CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been an exceedingly good demand for Money to-day in the open market, where 4 per cent, is the ordinary charge paid for the best class of bills. Transactions, however, in a few instances have been recorded at 38 per cent. The large inquiry for accommodation lately experienced has doubtless' been stimulated through the activity d isplayed during the past two months in nearly all tho manufacturing districts. A further sum of £90,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, but 45,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation to the Mauritius. The Pera arrived from the'Mediterranean with £19,140. The return published by the Bank of England authorities for the week to Wednesday last contains several rather important alterations, including a further augmentation in the bullion and ether secu rities. The reserve of notes has also been increased Subjoined are the particulars Active Circulation .. •• Decrease .. Bullion .. • • Increase ..

MR, LINCOLN'S BUTTERFLY ADDRESS Broken on the Wheel of Manhattan's Criticism. William S., of England, never wrote grander than A. L. in what follows. Job was grand, when he showed himself in his most majestic parts, but he never was so sublime es our President, A. L.:— " The signs look better. The Father of Waters again , forgoes it . un v N e o x r e d y t o o t t w h h e o s l e l y a . New England, Empire, Keystone , and Jerse y , hewin g their toThthanomks:to3ot(themgirleeast Nuportthhe-lirymeestt way right and left. The Sunny South, too, in more colours thantisto history one, was jotted also lent a down han i d n . On black n and white." Hide spot w i their part of the i Hide your bead, Idyll Tennyson. " The signs look better." When, how, and where ? Gold is going up and greenbacks are coming down. Charleston cannot be taken. Soldiers cannot be had : 40,000 are required to keep New York quiet. " Tne Father of Watera goes unvexed to the sea." He might have added " for which give glorious thanks to me." It would have been potent but false. He means that " the Mississippi river runs into the Gulf of Mexico, and steamboats come as far as New Orleans without being fired into by the rebels. He might have added, that Jeff Davis has given positive orders that not a steamboat shall be molested upon the Mississippi for six months, and it is religi ously obeyed. Tell me, that unless such orders had been given that every boat would not have been fired at fifty times upon every passage up or down ! Pah ! Jeff needs supplies, and he will wait until 500 boats are running, loaded with mil lions of dollars of cargo, and then he will change his orders, and nab every boat, and secure millions of property. " Thanks to the great North•West"— meaning Ghio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, lowa, Michigan, Minnesota. " They met New England" (the short for the six New England States, viz., Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,Rhode Island, New Hampshire.) "Empire" (New York), " Ksystone" (Pennsylvania), " and Jersey" (New Jersey), hewing their way"—one of his old similes of his rail-splitting days. " The Sunny South— more colours than one" (meaning the white and black troops raised in South Carolina, Louisana, Tennessee, and so forth), " jotted down in black and white on the spot" (a sportive way of saying that the whites and niggers wore killed promis. cuously. " The job was a great national one, and let none be banned who bore a honourable part in it. And while those who have cleared the great river may well be proud, even that is not all." " Job is good. Though a job is generally a con t ract one. " Let none be banned" means, give the negroes as mull credit for it as to the white folks." " It is hard to say that anything has been more bravely and better done than at Antietam, Alurfreesborough, Get tysburg, and on many fields of less note." I nevor gave credit to M'Clellan for doing anything. How Uncle Abe got Antietam shoved in his poetry passes my comprehension. I always thought An times a defeat, although it was claimed by both sides as a great victory, only we got whipped the worst. The following is juicy:— " Nor must Uncle Sam's web-feet be forgotten. At all the waters' margins they have been present, not only on the deep sea, the broad bay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been and made their tracks." . _ ~ . " Uncle Sam's web-feet." This is dark. To fully comprehend it you must know that our greatest shipbuilders in the city are named Webb. They built the frigates for the Russian Government, and they have built some of the best gun boats that went up the Mississippi. If the President spoke ornithologically about Web feet, he stuck fast ; for on the deep ma our Web feet have made a ter rible fiasco. It is estimated that over 200 of our beet war steamers have first and last been chased by or have sought to chase the rebel steamers Alabama and Florida without success. " Wherever the ground was a little damp they have been and made their tracks" is decidedly running the thing into the ground. There is no explaining that poetically or prosily, except by sup- posing the writer had wetted his subject by more lager beer or " bonbon" than is his usual custom. It would seem so by what follows : '• Thanks to all. Fo'r the great Republic—for the prin. ciplea by which it lives and keeps alive —for man's vast future—thanks to all." " Thanks to all," reminds one of a drunken man's last efforts as he is taken cut from the public dinner table. The closing up, and " Let us be quite sober" is significant "Still, let us not be over sanguine of a a s p e edy final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us dili gen tly apply . the means, never doubting that a just God, is His own goed time, will give us the rightful result." Earl Russell thinks that he is some pumpkins in letter writing, but he sinks into insignificance alongside of our chief cook. MR. CHARLES MATHEWS IN PARIS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six.,---I have only just seen your paper of Saturday, con taining a notice of my first appearance at the Theatre des Varietes.

But it was not any one " ili natured fellow in the pit." The necessity for explanation at the end of every piece, according to our English ideas of dramatic propriety—the seeing everybody married and bat tled, and all the obscure points of the plot mathe matically cleared up before dropping the c urta i n _ is not only not required by the French p u bli c, but is deemed tiresome; they like to drop the cur tain when the fan is over, and guess the rest ; and certain signs, which had nothing to do with me, b u t with the piece only, showed me that they had had enough, and were getting out of patience at the long winding -up.

On the second night, after wholesale cutting, which the manager had advised previous to the first performance, but to which I objected, having played the piece "Cool as a Cucumber" so often successfully in London—an obstinacy for which I paid the penalty—it went off from beginning to end with what actors call "one roar," and I am plsy ing it nightly to "overflowing and enthusiastic audiences..

By John Ball, M.R.I.A , F.L.S., See., late President of the Alpine Club. One vol., pp. 377. Longman. " Il n'y a plus de Pgrenies," exclaimed Louis XIV. when a member of his own family was placed on the throne of Spain. " The Pyrenees are no more." In a kindred spirit it may be said that the enterprise and determination of modern travellers, mare particularly among the number the late Albert Smith, have abolished, not the Alps, but the difficul ties and obstacles which to a certain extent rendered them heretoforeinaceessible. The autumn tour among the Alps has become now-a-days almost as much a matter-of-course as a gallop in Rotten Raw during the season. Even Mon q ßlane has lost his terrors. The daring mott o o f the Alpine traveller is " Ex celsior." No difficulties daunt him—" If it is pos sible, it is done; it it is impossible, we will do it !" So general and so earnest has become the passion for " mountaineering" among our adventurous coun trymen that a number of gentlemen have enrolled themselves as members of the Alpine Club. Their avowed object is " to explore those districts of the Alps which are little known, to scale the higher summits, and to discover passes that should connect valleys that are separated by lofty ranges." The late President of the Alpine Club, Mr. Ball, one eminently well qualified for the task, has just brought out a guide book for the Western Alps which will henceforth rank as the Alpine Guide for that locality. About the size of Bradshaw, but with this difference that where Brad shaw too often tends to bewilder, Mr. Ball serves to enlighten, this little volume is pro fusely illustrated with most excellent and elaborate maps, drawn expressly for the work, with the various routes laid down, and the various stations marked out. These maps should have been backed with linen, for they are designed for frequent use sod consultation, and we doubt not will be turned over again and again during many an Alpine ram ble. The volume is divided into two parts. The Alpine Guide (the second part) contains full and elaborate descriptions of a variety of different routes, all numbered or merged with different letters of the alphabet, corresponding with the routes drawn out in the maps. From these descriptions the traveller learns all necessary particulars not only con cerning the various places to be visited, but respecting the manner of travelling and the time likely to be required in the transit from one spot to another. Every item of necessary in formation as regards the route, the scenery, the guides, or the resting-places will be here found duly chronicled with praiseworthy fidelity. The first part of the book consists of some very interest ing introductory descriptions, from which we ex tract the following remarks on THE DANGERS OF ALPINE TRAVELLING. " The dangers of Alpine expeditions may be divided into two classes—the real and the imaginary. Where a ridge or slope of rock or ice is such that it could be traversed without difficulty if it lay but a few feet above the level of a garden, the substitution on either side of a precipice some thousands of feet in depth, or of a glacier crevasse, makes no real difference in the work to be done, though it may have a formidable effect on the traveller's imagina tion. Those who cannot remeve this source of danger by accustoming themselves to look unmoved down verti cal precipices, and, in cases of real difficulty, to fix their attention exclusively en the ledge or jutting crag to which they must cling with foot or hand, should avoid expeditions where a moment's nervousness may endanger their own lives or those of others. " The real dangers of the high Alps may, under ordinary circumstances, be reduced to three. First, the yielding of the snow bridges that cover glacier crevasses; second, the risk of slipping upon steep slopes of hard ice; third, the fall of ice or rocks from above. "From the first and most frequent source of danger ab solute security is obtained by a precaution generally known, but often neglected. In the higher region of the glaciers, crevasses, even of considerable width, aro often completely bridged over by a covering of snow or neve, so that no in dication of their existence is seen on the surface of the glacier. The bridges, especially when formed of fresh snow, often yield under the weight of a man's footsteps; in such a case an active man whose attention is on the alert may sometimes extricate himself at once, but it more commonly happens that he falls into the chasm beneath, in which case his chance of life is faint indeed. But if several travellers are tied together with a stout rope, as it is in the highest degree improbable that a majority of them shoula fall at the aurae moment into the same crevasse, no appreciable danger from this cause need be incurred. Even two travellers tied together may with a proper attention avoid this risk, but greater recut ity is obtained when there are three or more in number. It is mainly because he cannot be protected from this danger that a man who goes alone over the higher regions of the great glaciers incurs a risk that must be called unjustifiable. " As it is hard to persuade a landsman that a well-found yacht has more danger to fear in a fog, with a smooth sea around, than when a stiff breeze is blowing, so few moun taineers are willing to admit that there is more real chance of accident in, traversing some wide expanse of nevi, un broken by a single ruffle, than in crossing a broken glacier with wide crevasses opening on every side. A very mode rate amount of practice enables a man to make sure of his footing and to avoid seen dangers, but unseen perils call forth no caution, and though the rope offers complete se curity, few travellers yet understand that it should form a part of their regular equipment. At the risk of being thought overcautious, the writer will not cease to urge upon his fellow-travellers in the Alps the enactment, as a fixed rule in mountaineering, that on reaching the limit of the nevi the members of a party should all be roped together. He is perfectly aware that there are many places where the risk is very slight ; a practised mountaineer might cross the Theodule Pass 500 times without accident, but the 501st time ho might be lost in a crevasse, as has happened twice on or near the pass since the writer first knew it. With a sufficient inducement, and if it were impossible to find a c ompanion, ho would not hesitate to cross that or some other high pass alone, but if he were in company he would insist on the use of the rope. 4 ' It would seem scarcely necessary to add that the rope should be sound and strong, if it did not often happen that untrustworthy articles are taken by guides ; and it is not less important to note that it should be fastened round the body of each member of the party, guides included, leav • ing both hands free to use the alpenstock in case of a slip. A neglect of this obvious rule led, in 1860, to the loss of three English travellers, and one of their guides, in the descent from the Col du Giant to Courmayeur." A very interesting account of the geology of the Alps lies been translated by Mr. Ball for the benefit of his readers from an article by M. Desor, the celebrated Swi ss geologist. In short, Mr. Ball has omitted nothing likely to enhance the value and attractiveness of his Gi uide. lie modestly tells us that he has himself no claim to " a beilliant share in the adventurous performances of his friends and fellow-members of the Alpine Club." His qualifications for the task he has undertaken are, however, by no means insignificant. He can very justly boast of prolonged and extensive acquaintance with the regions which he has under taken to describe, having crossed the main chain of the Alp s no l es s than forty-eight times by thirty two di . ffeeent passes, besides traversing nearly one hundred of the lateral passes. The advice given in this volume consequently comes from one duly qualified by personal experience to instruct the novice and to advise the less experienced traveller . Messrs. Longmans have conferred a benefit upon all lovers of Alpine scenes, whose name now is legion, by placing within their reach this very excellent and admirable Guide-book. A Mining Journey Across the Great Andes. By Major F. Ignano Ricard. Pp. 314. Smith and Elder. Major Ricard having been appointed by the Argentine Republic Inspector-General of Mines, has given us an interesting record of his wan derings-- " Where Andes, giant of the western star, Looks from his throne of clouds o'er half the world." Much information may be acquired from a perusal of this little volume, which is Written by one well qualified for the task. In deiwribing the Republic of La Plate, Major Picard strongly recommends it as a fit place for immigration : "The very name of the Republic is in itself indicative of its mineral wealth. La Plata, or the silve r country, the name given by the early Spaniards on its discovery ; no doubt emanated from the fact of their having found large quantities of silver there. Its extent is enormous, reaching as it does, from the river Plate in the 34° of south lat. to Cape Horn in the 55°, and stretching across almost the entire continent to the Great Andes, which form a semi impenetrable barrier on the Chilian frontier ; then away to the north it joins Bolivia in about the 22°, and on the east the territory of Brazil; presenting on the whole such a diversity of climate as is not equalled by any other country in the world. It is larger than all Europe ; yet epidemic or sickness is almost unknown : but alas! there is that great want of population ; which in such an extensive terri tory is severely felt. Thousands of square miles of the richest and most productive soil remains in its primitive sca4t?, and cumparatiyely valuelee, though watered J:)y some of the finest rivers in the world. But the day, I trust, . not far distant when the tide of emigration, so long mis directed to the United States, must turn in this direction ; where a warm sympathy for foreigners already exists, and a hearty welcome awaits them!" The picture is certainly tempting enough, and we commend it to the attention of intending emi grants. A Country Visit, and its Consequences. By Charlotte Hardeastle. Three vols. Newby. This is a very pleasant, gracefully writte❑ story. It does not pretend to any very high merits as a work of art. Its chief attraction, indeed, is in its want of pretension. It is a simple story, simply told, and, as such, is very refreshing after the spasmodic attempts at " sensation" in which (in a rash emula lation of their betters) so many of our inferior novelists now indulge. The heroine of this story is a very charming and loveable girl, who is weary with the hollow fashionable career to which she is destined by her worldly and vulgar memma, and from which she escapes by the happy accident of this well-timed " country visit." The ridiculous manner in which the disappointed would-be "fashionable" lady accommodates herself to her altered circumstances is most amusingly described. Some other tales by the authoress of a" Country Visit" are contained in the volumes, some of which possess considerable interest. Guide to the Unprotected in matters relating to Property and Income. By a Bunker's Daughter. Pp. 119. Macmillan. This is a most useful and excellent little volume for those inexperienced in matters of business. The authoress, the daughter of a banker, being from her position necessarily familiar with various mat ters of form, has been, she tells us, frequently consulted by ladies, who, having property to dis pose of and to manage, have been totally ignorant how to proceed in such arrangements. For the benefit of these and such like " Unprotected Females" she has considerately prepared this little volume of useful information and practical advice. Among other things to be found here are full directions for all Lankirg transactions, writing cheques, &c., for the disposal of stock, &c. The laws respecting house property are defined. Tech nical terms of various kinds are fully explained, and the path of the novice made smooth before her. A Lady's Visit to Manilla and Japan. By Anna D'A. Pp. 296. Hurst and Blackett. The account of a lady's experiences of these un familiar climes may naturally be regarded with interest. The fair authoress has narrated her ad ventures and given her descriptions of the strange scenes among which she found herself, in a very attractive manner. The book is adorned with a very characteristic coloured sketch of Nagasaki. Three Weeks in Majorca. By William Dodd A.M. Pp. 169. Chapman and Hall. This is one of those modest little books which have small pretension in their title or appearance, but which, on a closer examination, commend themselves to the reader's attention. We have been much interested in Mr. Dodd's description of Majorca, f_nd the other islands of the Mediterranean Sea. His manner is lively and pleasant, and his remarks on the various localities which he describes often display great good sense and good feeling. Behind the Veil; and other Poems. By the Hon. ;Roden Noel. Ooe vol., pp. 161. Macmillan. As is generally the case in such collections, the smaller poems in this volume are greatly superior to the more ambitious and elaborate introduction, the very subject of which is alarming in its im mensity. It is dedicated "to Ecila" (evidently Alice),and the author tells us that it has cost him— " Long anxious care, at times thought agonised ;" and we fear that many of his readers will endure similar sufferings before the whole drift of the poem is Blear to their comprehension. Among the smaller pieces one of the happiest is upon an old tr.an revisiting the scenes of his youth. The senti ments which animate Mr. Roden are fu 1 of charity and reverence. His heart is evidently in " the right place," but it is a pity that his imagination should bewilder itself with the subtleties of meta ph3 sits. Hand book to the Calculator and Letter Box. By J. S. Laurie. 12m0., pp. 16. Longman. Upwards of three-and-twenty years ago, while visiting one of the three recently established National Schools in Ireland, we remember witness. ing for the first time the employment of the Abacus or Ball-Frame, as a means of inducting (with the utmost ease) a number of very young children into the elementary mysteries of Arithmetic. The Little Handbook here supplied to the calculator (and Letter Box) by the Editor of the Graduated Series of Reading Books, already noticed in The Sun in terms of well merited commendation, will tend directly to impress the mind of every English Teacher with a conviction of the many advantages comprised within that very admirable system of tuition—the impart ing of knowledge by the actual sight and touch of visible and tangible objects. A cedar box, with a sliding lid—the lid partitioned into exactly a dczen divisions—the box containing five-and-twenty round counters, as well as eight-and -seventy pieces of wood : behold tho very simple ap paratus for the calculator ! The twelve divi sions on the lid being available for imparting a knowledge of notation and of fractions. The five-and-twenty counters, for teaching counting and notation. The seventy-eight pieces of wood, for giving accurate information in the matter of frac tions. Supplied , a ith this very simple and very compact apparatus, the child and the teacher have, in the form of that little cedar box and its contents, calculator and the letter box in one. The duplication, in this way, is here very readily effected by the seventy-eight pieces of wood already mentioned be ing marked on one side with fractions, from a whole to one-twelfth, and so on—and upon the other side marked, as distinctly, for reading. T he very lid of the box having fastened down upon the back of it a printed sheet, containing the alphabet in clear, bold type; that type representing both letterpress and handwriting. This wonderful little magic box may certainly be defined as somewhat better than poor fabled Pandora's—seeing that no ills whatever come from this one, and that yet good hopes and prospects are nevertheless stored up there, too, perpetually—good hopes and prospects that the child-student, out of these little counters and partitions within it, may win his way in good time through arithmetic up, up, up to geometry and ma thematics. The little box here referred to, and its contents may be scanned any day by those who list at the South Kensington Museum ; or it may be seen, as a footnot e t e ll s us a t page 3, a t t h e great publishing house at the Row whence issues this ingenious Handbook, as a sort of pocket-key to that same small literary and arithmetical Cabinet, at once Let ter box and Calculator. A SAGACIOUS GAMEKEEPER'S DUG, —Yesterday, at the Wakefield Court-house, Joseph Bullock and James Armitage were charted with night poaching on land at Rothwell, in the occupation of Mr. Richard Sykes, and belonging to Mr. Calverley. It seemed that at halt-past one o'clock in the morning Isaac Jellings, a watcher in the em ploy of Mr. Calverley, and other assistants, were out. In a field occupied by Mr. Sykes they saw four men, who had nets spread, and, with the assistance of a dog, were ranging after game. They went to them, and a struggle commenced. One man, named James Ellis, was apprehended, and left in the custody of James Booth, while the fight was continued to secure the rest. The result of the struggle, however, was that the men escaped, and Jellings placed a dog h e h ad with him upon the track of the two prisoners, and he fol lowed after. He came up to his dog while it was standing on the brink of a pond, and said to it, " Where is he ?" Th e dog immediately sprang into the water, but he could not think that any one was there, and took no steps. The dog came out of the pond, and he repeated the question, where upon it ran along a hedge side until it came to a place where Bullock was concealed, who was apprehended and secured. Jellings and his dog then returned to the side of the pond, an' Jellings repeated the question, " Where is he ?" • The dog again jumped into the water, and this time he followed it, and in going through the water he trod upon Armitage, who was up to the neck in the pond, his head being con cealed under a tree root. He seized hint and pulled him out of the water, and he also was secured. Bullock, a known poacher, was sent to prison for two months, and Armitage was committed for six months to prison, each of them to find surety to keep the peace for 12 months after his release from gaol.

FOR.EIGN-OFFICE, Sept. 18. The following despatch has been communicated to Earl Russell by the Russian Ambassador at this Court : c PRINCE GORTCHARIOFF TO BARON TIRTINNOW. Tsarkoe-Selo, Aug. 26 (Sept. 7), 1863. Lord Napier has, by order of hisGoveinnient; commu nicated to me a despatch from Lord Russell, of which your Excellency will find a copy hereunto annexed. It is an answer to my despatch of the Ist (13th) July last, which your were invited to communicate to the Prin cipal State of her Britannic Majesty. The overtures which he had set forth in that document were dictated to us by the desire to arrive at an unler standing. In receiving the observations which they have sug gested to Lord Russell with the attention which we always pay to the opinions of her Britannic Majesty's Government, we cannot but regret that we must come to the conclusion that we have not attained the end which we had proposed to ourselves. _ _ From the moment that this discussion could only end in establishing and in confirming the divergence of our views, it would be too contrary to our conciliatory disposition for us to seek to prolong it, and we believe tbat in this we are not acting at variance with the sentiments of the Principal Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty. We prefer to fix our attention only upon the essential points of his despatches, upon which we find ourselves agreed, at least in intention. Her Britannic Majesty's Government desire to see promptly re-established in the Kingdom of Poland a state of things which shall restore tranquility to that country, repose to Europe, and security to the relations of the Cabinets. We entirely share in this desire, and all that can depend upon us sball be done to realise it Our august Master continues to be animated by the most benevolent intentions towards Poland, and by the most conciliatory towards all foreign Powers. To provide for the welfare of his subjects of all races and of every religi ous conviction is an obligation which his Imperial Maj...tsty has accepted before God, his conscience, and his people. The Emperor devotes all his solicitude to the fulfilment of that obligation. As regards the responsibility which may be assumed by his Majesty in his international relations, those relations are regulated by public right. The violation of those fundamental principles can alone involve responsibility. Our august Master has constantly respected and observed those principles with regard to other States. His Majesty has the right to expect and to claim the same respect on the part of the other Powers. You will be pleased to read and give a copy of this de spatch to the Principal Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty. Receive, &C, LONDON GAZETTE. --This Evening. FOREIGN-OFFICE, SEPT. 12.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING A TRADESHAN, — Martha Ann Rose, it sbabbily-dressed woman, and John Berry, a rough-looking fellow, were charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly bon duct, and annoying Mr. W. Rose,naval and military tailor s of 2, Norris-street, Haymarket, the husband of the first named defendant. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant, and from the learned gentle man' s statement, borne out by his client, it appeared that the complainant was married to bis wife when he was an apprentice boy. After being married about two years the complainant found that his wife consorted with other men. He then left her, and had been separated from her about 30 years, but about biz years ago she was taken into custody for annoying her husband, and bound over at the Clerken well Police -court to keep the peace towards him. Yester day, accompanied by the man Berry, she went to the com plainant's house. swore she would tear his " - liver out," and got a crowd round the door of nearly 100 persons. The man also swore that he would have " the - house down" if Mr. Rose did not let his wife have some money. The wife said she wanted to ask the magistrate whether her husband could not be compelled to keep her ? Mr. Knox said that if a husband deserted his wife the proper way was to make herself chargeable to the pariahs and then an investigation would take place ; but if the hus band was able to show that his wife had been living in, adultery, the parish would have no hold, and the wife no claim on her husband, and that was what he (Mr. Knox) believed would turn out to be the case. As the wife had been quiet for six years, he would take her own recognisance; but it she annoyed her husband again, she would be put under heavy bail. He should fine the man 20s. The wife said her husband had been living with a female, and had been guilty of adultery. Mr. Lewis said that, in fairness to Mr. Rose, he wished to state that there was no truth in the wife's statement. THAMES. ----- AN UNNATURAL FIGHT.—Mary Donnelly, alias Cathe. rine Bryan, with many other aliases, the terror of puhlicans and policemen, who has been in custody a great many times was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and breaking two pan% of glass in the window of the Crown and Seven Stars public-house in. Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel. Rosemary-lane was re-named Royal Mint -street from its contiguity to the Mint a few years ago, but the character of its inhabitants has not improved, dissipation and ruffianism reign triumphant there. The prisoner is the leader of a desperate gang of disorderly women who are almost con tinually drunk and fighting, and creating all manner of disturbances. The prisoner went into the Crown and Seven Stars public-house last night and demanded liquor. Mr. John Mann refused to serve her with anything. She abused him, and made a great disturbance. A man inter fered, and she fought with him. He gave her a good thrashing. Such were the words uttered by the landlord. In revenge for this prisoner made an attempt to break the window. The landlord interfered, and the prisoner struck him several times. He got her away and turned her out of the house. She then picked up two stones and hurled them at his windows. Two panes of glass were broken. Mr. Partridge said it was highly reprehensible for the landlord of a public-house to suffer any fighting in his house, but it was still more disgraceful to allow such an unnatural thing as a man and a woman to fight. The complainant said he could not prevent it. The pri. Boner was the greatest nuisance that ever existed. Mr. Partridge—You should refuse to serve her with any. thing except water. The complainant—l do, sir. She has not spent a six pence i n my house for 12 months. She comes into my house and creates a disturbance, fights with every one, throws pots at me, and keeps the neighbourhood in a state of tumult. The prisoner, whose face was contused, and one eye blackened, presented a repulsive appearance, and Fielding's celebrated description of Blear-eyed Moll in his novel of "Amelia," would answer well for the description of the pri onShe complained of being knocked about, and said the publican beat her, and was always " paying her out." Mr. Mann declared ho never touched the woman, and that she was a perfect curse to him. Mr. Partridge had no doubt the prisoner was a very dis orderly, violent. and drunken woman, but he could not too strongly deprecate the fight between her and a man in a public-house. He fined her is., and ss. the value of the glass broken. The prisoner doubled her fist, scowled at the com plainant, and exclaimed, " I'll knock the publican's b—y eye out when I come out of prison." Mr. Partridge--You shall be locked up for five minutes, and if you do not withdraw that threat and express sorrow for saying so, I will make you find bail. The prisoner was again arraigned in five minutes. She said she was very sorry, and did not intend to hurt the publican. Mr. Partridge—You had better not. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.
