During the lest few days the transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not been of a very extensive character. In tea the operations have been sustained owing to the ap proach of the public sales, which commence to-day. Sugars remained in fair request, at full rates ; and in the refined market the demand for home consump tion was on the increase. Coffee continued dull, and prices have slightly given way in consequence or the large quantity to be offered at public sale. Ric e has been in active request, at full prices, and a moderate business has been done in tallow for both present and future delivery. A fair amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were Wall supported. The sales were 8,000 bales. About £BB,OOO in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Atrato has arrived from the West Indies with £128,600 chiefly in silver. Tele g raphic advices report the departure of the following vessels with gold, from Australia for England, viz., the Kohinoor with £472, the Orwell With £155,036, and the Water Nymph with £ 2 03,072. A call of £2 per share, amounting to £260,000, becomes due to-morrow on the Great Indian Penin sular Railway shares. At the half-yearly meeting of the London and 131 ackwall Railway Co. held to-day, it was stated that the balance of profit available for distribution was £12,474 18s. 11d., from which it was resolved to declare a dividend at the rate of £2 15s. per cent. per annum. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues steady, and the rates show no material variation. Business in the market for Public Securities con tinues very dull, but notwithstanding •the limited operations for transfer and on speculation, the quotations remain very firm. Consols for money are well maintained at 901 1, and for the account at 90a 1. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm, at 901 ; I; Exchequer Bills, March, are 12s. dis. ; ditto June, ss. to 2s. dis. ; Bank Stock is 2354, being flat ; India New Loan Scrip is firm at 100 a. Very little alteration has occurred in Foreign Securities, and the dealings have not exceeded the average. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 781 to 79 ; ditto, 1858, 69 to 691; ditto £lOO Bonds have re• ceded to 71 ; Chilian are firm at 103; ditto 41-- per Cents. at 82 ; Peruvian at 991; and the Uribarren are steady at 90. In the railway share market business has con tinued rather dull; in one or two instances, how ever, a slight improvement has taken place. Brighton and North-Eastern (Berwicks) have ad vanced ss. ; Great Northern, 10s. ; and Great Western, 15s. South-Western, North British, and South-Eastern have declined 55., and North- Western, 10s. The foreign and colonial undertakings have re mained at about previous values. Grand Trunk of Canada, however, advanced abcut ss. Joint-stock Bank and miscellaneous shares have bezn exceedingly inactive. English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered improved 55.; London and County declined 108. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

Considerable excitement prevailed yesterday aTter sto - noon in the vicinity of Cremorne-gardens on account B s t ° o of the announcement that a lady calling herself :I° o the "Female Blondin " was about to cross the river on a tight-rope extending from the gardens e st t' c c to a wharf at Battersea. Through some deficiency B s t t c c in the guide-ropes, as they are called, the feat stc was not completely accomplished, and when the lady, who had started from Battersea, had per- I formed four-fifths of her perilous journey, she was eti compelled to sit down, and ultimately descend into st , a boat . The courage displayed under these t r y in g :1 4 circumstances created almost a greater amount of admiration than would have been produced Lad the artist walked all the way from Battersea to Cre- et Morne, and of her ability to perform the feat there et 18 not the slightest doubt. Both sides of the river Were densely thronged, and, though the perform ance st was over at half-past seven , the roads leading et to Cremorne were scarcely passable at nine o'clock s t 'on account of the returning crowds. The experi- B . ; nient will be repeated on Monday next and the four st following Mondays, when Mr. E. T. Smith will S a l i give as many special fetes. On the 27th inst. Mr. et -Adams, the secretary of Cremorne, whose indefati gable zeal and industry have proved eminently serviceable for the last 10 years, will take his benefit. THE WEATHER.

His Honour having announced yesterday his intention to read to-day a letter he had written to the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, on the subject of the New Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law, and soliciting the attendance of mem bers of the bar, press, and others interested, the court was crowded to excess before 12 o'clock, although an hour pre viously it was generally understood that his Honour had, for reasons he would explain, deferred the reading. His Honour was in attendance before the time appointed, and on the arrival of Mr. Bayley, to whom he had ad dressed himself on the previous day, briefly addressed the gentlemen of the bar, &c., and now said that since he last mentioned the subject he had had a conversation with a gentleman, upon whose judgment he placed the greatest confidence, and, in deference to his opinion, he should post pone the reading of the letter until, the re-assembling of the legal world after the holidays. Those gentlemen, therefore, who were there in anticipation of bearing the letter read would, he was sure, be disap pointed ; but disappointed only for a short time, for after the vacation he should certainly read the letter. He ex pressed his regret that ho had caused the disappointment. The Court gradually assumed its usual state of confusion of tongues and voices generally experienced in these courts. The cases were few and briefly disposed of. A certificate meeting was held in the matter of William Broddon, coal merchant, of the Holloway Coal Station Depot. The accounts by Mr. F. B. Smart, Basinghall street, shows—Dr. to Cr., £678 ; assets about sufficient to pay expenses. His Honour granted a certificate of the third class. IN RE TALLIS. This bankrupt, Lucenda 'rani, described as of Warwick square, &c., bookseller, applied for her certificate. The accounts by Mr. Janes Hutton, of Moorgate-street, shows—Dr. to Cr., £1,706; to ditto holding security, £986. Creditor—good debts, £258; doubtful, £27; pro perty, £164; property in the hands of creditors, £521; deficiency, Ist Jan., 1860, £1,581. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the third class. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH- STREET. THREATENING TO STAB A CONSTABLE AND A LAND LORD. - Phoebe Ricktts, a well-dressed female, was charged as follows : George Mott, 97 C, said—Last night I was in Grosvenor market, and was called by Mr. Camfield, a builder, to the prisoner, who was making a great disturbance. I asked her to go in -doors, and as she would not I was obliged to take her into custody, when she took out a pair of scissors and threatened to stab me, and struck me several times. Mr. Wm. Camfield, builder, of Grosvenor-market, said the prisoner caused a great disturbance, broke the panels of the door, and also threatened to stab him with a pair of scissors, and then struck him in the eye. She had been drinking. Prisoner said she only broke the panels of the door to get at her husband, who had locked her out. Mr. Mansfield said of course he would do that if she got drunk, and fined her 20s. or 21 days. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Henry Covey, a rough looking fellow, was charged with stealing some money from the person of Elizabeth Whitehead. The prosecutrix, who is an " unfertunate," went into the Black Horse public-house, Jermyn-street, with a com panion, and undid her pocket handkerchief, in which was wrapped some money, nearly a pound, when the prisoner made a snatch at it and made to the door. The prosecu trix's companion seized him and asked him to give the money back, when he struck her a severe blow on the eye. He was, howe - ier, secured and handed over to the police by one of the hackney carriage attendants, having thrown the money to his companions. Mr. Mansfield said it was a most outrageous, ruffianly robbery of these poor creatures, and committed the prisoner for trial, ordering the constable to make inquiries whether the prisoner had been previously convicted. SHOCKING MURDER AT TROMP:. FROME, MONDAY. This neighbourhood, which during the past twelve months has been so fraught with deeds of blood, is again the scene of a murder of a cold blooded, deliberate, and determined character. The deed was committed late on Saturday night, but it was far in the day yesterday before particulars became generally known. No investigation has as yet, of course, taken place, but we believe the fol lowing details will be found correct in the main About a week ago three labourers, named Byard Greenland, liriah Greenland, and Win. Millgrove, left their home in the rural village of Buckland Dinham, about three miles from Frome, with the purpose of seeking work in Wiltshire during the corn harvest. They found employment in the neighbourhood of Warminster, and there they stayed until Saturday last, when all three started for their homes. They reached Frome in the even ing, and visited two or three public-houses before they resumed their homeward walk. Soon after eleven o'clock they left the town, all being sober, and apparently quite friendly. They had not pro ceeded far on the road to Buckland, whet, a slight dispute commenced about the division of the money, Byard Greenland, as leader of the company, having been paid the whole of the sum for their work. His companions were somewhat displeased at his delaying a settlement—hence the origin of the altercation, which, however, was of no very un friendly character. Byard said Uriah had damaged a gun of his, and he should deduct eighteenpence from his ;hare. Uriah said that, however that might be, it was no reason that Millgrove should not be paid his share. Upon this all three laid down their scythes upon the road, being about half a mile from the town. Millgrove, who has furnished these particulars, supposes the scythes were laid down for the purpose of then and there dividing the money. It would appear, however, that this was not the intention of Byard Greenland, for he at once rose his arm, and directly afterwards Uriah fell, exclaiming, " Oh, Bill! he has hit his knife into I." Millgrove immediately assisted the fallen man, and when car rying him to the bank on the road side said to Byard, "Thee hast done 'un." Byard said, " Thee can't swear that Bill." Millgrove replied, " I can." When Millgrove had placed the fallen man on the bank, both he and Byard went forward to the turnpike 'gate, which was only about 100 yards in front of them. Millgrove told Gane, the gatekeeper, of what had occurred, and Gane recommended him to run into the town and procure medical assistance. Mill grove did so. Byard, meanwhile, told Gane that Uriah had ran against his scythe, and that it was in that way he got hurt. He at the same' time told Gane to take possession of his scythe, and see if there was blood upon it. He then proceeded on the Buckland-road, and it was afterwards ascertained that he went into the cottage of his nephew, to whose wife he repeated the story he had told the gatekeeper, and afterwards, at another house, he made the same statement. In about half an hour Millgrove returned with Mr. Mallam, a surgeon, but upon their arrival the unfortunate man was quite dead. Mr. Mallam, on finding this, despatched Millgrove back to Frome to inform the police, and also prevailed on another man who happened to be passing at the time to ride to Buckland, and give information to Millward, the police-officer stationed there, and to request him to secure the person of Byard Greenland. Mr. Mallam at length procured assistance, and the body of the ill-fatcd man was conveyed to a neighbouring beerhouse, and upon examination Mr. Mallam found that:a wound had been inflicted upon the left breast, above the sixth rib, and that the heart had been penetrated. Death must have been almost instantaneous. _ _ In consequence of the information Police-constable Ward received from Mr. Ala Ham's messenger, he proceeded to Byard Greenland's house, and found him there changing his clothes, evidently with the intention of escaping. He was taken into custody, but the examination of his clothes showed little or no trace of the bloody deed he had perpetrated. The Greenlands are distinctly related, and the motive for this most deliberate crime appears to be that Uriah had procured a warrant against Byard, and that the latter became aware of the circum stance. There is evidence to prove that he has fre quently threatened to stab the deceased. The prisoner is a very giant in height and strength. He has a wife and eight children. The deceased leaves a widow who is enceinte, and one child. The knife, a dagger-shaped instrument with a spring, which the prisoner purchased only a fort night ago, has not yet been found. The prisoner is to be brought up for examination to-day. -- - SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION. MR. CHEETHAM AT GOLBORNE. Last evening, Mr. Cheetham addressed the elec tors of Ashton-in-Mackerfield, Golborne, Colcheth, Kenyon, Haydock, and Lowton, at Golborne. In a capacious bowling-green connected with the New Inn, the local committee had construted a hustings for the accommodation of the speakers ; and there was a good muster of the supporters of the hon. candidate. Mr. Cheetham was accompanied by Mark Philips, and there were present Messrs. J. M•Keand, Jabez Johnson, Joseph Knott, Thomas Kirkpatrick, Caleb Wright, T. L. Travers, J. Hol land, 7. Unsworth, J. Standring, R. Greenough, Walker, &c.—Mr. Macand was voted to the chair and commenced the business by introducing Mr. Mark Philips to the meeting. Mr. Phiiips said that Mr. Cheetham had already served the county well for a long period, and had a strong claim upon the electors, now they had acquired the right of electing a third member. There was not a single Liberal elector who must not have thought himself somewhat disgraced at the result of the last election in Lancashire, the nest of free trade. Mr. Cheetham always gallantly stuck to his colours, and it was rather too much of Mr. Turner to 'come for ward and claim credit for measures in obtaining which Mr. Cheetham and his friends had borne the burden and heat of the day. When they had to fight for free trade Mr. Turner was in the ranks of their opponents, and it was a shabby pretext to come for ward now as a free trader, and he (Mr. Philips) was persuaded that the electors would not be led away with such chaff. (Laughter.) Mr. Cheetham had devoted mii.3ll of his time to the subject of the cotton supply, in which it was true he was himself personally interested, but so was every man, woman, and child in the country—(hear, hear) —and he for one did not wish to stand by and hear another claim an equal right to gratitude when Mr. Cheetham had laboured so long in so important a cause. He (Mr. Philips) did not know whether he was called a Radical. He did not care much indeed what he was called. (Laughter.) But he wanted to see things go a little quicker than Mr. Turner and his friends, and he did not feel in the slightest degree alarmed that Mr. Cheetham would displace the political machinery ; and, therefore, he thought the interests of the county safe in his hands. The Tories often made a great push at elections, and claimed to be as good as their oppmr nts ; but old birds were not to be caught with such chaff. (Laughter.) The polling day was close at hand, and he called upon them to show then that they appre ciated those who had worked hard in the cause of advancement. Mr. Cheetham was not the sort of man who wanted to put a rope to the steeple of the church to pull it down, any more than he would wish to pull down his neighbour's mill. He was not the man to interfere in any respect with other peoples' religion, and would have every man enjoy his own opinions politically and religiously. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Philips) hoped to have the honour of seconding Mr. Cheetham's nomination on the hustings, at Newton•le-Willows,on Wednes day, and he should take the opportunity of asking Mr. Turner and his friends whether they would faithfully promise to allow every elector to vote without exercising any undue influence. If they would not do that, let the voter have the pro tection of the ballot. (Cheers.) He recommended Mr. Cheetham as an honest man, as a sound politi cian, and as ono capable o f serving the constituency honestly and faithfully. (Cheers.)—Mr. Cheetham, on coming forward, was loudly cheered. He said the two parties who were contesting this election were widely distinct from each other, and their principles were clearly defined. One was the party of progress, and the other the party of o b s t ruc ti on . The party with which he was identified had ever been in favour of advancement, and the result had proved that . they were right. Th e y h a d th e ad missions of their opponents that on the subjects of free trade and reform the course e age r ly contended for by tne Liberal party was the correct one, But now Mr. Turner asked them to forget the past, and accept his promises for the future. Mr. Turner claimed to be an authority on the subject of the cotton supply, because he had been in India and America for the purpose of selling calicoes. (Laughter.) But he never heard of Mr. Turner in connection with the ques tion of cotton supply before th at election, and he never heard of him when representations were made to the Indian Government to induce them to abandon the unwise measure of imposing a duty of 10 per cent. on all goods imported from England. (Cheers.) At the conclusion of Mr. Cheetham's address, a resolution approving of his principles, and pledging the meeting to suppo r t hi m a t th e coming election, was proposed by Mr. Jos. KNOTT, and sec onded by Mr. T. L. TRAVERS . -M r. J. Walker, of Liverpool, also a dd resse d t h e meet i ng , and the resolution was unanimously passed.

A FINE SPECIMEN OF A CAB -HORSE.—Wm. Hearn, a cab-driver, appeared before Mr. Woolrych, to answer a summons taken out by Mr. Willi :m Clatworthy, Inspector of Public Carriages and Horses, who said he found the defendant's horse and cab on the rank on Tower-hill. The horse was very weak, and there was a large sore on the right shoulder. It was not fit to be worked. Mr. Arthur Cherry, veterinary-surgeon, said the poor cab-horse was brought to him. It was very lame and very weak. There were sores on its withers, and it was alto gether in a very sorry condition. Mr. Woolrych—How old is the horse ? Mr. Cherry—Probably 20 years old. Mr. Woolyrch (surprised)—Twenty years old ! And what is this poor horse fitted for? Mr. Cherry—For the knacker's yard. It is certainly not fit to work in a cab, and it ought not to have been at work at all. Mr. Woolrych-1 think not, indeed. The cabman made an apology for his horse. He was very sorry, indeed. lie did not know the animal was so bad as it was represented to be. Mr. Woolrych said it was most scandalous to work a horse in such a deplorable condition in a public vehicle. Ho was very glad there was such an officer as Mr. Clat worthy to look after cab horses. He fined the defendant 15s. and costs. THIS Ray's MARKETS. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.—OId Aloadow hay, £2 Os to £5 Os Od ; new do., £2s Os to £4 Os ; old clover do., £3 lOs to £0 Os ; load.

On Saturday morning one of the workmen in this quarry met with a most frightful death. A num ber of men had been working at a rock two ter races above where this unfortunate man was in the habit of working, and they had driven rock-wedges or iron bars into a slit of the rock, but, finding that these wedges told very perceptibly upon the rock, they desisted, intending to throw it down when the other quarrymen were at breakfast and out of danger. It appears that the layers are vertical in this part of the quarry, and whether the workmen had miscalculated the power of the wedges upon the rock, or whether other causes of which they were not cognisant operated upon them, the mass was perceived to give way, and hardly could the usual warning of danger be given before an immense piece of rock fell, which, passing one terrace, lighted upon the next below it, where several men were busily engaged. Being taken so unexpectedly the means of escape were in a manner cut off. One block of stone, probably five tons in weight, struck a poor man down, shattering him in a most awful manner ; his heart was found entire about five yards from the body, and when seen first actually palpitated ; an arm likewise was literally cut off 1 and thrown from the body. His shattered frame presented a most awful spectacle. A little lad who was working about three yards from the deceased, escaped in a miraculous manner. Seeing the rock falling he attempted to escape, but before he had taken two steps he fell, and there he lay amid the falling stones, sustaining no further injury than that occasioned by the fall. Another person stood uninjured on the very edge of the same terrace; a small stone would have been sufficient to hurl him over the precipice, but providentially they all passed him. An eye-witness of this fearful occur rence says that so convinced was he of the deaths of many that he shuddered and closed his eyes, but opened them to see the blo'id o f th e d ecease d de scending Hite rain upon the terrace of rock below. Three men who were suspended by ropes were in The most imminent danger; fragments of the rock fell over their heads, and had the ropes by which they hung been cut by the falling rock their deaths, in all probability, would have followed, they being suspended at about 15 yards. The deceased was a native of Denbighshire. Happily he was unmar ried. He was about 45 years old. 1 00 1 i 1 18 i ! ) . 5 ! i ',OIJS. all all 158. 8 100 all 100 all all :a:1 1 5 I 281 THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE BETTING IN BRIDE-LANE. GUILDHALL POLICE-COURT (THIS DAY). Thomas Newcome, Philip Powter, Charles Wales, Alfred Scarratt, and John Valentine Stanley were sum- moned before Sir James Duke, at the instance of the City Solicitor of the City Police, for obstructing one of the high- ways of the City of London—viz., Bride-lane—and thereby creating a nuisance. The latter two, Valentine and Stan- ley, did not answer. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the defendants. Mr. Sleigh said he appeared there that day, instructed by the City Solicitor, to charge the defendants with obstruct ing one of the highways in the City, thereby im peding one of the public thoroirzhfares, and therefore causing a nuisance. The defendants, in company with many others, were in the habit of assem• b]ing in Bride-lane for the purpose of betting on horse racing, but the proceedings were not instituted against them for carrying on their occupation as betting men, be cause this was a free country and any one had the right to do whatever he pleased providing he did not break the law. The obstruction would have been the same had the defen dants assembled for the purpose of disseminating useful information on politics, temperance, or - religion, therefore, the profession of the defendants would not act as a prejudice against them on the present occasion. The learned gentleman then cited several cases as precedents, and amongst these one of them by Lord Tenterden, who decided that any person collecting together a crowd of persons, to the annoyance of his neigh bour, was guilty of creating a nuisance. Another instance of a prosecution for obstructing the highway, was that of a person named Carlyle, in Fleet-street, in which a convic tion took place. He was not instructed to use harsh lan- guage because the gentlemen summoned chose to engage in the speculation of horse-racing; they had a perfect right to enter into any profession they pleased. He would have rejected any instructions to use language prejudicial to the defendants as persons of respectability; but the point he had to submit was that the defendants, by causing a great num- ber of persons to assemble in Bride-lane, did create a nui sance. He therefore on the present occasion proposed to call for the binding over of the defendants to meet the charge at the Sessions. Constable Trim 20, said—On 6th May last I was ap pointed to do duty with another constable (Hooper) in Bride•lane. I had done duty there for eight months pre- vious. I know the whole of the defendants. I first saw Scarratt in Bride-lane on the 4th of July. On the 6th of May, at noon, I saw Newcome, Powter, and Wales, in Bride-lane. There were a great many persons round each of them. They were all separated from each Other. The lane was occupied from about 10 yards from Fleet street to the bottom by the defendants and the persons around them. I have seen as many as 20 persons round each defendant at a time. I have seen as many as 400 persons in the lane, and I should think there was that number present on the day I have mentioned• The defendants were standing there with them betting. Bets were very often made by parties around them. Mr. Metcalfe—You heard them ? Witness—Yes. Examination continued—They moved on when I told them, but the crowd followed them. They did not stand still in opposition to what I said. As the defendants moved the crowd followed, but they did not leave the lane. 'When they made their entries in their books I saw them do so sometimes standing and sometimes walking. Mr. Sleigh—Was the public thoroughfare obstructed ? Witness—lt was. Mr. Sleigh—So much so as to be difficult for passengers who passed through ? Witness—Yes. Very much near the steps at the back of the church. The defendants usually remained in the lane from twelve to two. On Tuesday, the 7th of May, I saw Newcome, Powter, and Wales in the lane. There were others in the lane on that day. I should think on that occasion there were about 500 persons present. The defendants were making bets and talking to people. From about a quarter to one till half-past the crowd is the greatest, so as to make it very difficult for passengers to pass through at all. On Wednesday, the Bth of May, from about 12 o'clock till 20 minutes past one there were between 400 or 500 people there as before, and also on the oth and 10th of May. Scarratt had not been there " making a book" until the 4th of July, and was with the other de fendants then daily acting as before. Mr. Metcalfe objected to Mr. Sleigh going into the new case in which Searratt was concerned. After a discussion the Alderman decided that the evi dence should proceed, and the witness identified the four defendants as having been in the lane on several days be tween the 4th and 12th of July, On the Bth of July the lane was completely crammed up. People could not get along the pavement. I have been on duty in the lane up to the present time, and speaking generally I have seen the whole of the defendants there. They were engaged making bets. The lane is exceedingly narrow. There is not room for more than one carriage to pass through. I have had many and frequent complaints made to me by the in habitants of the place of the obstruction caused by the crowd. By Mr. Metcalfe—Mr. Hawkes, the builder, has com plained two or three times a week. He lives near the bend. Mr. Thomas, the clergyman of St. Bride's (the Rev. Mr. Marshall), Mr. Jewell, the hotpresser, and Mr. Anderton have also made frequent complaints. I bought the book in which I made the entries about the lane for that purpose. I was sent there by my inspector upon special duty. I have known the bookmakers when they get too many persons round them run away for a few minutes to get rid of the crowd. Inspector Mitchell was not the person who sent me to the lane. I have reported all I saw to an attorney. I don't know why the summons was not taken out before. Between 12 and 2 I should think 20 persons, independent of betting men, go down the lane. There are 27 houses in the street. I have but very seldom seen the defendants on the pavement. Generally they walk in the road. By Mr. Sleigh—l have seen persons I know, not to be betting men, incommoded in passing through the lane. Mr, James Anderton—l am one of the Common Coun cil of Farringdon Without. I have often had occasion to go through Bride-lane, and I should pass through it much more frequently if it were not for the betting men. I always found the lane in a state that was a disgrace to the city of London. Mr. Metcalfe—This is a summons for obstructing the footway—not for betting, so you will please confine your remarks to' that point. By Mr. Sleigh—The lane is quite impassable for females. These proceedings were instituted by resolution of the vestry of St. Bride's. I have frequently made complaints to the police about the state of the lane. Mr. Sleigh—Can you recognise any of the defendants as those frequenting the place. Mr. Anderton—No ; they are no friends of mine. (Laughter.) By Mr. Metcalfe—l consider it a disgrace to the City to allow the lane to remain in such a crowded state. I don't live in the parish, or you may depend I would not have allowed the evil to go on so long. The Rev. C. Marshall—l am vicar of the parish of St. Bride's. I hare had frequent occasions lately of passing through the lane. I have always found the lane unplea sant to pass through owing to the number of persons pre sent. I mean unpleasant because it is not pleasant to be jostled. I mean by " jostled" to be pushed first on one shoulder and then on the other—not being able to walk straight. This has happened hundreds of times. I have complained of the obstruction frequently to the police. ' I have often asked the policeman to make way for me down the lane—the passage being blocked up. I am unacquainted with matters of betting, but I have seen many persons there with books in their hands. On the 6th May I should think I passed through the lane five or six times. The parochial schools are in Bride-lane. About 250 children attend the schools. The building is very near what is called the bend. The children leave at 12, and return at two daily. I have frequently seen the men opposite the school door. the e c r h e u a r c r h e generally occupies ll,letcalfe7;sl'huentoil 1 o ccasio ,c n l a o l ck du d t y of p T r h a e y r e e rs i s n da o il t y w i h n a tth is e called full ervanscltiheeeydcaonilyc about . ud el 2. Mr. Robert Hawk es, builder, of Bride-lane, said-;-Since the 6th of May, exceptingThe crowd be Sunday, gins tthe plabecomece h inconvenient be en very muc h crowded. in the spring of the year. In the winter nobody comes there. During the racing season the lane is crowded by persons betting on horse races, receiving and paying money, making entries in their books, and talking about horses. Mr. Metcalfe—l suppose Kettledrum would be one of the horses talked about. Witness —I saw some of the defendants present on the occasions 1 have referred to. Mr. Metcalfe—Yes, paying money. Mr. Sleigh—l did not say they did not. No doubt they are all honourable men. Examination continued—l have had to complain to the police of the crowded state of the lane. I have seen per sons compelled to struggle through the ct owd in order to get to their residences. I have measured the lane, and computing two persons to the square yard, I have seen, I should - think, between 600 and 700 • -- persons there in one day during the present month. By Mr. Metcalfe—l have seen ladies with crinolines there struggling to get through the lane. I have 80A what are called " lists" posted in the window of the Suhda/ Times office. I don't think those lists attract the people. I have seen people leave the lane, go and look at those lists, and then return to the lane and recommence betting. My. Sleigh said he had a number of other witnesses, but he th 9 u g ht he hal made out a case quite strong enough to ju s tify their being sent to a higher tribunal for trial. Mr. Metcalfe said no doubt a great deal of evidence had been offered concerning the crowded state of Bride lane, but as far as regarded the defendants very little in fact had been said. The Alderman said the evidence of the police constable was conclusive. Mr. Sleigh—That is all the evidence 1 shall call. Mr. Metcalfe—Then am I to understand that you have given all the evidence you intend to offer against the defen dants. It is' important that they should know what they have to meet ? Mr. Sleigh—l shall only produce corroborative evidence, Mr. Metcalfe—Well, that is what 1 should like to hoar. The Alderman said he thought the evidence of the polio e man important, al he spoke to all the defendants. The case was then adjourned till to-morrow afternoon at three for the production of corroborative evidence. The defendants were then libetated on giving their per , sonel promise to attend again to-morrow afternoon. The court during the proceedings was crowded to excess . TFOL YERHAMPTON RACES.—(This Day.)

The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officers and soldiers, whose claims to the same have been submitted for her Majesty's approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them in China, on the occasion of the assault and capture of the North Taku Fort on the 21st of August, 1860, as recorded against their several names, viz. : Lieutenant (now Captain) Robert Montresor Rogers, 44th Regiment (now of the 90th Regiment), Private John M‘Dougall, ',44th Regiment, and Lieut. Edmund Henry Lenon, 67th Regiment—For distinguished gallantry in swimming the ditches and entering the North Taku Fort by an embrasure during the assault. They were the first •of the English established on the walls of the fort, which they entered in the order in which their names are here re corded, each one being assisted by the others to mount the embrasure. Lieutenant (now Captain) Nathaniel Burslom, 67th Re iment (now of the 60th Regiment), and Private Thomas Lane, 67th Regiment—For distinguished gallantry i n swimming the ditches of the North Taku Fort, and perse- . vering in attempting during the assautt, and before the. entrance of the fort had been effected by any one, to en large an opening in the wall, through which they even tually entered, and, in doing so, were both severely wounded. Ensign (now Lieutenant) John Worthy Chaplin, 67th Regiment (now of the 100th Regiment)—For distinguished gallantry at the North Taku Fort. This officer was carry ing the Queen's Colour of the regiment, and first planted the colours on the breach made by the storming party, assisted by Private Lane, of the 67th Regiment, and subse quently on the cavalier of the Fort, which he was the first to mount. In doing this, he was severely wounded. Hospital Apprentice Ar:hur Fitzgibbon, Indian Medical Establishment--For having behaved with great coolness and courage at the capture of the North Taku Fort on the 21st Aug., 1860. On the morning of that day he accom panied a wing of the 67th Regiment, when it took up a position within 500 yards of the Fort. Having; quitted cover, he proceeded, under a very heavy fire, to attend to a dhoolie bearer, whose wound he had been directed to bind up; and, while the regiment was advanc ing under the enemy's fire, he ran across the open to attend to another wounded man, in doing which he was himself severely wounded.
