ONE MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The usual payments at the termination of the quarter have stimulated the demand for discounts, and the market to-day presents a firm and active appearance. Very little, if any, accommodation can now be obtained under the Bank of England mini mum of 4 per cent., and there is consequently an in crease owing to the demand at that establishment. Since the last BAnk of England return was issued an aggregate of £456,000 in gold has been pur chased by the authurtties. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are, in round figures, as under : 1863. 1862.

On the 1 3reat Western there is an increase of £4 ; 910, on the Great Northern of £3,545, on the North Western of £4,869, on the South Western of £4,274, on the South _Eastern of £1,212, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £1,519, on the North Eastern of £5OB, on the Edinbnrgt. and Glasgow of £Bl3, and on the Great Western of Canada of £4,217. The Great Eastern, however, shows a decrease of £1,113, and the Midland of £2,300. The report just issued by the directors of the Ottoman Railway from Smyrna to Aden, to be submitted at the next half-yearly meeting of share- Itelders, states that the directors have devoted all their available resources to the completion of the unfinished portions of the opened line to Ephesus, and to demonstrate the superiority of the railway over the old camel transport, but their efforts have not been as successful as could be wished. The directors have opened communication with the Ottoman Government, with a view to improve the present situation of affairs. _ _ . Toe Indian Branch Railway Company held its first ordinary general meeting to-day. Mr. Wm. Dint in the chair. The report stated that in April last, a sufficient amount of capital having been sub scribed, measures were at, once adopted for provid ing the permanent way and rolling stock, which have been despatched to India. Tile deed of settle ment prevented the direct, Is postponing the meet ing until the account of the Mulhatee line was re ceived. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report and expressed his entire confidence in the success of the undertaking. The motion was unanimously agreed to, atter a lengthened but favourable discussion ; and resolutions were carried that interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be paid during construction on all capital called up, to commence from the Ist April next ; that a further issue of capital to the extent of 50,000 shares of £lO each be offered rateably to the shareholders ; and that the directors re,eive remuneration from the commencement of the company, the amount to be settled by the Wald.

Consols are now very firm at 921 for transfer, and at 9218 for the Bth proximo. One of the principal causes of the upward tendency is the large and continuous flow of gold into the Bank of England.

STONE V. STONE AND APPLETON. MARL BOhOUGH-STREET. This was a petition presented by the husband, Captain Stone, an officer in the Indian army, for dissolution of mar riage. The co-respondent, Mr. Appleton, was a medical man, and it was alleged that the familiarity took place while Mrs. Stone was living at Budleigh-Salterton. The peti tioner asked for damages against the co-respondent, who had put in no answer to the allegations in the petition. The hearing of the cause was resumed this morning by the evidence of Mr. Webb and Mr. Northcote, the medi • cal gentlemen who attended Mrs. Stone in her onfinement. Mr, Casey was also examined, and said Appleton left the country, as far as he knew, in consequence of his being in debt. 50 49i Whighty Roberts, a magistrate in Cornwall, and an intimate friend of Captain Stone's family ; he also knew Mrs. Stone's family. He recollected being present at an interview on the 23d of December, 1860, when Messrs. Brag, Stevenson, and Bishop, were present. it took place in Mr. Bishop's office in Exeter. At the meeting it was arranged that Mrs. Stone should go into lodging. A eon versaticn took place relative to the medical man who was to attend Mrs. Stone in her confinement. 66 97j f 101 100 j 45 j Mr. Kerslake objected to further examination on that point. Mr. Lopez said Mr. Bishop was ac ing for Mrs. Stone The Judge-Ordinary said the evidence as to that part of the case could not be received, unless it was proved in evi dence that one of the gentlemen were acting for Mrs. Stone. Mr. Lopez said be could not do that, mid therefore he should not question the witness further. In cross-examination the witness said he was the person who paid Susan Harris the 6s. a week as the representative of the petitioner's family. Mr. Lopez having read the letter written by Capt. Stone on the 10th of March, 1861, which was referred to in the opening of the case yesterday, said that was the case for the petitioner. Mr. Kerslake then procceeded to open the case on the part of the respondent, and said he trusted by the evidence he should call to give quite a different aspect to the case as it at present stood His learned friend had truly stated that this was a most painful case, for it would be attended with the most serious results either to Capt. or Mrs. Stone. It had beeu said the cam against the co-respondent Appleton had been proved by his not putting in an answer to charges b ought against him, but he thought the jury would not entertain that opinion. It was true that Appleton was ab sent, but tnen that absence was not occasioned by anything bearing upon this case, but by circumstances of a totally different nature. He hoped they would dismiss every bug. gestion of any adultery by Mr. Appleton, because he was absent from England when the citation was issued, and al though the usual means, through advertisement, had been used without success to make him acquainted with the steps that were to be taken in this court against Mrs. Stone, he thought it was going too far to say that non-appearance implied admission of guilt. He could only regret that, after Captain Stone and his wife had passed the terrible mutiny in India, that such unfortunate differences should have arisen between them as to lead the husband to seek for re dress in this court. The learned counsel then proceeded to show that the intimacy between Captain Stone and Mr. Appleton was that of intimate friends, and when Captain Stone left England to return to India in 1859, he had left Mr. Appleton with a knowledge that his fib nd Mr. Appleton was also ths friend and medi cal adviser et his wife He then proceeded to analyse and commmont on the evidence that had been brought forward to establish the alleged adultery between Mrs. Stone and Mr. Appleton, and contended that nothing had been adduced wh ch, in the slightest manner, to prove the allegations in the petition. The learned gentleman then referred to a number of letters he ititended to put in evidence, which would show that there was no pretence for Captain Stone bringing forward the charge of adultery against his wife. The case was proceeding when we w nt to press, and as there are 10 or 12 witnesses to be called for the respondent, tnere is no chance of its conclu ing to-day. 13 124 13} }j} * * 1 t2l 2 25 98J 4 55 324 2 91 i 90i 0411 , tmtlneso don, 62 3 1034 loq 1 i i 101} } 1063 f COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE LEWIS. This bankrupt was a draper in Clerkenwell, and this was a meeting for last examination. It appeared that the bankrupt had absconded, and, on surrendering, had been convicted of offences under the bankruptcy laws, and sentenced to penal servitude, but Ivid a portion of his sentence remitted, and now applied to pass his last eraraination. 1011 His Honour said there was nothing before him to show the accounts were correct. The solicitor to the assignees said that he believed they were the best the bankrupt could render, and the assignees therefore did not oppose. Th bankrupt had given infor mation which might be benefi3ial to the creditors. His Honour—He can pass SHERIFFS' COURT.. (Befi re Mr. Kerr.) " SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE" AT THE DR. JOHNSON-A VISIT TO LONDON.--WILLIAMS V. STOCKER. This was an action to recover for refreshments, &c., from May 9, to July 3, 1862, plaintiff being proprietor of the Dr. Johnson, and defendant, a young gentleman living with his f4ther at Wolvt rhampton. His Honour (reading through a monstrously long bill) — Pyramids, pyramids, and pyramids. Here is the most ex traordinary bill I ever saw. On cue day defendant had seven pyramids, on another four, and on another no less than eleven. One would think he had bought all the pyra mids of Egypt. (Laughter.) What on earth is a pyramid, and what could he want with so many ? Plaintiff—lt is a game at billiards. (Laughter.) His Honour Well, defendant, and did you have all these pyramids, and brandies, whiskeys, grogs, and— well, upon my word I—champagne 2s. (Laughter.) The last item carries its own punishment with it. (Great laughter.) Defendant—l admit all the pyramids, but I deny all the other items prior to the 6th June. His Honour—Ah I you dispute, then, very nearly all the bill ? 40 39 Defendant—l admit from the 6th June. 100 i i 1071 1111 }. His Honour—Even this on June 19th :—Four pyramids, bottle sherry, brandy, grogs, and I cannot tell what else P Defendant—l do not see how plaintiff can sue here. He has sold the debt for 30s. to a man named Briant. The first bill he sent me did not nearly come to the present claim, £8 4s. I admit about £3, whieh I am willing to pay, and when I left London there was a carpet bag, and desk, and hat-box, which I left behind. 1 here were cl. ithes and things in them, which would partially rub off the score. (Laughter.) - His Honour—And a pretty long sum, too, for billiards, brandy, and sherry. Plaintiff expressed his willingness to accept £4 3s. Bd. in Lull of all demands, and a verdict passed for that sum, BRUNT V. STOCKER. This was an action against the same defendant to recover £5, money lent. Defendant—l do not owe the money, but will admit it to save dispute. Plaintiff—lt was lent him to get a bed and breakfast. (Laughter.) Defendant—lt was not, but I do not wish to go into matters. His Honour—Ah : here is another billiard affair. Defendant—No; but I had rather not say anything. I came to London, stayed longer than I ought to have done, and— His Honour (finishing the sentence)—Spent money most foolishly. Verdict for plaintiff. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) LIVERPOOL, March 26. No change. About 4,000 bales. Imports, 6,434. Prtvioubly, 35,963. CAUTION TO BEER-SHOP KEEPERS.-Mr. Daniel Bard, the keeper of a beer-shop in High-street, St, Giles, attended to answer the complaint of the police for keeping his house open for the sale of beer before the hour of one on Sunday afternoon. Sergeant Matthews, 13 p, deposed that at half- past one on Sunday morning, the 15th inst., he went to the defen dant's house, and through a hole in the door he saw a man come down stairs and place two empty pots on the counter, and then put down some money. Immediately after the pots were handed back full of beer to the man, who took them upstairs. He (the sergeant) then knocked at the door, upon which the gas was turned off. A voice from within said "Who's there ?" and on replying " Police," he was admitted. On going into an upper room no ono was there but the potman, but on opening the door leading to a back staircase a quart pot and three measures fall of beer were found on the floor, and under the stairs and on the staircase five men. One of them had a quart measure full of beer in his hand, which he threw on the floor on seeing them (the sergeant and constable) The sergeant having been corrolcorrated by a constable the defendant called a witness, but his evidence in no re spect alter:d the complexion of the case. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs. INCREASE OP POCKET-PICKING AT THE REGENT CIRcus.—Jane Rivers, a well-dressed female, said to be a married woman, but who refused her address, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to pick ladies' pockets in Regent-circus. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the pri soner. From the evidence of Sergeant White, 16 D, it appeared that in consequence of numerous complaints of ladies hav ing their pockets picked at the Regent-circus, he was on duty there the previous afternoon, when seeing the prisoner in company with a woman whom he' knew as a convicted thief, he watched them, and saw two other women join them. He then saw the prisoner twice put her left hand into Mies' pockets, and seized her, upon which she said, "Don't show me up here; let me take your arm." He did so, and when in Cavendish-square, the prisoner said she would give him a sovereign she had in her pocket, and meet him at night and give bim what he wanted if he would let her go. He took her to the station, and on being searched a diamond hoop ring, three sovereigns, and £1 Os. 9d. in silver was found upon her. She refused her address. Mr. Beard said he could scarcely account for the priso ner's conduct, except that she had been I•.d away by others. The husband was a man of some means, and he (Mr. Beard) was instructed that the prisoner left her home in the morn ing in a passion, having had some words with her hus band. A NEW' CANDIDATE FOR, THE THRONE OF GREECE. Mr. Knox said he could hardy believe a woman in the prisoner's position would wear such a ring. Sergeant White said he thought it just prolable, from inquiries he had made, that ;he ring really belonged to ,he prisoner. Remanded. (From the Times.) The talents of the Coburgs have been conspicuous. King Leopold, the late Prince Consort, and the present Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha have been men much above the ordinary standard. They have had great opportunities, and have known Low to use them. Neither the Prince Consort nor the King of Portugal could, without offence, have taken a share in the politics of England and Portugal unless they had been gifted with much prudence and circum spection. No one who studies their history will believe that they and their kinsmen have merely had greatness thrust upon them. But, on the other hand, it cannot be doubted that they owe all to the excellent start which Prince Leopold's good fortune gave their house. Had it not been for the elevation of the young soldier to the highest station in Eng land, the Coburgs, instead of planting dynasties everywhere, might have been no more than any of the five•and-thirty German reigning families, or the multitude of Princely and Serene, but mediatised personages who are scattered through the land. But when Leopold became an English Prince, and his sister was the mother of the heiress presumptive to the British Throne, the path to greatness was open to the enterprise of the family. How much one success leads to another in princely life has been shown in their history, and we have adverted to it because, if report speaks true, another family, which a few years since, was of hardly more account in Europe, is at this moment entering on a similar career. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, whom poets are fabling to be a child of the Sea Kings, is the daughter of Prince Christian of the house of Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg-Glucksburg, who was himself but a few 'ears ago a long way from the succession to the Danish Crown. It was not until after the Battle cf Istedt and the reference of the Danish question to the great Powers, that the succession was settled on Prince Chris tian and his male heirs by the Treaty of May 8, 1852, and even after this there was so much dissatisfaction at the claim of Russia to succeed to a portion of the monarchy that the law was not finally settled until the summer of 1853, when Prince Christian and h s family received the title of Royal Highness. Thus, the Royalty or our Princess's f .mily is less than 10 years old, and cor responds more to a span-new Peerage than anything that we are accustomed to associate with continental monarchy. But see flow soon in these days e , grand posit'on may be achieved. We understand that the first result of the late auspicious marriage is that Prince William, brother to her Royal Highness, vii.l be recommended to the Greek nation for their King. The Prince is a little younger than Prince Alfred, having been born on the 24th Dec., 1845. He is also a sailor, which will, no doubt, be a re commendation to him in the eyes of so maritime a people. He is also a non Catholic, which is essen tial to the success of a ruler at Athens ; and being so young and closely connected with a Constitu tional Court there is every reason to believe that he may become a prudent and serviceable King. It is to be hoped that the Greeks will close with this offer, which is the best they are ever likely to re ceive, The brother of a prospective King of Den mark and of a Queen of England is a personage more illustrious than is likely soon to be proposed to a country which has so little to offer in return. Of cours, there is more than one personage to con , sult. So far as we can learn, the Prince's family and the British Government have consented to the recommendation, and we can hardly presume that the King of Denmark will offer any objection, un less it be on the ground that Prince William stands in the same relation to the Danish monarchy as Prince Alfred to that of England —that he is the second brother to the heir to the Throne, and may, perhaps, himself be called upon to govern. Bat this contingency ought not to stand in the way of Prince William's fortunes, for iu the case of Pzince Alfred it would certainly not have teen so strongly urged had there not been other weighty reasons which do not exist in the case of a Danish Prince. Nor can the other Powers of Europe have any f ult to find with the candidate whom the British Government will present for the choice of the Greek people. The Danish family is on the most friendly terms with the Czar, with whom it is connected by relationship not very re • mote; and France can have no reason for objecting to a Prince whose parent state can never be powerful enough; to exercise an inconvenient influet.ce in the Eist. As .to the Greeks themselves, they must be anxious to put an end to the present interregnum. The state of the country is at present one of anarce) —not anarchy in the worst sense of the word, but et a kind sufficiently dangerous to make all prudent men desirous of fitting the throne as soon as possible. The finances of the kingdom are in confusion, and must remain so as long as there is only a Provisional Government, without the power to enforce taxation or the reputation which can inspire confidence in tht minds of foreign capitalists. Alt hough the Govern ment has given very praiseworthy signs of a desire to economise, yet these savings can effect little unless the permanent ruler of the country be at once installed, and its institutions take the form which European Governments believe to be neces sary for national progress. In Prince William the Greeks will have a King almost as closely connected with English Royalty as Prince Alfred himself, and when they have elected him they will be in a posi tion to claim the fulfilment of England's promise to cede to them the lonian Islands. It would be strange if, with all these advantages, they should hesitate to approve the candidate whom the Eng lish nation presents to them. But there is another report, which, if true, com pletes the triumph of the Danish family. It is that the Princess D4gmar, who is now in her sixteenth year, is to be affianced to the Cesarewitch Nicholas, who is of about the same age. Such a series of events, which would place on thrones present or future four of the children of a Prince who, but a few years ago, was not even in the front rank of European personages, wou:d be certainly a singular instance of Fortune's favours. But it is thus that the goddess acts, and we may be glad that in this case her blessings would be showered on a family which all allow to be eminently worthy of the highest stations to which they may be called. THE MODES OF COLOURING GLASS.--We learn from further inspection and the comments of our guide that there are two methods of colouring the bub bles we see all around us. The ono is by using coloured " metal" entirely ; the other by " fiashing"—costing white glass with a thin film of colour only. All colours may be " flashed ;" red must be, because the colour ing matter used would render the glass blown entirely from red "metal," opaque. So in order to be in ducted into the mysteries of "flashing," we seek cut a workman who is about to Wow a red bubble. The process, we find, is very simple. Having gathered, upon the end of his blow-pipe, a ball of white metal, the operator, before carrying it to the " marver," g,ves it a twirl in a pot of red metal, and then goes on with his blowing. The two colours retain their relative positions throughout every succeeding process; as the one grows thinner and thinner the other grows thinner and thinner; and the final result is a sheet of white glass coated with red on one side. Passing on from one workman to another, we notice that though there are bubbles of every other colour, there are no yellow ones ; and u asking the reason, we are told that all the shades of yellow are produced, not out of ye'low metal, nor by flash ing, but by staining white glass.— Once a Week. EFFECT OF COLOUR ON DISEASE.-11e power of colours over diseases, once supposed to exist may be considered as a branch of sympathetic medicine. White substances were considered ro'rigerant, and red ones 'mating. Red flowers were given for diseases of the blood, and yellow ones for the bile. In small-pox, red coverings, bed-curtains, &c., were used to bring out the eruption. The patient was only to look at red substances, and his drink was coloured red. The physi. cian of Edward 11. treated the king's son successfully by this rule ; and, as lately as 1765, the Emperor Francis 1., when sick of the smallpox, was, by order of his phy si clans, rolled up in a scarlet cloth, but he died notwith standing. Flannel, nine times died blue, was used for glandular swellings. To this day the tradition, remains that ,;ertain colours are good for certain disorders, thousands of people believe that red flannel is better than white for rheumatism, A red string worn round the neck is a com mon preventive of 11900-bleed,--OM a Week. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PALL NT HOUSE OF LORDS--This Evening. The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour. POLAND. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY gave notice that he would, to-morrow, present a petition from a meeting lately held in the Guildhall on the subject of Poland. PETITIONS. Lord CHELMSFORD presented a petition from the in habitants of Bermuda complaining of the competition al lowed to exist with Cuban slave-grown sugar. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition from Toxteth against the sale of intoxica!ing liquors. The Archbishop of YORK presented several petitions from places in his dioc se. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY (NEW METROPO LITAN STATION) BILL. The motion for resuming the adjourned debate on this bill having been read. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he hal already spoken on this subject, but he thought the best speech tha could be made was to read the 17th section, in page 6, of Colonel / Yolland's :report. (' Hear, hear," from the Earl of Derby), He moved that the ball be read a second time that day six months. Earl GRANVILLE said it would be very unsatisfactory to postpone all the bills for the metropolitan railways till next session, because they would not be in a better position then than now. What he thought best was to have a committee appointed to inquire into all these bills, and report upon the general scheme of metropolitan railways, and point out what bills they thought ought to be passed and those that ought to stand over for their consideration next session. Earl GREY approved of such a course, as the sul ject could not be well considered this session, and ought not to be taken up with reference to bills by particular companies . The subject deserved a scientific consid. ration,such as it could not be expected a committee of the house could give it. The railway scheme of the metropolis ought to be under the super intendence of some public body like the Metropolitan Board of Works, who might let out particular portions of the work to existing or other railway companies. It was not for the house to appoint a committee, but the Government vi ere bound to accept the responsibility of introducing some general measure. In the meantime he did not think it would be safe to press any of the bills this session. The Du-,e of S iMERSET said the noble lord said that the Board of Work. were to settle the scheme of metropoli tan rails a; a, ma afterwards the public were to make them ; but he &heti d like to know whe.ner they would do so. He supported the proposal for a committee to report upon the general scheme, This would prevent any injustice being done to any particular line. The Earl of DERBY reminded the house th tt the ques tion under consideration was the second reading of the bill, Ample tiu e had been given since the first obj -ctions to the till, five weeks mg to enable the company to refute these obj, , cliorls, but no answer had been given. The case was left where it stood, and the report of C 1. Yolland substantiated every objection he (Lae Earl of Derby) had made to the bill. Not only w sit to run parallel to another line already sanctioned, and take up the open space in Finsbury-circus, but from the level at which it was to be brought in to the terminus-19 feet above the surface—it would be of no use 112 completing the M, tropolitan Railway, by which com munication with the north and south was to be effected. since the other schemes proposed had their terminus at Finsbury many feet below the surface. The object o: ap pointing a Royal Commission was not to lay down any particular principle for an intercommunication between all the railways north and south without changing car riages. After some further remarks the bill was thrown out. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock, NEW MEMBER. The Marquis of HARTINGTON took the oaths and his seat for North Lancashire. The nob:e lord was Introduc d by Mr. Grogan and Mr. Huggesson. THIRD READINGS.

DISEASES IN CATTLE AND SHEEP. Mr. HOLLAND gave n dice that after Easter he should move for leave to introduce a bill to amend the 11th and 12th Victoria, to prevent the spreading of contagious dis ,,ases among cattle and sheep. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT (WHITEHALL). Mr. DOULTON gave notice that after Easter he should call attention to the report of the Royal Commission with respect to the Thames Embankment between Whitehall and Palace-yard, with the view of proposing that it be con structed more in consonance with the architecture of the new public offices, and with a view to the proper accom modation of the traffic. POSTAGE. Mr. CAVE asked the Secretary to the Treaaury, whetber it was intended to abandon the principle of an uniform rate of postage to British possessions abroad, by doubling the charge upon letters to the British West India colonies, while reducing that upon letters conveyed by the same line of pickets to foreign countries, even at a greater distance; and, if to, for what reason ? place such a question upon the books. He had never heard of the proceedings referred to ; indeed, he did not believe that anything of the kind had ei:eurred. The SPEAKER explained that no member was entitled to engraft upon a question, statements;, or arguments, save auch as were requisite to elucidate tilt" question he desired to put. Probably no great question could be raised with respect to the use of the epithet' disloyal." (Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL denied most emphatically that the question had been framed or put in consent with him. (Hear, bear.) The other night the hon, member stated to him that he in tended to put such a question, and he told him, in reply, that it was his duty to answer any question that might be put to him by hon. members with respect to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) He had never acted as imputed, and most assuredly never would. Turning to the question, he said these disturb ances on March 10 were a matter ofpublie notoriety, but he could with reason affirm that those disturbances in two or three localities in any way justly represented publics opinion in Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It would, of course, be very unfair if the conduct of a handful of unruly people were to underweigh, to the very smallest extent, the general at tachment to the throne which prevailed among the great bulk of the Irish people. (Loud cheers.) lie had read in the papers that the I'riuco of Wales had, on the 10th instant, been burnt in effigy at Kilrush and " Ballingh." In 1861 he himself had been burnt in effigy—(laughter)--but on subsequently twice visiting this town be was treated with the greatest respect, not the slightest ill-feeling having been manifested. (Hear, and laughter.) It was a tact that the loyalty of Ireland wag sound at the core. In London or elsewhere it was easy to organise a few idle people to commit any absurd or unmean ing act, of of which really school boys would be ashamed. He was a witness of the loyal feelings with which the Sovereign was received in Ireland in 1861, and nothing could be more sincere or cordial. He was sure if the Prince of Wales and his bride were to visit Ireland they would receive as warm a welcome as in any other Tart of tha United Kingdom. (Cheers.) Mr. SCULLY apol gised for his aspersion on the right hon. baronet, and put a long string of questions tp him, in eff-ct—Did the right hon. baronet regard the recent demon strations at Cork and other places as expressions of dis loyalty towards the Qucen and the Prince of Wahlt ? lead any precautionary measures been taken ? had the students of Trinity College taken any part in the riots on the 10th: Was there such a place as " Bellina ?"

NORTHCOTE asked if the contract with the Royal Naval Steam Packet Company had been brought to an end ? Railway between Greenwich and Woolwich. Last night, at eight o'clock, a crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Greenwich was held at the Literary Institution in that town, to consider the proposition of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company to provide railway communi cation between Peckham, Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich. The chair was occupied by Cap tain Routh, and on the platform were Mr. W. Angerstein, M.P. ; Sir Cusack Roney, one of the directors ; and Mr. Holroyd, secretary of the company, with numerous influential residents of the locality. The CHAIRMAN at some length pointed out the great necessity which existed for railway commu nication between Greenwich and Woolwich and the peculiar advantages offered by the proposed line, which would pass through Greenwich Park by means of a tunnel, and therefore the objection previously mnde by the Admiralty, that the con stant transit of trains might injuriously affect the operations at the Royal Observatory, would be obviated.

William Cureton. George Green, a fireman, living in Dean-street, West minster, said he was passing the schools, which are situated in a very busy part of Westminster, where there is consi derable traffic, yesterday evening, and saw the prisoner and two other boys dragging the mat from the school-room door along Tothill-street. They had gone about a dozen yards when he stopped the prisoner, and gave him over to the custody of a policeman, the others escaping. The police intimated that it a remand were granted, they would no doubt be able to capture the other boys. Mr. Selte inquired whether the accused had been in cus tody before Denis, the gaoler, said he had not long since been charged with felony. At that time, also, he was in the company of some other boys. The prisoner denied that lee had been ";n trouble" be fore, and, as uual, said "the other boys did it."

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.- The Oxford crew got into their boat this morning at 20 minutes past 10 at the London Boat-house, and proceeded up at a great pace to row down with the tide. They went at about the same rate as before, and they did not appear to be working hard while they made their boat go exceedingly fast. The Cambridge crew were also out, but only took a little gentle exercise, as they intend pulling over the dis tance this afternoon. There appears to be some notion that the Careabs are not so competent to row the distance throughout as the Oxonians, but that remains to be seen. The hour at which they will start, and whether up or down the river, will be decided this even ng. We understand that Mr. Robert Bain, of Lambeth, has hired the Jupiter steam boat to accompany the race, and that it will leave London bridge at a quartar before seven, a.m,, calling at all piers up to Putney. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BILLIARD MATCHES —The selection of gentlemen to represent the Unmet - titles in these important encounters has been de , finitely arranged, although, as in the case of the boats' crews, not without considerable difficulty, It appears Mr. Stokes, the champion of last year, had been practising for the single match; but, at the eleventh hour, in conse quence of the failure of his sight, he has been compelled to give way to Mr. Ward, of Exeter College, the winner of the cue at Oxford, who a ill have as his partner Mr. Cham berlayne, of Magdalen College, the next best performer in the tournament. Cambridge will be represented by Messrs. Fayne (St. Peter's College) and Home (St. John's College), the former gentleman, who played last yea-, being selected f , r the single game. The matches will take place at eight o'clock on the evenings of Friday and Saturday next, the double game of 500 up on tha first evening, and the single o f 503 up on Saturday evening, at Mr. Roberts' large room, Saville House, Leicester •equaro, and we understand be marked, as before, by " Jonathan," whose services will be retained for both occasions. THE HEALTH OF GARIBLADI —A correspondent of the Siecle, writing from Turin on the 21st inst., says :—" Garibaldi's health engrosses us all hero ; it is ct.rtain that the alarming news which have been dissemi nated by several journals were exaggerated, but it is not less certain that his recovery is excessively slow, and that at this moment it makes no progress. I am told that the General intends to quit Caprera very shortly, and take up his abode on the main land. It would assuredly have been more prudent to recommend him to go to Naples or Sicily, by which means he would evidently have diminished his rheumatism. Caprera, situated in the midst of the Medi terranean, is naturally a damp place, where the mists of the sea accumulate. No wonder, therefore, that Garibaldi is always suffering from rheumatic pains. The foot ana the leg being still inflamed, the healing and the closing of the wouud are iraposeible. :I,IBER. \ i fi raid. Closing Business done.
