He attributes his failure to illness and loss of the command of a yacht by tho death of the Marquis of Breadalbane, 9,nd the badness of the yachting season. The debts aro only £1,148. Assignees wore chosen and a day named for the neat meeting. Central Criminal Court—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) THE ST. GILES'S MURDER. The trial of John Richard Jeffreys having been placed at the top of the list of cases to be takeu this morniug, Mr. Daly made an application for the postponement of the trial until to-morrow, as the lino of defence he intended to take required he presence of certain witnesses, *hose at tendance could not be procured until to-morrow. The learned judge granted the application. The prisoner, on being arraigned on the charge of wil fully murdering his son, Richard Arthur Jeffreys, pleaded not guilty. THE MURDER IN SOMERS TOWN. Mary Butcher, 35, married, was placed at the bar on the charge of wilfully murdering Emma Butcher. Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of Nowgate, stated that the prisoner was in such a state of mind as to render her in capable of understanding the charge. The learned judge then ordered her to be detained in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. Joseph Gairdelli, Timothy Nolan, and Edward Cane were indicted for feloniously wounding William Paul with intent to murder him. The prosecutor and the prisoners it appeared had formerly had a quarrel, and on the 12th of August the pri soners were standing at the corner of the Euston-road and Tottenham-court-road when the prosecutor came up and the old quarrel was resumed, and during which the pro secutor was stabbed in the stomach, as he alleged, by Gairdelli. The injury was of a very serious description, and the prosecutor was conveyed to the University, Hospital, where ho remained some time, his life being in considerable danger. The jury acquitted Cane and Nolan, but found Gairdelli guilty Tho learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to 10 years' penal servitude. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Henry Hißyer, 27, cabman, was charged with feloniously killing John Edward Foster. The deceased, who was 51 years of age, was walking along, and intended to crops the road at the corner of Eastcheap, in front of a van, when a Hansom, driven by the prisoner, came suddenly up and knocked him over the fore wheel of the van, which before he could be rescued passed over him, and the injuries were such that he even tually died. After hearing the evidence the jury were of opinion that it was not sufficient to warrant a conviction, and the prisoner was accordingly acquitted. John Skegglethorp, carman, was indicted for causing the death of an infant child. The prisoner was a carman, and while driving along the Romford-road, a perambulator which he had not observed in the road was overturaed,and the poor child who was in it killed. After hearing evidence, the learned Judge said it did not appear from the evidence that there was any neglect proved against the defendant. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Frederick Doggan, 30, labourer, a strange, melancholy looking man, was indicted for feloniously and unlawfully attempting to set fire to divers matters and things in the dwelling-house of William Cooper. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Straight prosecuted. It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the post-office, 26, Oxford-street, and for some time previously to the appre hension of the prisoner there was found in the letter-box matches partly burnt, burnt paper, and straw. In conse quence of this the police were set upon the watch, and they saw the prisoner go up to the post-box, having matches and some straw in his hand. Mr. Gibson, the gaol surgeon, was examined, and said that he was clearly insane, and not responsible for his ac tions. The jury then found the prisoner not guilty, on the ground of insanity. Arthur Godfrey, 25, clerk, a well-dressed man, pleaded guilty to an indictment for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Blott, and stealing .£1 3s. ad. Mr. Lilley, who appeared for tho prisoner, offered a few remarks in mitigation of sentence. The prisoner was again indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-hour) of Elizabeth Strong, and stealing a watch, two brooches, and other articles. - - Mr. Cooper prosecuted. In this case the prosecutor Eyed at New-cross, and about a week before the robbery the prisoner was seen by two ladies near the prosecutrix's house. When the prisoner was taken into custody a quantity of housebreaking imple ments were found in his possession. Sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) BIGHWAY ROBBERY. Michael Bryan, 22, labourer, a ferocious -looking man, was indicted for highway robbery. The prosecutrix, a lady named Johanna Heffernan, was walking along Shoreditch when the prisoner came in front of her and made a snatch at her watch chain, and succeeded in getting it away, and then rau off into a very notorious part of the neighbourhood and escaped. He was, however, apprehended by the police about a week afterwards. The prisoner conducted his own case, and cross examined the witnesses at great length. • The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude, and to receive 40 lashes with a thing commonly called a " cat." MARKETS.—This Day. MARK LANE. Tho quantity of home-grown wheat received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise and by land carriage was only moderate, but, generally speaking, in good condition. Tho transactions in all qualities were to a moderate extent at Monday's advance in the currencies. We were well but not heavily supplied with foreign wheat. The demand ruled steady, and the late advance in prices was supported. Floating cargoes of grain commanded full prices, with a fair inquiry. The supply of foreign barley was only moderate, and the show of English produce was trifling. All kinds were in steady request at full prices. Malt was firm on former terms. In oats a fair average business was passing at about late rates. The supply was chiefly composed of foreign parcels. Both beans and peas were firm in price, with a fair de mand. The quantity on offer was small. Flour was lirin at Monday's quotations. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEx. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

ALARMING FIRE AT WIIITECHAPEL.—L ate last night a fire, which at ono time threatened Tory serious consequences, happened in the extensive premises belong ing to Mr. Lazarus, a rag merchant, situate at No. 90, Whitechapel road. The discovery was made by a police constable of the II division, who raised an immediate alarm and sent off for proper assistance. In the course of a few minutes conductors Samuel Wood and W. Rickett arrived with the Royal Society's escape, and were followed by numerous land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co. Plenty of the East London Company's water having been procured, the firemen had the stand-pipes placed in Beck and Co.'s hydrants, and by that expedient they wore enabled to get the fire extinguished without calling tho engines into operation, but not before some tons weight of the stock in trade were destroyed.

Since it was last mentioned the parties had been before Vico-Chancellor Stuart, and he had sanctioned the children residing out of the jurisdiction of the court. The next step will be for Miss Gunning, the guardian, to present a memorial to the Crown, and there is every expec tation that the right to the forfeited property will be waived in favour of the children. The property left by Dr. Warder amounts in the whole to a considerable sum, and on the conclusion of the proceedings it is satisfactory to believe that it will come to the family. The chief clerk signed the necessary documents in the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. STEALING HOPS.—James Wood, a packing-case manu facturer, was charged, beforo Aldo min Lusk, M.P., with stealing 171bs. of hops. . . . Watson, one of the City detectives, said that about seven o'clock last evening he saw the prisoner in Cooper-road, Tower-hill, and had noticed him about the neighbourhood before. 'rho prisoner was talking to another man at the door of Messrs. Toolony and Duggots, hop merchants, in that road. The prisoner .went away, but returned, and he saw him speaking to. a man. named Ellwell at the door of the same premises, and then take from behind the door a sack, which ho threw into a cart that was waiting at the Prino Albert public-house, about 20 yards distant. He immediately jumped up on the cart, and caught hold of the prisoner, who' endeavoured to escape on the opposite side of the cart. He opened the bag and found it contained the hops in question. He told the prisoner he was a police officer, and ho (prisoner) said, " It is not stolen and I have got a receipt for it in my pocket. I bought it of,a man this morning at Tower-hill." He then took him to the station, and, on searching him, found receipts for hops for 1852, 1853, and 1854. He said he had got a receipt for the hops, and that he had them in the cart all the day. Mr. Alderman Lusk said that was very important ad mission on the part of the prisoner, because you saw him take the bag. Watson said that he found also a small parcel of hops on ;he prisoner. The prisoner contradicted tho officer as to having stated to hini that he had had the hops in the cart all day. Mr. P. William Dugget said that he was in partnership with Mr. Toolony, who was then out of town, and he knew nothing of the transaction except from the police con stable. He could not identify the hops as being the pro perty of the firm. They were mixed, some being old and some new, and they had both on their premises. He was not preparod to express au opinion as to the complicity of Elwell in the transaction, but after the evidence of the officer he felt bound as a duty to the public to prosecute him. His partner had received information about a fort night ago, to the effect that some hops had been removed from the promises without permission., Ellwile, who was in the court, was then placed, and Mr. Daggett formally repeated his statement. The priso ner Elwell was in the service of the firm for three months; she received an excellent character from him. He was foreman, and had to attend to the warehouse, but it formed no part of his duty to sell any of the hops. George Taylor, a wheelwright, said that he had known Wood for several years, and had done some jobs for him. Last evening, about half-past six o'clock, Wood asked him to come with his cart to Cooper's road, as he wanted him to remove something. Ile went to the Prince Albert pub lichouse to light his pipe, and was not there more than about three minutes, and when he went out he found Wcod in the custody of the officer. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday, and the worthy alderman refused, tho application of Wood to be admitted to bail. • MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ROBBERY 01 , A FEMALE.—George Nash, a follow who hangs about the Haymarket, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following violent robbery : Eliza Connell, a servant, residing at 12, Ferdinand place, Haverstock-hill, said that about 10 o'clock last night she sat on a door-step in Jermyn-street for a few minutes, feeling unwell, when the prisoner and another man came up to her. The prisoner grasped her tightly by the throat, and then tore open the bosom of her dress and took her purse containing half a sovereign and other moneys from her. She called "police," and as soon as the constable came up the prisoner gave her the purse back. The prisoner said that seeing the purse lying on the ground he picked it up and gave it to the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix said that was not true—the prisoner took the purse from her. Police-constable Gordon, 33 C, said that on hearing cries of "police" he went to Jermyn-street, and saw the prosecutrix, .the prisoner, and another man struggling together. As soon as he got up to them prisoner handed the prosecutrix a purse, and the other man ran away. He found the prosecutrix's dress torn open, and she said the prisoner and the other man had robbed her. The prisoner said be know nothing about it, and that it was the other man who had taken the prosecutrix's purse. On searching the prisoner he found a cabman's badge which had been lost since June 1860, and a ring like a "knuckle duster." The prisoner said he picked up the badge yesterday, and intended to take it to Scotland-yard. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. AN ANTI-TEETOTALLER.—Ann Blades, a woman who has frequently been charged at this court, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with being drunk and dis orderly. The case having been proved by a constable of the E division, who stated that he saw the prisoner drunk and disorderly in Cavondish street, and that she was obliged to be caried on a stretcher to George-street station, a distance of about a mile and a half. Inspector Hubbard, E Division, handed a lot of charges against the prisoner to the Magistrate, from which it ap peared that the prisoner, in 1863, was charged four times at this court, in 1864 once, in 1865 five times, in 1866 seven times (on one of these occasions being fined 40s. in the morning at this court, and the same afternoon fined 40s. at Marylebone); and it is believed'that she has been charged equally as many times at Marylebone Police Court. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for seven days. WESTMINSTER. RUNNING OYER AN OLD GENTLEMAN.—James Gaunt, a cab-driver, was brought before Mr. Dayman, charged with running over an old gentleman and breaking hie leg, be sides inflicting other injury, the defendant being at the time of the occurrence drunk. . A policeman said that at 12 last night he was on duty at Knightsbridge, and came up just as the defendant had run over an old gentleman. Defendant, after the occur mice, drove off, but returning shortly afterwards to a standing-place in the neighbourhood witness found that ho was so drunk that he could with difficulty keep his seat, and took him into custody. Witness had previously conveyed the old gentleman to St. George's Hospital. A night porter or watchman at Hankey and Nicholls, Knightsbridge, said he witnessed the accident. The old gentleman was crossing the road from Charles-street when the defendant's horse knocked him down, and the wheels of his cab (a hansom) passed over his legs. Ho was unable to rise, and witness, assisted by others, conveyed him to the pavement. Mr. Dayman—How fast was the cabm an g oi ng ? Witness — Five or six miles an hour. Defendant—You could have helped it well at the pac e you were Defendant was reman ded for a week. accepted. going had you been sober. Bail was The Distress In Cornwall. The Western Morning _News gives a very interest ing account of the condition of the Cornish miners. Our contemporary says that the several thousand minors who have left the country during the past year are physi ca ll y, soc ially, and morally the best of their class, and are also the more skilful in their em ployment. Seven hundred miners have quitted the St. Just district alone, and have betaken themselves to the coal fields of South Wales and the North of England. More than twice that number have left the Marazion, Camborne, and Redruth districts for Ame tahnedll'ia v e n i s t t . o ck m district v e t o e m r i a g i l r w a taoyd without Ame rica and Aust ra li a. A large number have gone from in n le E ay s i s n e g x a shilling for their wives apd families, for the simple reason that there was nothing to leave. These have had to depend upon the kindness of friends and the forbearance of the shopkeepers, who themselves have in many instances been reduced to insolvency through the impossibility of obtaining payment from the ir debtors. From one savings bank alone £ BOO pe r month has been drawn out for about a year. Of the able-bodied miners who remain in Cornwall s ome have taken to the pilchard fishery, some to farm labour. Those who have continued in their old em ployments have too ofte n been earning less than £2 a month. A large number of the women and girls who work on the surface of the mines have mines, and a pat he tic story is told of th r e e y oun g wom en who burst into tears of joy when promised baeweneetkh,rsowwonrko.ut ofOthers, employ by the stoppage of the less happy, are to be found b r eaking stones upon , the highway. The small traders Yet—and this is si gnificant of the independence of the Cornish rialirsc sufferinghpeople nearly as much as the miners. --there is no great increase of persons h ou ses. And, together with the independence, there dependent upon the rates, or in the work is great self - restraint. it The Cornish miner in his distress neither howls like a frantic Irishman, nor curses with the bitter oaths of the drunken collier of the black country ; he patiently endures hunger, and cheerily works on in hope of brighter days." There are two favourable cir cumstances in the midst of all this depression and gloom. The miners who have emigrated to Australia and California are sending home considerable sums to their wives, and during the past fortnight one post-office alone has paid £4OO in orders received from miners. The other circumstance is the im portant advance which has taken place during the re.ent month in the price of tin and copper. This 1 3 - is already producing effect in the increasing number of hands now being taken on at the mines. So it is to be hoped that the worst is over. It is greatly to the credit of the Cornishmen that we have not heard until the crisis of their sufferings is past how grievous those sufferings have been. SPORT IN IGENCE. BRECON RACES-TUESDAY.

We regret to state that a telegraphic message was received from Peterhead, late on Saturday evening, by ex-Bailie Ycaman, to the effect that the Alert had arrived from Cumberland Straits, with 60 tons of oil ; that there had been no passage this season through Melville Bay ; and that the steam whalers were all in Cumberland Straits clean in the middle of August. The Alert, which brought this news, is a sailing brig, the property of one of the Peterhead Wintering Companies, and would sail from Peter head either late last autumn or early in the spring. She must have made her fishing in the early spring, as it is only then, or in the autumn, that fish are to be got in Cumberland Straits. The news brought by the Alert is the worst that ever reached Dundee at this advanced season of the year, as it applies to no less than 11 large steam whalers (including one that hails from Kirkcaldy) connected with this port, being the finest and most valuable fleet that ever left the Tay for a whaling expedition. Each of the vessels carries on an average 60 men, so that between 600 and 700 families, irrespective of the owners, are directly interested in the result of the year's fishing. The best fishing is generally that in Pond's Bay, but it is over in July, and the vessels not being able to get through Melville Bay have not succeeded this year in reaching the favourite fishing ground. We understand that after the Alert left they might go north to what is called the Rock Head fishing on the west side of Davis's Straits, if the state of the ice permitted, and there they might get a few whales. After that the practice is to wind up the fishing at the end of the season in Cumberland Straits, where they were when the Alert left ; and there are seasons when a fair fishing can be made at that place, but it is a chance. As we have said, the best fishing ground is at Pond's Bay, and the fishing generally takes place there be tween the 10th and the 25th of July. It is on this fishing that the most reliance is generally placed, but Melville Bay being impenetrable on account of the ice, the vessels have not reached the ground this year at all. When the Alert left, the best of the season, taking the average of years, was gone ; but, of course, it was just possible that the vessels might still catch some fish at Rock Head or Cumberland Straits. In order to show how much interested Dundee is in the results of the fishing, we give the following list of steam whalers that left for Davis's Straits this spring :—The Tay, Capt. Birnie ; the Camperdown, Capt. Bruce • the Victor, Capt. Walker ; the Polynia, Capt. IsTicholl ; the arwhal, Capt. Sturrock ; the Wildfire, Capt. Souter ; the Alexander, Capt. Walker ' • the Esquimaux, Capt. Yule ; the Intrepid, Capt. Deuchars ; the Ravens craig, Capt. Allen ; and the Erik, Capt. Jones. — Dundee Advertiser. 2 - WESTON'S MUSIC HALL.—The latest novelty produced by the now proprietors of this attractive place of entertainment is the band of " Star Minstrels," eighteen in number, whose performances of negro melodies, both vocal and instrumental, are of great excellence and merit. The "funny" man of the troupe is Mr. West, who has achieved a great reputation by his particularly laughable effusions known as stump oratory, and certainly he seems to improve every evening of his performance. We have had many highly-talented troupes of Ethiopian Melodists, but it has been left to the spirit of the new proprietors of this favourite place of amusement to introduce the largest as well as one of the best that has ever ap peared in the metropolis. The audiences attracted by the performance of the " Star Minstrels" are invariably larger than the spacious and elegant hall can accommodate, and therefore to hear the performance of the talented troupe. early attendance is absolutely necessary. There are various other attractions of a very entertaining descrip tion, and the high class entertainment now offered to the public shows most unmistakably that M essrs. Sweasy and Holland are determined to secure talent for their numerous patrons at any price. 1" she replied, " is A DELICATE GHOST.—“ spell , out to shape, like a kinder gas, which blows , us I."

"Why," she said, "sperit and air is like ilo and water, and won't mix ; you can stir 'em as hard as you like, but they won't mix.' " Oh, indeed 1" said I again, puzzlin' my head for another question. For mind you, youngster, whenever you meet with a ghost, ask 'em questions, and never leave off. They're compelled to answer you out of politeness, and I will say ghosts aro pretty mannered as a rule. But once let 'em out of harness, and they always run to their own stones, like a horse to his stage, and there's no stopping 'em ; and of all bores, I gueSs a ghost's life tops 'em, they're all so long and dreffal melancholy. But she was politeness itself, was this young sperit. Seeing me a puzzling what to say next, she asked me with unusual de licacy whether I had any more questions to ask her, and just at that moment one rushed into my head with such impetuosity as knocked my pipe out of my mouth. " \Val, as you ask me," I said, "I have just one or two or so. You were speakin' of lying up in a table. What did you mean by that ? Were you sick ?" "No," she said, " that isn't the reason ; wo sperits are never sick. It was because I hadn't any clothes olt."—Dickens's "All the Year Round." THAMES VALLEY.
