Whatever may be the result of the division on Mr. CARDWELL'S motion, it is quite certain that all the weight of argument is in favour of the cosine adopted by the Government in reference to the very unfortunate and inopportune Procla mation issued by Lord CANNING. It was --setting the brilliant and unanswerable oration of Sir HUGH MCCALMONT CAIRNS aside —eves more conspicuous last night than on Friday. There wee the stern and truthful philippic of Mr. ROE-. Brieg, the sparkling wit, combined with sound reasoning, of Sir R. PEEL, the sterling common sense of Mr. HARDY, and the startling eloquence of Mr. WHITESIDE ; and, on'the other side, were the dreary, prosaic, and slumber-compelling harangues of Sir C. WooD and Sir G. C. Lewis, redolent of red-tapism in its worst and most offensive sense, which, even aided by the compa- ratively brief but effective speech of Mr. ATHER TON—certainly the best on the Palmerstonian side —could not for a moment be brought into com petition with those favourable to the Government. Mr. ROEBUCK, with his usual frankness, clearly indicated the real object of the motion—" one of the most transparent of party manosuvres he had ever seen 1" The welfare, happiness, and pros perity of her MAJESTY'S subjects in India were at stake. Two hundred millions of the human race Were in one way or other deeply interested in the result, It was to many of their number a ques tion of life and death, for it affected "the means whereby th ey and might reduce them from afltuence and comparative independence to povert y and destitutio n . ut while this vast, this momentous question" is under consideration, one of mere politics is substituted. We forget the happiness of two hundred millions of men, and reduce the question to the con s id eration of this bench and that !" Well might he exhibit the by no means flittering interrogato r y, ,c is there any man so utterly void of consideration of what is going on around him, and of wh a t Is being enacted before his eyes—is there any man so like a blind puppy, as not to perceive THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1858. that what we are fighting for now is not the happiness of India, but the Government of this country ? " It will be difficult indeed to `answer that pointed question, or to show that any per son voting for the resolution can be actuated by purely disinterested and unprejudiced views. The Honourable Gentleman contended, as we have already done, that ELLENBOROUGII was bound to write a despatch, that he wrote a proper despatch, and that he could not have suppressed that despatch, but was bound to give it equal publicity with the proclamation to which it pur ported to be an answer. The last is virtually the only ground on which the Government has been assailed. Neither Mr. CARDWELL nor a single one of those who have followed in his wake, have attempted to justify the policy of wholesale confis cation therein enunciated—a policy calculated to render the entire people of Oude discontented and insubordinate. Not one has ventured to vin dicate Lord CANNING, with the exception, perhaps, of his nephew, Lord DUNRELLIN. As we stated yesterday he was completely thrown overboard, " his wounded feelings were not taken into con sideration. His injured amour propre was a matter of profound indifference to the schemers for place." The spoliation was too flagrant, too gross to be justified. What would be said if a proclamation had been issued in 1745, confiscating the whole soil of Scotland, or in 1798 that of Ireland ? Would it not have stimulated the entire people to war to the knife ? It may be said that indul- gence would be shown, to those who merited i that it was only those undeserving of favour who could eonaplain of the terms of tho clause. Well, for the sake of argument, let us modify the term " confiscation," and simply say, throw into Chancery all the proprietary rights to real estate in the United Kingdom, casting the onus probandi on the former owners. Would that be very acceptable ? Would that allay the natural apprehensions that might arise and be re garded as an act of clemency that would induce a conquered people to rest contented with their lot? It would justly be regarded as an insult to common sense to say so, and yet the proceeding in India is even more formidable. The native courts are justly dreaded by all who have not the means of wholesale bribery at their disposal-- bribery carried on through every stage of the proceedings, from the lowest official to those of more elevated rank, and also of suborning false witnesses to counterbalance those that may be adduced on the other side, for that al so is a necessity before the native Indian tribunals, where the sanctity of an oath is not very highly respected. It is clear that the terms will be regarded in even a more formidable character than Lord OANNIN4 might be disposed to give them, and that what might have been simply in tended to get rid of some inconvenient questions respecting tenures, will have a much worse con struction placed on them by the parties mainly interested, although that would be quite bad enough, virtually amounting to confiscation, for why should legal disputes be disposed of on any principles but those of pure and disinterested justice. It being essential, then, that there should be an answer, and that answer being of the right description, it would have lost all its utility had it not been published to the world. It was the only course tending to the pacification of India, and, as justly remarked, should have been writ• ten "in letters of gold." It was an honest despatch, a judicious despatch, and such will be the opinion of every disinterested. and unpreju diced person throughout the length and. breadth of the land. Woe to those who may give factious votes on the present all-important occasion. They will, when too late, deeply deplore their error, when they find that it has removed them from the cares and labours of Legislation. Mr. ROEBUCK fairly explained the difference between the present Government and the preceding one. He said— "l believe that good government, that happi nese for the . people, that advance of libera measures, which - w© all desire, are more to be oh rained from that weak Government—(pointing to the Treasury bench)—than from the strong inso lence of this—(pointing to the front Opposition bench, amid great cheering). I have seen, sir, both, I have tried them both, and I am sure that we are further advance 1 in a course of improvement and liberty than we should have been under the guidance of the noble lord (Palmerston.) If we seek simply and honesty—if we want justice for the people of England and good government for England, we shall give a decided negative to the resolutions of the right hon. gentleman the mem ber for Oxford." We believe that the independent electors of Great Britain will unhesitatingly endorse that honest verdict, and that the comparison between the two Governments will be immeasurably to the disadvantage of that which is attempting to grasp the seals of office by such unfair, such factious, such unconstitutional, and, so far as India is concerned, such nefarious means. What have become of all the quasi private letters addressed to the ex-President or Secretary of the Board of Control, or other persons in office therein, since the advent to office of Lprd DERBY'S Government ? It is notorious that such letters are of frequent occurrence, that they, is fact, are delivered by every mail. And the reason is obvious, there may occasionally be inconvenient addresses for papers, which can be avoided by the publication of the despatches. But it would not do to give every thing to the public. There must be some slight reserved, some pearl that is not to be cast before the of roNNoi. The private letters disperse the mists that might otherwise affect official vision. Like ladies' postcripts, they contain the real gist of the correspondence, and though nominally directed for individuals, are really intended for the occupants of particular situations. It is, however, strange, that since the present Government came into office no such document had been received or forwarded to the office until the last mail, when Lord ELLENBOROUGH re ceived no less than three of these so-called private letters from Lord CANNING ; but none of them containing the promised explanation which was to have arrived by the next mail. Is it possible to conceive that Mr. SMITH could only have received the one letter, which he did not co mmunicate to his suc cessor, by any of the th ree mails rules, that he arrived, ought although, according to Ordi nary to have re ce i ve d nine during the period, one of which must have contained that all-important explanation • He may h ave had a bagful of such letters, but with that l ax i ty of political morality which he has already ( E s , played, he may, after consultation , with his leader, have decided on keeping them all back, of using them against his opponent, butnotgiving the in formation that was really intended for the President of the India Board, and not for Mr. SMITE of Cannon Row. We trust some Hon. Gentleman will exhibit a stringent interrogato r y t o th e mem b er for North ampton on this interesting topic. It is scarcely less remarkable that the Palmer stonian organs have been so unfortunate as not to have received the interesting communications of their own correspondents, showing the feeling entertained by the people of India respecting the confiscation policy. These are doubtless untoward accidents, bat they occur at a very suspicious 3 crisis ; and we earnestly hope that these interest ing documents may only have been mislaid, and that they may come to light as soon as a division has been taken on Mr. CARDWELL'S motion. THE SUNDAY CABAL. SECOND MEETING- AT CAMBRIDGE-HOUSE A second meeting of the Palmerstonian conspi rators was held at Cambridge-House on Sunday last. The Noble Lords and Right Honourable Gentlemen, who take a deep interest in the Oude question, but who—Heaven is their witness—have no desire to embarrass her Majesty's Government, were summoned to assemble at 5 o'clock, in order that the Earl of Shaftesbury, who had been to church, might be able to assist them by his presence. Lord Palmerston is said to have briefly stated the objects of the meeting. They had over come many obstacles to their success one only now remainqd. He alluded to the fear of a dissolution, which was doing them a great deal of harm. They had to consider what course should b 3 pursued, with a view to convincing their friends that no dissolution would take place. In the course of a ;brief conversation which fol lowed, Mr. LalamL3here observed that, unfortu nately, it was only too true that Lord Derby in tended to dissolve. Lord Palmerston—Of course it is, but we mus not say so. This view of the case was accepted by the meeting, and several suggestions were made, which were discussed at considerable length. At last a resolution was proposed by a Noble Lord, which was alopted by the meeting, after a protest from Mr. Labouchere, who, with some diffidence, gave it as his opinion that the leaders of a great political party ought not to constitute themselves a society for the 'propagation of falsehood. The resolution runs thus :—" That this meeting pledges itself to take every opportunity of stating authoritatively that her Majesty has positively de clined to dissolve Parliament as long as Lord Derby is in office." On the motion of the Marquis of Clanricarde, se condei by a Noble Ear], it was further resolved that copies of the above resolution should be for warded to the Earl of Be:isborough, and to Sir William Hayter, in order that it might be made known to the Palmerstonian expectants in both Houses of Parliament. INAUGURATION OF THE JENNER TESTI 3101 lAL BY THE PRINCE CONSORT. Yesterday the Jenner memorial, erected at Trafalgar-square, was duly inaugurated by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and the inter esting ceremony was rendered the more imposing from the large body of nob!emen and scientific men who were asembled. together on the occasion to do honour to the memory of the great discoverer of vaccination. The memorial, consisting of a statue in bronze, occupies a site on the west side of Trafalgar square, and immediately adjoining the statue of General Sir Charles Napier, K. C. B. The figure is in a sitting posture. The memorial has been carried out through a public subscription from all nations. Ai a work of art, the memorial does great credit to the designer, Mr. W. 0. Mar shall, R. A. The statue was uncovered in the course of the afternoon, and at 3 o'clock his Royal Highness the Prince Consort arrived at the Royal Coll-ge of Physicians in Pall-Mall East, where it had been arranged the ceremony of inauguration should be gone through. The dais, covered with red cloth, had been erected for his Royal Highness in the great hall of the College, and the hall was crowded by members of the nobility, the medical profession, and others who took an interest in the ceremony. His Royal Highness was conducted to his seat by Dr. Mayo, the President of the College, and a number of the Fellows, all habited in their robes of office. Among the company present were the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl Ducie, the Bishop of Ox ford, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Lord Mayor, Sir H. Holland, Bart., Sir James Clark, Bart., Lord Lyttelton, Sir John Forbes, Sir John Rennie, Gen. Sir J. Wilson, Governor of Chelsea Hospital, Alderman Salomons, Lord Ashburton, Sir J. M'Gregor, Bart., Professor Ferguson, Pro fessor Brand, Drs. E!liotson, Hawkins, Copland, Billing, Watson, Sayer, Pagt,t, Conolly, Mr. Pet tigrew, F.R.C.S., Mr. G. Rennie, Sir Edwin L , ndseer, R A., Mr. D. Maclise, R.A., Sac. His ROYAL HIGH ESS said that he attended there to do honour, with those present, to the memory of Jenner, that being J enner's anniversary, and. in order to mark his sense of the inestimable benefits be stowed upon the human race by that great philo sopher and philanthropist. (Applause.) The dis covery of vaccination was not the result of more accident, like many other discoveries ; but it was the result of long and thoughtful observation and reflection, to which the discoverer's whole lite was devoted. This country might be justly proud to number among her sons such a man as Jenner, for no man had been able to s,tve so many lives as he had been enabled to do. (Loud applause.) His contemporaries had testified their approbation and feeling of gratitude for the important public service he had rendered; but it was reserved for them that day to inaugurate a memorial as a mark of their ap preciation of Jenner's services in the cause huma nity. (Applause.) He hoped that statue would be long preserved, to give the features of this bene factor of humanity for the contemplation and ad miration:of generations to come. (Great applause.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness. Dr. MAYO seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud applause. His ROYAL HIGHNESS briefly replied, expressing a hope that vaccination would be still further spread for it was deplorable to think that through ne glecting it there were still in this country about 5,000 victims annually. His Royal Highness then took his departure, and the proceedings terminated. ATTEMPT TO POISON A CHILD WITH INK IN TIIE LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE. A young woman, named Mary Jones, who, according to her own statements, had been an assistant teacher in a school in Ireland, and had left her situation in an ticipation of her confinement, which had taken place in the Liverpool workhouse, of which she had been an inmate for about three months, was charged at the Liverpool police-court with having attempted to poison her illegitimate child by administering ink to it. Mr. Carr, the governor of the workhouse, stated that the circumstances were reported to him by inmates of the sick ward. After giving the child something and laying it down in bed, the prisoner began to cry, and when the child was lifted out of bed by another woman it vomited something black, by which the clothes were stained. A middle aged woman who occupied the next bed to the prisoner's said that on Friday evening she went out of the room, leaving the baby in bed. It cried and slept alternately. Before that she had seen the prisoner feed the baby from a tin can, similar to one which was now produced. What there was in it she could not say. She bad often told the prisoner that it was a shame for her to neglect the child as she did. The witness took the child out of bed, and it immediately vomited some black stuff. She called attention to the fact, and search was then made for the can, which was found concealed under the bedtick. There was a spoon in the can, and also a cloth with black stains upon it. In the window of the room there was a bottle containing ink. The prisoner never took care of her child like othe women, nor brought it to the fire to warm it. Another inmate, Mrs. Brady, had heard the prisoner wish that her child was dead, or that she bad never seen the father of It, who was a Roman Catholic. Witness had spoken to the prisoner many times when she was ill-using the child, and had seen her put boiling hot meat into its mouth. The sheets of the prisoner's bed were stained with ink, as was also a napkin, taken from the child last week and the clothes which it had been wearing, which were produced. Oa Thursday last the prisoner said to an inmate that the child was very bad, and showed her one of its napkins, which was discoloured with black stains. Since the child had been taken from the mother and given to a nurse it took the breast with mach eager ness, and seemed to be recovering. When Mr. Parker, surgeon, was called to the child, it was in a livid and weak state. The prisoner confessed to him that the ink bottle which was found in the window belonged to her. I'he black vomit had been analysed by Dr. Ayrton, who found it to be common ink, which was an irritant, and a tablespoonful of which he supposed would be sufficient to poison a child. The governor had no Idea how she bad got the ink. It was not prohibited to those who wished to write to their friends, but it never occurred to him that a woman would use it for poisoning her offspring. Still the possession of the bottle was irregular, and was unknown to the matron. This is the second illegitimate child the prisoner has had. She said nothing in her defence, and was committed to the assizes on the charge of attempted murder. THE SUPPRESSED LETTERS. We were enabled to inform our readers yester day that more light would be thrown upon the suppression of Lord Canning's letters by subse quent disclosures, which would certainly be elicited in the course of the great debate. All those who have studied our Parliamentary report will see that we were not mistaken, and that it was officially announced, last night, that by the first mail, which left Calcutta, after the news had arrived of Lord Ellenborough's appoint ment to the Board of Control, Lord Canning had addressed three letters to the noble earl, in which public questions, and 'public:questions alone, were very fully discussed. Mr. Whiteside, in his eloquent speech, made several pointed allusions to this matter, and asked, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the house, whether he was to believe that Lord Canning, who had written these letters by a single mail, had been altogether silent for more than two months ? The more we hear of this extraordinary affair, the more are we cenvinced that we are not mistaken in considering the suppression of Lord Canning's letter to be a base trick, but a place-hunt ing cabal, for which it would be very unjust to hold Mr. Smith solely responsible, as he acted confessedly by the advice of his leader, who seems to us, in this instance, to have forgotten the interests of his country in his eagerness for place, and to have been more anxious to injure an oppo nent than to consult the dictates of honour. IVLE NI . versus MUM ! Who stoals from Public Notes the pith ? Mr. Smith ! Lies for his Party's kin and kith ? Mr. Smith !

ROBERT OWEN.—A public meeting was held In St. Martin's Hall on Friday evening last, Mr. Robert Owen in the chair Resolutions were unanimously passed to petition both Houses of Parliament for an in quiry into the plans of social change which the vener able chairman has so long promulgated. It is very unfortunate that neither the Times nor the Morning Post have received the letters of their Indian correspondents by the last mail. It must be particularly annoying to our contemporaries that they are unable to announce to their readers what construction is put in India upon the Confiscation Clause, and what effect has been produced on the native mind by its promulgation. It is also strange that so many copies of the Friend of India should have miscarried on the present occasion. —Daily News. Lord Canning seams doomed to correspond with rx- Presidents of the Board of Control. For the three lest mails he has been addressing Mr. Vernon Smith as Pre sident, though they all reached this country after Lord Ellenborough had assumed the office ; and the present mail, which brings letters from him addressed to Lord Ellenborough, arrives after the resignation of that nobleman. By the bye, if one mail brings no less than three letters to Lord Ellenborough from the Governor- General, how comes it that three mails should only have brought one letter to Mr. Vernon Smith Or have there been more intercepted letters than one ?-.Daily News. THE DIVISION IN THE LORDS.—Lord Clanricarde voted with the minority in support of Lord Shaftes bury's resolution on Friday night. This is necessary to be stated, as in the list his name appears under his sitting title of Lord Somerhill. The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, honoured the performance at the Adelphi Theatre with their presence last evening. The Royal suite consisted of the Countess of Desert, the Hon. ;Caroli ne C aven di sh, Lord Bateman, Major- General the Hon. Charles Grey, and Lieutenant- Colonel Ponsonby. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Monday. The Orinoco, Capt. Baynton, left this day, with the West India mails, a full cargo, specie of the valve of 14,300/. jewellery 3 7001., and 85 p assengers, among whom is 'Lieut.-Col. Chainberlayne.. The steam ship Tagus, Capt. Christian, left this day, with the usual Peninsular mail, 5001. in specie, a full general cargo, and 21 passengers. ANOTHER NEW THEATRE. —W e understand Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee, the enterprising managers of the City of London Theatre, have taken a spot of ground near Limehowe Churcb, for a new theatre, which is to be opened by October next. Mr. A. Jones, who built the Surrey Music Hall, is the architect. THN ACCIDENT ON THE TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY.— The adjourned inquest upon the persons who were killed by the recent accident on the Trent Valley Railway was resumed yesterday at the Bull Hotel, Nuneaton, before Mr. W.

Another marriage case was yesterday submitted to the Civil Tribunal. A y oung man named Ruttinger, • having led a very dissipated life at Paris, was sent by his father in 1855 to Lima, in Peru, and there he fell in love with a young woman, whose maiden name was Mendoza, and who was widow of General Guido, who at one time was Minister of War of Peru. He proposed marriage to her, but as he had no other position than that of assistant to his brother, a trader of Lima, she did not think fit to accept him. He however, pressed his suit, and she at length married him. Her first husband's family were greatly displeased at the marriage, and stopped an allowance of 250 f. a month which they had made her. In two months Ruttinger cruelly abandoned her, though she was encainte at the time. He told her that he was going to North America to seek his fortune, but she afterwards learned that be had come to Paris, and in Feb., 1857, she followed him there. He went to live with her in an apartment in the Rue Coquenard, but in a week he azain abandoned her, gave notice to leave the apartment, sold off the furniture, and wrote a most insolent letter to the concierge of the house, directing him not to supply her with anything, and to tell her that "he (Ruttinger) was tired of her, and that the best thing she could do was to take a lover, if she could find one." She fell into such distress that some cha ritable Peruvians here had to raisea subscription to enable . her to return to h er own country. Yesterday Ruttin ger's father and mother applied to the Civil Tribunal to declare the marriage null and void, on the ground that they bad not given their consent, and that he being only twenty•three years old, and therefore, as regards mar riage, a minor, such consent was, by Article 182 of the Code .Napoleon, indispensably necessary. They also urged that it ought to be declared void because it had not been publi s h e d an d d u l y reg i stere d i n France. In the course of the pleadings on their behalf, it was stated that the marriage had been a most deplorable one for the you ng man. Th e counse l o f Mine. Guido insisted that the 'marriage was good, inasmuch as the father and mother of th e young man b a d known of it at the time it was accomplished, or at all events had ns,t protested agai ns t it w it h i n a year a f ter it came t o their knowledge, as the Code Napoleon required them to do. The first of these assertions was, however, contradicted by the plaintiffs ; and as to the second, they showed that it was in October last that they had been informed of the marriage, and that in January they had com menced proceedings for having it declared null. The tribunal decided that the want of the parents' con sent made the marriage void, but, considering that in contracting it Mine. Guido had been ignorant of the French law, it laid down that she should enjoy the civil advantages to which it entitled her. As to the two other points raised by the parents, the tribunal said that the first one being sufficient, it was not necessary to pro nounce en them. - . HARBOURS Or REFUGE.--The vote required for the works of Dover harbour, for the financial year 1858-59 is 34,0001., and subsequently 270,0001. will be required. The new works are progressing satisfactorily. For Alderney harbour 60,000/. is required now, and 578,0001. here after for Jersey (the works are now suspended) 395,0001. Rill be asked hereafter, and for Portland (harbour and breakwater) 76,000/. is required now, while 119,1251. vi Ibe asked for subsequently. The foundations of Diver pier were fiat year cAtentled 113 feet, and the upper part of the pier, up to the quay level, 58 ftet, and during the quarter ended the sth of April last a length of 47 feet of the pier was raised from 12 feet be low the low-water level up to 4 feet below that level, and a further length of 38 feet was brought up from 30 feet below low-water mark to within 8 feet of low water. i MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Saltpetre has exhibited extreme firmness, and full rates are current for all qualities. The public sales of Spanish indigo have proceeded with energy, and improved rates have been realised by about 3d. to 4d. per lb. over last sales' quotations. For tallow there has been a fair demand, but prices are rather flatter. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 535. 6d.; June delivery, 535. 3d.; and last three months, 50s. 6d. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday pre sented a heavy appearance, and prices of all de scriptions were without any material alteration. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 500 for export. In Railway Shares there was no change of im portance. Considerable satisfaction has bean produced by the turn which has taken place in the Exchange at Paris, which prevents:any further profitable remit tances of specie being made to the continent. Two days have now passed without any withdrawals being made, and it is naturally concluded that, temporarily, at least, the greaterportion of the specie imported from Australia and other places will be retained in this country and added to the stock of bullion at the Bank of England. The enquiry for silver for exportation to the East continues very limited and the other foreign demands for the precious metals are comparatively unimportant. Until, therefore, the exchanges shall again become unfavourable and the drain be renewed, there is some prospect of a continued accumulation in Threadneedle-street. There is still a very limited demand for discount accommodation, although it can be obtained at very low rates, viz., from 2i per cent. upwards. The application do not increase, except at intervals, when a mass of paper simultaneously falls due. Even then the effect is quite of a transient cha racter, and the market soon resumes its previously quiet appearance. The meeting of the New Brunswick and Canada Land Company, advertised for to-day, has been adjourned to the 31st inst. The market for English Securities still presents a quiet but firm appearance. Speculators and in vestors are alike unwilling to enter into extensive operations until the debate is over, but the opinion in Citycircles is increasing that Mr. Card well's motion will prove a failure. Consols for transfer are 97i 1, and for account 971 g.

Foreign Securities are quiet, but prices are firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are ; Russian 4i per Cents., 102/ ; Peruvian 3 per Cents., 63 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., 83 ; and ditto Deferred, 184.

The transactions in the Railway Share Market to-day have been of a very limited character. A slight improvement, however, may be reported in one or two of the leading lines. Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North British, have advanced ss. ; Caledonian and Brighton, 10s. ; and Midland, 11. South Eastern declined ss. The Foreign lines were neglected, and quotations were quite nominal. In the Colonial Market East In dian advanced 10s. The other lines dealt in were at previous values. In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares only a limited amount has been transacted.

CONVICTION OF A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER.—John Williams, 30, respectably dressed, and the holder of a ticket-of-leave, was charged with attempting to enter the house of William Bradley, 4, Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy square, by means of a skeleton key. Elizabeth Johns, servant to the prosecutor, said that morning at 7 o'clock she h ear d a no i se at the street door as of somebody attempting a key. She looked through a window which commanded a view of the door and then saw the prisoner in the act of withdrawing a key. On going to the door the prisoner immediately started off and she went in pursuit, having alarmed her mother, calling "stop thief," and he was taken iato custody. Mr. Bradley proved also pursuing the prisoner, and that he tried his utmost to get away. Policeman 125 G produced two skeleton keys found on the prisoner, one of which he attempted to get rid of Sergeant Crocker said he knew the prisoner to be a notorious thief. He was tried at the last April sessions of the Central Criminal Court for entering the house of a constable with another man by means of a skeleton key, but acquitted. He was a ticket-of-leave man, but his ticket was about to be revoked. The prisoner is well known to the police as a notorious character. Committed for three months with hard labour. A DANGEROUS STREET NUISANCE.—Three Italians, D'Antoine, Oralte, and Dardo were charged under the following circumstances. Police -constable Mee, said that that morning he saw the three men in Newman -street, with a barrel organ and a table on which was a monkey. He saw one of the defendants put a cap on a pistol, it already contained some powder, and then give it to the monkey, who fired it off, the report being very loud and quite sufficient to frighten a horse. A gentleman complained of the nuisance and he then took them into custody. Mr. }lngham said whatever thelaw might be in their country, it was unlawful to discharge firearms in the streets of London, as it was likely to do great mischief by horses being frightened, carriages destroyed, and lives lost. Such a nuisance must be put a stop to, and ho thought the most effectual way of doing that was by imposing a fine of 108. or 7 days in default. GREAT FIRE NEAR KEIGHLEY.—A fire of an alarm• ing character broke out at Dockroyd, near Keighley, shortly bff,re Friday midnight, whereby the large ni2 w warehouse of Mossrs. Sugden and Brothers, and its valuable contents, wero completely destroyed, but by the prompt attendance of the fire engines, and great efforts of the fire brigades, the large mills and weaving sheds weie saved. The damage cannot yet be asceetained, but will amount to several thou sand pounds,—Second Edition of .Leeds Mercloy. CITY, Two o'CLoox. Daring the last few daysonly a moderate amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea has been exceed ingly dull, with little change to note in price. For sugar there has been a strong demand, and the fine qualities of good grocery sorts for home consump tion have realised full rates ; other descriptions have been moderately enquired for. Coffee has met a fair demand, and Plantation Ceylon realised full values. Rum has been in steady request, and for rice there has scarcely been any demand, the sales having been only a few hundred bags of the lower descrip tions. - 11,4 St: St. 124 St. St. tit.
