ONE Y MARICETI SHARE MARKETS This day, AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, The applications this morning for discount ac commodation in the general market have been rather numerous. The feeling of uncertainty which continues to prevail regarding the issue of events at the end of the present week, is still shown by the bill brokers refusing to make any concession for the negotiation of best description of three months' paper. _ .

Loan has been announced by Messrs. Stern Brothers for Portugal. The amount is £2,500,000, but only £1,500,000 is to be sub scribed for, as £1,000,000 has been already privately placed, and £250,000 reserved for Portugal. The bonds are to be issued in sums of £lOO and £5OO each, and the price is £4B, payable in seven instal ments up to June next, but if payments in full are Made the price is reduced to 46k, reckoning f per cent. for discount, and 1 per cent. for overdue interest. The bonds are to " bearer," and the interest is pay able half-yearly, in January and July in each year, in London and Paris. The money is to be specially applied to the completion of railway and public roads authorised by the Cortes, and as the proceeds will remain in England for purchasing the neces sary materials, the operation will not produce any adverse effect, such as would be the case if gold were to be expo r t e d. P ortuga l i s a l rea d y reaping largely of the seed she has sown by the greater development of her resources within the past few years, and the faith all classes in the kingdom now place in her Government. The increase in the revenue which must follow the open ing up of new sources of agricultural and mineral wealth, Rill materially assist the Government in equalising their stock more with the price of the other favourite foreign loans. The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday comprised an influx of £12,000 in bar gold, and a withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week were generally of a satisfactory cha racter. At Manchester there was a fair amount of business transacted in both cloths and yarns, at fully late rates. The woollen trade of Leeds,Brad ford, and Huddersfield remained moderately active for this time of year. In the hosiery and lace de partments of Leicester and Nottingham more anima tion prevailed ; while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a fur ther improvement was apparent in most depart ments. Two o'CLocK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rsuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 32c. to 67f. 35c.—Rather firm. Affairs in the Market for the English Funds con tinue in the same inactive state as for some time past. Speculation is dormant, and Foreign Stocks and new schemes engage the attention of investors. Consols are 93 for money, and 93/ / for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 91/ ; Excheianer Bills, ls. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 109,1 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1001 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1071 ; ditto 59 per Cents., 106 k.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a rather limited scale, and prices have re mained without changeof importance. Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland have advanced 65.; and London and Brighton, 103., while North Western and South Western have each declined I. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue dull at previous quotations. Bank Shares are in fair request, without, how ever, any material alteration in values. India Land Mortgage is quoted 39 3 prem. ; and East London, 1 I prem. In the Miscellaneous Market there is little change.

MARK-LANE. The demand for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, was very inactive, at barely stationary prices. In barley, a moderate business was transacted, at the late decline in its value. Oats, beans, and peas were dull, and, in some instances, rather cheaper. Flour moved off slowly, on former terms. On the continent the corn trade generally is very quiet, at barely late rates, At New York good and fine wheat and flour are in fair request, for export, at full prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were very moderate. The imports from abroad comprised 23,548 quarters of wheat, 16,626 barley, 45,608 oats, 3,574 beans, 700 peas, 400 tares, 9,232 linseed, 4,315 oilseeds, 800 maze, 607 sundry seeds, 620 sacks and 1,783 barrels of flour, Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English wheat were of limited extent, but most samples were re ceived in good dry condition, and the quality of the produce was firm, The continuance of full average receipts of wheat and flour from foreign parts produced a sluggish trade for all qualities, yet compared with Monday last no quotable change took place in prices. At the doss of busi • ness a fair clearance had been effected. With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied. Millers operated to a very moderate extent in most descrip- tions, at the rates current this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. The supply of barley—both English and foreign—was by no means extensive; indeed, the show of home-grown produce was rather limited. Owing to the mildness of the weather, malting qualities moved off heavily at the late de cline in prices. Grinding and distilling qualities met a slow sale at last Monday's currency. All kinds of malt sold heavily, at about previous rates. The supply of foreign oats on offer was large, and the show of homegrown parcels was moderately extensive. For good and fine corn the trade was tolerably firm, at late currencies. Inferior produce, however, was very dull. Beans were in fair supply and show request, at a further reduction in prices of is per quarter. In the value of peas we have to report a fall of is per quarter. The show of samples was very moderate, and the trade dull. The supply of American flour was large, and secondary qualities were difficulty of sale. Town and country made qualities ruled stationary in price; but the demand was in a sluggish state. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer in to-day's market. The show of calves was season • ably extensive. Sheep—the quality of which was good, were in request, at very full prices, but beasts and calves met a dull inquiry, at late rates. The arrivals of home-fed beasts, fresh up, this morning, were again large, but their general quality was by no means prime. The best breeds were, consequently, taken off somewhat freely, at full quotations—the top figure being be per Sibs. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 950 various breeds; from Scotland, 3 Scots; and, from Ireland, 760 oxen and heifers. We were again but moderately supplied with sheep as to number ; but their quality was prime. The mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, prices advanced 2d per Blbs. A few very superior old Downs produced 5s 6d, but the general top figure was 5s 8d per 81bs. Calves were in fair average supply, and heavy request, at about previous quotations, viz., from 3s 4d to 4s 4d par 81b. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at stationary prices.

The difficulties in the way of bringing Ditrichstein from Vienna seem (according to the German papers) to be rather more numerous than was at first believed. Two or three years ago a case occurred in which an absconding bankrupt succeeded in reaching Vienna, and when captured the Austrian Government refused to order the departure of the man from their territories, there: being no Extradition Treaty between that power and Great Britain. The same difficulty that then presented itself has now arisen in the case of Ditrichstein, the Austrian Government for the present refusing to direct his removal from an indisposition to create a precedent. Negotiations are, we believe, now going on between the Governments of Great Britain and Austria, the result of which it is confidently expected will be that the difficulties which now present themselves will be re moved, and at the expiration of eight or 10 days the pri soner will arrive in this country, and with the least delay be placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, on the charge of stealing £lO,OOO in Bank of England notes. NAVIGATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI, The guerillas are becoming very daring in their attacks on our unarmed transports. For some time past they have confined themselves to musketry fir ing between Port Hudson and Natchez, but on Sa turday last they opened upon the Julia with three pieces of artillery. She was on her way to New Orleans, and about half-past 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon was passing Hole-in-the-Wall, 16 miles above Natchez, when 15 or 16 men showed them selves on the bank of the river on the east side, one commanding her to "halt." No notice was taken of this, the Julia still continuing down the river, when the party fell back behind some bushes, and the next instant three cannon shots were fired. The channel here makes a bend, and it was necessary for the Julia to go much nearer shore, and as she passed in front of the battery the pieces wore discharged again. Fifteen shots in all were fired. The Julia was struck five times. The first shell passed through the wheel house; the second that struck her was a solid shot. It passed through two bullocks and two sacks of bran, lodging in the third, which lay next the boiler. The third shot struck the upper deck forward of the wheelhouse, cutting a deep hole through it, and, glancing, passed through a barrel, the guards of the boat, companion way, two state rooms, the clerk's office, and passed through the vessel on the other side, falling into the river. In the state room it entered (No. 39) the occupant had a hairbreadth escape. Hearing the firing, he rushed into his room and threw himself upon the berth. The shot took the pillow from under his head, and passed through the mattress, throwing him with some force against the side of the partition which sepa rated his room from the vessel, but doing him no injury whatever. The fourth passed through the hatchway and lodged in the coal. It was a 201 b. shell, and was taken from the coal entire. The fifth shot struck the pitman, passed through it, and, cutting a cow's ear off, p asse d out on the ot h er side of the boat. One shell burst about ten feet from the bow, and another near the pantry. Four solid shot which the rebels fired after the boat was out of range fell harmlessly into the river. The Julia was fired upon a few miles from this place on the oppo site bank of the river, while making the up trip a , few days previous, about the same time the Atlantic was fired into. Both vessels were struck several times by the musket balls, and two or three persons narrowly escaped being shot. Within the last two weeks eight or ten vessels have been fired on.— New York Herald.

COLLIERS' STRIKE AT WIGAN.—The men em ployed at one of the pits of the Kirkless Hall Coal Company, near Wigan, have lately struck work, in conse quence of a proposal to reduce their wages and to alter the mode in which they have been accustomed to send the coal to the surface. According- to a state meat made at a meeting of the men a few days ago, the reduction amounts to 2s. per score, and in addition the men are re quired to separate the small coal from the round, an opera tion which, from the nature of the seam and the workings, adds, so the men allege, 10 or 15 per cent. to their labour. Against this the men have struck, and in their strike they aro supported by the lately established Miners Sick and Provident Benefit Society. The strike has caused a con siderable amount of ill-feeling amongst some of the c o lli ers towards the Company, the principal partner in which is Mr. John Lancaster, of Hindley Hall, and on Friday, this found vent in the following notice which was posted at Rose Bridge, in the township of Ince :—" This is to certify to the miners of John Lancaster and Samuel" his brother " too, that he may make his will, for the pistol is loaded for John and Samuel too." THE GIANT BALLOON—A telegraphic despatch from Paris, dated 635 p.m. yesterday, states Monsieur Nadar made a most successful ascent in his giant balloon at five o'clock, from the Champ de Mars.

Nine ladies and gentlemen ascended in the balloon, but it first made a short ascension with 32 persons." A furth er te l egram, this day, 12.30 p.m., says—" News arrived at h a lf -past 8 last evening that Nadar was over Compiegne, 87 miles I from Paris. He sent a message down, All goes w e ll,' and continued his journey towards the North, having de scended near the ground to speak."

WING MAGNANIMITY! — Much dissatisfaction, especially in legal circles, has been ex pressed at the non •interment of Lord Lyndhurst in Westminster Abbey. The grudges en gen d ere d in politics sho u ld surely not be allowed to extend to the grave of any man. With a like generosity of feeling the present Liberal Government have taken good care that neither the twice Lord Mayor Cubitt, nor yet the present Lord Mayor Rose, should bo raised to the Baronetcy —even at the time of the Prince of Wales attaining his majority. And this for the reason that both Cubitt and Rose were Tories—and , therefore, under the Whig Taboo, even like the inanimate body of Lord Lynd hurst now denied a grave in Westminster Abbey I UTILIZATION OF SEWAGE. — At Tott en h am t h e excreta of 10,000 inhabitants are successfully deo dorised, and the residua sold for purposes of fertilisation. Why should not a similar process be adopted for utilising the sewage of all London ? So far as we know, there is no system of sewage utilisation that has stood the test of time so well as this. The works were erected in 1854, by Mr. Thomas Taylor, and after a period of nearly 10 years, the process is continued to the satisfaction of the inhabitants and the local Board of Health, and to the complete absolu tion of the River Le a f ro m the pollutions that once u p on s time rend ere d it suc h a nu isance, that the trust ees o f t h e river threatened the Tottenham Board with legal proceed ings.

This was an application for release from custody. The bankrupt was a married woman, but had been for many years carrying on trade as a .femme Hole, and on a former application her releaso was refused, and an application was made to Mr. Justice Byles, who refused to interfere, on the ground that, as sho had held herself out to the world as a femme sole and a trader, she had rendered herself subject to the bankruptcy laws, and must apply to this Court. Mr. Bdzley contended that as the debt was contracted as a femme sole, she could not now set up as against the cre ditors' claim that she was a married woman ; but taking it as a fact that she was a married woman, she could not de clare herself bankrupt and obtain the advantages under the Bankruptcy Law. Mr. E. Reed contender' that the creditor was not in a position to oppose on that ground, as he had taken his re medy against the bankrupt by action, and had obtained judgment against her, and she was taken in execution. Her troubles arose in consequence of her having given up her premises and trade at Stangate, under an agreement with Mr. Boucicault, but which had not been carried out, as, out of £l,OOO, she only received £lOO ; bat the creditor had only taken the bill in the belief that she would receive the £9,000, His Honour said ho did not seo that because the creditor took his remedy at civil law he was precluded from I taking advantage o f th e b ankruptcy law. Mr. Reed said that if the law clothed a person with lia bility it surely gave also a power of discharge, but if Mr. Justice Byles refused to release her on the ground that she had held herself out to the world as a trader, and his Honour refused it on the ground that she was not entitled to the benefit of the bankruptcy laws, she mast remain in prison all her life, but in a similar case (Mary Smith) Mr. Commissioner Fane held that as the law clothed the bank rupt with responsibility it also conferred ite advantages. The case was ultimately adjourned for the bankrupt to a nswer affidavits that she had represented herself to be a widow, which she denied having done. TEE EMPRESS EUGENIE.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn,) IN RE DANIELS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Da MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OP MANSLAUGIITER.—Ann Harnett was placed before the Lord Mayor charged with causing the death of Joseph Holland. Mary Ann Allington said she lived with deceased as his w if e . They occupied apartments in the name house as the prisoner, in Smith's-buildings, Bishopsgate-street. About three weeks ago, for some cause she did not know, the prisoner threw a quantity of water over her as she was in t h e yard. The deceased remonstrated with her, and as k e d why she had done it. Prisoner replied that it was an accident, but on Saturday, the 10th instant, she again quarrelled with her. The deceased was sitting in the par lour, and on his hearing the disturbance, he came out into the passage, and said he would have no quarrelling there, but that he would settle all differences with the prisoner in ano ther way (meaning that he would take out a summons a gainst her). Upon hearing this she rushed furiously at him, a nd struck hi m with great force with both fists i n the chest. He fell into the room, and in doing so the lower part of his back hit the table, which prevented his going into the fire. The prisoner then got hold of her, and as she h e was using h er very roughly the deceased came for ward a gain and released her (witness) from the prisoner's hold. She then seized him by the shirt and tore his sleeve out, after which she went away. Holland went to bed about ten minutes after, but after do ing so, he said he was frightened at what had taken place. When b e got up on S unday morning he appeared in his usual health, and went to his work at Messrs. Defries, the gas engineers. He did not complain of feeling unwell be fo d o i n g so. At s i x o ' clock in the evening he was broughtre home by two of his fellow-workmen, who said he had been emitting great quantities of bloood. The parish surgeon was sent for, and he attended on Tuesday evening, and him daily until l ast Thursday morning, when he died. sall She had lived with deceased as his wife for the last t wo years, and he never h a d complainee of anything being the matter with him. Esther Holland, mother of the deceased, who lived in the to that occupi e d b y the deceased, corroborated the e the last wit ness in every particular. She nfurxtt roomh ev er id said she of had never heard him complain of any ail ment ; on the contrary, he always enjoyed good health. bill PaouRsLEBnuOERAOxtUnGs.IL JSoThßnEtTy..ant, The prisoner was ordered to be remanded.

A VERY DISORDERLY PAtrEß,—Margaret O'Connor, who has been a very industrious, thrifty, and steady woman, but who has recently got into very irregular and drunken habits, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being intoxicated and disorderly. Mr. Thomas Moffatt, porter of the Mile-end Old-town workhouse, said the prisoner came t o hi m on Saturday night, at sight o'clock, and de manded a ni g ht' s l o d g i ng. She was very much;intoxicated, and h e asked her what she shapehad c done e out-door with money therelief. She she received on F riday in the said she h a d app li ed a por tion of it in payment of a ni g ht 's lodging, and spen t th e remainder. He asked her what she had done with her shawl, and she answered him that she had pawned it. He told her to obtain her shawl, and that ho would not ad mit her without. She then gave utterance to a volley of foul abuse, and said she had shown up Mr. Slight, the relieving officer, in the newspapers, and would show him up as we •ll He tried to get her away, but she would not leave, and her cries, oaths, noise, and gesticulation s caused a mob to assemble in front of the workhouse. He put up with her abuse for two hours, and then gave her into cus tody. She was before the Court a few weeks since for attempting to commit suicide, and on another occasion for being drunk and disorderly. The Prisoner—Ho is a false swearing man, yer honour's worship, and a rogue into the bargain—the murthering villain, wid his black whiskers. Mr. Partridge—Don't call him names. The prisoner—Ho knows he is a murthering rogue, and it's me yer honour that's paid riot and taxes and every thing. Mr. Moffatt said the guardians of Mile-end Old-town had acted with great kindness to the prisoner, and, instead of passing her to Ireland, gave her out-door relief. The Prisoner—Och, yer honner, he is a rogue and a half ; what can Ido wid the great big thief. (Laughter.) Mr. Partridge said it was quite evident the prisoner was a very disorderly badly-conducted woman. He sentenced her to pay a fine of 55., or be imprisoned for 7 days. The Prisoner—Och, the murthering rogue ; look at him, yer honner. (Loud laughter.) MR.

THE COURT-MARTIAL ON COLONEL CRAWLEY will probably begin in the second week of Novena ' ber ; when it will end is beyond our powers of gu ess i ng. A number of the officers have received leave from this week till November the 6th and October the 30th. The men have been, by the judicious arrangements of Brigadier Hodge, attached to the 13th for service, and have something to do, instead of wasting their time in canteens, tap-rooms, or idlenus. The cause of the delay in proceeding to trial is merely the non-arrival of the last batch of witnesses from India, It is to be hoped the Judge-Advocate will confine the evidence closely to the points raised in the two charges on which Colonel Crawley is to be tried, and that he will not permit extraneous issues to be raised.

The departure of the Empress for the A- ledger_ ranean, at the moment the Emperor and his son set out on their return to P ar i s , has given rise t o a ie p nicubald, variety of rumours, not exectly among th e but iu some of the Paris sa/ons. Important ) pressing business, it was said, could only exp l a i n why the Empress chose such a time to make a tour 5 along the coast of Spain ; and it was given out that her Majesty had a mission of such moment that it could not be entrusted to anybody but hers e lf. There were a thousand conjectures as so what that mission could be. Was it about the Mexican Em pire in posse, the Archduchess and the 40,000 sol diers that lurked in her " incomparable eyes" (see M. Debranz's despatch), the Pope, Cardinal Anto nelli, Garibaldi, Victor Emmanuel, or President Davis ? A few whispered that the mission intrusted to her was to use her influence at the Spanish Court to prevent a rumoured matrimonial alliance between some princely house and the family of the Duchess Montpensier, the Queen's sister. They who repeated this version forgot that, whereas the Empress's sup- , plications failed to save the life of the unfortunate Ortega, shot for rebellion, it was not likely that Queen Isabella would be more pliant in a question relating to her sister. It is, however, true that there was a mission— not political, but strictly personal. The Emperor and Empress usually pay a short visit to a frontier town of Spain when they happen to be at Biarritz. They drive to Irun or toFontarabia ; the excursion by sea is to San Sebastian. On these occasions, of course, every honour is shown to a foreign Sove reign on amicable terms with the Spanish Crown. The Alcaldes, first and second, the Captain- General or General Commandant, as the case may be, all starred to the utmost, the Civil Governor, the corregidors, the alguazils, and pipe and tabor play ers, dressed in their best, are present to welcome the strangers. The church bells are set a-ringing, and the military bands strike up "Partant pour la Syrie" and the " Royal March." The Emperor is so oblig ing as to inspect the troops of the garrison, who go through the " Concha manes uvres," which the Em peror, smiling, pronounces to be incapable of im- provement ; he lavishes high praise on the generals before him, as well as on the formidable number contained in the columns of the Guia. He visits the town-hall, amid much acclamation ; refreshments are presented, which the Emperor and the Empress most graciously accept. They admire the large pic tures in the grand hall by a native artist, represent- ng an act of heroism of a renowned sea captain, and they promise a Sevres vase of much value as a sou venir to the Ayuntamiento. Their Majesties do not fail to visit the church, where they perform their devotion?. At length, enchanted and enchanting, they retrace their steps slowly to the quay, embark, and return to Biarritz. This has been done by the Emperor and Empress together, or by the Empress alone, several times. Strange, however, that such persistent civility has not been responded to by Queen Isabella. True, whenever the Emperor is in the neighbourhood the military authorities hasten to compliment him in the name of their Sovereign, and the duty is not the less readily gone through, as it sometimes ends in decorations. But all this is official, commonplace, and cold. What was de- sired is that Queen Isabella should profit by their Majesties' sojourn so near her territory to visit them. Hitherto the Queen has been obstinate on this head; all argument, all entreaty was useless, when she was in the province of Santander not long ago, in inducing her to visit the Emperor, who was then expected at Biarritz. The fact is, Queen Isabella, with or without reason, never had much liking for the Montijo family; and such as it was, with time, it has, I fear, diminished. Her Majesty is as intensely Spanish as her father was. She perhaps remembers too keenly that at the time of the Emperor's marriage it was ostentatiously pa raded in Paris how certain members of that family had been, during the war between the two countries, on the side of France. This was impolitic and un necessary. A man who sides with those who are the enemies of his native country is not likely, however valuable his services, to be greatly admired even by those he serves; and how ho would be viewed by his own countrymen it is unnecessary to say. The epithet of Afrancesado has not lost, even in modernised Spain, any of its bitterness. It is to be feared, also, that the great qualities of the Em peror have not quite removed the exaggerated pre judices which. a Spanish Bourbon may cherish against the name of Bonaparte. A flying visit to the frontier towns has not pro duced the desired result ; but the presence of the Empress in any place within a few hours of the capital could hardly pass unnoticed without the appearance of premeditated slight. Once the Empress was at Alicante, or Valencia, where the last accounts left her, after her visit to Cadiz, Seville, and Malaga, there was no alternative. We hear from Madrid that the Counts of Altamira and Villafranca have been despatched to Alicante to re ceive her former subject, now Empress of the French. She was expected in Madrid the end of the week, and was to remain there five days, lodging in the house of her brother-in-law, the Duke of Alba, and there was to be offered an apartment in the Royal Palace. The papers tell us that the Empress was to maintain the " strictest incognito" during her stay in the capital. It is easy to imagine the feeling of her Majesty in revisiting, after 12 years' absence, a place she once knew so well. She will doubtless miss the dear old Puerto del Sol as it was when she knew it; but she will probably see with pleasure the fami.ar Plaza del Angel, the Prado, with its alley s and its foun tains, the Recolitos, the Plaza de Toros, the Retiro, and the Fuente Castellano. Her incognito will enable her to see the suburb of Caramanchal, where her mother, Madame Mantua, had a villa, which very probably has not fallen into decay, and on her leaving those scenes w hich she knew so we ll i n times gone by s he may flnd that the wond er f u l change in her fortunes, with i ts state, its ceremonial, and its etiquette and its attendant cares, has not brought forgetfulness of the independence and free dom of earlier, if not happier days. One satisfac will remain—she. will have b een , f or tio n , indeed, however short a time, the guest of her former Sove reign. It remains seen whether Queen to be Isa bella will return the visit next summer at Biarritz. —Times. THE WAY TO SUCCESS AT THE BAR is, according to a Saturday Reviewer, as plain as the road from the Temple to Westminster Hall. With a strong head, a strong stomach, high animal spi r it s s t ro ng lungs, deter mination to get on, and good luck, a man will make his way, and take a higher or lower place, according to his talents. The absence of any one of these requisites may trip him up, whatever his talents may be. He will find out for himself what be wants to know better than any one can tell him. It is a race for which a man must train on moral and intellectual beef and beer. If he has not digestion enough for that diet, he had better let the bar alone.

The Assault On the Duke of Buckinghaiur At the borough police-court, Bath, on Saturday, before the Mayor, Col. Olivier, Major Baker, Capt. Ford, Dr. Falconer, and Messrs. T. Fuller, C. J. Vigne, W. Hunt, and T. Gill, George Norton and William Norton, commercial travellers, of Reading, were summoned for assaulting the Duke of Buck ingham and Chandos on the Bth inst. The court wail densely crowded, and his grace was accommodated with a seat on the bench. Mr. Robertson appeared in support of the complainant, and Mr. Byrne for the defendants. The Messrs. Norton were also sum moned by the Great Western Railway Company for wilfully interfering with the comfor T t h o e f c p h a a s rg sen e g p e r r e s : Mr. Slack supported this charge. ferred by the railway company was first brought on for hearing. Mr. Slack said since the summonses had been issued his friend, Mr. Byrne, on behalf of the de fendants, had made use of expressions of sincere regret for their conduct on the occasion, and had offered to tender in open court a most complete and am pl e apology. The railway company having only at heart the interests of the public, thought they had sffiuciently performed their duty by taking the steps they had done, and he therefore applied for permission to withdraw the summonses. The de fendants, besides a declaration of contrition, had un dertaken to present a donation of £5 to the Bath United Hospital, and to pay all the expenses which had been incurred. He trusted that would satisfy the magistrate and meet the justice of the case. Mr. Robertson said that he appeared for the Duke of Buckingham, and had to say that his grace had not been actuated in this matter by any vin dictive feeling. He (Mr. Robertson) on the part of the duke had to ask that ,the summonses taken out might be withdrawn on the defendants apologising and doing what Mr. Slack had intimated their readiness to do. Mr, Byrne, for the defendants, observed that ho had now to express on behalf of the defendants their sincere and deep regret for having acted in the way mentioned by Mr. Slack. He thanked the duke for his condescension in accepting the apology of the defendants, and thus terminating a case which was to them of a most painful character. He hoped the bench would comply with the request that had been made to them. The Mayor remarked that the bench were es' ceedingly pleased that the cases were to end in the manner propo se d.
