Each waggon contained two tons, making no less than 36 tons of ammunition, consisting of ball cartridges, packed in barrels containing 460 rounds each, 15 I 3i THE BUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1864. LAW IN TELLIGENCE.—This Day, SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr Under-Sheriff Burchall and a Jury). STANFORD V. HANDFORD. The plaintiff was formerly a member of the Corps of Commissionaires, of which the defendant is the sergeant major. He had brought an action for assault and false im prisonment, which being undefended, came to-day before the court for the assessment of damages. Mr Best appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Wood for the defendant. From the opening speech of the learned counsel for the plaintiff, afterwards supported by evidence, it appeared that Stanford had had considerable difficulty in obtaining a settlement of his claim upon Captain Walter, the manager of the carps, for services rendered as a member of the band. On the 19,h January last ho insisted on being paid, when the defendant, taking offence it was supposed at the persistence of the plaintiff, rushed at him and attempted to take from him by force a euphonium which Stanford was in the habit of 'playing. It was not disputed that this musical instrument was the property of Captain Walter, and had been entrusted to Stanford, in whose sole posses sion it had remained for several months, and who paid a stipulated sum for its hire, as well as for the use of the two snits of uniform supplied to him. Stanford demurred to deliver up the instrument until he was paid, whereupon a police-constable was sent for, and the officer declining to obey Handford's command to take it forcibly from the plaintiff, who, at the time, believed he had a lien upon it, was then ordered by Handford to take the plaintiff into custody on a charge of stealing the musical instrument in question. He was accordingly conveyed from the barracks of the corps, in the Strand, to the police-station, in Bow-street, Hand ford accompanying the police constable in charge of the plaintiff. On the case being stated to the inspector, that officer at once ordered the discharge of the plaintiff on the ground that there was no pretence for charging him with felony. The euphonium and the clothes were afterwards given up, but the plaintiff had failed to obtain payment of what was due to him. It was alleged as an aggravation that the defendant went to the office of the Vintage Wine Company, where the plaintiff was engaged, and sought to deprive him of his employment. Mr. Best urged that the character of his client, extending over 25 years good con duct in the army, and in the police force, ought not to have been endangered by such arbitrary and illegal conduct, and the learned counsel eloquently demanded redress. Mr. Wood having addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, The Learned Under-Sheriff said it was most important that people should distinguish between cases calling for cri minal proceedings and those requiring civil process, He had heard in this case of a sergeant-major and his superior officers, but although this corps appeared to have some thing like a military organisation, he believed it was not regularly constituted or legally recognised by the autho rities, but was a society mutually agreeing among them selves. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £lO. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE RICHARDS. This bankrupt was a carpenter, cf Mile-end Old Towu, and this was an application for release from custody. Mr Sargood, on behalf of the trustees of a lady named Hamilton, opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had put the detaining creditors to a very large expense in consequence of his having seized and taken possession of certain property. The leases of the property had fallen in, and the bankrupt, acting as the agent of two females who had set up a claim proceeded to collect the rents, and was charged be fore the magistrate and fined, but that had no effect, for the bankrupt continued his proceedings, and on the case being again heard the question of title was raised, and the trustees were compelled to bring an action to recover the property, and a verdict was given against him. The trustees had bean put to £4OO expense, and the bankrupt was liable for £lBO costs. Mr Sargood asked that the release should stand over until after the choice of asssignees. The release was therefore refused. IN RE ESTCOI7RT. This bankrupt was a barrister at the Isle of Wight, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge, whioh was adjourned till November next by consent. NEW RELE. His Honour said ho must lay down a rule not to hear applications or other matters before those on the list had been disposed of, and it would be desirable to take the un opposed cases each hour before the opposed cases, and that would relieve many persons from further attendance. This course was adopted this morning, and certainly afforded considerable relief. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. A stupid looking boy, about 17 years of age, who was, or affected to be, deg and dumb, was charged with stealing a pocket-book from the person of George Power. As the prisoner u hen spoken to presented a dogged silence and seemed not to hear a word of what was said to him, he was put back, while the constable fetched a person ac quainted with the finger alphabet to interpret, On the arrival of the interpreter he was instructed to ask the prisoner his name, and put the question by means of the usual sign, making them very slowly and distinctly. The prisoner, however, by a shake of the head and a wava of the hand, indicated willingly enough that he did not understand. The interpreter—He Pretends not to understand. Mr Vaughan—Then do you think that he really does understand ? The interpretor—lf he is deaf and dumb he must under stand, for he could not supply his most ordinary wants without some such mode of communication. Mr Vaughan—Perhaps he is mute of malice. Prisoner, you have pretended not to understand what is said to you in words, and now you either do not understand, or pretend not to understand, the alphabet used by the dumb. I must assume that you have some means of communication, and I shall proceed with the case, and the evidence shall be given in the natural language. George Power deponed that about three o'clock this morning ho was sitting on a bench in the mall in St James's Park. The prisoner was sitting beside him. Witness hav ing felt something touoh his coat, put his hand in his pocket, and missed his pocket-book. A hole had been cut in the pocket. He accused the prisoner of robbing him, when the prisoner pointed along the mall, and indicated by gesture that some person had ran away. He therefore detained the prisoner until a constable came up and took him into custody. In the meantime the prisoner struggled violently, and witness was obliged to throw him down. The prisoner kicked him about the legs, bit him in the cheek, and pulled out a handful of his whiskers. Police-constable Kirby, 100 A, deposed that ho found the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling on the ground, and took the prisoner into custody. On searching him at the station house, the purse was found concealed in the leg of his trousers. It was identified by the prosecutor, who valued it at 2s. It contained nothing but memoranda. The Interpreter said he thought he could convey the evidence to the prisoner by gesticulation. Mr Vaughan thought it was unnecessary, and addressing the prisoner the magistrate said,—Whether you stand "mute of malice," or whether you really can not under stand, is more than I can tell, but there is sufficient doubt to satisfy me that 1 ought not to dispose of this case. I will send you for trial, and leave it to a jury to decide. As a matter of form I will admister tho oath. This was done, and the prisoner, .who still remained mute, whether of malice or otherwise, was committed for trial, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AUCTIONEER CHARGED WITH A SERIOUS ASSAULT. —Mr Edward W. Cannon, auctioneer and house agent, of No. 4, Hart-street, Bloomsbury -square, was charged before Mr Knox with violently assaulting Alfred Howley, a young man employed as a waiter at Mr Gilbert's oyster rooms, No. 5, Oxford-street. Mr E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for ;he prisoner. Alfred Howley said—Last night ➢lr Cannon's servant brought back a lobster, objecting to it, and asked for the money to be returned. This was refused, and Mr Cannon then brought it back himself, and created a great disturb• ants, calling in some loose women who were about. I put my hand on his arm. to put him out of the shop when he knocked me down and kicked] me in the chest. I had requested him several times to leave. Mr Knox—Was Mr Cannon drunk or sober? Howley—He was sober, and all I did was to put my hand on his arm to get him out. By Mr Lewis—l refused to return the money for the lobster, because it was not all there, The shop is next door to the Oxford Music Hall. About a dozen women were in he place. I did not take up a knife and look at Mr Cannon. My mistress took the knife I had been using off the coun ter and went into the parlour. When I put my hand on Mr Cannon I had not a knife in it. There were several persons present at the time. Wm. Good, also in the employ of Mr Gilbert, said—Mr Cannon came in last night and caused a great disturbance, and a crowd collecte I round the shop. He would not leave, and Howley put his hand on his arm, and then Mr Cannon knocked Howley down and kicked him in the chest. By Mr Lewis—Howley had no knife in his hand when he approached Mr Cannon. The knife was taken away and put in the parlour, but that was because Mr Cannon said he would knife Howley. I do not know whether the knife was taken into the parlour to prevent complainant using it. Joseph Newington, a young man, who was passing at the time, said—l saw Mr Cannon in the shop showing a lobster to everyboby, and complaining about not getting his money returned. I saw Howley knocked down and locked. ----- By Mr Lewis—Howley had not got a knife in his hand, William Moorcroft, 165 E —I was called to the shop, and there was a great disturbance. I saw Mr Cannon knock down Howlay, and then kick him. Mr Cannon 110 been drinking, and wanted to g've the Waiter in ch4tr, By Mr Lewis—Mr Cannon said Howley had R knit i n his hand, but I saw none. Mr Lewis addressed the ma2;is!rate at some length in Mr Cannon's behalf, and called a witness—Mr Porter, of 2, Tavistock-street—who gave evidence which did not mate rially affect the evidence of the other witnesses. Howley—l have spat blood all night, and have two hand kerchiefs saturated with it. Mr John Powdrell, of 46, Great Marlborough-street, M.R.C.S., said I have examined Howley,and do not think there is any danger from the injury he has received. Mr Knox—A more brutal and dastardly act 1 never heard of. You (Mr Cannon) a man of enormous strength, knock down and kick the waiter, who is a mere boy and scarcely half your size. I will no: send you to prison, which pro bably would have the result of ruining you for life, but I shall inflict the highest penalty upon you that the law allows, believing that the publicity the affair will obtain will fix upon you a stain ,rou will not get over for many a long day. You will have to pay £5, or be committed for a month with hard labour. I am sorry that lam not enabled by law to give the waiter tome compensation. Tho fine was paid. . A WILD Boy's CAREER .—John Williams, a short thick-set boy, was charge( before Mr Knox with stealing a pair of boots from a boutqaker in the Tottenh9.m-oourt road. The case was proved agtinst tho boy, who all the while he was in the dock grinned, and seemed rather pleased at his position. Mr Knox asked him if lb had any parents ? The boy said he had na mother, and his father was in America. the gaoler of the court, to Barns,to his history, and Barns after wards had informed him that he h a d makebee l nirii inquiries reported nu p oi r rx i i s e o so n ortfdh a etarh t teetahbeYs boyMaidstone, Holloway, Wandsworth, Coldbath-fields, and elsewtete for robberies, and that „he was anxious to go to sea. The boy said he had to steal fora living, as he was not allowed to beg. Mr Knox--The boyjwas to be pitied, for, as he stated if he begged ho was locked up and he had no means of living. He should commit him for a month, with hard labour ; and if he was really sincere in hit wish to go to sea, and came to the court when he came ott of prison, he would see what could be done for him. The boy seemed much pletsed at the result. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON CLUB MEETING,—TituttsDAY. A card containing 10 races was a return to the much abused Ascot programme, the length of which has been so much commented upon by the various sporting journals. The Club had evidently considered quantity instead of qua lity, so a move to the Course at an early hour was rendered necessary. Some excitement was caused on the arrival of the papers from town by the announcement, which appeared in The Sun, that Scottish Chief was scratched for the St. Leger. Rumours had been current to that effect last evening, and this morning brought the confirmation. The Claret Stakes, with gentlemen riders, and for which the non-staying Bertha was made a warm favourite, were carried off by Nebula. An objection against the winner on the ground of her not having reached the post when the flag was lowered was overruled by the stewards. The 100 Sov Plate was won very easily by Nukuheva, a very questionable piece of riding on the part of the jockey of Anti-Macassar, the second horse, opposite the Stand, being greeted with deserved marks of disapprobation as he passed the chair. Neither the owner nor trainer of the horse was on the ground ; Lord Portsmouth, one of the most honourable men on the turf, having the misfortune to stand sponsor to him on the occasion. The rest of the racing was unimportant in character. Le Mandarin easily disposed of his field in the Biennial, and then came a suc cession of plates and sweepstakes, with small fields, and horses of no particular calibre, . There was a falling off in the attendance from that of yesterday, though the weather was still beautiful.

A DANGEROUS RESOLVE.---A very respectable old woman in appearance came to Mr Arnold this morning, and solicited protection because sha went in great fear. Mr Arnold—Of whom have you to complain? Applicant —My own son, who behaves very wrongly. He lives with me, and he don't knock tne about as some sons do, but he abuses me and brings a horrible woman home with him to my house. I want you to keep her away. Mr Arnold—l cannot interfere. vsaeyrysowlell,Ybouut can't. can, Sh e i s such a Applicant—Dear me, you don't l‘ A l p r p A li r o n en ol t d - - B M ut us i t alroTsuhraet'ys you u ll hor rible woman. Mr Arnold—How horrible? Applicant—Why, she goes about the house quite— without her clothes, your worship, and uses the most hor rible threats. Mr Arnold—What are the threats ? Applicant—She not only goes about as I have described, but she says all manner of shocking things about me, and she declares she will set the house on fire A police sergeant stood forward and said that he did not think that the old lady's fears were without grounds. The woman of whom she complained was a very low, indolent person, not at all unlikely to carry her threat of setting the house on fire into execution She Was seen in the house in question,which was in Mermaid's -yard, Chelsea, walking about in a state of nudity, Applicant added that shehad struck her twice, and that she was terrified to go in an' out of the house while she was there. Mr. Arnold said that the person complained of seemed to be a most dangerous and violent person, and he should therefore issue a warrant fig her immediate apprehension. THNME S. THE SCHOOLMASTER AID 1118 CANE. --A respectable woman, named spencer, copiplained to Mr Paget, that the under-master of the Stepney Meeting School had severely flogged her son, a rather delicate boy, 10 years old. The man's name was M`Naugt,t. He had severely punished her boy seven weeks ago, but she overlooked that, believing that if her boy would not learn his lessons he must be cor rected. A more severe punishment, coupled with the fact that others had complained of M'Naught, induced her to appeal to the magistrate. It answer to the magistrate, as to the nature of the school, she said that she paid 4d per week, and that the school adjoined and was connected with the Stepney Meeting House, attended by a congregation of independents. Mr Paget—A congregation of Dissenters ? Mrs Spencer--Yes, sir. Mr Paget—Very good, let me see the boy's back. The mother bared the back of the child and exhibited weals and black and blue marks on it, and on the upper part of his arm. Mr Paget—What was that done with? The boy—A cane, sir. Mr Paget—A severe caning, certainly. _ _ The boy having arranged his dress and covered his back, the magistrate said to real injury had been done, and advised the mother not to get her boy into the notion that her boy had been very iil used. The boy's head and loins had not been touched. If that had been done, he would have interfered. He should not grant a summons in this case. He hoped this Mr M'Naught would exercise a little discretion in t4e administration of punish ment to boys of tender years. The mother of the boy seemed a little disappointed at the result of her application, and as she left the court said if her boy was ill-used again in a similar manner, she would take the law into her own hawk,.

I n refe ference to the employment of Briti s h o ffi cers, the t treaty reply of Prince Kling to the despatch of Sir F. Bruce contains the following statement of the views and intentions of ~, ".9 Chinese Go. "Where British vernmcut ;troops are engaged in protecting the mercantile community at one of the ports, these being troops. ,placed there by the British Government, which ob jects to their moving away from the port, the cooperation of such troops against any rebels that may approach the port rests entirely with the foreign Government. These troops not being in Chinese pay, no r subject to Chinese control, the Chinese Government has certainly no right to direct their movements, nor has it anything to say to their discipline. This there can be no question abed. But when the Chinese Government purchases vessels and guns, a 4— ti appoints a high officer to take command of them, the foreign mili tary officers whom it may engage to assist in the instruction of its forces, inasmuch as these are in the pay of the Government, cannot limit their ser vioes to action against the enemy only at the ports of trade. Their movements and the distribution of them must be entirely under the direction of the Chinese Government."

HEALTH OF MR. JUSTICE WILLIAMS, -- No further intelrgence had been received at the learned judge's town residence this morning, so that it is supposed that his lordship is no worse. OLIVER GOLDSMITH IN TROUBLE.—At the Gal. way Assizes last week Mr Whilton brought an action against Oliver Goldsmith—who claims to be a de scendant of the poet—to recover the value of a diamond ring, entrusted to the defendant for the purpose of having its value ascertained in Dublin. The defendant, it seems, placed it on his finger outside his glove, and before he had proceeded tar on the road ho missed it, and was never able to find it. It was valued by its owner at £lOO, but the jury set a more moderate value on it, and awarded the plaintiff £2O and costs. It appears that the modern Oliver has inherited the careless habits of his ancestor. AQUATICS. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.. The contest for the 100 Sovs Cup and £25 prize, partially reported in The Sun of yesterday, is yet undecided, the leading yachts having concluded their second round of the course at so late an hour that, as had been anticipated, the match will have to be sailed over again. Yesterday the grand event of the Squadron Regatta came off—the race for her Majesty's Cup, a handicap for schooners and yawls belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron. The following vessels entered :—Ursuline yawl, 112 tons (Mr H. Villebois)—Titaraia schooner, 181 tons (the Earl of Rosse)—Aline schooner, 216 tons (Captain C. S. A. Thellusson)—Vestal, 74 tons (Sir Bruce Chichester) — Al bertise schooner, 1,56 tons (Lord Londesborough)—Cissy schooner, 121 tons (Mr F. K. Dumas)—Viking schooner•, 142 tons (Mr Inglis Jones)—lntrepid schooner, 75 tons (Count F. Da Monceau). The Cissy did not put in an appearance. Theremaining seven took up the positions assigned them at the proper time off the Squadron Club-house. In the early morning a dead calm prevailed, but about 10 a.m. light airs sprang up, at first unsteady and from different points of the compass, but at 10 30 a.m. the chances of there being a sufficiency of wind to sail out the match during the prescribed limit of time (I& 9 p.m.), the seven competing craft were started, and at 10 40 the leading vessels passed Old Castle Point with their main booms over their quarters and sheets eased off. Between Ryele and the mainland at this time the wend was springing up to what may be termed a nice light breeze from NE by N. As the yachts passed Norris Castle they began to improve their pace under the influence of the fresh ening breeze which they were bringing up with them, and they laid their course up the middle channel for the Nor man and Warner, the Albertine leading, with the Aliene Viking, and Intrepid next, and Vestal, Titania, and Ursu line following. Bringing the wind up with them, they passed Ryde pier head as follows, their bearing from the pier line when timed being due north :-- H. M. 8, H. H. S. Albertine Viking 11 11 3 29 1 5 17 2 U T i rt a l i i s ne : 11 11 Y 9 20 Intrepid 17 Mine Running down past the Sandhead shoals, the Norman,and the Warner light vessel, they jibbed round as follows, the Aline having passed the Viking and Intrepid, and taken second place : s. s. Albertine Aline Viking Intrepid Flying kites were now taken in, as the vessels made prepa rations for beating their way back westwards to Calshot light, there being still a moderately full sail breeze from WNW. The Albertine made a long board for the main land, and half an hour after going round the Warner tacked under Southsea Castle—the Aline and Viking tack ing also at the same time. The Intrepid made a short board for the island shore when off the Horse Sand Fort, some short time before the others. The Vestal made a long board, and went about under Southsea, following the ex ample of the leading vessels. The remainder made short tacks. Albertine, Aline, and Viking stood off from South sea towards the Sandhead, and again went about in deep water and in the main strength of the weather tide for the westward, the Albertine still maintaining her original lead over the Mine, although the latter had obtained the second place. In working through Spithead the Intrepid improved her position in the race, while the Vestal at the same point damaged hers. The Albertine kept her reach for South ampton Water until far enough to windward to weather Calshot light-vessel, which she accomplished by going about at Ih. 33m,, and was followed by the others as they weathered the lightship. After weathering Calshot the leading vessels met with the wind freshening to a glorious strength, and they made their boards along the north shore is rattling style, round the mark-boat moored off Egypt Point, and completing the first round, or one-half of their work, in the following differences of time : M. M. S. H. M. 8. Albertine Mine 2 20 15 Vestal .. Viking Intrepid The wind continued steadily fresh at W.N.W., and the yachts commenced their second round with every proLabi lito of bringing the race during the remainder of the day to a decisive termination, but yachting chanoes in matches under sail are, generally speaking, beyond man's control, and sometimes beyond his comprehension in their results. In order to afford some definite clue to the position of the vessels on the completion of their first round of the course, we append here the handicap allowance of time as arranged by the Squadron Sailing Committee : —Aline allows Tita nia,lll2 min. ; Albertine, 17 min.; Viking, 20 min. ; Vestal, 20 min, ; Ursuline, 33 min, ; Intrepid, 37 min. The difference iu the time named between the different vessels will give the time allowance from one vessel to the other. The same fortunate strength of breeza accompanied the yachts on their second round, and the Albertine and Aline still maintained their lead. When off the checkered buoy of the Brambles, off Southampton river, the Albertine had the lead of the Aline by 4 minutes, and the prize was then apparently hers. The squadron prizes will be sailed over again for to-day. To-morrow the Royal Yacht Squadron give a prize to be sailed for of the value of 100 guineas, the Arrow being ex cluded from the race. Aline came in first, Albertine second ; the latter takes the cup by time, 16 minutes. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Aug. s.—Wind this day at noon—South- West ; moderate breeze and fine weather.

THE ALLEGED ELOPEMENT OF A CLERGYMAN'S WIFE,—The IVestern Daily Mercury has given publication to a detailed statement of the elopement o f th e wife of a clergyman named Fluewellin, with a man servant of the family, who rejoices in the nam e o f J ohn Mutters, not the least part of the infamy of th e t ransaction be i ng that the guilty p air carried off the unfortunate clergyman's plate and even his watch. The " Clergy List" is innocent of the name of Mr Fluewellin, and no trace of him is to be found in " Crockferd'e Cler'cal Directory," a circumstance which, however, is not to be much wondered at, as the Church has no Mr Fluewellin in the ranks of her ministry. Upon inquiry it tut us out that the gentleman upon whom this domestic misery has fallen is not a clergyman, but a dairyman, whose only claim to the spiritual character is that he occasionally enlightens the people of Mount Rad ford, near Exeter, on religious matters in the interest of dissent. Mr, I‘l utters, instead of being the confidential butler in charge of the family plate, is the person who used to carry out the milk to Mr Fluewellin's customers. DISCOVERY OF MEERSCHAUM IN A SCOTCH QUARRY.—Some days ago, the men employed at the Devonian or old red sandstone quarry, situated on Mr Peter Sharp's farm, 'Waster Bardrill, observed a soft whitish substance in veins traversing the upper portion of the rock. A quantity of it was sent to Mr R. Smith, a nalytical che mist, Blackford, near Dunning, who ascertained that ;t is what is well known by the name of meerschaum or keff kil. The rock where the substance occurs is the conglomerate stratum of the old red sandstone series, in which there are rarely any fossils found.--Dundee Advertiser. The fine old mansion of Colonel Af. e Murdo, on the banks of the Thames, was yesterlay totally dLsaoyed by fire, with all its valuable contents. Mr William Charles Levey, the talented com poser of the charming Operetta " Fanchotte," has returned to London, and is, we are happy to say, completely restored to health. jak Is Of cut I the nily. nda - l op's It is oda sty's bac° jestY apt rine' r i l 3 from Loyal r,oujo r re• E arl e ller.
