MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The holiday season now being in full force, busi ness in the City may be said to be in a state of stag nation. Little of importance is passing in the Dis count Market, at the Stock Exchange, in Mincing lane, or at the public sales of colonial wool. Gold to the amount of £16,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. the public sales of colonial wool have been well attended during the last few days, and foreign dealers have operated more freely, the rates realised being equal to those established at the commencement of the series. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has continued in active. Few dealings of importance have taken place in sugar, and in some instances prices aro a shade flatter. The public sales of China tea have progressed with some animation, and prices gener ally have been well maintained. Superior qualities of Colonial Coffee have been in fair request at full rates; while in rice, fruit, and spices there has been no material change. Tallow has remained at steady rates for both present and forward deli very. The return from the Bank of England for the Week ending the 21st August gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Rest £3,399 934 ... Decrease £ 4 , 107 Public deposit; 6526,514 Increase 1,018,476 Other dep os it s 19,468,415 7 ... Decrease 479,008 On the other side of the account : Government securities £12,812,373 No change. Other sec ur i t i es 17,052,659 .., Increase 328,810 Notes unemployed 13,426,420 Increase 251,880 The amount of notes in circulation is £23,931,890, being a decrease of £181,380 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £23,532,661, showing au increase of £41,148 when compared with the preceding return. As the sum of £85,000 from abrDad was sent in during the week, it thus ap pears that there has been an increased demand for coin for internal circulation, consequent, doubtless, on the harvest operations. Subjoined is a comparison of the present position of the Bank of England and the price of Consols with the corresponding week of last year : Same week At present. last year. flank bullion £23,532,661 £14,772,220 Notes in reserve::: 14,600,771 6,590,105 Notes in circulation ... 23,931,890 24,182,115 'late of discount ... 2 per cent. 7 per cent.

A decrease has taken place in the bills discounted of £246,000, in the notes of £360,000, and in the advances of £13,320. Two o'CLocE.

Speculation in the Stock Exchange to-day has been very much curtailed, and it is almost impos sible to conceive a greater degree of quietude than that now prevailing. Amidst so much in activity it is surprising to witness so much firm ness in the quotations, even for those classes of Property which for months past have been so un ix)Pular. Consols for money improved 4, to 941 4 ; and for the account are 94; 4. The New Threes are marked 944 4 ; and the Re duced Annuities, 944 4 ; Exchequer Bills have unproved to 30s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., to 113 4 1134 ; do. 4 per Cent.

Some of the latest quotations are as follows :__ltalian 5 per Cents., 484 4 ; Spanish Passive, 20/ 1 ; Turkish 5 per Cents., 314 1, being a declin e of / on the two former, and an advance of on the latter.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain steady, at 23 25 ; but the Consoli dated Mortgage Bonds have declined 4, to 204 214.

Samuel Partridge, Alfred Bailey, Peter Sherrocks, William Glenden, Zolu Morris, Robert Knox, Ed ward Ormerod, Alfred Shermer, Thomas Geary, Thomas Flood, Christopher Winterton, Robert Druler, George Templing, Robert Newbury,Edwari Stokes, Drewett, Adamson, and Lawrence surren dered for judgment upon the indictment of unlaw fully conspiring together to injure and impoverish Henry George Poole and others in their trade as tailors, of which they had been found guilty. Mr. Poland, on the part of Drewett, Adamson, and Lawrence, handed in an affidavit, stating that they were not responsible for what the other defen dants had done. An undertaking had been given by them on the last occasion that they would not as sent to a renewal of the picketing system, and to that agreement they had adhered. They had endeavoured to disuade in the most earnest manner possible from a renewal of the practice, but without success. Mr. Ribton, on the part of the other defendants, said he had to inform the court that from what had transpired at the trial they had determined to dis continue the picketing system, as it had been said the law did not sanction such a proceeding, although they still entertained the conviction that they had not so conducted the practice as to bring them within the scope of the law. But feeling that the practice could not be continued without leading to an infringement of the law as it had been laid down at the trial, they had come to the con clusion, notwithstanding the opinion they still en tertained, of discontinuing the practice, and they were ready to give au undertaking to that affect, and to bow to the decision of the jury, which had been pronounced adverse to them. The learned Judge said, before he passed sen tence, he would consult the Recorder, and quitted the bench for that purpose, and on his return he said the defendants had all been found guilty, and it now became his duty so pass sentence on them, the result of their proceedings. Before doing so he asked them to listen to a few observations he should make, and as they came from a perfectly disinte rested man—one who was neither an employer of labour nor a receiver of wages—he hoped they would not allow them to fall unheeded on the ground. The jury had found a verdict against them, and there could be no doubt it was a true verdict, as the law was decidedly against them, and so was also reason and justice. What right, he would ask them, had they to put a coercion on their fellow workmen as how they should dispose of their labour? From what had transpired in another part of the country, the men at Sheffield supposed they had a right to do so, and some such notion appeared to have taken hold of certain people in London, and the terms dishonourable workmen and dishonourable masters had now become words of frequent occurrence. What right, he would ask them, had they to call upon either this or that man to cast his labour into a common stock. Such a notion was wrong, quite wrong. If the journey men tailors had a right to band themselves together to procure a change, so also had shoemakers, car penters, argricultural labourers, and all other em ployments ; and by a parity of reasoning the same right - would extend to the masters for the same purpose, and he would ask them as reasonable men whether they thought that such a proceeding would be for the benefit of the public at large? He would at once say he did not think they could entertain the opinion. Every man had the right to be left free and unfettered in the disposition of his labour ; and they, as men of judgment, must be aware of that. For more than forty years men who they most admired had been engaged in re moving restrictions in trade, and at present there was no law which gave one set of men an advan tage over another, but they (the defendants) ap peared to him to be attempting to legislate in a different direction. Instead of admitting the free dom of action and the freedom of capital, they were attempting to make laws in the opposite direction. Take my word for it—you may not put much value on it, but he spoke for their benefit and well-being—that such a course was utterly and entirely wrong. They could not find one single public man, not one staunch and true friend of the working, classes, not a single public writer or man of known character and influ ence who could justify the course they had adopted. He had considered the matter well, and he had also consulted the Recorder and Alderman, and the con clusion he had come to was that they had done wrong, but doubtless they had thought they were only acting as fair men. But fair men did wrong from entertaining an erroneous view of what was just, and this was what each of them had done. They have acted in ignorance of the law, but that could not be taken as an excuse, yet it might be a circumstance that might lighten sentence. Acting on that belief he should not sentence them to im prisonment. Ile would take their words as honest and honourable men that they would not repeat the conduct that had brought them into this court, with the exception of Knox. He had been guilty of conduct that had been condemned by the counsel retained for their defence, and he hoped that the stinging reproaches of the learned gentleman would have the desired effect. He should, therefore, order them to enter into their own rccognisances to come up for judgment when called upon, with the exception of Knox, and him he should sentence to three months' imprisonment. The defendants all bowed respectively to the learned judge, and having entered the required re cognisances, were liberated. The action against the Duke of Rutland and others, for an allegod malicious prosecution, which has occupied Judge Pigott and a special jury since Monday, was concluded yesterday at the Leeds assizes, and resulted in fauttr 471 tIIQ CligeAdAllte.

General Frederick Johnston was driven from the Euston-square railway station to the Albany, for which distance the cabman was alleged to have charged 6d. more than he was entitled to. The magistrate decided that the cabman had charged the proper fare. The defendant said he had been put to much ex pense and trouble in having the ground measured, and hoped he would get compensation. The General said he had only the defendant's own word about the expense and trouble, and withdrew. The magistrate—to the great satisfaction of all in court—kindly ordered the cabman to receive ss. from the poor-box. COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

After having put on board two bot tles of wino and a can of biscuits, Mr. Bowker paddled out of Ambleteuse at 6.45 a.m., and came in view of the English coast, after running some 14 miles west of Cape Grisnez, having lost sight of land only about quarter of an hour. About 10 miles from his destination he was hailed by the South-Eastern steam packet, the captain of which vessel pointed out the route, Mr. Bowk ‘r having unfortunately lost his chart and found his compass would not act. He saw during his voyage several shoals of porpoises, one of these monsters rising within a few feet of the bow of the boat. Ho reached Dover at 5.44 p.m., after paddling (with the ex ception of 30 minutes rest) about 11 hours, his arrival causing no little excitement among the promenaders on the beach. The Octoroon is 16ft. long, 23in. wide, and Biu. deep, unquestionably the smallest boat which has ever crossed the channel. The weather was fine, but the sea net Trith9Ut 01111 iu §9/AQ PlaGQ§ , Wiudi THE SUN, LONDON. FEWAY EYEANING AUGUST 23, 1867. Kennington. LATEST PARTICULARS-(DIIS DAY). This morning at an early hour numbers of persons visited the house, No. 51, Chester-street, Lower Kenning ton-lane, for the purpose of trying to get a look at the I rooms where Mrs. Anne Roberts, aged 40 years, murdered her two children, Anne, aged nine, and Frederick, aged seven, yesterday afternoon. The would-be sightseers were disappointed, for strict orders have been given by the police to admit no one whatever into the rooms until Mr. Coroner Carter opens the inquest. For some hours afterwards the street in front of the house presented a very animated appearance. The crowd divided into small groups, and every item of intelligence was eagerly sought after and received, but it is needless to say that information given to the people under those circumstances was not of the most reliable character, for the individual who knew, or pretended to know, most of the details connected with the horrible tragedy gained the largest and most atten tive audiences. Stories of the most improbable character of the previous life of the unfortunate victims and their wretched mother were told with a circumstantiality of detail that was positively amazing. During the narrative of ono of these stories, an inmate of the house was seen to come to the door, and seeing the crowd outside that party was observed to shed tears, and the police at once ordered the crowd to disperse, and informed her that they could see nothing, and that by remaining in groups outside they were only wounding the feelings of Mr. Roberts, who was then in the house. The crowd behaved with great decorum, and moved a short distance, but only to return. As it was stated that the mother had been seen chasing her son Charles, aged 12, round the front garden with a knife in her hand, the front flower garden where the horrible chase took place was much looked at, but as the flowershad been uninjured, there was nothing to in dicate that the son had such a narrow escape of losing his life in that place. It is stated by a neighbour that when the mother, who was intent upon committing a third murder, found her son leaping over some flowers, and getting out of her way by taking a bound over the fence, she threw the knife, which she had in her right hand, after him, and it narrowly missed striking him in the back. About half-past nine o'clock this morning that boy was in so weak a condition from the shock which his nervous system had received, that when he was leaving a neighbour's house to walk throagh the crowd in Chester-street he had to be sup ported as he proceeded down the street. He is a very in telligent-looking lad, but to-day he was very pale, and looked like a person who had suddenly awoke up out "of a horrid dream. His mother yes terday afternoon, ;when she caught hold of him by. the shirt, which fortunately, tore, said, "You are very unwell." She then tried toplunge the knife into his abdomen. The boy struggled, his clothes tore, and he eluded her grasp a second time, and then the race between the mother and the son took place. It is stated that Mrs. Roberts has for some time past been brooding over some imag inar y wrong. The alleged wrong is stated, but as there are the feelings of another party still livi n g to be taken into consideration it would be most unfair to state it at pre sent. We are informed that the conduct of the deceased woman did not give rise to uneasiness in her husband's mind, but she was morbidly jealous of him. The mother of the wretched woman died raving mad. We have been informed that some person told the deceased of the circumstances of an occurrence, which that busy-body alleged had taken place a week before, and the relation of that story no doubt either totally un founded in part, or partly exaggerated, preyed upon the deceased's mind, and she gradually worked herself up into a state of madness. The crime, it is now thought, was premeditated, for the murderess waited until all the lodgers in the house had left before she killed her two children, or sent for her son Charles. The Tragedy at Limehouee. Yesterday John Wiggins, a lighterman, who is charged with the double offence of murdering a woman named Agnes Oakes, with whom he co habited, and with attempting to commit suicide by cutting his own throat, was brought before Mr. Paget at the Thames Police-court for the fourth time. Mr. Charles Young again defended the prisoner, and some time before the case was called on the Magistrate, addressing Mr. Young, said he had thought that an important case like this should not be left to chance ; he had therefore written to the Home Office, and recommended that a professional gentleman should be retained to conduct the prosecution. He had received a note from the Hon. Mr. Liddell, the Under Secretary of State, in answer to his communication, stating that the Solicitor to the Treasury would take charge of the prosecution. Mr. Charles Young said he was very glad to hear it, and he hoped the case would be concluded that day. Mr. Paget could not say that. At two o'clock the prisoner was arraigned in the dock, when Mr. Pollard, clerk to the Solicitor of the Treasury, said it was only on Wednesday after noon the Solicitor to the Treasury had received instructions to conduct the prosecution. Owing to the shortness of time he had not been able to read the voluminous depositions, or ascertain the real character of the case. Under these circumstances be had to request another remand for a week to enable him to make himself acquainted with the case. Mr. Charles Young opposed the application. There was nothing in the evidence to sustain a charge of wilful murder against the prisoner, and not the shadow of a case. It was most extraordi nary that the Treasury solicitor should step in at the eleventh hour and ask for another remand. Mr. Paget said with regard to the time at which the Solicitor to the Treasury interfered he was in some measure responsible. A circular had been forwarded to the magistrates of the metro politan police courts some years ago by the Home Secretary, recommending that, in cases of more than ordinary importance, notice should be forwarded to the home Office. In consequence of that circular he had communicated with the Home- Office on Tuesday, and on Wednesday received a letter from Mr. Liddell, stating that the Treasury solicitor had been instructed to appear. With regard to the application for a remand, he thought it was a very reasonable and proper one. The case could not be terminated in a proper manner, or for the interests of justice unless more time was allowed. He thought, however, that Mr. Horton, the surgeon, might with great propriety be further examined. Mr. Pollard—With the greatest pleasure. I have not seen the depositions, and know nothing of the case at present. Previous to Mr. Horton being called, Mr. John Scott, of the Commissioners of Police-office, Scotland - yard, produced a model of the locality in which the alleged murder was committed, on the scale of one inch to twenty feet, and a plan of the room in which the alleged murder was committed and of the adjoining room. Mr. J. Horton, surgeon, of High-street, Stepney, could recognise on the plan the spot where he first saw the body of the deceased, and was about to mark it, when Mr. Chas. Young objected, and said that he had heard learned judges object to plans being marked before a case was tried. Mr. Paget said if the solicitor thought it re objec tionable the plan should not b e distu r bed at psent. Mr. Horton then proceeded. The chair which covered the face of the deceased, and on w hich was a large quantity of blood , was close against the wall of the room. The back of it was close to the wall, and opposite to the door, between the bedstead and the fire-place. One foot of the chair was resting on the hearthrug, and the other foot rested on the floor near the bedstead. The feet of the body ex tended towards the door. One arm res ted on the hearth-rug. The body and legs we re on the floor , between the hearth -rug and the bed. The leg s were straight out, and the feet parted 18 inches from each other , and extended a foot beyond the end of the hearth -rug. The carotid artery and the jugular vein on t he left side, and also the w ind p i p e, were divided. There were no wounds of importance on the right side of the throat. I observed the surgery when I was called upon to attend the case. It was nearly half-past five, and it took me five minutes to reach the house in Lower Nort h- s treet. The wound on the left side of the throat extended as far as the spine, and trated to the commenced t wo inches below the left ear, and pene spine. lam sure it w did touch the by some spine, instru and I cou ld feel the bone as wounded ment. After some discussion between the magistrate, Mr. Pollard, and Mr. Charles Young, the prisoner was again remanded for a week. The court was filled, and the street in front of the building was filled by au ezcitablo crowd all day. WESTMINSTER. Wino STOLE THE SHOULDER OF MUTTON ? Arthur Loftus, who was said to be respectably connected, was charged; before Mr. Selfe, with being in the unlawful possession of a shoulder of mutton, valued at 53., the property of Mr. Shackell, a master butcher, at Knightsbridge. Police-constable Arthur Watkins, No. 253 B, said that be met the prisoner last night with the shank end of a shoulder of mutton protruding from his pocket. He asked him where he got it from, and at first he said that he bought it at Knightsbridge, and afterwards at Kensington. The answers being unsatisfactory he took the prisoner to the station-house. Mr. Shackell, in answer to the magistrate, said that the mutton was worth about 55., as it weighed 7 Albs. The prosecutor said that he did not wish to press the charge against the prisoner, who was highly respectable, and his friends were in great trouble about him. Mr. Selfe—l cannot allow this case to be settled in such a manner. In the case of a common assault I have no objection sometimes for the affair to be settled between each party. I shall not send the prisoner for trial, but I shall fine him 50s. for the unlawful possession, or a month's imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner said the shop-boy gave him the shoulder, and he was now sorry that he took it away. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Jane Hugh, a deter mined-looking woman about 42 years of age, the wife of a seaman, was charged with abandoning and exposing her child, aged four months, whereby its life became endangered, on June 22. The prisoner's husband, by whom she has had a large family, was away from England six years, and by his industry and talents maintained a high posi tion in a distant part of the world, and allowed her per month during his absence. She became faithless to him ; and when he came home about Christmas last she was seven months advanced in pregnancy, in consequence of having carried on an adulterous intercourse with another man. She imposed upon her husband a tale that she was ill and labour ing.under dropsy. In February last she gave biith to a male child at the house of her daughter, Sarah Burley, a married woman, of No. 18, Arbour-place, Stepney, in the immediate vicinity of the Thames Police Court, left her newly-born babe with her daughter, and returned immediately to her home to impose another fiction on her injured husband, that she had undergone an operation and been relieved of the dropsy. The illegitimate child, of whose existence the prisoner's husband was quite uncon cious, remained with Mrs. Burley the night of Saturday, the 22d of June, when she removed it in the absence of her daughter, who never saw it afterwards. On the same night, or rather early on the morning of 23d of June, a lad named Thomas Piper, of No. 87, Heath-street, Stepney, was on his way home, and kicked dg ainst a bundle on the ground.. The squeaking of a child indicated what the bundle contained. It was the body of an infant, which had been placed on the ground, against the railings of Albert-square, Stepney, about 500 yards from Asborn-place. The child waa taken to the station-house, and afterwards transferred to the Stepney Union Workhouse at Bromley on the 11th of the present month. The inquiries of Inspector Turner, of the K division, and Police-sergeant Briden, No. 4 K, left no doubt that the prisoner was the mother of the child, and that she had cruelly abandoned it. Last evening Police sergeant Briden went to the dwelling of the prisoner at No. 1, Asborn-place, Stepney, and told her he had called to see herin consequence of a child to which she had given birth a little while ago. The prisoner said " Yes, sir, I have had a child." Briden which she replied in the asstkepednehyer Union-house - i h t o w u as se , tc' at Bromley. Briden said " How came it there ?" She answered, " I took it there; I left it on a door-step." Briden said, " When was it ?" She answered " On the 22d of June." Mr. Paget—The child was found by the boy Piper on the night of the 22d of June after 12 o'clock ? Briden—Yes, sir. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if she would ask any questions of the witness. The Prisoner—Not any, sir ; what he says is quite true. I did leave it in the square ; it did not belong to my husband. . George Smith, a police-constable of the K divi sion, said he received a child found in Albert square, in the Commercial-road, Ratcliff, on the morning of the 23d of June last between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock. The child was very cold and weakly. Mr. Paget—When was the child born ? Inspector Turner—On the 20th of February at the house of the prisoner's daughter. Mr. J. S. Hawkins, surgeon, of No. 7, Canipbel road, Bow, was called to see the child on the 23d of February. It was in a fearfully emaciated con dition, and the hand forced down the throat. It was admitted as a foundling. The child died on the 11th of the present month. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if she had any de fence to make, and delivered the usual caution. The Prisoner—Nothing, sir, at all. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial at the next Middlesex Sessions.

In some special sorts, including carded yarns, there is rather more an imation. In pieces there has of late been rather more activity on American account for quick delivery. The home merchants are far from being active, and nothing has as yet been done in anticipation of the next season. Prices remain 1 without change. BIRMINGHADI AIIJSICAL FESTIVAL—The prepara tions for this great musical gathering are progressing satis factorily. The applications to the strangers' committee for tickets aro already in excess of those received up to the same period of the last Festival in 1864. The now sacred cantata, by Professor W. Sterndalo Bennett, is completed, and the musical arrangements generally are fully matured. A bril liant and successful meeting is confidently anticipated. Earl Beauchamp, the president, presided over a mooting of the committee yesterday, when the final arraugernonts were cIisPONO4 Qt. MARK LANE, The supply of old English wheat here to-day was very limited ;of new moderate. Owing iu some measure to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, the trade was heavy, and Monday's prices were barely supported. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat, in which sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. Floating cargoes of grain met a heavy inquiry, and the quotations had a drooping tendency. The barley trade was very firm, and prices were well supported. In malt, the supply of which was good, very little was passing at the late decline in value. There was a steady sale for oats at full quotations. The show of samples was only moderate. Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday. In flour next to nothing was doing, 81M' ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

DUBLIN, Aug. 29 An investigation was commenced yesterday, in the Court-house of Granard, into the charge pre ferred against 42 persons belonging to the town for an alleged violent and unprovoked assault upon the Rev. W. G. Campbell, Wesleyan minister, on July 30. Mr. F. Lemoral, Crown solicitor for the county of Longford, appeared on behalf of the Crown ; Mr. W. M‘Laughlin appeared on the part of the Rev. Mr. Campbell, and to watch the case on behalf of the Wesleyan Missionary Society of Ireland. Mr. Curtis appeared for the defendants. Shortly after the rev, gentleman commenced to give his evidence he was interrupted by loud shouts of derisive yells. The magistrates threatened to clear the court if these demonstrations were continued, and during the re mainder of the proceedings the audience conducted themselves quietly. The Rev. Mr. Campbell arrived at Granard at three o'clock on the day in question, on his way from Cavan to Athlone. He was driving in his own gig. The head-constable walked with him to the head of the town, and he was about to bid the constable good-bye when a woman came up and said, " Youknow the way you came—you have been here before." Immediately a number of persons gathered round the gig, and indulged in groans and gestures of a threatening character. Ile thought it right to go back to the police barracks, and he did so, followed byithe crowd, which increased consi derably. They hooted and groaned him, greeted him with cries of " Garibaldi," " Old Devil," "Antichrist," and wished to send him to he 11. lie rema ined an hour in the barracks, and on leaving VMS followed by the mob, which numbered 400 persons. The police distributed themselves about the gig and protected him. When about a quar ter of a mile from the town, the police attempted to arrest an individual, and the crowd anidnterfered ended . H e then started , left the crowd, - voured to escape, when he was assailed with voi le) s of ston es, and his head severely cut, besides being struck in several p arts of the body. He made his way with dif ficult y to Mr. Kelly's, of Kileourey, where his wounds were drssed by a member of that family. O n cross-examineation, it was endeavoure d to show that Mr. Campbell w as obnoxious to the peo ple of Granard for having preached there on a former occasion, when he was also attac theked. He denied that he gav e any provocatsion to people on this occasion. The police corroborated Mr. Campbell's evidenc e, and identified sev eral of the prisoners. The case was not concluded when the re p o rts of the proceedings wer e forwarded to the Dublin newspapers. The warrant appointing Mr. Chatterton Vice- Chancellor and Mr. Warren, Attorney-General for Ireland, arrived in town yesterday. The Irish Times complains that Mr. Chatterton insists upon the appointment of his nominee—Mr. Michael liar rison--to the Solicitor -Generalship, vacated by the promotion of Mr. Warren. The 7imes protests against this course on the part of Mr. Chatterton, observ i n g that he ought to be content with what he has got, without attempting to dictate to the Go vernment. The Evening Mail and Saunders's NCI'S L e tt e r hold similar language. It is u nde r stood,however, that the :claims of Mr. Harrison are strongly urged by Lord Cairns, who is a connection of the learned gentleman. The funeral of the late lamented Lord Dunkellin took place yesterday at Athenry. The body ar rived in Dublin ye sterda y morning, and was con veyed by special train to Athenry, where an immense concourse of people had assembled in the vicinity of the railway SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day.

He contended that the certificate of indemnity which Broad head possessed guaranteed him, in accordance with the act of Parliament, against all consequences. The bench Said something was due to moral sentiment, and refused to renew the licence. Notice of appeal was given.

The disappearance of all the four moons of Ju piter on Wednesday night proved an object of at traction to all astronomers, because of the rarity of the phenomenon, not because it was of any prac tical astronomical value. From the number of clouds about the evening proved very unfavourable. At Twickenham Observatory Mr. J. R. Hind, F.R.A.S., watched for the disappearance of each moon, but did not see the p henomenon in any single instance. Several times after the moons had dis appeared, Jupiter was seen apparently without his sate llit e s, through openings in t he clouds, the great length of time the disappearance lasted apparently from 10.4 p.m. to 11.49 p.m., favouring observers in this respect. When the phenomenon was pre viously seen, on the 27th September, 1843, Jupiter appeared without satellites only from 11.63 p.m. to 12.28 a.m. The little observatory at Twickenham, whence several gazers saw what they could of the apparent loss of the moons on Wednesday night, is very pleasantly situated on the opposite side of the Thames, from the Star and Garter Hotel, on Richmond Hill. Originally the observatory stood i n Regent's Park, but in 1863 it WAS moved to its present position, where it now remains, the property of Mr. George Bishop, F.R.G.S. The principal work done at the observatory is the mapping of the positions of large numbers of the fixed stars, in order to form charts to assist in the discovery of planets. On turning the telescope to a part of the heavens which has previously been mapped, and finding an orb there not laid down in the charts, the probability is that the new body is a ' planet. In this way, at Twickenham Observatory, Mr. Hind has discovered no fewer than ten new little planets, on the following dates : —lris, August 13, 1847 ; Flora, October 18, 1817 ; Victoria, Sep tember 13, 1850 ; Irene, May 19, 1851; Melpo mene, June 24, 1852 ; Fortuna, August 22, 1852 ; Calliope, November 16,Thalia, December 15, 1852 ; Euterpe, November 8, 1853 ; and Urania, July 22, 1851. Au sistant at the obser vatory, Mr. A. Marth, discovered the planet Am phitrite, March 1, 1854. There are no fewer than 75 little planets like these between Mars an man 480 piter, the largest of them probably not more tha miles in diameter. The observe pecial work of this useful observatory is the tion of some of the d ou ble stars, and the ir 'notions with regard to each other. Th e re is an iustrilment there of low power and large aperture, made for the purpose of sweep ing the heavens with rapidity, for the discovery of of new comets, and this g ave additional good views Jupiter on Wednesday. The large equatorial tele scope, which does most of the work, has an object lass 7 inches in diameter. This, according to modern notions, is not a very large instrument, but it has done good service in its time. Letters from Alexandria of the 9th instant state that the overflowing of the Nile has taken place this year under the most favourable conditions, and that the harvest proli t io t 9 u 0 lanwliiitt, day.
