410NEY MARKET AND WTI' NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK During the past week there has been little change of importance in the general course of business in the manufacturing districts. At Manchester, how ever, a further advance has taken place in the value of both yarns and piece goods. The woollen trade at Leeds has continued steady, and at Halifax, Hud dersfield, and Bradford preparations for the spring demand has given increased employment to the operatives. The hosiery trade of Leicester has con tinued busy, and a fair amount of business was done at Nottingham and Hinckley. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown symptoms of im provenaent, but in the various hardware districts, viz., Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, no material alteration can be recorded. There was more activity in the Liverpool cotton market on Saturday, and 15,000 bales were dis posed of, at full rates. There is a steady demand for accommodation, and it is readily supplied, although very little business is now transacted under 31 per cent., the recent increase in the inquiry, and the monetary advices from Paris, having induced greater firm ness on the part of the banks and discount houses. About £45,000 in bar gold was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday. The Africa, from New York, has brought £1,166 in specie. the rate of interest on French Treasury Bonds has been raised from 3, 1 ,- to 4 and 41-, per cent., ac cording to the time they have to run before falling due. A second call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the South Eastern of Portugal Railway, payable on or before the 4th proximo. The traffic receipts of the Northern of France Railway from the Ist of January to the 23d ult., amounted to £1,786,596, being an increase of £62,400 compared with the corresponding date last year, and on the Paris and Orleans Railway for the same period the receipts were £2,046,558, or £166,626 more than in 1860. The transactions in the market for Public Secu ties to-day have been rather restricted, but having included a few speculative sales, prices have shown a downward tendency. Consols are quoted 92 r for transfer, and 93 93k for November, being * per cent. lower than they were on Satur day afternoon. The New Threes and the Re duced are steady at 901 91; Exchequer Bills, March, par to 3s. prem. ; ditto, June, 7s. prem. ; Indian 5 per Cent. Loan is 10311, being flat ; ditto 5t- per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 1031 ; and Bank Stock for account has improved to 237. No material variation has taken place in Foreign Securities, and the dealings have been of ' a mode rate character. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 ; ditto, 1858, 681 691 ; Mexican are flat, at 251 and 26k; but Brazilian have improved to 100; Portu guese, to 471 ; Russian, to 100 ; and Spanish are firm, at 50 ; and ditto Deferred, at 44. Business in the Railway Share Market continued inactive, and in some instances prices exhibited a further slight decline. Lancashire and Yorkshire South Easterns receded ss. ; Great Westerns 10s. ; and Caledonians, 15s. ; Great Northerns, however, Were in request at an advance of 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines continue flat— San Paulo brought 51 ; Great Luxembourg de clined to 81 ; and Bahia and San Francisco to 12i ; Great Western of Canada, to 9 and East India to 101.

TOTAL SUPPLY. THE SUN, LONDON, 11IONDAY EVEIVINO, OCTOBER 7, 1861. THIS DAPS 'HAREEM CORN EXCHANGE. In the leading country markets held on Saturday wheat sold somewhat steadily at the late decline in the quotations. Barley was dull, and prices had a downward tendency ; but in oats, beans and peas, as well as in flour, very little change teok place. Tho French markets have continued heavy, at drooping currencies. At New York a large business bas been trans acted in wheat and flour, with moderate sale for export, at higher prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our markets last week were moderate. From abroad we received 13,557 quarters of wheat, 1,100 barley, 25,804 oats, 900 beans, 447 peas, 2,150 linseed, 968 rapeseed, 35 maize, 470 sundry seeds, and 2,102 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this mornings market, the receipts of Eng lish wheat were less extensive than on Monday last. Al though the demand, both for red and white qualities, exhibited no activity, yet, compared with this day se'nnight, there was decidedly a better feeling in the trade, and an advance of is per quarter took place in the quotations. With foreign wheat we were fully supplied. On the whole the demand ruled steady, but by no means active, at last week's currency. In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly, yet prices were fairly supported. The trade for barley was heavy, and the quotations gave way 15. per quarter. Malt moved off slowly, In its value, however, no quot able change was observed. Good and fine oats were in steady request, at quite previous rates. Inferior qualities, however, sold slowly on forme r terms. For beans the demand ruled very inactive, and in some instances prices ruled in favour of buyers. In the value of peas, very little change took place. The inquiry for them, however, was far from active, Most kinds of flour met a limited sale, yet the quotations were maintained.

THE PRICE OF GOLD METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. We had a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, but there was a slight falling off in its general quality compared with several previous weeks. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, the receipts of beasts fresh up were seasonably good, and, for the most part, in fair condition. The primest breeds commanded a steady sale, at full prices—viz., from 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. A few very superior Scots and crosses were held at 4s led per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,900 short horns and mixed breeds ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 7 Scots; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers. There was only a moderate supply of sheep in the pens. The best Downs and half-breds wore in steady request, at full currencies. Otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The top quotation fur mutton was 5s 4d per 81bs.. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices, The highest quota tion for veal was 4s 4d per Sibs. Although the show of pigs was a full average one, the pork trade was somewhat active, at fully last week's cur rency. s. d. s. d.

PRESTON, "Punch Bowl," Farm-street, Berkeley-square. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mine prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.37 i per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is abut 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4;04 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 to losi per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England, But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. DEATH OF MR. DEPUTY HOLT.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. Thomas Holt, the deputy of Parringdon Within ward. A rumour is current that M. de Germiny, direc tor of the Bank of France, has given in his resignation. Herr Berwald, the Swedish composer, has just died at Stockholm, at an advanced age. Mdlle. Patti and the sisters Marchisio arc to sing in the Italian opera at Berlin during the winter. The new work of M.

Du Chaillu, the African traveller, is expected to give a lecture in Glasgow on the oi,h, and in Edinburgh on the 15th instant. Ary Scheffer is to have a statue to his memory at Dodrecht, where he was born. A grand festival is to take place, and the poet Van der Bergh, of the Hague, has been directed to prepare a cantata in honour of the deceased artist. Messrs. Birnsting, it is stated, have purchased, at a cost of £7,000, the sole right to photograph objects in connection with the Exhibition of 1862. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(this Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE W. S. BOUSFIELD. This bankrupt ;was described as trading, with others, under the style of the Patent Engine and Boiler Company, at the Alpha Works, Isle of Dogs. The balance-sheet extends from December, 1860, to July, 1861, and from a statement of affairs at the former date there was a surplus of £4,768. The present accounts (by Messrs. C. Browne and Dubois) shows—Debtor to creditors, £987 ; to do. holding security, .C 4,183 ; liabilities, £2,306 ; creditors by cash, £B3 ; good debts, £693 ; property given up to assignees, £5OO ; do. in the hands of creditors, £4,349; losses, £4,232; domestic expenses, £192. The creditors holding security are family creditors, for money lent, and the property arises under the bankrupt's interest under his brothers. The liabilities are on account of a person named Scott, with whom he had been connected in business. The case had been twice adjourned, but Mr. Murray, for the assignees, asked for a further adjournment for further inquiry. Mr. Linklater, for tho bankrupt, objected, on the ground that the bankrupt had answered all the requisitions of the assignees. The bankrupt ultimately passed. MIDDLESEX SE'SSloll'S.—(This Day. The adjourned sessions commenced this morning, before the Assistant Judge, at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell green. Dugdalo, the Holywell-street publisher, was indicted for pablishing immoral books and prints. He pleaded not guilty. He objected to his trial being proceeded with that day, as he had not had sufficient time to prepare his defence. He also claimed before trial a list of the witnesses that wore to be examined to bear out the indictment. The Assistant-Judge said every facility should be afforded him to meet the charge ; and, in order that he might not complain of haste, he would postpone the trial till Monday next. Another person, lately carrying on business in Russell court, was indicted for a similar offence, but he ;pleaded guilty. Sentence was postponed until after Dugdale's trial. Stephen Meakin, a labouring man, was indicted for steal ing quantity of lead from the roof of a house in the neigh bourhood of Leicester-square. Evidence having been adduced to prove the charge, the prisoner called witnesses to character, amongst them his late employer, who said for 12 years he had placed the greatest reliance in his honesty and had never known him fail. Tho jury returned a verdict of guilty. One of the warders said the prisoner was known at the House of Correction, as he had been there more than once. The Assistant-Judge recalled the person who had given the prisoner a character for honesty, and asked him what he thought of the information that had just been given to the Court. Mr. Ambrogetti said the prisoner was honest. He knew he was addicted to drink, and that was the reason he had quitted his service. The Assistant-Fudge told him that people were not generally sent to th.e House of Correction for getting drunk ; but as it might be for assault, and not for felony, he would defer passing sentence till next session, when he should expect to hear something definite about the prisoner. If it turned out he had be en before convicted of felony, ho would pass a very severe sentence for the offence of which he had just been convicted.. POLICE LV - ZELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET, ASSAULT ox AN OMNIBUS CoxDuarou.—Michael Grady, a gas-fitter, and who gave his address, 29, Sloane quare, was charged with assaulting the con ductor of a Brom.pton omnibus, badge 6,581. The conductor said the defendant got on his 'bus at the top of the Hayraarket the previous night, and seeing that he was drunk he refused to take him as a passenger, and told him to get down. The defendant then used the most dreadful language, the 'bus having several ladies in it at the time, and tried to pull him off his standing place, and then struck him. He afterwaris gave the prisoner into custody. PREFERENCE SHARES. Share! Railway& Pa id I Closing Business 1i Price.

The Spanish Government has opened up the great archives at Simancas to the deputies of our Master of the Rolls. Mr. Bergenroth, a most competent English and Spanish scholar, will calendar and abstract the documents relating to our history. In the Constitutionnel appears a paragraph, signet by M. Boniface, admitting the great alarm existing in the public mind on account of the high price of bread. He adds that official measures have been taken that will pre vent the price rising above 50c. per kilogramme. FALL OF HOUSES.—Shortly after eight o'clock on Saturday evening a number of newly-built houses, near the" Old Kent-road, suddenly fell down with a terrible crash. At first some fears were entertained that the accident had been attended with a loss of life, but on examining the debris it was found that that apprehension was happily unfounded. Journalism seems to be looking up in Naples. Fifteen months since there was but one daily journal in the capital of the Two Sicilies—the scazetla di _Napoli. Now there are 16. With so much mental information, and a little gas, and a little drainage, and a few miles of foot pavement in the streets, we may hope for the best, so far as the Neapolitans are concerned. THE FORTHCOMING FOOT RACE.—The race be tween Deerfoot, the Seneca Indian, and Jackson, "the American Deer," which is to take place at Brompton on Monday, the 14th inst., is exciting much interest among the class of persons who patronise such sports. The Indian, who defies all comers, is likely, it is thought, to meet with his match in Jackson, whose friends are backing him well. The place selected for the match is the West London Cricket Ground, Brompton, a very suitable place for the perform ance, capable of well accommodating quite as many people as are likely to attend. On the following Monday Deer foot will run with a man named Jones, who has obtained some celebrity in Islington and its neighbourhood, and who defeated " the Little Wonder" (Mills) a fortnight ago. With Jackson the match is to be four miles for £5O, and we believe that the same conditions will be made with Jones. Deerfoot is also to run next Monday afternoon in a handioap at Dublin, with Lovett and Mills (the Little Wonder before mentioned), both of whom he has previously defeated. Sharp running, however, appears not to be his only qualification, for he is matched with Beckwith, the champion swimmer of England, to swim 20 lengths of the Lambeth Baths, for C5O, on Wednesday, the 23d of Octo ber, Deerfoot receiving a quarter of a minute start. MURDER IN STIRLING.—As Sheriff Sconce was engaged in the Falkirk Small-debt Ceart on Wednesday, a telegraphic message from Stirling was handod to him on the bench, to the effect that a murder had been committed in Stirling on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. When the contents of the telegram became rumoured in court no little excitement and interest were manifested, seeing that information of the murder had not reached the authorities of Stirling till after the despatch of the morning train, which conveyed his lordship to Falkirk: It appears that a house cf questionable fame is kept in the Castlehill, Stirling, by an old pensioner. His pension became duo on Tuesday, and he and his friends of both sexes betook them selves to the consumption of an unlimited quantity of liquor. There had evidently been a series of quarrels in the house, the precise origin of which, however, is not known in the meantime. Several of the persons, on retiring to bed, seem to have been absolutely oblivious from drink. On awakening in the morning, the pensioner states that he found his wife lying in bed beside him, cold and lifeless, having a ghastly throat wound, effected with some sharp instrument, indicating that she had been murdered. Infor mation having reached the police, the persons found in the house were apprehended, and, a warrant of committal hav ing b een signed by Sheriff Sconce, they were on Wednesday lodged in Stirling prison. One of the women (Christina M'Lean, or Peters) is, in the meantime, suspected of having murdered her own sister (the wife of the pensioner). The maiden name of the murdered woman is Jean Peters, and the suspected murderess is the widow of tho wretched criminal, M‘Lean, who was executed at Linlithgow three or four years ago for the brutal murder of a man, at Dur dtogdoTP, near I3Atlipte,—Falkirk Defendant said he was drunk and wanted to ride. Mr. Beadon said if he (defendant) was drunk the con ductor had a ri:g,ht to refuse hint, and was liable to be punished if he did not. In the month of November next power would be given to commit with hard labour for as saults of the kind, and had it been November ho would have given him band labour. He (Mr. Beadon) would like to know what right he (defendant) had to strike a man who was in charge of a public vehicle. Defendant was fined 405., or a month. CURIOUS CHARGE OF STEAIING A HORSE AND CART. — William Thorn, of 5, Holler-street, farrier, and Robert Utbey, of 3, Chenies-street, farrier, were charged with stealing a horse and tort, of the value of £2l, the property of Henry Lewis steers, a general dealer, of Cherry Orchard road, Surrey. The prosecutor, it appears, had been drinking, and the two accused, probably for a lark, drove off his horse and cart, and lost a quantity of sand from it and the basket, but there appeared little room for giving the accused In charge for a felony. Mr. Beadon said ho should discharge the men, and he would advise the prosecutor to keep sober for the future, THAMES. ALLEGED MURDER AT SEA.—Soon. after Mr. Wool rych had taken his: seat on the Bench this morning, Mr. J. C. Evans, t uperintendent of the Thames division of police, who was accompanied by two seamen, named James Gilroy and William Benson, applied fora warrant to appre hend William Burwood Baldry, the master of the ship Shantang, which was away for three years, and which arrived in the port of London about a fortnight since. Mr. Evans said that three of the seamen belonging to the Shantang had made statements to Captain George Pearce, the shipping master at the Sailors' Home, in Well-street, that James Riley, an ordinary seaman, had died on the 12th of September last, at sea, a few days after he had been severely flogged by the captain. The statements of the men were forwarded to the Board of Trade, with the omcial log-book, and a communication was made to the Home Secretary. Captain Harris, the Assistant Commis sioner of Metropolitan Police, was directed to put the police in motion, and two of the seamen were now ready to be examined on oath. The third man, a very material wit ness, had gone to Liverpool since he made his statement to Captain Pearce. Gilroy and Benson were then examined at considerable length by Mr. Woolrych, and from their united statements it appeared that the captain had frequently beaten Riley with his fists. Before the ship arrived at St. Helena Riley appeared to be very ill, and ho wanted to go on shore with other sick mon to obtain medicine and medical advice. The captain refused compliance with this request, and said he would give him all the medicine he wanted at sea. After leaving St. Helena Riley got worse. One day the captain ordered Riley to clean some brasswork and assist in tarring the rigging. The mate told the captain that Riley was not able to work. The captain said rope's end him, and make him work. The mate declined doing so, and the captain gave directions for Riley to be sent up from below. As the deceased was coming up the ladder the captain beat him with a rope, and upon reaching the deck he flogged him severely over his body. The deceased sung out for mercy, and the captain said, there is no mercy for you, I will have your work, or have your life. The captain then tied two over hand knots in the rope and resumed the beating of the deceased, who cried piteously for mercy. All the crow assembled, and one of them proposed to go aft and take the deceased away. Another seaman overruled this, and said you will get yourself in trouble if you interfere. After the captain had beaten Riley in a most savage manner for a long time, the poor fellow was taken below and put into his berth, where he groaned heavily and appeared to be suffering much. Three days after the deceased was flogged he stripped for the pur pose of washing, and his body then presented a dreadful appearance. The flesh, as described by Gilroy, " was black and blue all over, and the colour of it could not be seen. His breast, legs, and shoulders, were covered with weals." Five days previous to Riley's death he sent fur the captain, and said, in a faint voice, "are you not ashamed of your self." Tho captain said "what for." The deceased said, "for not putting me on shore at St. Helena; you have beaten me, and murdered me." The deceased also said, "he want to make a will, as I know I am going to die." The captain told him there was no ocoasion to make a will, and, on his complaining of cold, gave him a blanket and things to cover him. In answer to questions by Mr. Woolrych, the witnesses said they believed that the brutal flogging inflicted by Cap tain Baldry was the cause of the deceased's death. Mr. Woolrych immediately issued his warrant for the apprehension of Captain Baldry, and it was entrusted to Mr. Evans to execute. Captain Baldry was summoned to this court a few days ago by six of his crew for balances of wages due to them, and he said his own wages were not paid, and he could not get any money from his owners to pay them. Mr. Selfe then made some strong observations on the captain's con duct in spending money he had received for and on account of several men shipped in Batavia. FUN ERAL OF AND TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A POLICE INSPECTOR.--011 Saturday a number of police as sembled in Walcot-place, in front of the late residence of Inspector Stephen Thornton, of the detective department, Scotland-yard (who died suddenly last Monday morning, after entertaining a party of his friends the previous day to celebrate his 29th year in the police), to accompany his re mains as far as Kennington-gate as a mark of respect. Tho funeral procession being formed, advanced to K enni n gton gate, where the police filed off and returned to their eta ; tions, leaving the hearse and mourning coaches to pursua their way to Milted, near Epsom, where th e decease d was buried, NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. am very glad to see that the press ge ne/ally is giving its powerful aid in favour of the art of public reading and speaking being made a compulsory study on the part of all candidates for ordination. et ivoe T nr h .y e oßn ß ue i ts hmus t o it p i o sa f d om ß ni o lty c i h sf e aa s i t r e s r t et op h a io s ot d ht o eh n re e rm t i h ge a bni t t b w edri h sr i e c oo h i the Episcopal bench to say, r e a s r t s e d o f i n p t h u e b I s i t e r o r n e g s e d s i t n g terms t s h p e e i r a k p n p g r o v b a e l i n o g f that nearly all have e th x e p studied by all clergymen and candidates for ordina tion, and I am happy to say this expression of opinion is beginning to have due weight in both universities. It is now just twelve months ago since I ventured to submit to the Vice Chancellor of Oxford a pro position (of course accompanied by satisfactory tes timonials as to competency to undertake the task), that in the absense of any endowed professorship • of elocution at that university, I might be per mitted to give lectures and hold classes for xf the or• d study iviy . and practice of the art at my rooms at o proposal meeting with a prompt and courteous ac quiescence on the part of theVice-Chancellor, I com menced the work by giving a public lecture to the members of the University on the 6th of November last, at the Star Assembly Rooms, " On Elocution considered in reference to Professional Life." The experiment met with immediate success, members of the University, graduates as well as undergraduates, entered their names as pupils, the following morning; and from that time I have de voted the first three days in the week during the Oxford terms to residing there and receiving mem bers of the University as pupils in elocution. A similar work was begun the same day at the sister University by my valued friend, the Rev. Alex. T. D. d'Orsey (the English lecturer of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge) and adverted to by him in his lecture last February at the Royal Insti tution, " On the study of the English Language, as an essential part of a University course." The introductory lectures which I gave at Oxford last Michaelmas Term were published, as you are aware, early in the present year, and for the favourable notice they received from yourself and the press generally I feel my best thanks are most justly due. I cannot help saying that I think one great mis- take has been committed in surrendering the teach ing of elocution almost exclusively hitherto to retired members of the theatrical profession. Hence an idea has sprung up that a man who has studied elocution must of necessity be artificial and what is termed " theatrical" in manner, and clergymen have consequently foregone many advantages from the dread lest the charge should be brought against them—whether unjustly or justly—that in - their reading or preaching they aimed at "stage effect." I gladly and readily admit the obligations owing equally by pastors and congregations to more than one eminent tragedian for instruction given in the important art of "Reading Aloud," but what I assert to be matter of regret is, that hitherto the stage has, with a few rare but striking ex ceptions, almost monopolised excellence in elocu tion. Surely the Church, whose office it is to deal with solemn realities and not fictions, ought not to think beneath its notice the study of an art by which even fictions are made for the time to seem almost realities. I am sure that any man who will give an hour or two for a couple of months to studying and prac tising regularly every day the elements of elocution, will conquer many apparently serious obstacles to his efficiency, whether arising from defective articu lation, or from what is often thought to be, but is not so in reality, a naturally weak voice. Let him only do this, and he will find his reward in reading and preaching with perfect ease and comfort to himself, while,at the same time he will appear to his congregation to be alike in voice and manner, earnest, simple, manly, and natural. I subjoin a list of the archbishops and bishops - who have expressed their conviction of the import ance of the art of elocution being studied under competent masters, by all future candidates for ordi nation. The opinions of their lordships will be found in extenso in the appendix to Mr. d'Orsey's lecture (recently published by Messrs. Bell and Daldy of Fleet-street), and I earnestly commend them to the attention of every thoughtful man. I hope to resume my work at Oxford as usual, early in Michaelmas Term, and trust, now that the press generally has supported the course taken by the Bishop of Rochester, that public opinion will express itself strongly on the subject, and that other bishops will be induced to follow his lord ship's example.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES JOHN PLUMPTR.

Slater, a canvasser or hawker in the service of Mr. Ainsworth, of Piccadilly, Man chester, was charged with "carrying to sell, or ex posing for sale," numbers or various parts of vario us publications. Wood, the license on theicensei 26th Sep tember nspector w holaid h the e information, George sa i d that saw the defendant enter several houses in Butler street, Manchester, with a pack. He followed him into the shop of Mr. Taylor, draper, where he was exposing his goods for sale. He asked the defendant if he had a dictionary, and the latter showed him a "shilling part" of one. Amongst the other books was Sir Walter Scott's " Waverley." Witness asked the defendant if he WAS aware he required a license, and he said he was not liable to have to obtain one, because he hawked them for the man who " made" them ; and in answer to a question as to who the maker was, he said " Mr. Ainsworth, of Piccadilly." The defen dant was then given into the custody of a police officer. Mr. William Taylor said the defendant had pre viously left a number of a book at his premises, and called for it on the day named. The defendant said Wood could have the whole of the numbers of the dictionary, if he required them, for £1 12s. Mr. Ernest Jones, for the defence, having addressed the bench, Mr. Ainsworth said the defendant was in his employ, and had been so, partially, for the last 10 years. It was a portion of his duty to go round with publications belonging to witness and to ob tain subs cr ib ers. He was paid a filed weekly stipend and commission. He had carried on his business undisturbed until now. In answer to the complainant, Mr. Ainsworth said he was not the printer of any of the books found in the defendant's pack ; they were his property. Mr. Ross said the Bench felt compelled to con vict. It could not be said that the defendant was in any way the maker of the goods, or went round as a commercial traveller. It would be satisfactory to them, however, if the question was settled in higher court, and they should be glad if an apple was made. The defendant was fined the lowe st 5 s. penalty (one-fourth o f th e f u ll es t amoun t), v iz., o and costs. Mr. Jones gave notice of appeal, remarking that it had previously been arranged to do neces sary, becaus e o f th e p u bli c i m p or tance of the ques tion. so if CRYSTAL PALACE.—B lon din's benefi t takes place this day.
