UNDERWOOD. This was an action to recover a sum for newspapers and periodicals supplied to defendant. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, called his client, who proved supplying quantities of newspapers to defendant. Defendant asked for time, but his Honour said his rule was not to give time when a retail man was supplied by a wholesale man. It was necessary to keep the account clear. Verdict, to be paid at once. THE GREAT NORTHERN COAL COMPANY-CAUTION- HOWELL V. BUTCHER AND SONS. This was an action to recover £2 Bs. paid to defendant for two tons of "best Wallsend coal," under the following important (to the public) circumstances; Mr. W. B. Davie and Mr. Buchanan appearing for the plaintiff : According to the plaintiff's case, he was going down Skinner-street, Snow-hill, and seeing a board up marked "Great Northern Railway Coal Company," thought it was the Great Northern Company, and so ordered two tons of best Wallsend, for which he paid £2 Bs. When the coals were sent in they proved to be so vile that they could hardly be used, and defendant offered £1 back. This plaintiff would not take, and brought the present action. His Honour remarked that there was a Great Northern Company by Mr. Herbert Clarke. Mr. Davie—That is the right man. His Honour—l have dealt with him for 13 years, and once when I ordered some coals, he wrote to me that the price had fallen, and sent them in more cheaply. That's honesty if you like. Defendant said he offered plaintiff £l, because he had aken some trouble. A witness said the coals sent in were more like pieces of slate than anything else. Other people had said they were not worth 16s. a ton. His Honour said, if the coals were good why did defen dant offer plaintiff £1? Mr. Clarke always sent in good coals. NEWMARKET BACES—(This Day.) Defendant admitted that he had nothing to do with the Great Northern Railway Company. His Honour said that frauds were perpetrated on Mr. Clarke, and found fur plaintiff, with costs.

The attendance this afternoon was extremely scanty, the principal members having left town by the midday train yesterday for their Newmarket quarters, and those present got through what little settling there was to transact with great expedition, so as to enable them to catch the 5 p.m. train, and in consequence business upon forthcoming events was entirely confined to the Eastern Counties Handicap, for which some half-dozen animals were backed in earnest, the commission upon each apparently having a wide range. The others quoted were only supported for limited sums. Speculation upon the Cesarewitch was anything but im portant, and was only noticeable from the anxiety of a strong party to back Donner and Blita. His opening price was taken with great eagerness, and towards the close 100 to 6 was offered and freely accepted. La Vapeur also had a host of admirers, who invested freely at 100 to 8.

East Sheen was installed favourite, 10 to 1 being taken and offered ; but Vaga, Maggiore, and Cam perdown had each many friends. There was very little done on the Cambridgeshire. For the Cesarewitch 20 to 1 would have been taken agst Ivanhoff, but 100 to 6 was declined. The Makeless filly was supported to win a few hundred at 20 to 1; but Donner and Blitz and The Rock were most in request, the former finishing at 25 to 1 (taken), and the latter at 33 to 1 (taken).—Closing prices : EASTERN COUNTIE3 RAILWAY HANDICAP. 10 to 1 aga East Sheen (taken and offered) 11 to 1 agst Vaga (taken) 12 to 1 agst Maggiore (taken) 14 to 1 agst Pardalote (offered) 15 to 1 agst Camperdown (taken) 16 to 1 agst Lava (offered) 16 to 1 agst Curlew (taken) 16 to 1 Agst Cosmopolite (offered) 20 to 1 agst Gibraltar (taken) 25 to 1 eget Fravola (taken) CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 14 to 1 agst Asteroid (taken) 16 to 1 agst Donner and Blitz CESAREWITCH STAKES. 14 to 1 agst Asteroid (taken) 16 to 1 agst La Vapour (taken) 16 to 1 agst Paste (taken) 16 to 1 agst Ivanhoff (taken) 20 to 1 agst Makeless filly (taken) 20 to 1 agst Claire (offered—take 25) 20 to 1 agst Umpire (offered) 25 to 1 agst Calpe (offered) 25 to 1 agst Donner and Blitz (taken) 33 to 1 agst The Rock (taken) 40 to 1 agst Emulous gelding (taken) 50 to 1 agst Fisherman (taken) HAYMARKET THEATRE. For some weeks the metropolitan playgoers have been anxiously looking forward to the first appearance of Mr. Edwin Booth, and last night their curiosity was gratified by that gentleman making his bow as Shylock in the " Merchant of Venice." His reoeption was very cordial and encouraging. Mr. Booth is of the medium height, rather slight in figure, with a good eye; he possesses various other personal advantages, and his acting last evening showed that he was by no means devoid of originality of idea. As he was said to belong to the impulsive school of actors, we were by no means surprised at his version of Shakspeare's Jew, and the impression he created was much more favourable than might have been anticipated. In the earlier scenes of the play he appeared rather too anxious to produce some startling effects, but that was no doubt occasioned by the novelty of his position. The well-remembered speech commencing— " Signor Antonio, many a time and oft In the Rialto you have rated me' was delivered with good and marked expression, and nothing could .be better than his ill-concealed hatred of the Christian merchant. His warning to his daughter about the safety of his house was well delivered ; but in the whirl wind of his fury at the desertion of his daughter it must be said he was rather too impetuous and impulsive. His de livery of the lines—" I am a Jew : hath not a Jew eyes ?" &c. down to "If you wrong us shall we not have revenge ?" was exceedingly good and telling. The trial scene was also well given, and as Shylock quitted the stage loud and general applause broke forth from the whole of the audi ence. Mrs. Charles Young's Portia was a very excellent performance—the celebrated " Mercy " speech being given with surprising beauty and effect. Buckstone's Launcelot and Mr. Chippendale's Old (yobbo were fine specimens of genuine comedy, and the audience were not slow in show ing how highly they appreciated their abilities. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Booth was most enthusi astically called for, and on his appearance he was received with the loudest applause. Tho comedy was put upon the stage in very capital style, the whole of the scenery being new and very beauti fully painted. TILLS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

THE " FRIENDS OF LABOUR S OCIETY."—Joseph Leaf, Alfred Buckland, and - M'Kinley, trustees of the Friends of Labour Society, 0 Branch, held at the Carlisle Arms, Queen-street, Soho, were summoned for unlawfully refusing and neglecting to pay to Henry Byrne, he being then and there a full and free member of the society, the sum of £4 6s. 4d., the amount of money invested by him in the society, after 14 days' notice to the secretary of his intention to withdraw. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defendants. It appears that on the 12th of July, 1860, at a general meeting of the society, the defendants were appointed trus tees with the full approbation of the members, it being un derstood at the time that they were not made liable for any debts of the society, it being known at the time that the society was insolvent. On the 4th July, 1861, at a gene ral meeting of the society, three members were appointed auditors for the quarter, their names being—Byrne, the u t c h k e lal o l t d hr members, and was t appointed he terh ew u a complainant, and borrower Ashton m a and ong s ß t defend an a t u s . d ; and at the time Byrne (the compl a i nant) continued to pay back the loan till Sept. 12. He now, how ever, asked to draw his money out after having the loan, the [society being at the present time insolvent in con sequence of a secretary's mismanagement and absconding with the funds, which circumstance he was aware of. It further appeared that the defendants were only in office if possible, to ge th er again. pro tern, in order to get the society, Mr. Lewis took several technical objections, and elicited from the secretary that complainant's demand was £4 6s 4d, and that there was only the sum of £4 6s. id. in hand, and therefore contended that the summons should be dismissed. Complainant stated that some members had been paid. Mr. Beadon thought it sharp practice to pay one and not another, but as it appeared there were not funds sufficient in hand, the trustees could not pay the complainant, and the summons must be dismissed. In the course of the case it appoared that a resolution was passed to the effect that no money should be divided till £2O were in hand. THE ANGLO-FRENCH TREATY. A letter from Paris says :—French manufac turers are making great efforts by reducing the price of their produce to keep possession of the home market, now that on the Ist of October the treaty of commerce with England is about to be carried into full operation. I have already re marked the low price at which cotton goods are offered for sale in the retail houses in Paris. I have since seen some articles of cutlery of French manu facture offered at nearly 50 per cent. less than the price asked six months ago. Porcelain is likewise considerably reduced in price, and the tradesman is no longer confined to the plain white pattern of porcelain or demi-porcelain so well known to travellers in France. Their tables are now supplied with handsome patterns of Wedgwood ware at considerably less cost. The superiority of finish of the English manufactures will always give them a decided advantage in the French market, although, from a fact just communicated to me, it is evident that many unworthy manceuvres will be resorted to in order to exclude them. I have been informed, by a person employed in the paper-staining trade, that patterns of English-stained paper are exhi bited in Paris for which the price demanded is 2f. the rouleau, although the cost price is only 40 cen times, or one-fifth the price demanded. The conse quence is, that purchasers of paperhanging, for which there is a great demand at present, on account of the number of new 'houses being constructed in Paris, are led to believe that the price of English stained paper is exorbitant as compared with French produce. Of course, when the manoeuvre is exposed the effect will cease. THE _FAILURE OF 111 R. NICHOLSON. The circumstances attending the failure of Mr. Nicholson are stated to be very discreditable. He appears to have operated most extensively and reck lessly, without regard to consequences, and princi pally on his own account. In previous settlements, it seems, he secured large profits, but these have again been lost, and now, after exhausting his own resources and those of his friends —for he has borrowed pretty generally—ha leaves heavy differences unadjusted, and disappears without any attempt to make an arrangement. His engagements have included descripti on o f secur it y —C onso l s, almost every India Stock, Midland, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Mercantile Fire, and some of the various mining shares. In the confusion and distrust occasioned by the event the brokers and dealers have not been able to trace the absolute ext en t o f the de fi ciency, but it is well ascertained that it will be large and far above the amount which either the position or the credit of the defaulter should have allowed him to incur. A balance more extensive than anticipated has been attached at his bankers', so that a divi dend will be available, though it is thought not of a respectable character. Instances of irregular proceedings with regard to moneys obtained from his friends and his own clerk are reported, but these may yet be capable of explanation. It is alleged that his relatives are unacquainted with his retreat, the general supposition being that he has crossed the Channel for Boulogne. Although the general features of this case are very discouraging, the consequences will not be so disastrous as those experienced by the default of Mr. A. Cooper. Not withstanding severe losses have been in special in stances made, no one, it is hoped, will be seriously compromised and reduced to the painful alternative of suspending. The operations of Mr. Nicholson have been in favour of a rise ; those of Mr. Cooper were, it will be remembered, for a fall. They have both, to use a technical expression, been "c ut to pieces," although under different phases of business, by adverse markets. The trustworthy members of the Stock Exchange are sorely annoyed at these announcements, which detract greatly from the character of the establishment, and some are tempted to refer to the good old days when competition was less extensive, commissions were more numerous, and the house, as a body, was in a more prosperous position.—Morning Herald. Letters from the provinces allude to the endea vours making by millowners and manufacturers, where they can afford it, to close their establishments, or other wise to shorten time to the lowest possible limit, in order to cope with the altered appearance of the export trade.

THE CHAMPION PLOUGHMEN OF ENGLAND.— The three ploughmen of the great rival plough-makers— Ransoms, Howards, and Hornsby s —have just met at two important matches, " open to all England," the latter of which came off on Saturday at Northampton.

We abridge the following from the Empire of Sydney : Most people whose memory carries them back for a quarter of a century will remember the leading features of an extraordinary crime which took place in Loudon about the commencement of 1837, and which probably excited in the public mind as great a degree of horror as any deed of guilt ever committed in the metropolis. I allude to the murdpr by Greenacre of Mrs. Brown, a woman to whom he was to have been married on the day following that on which he perpetrated the atro cious offence for which he paid the penalty of his worthless life. Some of the circumstances were so horribly grotesque, that no lapse of years can efface them from the memory of those who then became acquainted with them. Greenacre, it was proved at the trial, completely dismembered the body of the unfortunate Mrs. Brown, and after dis posing of the trunk and limbs in various places, actually rode about London in cabs and omnibuses for two or three days with the head under his arm, wrapped in a silk handkerchief, telling those friends and acquaintances who happened to inquire as to the contents of a bundle he seemed so careful of, that it was only a cabbage ! Of the murderer himself, and of the particulars of his trial and execution, I shall here say nothing. The circum stance which I am about to relate has no further connection with him and his history, than that it refers to the ultimate fate of the wretched woman who was his paramour and accomplice, who assisted him, if not in the actual murder, at least to conceal the evidence of it, and who was to have shared the proceeds of his guilt. Sarah Gale, the woman alluded to, became, if possible, an object of greater execration than the murderer himself. She was admitted on the trial to give evidence against him, and by this means to preserve her worthless life for the fate which befel her many years afterwards in the far interior of this country. It will perhaps be necessary to explain that at the time of the murder of Mrs. Brown I was almost a child ; that it was the first crime of horror with the details of which I had ever been made acquainted; and that the im pression left on my youthful mind was of a vivid and painful nature. In the year 1858 I was resid ing in a remote part of this colony. I did not re gularly follow my profession as a means of liveli hood ; the population was much too scattered, and far too healthy, to induce a medical man to remain there. When, however, accident or the usual oc currences of domestic life threw anything in my way, I took advantage of it to help out an other wise not very liberal income ; and by this means became acquainted with facts connected with the dreadful crime alluded to 20 years after it was committed. One morning before daybreak I was aroused from sleep by a heavy knocking at my bedroom window, which looked out into the verandah of my residence. On inquiry I found I was required, at a distance of some sixty miles, to attend a woman who had been thrown from her horse against a tree. The mes senger informed me that if I made haste and could save the patient, I should be handsomely rewarded as she was very rich, having some thou sands of cattle and stations half as big as England itself ; that fresh horses would meet us, and that if I rode well, we could do the distance in something like five hours. This gratuitous information he gave me while hurrying on my clothes. In twenty minutes I was on my way to the Big River, across long and arid plains, with not a tree or a shrub in sight. After a ride of six hours and ten minutes we arrived at the homestead or head station. After running the gauntlet through upwards of a a dozen hungry kangaroo dogs, I reached the pa tient's bed room. On approaching the door I saw the bed directly opposite ; it seemed to contain a huge pile of something in the centre. On going close to the bedside I found my patient to be a woman of vast size and weight—certainly not less than 16 stone, and the heap I bad noticed on my entrance was her very extensive and respectable corpo ration. On examination I found she had suffered both from external and internal injuries to such an extent that I feared the case was hopeless. She turned to look at me. I begged she would not dis- turb herself. " Not disturb myself," she interrupted, " it is easy to say so, but why do you not give me something to relieve this dreadful pain ? Give me something, I pray, or I must go mad." At noon next day a marked change for the worse had taken place. The period had arrived for me to perform an unpleasant duty. I broke the news to the unfortunate woman with as much caution as possible, telling her to prepare for the worst, and to arrange any affairs she might wish to have settled before her final departure from this world. She told me the whole cause of the acci• dent, in a calm, collected manner, and begged I would be kind enough to draw up a will for her, as she informed me the whole of the property was hers, and that she was living with G-, but not legally married to him, therefore she could dis pose of her property as she liked, which she did. The will being finished, I wished her to sign it in my presence, and in that of other witnesses : she had a marked repugnance to do this, which appeared dreadful to her, as a last act. I showed her the necessity of doing so while in the possession of all her faculties,: or before any derangement took place. She refused to sign it but in the presence of two persons, whom she named, her husband a nd my _ _ _ self. I ordered the room to be cleared, and gave her the pen, putting at the same time, the usual questions. She hesitated a long time—there was a stillness that was fearful to me for ten minutes ; at last she sum- moned sufficient resolution to commence, but stopped at the first letter. S. " Oh, wait:a little," she said, "I am thinking, thinking, thinking, of times long past," and as she seemed to be talking more to herself, as it is called, than addressing us, I made no reply. Her husband, who was now sober, witnessed this 'death-bed scene with evident emo Lion. " James," said the woman, "I should like to be alone with the doctor a little while. I have some thing to tell him, but nothing I have to confess that you do not already know." The husband then left. She then told me what I was never, never to tell again. I was at first absolutey paralysed. There, in that remote solitude, did that dying woman reveal facts so dreadful, and so connected with my painfully distinct recollection of by-gone days, that I absolutely shook with agitation. It seemed more like a horrible dream than a waking reality. She recalled me to my senses by her despairing appeals to Heaven for forgiveness. She seemed completely hopeless of pardon. I tried at length to comfort her, and bade her not despair. " How glad I am you are here, doctor; you shall be well paid for all this. Do you know I feel happier now since I have told you all. Oh, if I could have seen a clergyman, but there is none nearer than 150 miles. Too late, too late ! I shall soon be elsewhere. Ah, where ?" I begged of her to sincerely repent of her faults, and seek hope for the future; she clasped her hands together, sighed deeply as though her heart too were oppressed, and she was at a loss for words. She spoke at last with effort and evi dent fatigue. " Call him in," she said. I did her bidding ; in the presence of her husband I gave her the pen ; she gave one look of despair and anguish, signed the will, and I witnessed at once the death and signature of " SARAH GALE." As it was too late to start :for home the same day on which Mrs. G--- died, and to sleep was impos sible, 1 mad a memorandum o f the circumstances an hour or so after her death took place. I have said all that I feel at liberty to divulge of a story which will ever haunt my memory.
