The Sun. — London, England, 1864-09-06 00:00:00

]CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The prospectus has been published of the Credit Fancier and Mobilier of England with a capital of £2,000,000 to be raised by 100,000 shares of £2O each, 80,000 to be allotted to previous proprietors, and £20,000 are offered to the public. In yester day's edition of,The Sun we gave a brief account of the proceedings of the two meetings of the Credit Fancier and Credit Mobilier, at which it was unanimously resolved to amalgamate these insti• tutions under the above style. They were each established in March last, since which period they have jointly acquired a net profit at the rate of 190 per cent. per antrum, besides carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund. With such successful results under two diatinct managements it was naturally concluded that even greater success would attend their efforts if the two associations, though having separate objects in view, yet, possessing much in common with each' other, we re un i ted. The public have been permitted to subscribe for a portion of the new shares at a premium of £2 13s. 4d., which it is calculated will bring up the reserve fund to £200,000, thus forming a gua. ranter at starting to a very considerable amount. At the Stock Exchange, this morning, the new shares were quoted 3i 41 prem., and the old shares 8 9 prem._ - During the last few days there has been very little animation in the Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been dull and barely sustained former rates; coffee, however, has been in good demand at full prices, while in rice, tea, fruit, spices, an saltpetre there ha's been little change of importd ante to re7,3ort. The tallow market, however, has undergone some fluctuation, and after the late in flation prices have shown a reaction for both pre. sent and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. Consielerable depression prevailed in the Stock Exchange Markets yesterday afternoon, and although quotations did not close at their worst point, tho principal securities remained at a further importan t decline. The unsettled aspect of mone tary relt ttions chiefly contribute to the existing gloom, e,nd the discouraging opinions put forth by speculators add to the general despondency. Very little improvement is apparent to-day in the rcspec• tive departments, but with fewer sales, and a quieter tone in discount circles, the tendency of values is rather less unfavourable, although business on speculative account, asjwell as for bona fide transfer, is particularly inactive. At - the close of business last evening Consols were per cent. lower, but /of this loss has been recove red this morning, and the quotations for money and the Bth inst. are 871 I, and for the ao count in October 881 1 The New Shares and Redutled Annuities are 851 a. Exchequer for March are to arked 10s. dis., India 5 per Cents 1031 I, and Eufac ed 5 per Cents. 101. In I ,he Foreign Market there is more firmness and anime.tion.

Brighton and Caledonian have each declined £1; South Eastern, 155.; Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Great Northern, each 10s. ; and Great Western, North Westem, Metropolitan, and Midland, each ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change of importance. Bata. Shares, in some instances, have shown a slight recovery from late depression. Alliance beirjg dealt in. at 5111; British Columbia, at 161 ; Muro politan. and Provincial, at 231 ; while Union of London have declined to 511.

OVERLAND INDIA MAIL. IVe have received, via Marseilles, papers to the Bth of August. The following is from the summary of the Bombay Gazette:-- It has been ordered by the Secretary for India that when persons are recommended beyond the re gular rules of the service for pensions, or increased amount of pensions, no hopes shall be held out to the expectants until the Secretary of State has written on the subject. Sir C. Trevelyan's minute on the introduction of a gold currency into India has been published in the official Gazette, and the recommendation made by the Financial Minister for the introduction of the English sovereign into India as a legal tender for Rs. 10, has been adopted by the Governor-Ge neral in Council, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State. The Bhootanese are now quaralling among them selves, in consequence of Toungsoo Penlow having sent a spy into Sikkam to seek out Cheboo Lama, and to learn where he was, without the knowledge of the Durban The quarrel, which occurred in open Durbar, and which it is difficult to make plain to even a German's meaning, ended in a regular battle. The Durbar broke up in great confusion, and two new parties have been formed. The in ternal state of Bootan is wretched, and there is every prospect of a serious civil war, or rather a series of wars, for each chief will fight for his own aggrandisement. The internal troubles are increas ing daily, and it is rumoured that Toungsoo Pen low has even gone so far as to usurp the authority of the Dhurnm and Deb Rajahs. The latest intelligence from Affghanistan has caused considerable surprise, as it is announced, upon what appears to be trustworthy authority, that the Ameer and his rebellious brother, the Sirdar Mahomed Ufzal Khan, have made friends, and it was expected that the latter would accom pany the Ameer on his reiturn to Cabool. Each, however, appears to have a wholesome dread of the other, and would probably be glad to sacrifice some. thing for amity and peace. Sir Uslum Khan would seem to be now the only bar to a complete under standing between the brothers. There had been a rumour current that the Ameer had fallen into an ambuscade and been treacherously made a prisoner by his brother Ufzal Khan ; but this has proved to have had no foundation in fact. The Khelat difficulty has been solved by the Chiefs having chosen their old ruler, Khodabad Khan, to fill the place of Dil Khan, their late ruler, who was recently assassinated ; and by way of sealing the compact of amity between Khodabad Khan and his chiefs he has married one of the daughters of Taj Mahomed, the moat influential chief in all Beloochistan. The Murrees have recently come down into the plains, in the vicinity of Kusmore, within British territory, and butchered four persons whose only crime was their relationship to the head of the Ressaldar police there. The marauders were pur sued by the police and Scinde horse, but only one of the band was killed. Besides the Murrees, the Bhoogties, of whose pacification great hopes have from time to time been held out, are also growing restless. Mr Latham, a civil engineer at Bombay, has entered into uegociations with the Government of Goa and the Portuguese Government at Lisbon, for permission to be allowed to construct a line of light railway from Pangim to the interior, for about forty miles to the foot of the Ghauts. The Indian Peninsula, the Bombay Presidency, and the Bombay City Banks have all commenced operations in Bombay since the departure of the last Overland Mail. The Government gnn foundry at Cossipore is about to be closed, it having been determined that in future no more guns shall be manufactured in India, but that the supply shall be drawn from Woolwich. The services of the Hon. Mr Rustomjee Jamsetjee Jeejeebboy rendered to the Portuguese settlements of Din and Damaun, in the Bombay Presidency, have been rewarded with the distinguished Portu guese Order called " Torre and Espada," or the Order of " Valour, Loyalty, and Merif." The telegraph line is completed between Deesa and Erinpoora, and in a forward state between Ajmere and Sojut. This portion will be completed in a few weeks. Two spans of the railway bridge over the Ncr budda and Broach have been carried away by heavy floods, and another bridge on the same line near Unglesur has been destroyed. All traffic between Surat and Broach had in consequence been stopped. The Mahi river had risen 47 feet. From all parts of the Presidency accounts of heavy rains continue to be received, and the pros pects of the season are considered favourable. in Guzerat the fall of rain had been unusually heavy, and in some parts this had interfered with agricul tural operations. The cotton sowings were late, and it was expected that, owing to the inundations, a large breadth of this cultivation would have to be reeown. A very tragical event has occurred at Broach by the upsetting of a boat containing 40 persons of both sexes in the River Nerbudda, when all except six were drowned. A number of similar accidents are reported to have occurred during the past fort night in the Nerbudda , Taptee, and Mahee rivers, which have in many places overflowed their banks in consequence of the recent very heavy rains, and by which numerous lives have been lost. The Tang-Nyo, a screw steamer of 527 tons bur• then, command e d by Capt. Grindle, has made the passage from En g l an d t o B o mbay in 51 days and four hours, being the quickest passage on record. The vessel belongs to an English firm at China. Mr W. Hart, Revenue and Police Commissioner, Southern Division, has been appointed a member of the Bombay Legislative Council. Owing to a break in the submarine telegraph cable of the Persian Gulf line, it has been an nounced that no more messages will be sent by that line beyond Gwadar until further nctiee. The Am berwitch has been despatched from Bombay to pick up the cable and repair it. A mysterious Taboot, or model mausoleum of a Mahomedan saint, carried by Mussulmens, has recently made its appearance in the Chindwarrah districts of the Central Provinces, which came from the direction of Oomrawutty in Barer, and is passed on from village to village, causing much excitement among the people. The local authorities are engaged in inquiring into this strange affair, which is attri buted to the intrigues of the Mahomedans of the Hydrabad State. The Viceroy will leave Simla for Lahore early in October, and returns to Calcutta in November. The Maharajah of Cashmere has applied to Go vernment to grant him some land in lieu of the money he lent them daring the mutinies, and in consideration of his serv;ces on that occasion. A corps of Muzbee Sikhs is to be raised and officered for service at Singapore in guarding the convicts there. A Mahomedan, who represented himself as the agent of the Akhoond of Swat, and the Rajah of Jummoo, has been arrested at Benares, through the instrumentality of the Marajah of that place, to whom he brought treasonable letters purporting to have been written by those persons. It is suspected the man is au impostor. The blasting operations of the Elpbinstone Land Company at Mazagon Hill, Bombay, have resulted in a fatal accident and the destruction of a large amount of private property. The river Chonab has been obstructed in its course either by a glacier or a landslip, and the river Ravee, both of which rivers are in the Punjab, has given indications of changing its course. Sir Hugh Rose, accompanied by his Personal and the General Staffs, will return to Calcutta early in November, where the headquarters of the Army will, as recently ordered by the Secretary for India, be hereafter permanently stationed. The British barque Maggie, bound from Kure rachee to Havre, has gone ashore in Sonmeanee Bay, close to Kurrachee ; and will probably become a total loss. The British ship Longwood, belonging to the Western India Shipping Company, has made the . voyage between Bombay to Calcutta in nine days from Light to Light 3 being the fastest passage on record. The Bombay Share Market has not recovered from its depression, and there is at present an entire absence of speculation, although money re. mains easy. Prices of stocks generally are un. changed; but Bombay Reclamation Company's shares have gone down to £l,BOO premium. The Bank of Bombay has raised its rate of discount two per cent. The Cotton market is active, and freights have considerably improved. There are also con• siderable activity in our market for imports. A sanguinary affray between a number of Chinese Coolees, imported into Bombay by W. Nicol and Company, and a number of towns people, took place in Bombay on the sth August, where two men were killed and a number of per sons seriously injured. A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT. (Front the Timcs' Corresponlent.) SANTOS, BRAZIL, Slily 30 . Called by my duties the other day to this s mall but active seaport, I was fortunate in having the opportunity of seeing the fret experiments in Mr. Brunlees' daring scheme to lift a railway over the great Serra de Mar, which at this part of Brazil separates the seaboard from the interior of the country. The San Paulo Railway, a line in the hands of English capitalists and English direc tors, runs from the port of Santos into the country to the village of Jundiahy, a distance of eighty eight miles, touching on its course the capital city of San Paulo. Eight miles from Santos commences the vast mountain chain which runs along the coast for hundreds of miles, and is known as the Serra do Mar. It seems to assum9 its grandest proportions at the only point where the province of San Paulo can be:entered from the see,and it is at this point that science has been called upon to grapple with the tre mendous difficulty of crossing the dividing ride by a railway which attains in the course of five miles of mountain steep an elevation of 2,600 ft. The conquest of this enormous difficulty by the skill of the engi neer opens up the most important province in Brasil to easy access from without, and will give a rapid and cheap means of exit to the boundless products of a coffee-growing country, fertile beyond example, These facts give a special importance to the railway and its wonderful passage over the Cordelheira. In the province, the undertaking is a much engrossing topic, and the imperial Government of Brazil. pledged to a guarantee of 7 per cent. on the capital outlay, watches with interest these important works as they approach completion, an event now happily not far distant. It was notified in Santos that his Excellency the President of the province had received imperial commands to visit the works on the incline over the Serra, about which scientific speculation had been so active, in order to observe and report to the Government as to the experiments about to be made for ascending the first "lift" by motive power. The town became very animated, and on the morning when the ascent was to be made the President and his staff were joined by about 300 inhabitants of the place, and were received at the station by the chief resident engineer and the Com pany's agent, and conveyed by train to the foot of the Cordelheira. From Santos to the commences ment of the ascent the railway runs over a swampy country, wretchedly rotten, and reeking with mi asma, till, crossing the Cutatao River, eight miles from the sea, it approaches, by a woody defile in the rocks, the gorge up which it has to climb, till, 2,600 ft. above, it passes out through an open ing in the heights on to the " campos" over which it runs on into the interior of the province. It is this enormous ascent which gives to the undertak ing its emphatic oharaoter. Passing the Mugy river, and at each step becoming more and more confined, the black defiant ravine is suggestive of anything rather than an outlet for a railway course, which goes winding and ascending, crossing moun tain torrents, leaping gloomy chasms, cutting through solid rocks, still working upwards, till a' length after five miles of such Titanic effort it passes out on to the " open." Your readers will gather from this some idea of this! daring scheme,—so daring indeed, and so hopeless has it to be laughed and voted a thing among engineering impossibilities. The Brazilian could not realise the constancy of human effort tear ing a railway from the sides of the rocks and car rying it away up into the clouds. The thing has, however, been done, and hence the interest shown by the good folks of Santos, who were naturally enough curious to accompany the President to the slopes of the Serra that they might see the process by which henceforth they are to be carried over the Cordelheira into the smiling beyond. Permit me to explain briefly how this transit is to be accom plished. The entire ascent is divided into four "lifts," or inclines, of a mile and a quarter each, running at a gradient of lin 10. A level platform, or "bank head," marks the summit of each inc line, and at the upper end of the platform is a stationary engine. This engine has double cylinders of 26in. diameter, with a Bft. stroke, and has been calc ulated to haul up 50 tons at the rate of 10 miles per hour. Five boilers of the Cornish description are with each engine. Oa the upperplaced half of each incline there is a d ou ble line of rails, with a rr angements for passin g places on the middle of each of these " lifts." A single line of rails then runs on from the centre to a the foot of each of the four divisions into which the is divided. A ste e l wire rope, lk in. diamete r , is made for pulling up the ascending trains. This rope, tested to a weight far exceeding the re q uire. ments that will be made upon it, passes over fri ction wheels, and is attached to the fly w heel shaft. Th e inclines are therefore partially self• aotin g , a t the same time passing one train down to the foot of line passes varies the Serra, and drawing up another to the higher levels on its way out to the province beyond. The above description of one of these inclines will serve for the whole. The raechanioal contriv ance i s in each case substantially the same, and the Which these nature of the steep over which the very little.

The completion of t he four divi sions of the incline i s therefore not very far dis tant. The first divi sion is in operation, and it was to witness h inaugural experiments that the t trt Brazilian Government bad comm an d e d th e p r esence of the President and his () facial staff on the day when I passed by per missio u over the inclines with the rest of the company . Passing the Mugy ri ver and r eaching the foot of the Serra, there was a little delay while the loco . comotive was uncouple d, and the train w as at tached to the rope by w hich we wore to be hauled up into the cloudy levels above uq. You can well Counraiollsihty of the company, to know ab co m p an y , i a m nd g t i b n e e d e t s h i the a r m e s a t n l i e f s e s s t out tho process going on around us. When informa tion can bo had by aski n g for, the Brazilian com mences the pursuit of knowledge with' a very be coming Company's agents, the contractors, zest ananddhere all the the officials, showed a ready willingness to meet 'the i r friends half way . Soon, however, the trai n wan got into motion , and by slow hesitati n g paces we comme n c ed our anent. Presently the speed improved and the motion became smoother, and in eight minutes we were on the level platform which forms the " bankhead" of the first lift of the in clines, having passed at the centre point the downs train, which was running on to the level below. Once or twice on our ascent the train came to a standstill, and the ascending and descending car. riages were suspended and held fast midway on their courses, by way of demonstrating the absolute safety and control in which all the operations were held by those who had charge of the machinery on the levels above us. Arriving at the summit the President proceeded to examine in a very s i zinute manner the machinery and all the details by which the inclines will have to be worked, taking note of tiO accommodation for receiving and despatching asecending and descend ing trains, and making searching inquiries into the bearings of all he saw passing before him. The entire party seemed to participate in this desire to know as much as possible, and officials everywhere wetg fully employed in meeting the demands made upon them. The ascent had been in the highest degree satisfac factory, and at the conclusion of the trials and ex aminations made by the President, his Excellency expressed his sincere pleasure at what he had seen, and his conviction that an immense, almost an insu perable difficulty, had been completely vanquished by the daring skill and persistent efforts of engineer ing science. In the evening the party returned to Santos, and seemed in a very emphatic spirit to in dorse the opinion of the President as to the results of the experiments they had 'witnessed on the Cordelheira. Some eighteen months will yet be required, however, to complete the line on its en tire length of 88 miles to Jundiahy. In the mean- 1 time, its immediate extension to the city of Cam. pines is occupying the attention of the province, and is, I am told, under the consideration of the Imperial Government, Mr. Brunlees, the chief en gineer, having already submitted plans for the in spection of competent authority. Campine is the legitimate terminus of this line. Jundiahy is but a small and unimportant village, while Campinas is the centre of the finest coffee-producing district in Brazil. The importance, therefore, of this city as is terminus is evident, and indeed till it has been reached shareholders will not know the value of their investments, and managers will not have sounded the resources of the country into which the line runs. Meanwhile in Europe the success of the engineer in his attempt to cross the Serra do Mar, will be read with satisfaction, as a conquest won by science in a district yet new to commercial enters I prise. --- The Late Sir John RateWE With deep deep regret, a day or two ago, we announced the death of Alderman Sir John Ratcliff, and we feel that our regret is shared by all who had the pleasure of his acquaint :ace and by the inhabitants of Birmingham generally. Sir John was a self-made man—by force of industry he ob tained a respectable, and in later years a high position amongst his fellow townsmen. He was possessed of that laudable ambition without which a man is scarcely worthy of the name of man, and his success proves what may be accompliehed by integrity and perseverance, combined with a kindly and generous disposition, and an earnest desire to advance the interests of others while studying his own. To the deceased Knight was reserved the honour of convey ing an invitation from Birmingham to our beloved Queen —an invitation graciously accepted, and the visit will be be ever memorable to those who had the pleasure of wel coming their Sovereign in the year 1858. No man in cur day has contributed so much to the material prosperity of Birmingham as the late Sir John Ratcliff. Possessed of a princely fortune, he spent it freely amongst those who had contributed to make it for him. He was no absentee or continental rover. Scarcely a movement, having for its object the benefit of his fellow townsmen, or sections of them, as the case might be, was set on foot that his name was not in some way or other associated with. He was ever at the service of the public—his assistance was valued, and his only compensation was the satisfaction of knowing he had done a service. The events connected with Sir John's public life are so well known as scarcely to admit of recapitulation, but a degree of prominence was attached to some of them which cannot be passed over without special notice. Sir John Ratcliff was born at Birmingham in the year 1798, and was the eldest eon of Mr John Ratcliff, a suc cessful Birmingham manufacturer of the last century, who, after acquiring a competency in Birmingham, retired to Herefordshire. Sir John commenced business at an early age. His mercantile career was very successful, and he was elected a Commissioner under the local Aot for the Government of the town, whose powers were in force until 1851, He also filled the office of low bailiff. In 1852 ;he was elected a member of the Town Council, and subse quently unanimously re-elected. He WAS afterwards elected an Alderman, and in 1856 ho was elected Mayor. During the first year of his occupying the office of chief magistrate, several events occurred to render him extreneel ti y pop of the ular. Lord Calthorpe, the owne r of the greater poeon parish of Edgbaston, and who at that time resided at Perry Hall, made the generous offer of appropriating thirty acres of land in the Pershore-road, as a place of recreation for the inhabitants. The offer was readily accepted ,by the Town Council, and Mr Ratcliff, the Mayor, in order to give greater eclat to the opening of this place of recreation— Calthorpe-park—invited his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, to assist in the inauguration. His Royal High ness readily complied with the request. The Ist of June, 1857—the day of the opening of the park—was cele brated as a general holiday. Le the evening the Mayor entertained his Highness, the municipal authorities, and a large number of the principal inhabitants at dinner ; a free concert was given in the Town Hall; and about 700 sol diers and pensioners were provided with a free dinner at Bingley Hall. On the formation of the National Associa tion for the Promotion of Social Science, the mayor, in con junction with his brother, Mr Charles Ratcliff, liV3 5 instru mental in inducing the promoters of the movement to hold their first meeting in the town. On that occasion Los'd J. Russell, Lord Stanley, and other distingu'ehed members o 4 the association were the guests of Mr Ratcliff during the week of the proceedings. Ho also invited the members of the association to a banquet at Dee's Hotel, in compliment to their venerable President, Lord Brougham; and on an other evening in the same week he gave a conversazione to upwards of 2,000 ladies and gentlemen in the Town Hall. These And other acts of liberality on the part of the mayor rendered Lim very popular, and at the end of the first year of offic e h e w ,:s unanimously re-elected mayor. During his second year of e effice two other circumstances occurred which called forth the hospitality of Mr Ratcliff. On the 25th of January, 1858, he: Royal Highness the Princess Royal was married to Prii:ce Frederick William of Prussia, and the mayor celebrated the occasion by issuing tickets of invitation to upwards of a thousand poor and aged inhabitants of the town to dinner in I.lingley Hall. A banquet was also given at Dee's Hotel to the municipal authorities and other public functionaries, and a free con cert was held in the Town Hall in the evening. to which about 6,000 persons were gratuitously admitted. A pubic subscription was also entered into for the purpose of pre senting to her Royal Highness some articles of Birmingham manufacture as a marriage gift, and Mr Rcli had the honour of heading a deputation by whom the articles were presented to her Royal Highness at uckingham Palace. The next occurrence was the project for the purchsf Aston Hall grounds, as a place o f recreation for the use of the inhabitants of Birmingham, and the Mayor, who was one of the promoters of the undertaking, considered that it would give great popularity to the p;oceeding as well as be most gratifying to the inhabitants if her Majesty the Queen could be induced to visit the town and open L.:: e park in per son. He accordingly took steps to bring about this desir able result, and it was announced that the Park wt.ul d be 911 ope ned by her Majesty in p erson on the 15th of June. her Majesty's arrival at the station, from Lord Leigh's, at Stoneleigh, she was received by the municipal authorities at tho railway station, and thence proceeded to the Town Hall, where an address was delivered from the Town Co esty,un cil, the members of wh ich were presented to her aj and the honour of knig hthood was conferred upon the Mayor. From the To wn Hall her Majesty proceeded through the principal thoroughfares to Aston Hall, where an address was presented, and her Majesty afterwards declared the park duly opened to the public. After par taking of luncheon, at which S ir John was present by com mand, her Majesty departed by railway for Stoneleigh. Before leaving the railway her Majesty expressed her opinion of the enthusiastic reception she had met with atcliff from the people of Birmingham , by addressing Sir Johuß in the following words :—" I am very much pleased ; I am d e li g hted with all the proceedi n g s of this day. It is the fi ne st reception I ever recei ved." In the evening of the 851119 day, Sir John gag e a ban q uet in the Town Hall to about 400 guests, the galleries were filled with ladies, and the health of the newly. made Knight was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, The members of the Town Council in November, 1858, elected Sir John Rateiiff for tho third time Mayor of ce Bir mingham ; but during tho year 1859 no occurren of im place. On the completi on of the third y ear p or tance took of hie mayoralty, Sir John was re-elected an Alderman. From that time Sir John retired to a great extent from public life, though he continued to attended to the diecharge of his municipal duties. His death is lamented by the inhrabitants g enerally, and the charitable i ns titutions of Bi m ingham have lost a friend not easily replaced. ANOTHER, FATAL CRINOLINE CASlTALTT.—Yes terday Anne Greenaway, housemaid to Mr Hazeldine, architect, Brompton-road, was attending to her duties, when her dress caught fire, and in a moment she was en veloped in flames. Her burninegarra ents were at length ex ti ng uisho by a wet blanket. Su r g ical assistance was b u t she expired in less th an two hours promptly °Wail:led; in great agony.

SINGULAR CILLE,GE OP ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Jane Wilson, of 2s, Great St. Andrew-street, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide by taking oxalic acid. George Horse, 46 E, Mated that about 10 the previous night he was informed by Dr. Beattie, of 37, Great Russell street, Bedford-square, tb.at he had been called to a female at 25, Great St. Andrew-s treet, who had taken poison. He accompanied Dr. Beattie to the house, and found the pri soner sitting on the bed. She said she had taken oxalic acid, and had bought it at Cooper's on the Five Dials. Dr. Beattie gave the prisoner ,a n antidote, and a ft erwar d s h e (Horse) took her to t he station. The following certificate was handed to Mr Tyrwhitt :- 1 "1 hereby certify that I was called to and attended Jane Wilson, who exhibited symptoms of poisoning by oxalic au td ; that she was treated tor the same and reco vere d. h a v: since examined th e contents of the cup given to me, and to the best of my belief, short of actual analysis, it is oxalic aeid. " HENRY BESTTIE, M.D. " 37, Groat Russell-street." The prisoner said she was sorry she had committed such a dreadful deed. Mr Tyrwhitt said the number of cases of the kind, ac cording to the returns, was really shocking. He must send the prisoner to prison for a week. The prisoner—Oh, don't do that. I will never do it again. The prisoner's husband here stepped forward, and said he did not believe his wife had taken poison at all. They had had a few words, and she went out and got some oxalic acid, and said she would take it, and got a cup and drank some water out of it, but there was no poison in it. He afterwards found a packet marked " poison," but it had never been opened. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no proof the packet had not been opened and sealed up again. Horse said the prisoner was sick, but the husband said that was after the medicine was given to her by the doctor. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a singular case. The husband said the packet had not been opened, and was at issue with the doctor, who believed the woman had taken poison, and the woman herself said she was sorry she had com mitted such a dreadful deed. The question was who was to be believed when there was such a difference of opinion. The prisoner said she would not quarrel with her hus band any more, and Mr. Tyrwhitt agreed to take one bail in £5 for her. ATTEMPTING TO STAB POLICE CONSTABLES.—DonaId Fraser, a tall, strongly-built man, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being drunk and attempting to stab William Costick, 81 C, and Tuck, 126 C. Costick said that shortly before one that morning he heard the prisoner with two females in Dudley-street making a great noise. He requested him to go away, seeing that he was drunk, but he refused, and pulled out a knife from his pocket and opened it, and then made a prob at him, but the point of the blade, which was very sharp, coming against his belt caused the knife to shut. Mr Tyrwhitt—We are getting into the Italian style. Do you wish to ask any questions, prisoner? The prisoner said he was certainly the worse for liquor, and the constable struck and knocked him down. Costick denied striking the prisoner, but said they were obliged to get him on the ground to get the knife away from him. Tuck said the prisoner, on opening the knife, said he would stab ono of them, and tried to do so, and they had great difficulty in getting the knife away from him. The prisoner behaved with great violence and kicked him on the legs. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, one of the constables said the prisoner was an inmate of St. Giles's Workhouse. Mr Tyrwhitt said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he was charged under the Police Act, and that the knife did not take effect. He should commit the prisoner for a month with hard lebour. WESTMINSTER. SAVAGE ASSAULT, AND INADEQUATE PUNISHMENT. — George Collison, a sullen-looking fellow, was charged with the following brutal assault : James Carter, a cellerman, living at 7, Dean-street, Fet ter-lane, who exhibited severe contusions about his face, said that he was returning from Cremorne this morning, about one o'clock, with his wife, and when in Lower Bel grave-place they met the prisoner. He came up to them, and catching hold of his wife's dress in a very indecent manner in front, said " Good night, dear." Complainant let go his wife's arm, and, collaring the prisoner, asked him what he meant by such conduct. Prisoner shook him off, and then rushing at him, felled him by a desperate blow in the eye. While he was on the ground he knelt upon him and inflicted more injury, rendering him insert• sible. He bled very much from the nose, mouth, and eyes and a constable coming up he gave the prisoner into cue tody. Catherine Carter, complainant's wife, corroborated his evidence in every particular, and said, in answer to inqui ries from the magistrate, that it was nut an accident ; the prisoner deliberately laid hold of the lower part of her dress. He had a stick in his other hand. David Heady, lb° B, proved finding the prosecutor bleeding on the ground and taking the prisoner. On the way to the station he said if he knew that the b-- was going to lock him up he would have given him more. Prisoner denied the charge of touching the wife, and said it was purely an accident if it happened. Ho said " Good night" to them, and the complainant immediately attacked him. He only stood in his own defence. Mr Selfe, after commenting on the prisoner's shameful conduct, sentenced him to H days' hard labour without a fine. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.
