Mr. Walter mcooded the motion, which was carried. A committee having loses appointe,l. mil several subscriptioim &mimosas', the meeting separated. In the forenoon the neighbourhood of Mountstreet, Crew Tenor-square. war crowded with, sad nearly blocked up bv. excavators, bricklayers, lahourere, sad other destitute per. eons, who have been thrown out of work owing to the in tensity of the frost. and who were anlicants for relief at the workhouse of St. George's, loverequare. Nearly His whole of them were employed at the new Victoria sta tics, Pimlico, in the erection of the new barracks in the gessa r rroad, kc. (which works have been stopped during the Lt few days). A great many of them who had families stated that their children at home were crying for bread. As they resided in the parish and were chargeable on the rates, the varietal gave direction, to their of to relieve their neceseities, and the order has been liberally attended to. Yesterday about 1.0110 lbw of bread, &0., were diatributed among the unfortunate creatures. On Satur day as many as 1,200 were given away, and during the revious dayr of last week about the same relief was afforded each day. In the neighbourhood of the squares of, the pariah of Maryiebone. there were Yesterday Psis of navvies, w.dking about clamorons for relief, while at the various poll,. eourtri, aims the announcement in the papers of the large amount of public benevolesce, the ap plicants become .oily more numemus. These application', .shrection of the magistrates, are carefully investigated by the summoning officers of the court, sad by the police. when, upon a report being made that the families are in destitute circumstances, relief D. promptly afforded. Upwards of two thousand unemployed labourers congre gated in the street near the Thames police-curt in expectation of receiving the benefit of another distri bution of mosey from the poor-box food. The con. fusion and excitement was very great, the street and the front of the court-boom being completely blocked up. A large force of police, under the direction of Inspector Hayes and Inspector Allison, were employed to clear a way for people on liminera, and this arduous task was accomplished with peat difficulty, but with the greatest kindness, forbearance, and geed humour. At last the large plea of the station-lionse yard were throws open, and a tremendem rash took place. No one was hurt, but the okiihmof many poor fellows were torn to pieces in the struggle to get a plasm near the side door of the court, by which they were admitted 6 or 7 at a time, end proceeded along a wi mp into the usher's room, fronting the street, where Mr. Imingatoo, the chief usher, doled out a shilling or six pence to each, until all the money (;121.) he was entrusted to distribute was exhausted. Over 400 received one shil ling each, and about the same number six bra each, and a few, we believe not more than ten or twelve, received 2s. each. Upwards of 1,000 were sent away empty-handed, and when Mr. Livingston announced that he had no more money to give away, the multitude looked despairingly at him, while many shed tears, for they had been waiting five or six hours in the cold expecting to receive sufficient to boy a loaf of bread for their families.

At the ex piration of bonen hour the public were spin admitted, when The Coroner announced that the verdict of the jury was " Accidents] death." The jury, he stated, were of opinion that the cage containing the animals was not of sufficient strumilli. He need mot make any observation on that part of Ow verdict. ea be felt the opinion of the jury would be attended to, as iu the event of a wood accident, if such was not the cans, the verdict would amount perhaps to one of inazudatighter. The jury, however, up to the present time, were of opinion that the uWifers of the animals were exempt heal all criminal coosequemea.

ARDIN.-110G8E AGILNTW The plaintiff in Ilia case was a Louse agent iu Baker street, l'ortmanagtutre, and the defendant was a gentleman possessed of considerable house property. The action was to recover 71 per cent. cromrniasion upon 150 guineas, the focus's rent of the house, S. laneastcr-race Re gent s-park and 5 per cent, upon 550 f., the Pareholo mo ney of the furniture in the house. The total amount of the plaintirs claim was :MI. Gs. ; the defendant paid NW. into court. Mr. Serpent Shee and Mr. Henry James appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Kerslake for the defendan t. The plaintiff 'a case was that at the latter end of January or the beginning of February last, the defendant called on him and gave him the following written instructions in reference to the house :—" Furnished.—B, Lancaster. =race, Regent's.park, at the corner of Primrose-hill ; nine bedrooms, three drawing-rooms, dining and two other sitting-rooms, coachhouse, and offices. Capital. Eight guinea a week, or =furnished, on lease, at 150 guineas, taking plan furniture." In Auguid Mrs. Stewart called upon the plaintiff relative to the house, which she wanted for her daughter, and seine correspondence took place, the plaintiff introducing her to the defendant. The plaintiff heard no more until the commencement of November, when Mrs. Routh. Mrs. Stewart's daughter, informed him that she hail taken the house. The plaintiff thereupon sent in his claim, when the defendant replied that throe per cent. on the rent was the commission which had been mentioned, and that he had never paid more than five per cent. Beyond this, that the plaintiff had been employed simply to rent a house for the defendant, and not to let the MC in question. Evidence was given on both sides. Mr. Justice Byles directed the jury that the question upon which the verdict depended was, whether the plaintiff was etnployed sell any other furniture than the " plan furniture.' Cpon the question of amount the plaintiff had called some witnesses who supported to the full his claim, but Mr. Jones, one of his witnesses, mid he should have charged only five per cent. on the first year's rent ; and another of the pliuntiff's witnesses, Mr. Lomax, said his c for selling the furniture would have been 5 per cent. o i r the first 100/. and 26 per cent. afterwards. The jury found for the plaintiff for 9/. 7s. 341., in addition to the money paid into court. r Christmas—a precipitation for which, however, f was not only to blame, and I cannot express , the sincere sorrow I feel that through having unseen st t tied the feeling , . I entertained towards you, I have placed you in a position far from that which your goodness and amiability d eserve . H a d ti me per mitted, I should have endeavoured to have seen you on my return from Margate, but my attendance having been urgently required here, I was unable to do more than pass from one station to another. Believe me when I state most emphatically that I neither write this at the dicta• tion of any one or under the influence of any other attach burnt. I have but one motive, which is to avoid placing us both in a false position, beyond the power of recall. Dear Fanny, farewell. Forgive me the pain I cause you, and if in after years we ever meet again, may you bare found some one happier than I am, and in whose tendentas you will have forgotten all of me saws one kind remembrance like that which I shall never cease cherishing towards you. Permit me to subscribe myself your friend and well-wisher, " MATTHIAS VAN IiuLST." The plaintiff, much surprised naturally at receiving such a letter, handed it to her brother-in-law, and he re plied in the following terrua " August 21, 1080. " Sir,—Your extraordinary conduct has so completely overpowered and insulted the feeling of my sister-in-law (Miss Tricker) that she feels quite inadequate to answer your letter of the sth inst., and has therefore handed it over to me, in order that I may do so. AU our friends and myself are, as you must be assured, indignant at the un handsome, unmanly, and cruel treatment that she has received at your hands, and that upon the eve of your intended marriage to her. Such conduct and outrage upon ?dm Illricker's feel ings cannot be allowed to pus with impunity and unpunished ; therefore, the affair will be placed in pro fessional bands. Confinement to my bed from severe indis position has prevented my writing earlier." After 801110 remarks from the learned counsel on the general nature of the osee, he called Mr. Staines, the brother-in-law. He deposed to the de fendant's proposing to him for his sister-in-law, and stating that he had a clear income of 500 f. per annum. He was i ingly accepted, and some of the wedding drams were pur chased. In July the plaintiff called, and saw them. He had provided them. Cross-examined--The defendant had been acquainted with the plaintiff about a fortnight before he proposed to her. He did not know till within the last three days that the defendant was involved in pecuniary difficulties. Re-examined—He wu induced to accept him for his ristsr-ie-law on his statement that he was in the enjoyment of a clear income of 500/. a year. By the Judge—How often had they seen each other? Witness—Almost every day the fortnight before he pro posed. By the Judge—ln what way? Witness—At his father's house. Br the Judge—You accepted the proposal at once? N%itnese—Yes. I saw she was very much attached to him. The defendant's letters were thee put in and read. This was the plaintiff', case. Mr. Huddleston submitted there was no breach. The defendant had written to be absolved from his contract and had received no answer. The action was premature. The learned judge said he thought it was a question for the jury. Mr. Edwin James having addressed the jury on the case, Mr. Hudilleston addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—damages 25/. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Be( ure Mr. Justice Blackburn.) 27dovisw Cha pman wu found Guilty of Wilful and cor ruPt Perjury. Shortly afterwards the whole of the prisoners, Lewis Robert Poole, Frederick Walter Yearn, Thomas Chapman, and William Bellingham, were placed at the bar. A motion was then made in arrest of judgment on be half of all the defendanta, in support of which Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Metcalfe, and Mr. Poland severally addressed the court at considerable length. The arguments were of a purely technical character , _ and would be quite uninteresting, and indeed di ffi cult to be understood by persons out of the legal profession, sod it is therefore unnecessary to repeat them. Mr. Justice Blackburn, after listening attentively to the arguments of the learned gentlemen, rid he should not arrest the judgment, or, as at present advised, reserve any Cpoints that had beeu raised for the consideration of th e ourt of Criminal Appeal. lf, however, upon further con sideration he should thick that there was anything in the technical objections that had been raised, the prisoners should have the benefit of them. The learned Judge then addressed the prisoners, and said that three of them (Poole, Ventris, and Chapman) had been originally convicted of felony, but be did not «insider him self justified in acting upon that verdict without hearing more of the case, and therefore thought it right that the other charges should be inquired into, and the result had been that five different juries had found them all guilty, and he had no hesitation in expressing his opinion that the decision they had arrived at was the only one that could be come to upon the evidence that had been laid before the court, and that it was impossible to come to any other I conclusion. A great many technical objections had been raised on their behalf by the ingenuity of their counsel, sad they should have the benefit of them, if, upon considers tioti' they should be found in law to be available ; but he must say, at the same time, that he should be very sorry if such • result should be arrived at. In the meantime, and acting upon the belief that these objections were not sustainable, it was his duty to pus sentence upon then. for the offence of which they had been convicted. It appeared to him that Poole was the principal delinquent. There could be no doubt that he knew perfectly well that bankruptcy was in evitable, and that while in this position he deliberately set about removing his property with • view to defraud his cre ditors. This offence was regarded by the law as one of so serious • character that it gave the power to pan a sentence of transportation for life. fie should act go to that extent, but still he felt bound to regard the CMS IS one of a very serious character. The ogees!, was of that description that any one committing it must be perfectly well aware that he must necessarily add to it that of wilful and corrupt per jury, because be knew that he would be called upon to give an account of the manner in which his property had been disposed of in the Court of Baakrupts.7, and that he must deliberately prepare to take a false oath. It was also necessary that lie should not only wilfully commit perjury himself, but that he should induce others to assist him by committing the same offence, and he must wakes that be was astonished at the amount of false evidence which the defendant had been able to p and at the medians with which many others appeared inclined to commit the same offence. He hoped, how ever, that the result would be that all persons would know that although false testimony might be obtained to an extent that be should hardly have credited to be possible in this country, it would not have the effect of defeating the law, and that those who were guilty of such proceedings subjected themselves to serious punishment. Under all the circumstances, so far as regarded the prisoner Poole, he felt it his duty to order him to be kept in penal servitude for the space at six years, upon the indictment for felony, and he should order the same sentence upon the conviction for perjury ; so that if, as he before stated, it should turn out that any of the technical objections that bad been raised were found to be available, he would not escape punishment, unless it should appear t hat they applied equally to both charges. With regard to the prisoner Chapman, the observations he had made as to Poole equally applied. There could be no doubt that be had committed perjury himself, and that he had endeavoured to induce others to commit the same offence. Still, however, he did not consider that he was guilty to so great an extent in the matter, and he should therefore I only pass upon him a sentence of fouryears' penal servitude, the sentence being upou each charge as in the former case. As to the prisoner Ventris, it appeared that he was clerk to the accountants, Messrs. Quilter and Ball, and that being sent down to Northampton by them to examine the leeeellte Of the bankrupt, he consented, for the sake of a bribe, to lend himself to the scheme for defrauding the creditor' ; and he did this, knowing in his psition as clerk to the accountants that it must be followed up by the com mission of the crime of wilful perjury. He did not certainly appear to have bees tiny party to the subornation of per. jum , by others, but still his offence was a very serious mie, and be felt it his duty to pass upon him the same sentence as upon Chapman, namely, four years penal servitude. With regard to the remaining prisoner, Bellingham, he did not consider his case in so bail • light as the others ; he did not appear to have been any party to the original scheme of freed, although he hail undoubtedly taken an active sharein concealing the property after it had been removed. He had, however, deliberately committed the crime of perjury, and he was bound to pass each • sentence upon him as would be calculated to deter others from committing a similar crime, and he should order him to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for eighteen mouths. The learned judge coocluded by stating that it was necessary in cases of perjury to levy a fine in addition to any other sentence, and he should therefore order those of the prisoner, who had been convicted of that offence to pay • fine of Is. derjeant Ballantine then said that in the course of the case it had been stated that • highly respectable gentle man named Tozer lied purchased a portion of the bankrupts' stork from their establishment in New Oxford-street, and he thought it right to state that that a ge n u d t t leman he m.n wae en f t ro i :n ebeca bom w h en avae the awpbaurcht had a taken made, enom he repudiated the trauaaction, and insisted upon the goods being returned.

Henry Davis, of Oxford street, tailor, was charged with ob taining, by false pretences, agreat-ooat, value 31., the pro. pertyof Mr. Dewar, the oomsdia who resides in Beaufort buildings, Strand. Anne Walsh, servant to Mr. Dewar, deposed that the prisoner called and said be was sent by Mr. Davis for Mr. Dewar's great-coat to be repaired. As he had called before with messages from Mr. Davis, she thought it was all right, and gave hun the coat. Mr. Dewar identified the coat, which was produced by the witnees Fox. It was worth 3f. 3s. He bad given no instructions that it should be repaired. William Fox, assistant to Mr. Ashunt, spawnbroker in the Edgware-road, produced the coat, which had been pledged by the prisoner for 15s. Mr. Davis mid the prisoner bad been about a month in his service, and had been sent on several errands to Mr. Dewar'a, but had never been instructed to call for this coat. Policeman Loosely, C 46, said the prosecutor called at the station on Sunday night and gave certain information, after which witnew accompanied hnu to the prisoner's lodgings, near Limon-grove, and found him there. lie said, "If I bad known you were after me you should not have had me so soon. I was off to-morrow morning." On the way to the station he acknowledged that he had pledged the coat at Mr. Ashurat's. Mr. Davis observed that the priaoner had committed other offences of a similar character, and had confessed to this. Mr. Corrie committed him for trial, observing that if he were convicted it would be enough for Mr. Davis to state to the judge what bad been his conduct ; but if he should be acquitted the constable might apprehend him again on one of the other charges. The pawnbroker, showing some unwillingness to give up the coat, _ . Mr. Corrie said--Give it up at once. It is not a question of willingnes. ; you must. - Mr. Dewar can produce it at the trial, but be may want to wear it in the meanwhile, and it would be inconvenient this cold weather. CLERK ENW ELL. _ . Sarah Sm i th was charged with breaking two panes of glaas at the St. Pancras Workhouse. Goodwin, the gate porter, stated that on Saturday night he had occasion to go the Somers-town police-station for the purpose of locking up two drunken men who had made a disturbance, and on his return he saw the prisoner, who said she had broken two windows. The prisoner hod been a source of great trouble to the parish, having only hurt week been sent to a situation, but she did not keep her place, and had since been walking the streets. The prisoner has before had two months from this court for breaking windows at the workhouse, and on Saturday night she said she should like to have six months on this occasion. The prisoner was sober, and when at the polioeatation she again amid she hadbroken the windows. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that she ap plied for admission, for which she thought she had a per fect right., but she was refused, and therefore she broke the windows, preferring a prison to a workhouse. Goodwin said that if the prisoner bad waited until he re turned she would have been admitted. All the persons who ap lied, more than 110, were admitted. Prisoner -1 wish to God you would sond me away for four or five years. Mr. I)'Eynconrt said he considered the priaoner's case a very hopeless one. She had been guilty of wanton and wilful mischief, and she would have to pay the damage or go to prison for one calendar month. The prisoner, when she was being removed, abused Goodwin, called him bad names, and said when she came out she would stab him, and then be transported. COURT OF EXCHEQUI6B...-JAN. 14. Sitting* at Nisi Prim, at Woatminater.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin and Common Juries.) TRICKER r. VAN 1101AST.-BREACH Or PROMS& This was an action for breach of promise. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff was not willing and ready to marry him ; that a reasonable time had not elapsed ; that the defendant had not refused to marry the plaintiff, as alleged. Mr. Edwin James, 4.C., and Mr. Butler Rigby were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Huddleston, 14. C., and Mr. Powell were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, in Mating the cue to the jury, said the plaintiff was II young lady 21 years of age, and the &feu dant wax about 28. The plaintiff's parents, who at one time resided in Easer, were dead, and she resided with her brother.in-law, • gentleman named Staines, in Marylebone. The defendant was a gentleman well known in the musical world, both in London and Wor cester, and the brother-in•law and defendant's father, who lived also in Marylebone, were on intimate terms. The defendant was introduced to the plaintiff, a young lady of considerable personal attractions, in January, 1860 and be became enamoured of her. He made proposals to the young lady, and also to the brother-in.law, and in consequence of his representation; and that his income was 5001. a year clear, he was accepted. The defendant suggested that the marriage should take place in about six weas or two months from that time, but the lady and her brother-in-law objected, and July was fixed instead. It was understood the marriage would take place in that month, and provision was made for it. The defendant, in January, left for Worcester, and the parties corresponded on affectionate terms, the plaintiff considering herself the defendant's affianced bride. A number of letters passed between them, to some of which he (the learned counsel) would call their attention. The first was as follows : "le, High-street, Worcester, Feb. 5, 1860. "My own dearest hinny, - 1 devote to you the first leisure moment I have had since my return to my native hearth-atones-(laughter),-and I feel assured your kind consideration will acquit me of anything approaching negli gence in delaying till now to write, when you remember the extra day I remained in town, and the consequent harms of compressing three days into two. I shall not attempt to express the sorrow I felt at leaving you at Emmen equare on Thursday. Hy only consolation was that the separation would only be temporary, and that you remained with those who would watch and guard over you sad protect you. I disliked exces sively, in the frame of mind I was then in, being invited to join the party of Miss Jay's girls. I would infinitely have preferred being alone to my own thoughts, which being about you, how much more agreeable would it have been. However, I had at pleasant a ride as under the circum stances 'could have expected. I hope you remained the day with my mother, and consoled her for the loss of her der ling-(6ughter)---or at least remained with her till father's return. I suppose you are aware we hauled each other en route-our respective trains staying simultaneously at station.

The next letter was dated Feb. 12 : "My dearest Fanny,—l was so exceedingly annoyed last Sunday to be interrupted by visitors while engasma in the pleasant ta.k of writing to you ; but the motto of an Eng lishman's house being his with does not, I believe, apply to bachelors, ea one of the penalties of their position is, being at all times supposed to be open to visits, and to-day I have bad my room full, and while I now write am almost distracted by the incessant conversation around.

My dearest Fanny, I have the greatest confidence in your constancy ; and although a grist dis tance separate. us, yet I fervently trust that will make no difference in our loyalty and faith to each other." His letter concluded with " Believe me, sweetest pet, ever yours lovingly, M.V.H." The letter of the 19th February contained the following : - " •• - • - .

COPPER.—The state of the copper trade during tlia past year must have been unsatisfactory to all cooceined : to the smelters from the high price ruling for ores in com parison with copper, soil to the consumers and shippers, from the frequent and at times unexpected alterations in price, which, although trifling, have tended to unsettle the market. The result is a decline from 13d. to 11 for English manufactured copper. The quantity of foreign copper contioually on the nvarket ballade depreciatingeffect on English, and this, with sundry other causes, has tended to a virtual, thnugh not admitted, overthrow of the "great monopoly," it being an undisguised fact that on several oc casions the leading houses have taken a price below the fixed rate for a suitable order. What has been done once may be done again, and it is at any rate a great stridetowards free trade in copper. The export of manufactured copper during the past twelve months shows n considerable increase, more particularly to the East Indies, and as the specifics. tions for that market are much liked by the smelters, owing to their generally running the same, and being easy to roll, they always obtain a preference, and in flat times even some slight reduction in priee.—(From the circular of Mows Von Declasses and Vo,th.)

Mrs. Wakelin, the principal witness, and with whom the unfortunate girl had been living for about two mouth,, said she ordered the deceased to light a fire in the kitchen about rime o'clock in the morning, in doing whiab she would have to pass through the coal-house. She had lit the fire, and was about supplying it with fuel, when it appeared the fluor gave way. Mrs. Wakelin sent her little . girl for some coals for the home fire, and she returned, say ing that them was a large hole in the kitchen floor, into which it ap peared the girl bad fallen, and which afterwards turned out to bee well 17 feet deep. Mrs. Wakelin then went for her husband—a distance of at least 150 yards—who was soon on the spot, and succeeded in bringing her from the bottom of the well but life was quite extinct. the deceased having been under water, with a large portion of earth upon her body, for nearly twenty minutes. It is a singular fact that the parties had resided in the house for a period of five years without knowing there was a well on the premises. A verdict of "Accidently drowned" was returned.
