Col, Crawley and Sergeant-Major Wakefield, Many of of the circumstances connected with the management by Lieut.-Col. Crawley of the 6th In niskilling Dragoons will be brought under the notice of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in the course of the forthcoming term, which will commence on Friday, the 15th inst. The plaintiff in the case is Sergeant-Major Wakefield, and the defendant Lieut.-Col. Crawley. The proceedings out of which the action arose are those which were immediately identified with the Mhow court-martial, and of which much was said in the early stages of the court-martial on Lieut.- Col. Crawley at Aldershot. Lieutenant-Colonel Cr awley was appointed early in 1861 to the corn- Mana of the Inniskihing Dragoons, then stationed at Atnednuggur, in the Dewar. He introduced some changes into the regiment, which soon became broken up into hostile cliques. In less than a year from the time Lieut.-Colonel Crawley assumed the command Paymaster Smales was brought once be fore a court of inquiry and once before a court martial. At the latter trial, known as the Meow co urt - martial, three non-commissioned officers who Were to have given evidence were arrested by order of Colonel Crawley and kept in close confinment. T hey were Regimental Sergeant Major Lilley, Troop Sergeant Major Duval, and Troop Ser geant Major Wakefield. The first of these died, and the latter is the plaintiff in the present action. The action is brought by the plaintiff against his late commanding officer for trespass in causing him to be arrested and confined on a charge of insubordination, the second count alleg ing that the defendant caused the plaintiff to be _so arrested maliciously and without any reasonable or PrPbable cause ; and the third alleges that while the P l aintiff was so under arrest, without reasonable or probable cause, the defendant, by false representa tions, induced Major-General Farrell, commanding Co mmander-in-Chief Mho division, and Sir William Mansfieid, ‘i o nimander-in-Chief of the Bombay army, to approv e of the arrest, and to order the plaintiff „to be d e t a i ne d i n p r i son , witho u t bringin g 'din before a court-martial, as he was bound to do under the Mutiny Act. The plaintiff lays his Lieutenant-Colonel damages at £5,000. To this declaration -Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley has pleaded :- 1 . The general issue of "not guilty" to the whole of the counts, under the Mutiny Acts. To the count On trespass he has pleaded a justification, to the effect that the plaintiff had bean guilty of gross Misconduct, of insubordination, and in other re- Peets of breaches of military discipline ; further, that !he defendant was justified as commanding officer M causing the plaintiff to be arrested and impri B , ° ned. 2. Th a t th e d e f e ndant was justified in de• twi ning the plaintiff in prison under and by virtue t he' command of his superior officer, the command ing Officer of the district (Major-General Farrell). •;•n the 3d place, Lieut.-Colonel Crawley pleads th e i n deta i n i ng an d con ti nu i ng General Plaintiff i n p r i son i n v i rtue o f the command of ` - 'eneral Sir William Mansfield, who was in com mand of th e B om b ay di v i s i on o f t h e arm y. To t ° ese pleas th e plaintiff has replied, taking issue on th em as t o matters of fact, and f urt b er ass i gns th a t Lie utenant-C o l one l Crawley kept him in solitary arrest and on several occasions after his and without reasonable cause punished hi en • To this part of the replication Lieu tenant Crawley has demurred, and has also Pleaded a special rejoinder that what he did • la causing the plaintiff to be arrested and continu e d i n i m p r i so nment was done bo na fide in th e di sc ha rg e of his duties as com manding officer, and that if he did so wrongly it was an error, and was not done maliciously, inasmuch as he had acte d throug h out w i t h a s i mp l e d es i re to u phold and maintain the discipline of the service. U pon this is sue h as b een j o i ne d. The demurrer is se " down for argument by the full court early in astern term, and the cause itself will be heard by -Lord Chief Justice Erle at the sittings at Guildhall after Trinity term. Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins , for C. , , and Mr.Prideaux are the counsel engaged the plaintiff. Lieut.-Col. Crawley will be re °resented by Mr. M . Ceambers , Q.C., and Mr. Ranee.

A HAZARDOUS PosT.—Luckily for the Prus sians, says a letter from Duppel, the steeple of a church in the neighbourhood of the works has not been struck by the Danish guns. On the top of its lofty spire is erected- a volunteer observatory, whence the fortification as well as a large expanse of the sea can be accurately surveyed. For this ser vice the Prussians are indebted to Capt. Carlson, an aged gentlemen from Alfons, who, having spent all his life on the Baltic, is intimately acquainted with thecoast,and has offered his assistance for the purpose. Suspending himself imme diately beneath the cross, ho will hold out for 8 hours run ning in his hazardous position. Spying in every direction, he regularly communicates his observations to a secretary lying at his feet on a board projecting from the base of the steeple. His despatches are, by no means of the electric telegraph, immediately conveyed to head-quarters, as well as to the various batteries, and to a number of assistants distributed along the coast. " Rolf Brake, leaves Ala Sund, steers for Gammelmark." "Fire from two guns of Redoubt No. 6." "One com pany comes out of Redoubt No. 5, goes to Easter Dup pel." "Duppel mill burns, &c." Such is the character of his laconic but important despatches. Besides his tele graphic connection with the various Prussian works, and the branch establishments along the shore, he has always horsemen and conveyances waiting at the church door to carry the messages, or sometimes him Eel, when he thinks it necessary he should go himself.

TE LLIGENCE—This Day. RAILW. chair. INCE, WORCESTER, BROMYARD, AND LEOMINSTER. The half yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at Worcester, Sir C. Hastings in the The report stated that a preliminary arrangement had been entered into with Mr. Yeoman, of Dalston, for making the line from Bransford to its junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, near Leominster. In negotiating the terms of tke pro posed contract it was found necessary to apply to Parliament for additional powers, and the Bill has been read a second time. The objects of the Bill were for an extension of time for purchasing land and for completing the works, and for raising addi tional capital to the extent of £lOO,OOO, with the usual borrowing powers. The capital account showed that £21,873 had been expended, including L 16,000 deposited in the Caurt of Chincery, and a sum of £1,322 was owing to bankers. The CHAIRMAN said the directors hoped that the Great Western would withdraw their opposition to the bill in Parliament, in which case the contractor would at once proceed with the works and under take to complete them within three years. At pre sent he could only say that the attention of the directors would be continued in endeavouring to dissuade the Great Western Company from opposing the bill. The motion was carried. _ _ _ The retiring directors, Messrs. Chadwick, Evans, Lea, and Sherriff, and tha auditor, Mr. West, wert re-elected, and a vote of thanks having been passed the meeting separated. .--,_ BEARE MARKETS —This day.

Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution, which was instituted by the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, Duke street, St. James's. Mary Ann George said—l live at No. 6, Red Lion-court, Seven Dials, and the pris o ner is my husband. I am 21' years of age, and have been married 18 months. On the 21st March, between 5 and 6 in the evening, my husband met me where we live, and told me to come upstairs. He asked me what I bad been speaking to the landlord about, and I said, "About the rent." He then took hold of me by the cars and bumped my head against the wall, and kicked me and struck me in the face, blacking both my eyes. He said, "You shall not go out of the b— room alive. I will have your b— head off your shoulders." I asked him to let me go, for the sake of my child which I held in my arms. He told me to put the child down, and, having a knife in his hand, he said, " I'll have your life. Make up your mind not to go out of the room alive." As I would not put the child down, he threw it out of my arms, and on my stooping to pick it up he caught bold of my leg, and in so doing cut it. I screamed for assistance, and some persons came and burst he door open and liberated me, and then my hue band tried ove r the balusters atter me. He has often beaten to m get e before, and the things I get together to make a home he breaks up Mr. Lewis—ire has been in prison, has he not ? C o mplainant — Yes, s ir ; once for an assa ult, and once for thieving. Ellen Welsh, living in the same house, proved hearing cries of " murder" proceeding from the room occupied by the prisoner and his wife. Mr. Lewis—How long have you known the complainant, and what sort of character does she bear? Witness—l have known her nine years, and she is a steady, hardworking woman. Mr. Charles Dowd, of Poland-street, surgeon—l saw the complainant some days atter the 21st, and her face was much contused, She had bad black eyes. I saw a wound on her leg, an incised wound, but in consequence of its being nearlyhealed cannot say pos itivel y how it was caused. A knife like the one produced would cause such a wound. Prisoner —My wife mixes up with the people in " the Dials," and because I have brought some of them to justice she has an ill feeling towards me. 1 wish to call Sergeant Cole to speak to my character. Sergeant Cole was called, but his evidence was far from favourable to the prisoner, inasmuch as he said he knew the prisoner as a thief, and believed he had robbed him (the sergeant). Prisoner—My wife aggravates me and calls me a " cod." She was very violent. I did strike her, but it was because she dropped the child. The prisoner was committed for six months with hard labour, and ordered at the expiration of the sentence to find one bail in £2O for another six months to keep the peace towards his wife. There is little doubt that, but for the exertions of the society's agent, Mr. C. Albert, the prisoner would not have been brought before the magistrate. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT._Frederick Granger, a tall sea man, with a long beard and moustauch, having the appear ance of a foreigner, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting Mr. Thomas Matthews, a packer, of No. 36, Ann-street, Commercial-road. Last night the complainant and another man were pass ing along a street in the neighbourhood of Wellclose square, when the prisoner rushed from a court, and, with out any provocation or insult, struck the prosecutor with his fist and knocked him down, and when he was on the ground kicked him four times. The prisoner was almost immediately seized, and it WAS observed to him that he had mad() a mistake, and another asked him what he meant. He made no reply, and was taken to the station-house. The complainant, who is a respectable steady man, was much hurt by the blow and kicks ha received. Several witnesses proved the case against the prisoner who made no defence, and Mr. Paget severely commented' on his brutal conduct. The assault was most wanton, cruel, and violent. He sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. A BULLY.—Thomas Marshall, a rough, dissipated looking feliow, 32 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting Mary Driscoll. The complainant, whose face was bruised and her mouth severely cut, said she was an unfortunate woman and had cohabited with the prisoner. She left him some time ago. He continued to follow her about and annoy her. Last night she was in company with another man in a public house and saw the prisoner :here. She left the house with the strange man. This morning at six o'clock she met the prisoner at the end of Anne-street, Limehouse Church, and he asked her where she went to last night, to which she replied with whom she wished to go and where she liked. He then struck her on the face with his fists, and caused her mouth to bleed profusely. George Wise, a pclice-constable, No. 354 K, heard the woman screaming and endeavouring to shield her face by the side of a wall. The prisoner was striking at her with his fists as if he was hitting a man, and he took him into custody. The woman was in a sad condition, and covered with blood, The prisoner said that Driscoll robbed him of 35.. which was a serious loss to him as a working man. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was one of those fellows who thought he could beat a prostitute with impunity, but he would teach him his mistake. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON THE POLlCE,—Daniel Frim, a low looking fellow, about 30 years of age, and Mary Frim, his wife, with a child in her arms, were charged, the former with assaulting a police constable in the execution of his duty, and the latter with assaulting the constable and at tempting to rescue her husband from custody. William Brooker, police constable, 287 B, said that on the previous evening he was on duty in Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, in plain clothes, and as it was raining very hard he had an um brella up. He app roache d the defendant and his wife who were ed quarre ling and makin g a no i se, an d as h e passe d recea kick on the back part of the leg which was, no doubt, intended for the defendant's wife. The defendant kicked him at the same time. sayin g , " I will break your b---- leg." Complainant said, "be careful with your legs another time, I am a policeman; " The defendant then said that he did not care for him or any other policeman, accompanying it with fearful language. Brooker requested him to go home, when he rushed at him, caught him by a woollen scarf he had on an d nearly cho k e d hi m , at the same time kicking him left and right. The constable then told him he should take hi m i nto custody, an d t h e woma n came up, seized him by the neck and whiskers, and then commenced a desperate assault on him and dragged him into a shop. He called for assistance, and a constable came up and assisted him with the accused to the station. The woman had a child, but gave it to some person to hold when the assault took place. The man was drunk and the woman had been drinking. The male defendant said, in answer to the charge, that he police h av i ng proved that he had been several times didn't kick the constable,. and that it was a fair stand-up fight in which he was hit in the eye. wa s a most, dangerous fellow, and The b on % month s imprisonment with hard convicted for assaults upon them, labour, M sentenced rSeife him saidto discharging his wife. 511IPPING—This Day.

MEETING OF THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIA TION.—Mr. Charles Robertson presided at the an nual meeting of the members of this association, which was bold at Liverpool yesterday, and at which about a dozen persons were present. The report and statement of accounts, and a number of resolutions were adopted and passed nem. dis. The report announced an increase in the number of members, but stated that the funds were "lamentably, nay, ludicrously small." The Treasurer reported a balance in hand of £139 9s 6d. A public meeting was held in St. George'o Hall last night. NEA.TII AND BRECON. Yesterday the half yearly meeting of the proprie tors was held at the offices, Duke-street, Westmin ster,—Mr. Banks in the chair. The report stated that great progress had been made in the construction of the works. Mr. Mac kenzie, the engineer, stated in his report that the first ten miles from Neath would be ready for open ing about the beginning of June next. The capital account to December 31 showed that £140,046 had been expended. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on the position and prospects of the company. Some portion of the works were of no ordinary character, but they were well and substantially constructed. The line itself passed through one of the richest mineral valleys of Glamorgan, and when the traffic was fully developed he felt assured it would be a paying and profitable undertaking. A most extensive bed of limestone had been discovered in making the line in the neighbourhood of Brecon. There were also large beds of ironstone and other minerals on the 12 miles now in course of construction, which he had no doubt would be open for traffic by July. Colonel BROWNE seconded the report, and it was carried unanimously. The retiring directors, Messrs. R. H. Miers and C. Miers, were then re-elected, and also Mr. W. T. Lewis, the retiring auditor. The meeting was then made special, and resolu tions were passed authorising the exercise of the borrowing powers of the company, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors terminated the proceedings. DUTCH RHENISH. The receipts for the fortnight ending the 15th ol March amounted to £8,636, and for the correspond. ing period of last year to £7,373, S howing an in. crease of £1,262. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The adjourned meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern—the Right Hon, J. S. Wortley in the chair. Mr. Saward, the secretary, having read the no. tics of adjournment for receiving a report on the completion of the contract for laying the new cable in the summer of 1865, and to authorise the raising of additional capital, The CUAIRMAN said the meeting had been ad journed from the 16th March to allow time for the completion of certain negotiations and arrange ments. lie was happy to say that the progress o the negotiations would enable him on that occasion to impart the necessary information to them re specting the contract for the cable. If he did not lay before them all the details they must consider that it was not desirable to do so, leaving the mat ter in the hands of the directors to carry oat. He considered this meeting as laying the foundation stone of the present undertaking, and if they should be spared for 18 months longer their groat work would, he trusted, be in successful operation. The agreement shad been completed with the eminent firm of Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., for. making and laying the new cable which was chosen by the scientific committee. It was not only much larger, but heavier, than the old cable, and more costly. Its conducting power, insulation, and protection were far superior to those of the old cable, and cal culated to insure success. The price was a large one, £700,000. The paid-up capital of the company at that moment only amounted to £316,000, but the directors had made arrangements to pay the re mainder by means of ordinary shares and deben tures. Payments would be made as the work pro- ceeded, and the cable would be tested as the work went on. If, as they confidently expected, the cable should be perfectly successful to earn a good income a bonus of ordinary shares would be handed to the co ntractors from time to time, provided the cable con tinued in working order to the amount of £137,000, which would be an addition of 20 per cent. to the price of the cable. He was at liberty to say that the paid-up capital should be increased to £330,000 in cash, £250,000 of guaranteed shares would be issued gradually as the work proceeded, and debentures to the amount of £lOO,OOO would be issued in like manner, making up the sum of £700,000. The con tract had not been signed, although it had been ap proved by both sides and also by their legal repre sentatives. They would ask the shareholders and the public to subscribe the necessary amount to in crease the paid-ap capital from £315,000 to £350,000. He was happy to say the public had now much more confidence than formerly in the success of the undertaking, but if even they should not be able to raise the additional capital by the issue of 8 per cent. guaranteed shares, it was so ar ranged that that circumstance would in no way i m pede the progress of the works, or delay them for a moment. He concluded by moving a formal re solution to the effect that the meeting having heard t h e chairman's ex planation of the contract with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. expressed its approval of the same. Mr. DEWSBURY seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Capt. HAMILTON, the directors were authorised to issue under the Company's Act, 1859, 5,857 shares of £2O each, of the nominal amount of £137,040, so soon as the contractors have successfully laid the cable, from time to time, credited in the books of the company as fully paid-up shares. The CHAIRMAN moved that the directors be authorised to issue £lOO,OOO of debentures autho rised to be issued under the Amendment Act, on such terms as might be agreed upon. Mr. E. Moos seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of hanks to the chairman and directors. lank of England Return,•--East Evening, An Account, pursuant to the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 32, for the W eek ending on Wednesday, the 3Uth day of March, 1864 ISSUE DEPARTMENT.

The weather was very unfavourable, rain and snow having fallen heavily during the preceding night, rendering the ground very heavy. There was nothing in the racing to call forth any opecial remarks. The field was a good one, with some stiff jumps, and made a ditch with some ten feet of water in it. A keen north-west wind blew during the early part of the day, but towards the finish the sun came out, and the last two races were run .in weather mere like June than March.

In January fast three men were committed for trial on a charge of stealing 3,3001 b of weft and twist from the Ger man Mill, Bolton, the property of Messrs. Warren, manu facturers and cloth agents. The value of the property was about £lOO, and the case has excited groat interest in the district. It was known at the time that George Robinson and Edward Rippax, handloom weavers, were implicated as receivers, and that they had absconded from the town. The police have been on the look-out for them ever since, and on Friday last they were apprehended—Robinson at Dews bury, and Rippax at Leeds. Yesterday they were brought before the borough magistrates, charged as receivers of a considerable portion of the stolen property in question. ?.Ir. Augustus Warren stated that on the 24th of December he missed a quantity of weft and twist, and on taking stock it was found that 3,3001 b had been stolen, the value at that time being 2s 6d or 2s 7d per lb. The cops of weft and twist produced by the police were identified by him as of the same quality as those stolen. Mr. Henry Platt, rope and band manufacturer, Bolton, proved that on the 6th ol November last, he purchased 9911. b of weft from the pri soners, at is lld per pound. They brought it in a bag, and sold it as a job lot. On the 9th he bought another bag, containing 94 3 / 4 1b ; on the 10th another, containing 97th; and on the 12th, 801 b, for which he paid them the same price. It was all used except two or three cops which he took to Mr. Harris, the chief constable. Shortly afterwards Robinson offered to sell him another bag, but he declined to purchase it unless he had some explanation as to where it came from. Robinson said it was all right, and that if he would not buy it some one else would. He went again, and said he had two lots of 1501 b, which he would let him have at ld or lid per lb less if he would take it. Mr. Platt said he would have no more unless he could sa tisfy him that. it had been properly obtained. Robinson said he could give no other account of it; and Mr. Platt's sus picion being aroused, he gave information to Mr. Harris and took him the cops he had left.—James Reeves, who de scribed himself as a waste dealer, residing in Lupton-street, stated that on Nov. 22 the prisoners sold him sone 60's cops similar to those produced, and identified by Mr. War ren. He took a sample and sold them to Mr. W. Flitcroft, manufacturer,Bradshawgate. They asked is I,od per Ib, but he got them for is 9)d. On the 26th he bought another bag from Robinson at the same price. Robinson then said he had another bag, but witness told him Mr. Flitcroft would not have any more unless he knew where it came from. Mr. William Flitcroft corroborated Reeves's statement as to the purchase of the weft, and said it had all been used except the cops he gave to Mr. Harris. The bags con tained 901 b and 9211) . —David Mitchell, who was at first taken into custody as a receiver, but admitted as evidence for the prosecution, stated that he is a manufacturer of quilts and toilets, and has a warehouse in Commission.. street, Bolton—that on the 12th or 13th of November the prisoners showed him a sample of weft, for which they asked Is IMP per lb—and it was arranged that he (Mit chell) should endeavour to find a customer for it in Man chester. He want to Manchester and found a purchaser, and the next day he agreed to take it at is 10d per lb. They said they had 5 or 6 clot, The day after they brought him 100 lb in bags, for which he paid £l4 Os 6d—on the 17th they brought 100 lb in bags, for which he paid £8 17s 6d—on the 11th December he got 961 b, and paid them £8 Its 6d—and on the 12th 901 b, for which he paid £8 Is. The greater portion of the weft he sold to a person in Man chester,and about 2001 b he had left was taken by the police. This witness was cross-examined by Robinson at great length, with the view of showing•that he was unworthy of belief, but he was advised to reserve his cross-examination till his trial. The prisoners were committed for trial. The quarter sessions for the borough will commence to-day, and as the three prisoners first, committed are to be defended, tha trial is expected to occupy a considerable time. MAMIE TB--T his Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat into London this week have somewhat increased ; but the show of smiles on the stands here to-day was by means extensive. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state for all qualities, yet prices were without alteration from Monday last. The condition of the produce was tolerably good. Only a moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. Millers operated only to meet immediate require.. malts, at previous quotations. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. The trade for good and fine malting barley ruled firm, at extreme quotations ; but in other descriptions sales pro• gressed heavily, at about previous rates. For malt the demand was in a sluggish state, at late prices. _ _ The market was well supplied with English and foreign oats. Most qualities changed hands to a moderate extent, at previous quotations. Peas and beans moved off steadily, and late prices were supported. In flour about an average business was transacted, or; former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.
