MARKETS---This Day. MARE-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat since our last rsport have Somewhat increased, but the show of samples on the stands to-day was limited. The trade, generally speaking, was by no means active, yet the bulk of the supply was dis posed of at Monday's quotations. About an average supply of foreign v (heat was on sale. American descriptions were in modr,rate request at full prices ; but in other kinds, sales •progressed slowly, al though at quite previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain met a slow sale at late cur rencies. There was a large supply Of foreign barley on offer, but the show of home-grown produce on the stands was only moderate. Good and fine malting qualities sold steadily, at fully late rates; otherwise, the barley trade was dull, on rather easier terms. The malt trade was steady, at full currencies. Oats were in fair supply Wi l d slow request, at late rates. For beans and peas tho trade was slow, yet no change took place in prices as crimpared with Monday. ' There was a firm d'omand for flour, and the quotations Were steadily supprJrted. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.Barley.Malt. Oats. Flour. yri n s g h li . sh and S Wheat.

Monetary affairs continue in an easy position, and notwithstanding the active demand for accom modation now experienced, the abundant supply of capital at the command of discounters shows not th e least diminution. The brokers are again display ing an eagerness to obtain the business brought lerward, and the rates remain easy at 51 I for the best commercial bills. The applications for assist ance to the authorities have been more numerous, b ut the Bank of England is still negotiating a com- Paratively small number of securities through the wer quotations which prevail in the open market. T here were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. T he Bank o f E ng l an d re t urn for the past week 0 t°ws several important alterations, which, by the I re h duetion o f t h e rate of discount, was fully expected. vi res erve, notwithstanding the payment of the reser ve, has be en augmen t e d.

The accounts of the Universal Marine Insurance C ompany to the 31st of December last show that !he heavy su m o f 127,9041., standing to the debit of Income and expenditure account on the Ist of Janu ary, 1863,has been entirely covered. The directors have resolved not to propose a dividend at the en suing meeting. The report of the directors of the Melb ourne and Hobson's Bay Railway recommend a vidend a the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for te the half- Year. The Bank of New Zealand shareholders met at Auckland on the 28th of October last, to receive the sixth report, when it was unanimously adopted. A dividend and bonus equal to 15 per cent. per annum was declared. buring the last few days a very limed amount 'of b us i ness has been transacted in most descriptions of foreign and colonial produce. The of Indian t ea h ave progressed slowly, at about p public sa r les viousl e y current rates. Sugars have been "in very moderate request, and prices have given way 6d. per cent. Steady rates, however, have been ob tained for coffee and cocoa, while rice has been in active demand, at enhanced prices. The operations in tallow have been moderate, and prices have coif tinned steady. At the annual meeting to-day of the Peel River Land and Mineral Company, the report of the di rectors stated that the amount available for divi dend was 16,1981. 2s. id., of which 9,0001. was appropriated as an interim dividend in July last , and it w as now recommended that a further 6,000/ ., or one sum of per cent., free of Income-tax, be payable on and after the 24th inst. The half -yearly meeting of the South Wale s was held at Sydney on th e 26 th of Bank of N ew October last. The report, -w le net hich was unanimou s l y adopted, showed a divisib profit of 80,179/. 16s. 3d. for the half-year's wOrking. A di vidend at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum was declared on the old stock—absorbing 56,250/. ; on the n ew stock paid in the colonies, for five months, 8,172/. 10s. ; on. the new paid in London, three months, 1,8941. 10s. ; also a bonus of 2i per cent, per annum on paid-up capital, taking 11,0521. 16s. Bd. The City of Milan Improvements Company, with a capital of 600,0001., in shares of 301. each, has been brought forward by the Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England. The directors of the new Company have obtained a concession from the muni cipality of Milan of seven acres of land, upon which is to be rebuilt the Piazza del Duomo. The pur chase money is very much below the price originally Paid for it by the authorities, and the directors are Te n abled to allow interest at the rate of 7 per cent. Attl& e llding the sale or l ease o f t h e reconstructed build . the pre sen t t i me the rental derived from ah.althe Property, which is freehold, is about 106,000/.; ld assumi ng t h e capital required to be raised, the di vidend on the shares or debentures may be esti mated at 15 per cent. But there are other sources I rgin which a good return may bey ex pected. The portion of the city which isconfiden confidently to be re built comprises the very quarter where the principal business of the town is carried on, and the demand for Offices, shops, &e., has latterly much increased. The removal of the capital of Italy to Florence ig also likely to give a further st imulus t o th e com merce of the northern part of the kingdom, and there appears to be every reason to justify the direc tors of the company in anticipating an exceedingly good profit from their enterprise. The shares are 2 prem. A general meeting of shareholders of the Metro. politan and Provincial Bank took place to-day-. The report presented stated that the directors regretted that they could not, congratulate the shareholders on the satisfactory progress of the bank daring the half-year ending Dec. 31 last, they had unfortu nately to report that a considerable amount of pre viously reserved profit h1),,il been absorbed, and tliey could not, therefc,re, at this meeting, recommend the paynkakt of a'dividend. In the preparation of the balance-sheet, provision had been made, amply sufficient in their judgment, for every bad and doubtful debt ; the usual propor tion of preliminary expenses had been written off ; and the current expenses had been paid, with the exception of the amount, appro priated under the articles of association, to the re muneration of the directors, which, in the present instance, they proposed not to accept. The position of the bank, on the Ist of January, may be briefly stated as follows, viz. :—A subscribed capital (held by 535 proprietors) of 1,934,700/. ; a paid-up capi tal of 309,380/. ; a reserved fund of 10,000/. ; and a balance of 3,0731. ss. 10d. carried forward to the profit and loss new account.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. • (Sittings at Nisi hius.—Before Mr. Justice Byles and a Common Jury.) BILBEE V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a suit by the plaintiff, a brickmaker, to re cover damages for injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendants. Mr. Sergeant Parry, with whom was Mr. Joyce, appeared for the plaintiff, and in opening the case, said that although this was an important suit the defendants did not appear. Mr. Justice Bylessaid that was extraordinary, as the case was on the list yesterday. Mr. Sergeant Parry said that, notwithstanding, he felt bound to proceed with his client's case, but if it had been shown that there had been any misapprehension on the part of the defendant he would not take any unfair ad vantage—even of a railway company. (A laugh.) The learned counsel stated the case, from which it appeared that the plaintiff was employed on the brickfields of Messrs. Crawley, on the Croydon line, and on the morning of the 11th of June last was returning home about 9 o'clock. He was crossing the' line at a place called Parson's Road, , and being 'rather deaf, and a train towards London having just passed him, his infirmity and the noise prevented his hearing a down train, and as he was crossing the rails it struck him. He was knocked down and one of his arms was broken and some of his ribs stove in. The negligence charged was that the defendants should have had a man stationed at the gate leading to the rails, or some notice to warn passengers, which precaution. had not been taken. The plaintiff was an out-patient for ten weeks at St. Thomas's Hospital, and was not yet able to resume his work. His earnings were between 21. and N. a week in summer, and 3s. 6d. a day in winter. The case was fully proved, and the jury assessed the damages at 1001. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Lord Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CIIETWY'AD V. CHETWYND. The case was proceeded with this morning. William Leary, clerk to Mr. Henry Matthews, examined by Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., said Mr. Matthews' chambers were at 5, Paper-buildings. Ho had been in Mr. Matthews' employment five or 'six years. Mrs. Chetwynd called at Mr. Matthews' chamli4s about three and a half years ago. She was in a cab with'another lady and two maids. The ladies went into Mr. Matthews' room, and the maids into his. The second lady; he thought, was Miss Webb. She came a second time with Miss Talbot, her sister. Mr. Matthews was not thpn at home. He never remembered seeing her alone there or at the lodgings at Stafford. There was no cross-examination. Eliza Pomford, examined by Mr. Hawkins, Q.a, said — She was living lately as lady's-maid at Mrs. Leveson Gower's. That was up to the 21st of Dec. last. She left in consequence of her name being in the papers in connection with Mr. Chetwynd. She declined to say whether she left of her own accord, or was dismissed. She was now living with her sister and brother-in-law in Dover-street. There was never any impropriety of any kind or sort between her and Mr. Chetwynd. She remembered going down to New Brighton in August,. 1862, and remained there three weeks or a month. After they had been there three or four days Mr. Chetwynd came down and remained about a week. He brought the children with him and a ser vant named Jane Newport. When Mr. Chetwynd left witness and Jane Newport were left with Mrs. Chetwynd• Mr. Matthews used to visit Mrs. Chetwynd after Mr. Chetwynd had gone. He came a day or two after Mr. Chetwynd left, but never while Mr. Chetwynd was there. Mr. Matthewo visited Mrs. Chetwynd four or five times at the lodgings, consisting of a private sitting and and three bed rooms. Once or twice Mr. Matthews stayed there a couple of hours. It was in the afternoon that his visits were paid. Vhen Mr. and Mrs. Chetwynd were together Mr. Chetwynd behaved kindly to her, but she had heard words between them on the subject of Mrs. Chetwyn's debts. He very often spoke of that subject when the Post came in. She did not know of any disputes between them except upon that occasion. She never heard Mrs. Chetwynd complain, of Mr. Chetwynd having used vio lence to her. Mrs. Chetwynd, to witness's knowledge, never complained of having been obliged to sleep on the ptairs, or of having been turned out of her husband's room. Mrs. Chetwynd had a bedroom of her own independently of Mr. Clietwynd's ; and abo a couch in the boudoir. Witness was so much about Mrs. Chetwynd, that she must have heard of it if it had been used. She never heard that Mrs. Chetwynd had been 'Kept watching outside of public houses for her husband. They seldom went out together. She never heard of the housekeeper being knocked down, or anything of that sort. She always attended Mrs. Chetwynd when she undressed, and never saw any marks of violence. Mrs. Chetwynd went away several times from home some days without Mr. Chetwynd's knowledge. At New Brighton she had known Mrs. Chetwynd to go out alone with Mr. Henry Matthews three or four times. She dined in the evening, and it was after dinner that she went out, remaining more than two hours. She had seen Mr. Matthews come up to the gate with her. She had seen Mr. Matthews once at Longdon. She had been to the,alemple. Mrs. Chetwynd told her they were Mr. Matthews's chambers. She had waited in the Cab for Mrs. Chetwynd. Once she waited two hours or more. It was in the year 1862. She had been there with Mrs. Chetwynd at other times, but she could not particularly remember when. Mr. Matthews brought her to the cab, and he wished witness good night. She thought they then went to the Grosvenor Hotel. It was past midnight when they left the Temple. At the Grosvenor Hotel Mrs. Chet wynd did not give her own name, but that of Clifford. Witness remembered the occasion when the stairs were floured.. Mrs. Chetwilad said she suspected that there was an improper intimacy between Mr. Chetwynd and a girl in the house, and asked her to assist her in flouring the stairs, but she refused to have anything to do with it. Mrs. Chetwynd assisted in flouring the stairs, re- I marking that she wanted to get up a case against Mr. Chetwynd. Mrs. Chetwynd set up all night for the purpose of watching him. Witness knew a smelling bottle that belonged to Mrs. Chetwynd. She had two or three, perhaps more. (A witness was called to produce a smelling bottle, but he said he had not got it with him, and was sent to Hoxton to fetch it. Cross-examined by Sir A. Phillimore—She was with Mrs. A. Leveson Gower three months. She was with Mrs. Major Chetwynd before she went. Mr. Chetwynd called her " Tizzy" because the children did so. Mrs. Chetwynd told him she did not like it. When she went to London in Mrs. Chetwynd's clothes she went into the housekeeper's room. She did not remember going into any other room. She left Mrs. Chetwynd's service because she wanted to go abroad. Miss Edwards was with Mrs. Chetwynd dur ing the whole time she was at New Brighton. She knew nothing about any accusation of adultery with Mr. Chet wynd before she read it in the papers. It was quite a surprise to her. Mr. Chetwynd sent to her friend's in St James's-place, to inquire where she was living, and Mr Palmer, the solicit or , th en ca lled upon her. She did not know that there was a public-house in Wimpole-street. She was never there with Mr. Palmer. i.While at Brighton the visits of Mr. Matthews were paid in the afternoon, certainly not in the morning, because Mrs. Chetwynd did not get up until late. Mr. Matthews came alone. She did not know whether Miss Edwards-was there or not. Sir R. Phillimore---Do you think she was there ? Wit ness—l don't know. Sir R. Philliinore pressed the question, and Mr. Hawkins objected, remarking that if it was allowed he should ask some of the witnesses what they thought Mrs. Chetwynd was doing on certain occasions. (Laughter.) The cross-examination was then continued, chiefly with reference to the flouring of the stairs, the reason of which she said she did not know. It never occurred to her that Mr. Chetwyndhad any improper intimacy with any of his maid servants. She believed he had not. Mrs. Chetwynd told witness she floured the stairs because she wanted to have a divorce from her husband, but she did not say upon what ground. She said she wanted to get half her hus band's property. Hannan Datten, an attendant at Peckham House, said her maiden name was Emerson. She went to live at Long don Hall in July 1861, and remained until Feb. 1862. She was the parlour maid. She remembered a disturbance about some sovereigns. There were a few words about it in the dining-room, and subsequently in the housekeeper's room. She saw Mrs. Chetwynd next morning, but she did not see any marks upon her. Mr. Chetwynd was very kind and indulgent to his wife. She had frequently heard words between them in reference to Mrs. Chetwynd's bills. She never knew of Mr. Chetwynd throwing a cup or saucer at his wife. She went into the room after the disturbance and cleared away the things. They were in the same state that she had left them, and none of them were broken. The case was proceeding when we went to press. [The following cross-examination of Mr. Chetwynd ap peared in our late edition of last evening :--] Cross-examination continued—l know a Mr. Mulock. He is now in Stafford Gaol. He writes for the Stafford newspaper. I have not seen him since these proceedings commenced. I have had a communication with him re specting this case. lam aware that he is in prison for a contempt of this court. I was in communication with him before the fact. It was not for the purpose of getting him to intimidate my wife from bringing this suit. I told him he must not publish certain matters. The reason that I had a private letter bag was because I found that my letters had been opened. When I went into Mrs. Chetwynd's boudoir after she had left I found the diaries I have spoken of. It would be late in February, 1864. They were in a desk, which I opened with a key. I found nothing but the book. I have not read them. One I have never opened at all. The two French books I found on the book shelves, amongst about 30 or 40 others. Mrs. Chetwynd first absented herself from my house without my permission. She used to go out when I was not at home. If she had asked me I should have objected to her frequent visits to London. I thought it was a useless expense, and I did not know where she used to go to, further than it was to hotels. At home she principally visited the Knights. I positively deny that low people ever dined at my house. I know the blacksmith and butcher living near Longdon. -They never dined at my table. I deny entirely every act of cruelty that has been charged against me. I deny that I ever struck her or pushed her. I deny that I locked her out of her bedroom I never laid a finger on her. Referring to Beaudessert, I was sitting at my desk when she returned. I have whips hanging up in the room, but I had not one near me. I had a pen in my hand. I think she slept in the cook's room. She left Longdon about 4 o'clock in the morning. I suppose she got out of the room the same way that she got in. (Laughter.) I didn't lock her in. I kept as many servants as I could afford, viz., five. I will not swear that with all my servants I received a good character. Some came without a character. (Laughter.) Sarah Wilkins came without one. I only engaged four servants, but I will swear that my establishment was very properly con ducted with respect to female servants. I entirely deny tell ing my children to spit in their mother's face. About the savings—l told Mrs. Chetwynd to cash a cheque, and she brought me some sovs. in a paper. They might have been rolled up. I did not throw them all in a lump at_Mrs. Chetwynd. I went to my dressing-room, and counted them, and finding there was one short, I went back and threw them at Mrs. Corns. I might have knocked the table down, and I might have pushed Mrs. Corns down—(laughter)—but I certainly did not push Mrs. Chetwynd down. I didn't roll ' over Mrs. Corns. (Laughter.) I still maintain I have never called Mrs. Chetwynd bad names. I have called her a liar and a swindler, but never the other names yon have suggested. I try to forget when I have used bad names. The Judge Advocate—Will you swear you have not called your wife a b—h twenty times. Witness—No. The Queen's Advocate—Well, then, fifty times. Witness—Yes. The Queen's Advocate—How do you know that, if you forget ? Witness—Because I have not had fifty occasions. (Laughter.) The Queen's Advocate—Then Mrs. Knight seems to, have been an especial favourite for the bestowing these terms on. Witness—Mrs. Knight ! There are no words too bad for her. After some further unimportant questions, the examina tion concluded, the witness having been in the box three hours and a half. Edwin Rushton, jun.,—l am a bricklayer's labourer, in the employ of Mr. Smith, of Litchfield. I was, on the 29th of Nov., 1863, walking from Litchfield to Longdon about 10 o'clock one night. About half a mile from the hall I met Mrs. Chetwynd; a gentleman was with her. I should not know him again. It was not Mr. Chetwynd. They were walking very close.together. After that I met Henry Vinfield going to London. I made an observation to him Mrs. Chetwynd was walking in the direction of her own home. By Sergeant Ballantine—l cannot swear whether they Were arm in arm. I can't say whether the man was young or old. Henry Vinfield—l am a labourer. I recollect meeting Rushton on the occasion just mentioned. I met him at. Biking-brook. It was in the direction of Longdon. I did not meet any persons. After I had parted with Rushton I overtook Mrs. Chetwynd and Nicholls. They were walking very close together. I noticed where they went to. They turned into Mrs. Foster's park. It was a light night. I went on. I have taken letters from Mrs. Chetwynd to Mr. Nicholls. I know Mrs. Chetwynd's hand writing. I gave letters in at a house in John-street for Mr. Nicholls in December, 1863. Cross-examined by the Queen's Advocate—lt was on the 29th of November that I met Mrs. Chetwynd and Mr. Nicholls. There is a house close to the gate of Mrs. Foster's park. I have had Mr. Nicholls pointed out to me by a man named Jarrett. He said that is the person—l said yes, that's Nicholls. I did not know Mr. Nicholls at all before he was pointed out to me. Charles Oram—l was undergroom at Longdon Hall in 1863. I took Mrs. Chetwynd's saddle-horse to Col. Hall's. There was a ball at the Town-hall, at Stafford. We went to Miss Edwards. I left her there about 7or 8 o'clock. I took the horses round the next morning between 8 and 9 o'clock. I saw Mrs. Chetwynd the next morning. She had her riding habit on. A gentleman was with her. I should know him again. I have seen him in this court. [Mr. Nicholls was here called into court, and the wit ness said he believed him to be the person, but he was not certain.] Cross-examined —Charles Smith took Mrs. Chetwynd's horse, and I took Mr. Nicholls's. They both mounted and rode away together. Cross-examined- 4 was in Mrs. Chetwynd's service for about six weeks. I never have heard Mr. Chetwynd swear. I was first called upon for my evidence a few days ago. I told Mr. Palmer what I knew about the matter two months ago. I was sent for to Longdon Hall. I saw Mr. Palmer there. I cannot tell all that he said to me. He asked me about taking the horses to Stafford. I cannot tell why he asked me the questions, as I had told him all I knew two months before. Francis Vintin—l reside near Longdon. I recollect the night after the Stafford ball. I was sent for to the hall. I was directed to remain in the road. After that a portmanteau was brought to me. Ellen Burns brought it. I took that portmanteau to Litchfield. I know where Mr Nicholls lodges there. It is next door to the Marquis of Anglesey Inn. I delivered the message to Mr. Nicholls I received from Ellen Burns. I left the portmanteau at Mr. Nicholls'. He opened it and took his topcoat out of it. I waited whilst he wrote another letter, which he gave me to de liver at Longdon Hall. I gave it to one of the servants. Mr. Kennealy—What directions were given to you when the letter was handed to you. The Queen's Advocate objected to the question, and it was not pressed. Examination continued—l got a letter the next morning from Longdon Hall. It was given to me by the same woman who brought the portmanteau. I took that letter to Mr. Nicholls' lodgings, in Litchfield. I have carried five or six letters in all to Mr. Nicholls from Mrs. Chetwynd I used to carry the letter-bag to Longdon-hall. I always had to keep Mrs. Chetwynd's letter-bag from Mr. Chet wynd's observation. I never had any conversation with Mrs. Chetwynd about the letter-bag. Cross-examined -4 only carried Mrs. Chetwynd's letter bag once. I was first asked to give evidence by Mr. Pal mer (Mr. Chetwynd's solicitor) about six weeks ago. It might be more, it might be less. I was at home near Longdon when I was asked about giving evidence. By Mr. Hawkins, have seen Mr. Miller; he came to me on the part of Mrs. Chetwynd. I told him I had given my evidence to Mr. Palmer, and I should say no more. Edward Rushton, sen.—l have been a labourer at Long don Hall 22 years. I have constantly been in and out the house. I frequently saw Mr. and Mrs. Chetwynd when they were out in the grounds. I never heard Mrs. Chet wynd complain of Mr. Chetwynd's conduct. She was very fond of horses. I've carried the letter-bag to and from Longdon. Six months before she left, Mrs. Chetwynd had a private letter bag. I used to conceal Mrs. Chet wynd's letter bag under my apron until I had delivered it to one of the female servants. Cross-examined by the Queen's Advocate—l carry coals or cut sticks. I thought Mr. and Mrs. Chetwynd lived very happily together. William Hayes, horsedealer, of Walsall—l have known Mrs. Chetwynd for 10 years. I have met her at horse fairs, but never without knowing that Mr. Chetwynd was in the fair. She talked alone with the dealers. She was a good judge of horseflesh. I know that she had horses at Rugeley, but I can't say how many. Mrs. Chetwynd could show a horse off to the best advantage. Just in the same manner as I should do it. She whipped the horse as the man ran it up the yard, just as I should have done it. (Laughter.) Mrs. C. has applied to me to lend her money, and I did to the extent of 501. She told me not to let Mr. C. know it. I have never been in the dining-room at Longdon. I've been in the kitchen and housekeeper's room. She has sat chattering with me after. Mr. Chet wynd had gone to bed. We talked about horses ; but there was no harm in that, you know. (Laughter.) I am fond of my " backer," and I always enjoy it when I can. I have smoked at Longdon, and on one occasion Mrs. Chetwynd did a pipe herself. (Laughter). I have remained at Longdon all night on certain occasions, when _ I have been invited by Mr. Chetwynd. I have known Mr. Chetwynd for 20 years. I have been to fairs with him frequently. I never saw him intoxicated, neither have I heard him use bad language. Cross-examined by the Queen's Advocate-1 " are" one of the security for Mr. Chetwynd's costs in this action. I don't know Mrs. Chetwind's brothers. The Queen's Advocate—l suppose that smoking was a joke? Witness—l don't know. (Laughter.) She had two pipes. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—And two for a lady not used to it would be no joke. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Edward G-ethin, a horse dealer, said—l have sold horses to Mrs. Chetwynd, one, I believe, was for Mr. Mathews. I have seen her at Rugeley and Lincoln horse fairs, but then things are done quietly there. (Laughter.) Mrs. Chetwynd was a very first rate judge of horses. The further hearing of the case was, at this point, ad journed until to-morrow. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market quiet, but steady. Sales, probably 6,000 ►ales. The Price of Gold. T fie quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per milled pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.17 i per Al sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-iothe per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advic: s from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4 f per Al sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefcre, rath , r more than 1-lath per cent. dearer in Lo ndon than in Elam- burg. The course of exchange at New York on London foor b il ls st is 60 days' sight is 238 per cent ., and the pr emium abut 217 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the Importation of go'd from the United St‘teo. ICO 100 100 10 100 100 :SII M. Cam Consol. Gold, Um Chiverton Clifford A malgamated Devon G. Cons.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY.—John Gavin and Henry Montague, both of whom refused• their addresses, were charged before Mr. Knox, with being concerned with a woman named Ellen Harrington, now under remand, with breaking and entering the house, No. 17, Golden-square, and stealing wearing apparel, &c., of the value of about 301. Police-constable Gordon, 33 C, said—On Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, I saw the two prisoners in Crown-street, Seven-dials. They went into an archway, Montague carrying a bundle. I waited till 11 o'clock, and Butcher and Dawson, two other constables, came. About that time the two prisoners came out of the archway. Gavin went up to the door of No. 24, Crown-street, and gave two knocks, and the woman in custody (Ellen Harrington) came down and opened the door, and spoke to Gavin. Gavin then went in with th% bundle, Montague remaining outside. I after wards saw the woman come out with something under her shawl. The prisoners then walked before the woman, Gavin saying he would be at the corner of Seven-dials. The prisoners seeing Butcher and Dawson took to their heels and made off. I followed, but lost sight of them in Dudley-street, but Dawson stopped the woman, and found nine shirts in her possession, part of the property stolen from No. 17, Golden-square. The woman was then taken into custody, and brought to this court and remanded. I afterwards went into the house 24, Crown-street, and in the woman's room I found a large quantity of property connected with the burglary. Last night I saw the two prisoners, having been engaged since Tuesday night, along with Sergeant Ackrill, of the F division, in looking after them. As soon as they saw me they made off, and I was prevented from following them in consequence of being surrounded by about 40 men and women—most of them thieves ; and I could only get away by striking them with my rattle. Subsequently Ackrill and another officer succeeded in taking the prisoners. Mr. Knox—When was the burglary committed ? Gordon—On the night of the 7th. Gavin—Who was with me on Tuesday night ? Gordon—Montague and another thief. Gavin—You'll swear it was ten o'clock when you first saw me? Gordon—No ; it was nine o'clock. Gavin—lt is strange yon did not take me into custody on Wednesday night, when you, came into a house and told us all to leave. Gordon—l did not go into any honse on Wednesday night and see you, or I should have taken you into custody then. Gavin—l own I have done wrong before ; but why should I be charged with a thing I'm innocent of. If I was guilty I could not say so, because I know I have broken the laws of my country. Montague—Had I these cuts on my face•on Tuesday night ? Gordon—l can't say. Gavin—Then how can you identify me ? Gordon—l know you well. _ Montague—On Sunday night last I was set upon by a mob of men and ill-used, especially about the eyes. Up to last night; including all Tuesday night, I was in bed. The constable is a false swearing wretch, for I was not there on Tuesday night. Gavin—No more was I. t Mr. Knox—Did other officers see them ? Gordon—Yes. _ . Mr. Knox—l shall remand the prisoners. The evidence against them is but slight at present. It is that they are seen at the house of the woman where some of the stolen property is found, and there is no evidence of their having had any part in the burglary. The police, hewever, will by the next examination have time to make proper inquiries. WESTMINSTER. "ONE MORE UNEORTUNATE."--JaMeS Stuart was charged with violently assaulting Emma Bunting, of 14, Marl borough-road, Chelsea. Complainant, a well-favoured girl, said that at half-past nine last night she was walking down Cadogan-place, when the defendant came up, told her to return home with him, and upon her refusal, beat her with his fists and kicked her. Mr. Arnold—How do you get your living ? Complainant—l am on the streets. Mr. Arnold—How old are you? Complainant—l shall be 16 soon. Mr. Arnold—How long have you been pursuing this shocking course of life ? Complainant—Nearly 12 months. Mr. Arnold—Then you began before you were 15 ; that was very early. What led you to it ? Complainant—l was turned out of doors. I had no home and it was my only means of living. Mr. Arnold—How long have you known the defendant? Complainant—Four months. Mr. Arnold—Have you been living with him ? Complainant—Yes, I have, and lam very sorry. I had got off the streets and gone into service, and I had left my service ft:4r months ago, when on the very same day the defendant came to me and said he would keep me if I would come and live with him and take me off the streets, but he didn't. I still had to walk the streets for a living, and he also ill-used me. He is a costermonger, but he would not go out more than once a week, and it was not likely that would keep us. I left him three times, but I was afraid of his threats, and went back to him. Mr. Arnold—Have you parents living ? Complainant—My father is dead ; my mother is in the workhouse. Defendant said he only struck her once, and he was much excited at the time, because she seemed to like another young man better than him. A policeman proved that, after hearing cries of " Police," he went up and saw the defendant strike the girl three vio lent blows, and she bled much. Mr. Arnold remanded him till Tuesday, and finding the girl has a married sister, requested to see her. THAMES. A DISPUTED CAB FARE.—Mr. John Lanceley, a gentle man connected with Hoare's brewery, and residing at 10 Burr-street, Lower East Smithfield, was summoned for re-. fusing to pay the sum of 7s. Gd. to Joseph Arundel, a cab driver. It appeared from the complainant's statement that on the 4th of the present month he was engaged by the defendant to convey him from Burr-street to Murray-street, Hoxton, where he was paid 25., and a second engagement was then entered into to convey the defendant and a friend to Not ting-hill, calling on the way in the neighbourhood of Euston-square, and completing the drive to Burr-street. For this job he was to be paid 55., including half an hour's waiting. The complainant drove defendant and friend to Little Cres cent-street, Euston-road, where they alighted and went into a shop. After a short delay the two gentlemen left the shop and told the complainant to follow them with his horse and cab. He drove after them a short distance, and they went into a public-house. The conplainant waited three hours with his horse and cab in front of the public-house, and then inquired for his fare, of whom he could hear no tidings, and he then returned to Burr-street, where he saw Mr. Lanceley, who refused to pay him. He demanded 6s. for three hours' waiting, and is. 6d. for the drive from Murray-street, to Little Crescent-street. The defence set up was that 7s. was demanded and agreed to be paid from Murray-street to Little Crescent street, Notting-hill, and back to Burr-street ; that the de fendant and his friend did not go into the public-house at the corner of the street, but one of them went into a place adjoining while the other waited outside. After a short detention they got into a cab, which they supposed to be the complainant's, and were driven to Notting-hill, and from there to St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross, and paid the driver 6s. It was insinuated that the complainant had not waited in Little Crescent-street at all, and was in col lusion with another cab-driver, but it was very clearly made out that he had acted honestly in the matter, and waited three hours. Mr. William Taylor, of 108, Euston-road, was examined at great length on the matter. Mr. Partridge said the evidence for the defence put Mr. Lanceley out of court most completely. It was proved that the complainant had not been paid for the drive from Murray-street to Little Crescent-street, that he followed the defendant and Mr. Taylor when ordered, and that he was waiting for them three hours. Both gentlemen had made a most stupid mistake, and there was no evidence the complainant had been guilty of any fraud. 34. Lanceley and Mr. Taylor entered the wrong cab, and the complainant must not suffer by their error. He ordered the defendant to pay 7s. 6d., to which Arundel was justly entitled, and 2s. the cost of the summons. The complainant asked for compensation for loss of time. Mr. Partridge said he could not allow the complainant ' any compensation for his loss of time, because he had neg lected to give the defendant a ticket. The complainant said he was not asked for one. Mr. Partridge said that a ticket ought to have been de livered to the defendant when he, first hired the cab. The complainant would suffer for his neglect in not receivulb any remuneration for loss of time.

The Poor-law inquiry at the Holborn Union into the case of Timothy Daly is not yet concluded. Several witnesses were examined ye)sterday, and at the rising of the Court it was adjourned until to-day. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Brown, a police constable, and Barber, two men who were convicted of an assault yesterday, were placed at the bar for sentence. It will be recollected that Brown, the policeman, was found guilty of committing an assault upon the wife of Barber, and there was a cross indictment againt Barber of which he also was found guilty, for assaulting Brown. The Recorder said this was a very serious matter for a constable, whose duty it was to preserve the peace, to have been found guilty of assaulting. He would have inflicted a much heavier sentence supposing it was.the only prmish ment the prisoner would have to undergo, but as tho sen tence he was about to pass would result in his diranissal from the force, he thought the justice of the case would ha met by his being imprisoned in the House Of Correction for two months with hard labour. Barber no doubt received great provocation, but that did not justify his takin g the law into his own hands. Under all the circumstances of the case he should order him to be imprisoned for 11 days. A foreigner, named William Goldstein, was indicted for receiving a quantity of cloth and wearing apparel, well knowing it to have been stolen. From the evidence it appeared that on the 10th of De cember, the prisoner was seen to receive a quantity of cloth from three men in the St. Pancras-road, which he took to a room he had but a short time before engaged. When asked by the police whether he had received any property of the description stolen, he denied having done so. The pri soner's room was searched by the police and the cloth found. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The three men—Harrison, Gordon, and Street—yester day convicted of stealing the goods which Goldstein had received, were then placed at the bar for sentence. The Recorder sentenced Street to eight years' penal ser vitude, Harrison to seven years' penal servitude, Gordon to twelve months, and Goldstein to nine months' imprison ment with hard labour. The cabman who had given evidence in the CiSti was called forward b y t h e Recorder, and complimented upon the manner he had acted. He ordered him a reward of SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATT ERSALL'S-THURSDAY. Seldom have we seen so smallanattendance at the Corner produce any betting at an, and although the transac tions this afternoon were limited, there was evidently some money in the market had there been layers to accommodate those who were ready to invest. For the Two Thousand 8 to 1 was " wanted" about / 3 robmielaw, and inquiries about Chattanooga led to nothing more definite than 8 to 1 bar two. That Mr. Naylor's horse, however, wood -hew. been supported at a couple more points there could have been no manner of doubt. sto 1 was offered on the field for the Derby, and after 800 to 100 had been booked about Breadalbane, 8 " fifties" were offered in another quarter without a response. 20 to 1 was accepted about Broomie law to £5O, and thus it will be seen that the interest of the day's proceedings centred upon the Spring Cottage " dark" pair.
