The calls at the Waterloo on Thurs lay were very numerous. —Liverpool Post. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Monday morning last, when the Rev. T. B. Attenborough, Independent minister of Newark, was in his garden stooping down to pick up something against a row of kilnoy beans, the ground on which he stood suddenly gave way, and he had great dif ficulty in throwing himself aside sufficiently to keep his head and shoulders out of the chasm. He succeeded in ca tching hold of a hedge close by, which was fortunately the means of saving his life. It was subsequently ascer tained that the place was an old well about 14 feet deep, with a thick deposit of mud at the bottom. Over the mouth the vegetation of the garden was flourishing, anp there was not even the remains of a board underneath the soil.— St Cololo7'd allercur y. Yesterday was the closing of the Horse Show, and something like 200,000 persons were in the building to witness the jumping and trotting for prizes. SHARE MARKETS.---This day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron Pigott and a Common Jury.) DRIVER V. DALBY. This was an action to recover the commission for selling the lease of a house belonging to the de fendant. _ _ Mr. Digby Seymour, Q C., and Mr. Butler Rigby appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Parry for the defendant. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Seymour that the plaintiff carried on the business as house agent, &c., in the neighbourhood of Oxford-Areet, and that the defendant was the proprietor of a house in that street, the lease of which he desired to dis pose of, and which he had placed in the hands o Messrs. Wagner and Co., but which, it waCalleged by _ _ the plaintiff, he afterwards instructed him to dis pose of, agreeing to give him 21 per cent., and subse quently when they were compelled to lower the price 5 per cent. The plaintiff sold the lease of the house to a Mr. Peacock, who gave £265 for it. It was for 5 per cent. commission on this amount that the action was now brought. Mr. Driver, jun., said that he had seen Mr. Dalby about the house in February last, and that he had instructed him to see the house. He knew a Mr. Peacock, who was desirous of buying it, and he called upon him, and he offered .£l5O, and sub sequently raised his offer to £265, which was accepted. Cross-examined—He knew that Messrs. Wagner and Co.'s bill was on the house. Mr. Dalby did not say that he would have nothing to do with them, but he said that he could not give them an answer until he had seen Mr. Wagner. Ile charged 5 per cent., because the amount of money was to be reduced. It was customary to do so. Mr. Peacock said that he saw Wagner's bills on the house, and went to the plaintiff and asked him if he had the disposal of it. He said he had, and lie (witness) offered him £l5O, and afterwards £250. The plaintiff then agreed to give him £l2 out of his commission, and he raised his price to £265. He supposed that if the plaintiff did not get the commission that he he should get nothing. Mr. Day, house and estate agent, stated that 5 per cent. on the purchase money and the year's rent was always charged in such transactions. The defence was that the defendant had never instructed the plaintiff to let the house for him at all, and he and his witnesses gave evidence to prove this. The case was not concluded when we went to press POLICE INTELLIGEtICE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. PROFESSOR HARRISON AND HIS PUPILS.—James llarrison, " the Strongest Mau in the World," and landlord of the Sheridan Knowles public-house, Brydges-street, appeared in discharge of his bail to answer a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm upon two persons, named William Jolley and and James Rainey, on Thursday last. Mr. Abrams appeared for the defendant, and stated that he had but just been instructed in the case, and as there were a great number of witnesses whose evidence was very conflicting, he bad to ask for a further remand until next Tuesday. Mr. Flower at once acceded to the application, and the bail having been renewed " The Professor" quitted the court with his friends. Two respectably dressed men, named Smith and Fearman, were placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing a cheque for £lO, the property of Mr. Mason Jones. From the evidence it appeared that the wife of Mr. Mason Jones, on the 15th of May, had her pocket picked of her purse, containing a cheque for £lO, a Bank of England note. for £5, two sovereigns, a receipt for gas, and other trifling things. On discovering her loss she sent to the bank and the cheque was stopped. On the same afternoon the prisoners entered the Plough public-home in Museum-street, when smith told the barmaid he had found a cheque, but that he should like to restore it. At this time a person who h ad been partaking of refreshment left the house, wheuSinith asked the barmaid if she knew his name, as more than likely he was the person who had lost the money. She told him she did not, but that if he would write his name on an envelope, in the event of his returning to make inquiry about it, she would give it to him. Smith then wrote on a paper the following address :—" S. W. Walters, 15, Berners-street, Oxford-street." After the men had gone away the barmaid, on entering the taproom, found a receipt for gas made out in the name of Mr. Mason Jones. Knowing that that was th e name on the cheque, she at once communicated with the lady. When the nature of the robbery be came k nown Dowdell, a police constable, succeeded in taking the two men into custody. The prisoner Smith had obtained the amount of the cheque from a Mr. Gould the proprietor of the Enterprize public house, in Long Acre, on the representation that he had received it from Mr. Mason Jones for work done—that Ile had had previous trans actions with Mr. Jones, for which he had been paid by cheques, and that he always found them right. The address written by Smith on the envelope was a fictitious one. Mr. Metcalfe, on behalf of Mr. Smith, said the men had picked up the cheque at the Plough public-house, where it no doubt ha9l been lef t by the actual thief, and that as they had not attempted to negotiate it immediately after they had found it, but, on the contrary, had shown it to the barmaid, and expressed a desire to return it to the kowner, there was no evidence of felony, neither was there any evidence that the prisoners were at all connected with the omnibus robbery. Mr. Flowers said they might have easily ascer tained the address of Mr. Jones by applying at the bank, which they had not done, and, moreover, Smith had actually made use of a false representa tion to get the cheque cashed. Uncle:. these circum stances, it was his duty to send the case to a jury. The prisoners were then duly committed for trial, but admitted to bail. a portion of the knife in the wound. Crockett died three days afterwards in the London Hospital. Five Swedish seamen were charged with-being con cerned in the affray, but the evidence was insuffi cient, and Mr. Partridge had die charged them, re marking that a " foul murder" lad been commit ted, and.that he hoped the police would be enabled to trace the guilty parties. Since this Mr. Part ridge has received a letter from Messrs. Coubro and Potter, the employers of the dece:tsed man, which the Magistrate handed to our reporter, and of which tke following is a copy:— << 65, Frederick-street, London, E.C., - May, 31, 1867. " Sir,—The man, Charles Crockett,' who was stabbed in Chapman-stree, St. George's East, on the 13th inst., uncicc the circumstances brought before you at the examination ou the 18th inst., was a carman in our emeloy. lle had been in our service for the last seven years, and during that time conducted himself without a single breach, soberly and honestly. II: has lel - , a widow and one child. The wid my will probably be confined next month. Our object in writing to you is to ask if there b 3 any fund at your disposal or the Govern ment's, for the aiding to keep the widow and chil dren of a poor man thus sud denly brought to an end by the hand of an assassin in the public street ;. we, of course, will du all we can afford to do to alleviate the helpless, condition of Mrs. Crockett, but our own aid could only be of a tem porary kind, and then the burdin of maintaining and educating the children will fall upon her own exer tions, unless assisted by something of the nature of a pension from Government. Mrs. Crockett has re ceived from the club of which her husband was a member the sum of £7, being all she is entitled to from that source. That is already almost all ex pended in charges connected with the burial.. If you would kindly inform us on the above point, or inti mate to us any course we should pursue to benefit the poor woman we would esteem it a high favour. —We are, sir, yours very respectfully, CONTRO and POTTER." Mr. Partridge said he was not aware there was any fund at the disposition of the Government to assist the widow of the deceased, and he had never heard of a pension being granted to the widow or family of a murdered man. The case was a very pitiable one indeed, and the poor widow was an object of great sympathy. The firm whose letter he had received was a very respectable one, and he was quite satisfied of the genuineness of the case. He would award Mrs. Crockett £3 from the poor box fund, and he should be very glad if something more could be done for her. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL.

Charles Robinson, proprietor and driver of the cab, said—Last night I was called to the • Bedford I lotel, Covent-garden. I was told to take the de fendant wherever he wanted to go, and not to leave him till I got him home. I drove the defendant up the Edgware-road, and on looking icto the cab I found the defendant had fallen off the seat and was lying at the bottom of the cab. I tried to rouse the defendant up, and then drove him back to the hotel. `'Then I got there they roused the defendant up, and he then said that he lived at 69, Cambridge terrace, Edgware-road, and on my . driving the de fendant there he was not known.

THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER IN ST. GEORGE IN-THE-EAST—AN APPEAL TO PUBLIC SYMPATHY. --An investigation took place at this court, on the 18th of last month, respecting the "foul murder" of a man named Charles Crockett, who was way laid by sonic foreign seamen four days previously, one of whom, without the semblance of provoca ion, stabbed him on the head with a knife, and left WESTMINSTER.. A SELF - STYLED " GEN TLEMAN."—Henry Ed wards, a man about 30 years of age, was charged with creating a great disturbance at the house of his mother, 31, Oakley-street, Chelsea, and he was further charged upon a warrant which had been issued against him. Mr. Smyth, solicitor for the complainant, stated that defendant was in the habit of visiting at his mother's house, and when he did so was guilty of the greatest misconduct. He was there only a short time ago and broke £4O worth of furniture. He repeated his visit on the day following, and threat ened to murder his mother. He c ime last night again, jumped over the area railings, and used the most frightful language and threats. Frederick Edward Mills, a man between 30 and 40 years of age, was put into the witness-box, and on being asked to describe himself, said that he was a retired butcher,whose father had died and left him property, and therefore described himself as a gen tleman. The complainant lodged at 31, Oakley street, and defendant came there on Sunday week, smashed a chest of drawers, and, flourishing a thick stick, threatened him in the most serious way, and afterwards said he would murder the whole lot and stab a policeman who was called. Mr. Bury Hutchinson, for the defence—Are you his brother-in-law ? Complainant—Yes. _ _ . Mr. Selfe—Are you married to his sister? Complainant—No, T am not. Defendant—Are you not living with my sister, a girl of the age of 17, under my mother's roof ? Com phinant—l es. Defendant—She has a child by you, has she not? Complainant—Yes. Defendant—Have you not a wife living ? Complainant—Yes ; but there is a divorce rend ing every day. Mr. Selfe—And you call yourself a gentleman. Complainant—Yes. Mr. Selfe—Then I beg you will drop that style and take and call yourself an ex-brttcher. The case was adjourned upon bail for the ap pearance of the mother. FASHIONS.FOR JUNE. Although the robe fourreau and the short CO3- thine appear to be the styles, par excellence, of the present season, they arc made with such various mo difications that perhaps it will not be difficult to adapt them to most tastes. For example the short dresses are made in all possible styles. Short skirt over one to match, or of a contrasting colour ; skirt caught up by bows or rosettes; skirt plaited up square at the sides ; tunic rounded and short in front, open at the sides, and longer and square at the back ; long skirt, but so caught up as to appear tied ; skirt tied up at the back and sides ; in brief, skirts drawn up to various heights and in various ways, or short, open, &c. The paletot matching the dress is very generally worn with these dresses. Some of the prettiest of these costumes are made of black taffetas, the bot tom trimmed round with a double bias of green, blue, or violet ; the under skirt having two or three narrow flounces, and the short black paletot with a bias of piping to match. The " Greek" and "Jewess" sleeves are coming more and more in favour ; they are more especially suitable for dresses of a rich material. The " Greek" sleeve is open quite to the top of the arm. and cut square. The " Jewess" is a wide open sleeve, but made round, and slightly pointed. They are both made very long. To the robe' fourreau, with its long train, tunics are sometimes added, or the front of the dress is made of a different colour to the other part of the robe, forming a tablier or plas tron ; in the latter the trimming is generally placed on the body in the form of a Spanish vest, round in front and quite short at the back. Blue, maize, and bouton (for are, perhaps, the favourite colours just now, but many dresses are of a blue-grey or a pearl grey. Embroidery - of silk and beads is very much used as a trimming ; also plaits of silk, either match ing the dress or of a different shade ;. but nothing is more in vogue as a trimming than satin. Long sashes, well as the peplum The newest bonnets are ver y small fanchons or she tied e eio btrechion of jet. jot. are much worn, a s oval-shaped rounded at the back, the part resting on the chignon trimmed with lace or beads and delicate sprays of flowor ; but, without doubt, the n i e is than n o the s Uff dillictulty so to very small bonnets req uire more s kill in the arrange mentmall oorftltylole ago,ritn a trimming it place the flowers, feathers, or ribbons (and, in some cases, all three of these) on so .s•nall a foundation without overcrowding it, and so giving the appear ance of heaviness ; however, this i 3 an art which many of our modistes have attained, the proof of which we have in wily elegant and becoming coiffures.—Lc SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. -_____.________ (By Electric Telegraph.)

Metropolitan Board of Works. The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board was held yeAerday at the offices . in Spring gardens—Sir J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement. was presented, which shOwed . that the cash balances in the hands •of the treasurer amounted to £458,382 15s. 81., cheques not presentedl•s3,79s7s.Bd. Cheques were ordered to be drawn for public improvements amounting to £12,399-05. THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT AND WIDENING OF PARK-LANE. A report was brought up from the Works and General Purposes Committee, which stated that they had further considered the • communication from . the parish of St. George, Hanover-spare, on the widening of Park-lane ; and in reference to it the vestry'. transmitted to them a copy of a‘letterre ceived from the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., in reply to the resolution of the vestry on the subject of widening Park-lane, stating that upou a representation to her Majesty that the width of that portion of Park-lane within the parish of St. George, Ilamover-square, was not sufficient to pro vide for the safe passage of the increasing traffic through it, and that the widening of so much thereof as abuts on the Royal demesne of Hyde-park would be a great public improvement, her Majesty had been graciously pleased, in order to facilitate this im provement, to authorise the setting back of the park boundary fence, and to permit the portion of the park which would be thus left unenelosel to be ap propriated by such body or bodies as the Commis sioner of Works might direct, for the purpose of widening and improving Park-lane. The First Commissioner also stated that he was then prepared to consider any pans and sections which might be subMitted to him by the vestry of St. George, Hanover-square, how they proposed to widen and improve the carriage-way and footpath. The com mittee had discussed the subject of the correspon dence, and they were strongly impressed with the importance of carrying out such an improvement as the one suggested. The application for the board to make up and put into a proper state of repair land which had been gratuitously given up for the purpose of widening as existing thoroughfare was a somewhat unusual one; but it appeared to the com mittee that this was a special and exceptional case, as Park-lane was well known to be an important leading thoroughfare, connecting, as it did, the traffic between the north and south-west portions of the metropolis, and since the opening of the rail way termini at Victoria it had become one of the main routes fur omnibuses and other traffic. It must be borne in mind that there was no outlet be tween this point and Kensington fir the traffic to the south-west portions of the metropoliA. It ap peared, -therefore, to the committee that•the hn provement was in no way a local one, but an essen tial one of ai metropolitan character, and should be carried Out by this board, niore especially when it was borne in mind that the board was actually pro moting a bill for improving a portion of the lane, and that the proposed extension of the widening would in every respect render the improvement more com plete and valuable. The committee considered that a great boon had been conferred upon the rate payers by the grant of the land out of the park for the purpose of the improvement, and they felt that the board might with propriety and advantage to the public interests comply with the request of the vestry. They therefore presented the following recommenda tion for the adoption of the report :—" That taking into consideration the fact that the grant which has been made by the Crown of a portion of Hyde-park for the purposes of facilitating the public traffic in Park-lane, has been made with a view of completing the improvement now sought to be effected by the board at the Piccadilly entrance to the lane, the board do put the road into a proper state of repair with a view to its being vested in and maintained in future by the parish of St. George, llanover-square." Mr. FREEMAN, in moving that the rvcornmenda tion of the committee be adopted, said there could be no doubt that the widening of Park-lane would be a great public improvement, and a boon to the inhabitants of the metropolis. Colonel llr. n i c l I I I A O R G D G s , . c: r s e e d co a i s l d a e l d , t a h i en amendment that f t u h r e t r h t e , p r o d r i t se b u e ssiuu, referredaud b u a r c g k e I to t h a t t he i t coim was n fori v t e te ry e im proper for the aristocratic parish of St. George, Hanover-square, to desire what was a local improve ment to be carried out at the cost of the entire me tropolis. The parish of St. George, Hanover-square, was a very wealthy one, and if it was assessed 50 per cent. more than it was at present -it would not more than bear its fair share of the public burdens. Mr.. SILAS TAYLOR seconded the amendment, and said it was his opinion that the parish of St. George ought to be called upon to do the work. Cul. lIoGG, M.P., supportel the original motion, and in reference to St. George's being an aristocratic parish he said when he was returned to that board ho did not come there to represent one corner of the metropolis, but : to look to time general interests of .the whole .of the metropolis, and he gontended that, there was no wish on the part of the . parish of St. Georgets,Hanover-square, to shirk any burdens that could be fairly cast upon it. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR believed that a great prlnciple was involved in this question, as it was proposed to contribute to property that had not come into their poslession, and of which they did not poSiesS the fee simple.. if it was intended to be adopled as .a . gene: rat rule, and to apply to the application from. the City_ he should give it his cordial support. The CHAIRMAN then put the motion, when the amendment was negatived by 18 to 14. Two or three other amendments were moved, bu eventually the original motion was carried. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. On the recommendation of the Works and Gene ral Purposes Committee resolutions were carried to the effect that the board do contribute one-half of the purchase-money for widening a portiOn of Cob halt-row, Clerkenwell, at a cost not exceeding £125; and one-half the cost (1:3,00j) of an improvemen at the south-west corner of Fenchurch-street and Gracechurch-street. Sums of money were alSo voted for improvements at the north-west corner of Fen church -street and Gracechurch-street ; at Nos. 7 and 8, Throgmortou-street ; in Tokenhouse-yard ; im proving the canal bridge in Caledoni an-road, and the bridge over the New River in Canonhury-road.

BARON CRANNELL.—We have authority to state that the rumoured intended resignation of Baron Chan nel' 'is without substantial foundation. llis Lordship has boon suffering from recent indisposition, but ho has no intention of resigning his judicial office; and hopes that he may be able, for some time to come, to discharge his duties as heretofore. We need hardly add that it gives us great satisfaction to be able to contradict the rumour for undoubtedly there is no judge at present upon the bench more rospe :tot by the blir and more trusted by tho public than 'Baron Channel ; and we express the general feeling when wo desire that his Lordship's health may permit him for a long period to continue to adorn a bench to which ho adds b Ith weight and dignity.—Lazo Times. :RoTAL MUNIFICENCE.—A correspondent of the IVestern Morning News writes :—The Queen is about to perform au ad of great munificence.
