CITY, Two o'CLocK. • During the past week there has been very little Improvement in the general state of trade through out the manu f actur i ng di str i cts . At L ee d s th ere has been no material increase in the dealings in has cloths. At Bradford a more active inquiry 1118 prevailed for spring goods, but the operations have not been extensive. At Manchester the ad vices from America have almost caused a suspension of business, and the tone of the market has in some the been influenced by the late suspensions in 1 . 1110 Levant t ra d e a t Mar se illes. Business at 'cleester has been of a more favourable character o wing to the improvement in the weather. In the h ardware districts there has been little change to notice, business at Birmingham, Sheffield, and W olverhampton having been confined almost ex clusively to home requirements. ~A. fair amount of business was reported in the 14 verpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices continued firm. The sales were 10,000 bales. To-morrow, the 30th inst., a call of £2 per share, a mounting to £50,000, is due on the Cape Town Railway and Dock Shares. About £82,000 in gold was withdrawn from the 13 unk of England on Saturday for exportation. The Seine has arrived from the West Indies with 487,643, nearly all in silver. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. C. A. and ,r, Ferguson,P of Mill-wall, will take place to-morrow t he 30th inst. A steady business is transacted in the general „ niscount market, but as accommodation can be btained as low as 41 per cent., the inquiries at the t eak of England are still compiratively limited, During the next few days, however, more firmness ~,I tu d activity are expected, owing to the Stock 'cdrehange settlements, and the preparation for the 4 gagements due on Saturday next, the 4th of the mouth, which are undersrood to be rather exten sive. A moderate business has been transacted in the market for. Public Securities to-day, but speculation continues dull in consequence of the operators b eing disinelined to enter into extensive engage tents while American affairs remain in such an Uncertain state. Consols, however, in consequence of a few sales, have receded to 911 d for money and a ccount. The New Threes and the Reduced re re- main at 9O ; Bank Stock has declined to 231, and India ditto to 222, but Exchequer Bills are steady at 4e. to ls. die. Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a hilted extent at about former quotations. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 704 4 ; ditto, 1858, 531 t. Spanish me firm at 491 j; ditto Deferred have receded to l it. Portuguese are 47, and Russian 3 per Cents. 61 / 62. The preparation for the settlement of the account are now in progress in the Railway Share Market. The dealings, however, are limited, and prices have not varied to any important extent. Caledonians, 'great Westerns, and Great Northerns, have ad- Ina/iced 55.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midlands, IQ South Easterns, declined 55.; and North Xastern (Berwick), 10s. The Foreign and Colonial Markets have con tinued very inactive, and prices have been in most Instances steadily maintained. East Indian have receded about I, and Grand Trunk of Canada I. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have t'untinued very dull.

On Saturday, a meeting of old Westminster Scholars was held in the schoolroom, Little Dean's- Yard, for the purpose of considering the report of the committee appointed in June last to confer with the Dean and Chapter on the state and condition of the school and college, with a view to improve them on their present, or to ascertain a fit and proper site elsewhere. The Very Rev. the Dean of Westminster occupied the chair. The committee bade, in regard to the first portion of their inquiry, nineteen proposals to the Dean and Chapter, the substance of which was that there should be a free Communication between Great and Little Dean's yard, and that a railing should be the fence between the latter and the college garden, which .should be open to the boys • and the cricket grou nd, 1 11 Vincent-square, should be planted with trees, and ft covered play-ground made at the school, in lieu 1 3 _f the cloisters; and the school itself should better °e glazed and ventilated, better warmed in cold 'weather, and generally kept in better repair ; that the discipline of the school be retained as hereto fore ; that the Westminster play should be retained; and that the head and under masters should be Westminster men. To most of these recommenda tions the Dean and Chapter had:given their assent. They, however, declined to remove the obstructions between Great and Little Dean's-yard, or to allow the boys into the college garden. With respect to the play, the statutes of the college required the performance at Christmas of a Latin and English play, either tragedy or comedy, by the Scholars and choristers, with a view to their im- Provement in pronunciation and action ; but in car rying out that rule they thought they were bound to remember that the moral and religious interests of the school must be their first consideration. The appointment of the masters was not vested in the aapitular body. With respect to the second part of the inquiry, there was a difference in the commit tee's opinion, but they were unanimous in thinking that, even should it be desirable to change the site Of the school, there were not available funds suffi cient to enable them to carry out that object on even the moderate s cale recommended by the Dean and. Chapter. The report having been presented to the meeting by Sir David Dundas, The Dean of WESTMINSTER said, on behalf of the Chapter, they renounced all purpose and in tention of changing the site of the school—(cheers) —and threw themselves heartily into the endeavour to make the dormitories light and comfortable, and had already provided a covered play-ground for the use of the boys. (Cheers.) Sir D. DUNDAS, M.P., considered that the best thank s of all present were due to the Very Rev. the bean, for calling them together to consider how the school was to be improved. The report having been adopted, the proceedings terminated. -- - THE PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mule prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17 8.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about the same pries in London as in Hamburg. Miss Couttl comes to town to-day from Holly Lodge, Highgate, for the season. The Hon. Major Yelverton and Mrs. Forbes Yelverton arrived in Dublin last Thursday evening, from London.—Freeman' s Journal. 'The Hon. Mrs. Yelverton, we are told, arrived in L i verpool from Dublin by the screw steamer Eagle, on Su nday morning last (yesterday week), in company with a lady who was conspicuous on the trial. They remained on board until the afternoon, and then proceeded in a cab to the Lime-street railway station, whence they went by train to London.---Liverpool Post. The marriage of Mr. Edward King Harman, eldest son of the Hon. Laurence King Harman, of New castle, county of Longford, with Miss Emma Frances, youngest daughter of Sir William Woreley, is arranged to take place in Yorkshire early in June. "Four new forts," says a letter from V 'nice, "are about to be built in the neighbnurho d of Verona. Th e s it es have been already traced out, and workmen have commenced to clear away the ground."

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. Nearly all kinds were a slow sale, in some instances, prices had a drooping ten dency. Fine barley, as well as oats, beans, and peas moved off steadily at extreme rates. The dour trade was in a very inactive state. Prices of wheat on the Continent, as well as in the United States, have ruled in favour of buyers. Most other descriptions of produce, however, have commanded full quotations. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we reeeived 61,942 quar ters of wheat, 9,129 barley, 25,985 oats, 2,480 beanE, 42 peas, 400 tares, 23,385 linseed, 11,883, rapeseed, 120 sun dries, 5,814 sacks ; and 10,119 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day the receipts of English wheat were again much restricted, but, generally speaking, the samples on offer were in tolerably dry condition. All good and fine dry qualities met a steady, but far from active sale, and prices were well supported. For inferior descriptions the demand was in a very sluggish state, but without leading to any quotable change in their value. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions a fair retail business was transacted, at the rates current ma this day se'nnight to ls. per quarter decline. Floating cargoes of grain were in little request, yet there is no alteration to notice in their value compared with last week. Malting barley was in good request, and prices had an upward tendency. Other kinds changed hands to a limited extent on former terms. The business passing in malt was much restricted, at late quotations. All kinds of oats moved off steadily, and prices were fully maintained. The show of beans was very limited, and the demand for them ruled active, at is. per quarter more money. Grey peas were quite as dear as on Monday last. Other sorts changed hands slowly, on former terms. The flour trade ruled inactive ' and, in some instances, the quotations were with diff icu lty supjorted. Town made was reduced 2s. per sack. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEA.svitz.

Our market to-day was fairly supplied with foreign stook, in, for the most part, good condition. Sales gene rally were concluded at about last week's prices. • The receipts of beasts fresh up this morning from our grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably good, both as to number and quality. Prime Scots and crosses commanded a steady sale, at fully last Monday's currency ; otherwise the beef trade was less active, on for mer terms. The best Scots realised 5s per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, the arrivals of beasts amounted to 2,000 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 500 Scots and crosses. We were but moderately supplied with all breeds of sheep; nevertheless, the mutton trade Was in a sluggish state, at barely last Monday's quotations. The best old Downs, in the wool, realised 5s 10d, out if the wool, 58 per 81b8. Good and prime lambs sold steadily, at full prices. In ferior breeds, however, were dull. About 240 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. There was only a limited sale for calves, at last Monday's currency—being a decline, compared with Thurs day, of 2d per 81bs. The late price was 5s 6d per 81bs. The pork trade was somewhat heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. s. d. s. d.

For purposes of reference and comparison, a re liable statement of the heights, in English feet. of various lofty monuments and public buildings, would be of great interest, if not of considerable value. Different authorities do not agree. however, as to the height of various well-known buildings, and this is almost equivalent to the fact that the heights of such buildings are not exactly known. Considerable confusion has undoubtedly arisen in consequence of the different standards of measure ment adopted by various authorities, there being at least a dozen different standardv of the " fort," sorne of which vary two or three inches from the British unit. If we are to credit history, the Tower of Babel at Babylon was the highest artificial structure ever erected, its altitude being stated as 680 feet, while the Tower of Belus, also built in Babylon, is re ported to have been 666 feet high. The Great Pyramid at Gizeh is generally believed to be the highest artificial structure in existence. This belief has been founded on the statements of mea surements by M. Somard and Mr. Perring, who, in addition to the present actual height of the pyra mid-450ft. 9in. above its true base observed that the casing stones, which are still perfect at the bottom, would, if continued to the apex, have in creased the height to 479 ft. according to M.Jomard, and to 480 ft. 9in. according to Mr. Perring. Whether the casing was ever actually completed is doubtful, and the heights of 480 ft., or thereabouts, is therefore a trigonometrical presumption, if we may say so; but, at all events, not a present reality. In its actual present height, as measured even from its true base (which is considerably below the ordi nary surface of l the ground), the great pyramid stands fifth or sixth in the list of the lofty build ings in the world. Before proceeding further it may be as well to state that there are at least three buildings in an uncompleted state, if not in actual progress, the intended height of which, when finished, will greatly exceed that of any completed building now standing The cathedral at Mechlin has two towers, each 348 ft. high, but the original design included a spire upon each tower so as to increase their height to 640 ft. The Wash ington monument, at Washington, U.S., has been for some years in progress, and its intended height is 517 ft. The cathedral at Cologne will have, when completed, two spires, each 511 ft. high. The highest existing structure is, probably, the cathedral spire of Strasburg, the height of which is given variously as 465.9 ft., 468 ft., and 471 ft. English. The least of these measurements is that adopted by the French Bureau of Longitude, and we are to suppose that this is the height measured above the ground, and not from the foundations, for, in the falter case, the chimney stalk at Messrs. Townsend's Chemical Works, at Port Dundas, Glas gow, would be actually the highest structure in the world, being 468 ft. above its foundations, and 454 ft. above the ground. The chimney of Messrs. Ten nant's works, at St. Rollox, near Port Dundas, i s 447 ft. 6 in. high from its foundations, and 432 ft. 6 in. high above the surface of the ground. The spire of St. Stephen's Church, at Vienna, is stated, on the authority of the Bureau of Longitude, to be 452 ft. 9 in. high. Other authorities have given it a few feet more, and its height has, indeed, been generally belived to be 465 ft. It is to be regretted that this fine old spire has been lately , found defective, and it is not improbable that ir. may have to be taken down. The height of St. Peter's, Rome, from the pavement to the cross, is understood to be 458 ft., while the Bureau of Longitude give its height, " to the ball over the dome," the 433 ft. only. At all events, St. Peter's, Strasburg* spire, St. Stephen's, and Messrs. Townsend's chimney are all higher than the great pyramid, whether the measurement from the foundations or that from the surface be adopted. It is questionable even if the spire of Ant werp Cathedral be not as high as the great pyramid, notwithstanding that the height of the for mer has been variously stated from 360 ft. to 466 ft. Even the spire of St. Michael's, at Hamburgh, has been stated to be 456 ft. high. The Bureau of Longi tude gives ,it 130 metres, and Antwerp spire 120 in height; but the rotundity of such numbers is somewhat suspicious, and suggests approximation merely. In the same way St. Paul's is set down at 110 metres, or 360 ft. 11 in. in height ; whereas its actual total height from its foundation is understood to be 404 ft., or the same as Salis bury spire. We are proceeding too fast, however, for the spire of St. Martin's, at Landshut, is re puted to be 450 ft. high (the height of the great pyramid again), altkough other authorities make it only 375 ft. If the height of an aqueduct, cross ing a deep ravine, can be compared to that of a church or a chimney, the ancient aqueduct at Spa letta, which is 426 ft. 6 in. high, may be named here. Amiens spire is 420 ft. high, and the prin cipal spire of the cathedral at Chatres, itself on a hill, is 403 feet. The two spires of the church at Lubeck are reputed to be 416 ft. high each. The lower of the Hotel de Ville, at Brussels, including the statue of St. Michael, which sur mounts it, is 400 ft. high. The spire of Freiburg, in Baden, is variously stated as 330 ft. and 380 ft. high. The dome of the Cathedral at Florence is believed to be 380 ft. high, and the highest part of Milan Cathedral 370 feet high. The tower at Cremona is believed to be 372 ft. high, and the Asinelli tower, at Bologna, now 256 ft. high, was, before its partial overthrow by an earth quake, considered to be as high as that at Cremona. The height of the spire at Nordlingen is stated variously as 345 ft. and 370 ft. That of St. Mi chael's, Coventry, is 363 ft. high. St. Barberas spire, at Breda, is believed to be 362 ft. high ; and the Shoomadoo Temple, at Pegu, India, 361 ft. high. The Victoria Tower of the Houses of Parlia ment is 340 ft. high over all, the clock tower being 320 ft. St. Andrew's spire, at Brunswick, is 318 ft.,' and that of Norwich Cathedral, 315 ft. The tower of Lincoln Cathedral is 300 ft. high. None of the other English cathedrals, besides those already named, have spires as high as 300 ft.— The Engineer, April 26. 21118 DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE ODD MAN.—In the parish of Cambuslang, in Scotland, the population has been ascertained to amount to 3,647 ; the females numbering 1,823, and the males 1,824. Arrangements have been made by which any postponement of the departure of the Great Eastern for New York will be avoided, and the ship will consequently sail on Wednesday next. A schism has taken place in the Baptist chapel at Southampton, the pastor of which is the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, a brother of the London preacher of that name. The schism has arisen respecting doctrinal points. Thu Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, and about 300 of his adherents, remove to the Carlton-rooms until a new chapel is built. The London Mr. Spurgeon m ill preach in Southampton next Wednesday, and assist his brother in inaugurating the new movement there. It is in contemplation to build a new Baptist chapel in the centre of the Iligh-street, Southampton. The prizes destined for distribution among the members of the Crystal Palace Art Union attract a constant crowd round theglass case in which they are exhibited. Th• pictures are all original and copyright, and the quality and artistic value of the prize lists are sufficiently testified by the fact that the talents of David Roberts, Durham, Monti, Calder Marshall, and Miller, have been called into requisi-' tion. Mr. Henry Page, the second son of the engineer of Westminster-bridge, has had a narrow escape at Adrianople. A few days after his arrival there in the staff of assistants, who have just completed the survey and levels for the rail way from that city to Constantinople (for which Mr. Page is the concessionaire), he was entering a carriage, when his revolver went off and lodged a bullet in his arm. On hearing of the accident his Highness Suloyman Pacha instantly sent his kurgeon, who extracted the bullet, and the young man is rapidly recovering. The British Ambassador at Con stantinople, Sir H. Bulwer, had most kindly requested the consul at Adrianople that every attotiog should In paid to tie yotuig epgiateer, THE 1)182 URBIINCEB IN WA ?? , K1 TV. --w, -- A letter from Posen says :—There is no doubt that the Government was temporizing, just to gather sufficient troops unaffected by their stay in the Polish capital, - which generally converts true hearted R uss ia ns i nto P o l es . Th ere were on l y 22,000 troop s i n W arsaw during the first manifesta tion, on the 25th of February ; with that numb er Gortschakoff durst not stop the famous procession ; but now the thing is quite different. The garrieon of Warsaw is above 56,000 ; with th a t number they may charge, indeed, the unarmed population , which, excluding the military and officials, amount hardly to twice as many. As ; in that number are at least half women and a quarter children, the Russians had on the last occasion decidedly one soldier to one man at Warsaw. The Czar publishes before Europe that he is going to grant a Constitution, yet he dissolves even the Agricultural Association : he guarantees na'. ionality, and his Government prohibits under penalty of death the wearing of the national costume —nay, even mourning. Was there ever a Government so barbarous as to resort to such a prohibition, and this, too, in the civilised 19th century ? Indeed, if you had lost your own child you would be punished, perhaps shot, if you dared to wear mourning. The last butchery was just for that crime, which hence ' forward will immortalise tho liberal and kind hearted Alexander 11. The people went in proces sion to ask Gortschakoff to allow the Agricultural Society to remain and maintain public order, and on this occasion they were so dispersed ; it appears that everything was prearra • eged The troops, composed chiefly of cuirassiers and Cossacks and some infantry (lately introduced into the capital), were screened behi n d an d ou tside the enormous building now occupied by the Governor- General, and as that splendid palace stands in the centre, they were sure they could always get at the populace as they called. Previous to the butchery these troops were made perfectly drunk, to give them courage to charge the unarmed crowd, and to that state you must ascribe the number of wounded on the part of the Russians. Positively they were so drunk as not to know the- enemy from the foe. They were harangued to kill everybody that wore mourning or the national dress, and that, too, with out distinction of age or sex, and they did charge right and left, and often fell upon their own men, especially when another part of the troops came from the opposite direction. The people could not kill any, for none had even a stick, the Governor having formerly prohibited such a weapon under the pretext that it might be loaded.' So, if there be dead er wounded on the part of the Russians, it must be owing to the fact alluded to, or because they could not tell Europe that there are above 200 wounded and dead on the part of the Poles, and not one Russian. But such really is the case as far as the action of the crowd is' concerned, the troops charging to the terrible shout "Hurrah, hurrah, blindly drunk. In such a state, or owing to their fall, they might, indeed, kill their own or wound themselves. 1 write it from an account of an eye-. witness, who had been dreadfully hurt by being pressed by the crowd, in its struggle, to the wall.) It is a positive fact that the Russian troops who had been long in Warsaw refused to charge on the unarmed, and the Artillery to fire, and to this fact must be ascribed the impunity so long enjoyed by the citizens of Warsaw ; otherwise 22,000 were quite enough to bayonet the whole procession. Poor Captain Popoff was shot within 24 hours for having refused to charge with his troops the crowd that was at that time pass ing the Grand Theatre. An aide-de-camp ordered him to do so in the name of the Czar. No, Sir, I do not charge the unarmed,' said he; I am not a butcher, for he kills the beast not out of humour, but to feed the people. A gallant offi cer never draws his sword against the unarmed, women, and children. I know what waits me, so you had better .report that, having refused to charge on the unarmed, Captain Popoff tore off his epau lettes and broke kis sword ;' and, poor man, he died as a hero. Many of the officers dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood, and carried them about as mementos o true Russian courage and honour. Two other officers, of lower rank, were also thus executed; all officers present on the ground in the citadel cried during that dreadful ceremony ; not one had dry eyes, not even the greatest enemies of the Pole, for they, too, under stood military honour. I cannot give you further details, for, in fact, nobody knows how many have fallen. The military carry off the dead and the wounded, but the fact is that all the largd square before the Prince's Palace was covered with blood. The troops, about 3,000, first discharged a bout portant into the thick of the crowd, and then charged both with the_bayonet and lance (for more than two regiments of Cossacks had hono ura bl e part in that glorious battle-field). First Alexander 11. played farce before Europe, and now he performs tragedies with terrible effect. Yet Europe is still his dupe. They always believe he is kindly and liberally inclined. COMMENCEMENT O 1 THE BAIRAM. The following account of the movements of the Sultan and Court at the commencement of the Bairam is given in the Levant Herald:— On the afternoon of the 10th, thundering salutes from all the batteries,afloat and a%hore, in the Bosphorous and Golden Horn announced the eve of Bairam, and on the following morning his Majesty held his usual rikab in the Court of the old Seraglio. Long before sunrise troops of eager sight-seers of both sexes were flocking from Pera and Galata across the bridge or over the Horn in caiques to Batche-capon, en route for the scene of the morning ceremonial,and from Baluk-bazar up:to the square outside St. Sophia, the narrow alleys of Stamboul between these points were filled with a long stream of passengers. His Majesty did not land at Top-z•apou till shortly before seven o'clock, and it was nearly an hour later before the trumpets announced his passage through Ortakapoussy into the outer court of the palace, on his way to prayers at _Sultan Achmet. A double line of red-coated guards lined the whole extent of the latter enclo sure to the Bab-y-sadet : and as the cavalcade of pashas of every rank, in every armour of gold em broidery on their saddlecloths and uniforms, and studded with medjidielts and nizhan liars, moved slowly down the long incline to the music of the Imperial band; the ensemble would have compared favourably with any court procession to be seen elsewhere in Europe. The minor officers and dignitaries filed past first ; then came the muchirs, and, finally, the chief members of the Government, the Grand Vizier coming last, imme diately before the magnificently-caparisoned led horses which preceded the Sovereign himself. His Majesty, who was mounted on a splendid Arab charger, looked pale and exhausted, and appeared to take no interest in the lively scenes through which he passed. His Majesty remained about three-quarters of an hour at mosque, at ' the end of which a second flourish of trumpets announced to those inside that the Imperial cor tege was in motion back to the inner Gate of Fe licity, where the morning's levee was to be held. The cavalcade returned as slowly as it had gone, and after a few minutes' rest inside, the Sultan d in the seat on the silver-gilt throne w the gateway and took his iemergedn t e r v abeenl from beneath placed The troops had already forme d into a hollow s q uare for him under t a arch way. in front of the Imperial seat, and thin the reception began. Th e members of the Government, headed by the Greed Vizier , first advanced in single andfile, then as each made , his salaam and k i ssed t h e fringe of the golden sash attached to the arm of the throne, which was held out for salute by a high 'officer of the Palace, he retired backwards a few steps till the whole had gone through a similar . ceremonial, when the entire ministerial file ranged up on the right side of the throne. A similar proces sion of the second class officers and dignitaries took place with precisely similar formality. Half an hour had been thus passed—the attendant troop s keeping up jubilant shouts the while, and the, band, too, playing native and other lively airs— when in filed the Ulema from the right, headed by the Sheik-ul-islam.

VISCOUNT WELLESLEY, NOW EARL OF MORNINGTON. This was a motion to set aside the chief clerk's certifi cate and approval of the judge at chambers. Several objec tions were taken by both parties in these suits to the chief clerk's certificate, and time was allowed to take out sum monses, and summonses were taken out objecting to the chief clerk's certificate, and the judge at chambers signed his approval of the certificate, and transmitted the objec tions and summonses thereon into court. The present Earl of Mornington moved for leave to take the certificate and summonses off the file, and be allowed to state additional objections to the Chief Clerk's certificate. _ _ His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that as the summonses were fully taken out, and the approval •f the certificate was signed by the judge, with the consent and approval of both parties, it was final and conclusive. His Honour dismissed the motion, with costs to the Countess of ➢Tornington and the executors of the late Earl of Mornington, and appointed the objections to be heard on the first cause day in Trinity term. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—SERIOUS DIMAGE:TRROUGH A DRUNKEN CABMAN,—John Fitzpatrick, a cab driver, in the employ of Mr. Nunn, cab-master, was charged, before Mr. Mansfield, with damaging the horse and brougham of Mr. Evans, of 52, Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square. Edwin Belton, coachman to Mr. Evans, said, that on Saturday night he was driving the brougham through Grosvenor-street, three ladies being in it at the time, and who fortunately escaped, when the defendant, who was drunk, drove his horse right into his horse and brougham, The horse was seriously injured, had lost a great deal of blood, and in fact was " doubled up," Wiggins, a constable, sa'd the defendant was drunk. Mr. Mansfield asked the witness what he thought the amount of damage was. The witness said he thought about £lO to the brougham, and £2O to the horse. Mr. Mansfield asked to see the defendant's license, and observed that it was free from endorsements: The defendant's wife said her husband had broken his thigh twelve months ago, and that a little drink affected him. lie had met a few friends the previous day, and they had induced him to take some drink. She hoped his worship would deal mercifully with him. Mr. Mansfield said, under the cireumst:nwes, he should net feel warranted in fining him less than 405., or a mote's imprisonment; the owner of the horse and brougham had his remedy against the defendant's master. neTertheloss yrices aro suppl changed hands to a limited e cake trade is dull, at last weed Irtefl.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mary Sheriff, a woman about 25 years of age, of dissipated appearance, with a small and sickly baby in her arms, who has been frequently at this Court for being drunk and disorderly, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing and swallowing two sovereigns, the moneys of a labourer named Gallavan. The parties live in an Irish colony called the Green yard, Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane, where serious ' disturbances have often taken place. On Saturday night Gallavan, who had been quarrelling with his wife for a fortnight, came home intoxicated, and his wife, suspecting he had money, directed her daughter, a young girl, to search his pockets, and she took from them two sovereigns which the mother told her to take care of. At one o'clock on Sunday morning the prisoner, who lives next door to the Gallavan's, came into their house, and hearing that the girl had two sovereigns, said, show them to me, dear. This was done, and she immediately snatched them from the girl and swallowed them, one after the other. The first passed down her throat very easily, but the second ' stuck fast. A jug of water was procured, which she drunk, but that did not relieve her, and she was getting black in the face, and in danger of being suffocated, when the by standers shook her, slapped her on the back most vigor ously, and the sovereign passed into her stomach. She had been very ill ever since. Mr. Woolrych inquired if the prisoner was intoxicated when she swallowed the money. Mrs. Gallavan.—She was lying tipsy in bed all the after noon and night, and got drunk and sober again. The prisoner said if she had swallowed the sovereigns she was very sorry for it, and that she would repay the money if the prosecutrix would forgive her, Kelly, a police-constable, No. 130 H, said that the pri soner was in a very low state, and it was only a fortnight since she gave birth to the child in her arms, and she came out of prison the day before the child was born. Mr. Woolrych was somewhat surprised that an emetic had clot been given to the prisoner directly she swallowed an golds #v rewamded Thursday nut, 1000 ~ r, Share' . stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 100 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 10 etock stock 1 stock 2s. 6d. 124 124 stock Stoc: 12i 124 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 1.0.6 .11 1100 100 100 100 all all Share', 100 stk 18 20i 204 10 100 f 100 100 17i 20 stock 20i 20 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock stock 20 10 20 20 5 20 18.8. all all all all all all all 15s. 8 100 all 100 all all all all 1 5 1 2Si I 1 i 3 <llM‘quig
