MARKETS---This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Only a moderate supply of beasts was on offer in our market to-day, and most breeds changed hands steadily, at full prices. A few very superior Scots sold at 5s per 81bs. We were rather scantily supplied with sheep, which ruled firm, at full quotations. The best Downs and half-breds in the wool realised 6s 6d; out of the wool, 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. There was a fair number of lambs in the pens, and sales progressed freely, at from 6s 4d to 8s per 81bs. The receipts from the Isle of Wight amounted to 700 head. We had a slow inquiry for calves at late rates. In pigs very little was doing. Milch cows ranged from £lO to £22 each.

MONEY MARKET AN n COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. No alteration has been made this morning in the official minimum of the Bank of England. A change was not very generally anticipated, although it was not regarded in the present condition of monetary affairs as improbable. The inquiry for accommoda tion on the part of the mercantile community has latterly been so very limited in consequence of the almost extreme quietude of trade, and the capital on offer has been very much increased, and it is from this circumstance it was inferred that an alter ation might have been made. The preparations for bills that will become due to-morrow (Good Friday) and on Easter Monday have imparted a little acti vity to-day in discount circles, but the rate remains very easy, 35 -a per cent. being the quotations for the best short -dated paper. In Sydney, on th e 24th J anuar y l as t, the directors of the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney presented their thirty-third half-yearly report to the shareholder, and declared a dividend and bonus at_ the same rate as at the previous half-year, the sstformer bein g 15 per cent. per annum, and the latter . la; share, m a ki ng a total distribution for the year tion Per cent ' This a pp ro p riation, and the addi of £4,000 to the reserve fund, which now amounts to £104,000 left £4,020 of undivided profit to he carried forward. rward. A meeting lqr. G eorge IV was held yesterday of the creditors of . Bremner, trading under the firm of Messrs. Bremner and Co., merchants and ship owners, who suspended payment on the 28th ult. The statement of affairs prepared and explained by keasrs. J. Ril ties at lingsworth and Son gave the liabili £4B,9l7, and the assets at £52,183, showing a surplus of about £3,000, dependent upon the rea lisation of me rc h an di se, &c., in the East Indies and the Brazils, together with the sales of ships at home. After a very friendly discussion it was resolved that the estate should be wound up under inspection. The Bank of Victoria held its usual half-yearly Meetin g in Melbourne on the 7th February last. The net profit, including £7,200 ss. brought for- Ward from last balance-sheet, amounted to £44,404 , 28 . 1 0d. ; which was applied, £5,000 to reduction of °auk premises account ; £31,250 to dividend, at the rate of 12i per cent. ; leaving a balance of £8,154 2s. 10d. to profit and loss account. We are informed that the London and Scottish Bank (Limited) will be in a position without delay to meet its engagements. Negotiations are now pending with a London bank to take over its busi ness.

The North Staffordshire Strike, The adjourned meeting of the London trades delegates and representatives of works and shops subscribing in support of the men on strike in North Staffordshire, was held last evening at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street—Mr. Davis, delegate from the Central Society of House Painters, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to see so good an atten dance, notwithstanding there had been some misapprehen sion as to the adjournment of the meeting on the last occa sion, as it proved that all trades unionists of London were still stedfast in their support of their North Staffordshire brethren. (Hear.) They had heard a great deal lately about arbitration. He was in favour of arbitration as a prin ciple, but it must be on a sound basis. Unconditional arbi tration meant nothing less than unconditional submission ; and he thought the North Staffordshire men were fully justified in declining any ambiguous proposal of that na ture. The proposal of Lord Lichfield, however well in tended, was not arbitration, but a mere reference. (Hear.) Mr. PHIPPS, the delegate from North Staffordshire, then laid before the meeting the present position of the men on strike. They were as firm and determined in maintaining the position they had taken up as in the first week of the strike. Since the last meeting he had waited upon several trade societies, and had met with much sympathy and support although the injudicious resolutions adopted at the meet ing of the London Trades Council on Thursday evening last had created much confusion and dissatisfaction. The men on strike had received a larger dividend last Saturday than for some weeks past, and there was every prospect of its being increased next Saturday. (Cheers.) The Brierly Hill Executive had placed £2,000 at the disposal of the North Staffordshire men to emigrate 200 of them to New Zealand. He then explained the terms of Lord Lichfield's proposal to the men, which was too vague for them to accept without giving up all they had been struggling for during twelve months. (Cheers.) Mr. POWELL (Hand-in-Hand Painters) then moved— " That this meeting having heard the report and expla nation of ;the delegate from North Staffordshire, hereby calls on the trades of London to continuo their support to the men on strike in North Staffordshire until the m as t ers allow them to resume work at the old rate of wages pend ing a fair and just arbitration." Mr. LEWIS (from Lambeth Carpenters) seconded the re solution, which was supported by Messrs. RICHARDS (Amalgamated Carpenters), MILLS (painter), IVALEs (joiner), Ursm,u,L, and others, and carried unanimously. It was announced that the Friends of Freedom, and the Old Lambeth Carpenters had withdrawn their delegates from tho Trades Council owing to its late proceedings. The meeting then adjourned. PETROLEUM.—The imports of petroleum in the first two months of this year amounted to 1,953 tuns, as compared with 2,808 tuns in 1864, and 1,327 tuns in 1863 (corresponding periods). The falling off observable this year occurred wholly from the United States, from which only 1,490 tuns were received in the first two months of 1865, as compared with 2,260 tuns in the corresponding period of 1864, and 1,045 tuns iu the corresponding period of 180, 2k 5 rnE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENiNGt, APRIL 13, 18611, 95 97 130: 131; 611 ay 613 88 t 6 17 89 91 10.5 1. 7 47i 18i 7 8' 133 124 1485 149 131 33 87 89 75} 16 85 67 53 65 40 19 101 03 1191 120 80 88 107 109 42 43 WI 1231 96 97 61 83 130 131 2} 21p1 137 13? 106 11,8 51 55 24i 25i 1111 1121 69} 70i 1031 IC4 37 88 11 12 p 9 10 p 115 11S 1 Pp 78 79 11 Ili 138 142 98 N 61 62 54 5 86f 871 9 10 155 156 96 120 i 1 48 j 134 4 144 9 1191 1 88 7} 108} 8 421 12 3 961 7i 611 1 MI i i 3 0 i I 01 1 130 k 7i 106.1 541 4 112 i 70 i 104 79 81 1 87 61 107 8 France to Cobden, The following despatch is an eloquent proof of a growing identity of views and sentiment between the French and ourselves. The Minister of Foreign Affairs interprets the feelings of the French nation when he pays tribute to the sterling worth of Cob den. However great an object it may be to seek to know ourselves, it is certainly a source of deep satis faction and of good augury for the peace of the world when our neighbours learn to know us and we also to understand them. The life of an " inter national man," such as M. Drouyn de Lhuys so aptly designates Cobden, has been fitly devoted to these great results : "To his Excellency the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, Ambassador of France at London. " Paris, April 8. "Prince,—A few days since, whilst the First Mi nister of her Britannic Majesty bore brilliant testi mony in the House of Commons to the memory of Richard Cobden, a speaker belonging to the Govern ment of the Emperor expressed the regrets which the death of this illustrious man gave rise to in France, and the Legislative Body identified them selves with this homage by an unanimous impulse. " A manifestation so honourable to the two nations, and to the person whose loss England deplores, will not have escaped your attention ; and you will perhaps have already had occasion to communicate thereupon with the Ministers of the Queen. I desire nevertheless, Prince, to place you in a position to express to them officially the mournful sympathy and truly national regret which the death, as lamented as premature, of Richard Cobden has excited on this side of the Channel. " That indefatigable promoter of liberty in the domain of commerce and manufactures was not only the living proof of what merit, perseverance, and labour can accomplish ; one of the most complete examples of those men who, sprung from the most humble ranks of society, raise themselves to the highest rank in public estimation by the effect of their own worth and of their personal services ; finally, one of the rarest examples of the solid qualities inherent in the English character. He 'is above all, in our eyes, the representative of those sentiments and those cosmopolite principles before which national frontiers and rivalries disappear ; whilst essentially of his country, he was still more of his time ; he knew what mutual relations could accomplish in our days for the prosperity of peoples. Cobden, if I may be permitted so to say, was an international man. " There are some mental views and aptitudes which are only given to those who in the outset of their career have felt the embarrassments and the difficulties of life, who have had to struggle against the necessities of a position less than humble. Richard Cobden had been brought up in this severe but strengthening school ; he thence derived, as the best preparation for a knowledge of political eco nomy, the gift of sympathy with the sufferings of the laborious classes in the midst of whom he had lived ; he the better understood the straitened circumstances which he had shared; and in feeling the need of alleviating them, he was naturally led to seek the means to do so, firstly, in the abolition of the corn laws in England, then in the suppression or lowering of the barriers which the various commer cial laws had raised between peoples. Certainly Cobden did not create any of the principles of in dustrial and commercial liberty. They had been professed and propagated before him by eminent theorists in England and France. But his glory •is to have followed up the practical application of them, abroad and at hone, with an ardour and de votedness quite unparalleled. " Exempt from national prejudices as from those of education and caste, Richard Cobden brought to the pursuit of reforms which he judged useful to his country and profitable to humanity a disinterestedness and a sincerity which one can not but honour, whilst at the same time one is obliged to admit that all his views were not equally practicable. For ourselves, we cannot forget the consider able part he took in the change of opinions which prepared, and in the negotiations which led to, the treaty of commerce at present existing between France and England. This important act, the good results of which experience has already con secrated, and the liberal provisions of which are from day to day adopted by other Powers of Europe, will have for effect not only the development of the material interests between England and France, but it will also aid powerfully in strengthening their friendly relations. This was the double object of Richard Cobden. He loved and understood France better than any other person, and regarded as one of the greatest interests of his country and humanity the maintenance of peaceful relations between the two nations, which, according to the expression recently used by a member of the English Cabinet, march at the head of the world. " You will be good enough, Prince, to acquaint the First Minister and the Principal Secretary of her Britannic Majesty with the sentiments expressed in this despatch, and which they will receive I doubt not with a willingness equal to that which has dic tated them.—Receive, &c., (Signed) 66 DROUYN DE LIIUYS."

The export inquiry has improved a little as compared with what was the case a week ago. Considerable vitality is evinced in the house coal trade, and there is upon the whole a good demand from the West of England and Irish markets. Quotations for both steam and house remain without any material alteration. For certain descriptions of coke plates there is a better sale, but it cannot be said that prices have improved. Patent fuel is in request on export account, and the works are on full time. The principal ironmasters of the district are well supplied with orders. Contracts for railway iron are being executed for South America, Sweden, Italy, and also the East. DONCASTER, 11.—The state of the coal trade in South Yorkshire is exceedingly good, and, as the weather is now much warmer, we may expect an alteration so far as house hold descriptions are concerned. The inquiry for the me tropolitan markets is brisk, and in the anticipation of an increasing trade the Great Northern Railway propose to ex tend their coal depot and weighing yard at this place. The tonnage that p asses th roug h f rom both the northern and South York s hi re coalfields is large. The demand for Hull and Grimsby, especially for steam coal, is improving, and both the railway and the navigation convey steam and house coal in considerable quantities. The opening of the northern ports has stimulated the steam coal trade. The export trade at those ports is good. LEICESTER, 12th.--There is is not much change in the hosiery trade; the market continues healthy and there is about an average amount of business doing. Manufac turers are careful to produce only those goods which are ordered. In the country districts business is rather quiet. Yarns are without much change in price, and spinners only make for imm e di a t e requ i rements. The woo l mar k e t is NOTTINGHAM,duII, and there isr 12th.—There y little i doing s materials. ani i m n provem demand for silk mechlins this w ee k. All k i n d s o f co tt on goods aro, however, a slow sale, and the state of the yarn market prevents buyers purchasing except f or i mme di a t e il in the wants. The fineness of the - weather will influence the sale of laces suitable to the season. Stocks of goods are light, and manufacturers produce with Caution. A few buyers have been in the market, but their operations are not extensive. In hosiery there is not much change. A little is doing for the home market and for shipment, and manufacturers ere working almost entirely to order. Yarns are without much alteration. THE LAST OF AN ACTOR. —At the Lambeth Police-court, yesterday, shortly before the conclu sion of the business of the Court, Dr. Tanner, of Kenning ton, accompanied by Mr. Porter, the relieving officer of the parish of St. Mary's, Newington, applied to Mr. Elliott, the sitting magistrate, for an order of remo va l t o th e L un atic A sy l um , Bethnal-green, of Joseph H enry Ri c k ar d s, th e shown 'ell-k ht- u t ol' a r forncoiTi many months as a dan gerous lunat i c.

ACCIDENT IN A CHURCIIYARD.—On Monday an accident took place in the graveyard at Bowdon which might have been attended with a fatal result. A grave had been dug ready to receive the body of Mrs. Starkey, and Charles Albinson, the son of the sexton, descended into the grave, which was very deep, when suddenly the soil, which was very loose and sandy, gave way under the weight of the bystanders, and the poor man was over whelmed with thefalling earth,being literally buried under the mass. Assistance having been instantly obtained, he was gradually rescued from his perilous position. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This day. (Before Mr. Baron Channell and Mr. Justice Smith.) PELIZZIONI'S CASE.-" T SAFFRON-HELL MURDER." The trial of Pelizzioni was continued after we went to press yesterday, and, as stated in our later edition, was adjourned until this morning. John Liddell, a French polisher, who was in the house at the time of the fracas, said he saw the prisoner strike Harrington, who then fell. The witness was subjected to a rigorous cross-examina tion, and although he gave his evidence in a somewhat singular manner, which induced the judge several times to threaten him with a committal, ho persisted in the accuracy of his original statement. Another witness, named Stanley, who was in the house at the time, said that Harrington made a grip at the pri soner, who then stabbed him. The witness said he struck Pelizzioni on the head, otherwise he should have been stabbed himself. A person named Bannister, who was also in the house, gave evidence confirmatory of that of Stanley. He said that he was standing between Harrington and Rebbeck when he was cut on the knuckle with a knife. The prisoner was near. Witness had lost the use of his finger. Some other evidence havieg been given the trial was adjourned. This morning evidence for the prosecution was continued Police Sergeant Baldock said that, on the 26th of De cember, the prisoner was charged at the Clerkenwell stat tion with stabbing a man. He told him he must detain him, because, if the man died, he would be charged with wilful murder. The prisoner's right hand was covered with blood, and witness made a remark to him on the sub ject. He said, "I have only protected myself." On search ing him, witness found in his pocket a bone-handled knife, which had not been used that day. On the following day, having heard of the death of Michael Harrington, witness informed the prisonerthat he was charged with wilful mur der. He said, "I never used a knife." (The witness was not cross-examined.) Eliza Harriet Shaw, the wife of the landlord of the Golden Anchor, in which the fracas occurred, said that between six and seven o'clock on the evening of the 26th of December she was serving in the bar, and was very busy. She saw Gregorio there, but she did not see him come in. Gregorio slapped her husband's face, after which he went into the tap-room. Her husband went to call the police, witness remaining in the bar. About ten minutes before that she saw Harrington in the tap-room. After her hus band's face was slapped Gregorio took hold of Harrington, who was drawn away by some one into the bagatelle room. Some one gave her two billycock hats, which she threw over the bar to Gregorio and his brothe r J o h n . _ _ Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Gregorio and brother took the hats away. Gregorio had said, " Give me my hat," or something of that sort. Police-sergeant Potter said, on the 26th of December he conveyed the prisoner to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where Harrington was lying in bed. He took the prisoner and about a dozen other persons to Harrington's bedside. Wit ness told Harrington that he had heard from the doctor that he had but a short time to live. He made a sign and went off into a doze. Witness cautioned him, and he then said, "If lam to die, God have mercy on me." Witness then asked him to look round the bed and see if there was anybody therehe knew,and to point out where he was hurt. He said, "In my belly." On looking round the bed,' he pointed to Pelizzioni, and said, " That's the man that did it, him with the black moustache, God have mercy on him," or " God forgive him." He refused to sign a paper that had been written out, and repeated several times "God have mercy upon him." Wit ness asked the prisoner whether he understood what was said, and he replied, " I do not understand English well." He told the prisoner that Harrington had said he was the man who had done it, but he said nothing. The paper alluded to was shown to the magistrate at the police court, but the magistrate would not receive it as evidence as the officers and doctor who had heard Harrington's statement were present. The paper was left in the police court, and could not now be found. Afterwards witness went to the bedside of Rebbeck at the Royal Free Hospital, the prisoner being with him. He had been informed that Rebbeck was dying, and Dr. Hill confirmed the statement. A sergeant of the police had taken down a statement from Rebbeck, which was read over in the presence of the prisoner. (From the paper which was read by the clerk of the court it appeared that Rebbeck stated Pelizzioni stabbed him.) Baldock was recalled and Sergeant Ballantine elicited from him that he wrote the paper at Rebbeck's bedside, while the prisoner Pelizzioni was present, thus contradict ing Potter, who had stated that the sergeant had writen it before Pelilzzion's arrival. He said, in answer, to the foreman of the jury, that he was occupied about a quarter of an hour in taking the statement. Potter, who had been out of court, was recalled—Di rectly he heard from Dr. Hill that Rebbeck was in danger, he sent for Pelizzioni. He had not seen the written state ment. In answer to Sergeant Ballantine, ho stated that Pelizzioni did not say a word, or utter any ejaculation when he was told what Rebbock had said, but the learned counsel read from the examination at the Police-court, where Potter swore that when Pelizzioni heard of Robbeck's statement, he exclaimed "Oh !" He explained the contradiction by saying that he had forgotten the circumstance. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you speak of either of the knives at the inquest ? Witness—l don't think I did. Sergeant Ballantine—Don't you know you did ? Witness—l don't think I did. Sergeant Ballantine—Had you, when Pelizzioni was first tried, heard that the buckhorn-handle knife belonged to Mogul? Witness—Yes, I hoard it belonged to John Mogni. Re-examined—l had nothing to do with the production or the non-production of the two knives at the trial. When I came into the witness-box I saw them both lying on the table. Mr. Giffard—Did you ever conceal anything about the finding of the two knives ? Witness—No, never. Mr. Giffard—Did you hear that two hats had been lost ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you mention that fact at the trial? Witness—No. Sergeant Ballantine—Didn't you make any inquiry about them of Mrs. Shaw, the landlady ? Witness—No. Mr. Giffard—Did you think there was anything import ant about the loss of the two hats at the Bret trial. Witness—No. Police-constable Fawell was next called. Sergeant Ballantine—On the 27th of December, you swore before the magistrate that you saw Alfred Rebbeck following the prisoner into the bagatelle-room. Is that true ? Witness—That is not correct. Sergeant Ballantine—Then how came you to swear it ? Witness—The depositions were read over to me before I signed it, but it was not read as you have done it. Sergeant Ballantine—You signed it, you know. That'', your signature, is it not ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—Who told you it was the prisoner ? Witness--Rebbeck told me he had been stabbed, and I supposed that led me to say so. I know when I got into the bagatelle room the prisoner was the only Italian there. I saw the prisoner taken off the body of Harrington. I knew there was another man standing in the passage as I went in. I don't know what became of him. Mr. Justice Smith—Did you see Rebbeck go into the bagatelle room? Witness—No, I did not. Mr. Hill, the surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital, said Rebbeck was brought to the institution suffering from a punctured wound in the side, half an inch in length and three inches deep. There was no other wound causing the blood to flow. There was no portion of the weapon which inflicted the injury left in the wound. The knife produced would inflict the injury. By Sergeant Ballantine—lf the persons had been face to face, I should imagine the wound to have been inflicted with the left hand. Rebbeck when he was brought in smelt as if he had been drinking spirits. He was not drunk. This closed the case for the prosecution. Sergeant Ballantine proceeded to address the jury for the defence. He dwelt upon the great importance of the inquiry, owing to past trials, and upon the fact that the prisoner was under sentence of death. Tho police, he contended, had commenced with a blunder, and that sooner than admit the blunder suppressed matter, which was of the greatest importance to the pre sent inquiry. He should endeavour to lay before them what he considered the admitted facts on which the jury would have to decide. It was conceded by the prosecution— and that would be the first matter for consideration—for upon it the entire case for the prosecution was founded— that the act was committed, if it was committed by Pellizzioni, was committed by him when he was down in the bagatelle room. If he succeeded in breaking the groundwork and point of the prosecution that Pelizzioni was the only Italian in the room, he should destroy the whole case for the prosecution, for it was obvious that the other circumstances of the prosecution were of secondary importance. The case for the defence was this—There had been a variety of discussions, amounting to scuffles, in the course of the evening, and an ill-feeling had sprung up between tho English and Italians. The English were by no means behind the others in returning any compli ments the Italians might pay them. The Italians said that while they were ready and intending to have a row the English were quite as ready to create a disturbance them selves. The Englishmen, they say, had been calling the Italians ruffians, and using other expressions of that find, and that two or three of the Italians did, in point of fact, force their way into the bagatelle-room, into which the English had retreated, and that it was then the matter occurred which formed the subject of the present inquiry. The question then arose, Who was it that struck the blow? The defence said, in contradistinction to the prosecution, that not only one man got into the room before Harring ton was stabbed, but that two or three of them got in be fore that event took place. Upon this point there would be a great conflict of testimony. It . would be shown that amongst others Oregon° Mons. and his brother John got in. John, indeed, was one of the first, and when Gregorio saw that his brother was being mal treated he took out his pocket knife, with which ha stabbed Harrington, Rebbeck, and Bannister. At that time Peliz zioni, who was a man of great influence amongst the Italians, was at a neighbouring public house, and was in formed that a serious disturbance was going on at the Golden Anchor. He went there for the purpose of putting an end to it, and directly he entered the house and went to the room he was knocked down, and fell on the body of Harrington. In a moment afterwards he was seized by King, and was taken into custody by the police. That was the case to which, upon satisfactory evidence, he should ask the assent of the jury. The learned sergeant then called attention to the evidence for the prosecution, which bore upon these points. At the close of the learned counsel's address, which lasted three hours and ten minutes, Gregorio Mogni was called, and in answer to Mr. Ribton said he had been sentenced to five years' penal servitude for the manslaughter of Harrington. He was then subjected to a long examination, during which he repeated his account of the disturbance at the Golden Anchor on the night of Dec. 26. He admitted taking a knife from the pocket, when Marazzi told him not to use the knife, but he replied that if he did not he would not get out of the room alive. He 'then struck the knife into the belly of the first person who came up to him, but ho did not know who it was. He then struck the knife into Rebbeck, but he did not know into what part he struck the knife, but he struck the blow with his left hand. He wounded another man, but did not know him by name. He did by sight. The witness Bannister, one of the parties stabbed on the evening in question was called into court, and the witness at once identified him as the person. He also identified Mrs. King as the female he threw down when he entered the bagatelle-room. The witness was under examination when we went to press. It is expected that the case will be adjourned till Satur day. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE CITY BURGLARIES. This morning Wilkinson, alias Carotty Fred, Brown, alias Scotty, Jeffrey, and Brewerton, were indicted for a burglaryat Messrs. Bennoch's, wareh ousemen, in Wood street, Cheapside. At the close of the evidence for the prosecution the Recorder said there was no evidence against Brewerton, and he was acquitted upon that indictment. The learned counsel engaged for the prisoners addressed the jury, who found them guilty. Mr. Ribton having intimated that the other cases against the prisoners would not be proceeded with, The prisoners were asked in the usual form why sen tence should not be passed upon them. Casley asked the Court for mercy, as he said he had been forced into an indecent life, after the greatest struggle to avoid it. The other prisoners remained silent. The Recorder then passed on them the judgment of the Court. Brown (alias Scotty) and Jeffrey were sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude, Casley and Brewerton to 14 years', Wilkinson and Hurley to 10 years', and Roberts. the receiver, to seven years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. HIGHWAY ROBBERY John Walters was indicted for highway robbery from a boy in Oxford-street, and found guilty. The learned Judge sentenced him to 14 years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE MARQUIS OF TOWNSHEND AND THE BEGGARS.— Margaret Anderson, about 14 years old, was charged before Mr. Knox by the Marquis of Townshend with begging in Charles-street, St. James's-square. The Marquis of Townshend said—Last night this little girl asked me for money. I put some questions to her, in answer to which she said that her mother sent her begging, and that she had no father. I then gave her into custody. Malcolm Hunter, 45 C, who took the girl into custody, said her sister was in court. Her sister, in answer to questions by the magistrate, said we get our living by going out singing in the streets, and we live in Church-street and pay 6d. a night for our lodgings. Our mother is living, but we do not know where, but our father is dead. Mr. Knox—lt is almost ridiculous to ask you such a question, but do you ever go to church or chapel ? The sister—No, sir ; we used to go to a chapel ; we are Catholics. We have not seen our mother for 18 months. Mr. Knox—lt is not a case for punishment, but one in which something ought to be done to save the girl from destruction. I will remand her for a week, and see what can be done for her. The girl was then remanded. THE FOREIGN PROSTITUTE NUISANCE IN REGENT-STREET. —Marie Durient, a Frenchwoman, was charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Regent-street for the purposes of prostitution, to the annoyance of the inhabitants. Mr. Henry Dolby, engineer, of 56, Regent's-quadrant, said that on the previous night ho watched the prisoner from eleven till twelve o'clock, during which time he saw her accost several gentlemen for the purposes of prostitu tion, the gentlemen pushing her away. He then called a constable's attention to the prisoner, and just as the clock struck twelve gave her in charge for annoying him, as ono of the inhabitants of the street. Although at present dressed in modest attire, she walked up and down Regent street dressed in the extreme of fashion. After he gave her into custody, she put her hand, blazing with jewels, in his face, saying she could pay any fine. She was in the habit of walking with a woman who had annoyed him for fifteen years. Mr. Knox asked if the nuisance was abated? Mr. Dolby said it was, and that the inhabitants were much indebted to the court for the assistance they had re ceived. He came forward on public grounds, and repu diated any other motive whatever, not having the least vindictiveness in the matter. The prisoner said that he ought to be ashamed of himself, being a Frenchman, to interfere ; but be wished to deny that. He was not a Frenchman, but an Englishman. Mitchell, 298 A, proved seeing the prisoner, whom he had known for three or four years as a prostitute, accost gentlemen. He heard her say she could pay any fine. The prisoner, who pretended she could not speak Eng lish, having put a few questions to the constable, Mr. Knox fined her 40s. or a month. Share! Railways.

WESTMINSTER. ROBBING EMPLOYERS.—John Landsdowne, a respectable looking man, in the garb of a gas engineer, was charged with being concerned with a man named Williams, in custody, with stealing a valuable water gauge, the pro perty of Messrs. Kelk and Lucas, contractors, from the Exhibition-grounds, Brompton. John Morgan, seargeant, 3 13, said—From information received, I went to No. 11, Elizabeth-street, Chelsea, last night, at half-past six, and asked for the prisoner. He was denied, but as I left the place I saw him look out at a window, when I went and apprehended him for being concerned with another man, in custody, for stealing this gauge and other valuable property, consisting of stop cocks, hose, pipe, &c. He said nothing to the charge. James Donovan, watchman to Mr. Douglas, builder, Queensbury-place, South Kensington, said—On last Fri day night a man, whom he believed to be the prisoner, came to him with the gauge and told him that the fore man had ordered him to put it in one of the buildings of which he had care. The man left at past 11; on the same night the dog barked, and witness said that four men were standing on the steps of one of the houses. The police were fetched, and three of the men escaped ; one of them named Williams was captured, having two hose-pipes on him, corresponding with part of the property stolen from the Exhibition. Mr. Edward Hintley, foreman to Messrs. Kelk and Lucas, proved that the gauge and other property was safe locked in a box in the Exhibition grounds on the 10th of March. He identified the property. The prisoner was in their service. The watchman said he heard one of the four men men tion the name Butcher, and lloyaed proved that the pri soner went by that name; also, that in the area where the watchman saw the four men, 7 stopcocks and 2 hose-pipes were found concealed ready to be carried off. Access to the place where they had been kept had been obtained by a duplicate key, and then a box had been broken open.

The Moniteur of this evening says :—" We learn from Dantzic that an epidemic, termed by the faculty cerebro spinal meningites, has for the last two months been raging in several districts of Eastern Prussia. It is chiefly pre valent among very young children, seldom attacking adults above the age of 20. "lt appears certain that this affection has no analogy with the disease prevailing at St. Petersburg, and hitherto has not been found contagious. Besides this, no cases have occurred except in the spot where the malady first broke out. According to intelligence from Stettin, Kmnigsberg, and Memel, the public health in these towns and the environs, as well a s in the adjoining Russian provinces, is satisfactory.
