The defendant said he had no idea he was offend ing against the law, and the practice was very common amongst grocers, especially in London.

THREE MEN BURIED ALIVE.—On Thursday at Ashworth Colliery, Rochdale, a portion of the roof fell in, without giving any warning, and buried john Lord, Thomas Howarth, and Richard Howarth.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. - -411. - COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BEDFORD V. BEDFORD AND MATHEWS. This was a suit instituted by the husband against the wife for dissolution of marriage. The respondent recrimi nated the charge of adultery. The parties resided near Bath, and for some time family differences arose between them which led to great unhap piness, and eventually to separation and the presentation of the present petition. The evidence in support of the allegations of the peti tioner having been beard. The counsel for the respondent said he was in a position to prove that the petitioner had committed adultery since the presentation of the petition, and therefore he was not in a position to come before the court and to ask for relief. A witness was called to prove that he saw the petitioner under such circumstances that denial of the accusation was useless. John Edwards, of the Bath constabulary, said he also saw the petitioner, in 1863, about Christmas time, commit adultery in the open road, a short distance from the city. He met him on the occasion about 9 o'clock at night, in company with a female, and afterwards he watched him, and he (witness) satisfied himself as •to the nature of the fami liarity between the petitioner and his companion. The Court said as this charge did not not appear in the petition he should adjourn the case in order that it might be amended, and that the petitioner might be enabled to bring forward rebutting evidence, if such was in his power. He, however, thought that if the different counsel en gaged in case met, some arrangement might be made to prevent the case coming again before the Court. The act of adultery, as matters stood, had been proved against the petitioner, and, of course, it would be necessary to meet it. After a conversation between the counsel engaged in the case, it was adjourned until Thursday next. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in hearing Mr. Bovill in a case in which damages were sought to be recovered for an infringement of a patent taken out for the purpose of preventing the manufacture of twisted nails. -- POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—Mary Budg man, having a child in her arms, and giving her address in Prince's-row, Newport-market, was charged with steal ing, at the St. Martin's baths and washouses, Orange-street, Leicester-square, some shirts and other articles, the pro perty of John Green, residing in Castle-street, Long-acre. The wife of the prosecutor was at the washhouses yes terday, when the prisoner offered to hang up some shirts for her, and took them away under that pretence. Instead of doing so, however, she walked off with them. The matron was then communicated with, and she gave the prisoner into custody. The prosecutor did not wish to press the charge. - The prisoner said she was sorry. She did it from hunger, her child having no bread to eat. Mr. Mansfield said that Was no excuse, as the prisoner could have gone to the parish for relief. He considered it a case he could not pass over Without punishment, the prisoner having robbed a poor woman like the prosecutrix. He should commit the prisoner for seven days with hard labour. THAMES. CATCHING A TARTAR.—Jane Macdonald, a well-dressed, red-faced woman, fat, fair, and forty, bristling with impa tience and vexation, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with assaulting Mr. James Darling, a tradesman, of 241, High-Etreet, Shadwell. The complainant said he was on a footpath in the High street, talking to a friend, when the prisoner, who took up a good deal of room with her crinoline and extended dress, passed, and the fringe of her shawl caught one of his but tons and tore it. The prisoner turned round and scalded him for tearing her shawl, and said he was no gentleman. He assured her it was an accident, that he was very sorry, and before he could say more she struck him on the face with her fist. She laid hold of him by the collar, and was about to repeat her blows, which he had much trouble to avoid. He could not strike her because she was a woman. The prisoner—l should like to have seen you strike me ; you would hay caught it if you had, a good-for-nothing fellow. (A laugh.) Mr. Partridge—You must not call him names here, Mrs. Macdonald. George Petty, a police-constable, No. 96 K, said that he saw the prisoner strike Mr. Darling, and she faced himlike a pugilist. The prisoner—Oh, you vile wretch. (A laugh.) The gentleman put his hand on my shoulder and tore my shawl. If my husband had been there he would not have taken advantage of my weakness. (Great laughter.) Mr. Partridge—Now, really, Mrs. Macdonald, you have not exhibited any weakness, but considerable strength of fist. You ought not to have struck him. You must apologise to the complainant. Mrs. Macdonald (loftily)—l do tender an apology. Will you accept it, sir ? Mr. Darling—l do accept your apology, but don't hit so hard again. Mr. Partridge—You aro discharged, Mrs. Macdonald ; go away. THE IRISHMAN AND THE LEAD.—THOSB THAT HIDE CAN FlND.—Charles M'Callygate, aged 39, and James Sullivan, 45, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with steal ing llilbs. of lead, the property of the London Manure Company, Borough-wharf, Millwall, Poplar. It appeared that the prisoners belong to what was called a " field gang," and had been employed at Plough-wharf several years, and had the reputation of being honest and industrious fellows. For some time past at intervals lead and other property had been missing from the premises. The prisoners were not suspected, but other men were, and a sharp look-out was kept. Yesterday two pieces of lead were found under a hurdle in the vitriol chambers on the works, by Mr. John Wilson, the foreman. A strict watch was observed, and in the evening the prisoners were seen by a man named William Jones to remove the lead, which they concealed about their persons. On reaching the street on the way home a policeman, 409 K, stopped the pri soners, and asked them if they had any lead on their per sons. Both said they were honest men, and had nothing but what belonged to them. They were searched, and the lead found concealed under their clothes. 'll' - - - The prisoners said they found the lead in the factory. Mr. Partridge—No doubt. Those that hide can find, You concealed the lead in the place you took it from. The prisoners said they helped themselves to the lead for a drop of drink. Mr. Partridge—This is a very serious offence. You have injured the premises by the way you have been stealing material; and caused suspicion to fall on others who are honest. You are sentenced to six weeks' impri sonment and hard labour. WES TMINS TER. ANOTHER CASE OP DOG -BITING.---AS. M‘Dowel, a trades man in business in Cartwright -street, was summoned for having in his possession a ferocious dog. It appeared that the defendant lives in Cartwright street, Pimlico, and that in tho afternoon of last Tuesday week, while the daughter of Mr. Livermore, a neighbour, who resides in th e adjoining house, was standing at the door of it, the d og , - which was passing, ran at her and bit her in the leg. Th e mother lifted up the child and took it to a surgeon, who dressed the wound. She had not seen the dog before. In answer to Mr. Arnold the witness stated that she did not know whether the animal had bitten any one before. A man named Keith said that the dog had made an attempt to bite him, and he knew it had bitten two persons before. Mr. Arnold—What sort of dog is it P The witness replied that it was not a large dog. Mr. Arnold asked the defendant if he paid a tax for the animal? Defendant replied that ho did not. Mr. Arnold observed that if tax-gatherers looked after those who had dogs, and who paid no duty for them, there would net be so many dogs about as there were. He should remand the case to see the dog. The defendant was then remanded. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK.—Monday—London Mathematical, at " Regular Hypocycloidal Tricusp," Mr. Jenkins ; Asiatic, at Bf, "Native Social Life in India," Rev. J. Long. Tuesday—Statistical at 8, " Statistics of Clearing-house," Mr. Lubbock ; " Economic .Condition of Highlands and Islands of Scotland," Mr. Levi. Wednesday—Literature, at 41; Meteorological, at 7, annual general meeting. Thursday—Zoological, at 4.—Athena em. lIANDEL FESTIVAL.—The final choral rehearsal at Exeter Hall took place last night, with the most satisfactory effect. The country performers will arrive on Thursday next, to be in time for the great full rehearsal at the Crystal Palace on the 23d inst. The eleven great rail way companies which have undertaken to issue excursion tickets, including admission to the festival, have published their announcements, and almost every town in the king dom will be provided with the greatest possible facilities for attending this grand musical celebration. It is remarked, as a curious fact, that of the many priests who stood round the high altar of St. Mary's, Moorfields, on the occasion of the consecration of Dr. Manning last week, there were not less than 100 who had either been iu orders of the Church of England, or had been fellows of English colleges in their day.—The Reader. SAFETY SIGNALS DURING RAILWAY REPAIRS.— The following simple regulations have been sub mitted for consideration :—When any part of the line is under repair the drivers and guards to be informed of the precise spot, with orders to reduce speed within a mile of it, and to go over it at a rate. not exceeding five miles an hour. The places under repairs to be conspicuously in dicated by special signals by day and night. Several corn stacks and a part of the farm build ings at Ashley-hall, Cheshire, were destroyed by fire on Monday night. The fire was tho work of an incendialy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, ASCOT RACES.---FnmAr. But for the attraction of the Alexandra Plate, the. card for the last day would have been a light one. The new additions and conditions of this important race drew an attendance much above the average of last days, and the Royal meeting terminated, as it beganjwith brilliant suc cess. There was a good entry for the Wokinghams, and the Twelfth Ascot Triennial looked as if it might be a race between Farewell and Breadalbane: The First Woking ham was a clever win for The Swift, who defeated his field after a fine race with the Beatrix colt and Gem of the Sea. The favourite Vabalathus was a bad fourth. The Second Wokingham looked a good thing for Charity, and she won all the way, quitting her horses at the stand and going in a very easy winner by some half-dozen lengths. The Twelfth Ascot Triennial was a very hollow win for Broomielaw, who looked 'uncommonly well. Farewell lacked the stride of Mr. Chaplin's horse, though he made a plucky effort opposite the stand. The Alexandra, Plate—last year a handicap with 500 sovs. added—is now that much more commendable insti tution, a weight-for-ago race. The sum has been in creased to 1,000 sovs, which, with the 25 sovs sweepstakes, makes it a rich prize. The entry was, however, hardly commensurate with the importance of the stake—only 34 subscribers, and of these 21 paid forfeit. Tho field was good in quality, comprising Fille de P.Alr, Baragah, Straf ford, Planet, Young Rapid, Cathedral, Blackdown, all horses of some stamp, more or less. The French mare was again an object of mystery as to the intentions of her owners. Pity it is so, but unfortunately the name of Fille de l'Air will be associated with disagreeable recollections in turf annals. We saw her beaten yesterday in the Cup after pulling hard all the way, and the natural infer ence was that she would not improve on that form to-day. But the very knowing ones shook their heads and quietly got on early in the day before she came to be second favou rite, which she was prior to the start. Baragah was backed as if he could not lose, and Claremont was to make the running for him. The 13 were soon under way, and Ed wards and Stanton took the lead for the first half-mile or so, but was then passed by The Tartar, who went on with the running along the Swinley bottom ; but he in turn re signed it to Bally Edmond, who came on closely attended by Strafford and Fille de l'Air, the latter looking a winner as she came up the hill, till Custance brought Strafford with a tremendous rush ; and it appeared as if it was going to be General Peel and Ely over again, but the mare run ning with her usual gameness, just managed to get her head in front in the last stride. It was an extraordinary specimen of in-and-out running, to say the least, and of course it was much commented on, more especially by those who had backed her yesterday, but declined following suit to-day. Harry Grimshaw said she could not live with her horses in the Cup. All we know is, that pulling double round the turn, she suddenly gave way at the enclosure. We must add that Jennings, who had backed her for the Cup, was not at all sanguine to-day. Still the mare was backed, there is no doubt—her price showedhat—and the chosen few who "peppered" her yesterday, and got on her to-day, may well pride themselves on their sagacity. We may mention that William Boyce on Hollyfox receding from 6 to 20 to 1, requested Mr. Perry to put another jockey up ; but Mr. Perry, having every confidence in him, refused to do so. It must have been rather a surprise to Whitewall to see Baragah beaten by Strafford. John Scott, we believe, said the two horses had never been put together, and they knew nothing in reality about them. Lord Glasgow's horse certainly gave Baragah a 71b beating. The other events do not call for much remark, Rarely has there been a more successful gathering, favoured as it has been by everything that could conduce to success. The takings at the stand have been enormous,and the addi tional private boxes a good speculation. The police ar rangements were perfect, and we have already spoken in high terms of the manner in which the railway service was performed. Where there is much to praise, it is a pity there should be anything to blame. The prices charged, however, for telegraphic messages were most extortionate. A Plate of 100 sovs ; 2-yr-olds, ist ; 3-yr-olds, 9st 21b ; with maiden allowances ; entrance 1 soy each, to go to the second. T.Y.C.

Crossbow jumped away with a slight lead, having Thor at his girths, close up with whom were The Fowler and Lady Sophia, with Camball and Heir-at-Law lying wide on their right, and Arabia wide on the Stand side. On crossing the road the leader was beaten, and Thor, in company with Arabia and Lady Egidia, the favourite, and Heir-at-Law came on nearly in a line to the distance. Heir-at-Law drew slightly in' advance of Camball, the pair as they neared the Stand being clear of Lady Sophia and Arabia. A fine race ensued between the first two, Camball getting up in the last stride, and winning with nothing to spare by a neck. Lady Sophia was a bad third ; Crossbow finished fourth. Arabia fifth, and Leoville sixth ; then, at an interval of several lengths came Lady Egidia and the Mayonaise geld ing, side by side, followed by The Fowler; Orange Boy and Lord Craven were the last two.

Amber made play, having The Beadle, Beatrix colt, and Gem of the Sea lying up, and in the rear of these, but wide of their horses, came Light and The Swift. At the distance Amber was beaten, and the running was taken up by The Beadle, who, with Gem of the Sea and Mr. Barne's colt in close company, carried it on the Stand; they were then headed by The Swift, who came up on the right, and won a fine race by three-quarters of a length ; the Beatrix colt de feated Gem of the Sea in the last stride by a head for second place ; Vabalathus was fourth, close up, The Beadle fifth, Imogene sixth, and Caloyer next ; then came Amber and Light, and some distance in their rear were Vigilant and Sevington.

They retained these positions, with trifling, if any, alterations, up the hill to the stand, where Tartar, resolutely overpulling Goater, headed Stanton and came past the judge's box several lengths in advance of Bally Edmond, Blackdown, and Strafford, close in whose rear were Mlle do l'Air, Breeze, Baragab, Stanton and Cathedral. Tho lot ran in a body to the top turn, wher Tartar improved his position, and descended the hill upwards of three lengths in advance of his immediate followers.

Di Worcester Autumn Warwickshire and Leam ington Hunt STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 16.—We have again had a very heavy demand for all classes of shipping yarns, at prices about ld. per lb. above the advance of Tuesday. Spinners, generally, are now very deeply under contract, and any further business will pro bably have to be done at still higher rates, while considerable time will have to be given for delivery. For this class of yarns the market closes strong. The home trade yarn-market has also been strong, with prices fully Id. per lb. above the rates of Tuesday. The great advance checks business to some extent, and there has hardly been as much doing as on some previous days of this week. The cloth-market has been more active than of late. Since Tuesday there has been a considerable inquiry for most descriptions, and even India goods have participated in it to some extant. The advancing prices of cotton and of yarn have, of course, com pelled manufacturers to advance their quotations, and as these have not been f ollowed in the same degree in the offers made by buyers, it has been impossible to do anything like a large business in this class of fabrics. There has been more activity in the finer classes of cloth and in printers, and for these the de mand still continues. Each day since Tuesday a fair business has been done in these descriptions of cloth, and prices have been constantly advancing. Yester terday and to-day the demand has been active, but to day there has been less business than was expected, owing to the advanced quotations necessitated to cover the high prices of cotton and yarn. Buyers are mostly willing to pay some advance, but they fol low reluctantly and with much hesitation a rise which has been so continuous as well as considerable. The aggregate business of the week in cloths has been rather large. NOTTINGITAM;I6 th. —There was a tolerable attend ance on 'Change to-day, and the demand ruled healthy for lace yarns, at an advance of 2d. per lb. on Tuesday's rates for medium numbers ; fine and coarse numbers about the same as heretofore. The demand for hosiery yarns was firm, and prices were is. per 101 b. bundle higher. Silks dearer. Spun silks (long) were I.s. 6d., and short spun 6d. per lb. higher. There was not much alteration in the value of brown nets, but business on the whole was rather better. BLAKELY ORDNANCE COMPANY.—This company is being formed to carry out on a large scale Capt. Blakely's well-known inventions in ordnance, of the im portance of which some notion may be gleaned when it is stated that within the last two years upwards of 50 guns have been turned out by the present limited factory, each of which is said to be more powerful than any gun in her Majesty's service, if perhaps we make the one single ex ception of the experimental one called " Big Will." The present proprietors of the, works guarantee 15 per cent. profits, so that the investment, it would seem, is rather a good one, particularly when it is considered that the guarantors are Capt. Blakelyand Mr. Dent, the well-known Rothschild of China. We are glad to find the shares rising in the market.—Globe.

PRUSSIA. -- - BERLIN, June 16.—The committee on the budget of the First Chamber proposes in its report to reject the budget of 1865, as it has issued from the deli beration of the Second Chamber, and because it does not appear to be in conformity with Art. 99 of the Constitution. The First Chamber proposes to invite the Government to fix and declare, as normal expenses, those which shall be necessary to carry on the services of the Government in a proper manner, and such as is befitting to the mission of Prussia.

General Sherman arrived in New York on the Ist of June, and took up his temporary residence in Twenty-third-street, where a great number of per sons called on him. Amongst the number was a Herald reporter, to whom he remarked that his visit to New York was simply of a private nature. He wished to see a few personal friends, and expressed the hope that his movements would receive as little publicity as possible. As to the length of his stay in New York, he could not give any decided answer. In the afternoon he rode out to the Central-park, ,and was recognised by some who cheered him as he passed. Shortly before nightfall the General appeared on the balcony of the house, after returning from his ride, and stood there for some time enjoying the refreshing breeze then blowing. Few passers by were aware of the fact, but two hours later knots of persons congregated on the side walk and watched carefully, in order, if possible, to catch a glimpse of one whom they had learned to honour. But the bird had flown for the time being. He had gone to Niblo's Garden in company with General Van Vleit and Mr. Scott, jun. At the garden he was shown to a stage box, fronting the audience. On entering he was immediately recognised, and cheer upon cheer was sent up in his honour. Renewed calls were made upon him for a speech, but without effect. He merely bowed his acknowledgments. After about an hour's stay he retired, and then a grand rush was made by all contiguous to the box, in order to shake the hand of the popular commander. With great effort a passage was made for him, and he at length made his escape through a back entrance to the Metropolitan Hotel, where he remained for some time, and then returned home. At 12 o'clock General Sherman reached Mr. Scott's house in Twenty-third street. He walked the entire way coming from and going to Niblo's Gardens. A crowd had lingered around the house the entire even ing, and swelled to somewhat respectable numbers at 12 o'clock. When the General came up he was immediately surrounded. He ascended the stoop, however, and, taking off his hat, said :—" Boys, I am not going to make any speech in New York, so you need not wait here. I am much obliged to you for coming to see me. Good night." A Voice— "We want to look at you, General. General Sher man—" You will see me in broad daylight to-mor row, riding down Broadway." A Voice—" Come down, and let us shake your hand." The General then descended and went through a severe ordeal of hand shaking. Voice—" General, we are your army." General Sherman—" Oh, I have an army of 100,000 men, the best I ever saw." Three cheers were then given for the General, when he entered the house, and the crowd dispersed. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day. LONDON, June 17.—Wind N.E.; fresh breeze, and fine.

Ellen Riley, the woman who recently escaped from a nunnery near Chelmsford, Essex, has been fined £5 or one month's imprisonment for obtaining a situation by means of a false character. A few days ago, a shepherd at Strathdon saw a cat engaged in a fight with an adder. Thinking that puss would be fatally stung, the shepherd put an end to the strange encounter by killing the adder with a stick. COMING FROM THE DERBY.—It was not long be fore we were assailed with a shower of chaff and peas. George was commanded for a hundredth time to come out of his hat. Miss Croucher was asked for a lock of her hair, and frequent inquiries were made of Mr. Gandy and myself if we didn't feel very well. This last being a sarcastic allusion to the rigid gentility of our behaviour. Miss Croucher laughed outright at a joke once, and was se verely reproved by Mrs. Gandy. She didn't laugh again for two miles, no more did I, and the consequence was that the jokers were more severe upon us than ever. " Was we so worry ill ?" " Would we take a drop of summut to cheer us up ?" " Had we lost heavy on Breadalbane, or what was it ?" And when a van fell behind and caught us up again, the people cried, " Slap bang ! here we are again !" and sang, "So jolly, so jolly, oh !" in mockery. Even the Mossoos, elated with the success of Gladiateur, chaffed us in broken English. Dreading three more hours of this, I came to a secret understanding with Miss Croucher. It was that we were to smile privately at our assailants with the view of conciliating them. This we did most elaborately, grinning like Cheshire cats at all the jokes, and playfully, in a kitten-like way, putting up our paws to ward off tho sportive peas. We winked also, and nodded our heads sig nificantly, as much as to say, "There's a stiff-backed old gal here who won't allow us to lark ; but we're the right sort, so don't be too hard upon us." This had some effect in mitigating the violence of the dead set that was elsewhere made against us, and we managed to reach Clapham with out coining in contact with either flour or oranges. Miss Croucher was bound, in courtesy, to say that she had never spent a pleasanter day in her life ; and so was I ; but we nudged each other and exchanged winks as we said so ; and, escorting Miss Croucher home afterwards, I told her how I had once gone to the Derby in a van, and enjoyed myself very much, and Miss Croucher was delighted with the narration, and said if I would go that way next year, she would put on a thick veil and accompany me on the sly. —Dickens's "All the Year Round." At the Central Criminal Court yesterday James Whalley Cathrill and Edwin Dresch were charged with forging a will. Cathrill was sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude and Dresch to ten years' penal servitude. THE MURDER AT ISLEWORTH.— The causes which led to the murder of Mrs. Dawson by her hus band still remains a mystery. All that is known is, that between 8 and 9 on Wednesday night the police received information of the horrible crime. They proceeded to the house, and found Mrs. Dawson in the garden dead, with her head nearly tut off. They then followed a track to the river, and there they found the woman's husband, Samuel Dawson, standing in the water with his throat cut. They arrested him, and sent for two medical men, who with great difficulty sewed up the wound in his throat. Ile was then carried to the local workhouse, where yesterday morning he was still alive. It appears that Dawson and his wife bore very good characters in the neighbourhood, and that the family, which consists of three or four children, were prin cipally supported by the murdered woman, who was a laundress. )11 1 " )Ch- ow the ling L eeS3 ince 20 a nd s ster - orn• ss Of 9,ior° 'dont Buff, ?lora as of ~o rd 6 °roe' %flied 0 the lUG II neral Indian enure ,OUi °6 fro' .ed in VW . le an ci Amore' 1 1 1 ° 12 ; OW' baZoll - ----,,--,.._ 10 100 'Co 160 100 100 100 100 14 0 482 4 1241 i 1381 i 791 9 n 21
