Paraguay is likely ere long to become an impor tant commercial and finanei 11 customer of the United Kingdom, owing to her successful resistance under Marshal Lopez-of the attempt to conquer her by the Brazils, Buenos Ayres, and the Argentine Confederation generally. Paraguay is essentially an industrial country, and one of her most impor tant productions is cotton ; she has always pro duced cotton in sufficient quality for home pur poses; but trade of importance has been done for exportation; as the manufactured cotton goods of England and the United States with common fibre at 6d. per lb. would not encourage the Paraguayan farmer, yet the staple is of a very superior quality. Venezuela, the Brazils, Egypt, North Africa, Queensland, and several other coun tries tried their utmost to produce cotton when the American supply ceased ; and Paraguay, to prove the resources of the country and its cotton growing facilities, sent some handsome samples to the most available markets ; but in the middle of this new speculation there came the war with the allies. The River La Plata was bloc kaded, all communication with Europe and America was cut off, and in the two years' war it may be easily understood that all the cotton, woollen, and linen manufacturer have been vested for manufacturing purposes. President Lopez, nevertheless, has clothed his men, supported his people, and now, occording to the last advices, is comparatively at rest and confident of the result. Paraguay is determined to carry on the war to the very last. When the result of the interview between General Lopez and General Mitre was communi cated to the Paraguayan army by its young cem mander, the soldiers brok out in one shout of deri sion against their enemies, and repeated hurrahs for their country, its independence, and her Govern ment, and that they were wtlling to fight for " ten years," if needed, and to the very last man ; their success at Curupaity of course animated them still more, as only 200 men were lost there, when neaoly 10,000 of the allies were put hors de combat. The Paraguay army is well provided with ammunition, and has plenty to eat, as the crops of rice, maise, mandroca, papas, and sugar hade been very plentiful, and the coun try is full with cattle ; the only article they very probably might, if the war should last much longer, would be clothing ; the Government, therefore, has ardered to work up all the cotton in hand to cloth, paying fair prices for the goods. The Government has also opened factories for the manufacture of hem„ which abound in Paraguay. Several years ago machinery for all kinds of spinning purposes had been imported from England, but Paraguay did not then reckon that she herself would be her first customer for cotton raised for the European market, although she is not the first country where war and blockade have created branches of industry they did not possess before. Rumoured Arrival of Stephens in London. A circumstance has been communicated to the police authorities at Scotland-yard which leads to the belief that the notorious Head Centre, Stephens, is at this moment in London. The head organiser of the Fenian conspiracy is suspected to have arrived in the metropolis last Monday evening per rail, and as the presumed recognition was made by a gentleman of position, the police are now actively prosecuting their inquiries with the greatest activity. 1 [EXTENSIVE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.—The following fires were officially reported this morning : One of a very serious character took place in the immense range of premises belonging to Messrs. Paton and Charles fancy soap apd candle manufacturers, situate oa Bowl common. Several hours elapsed before the fire could bo extiLguished, and not before property valued at several thousands pounds sterling was destroyed. The origin of fire was unknown. A fire also took place in the premises of a crinoline and staymakor, situate No. 3, Queen's-ter race, Commercial-road, Limohouse. The fire was confined to the first floor. Another fire took place in the premises, of Mr. Singer, oilman, 1, Garibaldi-terrace, Bermondsey which partly destroyed the shop on the ground floor. A young woman was sentenced to death, at the Stafford assizes yesterday for child murder, but as the jury recommended her to mercy, it is not improbable that the sentence may bo commuted.

As yet nothing has been heard either by the military or police authorities of Liverpool relative to the projected despatch of a regiment of infantry to be stationed in the town. Yesterday some uneasiness was felt in Liverpool by the presence on 'Change of between 500 and 600 men, principally Irishmen, and of the lower class. It was at first reported that a " Fenian meeting" was on the lapis, but it afterwards appeared that the poor fellows wore for the most part cotton porters and others who were out of employment, in consequence of tho stagnation of trade, and who had massed themselves on 'Change in order to obtain sympathy and relief.

(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) COBBEN V. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case, which was expected to last the greater part of the day, was arranged in court, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff by consent for £5OO for injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendants' servants. (Before a Common Jury.) BALL V. AXTEN. This case was set down for hearing before a special jury, but there was no appearance on behalf of the de fendant. Mr. Pourle, Q.C., and Mr. 11. James were counsel for the plaintiff. • From the opening statement of the counsel it appeared that the plaintiff was a farmer, at Amersham-common, Buckinghamshire, and the defendant was a tailor of sport ing tastes, living in the same place. The alleged assault took place on the 2d of January last, under the circum stances developed in the subjoined evidence. Richard Ball said that he rented 20 acres of land at Amersham-common, which he cultivated himself, and for which ho paid £l5 a year. This land consisted principally of arable ground, and by his industry ho had considerably improved it. He suffered very much from his land being ridden over by huntsmen. On the day in question Lord Malvern and several huntsmen made their appearance on his land, but on his remonstrating with them they wont away. Shortly after a gentleman, whose name he under stood was Mr. Gurney, came up to his premises accompa nied by the defendant. He was determined not to allow the huntsmen to ride over his land again. Ho told Mr. Gurney so, but as that gentleman did not seem dis posed to go off his land, ho seized his horse by the bridle and insisted on knowing his name. The gen tleman refused to give it to him, and then Mr. Axten interfered. He requested Mr. Gurney to give him (Axton) his whip, and said ho would split open plaintiff's head. The plaintiff said he would not be deterred by threats, and refused to relinquish his hold of the horse. While the altercation was going on a small dog rushed out of the house and caught Mr. Axten by the trowsers, but he did not bite him, and he w as h ar mless. Mr. Axton became very excited, and snatching the whip from Mr. Gurney began to beat the dog. His wife, hearing the cries of the animal, came out of the house, and took up the dog in her arms. Mr. Axton desired her to lay it down, and on her refusal struck her with the handle of a whip which was made of buckhorn. lie added that the defendant wanted him to box him, but he said that he would meet him in another way. (Laughter.) Louisa Ball said she was the wife of the last witness, and corroborated the particulars of his testimony, so far as re lated to the assault on her by the defendant. She added that after'she was struck she became insensible, and still suffered from the effects of the assault, particularly when her hands became cold. She was unable to assist her hus band in the same way as previous to the assault. A medical gentleman, named Frouse, living at Amers ham Common, proved to having attended Mrs. Ball and to the extent of her injuries. Ho said that the defendant was what he was described, a tailor, but was more addicted to sporting than to following his business. Ito (defendant) used to follow the hounds, but it was on a horse lent him by a friend. (Laughter.) The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at £5O. S EIAR4 MARKETS, —This Day.

This was an action brought by the father of a young lady, named Redgrave, for compensation in damages for the injuries she sustained by a collision on the defendant's railway on the 30th March last. The defendants denied that their servants were guilty of any negligence, or that they were in any way liable for the accident. Mr. S. White, a certified medical man, said that ho at tended the family of Mr. Redgrave, who was a brazier, and kept a shop in Red Lion-square. On the 2d of April he was called in, and found Miss Redgrave, who was about 18, suffering severely from the effects of the acci dent. Her left cheek was much swollen, and she was in great pain on the left side, which was considerable. She told him that sho was suffering excruciating agony. He attended for about three months, and during that time she was affected with hysteria and convulsions, the result of the accident, previous to which she was a very healthy and robust young woman. She had recently a return of these attacks, and the injuries inflicted on her health were of a very serious character. Tho young lady and other witnesses were examined, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintff, damages £lOO. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) INFANT TRADERS IN THE CITY OF LONDON-IMPORTANT QUESTION. -SOLOMON Y. TYLER. This was an action to recover a sum of money for goods sold to the defendant. An Attorney, who appeared for the defendant, said that he would pay the costs of an adjournment, as ho wished to put in a special plea. llis Honour—What is the plea ? Attorney—A plea of infancy. His Honour—l cannot grant an adjournment for any such purpose. (To the plaintiff)—ls the defendant an in fant trader ? Plaintiff—He is a trader, atid carries on business in the City of London. These goods ware sold to him in the way of his trade. His Honour—There is a custom that has prevailed in the City of Loudon since the Norman Conquest under which an infant who trades there can be sued for goods supplied to him in the way of his trade, and I have held that an infant trader can be sued under these circumstances, in the same way that a married woman trading in the city of London can be sued as a fence sole. Whether the new Equity Jurisdiction Bill de prives the court of its power by turning it into a county court I am not going to decide ; but if you like to try the question you may go for a writ of prohibition on behalf of defendant. Defendant's attorney —I shall not do that. His Honour—l shall hold that defendant is liable to be sued as an infant trader in the City. Verdict for the Plaintiff, 'with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBORO UGII-S TREE T. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES AT LICENSED VICTUALLERS.-- George Wilson, described as a painter, was charged before Mr. Knox, with having some pewter measures, and a large box of dominoes in his possession, supposed to be stolen. Mr. Edward Pinder, landlord of the George Tavern, North Audloy-street, said that for some time past he had missed several articles from his yard and kitchen, and sus pected the prisoner, as after be had visited the house something was always missed. Last night the prisoner passed through th e h ouse into the yar d , and ho (Mr. Pinder) went on to the leads and watched him. The prisoner first tried the kitchen door, he then went to the larder, afterwards to a box where his cans were kept, and then back to the larder, but a person going into the yard, the prisoner ran into the water-closet. Ho (Mr. Pinder) subsequently gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable Alfred Burrows, 100 0, said that ho took the prisoner into custody and to the station, where, on searching him, he found three pewter measures flat tened, the bottoms having been previously cut out. Ono of them had the name of E. Chapman, Mount-street, a se cond G. Kelley, Star and Garter, Pall-mail, and a third T. R. Morris, Duke-street, St. James's, the measures being tied round his body with a handkerchief. He also found a large box of dominoes, seven keys, two lockets, and a knife, used for the purpose of cutting the bottoms out of the measures. The prisoner gave a false address. Mr. Thomas Morris, of 50, Duke-street, St. James's, identified the remains of ono of the measures as his pro perty. Mr. Knox said there was no doubt the prisoner was an old pot-stealer, and he would remand him to see if he was known. 'WESTMINSTER.

EXTENSIVE SYSTEH OF ROBBERY Or WATER-BORNE GOODS ON THE RlVER.—Alfred and George Hall, brothers, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 60 pieces of red cambric, and 80 pieces of cotton print, valued at £2OO, the property of the East and West India Dock Company. For some time past the robberies of water-borne goods and the substitution of tarpaulins, old sail cloth, and rub bish in the packages and bales plundered, has been re peatedly complained of, and ov,ing to representations of merchants and exporters, Mr. J. C. Evans, sup er i n te n dent of the Thames Police, and Mr. T. H. Sheppy, superin tendent of the West India Dock Company's police, were engaged to discover the thieves, and stop a system of plunder which has been detrimental to many. Yesterday \roil i ng a l p two officers disceyerod tin prioncro ou Ward a barge, called the Mariner, in the Collier Dock at Poplar which is not under the control of the Dock Company, but in their waters. On searching the cabin the two superin tendents discovered the property, consisting of 140 pieces of red cambric and cotton twist. The barge had been removed from alongside the ship Eleanor in the West India Export Dock after the delivery of 100 hogsheads of beer. The prisoners had endeavoured to corrupt a respect able and honest lighterman named Edward Vincent, in the service of Messrs. Holt, to their base purposes. He refused a largo bribo offered to him, and gave information to Mr. Evans. Mr. Sheppy asked for a remand. Mr. Partridge—Certainly ; the prisoners are remanded until Thursday next. Dreldful Murder and Suicide near Newbury, Berks. - Early yesterday morning Woodspeen, Speenbam land, and the town of Newbury were thrown into great excitement and alarm by a report that a most deliberate and dreadful murder had been perpe trated in the village of Wcodspeen, which is situ ated close to Newbury, Berks. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Superintendent Harfield, of the Berks Constabulary, received information that a woman had been murdered in Deller's-buildings, Woodspeen. He immediately informed Dr. Palmer and Mr. J. Probyn, jun., of the circumstance, and then repaired to the spot as quickly as possible. In a small cottage,' upstairs in bed, he found a woman, named Eliza Shaw, a prostitute, murdered, and a man named Edward Priest almost murdered, lying on the floor by the side of the bed, undressed. Dr. Palmer and Mr. J. Probyn, jun., surgeon soon afterwards arrived, and upon examination discovered that the woman had been dead for several hours. Her skull was fractured, and the wound is supposed to have caused her death. There was no other wounds upon her except on her hands, which it is conjectured must have been knocked about while she was trying to protect her head. Upon examin ing the man, whose name is Edward Priest, they found that he was not quite dead but most dread fully injured. His skull was fractured, and there were ten other wounds upon his head and face. The medical men dressed his wounds, and removed several pieces of bone from his skull ; but we understand that there is scarcely any chance of his recovery. Superintendent Harfield then made further inquiries and searched the house. He there found an old-fashioned butcher's iron hook or cramp, with which it is supposed the murderer committed the awful deed, and also an old small table-knife covered with blood, and it is thought that the wounds on Priest's face and head were done with it. It required very little trouble to discover who the murderer was. It appeared that a man named Henry Martin, a jobbing butcher, had been cohabiting with Eliza Shaw for some time past. At last Newbury Michaelmas Fair he knocked a man about, for which offence he was committed to Reading Gaol for one month. During that time Shaw got acquainted with Priest, and when Martin came back from gaol he did not approve their conduct, and he had been heard to say that he would murder both of them, and con cluded with 'saying that he should not be hung for it. Priest, who came from London a short time since, had been residing at the Eagle publichouse, Bartholomew, street, Newbury, where all three of the parties had been drinking together late on the previous night. Afterwards Priest and Shaw went to the latter's house to spend the night together, and sometime after Mar tin also went to the house. He got in somehow, for about 5 o'clock yesterday mornin g the next door neigh bours heard a woman say "Oh, God, oh, God !" and as if some fighting were going on. They did not take much notice of it, as they had so frequently heard simi lar noises. Martin left the house about 6 o'clock that morning, but it is believed that he returned and left again about 8 o'clock. Superintendent Harfield im mediately went in search of Martin, and traced him to his mother's house, in the Rose and Thistle-yard, Newbury, where he had left but a short time. He there learnt that Martin had kissed his mother, and after wishing her good-bye he told her that he would never see her any more. Superintendent Har field then traced him to the Crown publichouse, West-mills, where Martin had half a pint of beer. He then heard that a man was in the canal. He hastened to the spot, and near the locks, in the parish of Enbourne, he found a pair of shoes on the towing path and a man in the water. Drags were procured, and when the body was taken out of the water it was discovered to be that of Martin. Martin was a good swimmer, and so determined was he to drown himself that he tied his legs together with his hand kerchief. The body was then taken to Mr. Nias's, stable, Enbourne, where it awaits a coroner's in quest. Shaw and Martin were both natives of New bury, and their characters have been of the worst description. Shaw was a well-known character in the neighbourhood. She had been committe I to gaol several times for robberies. It is said that the butcher's cramp with which the murder is supposed to have been committed had been in Martin's family for nearly a century. FEMALE MEDICAL MISSION TO INDIA.—It iS proposed to set on foot a medical mission among the native women of India, with the double object of alleviating much physical suffering, and of taking a knowledge of Christianity to them in their secluded homes. This is a work which can only be carried on by a woman, as the native women in many cases will rather die than be seen by a man in times of sickness. The first lady will proceed to Delhi and act under the guidance of the Rev. R. R Winter, missionary of the Society for the Propaga tion of the Gospel in that city. Her work will be as follows :-1. To attend native ladies in their zenanas. 2. To set on foot a dispensary for women only. 3. To train native women as nurses. There are a great number of respectable but destitute native women in Delhi for whom the means of an honest livelihood will thus be pro vided. The doctor in charge of the civil station at Delhi has promised all the co-operation in his power. In a letter of August 17, 1866, he writes :—" I do think this proposal most excellent ; it is exactly what I have long had on my mind, and if you can succeed in enlisting some good Samaritan, she shall have all the assistance it is in my power to give." The lady, therefore, while she will be working in connection with the mission of the Propagation Society in Delhi, will in all matters medical act when necessary under the advice of the civil surgeon. One lady has already offered herself, but her con stitution is not considered suitable for India, and ladies are now wanted for this work. It is necessary the candidates be members of the Church of England, ladiesby birth and education, and that they have a fair acquaintance with the treatment of ophthalmia, and the diseases arising from carelessness and ignorance in confinements. Suitable arrangements will be made for their being under the protection of married missionaries, and in association with other ladies engaged in educational work in India. A sum of £l4O will be given for outfit and passage, and a salary of £l2O a year guaranteed for three years. This project will open up a new sphere of usefulness for Christian ladies, and may even be looked upon as an introduction to a class of Indian medical practice by which large pecuniary returns would subsequently be secured by ladies of adequate me dical knowledge and skill. Further particulars may be obtained of Dr. Edmunds, honorary secretary to the Female Medical Society, 4, Fitzroy-square, who will put suitable applicants into communica tion with the Rev. R. K. Winter. TriE CATTLE PLAGUE.---The cattle plague has reappeared under very singular and mysterious circum stances in tho Amoundorness Hundred of North Lanca shire. A few days ago Mr. Thomas Aspinall, of Salisbury hall Farm, Elston, in the hundred named, had a bullock which showed signs of illness. On Sunday it was visited by the local inspector, but the case was then not sufficiently determined ; afterwards the bullock got worse, clear symptoms of the plague wore manifested, and on Monday it was killed and buried. Throe bullocks and a heifer, which had been in contact with the diseased animal, have since been killed. How the plague has got upon A spinall's farm is a complete mystery. Five months ago the plague prevailed upon all the contiguous farms, but Aspinall's re mained clear. Now, however, when all the other neigh bouring farms aro free, the plague has coma upon it. For a considerable time there has been no change of stock, and for five months no manure has been removed from any of the farms adjoining. A footpath runs through the field wherein the bullock which has caught the plague had been pasturing. tip to the present case the Hundred of Amoun derness had been free front the plague entirely for five or bix weeks.

READING RACES-WEDNESDAY. The second and concluding day of this meeting was even more unfortunate in weather than Tuesday. Rain fell with little intermission the whole of the day, and being ac companied by a high wind its disagreeable effects were greatly increased. Although the elements were perverse there was a large increase in the attendance as compared with that of the previous day, and the sport was greatly superior, the fields being larger and tho races bettor con tested. The Berkshire Open Steeplechase was productive of some heavy wagering, Philosopher being favourite, but Milford, Meanwood, and Daisy had a host of friends, each being freely backed at their respective prices. The backers of the favourite, when most jubilant, were doomed to dis appointment, as the horse came down when going remark ably well, and the result of this was that the race became a match between Daisy and Meanwood, but the latter, im mediately Page called upon him, took up the running,.and won by four lengths. The following is a detailed return of the sport : The Innkeepers' Plato (Handicap) of 30 sovs ; winners after Nov. 29 71b extra; about two miles and a half. Mr. F. G.

The latter made play, followed by Monitor, Rapture, and Dr. Lightfoot, Lot 84 and St. Maximus bringing up the rear. At the first fence Monitor " cannoned" Comet, fell, and was not persevered with ; and, at the next obstacle, St. Maximus came to grief, and galloped in riderless. The drop fence disposed of Comet and Dr. Lightfoot, and Lot 81 was the only animal who had not fallen as he passed the stand, as Rapture [and Saucebox both fell at the farm fence, and Teddy blundered at the brook and came down heavily. Rickards remounted Saucebox, but the animal still further prejudiced his chance of success by refusing the water jump; he was, however, persevered with, and gradually diminished the winner's lead; but Ben Land, who rode Lot 81 very judiciously, landed him a winner by six lengths. Dr. Lightfoot staked himself very badly. The winner was not sold. • The Berkshire Open Steeple Chase (Handicap) of 10 sovs each, 3 ft (to the fund), if declared by 7 o'clock on Mon day evening, with 70 added ; winners of any handicap steeple chase value 50 sovs after Nov. 29, 71b, any other winner 31b extra; the second to save his stake; about three miles and a half ; 15 subs.

Arlescott took up the running after going a few strides, followed by Daisy, Philosopher, Spatchcock, and Mean wood ; Bon Nevis and Milford being early out of the race alt by persistently refusing.

Last evening the "New American Minstrels" made their first appearance in London at this hall, on which occasion they received a cordial, warm, and hearty reception. They are eleven in number, teir and each performer is a perfect master of the in strument on which he performs. The new tr oupe have attained great celebrity in America, and h visit to the metropolis is, we believe, merely by the way, as they intend making a tour nearly round the work. Mr. Frank Hussey is the comic man, and a are all new Mr. very funny fellow, he is. His sayinggrseat a novelty of and highly humorous ; indeed, the the whole performance i s it s perfect freshness. i\ Sweeny, the tenor, is a most accomplized musician and Mr. Mudge is one of the most remarkable og aancers that has ever appeared in London. Mr. P. Sterling, atiother dancer, is a perfect artist. Attired in full female ballet costume, gives his " inimitable Ethiopian Fling," and anything more curiously clever we have never seen. His style ig peculiarly pleasing ; he flits about with an airy lightness quite extraordinary, and h is many twink ling steps rival those of the far fatner Fanny Ellsler. The entertainment was rapturously applauded throughout, and we can confidently recommend a visit to the Polygraphic Hall to those who desire to i e n cre th ttl e ry m t o o st th p e le t a ro sa o t p - it , n p i i a ss n n a e w r. ay Air. a c o is unceasing in his atten tions to the visitors, and no thing that the most cultiva t e d taste could ima 1111P4lIeC cn of n hours the ima gine, has been left undone to secure the, comfort of very person who may honour the " New American Minstrels" with their patronage.
