On entering the house the pri soner left it by the back yard, but I eventually saw him in a public-house. I told him what the magistrate said, when he attempted again to assault his sister, who was with me, and pointed the prisoner out to me. He became very ex cited, and while I was again cautioning him he spat in my face. 12 to 1 agst Rouge Dragon 14 to 1 agst Lady Ripon 14 to 1 agst Aurelian THE DERBY, 1862, 1000 to 30 agst Lacy des 1000 to 30 agst Athlete '. 50 to 1 agst Ensign 'Weights for the Brighton Yrs st lb Weatherbound .... 4 12 2 Ipswich . 4 10 7 Weights for the Cla, Prisoner—On my solemn oath I never did so ; it was meant for my sister.

EXTRACTS FROM "PUNCH." GOYON AND DE MERODE. A LAY OF LEICESTER-SQUARE. 'The sister of the prisoner, a very respectably-dressed young woman, here stepped forward. She said the prisoner for the last eight or nine months had been guilty of acting in the most cruel manner towards her. Their father lived in the country, and she managed the lodging-house he had in George-street. The prisoner was a great trouble to his family, as he was an idle, dissolute young man. He had a room in the house in George-street, and his father allowed him Is. a day to spend, but immediately the money was gone, he was in the habit of coming home and conducting himself in a most violent manner. He had already been in prison for fifteen days for kicking her, and no later than yesterday be again assaulted her. The assaults, although painful, she could endure, but of late he had so often threatened to murder her that she felt afraid ho would one day carry out his threat. Mr. Hall—How long ago is it since he threatened your life ? Witness—Yesterday, sir, he took up one of the table knives, and said he would do for me before he left London. Prisoner—She's the most bloodthirsty woman on the face of God's earth, but I don't wish her any harm. Mr. Hall—Oh, no, of course not. Your late observation lets us see what sort of person you really are. I shall fine you 10s. for the assault on the officer, and call upon you to enter into your own recognisances for £4O, and to find two respectable sureties of £2O each, to keep the peace towards your sister for three months, and if you fail in that you will be detained in prison for that period. The prisoner was locked up. THIS DAY'S SKIPPING. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) :lub Stakes. New Course. Yrs st lb Loiterer 4 10 5 Shipwreck 3 9 12 fret Stakes. T.Y.C.

THE ONE GREAT THING THAT HAS PASSED THIS SES- SlON.—Passing Lord John into the House of Lords. VERY SHOOTABLE,—A new journal is announced, to be entitled The Quiver. We understand that a leading feature in it will be an 'arrowing tale called The Beau. ADVICE THAT NEVER 'WILL BE FOLLOWED.—A woman should never marry. Previous to marriage, she is an angel ; whereas, after marriage, she is nothing more than a woman. —Ono who admires women far too generally ever to give a selfish preference to one. A WOMAN TO BE ENVIED.—The wife of a poor curate writes sighingly as follows :—" I see that the Sul tan is always appearing in public with a new Hatt. I wonder if the Sultana exercises the same privilege, and can come out as often as she likes with a new bonnet ?" THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.—The Lord Mayor should not be surprised at the success of his rival. As a builder, he ought to have known that in the nature of things it could not well be otherwise.

ANNOYING A BARMAID.—LOVE'S REVENGE.—Thomas Crawford, a butler, 19, George-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Valiant Trooper, Gaodge-street, Tottenham-court road. The defendant went to the house the previous night, and, notwithstanding ho was twice ejected, returned and created a disturbance, and at length was given in charge by John Wright, the barman, whe saw him attempt to strike the barmaid. Elizabeth Wilson, the barmaid, said she formerly carried on a correspondence with the defendant, but had broken it off, and every time the defendant got drunk he came and annoyed her by saying all sorts of things, and throwing money at her. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that was rather an odd proceeding. Defendant said he remembered nothing at all about it. He merely called at the house, because he was acquainted with the young lady. Ordered to find a surety in £lO for two months. SERIOUSLY ASSAULTING AN AGED FEMALE.—William Fisher, a young man described as 1. waiter, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting a female about 80 years of age, named Sarah Cockburn, living at 20a, Cleve land• street, Fitzroy-square. _ _ Edward Fenn, residing opposite Mrs. Cockburn, said that on the previous evening he saw the old lady trying to close her door and the prisoner pushing it open. He then saw the prisoner make a rush at her and knock her down. He instantly collared the prisoner, and detained him till the arrival of a constable. The following certificate was handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt, " Middlesex Hospital. "I certify that Mrs. Sarah Cockburn is in this hospital and unable to have in consequence of injuries. " Wm. WILLIS, Surgeon." Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would have to find two sureties in £lO to appear in a week, for which time he would be remanded, and he hoped the old lady would not die in th e meantime.—Remanded. THAMES. AUDACIOUS HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Smith, a dirty looking youth, well known to the police as a Spitalfields thief and burglar, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a gold watch, value 18 guineas, from the person of Mr. W. E. Westrup, residing at 14, Coborn street, Bow•road. Mr. Westrup said that last night, about 9 o'clock, he was walking up the Mile-end-road when the prisoner suddenly pushed against him and made a snatch at his watch, with which he made off across a field. He pursued him, and the prisoner was taken in Tredegar-square and given into custody. _ _ Police-sergeant Dillon, No. 19 R, said that the prisoner was a well-known and desperate thief, and had actually made an attempt to rob another gentleman in the road a few minutes before he snatched Mr. W estrup's watch. The gentleman on whom the first attack was made allowed the prisoner his liberty, and he directly afterwards attacked Mr. Westrup and stole his watch in the public road. William Frederick Forth, a boy who saw the robbery committed, confirmed the statement of Mr. Westrup. Dillon—The prisoner threatened to murder this lad just now in the passage of the court if he gave any evidence against him. The police-sergeant then produced a smart grey coloured cap, which he found in prisoner's pocket, and said the prisoner had a black one on his head, and no doubt if he had lost sight of his pursuers for an instant, he would have substituted the grey cap for the black one, and when seen again, would have rendered his identity very doubtful. Mr. Woolrych—We must not draw an inference of that kind, although it is very possible that was his intention. George Clark, No. 85 K, said he found the prosecutor's watch this morning at 5 o'clock in the garden in front of a house in Tredegar.square, close to 'there the prisoner was stopped. Dillon said the prisoner had been convicted two or three times of felony. Mr. Woolrych—Bring proof of his former convictions when the prisoner isbrought up again. He is now remanded for a week.

LIBRARIAN OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—A vacancy occurs in the office of Chief Librarian to the House of Lords by the decease of Mr. Leary, who filled the appointment for so many years with exemplary ability and urbanity. LIBERALITY OF THE CITY COMPANIES.—A few days since we announced that the Grocers had given £25 to the London Society for the Protection of Young Females, in whose school at Tottenham 66 children are educated and trained for domestic service. We have now the plea sure to state that the Goldsmiths have given to the same society £25 and the Drapers 20 guineas. BLONDIN AT CLIFTON.—On Monday evening Blondin made an ascent at the Zoological Gardens, Clifton. The performances were the same as those on his first ap pearance at the Crystal Palace, and were given on a rope 200 feet in length, the elevation being between 60 and 70 feet. About 13,000 persons were present in the gardens the receipts being a little over £7OO, but the number of spectators who were able to get a view from the downs outside must have considerably exceeded that of those who paid to witness the exhibition. Excursion trains from Exeter and Birmingham and the intermediate stations brought large numbers of visitors to Bristol. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning one of the guards, named Robertson or Robinson, lost his life while attempting to close the door of one of the carriages which he observed to have burst open. This was at a short distance from the Ealing station, where some passengers had been taken in. The unfortunate man attempted to cross from his break to the carriage in order to close the door, and in so doing he slipped between the carriages and fell upon the metals, and before the accident became known to the engine -driver the wheels of the carriages passed over him, cutting one leg off and splitting his head in two. As soon as the guard was missed by the engine-driver the train was put back, and his mutilated remains were picked up and removed to the nearest house to await a coroner's inquest. The unfortunate man had been in the army, and wore two medals. He has left a widow and three children to lament his loss. BURNING OF A CORSICAN FOREST.—In the forest of Tartaggine, in Corsica, a fire broke out five days back with great violence, and as the wind was high, spread with extraordinary rapidity. The tocsin having been rung, the inhabitants and gendarmes of the neighbouring villages as sembled, but the conflagration had attained such a height that they saw that all attempts to extinguish it would be vain, and therefore confined themselves to cutting down and removing the brushwood, and taking other measures to prevent it [from extending to the fo rests of Melaia and Montegrosso. In that object they succeeded, but the fire, after nightfall, reached a mountain called the Pedro, and entirely consumed the shrubs and young trees growing there. At one time the whole mountain was a mass of flame, and presented a magnificent spectacle. The fire did not die out until the forest of Tartaggine, which is two leagues long, and of considerable width, was entirely con sumed. The damage done is estimated at 1,500,000 fr. There is reason to believe that the fire was wilfully occa sioned, and some Italian workmen have be arrested on 6UE3• pi c iol of having lighted it up, 7.4.0 13.12.8 6.8.6 8.12 4.11.6 1.10.6 9 2k 11k 1.11.0 9.18.9 lk 10.0.7 4.18.61 all 18.18.9 261 113 s 6cll 1.7.2 41 1 1 JOINT-STOCK BANKS. 100 Agra&UnitedService Bk 60 86 38 40 Australasia.. all 61 62 621 / 25 Bank of Egypt all 194 201 100 Bank of London 20 Bank of Turkey 3 1} 1d 50 British North American all 52 53 20 Chtd.Bank of India, &c. all 20 201 25 Ch.

The following are some of the most important changes made in the law :—Non-traders are to be liable to the bankruptcy laws in respect to future debts. The seizure and sale of the goods of a debtor under an execution for a debt above £5O will be au act of bankruptcy, and all such sales must be by public auction, duly advertised. Percentages are no longer to be taken from bankrupts' estates, and the official assignees and messengers are to be greatly reduced in number, and paid by fixed salaries. At the first meeting under a bankruptcy, the creditors may remove the proceedings to any County Court, or, if they think fit, determine ro wind up the estate under a private arrange ment, and also decide whether the bank rupt shall have any and what allowance f'or support. The official assignee is to collect the debts not exceeding £lO, and the Cuurt is to order in whose custody the books and p a p ers b e l ong i ng t o the estate shall be deposited. The creditors are to determine whether the estate shall be realised by any official assignee or assignees chosen by them selves, and in the latter case may allow them the assistance of a paid manager. All moneys received by the assignees are to be forthwith paid into the Bank of England to the account of the accountant in bankruptcy, and in country districts where there shall be no branch of the Bank of England, then into such other bank as the Court shall direct. The creditors' assignee must every three months submit a statement of his accounts, with vouchers, to the official assignee for examination, and after such accounts have been passed the official assignee is to send a printed copy thereof, or a statement showing the nature and result of the transactions and accounts of the assignee. to every creditor who has proved under the bankruptcy. The proof of debts may be made by sending to the assignee through the general post a statement of such debt and of the account, if any, between the creditor and the bankrupt, together with a declaration signed by the creditor that such statement is a full, true, and complete statement of accounts between them. False declaration is to be a misdemeanour. All state ments of accounts are tobe compared with th o b oo k s and papers of the bankrupt by the assi gnees. Th e classification of certificates is abolished, and the bankrupt after the passing of his last examination is to be entitled to an order of discharge. Very stringent penal clauses are provided, and for a variety of offences the Court may summarily order imprisonment for any period not exceeding one year, or may refuse or suspend the order of discharge, or attach conditions thereto as to future property. For offences made misdemeanours under the act bank rupts may be tried in the court, with or without a jury, at the option of the bankrupt, and on convic tion may be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three years, and be liable to any greater punish ment attached to the offence by any existing statute. The Court may direct the creditors assignee, official assignee, or any creditor to act as prosecutor, and the costs of such prosecution will be borne in the same manner 'ffs the expenses of prose cutions for felonies are now borne ; and other costs incurred by such prosecutor not so defrayed are to be paid out of the Accountant-General's Fund. Most important facilities are afforded to enable a debtor and his creditors to effect private arrange ments under trust or composition deeds. A majo rity of creditors in number, including three-fourths in value, may, on execution of a deed of arrange ment, and registering it in the Court, bind a mino rity, and are to have the use of the Court in all eases in which they shall require its assistance to decide questions as to disputed claims, or any dif ferences that may arise between the parties inte rested in the debtor's estate. The Court is not, how ever, to interfere in any manner except its aid is invoked by some person having a direct interest in the matter. Every deed of composition must be registered. There can scarcely be a doubt that these alterations in the law will not only greatly lessen the expenses attending bankruptcy proceedings, but will be most acceptable to the mercantile classes, releasing them from the official trammels with which those proceedings have hitherto been invested. It is believed that a bill will be brought in next ses sion to consolidate the law in one statute. T.HE INCOME . AND PROPERTY TAX.

Besides the United States mails she took out about 50 cabin passengers, and had 4900 in gold on freight. THE. Ie EGIS 111? A 1?- GE N E AL' S ANN UAL BEPORT. The twenty-second annual report of the Registrar General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Eng land, has just been published. In 1858 the names of 335,446 men and women were inscribed on the marriage registers ; of 689,881 children on the re gisters of births ; and of 440,781 persons of all ages on the registers of deaths. The total number of names enrolled during the year amounted to nearly a million and a half (1,466,108). On an average of twenty-two years there was 1 death to 45 living in the population, 1 birth to 30 living, and 1 person married to 61 living; and the se proport i ons i n the year 1859, became 1 in 45 , 1 in 29, and 1 in 59 ; or , more exactly, the mortality on the population was 2236 per cent. on an average, and nearly the same (2'232) in 1859 ; the average birth rate wa s 3.305, the rate in 1859 being higher (3 . 494) ; the average marriage rate was 1636, and the rate in the last year also higher 1.698. The marriages in the year exceeded by 11,653 the marriages in the preceding year ; the births were 31,400 in excess ; and the deaths 8,875 i n defect. Consequently, the excess of births over deaths in the year was 43,275 above the excess in the preceding year, and amounted to 249,100. This was the natural recorded increase of the population of England and Wales. The emigrants of English origin amounted to about 40,245. To this extent, therefore, the natural increase is diminished by emigration. Upon the other hand, while the Emigration Commissioners record the departure of 120,432, they record the return of 19,913 emigrants to the United Kingdom; and there is probably a constant influx of the popu lation of Scotland and Ireland into England and Wales ; so that the census alone will enable us to strike the exact balance. 16 7,723 marriages were registered in the year ; 136,210 according to the rites of the Established Church, and 31,513 not according to those rites. Of the marriages in the Church, 19 were by special license, 20,345 by licence, 107,737 by banns, and 4,204 upon superintendent registrars' certificates.. The clergy omitted in 3,905 cases to state whether the marriage was by licence or by banns. The ntarriages by banns increased more rapidly than the marriages by licence, and were in proportion to those by licences as 5,296 to 1. Of the marriages not according to the rites of the• Established Church 12,519 were by Protestant Dis senters, 7,756 by Roman Catholics, 70 by Quakers, and 324 by Jews; 10,544 marriages, exceeding those of the Roman Catholics, were performed in. superintendent registrars' offices. 137,000 bachelors married as many spinsters in the year, and 8,161 widowers married the same num ber of widows ; 7,058 bachelors also married widows, and 15,493 spinsters married widowers; conse quently, 23,654 widowers and 15,219 widows re married. Of 100 men marrying, 14.10 were widowers ; of 100 women marrying, 9.07 were widows. 10,397 young men and 32,041 young women under 21 years of age married in the year ; so of 100 men, 6.20, and of 100 women, 1910 were minors. 44,807 men and 63,127 women signed the married registers with marks ; so that of 335,446 persons in the prime of life 227,512 could write their names more or less distinctly; and 107,934 signed with marks, or 32.2 per cent. signed with marks. Of the. women, 37.6 in 100, of the men, 26.7 in 100 signed with marks ; so that the women do not write in the same proportion as men. It is gratifying to trace the progress of education since 1841, when 32.7 men and 48.8 women in every 100 signed with marks, to 1859, when the proportions fell to 26'7 and 37 . 6 respectively; so that of persons at the age of marriage, 6.0 more men, and 11.2 more women in 100 now write their names than wrote 18 years ago. 4;228 places of public worship were open for the solemnisation of marriages, and registered on. 31st December, 1859. This number exceeds by 156 the number on the register at the same date oc the previous year. The marriages were most numerous after harvest in the Christmas quarter of the year, and in the spring quarter of the year, and in the spring quarter, including the months of April, May, and June. The marriage rate is lowest in the Lent quarter, ending in March, when the produce of the year is partly consumed. The registered births, which declined in the I previous year, rose to 689,881 in 1859. The increase is 34,400. The birth rate of the year is 3.494, or 1 in 29. 352,662 boys and 337,219 girls were born ; and 15,443 more boys than girls, the proportion. being 1,046 boys to 1,000 girls ; so that the pro portions were nearly 22 boys to 21 girls. The pro portion of births in the several seasons of the year varied. Thus, if we take the average births of each quarter at 1,000, the proportional births in the four quarters of the year are represented by the numbers 1,032, 1,022, 968, and 978. These proportions differ from year to year; but the births in the first exceed those in the second six months of the year. 44,751 children were born out of wedlock, or 6.5 per cent. of the children born alive, and so registered as to allow the distinction to be drawn. On in every 15 children is in this con dition, and has to encounter the hardships in cidental to it; for hitherto mankind have treated. the innocent children with the opprobrium 'which properly attaches only to the parents. To 100 girls, 105.7 boys were born out of wedlock; whereas to 100 girls 104.5 boys were born in wedlock. The number of deaths was less by 8,875 than the deaths in the year preceding ; and the rate of mor tality (2232) was slightly below the average, 2236. It is nearly expressed by one death to every 45 of the population. The mortality of males was at the rate of 2300, and females at the rate of 2.167 per cent. annually. The deaths of males were to the deaths of females as 103 to 100 ; and out of equal numbers of the two sexes the proportions became 106 to 100. The rate of mortality under 10 years of age was higher than usual in both sexes, and generally lower at the more advanced ages. The winter was the most fatal of the four quarters. A SPLIT IN THE 2110.1iM02V CAMP. A correspondent of a Cincinnati paper, writing from Fort Crittenden on the 18th of June, says :-- re "I am satisfied that the downfall of Bri g ham is a t hand, for the division ha s alread y commenc ed.

If so, I would say Amen to it, for they need deliverance. He creates much excitement. I people am of opinion that he is the man to bring forth that bloody conflict which the Prophet Joseph fore saw, for the Brigamites are already threatening him and his followers with extermination. I believe all the branch of the 'church where he lives have joined him, even the bishop (Richard Cook) and his counsellors. People are going from all parts of the territory to see him. He keeps two men (his counsellors) doing nothing but waiting on his visitors, and teaching them the new e,octrine. There is much rumour about the troops leaving Utah. They expect to be ordered to leave every day. Letters came here by the Pony Express, May 29, from Livingston to his partner , Mr. Bell , stating that an order was issued in Washington, May 21, to call the troops into the states from this place and ever since the quartermaster has been making pre parations to start when the order comeu, but it has n ot arrived. There are thousands of pony people here who wish for the troops to remain, Until they can obtain teams to take them away, if and the troops leave they will not know what to do. There are many, yes, very many poor families who wish they were out of Utah. No man knows how poor people suffer in this territory, but those I have had enough of it, and who experience it. I do not intend to stay here after the troops ' lease, one minute, if possible to get away, for Brigham' w are threatening the; a s minions, evendisaffected, now, 'theT did before the . t ___Postates and they will dock them a few b l here, the saying eas. ears.

The poor had to shut their mouths when they saw their tyranny, I, with thousands more, came here with pure motives, thinking that we were doing the will of God, but I found my mistake. Instead of arriving in Zion, I found the place to be a den of thieves find robbers, tne bishops and presidents cheating and robbing the poor in every "way they can. I see men who come from 100 to 200 mil©s seeking for work to get a little clothing for themsel ves and their fami lies, being . half naked , with their feet sticking out of their shoes.
