For some time past the Detective Department of the Metropolitan Police have been lately taking steps for the suppression of this great sporting lottery, and having per fected their arrangements, Inspector Clarke, Sergeants Pahner:and Sunerway, and two other officers proceeded to Deptford and apprehended the five defendants, who were the managers of the "Deptford Spec," and Mr. Farrah, of the Strand, on the authority of warrants issued by Sir Thomas Henry, the chief magistrate, and this Morning they were placed in the dock, where they gave their names as follows : Alexander Leislunan, the proprietor of the "D e ptf or d SPee," 10, Florence -cottages, Deptford ; Alex. Walker, 12, Florence -cottages; Charles Clayton, stationer, Clarence place, Deptford ; William Daniels, Plumstead-road ; Thos. Stephen Morrs, dairyman, 25, Central-street, St. Luke's. Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Treasury to prosecute, and Mr. Sergeant Sleigh defended the defen dants. Mr: Poland, in stating tLe case, said the present prose cution was instituted under the 16th and 17th of Victoria, en d drytilatog charge against thorn was Hies-Ally keeping and on a lottery on horse racing. A tremendous num ber of books are sent to the various public-houses, where they are sold. The name of the race is mentioned in the tickets in each of the bcoks, the name of the:horse and the amount of Eubscriptioa is also mentioned. He would just take one as a specimen from "the Newmarket Handicap," for which 60,000 subscribers was required. Sir T. Henry— How many ? Idr. P oland -60,000 ; £5OO was the prize for the first horse, £3OO for the second, £l5O for the third, £5OO to be divided amongst the starters, £6OO amongst the non-starters, £2OO prizes of £2 each, £3OO in prizes of £1 each, and 500 prizes of 10s. each. The draw takes place at a certain public-house on a given night from two wheels-of-fortune by two boys, and as the names are drawn they are taken down in the most busi nesslike manner. The drawing of these " specs," he con tended, were not only lotteries on horse racing but lotte ries in the most extended sense of the term. Saturday nights were generally chosen for the draw, when the labouring classes received their wages, and as it was im- Possible that all the 60,000 subscribers could be present, result-sheets were publisheJ, which the prisoner Farrah sold at his sh op i n the Strand, and as there was a pro that 10 per cent. was to be deducted for ex- Pcn ses, no person except the prisoners could by any Means tell the amount of money kept back for expenses as the allotment of the moneys was always subject to the number of tickets. The Newmarket Handicap was drawn at the Bedford Arms, Holloway, and the City and Subur -4'l at the Union Beerhouse,'Poplar. These lotteries had 11 " 1 grown to an enormous extent, and it was most de sirable that some steps should be taken to suppress these very objectionable speculations, and as the case would he tho ught be f u ll y made out against each prisoner, he should call for the committal of them all for trial at the Central Crhninal Court for misdemeanour, the punish ment for which was two years' imprisonment, the in fliction of a fine bring altogether inadequate to meet t he exigences of the case. He should have stated that When the prisoner Leishman was apprehended at 10, Florence Cottag es, two cab loads of tickets, &c., were found, and also £1,400 in money, the distribution for the hNewmarket Handicap, but as 60,000 shillings amounted ad 3,000, i t was impossib:e to say how many tickets been sold, or how much money bad been deducttld for expenses. At Clayton's shop, at Deptford, a great quantity of things connected with the spec wore taken possession of, as also at Farrah's shop. It was thought that, the system having grown to enor mous proportions, it was for the public good such pro ceedings should be suppressed. The following witnesses were then examined : Inspector Clark said—l am an inspector of the Metro politan police, and in consequence of directions I received I went on Saturday last to the Bedford Arms, Andover road, llornsey. It is kept by a person of the name of Harris. Sergeant Palmer was with me. Wo went to the bar, where we found Minns serving the customers, he had a book of tickets for the Deptford Spec, for the Liverpool Grand National, to which was attached a counterfoil. I think about a dozen ,were sold, whilst we were present at one shilling each. I purchased a ticket, numbered 56,810. Palmer also purchased a ticket. I produce the ticket I purchased. There were to be GO,OOO subscribers at is each, with the other prizes as already mentioned. "A. L." was on each of tho tickets. After the tickets Were purchased the people went up to a large room on the first floor. I went up, and found about 60 or 70 persons there. The four defendants, Alexander Walker, Charles Clayton, Walter Daniels, and Thomas Stephen Morris were there. A man was also there selling tickets. I don't him personally, but I know him to be a racing man. I purchased one of him also—viz., 53,791, for the Liverpool Grand National. The draw then took place. Walker, who was behind the table in the club room, got up an said, "4,200 tickets not sold." That he repeated twice, and then gave the particulars of them. It took half an hour to read the numbers. Daniels and Morris appeared to be conducting the business. They untied a number of small parcels of tickets, and continued to do so until they had undone about a bushel of them. If could see there were numbers upon the tickets. The tickets were then all mixed up and put into a large wheel of fortune with a quantity of s tud to prevent the tickets stacking together. Clayton then asked if any gentleman had got a sporting paper, and receiving no answer he pro duced one himself —the Sporting Life—said, " Will any gentleman read out the horses entered for the Grand Na tional ?" This was done, and Clayton produced a ticket for each horse entered, and placed them on the table. Walter Daniels and Morris then proceeded to undo the prizes, which were larger tickets than the others —I should say in bulk they appeared to be about a quarter the quantity of the other tickets. These tickets were then placed in another wheel o fortune, and then two boys came into the room, pulled their Jackets off, and one went to each wheel, when the t *wh eeler were turned by a stranger present, and each boy weea ticket, w hi ch ho gave to Morris, who stood be n the two. He called out the name of the horse and the prize twice. Thi s occupied about 40 minutes. All the tickets were entered on a paper as they were drawn. Clayton assisted Morris in calling out the numbers and prizes. They took turn and turn about until the whole of the tickets were drawn. The draw terminated at a quarter past ten. I left after the draw, and went to the front of the bar and saw Minns. I did not see Leishman at all that night. I then left the house. I was not present when the Prprizes were distribed at the Bedford Arms. On the int of March I went to 10, Florence-cottages. It is a and te house, but fitted up as an offic e . I saw Cl ayton Walker there. They were behind the counter. I S aid " Hav e you any tickets for the City and Suburban ?" Clayton said "Yes, how many ?" I said "five." He said " Will you have them from one book, or several ?" I said "From different books," and ho gave them me from some books he took from different parts of the place. The num bers of each were 3,462, 3,877, 3,819, 42,950, and 72,374. sI paid ls. each for the tickets. I produce them in the übsl receivod th em. The prizes in this race were 75,000 x2O, is. eac h . First horse, £6OO ; second, £4OO ; third, U. Starters £ 2 each , £5OO ; n on - starters, £BOO. 800 prizes ; 400 £1 each ; and 500 of 10s. each. There were hundreds of books of tickets in the office. 1 then, on the same day, went to Clayton's shop, Clarence place, Deptford. I purchased there two tickets for the same race, these were numbered 74,893 and 65,142. There Wore ther e a l so a great us say boaks a b out the place. th O e3a of A pr i l I received the result-sheet from Serge a ant Suuerway. From that I found that one of my tickets, 7 1 2 0 ,3;4 1Q , was a £1 prize, and on the 7th of April I west to - a c t o t t s door,an daaatdthriNvfeoeallloko'cwloccdk f e o m u nd intoM o r t r h i e s and Walker ratasked the amount office and presented the ticket. of the prizes, I said ho then looked xvol3nerit alt gave the ticket, which had had some ink spilleda back. Morris looked at it, and then said,it this, that's all about it." I said the number Icvaaens:ttqtpuhai.ty: plain, and that it was purchased cf them in the state was. They refused to pay the ticket and 1 then left the office. y learned fri en d need not im- Mr. Ser gean t Sl e i g h - 11 pute other charges to those nowbeing l disposed of. opLeptford W itness continued—Last evening armed with warrants and some othteroo:lotilmeres atondNfoo.ultiOd, Flo rence Cottages. I went into h Walk er, C layton, Daniels and Morris there —all seemed to La engaged cou n ti ng money. Money was lying in h eaps on the counter. I heard that Leish4ianwas o in a t n h d e h l o t u h s e e n , so I s ent for him to come down. Hs d i d told th em I was an officer and held warrants fur the wi a t p h: prehensio n o f all of them. Each gave their names out hesitati on , and I told them I must take them into custody. I produced a search warrant and said I should take possession of all I found connected with i the lottery, and did so. During this time Leishmanssa d, I've me conducted this spec for six years, and no one can a s k aid he for a penny. lie repeated that frequently. lie s was the originator of the spec., and that he had p ledg ed his clothes to keep his first engagement.

I told him I had a search war ruraenta'llwthieickhetls,seLzeo.,nce put into execution. Farrah gave he had in the shop. I produce them all. I have not had time to examine them. There are tickets relating to a great number of " Specs," and also shares in the " Lucky bag." Tickets had previously been Lought at his shop for the Derby Spec. In reply to Mr. Sergeant Sleigh, who said ho should . not cross-examine the witnesses on that occasion—the witness said Mr. Farrah wa3 a very respectable man, and had carried on the business of a stationer for a number of years. Sir T. Henry said the inspector had explained the pro ceedings at the draw, :so it would not be necessary to go through that part of the case again on that occasion. Mr. Poland said he proposed to call another witness, who could speak to the proceedings at the Andover-road. William Palmer, a sergeant in the detective force, said on the 25th February I purchased five tickets for the Liverpool Grand National at Farrah's shop in the Strand. I also purchased a ticket for the Grand National at the Bedford Arms, as stated by the previous witness. I after wards went up stairs and was present when the draw took place. Inspector Clarke has correctly described the matter. On the 3d of March 1 went to Farrah's shop in the Strand and there purchased the result-sheet now produced. It gives the result of the Liverpool Grand National, and advertises the particulars of the next great race. I found that the ticket I had bought at the Bedford Arms had become a 10s. prize, but I Wil.3 not aware of that when I was in the room. On the Bth of March I went to the house in the Andover-road, knowing the prizes were to be distributed. I weut into the club-room about seven o'clock, and found Morris, Clayton, Daniel, and Walker there, and also about 40 prize holders. The four defendants were behind a table ; they had a quantity of money in hags. Morris was sitting down at the table, and Clayton sat opposite hire. Walker and Daniels were standing up. Walker called out, "First prize," and a person wont up to the table and presented a ticket to Morris, who handed it to Cleyton. Having looked at it, ho said "All right," and then Walker and Daniels paid the money £lO5, which consisted of cheques, notes, and gold. The ticket handed in was one of the ordinary brown tickets. Sir T. Henry—Was that for a £5OO prize? Witness—Yes, Sir Thomas; but it was stated that 4,000 tickets had not been sold. Sir T. Henry—Quite so; but it would be well to know the deduction made. Witness continued-1 spoke with the winner of the £lOO prize for an hour before he got the money. He lives, I believe, at Walworth. All the other prizes were similarly paid, and then the prizeholders were asked to put something into a bowl for the boys who had drawn the prize. The boys were not present. Tickets were afterwards sold in the room for the Great Northampton shire S;akee. Small prizes were not paid at the time the large ones were. The small prize that the ticket I had taken was paid at Florence Cottages by a little girl. She paid me 9s. in ailver from a bowl. Whilst I was there I purchased five books,land I also saw other persons buying tickets. I also on the same day, fho 12th March, bought some tickets at Clayton's shop. On the 13th I weut to the defendant Farrah'e shop, and purchased of the shopman three tickets for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes. I have also purchased some tickets for the Deptford Spec. at the George public-house, George-court, Strand. On the Bth of March I afterwards went with Sergeant Sunerway to the Selhurst Arms, Selhurst-road, Norwood. Th e draw for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes was to take place that night. Thore were about 60 to 70 persons in the club-room amongst them the defendants, with the excep iion of Leishman. Morris read from a paper the amount of the draw. There were two large wheels of fortune in the room. I left Sunerway to watch the proceedb gs. On the 16th of March I purchased another result sheet, of the draw for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes, and the particulars at the top relate to the City and Suburban. On the 23d of March I went to Florence Cottages, and saw Leishman and some of the other defendants there. I bought five tickets for the:City and Suburban,with 75,000 subscribers. Mr. Poland—Can you say how many tickets were seized at Florence Cottages? Witness-1 should say half a million at least. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—Everything seemed to be con ducted in a business-like and honest way. Witness—Yes, it appeared so. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—You will accept bail for the de fendants? Sir T. Henry—Yes, it's a bailable offence. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh said the defendants were not like a number of " speculators" who were at one place to -day and gone to-morrow, and therefore he hoped the bail would be moderate. Sir T. Henry—Yes ; two bail of £5O each, and their own recognizances of £lOO each. Bail was then tendered and accepted for the whole of the defendants. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh -There is another matter, Sir Thomas, I wish to ask you about. Sir T. Henry—ls it the money ? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—You can make an order about it. Sir T. Henry--To whom is it to be returned? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—The defendants, I take it, most undoubtedly, that they may honourably discharge their engagements to the prizeholders. Sir T. Henry—But I don't see that I have the power. I don't think I have. The money is in safe keeping-- (laughter) —and I have no power to give it up. Mr. Poland—Oh, yes, the police will keep it quite safe until the day of the trial. The defendants were then remanded until Thursday week. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITT, Two O'CLOCK.

There is an ad vance upon last night's close of in Egyptian (1864), the Railway Debentures and the Nine per Cent. Bonds ;ofj in the Tobacco Loan, and in Charkof of Portuguese. English Railway Shares are dull, with one or two exceptions. Midland, however, shows a fur ther recovery of I, being dealt in at 114 k to 115 f. In Telegraph Shares the only movement is an improvement of in Auglo-American, which is quoted at 22i to 22i. Bank Shares are quiet.

There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The Portuguese Loan for a net sum of 4 mil lions sterling, concluded by Messrs. Frubling and Goschen, cannot be introduced before the begin ning of next month, as the Cortes, whose sanction is required, do not meet until the 26th instant. It seems to be expected that this Loan will be in Six per Cents. Messrs. Fruhling and Gosehen are stated to have pursued the honourable course of stipulating for a settlement of the claims of the bondholders of the South-Eastern of Portu gal Railway as au essential condition of the trans action. The letters from Frankfort state that a reaction seems now to have fairly set in at Vienna, where the premiums on all the extravagant undertakings of the past few months are fast disappearing. At Frankfort, however, there is still a plethora of money, and United States Bonds have been again in demand. At the liquidation last week all kinds of stock were carried over at the rate of 3} per cent., while on Austrian -French railway shares specula tors for the fall had to pay a bonus.

The Stock Exchange Committ eehave appointed Thursday, the 22d inst., a special settling day in the scrip of the Five per Cent. Debentures of the Victorian (Australia) Railway Loan. The consi deration for an appli ca ti on for official quotation is deferred. The committee have ordered the shares of the Anglo-Argentine Mining Company (Limited) to be in irked in the list. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of £3,407, compared with the corresponding week of last year, which Was Easter week ; and the South Eastern a decrease of £GOS. The traffic return of the Great Western Itailwa3 of Canada for the week ending the Pith instant shows an increase of £751 over last year.

SL Albans.., 17 A SILVER WEDDING. —Twice in their married existence, here in England where they have be en long since naturalised, a French man-of-letters and his wife have signalized their connubial happiness in a rather remarkable manner. Once, it was by the acceptance of a flitch of bacon. And, now more recently, it was by the celebration of their Silver Wedding. Fourteen years ago the old English custom of Dunmow was revived at the instance of Harrison Ainsworth. And, from the hands of that romancist, the Flitch, after a century, during which that cus tom had fallen into disuetude, was received by the Chevalier de Chatelain "et sa chatelaine." This was in 1855, after they had been married for some thing like 13 years most happily. Now, in 1869, on the 12th of March, having completed the 25th year of their married life, the Chevalier de Chatelain and his wife appear to have assembled their friends around them at their residence, here in London, viz.—Cas telnau Lodge, Warwick-crescent, Westbourne-park road, for the purpose of celebrating, by a Fancy 8.11, and with all due ceremonial, their Silver 'Wed ding, Les Noces D'Argent, Silberne HuckzAit. A vivacious account of the entertainment ii given under the pseudonym of the ghost of Mr. Samuel Pepys (two hundred years ago of the Admiralty) in the columns of last Saturday's number of the Courier de l'Europe. Reading it, one's wish not un naturally is, that five-and-twenty years hence, the Silver may have ripened into a Golden Wtd Brevet Col. Shaw, of the Royal Artillery, who was appointed a member of the Ordnance Select Committee about 12 months ago, with the under standing that he would continue in the office for five years, has been suddenly informed that his ser vices as such are no longer required, and he will have to revert to his military duty ; but as this officer was placed on the Seconded List of the Royal Artillery at tho time of the appointment, he will have to wait for a vacancy to occur before his name can be - placed upon the Active list of the regiment again. IMPERIAL FARLIATIEN T HOUSE OF 'LORDS—Mrs EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRWARDE moved the second reading, the object of which was to provide that in future leases should be in writing, and that after 1871 all leases by pa ro l e s h ou ld b e void. lie thought the greatest benefit would result from the passing of the bill. Earl GRANVILLE oppod su ffici e n t otion as he did not think that the bill was at allto settle what was popularly known as the land question. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMAIONS.—Trus EVENING. The SPEAKER took ilia chair at 4 o'clock. THE MET I, 9POLITAN ASYLUM. Mr. TURRENS gave notice that on an early day tie should ask a question relative to the proceedings which took place et the laying of the foundation stone of the Metropolitan Asylum at Caterhatn ; and also he should want to know out of which feu' the sumptuous breakfast supplied on the occasion was to he d leayed.

Mr. GRANT DUFF' said it was quite true that the Crocodile did come house from Malta without troops, but we know nothing of Vie applic 'Lion of General Lysome and other officers for a passage in her homeward voyage. If the application had been made in the proper quarter he had no doubt it would have at once b eau granted. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Collins, said the answer to the question, whether in the eveat of the dis establishment of the Irish Church bishops, priest; and deacons, who had or might be ordained, would be enabled to hold preferment in the Established Church in. England, must nut be cousickred final. With respect to those already ordained, he did not think theta could be any doubt, as they were to be necured the right to all privileges for employment elsewhere. With respect to those to be ordained, he was not so clear, but all doubt in the matter should be cleared up before the bill was completed. SIR CULLING EARDLEY. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Schofield, said that the statements that had appeared in the newspapers with re spect to the release of Sir Culling Eardley were without foundation. His predecessor in office had received em ap plication for the remission of the sentence after the pri soner had undergone some part of his 18 months' punish ment on the ground that further confinement would, be dangerous to life. A very strict inquiry was made into the representations made to the Home-office by Mr. Perry, and he, finding that the prisoner was suffering from asthma and bronchitis, and also other diseases, and being of opinion that further confinement would be highly dangerous to life, his hon. friend granted a remission of the sentence on the condition that within fourteen days after leaving prison Sir Culling Eardley should quit England for the remaining term of his sen tence and not return until it had expired. When he, Mr. Bruce, came into office an application was made to hint to allow a longer time than fourteen days to pre pare, and eventually he granted another fourteen days, when Sir Culling Eardley left England, and he be lieved he was still out of the country. He could assure the house his right hon. friend the First Lord of the Ad miralty never in the slightest manner urged or asked for a remission of the sentence of Sir Culling Eeardley. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HARDY confirmed the statement of the right hon. gentleman. The right hon. gentleman the First Lord of the Admiralty never in any way asked for a departure from the course ordinarily pursued, and Sir Culling Eardley was treated just the same as any other prisoner. THE NEW LAW COURTS. On the moti on for the house going into committee, Mr. GREGORY rose and moved that, in the opinion of the house, it was desirable to reconsider the question of Carey-street as the site for the new law courts, inasmuch as the Embankment between the Temple and Somerset House offered many advantages for erecting such buildings. He contended that the erection of the new courts on the Carey-street site would be a great mistake, and that it was advocated but by a comparative few interested persons living about Lincoln's-inn. The Thames Du mont offered facilities that made it most eligible for the purpose he proposed, and, compared with those offered by Carey street with its want of proper approaches, it stood out most remarkably. Iu point of expense, the buildings might be put on the Thames Etn bankment and all the approaches made for a sum of no less than £1,650,000 below that of Carey-street, and with respect to the land so cleared, he was in possession of information which was to the effect that there was a perfectly solvent number of ' gentlemen who were quite ready to take it off the hands of the Government at the price paid for it. (Hear, hear.) If the now buildings were placed on the Thames Embankment, the Carey -street site would, at once become highly valuable for the erection of chambers and other offices, so that no loss would be sustained by the alteration. If the Carey -street site was persevered in no less than £700,000 would have to be laid out in the purchase of additional land; .ClOO,OOO would have to be given for the Law lustitution, and altogether an enormous outlay would have to be made, and after all they would get a large pile of builings, but without the con venience that the Tortmes Embankment site offered. Ile thought it would be most beneficial to the legal' pro fession that the Carey -street site should be occupied by eh tnthers, by which arrangement all the lawyers could:be within bell-pall of the now Law Cours But there were a few persona whose interests the alteration of the site did not suit . ' and the gro. t t out cry against Vie. Thames Embankment was maintained and kept up solely by them. (LEFT SFEAKING.
