THE NAVY. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Jackson, at.• rived at Portsmouth yesterday, from Devonport, with the detachment of Marine Artillery on board who have returned to England in her Majesty's ship Sanspareil from the Mexican expedition. The detachment landed from the Geyser at the dockyard, and proceeded to head-quarters. The Banshee, 2, paddle, Commander Madden, ar rived at Spithead yesterday morning, from the Mediterranean, with dates from Malta of the 28th of April ; Algiers, 30th ; Gibraltar, May 3d ; and Lisbon, 16th. Fiue weather was experienced until the vessel was off Lisbon, when she encountered a violent gale, which detained her five days in the Tagus. The passage home has been made with one boiler, with which, during favourable weather, a speed of nine knots was averaged. Commander Wilson, R.N., from her Majesty's ship Marlborough, on promotion ; Capt. Hall, 6th Foot ; Capt. Moor som, 100th Foot ; and Lieut. Napier, 23d Foot, have come home passengers by the ship. The' Banshee received orders to proceed round to Wool wich to pay out of commission. She sailed from Spithead last evening. The Armstrong armament for the screw line-of battle ship Frederick William, in the first-class reserve at Portsmouth, was received on board yes terday. It comprises two 100-pounder, eight 40- pounders, two 20-pounders, and one 12-pounder. The Black Prince, iron frigate, fitting for com mission at Portsmouth, is ordered to receive, as the heavy portion of her Armstrong armament, 14100- pounders and four 70 pounders. In addition to these she will carry a number of lighter Armstrongs, besides her 95cwt. 68-pounders for her main deck. Private letters received from Cherbourg, from an English gentleman well qualified to give an opinion upon such matters, state that the plated frigate Couronne, now lying in Cherbourg basin, has in her recent trials proved a decided success in every way. She is 250 feet long on her gun deck, carries 32 guns on her main deck, steams 14 knots, and has proved herself to be an excellent sea boat. The Conronne's frame is of iron, coated with wood, on which rest the armour plates. She was placed on the stocks in September, 1858, at Lorient. She is coated with armour from end to end, and her engines are of 900 horse power nominal. _ _ _ His Prussian Majesty's transport ship Elbe, Capt. Werner, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday from Siam, having been occupied for two years in an ex perimental cruise in the Eastern seas, from which she is now returning. She has on board a large collection of objects of natural history. The following appointments were made on Mon day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Henry F. Stephen son, from the Emerald to the Cormorant ; Lieut. W. H. M. Molyneux, to the Emerald ; Lieut. Har court T. Gammell, to the Dauntless ; Lieut. T. M. M. Wynyard, to the Blenheim ; H. J. Wemyss, confirmed as chief engineer ; W. Smiley, promoted to acting chief engineer in the Wrangler; R. Phil lips, confirmed as second-class assist.-engineer in the Bacchante ; and Sidney Smith, master's-assist., to the Galatea. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lient. Charles E. S.Woodman, to the Cormorant; Thomas S. Gissing, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for the Fancy; Charles F. Gregory, second-class assist.-engineer, to the Indus, for the Princess Alice. THE A R3l Y. A Royal warrant, dated the 26th of April, 1861, has been issued by command of her Majesty, in - which the rules and regulations under which field allowance is granted to officers of the general, gar rison, and departmental staff are revised, and the provisions contained in pages from 81 to 87 of the Royal warrant of the Ist of July, 1848, cancelled. The field allowances are intended to provide officers with the means of defraying the expenses to which they may be subject by being placed under canvas, or in taking or preparing for the field. The allow ances are classed under two heads, ordinary and extraordinary, and are to be granted with the strictest reference to the nature of the service, or to the preparation for it which the emergency may require. The ordinary field allowances are applica ble to the encampment, under canvas, of troops in the United Kingdom or in the colonies. Extra ordinary field allowances are sanctioned in eases when and wherever troops are engaged in mili tary operations in the field, in time of war, dis turbance, or insurrection, whether actual or appre hended. None but officers actually present and serving with or in immediate connection with the troops, and not being in occupation of public quar ters, nor in receipt of lodging-money, shall be en titled to receive field allowance. Extraordinary allowance will be issued three months in advance,com mencing from the date of the order to take the field. In cases, however, where military operations are likely to be of longer duration, a double issue of the extraordinary allowance, amounting to six months' in the whole, may be sanctioned by the General officer on a foreign station. An officer serving with any field force who has received an advance of field allowances, and who shall succeed to a higher ap pointment, or a Staff appointment, will, if he con tinue to serve with the same force, be entitled to receive the difference between his old and new rates of allowance from the date of the general order notifying such appointment or promotion. Officers in receipt of field allowance who may quit the force with which they are serving in consequence of ill health or wounds, or by reason of being ordered elsewhere, will not be liable to refund any portion of it to the public. In cases, however, where offi cers leave the force for their own convenience, they will only retain a portion of the allowance to the date of leaving. Captains with brevet rank are not to receive field allowance unless they are direc ted by general orders to perform field officers' duty, but a captain succeeding to the command of a regi ment, or directed by general order to perform field- officer's duties therewith, will receive the allowance. Officers commanding companies will be entitled to the allowance of a captain. Under no circumstances will an officer be permitted to receive more than one rate of field allowance. The 17th company of Royal Engineers, which has been placed under orders to proceed from Chat ham to the Cnrragh Camp, was inspected on the general parade-ground at Chatham Barracks yes terday by Major-General R. Eyre, commanding the district. The necessary transfers f rom th e depot companies to the 17th has taken place, and to itg p rnppr strength, the enmpany raised The departure of the 17th company for the Cerragh will take place to-morrow. Intelligence was yesterday received at Chatham garrison of the arrival at Gravesend of the troop. ship King Lear, Capt. Croudace, from Bombay, with the headquarters and service companies of the 83d Regiment on board. The 83d proceeds to Dover, where the regiment is to be quartered. The depot of the regiment remains at Chatham until further orders. Orders were yesterday received by Col. Leman, C. ft, commandant of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, for detachments of non-commissioned offi cers and men of the Royal Marines and Royal Ma rine Artillery to embark to-day on board the Cor morant, 4, and Racehorse, 4, screw steamers, both commissioned for service in China. vV .... Yesterday the entire division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, numbering 1,000 bayonets, marched to Chatham lines, under the command of Colonel L man, C. 13., and, having been formed into two bat talions, were put through a variety of brigade and other movements, which occupied about t wo hours. i 'There are now 1,200 non-commissioned officers I nd .n (forming the third division Royal Artil- I ty) at Wurley barracks, near Brentwood. T he "If -yearly rev i ew by Major-Gen. Sir R. I )acres has just taken place, and passed off satisfactorily. Gen. Th eres,•after e uncnting the men on their satis factory appearanceil) n and discipline, intimated that would many of the m be required f o r s erv i ce i n India the and the co;oni es in course of the summer. of The headquarters ,the 49th Foot, under the command of Col. wards, c•l3. left Portsmouth yesterday by special train for _ detachme n t of the Manchester, via Read ing and Wolverhampton. Ps regiment, consisting of 6 officers and 170 men, left P or t sm outh at 6 a.m. for Weedon. The outlying detachments of the regiment at Portsmouth and, Weymouth left the latter place at 6 p.m. yesterday, to join the headquarters at Manchester. The 53d Foot, under the command of Col. English, arrived at Portsmouth lust evening from Aldershot, and marched into quarters in the Cum )ridge bar racks, vacated by the 49th Foot. The 24th Fcot, quartered at Gosp t, will move over into quarters at Portsmouth to-morrow. The 2d battalion 18th Regiment, stationed at Portsmouth, is expected to embark for the Channel Islands to-morrow or Friday. Lieut. Boyle, 3 bombardiers, and 56 drivers of the horse brigade, Royal Artillery, disembarked at Ports mouth yesterday from her Majesty's troopship Ad venture, which vessel had brought them round to Portsmouth from Kingstown, and proceeded by rail to Woolwich. THE INTERNATIONAL FXIIIBITION. The financial prospects of the Exhibition are de cidedly mending, for not only was the building more crowded yesterday than on any day since the opening, but the proportion of payments at the doors showed a still greater increase. The total number of visitors up to 5 o'clock was 16,722, of whom 11,529 paid their half-crowns for admission, and 5,193 were season-ticket holders. It is to be hoped that these first signs of' the tide of prosperity will determine the Commissioners to push forward with extra speed what yet remains to be done to give the last finishing touch to the building, and that we may be able soon finally to announce that the Exhibition is complete. Within the last two three days there is a perceptible relief in the pres sure round the jewelry, glass, porcelain, and other attractive objects in the neighbourhood of the nave; and visitors, no longer driven away by the deafen ing noise of carpenters' hammers and the manifold perils from empty packing-cases and loose timbers of all sorts, find their way now freely into courts which have hitherto been unknown lands. In pass ing, we may say here that, as soon as the last pack ing -case is absolutely disposed of, the Commis sioners ought to have the flooring of the building, from one end to the other, thoroughly looked to. It is but roughly fitted everywhere, but in many parts it has been broken through, and visitors have to be very cautious in walking lest they catch their feet in a hole, which may either detain them pri soners or let them through altogether. Two er three severe accidents have already occurred from this cause, and the risk of others is sure to go on in creasing, unless the defective and unsound board ings be replaced at once. The Colonial Courts have benefitted as much as any portion of the building by the spirit of discovery which now seems to animate the visitors, and there is a constant stream flowing through them all day long. The display here has but little of that glittering splendour or artistic beauty which challenges admiration in other quarters, but the very complete illustration it affords of the varied products and manufactures of our colonial empire is full of solid interest, and can hardly be I thoroughly appreciated without careful examina tion and even serious study. The colonial govern ments appear, for the most part, to have been at great pains to be well represented, and the result is a comprehensive and admirably-arranged collection. The North American colonies melee a very good show, though it requires some special knowledge or tastes fully to enter into the merits of many of the contributions. The Canadian timber trophy every body, of course, has seen, and, from a timber point of view, no doubt, it is exceedingly fine in its (le tails. In smaller blocks we have here examples of the beautiful polish which many of the North American woods will take, and of the part they may be made to play in decorative furniture. Nova Scotia, in particular, exhibits a very handsome piano of native woods. The geologist will find a long day's work in the Canadian court alone, and some of the beautiful marbles contributed by the Geological Survey of Canada cannot fail to attract the admiration of the most ordinary observer. There is an ample collection of all kinds of Cana dian grains, on the qualities of which we cannot now stop to dwell, and of agricultural implements, among which we may mention one which does the work of plough, drill, and harrow at one operation. It combines lightness and strength, and seems by no means difficult to manage. A case of plumbago, or graphite, in this court may, perhaps, attract more attention from the very prominent position in the nave which the Russians have just given to some samples of the same material recently discovered in Siberia. The specimens of Indian work exhibited in the New Brunswick court aro more curious than beautiful ; but the bear skins and other furs shown here and in the neighbouring collection from Prince Edward's Island are very handsome. Almost the only jewels from this portion of the world are in a case shown by Nova Scotia, the chief attraction of which is that both jewels and the gold setting were found in the province. The greater part of the arti cles from Ceylon have not yet arrived, but there are shown some good specimens of carved furniture in ebony and sandal wood. A case of exquisite silver filigree from Malta catches every eye ; and close by the Maltese lace, which is very well displayed, is sure to have many admirers. In all these colonies, and in Jamaica, Dominica, the Mauritius, and other colonies in the same neighbourhood, there are very full collections of the natural products, and the wax models of the fruits of Guiana are particularly suc culent and attractive in appearance. A model of the sleeping cars in use on the Great Western Rail way, shown in the Canadian court, is worth looking at as a sort of example of how comfortable railway travelling can be made if directors are only willing to learn. Crossing aver to the Australian colonies, the first object which will attract attention is a case containing specimens of nuggets, large and small, picked up at the diggings. The largest weighs some 80oz., and is valued at £350. Lady Young exhibits two small figures of an emeu and a kangaroo in Australia, but though they are said to be de signed by a pupil of Thorwalsden —Mr. T. Hogarth —they have little to recommend them but their intrinsic value. In softness and fineness of tex ture the woollen goods manufactured in this country from Australian wools are not to be sur any in the building. Of th e N ew S outh passed by Wales minerals there are very numerous specimens, and the copper in particular seems of remarkably fine quality. Sir William A. Macarthur and others contribute samples of all varieties of wood, and there is a stand of New South Wales h erm i tage, Madeira, amontillado, claret, and other wines grown in the colony. Pianos or organs were going all the afternoon in different parts, and round each there was a considerable crowd, showing how generally the ready adoption of the suggestion we threw out on this point has been appreciated. It will be a very happy consummation when the organs are all finished, for the process of tuning, whichhlftm)r:nost of them are undergoing just now, is excruciating to persons of sensitive nerve?. We are d that there are several excellent instru ments of Swiss manufacture in some gallery up stairs; b u t no one seems to have come across them , yet. Wh y which a ld they not be brought down to dis place that extraordinary collection of stoves and stove pipes h Swiss court below? wp; If it esent almost bars access into the S • were not for the piping I bullfinch scarcely anybodyugit inw o t u h l e d r e force r it st there into this department, t are some wonderful specimens of watchmaking. The Genovese makers are now emulating with con siderable success th e fi n i s h and solidity-of English workmanship. Messrs. Bs.unie and Lezard exhibit here a pocket chronometer, tl,e performances of which,;tested by the chief astronomer of Geneva, are said to be equal to the best English chronometers. The same firm exhibit hour, quarter, and minute repeaters, some exquisite ladies' watches, enamelled with diamonds, and close by a case of silver watches of wonderful cheapness. Messrs. Aubert have just added to their show several fine specimens of the roseate amethyst—the new stone not long since dis covered, and in Denmark we have to mention the arrival of a very beautiful suite of diamonds, the setting of which is little inferior to the work of the best London or Paris jewellers. The machinery department has every day a large share of visitors, and we are glad to hear that it is intended to in crease the steam power, which, as we mentioned a few days ago, is at present utterly inadequate to display the full effect of some of the finest engines here. SUN. RAILWAY IMELLIG_ENCE, GREAT NORTHEUN. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the King's-cross station, to consider certain Bills now before Parliament, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords, Mr. E. Denison in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, two Bills were approved—namely, a Bill for the incorporation of a company to construct a railway from Bourn to Spalding, authorising agreements with the Great Northern Company as to the working of traffic on the proposed line, and for the division and appor tionment of the receipts arising therefrom ; and also a bill for making a railway from the Great Northern Railway at Hatfield to the London and North• Western Railway at St. Alban's, for enabling the traffic of the two companies to be exchanged at the latter place, and authorising the Great Northern to subscribe £20,000, and to appoint two directors. The meeting was then adjourned to the 10th of June for the consideration of other bills. CAPE TOWN. It is proposed to extend this company's authorised line from its terminus at Wellington to Worcester and Tullbagh. The capital required for the con struction of the extension line is estimated at £600,000; and on a guarantee being obtained from the Colonial Government upon the requisite capital it is intended to 'add the nominal amount of it to the existing capital of the company, but at same time to keep the capital for the extension and its receipts and expenditure separc.to and distinct from those of the original line. 1 FIE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN COLNSHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, ttzc., from January 1 to May 11, 1862, amounted to £lll,lBO, as against £121,450 for the corresponding period of 1861. The total receipts including rents, &c., of this com pany's canals from January 1 to April 30 amounted to £22,314, as against £22,022 for the correspond ing period of 1861 ; and the expenses to £16,201, as against £18,126, leaving a balance of net profit of £6,023, as against £4,796 for the corresponding period of 1861. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday, after twenty days' sitting, the com mittee over which Mr. Puller presides passed the bill of the West Riding, Hull, and Grimsby Railway Company, subject to the insertion of clauses giving running powers over the Wake field, Leeds, and Halifax line, and for the use of the Leeds Central and Bradford and Halifax stations. They were not prepared to concede clauses giving the new company running powers between Bow ling-green and Halifax, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, but only such running powers to the Great Northern between Doncaster and Wakefield and on the branch that adjoins the Lancashire and Yorkshire, near Oakenshaw. The other clauses are to be considered to-day. In Lord Stanley's Com mittee on the Wellington and Cheshire Railway, and the Wellington, Drayton, and Newcastle com peting line, the Committee passed so much of the preamble of the first bill as relates to the line be tween Wellington and Market Drayton, and so much of the preamble of the second bill as relates to the line between Market Drayton and Silver dale, thus dividing the route between them, but ignoring the remaining portions of their projects. The case of the Llanidloes and Newtown, Mid- Wales, and Manchester and Milford Railways, for a new line for Llanidloes, uniting with the Mid- Wales and Manchester and Milford, with a joint station for the three companies at Llanidloes, and to raise £33,000, was opened by Mr. Merewether and Mr. Davidson. After hearing evidence, and Mr. Wordsworth, Q.C., for the West Midland and Colonel Farmer, the bill was agreed to, and the clauses settled. Further evidence in favour of the Bristol and Clifton Railway occupied Mr. Adair's Committee. The opposition of the Caledonian Railway to the proposed amalgamation of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and West of Fife railways with the North British is now under con • sideration. The bills of the Horsham, Dorking, and Leatherhead Railway, Hereford, Hay, and Brecon, and Burton-on• Trent railways were passed in Mr. Massey's Committee; and those of the Dun dee and Perth and Dundee and Newtyle railways, for power to raise £lOO,OOO, and the Uxbridge and Rickmansworth, in the Lords. THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Yesterday, in Mr. Cow per's Committee, Mr. Bazalgette, Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Main Drain age of the Metropolis, deposed that in 1860 he, in conjunction with Mr. Hemans, submitted a plan to Parliament for a solid embankment from West minster to Blackfriars-bridge very similar to that now proposed by the promoters of the bill before the committee, together with a road to the Mansion house, and to carry the great low level sewer, at an approximate cost of £30,000, along the embank ment from Victoria-street-west to Cannon-street. The coffer-dam used for the embankment would enable them to construct the sewer. L. 4 IN2ELLIGENCE.-111a! 20. HOUSE OF LORDS. EYRE V. BURMESTER. This was an appeal from the Court of Chancery, in Ireland, and was argued on the 6111 and 7th of April last, and judgment postponed. The matter involved is connected with the nu merous transactions of the late John Sadleir; and the short facts divested of any extraneous matter are as follows. In July, 1855, John Sadleir, being then the chairman of the London and County Bank and a member of Parliament, was indebted to the bank about £20,000, for which the bank held ample security. Janes Sadleir, his brother, who was the managing director of the Tipperary Bank, applied on his behalf to the solicitor of the bank for a further loan of £90,000, which he offered to secure on certain estates in Ireland. The applica tion was duly considered by a committee of the bank, and a proposition made by James Sadleir for the gradual liquidation and ultimate extinguish ment of the debt due from John Sadleir was laid before them. It was to the effect that property of the value of from £450,000 to £480,000 should be assigned to three trustees, of whom James Sadleir was to be one, the other two to be chosen from the directors of the bank; that the trustees should have power to sell as speedily as possible so much of John Sadleir's property as should liquidate. any advances which might be made by the bank, and also the debt then due to the same ; that the bank should advance to the trustees so much money. net exceeding £lOO,OOO, as should discharge all the outstanding liabilities of John Sadleir ; that a debt of £40,000 due by him to the Tipperary Bank should stand over until all the liabilities due to the London and Corinty Bank were paid ; that the Tipperary Bank should gua rantee the London and County Bank against. any ultimate loss for advances to, and the existing debt of, John Sadleir at the end of 18 months at the latest. James Sadleir also repre sented that there were freehold properties of the value of £174,000 which could be realised before the following December for the purpose of pay ment to the bank, and also a m or t gage , ca ll ed the £ C 9 ll o 3 , n o ( o l° o s , before inoil that gage which wa s a good security for time, by its being transferred to another person, hut if that could nut be effected, it could be paid off E by the prod uce o f sa l es of the onMarquisths ; and of e rtts not being r ea li se d y within eighteen s ven pro to p f i in the course of the then yea r, i t might be adopted months e i h n a n r b d e o s e by the link, if it chore, in part liquidation of John Sadleir's debt ; and it was stated that there would he abundance of surplus property beyond the £174,000 and the 19000 which it was proposed that the trustees should realise. In the result, cer tain estates were conveyed to the respondent Bur mester, who was and is a director of the London and County Bank, and other trustees, James Sadleir being one of them, and a sum of £95,000 was cgreed to bo advanced by the bank on that security. In August, 1855, when the solicitor of the bank applied to have deeds of conveyance registered in Dublin, it was discovered that the estates had been previously mortgaged to the apel lanr, Thomas J 1 EOctober, 1854. John Sadleir, Jose 3• re, in however, induced Eyre to execute a release to him of the prior mortgage on his substituting shares in a Swedish r.l as a security. After ai w . aa: s the death of John 6 the representative s Sadleir, in February, 18a representatives of the County Bank proceeded to lcuns sell the estat es i n the Ib rd Estates Court in Ireland, but were met byi ebjeecb tes y d bE y yr ethat the release he h a d executedan o was obtained tain fraud, and that the shar es w hi ch e - were substituted as his security were forged and fictitious. The Judge of LONDON, WEDNESDAY itvENING, the Incumbered Estates Court held that the release was valid as regarded the claim of the London and County Bank, which decision was affirmed by the Lordz. Justices of the Court of Appeal in Ireland. Hence the present appeal. Their lordships now delivered their opinions, and held that the decision of the court below was errone ous, must be reversed, and the appeal allowed. MIJNBEE'S DIVORCE. As this house still retains its jurisdiction in cases of divorce between subjects of her Majesty resident in India, the following case carne beforl their lord ships this day. The petitioner, Gore Boland Mum bee, is a Lieut.-Colonel of Engineers in that part of her Majesty's Indian army attached to the presi dency of Bombay. On the 28th of :3eptember, 1846, the petitioner, bong then 31 years of age, was married to Sophia Catherine Frankland, spinster, aged 23, at the church of Sattara, in the presidency of Bombay, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England. The parties lived and cohabited together as man and wife at Poona and Mahableshewar from the date of their marriage till April, 1851, when thQy left India, and came together to England. Colonel Muntee returned to India at the end of 1852, leaving his wife behind on account of ill health, but she rejoined him at Bombay, in the spring of 1854. In 1857 she again came to England from ill health, her husband's military duties detain ing him in India, and she returned in March, 1859, and then cohabitation continued till January, 1860, when Colonel Munbee was obliged to go on a tour of military inspection which involved a separation of a few months from his wife, whom he left with her sister, the wife of a brother officer, at Poona, subsequently at Mahableshewar. A legacy having been left to Mrs. Munbee, she entered into a corre spondence with her husband, and induced him to settle money upon her to her separate use. On 19th May ; 1860, Mrs. Munbee left Mahableshe war, and proceeded under an assumed name by way of Bombay to Surat, where she was joined by Charles Payne Barras, a lieutenant in the 29th Native Infantry, with whom she eloped for Dohna on the 22d of May, 1860; since which time she has been living in open adultery with him. On the 26th May, 1860, Mrs. Munbee addressed the toitowie s Icttcr fel her Imcbcon,l • --. " May 26, 1360. " I have at last taken a step which will enable You to re lease yourself and me from a tie which has become each year more irksome to both. I cannot hope that at first oven the recollection of the miserable terms on which we have long lived will reconcile you to my having sought the pro tection of Captain Barras; but if you take the only proper course open to you under the circumstances, you will in the end congratulate yourself on my having done so. What I have now done is done after long and mature consideration, and I have well weighed all the disadvantages attending such a step, and prefer setting every consideration at de fiance to continuing to lead a hopless, aimless, and miser able life. Circumstances so far favour you that the usual talk and scandal attending such a case may be entirely avoided. I have made no confidante, and am going to such an isolated place that if you choose to apply immediately for a divorce nothing need be known until you are thereby rid of me. You may choose not to afford me the release which I desire. If so, you will regret it hereafter, and the disgrace of my position will be reflected upon yeu. Nor can you satisfy yourself by a hostile meeting with Captain Barras; for my sake he cannot and will not give you such satisfac tion • duelling too is out of fashion, and redress by law within your reach. If you seek damages' only you will oblige me to bring forward evidence of a disagreeable na ture, to prove that us happy home has been destroyed, and you must fail in gaining them ; therefore for your own sake, if not for mine, refrain from such a course.' An action for criminal conversation was brought by Colonel Munbee in the Supreme Court at Bombay against Lieut. Barras, in which judgment went by default, and 3,000 rupees damages awarded, which, with the costs, were duly paid. A seperation niensa et thoro was also obtained in the ecclesiasti cal side of the Supreme Court ; and the present bill was introduced for the purpose of dissolving the marriage. Mr. Lush, with whom was Mr. Macqueen, ap peared for the petitioner, and stated the case. The printed evidence as to criminal intercourse and subsequent elopement and cohabitation, which was taken and verified in India, was put in ; and witnesses having been examined to give additional proof of the marriage, The bill was read a second time. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Nisi Prias. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman end a Common Jury.) RATHERA Y. CLARK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a jockey, against the defendant, a gentleman well known on the turf, to recover the sum of £B3 19s. for services rendered as a jockey. The defendant pleaded, first, never indebted ; and, secondly, pay ment. Mr. Murphy was counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Best for defendant. Mr. Murphy, having opened the plaintiff's case, called the following witnesses : The plaintiff said—l am a jockey, and have had great experience in horses. In the Liverpool Spring races of 186 G I met the defendant upon the race course. Priest, who was one of the defendant's jockeys, introduced mo to him. The defendant asked me what weight I rode. I told him, and we then agreed that I should go into his service as a jockey, at a salary of £4O per annum. I was never to ride any other gentleman'ssn's horse in the same race. I was to have 5 guineas for a winning mount, and 3 guineas for a losing one. I had leave to ride other gentlemen's horses for other races. I was in the defendant's service until the middle of the 3 ear 1857, when I was turned off by the defend a nt, with several other jockeys. During the time that I was in defendant's employ I rode Lady Florence at Ascot, but did not win. At the same meeting I rode South Western, and won the £5O stakes. I rode Lady Florence again at the same meeting, but did not win. I rode Weathercock at Hampton-court, Yorkshireman at Goodwood, York shireman at Doncaster, Eagle at Manchester, and Yorkshireman again at Lichfield. I did not win on either of those occasions. The def e ndant never paid me a shilling for my services. Since I left the defendant's employ I have been living with Colonel Cockburn (Lord Seaton's son) and Lord Stamford.: Cross-examined — At the time I made the agree ment with the defendant I was about eighteen years old. I was not engaged as a stabl e b o y. M r . Bur bridge was the trainer at the defend an t' s establish ment atuse five guineas for my I did not engage a t a sa l ary o f s s . services. Edgeford. He did not pay per week. I lived at Edgeford, and my board and lodging was found me. I used sometimes to take the horses out for exercise. Priest was called, and corroborated the plaintiff as to the defendant having engaged the latter in his (the witness's) place as a jockey. Witness was obliged to summon the defendant in the Brompton County Court before he would pay him his salary. The defendant afterwards took out a summons against witness for perjury, but had abandoned it. Cross- examined —He did not know that the reason why defendant did not appear to answer the summons in the county court was in consequence of the funeral of his mother taking place on the same day. He was discharged in consequence of being too heavy to ride. He was paid £2O p er annum , and five guineas for winning mounts and three guineas for losing , ones. Re-examined — The plaintiff's services were more valuable than his were, because the plaintiff was much lighter. This was the plaintiff's case. For the defence Edward Rawson Clark was called, and said---I am the defendant. I reside in Thistle-grove, Brompton, I have a racing esta blishment at Edgeford, in Staffordshire. The plain tiff was engaged by me as a stable boy at ss. 4 week. I was at the Liverpool Spring Races in 1856. Priest ss-rs. s.asoauesa me Lo tae ptaintitt. I eta not ask the plaintiff what his weight was. I never spoke to him at Liverpool in my life. I did not engage him as a jockey. I gave him five guineas on one occasion. That wan for winning the race at Lich field with South-Western. It is customary in esta blishments like mine to engage boys as stable boys. If they turn cut well we put them upon a horse for the purpose of giving them an insight to the busi ness. The plaintiff left my service in the middle of 1857. Ho never applied to me for any money when lie left me, and I never heard anything of this claim until the beginning of this year. I was summoned by Priest at the Brompton County Court. I could not appear to the summons on ac count of my mother's funeral. I subsequently took out a summons against him for perjury. I did not appear to it through a mistake on the part of my attorney, and consequently that was dismissed. In cress-examination the defendant again denied that he had seen the plaintiff at the Liverpool Spring Meeting, and also that he had engaged him as a jockey. lie was only engaged as a stable boy. He fed with the other stable boys, and was paid 5 3. a week by the defend.int's trainer. Burbridpe, the defendant's trainer, was then called, and said—l went with time defendant in 1856, mind continoc d with him until July or August, 1857. There were about eight or nine stable boys at the time at the establishment at Edgeford, and the plaintiff was one of them. I paid him his wages. I never heard that he was engaged at .C4O per is are num. I gava him £5 for winning the race at Lich field wimh South Western. A stable boy bound to ride when his master puts him up. The learned counsel having addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients, The learned judge summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. --- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prins in London.—(Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) BOLTON V. THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY COMPANY— THE KENTISH-TOWN ACCIDENT. This was an action to recover damages for injuries sustained in the accident which happened at the MAY 01, Kentish .town junction on the 2d Sept. last ; and the company admitted their liability and paid £lOO into couvt, so that the only question was whether this amount was Lufficient to compensate the pldntiff. Mr. Hawkins and Mr. H, James appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr, Boyill and Mr. J. Browne for the defendants. The plaintiff was a young woman, 20 years of age, and she was the widow of G. H. Bolton, who had been a stoker in the employ of the defendants, and on Sept. 2 she went upon the excursion to Kew and returned by the train which met with the acci dent. She was in the carriage next the engine, and nothing happened until she heard the whistle, and immediately afterwards felt the carriage barn over and over. It went down the embankment, and she received an injury upon the left side of the head and was insensible for a few moments. The carriage was broken to pieces, and she having scrambled out of it with her infant in her arms was about to get under a railway arch, as a place of safety, but find ing there were palings which prevented her doing so, she turned back and then saw her husband stand ing by the wreck with his clothes on fire and call ing to her for assistance. In a short time he was placed in a cab and was taken to the University Hospital, where she remained with him for three hours, when she went home to the east end of Lon don in a cab. At the hospital she felt pains in her head, wrist, and foot. She, however, did not con sult any of the medical men there, she being more anxious about her husband, who was so hurt that he died a few days afterwards. The next evening, however, she consulted a medical man. Previously to the accident she was in very good health, but since then the pains in the left side of her head and body had increased down to the pre sent time. She experienced dimness of sight, mostly of the loft eye, and since the accident she had fainted away once, and had often felt very faint. She had been able to earn nothing since the accident, but the company allowed her £1 a week until January, when the action was commenced, and they had paid her in addition £B, and had also paid the expenses connected with her husband's funeral. Her hus band had earned 28s. a week. Medical men were called, who detailed the symp toms, and expressed their opinion that there was disease of the brain, which it was feared might re sult in paralysis. On the ()flier hand the doctors called for the com pany thought that the plaintiff was not so mu ch hurt, and they expressed their opinion that there was no permanent injury. In the course of the case it was stated that ano ther action had been commenced on account of the injuries sustained by the child, and that a third action had been, or was about to be brought, for damages for the loss of the husband; and this led to a suggestion which resulted in an arrangement, that upon the payment of 400 guineas beyond the sum paid into court, proceedings in all the actions should cease. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) PARSONS V. MARSH-JUDGMENT. In this case, which was reported some time ago, the will propounded had been found under very sin gular ciroutnst ances. The evidence was very con tradictory, end the court, in giving judgment this morning, remarked on the singularity of the cir cumstance that a person so evidently illiterate as the one that had written the will should have made use of such formal and appropriate language. Besides, the signature of the tes tator, Solomon Brake Strong, was mis-spelt. On the whole, he (the learned judge) was by no means satisfied that the instrument had been written and signed by the deceased, or that the signatures of the alleged attesting witnesses (both of whom were also dead) were really theirs. He must, therefore, pronounce against the will, and condemn the par ties propounding it in the costs. IA6I, NEWMAN V. NEWMAN-JUDGMENT. In this case also the court gave sentence, and pro nounced for the will. BAILY V. BAILY AND DELLA ROCCA. In this case Mrs. Baily had appealed against the decision of the court to the House of Lords, but had since withdrawn her appeal. Sir C. Cresswell therefore made the decree nisi absolute. CROWTHER Ir. CROWTHER AND M'DONALD. The question of costs had been reserved, and Sir C. Cresswell now decided that he could not condemn 111'llonald under the circumstances of the case. Ti.e petition was tried and reported a few days ago. JEWELL V. JEWELL. The court pronounced a decree nisi with costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, May 20. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) John Healey, 36, tailor, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 120, the property of Henry Cran brook. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, Mr. Bosley defended. The prosecutor was in Tichberne-street with his sister-in-law, on returning from a walk in the Park. Two men pressed against him, and feeling his watch guard fall, he turned round and seized the prisoner, who had pushed him nearest where he wore his watch. The prisoner said that "on his honour" he was a respectable tradesman from Manchester, and could not do such a thing. The watch was no t found. The jury found him guilty, and Lockyer, the prison officer, proved that, instead of his being a respectable tradesman from Manchester, he was a most notorious thief, known by the nickname of " Happy Joe," and the aliases of Andrews, Wilshaw, Parker, &c., and had been convicted six times of felony. llHis Lordship said there was but one course to take, and the sentence was that he be kept in penal servitude ten years. Eliza Smith, 24, barmaid, was indicted for steal ' ing the sum of £5 2s. and three bottles, the money and property of Edward Thomas Davis, her master. She pleaded guilty. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, Mr. F. H. Lewis defended. The prosecutor was the proprietor of the Fortune of War Tavern, Maiden-lane, and the prisoner had been in his service as barmaid. As soon as she entered upon her situation the takings fell off; and, in consequence of her having purchased a new silk dress, and asked the cook not to men tion it, suspicion was excited and she was detected. A good deal of loose money and new clothes were found in her boxes, which she had not in her pos session when she took the place. It was suggested that th© reason of the prisoner committing the pil fering was an inordinate love of finery. His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour, and expressed his hope that she would never be in such a position again. Mrs. Davis said the things which the prisoner took with her when she was engaged should be given back to her, but by order of the Court the money and the new clothes purchased with the stolen money were to be given to Mrs. Davis. An old man, named James Carter, was found Guilty of stealing a pint pot, value 25., the pro perty of James Dance. This was an ordinary case of stealing publicans' pots, but the prisoner had been convicted, as proved by Sergeant Potter, D, and Lockyer, the gaol officer, of the same sort of offence 15 times. His Lordship said the offence of pot-stealing was one of a very mischievous character, and such of fenders must be punished severely. The prisoner had been convicted over and over again, and had already served three years' penal servitude. The Court, therefore, now sentenced him to four years' penal servitude, as a warning to others. George Barnes, 32, a carman, was arraigned on a charge of embezzling 4s. 6d., the money of John Chandler and others, his masters. The prisoner said ho was only committed on Saturday, and was then too late to have writing materials to write to his friends, who did not know where he was. He was told he could have them on Monday, but on Monday he was told he could not have them until next Saturday; and though the chaplain had said he could have them before then, the warder said ho could not allow it without the order of the governor, which, the prisoner said, was refused. The governor was sent for by the learned Judge, and stated that there was evidently a mistake, as he duly entered in his book all such applications, and had it been made t o hi m i t would have appeared in the book. It did not. The prisoner persisted that the warder told him he could not h ave th e pen, i nk, an d paper until Saturday next but by order of the governor. The learned Judge said he would postpone the trial until next session, and in the meantime the governor would inquire into the matter, and inform the Court upon the subject. Mary Ann Atkins, 24, a prostitute, was indicted for stealing a £5 note and £4 in gold from the per son of an old man named Jeremiah Webster. Mr. Way prosecuted ; Mr. Collins appeared for the prisoner. This was a robbery committed upon the prosecu tor by the prisoner and a soldier on Constitution hill. The prisoner picked the prosecutor's pocket and passed the purse to the soldier. This was seen by a messenger named Wells, who said, if the money of which the old man said he had been robbed were not returned he would fetch the picket and have him locked up. The prisoner then said, " Ding it, Jack," and the note w as thrown down, the soldier got away, and Wells picked the note up. The gold was not found. The prisoner was found Guilty, and several pre vious convictions were proved against her. The learned Judge sentenced her to four years' penal servitude, an d said he only regretted that the soldier, whom the prisoner called "Jack," could not be found. Arthur Walters, 17, and Japes Bryant, 31, hawkers, were indieed for stealing a tabiecover end other articles, the property of Fraser Henshaw. The prisoner s went a b ou t th e su b ur b s o f th e me tropolis carrying baskets, as hawkers, calling at gentlemen's houses on the pretence of having goods to sell, but really to steal anything they could lay hands upon. From the house of the prosecutor they took a tablecover, a paper-knife and seal. They were watched by police-constable 79 S., who was on duty near the prosecutor's house, Nu. 18, New Finchley-r.)ad, St. John's wood, and he saw them change caps after they left the house, and found in their possession the articles in question. They were found Guilty, and it was proved that they had but just returned from penal servitude. They were now sentenced to penal servitude for four years. James Swipe, 21, and George Thornton, 34, were indicted for stealing an iron safe and the sum of £3, the property and money of George Young, the landlord of the Beckford's Head publiellouse, Old• street, St. Luke's. Mr. Collins prosecuted ; Mr. F. H. Lewis de fended the prisoner Snape. The evidence being insufficient to make out the charge against the prisoners, though the robbery had been committed by somebody, the jury found them not guilty. Frank Boutts, 19, was convicted on Monday of embezzling £l, and other sums, the moneys of James Mills, his master, pawnbroker, of 15, Edge ware.road, and also for stealing a ring and the sum of £6l4s. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and said that the ring and the money had been given by the prisoner (who was a mere stripling) to a young woman, older than himself, whom he had been courting, and who was in service at an establishment in Stafford street, where he had been employed. He was sentenced to six months' hard labour. The young woman, on hearing that the prisoner was employed at a pawnbroker's, went and gave up what she had received from him. Benjamin Shepherd, 26, labourer, was convicted of a brutal assault upon John Howell, police con stable 494 N, by giving him a kick on his knee while he was in the execution of his duty. He pleaded guilty. It appeared that the constable had to interpose in a fight outside the Red Lion publichouse, Church street, Stoke Newington, in which the prisoner was taking part, and he, using frightful oaths, threat ened to do for him, and made an endeavour to kick him in the stomach, but the constable's knee caught the blow, and he fell nearly senseless. A piece of flesh was cut out. The officer had not been able to do duty since, and was still suffering great pain. The prisoner threatened what he meant to do by kicking. His lordship said it was a most abominable and aggravated offence, and sentenced the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for three years. Alfred Miles was convicted, on his own con fession, of stealing seven gold and turquoise buttons, the property of Messrs. Debenham and Storr, the auctioneers. The prisoner was detected by Ackrill, an officer of the F division, who was on duty in plain clothes, in the auction-rooms, and detected him cutting the buttons off a lady's dress. In his possession were found 20 pearl buttons and seven gold ones set with turquoise. He was re manded for judgment, as his friends wore prepared to send him to New Zealand. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Daniel Barton, 21, a - tall, muscular young man, was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously inflict ing grievous bodily harm upon William Scott and George Dudley, and for assaulting Thomas O'Connor and Richard Lillicrap, two police••con stables, in the execution of their duty. Mr. Langford prosecuted ; Mr. Pater defended. Mr. Nicholls, of 10, Pentonville-road, a printer, stated that on the night of Monday, the 28th of April, he found the prisoner in the area of his house, and as he had no business there he ordered him off. In half an hour he retcred, and was then given in charge to police-constable 409 A, Lillicrap, and was very violent, and kicked at the officer at the lower part of his person. Lillicrap said he found the prisoner in the front garden of Mr. Nicholls's house, and took him into custody. When he got him into the street he threatened a serious injury to him, and said, " What ; you take me ;" and then kicked him. He tripped prisoner, and a struggle took place on the ground, they got up and had another struggle and again fell, when the prisoner carried, out his threat, and witness fainted for a minute or two. Assistance came up and prisoner was taken to the station, kicking and fighting at every body on the way. He bad not been off duty in consequence, but had en dured great pain up to now, _ _ _ William Scott, 138 N, stated that he went to the assistance of the last witness, and found the pri soner on the ground, held down by several persons; he was resisting violently. The prisoner said if they would let him get up he would go quietly; they did so, but no sooner had he got on his feet than he gave witness a kick on the knee, which cut out a piece of flesh as big as a florin. They h a d by force to take his boots off. On the way to the station he pulled witness down over him, and then again began kicking in a brutal manner. He was at last taken on a stretcher. The other constable corroborated this evidence, and Dr. Billinghurst, of 5, Church-r ow , I s li ngton, gave evids nce as to the injuries the kicks had caused. The prisoner's defence was, that he had been drinking three days and did not know w hat he wa s about. He had never been under charge before and never would be again, he hoped, as he was an honest and hardworking man. The jury found him Guilty, and The learned fudge said, that with every disposi tion to deal with a young man in the flower of life, who had never before been guilty of any felony or other offence in a lenient manner, yet it was his duty to teach those who committed these vile and savage outrages, by way of example, that the excuse of drinking did not exonerate them from punish ment. The sentence upon him was nine months' hard labour. Charles Costa, a ship's cook, was indica ed for ob taining by false pretences, from Sarah Baker, the sum of Bs., and also for fraudulently obtaining by fraud from other persons goods and money. He pleaded Guilty. The prisoner went to different persons who had relatives at sea, and, by representing that he had come home from where they were in chaige of pro perty on which there were expenses due, but which he could not pay, obtained sums of money. When asked the name of his ship he could not recollect it. He had been previously convicted and had not been to sea for 12 months. The Court sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. A great number of cases of larceny from the per son and ordinary larceny were disposed of. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. _May 20. MANSION HOUSE.—James George Rossi, a respectably dressed man of 28, was placed at the bar before Alderman Rose accused of being concerned in a forgery. The circumstances were peculiar. On April 14 the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Howard, a salesman in Leadenhall-market, and wished to pay his account. A clerk there named Parker, whom he addressed, asked his name. He replied " Nix," at the same time running over a few of the items in his bill, and stating the amount to be £1 18s. The clerk referred to a ledger, and found an unpaid ac count against a Mr. Nix for that sum. The prisoner then tendered in payment a check for £ll, pur porting to be drawn by Henry Dawson upon Chas. Price and Co., bankers in King William -street, and payable to Mr. Rossi or bearer. At first the shop- MPII objected to change the check, but the prisoner having said that Mr. Howard, whom he had known for many years, would have changed it if he had been in the way, and that he wanted the money particularly that night, Parker yielded, and gave him the difference—l 9 2s. "Never mind the 25.," said the prisoner, returning that sum, "the account has been owing a long time." He then left the shop without taking a receipt. Mr. H. J. Wood, cashier in the hank of Sir Chas. Price and Co., proved that the check was written upon one of their forms, but that, they never had an account in the name of Henry Dawson. Mr. Samuel Nix, a gentleman residing at Black heath-park, said he dealt with Mr. Howard for some years. He did not owe him a farthing. If any account had been standing in his name in Mr. Howard's books he certainly should not have autho rised any one to pay it. He did not knowl the pri soner. The evidence of Thomas Horton Upjohn, a clerk to Mr. Howard, threw new light on the transac tion. He said there was an unsettled account of £1 18s. in the name of Nix in his master's ledger. The goods were supplied to the prisoner about two himl-, years ago. When the prisoner first came to the shop he said to witness, " You have been i n th e MrN ilc servedv tpoultry; poultry, use me as well." h a bit of Witness serying then also on different occasions afterwards, for which the prisoner paid. Subsequently h e h ad other things, for which he did not pay, but gave the name of Nix, though without an address, in order to their being booked, the Witness believing Mr. Nix's family. he was one of Anthony Wilson Monger, a detective police offi cer, said, about half-past ten o'clock on Monday night he went to a house in Crawford ltreet, Oxford street, and found the prisoner about to sit down to supper with ten other people in a room on the first fic,)r. Tle hed known tEle prisoner for many years. Witness, rlCre.-;sing him, said, "James, how are ?" The prisoner replied, " Monger, I - know what you want." On witness stating the charge against him the prisoner admitted he had uttered the check, but without knowing it to have been forged. As there were several other cheeks of the same kind in circulation, witness, after a caution, asked him where he got it. Ile blandly replied, You must excusn me, Mr. Monger, I would rather not tell you; I gave value for the check, and I shall explain the circumstances to my solicitor to morrow." At the police-station the prisoner gave the name of James George Rossi. For the prisoner Mr. Maynard cross•examined the witnesses, but without eliciting any essential circumstance in his favour. The prisoner behaved with some effrontery during the examination. He looked Mr. Nix, whose name he had assumed, full in the face with a defiant air when that gentleman said, in the witness-box, he did not, know him. 011 receiving the usual caution from the bench, the prisoner said he would leave his defence to his solicitor. Alderman Ros© committed him to Newgate for trial. STA TI? OF TRA DE. MANCHESTER, May 20.—The inactivity and de spondency occasioned in this market for some days past by the advices from America continue without mitigation. The opinion is gaining ground with respect to American affairs that this is the begin ning of the end, and that an increased supply of cotton may be looked upon as certain. As to the quantity likely to come forward no one is in a po sition to form the slightest idea,and theuncertainty on this point is a ground for caution both among buyers and sellers. In the cloth market there has been a little more anxiety to sell, which causes prices to be very irregular, but, as a rule, manufac turers are moderately firm. The Indian advices are more encouraging, and but for the apprehensions of consequences likely to arise out of a speedy settle ment of the American question we should have had a good deal of business. As it is buyers "do not see their way ;" they are desirous to wait the advices of the next mail, and then the next; and business is paralysed. What little is doing is chiefly to make up small assorted orders and more of a retail than wholesale character. Prices are in favour of buyers, but it is next to impossible to give quotations, since no offers large enough to test prices have been made. There is quite as little doing in yarns as in cloths. In these, as in the fabrics they are to make, sellers would make concessions, but there is no encourage ment froin buyers, who coldly abstain from busi ness, and there are no offers worth naming for any kind of twist whatever. The Cotton Supply Association are still pursuing experiments as to the extent to which cotton grown in India can be made available for the.purposes of spinners and manufacturers. To-day they have had on view samples of 70's twist spun from Broach cotton, and also of 80's spun from cotton grown in Madras, and the finest yarn yet attempted from Indian staples. The latter is an exceeding fine and satisfactory description of yarn, and it is intended to have it woven into muslins, for which it seems well adap ted. Both kinds of yarn compare well with samples from American cotton. These samples were shown on the Exchange to-day, and were regarded gene rally as very successful experiments, and a good deal admired. They were spun by Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Ty. ldesley. LEEDS, 20T11.—There has not been much acti vity in the cloth halls this morning, yet withal there was nearly an average amount of business done. Rather more white heavy goods were sold than at late markets, as also plain and fancy goods for autumn and winter wear. As to prices, those of cloths and those of wool keep nearly alike steady. Any change that is noticeable is chiefly some con cession to effect a sale, and the amount is not such as to indicate that there is in general a lowering of rates. ROCHDALE, 19Ta.—The flannel trade con tinues in much the same state of activity as lately reported. To•day's market has not been very brisk, and the bulk of the purchases were for the home trade, the foreign and colonial demand both being very quiet. For Llneashire and Welsh flannels of medium stoutness there is an improved demand, while fancies still move off well. Yorkshire goods are still dull of sale, but there is a little more doing than for the last few weeks. The local wool trade is somewhat inactive, but prices are steady. The same may be said as to the prices of flannels. COUN2RY MA RA L S. . -4, NEWCASTLE-UNDER -LYME-MONDAY. A moderate show of wheat to-day, for which the demand ruled heavy at a further reduction in prices. White made 60s to 655; red, 56s to 608 per 36 stone.
