CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Benjamin Everett, who was found guilty on Tuesday of receeiving a quantity of leather well knowing it to have been stolen, and whose case was referred to yesterday in the Sun, was this morning placed before the learned judge for sentence. His lordship, after remarking at some length on the evil results likely to follow from such conduct as that of the prisoner, sentenced him to 15 years' penal servitude. The case of James Snoade Lawes, who was indicted for infringing the bankrupt laws, was then proceeded with. Mr. Gifford having addressed the jury for the prisoner, His lordship summed up, and the jury, after an absence of two hours, returned a verdict of nct guilty. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Mr. Justie, Byles.) IVEBBE V. THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE. This was an action brought for the recovery of a sum of money alleged by the plaintiff to be due to him for work performed. The plaintiff was engaged by the council of the Dramatic College to erect a number of houses at Woking, which were to form the residences of aged and decayed actors, and which were to be known as the Dramatic College. After the work had proceeded some time the Council felt dissatisfied with the manner in which it was being performed, and ultimately the arrangement with the plaintiff wes brought to a con clusion, and then a bill to a very large amount was sent to the Council by him for extra expenses. The Council re fused to pay the amount, and the present action was brought to compel them to do so. After the plaintiff's case had proceeded for some time, a consultation took place between the learned counsel engaged in the case, and it was ultimately decided that the question between the plaintiff and the Council of the College should be settled by arbitration. The Jury, then, by direction of learned judge, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, subject to a reference. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MARWICK V. MARWICK. This was a petition presented by the wife against her husband praying for a judicial separation. The plaint ff alleged that she had 'been subject to ill usage from respondent for a considerable time. He used to kick and beat her, and his ill-usage was very frequently increased owing to his habits of intoxication. The court decreed a rule nisi. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE ALLCOCK. This bankrupt was described as of Shoreham, near Seven oaks, Kent, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts were £5,070 and the assets were only £lB9. The principal debt is due to a Mr. Crampton for 4579, on an overdrawn account in 1860 and 1861, the bankrupt having taken a sub-contract on the London, Dover, and Chatham Railway, which he alleged he was unable to carry out from insufficiency of means. Mr. Lawrance said that Mr. Crampton was not in the least unfriendly to the bankrupt, who had undertaken a contract beyond his strength. His Honour (to the bankrupt)—How long have you been in business ? Bankrupt—Twenty-six years. His Honour said that the bankrupt had taken the con tract without means—he had not, however, been bankrupt or insolvent before, and might, therefore, take his dis charge. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A LAMENTABLE STORY.—Charles George Fryett, a shoemaker, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and riotous and violently ringing the bells and knocking at the door of No. 10, Carnaby-street, without a lawful excuse. Woodyer, 159 C, deposed to seeing the prisoner acting in a noisy manner outside the house No. 10, Carnaby street, and as he refused to go away he took him into eust..dy. Mr. Edwards, who occupies the lower part of the house No. 10, Carnaby-street, said that about cue that morning he was aroued by violent knocking and ringing of bells, and at first thought the house was in flames. The prisoner demanded to s:e a female, who, he said, was his wife, and as soon as he saw her he arsailed her with the most filthy latiguage, and to escape from him she ran out of the house, but afterwards came bick, the prisoner at that time being seated on the stair. Prisoner—She has beer living with a man who has cut his throat. The witne.sq that was not The case. The female came to thc: house as a sligle woman, and the man (whose name is Sinebeer) was a friend of the prisoner, but in conse quence of what the prisoner had reported about him, it had so affected his mind, that he cut Lis throat. Mr. Knox--Is he dead ? The witness said that he was not, but that he was lying in the Middlesex Hospital without any hopes of surviving. Mr. Knox—l feel a difficulty in the case, as it cannot be said that where a man's wife and child are he has no lawful excuse for knocking and inquiring at the house. It is a lamentable story altogether. I shall order the prisoner to find one tail in the sum of £5 to be of good behaviour for 6 months. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWTON RACES.-FRIDAY.

TELEGRAPH-STREET, E.C. , June 13. SlR,—The following messages one of which left San Francisco, June 2, at 9.20 p.m., wt re brought by the China, which sailed from New York on the morning of the 3d, and arrived at Queenstown last night. The substance of these messages was de spatches to St. Petersburg this morning (13th). These massages have been sent from San Francisco, on the Pacific, to St. Petersburg, on the Neva, in 101 days, 91 of which were consumed in traversing the Atlantic by steamer. These messages demonstrate that when an At lantic cable is successfully laid, St. Petersburg and the great telegraphic system of Russia, reaching almost to the frontier of China, will be able to com municate with San Francisco and the British pos sessions on the Pacific within 24 hours. C. F. PARLEY. Fred. McCrellish, Director of the Columbia Telegraph, San Francisco, to Cyrus W. Field, on board the China. , "June 2, 9.20 p.m. "I congratulate you on the prospect of your final effort to lay the Atlantic cable. We have successfully built and put into operation telegraph lines connecting San Francisco on the Pacific with the Atlantic States. We have also built a line to Yreka, on the extreme northern boundary of Columbia, and a line will be built this season from the latter place to Portland or Egon, which is 260 miles from Victoria, Vancouver's island. This gap we shall build next lea'. ; and when done Victoria will be as near to New York by telegraph as San Francisco. Then lay the Atlan tic cable, and the North Pacific, by the magic telegraph, will speak to the Mediterranean." H. W. Carpenter, President of the Overland Telegraph Company, San Francisco, to Cyrus W. Field. " June 2, 12.15 p.m. "We congratulate you on the prospect of the early suc cess of your great enterprise. In the meanwhile we on the shores of the Pacific are not idle. Already we talk to you across an entire continent as if face to face. Next year, I hope, will find you in telegraphic communication with Oregon, Victoria, and British Columbia, another year with Mexico, and three years with London and Paris by way of the Amoor and St. Petersburg. " The Overland Telegraph has demonstrated the prac ticability of transmitting messages through long circuits. Despatches have repeatedly been sent direct from New York to San Francisco, a distance of about 4,000 miles, by wire, with as much ease, accuracy, and despatch as if the distance were but fifty "May you meet with no new disappointment in your great efforts to put a girdle round the earth."

THE STARS (FADING) AND THE STRIPES (FALLING). —We have news that nine more American ships and cargoes have been captured. The value is supposed to be two millions dollars I Burning London, tarring every English merchant, and having Lords Palmerston. and Rus• sell pulled to pieces by wild horses, are only the mild modes of punishment suggested by the talkers of the town. The merchants, if they could do it, would vote a war to-day against England as the cause of this loss of property. Every time news reaches this city to the effect that the Ala. bama has captured more American vessels, reminds me of my boyhood days, when I used to throw a stone at a hor net's nest just to see the row, while I kept off at a respect ful distance.

How TO ACCELERATE PACE—A LUCKY ESCAPE,— Thomas Thetford, a boy about 14 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to rob a cart. Frederick Koch, 312 B, said that a', a quarter past nine last night he saw a van coming from Eccleston-bridge to Eaton-squlre, prisoner following it by hanging on behind. He followed the prisoner into Belgrave-square, during which he was holding on to the van by his left hand and " operating" with his light, and he shifted from one side of the van to the other. Mr. Selfe inquired of witness how prisoner "operated." Witness replied that he always kept close to the cart by holding with his left hand, and appeared to be attempting to remove the tarpaulin which covered it with his right. As he saw he could not complete his purpose he left the cart, and put his hand into his pocket, and witness suddenly seizing it, a clasp knife dropped from it open. Prisoner—lt's all fal e, your worship, what he has been a-saying about me. I was in Eaton-square, and, as I wanted to go very quick, I gets behind this cart, and then the policeman takes my knits out of my pocket for nothing. Mr. Selfe—ls any'hing known of him ? Policeman—Yes, he has been in custody before. Prisoner—That was a mistake, your worship. Mr. Selfe—Was he committed ? Policeman—Yes ; ho had seven days. His mother told me so this morning, when I went to let her know where he was. Prisoner—Well, I was in trouble before, but it was all a mistake. I runs to see another boy taken to the station,. and when we gets to the door I gets shoved in, too, and gets locked up, but I did not know nothing at all what for. Mr. Selfe did not think there was sufficient evidence of a felonious intent to warrant him committing the prisoner, and discharged him, but cautioned him not to run behind carts. THAMES. AUDACIOUS VIOLATION OF THE LAW BY A BEERSHOP KEEPER.---Henry Lee, a farrier, and landlord of the ale and beer-house, called the Sailor's Return, Duke-street, St. George-in-the-East, appeared before Mr. Woolrych to an swer an information and summons exhibited by Inspector Honey, of the K division, for having his house open and oarrying on trade therein during the prohibited hours on Sunday last. At a quarter before nine o'clrck, Police-constable Mad den, No. 60 A, saw persons enter and leave the defendant's house, and upon entering it saw 13 men and two women in front of the bar. There were pots and glasses containing malt liquors before them. Some of the men were smoking. The defendant said the party seen by the policeman were his own friends who paid him a visit. He was a farrier as well as a beer seller, and belonged to a club, the members of which visited him. Mr, Woolrych—Your Sunday morning friends were very numerous. Did you makethem a present of the beer they drank and the toobacco they smoked ? Defendant—Yes, sir. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Woolrych—That will not do for me. Inspector Honey said the defendant had been a very short time there, and carried on an enormous trade while public houses in his neighbourhood were closed and the law obeyed by the proprietors thereof. He then called three police-constables. The first, Robert Smith, 25 K, saw thirty persons enter the defendant's beershop en Sunday the 24th of May, between the hours of half-past six and half-past eight in the morning. Frederick Greenfield, 405 K, counted 121 persons enter and leas e the Sailors' Return between the hours of nine and one on Sunday the 31st of May. William Gaylor, 303 K—Lest Sunday, the 7th of June, from half-past nine until one, I saw eighty-eight persons enter and lea, e Mr. Lee's beeihouse. Mr. Woolrych—This is wholesale law-breaking—a most audacious and a very flagrant violation of the law, which you find very profitable. You are fined 40s. If you are brought here again and the case is made out the fine will be £5. Inspector Honey said a great many beershops in the district wera coutinually open during the prohibited hours on Sundays.

Flags courted the breeze horn countless towers, windows, and housetops, and the ships in the harbour looked their best, decked out in gayest bunting. The great event of the day, however, and that which engaged all thoughts, was the grand military spectacle announced to take place on Logan's Farm. The Queen's birthday brought Queen's fair wea ther, the skies being clear, with bright sunshine and mild breezes, the elements contributing their full share to the enjoyment of our citizens and the success of the pageant, About eleven o'clock our streets presented an animated ap pearance, crowds of ladies and gentlemen in holiday attire hurrying to the Champ. de-Mars to witness the assembling of the volunteers, who, it was understood, were to muster here, form, and then march to Logan's Farm, Several battalions did proceed to this ground and rest on their arms a few minutes, but others marched on to the farm without an intermediate halt. The way throughout was lined with spectators, hundreds of whom accompanied each regiment and battalion, attracted by the music of the fine bands. DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.— On Wednesday a man about 40. named John Lime beer, by trade a shoemaker, and residing at No. 10, Carnaby street, Golden-square, made a most desperate attempt to take his life by cutting his throat. It appears the unfortu nate man, being under the influence of drink, and having had some words with his wife, took a razor and inflicted a most frightful wound on his throat. Dr, M'Oscar, of Tyler-street, was immediately sent for, and attended to the man, but deemed it advisable that he should, in conse quence of the serious nature of the wound, be taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and ho was conveyed to that institu tion. On inquiring at the hospital yesterday, it was found that Limebeer way in a very low state, and that there were but small hopes of his recovering. M ANHATT AN ON THE " LYING " NEW YORK DAILY JOURNALS. --As an evidence of the reli ability of the New York daily journals of all kinds I will state a positive fact. There is not one tha ca t ture of Vickshas not an - noun ced, in the m ost solemn language, the p burg, thanking God for it, and not expressing a doubt of its truth. This is all wrong. It does more harm than good, and gets the articles of a daily journal to be regarded as so ephemeral as to be of no consequence whether false or true. It was knave Vi New York yesterday that Grant had been repulsed at Vicksburg on the 22d, with a fearful loss et 8,0001 There was not a bulletin or a journal that has not was also an nounced the fac t, t hat on the 25 th the attack rene wed again with success Was ever such wilful lying! THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the overland mail we have re ceived advices from Calcutta to May 8; Madras, May 14 ; Ceylon, May 16; Hong Kong, April 29 ; Shanghai, Ai ril 18; Singapore, May 7; Sydney, April 21 ; Melbourne, April 25 ; Brisbane, April 18; Auckland, April 6 ; and Dunedin, April 18. INDIA. The Lahore Chromele of the 2d of May states that Lieut. Jackson, the officer whose servant died from a severe flogging administered to him by fis master, has been found guilty of manslaughter, and .9entenced to penal servitude for life. The South Rtstern it •ilway line to Cannington, on the M u tl a h, was a dv e riis d to be opened for public traffic on the Mt of May, eutject, however, to the sanction of the consulting engineer to Government At Calcutta, a requisition to the sheriff was in course of signature, ce:lling upon him to convene a :mblic meeting for the purpose of adopting corgrc -u Vory addresses to the QutAm and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Viceroy and Commcmder.in-Chief were still at Simla, where there is no news of importance to record. On the afternoon of the 7r_h May a numerous audi ence was gathered together in the hall of the Cham ber of Commerce of Calcutta, to hear a lecture by Sir Arthur Cotton, on works of irrigation and navi gation. The lecturer chiefly insisted on the neces sity of appointing public works commissioners with powers to raise funds for prosecuting remunerative public works, and who shall be accountable for their •appropriation to the purposes for which they wer e professedly obtained. Something like a mania for limited liability com panies is said to be prevailing in Calcutta. The Hurkaru says upon this subject:—" We ven• ture to resume our strictures on the limited liability mania. The importance of the sub ject must be our excuse. Too much is at stake to permit the folly to go on unchallenged; and it is surely better to speak out boldly now and nip Vle evil in the bud, than to delay all notice till a few designing stock-jobbers have secured their premiums, and the credulous multitude finds itself duped and ruined. The good name and reputation of our community, besides, are in question, and it i but right that it should emphatically repudiate complicity with practices which, we repeat, are alike disgraceful and dishonest. We read in the Madras Athenaeum—" From Central Asia there is a continuance of the same vague and contradictory rumours that have for so long a time filled the columns of the Delhi Gazette and perplexed everybody at a distance from the scene of action as to what the real position of par ties at Herat, and the probable issue of the strife between Dost Mahommed and his son-in -law, may be. The old Ameer has recovered from his late sickness, and is said to be as intent as ever on taking the city, but after all it seems more likely than not that British and Persian diplomacy will bring about an accommodation between the belli gerents. CONIAIERGIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman of May 8.) Produce Market—With the exception of a few purchases of saltpetre and rice at rates well main tained, the market still remains inactive. Import Market—ln the short interval since our last report there has been no change in our market, which is still very quiet. The favourable telegra phic news received on the 6th has had no percep tible influence. Our quotations must be looked on as purely nominal. Joint-stock shares—A large business has been done in joint-stock shares, and Bengal Bank scrip is reported as having sold for 9,150. A wild mania has lately sprung up in this city for converting tradesmen's firms into limited liability companies, and much gambling in the scrip has resulted. These speculative venturers have in no way affected the more legitimate undertakings. Government Securities—Government securities are slightly lower, fcllowing the downward ten dency in Bombay and Madras. Business has been done in fives and a halt at 117.8. In the other de nominations we have heard of no transactions since our last report, and the quotations are nominally the same. Money Market—Though the money market is still very easy, there is somewhat more demand within the last day or two, the scarcity of money in Bombay and Madras having attracted considerable remittances to both of these places. Exchange.—The greater part of the business done in exchange for the past fortnight has been crowded into the last two days. Buyers of sterling held back as long as they could in the expectation that the arrival of the direct steamer from China would give a fresh impulse . to the rate of exchange, but on its becoming known that she brought an unusually small amount of China drawn paper, the banks readily sold at the terms they had asked, 2-0 7-16. At this rate something like 18 lacs of bank-bills must havebeen disposed of yesterday and the day previous. First-class credit bills have been sold at 2-01-, and the few China drawn bills that came forward went at 2.0 9-16. Document paper is comparatively scarce, and may be quoted 2-01. CHINA. There is no news of importance from Pekin. From Tientsin, we hear that all is quiet, the Nyen fei having been driven beyond the "boundary." From Hankow, we learn that a body of marauders had caused much consternation among the native traders, by approaching to within ten miles of the city, after repulsing a force sent against them. Later accounts say they had retired and that the alarm had somewhat subsided. At Kinkiang, the British settlement is being rapidly improved by a " municipal council," and also by the erectio❑ of a bund, or prava, which will be not only a protection against flooding in the river, but a great facility for the landing and shipment of goods. At Shanghai matters are reported as in a favourable state. Foe shan has at length yielded to an attack by the Anglo-Chinese contingent under Major Gordon, and t hia siege of Chiang-zu has been raised. Taitsan also had surrendered, and its garrison declared for the iniparial cause. Major Gordon is said to be preparing for further operations. General Burgevine has returned from Pekin, and it is said has been reinstated in the command of the Sunkiang force. This would appear to be a mis take, as Major Gordon was duly appointed by the authorities at the capital. Affairs at Ningpo are, it is said, in a bad state, owing to the license allowed to the Franco-Chinese force in looting and oppressing the people. Stiaou shan, a city about twenty miles beyond Shaouh sing, had been evacuated by the rebels. From the ports of Fuhchau, Amoy, and Swatow there is no news. JAPAN.

The full details ohis demands have not been made public, but the principal material clauses of the ultimatum comprise "the trial and capital execution of the murderers of Mr. Richardson, a heavy pecuniary psnalty on Japan for that offence, and a considerable compen sation for the sufferers or their surviving relatives! , Should Col. Neale's demands not be complied with in the precise terms laid down in this ultimatum, he reserves to himself the right of adopting coercive measures of a nature and duration " propartioned to the degree of ill - advised obstinacy or resistance which the Japanese Government may assume." In order to give weight to these demands on the part of the English authorities,•a fleet was stationed in the harbour at Yokohama, under the command of Admiral Kuper, consisting of the Euryalus, Pearl, Argus, Centaur, Rattler, and Racehorse, with gun boats Havoc and Kestrel; these were shortly to be joined by her Majesty's ships Ringdove, Encounter, Scout, and Coromandel, along with the gunboat Hesper, with coals and sto res. T w o Dutch and SECOND EDITION. two Fren;.lll vessels of war were also present with the English fleet. The Perseus and Leopard were in Hong Kong HarbOtr f and would probably join the admiral's fleet as soon as they could be got ready. The ultimatum was sent in on the 6th of April, and 27 days allowed for its being satisfactorily replied. to. The latest dates from Yokohama are to the 15tIr of April, up to which time no reply had been re— ceived. The Tycoon, however, had previously :eft for Miako (March 23), and the ultimatum hed been sent after him to the capital. The Mayor of Kana gawa is said to have expressed himself, in a com munication to the admiral, to the effect that tho Tycoon's Government was not strong enough to arrest cud punish Shimaezoo Seburo, father of Prince Sat ums—this was one of the murderers of Richardson, anti it will be recollected that the Ty coon then expressed his comparative helplessness in.: the case. In the present emergency it is alleged that; the Mayor of K,:•,npgawa has suggested that satis factiou should be taken from the Prince of Satsuma himself, by the seizure of the Loo Choo Islands, which arc his property, and yield a revenue of half a million sterling per annum.

Last evening Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquest at the Buffalo's Head Tavern, Marylebone-road, on the body of Charles A. Payne, aged two years and three months, the child of Mary Anne Payne, of 6, Allsopp-place, who is in custody, end stands chargel with murdering it by cutting its throat on the night of Wednesday, and with attempting also to commit suicide. The evidence given before the coroner was pre cisely that given before Mr. Mansfield at Maryle bone Police-court, on Thursday, namely, that on Wednesday evening,' about eight o'clock, the in mates of the house in which Mrs. Payne resided heard a loud crash in the back, and on going there found the accused, with nothing on bat her night clothes, lying insensible on the flags. she having precipitated herself from the second floor back win dow. Mr. Sedgwick, surgeon, of Park-place, was called in and found the woman in an insensible atai;?, and sent her husband and sister, who had then arrived, to get a blanket to wrap her in, and on entering the bedroom to do so they discovered to their horror the body of her child with its head nearly severed from its body, and the large table knife with which the wound had been inflicted near it, On recovering her senses, the accused confessed having committed the act, and also attempting, in the first place, to commit suicide by taking poison, and subsequently attempting to cut her own throat, and throwing herself from the window. The only cause which could be assigned was that she is enceinte, and has been for some time past labouring under a religious monomania. The accused was not present at the inquest, but The jury, after hearing the evidence, unhesitat ingly returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Mary Ann Payne, for whose committal to Newgate on the charge the coroner made out his warrant.

I t was blowin g a heavy gale of wind from the S,S.W. at the time. The lifeboat Ipswich, belonging to the National Lifeboat Insti tution, stationed at this place, was immediately launched through a very heavy sea, and proceeded to the rescue of the vessel's crew. Chi nearing the wreck both her masts fell with tremendous violence, and it was with the greatest difficulty the six poor fol lows on board were hauled into the lifeboat. Indeed, it was an awful moment. The lifeboat shipped at the time a very heavy sea, which carried away one' of her noble crew, but who fortunately regained the boat by means of his lifebelt and a line. The lifeboat behaved admirably on the occasion. The cost of this boat was presented about twelve months ago to the National Lifeboat Institution by the town of Ipswich, and she has since then been the means of I rescuing two shipwrecked crews from an inevitable death. THE 4TH DRAGOON GUARDS --'i ho 4th Dragoon Guards, renowned as one of the regiments which took a conspicuous part in the disastrous cavalry charge at Balaklava, was inspected on Wednesday on the Fifteen Acres, Phoenix -park, by Brigadier-General G.
