MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Mark e t con ti nues t o_ show increased quietude, arising principally from the idea that lower rates must soon prevail, as the difference on the side of supply to that of demand is excessive. The brokers are waiting to learn the result of the weekly Court of Bank Directors to-morrow, but should no alteration be made in the official mini mum, it is not thought likely that the rate in the open market can be long kept at its present figure. The quotation now for the negotiation of the best paper ranges from 4k per cent., which is about per cent. lower than the official rate. The Stock Exchange markets present a rather depressed aspect, consequent upon the want of con fidence felt with respect to railway enterprise. The disclosures in the report of the committee of inves tigation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany, and the intimation made at the meeting of the Great Eastern Railway that some three or four million would be required to complete the exten sions, have occasioned great distrust in the mind of the public. The Funds remain steady., and Consols are 89* a for money, and 89* for the account; but all descriptions of shares are lower. Application has been made to the Vice-Chancellor Stuart in the matter of the Albion Bank for time to answer a bill filed by a contributory to set aside a call, the first portion of which is about to be paid, and three weeks were given. In the matter of the Asiatic Banking Company permission has been granted to appoint Mr. Fredk. William Lawrence, acting manager of the com pany, and Mr. Turquand, accountant, provisional liquidators. Gold amounting to £34,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 90c. Very flat. In the English Stock Market quotations have generally been well sustained, and this is the only department where the public appear to have im plicit confidence. All other descriptions of securi ties, especially railway and finance, are for the moment in disfavour, and prices are generally lower. Consols continue at 894 a for money, and at 891 f for the account. The New Threes are 87 1, and the Reduced Annuities, 87 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 104+ 105 ; and do.

Business in the Railway Share Market has re mained rather quiet, but in a few instances prices have shown some rather important changes. Great Eastern have declined £llos., and Great Western, Midland, and South Eastern each ss. ; while Lon don, Chatham, and Dover have advanced 10s., and Great Northern, do. A Stock, and North Western, each 55., and Brighton, 108. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little variation. Bahia and San Francisco are dealt in at 121, being a shade flatter, and South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are at 161 ; East Indian are marked 103 ; and Great Indian Peninsula have declined to 1061 i• Bank and Mi sce l laneous Shares are in very limited demand, but generally show more firmness. Chartered Mercantile of India, London, and China have declined to 36 ; London and Westminster im at Proved 1 to 92 1 ; Oriental Bank Corporation are T 8 ele and Alliance at 194.

Tim GREAT SILK ROBBERY.—Abraham Marks was placed at the bar onmand, charged with stealing a; large quantity of silk of the value of £BOO. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pierce attended on the part of the assignees of Sharp, from whom the silk had been stolen. Rosa Wright, a domestic servant in tho service of Mr. Marks, the prisoner's uncle, said she recollected the night before the robbery her sweetheart came to see her She had known him over twelve months, and he resided in Tenter-street, Whitechapel. She never gave him the key of the area gate, and when he entered the house that even ing he came down the area steps as the painter was just leaving work. Her sweetheart left about half-past nine, and she let him out at the front door. She was up at one o'clock on the morning of the robbery, and did not go to rest until all had gone to bed. A Mrs. Dodsword was at the house also, but her sweetheart was not there during that time. Ho left a long time before he went away. Mr. Vaughan asked who locked the area gate on the evening previous to the discovery of the robbery. The witness said the painter did so, and afterwards gave her the key. She was quite sure that that was so. Mr. Lewis said he would undertake that the young man should be in attendance at the next examination, and there fore he should now ask for a remand for that purpose. Mr. Pierce asked that the prisoner might be admitted to bail. Mr. Lewis said he objected to the application when it was first mentioned, and now he had still stronger reasons for doing so. Mr. Vaughan said he could not accept bail for the pri soner's appearance, and as it was intimated that further time was required, he would remand the prisoner for a week. MARLBOROITGII-S TREET . A CRUEL OesE.—Elizabeth Lacy, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch of the value of £9, the property of Mr. Bachelor Myles, book seller, of No. 38, Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road. On the young woman being placed at the bar, Sergeant Burroughes, of the E division, said the person who gave the young woman into custody was not present. He charged her with stealing his watch, and subsequently at tended at the station and said he had found it, and bailed her out. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, who attended for the young woman, said it was a very czuel case. The person charging the young woman had taken her to his house, and after stay ing there a short time he charged her with stealing his watch. About four hours afterwards he went to the sta tion and stated that he had found that his watch had been taken from him by two of his friends for a lark, and he then bailed the young woman. Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged the young woman, stating that she had been cruelly treated. ROBBERY IN THE HAYMARKET.—HeIena Blighton, a young unfortunate, was charged with stealing the breast pin of Mr. Frederick St. Clair, of 4, Russell-place, Fitzroy square. The prosecutor was walking with two or three friends through the Haymarket last night when the prisoner placed herself in front of him, and directly afterwards ho felt a touch on his breast and missed his pin, of the value of £3 10s. He gave the prisoner in charge, and the pin was afterwards picked up by a basket woman in the Haymarket and handed to I,awrence Poole, 305 A. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A PAWNBROKER'S ASSISTANT. - James Collins, a young man, was brought up on remand before withstealing2Oandagoldlock neit, their. P property charge d ttyofh master, Mr. Tarrant, a pawnbroker,i s Label-street s Whitechapel Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the pro secution. Tho prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Tar rant for three months, and in the course of time money had been repeatedly missed. A few days ago the prosecutor received information that the prisoner had given notice to the post-master at the Post-office savings bank in Leman street, Whitechapel, to withdraw £2O which he had in vested there, and said to the prisoner, " The money you have put into the savings bank is mine." The prisoner said "No; £5 of it is mine, the remainder is yours." Dunaway, an intelligent detective, No. 11 H, arrested the prisoner, and waited on the post-master, who, in accord ance with the Government Savings' Bank regulations, re fused to give information of the investments of depositors, and asked for a summons to compel the post-master to give evidence on oath and assist the interests of justice. At the station-house the prisoner sent for Dunaway, and then ad mitted that all the money in the Savings Bank was Mr. Tarrant's, and had been stolen. On searching the pri soner's box a gold locket was found by Dunaway. This had'been offered in pawn by a woman in Mr. Tarrant's shop, and a suspicion having arisen that it was stolen, it was detained and deposited in a drawer, and a ticket attached to it. There was an in scription on the ticket, which stated that the ticket was offered in pawn by Mrs. Chapman on the 9th of July and stopped. It was found the prisoner had stolen other property, which had not been traced. Witnesses were called to verify the statement made by Mr. Charles Young, and William Slater, of Pimlico, for merly in the service of Mr. Tarrant, said that he had seen the prisoner wearing the locket. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, cross-examined the wit nesses, and set up a defence as regarded the locket that it was given him by a man named Thomas, in Mr. Tarrant's employ. Mr. Charles Young said no ono had authority to givo away property in Mr. Tarrant's possession, and asked for another remand to enable him to obtain the testimony of the postmaster who had received the deposits of money from the prisoner. The postmaster was bound to with hold all information relating to deposits except on oath in a court of justice, when any person was charged with robbery or fraud. Mr. Paget acceded to the application made by Mr. Charles Young, and granted a summons for the attendance of the postmaster. He remanded the prisoner for a week. How COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS ARE CAUSED.— Josper Brock, a miner, for 13 years employed in a colliery at Fieldhouse, near Huddersfield, belonging to Mr. E. Brooke, was charged on Saturday with having unscrewed the top of his safety lamp and worked in the pit with a naked light, contrary to the regulations of the colliery. He pleaded guilty. It appeared that he was working in the pit:within 10 yards of a place which was considered dan gerous on account of the gas, and where the ordinary dan ger signals were placed, and he unfastened the top of his safety lamp and worked with a naked light, although there were in the pit at the time no fewer than 67 men and boys, whoso lives he thus placed iu jeopardy. A short time ago some colliers from the same pit wore fined for a similar offence; but now, at the request of Mr. Dransfield, who prosecuted, the bench sentenced the defendant to one months' imprisonment without the option of paying a fine, and observed that a repetition of the offence would lead to the offender being sent to prison for three months. NORTII ESSEX REVISION.—The • revision of the lists by Mr. S. C. C. Fish, revising barrister, commenced at Saffron Walden on the 20th ult., and closed at Witham, on the 2d inst. The Liberals were represented by Mr. T. N. Roberts, of 5, Queen-square, Westminster, secretary to the Liberal Registration Association.

Liberals struck off old register, 167 ; Tories ditto, 151-16 Tory gain on objections. Net Liberal gain, 48. Numerically the new register will be 220 more than the existing one, but tho voting power will be 239 greater, there having been 90 duplicates expunged, sucl 71. ad mitted, THE SUN, LONIJOIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1860.

MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this com pany was held at the London Tavern to-day ; Mr. Alder man Dakin, in the chair. The report and statement of accounts, already published, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, and the declaration of a dividend of £5 per cent. should be declared free of income-tax, and payable on the 25th of this month in London, said it afforded him, as the organ of the directors, to announce a dividend of 5 per cent., which ho was sure would be gratifying to the shareholders. They had at last some sunshine breaking through the gloom that had-clouded their atmosphere. The accounts varied very little in form from those of preceding half years, so that the shareholders could at once perceive the improvement that had taken place in their property. The receipts had been increased from new shares by £12,960 6s. 3d., and that fact suggested to the directors the policy of meeting the expenditure from that source, and accordingly they adopted that course. The outlay on capital account was somewhat larger for the past half-year, being £55,675 19s. 3d.; but ho thought, when they came to analyse the items of expenditure, they would perceive that the directors had acted wisely in the outlay. They had laid out large sums in new sidings at Hamilton, to accom modate the increased oil business at Bothwell, in rebuild ing new bridges and a station at Toronto, by which latter they drive a large amount of their traffic quite close at hand, instead of being, as previously, a distance from the source. They had a loss from the commission of American funds for the half year of £39,806 7s. 6d., as a sum of £54,937 6s. 7d. as compared with the correspond ing period of 1865. The matter which had been so long in dispute between the company and the Commercial Bank of Canada had not been fully arranged, but all the principal points in dispute had been arranged. The company had suffered severely from the fire which broke out at the ter minus of the Detroit and Milwaukie Railroad, by which a considerable amount of property was destroyed. Precau tions had been adopted to prevent this ocurrence- again, which was caused by petroleum, and the company's pro perty had been insured in some of the principal offices in the United States and in this country. Having referred to the loss which the directors had sustained by the death of Mr. Gilmore, he said that all who were ac quainted with the present state of the line knew that it was working well, and he believed it was one of the most perfect lines in existence. Their line had given satisfac tion to the public, and, what was a matter of importance to them, it had now proved profitable to the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) He adverted next to the Fenian move ment in Canada. The moment the disturbances in connection with this movement wore mooted, their ma nager, Mr. Surniyard, immediately placed all the resources of their line at the disposal of the military, and that gen tleman had received the thanks of the Governor-General. (Hear, hear.) He believed the course pursued by their manager gave satisfaction not only to every shareholder in that room, but to every Englishman in the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HovEs seconded the motion, which, after some dis cussion, was agreed to. Mr. John Fildes, M.P., was elected a director in place of Mr. Gilmore, and the other directors and the auditor were re-elected. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Employment of Women. In connection with the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, in the department for economy and trade, a meeting was held on Friday afternoon, in the Crown Court of the Assize Courts, "for the promotion of the employment of women." The Earl of Shaftesbury pre sided, and the court was crowded, a considerable portion of the audience being ladies. The chairman said their object in meeting was to consider if in any way they could give employment to women who possessed a certain amount of education—not for those who became occupied in mills, or in ordinary service, but those who, having some education, wished to know how they could turn it to account. The path was not altogether a new one, for some successful experiments had already been made. Women had been employed in printing, in bookkeeping, and in telegraph offices. He had seen 400 women employed in one de partment of telegraph despatch, and they were open to a still larger. supply of those who were capable of discharging the duties. Ho had been told that women might be employed in the decoration of dwelling-houses and apartments. Some decorations by women had been shown him, and they were both skilfully and tastefully executed, and he thought that a very suitable branch. There was a very great preponderance of females ; he believed there were from half a million to 600,000 more women than men. Many of those must consequently be shut out from the hopes which women usually enter tained, therefore it became a duty to consider how all this talent could be turned to account. This might apply in some instances to married women, but more particu larly to unmarried women, who; if they were employed, might even earn something towards enabling them to enter the married state. The object was well worthy of attention and support,, and he hoped every man and woman would give attention to the development of a scheme which, if efficiently carried out, would pro mote the welfare and happiness of a large and interesting class of the community. (Applause.) The Rev. S. A. Steinthal spoke of the disadvantage at which women were often placed for want of suitable training. It had been found that they were quite capable of law copying ; that they had done well in photographic establishments ; and that in wood engraving they had been usefully and profitably employed. And not only as trained nurses, but in the higher grades of the profession, there were forms of illness in which women might be valuable practiti oners t o their own sex. In this re spect, however,we wer e more b ac kward in England than they were in some other coun t r i es , as Belgium and Franc©. He thought that even in mill s an d l a rge manufacturing estab lishments, the superintendence of echicated ladies might be most valuable. An experiment of this kind had been tried, and with beneficial resuit. He moved—" That a society be formed in the city of Manchester, similar to the societies in stituted in London and Dublin, for promoting employment of women. The Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, in seconding the motion, said he took up the subject of the Cambridge exa mination of girls, in order to secure for them a fair stan dard of competition. The lady teachers of Manchester did not shrink from it, b u t .ra th er i n vited it, and had formed au association them se l ves . H o wished it was more gene rally known how pri va t e ly an d d e licately the examina tions in the Royal I ns tit u ti on were conducted by Mrs. Bowers, the wife of the dean. The difficulties in the way of marriage w ere cons t an tly increasing' The report of Mr. Horace M ann s h owe d th a t there were 1 , 500 , 000 women between 20 an d 40 years o f age unmarried, while there were also 400,000 b e y on d the age of 40 . The work ing classes were improving their position, and their sons were being educated for the profession, so that young men of the class above them found it more difficult to find em ployment which would enable them to marry. The diffi culties were increased by the higher price of provisions and more costly dress. To provide for the occupation of women was, therefore, becoming every year of greater importance. In all the arts requiring dexterity, neat ness, and patient thought, women, he believed, might be successfully employed. Irrespective of religious deno minations, he thought there was a mission for them in being employed to seek out the destitute ; in watching at the bedsides of the sick ; and in administering to the poor in various ways.—Mr. G. W. Hastings supported the motion. He said he was not afraid of women doing anything they were unfitted for. Failure would soon set them right, as it did men. His opinion was that women should be allowed to do whatever they felt themselves fitted to perform, but they would find it necessary to study and prepare them selves for the work, or they would not succeed.—The Chairman said he must retire, but before doing so would remark, that ho believed one great obstacle to marriage was the intense selfishness of the young men. (Laughter.) young men would A no c t co m r a d rr in y g u t n o le t s h s e t lu h x ey ur o y ou o i f a th e e ns t ur im e es, an equal amount of luxury as they could afford when single.—Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., M.P., spoke of the importance of parents inducing their daughters to study thoroughly some parti cular branch of business, or of art, and moved that a com mittee be appointed consisting of Mrs. R. N. Philips, Mrs. Bird, Mrs. Jevons, Mrs. Herbert Philips, Mr. Steinthall, Re Ur v ..Y s o t u . I v e, in th ee e n V t Dean, Mr. T. Bremner, the eßreyectvy*, tMher.Robert Gladstone, and Mr. J. Duffield, secretary. The Rev. Canon Richson, in seconding the resolution, said there was needed more free trade in labour ; that there were restrictions and prejudices which ought to be removed, so that all could have free scope for their exertions.

The concourse of people assembled on Newmarket Heath to-day was something immense—larger than was ever known on any previous Cesarewitch day. All the ordinary trains running into Newmarket were excessively crowded ; but the railway authorities, anticipating the amount of extra traffic, arranged for the starting of several special trains. As early as 9 o'clock the specials began to arrive from London, Cambridge, and elsewhere, but the largest was that which left London at half-past 7. This offered extra ordinary facilities to pleasure-seekers, inasmuch as for a charge of ss. per head passengers were conveyed from the metropolis to the headquarters of racing, and back at night. As might have been expected, a very large number of people availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded of witnessing the decision of the last but one of the great back-end handicaps. This morning was very fine —more like August than October—and the number of people who flocked to the Heath to see the Cesarewitch competitors canter was very large. Most of the favourites were fancied, and their respective chances eagerly discussed. The various teams of horses brought out for exercise upon the Heath also got a fair share of attention, but the Cesare witch animals were those mostly looked after, and those reputed to have been so highly tried wore minutely watched. A "meeting" took place in front of the rooms before proceeding to the course, and a good deal of specu lation took place, all the favourites being supported for considerable sums. Chepstow was again firm in the quo tations, while Proserpine, Lothario, Regalia, and Lecturer were accredited with legitimate money. The only outsider inquired after was Endsleigh. Place-betting was also in great vogue, Regalia and Lothario being backed for considerable amounts. There was, however, no startling feature in the betting, and, despite the fact that Mr. Graham " declared to win with Regalia," her stable com panion, Chepstow, was backed to win a largo sum. The scene made up of broughams and carriages, ladies 'and gentlemen on horseback, and thousands upon foot, was a very imposing one. Racing commenced at 12.10 with a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, which was won cleverly by Gulnara defeating three others. This was followed by the Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 Boys. each, for which 11 of the 13 coloured went to the post. Lord Bateman's horse, Moulsey, won easily, but ho was not backed for much money, the " t alen t " believing that he could not defeat his former opponent, Ostregor, or concede any weight to the three-year-olds. The Town Plate was lauded by the favourite, Douro. The Royal Stakes—the race before the Cesarewitch—only induced three to go to the post, and it proved the good thing it looked for Westwick, who defeated Jack-in-the-Green easily. Twenty-five jockeys were weighed out for the great race of the day—the Cesarewitch —and while the horses were cantering to the post some of them were very heavily backed. Proserpine was installed first favourite, as little as 100 to 30 being accepted about her. Chepstow was in demand at 100 to 15, while Lec turer was backed at the last moment to win thousands at 9 to 1. Potomac advanced to 20 to 1. The race being fully described below, little is necessary by way of introductory remarks. The lot were despatched at the first attempt, Caithness making the pace for his stable companion for some distance. The popular colours of Baron Rothschild were carried by Lothario, who was always well in front ; indeed, on approaching the dip, shouts wore raised pro claiming his victory, but in the dip Lecturer (with whom the Marquis of Hastings, it is said, stood to win £100,000) headed the Baron's horse, and won, after a game finish, by half a length from Lothario, who defeated Proserpino a head only for second place. The excitement was some thing immense, and the marquis and marchioness were overwhelmed with congratulations. Hibberd, who steered the game son of Costerdale to victory, also got his share of the ovation. A Selling Race intervened, and then the race for the Clearwell Stakes —which proved to be one of the most exciting races of the day—took place. Nine animals (including Lord Lyon's flying sister Achievement, Plaudit, Pericles, and six others) went to the post. Odds were freely aid on Achievement, but, despite the vigorous riding of Constance, who called resolutely upon the filly at the finish, she was beaten literally in the last stride by a head by Plaudit, who was immediately after wards backed for the Derby. The defeat of the hitherto invincible Achievement created a great sensation on the ,Heath, and formed the most prominent feature of the Cesarewitch-day.

The 25 compe titors were weighed out and cantered to the post at the ap pointed time for the start (2.25), and Mr. M'George suc ceeded in despatching them at the first attempt to an excel lent start. Caithness, after 50 yards of the distance had been traversed, went to the front for the purpose of forcing the pace. He was attended by Medina. The two running to gether, were clear of Lothario, Chepstow, Regalia, Ends leigh, Dubiety, and Jollity. A. few strides behind the lot enumerated were Acteaa, Proserpine, Dulcimer, and Rama, who headed the remainder, running in a cluster, with the exception of Slieve Carne and Philosopher, who acted as " whipper in." Coming through the ditch gap Regalia drew up to the leading division. When fairly through the gap Caithness and Medina gave way, and Regalia was left with a slight lead of Endsleigh,%Dulcitner, Lothario, Lecturer, Actwa, Jollity, and Chepstow. This lot ran in close olr,hoer in front of Rains, Proserpine, Caithness, and Helen. remainder were somewhat scattere d. About a mile from home Endsleigh and Lothario simultaneously hemaderidsitnhe " top weight."

The next lot to disappear from the front were Dulcimer, Jollity, and Endsleigb, the latter of whom ran with exceeding gameness up to the Bushes hill. The race was now loft to Lothario, Proserpina Lec turer, and Adam, and so well was Baron Rothschild's horse going that loud shouts were raised " Lothario wins," and at that time lie )field a perceptible 40, but iA the dip Lec turer, who had been lying almost unobserved on the whip hand of the Baron's horse, rushed to the front, and Hibberd, with great skill and judgment succeeded in landing this game son of Colsterdale a winner by half a length from Lothario, who defeated Proserpina by a neck only for second place. Ralf a length behind Proserpine was Acts& fourth, while a couple of lengths off was Dulcimer fifth ; Endsleigh was sixth, Sealskin seventh, and Helen eighth. Regalia was at the head of another lot, which comprised Jollity, Caithness, and Chepstow, who were pulling up. Half a dozen lengths behind them was Philosopher, Brada mante, Ethelred, and Emigrant, separated by short inter vals. The last lot, widely scattered, were Slieve Carne, Medina, Dubiety, and LaFavorite ; the absolute last being War. Net value of the stakes, £1,545.

(THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. The following animals engaged in the Cambridgeshire Stakes were at exercise early this morning :—Ostregor, Saccharometer, Bromielaw, Sultan, Out and Outer, Master Richard, Godmersham, Brown Bread, Peeress, Vespasian, Peon, Verdant, Bradamante, Nu, Mount Palatine, Robin Hood (by Wild Dayrell), Duke of York, Caithness, Dales man, Claxton,tHolstein, Paris, Comus, The Squire, Dulci mer, Zenobia, Il Re Galantuomo, Lochiel, Pluto, Acton, Queen Mary, Mineral, Lively, Puebla, Jollity, Loaf Sugar Bugler, Chepstow, Medina, Duet, and Proserpine, but as several of these ran in the Cesarewitch Stakes yesterday, they were restricted to gentle work only. Broomielaw and Sacchatometer cantered, but Out-and-Outer galloped over a mile smartly. Master Richard, after leading Vauban and others of John Day's, went a mile and a half gallop by himself. Saladin did a similar distance. Peon and Paris galloped a mile and a quarter. Toma hawk galloped a mile and three quarters, and Am bition nearly as far. We had a splendid lot of two-year-olds working, including Achievement, Plaudit, Marksman, the Palmer, Vauban, Knight of the Garter, Rose, Ines, Photographe, The Rake, Ephyre, Satyr, Dove tail, Friponnier, Chignon, Bounceaway, Midwife, Ben Nevis, Tumbler, Rus in Urbo, Beaucleick, Lady Hester, Caesar, Claymore, Owen Glyndwr, Stolen Kisses, Locha ber, Mavourneen, Pedagogue, The Hermit, Blinkhoolie, Coldstream, La Sorrentina, Ettrick, Barrington, Porter's Knot, Chatsworth, The Jewel, Mochrie, Lord Brownlow, Empress, Kalepyge colt, Pericles, Greenback, Julius, Bombastes, Verdi, Trocadero, Catherine, the Sunflower filly, The Hatter, Pussy, Will Scarlet, Ailesbury, Jauna, Jasper, Hippie, Falkenstein, Ravioli, Rochefort, Chif ney, Seringapatam, Pirate Chief, Fakir, Lady Bugle Eye, Miss Sarah colt, and a heap of others. Most of these can tered freely, and then galloped from half-a-mile to little over a mile. Volunteer was leading the Rake and Friponnier a mile, which distance Split the Difference took Achievement. Plaudit merely cantered, and his com panions, Rose and Chatsworth, went three-quarters of a mile clipping. Mirella led Marksman, the Sunflower filly, the Blanche of Middlebie filly, and Sister to Scottish Chief, a good mile. Friday pioneered Ettrick, Sceur de Charite, and others of Joseph Dawson's, three-quarters of a mile, sharp. The Hermit was working by himself, and looks very big. Knight of the Garter followed Out and Outer a mile. Richard Boyce had Flamingo in nice steady exer cise. Opoponax galloped three-quarters of a mile smartly ; but Bombastes was trotting only. The French-bred Floranthe went a mile uncommonly well. Dunblane galloped with old Saccharometer. Ailesbury was out with the rest of the Duke of Hamilton's horses, and is very much improved. Nimble led the three-year-old Splitvote filly a couple of miles, and the Flutter colt rendered a similar service to Savernake, who looks in beautiful condition.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) SHERIFF OFFICERS' FEES.--FULLPOTT V. SCHULTZ. This was an action brought by a sheriffs' officer to re cover his fees for possession and the costs of an inter pleader application. _ _ Mr. Webster, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that plaintiff levied, by direction of defendant, upon the goods of a person named Stocker, remaining in possession for ten days, but in the meantime a third person claimed the goods. Au interpleader summons was subsequently heard by Lord Chief Baron Kelly and dismissed. Defendant contended that, as nothing had been realised under the levy, and as the interpleader summons had been dismissed, neither fees nor costs could be recovered. Mr. Webster urged that the costs had been incurred through the express orders of defendant, and therefore he must pay. His Honour decided that the plaintiff, having done all he was engaged to do, was entitled to the fees and costs. Verdict for the plaintiff. , WORKMEN'S BEER SCORES.—SkDLER V. DAY. This was an action to recover for refreshments supplied to the defendant. His Honour—What were the refreshments? Plaintiff—Bread, cheese, and beer. Mrs. Day, a very intelligent and respectable looking woman, said that she appeared on behalf of her husband, who had been served with beer when he was drunk. He did not recollect having some of the beer. She had warned the plaintiff time after time not to treat her husband, bid he persisted in giving credit, and the result was that she suffered for it. His Honour—Of course, the wives suffer. Mrs. Day—My husband has lost his work through public-houses and facilities afforded to him by the plaintiff. I have seen the plaintiff servo him with beer after he w as tipsy, and after I had expressely asked him not to do Po. His Honour ---I shall send the case before the magistrates month, at Clerkenwell, and theytwlll know what to d p c• e o r n m li day. Mrs. Day—l wish you would. when n i rss junnosavayoo work, tshhaaent ishas an sg y ib o n u eee r enr h , usubtdaonef can nw? earno seven per w e monthsek the debt at ss. tlinroiusguhopnuobulireLhlloous:u.st pay SADLER V. REYNOLDS. This was a second action by the plaintiff to recover for beer and spirits supplied to defendant. Mrs. Reynolds said that her husband had lost his 4usi ness through drinking. She had paid his scores on former occasions, and she had cautioned plaintiff not to trust him, but the fact was that while men could get drink they did not care who paid. His Honour—l am aware of it. How much of this bill was for spirits? Plain tiff — Three-quarters. His Honour—Then I shall strike that off. A verdict was then entered for the beer alone. Mr. Sadler denied the accuracy of the statements made by Mrs. Day and Mrs. Reynolds. EXCITING FIGHT WITH A FISH.—Mr. J. Crook, of the pleasure boat Preston, accompanied by two young men, were out fishing on Naze Point, on the Ribble, on Thursday last, when their attention was arrested by a vio lent floundering in one of the shallows in the sands, and they at once concluded that a large salmon had been left by the receding tide. On nearing it, what was their astonish ment at finding a huge monster that displayed two for midable rows of teeth, and a tail that bristled all over with spines ! Seeing its visitors, this very strange fish, showed fight at once, and seemed rather anxious to begin. The three set upon it simultaneously with their spiked rakes and stabbed it repeatedly. After an exciting struggle they at length exhausted the creature and transfixed it with their prongs. With great difficulty they at last got it into the boat. Some fishermen who had seen the " light" from a distance now came up, and ono of them informed the vic tors that they had captured a " sharp-nosed" skate, one of the three varieties of that fish. This is the first skate ever known to have been caught in the Ribble. Its length is sft' , b re adth 3ft. 9in., and we i g ht about 601 b. It was brought to Mr. Crooks's, Preston.
