The Sun. — London, England, 1863-06-29 00:00:00

sully has Sir Walter Scott narrated the various incidents of his poem, that his dramatic action and characters have long since passed from the realms of Fancy to the domain of Fact ; and the guides, with the scrupulous accuracy of men attesting to the truth : pointed out (and still continue to point out) the very soots where the gallant horse ex hausted fell,' and where Ellen's boat 'touched the silver strand,' and so on through all the incid, nts of the poem. And, certainly, the association of these shadowy fictions greatly enhances the charm e a district where nature has been so prodigal in her gifts." Animated with similar feelings, many readers will gladly pay a visit (at page 227) to Ellen's Isle—" as lonely an islet jewel as was ever set upon the fair bosom of a highland lake. It is a class of rock, thickly covered with trees, with one little bay—that which gave access tti the shal,op of the fair lady of the lake.' As the little craggy island rises to its highest p.,int in its centre, and as its trees are compactly massed together, its general outline is so perfectly oval that when the sun is shining upon its bright green foliage, it needs but a slight effort of fancy to imagine it a ♦eritable emerald set in diamonds and silver." There is a Tery amusing description, or rather want of descrip tion of Abbotsford. "At the end of ten minutes or a quarter of an hour," says Mr. Bede, " you emerge from a suite of rooms which are as interesting and wonderful as any of the romances of their gifted creator, and you endeavour, it may be, to arrange your reminiscences and to question yourself as to what you have seen in those brief minutes. The task is a perfectly hopeless one"—so abundant and so multifarious are the treasures there contained. If Mr. Bede's manner is occasionally superficial and even slovenly, his book, on the whole, will be found both interest ing and amusing. THE POLISH QUESTION. His Holiness the Pope proposed as Mediator. The leading articles of the Paris juurnats are no' of much importance, as for the moment the greatest number of them retrain from political observations. The Monde, however, broaches the opinion that an erroneous system has been acted on ie the Polish question, and that the true mode of proceding would be to nominate the Pope mediator, and let him settle the difficulty. The following is the language of our contemporary : " It is difficult to believe that diplomacy has adopted a good plan to attain the pacification of Poland. This exchange of concerted notes and this outcry in the journals were only calculated to inspire Russia with the strongest feeling of mistrust. Interferences of this kind deeply wound national susceptibility. It is in cases like this, that the absence in. Europe of a moderating power is to be regretted. That power was for centuries exercised ty the Holy See. The Pope is not a competitor ; he neither speaks as a master nor as a rival. As father of the great Christian family, he only uses the language of the most august and most conciliatory parent. He has no armed force to support his counsels, and that very fact gives them efficacy, because Princes may follow them without appearing to yield to any fear, and solely influenced by duties of justice and of moderation. Pius IX. has, it is said, written to Alexander 11. Alas ! we do not expect any great result from the Pontifical intervention. And nevertheless, who does not see that, of all sovereigns, Pius IX. is the only one that can speak with persuasive authority. Alex ander I. was accustomed to say—' If I was present at a conclave of Kings, I should be happy to be pre sided over by the Sovereign Pontiff.' And the other Sovereigns would have thought as he did. Who would accept the presidency of England, or France, or Austria ? It is because in that case the presi dency would imply, or would appear to imply, a political supremacy, which no nation is disposed to admit. This Pontifical Royalty is therefore neces sary to Europe, because it there keeps up a spirit of concord; by its power, which threatens no one, it shows itself towards the other Governments as a most impartial arbitrate!' and a most disinterested judge. As concerns the Holy See, the self love of Princes is no longer at stake. The Pope is a father; he implores more than be orders. He includes all men in the same faith. Papacy, stripped as it is is still the most visible image of right, even in the eyes of nations separated from the Catholic Church." THE GREAT EASTERN. In proof of the facilities of the port of Liverpool for the performance of any description of work in connection with shipping, we may state that tha inward cargo of the Great Eastern has been dis charged and the ship coaled for her next voyage in seven working days. When it is remembered that the cargo discharged and the coal shipped would weigh, in the aggregate, not much less than 13,000 tons, the magnitude of the work and of the neces sary arrangements may be imagined. The neces sity of loading and discharging in the river of course very materially increases the work to be performed, but this drawback is at present unavoidable. The big ship will sail to-morrow, and, as s be will call at Queenstown, it is expected she will take a great number of passengers of all c'asses. THE LATE ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT.—On Thurs day the glass and china used at the royal table was sold by auction by Mr. H. E. Murrell, in the Council Chamber. The articles Nt ere manufactured specially for the occasion by Messrs. Daniell and Messrs. Copeland and Co., and many of them fetched more than their original cost, Admis, ion was confined strictly to the Aldermen and Com mon Council. As instances of the prices obtained the fol lowing may be quoted—Soup-plates which cost £2 2s per br►lf-dozen, realised an average of £2 ss; a desert plate and d'oyley (there were many lots of this kind), cost £1 12s 6d, fetched 35s or 36s ; dinner plates, cost 7. each, realised 7s to 7s 6d. each; water jug and two tumblers, coat £5 ss, sold for Li it's; table napkins fetched 21s to 25s per half dozen; the entire cost of the glass and china on the Royal table was £654 108, the proceeds of the sale amounted to about £5OO. Of the cost of some of the items the following may be given :—Sherry and port glasses, 12s each ; claret glasses, 13s 6d each ; hock, 15s ; champagnes and tumblers, 16s each; finger glasses, 21s each; ice plates, 7s 6d. Of each of the above there were 60. Eight port decanters, 42s ecch; eight sherry, same price ; six water jugs and gobl eta, £5 each ; dessert plates (60), 30s each ; eight claret jug,s, 55s each. Perfumery cost £9B.—City Press. RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.—A Warsaw letter in tht Dat.tiic Gazette says :---" The persecutions egainsi the Catholic clergy do not appear likely to cease here any more than at Wilna. Another priest has been hanged at Zomosc, and several others have been thrown into the dun geons of the citadel for their patriotic sermons ; 12 the other hand the prisons are crowded. All classes of scciety are so much accustomed to those proceedings that no one • is terrified. The National Government has just • published the following proclamation at Warsaw :—''the Russian agents, who are having recourse to all kinds of measures to put down the insurrection, intend within the next few days to exilite the people to make an armed demon stration in the capital. The National Government warns the inhabitants not 1 o be deceived by the artifice, but to wait 'with patience and resolution for the moment when the Go vernment itself shall give the signal. The hour of deliver ance will surely come.' " THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT !—Two persons shall be of the same height, end yet one shall be considered much taller than the other ; this may be the rea son why statues are often described as not being so many feet, but so many heads high ; the siz of the head in either will generally govern the rest of the body, and the two sub jects will be distinguished less by height than by tall or ;short proportions; upon the same principle, abort or long faces command short or long limbs, and it may be compara tively said of each of them—toe, may be fair specimens of elegance and plumpness, of grace or of good condition. It is no contradiction to assert that a long and short face may be lineally of the same length. To unravel this, take two profiles of each, let the projecting and undulating lines be traced as in a map, then let each be elongated so as to form two straight lines, and they will be found to measure the same. The fact is, that the lines of a short face will make up in projection what they lose in length, and the lines of a long face will make up in length what tney lose in projec tion. In like manner a short upper lip will not shorten the lower part of the face, as the deficiency may be made up by a larger space of chin ; the same may apply to a high fore head, to which some one or other of the features will yield the necessary ro,,m, that the uniform length may be pre served.—From Arttcle on " Comparative Beauty" i n Ar a _ tional Magazine. couple ve ert - IN NATURE'S TEMPLE.—A young married on the 26th ult., at the Falls of Niagara. Upon Lunar Island, in a recess of the glen, by the green margin of the Rapids, they took their indissoluble vows, and by the Methodist Minister were made one with words of cere mony, and prayer hardly audible amid the thunders of the cataract,—American .Paper. rIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. More firmness is app gent to-day in the general Discount Market, 4 per cent, being the quotation for first-class bills of three months' date. There is nevertheless an impression that the rates will be much easier in the course of the next fortnight, owing to the flow of gold into the Bank of Eng land, the large arrivals of specie, and other favour able influences. • The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday comprised the influx of L 41,000 in bar gold. The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies with £793,610. Accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have been more satisfactory. At Man chester, however, there has only been a limited business in cloths and yarns. The woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been more active, while symptoms of improvement have been ...pparent in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham. Business in the hard ware districts, viz., of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has exhibited little change of im portance. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 68f. 50c.—Heavy. Further indications of buoyancy have prevailed to-day in the market for the English Funds, the business negotiated, although comparatively small, having comprised several purchases on speculative account. The situation of political affairs is looked upon with less uneasiness, and an upward tendency is promoted by the tavourable course of the specie movement.

The Cumberland Plate has only one thorough good horse engaged in it, and that is Caller Ou. But, with her penalty, lam afraid it would be asking too much of her to give so much we ght to Joey J ones, who showed last week in the Queen's Guineas that he had re turned to his three-year-old form. If any demonstration should be made in favour of Judex, I would stand on him alone ; but, as his owner may not send him so far north, I shall trust to .Toey Junes and Honest Tom to pull me through. The Clown ought to win the Corby Castle Stakes, and Bohemian the Grand Stand Handicap. The Worcester meeting I shall remark on to-morrow. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTUI Jut RES FOR 1863.

Accounts of accidents from lightning during the last few days are being received from different parts of France. At Arne (Haute-Loire) a man and his son were two days back occupied in attending to some bees during a storm, when they were both struck by the electric fluid. The father was killed, but the son escaped with some bruises. On the previous evening two men were standing underneath a tree at Luaus (Doubs) durmg a storm, when one of them was struck by a flash of lightning, which pierced his hat in three places and then passed down his breast to his left foot, marking its passage by a black wound resembling a severe burn The man is lying in a dan gerous state, but hopes are entertained of saving his lite The other escaped unhurt.

" The armaments of Denmark," says a letter from Hamburg, " are being carried on with great activity, but no one imagines that the Frankfort Diet seri• ously thinks of a military occupation of Holstein. A statement recently published by several German journals and to which the Brunswick Government has not given any contradiction, has produced a cer tain sensation in the north of Germany and particu larly in Prussia. The announcement was that that the reigning Duke of Brunswick, who has no direct heirs, and whose territory after the death of the Duke will be united to Hanover, has bequeathed to the Emperor of Austria his im mense personal fortune and considerable estates in foreign countries. The principality of Oels in Silesia, and large domains in the district of Glatz, in Prussia, would thus belong, after the death of the Duke, to the Emperor Francis-Joseph, who in this way would again obtain a footing in Silesia, and there possess a vast territory under the Prussian sovereignty. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. Less firmness was ob'erved in the demand for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and in order to effect sales, factors were compelb.d to accept is per quarter less monEy, The spring corn trade ruled inactive, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour was a limited request on former terms. Advices from New York state that good and prime wheats were in fair export demand ; but that other articles sold heavily for the home and eastern trades. On the Con tinent very little change has taken place in the value of produce. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 20,505 quarters of wheat, 1,810 barley, 20,781 oats, 1,526 peas, 11,846 linseed, 5,766 oilseeds, 20 maize, 2,600 sundry seeds, 620 sacks, and 5,467 barrels of flour. Over 6,000 were taken for export. Fresh up to our market this morning a small supply of English wheat was received, in fair condition. Owing to the fln E ness of theweather, the favourable accounts respect ing the crops, and the falling off of the export demand, the trade was in a sluggish state, both for red and white qualities, and last Monday's quotations were barely sup ported ; indeed, in same instances prices declined 'a per qr. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, and there was a large show of Danfzic produce on the stands. All descriptions were in slow request, and the quotations had a downward tendency. There was less doing in floating cargoes of grain at pre vious rates. The supply of barley—both English and foreign—was very moderate. The demand, however, was by no means active, yet prices were supported. In male a very moderate business was transacted on for mer terms. The supply of oats was large. The trade for all descrip tions was in a sluggish state, 37,-A no quotable change took place in prices. The quality of the foreign supply was mostly interior, and transactions took place at very low prices. Although the supply of beans on offer was very mode rate, the demand ruled inactive on former terms. Peas were in small supply but slow request, at late rates. In the flour trade there was no activity. Prices, however, ruled stationary. There was a fair supply of barrels on offer.

VICE CHANCELLORS' COURT. BOUCICAULT V. DELAFIELD. Mr. Boucicault atplied for an injunction to Vice-Chan cellor Sir Page Wood this morning against Mr..Delafield, the manager of the Queen's Theatre, at Manchester, to re strain him from performing the Colleen Bawn. After hearing counsel his lordship reserved judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BRNCII. (Before Chief Justice Cockburn and n. Sp-ci•tllury.) MORRISON V. BELCHER.--LIBEL. This was an action brought by Mr. Richard James Mor rison, lieutenant in the Royal Navy, against the defendant, Admiral Sir E. Belcher, for writing and publishing a de famatory libel, to which the defendant pleaded as a justifi cation that the statement was in substance true. Mr. Sergeant Shee aid MI-. Besley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Shee said the plaintiff was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and having distinguished himself in his profession temporarily retired from the service, and became a student of astronomy, and, amongst other things, of astrology. He also was the editor and proprietor of ZaakiePs Alinanack, which hld obtained an enormous circulation and great notoriel in consequence of his hav ing predicted the death of the Prince Consort. Alderman Humphrey having made some particular observations upon the statement m Zadkiel's Almaneck, the circumstance was commented on in a leading article of one of the daily papers, and afterwards a letter, signed " Anti-Humbug," and which was of a most scurrilous nature, appeared in the same journal, and he should be able to prove that the writer of it was the defendant. The letter, after making some very severe comments, went on to inquire who was Zadkiel, and whether there was no means of ferretting him out and handing him over to the magistrate at Bow-street as a rogue and vagabond. The writer said he thought he could help him to obtain the desired information, and he thought he had seen his signature as the president of some particular society—viz., R. J. Morrison. That he was also the celebrated Crystal Globe seer, the particular virtues of which were, that by its aid communications with the spirits of the departed might be made, and that he had even gone the length of saying that communications had been had with the spirits of the twelve apostles. That hehad engaged theservice of a boy through whom he used to act, but the boy had "peached" and thus the whole affair had been exposed—in fact, said the learned counsel, amounting to an assertion that my client was an unprincipled impostor. He then went on to describe the virtues of the " Crystal Globe," in which visions were stated to have been seen, and said the mysteri ous " crystal" in the possession of the plaintiff was pur chased at the sale of the effects of the late Lady Blessing ton, and very shortly after, a boy, after looking at it some time, stated that he had seen visions, and alto after that, a young man named Usher, not only said he had seen similar scenes, but had actually drawn representations of the things he had seen in the " Crystal." Now his client, Mr. Morrison, never for one moment pretended that he had seen visions such as were described, but his son having seen something which he said was con nected with the Arctic expedition, Lady Franklin desired the " crystal" might be brought to her, and from the pub licity given to the scene seen by young Morrison it became quite the rage in the fa&hionable world, Peers, bishops, ladies of the highest position; r.ll were anxious to watch the crystal. So great became the pressure upon Mr. Mor risan that he was compelled to leave town, and he (Sergeant Shee) should bo able to produce letters written by persons of the highest position to Mr. Morrison, all asking for a view of the crystal. Althoug`i an attempt might be made to draw the attention of the jury from the pointbefore them, an action for the recovery of damages for a malicious libel by invoiving them in some sort of inquiry into the science of the stars, he felt satisfied that after Sir E. Belcher having refused to make the apology his client required, they would give him such damages as would prove he was not the unprincipled impostor the defendant said he was. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. John Smith, the manager of the Daily 7 elegrapit the paper in which the letter appeared,and another witness gave evidence relative to the publication and handwriting. . _ Richard James Morrison, the plaintiff, was examined by Sergeant Shee, and eaid—l am now a commander in the Royal Navy. I have studied in astronomy and as trology, and have published several works of that nature. I am also the proprietor and publisher of " Zadkiel's Almanack." It contains predictions founded upon astronomical contingencies. I have found those pre dictions mostly true after 40 years' experience. In 1861, there was in the Almanack a peculiar prediction relative to the death of the Prince Consort. Lord k,hiet Justice—The voice of the stars, page 13, is that it? The Learned Counsel—Yes, my lord. He then read the passage in question, which went n to say that there would be weeping in high places, and also gave various predictions affecting the late Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales. Examination continued.—Alderman Humphrey made some comments upon the prediction, and then I became aware of the publication of the letter signed " Anti Hum bug." I had read about the crystals and had sees them, and I bought the one in my possession of a curiosity dealer. I set it upon the table before my son, and he immediately saw visions relating to the expedition of Sir J. Franklin. A young gentleman named Usher also saw them. I sent a statement of the affair to the Atlanceuth, which was pub • lished. The " Crystal" was here produced. The witness continued—The publication produced a great excitement. I received numbers of letters from the nobility asking for a sight of the crystal ball. Lady Erroll and others wrote tome. 1 hold their letters in my hand. I never received any money for exhibiting the ball. I never tutored either of the boys to say they had seen visions in the " Crystal.' It is untrue that was given to my son to tell some lady of the doings of her son in America. I never knew it uutil I saw it in the Telegraph. I have freely lent the " Crystal' to friends. I left it more often than I romdned with it. I believe a female servant of Sir E. B. Lytton's, a Swiss, looked into it. She said she saw Sir H. Bulwer lying ill under a tree. It was in a foreign place. I was afterwards in formed that Sir H. Bulwer was sick in a place of the nature the servant described. I first met Sir E. Belcher at an evening party at Colonel and Mrs. Mertan's. He intro duced me to Lord and Lady Lonsdale. He did not show any aversion to me. I never stated I had seen visions in the "globe," but the young persons did and that quite openly. Baron Brunnow, Admiral Fitzclarence, the Coun tess of Errol, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, the Bishop of Lichfield, Colonel Phipps, the Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P. , and a great many other persons of distinction came to look at the Crystal. I had as many as eight ladies of distinction in my house at once. I produce a number of drawings made by the young man Usher of the visions he saw. I solemnly believe he did see them, as it is impossible lie could have imagined such things as he described. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Some of the drawings have been published in Zadkiel's almanacks. The female figure in the drawing is that of Eve. That is the spirit said she was when asked her name. (Laughter.) The spirits appeared with scrolls coming out of their mouths. Sergeant Ballantine—As if they had been taken sud denly ill ? Witness—The spirits were always respectably dressed. (Laughter.) They had all their drapery displayed in the drawings. The lady you now direct my attention to is Queen Nab, as she appeared in her car drawn by gnats. (Laughter.) The male is a representation of St. Lake. I don't believe ell Usher has said. The Lord Chief Justice—You don't believe what Usher has said ? Witness—No, my lord, because he has said some of the things disclosed were false. I believe he saw Eve. Sergeant Ballantine—What language did Eve speak? (Laughter.) Witness—English. (Laughter.) Sergeant Ballantine—And Orion, what language did he use ? Witness—English. Sergeant Ballantine--And Titania. Witness—All English. I still advertise. I have persons who see visions in the Crystal Ball. I have heard that a vision of the Lord's Supper has appeared in the Crystal Ball, also some of the miracles of our Saviour, the feeding of the multitude with five loaves and two ashes, and our Saviour walking upon the water, and two or three of the apostles. Sergeant Ballantine—The stars took you in a bit last year, did they not ? (Laughter.) You prophesied the death of Lord Broug ham, did you not? Witness—l never prophecy ; I predict. None can pro phecy but those that have the spirit of God, and that I don't presume to have. Sergeant Ballantine—Well, you predict. Witness—And the public can believe or not as they feel disposed. I have made some predictions about Lord Palmerston, but without perfect data I cannot undertake to give perfect predictions. Samuel Smith, the person who advertises about casting nativiti es, lives in Goswell•street. He has an advertisement in the Almanack, and the address given there is at Brompton. I have never taken in letters there except on one or two occa sions addressed to " Samuel Smith, E,q," He receives letters for the sale of my books. The Lord Chief Justice—Then when Samuel Smith re ceives applications from persons whose mind is distressed, do you answer the letters ? Witness—Sometimes. Sergeant Ballantine —Do you mean to say that you have not made "calculation" for wealthy persons as late as 1862 ? Witness—Yes, I have—a few. Sergeant Bal , antine—A nd received the money through Samuel Smith. I have given instructions in astrology to some persons, but never to very young people. The crystal ball I bought I believe belonged to the celebrated Dr. Dee. I was told so. I have no means of knowing for certain. Sergeant Ballantine—Who was the seer who had the conversation with Judas Iscariot ? Witness—My son, I believe. Sergeant Ballantine—And the answer you published was ;he one you received ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Ballantine—And Judas Iscariot preferred get ting back to a certain place rather than remaining with you. (Laughter.) The Crystal Globe was then handed to the jury for exa mination. It appeared to be a ball of Brazilian pebble, about 41 inches in diameter. The official examination of the son of the plaintiff, now reside nt at New York, was then put in and real. It was to the effect that he had seen visions in the globe as described, that he bac: never received £5 from a lady for telling her what he had seen relative to her son, who was then in the Mediterranean. Lady Harry Vane—The letter put into my hand is one I wrote relative t. 5 se, ing the crystal. It was in consequence of some hing I had heard from my father, the late Earl Stanhope. I went with two friends, but met others there. I saw the ball ; a little boy looked into it. He said he saw a great many things, but I cannot recorect how many. Neither I nor my friends paid anything to Lieut. Morrison for seeing. Cross-examined—Lord Effingham was of the party. It was at Mr. Morrison's own house that the exhibition took place, The Master of the Temple, Rev. Mr. Robinson said—l saw the Crystal Globe wire, once at my own house, and once a' Sir J. Cockburn's. The plaintiff was present. The boy Usher looked in. He said he saw figures and writing. I asked him what he saw by putting one or two questions to him, and asked on one occ sion if he saw my son, who was then in Jamaica. He described him and his wife sitting in chairs in the garden. He cou:d not identify his son by the description. He merely said it was a clergyman and a lady. The ball was brought to my house at my own request. I never paid any money for it being brought there. The Bishop of Lichfield said—l was present at my son in-law's house when the ball was to be exhibited, I saw it, I had not the leastreason in the world to believe that money was paid for the exhibition, Lady Egerton of Fallow—The letter put in my hand is written by me. I went to see the Crystal Ball ; some gen tlemen were of the party. A boy looked in the ball. When I asked him how many guardian angels I had, he said " seven." (Laughter.) I said that was a large number— (laughter)—but the boy said most persons had four. (Laughter.) I was most courteously received, and I never paid any money for seeing the ball. The Marchioness of Aylesbury said—l saw the Crystal Ball at Mrs. Merton's. Several persons werepresent. The ball was looked into by a boy. Cross-examined—l did not make any inquiries relative to the " ball." I thought it such nonsense. Ido not attend voluntarily to-day. I was subpoenaed. The Rev. George Stokes—l knew the boy Usher and the son of Mr. Morrison. They were both pupils of mine. Mr. Morrison's wife was my daughter. I thought Mr. Mor rison was deceived as to what he thought about the ball. Cross-examined—Mr. Morrison professed that young persons saw visions in the ball, and I am certain he believed they did. I did not allow other boys beside Usher to look into the ball. lam sure none others went. Mr. Fulham Webster—l am a director of the New River Company, and reside in Berkshire. After 1 had seen the ball I wrote the letter put into my hand, request ing that my friends might see it. When I saw it a boy was looking, and he said he saw a number of things, in answer to questions put to him. I became acquainted with Mr Morrison through friends. I paid no money for seeing the Crystal. Cross-examined—The first time I went wag with a lady, and the second time Mr. Reynolds was with me. I was so happy as to receive a very great quantity of guardian angels. I believe one of the questions asked was where Sweden borg was to be found ? The Earl of Wilton said—l went to see the ball at Col . Merton's, at Brompton. I think a boy looked at the globe. No money was paid for the privilege of looking at it. Ci oss-examined—l did not receive any caution for my future guidance.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-d y's market, in somewhat improved condition. Sales progressed slowly, at about stationary prices. ho receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, but those from Scotland were limited. Ireland, however, forwarded an increased number. The general quality of stock was very middling. Good and prime breeds moved off steadily, and last Mon • day's advance in quotations was supported. Otherwise, the demand was in a sluggish state, at the reduction sub mitted to on Thursday. The highest quotation for beef was 5s 2d ; but some very good animals sold at 5s per 81b. From Norfolk, Suff lk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,800 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,000 various breeds ; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers. The stow of sheep was only moderate, but its quality was prime. Nearly all breeds moved off freely at prices equal to this day se'nnight. The best Downs realised 5s 2d per 81b We were fairly supplied with lambs, which moved ,ff heavily at barely late rates, viz., from 5s 4a to 6s Cd per 81b Calves were in good supply and heavy request, at Thurs day's decline in values.

Since we last wrote, a very moderate business has been transacted, both in English and foreign hops. Good and fino qualities have steadily supported previous quotations ; otherwise, prices have had a downward ten dency. Last week's import was 100 bales from New York ; and 133 bales from Antwerp.

A fair business is passing in English wool, and both long Down qualities fully support last week's currency. The import of foreign and colonial wool last week amounted to 238 bales from Seville, 3,901 Sydney, 1,555 Melbourne, 1,475 New Zealand, and 1,594 from Port Philip, This additional quantity will increase the supply of colonial wool in the market for the next public sales at about 80,000 bales. Advices from the Cape state that several parcels of wool had been taken at Port Elizabeth for shipment to New York direct. A public sale of English wool will be held at the London Wool Sale-room on the 15ch proximo. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT AT THE SERPENTINE. — MichaeI Mahon, a rough-looking fellow, living in Gray's-buildings, Marylebons, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another not in custody, in unlawfully pos sessing a boat, the property of Mr. Butcher and others, at the Serpentine, Hyde-park. George Wakeford, one of the boatmen of the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house, Hyde-park, said— Yesterday morning, about 20 minutes to 5 I was called by the superintendent, and went to the Serpentine. I saw the prisoner and another lad get into a boat about a quarter of a mile off, and which had been taken from its moorings. I got into another boat, and rowed after the prisoner, and on coming up with the boat the prisoner and the other lad were in, I towed it ashore. Part of the boat had been broken, and also one of the sculls the prisoner had been using. On asking the prisoner what business he had with the boat, he said he had fallen into the water, and then got into the boat. _ _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt.—Had the prisoner and his companion damaged ihe boat ? Witness.—l have no doubt of it, as it was all right when left at its moorings. There was also a large quantity of flowers at the bottom of the boat, which had no doubt been taken from Kensington Gardens. Similar conduct was pursued by some lads on the previous Sunday who like the prisoner had got into the park about three o'clock, two hours before the gates were opened, at five o'clock. Nathaniel Arthur, park constable, No. 23, said—l saw the prisoner in the act of rowing, and on being called by the last witness went to hisassistance and took the prisoner into custody, the other lad escaping. The prisoner said he had fallen into the water and got into the boat to save, himself. Mr. Williams, superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, who was not sworn, said—The worst part of this case, your worship, is that the persons who took the boat away f,om its moorings also took a pair of sculls belonging to the Royal Humane Society, and had there been an accident it would have been a serious thing, as a boat could not have put off. Yesterday morning I was awakened by loud yelling from a number of lads, and at first thought there had been some accident. I have also to complain of a most intolerable nuisance arising from a number of prosti tutes of the lowest description sleeping in a shed at nights near the Royal Humane Society's receiving house, and there singing filthy songs at tae tops of their voices, to the annoyance of myself and family, and that of my neighbour, who lives in the cottage close by, and who has been dan gerously ill for some time past. The nuisance has lately become so bad that we can get no rest. Prisoner—l went with some other lads, and one of my companions fell into the water, and I took him in and was roving him ashore when the boatman came up. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are one of these mischievous fellows who do all sorts of mischief, and when you are caught must be punished. The prisoner was then committed for six weeks with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT AND DESPERATE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. —lsaac Russell, who is well known to the police by hi s assaults upon constables, was charged before Mr. Selfe with the following desperate assault on police constables : It appeared, from the evidence, that in the course of the previous Saturday afternoon the prisoner was at the Goat, in the Fulham-road, where he was causing a great distal , . bance. Re was asked to leave, but would not. S oon a f ter some one put him out, upon which, as he was causing a disturbance, Policeman V 402 requested him to go away. Instead of doing so he struck the officer, and after a struggle succeeded in Inging him down. While on the pavement he kicked the constable and tore his trousers. Prisoner also bit him in the thumb. V 108 and V 382 went to the constable's assistance. They were also vio lently assaulted by the prisoner, and one of them was bitten by the prisoner. Aft er a severe s t rugg l e the prisoner was eventually overpower e d, and it required the exertions of tour policemen to tike him to the station-house. Mr. Selle asked if the prisoner was known ? Inspector Taunton, A Division, stated that he had once been charged with a highway robbery, and he had been convicted for assault on the police.

ARE CRIMINAL CHILDREN TO IsE MAINTAINED AT TIME EXPENSE OP THE STATE.--John Hubbrd, a rivetter, was summoned before Mr. iVoolrych by ex-Inspector Brannan, of the Reformatory Department, to show cause why he should not be compelled to contribute towards the mainte nance of his son, who had been committed to the Reforma tory School at Barlow, in Essex, on the 16th December, 1860, for five years. Mr. Brannan said the defendant's son was 11 years old when he was committed, and the defendant had not con tributed a farthing towards the support of his child. He could not trace him until recently, and he had ascertained that he was a rivetter, employed in a ship yard in tho Isle of Dogs, and was fully able to contribute towards the main tenance of his son. Mr. AVooirych—How many children hag the defendant :a maintain? Mr. Brannan--One, sir. He is in the receipt of good wages, and he has a wife and one child only to maintain at home. I was obliged to abandon the former order—he has evaded payment, and his son has been supported by the State for two years and a-half without the father contribut ing one farthing towards his support. Your Worship can order as much as ss. per week, but I only ask for an order for 2s. Gd., per week, which the defendant is well able to pay. Hubbard, in defence, said he was out of work and could not pay a .farthing. He wished his son to Le sent home .to him. r. Woolrych—Your wishes in that respect will not be complied with. You did not keep your son from evil doings before he was commilted, and you will not be allowed to have the boy until the time allotted for his de- tmtion in the Reformatory has expired. I think the office r has given very cogent reasons for an order being made on you for the sum of 2s. 6d. per week. I have noticed in the course of my experience as a magistrate, that parents are responsible tor the crimes of their children. It is owing, generally, to parental neglect, that children are guilty of offences against the laws of the country. Mr. Braunan.—ln the hundreds of thousands of cases that have come under my notice, juvenile offenders have been made so by the evil example and neglect of their parents. I never knew an instance to the contrary. The defendant thought it was a very hard case to be called on to contribute 2s. 6d. per week for the support of the Loy. Mr. Woolrych—You mean to say the parents of bad children are not to support them while the parents of good children, who set them a good example, are to maintain them. If criminal children are to be supported by the State, it will act as a premium for parents to make thieves of their sons and daughters. You have been evading pay ment for two and a half years, and I now order you to pay 2s. 6d. per week and 4s. costs, and if it is not paid regularly you will be committed to prison. SECOND EDITION.

(From Le Toilet.) As the season advances, doubt, which has hitherto reigned with reference to " La Mode," has given place to certainty ; and we can now speak with confidence of the various styles, both in material and make. The elegance consists more than ever in the uniformity of toilettes. Robe, bonnet, parasol, and even boots, must be of the same colour. We do not certainly approve of the liar - lequin dresses sometimes to be seen, but this season there is, we think, an abuse in a contrary direction; and these cos tumes, so exactly of the same shade, have more the appear ance of a uniform than an elegant toilette. However, the lady of taste and fashion has the happy intuition of wearing such a toilette at the right time and in the right place. White alpacas and light-coloured mohairs are very fashion able. The robe Mexicaine, a kind of satin gauzy material; the golden-brown taffetas, striped with black, and the ca mails, are also much in demand. Scotch plaids of two shades, are made in all the new materials. Muslins, organ dis, and all the light materials, are only waiting the advent of settled weather to appear in all their beautiful and grace ful designs. Foulards still continue in favour for walking dresses ; but the taffetas are more usually worn for visiting. White pail de chevre, trimmed with coloured ribbons, forms a very pretty and fresh-looking toilette. Summer dresses, in white muslin, printed muslin or pat terned organdis, are made with high, full bodies, or low bodies cut square, with which must be worn a pelerine, or a fichu Marie-Antoinette of the same material. The alpacas are reserved for morning dress. The Mexicaine is trimmed with narrow ruches of black taffetas and guipures, and is suitable for walking-dress. The taffetas of which we have. spoken are not the foulards for merly seen, but a splendid material, as strong and durable as the finest taffetas gros grain. Flounces are much worn. They are narrow, and placed in twos or threes, never reaching higher than the knee. As it is still the fashion to raise the skirt, it is indispensable that the petticoat should also hays a narrow flounce. Barege robes, in small designs, are trimmed with three narrow flounces, edged with ribbon. The moire antique is still worn on cold days. This robe is made with five narrow fluted frills and a flounce of lace, with a deep fan-like train. Lace is much employed as trimmings to dresses of taffetas, as well as upon shawls and mantles. Rotondes, forming shawls in front, are trimmed with ara besquts of braid and black chenille, and bordered with two, deep flounces of lace, separated by ruches of pinked taffetas put on with a narrow band of passementerie, worked with jet beads. . Many muslin dresses, with printed patterns, have the skirts made plain. Some are spotted with light blue or pink dots, and bands of the same colour in zigzags at the bottom, imitating ribbon or guipure. This style of muslin is quit e new, and only made in the best qualities. Doubtless this light and elegant design will remain in fashion all this season. Those spotted with azalias, with a wreath mount ing in palms, have a charming a ppearance. We also see foulards, with groups of azalias and grey foliage at equal distances. On turning to the subject of bonnets, we are informed that their forms have completely changed since last summer. They are generally very small, but truly graceful. The models vary in trimming. Feathers are much worn. Th e natural feathers, placed in bunches, are in good taste, and suit any toilettes. Hats may be chosen according to taste, but especial re gard shoula be paid to what is becoming to the wearer. There is the Incroyable, the Frondeur, and the Moissoneur. The first is exceedingly elegant, composed of Italian straw. The front has a double coque of maroon velvet, and two feathers ; one of the same shade as the velvet, the other whi e, placed rather high on the crown. The second is very stylish, made of black straw, with a high and pointed crown; broad edges, turned up on one side only. The edge is lined with red velvet; and in front, and rather on the flat side of the edge, are four large roses, encircled in black lace. We advise brunettes to adopt thi s style. The moissoneur is rather less stylish, but is very graceful and young. The crown is rather lower, and the edges are flat. A scarf of lace or fringed silk tied behind. The front is trimmed with a bouquet of flowers or a small bird. Round hats are younger and more fanciful than the bonnet. The postillon hat is destined for the country. Its form is a slight modification of the man's hat. The prettiest is of grey straw, edged with velvet to match, with a bow of the same fastening; a led feather in front, and a long grey one turning round the clown and slightly raised at the edge. generally made on the resille form with soft Zeal's are crowns , ..
