POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, BOW-STREET. William Stephens, described as a " horso-coper," was placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting his wife, and turning her out of doors. The complainant said on Sunday night about half-past ten sho went to a public-house to persuade the prisoner to come home and give her and the children something to eat, which he refused. lie told her to go to the wcrkhouse, when she told him she had been there, and that now she should go to the station-house. He said he would go with me, and we both went. The inspector told her he could do nothing for her, and we then all went home. When we got in doors be caught her by the arm and said, "If I cannot slowly murder you I'll starve you to death." He then struck her several times. Per body was now covered with bruises from the prisoner's ill-usage. The prisoner after he had beat her went to bed. lie turned her out of doors, and she then had to go to her sisters. Mr. Vaughan asked the witness how long she and her husband were quarrelling. Witness said from half-past ten to nearly two o'clock, after that he " chucked" her out of doors. Mr. Vaughan—But what was going on between you and your husband between ten and two ? Witness —We were quarrelling all the time. Prisoner said the witness was a disorderly and violent woman, and that the violence she complained of occurred because he was preventing her getting at the knives, as she had previously struck him with a fork. The sister of the complainant said sho witnessed the violence of the prisoner towards his wife. She received a blow and a violent pinch from the prisoner, as she was relieving his wife from his ill-treatment. She had heard the prisoner say that if he could not murder his wife he would starve her. Mr. Vaughan—Do you ever go to the public-house ? Witness—No, sir; I never had a glass of spirits, and I only lately have had a little beer because of my baby. Police-constable F 20 said he took the prisoner into custody this morning on a warrant. Ho denied ever hav ing ill-treated his wife. The case was adjourned for the attendance of additional witnesses. WESTMINSTER. THE CHARGE OF FORGING TIIE COUNTESS BELLEW'S WILL.—Mrs. Anne Casse, of Winterton House, St. John's wood, appeared for further examination, charged with forging two signatures to the will of the late Countess Bellew. The evidence of several witnesses in the case having been taken, The court adjourned. THAMES. EXPENSIVE A➢iUSEMENT.—Joseph Searles, a young man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wilfully break ing a public lamp in Railway-street, Bromley, Middlesex. Richard Walter, a police constable, No. 378 K, stated that he saw the prisoner coming over a high railway bridge this morning at a quarter past 1 o'clock. There was a lamp on the bridge, and the prisoner made a blow at it with a stick, and missed. The prisoner then retreated to the steps at the top of the bridge, made a run, and struck the lamp with his stick. One of the panes of glass in the lamp was broken. Its value was only ls. ; but he had been informed by the parochial authorities that the system of lamp breaking was carried on to a great extent by young men and other stupid persons, and that from twenty-five to thirty lamps were broken in the imme diate district of Bromley and Poplar every night. Mr. Paget fined the prisoner 405., and Is. in addition the value of the glass, which was paid. A BRUTE.—WiniaM Brown, a labourer, was charged with assaulting a married woman named Harriett Coppin, of No. 1, Ann's-row, Stepney Green. The complainant was in the Mile-end Road, returning from a butcher's shop with meat for his dinner, when she received what she termed a severe "smash " on her face, which was followed by two or three other smashes on the face, and on the eye, with some blunt instrument. She was blackened and swollen, but there Ras nothing in the appearance of her face to confirm her statement that she had been struck with a blunt instrument. Several witnesses saw the prisoner strike the woman on the face with his fists, and she did not give the semblance of Provocation. She never saw the prisoner before. He was an entire stranger to her. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a strange, brutal, and savage assault on a respectable woman pass ing quietly along a public thoroughfare. Women were entitled to protection from such outrages as these. fie sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. MAKING TOO FREE WITH TIER KNlFE.—Benjamin Button, a leather cutter, residing in Bermondsey, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows: —Pawson, 121 0, said that shortly after seven the previous evening he saw the pri soner drunk and behaving in a very disorderly manner in Great Chapel-street, Oxford-street. The prisoner, who caused a great disturbance, then ran away. A person then said that the prisoner had attempted to stab him, and he went after him and took him into custody, and found in his pocket a knife. Mr. James Humphreys, of No. 14, Great Chapel-street, said that while passing up the street a person asked him the cause of the disturbance. Ho said he did not know, but that he had seen two men fighting ; then the prisoner stepped up and said, "If you make a laugh of it I will give you this," at the same time taking a knife f.tom out of his sleeve and holding it close to his face, " and the first man who comes out of Pickford's office I'll be hanged for." In answer to Mr. Tyr Whitt, the witness said the pri soner was an entire stranger to him, and he had not given him any provocation. Ho believed the prisoner was drunk and mistook him for some person at Pickford's (the carrier's) office. The prisoner said he had a drop of ale with some of his shopmates, and while at the public-house a stranger came in and drank out of his glass. This led to a fight between them, but he remembered nothing about taking out a knife to the witness. Mr. Tyrwhitt said persons who were in the habit of drawing knives on the slightest occasion must be shown that such a thing could not be permitted, and the prisoner must therefore find bail to keep the peace for six months. The Danubian Principalities. A circular note, address ß ed uc o u n A tt ST 2 , o last, by Pri n ce J o h n Ghik a, th e Mi n i s t er f or F ore i gn .tlha Februaryreh 29. Affairs in the Roumanian Provisional Government, to the representatives of the guaranteeing Powers in this capital, has just appeared. ' After briefly alluding to the deposition of Prince Couza and the election of the Count of Flanders as the new llospodar, the note proceeds : " When the signatory Powers of the Treaty of Paris consulted the Roumanians as to their wishes for the future organisation of the country the latter did not fail to reply in all sincerity to that appea of Europe, which took the Principalities under her protection. The divans ad hoc, the exact and sin cere representatives of all classes, unanimously stated, after mature deliberation, their principal desires ; foremost among which were the union and hereditary rule of a foreign prince chosen from one of the reigning families of Europe. But although the assemblies had striven to explain the absolute necessity of fulfilling this twofold wish, in order to secure and consolidate the existence of the people, the Powers did not think fit to accede to it at once, and the Roumanian nation was forced to proceed to the election of a native prince. This happened after 20 years of a state of things whose condition had not furnished men of the future with the opportunity of developing their abilities, of proving their strength, and of creating for themselves a name which gave them authority—a circumstance which combined with the reciprocal distrust and jealousy arising from the strife of parties, and whose inevitable effect was the exclusion by each other of all men of any value. What but absolute negation could result from these data ? " The Roumanians had foreseen, as shown by the detailed votes of the assemblies, the lamentable con sequences of the election of a native prince. These consequences are enumerated in the statement of the ad hoc divan which met at Jassy. Neverthe less, all parties did not fail to rally around the newly-elected ruler, in order to support him with all their strength.. But they were unfortunately obliged to perceive and to admit from day to day . that Prince Couza, entertained a positive repug nance to men of principle and conviction. It was not long before he was surrounded by a clique against whom the most conciliatory were obliged to display their just dislike. Nevertheless, setting aside differenees, men of all parties, after mutual concessions, had; I repeat, united their efforts to provide a peaceful remedy for a condition of affairs daily becoming more difficult. "It was in vain for the friends of the prince, thwarted in their cupidity by a chamber which in sisted upon controlling the employment of the tax payers' money, profited by their ascendancy to use it in representing those who endeavoured to turn the sovereign from his evil courses as obstacles to the welfare of the country, and, by dint of falsify ing the truth as to men and things, they succeeded in justifying the coup d'etat of May 2, 1864, in the sight of Europe. Subsequent facts were of a cha racter to undeceive tho public mind. Far from procuring for the country a government strong by the organisation of an intelligent administration, and by impartial justice, the coup d'etat only acce lerated the disorganisation by giving free vent to the rapacious instincts of the men who lived on terms of intimacy with the prince, or with his friends, and who were in possession of his favours. They were able, lastly, to reign without control, and we had thus the spectacle of a Government devoid of shame and of every moral sense. Under the Government which then weighed upon it the nation felt itself humiliated and dishonoured in the sight of Europe. The general discontent among all classes was the precursor of an overthrow as inevit able as it was desired. Partialities and injustice of all kinds had finished by affecting the army,frequently employed to serve against unarmed men, seduced in front of the cannon by the intrigues of the police and by fictitious plots. holidays were converted into seasons of ang'iish and mourning, while the troops were under arms, and citizens dragged to prison. The affair of Aug. 3, brought about by police provocations, unsealed the eyes of the army, and made it aware of the odious artdrsinister part it had unconsciously played in that horrible party tragedy. Thence arose a reaction due to its neglect. In ordi nary times the best officers were suspected and dis graced. Promotion was the recompense of intrigue, or the result of favouritism. Speculations were en tered into in the supplies, all the susceptibilities of officers were wounded, their military honour was affronted. Service became impossible under a Go vernment that had lost all moral influence over the minds of the army and the people. " To sum up, anarchy and improbity, denial of every principle of justice, rash reform of laws affect ing the most vital interests, toleration of the most scandalous abuses ; the summons to or maintenance in the public service of persons of bad reputation, always ready to sacrifice the general welfare to their selfish ends ; corruption or threats employed in parliamentary and municipal elections, open inter ference in private litigation, and consequently pres sure brought to bear upon the magistrates and high functionaries to force them to deliver judgments foreign to equity and repugnant to their consciences; utter heedlessness and waste of the public funds to the most alarming extent, entailing a poverty of which the treasury will long feel the deplorable effects; absolute want of credit,with:the;impossibility up to the present time of its being raised either at homo or abroad ; lastly, to complete the work, de moralisation in all branches of the public service, contempt for family, property, and religion. Such is the sum total of the responsibility resting upon the late Government, which the Roumanian nation, after seven long years of exemplary resignation, found itself compelled to displace to avoid being dragged into the abyss whither the sovereign was rapidly hurrying." All these evils, the circular deduces, were the result of the Roumanians having been compelled to elect a native prince. If these calamities are not to recur, the only combination, says Prince Ghika, " capable of offering guarantees of stability and prosperity," is the appointment of a foreign sove reign as the future liospodar. The note concludes with an earnest appeal to the sagacity and good-will of the guaranteeing Powers, in concert with the Sublime Porte, to furnish a remedy so ardently de sired by the entire population of the two Princi palities. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ---♦ - SOUTH-WESTERN AND LUDGATE-HILL. Yesterday the connecting line between the Metro politan Extension (Ludgate-hill) of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway and the Clap ham junction of the South-Western Company, was opened for public traffic with much success. The first train was started from the new station at Kingston, under the supervision of Mr. W. God son and Mr. W. M. Williams, the passenger super intendent of the South Western Railway, at eight o'clock, and reached Ludgate-hill at 95, passing on its route the Richmond, Clapham Junction, Brix ton, Camberwell New-road, Elephant and Castle, and Blackfriars-bridge stations. The earliest down trains left Ludgate-hill at 910 a.m., under the management of the officials of the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway, and by the same route arrived at Kingston at 10 29. There are 15 trains each way daily, all of which are first, second, and third class. Only ten up and ten down trains, however, run from Ludgate-hill to Kingston and vice versa, the rest simply performing a service be tweeh the City and Clapham Junction. There will be no Sunday trains over the new line during this month. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways and canals, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from January 1 to March 25,1866, amounted to £117,296 as against £103,388 for the corresponding period of 1865. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from January 1 to March 25 amounted to £8,855, as against £7,805 for the corresponding period of 1865 i and the ex penses to £5,315, as against £4,407. ON BATTING. Quot komines, tot sententice. As many cricketers so many different styles of batting. And till a man has found out his own style, and has ascertained its limits and its capabilities, its weakness and its strength, and has so habituated himself to it that he may be relied on never to wander into tricks and freaks—into regions of unfamiliar effort—he will never be able to bat efficiently. Batting is in this respect the act antithesis to bowling. In bowling you never can imitate to o much ; in batting you never can imitate too little. Bowling is a mechani cal exercise, and the more mechanical you make it the better you will bowl. If you can drop all your individuality, so to speak, and make your arm work with the monotony and regularity of a machine, and keep the motion of the rest of your body in exact time and harmony with the motion of your arm, your success as a bowler will be assured. B a tti ng con sists in freely and easily using such power as you have at the exact moment when it is wanted. For this your own eye and your own judgment is the only guide ; your strength of arm and play of wrist the only limit; and no amount of study of the play of others will give you either the one or the other. A batsman, nascitur non fit ; abowler,fit non nascitur. It follows from this that you should never estimate a batsman according to the greater or less perfec tion of his style, as compared with some ideal stan dard that you may have set up in your own mind, but according to the efficiency of his style, as de liberately adopted by him, be it of what sort it may, for practical purposes. What does it matter if a man's style is ugly ? Pretty things are seldom the most substantial. And so in batting. Look at a man's performances, not at the attractions of his style. Take, for example, Mr. It. D. Walker. .No one can say that he is beautiful as a bats man ; but the best bowlers in England breathe more freely when he walks away from the wickets. Mr. E. M. Grace, also ; he offends against every rule, against every tradition, against every theory, except his own, which is, that every ball off the wickets ought to be hit, no matter what its pitch or what its pace. And he not only has this theory, but he puts it in practice also ; and he gets more runs, my dear young friend, in one year than you will get in your whole lifetime. And re member that these two gentlemen, so opposite in everything else, have one thing in common, which they both know how to do, and which they both do in the same way, that is, they can stop a straight hall. Now, many brilliant hitters cannot stop a straight ball, and hence their average never comes up to the expectation of their friends or of them selves. But after a man has mastered this diffi culty, and has acquired patience enough to enable him to stop dozens of straight balls in succession (and if you can stop one, why not twenty ?), then let him find out his own way of playing the loose bowling. And when he has found it out, be it awk ward or be it easy, be it slow or be it fast, it will pay in the end, and that is enough. But how ab surd, because Mr. Hodson stands with his hat over his shoulder, like Hercules with his club, for you or for me to do the same ; or because Mr. Drake drives a straight-shooter for six, for you or for me to attempt to do likewise ; or because Wells takes guard within an inch of her stumps, for you or for me to imitate him. These, like hundreds of other boatmen, have their peculiar ways and habits, and you must have your ways and habits also. First of all then, get a good practice bowler ; and secondly, choose your own bat, your own attitude, your own distance from the wicket for guard, and take no ad vice from anybody. If you have any zeal for thegame, the annoyance of finding your middle stump con tinually knocked down will soon make you pretty ready to stop a straight ball. And when you have learned bow to secure from the snare of the bowler, the still greater annoyance of being caught out, and having your newly-acquired science prematurely knocked on the head, will make you wary of falling into the gin of an alert field. It is a simple ques tion of whether you are annoyed or not. If a man finds his ammonia and gentian in the morning nasty, he will take care not to drink too much champagne and claret at night ; and if you find it nasty to be bowled out and caught out, you will take care not to repeat that dainty flourish which cost you your middle stump, or that rollicking swipe by which a watchful cover-point duly pro fited. Try to make something of every loose ball. Never mind if you cannot make as much as you want. Everyone cannot hit sixes. But two's are very useful. If there is a nice open place in the field, of course you will try and hit there, and then never mind whether you hit up in the air or across wicket. The hits may be bad, but they will be safe ; and a bad hit, like a petty larceny, is only a bad thing when you are caught at it. Defend me from a man with one hit ! He is like a man with one joke--always thinking of it, always hungering to bring it in, discontented in having to wait unrelieved of it, only moderately successful if it does come off, and a dismal failure if he attempts it at the wrong moment. Besides, after two or three times, everyone knows his hit by heart, and the field accordingly, so that he very soon ceases to profit by his special gift. Just so a man who has one particular finesse at whist. It goes down for a night or two, and then everybody knows it so well that the adversaries reap more advantage from the knowledge than the partner. Little solitary cases of excellence are of not much use in the midst of a desert of incompetence. A man who hits somehow all round is sure to be of profit to his side ; a man who hits brilliantly, but only in one direction, is nothing worth. Hurry is the bane of young batsmen. They ap pear to think that life is so short that they must cram enough hitting for a week into an innings of 10 minutes. Hence those wild move ments of the arms ; hence that uncouth plunging of the body; hence the furious blows at unoffending air, while the ball, uncut, undriven, undrawn, glides silently by. But, patience ! only keep a little of that energy for a few minutes ; be content to play a few balls quietly, without attempting to make runs of them, and the opportunity will come. You do not always have Grundy and Lillywhite bowling at you ; you will often play in matches where you will sigh for a straight ball, but no ball will come. A glance at the field (particularly noting where any weak men stand), a little calcula tion of pace and time, and a moderate use of wrist and muscle, and, behold! the numbers ore the tele graph will increase in decades with a cheerful and most exciting rapidity. And when your end comes, it will be the end of most tolerable players in an amateur country match—you will be caught by the .. worst field off the worst hit from the worst ball bowled by the worst bowler in the Two Elevens. Do not undervalue a stick. He may not be orna mental, but he is always useful ; for he is disagree able—very ; and a disagreeable person on a side is invaluable, for he spoils the temper of the adver saries, and if they lose their temper they lose their game. He also acts as a check on the impetuosity of his own side. They curse him, but they know his worth really. He is medicihe to them. He is a pill—without gilding. His attractions are not enticing, but he works. And remember this : he stops an immense number of good balls, which the dashing, slashing players of his side would let slip past them into their wickets. Ile makes the rough places plain, and paves the way for success. I have prosed, perhaps too much, but some kind reader might ask, Are there no living types of what a good batsman should be ? Are there none of whom you can say, These are men worth looking at—men worth coining miles to see? and I would not have him go unanswered. Certainly, I reply ; there are very many whom I would go miles to see, for I am catholic in my tastes. I like to see Mr. Fawcett hit the best balls of the best bowler, over the best bowler's astonished head, ball after ball, without an effort, without any visible exercise of strength, and appear as unconcerned and as fresh after he bas scored 100 as I do before I have scored 10. I like to see Mr. Lyttelton raise his arms, for one knows what is going to follow before it comes. I like to see Mr. Mitchell play every ball as it should be played, but make twice as much of every ball as anybody else could. I like to see Mr. Drake, and Mr. Drake's wonderful bat, and the wonderful way _ _ in which the ball flies off it. I like to see Mr. Grace play with a crocked bat, and Mr. Norman Liverpool Cotton Market. —This Day. The Market opens with more demand. Sales probably 6,000 bales or more. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.26 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £, Os. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold fE nearly 3-iGths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. mum of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1071 to 108 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of go'd from the United States. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 stcrlin2. Standard gold at the EngHAI Mint price is, therefore, at about the same price in London and Hamburg. ' 4 HESTER'S SACRIFICE,' by the author of St. Olavo's,' is a story which will be read with great plea sure. The writer has great power of sketching character. Some of the personages in the novel are perfect studies. Then, too, domestic life and routine of a cathedral town are depicted with a quiet ease which it is refreshing to meet with. The plot of the novel id a good one, and it is well worked out. Not the least charm of the story is that its interest is sustained throughout. From the first chap ter to the last there is no flagging. The novel is one to be heartily commended."—Star. THE Loss OF TILE LONDON.—A testimonial con sisting of a handsome chased silver tankard has been sub scribed for by the inhabitants of Gravesend, to be pre sented to Captain Cavasa of the Italian barque Marianople, ou board which ship the survivors of the ill-fated steam vessel London, were brought safely into port. The tankard bears the following inscription :—" Presented to Captain Cavasa by a few English friends, not as a reward, but as an attestation of their esteem and gratitude for his humane and kind conduct towards the survivors of the ship London." DISFRANCHISEMENT OF GOVERNMENT WORKMEN. —Public meetings of the dockyard and other voters of the borough of Chatham have been held at the " Napier Arm," New Brompton ; at the "Richard Cobden," Luton -road ; and tho "Gibraltar," Ordnance-place, Chatham, to protest against the IGth clause of the Reform Bill, which provides for the disfranchisement of Government workmen. It was resolved to convene an aggregate meeting at the Literary Institution, and it was stated that Mr. Otway, the member for the borough, had promised to attend. THE BRIGHTON REVIEW.-011 Monday evening, after the review, Colonel Richardson-Gardner, honorary colonel of the North-East London Rifles, was honoured by the company at dinner, at the grand hotel, of Lieutenant- General Sir Robert Garrett, K.C.B , who was in command of the entire Volunteer force on that day. There were also present at the dinner a distinguished party of Volun teer officers. THE MUTINY AND MARINE ACTS.—The two Acts of Parliament on the army and navy which received the royal assent on the day of the adjournment for the Easter recess have just been issued-29th Victoria, caps. 9 and 10. It is recited in the first-mentioned statute that the standing army is to consist of 138,117, including the depot of regi ments serving in India, but exclusive of the soldiers actually serving in India. Of the 13 public Acts passed in the pre sent Session, these Acts are at present the longest, and are annually issued for the guidance of the army and navy and to onforce proper diNciPlino in both aorvicea with a straight one ; all these, and many more I like to see—but admiration is not imitation—far from it ! Let Van Amburgh put his head into the lion's mouth, if he likes, but don't put yours, dear friend ; and when you get back to your own ground forget all the line players you have seen, and work out for yourself your own style, and play your own game, and may luck attend you !—Landand Water. IRELAND. DreLIN, March 3. A horrible murder was committed on Saturday evening at Carrick-on- Suir, the victim being a ma gistrate connected with some of the first families in Munster. We extract the particulars from an account furnished by a correspondent to the Daily Express. Mr. Lorenzo H. Jephson, of Carrick-house, a gen tleman eminently respected and extremely popular with all classes, was unanimously re-elected on Sa turday, for the 20th time, as chairman of the Board of Guardians, having been also chosen chairman of the Town Commissioners. The proceedings of the Board had not concluded till 6 o'clock p.m., when Mr. Jephson left the workhouse, and was walking homeward by a dead wall, when he was met by a pauper named Buckley, who suddenly at- ' stone him, striking hi m on th e r i g ht t emp l e w ith a n which weighed over 31b. Mr. Jephson fell from the violence of the blow, bleeding profusely from the mouth, ears, nose, and eyes, but not from the wounded part. The Hon. Col. V. Stuart came up immediately and found the murderer standing, as if in triumph, over his victim, and making no attempt to escape. Mr. Richardson, sub-agent to the Earl of Bessborough, next arrived on the spa, and Buckley attacked him with great violence. He was then quickly secured by the officers of the Union, who were attracted to the si4ol44he pollee also came and took him in custody.. In:the meantime Col. Stuart had been attending to Mr. Jephson, and had him conveyed in his carriage to his own house. He rallied a little at first, but about 8 o'clock he was seized with convulsions, and died in less than half an hour afterwards. By his death the noble houses of Dunally and Waterford, with several of the first families in the counties of Tipperary and Waterford, will be placed in mourning. The 12 persons found working at the new build ing in Upper .Rathmines where the police dis covered two buried boxes of rifles and bayonets were brought up yesterday, at the head office, before Mr. Allen and Mr. Wyse. The police having no evidence to produce to show that they had any knowledge of the arms in question, which were found in a place that had been a long time open night and day, Mr. Allen said that, as far as he could see, these men were only attending to their ordinary avocations, and he was disposed to allow them all to go out on their own bail. They were accordingly discharged, having given their own re cognizances. At the same office Robert Cooke, a private of the Military Train, stationed at Portobello, charged a man named Brien with having endeavoured to se duce him from his allegiance. About 9 o'clock on the previous night the witness was walking along Fran cis -street, with his pocket handkerchief in his hand, when the prisoner snatched it from him and ran into Burke's rpublichouse. Witness followed him, and was invited to drink, when the prisoner said " Take off your coat and become a Fenian. To hell with the Queen, and up with the green flag !" Witness then went for a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. He was remanded for a week. At the Curragh Camp on Saturday the district court-martial resumed its sitting in the case of Lance-Corporal Cochrane. The charge against the prisoner was for conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having, on the Newbridge-road, on or about the 14th day of March, sang the following traitorous and seditio us wor d s : —" Hurrah for Old Ireland," " Ireland will be free," "Up with the flag," or to that effect. Evi dence was given in support of the charge, and also some for the defence, after which the Court was ad j ourned. A terribly destructive fire occurred at Belfast on Sunday night, causing a loss of property estimated at from £120,000 to £150,000, in the provision stores of Messrs. Thomas Sinclair and Sons, said to be by far the largest in Ireland. The lVhig states that no such terrific fire has happened in Belfast since the burning of a store stocked with similar goods, the property of Mr. Duffield, some 20 years ago ; and the only fire that at all approached it in extent was the burning . of the Albert-buildings, at the corner of Victoria-street, about five years ago, when the whole of that splendid block of buildings was consumed. The fire commenced in the second floor, which was filled with provender for horses, which were in stables on the ground floor below, and were with difficulty removed without injury. The flames in a short time broke through two lofts, extending to the cooperage department, which was also speedily one mass of flames. The flames roared upwards, lighting the whole country around with the brilliancy of noonday, while by their intensity they almost took the sight from on-lookers. While the flames were at their highest the lower part of High -street presented a very singular appearance. As seen from Castle-place, the Custom-house and quay, with the spars and rigging of the vessels, were thrown out in the most brilliant relief against the dark sky behind. The Custom-house steps and the open space of Queen-square were paved with human faces, lighted up with the glare of the flames. The whole sky was filled with rolling showers of fireflakes, which fell as thickly on the streets as a snow storm. The distance to which these sparks and pieces of red-hot wood were carried by the wind was remarkable. At one time Arthur-square was almost covered with dropping fire and bits of in- candescent charcoal an inch - and upwards in length, and sparks were seen falling even so far away as Donegal-pass. Had it not been for the heavy rain that fell and wetted all the roofs there would, no doubt, have been the greatest possible risk of the fire being thus carried into other districts of the town. The fire brigade, foiled in their exertions to an ex tent we have never seen before, turned their atten tion to the saving of the adjoining property—on one side the large provision stores of Sir E. Coey, and ' on the other side flax stores and the bonded stores, stack C, belonging to Mr. Grogan ; and in the rear the large shipping offices on Donegal-quay, belong ing to Messrs. Henderson, Messrs. M'Tear, and others. The streets were now ankle deep, in some parts, with water, and in other parts with gravy, the latter being itself a fai r i n d ex t o t h e i mmense quantity of bacon and hams which had been con sumed. The property was fully insured. MARKETS,---This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat wore moderate, but of poor quality. The best samples moved off steadily, at full prices ; otherwise the English wheat trade ruled quiet, on former terms. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. Thb trade for all descriptions ruled inactive, but without lead ing to any quotable change in prices from Monday. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. With English barley the market was scantily supplied ; but there was a moderate supply of foreign qualities on offer. The trade ruled firm, at full prices. Malt sold slowly, but at full prices. Oats wore in fair supply, and the trade ruled firm, at full quotations. Beans and peas moved off steadily, at quite late rates. The flour trade was quiet, at previous quotations.

The Florence journals of to-day contradict the statement that any military preparations are being made on the part of Italy, and declare that there is no question of concentrating troops at Bologna or any other point. The military movements have simply been occasioned by the ordinary requirements of the service. A Volunteer Charged with Attempting to Shoot the Prince of Wa eE. BRIGHTON, Tuesday Evening. A member of the London Irish, who still throng the town, was detected with ball cartridge in his pocket at the Review on Monday, under circum stances of strong suspicion that he contemplated the assassination of the Prince of Wales. The rumour was, that the accused, whose name is Patrick Butler, had on Sunday night, whilst in a state of intoxication, declared at a public house where he met his comrades, that, if oppor tunity offered on the morrow, he would shoot the Prince of Wales. No notice was taken of the matter, but some of the other members talking on the subject, it came to the ears of the officers, and was reported to the Marquis of Donegal, who directed that no steps should be taken till the arrival at the race hill. The captain of his company, then addressing Butler, told him what he had heard, and asked if he had any ball cartridge about him, to which he replied in the negative, but on being searched, ten rounds were found in his pocket. He was at once given into custody. This morning the prisoner was brought up for examination at Brighton, but the investigation was adjourned till to-morrow.
