Mr. Otway said---Last night about 12 o'clock, I was in Langham-place, in company with Mr. Wolff on our way to the Admiralty, where I was going to sleep. We were waiting for a cab, my friend having my valise and an umbrella in his hand, when the soldier came up to me and caught hold of me, and asked me to give him a pot of beer. I had one hand engaged, and with the other pushed the soldier away, saying " Be off with you," on which he said, " If you don't give me a shilling I'll stick to you the whole evening." I saw the drift of the fellow's remark, and was determined to give him into custody, and said to my friend in French, " Let him come on with us till we get a policeman." The soldier then caught hold of my friend in a similar manner, and threw himself upon him, saying " Give me some beer." My friend told him to be off, and pushed him away as well as he could, when the prisoner said, " I'll cut you d own, " and struck my friend over the shoulder with a stick. He then seized my friend's umbrella and money bag which my friend was carrying for me. At this moment I saw a policeman coming, having got nearly as far as Conduit -street. I can the constable and told him to take the prisoner in charge, when he made off, but was caught by a constable near Burlington Arcade, several persons having taken part in the pursuit. Mr. Henry Drummond Wolff confirmed Mr. Otway in every respect. Mackney, 313 A, proved stopping prisoner with the um brella and bag in his possession. On being searched at the station a pocket handkerchief, the property of Wolff, was found in his possession, and a purse and some rings. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a considerable importance to the public. The prisoner, a soldier, followed the gentlemen about, after demanding money of them, and then robbed them, and he had done more, for he was found afterwards to have picked the gentleman's pocket of his handkerchief, whioh was not at first missed. It was quite necessary that the public should be protected against fellows of the pri soner's description. It was stated by Sergeant Stephens that a gentleman called at the station and said he had seen a soldier hustling a foreigner near Hanover-square a short time previous to this affair. a • Committed for trial. OMNIBUS TRAFFIC AND THE EXHIBITION.— Henry Saunders, conductor of omnibus 7303, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of Inspector Coombe, D divi-ion, for unlawfully stopping his omnibus within the circumference of the Regent-circus, contrary to the regula tions made by the Commissioners of Police to prevent ob structions in the said place of public resort. It appears that in consequence of numerous complaints from persons of their inability to cross Oxford-street, near the Circus, owing to the stopping of omnibuses on the cross • ing, and with a view to facilitate the increased traffic during the Exhibition, the Commissioners of Police have lately issued a notice, of which the following is a copy :—Police Regulations to Prevent Obstructions in Regent-circus. In order to prevent obstructions by metropolitan stage car riage, stopping to take up and set down passengers at the Regent-circus, Oxford-street, notice is hereby given that no stage carriage shall stop within the circumference of the Circus, nor within seven yards of the lamp-posts at the crossings on the east and west sides of the circus." Inspector CJombs said that in addition to a copy of the notice being sent to each omnibus proprietor, the printed notice was conspicuously posted in the Circus, so that every conductor and driver might be aware of it. A constable was also placed there to warn the men, but notwithstanding there had been several infringements of the regulations, and some of the men seemed determined to set the authori Mr. Tyrwhitt said he wished it to be publicly made known that the regulations would be enforced. The Commis sioners of Police had very properly made the regulations, and he should take care to have them carried out, for if not, as it got near the time of the International Exhibition, if the omnibuses were allowed to stop within the Circus, the thoroughfares of London would not be passable. The de fendant was then fined ss. and costs. Eastern of France Grand Rue 7uar. 6 p. c. Gt. Luxem., Con. shs... Italian Junction Lyons et Geneva Namur /fc Liege Do. 6 p. a Pref. ........

EXTRAORDINARY OIITRAGE.—A gentlemanly and grave looking man, named Robert Stewart Riley, described as a merchant, of No. 25, Albert-square, Commercial-road, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being concerned with three other men not in custody, in wilfully and mali ciously breaking two panes of glass, a jug, two tumbler glasses, and a window blind, the property of Mr. Thomas Harrill, coal merchant, of No. 41, Bromley-street, Stepney. Last night about 12 o'clock a police-constable named William Carter, No. 78 K, was passing along High-street, Stepney; he saw the prisoner and three other men skylark ing and pushing each other about. The prisoner carried a beer can, and said, " Now, let us go to the old fellow and break his b—y windows for him." The constable rightly suspecting that something wrong was intended, followed the party, and on reaching Bromley -street heard a smashing of glass, followed by a shout and a laugh. The prisoner and his companions all rful away. Carter gave chase, and captured the prisoner The others escaped. Mr. Harrill said he knew the prisoner, who was the son of the late Mr. Riley, a shipowner. He never had any quarrel with the prisoner, or gave him any offence. Last night a beer can was thrown at his parlour window. It went through a pane of glass, and broke everything on the table. It was followed by a large flint stone (produced), which glided by his head. The window blind was also damaged and torn. The prisoner made a long defence, in effect that he was intoxicated and threw the beer can at the assistant out of a lark. He did not throw the stone. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had disgraced himself, and he was surprised that a man calling himself a merchant should have acted as he had done. He fined the prisoner 405., which was instantly paid. MARKETS---THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was much restricted, yet the trade, owing, in some measure, to the bad condition of the samples, was in a sluggish state at about Monday's currency. Very few dry parcels, how euer, were left unsold at the close of business. For good and fine foreign wheats there was a fair demand, and prices were steadily supported. Inferior descriptions, however, moved off slowly on former terms. The market was well supplied. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request a' late rates. Malting barley fully supported Monday's quotations, bu grinding and distilling sorts were a dull inquiry. Malt, of good and fine quality, was firm as to price. In. ferior parcels commanded but little attention. The oat trale was far from active ; nevertheless good and fine corn realised previous currencies. Although the supplies of beans were very moderate both articles met a slow sale, yet no change took place in their value. Barrel flour moved off slowly at late rates ; but in other kinds a limited business was transacted at Monday's prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Halt. Oats.

PANCRAS. Yesterday the parish of St. Pancras was thrown into a state of some excitement by the publication of placards stating that the authorities had beer. holding a hole-and-corner meetin g for the purpose of obtaining sanction to the sale of certain land at Finchley, which had been purchased by the direc tors of the poor for the purpose of building thereon industrial training schools. The official meeting was convened for 11 o'clock yesterday morning, at St. Pancras Vestry-hall, the only notice being by a bill, printed in very small type, being placed on the church doors ; and as scarcely any one knew anything about it there were only some few officials, the rate collectors, and about 12 or 14 persons, chiefly vestrymen, present. Mr. Churchwarden Stockton having been called to the chair, Mr. Roas, Mr. Farniss, and Mr. Nodes protested against the proceedings, and Mr. FURNISS moved and Mr. NODES seconded the adjournment of the meeting sine die. This the CHAIRMAN, acting upon the legal advice of Mr. Cooper, the parish solicitor, refused to put. Mr. COOPER said they had met for a definite pur pose, either to ccnsent or not consent to the sale of this land; and to meet the views of the opponents of the sale he moved " That the meeting of rate payers do not consent to such sale." (Oh, oh, and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN having positively refused to re ceive the resolution for adjournment, Mr. FLATHER moved a resolution approving of the sale of the land, which was seconded by Mr. J. A. FISHER. Mr. Ross and Mr. NODES denounced these pro ceedings as being most unjust to the ratepayers, and looking very much like as if the authorities were ashamed of their proceedings. At the conclusion of the discussion the votes were taken, plurality of voting being adopted. After waiting half an hour it was announced that the number of votes recorded in favour of the sale was 21—agairact it, 18. A poll was then demanded, and appointed to take place this morning (Friday) from ten till four o'clock, in order to give the ratepa) ers an opportunity, so far as publicity can be given, to express their opinion. During the afternoon placards were circulated to the following effect : " St. Pancras, Middlesex.—Hole and Corner Meeting.—Ratepayers,—The authorities have held, this morning, a hole and corner meeting to deter mine the sale of your land at Finchley; and although plurality of voting was adopted, the friends of the ratepayers present succeeded in defeating the pro ject and obtaining a poll, and which is appointed to take place to. morrow morning (this day) Friday, April 11. from ten tilt four, at St. Pancras Vestry hall, St. Pancras-road.—Attend a public meeting of the ratepayers, to be held this evening at the Vic toria Tavern, Mornington-road, at eight o'clock pre cisely; also attend at ten o'clock to-morrow morning at the vestry-hall, and vote against the sale." A public meeting of the ratepayers was held last night, in pursuance of the foregoing announcement. at the V:ctoria Tavern, Mornington-road. Mi. R. FURNISS was called to the chair, and ex plained the objccts of the meeting, and produced th, copy of the notice by vv Lich the authorities bad con vetted the morning meeting, and complained that it was such a one as was calculated to obtain the as semblage of as small a body of ratepayers as possible. Mr, BRUCE, a member of the vestry, as a supporter of the schools, considered that this land ought to be maintained, and moved the following resolution: —" That this meeting, hearing it is the intention of the parochial authorities to early, if possible, a pro position for the sale of the land, and believing the sale of such land to be injurious to the best interests of the ratepayers, hereby resolve to attend at the vestry-hall to-morrow (Friday), and vote against such proposal of sale." Mr. ROBSON seconded the resolution, and said as a vestryman and director of the poor, he had been in favour of having their own schools, and if there was one thing more than another which showed that he was right, it was the fearful reports which had come to the directors as to the state of the children at Hanwell Schools. Out of 1,200 children, there were 450 in the hospital. (Great sensation.) Ophthalmia was dreadfully prevalent, and three of their own children had lost their sight entirely, and several had lost one of their eyes., Mr. North, Mr. Timpson, Capt. Cameron, Mr. Nodes, and Mr. Ingold addressed the meeting in denunciation of the proceedings of the authorities, and the resolution was carried unanimously. Arrangements having been made to secure a ma jority of the votes against the sale of the land, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meet ing separated. 95} 0 Sharel stlr 1 20i 10 - 100 { Divi , * Fl made 104 n 41 211$ 122 / f 100 15 all 100 al I m 'OCKS. !parate Year. all all all all i .RES Profits rear not to be half year. IS DAY. r CRIMINAL COURT--T OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) Henry Joseph Walker, aged 21, a private in the Royal Artillery, was indicted for a rape on a young girl, aged 15. There was also a second indictment against him for steal ing 10s. from her person, The case rested entirely upon the credibility of the pro secutrix, who deposed that on the evening of the 4th of March, about half-p%st eight in the evening, she was pro ceeding on her way from Greenwich to Woolwich when she met the prisoner and another soldier named Jonathan Leather. She walked, with them to Woolwich, as they offered to show her the way over the common, and on their arrival at the stables of the camp, at Woolwich Common, the prisoner and the other man asked her to enter the stables, and on her refusing they dragged her in, and they eaoh committed the offence charged, the prisoner taking from her 10s. and 214. She resisted as much as she could, and she was so far corroborated that one of the sentries heard cries of " help" and " murder," and also that at half-past eleven at night both men were found absent, and on another sentry going to the stables he found the prosecutris lying on some straw. She com plained first of the loss of her money, but afterwards of ill usage. She went to the Shooters-hill Police-station, and in consequence of her information the man Leather was taken into custody. The prosecutrix gave a very unsatisfactory account of how she obtained the money, whic'l she said she carried in a paper bag with some biscuits, and which was the remains of the proceeds of a cheque, of which she refused to tell how she became possessed. The learned judge here summed up the case, remarking upon the unsatisfactory statement the prosecutrix had given of herself. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty with intent. Jonathan Leathers, aged 19, a private in the Royal Artil lery, was indicted for a simil ar o ff ence. The jury returned a verdi c t o f not gu il ty, and at the same time one of them expressed re gre t th a t b ot h pr i soners had n as it would greatly h ave ass i s t e d themot hb The Learned i ne the r i performance together,of thei r d u ty. Tsaid that cou ld no t h ave b een done, as they were for two distant offences. If, however, the jury wished to make any re commendation in the former case, as he had not yet sentenced the prisoner, he was quite ready to give effect to it; at the same time he must observe that the former case was different from that they had just concluded, as the prosecutrix's statement had been con firmed by the sentry. The jury however made no recommendation. The prisoner Walker was then called up for sentence. The learned Judge said, under all the circumstances of the case, he thought that justice would be satisfied in passing a very lenient sentence. lie therefore ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) A NEST OF ILOUSEBREAICERS. William Farrow, James Parsons, John Fellows, William Grant, and Thomas Henderson, were indicted for burglary. The evidence was not conclusive by the jury, and a verdict of not guilty was returned. The whole of the prisoners were again indicted for being found at night without lawful - excuse, in possession of cer tain housebreaking implements with intent to commit a felony. gstang about Holywell ces that became From the ev id ence o f a number o f police-constables, it a s t p r p e e e a t: e Shore h t o h r a e t di the tch p , r a i n - o d n efrrso from were c h u azi n known, they proceeded to a house in George street, Heaton, and a wholesale stock of housebreaking implements were discovered corresponding with a number found on the per sons of the different prisoners. The jury touad all the prisoners guilty, Previous convictions were proved against Farrow, Fellows, and Parsons. The "tools" were then handed Up to the bench, for the inspection of the learned Recorder and the aldermen on the bench. The Recorder said he had no doubt about the system the prisoners had been carrying on, and he very much regretted the conviction had not been for the felony instead of the misdemeanour, because then he would have sentenced them to a punishment commensurate with their deserts. As, however, three of them had been previously convicted, he should make a difference as regarded them. The learned judge then sentenced Farrow, Parsons, and Fellows, to three years' penal servitude, Grant to eighteen months, and Henderson to twelve months' imprisonment. After the prisoner had left the dock, Mr. Orridge called the attention of the Recorder to what was called a " Life preserver," as being a most frightful instrument. It dif fered very materially from the instruments hitherto used by desperadoes, by having four projecting iron points fixed to the leaden head.

Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, opened an inquiry at the King's Arms Tavern, Charles-street, City road, St. Luke's, to investigate the cause of death of Mr. John George:Webb, aged 42 years , the chief clerk to F. Webb, Esq., th e co nveyancer, &c., of No. 31, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane. Emma. Webb, the sister-in-law, said that the deceased was a married man, and his wife was too clerk, and always enjoyed good health ill to attend the inquiry. Deceased was an attor ney'suntil Monday week last, when deceased returned home from his place of business in Southamp ton-buildings, and said that he had met with an accident while attempting to light his tobacco pipe. He told her that he had b een sitting before the fire, and while in the act of stooping to reach a light the long straw pipe which h e was smoking touched the front of the stove-work an d f orced one end be : a into m e h worseis tongue and called in a and caused hims much pain.

He had been several years in hi s s i tuat i on, and was a s t ea dy man.

The deceased had no doubt died from gangrene of the tongue produced through the puncture and injury by t h e tobacco pipe. The jury returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased died from mortification of the tongue, caused by a puncture through the breaking of a pipe accidentally and by misadventure." AN EG 1 PTIAN DINNER. On entering the room where we were to dine, we were placed on chairs at the cotton-ccvered table, and at the same time an immense tray was brought in and laid on it. In the centre was a huge turkey, dressed plain, though it looked too sodden to be roasted, and around were arranged little dishes of pickles, salt, sugar, and other condiments. We had dates, and were, moreover, favoured with knives and forks: respecting the necessity of which my friend had overheard a murmured conversation while we had been in the bride's room. All the spoons were of tortoiseshell or ivory, with rather flat bowls; and we had each a large napkin, worked at the ends with gold, and a small one more like an embroidered pocket - handkerchief. There was also Turkish bread—a sort of flat, soft, tough Toll, cut into morsels, but not separated. Having taken our plates before us, a slave grasped the wing -bone of the turkey, nicked the joint very neatly with a knife, took a wing, and then with her fingers tear ing off long strips of the breast, put them on our plates. As we held it wise to follow as far as might be at Rome the customs of the Romans, we ate, and instantly another dish took the turkey's place, and then another, and then another, ad infinitum, with the most extraordinary rapidity. What the dishes were, or of what they consisted, it was impossible to say ; and no order was observed as to the succes sion of meat and s weet dishes, the one replacing the other apparently at hazard. A tempting-looking white dish, we are told, was m a d e of chicen, but on tasting it, it proved to be sweet and very sickly. It appeared to be considered a peculiar delicacy, and was composed of the white meat of chicken cut up very small, brayed in a mortar, and then mixed up with a variety of other ingredients, sweetened and perfumed. One or two dishes were rather good, but as, from their number and rapid suc cession, we could barely taste them (of some, indeed, we only took morsels on our plates, which we pre tended to take for courtesy's sake), we carried away a highly confused idea of the component parts of the feast. At last, to our great relief, dessert, and a huge glass bowl, not unlike a globe for gold fish but more open at the top, were brought in, and we were invited to drink. As neither glass, nor cup, nor any other convenience for drinking was supplied, we felt puzzled how to accede to the invitation, until large ivory and tor toiseshell spoons or ladles being produced, we were Instructed to dip these into the bowl. This we did, and found the drink, which was clear and almost colourless, a sweet mawkish perfumed compound, in which were floating small slices of banana, and little stoneless raisins, cv dried cherries. A very few sips were enough. We wound up with some morsels of apple, which the slave who chiefly served us had peeled and cut into little bits.— I Dickens's "All the fear _Round!' THE HEAVY RAIN FALLS.—Yester day morning owing to the heavy and continued fall of rain during seve ral hours, the various low-lying parts of the metropolis and suburbs became flooded to such an extent as to cause alarm and destroy property.
