame manufac turer. The workshop; 60 feet long by 34 feet broad, were destroyed, and several of the adjoining premises injured. Insurance not known. CAmssnwsu..—A fire, which it is supposed was the work of an incendi►ry, took place in some unfinished houses belonging to Mr. W. Elides, Lavender-hill, Wands worth-read, which resulted in the destruction of two ten roomed houses and damage to those adjoining. HACKNET.—Another took place on the premises of Mr. A. Marks, a hatter, No. 169, Goldsmith's-row, Hackney, which destroyed the warehouse and contents. A DANGEROUS WALK.—At the Leeds Town Hall yesterday, three boys, all about fifteen years of age named Abraham Cookroft, John Groom , and Frederick leitt g l . 2, living in /the vicinity of Kirksiall-road, were before the West Riding magistrates with having trespassed on the North Eastern Railway at Brain hope. The three defendants were seen on Sunday, the 11th inst., walking along the line at the Hors forth end of the tunnel, and they were ordered away by the signalman. This, however, they heeded not, but coolly entered the tunnel, and actually walked through to Arthington, a distance of upwards of two miles. While passing through the tunnel they saw the flannel jacket of one of the platelayers, and apparently in wanton mischief, partially destroyed it, Fortunately for them their daring conduct in essaying the feat they ac complished was carried out on a day when there are fewer trains running between Leeds and Arthington. Had it been otherwise the prospect of their emerging in safety would have been very slight indeed. Steps were taken to bring the defendants before the magistrates for tres pass, and subsequently Inspector Sadler was in formed that the two last-named had threatened to place some pieces of iron on the rails at Burley in order to overthrow the North Eastern trains. He went to them, and they admitted that his information was correct. He then told them what would be the consequences of such an act, and asked them their motive. To his they answered that it was in order to divert the attention of the police from the prosecution for trespass. Mr. Sadler thereupon took them into custody, and they were placed before the borough magistrates yesterday before being taken to the West Riding Court, but as no specific charge was preferred against them they were remitted to the county Inagistrates,where, as already stated, they were charged along with Cockcroft with the trespass. The letter was fined 40s. and costs, or is de fault two months' imprisonment, and the other two defendants 50e each and oats, or three months' imprison ment.—Leeds Mercury.

TER SHOOTING OF • YOUNG WOMAN AT CRAY TO/M.—Yesterday Afternoon John Skinner wee brought up, on remand, before Mr. Maude, at Woolwich police-court, charged with feloniously killing Mary Ann Willis, at Owen's publichouse, Crayford, by shooting her with a gnu on the 19th inst. Mr. John Grantham, surgeon, ofCrs ford, deposed that he was called in to see the deceased , whom he found quite dead, in an outhouse, and the pri soner crying over her, and much excited, so much so that he doubted if any reliance could he placed upon en, of his statements made at the time. From the nature or the in jury the deceased had received he tboughtdeath mart have been instantaneous, as the charge of the gun had entered the base of the brain, carrying away the face. He also thought the grin could not have been more than a foot or two from the deceased when fired. The prisoner, after being duly cautioned, said he had nothing to say. Mr. Maude then said he had resolved to send him for trial, as, although it might have been an accident, it was neverthe less, a most reckless and careless thing for a man to take up a gun and point it at a person without seeing if it were really loaded or not. He had no wish to interpret the law, but, in his opinion, when a man killed a fellow-creature by such gross carelessness it was decidedly manslaughter, as persons should take are to guard against such terrible accident., which were so frequently occurring that, in his opinion, they should be severely dealt with. The prisoner had the option accorded to him of being liberated on bail, but he was unable to produce any. He was then own mitted to take his trial at the next assizes at Maidstone. A Doo Birrste BY AN ADDER. —At Ide-hill, last week, • dog (belonging to Mr. Pankkurst, gamekeeper), confined in • kennel, was beard howling very furioualy. Mr. Pankhurst proceeded to ascertain the cause, when he observed • short distance from the dog • large adder, in the act of making a spring at the dog's head. He killed it, and on going to the dog found that it had been bitten in the face. He then opened the adder and took some of the fat and rubbed over the plaoa. The dog's heed was soon swollen twice its natural size, but it is now getting quite well again. THE POTATO DISEASE. —ln North and East Yorkshire both growers and dealers report the potato disease to have appeared very generally this season, attri buted to the prevalence of continued wet weather and a low temperature. The most faulty crops are upon the strong clay lands which are most retentive of moisture, and the early sorts of potatoes are stated to have suffered mast, and in many eases to have gone bad after being taken up. It is hoped the present hot and dry weather will check the decease. _ LEGALISING OF GAMBLING-HOUSES AT HONG ICONG.—A great innovation (rays the Orertaad Trade Report of July 12) is about to be introduced in Hoeg- Kong, namely, the legalisation, under revere restrictiono, of native gambling-houses. Opposed as thiameasure seems to the ordinary spirit of English legislation, it is very generally admitted to have become inevitable. The Chinese are devoted to gambling to on extent that puts the efforts of the police to suppress it in Hong Kong, com pletely at defiance. Raids used to be continually going on, but no effect at all wee produced, and meanwhile the keepers of the illicit gambling-houses offered such bribes to the constables that it was found utterly impossible to keep thepolios forcefree from corruption. Toattempttbe defence of the repressive system on moral grounds,a defence which would have involved the assumption that th e colonial govern ment expected to reform a floating population constantly recruited from the hundreds of millions in the Chinese empire, would he too absurd, even for the most fanatieal purist. The introduction of gambling-hove, will put en end to a state of the law which in a colony mainly harbiied by Chinese we en cmtrege on common muse. MINES-(THIS DAY.) Own o'CLosn.
