Arthur Comerford (10), and James Comerford (eight),were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging. Joseph Bunco, 119 C, said that on Saturday evening he saw tho three children in Piccadilly begging. Having seen them beg of several gentlemen, he took them into custody. He had been to the place whore the children lived in Bed fordbury, but the parents were not at home, and he was told by some persons residing there that if he searched all the publichouses in the neighbourhood he would be sure to find" the father of Mead. The Comorfords told him a most pitiable tale—that their mother ran away from them two or three years ago, that their father, who never did any work, sent them out to bog, and to bring home whatever they could ; and the elder of the two told him that because he only brought home 11id. on Thursday night his father gave him a good boating, at the same time showing the marks about his body and legs. Mead also stated that his father was in the habit of beating him if ho did not bring home as much money as he ex pected. Mead said that all he did was to say, "Please give me a copper." The Comerfords said they had " lights to sell." Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was heartbreaking work. He would remand the children and see whether anything could not be done with the father of Mead, and the others would be sent to some institution intended for castaways. THAMES OUTRAGE AT TIIE TRINITY HOUSE BALLAST OFFICE, Michael Laskin, a ballast heaver, a native of Ireland, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with committing an outrage at the office of the Trinity House Corporation, Ratcliff-cross, and assaulting Mr. Thomas Tigh Flinn ruler and superintendent of the establishment. Mr. Charles young, solicitor, stated that the prisoner had committed a premeditated and murderous outrage, and without provocation. The defendant had been employed in the ballast office, which was under the control of the Corporation of the Trinity House, and was discharged ten days ago for drunkenness and neglect of duty. Since then the defendant had abused Ad threatened Mr. Flinn five times in the streets, and hinted that he would take his life. On Saturday evening, at a quarter before six o'clock in the evening, the prisoner came to the office and interrupted the business. The language made use of was fearful. The prisoner was ejected from the office and made considerable resistance. About ten minutes afterwards, and while the complainant was looking out of the window, the prisoner returned and took a brick from his pocket, which he throw at Mr. Flinn, who fortuhately put his head aside and evaded the murderous blow. The brick went through a pane of glass, struck a panne], redounded, and fell in the office. The prisoner was secured, and on being secured other bricks were found upon him. Mr. Flinn confirmed the statement of his solicitor, and said the prisoner had been continually drunk, and that he was obliged to discharge him. The prisoner stated on Saturday night that he intended to do for him and have revenge. The prisoner, in defence, said he was troubled wall giddiness in his head for a long time, and that caused a his troubles. Mr. Partridge commented at some length on the serious nature of the outrage committed by the prisoner, and said if ho had struck Mr. Flinn he would have done him much harm. He ordered that the prisoner should find good bail to keep the peace for six months. The prisoner was sent away in the prison van to gaol. WESTMINSTER.

TiONEy MARKET AN :, COlvnizßuiAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE o'CLocx. There is a very general expectation that the rate of discount cannot be much longer maintained at its present price -3 per cent. The uncertainty prevents bankers and brokers negotiating even the best short-dated paper at the official minimum, and the consequence is that the greater number of per- SODS requiring accommodation apply to the Bank, where assistance can be obtained upon easier terms. The third report of the directors of the East London Bank states that the profits for the half year e nding June 30, after providing for all bad and doubtful debts, deducting rebate of interest on cur rent bills, and writing off an adequate proportion of the amounts standing to the debit of bank premises a nd Preliminary expenses, enable the directors to re- C ommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per a nnum free of income tax. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the 13 rnk Otacgo was held to-day. The report stated that the gross profits for the year, after allowing for bad and doubtful debts, amount to £29,490 48 Bd. 1.0111 which it is necessary to deduct £l,OBO, Os. 10. the balance carried from the last accoent, £13,623 10 e. fo.i the expenses of managemen in London and fo r Zealand, and £6,145 , 5 5. 11d . f or i nterest paid l e r money during the high rates ruling in 1864, leav ing a n e t prof i t of £8,641 75. 11d. which the i u o irec tors recommend sh a ll b e appropriated as fol- Wet :—£soo in reduction of preliminary ex penses, £6OO iu 4 paym ent of travelling expenses, ') New Zealand, and £7,334 15s. 11d. towrrds a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent on the capital called up to 31st of December last, free of income tax, and that the remainder, £206 12s. becarried forward to profit and loss new account. At the first ordinary meeting of shareholders of Reuter's Telegram Company, the report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that there was a pro fit of £6,645 10s. 11d. for the six months ending the 30th June last. The directors, therefore, declare an interim dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. on the capital as paid up, which will absorb £6ll 25., and after payment of all charges and writing off £2OO from the preliminary expenses, there will remain a balance of £2,442 5s 2d to be carried forward to the next account. It is announced by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company that in consequence of the a pp r oaching completion of the company's system of railways the rates of interest on debentures are re duced to 5 per cent. per annum on debentures for two or three years, and 4f per cent. per annum on debentures for five or seven years.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very quiet, and prices had a drooping ten dency; the supplies on offer were moderate. For barley, oats, beans, and peas the inquiry was soupwhat restricted, yet very little change took place in the quotations. Flour sold slowly, at late rates. The Continental markets have continued quiet at about stationary prices. At New York a comparatively exten sive business has been done in wheat and flour for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 8,785 quarters of wheat, 6,889 barley, 61;354 oats, 720 beans, 3,681 linseed, 80 sundry seeds, 140 sacks and 1,100 barrels of flour. A small supply of wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, both from Essex and Kent; but the condi tion of nearly the whole of the produce was good. The accounts at hand respecting tho crops being favourable, tho trade - for all qualities of home-grown wheat was in a slug gish state. The business done was chiefly in small parcels, at about tho rates of Monday last ; but to have concluded sales of any magnitude, factors would havo boon compelled to accept a reduction in price from this day se'ennight of ls. per qr. A portion of the supply was left unsold. A moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. The trade, both for American and continental produce, was slow. Good and fine samples changed hands at full prices; otherwise, the quotations had a drooping tendency. Float ing cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, and prices were fairly supported. The market was well supplied with foreign oats, but scantily with home-grown produce. The oat trade was dull, and prices were rather lower than bn Monday last. Beaus —of which there was a slightly increased supply on offer —were dull and somewhat lower in value. The supply of English barley on sale was very limited, and the quotations must be considered nominal. Foreign barley—of which there was a fair supply on offer —moved off slowly, at late rates. Malt was in slow request. Prices wore unaltered from Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMP.

The condition of the beasts and sheep was very middling ; nevertheless, sales progressed steadily at quite last week's quotations. Tho arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate ; but there was a slight im provement in the quality of those from Lincolnshire, Nearly all breeds were in moderato request at prices about equal to Monday last, and at which a fair clearance was effected. Tho receipts from Scotland were good for the time of yeai ; but those from Ireland were very limited. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,800 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 245 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers. The show of English sheep was again very limited, but in somewhat improved condition. On the whole, the mut ton trade ruled steady at full quotations. Downs and half- , breds sold at 6s 2d to 6s 4d per 81bs. We had a dull sale for lambs, and prices had a drooping tendency. Tho quotations ranged from 6s to 7s per 81bs. Calves wero in fair average supply and moderato re quest, aelate rates, namely, from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs. We had a slow inquiry for pigs, on former terms.

The speak ing at elections has, during the co n t es t w hi c h i s no closing,been much better now than on any previous occa sion, and we are not sure that in this style of oratory Mr. Gladstone bears away the palm as decidedly as within the walls of Parliament. But whether he has spoken better than anybody else or not, certain it is that he has awakened a deeper interest. The new and romantic position he assumed when, chosen and approved by the intellect of his constituents but rejected by their mere numbers, he suddenly flung himself upon a new constituency, and in two days carried all before him, naturally attracted sym pathy and awakened a' new interest in his suc cess. In his election . speeches Mr. Gladstone has thoroughly demolished tha cavils which have been raised against his • finance, and stated more clearly and definitely than ever before his position with regard to Reform. He is quits willing to be a Reformer, provided the country is really i n earnest aboutit-lprovided the measure is not sudden or sweeping—and under these conditions he is in favour of the admission of some part of the working classes. We hope that these statements, so guarded and so modified, will undeceive those who see in Mr. Glad stone the future Radical leader. His celebrated declaration as to the presumable fitness of all men for the franchise until that fitness has been success fully impeached he now represents as a mere abstract speculation, capable of any conceivable modification in practice, and, therefore, of no more importance as a guide to his conduct than any opinion he may hap pen to hold as to the course of the tides or the pro cession of the equinoxes. He still adheres to a verti cal lowering of the franchise, but under so many restrictions and qualifications as to deprive his advocacy of any practical value. Mr. Gladstone's speech at the declaration of the poll on Saturday does not add much to our information either on general politics or the particular views of the speaker. Very characteristically, and no doubt with the utmost sincerity, he adopts as his political motto the usual exhortation of the police man when the traffic begins to stagnate—" Just keep moving." We have thus formally announced from leading members of the present Cabinet the principle of "rest" as thedoctrine of Lord Russell, and the principle of " motion" as the doctrine of Mr. Gladstone. We cannot agree entirely with either of these philosophers, any more than we can say with one Greek philosopher " that everything is one and immutable," or with another " that every thing flows and is changeable." There is a time for all things ; a time for rest and a time for motion. Neither rest nor motion is good in itself, but only with reference to the object we have in view ; and certainly of all the kinds of policy that can be sug gested for the adoption of this country, we know none so little entitled to favour as what we may call a fidgety policy—a policy of motion for the sake of motion and nothing else, a con tinual stirring of the pot when there is nothing in it that requires to be stirred. When we see an attainable end before us, we ought not " just to keep moving," but to push on with all our strength, as well knowing the vis inertia which in this country has always to be overcome before the most reasonable principle can be established, if that principle only happens to be a new one. When we have no such end in view we confess we are not much shocked at the maxim which Mr. Gladstone looks down upon with so much contempt. "Things are very very prosperous ; why can't you be con tent ?" Mr. Gladstone descends in a shower of graceful compliments to all his fellow-candidates, successful or unsuccessful ; and, like Dido, being not ignorant of defeat, he is able to condole and sympathise with the defeated. He thanks every body—he thanks the Committees who have worked for him, he thanks the Liberals who have supported him, and the Tories who have forgotten their party prejudices to take his side, and he thanks his opponents for their forbearance and modera tion. The hardest thing said of him by the local press was that he was an " erratic politician." This disorder, according to Mr. Gladstone, is not peculiar to himself. The Liberals, he says, contend that they are more Conservative than the Conservatives, the Conservatives that they are more Liberal than the Liberals. Th4o is some truth in this epigrammatic observation, and as far as it is true it is the very best illustration of the substantial agreement, not, indeed, on ques tions of party politics, but of principle, which is established between reasonable men of all parties. The word " Conservative" has really changed its meaning. In the old Tory times it meant the preser vation of whatever exists because it exists, while the term "Liberal" iniplied a desire to submit ex- isting institutions to a more searching test than a mere existence. But the Tories have given up arguing for things as they are because they are, and have thus really come over to the Liberal side. Everybody is now-a-days a Liberal in the sense in which that term would have been used 30 years ago. But the testing of institutions by abstract principle shows many things to be good as well as many things to be bad, and thus the most determined Liberal must also be in many things a most determined Conservative. Every one must admire the spirit in which Mr. Gladstone terminates the exertions of the last active and eventful week. We will not enter into the question started by himself, how far he is justly entitled an " erratic politician ;" we wish at the present moment, when he is entering on a new career, to make a new start and banish from our own minds, and as far as possible from public recollection, the occasional blemishes which it has been our duty to regret in one so gifted. But we would remind Mr. Gladstone just as .he is taking his new departure in political life that many things have been excused in him in consideration of the great difficulties of his situation, and the impossi bility of conciliating the duties of a practical states man with the demands of such a constituency as the University of Oxford. Mr. Gladstone now repre sents a body which is no bad epitome of the Eng lish nation, and no unfaithful reflex of his own mind. South Lancashire is eminently complex and Multiform, and Mr. Gladstone . will not have the excuse henceforth that he is turned aside from his natural bias and principles by the untoward consti tuency which he represents. He will have more liberty, but for that very reason a heavier responsi bility. His fate is now in his own hands, and he make has a caree r b e f ore hi m w hi c h he may eas bright or as d ar k as th a t o f an y statesman in the long annals of the English Constitution. HERALD.—The " fortnight at Wimbledon ,, has come to an end, and again will the now famous common resume its ordinary appearance till in July next it shall become once more a tented field, with its " Shop-street," and " Gossip-row," its' Glen Albyn," and its " London-square"--in short, its hearty, jovial, c amp life, the love for w hi c h h as been so strikingly developed by the Volunteers of the United Kingdom. Every year this Wimbledon encampment grows larger ; and the few courageous Volunteers who in the earlier time of the meeting's existence boldly set the fashion of living for a fortnight under canvas, have found so many fol lowers that these thoroughly urban luxuries-- a theatre, a club, and a drawing -room have been rendered necessary institutions. Everybody now admits that this National Rifle Association is a success—a success of much the same character as that of the Volunteer force itself. The association has had to pass through difficult phases of being, to struggle hard to keep its head above w a t er and overcome that vis inertia which mostly stands in the way of co-operation between bodies separated by distance. Those who take an interest in the association and its proceed ings can well recollect how not only the industrious Lord Elcho, but the Duke of Cambridge himself, had to urge upon country volunteer corps the pro priety of supporting the central institution, and thus consolidating, as it were, the so-called " move ment." The provincial corps, however, were slow to take the hint, till they began to see that the asso ciation was a strong healthy body, with plenty of natural vitality, and every determination to' fight against neglect. These facts settled, the National Rifle Association found subscriptions •flowing in, and valuable prizes being confided to its hands ; not the least of which is a new The meetings of last week had very little effect on the market operations with regard' to forthcoming events. Success won the Trial Stakes at Nottingham very easily, although Brahma was mode the favourite. In the suc ceeding race, the Bradgate handicap, the talent at length Selected the right one in Mou2sey, who beat The Beadle, The Tippler, and three others in a canter ; but in the event that followed, won by Gownsman, they suffered severely, as most of them had the temerity to bet 7 to 4 on Attache, notwithstadding his being very thin and tvorn-out look ing, which, considering how often he has run of late, is not surprising. A wretched field, both in number and quality , ran for the Nottinghamshire Stakes, as it comprised only Dunkeld, Auditor, Veluti, Spring Gun, and Lady Bohun. Spring Gun, the sapient public got it into their heads, was a "good thing," the consequence of which was he opened the favourite, but when seen not to be in any thing like the form he was in at Liverpool, he gradually retrograded in the betting, when the Hampton victor, Auditor, became the favourite. And he made a much more fivourable " reckoning " foi his noble owner than at Stamford, where the distance was to o l ong f or h im, as. he had the race in hand all the way, being very little inter fered with by either Spring Gun or Dunkeld, neither of whom seemed to like the hard ground, especially the latter, who never was in finer trim. The Robin Hood Stakes cut into very small dimensions, as only three ran—King Hal Aunt Polly, and Actcea, the latter an extraordinary good: looking filly by Stockwell out of Elects, who 'was very backward. High odds was betted on King Hal, who won "in a walk." The Portland Plate prodUced six runners, of whom two alone—ollerton and Lady Bohun—were backed for money, slight odds being betted on the former. He, how ever, failed to run up to the form he showed at Stamford, as Lady Bohun beat him Very cleverly, as did the Iris gelding, whom Mr. Barber's filly was only able to beat by a neck., The Nursery Plata was contested by nine starters, and it took the talent some time before they could make a selection, when they pitched upon 'William Pitt and Miss Roland. The former, however, proved quite unworthy of their affection ; but happily the "second string" just got through, winning by downright gameness by a head from Viper, who was near doing a good thing for both her owner and the Ring. In going to the starting-post an ugly accident befell Little Carroll. Pretty Queen, who was restive, suddenly swerved aside, and jumping the rails, fell, giving her jockey *so severe a shaking that it prevented his riding again during the afternoon ; but we are glad to state, nevertheless, that this most meritorious light weight re ceived no injury sufficient to prevent his reappearance in the pigskin during the ensuing week at Goodwood. Like the Nottinghamshire Handicap, there was a great falling off for the Chesterfield Handicap, which brought no more than five of those weighted to the starting-post. As those, however, included the two Stamford opponents, Privateer and Helen, considerable interest attached to the result. They mot on exactly the same terms as for the Burghley Stakes, but the distance being three-quarters of a mile less, was held to be so favourable for Helen that most of the cognoscenti went for, and at one time she threatened to become a better favourite than Mr. Savile's horse, who, however, had the call at last. And following out the same tactics adopted at Stamford, Loates came through with him, making the pace good all the way, and won rather cleverly by three-quarters of a length, Helen boating Tippler—who looked very like win ning at the distance—by a head only. The meeting of Robin Hood and Gretna, at Winchester, in the Biennial Stakes, was the principal attraction of the meeting; but even with the result of the Exeter Stakes fresh in recollec tion, and the great ease with which Gretna carried off the Grange Park Stakes, did not encourage the fielders to take odds at all "kindly," seeing that Robin Hood had a 31b untried allowance, and the distance was a furlong further than at Newmarket, with a stiff hill to got up besides. Accordingly the Hurstbourne " crack" had it all his own way, both in the Ring and in the race, which was never in jeopardy—being nothing more than the exercise canter Lord Portsmouth considered it would be for his horse, whom, had he not been very fresh, or had he exhibited any ill effects of his four races within eight days at Stockbridge and Newmarket, he would have reserved for his autumn engagements, for which he will now be " put by." The most .important race at Southampton was the Stone ham Park Stakes, which Mr. Pitt, although carrying a 71b. penalty, won in a canter. Oxone took up the running, and was soon leading four or five lengths, and as Fordham and Adams on the two favourites were " at" their horses after crossing the tan road (half-way,) 100 to 10 was offered on the leader in rising the hill ; but compounding at the end of half a mile—her extreme course—she had not a struggle left, when Mr. Pitt (who had previously settled The Mule caught her near the top by dint of hard riding on Ford ham's part (who admitted that ho never rode behind such a beginner,) and finishing like a lion, the favourite won the most exciting race of the meeting by four lengths, Ozone beating The Mule, who was not ridden out, by the same distance. The others were never in it. The Goodwood meeting com mences to-morrow, and if the:weather keeps favourable is sure to draw a large number of distinguished visitors to the course. The Lavant Stakes will bring together Mr. Pitt,.Augnste, and The Primate. The latter two have been backed heavily for next year's Derby. But as public run ning is a more reliable guide than privato reputation, I shall certainly give the preference to Mr. Pitt. Tho Grat wicko Stakes, in tho absence of Breadalbane, will be won by Araucaria. As General Peel will likely be reserved for the Cup, and Claremont for the Stakes, Baragah will secure second the Four-yr-old Swe e p s t a k es .

There has been the usual amount of milking and swindling in connection with this race,that I should advise in future, on all large handicaps, to wait till the day of the race, and let the owners and trainers have all the milking and swindling among themselves, which would have the effect of turning the rogues out of training, and in the long run be the means of giving the public an honest run for their money. It is no use now-a -days selecting a horse on its performances, unless in weight-for-age races, where they generally run on their merits. Without going through the performances of the different horses engaged, 1 shall try and anticipate the judge in his decision by placing REDMIRE or SUSPICION 1 CLAREMON T 2 SPRITE 3 Gladiateur or Longdown will win the Drawing Room Stakes, White Duck the Sweepstakes of 300 Sovs for fil lies, and Archimedes the 300 Soya for colts.

GLADSTONE'S OXFORD ELECTION EXPENSES. —We understand that at a meeting of Mr. Glad stone's Oxford Committee it. was decided that the expense attending the late Oxford University. election should be borne by his friends, in accordance with precedent. The University election, as far as Mr. Gladstone is concerned may therefore be regarded as a model for other constitu encies, as the supporters of that gent leman have giN en weeks of their valuable time in his behalf, and have now adopted the dignified course of paying his expenses. BALMORAL.—We are sorry to learn that some person or persons have wilfully destroyed the tele graph wire which was erected some years ago for the transmission of messages to and from her Majesty the Queen during her residence at Balmoral. It is satisfactory to know that the police have som e information 'es to the guilty party, who, if found out, will be severely punished. Had the act been perpetr a t e d d ur i ng th e res i dence o f her Majesty at her Highland home, the result might have been exceedingly annoying.—Dientlee Advertiser.

In short, having weathered adversity, the prosperous time of the association has arrived, and the country justly looks upon it as the head and front of the Volunteer army, and one cause of that great proficiency in rifle shooting which is displayed not only at Wimbledon but at rifle ranges all over /the kingdom.

But so doubt: Ell was the aspect of affairs that not till the last momemt—indeed till Lord Elcho had actually informed his avdiefide that the prize could not be awarded—was the.. Enfield Wimbledon Cup assigned to the fortunate gd gentlem an who took the benefit of his opponents disqualification. Then the matter was settled by the second highest on the list suddenly yielding his claim and enabling Lord Elcho to make the distribution more immediately complete. In this friendly way the little disputes of the meeting were amicably met, and the compe tition of 1865 was so carried out as to leave behind an eager desire for the recurrence of the fortnight's 1866. camping out in SPORTING NOTES. 1863. iaca SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Da VICTORIA CLUB, MONDAY, 2 P.M.

This bankrupt was described us of various addresses, major in the 69th Foot, and to-day was appointed for a meeting of creditors. Tho debts are about £7,000, the principal claimant being the lion. Homo Browne, £2,196. A proposition by circular to pay 2s. in the pound had boon made, and it was generally understood that eventually the matter would be taken out of court. The bankruptcy is ascribed to insufficiency of income and heavy discounts paid upon loans. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE C. COLEMAN. This bankrupt has been frequently reported, and is quito exhausted. Mr. Coleman had been the manager of M. Blonain, and the debts are £40,000, with a deficiency of £19,900. Anotheradjournment was ordered. The Suspicious Death of a French Young Lady at St. John's -wood. l ADJOUR NED INQUIRY. This morning the jury previously impanollod re-assem bled before Dr. Lankester, at tho British Stores, New street, Portland-town, for further inquiry relative to tho death of Madlle. Marie Bullot, the young French lady who died at 28, Portland-terrace, St. John's-wood, after abor tion had been effected. This was the fourth meeting of the court. Mr. Motaue Williams, barrisr, represented rs. Prise°lla Oli n ver g , landlady of the house te in which the decea M sed died; and a gentleman was present to watch the case on behalf of some person, whose name was not given. The jury having answered to their names, Mr. Inspector Thomson, of the Detective Force, Scot land-yard, said that he had an application to make to tho court. The department in which he was engaged had re ceived important information relative to the case of the de ceased young lady, but owing to the dif f iculty of obtaining the witnesses at so early a time, he was instructed to apply fora further adjournment. The Coroner asked Mr. Thomson if a note had been shown to him whici had been sent to and opened at 28, Portland-terrace, and dated July 1. - Mr. Thomson said he had seen that note, and inquiries had been made respecting it. It had been written by a porter at Forge d'Allais, which was situated near Mont pelier and Mismos, in the department of the Garde. It was also near the Chemin de Fer du Midi, and adjacent to Marseilles. The note referred to some luggage belonging to the de ceased. The Coroner said that was very important, showing that the deceased had about that time been in the locality. He had written a note at the request of the mother of the deceased to France, informing her when the adjourned in quest would be held; but he understood that that she was not present, and further, he had not since heard from her. Mrs. Oliver said she did not believe it was her intention to attend. She (the mother) apprehended that there was some furniture, but such was not the ease. The French Consul had been to hor (witness), and ho had not made any mention of the mother's arrival. Mr. Thomson said he had been to the French Consul, and he mentioned nothing to him about her expected ar- rival. The Coroner said it appeared to him that as there was no property it was more than probable that she could not attend, or she would hove been present at that time. Ho had been informed that certain witnesses were to be exa mined, but owing to their being out of town they could not be communicated with in time for their appearance on that occasion. There was no doubt there was a great deal of evidence to be taken, so as to show who this young lady was. Nothing further could bo done at the present time, and he therefore proposed that they should then adjourn. The Court adjourned accordingly. PEAT AS A FUEL.—Latterly the question of the value of peat as an article of fuel has again been fully dis cussed in scientific quarters. It has been stated that there are 140,000 acres of peat in the neighbourhood of London, averaging from five to fifteen feet in depth, at present lying idle. The importance of utilising this material is therefore apparent,. and there seems little question that eventually it will be largely used.—Building News.: . - - The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.17 a per .£1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 .78. VV. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold ia thou' 1-lith per cent. dearer in rariii than in London.

It appeared that the petitioner had purchased the stock of a person named Benjamin Hutton, deceased, from his trustees, at a certain valuation. Tho purchasers paid the full amount demanded, but subsequently found that some pickles and other portions of the stock were unfit for use, and they were destroyed. He then filed a petition praying that an inquiry should be made in reference to the said portions of the stock, deciding the utmost that had been paid for them, and directing the said amount to be re funded to the petitioner out of bank annuities. The Vice- Chancellor made an order in conformity with the prayer of the petition from which the appeal was made by a per son beneficially interested in the estate of the deceased, on the ground that there had been no warranty given or fraud committed. Lord Turner, in delivering judgment, said that, although no warranty had been given, and no fraud was imputed, still, as the vendor knew that the goods were purchased for sale, thero had been some complaint about them pre viously, and that they turned out so bad that the inspector of nuisances desired them to be destroyed. Shortly after the purchase he thought the order was strictly just. Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that, although there might be some technical question raised in regard to the question, there could be no doubt as to the moral right of the petitioner for the redress he sought. The appeal was accordingly dismissed, but without costs. do? Ine" naDY Tiler nited ster B lame a of w ing Lestic table .
