THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1861. sOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY. The half-yearly report of the director% of this company shows a net revenue, after pa tit of the interest on the debenture debt, of the divdeoi on the preference stocks, and of all the working tepee ses, repairs, dtc., for the half-year ended the 31kh of June. 1961, amounting to ti,KW. 2t. ; add surplus carried over from laet half-yeer, nil. 11, making au available lialauce of ee. 91 From this the directors recommend that a dividend be decieredfor the half-year of 11. 10a. per cent., payable on the 31st in stant (being at the rate of 3 per cut. per miaow,. amount is; on 3n0.350 1 . ordinary stock, to 5,4u11. fs— femme a "T- O , " to he carried forward of 1,7K9. M. 9d. The accompanying accounte exhibit “u iucrease in the amount of earnings as compered with the preceding halt -Year, end a diminution in the vim kiln expenses. The directors will lose no opportunity of 'leaking such fur ther 'eduction as may be practicable without impairing efficiency ; but they look principally to an increase of traffic fey such is progreselve increase of dividend as may realise the just expectations of the prom ietory. With regard to Certain =dings reported in the news:ewers, which have taken p in the Court of Quecu's Bench, and more recently at the Winchester Assizes, whereby a few inch have been endeevouring to compel the commission .of the ier and harbour of the pert of Southampton to demand from the dock company a considerable sum of money, being the alleged difference between the sum of 1,010. per minium, which the dock company were required in 1543 to guarantee to the commissiouers of the pier and harbeer. and the rates actually received by them, on goods, watt., and iiterchundise, the directors state that the object of this gum:cote° was to secure to the pier and harbour a revenue to that extent ; and further, to secure the interests the bondholders who had advanced money to the conitoienimers ;and this object lms been more than ful filled. The effect of the coustructien and opening of the &eke, instead of diminishing the income of the her and Harbour Commissiooers (as hail Levu apprehended, and on eecouot of which the guarantee had been required) has la-en a large adelitiou to their general revenue, nothwithstanding a falling off in their receipts for goods, wares, and merlon ' thee. The commissioners and the town council were both fully aware of this fact, and of the greet advantages derived by the port, and by the town of Southampton generally from the docks and the operations of the dock cowpony, and in a liberal and enlightened spirit feit that they had no claim upon the flock company ; :.i..1 have never, in the 15 years dune."' which the alleged u tter has bees ateurnulatieg, made any claim ma account thereof. The law proceeliugs above referred to have been instituted by Cie parties before mentioned, who are endeavoring to Nem the corporate.° to compel the Pier and Harbour tom miesioners to demand from the dock company the alleged armee. These have been hitherto ex parte proceedings; the dock emeepany not haying limo heard, and having taken no pert in them. Should thew individuels be successful in compelling the Pier and Harbour Commasiouen to attempt to enforce the peynient of this alleged arrear, which is are tainls tea probable, the directors are advised that the flock tympany are neither legally nor equitably liable to pay any such armee ; and that the Pier and Harbour Com missioners can establish no claim on the dock company in respect thereof. iLatu Enid'tents.

Mr. dolmen yesterday efteruooo said, " the accounts were made up on falsified books." Mr. Linklater—His clerk is present. Mr. Hnzlitt (Hargistmr)-31r. Johnson is very likely out of town. Mr. Plunkett—No, Le was at his of this morning. The Conitnismoner said he could not wait, and they must proceed with the merits of the case. Mr. Plunkett—The official assignee has not even sent the book over. (After a brief delay the books were brcught into court.) The examination wee then proceeded with. The bank. rapt admitted some of the entries in his books were not correct. Mr. LinLlater said all the items objocted to had been in quired into before the official auignee, who considered the bankrupt's ainowers aid& wady satisfactory. Mr. Plunkett l saw the official assignee yesterday after noon, and deny that statenieut. Ultimately au adjounnient was ordered to tho 6th of October nest. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—AuursT 15. (Before the Chief Commissioner.) This was the first sitting in the vacation, and the court was thronged from 10 o'clock in the morning. 'Dere were as many e 4 txi,e., besides protection cases and other matters in the cause list. IN RE RA( HET. I.E\7aoN. This insolvent, an enameller of Lidice faces, applied to be discharged on sureties till the bearing. Mr. Macrae opposed for Me.srs. t.rant and Cask, silk mercers, of Oxford-street ; Mr. Dowse (with Mr. Robertson Griffiths) supported. pr 4n o :l e ection was taken on the ground that one of the sureties sought to justify on some goods in an auction room. There bad Ikron law p • between the insolvent and the opposing creditors, and she was in cus tody at their suit. Mr. Macrae raised an objection to the application on the ground that the insolvent was a minor, and therefore could not legally petition under the Prison Act. The Chief Commissioner was of opinion that the point as to the infancy could remain over until the bearing, and with respect to the amount of bail in this case he should reduce it from 41Mw. to 2001. The discharge was ordered. IN RE GEORGE PIERSON 111 This insolvent, whose case had been adjourned sine die ender the Protection Act. applied for a protecting order. Mr. Dowse opposed, and Mr. Griffiths supported. It was elicited from the insolvent that be had since the adjournment of the ease been residing at the same place, and had not avoided his creditors. He said he was not aware that a sheriff's officer had been endeavouring to find him, with the view of an arrest. Mr. Griffiths remarked that the insolvent had been 12 months without protection. The Chief l'ammiasioner said if there were no new facts the insolvent might have his protecting order, founded on the affidavit made by the insolvent on which the present application was made. Mr. Dowse intimated that a sheriff's officer had tried to find the insolvent, but could not, or he would have been arreeted. Ha Honour said there was no evidence to that effect, but, on the contrary, the insolvent bad sworn that he had bon accessible to the creditor. He thought that there was main to prevent the insolvent having his protecting order. Order accordingly. very unhappy • au she dill not know all that had taken place until several montns afterwards, when the plaintiff in. formed her of the conduct of the defendant, and said that she had written twenty letters to NM and he had not answered one of them. - Upon receiving this information she wrote to the defendant, entreating him to do justice to her daughter, aad to keep the promise he had made, but he sent her no reply. In September List she determined to see the defendant, and found him at an inn iu Lynn, and she asked him why he had not answered her daughter's letters Y He replied that this was no business of hers, and upon her asking him whether or not he intended to many her daughter, he said that he would not take notice of any girl who took notice of other men. Witness asked him what he meant by this statement, and the defendant re plied—" She knows." Witness was very angry with him at this, and said she would take that cloak of religion off him if possible. Serjeant Sbee—l believe the defendant did always profess to he very religious, and used to talk about the solemnity of marriage. Witness—Yes, be always professed to be a very religious man, and said th►t he and his family entertained very high church principles, and that he was in the habit of expound ing the Scriptures to the boys in his parish once a week. (A laugh.) The witness added that she told the defendant at the same interview that she was determined to appeal to the law if she could 410 so. Crowexamined—The first time she saw the defendant at her house was in 1859, but she had heard before that that he had been in the habit of paying her attention whenever he met her, and that he used to leave any company he was with to go up to her and shake hands whenever he met ber. Matthew Middleton, the brother of the plaintiff, proved that upon one nomaion, after the defendant bad been intro duced to the family in February, 1859, they wore smoking a pipe together, when the defendant said to him, " I suppose you know upon what terms lam come here upon Wit ness told him he did not know, but he had an idea, and he should know when be told him. The defendant then said, " I have been seeking your sister a length of time, and we have agreed to be married as soon as the arrangement. can be made ; " and witness replied that he was god of it. and hoped they would be happy. This was the plaintiffs PAC •..... . . . . . Serjeant Shee then briefly, and in most eloquent terms, summed up the evidence, and said that it was clear that the defendant was unable to adduce one tittle of evidence to sup port the insinuation he had made spinet the character of the plaintiff, and there we. not the slightest doubt that ho had been guilty of a most heartless act of seduction, which called for exemplary damages- Mr. Denman then made a most able address to the jury for the defendant. He said that as the law at present stood in regard to cotes of this description, there was this anomaly,that a plaintiff or defendant could not be examined to show the jury under what circumstances the promise was made, and he could not therefore place the defendant before them to give his version of the transaction. He then pro ceeded to remark upon the slight evidence there was that any promise had been given, or am to the position of the defendant, and be asked the jury for both these reasons not to give any more than a moderate amount of da Mr ma .Justice Blackburn in Bumming up, observed upon the absence of any information being afforded on either side whether or not a child had been born. Scrjeant Shoe mid it would be admitted that no child was. born. The learned jwlge then proceeded with his gumming up, and said that he hoped the jury would take this and all the other circumstances of the case into their consideration, and give such an amount of damages as they considered reasonable. thst the detention of the luggage was merely a device to !recur., at least part of that mosey. The prisoner Crosby was found guilty of unlawful wound ing, and was sentenced to one muntles Imprisouuteut. The other was discharged. SOLT!! WESTERN NEW NTEAJI NAVIGATION COMPANY'. The Lalf-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this companv wax held yesterday afternoon in the bambrouni of tl e south Western Railway Station, Waterloo-bridge. Mr. Tt:r. presided. Tue notice convening the meeting having been read, the report was submitted to the proprietors. It stated that the neuotiativos for converting the slums of the company into terrace stock of tho South Western Railway Conip.iny b.ul not led to any definite arrangement. A dividend at the rate of per cent. per annum was declared. The Camillus, is moving the adoption of the report, said the lows which the South Western Company held would expire ea the Int of August, 'SQ. According to the present arrangement, the South Western, at the close of the lowa% was to have given them value for their *harm in taaawr. They knew, however, that at the last meeting almond resolved to propose that the South Waters should pay them in the preference stock of that company. The resolution had been conveyed to the South Western hoard. but the question of amalgamation was still under coosideratinu. The money market had been unfavourable to any arrangement. The difficulties from that quarter, however, were now diminishing, and at the next meeting it was probable that the terms of some definite arrangement would be Lod before tne shareholder 4. The adoption of the report was duly seconded, and unani mously carried. A resolution. authorising the payment of the dividend, was then agreed to, and the meeting terminated with the ordinary vote or thanks to the chairman. ;us? MIDLAND RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of thin company was held at Worcester yesterday ; Mr. W. Frireme in the chair. The following is from the report of the directors :—" The director,' beg to present to the shareholders the accounts of the company for the ball-year endiog June :10, 1861. The total receipts of the undertaking from all sources amount to 175,4481.3 x. 9d., and the working expenses are 1;1,7041.4.. 9d., being at the rate of 46.57 per cent., leaving • balance of net revenue of 181,7411. 19s. From this balance 2.7334 Se. 44. has to be deducted for net earnings of the Worcester and Hereford line from Worcester to M4vern, leaving 91,0101. 13s. tkl. to be divided between the Oxford and Newport shareholders in the proportion of 78 per cent. to the former, namely, 70,9881. 6e. Si,nd 22 per cent to the latter, namely, Le 1,0221. Is. These amounts enlace for the pas went of interest on debentures, temporary loans Lc., aid of dividend ou all the West Midland guaranteed stock issued to the public. The receipts of the company in passenger. goods, and mineral traffic have suffered seriously Gem the lung-continued stagnation of trade, more especially lathe iron district, of Suth Wales, South Staffordshire, sad Lot Worcestershire, coiniemtent upon the altered tariff adopted by the Americou government, and the great dimi ' Dotson in the home demand. The deficient harvest of 1860 has also operated prejudicially in the agricultural portions of the line. On the other hood, the expenditure has been largely incrmutel, mainly in cothemmoce of the intensely severe weather which affected in an extraordinary manner the permanent way as vase the rolling stock. The net traitic of the company's (sash bee also suffered from the same causes, showing, as will be seen from the account; • reduction of 1,528/.

The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at some length, and reviewed the principal festuree in the report, and concluded by moving its adoption. Mr. MATHSa seconded the resolution, which WAS carried ansairsonaly. Resolutions declaring the following dividends were then paned, viz. :—A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent each on the first and second guaranteed stock of the Oxford oection 5 per cent. on the redeemable preference shameeectios, of the Newport section, and 6 per coat on the two proforma, share stocks of the Newport section. It was stated that only one-half of the, second guessethergateek of the Oxford section was issued to the public, and on this only dividend would be paid. Thanks to the chairman closed the proceedthp. BERLIN WATERWORKS COMPANY. The eighth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of thia company wee held yesterday at the London Tavern ; H. Buestr., Eaq. in the chair. After the usual formal preliminary business, The Swimmer read the report of the directors, which stated that. notwithstanding the intense cold experienced at Berlin last Enter, in the course of which the thermometer ladiisited at one time as low • rate of temperature us 45 degrees of frost, the company's pipe system sustained no injury. The progress of the un d er t a ki ng, th oug h not so raMd as could he wished, has nevertheless been satisfactory, itimmuch as the increase in the water rates ha. been greater during the past six mouths than in any corresponding half sear of the company. musteoce ; and Mr. Gill encourages the hope that this progress will be still more apparent at the termination of the current year. The revenue account shows a dispoeable balance of 4,1391. la, out of which the di rectors recommend the payment of a dividend of ls. Gd. per blare, free of income tax. A balance of 6551. 4., Gd. wall remain at the credit of revenue account for future appro. ('nation. :The tin AMU Alt, in moving the adoption of the report, mid that he was pleased to have to offer them an increased dividend, and to inform them that the affairs of the dim. piny were progressing satisfactorily. He would explain that the company bad not pressed the question of further ecionseions, as at present inquiries were being made by a C 002111156100 as to the essablishmest of a system of sewerage in Berlin, and as it could not be canied out without the aid of the water supplied by this company it was thought that a better time than the present would arise far them to put forth this question. That the company was 'Predate' in Berlin was proved by the fact that smiroldy a sew hones was now built to which the water was not laid on. Indeed, the directors bad been somewhat amused at reeding au account of something like a strike in Berlin asecmpt the housemaids, they refusing to accept service M hotues where the water was not laid on. The Germans were a somewhat slow people, and would not very readily give up their old.fashlosed walls and pumps. All. how. ever, lockixl at present encoureging for the company. He moved that the report be adopted. Mr. Waicur sipoonded the resolution, and it was carried. The CHAIR-War then moved that a dividend of le. ed. per share. free of income tax, he declared and paid, on and after the 31st bast., to those shareholders who stood on the list on the 12th inst. The resolution wee seconded and carried. An abort:ace of 300 f. was then voted to the directors for their se:vices denim the past year, sad a vote of thanks to the chairman and bond of directors terminated the pro. oredinp.

DRAG!. nit was an action brought by the plaintiff, Emily Mid dleton, against the defendant, Edmund Drage, to recover damages for the breach of his premise to marry her, and the damages were laid at 500 f. The defendant pleaded that he did not make the promise alleged in the declaration, Berjeant Shee and Mr. Woollett were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Denman, 44. c., and Mr. Needham, were for the defers. dant.. - - Aci tf i leant She*, in opening the are to the jury, said that the intiff was • young woman 24 years of age, who re with her mother at Lynn, in Norfolk, and although I they were not wealthy, the family were in a respectable position, her father having been an architect and enrveyor, and upon his death, which took place in the year 1852, the plciotiff resided with her mother, and, if his in etroctions were correct, the defendant had been guilty of a moat heartless act of seduction towards her under a solemn premise of n:arriage. The defendant was about 35 years of age, and resided at • place called East Itudham, a few miles from Lynn, and he farmed land at that place, carried a the badness of a corn dealer, and from his establishment, and the way in which he lived, exhibited all the appearance of a are of property. The defendant and the plaintiff, it ap peared, had first met at • bazaar that was held at Lyea, about two years ago, and he ooetiaued to pay attention to the pla intiff wherever he met her, and about the mouth of February, 1859, he was introduced to her mother, and very shortly after that time it appeared that he announced his intention to marry her, and was received upon that footing in the family. The circumstances of the family did not admit of their keep iog a servant, and shortly after the introdaction of the defendant to the mother of the plaintiff, it appeared that she left home upon a visit to a relation, the plaintiff remain ing at home in charge of the house. The defendant was io the habit of paving constant visits, nod, upon one occasion, while the mother was absent upon this visit, he went into the plaintiff's bedroom and succeeded in obtaining poems son of her person. After this had taken place the de fendant gradually absented himself from the house, and although the plaintiff wrote no less than twenty letters to him imploring him to keep the solemn promise he had made to her, he did not condo wend to reply to any of them, and it was not netil several mouths afterwards any the mother was izforniel of the tZfuposition in which her daughter was plaoed. She i l t appeared, wrote to the defendant, entreating him to keep his promise, but to this letter he also seat no reply, and the mother of the plaintiff then sought an interview with the defendant and asked him whether lie intended to marry her daughter, and also why he had not answered her letters. In reply to the last question the defendant said that it was no busman of been, and to the other he said that he had been informed that the plaintiff had ruiscon ducted herself with other meo.aod he should have nothing more to do with her. The learned serjeant said that under these circumstances the plaiettff had no alternative but to bring the present action, and he observer that, although the de fendant bad ventured to insinuate to the mother that her daughter's character was not pure, be bad not dared to put • plea to that effect upon the record as an answer to the action, and he called upon the jury to give the plaintiff exemplary damages for the injury she had sustained at his hands. Mrs. Elisabeth Middleton, the mother of the plaintiff, was then examined. She stated that she and her family had resided at Lynn for many years, and her husband had carried on the business of an architect and surveyor at that place. He died in 1852, and after that time the plaintiff continued to reside with her. The defendant resided at East Rudbam. about In miles from Lynn, and he described himself se • farmer and merchant, and he was in the habit of coming to market at Lynn every Tuesday. In February, 1859, she was walking in the town with Far digester, and they met the defendant, and he spoke to bar daughter, and on the same day she brought him to Mae bows and introduced him to her, and said that he was is c=ati they had seen so frequently bowinct to her.

(Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Special Jury.) reaCWAN V. THORNTON. This was an action brought by the public officer or manager of the London and County Bank, to recover from the defendant the sum of 6,0001., upon a guarantee given by him to the hack, to secure advances made to a person named Edmund Smith. The defendant pleaded that he had been induced to give the gu trantee by false representations that were made to him by the plaintiff with regard to the po sition and solvency of Smith. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. P►terum, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. M. Chambers. Q.C.; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Garth, were counsel for the defendant. Upon the forms of the pleadings it devolved upon the defendant to go first to the jury upon the plea that the guarantee in question bad Leen given by him under false representations, and it appeared from the evidence that was gone into with that view that the defendant was a person of considerable property, who bad been engaged for many years as a contractor, arid that Edmund Smith, the person mentioned in the declaraLion, was also a contractor, and that be was engaged on very extensive works for the govern ment at Portsmouth, Pembroke, Shoreham, and o th er places, in 1856, and subsequently. The defend ant and Smith, it appeared, both kept an account at the London and County Beak, and in the year 1856 there was a negotiation on foot between them with a view to a partnership, and about this time Smith was anxious to increase hie credit at the blink, and the defendant went to Mr. M'Kewan to have some conversation with him in reference to Smith, and in consequence of what he said the defendant eventually gave& guarantee on his behalf to the extent of 5,0001. Some time after this Smith became bankrupt, the amount for which he failed being 120,0001., and epee his death, which occurred shortly after the bankruptcy, the amount of his guarantee was claimed from the defendant to cover a por tion of the loss that had been sustained by the bank through him, and the claim was resisted upon the ground that the de fendant was induced to give the guarantee by certain false statements that were made to Lim by Mr. Mirewais t the manager of the bank, upon the occasion of the interview referred to. The defendant, who was the prin cipal, and, indeed , the only witness called to support the charge of fraud, was eternised at very great length, and the chief allegations that were relied upon appeared to be that Mr. M'Kewan was represented to have stated that the amount due by Smith to the bank was much less than it really was, and that his account generally was in a more favourable state than the facts warranted. Mr. Thornton was cross-examined at very great length in reference to the nature of the transactions that had taken place between him and the bank and Smith, and also with regard to the various contracts that bad been entered into by the latter, but the details would, of course, be entirely uninteresting to the public. This ma terial fact wee however elicited in reference to the question at issue between the parties, that although in the course of the proceedings various communications passed between the beak authorities and the defendant in reference to Smith's affairs, and the bank was pressing for money, not a word was suggested as to the guarantee having been ob tained by false representation until after the discovery was made as to the actual condition of Smith, and the defendant did not seem to have repudiated the guarantee until pro ceedings were taken to enforce it, or at all events it was evident that such proceedings were contemplated by the bank. Mr. Bovill , in the course of a most able address to the jury es behalf of the plaintiff, called their attention to the jury es the charge that was made against him was a most serious as. for a man in his position, and that he could not have had the slightest motive fur making such a false re. pusentation as the one alleged to have been made ; and he WY instructed to state, and he should call plaintiff to depose to the fact upon his oath, that be never did make to the de fendant any false statement with regard to the account of Smith, for whom the guarantee was given. hut that he told him the exact position in which he stood with the bank, haring the authority of Smith for so doing. The jury would undoubtedly have one positive oath against another ; and, however unpleasant it might be for them to decide in such a case, he reminded them that the defendant had undertaken to establish his plea, and if he failed to do so, or the ledance of testimony appeared to be in favour of the opposite view of the question, they were bound to say so by their venliet. Mr. M'Kewan, the plaintiff, was examined, and he positively contradicted the evidence that had been given by the defendant as to what took place between them in refer ence to the guarantee, and asserted distinctly that he gave the defendant an exact statement of the position of Smith in regard to the bank. Other evidence was also adduced that tended strongly to support this view of the case. The jury retired to cons i der their verdict, and upon their retain into court they found for the plaintiff. They, at the lame time, expressed their opinion, in answer to ques tions that had been put to them by the learned judge, that there had been uo misrepresentation on the pert of the plaintiff, and that the guamotee was given uncon ditionally. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LivzopooL, Aro. 11 CHANGE AGAINST A PATE OF SHOOTING ♦ SEAMICf. At the Liverpool arises yesterday, William Crneby, 25, an d Matthew Oihney, :12, were arraigned, the former for 'bootleg • coloured seaman named Henry Johnson, on board the ship Panama, en the 16th May last, and the latter for concealing and harbouring Crosby after he had committed the offence. At the time mentioned the vessel was lying in the Hersey prepared to sail for San Francisco. The prisoner Crosby was the mate of the Panama, and the prosecutor was one of • number of coloured seamen who had shipped at Liverpool on board the Panama. It appeared that some disputes had arisen between the black men and the officers of the ship, and the former having complained that the provisions were unfit for food, they were ordered by the officers to leave the ship. The men declared their willingness to do so, but insisted on going below first to collect their clothes. Some white seamen having in the meantime arrived along aide, the black men were peremptorily required to get into the boats, the officers telling them that their clothes would be sent after them. As the men resisted this enter an en counter took place ; and while the prosecutor was lowering himself into one of the boats, and was suspended by one hand which greened a rope, the prisoner shot him with a pistol. Johnson loosed his hold immediately and fell into the water, but was immediately rescued sod conveyed on shore. The defence was that the complaints as to the pro. visioning of the ship were groundless ; that the black sailors outnumbered the whites ; that their conduct was very violent, and that from their being armed with knives the prisoner was led to extreme measures in self•defence. The refusal to allow the men to take away their clothes aroma it was contended, from the fact that the cologne(' amen bed each reestved U. in advent* on going on hoard, and THE ROYAL EXCHANGE ENSIGLANCE ►ORGERIER. Edward Williamson (late agent in Manchester of the Royal Exchange Insurance Company) was arraigned at the Liverpool assizes yesterday upon four indictmeuts charging him with defrauding that company of very large lams of money by means of forged documents representing fictitious claims. He appeared much dejected, and in a low and almost Mandible voice pleaded guilty to all the indictments. Sentence deferred.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOySE., Antirrel Conti. sn Italian, was brought before the Lord Mayor yesterday, charged with stealing 61. lOs. and • gold watch from a cash-box, and • pair of razors and • seven. barrelled revolver, the property of Niooli Mani, his master. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the prose cutor keeps =I hotel in Ratcliff -highway, and the prisoner had lived with him for a fortnight as servant in the kitchen. On Saturday morning last the prisoner was missed, and on his room being entered Mr. Magee cash-box was found on the table broken open, and 61. and some silver and a gold watch which were in it were gone. The box bad been taken from a drawer in the parlour, where the prosecutor placed it on the previous night, but forgot to lock ' the drawer. A pistol and a pair of razors which were also in the drawer were missing. On the Monday following . Mr. Maui received a letter from the prisoner, written in Italian, in which he stated that he wee tired of being treated like a slave, so he had run away, taking with him I/. Is., which he considered was his, and if the prosecutor's life were dear to him, to send him 5/. by the cook, to whom he had written • letter enclosing his address, and if it were not sent speedily he would shoot him with the pistol which he had taken from him. He did not care if he were taken by the police, as he had already served 93 year s imprisonment ; and if even be were to be sentenced to death, he would have the satisfaction of having seat one infamous man out of this world. The letter was shown to two parties by the prisoner, and he read it to them, and told them he was going to send it to the prosecutor, and that he had left him bocause he was such a bad man that be could not live with him any longer. 1 1 The prisoner, who could not understand English, after having the evidence interpreted to him, was asked what he had to say, and replied that the whole evidence was one tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. The prisoner was remanded. ler, len Brou-ne, a middle-aged woman, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with having beaten her little girl with a poker and clothes brush, and otherwise Uniting her. The complainant, a very diminutive, sickly-looking stated to be 11 years old, but apparently not half that age, having been sworn, said she lived with her father and mother at Hat and Mitre•court, St. Sepulchre's. Her mother bad been in tho habit of getting drunk and beating her. Mr. D'Eyncourt —Does yanr father sanction this proceed ing of yours against your mother The Father—Yes, I do, sir. Mr. D'Eyncourt—W hat are you ? Father—l am engaged in the General Post-office. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the child)—Now state what you have to say. Child—My father told me to mind the clothes and not let mother take them away and pawn them when she was drunk and she beat me yesterday and two days before because I would not let her take away a shirt. She beat me on the head and beat my had against the wall. She beat me with a brush on the bead and with a poker across the back. lam bruised on the beck and head. I cannot comb my hair for the pain. Campbell (one of the officers) examined the child's head and back, and said he could not find any lumps on the head, but there were two bruises on the shoulders about the size of • sixpence. Mr. D'Eyncourt, addressing the father, said that no doubt his wife was a drunken woman, but it was a monstrous thing for a father to do to place a little child like that before them as constable over the mother, to prevent her taking the things away. It wee unkind and unjust of the father, because the child did sot know who to obey, and the result was that the poor little thing came in for the beating. The father himself ought to be punished. The father should take proper measures himself. Prisoner said she slapped the child when she gave short answers, and tried to take the clothes away from her. Mr. D'Eyncourt fined the defendant ss. for being drunk. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young woman neatly dressed, who gave her name Emma Groom, and said she was a servant out of a situation, was charged with the following attempt to destroy herself. Bentley, 155, said he saw the defendant sitting on a door step in Down-street, Piccadilly, at two o'clock in the morn ing, apparently asleep. Ile tried to wake her up, but found great difficulty in doing so. The phial produced dropped from her dress, marked "laudanum, poison." Upon this discovery he lost no time in conveying her to the hospital, where the house-surgeon immediately attended to her, and used the stomach-primp. By his direction he left her there, and called for her that morning. On coming to herself she gave her address, Ground-street, Bryanstou-Nuare, and said she had taken the laudanum because she had been wrong fully accused of improper conduct ; that she had lived last in service in Mount-street, and produced letters which she said she had written to show the act was her own, and that no other person had poisoned her. Defendant—l am very sorry, but glad the officer Cllll2O and found me before it was too late. _ _ _ Mr. Yardley observed he was much pleased to hear her say that, and hoped her contrition was sincere. He would, for her owo sake, remand her, in order that she might be under the care of the excellent prison chaplain, who would seriously advise and talk with her ; and that be might the better meei the cam, he should enclose him, with the note he sent, the kitten she had given up, but which no ono else should see. . . The defendant (sobbing) said her character was DOW quite gone. Mr. Yardley said be hoped she would find it otherwise. Remanded fora week. Alerander Elliott, a tall young man, late hand-master of the 7th Essex Rifles, was brought before Mr. Woolrycb, charged with obtaining a cornet, six flutes, and other in struments, by means of a false and fraudulent pretence, of Mr. T. R. Willis, musical instrument maker, of 29, Minories. Mr. Woolrych asked the prisoner why he gars the name of William M`Farlane last night. The prisoner —That is the name of my second father. Mr. Willis, Jun., the prosecutor. said that the prisoner I was recommended by him to the 7th Essex Rifles as band ' muter in May last. and he sent him down to Rochford, where he was engaged as band corporal by Mr. Blanks on behalf of the regiment. The prisoner called upon him several times after be was appointed upon business. On the 29th of July the prisoner called upon him and said he wanted a cornet, six flutes, and another instrument for the band of the 7tb Essex Rifles. He laboured under the im pression that the priaioner was still °Meriting as bandmaster, and delivered the instruments to him. He afterward* ascer tained that the prisoner had been discharged from the regi ment three days before he called upon him, and that he was not authorised by Mr. Blanks or any other person to obtain the instruments... . . . Evidence was then given that the prisoner had pawned the instruments, and had sold theduplicates relating to them to Mr. Smith. a publican, in the Broadway, Westminster. Remanded for a week. MARKETS.

There is a dull business at about the currency of lastweek ; if anything, the buyer has the advantage. Staplers are willing to quit at old prices, and would not in most cases hesitate to allow a trifle to secure a large transac tion. Very strangely, wool in the country will generally secure higher rates than can be obtained in this market. There is little change in either yarns or pieces. There is a fair demand for both, chiefly for borne wants. There is also considerable business doing for Germany, especially in some descriptions of yarns. The American houses are still inactive. CORN.—BIBMINGHAW, AUGUST 15.—At this day's mar ket there was a moderate supply of English wheat; holders generally asked last week's prices for old, and very high rates for the few samples of new, but the sales made were at a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr. on good qualities, and inferior kinds were almost unsaleable. Barley unchanged In price. Oats about the same. Beans very few offering. DErffis, AUGUST 15.—Harvest operations being now generally commenced. and the farmers being busily occu pied at home, there was but a small attendance at our market to-day. Old wheat was in fair supply, but, there being but little disposition to buy, the trade was dull, and what sales were effected were at a decline of Is. and in some instances 2s. per qr. flare was no new barley shown.
