MONEY 111ARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCX. TWELVE O'CLOCK. , The Stock Exchange being closed, there has been a 'very limited attendance in commercial circles in the City. In the Discount Market scarcely any business has been negotiated, and quotations remain unaltered. The report of the directors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company has been issued, in antici pation of the meeting to be held on the 24th inst. They recommend that a distribution be made of £ 3 10s. per share out of the balance of profi and loss account, and of £1 10s. per share as a bonus from the insurance account, both free of income la/I payable by warrants to be issued on the even ing of the 27th inst. lu the Corn Market to-day the attendance was of quite a holiday character, and prices of home grown and foreign wheat remained unaltered. From the various manufacturing districts the ac counts for the past week represent that business in most departments has been exceedingly quiet at , Alan chester ; the a p proac h o f t h e Easter holidays had caused a very limited attendance, and spinners and manufactur ers ev i nce d no di spos i tion to extend t heir t operati ons. In the woollen districts of Leeds, ra dford, and Halifax there has been little change, and but few dealings have been effected in light g °°(lB . The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham, however, have shown more ani rah ation ; whil e i n the hardware districts of Birming ,ara, Sheffield, and W o l ver h ampton no ma t er i a l _ altera tion can be repor t e d i n most o f t h e pr i nc i pa l b ranches of trade carried on.

MARKETS.—This day. MARK-LANE. There was a fair amount of business doing in wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and prices had an upward tendency. The sales for all kinds of spring corn ruled steady, at full quotations. On the continent wheat has further advanced in price, although the demand has been far from active. Barley and other produce has changed hands freely. Very high prices continue to rule in the American markets. The imports of foreigh and colonial produce into Lon don last week, were 30,513 quarters of wheat; 14,286, barley ; 69,276, oats; 13,335, beans ; 1,330, peas ; 4,431, tares; 4,464, linseed; 12,956, rapeseed; 5,200, maize; 15, sundries; 1,202 sacks and 12 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage, was limited, and in but middling condition. The attendance of millers was small, and the.demand for both red and white qualities was inactive, at prices about equal to Mondry last. We were well supplied with English wheat, in which very little business was transacted, at last week's quota tions. Floating cargoes of grain were vory firm in price. The supply of English barley was very limited—of foreign, moderately extensive. All kinds moved off slowly ; nevertheless previous rates were well supported. Malt, the show of which was seasonably extensive, was a slow inquiry, at last week's quotations. We were exclusively supplied with oats, in which about an average business was doing, at late rates. The few beans on offer were taken off slowly, on former terms. Peas were quite as dear as last week, but the demand for them was far from active. The flour trade was steady at full quotations. Linseed moved off steadily, at very full prices. In ether seeds only a limited business was passing. Cakes were a dull inquiry. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was about an average supply of beasts and sheep here to-day. Sales progressed heavily, at depressed cur rencies. The number of calves was very limited. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning was very moderate as to number, but in fair average condition. The supply from Scotland was rather limited, whilst no fresh arrivals were reported from Ireland. The attendance of butchers being far from numerous the demand for all kinds of beasts was heavy, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs. The supply from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire comprised about 1,200 crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of Engiand, 400 various breeds, and from Scot land 183 Scots and crosses. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only moderate, all breeds met a heavy sale, at 2d per 81b less money when compared with this day sen'night. The best Downs and half brads in the wool changed hands at 5s 8d to 5s 10d; out of the wool, 46 8d to 4s 10d, per Blbs. Prime Down lambs were in moderate request at 8s per 81bs, but inferior breeds gave way 2d to 4d per Sibs. The supply from the Isle of Wight was confined to 50 head. The few calves in the market sold at high quotations-- viz., from 4s 6d to Gs per 81bs. The show of pigs was tolerably good. The demand was heavy, at barely last weak's prices.

PLAYING AT " ROUNDERS" IN HIDE-PARK.—Two lads named . Charles Smith awl Henry Hahne were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with playing at a game called "rounders," in Hyde-park, to the dingo - of the passengers. rolico-constable Strutt, 337 A, said that on Saturday afternoon he saw the defendants playing at" rounders" on the broad path in Hyde -park. He drove them away, and shortly after they began playing again. He sent them away a second time; but shortly after seeing them playing again he took them into eustody. The defendants were sometimes knocking stones about, the passers-by running great risk of having their heads cut open, and sometimes a hard ball. The defendants said they did not know they were doing any harm; they had done the same thing before. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that if the defendants thought they were going to hare it all their own way they were mis taken. They would have to•pay 55., or seven days ; and if they were brought before him again the fine would be 40s. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT WITIII;TENr TO ROB.—Edward Downey, a dissipated, rough-looking fellow, and described as a labourer of N o . 1,6, Y or k- p l ace , Limehouse, was brought before Mr, Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Mr. James Potts, of 8, Union-place. The complainant, a respectable engineer, was on his way home yesterday morning between one and two o'clock, and was suddenly accosted.by the prisoner in White Horse street, Stepney, who asked him for a piece of tobacco. Mr. Potts replied, " I have no' tobacco." The prisoner said, You lie - you," and made use of the most infamous epithets and language. Mr. Potts called for the police, and the prisoner immediately struck him a violent blow on the back of the head, and kicked him while be was on the ground. Mr. Potts continued to call out "Police ! murder!" and the prisoner fell upon him, and used atrocious threats, at the same time seizing him by the neck. The opportune arrival of three friends, who had been in Mr. Potts' company, and who were following him some distance off when the prisoner first accosted him, pre vented th 3 prisoner carrying out his diabolical intentions. The fellow was at once seizad and secured. Henry Lewis, No. 403 K, said the prisoner was a noto rious ruffian, and had been in custody before for assaults on the polico and others, and punished for those assaults Before the prisoner attacked Mr. Potts he went into a coffee-shop and demanded bread and butter. On tho re fusal of his demand, he used bad language and threats. Mr. Partridge asked Mr. Potts if ho had lost anything out of his pockets, to which he replied in the negative. The prisoner, in defence, said he only asked Mr. Potts for a pipe of tobacoo. . _ Mr: Partridge—A most impudent proceeding on your part. The prosecutor is a total stranger to you, and you stop him and demand tobacco of him between the hours of one and two o'clock in the morning, and when your demand is not complied with you attack him in this savage manner. It is not quite certain that you intended to rob him, but it is quite certain that you have committed a savage and unprovoked assault on the prosecutor. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two calendar months. If it was plain you intended to rob the prosecutor, I should have, committed you for trial. WESTMINSTER. A VERY HARD CASE.—DEFECTIVE STATE OF THE LAW —A very respectable -looking woman, about 30 years of age, applied to Mr. Selfe for redress under the following circumstances : Applicant—l have been living last in the Brompton road, and I have to complain very much of the treatment received there. They have been opening my letters and keeping them from me. They then ordered me out on Saturday without my wages, and turned me out into the street with nothing but what I stand upright in. Mr. Selfe— What made them open your letters ? Applicant— I can't say, Lut they have opened and kept other servants' letters as well. Mr. Selfe—How do you know they opened your letters? Applicant—l found the letter two days after it had been received under an ornament on my mistress's mantelpiece ; it was then open. Mr. So -They•have no right to do that; but lam not aware that I have any power to help you. Applicant—lt is verphard if you have not. I went to the postman who delivered the letter last week and to the postmaster, and both of them directed me to commence a prosecution. . . Mr. Selfe—lt was an offence for a letter-carrier to open a letter, but not an offence for anybody else to do it. There is no power to prosecute persons criminally out of the post-office. _ Applicant—There were two stamps in the letter. Mr. Sella —lf you can prove they took the stamps it may alter the circumstances. How do you know the stamps were sent. Applicant—l have seen the person who sent the letter since, and I found one of the stamps upon the hearth-rug at the time. I discovered the letters on the mantel-piece. Mr. SeHe— They might have dropped out of the letter unobserved. Applicant—Can't you order them to pay me my wages ? Mr. Selfe—l have no power to do se. Your remedy for your wages must be in the County Court. Applicant —I think I have been very badly treated. Mr. Selfe—lt is certainly a most improper thing, but it is not a subject for summons here. I will, however, send one of the officers with you to see whether I c,an obtain you any redress. Applicant—l am much obliged to your worship, for I don't know what to do. Strike of Operative Tailors. On Saturday evening a general meeting of the committee and delegat es of the London Tailors Association, together with the delegates from the Amalgamated Society, took place at the Gieen Dra gon, King-street, Regent-street, for the purpose of receiving the replies from the master tailors to the circular addressed to them on the 16th inst., in re ference to their final acceptance or rejection of the amalgamated time-log, as agreed upon by the men. From a statem en t c i rcu l a t e d i n the room it appeared that the present disp u t e w a s not one of wages, but simply an adjustment of the time allowed for making the various descriptions of garments, which, if adopted, would enable the men to realise what they were supposed to have obtained after the struggle of last year-7d. per hour. Mr. Lawrence, the secre tary, read the letters which had been receivel from the masters in reply to the circular—about 20 in number ; but none of them were of a definite cha racter, some requiring further time for considera tion, and others declaring the writers did not belong to the Masters' Association, and therefore consi dered they should not be interfered with: The let ters and the present position of the trade were fully discussed, and the resolution ultimately adopted was that the policy hitherto pursued should be perse vered in, and the amalgamated time-log enforced, consequent upon the refusal of the masters to con tinue the uniform time-log negotiations with the united committees. Resolutions were then adopted to be submitted to the aggregate meeting of the trade, to be held this day in the Alhambra, at which it is expected fully 8,000 men will be pre sent. If these resolutions arc agreed to at the meet ing, about which there appears to be no doubt, the committee will be empowered to draw out the men from all the shops and firms, where they may think it expedient to do so. A list of these has been pre pared, in none of which will the men go back to work after the meeting, until the amalgamated time log is accepted as the log of tha trade. About 2,000 is the number of men expected to be drawn out in the first instance, mainly from the West-end firms, and it is believed this number will be sufficient to fight the question upon. The committee received a large sum from the 2s. levy per man, whi c h h a d b een laid on la s t w eek, in anticipation of th e strugg l e likely to take place, and a consid e r a bl e sum was still unpaid when the books were close I a t t we l ve in present the proceedings o'clock. The fi na nce committee sit thi s morn i ng to receive paylnents" There is co mp l ete un i ty the between the indoor and outdoor workmen, and the men say they have no fear of any competition from foreign workmen. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. This Day. . Market very irregular iu tQa and prices. Sales probably 7,000 bales, SPORTING NOTES. A general meeting of the members belonging to the Victoria Club was held on Thursday last, in connection with the Soiled Dove case, at which it was almost unani mously decided by those present to decline a settlement of the bets, as recently arranged, by a legal number of the committee al Tattersall's, and to appeal to the Jockey Club. That they will, for the sake of a number of interested parties, who only object because they are pecuniarily affected, be likely to entertain such a pro position, diametrically opposed to one of their fundamental rules—" The Jockey Club and the stewards thereof take no cognizance) of any dispute or claims with respect to bets "—is simply preposterous, and Mr. Frederick Fisher is worthy of all praise for his manly courage in opposing such selfish conduct. There is no doubt the public will insist upon this just, right, and proper decision being enforced. I write advisedly in asserting that sundry mem bers present, although they did not objcct to the memorial carried at the Victoria Club on Thursday, think the decision is the fairest for all parties concerned, and do not wish, nor do they think it likely, to be disturbed. The great difficulty of analysing the list of races which are embraced in the above meeting is caused by the un certainty of owners starting the different animals engaged therein, for which, in many cases, there is reasonable excuse ; but,. on the other hand, and with many unplea sant exceptions, the scratching of "favourite" animals at the last moment, or not running them, naturally creates a great deal of disgust amongst the backers of horses. For instance, why, if, as is patent to every one con versant with training, he ought to have been, was not The Hermit Struck out of the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes weeks ago ? Why did the Duke of Hamilton keep Wild Agnes in the betting, although she fluctuated like a weathercock in the City and Suburban until the day before - the race, and eventually bring out a brute, like Clarice, not good enough to win a Railway Plate, who was clearly palmed upon him, as though privately tried to beat the winner of the St. Lit Handi cap ; according to public running he could not have been within a distance of the winner. . . _ _ Tuesday, "big with the fate of ,thousands," will set at rest the differences of opinion, which are wide as the poles asunder, respecting the merits of the favourites for the Two Thousand Guineas, with the exception of The Hermit, about whom, however, I gave your readers a pretty straight tip on the 25th of March, *hen I wrote as follows Hermit pulled up very lame two or three days ago, after taking a gentle canter, and has about astmuch chew* of winning the Two Thousand guineas or-Derby as the writer of this article ;" and I can only repeat that if the result in his case for " The Blue Riband" is' not equally disastrous for his unfortunate backers, I am not competent to judge of equine infirmities. Underneath is a list of the probable starters and jockeys, at any rate of those which are, in my estimation, at all likely to interfere with the result :-- HORSE. SIRE. DAM. JOCKEY. Plaudit Thormanby Plausible J. Snowden Julius Vauban Muscovite Marksman ... Dundee Trocadero ... Monarque Fel ragus Fitz-Gladiator ... Findlande ... C. Pratt Master But-} K ett l e d ru m Butterfly J. Doyle tertly. Van Amburgh Van Galen Owain (Rent Young Mel- I Tasmania's I J. meter dwyr $ bourne f dam Colt by Toxophilite Miss Sarah... Aldcroft IFlash of } Wells. Jasper Knight of the} Prime Minister Rosa Bonheur Custance Garter f Star of India, linight of St.} Ava T. French 1 Patrick Mandrake ... Weatherbit Of Major Elwon's horse I made the following remarks in an analysis of this race last winter, and then selected him as the absolute winner. " Plaudit landed the only two stakes for which he put in an appearance, but his merit must be judged of princi pally from his last performance in the Clearwell Stakes, and although many of the talent think The Rake's form in the Middle Park Plate—in both cases the line is through Achievement—decidedly best, I beg to differ with them, feeling fully convinced Lord Lyon's sister was not only amiss when she ran Major Elwon's horse to a head, but decidedly more so the next day in her encounter with The Rake, in which case surely it is not unfair to Set altogether on one side this wonderful filly's performances, and test their qualifications by the next best horses in these races. Pericles obtained third place to Plaudit, re ceiving 31b from the latter, who boat him, and Knight of the Garter, who ran third at even weights, was beaten no farther distance from Th e R a k e i n th e Middle Park Plate. On the Friday of the same week in the Prender gast Stakes, Pericles, in the receipt of 31b from Knight of the Garter,. beat him cleverly by a length, thus making the pretensions of the two favourites for the great prize at Epsom, which I shall take another opportunity of dis cussing, very much alike. Meanwhile his gallant owner having expressed an intention of starting him for this event, has exercised a wise discretion, many,of the Two Thousand Guineas winners having given convincing proof of their inability to get successfully over the Derby course, which I doubt this son of Thormanby, out of Plaudit, being able to do." Julius has been backed for immense sums of money by his owner, the Duke - of Newcastle, and the principal sup porters of Mat Dawsori ' s stable. It is a well-known fact that many promising and public-performed two year olds never run up to their form in after years, whilst others make as great an improvement on their previous merits; and, placing this sdn - of Julie in tho last category, I am in clined to give him the preference over all the other favou rites. His trainer, one of the finost judges in the world, is, I believe, sanguine to a degree, otherwise his grace would not offer to take 3 to 1 to £l,OOO, which he did at Tattersall's on Saturday, and would very likely have taken over and over again. Vauban is a good, game horse, but will prefer the course for the Epsoin event; whether or not, I shall ignore his chance this journey. Marksman is now backed in earnest for this Rowley Mile spin, but he possesses an infirmity of temper which prevents me from recommending your subscribers to make any investments on him, although I am not disposed to deny the probability of his proving himself a rac3 horse when in the humour to try. Trocadero is one of the most improved horses in training at Newmarket, and, having been satisfactorily tried by Jennings, is sure to be very near the winner. The Maid of Masham and the colt 'by Toxophilite, out of Miss Sarah, will represent Lord Glasgow's interest and, with Tom Aldcroft, one of the finest horsemen in the world, on his best, I shall not bo at all surprised, but especially delighted, to see Lord Glasgow's triumph with General Peel in 18g1 repeated on the present anniver sary. Master Butterfly, is very well, and a certain runner, and I think very likely to turn out the best outsider. The ocher cempetitors whom 1 have selected as starters —Van Amburgh, Owain Glendwyr, Ferragus, Jasper, Knight of the Garter, Star of India, and Mandrake—have no attraction for me ; indeed I believe the judge will have to decide between Plaudit, Julius, Trocadero, and Master Butterfly. It will, lam satisfied, be a close race between one or two of the last mentioned ; however, 1 shall expect the judge to place PLAUDIT JULIUS LORD GLASGOW'S BEST... On the same day, the Coffee Room Stakes should go to FRIPONNIER. The Sweepstakes of 200 soya each to GRIMSTON ; and the Sweepstakes of 300 sows each seems likely to b 3 a walk over for WESTWICK. On Wednesday the Two-Year-Old Plate has no loss than 89 subscribers, but I question though the majority are "dark" youngsters, if any one will be lucky enough to produce the superior of LADY ErazAnzur awl SUFFOLK, in oae of whose success I have the greatest faith. At the same time, believing the Marquis of Hastings possesses ono of the best two-year-olds we have seen this season, or are likely to do this year, she must represent my interest. The only other events worth alluding to are the Prince of Wales Stakes over the Cesare witch Course, which TILE PEER from his recent form is bound to win. A Sweepstakes of 100 Soya. each which OSTREGER'S owner should secure ; and a Sweepstakes of 50 Sovs each, in which 'PERICLES will - takb a ' deal of beating from all corners. Mr. Ten Rroeck ought to win his match, CHANTILLY V. Demonstra tion. The great feature of Thursday will bo the One Thou sand Guineas Stakes, but if, as I am led to believe that wonderful filly ACHIEVEMENT is in her best form, there is nothing else in the race ; still, should LADY lIESTER COMO to the post, she is worth back ing for a "situation." The Free Handicap acceptances are not to bo signified until 6 p.m. this evening, conse quently I should be writing in the dark. Should, however, WAR and. MARMITE be amongst the " contents," I should fancy their chaneee. The Newmarket Stakes, which is the only complete engagement for Friday, rests between Vauban, Owain Glendwyr, and Marksman, whose running for the Two Thousand Guineas will enable your readers to judge for themselves.

The weather has been of a very fickle character for the past two or three days, but the heath is in excellent going order, and an immense number of horses are quartered here. A very successful First Spring Meeting, therefore, may be safely augured. Despite the fact that The Hermit, the Palmer, Master Butterfly, Cannon Ball, The General, Milan, and others being struck out, and The Dragon, with The Rake, not b ein g entered, the Two Thousand this year will be a most sensational one ; for few believe that Plaudit is sufficiently ripe, others declare that Julius and Marksman have each a white feather, and another section that Vauban is not fast enough. Hence, the generality cling to the hope that either Trocadero or Star of India may land, and an inevitable change in the Derby quotations be the result. How far one or the other of these sceptics may be correct time alone will show ; neither shall we venture to offer an opinion as to their respective judgments, ourpro vince here being simply - to narrate what is actually doing .on the exercise grounds at headquarters Plaudit on Sunday iwrely cantered about with Strathconan and Rose, but this morning the three went a rattling good gallop of something like a mile . and three quarters, which is not un likely to be the last long or fait gallop the Rich mond crack will have prior to his being stripped for his Rowley mile encounter. That he might be made more fit we are quite aware, but he looks quite as well as he did when he vanquished Achievement, and, as Watson remarked to us in private, quite ripe enough to beat the lot he has to meet on Tuesday." Rose is somewhat more forward in con dition than Plaudit, but has no chance in the One Thousand. Marksman and the Sunflower filly cantered twice, and then galloped a mile and a half first class. The former is said to have given half a stone easily to. Wroughton ; and his owner stands to win nearly £40,000 by the Two Thousand issue. Unquestionably Marksman is in splendid condition, and if he does not turn roguish will be bound to run into a place. The Sunflower filly, too, looks and goes beautifully. John Davis, Vauban, and Uncas did a mile and half gallop pretty List ; and Lord Ronald took Ischia and Seville about as far. Pantaloon led the two-year-old Athena over a mile, steadily. Vauban goes uncommonly strong, and John • Day is very pleased with him. Julius followod the Beadle a mile and a quirter, at good speed, and evinced no sign of shiftiness. Star of India went all a mile and a half ; as did Van Amburgh and the Miss Sarah colt. The hitter was beaten in a trial last Saturday. The Hermit., too, succumbed to Knight of the Garter and Indigestion in a spin at the close of the past week, and has gone into physic. It is reported, too, that the Palmer and Cannon Ball were tried on Friday and " found wanting." Trocadero, after cantering twice, gal loped quite a mile and a half, doing his work most creditably. He will be run o ut to-mor row to get a lino for Dragon. Ferragus we have not seen yet. Pericles and Jasper went a mile and a quarter, separately, of course, at real. good sliced. Scour de Charite . and Sunny locks were working freely, and La Marechale as Midwife did g pretty fit, well ; the three lookin nearly a mile and a half, besides a lot of walking and trotting exercise. Westwick galloped two miles, and Knight of the Crescent took Wild Wind about a mile and a half. Ostreger pioneered Actsea for nearly a mile and three-quarters, the pair going steadily; they could not possibly be better. Bray datnante was showing the way for Dragoon and the Mayonaise filly (4 yrs old). Miss Harriette, Bismarck, False Alarm, Grimstoue Chapel Royal, and others from Joseph Dawson's, were gently exercising ; and Delium was taking Pyrenees along. Bounceaway and Tormentor did long, steady work. Archimedrs and Sir Oliver were walking abouic. The Rake galloped a mile an 1 a half; and so did Knight of the Garter, who last week failed to do with Lord Lyon what he was asked.

A notice has been issued bearing the signature of 13 firms among the largest shipowners of Hull an nouncing that the goods train between that port and all parts of the kingdom are in full operation, and that their steamers are running regularly, as before, to all continental ports. Some slight damage continues to be done to the rolling stock of the North-Eastern Company through the unhandiness of some of the men who are em ployed as drivers of goods trains. But the passenger trains are admirably managed. The men on strike in the northern section of the line seem very anxious for a settlement, and are willing for all the points in dispute to go to arbitration. But the company have as yet made no signs of a willingness to agree to terms of that kind. The goods trade is getting better, but the trading public are still a good deal incommoded through a difficulty in getting their goods away. The Easter holidays arrangements will be pretty much the same as ordinary years, and the trains on the main line are keeping excellent time. On the Mahon division of the railway the strikes may be fairly said to have died out. With the ex ception of two trains, comparatively nicless at this season, the whole of the service on the five Hues centering at Melton is now in full working for pas sengers, and the trains run very punctually; not a single accident of any kind having occurred. The goods and mineral traffic has been worked up, all arrears" having ben cleared off by special trains on Good Friday, when the ordinary passenger trains did not run. A large number of goods, and mineral drivers from other railways and from col lieriesare offering their services. In this state of matters but little heed is given to the threat of the central committee to order a general strike. Its effect on the North-Eastern overcome beforehand, and as many of the old hands have deserted the union, and are now seeking "re-employment on the North-EaStern at greatly reduced wages and in in ferior positions, there is no doubt their example would have a salutary effect on the men of other lines. Driveers earning Bs. to 93. per day are now seeking re-engagement at 55. The adjourned hearing of the charges against the drivers and firemen in the Gateshead division of the North-Eastern Railway, for leaving their work with out notice, came before the borough bench of that town on Saturday. The names of the men ars Henry Yates, John Hutchinson, Robert Bone, Thos. Waters, Wm. Appleby, Geo. Brewis, Thos. Davi son, Thos. Goss, Thos. Routledge, Alex. Gray, and Jonathan Clark. Mr. Blackwell, barrister, prose. cuted ; and Mr. J. P. Roberts, of Manchester - , de fended the men. The case of Davison was taken first. It was proved that Davison, who was an old ' driver, had a copy of the rules, and that ho left work on the 11th of April without notice. After an address from Mr. Roberts, the Bench consulted for half-an-hour, when the mayor announced that they found that Davison had been guilty of having broken his agreement with the North-Eastern Com pany without lawful excuse ; but they agreed to postpone judgment until the 28th of May, to allow matters to be amicably settled if possible. The Court refused Mr. Roberts a case for the Court of Queen's Bench. The whole of the defendants were bound over to appear. LEEDS, Sunday Evening. The engine-drivers on the North-Eastern Rail way attended a public meeting this afternoon and stated their grievances more fully, especially as to " shed days." A Great Northern driver proposed, as a measure tending to reconciliation, that a man from each of the four great railway companies having lines in Yorkshire should wait upon the North-Eastern directors and show them the terms upon which they themselves are working, and ask the North-Eastern Board to treat their servants as other companies do. Alderman Carter seconded the motion. It was carried by acclamation. It was also resolved that influential persons at Leeds be re quested to accompany the drivers for that purpose, and after the interview to call a pubi;,p meeting, and lay a statement before it of the result.
