An extraordinary case occupied the attention of our borough magistrates this morning. The facts came r use aryl as application for a warrant against a person aimed Need ham, for attempt at arrow; bat the real arsametancee lead to the easiclution that it was au attempt, by persons who had become the occupants of valuable warehouse property, /.r which they had no longer say use, to escape the limber lie. tubty of rent by an extraorsinary crane of intimidation men ly. Mr. Saunders, barrister (instructed by Mr. Saunders, ctoroey), applied for the warrant. He appeared on be half of Minn. Licage Clarke and Sons, manufacturers, who were the smears of eoneidetable warehouse property in Maley-creel. These march's... were let oft, not in separate building., but in 11 ..TS and cow- Nutmeats, to persons carrying on business es silk end linen 'swells's. When the warehouses were originally let, there was a person named Hobday, who beams ter ant of the ground fLor of the buiiding. Hobday, three or four veers ago, retired from busies's, and then let that floor to Wood. hews and Ward for the remainder of hie term. Woodhouse sad Ward ewes month. ago compromised with ti sir credi ton, sad having then about a year and • halt of their tenarcy unexpired sought to get releand from it. They did not succeed in their o'ujett, though they made Hob lay an elite of 1001., and it was then that the offence was committed which formed the ground of the present proceedings. On Wednesday Mr. Charles Clarks wee pawing the warehouse, and perceiviso that the floor tweedy is the occupancy of Woodhowe and Ward wee again mitered, he went into the plate. He found over the doer a board. on which was painted "Needham, Waste Dealer," and inside was a person emptying some sacks of refuse ahem, called eettea waste, ;sod Cling others. He asked this maw who he worked for, and he said Needham; but he did not know who Madinat was, nor where he lived; and in fact hie oceu potion, for which be had been engaged that morning, sp. peered to have no utility is it, but to he a mere idle usu., ter his presence. Upon that Mr. Clarke, looklig at the waste, and seeing that it was of an improper character to be there—that it was saturated more than was usual, even for waste, with oil, and was of a highly combustible and danger- I cue destririoa, sent for a number of his own workmen sad cleared the place, his men throwing the waste into the street. After this, Neediest and Mr. Thos. Ward brought up a larger force of men, 30 and upwards in number, and re. placed the waste in the warehouse. Whilst the waste was thu the lower ream of this pl.!, of warehousing, knows, se it was, to be highly liable to *pouter.. on combustion, the occupiers of the upper doors of the ',Midis', became greatly alarmed. There was aa amount of silk and other goods in the upper stories worth nearly 20( 1 ,000r, or, at least, worth more than 150,0001, and the owners toned that not only wai their property in danger, but that if destroyed under such circumstances the ineueascre they had' .liectel on them would become void. The insurance sow petite even relined to fix any extra amount of ri.k which could be paid to make good such insurances. That the waste had bees placed there with a malicious purpose there could be no qoastion. Not only was the cotter waste, as first stated, more than **dismay saturated with oil, and almost certain to take fire farm spontaneous cembuation, but it was piled up against a wooden partition is the centre of the nor, which wooden partition formed part of a well hole, and would, in the event of combustion, net as a flue or draft, rendering the dutrum tiara of the entire pile of warehousing certain. About 12 o'clock at sight lir. T. Rose, the superintendent of the lire brigade, was induced to visit the warehouse, and on' examining the waste, found it warm, and in a state whieh rendered combustion probable within half an hoar, and almost certain before the night had pseud. Mr. Roes would show that if such wire had sot been again disown! oat into the attest, and the building had taken fire, nothing I could have prevented the entire destruction of the whole I property. lb. Coulee Clarke having been sworn, said he was a I milkman. He had examined the Trutt, in questioa,l and it was very bad. They could not make waste in their own cotton mill nearly so bad lie proved the cirewastaices of the letting of the premises and attempt to escape from liability by Wood haste sad Wud, as stated in Mr. Atkinasn'e opening addreas. He also showed the valuable nature of the prop. TV in the warehouses over the holding of Weediest's* and Ward. Mr. Maude said he thought the evidence would not bear nut the charge of intention to Are the premise,. It was not Woodhoese sod Ward who put this waste in, but • man named Needham, who followed waste-wiling as a trade. Mr. Saunders Galled attention to the tact that this was sot property is which each goods were smelly placed. hyp os*, • man had brought gaspowder here and placed the pro perty thus intentionally in dung .r? Yet cotton waste: was worse. The gunpowder would require ezrodiag, but the oasts would take the se a matter of orrtawar of its art letioa Would the magistrate take It as as indictable wise de.neanour at amazes law Mr. Meade thought net.

THE ROYAL M.OL STEAMER AVON left South ampton yesterday with the West India and Pacific mails. She took out nearly seventy pasesngen, while the cone spocding ship of tut year only took out between twenty and thirty. Nearly thirty of the peasengen by the Avon were bound fee California and five for Callao. Among the Avon's passengers for California were three foreign noblemen who have been ruined by the continental disturbtheu, and could only afford fore-cabin berths. CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—LetIers have been received from Captain Austin's Arctic expedition, dated Stromness, May 13. The It-solute arrived as the Long Hope, Orkaeys, on the 11th. with the Dasher and African steamers. The lii trepid, enewschooner, arrived on the 10th; Pioneer, screw-schooner, arrived on the 11th; and the Emma Eugenia, freight-ship, in tow of the Lightning, steam-under, arrived on the 12th. They were to start again ia • day or two; and we may next expect to hear from the expedition 1 from the Whale Visit Islands. The following are extracts from the letters: " Her Majesty's ship —, off Pentland 1 Frith, Friday. We have been kaoeking about the 1 North Sea ever sines my last, with very un pleasant weather, and hies at Let arrived at the entrance of the Pentlisul Frith. Both tenders have petted company, and I fear there will be some dit6- , cull in keeping together. We had • strong gale • few days since, and the Well t• oder appeared to labour frightfully. 1 As for the sailing vessels they are as easy and as handy as can be wished. Our crews appear well satisfied, and we are new beginning to find out what they are made of; there are lots of good stuff ia them; and, as far as health is • concerned, no one has been sick as yet, although the weather has been rather trying. I thick we ass in very good time, and will be able to afford • few data for shooting at Whale Fish Is'ands."—" Saturday : We have just got art Orkney pilot on board, and we are about to send the steamer to Stromness, and anchor at the Hope. We are now in sight es John o'Groat's House.' 1 can hardly believe this dismal-looking coast to be part of Great Britain. 9 p.m. We: are now stancher at the Long Hope. The captain goes to STTOIReeIII to-morrow, and I believe we ad on Monday." An aecident, which might have been attended with fatal coast quenr.es to one of the best petty officers in the scpadron, took place on board the Intrepid screw. tender. toe..rge Murray, tee-quartermester, heir g in charge of the watch at seven, p.m., all hands being sin played securing the boats and claw-reefing the sails, the commander remarked to Murray that the lee-boom topping lift was unhooked. Not liking to send a man to a place rather dangerous at the time, Murray went himself. i He had no sooner pot on the Loom-std than the man at the helm inadvertently let the vessel come up in the wind, thereby jibing the mainboom. All hands immediately ran to the mainsheet, to shorten it in, so as to steady the boom ; when, in the confasioa, they let go of it. The boom then swung seven or eight times aeries the deck and over the quarter, from ringing to rig ging, with fearful velocity. Murray still held on by the topping-lift, until he saw he must either have his brains knocked out by falling on deck, or be precipitated into the sea. He thereupon chose rather to run the risk of • watery grave than to break his neck; so he sprung from the boom while it was over the quarters, and dropped some twenty feet from the ship. It was blowing • fresh gale at the time, arid a heavy cross sea on, so that the ship had little way, and, being able to swim well, he soon regained her side. Every effort was made to save his, but the boats were all lashed for sea service. The captain threw a cork 1.61 buoy, with • line fast to it, which he got hold of, and was hauled La by it. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. -- THE BRITISH ELIICTIUC TiLLOILAPII COMPANT.—Yesterday, on the TO assembling of the committee, the Hon. Cornwell Leger in the chair; present the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Anson, Mr. Manners Sutton, and Mr. Ewe; after corroborative evidence from Professor Cooper and others, the oommlttee declared the preamble proved, and after going through the clauses, adjourned to the 3rd June, to give time to the Elec tric Telegraph Company, the opponents of the measure, to submit certain claims they require for the protection of their interests. From the venous drawings that were die played for the informatioe of the committee, showing the amount of telegraphic commuaisatioa completed, or being mutts/40d at home and abroad, it appeared that ia the United Kingdom the railway mileage open with the tele graph is 2,216 miles; open without the telegraph, 3,781 miles; railways making without the telegraph, 1,236 miles; railways not commenced, 4,796 miles. The number of tele graphic companies is America amount to 22, coronas nearly 10,000 miles. The lines of telegraph completed in France extend over 620 miles, and them ia progress over 899 miles. The total completed line of telegraph in Germany is estimated at 2,466 miles, and the range in progress of construction at 1,210 miles. SELFISH ART.—It is said that Mr. Wyou, has bees commissioned by the East India Company to pre pare • die for a gold medal to be presented to Major Ed- Sardis, in acknowledgment of the services rendered by that officer dories the recent war in the East; that as it is in tended excel for the major, the die will be destroyed as soon as the ten ds struck, so that no duplicate shall exist. We bops the baser part of this statement is Moonset, and that sasisma Reneebelle will, at all events, be permitted to have impreedms. How much more flattering to the major it would be le pat his head ea the medal, mad distribute it pretty extensively, than thus to misapply the process of medal diresinking.-77m Builder. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Mr. Ironmonger, the chief porter at the Redbridge station on the Londoa and Dor chester Railway , was killed on ' Tuesday night. He was getting some waggons into • siding, when he tripped on a heap of gravel, fell across the rail, and the wheels of sena waggons west over his body L lititmlly cutting him In two.

Letters from Naples of the Bth mention that the accounts from England and France had depressed the market for olive oil, p iricularly as nothing posi tive was vet ascertained as to the probable out turn of the cJming crop; but as the consumption was good and the stocks had become much reduced, no mate rial decline in price was expected to take place.

The quantities comprised in the cata logues have been 1,620 bales Australian, 3,981 Ade lead., 10,015 Pert Philip, 2,597 Van Diemen's Land, 30 New Zealand, and 3,726 Cape; making a total of 21.969 bales colonial, besides 330 bales East India, and 2,818 foreign. The subjoined report of the sales Is from the circular of Messrs. C. and J. D. Jacomb, issued this evening : These sales have been characterised by a large attendance of h• me and foreign buyers, aid a remarkable uniformity thrmghout in the range of prices, which may be quoted ne within a trifle of those obtained is February for mess sorts of lawn qualities from ell the colonies. Finer Port Phillip and Sydney wools have experienced a decline of id. to ld. pet lb., while on en average Van Diemen's Land fl ,eks a rather larger reduction may be considered to have occurred. The condition of Port Phillip wools generally shows that great pains have been tikes in the getting up, and this has been duly appreciated by purchasers. The burr is however observable in some &elm A larger quantity than we had expected has been taken (or foreign ace not, principally for Belgium and Germany—French buyers not operating extensively. We regret to say that the small quantity of Sidney wool offered was for the most part inferior in condition, seedy end !luny, bat realised the full value, taking into account these great detriments. The went of Sydney wools for these sales has been seriously felt, only one cargo having arrived in time to be included. This is the more to be regretted as it is probable the succeeding sales will sontsin a larger pro portion from that port than is perhaps imitable for one series. We trust, however, that succeeding arrivals will show a larger proportion of well•conditioned flock., end thus prevent a decline in rates, which may be anticipated if the bulk shows the unwelcome presence of the burr and grass seed, which appear to be increasing evils in Sydney flocks. It cannot therefore be too often urged on the Australian settler, to endeavour to obviate these datsrioratiag influ ences by every means in their power. Adelaide wools show improvement in condition end growth of many flocks, and have produced fuU proportionate prime. Of Cape wools the assortment was but of medium quality, and these have mold a trifle under February rates. For skin and scoured wools the demand continues good, and late prices have been main. tamed. But India and low wools experienced a ready sale at rather lower Men. DUBLIN BTOCZE.—IIAT 16. 3 par Ond. Owasb NW be depowl 147 13 111 pw OW. Wadi . Tow per OM OW Mb. of NJ. Gs. 9d.

After the regular hours of business in the Stock Exchange yesterday, numerous transactions in the English funds took place, at a decline of 1 from the official closing prices. The explanations afforded by ministers in both houses last evening with reference to the recall of the French Ambassador, were not received with much satisfaction in the City this morning, and produced rather en unfavourable effect in the English stock market. The quotations for Consols were first made at 951 to 1, from which they fell to 95 ; but on receipt of the accounts from Paris of the more conciliatory tone which generally prevailed in the French capital, after the first ebulli tion of public feeling had subsided, and the steady gradual improvement in the Rental, prices at once went up to 951 and 2, at which they were last done ; they have however since become rather weaker, and are now quoted 953 to 1 both for money and account.
