The Sun. — London, England, 1865-03-24 00:00:00

The Money Market remains in much the sam Position which has characterised it during the past week. The inquiry for accommodation continues large, and although bankers and brokers find their capital diminishing, are only charging 4f per cent., and in exceptional cases 41 per cent. for the best bills. The Bank of England return for the past week presents features of a very satisfactcry character. The gold and reserve of notes show a large addition, and from the recent heavy demand for discounts it was to be expected that the other securities would exhibit a proportionate increase. Annexed is our usual analysis : Active Circulation £19,573,495 Bullion Decrease Ratlncrease ••• Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven Day and Other Bills Increase Government Securities Other Securities ...

The bullion has been increased £803,333, while the notes in circulation have been reduced £120,000, and the bills discounted £186,666. The advances show an augmentation of £45,000, and the Treasury balances of £860,000, but the current accounts are £lBO,OOO smaller.

This morning the further examination of Brown, alias " Scotty," Hurley, Cawley, Geoffrey, Roberts, Wilkinson, alias " Carrotty Fred," and Brewerton, with Ann Caseley, Louisa Brewerton, and Martha Geoffrey, charged with the burglary at Messrs. Walker's, of Cornhill, took place before the Lord Mayor. Whilst the prisoners were awaiting their removal from Newgate this morning to the Mansion-house, " Scotty" made a savage attack on his fellow-prisoner Caseley, and, doubtless, would have inflicted severe injury on him had not the prison officials properly secured him. The case seemed rather to increase than diminish in in terest, as the court was crowded to such an excess that the atmosphere was almost insupportable. When the witness, Susan Price, came into the witness box, the prisoner Scotty became very violent, and desired that the witness might be so placed that he might see her fa co. The Lord Mayor—l desire you to remain quiet. Scotty—l won't until I see her face. No one need be afraid of speaking the truth. The Lord Mayor—l desire you to remain quiet. Scotty—l won't. I won't stay hero at all ; I will go down stairs. Three constables, however, took up their position near Scotty, and he then remained quiet. Susan Price, of 14, Alfred-street, Barnsbury, said—l have been acquainted with the prisoner Brown (Scotty). He introduced himself to me as a traveller. A month after I went to live with him as his wife, and I continued to do so until he was apprehended. We lived at York House, Con stable-alley, Hoxton. In July last we were living at Great Cambridge-street, Hackney. I remember the robbery at Mr. Johnson's, in 1864, and once before it I saw Geoffrey. After it he lived in the same house as we did. Before the robbery Brown took me to Mr. Johnson's premises. He did not tell me where we were going. When we got to Johnson's Scotty opened the side door and shut it again. He opened it with a key. It was between 7 and Bon a Sunday even - ing. He told me I was to stand before him so that no one should see him. He did not go in ; he simply tried the door and shut it again. He then said they were going to break into Johnson's. I know Hurley. He came to see us once or twice, but I've not seen him for the last 12 months. They used to talk about houses to " do" if they could. On the Saturday previous to Johnson's robbery Scotty went out. He said he was going to meet Geoffrey. From the conversation I gathered that Geoffrey had the "tools." Brown did not return home until four on Sunday afternoon. Ho came home alone, bringing some jewellery with him. Ho took it out of his pocket. It consisted of earrings, rings, pins, lockets, brooches, and other things. I did not see any watches. He gave me a pair of ear-rings. He did not toll me whore he got the jewellery from. He said the next morning he expected Hurley, who was going to dispose of the goods. About 12 o'clock Brown (Scotty) said he was going across the park to meet Geoffrey and Hur ley. He took the jewellery with him, but he brought it back when he returned home in the evening. About a fortnight after I was with' Brown when he met Barrett (Geoffrey) in the Bethnal-green-road. Brown said he was not content with his share (£6O). He said he ought to have more. Barrett said it was all nonsense, he had had his fair share. In September last Barrett, with his wife, came to live in the same house with us. They occupied the two parlours. I have seen both Geoffrey and Brown filing keys. Tho vice (produced) belonged to Scotty. I have seen keys in it. It used to be fastened on the mantelpiece. I took some jewellery to a man named Coombes, as he thought our place would be searched on account of the silk robbery. They were after Brown and Barrett for that robbery. The bag pro duced is the one I took to Coombes in Bow-lane. It con tained the jewellery,watch, and rings that Brown was wear ing when he was apprehended. I locked the bag and gave the key to Brown. I recollect seeing the reward up for Walker's robbery. I had heard Brown and Barrett talk about trying to get in there for months. I heard them talking about going to a blacksmith. I have seen augres and other things in their possession —skeleton keys, for instance. I don't know what a• screw jack is. I have seen Browerton visit Barrett about two or three times during the time they lived in our house. Brewerton—Mr. Lewis, why don't you tell the woman what to say ? Mr. Lewis—l shall ask whatever question I please. When they met, what used they to talk about ? Witness—They all talked about Walker's and Johnson's business. Caseley--She says all, my lord. Am I included in the " all," my lord ? The Lord Mayor—so, she says nothing about you. Caseley—Very well, so that I understand that " all " means that I am exempt. Witness continued—l visited Brown when he was in prison. He told me to go to Palmer's and to Caseley's and tell them he was in trouble, and that he must have a soli citor. Caseley said he was very sorry, and that he would do all ha could. The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to ask anything, prisoner Brown ? Brown—Yes, but I've a bluff way of speaking, so I hope you'll excuse me. I'm not very handy at asking questions The Lord-Mayor—Ask the questions ; don't make statements. Scotty—When the police came to our house wasn't I in bed when they came ? Witness —Yes. Scotty—Did I throw Inspector Brennan on the bed? Witness—No. In answer to further questions put to her by the prisoner Scotty, I had my hand on the mantelpiece when Ranger took the watch up. The police searched the place, but they did not find auy skeleton keys. Scotty—How long have you been in the police service ? Witness—l never was in their service. Scotty—l can prove you have been driven about London by Inspector Potter for the last three weeks. Witness—Well, if I have, you have done the same with Mrs. Coombes. You took good care you would never do it. You had your fancy woman, you know. The witness here in an excited manner said, "How about Jessie Hay?" The Lord Mayor—l desire that only questions be asked. Witness,'you need not answer anything not connected with the evidence. Scotty—She shall answer the questions I put to her. The Lord Mayor—Not without they refer to the evidence. Scotty—Well, but all the truth shall come out. To witness—Don't you think you and I would have been better friends if I had allowed you to go on the streets ? Witness—You scandalous villain. The Lord Mayor—The witness need not answer that. Scotty—Oh, yes, she must. I have a public duty to perform. (Laughter.) I have—(laughter)—and it's but just you should know the character of the witness. Scotty—How long have you been a prostitute ? Witness—l deny I ever have been a prostitute. Scotty—Have you never sold stolen property for a fish monger named James? Witness—No, never. Scotty—Did you never show me a key which you said belonged to Thompson's warehouse in Bow-lane, and didn't you wish me to break in there ? Witness—No I swear I - nev er Scotty—l'll have it all out, so you may as well speak the truth. My lord, she and I broke into Thompson's. Witness—l deny it. Scotty—You may easily do that. The Lord Mayor—lf you wish to make a confession of all the robberies you have committed I am quite ready to hear it. The witness denies that she has done as you say. Scotty—She's sworn to speak the truth, and I'll have it all. Witness—lf you want it all out, why don't you have it ? I have sworn to tell the truth, but I'vo not sworn to the silk robbery or the bullion plan. You know you broke into Bennock's. (Sensation.) If you want it all, why don't you have it out ? What did you break my ribs for ? Scotty—Because you wont with other men. Witness—lt's false ; you broke my ribs because you said I had £l9O in notes belonging to one of your companions from tho bullion plan. Scotty—Did you never carry my boots for mo ? Witness—Yes. Scotty—And where did you leave them ? Witness—Whore did I leave them f Why I left them with tho Coombos's. I nover had tools in my place but onco. Scotty—Didn't you show me a key belonging to Alice's of Angel. street ? WitnesS—No, you offered 10s. for the key after they had the Bramah lock put on. Scotty—My lord, the witness standing in the box has got on a dress that was stolen from a linsey place in Red cross-street. Witness—Well, if I have you gave it me for carrying the tools, and it is not much of a one after all. Caseley—You know all the men concerned in Johnson's robbery ? Witness—Yes. Caseley—Was I ono of them ? Witness—No. An Inspector of the Thames Police proved the finding of nine watches in the Thames. The warders of several prisons we re nex t exam i ned, and proved a number of convictions to penal servitude against the male prisoners. Caseley was proved to have been sen tenced, amongst other things, to four years' penal servitude on the 4th June, 1860, for stealing a quantity of plate. The Lord Mayor—How much time was remitted ? Caseley—None, my lord ; I did it all, and brought a good character home with me. The police-constable of the N division can speak to this if he likes. I was apprehended on such a number of frivolous cases that Mr. D'Eyncourt was sick and tired of seeing me, so they brought in a re cruiting sergeant into the police -court and enlisted me into the rifles. They made a soldier of me because they could not get me transported. That's the way thieves are made, and then society blames them for being dishonest. Mr. Merriman addressed the Lord Mayor for the prisoner Wilkinson, and The Loi-d Mayor said Mr. Lewis had abandoned the charge ho had against him, but Mr. Pater attended to prefer a fresh charge against him. The case of Mr. Walker was concluded against the pri soners, upon which they were fully committed. A charge of stealing a quantity of silk was then formally opened, upon which they were remanded. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day ) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE KING-A LARGE DEFICIENCY. This bankrupt was described as an ironmonger, of Grove-end Road, St. John's-wood, and to-day he came up to pass his last examination, and for the order of discharge. The accounts by Mr. March, of London-street, show debts £4,800, with assets £6OO, leaving a deficiency of £4,200. The bankrupt states that his expenditure for 1864 was £2,500, and for 1863 £3,000. Mr. Lucas appeared for the assignees, who opposed ; and Mr. Bagley represented the bankrupt. Mr. Lucas asked that the case should be adjourned. The bankrupt had filed a cash account amounting to £2,500, and in this he had put down over £l,OOO as payable to himself. Now the assignees wished to know what he had dohe with the money. He had filed a deficiency account which could not assist the assignees at all, and did not ac count for a single farthing. The official assignee said that the extracts had been made from the partnership books. The bankrupt had not accounted for his private deficiency. Mr. Bagley said that his client was not, and never had been, a man of business. The fact was that Mr. King, who had a sum of money left him by his father, entered into a partnership business, and was at the mercy of his partner. Mr. Lucas said the only asset was some £5O, and the assignees wore now made parties to a suit in Chancery. Mr. Bagloy--That is your fault. If the adjournment is granted no costs should be given, as the bankrupt is en tirely unable to pay them. Mr. Lucas—Ho denuded himself of all his property be fore coming to this court, and his family are well off. His Honour ordered an adjournment at bankrupt's ex• ponse. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE FIRE AT SAVILE MUO.—Two of the professionals engaged at the Odeon Music Hall, Savile House, Leicester square, lately destroyed by fire, waited on Mr. Knox this morning, and handed him the following memorial " We, the undersigned, declare that we were yesterday, the 20th, at Ryder's-court, where a committee is sitting to receive donations for the sufferers by the late fire at Savile House ; that we examined the books of the said committee, and found that, on the first distribution, on the 4th of March, each member of the committee took 10s., while all the other members of the company only received ss. At another distribution on the 15th of March, each member of the committee took £2, whilst we then received only 15s. " As, on the formation of the society, it had been laid down as a rule that each member was to be entitled to an equal share, whether belonging to the committee or not, we regard the behavour of the committee as unjust in the highest degree, and beg your worship to aid us in recover ing the money back from the committee, and we will then elect another which will act not only in their own, but in the interest and justice of all the members." The memorial was signed by several members. After reading the memorial, Mr. Knox said the only remedy the applicants had was a Chancery suit, which, of course, he would not think of advising them to commence. Publicity being given to the application might perhaps be attended with a beneficial effect. The applicants thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. SEVERE MISFORTUNE TO A CAB DRlVER.—Benjamin Purser, a cabdriver, wearing a badge No. 7,572, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and inca pable of taking care of his horse and cab in the Bow-road last night. The prisoner's head was bandaged and his left eye was fearfully swollen and discoloured. He had lost a good deal of blood. A police-constable said the prisoner was very drunk last night, and was driving awkwardly. He saw the prisoner fall off the cab into the road, and he was taken up grievously wounded. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he had been a cab driver 30 years, and was never in such a disgraceful posi tion before. He was standing about on the cab rank and ex posed to the cold yesterday, and in the evening got a fare who treated him with a good deal of liquor. It got the better of him, and he became bewildered and intoxicated. He had a large family of children to maintain, and he hoped his worship would kindly take into consideration his long services as a cabman, and the dreadful injury he had met with. He had no victuals all day. He now saw his folly, but it was too late. No one could tell what poor cabmen suffered. They were standing about in the cold and wet all day without food, and with nobody to help them. Mr. Joseph Romaine, a cab proprietor, of No. 23, Hawkins-street, Stepney, said the prisoner had been in his service twelve months, and he had been in liquor before, but not so bad as he was last night. Mr. Partridge said that nothing could be more foolish and mischievous than for people who:, hired cabmen to give them strong drinks. Every day drunken cab drivers were brought up in the police courts. It was a very seri ous offence for cab drivers to be drunk in the streets while plying for hire or driving a fare. It was attended with great danger to the public. Females were frightened and alarmed if they had the misfortune to get into a cab in the care of a drunken driver. Notwithstanding the severe injuries which the prisoner had sustained, he would not pass over this offence, but as the prisoner's license was clean he should inflict a fine of ss. only. The license would be now endorsed. The penalty was paid. _ - IRISH VENGEASCR.—Itary Carroll, a largo Irishwoman with a child in her arms, was brought before Mr. Part ridge charged with scalding Mary Hyde, her neighbour. Michael Hughes, a police constable, No. 206 IC, was called upon to take the prisoner last night for scalding another woman in Plough Alley, Wapping. The prisoner admitted that she had thrown a basin of hot water over her neighbour, and had her revenge of her. The injured woman was taken to the hospital. She was severely scalded about the neck and shoulders. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner what she had to say against being remanded for a week. The prisoner —Let me take my baby with me—pray do. Mr. Partridge—Yes, you may do that. The baby is suckling, is it not ? The prisoner —Faith it is, your honour. Mr. Partridge—You are remanded for a week. BURKE T S—Tbis Day. MARK-L ANE. The arrivals of home-grown wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate. Most samples, how ever, were received in good condition, and the trade both for Kent and Essex produce ruled firm, at quite Monday's currency. The supply of foreign wheat on sale was rather limited. Good and fine Baltic wheats moved off steadily, at full currencies ; and all other descriptions of foreign wheat were firm in price. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and both wheat and spring corn changed hands, at full quotations. The market was moderately supplied with barley, but the bulk was of very middling quality. Even good and fine samples were a slow sale ; but inferior produce was very dull. No change took place in prices. Malt was in slow request, at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was moderate ; generally speaking, the trade was quiet, on former terms. Beans and peas—the supplies of which on sale wens small—met an inactive market, at late rates. The flour trade was steady, at fully previous quotata tions. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

TIIE BELFAST RIOTS.—BELFAST, Thursday.--In the case of Jamos APCormick, charged with shooting at John Fogan on the Bth August last, the jury, after a con sultation of about 15 minutes, returned a verdict of " Not guilty," and tho prisoner was accordingly discharged. A Court of Common Council was holden yester day at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor presided. The LORD MAY OR announced that he had, re ceived, through Mr. Crawfurd, M.P., a letter from Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, dated from Bombay, acknowledging the receipt of the emblazoned reso lution conferring the honorary freedom of the City upon him, and expressing the great satisfaction it had afforded him. The letter was ordered to be entered upon the journals of the Court, and the Lord Mayor stated that the resolution had been transmitted to India at the cost of Mr. Crawfurd. Court Council. BROKERS RENTS BILL. Upon the motion of Mr. METNARD, the adjourned debate upon the Brokers' Rents and Bonds Bill, now before Parliament, which was among the business of the day . , was further postponed, it being stated that some amicable arrangement was likely to be entered into between the brokers, who feel aggrieved at the present state of things, and the Corporation. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT -0- -- HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack it five o'clock. EXCHANGE OF TITHES. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH brought in a bill for the purpose of enabling district churches in the new parishes to exchange tithes with other parishes. His grace said that he would reserve auy explanations in refe rence to the bill until the second reading. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Agra and Masterman's Bank Bill was advanced a stage. The Glasgow City and Suburban Gas Bill was read a second time. The Dingwall and Skye Railway Bill, and the Leaming ton Gas Bill was read a third time and passed. ILLLGAL DETENTION IN A LUNATIC ASYLUM. The Earl of MALMESBURY called the attention of the house to the illegal detention of the late Mr. Docknall in a lunatic asylum at Sedgefield, and moved that all the docu ments in reference thereto in the possession of the Home Office should be produced. From inquiries ho had made, he could vouch for the accuracy of th o b r i e f narrative ho would submit to the house. It appeared that in 1863 the late Mr. Docknall, a respectable bookseller, who had formerly been a clerk for 17 years in her Majesty's service, opened a shop in Chester-le-street, Durham, and was for some time engaged there in business. Though what he understood was a conspiracy between the wife of the deceased and a gentleman, Col. Johnson, the deceased was taken to a lunatic asylum at Sedgefield. Only one medical man's certificate was obt a i ne d, w hil e th e law required two, and it was stated that Col. Johnson had not examined the deceased. After five days detention the deceased was dis charged, it being proved that he was not insane. He was advised to bring an action against Colonel Johnstone, and laid damages at £5,000. Owing to the pressure of business before the court, he was unable to have his case heard, and he applied in vain for redress to the Home Office. These circumstances operated on the mind of the deceased to such an extent that he committed suicide by taking prussic acid last October. The noble lord then read a correspon dence between the father of the deceased and the Home office, as well as affidavits in support of his statement, and said that the conduct of Col. Johnson was most repre hensible, for he had committed a most illegal act while in the discharge of his official duties. His lordship proceeded to state that the deceased had been treated wit great cruelty, having been taken away from his home forcibly while he was at dinner. It appeared also that Col. Johnson had offered £BO as compensation to the deceased, thereby ad mitting that he had been guilty of an illegal act. He thought he had made out a cats for inquiry into this matter, assuming that Col. Johnson was not reprimanded for his conduct. Earl GRANVILLE contended that the Home-office had not acted improperly in the matter, and was understood to say that the documents in question would be produced. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY contended that the sub ject should be rigidly inquired into, for here was a case in which a magistrate had stated what was false, and acted in violation of the statute law by affirming that he had made an inspection of the deceased. The Earl of DERBY agreed with the noble lord (Shaftesbury), and he could not see why the Home-office had abstained from an inquiry into the subject. Earl RUSSELL said he did not know whether Colonel Johnson had been communicated with, but he thought the facts should be laid before the Lord Chancellor. After a few words from Lord MALMESBURY and the LORD CnAnELLon the motion was agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Brighton, Hove, and Preston Constant Service Water, Ciystal Palace District Gas, Great Eastern Railway (Bishop Stortford Railway Purchase), Bolton Improvement, Bristol Joint Station, Leicester Lunatic Asylum and Im provement, Limerick Embankment and Reclamation, Liverpool Improvement, and West Worthing Improve ment. The Belfast Borough Bill was read a second time. LANARKSHIRE COUNTY PRISONS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir E. COLEBROOKE took objection to the motion. and moved as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Lord ELCHO seconded the amendment. After a short discussion, The LORD ADVOCATE said he intended to bring in a bill that evening which he thought would render the present bill needless. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 95 Against it Majority —s6 The bill was consequently lost. PETITIONS. Mr. Cox presented a petition from certain Indian offi cers praying for redress. Mr. HADFIELD presented petitions in favour of a reduc tion of the mileage duty. Mr. Hymen]) presented a petition against the Bank Notes Issue Bill. Mr. BRADY presented petitions from different places in 'eland praying for an alteration of the law with regard to andlord and tenant. Mr. S. FITZGERALD presented a petition from certain Indian officers praying for redress. BLEDLOW SCHOOLMASTER. Mr. FERRAND moved for a copy of all correspondence between the Poor-law Board and the guardians of the Wycombe Union, and other papers relating to the serious charges which had been made against the master of Bled low school in that union.—Agreed to. ORDNANCE EXPERIMENTS. Mr. H. BAILLIE moved an address for return of all the experiments carried on by the Ordnance Select Committee, including those in progress from the Ist day of January, 1859, to the 20th day of February, 1865 (also including those made on Armstrong guns whether adopted into the service or not), showing the name of the originator or proposer, and the nature or object of each experi ment, and by whom recommended to be carried out; the amount of the cost paid or agreed to be paid by the ori ginator or proposer of each experiment ; the total cost of each experiment and the estimated cost of those in pro gress ; the sums of money paid or recommended to be paid by the Ordnance Select Committee to any inventor between the above dates, together with the name, rank, and occu pation of each inventor.—Ordered. RAILWAYS IN THE CITY. Deputy FRY brought up a report from the Im provement Committee, asking for the authority of the Court to oppose certain bills now before Parlia ment, and supported by the Metropolitan Railway, the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, and the South-Western Railway. He said that the bills in question proposed to deal with lands that were at present in the hands of the Corporation of Lon don for the purposes of public improvements, and all the committee desired was to endeavour to prevent the companies in question from dealing with the property without the consent of the Corporation. The report was agreed to. THE OPENING OF SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE. The Towi Clerk (Mr. Woodthorpe) laid before the Court a letter he had received from Mr. Hunt, secretary of the Southwark-bridge Company, call ing attention to the fact that the first period of six months, during which the bridge had been—under certain conditions agreed to by the Corporation— thrown open to the public, would shortly expire, and asking whether it was intended to renew the agreement, according to the terms agreed upon. beputy OBBERD said that the matter had better be referred to the Bridge-house Committee for them to take into consideration, and report to the Court forthwith whether they considered it advisable to renew the arrangement. Mr. JOHN YOUNG said that, while upon this sub ject, he thought it right to inform the Court that in the bill introduced by Alderman Salomons, at pre sent before Parliament, the object of which was to abolish all the metropolitan toll-bridges, it was pro posed to increase the coal dues one penny per ton. Mr. LAWLEY said he could add that, from the in formation he had received, the coal trade as a body were strongly averse to the proposed increase. (Hear, hear.) The subject was then referred to the Briege-house Committee. THE CITY LIBRARIAN. Deputy CHARLES REED brought up a report from the Library Committee upon the reference to con sider the nature, duties, and emoluments of the office of librarian, and recommending that, under existing circumstances, Mr. William Henry Overall, the sub-librarian, be appointed to the office at a salary of £2OO per annum. This report led to a long discussion, during which Mr. SYMMS moved, as an amendment, that the matter be referred back to the committee for further consideration, and, adopting the terms of a motion that was placed upon the paper by Mr. H. L. Taylor, but which that gentleman was prevented by illness from being present, to pro pose—" That it was essential for the dignity and prestige of the corporation and the efficient discharge of the duties of the office, that in the appointment, due regard should be paid to the selection of an ex perienced man, not only of business habits, but of literary reputation and distinguished as a scholar." The original motion was eventually carried. The motion by Deputy Elliott, having reference to the finances of the corporation, was then brought forward, which was discussed with closed doors, and the Court shortly afterwards adjourned. STATE OF TRADE. BARNSLEY, March 22.—The reports that have come to hand to-day respecting the probability of a longer dispute -in Staffordshire •between the iron masters and their men, had a, depressing effect upon trade, especially upon the coke trade, which has now suffered for some time. The tonnage despatched to the metropolis of both silkstones and first-class house coal is large, and prices have somewhat ad vanced since our last report. The provincial inquiry keeps good, and should the ironmasters of this dis trict not be mixed up with the dispute elsewhere felt —and it is thought that they will not—the effects of the lock-out will be less serious than at one time was anticipated. The export trade at Hull and Grimsby of South Yorkshire coal is still limited, owing to the frost, of which we ha're had a return. BRADFORD, 23d.—The drooping tendency of the Liverpool Cotton-market continues to depress this market to a considerable extent. The transactions in wool to-day have been exceedingly meagre. The sales have been almost confined to wether matchings. Prices were still in favour of the buyer, though some staplers who are able to hold decline to make any concession, under the conviction that a change for the better must occur in May or June. Neither orders nor offers are made in worsted yarns. A few purchasers in 30's single have been made from stocks at very low prices. A great many offers made by the export houses last Thursday have to day been withdrawn. The business doing for home consumption has been extremely small. Prices are irregular, and in favour of the buyer. The piece market was sluggish. A few manufacturers received orders which will keep their looms running for about a month. The cold weather is an obstacle to business being done in spring goods by the home merchants. The export merchants receive no fresh orders from abroad. Some small lots have been bought by American houses. The tendency of prices was still downwards. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. CHIEF JUSTICE MONAHAN. Sir T. BATESON asked whether any further informa tion had been received relative to the charge brought against the magistrates of the County Down of administer ing justice partially? He should like to know whether he had made any retractation of the terms complained of. Mr. HOGAN thought that notice should have been given the Chief Justice Monahan that this matter was to be brought again under the consideration of Parliament. Sir R. PEEL thought it would have been better, after what he had said the other evening, had this subject not been brought before the house again. He had, however, received a letter from Chief Justice Monahan, in which he stated that he had no recollection of having made the statements to the effect that the magistrates of the county Down administered justice partially. He believed it would be admitted that a more impartial and upright judge than Chief Justice Monaghan did not exist, and if he had been betrayed by a little hasty feeling into making some statements which, in his cooler moments, he would not have done, he was not the first person who had done such a thing. He had already said that Chief Justice Monahan was not justified, if he had made the assertion, of accusing certain magistrates of partiality. Mr. HOGAN asked if the learned judge had made any statement of the matter to the Government. Sir R. PEEL said he had reported. Mr. HOGAN asked whether it would be produced, but no answer was given. Col. FORD then proceeded to 'make some observations on the same subject, when Col. GREVILLE asked:the Secretary for Ireland whether he would produce the report he had received from the learned judge, Sir R. - PEEL said he did not think it advisable that the report should be produced. • Mr. HENNESSY thought it highly desirable that the report should be produced. (Laughter.) Sir G. GREY said his right hon. friend had given the best answer he could, being asked the question in the way he had. If the hon. gentleman particularly wished for the report, the proper way would be to move for it in the ordinary manner. The subject then dropped. THE DUDE CLAIMS. Mr. KNIGHT asked the Secretary of State for India if the report of the Calcutta Commission on the Oude claims had been received ; and if so, when he would lay it upon the table of the house. Sir C. WOOD said no such report had been received. THE EASTER RECESS. Mr. A. MILLS. asked the First Lord of the Treasury when the adjournment would take place for the Easter holidays ? Lord PALMERSTON said the state of the public busi ness would not render a departure from the ordinary rule necessary, which was to adjourn from the Friday before Good Friday.______ SUPPLY—THE HELLENES. On the motion for going i n t o comm i ttee of supply, =Mr. B. COCHRANE rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the pensions assigned under schedule B of the Convention of March 29, 1864, be tween her Majesty and the King of the Hellenes, had been paid in accordan ce w ith t h at convent i on ; and, whether her Majesty's G overnmen t i n t en d e d to take any steps for the security of the recipients of those pen sions, by placing th ose B r iti s h subjects who served Her Majesty under the l on i an Constitution on the same foot ing as pensioners of the British Crown. [(LEFT SPEAKING.) SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —A few days since a singu lar accident occurred to a little boy about four years of age while travelling on the Great Western Railway, end it is marvellous that it was not attended with fatal conse quences. It appears that the child was in the charge of his mother, and they were passengers in a Bristol train for London. He was near his mother leaning against the door of the carriage while the train was proceeding at full speed between the Reading and Twyford stations, when suddenly the door opened and the poor little fellow fell out. The feelings of the mother may be better imagined than de- ' Scribed. She was greatly distressed, and imagined that of course he had been crushed to death beneath the wheels of the remaining carriages in the train. Fortunately the train stopped at Twyford, and she there alighted and made known to the company's officials the sad occurrence of the loss of her child from the carriage. Acting upon the advice given her, she returned by the earliest train to Reading, and on her arrival at the station and making inquiries of the officers she was astonished to learn that he was safe, and received with unbounded feelings of joy her child without having sustained any injury whatever by the fall from the train. The little fellow, it seems, after the accident set off to walk towards Reading, and was very fortunately quickly met by one of the company's men at work on the line, who took charge of him and conveyed him to the station at Reading. The early discovery by the man was most timely otherwise the poor child might have been killed by some of the subsequent trains. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day RUGBY RACES—Tms DAY.

His Majesty came from Brussels by way of Calais, being a shorter sea passage than his usual route rid Ostend. On arriving at Calais by Railway at a quarter past 5 o'clock, the King embarked in the Belgian Government steamer Belgique, Commander Picard, then in readiness to convey his Majesty across the Channel. The Ostend mail packet Topaz, Commander Gerard, followed the royal boat as an escort. After a favourable passage, the steamer, having on board King Leopold, his aide-de-camp, ' Dr. Capel, and suite, drew alongside the Admiralty pier, Dover, where his Majesty landed, and was received by the Belgian Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary, M. Van de Weyer; Lord Alfred Paget and Lord Torrington, of. the Queen's household ; the Belgian Consul at Dover, Mr. S. M. Latham ; Lieutenant-General Ellice and staff ; Colonel Commandant Marriott, R.A. ; Col. Wynne, R.E. ; Capt. Bruce, R.N. ; the Secretary of Legation, M. Delfoss, &c. A. royal salute from the Castle battery announced the land ing. A guard of honour of the 37th Regiment lined the pier and the approach to the Lord Warden Hotel, and the space appropriated for spectators was crowded with a fashionable assemblage, who cheered his Majesty on his way to the Lord Warden Hotel, where he remained for the night. A special train was ordered on the South-Eastern Railway for this morning, to convey his Majesty and suite direct to Windsor. The Hon. James Byng and Mr. J. I'. Knight, chairman and traffic superintendent of the South- Eastern Railway Company, arrived at Dover last night to accompany the royal train. y Greenwood, roinenorogedEnx,E(aacia:nl i l ci : U r jih e ii i ugei r uipA, : s,tr o soe t s • sit i s:htneea h tni i )m, p i s esirwselo r ltl e n:i. 13: D r,tutdit s .;:i Assistant-Soli citor stalorylee:llitvlito.Eabityltn;Eiedespbsy:3o:,iseics.net of the Bolls, Mr. Lemon, the private solicitor of Lord Brougham, and Mr. Edmunds ; and Mr. William Brougham, who was ex am i ne d yesterday.. The Scotsman publishes a history of the Edmunds case, founded on various official reports issued at intervals during the last eight months, and which are now being sifted by the lords'committee. Our contemporaty, summing up the details, says :—" It will be seen that there is something unsatisfactory or unexplainedas to the conditions on which Mr. Edmunds was appointed to his first office ; but on that poi nt all judgment should ' be reserved till we know the defence of Mr. W. Brougham. Meanwhile two points seem clear—that the pecuniary transactions between Mt. Edmunds and Messrs. William and James Brougham, of which we have not yet full ex planation, had reference to a debt of Mr. James Brougham and that, beyond having signed a document as security for his brother more than thirty years ago, Lord Brougham knew nothing of all these complicated matters, and has derived nothing from them but a vast amount of annoy anC3, and the liability to pay another man's debt."
