Plaintif f is a domestic servant, and she sought to recover one month's wages from defeNdant, who is a pUblican. Plaintiff slated that she had been engaged by defendant, and worked for her one week. Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—Now, did the defendant discharge you? His Honour—How cams you to leave, tiaeU ? Plaintiff—l left of my own accord. The fact was I met with an accident and could not work. His Honour—l am afraid the law is against you. Plaintlfr—l told Mrs. Rountree that I could not work. His Honour—How did the accido - Lt ^ecar ? - Plaintiff--I fell down the cellar stairs. The barman had left the cellar flap open. I fell down and hurt my leg.. Mr. Buchanan—The fact, as I am instructed, are these —Plaintiff did fall down the stairs, and when my client heard of it she sent immediately for a doctor, and the plaintiff would not wait, but went away directly, so that when the doctor arrived there was no patient. His Honour (t 9 plaimiff)—lt is a very hard case, but the law is against you. Mr. Thompson (clerk sitting for the chief clerk) made a suggestion to his Honour, who replied—" I know there is a week actually earned, but the wages are payable monthly, and the hiring was monthly, and the defendant sent for competent medical assistance. It is a hard case, but I must find for defendant, who will, I imagine, not ask for costs. Mr. Buchanan—Of course not; and I would suggest that your Honour do order the plaintiff to have back her fees. It is a hard case. His Honour (after consulting Mr. Thompson) ordered a return of the hearing fees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. KNOCKER WRENCHING.-A MORNING'S AMUSEMENT. —Four well•-dressed young men, who gave the names of Edward Harrison and George Williams, of 27, Stanley street, Brompton ; William Fuller, of 63, Warren-street; and Frederick James Collins, of 6, Upper Fitzroy-street, clerks, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wrenching the knockers off several doors in Regent-street, Little Rupert-street, George-court, Warwick-street, &c. The knockers in a heap were placed in front of the wit ness box, and on the prisoners being placed in the dock they seemed themselves not a little astonished at the extent of their spoil. The court was crowded with persons whose knockers had been taken off. Peacock, 99 C, said—About three o'clock this morning, while at the top of Rupert-street, I saw the prisoners going along the street, two on each side, larking with one another. I placed myself in a doorway and saw the prisoners in pairs go up to the houses 17 and 44, Harrison and Williams being at 17 and Collins and Fuller at 44. After trying almost every door in the street apparently pulling at the knockers, they went into Little Rupert-street, and Harri son and Williams went up to the door of 73 and took hold of the knocker,' and then came back towards me, the other two still trying the knockers on the opposite side of the street. I saw Fuller and Collins go to No. 38, Rupert street, and each of them took hold of the knocker and tried to wrench it off. I then took Harrison and Williams into custody and to the station. They appeared to have been drinking. After they were charged they said they had not wrenched any off, but had only been rying to do so. I afterwards went back and missed the knockers from the doors of 22, 17, 44, 45, and 50 in Rupert-street, one from 17, George-court, and one from 9, Little Rupert-street, and one from 79, Arundel-street. The knockers were all safe on the doors at ten o'clock. I afterwards apprehended Collins and Fuller, and they had been drinking, and just where they were taken three knockers were found on the ground. Three other knockers were brought to the station by the road sweeper, and some were found in the cell— twelve in all. Varrow, 140 C, said—After Harrison and Williams were put in a cell I went into it an 3 found three knockers under the seat. Harrison said the others had taken them off and given them to them. Mr. Webb, Inspector of C Division, said the owners of several knockers were in court and could identify them. Here a number of persons stepped forward and identified their knockers—one of them statinf , that it was the third time in four years that he had had his knocker taken, and that they seemed t' have'a fancy for his knocker.' (Laughter.) Sergeant Draper said that while the charge was being taken, he saw Harrison stoop down and a knocker was found near his f,et. Mr. Tyrwhitt having cautioned them, asked them if they wished to say anything, The pi isoncrs having made a few remarks not of a ma terial nature, not denying the charge, Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was such a wholesale ease that it was a fair case for trial—it was clearly a taking away of property, but he wou3d take bail. THE BUDGET. (From the City Article.) Although its totals are more favourable than had been anticipated, the Budget met with a very cold reception in the City yesterday morn ing. A large portinn of the trading community feel great disappointment that the opportunity afforded by the surplus has not been made use of to justify the experiment of a reduction of the tea duties and an equalisation of those on sugar, which might have resulted at the end of one or two years, as on previous occasions, in producing an in crease rather than a diminution of revenue. On every side the feeling prevails that the present mo ment is scarcely a fitting one for the entire abolition of any of our sources of income, and that therefore all lightening of taxation should have been effected by operating upon items which would allow the prospect of the loss being speedily made up. In tea and sugar that prospect would have been cer tain, while it is also seen that the Income Tax offers the advantage of being easily increased in case of emergency. The feature of Mr. Gladstone's speech, however, which has excited the strongest remark consists in the reiteration virtually of a notice that the country shall not be allowed to look for any improvement in its fiscal arrangements that might enable the Income Tax to be wholly or partially removed so long as it is (4 its pleasure to be go verned" at a cost of between £70,000,000 and £75,000,000 a-year. The answer of the city to that taunt is that it is not the pleasure of the coun try to be governed at any such cost, that the coun try would be very glad to find that the administra tion of its affairs could be conducted without any expense whatever, but that it is sensible of the value of its commerce, its dignity, and its indepen dence, and that, however tremendous may be the sacrifice required in the shape of insurance to prevent the loss of those blessings, the country is sufficiently wise, prudent, and economical to insist that the sacrifice shall be made. It is the business of Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues to see that this object is gained with as little waste and immorality as possible, and not, at a time when every family feels the pressure occasioned by the overwhelming ar maments of a neighbouring nation, to hint to the industrious people of England, in return for their patriotism, that the estimates are simply framed to pander to an outlay which can be kept up or aban doned according to the impulses of their taste. RAILWAY IN7TLLIGENCE. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE. A special general meeting of this company was held at Maryport on Monday, Mr. J. P. Stenhouse in the chair. The object of the meeting was to obtain the sanc tion of the shareholders to the construction of a branchline of railway, previous to appearing before a committee of the House of Commons in opposition to a similar project by the Silloth and Carlisle Railway Company. The branch projected by the Maryport Company was through the adjacent coal fields in the direction of Ireby and Bolton. It was stated ;by the secretary ; that they had reason to believe that, if the branch were made, the proprietors of the coal fields would develop their resources to a greater extent ; and it had been esti mated that it would yield, 100,000 tons of coal per annum for upwards of 100 years. Several shareholders expressedthemselves favour able to the project, which was opposed only by one, on the ground of the expense of opposition and the probable exhaustion of the coal fields before the expenseincurred could be repaid. The proposition of the directors was carried. I NIPE REAL PA "ILIA MENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THis PAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. LORD PALMERSTON. Lord PALMERSTON, who was introdUced :by Sir G. Grey and the Lord Advocate, took the oaths and his seat for Tiverton. The noble lord was received - with cheers from both sides of the house. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE' S SISTER. Several petitions were presented in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and some to the contrary, the former considerably preponderating. TUE MONUMENT ...

The directors state in their report that the engi neer-in-chief anticipates that the line between Nega patam and Trivalore, 141 miles, will be ready for opening in May, and the whole throughout to Trichinopoly in September. Notwithstanding the land was not obtained, and the works not actively commenced until August, 1859, the railway will be completed and equipped in the space of two years—a result which must be considered very satisfactory, especially is having been accom plished under the superintendence of the company's officers, without the intervention of contractors. During the year 1860 23 vessels were despatched with permanent way materials and stores to the value of £118,573, and since then the remainder of the materials required for the compktiom of the line has been forwarded. The directors confidently believe that tho capital account of the first section of the line, 80 miles in length, will be closed for a sum not exceeding £7,000 per mile, and that the traffic will be remunerative. They have appointed Mr. W. S. Betts, of the Great Northern Railway, to undertake the offices of agent and traffic manager in India. Shares to the amount of £155,000 have been converted into stock, and immediate steps will be taken to consolidate the remainder. The capital account showed that £416,142 had been received, and £381,861 expended, leaying a, balance Qf 434,2131.

Colonel FRENCH asked the Chief Commissioner of Works if his attention had been directed to the monument now in progress of erection at the entrance to Westminster School, and inquired if he had any power to prevent such erection ? Mr. COWPER said that the act relating to such subjects required that before erecting statues in public places the consent of the Commissioners of the Board of Works should be consulted. This had not been done, but at the same time as the omission was made in ignorance of the law, no opposition would be offered on the part of the Commissioners in question. Certainly if he had been consulted he would have hesitated before giving his assent to anything so incongruous as placing medians' statues on classic columns. DOCKYARDS, &c. Sir F. SMITH gave notice that on Tuesday next he would call the attention of the house to. the subject of her Majesty's dockyards, and to move that it was not expedient to expend the whole of the money that had been voted for the purposes of the Admiralty. TRUSTEES CHARITIES BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. SELWYN presented a petition from the Wesleyan body against 'this bill as being injurious to their interests. The hon. and learned member then moved that the bill be committed this day six months. He said that he had addressed the house at such length that he would not occupy their attention to any extent. He said that the principle on which it ap peared desirable to proceed in respect to these matters was one of compromise and conciliation. Considering the number of the Wesleyan body, he contended that the great body of the Dissenters were as much opposed to this bill as members of the Church of England, and that its supporters were to be found only amongst those political Dissenters, of whose opinions the Liberation Society was the exponent. He contended that the opera tion of the bill would be most injurious to the interests of religion, and he trusted the house would reject so objectionable a measure. He thought, before they proceeded with the bill, they should see how the measure which the house had already passed in reference to the subject worked. Mr. BEECROFT seconded the amendment, and con sidered that the subject proposed to be dealt with by the bill should be left to the decision of our lawcourta. The bill was in contravention of the intentions of these endowed chari ties, and it was in ,fact a measure of spoliation, and an at tempt to sever education from religion, which would be a most perilous experiment. Mr. MELLOR supported the bill, the object of which he said was merely to render eligible persons who were fitted to discharge the duties of trustees without reference to their particular religious tenets: He said, when he introduced a bill on this subject, which was identical with the present, he was not influenced by the Liberation Society, but solely from a belief that it was carrying out fully the principle of civil andreligious liberty. He denied, as had been asserted by the opponentsofthebill, that its advocates were those who were indifferent to the interests of religion, or who were actuated solely by political motives. He expressed a hope that the house would not reject a bill of this enlightened character. Mr. HARDY opposed the bill at some length. Mr. DILLWYN, the mover of the bill, defended its principle. He was desirous to adopt any course calculated to effect conciliation, but he did not think the part taken by the opponents of the bill calculated to lead to that result. The bill was not -one of spoliation as had been asserted, but would allow any honour able man to discharge the duties that might be entrusted to him in regard to these charities He pointed out the litigation that had arisen out of the present state of the law, by which Dissenters were excluded from the performance of functions for which they perfectly qualified. He, and those who agreed with him, had been accused of an aggression on the Church, which he utterly denied ; and as regarded him, he asserted that, in bringing forward this bill, he was onlyacting up to his:sincere convictions. He defended also the Liberation Society from the imputations thrown on them, and contended that the Church party were the ag gressors. He was a member of the Church of England, and did not wish to attack her temporalities, but he considered that the Church should assume a more humble attitude and a more Christian spirit with respect to the remainder of the community. Lord R-CECIL said that the hon. member for Swansea (Mr. Dillwyn) had defended himself but not his bill, the case for which had entirely failed. He denied that the effect of this bill would be to restore harmony in reference to these charities or be attended with the other results ascribed to it. The Dissenters according to their own description were not animated by a de sire to injure the Church, - but he would ask if the conduct of Dissenters in that house justified that de scription. These gentlemen, estimable as they were, were restrained by no scruple in regard to the Church—omitted no opportunity to assail her, and to seize her property. He believed this was the general feeling of Dissenters, and argued that it could not be otherwise, as they were opposed to the Church from conviction, and, if honest, must pursue the course he had described. In his opinion, Dissenters and Roman Catholics if admitted to the trusteeship of these (Amities would conscientiously endeavour to colour the teaching at the schools of those foundations by their own doctrines. He described the conduct which the Liberation Society in regard to the Church as reckless in the measures adopted and the passions aroused, and contended that the measure was in reality what it had been designated—one of spoliation. Mr. HADFIELD supported tho motion for going into committee.] ille denied that heartburnings would result, as had been predicted, from the operation of this bill, and referred to the Manchester Grammar school where the business had been transacted more efficiently since Dis sent3rs were admitted into the trusteeship. The Dissenters by their institutions were educating the country and he referred t) the fact that out of the 35,000 places of worship in the kingdom, not more than 100 or 200 rectived endowment. Dissenters did not want endowment, as it would be the greatest injury that could be inflicted on them, and he inferred that no injury could arise from their admission into these trusteeships. Mr. ADDERLEY supported the amendment, and main tained that the act introduced by Lord Cranworth had relieved Dissenters of any just ground for complaint, [LEFT SPEAKING.] NEWMARKET RACES.—(This Day.)

The result of the races at Newmarket has settled the pre tensions of several of the candidates for Two Thousand and Derby honours. The success of Russley in the Third Biennial has given an increased tone of firmness to Dundee in the Derby quotations, .and Sweet Hawthorn in the Two Thousand. If Sweet Hawthorn is better at the weights than Russley, it is no use looking further for the winner. This daughter of Sweetmeat was out six times last year, and only won once at the Newmarket Houghton, where she beat Eborus and Imaus in a sweepstakes. I shall in the meantime still hold to the opinion given three months ago, that Russley will turn out Mr. Merry's best in the Two Thousand, and it would not astonish me to see Folkestone his representative in the Derby. This son of Birdcatcher was out sixteen times last year, and was successful in ten of.his engagements, beating almost every horse at present in the betting. His performances, in my opinion, are quite equal to Dundee's, if not superior. The Thirsk meeting commences to-morrow and extends over Friday, but, clashing as it does with the Newmarket meeting, it will not be so largely patronised as it otherwise would have been. The industry and tack of Mr. Lancaster, the clerk of the course, is at once seen on a glance at his well-filled list, the entries to the Hambleton and Sowerby Plates, the Mowbray Stakes, the Hunt Cup, and the Thirsk Handicap being very large. The Hambleton Plate has an entry of 44, the following appearing the most favourably handicapped, namely : Walkington, Bst Sib ; Cambondo, 7st 51b ; Miss Dunstable, ist 41b ; Lopcatcher (including 31b extra), 7st ; and Ber nice, Gst 121 b. One of these ought to furnish the winner. My preference for them being in the order named. In the Sowerby Plate, Hegira, Bab-at-the-Bowster, and ' Charing Cross appear the most favourably weighted ; and Repartee or Birdlime ought to win the Mowbray Stakes. The Thirsk Handicap has 49 subs. Amongst those that take my attention are Syringe, 4 yrs, Bst 31b ; Brown Hol land, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Walkington, 4 yrs, 7st 81b ; Desmond, 4 yrs, 7st 71b Malpas, 4 yrs, 7st 41b ; and Lop - catcher, 3 yrs, Gst 41b.

Every time the drag was applied it brought up over 2,000 oyEtera ; and each of the three fascines of row No. 10, sunk in 1859, and just brought up for examination, was found to contain 20,000 young oysters, from three to five centimetres in diameter. Those fascines, exhibited in various towns of Britifany, created universal amazement, and will probably 1944 t 9 gle 94011441 W 9g 11l 4 11 Y MY( Inak . ,—Quo 0 1110, THE NAVE The party of seamen, 100 in number, despc.tched to the Victoria Docks for the purpose of toasting the Warrior, - yesterday returned to Woolwich in command of Mr. Thomas, master of the flagship Fisgard ; and this morning Mr. Jones, master rigger, with a party of 50 of his department, pro ceeded from Woolwich to commence rigging. The Warrior's chain cables (24 inch), manufactured by Messrs. Lennox and Co., were yesterday tested at Woolwich, and bore the strain of 101 tons, ordered by the Admiralty as the regulated test, well. The remainder of the masts, yards, spars, and other gear for the Warrior, iron steamer, were shipped at Chatham dockyard yesterday on board one of the Government lighters, and towed round to the Victoria Dock, to be put on board that vessel by the shipwrights sent from Woolwich dockyard for that purpose. The main and foretopmasts are of large size and great strength, each measuring 65 ft. inlengtb, and weighing rather more than, three tone. The mizentopmastmeasures 50 ft., and its weight is about two tons. The fore and mainyards are each gs large as the masts of many large ships, each measuring 105 feet in length, and weighing up. wards of six tons. The length of the mizen yard is 71 feet. The three topsail yards are also of great size and strength, the two largest being each 74 feet long, and weighing about two tons. The whole of the masts, yards, &c., for the Warrior have been. constructed of unusual strength under the imme diate superintendence of the officials connected with the meeting department at Chatham doetyard. The lower masts of the Warrior have all been fixed in their places by means of the Chatham sheer hulk, which was sent to the Victoria Docks for that pur pose. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Vixen, 6, Commander Frederick W. Richards, from the Pacific, has arrived at Woolwieh to be paid off. Commander Hawker, acting in the absence (on a week's leave) of the Commodore Superintendent of the dockyard, went on botird yesterday morning and inspected the ship, and having mustered the crew, 165 in number, on the quarter-deal, he expressed his admiration of their fine and healthy looking appearance, and the clean and admirable condition of the ship throughout. The Vixen had an exceedingly prosperous voyage home, and has arrived without having experienced a single case of sickness in the ship. She commenced dismantling immediately after her arrival, and will be ready to be paid off by Saturday next should the Admiralty so decide. She was fitted out at Woolwich in October, 1857, having been previously employed in transporting machinery and naval stores during the Crimean war, and bore the cognomen of the " Saucy Vixen," The authorities at Woolwich are desirous of testifying that the character of the Vixen, and her neat and orderly trim, are deserving of the highest official encomiums. The present Commander (Richards) was appointed to the Vixen in February, 1860, on the death of Com mander Lionel Lambert, who was biutally murdered at Lima, in Peru. The boilers and engines of the ship are in excellent order, and every compartment appears free from any defect. She will, however, undergo a com plete overhaul before being re-commissioned. Commander G. F. Meehan, who commissioned the Vixen on ber departure from Woolwich for the Pacific, died after a short but severe illness from the effects of a cold caught while in the execution of his duties on board. The screw steamship Princess Royal, 91, Capt. Charles FelloweE, flag of Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, K.H., who was on board, having been re paired in Keyham steamyard, went yesterday morning outside the Breakwater, on an experi mental trip. She returned into the Sound, intend ing to go up Hamoaze ; but at 3 o'clock, in conse quence of a brigantine being in the fair way, ran on the Win tershoal, and remained there till 6 o'clock, when, as the tide rose, she was got off and -went into harbour. The Isis, 44, Capt. Barnard, in Plymouth Sound, had the recall flag up yesterday afternoon, and she would probably leave in the evening for Ascension. The screw steam frigate Orlando, 51, having been cleaned and had her valves overhauled, will be put oat of No. 1 Dock in Keyham steamyard to-day, and to-morrow the screw steam troopship Himalaya will be placed there, and her repairs will be com pleted with all despatch. The Emerald, 51, screw, Capt. A. Cumming, at Spithead, has a defect in her auxiliary feed-engine pump-box, which will have to be made good before she proceeds to sea. The Icarus, 11, screw, Commtnder N. Salmon, V.C., at Portsmouth, is filling up coal, preparatory to swinging and going out of harbour to Spithead. The Melbourne, No. 13, screw, hospital ship, Capt. Henry B. Benson, will go into Portsmouth Harbour this morning from Spithead to land invalids and stores: The Henry Fernie, hired transport, commenced shipping her provisions and medical comforts in Portsmouth Harbour yesterday. She will be offi cially inspected by the military and medical au thorities to-day, and embark her detachments of troops for New Zealand to-morrow. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Albert Dent, to be Flag Lieut. to Rear-Admiral Warren; Paymaster Hugh F. Pullen, to be secretary and assistant-pay master; Valentine D. J. Rickcord, to be secretary's clerk to Rear-Admiral Warren ; Charles D. Shep hard, to be surgeon to the Imaum ; William B. Fabian, to be first-class assistant-engineer to the Fisgard, in charge of the machinery of the Driver. Laurence Moreton is promoted to the rank of se cond-class assistant-engineer in the Indus, as a su pernumerary. THE ARMY. Major-Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, attended by Major Reilly, his aide-de-camp ; Major Milward, Brigade Major, and Major Field, Deputy-Assist ant-Quartermaster-General, yesterday commenced his half-yearly inspection• of the garrison at Woolwich by going over the barrack quarters and books of the 4th Brigade. The General inspected the Royal Horse Brigade this morning at 10 and the 16th Lancers at 11. The two corps paraded at the time stated above on Woolwich common, in marching order, on ground pointed out by the Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-General. At 1 o'clock the general inspected the hospital be longing to the Horse Brigade, and examined the books and barracks of the brigade shortly afterwards. The 30th and 31st companies of Royal Engineers have each been augmented to their full number of 100 non-commissioned officers and men, and have been medically inspected at head-quarters. As soon as the order for their leaving Chatham shall w ill b een received from the Horse Guards, they embark for Malta and Corfu, to relieve two, com panies which have been doing duty in the Medi terranean for several years past. THE DERELICT SUM—PLYMOUTH, Tuesday,. The merchant steam vessel Sir Walter Raleigh made fast to the derelict yesterday, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and ructton to navi a•. towed her about three miles north-west, when the warp parted. The wind is blowing very strongly from the eastwa d, and there is much sea on. The steamer resumes the attempt r on Thursday, and will be able to continue on the duty until b a st by . had narrow escapes lost in I Monday evlAi a gTbhuet for w reck th e is l ai lights dangerous exhibi t o e Lion. On Sunday no less than four vessels escapes ;' one of them would have been the trawl sloop , which continues fastened t) the capsized ship. The star board anchor can be seen, and thecl chain cable is throng* the hawse pipe. The suspended chain hangs from thedeck, deck, and is not now supposed t o have an anchor attached' to it. This chain was partly swept yesterday, and by it the wreck was at one time towed. Tho bowsprit is gone, and there is no ind • ication of yards or masts. Sh e , i 1 built of pitch pine, and her keel, which is 15 inches through ' has never been tarred, neither is there any tar on the spaces originally covered by the builder's cleats, so that she must be a new ship. From her continued buoyancy it is new judged that the cargo is not timber, but cotton. This supposition seems confirmed by the fact that the water occasionally spurts through the seems in her sides which may be bursting open by the swelling of the cotton. Tills morning, at two o'clock, the wreck was 35 to 40 mil es S.S,W. of Plytnviith Soled, or say: 0 Illikii Scittil Of tite Xcidsame. ing he on ca a ~I.cl U! of to
