And 1.9 ,OWEY MARKET' AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. )wring the last few days there has been rather 1 nye animation in the markets for Foreign and Conial Produce. The late advices from China hoe caused a slight advance in the value of tea, ad good grocery qualities of sugar have raised advanced rates. Rice has been it active demand, owing to an impression Vat the French Government will admit tis article at an almost nominal duty. In fruit ad spices a steady business has been transacted, vithout material alteration in prices. Tallow has .gain shown an upward movement in value, owing o speculative operations, the advance amounting ,o is. per cwt. ; the transactions of the trade, how ?ver, have considerably fallen off. P.Y.C., up to March, 595. 6d. per cwt. There were no bullion operations of importance it the Bank of England yesterday. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of the San Salvador portion of the Central American Debt, the proposal from that Government to pay the sum of £25,000, in three instalments, was accepted. The Directors of the Oriental Bank, it is un derstood, will propose a dividend at the rate of 14 per cent: per annum, at the forthcoming meeting. The supply of bills brought into the discount market is rather smaller than it was a few days ago, but very little alteration is apparent even in the tendency of the rates, which continne exceed ingly firm, owing to the uncertainty felt in reference to the specie movement. Rather less activity was apparent in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were well supported.' The sales were 10,000 bales. Very little business was transacted in the Railway Share Market, and prices tended downwards. A limited business has been transacted to-day in the Market for Public Securities, and the quota tions have remained without any change of impor tance, Consols being 92: for money and 92: 93 for the account. Speculation is exceedingly dull, and the dealings in money stock are too limited to create animation. The New 3 per Cents. are firmer at 91 1; the Reduced remain at 911 ; Bank Stock is 230 31, being rather higher; India ditto at 221, but the New' Loan is flat at 1031 ; Exchequer Bills have improved to 2s. prem. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices show no change of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 70; ditto New, 54 to 541 ; and the 4 per Cents. are steady at 1011; Portuguese, at 441 ; Sardinian, at 851; Spanish, at 481 ; ditto Deferred, at 40 ; and Mexican at 221; Russian 3 per Cents. are firm at 641, and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 64:.

On the tenth day the patient, whountil then, had not had the least idea of what had been done, was allowed to see the light.

With his recognition of the objects around him, his mental faculties seemed also to revive.

His ideas soon became clearer, his speech more intelligible, and his recollections of the time when he could see, before he was attacked with cataract , became brighter. Vain endeavours, nevertheless, were made to ascertain the period when he lost his reason ; all ho could state was that e had been blind three years. After a , stay of six weeks *l. the hospital, he returned home; enjoying both his eye sight and intellectual faculties. , 0 : 1 , SISTERS OF MERCY" IN EDINBTJRGII.--A large t se is building in one of the new streets at Ltillrififtoll for 1 5 ri oso l . aber of Romish Sisters of Mercy at a cos t of about At ___Strasburg, last week, a soldier of the 15th c r cz : lll 7 , who was on duty watching some rifle p ractice, is his hey and —1 rya Mile 9* the pot SRARE .31ARICET.-(T1115 DA F.)

SU S 3 93 94 i la n 5 ältil Charles Gault, 33, a well dressed man, pleaded guilty to stealing five watches, the property of Benjamin Walker. The offence to which the prisoner pleaded guilty was of an aggravated character. The prosecutor is a watch maker in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate, and the prisoner went into the shop and entered into conversation with a lad named Davies, who had charge of it, and suddenly seized him by the throat, when one of his companions came in and emptied a case of watches, and ran off. The prisoner was, however, pursued and captured. The Recorder, after commenting upon the serious nature of the robbery, sentenced the prisoner to six years' penal servitude. Fifteeen ran.

Cronin and his wife were indicted for unlawfully possessing counterfeit coin, well knowing the same to be counterfeit, with intent to utter the same. Tho female prisoner pleaded guilty. The evidence against the prisoners disclosed a most ex tensive system of fraud. The prisoners occupied an apart ment in Pitt-alley, and were supposed to be hard working people, but from certain information Brennan, the de tective officer employed by the Mint authorities, was directed to watch them. Brennan after having done so, applied for authority to enter their apartment, and pro ceeded there to search the same. On arriving at the door of the room occupied by them the officers were refused admission, but Brennan, with a sledge hammer, broke the door open, and on entering found the female prisoner be hind the door, which she had been trying to keep closed. The process of manufacturing counterfeit coin seemed to be of a very extensive nature. A galvanic battery, in which 17s. were found, together with moulds of shillings, florins, and sixpences, acids, files, ham. mers, &c., &c. While thus engaged Brennan heard something fall into a pan of water, and on looking therein no less than 14 counterfeit shillings were discovered, which the female prisoner must have thrown there. A great quantity of counterfeit coin was discovered in dif ferent degrees of preparation. The counterfeit shillings were most of them dated 1855, but two different moulds appear to have been used in those productions. The male prisoner was from home when the police entered the place, and on being informed of what had taken place, denied all knowledge of the manufacture of counterfeit coin. Brennan however, searched bim and took from ono of his pockets two counterfeit shillings, and from another three, all correspond ing with those discovered at his lodging, and wrapped up in a similar manner.

The Recorder inquired if anything was known of the prisoners ? Brennan said the female prisoner was well known. Tie had had her in custody before. In 1851 she was tried in the Old Court with a man she called 'her husband; but as she produced a certificate of marriage, which ho had reason to believe from circumstances that afterwards came to his knowledge was her sister's, she was acquitted, as she said she acted under the coer cion of her husband. In 185 G she was again apprehended for the same offence and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. She was looked upon as one of the most expert coiners in tke metropolis, and not content with com mitting the offience herself, she had instructed her children in the same practice, and one, if not more, of her children was at that moment undergoing a long term of imprison ment. It was impossible to describe the annoyance she had caused to the respectable inhabitants in the vicinity of her residence, and although they had offered the police the assistance of their servants to abate the nuisance, such was the state of watchfulness kept up, that immediately a police-constable approached the place, signals were given, and everything successfully concealed. On one occasion he got information that pri soner had received an order from the country, and although the utmost care was taken to prevent her sending the coin off, she succeeded, and afterwards laughed at the officers. She was in fact "the worst amongst the bad," and during the whole of his experience he had never met with a more dangerous woman. The female prisoner said it was not true that she had been before convicted. Brennan said he was quite sure he was not mistaken. The Common Sergeant—You have said something about a " railway order," what do you mean by that ? Brennan—An order from the country for counterfeit coin. They receive orders as manufacturers and execute them. On one occasion it was known that as many as 300 counterfeit shillings had been sent off in one parcel. The Recorder—Then they are wholesale dealers. Brennan—Yes, my lord. The Recorder commented very severely on the offence of which the prisoners had boen convicted, and sentenced the male prisoner to six and the female prisoner to eight years' penal servitude.

According to these expla nations, the object of the understanding of the three Courts is, without departing from the system of nonintervention, to agree upon the principles for the regulation of their conduct in the face of certain eventualities. Count Kisseleff, as well as Count Pourtales, protested in the most explicit manner against the supposition that the object of the interview is to resuscitate the Holy alliance. LONDON SCOTTISH VOLUNTEERS.—This body marched out for the first time since the vacation on Satur-' day last, and after a circuit through Bayswater, halted for refreshment at Paddington-green. The corps is about 850 strong, and, in the absence of Lord Elcho, and Sir David Baird (the Major) in Scotland, it is under the command of Captain Mackenzie, the senior captain. The boxing and fencing class has begun with great spirit. Mr. Benedict will commence a class this week for singing Scotch songs in a " marching chorus." More than 200 candidates for admission into this corps have been refused because they are not " connected with Scotland by birth, marriage, or descent," which is one of the fundamental rules of the re giment. It is in contemplation to form a " Volunteer Medical and Ambulance Corps" in London. THE FRENCH TREATY AND BRITISH SHIPPING. —The secretary of the Sunderland Shipowners' Society has received the following note from Mr. Cobden. in reply to a communisation ou the subject referred to :—" Paris, Oct. 16, 1860.—Sir,—In reply to your letter, I beg to say, for the information of the Shipowners' Society of Sunderland, that the negotiations in which I am engaged here do not em brace the question of the French navigation laws. That im portant question remains wholly unaffected by the provisions of the Commercial Treaty. I mention this because I saw it erroneously stated in a report of a society of shipowners that the treaty had perpetuated the present navigation sys tem of this country. Under these circumstances, Ido not think that the suggested deputation of shipowners to Paris could at this moment be productive of any result in con nection with my negotiations with the French Govern ment." . . . V A DANGEROUS CHARACTER.—Captain R. Atkin son, of the barque Granton, from London for Colombo, reports :—" 16th inst.—Weighed from Gravesend ; John Moorcroft, A. 8., down below in a state of drukenness. Arrived in the Downs 17th, at 5 p.m. On ordering John Moorcroft to come en deck, found him in a state of delirium tremens, and unable to do his duty, making use of threaten ing language to all on board. 20th. At 2 a.m., said man came on deck, with a knife in his hand, threatening to be the death of all hands unless he was put on shore. He jumped overboard, and one of the men saved him by going down the cable chain; secured him below in his berth, when he was heard to say that he would set the ship on fire. Considering him of unsound mind, and dangerous to be on board the ship, at his own request sent him on shore by the first boat that came alongside." _ _ A NOVEL SCENE.—A wedding took place yester day at the church of St. Marylebone, which was particularly interesting on account of its novelty. Tho happy couple (Mr. Alfre Thomas Maxwell and Miss Rosina Paxton) are both deaf and dumb, and the ceremony was performed in the finger and sign language by the Rev. Samuel Smith, chaplain of the Association in Aid of the Deaf and Dumb. We believe this is the first time in this country that dacty lology and pantomime have been brought into use on such an occasion. Several of the members of Mr. Smith's deaf and dumb congregation were present to witness the cere mony. STRIKE OF MASONS IN BRISTOL.—The master builders of Bristol, anxious to terminate the prolonged dis agreement between the operatives and themselves, through which a large number of men have been thrown out of em ploy, invited the men to select six of their body to meet a similar number of the masters jointly to arbitrate on the questions in dispute under the presidency of a chairman to be mutually agreed upon. This proposition was declined by the men uness they were allowed to appoint the chair man. To this request the masters could not accede, and having exhausted all means to bring about a fair and equit able solution of the differences between the men and them selves the solution of ,the difficulty appears as far off as ever. CIVILITY REWARDED.--Two young women, who about eight years since were assistants in the shop of Mr. Fletcher, hosier, of Wine-street, Bristol, last week received.the agreeable information that they were legatees for £lOO each, free of legacy duty, under the will of an ec centric old lady of Crewkerne, lately deceased, for " civilities received from them on visiting the shop in which they were engaged." A clerk in one of the branches of Stuckey's Banking Company is also remembered to the extent of .E. 500 for his " politeness" in picking up and handing the old lady a bundle of notes which she accidentally dropped in the bank. A YORKSHIRE RAT.—A man named Joseph Holmes, of Hunslet, near Leeds, last week laid some poison in the cellar of the house in which he lived for the purpose of destroying a rat. The bread and butter upon which the poison was laid vanished three times in succession, but the rat still remained. At length the rat was caught and killed by a very valuable terrier dog, the property of Mr. Holmes, and in three hours after the dog died, as if from the effects of strychnine. It is supposed that the rat instinc tively detected the poison, and had recourse to the expe dient of wiping the butter and poison from the bread upon its fur. A memorandum in the census returns of Florida is rather peculiar. The registrar says :—" Among the slave inhabitants I have found but one in my district whose age exceeds 100 years. This person is a negress named Cox.. nelia Leslie. She informs me that she is 125 years of age. She was born in the state of Georgia, at a place called Silver Bluff; has a distinct recollection of the war of the Revolu tion, and remembers the siege of Savannah in 1778, when that city was taken by the British. This woman is remark ably healthy and strong, and walks half a mile regularly every Sunday to attend church. She is the slave of her own son, who is a free negro." A curious affair recently occurred in Douglas, of which the _Manx Sun gives the following version :—An elderly lady, when on her sick bed, presented a pair of stays to a female friend who had been frequently her com panion in her hours cf illness. The present was at that time thought hardly, worth receiving, but, not to offend the old lady by refusing the offered present, the stays were folded up in paper and placed aside. The old lady died, and after her death, on the stays being examined, there was found stitched in them a lot of Bank of England notes. The notes were cut in halves, and one set of half notes was stitched down on each side of the stays. HORRIBLE MURDER OF Two CHILDREN AT BRADFORD.—About ten o'clock on Sunday night. Mrs. Margaret Gowland, the wife of an attorney's clerk, named John George Gowland, cut her own throat and those of her two children, Elizabeth Jane and Ann, aged two and four respectively. She is living, but the children are dead. Jealousy is said to be the cause. Her husband was taken in custody. He states that on going home about 10 o'clock he found the door locked, and the house in darkness ; he knocked several times before the door was opened ; on en tering, he struck a light, and then discovered his wife sitting on the bed with her throat cut. The bed was also co vered with blood and the children lying dead with their throats cut. He called in assistance, and several surgeons. The poor woman was removed to the infirmary. She was rather better yesterday morning. She states that she cut the throats of her children, and then her own. Yesterday (Monday) Gowland was discharged from custody, as his wife states she alone cut the throats of her children. The neighliours also say he came to the door at 10 o'clock, and had to knock a long time. She is rather better, and speaks calmly and collectedly. Gowland is a native of Sunder land, and was receiving a guinea a week. His home con sisted of one room, and is a wretched abode. The dreadful tragedy has created great excitement. RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR MANCHESTER.—An alarming collision took place a few minutes before 12 o'clock, yesterday noon, on the London and North-Western Rail was', between the Longsight and Ardwick stations, near Manchester. A passenger train to Manchester having stopped at the Ardwick station that tickets might be col lected, a second train of empty luggage waggons which had been following had also to be brought to a stand in the rear of it. While the two trains were standing there a pas senger train, which had left Macclesfield for Manchester at 10.15 a.m., came up and ran into the empty luggage train at a speed of about 10 miles per hour. The signals were on, and why the Macclesfield train was not pulled up in time will be a matter of serious inquiry for the railway officials, but the only reason assigned at present is the slip - periness of the rails and the consequent miscalculation of the driver. The collision was severe, the rear carriage of the luggage train being smashed to pieces, and the engine of the passenger train being thrown off the fine. Fortunately the ballast on the line at the point of collision, which is a viaduct, is a soft deep loam, and owing to the depth of this lo em, and to the fact that the passenger engine ran upon. n e wheel of the luggage waggon embedded m it, the tra_i 0. was brought to a stand in a distance of about ten y r a o t a Tho paosongera in the Macclesfield train vr themra rather r sustainedviole nt l y fhrroaimsestheaihrousteats, their but none of them, it is believed, sustained any A ;fem al e Of bones, or other more sciiuum injuries . was w e entertained that was a good deal shaken, and some fears.aor spine.

ANNOYING THE PERSIAN AMBASSADOR. - Mahmet Abelfad, a Persian, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhict with annoying the Persian ambassador, at present staying at Claridge's Hotel, Brook-street. Davy, 66 C, said that on the previous evening, about seven, the prisoner was at Claridge's Hotel, Brook-street, where the Persian ambassador was at present staying, his object being, he was informed, to annoy the ambassador. There was a large crowd assembled at the time, and as the prisoner did not understand English, he got a Frenchman to tell the prisoner that if he did not go away he should be obliged to lock him up. The prisoner said he would re main there two years if he chose, and as there was a great crowd and disturbance, he was compelled to take the pri soner into custody. Mr. Claridge said the Persian ambassador did not wish the prisoner to be allowed to come to the hotel. The pri soner had got into the hotel, and wanted him (Mr. Claridge) to believe that he was one of the ambassador's servants, so ho had him turned out. Mr. Tyrwhitt requested Mr. Albert to tell the prisoner the charge, and to ask what he had to say. The prisoner said he went to the hotel to ask the ambas sador for 2,200 fr. ; and as he had no money ho had nowhere to go to. He was a confectioner, and a servant of the Am bassador had robbed him of everything; and the servant who had robbed him was now in prison in Persia. He was poor, and went to ask the ambassador for money. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the ambassador had nothing to do with it. The prisoner had not been injured by him. A servant of the ambassador here stepped forward, and said he was sent to say that the prisoner was a rogue, and that he had no claim on the ambassador whatever. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness whether the prisoner was a Mussulman P and the witness said he was an Armenian. The prisoner ran after the carriage of the ambassador on two different occasions when the ambassador was in it, but did not succeed in catching the carriage. The prisoner created a great disturbance. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it could not be permitted that the ambassador should be annoyed in this way, when the pri soner had no claim on him. The law was very sharp, and permitted no annoyance to an ambassador. Mr. Claridge said he was instructed the prisoner had no claim whatever on the ambassador. Mr. Tvrwhitt ordered the prisoner to find one house keeper to bo surety in £lO for him for three months. THIS DAPS SHIPPING. LONDON, Oct. 23.—Wind this day at noon—South.

The usual Quarter Sessions having been convened at the c3urt-room, Town-hall, before the Recorder, Samuel War ren, Esq., Q.C., The learned Recorder thus proceeded to address the gran jury. R e said :—Gentleil en of the Grand Jury,— In presenting to you, according to my custom for some years, at the Michaelmas Sessions, a sketch of the year's legisla tion, I think I may at once promise to surprise you by the character and extent of it, loud and vehement though com plaints have been that the last session was wasted, and has nothing to show as the fruit of its labours. But, gentle men, the statute-book, looked at carefully, tells a different 1 tale. It is undoubtedly true that two vast undertakings —the reform of our Parliamentary system, and that of bank ruptcy—the legislature undertook to cope with, but in vain. Let me, however, give you some idea of what has been done in the last session—that held in the 23d and 24th years of the Queen. Of the 154 public and general acts, 40 relate exclusively to Scotland and Ireland-18 to the former, and 22 to the latter; and many of those classes are of much importance, but do not concern us here. Out of the 114 remaining acts, I shall select those only which are of more prominent and general interest and importance. First of all come before us four acts making more efficient and im mediate provision for the material safety of the realm, in a military point of view; c. 112 better provides for acquiring lands for the defence of the realm ; c. 140 facilitates the acquisition by rifle volunteer corps of grounds for rifle practice ; c. 109 furnishes the Government with two mil lions sterling towards defraying the expenses of construct ing fortifications to protect our arsenals and dockyards — the ports of Dover and Portland—and erecting a central arsenal ; and c. 13 considerately prevents members of benefit societies from forfeiting their interest in them by reason of their enrolment or service in any corps of yeomanry or vo lunteers. Then comes an admirable act, c. 123, to amend the laws relating to the government of the navy, " wherr j i n (it rightly recites), under the good providence of God, the wealth, safety, and strength of the kingdom chiefly dey,end. ,, C. 94 contains valuable enactments amending the Militia laws, so as to secure increased efficiency and combined ac- tion ; and c. 120 amends the law relating to ballots for the militia, and suspends the making of lists and 'Alias for the militia. Having thus done its best, following out excellent measures passed in the previous session or two, to make us secure against even the apprehension of danger from with-. out, and in which it is seconded magnificently by the spirit of the country, a little breathing time is given to set our house in order—to attend to matters of domestic import ance. After some little heartburning as to the mode of doing so, cc. 11, 62, and 98, provide for taking the census of England, Scotland and Ireland on the Bth April next. Two short acts, only, have direct reference, to the organisa tion of the Legislature; c, 63, permitting a Jew to omit the famous words " upon the true faith of a, Christian," in tak ing the new oath, in conformity with the recent act, and a standing order of the House of Cornmons ; while c. 99 continues the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act till the 10th August next. Next appear eleven acts, constituting a little fiscal code, if I may so speak, which occasioned Parliament great excitement and trouble, make most im portant changes in the laws of Customs and Excise, and introduce the system of wine licenses and refreshment houses, altering also the game duties, the stamp laws, and imposing an income tax of 10d. in the pound. In this scene of commercial activity I assume that thesevarious statutes have been already, or will be, carefully conned over. They are cc. 14, 15, 22, 36, 90, 107, 110, 111, 113, 114, 129. Having set in order the revenue department, and acknow ledged that in doing so an eye has also been kept upon the social and moral condition of society, with a view to improv ing it, the Legislature bethinks itself of the great interests of education. By c. 108 is amended the Industrial Schools Act, 1857 ; and it transfers the powers conferred on the Committee of Council on Education, under that act, to the Secretary of State. The law of marriage next attracts the eye of the Legislature, which, by c. 18, enacts that from and after the 30th June last, marriages may be solem nised according to the usages of Quakers, not only in the cases provided for in two recent specified statutes, but also when any one or neither of the parties is a Quaker, pro vided that the parties not being such Quakers, shall " pro fess with, or be of the persuasion of" Quakers ; with cer tain restrictions specified in the act. C. 24 removes a doubt as to the validity of marriages in extra-parochial places under the recent act of 20th Viet. c. 19, and em powers the bishop to authorise a marriage in an extra parochial church or chapel, between parties both or either of whom are resident in such extra-parochial place. This allusion to the clergy may remind us of another act, c. 142, which aims at making better provision for the union of contiguous benefices, in cities, towns, and boroughs, in furtherance of the policy of previous acts having for their object to abridge plurali ties, and enforce the residence of the clergy. Nor must I here omit to notice two short acts relating to charities. One, c. 134, amends the law regarding Roman Catholic charities—amongst other enactments, provi ding by s. 1 that charities for lawful purposes shall not be invalidated by the addition of an unlawful trust, but the property may be ap portioned, and the whole applied to lawful purposes. The second act, c. 136, amends the law relating to endowed cha rities by providing increased and inexpensive facilities for adminiatering them. I recommend this act to public atten tion. I must not pass from this division of the subject without alluding Co c. 93, amending and further extending the Tithe Commutation Aets, and amongst various enact- ments providing by s. 1, that corn rents under local acts may be converted into tithe rent charge. Having disposed of these matters of high and grave concern, the legislature looks round benignly to see where its interference is neces sary to protect those who require it in the humbler classes of society, and those engaged in exhausting and dangerous callings. C. 151 provides for the regulation and inspection of mines, extending and amending two previous humane acts; and enacting that after the Ist of July next, no boy under 12 years of age shall be employed in any mine or colliery, with certain strictly specified exceptions ; and ample provision is made for the careful inspection and regu lation of coal mines and iron-stone mines. Then w e have c. 78, placing the employment of women, young persons,and children in bleaching works and dying works under the salutary regulations of the Factories' act, with a certain ex ception ; particularly specifying also the time and modes in which such persons are to work, so as to protect them from injurious and excessive labour. The convenience and comfort of the humbler classes is further secured, by c. 41 making perpetual the recent act amending the law relating to Cheap Trains, with a view to economy and safety. 'What a boon is this to those who so much stood in need of it I Again, in this kindly humour, c. 30, reciting the expediency of giving facilities for effecting local improvements beneficial to the health and comfort of the people, enables a majority of two-thirds of the ratepayers, duly assembled, to rate their district in aid of public improvements therein forming and maintain ing public walks, exetciso or playgrounds, and removing nuisances and obstructions to them—improving open walks or footpaths, placing convenient seats or shelters from rain, and for other purposes of a similar nature. In c. 51, how ever, we see the legislature casting a watchful eye on rates, taxes, and dues levied for the purposes of local government and improvements in England ; and requiring that it should be annually informed of all sums so levied, and the expen diture of them ; and abstracts of the returns which it orders are to be laid before both houses of Parliament. While thus providing for tho enjoyment and happiness of the people, the legislature is seen, in c. 77, very vigilant about the re moval of nuisances and the prevention of diseases, and sup plying certain defects in acts previously passed with that view. And, while in this humour, the legislature has at length, in c. 84, sought to grapple with a long and pain fully-felt evil—the Adulteration of Food and Drink—" in fraud of her Majesty's subjects, and to the great hurt of their health." This is certainly a bold attempt, and all must wish to see it succeed ; but the task is one of much practical difficulty. I have not time to specify provi sions of this act, which is short, having only four a half. sections, the r but important, and a copy may be got for a p penny. In the same spirit, c. 139 amend,: aciineYl°aws con gunpowder, cerning the making, keeping, and car and compositions of an explosive nateutrromi, ture, sale, and use of fireworks. tu e to uf a a n c- - nLumber, relating to cer labrindawth other short series of acts, nine in important functionaries , and twin public , boards and bodies, imp, c. 101, the Poor - law practitioners. By one of the se ears aasa second, C. 64, makes Board is continued for three y expenses of Local Boards of the ex e further provision for ent ComP missions, acting as burial Health and Improvement c. 124, regulates the pro boards ; and a third, c e edingq of the E cc lesiastical Commissioners, and the management of episcopal and capitu the act relating England.to By the first sec. of o. 149 the few, lar estates in •0. functions of the last surviving or the only remaining toanother f • mas er), a re transferred _unctionary mas ters in chancery to the suitor's fee fund. By c. 116, the so licitor the elec tion, P duties payment, andcounty coroners are p l aced on of satisfactory footing • by c. 54, the staff of n the Crown side of the Court of Queen's officers o Bench is reduced in n umber—that is, to the Queen's coroner and attorney, and one mester; by c. 127, important alterations and improvements are made in t he law concerning attorneys, solicitors, prectors, and certified conveyancers; and by two short acts, c. 7 and c. 66, amendments aro made in two re cent acts relating to medical men. I pass now to a small bundle of acts —five in number—of a practical character, especially to the business part of the community. The first, c. 28, repeals an act passed in the year 1734, called " Sir John Barnard's Act," and which had been passed, as the act recites, " to prevent theinfamous 6 practice of stock Jo • Ling," but which is now repealed on the alleged ground that "it imposed unnecessary restrictions on the making of contracts for the sale and transfer of public stocks and secu rities." The second, c. 21, empowers pawnbrokers, instead of being any longer compelled to deliver a note gratis, where the suns lent was less than 55., to take a halfpenny where the sum lent shall be less than 10s. ; but payments, where the sum lent is lOs or upwards, are not affected. The third, c. 146, in consequence of the delays which have arisen in completing the models of measures regulating the sale of gas, under the act of the preceding session, defers the time when several of its provisions were to have come into operation. Chapters 58 and 137 apply to savings' banks and friendly societies; the former act proviedi:_ , fe . e the appropriation or division of the funds, in case _ r f o r vi n . dissolution of the society; the latter making furt her . l ; 1 • ti from oncit Nocloti sins for investing moneys revolve .J. Savings' Banks. Having seen to these miscellaneous mat ters, of more or less interest and importance to all, or many , classes of the community, the Legiskture must now be con- Itemplated, finally, as engaged in the sacred duty of im proving the administration of justice. For this purpose we shall see her visiting every department, civil, criminal, lecclesiastical: supplying defects, correcting abuses, and cautiously extending useful improvements. First of all, increased facilities are given, by c. 144, for working the machinery of the recently constructed Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes. The main feature is seen in the first section enabling the Judge Ordinary (one of the most distinguished of my predecessors in this court) to exercise powers now vested in the full court. Other important pro visions are contained in the act, which, however, is ex pressly limited to the 31st July, 1862, " and no longer." Secondly, c. 32 abolishes the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts in Ireland, in cases of defamation (es had previously been done in England), and in England and Ireland in cer tain cases of brawling. The second section inflicts a penalty not exceeding £5, or, isa the discretion of the justices, im prisonment not extending two months, on any one convicted before two justicr,s of the peace, of riotous, violent, or in decent behaviou r in any place of worship, whether during the eelebrat io",. of divine service, or at any other time— "r in any 'ch urc h yar d or burial ground—or who shall molest, le' ', disturb, vex, trouble, disquiet,cl clergyman n misuse an any duly authori se d p reac h er, or ' cele brating any di v i ne service. Then they Legislature erya casts its eye en th e C our t of Chancery; and first, by c. 128, enables its judges to carry into effect the recommenda tions and suggestions of the commissioners appointed unde r the great seal in the last year, to inquire into the me de of taking evidence in that court, and its effects. ':.he judges are empowered to do so by general ru l es an d orders, which, however, must be laid before P ar li amen t . Secondly, by c. 149 , very . considerate and humane regulations are made in favour of persons imprisoned for contempt of the Court of Chancery, and of pauper defen dants—whose interests are solicitously provided for—whil e arrangements are made also to secure the more efficient de spatch of business in these courts: Thirdly, c. 38, entitled "An act to further amend the law of property," contains a short series of enactments, having for their object to pro tect the interests of purchasers and mortgagees of estates of I every description, in respect of executions and judgments. The nature of these enactments is already, no doubt, fami liar to the lawyers, and I have not time to explain it here. Fourthly, c. 83 extends to the Court of Chancery in Ire land the benefits of stat. 18 and 19 Vic., c. 43—which enables infants, with the approbation of the Court of Chan cery, to make binding settlements of their property on mar riage. Doubts had been entertained, but are dissipated by this act, whether the former act extended to the Irish Court of Chancery. Fifthly, c 145 appears to me to have for its object the saving expense to the public, in cases in which trustees, mortgagees, and others are concerned, by giving them the benefit of powers and provisions usually inserted formally in the conveyances, without that being any longer done in fact. Such powers are henceforth to be considered as incident, and tacitly annexed, to such transactions and instruments. This is in the spirit of several recent enact ments, and all in favour of the public. Transferring its re gards, for a moment, to the comman law courts, in their civil character, so to speak, four acts are passed by the Le• gislature. First, c. 115 simplifies and amends the practice:as to the entry of satisfaction on Crown debts, and on judg ments. Secondly, c. 147, in order to remove existing doubts, extends to debtors actually in custody the rights of petition • ing conferred by stet. 7 and 8 Vic., c. 70, on debtors not in custody. Thirdly, c. 60 carefully meets the case of an un fortunate inmate of the Queen's Prison becoming insane, and remaining so, after having become entitled to discharge from custody. Here also may be noticed, fourthly, c. 75, an act to make better provision for the custody and care of criminal lunatics : empowering her Majesty to ap point an asylum for criminal lunatics, and investing the Secretary of State with carefully-defined jurisdiction over such cases. Lastly, c. 126, entitled " for the further amend ment of the process, practice, and mode of pleading in, and enlarging the jurisdiction of the superior courts of common law." Steps in the direction of that fusion. (as it is called) of law and equity, of which you may have heard, and of which we lawyers have heard, and are destined to hear, a great deal; the object being to give a suitor complete re dress in that one court to which he may think fit to appeal for it, instead of sending him backwards and forwards from one court to another, exposing him thereby need lessly to vexation, oppression, and injustice. I now come to an important act, c. 34, applicable alike to the superior courts of law and equity, entitled " An act to amend the law relating to petitions of right, to simplify the proceedings, and make provisions for the costs thereof." This brief, bold, and just act enables the subject, observing due decorum, to institute legal proceedings against the Sovereign, in her public and private capacity, with all tho substantial incidents attached by law to proceedings be tween subject and subject. I wish I had—but I have not —time to explain the leading provisions of this statute. Finally, we see the eye of the legislature cast sadly on the gloomy criminal quarter of our jurisprudence. But I have only three short acts to bring under your notice, in addi• tion to that already glanced at, concerning criminal luna tics. First, c. 122, to put art end to doubts on the subject, enables the legislatures of our foreign possessions to make enactments similar to that of stst. 9, Geo. IV., c. 31, by which the felonious act occasioning death can be tried and punished in the country or place in England where the act occurred, although the death took place at sea or out of England. Secondly, c. 29 deelares guilty of felony persons maliciously injuring, with intent to destroy or render useless,—or who may stop, obstruct, or hinder the working of—any steam or other engine, or any appliance or apparatus in connection therewith, for sinking, draining, or working any mine, or in any wise as sisting in the working thereof. Lastly, c. B—one of the ear liest of the session—is an important addition to our criminal enactments. Reciting that " the existing law had been found insufficient to protect persons from the unlawful ad ministering of poison, except where the intent was to com mit murder," it proceeds by section 15 to subject to penal servitude not exceeding ten nor fewer than three years, or imprisonment not more than three years—with or without hard labour—any person unlawfully and maliciously admi nistering, or causing to be administered to or taken by any other person, any poison or other destructive or noxious thing, sq as thereby to endanger life or inflict any grievous bodily harm. By the second section the doing se, with in tent to injure, aggrieve, or annoy any person, is declared a misdemeanour, punishable with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding three years. By the third and last section, if a jury be not satisfied as to the prisoner being guilty of felony under section Ist, on an indictment charg ing it, they may find him guilty of the misdemeanour under section 2, if satisfied that he is guilty of it. Now, gentle men of the Grand Jury, I have done, having brought before you briefly the substance or scope of some 80 statutes, afterand excluding 40 affecting, respectively, Ireland and Scotland alone, and also very many important acts affecting°t d ay United Kingdom, but not falling withininfP j ght, after and here.

ANOTHER DEATH THROUGH CRINOLINE.-011 as to thedeath wit o h f c ll i a n ry Saturday morning Mr. J. Humphreys, the coroner, held an inquest at the London Hospital Ann Flint, aged 10 years, whose friends reside at No. 13, New Gravel-lane, Sliadwell, who lost her blackened but not following circumstances :—The deceased was engagad in, front of the fire, and while stooping to pick up something from the floor, her dress, which was expanded hospital, a where every lino, touched the bars of the grate and suddenly ignited.
