The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, in cluding 6,500 American (500 for speculation and 1,000 for export), 300 Pernam and Maranham, qd. ; 100 Bahia, 6id. ; 200 Egyptian, 61d. to 74d. ; 800 Surat, 41. to 5d.; and 80 Sea Islands, 11d. to is. 6d. per lb. The Share Market closed at a slight advance in prices. The Foreign and Colonial produce markets this Week have not undergone any general change of importance ; but a steady inquiry for most of the principal staples has prevailed, and fully previous prices have been current. Although a large quan tity of sugar has been offered publicly an advance of 6d. per cwt. has taken place, and a good inquiry has existed both for home use and for exporta tion. Coffee has ruled quiet, and quotations have rather tended downwards ; but cocoa has been maintained at full values. For rice there has been very little demand, and a decline of 3d. per cwt. has occurred. Spices have generally been dull / and at lower values. In tea no particular change F . has occurred, and t a ll ow h as rema i ne d qu i e t. Th e Indigo sal es , w hi c h commence d on T ues d ay, h ave Proceeded rather heavily. Dry leaf Madras is 2s. St, per lb. cheaper. The public sales of colonial wool 10 have progressed with animation, and the advance 50 noticed at th e commencemen t of sales has been r t. supported. The attendance of buyers continues 10 numerous, and the biddings are made in a spirit e d st. manner. St. The New York accounts mention that the money St market was rather stringent in consequence of the demand for the 4th of the month, but although qt. the shipments of specie continued large they were more than balanced by the receipts from California 12 and thus the depletion of the supplies was no 50 longer apprehended. The value of all the exports 16 from New York during April was 31,431,017 dols. f I T I against 29,4 j 07,513 dols. in th e corresponding 3 month of 1855. Letters from California stated 20 that the yield at the mines had diminished in con- 11 sequence of the di yness of the weather, and trade - at San Francisco appears from the various commer cial circulars to have been in a depressed condition. 10 Advises from- the Mauritius to the 27th March 124 report a dull market for sugars, on account of the St advices received by the Mail from Europe. The ;‘), quotations averaged from 3s. to ss. lower than 2 7 previ ous pr i ces . Whi te sugar, fi rst qua li ty, ranged 25 from 6f. 50e. to 6f. 75e. ; very good do. from sf. st. „ 80e. to sf. 85c. ; middling, from 4f. 90c. to sf. it 2, Articles of importation were in demand, and the 1 ,.,9 Stock of wi nes h a d di m i n i s h e d.

STROUD, TIiunSDAT. m Last night Lord John Russell, taking advantage of the Whitsuntide holidays, delivered his promised lec ture to the " Stroud Mutual Improvement Society," on the " Study of History," and the large Subscription room and galleries were crowded to excess by persons of ail ranks and both sexes. W. H. Stanton, Esq., taok the chair. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, after some remarks on ancient history and historians, addressed himself to the history of modern times. He cited the free states of Ita'y as the first which made progress in arts and letters, pointed out bow Rome had 'decayed through the neglect of religion, traced the awakening of Christianity through the energy of Lu her, and the religious controversy which led to • the war of the Reformati on , which began in the 16th century, and could not be said to have been con chided until the end of the seventeenth. The history of that great epoch bad not been related by historians worthy of the subject. He then came to the study of modern history, especially in connection with Spain, France, and Great Britain. Up to the reign of Philip 11. Spain had flourished, but that monarch had imbibed the opinion that men were not to be allowed to bold opinions adverse to those held by the church and by himself, and this led tu the most dreadful wars and the separation of the Low Countries. In Spain itself, by means of the lequisition, all opposition was success fully destroyed. Every dawn of the Reformation was stifled—first, by the sacrifice of all independenoe of mind, all exertion of intellect, all the rewards which induce men to pursue the paths of history ; and, secondly, Philip 11. gained it by the loss of his sub jects. The history of France was different, not so much in principle as in degree. With a' mo narchy which might be said to be absolute, public opinion became totally at variance with it, and men of the greatest eminence in France actually destroyed by their pens the powerful monarchy which they assailed. Then followed the French revolution, of the horror: of which all had read. The noble lecturer then came to the history of our own country, showing how our liberties had been established by John Hampden and his com panions. On the subject of the American war of inde pendence he spoke strongly. Men, he said, of the greatest political ability had opposed that war, and the objects for which it had been waged by England. The Earl of Chatham, Pitt, Burke, Fox, Lord Rock ingham, Sir G. Savile—all descounced the attempts of this country as iniquitous, allegin 2t that they would inflict great injury upon this country in the event of failure, and that it they succeeded they would set an ex ample of tyrannical government, and would weaken the principles of government in this country. The manner of our separation from the United States was to be re gretted more than the fact of that separation, for they were told by travellers in the states of new England that the books in which the children and yonne men were taught at this day contained accounts • of that fatal contest, describing the successes of the Americans ; how bravely they bad fought, and how they had achieved their independence against the attempts of the Briti- h king and the British Parliament. He was looking the other day, with a very different ohject to the pre sent, at the form of oaths taken by New England statesmen, and he found that they swore never to obey any successor of George 111. We might say that this was unwise on their part, and that the contest having ceased long ago they ought not to recollect it ; but he (Lord John) must own that what had been done was an effect that might have been foreseen of the injus tice of our attempt to enslave those people. That was had seed producing bad fruit, and we might observe that, fol lowing the same teac7aing, whenever there was any triflipg dispute (between this country and the United States, there were not wanting persons who endeavoured to inflame it, who endeavoured to induce the Americans to believe that we were always wishing to get an advantage over them, or to establish an authority which we had no business to claim. 'He was afraid that those harangu-s and excitements—so utterly groundless as he believed they were with respect to the disposition which they puted to this country—were in fact nothing but the conse quences which Re are deriving from the sins of our fathers, and that the animosii;y then excited e remaans to the pee sent day to be visited on us. If this wer3 so it showed how careful people o u:;•ht to be that they did not encour age any contest but that which they felt thems:lves per fectly justified in; andhe hoped it would wear itself out, and come to an end ; for of this he was fully persuaded, that no nations, by reason of their consangui n ity, reason of their language, by reason of their similarity of institutions, and the great cause which all uphold, eneht be better friends than the Monarchy of Greilt Britain and the Republic of the United States. (Loud cheers.) Alluding to the subjee, of religious tolerance the noble lord remarked on the dis abilities to which the Roman Catholics in this country had been so long subje‘it. Our principles of government led to freedom, and those principles must be made uni versal. We must do as ,;he Parliament of England ha= of late years done, with but one exception, and give free scope to religious opinions. In conclusion, his lordship advised his hearers in the study of history rather to study the history of some partelcular period, than to have at heart the mere dates of the whole history of the world. It would be a waste of ti me merely to collect in the mind a series of dates or an epitome of events. They should trace events to their causes, and follow them to their consequences.--His lordship spoke for nearly two hours. "C. E. TREVELYAN. " The Right Hun. the Jud:e7Advocatc.-." Mr. Filler, in commencing his statement, referred to his reply to the misrepresentations of the commissioners which had been laid before Parliament, observing that he now wished to make some additions to what was therein stated. In page 15 the commissioners chorged him with supplying unwholesome, instead of wholesome and nutritious food to the army, and the general character of the report was a censure on his department for mis management, imprlvidence, and want of energy in at teoding tl the supp'ies of the army. He proposed to address himself to the general spirit of the whets, as will as to the specific charges, to show that the statements which it contained, so far as they related to his department, were at variance ith actual :acts. There were many difficulties in the way of sup plying the large army in the East, arising from the, sud denness of its movements, the unfavourable position in which it was pliaed, being so far from supplies, and the impossibility of foreseeing the misfortunes that attended it. Under these circumstances it was not surprising that his efforts to supply the mine' should not have been attended with the success which might have been wished, though he had used every possible exertion. Of these qualifying circumstances the commissioners had taken no notice in the reports. The commissariat in the Cri :pea had to perform most onerous duties, and yet the commissioners charged him with want of foresight—not in the discharge of the duties of his own department alone, but in neglectine. to interfere in matters over which he had no control. The great difficulty was with regard to transport, and in Bulgaria, where the army was supplied from the resources of the country, no dif ficulty was experienced.. Everything w a s d one th a t could be done t o k eep up the efficiency of the Land Transport, though not with such success as he could have wished. There was great difficulty in getting sup plies to the camp, Owing to the bad state of the road from Balaklava. No one could imagine the condition of that road during the winter. The French did not suffer on this account, as the ground between tneir stores and the camp was very different to that between the English stores and their camp. Supplies to the English had to traverse a morass. With regard to the want of forage, the commissioner had omitted it to be only fractional, and it had been shown in evidence before the board that the mortality amongst the horses was not attributable to any waut of food, but to the commissariat transport duties. The sea transport was also deficient, and in reply to his constant applications for additional transport ee received letters from Admiral Boxer, stating that no mere vessels could be spared for this purpose than were already em ployed in bringing oxen and other supplies from Con stantinople. Lare quantities of fuel were in store in November, and an order was given early in December for it to be issued, but the difficulty was in getting it to the front. The army received notice that rations of charcoal could be obtained from 11,:a,klava He was anxious that the Spanish mules when they arrived from natio, should be employed in this service, but they were ordered to be employed only for carrying huts for the men. These mules had great advantages with regard to fodder, but they began to fall off like the other horses of the army, and the loss amongst them was not less than 30 per cent, in the first five weeks after their arrival. On the 30th of Sept. he wrote to Sir Chas. Trevelyan for 2,000 tons of hay, to which he received a reply stat ing that it was impossible that so large a quantity could be supplied, and it was promised that 357 tons per month should be sent to the East. In reply to this he (Itir. Filmier) wrote again to say that that quantity was not sufficient ; that 580 tons per month would be required for the artillery, cavalry, and commissariat animals alone, and that not less than 860 tons would be necessary to supply all the wants of the army. So little notice ea , taken of this that up to the Ist of Feb. he never re ceived more than 200 tons of hay per mouth. Hod, r the circumstances in which they were placed, he did not think it was too much to expect that the horses of the army would be sent down to Balaklava fsr their own forage. There was no great deficiency of forage in store at this. time, and the cavalry horses were receiving 8 lbs. instead of 10 lbs. of hay, and the rations of the baggage animals suffered a proportionate diminution. In the storm of the 14th of November a large quantity of forage was destroyed, and for a time he was left almost without any in store. During the winter of 1854-55 every energy was employed by the commissary at Constantinople to get forage, but only a very email quantity could be ob tained, and that at a very high pi ice, and in proof of this he placed in the hands of the board a tender fur the sup ply of chopped straw from Constantinople. He then referred to the quality and nature of the supplies to the army, upon which he said the commissioners had been too hasty in drawing their conclusions. It was found necessary with the salt meat diet to issue vegetables, and an order was given by Lord Raglan to obtain sup plies, and a quantity was obtained from the Black Sea, but not sufficient for a large army. In April and May, 1855, he sent to the Consul at Trebiz md to provide a quantity of vegetables, but he was unable to do se. In December some were received, but they were in a bad state, and but for that perhaps there would have been no deficiency. The returns would show that when there was a large quantity of preserved potatoes in store there was an un willingness on the part of the men to take them ; that there was none taken during November and December, and that the men did not begin to take them till January, 1855. With regard to the lime juice, as it was sent out by the medical department in the absence of special instructions, he concluded that it was intended only for hospital use, and Dr. Hall reported that he did not recommend it to be supplied to the army till the arrival "of large quantities. Two thousand pounds of lime ,juice were sent from England on the 19:11 Dec., 1854, tut the order from the Commander-in-Chief fur its issue to the army generally was not given till the 29th of January, 1855. LATER DEPARTURE OF MAILS FOR THE MEDITERRA NEAN, INDIA, &c.--The overland mails for the Mediter ranean, India, Ste., via Marseilles, will in future he made up and despatched from I:iondon on the evenings of the 10th and 26th of each mouth, instead of on the mornings of those days, as heretofore, except when the 10th or 26th of the month tails on a Sunday, on which occasion the mails will be despatched from London on the morn ing of the following day,—.By cmnmancl of the Post. master-General, Ro Muni Hill, Secretary.—General Post office, May 13, 1856. LATER, DEPARTURE OP MAILS FOR THE BRITISH FORCES IN THE EAST.—Th a ordinary mails for the Bri tish Forces or the Transport Servioe in Greece, Turkey. and the Black Sea, or for the British military hospitals, will in future be made up stud despatched from London on the mornings of Tuesday and Saturday, instead of on the evenings of Monday ar d Friday, and supplementary mails will be despatched out the evening of Tuesday and Saturday.—By commaud of the Postmaster-General, Rowland Hill, Secretary.--General Post-office, May 13, 1856. The board having adjourned for about half an hour, on their return, _ _ _ Mr. Filder stated that he was not prepared to proceed any further with his case that day ; and, acccriiogly, it wa , arranged that he should resume it this morning. At the request of the President, Mr. Filder undertook to lay before the board his original instructions from the Treasury, written in February, 1354, in reference to the provisioning and foraging of the expedition to the East. In reply to questions from Gen. Berkeley, Mr. Filder said these instructions did not contain any directions as to the manner in which he was to obtain supplies. On being informed that the army was g.iing to Constantinople, he made requisitions both upon the Treasury and the Admiralty, those upon the latter relat ng to biscuit, salt beef, &e. The commissariat were nearly always well supplied up to the period when the army embarked at Varna for the Crimea. He could not account for the deficiency cf forage on board the tran sport ships during the passage. In reply to a question from the Judge-Advocate, Mr. Filder stated that there was always either more hay or more chopped straw in Bra,laklava harbour than could be landed ; and in reply to further questions from Gen. Rowan and Gen. Berkeley, he said that the corn missariat staff was inadequate from the first, and that had a forward movement of the army taken place in the Crimea, it would have been impossible for the staff to perform the duties which would have been imposed upon it. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YOICIC.—In consequence of the illness of the Archbishop of York, who was suddenly seized with indisposition. at his town residence on the 20th ult., and who has !tot sufficiently recovered to be able to resume his episc )pal duties, the Right Rev. Dr. Spencer, late Bishop of Madras, has been appointed to officiate at the confiri nations and other ecclesiastical ceremonies in the West Riding of Yorkshire which are shortly to take place. IMPERIAL BRAZILIA N MINING ASSOCIATION.—At the balf-yearly meeting of this association, held yesterday, the reports and accounts were adopted. The excess of expenditure over retieipts for the six months endingthe 31st of Decembez. was 2,7341., and the assets, including the reserve invested in the New Three per Cent. Stock, amount to about 5,000/. The directors have been enabled to reduce the g eneral outlay, and the saving effected during the year 1855 as compared with 1854 has been upwards of 3,000/. Operations at Clung° Saco and the - other works are progressing, the latter reports being in some respects of a less satisfactory character. The ad vices by the mail just due are awaited with anxiety, as the future pri %spect4 of the undertaking will be much in fluenced by th em. In answer to questions, it was stated that the last ci ~ 11. of 10s. per share had been well paid, and that if the expected accounts proved unfavourable, attention woo' d be given to measures necessary for winding up. Che estatev of the company are extensive, and the intro& Lotion of railway facilities in Brazil may, it is thought, t iventually increase their value. BURGLARY, I PITH VIOLENCE.--& few nights ago an old gentleman,, named Pring, who resides in a lonely spot, near the •village of Awliscombe, Devonshire, hear ing a noise in 'his house, got out of bed and went down stairs. lie t' sen encountered a man with a handker chief over his • eyes, who immediately attacked him with a pitchfork. Mr. Pring received several wounds in his Corehead and IA stab in his side. He became insensible, ai Id to all a; )pea ranee deal. When he was discovered on the folio wing morning by a neighbour he was found weltering in his blood. The house had been ransacked, arti cl,ie had been broken in pieces, and several things, among the rei lt a pistol, were stolen. Two burglaries iu the sat se dist riot occurred soon afterwards, and, a f ter a vigilant searcl two men, one of whom is believed to be a ticket .of-leas re man, were a pprehended and b roug h t before t h e inai ;istrates residing in the district. The pis tol and atbisr trticles were found at a place c a ll e d t h e "Trav e l I t :rs r R es t," w h e re the prisoners had left them. Mr. PHI I ; 7 was too ill to attend the court, and the men were exal 'illued in his bed room. They were committed for trial. Col. Gordon made seine explanatory remarks relating to the evidence which he hal given before the board. At the conclusion of his explanation he observed that Col. TuHoch had stated that he could not reconcile Col. Wetherall's evidence with regard to blankets with the statement of the commissariat officers, and that that was the reason why he omitted it from the report. That being the case, why did he not put some questions to him (Col. Gordon) on that subject ? The board then adjourned till this day. The half-yearly inspection of the Royal Sappers and Miners took place at Brompton on Wedne‘day by Lieu tenant-Cen. Sir John F. Burgoyne, G. 0.8 , R.E., In spector-General of Fortifications. The whole of the Corps of Royal Engineers were minutely inspected by Gen. Burgoyne, who expressed himself to the Colonel. Commandant as being highly satisfied with the appear ance of this distinguished branch of the service. [ADVERTISEMENT.)—The difficulties and dangers of bringing up Infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely over come by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food, which feeds, strengthens, and removes all those little pains and irre gularities infants aro so subject to. The following letters speak volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage, 16th Dee., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for the last four months, during which time our infant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being mused, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I known of your valuable Food sooner it would have saved my infant much pain, and me also the heavy expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c., ROBERT AMBLER."

A large party of Crimean invalids, to the number of 41, of whom 13 were frJin the hospital at Chichester, arrived at Strood yesterday afternoon by railway frn.n Portsmouth, having disembarked from the steam trans port Severn, No. 194, Com. Gillies. Toe Severn brought home 196 invalids, in medical charge of Second Cass Surgeon W. Poole and Acting-Assistant-Surgeon S. Job, the whole under command of Lieut. Brooks.

On the arrival of the'in valids at the Strood terminus they were met by a fatigue party from Chatham, who assisted the sick and wounded to the ambulance-waggon in waiting for them. After the usual medical examination had been made 17 were or dered into the supplemental hospital at Brompton, and one insane man to Fort Pitt; the remainder were sent to the invalid depot at St. Mary's. A court-martial assembled yesterday at 9 a.m., on board the Waterloo, flagship at Sheerness, to fry ' Alonzo Rodd, private, Royal Marines, late of the store-ship Madagascar, for making use of abusive guage and striking Mr. Isaac Harris, gunner of the third class, while in the execution of his duty. The case for the prosecution lasted three hours. On the prisoner being called upon for his defence, he pleaded that he had no recollection of the charge brought against him, stat ing that he was very much in liquor at the time. Pri soner had been four years in the corps, and called Mr. C. Troughton Stepney de Michell, naval cadet of the Indefatigable, in support of his defe - ric - i: — The Couit, after deliberating for one hour and a quarter, were of opinion that the charge against the prisoner was fully proved by the witnesses, and sentenced him to receive 50 lashes.on his bare hack with the cat-c'-nine-tails, and afterwards to be imprisoned in the county gaol at Maid stone for the term of two year?, during which period he was to be kept at bard labour. An interesting experiment took place lately at the School of Musketry at Hythe, and one which must con vine,' the most scepticti how deadly a weapon the pre sent Enfield rifle Inuit prove in the hands of men pro perly instructed in the the of it. Same condemned tun. tails and gun limbers having been lately procured from Woolwich, on Monday morning last one of each of these was taken to the target practice gi ound ; to the tumbril were attached six horses with riders made of framework, covered with canvas, stuffed with straw ; the whole the gIZ 3Of life. About the gun•carriage were stuffed figures representing men unlinsberim„ and bringing the gun into action. At a distance somewhat beyond 600 yards from the above a party, consisting of about 60 of the me❑ wider instruction at the School of Musketry, was drawn up in two divisions, the one extended in skirmishing order, the other supporting. One round was first fired by the front rank only of the skirmishing party, which may have consisted of about 20 men, and the result was that a bullet had passed through almost every horse, as also through many of the riders and men employ,?.d at the gun. The support was then ordered up to reinforce skirmishers, and the whole fired three or boar rounds in skirmishing order which completely riddled horses, riders, and footmen. The party was then closed on its centre and retired to a distance of above SOO yards, when volleys were fired at the supposed artillery, first by sections, then by sub-divisions, and finally by div;- sions, the whole with an accuracy perfectly wonderful ; in short, the experiment clearly proved that in the bands of well-skilled soldiers—men who, having been taught the principles of rifle-shooting theoretically and practically, have obtained a perfect confidence l.a their weapon—the Enfield rifle must prove more than a match for any field-guns of the present day. At an early hour on Wednesday morning the steam-ship Candia, with the 17th Lancers on board, was signalled off the harbour of Dublin, and in a short time after was moored alongside the hulk which has been placed. outside the pier specially for this purpose. A communication was shortly after received by the General, and arrangements were promptly made for disembarking the men and horses. The Prince, river steamer, left Merchants' Quay at 1 o'clock, for the purpose of returning with the dis mounted men and baggage, while the mounted men will arrive in Cork by the Queenstown-road. The capt:tiu of the steamer has been ordered to land the men and bag gage as nearly as possible to the terminus of the Great Southern Western Railway, and the mounted men mill probably draw up at the same place, preparatory to ,or o• ceeding by railway to Cahir, to which place the regim cut has been ordered. This gallant regiment bore a distinguished part in the principal cavalry operations the Crimea, and At the disastrous charge at Balaklav . 9. was all but 'atterly ..,nnihilated. The 17th were for many years commanded by the Earl of Lucan (then Lord Bingham), wko retired from active service about 23 years back, and remained on the half-r-y list until his appoint ment in 1854 to the command of the cavalry in the East. The dividends on the Brazilian Loan of 1843 and the Sardinian Loan of 1851 have been advertised for pay ment. The Spanish Financial Committee have announced that a further auction of the f. , reign redeemable debt will take place at Madrid on the 30th inst., for which pur pose 2,625,000 reals have been assigned by the Govern ment. [ADVERTISEMENT.] SIGHT AND HEARING. SPECTACLES, POWERFUL TELESCOPES, OPERA, RACE AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. —Messrs. S. suit B. Solemons, opticians, 39, Albemarlo street, Piccadilly. Observe opposite the York Hotel. By leer Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per. spective Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extraordin ary powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye. piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rin g , and the double stars; with the same tetes2ope can be seen a person' s c ountenance three miles and a h a l f distant, and au object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary iug from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the above, and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal Exhibition, 1851—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1, 1 miles distant; they answer every purpose ou the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to /sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great est transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons aro enabled to employ their sight at the .most minute occu pation-- can see with these lenses of a much less magnify. iug power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deafness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an ex traordinary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass any thing of the kind that has been, or probably ever 'lan be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not per ceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-35, Albemarle. street Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York Hotel. _3..----~ ~5e~.~...:1 r POLIO.H INTELLIGIMVE.—May liL MANSION-HOUSE.—Thomas Turnbull, who on Tuesday appeared upon a summons to answer the com plaint of Edward Bateman, the particulars of which were published on Wednesday, attended for the adjudi cation of the case by Sir Henry Muggeridge. Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphreys and Co., at tended for the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Mr. Wontner, for the defence. Messrs. Hurst, who were epoken of in the evidence upon the former occasion as having been concerned is detaining the goods which had been supplied to the de fendant by the prosecutor, were present during► the in vestigation ; but Mr.Bateman, upon being asked by Mr. Ballantine whether he bad any charge to make against either of those gentlemen, declined the responsibility of making any whatever. The evidence taken on the previous occasion having been read over, the prosecutor was cross•ezamined at con siderable length by Mr.Ballantine. His answers showed that he had been bankrupt, that just before his failure the Messrs. Hurst advanced him 901., and there was no doubt that Turnbull thought he was justified in the course lie had adopted to obtain a partial restitution to Messrs. Hurst. Mr. Ballantine submitted that it was ridiculous to at tempt to ground a charge against gentlemen of such re spectability as the Messrs. Hurst were well known to be, upon evidence which proved nothing but that the com plainant had a very objectionable way of traroacting business, and that at the time he actually owed a large suns of money to them, he recompensed them by in sinuating a criminal draw. He admitted that the sic• fendant had proceeded in an irregular manner, and ail such a course could not be legally resorted to, the goods about which the dispute had been were in court, and the complaipant was at liberty to take them. Mr. Morgan said he had advised his client to stop the proceedings upon condition that the property should be at once restored to him, in the belief that Mr. Turnbull, when he took the goods, really imagined that there was a bona ide claim upon Mr. Bateman. Mr. Bateman said that Mr. Turnbull might have sup posed that there was such claim, and consented to such compromise. Sir H. Muggeridge said be had no objection to such arrangement as that just proposed. It was obvious, from the circumstances stated in evidence, that the de fendant considered that he was justified in the course he had adopted to save the Messrs. Hurst, from injury, but he certainly was by no means justified, and the testi niony of the complainant proved that the transaction about the goods in question was to be wholly indepen dent of any former transactions between the parties. At the same time, the complainant was unwarranted in the means he had resorted to for the recovery of the goods. The goods were then delivered up to Mr. Bateman, and Mr. Turnbull was discharged. WORSHIP-STREET.—Iohn Hart, a powerfully built fellow, who described himself as a labourer, was charged before Mr. Hamtnilt with the following,scanda lous outrage upon two young women named Jane Gable end Caroline Harris, and also a youth named Henry Liply. The first named comp'ainant deposed to having, in company with her two friends, entered a public house after leaving one of the theatres, at sr. late hour on Wed nesday night, and after taking refreshment they were on the point of leavinm, when the defendsuat and four other men met them at the door. Defendant, who was per fectly sober, instantly made some stand slous proposition to witness, and flung his arms around her neck. She re pelled him to the best of her ability, and succeeded in pushing him from her, but be repeated th•to act, and on being again resisted struck her, first on the nose and then on the head, the latter blow felling' her to the ground, where he kicked her on the bosom. in a most savage manner, The second complainant fully corroborated the above statement, and added that when she herself remonstrated with defendant he struck her on the nose, can sing it to pour with blood, and then commenced kicking her, and severely injured her side. Their male acquaintance was yet more punished. - Henry 'Liply, whose features were fearfully eormtused and cut, depnsed to both the assaults, and said tb st on mildly interfering defendant hit bim on the right jaw with his fist, and some of his companions kicked bite in the face, by which his right eys was cut. Hollis, a constable of the H. division, gave evid‘nrce of having heard dreadful screams of women, and runniakt to the spot found defendant held by a number of peT— sons, who were calling for the police. He admitted tb ss4aults. All the-complainants were bleeding from the face. Mr. Hammill remarked that a most wanton and scan dalous act of cruelty had been committed on young women and a lad without the slightest provocation, and only because the first complainant very properly resisted his infamous advances. He must go for two months for each assault on the females, and pay a fine of 405., or suffer another two months' imprisonment for the as sault upon the youth. - WESTMINSTER.—Jane Evans, known among the begging fraternity as the Dowager Duchess of West minster, was on Wednesday brought up before Mr. Ar nold. charged with fraudulently endeavouring to obtain charitable contributions from Lord John Thynne, of No. 101, Eaton-place. It appeared that the prisoner had left a letter at his lordship's house, purporting to be written by the Rev. Mr. Russell, incumbent of St. John's, Camberwell, and recommending the prisoner to his lordship's benevolence as a widow woman in great distress. The letter turned out to be a fabrication, no sueb person as the assumed writer being known in Camberwell. Webb, one of the Mendicity Society's officers, non. nixed the prisoner as a notorious impostor. Mr. Arnold remanded her until Monday. MARLi3OROUGH•STRE ET.—John lngrani Owen, George Smith, Owen, and Edward Owen, were brought before Mr. Bingham for further examinaticn, charged with numerous forgeries. A lady named Edwards was examined to prove that the cheques purporting to be drawn by a lady named Lloyd, since dead, on Messrs. Coutts and Co., and sin order for a cheque book, were forgeries. This witness proved that she formerly lived in Sloane-street. Two of the prisoners formerly lived in her house at the same time as Miss Lloyd, and this circumstance gave them as opportunity of ascertaining that Miss Lloyd was a lady of property, and kept cash at Coutts's. The amount of the forgeries on Coutts's is about 6001. A fresh case connected with the London Joint-stock Bank was gone into. A cheque for 661., purporting to be drawn by Mr. Harri., of Goodman's•fields, was presented at the bank by a lad who had been employed by George Owen to make the attempt on the back ; but one of the cashiers (Mr. Saunders), doubting the genuineness of the signa ture, caused the messenger to be detained. The sender of the cheque was not to bo found at the appoiated place. The prisoners were further remanded. LAMBETH --Mr. Elliott, with the chief clerk and second u , her, attended at the committee room of Horse- monger•lane Gaol, for the purpose of taking the evidence against Robert Everest, alias Zvennent, alias Humbett, and George Brozen, prisoners in custody at that prison on two charges—the first, of stealing from the bed-room of Mr. Skinner, the landlord of the Zoological Arms beer house, in Penton-place, Walwortb, about 151, in casts and other property ; and the second, for a robbery at tie* house of Mr. Knott, in Sutherland-place, while the fa.. mily were at church. The facts of the case have beery frequently made public. Both prisoners were committed for trial. WOOLWICH. --June s Smith, a labourer, residing at Plumstead, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, on a charge of wilfully cutting off the tail of a monkey, the property of Louis Previdi, an Italian organ grinder, from whose evidence, which was corroborated, it ap peared that the prisoner and others hustled him in the street, and the monkey sought refuge under the com plainant's coat. The prisoner then caught the monkey'. tail, which he suddenly severed with a knife. Mr. Seeker commented upon the disgraceful and cowardly act of cruelty, and fined the prisoner 405., and 21., th© value of the monkey, or two months' imprison ment. LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.
