Tkis bankrupt was described as a master in the Royal Navy, and ho came up to-day for the choice of assignees. He attributes his failure to illness and loss of the command of a yacht by the death of the Marquis of Breadalbane, and the badness of the yachting season. The debts are only £1,148. Assignees were chosen and a day named for the next meeting. Central Criminal Court—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) TIIE ST. GILES'S MURDER. The trial of John Richard Jeffreys having been placed at the top of the list of cases to bo taken this morning, Mr• Daly made an application for the postpinement of the trial until to-morrow, as the lino of defence he intended to take required ho presence of certain witnesses, whose at tendance could not be procured until to-morrow. The learned judge granted the application. _ The prisoner, or; being arraigned on the charge of wil fully murdering his son, Richard Arthur Jeffroys, pleaded not guilty. THE MURDER IN SOMERS TOWN. Mary Butcher, 35, married, was placed at the bar on the charge of wilfully murdering Emma Butcher. Mr. Gibson, the surgeon — of Newgato, stated that the prisoner was in such a state of mind as to render her in capable of understanding the charge. The learned judge then ordered her to be detained in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. _ Joseph Gairdelli, Timothy Nolan, and Edward Cane were indicted for feloniously wounding William Paul with intent to murder him. The prosecutor and the prisoners it appeared had formerly had a quarrel, and on the 12th of August the pri soners were standing at the corner of the Euston-road and Tottenham-court-road when the prosecutor came up and the old quarrel was resumed, and during which the pro secutor was stabbed in the stomach, as he alleged, by Gairdelli. The injury was of a very serious description, and the prosecutor was conveyed to the University, Hospital, where he remained some time, his life being in considerable danger. The jury acquitted Cane and Nolan, but found Gairdelli guilty Tho learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to 10 years , penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Frederick Doggan, 30, labourer, a strange, melancholy looking man, was indicted for feloniously and unlawfully attempting to set fire to divers matters and things in the dwelling-house of William Cooper. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Straight prosecuted. It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the post-office, 26, Oxford-street, and for some time previously to the appre hension of the prisoner there was found in the letter-box matches partly burnt, burnt paper, and straw. In conse quence of this the police were set upon the watch, and they saw the prisoner go up to the post-box, having matches and some straw in his hand. Mr. Gibson, tho gaol surgeon, was examined, and said that ho was clearly insane, and not responsible for his ac tions. The jury then found the prisoner not guilty, on the ground of insanity. Arthur Godfrey, 25, clerk, a well-dressed man, pleaded guilty to an indictment for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Blott, and stealing £1 3s. Gd. Mr. Lilley, who appeared for the prisoner, offered a few remarks in mitigation of sentence. The prisoner was again indicted fur a burglary in the dwelling-house of Elizabeth Strong, and stealing a watch, two brooches, and other articles. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. In this case the prosecutor lived at New-cross, and about a week before the robbery the prisoner was seen by two ladies near the prosecutrix's house. When the prisoner was taken into custody a quantity of housebreaking imple ments were found in his possession. Sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) HIGIIWAY ROBBERY. Michael Bryan, 22, labourer, a ferocious-looking man, was indicted for highway robbery. The prosecutrix, a lady named Johanna Hefferman, was walking along Shoreditch when the prisoner came in front of her and made a snatch at her watch chain, and succeeded in getting it away, and then ran off into a very notorious part of the neighbourhood and escaped. He was, however, apprehended by the police about a week afterwards. The prisoner conducted his own case, and cross examined the witnesses at great length. The jury found tho prisoner guilty. Tho learned.judgo sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude, and to receive 40 lashes with a thing commonly called a " cat." MARKETS. --This Day. MARK LAN b. Tho quantity of home-grown wheat received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise and by land carriage was only moderate, but, generally speaking, in good condition. The transactions in all qualities were to a moderato extent at Monday's advance in the currencies. We were well but not heavily supplied with foreign wheat. The demand ruled steady, and the late advance in prices was supported.. Floating cargoes of grain commanded full prices, with a fair inquiry. _ _ The supply of foreign barley was only moderate, and the show, of English produce was trifling. All kinds were in steady request at full prices. _ _ _ Malt was firm on former terms. In oats a fair average business was passing at about late rates. The supply was chiefly composed of foreign parcels. Both beans and peas were firm in price, with a fair de mand. The quantity on offer was small. Flour was firm at Monday's quotations.

STEALTNG HOPS.—James Wood, a packing-case manu facturer, was charged, before Alderman Lusk, M.P., with stealing 171bs. of hops. Watson, one of the City detectives, said that about seven o'clock last evening ho saw the prisoner in Cooper-road, Tower-hill, and had noticed him about the neighbourhood before. The prisoner was talking to another man at the door of Messrs. Toolony and Duggots, hop merchants, in that road. The prisoner went away, but returned, and ho saw him speaking to a man named Ellwell at the door of the same premises, and then take from behind the door a sack, which he threw into a cart that was waiting at the Prino, Albert public-house, about 20 yards distant. He immediately jumped up on the' Cart, and caught hold of tho prisoner, who endeaohred to escape on the opposite side of the cart. He opened the bag and found it contained tho hops in question. He told the prisoner he was a police officer, and ho (prisoner) said, " It is not stolen and I have got a receipt for it in my pocket. I bought it of a rm.n this morning at Tower-hill." He then took him to the station, and, ou searching him, found receipts for hops for 1852, 1853, and 1854. He said he had got a receipt for the hops, and that he had them in the cart all the day. Mr. Alderman Lusk said that was very important ad mission on the part of the prisoner, because you saw him take the bag. Watson said that he found also a small parcel of hops on the prisoner. The prisoner contradicted the officer as to having stated to him that he had had the hops in the cart all day. Mr. F. William Dugget said that he was in partnership with Mr. Toolony, who was then out of town, and ho knew nothing of the transaction except from the police con stable. He could not identify the hops as being the pro perty of the firm. They were mixed, some being old and some now, and they had both on their premises. He was not proparod to express an opinion as to the complicity of Elwell in the transaction, but after the evidence of the officer ho felt bound as a duty to the public to prosecute him. His partner had received information about a fort"- night ago, to the effect that some hops had been removed from the premises without permission. Ellwile, who was in the court, was then placed, and Mr. Duggett formally repeated his statement. The priso ner Elwell was in the service of the firm for three months; sne recetvea an excellent character from him. He was foreman, and had to attend to the warehouse, but it formed no part of his duty to sell any of the hops. George Taylor, a wheelwright, said that he had known Wood for several year; and had done some jobs for him: Last evening, about half-past six o'clock, Wood asked him to come with his cart to Cooper's road, as he wanted hiin to remove something. He went to the Prince Albert pub lichouse to light his pipe, and was not there more than about three minute; and when he wont out he found Wood in the custody of the officer. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday, and the worthy alderman refused the application of Wood to be admitted to bail. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BRECON RACES-TUESDAY.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND HIS TRAVELLING COM PANIONS.—The following description of the personal ap pearance of President Johnson and the principal members of his traveling party is taken from the New York Tribune: "The personal appearance of the principal members of the Presidential party is generally familiar. When they ar rived in New York yesterday afternoon, all looked dusty, and, to a certain extent, travel worn. The President, dressed throughout in plain black, smoothly shaven, more anxious apparently than gratified, listened to the address of Mr. Stewart with his head thrown somewhat forward, evidently in deep thought. His hair is sprinkled with grey, but there is the semblance at least of fire in his face, obsti nacy perhaps ; a look of that unmitigable and power ful perseverance which grows by resistance ; some kind liness; evidently a man easily managed by those who praise liberally, but utterly intractable when criticised. He smiled when the address was completed, evidently pleased. William H. Seward stood by the side of the President, ap parently unconscious of what had boon uttered. The con trast between the twp men was great. One large and dark and fresh, the other small and pale and wan; the one anxious, the tither careless as to what was passing ; but both evidently pondering, in a different way, the same sub ject. The deep heavy scar received at the time Johnson was made President is still plainly visible. The Secretary stood beside his chief, and seemed lost to the present, with his oyes turned inward, rather than upon outward objects. General Grant, with his imperturbable manner, was yes terday precisely as wo have often seen him, with one ex ception—he was not smoking. Dressed in his usual style, a regulation hat, minus the decorations authorised in army regulations ; a military coat, bearing on the shoulders the insignia of his rank, and dark pantaloons, there was little in his appearance to attract attention. His board cut short, lips compressed, despite the agreeable smile that rippled over his almost expressionless face, a manner utterly and permanently quiet, a countenance far beyond the reach of agitation, ho looked as if ho would not be disturbed if the world crumbled at his feet. Secretary Welles is tall and wears a long grey beard, which harmonises with the colour of his hair, and adds somewhat to the peculia r owl ' slender, and looks ishness of his great spectacled eyes. He is a pi c t ure o f every inch servatisma. man. There e F re arr i a s at gusotmisetwalh Leaflike i n hi s l face, and his eyes show the intrepidity and the undaunted courage that made him the hero he is. Ho wore a cap and float, bearing the mark of his rank in the navy, and stood among his companions above them all. Farragut would attract attention in a crowded thoroughfare ; but his face would never say that ho loved war, though it is ono that an enemy might fear when anger flushed it, or kindled into a flame the latent fire of the eyes which give it an expres sion so kindly and so genial." MARLBOROUGU-STREET. VIOLENT ROBBERY OF A FEMALE.—George Nash, a fellow who hangs about the Haymarket, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following violent robbery : Eliza Connell, a servant, residing at 12, Ferdinand place, Haverstock-hill, said that about 10 o'clock last night she sat on a door-step in Jermyn-street for a few minutes, feeling unwell, when the prisoner and another man came up to her. The prisoner grasped hor tightly by the throat, and then tore open the bosom of her dress and took her purse containing half a sovereign and other moneys from her. She called " police," and as soon as the constable came up the prisoner gave her the purse back. Tho prisoner said that seeing the purse lying en the ground he picked it up and gave it to the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix said that was not true—the prisoner took the purse from her. P 3 C, said th a t on hearing Jermyn_street, and saw the u c e t , n 1 thesictae " Police-constable b Ileew prisoner,Gd tto Gordon, n,oorno and another man struggling together.Pcrri°essoelciof o As soon as ho got up to them prisoner handed the prosecutrix a purse, and the other man ran away. He found the prosecutrix's dress torn open, and she said the prisoner and the other man had robbed her. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it, and that it was the other man who had taken the prosecutrix's purse. On searching the prisoner ho found a cabman's badge which had been lost since Juno 1860, and a ring like a "knuckle duster." The prisoner said ho picked up the badge yesterday, and intended to take it to Scotland-yard. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. AN ANTI-TEETOTALLER. — Ann Blades, a woman who has frequently boon charged at this court, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with being drunk and dis orderly. The case having been proved by a constable of the E division, who stated that he saw the prisoner drunk and disorderly in Cavendish street, and that she was obliged to be called on a stretcher to George-street station, a distance of about a mile and a half. Inspector Hubbard, E Division, handed a lot of charges against the prisoner to the Magistrate, from which it ap peared that the prisoner, in 18(33, was charged four times at this court, in 1864 once, in 1865 five times, in 1866 seven times (on one of these occasions being fined 40s. in the morning at this court, and the same afternoon fined 40s. at Marylebone); and it is believed that she has been charged equally as many times at Marylebone Police Court. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for seven days. WESTMINSTER. RUNNING OVER AN OLD GENTLEMAN.--James Caunt, cab-driver, was brought before Mr. Dayman, chared with running over an old gentleman and breaking hie ‘ leg, be- Aides inflicting other injury, tho defendant being - at the time of the occurrence drunk. A policeman said that at 12 last night he was on duty at Knightsbridge, and came up just as the defendant had run over an old gentleman. Defendant, after the occur rence, drove off, but returning shortly afterwards to a standing-place in the neighbourhood witness found that ho was so drunk that he could with difficulty keep his seat, and took him into custody. Witness had previously conveyed the old gentleman to St. George's Hospital. A night porter or watchman at Hankey and Nicholls, Knightsbridge, said ho witnessed the accident. The old gentleman was crossing the road from Charles-street when the defendant's horse knocked him down, and the wheels of his cab (a haasom) passed over his legs. He was unable to rise, and witness, assisted by others, conveyed him to the pavement. Mr. Dayman—How fast was the cabman going ? Witness—Five or six miles an hour. Defendant—You could have helped it well at tho pace you wero going had you been sober. Defendant was remanded for a week. Bail was accepted. The Distress in Cornwall. The Western lifornzng _News gives a very interest ing account of the condition of the Cornish miners. Our contemporary says that the several thousand minors who have left the country during the past year are physically, socially, and morally the best of their class, and are also the more skilful in their em ployment. Seven hundred miners have quitted the St. Just district alone, and have betaken themselves to the coal fields of South Wales and the North of England. More than twice that number have left the Marazion, Camborne, and Redruth districts for Ame rica and Australia. A large number have gone from the and TKaevnistt.ockmadnisyt r h i e a t v e t o emigrated raihray withoutorksinleEaysisnegx a shilling for their wives and families, for the simple reason that there was nothing to leave. These have had to depend upon the kindness of friends and the forbearance of the shopkeepers, who themselves have in many instances been reduced to insolvency through th e impossibility of obtaining payment from their bank alone £BOO per month has been drawn out fo r a b out a year . Of debtors. From one savings th e able-bodied miners who rema i n i n C ornw all som e have taken to the pilcha r d fi s h ery, som e to farm labour. Those who have co n ti nue d i n their old employments have too often been earning less than £2 a month. A large number of the women and girls who work on the surface of the mines have been thrown out of employ by th e s t oppage of the mines, and a pathetic story is told of three young p i n o t n o tear the of are to be found' traders are suffering nearly vroPy when promised y a , y. The • small a week's work. Others, muchlessahlisigahpj Yet—and this is significant of the indepe n dence of as the miners. breaking w h s o t o burst e u s r s t u the Cornish people—there is no great increase of persons dependent upon the rates, or in the work houses. And, together with the independence, there is great self-restraint. "The Cornish miner in his a frantic Irishman, nor likeoaths of the drunken collier u d c i sr t or fs e e s s the neither with btheaok howlscountrybitter he patiently endures hunger, and cheerily works on in hope of brighter days." There are two favourable cir cumstances in the midst of all this depression and gloom.

We regret to state that a telegraphic message was received from Peterhead, late on Saturday evening, by ex-Bailie Yeamau, to the effect that the Alert had arrived from Cumberland Straits, with 60 tons of oil ; that there had been no passage this season through Melville Bay ; and that the steam whalers were all in Cumberland Straits clean in the middle of August. The Alert, which brought this news, is a sailing brig, the property of one of the Peterhead Wintering Companies, and would sail from Peter head either late last autumn or early in the spring. She must have made her fishing in the early spring, as it is only then, or in the autumn, that fish are to be got in Cumberland Straits. The news brought by the Alert is the worst that ever reached Dundee at this advanced season of the year, as it applies to no less than 11 large steam whalers (including one that hails from Kirkcaldy) connected with this port, being the finest and most valuable fleet that ever left the Tay for a 'whaling expedition. Each of the vessels carries on an average 60 men, so that between 600 and 700 . families, irrespective of the owners, are directly interested in the result of the year's fishing. The best fishing is generally that in Pond's Bay, but it is over in July, and the vessels not being able to get through Melville Bay have not succeeded this year in reaching the favourite fishing ground. We understand that after the Alert left they might go north to what is called the Rock Head fishing on the west side of Davis's Straits, if the state of the ice permitted, and there they might get a few whales. After that the practice is to wind up the fishing at the end of the season in Cumberland Straits, where they were when the Alert left ; and there are seasons when a fair fishing can be made at that place, but it is a chance. As we have said, the best fishing ground is at Pond's Bay, and the fishing generally takes place there be tween the 10th and the 25th of July. It is on this fishing that the most reliance is generally placed, but Melville Bay being impenetrable on account of the ice, the vessels have not reached the ground this year at all. When the Alert left, the best of the season, taking the average of years, was gone ; but, of course, it was just possible that the vessels might still catch some fish at Rock Head or Cumberland Straite. In order to show how much interested Dundee is in the results of the fishing, we give the following list of steam whalers that left for Davis's Straits this spring :—The Tay, Capt. Birnie ; the Camperdown, Capt. Bruce ; the Victor, Capt. Walker ; the Polynia, Capt. Nicholl ; the Narwhal, Capt. Sturrock ; the Wildfire, Capt. Souter ; the Alexander, Capt. Walker ; the Esquimaux, Capt. Yule ; the Intrepid, Capt. Deuchars ; the Ravens craig, Capt. Allen ; and the Erik, Capt. Jone s .— Dundee Advertiser. STRUCK DEAD BY LIGHTNING.---On Saturday, about noon, a fine healthy girl, named May West, aged 14, daughter of Peter West, a collier, of Abram Brow, near Wigan, was returning home to dinner from the New Zea land Pit, belonging to the Low Hall Colliery Company, when she was killed by a vivid flash of lightning. Her hair was scorched, the upper part of her chest much burnt, and the leather was stripped from one of her clogs.—Man chester Courier.

They're compelled to answer you out of politeness, and I will say ghosts aro pretty mannered as a rule. But once let 'em out of harness, and they always run to their own stones, like a horse to his stable, and there's no stopping 'em ; and of all bores, I guess a ghoul's life tops 'ens, they're all so long and droffal melancholy. But she was politeness itself, was this young sporit.

ALARMING FIRE AT WIIITECHAPEL.—Late last night a fire, which at ono time threatened very serious consequences, happened in the extensive premises belong ing to Mr. Lazarus, a rag merchant, situate at No. 96, Whitechapel road. The discovery was made by a police constable of the II division, who raised an immediate alarm and sent off for proper assistance. In the course of a few minutes conductors Samuel Wood and W. Rickett arrived with the Royal Society's escape, andwere followed by numerous land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co. Plenty of the East London Company's water having been procured, the firemen had the stand-pipes placed in Beck and Co.'s hydrants, and by that expedient they were enabled to get the fire extinguished without calling the engines into operation, but not before some tons weight of the stock in trade were destroyed. The origin of the fire s unknown. WESTON'S MUSIC MALL.—The latest novelty produced by the new proprietors of this attractive place of entertainment is the band of " Star Minstrels," eighteen in number, whose performances of negro melodies, both vocal and instrumental, are of great excellence and merit. The " funny" man of the troupe is Mr. West, who has achieved a great reputation by his particularly laughable effusions known as stump oratory, and certainly he seems to improve every evening of his performance. We have had many highly-talented troupes of Ethiopian Melodists, but it has been left to the spirit of the new proprietors of this favourite place of amusement to introduce the largest as well as one of the best that has ever ap peared in the metropolis. The audiences attracted by the performance of the " Star Minstrels" are invariably larger than the spacious and elegant hall can accommodate, and therefore to hear the performance of the talented troupe. early attendance is absolutely necessary. There are various other attractions of a very entertaining descrip tion, and the high class entertainment now offered to tho public shows most unmistakably that Messrs. S weasy and Holland are determined to secure talent for their numerous patrons at any price. - DR. WARDER'S CHlLDREN.—Yesterday, at Vice- Chancellor Stuart's Chambers, this case, before reported, was concluded. Since it was last mentioned the parties had been before Vice-Chancellor Stuart, and he had sanctioned the children residing out of the jurisdiction of the court. The next step will be for Miss Gunning, the guardian, to present a memorial to the Crown, and there is every expec tation that the right to the forfeited property will be waived in favour of the children. The property Dr. Warder amounts in the whole to a o considerableis satisfactory m ' and to on the conclusion of the proceedings I ty left su by believe that it will come to the n family. thecase.

GAROTTE ROBBERY.—On Monday, a t th e Brad ford Borough Court, two y oung men, named Michael M'Ginty and Thomas Flannagan, were charged with having on Saturday night garotted a man named Thomas \Via), and robbed him of 10s. The prosecutor, while going to his lodgings in Southgate, Bradford, on Saturday, at midnight, was seized by the throat by the prisoner M'Ginty and another man or two, thrown down, and with groat violence robbed of 108. Tho prisoner M'Ginty was distinctly identified, but there was souie doubt about Flan nagan. !FUiuty has been 11 times in custody for felony, and has been twice sentenced to transportation, being at present at large on a ticket of leave. 11`Giuty was cote initted for trial at the assizes.
