MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL NT BLLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. At the discount office of the Bank of England the applications are rather numerous, but in the open money market the bills negotiated are com paratively few, as the brokers will only take the best description of securities. These, however, are readily accepted at 8 and 9 per cent. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon consisted of an influx of £6,000. The Bank of France return shows an increase of £576,000 in the bullion, but there bas also been an augmentation of £104,000 in the notes in circulation, and £28,000 in the advances on stock, &c. The commercial bills discounted have fallen off £392,000 and the current accounts £48,000. During the last few days business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets has continued very dull. At the public sales of tea, however, prices generally have been well maintainel. Sugar has been at steady prices, while in coffee, rice, fruit, and spices there has been little change of importance to report. Tallow has been in better demand, and prices for both present and forward delivery show an upward tendency. The Bank of England return is favourable; but the position of the establishment is notwithstanding not strong.

According to Reuter's telegrams this morning, the French Rentes were 62f. 75c. Firm. This improvement is mainly attributable to pur chases in realigation of profits on " Bear" accounts. The quietude of business of all descriptions and the consequent adea that the culminating point of de pression has passed also exerts a beneficial in fluence. A co mparison of the prices of Conso ls show a decline for the week, Friday to Friday, of f per cent, but to-day there has been a slight reactionary tendency, the latest prices being 1 per cent. higher, viz., 851 86 for money, and 861 for the account.

HALES T. COLEXAN AND OTHERS. Mr. D. Kean, Q.C., and Mr. B. Rigby appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., and another learned gentleman for the defendants. The plaintiff, John Hales, is a solicitor, and the defen dants, George Coleman and Maurice Abrahams, are in business in London, and the third defendant, Mr. Edward Lawrence Levy, is a solicitor. The plaintiff sued the de fendants for an act of trover, iu having converted to their own use and wrongfully deprived the plaintiff of the pos session of certain furniture, fittings, and utensils of t►ade, Hof a tavern keeper, for the value of which he claimed £5OO. ('he defendants pleaded not guilty, and the goods were not the prqperty of the plaintiff as alleged. The plaintiff stated that he had advanced money to Jackson last. year, for which he received, as security, a bill of Sale on the goods in question. However, he discovered that it had been seized by another person at the house of Jackson, in Rupert-street, Haymarket, and when he re monstrated with Levy, who was the solicitor of Jackson, he was threatened with criminal proceedings for making a false demand, and the party whom he placed in posses sion was forcibly ejected from the house by Coleman, and was, in fact, mobbed by all three defendants. The jury were locked up, and had not delivered a ver dict when we went to press. Ritualism in the Church, ... --- DEPUTATIONS TO THE ARCHBISHOPS OF CANTERBURY AND YORK. Yesterday deputations of lay and clerical mem bers of the Church waited upon the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, on the subject of cer tain innovations in the ritual, of the Church. That to the Archbishop of the northern province ism ushered into the presence of his grace, at the Bounty-office, Dean's-yard, Westminster, at a quarter to one o'clock. It numbered nearly 100 persons, and included the following :—Rev. Frede rick Chalmers, Dr. Jardine, Rev. D. Vetch, Mr. A. Bonar, Colonel Elphinstone, Mr. W. Delpratt, Mr. Hawkesworth, Rev. U. Davies, Rev. W. Conway, Mr. G. A. Allan, Mr. Cressingham, Mr. J. D. Hay ton, Mr. H. Wright, the Dean of Derry, Major- General Mithall, Rev. W. Powell, Rev. E Wilmot, Marquis of Westmeath, Captain Hull, Lieutenant- Colonel Reynold, Mr. William Evill, junior, Rev. W. Conway, Mr. R. S. Faulconer, Rev. S. C. Adam, Mr. 11. Hill, Rev. J. M. Ward, hey. E. Clay, Rev. R. 11. Killick, M.A., rector of St. Clement's Danes ; Major-General Nuttall, Dr. James, the Rev. Thos. Ja k es; KA, vic ar o f Chevening ; the Rev. W. D. Al Vested, ----A., incumbent of St. Sav iour ' s, Pad dington ; the Rev. J. S. Jenkinson, M.A., vicar of Battersea ; Captain Hill, the Rev. W. Pennefather, M.A., incumbent of St. Jude's, Islington, and about a hundred other gentlemen. Mr. COLQUHOUN read an address to his Grace, which he said was signed by 2,499 clergymen, 3,010 churchwardens, and other laymen. Several other memorials were presented, signed by 24 clergy and 1,815 laymen. Ile said the deputation did not understand the memorialists to ask for any restric tion in the constitutional liberty and diversity of sen timent which ..rere wisely permitted within the National Church. Accepting the Liturgy as it stood, the memorialists had to complain of an unconstitutional departure from the orders of the Church, unsanctioned by authority. They complained of communion-tables superseded by altars covered with drapery and strange ornaments, accompanied by illegal lights, incense, and genu flexions, processions with banners, priestly vest ments, being exact copies of those of the Church of Rome, and novel prayers interpolated in the services, all of which they considered to be out ward signs of a violent change. After advert ing at some length to the doctrines supposed to be involved in these new practices, the memorial proceeded to say that it would be a mistake to suppose that the party within the Church, now united to undo the work of the Reformation, were either small in number or influ ence, or that they were to be restrained by authority or persuasion. Within the metropolis episcopal authority had been exercised in reference to the matter, both by the late and the present Bishop of London, but their efforts to restrain the practices complained of bad been of no avail. The council of the English Church Union, now the acknowledged head of the new party, had within the last few days announced the policy which they intended hereafter to pursue. They made no secret of their deter mination resolutely to oppose oven a bishop if he should commit an unjust aggression on any person in spiritual matters, and that they should regard as an unjust aggression every attempt to restrain a clergyman from those peculiar practices and doctrines which were repudiated by the Church of England at the Reformation. That such practices should have been declared illegal as soon as they were examined could excite no surprise, for if they were legal the Reformation of the Church would have no existence, and the history of the last 300 years would have been a delusion. The memorialists in conclusion prayed that steps might be taken to maintain intact the integrity of the Church. Mr. LEFROY, M.P., presented a vast number of memorials, which, with those presented by Mr. Colquhoun, made the totttl number of signatures 57,383. Mr. COLCItHUN said that, judging from a meeting of the English Church Union held a few days ago it was idle to suppose that anything would come from kindness, and he must venture, on behalf of the deputation present, as well as on behalf of large bodies of people out of doors, to ex press their opinion that the.present was a great crisis in the history of the English Church. He believed that the Church of England was strongly rooted in the confidence of the people, and would continue to be so as long as she remained faithful to primitive order and to apostolical truth. T he Archbishop of CANTERBURY would merely say, before they parted, that he was deeply sensible of thecritical posi tion of the Church, and no one could be more earnestly de sirous of adopting such measures as would effectually check and suppress the movement complained of. It had been suggested that legislative measures should be taken. That was a grave question, and it was not for him to commit, himself at present to any particular plan, but his heart was entirely with the deputation in the desire to maintain in their integrity the doctrines of the Church. The deputation then retired. DEPUTATION TO TUN ARCHBISHOP OP YORK. The Archbishop of York received the deputation iu Queen Anne's Bounty Offica, Dean's-yard, Westminster tho members of which were pretty nearly the same as in the other case. The Archbishop of York wore his full episcopal robes. The Archbishop of Canterbury was in plain attire. Mr. Colquhoun presented to his Grace a memorial, signed. by 2,124 clergyman and 2,610 churchwardens; also four other memorials signed by 9 clergymen and 299 laymen, Those were independent of other memorials which had been presented to the Archbishop from other sources. The Archbishop of YORK, in acknowledging them, ex pressed a hope that the clergy and laity would strive to obey the law of the Church with alacrity. The practices com plained of had been spoken of as childish and frivolous, but he believed they had been adopted with a deliberate inten tion of affecting the doctrinal position of tbeEnglishChurch. That was not the place for him to give pledges, but he felt quite sure that a remedy would soon be found for the difficulties which were now perplexing the Church. Recent researches in the province of York had shown that there was nothing in the usages of the Church since the early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth to justify the innova tions now being introduced. Mr. CoLQUHOUN thanked his Grace for the courtesy he had extended to the deputation, ant took the opportunity of expressing his doubts as to the expediency of Parlia mentary interference. MARKETS.---This Day. COLONIAL. TEA.—The public sales have continved to proceed with a fair spirit, and prices generally are well maintained. SUGAIL—There has been no public sales during the last few days, but in the private market fully previous quota tions aro current. Refined goods are dull, and without change in value. COFFEE.—A very limited amount of business has been entered into, and only superior qualities have maintained former prices. RICE.—The demand for home consumption has been moderately active, but_ holders still demand full rates, which has in some measure checked operations. TALLOW.—The market has shown symptoms of more activity, and quotations for both present and forward deli very tend upwards. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 455, and last three months' delivery 478 6d to 48s. per cwt. The Stock Exchange Committee held a meeting yesterday afternoon, and have posted the following The committee for g rell en o e l r il a t l io p n ur i p n ose t s he ushahvoingerZved a second memorial with reference to the mode of dealing in bank shares have fully reconsidered the subject. In the opinion of the committee any deviation from the usual practice would seriously obstruct the course of legi timate business, and by rendering bank shares less negociable would be detrimental to the interest of the holders and the public. It is therefore resolved " That no special rules for the settle • ment of bargains in bank shares be adopted." me following resolutions relating to alterations in Rules 98 and 99 have been passed this day, subject to confirmation on the 25th inst. :—Resolved, that Rule 93 stand as follows : Registered shares or stock, if not delivered within seven days, may be bought in against the sell er a t or a f ter 12 o ' c l oc k on the eighth day after the date of the ticket, and all loss incurred thereby shall be borne by him ; but, in case a member shall, without the consent of the buyer, retain a ticket more than two days from the date thereof, the member so retainin it shall bear the loss.' Resolved, th at i n R u l e 99 'The word , fifteen be altered to ten.' " CHAMPAGNE.—Some French statistics give the subjoined details. Thirty million bottles of champagne annually sold are thus distributed : —Africa cowumes but 100,000 of these; Spain and Portugal, 300,000 ; Italy, 400,000; Belgium, 500,000 ; Holland as much ; Germany, 1,500,000; Russia, 2,000,000; Prance, 2,500,000; thirsty England, 5,000m0 ; India, ditto; and North America, 10,000,000 bottles. Those figures refer to the consumption of wino really grown in the champagne countries. . Our National Defences—ls England Safe ? The time has now come when it behoves every English- man to give attentive consideration to the present state of the armaments of his native land. With war declared on the continent of Europe ; with Fenian raids made on a distant continent upon one of our patriotic colonies; with the Russians edging close to our Indian possessions ; with two of our most powerful European allies by this hour in all probability in actual conflict, and with other dark signs of coming events which may prove inimical to the security of this wealthy and happy isle, no forethought, no care, uo skill, no cost or effort should be spared at this momentous period to guard from every ill this " land of the free"— our populous, peaceful, and intellectual country. To con template what would be the effect upon the happiness and civilisation of the world if England were blotted out by a sudden conquest, or should cease in any way to maintain her position as a first-rate power, may well be left, without any effort on our part to portray it, to every ono on his own account, for every one, considering such a catastrophe iu his own way, would increase the strength of his own con • victions by every new thought, by every repeated reflec tion, until the feeling that the barest, the remotest possi bility of such an event should not be suffered to remain in the category of mere possibilities, would attain an intensity which those who have never deeply pondered on this sub ject, or those who have rested in the blind faith of Anglo- Saxon energy and skill, or in the still blinder and more baseless belief in the care and watchfulness of our official government over the security of our national existence, can have no conception of. Nor is such a sudden conquest, or such a depression of the etninenceof a kingdom,.beyond the pale of possible occurrences in modern warfare. We drew no comparison here of our armaments with those of France and other European countries, we purposely avoid it; but we do assort that there are existent the material powers capable of effecting the one or the other, while we, on the other hand, have not, at this moment, nor can we have for months to come—and months in modern wars are eventful periods indeed--the necessary means of prevent ing such destructive attacks as could at once be prepared against us. In the series of articles we purpose putting before our countrymen at this critical juncture of public events sen sationalism of any kind is in the highest degree as foreign to our wishes as it would be inimical to our object. We feel strongly, more strongly even than we like to express, that the consideration of our national defences has been tampered with beyond the endurance of the British na tion, if that nation knew and comprehended the true con dition of our present military and naval power, and thoroughly understood the gross and culpable neglect that there has been of the scientific and mechanical genius of tho country by those to whom during the past few years since the vital change in military and naval armaments has been progressing, the charge of our national defences has been entrusted. It is not too much to say that, so far from our national defences being what they ought to be, they have been trifled with to a perilous degree—we say advisedly perilous degree, because we have neither a ship, a gun, nor a land fort ca pable of resisting such attacking forces as could at this mo ment be brought against us, because neither our biggest nor our thickest ironclad ships, the largest and most formidable of our guns, the strongest of our land batteries, could resist the attacks which at least one country has the means already prepared of making upon them. That the Americans could sink our Northumberlands, Warriors, and Bellerophons, with their Monadnocks, Puritans, and Passaconaways, i s perfectly certain. The treatment the Callao forts gave the Spanish fleet is substantial evidence of this ; and the Numancia, it should be remembered, is a sister ship of our vaunted Northumberland, in armour, size, and guns. It was no idle boast Commodore Rogers made as to what he could do with her. Evon if we might at this timo advantageously compare ,he strength and number of our own warlike engines with _ _ those of the most powerful continental States of Europe, it can hardly be supposed those powers who are already commencing, or those who may hereafter engage in the coming desperate hostilities, if they continue for any length of time, will not emerge from their mortal encounters with armaments of far greater capacity than they as yet possess, and that if the British nation does nothing in the interval to effect and maintain the necessary supre macy of our military and naval arms, we shall find some other country than America, and in close and dangerous proximity, capable of demolishing us at a blow. Suppos e one European ambitious country after a four years' war to come out victorious with such an armament as the United States has at this hour in its arsenals, its harbours, and afloat. Suppose any European country possessed of what the Americans actually have fit for service, 1,500 15-inch guns (440 -pounders), and some hundreds of 20-inch guns (1,080 -pounders). What have we to bring against such a stupendous array of artillery ? Not a single gun of equal calibre—not one efficient 400-pounder, not one of any larger size whatever. Against such terrible weapons we have nothing absolutely, and literally not a single effective gun that mud be even hopefully cipposed. Not one. Big gun after big gun, ordered or made by our Government, either from being wrongly constructed, or worse, being rifled on wrong principles, bursts at the 300th or 400th round ; and .£1,500 after £1,500, and more, is thus time after time reduced to scrap iron for re-smelting, because officialdom—we coin the word to avoid personalities—has put its "foot down" on a wrong principle, and won't take it up again. Just so officialdom erects forts of grauite, which artillerists tell us shiver under shot from modern artillery—not British—like glass, and neglects the iron which even the remote Peruvians had the good sense to select ; just so officialdom builds broadside ships and arms them with little guns, preferring something "tall" to look at to something less magnificent but infinitely more des perate and impenetrable in the fight ; just so, too, official dom prefers to nick and notch, and twist and coil its can non in endless variety of ways, all alike destructive of the resistance and endurance of the metal of which they are made, and involving all the dangers and difficulties of having to convey to battle-fields and forts a dozen sorts of shot and shell for the same sized guns, and none of which will fit any other sort of gun than that for which it was expressly made, and no sort of gun being able to be fired with any other sort of shot than its own. The "muck-muddle" and danger of such a complex confusion in a real campaign can be easily com prehended by any intellect not absolutely obtuse. To contemplate seriously the bare possibility of such an event as the blotting out of England as an independent nation would seem to most like madness, but we say de liberately it ought to be contemplated, For as war goes nowadays, such is the mechanical skill, and so complicated the machinery by which it is effected, and such the amount of time required for the production of the instruments of modern warfare, that the nation which, being attacked, cannot at once effectually resist, may bo quickly beaten back, until the mechanical appliances of its gun factories and dockyards are captured, and then to rally would bo impossible. In every age in all vital national events his tory repeats itself. The brave may sometimes win; the strongest and best armed generally ; the negligent never. England encourages peace and civilisation throughout the world, and there is thus a moral reason beyond the national one why England should be the strongest and foremost power. This at this moment she is not, but she might be. What, then, we want to do is to show truly and undis guisedly the dangerously neglected state of our national defences, and what can, and how soon can, be accom plished that which is necessary to place England in mili tary and naval power, so far as human prescience can aconiplish it, beyond tho possibility of degradation and calamitous reverses. Our argument is, that England having no desire for war, should have the proper military and naval weapons to enforce respect, and by being too strong to be attacked with any prospect of success should thus ensure the calm serenity of peace throughout her wide dominions. It is certain, however, that England has been allowed to come to the last hour when desirable pro vision for her own security can with any degree of cer tainty be made. It would take two mouths from this day, from any day, before the first gun of such an artillery as England ought to possess on land or at sea could be pro duced. It would take six months to build the first ship fit to protect the present navy of England ; and it would take three months before the first of those iron embrasures and turrets which our principal forts ought to possess could be prepared. It would thus take six months, if the British people took up the subject in earnest at once, before Eng land would have made even the first step on the road to safety.—. Morning Herald.

The fire had made considdrable progress before it was discovered, and tho flames defied the efforts of the fire brigade. Upwards of 1,600 bales of cotton were stored in the premises, besides 200 tons of logwood, the , greater part of which has b een consumed. The principal I owners were Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co. ; a small portion of the cotton belonging to Rathbone Brothers Taylor, and Co., J. Swire, and Walton, Bolton, and Co The two warehouses were divided by a narrow passage, and the flames quickly spread from one building to tho other. - IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY.

To-day the Assistant-Judge directed that George Hamil ton Finney, the son of Major Finney, who was a month ago found guilt) of stealing a silver spoon, the property of Charles Cooper, the lessee of the Albion TaVern, Russell street, Covent -garden, to be brought up for judgment. Mr. Sleigh asked the Court to deal mercifully with the prisoner, as he was suffering from heart disease. Tho Assistant -Judge said the case had stood over for some time to allow an application to be made to the Home Secretary on his behalf for a pardon, but from the in quiries that had been made, he (the learned Judge) had no doubt whatever as to the propriety of the verdict at which the jury had arrived. It was his duty to deal with the prisoner as he would With any other person, and the sentence upon him was, that he be imprisoned and kept to such hard labo ur as be would be able to perform for five months. The sentence seemed to surpriso the young gentleman. UNITED STATES POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.

SHEEP WORRYING IN SCOTLAND. —Between Sun day night and Monday morning last no fewer than 261ambs and one ewe were worried by dogs on the farm of New Belses, Roxburghshire, in the occupation of Mr. Wylde. On entering a field on Monday morning the shepherd came upon the half-eaten carcases of two lambs, and in a corner of the same field he found other 24 lambs and a owe lying together, in a heap, all dead, a number of which Appeared as it they had died from suffocation through being forced to gether. There is no doubt but the animals have all died as the result of an attack by dogs, but where from or to whom belonging the police have as yet been unable to ascertain —Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE NEWCASTLE Cup.—The Newcastle Cup for 1866, now on view at the manufacturers, Messrs. E. and E. Manuel, 1, Burlington-gardens, is a work of unique design and most elaborate beauty. It is a silver vase in the renaissance style, relieved with gilding. The handles aro formed by figures of St. George attacking the dragon. A. female figure, typifying the city of Newcastle, and bearing the city arms, surmounts the cover. The battle of Chevy Chase, having been fought in the vicinity of Newcastle, has been selected fer illustration on two bas reliefs ou the body of the vase. The first represents the scene before the combat between the Earls Percy and Douglas, when Witherington, an English squire, offers to decide the quarrel by a siuglo combat with any Scot ; the second depicts the combat between the earls,duriug which Earl Douglas met his death by au Eugllah arrow. Si r Hugh Montgomery, a Scottish knight, then rushed through the fray and pierced Earl Percy with his lance, seeing which an English archer shot an arrow at Montgomery and killed him. These thrilling incidents are narrated in silver with a display of poetic fancy and dramatic expres- sion that may well awaken admiration. Seldom has his tory been presented in a more costly and attractive form han it assumes in this superbly embossed vase, which might serve not only for a racing cup, but also for an aca- demic prize, so rich is it iu historic interest and legendary lore. It is a magnificent work, and does honour to the artist who designed it, and to the manufacturers who car- tied his conception into truthful and spirited execution. PETROLEUM FOR ASTIIMA.—A correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes to that journal :—" I have a son six years old that had the asthma in the most distressing form for three or four months, when ho was one or two years old. We tried everything we could hear of without getting relief, tilll we were told to rub his neck and breast with petroleum, and we used it both crude and refined, ex periencing very speedy relief and a final and permanent cure; for he has not since had a return of it, and is now a very healthy child." THE NlLE.—Colonel Scobell, the last surviving commissioned officer who took part in the battle of the Nile, has just died at his seat, Nancealverne, near Penzance, at the ago of 88. Deceased was the son of the Rev. Mr. &obeli, vicar of Sancreed, Cornwall. He entered the Royal Marines at an early age, and was present at the battle of the Nile, on board the Alexander, Capt. Ball, as second lieutenant. Ho was also engaged on land in Nelson's Italian campaigns. The gallant colonel in later life de voted himself to agricultural pursuits. SIGNOR ARDIYI's GRAND CONCERT AT HER MA JESTY'S THEATRE.—Signor Arditi's great concert, which is generally accepted as the culminating point of all the morning entertainments given during the London fashionable season, came off brilliantly on Friday last, the 15th instant. In a theatre crowded with rank and fashion, it was really a sight to witness the delightful attention with which the audience lingered on almost every piece. Madlle. Titiens, the great prima donna, now confessedly standing alone as the first singer in Europe, was, of course, the loading artiste on this remarkable occasion. Besides her marvellous power as a singer, we feel com pelled, in justice to her great taste (exhibited in another direction than that of music) to notice, for the information of our lady-readers, her dress ; which was an exquisite morning costume in the richest whitepoutt-de-soie, trimmed with mauve silk, forming festoons. The ekirt was trimmed with Cluny lace and shells of mother-o'-pearl. Nothing could exceed the effect of this tasteful dress. The dress, we believe, was made by the well-known Messrs. Jay, of Regent-street, an establishment now celebrated in London and in Paris for its exquisite Court Millinery. BURIAL OF THE POOR.—One of the last Acts passed was to enable Boards of Guardians in Ireland to provide coffins and shrouds for the burial of poor parsons who at the time of their death were not in receipt of relief from the poor-rates.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS. - - - (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Willes and a Special Jury.) - DAWKIN;V. LORD ROKEDY. , The hearing of this case was resumed to-day, the ex amination of Colonel Dawkins being continued, but the evidence, which consisted chiefly of the verification of a mass of correspondence, was not interesting to the public. At the close of the examination in chief of the plaintiff, The Solicitor-General contended that an action in this case could not be maintained, for, according to civil law action for false imprisonment could not be brought for ward after four years subsequent to the offence charged. He contended also that in conformity with the provisions of the Mutiny Act and military law a civil tribunal could not try a case like the present. Mr. Bevil' followed on the same side. Mr. Karslake replied. His lordship delivered a most elaborate judgment, in the course of which he stated his opinion that this case could not be decided by a civil court, and that there was no ground' for imputing malicious or improper motives to Lord Rokeby, who made his statements before the courts of inquiry in his capaCity. But even had it been otherwise and that the court was a competent tribunal to try the case, the defendant would be protected by the law, which held that a witness could not be subject to any legal con sequence in consequence of the evidence in the witness box. The plaintiff was accordingly non-suited. BARKS V. DEKLY. (Before Mr. Justice Keating and a common jury.) This was an action to recover a sum of £24 on a bill of exchange of the defendant, to which it was pleaded that the defendant had not accepted the bill, and' that it was merely a bill of accommodation for which no value had been received. The plaintiff is a printer and engraver in business at Islington, and it appeared that from time to time he ad vanced different sums to his son, who was a jeweller living at Newington-butts. The plaintiff's son was intimate with the defendant, and was in the habit of accompanying him to races, and advancing money for certain purposes, and to enable him to go abroad occasionally. These sums amounted to a sum of 466, but the bill of exchange was the only amount at present in dispute. The plaintiff held the bill as part payment of the sums lent to his son. The bill not being paid the action was commenced. Verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HEARTLESS ROBBERY.—Charles Herman, lately porter in the service of Mr. Priest, eating-house keeeper, of Charles street, Soho-square, was charged with stealing a box of wearing apparel of the value of £5, the property of Caro line Hall, a fellow servant, the robbery being one of a most cruel nature. The prisoner was further charged with stealing a truck from his employer. It appeared that the prosecutrix, Caroline Hall, a married woman, having her husband in the hospital, had been obliged to go into service, but on Saturday last she was compelled to leave her situation in consequence of her being about to become a mother. She gave the pri soner, her follow servant, her box, containing her wearing apparel, to take to the booking-office in Oxford-street, and he started with it for that purpose, taking his em ployer's truck with him. The poor woman afterwards as certained that the prisoner had never been to the booking office. She then gave information to the police, and the matter being placed in the hands of Sergeant Cole, of the C division, an experienced officer, he last night succeeded in finding the prisoner in Berwick-street Mews. Ou tax ing Lim with the robbery he at first said that he know nothing about it, and that he never lived at Mr. Priest's, but subsequently he said that he would tell the truth, and that he did have the things, and sold them for 10s., the value of them being about £5. Sergeant Cole asked for a remand, which was granted, Mr. Knox kindly ordering the poor woman a sovereiga from the poor-box. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE THROUGII FURIOUS DRIVING. — John Hunt, of 23, George-street, Sloane-square, coachman, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and furiously driving and damaging a brougham, the property of Mr. Richard Hollins, jobmaster, Albion-mews West, Hyde-park-square. Thos. Beale, 119 0, said that about 12 last night, while in Park-lane, he saw the defendant driving a brougham at a furious rate down Park-lane. Directly afterwards he heard a crash and saw that the defendant had come in collision with a brougham, knocking the hind wheels com pletely off, besides doing other damage. He went and stopped the defendant, who drove off at a furious rate, and took him into custody, the defendant being drunk at the time. Mr. Hollins, jobmaster, of Albion Mews, West, said .£2O damage had been done to his brougham. A cab proprietor stepped forward and said that his cab had also been damaged by the defendant to the amount of .£7, but the driver was not'in attendance. Mr. Knox said he would remand the defendant for a few days so that the cabman might attend, and then a better estimate of the damage might be produced. He would take bail, but should require two sureties in £3O each. THAMES. JUST PUNISHMENT OF DISORDERLY WOMEN.-31r. Paget has come to the determination of punishing with great severity disorderly and violent women of infamous cha racter, whose conduct is in defiance of all public morality and decency. He has visited with severity many female ruffians with nothing of women about them, but the sex who have committed violent assaults on each other, and upon persons with whom they came in contact, ac companying their outrages with blasphemous and indecent language and threats, hereby the whole of the offenders have been taken in Ratcliff-highway, Shadwell, and Tiger-bay, St. George-in-the-East. Jane Smith was charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting Margaret Sheppard in Shadwell. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour, and said although the as sault was but a slight one, ho was under the necessity of punishing severely disorderly women for injuring each other and injuring others; and if two months would not suffice, he would visit disorders of this kind with still greater severity. The next two women who appeared be fore him were Anne Gilligan and Mary Ann Mulcahy, who have given snore trouble to the police, the magis trates, and the officers of this court than any other two women in the district. Gilligan is a dreadful character, and though only only 33 years of age, is called the " old woman," and she looks like a woman of seventy. A very intelligent police-sergoant named Dillon, No. 19 said she was one of the most desperate and abandoned characters in the district. She had been convicted of felony and underwent throe years' penal servitude. Her real name was Hall, and she cohabited with a man named Gilli gan, a thief, who was transported. She had been con cerned in numerous outrages and robberies, the plunder ing of sailors, and ill-usage of people in the notorious dens iu Illuegate-fields, Kati The convictions against her were numerous. Mrs. Mulcahy, who had a surgical plaister on her face, has been repeatedly convicted of as saults on the wretched creatures who live in the horrible houses belonging to her and her husband in Bluegato fields, Angel-gardens, and other places. She was sent to prison for a month for cutting a man's head open with a bottle, and also convicted for assaults on the police. Sergeant Dillon said the mischief done by the two women was enormous, and they were a nuisance to society. It was proved that Gilligan assaulted Mrs. Mul cahy in the White Fox public-house, Shadwell, and Mrs. Mulcahy wont to Gilligan's house in the evening and beat her. The assaults were accompanied by fearful scenes of violence and disorder. Gilligan said she was a tenant of Mrs. Mulcahy's, who had 14 brothels. Mrs. Mulcahy— I have 1G in this end of the town and as many in the west. Mr. Paget, having sternly reproved the prisoners, sen tenced them each to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, and said if they wore brought before him again under similar circumstances he would order a much longer imprisonment or he would send them to tho sessions. Mrs. Mulcahy, who has become rich by her nefarious trade, said she could pay a fine, and implored of the magistrate to inflict one , and not send her to prison. She could pay £lO, or £2O, or £5O. Mr. Paget—No, I will not allow you to escape on pay ment of a fine. You will go to prison. Tesane War Cloud Pinchbeck Dignity Maria f Chip-of-the-Old-Block Won by two lengths.
