711 E NAVY. The Royal yacht Osborne, Master-Commander G. K. Bower, with the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty on board, anchored at Spithead late on Friday evening, on her return from Southampton Water. On Saturday morning she steamed into Portsmouth harbour, when their lordships left the yacht in their barge and paid a visit of inspection to her Majesty's ship Excellent, Capt. R. S. Hew lett, C. 8., the gunnery ship of the port. At 7 30 a.m. a signal had been hoisted on board the Victory, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce, to "man gunboats, take in powder and sewn days' provisions, g et up steam, and rendezvous atSpithead." Two gunboats left the harbour at 10 40 a.m., and the re- maining four 10 minutes afterwards, the flotilla being under the command of Capt. Coote, flag cap'atin to Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce. All the Crews were passed men in the Armstrong gun drill, with which weapons, 100 and 40-pounders, the boats were armed. Two assistant-surgeons formed part of the flotilla's complement of officers. Considering that the officers and men were called together by unexpected signal from various parts of the harbour, and taking also into consideration the fact that each boat had her crew complete on board, and had also taken on board her ammunition and provisions in little more than an hour from the time of the signal being made, the officers and men deserve great credit for the promptitude with which they answered the signal. The result gave at the same time satisfactory proof of the efficiency of the system under which our first-class gunboat reserves are organized. On leaving the harbour the gunboats steamed out to the vicinity of the works erected for the construction of the foundations for the proposed marine forts on the " Horse" and Noman shoals, where they were drawn up in line to await the arrival of the Lords of the Admiralty, who soon afterwards arrived in the Vivid paddle yacht. A variety of maneeuvres under steam were afterwards gone through for some considerable time, accompanied wife practice from the Armstrong guns, the movements being confined to the vicinity of the forts and the southern approaches to Spit head from the sea. Their lordships returned to the harbour at 2 p.m., and, re-embarking on board the Osborne, left Portsmouth at 5 30 p.m. for the Chan nel Islands, under salutes from her Majesty's ship Victory, the saluting battery of the garrison, and from the Arcona, Prussian screw frigate, anchored at Spithead. The Osborne took the West Channel, and would probably anchor in Yarmouth Roads for the night, resuming her voyage yesterday morning. His Royal Highness Prince Adalbert (Admiral of the Prussian Fleet) embarked from Portsmouth Dockyard on Saturday on board Her Majesty's steamer, Fire Queen, Master-Commander Paul. He proceeded in her to Spithead, when he went on board the Prussian screw frigate Arcona, Commo dore Sundewall, which arrived there within the last few days from China and Japan. The Prince 'was occupied some hours on board the Arcona in specting the crew at general quarters, making and shortening sail, Sec., and in the various details of duty. At the conclusion he returned to the harbour in the Fire Queen, under a salute from the Arcona's guns. On Friday evening the Prince entertained a distinguished party at the Portland Hotel, South sea, to dinner. He afterwards visited the Prussian Vice-Consul, the Chevalier Van Den Berg. The Prussian screw frigate Gazelle, Capt. Heldt, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Green hithe, to be in attendance upon his Royal High ness Prince Adalbert during his stay at Ports mouth. On coming to an anchor in the roadstead the Gazelle exchanged salutes with the Victory, flagship of the Naval Commander-in-Chief, and with the saluting battery of the garrison. Her Majesty's screw steamer corvette, Cossack, 20 guns 250-horse power, arrived at the Little Nore on Saturday morning from Plymouth, where she arrived on the sth inst., as noticed in the 7inies of the following day. Shortly afterwards the Admiral proceeded to inspect the vessel, and was received by the officers and crew in the customary manner. Since the Cossack was refitted in England in 1861 her boilers have been so defective that she has been compelled to proceed under sail the greater part of the period that she has been engaged. The greatest praise is due to the chief engineer, Mr. Steil, and staff for the exertions they have used to keep them in any way in -working order. The - vessel will shortly be paid off at Sheerness, and placed in the third-class steam reserve. The unfortunate disagreement between the supe rior officers and crew of the Shannon has assumed so grave an aspect that our correspondent at Ply mouth has felt it incumbent on him to ascertain the facts for publication. The frigate was put in com mission on the 17th of January last at Portsmouth. Her crew included many good men from the Orion and Diadem, but there were also some from the Centurion. On the whole they were a fair average, and, under Captain Wainwright and Commander Moore, the Shannon was what is called a " happy ship. The present commander succeeded Mr. Moore about the 2d of May, 1862, and the captain joined on the 17th of June. From that period disaffec tion has prevailed. The new captain is stated to be gentlemanly, but strict in discipline. The new commander is considered even more strict ; ho has strong religious views, which he endeavours to in culcate. tinder the impression that great laxity prevailed on board the Shannon, the new officers increased, it is said unnecessarily, the amount of labour. Hands were piped up every morning, Sun days included, at 4 o'clock, and unless they appeared strictly at the moment they were " black-listed," and had their grog stopped. The captain went oc casionally round the ship by night to detect un wary officers. The commander in making his regular rounds was frequently greeted with groans and assailed by offensive whistling, which emanated from parts not within the light of th e lanterns of his attendants. In conse quence of the receipt of an anonymous letter, the captain had the crew piped up at half-past 5 instead of 4 ; but the discipline was in other re spects not relaxed, and the tangent sights of the guns were throw n overboard, and were followed by a number of rifles, and then the lanyards were cut. The frigate e -ecame so troublesome to the au thoritiesat Spithead, she was sent to Queenstown, last port previous s o herarrival in the Sound on Monday. As previously stated in The Sun, she was immediately inspecteda 3' Admiral Sir Houston St e wart, who , no dou b t, admi nistered prudent ad vice, as some re laxation has since bee n o b serve d on board: The however, Shann on can, i will inflicted sc arce l y con tinue as at present , or serious injury , So me ta • d to have on the service.

But this is not ale there is a , Th e officers, a 1 o f whom dislike the ship, fear that, as wi ll resolve long commission before the men , t he y on a course of action little sh ort of open mutiny. On Friday last she was supplied with a draught of seamen from the ships.in Hamoaze to supply vacan cies caused by desertions, and has now received orders unexpect edl y to lea ve Pl y mouth Sound for Spithcad. Her sudden departure is said to have some relation to the movements of the Lords of the Admiralty, daily expected at Plymouth. The new Captain Superintendent of Pembroke dockyard, Capt. Loring, C. 8., has superseded the late chief officer, Capt. Ramsay. The latter intro duced his successor to the principal officials of the dockyard. Capt. Loring has obtained leave of ab sence to the Ist of September, after which date he will fully enter upon his new duties. Capt. Ramsay takes with him the esteem and good wishes of all the inhabitant s , The foliossinbe appointments have been ;mule at the Admiralty:— J. a p in, rJT 1 . to the engineer, A rg us; W. H.

The draught will consist of one officer, five sergeants, and 40 rank and file. Lieut. Wolse ley, 2d battalion, 6th, has proceeded to Harwich to assume the command of the troops stationed at Landguard Fort, in the room of Lieut. Gubbins of the 56th, who has obtained leave of absence.

The barracks at Norwich and Ipswich are about to be occupied by troops of the sth Lancers. The dttachrcents are expected to arrive on Thursday or Friday. RAIL WAY IMELLIGENCE. TAFF VALE. The directors of this company recommend a divi dend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum for the half-year ended the 30th June last, as against 81 per cent. per annum for the corresponding half of 1861. GREAT WESTERN. It appears from the financial statement of this company, for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, that £13,755,495 had been received on shares, and £11,102,982 on debentures, loans, &c., making the total receipts on capital account £24,858,477. The total expenditure on capital account in respect of the various railways, works, and plant belonging to the company amounted to £21,938,334, and in subscriptions and disbursements for other under takings to £2,199,822, making together 1:24,138,156, and leaving a balance of £720,321. The capital account of the Shrewsbury lines now belonging to the Great Western Company shows that £3,647,015 had been expended upon them. The joint capital account of the Great Western and West Midland Companies shows a total outlay of £695,272. The joint revenue account of the Great Western and West Midland Railways for the half-year end ing the 30th of June shows that £1,244,728 had been reeeived, and £618,405, or 49.68 per cent., expended in working the traffic, &c. ; £31,705 paid for rent charges on 11 branch railways, also £16,347 for interest on capital expenditure on joint account, and £88,250 for fixed rent and allowance for plant, &c., of South Wales Railway, leaving a balance of £541,202 for division between the two companies. Of this the Great Western receives 821 per cent., or £446,492, and the West Midland Company 171 per cent., or £94,710. From the £446,492 received by the Great Western they first deduct £2,500 towards Parliamentary and legal expenses, and £1,500 for doubtful debts, leaving £442,492. To this is added £10,424 brought forward from the preceding half-year ; £12,000, a portion of balances reserved from revenue account prior to the 30th June, 1861; and £12,438 for dividends on shares in other companies, making the total £477,354. From this sum is deducted £20,189 for guaranteed annuities to Wilts, Somer set, and Weymouth, and Kennet and Avon Canal:; £20,666 for rent-charges of the Glocester and Dean Forest, the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester, Bren tford Dock, Wycombe Railway, and trustees of Padding ton Estate ; £65,638 in respect of interest and divi dends on the Shrewsbury lines ; and, finally, £347,440 for interest on loans and preference shares (exclusive of £12,799 charged in joint account), leaving a disposable sum of £23,420—0ut of which it is proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of a half per cent. per annum, being for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, 20,593 ; leaving a balance of £2,827. At the corresponding period of 1861 the disposable sum was £95,069 ; the r ate of dividend 2 : 7 , per cent. per annum, being for the half-year £92,669, leaving a balance of £2,400. showing a decreanc in the di. k .,..tne o,.uL of .E.71,6a0, and an increase in the balance carried over of £427. This comparison is not of much use, because the circum stances of the Great Western are quite different now from what they were at the corresponding period of 1861. On the Ist of July, 1861, the Great Western and West Midland commenced working together on joint account, and at the end of the half-year, De cember 31, the total receipts were £1,212,201, and the portion divisible between the two companies was £714,510, of which the Great Western took 821- per cent., or £582,471, and the West Midland 171 per cent., or £125,039. The result was that the Great Western Company had a disposable balance of £133,983, out of which they declared a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, which absorbed £123,559, and left a balance of £10,424, with which they commenced the past year. On the let January last the two companies jointly commenced to lease and work the South Wales Railway, paying the latter a minimum rent of £170,000 a year,and also certain allowances for plant and expenses. The payment to the South Wales Company under this arrangement for the past half year ending the 30th of June amounted to £88,250. The first half of the year being the least produc tive by £lO,OOO or £12,000, the rent fell heavier on the receipts of the past half-year than it will in the next half-year. This, however, is but a small mat ter as compared with the loss over the combined systems of the three companies during the half-year from the great depression of trade in the mineral and manufacturing districts. The deficiency on the Shrewsbury lines was increased from £12,142 to £22,494, making a difference of £10,352 against the Great Western, instead of, as formerly, showing a reduced amount of deficiency payable every year. It appears from the traffic returns of the Great Western, West Midland, and South Wales Rill • ways combined, during the first 22 weeks of the past half•year, that there was a decrease of £3,488 as compared with the corresponding period of last year, but during the four following weeks in Jude the receipts were so increased by the operation of the International Exhibition that an augmentation of £20,100 was produced on the receipts of the 26 weeks as compared with the corresponding period of 1861. Under ordinary circumstances it is pro bable that an increase of about £60,000 might have taken place in the receipts of those lines during the past half-year ; at all events, the traffic receipts in the current half-year are much more encouraging, for they amount in the aggregate for the first five weeks to £333,402 against £288,413 for the corre sponding period of last year, showing an increase of £44,989, or about £5,000 per week. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The report of the directors states that the net revenue for the six months ending the 30th June, after deducting interest on loans, and all other h pre -- fe ' l 'tial added zl c charges, amounts to £143,362, to which is ,012 the surplus at December last, making £l44,fi v thata ilable for dividend.

The state of trade throughout the country during the half-year has tended towards a more general d e _ pression of traffic than was reasonably anticipated, particularly in merchandise. The relaying of the permanent way has been continued during the past half-year, both on the main line and branches. The former has now been completed, and £lO,OO O have been charged to revenue on that account. The doubling of the Southampton and Dorchester line is being steadily proceeded with. The distance between Wituborne and Dorchester (25 miles) is fr. almost completed to formation level. The Salisbury THE SUN, LONDON'. and Yeovil Railway Company have commenced to lay down the additional rails on portions of their line, so as to make a double road. The directors re gret to inform the shareholders that in consequence of the adverse verdict of the jury upon Ford's case, arising out of the accident which occurred at Wimbledon in Jan., 1861, the company has been called upon to pay several large amounts for com pensation. The directors are still of opinion that the verdict of the coroner's jury was correct. The directors have carried £6,792 to the compensation account for the half-year. They have purchased the shares and property of the South-Western Navigation Company for a corresponding amount of 4 per cent. debenture stock, instead of paying rent at 5 per cent. The board recommend the ac ceptance by the proprietors of a lease for seven years from the Ist of January last of the Exeter and Credition Railway at a rent of 55 per cent. of per cent. of its gross receipts. The directors have also made arrangements for leasing the North Devon Railway 35 miles in length, from Crediton to Barnstaple, at a rent of about £15,000 per an nual for the first seven years of the lease, and £16,000 thereafter. The rent of the Bideford line of six miles in length will be about £2,375 for the first seven years of the lease, and about £2,650 thereafter. It is proposed to complete the narrow gauge accommodation on those railways forthwith. The report of J. Beattie, the engineer, states that the expenditure in the locomotive and carriage de partment averaged 9.07 d. per mile ; and that 47 goods, six timber, two cattle, and five coal wag gons, and two carriage trucks, 62 in all, have been built in lieu of a similar number worn out, and the cost has been charged to the revenue account. The capital account shows that £12,037,321 had been expended, !caving a balanca of £267,194. PIRACY, MURDER, AND BURNING OF A SHIP. (From the Western Morning News.) We are enabled to place before our readers some details of the most atrocious case of piracy, murder, and burning of a ship that has occurred for many years past, at least in European waters. Captain Grove, of the English brig Susannah, who arrived at Falmouth on Wednesday, has fully narrated the appalling circumstances to our correspondent at that port. It appears that about 8 a.m. on the 9th of July last, when about 16 miles S.E. of Malaga, Captain Grove observed the American barque Rein deer, with her ensign down, and her sails flying about as if she was adrift. Ho was then some dis tance from her, but he immediately lowered his quarter gig, and (with four of his crew) proceeded towards the Reindeer. On arriving alongside, Captain Grove observed a man with his head partly over the rail. Smoke was issuing from the poop of the barque. Before getting on board Capt. Grove spoke to the half murdered man on deck, and endea voured to obtain some particulars of the disaster. He was only just strong enough to say that a part of the crew had been murdered by two Spa niards, who belonged to the Reindeer, and that after murdering or disabling the crew, they had set fire to the ship, stove one boat, and had taken away the other, and made their escape. The cap tain and crew of the Susannah went on board, and were horror-struck on seeing the state of the vessel. The appearance of the mutilated men on board, the quantity of blood on deck, the groanings of the captain and men, were horrible beyond description. The steward was on the deck half murdered and lying in his blood ; his face and head had been so cut and disfigured with a knife as to make it won derful that he should have survived. He was very weak through loss of blood, but just able to move. The master of the Reindeer (Capt. S. W. Hewitt) was on the main hatch, covered with a blanket, groaning most piteously, insensible. It seems that he was attacked when asleep in his cabin ; his head was partly severed from his body, and it is supposed he was left for dead ; one half of his left ear was cut off, and when he awoke and was a little sensible the cabin was full of smoke, but he has no r ecollec tion of any of the circumstances of the horrible out rage. The first mate had also been attacked, and was cut with a knife very severely in the neck, and seriously injured. Tho second mato, J. H. Hancoy, of Liverpool, and a seaman named Henry F. Jones, of Cardiff, were both murdered whilst asleep in their berths. Capt. Grove saw them lying there, and thinks that their deaths must have been instantane ous ; they werein the same position as if asleep, but the quantity of blood around them formed a large pool ; the hearts of both men were visible through the severe cuts in their sides, and it would seem as if they had been struck on the head by some instru ment and then immediately stabbed in the left side, near the heart ; their features did not appear to have been altered. The ship's boy on board was also attacked by the ruffians, and, having received a cut from a knife, he jumped overboard and swam for ward to the hobstay, where he quietly remained until the murderers left the vessel. The carpenter and cook were murdered whilst on deck and thrown overboard ; the boy saw these two attacked and killed, and their bodies thrown out. The others of the crew who had up to this time escaped, seeing the frightful state to which matters were approach ing, climbed to the foretop and cut the topgallant studding sail halyard-block to protect themselves. The ruffians did not venture aloft, and it would seem that they were short of powder, as, although they had pistols, they did not fire. Amongst the crew of the Reindeer were two Spaniards. They were not in the same watch; and on the night of this horrible act one of them contrived to borrow a knife from each man of the watch, saying that he wanted to cut some meat to eat. At this time the other Spaniard was supposed to be asleep. After having obtained the knives from the whole of the crew of that watch, and deprived them of their usual means of protection, these cold-blooded murderers set to work in a business-like manner. They first provided themselves with two pistols each, and a maul under one arm,and attached knives to their side. A pistol was presented to the first mate several times, but it snapped and did not discharge. Thus he was spared his life, but received several severe cuts and injuries from knives. Some little time after Capt. Grove had been on board the Reindeer, the American ship Minstrel, Capt. Clifford, came to her assistance, and every endeavour was made by these two ship-masters and their crews to save the barque from burning. She had been set fire to fore and aft ; they battened everything down to prevent any air reaching the fire, arid cut holes in her deck, and for a time the fire appeared to be somewhat sub dued ; when, however, it reached the transom, the flames broke out with much force at the stern. The Reindeer was a ship of about 800 tons. Capt. Grove and Capt. Clifford having consulted toge ther, they thought it best to take the whole of the crew on board the Minstrel, and in doing so expe rienced some difficulty in getting the wounded from the ship ; they had to lower them down over the sides of the vessel, Capt. Hewitt at the same time being senseless. They left the Reindeer at about five p.m. ; Capt. Grove remained close to her during the night, and saw her go down about eight a.m. the next morning. When on board the Reindeer Capt. Grove noticed a log-book, whicla had been kept by Jones, one of the murdered men, from which it appeared that he shipped on board the Mary Ann in Cardiff in 1861, and ran from her. Three watches wore carried off by the murderers, as well as 400 dollars. Capt. Grove has in his possession three of the knives used on the occasion, with the blood of the poor murdered and mutilated crew of the Rein deer still about them. During the night after the murder, and whilst the Susannah was in a calm, and only a short distance from the burning ship, Capt. Grove saw a boat with four hands and a litter pul ling close to the Susannah. Suspecting that there was more mischief nt work, he mustered the whole of his crew on the quarter-deck, and armed them, in the belief that the boat consisted of pirates be longing to the same party. When the boat came nea r his vessel Capt. Grove fired a shot across the boat's bo wOn this they pulled away as quickly as possible, andwas he saw no more of them. A Spanish felucca t i me, and it is the also in the immediate locality at the opinion of Captain Grove that the men tie s ag w inht . across their bow were the murderers, and at on bow they went on board t th il felucca,as h although she had orene i ver saw her afterwards, com p with him. threenay s previously been in MONDAY IVE XING, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, Aug. 9. Mr. Baron Martin and Mr, Baron Bramwell were both engaged on Saturday in trying civil causes, and they disposed of a number of common jury cases. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) COLLIER T. MILLSON. This was an action of false imprisonment, and the defendant pleaded that the plaintiff was the keeper of a public-house, and that he went to his house for refreshment, and while he was there he was robbed of his watch and chain and some money, and that the plaintiff was present when the robbery was committed, and did not render him any assis tance, and that he was therefore justified in giving him into custody. Mr. Oppenheim was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Prentice appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action is the landlord of the Golden Lion public house, Kent-street, in the Borough, and the defendant is an architect, who carries on his business in Lincoln's-inn-fields. The circumstances e t c h u a l i t a led r. I t h to appeared bringing that of the action ori April 17, the day before Good Friday, the defendant went to the Golden Lion, accompanied, as was stated by several prostitutes and other disorderly persons, and there was no doubt that he conducted himself in a very extraordinary manner for a man in his position. He called for all sorts of liquors, with which he regaled the women and the other persons who accompanied him, and upon some man coming into the house to play the banjo he took the instru ment from him and went into the tap-room, and began to dance and play nigger fashion. The plain tiff it appeared did not come home until nearly 12 o'clock at night, and at this time there was a scene of great uproar and confusion, and he went to the room where the defendant was, and requested him and the other parties to leave the house, as he said he must close at 12 o'clock on account of the fol lowing day being Good Friday. Upon this the de fendant and all the others came in front of the bar, when it appeared there was some scuffling and hustling, and the defendant dropped some gold ooins, and they were scrambled for and stolen. At length the defendant and all the other people left the house, and either at this time or shortly after wards the defendant was robbed of a gold watch, which he stated to be worth £35, and he gave a man named Donkley in charge for stealing it, and he was taken to the police-station and locked up. He then it appeared went back to the house of the plaintiff, accompanied by a policeman, and gave him also in charge for being concerned in stealing his watch with the man Donkley, and as the fol lowing day was Good Friday, he was detained at the police-station until Saturday morning, the po lice not having power to take bail in cases of felony. He was then taken to Southwark Police Court, but the defendant did not make his appearance to sup port the charge, and the plaintiff and the other man were consequently set at liberty. Some cor respondence subsequently passed between Mr. Neale, the plaintiff's attorney, and the defendant, who seemed inclined to persist in the charge he had made, and the only excuse he gave for not ap pearing before the magistrate was, that he was going to be married and that he did not wish to have his name brought before the public in connexion with such a transaction Police-sergeant Gardner of the M division, who took the charge, stated in cross-examination that the Golden Lion was situated in a very low neighbourhood, and that it was principally frequented by prostitutes and thieves, but he at the same time said that these were the only description of custcmers that could go to it, as none other lived in the neighbourhood. Mr. Prentice, in his address to the jury for the defendant, contended that he was justified in giving the plaintiff into custody under the circumstances. He said he did not deny that the defendant had acted very foolishly in going to such a place and conducting himself as he did, and he might very well be ashamed of appearing before the magistrate and giving his evidence, but the jury would con sider whether it was not the duty of the plaintiff to have protected him when he knew the class of per sons by whom he was surrounded, and that as he did not do so the defendant might very reasonably have believed that he was aiding in the robbery. Baron Bramwell having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £5O. Mr. Prentice subsequently applied that execu tion might be stayed, on the ground that the damages were excessive and his lordship granted the application. SEALE V. WEAGGE. This was an action to recover damages for injuries caused to the plaintiff's carriage upon his return from the races on the Derby day. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Prentice, and Mr. J. Sharpe appeared for the plaintiff; Sergeant Ballan tine and Mr. Garth were for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action it appeared was a gentleman residing in Craven-street, Strand, and the defendant is a coach proprietor and job-master at Walthamstow, and it was stated that he used to drive the renowned Brighton coach, the Vivid. On the Derby day the plaintiff and some other gentlemen, all of whom were connected with the law, went to Epsom in a carriage and pair, and the accident that was the subject of inquiry occurred about 8 o'clock at night, on the return home. According to the evi dence of plaintiff and his witnesses, his coachman was in the act of pulling into a rank of carriages that were going along on the near side of the road, by the direction of the police, when the defendant, who was driving a drag in which were a number of gentlemen, came up at a rapid rate, and his hind near wheel caught the off hind wheel of the plain tiff's carriage, and broke it to pieces, and threw the party out. None of them, however, it appeared, received any personal injury, and the amount of the damage done to the vehicle was estimated at £l6. The case on the part of defendant was, that the ac cident arose from the carriage of the plaintiff having suddenly backed out of the rank upon the drag, not through the negligence of the driver, but on account of a jibbing horse having suddenly stopped and thrown the rank into disorder. It appeared in the course of the case that no application was made to the defendant for compensation after the accident, but he was at once served with a copy of a writ, and also that an attempt had been made to get the trial sent down to the Warwick assizes, the ground for this application being an affidavit that a fair trial could not be had in the county of Surrey. Sergeant Ballantine, in addressing the jury for the defendant, endeavoured to show that the ae• cident was occasioned by the plaintiff's carriage, and that there was no negligence on the part of the defendant, who, he said, from the position he formerly held, must have been a first-rate whip, He also characterised the action as a very trumpery one, and said he believed it would never have been brought if it had not unfortunately happened that all the persons in the carriage were lawyers or con nected with the law. Baron Bramwell, in summing up,said it certainly appeared to him a very great pity that a case like this, when a sum of £l6 appeared to be all that was in dispute, should have been brought for trial at the assizes at an enormous expense, when it might have been very easily settled in the County Court, and he also observed upon the folly of endea vouring to have the trial sent down to the Warwick assizes. The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, but it was arranged that the amount of damages should be settled out of court. There were several causes in the list in this court in which the plaintiffs were professional artistes and the d e f en da n t was Mr. Simpson, the late pro prietor of Cremorne. The actions were all similar to the one tried at Lewes last week, and, as upon that occasion, the plaintiff obtained a verdict, the ques tion being, if the defendant had entered into sea son engagements with the parties for their services at the Surrey-gardens during the present season. Mr. Simpson would not contest the point any fur ther, and these actions were all understood to be settled. (Before Baron Martin.) His Lordship disposed of a Lumber of common jury causes during the day; our of them, Fletcher v. Marriott, occupied a considerable time. The plaintiff, Major Fletcher, sued the defendant, who was his father-in-law, to recover the sum of £3OO, the balance of £l,BOO that had been paid for his commission in one of the West Indian regiments. The case appeared to have arisen out of family dif ferences, and was of no interest to the public. CALLANDEIE. THE MOORE AND FORESTS. — Sportsmen are beginning to arrive et their shooting boxes in this quarter. The weather is very wet. The stock of grouse here is below the average, End there is a great defi ciency of young birds. The coveys on the best ranges here do not exceed from four to six birds in each—indeed it is almost rare to see a covey with fore than four. On the Balquidder moors the birds are roach smaller than usual, having grown ill. There is, however, an abundance of old birds. On the Stronvar, Edinchip, Strathgartney , prior, and Leny moors average sport is not expected, and the birds are not nearly full g-own. On the Callander moors the prospects are rather better. Fallow deer in the forests are plentiful and in excellent condition. Rod-fish ing.—Excellent baskets of freshwater trout are g o t almost daily on the fishing waters here. On Loch Ard, Loch Achray, and Loch Lubnaig, anglers are making capital sport. Several of the trout weigh 41b. to 71b. on Loch Vennachar, Loch Voil, and the Lake of Monteith trout fishing is very successful, and sme anglers on Tuesday got from ten to twelve dozen.

On Saturday forenoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, prosecuted an inquiry at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town, touching the death of an infant, aged about five or six weeks, found alive in a bandbox at a r a ilwa y s tation under extrasrdinary circumstances. Edward Emery, office-porter on the London and North-Western Roilway at Euston-square station, deposed that he was called on Thursday at three p.m. to take charge of a bandbox left in a water closet at the station, which was covered with two wrapping cloths, and careftlly tied up with a cord. An address was written on paper in a bold hand, and sewed upon the outer wrapper as follows : " To the Lady Warden of St. Michael's School, Bog nor, Essex." On opening the bandbox he found in it a living male child. He wen t for medical aid ' without loss of time, and eventually the deceased was removed to St. Pancras Workhouse Infirmary. A female nurse of the infant ward of the work house infirmary, named Champe, said she took charge of the child about nine o clock the same night. It then appeared to be dying, and expired about three hours afterwards. Every effort wa.c.' made to save its life. Mr. W. Sowerby, surgeon of St. Pancras inflr , mart', stated that he attended the deceased after it had been received into the infirmary, between nine and ten o'clock. It was pulseless and very cold, breathing but three times a minute instead of some twenty-four times, as a child of that age ought to do. A note was sent from a medical man called in at the railway station, stating the treatment he had given it before removal, to the effect that he had given the child port wine and water and coffee injections, and also port wine and water by the mouth ; that the child appeared to be suffering from narcotic poisoning. Witness set up artificial respiration, but it sank and died a few minutes before twelve. The result of a post mortem exami - nation showed that deceased was five or six weeks old, and died from compression of the brain and overflow of blood in the vessels, produced no doubt from the narcotic poisonous effects of carbonic acid. caused by close confinement in the bandbox. He analysed the contents of the stomach for morphia, &c., but could find none. Verdict, " Wilful murder" against some person or persons unknown. ANOTHER MURDER. BY A MANIAC. A murder, closely resembling in its general aspect the tragedy recently enacted on 1 udgate-hill, has been committed in the neighbourhood of the City road. The scene of the murder was 18, Brunswick place, and the victim the son of the murderess. The house has been for some years in the tenancy of Mr. Coole, foreman in a large cabinet-making esta blishment. He was father of four children by Mrs. Adelaide Coole, his wife, the youngest being Charles, aged 15 months. For some time Mrs. Coole has been subject to ill-health, her malady being, it is stated, consumption of a malignant type, and a nurse was brought in. On Thursday afternoon Mr. Coole left home, leaving his wife, to all appearance, in her ordinary state of health. About two hours afterwards Mrs. Coole went down to the kitchen, where her servant had charge of the little boy Charles, and the nurse was also there. She made no remark to either of the women, nor was it noticed that there was anything peculiar in her manner; but she took the child by the hand, and led it out of the kitchen upstairs. It was subsequently remem bered that a large carving-knife, which had been lying on the kitchen table was missing from the spot immediately afterwards ; and there is no doubt that the unhappy woman contrived to take it out of the kitchen unperceived. Scarcely ten minutes had elapsed when Mrs. Cook, again made her appearance in the kitchen, looking ghastly white, and in a state of convulsive trem bling. She did not utter a word, and appeared unable to do so, and only with difficulty kept on her feet. The sight of the palms of her hands, which were completely eovered with blood, made the servants run upstairs, half fainting with terror, and upon going into the back room on the first floor she saw the lifeless body of the little boy, his throat severed from ear to ear by a fearful wound, which nearly divided the head from the trunk. Beside him lay the carving knife with which the act had been committed, and the carpet on which the warm and bleeding corpse lay was saturated with blood. On going to the kitchen she found that the mother had fainted, and then it was discovered that she had also inflicted a wound in her own throat, doubtless with the carving-knife with which she had already destroyed her child. The cut was not more than skin deep, and it is sup posed that failure of strength prevented her accom plishing the crime of suicide. Dr. Rogers, who had been in attendance on Mrs. Coole, was sent for, and, after prescribing for the mother, he made an examination of the murdered child. All the prin cipal arteries and vessels of the neck were severed, and the knife had penetrated to the bone. Death must have been instantaneous. The injuries which had been inflicted by Mrs. Coole upon herself were pronounced not to be in themselves dangerous, but her condition was such as to render it impossible to say whether death might not take place. In spector Webster was communicated with, and he sent down constables to take Mrs. Coole into cus tody ; but upon the certificate of the medical man that her removal would be highly dangerous, she w as not removed from the house, an officer remain ing with her until she can be transferred to prison. No motive whatever has been assigned for the mur der of the child. Mrs. Coole is 39 years of age. upstairs, and she wanted to go into the room where deceased was, saying that he was crying. He was net, of course, crying, being perfectly dead. There were four children. One of them, Walter, was in the room, witness thought, at the time; the others were at school. Deceased had been reading the Bible during the afternoon in a low tone. ' Dr. J. F. Rogers said that at four o'clock on the day in question he was sent for to see the deceased. Re was lying in a pool of blood on the floor, and quite dead. There was a wound in the throat ex tending from the left to a little below the right ear. All the principle arteries, the windpipe, and the gullet were divided, and the knife had penetrated to the bone. The carving knife lay on the chest of drawers, and was covered with blood. Witness had been attending Mrs. Coole since the beginning of July, and she was at present quite unfit to attend before the court. The Coroner said that in a case so seriously af fecting Mrs_ Coole he would adjourn the inquest, to give her an opportunity of being present before a verdict should be returned. Inspector Webster said that it would be impossi ble to remove the prisoner at present. The Court then adjourned. THE INQUEST. On Saturday morning an investigation was held by Mr. John' Humphreys, one of the Middlesex coroners, at the Queen's Head Tavern, Pitfield street, New North -road. Inspector Webster, of the N division had the management of the case on the part of the Commis sioners of Police; and Mr. T. W. Rogers, solicitor, of Fenchurch-street, attended on behalf of the accused. The jury having been empanelled, proceeded to view the body of the deceased, w ht c h lay on a bed in the room where the murder had been committed, and presented a fearful spectacle, being covered with blood. The carpet on the floor was also satu rated with blood. Mr. Mark Coole, 18, Brunswick-place, City-road, the father of the deceased, said that he left home on , when his son was quite well, Thursday afternoon having dined with himself and Mrs. Cool& Witness was the tenant of the house, but occupied only a portion of it. His wife had been an invalid for some years, principally with rheumatic fevers, which broke up her constitution. Dr. Davis lately in formed him that oue of her lungs was gone, and that there was no hope of her recovery. Since her illness she occupied the front room, and they dined in it on Thursday. She was not confined to her bed, but was only strong enough to walk up and down stairs, and she had a nurse to attend to her. That was because Dr. Rogers said she should be kept quiet. Witness did not notice any indications of insanity. On the Thursday, after dinner, she was reading her Bible, and she was very low spirited, and said that she was afraid her soul was lost. Witness told her to cheer up, and not to give way to such notions. Her father's sister went out of her mind three or four years ago, and she had said that she was afraid she should go out of her mind also. She had been very nervous and debilitated for some time, and if anything happened she would appa rently become like a maniac, but would recover and apologise for her passion. She was not given to drink. About two hours after witness left the house he was sent for, and found what had hap pened. Elizabeth Frere, servant to last witness, said that on the day in question she was in th e kit c h en w i t h the nurse, when Mrs. Coole came down and kissed the child, which was playing at the bottom of the stairs. She kissed him and took him upstairs, say ing nothing to witness. About four or five minutes after she returned, and was very pale and agitated, trembling violently. She said nothing and her hands were all over blood. Witness ran up stairs, and upon going into the back room on the first floor saw little Charles on the floor bleeding, and in a pool of blood. The carving knife produced (a very large one, with a rough handle) was on the floor. It was usually kept behind the door in the front kitchen, and Mrs. Coole went into that kitchen before going upstairs with the child. Witness had asked Mrs. Coole whether she should take the child upstairs for her, and she said " No, let him alone." By Mr. Rog ers—Mrs, Coole was very fond of deceased. By the Jury—There was another little child, older than deceased, in the house, and when wit ness went upstairs he was looking at deceased lying on the floor. Maria Hayden said that she had been nursing Mrs. Coole five weeks. At three o'clock she left the deceased asleep in the front room. About half past three Mrs. Coole brought the child downstairs, and left him i n t h e ki tchen, go i ng u p s t a i rs aga i n directly. She might then have possessed herself of the carving -knife. She returned in about ten mi nutes, and took the child, who was running about, upstairs again. Witness heard no cry, but in 15 or 20 minutes she entered the kitchen, pale and speechless. Witness said, " Oh, you have broke a blood-vessel," when she observed that there was blood on her throat, dress, and hands. Mrs. Coole said nothing, and was placed upon a chair, when a wound was seen in her throat. Witness ran upstairs to call the lodgers, and suw the deceased with hia throat cut and quite dead. Upon going down to the kitchen they et Mrs. Coole coining MURDER OF A WOMAN AT ISLETVORTH. An inquest was held on Saturday by Mr. Bird, at the Chequers Inn, Isleworth, on the body of a wo man who was murdered on Thursday evening last, about eight o'clock, in Lion-lane, Isleworth, the bedy having been discovered by a postman, who im mediately before had heard the report of e; pistol, and had seen a man running away. The first witness examined was Sarah Barnham, who said she was the mother of the murdered woman. The deceased went by the name of Barnham, but she was married to a man who called himself Copeland about four years ago. The man's real name was Cooper, and he was a deserter. Her daughter was 25 years of age. She had not lived with her husband for some months. Wit ness last saw her daughter on Thursday, the 7th inst. She also saw Copeland first at the bottom of the lane, watching the rifle shooting ; he afterwards came to the house where she was living with her father and mother—that is, the ,grandfather and grandmother of the deceased. He was for about two hours in the house waiting for her daughter to come in. Her father then came home, and Copeland ran into the wash-house to get out of his way. He had repeatedly threatened to do some mischief to witness and to her daughter. He had shown her three bul lets which he kept in his pocket, and said he would not trouble Ann (her daughter) much longer. He added that he had grossly wronged her, but it was 13 years ago that he had married his first wife. Witness was awfully afraid of him, because she knew how savagely he behaved sometimes. Before he left the house her mother called to him and said she would give him up, meaning that she would inform against him as being a deserter. Her daughter said he should not be given up. She then followed him out of the house. She had been st Richmond all the day with her sister. After the examination of the witness was terminated she started up in a frantic manner, and said, " I am certain he did it. He stabbed his first wife." The witness was continuing in an incoherent manner, when she was removed from the room. Rosiaa Barnham, who said she was a sister of the deceased, stated that she was a domestic servant, and lived at Richmond Green. Her brother-in - law came once to see her on Sunday last. She was afraid of being alone with him,as he had frequently threatened her life. While she was out with him and the deceased, Copeland showed them three bullets, and said, " One is for Ann, another for the old woman, and the third is for the first man that stops me." He said he had kept them three months for the purpose. He seemed in a very determined and revengeful state. She had not seen any pistol in his possession. James Auden, a letter-carrier, said that on Thurs day evening, about 8 o'clock, he was in the Brazil, Mill-lane, when he heard the report of firearms. Upon going on farther he saw the deceased lying upon the ground, and he observed a man running away. The man had on a dark frock coat, and a low-crowned hat. When he found the deceased lying there, he called for assistance, and carried her to the union workhouse. She groaned heavily, and died while they were carry her off. He said to her, " For God's sake tell me who has done this," but she was then insensible, and unable to answer. Her bonnet, when he got up to her, was on fire, and he took it off and crushed it under his foot . Mr. John Machinley, a surgeon, proved finding a bullet in the brain of the murdered woman,which undoubtedly had caused her death. The inquiry was adjourned. - II IMPORTANT CAB OUESTION. Mr. Ingham has given a decision in a case of some importance both to the public and cabdrivers. Wm. Smith, cabdriver of Westminster, badge 12,627, was summoned before Mr. Ingham, by In spector Holden, on July 22d, charged with unlaw fully refusing a fare near to the International Exhi bition on the 10th ult. Defendant stated that he only received the sum mons on the previous night, and had not sufficient time to obtain a witness that be was not near the Exhibition on the 10th ult. Mr. Ingham adjourned the case to the 28th, that defendant might bring his witness. On the 28th defendant's solicitor gave his worship a letter from a lady, informing him that the cab man was driving her to her residence in Richmond terrace on the day and hour at which the summons stated the alleged offence to have been committed. The attendant at the cab rank was called on to support the summons. His evidence went to show that while defendant was driving slowly along the road on the 10th ult., about 5.30, some persons hailed him; he shook his head, and afterwards took up a party of four persons. The solicitor called on the magistrate to dismiss the summons, as the diffe rence of time between the summons, and the evi dence of the last witness, was fatal to the case. Mr. Ingham considered that as the facts were the same as stated by the inspector and the witness, the variation of time was a mere accident, which did not affect the case, but he would consent to adjourn the case to Monday, Aug. 4, to afford defendant an op portunity for proving where he was at 5.30 on the day in question. On Monday, Aug. 4, Mr_ Barnard stated that defendant was driving Col, Patten about five o'clock on July 10th, but as the colonel was in Paris and could not attend, he would take the case oa its merits. Defendant was going along the road, and by refusing a fare he committed no offence, He read the 35th section of the Ist and 2cl Wm. IV., cap. 22 :—" That every hackney carriage which shall be found standing in any street or place, and having thereon any of the numbered plates required by this act to be fixed on hackney carriages, shall, unless actually hired, be deemed to be plying for hire, although such hackney carriage shall not be on any standing or place usually appropriated for the purpose of hackney carriages standing or ply ing for hire, and the driver of every such hackney carriage which shall not be actually hired shall be obliged and compellable to go with any person de sirous of hiring such hackney carriage ;" and pro ceeded to show that the act applied only to cabs found standing. If they were moving along, they were not to be deemed to be plying for hire. Mr. Ingham held that defendant was standing, although going, for it was to his mind conclusive proof that defendant was plying for hire by taking up a fare after refusing others. He ordered him to pay 495. and costs. Mr, Barnard then asked his worship for a case, as it is the wish of a noble philanthropist to settle the interpretation of the 35th section. Mr. Ingham immediately granted a case to be taken into the Court of Queen's Bench. THE TRADE BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS AND THE Nowni.—According to advices received in Liverpool from New York it would appear that the trade between New Orleans and that port, and vice versa, was gradually increas ing.
