The number of prisoners for trial is 87—namely, 77 males and 10 females, and it is satisfactory to find that there are not many very heinous cases to be disposed of. The calendar does not contain a single charge of wilful murder, and the most serious charge of this character is that against a prisoner named Thomas Holland, of endeavouring to murder his child, a little girl, six years of age, by throwing her into the river Thames at Bankside. A lad, named Timothy Keefe, is also charged with attempting to commit murder by shooting. There are two or three charges of manslaughter, and amongst them is the one against a man named James Brooks, in having caused the death of Lieut. Bullock, at Hammer smith, under rather extraordinary circumstances, by driving a horse and cart over him. There is also another Fenian case to be disposed of at this ses sion, that of the man Peter Moran, or Morgan, who is committed for inducing a number of sol diers to desert from their regiment and join the so called Fenian army. Among the other cases that will have to be disposed of is the charge against Mr. Robert Short Waters, formerly steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, who stands charged upon several indictments with having embezzled very large sums of money belonging to the noble earl, and which he had received in his capacity of steward. The case has been standing over for a period of more than two years, and the order originally made by the Court was that the charge of embezzlement should not be tried until proceedings had been taken in Chancery by the defendant Waters, and which involved an inquiry into the state of the accounts be tween the parties, should have been disposed of, and a decree made declaring on which side the balance was really due, the defendant Waters claiming by his bill to be entitled to receive a large sum of money from the Earl of Shaftesbury, instead of having embezzled any from him. The defen dant, however, at the December session made an application that the trial should take place, alleging that although no decree had been made the proceedings in Chancery were virtually con cluded, as he had no means to carry them on any longer, and Mr. Justice Shee, to whom the appli cation was made, made a peremptory order that the trial should come on at the ensuing May session. The judges who preside are the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Willes, and Mr. Baron Channell, and the aldermen who will sit as second commissioners are Messrs. Wilson, Sidney, Carden, Hale, Besley, and Cotton. MARKETS. —(This Day.) CORN. The fine weather, and the favourable appearance of the growing crop, although too early to advert upon with any certainty, are not without some influence on the trade, increasing the caution on the part of buyers, and render ing factors rather easier to deal with. From the country markets the reports speak of a dull ness in the trade, with quotations here and there a shade easier for wheat, spring corn remaining,steady. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was fair, but the trade opened with rather loss strength in quotations; but without any very marked alteration. English wheat was not in large supply, but was perhaps easier in price. Sales of foreign not pressed, but late rates barely sus tained. The number of floating cargoes of wheat off the coast is reduced to 28, and these aro firmly held, the addition advised from shipping ports to the numbers now on pass ing being small. The flour trade is dull, buyers have the turn of prices in their favour for both English and foreign. No quotable change in malt, and the trade inactive. Barley in limited supply, and relatively firm, with a fair inquiry. Beans a quiet sale at about late rates. Peas not quoted at any appreciable change. Oats are purchased more sparingly, and aro the turn easier. _ _ ----- Oilseeds continue dull of sale. Oilcake quiet, with drooping prices. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. MEAT.--On Saturday the supplies of meat were iu excess of demand, and, with lower prices, a good deal of meat was left unsold. This morning there is very little fresh meat up, and the weather not being quite so close, trade is rather more cheerful, but hardly to eStabliSh any better Prices. We quote beef, prime, 4s to 4s 2d ; middling, 3s 8d to 3s 10d; inferior, 33 4d to 3s CI. Mutton, prime, 4s to 4s 4d ; second qualities, 3s 8d to 3s 10d ; good, 3s 4d to 3s Bd. Veal, 3s 4d to 4s 8d ; pork, 4s 44 to 4s 8d ; lamb, 5s 8d per stone of 81bs by the carcase. POULTRY. The market is very firm for good fresh supplies, which are short. Fowl are very dear. Other poultry without much alteration. We quote—Surrey fowls, is to 103 ; chickens, 4s to 5s ; Essex fowl; 3s 6d to 4s 6d; Irish, best, 3s to Be 6d each; rabbits, tame, is 6d to 2s; duck lings, 3s to 3s 6d ; goslings, 5s 6cl to 686 d each. EGGS remain without quotable change. BOROUGH HOP. Messrs. Henry Turnbull and Co. report there continues a fair demand for the better sorts of new English and foreign hops, and prices are firmly supported. In some instances coloury Sussex make more money. Other sorts rule dull, at uneven quotations. The general reports from the Continental markets are better, and there is a fair inquiry, at fully late prices. New York advices are more encouraging. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Tho supply of beasts was rather shorter than last week, the number of sheep and lambs were about on a par. The accounts of last week's dead meat markets made butchers cautious, but reports of the dead meat trade being rather more cheerful this morning salesmen were not inclined to give way, and trade was consequently slow. Of beasts there were 160 from Scotland, 2,217 from various parts of Eng Lind, nil from Ireland, and 1,093 from the Continent. The beef trade ruled dull, and foreign stock ;were in popr supply, prices were lower. Of sheep and lambs the supplies were 5,090 from abroad. COTTON. . LIVERPOOL, May 4.—Sales probably 15,000 bales. Mar ket firm and advancing. The Emperor and Empress of the French have promised to visit Orleans on the 9th inst., to be present at the Agricultural Show. Some say that their Majesties have another object in view, vlz., that of endeavouring to conciliate the famous bishop of that diocese. pm., 108} PILEI'`.EItEANCII; SAARES.

We have been favoured with the following extract from a private letter from Dr. Livingstone to a gentleman in Bombay. It is dated March 2, 1867, and was written at Bembo :--" I have been unable to send anything to the coast since I left it till now, and have heard nothing•from the coast We have been very long in our progress hither, but I think we are now on the watershed between the Zambesi and Isapula, which flows, as report says, into Lake Tanganyika. I have only nine of a fol lowing, but hope to get on in time, and do what I have undertaken. In some parts we had plenty of meat ; I could easily supply the pot with my rifle. In other parts nothing could be procured, and we had to go on as best we could. It was the rainy season, and we had a long trudge through dripping forests, with the soil often so sloppy the feet were constantly wet. This was made worse by want of food, not of fine dishes, but of even a little porridge. The people could not sell grain ; their were subsisting themselves on mushrooms, which are very good as catsup, but wretched watery food, producing vivid visions of the roast beef of bygone days. Now we have come to a land where food is to be bought, and we mean to rest a little. When we get to Tanganyika Lake we hope for news, and to find a second supply of goods. I shall write to you from thence. Tell that his dog turned out a famous one, and I was never so sorry for any animal as when we lately lost him. He had more spirit than fifty country dogs, and as soon as we got a hut in the village be kept it clear of all curs, and never stole himself. He.was as much of an attraction as the white man himself, He took charge of the whole line of march, and was so spirited he went at anything. This is how we lost him : we had to wade a marsh, a mile wide and waist deep —a peaty bottom, with holes made by buffa loes' feet, which made us all flounder. I went first and forgot the poor doggie. He must have swam among the boys, each one minding himself, till he was drowned ; no one noticed him. lam unable to write to Dr. Wilson, though I ought to do so, but the slave trader will not give me more time. I consumed Mrs. —'s extract of meat from real gnawing hunger, and found it excellent. I have lost all my medicines—the sorest loss of goods I ever sus tained. You will excuse my brevity. The slavery party leaves, and I must write several letters. Blessings from the Highest be on you all, my dear friends.—DAviD LIVINGSTONE."—Times of India, April 11. INDIA. Intelligence from Bombay up to the 11th April supplies the following, taken from the Times of India : The date of the latest message fronvGreat Britain by the Indo-European Telegraph is the 30th March. The com munication between Gwadur and Mussendore still has to be carried on by steam vessels. Major Alexander Carnegie, Bombay Staff Corps, has been appointed Az..!stant Adjutant-General of the Bombay Army. The Rajah of Mysore is dead, and his adopted son has been proclaimed his successor. Mr. Mackintosh Balfour, of the Agra Bank, has been appointed secretary and treasurer of the new Bank of Bombay. A petition to rtrliament praying that the order for the enhanced rates of Indian postage may he rescinded, is to be presented on behalf of the Madras Chamber of Com merce. • At a meeting of the Commercial, Financial, and Stock Exchange Corporation, held in Bombay on the 4th April, the report presented by the liquidators showed that the liquidation was proceeding satisfactorily. It is proposed by the Governor and the leading gentle men of Bombay to hold an Exhibition in Bombay, in January 1869, on a large scale. An accident happened to a goods train on the Great' Indian Peninsula Railway, at Tama, near Bombay, on the sth instant. The train ran off the metals, and for a day or two the traffic had to be carried ever a single line. The damage dime amounted to over 210,000. Mr. Cowasjee Jehangirjee Rea,dymoney, of Bombay, has offered the Government £5,000 towards the expense of erecting a lunatic asylum at Hydrabad, in Sind. Mr. G. Turnbull, late chief engineer of the East India Railway, is to inspect the Great Indian Peninsula line, and report on its defects. Mehed-Ood-deen Khan, of the Loharoo Chief's family, has been arrested in Delhi for complicity in the rebellion of 1857. Mr. Mark Fryar, a practical mining engineer, has been appointed to the newly-created office of mining geolog,L.4t in India. The application to the Bombay High Court made by the liquidators of the Alliance Bank, for an order requiring all contributories to the company to send in their claims for dividend before a certain day, has been refused by Mr. Justice Westropp, who had a doubt whether the court had any power to say that a shareholder should be so debarred. The unclaimed dividends could be deposited by the liqui dators with the Accountant• General. THE BISHOPRIC OF NEW ZEALAND.—The Bishop of Lichfield intends leaving England for the distant diocese of New Zealand, of which he still holds the epis- copal supervision, on the 2nd of July. CONSERVATISM IN ESSEX. —A great meeting of the friqnds and supporters, of the Conservative cause is to be held in the theatve, .Colebester, on the 13th inst. Mr. E. K. Karslake,: Q.C., oue of the sitting Members ; Colonel Learmonth, who will be a candidate at the next election ; Mr. R. N. Fowler, .and Mr. W. T. Charley, will address the meeting. A letter from Rome says :—" Lady Herbert has recovered from a severe attack of Roman fever, which for some weeks prostrated her that on Easter Sunday her life was despaired of. Although still very weak, her lady ship is up and convalescent. The illness is attributed to Lady Herbert's too assiduous attendance at the bedside of a friend who succumbed to the same malady." DEATH OF DUIYAGER LADY WENLOCK.—WO haTO to announce the death of the Dowager Lady Wenlock, who expired at an early hour on Saturday morning at the family residence in Berkeley-square. The lamented lady was the youngest daughter of Richard, second Lord Bray. Brooke, by his wife Catherine, youngest daughter of the Right Hon. George Grenville, and was horn October 6, 1792, and married, May 10,1517, the late Paul Beilby, first Lord Wenlock, by whom she leaves issue the present Lord Wenlock and three other sons, and a daughter, the Hon. Jane, married to the Right Hon. James Archibald Stuart Wortley. Contradictory as are the reports from the seat of war in Central South America, there can be no doubt that it is rapidly drawing to a close. This final stage reminds us very forcibly of the close of the civil war in the United States three years ago. There is t'se same heroic and desperate tenacity on the part of the losing side, the same slow but steady advance on the part of the winners. Wonderful feats of valour performed by forlorn hopes skew how brave the Paraguayans are, and how dauntless a leader they have in Lopez. But even invincible cowage will not avail against overwhelm ing numbers, and the Paraguayans have long been making 10,000 men do the work of 100,000. One by one their strong places have fallen. They are still fighting ; deter mined, it would seem, to "die in the last ditch." Cura paity has been captured ; by t:iis time Humaita—the Vicksburg of the Paraguay, has no doubt fallen, and we may expect to hear in a snail or two that Lopez has either surrendered, or has been captured, or is dead. - Cain.

The correspondent of the Post at Rome writes : " A striking instance of a purely religious vocation in its most austere monastic form is afforded by the withdraw ing from the brilliant existence of a fashionable London life adopted by the Hon. G.

This was a suit for dissolution of marriage brought by the guardian of the petitioner, Robert Cyril Frederick Holmes, a yoang gentleman' ncw not 18 years of age, with Laura Simons. Mr. Coleridge was for the petitioner, and Mr. Denman for the respondent. It app2ared that Mr. Holmes was a young gen tletnatt living at Kithiiing,ton, Oxfordshire, and at the time of the marriage was but 15 years of age; and the respondent, Laura Simone, was the nursery governess in his Mother's family, aged 25. The marriage was performed before the registrar, and the nullity of the cere mony was asked on •the ground that the correct names of the parties had not been given in the mar riage notices. 1 The petitioner, in his examination, said—l shal be turned 17 years of age next month. lam now living at Madeline, in Herefordshire. I came home front school at Christmas, 1865, and remained there till My mother died. Miss Larva Simons first came into my mother's service in 1865- as nursery governess. She had the sole charge of my younger sisters and brother, and had the full care of the linen. I became somewhat attached to Miss Simons, when my mother spke to me -about.the matter. I told her there was nothing, and she replied she hoped there was not. My mother died. Shortly after this I and Miss Simons were thrown much more together, and finally I askel her to be my wife. I was then nearly 16 years of age. She consented, and it was proposed to be married at a registry-office in Oxford, and, having been there, she said it could not be done, but that a notice would require to be put up in the little office, but that no person would see it. She told me I should have to swear that I had the consent of my guardians. We arranged before we went to the register office that my age was to be stated at 19. In fact that I was to say it was. Miss Simons, I think, must have known:my real age, as she had access to the family bible ; she knew I was at school before I came home at Christ- mas. It was settled that I wacs to sign the book Frederick Holmes, and she Laura Simons. I can't say there was any talk about my other names " Robins Cyril." • She had care of my linen when I came from school. Most of it was marked, but she must have known my name way Mr. Coleridge—Did she take the chief part in the marriage arrangements ? Witness—lt was arranged generally between us. Mr. - Coleridge—What did you tell the untruths to the registrar for ? Witness—Because I thought if he knew my right age he would not marry us. As we were going to be married we met Mr. Groggs, and he asked us what we were doing in Oxford-street, and I said shopping. I lived with Miss Simons after the marriage until we were separated by the Court of Chancery. By Mr. Denman—My mother appeared to like Miss Simons. I never heard mother say that after her death I was to look to Miss Simons for protec tion. I don't think I know the exact meaning of perjur). The respondent told me she was twenty one. My common name at home was " Frederick." I gave Miss Simons a copy of a Song, " Hope told a flattering tale." I signed it " Frederick Holmes." I thought if I said I was but 16 the registrar would not marry us. After some further evidence, judgment was dl rerred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS D.ll'. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK ON THE POLlCE.—Elward Murray, A carpenter, living in Newport-court, and Joseph Dounney, of Berwick-street, St. James's, bootmaker, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, the first-named with being drunk and causing a crowd of persons to assemble in Little 'Windmill-street, and assaulting Charles Squire, 166 C, and the last named with attempting to rescue Murray from custody, and with assaulting police-constable Tyler 164 C. • After some evidence had been given in support of the charge, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt about the case, and fined the prisoners £5 or a mouth each. WESTMINSTER. A MODERN " JACK SHEPHERD." --John Shepherd, a decently dressed boy about 12 years of age, was charged with stealing a money-box containing silver and bronze, the monies of Mrs. Murray, 3 1 ) Pelham-street, Brompton. Prosecutrix said that on Saturday she engaged prisoner, who lodged in the same house, to clean her room, and she having occasion to go down stair, came up quickly and saw the prisoner put his hands hurriedly into the pail he was washing _n. She questioned him about it, and he said he wanted to get his work done quickly so as to get out of his father's way, as he had been out all the week. He had before stolen 2s. and it was look :1d over. She locked the door, and in a few hours returned home and then found the box and money were gone. Prisoner could not be found anywhere till two on Sunday, when he was found in the coal cellar. Mr. Selfe—Now, Jack Shepperd, what have you to say ? Prisoner—l know nothing about it ; I only had 4d. Mrs. Murray gave me for doing the room. A lad was called to show that he was in posses sion of a large sum of money, but his evidence failed ; and a female lodger said he was a thief, and indulged in such vituperative language against the prisoner that it was very evident he had no friends in the house. Elizabeth Shepherd, the mother, uridertook to produce him next Monday, and Mr. &Ile ordered his liberation till then. The mother said. the boy would du well were it not that all the other lodgers abused him and called him a thief and other names. Remanded till this day week. Foreign Mail Packet List► MAILS DUE.

This bankrupt was the well-known dramatic and burlesque author, and to-day was appointed kir the last examination and order of discharge. It will be remembered that the bankrupt had taken three theatres in Liverpool, and in consequence of the great depression in trade there the speculation was a failure. There being no opposition, the order of discharge was granted. SPORTING NOTES. Mr. Topham's programme put forth for Tuesday and the three following days exactly resembles those issued last year and the year before, being mainly made up of insignificant handicaps, nearly the same horses being engaged in each. After the opening day we must not look for large fields, be cause a strong light will be thrown on the after • events by the running of Tuesday, when the Eaton Plate will be the most interesting of the eight races on the list. Out-and-Outer has a 101 b penalty which extinguishes his chance. Sir Oliver and Huntsman appear to me to have the race between them, and I prefer them in the order named. As Blinkhoolie will be reserved for the Great Northern Ilan:heap the Welter Cup seems at the mercy of Rabbit 'reap and Three per Cent. Diadem or Milton shouLl win the CheAerlield Stakes ; Bagpipes • the Mostyn Stakes ; and Grand Cross or the Corporal tie Wynnstay Stakes. S datnauca and CLar have the Palatine Stakes be tween them ; th.; pair, however, b,:ing worth c at siderably more than the su.n for which they are entered to be sold (£200). •Oa Wednesday the Cup will be ran fur, and towards the close the betting may be of a more spirited character than it has heea during the past few days. The run upon Paul Jones seems to have paralysed speculation in other directions, and it is said that some of those who hold positions in the quotations now will, be pulled out of his way when Mr—Hodgman and other owners have an opportunity of laying their heads together. The most notable withdrawals up to the present time have been those of Weather Star, Owain Glyndwr, and Beeswiug, and there has been little " milking" in connection with the race, the Shiffnal pair—Grey Stocking and See-Saw —being all .that the book-makers have shown themselves disposed to take liberties with. There will perhaps be 15 Or 16 Starters, selected from the following : Ago st lb Beauty ... 3 613 The Priest ... 4 6 12 Nelaton ... 4 6 11 'Deceit ... 4 6 8 g4rcury 3 6 6 Btradbroke ... 4 6 4 Paul Juues... ... 3 6 1 Scotchinan's Pride 3 6 0 Viscount 3 511 Landscape... ... 3 511 Ago at lb Strathconan 5 8 12 Dalby ... a. 8 '8 Goodwood... ... 4 8 4 Fervacques ... 4 8 0 caithuess ... 5 7 13 Abergeldie Wur •.• Bracken ... -. 5 7 ... 5 7 ... 4 7 Saville 4 7 2 Palisade ... 4 7 0 Treasure Trove ... 5 6 13 Strathconan is talked of as a certain runner, and if he strips in the form he showed at this time last year he will be highly dangerous. Those connected with Bracken may mean business with Fervacques, but after his recent French form the latter can have no chance, and with Bst 41b I cannot have Good wood, who is of an uncertain temperament, and not always in a trying humour. Ile will stay every yard of the journey, and the same may be said of Dalby, the movements with regard to whom have been of a most mysterious character during the past few days. He may help to pave the way for Paul Jones by keeping out of the competition, and if Mr. Stephenson really means what he says with re gard to Stradbroko, it will be no use thinking of Caithness, who does not read so well as Dalby upon the Liverpool autumn forui. Strad broke performed indifferently in the City and Su burban race, but he had an inflamed eye and other ailments at the time, while how he is all right, has been tried to stay, and has his owner's money at his back. If Abergeldie can only stay, it is impossible to think of; a better representative from among the old ones, and it may be mentioned that he has been supported by the proper parties, who usually have pod grounds for their investments. War must be inferior to his stable companion, Viscount, at the weights; and I am assured that but short adds will be laid against the latter after he has been seen. The only time he ran last year was when he was not fit, but he has for the race under discussion received a good preparation at Whitewall, and it remains to be seen if he is the racer represented. Something won derful has been discovered about Seville since she left Dauebury for Newmarket—at least the touts and wiseacres at headquarters say so—and that they have believers is evident from the price she has been brought to. Abergeldie apparently holds all the middle-weighted old ones safe, and I cannot en rol myself among the partisans of Treasure Trove, who has often carried his owner's money, and a good way from the winning post, since he won the Lincolnshire Handicap and the Great Metropolitan as a three year old. The bookmakers have specu lated ag dust The Priest too much to please me, but Deceit has all along been backed for genuine money and I am disposed to think that there is s.miething worth knowing about the Iloly well horse who has maintained a position in the quotations ever since the weights appeared. No doubt be is better than his public form makes him out, and he is well worth the consideration of place betters. Beauty must possess .a chance with all her weight, and there is encouragement to bask her on the First Spring running of Athena, who was defeated by her at Northampton. At Lewes last year Paul Jones gave her 101 b. and a beating; and with 221 b. the best of the weights, Mr. llodgman's colt seems bound to repeat the trick, especially as he has been ascertained to be in rare form, and some 211 b. supe rior to Mariner, the winner of the Northampton shire Stakes a week or two back. The winner I expect will be PAUL JUNES, and next to the latter I fancy Stradbroke, Aber geldie, and Deceit. The other events are so de pendent on previous running that it is not worth while referring to them. A FRESH MAN. PROGRAMAIE OF CHESTER MEETING, TUESDAT, May 5.

DOVER, Saturday Morning. This morning the prisoner was brought up for examination before the magistrates charged with the murder of Mr. Edward Alfred Walsh. From the evidence it appeared that Wells has been employed at the Priory station for about 18 months, but his conduct had not given satisfaction, and Mr. Walsh found it necessary on several occasions to re primand him. His particular misconduct—which led to such a murderous act of revenge —was prac tising with a firearm on the station premises. Ho denied thathe had done so in a very barefaced manner, and was cautioned by the deceased as to the public con - sequences of his persisting in a foolish denial, which only aggravated the original offence. This was on Tursday, and on Friday he was again called into the office, but as he exhibited no signs of a desire to admit his misconduct and express regret, Mr. Walsh threatened to report him. On Thursday Wells had been heard to threaten to "do for the —" (meaning the station master), and after the interview on Friday he appears to have gone and fetched his gun from the place where he bad been practising, and then returned to the station master's office. He 16oked in at the window, saw that Mr. Walsh was in the office, then went to the half-opened door, raised the gun to his shoulder, and fired at Mr. Walsh. That unfortunate gentle man, at this moment, was standing with his back to the fireplace, dictating to Mr. H. Cox, the company's customs and goods agent, who sat at the office table, a letter to Mr. Martin, the superintendent of the Eastern Division of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway line, reporting the misconduct of the porter in question. The office is a very small room, and at the time it was fired the muzzle of the gun could not .have been more than a couple of yards from the person at whom it was directed. Its aim was only too sure. The bullet, of what is called the Minis shape, struck Mr. Walsh in the face, a little to the left of the brid g e of the nose, and passed through the head striking tbo wall beyond, taking with portion of the skull of the deceased, and then rebounding ou to the Death was glht through the b table at which Mr. Coxwaswr it a itinrgi in stantaneousraina ndte , a the g a b la uvll)e,ta portion of the face. Thepri soner was found iu an empty second-class coach in the carriage-shed, outs ide the station. He had the gun b etween his knees when he was discove re d and, on the door being opened, he q u i e tl y h anded out the weapon. The examination was adjourned. The aggregate number of i patients relieved at the Metropolitan Free Hospital, Devonshire-square, City, during the ..veek ending May 2, was —Medical, 914; sur gical, 717—total, 1,631, of which 741 were new cases.
