XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE o'Cfocx. In the general disoount market the tone is more favourable than might have been anticipated after the expected reduction in the official quotation no t having been made. The number of inquirers for ac commodation has slightly fallen off, and, as the available supplies of bankers and others are abun dant, first-class three months' bills can be negotiated at 67,- per cent. The Oneida has arrived, with £5,493 from the Brazils. The return issued by the Bank of England for t he Week to Wednesday last shows less favourable alterations than was expected. The reserve of notes and other securities have been diminished, 'while the bullion exhibits an increase of only £338,818, as will be seen by the following par ticulars Active Circulation .. £20,887,435 Increase .. • . 470,630 Bullion .. .. 14,052,761 Increase .. 338,818 Rest .. 3,254.547 Decrease .. 35,486 P ublic Deposits .. 8286,719 , Increase .. 315.716 Other Deposits.. 12,493,776 Decrease .. .. • • .. 388,266 Seven Day and other Bills .. 459,405 Increase . ** 8,063 Gov ernment Securities .. 11,072,267 Increase 287000 Ot her Securities .. 20,169 , 851 Decrease .. • . .. , 255,061 Notes Unemployed 7,147,585 Decrease .• .. • • .. 126,915 Messrs.

Two separate and special meetings were held to dv of the shareholders of the Imperial Financial Company awl of the Ne%castle Credit Association, for the purpose of confirming the resolutions for their amalgamation, and the necessary propositions in accordance with the Joint-stock Companies Act Were unanimously carried. CLOCK O'. A decli ne of per cent. has taken piece in the price of the Eng.ish Funds, consequent upon ad verse rumours of a political nature.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.) THE CUSTOM ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE-CLEAVE V. WATSON AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover £2, an alleged overcharge on commission plaintiff being a speculator, and defendants a firm of stockbrokers of Capel-court. Plaintiff said he instructed defendants to buy £2,000 consols for him, and there had been an overcharge. De fendants had charged 1-16th commission, instead of 1-32 d, as per contract. It was the custom to charge half commis sion where a special agreement was made. _ . One of the defendants said that his firm did business upon no such terms as those stated by plaintiff. No respectable stockbroker would think of charging I-32d. It could be amply proved that 1-16th was the customary half commis sion. Plaintiff—But I have here the contract in which express terms are set out. Defendant—And I produce the statement of my accounts with the plaintiff, in which your Honour will see that we have never charged less than 1.16 th commission. His Honour—l should think not. It does not seem likely. _ . . Defendant—lf any alteration has been made in the terms of the contract, it is an error on the part of one of our clerks, who clearly had no right to make it. Plaintiff—l go only upon your contract given after I had seen your advertisement, in which you agree to charge only halt commission. Defendant--And I may say that we have only charged that commission to Which we are justly entitled. No brokers would charge less than 1-16th. Plaintiff—You perfectly well know that I am entitled to pay only 1.32 d commission, and this defence is a little sharp practice on your part. Defendant—Here is the statement closing the account. His Honour—You have settled the matter, and now you try to get the money paid out of the pockets of the defen dants by means of the process of this court. Ido not think that defendants would consent to do business upon the terms you mention, Plaintiff—l hold in my hand the special contract signed on behalf of the defendants by one of their authorised clerks. In that contract there is an agreement to do the business for me upon the terms mentioned in it. Defendant • Shall I call my clerk ? His Honour—Oh, certainly. It does seem necessary, Defendant's clerk said that the contract put in originally stood at 1 IGth, but plaintiff requested that it should be altered to 1-32 d, and witness altered it in error. Defendant—As your Honour must know, the usual broker's commission is 1-Bth, and the half of that is 1-16th. This sum has been charged all through to plaintiff, and he has paid it. Our statement shows this, and we are pre pared to stand by it. Plaintiff--Will you swear that you never charged as little as 1-32 d on contango? Defendant—l do. I never charged less than 1-16th. His Honour—l find that defendant's clerk has explained the nature of the contract, which appears to be an error, and that the customary charges have been made. De fendant will have a verdict, Verdict for defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. CAUTION AGAINST INTERFERING WITH THE POLICE ATTEMPT TO RESCUE A PRISONER —James Paddock, coal porter, in the service of Messrs Sale & Co., coal mer chants, was charged before Mr Arnold with interfering with the police in the execution of their duty and with attempting to rescue a prisoner from the custody of a constab!e. Policeman 247 B, stated that about five o'clock in the afternoon of the previous day he was on duty in Brompton when he took a man into custody. The prisoner came up and asked him to let the man go, he refused to do so. Witness told him that if he interfered with him (witness) he should take him into custody. The prisoner then told the man to lie down on the pavement. When he dropped down, prisoner at the same time observed that he would not go away -anti' he had witness's namo and address. Witness subsequently had a struggle with the man in his custody. With the asssistance of another constable the prisoner was secured and taken to the police station. By Mr Arnold—The prisoner was drunk, and the man in my custody was charged with being drunk and incapable. Mr. Arnold (to the Prisoner)—Well, what have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner remarked that he thought the man in the cus tody of the police was one of his mates, but he found that he was in the employment of Messrs Ricketts and Smith. All he said to the constable was, " Are you going to lock him up ?" He (the constable) said, " You have nothing to do with it." Mr Arnold—When you found that the man was not your mate you should have gone away. B 299 corroborated the evidence, and eaid that when the prisoner ran away he want after him and took him into custody. Mr Arnold—You are convicted for an improper interfer • ence with the police in the execution of their duty. Prisoner was fined 405., or in default 14 days' imprison ment. AMERICA. (REUTER'S EIPRESS,) LIVERPOOL, Jane 2. The Inman screw steamer City of York, from New York on the evening of the 18th ult., arrived The following despa tc h f rom Secretary S tan t on here this afternoon, v Queenstown yesterday. to Major-General Dix, gives the latest information from the Army of the Potomac "Washington, 11lay 18, 11.15 a.m. g , We have no report of operations since my last despatch. The latest information from General Grant was that the roads had greatly improved. Large reinforcements had reached him, sod he de signed to move against the enemy without delay. "It is the design of the Government to keep up the national force until the rebellion is over thrown, and in elder to provide against any in opportune reduction when the service of the 100 dayb' men go out, a draft to flu up their place, and all other reductions, will be ordered to take place on the Ist of July, by which time the new enrol ments will be completed. "No order is yet issued," The following official despatch had been ad dressed to the Associated P ress by Secretary S ewar d in reference to the forg e d proclamation issue d i n the New York World : "Department of State, Washington, May 18. "A paper purporting to be a proclamation of the President, countersigned by the Secretary of Stat , and bearing date the 17th day of May, is reported to this department as havin g appeared in the New York World of this date. This paper is an absolute forgery. No proclamation of this kind or any other has been made, or proposed t o b e made, b y t h e Pre sident, or issued, or propos e d to be issue d , b y t h e State Department or any oth er d epartment o f thi s Government. " WILLIAM H, SEWARD, Secretary of State," The New York World has issued the following explanation of the appearance of the " bogus" proclamation in its columns " The World, in common with the Journal of Commerce and all the city morning papers, was m a d e t h e vict i m o f a ,walleon't around the extra. imitating the mani foldohfoat x i a e by A s s o s o m c e i a s t c o o d u n p d r r e e s l s , ordinary proclamation which appeared i n our co l umns. mal i c c i o o p u y s Supposing it was all right, the night editor in charge pub. lished it in good faith, and the thlsity was ti ,, t discovered until the edition was nearly worked off. The World does not stereotype its forms, as do several of the other morning papers; and as it is now working off a very heavy edition daily, we are compelled to go to press at an unusually early hour. The Journal of Commerce was deceived in the same way as the World, and of course quite as innocently. The Herald, we understand, printed the false proclamation in a large edition, but, fortunately for them, discovered it in time to suppress it in their regular edition. We regret ex ceedingly the publication, as we have a just pride in pub lishing none but reliable news ; but it was one of those in explicable accidents which is liable to happen to any newspaper establishment." New Orleans dates to the 11th May had been received at New York. Generals Henn, Renton, and Hamilton, and a large number of officers, both American and Mexican, bad arrived. Cardinal Wiseman and " The Times." (From the Queen, Saturday, Tune 4.) A fine sample of Journalistic morality was given in a late number of the Tinter, which at the same time, sheds a curious light upon some transactions which have lately oc cupied the attention of the public. In a recent pastoral let ter issued by Cardinal Wiseman, the Roman ecclesiastic and statesman takes occasion to comment with some severity upon some passages in the letter which Garibaldi addressed "to the English nation." The phrases which Cardinal Wise man selected as the text for his reprobatory discourse were certain expressions about the "Goddess of Reason" and the " Temple of Reason" in opposition to the Papacy, and as the meaning of these phrases must be familiar enough to those who have studied the history of the first French re volution, the Cardinal seized the occasion to ask a question —not impertinent, under the circumstances—whether the British nation, and especially that portion of it which effects orthodoxy in its opposition of Romish domina tion, is prepared to follow a worshipper of the " God dess of Reason" in his plans for despoiling the Pope of his temporal possessions. Upon this, the Tinzcs inter ' posed the is gis of its publicity to defend Garibaldi, and could find no readier means of doing s i than by accusing Cardinal Wiseman of a forgery. " Doubts (to quote the mild explanation of the Times itself) were expressed as to the genuineness of a passage quoted by his Eminence from Garibaldi's letter"—in other words, whether words had not been attributed to General Garibaldi which ho really never used at all. Cardinal Wiseman, however, is not a man to be put down so, especially when he has spoken "by the card," He sends to the Times a copy of Garibaldi's letter ungarbled, entire, and as he wrote it. To this there is no reply— litera scripta manet, and the Times can no more argue the wards out of toe letter than Bas- sanio could rail the seal from off A n tonio's bond. The manner in which the great journal attempts to extricate itself from the dilemma is curious. It admits the validity of the Cardinal's plea, as, indeed, it could scarcely do otherwise, and then sacrifices the sanity of the recent god of its idolatry. The version which it had seen of Garibaldi's letter was that which appeared in the Morning Post ; which, however, had been garbled, and Garibaldi's "foolish expressions" were omitted from it. The Times can now "hardly doubt that the General him self, if lie could new revise this strange rhapsody, would withdraw toe offensive contrast between the idolatry of Reason end the Papacy." In other words, it can hardly doubt that when he used those phrases he was not in the right possession of his senses, and would gladly withdraw (were it possible to do so) words so calculated to prejudice him in the eyes of the religious section of the British public.

FUNERAL CF A MILITARY KNIGHT OF WINDSOR. —Yesterday at noon the mortal remains of Major Robert Coch rane, a brave and veteran officer, and Deputy G overn or of the Military Knights of Windsor, who ex pired at his residence in the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle on Friel* , last, were interred with full military honours in the catacombs of St. George's Chapel, beneath the grass plot facing the Horse .shoe Cloisters. The gal lant major, who was much beloved by his surviving com • racks, had seen much active service, having entered the army in 1809. He was present at Waterloo, and at the entry of the Allied Army into Pari s . He had received the war medal and one clasp for the Peninsula, and the Water loo medal. THE SITE OF THE FLEET PRISON.—The Court of Common Council have entered into an agreement with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for the sale to them of the site of the lete Fleet Prison for the sum of £60,000; and upon that large piece of ground, which has lain waste for the last 20 years or more, and been wholly unproductive to the corporation, the comp any intend forth with to erect the London terminus of their line of railway, with convenient approaches. MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA TELEGRAPH.—Y es _ terday a paper was issued from the Treasury Chambers showing that during the 14 months ending December 31, 1862, the gross receipts of the Malta and Alexandria line of telegraph were £38,380 78., of which sum £3,142 158, was for the two months of the year 1861. The total number of messages, local and "through," sent in the same period was 19,797. In the second year of the line, namely, 1863, the gross receipts amounted to £ 52,142 98 • 3d., the total number of messages being 28,067. MARSHAL PELISSIERS OBSEQUIES.--A letter from Algiers of the 26th of May states that the death of Marshal Pelissier produced a very painful impres sion throughout the colony. On Tuesday, the 24th, the public were admitted to see the remains of the Marshal, which lay in state in the G ov ernment Palac e . The desire was so great to see the inanimate form of the Marshal for the last time that, to prevent a ccidents, it became necessary to place sentinels and police agents at the gates of the palace to regulate the approach. French, Spaniards, Arabs, Israelites, and strangers were all admitted in turn. The Arabs were not the least anxious to obtain admission. The silence in the interior of the Palace formed a striking con trast with the noise of the streets. Visitors passed through galleries hung with black to the ch,apelle ardente. The de ceased was extended on a state bed, dressed in the uniform, of a Marshal of France. lie held his baton in his right hand, his kepi lay at his feet ; his head and face were un covered, the features unchanged. Priests and Sisters of Charity were praying round his bed. The passage opened for visitors was lined with sentinels. Mass was celebrated in the chapelle ardente on Tuesday morning by the Bishop of Marseilles, and on Wednesday by the Abbe Suchet, Vicar- General. Signor Giuglini will make his first appearance at Exeter Hall, ;in conjunction with Madame Parepa, Miss Romer, Mr W. H. Cummings, and Mr Santley, at the National Choral Society's performance of the " Hymn of Praise," and " &abet Mater," on Wednesday next. The band and chorus will number 700, the whole under the direction of Mr G, W, Martin. The Dispute between the Coroner and Vestry of St, Pancras. Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras (Mr. Churchwarden Lawford in the chair), the vexed question of the coroner's beadle ship was again brought under consideration, by the production of the opinion of Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Welsby, as to their right to dismiss Murrey, a coroner's officer, and appoint another man, named Holland, in his place. After stating their case, the vestry call upon counsel for their advice as to whether they have any, and what power, to compel the coroner to deliver his warrants to Holland, whom they have appointed ; whether Murrey, having been dismissed by the vestry, can legally execute the coroner's warrant and receive payments made by the justices of the peace ; whether the vestry have any, and what remedy, against the coroner; whether the vestry have control over the constable in the execu tion of the office, and what, if any, proceeding should be taken by them. The opinion of Messrs. Lush and Welsby is against the vestry on every point. In their opinion the vestry have no power to compel the coroner to send his warrant to any particular person, and he may send it to any constable or police officer within the district where the death occurs. They do not find that the vestry has any authority under their act to appoint constables or peace officers, or to designate, under the denomination of " coroner's beadle," or otherwise, any particular constables or peace officers to perform the duty of executing the warrants of the coroner. Murrey being a constable for the metropolitan district, they considered that all that was necessary for the pur pose. They answer the questions if the Vestry have any remedy against the coroner or right of control over the constable in the negative, and do. not advise any proceedings by the vestry against either. Mr. BISHOP moved that the opinion of counsel be referred to the committee, to report upon the steps necessary to be taken under the circumstances, but it was negatived oy a large majority, and the case and opinion ordered to be entered on the minutes of the board. MARKETS—This Day. The supply of English wheat on sale here to day was small. The demand, however, ruled far from active ; nevertheless, Monday's currency was supported. The market was moderately supplied with most descrip•• Lions of foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was somewhat restricted, yet prices ruled fit in. Floating cargoes of grain were steady in price, although the trade for them was in a sluggish state. Grinding barley sold steadily at full quotations; other wise, the barley trade was quiet, on former terms. In malt about an average business was transacted, at full prices. The supply of oats on the stands was but moderate. On the whole, the trade ruled steady at very full prices. Berns were in small supply, and steady request, at ex. treme rates. Peas moved off steadily, and prices ruled firm. The flbur trade was steady, and no quotable change took place in the currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat, Barley. Malt.

ORANGES IN THE AZORES. —Nowhere are oranges of more importance than in the Azores. These islands live on them, bath directly as food, and indirectly as a profitable industry. Just as in other parts of the world a man's wealth is reckoned by the number of sheep, cattle, or horses which he can call his own, so here the orange.. tree forms the unit of value. You do not say, such a one is worth so many thousand pounds, but that he has a quinta containing so many trees. High and low, rich and poor alike, derive their incomes from oranges. Whether it be for good or evil, the population aro certainly not "divorced from the soil" in the Azores, for while the great proprietor has his 1,000 or 1,500 stems, the peasant rejoices in the "orange tints that gild the greenest bough" upon his own dozen or half-dozen trees. During the years when the orange-trees aro yielding no fruit, maize or beans are grown between their ranks, but seldom afterwards, unless the owner be very poor or very greedy. The islanders de vote their whole time, thought, and energies to the cultiva tion of the orange, and watch over the trees with great care and anxiety, to preserve them from the violence of the elements, or the ravages of that destructive in sect, the coccus. The crop is generally bought by the merchant before it has reached maturity, and there are professional valuers who have attained great pre cision in calculating the produce of each tree. After the bargain is made, however, the weather or the insect may play sad havoc with the qulnta, and cause heavy loss to the purchaser. the well known St. Michael oranges, so much esteemed in this country, come from the Azores, which, upon an area of 229 miles, yields annually oranges to the value of about £90,000, and to the number of nearly 300 ,000,000 I A seventh of this quantity is usually con sumed by the inhabitants ; the rest is exported.—Chambers' Journal. Agricultural Chemistry, M. Boussingault, whose important labours in scientific agriculture are well known to our readers, attributes, in the 3d volume of his " Agronomie, Cnimie Agricole et Physiologie," just published, to the oxalic acid contained in guano, qualities hitherto overlooked by other chemists. If, he observes, guano be treated by water, and the solution be immediately filtered, crystals of neutral oxalate of ammonia will be deposited by evaporation ; the mother-ley then contains sulphate and phosphate of ammonia; but if, instead of filtering, the mixture be left to digest for some time, the case is quite different ; the oxalic acid goes on dimi nishing in the liquid as the digestion proceeds, and phosphoric acid is formed instead ; after 24 hours, this acid and the ammonia are in sufficient quantity to form an abundant precipitate of phos pate of ammonia and magnesia, when a solution of sulphate of ammonia is poured in. The phosphate of ammonia is produced by the oxalate, which, being dissolved, acts upon the phosphate of lime ; hence, by double decomposition, we obtain a soluble phosphate of ammonia and an insoluble oxalate of lime. From this our author concludes that the oxalic acid of guano is a principle of far greater importance than has hitherto been supposed. Both earthy and ammoniacal guano he consider. to have the same origin ; but in the former the disappearance of ammonia is probably due to local circumstances, such as the abundance and frequency of rain, which naturally favours the de, composition of organic substances and the dissolu tion of ammoniacal salts. And indeed that part of the South Sea coast where ammoniacal guano is found, offers this peculiarity that from Tumbes to the desert of- Atacama rain is almost unknown, while in the parts not comprised between these limits, north of umbes, in the impenetrable ana marshy forests of the C.,0c0, it rains almost inces santly. At Pay ta,south of that province, it had not rained for 17 years, at the time M. Boussingault was there; and further south, at Chocope, in 7 deg. 46 min. S. lat., the rain which felt in 1726 was men- tioned as a memorable event. Nor are there any storms on this Peruvian coast_ An inhabitant of Pura or Sechura does not know what thunder is, unless he has travelled. This is the zone within which ammoniacal guana is found; north and south of this zone, guano, exposed as it is to tropical showers, g nerally contains no ammonia nr soluble salts, but retains an unsoluble one, phosphate of lime. lhis third volume of M. Boussingault's work contains much in teresting wetter concerning climate, temperature, &c., chiefly comprising the results of the author's own experience and accurate observa tion.

All parts of West Indies, including Chili, Peru, i June 10 California. and British Columbia DEATH OF SIRJOHN WATSON GORDON,P.R.S.A AND R.A.—The announcement of the death of Sir John Watson Gordon, which took place at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, will be universally received as that of a far more than local, of a truly national, loss. President of the Royal Scottish Academy, and member of the Royal Academy. the honour due to his unrivalled eminence in his especial department of his art was not less freely, nor with less pride in his genius, paid in England than in his native country, to which he, during his whole life, so lovingly and so beneficently clung. John Watson Gordon was born in Edinburgh some 74 years ago. He studied at the Academy of Trustees for the Encouragement of Manu facture in Edinburgh. He early turned his attention to that branch of his art in which he has achieved so high a reputation. He first exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1827, continuing to do so up to the present exhibition. In 1841 he was elected associate, and in 18.51 member of the Royal Academy. He has filled the chair of Presi dent of the Royal Scottish Academy, which owes to him so much of its vitality and its position, since the death of Sir W. Allan, in 1850. In that year, also, he was appointed limner to her Majesty, for Scotland, on which occasion he received the honour of knighthood. Sir John was unmar ried.—Scotsman. A NEW GIGANTIC BALLOON.—Mr. Coxwell has just completed a new balloon, which is somewhat larger than the one in which ho has made the high ascents, in company with Mr. Gliisher. Like its celebrated prede cessor, the present machine has been constructed at Tot tenham —this time under canvas, on the aeronaut's pre mises, and we may add entirely from Mr. Coxwell's own resources, both as regards artistic and pecuniary ability. There is a peculiarity about this balloon which admits of a vast increase of capacity, should enlargement be at any time necessary, in order to compete with continental " Geants." This novelty consists of the telescopic elongation, so to speak, of the balloon, by means of indiarubber cloth intro duced when required into the equator. Messrs. Fanshawe and Jacques, of the Tottenham Indiarubber Works, are trying a few experiments to ascertain which is the most suitable material for Mr Cox well's purpose; and they have permitted their designer, Mr Williams, to attend to Mr. Coxwell's requirements, and also to execute an immense figure of Britannia, as a specimen decoration to the balloon, to be transferred thereupon when it shall have achieved its first ascent. The magnificent addition to act °static art will be inflated in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace, on the 6th, 7th, and Bth inst. It is rumoured that the novel idea of a concert inside the balloon is to be carried into effect each day during the exhibition. An engine of two-horse power will keep up a continual supply of fresh air, so that the orchestral department may not be inconvenienced. Some interesting experiments on the propagation of sound will be connected with this balloon concert, and thus, like most of Mr Coxwell's undertakings, amusement will be asniciated with science.-7ottenham Advertiser, June 1. MADRID, May 31.—Advices from Peru state that the Government of that country seemed disposed to give satisfaction to Spain. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALLS'—TIIESDAY. GRAD PRIZE, PARIS.

Outbreak at a Roman Catholic Reformatory. The Notting ilant guardian reports another serious out break at the Mount St Bernard Reformatory, a Roman (Catholic institution. On the 22d of May four criminals made their escape between the hours of 12 p.m. and 5 a.m. by cutting up the sheets and letting themselves down from the dormitory windows. They afterwards broke open the tailor's shop, equipping themselves each in a suit of clothes belonging to the band. They were afterwards captured at Derby, and committed for trial. On the 24th a general mu tiny took place. The young criminals, to the number of 180, refused to work or obey the officers of the establishment, and defied them to touch or interfere with them. Some few of the youths who were disposed to obey were mercilessly. punished by their more hardened companions. In the after noon about 50 went off in a body towards Bardon, armed with knives, sticks, and stones. Some bricklayers and labourers near Bardon attempted to capture them ; but they immediately drew out their knives and threw stones as thick as hail, and one man was severely injured, The men, how ever, succeeded in capturing 7 of the boys, and took them back. In the meantime others had also gone out for a pleasure trip. In the evening about 70 returned, defying the offi cers to touch or punish them, and again had the place is their possession. They ordered and were supplied with what they required, and after much persuasion they went to bed. Next morning, happening to see a farmer, named Burgess (who had rendered some assistance on the pre vious day in their capture), pass, about thirty boys fol lowed him into the Forest Rock Inn, and insisted on the landlord turning him out that they might have their re venge.izn ned i at eThisi y madethe landlord upon his h o refused, us e u , p o o n n d w a h n i o c u h t an attack h w ort was o f glass, &c., was smashed. Some of the inmates took refuge in the cellars. The son of the landlord ran to Whitwiek for assistance. Inspector Ward collected a few of f icers and pro ceeded to the spot, but found the boys had gone, A search was made, and two were captured, and shortly after six others. These were next day sentenced to 14 days' hard la . hour. On Thursday evening the inspector was sent for to the reformatory and took five men with him. He found the place in the greatest disorder. The authorities would give no orders for the officer's interference, leafing they were not strong enough to cope with the rioters, and Mr. Quics, the manager, wished to send to Whitwick for more help. The inspect , r would not permit this, feeling confident that with the small force under his orders he could cope with them. The boys were persuaded again to go to bed, about nine o'clock, and about eleven, ! Mr. Quick, accom panied by the Inspector and his force, proceeded to the dormitories, an d as t h e r i ng l ea d e rs were pointed out s.cured them, and locked up thirty-six.
