TILE FIRE AT EDINBURGH. —By order of the ma gistrates at Edinburgh, a communication was made by the City Clerk to Col. Darby Griffiths, of the Scots Grays, reporting to him the gallant and praiseworthy conduct at the Theatre Royal fire of Private Thomas M‘Lauchlan of that regiment, who happened to be in Edinburgh on furlough at the time. A letter of thanks has been re ceived from Colonel Griffith, stating that the City Clerk's letter would be read to the regiment on a general parade , on the return of li‘Lauchlan from furlough. ~...i ii „.„,- * ~ 'E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1865.

Exhibition. different gates, and the mob took advantage of this circum stance. A DISGRACEFUL WlFE.—Mary Smith was charged with violently assaulting and wounding her husband by striking him on the temple with a dinner plate. Richard . Smith, a pensioner from the army, who is em ployed as gate-keeper in Eaton-square, said that on Satur day afternoon his wife came home, and after abusing him in the vilest terms, threw everything she could lay her hand upon at him. Sho swore she would split his skull open, and inflicted a wound with a plate on his temple. Mr. Selfe inquired whether the woman was of a violent disposition ? The husband replied so violent that he was much afraid of her, although he had spent a long period of his life in the army. She would think nothing of taking his life, and had for years embittered his existence. There was no keeping her quiet. Mr. Selfe—Has she ever been in prison ? The husband—Repeatedly. This is the ninth time I have been obliged to bring her here for her violent conduct towards me. Dennis, the gaoler—Last time he brought her here she was committed for three months, and shortly afterwards, before she had served her time, he bailed her, and she was here again in less than a fortnight for again ill-treating him. The husband—lt's true I bailed her out, but it was through the clergyman at the prison, who wrote in her be half, and she promised to be quiet if I'd forgive her, but she was not. The wife said she wasn't bad in some respects, if she as in others.- Mr. Selfe ordered her to find good bail. A FIVE TIMES CONVICTED THrEF.—Andrew Howell, a powerful young man, and the terror of dock constables and river police constables, to whom he has given much trouble, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with steal ing 41bs. of pepper, the property of the London Dock Company. The prisoner was seen in the dock where he had no business. He was watched to the gate at the Wapping entrance, and instead of passing out at the wicket he got over the crapt passing through the lock. He was pur sued and captured in a lug boat, and on being brought on shore and searched 4lbs. of good clean pepper was found upon him. Mr. Paget asked why the prisoner should have gone over the craft when he could, have passed out at the gateway, and the reply was that it was done to evade the gate keeper, who would have stopped the prisoner. A Thames police constable said the prisoner had been a thief from his infancy, and had been summarily convicted five times for stealing, on one occasion 41b. of tallow, the second time for stealing 101 b. of coffee, a third time for stealing 391 b. of cocoa, on the fourth for stealing 1 cwt. of rice, and on the last occasion he was convicted by Mr. Woolrych, at the Southwark Police-court, for being on the river at 2 o'clock in the morning with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Paget asked if the pepper taken from the prisoner could not be identified. _ _ • The officer who arrested the prisoner said there was a good deal of pepper in the London-dock, and that 41b. could not be missed. He did' not know where the coffee was taken from in the dock. The prisoner said, in defence, that a man gave him the pepper. Mr. Paget said that was likely to be true, but it did not absolve the prisoner; no one in the dock had any right to take anything or give any of the property away. It was, however, more likely that the prisoner himself had stolen the pepper. The prisoner was an incorrigible thief, who got his living by thieving. There were five convictions against the prisoner, who was dangerous to society. He would most assuredly commit the prisoner for trial if he could, but there were some difficulties in the way. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour, for the unlawful possession of the pepper. He was sorry that the law did not authorise him to inflict a heavier sentence. He had little doubt that be fore many weeks elapsed the prisoner would be brought to that court for some other offence, and that his sentence in the end would be penal servitude for life. The Operative Coachmakers' ludustrial But few persons outside the pale of the livery of the city of London are aware of the fact that there exists a guild and mystery of " Coach, or Coach-Harness Makers," and that like other civic companies, it, too, has its City Hall, its wardens and masters, with the usual compliments of dinners and feastings. Of course the company is not so old as those which date back their existence to charters granted by the early Plantagenet kings, for the simple reason that coaches and coach harness were not known in those early days. About two hundred years since, how ever, King Charles granted a charter for the company, which after a slumber of nearly two centuries has awakened up to the necessity of doing something consistent with its name, and the purpose for which it was established. Last year the Company of Painters got up a very instructive exhibition, illustrative of the improvements which had taken place in their trade ; the Coachmakers have now followed the example thus set ; and on Wednesday a dis- play of the works of the operative coachmakers will be open for the public inspection. The exhibition will be held in the hall of the Coachmakers' Company, in Noble street, St. Martin's-le-Grand. The articles to be exhi bited are drawings, plans, designs, models, and superior work of the operatives; also loans by noblemen, gentlemen, collectors, coachmakers, and others, of works illustrative of the art of coach building and harness making. Mr. G. W. Hooper, the coach-builder, of the Haymarket, is the gentle man who has taken the most active part iu the manage ment and arrangement of the exhibition, and by his exer tions, in connection with the Society of Arts, he has suc ceeded in bringing together a very interesting collection. The Operative Coachmakers' Benevolent Society at one of their annual meetings were the first to suggest that a special opportunity should be given to that particular branch of trade, of illustrating in theory and practice its own ideas of design and construction; and that for this purpose periodical exhibitions should be organised, devoted exclusively to the productions of that particular depart ment of trade under the superintendence of a committee composed of both employers and operatives. The wor shipful Company of Coach and Harness Makers readily gave, as a matter of course, its support and assistance, and lent its hall for the purpose of the exhibition. It is under the special patronage of the Marquis of Lansdowne,who had undertaken to preside at its inauguration. The old hall in which the exhibition is to be held will of itself, as a relic of fernier times, be an object of interest. The nature and scope of the exhibition will be best judged of by the objects for which prizes will be given. The Society of Arts give prizes to the amount of £2O for work ing drawings for a private carriage, showing the construc tion of its various parts; heraldic or ornamental chasing in silver, brass, or copper, suitable for carriage or harness ; and heraldic or other metal ornaments produced by electro deposit, suitable for carriage or harness ornamentation. Prizes are !given by the Worshipful Company of Coach and Coach-Harness Makers and others for open and close carriage combined ; town barouche, or under and C springs; model of a light hospital carriage, to convey the sick poor ; stuffed and quilted carriage cushion in blue morocco leather ; drawing in pencil upon paper (half the full size) of an under fore-carriage for elliptic springs, of usual or original design ; landau pillar hinge ; specimen of panel of carriage painting, either plain or ornamental ; finished pad and bridle, for pair-horse harness ; the best covered car riage dash iron, sewed by hand ; working drawing of orna mental state lamp, suitable for a coach or chariot; model of brougham or barouche lamp ; full-size working models of furniture for pair-horse harness ; working drawings of bridle fronts ; working drawings of bridle rosettes, of new design ; working drawings of carriage door-handles, of new design; hard and soft solder plating. Minor prizes are to be given for working drawings for improved street cabs ; heraldic painting ; decorative coach carving ; drawings for an improved under fore-carriage for a brougham, com bining lightness and strength; ornamental carriage paint ing, imitation pedestal painting, sham caining; also for har monious combination of colours and perfection of surface ; for the best method of detaching fallen horses quickly, either in front or rear ; cushion, stuffed and quilted in any material ; new mode of trimming a carriage door ; design for a hammercloth, combining good effect and economy in cost, and others. The judges appointed are the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Torrington, R. C. Mansell Esq., S.E. Railway ; Mr. Hall, of Long-acre ; Mr, Holloway, of Mount -street ; and Mr. Rock, of Hastings. . Among the articles exhibited are models and drawings of early state carriages, royal and civic, of the old mail coach, now added to the curious relies of a past day ; omnibuses in which we look in vain for any great improvement since the days of the first Shillibeers ; railway carriages, as constructed on the Brighton Railway ; very curious speci mens of old heraldic painting ; old and new patterns of coach embroidery ; tasteful arrangements of hammercloths; and drawings and designs for carriages of every description. There are three very apparently practical inventions for releasing horses, when fallen, from carriages and harness; a mode of covering the step of a carriage when not required to be used, so as to keep it free from dirt and mud ; a mode of raising and lowering landau heads. In the matter of lamps an immense amount of ingenuity has been expended. The wood carvings and the drawings are very numerous, and form interesting portions of the exhibition. —Observer ,d, FlRES.—During last night and thiS morning a number of fires occurred in the metropolis. The premises of Mr. Marsden, a looking-glass maker, of Plough-street, Whitechal were destroyed ; the workshop of Mr. Bu rr, pe , likewise a—looking-glass maker, of Mintern-street, New North-road, and the house adjoining, were also destroyed; Mr. Phillips, a tailor, of High-street, Poplar, had his house destroyed in a similar manner; and there were two other fires at Bethnal-green and Shoreditch, each attended with considerable damage. MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday, good and home-grown wheats were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm ; but inferior qualities met a slow sale at late rates. Barley, with the exception of selected malting produce, which was in demand at fully previous quota tions, moved off slowly on former terms. The oat trade was steady, but for beans and peas the markets were quiet. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent at late re tes. The trade at New York is still very inactive, and scarcely any business is doing for export. On the Conti nent the corn markets generally are dull. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat from Essex were small ; but there was an increased show of Kent produce on sale. The total supply of produce on the stands, however, was very moderate ; nevertheless, the trade, generally speaking,• was in an inactive state, but without leading to any quotable change in prices from Monday last; indeed, the market, as far as the quotations are concerned, may be considered firm. The condition of the produce was tolerably good. The supply of foreign wheat on sale was but moderato; the amount of business transacted was small, yet no altera tion can be noticed in the prices current on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at late rates. With English barley the market was very moderately supplied, and the trade for all good and fine malting qualities ruled firm, at fully previous quotations. Inferior barley met a ; slow sale, at late rates. There was a good supply of foreign descriptions on the stands. Malt changed hands to a very moderate extent, at late prices. Owing lo the large importation, there was rather less activity in the oat trade. All good and fine samples, how ever, were in fair average request, at full currencies ; but inferior produce was rather lower in price than on Mon day last. The supply of home-grown oats on sale was very moderate. Beans were less freely offered, and the trade for them was firm,but without leading to any improvement in prices. Peas were in slow request, although the supply on offer was very moderate. The quotations, however, ruled stationary. :n flour, about an average business was transacted, at late rates.

For the time of year, the supply of foreign stock on sale to-day was somewhat extensive. Both for beasts and sheep the demand ruled inactive at barely previous rates. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were moderate as to number, and the quality of the stock was prime.: The supply from Scotland comprised 336 head, in excellent condition. The demand for nearly all breeds of beasts was in a somewhat inactive state, and, in some instances, prices favoured the butcher to the extent of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was ss. 4d. ; but some very superior stock realised ss. 6d. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, snd Cambridgeshire we received 2,200 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of Eng land, 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 336 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 180 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep on sale was small. The general quality of the stock being very middling, good and prime Downs and half breeds moved off steadily at fully late rates ; but inferior breeds were in slow request on former terms. The general top figure for mutton was 6s. 2d. per 81bs, Half-bred tegs and long-woolled sheep, carrying valuable skins, changed hands at high prices. There wero a few clipped• sheep in the layers, but, owing to the se ' verity of the weather, they are not exhibited for sale in the market. Calves were in moderate supply and steady request at late rates. The top price was ss. Gd. per 81bs. Pigs were in fair average request at previous quotations. _ _ _ Per 81b to sink the offal. adod s d s Crse.

Our market is very moderately supplied with home grown produce, the trade for which rules firm, at fully late rates. For good and fine foreign hops there;is a fair de mand, at full currencies ; but inferior qualities aro a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Last week's import was 90 bales from Boulogne, 83 Antwerp, 28 Dunkirk, 20 Ostend, 15 Hamburg, 152 Bremen, 20 Rotterdam, 160 pockets from Jersey, and 103 bales from New York. • Mid and East Kent ..... llos to 200 e Weald of Kent loss to 155 s Sussex. loos to 140 s Yearlings 100 s to live BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The changes in prices, however, are by no means important, but they are wholly in an unfavourable direction. The transactions, indeed, both it long and clean qualities have been much restricted. On the other hand, the inquiry for colonial wool in the private contract market has somewhat increased, and the dealings, though by no means numerous, have been to a moderate extent at full currencies. Advices from Australia state that the quality and condition of the new clip are good, and fully equal to last season's produce. Last week's import was 150 bales from Boulogne.

COURT OF, BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN RE STERNE.-AN OFFER OF 20s. TILE POUND. In this case the bankrupt was described as a Russian merchant, of St. Michael's House, and Mr. Bagley stated to-day that Mr. Sterne bad effected a deed of composition with his creditors to pay 20s. in the pound, and only re quired the confirmation of the Court in order that such deed might become binding on the creditors. In the first instance this case came before the Court under the 186th section of the Act of 1861, and now the learned counsel (who appeared for Mr. Sterne) applied under the 187th section for a confirmation of the previous order of the Court. There was no doubt that if the order were made it would prove to be beneficial to the interests 6f the groat bulk of the creditors, who were satisfied that it would be carried out as proposed. His Honour—What is the security for the payment ?_ Mr. Bagley—There is no security absolutely offered ; but I may say a few words to your Honour as to the debts. Now the total debts are £36,231, and of this sum the credi tors who have signed the deed represent £32,494. His Honour—Have the non-assenting creditors had notice ? • Mr. Bagley—They have had all that prescribed by the act, and this can be proved under affidavit. Mr. Brough—l am counsel for a creditor for £2,150 who has signed the deed, and he raises no opposition to the deed. His Honour said that if he were satisfied as to the secu rity for the payment of 20s. in the pound by instalments. there would be no difficulty ; but in the absence of opposi tion he would grant the order as prayed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.—John Alfred Clay, a youg man, living at No. 4, Simester-street, Harrow-road, decorator, and George Alfred German, a young man, described as a draper, Of No. 89, Great Port• land-street, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with throw. ing snowballs in Kensington-gardens yesterday afternoon, to the oommon danger of the passengers. Henry Matthews, park constable, No. 24, said—Yester day I was called by several gentlemen who came from Ken sington-Gardens into Hyde-park, who said they had been snow-balled by the Prisoners and others on going into the gardens. The defendants, with a number of others -500 or 600—pelted hiin and another keeper. We cau tioned the prisoners to desist, but they still con- tinned to throw on the persons from the bridge— ladies and gentlemen being the persons principally selected. At last wo got tho assistance of some gentlemen, and on going after the persons throwing they all made off. Lieutenant John G. Maleolmson, of the Bombay Cavalry and the Junior United Service Club, said—Yesterday after- noon I was by the Round Pond, and as I came towards the Serpentine I found a large number of men snowballing. I tried to get out of the way, when I was set upon and pelted by a large number of fellows. My hat was knocked off, I was knocked down, and then surrounded by 300 or 400 fellows and pelted with snowballs. A stick with which I tried to defend myself was broken to pieces by one of the crowd, and I was knocked down re peatedly. When I first saw the snowballing going on I thought it was only a game, but I soon found that it was not. Why I come here is not so much to punish the lads, who were not the ringleaders, and were two of the smallest, but because I did riot notice a single park _ keeper or constable present to stop it or to drive persons away. Some of the gentlemen at last formed together with the assistance of the park constables, and rushed down and drove the fellows off. I saw Clay dis tinctly throwing. I think the constables ought to have done something, ladies being served in the same way. I _ __ was very badly treated and was wet through. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Were there no park constable on duty while the affair was going on ? Lieutenant Mllcolmson—None, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt—We are much indebted to you, sir, for coming forward. Mr. Robert Whoble, of the Reform Club, said—l was in he Park yesterday afternoon, and consider what took place a disgrace to a civilised country. Whilst getting away from the snowball throwers a lad came down to me and said, " Don't go that way, for there is a fight between the Park constables and the roughs." Ido not think half a dozen constables enough at such times. I have not seen so many in the Park since the Garibaldi affair—they were like a swarm of bees. Some steps ought to be taken to prevent the recurrence of such a scene as that of yesterday, as, if there are not sufficient park constables, there ought to be a staff of the police present. I consider I was fortunate in escaping the treatment the first witness received. Inspector Draper, C Division —TM police do not do duty in Kensington-gardens. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l should like to know what point of hon our or nonsense prevents them doing so. Mr. Wheble—The park contables seemed to be paying more attention to the ropes across the ice and to the water fowl. Mr. George Shipton, 32, Great Marborough-street, said —Yesterday afternoon I was going through Kensington gardens by the Round-pond, when a piece of ice—not snow—was thrown at me and cut my face. I turned round but could not discover who threw it ; but in the bushes was concealed a number of persons who threw not only snowballs but pieces of ice. I was completely smothered with snow. I called the persons cowards, and made the best of my way to the bridge. I saw the first witness's hat knocked off, and when he went to use his stick for his protection it was broken in pieces. Several ladies as well as gentlemen were treated in a similar manner. A gentle man who had a child with him took it up in his arms and ran under the bridge for protection, but there he was pelted by a number of fellows. At last the gentleman made a sortie and drove the fellows away. Clay was taken into custody, and while on the way to the station, followed by a large crowd, German threw a snowball at me, and he was also taken into custody. Some of the persons in the mob then cried out " Get up your sticks and stones." Some of the constables did their dthy well, as the larger number of the mob consisted of men, but the scene was a very dis graceful one. Stephen Middleton, 623 A—At five o'clock yesterday afternoon I was on duty in Hyde-park, and seeing a large crowd coming from Kensington-gardens, I went towards it, and saw the prisoner Clay in custody ; and on the way German was given into my custody for throwing a snow ball at the last witness. Clay—l had only just come off the ice. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Nobody would care as long as you did not interfere with decent persons. The only thing in your favour is that you were not the worst. When the conduct of persons assumes such dimensions as on the present oc casion, it is time to deal with them, and strongly too. Kensington-gardens there formerly only used by the Royal Family, but they are now devoted to the public. There are no doubt park keepers enough on ordinary occasions, but not for such a day as yesterday, and why the police aro not admitted without it is to please the whim of one person I cannot tell, nor why they do not go down in a sufficient body to protect the public. What can half-r dozen men do with such a body as has been describe and with whom to be a gentleman is a very high offence Some sharp remedy for such conduct must be adminis. tered, and I shall fine Clay £3 or six weeks, and the other prisoner 40 shillings or a month. It is a great pity the other persons could not have been taken into cus tody also, those who were the worst—for I wouldhive sent them all to the sessions. Sergeant Cowdy, one of the Park constables, said—At the time the disorderly conduct was going on the park con stables were called away from duty to go and close the ✓~ The Dispute in the Building Trades The Birmingham Post, of Saturday, says :—" We are glad to be able to state that there is an imme diate prospect of a settlement upon an apparently permanently basis of all questions in dispute between the masters and operatives in the building trade. The discharge note, as our readers are aware, was withdrawn a week since, and in the resolution with drawing it the masters expressed themselves willing to meet a deputation from the men to discuss differ ences and agree upon a set of rules to be binding on both sides in the event of any further disputes. No notice of this resolution was officially communi cated to the men ; they only heard of it through the medium of the press. They held a meeting upon the subject, however, and wisely determined to communicate with the masters and ascertain whether the uncontradicted information pub lished last Saturday was accurate. Accordingly the operatives' secretary wrote to the masters' secretary, asking for an interview between deputa tions from both bodies ; and that interview being granted, the meeting took place on Friday. Th e masters were represented by Messrs. W. B. Briggs, Blore, E. Barnsley, C. Jones, J. Hardwick, G. Holmes, and W. Matthews. The deputation from the operatives consisted of Messrs. Price, Burton, Burgess, French, Jones, Gould, Matthews, and Sayer. The interview was of nearly two hours' duration, and matters were discussed in a friendly spirit on both sides. In reply to the men, the masters gave an assurance that the discharge note had been un conditionally withdrawn, and stated that the reason why the men received no notice of the fact was that the masters were not aware of the existence of a General Operatives Committee, which re presented the whole body of men on strike—they only knew of the committees of Trades Societies, and did not hold these to represent the whole body of workmen. This question being disposed of, the proposed meeting for a discussion of differences came under consideration. After a lengthy conver sation, the following conclusions were arrived at : That the masters shall meet by themselves, next Wednesday, to agree upon such rules for the regu lation of the trade as they may deem suitable, and that the men shall meet and agree upon such rules as they may deem suitable ; that early in the fol lowing week an equal number of masters and urn, appointed by their respective bodies, shall meet to discuss these rules ; that in case of dispute, each side shall choose a referee, and that the referees so chosen shall choose an umpire, whose decision shall be final ; and lastly, that the rules so agreed upon between the representatives of the masters and the representatives of the men shall be bind ing upon the whole trade, both masters and opera tives. These points being satisfactorily agreed upon, the deputation stated that there was no reason why the whole of the men should not return, and that they should advise them to do so on Monday morn ing. There being still a question in the minds of the men as to the three months' notice which it was agreed some time since should be given before any alteration in trade rules could come into force, the masters ,were asked whether they considered that rule to be still in force, and, if so, whether the pre sent arrangement ought not to be carried out with out any prejudice to the men in that respect. The masters replied that they did not consider the rule to be in force ; and it seemed to be generally agreed upon that all previously existing rules were now null and void, awaiting re-modelling at the hands of the forthcoming Conference." Lifeboat Services. PAR, CORNWALL, Sunday Night. During a heavy gale of wind from S. by W. this morn tng (reports Mr. W. E. Geach) the Fowey lifeboat of the National Institution put off to the assistance of a French lugger, then lying at anchor on the lee shore of St. Austell Bay, having a signal of distress flying. As soon as the ' vessel was discerned by the Coastguard at daybreak the lifeboat was launched, and under the command of her able and energetic coxswain, W. Heath, having also on board Mr Geo.Reddett, chief officer of the Polkerris Coastguard Sta tion, proceeded to the assistance of the vessel and crew. The sea was running high and the windblowing a gale. The lug ger hung heavily on her cables, which were expected to part on the approach of every sea. The coxswain and chief officer boarded and took the command, the lifeboat hanging on to windward. Sail was immediately set, the anchors shipped, and the vessel was brought safely into Par Harbour. A galley from Polkerris also put off, and to show the great danger her crew incurred in attempting to cross the bay in such weather, as soon as they got on board the ship their boat was instantly capsized and lost. So rough was the sea in crossing the bay to Par that no other than a lifeboat could have lived in such weather. The vessel proved to be the La Maria Francois, Le Pere Sam son, Arthur Jeangert, master, 67 tons, four men, from Portsmouth to Par in ballast. NOBLE GIFTS.—The following special gifts, for the pur- ' chase of the lifeboats hereinafter named, were presented last year to the National Lifeboat Institution :—Berwick on-T weed, Bridlington, Cardigan, and Carmarthen Bay, collected in Manchester, by Messrs. R. Whitworth, J. G. Bell, and Rev. E. Hewlett, £940 10s. 10d.; Alnmouth, Miss Wardell, £320 ; Redcar, Messrs. John Crossley and Sons, am ; Whitby, No. 2, Dr. H. W. Watson, £lBO ; Donna Nook, Robert How, Esq., and Miss How, £350 ; Theddlothorpe, Mrs. B.

T. Allcroft, Esq., £250 ; Tranmore, Cambridge University Boat Club, £250 ; Ardmore, a Friend, £3OO ; Valentia, a Lady, £5OB. Making a total of £8,327 lls. 10d. As each lifeboat station requires £5O a-year, to keep it in a state of efficiency, the institution must necessarily require a large annual income to maintain its 140 lifeboats, which are now stationed on various parts of the coasts of the United Kingdom, and which save every year nearly 500 lives from shipwreck. Extraordinary Case of Arson and Forgery at Derby• At the Derby Polico-court on Saturday last, before the Mayor and other magistrates, David Gray, eating-house keeper, Sadler-gate, Derby, was brought up on remand charged with setting fire to his premises on the Bth of January last, for the purpose of getting the insurance money. Mr. Leech appeared for the prosecution, instructed by the Notts and Derby Insurance Company and the Western Insurance Company. Inspector Fearn and several of the police force were called to prove that the fire took place, and also narrated the sus picious circumstances attached to it. Mr. Edward Cozens Smith, sub-manager of the Com mercial Union Fire-office, London, said prisoner effected an insurance with their office at Lady-day, 1863, for £3OO up street,nhis u f p urn per it w ur o e r , th st_o s c t ic ree ezc. ; he t,popl th arN en live ewT d at 8, owNan J d ohn- de scribed himself as a flour and hop merchant. He knew that he was insured in the London Corporation Office at the same time for £7O. On the 28th April, 1863, he had a fire, and the London Corporation Company paid him £5 for his loss. At Christmas, 1863, prisoner took out a policy in the Commercial Union Office for the sum of £lBO on his furniture, stock, etc. He then resided at Cot ton-street, Limehouse. On tha Ist Feb., 1861, a fire took place, and prisoner sent in a claim for £155, which was paid him.

OLD COURT. The sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this day before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the other functionaries. The Recorder, in charging the Grand Jury, said the calender, though limited, as far as numbers were concerned, was of a very serious character. There was a charge A murder against Serafino Polioni, who stood indicted for killing Michael Harrington. The lamentable occurrence took place in consequence of a public-house quarrel near Saffron-hill. The whole of the evidenco would be laid before them, and it would be for them to say whether there was a prima facie case against him ; if so, it would be their duty to return a true bill against him. There were three charges of demanding money with threats, and it was much to be regretted that this affair seemed to be on the increase. There was a very voluminous case against two persons named Birch and Terry, late of the Unity Bank, who stood charged with having published a fraudulent balance sheet. The proceedings were taken under 24 and 25 Vic., which laid down who were the proper parties to be sued as public officers in such matters. .As far as he had been enabled to read the depositions, it appeared to him that Birch, who was a paid secretary, was not iu the position of a public officer, but with respect to Terry, the manager, the case was different. The investigation would be very complicated, owing to the immense quantity of books and documents that would have to be examined, but he had no doubt they would be enabled efficiently to discharge their duties. The learned gentleman having referred to the other cases comprised in the calendar, which were of the same order, remitted the Grand Jury to their duty. In a short time the trials commenced. John Dring was indicted for receiving a quantity of shawls, well knowing them to have been stolen. NEW COURT. Mary Ann Thing, wife of the above prisoner, was in dicted for uttering counterfeit coin. She pleaded guilty. The Common Sergeant said hers was a very bad case. She had been frequently punished before for the same offence, and the one for which she was now about to un dergo punishment was committed very near Newgate. It appeared she had been to visit her husband previous to his trial, and on leaving the prison she had gone to a public house and passed a bad half-crown. She had also been charged with pot-stealing, and he had no doubt the articles had been converted into counterfeit coin. The learned Judge then sentenced her to five years' penal servitude. G. Dolton also pleaded guilty to uttering coin. There was a number of former convictions against him. The Common Sergeant sentence him to seven years penal servitude., SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.
