COURT OF EXCHEQUER. OLD COURT. (Before Baron Channell.) UNWHOLESOME FOOD. •Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.: lIATCII V. LEWIS. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Hatch against Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, the attorneys, for alleged negli gence in conducting his defence, at the Central Crimina Court, on the occasion of his trial, on an indictment for in decently assaulting two children, named Eugenie and Stephanie Plummer, who had been placed under his care for their education. Mr. Hatch, at the period referred to, occu pied the position of chaplain of the Wandsworth House of Correction, and the result of the trial was that he was found guilty on both indictments, and sentenced by Baron Bramwell to 4 years' imprisonment. Mr. Hatch afterwards indicted the elder girl Plummer for perjury, when the jury found her guilty, and she was accordingly taken into custody, and Mr. Hatch was liberated from prison. The charge against Messrs. Lewis was, that they had omitted to call certain witnesses who were in attendance on the first trial, and in consequence of such omission Mr. Hatch was found guilty. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Damages were laid at £5,000. Mr. Montague Chambers appeared for the plaintiff, and Sergeant Shee was for the defendants. George Jones, a butcher, was indicted for exposing for sale in Newgate-market a quantity of meat quite unfit for human food. The jury, after hearing the evidence, found the prisoner guilty. His Lordship said there were circumstances in the case which induced him to deal with it very leniently. He therefore only sentenced him to two months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. . (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) RAPE AND ASSAULT. Delobe, the black man, and Mary Sullivan, his paramour, were placed at the bar this morning to receive sentence, they having yesterday pleaded guilty to two indictments charging them with rape and assault. His lordship sentenced both prisoners to fifteen years' penal servitude. This closed the business of the sessions. It will be recollected that, on Friday, Feb. 1, Mr. Mon tague Chambers opened the case on behalf of Mr. Hatch in a very long speech, in which he detailed the whole •f the facts of the case, and at the close of the learned gentleman's remarks the. Lord Chief Baron wished that another judge (Baron Martin) migh proceed with the case, as he (the Lord Chief Baron) had but a few days previous to the trial recovered from a severe indisposition. Mr. Chambers wished, as his lordship had heard his opening speech, that an adjournment might take place, in order to allow his lordship time to prepare him self for the hearing of the case, which he said would occupy a considerable time. The proceedings were ulti mately adjourned until to-day, and this morning at an early hour the court was very much crowded with persons anxious to hear the termination of this very remarkable case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two ATTEMPTED SUICIDES AT THE SERPENTINE. Sarah Ann Stoodley, a middle-aged woman, cook in ser vice, at 5, Hammersmith-terrace, Hammersmith, was charged, before Me. Tyr whitt, with attempting to commit suicide at the Serpentine river, Hyde Park. The prisoner was taken into custody by constable Floyd, 153 A, and on the way to the station-house she told him that her mistress had charged her with doing something she had not done, mad hence the attempt she had made on her life. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her for a week. Ann Samuel, a servant out of place, was next charged with attempting to destroy her life by drowning in the Ser pentine, On the cause of "Hatch against Lewis" being called on by the officer of the court, When taken out of the Serpentine, by Parsons, the head boatman of the Royal Humane Society, she told him that she was in great distress and had no home, and that she was induced in consequence to make the attempt on her life. Mr. Tyrwhitt also remanded her for a week. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., who appeared for Mr. Hatch, said he hal received a personal communication from Ser geant Shee asking him to allow the case to stand over for a short time. He at once said he should have no objection if it was for the convenience of his learned friend ; at the same time he had informed him that he could not consent to any delay which would prejudice his client. At a con • sultation, yesterday, he asked his client whether any arrangement hail been made for postponing the case, and that not having been done in the proper way he was present that day to proceed with the case. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Our market to •day was but moderately supplied with beasts. Prime beasts commanded a steady sale at last Monday's prices. Otherwise the beef trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Down and half-bred sheep were scarce and in request at extreme quotations, but long-woolled sheep were a dull inquiry at previous currencies. Lambs were in moderate supply and sluggish request on former terms. Prima small calves were firm in price. Inferior calves, however, ruled somewhat heavy. Pigs and milch cows realised quite Monday's quotations. Mr. Lewis, the attorney and defendant, said his counsel, Sergeant Shee, informed him he had had a consultation with the learned sergeant, and also with his lordship, and was - told there was no objection on the part of the Court or the other side to a short postponement. He (defendant) at once said there were others to be consulted, namely, the jury. He imme diately had a dozen letters written from his office, and posted before 5 o'clock, directed to the gentlemen serving on the jury, and he supposed they were delivered last night. The Lord Chief Baron sa'd he certainly was applied to to postpone the trial ; and what he said was, that he should have no objection provided both sides agreed. He thought he ( ught to have had notice of the postponement of the case, as he had come down specially to try the case. Mr. M. Chambers said h e inf orme d S er j ean t Shee that his client must take such steps as were necessary to com municate regularly with the jury and others to prevent in convenience.

The Lord Chief Baron said it was a most irregular and improper mode of conducting business. The communicat ing with the jury by letters passing through the post-office was not respectful either to the Court or jury. Mr. Lewis told his lordship the statement made to him was that a communication had been made to his lordship as to a postponement, and that there was no objection. s. d. S. d.

Beasts l6O Sheep .. 1,200 Calves Pigs Mr. Sergeant Shee, who at this moment entered the court, said he understood there would be no objection to a postponement, and that he would explain the reasons that had led to the application. He bad for five or six days been engaged in the Divorce and Probate Court in a very important case, and he had to maka his reply to the Court that morning. Under those circumstances, it was impos sible he could attend before his lordship in that court; and therefore he had asked, and thought he had obtained, his lordship's leave to ascertain whether the case could not be postponed. MEAT MARKETS. NEIVGATE AND LEADENHALL.—The supplies of meat are only moderate, and the trade generally rules steady, as follows : Beef, from 3s Od to 4s 6d 1 • mutton, 38 8d to 5s Od ; lamb, 5s 8d to 6s 8d ; veal, 4s 4d to 5s 2d ; pork, 48 Od to 5s 4d per 81bs. by the carcase. SOUTHALL, May B.—There was a moderate supply of fat stock on ofer in to-day's market, and trade ruled steady, as follows : Beef, 3s 8d to 4s 10d , mutton, 4s Od to 5s Od ; lamb, 6s 4d to 7s 2d ; veal, 4s 8d to 5s 6d ; pork, 4s 4d to 5s Od per Sibs to sink the offal. ROMFORD, May B.—Prime beasts and sheep sold readily at very full prices, but other kinds of stock were a dull in quiry. Beef, ' from 3s 6d to 5s • mutton, 3s 10d to 5s 2d ; lamb, 6s 6(1 to 7s 4d ; veal, 4s Btl to 5s 4d ; and pork, 4s 6d to 5s Od per 81bs ; suckling calves, 18s to 24s ; quarter old store pigs, 24s to 30s each; and milch cows, £l4 Os to £l9 Os each. The Lord Chic f Baron thought tie case must be post poned until to-morrow. Mr. Lewis said tha public officer refused to take the notice •f postponement when he offered it to him. The Lord Chief Baron—The officer did quite right, and the defendant must know very little as to the mode of con ducting business in the • superior courts if he thought the officer ought to have received his notice. He did not sup pose the defendant thought an attorney had a right to go and put off a case, by merely telling the officers of the Court that it was postponed. The consent of the attorney for the other side ought to have been obtained in writing, and the Court and jury would have been informed of the arrangement in the regular way, and then no inconveni ence would have been occasioned to any one. A Juror said he had been kept in town for a long time to try this case at great inconvenience, as he wished to go abroad. The postponement was a great inconvenience to him. The Lord Chief Baron postponed tho case until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, and ordered the defendant to pay any costs to which the parties might have been put to by their attendance that morning. Mr. Lewis asked that the costs might be considered as costs in the cause, as it was not his fault that the plaintiff had been brought into court that moaning. The Lord Chief Baron replied that that was certainly true, but then the plaintiff ought not to have been put to the expense and inconvenience of attending that day. The defendant must pay the expenses he had been put to. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) lONES V. FARLAN. After the jury were sworn and counsel opened the case on both sides, the plaintiff did nct appear to be examined, and it was agreed to withdraw the record on payment of the costs of the day. The action was to recover an account for jewellery, gold, &c., delivered, and for work and labour done, amounting to £l7 ls. 6d. The defendant pleaded that the usual credit allowed had not expired, and paid £1 7s. into court, and as to the balance, never indebted. Record withdrawn. HUNTER Y. SPRATT. This was an action of ejectment. The defendant did not appear. Verdict for the plaintiff. EXPLANATION.—B.

WYLD. This was an action for damages for assault and slander by a servant against his master. It appeared from the opening statement of the plaintiff's counsel, that he had been seven years in defendant's service, who isa mapseller, and exhibitor of the Great Globe, in Leicester-square. Some plates had disappeared from the Great Globe, and the defendant charged the plaintiff with criminal neglect in allowing other persons to rob him, and that he was robbed byhim, whereupon plantiff said he was a liar, and defendant knocked him down and attempted to beat him with a stick. Some of the plates were found afterwards under the floor of the exhibition. Mr. Wyld, by his counsel, withdrew the slanderous words used by him against the plaintiff, as there were no grounds for using them, and the plaintiff's counsel withdrew a juror, and the action was dismissed. WARSSAM V. WINGATE. This was an action for £l6, value of an engine pattern intrusted to defendant to make patterns from, but not re turned. Defendant had returned nine pieces of the value of £2 10s, out of forty not returned. Defendant did not ap pear. The plaintiff was examined, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff's balance, £l3 10s. TATHAM V. WHEELER. This was an action for £22 7s. 2d., for goods sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded the general issue and a set-off for sacks returned as overcharges in the particulars of the account delivered by the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff's solicitor, Mr. Begbey, was examined to show that defendant, after action brought, offered to consent to a Judge's order for £lB 10s. and to pay £lO 6s. and costs, but witness could not_irnprison on this order, as it would be under £2O. The plaintiff proved the delivery of the cement order, and written acknowledgment of the defendant's foreman, Mr. Bloomfield, and that the defendant was not entitled to the set-off claimed by him ; that all set offs were allowed and the balance claimed is now due. Sacks returned after action brougbt £1 2s. His lordship ruled that plaintiff could not recover more than nominal damage—balance £2l is. 2d. The defendant's counsel, in addressing the jury, said that this was an attorney's suit, and the only difference between the parties was whether this account should stand above or below £2O to entitle him to high or low costs. The amount was £23 Is. ; and deduct from it £4 4s. ld. for overcharges and sacks and casks returned, balance due £lB 16s. 2d. without costs, as he ought to have brought this action in the County Court. Of consent, verdict for £2l 75., to pay in a week and costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN RE THE ELECTRO PRINTING COMPANY.

In 1860 there landed at Quebec 10,150 immi grants-2,491 wereEnglish,2,B3llrish, 1,860 Scotch, 1,809 Norwegians, and 725 Germans. About three-fourths of the English and Scotch remained in Canada and about a fifth of the Irish, the rest proceeded on to the United States. But other im migrants arrived by other routes, and the whole statement for the year stands thus : Landed at Quebec, 10,150 ; arrived via United States, 4,829 ; making 15,042, of whom 7,152 pro ceeded to the United States and 7,827 remained in Canada—a larger number than in 1859 by above 1,500. 4,769 of these new comers selected Western Canada to settle in, 614 the Ottawa district, 1,200 Eastern Canada. Although nearly all the Norwe gians proceeded to join their 'large settlements in Illinois and Wisconsin, a small Norwegian settle ment has been established at Gaspe, and it is hoped it will succeed, as the natives of Norway ate by their former habits peculiarly adapted to the cha racter of that part of Canada, which has hitherto been almost rejected by all other European im migrants. Of the German. families who have within the last two years settled on the Upper.Ot.- tawa, 40, who brought with them a capital of only 75 dols. each, together 3,000 dols., have property already of the value of nearly 12,000 dols. A con siderable proportion of the English and Scotch im migrants were farmers, many bringing with them a capital of from £3OO to £l,OOO. The two classes most wanted are female servants and agricultu ral labourers men who can plough and mow and reap, and who understand draining; and such men soon become landowners. During the abundant harvest of last year 2 dols. a day were offered in vain by farmers for labour, and a larger supply will be in request this season, as the farmers are prosperous, and extending their operations, and the general prospects of the province have greatly improved. Of the assisted emigration, 10 youths who arrived from the Wandsworth and Leeds Refor matories were directed up the Ottawa, where they were all immediately employed; and a party of 40 from Lord Palmerston's estates in the county of Sligo, who had been provided with a free passage, being all able young men and women, found imme diate employment in the rulal districts, although the young men had not been accustomed to agri cultural pursuits. It appears that, in spite of rei terated warnings, skilled mechanics and clerks still present themselves in great numbers. It does not seem known that the posts of mercantile life are occupied by the sons of successful immigrant far mers. Mr. Buchanan, the Government chief emigra tion agent, reports at the close of the year :—" The class of people whom we want, and who cannot fail to do well, are those who, having a small amount of capital, are prepared to purchase and settle on our lands, and make homes for themselves in the forest, as the inhabitants of this free and fertile land have done before them ; the hardships to be en countered now are less than they were 26 years ago, when a few thousand people were scattered over - a long frontier of country." With 100 or 200 dollars men can purchase the right of those who make it a business to chop and clear a few acres, erect a loghonse, and sell. The mineral discoveries are attracting_ attention. It will be interesting to watch the effect of the civil war in the United States upon the European emigration of the present year. It is stated that M. Doyen, the sub-Governor of the Bank of France, has left Paris for Constantinople, ac eompanied by an accountantand M. Cousiniery, the Smyrna banker. The object of this mission is to come to an ar rangement with the Greek houses involved by the late failures. A MODERN " FAIR MAID OF PERTH."—Mr. Millais, in filling up a group of those exquisitely drawn figurei; which have rendered his works so very highly valued, some time ago took for a model a little gift, remarkable for her classic fineness of feature, a pupil at the Industrial School at Perth. The painter is about to give the finishing touch to the picture ; and the little " Fair Maid" the other day set out to London, that he may have the benefit of a final sitting before removing the work from his easel.— Edinburgh Courant. MUNIFICENT LAYMEN.—Mr. A. Pryor, of Hy lands, near Chelmsford, has undertaken to build a new church in the neighbouring parish of Widford, entirely at his own cost. The old church, a very dilapidated structure, is in course of demolition. A " school church," erected by Mr. C. Morrison, vice-chairman of the Victoria Dock Company, for the use of the inhabitants of the district which the docks may be said to have created, has just been completed. The building has cost about £2,500. Mr. G. H. Packe, M.P. for South Lincolnshire, has contributed about £l,OOO towards the recently effected restoration of Caythorp Church, near Grantham. With such instances as these of liberality on the part of the wealthy laity, and no doubt many other recent acts of equally munificence might easily be added, the Church of England may take courage for the future. A Mlle. Rivay yesterday brought an action before the Tribunal of Commerce againet Di. Itety, director of the Theatre Lyrique, to compel him to execute an en gagement into which he had entered with her. He r state ment was that, having comp osed an o p er a called " Maitre Palma," which bad been performed a t hi s theatre, without, however , any great su ccess, ho had directed her to prepare a new one, entitled La Croix and had guaranteed he r f or t y represen tations,J comm encing in Blanche," anuary ; but that though she had cosiPosed the opera, he had nev er p r oduced it. To thi s M. Itety answered that th e dramatic censorsh i p h a d •egaly modified the work, and had changed its title to that o f " Gaston." It was, therefore, not the same as that which he had ordered, and ho was on that account not bound to produce it. But the Tribunal finding that, after accepting the opera, he had wilfully delayed the produc tion, ordered him to pay the plaintiff I,ooofr. as damages for the injury she had already sustained ; also to represent the work within a fortnight under pain of paying her a further Eltra of 5,000 fr• IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE, OF LORDS.—(This EVENING.) This being Ascension Day their Lordships did net assemble. HOUSE OF COMMONS:—(Tnis EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the South Shields Improve ments and Quay Bill were considered and agreed t), and the bill was ordered for third reading. The following bills were read a third time and passed :—Banbridge Extension Railway ; Downpatrick and Newry Railway (new title) ; Great Southern and Western Railway (Extension) Bill ; Llandaff and Canton District Markets, :Londonderry and Coleraine Railway, Manchester and Milford Rlilway (Aberystwith Branch), Stockport, Timperley, and Al tricham Junction Railway, Tyne Improvement, Vale of Clywd Railway, Birkenhead Railway, London and North Western Railway (Liverpool Lines), and Cheshire Midland Railway Bills were considered and ordered for third reading. UST. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of the al)oli • tion of church rates; against the Salmon Fisheries (Scot land) Bill; in favour of an alteration in regard to Roman Catholic paupers in workhouses, so as to afford them in creased facilities for the free exercise of their religious duty, and for the education of their children: from inhabi tants of Western Australia, praying that transportation to that colony might not be discontinued ; from inhabitants of Norwich against the pressure of the poor rates under the present Poor Law Removal Act ; in favour of the abolition of the Annuity Tax, Ltc. THE GALWAY CONTRACT. Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the papers moved for with respect to the Galway Con tract will be laid upon the table of the house : if it was true, 1. That even now, after all the extensions of time granted, the Atlantic Royal Mail Company had only one new ship at sea—the Columbia. 2. That that vessel took ten days to steam from Galway to St. John's, Newfoundland, on her first voyage, and afterwards was compelled to put into Hali fax for want of coals. 3. That another new vessel, the Hibernia, had been condemned at Liverpool as un seaworthy. 4. That the Government had allowed the company to employ on the North Atlantic, the ;Parana, an old ship which has been for some time considered unsuitable for the West India service. 5. That it appears from the published accounts that the At lantic Royal Mail Company had lost three-fourths of ita capital. 6. That, under these circumstances, Government did not intend to ask the House of Commons for the vote of £78,000 which appeared in the estimates. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he should be very happy to give all the infor mation it was in his power to supply. With regard to the first question he had only to say that the com pany had only one new ship at sea, namely, the Columbia, but they have employed others with a view to carry out their contract. With respect to the second question, there was no official information on the part of Government, but it had been stated that the vessel in question after leaving Galway did put into Halifax on her first voyage for want of coals. The statement had been con firmed at Lloyds, so that he must answer the questioi in the affirmative. The Hibernia had suffered damage on its voyage from Southampton to Galway, and it had been an nounced at the Admiralty. With reference to the next question he had to state that the Government had not allowed the employment of the Parana: He could give no answer to the other question. The right hon. gentle man subsequently stated that since their answering these questions he had received a report from the company in question which he had not been able to read, and which would be laid before the house. PRIVATEERS. Mr. W. FORSTER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was not a criminal offence against the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act for any subject of her Majesty to serve on board any privateer licensed by the person assuming, as President of the Southern confederacy, to exercise power over a part of the United States, or for any person within her Majesty's domi nions to assist in the equipment of such privateer ; and, if so, whether he will take measures to prevent, the infringe ment of the law, either by her Majesty's subjects or by any agents of the President of the Southern confederacy who are now ,in England, and also whether any such pri vateer, equipped in a part of her Majesty's dominions wilt not be liable to forfeiture. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the principle of our law waa that the subjects of her Majesty should not enter into the ser vice of any State at war with a State with which we were at peace. Her Majesty's Government have considered the case, and would adopt the steps necessary when any case arose that would require their interposition. ALLOWANCES TO WITNESSES. Mr. W. EGERTON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intended to bring in a bill, during the present session, to alter the scale of allowances to witnesses at the assizes and sessions. Sir 0. C. LEWIS said he had already stated he would bring in a bill to amend the law on the subject. GOVERNMENT LOANS. Mr. R. LONG asked the First Lord of the :Treasury what proportion of the Fortifications loan the Government proposed to borrow during the ensuing financial year. Lord PALMERSTON said it was impossible to answer the question at present, but if there were any alterations to be made in the present estimates it would of necessity be communicated to the house. PRINCESS ALICE'S ANNUITY BILL. This bill went through committee. THE DISTURBANCES IN AMERICA. On the motion for going into committee of supply on ways and means, _ _ _ Mr. BENTII4CK asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in consequence of what was taking place iirAme rica any increase in naval and military expenditure of this country would be rendered necessary, and whether, incon sequence of the probable deficiency in the cotton supply, the customs and duties would not be injuriously affected Mr. CRAWFORD said he believed the panic relative to cotton originated merely in the rumours of the &Atm market. - 14;:bISRAELI said that it was not intended at his aide of the house to offer any opposition to passing the resolu tions proposed to the house on the 7th of this month, pro vided an early day Was found for introducing the bill founded on these financial resolutions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he proposed to bring in this bill on Monday next. nnoatvta thi nk and that t it a a n ry y Lord PALMERST ON said he did not cons id er th at the events which unfo r t una t e ly were t a king place in Am er i ca establishments ldlisnmeceenstssitoaftethaisncoy country ll rea . sein e did the diminution in the customs and excise duties by the events alluded o would occao. WAYS AND MEANS. The resolutions in committee of ways and means were reported and agreed to. THE PAPER DUTY. On the motion for going into committee of Ways and Means, Sir J. NORTHCOTE strongly condemned the policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his proposed abolition of the paper duty, which he contended was not justified by the demands of the country or the state of the national finances. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the proposed abolition on the same grounds which he had already urged in support of this measure. He contended that the opposition to the proposed abolition was based on an entire misapprehension of the question. Mr. DISRAELI supported the views of Sir S. Northcote, and complained that the explanations afforded by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer were unsatisfactory Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, before proceeding to further legislation in respect to the customs duty on foreign paper, he would consent to the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the operation and effect of the system of export duties on foreign rags upon the paper-making trade of Great Britain and Ireland After a few words from Mr. NORRIS, Mr. NEWDEG ATE opposed the remission of this duty, which, however beneficial it might prove in regard to the interest of the cotton spinner, would be merely infinitesimal as regarded the trade, which was now so much depressed . For instance, six pieces of ribbon, of 36 yards 3 inches, would cost £8 25., and the cost of the paper for packing it was only threepence. He entered into different d e t a il s i n s upport of his views. He dissented from the statements of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer entirely in regard to the operation of the aboliti on of this duty, which wou ld utterly fail in realising the ad vantages which the right hon gentleman predicted, [LEFT SPEAMING.] THE PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2i per mule prom; and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 vs. loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3 -10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. • BY a dvices 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 he same pris e in L on d on as i n H am burg.

Andrews, a native of Braintree, in Essex, on Saturday last, performed the astonishing feat of walking or running 83 miles on a road having several nasty hills to trouble the pedestrian. The path to be traversed was from Sudbury to Bury, in Suffolk, a distance of 161 miles, and this had to be covered five times.
