Two persons are alleged to have obtained hi three days a quan tity that realised £35, a nd according to the b e li e f o f some respectable explorers the mine extends for miles. The gold is in quartz, and the quality is said to be extremely Pure. The Bank of Belgium have reduced their rate of discount from 4 per cent., at which it has stood since the 13th of February, to 3 per cent. The New York letters quote the rate of exchange 106 1 1 to being a rebound of nearly 3 per cent. from the low point recently touched. All ordinary branches of business remained exceedingly dull, but there was much activity in the various trades connected with the supply of warlike materials and stores for troops. Failures were nume rous among the dry goods jobbers, and it was feared that many importing houses would follow. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingsdown, the Earl of Wick low, and other peers ) APPEAL CAUSE APPOINTED FOR REARING--FARMER (A GALLOWAY) V. CRAIG. The further hearing of this appeal was resumed this morning. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was heard for the respondent. This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Session in Scotland declaring that the respon dent's claim to a policy of assurance for £199 16s. 10d. was preferable to the claim of the appellant. It appeared that the appellant, in 1852, effected a policy of assurance on her husband's life, and took the policy payable to herself if she survived him and to her heirs and executors. The husband was sequestrated, and died in 1858. The respondent was appointed assignee, and claimed the policy for the hus band's creditors, and the Court of Session decided in his favour, and against this decision the wife appealed. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., was heard in reply. The appellant's counsel contended that the policy was settled as a provision by the husband on his wife in the event of his death, and did not fall under the jus mariti of the husband, and did not belong to his creditors. The respondent's counsel maintained that the policy was a donation inter vivant et uxorum (a donation by the hus band to the wife), which was revokable at pleasure, and therefore was the property of the husband's creditors. At the conclusion of the arguments the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) SUMMERS V. SUMMERS. This was a petition far dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion. The parties were married in 1851, and the adultery was committed with a female at East Surrey -place, Old Kent road, in March, 1858. The evidence was clear on the point, and a rule nisi was granted. DAVIS V. DAVIS AND DOLBY. In this case the husband was the petitioner, and the suit was instituted for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery with the co-respondent. The answer to the peti tion was that petitioner had been guilty of cruelty. The co-respondent also denied the adultery. Dr. Parks, in his evidence, said he was a medical man, and knew the respondent prior to her marriage. He also attended her while she was living at Gloucester-place, when she gave birth to a child. Mrs. Maria Burnes said--I live at 14, Buckingham-place, Fitzroy•square. I am a monthly nurse. I was in corn pant with Dr. Parkes yesterday when a lady was pointed out. I had seen that lady before at her house in Gloucester crescent, Regent's -park. I knew her as Mrs. Dolby. I went to her last October twelvemonths. I was recom mended to her as a monthly nurse. I went to her in the December following to Gloucester- crescent, and from thence we went tr) Peterborough. I saw a gen tleman in Gloucester-place, who represented him self as Mr. Dolby. I stayed with the lady three weeks in London and the other two weeks in the country Mr. Dolby did not go with us to Peterborough, but he came wile we were there. There was no confinement. I had an opportunity of seeing how Mr. Dolby and Mrs. Davis lived. They occupied the same bedroom both at Gloucester place and Peterborough. Mr. Dolby used to call Mrs. Davis Kate. I know a Mr. Docking; he was intimate at the house. A number of letters were here put in, written in a very familiar strain to Mr. Docking, requesting him to transact some trifling matters for her in Loselon, in one of which the co-respondent had written a portion of the contents and signed his name thereto. Examination continued —Mrs. Davis called Mr. Dolby by Ms Christian name William. Cross-examined--I don't know what Mr. Docking was. He used to call as a friend at Mrs. Davis's. I have seen Docking once since the time I am speaking of. lie coiled at my house. I never saw Mr. Davis at Gloucester crescent. Mr. Smith (counsel for the petitioner), said that was the whole of the evidence he had to offer. The Judge Ordinary said the evidence was not at all in a complete state. The petitioner had not even proved that Mr. Dolby was not Mr. Davis. Mr. Smith said, the nurse had said in her evidence that Mr. Davis never called at the house in Gloucester .place. The witness was recalled, and said that Mr. Dolby she knew ewaJsudngoet MOrrdrypinaaviB. irh said the evidence was of a very barren nature ; there was no evidence as to how Mr. and Mrs. Davis lived after they were married.

Id., damage sustained through the mis conduct of defendant's game-cock. Defendant pleaded that the cock did not belong to him, and that he was not liable. Plaintiff stated that he carried on business in the articles Crescent and defendant in Vine- street, Minories. Upon a a to defendant walked n c o cl belongi ngknockedr some off a shelf, causing icteor thetin day sho p a e n g d a e- m great breakage in the plates and dishes upon the counter. Mrs. Dellamore—The cock does not belong to us. His Honour (to plaintiff)—Can you show that the cock has a habit of breaking crockery ? (Laughter.) Plaintiff—l did not ask it. His Honour—The law has been clearly laid down that it must be shown the animal causing injury was vicious to the knowledge of the owner. Some persons object to this law, and I confess I am not satisfied with it. It has been decided where a dog bit a man that the owner was not liable, as the dog was not shown to have bitten anybody before within the owner's knowledge. Plaintiff—lf that is the law I think it is high time the law is altered. (Laughter.) His Idonour—You never knew the cock to break china before this ? Plaintiff—Oh, no. His Honour—l am very sorry, and it appears to be a hard law, but I must nonsuit you. But if ever that cock comes into your shop again— Plaintiff (most emphatically) —I will take care that he never goes out again. (Loud laughter, during which the putitm rctired.) TAIRD EDITION.

THE GROWTH OF COTTON. Lord BROUGIIAM begged to call the attention of the noble duke opposite to the important subject of the growth of cotton. He trusted the Government -would pro mote by every means in their power, and the Colonial-office would also encourage the same object. He had received several specimens of cotton raised in Ja maica, and having submitted them to the best authorities, they had fixed the value at very high prices. Even at 6d. per lb. a great profit could be made, growing cotton in Jamaica, for it had been calculated that an acre of ground there would yield 6001 b., which would be worth £l5, and the cost of raising the article would only amount to £B. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the noble and learned lord 'aad not given notice of his question, but he was in a position to give him an answer. lhe Government had not neglected the consideration of the important subject, but the real difficulty was not the country in which it might bo grown but the amount and the price of labour. If the noble lord meant by encouraging the growth of cotton that the Government was to offer a bounty then he must inform him that there was no such intention. If the profit en cotton grown in Jamaica was as large as the noble lord (lid, it did seem to him totally unneces sary for the Government to interfere, as many individuals would only be too ready to engage in its produce. The Government, however, would give every encouragement to the object, and with that view he was in communication withtho Indian Government to withdraw the restrictions upon the introduction of coolie labour. THE ATLANTIC MAIL CONTRACT. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that on Thursday next he should move for the production of the correspondence between the Government and the Lord- Lieutenant relating to the Atlantic Royal Mail Contract.

INLAND AND CUSTOMS REVENUE BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 2, which relates to the income tax, Sir W. JOLLIFFE said that on the rewrt hewould call attention to an excise regulation which had been introduced East year, and which he should be able to show had greatly added to the hardship and injustice that were inherent in the collection of income tax. He hoped that at the eleventh hour such modifications would be introduced into the taxa tion of the year as would enable the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to remedy the evil, of which he should have at a future stage to complain. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed hat the course which the right hon. gentleman proposed to ake was one that would involve great irregularity of pro- ceeding, and great inconvenience. He supposed the right hon. gentleman was alluding to the quarterly collection of the tax. If he was, then the present was the proper stage at . . _ which to discuss the question ; but he warned biro that it was one of two millions and a half of revenue; and he could not conceive by what art the right hon. gentleman would carve that sunk out of a surplus of 1450,000. No doubt there was a select committee sitting on the income tax; and no doubt the subject was a very important one, and one extremely fit to be brought under the cognisance, not only of the house, but of a committe2 that might hear parties conversant with the subject, and able to say whether a half yearly or quarterly collection was mor e conven i en t to the t a xpayer. Last year the chan ge was really equivalent to a considerable addition of taxation within the year; but that inconvenience had now been wholly surmounted, and to recur to the former practice would therefore involve the surrender of a considerable amount of the year's revenue. The house had given an income tax of 9d., of which three fourths would be collected in addition to one quarter of las t year's 10d. ; but of course if that arrangement were altered, it would involve the loss of a considerable portion of the year's revenue. The right hon. gentleman spoke of the change as a matter of Mere excise regulation ; but in point of fact, in order that there might be no mistake about it, he had introduced it into the income tax bill of last year. It was, indeed, previously the law of the land that the tax should be collected quarterly, but there was no sufficient authority to bind the revenue officers to account quarterly, and it had therefore been determined that the change should be effected by actual legislation. It was the opinion of the authorities that the alteration made the system much more effective and manageable, and it was of course the duty of those who wished for a change to point out the nature of the alteration which they desired. Last year the change was naturally felt to bear hard upon the taxpayer, but that was because an additional amount of tax was levied. Apart from that, however, it was believed that the public would find it more agreeable to pay the money in four sums rather than in two. (Hear.) Mr. CONINGHAM thought it was a hardship upon the railway companies, that they alone should be obliged to collect the income tax payable by such of their servants as were paid by weekly. wages. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the hon. gentleman was not quite accurate in supposing that the railway companies stood alone in the respect to which he referred. No complaint had been made by the companies, but the matter should be considered. In answer to Sir S. NORTHCOTE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER added that the assessment for the present year would be a new one, and would not include the same years as the last. Sir W. JOLLIFFE repeated that he would bring the sub ject of his former remarks before the house at a later stage. Mr. RICARDO was glad to hear that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would consider the case of the railway com- panics, which had often to pay the tax for their servants. Mr. BRISCOE thought that the returns should be made to the officer of the district, as such hardships often arose from the necessity of persons going with their appeals to Somerset-house. Mr. CONINGHAM pointed out a difficultyin deducting he tax from persons in the receipt of weekly wages, who might be one week working for a railway company, and the next for a private yard.. The clause was then agreed to. Clause 3 was agreed to. PAPER (EXCISE) DUTIES. On clause 4 (the Paper Duties), The C lIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER added some verbal amendments. Mr. K. SEYMER said that his constituents were univer sally opposed to the clause now before the committee. In the same way as noble lords who generally supported the Govern ment in the other house had last year voted against the repeal of the paper duty, many of the electors in his (Mr. K. Sey mer's) district, who were on the same side,were now inclined to look unfavourably on the budget. The fact was that when the budget was first published people were so agree ably surprised at finding there was to be a reduction instead of an increase of taxation that they were not inclined to in quire too curiously into the existence of a surplus, or as to how that surplus was to be disposed of. Since then, how ever, cooler counsels had 'wavered their influence. The lamentable accounts from America, which must affect the revenue, and the protest of the China merchants respecting the indemnity, had thrown great doubt upon the surplus, and with regard to the paper duty had decided the people as to the inexpediency of its remission. He could say for his constituents that their unanimous feeling was that an injudicious moment had been chosen. (Hear, hear.) As to the constitutional question, the people were so satisfied that the House of Lords had actel rightly last y ear that it had been found quite impossible to get up any excitement on the subject. Even this year, notwithstanding all the interesting discussions they had had, the people remained equally ap4- thetic. The fact was, that the constitutional question was one which they cared little about; they 'allowed it to be fought out in that house, but it was beyond their range of thought, and they were content that it should be dealt with by that house. What was the objection which existed to the paper duty l Why, that it was an excise duty. Every-. one knew that excise duties were most objectionable. He had himself voted for the repeal of the paper duty ; he had voted for the repeal of the malt tax—(hear, hear)—but it did so happen that that was a year and a half ago, before , this question of the paper duties was discussed. He had lately addressed his agricultural constituents, and had told them that although the paper duty and the malt tax were most objectionable, yet they must not expect him to repeat either of those votes on this occa sion. Whatever mystification there might be in Ihe hOuse, there was none in the country. (Hear, hear.) People in the country very well understood how it was that a man might vote for the repeal of a tax generally, and yet not vote for iti repeal at a particular time. But if they had to consider the question of excise duties in general the!•evr as a case which he (Mr. K. Seymer) could n ot hel p thinking irresistible, he meant the case of the hop duties ; and if the right hon. gentleman were really in possession of a surplus, he (Mr. K. Seymer) could not conceive how he could have steeled his heart against the case of the hop growers, which had been so ably argued by the hon. members for Kent and Sussex in that house. They found no applica tions for relief from the paper makers—no application in forma pauperis for a remission of duty, for a postponement of duty, and the like. (Hear, hear.) Instead of complain ing of the excise duty, what they complained of was the French treaty—(hear, hear)—and the peculiar position in which they were placed by the requirements of the French treaty. Indeed one honourable member had gone so far as to say that the circumstance of the scarcity of the raw material made the ordinary conditions of free trade inap plicable to the case. That circumstance fully disposed of all the sanguine expectations of the right hon. gentleman as to the increase in the manufacture of paper. The prospects of the papers makers were that there would be an increased Imanufacture, but that it would take place in foreign coun tries. There was no analogy between the case of the excise duty on paper and the excise duty on bricks, glass, and soap, because with respect to all those there was no scarcity of the raw material. It was otherwise with regard to paper. This was the great disadvantage to which the paper oak" was exposed ; and as the hon. member for Birmin in g _ u.. said, it was not a competition to which the Bri_ti! . h___T ore, facturer ought to be exposed. They objeo_tel, m"" tion in. to the abolition of a permanent source e ) f The the face of a war expenditure. (Hear, of the extravagance Chan cellor of the Exchequer complainedef went on to say, " If of the public expenditure, and these will"—what ?—why ary non sequitur.

(Hear, hear.) The Government that they would require in were forming on the coast of Dorsetshire a perfect Gibralm tar ; the fortifications at Portland were quite a study for the curious in engineering matters; and the result would be forcew oul would l peace a very large additional force of artill erymen. The same proems was g oin g o n else where ; in the Medway, at Portsmouth and Plymouth. Was it in these measures that the Government calculated any great reduction of taxation f The noble lord at the head of the Government knew very well that the cuuntry must be kept in a state of defence. The noble lord was popular in the country, and the reason of his popularity was that people believed the noble lard would defend the honour of his country. They liked him because he had often stood. against the hon. m em b er for B i rm i ng h am . up manfully against hon. members below the gangway, And if there wa s any di strust o f t h e Chart acillieldleoaerrs'opfhectehißarel.l)Eyxchequer, as he (Mr. Seymer) believed there wa s_(hear, hear)—notwithst an di ng the high character and splendid abilities of the right hon. gentleman, it was. because he had shown himself rather inclined to the econo mical and financial doctrines of hon. gentlemen below the gangway. What hon. members on that side of the house said was—" If we are about to undertake this great earn,: diture, you ought to relieve,the people of these duties which . , press upon the nec ess iti es o f lif e as th ey may b e called" tea and sugar."

The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, which was to enable the legislature of New Zealand to divide certain land. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(This EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Workington Tidal Basin and Railw3.y Bill was read a third time and passed. The Lyra and Runstanton Railway Bill was considered and ordered for third reading. DUBLIN CORPORATION WATER BILL. On the motion for the consideration of this bill, Sir E. GROGAN moved that the bill be re-committed, for the purpose of hearing the petition of ratepayers and others of Dublin, deposited in the Private Bill-office, and complaining of matter which had arisen during the pro gress of the bill before the committee on the bill. He said that there were objections to the bill which were considered reasonable by those persons who were acquainted with the subject, but there had not been sufficient time afforded to enable him or those who agreed with him on thepropriety of this motion to urge these objections at the previous stages of the bill. By the provisions of the bill power was given to the Corporation of Dublin to raise any amount of money for the purpose of supplying the city of Dublin with water. There were also other most objectionable clauses in the bill, including exemption to Trinity C o ll ege , an d cer tain companies. He did not want to destroy the bill, to which the committee to whom it had been referred had devoted much time and attention. His only object was to render the clauses less onerous and oppressive on the rate payers. Mr. MAGUIRE, whose name was on the bill, said that the object of the hon. member was to destroy i it, notwith standing that he disclaimed any such intention. The bill would be of great benefit to the inhabitants of Dublin, and so far from large houses in that city being well supplied with water the reverse was the fact, as he was informed by the most creditable authorities. There was scarcely a week elapsed that there was not a fire in the city of Dublin, and yet there was not sufficient water supply provided to meet such accidents. He contended that this matter might be fairly left in the hands of the corporation, who were really the representatives of the people. That body were willing to tax themselves for the benefit of the poor, and experience had shown that no greater boon could be given to the humble classes than affording them an adequate supply of water, which, amongst other advantages, tended to arrest the progress of disease. He contended also that every opportunity was given to the opponents of the bill to dispute it in committee. Mr. MASSEY said that the ratepayers were represented by counsel before the committee, and if they chose to retire prematurely, that was no reason why the committee should be called on to sit on the bill. If any hon. member of the committee said that he thought it desirable to have the bill reconsidered, that certainly might be a reason for adopting the course advocated by the hon. baronet (Sir E. Grogan), but in the absence of any such expression, he felt bound to oppose the amendment for the recommittal of this bill. Mr. VANCE said that some of the clauses in this bill took his hon. colleague and himself by surprise, and were not in the original bill. He strongly objected to the exemption of Trinity College from being taxed, and also the Admi ralty clause in the bill, which made it imperative to main tain a certain depth of water in Wicklow harbour. Mr. TALBOT said that the committee sat for three weeks, and were uuanimous in their decision. He thought therefore that there was no ground for calling on them to sit again, and he called on the house to maintain its privi leges by rejecting the amendment of the hon. baronet (Sir E. Grogan). After some observations by Mr. Whiteside, Mr. George, and Mr. Lefroy, Mr. WALTER, as a member of the committee, said that, as regarded the Admiralty clause, there was no ground for apprehension. Sir E. GROGAN consented to withdraw the amend ment, and the bill was con sidered and ordered for third reading. THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. COWPER said that the object of this bill was to enable the London, Dover, and Chatham Railway Company to take possession of the proposed embankment, and to re munerate themselves out of the tolls which they might levy. The company proposed to obtain £400,000 through the medium of the Metropolitan Board of Works. They sought to relieve themselves from the expenses of the under taking and to throw it on the house. The company proposed that the Woods and Forests should buy land and give them as much of it as they required for their purpose and retain the remainder for their own use. He thought if they allowed this bill to pass they would be adopting a precedent that might be used injuriously against the house on a future occasion. The embankment of the Thames was a subject of great importance, and a Royal Commission sat on this subject, which had not yet made their report. In all probabili: y a bill founded on the recommendations of that commission would be introduced next session. For these rea sons, although from his position he felt disinclined to in terfere with a private measure, he felt bound to move that this bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. AYRTON supported the second reading of the bill, but he reserved to himself a right to consider the bill in its future stages. Lord FERMOY said he thought that the subject should be dealt with by a public bill, and supported the amend ment. After some further discussion the motion for the second reading of the bill was negatived without a division. GALWAY MAIL. Mr, GREGORY moved an address for copy of all cor respondence between the Post Office department and the Board of Admiralty and the Board of Trade with reference to ' the Galway Postal Contract ; and also of all correspondence with, and instructions given to, the surveying officers in reference to the ships of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, or with reference to the ships from time to time submitted by that Company to the Postmaster-General for the performance of the postal service between Galway and the United States of America.—Ordered. THE GOVERNMENT OF VENETIA. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, when Count Rechberg, in his despatch of the 27th day of April, denied that a state of siege existed in Venetia, it was not the case that the ordinary government in Venetia was, at least, as severe as any state of siege, and that four men were executed, by sentence of court martial, at Venice or its neighbourhood, on the very day on which Count Rech berg dated that despatch ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had sent a despatch to Sir James Hudson stating the general views of the Government, and Count Cavour communicated with the Marquis d'Azeglio. He had received a despatch on the subject to which the hon. member had alluded, but he did not consider it of sufficient public importance to lay it on the table of the house. The Foreign- office was not in possession of any official information as to the severity of the Govern. ment of Venetia, to which he referred. THE GALWAY CONTRACT. The O'DONOGHUE asked the Pint Lord of the Trea sury whether it was the intention of the Government to carry out the views of the Postmaster-General, expressed in a recent letter. and annul the Galway contract ? Lord PALMERSTON said that the intimation conveyed to Galway was no act of the Post-office, but the decision of the Government. It was, of course, competent for the parties concerned to make any representation they thought fit to Government, who would then consider what steps they would take. All the correspondence on the subject would be shortly laid on the table, and then the house would be in a better position to understand this sub ject. THE BLOCKADE IN AMERICA. Lord J. RUSSELL said it might be desirable, for the information of commercial classes, if he stated the present position in which they stood in reference to the bloekade of the seceded States. In April last a notification had been issued by the President that it was proposed to blockade seven of the seceding States. He had since stated that he would notify in each case the port it was proposed to blocade, and since then South Carolina and Virginia. The noble lord was then understood to say that 15 days would be permitted to persons in the blockaded ports to leave, but vessels would not be allowed to enter these ports for the purpose of removing property.

THE WAY TO PUNISH A RUFFIAN.-Hugh Murphy, a tan, surlylooking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting, in an unprovoked manner, a young man named Thomas Organ, also a young woman named Ellen Capron. _ _ _ The complainants were walking along Oxford-street, near Charles-street, arm-in-arm, when the prisoner, with out the least provocation, struck the young woman, Capron, a severe blow in the eye, and afterwards knocked her corn • panion, Thomas Organ, down, and a fellow who was in company said be would do for the young woman, and threw her down. Prisoner, in a morose tone, denied ever seeing the corn , plainants at all. Capron said the prisoner also used abominable language. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was perfectly unaccountable that a man should assault persons in such a way, and without any provocation. It was a great pity the prisoner was no. punished on the spot. It would have been the best way with a bully like he was. A good man would have done the prisoner up in three minutes. He should fine him 405., or a month, for the assault on the woman—who must on al occasions be protected—and 205., or 14 days, for the assault on the young man, who seemed too delicate to protect even himself. The magistrate's remarks seemed to meet the approval of lose in court. THAMES. Tirr TWICE STOLEN W./LI-ex.—Alfred Brooks, calling himself a hawker, a well-known Spitalfields thief, about 21 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch, value £5, from the person of George Wright, a letter carrier, of Bohn-street, Stepney. On Thursday last a man named Joseph Stonebrook was convicted by Mr. Woolrych, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for steal ing the prosecutor's watch, while he was in a crowd assembled to look at an electrifying machine at the corner of Arbour-street, West Stepney. The watch was recovered. Yesterday afternoon the prosecutor was passing along Great Alie-street, Whitechapel, and was making his way through a cro wd assembled to witness some boys playing at peg - top , when the prisoner snatched his watch from his pocke t, broke it from the ring to which it was attached and handed it to a confederate who ran away. The prosecutor immediately seized the prisoner, who resisted and said " What have I done." The prosecutor said, "You have stolen my watch." The mob around the parties called out, " Let him go, he has not got your watch," and the prose cutor, fearing ill-treatment from the Whitechapel ruffians who were standing by, did release the prisoner, who walked away. The prosecutor walked alongside the prisoner along Alie-street and High-street, Whitechapel, until they reached that notorious place Petticoat-lane. The prisoner immediately started away from the prosecutor, who called out " Stop thief," and he was stopped before he had well entered the lane by a bystander and given into the custody of James Hallett, a police constable, who at once recognised Brooks as a thief. In answer to a question by Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutor said that his watch was in his left hand waistcoat pocket. It broke from the swivel directly the prisoner snatched it. Prisoner—lt's nouso contradicting that witness. He said at the station-house that he gave a man three months for stealing the same watch last week. Mr. Woolrych—No; I gave him three months for the robbery. Venables, a police-constable, No. 141 K, said the pri soner had been convicted several times, and had not been long out of prison. Mr. Woolrych remarked on the alarming frequency of watch robberies, and directed Venables to bring proof of the prisoner's former convictions, and remanded him for a week, THIS DAY'S MAREETS.
