INS rITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. (William Cubitt, Esq., President, in the Chair.) On Tuesday, the discussion on Mr. Digby Wyatt's paper, "On the Construction of the Building for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, in 1851," was continued throughout the meeting. On the one side it was contended, that the present building was not in accordance with the conditions pub lished by the Royal Commissioners ;—that from its form, the wind would have a most injurious effect on it, and therefore, that instead of testing each girder singly, as had been done, the whole roof should have been subjected to the same ordeal as Turner's roof over the Railway Station at Liverpool, which had been proved by suspend ing weights at intervals, on the presumed necessity for its bearing a strain of wind equal to fifty pounds per square foot. This test of proof had been suggested by Mr. Locke and Mr. Fox, and therefore it could not be objected to now. The snugs, for receiving the ends of the girders, were considered as being too weak, and liable to fracture. The foundation of concrete under each column was considered insufficient, and not in ac cordance with the original design, as set forth in the Illustrated London News, of July 6tb, 1850, where a proper kind of foundation was stated to be provided. The columns of such slender dimensions as eight inches diameter, and varying from one inch and an eighth down to half an inch in thickness, and each composed of seven parts, must be unstable when carried to such heights as sixty-four feet. The girders of the galleries, when under the action of the multitudes of persons all in one direction, would acquire an undulating motion, which would fracture them. The glass of the roof being only of the weight of six. teen ounces psr square foot, or about cne-eighth of an inch in thickness, was quite inadequate to resist hail storms, or even the weight of a fall of snow, and that great leakage must be expected from this and several other causes. The condensed vapour from the under side of the iron beams would also drop on the goods ex hibited, to their serious injury. The quantity of timber employed, and the system of open flooring, rendering the building peculiarly liable to catch fire; and on these grounds it was asserted to be wanting in the stability and the security requisite for a receptacle for the valuables which would be transmitted for exhibition. It had been stated by the Royal Com missioners that a building would be provided, free of rent and fire-proof: the latter condition was certainly not fulfilled, and if the building remained uninsured, each exhibitor would be under the necessity of pro viding for the safety of his own goods, and thus be sub jected to a greater expense than the ordinary rent of a really fire-proof building. On the other aide, it was admitted that, up to the pre sent time, the building was not insured against fire. It was, however, contended, that an examination in detail of all the parts of the structure demonstrated the fal lacy of the objections which had been made. Every part had been attentively considered, and had been sub jected to careful and minute experiment. The concrete foundation had been tested to the extent of seven tons per square foot without crushing, whilst the greatest weight that could be brought upon each square foot of foundation was only two and a half tons; this was sup posing the building to be crowded with visitors, and the roof covered with a depth of two feet of snow. Tae columns had also been submitted to similar expe riments; their thickness varied from half an inch to one inch and an eighth, according to the duty they had to perform, and the position they occupied in the building. It had been calculated, that the greatest weight which could possibly be brought upon the strongest column was sixty tons, whilst its breaking weight exceeded three hundred tons. The glass was considered to be sufficiently strong, as its thickness and quality were similar to that used in the lame conservatory at Chatsworth, of which not a pane had been broken by any hailstorm that had occurred since its erection, twelve years ago. The canvas em ployed outside would not only temper the rays of the sun, and aid in ventilation, bat would also assist in pre venting fracture of the glass, and in consequence of the canvas itself being fixed to each ridge in narrow strips, if any portion did catch fire, only that piece would be burned. It was further stated, that on the present de sign being accepted, an offer had been received for ita construction from the person who now moat violently attacked the original design and its actual construction. It was announced from the Chair that the discussion on Mr. Wyatt's paper " On the Construction of the Building for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations, in 1851," would be resumed at the next meeting, Tuesday, January 28th. At the monthly ballot the following candidates were duly elected:—Messrs. R. Jobsoc, J. F. Miller, E. Mox ham, U. Pooley, W. Weaver, and C. F. F. Wordsworth, Captain M‘lierlie, R.E., and Major J. C. Plowden, as Associates. A NEW CRUSADE. The ..411gerneine Zeitung states that the Austrian Ultramone party is preparing considerable difficulties for Prince Schwarzenberg, by its zeal for an ob ject which the Christian world of Western Europe has for centuries abandoned— the recovery of Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre from the hands of the Mahometans. The purpose of the crusades is to be revived ; but it is to be pursued by the way of diplomacy, not by war. It is stated that the Catholic Powers, with the connivance of Austria, intend to obtain possession (it is not precisely defined how) of all the sacred spots of the Holy Land, which will be then made over to the Catholic Church. The order of the Holy Sepulchre will be raised to the import ance once p3ssessed by the Knights Templars. The Pope is to ba the Grand Master, and one Prince of every Catholic state of Europe is to be created Grand Prior. The movement, as far as it can be called one, is probably caused by the increasing influence of the Greek Church in the East, under the support of Russia. That Church, too, has made the possession of the Holy Sepulchre a special object of its ambition, as well as other localities in Syria, sacred by their associations. During the two past years, while the political power of the Papal Government was prostrated, the efforts of the mission • cries and agents of the Greek Church are said to have made great progress, and are gradually sapping the influence of the Latin Church. The feud; between the two churches have long been of the most bitter kind, and in Jerusalem, it is well known, have grown to a scandalous excess; a guard of Turkish soldiers alone keeps peace between them on certain festivals in the Church of the Sepulchre. The Germans state that the Greek Christians have really obtained the preponde rating influence in Jerusalem, and that any efforts of the Austrian ultra-Catholics to recover the lost ground will be met by the decided opposition of the Emperor of Russia, practically th e P o p e o f th e Gr ee k Church. Prince Schwarzenberg is not over-zealous in the cause of the Austrian Pietists, and will pro bably suppress the whole plan as soon as it becomes politically inconvenient. AN INFAMOUS CASE. On Thursday Mr. 11:il.Wakley held an inquest at the Goat and Compasses, New-road, St. Pancrae, on Julia Cooper, alias Jane Lochlaw, aged 19. The inquiry, flr reasons developed by the subjoined evidence, excited deep and unusual interest in the neighbourhood. The jury viewed the body at 67, Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy square. Sophia Dudley, who described herself as a widow. and the mistress of 67, Fitzroy-street, deposed that for the last ten years she occupied that house, and that three weeks ago she fetched deceased, whom she then knew for the first time, from Brighton. The occupants of her house were " ladies." Deceased told her that her name was Julia Cooper, but since her death witness heard that her name was Lochlaw. Witness fetched her from Brighton to make night-gowns and shifts, and to be a kind of companion. She died at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, in the presence of Mary Rutledge and several other females. Mr. Jones, sure geon, was also present at her death. Deceased suffered from a severe cold for the previous two weeks. A few hours before her death deceased complained of violent pains in her stomach and chest, for which witness ad ministered brandy and ev ery remedy that suggested it self, but she had no idea deceased was dying. When she was called to breakfast on Sunday she complained of ill ness, for which she got such remedies as she required, and witness persuaded her to go to bed again, which she did, and died at the hour mentioned. Deceased had no acquaintance in London, nor did any one visit her d uring the three weeks she was in witness's h ouse. Witness understood the deceased had a father som e _ where in Scotland; and on the morning of her decease witness was infermed that she had a friend in Chelsea College, whom witness acquainted with her death. Miss Mary Rutledge, a fashionably dressed female, covered with rings, and displaying stated that a splendid watch, she lodged in Mrs. Dudley's house, and was an unmarried lady. Although deceased lived in the same house, witness seldom spoke to deceased, as the latter seldom left her room. Deceased had a cold for the three weeks she was in the house. She complained o f pains in her side and stomach, and of shortness of breath. She sent for witness on Sunday morning, and told her that she had been very ill during the previous night. Oa Saturday night dece ase d s l ept by herself. Mrs. Dudley was very kind to deceased. Witness dined out on the Sunday on which deceased died. Witness was in the habit of visiting the nurse every morning, to see how her (witness's) baby was goin g on .—(S urprise.) Coroner—Why, you have sworn that you are a single lady, and now you say you have a baby. Elow is that? Witness (pertly)—O, yes. I have a baby ; I had it ten months ago. It's no reason, because la m a s i ngle wo men, that I should not have a baby. Examination resumed—When witness saw deceased on Sunday morning she told Mrs. Dudley that deceased was dying. James Wilcock, a Chelsea pensioner, who wore o n hi s breast a Waterloo medal , and was deeply affected during his evidence, stated that deceased's name was Jane Lochlaw. She was the daughter of very respectable parents at Dundee. Her father was alive, but her mo ther (here witness burst into tears) died soon after she gave birth to deceased. When a mere child deceased left her home, and witness adopted her. He brought her up morally, educated her, and apprenticed her to a milliner in Brighton. Witness had no idea that she was in London until Mrs. Dudley informed him of her death. Deceased visited him at Chelsea College, and always called him father. Ile loved her as a father. He last saw her alone seven weeks ago, when she visited him at the college. The same night she returned to Brighton by the train. He had no i dea that she was in London. Fie hod a deal of prop er t y b elonging to his child, which she left in his care. She made no will, and he would not keep it, for to do so would be dishonourable, as she had a father. (The veteran again wept.) CORONER—What is the amount of the property ? Witness (producing a bank b oo k containing deposits exceeding 1201.)—,Here it is, sir. CORONER—You are a brave, hon ourable man—(Hear, hear, from all sides of the court)—and it would be only right for you to keep it. Several jurors highly lauded the gallant old sol dier, whose feelings were so over2owered that Mr. Davis, the summoning officer, had to .help him out of the court. Mr. Jones, surgeon, was called to visit deceased on Sunday morning. She complained of pains all over her. He administered stimulants, after taking which she fainted, and died in eight minutes. He performed a post mortem examination. The body was bloodless and emaciated. She died of disease of the heart, and not of poison, as might have been supposed. CORONER—The surgeon's evidence settles the ques tion. It was my opinion, upon looking at the body, and after hearing a portion of the evidence, that deceased died of poison, which op inion was strengthened by certain reports spread regarding the house in which deceased died. But lam now satisfied that she died from natural causes, and that she met with no foul play. The jury fully concurred with the coroner, and re turned a verdict of Natural Death. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1851. RETURN OF THE ATLANTIC STEAMER, (From the Liverpool Mercury of Friday.) We regret to state that the United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, met with an accident during the heavy gales which she encoun tered on her outward passage, which necessitated her return to Cork. Most of our readers will be aware that the Atlantic left Liverpool on the 28th ult., at 4 P.M. She proceeded against unusu ally heavy westerly gales until the 6th of January; the ship behaving admirably, and the engines appear ing to be in fair order. At 630 of the 6th inst., the engines were stopped, and it was found that the centre beam or shaft was broken. This oc curred in lat. 46.12, long. 41.30. Captain West continued to proceed to the westward against heavy westerly gales till the 11 th January 11 P.M., in tending to run for Halifax, but finding the gale in creasing, and the ship making but little head-way, after ascertaining the wishes of the passengers, he determined to put the ship about, and run for Cork, which port was made on Wednesday last, at eight, P.M. The vessel is in good order, and the steward's department amply supplied. The news reached Liverpool last night, by the en gineer and purser of the vessel, who, with some of the passengers, crossed from Dublin to Holyhead yes terday morning. As no steamer will leave Liver pool for America before to-morrow week, the intelli gence of the safety of the Atlantic, and all those on board, will not reach New York until a month after her expected arrival, when probably all hopes as to her safety will have disappeared. We were favoured, by one of the passengers, with a copy of the following resolutions : Off Cork, Jan. 22, 1851. At a meeting of the passengers on. board the U. S. mail steamer Atlantic, James S. 'Wadsworth, Esq., cf New York, being called to the chair, and J. 11. Potten ger, of Maryland, appointed secretary, Henry Benja min, of Now York, C. B. Reece, of Pa., and Law rence, of Mass., were appointed a , committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, in view of the circumstancees which have compelled the vessel to return. "Resolved—That we feel it due to Captain James West to acknowledge our gratitude to him for his un wearied care and devotion to his duty under circutn stances of great responsibility (ho having been deprived, in a great measure, of the valuable and efficient services of his first officer, Mr. Shufeldt, by temporary illness), in taking the ship into port, as well ass for the great at tention and courtesy with which he laboured to promote the happiness and comfort of those under his charge. " Resolved—That we feel it likewise due to the pro prietors of the ship to bear testimony to the great strength and power with which she contended for nine days against an almost uninterrupted westerly gale of great severity, as well as to the admirable conduct of the vessel under sails, when suddenly deprived of h‘r motive power, by the breaking of the main abaft, having then made 1,800 miles on her western voyage. " Resolved—That it was the unanimous request of tho passengers that the ship should seek an easterly port, as it was found, after a trial of five days, that, en cumbered as she was with disabled machinery, she could not contend against the westerly winds which then pre vailed." " Resolved—That it is also due to. Mr. Rogers, the chief engineer, and his intelligent corps of assistants, that we should bear testimony to the ability and fidelity with which they discharged their arduous duties, as well previous to the accident as is their sub3equent efforts to repair the machinery." These resolutions are signed by the whole of the pas sengers. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Jan. 24.)

NO ARREARS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY. RROGDEN V. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case came before his Honour Vice - Chancellor Knight Bruce upon exceptions to the report of Master Dowdeswell, who had found, upon a reference to him by Vice-Chancellor Wigram, that the portion of the North Kent line, for which Mr. Brogden was contractor, was in a state fit for public traffic at twelve o'clock at noon, on Saturday, the 21st July, 1849. Mr. Matins and Mr. Bailey appeared in support of the exceptions on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Company; the Attorney-General, Mr. Page Wood, and Mr. Lewis, appeared for the plaintiff, in support of the Master's finding. In the course of the opening of the exceptions, The VICE 'CHANCELLOR said—Mr. Attorney-General, I believe that although this is Friday, and we are taking exceptions and further directions, under the new arrange ment, yet I am hearing this in due course; and that, in point of fact, without that arrangement this case would now be in hearing. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, Sir. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I see this is an exception to a report, which report was not made until the 4th of June in last year. How can there be any arrears? If this exception to a report made on the 4th of June, 1850, is coming ou now in its dae course, there can be no arrears. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL —They may have arisen shim The VILE CHANCELLOR --They are not arrears. A number of cases and the existence of arrears is a totally different thing. At present there is no arrear. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL—It is rather an apprehen sion that there will be. The VICE •CRINCELLOR —There is at present cer tainly no arrear. Ai the conclusion of the arguments, His HoNoun said that, perhaps, there was some defi ciency as to the trenelling or plugging, and in the nuin ber of chairs; but as to accident had occurrtd, and as the reduction of the number of chairs had been sanc tioned by the plaintiff's employers, told as pezfeetiou jn such works could not be expected, he thought it would be too stringent, that it would be unjust, to hold that the deficiency which he had mentioned interfered with the completeness of the line for any purpose. He therefore agreed in the conclusion of the Ma-ter. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 21. (Sittings i❑ Banco.) DOE DEM. BAINBRIGGE V. DAINDRIGGE. This important will case came on for argument. The issue is directed by the Master of the Rolls for an action brought to set aside a will made in 1818 by the late Thomas Bainbrigge, Esq., of Woodseat, Staffordshire, on the ground of insanity. The plaintiffs are Major-Ge neral Bainbrigge and the other nephews of the testator, and the defendant is John Arnold Bainbrigge, who claims under the will. The trial took place at the Last Stafford assizes, and occupied five days. The verdict was fur the plaintiff. The facts of the case have ben frequently published. Mr. Keating in the course of last term obtained a rule nisi calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL now appeared to show cause. The reading of the judge': notes occupied the whole day, and the Learned Counsel had not commenced his argument when the Court rose. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 24. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) SEATS ON THE ROOFS OF OMNIBUSES. The Court sat to. day at the Guildhall, Westminster, to hear appeals. It having Wen arranged that the question as to the legality of carrying passengers on a " longitudinal seat upon the roof of omnibuses " would come under discus sion to-day, in the appeal of SOPHIA. GAY WOOD V. A CONVICTION OF MR. HENRY, the Court was densely crowded by persons conneJted with the various conveyance companies. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone appeared on behalf of the Commissioners of Police to support the conviction; and Mr. M. Chambers, with Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bal lantine, represented the appellant. This was an appeal by the appellant, the proprietress of a Bayswater omnibus, against a conviction of Mr. Henry, one of the magistrates at the Bow-street police court, for an offence under the Hackney Carriage Act, 6th and 7th Victoria, cap, 86. It appeared that the offence committed by the appel lant was that of carrying passengers on a longitudinal seat running along the roof of the omnibus. Mr. BODKIN now, in support of the conviction, dis claimed, on behalf of the Commissioutas of Police, any feeling of desire to oppress the appellant, whose case would, of course, decide the future conducting of omni buses in regard to these seats on the roof, and de clared that the only object of their proceedings in the matter was to obtain for the public greater security and greater comfort as they travelled by these conveyances. Far from their wish, too, was it to deprive the poorer classes of the means of a cheap transit by these vehicles. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that the Act of Parliament made it necessary that every omnibus should have plainly written upon it the num ber of inside and outside passengers respectively it was constructed to carry, and it also made every owner carrying a larger number than the vehicle was constructed to carry i❑ pursuance of the regulations and specifications set forth in the Act liable to a penalty by way of fine. lie then urged that the meaning of the statute was, that " fit, proper, and covenient " sews were in all cases to be provided for the passengers, and submitted that the seats on the longitudinal bench on the roof of an omnibus could not be said to fall within the meaning of " fit, proper, cud conveniently," and then that a larger number of passengers were carried by means of those seats than the omnibus was in reality constructed for. A variety of witnesses were called to show that the seats were unfit, as well as difficult and dangerous to be attained, seeing that the approaches to them, whether by means of crawling up the back or of mounting by the front of the omnibus, were extremely inconvenient, and especially when the passenger had to descend. Some of the witnesses spoke, too, of the accidents which they themselves had either sustained or been witnesses of as the result of the difficulty of ascending to or descending from these roof seats. It was likewise proved that com plaints had been made by the inside passengers of the dirty boots of these roof passengers being allowed to be put upon the sill of the window in the door at the back of the omnibus as the wearers were either getting up or coming down from their elevated sitting?, and that it had not unfrequently occured that a gentleman, when alight ing from the inside, had been unpleasantly hastened in that operation by finding the feet of a descending roof rider fixing upon his hat or shoulders. It was further given in evidence that women were sometimes compelled to mount the roof, and that in their attempt to accom plish that object indecent exposures were of common oc currence. The case in support of the conviction having been brought to a conclusion, Mr. CHAMBERS, on behalf of the appellant, submitted that his Learned Friends had failed to make out any case within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, to the effect that the seats were either " unfit, improper, or inconvenient." The Learned JUDGE, after some discussion between the Learned Counsel as to a case being sent to the Court of Queen's Bench, said the Court were unanimous in the opinion that omnibus proprietors had a right to have thou seats along the roof of the vehicle so long as they provided the sixteen inches in width for each passenger, and had written upon the vehicle the number of pas sengers it was constructed to carry, those seats, of course, being " fi', proper, and convenient." They were also of opinion that these seats were " fit, proper, and conve nient." The only difficulty really appeared to be the means by which the passengers ascended to and descended from the roof. As to the provision of a proper mode of " ascending and descending," not one word was said in the Act, but the opinion of the Court upon that point was that the present system in that respect, as far as the evidence had as yet gone, was very bad, very in convenient, and very dangerous; but it was manifest that a remedy could be easily and readily found by means of the application of another step and a leathern strap or handle affixed to the hinder end of the omnibus, which passengers might use in their ascent to or descent from tho seats on the roof. lle saw a large number of per sons in court who appeared to be influentially connected with omnibuses, and he hoped they would adopt the suggestions which he, not in his legal character, but as a private individual, had just thrown out. Mr. CHAMBERS then at great length contended that the conviction could not be sustained. A large number of witnesses were called, who stated that having ridden almost daily on the roof of omnibuses they considered them perfectly safe, and that the means of ascent and descent were not dangerous. A proprietor of the name of Wilson said that his om nibuses had for a long time carried some thousands of passengers daily, and that he had never had any com plaint or accident. Another stated that he had been the manager of the Paddington Company, that during his time their staff of omnibuses made as many as 1,320 journeys daily, and that they had never had either complaint or accident. Mr. BODKIN replied. The COURT then allowed the appeal, and ordered the conviction to be quashed. The Court sat to an unusually late hour, and was op pressively crowded to the last moment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION- fi 0 USE. Thomas Brown, a person of gentlemanly appearance, was brought before Alderman Hooper upon the charge of having cheated at cards. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner for the defence. • The case, which lasted for a considerable time, excited much curiosity and int:rest. Mr. Hobler said, that on the preceding night a ball had been given at the London-tavern fur the benefit of one of the excellent institutions connected with the licensed victuallers of the metropolis, and that some of the company retired to rooms in which cards were played ; that the defendant joined a party at cards, and that, suspicion having been entertained that ho was Playing a "sharp" game, he was watched, and detected in cheating in a manner not to be doubted, and handed over to the custody of the officers of police, who con ducted him to the station-house. Mr. Hob'er said, the prosecction was instituted under the Bth and 9th Vic toria, cap. 17, which punished with transportation for seven years the misdemeanour with which the defendant was charged. Mr. Robert Whitehead, of No. 98, Wbitecross•street, licensed victualler, said—l was last night at the ball at the City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street. Games of cards were played in some of the rooms. I joined in the game of limited 100. The limit was half a guinea. The defendant played with me. There were three others who played, two of whom appeared to be friends of the defendant and were not known to me. The play began between eleven and twelve o'clock, and continued three or four hours. I played a couple of hours, during which time he was there. I was perfectly sober all the time, and I lost between 3/. and 4/. to the de'endant. I observed his mode of play, and watched him very narrowly in consequence of what was mentioned to me by a gentleman (Here the witness de scribed the game of loo.) I saw him take a card from behind hie collar. It was the ace of clubs. It had been dealt to him, and he had passed it into the cellar of his coat, inside. I seized that card in his hand, and I showed it to the gentlemen who were playing with him. Ido not know whether clubs were trumps at the time. There were about five playing at the time. The defendant wanted to make a shuffia of it. There was no officer then iu the room, but I went down and brought up one, and gave the defendant into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. Woatner-1 do not know who had put into the pool at the time. This occurrence put an end to the game. I prevented that card from being played. I did not wile the money in the pool, and I have not 6/. 10.1. of his. There was some drinking going on at the time. It was about five o'clock in the morning when it took place. I was one of the committee, and I fetched up two bottles of wine. There was some brandy and water also drunk. I do not know who was the dealer of the cards at the time, nor did I see the cards dealt round. I h a d s t o pp e d playing before that time. I had been booed, and I refused to pay a guinea, as I con sidered it to be an imposition. A person who lost 10/. at play had gone away. Re-examined—l am not skilled in the game. Alderman Hoopert—Was the defendant playing during the whohrtime you were losing your money ? Witness —He was. _ _ Mr. James Young, of No. 13, Buckingham -pl ace, p Fitzrosquare, licensed victualler, said—l joined in the game. We first played whit, Anti then 100. The de fondant was (me cf h.! pqr fr until we left off. We piKyed , I think, about haifa-dozen hours. I was quite sober. There were two players who, I believe, were connected with the defendant, but they were strangers to me. We began with eighteen penny 100, but, at the wish of the defendant, we raised it to a guinea. I lost nearly 101. at the table to the person who won, and who was five times out of six the poiso ner, for he either held the ace or the highest card. I ob served that he held the ace or the king more frequently than any other person at the table. I dealt at the time the defendant was detected. There were live of us plaing then at guinea 100, and I think I bed contributed to the pool at the time. I had paid three shillings, or a half-crown and a sixpence into the pool. As dealer, I turned up trumps. The game was broken up by the intimation given by Mr. Whitehead, whom I saw go and tske a card from the back of the defendant's collar. I had then dealt three cards to the defendant. If the ace had la, , en played it would have given him the game. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l did not make a misdeal that time. I turned up the three of clubs. I should not like to swear that Mr. Brown had taken up his cards at the time. There might have been half a dozen at the table looking on. I snatched up 51. 10s., the de fendant's money, and I believe another person picked up 21. I have got the 5/. 10,., which I took up in the ex citement of the moment. On his reexamination the witness said the defendant was at tunes 10-ed. Ile won upwards of 201. Alderman 1100 PER—Did he turn up the ace fre quently? Witness—lle did. I saw the king of hearts come out of his sleeve too. Mr. George Bennett, of the Archway Cottage, Upper Holloway—l was present in the card-room and saw Mr. Whitehead (the defendant) and otbers playing. My at. tention, as one of the committee, was drawn to the table at which the defendant sat. I olLpTved him for tell minutes, and saw all that was passing. There were, I think, six or seven, and among them were two others, bi sides the defendant, who were not known to me. I was so situated as to be able to see the cards wbich the de'endant held, and a gentleman had told me what be hail been doing. I first saw him put the ace of spades behind his collar, and when spades were not trumps, he did not play it, hut when they were he pulled it out and played it, NIL Whitehead was then playing. There were several other deals, and I saw the defendant put the card behind in the same place three or four different times. Whenever a card came out from behind his collar it was an ace. I saw it five or six different times. There was a little disturbance about some play, and Mr. Whitehead left the table and would not play any more. I communicated something to him of what I had ob served, and he stood with me; and I saw the defendant put another card behind his collar, and Mr. Whitehead immediately took the card out of his hand—the ace cf clubs. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l saw the ace of spades distinctly in the palm of his hand. People would consider when be put his hand to the back of his collar that he was scratching his head.—(A laugh.) Mr. Wontner—Why did you not go forward at once and expose what you say you saw ? Witness—l did not like to do it till I was fully convinced of the fact. Alderman HOOPER—Did you see the ace of spades put back by the defendant when spades were not trumps, and drawn out when they were? Witness—l did. Mr. 13. F. Fowler, proprietor of the Falcon, Easex• street, Bethnal-green, said—l was present in the card room, and I saw Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Young put down money and lose it. The prisoner took two trick , , and one of the strangers took one. I saw Mr. White head and Mr. Young lose frequently, and I warned Mr. Wnitehead to leave the table, being convinced that cheat. ing was going on. Mr. Whitehead went round, and soon afterwards said, " Gentlemen, you are playing with a blackleg!" and at the same time he disclosed the ace of club There was great confusion. Another gentle man who was playing lost 81. or 10L Mr. ,John Butter&id, a licensed victualler—l played and lost 3L The defendant won, and took the money six or seven times. I thought I could play moderately well, but he always got the ace or king to beat me.—(A laugh.) I did not think I had been cheated till I was informed. I had left off playing two hours. Alderman HOOPER—Youhaa bad enough, I suppose? Witness—Yes, quite enongh.—(Laughter.) The ALDERMAN then consented to take as bill two sureties for 1001. each, and the defendant to enter into his own stcurity to the amount of 2001, to appear at the Central Criminal Court ❑ext session. THAMES. William East, aged 18, of 39, London-street, Rateliff, was brought up for final examination. He stands chargt d with manslaughter in shooting Ribert Ablott, a la bourer, on the afternoon of the 16th inst. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for tria SOUTH WA RK. George Foster and Caroline, his wife, were placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckert, charged with neglecting their children, and causing them to be in a starving con dition. Mr. ATECKETT said, the case was one exhibiting great neglect of the children by their parents, and that the parochial officer had acted very properly in having it investigated. He should remand the prisoners, but would accept bail for the appearance of tt►e man, whose conduct, however blameable in the transaction, was not so bad as the woman's. The prisoners were then remanded, and it appears that Foster contrived to commit suicide yesterday morning in the county gaol. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

The demand to-day is better than of late, and we have to report a larger clearance at the fullest rates of last week. Barley, moderate supply; fine malting, free sale at rather enhanced rates; other de criptions in fair demand, at fully the prices of last week. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, with a fair demand, and late rates firmly supported. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 24.—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, and a moderate amount of business was done in wheat and flour at the full prices Oats and oatmeal met with little inquiry, but were not offered on lower terms.
