THREE MEN SUFFOCATED me • WELL.—An occurrence of this nature took place in Fazeley-street, Bir mingham, ou Monday night. It appears that a man named Dainty was sort down • well to make sane rep.drs • not returning in due time a Second man was sent after him, he having • rope romal his waist ; by some means the rope got twisted round the pump, and all the efforts made to pull him up failed. A third was sent down with similarly unfortunate and fatallte. Assistance wasobtained, and after some time the of two of the men were broeght up dead ; Dainty was not extricated until Tuesday morn. kg at nine o'clock ; he had then been dead many bourn The well to eel feet deep. The cause of the accident to the first man is not known. lelitOugiscs ..tecinerr ON THE GLASGOW AND SOCTIV•WISTENE RAlLWAY.—Between 7 and t o'clock on Saturday evening an appalling accident, resulting from an apparently diabolical attempt to destroy life, occurred on the branch line of the Glasgow and South-Western way from Auchinleck to Dunkirk, to the mixed passenger and goods train in connection with the .1.315 train from Glasgow. On reaching a part of the road named Welltreee, about Nee miles from Auchinleck, the train dashed into an old colliery lye. now in disuse, with fatal and disastrous conaequei.cea. The engine, breaking through a wooden bridge at a short distance from the main line, was precipi tated into a small stream which conne ct, with the River Lugar—a fall of about eight feet, dragging with it the greater portion of the train, which consisted of twelve waggons and one passenger carriage. The driver, John Hunter, sustained a triple fracture of the leg, and was severely scorched by the steam of the engine. The fireman, a young orphan lad named Blythe, was jammed between the engine and tender, and though unhurt by the fall, lost his lite by drownin g —the stream being much swollen by ti:e heavy rains. The =turbinate man lived for nearly two hours after the accident, during all which time the most strenuous efforts were made to extricate him, but to no purpose. The scene while he became gra dually. very gradually, submerged by the swelling water, was painful in the highest degree. T:ie poor 111311 in his agony, just Wore the end, implored those who wen try ing so save him to tear him away thongh his Jogs should 'm left behind, but this could not be done. Both men resided at Muhhirk, where Hunter Las a wife and family. The p•so-nger cart Lobe, being at the end of the train, was not aimed over into the water, and happily none of the passengers were hurt. The tender and eight of the waggons were completely smashed. It is all but certain that the points were held by some miscreant while the train passed into the lye, as after the accident the switch was found to be set all right far Passage over the main line, and but an hour before an engine had passed down safely from Dunkirk. It is said that two men bad been seen suspiciously lurking about the locality a short time before the disaster. Procurator racal Gross of this town has instituted a searching in quiry into the matter ; and yesterday the manager, engineer, and others of the company's officials, visited the UMW of the accident, for the purpose of superintending tbeelearing away of the debris —a work of some difficulty, . • Lags crane which Ind been put in operation basing accidentally fallen into the water on Sunday niglit, and very nearly occasioned the loss of a number of lives.— iftesttwea. . . /parting intelligence. TILE METROPOLITAN (KINGSBURY) BTZEI'LECHASE9.-TVESDAT. The suburban course at Kingsbury yesterday was rathtr well attended by lovers of steeplechasing from the metro polis on the occasion of the second anniversary of Mr. W. Tophain's meeting. As the weather was tine in the fore noon. many were no doubt induced to drive to the course who would never have faced biting win.ls or heavy down falls of rain ; and although there was a general opinion that the postponement of the meeting, which had been necessitated by the frost, would in some measure operate iletri.nentally upon the attendance and reduce the fields, the promoters had no occasion to regret the absence of many of the London division of penciller'. The Stand enclosure was tolerably well filled, whilst on the course there was a pretty fair sprinkling of spectators and others bent on doing a little business. There were five events set down for decision, chief among which was the Kingsbury Cup. The Uxendon Handicap had secured thirteen subscribers, and of the round dozen coloured only three starters appeared at the post. Leotard was quickly made a hot favourite, evens being laid on his winning, the ring laying 2 and 3to 1 at the other Fair. The favourite was, however, disposed of early in the rice, as he fell at a fence, and Mumford saw there was no further chance for him, and Nabocklish won easily. The talent ;wiled the next venture, a belling Handicap, Love in-a-Mist just getting first honours in the last few strides. Only four runners out of 10 on the card turned out for the Kingsbury Cup, Sir Bobby having a steadier of 12.1 7th Lord C. Ker's horse list, Torpedo lOst and Somerled lost only. Northern Light was spotted by the backers, who laid a shade of odds on their choice. The race never appeared in doubt, and the favourite won as he liked by 10 lengths, the top-weighted horse failing on entering the straight run home. A stake for " inaidns and a selling plate brought out half-a-dozen runners each, and in both instances the favourite was beaten, and the fielders hail thus a good turn of luck. The following is a return of the running : THE rIMINNII HANDICAP of 1 sows. each, 2 ft, with 40 added ; winner iqtes. Two miles. Mr. Jujoes's Nabodrlldi Mr. M Inust's Ktheasher Mr. Cox 's Leotard .(T. Ablettl 1 .(J. Davies 2 .IMamford) 3 Letting : Even on Leotard, 2to 1 agat Nabocklish, and 3 so 1 eget Kingfisher. A good start was effected, King fisher making the running, followed by Nabockliah, the rear being brought up by the favourite, the latter falling at the first fence, and throwing his jockey, who, however, speedily remounted, and went on after the other two. Of these Kingfisher also same to grief at the fence on the hill side a quarter of • mile further on, Nabooklish being thus left with the lead; but he was quickly joined by Leotard, who had meanwhile been fast making up the ground lost by the mishap already alluded to. At the next fence both refused, and the favourite, being the first to surmount the obstacle, came on witha good lead, which he held for about a mile, until getting to the first fence, on the far side of the eourse, opposite the stand, which be again blundered at, and Kingfisher, who had gradually improved his position, now went on second. By this time it was plainly visible that the favourite had bad enough of it, for at the next jump he again came down a " a fowler, " and threw Mumford with some violence. The Latter fortunately escaped any injury, and at once remounted, but finding his chance hopeless, he came lvisurely hack to the paddock. The race consequently was reduced to a match between Nabocklish and King fisher, the former of whom held the lead until about three quarters of • mils from home, when he was heeded by Kingfisher. The pair then ran abreast, each alternately leading till within the distance, when Nabockliah shook off his opponent, and won by two lengths. SELLINU HANDICAP STEEMICHASE of 3 SOO& each, with 23 added, for 3.yr-olds and upwards ; winner to be sold for 30 mom • winners extra. About two miles. (6 subs.) Mr. IL Love-to-a•Mlst Mr. W. Or agury Kr. J. F. s Bandollne Penelope also ran. Betting : 5 to 4 on Love-in-a-Mist, 7 to 2 apt Rapture, 6to 1 agst Bandoline. After going a short distance, Penelope made the running, followed by the favourite, Bandohne, and Rapture, but Love-in.a-Mist soon went to the flout, and took up the running, maintaining the lead till passing the stand the first time round. The lot then took clime order till reaching the fence opposite the end of the enclosure, which was well cleared by all but Pene lope, who refused three times, and was then walked back. In the meantime the favourite had taken a lead of two lengths, three lengths separating second and third. This order was kept up till the bend was rounded coming into the straight. On clearing the last fence, which was done almost simultaneously, Rapture forced the pace, but was at once challenged by the favourite. A splendid raze home ensued between the pair, but in the last few strides Love-in-a-Mist, through Gregory's enertions, landed the stake by a short head, Bandoline being four lengths in the rear. After the race an objection was lodged against the winner on the ground that it was ridden in a different bridle from that for which he had claimed weight, but nothing came of the objection, as the stewards at once overruled it. The winner was afterwards sold to Mr. W. Jarvis for 65 guineas. . _ _ Tiiiknicsauity Cup HANDICAP of a piece of plate, Talus 100 sovs., by subscription of 10 son. each, with 50 added ; winners extra. About two miles and a half. (11 subs.) Lord C. Ken's Northern Light (Captain Ilarford) 1 31r. J. Turner's Sir bobby (h. Land) 2 Torpedo and Somerled also ran. _ _ Betting: 6to 4 on Northern Light, 7 to 4 apt Sir Bobby, and 10 to 1 eget Torpedo. The quartet was sent on their mission on level terms, Northern Light making the pace, followed by Sir Bobby, Torpedo, and Somerled. At the first fence Somerled would not face the obstacle, but was afterwards got over, and went on in pursuit a long way in the rear, the field now presenting a scattered ap pearance. Descending the hill to the dip the three leaders got into close order, and Northern Light made the pace a cracker from this point up the straight, and past the stand, where alternately Sir Bobby and the favourite took the lead, Torpedo being in the rear, and Somerled having given up the chase at the far end of the course. On pass ing the stand enclosure Northern Light was two lengths iu front of Sir Bobby, who was three lengths before Tor pedo, the latter running very unkindly. This order was kept up. reaching the hill fence, where Sir Bobby swerved before clearing the difficulty, but was quickly righted, and in a short distance he was on level terms with Northern Light ; the Litter, however, on coming to the water jump took up the running, and maintained it to the post, win- ning iu a common canter by ten lengths. Torpedo did not paw the post. THE Maters STEEPLECHASE of 30 soya. for horses that never won over a country up to the time of entry, list 71b each ; half-bred horses allowed 71b. About two miles.

The fact of this Wiltshire meeting clashing with the postponed metropolitan gathering at Kingsbury had a material effect upon the attemhuico both of visitors and horses, and the sport was of n tame character. Compared with last year the attendance was meagre in the ex treme. and only one or two bookmakers of any note were present, but the local people had ample opportunities of making their invest.nents.

THE LATE EXPLOSION AT THE ROYAL ARSENAL. — The following memorial, signed by Mr. T. Hughes, H.P., Kr. J. 11. Langley, Mr. J. Merriman, the Rev. T. Tuiheld (foreman), and other members of the jury who investi• gated the circumstances attending the recent explosion at the Royal Arsenal, have forwarded the following memorial to the Secretary of State for War : " We, the undersigned, beg respectfully to call your attention to the case of the parents and relatives of the boys lately killed or maimed by an explo. lion in the Arsenal at Woolwich on the sth of October. and to urgently pray that some steps may be taken for the acknowledgment of the necessity of immediate relief. In many cases the parents were wholly dependent upon the labours of the unfortunate lads, in others the wages of the boys formed an important part of the support of the family, and the undersigned submit that a fair and reasonable case can be made out fur compensation to the relatives of the deceased." To this memorial an answer has been received to the effect that it had been referred to the consideration of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury. CHATHAM, Dec. 17.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.—WAR -OFFICE, DEC. 17. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officer and private soldiers of her Majesty's army, whose claims to the same have been sub witted for her Majesty's approgal, for their gallant con duct at the Little Andaman Island, as recorded against their names—viz., Assistant-Suraeon Campbell Millis Douglas, M.D., Privates Thomas Murphy, James Cooper, David Bell, and William Griffith., 2nd battalion 24th Regiment, for the very gallant and daring manner in which, on the 7th of May, 1667, they risked their lives in manning a boat and proceeding through a dangerous surf to the rescue of some of their comrades, who formed part of an expedition which had been sent to the island of Little Andaman, by order of the Chief Commissioner of British Burmab, with the view of ascertaining the fate of the commander and seven of the crew of the ship Assam Valley, who had landed there, and were supposed to have been murdered by the natives. The officer who commanded the troops on the occasion reports :—" About an hour later in the day Dr. Douglas, 2nd battalion 24th Regiment, and the four privates referred to, gallantly manning the second gig, made their way through the surf almost to the shore, but finding their boat was half filled with water, they retired. A second attempt made by Dr. Douglas and party proved successful, five of us being safely passed through the surf to the boats outside. A third and last trip got the whole of the party left on shore safe to the boats." It is stated that Dr. Douglas accomplished these trips through the surf to the shore by no ordinary exertion. He stood in the bows of the boat, and worked her in an in trepid and seamanlike manner, cool to a degree, as if what he was then doing was an ordinary act of every-day life. The four privates behaved in an equally cool and collected manner, rowing through the roughest surf when the slightest hesitation or want of pluck on the part of any one of them would have been attended by the gravest results. It is reported that seventeen officers and men wets thus saved from what must otherwise have been a fearful risk, if not certainty of death.—Gazette. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE OFFICIALS OF ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. At the Clerkenwell Police-court yesterday, Mha Welch, 24, a pauper in the St. Pancras workhouse, was charged before Mr. Cooke with refuaing to perform her task of work. William Bendel!, the gate porter, gave evidence u to her refusal. She was ordered to go into the oakum room, and would not. Defendant said—He has not told you all, air. The fact is, I wished to au my child, who is also an inmate, and when I did lee her I found that she was in a filthy state, and her bead covered with vermin. Feeling that more care should have been taken of the children than this, I reported the state of the child to the doctor. This it seems gave offence to the matron, who was much out of temper, and said I ought to have spoken to her before re porting the case to the doctor, and that she would serve me out for it. Previous to this my work had always been to clean the stairs, hut after this occurrence I was placed in the oakum yard, and knowing that it was only because I had complained of the improper state my child was in ; I did refuse to work not because I did not want to work, but because I wished to compel them to bring me before this court that I might speak to you. Mr. Cooke—Has this woman been an inmate long? Bendell-Bhe has been in the house four years. The child she speaks of is illegitimate ; and she has had another one, also illegitimate, but which is now dead. Mr. Cooke—During that four years has she been charged with any offence against the rules of the house? Bendell—No, sir. Mr. Cooke—Did she say anything to you about this complaint of the treatment of her child. Bendell—She did, sir, on the way to the court. Defendant—That is not all I have to complain of, sir. There is another, and that is ' that the task-room, which is the oakum shed, is not a fit or proper place for women to be in. Loads of women are placed there together, and there is a man placed over them, who can see every move ment of theirs ; and there is a water-closet in the room, but no privacy at all, as none of the woman can use it without the man observing them. Mr. Cooke—l shall place the defendant back until the master and matron of the workhouse can attend to explain this matter. Later in the afternoon the master, matron ' and doctor of the workhouse attended at the court, and the defendant was again brought up. Mr. Cooke (to the matron, who gave her name in so low • tone that our reporter could not catch it)—This woman has complained of her child being kept in a dirty condi tion, and thist on reporting the same to the doctor, you threatened her for making such complaint. Is that so? The Matron—l have not threatened her. Mr. Cooke—Has she made complaints respecting her child. The Matron—She has complained, but her complainta were unfounded. Mr. Cooke—ls it true that the child's head was covered with vermin! The Matron—The child has been in the house some time, and she might have caught the vermin from other children just brought in. I have never threatened the defendant with punishment for making such complaint. I have not changed her work on that account ; but all the young girls have to go to the oakum-room by the new regulations. By the Defendant—Yes ; you did say to me that you knew I would punish you for speaking to the gentleman about your ehild. Mr. Cooke Ito the master of the workhouse)—ls it true that this woman is kept in a room with only one closet, and that they can only retire in the presence of a man The Master—There are two closets, which the guardians think sufficient ; they both have doors. The child was brought into court and shown to the magistrate. It looked clean. Defendant—l wish to say, air, that I did not refuse work because I did not want to work, butbecatmet I wanted to see you sad tell you how I was treated, as well as my child, and now I have seen you and told you all I will go to work again ; but, air, there are many more 1/0/110111 to that house who wish and long for the opportunity of say ing as much as you have allowed me to say to you. The master said that since the new regulations bad come into force it was the policy of the guardians to discourage all able-bodied women heating themselves in the house, and it was with that view that all the young and able bodied were put to work in the oakam shed, and more particularly those who came into the house with illegiti mate children. Defendant—Yee. air, and the work in the oakum abed is dreadful, and we are kept there from eight in the morn ing till seven at night. Mr. Cooke said the defendant was clearly in the wrong in refusing to do her task of work, but considering that she had bean so long in the house without any previous complaint, and taking other circumstances of the case into consideration, ho should pass a vet 7 light sentence upon her, which was that she should be imprisoned the rest of the day, and then she was to go back to the workhouse. The effect of this was that she was locked in the cells for about a couple of hours, and then liberated. Cato InUllfgercte. COURT OF QUERN'S BRNCH.---Dac. 17. SECOND COURT. After Term Nisi Prius Sittings at GuildhalL—(Before Mr. Justice Blsmiburn and Common Juries.) STONE T. PHILLIPS. This was an action for an assault againat the sonjof a late lord mayor. Mr. Shaw was counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff was a grocer and provision merchant at Ormakirk ; and the defendant is the son of Sir Benjamin Phillips. late lord mayor. The plaintiff also had edited the Philse.thropie News. Ile came to London with the inten tion of starting a newspaper. He wrote to Sir B. Phillips but received no answer, and he called twice at hie place of business in Newgate-street. Defendant and his father asked him his name ; he told them ; and on their asking if his letters had reference to business he replied undoubt edly. He spoke of establishing a newspaper and that he should not fail to animadvert upon the Lord Mayor's con. duct. Upon that defendant seized him by the oollar and threw him to the door. When he recovered he said to them, " This is gentlemanly conduct," and left. He had seen several doctors, and he still su ff ered pain. Cross-examined—He did not threaten to expose Phillips as be had Lord Palmerston and other big nobs. Did not say he wanted to ask six questions. Did not say he would smash Sir B. Phillips ; but he would contrast his conduct with that of Sir John Thwaites. He could behave like a gentleman. He denied that he used any threats. In answer to further questions by the learned serjeant, be said he wrote, ••Benjn. Phillips. It is past aix o'clock, my terms are now 2001., and will be double every day. Joel Emanuel is instructed by me to issue a writ if not paid by twelve to-morrow. You must be taught to behave yourself.—Joseph Stoner." He addressed the envelope of one letter thus—" Sir —. Phillips, Knight, a boasted liberal that accepts a altry knighthood from a tractarian tory prime minister . " (The letter contained vu abuse.) He considered he was a Briton striking home. lg (Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said he did not mean to charge the plaintiff with attempting to extort money, but there could be no doubt he had acted like a lunatic, and regretted that an attorney could be found to bring an action for a man who could hardly be said to be responsible for his actions. The defendant deposed that the plaintiff called at the counting-house and asked to see Sir Benjamin, but as it was not on business he declined to see him. Plaintiff said he would have his six questions answered, and that he would show Sir Benjamin up. He declared and said he would crush and smash Sir Benjamin. Upon that he took plaintiff by the collar, which had a sort of handle, and pushed him out. In cross-examination he said plaintiff did not refer to Alderman Hale. Plaintiff did not resist, but he said it was an ungentlemanly proceeding. He might have " eon veyed " the plaintiff by the handle • distance of eight or ten feet. If he had not acted as be did to the plaintiff in all probability he would have been there now. The learned counsel having commented on the last answer, Mr. Justice Blackburn said there could be but one end of this case. The jury said they did not wish to hear any more of it. The learned counsel then retired from the case, and the jury returned a verdict for tho defendant. COURT OF EXCHRQUER.—DEc. 17. Sittinp at Nisi Prins.—(Before she Lord Chief Baron and • Special J•ry.) WOOD V. YOUNG. This wu an action for injury sustained by a barge, the Ada, of Milton, by a collision on the night of the 30th April, in the Thames, near Gravesend. The defen. dant pleaded not guilty. Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, and Mr. Philbrick were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Milward, Q.C., and Mr. Matthews. counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff wee the owner of the barge, and the defen dant wu the owner of a steamer called the Norfolk, of Wisbesch. On the night in question the barge was loaded with bricks, and had left the Medway for London. The cue on the part of the plaintiff was that the steamer ran into the barge in consequence of attempting to pass it on the wrong side. The barge sank almost immediately, and the master, named Jay, was drowned. The defence was that the occurrence was to be attributed to the improper navigation of the barge. There was a considerable amount of evidence on both odes. When the Lord Chief Baron wee about to sum up, the jury intimated that they were agreed, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages were referred. In the ease of " Jay e. Young," which was an action by the widow of the master of the barge, a verdict was taken by consent for the plaintiff for 5001., of which 2501. was to go to the widow, and the rest to her children. Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Kr. Baron Bramwell and a Special Jury.) ADZ INS V. CHARRINGTON. This was an action for bodily injuries. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., Mr. Kemp, and Mr. Grantham were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeut Atkinson and Mr. Philbrick for the defendants. In January last the plaintiff, who had been employed by a wine merchant, was riding in a light cart in the Maryle bone-road along with another man, whets the cart, accord ing to his account, was ran into by a dray belonging to the defendants, who were the well-known brewers, when near the obelisk at the top of Albany-street. The force of the collision was such as to throw the plaintiff out against one of the posts, and be had his arm crushed in such a manner that it was rendered totally uselen for the rest of his life. There was a direct conflict of evidence as to which was in fault, the defendants alleging that the cart first ran into the dray, and made the horses in the latter start off, and thus puce the accident. The learned Baron summed up rather favourably for the defendants, but ___. The jury found • verdict for the plainti ff , damages 500/. Hie Lordship stayed execution to enable the defendants to move the court. The case had been tried before, hat the jury not being able to agree were discharged. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—HEREFORD, DEc. fl. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) - - The calendar contained only two eases, but one of them, • riot by Irish self-called Fenian,, involved seven pri soners in the charge. This was the only case calling for • report. WiUiaw Malony, John Casey, Williams Maud, John Welsh, Alia Castello, Mary LyteA, and Mary Field were indicted for a riot, and wilfully and maliciously beating, kicking, and wounding one John Bayliss with intent to d o him grievous bodily harm, at Weston Begard, on the 22nd September last. Mr. Pritchard prosecuted. The prisoners were unde fended. The facts of this case, which caused some considerable excitement in the county at the time, were as follow : The prisoners belonged to a gang of Irish hop-pickers, who were engaged in hop-picking in the neighbourhood of Wes ton Bogard in the month of September last. On the 21nd of that month, having been drinking sogether at the Crown Inn, at Weston, they proceeded first to quarrel amongst themselves, and thou they set about smashing the glasses and furniture, and destroying everything that came within their reach. The parish constable, John Bayliss, hap pened to be in the house, and he was called into the kitchen by the landlord to endeavour to quell the dis turbance. The Irish party thereupon set upon BRAE', knocked him down, 'and for full ten minutes beat and kicked him in a most brutal and cowardly manner, beating him over the head with jugs and iron spittoons. The poor fellow lay in an insensible and apparently a dying state for fifteen hours, and was unable to speak for a fortnight. 'While attacking him the Irish party frequently exclaimed, "We are Fenian, and we'll let you know it." John Bayliss having deposed to the shove facts, his evi dence was corroborated by the landlady's son and other parties who witnessed the outrage. Mr. Wood, surgeon of Farrington, was called to prove the nature of the injuries sustained by Bayliss. When he was called in to see him he found him speechless and in , sensible. There were several severe cuts and bruises about his bead and different parts of his body, and one severe wound on the head hail fractured the skull. This wound was of such a shape and appearance as might have been produced by a blow from an iron spittoon. He considered his life for some time was in great auger, and by his (Mr. Wood's) advice he was kept perfectly quiet for a fortnight, when he began to recover. During that time he took three pieces of bone from the fracture in the skull. He still felt the effects of the injuries be had received. The jury found the prisoners all Gullty of a misde meanour._ _ His lordship sentenced them to 12monihs' imprisonment each. His lordship, considering that Egli.; had acted in a manly and proper manner in the discharge of his duty am parish constable, ordered a sum of 21. to be paid to him out of the county fund.

(Mon the Common Serjeant.) Grorgt Pearce, 41, a well-dressed man, described as • surgeon, was charged with bigamy. Mr. Lilley prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Besley.Mikeri It appeared that the prisoner, who was at the time a medical student, was married in the year 1844, to a person named Emmeline Wessell, and they lived together for several years and then separated. The offence imputed to the prisoner was that in the present year he had contracted • marriage with a widow named Catherine Pearce. The facts were not disputed and the jury accordingly returned • verdict of OWN. Mr. Begley said the circtimstancesof the case were some what extraordinary. At the time of the defendant's mar riage, in 1844, he was • medical student, and was only 18 years of age, and his relatives occupied a good position in society. He and his wife lived together happily for some years, but in 1851, the defendant's father-in-law died, and thereafter Mrs. Weevall came to live with them. From that time there was constant discontent in the house, and it in creased so much that in 1857 the defendant went to Glas gow, and while there be wrote to his wife to join him, but the invitation did not extend to her mother. In reply she said she could not go without her mother, and that the climate of Scotland was too cold for her. The defendant then made her an allowance of 50f. a year, and continued the payments down to December, 1863. In the meantime, in June, 1859, he married • person in Scotland with whom he lived for several yetis, bat this person, wishing to form another connection, caused the defendant to be arrested on a charge of bigamy in 1865, and for this offence he was sentenced to a year's imprison ment. At the termination of his Incarceration he returned to London, and being in considerable pecu niary embarrassment he was unable to make any allow ance to his first wife, who thereupon instituted the pre sent proceedings. The Common Serjeant remarked that this prosecution was undertaken from very unworthy motives, because, although the prosecutrix was aware of the marriage which took place in Scotland, she did not cause any proceedings to be taken against her husband until the withdrawal of her settlement. As to the third marriage, out of which the present prosecution arose, the woman with whom it was contracted had come forward and testified to the kind ness shown her by the defendant, and desired that a very light punishment should be inflicted upon him. Under the whole circumstances, and considering that no very serious wrong had been done to the first wife, he was of opinion that the justice of the case would be met by peal ing • sentence of one month's imprisonment.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (Before the Ambient Judge.) THE TINIAN OUTRAGE. On returning the last batch of bills sent to the grand jury, the foreman handed in the following presentiment, which wan read by Mr. Francis, deputy clerk of the pesos: " Clerkeowell, Dec. 17, 1867. "My Lord,—The grand jury is desirous to take this opportunity of expressing their concurrence in the remarks which fell from your lordship in your charge to the grand jury yesterday, and of recording their unanimous feeling of abhorrence of the diabolical and murderous outrage which has so recently been committed within the very precincts of your lordship's court,entsiling not only death, mutilation, and suffering upon its immediate victim., but spreading alarm and consternation throughout the country. In the face of this lawlessness the grand jury by this pre sentment are anxious to record their strong opinion that no befitting occasion should be lost by loyal subjects of her Majesty for giving a full and earnest expression of their desire to unite in every possible manner in aiding and supporting the executive in maintaining the supremacy and majesty of the law, and restoring that peace and security which happily has hitherto distinguished our land. The grand jury feel that her Majesty's govern ment by taking a firm, unflinching, and determined course of action with these lawless invaders of our peace, and the common enemies of civilisation, will enlist the hearty and futl support of all the intelligent and loyal subjects of her Majesty. "Joint Hansa, Foreman." The Assistant Judge said—ln alluding to the horrible event which occurred, lam gratified to find that you, re presenting the county, and the inhabitants of the country are animated by feelings of patriotism, and a determination to support the government in a firm administration of the law, so that this black spot shall no longer appear in our social system. I think therefore that assassination and warder will no longer be allowed to be carried on with impunity in the public streets. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION•HOUSL Javan Conning, • seaman, was brought before the Lord Mayor on remand, charged with the wilful murder of John Wyers, • fellow seaman, on board the barque Fridona, in the Bay of Fayal, Azore Islands, on the 18th September. It will be recollected that the prisoner was brought to this country in a vessel named the Wave, and given into the custody of Walsh, a City police-constable. The prosecu tion was conducted by Mr. Polend, on behalf of the Trea sury ; and it appeared from the depositions taken before Mr. Dart, the British vice-consul at Faye!, that the Fri done, to which the prisoner land deceased belonged, was a barque trading between Boston and Gibraltar. On the night of Sept. 18 there was some quarrelling on board, and at about halt-past ten the mate discovered that Wyers had been stabbed. The wound penetrated the lungs, and death was almost instantaneous. The mate asked who had done the deed, and Conning acknowledged that it had been done by him, and that he hail been obliged to stab the deceased in self-defence. At an earlier period of the evening the deceased and another seaman named Thomson bad come on board drunk, and he was heard to threaten the prisoner, and was seen with an open jack-knife in his hand. During the voyage also be had frequently endeavoured to " pick • quarrel" with him and the prisoner on the other band was generally reganied by all on board as a quiet, inoffensive man. Mr. Poland now stated that since the last examination the prosecution had done all they could to get further evidence, by communicating with the owner in Scotland and with persons abroad, but at present they were unable to say what course should be pursued, and he had there fore to apply that the case be remanded for another week. The prisoner would not be prejudiced by this proceeding, because the ease could not be tried at the present sittings of the Central Criminal Court, and the succeeding session would commence on the tith of January. The Lord Mayor seceded to the request, and the prisoner was remanded auoordingly. CLikKENIVELL, Sarah Gamble, 30, Susan Green, 17, Ann Harrison, 57, Zliza Murphy, 25 , Mary Ann Jones, 17, Itlks, Warren, 16, Ann Ryan, 17, Mary Withers, 17, Jane Pletcher, 22, and Wary Ann Bryan, 16, were charged before Mr. Cooke with wilfully da maging a door and breaking out of the St. Pancras Workhouse. They were also charged with being disorderly. On Monday evening the workhouse authorities disco vered to their consternation that the women were in the street dancing and drunk. It was found that the oakum room had been broken into, the door smashed, and the brickwork displaced in such a way as to enable the ten in mates to get out and pay a visit to the public-house. Three of the girls were taken whilst being assisted over the wall into the eorkhouse by several men. The girls were drunk. Mr. Cooks sentenced the prisoners each to seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. Lani. Worms, living at 30, Cross-street, Hatton-garden, and carrying on business as a greengrocer, was charged with assaulting Police-constable Thos. Hibbet, 106 G, and also with being drunk. . . . . . . On Moi7d-iy night defendant struck the constable in the face, and seized him by the stock, and would have choked him had not some bystanders and other officers interfered and released him from the prisoner's grasp. Eventually, it took six constables to take him to the station, he restating and kicking all the way. being at the time mad drunk. Mr. Cooke said he should sentence him to imprisonment for one month. . . . . . The defendant begged that the case might be edjourned for the production of more witnesses, but Mr. Cooke declined to accede to his application, and be was locked up. MARKETS.

MANUFACTURES —IIIIIDDERhFIELD, DEC. 17.—Mon buyers have been in the market to-day both from London and the country, anal some little improvement was observ able, more particularly in middle fancies and steel mix tures. In the better classes of spring goods there has also been a little snore doing; but low qualities of all descrip tions are stall neglected, and can only be moved at a sacri fice. The orders to the local merchants during the week have been more numerous, but for small parcels only. An extended business, however, is expected on the opening of the new year. WOOLS.—HtDDEItsTILLD, Dirk. 17.—Prices being now considered to be turd fur some time, buyers make emir selections with more confidence, but take onlylsmall/quan tities, teeming to guard themselves against being over stocked.

COTTON GOODS. —Manes. VITRR. Dec. 17.—fiellen of shipping yarns again report a very inactive market to• day, and prices have undergone a furtlicr decline urea Friday. M least yams are easier to buy if n o t quota b ly lower. The market for most descriptions of yarn for expo' t clones quiet, with but little Lope of atuelanuett now before the close of the year. In the home trade y.ira market, business is also tame, though in the coarser Downs there is rather • steadier tone than or. Friday. For :U s twist, and 34's and 364 weft, spinners are pretty s e w engaged, owing to the heavy contracts some of our mu , lecturers of shirting@ for India now boll, and such of the producer. as are in this position are not very pr ees i, sellers of any other stocks they may have to part The finer counts of yarn continue rather depressed, Spinners of shirting counts of yarn are holding with e on firmness, because they hays not much apprehensi on, owing to the extent of contracts held, that prices will Ito the present go much lower. In the cloth trade we have r-, great change to notices. compared with Friday, whi c h a day of flatness and depression ; but the business doi tg is small. There is no great pressure on the part of mit,. factures to sell, because they think that prices have gon e down now to • beds which renders business comparatively safe. Orleans cotton being now quoted at 74d. pe r lb .. price which was occasionally exceeded before the Americ a cotton famine, there is reason to hope that iluctuatioca will be lets violent than of late years, and be limited to farthings and pennies, instead of threepence', si r p esuty, and shillings per lb. The stoppage of a Lumley be tas here—that of blesars. Nixon and Kellick—with liabilities estimated variously at from 60,000/. to 100,1.00 f., caused an addition to the gloom which usually attends an inactive market ; but there is reason to believe the estate will show a very favourable state of assets, so soon as th e accounts have been prepared. In saying that there is be great change noticeable in cloth since Friday, it is ties meant that any better prices are obtainable, notwithrtand. ing a fair amount of contracts, but that manufacturers ate lass panic-stricken, and are cot disposed to be pressed lino sales at lower prices so readily. The country spinners and manufacturers mentioned in former reports aa Lavine re. volted from the general exchange, because of the sob cription being raised from two guineas to three, bare already succeeded in findin; • suitable building fo r a cotton trade exchange, and are said to have agreed with the Free Trade Hall Company for their magnificent hall , at a nit of • thousand guineas • year. Of course they will require it only on the two market days (Tuesdays and Friday,) in each week. WOOLLEN.—Lenes, Dec. 17.—The attendiusce at th e cloth halls this morning hu been small, few buyers hire been present, and the business transacted haa been cur. fined either to a few spring samples or in sorting up single pieces for the execution of present orders. In the coloured market a limited number of thin meltona in plain std fancy makes, together with a few tweeds in the lighter and more delicate shades, have changed hands, though only is the way of samples, and the totel amount of business done has therefore been inconsiderable. The white cloth hall has not presented any new feature. Hair.lista are only dull of sale, and what transactions now take place are chiefly to next year's account. Other departments hare been very quiet, and nothing worthy of special notice kw transpired.
