The depression of business on the Stock Exchange is unabated, and it has furth er prejudiced operations in the Funds and in several Foreign Stocks. Railways, however, are, for the time, less under this particular influence, the meetings of the Metropolitan and Mid land Companies being regarded as satisfactory, while the dividend of the South-Eastern Company has strengthened holders. The market is now steady. After to-morrow the Stook Exchange will be closed until Monday. This circumstance has had the effect of further diminishing the attendance.

Bacon, plumber, &c., of No. 28, Church-street, Soho, and No. 16, Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane, the landlord of Mr. Finlen, a well known attendant at public meetings, waited upon Mr. Knox this morning and said :—Your worship, I want to know what I.am to do. You granted me a . warrant, you may remember, to get rid of Finlen, and I want you to put it into execution. The broker has been into Finlen's place, and has valued his furniture at 25., there being nothing in the place but an old mattress, a cover, and a dish. When the doctor made his statement to you he said there was a bed in the place, but he made a mis take, as it's only an old mattress, and the broker says it's not worth taking away. Finlen told my missus that he would bring 100 persons and take the place by storm, and my missus told him that if he did she would let them have a pail of water over them, and that she was not afraid of them. Half a dozen men did come, and my minu s told them that she was not afraid of them, and that if they were not off like a shot she would let them have what she had promised them, and they would have had it too, for when my missus promises a thing she means it. I went to bed that night, and on getting up at a very early hour and going down stairs I found my missus sitting in the passage with a pail of water by her side. I said, " Well, missus, what are you waiting for ?'' " Oh," says she, " for Mr. Finlen and the Fenians." I then said, "What's that pail of water for?" and she says, " For the Fenians." Ho told her to go to bed and not mind Mr. Finlen and his friends, and she did so. The policeman on going into Finlen's room found that ono of the notices served on him had been torn to pieces. All I want is to got rid of my lodger, who still holds possession. Mr. Kdox—lf you come here to-morrow I shall be able to render you the assistance you require. Mr. Bacon thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. A boy, who gave the name of Thomas Pitt, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with atone throwing. A gentleman named George Jeffries, whose mouth was bleeding, and who was in considerable pain, said that a few minutes ago he was passing the end of Lucas-street, Commercial-road, and saw the prisoner and another boy throwing stones at each other. One of the stones hit him in the mouth. The prisoner, in defence, said that another boy was about to throw a stone at him, and he took it away and " chucked" it from him, and it struck the gentleman. Mr. Paget said that stone throwing in the public streets was a dangerous nuisance, and fined the prisoner 55., and in default of payment seven days' imprisonment. PARENTAL NEGLECT.—Harry Efford, aged 14 years, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 7s. 61, the monies of his father James Efford, a shoemaker of Calvary-street, Stepney. The prosecutor said that his son was a very wicked boy, whose bad character was proverbial in the neighbourhood, and that on Tuesday morning last he took a waistcoat from under his (the father's) pillow, and stole 7s. 6d. from one of the pockets. He did not see his boy again until yesterday, and then he gave him into custody. He had recently made a pair of boots for his son, and he had sold them and bought the old pair he was wearing. He wished his son to be sent to a reformatory. Mr. Paget said the prosecutor had brought his son to that court to be relieved of the burthen of maintaining him, and wished to set aside the great law of nature, and the laws of the country, which declared that every man should support his own offspring. He would not relieve the prosecutor in the way he desired, but send the boy to prison and to hard labour for 14 days. The father was answerable for the bad conduct of his son. If he had brought him up in a proper manner he would not have turned out dishonest. A man at the back of the Court here suggested that the prisoner was not the prosecutor's own son, or he would not have prosecuted him. _ _ Mr. Paget—A good suggestion. Is this your stepson ? The prosecutor—No ; my own son, born in law ful wedlock. The man at the back of the Court—Shameful ; it is a disgrace to you. The Prosecutor—l don't see that at all. MARKE7S-7 HIS DAY.

' (Before the Recorder.) THE CHARGE AGAINST MADAME RACHEL. Sarah Rachel Leverson, 43, married, was in dicted for unlawfully obtaining by false pre tences from Mary flicker Borradaile £1,400 with intent to defraud ; she also stood indicted with conspiring with intent to obtain £3,000 from the same person. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. 1 1‘1 , ntague Williams, and Mr. S raight prosezutel ; and Mr. Digby Seymour, Sergeant Parry, Sergeant Sleigh, an 1 Mr. Butler Rigby defende I the prisoner. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine s tid the actual nature of the charge was that of obtaining from time to time between July and Dec., 1866, divers sums of money and valuable securities, and for conspiring with other parties in defrauding Mrs. Borradaile. The complainant was a lady of very respectable position, and the widow of an officer. She was no doubt guilty of folly and vanity, but the person at the bar had preyed upon her weakness. The pri soner was au illiterate person, not being able either to read or write, and about three or four years ago a shop was obtained for her in New Bond-street. Madame Rachel placed the royal arms over the door. It professed to be a perfumer's shop ; but from the advertisements about soap and powder— (laughter)—which appeared in the papers, it was the profession of the prisoner to make ladies • Beautiful for ever." Mrs. Borradaile seeing these advertisements went to the prisoner for the purpose of improving her personal appearance, and finding Madame Rachel an extremely agreeable person she visited her very frequently, and ultimately it was told her it would take £l,OOO to effect a perma nent change for the better in her personal appear ance. Mrs. Borradaile objected to pay so large a sum, when she was told that Lord Ranelagh had fallen desperately in love with her, and this tale had the desired effect, as Mrs. Borradaile at once parted with the large sum of money, on the under-. standing that she was to bo the wife of Lord Ranelagh. Aladame Rachel was very anxious to keep Mrs. Borradaile from all persons who would be likely to expose the tricks that were being carried on, and she accordingly introduced her to her own solicitor, who was entrusted with the documents to raise the requisite sums of money. A receipt was read by the learned Sergeant, written by Mrs. Borradaile and signed by Madame Rachel, which stated that the sums of money received were for toilet requisites, bath preparations, soap, &c., until she was finished. (Laughter.) The name of Lord Ranelagh was constantly kept prominently before the prosecutrix, and she was introduced to a person whom she believed was Lord Ranelagh ; but as long as Mrs. Borradaile was in the possession of any property she was not let go by Madame Rachel. Whilst Mrs. Borradaile had a ring on her finger, a guinea in her pocket, or a shift to her back, Madame Rachel preyed upon her credulity. Letters were received by her purporting to come from Lord Ranelagh, all of which were written in the most outrageous terms, but having been defrauded of all her property the whole transaction exploded. He need hardly tell them that Lord Ranelagh's name had been imported into the case without his having the slightest know ledge that it had been done. He should call his lordship, who would indignantly deny all knowledge of the transaction, and he felt sure the jury would pronounce a verdict which would rid London of one of its foulest stains. Mrs. Borradaile, the prosecutrix, was then called and examined by Mr Montague Williams—She said ,hat she was the widow of an officer, Col. Borra daile, and that in 1864 she first went to Madame Rachel, and on first going she (prisoner) asked her how much she was going to spend. She said about £lO, and then she received a packet of powder to put into the water on taking her bath. Between the years 1864 and 1865 she had parted with £l7O to Madame Rachel. She, however, continued to visit the prisoner's establishment, when in 1866 the prisoner told hlr Lard Ranelagh had fallen despe rately in love with her. She said she did not know him, but the prisoner told her that his lordship was well acquainted with her, that he was very rich, and would make her a good husband. She thought that if she could get Lord Ranelagh for her husband it would be a good thing for her daughter. Rachel told her that Lord Ranelagh had " fancied" her, and that she would suit him. After this Rachel told her that she must be made " beautiful," or Lord Ranelagh would be lost to her. Rachel told her the cost would be £l,OOO. At the time she (prosecutrix) had money in the funds ; and shortly after Madame Rachel took her to a Mr. Haynes, a solicitor in the city. She went to the city to sell out stock to the amount of £1,300. This was done, but at a loss. She gave Mr. Haynes an order to hand £BOO of the money --£963 2s. 101.—over to Ma dame Rachel. The order to pay the money was signed by me in Mr. Haynes's office. She had received no consideration whatever for the £BOO. Madame Rachel told her she was to be mar ried to Lord Ranelagh by proxy. (Laughter.) She asked what that meant, and she was told "by letter writing." (Laughter.) She received some letters signed " William," and Madame Rachel told her they came from Lord Ranelagh. When she gave her the letter commencing " My own dearly beloved Mary," she gave her a pencil case and scent box, which she said originally belonged to Lord Rane lagh's mother. By the advice of Madame Rachel she changed her solicitors (Messrs. Lewis and Lewis), but that was not until after she had parted with all her property. She invariably received all her letters from Madame Rachel, and she believed they came from Lord Ranelagh. When she asked why they were signed " William ". and " Edward," when Lord Ranelagh's name was " Thomas," Rachel told her it was a matter of precaution. A number of letters received by the prosecutrix, all breathing ardent love, were here read, which she always believed came from Lord Ranelagh. Examination continued—All the answers to these letters were written by her, but were dictated by Madame Rachel. They were directed from Madame Rachel's shop. Madame Rachel told her she would require a quantity of lace, and she introduced her to a Mr. Bower, to whom an order was given for between £3OO and £4OO worth. The lace was sent to Madame Rachel. She (witness) never re ceived a single inch of it. She was arrested for the amount of the bill, and had to pay it. Eventually Madame Rachel told her that she had pawned the lace for Lord Ranelagh. She also told her it was necessary she should have diamonds, and sent for Mr. Pyke, a jeweller, who bought a quantity ci diamonds set as a coronet and necklace, to Madame Rachel's house. Madame Rachel placed them on her head, and asked her how she liked them. The price was £1,200, but at that time she had not the money; but she had some property at Streatham, and Madame Rachel took her to Mr. Haynes to em power her to dispose of it. The property realised £1,540, £1,400 of which she ordered Mr. Haynes to pay Madame Rachel. After the property had been sold, Rachel told her Lord Ranelagh would not allow her to have the diamonds from Mr. Pyke, and she had to pay £lOO to Mr. Pyke as a forfeiture for not purchasing them. After that Madame Rachel asked her whether she would allow her to pay the £1,400 to " Captain William Edwards." She gave her consent to such being done. " Captain Ed wards" was the name she knew Lord Ranelagh by. The money Rachel said had been paid to him for Volunteering purposes. She had, after she had given Madame Rachel the £1,400, given her addi tional small sums of money, always believing it was for Lord Ranelagh. The Recorder—Did she tell you who she wanted the money for ? Mrs. Borradaile—Yes; it was 41ways for Lord Ranelagh. Euraination continued—Madame Rachel told her she would require a trousseau for the marriage, and Mr. Procter, of Brompton, brought what was required, for which she paid £l6O. She never received one single article, and when she asked Madame Rachel about it, and how she was to do the thing, Rachel always told her to ask dear William for them. Rachel induced her to send for her plate from Cheltenham, and to bring it to her house, as she said it was better that every thing should be together —(laughter) —as she was going to be mar ried. She had also given her all her rings and jewellery " to pack" with the other things, but she had never seen them after she bad once parted with them. She had frequently asked Madame Rachel about them, but never could get any other answer than that she was to ask Lord Ranelagh for them. On one occasion when ehe was at Rachel's shop, Rachel brought hor a lighted cigar, which she said was Lard R tnelag,h's, an . I she told her his love was as warm as his cigar. (Laughter.) She subsequently executed a bond to the amount of £1,600, as Madame Rachel hal told her she ha :I given all her money to Lord Ranelagh, and that money was required for making her beautiful for ever. (Laughter.) She was arrested iu the month of - December, after she had executed the bond. Madame Rachel came to see her in pri son ; whilst there she executed another document at Rachel's suggestion in order to get released. She had never received any single article of her property back from Madame Rachel, neither had she received any consideration other than that she had mentioned for the money. She parted with the money solely on the representations of Madame Rachel that Lord Ranelagh adored her. She never would have parted with it but for those repre sentations. Cross-examined by Mr. Rigby Seymour—She objected to tell her age. She was married very young, and had been in India, and always moved in the best society. Could not recollect whether, when she went first to Madame Rachel's, she did not have much conversation. Rachel told her the groundwork of her process was not by stopping up the pores of the skin or by painting the face, which must be dis gusting to every right-minded person, but simply by cleanliness and the use of the Arabian bath. She did not tell her that her regular charge for her whole process was 1000 guineas. All that Rachel did for her in 1864-5 she paid her £l7O. She never ran a bill with Rachel for toilette requisites. She took her first bath in 1864. On the 16th of May, 1866, she was first introduced to Lord Ranelagh, and after that she took her baths at Davis-street, not in Madame Rachel's house. Madame Rachel had said something to her about gentlemen seeing her (prosecutrix) in the bath. She declined to say what it was. Mrs. Hicks never said she should not have a bath at Davis-street, because she had reported that she had been peeped at by gentlemen whilst so engaged. Mrs. Hicks might Swear that she had said so—she) may be hero for that purpose—but she to swear, in fact she h (p a r d os s e w c o u r t n ri , x) sh w e a i s ia q d ui n te ready to so. When she was first introduced to Lord Ranelagh he gave her his card. He was not there above five minutes, and all that was said was said by Madame Rachel. She believes Lord Ranelagh said something about some private theatricals going on at Beaufort House, but that they were not good enough for her to see. She always believed that Lord Ranelagh intended to marry her. During her married life at Brompton she could not say her husband had men tioned Lord Ranelagh's name. She had always lived a virtuous and prudent woman. She could swear he never visited at their house. Until Ma dame Rachel introduced her she never knew any thing about him. After Madame Rachel's treat ment her skin was perhaps a little improved, but not much. (Loud laughter.) She had nothing done to her hair ' • that was cut b y a l a d y i n Bond-strest, who had attended to it for the last sixteen years ; no one else ever touched it (Laughter.) It was all her own—(loud laughter) —and so was her complexion. (Loud laughter. She might, however, use a little of the " auriculous') for her hair now and then, but nothing else. (Loud' laughter.) She had never borrowed a shilling from Madame Rachel upon an I 0 U. She could not deny that the paper put into her hand (a receipt for £5OO from Madame Rachel) was in her hand writing, but she could not say how she came to write it. She knew she never had a shilling from Madame Rachel by way of loan. Rachel had al ways immense influence over her. Another long list of sums, amounting to £1,660,1was altog e th er a fiction, as she had never had a single penny from Madame Rachel. Another letter, dated George street, addressed to Mr. Haynes, asking him to pay out of the £1,600 he would receive over £l,OOO to Rachel, and directing him to obtain various bills and I 0 U's from her, was also in her handwriting, butshe could not say bow she came to do it. (Laughter.) Madame Rachel, she supposed, had bewitched her. She controlled her in everything, and dictated everything she wrote on paper. She never told Mr. Haynes that she was about to marry Captain William Edwardes, her cousin, who was a relative of Lord Kensington's. The Captain Wil liam Edwardes she thought she was going to marry was Lord Ranelagh. Madame Rachel never accused her of squandering her money on her paramour. She was not quite certain about ordering some shirts a t R ogers ' s ; b ut s h e b e li eve d that Maame Rachel and Lord Ranelagh wished her to select some shirts, neckties, and socks for him. She now knew Lord Ranelagh was not so rich as Madame Rachel had stated. Mr. D. Seymour—That he was hard up for a shirt ? (Laughter.) Winess—No ; that he was not rich. Mr. D. Seymour—And that's the reason you ordered some shirts for him. Some letters w ere h ere read bearing the prose cutrix's signatu re , in one of which she said her brother-in-law-w as i n search of his lordsh i p, t h at he had bought a p ortrait of him, and d id not lik e his ugly nose. (L aughter.) And in anot h er t h a t he (Lord Ranelagh knew " the overland route to her heart" — (laughter) — a ll of which she said were written at the direction of Madame Rachel. In every letter that she wrote Madame Rachel always dictated, and told her to trust her and she would never repent it. She had written to the Plough Hotel to prepare a bed for her and a gentleman, but she expected the gentleman was Lord Ranelagh, and that they were both to go there after they were married, but, like all the rest, that was done at the dictation of Rachel. She never was in com pany with Lord Ranelagh at Cheltenham, but there was a man there who lived at the corner of High street who had cut her hair once or twice, and Madame Rachel had told her that Lord Ranelagh had been shaved by that barber. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Seymour reacting a letter—My dear William,—lt is ve r y ki n d o f y ou to take care of Madame my my c o o w m n b h a n n i d r— fr y i o se u tt d e o — n c t lou m d ea la n ug t l o ite s r a ) y —which is Rachel said that ? Witness--Yes, indeed she did. (Laughter.) I'll take my bonnet off and show you if you like. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Digby Seymour then called upon Mr. Haynes, the solicitor, to produce a number of letters of the prosecutrix, but the learned judge said he should not give directions for such to be done, as he thought they were privileged commu nications. Re-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—All the letters referred to in this case were written from time to time at Madame Rachel's,and were directed to Captain Edwards, care of Madame Rachel. She had no notion that Madame Rachel was keeping those letters. She always left the letters with Madame Rachel and received the answers to them from her hands. She had never during her residence in London received any communication from " William." Madame Rachel alwayg said, when she took the letters, that she was going to see her affianced husband. Sheknew nothing of the imaginary personages referred to in the corre spondence. All was the pure invention of Rachel. There had been some talk about persons peeping into the bath ; one person especially had been coupled with her name. Sergeant Ballantine—Who was that ? Witness—Am I obliged to mention the name, Sergeant Ballantine:l Yes. Witness—Then it was Lord Ranelagh's. Madame Rachel told her that in the eyes of the Almighty Lord Ranelagh was her husband, as he had seen her more than a dozen times in her bath. Sergeant Ballantine—ls it true that you have had large sums of money from Madame Rachel ? Witness—lt is entirely and totally untrue to say that I have ever borrowed a single penny from Madame Rachel. Madame Rachel always told her that she had placed the money Rho had received from her at Scott's bank for Lord Ranelagh's use. The further hearing of this case was adjourned until to-morrow, OLD COUR r. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) THE MURDER IN NORTON FOLGATE. Alexander Andrew Mackay, 18, labourer, was indicted for the wilful murder of Emma Grossmith. It will be recollected that the husband of the unfortunate deceased kept an eating house in Artillery Passage, Bidhopsgate-street, and that the prisoner was in his employ as a sort of general aervaut. On the Bth of May the deceased woman was found in an insensible state fr. )m ex tensive injuries that had been inflicted on her by some person, and the kitchen in which she v pas dis covered was in many places covered with blood. The blows, it was supposed, had been indictee 1 with an iron bar or rolling-pin, and the injured wutuan lingered in a state of insensibility until the 18th of May, when she died. The prisoner was suspected from the first, as he was not to be found on thereturn of Mr. Grossmith from market on the day of the outrage. Dr. Lubuck attended the deceased, and at one time thought she would recover, but such was not the case. The prisoner was then sought for but without success, and although the police had been furnished with a photograph of the prison er all efforts to discover his hiding were unavailin 7.. In the month of July the prisoner was confined In Maidstone G ►ol for soma petty offence, under the name of George Jackson, and on the 28th of that month, one of the warders, suspecting the p i soner to be the person accused of murder, asked him his name, when he repliel " Jackson." lie was closely questioned, and toll he was su , pected as being the person who stood accused of murdering Mrs. Grossrnith, when he confessed that his real name was Alexander Andrew Mackay, and he was accordingly sent to Lnndou to undergo examination. It then appeared that there had been a quarrel between the deceased and the prisoner previous to the committal of the brutal outrage, and from other circumstances be coming known, he was accordingly committed for trial on the capital charge. From the evidence it appeared that fault had been found by the deceased with the prisoner for the manner he did his work, and the ill-feeling evidently led to the terrible out rage which terminated in the death of the unfor- ' tunate woman. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned Judge passed sentence of death in the most solemn manner. FIRE AT NO.RnIUMBERLAND ROUSE. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day YORK RACES—Tnis DAY.

Betting -100 to 30 on Vespa inn, and 10 to 1 bar one. A delay of dully fifteen minutes occurred at the polt, owing to the fractiousness of the Vouralak colt, but even tually the flag was lowered to a moderate start, the Lady Audley filly immediately taking up the running., with a slight advantage of Waffi Vespasian going on third, with Vouralak colt fourth, Tyuedalo being a long way in the rear. The Lady Audley filly and Waffles entered the bend for borne abreast of each other, the favourite still lying third. AbJut a quarter of a mile fro :u home, the Lady Aulley filly was in difficulties, and the favourite drew up to Wallies, heading hint outside the . distance, where Honesty ran into second place. Vespasian then drew gradually ahead, and won in the commonest of canters by fifteen lengths, the remainder pulling up when pursuit was hopeless. The Lady Audley fitly finished ' half a length in front of IVaffles, Tynedide was fourth, Honesty fifth, th Vouralak colt sixth, whilst Cawnpore and the Rambling Katie colt did not pass the post.

Immediately the flag was lowered Quality took up the running, leading at a moderate pace with a slight advantage of Maesllwch, Harebell, and Leonie, the favourite being succeeded by Lady Highthorn and Mysotis, and the rear being brought up by Bessie Dixon, who appeared unable to live at even the moderate pace. After about a hundred yards had boort covered Quality dropped back, and the command was taken by Maesllwch, who had in attendance Harebell, Leonia being some distance in the rear of the latter, with Quality at her quarters, Lady Highthorn and Frolicsome succeed ing, and Bessie Dixon dropping still further into the rear. After going about a quarter of a mile, Maesllwch drew clear of Harebell, Leonia decreasing the distance between her and Mr. Stewart's filly. As they entered the straight Maesllwch began gradually to draw back to her horses, and about a quarter of a mile from home she was in diffi culties. Leouie then drew to the front, Frolicsome and Mysotis simultaneously taking their places in the van. At the distance the finish was left tothefavourite, Maesllwch, and Mysotis, but Leonia stalling off Mysotis'a challenge opposite the stand, won cleverly by a neck. Frolicsome was fourth, Harebell fifth, Bessie Dixon sixth, Quality next, and Lady Highthorn last.
