The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not tingham have remained moderately active ; and in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton little change of importance Can be reported.

The value of the British Funds is still creeping uPwards, but there is very little business, and the ! i ' l e is chiefly attributable to bona fide purchases for investment.

The joint deputation from both Houses of the Hungarian Diet yesterday presented the address to the Emperor remonstrating against the applica tion of the new army law to Hungary. Count Cziraky, Vice-President of the Upper House, ad dressed his Majesty as follows: " Your Apostolic Majesty,—An unbroken series of laws passed under the glorious rule of your Majesty's predeces sors testifies to the legislative influence the Estates of the kingdom of Hungary have always exercised upon the settlement and opportune modification of tho defensive system. The army order issued upon the 28th December last, with obligatory extension to ovr fatherland, and to come in force fram the time of publication, has therefore imposed upon the Estates aid representatives in delibera tion assembled the duty of unanimously expressing their constitutional scruples in a most respectful address, which I have herewith the honour to lay before your Majesty." The Vice-President of the Lower House, Count Julius Andrassy, said : "Your Apostolic Majesty,—l have the honour to submit to your Majesty the most respectful address of the Estates and representatives in deliberation assembled, with the submissive request that your Majesty will graciously deign to receive it with royal goodness, and take into considera tion the constitutional scruples of the nation." The Emperor replied : " I entertain the hope that the royal rescript I shall shortly issue will yet - novo the scruples expressed in the addiebb just laid befdre mo. lioulo you. follow-inombern until then of my royal grace, as also that I declare myself ready to fulfil the wishes of the country as soon as we shall have succeeded, by mutual confidence, in removing the difficulties opposed to the formation of a respectable Hun garian Ministry."

HER MAJESTY'S STAG-HOUNDS.—This pack met on Friday last at East Hampstead, being the first run since the set in and break up of the frost. There was a first class field out, and some bold riders, who enjoyed a first class run. Tho ground was heavy and holding. The famous deer Lily was uncarted at Eastharnstead, and after a good run went away through the park to the forest, crossed the rail near to Wokingham, and was taken in a pond at Bearwood, after a capital run of an hour and a half, where she was drowned. MR. EYRE AND THE JAMAICA COMMITTEE. --A rumour has reached us that a serious legal hitch has most unexpectedly arisen with regard to the prosecution of Mr. Eyre by the Jamaica Committee. Its exact nature has not been allowed to transpire, but it is reported to be of sunk a character as may not only compel the agitators to desist from extracting funds to attack an officer and servant to the Queen, but may enable Mr. Eyre to indict those pro moting it for conspiracy. Certain statutes are said to have been overlooked by those who drew up the case for coun sel's opinion, which have a most direct bearing upon the above points.—The John Bull. THE REGENT'S PARK CALAMITY.—AII further operation s as to dragging the lake are at an end. The work for digging 'ho trench for running the water is completed, but it is almost certain that there are no more bodies to be recovered, the draining will probably not be proceeded with until after the meeting of Parliament, when it is un derstood the question as to the expediency of raising the level of the bottom will be considered. SIR R. PEEL AND MS CONSTITUENTS.—Sir R. Pool, Bart., M.P., has issued a circular, inviting his con stituents and friends to meet him next Thursday evening, at the Town-hall, Tamworth, to hear from him an address on " The Church as established by law ; its rates, fees, and management of chanties in relation to the public, and more particularly to the working classes and their institutions with an insight into the management of savings banks." PUGNACITY OF FRENCH PARTRIDGES.—In the last season some red legs (French partridges) located in Sur rey, and at Honey they were preserved. During the snow birds resorted to the woods and coverts in search of barries and other food, and there was continued fighting between the English and French partridges; since the thaw many of the former have been picked up dead, and several coveys of Euglish birds have been driven off the manor by their opponents.

Only that one of the delinquents made some mistake before, which were not discovered by the Jockey Club stewards, but by courts of law and police cola :s (some of them " mistakes in age" like the " soiled Dove"), we might hope the Commander-in-Chief would pass over the present scandal, though it is said he is going to pursue au opposite course. When a General is warned off the Heath at Newmarket it is as well for his own sake, perhaps, and certainly it is for the credit of the British army, that he should have no chance of appearing in the field. —Array and Navy Gazette.

MARK LANE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, for which the demand ruled heavy, on lower terms, Barley, oats, and other kinds of produce, moved off heavily at barely stationary prices. On the Continent the sale for wheat has fallen off, and the late advance on the quotations has not been supported. In America the value of produce still rules very high. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon-, dou last week were :-12,327 quarters of wheat; 7,179 barley, 19,663 oats, 205 peas, 1,117 tares, 1,500 linseed 2,818 rapeseed, 30 maize, 325 aundries, 373 seeds, and 2,952 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate, and but few samples were received in good condition. Even good and fine samples wero very inactive, mid the quotations wero l.s. to 2s. per quarter lower than on Monday last. For damp produce the trade was heavy in the extreme, at a reduction in value of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. With foreignwheat the market was fairly supplied. The demand,was in asluggish:state for all descriptions, and prices gave way to the extent of ls. to 2s. per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain commanded but little atten tion, and wheat declined in value is per quarter. - _ The supply of Euglish barley on sale was very mode rate—of foreign good. Good and fine malting produce sold slowly at the rates of Monday last. For inferior barley the trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Malt was in slow request at previous quotations. The market was moderately supplied with oats. In the demand for all descriptions there was a great want of activity. Nevertheless, the quotations were without change from Monday last. Beans were in good supply, and the trade ruled heavy at a decline in prices of 2s. per quarter. The trade for peas was very dull. Grey qualities de clined in price is, per quarter, but in other kinds no altera tion took place. _ . The demand for flour was in a sluggish state. The quotations were unaltered from MoncUy last.

Tkero was about an average supply of foreign stock on offer hero to-day for the time of year, in fair condition. The trade was heavy, at depressed currencies. Compared with Monday last the supply of beasts from our own grazing districts was on the increase. From Ire land and Scotlane the receipts were very moderate. The quantity of meat on sale in Nowgate and Leadenhall being extensive, and the weather very mild, the demand for al breeds of beasts was heavy, at, compared with this day se'nnight, a decline in the quotations of fully 4d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. The generality of the stock was good. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1.800 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scot land, 205 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 140 oxen. The show of sheep was very limited, nevortheiess all breeds met a heavy inquiry, at a reduction in prices of 4d per 81bs. The best Downs and half-brods realised 5s Sd to 6s per Blbs. The supply was mostly in good condition. Calves were in short supply, and sluggish request, on easier terms. The top figure was 5e 6cl per 81bs. Pigs commanded very little attention, on lower terms.

A BRUTAL AND WORTHLESS HUSBAND.—David Newman, a rough-looking fellow, was charged with assaulting Mar garet, his wife. Complainant said that hearing on Saturday night that her husband was drunk, and dreading violence from him, sho thought she had better keep out of his way and re main where sho was employed, but he sent there at twelve at night and insisted upon her coming home, and when she did so he seized her, threw her about with great vio lence, and kicked her repeatedly. Defendant—l should like her to show her marks. I couldn't havo kicked her. It's all wrong about my ill using her. The wife—He is under bail now. Defendant—No, I ain't ; it's out. The landlady of the house where defendant lodges said that she saw defendant lift his foot to strike his wife, and heard her fall and cry out. Mr. Selfe—Does he often ill use her ? Landlady—Very often, and she is really a very hard working, quiet woman, with three children. A Policeman—be used to live next door to me. Ile is the greatest brute out. The Landlady—l have soon her bruise from ono of the kicks he gave her. Luby (one of the summoning officers)—l have brought him before you twice on warrants. lie had a mouth, 1 think, last time. Defendant—l have not done any damage at any time. They're all on to ino ; it puts me in mind of the wolf and the shepherd-boy. Mr. Selfe—And you're the shepherd boy, I suppose. (Laughter.) DJfondant—Well, I don't know about that. Everybody ought to mind their own business ; that's enough for them. Mr. Selfo—l have got to mind other people's business as well as my own, and yours amongst others. (To the wife)—Do you work for your family ? The Wife—l have supported the children and him for eleven years; ho has done no work for a month. Mr. Selfe (to defendant)—Yo u are a drunkard and coward and lazy loper, without any apparent redeeming quality. The fact of your wife supporting herself and children removes the difficulty we frequently feel in com mitting husbands for their brutality. You are committed to prison for three months. 91 II 51 L 6 32 35 34 37 13) 131 87 8) 18 19 10 LO 123 124 87 63 53 .54 130 13Z 1 1 %pi it 1?1 , 1, 125 11 11} 03 95 39 40 4 18 106 107 66 67 101 103 35 36 10 11 p 1 120 122 1 2p 1 2p 74 76 114 118 148 152 48 60 73 71 9 10 150 253 3 ; 96 98 91.

CORONER'S INQUEST. THIS DAY. The inquest on the unfortunate persons who perished by the late terrible a ccident in the Regent's park was resumed at the Marylebone Court-house this morning. Inspector Conder stated the number of constables employed in the park on the day in question, and a witness named Archer also gave his version of the scene caused by the breaking of the ice. A gentleman (Dr. Sylvester) attended, and de monstrated to the jury a most successful means of restoring animation after the appearance of death has set in from drowning. Mr. Edwards, the superintendent of the park, was re-examined, and, in answer to the questions of the coroner, said that no missing bodies had been found since they last met. Every part of the water had been'dragged twice over, and he felt confident that no other bodies remained in the lake. The men bad commenced preparations for running off the water, but the operation had been stopped, on the suppo sition that no bodies remained there. Mr. Douglas, the master of the workhouse, stated that he also was of opinion that all had been re covered, as no further inquiries had been made. He had twenty or thirty letters from the country with respect to missing persons, but they could not by any means be connected with the accident in the park. By a Juror—What was the ice broken for round the edges? Witness—To protect the waterfowl solely. John Stewart, gardener to Mr. Burton, South Villa, Regent's-park, said he cut the ice away from the edges to prevent people taking a narrow cut to get to the broad water. It was done in the pre sent instance on the Monday and Tuesday, on which day he observed distinctly that the water had not sunk at all. The ice that was broken was pushed under the unbroken surface. When the ice was broken it floated on the water, clearly showing that there was no vacuum. He did not think that the breaking of the edges of the ice had anything to do with the accident. He thought it was altogether owing to the thinness of the ice. To have supported the number of people upon it it ought to have been twice the thickness. Mr. Earnest Bunsen said he witnessed the acci dent. He arrived opposite the south island where he saw three men chopping up the ice. Three young gentlemen from his house were on the ice, and he gave directions for them to be called off, as he did not like the appearance of the ice. His servant told him the men were breaking up the ice because the water had sunk. He did not like the appear ance of it, and therefore he was anxious his young friends should be got off. This was done, and the witness went on to state what was done after the ice broke. It is the system in the Bois de Boulogne to break the ice round the edges before the people are allowed to go on and skate. This was done, because the supply of water was irregular. His sou had told him that be was at the ice at 10 o'clock in the morning, and again after the accident, and that at that time the water had sunk several inches. The Coroner—That could not have been the case according to the evidence of Mr. Edwards. The witness then went on to describe the blocking up of a pipe connected with the lake near York gate as being perhaps one of the causes that led to the accident by diminishing the supply of water. Mr. Edwards said the pipe in question had nothing to do with the ormamental water. It was merely used in the service to procure water to distribute over the roads in summer. He thought the Con tinental plan was very good in preventing accidents from the breaking of the ice. Of course the police regulations ought to be very strict. The Coroner asked if the ice was tested in Berlin previous to the public being let on ? Witness said he could not answer that question. In certain places in Berlin a mark is made, and the passing of that point is made a trespass. Such a regulation, he thought, would work well in this country. Alfred Smith, of 8, Burton-crescent, said he went on the ice at about half-past two in the afternoon, at which time he knew it was unsafe. The ice he considered was the worse for wear, and it appeared to get worse while he was on it. He was between the two islands when the ice broke. The time would be a quarter to four, as his watch stopped at that time. He got immersed. The people seemed to disappear mostly in the centre. He was standing some distance off, not thinking the ice would give way where he was standing, but he saw a kind of wave come and broke all up into pieces. When the ice broke he went on his knees, and eventually stepped into the water as comfortably as possible under the circumstances. He struck out as well as he could, and got to shore without wetting his face. He thought the ice broke in consequence of its being used up. He was cautioned by the Humane Society's men two or three times that the ice was unsafe. He thought the men of the society certainly did their duty promptly and well under the trying cir cumstances in which they were placed. Mr. Bunsen also said that during the accident he witnessed the whole of the efforts made to save life, and he felt certain that not one in authority in the park at the time seemed to " have lost his head." He thought that the means of throwing the ropes was very primitive. The lines themselves used on the occasion seemed to him to be too heavy. Mr. Young, the secretary to the Humane Society, said that any kind of line would have to be weighted at the end, and supposing a lighter line was used and a greater weight at the end, if in throwing it the head struck the man in the water and sent him down a verdict of manslaughter would be the immediate result. The best rope was always selected by the society for its apparatus. A gentleman here exhibited a plan for rescuing life from drowning by means of fixed lines at either side of the water. Mr. Hollis, a gentleman, who lost his son by the accident, came forward and stated it to be his opi nion that the ice was broken up by the explosion of noxious vapour generated beneath it by the decayed vegetable matter at the bottom of the lake. A number of witnesses were in attendance for examination, but their evidence related to matters which have already been spoken to before the Coroner. It is uncertain whether the inquiry will conclude to-day. SIR J.

ANNOYING THE ATTENDANTS AT A CHAPEL.—Three lads, named Wm. Woodman, David Mar, and Wm. Moss, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, the ;first lad named, with gambling with cards f l or money, and the last-named with playing at pitch and toss, near the Baptist Chapel, Meard street, Soho. Police-constable Jazarus Howles, 95 0, said that on the previous afternoon he saw Woodman and Mar and some other lads near the Baptist Chapel in Meard-stroet, and one of the lads dealt out some cards. Mar then said to Wood man, "Put your money on," and while Woodman was in the act of doing so he (Howles) seized Woodman and Mar and took them into custody. Inspector Harrison said that the persons attending the chapel were much annoyed by the lads gambling near the chapel, and although some of the lads had been convicted by his worship, it had had no effect. Police-constable Kent, 191 0, proved assisting in taking the lads into custody, and also taking Moss into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was bound to pay some respect and attention to the inhabitants of a neighbourhood which was annoyed in such a manner. Tho prisoner had not gambled, but had picked out a place near a chap,' and annoyed the persons. He should fine them 40s. each. CONFESSION OF ROBBING IN COURT.—Mr. Liscombe, a draper's assistant, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being in the unlawful possession of a waistcoat piece. George Herbert, assistant to Mr. Starling, pawnbroker, of 68, Great Portland-street, said that on Saturday even ing the prisoner offered the waistc oat piece in pledge, and as he did not give a satisfactory account of how he became possessed of it, and as it was a first-rate article he had him taken to the station. He said that he bought the article in the streets. If the prisoner would satisfy his worship as to the ownership he was willing to give it. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether he was willing to state how he became possessed of it. Prisoner—Well, I stole it. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. Prisoner—Will you take bail? Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to take bail. LAW INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 26. -~- COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Mellor, and Mr. Justice Lush.) The Court took the Crown paper to-day. THE QUEEN V. WHITELET.-MARINE-STORE DEALERS, TIIIEVES, AND STOLEN GOODS. This was a case of vast importance to marine store dealers in purchasing stolen property. The decision of the Court upsets the course pursued by the metropolitan magistrates for the last eighteen or twenty years. The case came before the Court on an appeal from quarter sessions confirming a conviction by Mr. d'Eyncourt whereby the de fe;idaut was sentenced to two mouths' imprison ment with hard labour. The defendant was charged with having in his possession, at his shop in St. Pancras, 1721b5. of lead, which lead was then and there reasonably suspected of having been stolen, and the defendant not giving a satisfactory account of how he came by the said property, the magistrate convicted him of a misdemeanour. The lead was stolen from an unoccupied house by several lads, who took it in a barrow to the defendant's shop, where he purchased it for 10s. On the same evening the lads weir apprehended, and from what they stated the police went to the defendant and made inquiries, when he first denied and after wards admitted he had purchased it for 65., but afterwards said 10s. Before the magistrate the de fendant's solicitor contended that as the lead had been clearly stolen the defendant was not liable on charge of unlawful possession of property supposed to have been stolen, but that, if the defendant had committed any offence, it was receiving goods knowing them to have been stolen, for which he ought to be committed, and tried by a jury. The magis trate, however, convicted under the 24th sec. of the 2d and 3d Vic., cap. 71, which conviction the jus tices on the appeal confirmed. Mr. Metcalfe appeared as counsel in support of the conviction ; Mr. Poland conducted the case for the appellant. Mr. Metcalfe said the conviction in this case took place under the 2d and 3d Vic., cap. 71, sec. 24, and the 2d and 3d Vic., cap. 47, sec. 66. It was contended for the appellant that he had been ille gally convicted, " because he was not in possession of goods reasonably supposed to have been stolen," but of goods actually stolen, and there fore, if any offence had been committed, it was one that should have been tried by a jury, and not one for which he could be summarily convicted. Other points had been raised, but the important point to be argued was, whether a person charged with having in his possession or conveying in any manner, applied to the person who had stolen the goods, or the person who was afterwards found to be in possession of them. lie must admit that in the decision in the case of Mr. Hadley, relating to the sacks found in his mill, this Court held that pos session meant in the possession of the person con veying, and that the section of the in 3 actd i i r d not apply in the case of the sacks found • warehouse. Justice Mr. section Mellor said d d t would no a appear o fr n o l m a r n h e a - t decision that store dealers in actual opoovsseeysisoiognt,hbouatrttoiolet.he pos session of the persons c The Lord Chief Justice said that marine-store c omplete immunity if that were tdheealoeasrsow o uld enjoy case. Mr. Metcalfe said that would be so where evidence was not sufficient to charge the marine store deale as a receiver of stolen property. If the court should decide that the act did not apply to such cases as this, it would be a grand day for the receivers of stolen property in the East-end of London, and it would have the effect of reversing the practice that had been pursued by the police magistrates for the last 18 or 20 years, in convicting marine-store dealers under the 24th section for the unlawful pos session of goods which were reasonably supposed to have been stolen. The Lord Chief Justice, without calling on Mr. Poland, said it was the 66th section of 2d and 3d Vic., c. 47, which made the offence under the 24th section of the 2d and 3d Vic., c. 71. It was a great pity the law did not meet such a case as the present, but it was to be hoped the law in this respect would soon be altered. The conviction must be quashed. The other cases disposed of did not present any feature of general public interest.

Another " Act" of justice in the " Soiled Dove' case h as been meted out to the principal performers by the stewards of the Jockey Club, and it only remains now for the com mittee at Tattersalrs to decide respecting the bets in this unfortunate affair. Admiral Rous, one of theadjudicators in question, has already expressed a decided opinion on the subject, which simply amounts to this, that any ono who has made any wagers about any race this mare won last season will have to refund the amount he received, and also the amount he risked provided she had lost. One of your Saturday contemporaries says, "she was foaled either at General Shirley's place, near Rugby, or at his training establishment at Hednesford, and adds, "One link in the chain of evidence is missing, bow and when Soiled Dove was conveyed to Belgium." This is asserting facts, relative to which there is not the slightest evidence, and I have as much right to believe, on the contrary, that she was foaled abroaduntil proofs are forthcoming. Furthermore, I contend no satisfactory decision can be properly come to until her birth-place is substantiated. Let any person of impartial mind study the rules now in force, and whilst there is a doubt if the filly was not foaled abroad, say the Jockey Club or their officials have not neglected their duty by allow ing the mare to start at Newmarket the first place where she made her appearance—and acted in direct contravention to Rules 15 and 16. They ex ercise the most arbitrary power according to these rules ; but if it is proved the mare was foaled out of England they are certainly responsible for the loss inflicted upon the public for their laches in this instance. If all bets wore declared off the innocent and bona fide backers of this filly would not have so much cause to complain, but when the Admiral insists upon enforcing all the penalties at taching to Rule 17, it is natural for those parties inte rested to say, "Had your other rules been enforced this could not possibly have occurred," and he must see the in vidious position in which the Jockey Club are placed." The weights for the principal Spring Handicaps have made their appearance in the "Calendar" simultaneously, and display the usual amount of ability on the part of their manipulators, but some of the estimates of the capabilities of different animals formed by the handicapper of the Epsom handicaps, to my notion, show a good deal of pre judice, but it must suffice at the present time if I instance the weights apportioned to Copenhagen and Gretna for the City and Suburban. The first-named horse is a maiden 6 yr old, belonging to Mr. H. Hill, whose best perform ances were running third for the Lincolnshire Handicap last year with 7st 121 b on his back ; and two months later carrying Bst 21b, an indifferent fifth for this race. The same handicapper, I believe, had to weight him towards the end of the season for the Cambridgeshire Stakes, in which he gave him Bst 81b, and now, let me hope for the sake of his owner, as a climax he has to carry Bst 131 b, other:- wise another defeat or two will bring him to the top weight. Gretna, 4 yrs old, is handicapped at 6st 41b, consequently has to receive 371bs. from the horse just alluded to, but. except having run half a dozen times as a three-year-old very indifferently—probably out of all form—there can be no excuse for placing such a ridiculous weight upon her. In 1865 (2 yrs old) she was successful six out of the twelve times she started, her first win being a Maiden Plate at Ascot, in which a field of 21 horses were behind, amongst others Ambition and Lecturer. The next stake placed to her credit is the Grange Park Stakes, at Winchester, wherein she beat Abergeldie and the colt by Vengeance out of Midia at even weights and with the greatest ease. Sho next, allowing for difference of sex, gave Redan 21b and a beating at Lewes, following it up by winning the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ox ford, from Miss Roland and Rama, one being in receipt of 21b. and the other 71b. from her. She afterwards won a sweepstakes at Weymouth, defeating seven others, and finished the season by winning the Ash down Stakes at Lanabourne in a canter. Every one who enters his horse for a handicap does so naturally with the full expectation of being dealt with impartially; but many owners now-a-days complain bitterly of the apparent favouritism shown towards some stables, and, as they con sider, unjust weight given to their horses. It was my intention to allude to several animals which look favourably in for the different Spring Handicaps, but as the acceptances will be declared in a day or two, I shall then be better able to judge of the probable intentions of owners.

She experienced a succession of heavy gales from Malta to the Channel. The British barque Sea Wave, from London for Batavia, was spoken on the 11th by the ship Negotiator 30 miles west of Lindsay Island, with a signal of distress flying. The Sea Wave had lost her rudder and sustained other damages, and asked for assistance. The Negotiator attempted to tow her, but the hawser breaking, was compelled to abandon her on account of the weather. The British barque Prince Albert, of London, sprung a leak, and was aban. doned by her crew the same day. The British ship Anne Buckle, of Newcastle, was wrecked on the Barbary coast on the 15th, and it was reported at Tangiers that she had broken up on the 17th, and the crew were drowned. A heavy gale visited Gibraltar on the 17th, and several vessels were driven ashore, includi ng t h e British ships Sweden , Berbice, Jane and Rosali e , and the Fanny.
