Edwards, lately occupying the Britannia Coffee-house, Britannia street, City-road, was summoned for selling gin without a license. He did not appear. From the evidence of two men, one a porter, and the other Girling, " a commercial traveller," it appeared that on Sunday morning, the 26th of May, they went into the house about one o'clock in the morning, and on proceeding upstairs to the first floor they found about 30 persons drink ing coffee. On leaving the house they asked for some gin, when Ed wards produced a half-pint bottle, and served them with a quartern of gin, for which they charged 6d. They then informed the police of the circumstance. Inspector Bicknell and Sergeant Godwin confirmed the evidence of the preceding witnesses. 11Ir. Henry fined the defendant £lO. James, George, and Hannah Richmoni were also sum moned for the same offence. John Yeomans, a compositor, 172, City-road, said on Sunday morning, the 2d of June, he went, in company with Girling, to No. 34, Blu© Anchor-alley, at about a quarter past eleven, to the prisoners, and there saw the young man George Richmond outside the door, when he asked whether he would " have a drain." He said he woull, and they all three went up stairs, and there they had t quartern of gin, for which they paid 41d., and also a pot of beer, for which sd. was charged. Girling gave evidence to the same effect. Inspector Bicknell said he went to the premises, and there found seven pints of gin, one pint of rum, a large stone bottle which had contained beer, 12 dram glasses, and a quartern measure. All three persons denied the charge. The wife and son were discharged, but the elder defendant was fined £5O for selling spirits and £2O for selling beer without license. John Johnstone, refreshment-house keeper, City-road, was summoned for selling beer without a license. The two witnesses in the case were Yeomans and Girling, and they deposed that they went into the house on Sunday morning, the 9th of June, and there were served with two pint bottles of stout, for which Is. was charged. Inspector Bicknell said he found 22 men and 4 women drinking beer. He found 15 pint pottles of beer and lof ale. Mr. Johnstone said he denied the charge - of selling beer. It was true the beer had been sold in his house, but the circumstances were very peculiar. The beer in question belonged to a gentleman who was lodging in his house, and who was proceeding to India. He was taking a farewell of his friends, and that accounted for the beer being on the premises. The servant girl knew one of the witnesses, and to oblige him, as he told her he was thirsty as he had just come from the theatre, she let have two of the bottles of beer. The money, however, was given to the gentleman who belonged to the property. Mr. Henry said the offence was clearly proved, but ho would mitigate the penalty from £2O to £5. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BRUTAL RUFFIAN.—UNNECESSARY USE OF THE TRIINCHEON.—MichaeI Neal, a fellow having the appear ance of a drayman, was charged with assaulting Mary Carman, of 4, White Hart-court, Windmill-street, Tot tenham-court-road, and also severely injuring an elderly female by breaking her ribs. Complainant, who had a delicate infant in her arms, said she was a distant relation of the prisoner's, and on the previous night she was at prisoner's place, when a female with whom he lived came in, and the prisoner then began making use of bad language. She told him not to do so, when the prisoner struck her a severe blow in the eye, fol lowing it up by striking her a second blow on the head and then aiming a third at her, but which struck the infant she had in her arms. (The complainant and the infant had received severe blows in the eye.) Her mother then got between them, when the prisoner struck her a blow on the head and broke some of her ribs. The prisoner had been drinking. She ran after the prisoner, who tried to make his escape, and she saw him give the constable a severe blow, Nearly knocking him down. Mr. Albert, the agent to the Society for the Protection of Females, said—As the mother of the complainant was unable to attend, if a remand were granted he had no doubt the society would prosecute. John Seath, 30 E, said, hearing a noise in White Hart court, be went up the court, and the prisoner rushed past him, and the woman came up and showed him her eye. He told the prisoner he was given in charge, and he then gave him two deliberate blows, one in the face and the other on the back of his head, and then ran off. Prisoner was caught by another constable, and became violent, and he was obliged to draw his truncheon and strike him on the head. He had made inquiries and found the complainant's mother was very bad that morning. Benjamin Lees, 341 E, said the prisoner tried to kick them, and then Seath struck him. Mr. Mansfieldm did you not seize the man's hands in h ( i you were justified in treat ingthe man had evidently received a a ?t I dotso w S not a e y a t thinkh)h( te i h very severe blow). I should think that when two constables get a man there is no occasion to treat him in such a way. It is a matter that ought to be carefully investigated. I have known cases where a single constable has risked his life without using such violence. Prisoner—Can I see the doctor ? Mr. Mansfield—Yes ; and you will be remanded for the attendance of the injured woman. THAMES. ROBBERY IN A PAWNBROKER'S SHOP.—Ann Smith, aged 36, Sarah Davis, 27, and John Hadfield, 36, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a coat value 305., in the shop of Mr. George Corner, a pawnbroker and salesman in Sidney-place, Commercial-road East. It appeared from the evidence that the three prisoners entered Mr. Corner's shop, and that Davis said he wanted to purchase a coat. Several were shown to him by a sales eesho.loipa, es which sales man named Back in the employ of the prosecut or , an d all this time the women were very busy ta lki ng and look ing a t pulling their coats about, rustling ngs their all female thieves now wear of ample d imensions. The sales man missed a coat, and he charged the prisoners with stealing it. They all very indignantly denied having things in th crinolines done so, and talked about prosecuting for defamation of character. The females were transferred to the care of Miss Emma Corner, the prosecutor's si s t er, w h o was a b out to search them, when Davis, who was called Hemming, dropped the missing coat from under her dress. The pri soners were given into custody. While they were in the shop a man, one of the gang, came to the shop door pre tending to be drunk, and made a noise to create a diver sion and draw the attention of the salesman from the prisoners. He saw the ruse and was not to be cheated of his coat. All the prisoners had been in custody before. The prisoner Davis said she was very sorry for what she had done. She certainly did steal the coat. She had been drinking heavily. If she had been sober she would not have done it. Mr. Woolrych—That won't de; I don't care whether you were drunk or sober at the time, intoxication is nu excuse for crime. Back said the prisoners came into the shop together and acted in concert, and that the pretended drunkard made a good deal of noise at the door. Mr. Woolrych said he should commit the prisoners sum marily. The coat was actually in the possession of one, but legally of all three. He co nvicted the prisoners of un lawful possession of the property, and sentenced them to two months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, AVERAGE PRICE OF SUGAR.

DESPERATE ASSAULT UPON A LADY AND HIGH WAY ROBBERY.—John Weldon and James Healey were brought before Mr. Burcham, at the Southwark police court yesterday, on final examination, charged with being con cerned with another not in custody in garotting Mrs. Frances Frost, a middle-aged lady, in Long-lane, Bermond say, in a violent manner, and robbing her of a purse con taining two sovereigns and a quantity of silver.

The St. Petersburg Gazette, after setting forth the opinions which have been lately given respect ing the possibility of the cession of Sardinia to France, and the strategical importance of the island, the possession of which would give unques tionable preponderance in the Mediterranean to a great maritime power, declares that the recent language of Earl Russell was not required to per suade it that no compromise of the kind between the new kingdom of Italy and France could take place without seriously endangering the pea ce of Europe. For this reason the Gazette t h i nks there can be no foundation for the repor t in question. a w n b a u r p g e n h . ,.

The Earl of Derwentwater was executed in 1715 for high treason, and his brother, Charles Radcliffe, attainted at the same time, must have joined in the rebellion of 1 7 4 5, as he was exe cuted for high treason in December, 1 746, und er hi s f ormer conviction of 1715. ROBBERY BY A CHARWOMAN.--All old woman aged 62, named Curtis, was yesterday fully committed for trial for stealing a quantity of plate from the residence of Mr. E. C. Clarke, Gray's-inn-square. The proceeds of the robbery were spent in gin, 25 75 25 75 THE EXHIBITION OF 1862. The British public are at present asking very few questions about what is expected to be the world's wonder in 1862. About the building itself there are plenty of signs of activity and progress, but still everything is in that confused state which renders the obtaining a definite idea as to the future impossible. There are forests of scaffolding, and formidable heaps of stores of every kind, the latter consisting princi pally of the iron work, all ready to be put up when the masons and bricklayers have done. It is said that already £40,000 worth lies strewed about the wharf, and £25,000 more within the building. The work required of the masons and bricklayers is, it appears, very trifling, and hence the slight inconvenience felt in consequence of the strike. The main structure of the building will be iron, and that has all been cast and forged, ready to hand. There are a few Sappers and Miners en gaged, but chiefly in superintendence ; they do no work for the contractors, but take their instructions exclusively from the Royal Commission. Without going into any tiresome details about the number of bricks which are laid daily, or the cubic feet of ironwork which are intended to be raised, we may state generally that the picture-gallery will most probably be roofed in in October, and that there is not the slightest doubt, humanly speaking, of the building and its multifarious contents being quite ready to receive the rush of the million at the time appointed next year. With respect to those contents, we have not as yet got much beyond expectation. The Commis sioners have sent their cards of invitation to the four corners of the earth, and in every case have, we were informed yesterday, received the most satisfactory replies. The universal cry i s " space, space," but what the applicants intend to put into that much desiderated " space" can only be ascertained by a reference to Mr. M'Culloch's ex haustive dictionary of commerce, where their various staples of product and manufacture are accurately noted down. It is to be hoped that the Commis sioners will exercise a tasteful and careful dis cretion with respect to the articles they admit. They must remember that to make their ex hibition a success, and thus to relieve their very liberal guarantors from ultimate responsibility, they must consider attractiveness as well as utility, and not allow exhibitors to swamp their space with clumsy articles at which nobody will care to look. In the exhibition of 1851 how many of the thou sands who crowded to Hyde -park were attracted by the novelty of Paxton's unique Palace of Crystal, the noble elms in the central transept, with the birds singing amongst the boughs, the oriental splendours of the Indian Court—where are they now ?—the Russian malachites 'and the wondrous jewellery and plate of all the master craftsmen in the world ? The huge lamps of coal and unwieldy shafts of granite were placed judiciously out of sight. Those who wanted them wore told where to find them, bat they were not allowed to mar the general coup-d'osil. This hint may be unnecessary, as of course the point has not escaped the Commissioners ; but an ominous array of " tons" already crops up in newspaper paragraphs. Galig mini, for example, says, " The Imperial Com mission for the London Universal Exhibition of 1862 has already received 2,686 applications from persons (in France) who wish to be ex hibitors. At the Exhibition of 1851 the number of French exhibitors was 1,700, and the total weight of the packages sent 730 tons. It is already certain that the French section of the coming Ex hibition will be much more extensive, as five Paris houses alone purpose sending goods weighing 736 I tons, or six tons more than the total weight of all the articles exhibited in 1851." We must beware of these "tons." The Koh-i -noor, to see which people came from all parts of the world, weighed rather less than three ounces ! In addition to the French, the Belgians, the Swedes, the Prussians, the Austrians, and the Swiss are most anxious to exhibit. The United States are otherwise engaged just at present, but it is not impossible that peace may yet be restored in time to send over some of its offerings to the world's fair. The sympathy and exertions of our myriad colonists are, we believe, worthy of all praise. Victoria has voted £B,OOO, New South Wales £3,000, Queensland £3,000, Tasmania £2,000, to enable the inhabitants to send over their products to London. From many of these places delegates have already arrived, and are at present in active relations with the Commissioners. It is to be presumed that these gentlemen travel at their own expense, as a voyage from the antipodes and a lengthened sojourn in London would absorb far too large a proportion of the votes of these en terprising colonies. The whole of British South Africa is making strenuous exertions, and ther, , are scattered ever its vast surface hundreds of ob jects well worth transmitting for inspection to London. The demands for hanging room in the picture gallery continue to pour in, but as yet nothing has transpired as to the merits of the applicants or the character of their pictures. The commissioners will have a very difficult duty to discharge in this department, as they will no doubt be made the targets of all the enraged victims of all the hang ing committees in the world. What makes the matter worse is, that their English choice will be limited to living artists, or to those of the century, whilst the foreigners will have liberty to range over their whole artistic history. All the great collectors have been written to, as in the case of the Manchester Exhibition, but there is no information as to how many of their treasured masterpieces will grace the walls. No doubt is however enter tained but that the number of pictures will be very great. Amongst the business arrangements it may be mentioned that an additional piece of ground has been obtained from the Royal Commissioners of 1851, running along the side of the Horticultural Society's garden, and opposite the "annexe" of the original plan.

Yesterday afternoon a fearful coal-pit accident occurred at the Summerlee coal-pit, situated on the farm of Dykehead, about three miles from Har Hilton, belonging to Messrs. Wilson and Co. The pit is upwards of 40 fathoms in depth, and yesterday morning, about half-past 4 o'clock, at least 45 men descended the shaft for the purpose of commencing work. All went right till about 1 o'clock is the afternoon, when smoke was observed issuing from the shaft. Such an unusual occurrence excited great alarm, which speedily resolved into a panic a mong the workers' families. Scarcely had 10 minutes elapsed from the time the smoke was first discovered. when flames made their appearance, rolling up the bratticing of the shaft, and i gniting the frame-work at the pit head. An alarm was instantly raised, and a messenger despat c h e d to Hamilton for the fire engine. Meanwhile the flames raged with in tense fury, and in a brief space of time the ponder ous head gearing was reduced to a heap of ashes. About 2 o'clock the Hamilton fire engine arrived, and began to play with effect upon the burning bratticing, and at 4 o'clock_ the fire eng i ne f rom Hamilton Palace arrived, and was at once m a d e to play on the burning .vaass. By a o'clock the fire was almost extinguished, and workmen went ener getically to work to erect temporary pulleys, so that an effort might be made to gain access to the unfortunate ee orkmen who were underground. The work was quickly effected, and a temporary in telligence was sent down. The gratifying was soon heard from the mouth of one of the sur vivors, who called out to raise the hutch, which was speedily done, and he was landed in safety. The poor man, however, could give no account of the sad catastrophe, and only said that others of his fellow-workmen were alive. Previous to the working of the pulleys being accomplished Mr. W. G. Simpson, one of the partners of Dundas, Simpson, ana Co., whose colliery workings imme diately adjoin those of the Summerlee Company, was in attendance and gave directions for the driving of a mine from his workings through a distance of 60 yards into the waste of the Summer lee Pit. The work was speedily begun, it being thought probable that the charred bratticing might crumble to atoms, a n d bl oc k up the bottom of the pit in which the accident occurred. Although the pulleys, as we have said, were happily got into working order without loss of time, nevertheless the driving of the m i ne was energetically proceeded with, so that if the worki ng o f th e pu ll eys f a il e d no effort might be wanting to rescue the poor m iners. After 5 o'clock smoke still ascended from the shaft, but still hutch after hutch brought up the poor miners who were the least fatigued, and at 7 o'clock 13 men had been raised to the surface. At this juncture a brave fellow named Andrew Hun ter, an ironstone miner, volunteered to descend the shaft, and he was immediately lowered. At this time it was evident that those below were too weak to fix themselves in the hutches, and it was abso lutely necessary that some fresh men should go down and assist the helpless. After Hunter had been down some time he signalled to be drawn up, and. was accordingly brought to the surface. He stated that alone and without a light he could. do nothing, but with lamps and assistance he ex pressed his willingness to go down again. Davy lamps were immediately procured, and Hunter and another miner named Fleming descended, and in a very short time an exhauited miner was raised to the surface. The two brave fellows remained below in the horrid choke-damp atmosphere for a consi derable time and rescued several helpless men, after which they were hauled up themselves almost fainting. Other volunteer workmen followed, and up till half-past 9 o'clock 28 workmen were rescued. As the evening advanced the men who were brought up in a faint, exhausted, or insensible state, and one poor fellow, named Macleod Nelson, 41 years of age, expired. Dr. Win. Weir, Larkhall, and Dr. Wm. Naismitb, Hamilton, were on the spot, and rendered valuable service in attending the poor men ; and iu this work, we are happy to say, they were ably assisted by Mr. James Alston Dykes, Procurator-Fiscal, Hamilton, who was formerly a medical student. Later in the evening, Dr. Lennox, Hamilton, and Dr. Goff, Bothwell, arrived, and. attended the sufferers. The accident, so far as cad be ascertained, was caused by the "cube," a fur nace which is used for causing the foul air to ascend one shaft, while the pure air descends another. The bratticing, or wooden lining of the shaft, must have become overheated from the fire in the cube, and ignited. Some idea of the fury of the flames may be gathered from the fact that at Motherwell—a distance of two miles—they were observed, and appeared to be raging to a height of two stories. The majority of the unfortunate miners were working at a considerable distance from the bottom of the shaft, and none of the survivors can account for the sad occurrence. From the appear ance of the men who were brought out about 9 o'clock last night, it is to be feared that these who were still in the pit must soon succumb to the choke-damp which filled it. Every effort was made for the rescue of the poor men, and Mr. Walter Neilson, of the Summerlee Iron Company, Mr. W. Neilson, of Mossend Ironworks, and :Nit.. William Moncreath, mining engineer, Coatbridge, were on the spot, and rendered every assistance in their power. The scene at the pit head was most heartrending—wives lamenting for their husbands and sons, sisters for their brothers, and children for their fathers. As each poor fellow, in a state of insensibility, was carried on a stretcher past the crowd—which numbered about 1,000 persons—the face of the unfortunate man was recognised by some one, and a shriek fol lowed, which was most melancholy to hear. Still, to the credit of the poor relatives of the entombed men, be it said, they were wonderfully patient under their heavy trial, and many of them ren dered valuable aid to the doctors and the sufferers. But every one worked with a will, and none more so than Superintendent David Dewar, of the county police, who, on receiving information of the accident, proceeded to the spot with a body of police, who kept admirable order. Captain M'Kay, chief constable, and Superintendent Chris tison were also in attendance.— Glasgow Herald. TILLS DAY'S MARKETS.
