This was a' motion by the plaintiff, a part proprietor of a mine at Bradford, Yorkshire, for an injunction to restrain the defendant, who had some ironworks in the neighbour hood, from discharging any portion of the water from his works into the mine of the plaintiff. It appeared that originally" the defendant discharged the mill at some dis tance from the mine, but that latterly it had overflowed or had been so diverted as to get into the mine to the detri ment of the plaintiff's property, and from its noxious pro perties it was calculated to prove injurious to the health of the parties employed by the plaintiffs. The defendant admitted that from iron pyrites and other materials he had to use in his work a very disagreeable smell was generated, but he denied that it caused any serious inconvenience to the plaintiff. The Master of the Rolls delivered judgment, and granted the plaintiff an injunction in perpetuity, but said ho would give defendant ample time before he considered that he infringed the injunction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. - - --So- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH NEGLECTING TO PAY HIS CAB FARE.—Mr. Wm. Burroughes, of No. 46, Wigmore street, Cavendish-square, was brought before Mr. Knox, on a warrant, charging him with unlawfully refusing and omitting him to pay William Joseph Newton, cab pro prietor, of No. 10, of Ann's-place, Milman's-row, Chelsea, the sum of 6s. for the time of his cab. Tho complainant said—About 11 o'clock on the morning of the sth of January the defendant got out of a Hansom cab, saying that he would not ride with such a brute of a fellow any more, and then said to me, "I hope you have a good horse, and are a civil driver. I will engage you by time." The defendant then told me to go to No. 61, Grosvenor-street. When I got there the defendant mid, "Is your horse quiet, and will he stand at the door." I said it would, and he then told me to come into the house, which I did. The defendant said he was going to write a note, and that he wanted me to take it to the Lost Property-office of the Great Western Railway, as he had left his hat in a train. The defendant then wrote the note, and, on remarking that he had not put his name and address to it, he said I was a clever cabman, and not like the generality of them. I then went to the Great Western Railway, but after waiting there some time, and the hat not being found, I left and went back to No. 61, Grosvenor-street, and to my surprise the defendant was gone. The page told me that the defendant had said, that as I had been gone so long he could not wait. I then went to the London and Westminster Bank, to the defendant's club, and afterwards to Nelson's Hotel, but could not find the defendant. I waited there till two o'clock and then left, and went again at six o'clock the same evening to the hotel, and while speaking to the porter the defendant came up. I told him what I had done and the amount of my claim, but he said, " I will not pay you ;" but as I was going away he said, " I'll give you a shilling, and if you don't take it you shall have nothing." I then applied for a suitamons, but the defendant did not attend. Mr. Burroughes—l did not receive the summons, hav ing been in the country. Last night on going home I was taken on the warrant. Davey, one of the summoning officers—The first sum mons was left at Nelson's Hotel, the address given, and the second at the defendant's club. He told me that he had received one summons while in tho country. Mr. Bun oughes—l did engage the complainant to drive me to my doctor at 61, Grosvenor-street, and then requested him to go the Great Western Railway to get my hat and cane back. I waited upwards of an hour, and then left. I left word where I had gone, and two or three hours elapsed before I saw any more of him. He said he had been to the railway office, but I don't know whether he did go. I don't charge him with not going. (The complainant showed a paper which proved he had been to the railway, and the hat was not there.) Mr. Knox—You do not make a charge, but you have mad w e an insinuation—do not do it. Mr. Burroughes—l received one summons while in the country. I waited so long for the complainant I could wait no longer. What could Ido ? Mr. Knox—l am sorry you -have been locked up, but you have brought all upon yourself. You ask mo what you could do. You might have left the money with your friend for the complainant, and that would have saved you all the trouble you have been put to. Ido not think, con sidering where the complainant went, ho spent an un reasonable time, and he also brought back with him a paper, showing ho had been to the railway. The corn plainant is a man earning his living, and a hard living it is too, by driving a cab about the streets of London, and he appears to have done all he could, and I do not think his claim is excessive. There have been two summonses and a warrant which he has had to pay for, and he has had to attend here three times. You must pay the Cs. claimed, and 13s. 6d. costs. The defendant at once paid the amount. MARKETS--This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was about an average supply of beasts on offer here to-day, and most kinds moved off slowly at Monday's currency. The extreme figure for the best Scots was 5s 4d per 81b. We were fairly supplied with sheep. On the whole the mutton trade was inactive, at barely late rates. The best Downs, in the wool, sold at 6s 6d ; out of the wool, 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81b. Lambs were inactive, at from 6s 8d to 7s per 81b. Calves wore in short supply and fair request at full quotations—viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 8d per 81b The pork trade was steady. In milch cows very little was doing. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.. NOTTINGHAM SPRING MEETING-WEDNESDAY. There was an observable decrease in the attendance st the commencement, but the "jumping" events drew an immense assemblage later in the day. The racing, which began at half-past 1. o'clock, waxod warm as the day ad vanced. The Forest Plate Handicap, for which only three ran out of the 28 upon the card, opened the proceedings, Wild Duck, the favourite, winning easily- All the five entries ran for the All Aged Sellings, which. was won by the favourite, Tragedy, whose sale after the race realised £55 to the race fund. Twelve ran for the Two-Year-Old Stakes, which made the third race won by the favourite, when Chapel Royal, left at the post at Lincoln, secured the victory. The two next contests ended favourably to the bookmakers, and after a magnificent struggle for the Hurdle Race, it was won by West End, W. White having apparently a lien upon this event, ho having wo.i it six or seven times. The sports closed with the Hunt Cup, which had six runners, and, as usual with these races, objections followed the judge's decision, Oscar the winner being pro tested against on the ground of his rider being a profes sional, and the second for "wrong nomiPation." During the afternoon Emblematic, Arbury, and Joe Maley were in force for the Liverpool Steeplechase, the quotations for which, and a full return of the racing, will bo found below.

Half an hour's delay again occurred at the post, but Mr. Marshall's patience was rewarded by a good start, with the exception of Kinghorn, who was left at the post. Variety held a slight lead of Novice, the Yoick's dam colt, Chapel Royal, and Foreign Stamp till within two distances from home, when Chapel Royal took up the running and won by a length, and a neck separated the second and third.

THE FATHER AND SON.—Henry Schlenck, or Slunk, an intelligent-looking boy, about 11 years of age, was brought before Mr.yaget, charged with robbing his father of a sove reign. The prosecutor is a foreigner, with the same name as his son, and carries on the business of a piece -broker, or dealer in remnants of cloth, at 3, Spectacle-alley, one of the old London middle-rows, near Whitechapel parish church. Mr. Paget asked the prosecutor if ho intended to prosecute his own son, 11 years of age ? The prosecutor said he did. Mr. Paget—Your own child, 11 years old ? The prosecutor—l don't know what to do with him. Mr. Paget—So you intend to prosecute this child of yours —to send him to prison? _ The prosecutor—Yes, I will ; I will; ho is a very bad boy. Mr. Paget—lf you prosecute him, and give evidence against him, and prove that he has stolen a sovereign, I shall commit him for trial, and send him to prison, and he will be associated with thieves, and will become a regular thief himself. The prosecutor—Yes, ho is a thief ; he must be punished. Mr. Paget—Go on ; give your evidence. The prosecutor, in broken English, said he did send his boy to school, but ho would not go, and spent ls. 6d. he gate him to pay the schoolmaster, who came to him, and asked him why he did not come to school. He asked the boy what he did with the money, and why he did not go to school, but he made no answer. His mother beat hfm, and he became worse. His mother beat him at other times, and he took a pair of scissors and broke off the point of them, and opened tho drawers where the money was de posited. He took away 75., and went away for eight days. When he returned he wanted to give him in charge to the police, and his mother would not let him do so. He promised to be a good boy and was not. He was a very bad boy, indeed. He gave him a sovereign and told him to go next door to the butcher and get change for it. Tho boy ran away with the sovereign and spent it. Mr. Paget—Anything else. Witness—He goes away ; ho spends mine money ; he ought to be punished and sent to prison. Mr..raget—You say you gave him a sovereign to go to the butcher and get silver for it. Why entrust him with 20s. after he had robbed you of 7s. before ? Witness—l could not go out. I was there to look after the shop. Mr. Paget—Why not send your wife? Witness—She was upstairs. Mr. Paget—And you could not walk into the next shop to obtain 20s. worth of silver ? Witness—No, no. I could not go there. I send him, send him. I was a fool—von great fool. Mr. Paget—You trusted a boy with a sovereign who had robbed you before. Witness—Yes, yes. I did indeed. Mr. Paget—ls that all you have to say ? Witness—Yes, yes. Mr. Paget—Discharge the boy. THE ROBBERY IN CORNHIL. Yesterday two more of the gold watches stolen from the shop of Mr. Walker were fished up from the bottom of the Thames, at the place near Blackfriars temporary bridge, where a diver has been at work daily since Saturday, These make eight now which have been recovered from the bed of the river in that way, and the search, which has been thus far attended with so much success, will of course be continued from day to day. After six of the watches had been brought up by the diver a long interval followed without any further success, and the police officers who superintend the oparation began to despair of finding any more, from a belief that the confederates who had thrown them into the river might . have just had an even half-dozen assigned them as their share of the spoil. Could a seventh, or any other odd number, they argued, be found their hopes of recovering more would ha reanimated, and the search was discontinued on Tuesday evening with that feel ing. Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning the diver' exertions were further rewarded by the recovery of two more, and the work is now consequently prosecuted with fresh zest. T hero is said to be about 8 feet of water at low tido at the spot where the search is being made, and the plabe is guarded night and day by river policemen to prevent unauthorised persons sounding the river on their own account in the hope of obtaining some of the missing property.

Two MILES WALKING HANDICAP. —This event, which was for a couple of silver cups, given to be contended for by mine host of the Duke's Head, Drury-lane, took place yesterday on Mr. J. Roberts's Ground, the meeting being well attended. The competitors had to make eight laps of the ground to complete the distance, and when the custo mary arrangements had been made the pedestrians came to the mark. There were in all the large number of 13 starters, who took up their respective positions according to the terms on which they had been handicapped. With out, however, going into particulars of the walking, we shall merely state that when one mile and a half had been fairly walked Barnard, who went from scratch, Bennett, who had been handicapped with a start of 20 yards, and Bishop, who had been " let in" with a start of 350 yards, were found to be the three leading men in whom the in terest of the match for the remainder of the distance was centred. Between the trio a fine struggle ensued to the termination of the match, finishing in Barnard going in a winner by 10 yards, Bennett being second, and Bishop by no means a bad third.

THE DRAMATIC, MUSICAL, AND SICK FUND AS SOCIATION.—The ninth anniversary festival of this association was held last evening at 'Willis's Rooms, Mr. Maguire, M.P., in the chair. A company of about 70 ladies and 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner shortly after 7 o'clock, and among those present were Messrs. J. A. Blake, M.P., B. Webster, Paul Bedford, Toole, Billington, Tom Taylor, Leycester Buckingham, Bell, Swanborough, Howard Paul, H. Neville, 13. Webster, jun., W. Webster, West, Digges, Mrs. Stirling, Mrs. Howard Paul, Mrs. Swanborough, Mrs. A. Swanborough, Mrs. Billington, Miss H. Sims, Miss Milly Palmer, &c. The Chairman, in pro posing the prosperity of the association, adverted to the claims which the institution had upon the sympathy of all well-wishers to the theatrical profession, inasmuch as its benefits were not confined to those who had enrolled themselves as members, but were extended to all actors and actresses who were shown to be fitting objects of its charity. It did not limit its efforts to the relief of poverty and want, but provided situations for those out of employment, and supplied others with funds to enable them to reach places where situations could be found. A weekly subscription of 3d. secured to the contributor in case of sickness, a weekly allowance of 10s. for three months, with half that amount for a similar period in case of the continuance of the ill ness. A wekly contribution of 9d. increased the amount to £1 per week. During the past year the association had defrayed the funeral expenses of six members, and had assisted in giving a decent burial to ten non members. The association had also relieved 537'days of sickness, granted 60 loans for the purpose of enabling persons to accept situa tions offered them, and relieved in all 31 cases of distress. Mrs. Stirling, in returning thanks for the toast of " The ladies," advocated the claims of the institution in a speech which was enthusiastically received, and Mr. Tom Taylor, Mr. Leycester Buckingham, Mr. Webster, the president of the association, and other gentlemen also dwelt upon the benefits which it conferred upon the profession. In the course of the evening selections were given by Mrs. Howard Paul, Misses Poole, Rebecca Isaacs, Ransford, E. Mascall, Estelle Bodenham, Kate Searle, Lucy Leffler ; Messrs. W, Harrison, W. H. Eburne, Paul Bedford, 11. Beckett, W. C. Levey, Howard Paul, and Theodore Distin. A handsome subscription list was filled up is the room. At the conclu sion of the dinner a drawing-room quadrille party was held. THE LONDON " BOARDMEN" AND THEIR GRIEV ANCES.—The Earl of Shaftesbury presided last night at a meeting of the London advertisement boardmen, held at the Working Men's Institution, Parker-street, Drury-lane. Several of the men having stated their grievances and the hardships which they have had to endure since the suspen sion of the usual means of earning their livelihood, the chairman'expressed his sympathy with them, and promised to give them all the assistance in his power. He was not aware that any Act of Parliament was in existence which rendered their carrying advertisement boards illegal, and he would certainly oppose the passing of such an act should it be introduced into Parliament ; but he thought the police must be acting under some regulation which empowered them to interfere. A WEALTHY BANKRUPT.—A lady was recently committed to Bristol Gaol, arrested for a debt of £5O, when the governor informed her that in a month he would have to return her as a defaulter, when she would be ad judged a bankrupt, and her property, if any, divided amongst the creditors. She intimated she had no property and therefore must abide the result. On being afterwards searched, according to the rules of the prison, .£BOO was found secreted in her dress. The biddings for 30,00,0000 rs. (£300,000) in bill on India took place yesterday at the Bank of Eng land, and the following are the official particulars : —The proportions allotted were—To Calcutta, 17,26,000 rs. ; to Bombay, 12,00,000 rs. ; and to Madras, 74,000 rB. The minimum price was as before—ls. 111 d. on Calcutta and. Medras and ls. 114 d. on Bombay. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at is. 1111 will receive about 17 per cent., and on Bombay at Is. Hid. about 41 per cent. above these prices in full. Sunbeam, and Banting, and Patsy also ran. Betting—Even on Oscar, who made nearly all the run ning, and won by half a length ; a similar distance between second and third. The winner was objected to on the ground of his rider being a professional, and the second was objected to as having been wrongly described. The objection against the Abbott, the winner of tho Macaroni Stakes, has been withdrawn.

Mr. SALT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps t p he intended to take in order to bring the new regula tions with respect to the purchase of Government annuities and of payments at death prominently before the notice of those persons for whose benefit the regulations had been framed, &c. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government was anxious to afford any information to those interested in this subject. The tables and regulations had been drawn up in great detail, but they could be ea sily procured and at a small expense. ARMSTRONG GUNS. Mr. LAIRD asked whether her Majesty's Government were aware that Armstrong guns were being manufac tured by the Elswick Ordnance Company for foreign go vernments; and, if so, whether p erm i ss i on to do so had been . granted to that firm by th e S ecretary of State for War The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it had been de cided, after enquiry, that the Government had no power to prohibit the manufacture of these guns for foreign coun tries, but they were not hi possession of official information of their being sent to foreign countries. THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN. Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he had any objection to lay upon the table copies of any re ports made by Captain Sherard Osborn, R.N., on the vari ous trials of the Royal Sovereign during the time she was in commission ? Lord C. PAGET said he had no desire to withhold any information on this subject, and during the discussion on the navy estimates he would be happy to supply any such information as hon. members might require. However, he strongly objected to the system of laying the reports of officers employed by Government on the table. THE GALATEA In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, Lord C. PAGET said that yesterday the Admiralty had re ceived a telegram stating the loss of her Maj e sty's ship Gala tea, but it appeared from subsequent information that, although there had been considerable loss of life, the vessel was not lost. The loss of life arose from some of the crew of the vessel having been sent to rescue the persons who were in danger under the circumstances with which the house was already familiar. ARMING OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS. On the motion for going into committee of supply on the Navy Estimates, Mr. M. BAILLIE moved that a select committee be aPPointed to inquire whether her Majesty's ships were at present armed in a manner suited to the necessities and requirements of modern warfare. The hon. member having drawn attention to the importance of this subject, said that from experiments which had been made, it was evident that the present arming of the ships of the royal navy was not in an efficient state. In fact, her Majesty's ships were not in a position even to contend with other countries on equal terms, far less to do so with advantage. Inquiry had been restricted to tho relative merits of the Arm strong and Whitworth guns, and therefore it was not a matter of surprise that they had been excelled by other countries whose range of energy was not so limited, and who were disposed to avail themselves of every discovery of science in regard to the arming of the navy. dr he Royal Sovereign was only an experimental ship, and was a failure. Having referred to different calibres of the gun s w hi c h had been ap proved by the Admiralty, he contended that there had been a great failure in that department of the executive in reference to that subject. He called attention to the result of these experiments in ordnance, which had been sanctioned by the Admiralty, and said that the blame did not attach to Sir Sir W. Armstrong, who was com pelled to supply his guns to Government order without having been able to subject . them to an efficient test dltevweaslopfeodrtinunacteontacthatt withour fhathillaeutrtejearopn:antsehesiesthinpeositnetadhoafd some result might ahgranevlaaetributeaiemvnaelmpoPoowswteerrd:isa%wrohusieto our prestige and interests as I LEFT SPEAKING. I CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day THE SAFFRON-HILL MURDER. (Before Mr. Justice Bylss.) This morning Gregorio Mogni, an Italian, was placed in the dock charged with the manslaughter of Michael Har rington. The extraordinary circumstances under which the trial came on, one man (Pelizeioni) having been convicted of murdering the deceased, being now in Newgate under sen tence of death, excited great interest. The• prisoner was asked through an interpreter whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty to the charge. He answered in Italian, " For my misfortunate, I am guilty for what I have done in my own self-defence." Mr. Justice Byles—That is a plea of " Not Guilty." On being asked whether he chose a jury of Englishmen or a mixed jury of Englishmen and foreigners, he decided in favour of a mixed jury. The prisonerlbeing undefended, Mr. Justice Byles sa id that being a foreigner it was his duty to assign him a counsel, and he would therefore ask Mr. MontaguWilliams to watch the case on behalf of the prisoner. Sergeant Ballantine having opened the case for the pro secution, Emma Shaw, the wife of the landlord of the public house in which the fracas took place, and Giovanni Mogni, a brother of the prisoner, were then examined. Sergeant Ballantine said he should now call Pelizzioni, who was under sentence of death. Seraphino Pelizzioni (or Pollioni), examined by Ser geant Ballantine, said—l am under sentence of death in New • gate. I have been in this country 10. or 11 years. I was at the Anchor publichouse on the 26th of December. I was not there when the row began. I was at the publichouse of Mr. Bordessa when I heard there was a row down at the Anchor between the Italians and the English, and that my two cousins were there. I went down to take them away, and directly I went in I heard a woman scream. It was the landlady. When she saw me she said, "Oh, Saraphino, don't let them make a row." I said if you will try to keep the Eng lish one side, I will keep the Italians on the other. I left her at the bar, and opened the bagatelle room part of the way to get in, when I received a blow on my head, which knocked me down. Half my body was inside, and half of it was outside. Some one dragged me out and the door was shut. When the police came one gave me in charge. A woman said, "I give you in charge, because you knocked me down with your fist." I saw a man lying across the room, but I don't know who it was. I had no knife in my possession at that time. A small white-handled knife was taken from me at the police-station. It was not this knife (the knife with which the surgeon said the wound might have been produced, and which belonged to Gregorio. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams—l do not know that at the station I was charged with stabbing Rebbeck. There was blood on my hands, but it came from the wound on my head. I don't think I said, " I only protected myself." I don't know what those words mean. Mr. Henry Negretti, optician, of Hatton-garden, detailed the circumstances of his visit to Birmingham, where ho found Gregorio. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Montagu Williams then addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner. Mr. Justice Byles having summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to five years' penal servitude.
