For a long time past affairs in this department have not been so quiet, and busi. 'less so limited as at present. Very few dealings are recorded, and Consols remain at 89;1 for money, and at 89& 90 for the account. The New Threes a nd Reduced Annuities are 891; Exchequer Bills, 4aren, 183. to 14s, die.; ditto June 15s. to ss. dis.; ! ° 2 dia 5 par C en t s ., 1041 ; Enfaced 4 per Cents., " 1 ; and the Bonds, 10s. dis. In the general Money Market affairs show no important change. The inquiry for money has been rather active, and the quotations, viz., 7-1- and 7 1, i per cent, f or t h e b est t h ree mont h s ' paper, h ave b een firmly ma i n t a i ne d. It was genera lly con . aidered probable that both the Bank of England a nd the brokers out of doors would have experienced a pressure for discounts, owing to the near approach °t the 4th of the month ; but this has not been the case, and the re f ore t h ere h as no t b een any f ur th er adv ance in th e t erms f or accommo d a ti on . r Il Aere was no alter a ti o n of importance in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. n The Germ an i a h as arr i ve d f rom N ew Y or k With .z 14,90 0.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, but prices have in most instances exhibited a downward movement.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there Is little change to record with regard to prices. For Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a moderate inquiry ; prices, however, have slightly given way.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. PARING ROBBERY FROM A DIVELLING•IIGUSE.—A decently dressed woman, who gave the name of Catherine Neal, was charged with stealing a quantity of wearing ap parel from the residence of Mr Clarke, 39, Store-street, B ed ford- square. From the evidence it appeared that some repairs were going on at the house of the prosecutor, for which reason the front door was occasionally left open. A few days ago, while Mr Clarke was sitting reading in his parlour, he saw the prisoner coming down stairs with a bundle and a silk umbrella under her arm. He asked her what she wanted there, and she replied, " It's all right; I have been to see madame on the second floor." Witness was dissatisfied with the statement, and requested the prisoner to wait till he had made some icquiry, bat she said she was in a great hurry, and ran out of the house. Witness followed her and gate her into custody, upon which she affected to be stupidly intoxicated, and incapable of explaining anything. The property was identified by Mrs Suerbrook, a lady re siding in the house, and was valued at £7. 1 he prisoner appealed to the lady to have mercy upon her for the sake of her dear children, and tried to get up a scene in court, but Sergeant Franklin, of the E division had an unfavourable remembrance of her past career, and Mr Vaughan committed her fur trial. A young man, a native of Prussia, named Heddeler, was placed at the bar charged with being found concealed in a house in Hanover-street. The prisoner was unable to speak a word of English, but through the aid of an interpreter it was discovered that he had been about three weeks in London, but that ho was labouring under a delusion that he was being constantly watched by the police, and he accounted for his being found in the house by saying that he went in and hid himself to escape the officer who was passing him. Mr Vaughan said it was a very unfortunate thing that an apparently respectable young man in such a condition should be left to roam about London, He thought if the Prussian consul was waited on he would send him Lack to his friends. A. constable was then despatched with Ileddeler to ascer :ain whether he would transmit the prisoner to his friends in Prussia, HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) Sixteen hundred and seven deaths were registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number of deaths for the 30th week of ten previous years, 1854-63, is, with correction for increase of population, 1,302. The mortality of last week was therefore very high, for it exceeded the estimated amount by about 300 deaths. The deaths in the four weeks of July successively were 1,268, 1,300, 1,399, and 1,607. The mean temperature of the air was in the same periods as follows---56•5 deg., 60 . 8 deg., 66'5 deg., and 63.6 deg. In the third week it was 5 deg. above the average, The summer heat hes produced the effect which always attends it in London. The deaths from diarrhoea were 81, 97, and 145 in the first three weeks of July, and i❑ the last week they rose to 274, Of the last number all except 21 occurred to infants. In the week that corresponded with last week in 1863 the deaths from diarrhoea were 233; in those of 1857 aid 1859 they were 302 and 382. Up to the present time the complaint has not been so prevalent or not so fatal as it was at the same period in two previous summers. Besides the cases referred to diaracel, 14 were re turned as caused by cholera, chiefly cholera infan turn. Two adults died of cholera. In the Kensington -town sub-district 11 deaths were recorded from diarrhoea ; in the Belgrave sub district 8, in the east and west sub districts of Islington 12 in each ; in St. Peter, Walworth, 7; in St. Paul's, Deptford, 8; in Marylebone there were 15 ; in Pancras 19 ; in Shoreditch 14; i❑ Bethnal-green 14 ; in Poplar 9. There were 79 deaths from measles, and 63 from scarlatina ; 14 of the former were in Bethnal-green, 11 of the latter in Westminster. A man, aged 55 years, died i❑ Mary's Hos pital, when under the influence of chloroform. A boy, aged 3 years, diod from sucking hot water from the spout of a tea kettle. A girl, aged 7 years, died of exhaustion consequent on eating im proper fish. _ _ - Among the street accidents that are so frequent in London, and some of which as terminating fatally are reported by the registrars almost every week, it is proper to mention the death of a deaf and dumb man who was killed by a fire engine. In the verdict of the coroner's jury it is stated that he was accidentally run over. A widow died at the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 1,011 boys and 940 girls, in all 1,951 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854 63 the average number (corrected) was 1,859. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.782:n. The reading fell to 29.59 in. on Monday, and rose to 30.03 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 63 . 6 deg,, which is 1.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher); the lowest night tem perature was 47.7 deg. on Wednesday; the highest day temperature was 82.2 deg. on Friday. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 34.5 deg. The mean daily range was 25'1 deg. The difference between the mean dew.point temperature and air temperature was 10.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 69, complete saturation be ing represented by 100. On two days the humidity was as low as 60. The wind blew from the south west. The amount of rain Wa3 0.13 in., all of which fell on Monday. The mean of the highest tempera tures of the water of the Thames was 66.9 deg.; that of the lowest was 64.9 deg. The deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Glatter, were 335 and 314 in the weeks ending the 16th and 23d of July, when the mean temperatures were 67.6 deg. and 64.7 deg., those at Greet wich having been 60.8 deg.-and 66 . 5 deg. The births registered in Dublin during the week ending the 30th of July were 140 (76 boys and 64 girls), and the deaths were 112 (31 males and 61 females) in a population of 251,808 (in 1861) spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. The Weather and the Crops. During the past week a general complaint has arisen in the corn-growing districts of Yorkshire that the wheat and oat crops are extensively invested with black lice. These appear in myriads in some places, and are said to prey exclusively upon the ears of the corn. The crops adjoining the-quickest hedges are the worst, the middle of the fields being comparatively free. It is supposed the lice have been generated owing to the lengthened drought, and considerable anxiety is felt by most farmers lest their presence may still more injure the crops, which are already estimated as being one-fourth lighter than last year, and are to some extent pre maturely ripening from want of rain. Indeed there is every reason to suppose that the harvest will be begun next week. There are some farmers who treat the lice trade lightly, and think the wheat crop will prove rather light, but very good in quality. Barley does not appear to be touched by this insect plague, but is generally spoken of as light, but promising in quality. Beaus and turnips have made no progress last week ; indeed, the latter are said to have gone back, and in some of the East Riding districts (where no rain worth mention has fallen this year) the crop has become so burnt up that the fields are being ploughed out for summer fellows for wheat sowing early in the autumn. This, of course, will cause a serious deficiency in the win.. teed supply of meat. The hay crop was never better secured, but now that the harvest is com pleted the yield is said to be only half the average. Hay is rising rapidly in price, and farmers are looking with anxiety to the prospects of scarcity, or at least dearness, of fodder in the coming winter. Another week of splendid sumtnee has passed, completing (says the Sussex Advertiser) a month such as is rarely witnessed in July. With the ex ception of a very few slight and partial showers, little or no rain has fallen throughout the month, and although during the past week there have been daily threaten tugs of a change in the weather and of coming rain, the menaced "fall" has ended in a mere few small drops, or has passed off in thick mist. Harvest has begun in various parts of the district upon a small scale, with wheat, peas, and barley. The warm suns of the past ten days have rapidly ripened the grain, and the only fear is, that the ripening process, owing to the long continued drought, will proceed at a rate that will bring the crops to maturity all at once. The reports from different quarters are somewhat conflicting, but looking to the accounts as a whole, there seems a pretty general agreement that on well farmed and good soils the crops will be very satis tory though not particularly heavy. On thin and light soils the effect of the protracted absence of moisture is eery injuriously felt, and premature ripening of the graiii is apprehended. At the same time we are bound to add that, from the statement placed at our command, the injury arising from the want of rain does not appear to have been so great as might have been anticipated. From the hop districts the accounts come extremely favourable. In spite of the absence of rain, the want of which is universally lamented by every correspondent, the bines seem,on all good and well-cultivated grounds, to have made considerable progress, and to be show ing plenty of fruit. Some good soaking showers are, say the planters, all that is wanted at this moment, and if these be followed by a fine time for picking, all will go right. Many planters declare that the picking will be early. The Railway Accident at Margate. MARGATE, Aug: 2. The railway accident which took place at the South• Eastern station here yesterday afternoon was of a more serious character than was at first appre hended. One passenger, the wife of a stonemason named Locke, died about an hour and a half after being extricated from the broken carriages. She was literally scalped, a great portion of the hair being found with her headdress among the rubbish. Both her thighs were fractured, and she had other bruises and contusions in different parts of her body. Another passenger, a gentleman residing at Favers ham, had two ribs fractured, and sustained other injuries; and two ladies belonging to Margate were fearfully crushed, but had no bones broken. Seve ral other persons were more or less contused and shaken. The accident resulted from the 2.20 p.m. train from London running into the station at full speed, and coming violently into collision with a short train waiting to be despatched to Ramsgate. The Ramsgate train consisted of on y three car riages —one first, one second, and one third clad --in which a number of passengers had taken their seats, while others were walking about the platform. Things were in this state when the London train was observed approaching at the rate, it is said, of fully 20 miles an hour. A cry of alarm was raised on the platform, and several of the pac sengers escaped death by jumping out of the stationary carriages. In a few seconds the advanc ing train dashed into the stationary one, jambing the three carriages against the fixed buffers, at the end of the station. The first and second class crrriages were forced up on their ends, and the third class carriage. which was first struck by tne force of the advancing engine, was thrown on the top of the other two, all three being broken and crushed into a shapeless mass. In one respect it was fortunate that the Ramsgate train was in the way, as otherwise the London train, to which very little damage was done, would have run into the waiting-rooms and booking office, and the destruc tion of life and property would have been immense. As soon as possible the unfortunate passengers were extricated from the debris of the carriages, and prompt measures were taken to clear the line. In the course of two hours the trains were received and despatched from the platform as usual. WESTMINSTER. EXEMPLARY DAUGHTER. AND MODEL SERVANT.— Elizabeth Carby, a girl 23 years of age, was charged under the following circumstances : Mrs Carly, the defendant's mother, a very creditable looking elderly woman, in widow's weeds, said that the de- fendant came to her house, at Chelsea, at half-past one this morning, and pulled violently at the ball. Complainant opened the window and inquired what she wanted, when defendant demanded some money, and because it was not immediately given her she demolished ten panes of glass. Mr Arnold—Does she live with you? Complainant—No, I should be afraid to let her. We all go in fear of her. She threatens both me and the children, and it is only a little while ago that she ran after one of them and threatened to cut her down with a chopper. Mr Arnold—How does she get her living ? Complainant—By service, when she pleases, but she is as bad in place as she used to be at home—she won't keep a situation. She has been in many excellent ones, but always leaves. She thinks nothing, if her mistress offends her, of taking up a jug, or anything;of that sort, and throwing it at her. When she leaves her situation she disposes of her clothes, and fre3h ones have to be purchased for her. Mr Arnold—Has this sort of conduct continued long ? Complainant—For something like five years, during which she has been the causo of great pain and trouble to me. She has been in the workhouse, where she broke the windows, and has also been twict, in prison. Nothing can exceed her violence of disposition. Mr Arnold (to defendant)—What do you say to the charge ? Defendant—l wanted something and she would not give it me. I hadn't had anything all the day. Mr Arnold--You are charged with breaking the windows. D3fendant —That's true. I broke them—l don't deny it, Why did not she give me something when I asked her ? Mr Arnold ordered her to find bail to keep the peace for :he next three months. Committed in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MAN CHARGED WITH SEVERAL VIOLENT ASSAULTS —John Cunningham, a rough fellow, who has several times been convicted for violent assaults, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with the following violent assaults : Mrs Emerton, wife of Mr Robert Emerton, of the Two Brewers, Little St. Andrew's-street, said that on the pre vious afternoon the prisoner entered the house and began abusing her husband, who was ill, in the vilest manner. She requested him to leave the house, and put her hand on his arm, when he turned round and seized her by the throat, and, but for the interference of her brother, she believed the prisoner would have strangled her. Her husband then gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, Mrs Emerton said the pri soner had been drinking in the house. Mr Henry Stephens, of .venue -terrace, Lewisham, brother of Mrs Emerton, proved seeing the prisoner seize his sister by the throat, and said that on releasing her he knocked him about a good deal, and made a great disturb ance. A female servant at the house said she had been with a boy to a place to get some sand and lime, and prisoner had been employed by the person where the articles were pur chased to load the truck, and therefore came to her master, thinking he had a claim upon him for doing so. The prisoner caught hold of her (wituess) by the throat and threw her down because she would not leave the truck. Police-constable Wright, 131 F, was called to the Two Brewers, where the prisoner was given into his charge for smutting several persons. The prisoner became very violent, and struck and kicked him, and swore he would have his life. The prisoner had been several times in cus tody far violent assaults. Rogers, 89 F, went to the assistance of the last witness, and was thrown down by the prisoner several times. The prisoner tried to bite him several times, and all the way to the station behaved in the most violent manner. There were the names of other persons who had been assaulted by the prisoner on the charge-sheet, but they were not called. The prisoner said he had some drink and it did him no good. Mr Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner lOs or 14 days for the assault on Mrs Emerton and the servant, and 5s or seven days for each of the other assaults. John Lamb, a labourer, was charged with assaulting Police-constable Reimers, 593 A. Reimers having been informed that the prisoner had been assaulting his wile in Waterloo-place went there, and saw the wife's face smothered in blood. He asked the wife whether she would charge her husband, but she &alined to do so. Prisoner then struck his wife again, and Reimers seeing the assault took him into custody, when the prisoner struck Reimers and became very violent. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month for each assault. The prisoner and his wife (the latter having been charged with disorderly conduct and discharged) were surprised at the result, the wife stating that she had not charged her husband with assaulting her. THAMES. MunnMons AssAt:LT.—Alexander Weir, a shipwright, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently assaulting his wife. Ambrose, a police-constable, No. 192 11, put in a medical certificate stating that the injured woman, Elizabeth Weir, was in the London Hospital suffering from injuries on the abdomen, and was in groat danger, Ambrose then pro ceeded to state that he was called into the house, No. 23, Leman-street, Whitcchapel, yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, and found the prisoner's wife lying on the first floor landing, at the top of the stairs. She complained of great pain; her hands were on her stomach, and she said that her husband had beaten her, and kicked her on the belly. She was immediately removed to the hospital. Mr Stoddart, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said the woman in the hospital was a person of very drunken and dissipated habits, and that she sold her husband's pro perty. She was intoxicated yesterday, struck her husband across the hand with a poker, and scratched his face. She was a bulky woman, and fell down on her face and hurt herself. Mr Pa g et remanded the prisoner for a week. Mr Stoddart asked the magistrate to take bail. Mr Paget—With this certificate before me I cannot take A DELICIOUS SUGGESTION,—It has been urged as a commercial question that honey is not now of the same importance as it was before the sugar-cane was discovered, and that gas has superseded wax candles. I am satisfied from many considerations that if people would eat honey at breakfast instead of rancid London butter and nasty greasy bacon, not only would their health be better, but their temper would be sweeter. I find invariably that people who like honey are persons of geklial and affectionate temper. If Mr Cobden and Mr Roebuck had only taken honey at breakfast, or a choice fragment of virgin honey at dessert, they would sever have given birth to those vinegar speeches which did them no credit. I wish somebody would send Mr Spurgeon a supper of good honey. Three months' diet on this celestial food would induce him to give up those shockingly bitter and unchristian tirades he has been making against the clergy of the Church of England. The producers of honey never draw their stings unless in defence of their homesteads, and the eaters and admirers of honey rarely indulge in acrimonious language. I believe a great deal of bad feeling is not moral or mental, but phy sical, in its origin. If you have in a congregation, or in a school, or in a convocation some one who sets everybody by the ears, treat him to a little honey at breakfast for six months, and the "thorn will blossom as the rose." People that can't eat honey—hunc tea caveto—they can't ever fit " a land overflowing with milk and honey.—Zheßconaseer in tilt? rims. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Aug. 2.—To some extent it appears the quietness recently prevalent in this market has been caused by an impression that the reported peace negotiations in America were not only well founded, but might lead to some settlement.

Mid Wales Railway Company. ---- The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street; Me. G. H. Whalley, M.P., i n th e chair. The report congratulated the shareholders on the completion of the line, which would be opened for public traffic so soon as the Government officer had inspected and approved it. The usual notice to the Board had been given, and it was expected the inspection would take place in the course of next week. The bill promoted by the company had passed into law. The report of Mr. B. Piercy, the engineer, stated that the line from Llanidloes to the junction with the Brecon and Merthyr Railway at Tall-y-llyn had been practically cam . pleted, and awaited inspection by the Government officer. Au arrangement had been made with the Hereford, Hay, and Brecon, and Brecon and Merthyr Railway Companies for the joint construction of the stations and works at the junctions with the railways of those companies at the Three Cocks and Tall-y-llyn, and it was therefore thought better to finish all those works before the Government In spector was requested to examine the line rather than to commence the traffic with less perfect ar rangement. The capital account showed that £810,641 had been received, and £807,999 ex pended, leaving a balance of £2,515. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the comple tion of the line. They had encountered many diffi culties in carrying out the undertaking, but it was needless to refer to them. Messrs. Watson and Overend were the contractors who had completed the line, and he was happy to say that no differences I had arisen between them and the Board. The directors had been successful in their applications to Parliament, and had obtained the powers sought. There were clauses conferring a conditionalexchange of running powers with other companies which he hoped would be mutually beneficial to all parties. Ho thought there was every reason to expect es good a teethe: on their line as that on the lines of other companies similarly situated. He believed they would derive considerable benefit from the through traffic. Mr J. WEREND said he had no doubt they would get their fair share of the through traffic. After some observations by Mr E. Parker and Capt. J ,Ay. Johns as to their particular desire being to keep on good terms with their neighbours, the report and statement of accounts were unanimously adopted, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, dhe " Stay bridge Infant" Charged with Cheating at Cards, At the Manchestee' City Police Court, yesterday, Samuel Hurst, the landlord of the Wilton Arms, Mayes-street, Sudehill, and who is know in pugilistic circles as the Stalybridge Infant, was summon:ad for allowing gambling in his house, and also for stealing £4l from Joseph John Kelly.—Mr Cobbett, for the complainant, said the charge against the defendant was that he stole money from the complainant Kelly by cheating him at cards. The police had also a summons against the defendant for permitting gaming in his house of an unlawful character. Kelly had carried on business in New Orleans, but two months ago he returned to this country, bringing money he had saved there. About three weeks ago he came to Manchester, and became acquainted with aMr Saqui. About 2 o'clock on the 25th July, at the invitation of a person named Henry, they went into the defendant's house. The complainant Kelly was induced by Hurst to play at cards, in the course of which some whiskey and water was brought in, which no doubt was drugged, for after drinking it Kelly became unconscious of what he was about, although still continu ing the gambling, in, the course of which Hurst got £4O of ' his. Saqui did all he possibly could to induce the complain ant to leave, but ho was in great difficulty, because a con siderable number of persons were present, the whole of whom were acting apparently in concert with Hurst. When Kelly had lost all his money, Saqui got him to his home, where he became excessively ill. When he re covered he had no recollection whatever of what took place in the house.—The complainant said about two o'clock in the day they entered the defendant's house. Saqui and Henry began to play at bagatelle, while Hurst talked with him about America, Henry then challenged any one present to toss for " glasses round." Hurst accepted the challenge and won. Afterwards Henry challenged any one to a game at all-fours, and ultimately Henry and the complainant played against Hurst and an other; subsequently the complainant and Saqui played against Hurst and another. During the second game the complainant drank a glass of whisky and became uncon scious. He believed he was drugged, and did not know anything that took place afterwards. When he went to the house ho hid £4l—when he recovered his conscious ness at night he felt very ill, but was sober, and found that he had lost all his money.—ln answer to Mr Roberts, who was for the defendant, complainant said that he never kept a gambling house;- he might have lost a dollar at a sitting at euchre, an American card game—he had lost 50 dollars in betting at roulette, on a race course. He had visited gaming houses. He had attended at a mock auction, in Manchester, to pass the time. He could not have been made drunk by the glass. of whisky—a pint of whisky would take no effect upon him, AS he had been in the habit of drinking it since he was a boy. In America he had drunk a pint of whisky before breakfast, and then been sober. He lived upon the interest of the money he had saved.—lnspector Taylor, of the detective police, said he went with Inspector Buckley and com plainant to the defendant, who was told that the complaint against him was that he had done complainant out of £ll, and had drugged him. Hurst merely said, " Well, what about Josian Saqui, an auctioneer, said, after the four-handed games at Hurst's, the latter sug gested to complainant that they should have a game to themselves, and complainant was so stupified by drink, that notwithstanding witness's caution he continued playing. They bet £1 on the cut, and Kelly generally cut a king or a ten whereas Hurst generally cut an ace, and won. Hurst then said that they should play for £2, and when com plainant placed that amount down, Hurst asked to make it £3, then Xi, and then £5, for which they played, and Hurst won. Witness at one time asked where the aces were as he had not seen them lately, and then took the pack, and counting them, found there were only 48 cards. He asked defendant if he considered it fair to play with a man who was almost insensible with 48 cards. Defendant told him to mind his own business. A new pack was called for, and they then played for £lO a game. At last, when complainant had lost all his money witness took him home. In cross-examination, witness admitted that he conducted a mock auction. Hurst was the winner throughout except of one trifling game. The play was finished about six o'clock. Hyman Mysell, a tra veller, living in Miller's-lane, said he was at Hurst's, but the waiter would not allow anybody to stand at the table. When it was Hurst's deal he would keep six cards in his hand, which after the pack was shuffled and cut, he put on the top of the pack and dealt them. After complainant and Saqui left, witness said he thought he was entitled to a little of the robbery and he was given a glass of liquor. The defence was that the complainant was a free agent with his money, and that there was no evidence of the drugging, or it was asked how was it no one else was drugged, but the man who lost the money. Complainant lost his money as money was lost, without any unfair dealing on the part of the defendant.—William Brown, a pugilist, William Frost, a warehouseman, who had been tried upon the complaint of the defendant for stealing lead and acquitted ; James Coyne, of Wolverhampton, who had come to Manchester for a sparring benefit, and Chris topher Colman, a warehouseman of Tib-street, who assisted at the sparring benefit were examined for the defendant. They said that the complainant exhibited en the occasion no appearance of having been drugged, and that the play was fair, Mr C. J. S. Walker said the magistrates did not think it would be of any use to send the case before a jury, but they would fine Hurst £5 for allowing gambling in his .house, and would desire the police to represent his case to the magistrates on the licensing day, SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON', Aug. 3.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly ; moderate breeze and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

THE YELVERTON CASE.--A telegram having reached Belleisi: on Thursday evening, announcing that the decision on tlto celebrated Yelverton case had been given in favour of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the people of the locality erected an ea of mous bonfire to express their pleasure at the good news conveyed to Lord Avonmoro's family, who are much respecteal and liked in the neigh bourhood. His lordship, who was accompanied by General Lyons, Mrs Lyons, and several other ladies, came out and thanked the people heartily for this token of their good. will towards himself and his family. The tremendous cheering which greeted these remarks made the welkin ring, and long life and good health warn invoked on his lordship and every member of his family, individually sad collectively. When the cheering had somewhat subsided, General Lyons, iu a very appropriate speech, returned thanks for the warmth of feeling manifested by the people, and the true judgment and good taste which were displayed in expressieg it. The trial which had just been brought to such a happy issue for Lord Avonmoro's family was not one in which a hasty decision had been given. No ; every fea ture and circumstance of that extraordinary case had been sifted to the very bottom by the wisest heads of the three kingdoms. For four long years the eyes of the civilised world had been looking on it with interest, and, now that judgment had been given, it could not be said by any that that judgment was not a righteous one, and ho felt assured that it was one which met the approval of every Irishman whose heart was in the right place. The general, who was repeatedly interrupted by deafening cheers, con cluded his address by wishing health and happiness to all assembled. Dancing was then begun to the strains of bagpipe, and all joined the merry ring, which was kept up with spitit till after midnight, General Lyons and the ladies mixing freely with the people. Refreshments were supplied by order of Lord Avonmore.—Nenagh Guardian.

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP JACKAL On Wednesday afternoon while her Majesty's ship Jackal, Lieut.

Th e leak stopping during the night, on Thursday the Jackal proceeded to Greenock, and was secured in the basin of Messrs. Laird and Co., preparatory to being docked.

The workmen were raising an enormous iron girder, sixty-eight feet in length, and weighing fourteen tons. When about twelve feet high, the chain of the crab by which it was being hoisted snapped in three places, and fell with a great crash, the workmen flying in all directions. One man, named Jones, jumped cff into the road from the top of the girder. The centre lodged on some thick piles of timber at the base of the derrick. The other end rested on the kerb, on the south side, where the men were at work. As soon as possible Sergeant Hurst E ELL, and Sergeant Trim, of the City police, with a body of con stables, rescued James Peach, aged 50 years, with a frac.. tured skull; Samuel Coppoek, aged 44 y ears; and John Ryall, all severely injured. Cabs being procured, they were removed to St. Bartholomew' s Hospital, where th ey now remain in a dangerous con dition. ATTEMPTED caused —OnMonday some o W m l e F El‘ excitementlu t w nElt I a N C was e ke • ford-street, Clerkenwell, in consequence of loud cr i es of "Murder" and Help" proceeding from the house num bered 341 in that street. On the police entering the house, they found upon the ground, in a pool o f bl ood, the wile of E a gold polisher named Elias John Roland. Th e unfor tunate woman was in an insensible st a t e , an d i t was a t first though t that life was extinct. A medical gentleman was called in, and finding that the female w as not dead advised her instant removal to the Royal Free Hospital, which was done, and she was received by Mr John D. Hill , the resident medical officer of the institution, who placed her under care of Mr Wakley ' the house surgeon f or t h e week. Upon exam i n i ng t h e poor creature those gentlemen found an incised wound on the top of the head. The skull was also fractured at the point of the wound. There were also two other contused wounds on the head, evidently inflicted with some blunt instrument. There was also a wound on the right arm, and one a little larger on the left arm, showing that the instrument employed had been used several times and with great force upon the person of the unfortunate woman. The wounds on the head having been dressed and proper stimulants administered, the poor creature became some what conscious, and gave to the medical men and Inspector Allen the following particulars of the affair : —About half past 4 o'clock in the afternoon her husband came to her and asked for some money, which she re fused to give him, when he took up a chopper which was in the room, and struck her on the head, knocking her down and rendeting her insensible. The husband was at once taken into cus tody, and was charged at the Clerkenwell Police Court, ye3terday twining, with feloniously cutting a n d w ounding his wife, Ann Roland, by strising her on the head with an axe, whereby her life WAS in danger.
