LAW INTELLIGENCE.---This Day, SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr Sergeant Tindal-Atkinson.) GILMORE V. BROOKS-HOW MANY YARDS ROUND ARE LADIES' DRESSES ? This was an action to recover £1 for making four em broidered skirts, and a witness (who attended on behalf of the plaintiff) said she was an experienced dressmaker. The work was well done, and the price charged only reasonable. Defendant said that the skirts were quite valueless to him. They were to have fitted a full-grown woman, but when sent home would hardly do for a girl of twelve, The skirts wete in court ; would his Honour like to see them ? His Honour would be very glad to see them it they could assist the Court in arriving at a correct decision. Defendant then produced two rather elaborately embroi dered skirts, and said--My orders to the plaintiff were to make the skirts five yards round, but when they were sent home I found them only 3/. Of course no lady could wear such a skirt. His Honour—Do you mean to say that 31 yards is not Aufficien t. Defendant—•l do. Now see, your Honour, and judge for yourself. Defendant here proceeded to measure the pattern skirt against one of those sent home by the plaintiff. His Honour (pointing to the smaller) —I consider that a very reasonable width indeed. (Laughter,) So far as lam concerned I much prefer it to the other. (Renewed laughter.) Defendant urged that there must be some allowance mado for the expansion of crinoline. Mr Buchanan reminded the Court that some allowance must also be made for the usual coroners' inquests. Plaintiff said she had made the skirts quite full enough for the fashion, and she had offered to take them back at the wholesale price and keep them, but this was refused. Defendant said plaintiff had certainly sent back some of the stuff. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. STRANGE DELUSION,—Thomas Renfree, a respectably dressed man, about 50 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with annoying Miss Louisa Van Noorden, the eminent vocalist and pianist. The complainant said—l reside at 115, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, The prisoner had been in the habit et annoying us, by calling upon us and saying he had very important business with us. This morning about six o'clock he came over from his lodgings, which are exactly opposite our house, and, after violently knocking at the door, said—" I have come to see the lady of the house ; she has called me over and has informed me from the window that she cannot die without seeing me." The servant very properly refused to admit him, and he went away. About seven o'clock he came back again, and he said—" I have called to see the lady of the house; she says she cannot die without seeing me. She tells me she had her throat cut by her husband last night, and that she must see me." He was refused admittance, and I then consulted the police as to the course I was to take supposing the prisoner called again, About 11 o'clock this morning he called again, and said there were three men on the roof of the house attempting to make a forcible entry, Prisoner—l said four. Mr Flower —Very well, but let the witness proceed. Prisoner—l went to the house because the lady was being murdered. She called out to me to come and see her. Complainant—When the prisoner came on the last occa sion I acted on the suggestion of the police, and gave him into custody. Mr Flower—Nov, prisoner, you can say what you please in answer to the charge. Prisoner--Well, I called at the house by desire of the lady who was being murdered. She said she could not die until I had had an interview with her, and I thick I ought to be allowed to see her. Mr Burnaby, chief clerk—Are there any of the defendant's friends present ? Complainant—Yes, I think there are several. Mr Flower—Do I understand you to assort that you saw the lady who is dying, and that she spoke to you ? Defendant—Yes. Mr Flower—When did you speak to her ? Defendant—This morning. I spoke to her from the window. She said, "Oh Renfree speak to me, do speak to me. God bless you ; do come over to me." Mr Burnaby—You did not know her name then, although she knew yours ? Defendant—Pardon me. I did not say I did. Mr Flower—That is of no importance. Go on with your statement. Defendant—Not important I I think it is. My only only object in walking up and down outside the house was to see the poor helpless creature. I have witnesses in court who can speak to my respectability. I felt it my duty to interfere where murder was being committed. Mr Watts, a gentleman residing in the same neighbour hood, said he had known the defendant for 10 or 12 years as a most respectable tradesman and dealer in minerals in Great Russell-street. He had been lately given to habits of intemperance, and no doubt his mind had been affected. Mr Flower—He seems to be of unsound mind at the present time. Defendant—That may be your opinion. It is not so. I again say I interfered from a strong sense of duty. Mr Flower (the police inspector) --You had better take the defendant to the workhouse, where he will be seen by the surgeon. (To the defendant)—You will go with the p eda ;e inspecto r? nnt--.Go with the inspector I I must obey the law, occur in this district, when sailors are taken into a room, where they soon become drowsy, and then fall to sleep. and while in that state they are robbed. WESTMINSTER. PITIABLE CONDITION OF AN AGED MOTHER. —William Moffett, a man 33 years of age, was charged with serious annoyance and wilful damage at the house of his mother Mrs Susan Moffett, 33 Berwick-street, Pimlico. The mother, who had the appearance of a decayed gen tlewoman, and who is upwards of 70 years of age, said that abe appeared against her own son, but he drove her to it by his own misconduct, and she felt it was necessary for her own protection. lie was constantly annoying her, and last night wilfully broke a pane of glass and so disturbed her lodgers that she feared she would lose them. Mr SelfJ—Does he live with you? Complainant—No, I should have liked him to have done so had his conduct been worthy ; it would have been a great protection and comfort to a person et my years to have had him with me, but I could not; he is constantly annoying me in different ways. Mr Selfo—What is the cause of his conduct ? Complainant—Drunkenness, lam sorry to say. He was was brought up to a good business and is a capital work man; ho can and does earn a great deal of money and spends it on drink, and then he comes and annoys me. Alr Selfe—ls that often ? Complainant—Frequently ; he comes at all hours and disturbs my peace. I have but a short time left me here, and I should much like to be at rest. He came last night intoxicated, and because I would not admit him threw a stone through one of my windows. Mr Selfe—What do you say, defendant, to such conduct towards your aged mother. Defendant—l will promise not to trouble her any more. Mr Selfe—Why not take the pledge and keep it. It seems all your misconduct arises from your drunkenness, Complainant—lt does; ho would be well enough if he kept sober. Defendant—l will take the pledge, I assure you I will. Mr Selfe—l will let you have an oppo rtunity of doing so, I will give you another chance, but pray understand me. If you are brought here again, take my assurance that I'll send you to prison without a fine.

To sum up, we cannot look beyond General'. Teel, Blair Athol, Miner, Ely, and Carabuscan for the ac heal winner. This lot it is hard to choose between, the two first named being particularly troublesome ; and the dif 'Dully may best be got over, perhaps, by sticking to " p üblic fore! and BLAIR ATHOL. 011:iNGE BLOSSO]f• Swift as the plunge cf cataract Comes out the ➢lelbourne bay.

WEsirox's RETREAT.—To-day was fixed for the bearing of a summons against Mr. Kent, of 21, Highgate•road, better known as Weston's Retreat. The gravamen of the charge which he had to answer was "That ho did procure and produce, or make use of a certificate, the matters or things therein certified, or some of them being false and particularly that he, the said William James Kent was the real resident holder and occupier of the dwelling house and premises in Highgats•road (some other person being in fact the holder and occupier thereof, and that he did make use ;of the certificate for the purpose of obtaining a license for the sale of ale, beer, and porter on the said premises, knowing the said matters, or some of them, to be false." Mr Gordon, solicitor, who appeared for Mr Copestake, said Mr Kent had agreed to leave the "Retreat," and therefore Mr Copestake, who had taken out the summons, wished to stay all further proceedings. This was acceded to Mr Mansfield, and the summons was withdrawn, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN TIIE STREETS.— George Smith and John Murphey, two bulky lads, were charged before Mr Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in Wardour-street, last night. Fisher, 331 A, said that about 9 o'clock last night he saw the two prisoners quite naked running in Wardour street, pursued by about 200 persons. lie took both pri soners into custody. Mr Knox inquired whether the prisoners were sober and quite naked, and the constable said they were both sober and only had a piece of rag round each of their loins. Harry James Bristow, the gate porter at St. James's Workhouse, said he was called the previous evening to the gate and told the tramps were tearing up their clothes. He went to the police-station to ask what he was to do, and while there the prisoners were brought in. Mr Knox inquired whether they had applied to be ad - mitted. Bristow could not say. He had admitted 26 persons to the casual ward. Every evening a number of tramps were in the habit of coming and lying outside the workhouse and amusing themselves by singing indecent songs. Mr Knox said it was absurd to suppose that two great bulky fellows like the prisoners could be permitted to run naked through the streets. Ho should order them to find one bail each for £5 for a month. THAMES. DARING WATCH ROBBERIES OF SAILORS.—A man named Williams, with a female, about 20 years of age, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with robbing a sailor, named Charles Astrop, of his watch and chain, The prosecutor stated that he was in Rateliff-highway when he met the prisoners, who spoke to him, and who asked him to give them something to drink. While he was talking to them a soldier came up. After a short time they went away together till they came to New-court, where he was pushed into a house by the female prisoner, where they went into a room. He had not anything to drink there, but somehow or other he got overcome, and fell to sleep. When he awoke ho missed his watch and chain and some money. The money he did not care for, but he was sorry for the loss of his watch and chain. He made his escape from the house, and gave information to a police constable. Policeman Walker, 488 K, said that he saw the prose cutor pushed into the house, and that in a few minutes after he heard a disturbance in the house. When tho prosecu tor came out he stated that he had been robbed of his watch and chain, and that ho had also lost his waist coat, The prosecutor hero remarked that he had lost his waist coat before he got in the house. Kenney, 390 K, stated that while he was outside the house, ho heard the prisoners say, " We've got the watch." Some female inside observed, " And wo mean to stick to it, too," The prisoners were apprehended, In answer to the Magistrate, The prosecutor stated that the soldier was in the room when he was first there, but that he did not interfere. The male prisoner swore that he would knock his (prose cutor's) b--- head off. Mr Partridge remarked that he should commit the pri soners for trial, and he directed that the constable should be subpoenaed. The prisoners wore committed. The above is one of those cases which very frequentl BEACON. Finally, according to all we have seen this year, the conteet ought to lie between Blair Athol, Miner, and Gene ral Peel ; but as the latter has given indications that he is not gifted with the staying powers necessary to get a mile and three-quarters, I believe we shall see BLAIR ATKOL effect the double victory, and that his most dangerous op• ponent will be The Miner.

Suffice to say, the Red House reached, that well-known voice of Steele Exclaims in his stentorian tones, "A level 'thou' on Peel 1" But ore the words have left his lips, he would they were forgot, For at the distance dying away, the General's bolt is shot ; But Whitewall's chance looks rosy yet, for Ashmall's close at hand, Now "Baragah," "Blair Athol" now, re-echo through the Stand ; They struggle home, both Stockwell's sons, a game and resolute pair, But Snowden waits at Ashmall's girths, and "cops" a length on Blair. * • * • • • So, you that have cash "lump it on," and you that have —borrow ; Believe me, you will not have cause to rue it on the mor row; And when you see BLAIR ATUOL win on Doncaster's old moor, Remember who 'twas told you right, and think of " Trou badour." (From the Field) OBSERVER. In conclusion, there will no doubt be important changes in the market before the race comes off, and which may affect the chances of several animals now in the background. But if the cracks of the day remain in their positions, and run as they did in the Derby, I have a strong preposses sion that the increased time, and the change in the course, will be so beneficial to GENERAL PEEL as to enable him to verify the opinion both of his late and present trainer, of being by far the beat three-yr-old of the season, and the most probable winrer of the St. Leger. Next to hire► I think MINER will be discovered; but in spite of my doubts as to his staying, I should advise my readers to avoid tak ing any liberties with BLAIR ATnoL. (From the Sunday Times.) We have a very great respect for Blair Athol and the overlooked PEON, but we cannot reconcile ourselves to the idea that either of them will make GENERAL PEEL lower his colours next Wednesday, for he will have much greater advantages in the north than ever he had in the south, w here he not only sweated profusely in his preliminary gallop for the blue riband, bt was ridden to a stand still in the race for that much envied trophy. (From the Sporting Life.) AUGUR. I have now examined every horse's prospect of success, and consider the struggle confined to four—Blair Athol, General Peel. Ely, and Miner—and, being bold enough t o anticipate the judge, I shall venture to prognosticate the three first positions as under—BLAlß, ATHOL 1, GENERAL PEEL 2, ELY 3. ORLANDO. Yet the Pitman ne Ter q uitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, On the grate as stern as Pluto, and he raps just as before.

TOUCHSTONE. We are strongly prepoesessed in favour of Blair Athol and General Peel, and are most inclined to Ely, Miner, Baragah, and Coast Guard of the remainder. From the fact of Baragah having been Co recently amiss, and the demons t ra tion that has apparen tl y set in so strongly against him we do not think him so taking as the other three, one of whom, we think, is bound to finish among the leading trio. But they are not so worthy of notice as Blair Athol and General Peel, and, in accordance with our usual cus tom, we shall thus anticipate the fiat of the judge :—GENE gm, PEEL, 1; BLAIR ATHOL, 2; ELY, 3. THE " STABLE MOUSE." I will now, if you please, "cut for the lead," and this is the conclusion to which the Stable Mouse has come as to the St Leger of 1864 :—THE MINER, 1; GRNERPEEL, 2; J3Liali ATRoL, 3. —.

At Greenock the amount collected was £101,027. against £128,528 in August. 1803, and £121,276 in August, 1862. At Glasgow the receipts were £87,378, against £87,038 in August, 1863, and 179,502 in August, 1862. The returns for Port Glasgow are not yet to hand. The exports of Scotch pig iron in the first eight months of this year amounted to 444,976 ton , against 408,230 tons in the cor responding period of 18G 5,, and 404,232 tons in the corres ponding period of 1862. Timm'. eider that the Miner for a place invests sent is almost a cer tainty ; and, in conclusion, I shall expo of to see GENIEAL PEEL Ist, BLAIR ATHOL 2d, MINER 3d'. :From the illustrated Sporting News.) We believe Blair Athol to be the beet horse of his year over Epsom, but on the flat at Doncast er, that fine stride and splendid action of General Peel's wi3l be lbs. in hie favour, and he has had a long rest, nothing taken out of him, but all the go that the skill and care of the " Wizara of the North" could infuse into him he has received at his hands, and Lord Glasgow runs his horses to win whether the money is on or not. Wo must therefore assign the proud position of winner of the Great St. Leger of 1864 to General Peel. OMEGA. Now the General tiring in the very last etride, Allows Challoner one hope on Blair Athol. The excitement is great, and I here relate, A dead heat is made by fine riding ; Master Richard is third, a neck from this pair, While Baragah is beaten half a length here. They run off the race, a fiver I lay out with Steel, Glasgow is hailed the winner with his GENERAL PEEL. (Front the Eporiing Pilot.) Oar cogitations lead us to believe that General Peel's most dangerous opponents and immediate attendants will be found to be Baragah, Blair Athol, Ely, Miner, Totten ham and Brindisi. P.
