Lake, a ticket-of-leave man, and Nathaniel Laudon, who was said to be only just out of prison, appeared before Mr. Kuox to answer adjourned summonses, charging them with assaulting Mr. George Robinson, of the Feathers Tavern, Warren street, Fitzroy-square, and also with assaulting Jas. llacey, potman to Mr. Robinson. Mr. Childs, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, appeared for the complainants. From the evidence it appeared that the defend ants and another man jumped out of a cab at the door of Mr. Robinson's house, and ran into the passage, and, having forced open a door, went into the yard. On Mr. Robinson going into the yard, he found the cabman engaged in an angry alterca tion with , the men, upon which he tad them that they had better go somewhere else, and not come there to bilk a cabman. The defendants then made use of very bad language towards Mr. Robinson and his potrnan —a young man named James llacey—Lake saying he would have " a fight for it," and the defendant then assaulted Mr. Robinson and his footman, Mr. Robinson being several times struck about the face. A constable named Cory, 165 E, saw Lake strike the potman, and Landon tussling with him, but he was unable to take the defendant into custody, having charge of two other men, and who have since been convicted for assaulting him, and rescuing the defendants. On the last oc casion when before the court,- Mr. Knox observing that the defendants were under the influence of drink, and knowingthe serious consequences attach ing to Lake, in case of a conviction—he being a ticket-of-leave man, with seven months of his sen tence unexpired—adjourned the case for a week that the police might report to him what had been the conduct of Lake since he had been at large. Lake said that the police would not let him alone, and upbraided him with being a ticket-of-leave, and a constable had gone to Mr. Robinson and told him that he was a ticket-of-leave man. A constable said he had only in a quiet manner told the landlord what sort of characters he had in his house. Mr. Knox said the reason why he had adjourned the case were twofold—because he did not consider the defendants to be quite sober ; and because he knew the consequences of any fresh offence com mitted by Lake. Lake complained of what the constable had done, but he (Mr. Knox) considered that what he had said to the landlord only a fair warning, and he (Lake) ought, in the position he was in, to have been doubly careful. He would now ask what was Lake's character for the past few months ? Sergeant Burroughs, E division, said that Lake's conduct was most refractory. On one occasion he had threatened to stab a licensed victualler and to break his glass, and on another he had also • threatened to stab a licensed victualler, and even when coming to the station to report himself he had been under the influence of drink. lie (Sergeant Boroughs) had cautioned Lake as to his conduct and told him what it would come to. ➢ir. Knox said that if Lake, holding a ticket-of- leave, thought he could be guilty of such acts as had been proved he was mistaken, and though he (Mr. Knox) was sorry to have to be compelled to do it, still he could pursue no other course, and the defendants would be cominittel for a month each. Lake will now have to finish his original sentence of imprisonment. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.—Patonio Bartlett, aged 19, was placed at the bar charged with extensive robberies of silver plate. Sarah Starkey, cook in the establishment of Mr. Veitch, florist, Kings-road, Chelsea, said that ou the 14th of May, directly after luncheon, the plate basket containing a quantity of silver was stolen from the dining-room. Just before it was missed a woman came into the passage on the basement story, and asked if there was any bottles or things of that sort for sale. Witness was just finding fault with her for coming down without ringing, when the prisoner entered and asked the other if she wanted a bag to put the things in. They then went away and the plate was missed. _ Ellen Goodman, the housemaid, proved that the plate basket must have been taken in a moment directly after the family had left. Mr. Veitch explained that the hall door and in ternal windows of the drawing-room were open, and it was accessible from the King's-road. Harriett Bellett, cook to Mr. Milner, of St. George's-terrace, Primrose-hill, said that on the sth of May she was called down, and found a man at the door who wanted to buy bottles and bones and other things. She told him she did not want to sell anything, and he then went away. Soon after the plate basket was missed from the pantry. Bridget Cameron, who was near the house on the day in question, said that she saw a man who buys bottles and rags come up from the area on the day in question, and then heard the plate had been stolen. There was a woman near, and a cart, but could not say prisoner was the woman. Mr. Arnold—ls she known ? Police-constable Frederick Koch—Yes ; she has had 6 months for another robbery. Mr. Arnold—She is remanded until Tuesday. THAMES. A DISHONEST WATCHMAN. —At 12 o'clock Henry West, a watchman in the service of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a bottle of port and 10oz. of pepper. Yesterday evening the prisoner was leaving the London Dock at the principal gateway. He looked bulky, and Joseph Cross, a gatekeeper, stopped him, and asked him what he had about him, to which he replied, " Nothing." The gatekeeper searched him and found 10 ozs. of pepper in one trousers pocket and a bottle of port wine in another. The prisoner had been specially engaged to watch a barge con taining cases of port wine. Robert M'Gowlan, au officer on duty in the Lon don-dock, said the prisoner was found on board a barge laden with wine, and tearing copper off a ship called the East Lothian. _ . The prisoner, in defence, made the clumsy excuse that he found the bottle of port wine and the copper on board a coal barge between two pieces of coal. _ _ Mr. Bkmson--You ask me to credit that absurd defence. You ought not to be a watchman any longer. It is fortunate you were not charged with felony. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the unlawful possession of the copper and the wine.

The following letter appeared in the 1 , reenian's Journal yesterday. The state of things it describes is so flagrant that we cannot but hope they may be made the immediate subject of Parliamentary inquiry Sir,—l pray that the case of the Rector of Caragh, near the Curragh, and his shoe-black schoolmaster, as reported in the Freeman, be not permitted to drop without proper exemplification of the peculiar phases of Irish life involved in it. If I mistake not, Rev. Samuel G. Cotton, rector of that Anglican union, is son of the venerable plu ralist, Dr. Henry Cotton, author of the lima, Archdeacon of Cashel, Incumbent of the Union of Lismalin, and three united parishes, value £794, Protestant population, 110 ; Incumbent of the Union of 'Diaries, which embraces four parishes, value £950 ; and also treasurer of Christ's Church Cathedral, Dublin. Your Church ComlniSSiOn (Cashel Diocese, p. 56) shows that this lucky d'g nitary has netted upwards of £60,000 during his long incumbency of these livings, the one of forty, the other of forty-four years. The venerable archd aeon has piously devoted " young Samuel " to the church of Kildare, in which the late Dr. Whately appointed him to the living of Cangh, a snug glebe house, with seven acres attached, in the midst of a fine sporting country, a rent charge of £143, and a congregation of only eight families, consisting of forty-four individuals, having a parish church for the few Church-goers affording accommodation for 200 persons. The Catholics who bear this heavy rent-charge-418 for each Protestant family —number 1,745 souls, or about forty Catholics to one Anglican. Utterly blind to the circumstances of his position, this mistaken zealot emplOys an unfortunate man named Flynn as Colporteur, or Tract Distributor, and Scripture Reader, and Parish Clerk and Schoolmaster, and places him over a school for which he obtains aid from the National Board, to enable him to further the work of proselytising aggression upon the Catholic people of Caragh and Prosperous. A new chapel was being budt in Caragh. Mr. Cotton, whose church, with 200 sittings for only eight families, was built and is repaired by the Catho lics, whose surplice is purchased and washed at the expense of the Catholics, avails himself of the opportunity to post on the walls—walls besprent with the bravest blood of Kildare in the hard fought battle of Prosperous, in '9B—an offer of £5O towards the erection of the church, if the Rev. Mr. Fury, the Catholic Curate, will disprove, from the Bible, certain controversial theses advanced in this ge. Flynn, the unfortunate man cm arious offices of bill- s ti c k er , Scrip mpluoyraeldcflioarletnhe v Scrip ture-reader, shoe-black, schoolmaster, parish clerk, and scullion, at the Parsonage, was a Catholic who taught a National School all day, under the mixed system, patron, Rev. S. G. Cotton, from which even the suspicion of proselytism was to be banished—where, as a decoy duck, he might lure the little Catholic " birds of a feather" to the " waters of life," and, in the evening visit their parents and let a faint gleam of Scripture light into the Cimmerian darkness of the Popish homes of green Kildare, St. Brigid, " the Mary of Ire land," giving name (Bride-church) to this very disgusted even Fly nn, hi s own col pe parish. Artleru. to parish clerk, again s t w h om he c i ted to the unbelieving Bench of Magi s t rates t h e hi g h est authorities in Canon Law in proof that he should rC andot n aid the Minister as bill-sticker to outrage the feel ings of the Catholic people. The Bench gave a decree, with costs, against the Rector, for the amount of salary due to the schoolmaster, with a severe admonition that Mr. Cotton had been ap pearing at the petty sessions more frequently than the Magistrates wished, or than was conducive to the peace of the parish, to the dignity of his office, or the promotion of Christian charity. History and tradition seem alike sealed sources of informa tion to the last rector of the Establishment in Caragh. From the lips of the presiding chair man of petty sessions, Sir G. G. Aylmer, Bart., he might have heard of the expensive and unsuc cessful enterprise; the last attempt at reviving the Reformation in Kildare. Kilmeague, the very little town in which the case was tried, was built by the Aylmers, and colonized, at great expense, with "waifs and strays," attracted by vistas of a future city of the elect, which was to be more than in fable, " the Blest." Rev. Mr. Preston, the rector in char.- • witnessed one or two Orange dis plays on the demoniac political festivals of that imported faction, which constituted the sole suc cess of the Kihneague mission. A large expendi ture, a thriftless immigration, and a decreased rental are the painful recollections remaining to the landlord whose missionary experience has made him a wiser and a better man. The National Board, like the sp-called National Churol, both fitly united in this in the parson patron, case Rev. &Ir. Cotton, will die hard, and, I fear, impenitent. A Christian Brothers' School, for the education of Catholic children, in Athy, is denied all state aid. The nuns' school, in the next parish, Naas, narrowly escaped withdrawal of the grant, the Protestant head inspector having found an image of a guardian angel in the school grounds, a violation of rule evaded in another convent by the Iconoclast subterfuge of breaking off the wings, and pretending that it was an old man minding a little child. The exhibition of the sign of the cross—the symbol that seems such a scandal and a stumbling-block to Mr. Cotton, as well as the National Board, that he refused to kiss it on the Bible when being sworn—on a Catholic National School would exclude it from further aid. Yet here we have Mr. Cotton and his unfortunate schoolmaster—colporteur, clerk of church, and bill-poster—getting, as was deposed by the patron of the school at the trial, " salary from the National Board, from the Ecclesiastical Board, and local salaries," in support of this wanton outrage upon a Catholic population, whose taxes are misapplied in sustaining a school under such a patron, and ironically called National. It was in the next parish, Ballysax, that another National School, under another rector, so vindicated the liberty to prosleytise the Catholic children that the late bishop, Dr. llaly, had the children withdrawn, and then denounced the subversion of the original National System. It was in a neighbouring parish, Brackna, that Rev. Mr. Dunn, P.P., had to with draw his flock from Lord Ashtown's National School under an immoral teacher, who had been forced into the parish in defianee of the priest's warning. Athy is not remote from the Model Schools in which the Cardinal Archbishop had to withdraw the Ca tholic children, some of the staff in which were guilty of open profligacy. Under the existing aspects of the National System, I think Lord Abercorn might have applied the principle of the Suspensory Bill, and not have recently filled up two of the vacancies on the board. No evil could arise from leaving vacant livings filled by such men as Rev. Mr. Cotton or schools directed by such patrons. Poor Flynn, in his re pentance, is now deemed to have been " a Jesuit spy in Mr. Cotton's National School, and has thrown himself on the Catholics again "—" a broken tool, the tyrant's castaway." It is most desirable that the correspondence between Mr. Cotton and the Commissioners in Marlborough street, alluded to at the trial, should be moved for in Parliament. --I remain, dear sir, yours truly, CONLAETHUS. Kildare, 28th May, 1868. TIIE MAGNESIUM LIGHT.—King Theodore, it is stated, advised his companions to attack the British by night, but they declined, and descended to their deaths by daylight. Had they obeyed, they would have had a new proof of the power which science cm bring to bear in aid of slaughter. Sir Robert Napier had with him an apparatus for em ploying the magnesium light on a grand scale. At a distance of tioo yards a bewildering blaze of light would have been thrown into the eyes of the Abyssinians, and the British, themselves in im penetrable shadow, would have shot down their enemies at leisure and at ease. The poor Abys sinians would have been helpless as herrings with the electric ray streaming on the shoal ! It is hardly war, such a contest ; but it is better that civilization should be armed than that barbarism should lie,—Spectator, SNARE LIST. ORDINARY tiliAii.ES AND STOCKS.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. POTTER V. RANKIN.-JUDG3IENT. The Court gave judgment in this case to-day. It has been frequently before the public, and it will be recollected the sum sought to be recovered amounted to £4,000, which the plaintiff alleged he was entitled to under a policy effected on the ship Sir W. Eyre, which was so damaged during the late cyclone in the River Hoogly as to be given up as a total loss. At the first trial a verdict was given for the defendant, but le.tve was given to move to enter the verdict for plaintiff for £lOO. The rule was granted and the case fully argued, but their lordships deferred their judgment until to-day. After going at length into the various bearings of the case, the Court thought the underwriters not liable for the loss, and therefore ordered the rule to be di.tcharged. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) 3IADEN V. HADEN AND DE TIIOREN. This was a suit for dissolution of marriage insti uted by the husband against the wife. The petitioner and respondent were officers in the Indian army, and, from the opening of the learned counsel, it appeared the respondent, after quitting her husband's house, had been received back again, but in a short time after she again left him, and it was then discovered she was living in adultery with the co-respondent. Servants from the Charing-cross Hotel, the Crystal Palace Hotel, and other places were this morning examined, and proved that the respondent and co-respondent passed some days and nights at each of their places. T-he case was proceeding when we went to press. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WEST DRAYTON RAGS—TuEsply. The second day's racing scarcely cams up to that of the first, as for as sport was concerned, but there was again no lack of holiday folk on the ground, and the weather being most pleasant the proceedings generally appeared to afford satisfaction. One great failure in the programme however, was productive of much disappointment, and that was the utter collapse of the " big race" of the meeting, the West Drayton Handicap. in accordance with the con ditions of the race, it was requisite that three should start to secure the added money, but only two were weighed out, viz., Merry Andrew and Othello. Both of these went to the starting post, but subsequently both returned to the enclosure and the race became void, amidst loud expres sions of dissatisfaction. Otherwise the details given below require no comment : The Village Plate of 40 sous (handicap); winners after May 28 (at ten a.m.) 71b extra; about five furlongs. Mr Rickards's Aurora, by Lord of the Isles—Dawn of Day, 5 yre, Bst 51b (including ilb extra) (\Tuley) 1 Mr Heene's Arkadi, 3 yrs, ist 91b .................. (Forster) 2 Mr. F.

Betting-6 to 4on Aurora, 6to 1 agst Arkadi, Bto 1 agst Hop Leaf, and 100 to 3 agst any other. Aurora jumped away with a slight lead, immediately attended by Arkadi and Lady Roseberry, Hop Leaf next, and The Regent whipping in. No change occurred, and the favourite, never being caught, won by a length, a neck only separating second and third. Lady Roseberry was a bad fourth, Diamond fifth, Volhynia next, and Regent was last throughout. The Hurdle Race Plate of 40 soya (handicap); winners of any hurdle race after May 21 (at tea a.m.) 71b extra ; about one mile and a half, over six hurdles. Mr R.

The favourite got away with the lead, attended by Bright Phcebus, Order dropping a long way in the rear after going a quarter of a mile, and Reeves was never able to get up to the leader, who won easily by a length. Order was walked in with the crowd, but passed the post.

Betting opened at 7 to 4, and closed at even on luuendo, 2 to I.agst Diamond, and 7 to 1 each agst Henry the First and Brigand. Diamond made all the running to the dis tance, where the favourite joined issue, and iu a good race home suffered defeat by a head, luuendo beating the Bri grand for second place by a length. Henry the First was a bad fourth, and the Ma.ster Bagot filly last, not passing the post. The winner was sold to Mr. Andrews for 63 guineas, and Henry the First was said to Mr. Walker for 10 guineas. The West Drayton Whitsuntide Handicap of 7 sous each, 2 ft, with .50 added; winners after May 28 (at ten a.m.) 71b extra. One mile and a half. 21 subs. Mr. J. Dixon's Othello, 5 yrs, 7st 121 h (S.

Bad third, Peignoir fourth, Thermometer fifth, Heurlys sixth, and Miss Franklin the absolute last. The winner was sold to Mr. Potter for 70 guineas.

Black Swan cut out the work with King of Spades in attendance, and Tom Coke close up, Volhynia next, Pakrita being at the head of the rear lot, the last of whom was Goodwood Girl and General Sherman, the latter pulling up opposite the stand, having lost so much ground. Little alteration occurred for nearly a mile of the journey, when the race was left to the three placed borsep, and a fine race home ensued, resulting in the vic tory of the favourite by a head, a neck separating second and third, King of Spades was a bad fourth, Delium was fifth, Volhynia sixth. Goodwood Girl pulled up before passing the post.

SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT TATTERSALL'S The yearlings of Mr. T. Townley Parker, six in num ber, and fourteen from tho Rimeliffe Stud Company, were put up for sale at Albert Gate, on Monday, by Messrs. Tattersall. Not withstanding the apprehensions of breeders of not being able to dispose of their yearlings on advan tageous terms, everything with any pretensions to merit brought its value, and is some cases even more. Mr. Townley Parker's youngsters do not call for much comment, Three of them were by Adventurer, and one each by Rinaldo. Macaroni, and Oxford. The best-looking one, which also brought the highest price, was the chesnut c At by Oxford out of Satanella, but he is rather light in bone below the knee. The Rawcliffe Company sent up the best lot I ever remember from that establishment, which will be apparent when the average is seen, the nine lots sold realising 3,735 guineas, or an average of 415 guineas. This was in a great measure owing to the great demand at present for the stock of Newminster, of which there were six, all of whom were sold. The filly by Newminster out of Cu- LAW 4ulitY7 014t1191 1 g4 yory large is certain to race; she was decidedly cheap at 155 guineas. The filly by Newminster out of Shamrock is not quite so goo l a stamp, but still she was worth the money that William Day gave for her. Mr. Blenkiron secured a very good filly out of Annie Laurie for 250 guineas, who will repay him amply for his outlay. The next lot was the bargain of the sale, a chesnut colt by Newminster out of Pauline, and consequently brother to Mount Palatine. Althought rather light is bone, he is an evenly-made colt, and very bloodlike, and is worth nearly double what Mr. rayne gave for him. The brother to Vespa sian was the next on the list, and there was some smart competition for him between Sir 0. Legard and Mr. J. Stephenson, the latter obtaining him for 700 guineas. The colt out of Dutchman's Daughter was the pick of the basket. He is a rich bay, and is well grown, with good back and loins and excellent legs and feet—in fact., it is a rare thing to meet with such a daoirable yearling. lie was put up at 500 guineas, the bid Hug going on very briskly to 830 guineas, at which ho fell to the Duke of Newcastle, who arrived just in time to secure him. The next lot, a black colt by Claret out of Patience, has plain shoulders, with high hips and light quarters ; still, he bad capital timber under him, but he was dear enough to the Duke of Newcastle at 500 guineas. First Lord, a hay colt by Lord CHM mi out of Polianthus, does great credit to that young sire. He has both substance aud sytntnetry, with good action, but Mr. Stephenson gave quite enough for him, The names of the purchasers and list of prices are given below Mr. Townley Parker's Yearlings.

The weather continues fine, and with it the wheat crops progress s teadily towards yielding an early and abundant harvest. T hough this favourable result is being readily die counted throughout the trade, not only in the provinces, but also in the principal foreign markets, prices are depressed. It is remarked, however, that wheat is already 10s to 15s below its highest point, and to this extent the advantages of a good crop have already been anticipated, and whilst with the continuation of fine weather the de pression may yet extend, there may be at any moment a smart reaction, should an unfavourable change take place in the atmosphere at so critical a period as the present. At Mark-laue this morning the a.tendance was small, and the disinclination to purchase undiminished, whilst holders were generally disposed to realise where pos sible. English wheat was in slow sale and irregular in price, buyers having the advantage. Foreign wheat hung on hand and offers rather under, but rates were not refused. Flour very dull of sale, and drooping in value. Barley, beans, and peas quiet. Oats steady. TALLOW. The market is fl :Lt at 43s 3d spot, 43s 3d June, and 43s 9d last months. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, June 3.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. Market very firm.
