ONE XARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLock. To-morrow being the 18th a large number of Australian engagements have to be met, and the necessary provision for them has exercised some influence in stimulating the demand, and causing a little more firmness in the terms asked by discounters for monetary accommodation. The market, how ever, is practically unaltered, and in a clay or two even greater easiness is not improbable. A further influx of gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday, amounting to £60,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced 1, to 311 32f, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bondi remain firm at 22 22i. At the meeting held to-day of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, the report submitted stated that the operations for the year ending December 31 last showed a net profit amounting to £97,028. This result the directors deemed satisfactory, considering the long con tinuance of the late crisis, with its depressing in fluence on every branch of Eastern business. That crisis not only led to more failures, but seriously prejudiced the realisation of the bank's claims on the estates of firms which had previously suspended pay inent,especiallythose connected with Bombay. Under these circumstances the directors, after instituting a fresh careful revision of all bad and doubtful debts, calculated up to the present time, have considered it their duty to write off the sum of £68,332 14s. Bd. from profit and loss account, to be met in great part by the earn i ngs of t h e year, b ut necessitating the ` by transfer of £lO,OOO from the reserve fund, which now only stands at as much more. The directors believe that the crisis in the East is now at an end, and knowing the excellent position of the bank, and that its capital is quite intact, have no hesitation in recommending the shareholders to de clare a dividend for the half-year ended on the 31st December last, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, which will leave the sum cf £1,134 18s. 9d. to be carried forward. Two o'CLoox. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Routes were 66.60. Heavy. At the close of business yesterday afternoon Con sols were 1 per cent, lower, and they remain at that decline, being 901 for transfer as well as for the account. This depression was occasioned by sales in realisation of profits after the previous advance, and the receipt of reduced prices from the Paris Bourse, and which were supposed to possess politi cal significance. Despite this temporary relapse in the value of the Funds, the market continues to exhibit considerable strength. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 j ; Exchequer Bills 17s. preen ; Bank of England Stock, 251 253 ; India Stock, 219 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1091 1 10 ; and ditto Bonds, 495. to 525. prem.

Great Northern and Metropolitan have each receded 1, Brighton and South Eastern each 1, and Great Western, Lancashire and Y or k s hi re, and M i dland, each 1 ; while Great Eastern have improved 1.

Forall kinds the demand was inactive ; nevertheless previous rates were supported. The imports of foreign wheat have been only 7,360 quarters. Importers were very firm in their demands. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last week.. The arrivals were only moderate. Over 10,000 quarters of foreign barley ha v i ng arr i ve d the sale for th a t article was restricted, yet prices were well supported. Malt was a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply was good. Oats were quite as dear as on Monday. Beans and peas, as well as flour, were unaltered in value. REIr ♦RRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The stakes are £lOO a side, the match to be 50 games, wins and draws to count. THE THAMES.—The river is daily getting into good order for trout fishing. A fine trout of 81bs. was taken at Chertsey, on Saturday last, by one of the members of the Thames Angling Preservation Society. Another member tried the Haliford waters a few days since, but only got one touch, which entirely cleared his bait. In the previous week he was more successful, having taken two trout of nob., in splendid condition, at Iroulsey, which he believes were of the Thames breed. This same gentleman, two seasons since, captured nine large trout out of the preserved waters. J. Keen, of Chertsey, has taken a trout of Vbs. and one of the same weight was taken by a gentleman at Sunbury. Tom Davis, of Moulsey, has been very fortunate with his patrons, having caught four trout in ono week, the largest being about 411 b. The lovers of fish culture will be glad to learn that the young fry , at Hampton are in a healthy state, and 'a considerable number have been turned into the rearing ponds at Sunbury.—lVest Surrey Times. ilomfoinr.—On Friday evening an old man, named Jeremiah Twohig, about 60 years of age, employed as dairyman by a farmer named Lynch, was beaten to death by three other men on the roadside at a place called Codrum, about a mile from Bally vourney.

THE CASE OF STABBING AT EVERTON.--.A. day or two ago we reported a cas e o f a sailor named Parsons having quarrelled with some fishwomen at a beerhouse in Everton, and that one of the women drew a knife, as did Parsons, who stabbed one of them. The woman, Bridget Cannon, has since died from the injuries inflicted on her by Parsons with the knife. He was brought before the stipendiary magistrate on Saturday at Liverpool, and was then remanded for seven days on the charge of stabbing only. An inquest will be hold on the body of the deceased woman.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND.—At present agricultural prospects aro somewhat cheering, from the upward movement in the value of wheat ; and so soon as seed-time is over, thrashing will go on favourably, weather permitting, as the millers are anxious to secure the best qualities at market prieeq, and higher rates are consequently in the ascendant.—Afark Lane Express. A COINCIDENCE OF "INSTRUCTION.”—M r . Dis raeli's reply to Mr. Locke was a masterpiece of Par liamentary sarcasm and rebuke, and probably recallo to the mind of the honourable member for Exeter an incident which occurred to him about five and twenty years ago, and which, perhaps, he had himself almost forgotten. It is as fellows :—The late Master of 134i0l College—Dr, Joukyns—in summing up on some rather damaging anti depreciative reports furnished by the Mors as to the de meanour of ono of the scholars of the house, who, on the whole, was deservedly regarded as an ornament to that body, addressed him in that peculiar croak, which no man who has ever hoard it can either imitate or forget— " Mister Coleridge, wo regard you as a very clever young man ; we think very highly of you, Mister Coleridge very highly indeed—but not so highly as you do of yourself"_ Essex Gazette. INTERESTING TO LADlES. — Notwithstanding the nume rous preparations for the restorat on and improvement of the Human Hair which are daily put before the public, and all professed to be infallible, but of which the facts are mush to be questioned, we have now an opportunity of vouching for the virtues of that long-established ar icle, Rowlands' Ataosssar Oil. Airs. J. Kennaby, of Carlton-terrace, Great Dover-road, became quito bald ; and although not possessing much faith in any article effecting a restoration of the hair, was persuaded to give Rowlands' Oil a fair trial ; and, after the use of three bottles, she quite recovered it, and now pos sesses a beautiful head of hair, of considerable length. The lady is too much gratified to withhold the jualce due to the Vroprietors of this invaluable preparation. MINING MARKET. WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Dr. Fanshawe, the head master, has since received his royal highness's expreL wish that an extra week's holiday should be added to the usual Easter vacation, which has at once boon granted Bedford School, _which is in the patronage of New College, Oxford, is the largest endowed grammar school in the kingdom. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before tho Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Blackburn, Shoe, and Lush.) KELLTHROPP V. TILE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. The Solicitor-General moved for a rule in this case to sot aside the verdict of the jury, which was in favour of the plaintiff, on the ground that the damages given were excessive. The plaintiff was a person farming over 2,000 acres of land, and while travelling on the Great Eastern Railway an accident occurred, which resulted iu such serious injury to him that he was rendered, as it was stated at the trial, helpless for life, and the jury gave him damages to the ?mount of £7,000. The Lord Chief Justice said the case was a very serious ono to the plaintiff. Re was an agricul turist, farming over 2,00') acres of land, and a person in the most vigorous health. By the accident he was ren dered, according to the evidence, a helpless cripple. If there was no hope of his recovering, then the damages he did not consider excessive ; but if at the end of 12 months he so much recovered as to give hope for the future, then he thought the damages too large. The best' course, he hought, was for the railway company to pay the plaintiff a certain sum down, and then wait to see how he pro gressed, and if the case should be such as the jury expected then they could pay the rest. It was important to both parties that the matter should be settled with fairness. The Solicitor-General said he was perfectly satisfied to let the matter stand in that way. The Lord Chief Justice said it would, however, become necessary to make another inquiry, but on the under standing just come to the Court would grant a rule. COURT OF EXCIIEQ,UER. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Piggot.) WINTERBOTHAM V. THE EARL OF DERBY. Mr. Temple, Q.C. (with him Mr. Russell), moved for a rule for a new trial in this case, on the ground of misdi rection on the part of the learned judge who tried the case, and stated that the facts were these. The action was tried at Manchester at the last assizes, before Mr. J ustice Mellor, and uu that occasion the defendant submitted to a non suit ; and he now complained that through the misdirection of Mr. Justice Mellor the jury was induced to give compensation in damages to the plaintiff, and in consequence he now asked for a now trial. The matter in dispute was a certain right of way through a place called Preswich in Lancashire, and which belonged to the Earl of Derby. The plaintiff complained that a per son named Staker, who was the agent of the Earl of Derby, had placed across the road wire fences, which had put him to inconvenience and expense on that account, and that the defendant and his agents had no right to put up this wire fence, inasmuch as the way was a public one. The learned counsel then reviewed the possession of the estate from a very early period, and stated that in 1808 it came into the possession of Lord Derby, and from that time the right of way had been disputed. The right of user arose in 1780. The Lord Chief Baron—lf the user of 1780 is right, there is, undoubtedly, an immemorial right of way ; if it is wrong, you are doubtless entitled to a new trial. Mr. Temple—Precisely, that is what I contend, my lord ; and also that when the question of the lease granted in 1808 came into question the onus of proof was shifted from the defendant to the plaintiff. He contended, further, that the user must be subservient to the person bringing the action. It had just been pointed out to him that in the leases a specal clause had been inserted, reserving a right of way to Lord Derby and his successors. Baron Bramwell—But there is a right of way to Lord Derby. Mr. Temple—But it was special to him, and has existed to him and predecessors from time immemorial. Baron Bramwell—That would be a question as a matter of evidence certainly. Mr: Temple—There was another road kept up for the public, and this road Lord Derby had a perfect right to allow his farmers to make use of. The Lord Chief Baron intimated that tho Court should grant a rule. Rule nisi accordingly. BROOM V. NICHOLSON. Mr. Brett moved in this case to set aside the verdict, which was tried before . the Lot d Chief Baron at Guild hall, and in which a verdict was given for the plaintiff for the sum of .£550. The case arose out of the collision of two steamers, in which the plaintiff's vessel, the Ross D. Mangles, was sunk, it was alleged, by the negligence of the parties in command of the other. The plaintiff sued the defendants for the loss of his personal property ; the question relating to the recovery of the Yalta) of the ship not having yet been tried. The two vessels were steering in opposite dii ectious, and in consequence of the lights of one of them becoming obscured by the smoke issuing from the funnel the collision took place, but ❑ot, it was contended, at all in the way described by the plaintiff. The Court took time to consider the points involved in the case. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, (Before Mr. Justice LAYIES Y. FRANKS. This was an action brought to recover the value of a horse, which the plaintiff, a surgeon, had purchased of the defendant for £lO, on the understanding that it was quiet in harness. The plaintiff, after he had had the horse a short time felt that it was not such as had been de scribed, and communicated th e f ac t t o the defendant. The defendant said the hors e w as no t proper ly managed, and the matter resulted in th e pl a i n tiff sen ding the horse to the defendant's residence, and le a vi ng it there fastened to the gates of the house. Th e h orse was taken to the Green yard, and from there to Ald r id ge ' s , where it realised the sum of 35 guineas. The matter could not be amicably settled between the parties, and the present action was the result. After hearing evidence the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages x• 10. POLICE INTELLIGEME.--This Day. BOW-STREET. NOT QUITE A " FRIENDLY CILAFF."—David Clarke, a lithographer, and Elizabeth Lowe, a prostitute, were placed at the bar, the former on the charge of assaulting Richard Hands Hutchinson, and the latter on suspicion of stealing 30s. from his waistcoat pocket. The prosecutor, who said ho resided at Hammersmith stated that about half-past one this morning ho was drink ing in a publichouse just opposite the Raglan Music Hall, and no sooner had ho gained the street than he was set upon by the female prisoner and five or six other mon and women. He defended himself as well as he was able with his umbrella, but the male prisoner, whom he had not seen before, rushed in and struck witness a violent blow on the nose. The female prisoner had been drinking in the public house, but he (witness) did not have any con versation with her. After the witness was assaulted the female prisoner hustled him against the wall, and took, he computed, 30s. in silver from his waistcoat pocket. A little time elapsed before ho saw a constable, and during that time he was continually being pushed about by the mob. He then gave the two prisoners into custody. Witness said he was neither drunk nor sober, but he knew perfectly what he was about. He missed the money after ho had given the prisoners in charge. The prisoner Clarke said he saw the prosecutor strike the woman, and he only pushed him aside, calling him a cowardly fellow. Prisoner did not know the female. Never saw her before. The female prisoner asked witness if he was not having a dispute inside the public house. Witness—Yes ; some men were chaffing me. Mr. Vaughan—Was it a friendly chaff or an angry contest ? Witness—lt was more of an angry contest., and the mon were enticing me to ba,t. One man offered to fight me for .£5, money down. Ho was not a fighting man. .1 fancy he was only chaffing me. Police-constable 62 E deposed he saw a crowd of abou fifty people, and on proceeding towards it saw the witness, who gave the prisoner into custody on the pre ferred charges. He bad known the female for a consider able time. She is always followed by a lot of mon. He had seen her as late as five o'clock in the morning. She also frequents Euston-square, and all about that neigh bourhood, and has been convicted before. Had never seen the male prisoner before. Mr. Vaughan said—l am very glad to hear that you have no connection whatever with that woman. You came up in the middle of the disturbance, and' could not judge which was the right or the wrong side. On seeing the witness defend himself, you mistook it for an assault on the woman. You acted too impetuously. The male prisoner is fined 55., or four days. The female is remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCANDALOUS NUlSANCE.—Elizabeth Bacon, a girl, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct, &c. Police-constable Charles Vindon, 34 E, said that on the previous night about 9 o'clock he saw the prisoner and several other boys and girls in Cumberland-street, and directly the prisoner saw him she called out, " Here comes the Bobby !" and ran away, and after going a short distance she turned round and made use of a disgusting expression. Mr. John Beale, harness maker, of No. 1, Gresse-street, Rathbone-place, said he know the girl to be an associate of a class of boys and girls whose conduct was perfectly frightful. They were in the habit of congregating and annoying the inhabitants of the street., and if any one interfered with them they were grossly insulted. Of a Sunday the boys and girls picked pockets, pelted the passers-by, and bonneted elderly gentlemen. A few days ago a number of them went into a pastrycook's shop, and took away a number of tarts and throw them about the street, and about 400 panes of glass at Percy Chapel had been demolished by them. The Prisoner said it was not her, but the other girls. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a melancholy thing to see a gill so young devoted to such wickedness. She was going to ruin as fast as she could. Ile should lino her 205., or 7 days. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY.- Richard Cheshire, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with a robbery in a beerhouse. Charles Raine, a London Dock constable, of 5, Trinity buildings, Great Tower-street, stated that last night, at a quarter past ten o'clock, he was returning home along Towerhill when he heard cries of murder and police pro ceeding from the interior of the Little Tower beerhouse, in Postern-row. On looking in he saw the prisoner and three or four other soldiers at the btr, the landlady in fear and screaming, and the place in great confusion. lli got into the doorway and saw the prisoner violently pushing the other soldiers, and at the same time the prisoner drew the till out of its place, took the money out, and put it into his right-hand trousers pocket. The soldiers then ran a way, and proceeded to the Prince Albert publichouse. He followed them, and gave information to a City police cousta ble. Mrs. Susannah Hayhow, the landlady of the Little Tower beerhouse, said the prisoner and another soldier rushed into her parlour And knocked down, her husband and another man named Sands. A rush. was then made towards the bar, the till was drawn out, and the money abstracted. The till contained a shilling's worth. of pence and halfpence, two sixpences, a fourpenny-piece, and a threepenny-piece. The prisoner made a general denial of his guilt. The case, however, was clearly made out against him, and Mr. Paget committed him for trial. WESTMINSTER. VERY REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—Thomas Gordon, a man nearly 30 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with having burglariously broken and entered the shop of Mr. Griffiths, Regent-place, Westminster, and stealing therein a number of watches, gold chains, and other articles of value. _ _ Prosecutor said—l am a watchmaker and jeweller. I discovered on Tuesday (yesterday) morning when I got up that thieves had effected an entrance into my houie in the night. I found the staircase window and the back door open; My shop had been entered and a number of watches taken from off my work board, and there were others removed from a glass ca - se. A great deal of the pro perty stolen belonged to customers, being articles sent to me to repair. I afterwards gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Arnold—Was your house loft secure on tho pre vious night ? Prosecutor—l fastened it myself. Mr. Arnold—How was it entered ? Prosecutor—The fastening of the staircase window had been removed by a knife or some other instrument fiom outside. • Mr. Arnold—Do you khow anything of the prisoner ? Prosecutor—Nothing. • Mr. Arnold—ls any of your missing property found ? Prosecutor—Yes ; a gold ring has been traced to the prisoner, and is now produced. Mrs. Elizabeth Waterfield—l keep the Old Rose public house, Medway-street, Westminster. Yesterday the pri soner came into my house, and offered to sell me a ring which belonged to my daughter. Mr. Arnold—Where had the ring been? Witness—We had sent it to Mr. Griffiths to put a stone in, and it was one of the things stolen from his shop. I bought it of the prisoner, because he should not take it away for half-a-crown. I gave information to Mr. Grif fiths immediately, but the prisoner and those that were with him went away directly they had had something to drink. The police wont after them, and the man was taken. John Marsh, 62 B—l received information about this robbery, and prisoner having sold the ring, and I found him this morning at the Corner-pin public-house, Strut ton-ground. I told him what I took him for, and ho said he had picked up the ring. Prisoner was remanded. Criminal Procedure in Scotland. With reference to the recent charges against Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand, the Scotsman compares the English and Scotch systems of pro cedure, and expresses a very decided preference, for the latter, whether as regards the ends of public justice or the interests of private citizens. It says:— " In the first place, there is in every criminal court in Scotland, from the police court to the High Court of Justiciary, a public prosecutor. ,The Lord Ad vocate is the principal prosecutor, and can order a prosecution in any court; and where a case h too serious to be disposed of by a police magistrate in the court in which it is to be tried is fixed by the Lord Advocate, either personally or by his deputies. The Procurators-Fisc 11, to whom all cases not suit able to be disposed of in the police-court are re mitted, and who' are bound to inquire into every ease of.which they are informed, have nn power to decide whetheraprosecution shall be carried through or not. After taking depositions in private, with the aid of a magistrate, to compel the witnesses to give evidence, the whole depositions must be for warded—to the Lord Advocate's Department, and it is there decided whether a prosecution for the Crown shall be instituted or not, and, if the former, in what court it shall take place. No private arrange ment between the injured party and the criminal can prevent the public prosecutor from instituting a prosecution, and where a public prosecutor of infe rior grade fails in his duty, he may be found liable to be mulcted in costs, or may be censured or re moved at the instance of the Lord Advocate. By this means security is obtained against oppressive prosecution on the one hand, and lax conduct in the suppression of crime on the other. And so well does the system work that a prosecution by an in jured party himself, in consequence of improper declinature of the officers of the Crown to prosecute, does not occur once in 50 years. As regards private prosecution, the rules of law give ample facilities to injured parties and their relatives to prose cute, but at the same time provide sufficient safeguards against frivolous or malicious prose cution. A private individual is not allowed to prosecute unless he can show a substantial interest to do so, whether as being the injured party himself, or as being a relative or guardian of the sufferer. And when he claims to prosecute he must find security to insist in the charge, and may ultimately be found liable to the accused in costs if he fail to establish his case. Moreover, at the outset of the proceedings, he must obtain the concurrence of the public prosecutor (who is bound to give it, unless he show cause why it should not be given), and is liable to be called on by the accused to take an 'oath of calu►nny'—th a t is, to swear to his rea sonable l.elief of the justice of his cause. But, sub ject to these safeguards, a private prosecutor cannot be prevented from presenting his case to a jury. He has not to fight nice questions of law or evidence before a magistrate in a police court, or to peril his case before a grand jury sitting in secret conclave, and finding or not finding a true bill on imperfect information, and without hearing any argument. If his charge be relevant, he is entitled to the verdict of a jury upon it. On the other' hand, in all prose cutions the accused is not placed in the position of having ex parte depositions and declamatory speeches used against him in a police court, and then being pro ven ted from meeting his accuser fairlyby the abandon ment of the prosecution. The prosecutor cannot place any evidence against him before the public until he does so in that court in which a final judg ment must be given, convicting or for ever acquit ting. Had the English system of criminal law been similar to that which prevails in this benighted and barbarous end of the island persons such as Mr. John Stuart Mill, not being in any way related to Mr. Gordon, would not have been allowed to charge gentlemen with murder for the purpose of clearing up some intricate point about martial law ; but, again, any person who was a near relative of Gor don could not have been prevented fiom demanding a verdict by the veto either of a Bench of Justices or a Grand Jury, both acting on what was neces sarily imperfect information. On the other hand, the gentlemen who were accused would not have been subjected to an imperfect trial, and having de positions against them published in every newspaper, and lengthy speeches made against them by learned counsel, and would have been secure of having their case fairly and fully tried, and of being indemnified for their costs in the event of the prosecution result ing in an acquittal." THE NATIONAL FIELD TRIALS OF SPORTING DOGS FOR PRIZES.—The public trials of pointers on game in the field will take place on the Wednesday in Easter week, over a manor near Gnosall; and subsequently the setters will be hunted over an estate at Cloton-hill. Both localities are near Stafford. The entries of dogs to con tend for the prizes will close to-morrow, the 17th. The trials will occupy two or three days. The dogs will be tried over partridges, and the committee have decided that a charge•of powder shall be fired when the birds rise, in order to test the education and perfection of the dogs while on game.

Julius trotted some time, and then went a rattler forne'rly a mile and a half led by the Beadle. Hermit cantered awhile, and then galloped a little over a mile very slowly. Trocadero did the most work, And well too, for he had two smart canters, and then galloped a mile and three-quarters, moving with the gracefulness of a bird and the strength of a lion. star of India also galloped freely for a mile and a half, and is forward in condition. Sir Oliver was working steadily, but will not be fit for the Two Thousand. Jasper accompaded Hippia for a mile and a half, the pair being led by Dales- Inan ; and Opoponax galloped a mile and a quarter. Van AmbUrgh followed Musician' all a mile and three-quarters, Verularn being with them. Sunny locks went nearly two miles, and Archimedes went over that distance. Plutus took the Dragon a mile and three-quarters at a cracking pace, and the latter performed uncommonly well. Tormentor was gal loping over a couple of miles. STOCKBRIDGE. Gomora led Vauban two canters, and then a mile and a half gallop ; and the pair went strong and fast. pantaloon led Harpenden and Lady Rose a cracker for a mile and a quarter. Seville galloped a mile and a half at rare speed, and is fit for the Two Thousand, in which she is bound to get a place. Lady Elizabeth also goes to Newmarket for the Two Year Old Plate, being quite ripe and a veritable clinker. The Duke was still about. John Davis led Lecturer a couple of miles steadily. Distin and Fairfield trotted only ; and Uncas went a mile and three-quarters slowly. ILSLEY. Achievement was trotting about some time, then cantered a mile twice, and finished up with a mile and a quarter gallop at three parts speed. The General galloped a mile and three quarters. We have got two strange horses here, one looking very like Knight of the Garter, probably to be tried with Lord Lyon, who this morning went a mile and a half very fast. Dalby did over two miles, galloping beautifully. Ellaud, too, is in similar work. LAMBOURNE. Marksman cantered three times this morning, and subsequently took a three-parts speed gallop of about a mile and a half, looking and going superbly. The Sunflower filly also went through a like amount of exercise. The rest of Mr. Merry's team, barring Cawdor (who did plenty), were trotting and canter ing only. LONDON GAZET U.-LAS T EVENI &G.
