!WM MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There has been less activity exhihitpa in the Foreign anti Colonial Products Markets during the last few days. Prices, however, have in most in stances been well supported. The public sales of tea went off very heavily, and the inferior descrip tions sold for rather lower rates. Sugar has been at previous values, and the fine grocery qualities have been in fair demand. Coffee has been in steady request, and rice, spices, and fruit have been dealt in to a limited extent at about former values. yor saltpetre there was only a limited inquiry, and tallow has shown a decidedly upward tendency ; at public sale a rise of about 2s. per cent. was realised on some descriptions. The arrival of about £llO,OOO in gold was announced from Russia yesterday, £lOO,OOO of Which was taken into the Bank, besides £60,000 in Australian. The amount of specie to be taken out by the Peninsular and Oriental Co.'s steamer, the Salsette, on the 4th, is £90,356, viz., as follows : -- --L1,370 in silver for Alexandria, £lOO in gold for Madras, £38,886 in dollars for China, and £50,000 in sovereigns for Mauritius. In consequence of this influx, and the extensive supplies now coming forward from Australia, a favourable movement in the bullion department of the Bank is expected for some time to come. The balance-sheet to be published this evening will, it is imagined, exhibit some satisfactory changes, and this has tended to promote a more confident feeling in the English Stock Market. In Lombard-street there is rather less inquiry for money, provision having now been made for the commercial bills due on Saturday. The effect of the subscription to the Turkish loan has also dimi nished, and renewed easiness is now expected to prevail. The Market for American Securities during the Past week has been very quiet. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and. Company, report that the-only change of importance has been a slight improvement in Illi nois Central shares. No particular alteration took place in the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, and about 7,000 bales were disposed of at former values. In the Railway Share Market there was rather more firm ness, but prices of most of the leading lines declined. The letters by the Australian Mail are expected in town to-morrow. Among the arrivals announced this morning is the Koh-i-noor from China, with 320,5001b5. of tea. The Tyne, from Brazil, with the £101,739 already advised, has arrived. A firmer tone is perceptible in the English Stock Market, but it is still exceedingly, quiet, the real and speculative transactions daily recorded being very limited. The Turkish Loan seems to absorb the attention of most parties, but the prospect of a further large accumulation of gold strengthens the quotations, which now rather tend upwards. The settlement is likely to influence the market during the next few days, for it is generally believed that the outstanding engagements are extensive in their character. Consols are 96a I for money and the 7th inst., and 961 97 for the October account. The New Threes, and also the Reduced Annuities are marked 971 ; Exchequer Bills, March, 31s. prem ; and ditto June, 225. to 255. ; India Loan Debentures, Ist issue, have been dealt in at 989 ; ditto 2d issue, 989 ; ditto Scrip, 2d issue, 97i, and ditto Bonds (under £1,000), 1 ls. to 16s. prem. Very few transactions are recorded in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices are firmer, with the exception of Turkish Bonds, which are steady, the 6 per Cents. being 95 1, and the 4 per Cents. 141 . Spanish 3 per Cents., 45 ; ditto Deferred, 28 11 y ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 909; and Dutch 21 Per Cents. 651. The fluctuation in the New Turkish Scrip has been very extraordinary. Soon after the com mencement of business the price fell to a to 1 dis count, but there has since been a rally to 1 dis count. The speculation has been of the most violent character, the sales having been excessive. It appears that the applications for allotments have nrnounted to £4,200,000, and the loan may, there foro,- hi considered a success, notwithstanding its depreciation in the, market. If the subscribers supply the dealers there may be continued depres sion, but should they retain their interest in the operation the Bears will be greatly perplexed, and a reaction must ensue. • In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on a rather limited scale, but in several in stances a slight improvement has taken place in values. Chester and Holyhead, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, and South-Western Improved ss. ; and Bristol and Exeter and South astern, 10s. ; Great West ern have declined ss. ; 'cd.,,,astern Counties and Mid land, 10s. ; and North •e'astern (Berwick), £l. The Foreign and Colo -1141 lines have exhibited no change of importance. northern of France and Southern of France are a s hade firmer ; and Eastern of France have improved about ss. ; Grand Trunk of Canada advanced 10s. ; 441 East Indian are at previous rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dPalt in to a very limited extent. London and Westminster have declined ss. ; and Union of London, 10s. Canada Land have increased £1 ; mid Eastern Steam realised about former rates. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. !Per Cent. Reduced Annuities 971 f ' Per Cent. Consols Annuities New 3 per Cent.

Mr. Bradlaugh appeared for Sterne, who had petitioned for leave to surrender under his bankruptcy, having been proclaimed an outlaw for non-surrender. The petition set forth the several facts, and the defendant alleged that he had been induced to abscond by his partner. His Honour said that was no excuse ; every man was re sponsible for his own acts. 71 8 24 25 Mr. Solomon objected to the bankrupt being allowed to surrender. He had been abroad for 12 months, and now came back without a farthing for the creditors, and before he started he had gone to several of the debtors and got all he could. 9 211 23 371 38 — 9 1 - 0 P 3 1d 321 321 53 55 par p Mr. Bradlaugh said it would be beneficial to the estate the bankrupt had protection, as he would assist in get- ting in the accounts, but the fact was his partner kept the books and left him in the dark, so that when he left he had no idea of bankruptcy. His Honour—That is absurd.

His Honour—But not till he had spent all the money. As the creditors object, I do not think it is a case in which I ought to interfere. The bankrupt had better at once place himself in communication with them, and if possible induce them to consent. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. The case was ultimately adjourned for a week for that purpose.

CAPTURE OF A MANUFACTURER OF BASE COlN.—Thos, Ferryman, a shoemaker, and Ann Ferryman, were charged before Mr. Bingham, by Mr. James Brannan, late an in spector of police, with having in their possession 1,5 coun terfeit sixpences, 10 groats, and one half-crown, a galvanic battery, several files, a quantity of white metal, and: all the other necessary implements used for the purpose of pre paring counterfeit coin. Mr. Bollard, from the office of the solicitor of the Mint, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. James Brannan said—ln consequence of ins true- Lions he received he went to the residence of the prisoner, 3, Crown-place, Soho, and having left some officers outside, proceeded to the room of the prisoner, accom panied by Inspector Brian, of the G ltdivision, and Brannan 21 G, and having effected an entrance by forcing the door found the prisoner in bed. He said he had come to pay him a visit, and the male pri soner said, " Well, Mr. Brannan, you won't find. much. You may find sufficient to give me a ' stretch' (a twelve month)." He then, assisted by the other officers, searched the place, and found several counterfeit coins, at td on a shelf in the room a galvanic battery jar, containing a quantity of solution of acid used in coating counterfeit coin, and in a box a galvanic battery complete, with a wire at tached, the end of which had been dipped in the solution, several files, plaster of Paris, and all the other implements used in the manufacture of counterfeit coin. The Solicitor for the Mint requested a remand, which was immediately granted. Mr. Brannan said he believed the woman had roc ently been convicted. BRITISH MINES, Mines.

DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH THREE SOLDIERS.--Ritcha rd Goodhall, Thomas Maclaren, and William Higgins, in ivates in the Scots Fusilier Guards, stationed in the To • wer of London, were brought before Mr. Selfe charged with, being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting several policennen and civilians. _ _ _ v. It appeared from the evidence of John Payne, waiter, and John Bates, barman at the Blue Anchor public-h reuse at the corner of Dock-street, near the Sailors' Home, I atcliff highway, that the prisoners came there last night aned made a disturbance. They were ejected, and then mado a row outside. They entered the house a second time and be came very disorderly. After .a severe struggle they were ejected a second time. They entered the house together for the third time at half-past eleven o'clo(11c, and Higgins, as he entered the house, dashed his fist tba.ough a large pane of plate glass, worth 50s. The prison( nes then "kicked up a row," and took off their belts, with which they attacked the waiter and barman. Payne wao struck on the head, and several quiet persons in front of the bar were also struck by the prisoners, who also assault cal seve ral females. The prisoners were once more eject red from the Blue Anchor, and then made an attack on tl ie police with their belts. Goodhall and Maclaren struck at Easton, 191 H, right and left with their belts, and his ; hat was knocked to pieces. Easton was quite sure he should have been killed if a reinforcement of police had not • arrived. Easton defended himself with his staff as well as he was able and struck Goodhall and Maclaren about the b ody with it. The row then became general, and the mob were so exasperated with the savage conduct of the soldiers that they made a fierce attack upon them, and they N were sub dued. _ _ Police-constable 417 A said when he came up the pri soners were striking right and left with their belts. The soldiers were very drunk A sergeant of the regiment to which the prisoners be long said they were generally very well-behaved men. Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry to see men of good cha racter in such a disgraceful position, but he had no. alterna tive but to punish them for their violence and improper conduct. He sentenced them each to 14 days' imprison ment in the House of Correction. THIS DA F'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A fair average supply of wheat has come to hand this week coastwise—viz., 2,110 qrs. Fresh up to-day the re ceipts from Kent, Essex, and Sussex, by land-carriage, were limited. Hence the show of samples was small. Se lected parcels sold, without difficulty, at full prices ; but low and damp qualities moved off slowly, at about Monday's currency. There was a large show of foreign wheat, for which we experienced a slow inquiry, at stationary prices. In floating cargoes of grain about an average business was passing. The show of English barley was limited, of foreign ex tensive. Sales progressed steadily, at full quotations. We had a moderate inquiry for malt. In prices no change took place. Oats, the supply of which was tolerably good, were in fair request, at previous quotations. Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

Their co ndition is remarkably fine, but as yet it is difficult to quote prices accurately. The plantation accounts tend to prove that the duty will be fully £255,000, at which sum it is still estimated. Yearling and old hops are much neglected. COLONIAL.

GREENWICH AND THE MAIN DRAINAGE SCHEME. —A meeting of the Greenwich District Board of Works was held last evening at the board-room adjoining the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, for the purpose of takin g into . consi deration the proposed placing of the outfalland the con struction of deodonsing works in the Greenwich marshes. The chair was occupied by Mr. Alderman 'Wire, and there was a large number of members present from the parishes of St. Paul and St. Nicholas, Deptford, including the ham let of Hatcham. Capt. Routh, in a brief address, moved . the following r esolution :—" That any - k roposition for an outfall at Greenwich, and for deodorising or defecating the sewage of the southern side of the metropolis in or near the Greenwich marshes, is highly objectionable, and fraught with daner to the health of the inhabitants of this popu lous district ; and this board therefore proteSts against any such plan or project, the effect of which would be so inju rious to persons and property in this district, being carried into effect."

A meeting of the Royal National Life-boat In stitution was held yesterday, at its house, John btreet, Adelphi ; Captain LAMBERT PERROTT in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, A reward of D. was voted to a man named James Conolly, in consideration of his intrepid conduct in rescuing, by wading into the surf, at considerable risk of life, three women and a boy who were observed by him to be in a very perilous position off Errislannin, on the coast of Galway. It appeared that they had been engaged during the day in collecting some seaweed. The women, at low water were landed on a rock which was nearly covered by the sea. In order to make fast the boat, the lad threw a rope with a stone attached to it on the rock. It, however, slipped off, and in endeavour ing to get it again into the boat, he fell overboard, and the boat drifted into the sea. C onolly, hearing the screams of the women, ran to their assistance, and swam off. After much risk and considerable difficulty he succeeded in reaching the boat and in picking up the boy, who was by this time perfectly insensible. Conolly then proceeded to the relief of the three women, whom he found clinging to each other and up to their waists in water, the tide having flowed and covered the rock. A reward of £3 was also voted to three fisher men for rescuing, at considerable risk of their lives, one out of two persons from their curragh, which had, during a gale of wind, been capsized off Innis bruin, near Clifden. One poor man lost his life before succour could possibly reach him. He was the only support of his widowed mother. The salvors had performed their laudable services with much promptitude, and had incurred considerable peril in saving the man by taking him on board their curragh. A reward of £1 was likewise granted to John Johnstone, in acknowledgement of his gallant ex ertions, at the risk of his life, in assisting to save three out of fiva persons whose fishing-boat had been capsized by being struck by a cross sea in attempting to enter Rosehearty harbour, on the Banffshire coast, during a heavy land surf, which occasionally breaks over the rocks which line that coast, particularly after a storm, as was the case on the occasion in question. Two of the boat's crew were under the boat, and the other three were seen struggling for their lives in the surf. In the ex citement of the moment, when the people on shore appeared to be paralysed as to the best way they could render assistance, Johnstone, although not able to swim, rushed into the surf, and having helped one to get a safe footing, proceeded, at the risk of his life, to the rescue of another man who was observed to be rapidly sinking to rise no more. A third man succeeded, unaided, in reaching the shore, but the two persons who were under the boat unfortunately perished It was stated that the National Lifeboat Institution was building a lifeboat to be stationed at Fraserburgh, on the Banffshire coast, but several others are required in the localities of the extensive herring fisheries on that and the neighbouring coast, where frequently fearful loss of life takes place_ Our fishing boats, like too many of our coasting vessels, are too often found destitute of any appliance, such as a cork lifebuoy or lifebelt, to save life when overtaken by an accident such as the one recorded above. The wretchedness which is frequently caused by such accidents in the homes of these poor, but industrious, men is really inde scribable. The institution decided to station a new lifeboat at Carnsore, on the coast of Wexford, where wrecks are of frequent occurrence. A lady whose life was saved from drowning under very peculiar circum stances had generously offered to defray the en tire cost, about £3OO, of this lifeboat establish ment. The society also agreed to place a lifeboat at Dundalk, where, it will be remembered, con siderable loss of life took place last winter. A gentleman, from London had given £lO5 towards the cost of this benevolent undertaking. The in stitution was likewise building eight lifeboats for various other places on the English and Irish coast. The quarterly reports of the exercise of the sixty or seventy lifeboats which the institution has under its management, were stated to be of a very satisfactory character. It is sincerely hoped that, through the liberality of the public, the society will be enabled to pursue its successful exertions in the cause of humanity with uninterrupted vigour. Last year alone the lifeboat saved 398 persons from a watery grave. An interesting report was rea,dby Captain Ward, RN., the inspector of lifeboats of the institution, on the state and condition of the several lifeboat establishments of the society on the Irish coast. The constant supervision of its numerous lifeboat stations by a thoroughly practical officer, together with the system of paid masters and crews attached to each boat, has secured such a state of uniform efficiency in all the society's lifeboats as was pre viously unknown in this or in any country in re gard to the management of lifeboats. It was reported that the late Miss Church, of Berkeley, who had been a liberal subscriber to the institution for some years, had left it a legacy of £lOO. The proceedings then closed. PLAY AT WIESBADEN.—The bank at the Cursaal of Wiesbaden was broken last week by a Prussian gentle man. In less than half-an-hour the bank encountered two heavy losses, which, being backed with spirit, resulted in a loss to the establishment of 250,000 f. The Prussian played the highest stakes (8 500 f.) authorised by the bank, and his example was followed by other players. This success will doubtless afford immense consolation to those whose hard cash had contributed to the accumulation of the quarter of a million thus rapidly swept away.. DEATH OF DR. J. W. WATSON.—Mr. John Wm. Watson, M.D., F.R.S.E., whose death occurred at Bath on Monday last, aged 66, entered the army as hospital assistant on the 10th of December, 1812 ; became assistant surgeon on the 4th of March, 1813 ; staff surgeon, 6th of April, 1826 ; and retired on half-pay, with the rank of deputy inspector-general of hospitals, on the 16th of De cember, 1845. QUARANTINE.—We learn from Malta that, owing to a mistake on the part of the commander of the Pera in opening the box which contained the bill of health issued at Gibraltar, the ship was declared by the health authori ties to have communicated with that port. In conse quence of this so-called communication the ship will pro bably be subjected to the full term of quarantine at Alex andria on arrival from Gibraltar. As a further consequence of this contact, the passengers per Peru have to strictly undergo a quarantine of 10 days at Malta; but it is not improbable the period may be shortened. A Swiss MILLIONAIRE.—We have already men tioned the death at Basle of M. Merian, who was probably the wealthiest inhabitant of Switzerland. He has left the bulk of his large fortune, amounting to upwards of forty million francs, to his wife for life, and after her death it will go to the town of Basle, his birthplace. He has be queathed about four millions to some collateral relations, and a similar sum td be divided among some charitable in stitutions, misssionaries, his medical attendants, his notary, clerks, servants, &c. By a singular clause in his will M. Merian has given to all parties who were indebted to him at the time of his death a year's interest on their respective debts.—Galignani's Messenger. CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day, Thurs day, Sept. 2.—Admissions on payment, 4,931 ; ditto, by season tickets, 620; total visitors, 5,551. RUSSIA.—A letter from St. Petersburg, dated 24th of August, in the Independence Beige, says :—" Since the departure of the Emperor a courier has arrived from Astra khan with disastrous news. A powder magazine bas ex ploded. It contained 96,000 kilogrammes , a quantity th appears to me to be exaggerated ; but however that may be, the half of the town has been destroyed by the effects of this formidable explosion, and a portion of the other half has become the prey of the flames. The environs of St. Petersburg have also been the disaster—the scen e of a burning of the forests. This is a great misfortune,. for forests, everywhere precious are particularly so in It assia, from the scarcity of wood. It was reported yesterday that fresh disturbances had occuiT .ed Esthonia among the peasants, and always from the same c a use. The f act is quite possible. It is said also that in the interior of the empire th ere are here and there villages the peasants of which refuse to labour on pretext of being free, and soldiers are obliged to be sent to restore order. Not only is this possible, but it must be so sooner or later. It cannot be expected that a population of 50,000 can be made to comprehend in a day their new social condition. Before Ins departure • the Emperor promulgated a fresh decree of emancipation. He has re stored to liberty all the peasants of the Imperial palaces, who number about 200,000. The Czar, in manifesting his will touching the enfranchisement of these peasants, asked in virtue of what law they had fallen into servitude, and demanded they should produce it. But no document could," be laid before the Inipm:ial eves. Th e E m p eror then asked w h a t were the regulations 'by which the col ee's ar4 the labours of the peasants were distributed. The answer was that the only rule was the written or verbal or' ers of the • general at the head of that especial administration. What • follows is prodigious, unheard of, and incredible. The high dignitary referred to, hearing of the new law re specting these peasants, wrote to the Emperor, beseech ing His Majesty to grant him, in consideration of his . long services, the favour of leaving things in static quo I until the end of his life. This exorbitant naivette gives an dea of the notions prevailing in Russia among:meniof the oild regime." LORD DERBY'S RETIREMENT FROM THE TURF. The announcement that the entire stud of Lord Derby is about to be disposed of by auction is calcu lated to give rise to much misapprehension in the public mind. The circumstance is likely to cast a gloom in racing circles, for unwelcome as the tidings of the breaking up of Lord Derby's stud would have been at any period, it sounds additionally un pleasant while the noble lord holds the highest poli tical position, and when his countenance to the pas time of the people is likely to operate with such beneficial results. Still the fact must not be mis understood. We do not for a moment imagine that Lord Derby's determination to dispose of his horses arises from relaxed ardour for sport, or that he is partly severing his connexion with the turf from disgust or indifference to its interests. Certain people will, doubtless, place such a construction upon the conduct of the noble lord ; but we trust that their suppositions may be entirely without foundation. The announcement has been so sudden, and the racing public so little anticipated such a step, that we could almost wish that Lord Derby had favoured us with another Jockey Club letter, briefly explaining his motives, in order that all un easiness and misconception might be allayed. The fact admits of no disguise. Were a report to get abroad that his lordship meant to withdraw entirely from the turf, the cause of racing would be seriously damaged. That such is not the case, we have little hesitation in affirming, and believe we are regard ing the matter in its true light if we look upon it as a sacrifice on the part of the noble lord at the shrine of public duty. Lord G. Bentinck acted in a precisely similar manner, and when the cares of statesmanship fell thick upon him surrendered his inclinations, in order to devote his whole energies to the service of his country. Yet, the interest which that nobleman evinced for the welfare of the turf remained unabated to the last; and although he broke up his stable, he never missed an opportunity of promoting the good of our " Isthmian games." That the step which Lord Derby has seen fit to take is merely a parallel one with that of the " Napoleon of the turf " is tolerably clear, and we cannot for a moment credit the vulgar idea enter tained by a portion of the public, that so true a sportsman abandons a racing stud because Toxo philite disappointed him at the Derby, or because his lucky star is not in the ascendant. The Pre mier can be influenced by no such considerations ; the motives which we have suggested are, in all probability, those which have impelled him to dis pose of his horses. It is impossible to over-esti mate the importance of Lord Derby's patronage to turf pursuits, for, with a Prince Consort who can not top a three-foot hedge after a pack of harriers, and who thinks an Ascot Cup day a bore, we can ill afford to lose the support of the Premier of Eng land.—Sunday Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY. The few subscribers that assembled in the room did not evince much disposition to resume business. After 3to 1 to nearly 200 had been taken about Toxopholite, 500 to 200 was booked. 7 to 2 was the highest offer against Fits Roland ; 4to 1 was wanted. 20 Co 1 would have been laid freely against Longrange. Several inquiries were made after Governess, but no bet was made about her. For the Derby, 40 to 1 to a pony was taken about Gamester. DERBY RACES.-THURSDAY. Innkeepers' Plate.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the Decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officer and soldier, who have been re commended to her Majesty for that Decoration on account of Acts of Bravery performed by them in India, as recorded against their respective names, viz. : Lieutenant (now Captain) Frederick Robertson Aikman, 4th Bengal Native Infantry—This officer, commanding the 3d Sikh Cavalry on the advanced picquet, with 100 of his men, having obtained information, just as the force marched on the morning of the Ist of March last, of the proximtty, three miles off the high road, of a body of 500 rebel infantry, 200 horse, and 2 guns, under Moosahib Ali Chuckbdar, att ac k e d an d utterly routed them, cutting up more than 100 men, capturing two guns, and driving the survivors into and over the Goomtee. This feat was per formed under every disadvantage of broken g round, and partially under the fl an ki ng fi re of an adjoining fort. Lieut. Aikman received a severe sabre cut in the face in a personal encounter with several of the enemy. Gunner William Connolly, Bengal Horse Artillery.— This soldier is recommended for the Victoria Cross for his gallantry in action with the enemy, at Jhelum, on the 7th of July, 1857. Lieutenant Cookes, Bengal Horse Artillery, reports, that " about daybreak on that day, I advanced my half troop at a gallop, and engaged the enemy within easy musket range. The sponge-man of one of my guns having been shot during the advance, Gunner Connolly assumed the duties of 2d sponge-man, and he had barely assisted in two discharges of his gun, when a musket-ball, through the left thigh, felled him to the ground ; nothing daunted by pain and loss of blood, he was endeavouring to resume his post, when I ordered a movement in retirement, and though se verely wounded, he was mounted on his horse in the gun team, and rode to the next position which the guns took up, and manfully declined going to the rear when the ne cessity of his so doing was represented to him. About 11 o'clock, a.m., when the guns were still in action, the same gunner, whilst sponging, was again knocked down by a musket-ball striking him on the hip, thereby causing great faintness and partial uncon sciousness, for the pain appeared excessive, and the blood flowed fast. On seeing this, I gave directions for his removal out of action;. but this brave man hearing me, staggered to his feet, and said, 'No, sir, I'll not go there, whilst I can work here,' and shortly tfterwards he again resumed his post as sponge-man. " Late in the afternoon of the same day, my three guns were engaged at one hundred yards from the walls of a vil lage with the defenders, viz., the 14th N.I. (mutineers), amidst a storm of bullets which did great execution. Gun ner Connolly, although suffering severely from his two previous wounds, was wielding his sponge with an energy and courage which attracted the admiration of his com rades, and while cheerfully encouraging a wounded man to hasten in bringing up the ammunition, a musket ball tore through the muscles of his right leg ; but with tho most undaunted bravery he struggled on ; and not till he had loaded six times did this man give way, when, through loss of blood, he fell in my arms, and I placed him on a waggon, which shortly afterwards bore him in a state of unconsciousness from the fight."

BY HIS -,ER OF A PUBLICAN WIFE AT DUDLEY. This CAI,' DUDLEY, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. e continues to create considerable excite ment, 'and several circumstances have tended to in creil..se rather than diminish it within the last two days. In the first place, the county magistrates, after hearing the evidence against Mrs. Webster (wife of the deceased), came to the conclusion, on Monday, that two of her daughters had assisted in the attack upon their parent, and that the injuries he had received had resulted in his death. The woman and her two daughters, and a person named Edward Oliver, who was proved to have taken part in the outrage, were therefore committed to take their trials at the forthcoming assizes for wilful murder. Yesterday evening, Mr. H. Robinson, the co roner, resumed the inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of the unfortunate man Web ster, at the Swan Inn, and the coroner took occa sion to express his disapprobation at the conduct of the magistrates in hearing the case, and coming to a decision upon it before the inquest had termi nated. Such a course was, he thought, to say the least, unusual, and he believed he was deserving of more respect than had been shown him by the Jus tices before whom the police inquiry had been con ducted. The eviance was very voluminous, and went clearly to prove that the deceased Was knocked down in his own house, and beaten by his wife about the head with a poker, which was completely bent by the force of the blows. His daughters as sisted their mother, and the unfortunate - manwas beaten and kicked in so violent a manner that ha died soon afterwards. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the mother and daughters, expressiv s an opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to justify a similar verdict against the man 4r_cused of assistmg in the outrage. - ..., :'he sirs ler is Pe of ;ed s a red of es, int ian las oc- Ay La art aid aid red for DSO Share 13.14 Stock, Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock stock Stock' Stock] Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 16f 1613 4 Stook 11.6.3 11.6.3 Stock Stock 12i Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock' Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock, Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock stock) Stock' Stock Share Paid. 100 100 100 100 100 100 -
