The length of Unscented wee The CHAIRMAN, in upon thesauri, said it was Brief, but he hoped it would sevicthetess be eeseptatils. The statement of trate, he thought, they walla eowsider • gratifyiag sign of progress, while the espeaditere sorteinly deuced *peony; and, on the whole, the direeton dagered themselves that the results of their report world beer soa ps:um with ell the reports issued this season through the copier. Ile thought it quite unnecessary to take up the tine of the gneiss by remerhing further upon it, and therefore at care proposed that it should be accepted sad adopted. Mr. U mud moonded the motion. Mr. Woone said that at the last half-yearly meeting the direction bad hoes called upon to furnish • belanoe-sbeet in Mature, as they were bound to do by the act. There was, however, no such balance-sheet given on the present cow aloe, and the account was sot satisfactory without it. Mr. SNOWS rose to otdor, sod went ma to observe that he thought the report a very satisfactory one. They had sow • dividend at the rate of 41. 7r. 61.; last half-year it Pm 41.5.. ; and he thought it likely to be their lowest dividend la the month of Assert for all time to come. (Hear.) 11.r.Woorot insisted that it was compulsory upon the direc tors to furnish a full belanarsheet. Mr. Horse, a one of the auditors, contended that the statement of smuts, as contained is the report, was quite sulllciset, sad urged that the sagas' of printing the halsnersbeat Is Mall wield le asemosis. If, however, Mr. Wood wished boned the hslemedellest, he could ban it. Mr. WOODS said be would glee it hie attention when in r at, sad not before. He wished to cell attention to the and Cr. diton and North Devoe lines, upon which 160,000/. had been spent. The directors had told them before that they would be remunerative ; bat they were paying 9,0101 a year off their own dividends. sad altogether had paid 40,0001. The chairman, in a letter, last October, told them that the lines would certainly yield 6 per cent., end would probably yield 8 per cent. ; but he (Mr. Wood) thought they would be fortunate if they received 3 per sent, end then they would be paying 50,0001 a year, end getting 15,0001 , and so there would be an annual loge of 35,000/. Then there was • charge of 19,000/ fora new steamboat. He did not know bow the expenditure cams to be incurred, bet would be glad to see • statement as to what they were likely to get for it. The CHAIRMAN said he hoped manses would in future some • day beforehand, and get the report explained, as they put so many questions, and laboured under so many usigmmeeptionr, that it was almost imp sibie to satisfy them. (Laughter.) With regard to the balanwsheet, their poli sher would satisfy them that the statement famished was quite In accordance with the set of parliament. The Bottetron said that the 116th clause of the company's own act, by which they were guided, perfectly justified the Purse which they titanium. The Cceradsx renmed—With regard to the Enter sad Crediton and North Devon lines, he would offer • few ob servations. The tint bed eat 62.7221 , and the North Devon 117,6951. The North Devon had only ricestly started, sad its dividend would be shown on • future dray, end the Crediton line last week yielded • receipt of smile, which, ice that country, and with s careful expesdi. tare, would, he apprehended, give them a ntisfactory divi dend, as the North Devoe trade was now brought to Enter over it. (Hear, hear.) After some further discussion on various points the Polio& for the tampion, and adoption of the report wee unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then moved the declaration of a dividend for the halt-year, at the rate of 41. 7s. 6d. per cent., to incase tax, to be payable on and after August 10. The resolution was seconded and adopted nem. cos. The CHAIRMAN said as arrangement had been conis tee by the directors, that the exegeses for counsel, &c., of the lib erators from their late bill, in going before the House of Lords, should be paid by the company, and he moved that a gem of money should be voted for that purpose. 8 1 Snareholden inquired "How much?" The CIIAIIMAN said the amount was not yet quite de finite, as some of the bills had not been sent in; but it would not exceed 6001. A $111.,--- objected that they you'd have an oppo sition brought against every bill they might have if they paid the expenses of the opposition. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TITS. M.P., seconded the motion, which was then agreed to, and The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chair man and directors. A WORD OF ADVICE ON VISITING PARIS. A stranger arriving in Paris, if he purposes stay ing more thus a gaup!' of dale, end desires to economise, will do well to take a lodging rather than stay at an hotel. In Paris are a great number of masons nimblest, or houses let off in single rooms, or suites of apartments. Several of them will be found in the Rae Nears 8 Augustin, near the Rue de la PUT, as the Raison de Gout, N 0.46 ; Hotel cif:Meat, No. 48 ; Intel d'Amirsote, liaison d'Alizim The situation is central and conversant, as Pat says, to the principal places of resort. A single room to sane as bed and sitting room may be had from about (at present) 3 francs • day to 5 francs or cane ; an appariensent, use suite of two or more rooms ' of come, will be charged higher. A traveller should inks soap with him : it is seldom to be found in the hotels in France. On arriving in Paris in the afternoon from Lille, I took a 'bus to La Boone, and walked thence to the Nelson de Omit, 46, Its Nene. S. Augustin (I had been than before). carrying my small travelling bag myself, and In live minutes I had engsged a room, and had a supply of bet water to assist in removing the dust I had gathered on the toed. I wee tiertaialy lodged nearer Heaven than I ever was Wore, rho., out cingnseme, bat there was the nsmeserde" above me, and I bad every accommodation I wanted. Ditties my stay I dined usually at one restaurant, o Courrieu, ass Grand Gastronome," in the Passage Choi. seal (where • very good dinner is given for 1 franc GO sea• limes, plus 2 sous to the garcon), and seldom before seven ter eight o'clock, when my day's work or pleasure was over . I breakfasted when I happened to be at tea o'elock--sosse. times cheaply, _bat °fuser the reveres; and I found these two meals sufficient, ncept as regards thirst ; but cool beverages are plentiful in Pub, gad I was not too proud to step into a w7ste•shop, and get two sous of wine, which, wised with a demi-siphon of eau de Belts, is a most nefreshing drink. I did not visit any of eke great vestals numb, as the Rest tic l'Europs, the Diner de Paris as lease to Paris for as intellectual feast, and not for bodily include's/se, and besides, had no money to spare. A tra veller will UV, himself much trouble if he can stow all his baggage in one pareeL and that not larger than he eats carry with ease; a 1.9; shirts, abundance of sake, a pair of shoo, and change of clothes, are all he requires for • week or ten days. lie need not even take his shaving teak* kr 1 noticed all the Beglish in Paris had left of at landing in France, and yeti could tell how We deft bad left home by t ' lse length of their beards.

The parties continued to live together until the end of 1842, when &Anthem arose between them which led to than separation. Ia 1863, Colonel Fyler, who had been with Me regimeat in India, returned to London, and he coca charged with having committed adultery with a person unknowc, but with whom be was alleged to have lived as man and wife at the Pier Hotel, Margie. This was proved by the landlady, her servants, and other witnesses. On behalf of Colonel Fyler, who has returned to India. • recriminatory plea was set up, Mn. Fyler being charged with adultery with • person named James Lewis Farley, and calling himself a barrister. Wit seem were called to prove that they had token lodgings in several places as brother, or brother-ia law, and sister; but not the slightest evidence of indecent familiarity was adduced. To supply this, • washerwoman, who bad washed for Mrs. Fyler for about a fortnight, was °thinned. Drs. Phillimore and Spinks appeared for Mrs. Tyler, sad Drs. Hayford and Tines fee the husband. The learned Jade* said it appeared to be admitted oa all hands that the adultery of the hathaed was proved, if the identi:y was established. He considered the Identity fully proved, and he was also clearly of opinion that the wile cad Mr. Farley cohabited together as man and wife. Heath accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-AUGUST 10. IMO= ML COMMISSION= FAN& IN HZ JOHN THRZER HARSH. The bankrupt was described as a woolbroker and banker, late of Selvadorkonse, Bishopsgate-street. This was a meeting for the last examination, and also for the declara tion of the first dividend. The assets, it appears, will reaps* a coneiderable surplus above 20a. is the pound to the creditors.

There would be a surplus of some thousands alter satisfying the orediton ; but there was a further proof for 6,548?., the computed proportion of the bankrupt's share of the lose in oured by the Royal Bank of Australia, which he requested his Honour to admit. Ms Honour—The unfortunate gentleman has been killed by the Winding-up Act. Mr. Harris—He has been killed by unlimited liability, U you please. Mr. Plewa, for the dimmed baakrupt'a representative, objected to the neeptlea of the proof on the ground that the order of the Master in Chancery was not produced, and also that there was no eau on the merits. Mr. Harris said that if the cue were adjourned he would be prepared with the Master's order; but in the meantime applied to enter a claim for the amount. This was agreed to, and the ease was adjourned to the 17th Sept., when the fiaddividend will be declared. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-OBOYDON, AUGUST 10. Five special jury causes were upon the List for trial this morning, but the first three were referred to arbitration, and in the other two the parties were not ready, and they were consequently struck out; so that the whole five were dis• posed of in lees than an hour, and his lordship then prc• weeded to try common Jury eases. COOtts 0. PoOLIY. This was an action to recover 901, a baltyeat's annuity upon a b - ind given by the defendant for 6,0001.; and there was also a cutlet in trotter to recover possession of • cheque for 1,5201., part of the consideration money t.f a bow: for 6,0001 given for the purchase of a sionary interest in property belonging to the plaintiff. Mr. E. June*, M•C.• Mr. Brown, and Mr. Barrow ap peared for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Clambers, Q C., and Mr. Peteradorff, were counsel for the defendant. Mr. James, in his address to the jury, described the case as one of a curious character, and be said he should lay the facts before them as shortly as he could consistently with the peculiar nature of the inquiry. The defendant in the action was Mr. Ale:ander Bothell Pooley, who carried on the business of a money agent, in fact, of a bill discounter, in Nicholaelane, in the City. The plsiatiff, Mr. William Frederick Cooke, was • young man—a very reckleu young Man—and undoubtedly jut the sort of person upon whom people like the defendant fattened and thrived, and who, les in the present cue, they but too frequently plundered of everything they possessed in the world. He became ac combated with the defendant in 1848, and at that time he was entitled to property in reversion at the death of his father to a very large amount, bath in the funds and in land. As was too often the case under such circumstances, he was desirous of raising money upon his expectations, and at the inducement of the defendant he consented to dispose of portions of his reversion to him at different times. The transactiors, however, between them appeared to have been of a very extraordieary character, for although the defend. ant nominally was to give large sums of money for the interest he purchased, he never did so in reality, bat used to give notes of head, payable by instalments monthly, and it was extraordinary that the plaintiff should so long have submitted to the plunder that wee practised upon bim. This course was, however, carried on until the month of August, 1852, when the plaintiff, pressed by his necessi ties, was desirous to dispose of the whole of his remaining interest in the large property to which he would have been entitled, and the defendant agreed to purchase that interest for five thousand pounds, and the bond which now formed the subject of inquiry wu prepared with a view to carry out tee intention of the parties. The same course of proceeding, however, was adopted by the defendant in this as in all the other eases where advances were to be made, and instead of the five thousand pounds being handed over to the plaintiff, an annuity bond was executed by the defendant, in addition to the original deed under which the plaintiffs interests were conveyed, by which he undertook to pay the plaintiff an annuity of 1801. per annum, by twelve monthly instalments of 161. each. The supposed considera tion for thus annuity was stated to be the sum of 3,2761., which would leave a sum o( 1,724/ still unaccountf d for ; and after the deed of sale had been muted, the defendant handed to the plaintiff a cheque for 1,5201., the remainder, as he said, being deducted for interest and Nets, and the jury would be surprised to hear the extraordinary course that was then taken by the defendant. Almost immediately after be bad given the cheque he informed the plaintiff that at that moment there was so cub at his banker'. to meet it s and he requested him to hold it for a few dam and he cos. seated to do so, and the fury would judge of the 'street& nary influeau he possessed over the young man by the feet that about • fortnight afterwards he induced him to return him the cheque. When he did so he told him that be would act as his banker, and he might draw upon him fen the amount; bat since that time to the present the unfoe tenets plaintiff had n received one farthing on account of his cheque, and the defendant at length denied that be was in any way entitled to it. The learned counsel cole elided by stating that the result of these proceedings wee that the p:aintiff had been deprived of every farthing be pees d, and the whole of the large fortune he would have been entitled to had been swallowed up. The present action was, therefore, brought to recover one half year's annuity upon the bond executed by the defendant, and also the cheque for 1,5201., el which he had been deprived by the defendant. The only plea the defendant had thought fit to place upon the record was, that the deed In question had ant been roperly enrolled according to the provisions of the statist*. He should show, however, that there was no truth in the pies, and that the deed had bees properly enrolled, but he could not help observing that, under the circum stance,, the wickedness of Inch a plea could not be too tbellfily_cusin'ained Of. Mr. W. F. Cooke, the plaintiff in the station, was then examined. He stated that he was 84 years of age, and he was entitled ter considerable property upon the death of his father, who was now near seventy years of age. He would become entitled to • share of money in the funds amounting to 30,0001., and landed property worth from 10,0001. to 15,0001. He bad unfortunately now none of this property left. The defendant had swept away the greater part of it. The annuity bond, upon which the present action was brought, was all he had now to live noon. Rh first became sequaiated with the defendant in 1848, when he earned on business as a bill discounter, in Nicholu.lane, Lombard. street, and they had several money transactions together, and he disposed of various portions of the property he had In reversion. In August, 1852, an arrangement was made, under which he was to dispose of the whole of his remaining interest, and a deed was executed by him and the defendant with that object. The deed was sailed for and read. It appeared from It that the plaintiff and • brother were entitled, under the will of their grandfather, to a sum of nearly 40,000 in the funds, and also to • considerable quantity of freehold and oopyhold peepeety. The deed also recited that the plaintiff had bike esteetatisrett his there, sad that the defendant was villas in give the sum of 5,0001. for the whole of the re faring latrasit of the plaintiff, subiest to all the easels. beam that bat been created, and aloe to the eantingeney of lb hate bevies more eland's'''. The examinalisa of the plaintiff wee then proceeded with. He said that be bed /Maisel some money from the Bever. be'loamy Waist am • portion of the property be MI ac s m y leseesetioas wit), the defeatist. It was aneagoll Sat be wee use to be paid the 6,0001 con siderseilm te ea Yes es s seesselonee7 interest, but the de teadeat 01 Ma eaavitv of 1841. a year for life, payable by y instalments. The coaehleretioa fee the annuity was to be 3,0001. odd, and he expected to revive the balance is stoney. The d.feadaot executed that deed is December, 1852. (The deed was pot in and read. It stated that 3,2761. was to be the amount utoonsideration for the annuity sad also that this sum wu retained from the 6,0001., relined to in the deed of sale. The deed likewise contained a proviso that if the plaintiff took any steps to prevent the defendant from coming into the possession of the property in which he had the reversionary interest, at the death of his father, that in such ease the inanity bend should be forfeited, and all payments that had been made under it were to be refunded). The defendant gave him a cheque for the Wanes of the 6,0001. oa the day when the deed was executed, at the of of Mr. Austin, the solicitor, who prepared it. He had sines returned that cheque to the defendant The amount of the cheque was only 1,5201., and the defendant said that the "remaining 2001. would be absorbed by the coati. Immediately after the defendant had given him the cheque, be asked him not to present it, u he bad no cash theft at hie banker's, and witness therefore did not present It About three weeks afterwards the defendant asked him to bring the cheque with bun, and he did so, and he then asked him to give it to him, and he said he would place it to his account, and he could draw upon him for the amount. He gave the defendant the cheque upon that understanding, and bad wanted some money from the defendant on account of the cheque, and he put him off two or three times upon different excuses, and a length upon his pressing him he said he did not ows him any money, and he should not give him a farthing. Witness threatened to take proceedings against him, and he told him that if he did BO he would forfeit hie timid. It was in consequence of this threat that he was induced not to take proceedings until the present time. The annuity was paid regularly until last year, but the last half year had not been paid. In crose.examination by Mr. Chambers, the plaintiff said that he bad borrowed money of his present attorney, Mr. Thomas, and he had aseigned his annuity as security for the repayment, and had instracted him to give the defendant notice not to pay him the annuity, and he believed that was the reason why the last half.year's annuity had not been paid. Hb bad always received the annuity regularly every half.year up to December. He bad n followed any profusion, but the moment he attained hie majority, he commenced borrowing money upon his reversion. The first transaction he had was with the Reversionary Interest Society, and he lived upoa the money he obtained from them until he bums connected with the defendant. He considered that the defendant was swindling him, but still be kept on with him—he was compelled to do so, in fact, because only a aerials slue of persons would deal with re. versionary property. When the defendant told him that be would not paylim • farthing, he did not quarrel with him, because he knew that he was In his power, and he did not apply to any Utensil upon the subject. Blau this transao • ties he might have borrowed small sums of money of the def ndant, sad upon one occasion he charged him 21. for the loan of 101. Upon another occasion he asked the defendant to pay 61.6.. to a club, and the promised to do so, bat did not. Re-examined—Upon a former occasion, when the de fendant purchased some of his property, he retained a sum of 3001, sad he drew upon him for it, and he thought the same operation would have been carried out with the cheque for 1,5201. He bad upen'some occasions asked the defend. ant to advance him his annuity, and he charged kim 6!. for the loan of 201. . . . Mr. D. E. Austin, the solicitor employed to draw up the deed of sale, proved that the defendant instructed him to state the amount of the consideration to be 6,0001. He also said that it was understood that the balance should be paid in cub, sad, after the deed was executed, he saw the defendant hand a cheque to the plaintiff. He could not MO the exact figures upon the cheque, bat he saw sufficient to satisfy him that it was a chigoe for a large amount. Mr. Yardley, who bad formerly been clerk to the de fendant, proved that shortly after the 23rd of August, 1852, he saw a cheque for 1,6201. drawn in favour of Mr. Cooke in the possession of the defendant, and in his pre sence he destroyed it. Evidence was then given that the annuity bond bad been duly enrolled in the Court of Chancery is conformity with the provisions of the statute, and this closed the ease for the plaintiff. Mr. Chambers then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Pooley, the defendant, was thea examined. Be said that the understanding between him and the plaintiff was that he was to give hint an annuity of 1801. a year for his life, for the remainder of his sionary interest, whatever it might be. He said the reason why the annuity bond was not executed until December was that it was necessary to have a stop order placed upon the funded property by the Court of Chancery, and this could not be obtained at the time the deed of sale was executed. Under these circus. stances he suggested that a cheque for 3,5201. should be given to the plaintiff as a kind of security that the annuity bond should be executed, and when he had signed it the plaintiff returned him the cheque. He said that he paid the annuity regularly on the Ist of every month up to December tut, and he should have paid the last half-year if be had not received notice from the plaintiff's attorney not to do so. After the deed was executed the plaintiff fre quently wrote to him for money, but he never aaked for the restitution of the cheque. In croes.examination by Mr. Jamey, the defendant said he would rot swear that he did not instruct Mr. Austin to state the amount of consideration money on the deed to be 5,0001. The value of the annuity was estimated at 3,2761., a-.d be gave the cheque for 1,5001 as security for that amount. He could not state whether the annuity deed was executed at Mr. Austin's office, but wherever it took place be was sure that the plaintiff handed the cheque to hint at the tame time. Since the transaction he had placed the deed of tale as security with • get leman with whom he did business, for the sum of 5,0001. The letters referred to by Mr. Chambers were next pat in and read. _ _ _ _ _ W Mr James then re-called Mr. Austin, and he said he bad no recollection of seeing the cheque handed by the plaintiff to the defendant upon the occasion of the execution of the annuity deed, and it turned out, upon reference to a memo randum made at the time, that the deed was not executed when both parties were present. Mr. James then made a most able reply upon the whole case, calling upon the jury to disorlieve altogether the evi dence that had been given by the defendant. The learned Judge baring summed up, the jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount sought to be recovered, viz , the half-year's interest on the bond, and 1,5201., the amount of the cheque. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1855. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BairroL, AUGUST 10. HILL V. 66666 M. Colo opened the pleadings. Mary Hill was the plaintiff, and Charlotte Stevens the defendant. The action was brought to recover compensation for libels contained in three letters written and published by the defendant. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. Stone stated the ease. The plaintiff, Mary Hill, was • youag person tilling a respectable but humble situation in ; the defendant, Mrs. Charlotte Stevens, a lady of pro perty, residing at Frederick-plaee, London ; and the plain tiff complained of Mrs. Stevens having written three several letters of a most libellous nature respecting her character. Mary Hill, down to the 24th of June, 1854, lived as servant with Mrs. St , and previously to that no stain of impu tation had ever been cast uTton her character. On the even ing of that day, Mn. St , and • sister who lived with her, bad been out for • walk, and on their return, the sister, Mn. Feirlie, stated that she had had 6s. stolen from her drawer, and the plaintiff was accused. The plaintiff was most indignant at this, and demanded that she should I be given in chirp to • policeman, so that either her innocence or her guilt might be established. This the defendant declined to do, but insisted on her leaving her service ; and she also said, " I will write to every one who knows you, and tell them what a thief you are, and why you left my service." The plaintiff, her character being thus assailed, and she being dismissed summarily from her situation, did what an innocent person would na turally do, and sued the mistress in the Cleekenwell Count Court for • month's wages. The case was heard on the 27th of Jess, sad ;the County Court judge ordered the full amount of the wages to be paid forthwith. A short time' subsequent to this three persons to whom the plaintiff was known received letters in the following terms : " 23, " Sir,—ln the event of Mary Hill Galling upon you, or referring to you, I think it right, in common justice to my self, and to prevent any imposition on her pert, to inform you why she left my mother's service—namely, the abstrac tion of money, breaking open drawers, sod the contents missing. It is molt palatal to me to make this statement, but if you will call en me I will substantiate i t, ate., " C. E. Strzvexs." This wu the libel for which the action wu brought. He (the learned counsel) understood that it would be con tended that the letters were not written by Mrs. tterens but by her son Mr. Charles Edward Stevens, but it mat tered not by whose hand the letter was written. If the jury were of opinion that in fulfilment of her threat Mrs. Stevens had been a party to their publication the plaintiff would be equally entitled to recover reasonable compensa tion for the injury so maliciously dose to her character. The plaintiff was then called, and deposed to the tuts as opened by Mr. Stone. She expressed her belief that the letter was in the handwriting of the defendant's son Charles; , the signature of it she believed to be in Mn. Stevens's ewn handwriting. Witnesses were also called. Mr. Collier submitted that the plaintiff mat be nonsulted, as no case for the jury had been made out. Mr. Stone, contra, said the plelutiff had expressed her belief that the signature to the letter was in the handwriting of the defendant. The learned Judge said he did net think that he could stop the ease, but he would give Mr. Collier leave to move, if he chose, to abandon his right to call evidence. Mr. Collier said be would prefer taking a verdict, and he then mended to address the jury for the defeadant, who he said was a lady of the highest respectability, and who, to her great mtefortaae, had hired the plaintiff as a minute. There was no justification plead on the record, and he (Mr. Collier) was not there to contend that the plaintiff bad eont milted the theft alleged against her; nay, he was willing to hope and trait that she was innocent of that charm. Bat rs this be would say, that M. Stevens had acted en bona fide empictioe that she had done so. So far from ever having entertained any vindictive feeling towards the plaintiff, she bad always treated her with the greatest kind. sees, cad he should distinctly prove to the jury not only that the did act write the letters, but that she had ao kaowledge whatever of their having been written until some days afterwards. The Muth was, that the defendant had a ens, Mr. Charles Edward Stevenr, whe happened to have lest some Nockerehiefs. Now, young Mr. Stevens could have endured the loss of mosey sr goods, but whirs he loud that his wardrobe had been invaded, and his favourite ties abstracted, he could restrain himself no longer, and, in an irritable moment, he eat down down and employed a clerk is his brother's Aloe to write the very foolish, and, he would admit, improper letter, which formed the subject of the action. Mrs. Steven, and her eon were then called, and both of them swore distlactly that the letter was written at the dic tation of the latter, at his brother's counting-house in White Hart.court, and that it, and the other copies of it, were signed by himself, and sent without the cognisanoe of the mother to the parties to whom they were addressed. This evidence was further supported by that of the brother's clerk, who deposed to booing written the letters at Mr. Charles Stevens's dictation, and to baring directed them and posted them from White Hart-eourt. Mr. Collier then proceeded to sum up the evidence for the defence, pointing out how completely it had borne out the statement made by him to the jury. Mr. Stone replied at much length, elonementing upon the testimoay of the defendant and her son, and asking the jury to come to the conclusion that Mrs. Stevens had fulfilled the threat which she held out to the unfortunate plaintiff on the 24th of June, and had been privy to the publication, if not to the absolute writing, of the letters. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, the jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. THE POLICE comma MANSION-ROUSE. 1 The justice room was crowded during the day, the final examinations of prisoners cbarged with the late robberies of silk and watches, and jewellery in the City, having been appointed to take place. Antonio Zap, Tltoenneo Dowini si, sad Joeeppe Beooli, were charged with having stolen a quantity of silk from the Donee of Messrs. ROOMS sad Co., of Bread-street, ware housemen, and F. C. Rossi with having received it. Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution. The additional evi dence was as follows Mn. Eliza Idiols, of 63,0 reek-street, Soho, said—The pri bonen Zago and Bevoli lodge at oar house, and have lodged there for the last three weeks. I also know the other two prisoners, DOMfililii and Rossi. They have been in the habit of visiting Zaire and Buell two or three times a-day. On Thursday evening lest, between au and 6 o'clock I went into Zago's room to take a tray of linen. The prisosen Dominisi and Bevoli were there. They were measuring a large quantity of black stuff from off the table on to the bed with a yard tape measure, which I had lent to Bevoli. The black stuff resembled the silk produced by the pawnbroker, I noticed the width particularly, and It was as wide as that produced. About half an hour afterwards Zago and Rossi came in together, and went up stairs, and soon afterwards Bevoli brought down to me the money for the lodeing and the washing hills, and whilst he was in my room Zagu and Rossi came in and asked why he was so long. I saw nothing more of them that day. I went up to make the bed the next morning, but the black stuff I had seen was not there. oroeseiamiaed by Zago—You and Beyoli lodge in the house. lam sure of it. Zsgo—lt is not so. Bevoli does not lodge there. Cross•examined by Rmai—lt was between fly* and six o'clock in the evening that you came into my room. William Idiok, who wee 10 years of age, said—l live with my mother. I have often seen the four prisoners at our house. I saw Rossi on Friday or Thursday last weds take a parcel of black stuff under his arm from our house. The paper did not cover the ends of the parcel. I saw him because I let him out. It was in the afternoon. Caroline Oodtforneaa — l iOdie;tiro:6l,Oreek-street. Soho, in the first-Boor, in the room adjoining that in which Zago and Bevoli live. I hare Ken the whole of the four prisoners there. On Thursday I saw Rout and Boson there, between fire and six o'clock. There were three or tour of them in the room, and I heard them speaking together from my room. They said, "This is your share, and this is your's," and I heard the sound of money. It was spoken is Italian, but I under stood enough of that lanouage to know what they meant. Cross-examined by Itiiesi—lt wu between five and six o'clock that I saw you because it was before my dinner, and I dine at six o'clock. Mr. R. A. Heath, the Bar man vies-consul, most kindly interpreted the evidence during the long investigation. Zago said he wished t 3 have a lawyer. Domiaini said he was innocent, and if he remained in prison ten days more be meant to die. Bevoli said he wanted justice, and Rossi said he could prove that he was away from the scene altogether. The prisoners were then committed for trial. Thomas W. Bea!, charged with having feloniously broken into and entered the dwelling Douse of Mrs. Louisa Barber, in Cheapside, and stolen a great number of watches and a quantity of jewellery, was brought up for final elimination. Mr. Wontner attended for the prosecution, Mr. Dun comb* for the detract. B. William', 473, said—l know the prisoner by sight. I have seen him in the neighbourhood of Cheapside, in Lawrence-lane, and Honey-lane-market. On Sunday, the Bth of July, I saw him first at fifty minutes put 4 o'clock at the corner of Freeman's-court, in Cheapside. I saw him again at 6 o'clock near Honey-lane-market. He was stand ing there with another man, and when I came in sight they separated, and one walked up and the other down Cheap. side, and I saw nothing more of them that day. I saw him again on the following Sunday at 11 o'clock in the morning,at the corner of Laorence-lane ' with the same man very nearly opposite to Mrs. Barber's shop. Directly they saw me they went away together. I saw him again at 15 minutes put 11 o'clock, in Freeman's.court, opposite to Bow-lane. I saw the other man there about six &today. running. Sic of the Sundays were before the Bth of July, and I have pointed out the other man to several of our °Moen. I pointed him out on the Bth of July. The prisoner, who negatived a great deal of the evidence by his gesticulations, said he would leave his cue in the hands of his solicitor, and was committed for trial on the charge. The prisoner was then charged by Mr. Wontner with having feloniously received some watches and articles of jewellery, the property of Meson. Demo and Co., of King William-street. Mr. Wontner called Brett, the detective officer, who said —Accompanied by my brother officer Haydon, I appre hended tte prisoner at 31, Baden-place, Hackney road. upon the charge of robbing the premises of Mrs. Barber. I saws eard-table in the room where he was, and in the well of that table I found, amongst other property, nine gold watches, three Albert chains, three brooches, four pairs of gold spectacles, 21 gold pencil-eases, three neck-chains, 23 gold mounted eye-glasses, &e. I have shown the whole of this property to Mr. Beverly. As I was about to search the card table (I bad previously asked the prisoner a question), he aid,' find no drawer there; you'll find nothing there." _ _ Mr. Dancombe objected to the course punned by the offi cer in examining the prisoner, and to the statement made es evidence, upon the ground that it was contrary to law. The Lord Mayor overruled the objection, and said the police practice in that respect was recognised by the judges. The property was then produced and sworn to as part of that which had been stolen from Means. Deane and Co.'s premises on the night of the robbery, and the prisoner was committed for trial as the felonious receiver. BOW STREET. Joseph Levi, a well•dressed man, with bogs black whiskers, who slid he wu • tailor, living at 26, Justin street, Westminster, wu brought before Mr. Henry, charged with being concerned in stealing a gold watch, worth 7L 10s., the property of Mr. Minaret, 1, Cecil-street, Strand. . . _ William Wilder, assistant to Mr. Brown, pawnbroker, of 4, Ryder's-eourt, Leieester- square , stated that the prisoner called at his employee shop and offered the gold watch produced for pledge. Witness examined it, and findieg, from the number of the watch, that it was oae which had been lately stolen from the prosecutor's, he detained it. Having sent out privately for a policeman, be asked the pri soner what he wanted upon the watch, and he replied 41. He then inquired where it cams from, to which the prisoner replied that he had purchased it only two or three hours previously, adding, shortly afterwards, that he should de cline to give any more information about it. By this time, a constable having arrived, the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. George Minuet, the prosecutor, watchmaker and importer, stated that he occupied the second floor of 1, Cecil-street, Strand. The watch produced was his property, being one of a large number which were stolen from his rooms on Monday last. Witness's son had cleared the watches from the Custom-house, and witness had deposited them in a box in his bed-room, the door of which was kept locked. During his temporary absence, however, on the evening in question, the room was entered, his portmanteau broken. and 34 wanks*, a gold chain, a purse of money, de.--emenating in all to 3001. in value—was stolen. He had °SW a reward, and a desniption of the stolen pro perty bail been circulated in the handbill. From the statement of Inspector Mackenzie it appeared that the robbery was effected by a well-dressed man, who had taken Is in the house the same afternoon. He described kimisit as a traveller, and having some heavy log age with him, the occupier of the house, Mr. Dignum, tailor and army clothier, admitted him without inquiry. His heavy boxes were taken up into a room, and he took pos session; bat having left suddenly an hour or so afterwards, some suspicion was excited. On nomination it was found that the above robbery had been committed. The " I. lees " boxes were forced open, hut were found to contain nothing but briekbats wrapped up in an old counterpane. He is described in the handbills as about 28 or 30 years old, 6 feet 7 or 8 inches high, fair assoplezion, brown hair, no whiskers, and dressed in a black Cambridge amt. The prisoner said he received the watch from a Mr. Bea jambs, his brother-in-law, who took him to a street leading out of Ringsgatettreet. Holborn, and asked him to get 4L or 61. upon it, promising to Ist him have all over 41. for hie trouble. Mr. Henry remanded him for further examination. HAMMERSMITH. A respectably-dremed young man, with moustachimosho gave the name of Maximums Magner, of No. 1, Alfred place, Bedford-square. and who described himself as a merchant. was brought up on remand from the previous day, en a charge of assaulting Polintsostable Aldridge. No. 163 T diviska, while in the execution of his duty, and also with attempting to rescue a prisoner from his custody. Some particulars of the can hays already appeared. On Wednesday afternoon Police-constable Aldridge and some other diens wore engaged quelling a disturbance among same "navvies," when the prisoner. who cams up in a light spring cart with two other parsons, interfered, end by hie conduct incited the mob to resist the police. It was I also stated that the prisoner kicked Aldridge after be had I been knocked down by one of the " navvies." The prisoner on the former examination denied doing anything more I than remonstrating with the police, who, he said, were I treating some of the " names " shamefully. He also said I that he had not been able to oontinanicate with his friends, and therefore the magistrate granted an adjournment. Mr. Payntsr now asked the n prisoner if he ►ad written to his friends, and whether t►ere were any present. The prisoner said a latter had reached them, and that Mr. Lee and another gentleman, wko were in the cart with him, were new in the neighbourhood of the court, but they had refused to appear, as his name had appeared in the public papers, and his friends were afraid they would be compromised as he had been. Mr. William W. Prole, a gentleman residing at No. 1, Heasingtonpark-gardens East, was then called by the police, to prove that they used the greatest perseverance in the capture of Briggs, and also to their being very much M used by him. Re sddad that he did not see the prisoner interfere. He, however, said that he knew from his own knowledge that there were a great number of foreigners in this country employed as spies in the Ruuian service, and from the fact of the prisoner, who had represented himself to be a German, interfering in the manner described, led him (the witness) to entertain a suspicion upon hie be haviour, which he thought the prisoner should explain. The prisoner again declared he was innocent of the charges, and denied most positively that he assaulted the police. He said be belonged to a most respectable family, and could ob tain references from some of the most influential mercantile houses in this country. His sister had appeared before the Queen, and as to any supposition that he was a Eunice spy, it was quite false, and he could prove that his employ. ment was an honourable and peaceable one. Mr. Faynter said he had no doubt whatever of the cue, which was in some respects a remarkable one. From the m in which the prisoner spoke the English language, it was quite evident that he was conversant with the cus toms of this country, and, being a foreigner, he must have known he bad no right to interfere. Now, the most re markable point against the prisoner was, that although he could get references from the best houses in London, not a single person had come forward in his behalf. It was his duty to make an example of the prisoner, and he lined him 61., or one month, for his am►ult on the constable, and a further sum of 61., and an additional month's imprisonment, for the attempt to rescue. The prisoner was locked up is default. MARKETS. TALLOW. The tallow market, after declining in the course of the week to 545. 6d. for delivery in all this month, and to 554. 3d.

Great part of the heavy first crop of hay has been rendered worthlem. A good deal of old grass, however, remains yet to be cut, although it bas long been ripe, and there is still the prospect of good second crops from artificial greases. The corn, though a good deal laid almost every. where, has not taken ashy very serious harm from the rain as yet; but a harvest which, under the most favourable cir cumstances, must have been a late one, will now be still later, and the chances are always against a late h t. There is rather too much wet for potatoes, and it is such weather as we have at prcent which develops the disease. Pastures are fresh, and oats and beau look well enough; but the weather really suits nothing but turnips, end these are crowing with exuberant luxuriance.— Sundt/land Herald. WIOTONSIIIII. The ground is now saturated with moisture, an unusual circumstance for some months past. The potato disease has now made its apparatus in more plates than one, and from the state of the soil it is likely to spread rapidly, unless the weather becomes dry for some time. The rain of Ibis day (August 6) has laid wheat very much. Oats are not so heavy a croßas to be much laid, but barley has more or less suffered. Turnips are generally a fine crop for the period of the season.—Ayr Advertiser. Litcssransuinn.—This week has been one of great &sale, to the farmers. A low state of temperature, a cloudy sky, and frequent showers, are unfavourable to the corn crop when approaching :maturity. Mildew is generally anticipated for the wheats, especially those lying In low situations, laid and hemmed in by high hedges. The red rust has manifested itself in some localities. The biuley crop, where heavy, is much tangled, and from the number of blighted ears and the effects of a superabundanee of wet, can hardly be said to promise the yield which it promised a month age. A good deal of hay has been carried during the week, but we fear in a very unsatisfactory conditioa.— Natant/tam Review. NOTTINGEANSIUZIL—The earn crops in the district of Mansfield are promising, and are fast assuming that rich autumnal tint that enhances the beauty of the landscape, and obsess the heart of the agriculturist. Two or three l weeke of fine emu weather are now wanted to elleur that bountifal harreet, and we fervently help* that the crops may yet be got safe, for there cannot be a doubt that much TAM at the present time would prove injurious to the heavi er crops and the fields already laid by the storms recently visited various parts of the country. The m ew crop looks well, nor are thee, at present, we belles,, ee , symptoms of blight to be met with in thi s district —ibid. soots DIMBVIIIIRE.—Our hay harvest does not afford us a very cheering consolation, but the wheat crops ex, ee the whole looking well, and are standing up better than w e could have expected after the heavy rains we lave he. The ears are a fair length and seem filling well, pronlineg s full average crop. There will be little wheat ready to cut before the 20th of this month. Barley has a mast excellent appearance this year ; a few fields at the extreme mete of this county are almost ready to cut, and with a few shiny days a good deal would soon be secured. Oats are looking pretty well, and, though rather thin, will be ahem en p. Potatoes are looking very fine indeed, and all early sown ones are free from disease.—Netlinyhee s R e . view. ESSTI.—From the examinations made by us recently, lee venture to assert that in no previous season during the men twenty years has the variation as regards the yield been greater than will be found in the crops of the p year. In seasons in which the wheat comes slowly into ear, like the present one, the ability of the wheat-midge (accident* &ilia) to effect mischief is increased, and hence the very general complaints we hear from all quarters of the great damage that has been effected upon the present growing crops of wheat. In addition to this the heavy stoma that succeeded the fine weather have beaten down the crops of wheat and barley, and the latter especially, to an astoniah ins extent, and very serious injury will thereby follow. I e speaking of the coming prospect of the wheat crop of this county, we have no hesitation in stating that it will be found very inferior, in point of yield, to that of the pm. vious year, and under the most favourable circumstances we cannot bring ourselves to an opinion that it will even reach en ge crop. It is only upon minute investies, tion that such conclusions have been obtained, and having made it attentively, we venture to pronounce our opinion decisively to that effect—Chelmajord Chronicle.
