1 Y 0 11 1- Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. - • ------ The Stock E xc h ange has opened this- morning with considerable strength, and the position of the Funds exhibit increased firmness, while other se curities are exceedingly well sustained. 'To-day being the 4th of the month, and a heavy amount of commercial paper arriving at maturity, it might have been reasonably supposed that the discount market would have been firm and more active, but this has not proved to be the case, as it is difficult to find employment for money in the negotiation Of first-class bills, even at 2k per cent. Consols at the present price pay a little more than 3 per Ce nt., and as they must be regarded as a better security than any commercial bills, it may be argued that they are still below their proper v alue, especially as no disturbing element can be anticipated in our financial situation, nor is there anything of a character to affect us in home or foreign politics. Agricultural prospects, it may be a dded, are in favour of values at the Stock Ex change. By the Atlantic Telegraph it is announced that another steamer had left New York, June Ist, with specie amounting to £lOO,OOO for England. D uring the last few days there has been rather inore animation exhibited in the markets for foreign and colonial produce, consequent upon the reduc tion in the Bank rate of discount. A large quantity of China tea will be offered to-day at public sale, ihile there has been a b e tt er d em and for sugar at ghtly enhanced rates. Superior qualities of coffee have sold readily at full values, while in rice the t transacti ons h ave on l y b een to a mo d erate ex ?", and not su ffi c i ent to affect values. In tallow t he dealings have been to a moderate extent, and quotations for present and forward delivery have remained steady.

Mr. Joyce and Mr. Bexley were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Thrupp for the defendant. The defendant is a lighterman, and the action was brought to recover damages for injuries which he sustained, and according to his allegations were caused - through the negligence of the defendant, a wine merchant in Water-lane, in the City of Lon don. The defendant denied that he was guilty, and pleaded further that the accident was owing en tirely to the plaintiff's own negligence. The plaintiff, in his evident stated that on the 14th of May last he was proceeding along the high way, when in endeavouring to pass a flap which was lying before the cellar of the defendant in Water lane he stumbled over one of the spikes project ing from the flap, and fell with great force on the pavement. He swore most positively that the flap was placed so as to render it impossible for him to have gone along the pavement without coming in contact with it. He was eight weeks suffering severely from contusions on the wrist and right knee, caused by the accident, which prevented him attending to his work as usual, and earning at an average from £2 to £2 10s. a week. This evidence was corroborated by two witnesses, who stated that they saw the plaintiff fall, and described the position of the flap. Mr. Kaye, a surgeon, practising in the Com mercial-road, explained the nature of the injuries which the plaintiff sustained, and said that his bill for medical attendance on him was £5 ss. For the defence only one witness was called, a gentleman named Ayres, who is in business with his father in Water-lane, their counting-house being over the cellar of the defendant. Ile stated that the defendant was entirely to blame for the accident, as he " came along the pavement in a crab-like fashion," looking after a companion from whom he had just parted. lie had no doubt that the plaintiff could have avoided coming in contact with the flap if he only looked before. lle said that he and his father did business for the defendant in carting, and that ;he was placed in the gutt er , so as to offer no flap obstruction to any passenger who exercised the most ordinary caution. The jury almost immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at £25. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, beforo Mr. Baron Piggott and a Common Jury.) This was an action to obtain compensation in damages for an alleged slander. Mr. Francis was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., and Mr. Lewis for the defen dant. It appeared that the plaintiff in this case was a dressmaker at Orton and the defendant resided in the same place. The alleged slander was that the defendant had come to the plaintiff's shop and found his wife there, and had stated that she had sub stituted one lining belonging to him for another, and that an inferior lining had been put into his wife's dress. Marion Hyde said that she was the stepdaughter of Mrs. Hyde, and she worked with her as a dress maker. She remembered the 30th June. She was at work when Mr. White came outside the window, and said her mamma had kept his good lining and seat an inferior article home in the dress. He said it cost Bd. a yard. She helped to make up the dress, and the right lining was put in it. On the 9th July she remembered Mr. Juke and the defendant coming to the house. Mr. Hyde saw them first, and she afterwards repeated what be had said in the presence of them all, and when she had finished he said it was his pet that made him say this. He capered about the room afterwards, and then went away. Cross-examined—On the 30th June he said " Good morning, ladies," and they said " Good morning." He said on both occasions, " You have made a mistake, and sent me an inferior lining i n . stead of the one belonging to me, and substituted one out of your own shop." Miss Thomson is an apprentice to Mrs. Hyde. Was present on the 30th June when defendant came to the window. Her evidence corroborated the last witness's statement. Cross-examined—Mrs. Hyde said there could be no mistake, because she kept all the linings wrapped up separately. Mr. Huddlestone—Did not Mr. White say that possibly there might be a mistake, because one of the young ladies might have put it in by mistake ? Witness—No. She did not know what brought ,he answer "there could be no mistake" from Mrs. [ y de. Mr. Francis here interrupted, when Mr. Huddle stone remarked that he would lead the witness as gently as a lamb—(laughter)—as if he allowed his learned friend to lead the jury to believe that he had badgered her in that case, he should stand no chance against her blue ribbons with the jury. (Laughter.) Mary Bird, another apprentice, gave similar evidence. The case MIS proceeding w hen wo mit to prezz, AMTING MARKET. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. 141:4,11sineu has been animated.

BOW-STREET. THE DISTURBANCE AT PROFESSOR HARRISON'S. —The summonses granted by 111 r. Flower against " Professor" Harrison, of the Opera Tavern, late Sheridan Knowles, for violently assaulting two men named Rainey and Jolly were heard to-day. Mr. Lewis appeared for the complainants and Mr. Child for the defendant. The complainant Rainey said on the evening in question he was in Professor Harrison's house when he heard a quarrel with a man about a shilling, whiAt continued for some time, when the defendant came into the tap-room, and after some observations knocked him (Rainey) down. They had a struggle on the ground, when Jolly came in and succeeded in parting Harrison and himself. The disturbance continued for some time, until at length Harrison, who was intoxicated, took up a pint pot and in flicted wounds of such a serious nature on himself and Jolly that they both had to be taken to the hospital. A witness named Collins confirmed the evidence of the complainants, and said that defendant was intoxicated at the time, and had been so for some time previcus to the assault. Mr. Lewis Wilcocks said he was assistant house surgeon to King's College Hospital. He saw the two men—Jolly and Rainey—about half past nine la3t Monday week. Jolly had five cuts about various parts of the skull. They were of considerable length, and deep. The other man, Rainey, had, two cuts on the scalp, and a severe bruise on the nose. At the time he saw them they were fairly sober. They were still out-patients, but their wounds were rapidly healing. The wounds were severe. Mr. Flowers—Would a publichouse pot car measure inflict the blows on the men? Witness—lt would be just the sort of thing to produce them, as they were not clead cuts. Police-constable 138 F said he was on duty near the Sheridan Knowles. He was fetched to the publichouse by a man, who said Mr. Harrison was assaulted in the tap-room. When he got there he found Mr. Harrison in one corner and a number of men round him amongst them the plaintiffs. They were all assaulting him, and he saw him hit the two prosecutors with the pint pot. Mr. Harrison was intoxicated, and he did not think it was absolutely necessary for him to strike the men in the way he did. In answer to Mr. Childs, the witness said he thought the defendant was being furiously assaulted. When he first went into the room there were only the two men in the tap-room assaulting Mr. Har rison, but the instant he got there a crowd seemed instantly to rush from the end of the room, and they all set upon the defendant and assaulted him. The defendant struck about with the pot., and he (witness) got hit amongst the rest. He could not say how many men were in the tap-room at ono time—more than five. He assisted the defendant because he saw him lying on the settle being assaulted. He did not know that Mrs. Har rison had on the same day as the assault took place applied for protection against her hussand. Busk, warrant officer of Bow-street po lice-court, said on the 28th of last month he went to execute the two warrants on defendant. lie saw him to his house, and there he told him he had got two warrants for his apprehension for assaulting the complainants. Defendant said, " Oh, I was just coining up to get summonses against them for assaulting me." The defendant had two black eyes at the time. He took defendant to the sta tion, and, after a short hearing, the defendant was bailed. Mr. Child said that Mr. Harrison in all that he had done had only acted in self-defence, and he was not saying too much in stating that Mr. Harrison was in peril of his life, and it was only under these circumstances that he had inflicted the wounds on the complainant; which ho now very much re gretted. Mr. Jenkin, a surgeon, said he was called in to see Mr. Harrison after the disturbauce. He found him very much bruised all over the body, and suf fering so much that he directed him to keep his bed. Mr. F. C. Hunt, of the Crown and Cushion, Russell-street, said he was in the defendant's house on the evening of the disturbance. He heard a great disturbance in the taproom, and after that he heard Harrison distinclty call out " Let go, let go," and another voice kept calling out " Kill him." The witness was told that if he went into the room he would be very severely injured. By Mr. Lewis—He did not know the defendant as a pugilist, or that he taught the " noble art" at the Sheridan Knowles. He did not know him under the soubriquet of " Strong Jack." He knew him only as Professor Harrison, and that he displayed his feats of strength. He did not know him as a fighting man, and he did not reco ll ect ever see i ng a fi g hting man in his house, although doubtless many used it. By Mr. Childs—The defendant was a professor of athletics. Mr. Ilawkins, jun., of the. Cherry Tree, South gate, said he was at the defendant's house, and saw the disturbance. Ile saw Jolly take Harrison by the throat, and two other men then commenced striking him. Defendant told the men who were assaulting him that if they did not leave off he would use the pot. They did not do so, and then defen dant took up the pot, and by that he believed he preserved his life. Cross-examined—lle never knew the defendant as a pugilist. Mr. Croucher, of 30, Hart-street, said he was at the defendant's house when the assault took place. He saw Jolly take up a chair, and Rainey a piece of board, with which they assaulted the defendant. Mr. Curran, of Cleveland -street, gave similar evidence, but in addition he said he saw the defend ant knocked down, and that he heard the cry of " Kill him, kill him." Mr. Flower committed the defendant for trial, bat he accepted the bail tendered on the former oc casions for his appearance at the sessions. THAMES. CON. AND ROBBERY.—Charles Fox, a young man, was charged with stealing a large quan tity of household furniture, the property of William Cavalier, of William-street, Stepney-green. The Prosecutor said he was a milkman, and that at o present he himself, room, and on being asked t c d conducted ds said e conducted concerts, i dh and took the chair at "sing 5enf. ,.8.,, He had known explain the prisoner for some time, and allowed him to have his meals in his room . in William -street because he had no home, and treated him in a very hospitable manner. The prisoner made a very ungrateful re turn for this by robbing him of his wife and also of his furniture on Saturday week. The pri soner had since been living with he r . He saw some ' of his things in a room which the prisoner had taken in Barnsbury-street, Bethnal-green.. Jane Thorpe and other witnesses saw the pri soner remove the prosecutor's goods in his absence, and Airs. Cavalier, the faithless wife, leave him. The prisoner made a long rambling defence, describing Mrs. Cavalier as a loose woman, who had cohabited with him a long time ago. He lent money to the prosecutor, and Mrs. Cavalier, who was neglected by her husband, allowed him to take a few things. Cavalier—Why, he emptied my room, and among the things were five chairs. This is his kindness to me after the manner I have behaved to him. He has robbed me of my goods, and robbed me o f my wife. "Oh frailty, thy name is woman." (A 1 a ugh .) A police constable, named Moxon, said he found the prisoner in possession of Mr. Cavalier's pro perty, but he had not discovered the faithless wife. The prisoner was remanded for a week.

THE ROYAL GATHERING IN BERK SHIRE. (From our. Special Sporting Correspondent.) ASCOT, Tuesday Morning. The renewed rain of yesterday gave the "finish" to a much-desired improvement in " the going," and the race-course is now in beautiful condition. We never recollect so many horses being at exer cise here on one morning, for soon after daybreak to-day upwards of one hundred and fifty showed on the heath, amongst them being Achievement, Ilippia, Hermit, Julius, Knight of the Garter, Marksman, and Vauban, of the three year old division, and Grimston, Hatchment, King Alfred, Michael de Basco, Restitution, and Suffolk of the " twos." The presence of these thirteen alone would have been sufficient to satisfy the " early birds" who were picking up the worms, and of the latter class was a pretty good sprinkling. Lady Elizabeth had not accompanied the Danebury string which had arrived on the previous morning, nor had Lord Lyon been sent on with the two sisters. The absence of Savernake, too, was a theme of free discussion, and opened the way to a fresh series of commentations anent the breaking of blood-vessels in the head. Mr. Fleming's horses were early at work, and we were glad to see that gentleman convalescent. His Van Amburgh went a nice mile and a half gallop ; and Deacon also gave Cecrops, Nancy, and Ajax fine healthy exercise. The Baron's team attracted much attention, for Lothario was going splendidly, and Hippia never appeared to greater advantage, whilst the two year _ . olds moved with the utmost freedom, especially Suffolk and Restitution. Gomera took Vauban, Lord of the Dales, and Harpenden along merrily ; and Seville, Ischia, and Lady Hester galloped by themselves. All did about a mile, and cantered freely. The Hermit accompanied Rama and Knight of the Garter in a mile and a half steady spin ; and little Bertie was doing duty with Schiedam, Musa, and some others belonging to the Confederacy. Tormentor led Stephen Langton and Bounceaway a mile and three quarters, and Mat Dawson gave Julius, Bismark, and Flying Scud a rattling good mile gallop, whilst Speculum did nearly as much, and Opoponax followed Wild Agnes for a mile and a half. Lord Stamford's worked satisfactorily, particu larly The Peer and Archimedes. The two year olds though are moderate. Marksman had a splendid canter, and then a mile and three luarters gallop ; Mirella taking the Cordelia colt, the Parson, and Black Diamond over a mile fast. Douro led Stokeley and Whirligig nearlya couple of miles, and the three looked and went exceedingly well. Dover was paying great attention to Achieve ment and Hatchment. The former is in rare form, and never galloped better than she did this morn ing, going a mile and a half splendidly. Hatch ment had a mile and a quarter steady spin. Wroughton and Thornapple walked about for some time, after which they cantered twice, and went a mile and a half steady gallop. The "darkie" has evidently been amiss, but Wroughton has im proved since Bath. Owain Glyndwr and the Vixen colt were the most sought after in William Goater's string, as great things aro expected of them for their engagements here. Both are in rare trim and worked well, their mile and three quarters gallop being got through beautifully. Fal-lal, Thalia, and Foresight did about a mile and a quarter. Westwick and Grand Cross alone represented the Whitewall stable, the two Knights having been dis posed of at Tattersall's rostrum yesterday, and Klarinska, with some others, being still at Leather head. The two first mentioned galloped very near a couple of miles. Jennings gave Dragon a mile and a quarter, and Drewitt sent Zenobia half a mile further than that, but restricted Ostreger and Actalt, to mile work. Miss Harriette galloped two miles, and Grimston did a mile and a quarter with Chapel Royal and Mrs. Stratton. Vandervelde galloped a mile and a half fast. The Corporal and Tynedale trotted and cantered freely, and finished up with a mile and a half gallop. Gilbert's lot included Sealskin, Ravioli, and Roquefort, and the three galloped nigh on a couple of miles ; and Wadlow sent Moulsey and the At tack gelding a similar distance. Alec Taylor was busy with Pintail and Dulcet. There were conflicting opinions about Michael de Basco, the Derby colt in William Day's stable, and he struck us as being very backward. Still he is a grand mover,.and galloped over a mile in fine form. _ _ Vigorow wati in good exercin )vitli Venom, Nul Jones, and Vici ; and the big Crosslanes colt did plenty. Vigorous looks fit, and went well. We had no time, or rather opportunity, to note the movements of the others, but all did a fair amount of work ; and the above particulars include the whole of what the several " cracks " and promi nent favourites went through. 1121 12 3 33j i 4i 1817 1 O 152 o 46 6 j j 13t 29} 631 21 li 2.3 191 19 117 k 8 181 17 74 Kt 202 84 a 7.1 a 8i 1:2 12 8)1 UO 1.6 k 16 a le3l 103 1101 11 5. 51 Ilii i i 1.5 f 1021 IMPERIAL PARLIAHENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, in moving the second reading of this bill, that in consequence of the groat in crease in insurance amongst the working classes, it was desirable that there should be an easy mode for the widow and children to obtain their rights under these policies. One office alone had issued 332,000 policies. The bill was read a second time. THE COUNTY COURTS ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

Earl GREY said that ho had asked his noble friend to postpone the third reading of this important bill that cer tain clauses might bo thoroughtly investigated into. lie thought that the further postponement of the bill for a fortnight would give them more scopo to understand what wore the provisions of the bill. Lord REDES DALE said that it was most inconvenient to do so. But he would ask in what form they were again to discuss the clauses of the bill. Lord LYTTLErON said that if the house wished it he was quite willing to postpone the third reading of the bill. A NOBLE LORD said that ho thought it would be now convenient if the third reading took place at once, and the noble earl could then move an amendment. It was then agreed that the bill bo read a third time on Friday, the 21st inst. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS. -THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

BRANDING A NAVAL CADET. Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the First Lord of the Admi ralty if it was true, as stated in the public papers, that a young naval cadet on board the frigate Phcobe was lashed to a gun by some of his brother midshipmen, and then branded on the noso with the mark of the broad arrow ; and, if true, what steps the Board of Admiralty intended to take to punish the offenders. Mr. CORRY said it having been reported to the Admiralty by the Commander-in-Chief at Devonport that a practical joke, of a very disgraceful character, had been practised oa board the Phoebe, the two young officers in question had been dismissed the service, and a full investigation ordered into the circumstances of the case. On seeing the notice on the paper this morn ing ho telegraphed to Devonport and received the follow ing reply :—" Wholly untrue that gunpowder was rubbed in; newspaper reports greatly exaggerated; details will bo sent by post." Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE asked if the young men had been dismissed without a court martial or inquiry of any kind ? Mr. CORRY said they had been dismissed in conse quence of the representations made by the Commander-in- Chief at Devonport. Sir W. GA LL WEY observed that it was tho usual prac tice to brand the clothes of young gentlemen entering the navy with the mark of the broad arrow, and read a letter which had been written by a passenger to the father of one of the midshipmen. He thought the Admiralty had acted m st hastily. CUMULATIVE VOTING. Mr. FAWCETT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would give the house, or the Committee on the Representation cf the People Bill, an opportunity of discuss ing the expediency of adopting the modes of voting called " cumulative" and "single" voting, on constituencies re turning more than one member to Parliament before pro ceeding to consider the mode of assignment of the seats now at the disposal of the Government. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, who had been obliged to leave the house, had asked him to state that he could not consent to enter into any arrangement such as that alluded to, but to suggest to the hon. gentleman that there would be no difficulty in himself finding an opportunity to raise a discussion on the question. THE BANKRUPTCY LAWS. I [Mr. SEL IVYN moved the second reading of this bill. Sir R. PALMER pointed out the changes in the present bill with that introduced last year, and said he did not think the deviations were by any means an improvement. With respect to the debt of the petitioning creditor being fixed at £5O, he thought it far better to leave the debt of the petitioning creditor without any limit. But it would then be said that that would enable a creditor with a debt of trifling amount to present a petition in bankruptcy against a creditor. He did not see any great hardship in that, because it the debtor re fused to pay small sums there would be all the more likeli hood that he would not pay any larger sums. Then again with respect to persons declaring themselves bankrupts, he thought the provisions of the former bill far before that of the bill now under consideration, because by the present measure a debtor was enabled to make himself bankrupt at any time and in any way ho pleased, this taking away the common law right every creditor possessed of adopting his own mode to obtain payment of his debts. With respect to discharge, ho knew it was a very difficult matter to deal with. In the bill he had the honour to in troduce last year, it was proposed that when a person paid 6s. Bd. in the pound, and had committed no offence u ut nder the act, he should have an imme diate discharge, b the proposal of the hon. and learn ed g entleman opposite had fixed the amount at 10s. Considering the very few bankrupts who had paid so la•ge a sum, he thought fixing so large an amount was tantamount to refusing all discharge from debt, so far as after acquired property was concerned. When the Bankruptcy Court went iu and made a clean sweep of all that a man possessed towards the redemption of his debt, he thought it was un fair, having taken his all, to allow his old liabilities to be kept constantly hanging over his head. Ho thought, however, the thanks of the house and the country were due to the hon. and learned gentleman for his contribu tion towards the improvement of the law. Mr. MILL approved of the amendments to be proposed by the hon. and learned gentleman the member for the University of Cambridge. He had a notice on the riper last session referring to this matter, and at the proper time, and the opportunity offered, he should bring it forward. The point he wished to deal with was, that where debtors kept just within the strict letter of the law, and with culpable temerity risked and lost property belonging to their creditors. (Hear, hear.) He should move an amendment to deal with that and other matters on a future occasion. Mr. E. K. HARSLAKE said the great difficulty , in re forming the bankruptcy law was the question of after acquired property. He thought the bill of the Attorney- General hit the happy medium between too great cruelty and too great leniency, and therefore ho should give i` cordial support. LEFT SITTING.

Perry, of Clicaps i With they submit to the public to supply This is the name given by the a new substance, w want long felt, viz., perfect lead or coloured pe nc il tabletst u s o d f glazed d in o slates. memorandum The " Bostonite" is far super i or to b discoloured ivory t a bl e t s hitherto bo and pocket-b oo k s, as it is very agreeable upon. The writin g w h en done can n uand write easily be removed, and as regards weight and appearance it is all that can be desired. It will supersede altogether in schools the ivory or porcelain slates, as the " Bostonite" slate possesses the advantages of being smoother and more pleasant to write upon. It is very light, and not liable to be broken. These advantages will be quite sufficient to secure for it extended patronage, as far as scholastic purposes are concerned, but the demand for it in the commercial world will become very great, owing to the convenient form into which it is manufactured. There are upright memorandum tablets in three sizes, book slates, drawing tablets, office slates, in six convenient sizes, and leaf tablets in almost every variety of size and shape—from the convenient little trifle fur the waistcoat pocket up to the 10 inch slate to be found in every well ordered counting-house. We believe it is intended to apply the new discovery in the production of a variety of other useful articles, all of which doubtless will be highly . appreciated by the public, ih ire 20 st st ICO _ st too 1 1041 5 62 3
