IN RE VEILLARD. To-day was appointed for argument as to whether a public sitting should be held in this court for the examina tion of the Hon. W. Cadogan and other witnesses to inquire into the affairs of M. Veillard, one of the contractors for the refreshment dep ar t men t at t h e I n t er national Exhibi tion, which are at present being wound up under a deed of inspection. Mr. Lawrence applied to the court on Monday on behalf of Messrs. Mappin, who, with other creditors, dissented from the arrangement, and represented debts to the amount of about £7,000, nearly one fourth of the liabilities of M. Veillard. His honour on that occasion declined to make any order, as notice of the intention to apply had not been given to the inspectors and other parties interested. This having been done, Mr. Bischoffe, the solicitor to the inspec tors, produced the deed, and Mr. H. Linklater appeared for Mr. Cadogan, who was present. Mr. Lawrence repeated what he had stated on the last occasion, that he did not question the validity of the deed; he merely asked for leave to examine the debtor (M. Veil lard) and other persons touching the estate of effects. His Honour said that, prima facie, that was the duty of the inspectors under the deed. Mr. Lawrence said that the object of the inquiry was for eliciting evidence as to the assets. On the face of the ac counts there was a very large deficiency, and he (Mr. Law rence) would also examine the debtor, with a view of esta blishing a partnership between him and a solvent person, and if that was established as a fact, the creditors would be paid 20s. in the pound. Mr. Bischoffe said that the application was perfectly un justifiable, and contended that the Court would not, in such a case, interfere between the inspectors and the credi tors, nine-tenths of whom had assented to the deed of in spection. He also felt bound to do justice to Mr. Cadogan, and to state that that gentleman had gone voluntarily to them (himself and the inspectors), to answer any ques tions to be put to him, and which were to be put into writ. ing. Thia was done, but the inspectors had no power to administer an oath. He (Mr. Bischoffe) said that the in spectors had been doing everything in their power for the benefit of the estate. He complained that Mr. Cadogan should have been alluded to. Mr. Lawrence said that he had not mentioned that gen tleman's name. Mr. Bischoffe said he had on a previous occasion. Mr. Lawrence replied that what he now said was, that there was a person supposed to be a solvent partner. Mr. Bischoffe urged that it was the bounden duty of a creditor who had any ground of complaint, or could afford information, to go to the inspectors. They had obtained a large sum of money, which would not have been got in except through their exertions. Mr. Lawrence said he would materially assist in shorten ing the case. If Mr. Bischoffe would give his word that the inspectors had been and 'would continue to act promptly, he would withdraw the application, it being understood that Mr. Bischoffe would follow up any person he had his eye on as a solvent partner. Mr. Linklater said that Mr. Cadogan was anxious for the fullest and most open enquiry, but ultimately it was agre e d that further remarks should be dropped, and the adjourn ment to take place, Mr. Lawrence reserving his right to apply if advisable. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) THE RIGHT OP LICENSED VICTUALLERS TO TURN OUT REFRACTORY CUSTOMERS.-IMPORTANT DECISION.- This was an action to ree, ver £lO damages, alleged to have been sustained under circumstances of considerable importance to licensed victuallers and their customers; Mr. Beard appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Buchanan for defendant. Mr. Beard called the plaintiff, a powerful looking man, who said that upon a certain day he went into defendant's parlour for some refreshment. Defendant not only refused to serve him, but roughly ejected him, and violently kicked plaintiff in the back. Plaintiff had been compelled to em ploy a doctor, and had, in consequence of defendant's con duct, suffered very considerably. Cross -examined—I was sober, and defendant had been drinking. I did nat threaten to strike defendant. Mr. Beard called two witnesses, who corroborated the plaintiff; as to the kick and soberness. Mr. Buchanan said this was a case of considerable im portance to publicans and licensed victuallers, and it would be proved that plaintiff was intoxicated when he entered defendant's house. He was ejected, and no more violence was used than proved absolutely necessary. Defendant said he was a licensed victualler in Bishops gate. street. Upon a certain day plaintiff visited the house, and he no sooner came in than he commenced kicking up a row. Witness turned him out with assistance, and then Plaintiff returned armed with a stick. Witness told him he should not come in, and he (witness) took up a pint pot as a defence. Luckily neither stick nor pint pot was made use of, and plaintiff was a second time put out of the house. Witness would positively swear he did not kiek the plaintiff. Witnesses, called by Mr. Buchanan, deposed to facts con tained in the above statement. Mr. Beard said it was for his Honour to decide, but as a support to plaintiff's case he would hand up the medical certificate to prove that plaintiff had been injured. His Honour, looking at the certificate, could not but think that plaintiff had been hurt, but he had evidently brought it upon himself. If he went into the defendant's house and misconducted himself, defendant was justified in removing him ; and on the whole his Honour believed the defendant's witnesses. He should therefore find for defendant, with costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(7I4IB Day). (Before Mr. Pownall and a full bench of magistrates.) LICENSING DAY. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in renewing unopposed licenses. The application of the Adelaide Gallery, the Strand Music Hall, and the other opposed applications, will be taken to-morrow. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) ROBBERY OF 'WATCHES. William Harris and William Winchester were indicted for stealing a case of six watches and a locket, the property of John Troup, o f H a t ton-garden. Harris pleaded guilty. Charles Campbell said he was a clerk to the prosecutor. On Friday last the prisoners came to his employer's house, and presenting a card, " Webster's," of Cornhill, asked to look at some gold alberts. The chains were shown them, and no particular notice was taken about the matter until a Mrs. Keats said something that led him to follow the prisoner Harris, who had left the warehouse, and coming up to him in Cross-street, Hatton-garden, he (witness) told him he had broken a case containing some watches, and that six had been stolen. He took the watches from his pocket, saying he was guilty. As be was being taken back to Mr. Troup's he threw something away which he said was a locket belonging to Mr. Troup. The value of the property stolen amounted to £10: The witness Keats said she saw the prisoner Winchester take the watches from the case and put them into Harris's pocket previous to his leaving the warehouse. The jury found Winchester guilt y. Mr. Payne sentenced both prisoners to three years' penal servitude. ROBBING A FRENCHMAN. Mary Ann Davis was indicted for stealing a coat, the property of M. Segisburg. The prosecutor said he had been to the theatre with his friend, and before they went homo they went into a public house at the corner of Wych-street, and there met the pri soner and some other girls. They entered into converse tien with them, and finally they treated them with some beer. The prosecutor, as he was leaving the house, missed his coat, and the prisoner, who had gone away, was suspected of stealing it. After the evidence for the prosecution had been given, Mr. Ribton created some amusement by the manner in which he cross-examined him. Mr. Ribton—Now, Mr. Segisburg, what were you doing with tILL) prisoner when, as you say, she took your coat ? What 1 nothing.-14e, dat is de case; nothing. You gave her something to drink ?—Yes, sir ; some bread and cheese. Do you call that drink ?-0h no ; she had with it some beer. I suppose you had taken a fancy to her, and had kissed her ?—No, I think not. But you tried. (Laughter.)—Oh, how do you know that ? (Laughter.) I say I did not, But she is rather good - looking , ain't sh e ;?—W e ll, y es , but I don't think I kissed her. (Laughter.) And you were both very comfortable.-oh, no, we were not ; the bench we were sitting on was so narrow. But that you know brought you closer together; what did you drink 2—Nothing. What, in a public-house, at one o'clock in the mornings not drinking I—l was smoking a cigar. Some other witnesses were examined, but the jury stopped the case and acquitted the p r i soner. In the case Stephen ➢leeney, the psuedo journalist, who was yesterday found guilty of obtaining goods under false pretences, a point of law was raised as to the validity of the finding of the jury. In answer to a question from Mr. Stockley Wood, the learned judge said he had not had time to consider the case ; he was desirous of consulting Mr. Bodkin before giving judgment, and would, therefore, postpone doing so until Wednesday next.

MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS.—DANGEROUS CHARACTERS. —Alexander Johnston, Edward Wilson, and Thos. Davis, was charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in the Hay market for the purpose of committing a felony. Waterson, 144 C, said at half-past 12 this morning he ' saw the prisoners go into Tabb's coffee-house, Bear-street, one of the lowest houses in the neighbourhood. They then came out and went to the Haymarket, where he saw them prowling about. They then separated but afterwards joined, and seeing a constable standing opposite them one of them exclaimed, " Oh, here's a bobby." On going up to them and asking what they were doing they said, " Only taking a walk." Hellicar, 171 C, produced a number of keys found on Johnstone. Sergeant Lambert, E division, said about two years ago he had Wilson in charge custody for a felony, and about two years ago he was charged at this court with Lis father for stealing furniture, bat escaped conviction. His father received a sentence of three months' imprisonme nt. Mr. Knox said he should remand Johnston and Wilson for a week that inquiry might be made:; but he should re mand Davis on his own recognisance, when if nothing was heard of him he should discharge him. He (Davis) had evidently fallen into very bad company, and the result of his going to the Haymarket with such persons would be 1 penal servitude. FIRE IN THE EUSTON -ROAD. This morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock, the greatest alarm was caused in the Euston -road owing to the outbreak of afire, which unfortunately proved of a de structive character, in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Curtis, zinc manufacturer, No. 298. The discovery was made by a policeman, who observed smoke issuing from the workshop windows. After some trouble he succeeded in making the inmates aware of their danger, and they all succeeded in safely making their escape. In a very few minutes two fire-escapes, several fire-engines, in3luding the land steam-engine of Shand and Mason, arrived. By this time the flames had made great progress, and were not only attacking with full vigour the whole of the back workshop, but also sundry portions of the dwell ing-house,and strong fears wera entertained lest the destruc- tive element should engulph the premises of Mrs. Swinny, brass founder. Ths mains of the 'West Middlesex Water Company having yielded a good supply, under the personal superintendence of Captain Shaw and Mr. Staples, the foreman of the C district, the engines were set to work from the most commanding position by the firemen, who were aided by over 50 auxiliaries, but some time elapsed before any impression could be made upon the flames, ;and at length, owing to the indomitable perseverance of all en gaged in the work, the flames were prevented from extend ing into the adjoining buildings, but they could not be ex tinguished until the back workshops on thef basement were burned out, the back rooms on ground floor and con tents destroyed, and the remainder of the premises and the contents seriously damaged by fire and breakage. The origin of the misfortune is unknown. Fortunately Mr. Curtis was insured in the Unity Fire-office, and the build ing was supposed to be insured in the Westminster-office. The Unity office being amalgamated with the Liverpool and London Fire-office, Mr. Charles Reade, one of the agents of that corporation, quickly attended to look after the salvage. The premises of Mrs. Swinney have sustained some damage by water &c., but not to a serious extent. 11ARKETS-TIHS DAY. MARK LANE.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with beasts, and all breeds moved off steadily at full curren cies. The best Scots said readily at 4s 8d per 81bs. The show of sheep was limited, and the mutton trade was somewhat active at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. The best Downs and half-breds realised quite 5s 6d per 81bs. A few superior pens went at 5s 8d per 81bs. We have to report a Thai trade for calves at 2d per 81bs more money. The best veal was worth 5s 4d per 81bs.

SOMERSET HOUSE FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.—Yes terday morning a large body of workmen commenced the removal of the entire granite pavement in the quadrangle of Somerset House, which has for some time past been used as a drill and parade ground of the Civil Service Volun• teers, and occasionally by the London Irish Brigade. The entire space is to be relaid and made level with a substratum of concrete, and a carefully rolled and solid pavement of asphalte and marble tar. PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Evening.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's paddlewheel steamship Tagus, Captain Hall, which left Southampton on Tuesday morning, with a general cargo and 55 passengers for Lis bon and 3/Jadeite, reached as far as 50 miles south-west of Plymouth at 8 o'clock this morning, when, most unexpect. edly (the weather being very fine, wind E.N.E., a strong breeze), the cross-head of the port. engine broke in two, and the engine became entirely useless. She then put about under her starboard engine and canvas, and reached the Sound about 5 o'clock this afternoon. The Tagus will be obliged to return to Southampton for repairs. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday.—The Union Steamship Company's mail packet Cambrian, Comutander Wm. Strutt, left this afternoon for the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and Ascension.

J. Anderson. The next wail ship home, the Norman, Commander Ladds, left Table Bay probably on the 21st of September, and may be expected here on the 28th or 29th inst.

This meeting closed with weather sufficiently fine to in duce everybody so inclined to attend the sport, and although the card promised an excellent day's racing the attendance was exceedingly small. The programme contained half a dozen items, the opening event being set for 1.30, and the last at four. Only two of the five entries went to the post for the New Stakes, Golden Dust being amongst the ab sentees. The layers of odds on Miss Livingstone were never in fear, as the mare won from the start. Vulture, who was consider: d of " better class!' than his opponents, has made a rattling favourite for the Hunters' Stakes ; his backers were, however, doomed to disappointment, for Peneus, purchased the previous day by Mr. Wm. Ash worth, cut down the favourite, and at the finish won easily. The winner, a very indifferent-looking filly, found a new purchaser in Mr. Henry Gravitt, who gave 73 guineas for her, which placed £23 to the credit of the race fund. Again in the Two -3 r-old Selling Stakes did the whole of the en tries go to the post. The fractiousness of Rowena caused an unpleasant delay, and, unfortunately for her backers, she was finally left at the post. Corydon, on the strength of Peneus's performance (with whom he ran second an Tuesday), was made the favourite. Captain Christie's colt was at first backed at evens, but at the close sto 2 was laid against him. Smoke, ridden in a curb bridle, and steered by Harry Grimahaw, was under better com mand than on Tuesday, and getting well away completely raced down his opponents, and found a new owner in Mr. Fuller, who placed 63 guineas to the credit of the race fund. Mr. Ten Broeck had both Wallace and Optimist in the Queen's Plate, and, although the former had been sent to Bedford, he was discovered lame, and neither started. Of the four runners, Master George was made the favourite, and after a fine set-to between Fordham and Custance, Matter George won by a neck. Peneus (for his third owner at this meeting), defeated the tremendous "pot" Olive Branch and Foretop for the Stratton Park Stakes, but was not claimed for the £l5O the winner was to be sold for. Ophelia easily beat Surbiton Hill for the Scurry Handicap, Goldhunter having been left at the post. The investments upon the Cesarewitch were not of an extensive character, but immediately after the races several telegrams arrived to different individuals, stating that Balder had won his trial, and no doubt there would have been a run on that horse had the bookmakers been present. Subjoined are details of the running : The New Stakes of 10 sous each, 5 ft, for two and three yr-olds ; maidens allowed 41b. Five furlongs. 5 subs. Mr. Bruce's Miss Livingstone, 3 yrs, Bst 41b (Custance) 1 Mr. Fuller's Baffler, 3 yrs, Bst 41b Betting-7 to lon Miss Livingstone. Baffler led until arriving at the turn for home, where Miss Livingstone cantered by him, and won by half a dozen lengths. • The Hunters' Stakes of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds'and upwards ; selling allow ances, gentlemen riders, professionals 61b extra. 011 et mile. 7 subs.

Peneus and Warrener were rather fractious, and after breaking away Warrener for some time refused to join his limes, who, with the exception of Vulture, remained seve ral lengths in advance of her starter. When they were sent away Vulture obtained an advantage, and with Pinkepoe, Warrener, Peneus, and the Rochester colt formed the front division, Real Jam, who did not get off on good terms, being last. Mr. Hughes's filly quickly made up her lost ground, and when a furlong of the distance had been run, Pinkepoe and Real Jam held the lead, Vulture lying third, and Peneus and Strike next. In rounding the turn the Rochester colt dropped astern, whilst Peneus joined the leaders. Approaching the distance Real Jam compounded, which left Pinkepoe with a slight lead of Vulture, who was closely waited upon on the rear side by Peneus, full of run ning. Half-way up the distance French gave the filly her head, and in a few strides she quitted her two leading com panions, and won by a length ; Pinkepoe, who was not per severed with from the Stand, finished two lengths in the rear of Vulture ; the rest beaten off. The Rochester colt did not pass the post. The winner was purchased by Mr. Henry Gravitt for 7 3 guineas. The Two-Year-Old Selling Stakes of 5 sous, added to a Sweepstakes of 6 sous each ; colts, Bst 71b ; filli e s, Bst 41b, selling allowances.

The last mentioned made play at a moderate pace, with Attaman second, Master George third, and Gleam last. About three-quarters of a mile from home Attaman joined Shepherdess, and the two racing for the lead rapidly left Master George and Gleam, who were following in close company. Attaman obtained the lead at the turn for home, and at the distance Master George went up to Mr. Sutton's colt, and a splendid race terminated in the last stride in-fa vour of Master George by a neck ; Gleam was a bad third, and Shepherdess trotted past the post.

DUNDEE, Oct. 7.—There was more life in the mar ket today than on Friday. The importation of flax into Dundee and the four neighbouring ports to the 30th of September this year is 30,969 tons, agai nst 23,755 tons to the same period last year. Into Hul it is 10,126 tons, against 7,697 tons in 1861. The total excess into the six ports is therefore 10,643 tons this year beyond last year, but only 2,783 tons beyond the average of the last four years. The im portation into Dundee is still extensive. Twenty five vessels with flax have arrived this month. This is not considered beyond the requirements of the trade. A moderate business has been done to-day, chiefly in small parcels. In some instances a fur ther small advance has been obtained for some marks. The importation of tow and codilla into Dundee and the four neighbouring ports and Hull is 6,976 tons to the 30th of September this year, against 6,749 last year. The average importation for the last four years to same period is 7,435 tons, being 459 tons more than the quantity arrived this year. Fine tows quite maintain their value, but the transactions reported are small. Common qualities are dull, and rather cheaper. Jute keeps up well in the south, and disappoints spinners here, who looked for lower prices. There is now more inquiry for the article here. There was a good inquiry for flax and tow yarns to-day. Jute yarns are quiet and irregular in price, but generally in. favour of the buyer. The demand for fine linens keeps up well. The West India advices are favour able. In North America a large business continues to be done in heavy goods for war purposes and for grain bags. LEICESTER, BTH,—The hosiery trade remains active, and the amount of business doing during thu past few days has been of a satisfactory character. Plain and useful goods continue in demand, ar.d manufacturers are busy in completing orders, At Loughborough and Hinckley business is steady, and the operatives are well employed. There are no stocks of any class of goods on hand. Yarns hold high in price, and spinners are well engaged. Thera is no important change in wools, the market being firm and prices high. NOTTINGHAM, BTH.—The lace trade this week is dull, which may be still attributed to the high price of cotton, which leaves manufacturers no margin at all for profit, for if they sell now they must do so at a loss in proportion to the prire of yarns. This must inevitably lead to the working of short time. The London trade has been very quiet, the fine weather keeping people away from town. The French trade is also quiet, in consequence of the high prices of goods. The Leipsic fair is now being held ; but hitherto it has been quiet. The Italian trade •is slow, as it usually is at this time of the year. Very little is doing for the American States. The hosiery business is dull ; few buyers have visited the market. Prices of all classes of goods continue very high, and none are making except to order. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, Oct. 9.—Wind this day at noon—North- Easterly; moderate breeze, and fine weather.

READING CHEESE AND HOP FAlR.—This fair, which commenced on Tuesday, was brought to a close yes terday, and proved successful to an extent beyond the ex pectation of the committee. Stalls were arranged for the hop merchants in the spacious Corn Exchange, and cheese was pitched in the general market. Every convenience and Accommodation were afforded by Mr. Smith, the clerk to the fair, and the utmost satisfaction in that respect was ex perienced. The show of hops was large, and much better than last year, the firms in the Borough being well repre sented. On the first day buyers were not numerous, but there were more on the following day, and trade was car ried on with more spirit than previously, a good number of pockets having exchanged hands. The prices realised were as follow :—Country Farnhams, £9 to £9 9s ; Mid and East Kent, £6 6s to £9 9s; Sussex, £6 6s to £8 8s; and foreign, £slos to £7. A considerable quantity of cheese was dis posed of, the best Cheddar fetching 72s per cwt.; other sorts of cheese, 56s to 60s. As the Farnham hop fair has failed, there is every reason for believing the Reading fair will be much more successful in future years, growers from the district of F arnham having promised to give it their support. THE SILLOTH LIFEBOAT.—This lifeboat, which belongs to the National Lifeboat Institution, having been presented to that society by Miss Burdett Coutts, had its quarterly exercise on Monday. The officer of coast guard at the station. thus reports:this valuable trial of the boat : " Silloth, Cumberland, Oct. 7. The lifeboat at this station was successfully launched to-day under most trying cir cumstances. We started from Silloth by land at 2.15 p.m., and reached Beckfoot at 3 p.m. The wind was blowing half a gale, a heavy sea rolling in, and dead low water. The horses had to take the water, and we had to launch th• boat for nearly a mile, over the sand, which was quickly and cheerfully done. The boat surged so much that one man was thrown out, but he fortunately received no injury. Everything went off well, and I can only say that what ever may occur we are prepared to go off tinder any circum stances. I have to mention that the coxswain of the life boat, John Duff, and the crew behaved in a manner which called for the highest praise, for had it not been for their determined resolution and seaman-like conduct the boat could not have been got off the beach." ATTEMPTED IClußDEß.—About ten o'clock on Saturday night a most diabolical and deliberate attempt at murder was made by a man named Wilkinson, an ex member of the null police force, his intended victim being a young married woman named Emma Barker. It appears that for some months past the unfortunate woman, whose husband is at sea, and whose, return is shortly expected, had been cohabiting with Wilkinson. A week or two ago, however, a quarrel having arisen between them, she deter mined to leave him. On Saturday evening he found out her whereabouts, and went to the house with a view of in ducing her to live with him. She most positively refused, when he drew forth a large clasp knife and threatened to " do" for her. A lodger, however, interfered, and he put the knife in his pocket. During this altercation the woman made her escape. The villain, however, met her about half an hour afterwards, and renewed his request for her again to live with him. Fearing that he meant to do her injury, she consented to do so, when he placed one of bis arms round her as if in reconciliation, and with the other, inflicted a severe wound in the back. Such WAS the force the blow that the point of the knife was broken by coming in contact with the backbone. He then raised his hand to deal a second blow, 'when the unfortun ate woman put up her hand to ward it Off. The knife, therefore, penetrated the left side just above the heart, inflicting a wound of about two inches. Surgical aid w as at o nce . procured, and the poor woman convey ed home. The prisoner was apprehended a few minutes afterwards, brought up at the Hull Police Court on Monday, and formally remanded fir eight days, as the prosecutrix was in a very precarious condition. ho the by the Leif TB ent jug wag ery 7ble illy sale tee- )uto L of irue ids. url' DIY seci :LOY the la" ith rel co , - 2s. 6d.1 Share 100 atk 20 20i 10 100 100 100 stock stock stock stook 100 100 4.11
