UONEYMARKET AND COMMERCIAL ir TELL IGE N 08, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market to-day is very firm, and the outside quotations are merely a fraction below the newly -arranged minimum of the Bank of England. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of £13,000. The Bank of England return, completed to the 7th inst., shows some very favourable changes. The bullion has been increased by £168,010, while there is an augmentation in the reserve of notes of £423,485, and the other securities have been diminished by £748,467.

Dated 7th November, 1866." The suspension of Messrs. James Russell and Sons, of Wednesbury, has been announced. One of the partners it is stated is a considerable share holder and director of the New Zealand Bank, which has sustained considerable losses, and the suspension is with a view to protect the general body of the creditors. The liabilities are said to amount to £40,000, and the assets to nearly £ 5 0,000, and there is every reason to believe that all the creditors will be paid in full. Sergeant Moss, of the City detective police, yes terday evening apprehended on a warrant James Freeling Wilkinson, late manager of the Joint- Stock Discount Company, charged with embezzle ment of two sums of £4,000 and £B6O. The Chief Clerk of the Master of the Rolls has assented to the application for an order expunging from the list of contributors to Barned's Banking Company certain persons who complained of frau dulent representations. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have not shown much anima tion. The public sales of tea have prOceeded rather slowly, and prices in some instances are a shade lower. Sugar has been in moderate request, at steady rates. Large quotations of coffee have been brought forward, and inferior descriptions have been sold at slightly reduced prices. In tallow the t de alings have bee n m oderately active, and quota tions have remained steady. A list arranged in tabular form of all the London and provincial newspapers, inclusive of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British Isles, has just been itsrsoupeocil i t abn by Messrs. Vickers and Harrington, of r' ' A m - pees-cou r t Cornhill. Therein appear the me journals classified in alphabetical order, showing dates o f publication, their political views denoted by initial letter, with year of establishment and price. Under the heading of the several coun ties (also alphab e ti ca lly arranged) are the names of the v arious papers published in each, their political tendencies, year of creation, day of publication, and The population of each county according to the latest returns is affixed. It appears that the case on behalf of the Defence -As sociation, in re 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., who are endeavouri ng t o rem ove the names of certain sha reholders from the list of contributories, has been a gain postp one d t o -d ay , an d it i s no t likely to be brought on for hearing until the 15th inst. The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway for the week en di ng th e 16th S e pt em b er amoun t e d to £ 3 7,419 lls. 4d. ; and in the corresponding period of the previous year they were £28,346 ea . 7 d., showing an increase of £9,073 ss. 9d. A. meeting 'of shareholders in the London and i Medit erranean Bank was convened to-day ; only two or three proprietors attended, and the affair w rs a complete fiasco. The object was to appoint .. an °facial liquidator. But the matter is before the fas ter of the Rolls, and no doubt accountants and li quidators will, according to present fashion, derive thel Principal benefit of a defunct concern. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-day the French Rentes were 69f. Lord Mayor's day seems to have added to the dulness that has recently prevailed in the Stock Ex change; the absence of commissions, and the limited attendance of speculative dealers and of investors, h aving afforded a considerable number of clerks, as Well as principals, the opportunity of seeing a genuine London crowd. Nevertheless, a good and Steady business has been transacted in the British Funds, because the public, after the Severe losses sustained during the late crisis, look ing to Government securities instead of limited lia bOity schemes, especially as confidence is reposed in th e present Ministry, both as regards foreign poli tics and finance at home. While almost every other security has manifested weakness, Consols have risen per cent., namely, to 89k for transfer, and (ex dividend) to 881 for the 6th proximo. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced An nuities each remain firm at 871 ; and a dealing has be en effected in the 30 years Annuities, due 1855, at 12i ; Bank Stock is steady at 246-7 ; Indian St ock, at 211 ; the 5 per cent. Indian Loan at 1061. Operations have also been reported in Indian 5 per c ent. Enfaced paper at 1001 41, and in the Bonds, at 20 prem. Only a small amount of business has been trans acted in foreign Government bonds, but Turkish ez, Spanish Passives, Spanish Certificates, and Italian are in request and at higher prices. Mexican stock is steady, at 161 4 ; Greek Bonds at 131 141 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. are at 31i e ; Spanish Passive 24.4 at ; the Certific a t es a t 131 14 ; an d th e Italian Loan of 1861 at 54/ 55.

CONVICTION OF A TRADESMAN FOR ARSON.—At the criminal assizes in Jersey, on Monday, Elisha Ogler, formerly in business as a draper, was convicted on a charge of setting fire to his premises and wilfully destroying the same, with intent to defraud the Provincial Assurance Company. A fire broke out on the prisoner's premises between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning of June 19, at which time prisoner and his wife were seen on the top of the house (which had a flat roof) cautiously looking over into the street. On the alarm being given they came down in a few minutes all dressed, the prisoner carrying some books and papers in his hand. The promises were totally destroyed, as were also the throe adjoining shops and houses, one of which—that of Mr. Walker, chemist—with all its contents. The total loss of property was estimated at .£12,000. The prisoner made a claim upon the Provincial office f0r.£4,100, which was resisted and a prosecution commenced. The trial lasted four days and ended in a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment.

To-day the annual civic procession went from Guildhall to Westminster-hall, where Alderman Gabriel, recently chosen Lord Mayor by the citizens of London for the en suing year, was presented to the Barons of the Exchequer with all the usual pomp and circumstance. The weather fortunately was propitious for the display, and thus the great number of persons who lined the route through which the cortege passed had the gratification of again witnessing " the Lord Mayor's Show" in all its glory. It did not, however, come up to the standard of the old sightseer ; they sighed at the absence of the ancient plumed knights, armed cap h-pie, and his attendant squire, bearing his proud pennon, and although additional strength was thrown into the pro cession by the increase of the military bands, yet the loss of the men clad in steel and brass was a sad disappointment to many, who, not being engaged in trade in the City of London, could not understand why it was the "Show" was curtailed of its fair proportions. Guildhall was, of course, the principal point of rendezvous for hundreds of persons bent on gratifying themselves with a sight of the new Lord Mayor, and, although many arrived there at an early hour, little incidents were continually occurring that whiled away the time previous to the starting of the procession. At one time one of the splendid footmen, in his brilliant new livery, with unexceptionable limbs, and enormous bouquet, would come in for his share of good-humoured, but personal, observations, and then an energetic strong minded lady would create a degree of merriment by her desire to get a front place to see the show without obstruc tion. At about half-past 11 unmistakeable signs of preparations for a move were observable, and the City Marshal, in brilliant uniform, mounted on his charger, was to be seen giving directions with respect to the for mation of the procession. Then a number of men, habited in peculiar costumes, busied themselves in unfurling their time-honoured banners, which, in a variety of instances, seemed to have become a little too weighty for many of the veterans who have for a number of years carried them in triumph from east to west. The City watermen, in their scarlet liveries, seemed to bear their honours with becom ing dignity, and to be well protected against a passing shower should such take place ; but those in lighter gar ments, in which cotton was the predominating fabric, seemed not so well provided. Many of them, however, had taken the wise precaution to slip their official cos tume over their ordinary dress, and thus, although it did not add to the effect of their appearance, they looked with an indifferent eye upon the cloud that now and then for a few minutes obscured the bright but watery-looking November sun which shown on the ancient banqueting-hall of the City of London. The usual formalities having been completed, it was intimated that it was the will and plea sure of the Lord Mayor to proceed to Westminster, and then the City Marshal galloped forward to his appointed place, and the procession moved fronrGuildhall-yard in the following order :-- Drums and Fifes of the Royal London Militia.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic party having taken up a standing position in front of the bench reserved for Queen's counsel, Tho RECORDER, in addressing the Court, said ho had the honour to introduce to their lordships the Right Hon. Thomas Gabriel, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The gracious approval of her Majesty had ratified the choice of the citizens. In making their election the citizens had not been un mindful of the important nature of the duties devolving upon the chief magistrate of their ancient city, or of the qualities which were requisite for their right discharge. From early life Mr. Gabriel had been engaged in commercial pursuits, and during the many years he had been so occu pied he had maintained the high character which they fondly believed belonged, with very rare exceptions, to British merchants as a body. For many years he had taken part in the municipal affairs of the city, filling many posi tions of public trust. He had also acted as a magistrate in his capacity of alderman, and on all occasions had exer cised his functions with perfect honour and independence, and had proved himself an intelligent and useful man. The new Lord Mayor was descended from a family_which about a hundred years ago came from Cornwall, and settled in London. His grandfather founded the business, of which, under the firm of Thomas Gabriel and Sons, the Lord Mayor had for several years been the second partner, and which had long been one of the leading establishments in the foreign timber trade. Having obtained a position in mercantile cirelea, he was elected alderman of the ward of Ventry, on the retirement of Sir William Magnay, and had also filled the office of Sheriff with ability and hospitality. Ho (the Recorder) bad no doubt that the Lord Mayor Wohld fulfil all the eapectationo Which his fellow-citizens had formed of hitt. tie had also to introduce to his lord ship Alderman Phillips, who had just retired from his year of office with the highest distinction, The LORD CHIRP BARON congratulated the new Lord soug ht after b y every c i t i zen. li e co uld Mayor on having attaine d th e poWer Which was so highly primed and eagerly not think that the present ceremony was a mere idle form, because the Lord Mayor appeared there before the Court to claim those ancient rights and privileges which were so highly valued by the citizens of London, and which had belonged to the City from timo immemorial, He felt highly gratified at the account that had been given by the learned Recorder of the career of the Lord Mayor, and he had no doubt but that during his lordship's year of office he would exert himself to perform his duties to the utmost, and that at its termination he would con tinue to deserve the good opinions of his felliw-citizens. which h o h a d f u lfill e d his He had also the pleasurable duty of congratulating the late into comparative privacy n th him the kind es t w ishes ht Lord eer mfot A f l e tt e y or ffitoaricnoe , n 1 iaent would a a r n ce a n t ur e rr i y • n Invig and the highest esteem of those whose rights and privi leges ho h a d so well guarded and preserved during his term of office. Alderman Phillips bowea his aeltnOWledgutentS. The Lord Mayor was then sworn. The late Lord Attroi. was also sworn to render unto her Majesty a hill account of the receipts on account of the CroWn during hiB mayoralty ; and; according to the 'quaint bid terhis of l.he \ b V e -h e i n lst g h o e ne did th s rOugh, the Recorder aetTcloih,retdoeortbhe invitedehra fk-oerinhi t a : li6 e teie j lis ud li g hr e al s vl6inr lthe banquet at the Guild hall this evening, when the Lord Chief Baron said some of the judges would attend. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the officers of the City then withdrew, and, passing through the other courts, the Lord Mayor, through the Recorder, invited the judges presiding to banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order as in its coming, A mairiage is arranged, and will shortly take place, between 4r, Cecil W. Forester, only son of the llon. and Rev. Orlando Forester, and hiss Georgina Dixie, youngest daughter of the late Sir W. Wolstan Dixie4lJart., of Doti worth Park, Leicestershire. G RESHAK LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY The ordinary, annual meeting of the Gresham Life As surance Society was held yesterday at the head office, 37, Old Jewry, Cheapside. W. Tabor, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said the directors were there for their 18th year, to render an ac count of the business of the past year, and he would there fore call upon their secretary to read the annual report. Mr. CURTIS (the actuary and secretary) then read the report which was as follows: The s directors have to report the progress of the society during the 12 months ending on the 31st July, 1866. 5,020 proposals were submitted during the year, for the assurance of .e 1,819,428 15s. 2d. Of these the directors selected for acceptance 4,550, and policies for the amount of £1,656,133 15s. 7d. were issued. The new premiums received within the year amounted ;o £l-4,445 12s. Od. T hell:iconic of the society was increased to .£257,479 15.10 d., of which amount £231,211 45. was derived from premiums, and X 26,238 Os. 10d. from interest on investments. The sum of £70,628 33.11 d. was paid during the pear for assurance and endowment claims; after satisfaction cf which, and of all other charges, a surplus of £117,688 ss. 6d. has been added to the invested funds. The directors retiringon the present occasion are Edward Say, F.R.S., William Henry Thornthwaite, and Jas. Lyne Hancock, Esqs., who, being eligible, are recommended by the board for re-election. The auditors, G. H. Ladbury, William Webb Venn, and William Whitelock, Esqs., retire, and again offer them selves for re-election. The directors consider that it will be desirable in future to close the accounts on the 30th June of each year instead of tlie' 31st July as heretofore, and also to value the assets and liabilities and distribute surplus fund at intervals of three instead of five years. They propose that the first of the triennial investigations shall take place in 1867 ; and resolutions necessary for these objects will be submitted to the shareholders at a special meeting. The CHAIRMAN said the duty now devolved upon him to move that the report and balance-sheet which had been presented to the meeting be accepted and adopted. He need hardly, he thought, do more than simply move the formal resolution, because all had gone on prosperously during the last year. (Hear, hear.) Their business had increased, and they had added, according to the re port, £117,000 to the reserve fund, but he thought that if the £15,000 which had been paid as bonus, and which was quite of an exceptional nature, were added, it would make that addition nearer £140,000. (Hear, hear.) They had also increased their rate of interest rather more than last year, 'the average now being 44 per cent. on the funds invested; and when they came to compare the re sult of their yearly labours with that of other offices, he, thought they would be of the same opinion as the direc tors, namely, that they had done extremely well during the past year. (Hear, hear.) With these few'observations he would conclude by formally moving the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. SMEE said he had very great pleasure in seconding the resolution for the reception TA the report, because by it it would be seen that the society was carrying on its opera tions in a manner in which they all desired. In the first place, it showed its stability by the amount of its invested assets, which at the end of the year amounted to no less a sum than £900,000, but which at the present time amounted to nearer £1,000,000. (Cheers.) A company with such a ;fund had indeed a substantial basis for the carrying out all its engagements. Next, they had an annual income of no less than £257,479, which was of itself a guar antee for the prosperity of the society. The amount assured in the society was no less than £7,000,000, and the average of each policy was £4OO. (Hear, hear.) If they were curious in such matters they would find on examination that the society had grown progressively and satisfactorily. (Hear, hear.) In the first six years the number of policies accepted was 500 ; in the second six years it was 1,300 ; in the third six years it was 3,430 ; and in the fourth six years, that was the present time, their annual issue of policies was 4,550. (Hear, hear.) In order to strengthen the foundation, and to enlarge and increase their business, it was absolutely necessary that there I should be an infusion of new blood, and that this had been done the amount of new policies amply testified. (Hear, hear.) There was another matter that was highly satisfactory, and that was, that their claims for the past year had only amounted to £70,000, which was less by £lO,OOO than the previous year, and much less than they had a . right to expect, considering the manner in which cholera had been raging. (Hear, hear.) All their lives were European lives—(hear, hear) — they were in England, a few in Scotland, and still fewer in Ireland, and none, he confidently asserted, had a better chance of longevity. (Hear, hear.) When he looked at the amount of business that had been com pleted during the past year, it would be idle to suppose that a board of directors had done or could do it, and if he were to make such an assertion he saw those around him who could at once contradict the assertion. (Hear, hear.) They must look to their staff of agents and the manner in which they worked for the prosperity of their society, and that they had worked most successfully during the past year the report.then before them amply testified. If the agents had not had a thorough sound business to recom mend they could not have accomplished so much—(cheers) —but they had a business that was sound and good in every particular, and thus the results that gave them so much pleasure had been attained. (Hear, hear.) As a specimen of the value of their policies, he might mention the fact, that to a policy of 17 years for £l,OOO they had added to it no less a sum than £2OO ; to another of 12 years for £l,OOO they had added £l3l 55.; and to another of seven years for a like amount, £53 17s. had been added. That showed how they met their engagements. (Cheers.) The greatest success had attended their society since its foundation, and he was sure he only reiterated the desire of all pre sent when he wished that that prosperity would for years continue unabated and undiminished. He had the greatest pleasure in seconding the resolution moved by the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution for the reception of the report, when it was carried unanimously. The retiring directors, Edward Solly, F.R.S., William Henry Thornthwaite, and James Lyne Hancock, Esqs, were re-elected, as also were the retiring auditors, G. H. Ladbury, William Webb Venn, and William Whitelock, Esqs. The CHAIRMAN said that concluded the business of the day, and ho had to thank those gentlemen who had hon oured them with their attendance. Mr. WALFORD said before they separated he thought it but due that thanks should be voted to the chairman and directors. This being the first time he had attended their meetings, ho felt a diffidence in moving such a resolution ; but he could not allow the meeting to break up without awarding thanks to those who had worked so assiduously for them. (Hear, hear.) He had much to do in the various capitals of Europe, and in most of them he had to inform the meeting their society was looked upon as a little Bank of England, and that being the case he had determined to take up some shares in it. He had got some, but ho intended to increase his stake in the com pany, and thus show his appreciation of it. There was plenty of business abroad for a good institution, and the Gresham he considered a first-class and enduring one. (Hear, hear.) He was in the way of introducing a business that would produce £200,000 per annum, and he should do all he possibly could to secure it. Mr. Smee was also shaping his course in the same direction, and ho felt almost certain that success would attend their efforts. His great desire was that the society should become larger, and in order that it might do so he would give it all the assistance in his power. (Hear, hear.) Mr. 0. TYLER seconded the motion with the greatest pleasure. Mr. WALFORD then put the resolution to the meeting, when it was carried unanimously. __ The CHAIRMAN, on the part of his colleagues, acknow ledged the compliment. The greatest amount of their suc cess, however, belonged to their efficient staff and agents, and to thorn the thanks were due, and it was through them that the great bulk of the business must come. _ _ _ A yoteof thanks was then unanimously awarded to Mr. Curtis (the secretary), the staff, and the agents. _ _ Mr. CURTIS returned thanks. He said the staff worked with a will and the greatest unanimity ; and as for the agents, nothing he could say could equal their deserts. They were gentlemen holding high positions in the social scale, and the great amount of business secured could not have been accomplished without the greatest earnestness. On the part, therefore, of those gentlemen, he begged to thank the meeting for the recognition of their services. The proceedings then terminated. BANK OP ENGLAND.

Beeswing Moulsey Sandal NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY). LIVERPOOL. There was a larger concourse of spectators than ever to witness the early gallops on the Aintree this morning. The Special (who had arrived on the previous day in a van) gathered the most gape-seed; and, as Mail Train had been scratched, his opponents felt quite comfortable, the Woodyeates money being " on" to some tune for the Autumn Cup journey. The colt, with Sam Adams up, cantered twice, and then galloped the whole length of the course, acquitting himself so well that William Day and his followers were in perfect ecstacies. The Special has improved in appearance since he succumbed to Rama on the long course at Goodwoo d, and his speed is first class. Wadlow had three cup horses at work, Walter White exercising Moulsey, Jemmy Grimshaw on Sandal, and Sportsman being in the charge of H. Clarke. Each galloped separately, however, and went a mile and a half at a good steady pace, Sandal in particular moving very free. Jemmy Snowden took Lozenge the Cup length at a fair pace ; and Sundeelah accompanied, or rather led, Red Earl the same distance steadily. H. Covey was on the latter, and the horse went beautifully. Perhaps the most " taking" galloper of the whole lot of Cup candidates out was Act/ea, for she skimmed over the distance as graceful and as swift as a bird, her action being superb, and her pace great. Nu went uncommonly well also, but showed a bit of temper. So did Chepstow at first, but after cantering about for awhile, he was sent a nice gallop, and settled down to his work calmly and resolutely, going the circuit of the Aintree most satisfactorily, which gave renewed strength and confidence to his supporters, espe cially as the pen had been put through Caithness's nomi nation, which was a great relief to those who had been so lung kept in suspense as to which was the intended of the Graham couplet. Friday and Miss Harriette again galloped a mile and a half together, and the colt pleased Joseph Dawson the most. Salpinctes went brilliantly ; in fact, he was going quite in his old form, and George Fordham seemed to be quite satisfied, with his mount. Treasure Trove followed Skylark once round the course, and is quite ripe. Brick, too, looked very fit, but he did not gallop more than a mile and a quarter. East Lynne moved very free, yet appeared to tire at the end of his mile and a-half galloping, as did Lady Vane, who struck us as being lather too big. Dubiety was out, but we did not pay much attention to her, as her mean looks and style of going are not very attractive. The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester day (yelling : MALTON. Westwick gallopecl a couple of miles at a clipping pace this morning, and we understand that he is to fulfil his Salopian engagements of the ensuing week. Taraban and Knight of the Grove are in mile work, but Grand Cross was only cantering about to-day. Knight of St. Michael, Verdi, Queen of Nuts, Amazon, Rondinella, The Rejected, My Lord, The Lion, Ploughboy, Skysail, Queen Ellis, Little Traasure, Urania, and some 60 or 70 yearlings, aro severally doing a fair amount of work daily. LAMBOURNE. Marco Spada was tried with Pluto on Wednesday, and he acquitted himself so satisfactorily that he is to be sent to Shrewsbury. This morning he followed Flora and Pluto for two miles, steadily, and is very fit. Our Derby horses were in nice exercise, Marksman, Stockmar, Sum mertime, Beanstalk, Stockstill, and Sornerled especially, looking and going well. FYFIELD. The only animals that were at work this morning were Bugler, Captain Kidd, Pepper's Ghost, and Staghound, the latter having resumed on Tuesday, after a very long ab sence. Adam Bede, Arcace, Bradamante, Countess Amy, Du:cimer, Gentle Kitty filly, the 3-yr-old Mayonaise filly, and Savernake have not been out this week. RICHMOND. Strathconan continues to take Rose and Plaudit two or three canters, and then a steady mile gallop, daily. The Derby horse is improving fast, filling out beautifully. Lord Zetland's horses are in mile work, with the ex ception of the yearlings that are being schooled by El Cid. Raunds is also leading some yearlings, and Newland a lot of moderate two year olds. Dagmar is doing very little. Zunobia, has been turned up, and is under orders to go back to her owner's private stables in France. We suppose we shall hear of her again next spring. NEWMARKET. Mat Dawson's Derby horses were resting this morning, but he had several of the Blue Riband candidates at exer cise, including Dragon, Tho Rake, The Hermit, and D'Estournel. The Frenchman cantered twice, and then went a mile pretty fast. The Rake and Friponnier did three-quarters of a mile. The Hermit had a couple of canters, and subsequently galloped over a mile quietly. D'Estournel was trotting with Ra violi. About 200 yearlings wore in course of prepara tion this morning.

(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, Channel, and Pigott.) FORSTER T. MACREET/L-NON-LIABILITY OF SOLICITORS. In this case the plaintiff, a bill discounter, brought an action against the defendant, who is a solicitor, to recover the account of a bill of exchange. The bill in question had been endorsed by a partner of the defendant in the name of the firm, and without the authority of the defen dant, and that party had got into difficulties, and was now non est. At the trial it was contended that, under the cir cumstances, the defendant was not liable, but the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, leave being given to de fendant. Mr. Sergeant now moved for a rule calling on the plain tiff to show cause why there should not be a new trial. He founded his application on the ground that it was only in the case of partners in trade that the act of one was binding on the firm, and that solicitors and attorneys were especially exempted from the operation of the law in this respect. The learned counsel cited different authorities in support of the motion, and the Court granted the rule. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.) COLLINS V. NOSES. This was an action the plaintiff, a builder, living in Earl-court, to receive damages for an alleged illegal dis traint, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Collins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cole for the defendant. It appeared that he rented his house in Earl-court from Mr. William Nokes, father of the defendant, with whom he had an account for repairing houses in the neighbourhood, and to whom he had on different occasions paid rent. This gentleman became embarrassed, and for some time the plaintiff paid the rent to the Rent Guarantee Society which acted as his agents. On the 15th of May, 1865, he received a letter from the solicitor of Mr. Nokes, saying that his client had become proprietor of the estate, and requiring him to pay him £63 next Lady-day. Other parties claimed the rent also, and he did not know to whom he was to pay the money when it became due. The defendant put in a distraint in the house, and the consequence was, that the plaintiff lost a lucrative lodger, an/elderly lady, who occupied three apartments, and who became so frightened that she left immediately, and he had not since been able to obtain another lodger. There was a great deal of conflicting evidence. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £54 170., including .£l5 15s. for the loss sustained by his lodger having left in consequence of the proceedings of the defen dant. Leave was given to the defendant to move to re duce the amount by the last item. lay. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HUNGRY, WET, AND COLD.—BEGGING CHILDREN.— James Brown, about 10 years of age, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. Samuel Connolly, 128 0, said that about two o'clock that morning he saw the boy begging at the corner of Tottenham-court -road, wet through, and shivering with cold and almost exhausted. He took the boy to the sta tion-house, whore ho was wrapped in a coat, his clothes dried, and somo food given to him, which he ate rave nously, and seemod very thankful for. Mr. Knox —Has the boy got any parents ? The boy—Only a mother. Mr. Knox—Where does she live ? The boy—Newton-street. Mr. Kuoz—Does she send you out to beg ? The boy (shrinking the question)-1 am a Roman Catholic. (Most of the boys charged with begging state that they are Roman Catholics, with the view of escaping being sent to school, it being known that the school at Walthamstow being full there is is no place available for Roman Catholics.) Mr. Knox—l will send you to the workhouse for a week and see if I cannot take you off the stree ts. Alfred Wood, another little fellow, in a most deplorable condition, having no shoes to his feet and his skin in a filthy state, was charged with a similar offence. Stephen Catt, 107 C, proved taking the boy into custody in Oxford-market, his miserable clothing being wet through. a e is boyrbossingNoute to p beg. c rossing - sweeper the Regent cirTe uhse, said he e father;neve. sent The constable said he had seen the boy begging in the same place for months.

TURNPIKES.—Roads without turnpikes are foun d to answer so well in Ireland that the Iri a s t h te p r l o a u n a m ht u t s o t before long be extended to the rest of the British isles.
