These were cross summonses, in which a father sued his daughter for £2 money lent, and the daughter sued her father for the value of a ring which she alleged he detained. The daughter said that she had lived with hoz father until recently, when he ; being a widower, went and got married. Of course she could not put up with that, and she left the house. She had worn the ring at a raffle, and she objected to her mother-in-laW wearing it. The father said ho handed his daughter the ticket for the raffle, and she drew for him, as he was very unlucky. The ring belonged to him. Since his daughter had left his house ho had lent her £2. The daughter—He did not lend me the money. lie gave me the money for my support. His Honour said he should nonsuit the parties in both cases. It was a question of oath against oath, and he thought it all arose out of a family quarrel. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREEY EXTRAORDINARY AND DOUBTFUL CHARGE.—Francisco do Caplain, a well• dressed foreign seaman, who gave the address Sabloniere Hotel, Leicester-square, and Johnson's Coffee-house, Ratcliffe-highway, was charged I)efore Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : . John Smith, a private of the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, said that last night, about nine o'clock, he was in the New Inn, Edgware-road, when the prisoner came in and spoke to him about some of the men in his battalion. He asked the prisoner to drink, and the prisoner asked him. Shortly after the prisoner said that as he was going to Sloane-street, and it was in the swine direction he (pro secutor) was going, he would walk across Hyde-park with him. They went into the park together, and when they had got about half way across the prisoner asked him to sit down,' aid then he struck him in the face. As the prisoner promised not to repeat his conduct he went on with him till they got to the Gun publichouse in Knights bridge, where the prisoner paid for some beer. He told the prisoner that he should like some tobacco, and the pri soner paid for some and afterwards for some more beer, and as they were going along near Lowndes-square the prisoner again assaulted him. He then seized the prisoner, and hold him till a man came up. The man asked him what was the matter, and on his telling him the man said ho was a police officer, and took the prisoner into custody. The, prisoner said that he spoke to the soldier in the publichouse as he know some of the men in his battalion, and afterwards paid for some ale and tobacco for the sol dier. Ile walked across the park with him, andwhen they got near a square (Lowndes-square) the soldier said he wanted money to get beer in the morning. He gave the soldier some, but because he did not give him enough ho threw it into the road, and said he would give him in charge for assaulting him. He positively denied doing anything of the kind. WHlenzie, 66 B, said, that seeing the soldier and prisoner struggling together he went up and the soldier gave him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner said, "If I had committed such an act why did you afterwards con tinue so long in my company ?" and the soldier made no reply. The prisoner said the soldier had demanded money of him, the and soldier said " Yos, and you gave me 2d. and I threw it in the road." He found on the prisoner the soldier's address, and on the soldier the prisoner's address. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner, who reserved his defence, for trial. THAMES DARING ITIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Thomas Higgins and John Smith, who were stated to be Yankee Irish seamen, and to have lately arrived in the port of London from New York, were brought up on remand be fore Mr. Partridge, charged with highway robbery, accom panied with brutal violence. On Monday night last, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a sea man, named Michael Magennis, whose ship went down to Shields on Tuesday morning, was entering a coffee-shop in Ratcliffe-highway for tho purposo of seeking a lodging, when the prisoners accosted him and said they would find him a place to get some thing to eat and to sleep in. He joined their company, and they took him "round the corner" to a very secluded place where they were joined bylbree other Yankee Irish. The prisoners grasped Magennis by the throat and nearly strangled him, while the others " booted him" and struck him with their fists. His trowsers pocket was torn out, It contained a purse with 3s. in money. Directly the pocket was torn out the prisoners and their companions ran away. As soon as Magennis recovered his breath ho called out murder and police. William Ambridge, a police-constable, No. 192 H., saw the prisoners run away, pursued them, and, with the aid of others arrested Smith, who dropped the prosecutor's purse and money: The same constable afterwards took Higgins into custody, close to the place where the robbery was com mitted. Neither of the prisoners made any explanation or defence, and they wers clearly identified. Mr. Partridge said he had remanded tho prisoners to give the police an opportunity of apprehending the other men concerned in a very savage outrago and robbery. He asked if the prisoners' confederates bad been traced ? Ambridge—No, sir; I have not been able to trace them. Mr. Partridge—l am sorry they are not in custody. The prisGners are committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court for highway robbery with violence. WESTMINSTER. TEE WAY CRIME IS ESCOURAGED.—Anne Pears°, a young woman of the town, was charged with stealing a gold Albert chain fiom the person. William Maitland, a carpenter, of 12, Cornwall-street, Fulham, said that at half-past 12 that morning he was returning home near Buckingham Palace, slightly ine briated, and met the prisoner, who accosted and walked some distance with him. He found all on a sudden that his watch chain was gone, and gave prisoner into custody. It was found on her. Charles Farwell, 521 A, said he was on Constitution hill that morning, and the prosecutor gave prisoner into custody. When he went to take the prisoner the chain was in her pocket, and she threw it on the pavement. Ho took her to the station. The prosecutor had his watch in his pocket, and said the prisoner took that also, but when asked for it she throw it on the pavement, and he picked it up. Prisoner denied the statement of the constable ; said the prosecutor had dropped the watch and chain, and she picked them up only returning the watch. This the prosecutor denied. Prisoner then said sho was ashamed to say how he came by the chain, Mr. Safe cautioned her as to her future conduct, and, after telling her sho would get in trouble next time, dis charged her. MARKETS.—This Day. MARIi LANL. The market to-day was fairly supplied with new Eng lish wheat, in generally speaking, good condition. The trade was quiet, and all qualities changed slowly at Mon day's decline in the quotations. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the strnds. The transactions were chiefly in retail, whilst the prices realised were about equal to those current at the close of Monday's market. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at about late rates. Barley, although in but moderate supply, commanded but little attention ; nevertheless, no change took place in the currencies. In malt very little business was passing, at about sta tionary prices. Large supplies of oats were on :sale. Five parcels were disposed of at full quotations; otherwise, the trade was dull on rather easier terms. Beans and peas met a slow sale at drooping prices. Tho flour trade was quiet at late rates.

WIVES FOR FRENCH CONVICTS.—A litter from Toulon says :—" A cellular van arrived hero a few days ago containing 12 tall fine young girls from 18 to 25 years of age, coming from the central house or penitentiary at Cleimont, Oise. About 60 more girls are expected, and are to be shipped on board the Ceres for Cayenne, which it is now proposed to populate in a practical manner. Those young girls—amongst whom is one who is a remarkable beauty— are destined to contract legit;.ma!e unions with thof.e of the condemned in the penal colony who have dis tinguished themselves by their work and their good con duet. Each couple will receive concession of a plot of land end the necessary advances to open agricultural establishments." GARIBALDI'S VOLUNTEERS.—The losses suffered by the Garibaldian Volunteers during the campaign in the Tyrol are stated at 3,900 killed and wounded, and 1,111 prisoners. Gz - eat Westein Railway. MEE PING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this com pany was held to-day at the Railway Station, Paddington —Mr. C. A. Wood, deputy chairman, presiding. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that her Majesty had congratulated the country on a great event of national importance. Her Majesty had, with much taste, addressed the President of the United States, the subject of that address having for its object the completion of the telegraphic connection of the Old and Now World by telegraphic communication. (Hear, hear.) They had lent their chairman (Mr. Gooch) to the Great Eastern Steam Company, which was the reason of his inability to attend the present meeting.. Mr. Gooch had received so much kindness and consideration from the directors generally that he came to the resolution of not going on the board of the company in question, but to de vote himself entirely to the interests of the Great Western. But it was considered that it was rendered necessary that ho should superintend the vessel across the Atlantic, and the shareholders of the present company had consented to his accepting the important duty on board the great vessel. Very shortly before the sailing of the vessel the chairman of this company entered upon his duties. He had to state that indulgence of the share holders would, he trusted, bo extended towards him (the deputy chairman), for there would be an increase in the expenditure and a decrease in the dividend. However, in accordance with the recommendation of their late chair man, Mr. Potter, they laid out a large sum in increasing the quantity of their railway stock in order to carry out their policy. It was indispensable they should carry out their policy of the extension of their stock as their increased expenditure was very largely increased. In July, 1865, £3,113,000 the company received on account of revenue, and there was an expenditure of £1,786,000 ; but in July, 1866, there was £3,619,000, and there was an expenditure of £2,176,000. It was necessary that there should be a large amount of heavy expenditure, in order to carry out the suggestions of Mr. Potter. He referred to the London and North-Western Railway, which he said was ono of the best managed railway companies, and the chairman of that company, Mr. Moon, was most indefa tigable in promoting the interest of that company. However, that company had expended lid. per mile, while the Great Western Railway had expended only -td per mile, which contrasted more favourably with the London and North-Western Railway. Having adverted to the proceedings before Parliament during the past Ses sion, ho went in detail through the different items in the report, and contended that the state of the company's affairs indicated a very favourable condition, notwith standing that the dividend for the half-year did not at present exceed more than 2 per cent. per annum. Mr. POTTER seconded the motion, which, after some dis cussion, was agreed to. The meeting was then made special, for the purpose of sanctioning the transfer of some short leases to the com pany, and for other purposes. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. Lord Aberco n on the State of Ireland. Lord Abercorn was presented on Saturday with an ad dress from the Corporation of Dublin, in which various measures were urged for the improvement of Ireland. The following is a report of the main portion of his Excellency's reply :—" The absence of ordinary crime which was so generally noticed at the recent assizes is most gratifying and affords convincing proof of the steady improvement that is taking place among the people. I deeply regret the existence of the formidable conspiracy which in the early part of this year rendered necessary the passing of a bill for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. I rejoice, harever, to think that indications exist that the treasonable movement which has inflicted such incal culable mischief upon Ireland is gradually declining. It has never received countenance or encourage ment from any of the influential classes of the country, and it is satisfactory to know that during the whole time the Fenian Society had been in existence, no man of rank, wealth, position, or public character, has been enrolled amongst its members. Denounced by the ministers of every religious creed, condemned by all men of patriotism and knowledge, supported almost entirely by fu nds contributed in foreign lands, it can only influence those who seek disturbance, riot, and plunder, or those whom ignorance and credulity enable designing and unscrupulous agents by misrepre sentation and falsehood to mislead and betray. That a movement so produced, and so supported, could exist for any length of time was impossible, and it will be a matter of great satisfaction to me if, finding that treasonable prac tices are no longer attempted, I shall not be compelled to exercise those extreme powers which Parliament has placed in the hands of the Government. The topics to which the greater part of your address refers belong to the province of legislation. They have been repeatedly discussed in Parlia ment, and much difference of opinion exists with regard to each and all of them. It will be the duty of myself and col leagues fully to inform ourselves and carefully to deliberate upon those most important subjects, and when the proper time arrives to submit our views to the consideration of the Legislature. The course which the Imperial Parliament has taken with regard to Irish questions during the present generation, the numerous beneficial laws that it has passed, the generosity which in times of distress it has shown in providingfoervitnhceewd b an y t re s a o n f ytheef ourlris rheppreeospelnet,atthiveeaabinilirteygaanrdd earnestness to public affairs, the freedom with which political subjects aro discussed, and the anxious desire expressed by men of all parties to do justice to this country, induce me to believe that measures proposed for the real benefit of Ireland will always receive fro m th e Legislature respectful considera tion,and can sca rce l y fail to be adopted if supported by preponderance of enli g h tened pu bli c op i n i on i n t hi s na a tion at large. I can assure you that there exists amongst n e o ;c o l s e fortunate shall leave an t y h m e e e a ff s e u crte of that securing they her Majesty's p resen t advisers the most earnest desire to promote the welf are o f Ireland, and they will consider themselves to propose to it possible the tenant compensation for bona fide improvements with out infringing on the right of property, of encouraging manufacturing, railway, or commercial enterprise, of allay ing or softening sectarian differences, and of more fully ex tending to all classes the inestimable blessings of education. Trade with the Shans, Western Chinese, Laotians, &c. Referring to the notice in bur issue of the 14th inst., of the renewed efforts being made by the principal comrner taondtaaks3sotchilletinoneeseosfsathrye k m in e g a d su o r m es to to b o cn e g n t u h p o e G it o ti Ve nh rn a m m e b t e it rn commerce with the above populous and productive por tions of interior "As;a beyond the Car, - ;e^," by tramway Loin Rangoon, we stated that the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce had recently sent up to her Majesty's Minis ters their four:l, and the Liverpool East India and China Association their fifth, memorial, in earnest advo cacy of the Aliticeful project. We also then published, in ex:emo, the third memcrial to Government on the same sabjec:: of the Iluedersfield Chamber, and ex pressed the hope that such reiterated app3als from the commercial community of the county would receive that attention from the new Government which the late Ad ministration failed to extend to it. With much satisfaction, therefore, we now state that the Manchester Chamber has since forwarded to the Er.rly of Derby, as the First Lord of the Treasury, a no less ene:•getic appeal (its third also) in favour of this long-desired new Eastern trade; and that the Halifax Chamber has passed a resolution pressing the pro ject on the earnest consideration of Ministers. We hope that the other chambers throughout the United Kingdom who addressed the late Government in 1860 and 1863 in favour of the scheme, as well as those which may not have yet shown an active iaterest in the matter, will follow the example thus again s't by the chambers above named, and secure to t h emse l ve s the future sat;s:.acti°ll of havi ng done their part in assisting the ultimat e realisatio n of prove an enduring benefit to t he manufacturers, merchants, what ing cannot fail to p and ecl nh nw racie— Penwtnelsofmtuhset conntry gene ra ll y. This—the pro osprove, both as regards the opening up of new fie:ds, wherefrom to draw largo supplies of various prcducts in which the countries in question abound, and which aro daily becoming more and more necessary to this county, including cotton, sill- dyes, gums, oils, wax, tea, gold, ever, &c., and in which to dispose largely, in ex change for such products, of British goods of various de grrce7ll 3toi,n particular. Not owing to their in any of those have yet fo und their way to the multitudinous s c rpi i o populationsns— c o o f t the andwoollen countries land positions, and to the fact that until we took from the King of Ava, in 1 852 , th e me-itime provinces of Pegu and Martaban, on the east side of the Bay of Benga', no route was available to England by which her merchants, or those of India, could approach the large and populous poraon of Asia situated to the north-east of those new British pro vinces. The renewed submission of the project to Govern ment notice by such influential bodies as the chambers of commerce now taking actin a in the matter— on the autho ritative information of late received from India —i` pro perly supported by other chambers, cannot fail, we think, when Parliament again meets, to ensure a careful conside ration of the whole subject.

At the half-yearly meeting of the General Steam Navigation Company, a dividend of 14s. per share was declared, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. TUNBRIDGE RACES-TUESDAY.

The business done in this description of yarns has been chiefly for China, and no doubt buyers have been induced to operate rather freely by a slight concession wFch sellers ha . ve been willing to make in prices. Some of the German houses have operated pretty freely ; and some fair orders in extent have also been given out in the descriptions of twist required for the markets of the Mediterranean, at fu'l prices. The market closes better than it has done for some time past, and the improvement is attributable mainly to tie prospLct of cheaper money than we have had for some time past. The home-trade yarn market is rather sluggish, but a moderate amount of business has been donequ!etly here and there, where spinners have ben waling to accept rather easier rates. In cloth there has been a more general inqp:ry, which has served slightly to strengthen, but in no way to improve, quotations. Offers are more freely made, and altogether there is more disposition to purchase in some cases in large quantities, but the majority of such offers are exceedingly low, and fall short of what manufacturers in the present state of the cotton and yarn market can afford to accept. There has consequently been but little bus;ness to-day, though the amount has been somewhat greater than at any time since last Tuesday. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market to-day Our market has been quite stagnant during the week, and buyers almost unanimous in abstaining from opera tions. A somewhat improved inquiry has to-day imparted more filamess to prices, but the offers mule have been for the most part too low to lead to much business." CARDIFF, 27th.—The ironworks of the ilistrict are in some cases only partially employed, but there is a general feeling of confidence. A slight im provement, but not to any material extent, has taken place in the receipt oNforeign orders, and wb;le contracts are looked forward to from America and the markets of northern and southern Europe, another large order is in the market from the East. The animation which has shown itself in home trans actions continues, and many specifications arc ex pected to be placed before long. There is a better inquiry for pig-iron, but not of such a character as to affect prices. For tin plates there is a fair sale at current quotations. The steam coal trade con tinue' brisk, the foreign and inland demand being good. In house coal no alteration has taken place in local consumption, but larger quantities are shipped coastwise. LEEDS, 28th.—The cloth halls this morning have been well attended, and the business which has taken place quite confirms the position which we reported the trade to have taken last week. The demand has been fully equal to an ave:age, espe cially for tweeds. These cloths, in a" the variety of shade which at present are in favour, have been called for very extensively. There is a weaker de mand for meltons to-day, but such as browns and mulberry were more particularly favoured. There was, generally speaking, a fair inquiry for hairlists. In other branches of the white lace department there was not so much doing as on Saturday. A strong feature of to-day's proceedings was that manufac turers are not disposed to abandon any of the firm ness which they have lately assumed in the matter of quotations. NOTTINGHAM, 28th.— There was a very limited attendance at our Exchange-hall to-day, and a yelp small share of business was done in lace yarns at about late rates. In hosiery yarns not much alte ration. For brown nets the:.o was a rather better demand, aid late rates were fully maintained. ROCHDALE, 27th.—The demands for the autumn trade are having a very good effect upon the general state of this market. It is a long while since there was so much buoyancy as to-day. The attendance of buyers was not so hrge as is sometimes the case what things are at the best, but a considerable 'quantity of orders were given out. The probable run of the fancy and printed goods department is :'kely to be equal to anything which we have had occasion to note for some time past. Even already stocks of piece-goods, which had been accumulating a long while, have dee"ned rapidly. The demand for Yorkshire goods is very little better than it has been for a long time past. Though it is the time of year when some symptoms of revival should have shown themselves, scarcely any have yet appeared. The business done in wool is now fully equal to a good average, and prices are well maintained, I though there is no likelihood of an advance. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—Thjs Day, BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
