MARLBOROUGH STREET THE SINGULAR CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY By FALSE PRETENCES.—CharIes Agreton, alias Thompsett, Clifton, &c., the young mau charged with obtaining the sum of 10s. from Mr. Reginald Yorke, of N 0.45, St. James's-place, St. James's-street, a gentleman engaged at the Admiralty, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Sergeant Shil lingford, 4 C. The evidence taken on the last occasion having been read over, Sergeant Ackman, of the 12th Lancers, said the prisoner was a deserter from that regiment, having deserted in 1863. Ile then had the name of Felix Alderban Agreton. Sergeant Shillingjorcl said no such name as Agreton was known at Messrs. Cox's, and the prisoner's mother was in Millbank prison at the present time for en omnibus rob bery, and the prisoner had been three or four times there to see her. The prisoner entered into a lengthened statement de livered in a bombastic and effected manner, to the effect that he was born a gentleman, and that his "dear father" —an expression he made use of about a dozen times—was through misfortune in Milibank, that he had been in the 12th Lancers, and that he had led a bad life. If the magis trate would only forgive him this time ho would lead a better life and become a better man. He considered others —whose names his delicacy and feeling prevented him mentioning, were More to blame than he was. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the charge of attempting to obtain money by false pretences was proved against the prisoner, and he should commit him for three months, with hard As the prisoner was leaving the dock he exclaimed — A thousand thanks. Heaven bless you." - THAMES. ST. PATRICK'S DAY.—Thero was not a single case aris ing out of the observance of St. Patrick's day, before the magistrate, Mr. Paget, this morning, and there was a less number of Irish prisoners than usual for a Monday. The charges against them were of an ordinary description, and attended with no circuunstances of aggravation whatever. Inspector Beare of the K division, an old and experienced officer doing duty in Poplar, where there is a largo Irish population, said he never knew a quieter Saturday than St. Patrick's-day, 1866. It was the same in Limehouse, Shad well, Stepney, and Wapping. The Irish people were remarkably quiet and well-behaved on Saturday, and were in their homes earlier than usual. The district assigned to this court contains a larger Irish population than any other in tho metropolis, and the good order and sobriety which prevailed among them on Saturday was most remarkable, and deserves to be men tioned. Harris-court, Ratcliff, with its alleys and places, which is solely inhabited by the Irish, and has become proverbial for outrages and riots, was as quite as a church on Saturday, and yesterday Inspector Honey, of the K division, stated at a later period of the morning that he did not observe a single drunken Irishman or Irishwoman on' Saturday, and that the quietude of the district was most astonishing.

SHOCKING CASE.—Thomas Joseph Underwood, a coster mcnger, of No. 2, Angel-gardens, Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting his wife, a poor, squalid, careworn woman, who carried a half-starved child in her arms. The prisoner was intoxicated at dinner time yesterday, He abused his wife, and used foul language and throats towards her. He threw a fork at her head, and it lodged in it. He then kicked her and beat her, and on her escap ing from the house she went into the dwelling of her neigh bour ; he followed her and saized her by the hair of her head and beat her until she was senseless. He returned to his room, and threw a beautiful parrot with its cage and a dog on the fire. The bird and dog were severely burnt, and the remains of the parrot were produced. A constable named Clarke, No. 491 K, entered the place. There was a smell of burning feathers, the parrot was dead and par tially consumed. The dog could not be found. On the policeman asking the prisoner why he threw the dog and parrot on the fire, he said they were his own property, and he had a right to do what he liked with;them. His child was also burnt on the neck, but by what means the mother could not state, as she was insensible for some time after wards. She stated that she was the mother of nine children .joy the prisoner, the eldest being 21 years of age, and that her husband had very often beaten her. She could endure it no longer, and required a separation. Mr. Paget said he would not dispose of this serious case at present, and remanded the prisoner for a week. Economic Life Assurance Society.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the accounts just read, said that before he proceeded to make some remarks on the statement just submitted, he had to announce, and he did it with the deepest regret, that the board had felt the loss of their late colleage, Mr. Barber, who was taken from them after a very short illness, who was most conversant with the business of the office, and had always taken a warm interest in the success of the institution. They had elected in his place Mr. C. A. Barclay, a gentleman well known in the commercial world, who was in every way qualified to fill the office, and who was deeply interested in the welfare of the society. The business of the past year had been of a varied character, and there were some portions of the accounts which appeared at first sight to com pare very unfavourably with those of other years ; but he assured the meeting that, looking to the whole state of the business, they had every reason to believe that it was going on in a satisfactory manner. The number of proposals in 1865 was 553, against 599 in 1864, and the policies issued in 1865 were 466 as against 493 in the previous year. On the first blush of the thing that seemed to be a con siderable reduction in the business, but it was not so in point of fact, because the amount assured by the policies of 1865 was £479,000, the amount in sured by the larger number of policies in 1864 was £438,000. Taking it therefore as a whole that was satisfactory, and the more so because the total amount insured last year exceeded by no less than £93,000 the average annual sum insured, during the last five years. Then again, the average amount of the policies issued last year was £1,028, as against £8.15 the previous year, and the profit to the office was always greater on a large than a small policy, because there was as much trouble and labour re quired in effecting a small as a large insurance. The premiums on policies in 1865 amounted to £35,000 more than in 1864, and the new premiums were £15,154 in 1865 as against £13,065 in 1864, while there was another advantage they had gained from the fact that the policies issued were granted under table I, which was the one the directors liked the best, because it granted the greatest profit. (Hear, hear.) A year or two ago the board ob tained the sanction of the shareholders to issue policies of higher value than £5,000, and they had during the past year issued no less than six over that amount, and 18 up to it. The amount of claims paid in 1865 was £203,400, and in 1864 £201,700, but claims to a considerable extent had accrued which had not as yet been paid. In point of fact the number of claims had exceeded by no less than £BO,OOO the amount anticipated. They had investigated that matter as far they could, and had examined the policies to see whether or not they could account for it, but they could ascertain no thing further than that they had observed that taking a number of years together there had been a large increase of claims some years, and a corres ponding diminution in others. They had reason to believe that there was a sort of tide ebbing and I flowing with respect to human life, and there was little or no doul;t s that in the course of a few years I the number of claims would so diminish as to reduce this large exceptional year to the general average. The amount of the average claims was with bonus £l,OOO, and without £827. With respect to the duration of life, it had been rather shorter than it appeared in former years. In preceding years it was averged at about 60, whereas the average last year was 58f. There was a satisfaction in knowing that no clouds were without sunshine; a life had fallen in on which a bonus of no less than 114 per cent. had been paid. The assurer entered at a very early age, and died at the age 86, being assured for £l,OOO. It was satisfactory that they had extinguished otherwise than by death within the past year no less than-134 policies insur ing £95,000, which considerably lessened their liabilities with regard to the future. The grossin come from investments was rather larger than ap peared on the balance-sheet, because there are cer tain things coming in which are accruing by calcu lation in the office. The whole amount was about £150,680, which was £6,000 or £7,000 more than what appeared in the balance-sheet. That was due for interest on loans and other sources out of ob servation as it were. The apparent income in 1865 was less than in 1864, the reason of which was that it was thought advisable to make a large invest ment of their funds in reversionary securities, which were not open to every one, but which were extremely suitable to offices of this de 7 scription. They would see by the accounts that the large sum of £117,289 had been so in vested, and they had already made some profit by some of the investments having fallen in before it was anticipated that they would. Such things were matters of strict calculation, and he had no doubt whatever that they would come in as satis factory a manner as was anticipated. The best means of increasing their rate of interest was by paying attention to their investments, which was a subject alluded to at their meeting two years ago. Ile was glad to say that it was gradually increasing, and as it seemed not unlikely that the ordinary rate of interest in the money market would rule some what higher this year than last, he hoped they would receive some benefit by it. These were the princi pal points to which he wished to call their atten tion. It was suggested at their meeting last year that an attempt should be made to increase their business by advertising, which they took into immediate consideration. They expressed some doubt at the time as to the result of former efforts in that direction, but they thought, on the whole, that it would be a good plan to issue their ppspectuses by means of various popular periodicals, and by that means they had issued throughout the country 562,000 prospectuses, which being inserted in the leaves of different publications very widely read could not fail to attract the attention of the readers. After the expression of opinion at the last meeting they had spent without hesitation in that manner £540. At present they could not say they could trace any direct result from the effort, though they had undoubtedly received some proposals in consequence. They were in hopes that more would come by-and-by, because they had known their prospectuses come back with proposals a year or two after they had been issued. He was of opinion that being issued in that way in loose sheets they were often put away in desks, and when people thought of insuring they had recourse to them. He was of opinion that a good deal of business was obtained through solicitors and others, and it was their object to fur nish them with a statement of the advantages this association offered as compared with others. They were also desirous of extending their agencies, and no doubt a great deal of their success was owing to the exertions of trustworthy agents in different parts of the country. They had a good many agents, some of whom did a good deal of business, while others did very little, but they should always be glad to receive the names of trustworthy persons as agents. On the whole, they were quite satisfied with the progress they had made in the past year, and any little matters that appeared on the face of the accounts to be unfavourable could be satisfac torily explained. They felt quite satisfied that, taking all things into consideration, they were going on in that path of prosperity with which for many years they had been blessed. (Cheers.) He would now move that the auditors' report and the state ment of accounts be received and entered on the minutes. Mr. G. K. RICKARDS seconded the motion. Mr. TURNER said he had been assured in the office for a number of years, yet th s at was the. first occasion he had ever attended an annual meeting. He felt exceedingly gratified at what he had heard. He now thought there was great advantage in attending these meetings, because it enabled those assured to hear personally, which was better than reading, the exact state of their affairs. The ad vantage be bad received would enable him to talk with those of his friends who were not insured with the greatest confidence. Mr. COOPER said he felt certain that the increased outlay of the directors in seeking publicity would be sure to bear fruit. The greatest advantage was to be derived from making their office widely known. Of that he was quite convinced. When he was about to in sure his life, not seeing the Economic advertised in the newspapers, it came to his knowledge by ac cidentally turning over the leaves of a directory. He there found the great advantages held out by the Economic Compared with other offices, and if this remarkable feature in the office was generally known increased business must follow as a natural consequence. Mr. BARNARD said he was connected with two other assurance offices as well as the Economic, but the latter was by far the best and most advanta geous. Ile should like to know whether the chair man could not furnish the policyholders with the accounts a few days prior to the meeting ? It would be a great advantage if such could be done. The CHAIRMAN said the accounts were not complete until a very short time prior to the meet ing. If they were issued prior to the meeting that would be forestalling their annual proceedings, which could not be done in accordance with their Act. He had mentioned in the early part of their proceedings that a policy had become a claim with a bonus of 114 per cent. ; he believed there was another lately held by Mr. swells, the banker, which would carry 118 per cent. The resolution of the Chairman was then carried unanimously. The retiring auditors were re-elected ; and a cor dial vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman and directors, the proceedings terminated. Liverpool Cotton.

The following is an extract from a private letter, dated Feb. 24, relating to the improved method of extracting gold :—"Before leaving Colorado I had a long interview with James E. Lyon upon the subject of smelting the ores by his process, and from all the information obtained from him and others, it is a substantial success. They are now shipping bullion weekly from his furnaces, the last shipment of two days' smelting from one furnace was 2,512 oz. of gold. Mr. Lyon has thus established the fact by his new process that gold may be extracted from the native ore with as much ease and certainty as iron can be with the blast furnace. There is new at hand plenty of fire-clay, coal, and lime, and all other necessaries for the working of this process. There is now on exhibition at the Bank of North America, New York, a block of gold and silver weighing 158 pounds, and worth $ll,OOO in gold. It was taken out of Colorado oro by Lyon's pro cess. This establishes the fact beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Lyon's process is a grand and triumphant success, and deserves the attention, not only of Colorado but the whole investing world. This also establishes the fact that 90 per cent. of the gold from the native ore can be saved, which percentage has never been hitherto ap proximated to by any known process." MARK LANE. Tho trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa turday was very quiet, and in some instances previous quotations were with difficulty supported. Barley ruled firm, at full currencies. For oats, beans, and peas the trade was steady, on former terms. Flour sold heavily, at barely late rates. On the continent the wheat trade is very quiet, but good and fine qualities of produce aro held at full prices. For spring corn there is a moderate demand, at full prices. At New York, owing to an active inquiry on account of the Southern States tuad the British provinces, the trade for wheat and flour is very firm, but there is scarcely any ex port demand.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC jOURNALE. THE " ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES" ON ANDREW JOIINSON.—We have on so many occasions declared our faith and confidence in the extraordinary man who occupies the Executive Office in the United States that we shall be accused of no want of friendship for him when we express our sincere regret that he so seri ously compromised himself in his speech to the mob which surrounded his mansion on the 24th February last. We have hitherto refrained from alluding to that speech, because we were so shocked and pained at the spectacle which the Chief Magistrate of the American Republic had made of himself before the world that we had no desire to add one drop to the flood of censure and reproach which we felt sure would overwhelm him. But to keep silence longer would be to neglect a clear conviction of duty. In the singular and unfortunate speech of Presi dent Johnson we find no warrant for impugning his patriotism or doubting his devotion to the cause of the Union. We did not disapprove of his Veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, and we feel firmly assured of his sterling honesty and his Republican virtues. But these are not the only qualities which we should like to see in the Chief Executive Officer of the Great Republic. We should like to see in him dignity of manners and decency of language. We should like to find in him sobriety of conduct and unerring courtesy to all ; for if we look in vain for such traits in the head of a civilised and Chris tian nation, where else shall we look for them ? It is a matter for regret that Mr. Johnson should so far allow his resentment to get the better of his judgment as to forget that the difference be tween the President and certain leading Republi cans is a question of methods for obtaining the same end, and not of different ends. It is no ex cuse for the President that those whom he singled out by name for personal vituperation had already offended against him in a similar manner. When Mr. Sumner recently s poke i n the Senate of the President's policy as ‘‘ whitewashing" he only shocked the couxtry's sense of propriety thereby, and felt himself obliged, as quickly as possible, to explain and apologise for his rudeness ; when Mr. Stevens, in tho House, used that foolish phrase about a British king losing his head, which appears to have so greatly and needlessly irritated Mr. Johnson, the whole country exclaimed against it as an indecency, and even Mr. Stevens must have felt that he had greatly injured his own cause by such words. But the same sentiment of propriety and re spect which was shocked by the intemperate words of Messrs. Sumner and Stevens is still more outraged by the uncalled-for and offensive retort of Mr. Johnson. We are not of those who hold it impro per for the President to speak to the people ; we were nGt offended at Mr. Liiucoln's speeches, and shall not find fault with Mr. Johnson if he is moved to announce or defend his policy in a speech. But the President of the United States ought not to descend into the pit ; and instead of calling names, and indulging in personalities, he would have done well to imitate the noble patience with which Abraham Lincoln bore far bitterer gibes, far ruder attacks, from the same men. For the shocking and unseemly imputation Mr. Johnson Johnson chose to bring against Messrs. Stevens, Sumner, and others opposed to his policy, that their intention was to incite assassination, we trust that he will make haste to apologise, not merely to them, but to the country, which he has most grievously insulted. Such words as he uttered on that head would not be tolerated in the hastiest stump speech. They are too ill-judged and impulsive for us to think or write patiently about them ; and we count it no slight misfortune for the nation that its Chief Magistrate should have spoken in this style. Ten were arrested yesterday by Inspector Arm on suspicion of Nugent, a supposed F st e r n on ia g ni a s i m id . a T la i r v g o e , IpyaarrtyrenofapnodliNceu, deserter, were found 11n42, Francis-streetalodging-lioiise ; and w , High streetl9,to more ; at a 149, and Pis, at in the same str ee t.

They had all come to Dublin within a few months, some within a f6w weeks, and, though out of em ployment, they were living comfortably. It is sup posed they were waiting for the "rising."

The workings of this mill were as fol lows :-Ist run of 6k days, $1,500 ; 2d run of 7 days $3,800 ; 3d run of 7 days, $3,950 ; and by the addition of ten stamps to the mill of this company, as proposed, early in the spring, they expect to increase their returns to $B,OOO a week, and cost of working can bo reduced to $1,500 per week. Among the most prominent veins are the Lucy Phillips, Silver Side, Eclipse, Ravemoyer, Ross, Atlanta, Jessy Benton, BascBm, Walls, and Old Flag, with many others, all rich in gold and silver, and varying from 19 to 100 feet wide. The only drawback is mills to crush the rock, of which there is an abundance, and which can not bo excelled in any country. $1,000,000 expended in the purchase of machinery would more than quadruple itself in one year.

His subject was " The North Victorious," in contradistinction from Wendell Phillips's address " The South Victorious." Mr. Garrison, after briefly reviewing the effects of the war, and expressing his delight at having at last witnessed the fall of slavery, proceeded to attack the policy and character of President Johnson, who had, on Mr. Garrison said, " defiantly arrayed himself againsatlCgross and the popular will. This had caused dis quietude and alarm among the loyal masses p r a g e u e s d n i d e o g r n e t n general satisfaction among Southern rebels.

Referring back ts) the speech of the President on Washington's birthday, Mr. Garrison said.—." That speech, for its indecency, bombast, malignity, and treasonable leaning, no words can fitly characterise, and for that and other weighty reasons, he (the President) ought to be indicted by that grand inquest, the Federal House o f Representatives, tried by the Senate, and, for the peace and safety of the country, dismissed from office." Mr. Garrison stigmatised the President's censure of Sumner and Steven s as an artful attempt to imperil their lives by assuming to be in danger of his own. Of tlke President's censure of Congress, the speaker said : "He dares to brand Congress as a disloyal body. He means, if he dared, to perform a coup d'etat, and either to insist at the point of the bayonet upon having Southern rebels put i n t o C ongress or d r i ve Con gress out of the capi tal." Mr. Garrison was also severe upon Secretary Seward, saying ho might batter have died under the dagger of Payne, the assassin, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This IZE VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—THIS DAY.
