KON hi MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There is less business doing in nubile securities this linrning, and quotations are in consequence a shade easier.

Account, June POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. -opr MARLBORO UG II- STREE A " TICKET-oF-LEAVE" MAN IN DIFFICULTY.-- Wm. Lake, a ticket-of-leave man, and Nathaniel Landon, who was said to be only just out of prison, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer adjourned summonses, charging them with assaulting Mr. George Robinson, of the Feathers Tavern, Warren street, Fitzroy-square, and also with assaulting Jas. Dacey, 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 told 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 potman —a young man named James Dacey—Lake saying he would have " a tight 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, s:iw 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 knowing the 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—adfourned 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 comphined 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 ono 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. Ile (Sergeant Buroughs) had cautioned Lake as to his conduct and told him what it would come to. Mr. 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 committed 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 on 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 DISIIONEST WATCIIMAN.—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 I 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. Benson—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. WAUKENNIAST'S " Five Miles an Hour Easy" Boots—are capital substitutes for either llop-'o-my- Thumb's "Seven-League Boots," or Jack the Giant Killer's "Shoes of Swiftness." They fit the foot like a glove—pinch nowhere—allow plenty of room for the heel, and are made out of the supplest leather. In them, accord ing to their facetious manufacturer, you can do vigorously your pilgrim's progress without a bunion. They insure all these advantages simply because they are made with a due regard to the foot's anatomy. THE SUN, LO : SHARE LIST. ORDINARY SHALCKS AND STOCKS. Railways.

THE SCHOOLMASTER AND HIS PATRON. The following letter appeared in the lireeman'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 _rasa, Archdeacon of Cashel, Incumbent of the Union of Lismalin, and three united parishes, value £794, Protestant population, 110 ; Incumbent of the Union of 'fhurles, which embraces four parishes, value £950 ; and also treasurer of Christ's Church Cathedral, Dublin. Your Church Commission (Cashel Diocese, p. 56) shows that this lucky dig 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 " Ito the church of Kildare, in which the late Dr. Whately appointed him to the living of Car.tgli,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—£ l B 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 aggres•don upon the Catholic people of Caragh and Prosperous. A new chapel was being built 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 mural chalenge. Flynn, the unfortunate man em ployed for the various offices of bill-sticker, 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 da rkn ess of the Popish homes of green Kildare, St . Bri g id, " the Mary of Ire land," giving name .(Bride-church) to this very parish. Mr. Cotton disgusted even Flynn, his own col porteur and parish clerk, against whom he cited to the unbelieving Bench of Magistrates the highest authorities in Canon Law in pr oo f th a t h e s h ou ld 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 t o h r e and tradition se em alik e sealed sou r ces of informa tion to the last rector of the Establishment in ot to the dignity of his office, Caragh. From the lips of the presiding chair tpheeac promotion of thei on parish,of charity. History Christian 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," attrac.ed 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 charge, witnessed one or two Orange dis plays on the demoniac political festivals of that imported faction, which constituted the sole suc cess of the Kilineague 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 s)-called National Church, both fitly united in this case in the parson patron, Rev. Mr. 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 having found an inspector 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. Maly, 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 defiance 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 can brin g to bear in aid of s l aug ht er . Sir Robert Napier had with him an apparatus for em ploying the magnesium light on a grand scale. At a distance of 600 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 barbarisui be,--Spectator. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-7 MS DAY. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. POTTER V. RANKIN.-JUDGMENT. 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 leave was given to move t) 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 discharged. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) :KADEN V. MADEN AND DE THOREN. This was a suit for dissolution of marriage insti tuted by the husband against the wife. The petitioner and respondent were office'rs in the Indian army, and, from the opening of the learned counsel, it appeared the respondent, after quitting her husband's house, Lad 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. Verdict for plaintiff. Damages, £1,500. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WEST DRAYTON RACES—TUESDAY. The second day's racing scarcely came 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 peat 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 sovs (Handicap); winners after May 28 (at ten a.m.) 71b extra; about five furlongs.

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 Rusoborry was a bad fourth, Diamond fifth, Vulhynia next, and Regent was last throughout. The Hurdle Race Plate of 40 sovs (Handicap); winners of any hurdle race after May 21 (at teu a.m.) 71b extra ; about one mile and a half, over six hurdles. Mr it.

Betting opened at 7 to 4, and closed at even on Inuendo, 2 to 1 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 in a good racy home suffered defeat by a head, Inuendo beating the Bri grand for second place by a length. Henry the First was a bad fourth, and the Master Bagot filly last, not passing the post. The winner was sold to Mr. Andrews for 63 guineas, and Henry the First was sold to Sir. Walker for 10 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 horses, 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.

SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT TATTERSALL'S The yearlings of Mr. T. Townley Parker, six in num ber, and fourteen from the Rawcliffe Stud Company, were put up for sale at Albert Gate, on Monday, by Messrs. Tattersall. Notwithstanding 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 in 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 eilt by Oxford out of Satanella, but ho 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 wore six, all of whom were sold. The filly by Newminster out of Cu- Joao do I'm ifs full 91 quality - , pi alt h ough not Tory largo is certain to race ; she was decidedly cheap at 155 guineas. The filly by Newminster out of Shamrock is not quite so good a stan.p, 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 in 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 C. Legard and Mr. J. Stephenson, the latter obtaining him for 700 guineas. The colt out of Dutchman's Datigliter was the pick of the basket. lie 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 desirable yearling. lie was put up at 500 guineas, the bid ling going on very briskly to 850 guineas, at which he 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 had capital timber under him, but he was dear enough to the Duke of Newcastle at 500 guineas. First Lord, a bay colt by Lord Clifden out of Polianthus, does great credit to that young sire. lie has both substance and symmetry, with good action, but Mr. Stephenson gave quite enough for him.

MARK-LANE. The weather continues fine, and with it the wheat crops progress steadily 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 105 to 15s below its highest point, and to this extent this 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 bo 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-lane this morning the attendance was small, and the disinclination to purchase undiminished, whilst holders were generally disposed to realise whore pos sible. English wheat was in slow sale and irregular in prio a 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 flat at 482 3d spot, 432 3d June, and 43s 9d last months. COTTON.
