The highest t ender was 7d. A striking constrast this to the prices cbarged to retail consumers. The plea that there is a great difference between wholesale and retail will not s uffice in this case, for the meat is supplied by two or three Plunds at a time—never more than three pounds—for Wh ich a ticket is given. These tickets are filed by the con tractor, who receives his money weekly. The printed f° roa of tender specifies that the meat is to be of the best quality, and an intimation is given that the guardiins will strictly enforce this condition. Comment is superfluous.

(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.) CLAYTON V. CLAYTON. This was a suit instituted by the wife to obtain a divorce, on the ground of her husband's cruelty and adultery. The Queen's Advocate, Mr. Stavely Hill, and Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Inderwick for the respondent. The Queen's Advocate, in opening the case, said that this was a somewhat peculiar suit, inasmuch as the parties had lived together before marriage, and had one child. It appeared that the conduct the laly had been such that she gained respect and consideration of the grandfather of the respondent, and he had induced the latter to marry the lady. They were married in 1860, and although they hAd lived most happily together be fore marriage, yet afterwards, by soMe dispensation, the respondent began to prac,ise great cruelty to wards his wife, especially after the death of the grandfather, which event occurred in 1863, he leaving to his grandson, the respondent, the whole of his property. There would be no doubt on his lordship'S mind, he well knew, when his lordship heard the evidence, that the death of the grand- !ather had effected a great change in the feelings of the husband. The marriage having been provtd, Elizabeth Clayton said that she was married on the 13th October, 1860, to Mr. Clayton. She had been living with him previously, as his wife, and there was a child born to them. She married in the presence of petitioner's grandfather. The peti tioner began to behave unkindly to her in the summer of 1861. They were living at Malvern Villa, Hampton Wick when they went for a boat excursion on the water, and after they had lunched the gentlemen began to throw the bottles over-board, and when they came to the mus tard-pot they broke the blade of the Oar, and were obliged to tow the boat. While Mr. Shanks, one of them, was doing so respondent took her by the throat, and said if it were not for Mr. Shanks he would murder her. In May of the next year he behaved unkindly to her, because she remonstrated with him for taking a lady out riding. In 1863 Mr. Clayton's grandfather died. After this he behaved very unkindly to her. In the following year they were staying in Bedford street, Covent-garden, when, after they bad re turned home from a dinner, he went down to the kitchen, and as she followed him he said she was listening, and seized her 'by the throat and pushed her against the wall, and then cut her lip open and gave her a black eye. A - few weeks after they went to Bedford-street, Covent Garden, again ; and as Mrs. Wale, the landlady of the house, had gone to Hampton Wick and the respondent had gone to Mr. Shanks, she did not know what to do, so she went to Mr. Shanks, and respondent kept her waiting till 10 o'clock at night, and they walked through the park as she thought towards the station, but when they came to the Marble Arch her husband left. In the same year of 1866 they went to Brighton, and in the beginning of June her husband gave her £6O to last her till the end of July, and said he was going away, but should be back, but he never came back, and this petition was then filed. Mrs. Wale, the landlady of the house in Bedford street, confirmed this statement, and said that she had been a servant to the grandfather of Mr. Clay ton, and had left when the old gentleman died. Evidence was then given to prove that Mr Clayton had lived adulterously at the Sussex Hotel, Cliftonville, under the name of Clark. As there was no rebutting evidence, the Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. - 1, -- BOW-STREET. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERY OF DEEDS, Ebenezer Jones, giving the address, 23, Shrub land-road, Wilder, was charged with uttering a title deed, well knowing it to have been false and forged. Mr. Fellows, who appeared for the prosecution, - - - said there were a number of charges against the prisoner, but it was only proposed to enter into one of them on the present occasion. The charge against the prisoner was that of obtaining money upon a deed, upon which it seemed that a number of copies had been made, each being used as a deposit for a loan obtained from different persons. I« the present charge the deed was used for the purpose of raising a loan of £72, which was in progress, and £2O of which had been advanced, when information was received which led Mr. Low, an auctioneer carrying on business in Southampton-street, Strand, to make inquiry. On the occasion of the last inter view between Mr. Low and the prisoner, the latter seemed to have a suspicion that all was not going on right, which was in reality the case, as Sergeant Ackrill of the F division of police was then concealed in an adjoining room. The prisoner suddenly started out of the office and ran down Maiden-lane pursued by the officer, but after a very exciting chase through a number of courts running from that thoroughfare into the Strand he was captured and taken to the station house. Mr. Robert Low said the prisoner on the Ist of May called on him, bringing with him a deed pur porting to be a deed for the conveyance of cer tain land at Burnham, in Essex, from a Mr. Percival to the prisoner for a consideration of £lOO. Ile asked for the loan of £7O on the security of the freehold, and said, to prove that it belonged to him, he had granted a lease to a person now in possession. He objected to any in quiries being made there on the ground of the ex pense it would cause as the property was some dis tance from a railway station, but gave the names and addresses of two persons who were willing to join in an acceptance as collateral security. The prisoner called again on the 4th of May, but not having had time to make the inquiries, it was agreed that the prisoner should have £2O iu the in terim. On inquiry they were not sufficiently em powered to advance the remainder of the £72 re quired. The prisoner gave another name, and ftimeorin a w t iaos ta w k a e s n for further ther ia in c q o u n i s r e y q . mAncfeterofthlisvhiinch ppi Sergeant ontni etetkmrealldewaats whicholnul uhneilevaats present o an a concealed. Before any communic a ti on was , made, ' the prisoner made an excuse to leave the room, and then ran away, but was brought back by th e po li ce _ officer. Benjamin Marsland, of 77, Lower Thames -street, solicitor, said he knew the prisoner. He first be came acquainted with him by his bringing hi m a deed relating to some property at Burnham, i n Essex, on the 4th of October last year. lie asked for the loan of £4O on the deed, which he witness gave him. He also took prisoner's acceptance for the amount at six weeks, which Was honoured, and on his making inquiry relative to the attesting witness, Thomas S. Reyn o ld s, at 95, Fleet-street, nothing was kn own of such a person. The advance he made remained unpaid. He' was not known at the ad dress he gave, Charlotte-street, Islington. He had never seen prisoner from the time he lent him the money until last evening, when he was in custody. Mr. Vaughan asked witness whether he had made inquiry as to the attesting witness residing at the address given when the dee d was drawn. The witness said he had not thought of doing so. Mr. Abrams, who defended the prisoner, said Reynolds at the time referrel to was landlord of the premises in Fleet-street, which was a public-house. He should like to know whether there was sufficient evidence to prove the forgery. Mr. Vaughan said as the property conveyed by both deeds was identically the same, it fairly raised the presumption of fraud, and therefore he should remand the prisoner for a week for further inquiry. Mr. Abrams applied that the prisoner might be admitted to bail. Mr. Vaughan said he would accept two sureties in £lOO each for his appearance that day week. Al A RLBORO UG II- STREET. Dzsavrinr FRQI A REFORUATORY Holland, a boy, was charged before Ai r ..r. Knox with being a deserter from the reformatorj ship Corn wall, lying off Purfleet. Police-constable Lobb, 73 C, said: -that about three o'olock that morning he saw the prisoner in Avery-row, Bond-street, and noticing ti ►at he had uniform trousers on, he asked him who a nd what he was. Not being satisfied with his am tat ers he took him to his father's, and the father to' .d him that he belonged to the ship Cornwall. The father said his son had absco' ided from the ship Cornwall on Thursday afternc on, the boat swain communicating that fact to 1 Lim 3cstcrday. He very much regretted what his sor c bad done, as great trust had been placed in him by the officers of the ship, he having been appoint xi the captain's cabin-boy, and being allowed to g, on shore to fetch things, and he had now betrayer 1 his trust. h consequence of its being reported tb at when visit ' ing his son a few d ►ys ago he had;given him 125., whereas he had only given him 6d., he intended to go to the ship and see Captain Bt .rton, and ex plain the matter, the more particub .rly so, as be lieving his son was going to have a :holiday to visit him, he left a few articles of clothing for him to put on, his son telling him that one oE the officers of the ship would take care of them, and which he had put on after leaving the ship. Mr. Knox said it was to be regretted that the boy had acted as he had done, as a Inder man than Captain Burton did not exist, and -the boy had in- jured his prospects. The father said he would like iE his boy was sent back to the ship, to go with the officer and explain the matter. Mr. Knox said he had not the rower to send the boy back without some punishment, but under the circumstances he would make the punishment as light as be could. The boy would be committed for seven days to the house of Correction, and at the conclusion of that time would be sent back to the ship. TILE RE. F•om the London Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. The decision of the House of Commons against Mr. Laing's motion to give a third member to each of six large towns has caused much dissatisfaction in various qnaliers, and a new agitation is about to be organised not only to revise the vote, but to set aside ; the whole of the portion of the Ministerial bill which relates to redistribution. Mr. Scholefield, it is said, has undertaken to move that an additional member be given to Liverpool, Man chester, Birmingham, and Leedzi, on the ground that each of these great centres of industry contain more than 200,000 inhabitants. Ile omits, how ever, all niention of the equally large, and, as re gards rateable property, more opulent, metropolitan boroughs ; and thus inevitably provokei the jea lousy of those great constituencieA. Perhaps the only scheme which could have a cha'ice of allaying those sectional and local jealousies would be one which evenly offered increased representation to Liverpool and Marylebonc, Manchester and West minster. But the prejudice against the increase of metropolitan representation is strong, and it is very doubtful whether even such a scheme would command a dechive majority of the House. Public meetings are about to be held for the pur pose of urging not only the change I have spoken of, but an entire re-casting of the redistribution part of the Reform Bill. The one-sided complexion of the Boundary Commission is producing-a very uncomfortable feeling amongst men of all parties, and it is certain to lead to angry discussions when the names are submitted seriatim for the approval of the House of Commons ; not that any doubt the respectability of the individuals, but that it is na turally felt to be a needless strain on public confi dence to constitute thus partially the tribunal by whose judgment the future political map of the country will be framed. The same ill luck appears to attend Ministers whenever they proceed to the appointment,of Com whether it be in Church or State. The dissatisfaction felt so widely with respect to the composition of the Ritualist Commission broke out a little last night in the House of Lords. But from what I hear it is likely to find vent in a very differ ent form than in the speeches of ex-Whig ministers. The refusal of the Archbishop of York to act on the Commission, and of the Bishop of Oxford to pair off with Lord Shaftesbury, as the latter proposed in a letter to Lord - Derby, have contributed greatly to stimulate the distrust and discontent. As soon as Parliament is up, I fear that you will see the be ginning of a religious agitation that will occupy men's minds during the autumn and winter. No two graver mistakes could be made by the Govern ment than that of launching two commissions of so much importance, with prejudice enlisted against heir proceedings, and suspicion overhanging all hat they may do in the minds of a great portion of :he community. ►H BILL. Improvements on Smith's Sunday Liquor Bill. (From Punch.) Mr. Punch,—Pray, Sir, use your irresistible in fluence to make honourable gentlemen attend in the House of Commons on Wednesday, the 26th inst., for the purpose of moving an amendment to Mr. J. A: Smith's Sunday Liquor Bill. This much-called-for measure, which will consti tute so precious a boon to thirsty travellers, is framed so as " to prohibit drinking on the premises of the licensed victualler during the whole of Sun day, excepting where meat, confectionery, or other victuals arc sold." Thus you see, Sir, this bill recogni:es as legal the sale of confectionery. Beer, sir, we know, is a very bad thing for every body, even in moderation, especially on Sundays. But confectionery is equally bad. Pastry and sweetmeats are extremely unwholesome, and judi cious parents never allow their children to eat any. The principle a bill designed to prevent naughty peopti from Luying beer on Sund tys is one which, corc.istently applied, would also prevent them from buying t•irt , 7 and buns, and goody goodies. So, therefore, Mr. Punch, please to instruct your representatives to move the omission of the word " eonfeetionery" in the clause above quoted ; for confectionery is very pernicious on any day, but, as aforesaid, especially on Sundays, like beer. Allow me to suggest another hint for the improve men of the endeavour at paternal legislation pro posed by Mr. J. A. Smith. The Sunday Liquor Bill of the sapient and Sabbatarian member for Chichester, I think, imposes penalties only on the wicked licensed victuallers who shall be guilty of selling liquor on Sundays. It provides no punish ment for their naughty customers. Cause your Parliamentary party, sir, to supply that omis sion by an additional clause, providing for the due chastisement of those last-named offenders. The chastisement proper for the correction of those . _ transgressors is obvious:-. To Perfect a bill designed to treat groWn-up persons' like children, mike your delegates insist on the insertion, in the one which Mr. J. A. Smith has devised in the spirit of a pedagogue for that pur pose, of a clause subjecting every man convicted of h a ving bought liquor on a Sunday to the discipline of the rod as adMinistered to youth. To wean adult Englishmen from indulgence in exhilarating beverages, and teach thein to observe Sunday like pupils at a Sunday-school, there is nothing like the I application of TICKLETOBY. P.S:— As Mr. Smith's Sunday Liquor Bill stands, apparently, it will allow any publican to sell beer on Sundays if he also sells lollipops. THE CZAR AT LARIBOISIERE. The Hopital Lariboisiere has been especially favoured by the august personages who have lately been gathering in Paris. . The French are peculiarly proud of this hospital, which, notwith standing some deficiencies of ventilation, &c., certainly presents a most pleasing appearance, and contains many points of interest. It can easily be conceived that this extensive newly-built edifice, with its beautifully stuccoed walls, fine dispositions, and neat interior arrangements, has been con sidered better worthy of the visit of such high per sonages than the other hospitals of Paris, and even the Hotel Dieu. The black walls and almost gloomy appearance of this venerable fabric might disagree ably affect the eye of the more casual visitor, to whom the interest which attaches to its legendary history and its sanitary arrangements would scarcely be a compensation. In addition to the Crown Princess of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia has favoured Lariboisiere with a visit before leav- . • mg Paris. Accompanied by the Czarewitch, and by his military household, he examined the hos pital in all its details, and paid particular attteution to the ventilation department, which is very exten - sive and interesting. The Moniteur mentions that the Grand Duke to•)k a peculiar interest in this in quiry, and even tasted of the food and wine pro vided for the patients. M. Hasson, the director o the Assistance Publique, was present, and on this occasion received from the Czar the insignia of Grand Officer of the Order of Stanislas. The Em peror has left lirge sums of money to be distributed tothe - poor in Paris:— The Lanc-et.- - - Tn ACT ON THE SHEFFIELD OUTRAGES. — The act under which the inquiry at Sheffield is now taking place was passed on the sth April last, and it recites that it would be " to the advantage; and satisfaction of the workmen and employers" if a searching inquiry was made at that town. The inquiry is limited to matters within 10 years, without the written sanction of the Secretary of State, obtained on the written request of the chairman of the commission. The section as to indemnity to wit- nesses declares that any witness under the act who in the opinion of the person or persons conducting the inquiry " makes a full and true disclosure" touching the matter on which ho is examined shall have a certificate, which is to be a protection against any civil or criminal proceeding. False evidence in an inquiry to be liable to the penalties of perjury. The expenses of the witnesses aro to be al lowed by the Treasu' y. WEDNESDAY'S GREAT MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE:—We may well be excused for directing the attention of our readers to the Great Musical Festival to be held on Wednesday next, June 26th, in aid of the restoration of that portion of the Crystal Palace so lamentably destroyed by fire. The restoration of the tro pical department to its pristine beauty is, we feel, of almost personal interest to every one of us, and is altogether re moved from the ordinary and limited interest with which the restoration of other places of amusement would be re garded. The Crystal Palace, as the home of music and the fine arts, stands alone, and in its appeals to the most cultivated feelings of the nation deserves to be supported. That tumblers, acrobats, and pantomimes aro necessary as a means of drawing the "enlightened" masses need not depreciate the more serious attractions which the Palace lavishly provides its visitors. Such an extraordinary array of varied musical talent has not been assembled since the opening of the Crystal Palace on the 10th of June, 1854, in the presence of Her Most Gracious Majesty. Very dis tinguished pa t ron age has been accorded to the Festival by her Majesty, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Mary, &c.—Musical Standard. NATIONAL HOSPITAL FOR THE PARALYSED AND EPILEPTIC.—The grand fete and fancy sale, held during the past week, at the Hanover-square Rooms, in aid of this invaluable charity, has proved a great success. The rooms were crowded with the elite of the nobility and gentry. Stalls were presided over by Lady Edward Cavendish, Mrs. Stephen Ralli, the Misses Cusps, Mrs. Octavius Phillips, Mrs. Chas. Lamb Kenney, Miss Smyth, and Mrs. Bernand. The stalls of the Ladies Committee of the Hospital, through whose indefatigable labours the f e te was organised, were sumptuously arrayed with every con ceivAble article of taste aud beauty, and bore tho tvinesof the kind-hearted president, the Marchioness of •Thcm3ond, Lady Taunton, Mrs. R. C. and the Misses Barton, Mrs. Braidwood, Mrs. Thomas Laroche, Miss Neale, Miss M. L. Parker, Mrs. Radcliffe, Mrs. Russell Reynolds, and Miss Williams. Miss Chandler and Miss Bevingtondwi held the the p a tients' stall, Miss Radcliffe arid Mrs. R. Harck refreshment stall. The lower hall was devoted to a very interesting and novel entertainment, which was highly appreciated and patronised, and consisted of a wonderful troupe of "learned dogs." It is almost impossible to describe their really clever antics. Great credit must be duo to their pratty mistress, Madllo. Gertruse, for her patience and perseverance in the education of these amusing specimens of animal saga city. The Piccaninny Christy Ministrels were most voci ferously applauded in their Ethiopian entertainment. During the intervals of the performance the Piccaninnies rendered most effective aid to the ladies in the disposal of their valuable articles. We trust the pecuniary result of the sale will at no distant poriod enable the committee of the hospital to open all the unoccupied ward. REMARKABLE DISCOVVRY OF A STONE COFFIN AND SKELETON.—On Wednesday as some labou rers wore em ployed in ballasting on the works of the North London Railway, near the new station at Old Ford, they came upon a largo stone coffin, which lay some two and a half foot from the surface of Ow ground. After clearing away the earth from round it, the lid was raised, and tee ffi the con was found to contain a perfect skeleton, the th being in a good state of preservation. On being exposed to the air, however, the rib bones fell in, and other portions of the frame slightly parted. The coffin is about 7ft. in length, and 2ft. 4in. in width. A number of old coins and urns have also beon turned up in the course of the excavations about the railway. Some two or three years since another stone coffin was discovered in the upper part of Old Ford. The coffin has been removed to a neighbouring hut by the side of the line. HERRING FISHING IN THE NORTH SEA.—Large fleets of decked boats are now employed from the Tyne, Hartlepool, and the Wear in the herring fishery in the North Sea. The takes have been very good, but the fish have only been moderate in quality. They are improving this week. Prices have bun low, not exceeding 2s. per 10(1. The fish, however, were selling iu the Tyne on Tuesday at an advance of from 2s. 10d. to 3s. 3d. per 100. A Sceue. The Figaro has the following : —" A topic of con versation in the Legislative Body is a scene which took place a few days back at the Lyons railway station between M. Bravay, deputy for the Gard, and M. Anatole Duruy (Albert, we have heard), son of the Minister of Public Instruction. The former, who is a friend of the Viceroy of Egypt, to whom he chiefly owes his fortune, was to go to meet his Highness at Marseilles, and intended to take the-fast train which leaves at a quarter to eight, but at the moment he arrived at the station the signal was given and the train was moving from the platform. M. Bravay applied to M. Portales, the station-master, to be allowed to pass, stating his name and position. The latter, however, remained inflexible. He might have replied, ' Not if you were the petit corporalhimself.' lie, however, simply quoted the rculations, and politely requested M. Bravay to wait for the next train, which was to start a quarter of an hour later. M. Duruy then tmilcd and tcok the arm of M. Portales, but M. Bravay rushed upon the former and struck hint a violent blow, which stunned him for the moment. On M. Duruy recovering himself he attempted to return the blow, but was attacked by M. Bravay and a friend of the latter. The antagonists= were separated just as the train was about to start. M. Bravay. got..into a compartment with a friend. M. Duruy followed him to obtain an explana tion, but could get no satisfaction and alighted at the next station. He waited at Paris the return of his aggressor and sent to him two friends. M. Bravay refused to grant the repara tion demanded. What was to be done ? M. Duruy decided on writing to M. Bravay, that if ho re fused to fight, he should be forced to apply to the Chamber for authorisation to prosecute him for an assault. The blow of M. Bravay left a deep blue mark on M. Duruy's face. The deputy for the Gard has not replied to the menace of a pro secution, and M. Duruy will probably be reduced to the extremity of appealing to the tribunals." M. Bravay now writes to declare that the ac count so given is entirely erroneous. After some preliminary observations on the exceed ingly unfavourable character of the above ac count, he goes on to give the following ver sion of the incident in a letter addressed to M. Albert Duruy :—" I was in the Lyons station on the evening in question, provided with my ticket, and was signing a paper for my brother when my servant came to say that the signal of departure had been rung. I hurried up, but the train was already in movement, and I found the station -master in conversation with you. I remarked to him that the signal had been given one minute before the regular hour. I was exceedingly annoyed—somewhat agi tated—and consequently I probably used too much vivacity in my manner and language. I then mentioned my name and asked to have a loco motive placed at my disposal, of course on pay ing for it. On my making my request you began to laugh and shrugged up your shoulders. I asked the meaning of such conduct, which I naturally looked on as offensive. You then cried out, Ah !M. Bravay, Deputy Every one knows who that is ! His story is a nice one ! Every man of spirit will comprehend that I could not suppress my indignation, and so I gave you a slap in the face. You then exclaimed,' I shall call you out fur this. I am M. Albert Duruy, son of the Minister.' lam sorry for the Minister, your father,' I replied. The moment I return to Paris I will place myself at your orders.; even, if necessary, I will notleave at all:. TWo minutes paSsed, during which you never ceased' to abuse me. I:was going to withdraw when you rushed forward and struck me. My servant interfered and repelled your aggression as it merited ; and if you bear the mark, I am sorry, but you must thank yourself for it. I afterwards found you at Dijon, at the station, and there you asked for satisfaction. The place was ill chosen. I however replied that I should be in Paris in a few days, but that if, at one moment, I tad placed myself at yo ur orders, the same could not be the case when you had de cided to give yourself a revenge unworthy of a man of honour, an d after my offer of satisfaction. In presence of these facts, the exactitude of which could be proved if you contested them, I am astonished that you invert the facts and endeavour to make me the provoker. My age and my posi tion interdict ins accepting, with respect to you, .a pOsition so contrary to the truth. You ask me for a reparation by arms, or before a Court of law— you shall have both one and the other—but as I have excellent reasons for bearing calumny infi nitely more than a combat, you will not be sur prised that I do not follow' you on the ground until I leave the Court of law, that is to say, not until a judicial investigation shall have established clearly the faults on both sides. • BOY DROWNED IN TUE SURREY CANAL.—On Thursday an inquest was held in Naate-street, Camber well, on the body of George Marshall, aged 12 years. On Monday tko deceased fell into the Surrey Canal while . playing on the swing bridge near Trafalgar-road, Nckhain. A. verdict of Accidental Death was returned. DUBLIN, Friday Evening. Mr. Stephen J. Meaney, convicted of treason-felony, was brought up for judgment to-day in Green-street. He delivered a long and elaborate speech to show why sentence should not be passed upon him. Mr. Justice O'Hagan said the sentence he should pronounce was fixed by the judges who tried the prisoner. It was renal servitude for 15 years. WESTMINSTER. A PROPER SENTENCE.—MichaeI Kelly, a young man, well known to the police as a thief, was charged, before Mr. Selfe, with stealing a silk hand kerchief from the person of Mr. George Adam, a shipowner of Greenock, but staying at the West minster Palace Hotel. Mr. Adam said that at 10 o'clock that morning he left the hotel, and was proceeding across the Broad Sanctuary, when his attention was directed to an omnibus driver, who halloed to him, " They have got your handkerchief." He immediately missed his handkerchief from his coat-tail pocket. He saw the prisoner running away, pursued by a constable. The value of the handkerchief was six shillings. A constable of the A division said the prisoner ran away and threw the handkerchief down. He pursued him, and the prisoner, seeing a superinten dent of police coming, was forced to run in a gate way whence there was 'no escape. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and elected to be tried by the magistrate. He said he had tried hard to get an honest living, but had yielded to the sudden temptation. Mr. Selfe said robberies of this kind were only committed by expert and professional thieves, and were it not that Mr. Adam's home was 400 miles away, he would send the prisoner for trial. tie then sentenced him to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THAMES. STRANGE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—John Hedges, aged 52, of No. 38, Robin Hood-lane, Poplar, greengrocer, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged with attempting to commit self destruction. A few days since the prisoner went into his stable, threw a rope over a beam, made a noose,whicli he put round his neck, and kicked away a box on which he was standing. He remained suspended to the beam and was nearly strangled, when his wife discovered him, ralied au alarm, and he was cut down. It appeared that losses in busi ness and domestic quarrels preyed on his mind and caused him to make the attempt on his life. He ltrd been in prison a week and a favourable report of him was made by the chaplain of the House of Detention, and Mr. Paget allowed him to be dis charged. ROBBERY ON TILE ROAD.—Mark Tarbuck, a strange uncouth lad, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a rug, valued at two guineas. At 12 p.m., on the 15th inst., a policeman saw the priso ner and another lad running after a cart and take from it a large rug. The constable seized the pri soner and secured the rug, which the owner did not miss until he reached home. _ _ It was proved that the prisoner had been previ ously convicted of felony. The Prisoner—l wish to know if I shall be sent to school. I want to learn something good. It is not because I was once a thief I am one now. Committed for trial. MARKETS.--This day. COVENT GARDEN.
