ATONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market today is decidedly firmer, and there is less money on offer, consequent upon the recent, absorption for a variety of purposes. This state of affairs, however, is regarded as merely temporary, and in a few days easier rates are ex pected. Advantage is taken of the opportunity pre sented by the settlement at the Stock Exchange, the usual disbursements at the end of the month and other circumstances, to enforce full terms for the negotiation of commercial bills, and the conse quence is that accommodation can be obtained from the Bank of England at rates quite as favourable as those required in other quarters. A second circular bas been issued by the directors of the Standard Bank of British South Africp, referring to the proposition to be submitted at the Ensuing meeting for the issue of 5,000 additional shares. They state that this new capital is required For the purchase of private banking houses at the Cape. Arrangements are already in progress to secure the contemplated business, and it is thought that the result will prove highly satisfactory to the ?roprie t ary of the Standard Bank. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday !ornprised a further influx of £3,000 in bar gold. The amount of gold brought by the Edmund Graham from Melbourne is £75,500. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the markets for foreign and Dolonial produce. Tea has been dull at previous rates, while limited transactions have been reported a sugar, coffee, and cocoa, and in some instances at rather reduced prices. Rice has been in good de mend, while a moderate business has been transacted n saltpetre and tallow; for the latter commodity ?rites have been firmer, owing to the advices re :eived from Russia and America. A call of £2 per share has been made by the lirectors of the London and South American Bank. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. advise that they Lave received on account of the Venezuela dividends , 6 per cent. of the import duties from 16th to 30th lay ; from the port of Puerto Cabello, 8,683 71 01S. ; from La Guayra the amount due was 9,400.05 doll„ of which only a portion has been eceived, in consequence of the troubles at that port.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A FEMALE BY HER PARA MOUR.--Henry Broughton, a well-dressed young man, described as a decorator of glass, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Susan Latteney, of 11, Old Compton-street, said—l live with the prisoner, and yesterday, about 12 o'clock, I went out to get some money for the prisoner, who lives upon me. He promised to meet me in Regent-street, and he did so about a o'clock. He asked me how much I had got, and I said, "A sovereign," and gave it to him. He said that was not enough, and I was to get more. I then met another gentleman, and I went with him to Oxenden-street, the prisoner following, as was his habit. The gentleman gave me three sovereigns, which I gave to the prisoner, whe had been waiting for me opposite the house I went to with the gentlemen. The prisoner then asked me if that was all the gentleman had given me, and on my telling him it was, he said he must have more, as he wanted £2O that week. He thin demanded my watch and chain, and on my giving them to him he said, " Now, I'll tear all your clothes off." He then knocked me down in the road, tore my hair, and clothes, and tried to cut my throat with a penknife with a white handle. A number of women came up ana called the prisoner a brute, and some of them scratched his face. He then get into a cab and went off, leaving me half naked, and without a penny. I then went to my mother's house in Chapel-street, where he afterwards came and beat me about the head in a most violent manner with a stick, and also again attempted to cut my throat with a penknife. He was afterwards given into custody, Mr. Tyrwhitt—How long have you lived with the pri soner ? Prosecutor—About two years. The mother of the prosecutrix corroborated her as to a portion of her statement. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Prisoner what have you got to say. Prisoner set up a cowardly defence, at the same time crying. Mr. Tyrwhitt—A more base and cowardly life a man could not lead than you (prisoner) have been leading, and then you use brute force to the female upon you have been living, and who evidently has been living with you from fear and some sort of infatuation which I cannot understand. You are a cowardly ruffian, and when you find •hat the law is going to be put in force against you for your brutal conduct you begin crying. You will go for six months with hard labour, and at the end of that time find two bails of £lO each to keep th 9 peace for 12 months. The prosecutrix—He has threatened to murder me if I do not live with him. WESTMINSTER. HEARTLESS ROBBERY.—A middle-aged woman, who gave the name of Elizabeth Scanlan, was charged with steal.. ing a scarf and coat, three half quartern loaves, and some meat belonging to Mrs. Smith. Eliza Smith, the daughter of the prosecutrix, said that on Sunday morning her mother was robbed of the articles de scribed. She occupied an attic and a ki , ch.n in Dacre street, Westminster, and the whcle of the stolen articles were in the kitchen. At a little after six on Sunday morn ing witness met the prisoner on the staircase with a bundle in her hand, and running up against her one of the loaves she had in it fell out. It was subsequently discovered that her mother's kitchen had been entered and the things stolen. Mr. Selfe—How was it that, meeting the woman as you describe and carrying a bundle, that you did not stop her ? Witness—Because I was foolish. I thought she might be an upstair's lodger ; but even then I could have made some inquiry of her. Prosecutor—lt was a most heartless and cruel robbery. She had to stretch over my five orphan children, who sleep in the kitchen, to get the bread and meat she carried away, and the poor things and myself had to go without dinner on Sunday through it ; and the coat taken was one I had to repair, and its loss may lose me my employment. Mr. Selfe—ls anything known of the prisoner? The police—She is an old thief just come out. Prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A LITERARY THlEF.—Henry Wilson, aged 32, who gave his address, Wilks-street, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with ste,Aing two printed books the property of Mr. Benjamin Briant, of No. 15, New-road, St. George-in-the-East. There is a book stall before the prosecutor's house, and yesterday afternoon, shortly before six o'clock, the pri soner was looking at the books. Mr. Samuel Cohen the pro secutor's shopman, observed him, and knowing him to be "a queer sort of character" went to the opposite side of the way and watched his movements. The prisoner soon after wards took two books from the stall, put them under his coat, and walked off with them. Mr. Cohen followed the prisoner and laid hold of him, One of the books was found under the prisoner's coat, the other in his pocket, In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the witness said that the reason he called the prisoner a queer sort of character was, that he kept a shop himself. The prisoner used to visit that shop and rob him. William Andrews, 38 H, said that he heard the cries of police and help, and saw the prisoner and Mr. Cohen strug gling for the possession of a book with a red binding, and he went up to them and secured the thief. The prisoner—l picked up the books. Mr. Woolrych—No doubt of it. You picked up the books off the stall. You are sentenced to one mouth's imprison ment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the books. A YOUNG SCOUNDREL.—CharIes Mackenzie, a tall, pale faced lad, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Elizabeth Day, a girl who will be twelve years of age in August next. Mr. Henry Allen, agent and prosecuting officer to an ex cellent society, called the " Associate Institution for Im proving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women," was present to watch the case. The Associate institution recently prosecuted the Howards, lather and son, and a woman of the town named Bentley, who had entered into a conspiracy to defile a young girl named Markett. The prosbcution was successful, and the wretches are now undergoing imprisonment. It appeared that the girl Day is the daughter of poor but very respectable parents, and was a servant in the house No. 10, Walker's -terrace, Limehouse, where the pri soner was an apprentice. Their bedrooms were adjoining each other. On Sunday morning the prisoner obtained ad mission to the girl's bed while she was asleep. She was awoke by his violence, and the eviderxe she gavo left no doubt he had committed a criminal assault upon her. She avoided him as soon as possible, and he sprang from the bed and left her. The girl went home immediately and related to her mother what had occurred. The mother examined her daughter, and was satisfied the girl had been improperly used. A medical gentleman was called in, and his evidence went to show that violence had been offered to the girl. In answer to a string of questions by Mr. Woolrych, the girl said the prisoner never took any liberties with her un til Sunday morning, and that she had never given him any encouragement to act as he had done. . She was very much terrified when she found him in her bed. He came into the kitchen with his face cut on Saturday night, and asked her to put a dressing to it, and she did so, The father of the prisoner addressed the magistrate in favour of his son. He said he was foreman to Mr. Gray, in Limehouse, where his son, the prisoner, was apprenticed, and was proceeding to call the magistrate's attention to the fact that if the girl had called out, she would have been heard by other people in the house, when Mr. Woolrych said he did not want to hear the man's statement or his reasonings. He was satisfied a primafaci• case was established, and should commit the prisoner for trial for an assault e n a girl between 10 and 12 years of age. Ai present the prisoner would be remanded, for the com pletion of dispositions, until Tuesday next. Mr. Allan said the Associate Institute would prosecute. THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twe.,ty minutes past twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho North-Eastern and Stockton and Darlington Rail way Companies Amalgamation Bill was considered with reference to certain amendments, and was ordered for third reaaing.

The committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 3B Against it Majority~ The amendment was, therefore, introluced into the clause. [LEFT SITTING.] PRICE OF GOLD IN NEW YORK. The commercial letters from New York yesterday mention that the first effect of the invasion was to send the premium on gold up to 50 per cent. In the absence of further definite news there was then a reaction to 471, and just before the departure of the steamer a telegram that the Confederates had not yet advanced on their march from Chambers burg to Harrisburg further than within 25 miles of Carlisle, and that their force in that quarter con sisted only of 3,50') men, caused a fresh decline to 456 to 46. Nevertheless, it was apprehended by some of the experienced merchants that this tele gram was one of the usual packet telegrams, and that after the making up of the European mail bad intelligence might be received. The Northern journals endeavoured for the most part to assure the public that the invasion was; merely a raid for retaliation and plunder, that there was no possi bility of the Confederates holding any part of Mary land or Pennsylvania, and that General Lee must be driven back or captured in a very few days. Soule persons, however, were disposed to believe that Generrl Lee would not have moved his main army for such a purpose, and that he intended aim at the capture either of Baltimore or Pittsburg— most probably the latter, in order to seize the large iron works where most of the hervy cannot , or the Federals :are made, and whence he could subse ently march to join General Bragg, and to get mand of the South-west. Wit h regard to Vicksburg, the report had gained strength that General John stone had been reinforced, and that General Grant was in danger of being compelled to raise the siege. RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTH, (From the Morning Post.) The recent movements of the Confederates will, however, banish for a time from the consideration of both the Government and of the people such commonplace matters as arbitrary and unconsti• tutional acts on the part of the authorities. At this side of the Atlantic they will also tend to direet men's minds into a channel from which European disturbances have for a time diverted them. All attempts at mediating between the belligerents have failed, but their failure has not necessarily sa tisfied neutral Powers of the expediency of remain ing perfectly passive so long as the Federal Go vernment are mad enough to protract a hopeless struggle. The question of recognising a State which has now for upwards of two years main tained its independence despite the herculean efforts made to crush it, constantly recurs, and will on this evening he discussed in the British House of Commons. Mr. Roebuck proposes to sub mit to Parliament the expediency of recognis ing the independence of the Southern Con federacy ; and he will be in no want of argu ments to support his proposal. The present invasion of the Northern States by the Confederate forces carries with it conclusive proof of the strength and vigour of the Confederacy, end affords a con vincing reply to those who would contend that it has not yet given evidence of being able to maintain its independence. On the other hand we may ex pect to hear the oft-repeated argument that the time has not yet come when the recognition to which a just claim has bee❑ long since established should be accorded. If this argument, however, means any thing, it means that the Southern Confederacy should not be recognised until the Federal Govern ment have agreed to conclude a peace ; or, in other words, that neutrals should not anticipate the ad versaries of the infant State in admitting it into the family of nations. Ir. is, needless, however to say that such a principle is not sanctioned by interna tional law, and that the real issue left for the deci sion of neutral States is simply the ability or in ability of the new State to maintain its indepen dence. If the claims of the Southern Confederacy had been estimated by this test, it would have been long since diplomatically represented at the Courts of Europe. But the fact is, that from an extraor dinary desire not to give umbrage to the Fede ral Government, and in order to avoid embitter ing or possibly prolonging the conflict, neutral States have hesitated to accord to the Southern Confederacy that recognition which, nevertheless, it is well known it must ultimately receive. However sound the policy may have been which dictated this course in the early period of the war, we think the time has long passed when it could be wisely pur sued. Until the close of last autumn the question was certainly an open one whether the seceded States could succeed in establishing the Govern ment of their choice ; and until then the feel ings of the Northern population were such that the formal acknowledgment by Europe of the prowess of their opponents would only have had the result of exciting them to increased efforts to effect their subjugation. But during the past nine months a great change has taken place in the sentiments of the inhabitants of the Northern States, During that time the armies of the esta blished Government have been invariably defeated whenever they came in collision with those of the new Confederacy. Against a long series of damag ing defeats they are unable to set off a single vic tory. In regard to the possession of territory, the relative positions of the belligerents remain un changed. The consequences have been that the North is heartily sick of war, and only wants a pre text for discontinuing a purposeless struggle. Such a pretext would to our minds be supplied with the official declaration by the chief European States that the attempt to coerce the South was hopeless. Those who think otherwise, in effect say that the North should confess itself beaten, whilst neutral States by their silence still admit the subjugation of the South to be feasible, This we have no right to expect from the North. It is for us to pronounce the contest unavailing, and thus afford to a perti nacious and proud combatant an opportunity of yielding to the voice of public opinion. We sin cerely believe that the recognition of the South by Europe would be hailed with satisfaction by the people of the Northern States, and that the weak and contemptible Government which at present directs public affairs in America could not long op• pose itself to the unanimous expression of opinion on both sides of the Atlantic.

CHATEAUBRIAND (says Victor Hugo) affected a military appearance. The man of the pen could not forget the man of the sword. His throat was stiffened by a black stock, which concealed the collar of his shirt : a black frock-coat, buttoned to the chin, straightened his little, stooping body. What was fine about him was his head, which was in disproportion with his figure, and was noble and grave. The nose was firm and iniperious in line, the eye proud, the smile cLarming—but the smile was a mere flash, and the mouth soon resumed its severe and haughty expression. —Victor Hugo's Lift.

THE LAST MINUTE ON BOARD AN EMIGRANT SHIP.—I looked about me again, and saw the letter writing going on with the most curious composure. Per fectly abet ratted in the midst of the crowd; while great casks were swinging aloft, and being lowered into the hold; while hot agents were hurrying up and down, adjusting the interminable accidents ; while 200 strangers were searching everywhere for 200 other strangers, and were asking ques tions about them of 200 more; while the children played up and down all the steps, and in and out among all the people's legs, and were beheld, to the general dismay, top pling over all the dangerous places ; the letter writers wrote on calmly. On the starboard side of the ship, a grizzled man dictated a long letter to another grizzled man in an immense fur cap : which letter was of so protound a quality, that it becomes necessary for the amanuensis at intervals to take off his fur cap in both his hands for the ventilation of his brain, and stare at him who dictated as a man of many mysteries who was worth looking at. On the larboard side, a woman had covered a belaying-pin with a white cloth, to make a neat desk of it, and was sitting on a little box, writing with the deliberation of a bookkeeper Down upon her breast on the planks of the deck at this woman's feet, with her head diving in under a beam of the bulwarks on that side, as art eligible place of refuge for her sheet of paper, a neat and pretty girl wrote for a good hour (she fainted at last), only rising to the surface occasionally for a dip of ink. Alongside the boat, close to me on the poop-deck, another girl, a fresh well-grown country girl, was writing another letter on the bare deck. Later in the day, when this self same boat was filled with a choir who sang glees and catches for a long time, one of the singers, a girl, sang her part mechanically all the while, and wrote a letter in the bottom of the boat while doing so,—Charles .Dickens in " All Me Year Round," ju . st published. TIIE BR EADALBANE SUCCESSION.—On Saturday the judge of the first. division of the Court of Session gave judgment on the petition of Lieutenant Campbell, one of the claimants of this succession, for the sequestration of the estates till the claims of parties are decided on. The Court held that as the legitimacy of the father of Mr. Camp bell, of Glenfalloch, which the petitioner impugned in order to defeat Mr. Campbell's claim to the succession, had been hitherto recognised, Mr. Campbell's claim to be considered the heir apparent must be allowed. It was considered that the petitioner should have been more explicit in his state ments—for instance, that he should have mentioned the date of the birth cf Mr. Campbell's father, as, although the person whom his grandfather married had been at the time the wife of another man, there was nothing to prevent the supposition of a re-marriage and the birth of the respon dent's father afterwards. Lord Dees dissented from the judgment of the Court, holding that suflicient facts had been stated by the petitioner to justify the sequestration of the estate. It was the duty of the respondent to have stated the true facts about his grandfather's marriage, and not have zonfintd himself to a simple denial. The Court re served to the petitioner the right to make a new application as the case progressed. The petitioner was also found liable in the expenses. It is understood he will immediately appeal to the House of Lords. DEATH OF A VETERAN, We have to announce the death of Major-Gen. Thomas Kelly, K.C., on the 27th, inst., at No. 7, Lansdowne-square, Rosherville, at the age of 87. He entered the army nearly 70 years ago, and was early engaged with his regiment, the 26th Light Dragoons, in the operations carried on towards the close of the last century in the West India Islands, and was actively employed agaiut the Caribs and the French till he was ordered to Portugal. Oa the voyage the transport was attacked by a Spanish gunboat, which was beaten off, and in the conflict he much distinguished himself. He proceeded to Egypt with the force under Sir R. Abercrombie, and participated in the engagements which crowned the expedition with success; and he was present at the siege of Aboukir, and in the operations under Sir Eyre Coate, near Alexandria. He was also en gaged in an action on the 21st of March, and was wounded in a night attack on the 25th of August, when he captured the whole of the enemy's pickets with a far inferior force. For these services he re ceived the gold medal from the Grand Seignor, and he also had the silver war medal with one clasp. But he was one of those who suffered from the great disadvantage of being sent to the West Indies on foreign service on the outbreak of the great European war, the Peninsula and Waterloo, so that he had no opportunity of sharing in the glories and in the promotions which fell to the lot of his more fortunate comrades, and his career from 1810, when he became a captain, was so slow that it was 20 years before he attained the rank of major. He was appointed Commandant of Tilbury Fort, where he discharged the duties, which were more onerous than might be supposed, with zeal and ability for 46 years, and only retired in consequence of age and infirmity a short time ago, with the rank of major-general. He leaves an aged widow to de plore hia loss. By his death a good service pension is rendered disposable. SHIPPING—This Day. - EY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESEND, Tuesday Morning.

THE SHAKSPEARE MONUMENT.—DRURY LANE THEATRE.—The performance in aid of the funds for erecting a national monument to Shakapearo takes place this evening, and from the extraordinary combination of talent an overflowing house will, no doubt, be the resuli. We are to have selections from no hss than nine of Shak speare's plays, each supported by the leading members of the dramatic profession. The selection from "As You Like It," with Miss Helen Faucit as Rosalind, will be a great treat. The performance, we see, is under the patronage of the Prince and Princess of Wales. THE REFRESHMENT-ROOMS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The subjoined resolutions have been agreed to by the select committee appointed to control the arrangements of the kitchen and refreshment-rooms in the department of the sergeant-at-arms:—" That it is the opi nicn of this committee—l. That an application be made to the commissioners of the fee fund for an additional annual grant of £3OO to provide for the better management of the kitchen and refreshment-rooms. 2. That the committee, having further considered the subject of the enlargement of the dining-rooms, are of opinion that such enlargement is absolutely necessary, and having seen Mr. Barry's im proved plan, are of opinion that it.; would afford the accom modation required, but express the hope that his plan might be executed for a smaller sum than the amount which has been named in the evidence. 3. That as the present mana ger still fails to pet form his duties satisfactorily, the com mittee should be empowered to receive proposals from any person who may be willing to undertake the office in the next session of Parliament." ~~ r t .I LAW INTELLIGENCE—June 29. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) MORRISON V. RELCHER.--LIBEL. This was an action brought by Mr. Richard James Mor rison, lieutenant in the Royal Navy; against the defendant, Admiral Sir E, Belcher, for writing and publishing a de famatory libel, to which the defendant pleaded as a justifi cation that the statement was in substance true. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Shee said the plaintiff was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and having distinguished himself in his profession temporarily retired from the service, and became a student of astronomy, and, amongst other things, of astrology. He also was the editor and proprietor of Zadkiel's Almanack, which had obtained an enormous circulation and great notoriety in consequence of his hav ing predicted the death of the Prince Consort. Alderman Humphrey having made some particular observations upon the statement in Zadkiel's Almanack, the circumstance was commented on in a leading article of one of the daily papers, and afterwards a letter, signed " Anti-Humbug," and which was of a most scurrilous nature, appeared in the same journal, and he should be able to prove that the writer of it was the defendant. The letter, after making some very severe comments, went on to inquire who was Zadkiel, and whether there was no means of ferretting him out and handing him over to the magistrate at Bow-street as a rogue and vagabond. The writer raid he thought he could help him to obtain the desired information, and he thought he had seen his signature as the president of some particular society—viz., R. J. Morrison. That he was also the celebrated Crystal Globe seer, the particular virtues of which were, that by its aid communications with the spirits of the departed might be made, and that he had even gone the length of saying that communications had been had with the spirits of the twelve apostles. That hehad engaged theservice of a noy through whom he 11E ed to act, but the boy had "peached" and thus the whole affair had been exposed—in fact, said the learned counsel, amounting to an assertion that my client was an unprincipled impostor. He then went on to describe the virtues of the " Crystal Globe," in which visions were stated to have been seen, arid said the mysteri ous " crystal" in the possession of the plaintiff was pur chased at the sale of the effects of the late Lady Blessing ton, and very shortly after, a boy, after looking at it some time, stated that he had seen visions, and also after that, a young man named Usher, not only said he had seen similar scenes, but had actually drawn representations of tee things he had seen in the " Crystal!' Now his client, Mr. Morrison, never for one moment pretended that he had seen visions such as were described, but his son having seen something which he said was con nected with the Arctic expedition, Lady Franklin desired the "crystal" might be brought to her, and from the pub licity given to the scene seen by young Morrison it became quite the rage in the fashionable world. Peers, bishops, ladies of the highest position, all were anxious to watch the crystal. So great became the pressure upon Mr. Mor rison that he was compelled to leave town, and he (Sergeant Shee) should be able to produce letters written by persons of the highest position to Mr. Morrison, all asking for a view of the crystal. Although an attempt might be made to draw the attention of the jury from the point before them, an action for the recovery of:damages for a malicious libel, by involving them in some sort of inquiry into the science of the stars, he felt satisfied that after Sir E. Belcher having refused to make the apology his client required, they would give him such damages as would prove he was not the unprincipled impostor the defendant said he was. The following is the concluding portion of the evidence which appeared in our Third Edition of last evening : Lady Harry Vane—The letter put into my hand is one I wrote relative to seeing the crystal. It was in consequence of something I had heard horn my father, the late Earl Stanhope. I went with two friends, but met others there. I saw the ball ; a little boy looked into it. He said he saw a great many things, but I cannot recollect how many. Neither I nor my friends paid anything to Lieut. Morrison for seeing. Cross-examined—Lord Effingham was of the party. It was at Mr. Morrison's own house that the exhibition took place. The Master of the Temple, Rev. Mr. Robinson said—l saw the Crystal Globe wire, once at my own house, and once at Sir J. Cockburn's. The plaintiff was present. The boy Usher looked in. He said he saw figures and writing. I asked him what he saw by putting one or two questions to him, and asked on one occ, mon if he saw my son, who was then in Jamaica. He described him and his wife sitting in chairs in the garden. He could not identify his son by the description. He merely said it was a clergyman and a lady. The ball was brought to my house at my own request. I never paid any money for it being brought there. The Bishop of Lichfield said—l was present at my son in-law's house when the ball was to be exhibited, I saw it, I had not the least reason in the world to believe that money was paid for the exhibition. Lady Egerton of Tatton—The letter put in my hand is written by me. I wont to see the Crystal Ball ; some gen tlemen were of the party. A boy looked in the ball. When I asked him how many guardian angels I had, he said " seven." (Laughter.) I said that was a large number— (laughter)—but the boy said most persons had four. (Laughter.) I was most courteously received, and I never paid any money for seeing the ball. The Marchioness of Aylesbury said—l saw the Crystal Ball at Mrs. Merton's. Several persons werepresent. The ball was looked into by a boy. Cross-examined —l did not make any inquiries relative to the " ball." I thought it such nonsense. Ido not attend voluntarily to-day. I was subpoenaed. The Rev. George Stokes—l knew the boy Usher and the son of Mr. Morrison. They were both pupils of mine. Mr. Morrison's wife was my daughter. I thought Mr. Mor rison was deceived as to what he thought about the ball. Cross-examined—Mr. Morrison professed that young persons saw visions in the ball, and I am certain he believed they did. I did not allow other boys beside Usher to look into the ball. lam sure none others went. Mr. Fulham Webster—l am a director of the New River Company, and reside in Berkshire. After 1 had seen the ball I wrote the letter put into my hand, request ing that my friends might see it. When I saw it a boy was looking, and he said ho saw a number of things, in answer to questions put to him. I became acquainted with Mr Morrison through friends. I paid no money for seeing the Crystal. Cross-examined—The first time I went wag with a lady, and the second time Mr. Reynolds was with me. I was not so happy as to receive a great quantity of guardian angels. I believe one of the questions asked was where Sweden borg was to be found ? Mrs. Ann Merton—l am the widow of Colonel Merton. I requested Mr. Morrison to bring the Crystal Ball to ray house. On the first occasion it was shown to friends of mine. _there was a large party. A young lady and gentleman looked into the ball, and were asked questions as to what they saw. The ball was brought to my house five or six times. Sir E. Belcher was present on two or three occasions. I don't recollect whether he was there the first time the ball was brought. I recollect Sir Edward asking me to get Mr. Morrison to bring the ball. Tho ball was brought and examined by Sir Edward' friends. Sir Edward did not ask' any questions about it. Nothing was paid, nor was any money given for the ball being brought. Cross-examined—lt was an evening party. I first met Mr. Morrison at the Rev. Mr. Stokes'. He kept a school. Young Usher used to come from the school to look at the globe. The Chief Justice—The ball was brought for amuse ment, and not for the purpose of prying into secrets of the past ? Witness—No, purely for scientific amusement. Mrs. Hoseason—l am the wife of Captain Hoseason, of the Royal Navy—l first saw the crystal ball at High Beach. I was intimately .c inainted withyoung Usher. He was the son of Admiral Usher. I have seen another young lad and Mr, Morrison's son look into the globe. I did not think young Usher was speaking the truth when he was describing what ho saw in the ball. No money was ever paid for exhibiting the crystal, Mr. Charles Kent—l am a member of the Bar, and the Proprietor and Editor of The Sun newspaper. I know the plaintiff very well. I recollect seeing the crystal ball seve ral years ago. It was at No. 1 Park-lane the ball was ex hibited. There were altogether four persons present, amongst whom was Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. A servant looked into the ball, and after gazing at it some time, she said she saw a man apparently either dying or dead, with his eyes closed and lying down. She said she saw a very curious tree, and described a house with a number of turrets. It appeared to me to resemble Knob worth-park, with which the girl's description corresponded. The girl had never been there. I gave no money, and heard no mention of any being given. I don't believe any was given. Cross-examined —she house in Park-lane was Sir Edward Lytton's. Lieut. Morrison, Sir Edward, myself, and a domestic servant were present. The servant, after looking some time at the ball, described Sir Edward's country house. Sergeant Shee—Although she had never been there ? Witness—Yes. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton—l recollect seeing the ball exhibited at my house. It was seen by a domestic servant, whom I had engaged abroad as cook. She looked in the glass, and described a place like my house in the country, but she might have seen pictures of it. I don't think any thing remarkable occurred after looking at the glass, or I should certainly have made a note of it. Mr. Morrison was introduced to me by a gentleman of very high attainments, and the highest honour, a great friend of mine, Mr. Kent. No money was paid for the exhibition of the ball most certainly. Mrs. Allen—l looked at the ball on one occasion. saw the reflection of my mother with a child in her arms in it. The ball became cloudy, but on clearing both the figures disappeared. On another occasion I saw a man in armour, and altogether a scene o f the most si ng ular and I mysterious nature. I shall n ev e r for g et it as l on g as live. Cross-examined—There could be no mistake ab b o e u oa t u w s h e al I saw. I refuse to look on the crystal in cou rt, consider it too solemn a thing to be laughed at. (Laugnter.) Y Miss Mary White said—l have on two occasions seen scenes in the Crystal, On the first occasion I saw a Swiss scene, with the snow falling, and on the other a ruined abbey. By the Chief Justice—l have never been in Switzerland, and I suppose the scenery I saw to be Swiss from pictures I may have seen. This closed the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee then addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and said the defendant had altogether failed to show that his client (Lieutenant Morrison) was the gross impostor he said he was, and that being the case it became their duty to find a verdict in his favour. The learned gentleman made some very severe remarks upon the conduct of Sir Edward Bel cher, and said although he had the spirit to write an anony mous libel, he had not the courage to get into the witness box, and attempt to prove the truth of his assertion. Sergeant Ballantine then addressed the jury for the de fendant, and in the course of his remarks he commented very severely upon the plaintiff, and said he would not insult the good sense of the jury by imagining for one moment that they would give a verdict unfavourable to his client (Sir E. Belcher), a gentleman who had passed so many years of his life in endeavouring to add to the stock of knowledge his countrymen possessed. The Lord Chief Justice, iu summing up the evidence said before they could fiad a verdict for defendant they must be of opinion that the facts stated in the libel were true, and that the plaintiff exhibited the ball, knowing it was an imposture, and that he did it in older to get money. Now, as far as the latter part of the defence was concerned, there could be no doubt that the charge of exhibiting the ball for gain had altogether failed, and although they might laugh at the plaintiff for believing in the revelations made by the boys looking ie. the crystal, they could not say he was an impostor. 'With respect to the publication of " Zadkiel's Almanack," the matter became altogether of a very different nature, because he could not help remarking that the publication of a volume of such a nature laid the party doing so open to very severe criticism. He thought there was a great deal in it of what was preposterous and mischievous, and an author imbued with the peculiarities of Zadkiel must expect to meet strictures of a not very pleasant nature. But then, even under such circumstances, those comments must be within the bounds of fair and honest criticism. They had heard the terms in which the author of the Almanack had been stigmatised, and they therefore would have to say how far he had suffered front those observations. The jury then retired. _ _ At so'clock the jury returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages—Twenty shillings. Mr. Griffiths, the junior counsel for the plaintiff, asked his lordship to give a certificate. The Chief Justice—lt is better to leave the verdict to take its own effect, I think. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. The strong controversy throughout the racing circles for some weeks back respecting the " Tomato case," as to the merit or demerit of the adjudication given by the gentle men solicited to act in conjunction with Admiral Rous on the part of the committee, the principal members of which were absolved from acting in consequence of having bets upon the issue, received an additional impetus last Monday by the publication of a notice repudiating the qualifications of those gentlemen, and reopening the case for the consi deration of a full committee of the room, founded upon a memorial presented by the principal members of the " ring," and which was fixed for settlement this afternoon at four. The settling upon the Northumberland, the Chelmsford, and Ipswich meetings of course attracted the usual number of speculators, but the room gave evidence of the laxity of interest in the verdict to be returned upon this unpleasant subject, and the betting in consequence was not entertained with the spirit that has characterised the proceedings here at this period of the year, and the return annexed will fully represent the business done. Shortly before the hour appointed the members of the committee left the lawn for the Council Chamber set apart in the residence of Mr. Tat tersall, and before post time the majority returned, when some curiosity was evinced by those interested in a favour able construction to ascertain the verdict, which was imme diately made known by the dissatisfaction exhibited on all sides, In the absance of any notification in the usual place we were given to understand that a full committee of the room assembled, and, after a long discussion, " It was re solved to submit the question, after the award returned by those gentlemen who were requested to act as arbitrators , for the opinion of Mr. O'Malley, Q.

For Goodwood Stakes, linutsford finished as good a favourite as anything. Anfield was decidedly out of favour, although 100 to 8 was booked once, and offers of that amount were plentiful. 100 to 6 was asked for about Can zonette, and 100 to 5 would havebeen taken about Loiterer. 100 to 6 Zapateado and 100 to 5 Bellman were each taken several times without improving their position. Very little was done on the Cumberland Plate.
