IVIGNT]Y 11"RKET AND COMMEROIU INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The official liquidator of the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East has issued divi dend notices of the first payment of 10s. in the Pound, payable on the 19th, 20th, and 21st Feb ' ruary.

There is very little speculation in the market for t he English Funds, and the operations for trans fer are too limited to produce animation.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, beforo Mr. Justice Byles and a Common Jury.) WINYARD V. MARKS—FALSE IMPRISONMENT. This was an action for false imprisonment, and the facts, as deposed by the plaintiff are as follows: —The plaintiff, Mrs. Elizabeth Winyard, said that she was the wife of William Winyard, an engineer, living at 85, Euston-road. On Saturday, the 29th of September last she went out with her daughter between eleven and twelve in the day to make purchases, and amongst other places went to the shop of the defendant, who sells bacon, cheese, and ',eggs. It was a double-windowed shop, and there were two counters, at one of which the bacon was sold. She took a piece of bacon from 'outside the window and went to bacon counter, but there was no one serving then at the time. She then went to the other counter and purchased some eggs, and she placed the bacon on the top of her basket and went outside the shop, when she gave the eggs to her daughters. She wished to have the bacon weighed. The defendant's man, who was outside, asked her if she had a piece of bacon, and she answered, Yes ; and here is the money to pay for it." Mr. Harks came out of the shop and said, "Holloa, what is this ? ' At this time she had 2s. 6d. and 2s. in her hand, and the value of the bacon was 2s. 9d. Mr. Marks then sent for a policeman, and without listening to anything she had to say, gave her into custody on a charge of stealing the bacon. She was taken through the streets to the police_ station, and thence to Olerkenwell police-court. She had one sovereign, Bs. 6d. in silver, and some coppers when she was taken in charge, and she had been for two years a frequent customer of the defendant's. The magistrate dis missed the charge. I_The case was not concluded when we wont to press.] LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, (This Day.) Market quiet, but rather steady. Sales pro bably 8,000 bales. MARKETS.--This day. MARK-LANE. The fresh arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent, coast wise and by land carriage, were but middling both as regards tho quantity received up and the quality of the supply. Although the supply was short, it was quite equal to the demand, the trade for all descriptions being very quiet, at Monday's decline in value. There was a fair show of foreign wheat on the stands Even the finest samples were neglected, and in inferior sorts very Mlle was doing. The prices realised were about equal to those current at the close of business on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain commanded but little atten ion, at about late rates. There was a tolerably good show of barley, chiefly foreign produce. All descriptions were difficult to sell, at he late decline in prices. Malt was dull, but not cheaper. In oats the transactions were on a limited scale, at late currencies. Very few English samples were included in the supply, which was fairly extensive. Beats and peas were dull, at Monday's decline in prices. Flour moved off slowly, on former terms. Seeds were quiet, but rates ruled firm. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Other creditors of the debtor had executed the deed, and the liquidators wished to obtain the sanction of the chief clerk (Mr. Berkeley), acting in the matter, to the proposal. An afficjatt•was produced to him. Tho chief clerk (Mr. Berkeley) said it was a voluntary winding up, and the liquidator had power to accept an offer made on the part of the debtor if he thought proper. In support of the application, it was urged that the composition under the deed would be bene ficial to the estate and should be taken. The chief clerk said he must have an affidavit and facts disclosed which would satisfy him as the parties applied that it would be advantageous to enter into the arrangement, and on that affidavit the application would be granted. The Bremen ship Maria, Capt. Meyer, is shortly expected at Ragusa, with the library, paintings, and other effects of the Empress Charlotte. The cargo consists of 622 chest, insured for £20,000. AN OLD WOXAN'6 DARK MOON.---On Monday Police-sergeant Bolton received information that the sum of £6O had been stolen from the house of Mr. Martland, farmer, Burscough. The circumstance caused a great sensation in the district, and suspicion fell upon the servant girl, who had that morning left her place. It appears that the money was Mrs. Martland's " darkmoon" —that is, money saved unknown to her husband—which she had deposited in a bag in the wall under the stairs. The police-officer at once made a search, and, after removing several bricks, found fragments of a bag and £ll in gold. The officer pursued his course, and after wards found £6l in different parts of the wall, to the great delight of the husband. Mrs. Martland appears to have put Indian meal in the bag to keep the gold from rusting, as she said, and the rats had thus been tempted to run away with . ,her "dark moon."— Wigan Examiner. The Spectator last Saturday, under the heading " Yankee Pastimes," gave an amusinn account of the rational mode adopted, to employ the long evenings, of the New England winters. When farm work is suspended and mills run short time, the young people, who have plenty of leisure thrown on their hands, chiefly study, they go to even ing schools or learn to the best of their ability at home. Fairs are held for charitable, patriotic, and other purposes, and weekly meetings are assembled either at private houses or at a room hired for the purpose, for work upon articles to be sold at the coming fair. This gives encouragement and spirit, and far more pleasure than for each to ply her needle in her solitary home, especially as the meet ing generally concludes with a dance and modest supper. Spelling matches for prizes are also held. The prize is paid for by a small admission-fee -10 cents. Sleighing and skating parties, base ball, and cricket, are the principal outdoor games, 'THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAUNARY 30, 1867. S a - ARE MARKETS.—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

CRIMINAL CorRT —This 'Day. • OLD COURT. . (Before Mr. 'Justice .Blackbnrn). THE CHARGE OP scrtrilliG THE SHIP SEVERN% Charles William Webb was indicted for feloniously, upon the high sea, casting away and destroying a certain ship called the Severn, with intent thereby to prejudice divers companies and persons who had underwritten certain policies of insurance upon the said ship ; and Thomas Berwick, sailor: Lionel Holdsworth, broker; and Joseph Stansfield Dean, agent, were also indicted for feloniously aiding, abetting, and procuring Charles Webb, to feloniously and maliciously cast away and destroy the said ship. There were also indictments against the pri soners for conspiracy to defraud the London and Caledo nian Marine Iniurance Company, th 3 Friend-in-Need Fire and Guarantee and Accidental Association and divers other companies which had underwritten the ship and freight. The investigation of this case, it will bo recollected, oc cupied many days at the Mansion-house, and the evidence having been published at great length on that occasion, it is unnecessary to repeat it again to-day. The ship was lost off Cape do Verds, in consequence, it was alleged, of certain holes being made in the bottom of the ship. The claims for the amount of the various policies having been sent in, certain suspicious circumstances transpired which led to the apprehension of -the parties now on their trial Holdsworth,' it will be recollected, absented himself from his office in Fenchurch--street, and was afterwards taken into custody in Switzerland and brought to London. Tha Solicitor-General and Mr. Giffard conducted the prosecution; and Sergeant Atkinson and Mr. Ribton de fended the prisoners. There are no less then about 63 witnesses to examine. When the Court adjourned for refreshment, Mr. Justice Blackburne told the jury that from the appearance of the case there was no likelihood of its terminating either to-day or to-morrow, and, as that would render it neces sary for them to be kept together for that time, it would perhaps be as well that they should make their arrange ments accordingly. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) John Wilmot, who stood indicted, upon the coroner's inquisition, with the manslaughter of the unfortunate per sons who lost their lives by the falling of a girder upon one of the carriages of the Metrepolitan Railway, surren dered to take his trial. .. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecutipn, said he did not intend to offer any evidence against the defendant, in consequence of the death, since his committal, of the man Chaney, who stood charged with the prisoner. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, who appeared to. defend till) prisoner, said he had to inform the court that Wilmot bore a very high character for care and good conduct ! and that previous to his entering the service of the Thames Iron Company he had been employed by several of the most eminent engineers in London. Mr. Justice Keating said ho had read through the depo sitions, and it appeared to him the parties who had charge of the signals were the most culpable, and he hoped that great precaution would be taken for the future. A verdict of not guilty was returned, and the prisoner was accordingly liberated. . THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) John Adams pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously aiding a certain prisoner, to wit, one Philip Bovill, a prisoner in the Rouse of Correction, Cold bath-fields, to which he had been lawfully commited. The Recorder sentenced him to a aionth's imprisonment. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) William Moulton, a sailor, was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment for a robbery with violence on Levy Her bert, and stealing from him money and various articles of wevring apparel. Ann Mahomet, who was also indicted indicted with the prisoner, was sentenced to 9 months' im prisonment. - William Butcher, a soldier, was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment for a robbery With violence on George Doughty. John Bowdy, whe was indicted with the pri soner, was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGERCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—Ann Newman, a woman about 40 years of age, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to strangle herself in a police cell at the Marlborough-mews Police-station. Police-constable James Livermore, 118 C, said that about 12 o'clock last night, the prisoner came up to him iu Oxford-street and asked him the way to the Marlborough mews station, and on his telling her she became verylabu sive and left. While going round his beat he saw her outside the station door in a state of intoxication, and on telling her to go away she made use of very bad language, and ho then took her to the station. Sergeant Rowe, 3C, said the prisonor came to tho sta- Lion and asked to see the inspector. As she had been drinking he told her to come when sober and to go away. She was put out of the station, and subsequently brought by the last ,witness and put into a cell with another female. Shortly after hearing a scream he went to the cell, and found that the prisoner had tied something tightly round her throat. He took it o and left her, telling the other female to warn him if she attempted to do anything to herself again, and also giving the gaoler instructions to keep a watch on her. About a quarter of an hour after there was another alarm, and on going to the cell he found the prisoner had again tied something round her neck so tightly that she was nearly dead. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the sergeant said the pri soner was drunk at the time. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, observing that it had better be marked on the committal that she was a dangerous person.- THAMES. EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF FRA.U.D.—James Bradshaw, aged 52, and who was described as an agent, of No. 15, Ran dolph-street, Camden-road, Holloway, was brought before Mr. Paget, on a warrant granted by Mr. Partridge on the 27th of December last, charged with fraud and conspiracy. Charles Ross and John Leyland were included in the same warrant and are still at large. The three men are charged with having by divers false pretences and subtle devices unlawfully and frau Julontly acquired and obtained 1,400,000 bricks, valued at £1,365, and conspiring together to de fraud Mr:John Peed, of Cambridgeshire.The prisoner is co nnected with a gang o f sw i n dl ers , called the "Forty Thi eves, " and after a success f u l course of most iniquitous frauds he absconded. The bricks were sent from Cambridgeshir e to London by rail, and disposed of below the invoiced price by Bradshaw, Leyland, and Ross. He Assumed the name of Sibley, and went under various disguises from place to place. He was discovered yesterday in a house in Randolph-street by police-sergeant Freeston, No. 58 K. Proeston said that Bradshaw had not left the house in Randolph -street for three weeks, and that while he was concocting his infamous frauds in the Hamlet of Ratcliff ho wore no beard and moustache. Since then he bad cultivated both. The swindlers traded under the name of Bradshaw and Co., Regent's Canal Basin, Ratcliff. The gang obtained good under false pretences from tradesmen in various parts of the metropolis. 1,1,1;. Paget remanded the prisoner. Rewards have boon offered for the apprehension of Ross and Leyland. • REFORM DEirONSTRATION IN EXETER.---It was briefly stated, in The Sun of Tuesday that a Reform demonstration, in connexion with the National Reform League, was held in Exeter on Monday. The working men of that city having been joined by those from other neigh bouring towns, the total number present, we now learn, was about 1,500. In the evening a public meeting was held in connexion with the movement, over which Sir J. Bowring, presided. On the platform were Sir B. Wrey, the Rev. W. H. Bonner (a vice-president of the National Reform League), and a large number of the supporters of the cause: Sir John Bowring, in the Course of a lengthy speech, claimed for the unenfranchised the right to be admitted into the electoral hall. John Bright, the tribune of the people, had heen marked out as a special object of calumny, and he asked the working men never to desert that honest man. (Cheers.) He also extolled Mr. Gladstone, whose name was received with loud applause, and censured the conduct of Mr. Lowe and the Adullamites. Not long since the Tories said the people wore quiet and contented, and that no Reform was therefore wanted, but now the people had become clamorous, earnest, and turbulent, so Reform should not be granted. He urged them not to trust the Tories for any measure of Raform, pointing to their opposition to all Liberal measures hitherto brought for ward as a proof that they would not approach the subject in earnest. Having alluded to the Solicitor -General's views on Reform, and to the "miserable delusion as to the balance of power"— a delusion which he thought was dissipated 50 years ago when the sovereigns and chief diplomatists of Europe met, he said his notion of the constitution was that it was a pyramid of which the people were the base and the Sovereign the apex ; and this pyramid they desired to strengthen by widening its base. Experience had shown that working men, if predominent, would not send ignorant or prejudiced representatives to Parliatnent. He then argued for the ballot as a protection for the voter, contending that it was no more uu-English for a man to register his Par mentary vote in secrecy than for members of clubs and cha ritable institutions to avail themselves of ►he bailot in order to conceal their opinions. At this moment, while 150 millions of human beings were provided with the ballot, in England, where the influence of wealth and title was greater than in any other country, the House of Commons would not make the experiment. The truth was they dare not do it, for it would succeed, and its effect would be the banishment of the Tories and the security of the Govern ment of the people. In conclusion, he hoped that this meeting would show that they were determined to have Reform—efficient, practical, and beneficent Reform. Seve ral speeches wore made, and resolutions approving man hood suffrage and the ballot carried unanimously. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocic. AND STOCKt►.

Adjourned. THE KENTUCKY CHALLENGE. We extract the following from Wilkes', Spirit, of Jan. 19 : —lt will be remembered that in our issue of January 5 we announced that in the next number of the Spirit an offer would appear on the part of Mr. Jerome to run Kentucky against any horse in the world. The race, was to be anywhere from a two-mile dash to four-mile heats, and the stakes from $lO,OOO to $30,000. This statement, we said, was authorised by Mr. Jerome, and WO support nobody really cleated that Not, although it appears that some, whose ignorance and stupidity is just about equal to their impudence, pretended to doubt it, and said that this challenge was all a mistake. It was also declared that Kentucky had no occasion to resort to "bluster." By this we are to infer, we suppose, that the challenges promulgated in old times by eminent turfmen North and South; in England by the owners of Eolipse, The Flying Dutchman, and Gladiateur ; and more recently in this country by Mr. .Alexander, Mr Tra vers, and Mr. Hunter on behalf of Asteroid and Kentucky, were nothing but "blusters ;" furthermore, that when Mr. Jerome contemplated the issue of the challenge for Ken tucky, he meant "bluster." What impudence is this which thus blindly charges the most able, influential, and honour able men upon the turf of this country and England. We care nothing at all for the p re t en d ed doubt of our veracity, because the doubters co u ld not h e l p believing us; but we do care about the fling at turf men who have challenged, or even have contemplated challenging. D y the letter from Mr. Jerome, which fcllows this, it will bo seen that our statement was perfectly correct—that he intended to issue such a challenge, -and authorised us to announce the fact, but after mature consideration has concluded not to do so. This letter is as folluws:— " Head- Quarters of the American Jockey Club, New York, January 14, 1867. "Editor of Wilkes's Spirit.—My dear Sir—You - d i rer , perfectly co:roct in saying in your issue of the i nst. that you were 'authorised to state' that a challenge would be published iu detail in the next number of the paper, to run Kentucky against any horse in the world, any race, from a two mile dash to four mile heats for a 'Large stake. " I did so authorise you to make that e.nnouncement, and at the time it was my intention to issue such a chal lenge. Upon further consideration, however, and mainly for reasons which concern me alone, and therefore need not not be published here, I had decided not to do so. I do not mean by this to create a belielf that I have abso lutely resolved not to run Kentucky in any race. In spite of some obstacles that I now perceive to my doing so witb. convenience, I might be induced to run his in a grea: t match, one worthy of his performances and renown. It may, however, be fully understood that he will w.st be trained again, unless it be for the purpose of running, 'such a match ; and that in no event will he be run for the purses and current prizes of the Jockey Club or a`ly other race meetings. " LEONARD W. 4IROME." Flat Race for £lOO at Lewes. A match between Mr. Paxton's Eastbourne and Mr Tompsett's Lunatic, for £5O a-side, 12st each, came off on Lewes racecourse on Tuesday, and created much interest in the neighbourhood, a large party of ladies and gentlemen being present to witness the encounter. Eastbourne was trained by W. King, of Alfriston, well known as the trainer of Dalby, and for some time the horse had attre.cted as much attention as if he were the veritable Chester Cup hero. Lunatic was prepared on the Telscombe gallops, but from last Thursday he had been exercised under the care of his jockey, Walter Cook, on the Lewes MD. Betting became slightly in favour of Eastbourne when it oozed out that a certain jockey known to fame as George Fordham, who was staying in the neighbourhood, would be entrusted with the mount. Mr. Marcus Verrall acted as judge, and the following was the result of the race:— Match, 50 soya, 10 ft, 12st each ; 2 miles. Mr. Paxton's Eastbourne (G. Fordham ) 1 Mr. Tompsett's Lunatic (W. Cook) 2 Betting-2 to 1 on Eastbourne. The nen-favourite went off like mad to the half-mile post, where Fordham brought up Eastbourne, and after "kidding" at the dis tance, came away opposite the stand, and won by a length. Several well known racing men were present, including Mr. R. Porter and Mr. "Dalby" Bennett. The result of the match was received with loud cheering, and Fordham may claim the honour of having ridden the winner of the firs: Bat race of 1867. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1867. FEBRUARY.

The Bradford Observer of the 24th inst. contains au account of a recent meeting of the town council, when it was decided by a majority of 22 to 11, to purchase one of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s steam fire-engines for the use of the borough. This matter has boon in agitation since last August, wh en an interesting series of competitive trials took place in Bradford. These trials, coupled with a subsequent fall and searching inNestigation into the merits of the various engines, enabled the council to arrive at the above decision. It is expected that other large towns in Yorkshire will follow the example of Bradford, and will, like the metro polis, use steam power instead of manual labour iu the wrvikmg of their fire engines.
