Horton Bateman wee indicted, together with Wagner and Bramwell, two of the prisoners tried and convicted yesterday, with forging and uttering a cheque for £270, with intent to defraud. The evidence was of a similar nature to that already published. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) THE SACRELIGIOUS OUTRAGE IN MARYLEBONE• John Hughes was indicted for maliciously destroying a picture, a prayer-book, and the sculpture in the parish church of Marylebone, and also with damaging two statues at the Colosseum. Mr. Metcalfe conducted the case for the prosecution. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Evidence having been given as to the destruction of the picture and sculpture in the sacred edifice, A keeper from Hanwell Lunatic Asylum proved that the prisoner, while in that institution, was in the habit of writing on the walls. The writing on the picture he believed be in the prisoner's handwriting. Rubbish and pipe were favourite words with him. Baron Channell (to prisoner)—Do you wish to ask the witness any question ? Prisoner—Yes, my lord—(to witness)—What was the first thing you set me to do when I came to the asylum ? Did you not set me to grind up an axe ? Witness—No. Prisoner—Yes, you did—Gentlemen of the jury the man's not fit to give evidence. Here he puts an axe into the hands of a dangerous lunatic. Why I found him on one occasion pitching into a little fellow at the bottom of a dark staircase. I don't consider him fit to give evidence. His proper place ought to be in confinement in the asylum. lam sure he must be insane. William Mauldon, another keeper at Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, said he was familiar with the prisoner's hand writing. He was in the habit of writing on the walls with a pencil and chalk. He had been to the church and had seen the writing there. He believed it to be the prisoner's. Francis Gonlong, a ward attendant at Hanwell, said the prisoner was confined in his ward for about four months. - He had seen him write on the walls with a lead pencil, and he believed the writing on the picture in court (" The Nativity," by West) to be his. The writing in the prayer book he believed to be also done by him. His writing in the asylum was mostly against pipes and tobacco. Prisoner—Were there not others in the ward as well as I ? Witness—Yes. Prisoner—Osborn used to write a good deal, and little Green used to do the same; and you know it. Witness—Green did not write until he saw you ? Prisoner—Yes, he did ; and you know it. He used to write over the table upon which you cut the dinner up. The walls were smothered with his writing. I suppose you want to creep into favour with the mad doctor, and that's the reason you are here to-day. Margaret Bryant, a pew-opener at Marylebone Church, said—On Sunday, the 20th of March, she saw a person very much like the prisoner in church. She believed him to be the man she had seen on the occasion referred to. Baron Channell—Have you any questions to ask the witness ? Prisoner—No, my lord. My son will tell you the same. We were not in the habit of going to a close church on Sundays. We used to go walking in the parks and fields, so the old woman must labour under a delusion. (Laughter.) -Alfred Davis expressed his strong belief as to having seen the prisoner in church on Sunday, the 20th of March. Baron Channell—Do you ask any question ? Prisoner—No, my lord ; but it is not at all reasonable that if I intended to destroy the pictures I should go and show myself to a lot of old women first. (Laughter.) Ellen Mills, residing in the same house in which the prisoner lived, also spoke to the similarity of the prisoner's handwriting. She had heard him say he would do some thing to make the world talk about him. Ann Mills also said she believed the writing to be the prisoner's. Prisoner—That's my wife. Baron Channell—ls that so ? If it is, you ought not to give evidence. Witness—l have lived with the prisoner for many years. After this intimation the witness quitted the box. Ellen Mills was recalled, and, in answer to a question, said she was positive of the writing on the box. Baron Channell—Do you ask this witness any question ? Prisoner—l don't question old women—(laughter) —but if your lordship had seen that old woman after she had take a glass of whisky, with the poker in one hand and the glass in the other, your lordship would not think she was capable of giving evidence. Another witness, a shopmate of the prisoner, gave evi dence to the effect that he had heard the prisoner say he would destroy pictures and knock down statues. He heard him say that he would knock down the British Museum and pave the streets with such rubbish. Prisoner—Why are you here to speak against me ? Witness—l am only here to speak as to your general conduct. Prisoner—Well, you can't say anything against that; but here's my father, the wife of my bosom, and my son pitted against me, and all to give evidence as to my hand writing. The principal medical gentleman at Hanwell Lunatic Asylum stated that during the prisoner's stay at Hanwell he was very outrageous, and it was only after very great consideration that the prisoner was discharged. The prisoner here very energetically denied the state ments of the surgeon. He said he was much more insane than he was, and that he had better go back to old Ireland, as he was no use there. The prisoner's father gave evidence as to his son's having suffered under a delirium from an injury to his head. Prisoner—My father's a drunken old man. He put me into a lunatic asylum because he thought I was mad, and now he is trying to get me confined for life through his foolish and malicious thoughts. This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner then called his son, a lad of about fourteen years of age, to prove he was not in the habit of going to church. The lad said he and his father usually went walking in the parks on Sundays, but sometimes they went to church of an afternoon. In answer to a question from Mr. Metcalfe, he said he could not say positively that the writing in the prayer book was his father's, but it was something like it. Prisoner (to his son)—You've said quite enough to con vict me; but the writing is as much like yours as mine. Hundreds of merchants' writing is like that in the book. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner guilty, he being at the time insane. Hughes was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, -(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. ALLEGED PERJURY.—Mr. Louis Castrique, described as a merchant of the City of London, was charged upon a summons with wilful and corrupt perjury at a trial heard before Mr. Baron Bramwell, on the 19th of February last, at the Court of Exchequer. The summons was originally appointed to be heard on Wednesday last, but, in consequence of the non-production of the record of the trial giving rise to these proceedings, it was adjourned till this morning at 11 o'clock, to be taken first, so as not to interfere with the other business. , The complainant is a Mr. Twynham, a civil engineer of Woolwich and Fenchurch-street, and the present charge arises out of some cash and cheque transactions, detailed in the evidence as under. Mr. Francis appeared in support of the summons, and Mr. Sawyer, instructed by Mr. Philp, for the defendant. Mr. Francis said, at the request of the other side, all witnesses would leave the court Mr. Sawyer then produced the record giving rise to this case. Mr. Twynham said—l am the complainant in this case. I am a civil engineer, residing at Woolwich, and carry on lyuainess in Fend:arch-street. I knew defendant before October last year. I had business transactions with him through a Mr. Feist. I believe defendant is a bill dis counter, and carries on business in Philpot-lane. I have received cheques from Mr. Feist. I havo discounted his cheques through Bertrand Feist. Alderman—To what extent ? Witness —About £6OO or £7OO. I have received defendant's cheques in business and some I have discounted. They were not post-dated to my knowledge. I generally held them over for a week or ten days. That was by arrangement. On the 6th October the cheque pro duced was brought to me by Feist. It is on Messrs. May and Co., drawn by defendant in favour of No. 41. I re ceived it from Feist. I can't say at what time of the day. I can't remember whether it was the morning or afternoon. I did not notice the date of the cheque. I only looked at the signature. I gave my own cheque (produced) for £lOB to Feist in exchange for that of Castrique's for £llO. He asked me to hold it for six or eight days. Alderman—That's very near 100 per cent. per annum £2 for a week. Witness—l made no charge. Feist said, " I'll give a couple of pounds to do it." It was paid into my bankers. I don't remember when. I believe on the 12th. Plaintiff—lt:was returned dishonoured. The cheque was presented a second time and again returned. The bond put in is of the action subsequently brought. I have seen Feist after this affair. I could not get him as a witness at the trial. I made search for him. I never received any money from Feist. When the cheque was returned I asked him how it was that it had happened. Mr. Sawyer objected to the question. Witness—l have not seen Feist from the time of the tria t o this hour. I was present at the trial at the Guildhall The action was tried on the 19th February. The defendant was sworn and examined as a witness on his ova bead!. lie more that the cheque Iwo post-dated, go old /15 CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY,) evidence that he had received money from Feist (70) on the 6th October in the morning. He said that £7O was no part of the proceeds of my cheque. He said he had given his own cheque to Feist in the afternoon, and received the £7O from him in the morning. That account was pro duced and shown to defenchint, and he admitted it to be in his handwriting. That is an account between Castrique and Feist. He said he had paid £lOO or £lO5 into his banker's on the 6th October. He said the £7O he had re ceived of Feist formed part of the money he paid in. Cross -examined—I brought the action because I had his (defendant's) cheque, and as the principal. Defendant has never had any account with me. I entered the account to Mr. Feist per Castrique. It is entered in my ledger to Mr. Feist per Castrique. I produce my ledger containing a debtor and creditor account with Feist. There is an entry of this cheque in that account. There are entries both before and after that date with Feist. I have had a great many transactions with Mr. Feist. The cheque has Mr. Feist's indorsement on it. The ledger was not produced at the trial. I was cross-examined at the trial about putting this cheque to Feist's account. That wa s the answer I gave to the question. At that time I did say something about Castrique's name being in the account, and offered to produce my cheque-book. I was nonsuited at the trial. I swear to pledge my oath that Castrique said the CO was no part of the proceeds of the cheque. I took no note of the evidence. I speak now from my recol lection. I spoke to my solicitor directly afterwards. lam not a bill discounter as well as civil engineer. Unfor tunately in regard to Feist to a considerable amount I have discounted cheques, but not bills. Re -examined--I treated Feist as an agent. Before the trial I had made no inquiries at two banks. I had made in quiries at Olding's, but not at Saptes'. Saptes' are my bankers. I had not the two gentlemen who were here to-day, but only the cashier from Messrs. Olding's. No one attended from my bankers. The person from Olding's was examined, and upon the amount paid in by Castrique on the 6th October. Ho was not examined as to what the of amount was made up. The defendant was commited for trial but admitted to bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AMOROUS TALLOW CHANDLER—CURIOUS CHARGE. —William Butler, a tallow chandler, residing at 25, Greek street, Soho, was charged with being in the house No. 7, Nassau street, Soho, for an unlawful purpose. From the evidence of Michael Phillips, a waiter, and who, from the nature of his occupation, is frequently out all night, it appeared that on the previous evening, about about six o'clock, he went home, suspecting all was not right, and on knocking at the door several times could not gain admittance ; he therefore resorted to the window, and on opening it to his very great surprise saw the prisoner in the act of buttoning up his clothes. He then gave him into custody; and he wished to state that it was not the first time he had caught him in hisltimse- r -on one oc casion on going home early in the moraine , tick t • erfounfl him in a state of n u dity un d er hi s b e d . • Ile 'lold him toi keep away, but he would not : and his wife encouraged hiiu to visit her. A constable said he had been drinking at the time. Prisoner said he would admit he had been drinking. Mr. Bingham ordered the prisoner to enter into his own recognisances for three months to keep away from the com plainant's house and to be of good behaviour. The wife, who was in court during the hearing of the case, and conduted herself with great levity, here exclaimed " May I speak ?" Mr. Bingham—No. We do not want to hear anything of your affairs. The wife—Where's the child? A person in court (significantly)—Whose child The required recognizance being entered into, the parties [eft the court. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

Nothing farfEer has transpired this morning relative to the fatal accident which occurred yesterday at the West minster Palace Hotel Works at the corner of Victoria street. The whole of the sufferers in the Westminster Hospital are going on most favourably, no deaths having occurred in addition to those mentioned yesterday. The inquest will be opened this afternoon, but it is ex pected to be confined merely to the identification of the bodies, in order that they may be removed and interred by their friends. INDIAN FINANCE. The subjugation of the revolted provinces of Hindostan necessarily caused a heavy drain on the resources of the Indian treasury, and now that the warrior has returned ,his sword to the scabbard it becomes the duty of the statesman to review the condition of his finances. This task the Governor- General has performed, an d proposed some important changes in the revenue system which demand very serious consideration. The statement which he pre sented to the Legislative Council, though mainly applying to the expenditure incurred by the mutiny, embraces the preceding year, at which period the deficiency amounted to 104 lacs of rupees, which arose chiefly from the outlay on public works of utility. With a view to economy this item of disbursement was greatly reduced, orders being issued that no work should be commenced of which the cost would exceed 10,000 rupees, and these restrictions were imposed on all the local govern ments. To this suspension of roads, canals, and bridges, the Court of Directors were decidedly opopsed, and to carry them on with proper activity authorised the Governor General to raise a crore of rupees, or one million sterling, for their vigorous prosecution. This was done ; the suspended enter prises were recommenced and fresh ones under taken ; but the estimate fixed by the Court of Directors, in spite of the most- careful supervision, was exceeded by half a million sterling, and as the treasury could not bear the burden the works were again stopped before completion. By their cessation the public Exchequer was relieved, and a productive harvest scattered the blessings of plenty throughout the whole country, so that by these combinations the financial department recovered strength, and at the end of the year ending in April, 1857, exhibited a prosperous appearance. The balance-sheet shoived that the former deficit had been reduced from 104 lass to 18 lacs, although a large sum had been ab ,sorbed by the Persian war, the result of Lord Pal •merston's turbulent and bellicose policy; and an additional outlay has been incurred by the measures `rendered necessary to secure ourselves in the occu katioikpf Oude, of which we had taken possession. TlVisse two items figured for an aggregate of 22 lacs, ec• that if that outlay had not taken place there could have been an actual surplus of four lacs, or of £4o,ooo—a trifle, it is true, but still on the right side of the account. The mutiny now broke out which will ever mark a grand epoch, both political and financial, in Indian history,`and if the measures recommended by the Governor-General to the Legislative Council are acted upon it will also be memorable as an era in tariffs and taxation. It is right that the public should know under what circumstances the financial changes have been proposed, and also that the Indian Go vernment shout be vindicated against vague charges of extravagant expenditure; and that vindication fully appears in the sudden and alarming difficulties of the crisis, which might have daunted the boldest and embarrassed the most skilful. It appears from the statement of Lord Canning, that sine May, 1857, when the native troops revolted, there had arrived at Calcutta from England 52 recriments of infantry, 9 regiments of cavalry, and 38 companies of artil lery and engineers. Yo keep that army in readiness for the field it was strengthened by reinforcements from Bengal alone of 20,000 men ; 165 transports, mostly of large size, had reached Calcutta, with 5,000 horses, and, in addition, there had been large arrivals from Bombay. It was of course necessary to feed this host, and the commissariat expenditure for the year 1857 exceeded two millions sterling. In 1858 that item was doubled, and for the current year, 1859, Lord Canning says "it would be largely increased." Of munitions of war there had been landed 70,000 stand of arms and 186,000 rounds of shot and shell. It may well be sup posed that the disbursements in each separate branch of the war department to render this mighty armament fully effective and to sustain it during the struggle, must have been on a gigantic scale. There was a general rise in prices, "from an elephant down to a camp kettle, ranging in some cases as high as 300 per cent." The cost of carriage to the north-west provinces rose in 1858 to £lO,OOO per month to Allahabad alone from Cal cutta. The financial state of the country on the 30th of April, 1858, when the mutiny had lasted one year. will be fully appreciated by the single fact that there then appeared a deficiency of 817 lacs of rupees, of which 601 were due to expenditure in India and 216 to expenditure in England. The Governor-General computes the loss of revenue in the year ending 30th April, 1858, at 350 lacs of rupees, the loss of treasure at 130, and the increase of military expenditure at 382 lacs, in all 862 lacs, or in English money, £8,620,000 ; and ex pressed his apprehension that at the end of April, 1859, the deficiency:would amount to 1,300 lacs, or £13,000,000 sterling. It must be understood that Lord Canning made this statement on the 12th of last March, so that it stands clear of the Indian Loan now floating in the London market. From the several items he furnished at the date just men tioned the account would stand thus, partly from what is known, and pa r tly f rom w h a t h o anticipates at the close of the Indian financial year ending 30th April, 1859 : Deficit on 30th April, 1858 Computed deficit on 30th April, 1859 13,000,000 Total This has been met by debentures in England £8,000,000 By loans in India of 1,914 lacs, or 9,140,000 Balance in Indian Treasury, 414 lass of 1857 over 1858, or, £21,280,000 Difference against the Government .... £340,000 The question, then, is how to meet the interest on this war debt out of the Indian revenue ; and this brings us to the new tariff and scheme of taxation proposed by the Governor-General. At present the tariff varies from 31 to 5 per cent. on British, and from sto 7 per cent. on goods of foreign origin. The plan embraces the principle of abolishing all protec tive and differential duties. As a general rule, articles of luxury, not necessaries of life, are to pay 20 per cent. Other articles, not falling under this definition, will bo charged 10 per cent, excepting cotton yarn, which will escape with 5 per cent: Beer, wine, and spirits are to be assimilated to an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. As these three articles do not fall within the consumption of the natives, who have not the means of purchasing them, even if their use were not pro hibited by their religion, this tax will fall exclu sively upon the English residents; but the Governor- General urges that the impost will be li g ht er th an in the colonies. On cotton piece goods the dut will be 10 p p e t he r rec cent. e i n n t c . , r e o a r sTe double hv t h ee r ne import rdp. Generaloduty,rt of t whichthis m w a a r s k o s ni t y ha S t article has been steady, now amounting annually not think t t h o a t t h t re h e e m ex il t l r i a on e s ha s r t g er e li will n m an a d ter h ia e lly li s mit the con sumption ; but those conversant with Indian trade remember that speculative exports to India by our manufacturers have been frequent, entailing heavy losses. This was the case in 1854-55, w h en th e were exc h e e ssi t v h e a , t fo t r he a time checking the t s r h a ip de m ; en a t n s dit may intro duction of pi ece goodsi indicates recent rather laa temporary reaction from a state of lethargy than the assurance of sustained continuity in the demand of the article. However, this is a point only to be decided by expe rience, should the new tariff be enforced. We now turn to the exports. Grain of all kinds is the only article on which an additional duty will be raised, and from this Lord Canning expects a revenue of 201 lacs upon the same amount of exports, without pressure upon any class. The export duty on silk has only yielded 11 lacs; and that on tobacco, which is not of a quality to favour its introduction to foreign markets, the mere nominal stun of 29,394 rupees, so that the two together have only produced £32,939 sterling. This is abandoned as unproductive ; but an internal, or excise tax, will be imposed on the growers of tobacco and the cultivators of silk. The present export and import duties realise £1,040,000, and by the new tariff it is estimated that the amount will be raised to £1,970,000. At a future date, of which notice will be given, the duty on Malwa opium is to be raised, from which an extra sum of £370,000 is expected, without lowering the consumption or affording encouragement to the smuggler. These are among the ways and means for meeting the interest on the war debt, but the experiment has yet to stand the test of time. Such, then, is a narration of Lord Canning's financial policy, on which for the present we abstrain from comment. —Morning Herald. land Were there- A st t . 2 athcoeugretnotfleezatun examiners heldA PonOTTHhEurscAdua37st'hHe HALL.—At the S • - upon admitted licentiates of Society of Apothecaries, names we subjoin passed their examinations viz. :—Messrs.

Mr. Deputy WHITE—My lord, I beg leave to submit the following notice of motion, " That a dutiful and loyal address be presented to her Ma jesty, expressive of the deep regret of this Court at the commencement of hostilities between Austria and France and Sardinia—(" oh, oh")—and its de. tided conviction that the best interests of England will be consulted by the observance of the strictest neutrality consistent with the security and honour of the nation." (Cheers.) I will ask your lordship to appoint an early day for discussing the question. (Rear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON—When it comes on I sballniove the previous question. (Hear, bear.) • Mr. B ARKLY—And I hope the hon. member will withdraw it. (Rear, hear.) The LORD MAYOR—I have seen several members of this Court who are deeply•interested in the dis cussion of this question, and I have told them that if the Court permit me I will appoint Monday next. (Loud cries of " No, no.") THE LORD MAYOR'S COURT. Mr. J. HUDSON, chairman of the Law, Parlia mentary, and City Lands Committee, moved ' the adoption of a report, delivered in at a previous Court, on the nature, duties, and einolumente of the office of R eg i s t r ar of the Mayor's Court, the principal recommendations of the report being con tained in the following paragraph :—" Your com mittee having carefully considered the duties and heavy pecuniary responsibilities attached to the office, are of opinion that it will be greatly to the advantage of the public and suitors of the Mayor's Court that th e d u ti es o f Registrar of the Mayor's Court should be performed by a gentleman Who has had great experience therein, and w e are una nimously of opinion that Mr. Brandon, who now holds the office of registrar pro tenzpore, has had such experience, and that, if he be appointed regis trar, he should receive a salary of X7oo l per annum, to commence from the Ist day of January last, and that he should also receive an increase of £5O per annum so long as he shall hold that office, until his salary shall amount to £l,OOO per annum." Mr. H. L. TAYLOR objected to the proposal for increasing the salary of the registrar £5O _per annum, until it should r eac h £l,OOO, an d moved as an amendment to fix it at £7OO permanently. Mr. PEAD seconded the amendment. - Mr. DE JERSEY said Mr. Brandon received £5OO a year as deputy registrar, and as registrar would have to discharge duties which would be by no means overpaid by £l,OOO a year, and would be poorly paid until his salary reached that amount. (Hear.) He would have to discharge the duties ota Master in Chancery and a Master in Common Law, and masters in chancery used to receive £2,000 a year. After some discussion, the question was put from the chair to a show of hands, when the amendm e nt was declared to be carried—a decision which wit§ affirmed on a division by 63 to 50—majoritY, 13. The amendment was then put as a substantive motion and agreed to. THE OLD BAILEY SESSIONS HOUSE, Mr. Deputy 'WHITE brought up a report from the City Lands Committee, recommending the exe cution of certain works at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, at the expense of about £B,OOO. The report was ordered to be printed (without being read) and its discussion adjourned. NEW POLICE RATE. Some weeks ago a report was brought up from the Police Committee, recommending the levying of a' rate of sd. in the pound for the three-quarters of the year terminating at Christmas next, to which recommendation objection was taken that the com mittee had in hand a large sum which they had accumulated for the purpose of building new police stations, which were not required, and that the money so accumulated ought to be taken into account as an available balance in levying the new rate; the report was upon thi s groun d re f erre d back to the committee for re-consideration, and an amended report was now presented stating that in deference to the wish of the court the committee had given instructions to sell out £15,000 of the reserved fund for building police stations, and recom mending that the rate, instead of being 5d., should be reduced to 3d. for the three quarters, making sd. in the pound for the entire year. The report was unanimously agreed to. THE BAILIEWICK OF SOUTHWARK. The court then proceeded to the election of a high bailiff for the borough of Southwark, the office being vacant by the death of Mr. D. W. Pritchard. There were only two candidates, viz., Mr. W. Gresham, solicitor, and Mr. B. W. Jones, also a solicitor, of 15, Old Jewry-chambers, of whom the former was chosen by the court. The court then adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE'.
