M NtY MARKET v.IFIERCIA A. NI, TWBLYE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England at their meeting this day have made no change in their terms for discount. Notwithstanding the confi dence felt in the present Government the unsettled state of affairs naturally deters monetary and com mercial enterprise. At the Bank of England there were no gold ope rations of importance yesterday afternoon. The Hermann, from New York, has brought £45,000 in specie for England, and a small amount for Bremen. Biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The minimum price was fixed at ls. Hid. in Calcutta and M :dras, and is. tl4d. on Bombay. Nu tender of import ance was received at these prices. Mr. Thomas •Gaskell, jun., an underwriter at Lloyd's, has forwarded circulars to his creditors intimating his inability to meet his engagements, and stating that he has placed his affairs in the bands of Messrs. Brown, Son, and Hays, accoun tants. We understand that a contract was signed yester day by Mr. Cyrus W. Field, acting on behalf of the New York, Newfoundland, and London Tele graph Co., with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Co. for a submarine cable between Placentia, Newfoundland, and Sydney (Nova Scotia). The line will be laid in the early part of the summer. Mr. Field, having effected this very satisfactory arrangement in the interests of Atlantic telegraphy will leave for New York in the Great Eastern on the 20th of March. From the inactivity which has characterised the Stock Exchange generally during the past week, the American market has not been exempt. The absence of business both on home and Continental account has caused quotations of United States Government Securities to sympathise entirely with prices received by telegraph from New York. Since our last the quotation for 5.20 Bonds has improved oue-half per cent., closing 731 and 73j.. The difference between this issue and that of 1865 is now about one and a half per cent. For railroad shares the demand has been very limited—lllinois Central are last quoted 77 to being a slight improvement, while Eries have declined to 364 to 364. It is stated that the London and Colonial Com pany (Limited) being in a state of difficulty it has been arranged to place it in liquidation, and -Mr. Theodore B. Jones, the accountant, and Mr. J. Spong, the late manager, will carry out the arrange ment with the authority of the Court of Chancery. This company was established in 1859, and took over the business of Mr. Robert Tooth and other parties connected with the Australian trade. The depreciation in Australian assets and the depression in general trade will account for these embarrass ments. According to the " Joint-stock Companies' Directory" for 1867 the capital is £360,000, of which £200,000 is paid up. The last dividend was declared at the rate of 12i per cent. per annum. Ths last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1867. 1866.

Id. The shareholders will be prepared to learn that, consequent on the severe crisis here and in the East, the realisation of certain assets of this company will be attended with loss; but, after a most careful estimate, the directors are glad to be able to assure the shareholders that such loss will not exceed £22,000, against which they have the balance at credit of profit and loss of £14,944 78. ld. above mentioned. After mature considera tion the directors have determined to postpone the division of profits for the present, and trust in their desire thus to strengthen the position of the company they will receive the concurrence of the s hareholders. In submitting this report the direc tors have the satisfaction of informing the share holders that during the past exceptional year this c ompany has, without any sacrifice of its property, met all engagements, and, by prudently narrowing all liabilities, has entered upon no business that ca n in any way rende r n ecessary a call upon the Sh areholders. The reduction of liability on the uncalled capital continues to have the attention of y o ur Board, a n d th e y h o p e i n a s h or t time to lay b efore you a sche me f or t h e recons t ruc tion of the com pany. In the meantime the directors would re mind the shareholde rs , th a t as th e t ota l d e bt o f t he Company is limited to the payment of the de natures and deposits as they fall due, amounting `o leas th an one -thi r d o f t h e pa id -up cap i ta l , their liability is at present virtually nominal. • Two o'CLocx. -NO particular change has taken place in the dis count market since the adjournment of the Bank mart. Penianism, trades' unions, and the inclement state O f the weather have added to the previous heaviness Of t he Stock Exchange markets.

Account 9Ol 1 DEBRETT'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOR 1867 are improvements (as usual) upon the best of their predecessors. And they are so after more than one whole century's existence. They are beautifully printed, as usual, and with an eye (as usual) to the utmost accuracy both of fact and of typo graphy. The heraldic emblazonments are de rived in every instance originally from Heralds' College in Doctors' Commons, but they have beyond that in the majority of instances received supple mentary revision under the hands of the chiefs of the families referred to in the various biographies. One im mense improvement peculiar to the present edition of De brett, this new issue of it for 1867, as compared even with the best of all its predecessors, the edition for 1866, is the addition of the Family Names of the Peers in their alphabetical order. Tho facilities thereby supplied for instant refereuce i almost, one is tempted to say, all but just perfected. Sup. , plemented again to each Peer's biography is the biography alse;of his immediate predecessor. There-is a biographical notice too attached to the name of each member of the House of Convocation. Added to all which ,there is now included in this advanced and revised and all but perfected edition of Debrett's Peerage-what has thus, 'for the first time, been given in any peerage whatever—the addresses of the Sons and Daughters of Peers. Particular interest, again, is imparted to the second of the two volumes under notice, by its embracing within it memoirs of the new members of the House of Commons, as well *as of the new additions to the roll of Baronets and Knights. As the handiest, cheapest, most correct, impartial, and independent of all the Guides to the Lords and Commons, as well as to all the Baronets and Knights of the United Kingdom, Debrett always secures, what it has for so many years eminently well deserved - the welcome due to an old and trusty favourite, a ready and reliable remembrancer. PENNY PART MlMC—What Next ?—is actually just now being issued from the .Press in Weekly Numbers, under the title of " Davidson's Choral Cyclopedia." What we have yet seen of the Serial is ad mirably well done—the music being arranged throughout by James Brabham, and the words taken either directly from Holy Writ or from such writers as Dr. Watts and Sir John Bowring. As a Collection of Part Music for Singing- Classes, Schools, Families, and Congregations, it cannot possibly prove otherwise than most acceptable. PRIVATE THEATRICALS.—Last night the " Tyro Thespians" gave a performance at their very prettily arranged theatre in Southampton-row. The piece se lected was the excellent burlesque of "Kenilworth," which was given with a dash and spirit that elicited the greatest applause. The part of the Earl of Leicester was capitally sustained by Miss F. Price, the Duke of Sussex found a very captivating representative in Miss Stanyon, and Sir Walter Raleigh was smartly hit off by Miss B. Price. Queen Bess, by Mr. A. Spilling, was a capital bit of burlesque acting, and Miss Coleman, as Amy Robsart, was excellent and telling. Miss Gibbs, as Janet, gave her part with effect; Mr. T. Price, as Tresillian, acted with his usual ability, and Wayland Smith and Varney were each well sustained by Mr. Stanyon and Mr. R. Hall. From first to last the piece went off with the greatest éclat, and at the fall of the cur tain the applause . of.a" very largo audienci) was 9tips*- tin, The dresses were superb, IHE • SUN, LONUON, Tii URSD AY EVENING, _MARCH 7 1867.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tuts DAY.) Their lordships met to-day, at half-past eleven o'clock, having been summoned on the second reading of THOMSON'S DIVORCE. BILL. Sir G. Honeyman, with whom was Mr. Hannan, opened the case. From the learned counsel's statement it ap peared this bill was brought before their lordships at the instance of Colonel Thomson, of the 54th Regiment of Infantry, for a divorce from his wife, by reason of her adultery with Colonel Bush, also an officer in the British army. In 1852 the petitioner was stationed with his regi ment at Qu4)ec, and became acquainted with his wife, whr , was the daughter of Admiral Boxer, then in command at Quebec, and they were married early iu that year . They Lved happily together until 1862. In 1857, Culotte] Thomson and his wife came to Englan,l, and afterwards' went to India, 'where the mutiny had broken out. Colonel Thomson was , ordered to assist the other British troops, and left his wife with the wife of a brother officer. On the suppression of the mutiny he joined his wife, but slit was obliged to go to the hills at M tssouri for the benefit o' her health. Colonel Thomson left her with Colonel ati( Mrs. Herbert, and went to take command of his regiment in another p•trt of India, Colonel Herber', who we:- the cotum ruling officer, being absent on leave. 11, received shortly after be left a telegram front Colonel Herbert desiring hi•n to come to Massouri imme diately, and, on arriving there, he found that his wife had eloped with Colonel Bush. That gentleman and Mrs. Thomson left India, and on their arrival in this country took lodgings at Dover, where they lived as man and wife. The Lord Chancellor asked why the case had not been brought before the Divorce Court instead of their lordships' house ? Sir J. Honeyman said that the difficulty in proceeding in that court was the decision given by the judge ordinary in the case of Mrs. Yelverton. That learned "Ijudge had said that the court had no jurisdiction un less the parties to a suit were domiciled in England. Col. Thomson ,had also failed in obtaining redress from the Supremo Court in India, the learned judge of which con sidered that it was a case out of hiS jurisdiction. Ho had, however, brought an action for crim. con., and was awarded £lO,OOO &makes, and he had obtained in this country a a divorce a mensa et thoro, so that he was . quite in a pug- . tion to apply to the House of Lords for a full divorce. The necessary evidence was given, after which the bill was read a second time. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde, and a Special Jury.) THE EXTRAORDINARY DIToRCE CASE—WOOD V. WOOD AND STANGER. 't The further hearing of this extraordinary case was re sumed this morning. The evidence tendered 6n behalf of the petitioner after we went to press last night consisted entirely of confirma tory proof by the domestic servants as to Mr. Stanger's visits, the only addition being a female witness, named Frill, who was not called on the last occasion, and who also stated that the visits of Dr. Stanger were constant and notorious. The same counsel appeared as yesterday. Ann Loon, a new witness, examined by Dr. Spinks, stated that she was a general servant at Mr. Wood's. For three months during that time Dr. Stanger came most days. Witness often let him in. He came generally in the evening. He came when Mr. Wood was out. He would stay an hour or so. They were in the dining-room together alone. Witness had knocked at the door and found it locked frequently. She would stay a few minutes until the door was opened, and then it was so generally by Mr. Stanger. Witness had gone into the room when they were together, and she had seen Mrs. Wood on Mr. Stanger's knee. He was sitting on the couch. She had seen Mrs. Wood sitting at his feet. lie was not doing anything to her eyes. He did so on one occa sion. Witness- remembered Dr. Stanger calling one morning when she was in her dressing-room. She spoke to him from upstairs, and he ran upstairs to her. He stayed a quarter of an hour. She was not ill, and was . dresSed. Mrs. Wood had talked of Dr. Stanger giving her money, and so that she could get money without asking her husband. She was in the habit of indulging in drink, and was then very free in her con versation. Witness did not remember anything particular that she said. Cross-examined bey Dr. Watnboy—Mrs. Wood gave wit ness notice. She stayed out later than she ought, and Mrs. Wood would not liiten to what she had to say. It was 11 or 12 o'clock. She'said sho would not have such goings on in her house. Witness went in and saw Mrs. Wood sitting on Dr. Stanger's knee as coolly as possible. Wit ness's memory had been a little " tickled" since she read the account of this trial in the pacers. By the Judge—Witness did not know any more about Mrs. Wood's diseases than what that lady haul told her herself. On one occasion she told witness that Dr. Stanger had operated on her for a tumour in the womb, and that Mrs. Brownsword was present. • Francis Burroughes (examined by Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson) stated that ha _kill. , 24 1. 4. Wood and Dr. Stanger well. Witness recollected Michaelmas, 1865, when he saw Mrs. Wood and Dr. Stanger in the cemetery. Tho doctor came in from the Shakspere entrance. Witness was filling in a grave. Thomas Spencer came to assist him. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) MARKETS.--This day. StJARS MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. iailway .

CHARLES IN AMEURT'S READINGS AT THE MARYLEIIONE INSTITUTION, — A press of Parliamentary and other matter has hitherto prevented our noticing, at the length to which they were entitled, the above gentleman's readings on the evening of the 25th March —of which readings, it is true, brief mention was, nevertheless, made in The Sun of the Wednesday following. We are [almost tempted, by the way, to call these Readings at once " Recitations," for so well acquainted was Mr. Nameurt with tho two subjects he had chosen, that there was little a necessity for his having rec ours e to the book before him. s T t a h n i This ew, for rhave example)always s n advanced thought (s stop iil towards success in Mr. Dickens's in reading to an audience. "The Gathering of the Clans," from Scott's "Lady of the Lake," and the concluding scenes from the " Bride of Lamm)rznoor," were the subjects chosen for this occasion, and the stirring and animated action of the first, and the drainatic and deeply interesting events of the second, were most effectively given—though equal talent was exhibited in the deliverance of those very opposite delineations of human plssioa or feeling. The scenes from the "Bride of Lammermoor" arpealed more powerfully to ourselves, it is true —though this may, perhaps, have been owing to individual taste, the subject suiting ns better. It appeared t us that there was an originality or peculiarity in these readings we had not hitherto noticed. They , seemed to us to be literally " fine readings "—the emanations of a gentle manly and an educated man, who fully appreciated his author. And this occurred to us so forcibly as to give rise to the wish that an original tale might be written for Mr. Nameurt. We believe it would be the best advertisement the author could have. We shall hope to hear more of Mr. Nameurt. COMPLIMENT TO A COMPOSEII.—A very gratifying incident occurred at the last festival of the Ancient Britons. After the very popular song, "God bless the Prince of Wales," had been sung, Mr. Brindley Richards, the com poser, had the honour of an introduction to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who presided over the fes tivities, and received from his Royal Highness a most flat tering and gratifying recognition of bis.Ulent as a own poser. Dramatic, Equestrian, and kusical Sick Fund Association. The anniversary festiyal in aid of the funds of this association was celebrated last evening at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, under the presidency of Mr. Lyster O'Beirne, M.P. Tin company numbered in all upwards of 250 ladies and gentlemen, and the arrangements were successfully carried out under the able direction of Mr. Anson, the secretary. The theatrical profession was repre sented in large numbers, and it was remarked that the proportion of ladies was greater than it has been at any former gathering. Due honour having Leen done to the usual loyd , cud patriotic toasts, the CHAIRMAN proposed " Sn:. cess to the Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Sid Fund Association," and as an illustration of tht large amount of good which the society could effect with comparatively small sums, Mr. O'Beirne men ioned the . case of an actor in a provincial town. who, in consequence of the sickness and subsequent ,loath of his wife, had been thrown out of an en gagement and left penniless with two. helpless chil dren. He was not a subscriber to this association, but he applied to .the secretary, and he obtained such relief as he needed, and at so small an expendi ture as IS. After some remarks respecting the very_ acceptable practice of introducing ladies at ;hese meetings, the chairman made au earnest ap peal to the benevolent feelings of all present, and more especially to those of the ladies, who he trusted would exercise the privilege they possessed of influ encing the rougher portion of creation to do such good as was now required of them. -(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with the most cordial accla mations. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Ladies," say ing that he was permitted to associate with that toast the name of a lady who had now become familiar to this association as our household words. Under such circumstances another syllable from him would be surplusage, and he would therefore be con tent with commending the toast to their notice, coupled with the name- of Mrs. Stirling., Mrs. STIRLING, on rising, spoke as follows :—Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen, every privilege entails its penalty. I believe that is true of the gen tlemen, I am sure it is true of the ladies ; but if the privileges that belong to us by right of sex have their penalties, the same thing holds, I find, of those we win from yours. The privilege, for example, we are now exercising—that of taking our places at a public dinner table, is one that was once reserved for you. The public dinner, like the Freemasons' lodge, was tabooed to the ladies; we didn't know what mys teries might go on at either; we only knew we were excluded from both -= that was enough. We concluded there Must be a secret worth winning in the one— and I need not remind you that the great masonic secret has been in our keeping ever so long—and that there was a privilege worth winning in the other; so we determined to win it. Now, when a woman determines to win a thing from a man, as a rule she does win it sooner or later—generally sooner; so we won our places at the public dinner, and ever since, lat least—l won't answer for my sisters—have been experiencing the penalty that follows this privilege —the penalty of having to make a speech. It is usu ally taken for granted that to make a speech the speaker must have something to say. I don't admit it; mind, ladies have the power of saying a good deal about nothing; but to make a good speech I do feel one must be able to say one's something, or nothing, neatly, prettily, and pointedly. It used to be said of Dr.:Johnson that he never sent a storyinto the world without putting a cocked hat on its head and a gold headed cane in its hand. I am sure no lady's after dinner speech ought to be allowed out without the most bewitching of headdresses and the most ele gant of French fans to flirt; and where is a poor woman to find coin for such expensive appendages year after after year? I find it very difficult to put a new face on my after-dinner speech, in which I have to acknowledge your. toast " The Ladies" on behalf of my sisters, whose presence here your are good mough to say graces your . board, and ought, I say, to quicken your benevolence in the good c Luse we arc all met to support. I admit we are in our places here, for our presence testifies to our interest in a charity whose field admits no limitation of sex, as its liberality recoguises no distinction of " h e " and "she." Sickness and sorrow fall evenly on m en and women—and we are the weaker under its blows: this gives women some special claims on the good offices of this charity. I don't suppose, Mr. Chair man, that any of the gentlemen here are of the sort described by Sydney Smith as " ready enough to do the good Samaritan without the oil and the two pence ?" But there may be some whose generosity would be more stirred, and their hearth more moved, if they knew of the hard battles the actor and act ress have to fight—not their mimic battles on the stage, " with four or five ragged foils, most ill-dis posed in brawl ridiculous"—but the real hard bat tles of brave, -though sometimes sinking hearts, against the wants, the privations, and the disap pointments of a calling whose prizes are so few and whose blanks so many. That the player's heart and hand are ever open to his brother player's need is now well known ; indeed, that is a virtue granted to our profession by those who will not allow we can possess another. We hope we sometimes do good quietly and by stealth, but the world knows that whenever some poor but worthy comrade has fallen in his hard life's battle before he could make provi sion for the dear ones left hehind, the need is no sooner known than the willing services of all are tendered on behalf of the widow and the fatherless, and I am proud to know that on all these occasions the women do their womanly work of benevolence no less strenuously than the men. Of all women's rights there is none of which we are so proud as our right to be in the midst of all who help the sick and the suffering. Of all woman's missions none so certain as her mission to feed the hungry and to clothe the naked, to stay the failing steps, and to bind up the broken heart. By virture of that right, in discharge of that mission, we claim to figure in the front of thissociety, not at its dinner-table only, or in its dance and 'Song, but in thelist of its subscribers, in the ranks of its promoters and of its workers. Gentlemen, the - very flattering manner in which you received the mention of my name in connection with this toast, if it could not inspire me with eloquence, at least demands my hearty thanks, which I tender you on my own be half and-for my sisters, who are proud to take part in: your. work of charity-and - benevolence. I thank you, for the toast of "The Ladies," and beg leaW to drink the toast of the "The Gentlemen" in return. Mrs. Stirling having resumed her seat amid the most cordial marks of approval, Mr. HALLIDAY proposed "The health of Mr. Be njamin Webster," the president of the association. Mr. Webster was unfortunately totally unable to be present on the occasion ; but the interest he had ever shown in the welfare of the institution was not in the smallest degree lessened, and no man was more entitled than he was to the respect and good wishes of the whole profession. (Loud cheers). Mr. ANSON, the secretary, in responding to the toast, said he had just received a most touching letter from their esteemed friend, Mr. Webster, and he was happy to say that their excellent president was progressing towards restored health. Air. HODGES proposed "The health of the Chair man," who briefly returned thanks, and the plea sures of the evening terminated in a ball, which lasted till a late hour. • EVANS'S.—During the- early portion of the century the place was held in high repute as a dinner and coffee-room. It acquired the name of the " Star" from the number of men of rank by whom it was frequented. It has been said that previous to the forma tion of clubs it was no unusual circumstance for nine dukes to dine there in a day. The present hall, to which the cafe department forms a species of ve stibule, was built on a plot of ground at the rear of the Covent Garden Hotel. It was erected at a time when the improved quality of the performances attracted more visitors than could well bo accommodated in the music room. The garden, which during the last stage of its existence de generated into a receptacle for stunted and sooty shrubs, was famed for having been the property of the well-known Sir Kenelm Digby (1662). At a later period it contained a cottage in which the Kembles occasionally resided when in the full tide of their popularity at the neighbouring theatre. According to tradition it was in this cottage that their_talented daughter, Miss Fanny Keluble, wq,l Once ci Weck, :t.)L4)NIAL GOVERNMENT ECCRITIK.S.

ANOTHER FENIAN RISING. Mr. MONSELL said alarming information had been received within the last few minutes that an outrage by Fenians had taken place in Ireland. He wished to know if the Secretary for Ireland could state whether this was the fact or not ? Lord NAAS said the v;-1- y information the Government had received wascontained in the fol lowing telegram, which he would .read to the house : • "•Wires cut early in the night between Da')lin as 1 Cork, and between Dublin and Limecick ; later in the night between Dablin and Litu:rick ; up mails late. Engine despatched from Thurles to discover She came. Found lines blocked up, with sleepers and rails tam up. One mail Bout of Thurlee. All cononauicati wi h Cock, Limerick, and Dublin, therefore denied to as. We are ignorant as yet of what has t iken place there. Risings around Dublin from Drog heda to Dundrum generally, but not so extensive as the Fenians expected. In the dark. Impos sible to estimate numbers. Estimates vary from 1,000 to 4,000. No serious outrage on person or property. At Drogheda barracks attacked. As sailants driven off. Some shots, and some per sons taken. Police stations at Crumlin and liihnainham attacked without success. City emptied .of its troublesome class. Army., perfectly tranquil. Troops skilfully disposed. One or two men taken with Greek fire, as well as arne.and ammunition. Many now returning in twos and threes." The following telegram had also been received at the Admiralty from Commander Williams, Coast guard officer, at Youghal " Fenians attacked police station at Castle Martyr, twelve miles from here at 2.30, this morn ing. One man—an American L-said to be shot. Several troops gone to assist. Telegraph wires cut between this and Cork." He was certain that such dispositions of the mili tary had been made as would prove protective to the utmost throughout the country. The authorities had not been unmindful, andpreparations had been made to meet any emergency, (Hear, hear.) TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. Sir. COLERIDGE .noved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to abolish the religious tests now imposed upon all candidates for scholar and fellowships in Oxford University. Sir W. HEATIICOTE said he'should not oppose the motion for the second reading of the bill, but ho should reserve his right of objecting to certain portions of the measure in committee. _ The bill was then read a second time. The other orders of the day having been disposed of the house adjourned. POLICE IN TELLIGEACE.—:This Day. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. SERIOUS ASSAULT.—John Angus, a lad living in Smith's-court, Windmill-street, Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following assault on Mr. Ran dall Payne, bricklayer, of No. 2, Queen's-head-court, Windmill-street. _ _ Mr. Payne (whose head was ban lagod) said that on Tuesday night last he was much annoycd by a numb-;r of boys jumping and dancing on a cellar flap. He wont ou and requested them to go away, but they refused. He insisted on them going away, and on attempting to get one of them out of the court he attempted to kick him, and he then pushed the boy. While doing so the pri soner came up and struck him with something he had in his hand, two violent blows on the head. He was smothered with blood, and had to go to a medical man and have his wounds dressed. The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether at the time he struck him he was not engaged in knocking his (priso ner's) brother about. The prosecutor said he was not. The prisoner had a shark i , thstrument in his hand. Inspector Harrison said there had been daily complaints from the inhabitants of the nuisance they suffered front the boys in the court. ''" • ' ' The prosecutor handed Mr. Knox a certificate, signed by Mr. Harris, surgeon, of Windmill-street, to the effect that the prosecutor had received two incised wounds of the temple and face, and that the injuries might have been in stantly fatal. The prosecutor's—son tnnvea sntaa ire pfisoner Strike his father, the prisoner at the same time saying, " Take that, you --." Tin prisoner said he had no knife in his hand. • Luk;Jeffrey, 49 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody last night he said, " Would you not hare done the same thing if a man wits kuockingyour brother about ?" The prisoner said that ho saw the prosecutcr knocking his brother about, and lie struck hint to make him leave off. Thomas Angus, brother of the prisoner, said that the prosecutor knocked him about a good deal. Mr. Knox said he had no doubt the prisoner interfered on behalf of his brother, and if he had only struck the pro secutor with his fist there would have been little in the matter. The question was whether the prisoner used any instrument, 'and the medical certificate stated that the pro secutor had received two incised wounds, which might have been instantly fatal. The prisoner was not justified in using any instrument, and he might have been standing in the dock on another charge. He would remand the prisoner for a week, and the doctor could then attend. VEXATIOUS PROCEEDINGS AGAINST CAB PROPRIETORS.— Mr. Robert Norris, cab proprietor, of Black Horse-yard, Carburton-street, appeared yesterday to answer a summons for having a cab unfit for public use. Hackney Carriage Attendant Jones stated that he found the hinges of the cab door a little loose, and the bottom of the door broken. The Defendant stated that he was not aware there was anything the matter with the cab, he never having received notice from the authorities of the fact, which he was en titled to under the Act of Parliament. He considered the prisoner's case of a most frivolous nature. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he quite agreed with the defendant that the complaint was a trivial one. The defendant was certainly entitled to notice, and he should therefore dismiss the summons. Several other summonses were dismissed for a similar reason. THAMES. A GERMAN THIEF.—OarI Frederick, a German carpen ter, about forty years of age, was brtiught before Mr. Par tridge, charged with stealing a bed, 10 pairs of stocking., 24 linen chemises, six knife cloths, and other property, from the house of his brother, Auguste Frederick, Grove street, St. George-in-the East. It appeared, from the evidence of Wilhelmina Frede rick, the prosecutor's wife, that her brother-in-law had been in the practice of assisting there. Three weeks ago the bed was safe on the bedstead; the other things were in a box. After she had missed the property she saw the prisoner several times, and he promised to return the pro perty he had taken away. John Bowmann, a German shoemaker, said he purchased three pawutickets of the prisoner relating to-a timepiece; threw canvas bags, and a shirt... - • • • Henry Hayward, assistant to Mr. Fuller, a pawnbroker, said the prisoner pawned two teds and four pilloWs for £3, and that the prosecutrix was' with him when he pawned them.. Mr. Partridge asked the prosecutrix if she had lost two beds. Mrs. Frederick said she lost two beds, two pillows, and two bolsters, worth £lO. Hayward said the prisoner redeemed the bed, pillows, and bolsters by means of a false declaration made before a mag istrate after he had sold the duplicate. The prisoner said his sister-in-law allowed him. to pawn the beds, bolsters, and pillows, a nd lent him the money he raised upon the property. The prosecutrix admitted this to bo true, and said the prisoner gave her the ticket, and then made a declaration that he had lost, and went with another person and re deemed the property. Mr. Partridge—lt was stated a little while ago that he had sold the ticket. There is nodoubt he made a false decla ration, and there is no dunbthis sister-in-law allowed him to take some if net the whole of the property. The pri soner is discharged ; no jury would convict on this evi dence. Her Majesty the Queen has appointed half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday, at Buckingham Palace, to re ceive the address of congrattilation of the Corporation of the City of London, on the safe delivery of her Royal ITighness the Princess of Wales, and the birth of a Prin cess. The Lord Mayor, with the Recorder, the Sheriffs of London, and deputations from the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, including Mr. Stapleton, the chair man of the City - Lands Committee, and Alderman and Sheriff Waterlow, the mover and seconder of the address in the Court of Common Council, will first assemble at Guildhall, and proceed thence to Buckingham Palace in carriages. THE GREAT BULLION ROBBERY.—The perpetra tors of the great robbery of bullion, belonging to Baron Rothschild, from the Waterloo steamer, in the river Thames, still remain at large. A reward of £lOO has been offered by the General Steam Navigation Company, with an addition of 10 per cent. on the value, of any portion of the bullion recovered. The quantity of silver stolen was 10,0800 z., valued at £2,520. Each bar weighed net:ll2,- 841 b., and bore Baron Rothschild'a stamp, and were all numbered. The cases were marked U. 53 and R. 62, and not as previously reported, NOTES FitONl TRAINING QUARTERS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET.

This morning, however, Plaudit resumed good work, gal loping a mile and three-quarters steadily. As soon as the ground gets into order he will be sweated, as he is still very lusty, and the Two Thousand is drawing near. Newland is forward in condition, and to-day went nearly two miles at ball speed. Strathconan, Empress of Indi a , Violet, Rose, Begum, Moldavia, Geant des &tallies, Louisa, Proctor, and Orange Blossom severally did a mile and a quarter; but Hawkswell, Sunderland, Chelsea, and Polecat were only trotting.

Frost gallops e. mile and a quarter fast. Harrogate is going clipping, and so is Weather Star; both should be remembered fur the Chester Cup. Holstein, Mendicant, and Bracken, also engaged in the Roodee race, are in stronger work. The Priest and Tynedale look fresh and well, but have no chance for the big three year old events of the early part of the season. Arkenside is doing good work for Croxton Park. Windham, Audax, and East Lynn are in long, steady exercise. MALTON. Owing to the frost having affected the wolds so much Grand Cross and Taraban are trotting and cantering only; and nearly all our other nags are restricted to walking ex ercise. ILSLEY. The General is leading Achievement a mile and a quar ter, at a good steady pace. Brown Bread is now trotting and cantering. Dalby galldped a mile and three-quarters this morning, but he is very big, and, being overweighted, will not do for Chester. Buckfoot is more forward, and acco upauied Dalby in his gallops. Lord Lyon is taking D unsany a couple of miles. Gardevisure schools the two yr-olds belonging to Dover's team, of which The Laird is the best. The Celt has been thrown up for a time. FYFIELD. Adam Bede, Dulcimer, and Arcade have not been out this week; and the remaind.a of our lot are merely can tering. The frost, however, is breaking. LAMBOURNE. Marksman, Liddingtob, and the rest of Mr. Merry's team have been trotting only this week, in consequence of the frost; and most of Mr. Saxon's string have bees eased from the same reason. STOCKBRIDGR Redcap has got into work again, and is occasionally ex gaged in leading the young 'uns, but he is very infirm. Vauban, Distin, Seville, Ischia, and Red Riband gallop a mile and a half ; and John Davis, Lecturer, and Gomera nearly two miles. All are well. The Duke is walking, and Rose Cheri has also been eased. Pantaloon and Black Prince aro leading 2 yr-olds.
