MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL Ikrinr:ILLIGENC2I CITY, Two o'CLoo-t. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, with a smaller supply. The sales were 10,000 bales (2,000 for export and 1,000 on specu lation), comprising 140 Pernam and Maranham, at 6Zd to 7d. ; 260 Bahia, 6 7-16 d ; 300 Egyptian, 60. to 9d. ; 1,500 Surat, 4kd. to 4;d.; and 50 Sea Islands, 11d. to ls. Old. per lb. The Share Market was quiet, and prices were a shade higher than ou Saturday. Accounts from the Continental Wool Markets show a continued steadiness in prices, with a de crease in transactions in those markets where the pressing wants of the manufacturers have been sup plied. In Champagne and Burgundy washed wools have been in request ; and at Brie, 8.7 c., wools in grease have been easily sold at If. 20c. to if. 30c. per half•kilogramme. At Chalon-sur- Marne the prices are now about the same as they were last year at this date, and the sales have de creased from 25,000 and 30,000 kilos. to 12,000 and 15,000 per day. Fine lamb's wool is in de mand at sf. to sf. 40c. per kilo. 'At Marseilles the market has been very quiet, which is generally the case after the closing of the fair at Beaucaire. The manufacturers generally have not bought ex tensively, with the expectation of lower prices ; consequently, it is supposed they will make further purchases as the season advances, and thereby give an impetus to trade. The prices of imported wools are as follows :—Marne, in grease, from 85f. to 122 if. per centner ; Tunis, ditto, 721 f. to 75f. ; and Syrian washed wools., 125 f. The imports of the week include 120 bales from Algeria, 311 Mazagan, 361 Buenos Ayres, 234 Constantinople, and 344 from Salonica. The Directors of the Riga Railway Company have issued a circular, from which we take the following extracts : "The Directors beg to announce that baying had the draft of the proposed statutes of the company settled by counsel in London, they are now in a position to present them to the imperial Ru.sian Government for confirma tion ; at which time, according to the laws of Russia, the caution money of 51. per cent. on the proposed capital must be lodged. _ _ "The Directors therefore hereby give notice that the call of 41. per share, formerly annGunced, will be now required for the purpose of this deposit. "The directors take this opportunity of informing the shareholders, that, in consequence of the numerous reports respecting the guarantees by the Imperial Rus sian Government, they have laid the papers before an eminent counsel in Lond o n who is of opinion that the language o f th e Imperial edict of 1853 has not the effect of guaranteeing interest, at the rate of 41. per cent. on a fixed capital of 12 millions of silver roubles ; but he does not entertain any doubt that it does guarantee interest at 41. per cent. on the capital, which will be sanctioned by the Government as required for the com pletion of the undertaking (tncluding 41. per cent. fur in terest during the construction of the railway), and an additional half per cent. for a sinking fund. "From the negotiations, however, which have been lately carried on, and are now on the point of being concluded, the directors fe e l warr a n ted in expressing a hope that the final arrangements will be such as to in sure the attainment substantially of the advantages set forth in the Prospectus ; nor can there he any reason able doubt that the nett profits of the railway will con siderahly exceed 5 per cent. on the capital required for its construction, as a concession has already been eranted for an extension of the 'line to the town of Vitepsk, "Mick) is in the direct line of traffic from the most im portant produce-districts of Russia." There was an active demand for discount accom modation in Lombard-street yesterday owing to its being the " fourth" of the month, but the en gagements were generally met with promptitude, and without occasioning much pressure upon the Money Market. The rates have slightly advanced, but they still rule a fraction below the Bank of England minimum. The annual meeting of the General Iron Screw- Collier Company was held this day ; Mr. Hutt in the chair. The report showed that the adoption of steam screw -colliers had been as profitable as ever to this company in the past year—the freights in that period having been, per colliers, 17,6541., and by transports 113,0901., which, with some other items made up 132,5371. 17s. 101, leaving, after the expenditure of the year, a net profit of 3 9,2881. 3s. sd. A dividend was recommended and agreed to at the rate of 101. per cent. per annum. The English Funds continue at about previous quotations, in the absence of extensive dealings or anY political intelligence of an adverse description. The account, which is Bullish, is as previously stat ed, in course of arrangement, and the " contango " has rather increased, being 3 to Per cent.

(This Day.) fighting again, and the prisoner knocked him down and kicked him. The prisoner—lt is no such thipg, that witness set Price on me. The annual meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held this afternoon &t Euston-square Station ; Mr. J. SCOTT in the chair. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that the prisoner was a very respectable young man, who had frequently protected his mother from the violence and outrageous conduct of Price, who had been convicted 20 times for assaulting his wife and others. . The report and the statement of accounts, already published, were deemed satisfactory and were adopted. A dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. was agreed to, and the meeting shortly after terminated. Mr. Yardley said a more perverse and violent man than Price had never come before him, and that he had been compelled to send him to prison continually for assaults. He had no doubt that it would turn out that Price was the aggressor. _ _ LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) The prisoner said, that was go. He left 6/. for the support of his mother and sister while he was out in the Crimea with the Army Works Corp?, and his step father lived on the money a,nd would do no work. Yesterday Price commenced beating his mother, and he (the priso ner) in protecting her, beat his mother's husband, and would do so again if he saw his mother Roche—Price is an excellent tradesman, but he will not work while he can live on the industry of his son•is• law. COU ff,T OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE C. .T. MARE. A meeting was held under the estate of this bankrupt, the well known ship-builder, at Blackwell. The meeting was held to take into consideration a proposition under the 230th section of the act to effect a composition, but since the meeting was advertised in the Gazette, a sale of a portion of the property has taken place, in conse quence of which, a notice was inserted in' some of the daily papers, signed by Messrs. Linklater, the solici tors to the bankrupt, that the present meeting would not be held. This notice, however, was not considered sufficient, and Mr. Lawrance, the solicitor for the assig nees, and several of the creditors, wera in attendance. The original object of the meeting, of course, could not be carried out, and a discussion ensued as to costs, &c. Mr. Yardley liberated the pri,oner on bail until Tuesday next. SOUTHWARK. COWARDLY ASSAULT ON A WIFE BY HES HUSBAND. —THE EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESS.-Ba.muel Deuch, a corn porter, who trembled much from excessive drink ing, was brought up charged with committing a cowardly assault on Jane Deuch, his wife. The complainant, a decent-looking female, said she had been married to the prisoner seventeen years, and he gained a very good living as a corn porter, but he expended nearly all his money in drink, leaving her and her three children nearly de3titute. For the last fourteen months be had been continually drunk—in fact she believed he had not been sober a moment during that period. They had lodgings at 2t3, York-street, Blackfriar;-road, and his disgraceful conduct was an annoyance to all the neighbourhood, as he was continually ill using her. The Magistrate asked her when was the last time be ill used her, and she reluctantly replied that on Sunday afternoon he came home drunk, and, without any pro vocation, knocked her down. He endeavoured to push her down stairs amidst the screams of the children, but fortunately her landlord came to her assistance and pre vented him. He was mad drunk, and she was compelled to call in the police for her protection. Edward Page, the landlord of the house in which the prisoner and his wife lodged, raid that whenever her husband came borne he was drunk, and then he beat and knocked her about. On Sunday he heart her cry out "murder," and the children scream out, which induced witness to go up to her protection. He (the defendant) was so intoxicated that he was compelled to send for a constable and give him into custody. The Magistrate asked the woman whether her hus band ever used her with great violence ? His Honour ultimately decided on adjourning all question°, for the decision of Mr. Commissioner Hol royd, on his return after his vacation. No further meeting to be advertised without permis sion of the Court, and notice of any intention to apply to be given to the opposing creditors. His Honour was occupied during the remainder of the morning at a private meeting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day. BOW-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A CHILD--This morn ing a little giri, whose head just appeared above the dock, named Mary Ann Stevens, aged 12 years, was charged before Mr. Henry with robbery under the fol lowing circumstances : Mrs. Ann Knowles deposed that a few days ago she arrived in London from Hampton Court and proceeded to the lodgings of her husband, whose occupation ren dered it necessary for him to reside during the week days in London, at 15, King-street, Long-acre, and having put clean linen on the bed she locked the door of the room, which was on the third floor, and left the place, but before doing so she opened the window to admit the fresh air. On her return she was infot med of the rob bery of the place, and the articles, now produced, a sheet and a bundle c tntaioing the remnants of another, she identified as her property. She replied in the negative. She did not wish to send him to prison. All she required was protection from his violence. She believed if he was bound over he would reform his habit. A police-constable said that from information he bad received he proceeded to the prosecutor's house, 15, King-street, Long-acre, and having reached the top of the house he saw the prisoner look through the trapdoor and drop the bundle produced. He did not see the robbery committed, but he had been over the place where the prisoner was seen to walk, and the wonder was that the child had not been dashed to pieces. The prisoner declared that he would join the Tee totallers directly ho got his liberty, and he would never injure his wife again. ThAlagistrate said had it not been for the wife's in tercession, he would have sent bitu to prison for a long period, but as it was he must find two sureties to keep the peace for six months. A woman named Blake stated that yesterday, from the window of her apartment in Sllort'e-gardens, she saw the child get out of the attic window of No. 15, King street, and walk along the parapet and enter the window of the adjoining house. She was exceedingly alarmed at the appearance cif the child,'and every moment she ex pected to see her full into the yard beneath. Her alarm was farther increased when she saw her climb over the party wall of No. 16, which was considerably higher than that of No. 15. Having reached the roof she saw her enter the window of a room occupied by prose cutor. In a few minutes she again appeared at the win dow, having a bundle in her hand, and then she pro ceeded to retrace her stops to the window of No. 16. On arriving at the party wall she dropped the bundle over and then proceeded to let herself down, but in doing so she slipped, but fortunately fell against the side of the house. The scene was so terrific that she (witness) felt it impossible to leave the place were she was standing, and she was afraid of alarming the place, as the effect of one false step by the child would have consigned her to instant death. In t e course of her return along the parapet she twice fell against the roof of the house, and on reaching the roof of No. 16, she proceeded to a hole and there hid the buadle. Mr. Henry here ordered the child to be placed upon a stool in the dock, and Raid it appeared almost incredible that a child so young could commit such an act. The worthy magistrate then asked the child what she had to say in anwer to the charge. The girl remained silent, and began to cry. MARKET NEWS.—(Ms Day.) HAY MA.ItKETS.

The mother of the prisoner there came forward, and stated that the prisoner was the eldest of her four children, and that being obliged to leave home yester day she locked her apartments and then proceeded to her work. The child had, unfortunately, fallen into vicious habits, and she had done all she could to break her off them. She did not allow her to run the streets, and the only way she had of preventing her from doing so was to lock her in the room when she (the mother) was compelled to be from home. Such was the unfor• tunate girl's love for sweetmeats that she had frequently torn the skirts of her brothers and sisters into rags, in order to sell them for a halfpenny to procure them. She bad done all that laid in her power to keep her from bad companions. The poor woman, with tears in her eyes, imploringly asked the magistrate to do something to save her poor child. Mr. Henry (to the mother)—Has she ever been in prison ?. The Mother—Oh, no d sir. Mr. Henry said such a case as the present was ex ceedingly difficult to deal with. He would remand the child for a week, and in the meantime consider what could be done in the case. MANSION -HOUSE. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —Three young girls, named Neac Jones, and Welch, were placed at the bar before Sir G. Carroll, charged with highway robbery. Edward Palmer deposed that about 12 o'clock last night he was walking along Tower-street with a friend, who was not particularly sober, when the prisoners came up to them and asked to be treated. His friend con sented, and they all went to a public-house, where be treated them with half a pint of gin and a pot of beer. Witness after that wished to leave, and led his friend away, but the prisoners followed them and endeavoured to dissuade him from doing so, but to accompany them, and a struggle ensued between witness and the prisoners because his friend had no desire to go with the women. The prisoners shortly after desisted and left, and then witness discovered his watch and gold guard had been stoien, and his friend also discovered that be had been robbed of his handkerchief, 165., and a foreign coin. They followed the prisoners, and saw them enter a court in the Minories, when they called a policeman, who went into the court and apprehended them. The friend of the last witness identified the hand kerchief and foreign coin produced by the police, and corroborated his friend's evidence. Police-constable 647 deposed, that he went after the prisoners at the request of the two last witnesses, and found all three of therm hiding in a water-closet, the door of which he and his brother officer had to break open to get them out. The handkercheif had been thrust down the closet, and was taken out by witness. Nothing bad been heard or seen of the watch and guard. Sir G. Carroll asked if the prisoners were known. The policeman said they were all prostitutes. The prisoners indignantly denied the imputation. Sir G. Carroll then sentenced the prisoners to six weeks' imprisonment, with bard labour.

FOR BRIGHTON, 110 "'fiat niP.n is a fool who at the sight of the bond dances and leaps ; then is the true jOy when the money comes." lam not clever at quotations ; but, if my memory serves me aright, Massiuger puts those words into the mouth of one of his characters. The sentiment which it expresses must frequently have been shared in by turfites, for its truth receives illustration every settling-day. Bookmakers generally found their week's work at Good ?good profitable enough, and doubtless on paper their balance-sheets looked well. The day of reckoning, however, came yesterday, when even the largest winners presented grave faces and blank looks. Money was what they call in the City " light," and no wonder that complaints and grumblings were frequently heard. Mr. Dolling as usual has issued a most attractive pro gramme for Brighton—the "ever gay and ever gaudy, like a Harlequin's, jacket." The town is already filled with turfites, and the sport in Sussex is likely to be mer rily wound up. Still small fields may bo calculated upon with some certainty, because the hard ground at Good. wood "found out" many tender footed ones, whilst others have been "run through." Still business and pleasure will be agreeably combined. The railway au thGritie4 as usual have made ample arrangements for the conveyance of visitors, and really the courteous secretary, Mr. F. Slight, and the active manager, Mr. Hawkins, deserve a vote of thanks from the sporting community, for the desire which they ever evince to provide travel. ling facilities. Twelve events are appointed for decision on Wednes day and Thursday. Friday will be devoted to the Club races, but the scarcity of gentlemen riders will in a great measure mar their success. The Brighton Stakes seems, in reality, a "good thing" for the Cletneutina gelding, who, some people assert, would have won the Goodwood Cup, if the " vicar" bad made more use of him. Quince and Termagant appear to be the only other animals that have a chance. The former is raid to be in capital condition. Still, although I am "tickled with the straw" of Lord Clifden, yet I am induced to piace my confidence in Termagant, whose parformaLce for the Chesterfield Cup indicated considerable racing merit. Aleppo will win the Biennial Stakes. lam puzzled to select a champion for the Marine Plate, because it is impossible even to guess what horses will have their numbers displayed on the telegraph boards. New Brighton, with all his weight, is the most trustworthy. Of the three-year-olds, I prefer Astrologus. Martinet may be capable of repeating his Goodwood victory for the Nursery Plate. In his default I shall expect either Tinwald or Bannockburn to win. The Cup will perhaps be carried off by the Clementina gelding, who, should Saraband be absent, will have only a lot of " crocks" to oppose. Amongst the nominations for the Biennial Stakes, for two-year-olds, are the high• price Commotion and the " dark " Blue Jacket. The former may be ‘Aithdrawn. Blue Jacket, who is reported to be many pounds better than Tinwald and Tourna ment, may, therefore, make his first appearance in pub lic with success. Coroner will win the Champagne Stakes. Accounts respecting the injured jockeys are favour able. This evening I intend to " run over from Brigh ton to Chichester," in order to make a personal visit to the Infirmary. August 5. A FRESH MAN. Naval and Military intelligence. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAT.—WO much regret, to state that a most mutinous spirit was evinced last evening by the Moines belonging to the Caviar, 91, screw, Captain 1101,1), now in the steam basin-dock. It appears that many of those on board aro young hands, and not the best of cha racters, and it may be that they have some grounds for complaint. The Caesar has been docked with hor crew on board. The present regulations of the dockyard aro pe remptory as to "no smoking being allowed." Now, this is a little hard. Now, " Jack in the jolly" would rather go without Lis middle-day feed than go without his " baccy." We cannot sea why a certain p or ti on o f the ship . . . should not be set apart, at proper hours, with a sentry and police-officer, and let the crew have their half-hour's smoke; all danger would thus be prevented, and much cause of grievance done away with. s In this instance the mai ices have behaved very badly; they have lost caste; their conduct was insulting and mutinous to their officers and the captain of the ship. They commenced throwing shot about the d,ck, broke their mess-traps, and shouted more like maniacs than men belonging to the long honoured corps of Royal Marines. This riotous disposition manifested itself soon after dinner time, and continued the whole afternoon. By some means also—for women cannot be searched at the dockyard .gates—some vile spirits were introduced in skins, which completed the mischief. At five o'clock the ringleader was put in irons, but this was of little avail. Between ten and eleven o'clock the commander-in-chief, Vico-Admiral Sir George Seymour, and the Rear-Admiral Superinten dent Martin, went on board, and endeavoured to bring the marines to a sense of their duty, kindly asking them what they had to complain of, yet firmly telling them that dis cipline must be observed at all haz trds. The serjeant of marines, who has been in the corps upwards of 16 years, stated that they wero the worst lot of men he had ever had to do with ; and so refractory had they become that ho could do nothing with them. At twelve o'clock the admi ral thought it necessary to send to the Royal Marine Ar tillery Barracks for assistance; and, somewhat to the alarm of the inhabitants, at between one and two o'clock (midnight), 200 men belonging to the Royal Artillery were marched into the dockyard. The knowledge of this imposing force brought against them produced its effect, and the ringleaders were ironed and conveyed on board the Victory. They had threatened to break through the gates, scale tho walls, and do any amount of mischief All is quiet to-day, but se'atries are posted all round the ship and at the cross bridge. The Caasar will come out of dock this night at ten o'clock, and be towed to Spithead to-morrow morning. Rhadamanthus, 2, paddle store-ship, arrived this morn ing with boilers and machinery from Woolwich, and came into harbour to discharge the same. Dodd, steam transport, No. 221, Capt. Hansen, arrived last night at Spithead, having left Balaklava July 5 ; Con stantinople, 8 ; Malta, 15; Gibraltar, 22 ; Cadiz, 26. She has brought home S officers and 166 men belonging to the I Land Transport Corps, and 110 horses. They commenced 1 disembarking this evening in good order. The Royal yacht, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, went down to Portland this morning, having his Royal Highness Prince Albert on board. Sprightly tender, Master Commander George Allen, will proceed to Cowes to-morrow to receive on board the depot of tho 77th, and convey them to Southampton, ea route to Aldershot. The British German Legion, which arrived in the Him alaya, have been ordered to Shorncliffo. DETONPORT, Sunday.—Dee, steam store•ship, Thos. C.

SINGULAR CHARGE OP ASSAULT. — noinasM 4 Cormiek, a young man of respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting a man named Price, his step-father, who was stated to have been car ried to ,the London Hospital yesterday evening in an insensible condition from the severe punishment he re ceived from the prisoner. A. certificate was put in by a police constable which stated the wounded man was in a dangerous state and could not leave the hospital. Francis Silby, a mechanic, of No. 7, M organ - s t ree t, St. George-in-the-East, stated that when he came home to dinner yesterday (Monday), he saw William Price quarrelling with his step-son, the prisoner, at the door of his house. Saon afterwards Price came ont of his dwelling with his eyes out, swollen, and bleeding, and upon asking him the cause, he said his son had done it.

One of the most remarkable and instructive books that has of late been presented to the Eng , heir public is the tr3.nslation of the " Life of Perthes," the German bookseller, which has just been brought out by Mr. Constable, of Edinburgh. The following is a family picture of the Rouse of Coburg by au admiring friend "The great wisdom and experience of the Duke, as we have seen, interested Perthes, and his benevolence won him entirely. On his side, the Duke was very par tial to Perthes, and always saw him when at Gotha or Reinhardsbrunnen. The forest and its inhabitants, re collections reaching back as far as 1806, as well 'as the political events of the day, formed the subject of their conversations. But Perthes' peculiar delight was in the young princes. It was in 1836, when the Coburg Princes came to Gotha, in order to conclude the marriage of the Prince Ferdinand Augustus with the Queen ot Portugal that he saw them first. In the January of that year he writes—' A few rays ago I was dining with the old Duchess ; both the princes were there—fine, t.4li, hand some youths, fresh, healthy, and full of spirits, to which they gave free scope as soon as they were out of their grandmother's sight. Prince Ferdinand,- the future King of Portugal, has a noble profile, but he is still a thorough child ; the poor slender fir-tree las to be trans planted to a hot soil ; perhaps his very cbildishnees it, in his favour.' In 1839 Perthes writes : 'Late in the sum mer the ducal household came to Reinhardebrunnen, and with them the Crown Prince from Dresden, and Prince Albert from Italy. There father has good reason to be proud of them both. The ardour, frankness, and hea thy judgment of the Crown Prince delighted me uncom monly; Prince Albert is, without doubt, a highly gifted and thoroughly cultivated young man ; handsome and elegant, courteous and benevolent. His thoughtful, cautious temperament will lessen the difficulties of his future position. We have the Duke of Meiningen, too, and the King of Saxony ; and sometimes no fewer than fourteen princes go out hunting together. These meets irgs between the house of Saxony and the neighbouring princes should oftener take place. Taken together, they are not without significance in German relations, and these wise, restless Cobuigs will tell upon Europe too : they do not, indeed, form any very comprehensive plans, but they know, as few men and princes do, how to seize the passing opportunity, and use the pre4ent moment. They have already secured the thrones of England, Bel gium, and Portugal for their own house, and they have an eye on those of Spain and France as well.' "In 1840 we find Perthes writing : 'The winter months of this year have been trade interesting and ex citing by the chapter of histrry which has been enacted here;; for, at the approach of the English wedding, the Ducal Papa bound the garter round his boy's knee amidst the roar of a hundred and one cannon. The ear nestness and gravity with which the Prince has obeyed this early call to take a European position give hilts dignity and standing in spite ot his youth, and increase the charm of his whole aspect. Queen Victoria will find him the right sort of man, and unless some unlucky fatality interpose, he is sure to become the idol of the English trams, silently to influence the English aristo cracy, and deeply to affect the destinies of Europe. Per haps I may live to see the beginning of this career. "As for your Prince Albert,' writes a friend to Perthes in the an'umn of 1840, ' I have every reason to suppose that you rightly appreciate him and his position in Eng land. Still he can attain to a knowledge of things around-him ' and his relation to them, only after a long residence. The public seem well affected towards him, and in the higher circles he has already some influence; but in order to influence politic, he must be older and more free to act.' Another friend writes : I have not seen the Prince during my stay in London, but I have beard much of him ; he seems to be universally beloved, and I have been often most courteously thanked by Englishmen for the noble return which Germany has wade to England for the Duke of Cuinber.and.' " ACTION AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY. A case of considerable importance to men of business travelling on railways, and the public generally, as also to railway companies, came on for trial before C. .T. Gale, E-ej , judge of the county court of Hampshire, at llieingsioke, on Saturay, the 20th ult. Mr. Malford, a timber-merchant, residing at Greywell, sued the Lon don and South Western itsilwsy Company for the sum of 14e. 91. under the following circumstance's. Oa the Bth of May last, Mr. Melford business to tran sact at Godahning, in surrey, obtained a ticket at the Winclifield station on the Southampton line to go by the up-train to Woking., where be intended to obtain another ticket to go by the down-train from Woking to Godalming, which leaves the former at 11.3 a.m. On the up-train arriving at Winchfield, it was 20 minutes behind its regular time, so that on its arrival at Woking the down-train had left the station and gone on to Go dalming. Mr. Malford's bu laces being pressing, instead of waiting for the next train to take him en to Godal ming, he hired a horse awl chaise, for which he had to pay 14s. 9-1., and which sure he now sought to recover by thia action. These facts b-ing proved on the part of the plain. tiff, and not disputed by the company, Mr. Greenfield, of Winchester, solicitor, who appeared for the corn par,y, contended that they were not liable, inasmuch as the delay was not occasioned by the neglect or miscon duct of the c mpany'e servants, but by causes over which they had no contr.!. The guard of the train who had travellsel with it on the day in question fr on Southamp ton to Waterloo was then called by Mr. Greenfield, who proved that the morning of that day had been very wet, and a strong north east wird prevailed throughout the whole day, so that the driver found it impossible to pro pel the engine (although in good working order) at its proper speed against the combined effects of the wet rails and the strong adverse wind. The driver was in attendance to prove the same. After the guard had given his evidence the learned judge intimated to Mr. King, of Basitig4tolte, solicitor for the plaintiff, that he thought the defence 'Net up by Mr. Greenfield on behalf of the company was a compete answer to the case ; but Mr. King contended that it was the duty of the driver under the c:rcumstances to have put on more steam, or to have telegraphed to the down train at Woking to atop there until the up train arrived. Both of these points, however, were over-ruled by the learned judge, one on the ground that the course suggested might have been attended with danger to the passengers on the up train —the other, that the company bad no right to detain the down train beyond its usual time for starting. He therefore gave judgment for the defendants with mita. —Salisbury Journal. LIABILITY OF HOTEL KEEPEI?S. At the Manchester Court of Record yesterday a new trial took place in the case " Cashell v. Wright." Mr. Wright is the keeper of the Spread Eagle Hotel ; Mr. Richard Cashell, the plaintiff, is a starch manufacturer at Dublin, doing business at Manche-ter, and usually staying at the Spread Eagle Hotel when at Manchester. In June, 1855 he was at Manchester, and put up at the Spread Eagle. In the evening, when in the commercial rooms, he examined his receipts, which were in notes and money, and when he went to bed he left in his coat breast pocket two crossed cheques and a Si. and 101. note—altogether 130/. In his trousers pockets, when he went to bed, he had four sovereigns, and upon his dressing table he placed a very valuable gold lever watch with massive gold chain, and a gold ring. He did not very carefully fasten his bed room door, and his accuunt next morning was that he had left it open, but upon further reflection he said he gave it a push suffi cient to fasten it, supposing the catch to bo good. Dar ring the night the boots let in a man with a small paper parcel, and then went to sleep. This man entered plain tiff's room and stole the watch and guard and the four sovereigns, and was subsequently convicted of the rob bery, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, An action was brought by the plaintiff against the de fendant to recover the amount, 401., in the Manches ttr Court of Record, before Mr. R. B. Armstrong, re corder, when the jury gave a verdict for 251.; but a motion was made in the Queen's Bench for a new trial on the ground of misdirection to the jury, the Recorder having in effect told the jury that the plaintiff was en titled to their verdict, unless he had in his conduct at the hotel been guilty of gross neg'igence. 111 r. Justice Erle gave judgment in favour of a new trial, on the gro und that. the directions to the jury ought to have been that the plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict, if he had used the caution of an ordinarily prudent person. The ease was consequently re-tried yesterday, when the Recorder read Mr. Justice Eve's judgment. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff, damages 30/. ; being 51. more than was given by the first jury. OPE,IVING OF THE OYSTER Sid.SON. Yesterday, the " opening of the oyster season" took place in the ordinary way at Billingsgate, at an early hour in the forenoon. In the unavoidable absence, through sickness, of Mr. John Goldham, the duties of his office were fulfilled by his brother-in-law, Mr. Charles James Hall, ' who was the acting superintendent upon the occasion. The number of boats this year did not average more than 10—the smallest number we ever re member to have seen since we have recorded this annual (Typing of the oyster season. The subjoined are the prices realised, as ascertained fzom the books of the clerk of the market : vo 2 0 rt. bushel. Natives 0 12 0 ditto. Commons 1 4 0 ditto. Pearls There was a very brisk demand, and the cargoes were quickly sold.

Perhaps, however, it may just now be unwise to make any further remarks. We have given the prices of yes terday, the opening day. At another time we may Lay more.
