MONEY iCARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. NO change has taken place in the discount mar ket ; the demand is very light, and the supplies con tinue abundant. Greater confidence is observable among capitalists, as they are bringing more money into circulation, and business is steadily though Slowly resuming greater activity. The rates are un changed at 21 / per cent. No gold operations of importance took place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. fhe Colonial Securities Company have issued a report to be presented at the meeting to be held on the 27th instant, in which a dividend is recom mended at the rate of 2f per cent. for the half-year ended 31st December, 1866, together with a bonus of 2 per cent., which, with the interim dividend already paid, is equal to 7 per cent. per annum.

The great English racing carnival for the year 1867 commenced yesterday with very unfortunate weather, and thousands augured a continuation of the rain, at all events, to-day ; but, fortunately, appearances early in the morning favoured a differ ent conclusion. Last night a fine drying wind sprung up, and the Derby Day gave promise to be one of bright sunshine, and thus the hopes of the holiday-seekers rose proportionately high. The visi tors to Epsom by rail and road were early astir, the morning trains by the South-Western and London and Brighton taking away thousands for the glorious Downs at Epsom. The " roadsters" were not deterred by the fear of a wet day, as the usual scene of bustle, practical joking, and confusion occurred at the Elephant and Castle caused by the unusual early arrival of vehicles of all descriptions. There was the aristocratic four-in-hand, the elegant open barouche, with the capacious hamper slung beneath it, charged with chicken, lobster, salad, and champagne almost to bursting ; the trap of the well to-do member of the trading community, containing driver, wife, and family, and the plebeian pleasure van, with more than its usual number of passen gers. The dangers of " The Elephant" ha v i ng been successfully encountered, the travellers pro ceeded on their route in the best possible spirits, despite a sharp shower of rain which fell about half past ten. It fortunately was not of long duration, for a few minutes after the sun shone out again, and, as a natural consequence, up again went the spirits of the elated holiday-makers. Along the Ben nington-road a number of persons assembled to view the interesting and apparently endless string of vehicles, and as the more suburban places were reached a large number of the residents viewed the animated cortege from the windows and the neatly trimmed gardens in front of the houses. Altogether the scene was of the usual description, and, despite the facilities offered by the railways, the number " going by road" seemed to be as great as usual. The stations of the London and South Western, the London and Brighton, and the South-Eastern, at Waterloo, Charing-cross, Victoria, and Lon don-bridge, of course, were all besieged ; but by the admirable arrangements made the vast number of passengers were all accommodated with compa ratively little difficulty. 7IIE REFORM BILL. BIRMINGHAM, Tuesday Night. A meeting of the Liberal Association of this town was held here to-night ; Mr. Thomas Lloyd in the chair. Mr. Alderman IIAwES moved the following re solution That this association records with proud satisfaction the triumphant result of the labours of the Liberal party in amending the Go vernment measure of R e f orm b y settl i ng the b oroug h franchise on the basis of household and lodger suffrage, divested of the trammels as to compound rates and two years' residence, and free from the pernicious consequences of the dual vote, as origi nally embodied in the Ministerial measure." In moving the foregoing, Mr. ilAwKs congra tulated the meeting that the bill, as it stood in re lation to the borough franchise, was more liberal in its character than had been contemplated by Mr. Bright, and was positively revolutionary as com pared with the bill of 1832 —it would raise the con stituency of Birmingham from 15,000 to 50,000. Mr. RADFORD, chairman of the Reform League, seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. The late Dowager-Countess of Camperdown. The lamented countess, who had reached a ripe age, was daughter of the late Sir Hew Dalrymple Hamilton, Bart., and married, Jan. 8, 1805, Robert Dundas Duncan Haldane, Viscount Duncan, after wards first Earl of Camperdown, who died in 1859. The countess was mother of Adam, second earl, who died on the 30th of January of the present year, and was consequently grandmother of the present peer. Scotch society, and especially the Scot in London has sustained a deep loss by her death. She was a remarkable specimen of that type of the Scottish lady which is now passing away. In her younger days, when mingling much in society, she was conspicuous for a graceful and elegant nobleness of character and manner ; and Scotch in all her feelings, she delighted in the use of what with her was a beautiful language, and what in her earlier years was in habitual use by persons of education and fashion. Her house in London was a " trysting place" for all who once had the honour of an introduction ; and there at all times of the day might be found many of those who are supposed to give a tone and temper to the upper ranks of society, and who, bringing their news to the happy old countess, went away amply rewarded by the anecdotes and recol lections which her never-failing memory poured forth. Whig or Tory, rich or poor, found alike a ready welcome ; and her poor and needy country men well knew the way to Wilton-crescent, feel ing well assured that there was a benevolent heart ready to sympathise with all his sorrows and all his wants. Somefew years since ehe purchased the beau tiful villa of St. Anne's, at North Berwick, trans porting to her humbler neighbours there all that kind liness of manner which had gained for her the love of a wide spread world of rank andfashion. Thus, pass ing part of the year in Scotland, and the remainder in England, her ladyship spent an amiable, happy, blameless life, connecting the present with the past in sympathy and affection, and leaving to loving friends the bright example of a gentle, cheerful, and unselfish life, beautifully reflected in the graceful and devoted affection with which she was filially attended.—Scotsnt a n. THE STEAMER SIR WILLIAM PEEL.—A telegram received from New York, via the Atlantic Cable, was posted yesterday afternoon at Lloyd's Underwriting Room, an nonncing that the Supreme Could at Now Orleans had decreed "that the British steamer Sir William Peel, cap tured by the United States' cruisers during the war with the South in 1863, be restored, with the cargo, to her owners." The steamer in question was built at Northfleot in 1865, and in 1863 became the property of Mr. T. A Cm ry and Mr. R. Laycock, merchants, in Manchester, who despatched her from London for Liverpool, whence she sailed for Meta mores on the 4th of May, 1863, with an assorted cargo of merchandise. The cargo was owned by Messrs. A. and S. Henry and Co., merchants, and consigned to Messrs. Milmo and Co., at Matamoras, for sale. This steamer arrived out on the 13th of June, the cargo was landed except two casks containing iron rings and some railway axles, and a fresh cargo was being shipped—namely, aboutoo4 bales of cotton, when she was captured by the United States' commissioned vessel of war Seminole, Captain Rolando commanding,who ordered the Sir William Peel to New Orleans for adjudi cation. It was clearly estallished that at tho time of the capture she was lying at anchor in Mexican neutral waters. The Sir William Peel was insured at Lloyd's, and the underwriters settled with the owners as a total loss. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1867:: SHARE MARKETS.—This day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET. ROBBING A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT ,— Thomas Claver house, formerly in the service of Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P. for Lambeth, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing some forks, the property of Mr. Hughes. Sergeant Cole, of the C division, said that seeing the prisoner coming out of the shop of Mr. Melhuish, pawn broker, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, and in conse quence of what Mr. Melhuish informed him, he stopped the prisoner and asked him what he had pledged. Ho replied, " Nothing." Ho then told the prisoner that he bad been to the pawnbroker's with four forks, and the prisoner then produced the forks, and sail, " these aro the forks." On asking the prisoner ILiw ho got them, he said he bought them in the country two years ago, but where or of whom ho did not know, but lie gave 10s. or 12s. for them. He told the prisoner that lie did not .believe him, and he then began crying, and said, " I'll tell you the truth, I took them from Mr. Hughes; they were four forks not in the plate list. All the other plate is right I know. How I came to take them I cannot tell ; but I owed sonic) money at the time." On searching the prisoner at the station he found a pocket-book containing some duplicates; and in a box he had left at a house in Shouldham-street, Marylebone, ho found a few trifling articles which had been missed by Mrs. Hughes. Mr. Thomas Hughes, of No. 33, Park-street, Grosvenor square, said the forks produced were similar to some he once had. He had had a large plate robbery at his house three years ago, and a few forks were left of the same pat tern as those produced. The prisoner pleaded guilty. wi M th r.3 hard l labour.angtieldeommitted the prisoner for six months vinces. BOMBAY MAIL. We have received, via Marseilles, Bombay papers to April 27. The following summary is from the Bombay Gazette : The English mail of the 26th March arrived in Bombay on the 17th inst., and that of the 3d April on the 25th. The latest London date via Lido- European line is of April 24th. Tenders are out for the new public works loan for £1,500,000, terminable in five, ten, and fifteen years respectively. The Governor has gone back to Matheran, where he will remain until the rains set in, occasionally returning to Bombay to attend meetings of the Legislative Council. The lion. Mr. Shaw Stewart is to act as Chief Secretary to Government, Bombay, during the absence on leave of Mr. Chapman. Mr. Henry Maxwell has been elected a director of the Bank of Bombay in the room of Mr. Stewart. A meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Bombay was held on the 16th, at which there was a long discussion on the proposed amalgamation with the Bank of Bengal ; no result was arrived at. A private meeting of some of the most influential shareholders of the Bank of Bombay and the direc tors was held on the 26th, when a resolution was agreed to expressing an opinion that a scheme should be considered for the reconstruction of the bank as an alternative to the proposed amalgama tion, and a committee was appointed to act in con cert with the Board. Mr. Temple arrived at Hyderabad on the 9th, and took over his duties from Sir G. Yule on the 13th. The Hon. Mr. C. J. Erskine, we learn, proceeds to England by the second mail steamer of next month. The weather is seasonably hot and the state of the public health satisfactory. Mr. R. V. Hearn has been appointed Public Prosecutor for Bombay in addition to his duties as Government Solicitor. The Hon. A. J. Hunter has resigned his seat at the Bombay Legislative Council. Brigadier-General Malcolm, lately in command of the Ahmednuggur Brigade, is appointed to the Sind Division, vacant by the death of Gen. Heath. Col. Merewether, it is understood will succeed Mr. Mansfield as Commissioner of Scinde., Dr. S. M. Belly is to succeed the late 1)r. Costelloe as Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, Scinde.

The main drainage scheme was discussed at a meeting of the Bench of Justices on the 17th, when a resolution was passed deprecating the re-opening of the question. A marriage has been celebrated between Ally Shah, son of H.H. Aga Khan, and the grand daughter of the late King of Persia. Information has been received of the loss of the Dutch ship Abel Tasman (which left Bombay on the sth instant for Liverpool), on the Byrangore reef N.E. of the Laccadives. The captain and crew were all saved. The Alicia, from the Clyde for Bombay, has put into Cochin (on the Malabar coast) dismasted. A meeting of the shareholders of the Commercial Bank of India and the East was held yesterday, at which an opinion was expressed that it was most desirable that the bank should be resuscitated if practicable. A meeting of the shareholders of the United Victoria and Culaba Reclamation and Pier Com pany was held on the 19th, when a resolution passed at a previous meeting for liquidation of the present and reconstruction of a new company was confirmed.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of the Bombay Reclamation Company was held on the 16th to consider th' terms of a compromise with the Asiatic Banking Corporation.

Nagpore has been visited with several severe thunder storms since our last; three persons were killed by lightning, and a house burnt. M. E. W. Kiely, it is believed, has been appointed General Traffic Manager on the Bombay and Baroda Railway. Three natives were convicted at the late Criminal Sessions of forging currency notes of Rs. 1,000 each. The notes were very neatly executed. One of the men was transportei for life, and the other two were each sentenced to seven years' rigorous imprison ment. The Government of India have extended to all clerks and servants on less than £lOO per year the provision of the License Act, which exempts officials with similar incomes. Mr. W. Grey assumed the office of Lieutenant Governor of Bengal on the 24th. Sir Ceci Beadon will not, however, leave for England ti] July. It is said in Madras that Sir Gaspard Le Mar chant has tendered his resignation as Commander in-Chief in that Presidency. From Cabool we hear that the force of Fyz Mahomed is still at Tuktoptial, and Shere Ali Khan is on his way to Khubn and Memma. In Rangoon the discontent of the people of Burmah with the King's administration increases, and the princes who rebelled against him in October ast are again in the field. A feud has broken out amongst several of the Tillages in the neighbourhood of Alunipore. Con siderable loss of life is reported. Mr. J. D. Sandford has been appointed Regis .rar of the High Court of the North-West Pro Colonel Phayre, late Chief Commissioner, British Burmah, intends to retire from the service. The Government of India has suggested to the Secre tary of State that his services should be recognised by her Majesty's Government. The Rookies of the Chittagong district are re ported to be committing sad devastations among the lowland villages, upon which they pounce down, putting to the sword all who resist, burn their stores of rice or cotton, and then make away again to the hills, taking with them captive numbers of women and children. Cholera has broken out in the city of Benarce. Bellary was recently visited with an extraordi nary hail storm ; trees are reported to have been torn down, and some 420 head of cattle killed, be sides several human beings. The Government of India, on the suggestion of the Bombay Government, has extended the amount of each money order from £lO to £l5. 0 BIT eAnv.—Major Sykes, Delhi. Calcutta papers to April 23 have also come to hand. The following is from the Englishman's summary : " Of the famine itself the accounts are not very gloomy, except in Oussa. Of course there is a sad want of food, greater even than was anticipated in some districts, but steamers are busily employed in carrying rice from the Burmah ports to the opposite coast, and strenuous efforts are being made to avoid the errors and shortcomings of jut year. It is beginning to be confessed that the task of saving the people of Grissa is a most ungrateful one for every effort in their favour is made the harder by their own apathy and obstinate laziness, and by the unfeeling and unheard-of selfishness of their landlords. The people seem to imagine that the Government are bound to relieve them of all care of themFelves, and even when this is conceded, they seem to think this care must follow each man into his own home, and even lay up for him a store against the future. With such a population the work of relief becomes an anxious burden of no ordinary character. In other parts of Bengal the crops seem to promise safety from downright famine, although the stock of food in several districts will barely suffice to carry the inhabitAuts over to the next harvest. From Cabul we have no news of any importance. On the Peshawur frontier a cloud arose, which, however, has passed away. The Hassun-kheyl branch of the Alfreedees stood out until troops were in movement against them, when they gave in with a very ill-grace and with much muttering. THE EX7 ENSIVE FORGERIES IN Ii'RAUD OF 7HE LATE LEEDS BANKING COM PANY. Yesterday Edward Devillers, the Frenchman charged with forging divers bills of exchange to the amount of £120,000, with intent to defraud the late Leeds Banking Company, was brought up in cus tody on remand for further examination before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Poland (instructed by Messrs. Freshfield) again attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Messrs. Parker, Lee, and Haddock) appeared for the prisoner. The court was again crowded, and the proceedings commenced by Mr. Edward Greenland, the ex-manager of the Leeds Banking Company, b,,ing recalled as a witnes , ;. Mr. Greenland, as before, was brought up in cus tody from Newgate by Mr. Kean, the governor of the Leeds gaol. Mr. Greenland, in answer to questions put, stated that he never discounted any bills for the Maydem peck Forest Company except for Eck , ley,. Tcale, and Co., and he had no security for any of these bills. They were all drawn in favour of Teale, Edgley, and Co. All the bills purported to be ac cepted for the Maydempeck Forest Company. He was not at all aware that the bills were all drawn in London at the offices of Teale and Co., and that they were in the handwriting of the clerks of that firm. He was told that some of the bills were signed by Dinelli, the former secretary of the com pany. When the account was opened with the Leeds Bank both Edgley and Teale signed their banker's book. Mr. Greenland was subjected to a long cross examination, but the principal material points that appeared to be elicited were that the wit ness had no recollection of any concession relating to the Maydempeck Trust Com pany having been lodged with the bank as collateral security before the bills he referred to were dis counted for Edgley. He also stated that the Leeds Bank had discounted bills for Edgley, Teale, and Co., before the subject of the Maydempeck Forest Company was mentioned. Mr. Dresser was then recalled, and he stated that he went to Servia to make some inquiries respecting the supposed Maydempeck Forest Company, and he could not find that any such company was known at Maydempeck. There was a very large forest occupying several leagues in extent, but there would be great difficulty in conveying timber to England on account of the distance of the forest from the banks of the Danube. Mr. Edward Henry Watts was then called and examined by Mr. Poland. The witness deposed that he was staying at the Norfolk Hotel, but his family were residing in Somersetshire. At the age of 15 he went into the mercantile marine service, and served in the employment of the Royal West India mail packets until the year 1858, when he left it. After that he went into a mer chant's office, where he remained two or three months ; and last he was introduced to Edgley in June or July, 1858, by a fellow lodger of his (wit ness's), at a house in Frederick-street, Gray's-inn lane. At that time Edgley had offices in Sise-lane, City. At that time he knew nothing of business, but went into Edgley's office to learn, and was than without salary. After that Edgley was about to open the warehouse in Sermon-lane, St. Paul's churchyard, and it was arranged that he should go there, and he did so, attending everyday for five or six months without salary. At the latter end of 1858 he went into partnership with Edgley as woollen and silk warehousemen in Sermon-lane, under the firm of Thomas Edgley and Co., his (wit ness's) father, who is a clergyman in the country, putting into the concern £BOO for him. lle (wit ness) was to have one-fourth of the profit of the concern. After this—namely, in 1862—the firm of E. 11. Watts and Co. was established in Leeds by Edgley. Of this he knew nothing until after it was established, when Edgley told him to go down to Leeds and sign the book at the bankers in the usual way on an account being opened. He (witness) had nothing to do with the management of the concern at Leeds, which was first conducted by a p,rson named llall, rinii, after his death, by a youtte man named Bryson. lie could not remember when he first saw anything of the Maydempeck Forest Company's bills, but he did remember seeing Van Clieff some time in 1862. Edgley was always telling him what a wonderful place Maydempeck was, full of timber, besides mineral products. Ile first saw the Forest bills in Sermon-lane, and by direction of Edgley he endorsed several of them, under the firm of E. 11. Watts and Co. Nothing was said about the bills being made payable to that firm, but be understood that the bills were for money sent to pay the labourers employed in felling the timber at Maydetapeck. Before he (witness) joined Edgley he did not think that he had ever seen a bill of ex change. Edgley had told him that he had a con cession of the forest from Van Clieff, which he had handed over to the Leeds Banking Company, who were to advance money for carrying ou the works. Witness had no particular department in the business in Sermon-lane, except that he was to do what he was told. (A. laugh.) In the first year he drew out of the concern between £3OO and £4OO, and in the latter years between £6OO and £7OO per annum. When the Leeds Bank stopped in 1864 the firm of Watts and Co. stopped also, and that of Edgley and Co. went on wider a deed of inspection, as he was told it was called. After that W. Grant joined the concern, and the firm in Sermon-lane was changed to Edgley, Watts, and Grant. When he endorsed the bills drawn in the name of E. Devillers, Edgley used to say he was going to send Devillers out to Servia, to look after the business which was being mismanaged. lie first saw the prisoner some time in 1862, at the park beyond Tottenham, where Edgley lived, and he afterwards saw him at Cowes, where he was taken by Edgley to pass from the Saturday to Monday there. That was in the year 1864. Wit ness left Edgley in September last, and received from him to go out of the firm two acceptances, amounting to £450, one of which had been dis honoured, and the other was not yet due. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—ln January last year I was staying at Oaklands, where I had a house, but did not refrain from going to the Bankruptcy Court when I was wanted there. I was staying at Brighton and other places up to the time the pri soner was taken into custody on this charge, in which I never was afraid I should be made a de fendant. Before I appeared to give evidence here I did not obtain an undertaking that if I came as a witness I should not be included in the charge. This is the first I have heard of such a thing. He knew that ships had been chartered by Edgley to go out to the Danube to bring home timber, but they did not do so, in consequence, as Edgley told him, of the people having begun felling timber at too distant a part of the forest to get it down in time for shipment. The ships were detained too long, and an action for damages was brought against our firm. I know that I never wrote the prisoner's name to any of these bills, nor did I ever direct Grant to do so. If Grant has stated to the contrary he has stated falsely. I know nothing of, nor did I ever see, a deed of assignment from Van Clieff to Edgley of the May dempeck Forest. Mr. Greenland was again recalled, and in reply to Mr. Sleigh stated that he knew that an assign ment had been prepared, but ho believed it had never been executed. Mr. Poland at this stage stated that he did not propose to go further with the evidence to-day, and asked for another adjournment. Mr. Sleigh said he hoped at the next hearing Mr. Watt would be again produced, as he (Mr. Sleigh) had just received an important document, with re spect to which he desired to cros3-examine him. As the adjournment must now take place, he must again ask the Lord Mayor to admit the prisoner to bail, but reducing the amount of the sureties which had been fixed on the last occasion at £4500. This the accused had been unable to procure, and from the change in the aspect of the case against him which this day's proceedings had effected, he wished his lordship would reduce the amount of bail to £lOO each. The Lord Mayor assented to reduce the amount to two sureties in £2OO each , n otice to be given to the solicitors for the prosecution. The case was then adjourned to Wednesday, the 29th just. t 1) 110 7s) 81 34: 3' 14 16 102 IL3 60 61 924 94 33 14 7 4 81P, Ilt /14 Ilk , Old iv 116 11$ 55 57 4n 18 C5l tai ria 31 150 154 21 31 67 60 100 102 id ip 4 44 74 ei 50 55 10: 103 101 1(.3 108 10.1 20 22 85 88 57 5V 53 51 52 51 37 40 23 25 103 109 1 1 100 102 91 9'3 14 131 12 120 88 P 2 81 84 lid 100 102' 02 94 55 90 82 85 97 99 97 98 1 I 97 98 Atlantic .t St. Lawrence Bom.,Baroda, gu. 5 per cent...

Tho mill itself was not injured, but the boiler house was literally blown away, the bricks,woodwork, and portions of the ironwork being being scattered over a dis tance of 150 yards or more, but, providentially, without any lives being lost. Some narrow escapes occurred, and four persons were injured, but it is hoped not very seriously. A horse belonging to a neighbour whose stable was knocked down by one end of the boiler was seriously hurt, and its recovery is doubtful. The damage to the com pany's property is about £3OO, but the houses in the neigh bourhood are also damaged to some extent. The pressure was only about 601 b. to the inch at the time of the acci dent, and it is said there was plenty of water. The boiler was put down new only a year ago by Beevor and Sop, late of Newark. 100 100 100 all 100 100 WESTMINSTER. 60 i 66i I 15i 6 " FILIAL PEGARD."—Robert Jones, carpenter and joiner, was charged with assaulting and threatening his father. Complainant said that his son lived with him at 15, Brewer-street, Pimlico, and he had recently kept him while out of work for six weeks, for which he had made a very ungrateful return. Ho at last got defendant a job in Regent-street, but he would not go to his work. He was out all night, and could not go to work in the morn ing. Yesterday at dinner time the defendant found fault with some meat which bad been cooked for him, and slapped it in complainant's face. He left home, and when he returned to his tea his son re-commenced his miscon duct, and was becoming very violent with another person when complainant interfered to restore order, and then defendant struck him a violent blow on the eye, and thituatened to have his life. He said ho would have his liver out. Mr. Solfe (to defendant)—Mould you like to ask your father anything? Defendant—lt's no use, he's such a fearful liar. Yes, 1 will ask him a question. Did you not hit me first ? Complainant—No, I did not. Defendant—You aro a liar. Mr. Selfe—l will not have such behaviour here. Be have with decency if you can, sir. You have no business to use such language to your father, especially here. Defendant went into a long story about family matters, 101 complaining of what he had to put up with at ho me , an d said his father struck him first. Mr. Selfe told him he had no business at home at his time of life, and all the things he had said were additional reasons why he should leave it. Mr. Selfe said he would not deal with the assault, but would take care ho kept the peace for three months to come. 21t He was ordered to find bail for that time. 1094 1 151 I THAMES. E chargedl e n Lynch,with a prostitute, was ugknocking a man's Drought AT h u t TRIFLING 3r A i r . r p ar g . e — t, hat off. Mr. William Perchell, a Custom-house officer, said he was passing along Cable-street,. Whitechapel, yesterday afternoon, with a Southampton friend, when the prisoner knocked his hat off. It fell in the mud. Ho offered no provocation whatever. Robert Billings, a police constable, No. 103 H, said he took the prisoner into custody, and the prosecutor charge' her with demanding money of him for five nights' lodging, although he had never seen her before, and on his telling her to get away she knocked Lis hat off. Tho prisoner was intoxicated. _ In defence, the prisoner said she met with some sailors, who shoved her against tho prosecutor, and his hat foil off. Mr. Pagot asked the constable Billings if he knew the prisoner. Billings—Yes, sir; I know her name; she is a disor derly prostitute. Mr. Paget—And you know her name, and whore she lives ? Billings—Yes, sir, I do. Mr. Paget —I think you had better have left the com plainant to his remedy by summons. Billings—A respectable man was passing along the street, and his hat is knocked off by a prostitute—she is a very drunken, disorderly woman. Mr. Paget—Yes, you aro perfectly right in looking after these disordely women, but in a trifling affair like this you had scarcely occasion to interfere. You could have di rected the complainant to this court instead of taking her into custody. I shall allow her to be discharged. CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—A Spanish sailor, who gave the name of Lawrence Holmes, and whose ship is lying in the river off Millwall, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with cutting and wounding William Romero, another seaman, who was stated to be on board the Dread nought Hospital ship and in a very dangerous condition. M. Romero, a Spanish boardinghouse-keeper, of No. 62, Upper East Smithfield, said he was no relation to the wounded man. He saw the prisoner and Romero on board ship in the Wrest India Dock, yesterday afternoon. They were struggling, and one was on the top of the other alter nately. He separated them, and saw that Romero was bleeding from a wound on the chest, and that he had a knife, stained with blood, in his hand. He took the knife from the prisoner and threw it on the deck. Mr. Paget—Was the wounded man taken to the hospital ? Witness—Yes, sir, directly; he bled very much. Mr. Pagot directed the witness to repeat the evidence in the Spanish language to the prisoner, and, that having been done, he remanded the prisoner for a week. MARKETS.—This day. Although tho supply of English wheat hero, to-day, was very limited, all kinds met a dull inquiry, at Monday's de cline in the quotations. The first imports of foreign wheat havo been moderate, viz, 14,360 quarters; but the show of samples was on the increase. The trade was heavy iu the extreme, and the quotations were almost nominal. In floating cargoes of grain scarcely a transaction took place. The few samples of barley brought forward were hold at full quotations. The malt trade was heavy, on former terms. Oats were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. Beans and peas wore quite as dear as last week; but flour was a slow inquiry. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Wood, b u ild ers, Derby, struck work, ill consequence of th e f i rm having re fused anon-society etY man. Th e man has worked for years, and he has won their Messrs. to Wood for several confidence to such an extent that they have placed him in the position of foreman. The facts of the case are as fol lows :—On Tuesday, the B th of May, two deleg a t es f rom the Masons' Society went to Messrs. Wood with a reques t that they would discharge their foreman at once, or insist on his joining the union; but each of the proposals the firm decidedly refused to accept. On the Monday morning following the men all struck, those ont of the town as well as those at the works being warned from working. The firm is now without a mason—excypting, of course, the one on whose account the turn-out has taken place—and all their works are stopped ; but they hold to their deter mination nut to succumb, but rather to relinquish that branch of their business. _ TUE TICIIBORNE BARONETCY.—BIRTII OF A Sox.—News reached Winchester yesterday afternoon that the wife of Sir Roger Tichborne, the claimant to the Tich borne estates, had been safely delivered of a son at eleven o'clock on Monday morning. The bells of the old cathe dral were immediately set ringing, and continued to pour forth their notes of rejoicing for some hours to celebrate the event. It would appear tbat at last some decided steps are about to be taken by Sir Roger Tichborne to establish his claim to the baronetcy. Several bills have been printed ready for filing in the Court of Chancery, a step which, it is expected, will be taken almost immediately, but up to Saturday, it is understood, nothing definite had taken place in this respect. ~...--. 2 P.ORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
