From the evidence it appeared that a quantity of sacks of oats were placed on board the barge Robert, at Shad Thames, from which 8 sacks were abstracted, which were ultimately found in another barge, which the prisoners had charge of.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.: BOW-STREET. POLICE SEIZURES IN HOLYWICLL-EVEREIZT o —ThiS morn ing Superintendent Durkia, of the F division, produced an immense quantity of pictures, photographic slides, books, &c., which he had seized in Holyvrell-street, Strand, and the keepers of the shops were in attendance to answer the summons which had been served upon them for selling them. Mr. Metcalfe attended, cn the part of the Treasury, to prosecute. Inspector Webb said—On Friday last I entered the pre mises occupied by the defendant, 38, Holywell-street, and told him I had authority to search his house for a quantity of obscene books and pictures. I found those which I now produce. Mr. Henry—They are of a most disgusting character. I shall order them to be destroyed within seven days from the present time; but in the event of any objection being taken to that course by the defendant I shall send the wise to the sessions. Hay acquiesced in the order fer the destroying the pik tures. George Clements, of Queen-street, was then called upon to answer a summons for a like offence. Inspector Fermin of the A reserve force, said—l entered the defendant's shop on Friday last and found the photo graph slides and pictures now on the table of the court. I told the defendant he would have to answer a summons for disposing of such property, when he replied that the sli dos were not his property, but had been left in his care b; y a foreigner, but the prints seised he considered did not co , me within the meaning of the term obscene. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the defendant, said—l dc think the prints can be considered obscene. They are s old for the purposes of artistic study, and not to gratify an impure taste. I have seen many much more " obscene" productions in many a gentleman's picture-gallery. Mr. Henry—Surely, Mr. Lewis, you don't mean to c =- tend they are not obscene ? Mr. Lewis—lf you, sir, are of opinion that they are; I shall not dispute it ; neither shall I object to their being destroyed. Mr. Henry—l think they are indecent, and I order them to be destroyed within seven days. Charles Stephenson was then called on to answer a si,tni lar summons. Police-constable 25, of the F division, said I have beien unable to serve the summons on Stephenson. I have been to his shop in Holywell-street, and also to another he keep o in Frog-lane, but cannot find him. He seems to hav e quitted both places. Mr. Henry—Very well. I ordered the pictures seized upon his premises to be destroyed. Edwin Drash and Mary his wife wero summoned for a like offence. Mr. Wood appeared for the defendants. Inspector Felton, of the F division, said I went to 115, Holywell-street, on Friday, and entered the shop and s the female, who gave the name of Mary Dresh, the wife of Edwin Dresh. On searching the house I found the obscene pictures and books I now produce. Mr. H. Wood—l shall not ask the witness any questions. I have seen one of the books and pictures. I cannot offer any objection to their being destroyed. With regard to some of the books, I submit they ought not to be so severely dealt with. The contents are of a very vague description. Mr. Henry—l think they all come under the description of being indecent. Mr. Wood—Then I shall make no objections to their being burned. I don't think, however, you can condem n the "letters," as they are called, as being indecent. I thin k they are a great benefit to mankind in general. Mr. Henry—Do you think it decent to discuss dud question ? Mr. Wood—Not if you are of a contrary opinion. Mr. Henry—l am most certainly. I order all to be &a storyed ; but the police had better retain a small specim e n of the things purchased in ease it should be thought advii,s able to proceed by indictment against the different parties..

ASSAULTS, &c., BY GENTLEMEN.—Mr. Frederiiek Keates, of Brazier's-park, Wallingford, Berks, lieutem Lilt in militia, and Mr. William Winwood Reade, 12 A, Mt ur garet •street, author, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhi tt with being drunk and disorderly, and Keates furthe charged with assaulting Sergeant Yeater, 4 C, and Alfre Austin, 318 A. Sergeant Yeater said that at 5 o'clock this morning l e saw the two defendants in Arundel-court, very druril r, trying to force their way into a publichouse. He spok e to Keates, requesting him to go away, when he struck hip n o blow in the eye. He took hold of Keates, and the (Alm T (Reade) then seized hold of him (the sergeant), and said 12 e should not take him to the station. Another constable came to his assistance, and had his clothes torn by Keate . Keates said he did not think he hurt the constable-4 t was done in steadying himself. Reade said he saw the sergeant hit Keates right anal left, and it was then he interfered, but it was not to preven t his being taken into custody. He wished to know of the sergeant what he took him for. The sergeant said because he was drunk. He nev( n • struck Keates, and it required three constables to take the] 71 t into custody. A constable proved going to the assistance of the Ben geant, and having his coat and hat injured in a struggl4 which took place. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought it doubtful if Reade inter fered with the intention of breaking the law. It wfve proved that Keates struck the sergeant, and the upshot we that he would have to pay 10s. or 14 days, and 3s. damagN or 4 days more. Reade he should discharge. THAMES. MISAPPLIED BENEVOLENCE.—After Mr. Selfe had heal !'CI and decided upon numerous applications for warrants sm.( i summonses, advice, and assistance, he stated that he wishe Kl to call the attention of the representatives of the press 1S ) the case of a boy named Frederick, who had attempted t 4 commit self-destruction by throwing himself into the Lori. • don Docks, and to the man Emms, who was unjusay charged with participating in the murder of Mrs. Emsle:r , bailed on the first hearing of the case, and subsequent) y discharged. He had received two small sums, 25., fro on W. R., and ls. from a lady for the boy Frederick. He beggc r I leave to inform the donors that, - while fully appreeiatir kg their benevolent intentions, he must decline to appropria t these sums as desired. To do so would be simply to offer a premium on similar wicked attempts. He must also Io e excused from being the medium of conveying money to tl 1 , 0 man Emma, for whom a sovereign had already been fo r - warded from the frequenters of the Blenheim Tavern, S John's-wood. Emma was not in distress, and the fact of his having been subjected to an accusation on insufficiei a t grounds was hardly a good reason for making him a peci - niary recompense. If Emms was entitled to remuneratio: n , every man innocently charged with crime was entitled Ito compensation by public and private subscriptions. MIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

REPRESENTATION OF READING. —A SECOND CANDIDATE.—The electors of Reading wore somewhat taken by surprise on Saturday last, by th .e announcement that Captain Walter, brother to Mr. J. Walter, M.P. for Borks, intended to become a candidate for the vacant seat, as it was generally believed that Mr. , s e rgeant Pigott would be retuned without opposition. To-day (Wednesday) the New Common Law Procedure Act comes into operation, and will effect some considerable improvements at common law. It recites that it is desirable further to improve the process, practice, and mode of pleading in, and in some respects to enlarge the jurisdiction of , the su perior courts of common law. With regard to eject ments for a forfeiture for non-payment of rent or for non-insuring, the Court or a j udge is empowered upon a rule or summons to give relief in a sum mary manner, but subject to an appeal to the Courts of Error. A notice of appeal is to be a stay of execution, provided bail to pay the sum de manded and costs be given. On interpleader pro ceedings an interpleader may be granted, though the titles of the claimants to the money, goods, or chattels in question, or to the proceeds or the value thereof, have not a common origin, but are adverse to and independent one of another. The Court or judge may direct the sale of goods seized in execu tion, and in certain cases decide summarily. A special case may be stated, when the facts are un disputed, for the opinion of the Court. There are several provisions with respect to procedure and practice ; dower, writs of right of dower, and quare impedit are abolished as real actions, and are to be commenced by writ of summons. In pro ceedings to obtain an attachment of debts the judge may refuse to interfere where from the small ness of the amount to be recovered or of the debt sought to be attached or otherwise the remedy sought would be worthless and vexatious. Where a third person is alleged to have a lien he may be required to attend, and the judge may bar the claim and make an order as to the matter in dispute. Costs of writs of mandamus and injunction can new be included in the writs. " When the plaintiff in any action for an alleged wrong in any of the superior courts recovers by the verdict of a jury less than £5 he shall not be entitled to recover or obtain from the defendant any costs whatever in respect of such verdict, whether given upon any issue or issues tried or judgment passed by default, in case the judge or presiding officer before whom such verdict is obtained shall immediately after wards certify on the back of the. record, or on the writ of inquiry, that the action was not really brought to try a right besides the mere right to re cover damages, and that the trespass or grievance in respect of hich the action was brought was not wilful and malicious, and that the action was not fit to be brought." The other sections are of a practical character to carry out the Act, which Act, by an Order in Council, may be extended to other courts of record. Tills DAYS MARRETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The few samples of English wheat on offer in to-day's market were chiefly the refuse of Monday, and in very poor condition. They met a dull inquiry, at irregular quotations. Millers generally operated with extreme caution. Foreign wheat was in full average supply. Although the inquiry was somewhat restricted, importers were firm in their demands, and the quotations were supported. In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were less numerous. However, no change took place in value. All kinds of barley commanded a steady inqury, at very full prices. The malt trade was firm, but no change took place in the currencies. Oats sold at quite Monday's quotations, whilst beans and peas were very firm. There was only a limited demand for flour, at previous rates. The imports are large. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

GUMMING, Ye sterday:afternoon, at the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, Dr.:Crunming deli v€ red a lecture tea crowded audience, the subjectbeing The Destiny and Mission of England in the Prophetic Record." The Rev. JAmrs BARDSLEY, who pre sided, said that the visit of the lecturer to Manchester was in some way connected with the British Reformation So ciety, which had been formed in this country to counteract the principles and operations of the Church of Rome. The society had stationed two missionaries in Manchester, and had granted to the city the sum of £220 during the past year. He regretted that the income of the society from Manchester for the same period had only been £l2O, an anomaly which he hoped they would strive to remove. (Hear, hear.) Dr. CUMMING commenced by saying he attributed the interest evinced in the lecture to the two sermons he had delivered in the old monastic church of the Oratoire, in the Rue Rivoli, Paris, which had been placed at his disposal by the French National Church, with a feeling of sisterhood which all must admire in the descendants of the illustrious Huguenots. The subject of one of those sermons was the same as he had now chosen, and it excited a great deal of interest both amongst these who were polite enough to tell him that they desired to see the eagles of France shake their feathers in the winds of England, and amongst those who were proud to know that when the said eagles came there was mettle enough in the Volunteers of England alone to meet and repel the attack. (Cheers.) That sermon had been commented upon by the French papers, by those o MAIDEN PLATE. Burlesque colt 1 Molly filly Conundrum Nine ran. SELECT STAKES.

POISONING IN SUFFOLK.—A case of poisoning under somewhat remarkable circumstances is at present undergoing investigation by the coroner for West Suffolk. Mr. Nunn, a farmer of Genevieve, has in his service two persons named Hawkins and Curtis, the former in the capacity of farm bailiff, and the other a labourer. It would appear from the evidence that Hawkins had gone, by per mission, to a flour-bag in Curtis's house, for the purpose of borrowing some flour. On the following day, a pudding having been made by Curtis's wife of flour from the same bag, all of those who partook of it were taken ill, and one poor boy died soon after. Arsenic was discovered by the be surgeon to be the cause of death, and the difficulty to solved is how the poison came to be mixed with the flou r. Judging from what has transpired, it appears as if i t h_d been done deliberately and with a murderous des a ig% _ In the meantime an adjournment has taken place, to s aw d an opportunity of bringing forward further evidence. . FIRST FALL OF SNOW.—A writer in a contem fr.om Keswick porary mall :—" I came yesterday. morninq r b e y ac th hi e ng the co a a a c m h m to it m of ee th t e th hi e ll tr w at overlooks at lcer m th e er e plain On o o of theKeswick mail driverand the h eva immediatelyl vale o f b D o e e r r v w o fo e d n t o t h , em t m h o e ut ha p ti r n a hg c a t u m i v s e e s " Il y a e l in the appearance of Helvellyn, which then came in vi ew, had ascended Castle -hill and he exclaimed, "See yon—theiles s f ir on Helvellyn. ,, been mountain was oo Th o i s s id p e r r o a v b e l d e, tofobre othvilerocaguessed,sauayrfnldaoot covered. On the pre Rothwaite, in Borrowdale, and there encountered a sharp shower of rain and hail, accompanied with excessive cold; this, doubtless,. was the same fall which had covered the higher mountain, but converted into rain by the warmer temperature of the valley. This fact may be worthy of notice, as the driver informed me that it was on the 22d of October last year that he observed the first snow on Hel vellyn, and it was the 14th of June before the last vestig e h a d disappeared. This y ear it has made its appearance a fortnight earlier; let us hope that its duration will not be so long by some two or three niontlas.'. our own metropolis, and no doubt by the papers of this city, and thus had attained a notoriety. After the lecture in Paris, he was accosted by a gentleman who from his softness of tone and plausibility of manner he recognised as one of the celebrated brotherhood of Ignatius Loyola. This gentleman expressed a very significant opinion with regard to the Pope. He said if he were introduced to Ferretti (the original name of the Pope) he would shake hands with him, for a more benevolent and kind-hearted man never lived ; if he were introduced not to Ferretti but to Pio Nono, the holy father, the pontiff, the vicar of Christ, he would kneel down and with all his heart kiss his foot, as a reverence due to so august and exalted a personage ; but if he were introduced to the sovereign of the States of the Churoh, to the temporal ruler of the Marches, the Romagna b and Civita Vecchia, he would give him a black eye. (Laugh ter.) This was intensely Romish, and showed the exquisite dialectic subtlety which could divide the same personage into three pieces, to be so differently treated. He (the lecturer) disclaimed any pretensions to being a prophet er the son of a prophet. Ho tried to forthtell what the in spired prophets had written, and did not pretend to fore tell, which it would require him to be an inspired prophet to do. He always spoke of the great doctrines of Christi anity with unflinching dogmatism ; but when speaking of unfulfilled prophecy he spoke with the utmost reticence, modesty, and reserve, as of a subject on which he might be wrong. There was a glorious issue for this great land. He believed that England was not to go down amidst the wreck of nations ; that she was to be the Israel and Judea of Eur Ope itself, and that God had too great a design for her to accomplish—too sublime a mission to fulfil — ever to allow the " first isle of the ocean " to perish amid the awful convulsions which had now begun to agitate and terribly to shako the nations of the earth. No one could look abroad without seeing that we were rapidly drift ing into some new and unexperienced circumstances and situations. The state of Rome at present, as described by the Times correspondent, was a literal fulfilment of the pro phecy that " judgment shall sit to the end ;" and that of St. Paul, " I will consume it by my spirit." The whole of the city was going to ruin. He did not believe that the Popedom was to cease. The screams of the Pope for assis tance were piercing; his entreaties to those he had been wont to curse were eloquent and affecting ; he appealed to their selfishness and to their religion ; he heard the echo of his appeal, but rarely received an answer. Why was all this? The Popedom was not now to be destroyed; it was being "consumed," and at the close it would be utterly destroyed by the brightness of the Re deemer's personal arrival. Ile grounded the immediate subject of his lecture on the 18th chapter of Isaiah; and deduced therefrom that the nation spoken of as " scattered and peeled," was the Jewish nation. If asked to cast a glance over the area of Europe along the centuries that, like the corridors of a grand cathedral, were lost in the mist and midnight of. the past, what other nation would they select ? This nation was to be reinstated in their own land. For this they were a nation scat tered over every country, and held in mechanical solu tion amongst the Gentiles, but not in chemical solu tion ; they were insulated, disintegrated, and distinct. Russia and France were to be the great resistants to the accomplishment of the great promise of the restoration of the Jews to Palestine ; but a nation which he identified as England, and which was described in the chapter as "shadowing with wings," &e. was to present the offering to the Lord of Hosts in due season, and to be blest and owned of him because of so doing. The description of Tarshish, and the words of the 20th verse of the 66th chap ter of Isaiah, strengthen this impression. At the close of this economy which was rapidly rushing to its eve, and was perhaps nearer than some of them would dare to presume to predict, the Jews were to be restored to their own land. This was to occur in the fulness of the times. Let them mark the controversy that was gathering round Syria. Napoleon, that powerful and sagacious ruler, had a taste for annexation, and he would desire to annex Syria as a counter balance to our Indian possessions. There were 250,000 adherents of the Greek Church who were looking to the Czar as their head. These two powers were now in the neighbourhood of Syria, and whoever held that country possessed the key to all the East. England would never consent that either France or Russia should have it. If he could reach the ear of statesmen he would tell them that the issue of the complication and the settlement of the " situation" was to hoist the signal for God's ancient people to go home. As soon as the " sick man" died—and he was dying fast—England should say there shall be in the East and Syria, as in the West a Belgium, a neutral nation established, and thus the complication would be solved. In doing this she would only be fulfilling propheoy. He did not say that prophecy should be the rule of practice. Punch had said that he (Dr. Cumming) believed the world was coming to an end in 1867, and yet had taken the lease of a house for 21 years. (Laughter.) This was true ; but the well-known caricaturist had omitted to state the fact that the house could be given up at every seven years. (Laughter.) When he (Dr. Cumming) wanted to know his duty, he looked for the Divine commands ; when he wanted to know his prospects he consulted prophecy. The holiest place was the post of duty. The Bible and the Pro testant liberties of England were her mainstay, and he be lieved she would endure as a lighthouse for the guidance of other nations, and to accomplish the glorious destiny which ho believed was indicated in prophecy. (Cheers.) The proceedings closed with the singing of the doxology. ALLEGED MORTARA" CASE AT WAR WICK. On Saturday evening last some hundreds of people assembled in front of the residence of Mr. Norman, chemist and druggist, of Smith-street, Warwick, in consequence of a man named George Gates creating a great disturbance about Ann Gates, his daughter, who had been in the service of the former for some few months, It appeared that Mr. Norman was a Catholic, and Gates's daughter, who was between 15 and 16 years of age, having left him, Gates was under the impression that she had been sent to a convent. On Monday Mr. Norman applied to the Warwick bench for a summons against Gates, considering his life in danger from the threats made udse cf the previous Saturday, which was god girl, Mr. Norman said the girl was a very had not but was too young for his Service. lie I would good sent her to a convent, but as the .. gir I not go home Mrs. Norman had askingw rltle Servants' Home at Handsworth, that o she th e might remain there till she obtained her t o u w a n t i , accord.and thither she had s ubsequentlygo r n e which was read by Gates said the following letstiedinb ~,. magistrate, had W.

The letter concluded by some allusion to a favourite cat and jackdaw, and was written in a good hand. Gates acknowledged that the letter was in his daughter's handwriting,. and on being told that the case would be adjourned for a week he used a host of invectives against the Catholic religion, as being a most "disgusting " religion, and he feared his ►daughter would be ruined in the mean time. Mr. Greves, solicitor, of Stratford, who happened to be in court, said, " I think you know nothing about . it!' Some excitement will attend the hearing of the crtse on Monday next, as the clergy are said to have taken the matter in hand. —Birmingham Daily Pas:- A SILVER MEDAL has been awarded to Mr. Thorley for his famous Cattle Food ConJiraent.

During the past fortnight reports have been made at the Northern Post• office, Glasgow, of various thiefts and frauds having been committed, under circumstances of peculiar audacity, by a young female, 16 years of age, an account of whose depre dations we published a few days ago, so far as these were then known. The authorities no sooner re ceived information of the fair unknown's proceed ings than they set about trying to arrest the cu lprit, . but for a long time were unsuccessful, and was only on Friday last, after almost every expedient in the power of the detective to adopt had been tried, that a young female, answering the description which had been given, was found by Sergeant Pierce, of the Northern district, at a house in 26, Water-street. She gave her name as Jane Frame, sixteen years of age, and stated that the person with whom she was living was her mother. This the woman of the house admitted, but denied laving had any knowledge of, or participation in, the f rau d s w i th wh i ch her d aug ht er was charged. Since her apprehension, information has been lodged which swells the list of her delinquencies to 11 dif ferent cases, including those which had been re ported previously, and reveals the systematic scheme of barefaced fraud and deliberate plunder which in different girl h as f or a l engt h o f t i me b een practising different parts of the city, and out of it as far as Shettleston, but the mode is always the same as that described by us in our former notice. In the Shettleston case which occurrepdeoonte of thehe22d ult., she had introduced herself t o the pi house by presenting some orthodox religious tracts, a number of which she,always carried with her. She then explained that shewas a member ofMr. church in Bridgegate, Glasgow—enlarged, with genteel pronunciation and persuasive language, on the many advantages which weuld ac crue to them by becoming members,. also,. on e of which was, that they would participate in the benefits of a society connected with M. r. M'Coll is congregation, by whom she was appointed to dis tribute clothing to needy people—all which advan tages, temporal and spiritual, were to be put in their possession on payment Wier of 2s. each. She gained her point. Six shillings were handed to her by the inmates, three in number, and on r i s ing to depart she suggested that one of them, a girl named Elizabeth M'Fadyen, should accompany her to the city, to receive the cards certifying their ad mission to the church. This was agreed to, and the two set out. On the way, the artful Jane in sinuated that she was cold, and the artless Eliza beth immediately offered her her shawl, which was pronounced to be very acceptable. Having brought the deluded girl into the city, she left her standing in Canal-street, Port Dundas, till she went into some house for the purpose of getting [the cards regularly signed, pro- a ceeding up a close for said purpose, and, of course, forgot to bring either the cards, shawl, or herself back. The same arts were successfully practised upon a party in the house of Mrs. Mary M'Geechan or Hardy, 55, Cowcaddens-street, ls. having been obtained from that person, a like sum from Mrs. Catherine M'Donald or M'Luskie, and a semmet from another woman, the money paid being for entry to the church—the semmet to be returned with a similar one, new. In one case she got as much as Bs. from the inmates of one house. The f u ll ex t en t o f c l o thi ng w hi c h s h e h as received from time t o ti me canno t, o f course , b e ascertained, as some p ersons may h ave b een " diddled" who have not yet reported their cases ; but it is satisfactory to know that detec tive Joseph Bowker, of the Northern division, has succeeded in recovering all the articles stolen of which information has been given. After her arrest, Mr. M'Coll was communicated with, and, on seeing her, he of course said that all her statements about his church were untrue. He gave it as his opinion, however, that she must have attended some of his meetings, from the knowledge she displayed of them, and from her having named several ladies connected with them. The girl was brought up at the Northern Police court on Saturday, and remitted to the sheriff on the eleven different charges above-mentioned.— Worth British Daily Mail.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The favourable change in the weather, and the opening of the new West-end Ter minus (Victoria Station), has already had a beneficial effect upon the number of visitors, and with the special attrac tions announced will probably continue to do so. In de ference to the promoters of the Saturday half-holiday, Saturday next will be set apart for a shilling day. It is reported from Havannah that a president or • director of one of the banking institutions at that port has recently absconded with £240,000. STRANGE Bin TRUE.—One day last week a farmer in the neighbourhood of Callandar, while angling in the Teith, hooked a large pike, which with some trouble he succeeded in landing. He had laid it on the bank for dead, when his collie dog happening to brush past it, it caught him by the tail. The dog, howling with pain, plunged into the water in the direction of the farmer's house, the pike still retaining its hold, nor did it relinquish its hold until the dog had reached his master's farm-yard, when he was speedily relieved of his encumbrance. The . - -- pike weighed 211bs.—Alloa Journal. MIIED WOOD AND STONE PAVEMENTS.—When wood payments were first introduced in the streets of Lon don the weather was fine, and people thought that a new metropolitan luxury had been acquired. Everyone re joiced to see the cabs gliding so noiselessly along the the streets, like screw liners in smooth water, the conversa tion possible to be sustained at the ordinary pitch of the voice, and the increased facility of traction which enabled the horse to fly along with his draught as if on a tramway, or that it was only a sleigh on the frozen Nevskoi of St. Petersburg. Tho verdict in favour of the new invention was almost universal—even the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's adopting it, as we learn from Sydney Smith's cele brated joke. But when the wet weather came matters took a different turn. The comparative silence was still pre served ; but all secure foothold for horses was lost, and serious accidents became of daily and even hourly occur rence. The problem then became, how to preserve the security of the stone and the stillness of the wood, and an ingenious attempt has just been made to solve it by laying wood and stone in alternate rows, a method which it is ex pected will combine the advantages of both systems without the nuisance of either. A portion of the east end of Lombard-street has been laid down in the new manner, and as far as we could judge from fairttn examination made by us yesterday, it bide n , .‘ to answer the purpose intended. At farseistd it is covered with a layer of gravel, and as the w 1 but in afew the neighbouring shopkeepers grumble a h a t and the wind high a good deal of dust flies about, at whiZ l condition, and days the road will have attained its no ltbetween wood and to be a very advantageous compromi d. minish the noise there seems to be little doubt but thiq rm will then turn out give security to the whilst the alternate layer of stonee t f mustwill not be materially stone.

Clubs, pokers, tongs, and, mirabile dicta, flat-irons took precedency of wagging tongues, and a general affray, as well as a somewhat dangerous melee, ensued, in which broken heads were more common than logic. One woman was severely cut on the head with the angle of a flat-iron, and a man had his knowledge-box rudely visited by a pair of tongs, while another man was stabbed in the chest with a pair of scissors by a woman named Bridget Duffy. A number of the champions were taken into custody by the police. and the offenders were charged, en Tuesday, before the magistrates with having created a riot and as sault. The woman Duffy was committed for trial ; a man named Clogger, owner of a bookstall, was fined 40s. and costs for striking a woman on the head with a fiat-iron ; Dennis Kelly was also fined 40s. and costs for breaking the head of John Coupland with a pair of tongs. In both of these latter cases there was an alternative of two months' imprisonment in default of payment. Besides the cases mentionei, it seems that other seven or eight persons wore injured in the affray, which was maintained with great , spirit for upwards of an hour. —Liverpool Albion.
