MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. 5-11 CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. -- - ' There is not the slightest increase in the general inquiry for discount accommodation, the mercantile requirements heir g still very moderate. Some effect is produced by subscriptions to the new com panies, but as the available supplies are largely in excess of the total demand, the rates remain with out any material change. The average charge for first class bills is 34 per cent., but some choice de scriptions of short-dated paper can be negotiated at 31 per cent.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here, to-day, was very moderate. Good and fine qualities were in steady request, and prices ruled firm; but inferior produce com manded very little attention. The market was well supplied with granaried samples of foreign wheat. Most descriptions were in fair average de mand, and the quotations were steadily supported. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full Currencies. Malting barley was very firm, at extreme rates. Grind. ing and distilling sorts, however, changed hands slowly, al late rates. In malt, a moderate business was transacted, at previous currencies. For oats—the supply of which was very , moderate—there was a steady demand, and prices ruled firm. Beans and peas were without change in value from Mon day, but the inquiry for them was much restricted. The flour trade was steady, at full quotations. AILRITILLS - THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1863. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, Jan. 22. Sir George Cornewall Lewis arrived at Osborne yesterday, and had an audience of the Queen. Sir George Lewis returned to London to-day. Lady Napier has also left Osborne. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales remains ' at Sandringham Hall, Norfolk, extending his stay , longer than at first contemplated. His royal highness finds 1 plenty of shooting. On Wednesday their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Louis of Hesse joined a meet of the West Norfolk hounds (Mr. Villebois') at Houghton Park, the seat of the Marquis of Cholmondeley, and once the famous residence of Sir Robert Walpole. The noble marquis was not, however, in Norfolk to offer any hospitality. There was a large field, numbering nearly .500. The Prince of Wales drove from Sandringham to Houghton, where his Royal Highness mounted his hunter and joined the field. Prince Louis remained in his car riage. The Prince of Wales was throughout the run in the first flight, but after a run of an hour and a half the fox got into Sandringham woods, where he was lost. The day was a very fine one, and the neighbourhood turned out in large numbers. The next meet is at Ashwicken, ab tut three miles from Lynn, and it is expected that the Prince will again be present. THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. — Yesterday afternoon an influential town's meeting was held at Norwich, the Mayor presiding, to concert festivities on the approaching marriage day of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Among those present were the Bishop of Norwich, the High Sheriff of Norfolk (Mr. R. J. H. Harvey), the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Norwich, Mr. J. H. Gurney, M.P., the Sheriff of Norwich (Mr. J. J. Colman) the Rev. Canon Heaviside, &c. The Bishop of Norwich moved the first resolution, to the effect that with a view of expressing the loyalty and attachment of the citizens of Norwich to her most gracious Majesty, and the affectionate feeling entertained by them towards his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the day appointed for his marriage with the Princess Alexandra be observed in Norwich as a general holiday, and that suitable festivi ties and enjoyments be provided for all classes. The Sheriff of Norwich seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The High Sheriff of Norfolk stated that it was proposed to have in the morning a review of all the troops in the neighbourhood. Later in the day the Sheriff of Norwich proposed to give a dinner to the aged poor in the Corn Exchange, while it was contemplated to provide by subscription an entertainment to all the children attending the charity and Sunday schools in the city ; and in the evening it was intended to have an illumination and bonfire, and the Mayor would receive the principal citizens at a ball in Et. Andrew's-hall. The High 3heriff expressed his complete approval of these arrangements, and stated that the Prince of Wales had recently expressed to him his deep interest not only in the county of Norfolk, but also in the city of Norwich, and he was s ure that the citizens would do their best to display a loyal and affectionate feel ing towards his Royal Highness. The Dean of Norwich and other gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting, and a committee was appointed and a subscription commenced to carry out the objects contemplated. _ His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will return to town on Monday or Tuesday from Sandringham, Count Gleichen (Prince Victor of Hohenlohe) has been staying at Sandringham during the last few days on a visit to his Royal Highness. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are receiving a select party at Hatfield House, Herts. Frances Anne Marchioness of Londonderry con tinues indisposed at Wynyard Park, where the Countess of of Portarlington still remains. The Earl and Countess of Darnley have arrived in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, from Cobham Hall, Kent. The Earl and Countess of Craven leave town to day, for Combe Abbey, Coventry. Lord de Lisle and Dudley, the Hon. Mrs. Lid dell, Lord Methuen, and the Hon, Mr. and Mrs. Mines have left the St. George's Hotel. Viscount and Viscountess Sidmouth and Lady Augusta Onslow are staying at the Pavilion Hotel, Folke stone. Marriage of Marshal Canrobert. (From the _Paris Corespondent of the Queen.) A marriage, which for some time past has been in the mouths of all circles of Parisian society, and has cense qu.ently gone through the habitual phases of discussion, cri ticism, blame, and comments of all sorts which, it would appear, are the inevitable concomitants whenever two peo ple, of any note or station, are about to be joined for life, and incur the varied chances of matrimony, came off on Monday morning at the British Embassy. Marshal Canrobert, one of the French heroes of the Crimean cam paign, was there married to a Miss Macdonald, one of our own countrywomen, a young lady whose youth and beauty are said to constitute her chief dower. Besides our ambassa dor Lord Cowley, Lady Cowley and her daughter were pre sent, as well as some 60 personages, friends of the bride and the illustrious General. Several of his brother officers, and four or five Marshals of the Empire—among whom were Marshals Bandon, Vaillant, and Niel—attended on the oc casion. The match is entirely one of love, and, if we may believe reports, it would appear that imperial counsels had not been wanting, at an earlier stage of the affair, to dis suade the gallant General from an alliance whichbrought a less heavily-dowered bride than is usually sought for among Frenchmen, to fill the conspicuous position of Mare chale at the luxurious Court of the Second Empire. But the Marshal was firm, and held his own idea, that he had as good a right to please himself in this matter as his Impe rial master had on a former occasion displayed in his own case ; and so the course of true love once again prevailed over etiquette and more worldly motives. Whatever may have been the Emperor's opinion and early advice, they may be supposed to have yielded before this determination, as a few days previous to that fixed on for the wedding, his Ma jesty and the Empress sent the future Marechale a magnifi cent riviere of diamonds, with many expressions of cordial good wishes. The young lady is an orphan, her father having fallen, it is said, in the Indian mutiny. She is exceedingly pretty and graceful, though somewhat delicate•looking—at least so she appeared under the folds of the rich Brussels lace veil which draped her slender figure. Her dress was com posed of a magnificent dress and tunic of the same costly ma terial, worn over taffetas, and a wreath of orange flowers and white lilacs, in the shape of a coronet, formed her head dress. All the gentlemen present, though the majority were military,wore plain evening costumes,enliv ened, bowever,by many stars and decorations. The ladies Wellesley, who ap peared on intimate terms with the bride, wore dresses of taf fetas, of the shade called violette deParme, trimmed with black lace and paesementerte, and white tulle bonnets, with bouquets of Parma violets, mingled with black lace. After the usual amount of signatures and congratulations had been gone through, the happy couple had to repair to the Senate, where the nuptial benediction was pronounced by the Abbe Castaing, formerly chaplain to the Marshal, in the presence of the President of the Senate, the Grand Referendary, and other high public functionaries of the Empire. The civil marriage had taken place the previous day at the Mairie of the Elysde; so that no less than three distinct ceremonies had to be accomplished before the knot could be supposed to be duly and irrevocably tied. We (Manchester Guardian) are informed that Mr. W. P. Frith, R.A,, well known as the painter of " The Derby Day," and ether pictures, has received her Majesty's commands to take for the subject of a large work the approaching wedding of the Prince of Wales. THE DISTRESS IN COVENTRY AND NORTH WAR WICKSHIRE.—We (Birmingham Gazette)are grati fied to bo able to announce that her Majesty the Queen, ever ready to show practical sympathy with the sufferings of her subjects, has generously forwarded £3OO for the relief of the distress in North Warwickshire and Coventry, to be divided between the two existing funds. We have already recorded the gift of £250 from hie Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to be applied in a similar manner. THE FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCE.—HYDRO PHOBIA.—The Actdemy of Sciences has received a paper from M. Renault on the time during which hydro phobia may be in a state of incubation. Our readers may recollect-that in April last M. Renault proposed the per manent muzzling of all dogs not chained or kept within doors, and the immediate destruction of any dog suspected of having been bit by a mad one. He also showed that at Berlin hydrophobia had almost become extinct by these measures. Struck with this fact, the police of Paris shortly afterwards ordered the muzzling of all dogs left at liberty:; but the order was very negligently executed, inasmuch as many muzzles wo►e of indiarubber, and were insufficient to prevent dogs from biting, moreover the measure soon fell into disuse, and unmuzzled dogs are now seen roaming freely in the streets. M. Renault shows, that if on the one auth e o t ri hand the police regulations require the owner of any dog who may happen to have been bit, or suspected of having not. been so, to keep him under strict observation for a time not i T n eeding 40 days; although in most instances the order executedetso complied with at all, and no step is taken by the to h security ascertain lceuttreirt whether 40 dayss b i y t has far t been s executed hort a p period to o d r But our author contends that even were the order phobia, and describeYs for complete aagainst the incubation of hydro phobia, of experiments made by him since 1836 at the which it appears that during e 2 r 4 inarY ars he had examined 131 dogs, which he had caused to bitbeeyeSchool of Alfort, from four months. before his eyes by mad 68 B hatever dogs, and then kept separate for the s Out of this number, 63 presented no symptoms of at the end of that time ; and of the remaining than 31 displayed symptoms of the disorder aftegr theo4lOotshs day, and that out of these, one was seized with hydro ' phobia after the 118th day, three after the 80th, seven after ) the 70th, and eighteen after the 60th day.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) BROWN V. BROWN AND DEACON. This was a petition presented by the husband against the wife for dissolution of marriage. The Rev. Mr. Moseley, curate of St. Augustine-the-Less, Bristol, proved the marriage of the petitioner with the re spondent on the 24th June, 1840. Miss Crutwell, the sister of Mrs. Brown, said she re collected her coming to Bath in 1858. She stopped there two or three months, but afterwards she went to Clifton, where she (witness) visited her, but at that moment she could not recollect the name of the street. She saw her while she was living at Avon-terrace, Clifton. She also knew Mr. Jas. Deacon, and she had seen him frequently with her sister. Once on the College-green, Bristol. That was the first time she saw him, but afterwards she met him at Clifton, but it was not in Avon-terrace. By the Judge—She could not recollect the house or the name of the place she saw Mr. Deacon. He came in after she arrived. Cross-examined—When she first saw Mr. Deacon he was introduced to her by that name by her sister. Mr. Deacon did not remain with her sister while she was there. He only stopped a few moments. The next time she corre sponded with her sister was while she resided at the Isle of Man. She had seen Mr. Deacon at Bath since that, about a twelvemonth ago. Her sister was not with him, but he was waiting for her. She could not recollect whether it was in a house or about. The witness afterwards said she recollected it was at her own house. Mr. Deacon came to the door, but did not come in. He left word that he was waiting for her sister. She told her that Mr. Deacon had been there and left a newspaper, when her sister said she was ready to go out, and she did so. She had been staying there some time. Witness was not well acquainted with Mr. Deacon, but she had seen him fre quently. He used to call her by her Christian name Mary, but never with her sanction. She always called him Mr. Deacon, and not James. While her sister was at the Isle of Man and other places she - corresponded with her, but witness invariably destroyed the letters. Her sister always signed her letters "J. D." She did not know the meaning of such a signature, but she guessed the reason. She never corresponded with her while she was living at Bessborough place, but the respondent told her she had given her address there. All the lettere were signed "J. D." She was in communication with respondent while she lived in Stafford-place, Pimlico. She did not see Mr. Deacon when she went there. He certainly was not liv ing with her there. Her sister saw Mr. Deacon fre quently, but he did not come there while she was there. By the Judge—She knew that Mr. Deacon was residing with her sister as her husband. Examination continued—Mr. Deacon had told her that he was residing with her sister. Proof of the service of the citation and the petition on the parties having been given, His Lordship said he thought he ought to know more about the terms upon which Mr. and Mrs. Brown resided after marriage, He could not grant relief in the case with out marriage p l a ce in 1840, the separation occurred in hearing i tookn 1858, and surely it was necessary the court should know something of the interval. The parties bad not resided for all those years on a desolate island. They mast have come in contact with some one, As it stood, it really appeared a very curious case. The son of the petitioner was then called, but he could only say that the separation was by mutual consent for a short time, and that his parents always lived happily together, His Lordship granted a rule nisi, with costs ; remarking, at the same time, that it was altogether an odd story. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE BLACLIE AND BEHR. In this case the bankrupts are described as of Pimlico and Finsbury, timber and veneer merchants, and this was an application on the part of Dr. Behr, who joined the bankrupt Blache in partnership with the view of carrying out some scientific improvement. The balance sheet by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, shows debtor to creditor, £14,60 1 ; creditor, by good debts, £730, property given up, £6,863. Mr. Sargood said that the only complaint against the bankrupt was excessive expenditure, but as he was not a man of business, perhaps a short suspension of the order of discharge for three months would be sufficient. Mr. Lawrence said that Dr. Behr had unfortunately em barked in a trade of which he knew nothing; and looking at his position in life, some excuse could be found for his large expenditure, chiefly on his family, and to advance his son in the world as a civil engineer. His personal expenses had been very small. As a trader the expenditure was large, and was open to some remark. He (Mr Lawiance), there fore, considered the suspension proposed would satisfy all parties, as there was no imputation on Dr. Behr. Order made accordingly with protection. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) IMPORTANT CASE 'UNDER THE CARRIERS ' ACT.--WALCOTT V. 01-IA.PLIN AND HORNE. This was an action to recover 44 damages, for delay in the delivery it a certain parcel entrusted to the defendants for carriage. Mr. Hubert Wood appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Edwards for defendants. Mr. Wood said that his client was the inventor of a patent knife-sharpener, and was in the habit of attending agricultural shows. In November last plaintiff went to the Brighton show, and bis wares took very well. A parcel was sent to him there, and the defendants were employed as the carriera, it being understood that there was to be im mediate delivery, as the show was about closing. The parcel was not dal) delivered, thence the present action. Mr. Edwards—This is really a monstrous claim. My clients are not liable, but the Brighton Railway Company, by whom I am also instructed, are perfectly willing to com pensate plaintiff in any reasonable sum. In fact, if we could have found plaintiff your honour would never have been troubled with this case. Now here Mr. Walcott says he had six dozen sharpeners sent to him, and he puts in his bills that he will sell them at 10s. per dozen. That is only 13, and he claims £4. His Honour—lt is perfectly clear that plaintiff cannot claim consequential damages in a case of this kind. It is quite preposterous to suppose that defendants are to be liable in the whole value of the goods ; and how ara I to say what is reasonable? Mr. Wood—We lost the sale. His Honour—An action in trover will not lie, though one in detinue might, but I suppose you are ready to deliver the parcel ? Mr. Ed wards—Perfecey. His Honour—Then, I think £1 damages will meet the merits of the case, and I may add that it is nonsense to bring actions for such an amount of damages. Verdict for plaintiff for £1 damages. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. AMERICA. (Per the Anglo Saxon via Londonderry.) NEW YORK, JAN. 9. The Confederate army withdrew from Murfreesboro' in good order to Tulle Orne, and was at Shelbyville on the sth inst. A Richmond despatch of the 6th says that, by this move ment, General Bragg has thrown East Tennessee entirely over to the Yankees, and that if Rosecranz once gets pos session there 200,000 men will not be able to dislodge him. A week of desperate fighting at Vicksburg has termi nated in the defeat of the Federals. The attack was most determined, and the resistance obstinate in the extreme. The Federals fought to within two miles of the city at one time, but wore driven back by a superior force, under General Joseph Johnston ; whole regiments and brigades fought hand to hand, and batteries and forti- fications were taken and retaken several times. The fortifications extend for six miles in the rear of the city, and were defended by upwards of 60,000 men, a large portion of whom were suddenly concentrated upon the point. The latest accounts represent that the Federal forces re turned to their transports in no condition to renew the at tack. The Federal loss is upwards of 5,000. Among the officers slain are Generals Morgan and Smith. One thousand five hundred Federals under General Horey, sent to execute a special order, are supposed to have been captured. The Confederate loss is not known. Six thousand Confederates under Generals Banbridge and Marmaduke, with six pieces of artillery, are reported to be advancing upon Springfield, Missouri. Confederate accounts state that Trenton, Union City, and Humboldt, Mississippi, had been captured by the Con federates, with 2,000 prisoners and two cannon, and that the railroad from Jackson to Columbia had been de- stroyed. It is again positively asserted that General Burnside has finally resigned tho command of the army of the Potomac, and that he is succeeded by General Hooker. President Davis addressed the Mississippi Legislature a Jackson on the 26th, He had predicted from the beginning a fierce war, though it had assumed more gigantic pro portions than he had calculated upon. He was emphatic in his declaration that under no circumstances would he consent to reunion with the most depraved, intolerant, tyrannical, hated people on the earth. He alluded briefly to the transfer of the war to Northern soil, but stated the failure to do this proceeded not from a want of inclination, but of power. He insisted that both Port Hudson and Vicksburg should be defended to the last extremity, and that neither would fall into the power of the enemy if the people were true to themselves. Though the extent and duration of the war had exceeded his expectations, he be lieved final success was absolutely certain. He asserted that the South had a right to recognition, but it had not come, and his advice was, " Put not your trust in princes, nor rest your hopes upon foreign nations." The Richmond Examinerunhesitatingly declines the parti cipation of the Seceded States in a national convention, as suggested at the meeting of the Democratic Association of New York, in Dec, and asserts that peace can only be re stored upon a bas's of an acknowledgment of the independ ence of the Confederacy. Governor Seymour's message, de livered on the 7th inst., gives general satisfaction. It strongly denounces the recent arbitrary arrests and the general policy of the Administration—admonishes the sheriff and district attorneys, and threatens to punish any violation of the States' statutes. In regard to Mr. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama tion, ho argues that since the President had already signed an Act of Congress, confiscating the slaves of rebels—its sole effect is to declare the emancipation of the slaves of loyal citizens. He condemns both acts as impolitic, un just, and unconstitutional, and calculated to prevent the restoration of the Union. In conclusion he declares that the interests of the country are indivisible, and that the Union must be restored, but doubts whether war alone can accomplish that end without conciliation of the Southern people and every guarantee of the constitutional rights. The Committee of Ways and Means had reported a bill authorising Secretary Chase to issue 100,000,000 of United States Bonds for the support o: the Government. General Butler has de lined a public dinner proposed to be given to him by his admirers in New York. The premium on gold is 371, 1 per cent. lower than this morning. JANUARY 1() P.S. There was great excitement in Wall-street yester day. All stocks advanced considerably. Pacific Mail in creased 8 per cent. over sales of day before.

A singular and suspicious case of poisoning was brought to light in Hull on Tuesday last, at an in quest held touching the death of a respectable widow named Catherine Ann Hallett, who died suddenly at her residence in Davis-street, Bond street, on Saturday last, from the effects of an ad ministration of opium. It appears that the deceased, who was a sempstress in the employ of Mr. Wilbe, merchant tailor, Whitefriargate, on New Year's Eve had been present at a temperance festival, and re turned home in a perfect state of health, and, as stated by the witnesses, sober. Shortly after her return, her opposite neighbour, Mr. George South wick, grocer, went to her house, and asked permis sion to bring in a table which he wanted to secure from bailiffs. As he was in liquor at the time, she said she would go across and fetch it herself. She did so. As soon as she entered Sonthwick's shop, he invited her inside, and asked her to take a glass of back beer. She declined the offer, but, after repeated requests and frequent protestations on the part of Southwick that there was no spirit in it, as she was a teetotaller, she drank it. She had no sooner swallowed it than she was taken ill, be gan to vomit, and shortly afterwards became insen sible. Southwick then summoned the assistance of his neighbours, and said the deceased was ill from drink. They believed her to be intoxicated, and assisted him in putting her to bed. Late on is the day of the 2d inst., not appearing to improve, the neighbours advised Southwick to procure medical assistance. He went for Dr. Kelburne King, who attenced, and after making minute examination of her appearance, ho pronounced her to have been poisoned with opium. He asked Southwick why he did not call him or some other medical gentleman before. Ho said he wished to do so, but the neigh bours thought she was merely drunk, that it would pass off, and they did not like to expose her. The doctor asked him if she had had any drink in his house. He answered, "A glass of beer and a glass of black-beer." Upon being questioned by the doctor as to whether he had administered any poison, he answered in a very incoherent manner, "I could not help it, I hope that nothing can be done to me for it." He appeared very much alarmed. Mrs. Hallett continued to linger—at times with soma hopes of recovery—until Saturday Let, when, in spite of emetics and other appliances, she expired. A port-mortem examination of the body was made on Tuesday morning, when the result of the medi cal testimony was that the deceased had died from an administration of opium. Southwick has since disappeared, and a warrant has already been ob tained for his apprehension. Pending his arrest, thu inquest was adjourned to the 11th of February. The United States Government has appointed Mr. Emery M'Clintock to be consular agent for that re public at Bradford, and on Tuesday last the Bradford Town Council passed a resolution formally recognising him in that capacity, in accordance with a request contained in a letter from the Home Secretary of State. 451 i• 42i 1331 3 _ 671 1 1091# 72 7 1 11 16% 41 40 2 n 2 98 71 1031 110 f 11} I 12 129 f 1I tot 1941 houses, and I intend repairing them throughout with a view to letting.

Mr. Combe--What interest have you in the property ? Witness—lf ray solicitor thinks 1 ought to answer, I've no objection to say. I claim a freehold. Examination continued—Whe n I went to the house Mrs. Cornich was amongst the crowd. A man was also there, with a crowbar in his hand. He was forcing the door. As soon as the door was "busted," there was a loud hurra, and a good many rushed in. The moment the door was forced, Mrs. Cornich said to me, "Now, show your title deeds." I treated the observation with silent contempt, (Laughter.) I was not going to produce title deeds in the street. (Laugh ter.) I got away as well as I could from the crowd, and went and told my solicitor, Mr. Meymott. 1 went to the house later in the evening and found a padlock on the door. I then got a smith and a carpenter, and by their aid I got into the house and fastened the door inside. After we had been thero a short time 1 heard a loud noise outside the door as of persons breaking into the place. The noise was like tremendous hammering. Volleys of large granite stones were then thrown in at the windows. .• _ Mr. Combe—Are there any windows left. 1 thought there were none ? (Loud laughter.) Witness—Well, there is the remains of them. (Laugh ter.) After the hammering had continued some time, and finding the door giving way, the carpenter, by my direc tion, opened it, and Mrs. Cornish entered, followed by a mob. I'm not a nervous woman, but I must confess I felt frightened when I looked out of the drawing-room window—(laughter)—and saw half the street was full of people. Fearing the riotous mob, I with the carpenter got out the house by the roof. (Laughter.) I left the smith in the house. (Laughter,) Cross-examined—l was not much hurt by the mob. I have heard that some pefssn has laid a claim to my pro perty. I've never heard the houses called the haunted houses. I live in them. Mr. Combe—Do you sleep in them P (Laughter.) Witness—Oh, no. (Laughter.) I live at No. 22. Re-examined—Mrs. Cornich has no right whatever to the property. Scroggs, the blacksmith, gave his version of the affair which was exactly to the same effect as that of Miss Reed. Mr. Russell said the carpenter would only prove the same facts, and therefore he did not think there was any need of examining him. Mr. Combe—Then you want the case to go to the Ses sions ? You would profer its going to the Court of Queen's Bench, but I have no power to send it there. Mr. Brough (for the defendant)—What is your applica tion. The principal question is one of title, and therefore it cannot be entered into here. Mr. Russell—That the defendant may be committed to abide any indictment that may be preferred against her. No doubt an indictment will be preferred for riot and for cible entry. _ . . Mr. Brough—But you, sir, don't order an indictment to be drawn up. Mr. Combo—No. I only bind the defendant over to meet the charge. Mr. Brough—You will take bail, of course, sir. Mr. Combe—Yes ; two sureties of £4O each. The son of the defendant said the sureties would bo in attendance as soon as possible. ward Lewis, Major, on half-pay, Unattached, has been permitted to retire from the service by the sale of his com mission, under the conditions of the Circular Memoran dum of Feb. 15.

While he (witness) was lying on the ground the prisoner seized him by the throat, and so pressed his knuckles into it that he was nearly choked. Mr. Knox asked what provocation the witness had given the prisoner, and the witness said that on one occasion his wife prevented the prisoner strangling his wife on the bed, and ever since he had entertained a grudge towards him and his wife. Mr. W. Davis, a gentleman residing at 31, Munster square, said that hearing the cry of " Murder," he ran out of a friend's house in Marylebone-street and pulled the prisoner off the witness: The prisoner at the time was doing his best to strangle the witness, and, but for his in terference, he believed he would have done so: Sarah Gaskin, wife of the first witness, proved being assaulted by the prisoner, and said the black eye she born was caused by the prisoner. She was only just out of her confinement. Mr. Davis said that the last witness's face was smothered with blood, and Mr. Nathaniel Wakeling, of Charlotte street, Fitzroy-square, proved seeing the prisoner knock the complainant and his wife down. A constable said that hearing cries of " Police,' he went to the spot and saw the prisoner s n the top of the first witness, nearly choking him. With the assistance of Mr. Davis the prisoner was dragged from the witness (Gaskin). He also observed the female's face covered with blood. Mr. Knox said it was as brutal and wanton an attack as he had ever heard of, and he should commit the prisoner for three months, with hard labour. WESTMINSTER.

It was a tine healthy child as any one vro, is to see when it went there, and now it is de plot .de to look at it. lqr. Arnold—Whet do you think was the matter with it ? Poor Woman—Starvation, and I cannot tell what has been done to its body.

Saccharometer would have found support, but the price was not deemed sufficient, but 10 to 1 would have met with a ready acceptance. 12 to 1 was the opening price of Hospodar, which did not ap pear to attract the attention of his friends, who stood out for a point over those odds ; late in the afternoon his stable companion, Jarnicoton, was introduced at 25 to 1, which was offered frequently without meeting with a reply. 700 to 25 was taken once about National Guard, and 1,000 to 15 each against Baldwin and Cairncastle.
