THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH IN COURT ANDERSON V. ST. JAMES'S HALL COMPANY. This was an action brought by Mr. J. 11. Anderson, the world-renowned magician, against the St. James's Hall Company for breach of engagement. The Hon. G. Denman appeared for Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Coleridge for the St. James's Hall Company. The special jury having been sworn, The officer of the court announced that the special jury were ready to try the case of Anderson v. St. James's-hall Company, when The Hon. Mr. Denman said that he had a communica tion to make which would render their hearing of the case unnecessary. He had been in consultation with his learned friend on the other side, and their object in so meeting was solely to endeavour to do the best they could for their re spective clients. Mr. Anderson, the plaintiff, was the greatly celebrated and well-known personage the Great Wizard 'of the North, and he had brought the pre sent action against the defendants for compensation for illegally ejecting him from St. James's Hall. There were peculiar questions of law likely to arise on both sides, and such being the case, it had been agreed that a confe rence should take place, with a view to a settlement. The desired result had followed the interviews of counsel on both sides, and he had the satisfaction to inform the court that the defendants had consented to pay Mr. Anderson the sum of £125, and all the costs incurred in the suit, and further, that all imputation on both sides were to bo with drawn, and no publicity other than that which would appear in the usual organs of information should take place. Chief Justice Erle said he should like again to hear the exact terms. _ . Mr. Denman—That a juror should bo withdrawn, that the defendants pay the plaintiff £125 and costs within a week, and every imputation on either side should be with drawn. _ _ Mr. Coleridge, on the part of the defendants, said doubtless a good deal could be said on bothjsides, but it appeared to him that Mr. Anderson had been turned out of St. James's Hall rather sharply, and therefore he agreed to the proposal submitted to the court. Ile did not know what was exactly meant by all imputations being with drawn; he certainly had to state that his clients had never made any to the detriment of Mr. Anderson. Under all the circumstances of the case, the best course to pursue was an amicable one. Tho verdict was then entered for the plaintiff, with £125 damages and costs. The Court and Westminster Hall was crowded with theatricals, amongst them being Mr. J. B. Buckstone, Mr. Sothern, Mr. R. Shephord, Mr. Nimmo, Mr. E. P. Hing sten, Mr. T. Chappell, Mr. Leader, &c. As soon as the case terminated, the Great Wizard of the North was surrounded by his friends, and as he de scended the steps leading from the court to Westminster hall, he was very warmly received by a great number of persons who had been attracted to the spot. POLICE iNTELLIGE Al CE.—This Day. M.ARLBOROUGII-STREET. COMMITTAL OF ONE OF THE WORST FEMALE THIEVES IN LONDON. —Catherine Cross, alias Keefe, a notorious thief, and who is said to be one of the worst thieves in London, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch of the value of £6, the property of Mr. Adolph Wener, upholsterer, of No. 7, Sherbourne-street, Bland ford-square. The prosecutor said he met the prisoner in Oxford street, and she walked a short distance with him, and left him, and directly after he missed his watch, of the value of £6, and ho then gave information to the police. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said that he apprehended the pri soner from a description he received, and at the station she dropped the watch from under her clothes. Mrs. Howe, the female warder at the Westminster Prison, attended and proved a number of convictions for felony against the prisoner, and said there wore several other convictions against the prisoner besides those she had proved. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial, and as sho was leaving the dock she addressed the female warder in the most disgraceful language. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. DEFEAT OF TITE PARAGUAYANS. (Per the Guienne.) RIO DE JANEIRO, May 24. The news from the seat of war is up to the 10 instant. Another battle has been fought in Paraguayan territory, and another victory has been gained by the allies, being the third in less than a month. General Flores, who commands the vanguard, had planned an attack on the enemy's camp, and having on the morning of the 2d sent out reconnoi tering parties, the ground was declared quite clear. At about midday, however, a column of about 6,000 Paraguayans, with eight guns and 1,200 cavalry, emerged from a small wood in front of the camp of the vanguard, and, driving in the outposts, opened a heavy fire, followed up by bayonet charges, for which the allies were quite unprepared, as the men were receiving their dinner rations. Two Brazilian and two Montevidean battalions of volun teers, composed exclusively of recruits, and unable to form in time, were driven back. The Brazilian battalions, however, the 7th of the line and the Ist Volunteers, being well drilled, formed square, and for some time resisted alone and with great firmness the deadly fire and charges of large masses of Paraguayans, which caused heavy losses. Victory appeared to frown on the allies, and they would have lost the day but that General Ozorio, who was in his tent with Admiral Tamandur6, hear- ing the flring,imnaediately ordered two battalions of volunteers of the 6th Brigade, who were under arms, to the front in double quick time, galloping himself to the scene of action. The volunteers arrived almost at the same time as the General. They formed in line of attack, the charge was sounded, and, as described by an Englishman who was an eye-witness, this Brazilian band of heroes cut through a solid square of Parguayans, and thus saved Flores. From that moment the Paraguayans _turned. It the meantime the - other:battalions, which had been driven back at the beginning of the action, bad been able to reform, and, dashing forward, com pletely routed the Paraguayans, who were driven back at the point of the bayonet for nearly a league, with enormous losses in men, besides three guns, two flags, and a large quantity of small arms cap tured by the victors, who proceeded to occupy the Paraguayan camp. The Paraguayan losses exceed 1,000 killed, be sides a large number of wounded and prisoners. The Brazilians left 148 killed, about 500 wounded, and a few missing. The Afontevideans lost 40 killed and 200 wounded. Whilst this was taking place in the front, Gene ral Mitre's camp had also been attacked, but he drove back the Paraguayans with some loss. The Argentines lost 10 killed and a few wounded, and captured a flag. At the first dash the Paraguayans managed to seize four pieces, which Gen. Ozorio had lent Flores for his proposed expedition, and which had im prudently been placed within 300 yards of the wood. Ozorio had the previous evening made a remark about the position of those same guns, fearing a surprise, but his opinion had been overruled by Mitre and Flores, the consequence being the loss of those field pieces, which the Paraguayans har nessed to their cavalry and fairly ran away with. This battle took place about 80 miles inland from the banks of the Parana, at a place called Estero Belaco (Treacherous Swamp). Ozorio's horse was killed under him. Flores lost two of his aide-de-camps, who fell dead at his side, and also had two horses killed. The gallantry of the Ist and 7th battalions has been much praised, even by the Argentines and Orientals. Lopez is supposed to have retired to Curupaity, a strong fort a little below Humaita, which the fleet was preparing to attack, and from which it is said Humaita may be shelled. The leader of the Conservatives in the Brazilian Senate, Viscount Itaborahy, on the second reading of the resolution which authorises for this year the budget of the last year, proposed an amendment whiCh passed by six votes, and if it pass the third reading a fusion will be the consequence, and ministers will gain the day, as they have a majority of 26 or 27 votes in the deputies. The Hanoverian Crown Treasures. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. Baron v. Klcnk, the Hanoverian Minister of Finance, arrived here this morning in the steam ship Bremen, from Bremen, bringing 85 packages of specie belonging to the Hanoverian Government, for deposit in the Bank of England. He proceeds to London by the half-past 11 train with the treasure. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE (SOUTH). NEWARK, Monday. The election of a knight to serve in Parliament for this division of the county, rendered vacant by the elevation of Lord Stanhope to the Earldom of Chesterfield, took place this morning at the Town hall of this borough. In the absence of the High Sheriff, Mr. Parsons, the Under-Sheriff, presided, and among those pre sent were Mr. E. Burnell, Mr. E. Milward, Colonel Holden, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Chouler, &c. The usual formalities having been gone through, Col. HOLDEN proposed, and Mr. MI WARD seconded, the nomination of Mr. T. Hildyard, as a fit and pro per person to serve in Parliament. No other candi date being proposed, the Under-Sheriff declared Mr. Hildyard duly elected. Mr. HILDYARD then came forward, girt with a sword, as a knight of the shire, and was received with cheers. After paying a warm tribute to the memory of the late Earl of Chesterfield, he said he wished to thank the electors of South Notts for re turning him to Parliament unopposed. When they first did him that honour 20 years ago they thought ' a critical period, and so it was ; but was not the resent jime much more so ? At home they saw a Government which at the last general election re ceived such large support from the country to follow that wise and prudent old statesman, Lord Palmerston--(great cheering)—proposing, not at the instance of the country, but at the instance of the hon. member for Birmingham, alterations of the greatest importance in our Constitution—in that Constitution which had served them so long and so well, which had made great Britain the most happy and the best governed country in the world. He asked, wherefore this change ? They could not be lieve that it was meant for any real good, when they saw the usual supporters of the Government pro posing amendment after amendment against the measures of their chiefs, and they could only come to the conclusion that the Government was carry ing out the propositions of the hon. member forßir mingham. Looking abroad, they saw three of the greatest nations of Europe, having a population of more than 80 millions, with between two and three millions of men in arms, only waiting for the first shot to be fired to carry the scourge of war through out the continent. He felt that this was a really cri tical time, and he went to Parliament to help to se cure the Constitution against rude invasion. (A He went to assist in he would support the remedying r Voice l — o f"a n the T omsytaolpt-ptarxog injustice, lessai progress.") those principles for his guide, he hoped that he should not prove an un worthy representative in Parliament, A vote of thanks to the late member and to the Sheriff brought the proceedings to a close, Liverpool Cotton Market—(This Day.) The market is quiet. Sales probably 4,000 or b,OOO bales. His Grace the Duke of Marlborough and the other trustees of St. Peter's College, Radley, have appointed the Rev. W.

THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND STREET BEGGARS.—A poor, wretched looking boy, most ingeniously covcred with rags, and who is a cripple, apparently about I 1 years of age, was charged with begging by the Marquis Towns bend. The Marquis said he saw the boy begging of foot pas sengers in Great George-street, Westminster, last night, and knowing him well gave him into custody. Defendant was charged a short time ago at the Marlborough-street Police-court, and was remanded a few weeks ago, the ma gistrate being desirous of getting him, at the instance of his lordship, into an industrial school, but failed owing to his lameness. Dir. Selfe asked if he bad any parents. His Lordship said that the mother dragged hima,boiit with her in a most miserable state. The mother said she knew nothing whatever about the boy begging—be merely went out to sell lucifer matches. The boy snivelled out that he set light to one box of lucifers, and sold the other. The Marquis Townshend said he had every reason to believe he should be successful in getting the poor boy into a refuge in the course of a few days. THAMES. THE WILD SPORTS OF THE EAST.—Abraham Adals berg, a foreign Jew, described as a shipping agent, of No. 199, St. George-street, bettor known as Rateliff-highway, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with cutting and wounding Caroline Shopp, at the Ross and Crown public house in the Highway. Tho complainant, who had a largo surgical bandage, with London Hospital engraved thereon, round her head, said she wished to forgive the prisoner as he had a wife and five children. Mr. Paget—What has ho done to you ? Witness—Why cut my head open ; it has boon sowed up again by tho surgeons in the hospital. ➢ir. Paget told the prisoner if it was true that he had cut the young woman's load open ho ought to make 8.3 m compensation. She was acting with great forbearance and mercy towards him. Ho would consent to the prisoner's discharge. It was uudorstool 1 y the police that the prisoner had made the woman compensation Mora entering the court. CUTTING OFF A MAN'S EAlL—Sarah Marshall, a fierce masculine woman, was chargad with cutting. and wound ing Lewis Thomas. The prosecutor, a tall young man, nidho was a labourer and dwolling at No. 2, Hungorford-street, Commercial road. TWA LaJruing, 'aJtwo.;n the hoars of one and two o'clock, ho was on his way honao in the Commercial-road, near the street in which ho lived, and he saw a fight and row going on. Tao went to see what the row was about, and several persons, including tho prisoner and h'w hus band, fell upon him. The man throw him down and kicked him, and when he was down the woman cut. his left ear off with a knife. Mr. Paget—Out your ear off! how come sho to do that? Witness—l won't mix with them, they are alwaysupon me. I never would associato with them. Here the prisoner entered into a long harangue about Turker Brown, who she said had assaulted her. • John Free, a police-constable, No. 404 K, said he was called this morning to a riot in the Commercial-road, nearly opposite Hungerford-stroot. The prosecutor's oar was bleeding, the greater portion of it was gone. The yonng man said the prisoner had cut his•ear off. Ile saw her throw something away, whether it was a knife or not re could not say. He did not look after it, If he had done so he should have lost the prisoner. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the witness said the prosecutor was quite sober, Ile should have taken the prisoner's husband if he had assistance, The whole of the upper portion of the prisoner's left ear was gone. The Prisoner—l believe it was bitten off —I did not cut it off. Mr. Paget directed the police-constable to make further inquiries about the case, and remanded the prisoner for a weak. THE WAR IN GERMANY.-SOETIIANPTON, Mon• day.—A telegram from Bremen has been received this morning by Messrs. Stuart Day and Co., the agents at this port of the North American Lloyd, announcing that in consequence of tho interruption of communication by the advance of the Prussian army into Hanover, passengers cannot turive at Bremen from the interior, and therefore the Ericsson steamer, belonging to the abovenamed line of ve.lsels, will not leave that port for New York, as an nounced, on the 20th inst. All orders for the engagement of passengers and goods from France and England, which would in regular course have been embarked in the Erics son at this port on Saturday next, are consequently with drawn. DEATII OF SIR MINTO FARQUIIAR.—We regret to have to announce the death of Sir Walter Minto Townehend Farquhar, Bart., M.P. for Hereford. The hon. member a few days ago Was soddenly seized with a fit of paralysis when leaving, the House of Commons, which at length proved fatal last evening. Sir Minto was born at Madrits in 1809, and consequently was in his 57th year. lie was educated at Christ Church, where he passed an excellent examination for his degree in 1829, and was for some years attached to the embassy at Vienna. He suc ceeded his father in the baronetcy in 1830, and first con tested Hertford in 1839 in the Conservative interest, but was unsuccessful. After several other contests he was re turned for that borough in 1857 and has been ono of its representatives over since. The deceased was married in 1835 to Enrica Catherine, daughter of the seyenth Lord Racy, and leaves issue—Eric Robert, born in 1836, and four sons and two daughters. The present (Sir Eric) was brought up to the diplomatic service, which he entered in the autumn of 1856. He has been connected with the British Legations at Berne, Vienna, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and in June, 1863, was trqnsferre4 to Athens as second secretary of legation. COZONIAL.

Cotton from America and Cotton from India. The disturbance of the cotton trade caused by the War in America has been the main cause of the financial difficulties in England. The reason being simple, requires no profound reflection to elucidate. When the Southern States ceased to supply the raw material to our Manchester looms, that material was sought for mainly in India and in Egypt. The West Indies, Turkey, China, the South Sea Islands, and even Australia, were invited to produce their quota, but these supplies were mere adjuncts ;—on India rested the hopes of our manufacturers, and their efforts were almost wholly directed to our Eastern Empire. To stimulate the production an enormous price was offered, and agents passing freely into the interior bid against each other for every pound of the growing crops. " Promises to " pay" have little weight with the Hindoo culti vator ; they require hard coin, and millions were poured into Bombay, and scattered broadcast by these agents over Hindostan. The natives absorbed the money as fast as it arrived, and it disappeared, making little or no sign in the country, though in the Presidency town the part that remained in the hands of the merchants and exporters produced a wonderful result. A sudden and unlooked-for in flux of money almost invariably produces a like result—it is the o ld story of putting a beggar on horseback. The affairs of the so ber citizens of Bombay became expanded with a growing inflation, th e wildest reclamation schemes found eager supporters and were quoted at extravagant premiums, financial bubbles arose with the most alluring colours, and banking institutions grew up like mushrooms, sufficient for the monetary affairs of a mighty empire. W e w i ll take another opportunity of describing Bombay under the forcing process of the cotton demand, transferred by the American War to that port from New Orleans. What happened in England is our object here to show. Cotton became the great medium of specu lation,—and Bombay and Alexandria became the two great marts. It mattered little to the Liver pool speculator to what result his operations were likely to lead ; his calculations were simply based on the margin of gain to himself. Every steamer to the East carried away vast sums of the precious metal, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers poured into Bombay nearly all the gold of Australia. Thus England suffered from the double process ; losing at the same time her own currency, while the supplies from her gold-producing colonies were intercepted; and the whole was shovelled in untold quantities into the same sink. For this money there was no return but bad cotton, ill-dressed, ill-cleaned, and packed with dirt to add to its weight. The Hindoo grew fat on the spoil ; Bombay expanded like a balloon ; and the Liver pool speculators made rapid fortunes. The port of Alexandria became thronged with Liverpool steamers, trade with the East became brisk, and great gains were realised out of the countless thousands of English sovereigns. But in proportion as the hoards grew large in the hands of the Hin doos and Egyptians, the bullion in the Bank of England decreased, and the rate of discount rose. Fluctuations in the value of money became violent, and merchants ceased to be able to calculate to what their commitments would lead. Under the Bank Act of 1844, the currency of this country, sufficiently restricted already, became totally un equal for the work of its gigantic and growing com merce. Thus, while the medium on which we base our barter was lying buried in far away villages of Hindostan and Egypt, England was passing through a series of small panics, to end in the Great Financial Crash of May, 1866. The violent dis turbance caused by the sudden transition of the ,rade in this staple, from the West to the East, seems to have enriched few and ruined many. It revolutionised the economy of our Eastern empire, unsettled wages and the price of commodities, pro duced two great panics in Bombay, and built up a precarious and unstable trade. The return of the cotton trade to its old channel should be hailed by the Anglo-Saxon race, both here and on the other side of the Atlantic, as almost an unmixed good. The staple of the Southern States is paid for by English manufactures. It gives rise to an exchange profitable alike to the agriculture, labour, and skill of both countries. Cotton from America means a good material for our looms, in creased trade, and cheap money. Cotton from India means a bad material, dear money, and violent fluctuations. We hair° no wish to see a monopoly in the hands of any nation ; but if there must be a monopoly, it would be better that it benefited directly the two sections of our race where it pro- duces so profitable an exchange ; and on the whole is attended with fewer dangers of a disas- ,rous disturbance. Though our Indian Empire would undoubtedly be benefited if the trade which has grown up could be made permanent, yet we cannot see that it would be for the good of this country to maintain that trade at so frightful a cost. However admirable a being may be the " gentle Hindoo," we would rather that the Southern States of Ame- rica should grow in material prosperity and bloom with cultivation, than that the followers of Bramah should bury our money in earthen jars, or string it in bracelets around the arms and ankles of their women and children ; while here, in London, sound banking institutions Ahould go down with a crash, and commercial firms, with assets in excess of their liabilities, should break for lack of the ordinary accommodation which such institutions when sound should always bo able to commana.—Anglo-Ameri can limes. Railway and Other Companies. NORTH BRITISH. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held at Edinburgh on Friday to consider 19 bills now before Par liament. Mr. Hodgson presided. The CHAIRMAN said they would know by the end of the year whether the experimental pier off the Forth-bridge would succeed. He was sanguine that the Forth-bridge would be prosecuted to a successful issue.

The following bills were read a third time and passed : Amicable Life Assurance Society, Eastern Bengal Rail way Company, East Norfolk Railway, and Glasgow and South-Western Railway (Additional Powers). BLACKWATER (YOUGHAL) WOODEN BRIDGE BILL. A short discussion ensued on the question for the con sideration of the report of this bill. Mr. CHILDERS objected to the bill, as it was introduced as a private bill, although public money was affected to the amount of £20,000. No notice had been given to the Government that such a course was to be pursued, and, therefore, he moved that the report be considered that day six months. The debate was altimately adjourned until Thursday next. SUPPLY. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. CHILDERS, as it had been intimated by tho Chan cellor of the Exchequer last night that no Government business would be proceeded with at the morning sitting, moved that tho house go into supply to-morrow (Wed nesday). The motion was agreed to, and the sitting was sus pended until six o'clock, when it is anticipates that the Chanceller of the Exchequer will announce the course the Government intend to take in consequence of the house accepting the amendment of Lord Dunkellin. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement will appear in our late edition. Boat Accident and Loss of Three Lives at Weymouth.

They contained very plain directions as to the proper treatment of persons who had been drowned, so as to restore animation. There was one very favourite and popular idea amongst a large class of persons, that if by any chance a man WAS drowned he ought to be held head downward in order that the water might run out of him ; experience, however, had shown that this mode of treatment was most certain to produce death, if the drowning was not absolute before. o f these rules could be obtained by applioa. ti on Copies o t he u ror stated dr that tarttehe clergyman of the parish r.
