It is inspessible to give news than an outline of the mi di.n of his lordship. tided by referring to the books of theessipeay he detailed some of the circumstances under which venom loans were made by the National Society to other nuuratme companies. These loans sad the looms in. nort , al by them vaned in amount from 40,000 f. to 5,1X1111., and were advanced, among others, to the State Fire Insu rance Company, which, at the time of the loans, app j•-are to have been hopelessly insolvent; to tM Tina's lammuice Compasy, to the Agricultural Cattle loste.amo Company, to the Defender Lutheran Company, (.1,1 to exist but iu name), to the Livorno Bank, and other ' col:wens. to reply to Ineetioss as to the various deeds with reformism to which "minutes" were entsnd in the Looks of the company, sail as to their Wine:scatted by the wit sees. Lord Keane said that be eea the deeds put before hint lay the oilier' of the company, who told him that they were correct. He had *lied several deeds under such cir cumstances of which he did sot know the contents. No loss that be halo of were made by the society to say of its directors, except fur the purpose of paying for the capital stock held * the directors In his own came the loan of • ~IW was wide to pay far capital 1 sloth of that amount.

A public nevrspeper, Lluitra Wails News, had referred to it as a question of public interest and importance. That newspaper was sot conducted I. the Stubbs fashion—it had no secret agents, no secret epics. but as a public newspaper it bad its attention called to the bet, and Littler these circuit'• stances the article had been published. He would submit that all it intended to convey warn that the system was rife with danger. and that such a power in the hinds of en un scrupulous person was bad and injurious. The system was this : If any subscriber thought any person a rogue, he was requested to inform the Gazette , so that not only did Mr. Stubbs spy out swindler, but he addressed to the gentlemen whom he wished to protect the insulting proposition that they should do the PAW, In every parish how many men were there who hated their neighbours, and every subscriber had the power of putting his neighbour into Stubbs black list. How mussy persons were there whom be was addressing whose names might he in Stubbs' black list. Mr. Field. whoee younger days hod been passed in catching thieves, had now his private inquiry-office ; but one advantage of his system over Stubbs' was that the former only gave the information he acquired to the person interested, while the latter gave his to the whole world. The Lord Chief Baron—You overstate the ewe, brother Ballantise. It is • secret which is only confided to 20,000 subscribers. (laughter.) Mr. Serjeant Ballantine admitted the seamy of the trassactioo, and that the fact of them being 20,000 sub scribers must prevent any one else from knowing anything about it. (Laughter.) Now, this Stubbs' Gazette was one masa of libel from beginning to end. He had rather admired this young gentleman, Mr. Stubbs, sod he would frankly admit he rather believed him, for be bad gives his evidence with a smiling satisfaction that irresistibly lei to the con clusion that he felt he was doing nothing dirty. (Laughter.) There were street scavengers as well es moral scavengers, but the persons who swept our chimney, or who cleaned out our dustboles were not precisely the class of persons we should wish to see in our drawing-rooms. How did the system work ! John Tompkins had a grudge to Jobs Jones, and he sent in his name to Stubbs' Goatte. John Jones did not read Stubbs' Gwent —k• preferred a lighter class of literature—(laughter)—and them his name . If there were a Jobs doom in onirk he would avies tid him to look at Stubbs' Gazette, and probably he would then find his autograph in mistake for that of some other Jolts Joules, in the same way as the little mistake bad Gemmed before. (Laughter.) Now Mr. Stubbs might be the incarnation of ev ery thing that was bosoonbie and upright, 1104 i jest as good as be thought himself, but who were Stubbs' agents! He tawniest Ballantine) hated spies, and from their employment be had no faith in Muhl,. He thought that the agents of innocent Mr. Stubbs might do very dirty things in the very dirty work which he provided for them. So much for swindlers. But was every person who gave • judge's order or abill of sale to be held up to this publication! A person might raise money for the most honourable purpose, and yet be branded amongst a nest of swindlers. He trusted that the trade of this country would never have to depend on such • system as spies and informers. 'This was • great and important question which the proprietor of this journal bed taken up ; and he trusted that it would he COUD• tea/twig! or supported by the verdict of soy jury of English gentlemen. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said that this was an action for libel by the proprietor of Stubbs' Gazette against the proprietor of Lloyd's Weekly News. The pram of this reentry was Naively free, and if it published anything regarded as questionable, and • ready we. sought in • civil or criminal court, it would be for the jury ales* to decide that poise. The proprietor et a sesirepaper could not complain if oomments were made on the modest of his The idea that the intelligence whisk the plaintiff cit.- ! Waal was mast because it was confined to 20,000 subscri bers was a faros. He could not see any objection to the plain tiff's Gazette if it were limited to the publication of what wee directed to be registered somewhere by the legislature but he did not think that any person would be justified is publishing the names of those persons who had pawned ' articles, though that might be to some rases • guide to credit ; he soak not justify the practice wider which A could complain d B, and then B should be placed under the immetoos el 700 attorneys ; he weld not say that this system of spying behind a man's back might not lead to coesidseable mischief, and certainly it deserved no en cowagernent. But the only gumption for them was not as to the conduct of Stuas' Gazette, but as to the spirit in which the paragraph complained of bad been written. Was it a fair comment on • public man! And here he would say that is using the word fair, it should be need with • large and liberal indulgence to the rights of the public jotunals to comment on public men. Juries owed certainly very much of their freedom to the press, but juries were sot independent because the press 111111 free, bat the press was free because noise were inde pendent. They would say bad this article been written in a spirit of fair criticism—if so, they must find for the defend ant, and if not, for the plaintiff, with such damages as they thought tit The jury retired, and in • quarter of an hour came into court with • verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, one %rebate. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Doc. 17. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) eaAW o. !MAW. . . Mr. Buller moved the court to commit the defendant, a retired house spot, for contempt, in threatening two witaems who were to be called by his wife. It appeared that a few weeks ago Le west to a servant named Martha Dowaheat, sad told her that if she gave evidence for the petitioner he would hays her prosecuted for perjury. She was described as a person in weak health, and as one likely to be intimidated. He had also written a letter to a Mrs. Stewart full of coarse imputations and threats. Dr. Dews, Q.C., and Dr. Spiel's, for the respondent, said there could be no question that their client had behav ed is •vyearryy undignified meaner ; but he had not repeated his and they submitted that the Gads of jostles would he answered if the court discharged the Me sad etedemeed him in the wets of the motion. The court said there could be no doubt that alas air** of the respondent in going to the servant Downbeat was to deter her from coming forward to give her evideues. It would, however, diechart,e the rule, and merely order him is pay the acd& SUCKLING (CLINK) V. SUCKLING AND BATLDON. In this case the petitioner had obtained damages spinet the co-respoodent is an action for crim. con., and the point had been reserved whether Mr. Bayldon should also be ems. demised in the cost' of the petition! The court thought that an the husband bad been put to the exposes of the suit by the nsloomidnet of the co-respondent, be (Mr. Bayldon) ought to pay. An application had likewise been made to direct the petitioner to settle something upon the respondent; bat he (Sir C. Creaswell) did not think it ought to be dose . A case had been cited in support of the applicatios, but the circumstances were there wholly different. The wife had brought her husbandl,7ool. of 1.800/., and there bad been no sett:e meet upon her. A sum of 1,000/. had also been recovered u damages which bad not been paid when the court desk with the matter. I. this instance, however, the damages had been received and probably spent long ago. A girl, named Emma Tatham, employed by the prisoner in his docuestits Weary, had beim in custody for the same offence, and ea alleged improper intimacy between the gner and this women supplied a mama for comuutting oners. Mr. Spooner and Mr. Bodes prosecuted ; Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Elan defended the prisoner. The case had oot coocluded when our parcel was despatched, but we learn, by electric telegraph, that the prisoner was found Guilty sod sentenced to death. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Beton, tb. AmidaatJudge.) -- THE CASIII OT WANT ZEWZLL. Mary Neux//, 22, servant, was indicted for stealing • box containing • coat, other articles of wearing apparel, and • watch, the property of Mr. John Barker, her master, and also other property bedonging to • gentleman named Heath, who lodged in Mr. B ark er's house. Mr. Cooper was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Dickie for the defence. Mr. Cooper, after stating the case, called the prosecutor, who said he lived at 29, Beaborough-gardens, and on the 7th of November, on going out, ho left Mrs. Barker at home with the prisoner, his servant. The prisoner said, before he left, that • st rangei man bad called and said he wanted to repair the window blinds. He returned in the after noon, and afterwards went out again, leaving the prisoner in care of the house, her sister being then with her. At 10 he returned, and knocked and rang, but was not answered, and got into his house through a neighbour's. Be found the plate packed up in a damask curtain in the drawing-room, and the place in confusion. Mr. Heath's room was all in disorder and his property gone. He stumbled over a poker covered with a liquid re sembling blood, and matted with hair ; the back window was broken, and the fragments of glass were on the slates below, which showed that, instead of anyone having got in from the outside, it must have been done by some one in. side. The property mimed consisted of coats, shoes, cra vats, handkerchiefs, • bracelet, opera-glass, a watch, V. in money— value altogether 671., of which 401. worth belonged to Mr. Heath. Needled in the police. A panel hadbeen cut oatof the second Boor bedroom door with a pair of scissors. , and one of his canon. The razor was found in a drawer, jagged like a saw, and the point clone of the scissor blades , wee found at the bottom of the door, it having been broken off. . . . — Glare-examined—All the clothing taken away was men's. He received a good character with the prisoner from a very respectable tradesman in Ebury•street. She had at first 101. • year, which he was about to incase to 111. when the west away. Inspector Humphrey (B) produced the property, and de scribed the state of the home when he went to it. He was sure that the window must have been broken inside, as the glass had been knocked out, not in. The poker was broke., and be found seine hair in a pall in the passage, which was sprinkled with red. Michael Jahn Sheen, 272 B, said he received informatioe of the robbery, and found • cabana who had taken • young era f ro m the boom to the Pastern Comities Railway with loge, boson carpet-beg, and • large portmanteau. He that lowo to Ymisouth, and there he was directed to a boom, where a supposed young man had taken lodgings, it Wng a leiging-lieuan In the parlour he found use of the boxes tied up in canna as a settee. It contained clothes and a quantity of hair, exactly corresponding with the prisoner's and that foetid on the poker. On searching he found • hand-box with a hat in it. The landlady told him that the young man had gone on to the Marine Parade. In three-quarters of an hour the young man came to his lodgings smoking a cigar. The witness said to prisoner that he was an °Soar, and charged her with being Mary As.. Newell, late • ser vant of Ir. Barker's, wham home bed been robbed. She said addle& As she was in mee's elothes, he said he did not wish to do anything Waikato, bat be most search her pocket., and on doing so, be found two sovereigns, three half-crowns, two foreign coins, a pipe in • coat pocket, a watch in the waistcoat pocket, and she told him when a missing pin was. The clothes she was wearing were Mr. Heath's. She said the rap she bought at Ipswich, and wished it to be gives to her brother. The , be had been informed, bad been in Cambridge ro4ire r i. When he took her she had no false whiskers or moustache. She came to the door in a jaunty sort of way after her walk on the Marine Parade. The Modlady said be was a nioe sort of young men. (Laughter.) Mr. Heath was called, sad identified the articles belong infsotoinehim. They were worth about 40i. questions were put to him which the Assistant Judge thought had nothing to do with the was, but the witness was allowed to say that he hid ..an her with a portrait of an actress in male attire. Inspector Humphrey said he found among the property • pocket-book containing theatrical memoranda in the pri soner'. writing, but it was of no importance, and did not relate to the case. The defence set up was ia substance that the prisoner had • kind of monomania for the romantic, and though not exactly insane, was at the time she did this under some idea that she was playing the peat of • heroine in mine melo- drama. She was of very weak mind, and her grandfather and father bath died inane. The learned counsel argued that she had no felonious intention, sa must be inferred from the fact that though ohs packed up the plate she did not take it with her, and that, as far as was know. at pre sent, nothing she took was missing but one pocket handkerchief. It was not madness nor felony, but • ease of diseased mind ; she was not in con stitutional health. Altogether, it was • case one did not hear ef in a lifetime, and wee one more illus tration of the saying, that " truth is stranger than fiction." Whatever might have been her motive at the time, she had net gone to • reedy market to dispose of the property. It was all recovered, sad he ashedited that it was • case in which the jury could, upon the evidence, safely come to the conclusion that at the moment she did this she was under some temporary deludes, and on that pound acquit her. Evidence was then given of the facts stated in the defence, and after • lengthy summing up by his lordship, The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the felony. His lordship, after some remarks upon the prisoner's conduct, in which, be said, the jury could not have come to any other conclusion, sentenced her to 18 months' lord labour. Stimbda johnson, 21, • savage and dissipated•looking woman, was indicted for steeling from the person of a child named Repast a hat and other articles, value 10s., the property of its father. She pleaded guilty, sod it appeared that she had been before convicted, her offence then being robbing a poor servant girl, who was taken ill in the street. Next she was convicted of stealing • child, and cutting off its eyebrows so into make it an object o: pity.

THAMES EMBANZMENT COMMISSION. Yesterday the commissioners appointed by the crown to inquire into the question of embanking the Thames on the Surrey side of the river within the metro. polio, met at the offices of the commission, No. 2, Victoria street, Westminster. The commissioners present were— The Right Hon. the Lord Idepr, iu the chair . ; Major. Genera J. Jebb, K.C. B. ; Mr. John Thweitee, chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works; Captain Helton, R.E. ; Commander Boatel, R.N., of the Thames Conservancy; Mr. H. A. Hoot, surveyor of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings ; and Mr. J. R. M'Clean, C.E. The Lord Mayor, in opening the procsiediop, explained that the commission had been re-appointed by the crown to inquire into the expediency of embanking the Surrey side of the Thames, and into all plans that might be submitted to them which would conduce with the greatest efficiency and economy to the improvement, embellishment, and convenience of that part of the metropolis, and cal culated at the same time to improve the navigation of the river and provide a public thoroughfare without stopping such trade as might be carried on upon the river aide. In the 6rst instance the commissioners wished totake the views of gentlemen connected with the river route and its locali ties, and would then, on the plans being deposited with them, proceed with the consideration of the engineering features. --- Mr. Robert Taylor, churchwarden of the parish of Lam bath, and one of the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works, was the first witness examined, and deposed to the very great inconvenience the inhabitants of Lambeth were put to by the periodical overflow of the Thames in that locality on the occasion of high tides, and for want of seine adequate protection in the form of embarkment along the river shore. As churchwarden he was frequently sent for by the people who thus suffered for assistance, and the parish engine was constantly being called into re quisition to pump out the water from the basement of the houses of the poor people in the neighbour hood within half • mile radius of Lambeth Palace. The water even flowed in at the gateway of the palace it self, and the porter had to pot up planking to oppose it. There was • fund called the " flood fund " in the parish, for the relief of the poorer classes. The raising of the frontage line of the wharves and running up an embankment would relieve and remedy these evils. After adverting to the question of the sewerage in connexiou with the subject, the witness deposed that in consequence of these floodings, the lower portions of the dwelling, alongside the Thames were never dry, even in summer, and the damp generated was very detrimental to health. Mr. F. Knyvett, secretary and solicitor to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, corroborated the facts stated by the foregoing witness with reference to the nuisance and in convenience occasioned by these overflowings, which on an average occurred some 20 times a rear, and the tenants of houses in the York-road and by ilungerford Suepension =were compelled in COCIIINUOOOII to have water-tight to the areas. The mud banks opposite Lambeth Palace were perfectly pestilential, and although the comervaton of the river Thames had thrown immense quantities of materiel there, the mud, which was of the most noxious and roalarious kind, still accumulated, sometimes assuming a pink complexion at low water, and being full of decomposing matter and worms. The smell, moreover, was constant, and extremely offal:sive. Mr. Snook., architect and surveyor, also gave evidence of the desirableness of embanking the river along the line of wharves. The new wharves to be built on the site of the great fire at London-bridge would, in consequence of the flooding of the river at spring tides, be carried a foot above the silt of the river. He was of opinion that any arrange ment for carrying out embankment would be better in the bands of the Thames Conservancy or the Metropolitan Board of Works than in hands of the local hearth. The construction of say roadway would involve • large amount of compensation. The commiseiemare after mine further examination in de tail then adjourned at 5 o'clock. HEALTH OP LONDON. The Registrar-General'a return shows that the mortality of London declined considerably in the first week of December, and it showed a further but not an he tant reduction in the week that ended bat Saturday. The number of deaths recorded in the present return is 1,283. If the rate of mortality had been equal to that which ia obtained by calculatioe from the returns of corre sponding weeks in ten previous years (1851-60) the deaths, instead of the number lust stated, would have been 1,38 i. In the last three weeks the deaths from scarlatina were 81, 70, and 78, hex log been lees numerous than they were in the greater part of November, when they averaged more than a hundred weekly. Diphtheria was fatal in 15 oases last week. Three deaths from eau-Wins occurred in each of the following sub-districts :—Somers Town, Islington West, Hackney, St. Andrew Eastern ; there were sin Lambeth Church (first and second sub. districts), and 4 in Norwood. Amongst diseases of the xymotic class, scarlatina was the moat fatal; typhus, which numbered 59 deaths, was fatal in the next degree. Under this latter head are classed 39 cases returned as typhus or typhoid fever, 10 cases of "fever," 4 of gastric fever, 3 of low fever, 2 of continued and one of infantile fever. Whooping cough was recorded in 55 cases, measles in 25, small-pox in 4. A looking-glam silverer died at the age of 34 years from " mercurial palsy (4 ears), bronchitis . The widow of a grocer died is -street, Goodman's-fickle, at the great age of 99 years. A boy, aged 7 years, is Hotherhithe, received ' mortal burns from sinking into a pot of molten lead, and by his clothes taking fire therefrom." He lived two days after the accident. last week the births of 924 boys and 876 girls, in all 1,800 children, were registered in London. In the ten correepond ioe weeks of the years 185140 the average number was 1,704. THE WINDHAM CASE. After our report left yesterday, Dr. Dalrymple, of Norwich, who was for more than 20 years proprietor of a lunatic asylum, gave an opinion that Mr. Windham was unfit to manage bin own property and money. He believed that be could take care of himself perseasily, but that if he injured anyone wilfully, insanity would probably be pleaded in his defence. Dr. Jams Johnson, who hie practised as a physician io Norwich for thirty yearn, considered him of unsonod mind. A similar opinion was given by the Rev. T. Goodwin, who bad charge of him for • short time at Torquay. Colonel J. - V. Bathurst, who travelled with Mr. Wind ham for about six months, described his conduct during that perion in similar terms to those used by other witnesses. The gallaat colonel believed be was decidedly of weak in tellect and unfit to manage his private affairs. TRIG If I:RDEIt IN REBECCA-COl:RT.—Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held at the klarylebone Work. house, on the body of Henry Munition, a child ten mooch. old, who met with his death at the hands of his mother, Mary Ann Hamiltoo, the wife of a tailor, at 9, Rebecca court, Wells-street, Marylebooe. The evidence was merely a repetition of that given before the magistrate at the Marlborough-street Polioe-oourt the previous day, with the exception of that of the husband, which went to show that he had been out of work for some time, and was in the greatest state of poverty possible. After some discussion the inquest was adjourned by the coroner (Mr. Hamphnes) tall Monday next, for additional evidence as to the conduct of the accused. It was stated by Inspector Hubbard, who attended to watch the use, that the kitchen in which the family lived was a most wretched abode, so dark that even in the daytime ft was necaeary to we a light. The court one inhabited principally by costerniougers, and there is little doubt that the Camay were in a state bordering on starvation. FATAL OUTBACIE IN IRCLAND.—Tho Dungannon oorrlnpundent of the Freeman's Journaf, writing on the 15th inst., says ;—" Early this morning a large Dumber of persons went to the residence of Franca Dixon, who has absconded, being largely in debt, which was is charge of a carittaker named Joseph Donnelly, placed there by I)ixoe's creditors until the furniture, kc , were sold for their beuelit. The party tried to force the front door, and being refused admittance went to the back door and forced it in; they then seamed the kitchen, when Donnelly discharged a gun at them, and shot died one of the party earned Patrick Hillan, • farmer. Donnelly, as well as ten others of the attacking party, are in custody.

Dec. 17.—There has been peat anxiety since the arrival of the Message of the President of the United States, and in the present un certainty with regard to our relations with that country our market to-day has almost been in a state of panic. An ' impression prevails that we are again " dnfting into war ;" and everything is unsettled. Prices are considerably lower for cloth than they were last week, and there is a complete i absence of business. This applies to cloth generally. In I yarns there has been very little business, and the prices of these have suffered rather more than those of cloth. Some spinners are rather more anxious for orders than others. Prices are not quoted lower generally, but they are practi cally so. and some kinds are decidedly weaker. Buyers say that they have had offers of home trade yarns at id. to id. lower, and of export twist at id. t o Id. p er lb. From the returns of the chief constable of Manchester it appeers that the number of people out of work has slightly in creased, but the number on short time has somewhat de aresasd, being 10,500 against 12,600. This report was made before the present panic in the market rod there is reason to fear that our operative classes will have to suffer pest privations this Christmas, if the diseourapmente of spinners and manufacturers should continue, as there is every pro bability they will.
