STEALING A BANK NOTE.—A KIND PROSECUTOR.- -Henry Moulder, servant to Mr. Harman Grise wood, a gentleman residing at No. 4, Au , Hey-square, South And- I c y- s tr e et, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a £lO note, the property of his master. The evidence showed that a few weeks ago Mr. Grise wood placed some money in a drawer, leaving th• drawer unlocked, and on his subsequently going to the drawer he . missed the £lO in question. Mr. Grisewood instituted in quiries respecting the note, which was subsequently traced to have been paid by the prisoner to Mr. George Loader, of the Green Dragin Yard, King-street, Regent street, the prisoner having given it to him in change to settle a small debt he owed him. The Prisoner was then taken into custody by Sergeant Bunco. The prisoner made no answer to the charge. Mr. Grisewood strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy, stating that he had been a very good servant. Mr. Knox said that but for the interference of the pro secutor he would have sent the prisoner for the full term As it was he would be committed for three month; with hard labour. THAMES. STEALING LEAD FROM THE WEST INDIA DOCKS.— Thomas Biggs, aged 15, was charged beforo Mr. Partridge with stealing 391bs. of blue lead from the roof of a now warehouse in ths West India Docks. The prisouor was defended by Mr. Gomm. James Gallibeo said that he was a gatekeeper at the West India, Docks, and last eyouing, between fire and six o'clock, he saw the prisoner coming towards him ; thought his chest and abdomen appared larger than usual, which induced him to ask what ho had got concealed about his person. Ho said "Nothing," but upon taking him into his box he searched him, and found this " breastplate" swung b a horse's belly-belt, and attached to his waist. Thu breast-plate was here produced, and it consisted of 391bs. of leads ingeniously beaten up, so as when concealed under the clothes it was almost impossible to detect it. Mr. Tollett, the foreman to M9ssrs. Hill and Kettle, the builder.!„ of No. 203, Whitechnpel-road, proved that the prisoner was a plumber's labourer iu the service of his employers. Ho produced a portion of lead from which the 391bs. found on the prisoner had been taken. Mr. Gomm implored the magistrate not to send the prisoner for trial, as it was the prisoner's first offence, and ho called ono of his masters, who gave the boy a good character. _ _ _ The prisoner, ,pleaded guilty, and said it Was his firs) offence. The prisoner was fully committal for trial. REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS.—Mr. Thomas J. Ewing has published a littl6 work on the redistribution of seats qu stion, in which ha has dividal England into three portions —north.3rn, midland, and sJuthern— contrast Ike wealth and population and the representa tion in each, and showing the nambar,of parliamentary boroughs in each and their population, with the number and population of towns and cities which have a popula tion-of B,ooe and over. This method exhibits the extent of the existing inequaliq of the distribution of seats in a strong light, especiafty with reference to tLe manufac turing and non-nianufacturing portions of the country. Mr. Jabs stride, of the Drury-lane Theatre, tendered to the sitting magistrate at Bow-street, Mr. Vaughan, a donation for the poor-box of £l, forwarded by Mr. F. B.

The general dimensions are as fol -1 ws : —Each vat is 37 feet high, and the girth of the largest at its widest part, 35 feet. The massive steno pillars upon which these several vats rest are '2O feet in length, and have a foundation of seven feet in depth, resting upon a granite base. Here we have ranges of buildings branching out north, south, cast, and west, and which are crammed as full of vats as the circular form of the vessels will permit —some larger than others, but all of such dimensions as to baffle one's common notions of "groat" and "small." Sometimes, walk ing on the eastern floor, we pass immediately under the ranges of vats (fur none of them rest ou the ground), and might then be said to have a stratum of beer 20 or 30 feet iu thickness over our heads; at another, we walk on a platform level with the bottom of the vats ; or, by ascending steep ladders, we mount to the top, and obtain a kind of bird's-eye view of these mighty monsters. The town of Heidelberg, in Germany, has gained a sort of celebrity for possessing a tun of vast dimensions, capable of holding 700 hogsheads of wile ; but there aro several of the vats here mentioned, in each of which the Heidelberg tun would have ample room and_ verge enough to swim abotit , —Lieensed Victuallers' Guar . dian. SPITT2Y V. KITCHEN. The plaintiff in this case was a general dealer at Bradwell, Essex, and the defendant was a captain in the Coast Guard service, and an action was brought by the plaintiff against him for false and malicious imprisonment.] At the OW a verdict -was found for the plaintiff, and the defendant obtained a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside. ft appeared that the plaintiff had purchased some rcpe at the Government stores, where a sale takes place periodi cally, and amongst the rope was some pieces bearing the yellow or Government mark, which the defendan t afterwards sold. There had been some ill-feeling between the parties, and the plaintiff alleged that the defendant had subjected him to a series of petty prosecutions, but it was elicited at the trial that he had been convicted of stealing corn and sentenced to six months' imprisomnent. Some time after the plaintiff sold the rope, the defendant came to his house between two and three o'clock in the morning when he was in bed, and having charged him with stealing Government rope gave him into custody. He was detained for two days, and when the case was heard before the magistrates, they de scribed it as most frivolous, and immediately. dis missed it. _ The Lord Chief Justice having read the evidence, which was very voluminous, the arguments were then proceeded with, and are likely to occupy some time. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Pigott and a Common Jury.) COHEN V. PENNY-PENNY V. COHEN-.-THE OLD IRON CASE. These were cross actions, the question at issue being the purchase anci non-delivery of a quantity of iron which had been sold by Penny to Cohen. Mr. Day and Mr. Williams appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. Sergeant BAllantine and Mr. Philbrick for the defendant. It appeared that some months ago, that is to say, in February, Penny, who was the owner of what was called the Wenlock Iron Works Company, in the City-road, had a considerable quantity of iron for sale. his foreman told Mr. Cohen that the iron was for sale, and he sent his brother down to see it and buy it. :The iron consisted of two sorts, burnt iron and unburnt iron, the former being the more valuable. Mr. Cohen agreed to buy the iron, giving 40s. for the unburnt iron and 355. for the other description of iron. It was impossible to sever one from the other without picking it out. When the iron came to be delivered it was found the defendant had only sent burnt iron, which was comparatively useless, although it might be used with another sort of iron. Mr. Cohen re quested him to send the whole lot, but he refused. This involved a considerable loss to the plaintiff, and this action was brought. The cross action arose from the fact that the plaintiff had not paid for the iron that had been sent to him, and con sequently the defendant brought the second action to recover it. Mr. W. li. Cohen stated that he had bought the whole of the iron at the price above stated, and that he and Mr. Dewson had cardfully gone through it. The iron was scattered about the place, some retorts both burnt and unburnt, and some attached to the works was also there. He bought them all, but only the burnt retorts were sent in. They could not use the burnt iron without the other. The unburnt iron was much more in value than the other. He had already sold the iron, together with 20 tons which he had by him. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine— The iron that had been delivered had been sold to Mr. Moses Isaacs. His brother did not tell him all his business, so he could not know when it was sold. He was foreman a year ago, and conducted the busi ness for his mother. his brother was then wo►king about the place. his brother had become master since. He was agent for Mr. Hart,' of the Raglan Music Hall. Ile was a musical agent, and occa sionally a dealer in old iron. He had entered into a composition deed with his creditors. This was for his mother and the good of the family. It was through family affection. Ha did not know what he paid in the pound. Ile did not know what the deed was for'. He cauld not recollect. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Come, you ought to be proud at having sacrificed yourself at the parental slirine.. (Laughter.) Come, how much was the deed ? Witness—No, I can't, say. Next year, 1865, my mother was in difficulties, and I sacrificed myself again. In 1866 again, and this time for £6,000. Williams had been with him to the Raglan Musk Hall. He proposed that if he (witness) gave him half a.croon he would make it up in weight. Wit ness told Mr. Dewson he knew nothing more about it. The defendant's case baying boon concluded, the learned judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT 01? BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE .1. 0. LEVER. The bankrupt, who was formerly M.P. for Gal way, and who described himself as a general agent, of 114, Cannon Street, City, came up to-day, to pass his last examination, and for the order of discharge. The total liabilities. aro £106,50; and the assets £57,890 ; but as bills against his estate to the extent of £74,470 are not expected to rank on the estate, there is an estimated surplu.3. Ile explains the reason why he disputes this item of £74,470 to be that he was convinced a transatlan ' tic service between Europe and America via Galway would be a great success, and, acting upon this con viction, he was a party to establishing a line of steamers, but he was not liable for the amount now charged against him. The case was again adjourned until a future day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE • CARRIERS' ACT.- INGLE V. LONDON PARCELS DELIVERT COMPANY. TEis was an action to recover compensation for damages sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the alleged negligent carriage by the defendants of a case of wiue. _ Plaintiff deposed that he sent a ca;e of wine by the defendants to a customer, and when it arrived certain bottles way found to be broken. A witness who appeared for the company stated that the case was not in a proper condition when it was deli vered to the company ; and one of the company's men who received it deposed that it could hardly be called a case, as it more nearly resembled a crate. patent case, safety. and has been expressly constructed a for ted Witness—But the bottles would not fit. Ills Ilonour—The company were able to judge of the condition of the case before they agreed to receive it for carriage. If it was not in a fit condi tion they should have objected at the time, and they are in the position of insurers. They cannot now object to the package afte r re ceiving it and signingtha plaintiff t it Nirff withl I 1 food cost. condition,s and nitt4t find for the Verdict for the plaintiff with costs. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A YACHT RACE.—During the Prince Alfred Yacht Club Match from Holy head to Kingstown, on Saturday, a man fell overboarl from the Dions. Everything that men could do was done to save the poor fellow, but the pace at which the yachts were going caused such a time to elapse before the way could be taken off the Done 'and a boat got ant, that the man had sunk before assistince could reach him. Nine started, and the Torch won the first prize, the. Amber Witch the second, and Luna the third. CAPTLiRE OF A GOLDEN EAGLE Ir. A TRAP.-- On Monday, Donald Macfarlane, gamekeeper to Mr. Patrick Small Kier, of Kindrogan, set a large trap to catch a fox on the hill'of Blaveligs, on the estate of Kiudrogan. On going to the trap some time after he had sot it, Mr. Macfarlane, to his great surprise, found that, instead of roynard, a splendid golden eagle had been trapped. The weight of the bird is fully 121bs. From tip to tip of the wings it measured 7 feet 5 inches ; the girth was 2 feet. 4, inches; and from the crown of the head to the tip of the tail tho measurement was 3'feet 5 inches. The head rnea sured•3 inches round, and. the bill was 3 inches in length and 21 round. The bird is'one of the finest specimens pt its hind over seen in the diStriot.—Aunclee Adver•tieer. NEWMARKET. We think here that Miss Harriette, Camball, and the Peer have great chances for the Ascot Stakes; and the three are doing real good work. So are Nine Elms and Sweet Home foe the same race, and Archimedes for the Northumberland Plate. After trotting on the Long Hill and cantering twice, Miss Harriette, Guy of Warwick, and Numa Pompilius went to the Bury Hill and there galloped a mile and three quarters; Troublesome taking Spear de Cha rite, Friponnier, and Veralarn a similar gallop. Qui Vive, Grimston, Pace, and Thunderstorm galloped a mile .and a quarter. Rama led Knight of the Garter and Blinkhoolia a rattling mile and a half spin ; and Indigestion took Bertie, Tempest, Out and Outer, and several others nearly as far, but Hermit merely trotted and aan tered, which locks as if he was not going to Ascot, where he has some valuable engagements. Camball cantered freely, and then galloped over a mile -at a good pace, Jasper, Dalesman, and Lothario going quite a couple of miles, and Suffolk, Restitution, King Alfred, and other two-year-olds from the Baron's stable doing nice steady work. Ilippia exercised steadily. Tourinalin did quite two miles by herself. J. Mann, as usual, was on Tormentor, and she did excellent' work, looking and going uncommonly well, as did Bounceaway. The Rake did nothing but canter. Duke of York and Stephen Langton galloped a mile and a half. Beadle took Flying Scud and Julius a mile and quarter gallop, and Angus, Ninny, and Nike did a mile fast. Archimedes and the Peer had a striding spin of a mile and a quarter ; and Idalia, Feodor, and Vale Royal went nearly two miles, but steadily. King Charming led Nine Elms, Cheltenham, the Earl of Derby, and Beau clere a mile and a half. Sweet 119nr.3 di I a mile and a quarter very fast. ILSL EY. Though Buckfoot is left in the Northumbe.land Plate (Dalby being allowe 1 to stand, so as to pre vent the weights being raised) he has not done a very great deal of work latterly, and appears hig ; and as for Willy, he is still walking. The former, aecomranied by the Plover, cantered twice over a mile each time, and then went nearly a couple of miles, the first long gallop he has had for nearly three weeks, Hatehment and Cap-a-Pie galloped a mile by themselves ; and Gar..kvisure :ed Lord Lyon and Achievement a mile and a ball Elland and Dunsany were walking. Alochtie, Out cast, Sycee, Easby, and several others were in ital work. RICHMOND. Plaudit is still resting, and Bumblekite merely walking about. Newland, Stra,thconan, and Blair gowrie are the only horses in long work at . present ; but Moldavia, Geant des Batailles, and Bob Chambers are doing a fair propall, ortion. They will howaypc, be doing stronger exercise in a day or two, as Newcastle, Beverley, &c., are drawing closer to hand. MIDDLEIIAM. Lady Vane and Harrogate went two canters of a mile each and a gallop of nearly a couple of miles, followed by the Priest. The two former are wanted•for the Northumberland Plate, and the latter is going to Ascot, where we expect they will render a good account of themselves. The Ccr poral, Ty nedide, and the Prelate went on from Epsom to Lambourne, to be ready for Ascot. This morning Windham and Bracken galloped two miles, and did long trotting and cantering exercise, with an eye for the big handicap at Newcastle. Ding Dong is lame; Rabbit Trap has been eased. East Lynn has been sweated. capi LAM BOURNE. Our Ascot hor s e s are progressing well, and it is Totty evid.:nt now that Marksman will probably reserved for the Berkshire gathering, instead of rossing the Engl'sh Channel. Stockstill was lead- thtCordc:ia colt, the Primate, and Mirella two mil?, gallop early this morning, and the Sun flower filly did a mile and a half, steadily, with Marksmen. Sorrierled and Summertime galloped a mile and three quarters. The Prelate, the Cor poral, and TyncdAe had two gentle canters, and a fast mile and a half gallop.' STOCKBRIDGE. This morning we had a splendid lot of horses out at exercise, including Vauban, Lecturer, Miss Have lock-, John Davis, Gomera, Caucasus, Seville, Fair field, Distin, and a lut (if others. Lord Ronald took Vauban, Caucacus, Fairfield, and Distin a mile an,: a half, and Gomera led Seville about the same distance ; but Miss Havelock, John Davis, and Lecturer went over two miles. Harpenden galloped a mile and a half on the Houghton Downs, where he is trained by Tom Day,who fancies him much for the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascpt. Redcap, Pantaloon, Lord Ronald, and Ischia subsequently put the two year olds through their facings, but Lady Elizabeth is certainly the gem of the lot. EPSOM. Balchin is paying great attention to Vigorous, who appears to be " thrown into" the Royal Hunt Cup for next week's Ascot meeting. She is much improved, and this morning galloped a mile and a half in first-class form, at Six Mile Hill. Skirmish was taking Beeswing and Gipsy King along at a rattling pace. John Scott's lot, at Leatherhead, are in good work, and leave for Ascot on Monday, so it is whispered here. Grand Cross and Tarabau galloped two miles this morning, as did Westwick, but the rest did under that amount. AIARLBOROUGII. The Tyfield nags get out early now, but very few of them aro in long work. Captain Kidd and Dragoon were absent this morning, and Brada mante was restricted to trotting and walking. Adam Bede has done nothing beyond walking exer cise all the week. Savernake, accompanied by Staghound and led by Whalebone, galloped a couple of miles, at a good pace ; and Overture, Pintail, Dulcimer, the two Mayonaise fillies, Pepper's Ghost, Lord Paramount, the Splitvote colt, and the Flutter colt went a mile and a half gallop. The two-year-olds were doing over a mile each, and pretty fast. LEWES. Owain Glyndwr galloped a mile and three-quar ters over Lea Bottom at daybreak, and Sidewind took Thalia, Gilead, and Pakrita a mile and a half. The Vixen colt followed Foresight a similar length to the latter quartette. Longdown was doing duty at Michell Grove for Denmark, Uphus, and a lot of other useful ones. The principal two year olds were being schooled by Indian Star and Gipsy Queen. F INDON. Osiregor and Forest King were merely trotting this morning, but Acim t galloped a mile and three quarters fast with Zeriobia. Lictor and Limner went over a mile, at a good pace. The rest took fair amount of exercise. EftTIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. MEETING THIS D.Y. The spring general meeting of this association was held at Willis's Rooms to-day ; his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. His ROYAL HIGIINESS, in opening the proceed ings, congratulated the meeting on the fact that although the association was only a short time in existence, the fund for prizes this year had been increased to RlO,OOO, of which £250 would be appropriated to prizes for the Belgiaa volunteers, who were expected to comp to this country to the number of about eleven hundred; and who were entitled to be received with hospitality from the way in which the English volunteers had been treated in Belgium. Tie expressed a hops and wish that the people of this country would receive these foreigners in a spirit corresponding to that in which their countrymen had been received. A vute of thanks to his Royal Highness terminated the proceedings. Bank of England Itoturns,—This Evening. An Account, pursuant to t; enp. 32, for the week ending' le Act 7th and Bth Victoria.

MANNERS said ho could not take upon hini- Leif to giva directions for the preparation of fresh plans; sped ally a, a groat deal of work had been done, The whole of the subject would be raised in discussion to morrow. • • FEVER IN THE MAURITIUS. Mr. J. A. SMITH asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the statement which had ap-. peered in several of the papers in reference to the outbreak of yellow fever in the Mauritius is well founded; and, if so, whether the unusual rate of mortality reported had occurred. And, whether any steps had been taken to draw the attention of the Government to the possible extension of the disease to India ? Mr. ADDEEtLEY said no despatch had been re ceived. The intelligence came by private letter, but he had reason to believe the report was too true. The letter stated that, 250 deaths had oc curred in Port Louis alone. Up to tho data of the letter ho believed 13,000 deaths bad taken place in a popu lation of 300,090. Medicines bad been sent and the troops marched to a healthy situation. Yellow fever, until tho present outbreak , had never before a pp eare d east of the Cape. The Government were in exp!ctation of despatches every Si - r S. NORTHCOTn said ho had telegraphed to India, directing every precaution to be taken to prevent the fever spreading in that direction. VICTORIA PARK. - - In reply to Viscount ENFIELD, Lord J.

PAKINGTON said he was inform,' that all the money duo in 1861 had been paid. £O) of that duo in 1863 was to be paid to-morrow, but with respect to that for 1866 none had been paid, bee 'use none had been ap plied for. That was the cause of the delay. THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN. Mr. MONK asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether ho had any information confirming 'the report that was in circulation that Juarez had ordered the Em peror Maximilian to be shot ? Lord STANLEY said he had no such information, and with respect to the alleged capture of the Emperor all that was known was what had appeared in the newspapers, and - in those reports there were two contradictory state ments.

PATTEN hoped it would be taken into considera. tion before the house - was called upon to consider the schedulos of the bill. uld fbanne t M xtfe eno divideder: hte .. iit l nnt : tayt hio D Ge aect E esaci vrno L ot thoughtaTeuLirtpusosaeconsider bt o;ng.boroughs eseoisud(t gave rdh i oo t st:h w nt teliseoah: distribution )oti t hhb h heuab e ttei respect obwnicwith l greatest ltoehfasrstorlheyeaosttu i p ( onde p otd o t r ivs t n- - b t ° o the franchise could go forward to another place, and then they would have time to delibera'ely discuss that relating to the distribution of seats, which they had nol. vet done. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said ho would read the addition ho proposed to make to the clause. The right hon. gentleman then read a kind of preamble, which recited that, in consequence of the reports of com missions appointed to investigate the charges of bribery made against the electors of Totnes, Great Yarmouth, Re;gate and Lancaster, and then s aid ho p ro p osed to preface the clause with that introduction. The motion for postponement was withdrawn, and Mr. BAXTER moved an amendment to the clause to the effect that Lancaster and Great Yarmouth should retain one member each. Sir R. BOWYER said he had a motion on the paper for the striking out of the clause altogether, as lie con sidered it a great hardship that a number of persons who were not guilty of bribery should be punished for those who had committed that offence. (LETT SITTING.) SIATE OF TRADE• BELFAST, May 28.—Flax. —During the past week there was very little offered for sale in the markets of this province; with the exception of Strabane and Armagh, there were about 150 tons offered for sale in the former town inclusive of what was offered in the stores, and au advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. was readily obtained. Yarns--There has been a considerable business transacted in this depa rtment, especially in tows, which have been in full request. Spinners are not willing to contract for future de livery unless an advance in prices be made. Stocks are low. More activity in demand from the Con tinent. Linens brown handloom.—Linen hand kerchiefs are in fair request, all other descriptions of handloom goods arc conaparativel? neglected. For power-loom goods, with the exception of drill; and light linens for bleaching, demand may be said to be dull. Linens bleached and finished—Trade with America continues as last reported. Stocks are increasing in the bleach greens. NOTTINGHAM, 29th.—The condition of the lace trade continues such as to prohibit the idea of any great improve:nent for some time to come. Yarns are still very high in price, and show scarcely any signs of becoming lower. The fancy branch, which should just now be active, is very flat, the only goods in request being for trimming purposes. In thedemand for shawls no alteration has taken place, and hair nets remain about the same. The hosiery branch is looking up, and should the fine weatlm which at present prevails continue it will doubtless become increasingly active. " Hang" throughout the country are well employed.
