Bus;ness during the lest few days has been sus pended in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Mar kets, owing to the Easter Holidays, but operations will recommence to-morrow (Wednesday) the 23d inst. A large amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended upwards. The sales were about 15,000 bales. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues very moderate, and the market seldom pre sented a quieter and easier appearance. Only a small amount of paper is taken to the Bank of Eng land, because greater facilities are offered elsewhere, 21,- per cent. being the current rate for first-class bills. About £61,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The Tagus, from Lisbon, has brought £2,000 in Specie.

A formal resolution authorising the raising of the proposed capital was passed after a short discussion. The market for the English Funds retains a *very quiescent appearance through the dulness of speculation, but notwithstanding the prevailing in. activity continued firmness is apparent.

GREAT FIRE NEAR TORQtrAY.—One of the most extensive conflagrations that has taken place in the neigh bourhood of Torquay for a great number of years, occurred on Friday, at Barton Hall, the beautiful seat of Mr. Henry Langford Brown, about two mi l e s from Torquay, on the Newton Road, and which resulted in the total destruction of the above mansion. The fire occurred between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon. It appears to have broken out in one of the bedrooms. Every possible assis tance was rendered by those present in removing the furni ture and other valuable property. These were taken out on the lawn in front of the house, and, although principally saved, are greatly damaged. The house is entirely de stroyed, and the damage done is estimated at several thou sand pounds. ARREST OF COLONEL KNOX'S ASSAILANT.— The e:wrtions of the police to discover the miscreant who on the 31st ult. fired at Colonel Knox, of Brittas:Caetle, have, it is believed, at length been successful. A man, named Bohen, the son of a farmer residing at Barnane, was arrested on Friday last, and has been identified by Colonel Knox. as the person who fired at him. It will be remembered that at the time of the occurrence the assassin, previous to discharging his pistol, crossed the road, caught hold of the bridle of Colonel Knox's horse, and demanded money, and, on being refused, he pulled a pistol out of his pocket, and discharged its contents at Colonel Knox's head. It will thus be seen that Colonel Knox had ample time and opportunity to observe the mp : p r t i he t s e t peneac fea tures of the man, so as t o be able to identify hi l m. of ee Ma h y , STEW POSTAGE STAM stu eehre next and thenceforth posta ge will be issued, and w ill be p rocwable at any Post-offica._ By command of the Postmaster-General, Rove LAND HILL, Secretary. It is stated that Mr. Costa has refused to conduct he music of Dr. Bennett com p osed for the opening of the I n tervationalExh ibition,Mr. Costa's refusal being grounded on a ceriAin quarrel between himself and Dr. Bennett with reference to the Philharmonic Society. The Stabat Mater was chanted in the chapel of the Tuileries on Thursday, in presence of a numerous at tendance. The Emperor and Empress, and the princes and princesses of the Imperial family, with the household, were present. The Abbe Frappel preached the sermon on the Passion. The ifiserere was chanted in the imperial chapel at half past 8 on Friday erening by the choristers of the Conservatoire. The visitors who received invitations were very numerous. " The Inman steamer The Cork Examiner says : of to-day. the City of Washington, takes out a yet larger number of passengers than did the vessel of the preceding week. Upwards of 500 emigrants leave ; these belong ap parently not to the poorer, but to the more comfortable class of small farmers. Astonishing as it may seem, the number emigrating during this and the past three weeks is even greater than during the corresponding, periods last Tear." )er:32,:s 2 t,er) 3 am) 4 ich) 5 kcock, ;onun- ye way ith the s.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A very lady-like woman, appa rently about twenty-five years of age, and who gave the name of Emma Summers, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. An inspector of the Thames police said this morning about a quarter past seven his attention was called to two boys struggling with the prisoner in one of the alcoves on Waterloo-bridge. I ran up, when the boys told me the lady was going to drown herself, She told me it was no use stopping her, as she intended to do it some time or °their. Mr. Corrie—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner (crying)—Nothing. Frederick Savard said—l was going over Waterloo bridge this morning about seven o'clock in company with my companion, Terry, when he said, " Look at that lady how she's crying. I think she's going to commit suicide. Let's follow her." We both ran after her, and just as Terry got up she was getting on the top of the balustrade. We took hold of her and she struggled very nuch. R e called out for help, when the police officer came up. G. T e rry—l was going over the bridge this morning, as stated by tb e former witness, when we saw the lady crying. I thought she was going to jump over the bridge,and I ran after her to prevent her. I got up to her before Savard, and took hold of her dress and held her for a few moments, when Savard also took hold of her dress. She beged very hard for us to let her go. She said it was no use stopping her as she was determined to drown herself. Mr. Corrie—Do you wish to ask the witnesses any ques tions ? Prisoner—No, sir, Mr. Corrie—Where do you live ? The prisoner remained silent. Inspector West—She refuses to give any information as to her residence. Prisoner (in a very low tone of voice)—l can only excuse myself, sir, by assuring you that I will never again attempt suicide. Mr. Corrie—l cannot let you go without some inquiry. I understand you refuse to give any information, and there fore I shall remand you for a few days in order to enable the police time to make inquiries. The Frisoner, weeping bitterly, was led from the dock by the gaoler. STEALING TIMBER.--Two men, named Sullivan and King, were charged with stealing two pine planks, the pro perty of Messrs. Thurston and Co., Catherine -street. Police-constable 129 F said he was on duty near the Adelphi, when he saw the prisoners each carrying a long pine plank. He asked them where they get them, and the answer not being satisfactory he took them both to the sta- tion house. Mr. Pitt, of the firm of Thurston and Co., said the planks in question were his property, and were taken from his wharf near Salisbury-street. Sullivan had been in his em ploy off and on, and King had also done some work for him. They both were well acquainted with the place where the property was kept. Both prisoners denied the robbery, and each accused the other of employing him to carry the property away. They were fully committed for trial. SPORTING-THIS DAY. NEWMARKET RACES, THIS DAY.

The investigation, by the corm ier, Mr. St. Clair Bedford, into the circumstances attending the deaths of Edward Rowley and John Morrissey ciammenced this afternoon at King's College Hospital. We shall continue the report in our late edition. RAILWAY A3IALGA JIA7ION. (From the Money Market Review.) Although the arrangement between the London and North-Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Companies is merely a traffic arrangement, the shareholders have received it with pleasure because it puts an end to a state of strife and competition detrimental to both com panies. In the interests of both many of the shareholders express a hope that the agreement will not only be perma nent, "ant pave the way to a complete amalgamation of the two undertakings. There is, perhaps, nothing in the annals of human folly more gross than our railway history, with its total want of system. The principle of " beggar my neighbour" seems to be the one acted upon. If ever there was a country in which railways ought to pay it is Eng land, and yet in no country on the face of the earth do rail ways show such miserable results, so far as the remunera tion of the shareholders is concerned—and why ! The rea son is, briefly, reckless expenditure, reckless competition, and mismanagement. With a denser population, with iron and coal cheaper, what but this recklessness can have caused English railways to pay worse than those of any country in Europe? In Franca, Austria, America, Bel gium, Spain—in fact, in every country where railways have been established, except in England, they have made good returns to their shareholders, and this chiefly because the Governments of every other country except England have wisely assigned certain districts to certain railways. Wher ever this has been done, success is certain. Canada, it is true, forms an exception ; but this is only temporary, and arises from causes which a few years will rectify, railways having been made in Canada on a grand scale before the country was ripe for them. There is something so mon strous in the system pursued in England that the wonder is that the interest of self-preservation has not in duced our railway companies ere now to amalgamate rather than compete ; yet, strange to say, the in stnct of pugnacity seems to be stronger still, for, as ex perience shows, they go on competing until from pure ex haustion they end by doing what they ought to have done at first, namely, combine. It is not difficult to foresee that this will be the eventual result with every line ; oven wit h those which are now wasting their substance in the folly of competition. The Eastern Counties, Norfolk, and other lines in that district have recently amalgamated their inte rests after years of warfare and disagreements. The Great Western and West Midland have done the same. We need not particularise the number of lines which the London and North-Western has absorbed in its system, or the Midland or the North-Eastern. This process will go on until the number of railways will be reduced, probabl y to five or six, and then there will be a general combination. If railways would but adopt uniformity of accounts the process would be greatly accelerated. What, we ask, should prevent two such railways as the London and North-Western and the Lancashire and York shire from amalgamating their interests? Their receipts per mile and working expenses are much the same, and they might agree to an tmifoim system ot accounts between themselves that would enable them to amalgamate on terms of perfect equity. Their dividends would then be increased by the mere saving in working expenses. Why also should not the Midland and London and North-Western combine rather than compete P There is really nothing in the way. 'We need only refer to the time when the London and North-Western and Midland had actually agreed to terms of complete amalgamation. The negotiation broke down, according to one version, on account of the Midland rolling stock not being in a good condition, and the London and North-Western Company insisting on the Midland making some small deduction on the price at which the two stocks were to be taken for £lOO of the amalgamated stock. We believe the price of the Midland stock was then fixed at GO, and the London and North-Western at 100. The tables are turned now, for Midland stock commands, 128, and London and North-Western only 941. We have reason to believe that Parliament will shortly insist on being furnished with returns year by year which, however much some railway companies may stand out against uniformity of accounts, will show precisely the actual position of each railway. IWhenever this is done, we repeat, ono of the great difficulties interposed to a more general plan of amalgamation will be overcome. It may be objected that a general amalgamation of our railways would act detrimentally to the public interests by creating a vast monopoly. Our belief, on the contrary, is that the better the railways pay, the more liberal will the com panies be to the public, and that the only effect of a general amalgamation would be to insure uniformity of fares throughout the kingdom. The amalgamated railways would be enabled to carry more cheaply than they now do, because they would travel at uniform rates of speed, and their increased prosperity would arise, not from raised prices, but from stimulated traffic and from the saving of expense in working. We shall be very glad indeed to see railway directors and shareholders discussing these suggestions, Let them consider whether, by acting in unison, they cannot, to a great extent, repair the blunders of the past. There is valid reason why, with uniformity of accounts, the London and North-Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, Great Northern, and even the pugnacious and aggressive Great 'Western, should not form one great comprehensive system. Neither is there any reason why the Brighton, South-Western, South-Eastern, and London, Chatham, and Dover should not be virtually amalgamated by the esta blishment of a practical identity of interest ; and so, by degrees, with every railway in the kingdom. The field of traffic is quite large enough to employ the engines of all the present directors, engineers, managers, and secretaries at present engaged, and, save as regards the lawyers, there need not be a vested interest impaired. By such a plan we are sanguine that, instead of the present reckless competi tion, amongst the effects of which to the public are fearful accidents and much inconvenience, railway dividends would year by year increase, until they become, as they ought to be, a really remunerative property. Let the watchword of shareholders, then, be union and not rivalry—agreement and not competition. We know well in which policy they will find their account to be. SCANDALOUS IMPOSITION.—Martin Walsh was yesterday charged, before tho Rochdale Magistrates, with having, on Tuesday last, obtained relief, he not being des titute at the time. The prisoner was in regular employment, and had actually left his work for an hour, in order to obtain relief from the guardians. Ho twice represented that he had three children, whereas one had been buried last month, and he received in respect of it £4 funeral bene fit, making his income for the last month £6 ss. sd.—Ho was sent to prison for a month. THE GREAT ROBBERY IN CORNHlLL.—Yester day, at 1 o'clock, George Ellie, 28 years of age, described as a porter, was placed at the bar of the Mansion-house police -court before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, in the custody of Sergeant Huggett, the detee • tivo police-officer, charged with being concerned with others not in custody in stealing jewellery of the estimated value of about £3,000. The prisoner was nominally accused of stealing 100 fine gold signet rings and 120 fancy rings, worth together £4OO. The prisoner strongly denied all knowledge of the robbery. He was remanded. A POLICE INSPECTOR AND SERGEANT FINED r• on ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.—Yesterday, at the Leeds Town Hall, James Walder preferred a charge against Inspector Burroughs and Sergeant Heaton, both of the police force of Leeds. Walder's complaint was, that on Wednesday morning, at two o'clock, he was in company with the " half mile champion," at the top of Lands Lane, when Mr. Heaton came up and told him that "he was a thief; that he got his giving by thieving, and that he (the ser geant) could prove it." Mr. Burroughs, complainant also alleged, used him roughly, " grabbing him by the throat as if he was a dog." The police officers emphatically de nied the charge, and Inspector Burroughs cross -examined the complainant. The magistrate fined the officers 10s. each, and costs, for the abusive language they had used to Walder. ',IIE REVIEW AT BRIGHTON. The Volunteer Review at Brighton, looked for ward to with so much interest, came off yesterday with conspicuous success. Never before, in the long• and terrible history of war, was the attempt made to place au army of 20,000 men iu the field, and to undertake military operations with them at a point 50 miles distant from that which they quitted the same morning. Of course, any country which could show its ability to do this added materially to its defensive power, and still more to its military repu tation. During the Italian campaign troops, it is true, were conveyed by railway along the rear of their own line for a distance of four or Ave miles, and brought into action. But in that case the com mander simply took advantage of the facilities afforded by a line which happened to skirt the rear of his army. In the present instance the fact has for the first time been broadly recognised that future wars, especially defensive wars, must be fought with the help of railways just as much as of monster guns and iron-plated ships. The illustration of what can be accomplished through the agency of our railway system presents itself very appropriately at a moment when the question of naval supremacy is unsettled, and when the outer line of defence once constituted by our wooden walls has been swept away. The most perfect arrangements of the War office, however, and the most irreproachable perfor mances on the part of the railway companies, would have been unavailing had it not been for the patriotism and energy of the Volunteers with whom originated the idea of the demonstration that was yesterday carried out with so much success. It would be impossible to speak in terms too high of the spirit animating the force of which the array at Brighton was but a fraction, but the fact in itself is sufficiently eloquent that, without a shilling of expense to the War -office, an army of 20,000 Volunteers was massed in the course of a few hours on a given point, the raw material of which that force was composed being probably equal to any in the world. The last train from Victoria was telegraphed to start at 8 o'clock, so that the arrival of the whole London army at the appointed time became almost a matter of certainty. Rain ! Can it be possible ? What can that be which patters so ominously at the bed-room win dow at about 7 o'clock in the morning, which awakens the sleeper, and causes him to jump up and look out, and think of Washington Irving's " wet Sunday ?" Cannot Aquarius hang up his watering-pot for one day, and allow Lord Clyde to review the volunteer army in a dry skin ? It is rain, real south-coast rain, fresh from the cloudy atmosphere of the Downs, and coming down as if it meant a day's mischief. A hundred thousand eyes at that moment looked out of fifty thousand windows, and offered up inward orisons for that real blessing to Englishmen, a fine day. At eight Aquarius shows symptoms of relenting, and at nine --by which time a breakfast had been swallowed in all the agonies of suspense—the clouds broke ; universal Brighton smiled the smile of hope, and the cabmen registered a vow at once to treble their fares. As a specimen I may mention that one modest individual, whose horse looked as if he could, with great exertion, reach the Downs by sunset, asked me £2 10s. for the journey "one way." But so it always is when any " event" takes place in the provinces. The local organs of wonder and acquisitiveness are stimulated to such an ex traordinary degree, that the only puzzle with the natives is how much they may safely demand for everything, and the result is that before the crisis has passed, the largest portion of their stock, whether of lodgings or vehicles, lies a drug in the market. However, I did not pay £2 10s., and I got a vehicle which took me to the Downs by such a route as enabled me to note the preliminaries of what every one was preparing for. At the ordinary railway station nobody could guess that anything extraordinary was going on, were it not for the crowds which lingered outside the gates, and dis cussed the topic of the day under the inspiration of the genius loci. For the volunteers a separate debarcadere had been provided, and from it they repaired to their various rendezvous without the slightest trouble or confusion. A constant stream cu a lung me pu,nways, all 111. one direction, and amongst them could be noticed a smart sprinkling of single volunteers—red, green, and grey— the tall " Guards" and the small Engi neers, all smoking the calumet of war, which looked exceedingly like a short pipe, and hurrying off to their early tryst. I noticed a good many of the Two-pound-tenners" crawling empty and sulkily along, and I derived much comfort from thinking that such would most probably be their amusement during the remainder 3f the day. In the town were two principal rendezvous, both of which my model of a cabman—he ought to have been a volun teer—was gracious enough to permit me to visit. In one of them, the Pavilion, once the secluded Capua of the English Tiberius, but now a VE ry proper and useful cavalry barracks, the country corps— that is to say, the artillery—mustered to the num ber of about 2,000. There were the Cinque Ports, who brought their own pieces, and the Portsmodth, who came without any. Much grumbling was there upon this point. Eighteen six-pounders to eighteen hundred men ! " A halfpenny-worth of bread to all this sack !" It was perfectly monstrous, but it was a fact. Either the Government would not give the guns, or the railway asked too much for carrying them, and so there was all this valiant artillery marshalled on the /was a non lucendo principle without the guns wherewith they could show Lord Clyde their facility in demolishing infantry squares, or sweeping away cavalry squa drons. The 18th Hussars were very kind and patronising to the new comers, and comforted them with the reflection that the absence of guns might, after all, be better both for themselves and for the spectators. They (her Majesty's 18th) cautioned the visitors that if they should be charged at the gallop their plan would be to keep their bayonets up, and not lower them to the ground, an error in practice that had been observed at certain previous volunteer reviews. The question now arose, what were to be the evolutions. The programme was still a secret in the bosom of Lord Clyde, whose battles, every one said,' were all models of evolution. At about half past 12 o'clock his lordship and three other Queen's officers, two of whom were Gens. Pennefather and Dalzell, and followed by four aides-de-camp, gal loped across the open, and took up a position close to the column of the Engineers. Immediately after, obviously in obedience to orders from his lordship, the great masses of men began to move, and several corps, principally light grey, started off at the double to take up their positions. The intention seemed to be to form line along the nearer ridge, in addition to which skirmishers were thrown out, a dutywhich is always remarkably well performed by the volunteers. By this time the crowd of specta tors had increased enormously, and people watched eagerly for the nearer approach of the troops. About this time the great weather question was settled by the sun definitively breaking out and establishing himself in a white, hazy, semi-trans parent sky for the rest of the day. It was also ascertained that the intention of the military autho rities was to mass all the troops on the northern heights, and, after a brief inspection, to have the much desiderated " march past" before instead of after the evolutions. The masses on the ridge now grew g ra d ua ll y d enser an d bl ac k er ; an d L o rd Cl i yde . could be r ecogn i se d i n th e f oregroun d splendidly the ll3 mounted, and accompanied by Col M‘Muroo a three inspectors o f vo l un t eers . Very shortlya after wards the sound of a trumpet was hehard'i and lordship came galloping up to t d he betting-ring, staff , followed by a brilliant regular an and, what surprised me a good deal, by quite a cortege of civilian equestrians, who showed a good deal more curiosity than po liteness in t he closeness to his lordship i n which they thought prop er to exhibit their very indifferenthorsemanship. Lord crowd,Clyd Clyde had a w n,heons, a few m oments after, his l or d s hip t enthusiastic reception from th e uncovered whilst speaking to th e ladies in the Lord Lieutenant's c arriage, the c h eer i ng was redoub l e d , and kept up for several minutes with an almost frantic vehemence. His l or d s hip, w h o is said to fear a popular ovation more than a Russian battery, Was quite overcome, and backed his horse to its ap. pointed station in evident confusion. Everyone now prepared for the march past, which commenced at ten minutes past two, with the 18th Hussars, who it is needless to add set an admirable example of discipline and drill to their civilian comrades. After them came the Hampshire bee. saglieri, whose commander forgot; to salute the generall ; and then the " Inns of Court," who cer. thinly bore off the palm from anything on the ground, both for marching and appearance. Every one seemed to know, and everyone to like this dis. tinguished corps, and when their well-known, affect. ing, and most appropriate lyric was struck up by the band, the crowd made the welkin ring with their acclamations. I cannot undertake to note down the interminable succession of corps which now passed before the venerable commander-in -chief during a full hour and a half, who, with head un coveted, returned with marked emptessemeni the salute of every successive corps, and seemed to watch everything with a most critical eye, whilst au occasional nod indicated that something had passed deserving of more than ordinary commenda tion. At 3 o'clock not one half of the corps had passed the flagstaff, but a short pause took place in consequence of some difference as to precedence, which was being settled ou the crest of the hill. When the march was resumed, a lively Scotch air told that his lordship's countrymen, the Lon don Scottish, were coming, and the crowd with ex cellent taste seized the opportunity for paying the chief another compliment. They cheered again and again. Lord Clyde uncovered, and when he saw one of the finest infantry re giments in the world marching past, adorned with his ow n national era• blems, it was quite easy to see that his lordship Witi affected by no common emotion. He stooped eagerly forward over his horse's neck, and then leaning back, slapped his saddle-bow in tune to th e gay strathspey which the band played in complim ent both to the rifles and to himself. It was altogeth, x , a most interesting incident, and would have been complete if the pipers of the corps had only had wit enough to strike up the pibroch as they passed the flag-staff. Of course I do not mean more than a, momentary scream, as every one is aware that even respect for Lord Clyde could not reconcile southern. ears to any more lengthened specimen of the national. music. The last man—l shall not say which was the last corps—passed the Commander-in-Chief at 25 minutes past 3 ; and, with him, it was evident that the prin cipal interest of the review had, as far as one half of the public were concerned, passed away also. The ring was broken in, the fashionables descended from the stand, and a certain local restaurateur made a, grand speculation by demanding 2s. 6d. a head for luncheon, and then informing his guests very coolly that everything except one semi-denuded ham bone had been demolished hours before. My own impreEs sion was that the statement was only a mockery, a delusion, and a snare, for I am positive I saw the same ham bone in the same place on last Easter Monday, and therefore I believe it to be a pro perty kept exclusively for the purposes of this annual imposition upon strangers. Hark ! there is a boom of the great gun. Let us leave the del esi v et janibon, and rush into the air; there are squares being formed in the hollow, and a fierce file fire comes pop, pop, pop, across the hill. The white smoke steals curling up over the brow, and the death rattle of the Enfield sounds nearer and nearer. One of the two hostile armies is evidently be'..ng forced back upon its reserves—for see, the iiense masses in the hollow close up their ranks, bec ause they know that they soon will be wanted in sup port. Lord Clyde, who commands the attack, is driving everything before him, Squares have been. gallantly formed, but only to be as ruthlessly broken by artillery, and it seems as if the battle was now to become one of great guns. The retrertt ing army dispute every inch of ground. The rattle of their musketry is incessant, but what can infan try do against the 6 - pounders and siege guns of the Cinque Ports Bombardiers ? There are now bright flashes along the White Hawk ridge, which tells us that the battle comes home. Two haystacks abso lutely crest the hill, an d roun d them the deeds of Huguemont and La Belle Alliance are being enacted. I fancy I discern the white belts of the artisan corps r , r ' _ glistening in thn new lorrukapyboo, but T w ill not I i be positive as to whether they are, in this case, Greeks or Persians. Now they come, Engineers and Guards, infantry and artillery, red, green, and grey, pell-mell, victors and vanquished. The re serves go up, and cover the retreat of their collea gues, and a long line covers the ridge from end to end. The cavalry make two charges, and therQ is a pause. People ask each other, "Is there any thing more worth stopping for ?" and even the "Victor of Brighton Downs" must remember that their train leaves at five, sharp. Besides, the pace had begun to tell on the stouter volunteers, for the whole slope of the Downs was dotted with groups of men who had " fallen out " the moment they got the chance. A loud cheer rose at last from the red. coats, Engineers and Working Men—they had car ried the hill, and were driving the reserves in and out in every direction. The columns in the valley began to form front in a promiscuous sort of man ner, some towards Coastguard Castle, others front ing Windmill-hill, and the impression became general that it was time the battle was decided one way or the other. The spectators had, in fact, got mystified. The distinction between victors and vanquished became more and more of a problem, and great anxiety was expressed for something in " the hand to hand" line, in place of this distant and complex manoeuvring, and it required the final charge of the cavalry down the bAll to restore every one to good humour. I was informed that at the termination of the evolutions Lord Clyde expressed in very warm and encourag ing terms his approval of the appearance which Ihad been made by the volunteers. The improve ment, indeed, was conspicuous to everyone, and will, no doubt, go on until we have a civilian army equal to any emergency. I did not hear that a single accident occurred to mar the great success of the day's proceedings. 9} 10 IA ilmn m. given half.' subsequent • Fl made ES. -ear not to be half year. - A.i tred Consols (Philack), 3.9.3 .. .. 20 British Iron Clifford nil 29 81 Devon G.

GROSS OUTRAGE ON A FEMALE.—TWO ruffianly lads, named Michael Reander and James Tilley, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned, with others, in the following gross attack on Mrs. Catherine Story, a re spectable married woman, residing at 23, New-street, Brompton. Mrs. Story said—l was passing through Hyde-park about 9 o'clock at night, yesterday week, being an invalid, and using an instrument to support my leg, having an in jured knee cap. I was suddenly surrounded by the pri soners and six or eight other lads. My pocket was picked of my purse, containing some silver, and I was most shame fully ill-used by the lads. They put their hands up my clothes, and behaved in the grossest manner possible. The prisoners were two that ill-treated me, but I was se fright ened that I scarcely know which was the worst of the two. I tried to get away as well as I could, and in doing so had my shawl much torn. When the lads saw the instrument on my leg they made use of the most disgusting language towards me, and then ran off. . . Charles Smith, 131 B, said he went to Reander's lodg ings this morning, and on telling him the charge, he said he had made a mistake this time. He took him into cus tody, and then went to Tilley's lodgings, and on telling him the charge, he said he was there at the time, but had none of the money. The prisoners were remanded for a week. THAMES, THIS DAY. A FEMALE HIGHWAY ROBBER.—EIiza Bush, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Woolrych on remands charged with stealing a silver watch, valued at 4 guineas from the person of Michael Shelley, a foreman in the em ploy of the Victoria Dock Company. A few evenings since, about eight o'clock, Mr. Shelley was passing along the Barking-road, bounded on the south by the East India Dock wall, and on the north by fields and nursery gardens, when he was accosted by the prisoner with a " Good evening, my dear ; how are you ?" He made no answer, but she clung to him and kept alougaido of him for two minutes, when she suddenly broke away from him and joined some other woman, who were follow ing. Mr. Shelley immediately afterwards missed his watch, and went after the prisoner, who was soon captured and given into custody. The watch was not found, but the prisoner had ample opportunity to hand it to one of the cluster of women whom she joined at ter the robbery. Mr. Shelley was quite sober, and his watch was quite safe in his waistcoat-pocket when the prisoner first accosted him. The prisoner, in defence, said she had never seen the:pro secutor's watch, She never had it, good, bad, or indiffe rent. Mr. Woolrych—l have no doubt you took the watch. It is no use remanding you again. The watch I am afraid is irrevocably lost to the prosecutor. I shall dispose of this case summarily. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month for the unlawful pos session7of the watch. AN INCORRIGIBLE POT STEALER.—A tall and aged German, who gave the name of Charles Franklin, and described himself as a painter of No. 8, Greenfield-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing two quart pots, the property of Mr. James Spurgin, the landlord of the Artichoke public-house in Ratcliff-highway. . - - The prisoner was observed by a police-constable named James Stroud, No. 141 H, on Artichoke-hill near the pro secutor's house, with something concealed under his coat. He avoided the policeman as much as he could, and went into a retired place. The policeman directly afterwards heard the fall of two pots on the pavement where the pri soner stood. He took him into custody and picked up the two pewter pots, which were now identified by Alfred Davidge the prosecutor's barman, who said the prisoner came into his master's house and called for half a pint of malt liquor. Directly afterwards he had occasion to turn his back and go into the bar parloar. On his return he missed the prisoner and the pots, which were on the bar counter when the prisoner entered the house. The prisoner, who delivered himself in broken English, said he never had the pots, and was not in the Artichoke at all. Stroud said the prisoner was convicted of pot stealing, and sentenced to five days' imprisonment, a few months ago. Mr. Woolrych—The prisoner is now sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of two quart pots. MARKETS---THIS DAY.
