For railways, f ore i gn s t oc k s , and the r nods, the demand is about equal to the supply, so that the changes are quite unim portant.

Finance shares are heavy, and there is a further fractional decline in General Credit, upon Mr. Laing's journey to Lisbon being considered to indicate the unsettled state of the claims of the Portuguese Railway upon the Government.

The general tendency of the trade continues in the di rection of higher prices.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. The markets in general wear a quiet but steady aspect, with fair supplies coming to public sale during the week, and only a limited private inquiry to-day. PROVISIONS. BUTTER.—In English a steady business passing, at late rates. Foreign in good demand this morning, at the late advance. Best Friesland, 126 s to 128 s per cwt. Cheese in steady request, and for good old qualities rates are very firm. Bacon firmly maintains the advance quoted at the close of last week. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Tho market this morning was shortly supplied with beasts, and in consequence of the gced reports from the dead meat markets, rates are very firm, tending against buyers, whilst of lambs and sheep there was a good num ber at market, and a slow demand. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, April 20.--Market firm, advancing I to I higher. Sales probably 15,000 bales. WOOL. The markets for both English and Colonial are firm, with moderate transactions.

CABINET COUNClL.—Summovses have been issued for a Cabinet Council on Wednesday next, to be held at the First Lord of the Treasury's official residence in Downing-street. A NEW TENOR.—Report speaks highly of a new tenor, Mr. Jess 6 Burleigh, who, under the auspices of Mr. A. Chappell, is about to make his debut in London. His voice is said to be remarkably fine. A tenor just now is much needed, and we hope expectation will not be dis appointed. P. T. BARNU3I ON THE WITNESS STAND.—The great showman has recently been defendant in a suit brought by a Mr. George Cooke, of Bridgeport, Connec ticut, to recover damages for encroaching on his mill pond, Mr. Barnum having built an ice, house on the shore of the pond, which, it was alleged, displaced water which would have turned the water wheels of the mill for about three minutes. In his defence he stat,d that the land on which the ice house was built belonged to his wife, " Charity," and this brought on a warfare between himself and the plaintiff's counsel, which is recorded as follows : Counsel —Mr. Barnum, are you sure that the property was not bought by your own money ? Barnum—l had no money at that time; my wife had all there was in the family; I was a subject of "charity." Judge (smiling)—Charity suffereth long. Mr. Barnum —Without charity I was nothing iu those days of Jerome clocks. Counsel—Mr. Barnum, you are now worth a million of dollars ? Mr. Barnum (gravely)—l am glad to hear it. Counsel—Are you not worth it ? Mr. Barnum —You so inform me, sir. Counsel —You are worth a million and a half ? Mr. Bar num—Better yet. Counsel —Is not this true ? Mr. Bar num—l shall tell you if the Court so directs. Judge— What is the object of the inquiry? Counsel— I wish to know how he has made $1,500,000 within a few years. Mr. Barnum —I am not aware that lam obliged to give the gentleman lessons in the art of money getting. Coun sel (to t he j u d g e) —Shall not the witness answer my ques tions. Judg e —Mr. Barnum may d o as h e lik es a b out it. If he has no objection to telling you how he has made money, he ma y do so. Mr. Barnum (taking a pencil and a large sheet of law paper)_l certainly have not the slight e st objection (co mme ncing to make figures rapidly), but it will involve some little delay to the court. I shall be obliged to figure up my profits on the " What is it," then the Gorilla, the Mermaid, and enter into some pretty nice calculations regarding the net proceeds of the Woolly Horse. 1 shall also be compelled to re-write out a cata logue h the of lu bp the jrch m t. eu a and i then somecourse i faint tf gleams about five of h l d i g a days on we ü bl s ybe m g n to got The Court informed the witness that the shall subject.. answer might be waived. The Law Times has an article strongly commending the conduct of Sir Roundell Palmer in- having absented him self from the division for going into committee on the Irish Church. The substance of it is that the hon. and learned gentleman kept his conscience clear and lost the woolsack. It is, of course, obvious that unless Sir Roundell can be properly " educated," he can never form a member of a Cabinet which will be called upon to devise the machinery for disestablishing the Church in Ireland; It is not a case in which an eminent lawyer may quarrel with his leader and trust to time to brixig about a reconciliation. But, according to present appearances, it is a difference of opinion which would prevent Sir R,oundell from working with his party on a great question of public policy. How quarrels are made up was illustrated in the case of Lord Palmerston and the pre sent Lord Westbury. When the Liberals were in Opposition in 1858, Lord Palmerston made his usual anti -ballot speech, on the introduction of Mr. Berkeley's annual motion. He had..no sooner sat down than up rose Sir Richard Bethell, whom Lord Palmers t on had made suc cessively Solicitor and Attorney-General, and madi a trenchant attack upon his late chief. Yet within twelve months Sir Richard was again Lord Palmerston's Attor ney-General, and two years afterwards he was Lord High Chancellor in the Cabinet of the same Minister. Should Sir RoundellTalmer not reconcile the destruction of the Irish Church with the expressed convictions of a lifetime, who, it is asked, will be Mr. Gladstone's Lord Chancellor? Certainly not Lord Cranworth, in the 78th year of his age, and no friend of legal reforms. Scaicely Lord West bury, after the events of 1865, and with the recollection of his onslaughts upon Mr. Gladstone in the session of 1857, when in charge of the Divorce Bill. Would Sir Robert Collier receive the Great Seal by virtue of necessity, or would be be content with a judgeship so as to make way for Mr. Coleridge —a pro mothai without parallel since the ddys of Lord BroughanA elevation ? It is obvious that unless Sir R. Palmer will consent to act, the woolsack will be one of Mr. Gladstone's difficulties, and it may safely be assumed that consider. able pressure w ill be put upon the hon. and learned member for Richmond to induce him to work with M. .2!«. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1808 LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) TOM SAYERS AND HIS CHILDREN. To-day was specially appointed for the hearing of the case in relation to the children of Tom Sayers; whether the children, four in number, born after the marriage with the present Mrs. Sayers, were entitled to the property left by Sayers, and which was claimed on behalf of his two illegitimate children by the same woman. About £3,000 had been left by Sayers, out of the col lection made after his fight with Heenan. He had separated from his wife, and several chil dren were born after the separation, and were not, it was alleged, the children of Sayers, as his wife had gone to live with a cabman, and he had lived with his brother's wife, his brother being alive at the time. Several witnesses (principally women) were called to show that after the separation there had been access between the husband and wife; they were frequently dwelling together, and appeared in com pany. The evidence revealed a sad picture of the inner life of the parties. The case proceeded before his lordship without a jury, to save expense, and will last one or two days. Mr. Baggally, Mr. Jesse], Q.C., Mr. C. Barber, and Mr. Joyce appeared in the case. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) JONES V. HEASEISIAN-BRRACII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. Thiswas an action forbreach of promise of marriage by Miss Mary Ann Jones, of Nelson-square, Rother hithe, against John Heaseman, a timber merchant, carrying on business at the York-road, Lambeth. From the evidence of the sister of the plaintiff, it appeared that she carried on the same business, with the aid of her brother as the defendant, and about the early part of last (year he paid great attention to the plaintiff. Matters went on until it became the impression of all parties that the de-, Pendant intended- to marry the plaintiff. This supposition was looked upon as true from a con versation which took place with the defendant and the plaintiff's brother-in-law, on which occasion the defendant asked the plaintiff's relative which would make the best wife, Mary Ann or her sister, as ho intended to marry the former. After this the brother-in-law, his wife, and plaintiff went to the defendant's house to supper, and here again he (defendant) said in the presence of all that he thought they would make a happy couple, and that she (plaintiff) had only to n a me the day. However, time went on, and when the plain tiff's relations consulted with the defendant, he said he never had any idea of making her his wife. Evidence having been given as to the property of the defendant, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine addressed the jury for defendant, and said the jury would have to draw their own conclusions with respect to the case, but he thought, after they had heard what he had to say, they would be inclined to say that no pro mise had been made. Here were two people, not in the heyday of youth when the blood was hot, but at the steady age of 3 0 and 50, one contending that he had promised marriage, and the other denying that he had done so. It had been said that the defendant had made the promise in the presence of the plaintiff's friends, but his conduct showed that such a thing was highly improbable. Nothing could so fully corroborate that as the alleged conduct of the defendant when the lady on one occasion became mixed up in a crowd when the stalwart arm of a lover would have been of use. (Laughter.) He quitely lets the lady fight her way through, and then they calmly go home to supper. That was certainly what a real lover would not do under such circumstances —he would of all things prefer to be in a crowd with the object of his young heart's fondest affec tion—(laughter)because it offered facilities for a thousand little attentions (laughter)—which could not fail to make a deep impression. The whole thing he (Sergeant Ballantine) looked upon as an attempt to get money from the defendant, who, after all, would not have been a very desirable hus band, because his education had been much neg lected in his youth—(laughter)--which was a very long time ago—(loud laughter)—and his property only consisted of a house of three rooms and a tim ber yard. When the defendant went with the lady to East Grinstead it was to look at some timber, and the whole thing had arisen from a quarrel which had taken place after that, because the defendant would not let the plaintiff have the timber. He was quite ready to trust himself—(laughter)—but not his timber. (Renewed laughter.) If they gave the plaintiff a verdict it would be a very serious matter for all old bachelors, and with respect to the term " Dear Miss Jones," in his letters, it was only meant as the usual compliment, just as people always sign Yours obediently, , ) when very many times they would like to kick you. (Laughter.) The learned Judge summed up the evidence, and the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, £5O. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUELTY TO A IlousE.—Charles Rey, a young man, son of a green_grocer, of No. 36, King-street, Soho, was charged, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with working a horse while in au unfit state. _ _ S im eon Gell, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the pri soner driving an old grey horse attached to a van laden with coke, and seeing that it was in a deplora ble condition, and had diseased hocks, he stopped the prisoner, and recommended him to take the horse home. The prisoner promised to do so, but at a late hour he saw the prisoner again working the horse, and he then took him into custody. The horse was very old, had scarcely any flesh on its bones, had diseased legs and hocks, and had a diseased hind foot. The prisoner's father was will ing to have the horse destroyed. The Magistrate said that the horse should be destroyed, and on seeing a certificate to that effect he would discharge the prisoner. TIIE FIRE IN GERRARD-STREET.—ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE. - -Dominick Nicols, a Frenchman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Police constable Thomas Leader, 146 A R, and resisting him while in the execution of his duty at a fire at a chemist's in Gerrard-street, Soho, where the Japanese troupe playing at the Lyceum Theatre were lodging. Police-constable Thomas Leader, 146 A R, said that at half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening he was on duty at a fire at a chemist' s i n Gerrard street, Soho, when the prisoner and several others of the lowest foreigners came up and tried to force their way through the crowd. He told the prisoner to stand back, and tried to keep him back, when he struck him a violent blow on the chest, and then ran away, but he was afterwards taken into custody in a public-house, when he said th a t h e h a d been helping to remove property from the house on fire, and that his object in going to the house was to get paid for doing so. The prisoner said he never touched anything at the fire, and that if he struck the constable he was sorry for it. Police-Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, said that he was at the fire, and saw the prisoner and some of the lowest and most turbulent foreigners in the neigh to force th e i r way t h roug h t h e bourhood trying crowd. The prisoner struck the last witness, upon which a number of foreigners closed round him, so as to let him escape, and he ran into a public-house, where he (the sergeant) took him into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the police were protecting pro perty at a fire, and giving room to the firemen to enable them to extinguish the fire, when the pri soner thought proper to assault one of them, for which he would have to pay 205., or 14 days.

According to the Times he may thank his stars that most of the American people will read it, and that few of them had the chance of listening to it. " The accounts given," it says, "of his voice and manner are sufficient to explain why the Senate felt itself compelled to stop him in the middle of his speech, and adjourn for ten minutes. It could only have been the sternest sense of duty that kept the entire body from going crazy within a short time after he began to speak." The Washington correspondent of the Tribune says that when ho came to that portion of his speech bearing on the New Orleans riots, " he ground it out between his teeth like the screeching of a hundred saws, commingled with the rumbling of an artillery carriage across a ragged pavement." But the Ilerald correspondent caps this— " Mr. Butler's voice," he writes, "is tho strangest ever mortal speaker saluted the public ear with. It resembles in its intonations the combined and varied noises of a cracked barrel-organ and a chorus of bull-terrier 3 in a GUM Sett." 3IONS. 54 46 1026 1034 3 4 5 7 68 71 18 52 99 IG2 1041 IGS, 109 110 151 16; 78 62 41 45 33 35 27 29 18 19 109 110 16 2 16 24 102 103 94 96 161 16; 98 100 91 9.1 100 102 1 93 95 89 91 83 65 1021 103 100 101 1001 1011 P 10) 1 01 87 89 WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.--Robert McAdam, a man of very respectable appearance, was charged under the following extraordinary circumstances. __ _ . FolicQ 7 oQutitAblg 6i 13 Paid That ou §Aturclay night he was called to Queen-street, Brompton, where he found a great many people collected, and an extraordinary scene going on. Defendant was clearing a green grocer's shop by throwing the whole of the goods there into the street, and at last the number of baskets was so great that the carriage. way was completely obstructed. Defendant would not go away, and as the mob became very great witness took him into custody. George Martin, greengrocer, 38, Queen-street, Brompton, said that on Wednesday and Saturday the defendant visited his shop and threw his goods out into the street. He said he had a right to the place, and after he had pitched all the goods into the street threw a piece of wood at witness's wife, when he had him turned out of the shop. had it struck an infant in her arms it would probably have killed it. Witness was cross-examined by defendant, and said he had taken the house, which he found empty, of Mr. Simmouds, the landlord, for seven years. Defendant said that because he had expressed Lis intention to give a lecture on Clerkenwell-green he was suddenly taken to Kennington Workhouse, put into an insane ward, and kept there for a fort night. When discharged last Wednesday he went to his house, and to his surprise found the man Martin duly installed there, although his (defen dant's) tenancy did not expire until Michaelmas, 1869. He was about to retake possession when he was interfered with. He complained in the strongest terms against the imputation of insanity and the injustice done him iu taking possession of his house while he was away. Mr. Arnold said he could neither try the question of sanity nor right of possession. For these defen dant had his remedy by law. He must not commit a breach of the peace. He was ordered to find bail.

THE MADOC (CANADA) GOLD DISTRICT.—A great scandal has fallen upon the gold operators in the Madoc District. It had been reported that the " Empire" mine ha 3 produced from a quantity of ore at the rate of $2l 40 per ton, and a certificate of the fact was given. Upon this representation the proprietors succeeded in inducing other parties to take an interest in the mine ; but it has since trans pired that the ore was " salted ;" or, in other words, gold was obtained elsewhere and mixed in the ore. People will be careful in future how they receive statements from the gold mines in the Quinte Dis trict. A rich mine, yielding $2O 83 to the ton, is reported to have been found at El Dorado, in the same district, but the " salting" idea will haunt every one after this, and it will be difficult to get credit to any statements put forth, no matter how they may be fortified by the certificates of the assayers. The scandal has done for the gold business.--Neu' Yor•1, Times. The IVall-street Joarnal publishes the following letter from an occasional correspondent, dated Austin, Nevada, March 11, 1858 :—" In this region we are making steady progre,s in legitimate min ing. Speculation, which by the rascality of name less adventurers was nearly ruinous to the good name of our mines, has in a great measure disap peared. We are willing that the reputation of our silver-bearing lodes should depend on their yield of billion, and all we ask of those who invest capital here is that they will act with the ordinary pru dence of every-day business life. If they will re frain from building costly mills, until they are sure they have got reliable mines sufficiently opened to supply the ore necessary to keep the stamps in steady work, they will be more likely to succeed than if, as has usually been the case, they erect a mill and then curse the country because the ore they wanted did not come to their hand. Our re putation is about to be injured by the failure of a company in Smoky Valley, who, like others, thought a mill was all that was needed to secure divi dends. If the company ever get a dividend it will be somewhat strange indeed, unless the system of management is so far altered that the mine and not the mill will be made the foundation of future hopes —which even then may be distant—as to realiza tion. We certainly have good mines in South eastern Nevada, and three years hence we shall astonish the world by our yield of bullion. The mines of the Twin River and Manhattan Com panies with their yield of a hundred thousand dollars per month in bullion are proving on a small scale what our best mines can do if they are rightly opened. Send us out instead of practical men a couple of dry goods clerks, or never-do-well pets of the families of some of the harvest shareholders, and even these mines will run their owners in debt before a year. We have many equally good mines in the country, not only at Silver Bend, but in other districts, such as Columbus, with its famous Northern Belle lode, and Neville, with its wondrous Fisherman mine. Recent development in the Morey district prove that the mines there are very valu able. The Magnolia lode, in that district, at the depth of 85 feet, shows two feet of s o lid me t a lli c ore. An assay of the drillings obtained from a two foot hole gave an assay at Hot Cr ee k o f $1,020 per ton. I have seen a piece of the ore ju s t b roug ht from the mine, and it is certainly magnificent. Work has been started on the Lapwing lode on Lander Hill, one of the oldest and best locations in the ri c h part of the belt. The object is to trace into a con flicting claim of more recent location, for which a patent has been applied by the New York Com pany. I have just heard to- day of a t ransac ti on which is much to the credit of Mr. D. G. Ogden, who was here a few months ago, and saw more of our mines than any , other gentleman w h o h as visited us from the East. A series of w ild- ca t claims, in Twin River District were about to be foisted on his company by some potent influe nce within the organization. He inspected the ledges, and became satisfied that his friends would be swindled unless he put a check on the transaction. I doubt not he has given much offence to those who hoped to make money out of the b us i ness, by so promptly exposing the rascality, but in taking the course he did, he was befriending this section of country as well as his own friends. We all suffer if Eastern capitalists are unfortu nate enough to invest in worthless mines. I know the property alluded to, and can easily prove that the best ore obtainable from croppings will not assay sts per ton, and the principal part of each vein will not show more than a trace of silver. PROSPECTOR. A PEEP AT LANDER lllLL.—Through the SCOW on February 23d we took a walk over a section of Lander Hill. We passed the vertical shaft of the Foiyabe Company, which is situate in the vicinity of the Isabella and Trojan. The dimensions of the shaft are four feet by eight feet in the clear. It is about twenty-five feet deep, and its bottom is sink ing steadily every day. This part of Lander Hill, which has been long neglected, will be the scene of activity the coming_ summer. While passing to the works of the Liuie and Fuller we noticed a couple of spots that appeared to invite an open ing, and were informed that they had been devoted to deep shafts. Juit now our miners seem bent on getting at the bottom of things. The works of the Lane and Fuller form one of a cluster known as the " Beehive ;" for there are half a dozen active mines —three of them bullion-producing —within a stone's throw. It seemed but the other day that the ground was broken for the shaft of the Lane and Fuller, and yet we were informed that it was one hundred and fifty feet deep. The dimensions of the shaft are four by ten feet. The hole is in good ground, for the workmen make three and sometimes as high as five feet a day. One vein of quartz had been cut in the shaft. They are preparing to put a " cage" in the middle compart ment, by which means greater speed and safety will be insured. - While our foot was in, we stepped into the house of the Fl or id a , w h ence we found steam and muscle busily employed in the work of extracting ore. It is usual to speak of the Florida as " little," yet there were many pieces of ore lying before us on the dump which showed plainly enough that it had some pretensions to " feet.' One great chunk was brought up in the car, which it nearly filled, that indicated the stratum of good ore to be from sixteen to eighteen inches thick. There were about fifty tons of ore on the floor, the first class of which it is estimated will yield per ton —what we do not like to say. But we will take care to get the figures from the mill man one of these days. A workman told us that the ore was taken from the 400 feet level, where the vein in places was two feet wide and unbroken. The mine never looked as well as at present. The working shaft of the Nlanhattan Company, known as the Oregon shaft, which is situated east of the ravine and but a short distance from the " Beehive," is sinking rapidly, as its swelling dump easily shows. Lander Hill is nearly old enough to do for itself, and we shall expect it to render a substantial ac count of its treasure. MINING AT SILVER BEND.—Besides the opera tions on the Highbridge, Transylvania, El Dora do, and Arizona, the chief and most fully developed mines in the district of Silver Bend, we learn that several other locations give good promise of turn ing out to be valuable mines. About four miles north-west from the town of Belmont is situated the Highland Chief, showing a ledge six feet wide, which produces ore of a high grade. A short dis tance west of the Arizona is the Belcher, upon which the owners are sinking an incline, and which yields excellent ore. Two miles south of the High bridge is the Webster, estimated to be thirty feet wide. The owners have just completed an open cut, in which they uncovered the ledge at the depth of twenty feet. This claim is believed to be a continuation of the Highbridge vein. A number of other claims are receiving attention, and in the spring they will be worked with vigour and probable success. On the assured mines of the dis trict, such as the Highbridge, Transylvania, El Dorado, and Silver Champion, active operations are in progress. The Reporter says :—" Now that the lawsuit with Kalmes is settled, we suppose the Silver Bend Company will commence work upon an extensive scale. The Combination Company's steam hoisting works will be completed in two or three weeks, w hen a larger force can be employed in their mines than at present." The indications are that the advancing season will be one of un common activity at Silver Bend, and that its pro duct of bullion will be large and increasing before the expiration of the year. Two such veins as the Transylvania and El Dorado are sufficient to render the district of the first importance.—Reese Ricer Reveille. A mortgage for $200,000 on the Florida mine, the property of the New York and Austin Silver Mining Company, has just been put on record in Lander County.
