REBT A ND CITI NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. There is no alteration to report in the general condition of the money market, but the liquidation of the bills due on the 4th of the month has been followed by a quieter tone, the supply of com mercial bills on offer being very moderate. _ _ There were no withdrawals of gold from the Bank of Eng;and yesterday. Gold is now aboutl-10th per cent. cheaper here than in Paris, but about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon, exhibited a slight advance in the rate on Paris. The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with £53,600 in specie. A call of £1 108 per share, amounting together to £135,000, becomes due to morrow on the Bahia and San Francisco Railway. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was inactive. Prices, however, were unaltered. The sales were about 3,000 bales. The Lightning has arrived from Victoria with £96,160 in gold. She has made a protracted voy age, namely, of 102 days. Some of the other vessels which are known to be coming forward may be expected at an early date. There is very little business in the market for Public Securities beyond the arrangement connected with the settlement of the account. Speculation in the early part of last month was rather active, but as several minor fluctuations have taken place the outstanding differences to be settled are rather extensive, and the necessary preparations occupy the attention of the dealers and brokers. Rather an unfavourable effect has been produced upon quo tations this morning by some sales, partly foreign account, which led to a decline of s per cent., Consols having receded to 931 1 for transfer, and 9 31 1 for the April account. At the latest moment, however, renewed firmness is apparent, the Funds having recovered to 93 and to 93: respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady, at 9 11 921 ; Bank Stock is flat, at 242 ; India 5 per Cents, at 1061 107; Exchequer Bills remain at 19s. to 225. prem. Business in the Foreign Market has been quiet, and prices generally show less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 84 85 ; ditto, 1858, 711 I; Mexi can have receded to 34: 8 ; Spanish Passive, to 198 a ; ditto Certificates, to 61 7 ; but New Gra nad a 2 per Cents, have improved to 27, and Equador to 181. The Ottoman Loan of 1860 is 65; and the New Italian, 1 1 dis. The operations in the Railway Share Market to-day were moderately active, and a slight advance was established in prices by a preponderance of purchases. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Lanca shire and Yorks hire, North Western, South Western, and South Eastern improved 55.; Great Northern, Great Western, Brighton, and Midlands, 10s. ; North Eastern (Berwick), however, have declined about ss. _ The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained without any change of importance. Great Luxem burg realise 11t- 118 ; Bahia and San Francisco, 16 ; Sambre and Meuse, 8i ; Grand Trunk of Ca nada 27 ; Great Western of Canada 131; East In dian 1021 ; and Great Indian Peninsula 1011. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinue dull, but at steady prices. Bank of Australia realise 67; London and County, 381 39; Ottoman Bank, 2143 ; Union of London, 33 to 331-; Elec tric Telegraph, 99 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 68 i; and Royal Mail Steam, 55 to 551.

The resignation of Thiago Horta, Minister for Public Works, has been accepted. He is supposed to have resigned in consequence of some misunder standing respecting the recent r:Tomposition of the Ministry. The portfolio of the above department is tempo rarily held by the Marvis de Louie. The new Premier commands a small majority in the Chamber of Deputies, but can scarcely count upon the peers. Little surprise wou'd be felt if the Marquis Sal danha were called upm to form a new Cabinet. The appointment of Senhor Lobo d'Avilla as Minister of Financedoes not give general satisfac tion, and the funds Ere somewhat depressed. It is expected thtt the long agitated question of the Sisters of Charity will again be brought before the Cortes. The conversion oe convent property into Govern tnent stock is progressing, but the measure is re garded with mistrust, and has not up to the Present benefitted the public funds. Her Majesty's ship Investigator arrived here this morning. The weather has been very tempestu ous latel y . Several disasters have occurred on the coast and in the Tagus. Trade is exceedin g ly bad. Political c han g es, the death of Dorn Peiro, the American difficulty, and the rigorous winter, have all concurred to stop business.

The quotation of gold at Paris 158i5c about i at par, and 2 the short exchange on London is per price of £3 £1 sterling. t On comparing these rates with the English Min that gold is London. i 17s. 104 d. per ounce for stan d ard gold , it appears therefor e , 4 er mark, e e r ; z efore' about 1-10th per cont. deare r in Pari s than inf sterling. By advices from Hamburg the priceof is, i gold and the short exchange o n London is 13.4 Standard gold at the Englis h Mint price about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Lo ndon than in Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at €0 days' sight is 113 to 114 pe r cent., and the premi um on gold is about 31 per cent. At these rates the importation o f gold from the United States would leave a trifling profit. Reichnaw, the clerk who absconded from the Dusseldorf Bank with a considerable sum of money, and was recently arrested in Paris, denounced, at his first exa mination a man named Sander, a petty tobacconist at Dus seldorf, as his accomplice, that person having concealed him in his house for several months afte r the robbery, in consideration o f re c e i v ing a sum of 15, 000 tha lers (53,000 f.) Sande r , on being called on by the police, denied the fact, but en fur her inquiry, it being found that he had been re "ntiy spending more than usual in the purchase of mer chandise, a rigid search took place on his prem ises, and ; 5 0 0 thalers of the s t o l en no tes were found there.

QUESTION UNDER VIE NEW ORDERS.--IN RE GIBSON. ' This bankrupt was a trader in Dulwich, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. T. Beard supported, and there was no opposition. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, read his report, from which it appeared that the bankrupt's debts were about £274, extending over a period of four years; the assets were returned at £7, of which £4lBs. 6d. had been received. Twelve ran. His Honour—Does any creditor oppose ? Mr. Beard—No ; your Honour. Nor did anyone appear to be appointed assignee. I believe there is not the slightest opposition. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. His Honour—This is a case in which no assignee is chosen, and, under the new order, Mr. Aldridge has a right to appear. Mr. Beard—He has told me he has nothing to do in this case. His Honour—Well, I should have thought he had. Bankrupt was examined, and said that he was a commis sion aged, and also a dealer in jewellery; he had been in business for 20 years, and had never been bankrupt or in solvent Fefore. His Honour said that under such circumstances he would grant an immediate discharge. IN RE EMLAND. In a case yesterday, before one of the Registrars, no assignee was chosen, and Mr. Drew applied for an adjourn ment to get a creditor to accept the trust, but the applica tion was refused, as the adjournment had not been requested by the creditors, but, as in the last case, it is a question whether Mr. Aldridge will interfere except in cases where the creditors appear supine. THAMES. Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner for a week. TRIG' DAY'S MARKETS. Abron Vertumna Six ran. :LITTLE JOEIN STAKES. _ Livingstone Marmion POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(274IB Day.) DARING ROBBERY IN HYDE - PARK. - Two young women, named Sarah Jones and Mary Johnson, who both gave false addresses, were brought up for committal, charged with the following robbery in Hyde-park : From the evidence of Thomas Watson, a messenger, re siding at 1, William-street, Knightsbridge, it appeared that, he was passing through Hyde-park, when Jones spoke to him, and he immediately missed his purse. He accused her of taking it, when she denied doing so, but on his taking hold of her hand the purse fell on the ground. The prisoner Johnson then came up and hustled about him, and he then gave both the prisoners in charge. The purse had contained 17s. 6d., but on picking it up a half sovereign was gone. Evidence being given by a constable of the A division that the 'Drisoners were together the same night, they re served their defence and were committed for trial. IMPORTANT APPREHENSION OP A BURGLAE..—Frede rick White, 40, a labourer, in the employ of the North London Railway Company, at their factory in Bow, and dwelling at 12, Violet-street, Decons-lane, Bow-common, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned in the commission of several burglaries and robberies and attempting to enter the residence of Mr. J. M. Sundley, in the New Glove, Bow-road, with the inten tion of committing a felony. Mr. Sundley, a gentleman of property, stated that his windows and doors were all secured and fastened in the usual manner last night. This morning, at 1 o'clock, he was disturbed by the springing of a police constable's rattle and a loud knocking at his door. The servant of the house opened the door, and a policeman entered the house with the prisoner in custody. He did not know the man, and was not aware that he ever saw him before. His house was broken into and plundered some time ago, and the property was not recovered. George Atkins, a police .constable, No. 463 IL said—At one o'clock this morning I was in the Bow-road. I heard some glass break. I could see no other constable near, and spoke to two gentlemen who were passing, gave one of them my rattle and told him to spring it directly, and reached the yard of Mr. Sundley's house. I got over several walls, and when I reaohed the wall which separates the garden of Mr. Sundley's house from the adjoining one there was a peal from the rattle as I directed, and at the same time I saw the prisoner crouching down in the area of the house, close to the laundry window. I told him he had better not move, but he did move, and ran to tho other end of the area and got over the rails. I jumped down and seized him. I examined the laundry window. A large pane of glass had been cut out, and the frame of the window chiselled up. I found this chisel (producing one) on the window ledge. The aperture in the window was large enough to admit the body of a man. I searched the prisoner, and found two knives and 2s. lid. upon him. Mr. Walter Kerressey, inspector of the K division of police, said that several burglaries and robberies of gentle men's houses in the neighbourhood of Bow and Bromley had taken place in the course of the last few weeks. Among others the residence of Mr. Jas. Dunstan, Mornington-road, Bow, in, the parish of Bromley St. Leonard, was burgla riously entered and robbed, and a good deal of valuable property carried off. He went to the dwelling of the pri soner, No. 12, Violet-street, and there discovered much valuable property, and pawnbrok rs' duplicates relating to silver plate and ladies' and gentlemen's wearing apparel, and other property, stolen at various times from the resi dences of gentlemen which had been entered and plundered. Among the articles found secreted in the prisoner's dwel ling were a lady's ivory companion, a pair of silver sugar tangs, and a beautiful cameo brooch, which were identified by Mr. Dunstan as his property. He also found an old fashioned gold watch under the pillow of the prisoner's bed. The inside case of the gold watch was inscribed with the initials, P. IL P. J. and K., with 18 over, No. 4,112.

CRIMINAL COURT.—( This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Chief Baron Pollock.) MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Walsh, William Poulton, and —. Cox were indicted for the manslaughter of John Wincott.

The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Lord Chief Baron said he should not pass sentence, as he had not read the depositions. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Martin.) , M URDER IN RATCLIFFE Patrick Devereux, aged 19, a sail or, was indicted for the wilful at c m l i u ff r et gohwa of James y. Mr. Orridge prosecut ed, and M r. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Gardner, a lodging hou se -keeper, in R Mr. Cohen said—l reside in St. George's-in -the-East. I was present at the George and Vulture, in Ratcliffe-high way, on the 29th of January; between 11 and 12 at night. The prisoner came in and demanded his clothes from Mr. Gardner. Deceased turned round and said to me, "Isn't it hard, Mr. Cohen, that I am to be tormented in this way." I told him not to strike the young man. prisoner again demanded his clothes, when Gardener said he might have them when he had paid him all he owed. Deceased, as he was going out of house, pushed the prisoner, and in a very short time'after I saw the knife in the prisoner's hand, and heard Gardner call out " I'm stabbed." Corroborative evidence having been given, The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his youth. Immediately the prisoner heard the verdict he commenced shrieking and imploring mercy from the judge. He said his money had been got from by pretending to keep it safe from thieves, and when he asked for it to go to see his father and mother at Cork he could not get it from Gar dener. Baron Martin then put on the black cap, and proceeded to pass sentence of death in the usual form, at the same time telling the prisoner that he did not see how the jury could have come to any other conclusion. The recommen dation of the jury would be forwarded to the proper autho rities. At the conclusion of the learned Judge's remarks, be ap peared quite overpowered, and the prisoner again exclaimed, " Oh, God I have mercy on me I Have mercy on my poor father and mother I Don't hang me, don't hang me I I've not had justice ! God have mercy on me I" A great number of prisoners had, previous to the verdict being delivered, been placed in the dock to plead to indict ments; and in order to prevent confusion they were allowed to remain while the awful sentence was passed upon the unhappy man. The language of the Judge was so affect ing that it drew tears from the prisoners by whom Devereux was surrounded ; and, taken altogether, the scene was one of the most affecting that has taken place in the court for years. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, MARCH 4. Mr. Evelyn Abbott, of Somersetshire College, Bath, and Mr. Alexander William Mowbray Baillie, late of the Edin burgh Academy, have been elected Exhibitioners of Balliol College.

A melancholy accident occurred yesterday on the Isis Mr. G. R. Luke, Student and Tutor of Christ Church, took one of the light boats called " dingies" and rowed alone down the river. Some little time afterwards a boat was ob served bottom upwbrds floating down a part of the river called Kennington Reach. An alarm was at once given, and on the drags being used the unfortunate gentleman was brought to the surface and carried ashore. Every means of restoration were tried, but without effect ; life appeared to have been extinct some time. It is suspected that Mr. Luke fell from hls boat in a flt of giddiness, as he was liable to attacks of that nature.

The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very moderate, but the condition of the samples being good, sales progressed steadily, at fully Monday's quotations. There was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat on offer, and a moderate amount of business was transacted in most descriptions at extreme rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and prices were well supported. . Fine malting barley sold steadily, at extreme currencies; otherwise the barley trade ruled inactive, on former terms. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. For oats, the supply of which was moderate, the trade was in a sluggish state, at about Monday's quotations. Beans met a slow sale, at Monday's decline in their value. The show of samples was tolerably extensive. Peas were in slow request, on former terms. On the whole, the flour trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

FRUITS PRESERVED IN SPIRITS.—The Lords of the Treasury have approved, as an experimental measure for six months, of the admission into this country of fruits preserved in spirits, at the duty of 10s. sd. per gallon, the fruit being included in the assessment. The officers at the various ports of the United Kingdom have been instructed to report the effect of the measure at the end of the six months to the Commissioners of Customs. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The score of Meyerbeer's contribution to the performance at the opening of the Exhibition has been received by her Majesty's Com missioners, who have placed it in the hands of Signor Costa, to whom they have intrusted the direction of their musical arrangements. The maestro, who had undertaken to write only a march for the occasion, has, we understand, in a fit of enthusiasm inspired by his subject, composed an elaborate overture, which is likely to prove net one of the least attractive features of the programme of the opening ceremonial. The works promised by Signors Verdi and Mber are hourly expected. S 1 20 28.2.8$ COLONIAL GOVERNMEN Can. Gov. 6 p.c.Ja. &July 1877-82 Do 6 p. cent.lBB3-4 Do. 6p. cent. -- Do. 6 p. c. Feb. & AuLf.

At the second attempt they all got off on good terms, Furious and Har mony having a slight advantage. As they passed the back of the stand Weatherden look the lead, with Furious, Zin gari, Harmony, and Nightingale side by side, next. On reaching the distance, Miss Eva colt and Conundrum took close order, and a most exciting race ensued, which resulted in favour of the Miss Eva colt by a head. Nightingale was third, a length and a half behind Conundrum; Furious was fourth; and Weatherden next; Thunderst ain and Don caster bringing up the rear.

He then dropped away, beaten, and Mr. Osborne's mare again took possession of the lead, of which she was dispossessed by Sacerdos at the stand, who won in a canter by three lengths. There was half a length between the second and third. Ladybird brought up the rear throughout. The Park Stakes of 5 so vs, with 20 added, did not fill. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. There was very little done on any future evert. For the Little John Stakes nothing was invested upon, but Livingstone.

SMALL-BORE COMPETITION. The trial of the rifles is at length concluded, after six days spent as much in quarreling as in shooting. Yester day the competitors went in at one o'clock, Mr. Ingram, who retired on the previous day, of course excepted. At the close Mr. Whitworth was understood to be ahead, Mr. Turner being second, and Mr. Henry third ; another autho rity, however, reverting the position of the latter gentle man. This evening, it is to be hoped, the computations of the values of the various diagrams will be ready, and we expect to be able to give them in our impression of to- , morrow. After the last diagram had been checked, Lord Elcho, calling around him the council, the competitors, and the representatives of the press, said that the trial was over, but that there was no definite results as yet attainable. Some statements had been made in the papers to which the council took strong and just objection. The council wished the competition to be carried on openly, but they wished it to be accurately reported, and this some of the papers had not done. The council objected that unfounded statements should go forth to the public, for their only object had been to conduct the trial fairly and impartially. When Mr. Ingram objected, the council offered to cancel Mr. Whitworth's diagram, but to this Mr. Ingram would not consent. The matter of the two shots in that diagram was the only tangible objection which had been raised. He wished to know whether the competitors would sign the letter (a copy of which we gave yesterday) acquitting the council of all partial dealing. Mr. Terry objected to sign the paper, and handed in his protest. Lord Elcho said that the substance of the complaint of Mr. Terry was about the use of the ehnometre by Mr. Whitworth. The council were accused of permit ting advantage to be taken of the ignorance of the five competitors. 'Why, the council had done good to those gentlemen in teaching them their trade I The rests used were no secret; there were drawings of them published, and they were widely used. The council had thought it best that every competitor should bring his own rest, and that one should be provided for any gunmaker who did not bring his own. The trade had remonstrated against the use of different rests, and the council, to please them, had altered their rules. Now they were complaining of the alteration in the rules, If there was any partiality shown it was by the target, and not by the council. General Hay indignantly repudiated theimputation partiality. He himself h ad taken tho trouble of f showing of Mr. Henry, at Hy the, how to. br i ng g Htheenrybe,sstrioflue a ia tof d his . gram, an d had there produced witti showing a deviation of only 1.941 Did that look like partiality. Lord Elcho said that Mr. Turner admitted that the coun cil had taught him something, and last year he sent three of his riles as prizes to 'Wimbledon as a reward. Would Mr. Turner's representative sign the paper? General Hay said that the competitors had really had everything their own way. Some angry conversation having ensued respecting a dis puted shot of one of Mr. Turner's rifles, Lord Elcho said that the council would on another occa sion object to any but principals appearing as competitors. Mr. Turner's representative having declined to sign, Mr. Henry said that he was satisfied the council " wished" nothing but fairness, although much unpleasantness had arisen. He offered to sign the paper if it were altered so as to convey that the council "desired to see fair play," As that was not agreed to he declined to sign it. General Hay, who here completely lost his temper, said that the plain English of it was that Mr. Whitworth's was the best rifle, and they were all afraid of it; therefore they accused him of favouring it, A stormy discussion ensued, Lord Elcho saying that Mr. Whitworth really had all , the other competitors at a disad vantage, for he had all the appliances and machinery. (A Competitor—Yea, bought with the nation's money !) Mr. Whitworth's rifle was made 'ey the rules of science, the others by the rule of thum. (Oh, oh I) en its re appearance it contained Mr. Rigby having volunteered to amend the paper, it some of whom, was taken into the tent, and the names of all the oompetitors present, however, immediately afterwards protested that they did not know what they had signed, and when they were told it was substantially the same as the former paper, they were much annoyed, and declared themselves, to use the phrase of one of them, "diddled." We leave the matter with the simple observations that if the gunmakers And themselves beaten and lowered in pub lic estimation they have but themselves to thank. It is a pity that some men have not the courage to adhere to that which they conscientiously believe, and which they given to Mr. Whitworth, coli finite to declare t o be ri g ht. We question whether we have now ; r.

S7` zTE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, MARCH 4.—The yarn market has been very quiet, with little business doing for any market. Prices 7etn in very firm, an:, some yarns made out of American cotton are rather dearer than before. In reference to a subject which has been noticed several times in our recent reports, Messrs. issued this Fay and Co., in thei r review of the market this month, observe that " The use of Surat and other East Indian cotton is becoming more general, and the objections formerly entertained about Surats is wearing off. Spinners who have exclu sively used it latterly find an advantage instead of a disadvantage in doing so; nor do the con tinental buyers of yarns, particularly of water twist, object to it under present circumstances." The tone of the cloth trade has been very flat to-day. The discouraging accounts from India have a serious effect opon business in Manchester, and caused buyers for that quarter to withdraw altogether from the piece.goods market. An impression that the settlement of American affairs has been brought into nearer view is also affecting the trade generally and there seems to be no inquiry for fabrics of any description. In order to effect sales considerably lower prices would have to be taken than manu facturers have been holding for during the last two or three weeks ; but there is 111 disposition to make the requisite abatement, unless here and there in some case of exceptional weakness. As a general rule, producers continue very firm in their quota tions. During the past month the the prices of yarns and cloth have been slowly advancing. The rise h as b een from 10. to 3d. per piece for 7-8 printers, a bon t lid. f or ma d apo ll ams , 1 d . to 2d . f or 9 8 printers, 11d. to 3d. for 9-8 shirtings, a full 121. for 51b. to 71b. 5-4 shirtings, and 3d. for Bib. to 91b. makes. In some cases India jaconets are 10. dearer, and T-cloths f rom li d. to 3d. dearer ; but there is muchirregularity in the prices asked for similar kinds. Longcloths and domestics have hardened, though the rates are n o t quota b ly h i gher. T he re turns of Captain Palin of the state of employment in Manchester, made up to this morning, show that 14,495 persons are on short time, and 6,977 are wholly out of employ, against 26 , 3 06 in full em ployment. This is a rather unfavourable return as compared with last week, but the change i s s li g h t, " It is the numbers then on short time b e i ng 14,572, and out of work 6,857 . In the di str i ct around Manchester we hear of b ut little Fay t h an e d aid Co w . h s i a o y h 1 11 .--- as thus s c a h t a i n st g a e c . tory Me to ssr n s Du o . tice that far been afforded to the workpeople out of empl oy has prevented an undue amount of distress, and that we shall in all probability pass the severe ordeal comparatively well if the dissensions inskinerica are brought to a speedy conclusion, which opinion many well-informed people seem to entertain at present. The p resen t uncer t a i nty as to the price of the raw material prevents merchants from em barking in existenceti arrive mb e i f o o a r tn e hd American oys, s c ih o bo t l t yt o n teho c om a f n ea obst sooner ot uh e x ea rt barking in large tran sac ti ons , N o d ou b t i t w i ll. it te e ci ts s e o di m n than can now be calculated upon prevents pur chases for distant markets at present high rates. Preparations to grow cotton in almost every pa r t suitable for cultivation must take time, but ultimately au increased production will act upon the markets. If the cottons of the last American crop were to be destroyed, and could under no cir cumstances reach our market here, prices, however high, would be more willingly paid than they are now. The enhancement of the value of cotton fabrics will enable holders at over..stocked markets to rea lise, and, less being sent now, demand may later on be felt where now abundance keeps the selling prices far below what they are here." The following is the weekly report issued this evening by Messrs. John Slagg and Co. :—" The limited demand for goods which existed previous to Friday last has gradually fallen off, and to day we have a , 1 . 1 exceed ingly quiet market in all departm e nts. Nominally prices are the same as on Tuesday last, but here and there a disposition is shown to give w ay a little, without, however, leading to much business," LEEDS, 4TH,—The woollen cloth-markets have been much of the game character this mor n i ng as o f late. Goods move off in somewhat limited allot ments, and the market and trade generally are far from being buoyant ; yet there is a hopeful feeling, and upon the whole a little more doing than there dy for f i 'e s n a Fn a ro l at e nvc a ee t r t yk i r e e aecp a t si r v e ue p. s i b l l l uvt m o oo thelsst ares exportalea s t b e l a e a . t yr The was a month ago.

Purchases were made cautiously, but prices, those of flannels as well as those of wools, are held firmly. Manu facturers are showing some inclination to further restrict their rate of production, but generally there is as much doing as there has been for some time, and stocks, though increasing, are not very heavy. The Yorkshire goods trade is dull. COURT-AIARTIAL ON CAPTAIN ROBERTSON. FIFTEENTH DAY-MONDAY. The court-martial on Captain Robertson was resumed this day in the Victoria Library, Royal Barracks. Troop Sergeant-Major M'Claughny was sworn, and examined by the prisoner, and after some evi dence of no great importance, the defence was closed. President—l understood you were going to make some remarks upon the evidence. Captain Robertson—l respectfully ask the Court not to call upon me to read my defence until the evi dence is closed. The President—The prosecution is closed, and you are on your defence. You must close it before we take any further steps ; we will, perhaps, then recal some of the witnesses we had before us, to elucidate certain points which have developed themselves since they gave their evidence. We wish you to do this when you finish your defence. The prosecutor has announced his intention to impugn the credi bility of some of your witnesses, and that will be the time for him to ask his witnesses to discredit yours. You will then be at liberty to bring any witnesses you choose to set up the credibility of your witnesses, and to make any remarks you t p o le r a w se il u l pthonen-thme v a e ke id a e r n e c j e oi e n l d u e cid ru a p t o e n d. t h T e h v e h p o r l e o s c e a c s u e: You must now conclude your defence befoie . we take any further steps, Captain Robertson—l would desire leave to make some remarks upon the testimony of the witnesses, and I would wish for an adjournment of two days, to arrange the remarks I would desire to submit to your consideration. The President—The Court will grant your appli cation ; in the meantime we wish to call some of the witnesses. At either of the two interviews which you had e C si l d ar e k n e t a w s a f s ol t l h o e w n s r : Lcalled and examined by the Co P l r . with Captain Henry and Captain Robertson, in October, did Captain Robertson or Captain Henry sa y anything to you about Col. Dickson lodging the price of Captain Robertson's commission ?—I have no recollection. Captain Henry, late 4th Dragoon Guards, was next recalled, and examined by the Court :-.- What did Captain Robertson say when you told him you had refused to accept Col. Dickson's letter of apology P—l have no recollection of any conver sation. you do not had refused the letter . of apology . I asked you what he said when p y u told him yon and Captain recol lect any conversation betwee d n myselfthe letter. Robertson after I had re . fu ß se Robertson, what did he When yon told Captain I cannot remember the havesltBo6old, not hing I do not recollect the conversation between Captain exact purport of t myself on the occasion referred to, say ?—The conversation must ° have been very short. Robertson and him that Col. Dickson's letter was not d t I had sent Capt. Durant back and . that satisfactory,to Col. Dickson. again f ring to your letter of the 23d March, in which you state to Mr. Owen, " I under stood to say that Col. Dickson should but lam I u toldarpe Capt. Durant to do with Captain Robertson in any wa y until he should have settled some legal trans action." Assuming that your evidence was true, did it occur to you that w h en you wrote that letter you were writing an untruth, calculated to injure Col. Dickson, and place his conduct in a false position ? —No, sir ; I wrote that letter immediately subse quent to Capt. Robertson's statement that he would have full satisfaction or an ample apology, with the view of giving hi m every opportunity there of vin dicating his honour and that of the regiment ; and the facts stated in that letter, as far as regards the conversation between Capt. Durant and myself, are substantially true. What facts do you refer to?—The facts at the three interviews I had with Capt. Durant ; the three interviews I had with him and the result. The Court adjourned till Friday. A NEW BAROMETER.—M. Sauvageon, of Valence, has studied the different phenomena which are produced in a cup of coffee when the sugar is put into it, and the result of those observations transforms the demi-tasso into a baro meter. " If, in sweetening your coffee," says M. Sauva geon, "you allow the sugar to dissolve without stirring the liquid, the globules of air contained in the sugar will rise to the surface of the liquid. If these globules form a frothy mass, remaining in the cent re of the cup, i t is an indi cation of duration of fine weather ; if, on the contrary, the froth forms a ring round the aides of the cup, it is a sig n of heavy rain; variable weather is i mplied by the froth re maining stationary, but aot eaaotly in the centre, MI& =' a ~ .: Ales , s as ster at AND :)son, 28013, after 1 an firing Share 100 stk 17.1 stock stock 100 100 100 100 stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 20i 20 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock stock 1i.2 111 I I " 4 •
