1 . 2"1 7 NEW 8. t S i 144 CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The public markets for foreign and colonial pro duce have been closed since Thursday last for the Easter holidays, but they have reopened to-day. Tea has continued dull, but few dealings have been recorded by private contract. Sugars have sus tained their previous value, and a good demand has been experienced for coffee, rice, and cocoa. The transactions in saltpetre have been unimportant, With no alteration to report in prices ; and the tallow market has been dull, very little speculative business having been entered into for forward delivery ; prices, however, have not shown any material change. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted at 5 63. to 565. 3d., and for last three months 525. per cwt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a Moderate amount of business was transacted, but Prices had a downward tendency. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. No alteration of importance is exhibited in the state of the Money Market, beyond a quieter tone, resulting from the dividend payments. The quo tations remain unchanged, the enquiries are nume rous, and the dealers conduct their operations with almost as much reserve as before. This extreme cau tion is attributable to the limited supplies now available, and to the impression that the market will retain a stringent appearance, in spite of a little temporary relief that may be afforded by the dividends. Besides, it is borne in mind that in addition to £2,650,000 Victoria Railway bonds, there are other engagements due within the next few weeks which exceed the aggregate amount to be released in shape of the half-year's interest on the New Threes, Reduced Annuities, &c. A small quantity of gold, viz., £lO,OOO, was Withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exporta tion, the supplies in the market having been ex hausted. There has been very little variation to-day in the English Stock Market, but the tendency has been rather more favourable. At first a little depression Prevailed, but a slight advance has occurred. Con sols, which have been 941 1 for transfer, and 944 for account, are now 941 a and 941 respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 921 93 ; the New 21 per Cents. are 781 79; Bank Stock is firmer at 226 ; India New Loan is steady a t 1041 105; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 981 ti ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto at 104 ; and the Debentures ' have improved to 97. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is rather quieter, but prices in most instances are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 79 to 799; ditto New, 611 to 62; Russian 3 per Cents. have improved to 641 ; Mexican, to 211 d ; Sardinian, to 83; ; Spanish 3 per Cents. to 44; and ditto Deferred, to 344 35. The Oeean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 I prem., and the Universal ditto, -! prem. Increased buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, most of the principal lines being at a further improvement of about g to 1 per Cent East Anglian have advanced ss. ; Great Wes tern, Brighton, North- Western, South - Western, Midland, and South-Eastern, 10s. ; North-Eastern (Berwick), and North-Eastern (York), 15s. ; Bris tol and Exeter, and Caledonian, £1 ; and Great Northern, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1 10s.

NEWMARKET, MONDAY NIGHT. The racing season may now be said to have fairly commenced. There was a good attendance of book makers on the course, and the absence of some of the principal backers of the favourites for the Two Thousand Guineas was the subject of general re mark. Umpire, who for a long time was under sus picion, has pleased the cognoscenti so well that he has been again installed first favourite for the Derby; but I would advise the readers of The Sun not to touch him except for hedging purposes. He is an overrated horse, and ought to be among the 40 to 1 division. The horse that will most likely win the Derby of 1860 is The Wizard, and if I couple him with Nutbourne and Mainstone, I do not think I shall have cause to regret my choice. The only noteworthy occurrence to-day was the defeat of Fravola for the 25 Sovs. Sweepstakes, and the easy victory of Thunderbolt. The partisans of Richmond received a heavy blow and sore discouragement by his defeat for the £5O Sweepstakes. On Wednesday, the Column Stakes ought to be won by The Leprochaun or Sagitta. Ardour seems the best for the Selling Stakes. On Thursday Mr. Merry ought to pocket the 100 Soya. Sweepstakes by one of his pair. Sabreur ought to carry off the Produce Stakes, and Plum Pudding the Hurstbourne. Promised Land ought to beat North Lincoln in the Claret Stakes; and Little Lady should win the Two-year old Sweepstakes. Red Rock looks well for the Rowley Mile Sweepstakes. If Thormanby enter an appearance against Thunderbolt, there will be an interesting race ; but it is hardly likely Mr. Merry will pull him out, and in that case I will give the preference to Thunderbolt over all comers. Feodorowna and Sparrow Hawk have the best of it in the Free Handicap ; and Philomela, Apollo, and Postage should win their respective matches. At the present time I would recommend an invest ment on Yoicks for the City and Suburban, and Professor Dick for the Metropolitan Handicap. Catterick Bridge races commence to-morrow, and bid fair to retain their popularity in the West Riding. As many of the horses entered for the various races are also engaged at Newmarket, it would be useless to make a guess at the probable winners. The racing for this week will be wound up by the Thirsk meeting, w hi c h t a k es pl ace on Friday and Saturday next. A FRESH MAN. 1.1118 DA rs MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

PROPOSED MINERS' PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION. — A meeting of delegates from various collieries was held at Seton Delaval on Saturday, to consider th e propr i e t y o f proceeding at once to the establishment of the Miners' Pro vident Association. About 60 delegates w ere present, as well as other persons who did not attend as representatives. A very useful discussion took place, after which a resolution was passed agreeing to the project, but the rules were left for discussion in committee at the various collieries repre sented. The best possible feeling prevailed, and the institu tion seemed never in so fair a way to become endued with vitality as at the present moment. —Newcastle Chronicle.

Part I. Bentley. The letters of Horace Walpole being among the most famous epistolary productions in our language, have no need of criticism. We have only to say that the new edition which Mr. Bentley is bringing out is of excellent type, handsome size, and good paper, and admirably adapted to those who wish to possess themselves of this celebrated correspond enco without making a great and immediate outlay. The edition is to be brought out after the fashion now so generally follcwed, in eighteen monthly parts, and will, when bound, be well suited for any library. Israel in the Past, the Present, and the Future. By T. Hutton, F.G.S., author of "The Chrono logy of Creation," &c. Allen and Co. This little volume consists of a series of lectures on the Restoration of the Jews, and, having reached a second edition, has found some favour with the public. It is written in a clear and able style, and passes in review the tenets of the Jews. The author considers that it is clearly proved by the testimony of Scripture that the promise of restoration was not held out to " the literal and natural Israel, but to the believing Jews and Gentiles over whom the spiritual reign of the Saviour was established." Without entering on these complex and difficult questions, we commend the work to those who in terest themselves in theological and controversial discussions as written with care and moderation, and bearing evidence of much thought and labour. The Consummation. By Thomas Hutton, F.G.S., Captain Bengal Army. Allen and Co. This work adds another to the many volumes that have been written in attempted explanation of the Book of Revelations. The writer disclaims having examined the Apocalypse with any inten tion of corroborating any particular theory of his own, which, he asserts, has often interfered with a correct explanation. We must confess that we do not consider works of this kind very profitable to either reader or writer. Many passages in the work in question express the author's conviction that all forms of faith now extant are false and idolatrous, and in one paragraph he expressly says that many existing doctrines " proclaim with trumpet tongue that we are still part and parcel of the idolatrous beast, and that our clergy are of that false prophet whose doom is the torment of the burning fiery lake." This condemnation is all co mprehensive as it is unsparin for he considers that a ll th e re li g i ons of the earthg, are to be corrupt until the time of final retribution. He has selected for his motto Oar Lord's words, " Ask and it shall be given you ; seek and ye shall find," Ecc.; but these words were not spoken of any interpretation of Scripture. There is another verse of the New Testament which might with ad vantage be borne in mind by all eager expositors of prophecy and foretellers of the "coming tribula tion." Christ himself warned his disciples against presumptuous inquiries. "It is not for you to know the times and the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power." Such subjects are best left in the darkness which envelopes them. If more attention were devoted to the diffusion of practical Christianity, and less to the discussion of these theological subtleties, there would be much gain to mankind at large and little loss to the lite rary world, by the direction of the time and talents bestowed on this unprofitable labour into more satisfactory and healthy channels. Italy in the Nineteenth Century. By the Right Hon. J. Whiteside, M.P., LL.D. New edition. Longman. This is an appropriate epoch for the appearance of a new edition of Mr. Whitcside's work on Italy, and to the general read 2r it will have lost nothing by being abridged from three volumes into one. The main object which the author originally pro posed to himself in its production was to supply a want, which he had himself experienced in travel ling, by furnishing a book that would touch on the " statistics, agriculture, law, history, justice,insti- . tutions, and politics" of the land, while lighter subjects were intermingled, and the wonders of art and nature were not forgotten. Those who have before possessed themselves of this work will re member that these anticipations were fully and fairly carried out, while those who have not perused it may avail themselves of so favourable an oppor tunity of procuring it, abridged and revised by the author. The preface gives a summary of the events of Italy since 1848, and the author's opinions of them. Whether or no the reader coincide in all the views expressed on the vexed questions of Italian politics, he can scarcely fail to be at tracted and interested by the general contents of this comprehensive volume. _RAILWAY IN7ELLIGENO.E. FIFE AND KINROSS. The half-yearly meeting was held at Kinross on th• 30th ult.—Sir G. Montgomery in the chair. The report stated that the revenue was almost the same as for the corresponding half-year, there being an increase on the passenger traffic and a de crease on the goods. Since the commencement of the current half-year there had been a considerable increase in the traffic generally, and the early open ing of the Kinross-shire Railway and the completion of the joint station, it was hoped, would lead to a traffic arrangement with the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, whereby the resources of the line would be more fully developed and the receipts considerably augmented. It was hoped that when an uninterrupted outlet to the west was obtained, by means of the Devon Valley Railway, the traffic of the line would be very materially increased. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr, WILLIAMSON, and agreed to. JEDBURGH. The half•yearly meeting was held at Jedburgh on Thursday ; Mr. Ord in the chair. The report, which gave it satisfactory statement of the condition of the Foe, and proposed a dividend of 3 per cent. (less income-tax), was unanimously agreed to. GREAT SOUTHERN OF INDIA. The report of the directors of this company states that during the last twelve months they have been actively engaged in forwarding the works, and so much progress has been made as to in duce an expectation that the first section of the railway from Negapatam to T r i c hi nopo l y may b e opened in the spring of next year. The directors have already forwarded th e p ermanen t- way mater i a l s for 50 miles of line, as well as a considerable portian of the materials for the rolling stock. They have contracted for the remainder on favourable terms, and shipped four locomotive engines. They anti cipate, therefore, that the whole of the materials required for the construction and equipment of the railway will have arrived in India by the end of the present year. Having adopted the system of constructing the railway under the superintendence of their own officers, the directors are now enabled to state, as the result of their experience, that the plan adopted has proved in every way satisfactory, both as regards economy and the substantial cha racter of works, The reports which the directors continue to receive fully confirm the expectations originally entertained on the subject of traffic, all the advantages of which will be secured to the share holder immediately on the opening of the first sec tion of the line. The cost of that section having been confined to £500,000, instead of £1,000,000, as specified in the company's Act of Parliament, it has become necessary to introduce a bill into Par liament for the purpose of enabling the company to exercise the borrowing powers upon the reduced capital. The bill also contains power to convert shares fully paid up into stoek. The report of Mr. M. Alr. Carr, the chief engineer, states that the sanctioned line from Negapatam t o Trichinopoly is 78 miles 42 chains in length, and is divided into four sections of nearly equal length. The line runs through paddy-fields for about 40 miles. These are mainly under water during five months of the year—from September to the end of January. The remainder of the line runs through dry cultivation and waste—the former for about 22 miles, the latter 16 miles. Mucb of this is also under water during the north-east monsoon, or from the middle of November to the end of January—two and a half months. In order to raise the line above the level of floods it is almost entirely on embank ments, and the average h e i g ht o f em b an k men t throughout is about six feet. The only cutting of consequence is at Tanjore, where a ridge of hard laterite runs across the course of the line. The greatest depth of this cutting is 27 feet. The gra dients of the line are very light, seldom ex ceeding 1 in 500, an d never more than lin 240. Th e li ne i s one on w hi c h the heaviest amount of traffic may be worked with compara tively light eng i nes . Th er e are eight stations intervals of the line—three eight mileapart, two at of nine mil es eac h, one 10 miles, one 14 miles, and one 20 miles. The capital account to the 31st o f December last shows that £18 5 , 385 had been re ceived, and £120,626 expended, leaving a b a l ance of £64,759. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN COLNSHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from January 1 to April I, 1860, amounted to £76,463, as against WIS DAY.)

SPAIN AND MOROCCO. A letter from Tetuan, dated March 25th, says —The most severely contested and, as it has proved, the decisive and final action of the Spanish cam paign in Morocco, was fought the day before yes terday. Of the bare facts of what has occurred, of the battle, the Moors' courageous defence, their final complete defeat, the heavy loss of the Spa niards (larger than has been admitted by official returns to have been suffered in any other action of this war), of the renewed negotiations, and the final signature of peace by Marshal O'Donnell and Muley Abbas, you will already have received tidings. At four o'clock on the morning of the 23d inst., the diuna sounded in the streets of Tetuan and in the camps in front and rear of the city ; tents were struck, mules loaded, and before six the whole Spanish army, between 20,000 and 25,000 strong, was in motion westwards. In Tetuan remained a slender garrison of barely 1,500 men ; the three forts near the sea, known respectively as Martin, Custom-house, and Star, were intrusted to the care of a small force of i n f antry of the line and of a few companies of the Basque contingent, besides the necessary artillerymen for working the guns. It was evident the General-in -Chief expected to have occasion for every man he could muster. The action commenced at a short leagu e from Tetuan ; the ground where it terminated, and where the Spaniards encamped, is about Weague further off. The river Guad el Jelu, or Martin, changes its name in more than one place, and at a league and a half from Tetuan, where it makes an abrupt turn to the right and crosses the road under a bridge, it is known as the Guad el Ras. The road to Tan gier is rather more like a road than the imperfect tracks which generally bear that name in this country. The positions successively held and aban doned by the Moors on the line of advance of the main body of the Spanish army were of an advanta geous nature, a series of hills partially covered with brushwood with here and there a dollar, or hamlet, of the poor huts the rural population herabouts in habit. To give you a correct detailed account of the action is scarcely possible, owing to the extent of the ground over which it was fought, and because it was in great measure a collection of desultory combats. The plan of the Moors was evident enough. They are, as you know, but poor tacticians, and judging, it may be supposed, of others by themselves, they imagined that the Spaniards would advance along the valley without guarding the lofty and extensive heights upon their right. Thither, however, General Rios betook himself, and soon became aware of the presence of a large force of the enemy, estimated at about 12,000 men. While that general, making a wide circuit checked the advance of this left wing, Eehague, Prim, and a small portion of the 3d corps, were fighting their way along the lower ground and over the hills that diversified it. The most severe conflict was after the passage of the river, where the Moors held very strong positions opposite to the Spanish left. Here the army changed its front about their quarters to the left, and Prim attacked a village in which the Moors had established themselves in great force, and where they made a most obstinate resistance. A charge of cavalry directed against it proved, as might have been expected, utterly fruitless, and was repulsed with the loss of about 80 men and horses. Twice was the village taken and retaken, until at last the Spaniards permanently occupied it. There can be no question that the Moors fought on Friday , better than they have ever yet done in this cam paign. Their leaders had found means to inspirit them, notwithstanding their many previous defeats, to redeem which they made a desperate effort. Fresh troops had evidently been brought up from remote parts of the empire. The black cavalry were there in force, and displayed great intrepidity. There were several hand-to-hand conflicts, in which bodies of Moorish infantry boldly attacked Spanish battalions. In one instance a mere handful of men rushed fearlessly upon the Spanish line, dying upon the bayonets, but not until some of them had ac tually penetrated the battalion. Wherever there was a position favourable to the irregular mode of fighting of the Moors, these stubbornly defended it, and were more than once driven out only at the point of the bayonet. Doubtless, the leaders were for some time in hopes of their fire being responded to by that of the force which had been sent along the heights to get into the Spanish leer, but to which Rios opposed a barrier. 0 wing to the nature of the ground, and to avoid being himself outflanked by the large body of the enemy he encountered, Rios had to make a very wide circuit, and the Moors, seeinb this, attempted to push in between him and the main body of the army, and to turn the flank of the latter. They were repulsed, and after that, as already mentioned, the principal contest was on the left. From ridge to ridge, from one captured position to another, the Spaniards at last came in sight of the Moorish camps, These were three in number, and great hopes were entertained that, as on the ith of February, they would become the prize of the victors. But the enemy had profited by ex perience, and no longer entertained a blind confi dence in their power of successfully defending any position. With extraordinary celerity their camps were raised. It is true that they are not generally encumbered with much baggage, and most of them had probably little to transport beyond their can vas dwellings and a few old clothes and blankets ; nevertheltss the rapidity of the operation was sur prising. A staff officer, who was observing and sketching, assured me that not more than 10 or 12 minutes elapsed from the time when every tent was standing to the moment when the last had disappeared. Soon after four o'clock all was over, and nearly the last shots fired w ere b y the two batteries of field artillery at the dispersed Moorish cavalry. After half-past four no more shots were heard, and this is worthy of note, as showing how completely the Moors must have considered the game up and have felt themselves proportionately disheartened, for in previous actions (except in one or two, when heavy rain seemed to have the effect of rendering in variably, even fire arms unserv i cea bl e ) th e y have even after they felt themselves beaten, kept up skirmishing until dark. The killed were nume rous, the wounded much more so, but the hurts of many of the latter were slight, and at. least 200 or 300 were able to walk back to Tetuan, and the next day to the seashore for embarka tion. There was considerable loss of officers, as usual, in this war. All the commanding officers of C'a:culeres, light infantry battalions, en gaged were hit. The heaviest loss (about one-half of the whole) fell upon Prim's corps, which was the most engaged ; Echague's troops had nearly 300 killed and wounded, including 3 colonels or lieu tenant-colonels a n d a b ou t 30 officers. The official return gives 7 officers and 130 men killed, 97 officers and 1,026 men wounded. General A lca ly le Galiano, comman di ng th e cavalry, was slightly wounded. Colonel Jovellar, of the head-quartershe total staff, received a ball through the arm. loss is 1,260 killed and wounded , b ut a lar g e pro portion of the wounds are of lit tl e l e importance, those who have recei v ed them w ill be a to their duty in two o r three weeks. blet oreturn and in Manchester, an d who g 'me e wholes a l e m illi nery Good Friday aft ernoon, a very melanchol y accide nt occured MELANCIIOL Y BOAT ACCIDENT AT w Y m O n ß an ii: d na ---,n hs n ho e os a pe r wp l ao ' rrn o e r na k nts . irne A s tdh y e o esta bli s h m ent of Mr. Purdy, of Y or k ; J a b ez Davies a c lerk to Mr. M'Cullock, coal agent to th e G rea t N or the rn C On la t r h ah e aisiaamc river acted Ouse, o nsd a, s w Railway; and Jonas Smith, in the service of the North- Eastern Railway Company, hired a boat at King's Staith, for the purpose of proceeding up the river. Davies took the oars, Miss Hampson sat near the stern of the boat, and Smith sat behind her for the purpose of steering. After the party had reached the curve of the river, near the Water works, about a mile and a half from the place where they had started, Smith, at the request of Davies, rose for the pur pose of having a turn at the oars. As he was passing up the boat his foot caught in Miss Hampeon's dress. The young lady immediately arose to her feet, when the boat becoming suddenly overbalanced, Smith fell backwards in the water, followed by Miss Hampson. The latter, in her struggles in the water, seized the former by the throat, and they went to the bottom together. Smith, however, by some means liberated himself, and on rising to the surface the second time, was saved by Davies. Miss Hampscn was only seen once after she first sank, and, about an hourafter wards, was taken out a corpse. At the inquest on Saturday, it was stated that only a few minutes before the fatal occur rence, whilst joking with her companions, Miss Hampeon had remarked, " If I should fall overboard, I should not drown on account of my crinoline." A verdict of " Acci dental death by drowning" as returned. THE _NAVY. The Dee addle steamer, Master Commande Pullen, sailed p from Portsmouth yesterday f or Wool wich.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 9. The court-martial held on board the Victory, to try Lieut. G. S. Graves, of her Majesty's sloop Siren, on various charges, re-assembled this morning. The evidence with regard to the first charge—that of behaving with contempt to the commander, was most frivolous in its character, and the charge was not substantiated. In reference to the second, Mr. Eversfield, the paymaster, denied that the ptisoner had used the language imputed to him, viz., " I would not stand it, Eversßeld, if I was you ; I would write to the Commander-in -Chief about it ;" and with regard to the language which it was stated the prisoner had used to Lieutenant Lewis, viz., " You have eaten dirt," he said in his defence that the observation was made privately in the ward room, in a jocular manner, and he did not expect that it would be mad• the subject of inquiry by a court-martial. As to the third charge, he did not deny having used the words which it was alleged he had spoken to the several seamen, viz., " Why don't you run ?" but inasmuch as the date was not fixed he could not recollect the circumstances under which he used them. As to the fourth charge, the petty officers to whom it was alleged ho had be havedin a cruel and oppressive manner, by causing them to be lashed to spars or gratings, were habitual drunkards, violent when drunk, and he adopted that course in order to prevent them from sustaining injury, and not as a punishment. The court, having deliberated, was of opinion that the first and fifth charges (the latter that of bringing false and frivolous charges against the commander) had not been proved, and acquitted him of the same. The court was further of opinion that the second, third, and fourth charges were partly proved ; but, taking into consideration the long confinement already undergone by the prisoner (who was in June last ordered to be placed under arrest on his removal from the sick list), and the imperfect man ner in which the three last-mentioned charges had been brought before the court with respect to names and dates, the court only adjudged Lieu tenant Graves to be severely reprimanded ; and re primanded him accordingly. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has announced his intention of making an inspection of the whole of the troops now quartered at Chatham garrison this morning. The review will take place on Chatham lines, where the entire force of the gar rison will be drawn up to await the arrival of his Royal Highness.

The men, who are chiefly y oung recru i ts, an d have joined their respective depots within the past 12 months, passed through their exercises in a satis factory manner. Major-Gen. Sir J. Y. Scarlett,K.C.B., Adjutant- General of the Army, and late Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, has given orders for the erection, at his own private cost, of a handsome drinking foun tain over a celebrated spring on Southsea-common —the exercising ground of the troops of the garri son, and the favourite summer promenade of the civilians—as a testimonial of his fi clings and good wishes towards the inhabitants generally, engen dered during the period of his command, Intelligence having been received that the 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment has been despatched from Poonah to China, orders have been received at, the depot, Chatham Garrison, for 102 non-commis sioned officers and men to be held in readiness to embark for China to reinforce the service companieF. The subalterns ordered to embark with the rein forcements are—Ensign I. Parsons and Ensign G. M. Lambert. The 31st depot at Chatham is up wards of 300 strong, and recruits are still joining. The service companies have been in India since 1853.

CRUELTY TO THE SHEEP IN liENSINGTON-GARDENS. Michael Casey, an errand boy, was charged before Mr. Beadon with ill-treating the sheep in Kensington-gardens. Edwards, park constable 57, said that at half• past five the previous afternoon, while on duty in Kensington-gar dens, a gentleman came to him and told him that some boys were cruelly ill-treating some sheep, and on his going to the spot he found the prisoner and three others beating the sheep over their heads and legs with thick sticks in a very brutal manner. [The park-keeper here produced a thick rail which he took from the prisoner.] He managed to secure the prisoner, but the others escaped. It was a practice of daily occurrence, and many complaints were made of the conduct of the boys. Mr. Beadon said it was a monstrous and abominable practice, and he should do his utmost to stop it. He should therefore commit him for seven days with hard labour. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE HY A WOODEN -LEGGED MAN.—John Griffith, a wooden-legged man, was charged with assaulting Sergeant Appleton and a constable of the C division by striking them about the head with his fist, and also severely kicking them with his wooden leg while on the way to the station, using at the same time very bad language. Mr. Beadon said the prisoner had made use of that which was an object of pity (the prisoner being a crossing sweeper) as a weapon of offence against the police. He should com mit him for seven days. THAMES. THE IRRELIGIOUS DISTURBANCES IN VIE CILURCII OF ST. GEORGE'S-IN-TRE-EAST.—MORE LITIGATION. —This morning Mr. Charles Warren Adams, a very tall young gentleman, and a well-known partisan of the Rev. Bryan King, whose na me h a s b ee n frequently mentioned in con nection with the disturbances in the parish church of St. George's-in-the-East, applied tolMr. Selfe for a summons against Mr. William John Thompson, the senior church warden of the parish, for assaulting him on Sunday night. The applicant is the son of the late Mr. Sergeant Adams, for many years Assistant -Judge of the Middlesex and Westminster Sessions, and is an ardent advocate of High Church doctrine, better known as Puseyism. He was acco mpanied by the Rev. M r . D ove, one of the cura t e s of St. George's, who, it must be recollected, had to pay compensation to Mr. Herbert, the parish constable for assault, and injuring his leg, in the vestry of St. George's church, a few weeks since. Mr. Adams, in applying for the summons , said he had been grievously assault e d b y th e churchwarden. On Sun day evening he was standing at the altar rails of the church endeavouring to prevent a disorderly mob from entering the altar, when Mr. Churchwarden Thompson, at the head of several persons, came towards him, collared him, pulled him off the steps, shoved him along, and kickod him, and then gave him into the custody of Button, the parish beadle, who escorted him some distance from the altar and then released him. Mr. Selfe—You are entitled to a summons. The summons was made out. The churchwarden who was unanimously re-elected by the vestry on Good Friday, and who has been complimented by the magistrates of this Court for his impartiality and discrimination in the course of the unhappy disturbances will be defended, at the ex pense of the parish, by Mr. Howell, the vestry clerk.
