kARKET COMMERCI..kL INTELLIGENO CITY, Two o'CLocB. The Liv erpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, !rah a smaller supply. The sales were 10,000 bales (2,000 for export and 1,000 on specu lation), comprising 140 Porn= and Maranham, at 6', 1 ,d to 7d. ; 260 Bahia, 6 7-16 d ; 300 Egyptian, 61c1. to 9d. ; 1,500 Surat, 4d, to 4d.; and 50 Sea Islands, 11d. to ls. 00. per lb. The Share Market, was quiet, and prices were a shade higher 2 than on Saturday. Accounts from tlie Continental Wool Markets show a c on ti nue d . stead i ness in prices, with a de- st. st. crease in transactions in those markets where the pressing wanti of the manufacturers have been sup- 20 20 plied. In Champagne and Burgundy washed 20 wools have been in request ; and at Brie, &c., 1 0 () woods in. grease h ave b een easily sold at If. 20c. to 50 If. 30c. per half-kilogramme. At Chalon-sur- Marv.° the prices are now about the same as they !0 weve last year at this date, and the sales have de- St. creased from 25,000 and 30,000 kilos. to 12,000 ; 5t 5 . and 15,000 per day. Fine lamb's wool is in de- 25 mand. at sf. to sf. 40c. per kilo. At Marseilles : t : the market has been very quiet, which is generally 10 the case after the closing of the fair at Beaucaire. Tb e manufacturers generally have not bought ex- 50 tensively, with the expectation Hof lower prices ; 20 censequently, it is supposed they will make further It• purchases a s th e season a d vances , an d th ere b y give St 10 . art impetus to trade. The prices of imported wools E l t t: St are as follows :—Marne, in grease, from 85f. to t. 122 if. per cent ner ; T un i s , ditto, 721 f. to 75f. ; St. and Syrian washed wools, 125 f. The imports of Eti • the week include 120 bales from Algeria, 311 12 Mazagari, 361 Buenos Ayres, 234 Constantinople, and 344.: from Salonica. 16 j The. Directors of the Riga Railway Company St. have issued a circular, from which we take the following extracts : u.i "The Direct ors b eg t o announce that having had the .g!. draft of th e p ro p ose d statutes of the company settled by " counsel in London, they are now in a position to present fg them to th e I mper i a l R ussian Government for confirms- 124 tion ; at whi c h t i me, accordingto the laws of Russia, the fit. caution mon e y of Si. per cent. on the proposed capital 10 mast be lodged. "The Directors therefore hereby give notice that the 25 call of Al. per share, formerly announced, will be now 25 required for the purpose of this deposit. Bt. "The directors take this opportunity of informing 312 ° the shareholders, that, In consequence of the numerous E reports re s p ec ti ng th e guarantees by the Imperial Rua- st.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that the prisoner was a very respectable young man, who had frequently protected his mother from the violence and outrageous conduct of Price, who had been convicted 20 times for assaulting Lis wife and others. 12 - 14 139 - 141 4 ... 4h The report and the statement of accounts, already published, were deemed satisfactory and were adopted. A dividend at the rate of 41- per cent, was agreed to, and the meeting shortly after terminated. Mr. Yardley said a sore perverse and violent man than Price bad never come before him, and that he bad been compelled to send hive to prison continually for as3aults. He had no doubt that it would turn out that Price was the aggressor. The prisoner said, that was so. He left 61. for the support of his mother and sister while he was out in the Crimea with the Army Works Corps, and his step-fatber lived on the money and would do no work. Yesterday Price commenced beating his mother, and he (the priso ner) in protecting her, beat his mother's husband, and would do so again if he saw his mother ill•used.

The complainant, a decent-looking female, said she had been"married to the prisoner seventeen years, and he gained a very good living as a corn porter, but he expended nearly all his money in drink, leaving her and her three children nearly destitute. For the last fourteen months he had been continually drunk—in fact she believed he had not been sober a moment during that period. They had lodgings at 26, York-street, Blackfriars-road, and his disgraceful conduct was an annoyance to all the neighbourhood, as hawas continually ill using her. The )tagistrate asked her when was the last time he ill used her, and she reluctantly replied that en Sunday afternoon he came home drunk, and, without any pro vocation, knocked her down. He endeavoured to push her down stairs amidst the ,screams of the children, but fortunately her landlord came to her assistance and pre vented him. He was mad drunk, and she was compelled to call in the police for her Protection: Edward Page, the landlord of the house in which the prisoner and his wife lodged, said that whenever her husband came home he was drunk, and then he beat and knocked her about. On Sunday he heard her cry out "murder," and the children scream out, which induced witness to go up to her protection. He (the defendant) was se intoxicated that he was compelled to send for a constable and give him into, custody. The Magistrate asked the woman whether her bus• band 'ever used her with great violence She replied in the negative. She did not wish to send him to prison. All she required was protection from his violence. She believed if he was bound over he would reform his habits. atrrortilli Lancash York eh. T. Brassey N.

ACTION AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY. -...----- A case of considerable importance to men of business travelling on railways, and the public generally, as oleo to railway companies, came on for trial before C. J. Gale, Esq., judge of the county court of Hampshire, at Basingstoke, on Saturday, the 20th ult., Mr. Malford, a timber-merchant, residing at Greywell, sued the Lon don and South- Western Railway Company for the sum of 14z. 9J. under the following circumstances. On the Bth of May last, Mr. Maiford having business to trail / sact at Godalmiug, in Surrey, obtained a ticket at the Winchfield station on the Southampton line to go by the up -traits to Woking, where be intended to obtain another ticket to go by the down-train from Woking to Godalluing, which leaves the former at 11.3 a.m. On the up-train arriving at Winchfield, it was 20 minutes bellied its regular time, so that on its arrival at Woking the dowt-train had left the station and gone on to Go dalining. Mr. Malford's bu-iaess being pressing, instead of waiting for the next train to take him on to G-odal i»ing, he hired a horse and chaise, kr which he had to pay 14s. 93,, and which sum he now sought to recover by this action. These facts being proved on the part of the plain tiff, and not disputed by the company, Mr. Greenfield, of 'Winchester, solicitor, who appeared for the com. pany, contended that they were not liable, inasmuch as the delay was not occasioned by the neglect or miscon duct of the company's servants, but by causes over which they had no contr,,l. The guard of the train who had travelled with it on the day in question fr3m Southamp ton to Waterloo was then called by Mr. Greenfield, who proved that the lamming of that day had been very wet, and a strong north east wir.d prevailed throughout the whole day, so that the driver found it impossible to pro pel the engine (although in good working order) at its proper speed against the combined effects of the wet rails and the strong adverse wind. The driver was in attendance to prove the same. After the guard bad given his evidence the learned judge intimated to Mr. King, of Basingstoke, solicitor fur the plaintiff, that he thought the defence set up by Mr. Greenfield on behalf of the company was a complete answer to the case ; but Mr. King contended that it was the duty of the driver under tho circumstances to have put on more steam, or to have telegraphed to the down train at Woking to stop there until the up train arrived. Both of these points, however, were over-ruled by.the learned judge, one on the ground that the course suggested might have been attended with danger to the passengers on the up train —the other, that th e company h a d no right to detain the down train beyond its usual time for starting. He therefore gave judgment for the defendants with costs. —oSulisbury Journal. 3 - - 8 34 - 91 - ettEle E RENO E SNAKE.~. we A hero. en Deben. 1.00 Do. 6 per cent. 100 Do. No. 2,7 p. c al!

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A CHILD.—Tbis morn ng a little girl, whose head just appeared above the dock, named Mary Ann Stevens, aged 12 years, was charged before Mr. Henry with robbery under the fol lowing circumstances : Mrs. Ann Knowles deposed that a few days ago sbe arrived in London from Hampton Court and proceeded to the lodgings of her husband, whose occupation ren • dered it necessary for her to reside during the week days in London, at 15, King-street, Long-acre, and having put clean linen on the bed she locked the door of the room, which was on the third floor, and left the place, but before doing so she opened the window to admit the fresh air. On her return she was informed of the rob bery of the place, and the articles, now produced, a sheet and a bundle containing the remnants of another, she identified as her property. A. police-constable said that from information he had received he proceeded to the prosecutor's house, 16, King-street, Long-acre, and having reached the top of the house he saw the prisoner look through the trap-door and drop the bundle produced. He did not see the robbery committed, but he had been over the place where the prisoner was seen to walk, and the wonder was that the child had not been dashed to pieces. A woman named Blake stated that yesterday, from the window of her apartment in Short's-gardens, she saw the child get out of the attic window of No. 15, King - street, and walk "along the parapet and enter the window of the adjoining house. She was exceedingly alarmed at the appearance of the child,:and every moment she ex pected to see her fall into the yard beneath. Her alarm was farther increased when she saw her climb over the party wall of No. 16, which was considerably higher than that of No. 15. Having reached the roof she saw her enter the window of a room occupied by prose cutor. In a few minutes she again appeared at the win dow, having a bundle in her hand, and then she pro ceeded to retrace her steps to the window of No. 16. On arriving at the party wall she dropped the bundle over and then proceeded to let herself down, but in doing so she slipped, but fortunately fell against the side of the house. The scone was so terrific that she (witness) felt it impossiblis to leave the place were she was standing, and she was afraid of 'alarming the place, as the effect of one false step by the child would have consigned her to instant death., In t e course of her return along the parapet she twice fell against the roof of the house, and on reaching the roof of No. 16, she proceeded to a hole and there hid the bundle. Mr. Henry here ordered the child to be placed upon a ■tool in the dock, and said it appeared almost incredible that a child so young coilld commit such an act. The worthy magistrate then asked the child what she had to say in anwer to the charge. The girl remained silent, and began to cry. The mother of the prisoner then came forward, and stated that the prisoner was the eldest of her four children, and that being obliged to leave home yester day she locked her apartments and then proceeded to her work. The child had, unfortunately, fallen into vicious habits, and she had done all she could to break her of them. She did not allow her to run the streets, and the only way she had of preventing her from doing so was to lock her in the room when she (the mother) was compelled to be from home. Such was the unfor tunate girl's love for sweetmeats that she had frequently torn the skirts of her brothers and sisters into rags, iu order to sell them for a halfpenny to procure them. She had done all that laid in her power to keep her from bad companions. The poor woman, with tears in her eyes, imploringly asked the magistrate to do something to save her poor child. Mr. Henry (to the mother)—Has she ever been in 1 I I prison ? The Mother—Oh, no, sir. Mr. Henry said such a case as the present was ex ceedingly difficult to deal with. He would remand the child for a week, and in the meantime consider what could be done in the case. MANSION -HOUSE. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —Three young girls, named Neal, Jones, and Welch, were placed at the bar before Sir G. Carroll, charged with highway robbery. Edward Palmer deposed that about 12 o'clock last night he WAS walking along Tower -street with a friend, who was not particularly sober, when the prisoners came up to them and asked to be treated. Rig friend con- sented, and they all went to a public-house, where he treated them with half a pint of gin and a pot of beer. Witness after that wished to leave, and led his friend away, but the prisoners followed them and endeavoured to dissuade him from doing so, but to accompany them, and a struggle ensued between witness and the prisoners because his friend had no desire to go with the women. The prisoners shortly after desisted and left, and then witness discovered his watch and gold guard had been stolen, and his friend also discovered that he had been robbed of his handkerchief, Ms., and a foreign coin. They followed the prisoners, and saw them enter a court in the Minories, when they called a policeman, who went into the court and apprehended them. The friend of the last witness identified the hand• kerchief and foreign coin produced by the police, and corroborated his friend's evidence. Police-constable 547 deposed, that he went after the prisoners at the request of the two last witnesses, and found all three of them hiding in a water•closet, the door of which he and his brother officer had to break open to get them out. The handkercbeif had been thrust down the closet, and was taken out by witness. Nothing had been heard or seen of the watch and guard. Sir G. Carroll asked if the prisoners were known. The policeman said they were all prostitutes. The prisoners indignantly denied the imputation. Sir G. Carroll then sentenced the prisoners -to biz weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour. ' - ROBBERY AT THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—Three men, named Underwood, Robinson, and Paveley, were remanded, charged with being concerned with others in stealing a box df goods, containing mantles, &c., from the Great Northern Railway. THAMES. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ASSAULT. Tlumtas 2lf Vormick, a young man of respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. Yardley, chirged with assaulting a man named Price, his step-father, who was stated to have been car ried to /the London Hospital yesterday evening in an insensible condition from the severe punishment ho re ceived from the prisoner. A certificate was put in by a police constable which state] the wounded man was in a dangerous state and could not leave the hospital. Francis Silby, a mechanic, of No. 7, Morgan-street, St. George-in-the-East, stated that when he came home to dinner yesterday (Monday), he Saw William Price quarrelling with his step-son, the prisoner, at the doOr of his house. Soon afterwards Price came out of his dwelling with his eyes cut, swollen, and bleeding, andand upon asking him the cause, he said his son had done it. He ascertained afterwards that the prisoner had chal lenged his stepfather to fight while he was at: dinner. paciged the'parties, and soon afterwards they tegan LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

These appeals elicited t o point of interest; LIABILITY OF HOTEL KBEPEIIS. At the Manchester Court of Record yesterday a new trial took place in the case " Cashel' v. Wright." Mr. Wi ight is the keeper of the Spread Eagle Hotel ; Mr. Richard Cashel!, the plaintiff, is a starch manufacturer at Dublin, doing business at Manchester, and usually staying at the Spread Eagle Hotel when at Manchester. In June, 1555 he was at Manchester, and put up at the Spread Eagle. In the evening, when in the commercial rooms, he examined his receipts, which were in notes and money, and when he went to bed he left i❑ his coat breast pocket two crossed cheques and a 51. and 101. note—altogether 1391. In his trousers pockets, when he went to bed, he had four sovereigns, and upon his dressing table he placed a ♦ery valuable gold lever watch with massive gold chain, and a gold ring. He did not very carefully fasten his bed reom door, and his account next morning was that he had left it open, but upon further reflsction he said he gave it a push meth cleut to faste❑ it, supposing the catch to be good. Dur ring the night the boots let in a man with a small paper parcel, and then went to sleep. This man entered plain tiff's room and stole the watch and guard and the four sovereigns, and was subsequently convicted of the rob bery, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. An action was brought by the plaintiff against the de fendant to recover the amount, 401., i❑ the Manches ter Court of Record, before Mr. R. B. Armstrong, re. corder, when tile jury gave a verdict for 251.; but a motion was made in the Queen's Bench for a new trial on the ground of misdirection to the jury, the Recorder having in effect told the jury that tue plaintiff was en titled to their verdict, unless be had in his conduct at the hotel been guilty of gross nE gligence. Mr. Justice Erie gave judgment in favour of a new triat, on the ground that the directions to the jury ought to have been that the plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict, if he had used the caution of an ordinarily prudent person. The ease was consequently re-tried yesterday, when the Recorder read Mr. Justice Er'e's judgment. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff, damages 301. ; being Si. more than was given by the first jury. OPENING OF THE OYSTER SEASON. Yesterday, the " opening of the oyster season" took place in the ordinary way at Billingsgate, at an early hour in ale forenoon. In the unavoidable absence, through sickness, of Mr. John Goldham, the duties of his office were fulfilled by his brother-in-law, Mr. Charles James Hall, who was the acting superintendent upon the occasion. The number of boats this year did not average more than 10—the smallest number we ever re member to have seen since we have recorded this annual opening of the oyster season. The subjoined are the prices realised, as ascertained from the books of the clerk of the market : Natives £2 2 0 per bushel. Commons Welsh 1 4 0 ditto, Jo Pearls 0 14 0 ditto, There was a very brisk demand, and the cargoes were quickly sold. r.rge quality of the whole was spe cially good. At the early hour of six o'clock in the forenoon our reporter heard the "market bell" tolling► out the opening of the oyster season. At that hour a fleet of boats were moored in front of the market, but they formed but a faint representation of the triple tier we remember ten years ago to have seen, and when not less than ten times their number anchored in the same, or in the ad. jacent spot. Several circumstances combined to cause the difference, one of which is the increase in the supply laudward, in consequence of the rapidity, convenience, and cheapness of rail way conveyance; another is the operation of the new law for the protection of the oyster beds ; and, finally, the monopoly which has sprung up in consequence of such beds haviiig - fallen into the hands of the larger holders, the smaller men being, in a great degree, in consequence, shut out of the market. Perhaps, however, it may just now be unwise to make any further remarks. We have given the prices of yes terday, the opening day. At another time we may say more. It is only just to say that the whole of the duties of the day were, in the absence of Mr. Goldham, per formed in the most catiafactoly ulanuer by his refire. .entative, Mr. Hal D 0.., Do.. A FRESH MAN, Naval and Military intelligence. ___ PORTSMOI7TH, MONDAT.—We much regret to state that a most mutinous spirit was evinced last evening by the Marines belonging to the Caesar, 91, screw, Captain Robb, now in the steam basin-dock. It appears that many of those on board are young hands, and not the best of cha racters, and it may be that they have some grounds for complaint. The Cmsar has been decked with her crew on board. The present regulations of the dockyard are pe remptory as to "no smoking being allowed." Now, this is a little hard. Now, " Jack in the jolly" would rather go without his middle-day feed than go without his " bacey." We cannot see why a certain portion of the ship should not be set apart, at proper hours, with a sentry and police-officer, and let the crew have their half-hour's smoke; all danger would thus be prevented, and much cause of grievance done away with. In this instance the marines have behaved very badly; they have lost caste; their conduct was insulting and mutinous to their officers and the captain of the ship. They commenced throwing , abot about the deck, broke their mess-traps, and shouted more like maniacs than men belonging to the long-honoured corps of Royal Marines. This riotous disposition manifested itself soon after dinner time, and continued the whole afternoon. By some means also—for women cannot be searched at the dockyard gates —some vile spirits were introduced in skins, which completed the mischief. At five o'clock the ringleader was put in irons, but this was of little avail. Between ten and eleven o'clock the commander-in-chief, Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, and the Rear-Admiral Superinten dent Martin, went on board, and endeavoured to bring the marines to a sense of their duty, kindly asking them what they had to complain of, yet firmly telling thain that dis cipline must be observed at all hazards. The serjeant of marines, who has been in the corps upwards of 16 years, stated that they were the worst lot of men he had ever had to do with ; and so refractory had they become that he could do nothing with them. At twelve o'clock the admi ral thought it necessary to send to the Royal Marine Ar tillery Barracks for assistance; and, somewhat to the alarm of the inhabitants, at between ono and two o'clock (midnight), 200 men belonging to the Royal Artillery were marched into the dockyard. The knowledge of this imposing force brought against them produced its effect, and the ringleaders were ironed and conveyed on board the Victory. They had threatened to break through the gates, scale the walls, and do any amount of mischief All is quiet to-day, but se'itries are posted all round the ship and at the cross bridge. The Caesar will come out of dock this night at ten o'clock, and be towel to Spithead to-morrow morning. Rhadamanthus, 2, paddle store-ship, arrived this more ing with boilers and machinery from Woolwich, and came into harbour to discharge the same Dodd, steam transport, No. 221, Capt.
