IVIONEY MARKET AND COM.TiIERCIAL INTELLIGENCR, TWELVE O'CLOCK. r Owing to a large number of bills in connection with the trade of India and China falling due to day the inquiry for discount accommodation has been very active. Brokers have shown a disinclina tion to take even short dated securities under 5i and 6 per cent., and the consequence has been a good demand at the Bank. An advance has taken place in the value of bar silver, and a large amount has been disposed of at ss. Id. per oz. standard. Several alterations of a rather discouraging charac ter are shown in the Bank of England return, but they must generally be attributed to operations usual at the present period. Subjoined are the particulars : Active Circulation. £2O '755 190 Increase 33,475 Bullion ... ... 14,469,617 Decrease 159,33 1 ••• ••• ••• ••• • Rest 8 , 192,552 Increase 6,635 Public Deposits ... ... 6,619,643 Increase Other Deposits ...

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. - - COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) WARD V. THE GAS LIGHT AND COAL COMPANY.-THE FIRE AT SAVILLE ROUSE. This was an action brought by Mr. Ward, the occupier of the lower portion of the building lately known as Sa ville House, which was destroyed by fire, to recover for special damage, on the ground of the carelessness and negligence of the defendants. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., who appeared for Mr. Ward, said his client wus the well-known easy chair manufacturer, and formally carried on this business in a building in Leicester-square, which was destroyed by fire on the 28th of February, and the whole of the contents destroyed. The action was brought to recover the amount of damage he had sustained. The plaintiff was partly insured in the Commercial Union, and the money sought to '..)e re covered was the amount uncovered by the insurance. Also the insurance company were parties to the suit to the extent of the amount they had paid the plaintiff. The jury would not be troubled with assessing the amount of damage in the case, because it had been agreed by - all parties that, if the defendants were found to be liable, then the' amount to be paid by the company was to be settled by arbitration. It was alleged that the escape of gas was caused by the servants of the gas company, the question of liability was the only one they would have to try. The defendants supplied the gas consumed on the whole of the building, although the music-hall saloon and other rooms in Saville House wore occupied by a gentleman named Bloom. There was a metre in the passage of Saville House, which sup plied a portion of Saville House in the occupation of Bloom, and it was the matters that occurred at that particular spot that caused the destruction of the building, The servants of the defendant came on the early part of the day, of. the 28th day of February, to remedy some defect in the supply of the gas. After examination the man decided to put up a new metre, and the old one was at once removed. Having proceeded to the length of removing the metre the men, instead of proceeding with their work, went on indulging themselves in the kitchen, eating pancakes in Ithe kitchen—(laughter)—it being Shrove Tuesday. The pipes were disconnected, the metre was taken down, and the men said they would not be able to bring a new one for a week or a fortnight. They ought, therefore, at once to have formed a connection between the inlet and outlet pipe, but such had not been done ; and whether they intended to do so he did not know. But he thought it would be beyond dispute that they took down the metre, and at the time of the explosion such connection had been made. The men had turned the gas off at the inlet pipe previous to commencing their operations, and having done so they proceeded to discuss their pancakes. The gasl was, of course, wanted to light up the house, and when the tap of the inlet pipes was turned the gas would not light. One of the servants went to ascertain the cause that prevented the gas lighting, and when near the place where the metre was situated with a light an explosion took place, and the whole of the building and contents were entirely destroyed. The cause of the explosion he attributed to the servants of the gas company leaving the pipes in an inse cure state. It was said, on the other side, that the pipes were not left in a dangerous condition; that after the metre was removed a bung was placed in the inlet pipe ; but he thought it more than likely that the gasmen having taken down the metre were only too anxious for their pancakes —(laughter)—that having shut the gas off from the main, by turning the tap attached to the inlet pipe, and leaving the key in the usual position, they left the work without properly securing it by placing a screw cap over the aper ture. That was the ordinary way of securing an open pipe, and not to trust to pushing a bung into the pipe, supposing such a thing to have been done. He should call witnesses to prove ►by their evidence the facts he had stated to the jury, and having done that he felt that they would have no difficultfin arriving at a verdict. William Larven said he was in the employ of Mr. Bloom in February last. He occupied part of the premises known as Saville House, Leicester-square. He occupied the music hall and saloon ; he had let the billiard room. He knew there was a complaint about the gas, and the .company's inspec tor and his men attended to remedy the defect. The in spector asked for a hammer to open the metre box ; it was given him, and he believed the metre was removed. After taking the metro down he saw the men eating pancakes in the kitchen, they remained about half au hour and then went away. They never told him he could not use the gas to light the hall, saloon, and pas sage. He went out for about half an hour, and when he returned the house was on fire. He did not know that ' there had been any escape of gas the day previous. From the great number of leading counsel engaged, and the number of witnesses to be examined in the case, it is not expected to conclude to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MASQUERADE IN THE HAYMARKZT.—Margaret An derson, a young woman, wearing the costume of debardeur, was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly conduct in the Haymarket. Police-constable 51 C said that about a quarter past six o'clock that morning he saw the defendant running up and down the Haymarket screaming at the top of her voice• lie advised her to go away, as she was likely to cause a crowd to assemble, in consequence of the dress she was wearinm when she exclainica to leave, but after a time did so. About an hour after wards he found her at the door of Walker's tavern, near the Haymarket, with a crowd of about 50 persons, most of them men going to their work, around her, and as she re fused to go away he took her to the station. Mr. Snot inquired whether anything had been going on the previous night, and the constable said there had been a bal masque at the Alhambra Palace, and the defen dent had been there. The defendant, who hung down her head, said she had only been a short time in London. She came from Liverpool. Mr. Knox said he wished she would return there. She did not appear to have done any harm, and would there fore discharge her. The defendant left in a cab brought to the rear of the court so as to prevent a crowd collecting. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.-- Minnie Dunn, a young woman, was charged with assaulting Elizabeth Susan Cossins, re siding at No. 9, Spring-gardens. The complainant was passing along Regent-street, when the defendant went up to her, and asked her if her name was Minnie, and, on her saying it was not, gave her a blow on the mouth, no provocation whatever being given by the complainant. Alfred Warwick Shill, a labouring man, passing at the time, proved seeing the defendant assault the complainant and seeing her mouth bleeding. The defendant said the complaint pushed against her, but this was denied by the complainant and her witness. Mr. Knox remarked that he did not see why inoffensive persons should be outraged in the streets, and fined the defendant 205., or 14 days. take him into custody. The prisoner struck the con stable and threw him, and when ' he was down kicked at his temple. The rim of the policeman's helmet saved his head. A tremendous struggle took place, and Free man was nearly overpowered, and called for help. A young man named Liggins, of 45, Wellington place, went to the aid of the constable, and he was assaulted and kicked by the prisoner; other help was at hand, the fellow was secured, and his ravings were loud and incessant for some time. Inspector Griffin said the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment for assaulting a constable in the early part of the year. Mr.Paget said the prisoner had committed a most violent and dastardly assault on the constable, 'who was doing his duty in a forbearing and proper manner, and he had also beaten and kicked a respectable young man. If ho did not protect constables in the execution of their duty no decent man would enter the force. It was equally his duty to protect orderly and respectable people who assisted the police. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month and kept to hard labour for the assault on Free man, the constable, and another month with hard labour For the assault on Pigging. Mrs. Castle, the prisoner's sister, implored of the magis trate to inflict a fine only, and said her brother was not right in his mind. A beershop-keeper, who bailed the prisoner, believed him to be of unsound mind. Roche, the gaoler of the court, was of a similar opinion. Many years ago an ox-sergeant of police, named Murray, obtained 3s. 6d. per week of him under pretence of giving him a good education. The case was investigated in that court, and by some technicality, the alleged offender escaped. Inspector Griffin and others said the prisoner was a per fectly sane man when he was sober. Mr. Pagot, after investigating the matter at considerable length, came to the conclusion that the prisoner was' an swerable for his actions, and refused to alter his sentence or to inflict a penalty. MARKETS—This Day. ___.~--- Fresh up to our market-day the arrivals of home-grown wheat were but moderate, whilst the condition of the pro duce was but . middling. Dry samples ruled firm at full currencies, but as regards damp produce the trade was dull at Monday's quotations. There was a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the stands. In most descriptions a fair averago business was transacted at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full currencies. The market was well supplied with barley. Uunerally speaking the trade ruled quiet, at Monday's prices. Only a moderate business was transacted in malt, at late prices. There was a large supply of oats on offer. The trade was dull for all qualities, and prices declined 6d per quarter. Beans and peas ruled firm, and changed hands at ex treme rates. About an average business was transacted in flower, at late prices. . SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

THE FENIAN TRIALS, DUBLIN, Wednesday: At the sitting of the court this morning Judge Fitzgerald delivered his charge to the jury in the case of the prisoner O'Leary, in whose behalf Mr. Dowse had addressed the court on the preceding day. In the course of the charge the learned Judge said :—" It has occurred to me, and possibly it has occurred to you, in the course of this investigation, to ask yourselves the question, What did these par ties want who were enaged in this Fenian movement? What did they want, if' the object at the bottom was not the redistribution of property in this coun- 1 try ? I hope you will agree with me in this, -that we can boast of possessing an amount of freedom, and a constitution unrivalled in Europe, or in the wide world." The overt acts charged against the prisoner were 30 in number, consisting mainly of articles in the Irish People, and acts done in con nection with the confederacy, and proof of any one of them, as performed in advancement of the crimi nal conspiracy, would be enough. The judge did not think the Fenian society was merely playing with treason—a sham or pretence ; there was not a shadow of ground for alleging that the prisoner was base enough to be a party to anything of the kind. "It may have been that in this country, or in America, there were engaged in the movement schemers and swindlers, whose principal object was the raising of funds with the intent to appropriate them to their own purposes. But that at least the prisoner would be acquitted of." The law of con spiracy was to be jealously regarded, but it was on the other hand essential for the protection of society that such a law should exist, as otherwise a person might set on foot an organisation of an illegal kind, keeping in the background and leaving his agents and dupes to bear the responsibility. Judge Fitz gerald also referred to the remittances from America for Fenian purposes. The Solicitor-General had estimated them at £7,800 ; in one year certainly £5,000 had been sent to O'Leary's orders. The funds came through the hands of John O'Mahoney, and it could not now be doubted that the money was remitted for the treasonable _purpose of further ing the conspiracy to overthrow the Queen's autho rity. If the prisoner knew from whence it came he was guilty, and if he had distributed it knowing the intent, then he was not only a leader, but in a cer tain sense the leader of the conspiracy. The jury were an hour and a half absent, and when they returned into court with the verdict of " Guilty on all the counts of the indictment," the prisoner addressed the court coolly, and with deliberation. He said—" My lords, I was not unprepared for this. I felt that a Government which had so safely packed the bench would not be un likely to obtain a verdict." (Judge Fitzgerald here intimated to the prisoner that, 'bile the court were willing to hear anything he had to say, language of that kind could not be permitted.) O'Leary re sumed—" Very well, my lord. Mr. Luby declined to touch upon this from a very natural fear that he might do harm to some of the other political priso ners, but there can be little fear of that now, for a jury that could be found to convict me of this con spiracy will convict them all. Mr. Luby admitted he was technically guilty according to that highly elastic instrument, British law, but I did not think that those men" (here the prisoner pointed to the benches where the Crown counsel sat) " could make that case against me. And this brings me naturally to a subject on which there has been much misrepre sentation in Ireland—the subject, I mean, of in formers. Mr. Justice Keogh said, in his charge against Mr. Luby, that men would always be found ready for money to place themselves at the dis posal of the Government, and make known the designs of the conspiracy. No doubt men will be found for money so to place themselves at the disposal of the Government ; but I think it is agitators, and not rebels, who have been generally bought in this way, who have cer tainly made the best bargains. And now I come to speak," added the prisoner, " of the I moral assassination of me, for which that miser able man" (pointing to Mr. Barry, Q.C., law ad viser to the Irish Government) "is mainly respon sible." Here the judge again interrupted O'Leary, and the prisoner said he would not pursue that tone of observation. He, however, continued—" He did not mean to defend himself or others now, but he would denounce the moral assassin. Mr. Justice Keogh had administered a lecture tt-) Mr Taaby about the consequences of revolution, but he should like to know whether the same consequences did not follow war. Only one word more would he say. He had been found guilty of treason— treason-felony they called it—and no doubt it was a foul crime. The poet Dante placed traitors in the ninth or lowest circle of his In ferno.' But what traitors? Traitors against king, country,' friends, rind benefactors. England was not his (the prisoner's) country, and he had betrayed no friends or benefactors. Hampden and Sidney were traitors, and Jeffreys and Norbury were loyal men. He would leave the case there." Except in the closing passage, the speaker was calm and un impassioned. Judge Fitzgerald immediately, in a short sentence, awarded him the punishment of 20 years' penal servitude— the same term as given to Luby. While the jury were out of court considering their verdict in O'Leary's case, O'Donovan (Rossa) was put forward and addressed the court himself, stating that he had got papers from America which would contradict the testimony the detectives in ' tended to offer against him, and show that he had been in that country carrying on a legitimate busi ness ; but that when he had been removed with the other prisoners from Richmond Bridewell to Kil mainham, those papers had been taken from him by the governor of the latter prison, and probably had been since in Dublin -Castle. The governor of the prison was sent for, and stated that he had only acted according to the rules of the gaol. He was ordered to give the prisoners the papers, and the trial was postponed until that of Moore, the man charged with making the " rods," or pikes, to Stephens's order, had been finished. Moore was then arraigned, and his trial proceeded with. DUBLIN, Thursday. The Fenian pike-maker, Moore, was found guilty to-day, and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The evidence exclusively established a contract between him and Stephens for the making and distributing of pikes. It was also proved that he had been sent back from America by O'Mahony in order to make these weapons. He alleged he had only been pursuing his trade as a common working man, and denied he was guilty of conspiracy. He asked that some trifling articles seized by the Crown should be given to his wife, and this was agreed to. O'Donovan (Rossa) will be tried to-morrow. The following hired sailing troopships are on their way to England, bound to Spithead, with time expired and invalided officers and men from India and China. From Madras, the ship Theresa sailed on Aug. 31, with men, women, and children from various regiments serving in the Presidency, under the command of Lieut. J. E. Rogers, 102 d Regiment • from Bombay, Oct. 13, the ship Talbot sailed, with upwards of 200 men, women, and children, in charge of Brevet-Major Hastings and Assist.-Sur. Wins low, 103 d Regiment. The other military officers on board comprise Ensign Decette, 56th Regiment ; Gildea, 72d Regiment ; and Barstow, 95th Regi ment. From Hongkong, on Oct. 14, the ship Gresham sailed, with a large number of time-expired and invalided men from both services, including among the officers Capts. Burland and Gipps, 2d battalion 9th Regiment ; Surg. Black and Lieut. Vaughan, 2d battalion 11th Regiment. EXTRAORDINARY PIKE FISHING.---Callater Loch, which lies amid the wilds of the glen of that name, abounds with the pike of large size, and the gamekeeper stationed at the shooting-lodge there has recently made several good takes by means of lines attached to floating buoys. One morning he met with a vigorous resistance in pulling in one of the lines, which h a d b een b a i te d ov e r n i g h t, an d it was with great difficulty that he succeeded in raising the cfiptured fish to the boat. The reason for the extra effort that had been needed was found in the almost inci edible fact that a trio of pikes were fast to a single hook. Two of these had caught at the bait, and so been caught them selves, while the third- -a voracious animal, weighing about 201 b. avoirdupois—had swallowed both the smaller fish and had allowed himself to be drawn into the boat rather than disgorge the morsel.--PuncieelAcivera3er. Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Yesterday a deputation of this institution was held at its house, St. John-street, Adelphi—Thos. Chapman, F.R.S., and president, in the chair. There were also present—Captain Sir Edward Per rott, Bart., W. H. Harton; Esq., Admiral M'Hardy, Admiral W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S., Capt. Egerton, R.N., Colonel Fitz-Roy, Clayton, Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, rewards amounting to £224 were granted for different noble services by the following lifeboats of the institution during the recent storms :—The Portrush lifeboat rescued the crew of four men from the schooner Clara Brown, of Barrow ; the Wex ford lifeboat saved 19 men from the ship Savoir- Faire, • of Liverpool ; the Cahore lifeboat rescued four' men from the same. vessel; the Palling-life boat saved 20 men and a pilot from the ship Orso, of North Shields ; the Whitburn lifeboat rescued six men from the schooner Token, of Jersey, and a few days after again went off and saved six men from the schooner Test, of Southampton ; the Tenby lifeboat saved a lad from the smack Mary, of Cardigan ; the Theddlethorpe lifeboat savedninc men from the fishing smack Splendid, of Grimsby ; the Howth lifeboat saved five men from a lighter; the Plymouth lifeboat saved 11 men from the brig Espoir, and 11 men from the brig Commerzle weathin Hanpt, of Mecklenburgh ; the Penzance lifeboat rescued . five men from the brigantine Tobaco, of Hamburg; and the Fowey lifeboat went off twice in one day, and saved 13 men from the barque Drydens, of North Shields, and nine men from the brig Wearmouth, of Sunderland. The silver medal of the institution was voted to Mr. J. Heath, chief boatman of the Coastguard, and coxswain of the Fowey lifeboat, in admiration of his skill and daring in assisting to save, under very perilous circumstances, the shipwrecked crews of the vessels before named. Rewards amounting to £l7B were also voted to pay the expenses of the lifeboats of the institution stationed at Howth, Pakefield, Berwick, Rosslare, Barmouth, Portcawl, Swansea, Cemlyn, Penzance, Porthdiullaen, Pehrith, Newquay (Cum -wall), chd, ter, Broughty Ferry, Skerries, and New Brighton, for either going out and rendering assistance to vessels in distress, or for putting off in reply to signals of distress to render services to different vesssls which, however, had afterwards got out of danger. It appears that during the gales of November the lifeboats saved 124 shipwrecked persons in addition to bringing two vessels safely into port. Altogether 421 lives have been saved by the lifeboats of the in stitution during the eleven months of the present year, in addition to bringing fourteen vessels safely into harbour. It was reported thatjts lifeboats had been manned during the past three years by about 18,000 per sons, and that out of that large number only three men had been lost. General Sir George Bowles, the donor of the Howth lifeboat, was so pleased with the services of that boat on a recent occasion in saving five poor fellows from a watery grave, that he has decided on giving the institution the cost of another lifeboat. The silver medal of the institution and £1 were voted to Gunner James Moore, and £1 each, and the thanks of the institution inscribed on vellum, to two other men of the Coast Brigade of Royal Ar tillery, stationed at Aberdovey, for rescuing, at some risk of life, 17 men of the crew of the French ship Carioca, which had struck on the rocks under the Hermitage Rock Battery during a gale of wind on the 19th October last. The silver medal of the institution and £2 were also voted to Peter Pascoe for rescuing, at the risk of his life, a man who had previously attempted to assist in saving the life of a sailor belonging to the barque William of Sunderland, which was wrecked off Porthleven, on the 24th ult. A reward of £1 was also granted to the man Pascoe had saved. Various other rewards were granted for saving life from wrecks on our coasts. Payments amounting to upwards of £3,000 were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establish ments. The sale of £2,000 stock of the institution was ordered to be made to meet these heavy pay ments. Reports were read from the inspector and the as sistant inspector of lifeboats to the institution on their repent visit to the various lifeboat stations on the coasts of England and Scotland. It was re ported that G. Jeremy, Esq., and Mrs. Jeremy had presented £4OO to the institution to defray the cost of a lifeboat and carriage to be stationed either on the coast of Devon or Cornwall. A communication was read from Captain A. R. Weston, of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Na vigation Company's steamer Simla, forwarding £5O Bs. 7d., and stating that he was using his best endeavours to collect the cost of a Simla lifeboat amongst the passengers sailing on board his vessel between Calcutta and Aden, to be presented to the institution. The contributors to the Quiver magazine, pub lished by Messrs. Cassell *and Co., had generously contributed the cost of a lifeboat to be called the " Quiver." Legacies of £lOO by the late Capt. Brown, of Kilmarnock, and £lOO by the late James M'Nab, Esq., of Guildford, had been received by the insti tution. The late Mr. T. Boys and Mr. Dudley Costello had also recently left the institution legacies. During the past month the institution had sent new lifeboats to Anstruther, Tynemouth, Bacton, and Cemlyn. The cost of the lifeboat for Tyne mouth had been contributed by the people at Ponte fract and Goole, where she was publicly exhibited on the 6th inst. on her way to the station, Lady Houghton, supported by Lord Houghton, Lord and Lady Cathcart, and the gentry of the neighbour hood, kindly naming the boat on the occasion. Other business having been transacted, the pro ceedings of the meeting terminated. FOUNDERING OF A STEAMBOAT. AT SEA.—On Wed nesday morning the steamboat Leander, belonging to North Shields, put out to sea for the purpose of seeking vessels making for the Tyne, to tow them in. After the boat had got out a considerable distance off the bar they descried a vessel to all appearance making for the harbour. The Leander immediately proceeded in the direction of the vessel to inquire if they would allow them to take the vessel in tow. The steamboat went alongside, and, while matters were being arranged between the captains of the Leander and the vessel, a terrific sea struck the steamboat on her side, and sent her with great force against the right beam of the vessel, smashing her paddlecase to pieces, driv ing the iron beam completely through her, and nearly opening her in two. She began to sink almost immedi ately, and the crew just had time to jump into the boat before she went down. Tho vessel by this time was reach ing before the wind, and was at some distance from them quite unable to render ass istance. The men in the boat were tossed about on the waves, expecting every moment to be swallowed up by the angry sea. They pulled as best they could, but all their efforts seemed to be fruitless, as the force of the sea drove them hither and thither. Another steamboat, however, the Renard, belonging to Shields, had seen the occurrence, and knowing the imminent peril the mon were exposed to, bore down upon them and succeeded in laying hold of the boat before any accident occurred. The crew were taken aboard and brought to the harbour in safety. 6 0 7 0 0 .4. 0 D V y: u R n T g I S c E h li t l E d N r T n . — an T d h d it e t l i t c h a e t e fearful n a s n o n f u a a l m l a g o e r t s a m l i a t yy be of arrested, if, instead of flying blindly to pills and medicines, which, though apparently relieving the patient, have in reality no oiler tendency than that of increasing debility, and with it the danger of life, we were simply to study how to increase the vital force by imparting new and pure blood, upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame depends, has been successfully proved by.

WANDSWORTH: THE CLERGYMAN AND HIS DOG.—STRANGE DOINGS IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The Rev. Braithwaite Hermitage appeared before Mr. Day man to answer a summons, at the instance of Inspector Carpenter, on behalf of the Brighton Railway Company, charging him with unlawfully interfer ing with the comfort of certain passengers. Mr. George Best, auctioneer, said he resided at Anerly, but his offices were in Coleman-street, City. On the morn ing of the 13th ult. he entered a second-class carriage at the Victoria Station, as was his custom, to return home, and after he had been seated a short time the defendant who wore a black hat, and carried a short stick in his hand, drove a large dog into the same compartment, and then followed himself. He was apparently the worse for liquor. Several persons in the carriage objected to the presence of the dog, as there was a proper place in the train for it, but the defendant refused to remove the ani mal, said it was was all right, and that they all knew him on the line. The attention of the officials was called to the dog, but finding they could do nothing with the defendant the train went on. The defendant then spoke about the character of the dog as to what it would do if any person interfered with it, flourished his stick, and struck the roof of the carriage with it. The train had not pro ceeded far when the defendant took out some coppers and tossed for money with a boy, who won twopence of him. He made use of very improper language. He represented himself as a reverend gentle man, and in reply one of the passengers said he did not act like one, and that his conduct was more like that of a lunatic. Several passengers alighted at Clapham-junction, and the defendant soon crossed over to where witness was sitting, and wanted to pull the window down. Witness said, " Don't touch it." Ho replied, Who the - aro you ?" He then flourished his stick again, and struck the roof of the carriage. The defendant alighted at Balham station, where it was discovered that he had a third class ticket, and had not paid for the day's riding. The defendant expressed his regret at the occurrence, but the magistrate fined him 55., and 12s. costs, which was instantly paid. THAMES. AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.—WiIIiam Bunn, a newsvendor, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Police-constable Freeman, 436 K. The prisoner is related to some very respectable people, who carry on business as newsagents in Pattison-street, Stepney. He is certainly the most foul-mouthed ruffian ever known in the district. He has been repeatedly in custody for being drunk and for assaults, and owing to the intercession of his sisters, who have shared in his abuse and threats, he has been frequently released. He was re presented by his relatives to be of unsound mind, but it was stated by Inspector Griffin, K division, and others, that he was perfectly sane when he was sober, and that when excited by drink he acted like a madman. Ho was drunk last night, and conduoted himself in a very disor 'derly manner in Wellington-place, Stepney. Freeman begged of him to leave the street and go home. He refused to do so, and made use of the most diabolical threats. The policeman expostulated with him in vain, and at last put his Lauds open him, and said he ,should COUNTRY MARKETS BRIS T OL-THURSDAY.

SWINDLING A LAWYER.—It is a penny-wise and Found-foolish plan to grudg4 the fee to a solicitor for making your will. So convinced of this was one crafty and covetous fellow, who waited to have his will a oft rately drawn without paying for it, that he sent for an eminent lawyer, and having given tha necessary in structions desired him to putin a clause giving £lOO to himself. Tho will being Bashed a fee was offered but refused, the lawyer was no sower gone than the will was copied, and the £lOO legacy left out.—Chamberis Journal. pi . l a. Death of a Noted Wrestler. A few days ago there died in one of the work houses in Manchester a daring character, named Isaac Robinson, said to be a native of Shap. At one time he acted as guide to the summits of Helvellyn, Skiddaw, and other mountains, often to crags, fast nesses, and gulleys which had never before been pene trated by man. On more than one occasion he was hired to proceed at midnight in search of excursionists who had been lost in the mist, and he rarely re turned without bringing safely home those who were about to perish through cold and hunger. A few years later he was noted all over Cumberland and Westmorland as one of the first wrestlers of the day. During a portion of this time, too, he acted as under gamekeeper, and, along with others, was en gaged in a terrible affray with poachers on the pre serves of the Earl of Lonsdale, near Lowther Castle. In this encounter he seized two poachers and held them, and the same moment two guns were fired at him by others of the gang. The poachers were sub sequentlyand (in s g e n f f t e out Wigton f who t of e at e o ng t a n e g r t y o 0 . k tried a t th e ass i zes at App l e b y, conv i cted, I t l o e r w id as the on n e e j o g f hb t o h i r :t e r e 2 of gipsies who had held possession of some moorland there for more than 20 years, and which they accomplished in the face of terrible dangers. But th e ac t f or which his name will ever remain a household word in many parts of the north was that of rescuing a y oung l ady from drowning. One Christmas a party of l a di es and gentlemen were on a visit to -- Castle, and, as there had been two or three days' frost, they resolved to skate on a lake in the park. Near to some trees on the margin of the lake the only daughter of the proprietor fell, breaking the ice with her fall, and she sank. The catastrophe paralysed every one pre sent, but the screams and shouts for assistance brought several labourers to the spot. No one, however, ventured to enter the water or tried to . save the i h rl e ' a s r l d ife. juncturereaehereached tßhoebsipnosto2n just, s y ha o cl un ato g the young lady reached the surface, dashed into the the screams, tthis water, seized the girl by the hair, and dragged : her to the side ; and, taking off his keeper's coat, he wrapped her in it and bore her to the hall. .Before he entered the carriage drive the news of the disaster had reached the family, who were all coming . down to the lake in the utmost consternation. Seeing his master, the late Mr. Cawthorne, then M.P. for Lan caster, whose messenger he was, he imagined it was some relative of his, and told him how the rescue had been effected. For this timely act of bravery aqrarArrlecLbs the young lady's father with a. pension for life. The young lady herself, in a year or two after, was married to a merchant named Thompson, who made him many presents. All, however, was insufficient. In the latter part of his life Robinson took to drinking, and frequently forestalled his pension by many months, and at last died a pauper at the age of 90. He had a sister, who died two years ago, near Penrith, in her 92d year, and it is well known that the physical strength of the family never had its equal in the neighbour hood of their birth.—Cumberland Pacquet.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—Last evening a fearful accident, which it is feared will terminate fatally, happened at the St. Mary's Cray's station on this railway. A man named William Moon, aged 32, a porter, was crossing the line, when he was knocked down by a passing train, the wheels of which went over his legs, cutting off the left one. He was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he remains without hope of recovery. ROTTEN V. WARD.—" ARTEMUS WARD."—This case, which involved a novel point of copyright law, came before Vice-Chancellor Wood yesterday on a motion for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the defendants, E. Ward. G. Lock, and C. T.Tyler, of Fleet-street, from publishing or selling a work intituled " Artemus Ward,his Book and Tra vels, with an introduction by George Augustus Sala, re printed from the original." The motion was made on behalf of Mr. J. C. Rotten, publisher, Piccadilly, and Mr. E. P. Hingston, of Chelsea, under the circumstances alleged in the bill, viz. :—ln October, 1863, Mr. Hingston, a British subject, in conjunction with Mr. C.F. Brown, an American, who had assumed the name of Artemus Ward, made toge ther an excursion through California and Oregon, and thence across the plains to the district known as the Salt Lake, inhabited by the Mormons. During their excursion Mr. Hingston and Mr. Brown made notes descriptive of the places they visited, of such incidents and scenes as they respectively deemed worthy of record, and of the manners and peculiarities of the people with whom they came into contact. After the excursion, Mr. Hingston and Mr. Brown allowed each other free access to their notes, and from them was prepared, by their joint labours, a work t f h o r e r p o u o f bl s i h ca o t o i e l d, n, s t o o f t a h r e o intent t r h e a l t a t s e u d ch to w t o h r e k u an a d the ited profits States, belong to Mr. Brown and his publisher, and so far as re lated only to the British dominions belong to Mr. Hing ston and his publisher. Subsequently it was arranged be tween Mr. Brown and Mr. Rotten that tho publication of the book in the United States and the British dominions respectively should be simultaneous. On the 16th of Sep tember last Mr. Rotten, for the benefit of himself and Mr. Hingston, published the work in England, and it has been duly registered at Stationers' Hall in their joint names. A. few days or more subsequent to such publication Mr. Brown, through a publisher in New York, published an American edition of the work. The plaintiffs recently discovered that the defendants, E. Ward, G. Lock, and C. T. Tyler, were publishing and selling for the joint benefit of themselves and the defendant J. Maxwell a copy of the plaintiffs' work, or substantially the same, save that the defendants had substituted a new intro duction in place of that in plaintiff's work, and had slightly varied the arrangement of the matter. These were the statements of the plaintiffs. The their defe wo r k on the other hand, alleged that inasmuc h a s was copied from the American edition the plaintiffs had publication. no right to interfere with the defendants' Mr. G. M. Giffard and Mr. L ovell appeared in support of the motion. The Vice-Chancellor, immediately on the conclusion of Mr. Giffard's address in support of the mo tion, observed that the motion raised rather a nice poi n t , which he thought ought to be decided at the hearing of the cause, and not upon the present occasion. The ques tion of copyright would to a great extent depend upon facts upon which it was desirable to have more informa tion than was now forthcoming. Of course, if the mo tion were to stand over till the hearing, the defendants would undertake in the meantime to keep an account of profits. Mr. Rolt assented. He observed that the bill did not allege that Mr. Hingston wrote any of the plaintiffs, work. The injunction was therefore refused, the motion being ordered to stand over till the hearing, leave being given to amend the bill. BREACH OF PROMISE.—An action for breach of promise of marriage was tried in the Court of Commons Pleas yesterday. A young girl named Berry sued a Mr. Da Costa for damages. There could be no doubt that the promise had been made and that the plaintiff had beetnhesre,s duced. Ultimately the defendant married his x m , 5 %5 0. maid. The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for AN UNLUCKY PARTNER. —A strange accident has taken place at a public ball at Vienna. An officer became entangled by the crinoline of his partner, and falling, broke one of his legs; the lady rolling over him. in her turn, fell on the other leg and fractured it likewise. 100 et 1 20 "401 10 100 1 100 100 100 all 100 100 100 2 100 all ,00 100 t 101) 2 100 100 190 100 100 1F 0 100 100 2.1.0 21/4 2.14.6 3* 2.14.0 8.3.0 3.9.0 10.8.0
