!CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Tyro O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation is mo derately active at previous rates. At a meeting of the creditors of the old bank, Hereford, and of the Ross and Archenfield Bank, Ross, resolutions of a similar character were adopted 116 at the previous meeting of the Ross cre ditors. It was also resolved that Mr. Richard Hereford, and Mr. Wren Hoskins should act as creditors' assignees, in conjunction with Messrs. Suter and Luckes, the former of whom is the ma nager of the Hereford branch cf the National Pro vincial Bank of England, and the latter the manager of the Ross branch of the Gloucestershire Banking Company, The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the laat few days have not beet very extensive. The public sales of tea have been concluded without any material change in values. Sugars have, in moat instances, sustained previous rates, while good and fine qualities of coff have been in fair request at late quctations. Rice and fruit have been dull, and the dealings in tallow have been circumscribed for both present and for. ward delivery. About £85,000 in bar gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The amount of specie conveyed by the Magdalena, whim - , left to-day for the Brazile, was £221,993. The return of traffic receipts upon the Bengal Division of the East Indian Railway for the week ending the 15th Marsh last, gives a total of £15,614; the amount received in the corresponding week of the previous year was £8,869. On the North-West Provinces Division during the same period, the sum realised represented £4 324, while, for the same term last year, it was £2,655. Two O'CLOCK.

Happily, there was no further damage. The ladies were seized with a panic, and, not withstanding the efforts and appeals of the rev. canon, the congregation dispersed before the service was concluded.

It is said that he was £1,500 richer after his exert ions than . ae was before. LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Mr. Justice Mellor.) THE EARL OP CARDIGAN V. LIEUT.-COLONEL THE HON. SOMERSET TALBOT CALTHORPE - THE LIGHT CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALIKLAVA. It will be recollected that a short time ago Mr. Bovill, Q.C., on the part of the Earl of Cardigan, obtained a rule calling upon the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Somerset. Talbot Calthorpe, who served in the Crimean war, and who had written a book entitled " Letters from Head-quarters, the Realities of the War in the Crimea," by an officer on the Staff, to show cause why a criminal action should not be filed against him for a libel reflecting upon the military reputation of the noble and gallant general. The libel complained of was contained in the description of the attack by the light cavalry brigade, under the command of the Earl of Cardigan, upon the Russian batteries at Balaklava, in which the noble earl center ded that his military character and honour had been impeached, by its being said he did not take his brigade through the battery, but that, "oncoming up to the battery (as he afterwards himself described it), a gun was fired close to him, and for a moment he thought his leg was gone. Such was not the case, as he remained unhurt. However, his horse took fright—swerved round—and galloped off with him to the rear, passing, on the way, by the 4th Light Dra goons and Bth Hussars, before these regiments got up to the battery." Earl Cardigan, after the first edition of the work, called the author's attention to the above errone ous statement, and in the second edition, without altering the original text, he published a notice, in. which he simply stated that no doubt the statement that his horse ran away with him was erroneous. In a third edition he still retained the objectionable passage, with a similar note. Mr. Kinglake's recent work on the Crimea had again called attention to the events there, and the noble earl found that the calumnies in reference to the charge at Balaklava we e being freely spoken stout in public society. In February he called upon the author to stop the publication of the work, or expunge the objectionable passage, but he declined to do so, and therefore the rule was applied for and granted. Mr. Sergeant Shee this morning showed cause against the rule, and was followed by Mr. Coleridge on the same side. At the conclusion of the learned gentleman's argu ment, Mr. Bovill, on the part of his lordship, was heard in reply, and was addressing the court when we went to press. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Benjamin Everett was indicted for feloniously receiving a quantity of leather and other articles used in the manu facture of boots and shoes, the property of George William Shelton. The case did not possess any general interest, and had Lot concluded when «s went to press. NEW COURT. A persoh named Dowden surrendered to an indictment for libel on Mr. Allnutt. He was discharged on his own recognisamees. The remainder of the morning was occupied in the dis posal of five cases of uttering counterfeit coin, in which the persons charged were sentenced to short terms of imprison ment, with hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Robert Jones, alias Joyce, pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery, with violence, on several females, and stealing monies from them. J oseph Gardner also ple&ded guilty to a charge of steal ing a watch from Josiah White. Sentence in both cases was deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A BILL OF EXCHANGE, &I —A MAGIS TRATE'S GROOM CHARGED WITH RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY. --Henry Franklin, formerly in the employ of Mr. James Heavens, saddler, &c., of 28, South Molten street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a bill of exchange on the Bank of Ireland for £lOO, two horses' bits, and a number of sponges, the property of Mr. Heavens; and Henry Armstrong, a respectable-looking man, living at 77, Grosvenor-mews, and who for many years has been in the service of Mr. Henry, the magistrate, was charged with, receiving the bits and spcnges with a guilty knowledge. Ms. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner Armstrong. It appears that Franklin was discharged by Mr. Heavens from his situation of errand boy on Saturday week, and after he left the bill of exchange for £lOO on the Bank of I eland was missed by Mr. Heavens from his cash-box, which was deposited in the safe in his counting-house Suspicion fell upon Franklin, and he was then sought for, and admitted that he had taken the bill of exchange, and as be could not pass it had destroyed it, and in confirmation of his statement a young man named Silvester, a baker, em • ployed at 36, South Molton-street, said that Franklin, with whom he was acquainted, asked him to buy a book for 2d., and at the same time showed him the bill of exchange, saying that he had found both it and the book, and he afterwards told hum that he had torn up the bill of exchange. Franklin made a further statement, in consequence of which Mr, Heavens went to Armstrong and found that he had in his possession two horses bits and some sponges, and Arm strong admitted that Franklin had brought them to his place, and in answer to questions put to him by Wright, 90 C, as to whether he knew where Franklin brought them from, he said he supposed from his master's place, as he knew where he worked. Mr. Lewis cross-examined Mr. Heavens, who said he could only swear to one of the bits and one piece of sponge ; that he knew the piece of sponge by its being damaged, and therefore he would not have sold it. He, however, admitted that in every case of sponges there were pieces like it. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate at some length on Armstrong's behalf, stating that he had been in one gentle man's (Mr. Henry's) employ for 30 years, and always bore a good character. There had been no attempt on the pri soner's part to get rid of the things. The prisoner had acted incautiously and imprudently, but the question was, had he feloniously received the things. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not understand, and there had been no attempt made to show, how the prisoner Arm strong came to let Franklin leave the things with him. He did not hold, neither did the other magistrates, with the system of examining and cross-examining which had been shown to have been pursued by the police towards the pri soner. It was a case for trial, and he should commit the prisoners, but would take one bail in £lO for Armstrong. THAMES. A COUPLE or RUFFIANS.—WiIIiam Platt, aged 22, furnace man, of Glengall-road, Poplar, and William Hard castle, boiler maker and rivetter, of No. 7, Bromley -street, St. Leonard-road, Bromley, were charged with violently assaulting Christopher Dalobe, of No. 226, Gray's-inn road, horse-keeper ; and William Pearce of No. 11, Cour land-grove, Clapham, joiner. The two complainants, well• conducted and respectable young men, were passing along the Commercial-road, with two friends, the mother of one and the wife of the other, when the two prisoners approached them, and with out the slightest provocation of any kind struck them and knocked thew down. In the attuggle which took place Pearce's coat was torn. In answer to questions by the magistrate, it appeared that Platt first struck the com plainant, Dalobe, and knocked him down, and that on Pearce missing his friend and relative, he turned round and went to his assistance, and was struck by Hardcastle, who also fell upon him and tore a coat. It was nearly a new coat. The two ruffians, in defence, said they knew nothing about the affair. The policeman who took them into custody was called and said they were both sober. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoners had committed violent asslults and without the semblance of provocation. They were a couple of ill. conditioned brutal fellows. He fined Hardcastle 10s. for the assault, and 10s. for the damage done to the coat, and fined Platt 12s. The penalties were paid. THE HOPEFUL SON.--William Gray, a tall and etrong lad, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with robbing his father. The prosecutor, William Gray, sen , of 7, Ball's-build ings, White Horse-street, Ratcliff, staid he was a lighter man. He put away a half sovereign in a box a few days ago, and on Saturday afternoon when he went to tbe box for the gold it was gone. He went in search of his son, but did not find him till last night. He asked him if he had taken the money. The prisoner said, "Yes I did, and have spent it." Some time ago the prisoner took a silk hand kerchief away from him and pawned it for 2s. The prose cutor, in conclusion, "My son will not work. He is old enough to get his own living. I have brought him up to my own business. He is 17 years of age, and I am near 60 years of age ? I want to get clear of bim. He comes home late at night, after being with bad company, and has of ten laid in bed unti► 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The prisoner, on being called on for bis defence, said that he could say nothing about the matter. Mr. Woulrych—You are a lazy, idle fellow, a worthless fellow; you will not work, you keep bad company and bsd hours, and put the finishing stroke to your worthlessness b3' robbing your father of his hard earnings, the half sovereign which he wanted to buy provisions kr himself and your mother. You are a base good-for-nothing fellow. I shall remand you until next Tuesday.

Notwithstanding the settling followed each day's trans actions at Ascot, the heavy nature of the wagering left large and important balances for adjustment at the Corner this afternoon. The attendance in consequence was ex tremely large, and mustered at a very early hour. Money, as usual, appeared extremely plentiful, the paying and re ceiving passing over (although slowly) without the slightest hitch. Towards the latter part of the day the committee of the room made known their decision with reference to the Fernhill Stakes at Ascot, and declared all bets thereon to be void, which was received with strong expressions of dissa•- tisfaction by some of the oldest and most experienced mem - bers, as being opposed to all precedent. This was subse quently followed by the exhibition on the glass of the fol lowing, from the office of the Messrs. Weatherby, which, we need not say, did not allay the feeling prevailing with the bookmakers, most of whom had sett ed on the race at Ascot, and were now called upon to pay upon Umpire_— T HE QUEEN'S STAND PLATE.--The owner of Um pire, the second horse in this race, has claimed the prize on the ground that Knowsley, the horse that came in first, did not carry his proper weight, having taken the allowance of 141 b. as a maiden 4-yr-old, whereas he walked over for the Municipal Stakes, at Doncaster, i n 18'1, and was entitled to an allowance of 101 b only, as not having won a Plate or Stake in 1862. " Lord Glasgow, being now aware of the mistake, admits the objection; and Umpire is declared the winner of the Queen's Stand Plate.—By order, j . AN D E. WEA.TIIERBY. " 6, Old Burlington-street, June 8. The excitement occasioned by these interruptions mate rially delayed the progress of the afternoon's business. Speculation upon future events, as would be expected, Was entirely suspended, the only bet we heard during the day being 10,000 to 125 against Lord Westmoreland's Birch Broom. CITY BETTING-YESTERDAY.

The labour of dressing for dinner culminated in the proper arrangement of this architectural column of cambric. It was a work of time, and at once a delicate mental and mechanical operation, to make the cravat yield to exactly the right hairbreadth, and take and keep the exact classical folds which would show off to best advantage the superincumbent visage. Any undue limpness of the material, any impatience or indecision in the manipulation, was sure to bring the whole concern to an unsuccmtul end. The insufficient tie had to be thrown by, and the process of coaxing, moulding, and tying a fresh one into shape was begun again and again, till the fastidious wearer was satis fied with the complete effect. No wonder that Beaußrum mell's valet felt the responsibility of the situation. No wonder if he answered the inquiring looks of an astonished friend who met him, after his master had gone out in full dress, tripping downstairs with a whole sheaf of rumpled but clean neckties over his arm, with the quiet and digni fied explanation, "These are our failures." A poor clergyman, grumbling to Dr. Blomfield, that he never had got a a single thing he asked for, " And I," said the Bishop, " never asked for anything I got." Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. VALETTA, June 3.—The Vice-Admiral Comman der-in-Chief R. Smart, K.H., left this morning, carrying his flag on board the Marlborough, 131, Capt. C. Fellowes, The Trafalgar, 70, Capt. T. Mason, left port shortly afterwards. These vessels are, it is said, bound on a cruise to Corfu, and are expected to be back in about a fortnight. The Meeanee, 80, Capt. G. Wodehouse, is still in port. The Revenge, 73 (flagship of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8.), will probably leave for Corfu on the return of the Commander-in• Chief. Vice-Ad miral Sir Wm. Fanshawe Martin, K.C.8., who left Malta the week before last, in her Majesty's ship Magicienne, 16, Captain W. Armytage, for Merseihes, by way of Sicily and Italy, has been seriously ill of a fever contreeed at Naples. He was too unwell to leave the ship,which accounts for Rear-Admiral Yelverton arriving here by the packet instead of by the Magicienne, as expected. A tele gram has since been received reporting the state of Admiral Martin's health as much improved. The Government contract steamer line, Capt. Farmer, leaves this afternoon for London, with the follow ing military passengers :—Capt. Hewitt, 2d batta lion 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, Mrs. and Miss Hewitt; Mrs. Montagu, wife of Colonel Montagu, Royal Engineers, 1 child, and servant ; Lieut. Wil son, 2d battalion, 15th Regiment, Lieut. Dawson, ditto, Aesist.-Surg. Hinton, ditto; Mr. Ward, Pur veryor's department, and son ; 1 sergeant, 32 men, 4 women, and 10 children, of various regiments ; and two other contract passengers. A Government survey was held on board this vessel yesterday, when the surveyors reported most favourably on the accommodation provided. Capt. W. Brett, private and military secretary to his Excellency the Governor, leaves this evening by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's packet Massilia for Eng land, via Marseilles. It, is reported that his depar ture is connected with the proposed naval dock to be constructed at Malta, about which papers have been asked for in Parliament, and explanations re quired. Capt. Sir William Fairfax, aide-de.catno to the Governor, quitted this island on the lstinst. by the Vectis, on leave. A letter received by our Chatham correspondent from on board the iron-clad frigate Royal Oak, de scribes the performance of that vessel in the run from Chatham to Spit head as being in the highest degree satisfactory. After leaving the Nor° all the fires were lighted and the vessel was put at full speed, when, notwithstanding a strong head wind (force 5 to 7) and a heavy rolling sea, the iron-clad attained a speed of 11 knots an hour, and that too against a strong breeze. The Royal Oak's ateerieg qualities are described as excellent. Although the sea broke completely over her bows in the run down channel, she exhibited scarcely any pitching or rolling. The ventilation of the ship gives the most complete satisfaction, the engine-room, toge ther with the aft and forward stoke-holes, having remained very cool. In order to meet the requirements at Chatham dockyard for the construction of those iron vessels in progress, as well as those intended to be built at that establishment, directions have been received from the Admiralty for two additional planing ma chines to be erected at the dockyard by Messrs. Brown and Co., to be used in preparing the slabs of iron for encasing the exterior of the iron vessels. The same firm has also received orders from the Ad miralty to construct a pair of overhead travellers for lifting the armour-plates and other heavy por tions of the iron ships, the cost of the additional machinery being close upon £5,000. A notification has been received at Chatham Dockyard that an examination of candidates for the vacant appointment of master smith will be held at Sheerness Dockyard on Thursday next. The following appointments were made yes terday at the Ad miralty Commander S. P. Brett to be Inspecting Commander of the Coastguard, vice Commander C. J. Austen, superseded at his owr, request. Captain W. J. S. Pullen, additional to the Terror, f r surveying service. Captain Hon. G. D. Kean, additional to the Cumberland, for service at the naval barracks at Sheerness. Captain E. W. Tumour, to the Charybdis, vice Keane. Edmund A. Rowe, paymaster, additional, to the Presi dent. Sub-Lieutenant Pearson C. Johnstone, to the Edgar. H. S. Deg, assistant-engineer, to the Cumberland, as supernumerary, T. C. Ford, to the Indus, for Hospital. An ancient urn, containing 25U Roman coins, was recently found by a labourer at Farringford, in the Isle of Wight, the seat of Alfred Tennyson. The coins were of brass, some of them silvered over, and mostly of the time of Gallineup. Will this (asks the Reader) " find".on the poet laureate's estate supply any hints for a description of Roman Britain in his " Boadicea" or in any other poem ? ORIGIN OF SOME OF OUR OLD SIGNS.--The Plum and Feathers (originally the Plume of Feathers, or the Prince of Wales), the Cat and Wheel (St. Catherine's Wheel), the Bull and Gate (the Boulogne Gate), the Iron Devil (La Hirondelle), the Billy Ruffian (Bellerophon), the Rose of the Quarter Sessions (Rose de quatre seasons), Wnile at Chesterford, it was the permanent annoyance of the late Dr. Blomfield every Easter day that a stream of carriages was passing through the vil lage, giving it the appearance, and too much of the reality, of a noisy fair, while conveying the racing men of the day to Newmarket. It was only slowly that the Jockey Club was induced to alter the first day of the meeting to Easter Tuesday. The Duke of York, when applied to on the sub ject by Bishop Howley, declined to alter his practice, but added that," Though it WAS true he travelled to the races on Sunday, he always had a Bible and Prayer-book in the carriage 1" ROYALTY IN THE RAIN.—I didn't want my boots cleaned. I was long past any such attempt at de cency. O'Hone was equally reckless; and so, splashed to our eyes, we male our way to the course. Just as wo reached the Grand Stand, a rather shabby carriage dashed up to the door, and a howl of damp welcome announced that Youthful Royalty had arrived. Youthful Royalty, presently emerg ing in a Mackintosh coat, with a cigar in its mouth, proved so attractive that any progress in its immediate vicinity was impossible ; so O'Hone and I remained tightly jammed up in a crowd, the component parts of which were lower, worse, and wickeder than I have ever seen. Prize fighters, not the aristocracy of the ring; not those gentry who are "to be heard of," or whose money is ready ; not those who are always expressing in print their irrepressible desire to do battle with Konky's Novice at catch-weight, or have an " Unknown" perpetually walking about in great coat, previous to smashing the champion—not these, but elderly flabby men with flattened noses and flaccid skins and the seediest o f great- coats buttoned over the dirtiest of Jerseys —racing touts, thin, wiry, sharp-faced little men with eyes strained and bleary from constant secret watching of racers' gallops—dirt, battered tramps, sellers of cigar-lights and c'rect cards—pickpockets, shifty and distrustful, with no hope of a harvest from their surroundings—and " Welshers," who are the parody on Tattersall's and the Ring, who are to the Jockey Club and the Enclosure what monkeys are to men—poor pitiful varlets in greasy caps and tattered coats, whose whole wardrobe would be sneered at in Holywell-street or Rag Fair, and who yet are perpe• tually bellowing, in hoarse ragged tones, " I'll bet against the field I" "I'll bet against Li-bellous I" "I'll bet against the Merry Maid I" " I'll bet against any one, bar one I" Nobody seemed to take their bets, nobody took the slightest notice of their offers, and yet they bellowed away until the race was run, in every variety of accent—in Cockney slang, in Yorkshire harshness, in Irish brogue. These were the only members of the crowd thoroughly intent on their busi ness; for all the rest youthful Royalty had an immense attraction.—Dickens's "All the Year Bound." DEPLORABLE DEATH.—Yesterday morning Mr. H. Rafflcs Walthew, deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the Duke of York Tavern, High-street, Shadwell, respect ing the death of George Crudgenton, aged 68 years. De ceased was a coalwhipper, and had been for some time out of employ, and had become debilitated, from consequent hardships, He got employment on Thursday, on board the Bro , hers, lying in the Pool. He fainted after a few hours' labour, and was placed by his "g an g -mates" on the kelson, while they considerately went on with his share b o t the work. When he recovered, he said, hangm d t one do ; m u I will not see my mates imposed upon by l ix o tons o y f work," and he actually set to work and raiseds coal. He then said, "It is all over with me, and he fell apparently dead- Dr. Ross said that ewa sent for and t h h is at i d ,a e in ce tw as g ed was dead. If he had not gone s to work after as described his life might not have been sacrificed. The immediate cause of death was effusion of blood to the brain from the severe labour and the heat acting on his delicate state. Verdict accordingly. GENERAL BUTLER. —There are reports in New York that General Butler is to supersede General Burnside, and that he will be entrusted with the enforcement of the draft and the organisation of the negro regiments in the States west of the Alleghanies. This last will be no trifling r task, if Mr. Stanton's expectations ar e rea li sed, for he asser ts that before many weeks are passed there will be 200,000 negro troops in the service. FIRE AT THE HOUSES OF PARMA- MENT. Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock the utmost consternation and alarm were experiel:f.'4. l d by the mem bers of • the select committees of the Houses of Lords and Commons sitting to consider various private and other bills, as well as the witnesses attending them, at the announcement that a fire had broken out in the build • ing and was then burning. As may naturally be supposed, a general panic ensued, and numerous members left their other duties to ascertain the truth of this announcement, of which they were soon able to satisfy themselves from the strong smell of charred wood which prevailed throughout the corridor of the building. It turned out on inquiry that a waiter belonging to the refreshment department of the House of Commons, on passing from the library to the members' tea-room, observed smoke issuing very near to the latter from the wooden roof, and imme diately afterwaris the flames burst through with great fury. He immediately communicated this to police-constable Home, 12 C, who gave an alarm, and obtained the assistance of the police on duty in the other parts of the building, and he immediately set to work, applied the hose, and turned on the water with which the mains are constantly charged, and applied it with such effect that the flames were soon subdued, and no further mischief was apprehended. The corridor leading from the House of Commons to the Lords' committee rooms were flooded with water, and but for such prompt means of action there can be little doubt that the whole of the corridor, as well as thr,se above, would soon have fallen a prey to the flames. When the flames were extinguished, Mr. Kelly, the acting man under Mr. G. Gurney, to whom the ventilation of the Houses of Parliament are entrusted, made an examination of the seat of the outbreak, when it was found that a brick flue from the kitchen passes over the wood roof of the corridor, and that by some means a brick had become displaced, and by the opening and draught the heat had communicated to the woodwork near it, and having no doubt been for some time subjected to it, had thus taken fire. It was deemed prudent to make a strict examina tion to ascertain if the fire had extended to any other portion of the space between the wooden roof and base alluded to, and the flooring of the corridorabove it, and seve ral of the officers connected with the gas department were sent down the trapdoors to see if there were any other parts on fire, but, after a diligent search, it was reported Gila it had been confined to the place where it originated, and no further danger was to be apprehended. CRIME IN FRANCE. A murder was committed two days ago at Perignac (Charente -Inter ieure) by three individuals, a man, his wife, and their son, on the person of an old woman residing in that place. The deceased was known to be possession of 1,500 fr., and it was to obtain that sum that they strangled her. They were however disappointed in their expecta tions of obtaining the money, as they only found 50fr., the remainder being hidden in the garret. The three were arrested, and the father has since henged himself. The Imperial Court at Angers has just given judgment on an appeal from a sentence of the correctional tribunal of Le Mans, of the 24th April last, by which a young man named Gaston D—, the son of most respectable parents, was condemned to a year's imprisonment and 60fr. fine, for cheating at cards. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who possesses an income of 5,000 fr. a year, has for some time past been much addicted to gambling, and has lost and won important sums at Homburg and other German watering places. He was also a member of the Cercle de I'Union at Le Mans, and was there noted as a bold and generally successful player. In the winter of 1861, however, some members of the club began to suspect that his winning was not always the result of mere chance, and several persons who watched him soon discovered that he had a peculiar manner of arranging the cards when he held the bank at baccarat, so that he always had the winning cards at his disposal when he wanted them, but owing to the respectability of his friends no one liked to expose him. Emboldened by his past suc cesses, he resumed his old practices this last winter, and won considerably during February and March. On the sth of the last-named month, when playing with Count de C—, a cavalry officer, and six other persons, he was caught in the act of placing cards at the top of the pack which he had previously arranged to make his winning certain. Count de C—, who had lost 4,000 f., denounced his proceedings to the president of the cercle, and after a careful investigation of the charges against him, he was requested to send in his resignation as a member. He did so, but at the same time sent challenges to Count de C— and the other six gentlemen with whom he had played on the sth March, They all retused to meet a person who had ;teen guilty of such dishonourable conduct, and the whole matter having come to the knowledge of the law authorities, proceedings were commenced against him, which ended in the condemnation above mentioned. Against this sentence be now appealed, but the Court, after going through the evidence and hearing counsel, declared that it mtitt be confirmed, and condemned him to pay all expenses. The Court of Assizes of the Seine tried, the day before yesterday, an hotel-keeper named Rouffignat, on a charge of having stolen a bond worth 500 f. from the trunk of a person lodging in his house ; he was also charged with for gery in having signed a false name when he sold the said bond. In December last, Mlle. Jozeau and her sister, Mme. Charpentier, came to Paris from Ruffec, and took up their abode in the hotel kept by the prisoner in the Rue du Vert- Bois. They had with them a large trunk, close by two locks, in which was a pocket-book containing several railway obligati , us. When they lett Paris on the 18th of December, Mlle. Jozeau observed that the keys did not turn in the locks so easily as usual, but she had no suspicion that any one had been tam pering with them, and returned home without mentioning the fact to the landlord. In January, however, when the interest on her bonds fell due, she found that one of them, No. 877,734, had been abstracted from the pocket-book. She then remembered the state of the locks on leaving Paris, and felt no doubt they had been picked or opened with false keys. She accordingly wrote to Rouffignat, informing him of the robbery, but receiving no reply she requested the railway administration to stop the obligation if it should be presented. ohortlyafterwards a person applied to claim the interest, and the bond was stopped. During the inquiry which followed it was disco vered that the prisoner, under the •false name of Roger, had sold it through the medium of an agent de change. He was accordingly arrested, and, after denying all knowledge of the bond, confessed that he found it on the floor of the room after Jozeau's departure, and had sold it "in a moment of irreflection." The prosecutrix, however, positively de clared that she had never opened the pocketbook in the hotel, and therefore could not have dropped the bond. The signature to the receipt given op the agent de change was clearly proved to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, and this, in addition to his own partial confession, fully satis fied the jury, who at once brought in a verdict of guilty, and the court sentenced him to two years' imprisonment with 100 fr. fine. _ The Tribunal of Correctional Police was engaged three days last week in trying M. Montluc, Mexican Consul- General in Paris; M. Rodriguez, a Mexican Professor of languages; M. Bone, professor; M. Laverriere, professor of agriculture ; and M. Maneyro, Mexican Consul at Havre, on charges of keeping up secret intelligence with persons abroad for the purpose of exciting hatred against the Emperor Napoleon's Government. In answer to ques tions put by the President, M. Montluc declared that all he had said or written war intended solely to make known in France the real state of affairs in Mexico, and to allay the ill-feeling which existed between the two States. Boue and Laverriere acknowledge that they had been paid for their writings in favour of Mexico, but pro tested against the charge of having acted from hos tility to France. M.

CRACOW, May 31.. You have heard that on May 15 Padlewski shot at Plock. A few days before his execution he was taken before Gen. Semeka, and is said to have received the most splendid offers of advancement in. the Russian army if he would return to the insur— gents and prevail upon them to lay down their arms. Padlewski replied that his previous life did not justify the Russians in making such a proposal to him, and moreover that the General made a great mistake if be thought any one chief possessed the power of staying the insurrection, which existed in all parts of Poland, and would go ou increasing until the country was liberated. He auded that if he were set free he should feel it his duty to rejoin his detachment at once, and asked Gen. Seweka, whether, if Moscow were in arms against the Ter tars he should not behave as he (Padlewski) had i behaved in Poland. The General's reply, of course, is not given. After Padleweki had been condemned to death his sentence was kept a profound secret, and a report was even spread that he was not to be shot, it being feared (as is alleged) that the insur gents would attack the town of Plock and endeavour to liberate bite. However, at 4 o'clock on the morn.- ing of the 15th he was brought out for execution. He had taken the Sacrament some days before, and it had been arranged at his particulpr request that he should not have his eyes bandaged. He stood facing the soldiers on the edge of his grave, and, until the last moment, smoked a cigar. He said as he took up hi s twenty-seven, b u t th a t his death would not b e i n position that it wa s sad to die at vain. The order to fire was given, and Padlewski received 12 bullets in the legs and lower part of the body. A soldier was sent forward to despatch him, and almost before his convulsions were at an end he was thrown into the grave and the earth shovelled over him. Padlewski, like Langiewicz, Bentkowski, and so many of the chiefs who have distinguished them selves in the Polish insurrection, belonged to one of the scientific branches of his profession, and besides his commission in the Russian army, held a Pro fessorship at the Military Academy of St. Peters burg. He was at Warsaw the night of the forced recruiting, followed the fugitives to the woods, and took the command of the first regular band of in surgents that was formed. A Russian officer, writing to the Buski Invalid (popularly known as the Invalide .Russe—RS if it were likely that the organ of the Russian army would be published in the French language) gives an account, which does him infinite credit, of Nar butt's last battle, and dwells with admiration on the heroism shown by the Lithuanian insurgents throughout the action. Narbutt was killed, and the Russians, to prove they were not insensible to the high qualities he had displayed, and as a mark of sympathy for his followers, gave up his body; and it is said were even represented at his funeral. What would the Russians have done with Narbut if he had lived ? To give up a dead body is, after all. not much, and to know what the sympathy of the Russians is worth one would like to see them show some mercy to the living. Another Lithuanian chief as brave and as devoted as Narbutt has fallen, wounded, but alive, into the hands of the Russians, and as it is feared the injuries he has received may not be mortal, his numerous friends are must anxi ous about his fate. An ordinary leader wounded as Sierakowski was would have allowed himself to be taken to the rear, but he insisted on being carried forward, and ultimately, his detachment being com pletely overpowered, was taken prisoner. He is now lying in a hospital, and when he gets better will doubtless be brought befora a court martial and accused as a deserrer from the Russian army. To enter the Russian army deliberately, and afterwards desert and fight against Russian troops would no doubt be a most serious offence, but Sierakowski has done nothing of the kind. He was taken when a boy from his native Lithuania and sentenced for some act of hostility to the Russian Government to serve as a common soldier in a re giment stationed at Orenburgh. For eight years he carried a musket. He was then made an officer, and, thanks to his superior abilities, soon obtained promotion, and became captain on the Staff and Pro fessor at one of the military collegesof St. Petersburg When the thousand-and-one commissions for re forming everything in the Russian Empire were established, Captain Sierakowski was appointed to the Commission for Military Affairs, and was sent to England, France, Prussia, and Austria, to report on the organization of the army and the institu tions connected with it in those countries. He spent a long time in England, had frequent inter views with the late Lord (then Mr. Sidney) Her bert, and was a constant attendant at the House of Commons whenever the subject of army reform was brought forward. He also visited our military academies, hospitals, reading-rooms, &c., and passed a week at the Staff College. At a cer tain international social scientific meeting, held in London, Captain Sierakowski proposed as a subject for discussion, " The moral effect on the soldier of corporal punishment ;" when some surprise was expressed at such a topic being brought forward by an officer in the Russian army. Nevertheless, this officer in the Russian army made the most earnest endeavours to get corporal punishment abolished in the service to which he belonged, and which he had been forced to enter; and it was owing in a great measure to his recommendation that the right of beating in an arbitrary manlier, and without the decision of a court-martial, was abolished. I have heard some Poles, very natural haters of the Russians, say in reference to the limi tation of stick law in the Russian army, " I am sorry for it; I only wish it had been extended to the officers ;" but Sierakowski sought to do good to those who had injured him, or rather did not con sider himself injured by the Russian army, and least of all by those with whom he had been com pelled to serve eight years in the ranks. I believe ihat when the insurrection in Lithuania broke out, Captain Sierakowski was in Warsaw, and that he was sent to Wilna on some mission by the Grand Duke, The temptation was too great for him. Ile was in his own country, saw his own p eo p le fight ing, and with the consent, if not by the express order of the National Government, hastened to place him selfb at the head of an insurgen t band, which h a d The rest been formed on the bor ders of Livo nia. rest is known. After gai nin g several brilliant vic tories he was at at last surrounded by an over whelming force, was him self badly wounded, and fell, still fighti n g , into the power of the enemy, in whose hands he now remains. • DESTRUCTIVE FlRES.—Sbortly before 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Barnett, a glass manufacturer and picture-frame dealer, m" Houndsditch.

PLAIN TRUTH.—Our pickets and the enemy's on Morris island (Charleston harbour) converse freely across the narrow creek which separates them, and minia ture vessels freighted with tobacco have been often sent to our aide with requests for reciprocal cargoes of coffee, the total want of which the rebels say is a source of great dise comfort to them. ~S ay, Yankee," was shouted across the river the other day, "baint yeti tired cf this war ?"
