For these masons he he e ,„—ed to move that the bill be read • third time t' :‘t day three months. Lord t'H ELMSIORD said his object had been to pre. mat being assailed either by one side or the other. On the one haul sic fi.ireil to be told that he had relaxed the rigid oteservanee ..f the Lord's-day '• on the other , that he had interfered with the rights and liberties of the people.

He had nut, therefore thought it right to abandon the subject altooether. On the other hand, it was said that the poi- were unable to obtain their wages till late on Saturday ; oral if no opportunity had been afforded"( making purchases ..a Sunday, then he knew perfectly well the ueble lord would have said, " this is most ve." Between these opposing difficulties be had emdrtvoured to steer hie way as carefully as possible. Redid hope, therefore, that the kill would agent receive the assent of their lordships, sal that it would as soon as pos sible be sent down to the ether bond of parliament. Earl GRANVILLE did not think the complaints of the noble lord, as to the opposition which his halloo' met with at its present stage, were justifiable; for the measure was now quite a different one from that to which their lordships had given • second rooting. He (Lod Granville) hail a great objet Lido to the employment of the police in enfor c in g the provisions of the bill ; but that portion of it having been etru.k out, he was informed that the measure had no longer any chance of lemming operative at all. He am no inconsistency in objecting w legialation for enforcing the observance of the Lonls-daL itaa sad at the same time in objeetam to glee any degree of tire maim° to practices on that day which they l ull deprecate. The noble lord admitted that an improved moral feeling had been found sufficient in Liverpool to pit down OuoLly trading ; but what was there peculiar i the um .4 that city, which did not bear a particularly good re putation as rug:tried drinking! Why 'hoold nut the me tropolie be equally arninehle to moral influences! Indeed he was informed that though there was now MON, Beadily teatime in Lorehm than formerly, it had not increased is ea !noel ratio with the population ; and therefore ft bed in reality dimiuished. As the bill offended the religious feelings of a portion of the community; as it might iuthet hardship upon another if it ROM ever carried mit; ..nod so he thought it very injudicious to at tempt ' , Violation of this kiwi unless there was • miteembie prospect of its proving snootadul, he should vote for the ameudrnei t.

HOIISE OF LORDS.—Joie 6. HUD V. o. MD. These were two appeals from the decision of the Court of &chequer Chamber reversing a judgment of the Clown of Queen's Bench, the plaintiff appealing against one point, the defendant. aga inst another. The action was tecmght for the infringement of a patent for improvements in sm. chinery, or apparatus far preparing, stubbing, and roving cotton and fibrous substances. A verdict was given for the Siatiff ea which • rely was moved to set aside the ver or the pound that a disclaimer which had been damned a different invention from that described in the Pidfication, and for which the patent wee granted ; but t rule was discharged. Leave, , was given to appeal, and the Exchequer Cham ber bald the potent was valid, but that there was no evidence of infringement to go to the jury ; but inasmuch as no leave win reserved at the trial for the entering of the verdict for the defendants a new trial was ordered. The present appeals were then brought. The Solicitor-General, Mr. KOMI" Mr. Grove, and Mr. Webster appeared for the different parties. Judgment was postponed. EQUITY COURTS.—Joits 5. (Before Vice-Cbanoollor Sir John Stuart.) NdITII:101 O. It appesred that Mir Nottidge died at the " Ap pemone," near Bridgwater, of which Mr. Prince is the bead, in 1858, ten years after she made the transfer; and that the plaintiff was her administrator, and that the made the transfer to Mr. Prince and joined the Agapemone in 1848, just after she had been released by order of the lunacy comminioners from the private asylum of Dr. Stilwell, where she had been placed by some of her relatives, and bad been in confinement for more than 17 months. Mr. Prince, who had been or dained • clergyman of the Church of England, in 1840 be came curate of Mr. Starkey (afterwards • member of the Agapemone), who was then rector of Charliuch, in Somer. @cubits, and continued there two year., when owing to his preaching and lecturing in the neighbouring parishes he was de*ved of his license by the bishop of the diocese. He then removed to Stoke, near Clam, in Suffolk, where Mr. Nadi* lived with his four daughters.

Upon Min Agnes Nottidge, who was thus ordered to marry brother Thomas, objecting to marry him before a settlement had been made providing for any family she might have, Mr. Prince immediately replied that there would be no need of anything of that kind, that it would not be in ac cordance with her present calling, and that her mam sge ' would be purely spiritual, to carry out the purpose of Prince th en informed them that it was the will of God that thrs7 should be married at Swansea in • few days, and upon their objecting that it would cause great sorrow to their mother if they married without first going to see her Prince told them that they must not be influenced by such feelings, and that if they read the Book of Jonah they would learn the result of acting contrary to God's com mand. The three marriages took place shortly afterwards— in July, 1845—at Swansea. From Swansea Prince removed to Weymouth, and thence to the Agapemone. A considerable amount of evidence was adduced on both sides as to the state of mind of Mies Nottidge, and of the circumstances under which she made the transfer to Mr. Prince. fhefollovring letter was read by Mr. Malin : "Windsor-terrace, Brighton, June 21, 1845. "My very dear Agnes , — lt gave me pleasure by • letter front dear brother Cobbe to learn that he had seen you off safely by the mail on Thursday morning. By this time you we either with the beloved Brother Williams, or else with the dear Sister Mabel. I know their love in Jesus, and that they will do everything to render your sojourn in Swansea good for you ; but I know something more, I know the boundless love of Jesus, he will be with you, for his eye is on you end whatever is good, that he will bestow, whether it be joy or sorrow, ease or trial, comfort or difficulty, all thing are yours, for you are Christ's, and Christ's is God's. Let not your heart be troubled under your present cirtum. stances, neither let it be afraid of what friends or foes may suggest. Abide in the spirit and will of God ; then will your peace be like a river, wide and overflowing, and your soul will be sweetly borne along the stream of time until it reach the ocean of eternal love and rest. What I my unto you, I say also unto your sisters Harriet and Clara. Assure them of my love, and let them trust themselves to be eer ried by faith in the arms of Jesus whithersoever he will —not whithersoever they will—and they and you will find he will do you good at your tatter end. My beloved Agnes, I must write to you just what the Spirit leads me to do. This I do with the more confidence, because I believe you have an ear to hear what the Lord may say unto you through him thatloveth yon. You mentioned your desire to have • settlement of your property upon yarreelf. This I assured you would be very agreeable toz feelings, and is so st il l : Ind last evening, waiting on this matter unexpectedly wee brought before me. I entirely put it away from my thoughts, leering it to take it. course as you might be led to act, but Cod will not have it so. He shows me that the principle is entirely contrary to God's Word, and altogether at variance with that confidence which is to exist between us, who are one spirit. This desire on your part must be abandoned. Give it up to God, and show that you can trust his faithfulness, and I can Wine you repose in him will not be disappointed. I know God, and I know that none who trust in him shall ever, can ever be confounded. He that path an ear to hear let him hear. As regards the promise you made your parents, I would merely say that any promise made when you were unconverted, and which was not in accordance with the Word of Clod, you are not bound to, neither would it be et:in you to adhere to. I must bid you farewell, and ve me to abide, in ninth love, " Yours affectionately in the everlasting covenant, "BROTHER THOMAS." Accordingly no settlement was made. Mr. Matins, (Ix., and Mr. Wigram submitted that the transfer to Mr. Prince was made by Miss Nottidge when she was under his spiritual influence, and labouring under such detester:millet be was God Almighty, or that the spirit of God dwelt in his body, as amounted to insanity, and con tended that the court could not under such circumstances uphold the gift to Mr. Prinoe. Mr. Bacon, Q.C. (with him Mr. Bmide), for Mr. Prince, submitted that if there wee spiritual influence, it was of such a general nature that the initialer by Miss Nottidge could not be attributed to it, and that the spiritual influence alleged to have been exercised by Mr. Prince over his fol lowers was not greater than that exercised by the Roman catholic priesthood, and exercised over the followers of many other religious sects. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., had only just commenced the defence when the court rose. The case will be continued to-morrow after the motions. Vice-Chuicellor Sir W. P. Wood.) BORCHC.E V. BORGHERF. This snit was iwititnted to determine the right of the plaintiff, who claimed ar the present representative of John Earl of Shrewsbury, to one-half of the residuary property of that peer. The claim was hosed upon a oontract entered into by the earl, upon the marriage of his daughter, to pay 10,0001. as a dowry, and over and above that one-half of his residuary estate. The decision of tho Lase rests upon ques tions of Roman law, and the most eminent advocates of Rome have been examined on both sides. The evidence is, therefore, very voluminous, and not a little contradictory. The came had already occupied the court for more than a week, and the plaintiff's case was only concluded to-day. Mr. Rolt, Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Matthews appeared for the plaintiff ; the Attorney•Genend, Sir F. Kelly, Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Gifford, Mr. Baddeley, and Mr. Dickinson were on the other side. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES.—Juits 5. (Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. 81/011 Martin, and Mr. Justice Wiles.) The court to-day concluded its sittings for the present term. It has disposed of 47 of the 153 cases on the paper, the greater number of them having been undefended oner. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Jr'cE 5. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.)

WRECKS IN MAY.—It RprellES from the monthly summary of wrecks published in the Skipping Glardne, that during the month of 'May the number of wrecks was 121.

Mr. Digby appeared as counsel for the prosecution. The learned Judge, after severely admonishing the delinquenta, sentence d three of them to live weed& imprisonment, making their incaroustion in all three months each, and the four others were ordered to appear for judgment when called upon, their parents' recogutianees being taken for their appearance. David Jones, 52, was indicted for unlawfully assaulting, to., Elizabeth Mary Ann Seymour, a girl between ten end twelve years of age. Mr. F. H.

Mr. LlNDfiAYn;;ellora;;l;elCOMsritire to inquire into the organisation sad management of those brandies of the Admiralty, War-ollice, India-cdftee, anti Emigration Board, by which the business of transporting, by mamas of shipping, troops, warble, emigotols. materials of war, stores, and'eay other similar services, was now performed, with a view of adopting some uniform system e la a r a lsie uy li web orricee might ecouomimlly and ecasinetai, seder the authority of one ammo• Waled and reacomdbis &pertinent. The honourable imam= altd it nesmemary tlist le should War any remarks in brew et the Imam, as he understood the* it would not be opposed. Mr X. SEYMOUR ereondsd the motion. Lord C. PAGET mid he should not oppose the motion of his his. friend ; bat at the same time he feared there were mom difieulties involved in the question than might at fret sight appear. He understood his hon. friend to propose that the Emigration Commissiooers should be formed into a pvr fectiv independent board, and that whenever the War-o Moe required any transports, either for the conveyance of troops, or provisious, or warlike stores, they should apply to those comniimiunere with a view to having their arrangements carried out, and that the Secretary of State for India should do the same with regard to the whole Indian army. There was no doubt that such a board would have to perform very important functions, and he was not quite certain, suppwttg such a board was established, that it might not fall into some of the errors which his right ham. friend the member for Carlisle feared from one i nd ependent board having to deal with another iudependent board. He wee bound, however, to say that he had nut heard there had been such very great faults in the present system, nor any want of attention on the part of the Admiralty. There wee only one iroggestioo he s hou ld make to his bon. friend, which was that he should soaker the words of his motion as to leave it to the committee to report their own opinion upon the natter. (Hear.) Sir J. PA.ELNOTON expressed the great satisfaction he felt at the government granting the committee. It was not a convenient time to enter into a dis cussion of the details, which would become the subject matter of inquiry for the committee. Whatever arraugements should be made with respect to the army of India there could be no doubt that the trans port of that army would require a speedy and economical system. The pamphlet of Mr. Alexander Wood—aud there was no man more competent than he was to treat of this subject—stated that soldiers could be taken to India and back, if the contract were for their passage both ways, at the rate of rbf. • man; while the present sort was about ISt. a man to go to India, and :W. to come back again. With a better system of transport they might, as pointed out by the bon. and gallant member for Wigan, have a better system of relief, and it was highly desirable that there should be an improved system for the soldiers in India. Instead of sending out drafts they should send out battalions, and each a system would be an advantage to the army and more monomial to the public service. Mr. LINDSAY said it might be wrong to grant the motion as it stood, end therefore he would consent to the latter part being left out. He would just observe that he did not desire that the Emigration board should take upon itself the whole duty of the transport service, hot it should be remembered that that board was not fully occupied at the present time. The motion then, as amended, was put and agreed to. CIVIL SERVICE F-CAIIINATIONS. Mr. R COCHRANE moved that for the future the civil service comnirioners should publish with their animal report all the examination which during the year had been submitted to candidates, specifying the proportion in which the maximum of marks had been assigned to each branch of knowledge ea divided amongst the questions con. rained is each paper. He said that Lord Monroe/ had, in another place, described this civil service examination as • trader of the whole patronage of the crown to three irrespowilsie gentlemen, who knew nothing whatever of this departmenta to which the candidates, if successful, were to be appointed. Lord Brougham had said that when the plan was Ent promulgated, people held up their !made in astonishment, and with these authorities to sup port him, he (Mr. Cochrane) was not demanding too much ia asking that the commissioners who worked such an exa mination should be called upon to make their proceedings as pablis is possible. The hon. gentleman had had before hies, he said, mess of terrible hardship, in which persons, after Now years of service, in the event of promotion or teenier, bad been subjected to examination and been de ' hated by yoaager INS crammed for the occasion. He idate ex tions put to eited • little by citing some rather perplexing goes cand& The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the mo tion was open to great objection, end could not be conaidered apart from the speech of Mr. Cochrane, the animus of which could not be mistaken ; he appeared to regard the idea of examining candidates for the civil service by com missioners al mischievous and absurd ; and the real <pea dos which should have been avowed was whether the arras should be maintained or abolished. He justified the made of eternisation, and even the quedions cited, and seaseted the unfair otmtagems that wouhl be prompted by the mom Mr. Cochrane had recommended. The motion was et the 111.11•1 of • censure and discouragement of the iramemieleare,, and it was an attempt to force the house to leierfase at a time when a corumittie had been appointed M inquire into the very subject.

Mr. DENMAN moved for leave to bring in • oill fin th e amendment of the proceedinp on trials for felony and mis demeanor. He explained that the object of the bill was to assimilate the praetice in criminal eases to that which now *anted in rah more to civil awed, by giving the counsel kw the prisoner a right to address the jury after be had called him evidence instead of before. Mr. W. EWART seconded the motion. The AITORNEY•GENERAL, in assenting to the intro disctin of the hill, thought the house were indebted to the hon. and learned gentleman for the attention he had given to the question. At the same time the subject was rue of inelAderable diffindtv, and he therefore abstained from pledging himself to any opinion apon the provisions of the bill. Leave was tLea given to bring in the bill. NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday, at the owes, Enidon square station, to consider the question of exercising the power. ce conferred upon the company in "The North Railway Additional Capital Act, 1860," which has just received the royal assent. Mr. Mammas took the chair, in the absence of Mr. Scott, the chairman of the "' The Aisnutair observed that the act authorised the com pany to raise additional share capital, by 15,000 shares of 101. each, sad to increase the debenture bond debt by the sum of 50,0001. The meeting were aware that the company had from time to time raised temporary hens, the interest of which bad been borne by the revenue account. Those looms amounted to 85,0001. A farther sum of 25,0001. was sow required to purchase additional engines sod rolling stock, which he was happy to say the increaeing trails on their line demanded. The proposal of the directors was to issue the whole of the new shwa, limiting calla thereon for the preseent to 51. per share. This, with the borrowing power given them, would furnish an amount sufficient for the objects in view. It was proposed to offer these new in the fi rst in stance, at par, to the North London seideea, rateably aseardiag to their present holdings. Each shareholder would be entitled to three of the new shares for every 2001. stock ; and it was further proposed to require the payment of a deposit of 21. 10s. on the allotment, and to make a further call of 2/.loe. on the let of October next. The chairman concluded by moving a resolution that the meeting sanction the steps contemplated by the board, steps which would have the effect of leaving their income wholly clear. Mr. Eirenr, seconded the motion, which was unani mously carried. The - CusitussO, ht acknowledgfing a vote of thanks which wan then carried, ow the motion of Captain Porter, spoke d the North Loudon Railway as the brightest feather in the wing of the London and North Western Company.

Corm or ALDIRtIEN.—A Court of Aldermen wee held yesterday at Guildhall ; the Lord Mayor presiding. Mr. Alderman Lawrence moved that copies of certain bills sow before parliament for taking the census should be sent to each member of the court. He did so because the Eng lish bills would throw upon magistrates the duty of inflict ing penalties upon persons who may refuse to make returns of their religious opinions. He considered the attempt to introduce that new principle into the country in reference to matters of religious belief to be most objectionable, and one which, if made in France, Russia, or Austria, would have been stigmatised as an act of despotism. Considerable discussion took place on the subject, in the course of which various opinions were expressed in reference to the clause in question, the result being that the motion was agreed to. After the transaction of some formal buskins the court adjourned. CITY SEWERS CONNISSION.—At a meeting of the City Sewers Commission yesterday, at Guildhall, Mr. De puty Christie presiding . Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported that the mortality returns are below the average fur the season, and show a satisfactory state of the public health. In the course of the lad fortnight there have been but 76 deaths in the City. The average for the corresponding period of the last four yearn being 81. Only 25 were among children of less than five years of age, and 20 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were diseases of a chronic character. There were but 20 deaths from affections of the respiratory organs, namely, 5 from consumption, 5 from pneumonia, and 10 from broo chitin. Of the zymotic class of disease there were 12 deaths, namely, 3 from fever, 3 from sma ll -pox, 2 from whooping cough, and 1 from ea ch of the following : Erysipelas, mea sles, scarlet fever, and dysentery. 97 birth, have been re gistered in the fortnight ; namely, 54 boys and 43 girls. Hr.txrii or LONDON.—The weekly return, issued by authority of the Registrar• General, states that for the week ended on Saturday the London returns of deaths ex hibit a considerable decrease. The weekly number , which was about 1,200 at the beginning of May and aftrwards 1,100, was at the end of the month 1,004. For the ten years, 11350-9, the average number of deaths, in the weeks corresponding with last week, is, with a correction for in crease of population, found to be LOSS. The mortality of last week was therefore less by $4 deaths than the average rate as obtained for the end of May would have produ ced. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in the same time by Ma The deaths referred to &emetic diseases were 2'24, the corrected average being 259. There were 17 from smallpox, 5 of which occurred in the Smallpox Hospital. Measles, which has lately shown an increase, was fatal in 51 cases ; but this number is not greater than that of the previous week. Five occurred in Islington, 5 in Stepney, 4 in Rother hithe, 5 in the two sub-districts of Lambeth Church. There were 27 deaths from scarlatina, sad 7 from diph theria.

Cm Cur RCHES. —The ins pec tors of burial grounds-Messrs Grainger and Hol land lave sent in a report to the Home Secretary relating to City churches. They state that the proposal fur removing some of them, which boa been made be the Rev. Charles Hume. is not to disturb any of the burl grounds, but simply to take down such of the least wed of the City churches as may he de termined upon. Messrs. Grainger and Holland are of oprr. nice, if it be proposed to take down any church, and build warehouses, dwellings, or schools upon is rite, that the most satisfactory plan would be to remove the human re mains beneath the churches to be taken clown entirely, and re-inter them in some appropriate place of sepulture. This comae, they say, is not free from objection, and great can and expense would be seeded to prevent darer and annoy anoe to the public and just cause of complaint t o th e f r j m & of the dead. But with very careful management they be lieve that it would be possible tojtuard against this. FUNERAL PrJr.QUDOTES AT WLSTMINtiTER A BEET.— With reference to the funeral of Sir C.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. George Field, a T reriWasicta l ;iYoud young man, in the em loy of Von der Heyde, wholesale tobacwnist, Lower -street, was charged as follows. Detective Molyneux said last evening, about 6 o'clock, he was in the shop of the pr osecutor, in Thames - street, and he there saw the prisoner give a small parcel to a boy, and tell him to leave it next door, at the public-house, till - called for. About two hours later he saw the prisoner leave the warehouse and go into the public-house where he had told the boy to leave the parcel. He (Molyneux) followed him in, and the prisoner received the same racket which he had given to the boy. Witness stopped him, and asked him what he had got there. He replied that he had lilb. of tobacco. When asked what he was going to do with it, be said he was going to sell it to a friend at the wholesale price, and that he had his employer's permission so to do. Molyneux not feeling quite satisfied upon that point, took him to the station, and afterwards proceeded to his residence, where be found a quantity more of tobacco, 12 cigars, and several snuffboxes. Von der Heyde said the prisoner was in his employment as foreman of the shopmen, and had been with him between three and four years. Lately, having suspicion of him, the present inquiries were instituted, which led to his detec tion and apprehension. He would Da swesz to any of the articles found at the prisoner's lodgings except one snuff box ; but he believed they were all his property. The pri soner had not permission to sell anything to his friends or on his own account. The prisoner now said he had no defence to offer ; he could only say what he had told the policeman, viz., that he took the tobacco out on business purposes. The Lord Mayor said that be must send him for trial in that one, as it was equivalent to " not guilty. The prisoner's mother earnestly entreated that her son might have bail, but this the Lord Mayor declined, as he thought the case was of too serious a nature. MAELBOROUQH-STREET. A respectably•drened min applied to idr. Beadon for assistance and advice under these circumstances :—Some time ago his daughter accompanied a family to the conti nent. He bad recently heard that the gentleman, ander pretence of procuring her a better situation, had introduced her into a house of ill-fame in Paris. He bad been informed that his daughter was detained in this house, and his object in coming to that court was to ask the magistrate to apply to the French embassy to interfere. . . . . . Kr. Beedon asked if the girl could not get out of the house, or was she detained there as a prisoner ? The applicant said be was informed that his daughter did go out occasionally, but she was then closely followed and watched, so that she could not get away. All her letters were opened and kept from her. Mr. Beadon said the proper course to take was not to apply to the French Ambassador here, but to write the particulars to the English Ambassador in Paris, who would no doubt institute inquiries and act accordingly. The applicant thanked the magistrate and left the court. SOUTHWARK.. Cornell ex Reding, awe man, who described himself as a leather merchant, of 6, Southamptonderrace, Pentonville, and Pierre Hardouire, a Frenchman, also stating himself to be a leather merchant and commission Kent, et 80. 7, Long-lane, Smithfield, were charged with attempting to obtain property of the value of 2001. from the Bricklayers' Arms Station of the South Eastern Railway Company. They were also charged with forging the name of Mr. William Stockil, tanner and currier, 37, Long-lane, Bermondsey, to various documents. The circumstances of this case are as follows :—Mr. William Stockil, tanner and currier, of 37, Long-lane, mon Eng Lise , has for many years carried on business not only in , but in all parts of the continent, having agents at Parts and elsewhere to transact his business ; comequently the firm is well known in every capital of Europe,. He ob tained • puns medal at the Exhibition in 1851, and • first class medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1855. The prisoner Bea* was aware of his extensive transactions abroad, and by SOM. means he or some of his companions had a facsimile almost of his bill-head engraved with the London Exhibition on the left and the Paris Exhibition medallions on the right, making it appear as the genuine bill-head of Mr. William Stockil, the only difference being in the address. The genuine one being 37, Long-lane, Bermondsey, and the fictitious one, Long-lane, C. The latter have been printed on fly sheets, on which orders were written for goods of considerable value and forwarded to the continent. It is strongly expected that the gang have succeeded in de frauding a number of Paris and other continental houses through the well-known name of Mr. William Stockil. But a few days ago it. came to the knowledge of the latter's agent at Paris, and hence the discovery, and apprehension of the prisoners. Mr. Combe asked whether any goods had actually been obtained through those mew? Mr. Stockil replied that goods valued at 2001. had been obtained in his name already, and uo doubt if publicity was given to this case the police would be able to find several other instances. Both prisoners declined to ask any questions or make any defence, when Mr. Combs remanded them until Monday nest. WA N DSWORTH. Mr. S. Fenn, the superintendent of the V, division applied to Mr. Ingham, on behalf of the commissioners of police, for • summons against a person named Charles Perren, to show his right and title to the holding of a fair in Wands worth. For a great number of years a fair was held on Whit-Monday end the two following days in a field ad joining the railway in Wandsworth, and was always attended by a large number of the holiday folk. In consequence of the complaints of both the inhabitants in Battersea and Wandsworth, steps were taken by the police authorities to abolish it. Above two years ago a summons was taken out tathe owner of the field, Miss Phillips, and as no t and title could be shown for the holding of the fair, the magistrate, Mr. Ingham, made an order for its discon tinuance, and placards, notifying this judgment, were pub- tidied for 15 miles rood London. Notwithstanding the ' order, a Wandsworth Fair was held on the following Whit suntide in a field on the borders of the parish adjoining Battersea, and within a short distance of the old fair field. This year, to the astonishment of the police, a fair was attempted to be held in the old fair field, and on the Saturday before Whit-Monday caravans, booths, and swings were displayed, and there appeared every sign of the original Wandsworth Fair being held on that day. Mr. Fenn applied to Mr. Ingham for his advice as to whether he had the power of pulling down the booths and swings, and taking into custody all persons found in the field. Mr. Ingham expressed au opinion that he had, but in order to be certain, he recommended the officer to affix bills of his decision, declaring the affair illegal, in the field ; and also to obtain an authority from the commis sioners to resort to violent means. Mr. Fenn proceeded to Scotland-yard, and obtained the authority, but the notice had the desired effect, for the field was cleared before the day was over. However, they only proceeded a short dis tance, and resumed operations in the field where they took up their quarters last year. The fair was held with its usual success, and delighted many thousands of her Majesty's 'objects. Mr. Ingham called the attention of Mr. Fenn to the law, which specified that the fair must be annually holden, for his interferenee. Mr. Yaa~ rid the fair was held last year and also this year. Yr. Ingham rid be would grant a summon!. SEIM DE IN MILLIIMII PRISON. —Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest yesterday in the governor's room at Millbank Prison on the body of a woman named Rom Dyer, aged twenty-seven, who had committed suicide by banging herself in one of the cells. It appeared that the unfortunate deceased, who had been sentenced to three years' penal ferrite& for robbing her employer, had pre vious to her removal from the Westminster Mouse of Cor rection attempted to hang herself with a silk handkerchief. and had afterwards expressed her determination to commit suicide on the first opportunity. Ste was closely watched, but succeeded in abstracting a cool from her hammock with which she carried out her fatal intention.

Some of our spin ners whose Dont/sob are running out, appear anxious to sell, and are willing to take rather lower rates than last week. This applies not only to yarns for export, but even the home trade is dull, and the prices of all descriptions of yarns have • downward tendency. In the cloth trade we had last week • complete suspension of business for I 'Wirt goods. Buyers would not operate at any price. We have so far an improvement to-day that there are buyers in the market willing to purchase at • moderate reduction. The reduction in these goods is about a penny per d, and at these prices a moderate, but very erate, busing* could be done. So far there is a great improvement as com pared with last Tuesday. A telegram to hand, dated 16th May, from Calcutta, brings more unfavourable advises thence ; and similar account have been received from Born. bay.

MA.NUFACITTRES. —HUDDERSPICLD, JUNE 5. —The buyers attending to-day have not been numerous, and the operations in business transactions have been on a more limited scale than formerly, which is accounted for by the season being too far advanced for summer goods and too early for the commencement of the winter trade.
