COURT OF COMMON PLEAS-THIS DAY. In conformity with the announcement which ap peared in the papers for some time past, Lord Chief Justice Erie this day retired from the important position he has so long occupied on the bench as the Chief Judge of this Court. Long before the ordinary business of the Court had been transacted every portion of the building was crowded by members of the bar, and several ladies were accommodated with seats in the gallery. Indeed the crowd was so great that it was with much difficulty the members of the press were enabled to discharge their duties. All the judges of the court resumed their seats on the bench shortly after one o'clock. The Attoiney-General rose, and said that he at tended there that day on behalf of the bar for the purpose of expressing to the Lord Chief Justice, on this the last day of .his presiding in that court, the great respect and veneration which were felt by the body at large towards his lordship for the manner in which he had discharged for so many years the important duties of the judicial bench. Per haps if the wishes of the learned judge were con sulted he should have abstained from paying that tribute to his eminent services, but there were cases in which the impulses of the heart should be obeyed, and the present occasion was one of them. Occupying the position he did, and _partaking largely of the general feeling of the bar, he could not forego the pleasure of giving ut terance to the general sentiment which the learned Judge had inspired in the mind of the bar from the upright and efficient manner in which he adminis tered the law, and which had inspired confidence in the public mind. The right hon. and learned gen tleman then referred to the past career of the learned lord in brief but eloquent terms, and at the conclusion of his address a murmur of applause ran through the court. Lord Chief Justice Erle, who appeared much affected, said he felt deeply the manner in which the feeling of the bar towards him had been ex pressed, and the remembrance of it would always be accompanied by a deep sense of gratitude. He should also feel grateful when he remembered the assistance he had received from the bar, and which enabled him to discharge his duties in a satisfactory man ner. He was also deeply indebted to the learned judges with whom he-had been so long associated, and from whom he derived the greatest possible assistance by an interchange of thought. He then expressed his personal feeling towards the Attorney- General for the kind manner in which he bore testimony to the services he bad rendered, which induced his belief that his labours had not been in vain. The Court then adjourned. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The market opens with a steady tone. Sales pro bably 10,000 or 12,000 bales.

One Wdnesday last the town clerk at Wolverhamp ton attended at Buckingham Palace, and was in formed that the Queen had been graciously pleased to accept the invitation of the corporation and sub scribers to be present at the ceremony of unveiling the bronze equestrian statue of the late Prince Con sort erected in the market-place. Her Majesty will go to Wolverhampton on Friday, the 30th instant, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Christian and the Princess Louise. In the evening a special meeting of the Town Council of Wolverhampton was held, to make the necessary arrangements. The bells of the town were set ringing, and the telegram which conveyed the news of the accept ance of the invitation was proclaimed on the Iron makers"Change, where it was received with enthu siastic cheering. In consequence of the illness of the Prince Dagmar the marriage festivities were suspended during the early part of theweek. It will be heard with satisfaction that she was much better on the 15th, that she was able to sit up, and was in a fair way to recovery. Although the public fetes had been suspended, many splendid private parties, balls, and routs had been given. The Prince of Wales was in good health and thoroughly enjoying himself. Among other amusements he had taken part in a wolf hunt, and had the good luck to bring down a wolf. The attention of the Horse Guards authorities, it appears, has been called to the great inexpediency of removing• the Ist Brigade Royal Artillery from Gibraltar to Halifax. On account of the lateness of the season, and the great contrast in the two climates, the health of the men would undoubtedly suffer severely, the winter having already set in with great severity in Halifax.

Businesti dame. MARKET S.--This day. MARK LAM,. There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. Holders,. however, both of red and white produce, were very firm, and late prices were supported. Fine barley commanded extreme rates, whilst medium and inferior qualitieS commanded full prices. For flour there was a fair demand, and the quo tations ruled firm. The wheat trade on the Continent is very firm at fully late rates. The supplies of produce afloat to this country are gradually increasing. At New York the tendency of prices is downwards. Only moderate supplies of English grain have been re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 36,419 quarters of wheat ; 21,623 barley ; 55,040 oats ; 1,510 rye ; 4,421 beans ; 1,91 peas ; 20 tares; 8,160 linseed; 13,108 rape and oilseeds; 426 maize; 'l3O sundry seeds; and 26,420 sacks of fl mr. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate. The condition of the produce was but middling. Owing to the large import of wheat and flour last week, there was much less activity in the trade, and factors were firm in their demands, and hold both red and white produce at fully the late advance in prices. Millers, however, were only buyers at lower prices ; hence sales progress slowly, and the business transacted was chiefly of a retail character at last Monday's rates. The market was but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The trade for most qualities was rather quiet. In prices no change has taken place. The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. Fine qualities ruled firm, at full currencies. Medium and infe rior produce was dull and rather drooping in value. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full prices. There was only a moderate demand for malt, at late rate. With oats the market was moderately supplied. The demand for all qualities ruled inactive, at late rates. Beans was in moderate supply. The trade, on the whole, was steady, on former terms. Peas were in moderate request, at previous quotations. The market was fairly supplied. In the value of flour no change took place. The trade was firm. Linseed and rapeseed ruled quiet, on former terms. In other seeds very little business was transacted. Cakes were firm, and 5s per ton dearer than on Monday ast. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of home-fed stock were moderate, but in improved condition. The show of Irish stock was rather extensive, of Scotch limited. For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state at, in some in stances, a decline in ,the quotations compared with Mon day last of 2d per 81bs. However, the best Scots and crosses were worth 5s 4(.1 per Bibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,600 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; 55 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 700 oxen, &c. The supply of Eaglish sheep was on the increase, and most breeds come to . hand in good condition. For all breeds the demand was heavy in the extreme at a reduction in prices compared with Monday last of 4d par 81bs. A few very inferior Downs and half-breds sold at 6s 4d ; but the general top quotation was 6s per 81bs. Heavy Downs and half-breds may be quoted at 5s 8d to bs 10d, and prime Liucolus 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. Calves were in moderate supply, and steady request at full prices, viz., from 4s 8d to 5s 10d per 81bs. The sale for pigs was heavy on lower terms. The supply was by no means extensive.

(Before Dr. Lushington.) PLAMMACK V. THE REV. T. B. SIMPSON. In this case, which has acquired so much publicity, and is better known as the East Teignmouth case, came again before the court this morning. The defendant is the incumbent of East Teignmouth, and proceed ings were instituted against him in the Diocesan Court of Exeter, by the request of the Bishop. of Exeter for alleged practices in the peformance of the services of his church, at variance with the ritual of the Established Church. The charges against the reverend defendant were for using lights on the altar when they were not required, mixing water with the wine for the Holy Communion, elevation of the patten over his head, placing the alms on a stool at the side of the table, and omitting the concluding words, " Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all." The Queen's Advocate, who appeared with Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Hamer, raised an objection on behalf of the defendant as to the jurisdiction of the Court, but that ob jection had been overruled by the Court below, and it now came before his lordship for decree, it being contended that the letters of request contained no dates. His Lordship now gave judgment, overruling the objec- tion. . The decision is very important, as a largo number of cases depend upon it, but there will bean appeal against it COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (More Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE TUE REV. J. C. EDWARDS-SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND A HARD CASE. This bankrupt, who is the rector of Ingolts'-wel], Lin colnshire, a prisoner for debt, applied to-day for his release from custody. His debts are r 32G, of which 1:27 only is due to the detaining creditor. It appeared that the bank rupt bad met with a very serious accident, the result being that his leg was amputated. To this accident ho attributed his present misfortunes. His Honour said he could not interfere, nor could he order the release of the bankrupt until after the choice of assignees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGII-S TRtET. REFUSING TO PROSECUTE OWING TO RELIGIOUS SCRUPLES. William Young, errand boy to Mr. Charles J. Padgett, of 21, Brewer-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two gold chains, 18 gilt chains, and a quantity of rings and earrings, of the value of about £2O, the property of his employer. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Police-constable Gordon, 33 C, said that Mr. Padgett declined to give evi dence against the boy, hoxing religious objections to doing so. The boy was charged with stealing about £2O worth of property. Tyrwhitt asked the officer what was the nature of Mr. Padgett's religious scruples? Gordon said he believed Mr. Padgett was a follower of Mr. Spurgeon. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, if a person liked because of Mr. Spurgeon to be robbed of £2O worth of property, li,(Mr. Tyrwhitt) could not help it. Gordon said there were other charges against the prisoner at Marylebone. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would discharge the boy, and if the officer thought proper to take him into custody on other charges he could do so. The officer took the boy into custody, and left with him for Marylebone. WESTMINSTER. CRUSADE AGAINST POOR PERSONS.—WiIIiam Hewitt, aged 9 years, and William Wilmott, aged 15, were charged with begging under pretence of selling fusees on the street. Sergeant Broocker, officer in t plain clothes, said that the two boys were following passengers at the Victoria Station on Saturday, touching their hats to several gen tlemen, the bigger boy evidently giving the lesser one instruction from time - to time. Both had a box of fusees in their hand ; the younger one had six more boxes upon Lim. They had been there several times before, and he had given the little ono halfpence when loitering about the station and sent him home. Hewitt's mother, a very creditable-looking woman, said that sho had five children and a husband out of work. Mr. Selfe —There is a now law by which bogging, under cover of selling thin gs , i s an offence. The Mother—l did not send him out to beg. I gave him EV. to get two dozen boxes of matches, and they ought.to havo turned in a shilling. I did not send him out to beg. The children must do something for a living, or else we must starve. There is no harm surely in his selling matches. Broocker—The sister also is out, and there are a grew many complaints from the Victoria Station. Mr. Selfe —lt may be an annoyance to some persons who don't smoke to have fusees offered to them, but if these poor boys are really only selling their matches—if it is really a mercantile transaction in a small way, a bona fide mode of getting a living, I should be sorry to interfere with them. The Mother—What are poor people with large families to do if their children are not allowed to get an honest livelihood? This boy's father is dead, and his stepfather is out of work through illness. Mr. Selfe—l should be very loth to see the streets swept indiscriminately of these children. The crossing sweeper might be included with others trying to get an honest living however useful he may be. The shoeblack may be deemed a nuisance if he follows and touches his hat and impor tunes persons, and yet the shoeblack is a recognised insti tution as much as the police magistrate, and I suppose ho is not to be interfered with. Inspector Humphreys—We have no desire to interfere with any of these persons if they are really only endea vouring to sell their wares. There are sometimes as many as 20 at a time round the Victoria Station and the Wilton road. Mr. Selfe—l must admit I might be accused of buying of them myself. The boys were then discharged, with a caution that they must sell their goods without importunity and annoyance. THAMES. AN Inuit CHRISTENING. —MichaeI and Ellen Mahoney, man and wife, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting and wounding a woman named Cotter, who is now under medical treatment, and was unable to appear. It was stated at the oitset that she had received a dangerous wound on the head, -and that she had been attended by Dr. Horton, divisional surgeon of police, of High-street, Stepney. John Cotter, of No. 2, Jamaica-place, Limehouse, said— This man (Michael Mahoney) and his shister were having a jawing match in Muddy-lane— Mr. Paget —And where is Muddy-lane ? The Irishman was a loss to state where it was, but Mr. Livingston, the chief usher of the court, explained that guddy-dane was in reality Old Church-road, Stepney, running parallel with Arbour-street East, in which the Thames Police Court was situated, and had been long dignified with the name of Muddy-lane. Cotter proceeded—Well, sir, I did not trouble myself about the jawing match, but Ellen Mahoney threw beer, and Michael hit mo a great big blow with a gallon can, which kilt me and murthered mo quite, and his wife hit my wife on the head with a glass tumbler and kilt her. Michael Mahoney—Now, Misther Cotter, hishn't your wifo my shister ? Cotter—Yes, bedad it is so. Mr. Paget—Then why did you not describe her as his sister before, and not leave the thing a mystery ? Michael Mahoney—Well, I joined with itly shister, and she was getting tight. Her husband was getting tight and quarrelling, and said he would servo out both of us, and he catches hold of me and kicked me, and catches hold of my wife's face. Ellen Mahoney, a very pretty young woman, with a fine baby nicely dressed in her arms, said sho invited her husband's sister and John Cotter to the christening, and they got up a row and beat her. Mr. Paget—What christening was it? Ellen Mahoney—My dear little baby, hero raising the infant biller arms. Mr. Paget said it was alleged that Mrs. Cotter had been severely wounded, and that the wound was a dangerous one. He could not dispose of the case till he had more information as to the condition of Mrs. Cotter. He must, therefore, remand the prisoners. Railways.

A deputation from the working men of London, appointed at a recent meeting of the trades and friendly societies with respect to the coming Reform demonstration on Monday next, waited on Lord John Manners to-day to request his permission for the use of one of the public parks for the meeting. Mr. GEORGE POTTER having introduced the de putation, explained to his lordship the desire on the part of the working men to hold a demonstration on Monday next in favour of Parliamentary Re form, and asked for the grant of the Green-park or Hyde-park for the purpose, and instanced the case of the Queen's-park at Edinburgh, where proceed ings of a similar nature were held with the greatest decorum. He assured his lordship that every exertion had been made to secure a fitting place, but with out effect. The granting of the boon would be re garded as a special favour. Mr. Jenkins sug gested, in the event of a refusal of the parks, the vacant space in front of Chelsea Hospital would answer the purpose. Lord JOHN MANSE us, in reply to the deputa tion, said he could not give au answer to their re quest until.he had consulted his colleagues. With respect jto the meeting held in Holyrood-park, it was a custom to hold political meetings there, but with respect to Hyde-park and the Green-park in London things were different. If permission were given for the holding political meetings there, that would be establishing a precedent. Without saying, anything definite about the space in front of Chel sea Hospital, he would remind the deputation that the late Government offered Primrose hill as a suitable place for a demonstration, and he thought the present Government might not object to offer them the same place. Still he was not in a position to make a positive offer of Prim rose-hill, but he would at once consult his colleagues on the matter and let them know the decision of the Go~•ernment with respect to the two places named. ' If the Government declined to grant either of the parks he could assure them it was not from any feeling that the working men should not express their opinions on Reform in the fullest manner. The deputation, having thanked his lordship. retired. LAUNCH OF THE GREAT REPUBLIC. As we briefly announced yesterday morning the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's new steamship Great Republic, the first of the ships now being constructed for the new line between Sau Francisco and China, was successfully launched from the shipyard of Mr. Henry Steers, at Greenpoint, on November 8, in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen, drawn thither by the public announcement in the Times and others of the city papers of the launch of the largest ship yet con structed in America. Tonnage alone forms no basis for comparing the size of a sailing-ship with that of a steamer, all the space. occupied in the latter by the machinery being excluded in calculating her capacity in tons. The space so excluded in a steamer of this immense size would of itself contain bodily what, not many years ago, would have passed for a large vessel. Length, extreme 3BO feet. Length batween perpendiculars 360 feet. Width of beam, moulded 4B feet 6 inches. Width of beam, extreme Depth of hold The Great Republic, as we heard frcm the lips of those present, well known in the community as veteran marine experts, is not only the largest but, what is specially to be praised in these days, the strongest ship yet built in this country. Our Ame ricanism teaches us to claim as national not what is merely native, but what is also best; and in this point of view we have always taken a just pride in the magnificent fleet put afloat by the Pacific Mail Company, during and since the war, beginning with the Constitution, in 1861, and having such ships as the well-known Colorado, Golden City, Arizona, and Henry Chauncey for models. But the Great Republic, the pioneer of the new fleet for the China trade, surpasses all her predecessors. Her frame timbers are of white and live oak. These fastened with copper and iron, are braced with straps of iron five inches wide and 7-Bths of an inch thick, crossing each other diagonally every four feet. Over this comes the inner planking, which is caulked and payed with pitch and then double strapped as before, and outside this double-strapping comes the exterior double planking of the very best Georgia yellow pine. The whole is so thoroughly braced and bolted and fastened together with treenails of locust, spikes of iron or composition, and bolts of copper, that it is difficult to imagine wind and wave combined of sufficient power to cause distress to so staunch a structure. The Great Republic has three masts, and, to meet the necessities of her route s on which it may at times be desirable to use sails, will be full ship rigged, differing, however, from the familiar arrangement by having her foremast the tallest of the three, and her mizzen -mast the shortest. She has three full decks, unusually stout and strongly fastened, with an orlop deck fore and aft, extending to the engine bulkhead. She has four stout water tight bulkheads, dividing the hold into five secure compartments.

The most noteworthy incident of the Leamington meet ing was the objection raised and sustained by Lord West morland against Landlord, for the Donnington Handicap. The important part of the matter—the decision respecting bets—is in abeyance until to-day, by which time it is to be presumed the celebrated Turf adjudicator, Admiral Rous, will have been consulted. In chapter sof the latest edition of his work on " Horse Racing " are the rules of Betting, and I give Rule 2 in extenso from his book, as there is no question the decision on Monday next will be decided by it :—" The interest of the bets are inseparable with the interest of the Stakes, except when the winning horse is disqualified, owing to a default in making stakes, or if au objection be made to the qualification of a horse on the ground of incorrect pedigree or nomination after the race is run, the bets shall go to the horse that comes in first, provided he is of the right age, and that in other re spects he has not transgressed the Rules of Racing ;" but if the owner of a horse or a person on his behalf succeeds by fraud or false statements in starting him for a race, for which he is legally disqualified, making himself liable to the penalties in Rule 17, "Laws of Racing," the bets will go with the stakes, whether any objection be made either before or after the race. In the Admiral's well-known work is also the following statement of the Claxton case: -Case 20 : Objection made after the race. Claxton, who had been scratched on the Ist of August in the "Racing Calendar" by his former owner, appeared coloured in thelluntingdon card, and was allowed to start, on the representation of Mr. E. Pan-, that he had bought the horse on the 28th July with his eugage ments. Lord St. Vincent subsequently declared that when he sold the horse no mention was made of engagements, and Mr. E. Parr having failed to produce the written ac knowledgment required by Rule 31, Suspicion, the second horse, received the stakes; and the bets, by Rule 2, were paid to Claxton, owing to no person making an objection to him before starting. Therefore, as regards bets, I am clearly of opinion that Lord Westmorland is quite out of court, unless the law, which is a very severe one, appertaining to Rule 17, has been infringed, and should be thought applicable to this case. Another serious consideration is the encourage- . ment to fraud which would be given by allowing bets to be decided in favour of a disqualified horse, under such circumstances, because the stakes aro of no moment in comparison with the amount which is speculated on the race. If Rule 17 does not meet a case of this kind the sooner it is alterod the better, as there is nothing to prevent any ono running the best horse of his year under a chaniled name, and afterwards getting him weighted as au unknown or indifferent one, winning, say £20,000 in bets, and run ning for a paltry stake, the loss of which is ridiculous in amount compared to the bets ho has made. There can be no doubt, however, that the committee at Tattersall's must come to a decision in favour of Landlord, provided the 17th rule is not enforced, although Claxton's case does not appear to me to be similar, and Hall Court's, being in connection 'with steeplechasing, certainly cannot be taken as a precedent. I may, in conclusion, be permit ted to express a hope that, when next some of the mem bers of the Jockey CM, who usually decide these knotty questions as stewards of different race meetings, will pro vide themselves with a copy of the Admiral's rules of racing, so that they may be able to give a decision at once. I will now turn my attention to the Croydon Steeple chase; the programme of which will occupy Tuesday and Wednesday next. The only stake, however, which I think it desirable to venture an opinion upon is the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechase, the wagering on it having already boon very heavy. Astrolabe's performances both over the flat and in steeplechases, with 13st on his back on several occasions in France, must give him a formidable chance; and it shotild be recollected that he ran third to l'Africain in a steeplechase last year with only 21b. less on his back. Balder is very well in, but I think on this occasion he will give way to Meanwood, who is in good form, as his running last week with Philosopher will show. 1 believe Tom a who, b Oliver thinks very hi g hl y o f the latter, in fact that he is tsa nd me ee. Tyhthehave alsofortheday after way,onlyoh e with any attraction for me is Globule, who has been re served to do a good thing, and may be successful here. Fit and well at the post, my choice is GLOBULE or ASTROLABE, and MEANWOOD will probably get a situation. A FRESH MAN. PROGRAMME OF TO-MORROW'S RACES.
