MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIOBNOB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change of importance to record in t he general discount market. The supplies of bills on offer are restricted, and the capital in the hands of the brokers and others abundant, the rates ruling at from 11 to 1 per cent. for short dated paper. The sum of £4,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday in gold. The Newyork from New York has brought about . 4 , 0 00 in specie and £3,000 for Bremen. The liubboldt from Rio Janeiro brings only £1,500. The Custom-house and Navigation laws to be observed on the River Amazon, its affluents, and the river San Frauci:ico, were published on the 31 st of July last, at Rio de Janeiro, and contain no less than 145 paragraphs, all of which are more or less irksome to free trade. We did not think it possible a Government could publish such a document, and enforce it in a country without hardly any population or trade, and where the great ostensibly avowed object was to create trade and attract emigration, but this docu ment will close the free navigation to foreign shipping as effectually as if the so much praised law of the 7th of December, 1866 , ordering the opening of the Amazon to foreign nations on the 7th of September, 1867, had never been pro mulgated. In the Foreign and Colonial Pr oduce Markets dur ing the last few days a moderate amount of business h asbeen entered into. There has been a steady demand for sugar, and prices have been well sustaine d. uPerations in tea have been principally in the new seasons crop just arrived, but the rates realised have shown little variation of importance. Moderate quantities of coffee have been brought forward, and superior descriptions have sold readily at steady prices. Rice has been more inquired for, while the dealings in rum, fruit, and saltpetre have led to no material alteration in quotations. In the !allow market heaviness has prevailed, and prices h ave continued to exhibit a further slight decline. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 23 25, and Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 21 22. With regard to the silk market Messrs. Durant and Co. state as follows :—" We have to report another month of extreme quiet in silk. The fourth steamer with new silk has arrived, and still no business upon any than the smallest possible scale— still apparently the same determined limitation of Purchase to the absolute requirements of the day. The prices of China and Japan silk show an unusual margin in comparison with European silk, but even this fails to induce business. The deliveries of the past month proved rather less unfavourable than had been anticipated, but still are far from satisfac tory —Japan furnished an important feature." Two o'CLocit. The Paris Rentes this morning, according to Renter's telegram, were 69f 90c.—Firm.

Wieniawski, the celebrated violinist, at the Covent Garden Concerts on Mon day evening, caused, as was expected, a complete furore. Of all others, he is the violinist of the present day most calculated to arouse the enthu siasm of a mixed audience, for, in addition to his acknowledged qualifications as a performer of classical music, he has devoted his life to the study of those eccentricities and marvellous tours de force which bewilder for the time being even those who are most versed in the resources of the instrument, and best know the seeming impossibilities that can be accomplished by four fingers. It is almost certain that Herr Joachim, to whom M. Wieniawski may be said to approach more nearly, though at a great distance, than any other performer, would not be equally successful at Covent Garden ; for he never condescends, although eminently possess ing the ability to the school, the exposition of which is now nightly greeted with uproarious applause. AL Wieniawski is a splendid violinist, but he i s also a sensational performer, and this is a feature not to be overlooked at promenade concerts. Th e general public is a very capricious child, wh o chiefly delights in acrobatic amusement, and falls down and adores anything like musical agility. We remember how it howled with delight, wh en Mdlle. Carlotta Patti whistled out of tune at Mr. Mellon's concerts. It looks upon Beethoven's Pastoral - symphony as an unmitigated bore, and until Johann Strauss taught it better taste, would have greatly preferred Mr. Coote's " Mina," or Mr. Godfrey's "Belgravia" waltz. It is a redeem ing point in the child's character that in an inferior order of composition it appreciates the delicious dance music of the German composer, and leads one to hope that it may acquire a taste for more solid food. HAY2IARKET THEATRE, Mrs. Scott Siddons, whose impersonation o f Rosalind in 46 As You Like it," was the talk of the town some months back, has this week reappeared at the Haymarket in the same character. On her first appearance we pronounced her, all things con sidered, to be a very clever actress, and a mos t welcome acquisition to the London stage. That she had many faults was only to be expected of a young and inexperienced debutante. Of these the most evident were an occasional tendency to over act and a general want of repose. She conveyed the impression of being too eager to do everything well, and this consequently engendered a degree of restlessness. Such faults, however, are on the right side, and it is always an easier and more grateful task to repress enthusiasm than to attempt to supply talent. Apart from this, her Rosalind is a true, graceful, and vigorous impersonation. It s greatest charm is its wonderful freshness. Mrs. Scott Siddons never condescends to stage tricks, or what may be styled artistic cant. Tier greatest points are the resultsiof natural instinct and genuine feeling. She has greatly improved since her former appearance, and displays :much more self-posses sion. She is remarkably handsome, has a beautiful figure, and a soft pleasing voice ; and her gestures are expressive and graceful. Her motion to kiss Celia's hands, in the first act, is pretty beyond description. Her first interview with Orlando, and her lingering before her reluctant exit, completely realizes Shakespeare's ideal. Again, at the end of the fourth act, when Oliver tells her of Orlando's encounter with the lioness, she reels for a moment, and staggers a few paces, instead of taking refuge in the received stage resource for difficult situa tions, a swooning fit. This scene is a masterpiece of acting. Whether Mrs. Scott-Siddons :will be as effective in tragedy yet remains to be seen. We are inclined to think that her Juliet will equally surprise and please. Certain it is, that as Rosalind, she has not been approached by any actress within the last twenty years. Mr. Compton's Touchstone is an original and masterly conception, and is the most prominent feature in the play after Rosalind. The remaining characters are fairly sustained. The singing admits of considerable improvement. NARKE TS.---This day. IIAY. • SMITHFIELD — Meadow hay, £2 15s Od to £lss ; clover, £3 Os to £5 15s Od; and straw, £1 Hs to £2 2s per load. Trade quiet.

TEA.—Business has 'remained inactive, and the sales of the new season's crop, per Ajax, have proceeded very slowly. SUGAR. —There has been a steady demand for brown qualities, and sales to some extent have been effected at full values. Refined goods are in fair request, the quota tions being 41s 3d for inferior qualities of dried goods. COFFER.—A fair amount of business has been entered into, and superior qualities of Plantation Ceylon have been in request at fully previous values. Tho stocks on hand compared with those of the corresponding period of last year show an excess of about 2,000 tons. RlCE.—Cleaned descriptions have been more sought after, and prices aro firmer. SALITETRE.—Business has been inactive, and few sales of any importance have been reported. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day Market opens very flat ; prices tend downwards, Sales probably 8,000 bales. SEAMEN'S WAGES. --Taking advantage of the sud don demand upon seamen at Liverpool to man the vessels which have been taken up at that port, the Liverpool Sea men's Protective Society have issued a circular urging the men to I.:mand the same wages as are paid on board steamers running between that port and America. This threatened to cause some delay in the preparation of the ships, but the owners have offered terms sufficiently liberal to command the complements required, and a difficulty has thereby been avoided. PLOUGIIING MATCHES. —The first ploughing match of the season came off at Bicester, in Oxfordshire, last week. The champion prize was won by a local man, 11. Jackman with a Howard's plough ; John Goodwin, another local man, took the second prize, also with a Bedford plough. Before the commencement of the ploughing match season Messrs. Howard announced to the various agricultural societies their intention not to enter their own experts at these competitions in future, but to leave the prizes, so far as their firm is concerned, to local ploughmen. THE BARROW DOCKS.—It is stated that the ban quet to be given by the directors of the Barrow and Myer ston Railway Company, on the occasion of the opening of the above docks on the 19th inst., will be attended by the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nial:Aloe from the governors of Gibialtar and Malta. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1867. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Spring Rice.) BETTING TRANSACTIONS. A trader debtor summons came before the Court this morning, in which the defendant Owen Swift, of the Black Horse, Oxenden-street, Haymarket, was called upon to answer a claim of £lOO, which he was alleged to have received as stake holder in certain betting transactions. It appears that a Mr. Bennett made a bet with a Mr. Percival of £5)O upon the merits of no less than 200 horses. S,Nne dispute arose after the payment of a portion of the money and although an action is now pending in the superior court the present proceedings were taken. After hearing the arguments, the registrar dismissed the summons. Our reporter was informed that these cases are very common in this court, and there is nothing un usual in taking out a trader debtor's summons against a defendant, even when an action is pending and remains undecided. POLICE INTELLIGEKOE.—This Day. BOW-STREEI. AGGRAVATED CASE OF CRUELTY. —C OMMITTAL OF A TRADESMAN WITHOUT A FINE. —Willi am Robinson, pork butcher, in an extensive way of business at 3, Wellington-place, Vauxhall-cross, appeared to answer th© complaint of the Secretary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having caused or procured a horse to be tortured. Mr. Lowe prosecuted, and stated that this was a case of peculiar aggravation. The defendant, it appeared, had sent his son with this horse and a cart to fetch potatoes from Covent-garden market, and the poor animal was seen struggling along by St. Martin's church in a state utterly unfit for any kind of work. Upon the complaint being laid, he assured one of the officers of the society that he had sold the horse to be killed. It appeared, how ever, that at and after the time when he made that statement the horse was at work, turning a sausage mill at the back of his premises. Defendant made a long rambling speech, in which he repeatedly declared that all his neighbours, as well as the police on the rank at Vauxhall and in the vicinity of the market, saw the horse every day, and would have noticed before now if the horse was in a really bad state. lie had never known th e home to be lame before. lie was sorry he had " told stories " to the constable. Mr. Vaughan bad been very anxious to hear all the defendant had to say, but it all tended to the same result. It was clear, especially from the evi dence of defendant's own witness, the farrier, that he had been guilty of very great cruelty. It would be a perfect mockery of justice if he were to impose a fine upon a man like the defendant, who would be perfectly insensible to a pecuniary penalty. He should sentence the defendant to be imprisoned with hard labour for one month. dad," and the boy said, " Mum, mum, mum." The man here pointed out the prisoner in the dock to his son, and the lad with great animation went through a great deal of pantomimic action, which plainly indicated that the prisoner had taken tea by lo.nds full from the grocer's board, put it in his pockets, and sneaked out of the shop. The boy informed the shopman, who ran after the p:isoner, overtook him, and gave him into custody. The boy finished by pointing to the prisoner, and muttering very indistinctly, " Mum, mum, mum."' The Father—" Dad, dad, dad." - The boy shcolz his head negatively, and again !puttered, " Mum, mum, mum." Mr. Paget questioned the boy's father, who said his son had not received any education secular or religious. lle had never sent him to a deaf and dumb school or asylum. Mr. Paget--:-Do you attend any church or chapel or any place of religious worship ? Jems—No, sir ; but I have as much heart in religion as those who do. Mr. Paget said it was a matter of perfect indif ference to him as to what sect his father belonged, but he wished to know what kind of intelligence the boy had, and whether he had any idea of responsi bility to God. The boy was very quick and intelli gent, but was totally ignorant of the moral obliga- lions of an oath. He could not take the evidence of the boy or bail him over to appear at the sessions, but the father had better take him to the court and tender his evidence to the judge upon the trial. William Freeston, a police-sergeant, No. 58 K, said that he took the prisoner into custody, and found the tea upon him. ' The prisoner said that " he could not tell what the deuce made him take the tea." The prisoner admitted his guilt. He wished the case to be settled at once. Mr. Paget said he would not decide the case sum warily, and committed the prisoner for trial. The Champon Swimmer of England. Some years ago a valuable silver cup was subscribed for, thanks to the exertions of the London Swimming Club, and offered as a trophy for the swimming champion ship of England. The first contest was an open one, the distance being two miles, on the Thames, from Hammer smith to Putney, and the winner Mr. E. B. Mather, the young athlete from Manchester. Three years was the stipulated time the cup had to be held against all chal lengers before it became the property of the holder. Ac cordingly Mr. Mather soon received a challenge from Richard Gardiner, ono of the most skilful of the metropo litan swimmers. The Londoner was vanquished, after an exceedingly tough swim, every yard of which was most gamely • contested. In the next race Mather had for his antagonist an experienced ex-cham pion, Professor Beckwith, who may be said to have culti vated swimming into a find art, such a mastery over the water has he achieved. Now Mather found his master. The young man of four-and twenty, strong as a lion, had to yield to the superior prowess of the veteran of forty. Beckwith once More became the chamion swimmer of Eng land. In the following year, however, 1864, Mather, who had gone through a careful course of training, challenged Beckwith, and in his turn worsted him, and again had the honour of holding the Champion's Cup. Falling ill in the summer of the same year he resigned the championship, and another open contest was fixed for the trophy. Sep tember 5 was the date of the race, which was won by Henry Gurr, then a lad of seventeen only ; his name as a swimmer had already spread far and near, from his pecu liar style of summing on the side, and which has earnedfor him the soubriquet of the "flying fish 7" coupled with his indomitable energy and increasing activity, making him invincible thus early, and marking him as the champion swimmer. Since that victory in 1864, Henry Gurr has thrown out challenge after challenge; he has travelled throughout England and Scotland, but he has remained without an equal to the present day, and as the three years of probation has now expired, the two miles champion swimming cup has become his own. The prize was presented to him last Monday night by Mr. William T. Payton, president of the London Swimming Club, at an aquatic fete given in his honour at the Wenlock Swimming Bath, City-road. An apt speech was made by Mr. Pay ton, who bade the little champion God speed on his voyage to the United States, en route for which he leaves London this day (Tuesday). THE MCKIVELL ORPHANAGE. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONES. Yesterday afternoon some thousands of p s 6rsons assembled upon the ground opposite Dudley-place, Stockwell, for the purpose of witnessing the laying the foundation stones of the three first houses of the Stockwell Orphanage for Boys, of which the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon fa president. The entrance to the ground was decorated with festoons of flowers and flags of all nations. The ground itself was a scene of the greatest animation. On the south side was constructed a tent 339 feet long, where tea was subsequently supplied. This tent was supported in front by 21 tall tricoloured poles, decorated with numberless bAnnerets and flags of all colours, and representing all nations. On the eastern side is a large wooden - erection, 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, which will be used as a playground for the boys, and in front a large tent of about the same dimensions. These were used for the purposes of were by evening meeting. The ge nera l decorations by Mr. Dillon, and the floral decorations by Messrs. Fowlo and Son, of Rolland. Nursery, Brixton-road. The ceremony commenced at half - past three, when The Rev. C. IL SPURGEON mounted upon the stone of the first house nearest the road, and ex plained very briefly the circumstances which had led them to proceed in the present work. A kind Christian lady had asked him to take charge of £20,000 for the purpose of founding an orphanage: After much consideration ho determined to accept the office, knowing that he had many friends around him who would assist.. The money given by the lady was not realisable at present, only the interest was obtainable, and therefore it was determined to sink the principal as an endowment fund. They had proceeded well, and were now about to lay the first stones of three houses. Ihe first would be called " Silver Wedding House," the funds having ' been supplied by a lady who, after li . ving most happily with her husband for 25 years, was presented by her loving lord with a cheque for £so3,which she determined to hand over for this object. The second house would be called " Merchant's House," the cost of erection being defrayed by a City merchant. The third house would be called " Workmen's House," the cost being defrayed by Mr. Higgs and his workmen. Others would be built in course of time. The. next one would be called " Unity House," for the erection of which, the sons of their senior deacon, Mr. Thomas Olney, had found the money in memory of their departed. mother. . The first stone of." Silver Wedding House " was then laid by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, a silver trowel having been presented-to him for that. pur pose by Mr. Thomas Olney, jun. The stone of the " Merchant's House " was laid by the munificent donor of the £20,000 —Mrs. ffillyard, a silver trowel having been presented to her for that purpose by the Rev. Jas. Spurgeon, father of the Rev. C. Spurgeon. The stone of the " Workmen's House" was laid by Mr. Higgs, one of the deacons of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, for which purpose he re ceived a trowel from the hand of the Rev. Jas. SpurgeoM, jun. Cheers rent the air as each stone was laid, and this part of the proceedings closed with the singing "of the " Doxology." In the evening a meeting was held in the shed and tent before referred to, over which the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon ',resided, and which was addressed by several ministers and gentlemen present.

DUBLIN, Sept. 9. The High Sheriff of the county of Galway has fixed Thursday next for holding the election of a representative in the place of the late Lord Dun kellin. No opposition will be offered to the return of Lord Canning Burke. A gratifying proof of the estimation in which the deceased nobleman was held was presented on Saturday last, when a movement, headed by the high Sheriff, was commenced with the object of erecting a monument to perpetuate his memory. A public meeting will be held on Thurs day next in furtherance of the object. Much uneasiness prevails with respect to the har vest. Heavy showers, which fell at intervals during the last week, retarded the work 'of cutting and gathering it in, and as the season advances, when the weather usually becomes more unsettled, the apprehensions of the farmer increase. Fortunately high winds, with intervals of sunshine, have repaired most of the injury inflicted by the rain, but if this week be not more settled than last serious loss will be incurred. In the county Down, there is a large breadth of grain ready for the sickle. In Galway comparatively little corn has been cut, although the reaping machine and the scythe have been in active requisition whenever opportunity offered. The potato crop is still reported to be safe in that part of the coast, which is a matter of considerable import ance. In Westmeath the rain has been very inju rious. In parts of Kerry and West Cork the hay has not yet been cut, and the other crops must suffer considerably if the weather continues unfa vourable. But it is satisfactory to learn that there too the potato crop is sound. The absence of com plaints from several counties is a hopeful circum stance, as the farmers do not wince in silence if the storm lashes them severely. A further evidence of the growing importance of Dublin as a commercial port is afforded in the fact that a - second line of steamers has now been esta blished to trade directly with the continent. It is not long since a fortnightly service was com menced, and the success of the experiment has induced some influential merchants to extend the facilities for communication by another line of ves sels. The imports of cattle and wine form a consi derable portion of the regular traffic. The general increase of shipping at the quays contrasts strik ingly with former years. In Cork also a new steam line to France has been opened. Another party of Orangemen, numbering 13, were summoned before the potty sessions bench at Newtownards, on Saturday, for a breach of the law on the 13th of July last. The magistrates were the Rev. Joseph Bradshaw, chairman. Mr. Eglinton, R.M., and Mr. Jas. Brownlow, J.P. Mr. Magee' attended to prosecute, and l‘lr. Kirbey, barrister, and Mr. M‘Lean, solicitor, appeared for the defence. The evidence was similar to that given in previous cases, the accused being identified as members of the procession, drumming, fifing, carrying banners, or wearing Orange emblems, and the result was that informations were taken against all the defendants and the cases returned for trial at the next assizes. A check has been given to the fraudulent sale of butter in the Clonmel market, which it is hoped will have a salutary effect in other places. On Fri day a dealer named Richard Ryan was charged in the borough court with making up two firkins dis honestly and selling them to Mr. Maurice Hayes, a butter merchant. On opening the firkin 31b or 41b of salt were found on the bottom of each. The de fendant was fined 30s. and 18s. costs. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. STOURBRIDGE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Stourbridge—Mr. Akroyd in the chair. The report stated that the line was opened on Ist April. It joined the Great Western and London and North Western Railways, affording passengers the opportunity of going either to Snow-hill or to New-street station, Birmingham. Although the line was not completed in accordance with the provisions of the agreement with the Great Western Company of the Ist of June, 1866, it was deemed adviSable no longer to defer opening the railway, awl it was therefore worked under the, head of .a prDvisional agreement, mainly founded on the original agree ment of 1863, which provides fur a net payment of 50 per cent. of the gross receipts to the Stourbridge Extension Company, with a rebate on traffic from and to the West Midland section. The directors re commended a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum for the past six months on the Stourbridge Railway, and at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the extension railway for the three mouths dur ing which the line had been opened for traffic. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he thought he might say, without fear of contradiction, that the works, so far as they were completed, could not be exceeded by the works upon any other railway. Resolutions were passed on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. A. C. Sherriff, M.P., declaring the dividends mentioned in the report. His Excellency Lord Lyons left town yesterday for Arundel Castle, Sussex, on a visit to the Duchess of Norfolk. We understand that the noble lord goes to Paris shortly in order to assume his new diplomatic appointment as Ambassador to the Court of France. Lord Stanley, M.P., has arrived in town from attendance on her Majesty at Balmoral. His lordship attended to his official duties at the Foreign-office yes day.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF A CONVICT.—One of the convicts from St. Mary's Prison, employed on the dockyard extension works at Chatham, attempted to escape yester day morning. Ho was engaged, with others, in the task of brickmaking at thi) lower end of St. Mary's Island. He was missed soon after work had bogun. Search was made, and Mr. Courtman, ono of the principal wardens of the prison, found the man concealed under ono of the brick making machines not in use. Ile was arrested a nd fond taken his to the prison, and of cour se he will be punishr attempt to escape. The c ul p rit is na med J. Cooper, and is under a seven years' sentence. THE AMERICAN TUBE WELL. --0 n Friday week a number of gentlemen assembled upon the cricket-ground of the Manchester Club, Old Trafford, to witness the sink ing of a well upon a system just introduced into this coun try, of which Mr. Norton, of Blackfriars-street, is local agent. Water was reached iu five minutes from the com mencement of operations, and iu 22 minutes a depth of loft. had been reached ; the pump had been fitted to the top of the well, and a flow of water was obtained. The we ll consists of a u iron pipc Ifiu. in diameter, about 12ft. long, pointed at ono end, and perforated with holes about IGin. up the pipe from the pointed extremity. A movable iron clamp is fitted round the pipe, and, upon the principle of pile driving, a 561 b. hollow weight is raised and allowed to drop upon the clamp ; thus the pipe is driven into the ground. Earth, sand, &c., first enter the pipe through the holes, and, when these arc pumped out, the theory is that pebbles rest against the pipe and form a natural filter. Such a well is free from the liability common to others of receiving surface drainage, and the water obtained from it is always cold and fresh. No dirt is made in sinking the well, no accident is possible from foul air or from the falling in of the sides ; and, besides the rapidity with which the well is made, its cheapness, about £5 for tho completion of a well lsft. deep, is another great recommendation. A farmer might have such a well in almost every field. When rock is reached in well sinking of this description the operation is more costly than NV3 have named if it becomes necessary to bore the rock. One of those wells, to the depth of 15ft., has been sunk in the Botanical-gardens. The work was done in an hour : and an excellent supply of water obtained. The in ventor accompanied the Northern army in the late Ameri can war, and was the means of procuring for the soldiers an unfailing water supply. He has sunk ninny wells in `the United States, and.'ofte at Ithaca, i nk s is saki to ba 120 ft. deep.—Manchester Guardian.

He had been remanded several times, in order to afford him an opportunity of recovering from the effects of injuries which he inflicted in attempting to commit suicide. fie was yesterday committed for trial. THE FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM.—The task of dragging the river in Long Reach for the body of the unfortunate officer of the Royal Engineers, Lieut. J. J. Robertson, who was drowned by the upsetting of a boat last Friday evening, was resumed yesterday morning by the water police of the metropolitan police force doing duty in the dockyard, and several men of the corps to which deceased belonged wore engaged in diving for the body. The hooks attached to the drags came in contact with the sunken boat on Saturday evening. It appears that only-three officers were on board the boat when the disaster occurred. The report that ladies were in the boat oewns to have been erroneous, MANSION-lIOUSE. ILLEGAL PLEDGING. -- John Tow, described as a messenger, and who stated that he was a German, unacquanted with English, was charged before Sir Robert Carden, sitting for the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, with having obtained possession, by false pretences, of a desk and two rugs, the pro perty of Mr. Willement, a paint and colour mer chant, carrying on business at 7, Bury-court, St. Mary-axe. It - appeared from the statement of Mr. Beard, the solicitor who represented the prose cutor, that Mr. Willement occupied offices at No. 7, Bury-court, in conjunction with a Mr. Lewinstein. The prisoner was employed in running messages, &c., by the latter gentleman, and was well known to a boy named Hughes who was in the service of Mr. Willement. On Saturday prisoner, who, it was alleged, understood and spoke English very well, came to the office and asked Hughes to give him the desk, and stated that Mr. Letvinstein had sent him for it. The boy gave it to him, and afterwards told his master, who then said it was his property, and questioned Mr. Lewinstein about the transaction. That gentleman - denied ever having given him any such instructions, and immediately took steps to find the prisoner. lie, however, called at the office of Mr. Willement, saw him, and said to him, " How about that desk?" Prisoner answered, " I have nothing to do with you." He sub sequently prevaricated very much, and was given into custody and taken to the Bishopsgate-street station. On his being searched two pawn-tickets were found on him, which proved to be for the rugs. The police-constable who took him into custody went to his residence, and found there 119 tickets for almost every variety of articles. These statements having been corroborated by the parties, the prisoner, who still pretended that he could not speak English, although his asseverations were couched in exceedingly good English, was com mitted for trial. D uring the examination a woman, supposed to be the prisoner's wife, was taken with hysterics, and for a brief space created quite a sen sation in the court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH POVERTY.—John Everett, an elderly man, said to have formerly be en i n r espectable circumstan c es, charged with attempt ing to commit suicide by throwing himself i nto the Serpentine, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. Sergeant Cowdy, of the park constables, having informed Mr. Tyrwhitt that Mr. Rogers, the re lieving officer of St. George's, Hanover-square, would, if the prisoner was sent to the workhouse, take charge of him, with the view of passing him to his native place, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to be taken to the workhouse, WESTMINSTER. AN ARTFUL DODGER.—William George Ellison, described as a servant, giving the address, Rotting dean, Sussex, was charged with being found in No. 11, Chapel-street, Bel grav e-square, supposed with the intention of committing a felony. It appeared that in November last the prisoner called on Miss Rosa Darby, of 9, Chapel-street, and took apartments for his " young master," making such arrangements that Miss ,Darby was foolish h to give him 4s. f or the good lodger he had got her. The " young mas t er ," however, never e tur noot n u ed up, and Miss Darby lost her lodger and 4s. Yesterday morning Miss Darby was at her mother's Chapel-street, and th e pr i soner came to about Mrs. Darby's apart men ts, and made e e i m i nts to call in the afternoo n . He accord ingly called, and a police -sergeant, Squire White, 11 B, was there to recognise. him. The prisoner was then questioned as to his whereabouts, and stated that he was the servant to the son of the Rev. Mr. Thurgood, of Rottingdean. lie made several con fused statements, and was taken into custody. Prisoner contended that his not having taken anything failed to constitute a charge of being there for an unlawful purpose. He failed to give an ac count of his master. Mr. Arnold remanded him for a week, and said he would take bail in £2O for his appearance. He was locked up in default. THAMES. THE DEAF AND DUMB WITNESS. —William Gunn, aged 50, of 47, Cornwall-street, St. George in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 11b. 4oz. of tea, value 38. 4d., the property of John James, grocer, of No. 227, High street, Shadwell. John Moss, shopman to the prosecutor, said his attention was called to the prisoner, who had been in the shop, and he went after him and stopped him, and found a pound and a half of tea in bis coat pocket. It was similar to the tea in the window. He missed some from the stock on the window board. A boy 12 years of age was put forward by his father, Joseph Jems, as a witness. The man said his son was deaf and dumb, and could only indis tinctly repeat " Mum, mum, mum," and " Dad; dad, dad." The boy came to him, and made some motions indicating that he had seen a man putting tea in his pocket, He said to the boy, " Dad, dad, SPORTING INTELL LATEST BETTING.
