The oNect of the NORTIIFLEET DOCKS and LONDON QUAYS COMPANY (Limited), is to provide the Port of London with the following, among other, important ad- vantages: DRY DOCKS capable of receiving► Ships of the largest mag nitude, which at present cannot be accommodated in any Dock in the Thames. INCREASED WET DOCK ACCOMMODATION, the want of which compels steamers and other vessels, especially those of the larger class, to avoid the Port of London. DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH EXISTING RAIL WAYS, thereby securing to Merchants and Shippers the direct conveyance of imports and exports to and from any part of Great Britain without the delay and expense of cartage, wharfage, and lighterage in transit. PLANS AND ESTIMATES of the whole undertaking have been carefully prepared, and have been investigated by a Committee appointed for that purpose. The Reports of the Engineers show a sum of £2,000,000 will be sufficient to carry out the undertaking in its integrity, leaving an ample margin for the purchase of the properties ; and the Engineers have named to the Directors eminent Contrac tors, who are willing to take and guarantee the execution of all the works within the estimates. It is intended, however, to construct the works at Northfleet by gradual operations, according to the requirements of Commerce, and it is not expected that more than £1,250,000 will be called up within the first eighteen months ; no,call to ex ceed £2 10s. per share. IMMEDIATE REVENUE.—An unusual feature in this en terprise is that an immediate revenue will accrue to the Company from the business carried on at the Quays and Warehouses in London. and the operations of the exist ing Dry Dock and Engineering Plant and Machinery at Northfleet, as well as from the sale of chalk and flints, which will enable the Company, during the construction of the works, to declare a dividend upon the Calls as paid up. PROSPECTIVE REVENUE.—The important commercial advantages to be derived from Or several objects which the undertaking comprehends, and the comparatively small outlay required, lead the Directors to expect, under a system of low charges, returns of no ordinary profit. In the event of the Directors not deeming it advisable to pro ceed, the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders, less the Preliminary Expenses, which will not under any circumstances exceed Five Shillings per Share. Applications for Shares to be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company ; to the Brokers, Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street, London ; also to John B.

HOME CIRCUIT.-KINGSTON, APRIL 4. BRAZIER V. THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. This cause was resumed to-day at half-past nine o'clock. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. T. J. Clark again ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Joseph Brown for the defendants. A g ood deal of scientific evidence was adduced on th part of the plaintiff, to show that the altera tion that had been made in the staircase was of an improper character, and tending to the result that bad occurred; and this closed the case. Mr. James made an address to the jury, with his usual ability, on behalf of the defendants, and he argued that they had done all in their power to render the building perfect, and that the unfortu nate occurrence, which he said they of course very much lamented, was the result of an accident over which they had no control, and that, therefore, they were not liable. A great many scientific persons. builders, and others, were called as witnesses, and they expressed an opinion that the alterations that had been made were justified by their experience, and that there was no reason for apprehending that the casing of the staircase in question with iron was at all Calcu lated necessarily to occasion the catastrophe that occurrEd. _ _ _ Mr. Justice Wightman summed up the whole of the evidence very carefully, and in the result left four questions for the consideration of the jury. Ist, whether the defendants had themselves been guilty of any negligence; 2dly, whether they had employed competent persons to perform the duty of making the alterations that were required ; 3dly, whether, supposing they had done so, those persons had pert formed the duty cast upon them in a proper-and workmanlike manner; and, 4thly, -- whether the accident was. attributable to their neglect in this particular, or to the defective manner in which the building had been originally constructed. The jury retired at half-past five o'clock, and at half-past six they returned into court, and said that with regard to the first question they were of opinion that there had been no negligence on the part of the defendants personally ; as to the second question, they were of opinion that they had em ployed competent persons to make the alterations. As to the third, they could not undertake to say that the persons so employed had taken the proper method to repair the staircase in question. Mr. Justice Wightman interposed, and said the question was one of negligence, and he should re quest the jury to say yes or no to the question whether the persons employed by the defendants to make the alterations had exercised the necessary skill and caution to effect that object. The jury then again retired, and were absent more than an hour, and upon their return into court they said they were of opinion that proper skill and caution had not been exercised by the persons employed by the defendants to make the repairs and alterations, and they therefore returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with £lO damages. An application was made by the attorney for the plaintiff for immediate execution, as there had been a suggestion that if the verdict in this case was adverse the company would take advantage of the Winding-up Act, but his lordship declined to make any order, as various points of law had been re served for further consideration. had been cut with a whip. He never saw an animal in a more shocking condition. It was very old, and he had no doubt the blows under its stomach had been inflicted with the thong of a whip, which he had in his pocket, and had been but lately broken from the handle. Defendant, in reply, said the pony and cart be longed to his friend's father. The pony wouldn't trot, but would gallop, and he might have hit it once, but he had not made it bleed, and there was nothing to prove he had. The officer said the other man knew nothing about it. It must have been most severely and re cently flogged to produce the marks of blood he had spoken of. Mr. Paynter having examined the pony, which was a Shetland, and in addition to the marks spoken of had scarcely any flesh upon its bones, made some very strong remarks. A more brutal case, he said, had never come before him, and there would some day be a day of retribution, when per sons guilty of such .shocking cruelty would be severely punished. It was a disgrace to the country that any man in it could so wantonly and cruelly ill treat a dumb animal. The pony was old, in bad condition, and worn out, with one fetlock on, the ground, and absolutely was not fit to be worked at all ;- and, because, owing to these circumstances, it was not able to go quickly, defendant had beaten it till the blood ran from it. He should fine him £5 or two months, and if any one used the pony again he would inflict the full penalty. Defendant was locked up. THE "BARON DE GAMIN."-SERIOUS AFFRAY. Pursuant to announcement, the "Baron de Gamin" on Sunday evening presented himself on the plat form at the Free-trade Hall, to preach on " Justifi cation by Faith." The circumstance of his having —after being a Roman Catholic priest for some 20 years—seceded from the Catholic communion, no doubt led a large number of Catholics to attend, some perhaps with the view of hearing him, but a large number, it would seem, for the purpose of silencing him. Mr. William Bremmer presided, and the hall was densely crowded, no charge being made for admission. When the preacher stood for ward to commence his address, he was greeted with the most discordant noises ; vollies of whistling and hooting proceeded from each side of the gallery, and from the body of the hail, and gave the idea of a disorderly theatre rather than anything of a sa cred character. As to proceed in the midst of such an uproar - was hopeless, the preacher retired into the adjoining room for a short time, but, on his return ' the disturbance was resumed. There were from thirty to forty of the police present, and it was noticed that two or three men had stationed themselves immediately in front of the platform, who acted as fuglemen, making signs to those in the gallery. The ringleader of these, an elderly man, was taken in charge by Sergeant Watson, one of the detectives. Immediately upon the dis covery that this man was seized, several hundreds rushed from the gallery towards the door, either from curiosity to see what would become of him, or with the view of rescuing him. Sergeant Wat son was beset by a number of men, and struck, and perceiving that an attempt at rescue would be made, he placed his prisoner between two officers in uni form, John Mather and another. When arrived in Mount-street, opposite the Friends' Meeting House, a crowd began to gather, and a cry was raised, which seemed to issue from a number of youths, " Let's rescue him." A savage attack was immediately made upon the policemen. Mather was knocked down, and so kicked on the head, that he had to go to the infirmary. A Selford officer, John 11I'Farlane, was also seriously assaulted. Mr. B. Jas. Murney, who attempted to assist the police, was also severely beaten, and upon freeing himself, he made his way . to the A division police station for additional assistance. Captain Palin, the chief constable, however, had a strong force about the hall, in anticipation that a breach of the peace might occur. The old man was rescued on the officers being disabled, but Sergeant Watson and another detective followed him through Bootle-street, and then chased him down Peter-street, into Deansgate, where he took refuge in a shop, and was secured. To avoid the danger of a second rescue, they conveyed him to the station at Knott Mill. Six of the assailants in Mount-street were cap tured. Michael Mack, who was alleged to have been the first to attack the officer, Mather ; James Derby and "John Langden, who struck Murney, and three others, -named Thomas Nearthny and James and Martin O'Brien. The officers who remained within the hail, after witnessing the continuous and determined disturbance for about three-quarters of an hour, commenced to drive out all who persisted in making a noise. This cleared the hall of about 1,500 persons. The remainder gathered in front of the platform, and were addressed by the preacher, who certainly does not speak English very intelli• gibly. His allusions to the Catholic religion were frequent, and, as might be expected, not of a very complimentary character. He made a slight dis tinction between Catholic priests and Puseyite par sons, designating the former " wolves," and the latter " wolves in sheep's clothing.—Manchester Examiner. THE NAVY.

COURT MARTIAL AT CHATHAM.—During the parade of the Royal Engineers on Monday, the adjutant, read the sentence of a court martial held on Corporal James O'Hanlin, who was tried on two charges. Firstly, for being absent from his duty on the morning of the 31st of March, and secondly for denying it to Sergeant Major Jones. He was found guilty of both charges, and the court sentenced him to be reduced to a private ; also to be imprisoned for twenty-eight days. Owing to his general good conduct, the imprisonment was remitted by order of the colonel commanding. It is stated the corporal was only absent about five minutes, he having gone into Brompton to see his sister off by the omnibus. He has since made his escape. MILITIA. The 4th Royal Lancashire Militia, the head quarters of which have been Warrington, after nearly three years' service in Ireland, at Berwick upon-Tweed, Aldershot, and Portsmouth, was on Thursday disembodied at Warrington, TILE BRAZILS AND _RIVER PLATE. The Royal Brazilian Mail Packet Tyne arrived at Southampton yesterday, with mails from the Brazils and the River Plate. Her dates are Buenos Ayres, Feb. 27 ; Monte Video, March 2 ; Rio de Janeiro, 11; Bahia, 15 ; and Pernambuco, 15. Her freight comprises diamonds of the value of £18,970 ; specie, from Rio, £11,483; from Bahia, £3,100; from Pernambuco, £1,675. The dispute between America and Paraguay is settled, America accepting about one-third of her demand. The flotilla had returned to Monte Video. English, French, American, and Brazilian squad rons were at Monte Video. From Buenos Ayres we hear of a revolution in Chili. _ _ The Buenos Apes Commercial Times says : " Speculation has been rife, and the excitemeir caused has proved very detrimental to legitimate business, which has been dull throughout the month, though the arrival of the packet infused consider ably more animation into most branches of our trade, but more especially into exports, the advices from all parts being highly favourable." Heavy rains had continued to fall at Rio, which had caused much damage to the coffee crop, and had prevented supplies from being brought to market. Yellow fever was prevalent among the shipping, though not so violent as last year. The new President of the Brazil Bank, Viscount Itaboraky, was installed about a fortnight before the sailing of the packet. Since the departure of the February packet sales of coffee may be estimated at 123,000 bags, and during the whole of last month about 160,000 chiefly purchased for shipment to the United States about 20,000 only for European ports. The bad weather and state of the roads have caused a decrease of existing stock, and prices have advanced fully 200 to 300 per arrobe since last advices. We quote—Superior, 5.400 to 5.600; Ist good. 5.200 to 5.300 ; Ist ordinary, 4.900 to 5.100 ; 2d good, 4.500 to 4.700 ; 2d ordinary, 4.000 to 4.400. Sales this month, 53.000 bags. Stock, 15.000 bags. Exchange for this packet has ruled at 251 d., 90 days' sight on London, at which rate about £580,000 has been passed. At Bahia there was a great want of rain. Crops were withering. A few cases of yellow fever had occurred. Little had been done in sugar during the past week. The Bahia Price Current says that 5 mil bags of coffee were sold at 4 per arroba, which, at the exchange of 26d.,is equal to 38s. 2d. per cwt. free on board, without freight ; and that stocks on hand consist of about 2 mil bags only, for which 4.100 per arroba is demanded. Freights were . gradually giving way, and closed flat. The following charters were effected during the week :—The Asia for London at 30s. per ton ; the Joshua Waddington for the Channel, and west ern or southern ports of Great Britain, 255. per ton ; the St. Pietro, for the Channel and Great Britain, 255. ; the Eudora, for the Channel and Great Britain, 255. Exchange transactions during the week were effected 26d. ; latterly drawers had refused to grant this rate, offering 2511, but nothing had as yet transpired at this quotation. At Pernambuco a good deal of rain had fallen, and it was expected that the prices of sugars would be fully maintained as entries fell off. Cotton had been in demand and prices had ad vanced. Entries were confined to 902 bags. Freights : Rates for the Channel have ruled at 355. to 375. 6d., and 5 per cent. far the United Kingdom, with the usual extras for the Continent. For Liverpool : 17s. 6d. to 205.; 5 per cent., sugars ballast; 5-16 d. to dd. and 5 per cent. per lb. cotton. For the Mediterranean, 455. and 5 per cent.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 4. SOUTHWARK.—BERMONDSEY AND THE POOR. —James Doyle, a rather intelligent looking lad, about 14 years of age, dressed in a miserable plight in tattered workhouse clothing, was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with tearing up his clothes in Bermondsey Workhouse. Fairburn, the porter, said that the lad was ad mitted into the casual ward on Saturday, and on the following morning all his clothes were torn up. He was supplied with others, but he tore them up also, and was given into custody. Mr. Burcham asked the prisoner why he tore up the clothes supplied to him by the officials ? The prisoner replied that he wanted to get into the Marine Society, and it was no use going there with such workhouse clothes on, and he told the authorities so, and believing they would give him some others he tore them up. Mr. Burcham asked him if he wished to be a sailor ?—He replied that ho did, as he had no parents or any one to keep him. How could he go the Marine Bociety_in such a 'state P He had not even a shirt on. , • - Mr. Burcham' asked the porter whether the lad had been supplied with a shirt ? Fairburn replied that he had part of one, and that he tore up. (Sensation.) Mr. Burcham was surprised to hear that. It seemed a disgrace to give a poor boy at a work house part of a shirt to wear. He did not wonder at his tearing that up. He also thought that the workhouse authorities might have assisted such a lad, who was rather intelligent, and wanted to avoid bad company and the streets by entering the Marine Society. He should not like to send such a lad adrift, consequently he would see what could be done for him. He directed Cohen, 210 M, an obliging officer, to take the boy to Bermondsey workhouse. and ask the authorities to assist the Court to rig the boy out so that he could go to the Marine Society. Surely they would lend him a helping hand, although the lad did not belong to their parish. Cohen proceeded as directed, and about two hours afterwards returned with the lad in the same miser able plight. He brought a message from the reliev ing office that he could not give the boy any other clothing but workhouse clothing, and the master refused to do anything more for him. Mr. Burcham asked him if he saw the relieving officer ? Cohen replied that he did not. The message was brought to him by an inmate. Mr. Burcham observed that the parish authorities and those at the workhouse were certainly not bound to assist the lad any further, but he had hoped they would have assisted the Court. Surely they must have some other sort of clothing besides the workhouse livery. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, here informed his worship that he had frequently observed lads and others brought to this court charged with tearing up their filthy clothes dressed in very tidy suits, not at all like workhouse clothing. He would, however, see the lad attended to, and send him to the Marine Society, where no doubt such an intelli gent lad would be received. Mr. Burcham directed the lad should be supplied with decent clothing out of the funds of the poor box, and expressed his surprise that the workhouse should send so young a lad out without even a shirt. He did not wonder after that that they refused to assist in clothing the lad. In the course of the afternoon Mr. Edwin had the lad decently clothed, and he was sent by In spector Reid to the Marine Society. The poor lad thanked his worship and Mr. Edwin for their kindness. THE ORANGE GIRL NUISANCE AT THE RAIL WAYS.—An impudent looking young Irish girl, named Jane Crawley, was charged with loitering on the incline of the South-Eastern Railway, at London-bridge, and assaulting one of the officers in the execution of his duty. Harlock, one of the constables, said that the pri soner, with a number of other girls, were in the habit of assembling on the incline, offering oranges for sale, much to the annoyance of the passengers to and fro. He had warned her off several times, but she repeated her conduct, and at last he was compelled to eject her, and in the performance of his duty she struck him a blow on the mouth. She also used very bad language. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she was only selling oranges when the officer interfered. As for striking him, that was an accident. Harlock said it was done intentionally, and a very hard blow. Moreover, the prisoner was one of the worst conducted girls about the place. The others left as soon as required, but she refused to go, and set him at defiance. The magistrate told her the incline of the rail way was the private property of the company, and she ought to have left when told. For the assault she must pay 10s., or be imprisoned 14 days. WESTMINSTER.—SHOCKING CASE OF CRUELTY TO A PONY.---Henry Lucas, a coster• monger, of Providence-place Lisson-grove, was charged with the following shocking cruelty. James Rutherford, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that yesterday afternoon he saw the defen dant, and another man about his size, in a cart drawn by a pony. Th e an i ma l was doing . its utmost, yet the accused was beating it on the righ. t side with a whip-handle as h ar d as he could; in fact, as though he was striking a piece of wood. and not a living creature. The pony was going very lame, and he observed that the hoof was in some way twisted inside, and the fetlock rested on the ground. The men presently stopped and got out , and when he reached th e animal he found blood coming from its st omac h i n sever al places where it THE LATE ACCIDENT TO THE CALAIS LIFEBOAT. A British officer, who was present at the inquiry at Calais relative to the accident to the lifeboat on the occasion of the recent wreck of the Prince Frederick William, gives the following as the cause which produced it : " 1. That the lifeboat was seriously damaged in contact with the steamer either before or after the accident to herself. " 2. That she struck her bow twice or three times under the steamer's stern, or counter, before getting alongside of her. "3. That when she got alongside she was held close to it by three ropes, made fast to her forward, amidships, and aft, each with little scope. " 4. That the passengers, on getting into the boat, were all placed in her starboard or off side, to prevent their getting injured against the vessel. " 5. That the boat then gradually heeled over more and more on the starboard side, until the gun wale was but little above the water ; and that she did not clear herself of the water she shipped, which remained to the depth of seven or eight inches on her deck. "6. That, when thus heeled over, a sea struck her on the off side, still further immersing it, and forcing her against the vessel, when she slowly turned over altogether, throwing those in her, 17 in all, into the water. " 7. That she did not right herself immediately, owing, as was supposed, to the persons in the water holding on by the life lines, but that she righted in about a minute after upsetting. "8. That the boat was then allowed to remain some time alongside, when the ropes holding her were let go, and she at once sheered off, and rode to her anchor, which had been let go before she went alongside. " 9. That the small boat of the steamer, which landed six passengers in safety, had been veered by a rope from the vessel when she was lying broad side to the shore, the water being smooth, from being under her lee. That, on the contrary, when the lifeboat was afterwards taken alongside, the tide having risen, the sea was much rougher, and the steamer had turned nearly head to the sea and wind." Reasoning from these premises, he considers that the boat was upset from the following causes : " That she was rope-bound to the vessel, and had not sufficient scope of line to allow her to rise and fall freely with the sea—of itself a sufficient cause to upset any boat in a sea-way. " That a 'large quantity of water having leaked in beneath her deck, caused a proportional quantity to remain undischarged on her deck, both which, on the boat heeling over to starboard from the weight of the passengers, would also have settled on that side ; and " That, while in this inclined position, the sea, which broke on and into her on the same side, still further depressed it, and drove her against the v essel's side, the reactionary force from wich com pleted the most effectual series of measures that could have been devised to upset a boat." [ADvEßTisEmENTHelloway's Pills.—Cold, Catarrh, Fever, Influenza.—Since dreary November opened her dismal calendar, the atmosphere has been exceedingly try ing to the strongest constitution. Few persons have escaped without colds; which, though seldom attended with immediate danger, often lay the foundation for the most serious diseases. At their commencement the cure is accomplished with ease ; reduce the existing fever and allay irritation, and the patient is himself again. To secure this desirable result no pharmacopoeia bears on its page any medicine or combination of medicines comparable with Holloway's antiphlogistic pills, which operating on the blood, their influence with it goes the whole round of the circulation, stimulates every organ, and excites the exha lants to perspire, which effectually removes the febrile action. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. "GENCE. SP O.RTL TATTERSALL' S--YESTERDAY. The afternoon was chiefly occupied with settling the Northampton accounts, and the following were the only bets laid : CITY AND SUBURBAN. 12 to 1 agst Fleet (offered) 15 to 1 agst Indifference (taken) METROPOLITAN STARES. sto 1 agst Lifeboat (offered) GREAT NORTHERN. 7to 1 agst Harraton (taken) CHESTER CUP. 13 to 1 agst Drogheda (offered) 20 to 1 agst Herne (taken) 20 to 1 agst Bevis (taken) 50 to 1 agst Leamington (taken) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 7to 2 agst Promised Land (taken) DERBY.

The weather yesterday having been magnificent, a very large gathering of spectators of all classes assembled—not withstanding the counter-attraction of the review—to wit ness the second day's steeplechases at La Marche ; and the attendance of sporting characters was much greater than on the preceding Sunday; the betting also was brisker. The business on the card comprised three events, and two of them excited extraordinary interest. The first of the three was the Great Annual Handicap of 6,000 fr., in which some of the very best horses in France figured, and amongst them Franc Picard, the most renowned of all, Kibworth Lass, Orkousta, and Casse-Cou. It was not Franc Picard, but one of his stable companions, Casse-Cou, who won ; but from the manner in which Kibworth Lass ran, she would probably have obtained the honour of winning if she had carried a trifle less weight. Great Annual Handicap of 6,000 f. for all horses, added to 500 f. entry, h ft; and 125 f. only if declared. The second to receive double his entry, the third to save his entry. Distance about 6,000 metres (31 miles). Any horso who after the publication of the weights may win a steeple chase handicap of the value of 2,500 f. to carry Gibs extra. Eight entries.

Betting—Even agst Franc Picard and agst Casse-Cou, 4to 1 agst Kibworth Lass, 6to 1 agst Battle. Casse-Cou got away first, Young Magnet second, Franc i'licarcl At the first fence Franc-Fieard took the second but on approaching thet plateau he fell into the third, Surprise taking the second, Casse-Cou retaining the first. At the dry ditch after the chateau, Casse-Cou and Franc Picard were nearly togethor,'Surprise being next, and Kibworth Lass next to her. No change took place to the hill, and here Surprise fell off, whilst Kibworth Lass went into waiting on the first two. In this order they con tinued to the brook, where Surprise and Battle fell, giving their riders a good ducking. After the brook Casse-Cou and Franc Picard remained in front, Orkousta taking the next position, and Kibworth Lass dropping into the fourth. They thus continued to the straight, anif there Franc Picard showed in front, Casse - Cou next to him, Orkousta and Kibworth Lass being well up. On drawing near the stands Kibworth Lass took the first place, but after a few strides Casse-Cou resumed it. On reaching the garden for the second time Franc Picard was beaten; and at the hill Kibworth Lass again strode to the front, Casse-Cou becoming second, Orkousta following. They continued in this order to the second fence in the straight, when Casse-Cou rattled on, and after a fine race between him and Kibworth Lass he won by a length and a half. About three lengths between the second and third. The pace throughout was good. Eight horses declared forfeit in this event. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

After sore haggling as to price, Mr. :Pegg, having samples, agreed. to 'take the goods, and they were duly sent in. A second lot was . offere4 in January in the present year, and accepted by plaintiff. These goods were sent out to a variety of.custoroters, and a Mr. Roach, of Pimlico, sent a commtinicatien to plaintiff notifying that the pieces were short about 3} yards each. The principle of trade involved is this—lnunense quantities of velvet ribbon are manufactured. in_ Germany for Eng• land and the continent. Those ribbons made far England are invaribly 171 yards, or from 17 to 171 yards in the piece ; those manufactured for the foreign states are from 14 to 15 yards to the piece. Now the goods giving rise to the present action were called " German ribbon velvet," and as such were accepted as 17f yards, and the price as such paid. The various witnesses called for plstintiff were men of considerable experience in the trade, and they posi tively swore that in their knowledge of the trade the term German ribbon velvet meant 17f yards in the piece. If by any chance (a most rare occurrence) any velvet manufactured for a foreign market found its way into this country the short measure was always notified. All the ribbons supplied by defendants were short, and plaintiff had allowed Mr. Roach £3 14s. 9d. ; and having measured those remaining in their own stock, they found a further deficiency of £4 Be. 7d. These two sums formed the amount claimed. Upon applying to defendants to reimburse the plaintiff for this loss, Messrs. Dillon refused, saying that no length was mentioned. Mr. Denny made this defence now, and the Common Sergeant said all were agreed'upon that point, and it only remained to prove the fact of what was under stood in the market by " German ribbon velvet?' Defendants were called, and said that the ribbons were job-lot, and that meant short measure ; but this was denied. 'Mr. Slater, one of the firm of Morrison and Dillon, said that he pointed out to defendants th'e well-known rule in the trade. Defendant's, however, persisted thattarge,quati tities of German ribbon velvet of only 14} yards in the piece were sold in London, and that . the price. asked was much lower than paid for the piece of 171 yards, but the jury stopped the case, and found for plaintiffs. • CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(rhis D'ay). / OLD COURT: (Before the Recorder.) • WATCH ROBBERY. James Smith was indicted for stealing a gold watch, the property of a lady named Da Silva Lever. From the evidence of the prosecutrix it appeared that she was, on the 14th of February last, passing along Darnley-road, Hackney, when the prisoner came up to her and inquired the way to " the Downs." She lifted her hand to point out the direction, and the next moment she felt something at her side, and immediately afterwards she discovered her watch had been stolen. She accused the prisoner of the robbery, but he denied it and ran away. She told some of the persons near her of the robbery, and the prisoner was pursued and captured. The watch was not recovered. The jury found the prisoner guilty. A city police-constable proved a former conviction for felony. The Recorder sentenced him to four years' penal servi tude. A young women, named Lanchester, was indicted for concealing the birth of her child. Mr. Lilly appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. Everett, a surgeon residing at Hornsey, said—On the 16th of February I went to a cottage at Muswell-hill. The prisoner was a servant there. I was shown up to her bed-room, and I asked the cause of her illness. She told me she had not been quite right for some time, and having taken an aperient it had made her unwell. I told her I could not be satisfied with such an answer. I informed her I was a surgeon, but she positively refused to allow the slightest examination of her bed. I told her I thought she had lately given birth to a child, but she said she had not. I said if she persisted in her refusal I would send for a con stable. I sent the other servants up stairs, and in a shore time afterwards I was called upstairs and was informed a bundle had been discovered. I took the parcel into ano ther room and found it contained the body of a male child not many hours old. He was tied up in an old apron. Ellen Maylie said—l was on the afternoon of the 16th of February sent upstairs! by *Dr. Everett, who told me I was to search the bed. I did so, and a bundle fell from between the bed and the palliasse. The prisoner picked it up and placed it under her night-dress. Mr. Sleigh contended that that circumstance did not amount to felonious disposition of the body within the meaning of the Act. The learned Recorder was of the same opinion. The jury immediately returned a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH. STREET. STEALING WEDDING RINGS.--William Johnson and Catherine Johnson, the latter with an infant in her arms, were charged with stealing two gold wedding rings from the shop of Messrs. Gass and Co., jewellers, of 166, Regent street. James Bowden, shopman in the employ of Messrs. Gass, said the prisoners came in a little before four o'clock, and the female asked to see some wedding rings. He showed her several, but there being none to fit, he said he would either alter or make one for her. While She was examin ing the rings the man, who was holding the child, shifted it between him and the rings, and at that moment witness, who was watching him, perceived him give a signal to the female, and she took two rings off the counter. He taxed her with it, when she replied " Me I what do you mean l'" At that moment Mr. Gass came forward, and another shop man saw a ring fall from her just as the other was taken from her. The value of the rings was 18s. each, and on the prisoners being searched all the money found on them was lld. Mr. Beadon said perhaps, living near the Kent-road, they would give some reason for being in that part of the town. — The male prisoner said business brought him there. A constable said a jeweller in Oxford-street was present in court, at whose shop they had been previous to going to Messrs. Gass, but was not positive whether lukhad lost anything.

LONDON -BRIDGE AND CHARING-CROSS RAILWAY. —The committee of the House of Commons (Mr. Ingham, cha i rman ), which has been enraged during the past fort night in considering the Charing-cross Bill, yesterday afternoon decided that the preamble had been proved, but t h e y required clauses to be inserted in the bill with refer ence to the compensation to be paid to the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital. The committee has been most pains taking in their inquiries into the merits of the case, having adopted the unusual course of personally visiting and exa mining the London-bridge Station, St. Thomas's Hospital, the crossing of Wellington-street, the interior of St. Sa viour's Church, and the Borough Market. A decision come to after so careful an investigation must necessarily give considerable confidence as to its soundness. _ THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THB BRITISH MUSEUM LIBRARY.--On Saturday afternoon, as the bell was about to be rung as the signal for closing, her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with the Princesses Alice and Helena, accompanied by the ladies and gentlemen in waiting, entered the new reading room of the British Museum Library. The presence of the royal party ex cited no little interest among the departing readers, and when, after a visit of an hour's duration, her Majesty emerged from the hall, the broad crimson cloth which had been extended from the outer doors over the steps and down to the carriages was closely lined on either side with students, old and young, including several ladies, who had been anxiously awaiting their sovereign's re-appeaninee- Her Majesty, who appeared in excellent health, alVl_whoo with the princesses, was attired in the simplest _fashic.a4 seemed pleased at the attention offered, nantly as she moved along leaning on the arm o and guil f Sh ad e P beni rin g ce to the littlo crowd who had tarried to witness Consort, and on re-entering the carriag° bosve hor d departgramousurloy.
