I.'ne Bank returns show some considerable changes but on the whole its own position is strengthened rather than otherwise. Although £150,000 gold have been sent in during the week, the bullion has declined to a sm a ll extent. This probably arises from harvest re quirements, which always produce a large circula tion of coin. On the other hand the Reserve has enlarged considerably, until it now reaches nearly el even millions and a half. A prominent feature in the return is the decrease of £600,000 in the Govern 'Bent securities, owing to the repayment of tempo rary advances ; and, in consequence the public de posits are comparatively low, but it is yet six weeks front the end of the quarter. That money has been in little or no demand may be seen from the almost stationarybrivate amounts of the private securities and the clposits.

It is increased by the settlement on the Stock Exchange on the 14th, which was rather heavy, as it involved the closing of nume rous transactions previously to members leaving on vacation. Yet, independently of this, there is reason to believe that the ordinary mercantile clearings are quietly increasing.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN COMMITTED FOE ROBBERY.—Thornas Fisher was charged before Mr. Knox with the following robbery :-- The prisoner was seen by Mr. Beckett, of No. 22, Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane, to go up to a gig standing at the corner of White Lion-street, Seven Dials, and take a coat from it and run off. Beckett gave information to Mr. George James Russell, of No. 239, Edgware-road, the owner of the gig and coat, and subsequently seeing the pri soner gave information to James Capes, 132 F, who took the prisoner into custody. Barnes, the gaoler, said the prisoner was at large at the present time on a ticket-of-leave, there being twelvemonths of his sentence still unexpired. The prisoner, who remained perfectly silent, was committed for trial. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—John Pennington, a young man, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a watch and chain, of the value of £l5, the property of Mr. John Wellspring, chemist, of No. 3, Chandos-street, Covent-garden. - The prosecutor said he was passing the chapel in Orange-street, at half-past nine at night, when a man, he believed to be the prisoner, pulled his watch and chain, of the value of £l5, from his pocket and made _off. He called " Stop thief." He would not swear the prisoner was the man, but he believed he was. Frederick Haggert, engineer at the Government Water-works in Orange-street, and who has cap tured several thieves and caused them to be brought to justice, said that he saw three men come out of Castle-street into Orange-street, and one of them said " You must look out and be quick." Ile went ruund the corner and heard a cry of " Stop thief !" and saw the prisoner running along the street to wards him as hard as he could run. lie ran after the prisoner and caught him, when he said that he was running after the thief. Richard King, 38 F R, proved receiving the pri soner into custody, but nothing was found upon him. Barnes, the gaoler, said the prisoner had been known for years as a thief, and he was the person who robbed Mr. Combe, the magistrate, while on his way to this court. Mr. Knox committed him for trial. THAMES. A TICKET.OF-LEAVE WOMAN.—Elizabeth Drum mond, a ticket-of-leave convict, charged with violating the conditions of her ticket-of-leave, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, who oa the first examination expressed a wish that the case should not be pressed. Inspector Gee, of the K division, handed a note to the magistrate from the Commissioners of Police, and said they did not wish to press the charge, on the understanding that the prisoner re ported herself regularly every month at the station house in the division in which she lived. Mr. Paget said that the prisoner would have to serve fourteen months' additional imprison ment under her sentence of five years' penal servitude if he sent her back to prison, which ho certainly must have done if the inspector had pressed the charge. The prisoner was indebted to the consideration and mercy of the Commissioners of Police, and not to him, for he must have done his duty and sent her back to a convict prison if the charge had been pressed. lie hoped the prisoner would seriously ponder over her situation, and avoid giving offence in future. She had youth and health on her side, and must avoid bad company, and late hours, and, above all, report herself at the station-house once a month. The Prisoner—l will, sir. You shall never see me before you again. Mr. Paget—Now show your gratitude, and con duct yourself properly in future. The prisoner expressed her thanks to the Corn missioners of Police and retired. MARKETS-7HIS DAY. CORN. The trade in every department is dull, and prices rather weaker. At Mark-lane to-day the attendance was small and the inquiry limited. English wheat in small supply and held for Monday's arms, but very little demand. Foreign wheat not pressed for sale, but the tendency was in favour of buyers. Barley, beans, and peas, same as on Monday. Oats in large supply but fair demand, buyers having occasionally the turn of price in their favour. Seeds of all kinds dull. NENVGATE AND LEADENHALL. Meat.—The dead meat trade is completely altered by the fine weather for pasturage. Supplies are very light and prices quite 4d per stone higher. Wo quote beef, 3s 4d to 4s 8d ; mutton, 3s Gd to 4s 8d; veal, 4s to 48 10d; pork, 4s to 5s ; lamb, 3s 8d to 4s 4d per stone. Poultry.—The poultry trade has not varied materially, Fowls sell cheaply. Irish, is 61 to is 9d ; Essex, 2s to 2s 6d ; Surrey chickens, 2s 6d to 3s ; large fows, 4s 2d to 4s 6d; pigeons, 6d to 91. Game.—Grouse, 3s 6d to 4s. Eggs.—French, Gs 6d per 120. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar—This market is more freely supported, and prices rather easier. Floating cargoes rather more in quired for. Coffee.— The demand for good colonial coffee ()outlaws firm, and the prices are steady. Rice is dull, but somo small parcels in auction sold at former rates, BOROUGH HOP. Messrs. Henry Turnbull and Co. report the market quiet for all sorts. New ones sell slowly at from 9Us to 103 s. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21.—Sales probably 15,000 bales. Market improving.

We have nothing to learn from the new empire, but we have much to learn or avoid in America. We sometimes hear now-a-days of the Ameri canisation of our institutions. It is a favourite bugbear of Conservative addresses, and we confess it is a thing to be dreaded. But our institutions will not be thus Americanised until our temper and habits have been already impregnated with the spirit of which institutions are but the expression. Whether there is any danger of this may be judged by those who deprecate the result. When it is declared that Judas Iscariot was, on the whole, a gentleman compared with Mr. Gladstone, and a nobleman of the highest standing presides at the meeting where the declaration is made, and lets it pass without comment, we may ask whether Americanisation has not begun. When the managers of a contest in a midland county circu late statements imputing to Mr. Gladstone an under itanding with the Society of Jesuits, and declare that he agreed to advocate the disestablishment of the Irish Church two years ago in a conference with the Pope of Rome, we may ask again whether Americanisation has not begun. When the contest for the representation of East Kent is disgraced by the issue of such mock addresses as have been published in the name of a Liberal candidate, we may once more ask whether Americanisation has not begun. It is possible that similar offences have been com mitted on the other side, though we do not remem ber to have heard of them from Conservative organs. But whether committed by both sides or not, we are certain that the party which resorts to such expedients will suffer from them. The temper of Englishmen is not yet so debased as to view these expedients with compla cency, much less with admiration. They excite an instan taneous and vehement repugnance, which gives place only to a conviction that the cause must be bad which seeks assistance and support in such devices ; and we exhort each party, as it values success, if it does not value self respect, to abstain from acts which damage itself and would degrade the nation if it approved them. The Post thinks that the speeches of Lord Amberley and Mr. Ayrton, taken together, may be received as a very complete programme of the policy which gives life and soul to the Liberal party, and upon which, if upon any thing, it must rely to base its unity in the next political campaign. The ascendancy of the Whigs is over, the time for coquetting with Liberalism past, and the only wise course will be for all sections to unite frankly in adopting for the whole party such ' opinions as will stand wear and tear. The necessity for this would have been evident even under the old con dition of circumstances, but now that the constitution of the country has been altered in so democratic a sense it is indisputable, and it should be recognised without hesi tation. The question of the Irish Church is one upon which no Liberal can entertain any sort of doubt. It is essential that the different members of the party should, without delay, make up their minds on the subject of education; while electoral ques tions, such as the personal payment of rates, the distribution of members, and the ballot, will require attention. To stand still upon the old Whig lines would be even more fatal to the party in these days than to re trograde. If it is to be united it must adopt and avow a bold and progressive policy, and if it is not united it must be content to remain as powerless in the forthcoming session as it was in the last. The Herald reminds us that when conscientious people are invited to make a great sacrifice for the attainment of what is alleged to be an enormous and preponderating good, they have to ask themselves, before complying with the request, three or four very serious questions. First of all they have to inquire if the sacrifice be one that is not in itself illegitimate, and never could be anything else. Supposing this preliminary difficulty got over, they next have to find out if the attainment is sure to be achieved by the sacrifice, or whether one sacrifice will not entail another, the pos sible illegitimacy of which will then in turn have to be considered, without there being any certainty of their ever getting any nearer to the object in behalf of which so perplexing a line of conduct has been ventured on. This is no abstract case to which we invite the atten tion of the public. It is their case at the present moment. It is the case of the Protestant Church in Ireland, which they are pressingly solicited to sacrifice to the pacifi cation of that country. Now, if the Irish have for so long and so unremittingly been anything but a pacific community, and England has suffered so severely from its turbulent tendencies that were the promise of its turn ing over a new leaf dependent on our consenting to some one condition, we can scarcely conceive the condition dis agreeable enough to make us Shrink from concession. We think we may go so far as to say that if the sacrifice of the Irish Church, as far as the sacrifice was consistent with conscience—and even then it would be about the greatest sacrifice that could be demanded of us—were demonstrably certain to give lasting tranquillity and concord to a most discordant section of the United Kingdom, we should be sorely tempted to make it. But the sacrifice would be useless ; other questions are in the rear, as the Liberals themselves confess. The Telegraph says the beginning of Reform, as surely AS the beginning of strife, is like the letting out of water. It is impossible to remove one abuse or injustice, and then calmly go to sleep and forget that others exist and loudly call for removal. The spirit which has governed the first steps towards Reform must, by the necessity of its being, urge both Reformers and reformed to press forward in the same path. That great change in the political relations of the people of these islands which was effected in 1832 brought in its train those rapid advances in commercial legislation, ecclesiastical freedom, and social development, which have shed such brilliancy upon the last forty years of almost uninterrupted peace. And the reform accomplished in the past and present year ought not to be less prolific than that of which it was th• consequence and completion. Indeed, it has perhaps been more clearly seen by those who honestly laboured to per fect the legislation of 1867 and 1868, than it was by the men of 1830, that the measures for which they strove were not ends, but instruments. Those men assailed and destroyed a huge political corruption, primarily because it was an injustice to the natio n ; these, while extending the great redress of 1832 to the altered necessities of the present day, have had wider . and higher views. The franchise legislation of 1867-68, therefore, being, as it were, but the prelude to more extended and more search. ing measures of Reform, it becomes of the greater impor tance to observe the notes sounded in the addresses of members or the question; of electors, and thus indicating the theme of debate in the next Parliament. That there should be any signs of resolution to promote religious equality, to break down the secular barriers against a national system of education, to reduce the expenses and eradicate the abuses of the depart- ments, is easily un d erstood. N or I s it surprising that there is a strong determination to lose no time in claiming the full measure of that Reform which the checks and ingenious devices of Mr. Disraeli have subjected to such needleeis abatement. It is more remark able to find another demand falling from so many lips and flowing from so many pens. There is a kind of consensus of opinion among Liberal candidates, of all shades of opinion, in favour of protecting the elec. toral rights of the new constituency by the ballot. Until the men who wield the great levers of power derived from land and capital shall cease to use them for illegiti- mate political ends, it is against those men, and not against the new constituency, that the safeguard of the ballot is demanded. 'Unfortunately, within the last week or two the magnates of the soil and coin, from so-styled "princes of the land" downwards, have been conducting themselves in a manner- which must give the true friends of the tenant and the workman reasonable ground for apprehension that the new electors will not, any more than the old—nay, will much less than the old—be per. !pitted to record their votes freely and conscientiously. And to this fact, no doubt, is due much of the strength and emphasis with which the old cry for protection to the voter has been revived—much of the truly remarkable awnt which it has received. The Standard considers it one of the peculiar charms of Lord Amberley's character that he is always open to con viction. He may differ from you to-day, but if you can show him a very good reason why he should turn his back upon himself, he will be heart and soul with you to-morrow. On the occasion of his candidature for Leeds, the noble lord was sorely perplexed about the six-pound franchise, and eventually announced that, with his then perceptions, ho conld not vote for it ; but the suasive eloquence and the powerful logic of the Radicals made a convert of him in less than twenty-four hours. They passed a resolution to the effect that Lord. Amberley was n6t the man for Leeds; and what was the res:dt ? His lordship took a stroll through the town Om next morning, and was enabled to announce to a public meeting the same evening that his familiar experience of the artisan classes of Leeds warranted him in retracting his determination of a few hours back, and in voting for the six-pound franchise. Whatever may be the circumstances which have brought about the result, it is the fact that Lord Amberley is now at the disposal of the electors of South Devon. He comes forward under peculiar circum• stances. The sentiments and traditions of the constituency deprive a Liberal candidate of the faintest chance of success unless he can manage to enlist upon his side that strong family Whig influence which Lord Amberley's relationship may enable him to command. Secure of this, Lord Amberley rushes down to Plymouth as a candidate upon immaculately pure principles. The Standard dis cusses Lord Amberley's views on different matters, but would like to know more of his new crochet, the Malthwian theory, CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE CHARGE AGAINST MADAME RACHEL. This extraordinary trial was resumed this morn ing. The first witness called was Charles Linton, a youth in the service of Mr. Lewis, linendraper, Holborn, who said he was for merly in the office of Mr. Taylor, an attorney. After office hours he used to go to Madame Rachel's to fill up his hours of employment. He used to write letters for her, and when he did so on one occasion there was a young man and Madame Rachel's daughter present. lie always gave the letter he wrote to Aldine. Rachel. He recollected copying a letter, which, when done, she handed to the young gentleman called " Edward," who, he thought., was Mdzne. Rachel's son. This person said the writing was too much like a school boy's, and that therefore he would write a better one. Something was said about Mrs. Borradaile coming. This took place in January, '67. Toe letters handed to him are those he copied from. lie recollected the one marked " 12" particularly. By Mr. Digby Seymour—fle was examined at Marlborough -street, but the letter 12 was not shown to him. 11e first saw letter 12 at Mr Lewis's office on Saturday last. Ile had a perfect recollection of the letter. He had been in the em ploy of a Mr. Taylor, who had some disputed ac count with Madame Rachel, but he had never been told by her or any one not to come again to her house on the ground of impertinence. Mr. Joseph Haynes said he practised as a solici tor at Palace-chambers, Westminster. He was the mortgagee of the house Madame Rachel occupied. He first became acquainted with her in 1866, when she told him that a lady owed her £BOO, and that if he would make an appointment she would bring her the next day, in order that arrangements might be made to sell out some stock, and out of the proceeds he was to deduct the rent due to him, £126, for six . mouths. Stock to the amount of over £9OO was sold out on the 6th of June, and the money was placed iu the bank. His first acquaintance with Mrs. Borradaile commenced on the 14th of that month, and then the matter talked about was the realising some property for the payment of some debts for which she was being sued. He raised £1,340, between £BOO and £9OO of which was paid to Madame Rachel, and the remainder was left in his hands. He ultimately paid that amount also to Madame Rachel. A mortgage deed was then executed to him of some property, as he had a balance of £544 against Mrs. Borradaile. The property was afterwards sold and realised about £1,400, out of which he deducted the balance due to himself, viz., £544, and the remainder he paid to Madame Rachel. By Mr. Digby Seymour—Mrs. Borradaile told him she required money to pay her debts, and that she owed Madame Rachel £BOO. She also told him she had given bills and I 0 U to Madame Rachel, which were to be given up when the £1,400 Was paid. She said she was going to be married to her cousin, Capt. William Edwards, who was a relative of Lord Kensington's. Madame Rachel remon strated with Mrs. Borradaile about her extrava gance as he had previously done. lie should never forget the scene that took place. Madame Rachel told Mrs. Borradaile that she was squandering her money on her paramour. He told Madame Rachel she ought to be ashamed of herself for using such expressions. By Sergeant Ballantine—The reason the letters in his possession had become public was that he wished one particular letter to be seen by the magistrate, and it being in a bundle with others, he handed them in, and he had never been able to get them back. He had told Madame Rachel that she would oue day have to account for the large sums she had re ceived from Mrs. Borradaile, and that it would be for her own protection that everything should be clear and plain. Thomas Reynold Jones, Viscount Ran elagh, said —I know Madame Rachel. I have frequently been in her shop. I never empowered her to use my name in any way - , neither have I ever authorised her to borrow £lO for me. I have never passed by the names of either " William" or "Edward." The letter written upon a sheet of paper bearing a coro net never came from me. I never use paper stamped with my arms. I have some with a monogram, but none of the d_scription that has been spoken of. Mr. Digby S .ymour—l must ask you some ques tions. What took you to Madame Rachel's shop? Viscount Ranelagh—l shall be very happy to 'cell you, as I have been so enamelled with this scan - dal— (loud laughter)—that I shall be glad to give every information and explanation in my power. Mr. D. Seymour—What took you first to her shop ? Viscount Rtnelagh—l never went there to be enamelled. (Laughter.) Mr. D. Seymour—Say what took you there. Viscount Ranelagh—Originally curiosity. I wished to see the person who had got such large sums from various ladies. I made a few trifling purchases on the occasion. After that, as Madame Rachel received trifles in china and other matters for sale on commission, and as the shop was in the neighbourhood of my residence, and the dour was always open, I occasionally went in, as I have done various other shops. I am very anxious that everything should be known about this most un pleasant affair. Mr. D. Seymour—Did you ever give your card to Mrs. Borradaile?—Never. Did you once see Mrs. Borradailo iu Madame Rachel's shop ?—I did. Were you ever in her company more than once ? —Yes, in the family solicitor's office, but never to speak to her. Is it a fact that she was once introduced to you ? —I have no recollection of such a circumstance. When did you first communicate with your soli citor ?—On the 27th of Nov., 1867, in consequence of the claim of . Mrs. Borradailo. Had it come to your knowledge that your name had been mentioned to Mrs. Borradaile ?--In directly ithad, but I communicated with my solici tor in consequence of the claim of Madame Rachel ; that was the first letter I ever received from Mrs. Borradaile. Subsequently I received eight or six. I have them all here. Will you let me ace them ?-1 shall only be too glad. Sergeant Ballantine—You say you have never handed your card to Mrs. Borradaile ?—I have already said so. Do you recollect ever being at Madame Rachel's when any other lady was present ?—Yes, I think so, once. Was it Mrs. Borradaile ?—I rather think not. I know Madame Valeria, the sister of Mr. Fechter, the actor, was there. Then your only intercourse with Madame Rachel was calling at her shop?-That is all. I have never met her, or have seen her or her daughters. She has a shop in another part of London, and also in Paris, but I have never been in either of them. Capt. William Edwards said his family was dis tantly connected with Mrs. Borradaile's. lie never heard of the matter which was now the subject of investigation by the court until he saw it in the public newspapers. Sergeant Ballantine—May I ask the connection that exists between the two families ? Capt. Edwards—l have been told by some of the elder branches of my family that my great-grand father and Mrs. Borradaile's great-grandfather were cousins. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Cope, brother-in-law of the prosecutrix, said he had called upon Madame Rachel to know fur what she had received such large sums of money from Mrs. Borradaile, and whether there was any truth in the proposed marriage with Lord Rane lagh. She said she knew nothing about it ; and he then told Madame Rachel he should place the whole affair in the hands of a solicitor. No claim was made by Madame Rachel for any money owing her from Mrs. Borradaile. Mrs. Borrodaile recalled, and, in answer to Mr. D. Seymour, said she recollected writing a letter containing a card,'.l9ut she could not say whether it passed through the post. The letter was dictated by Madame Rachel, but she (prosecutrix) was cer tain she never posted it. A number of other letters were then pulin, the tenour of which was that her family were making inquiries about the matter, that she had told them as little as she could, and complaining that her " naughty old Tommy" had given up her letters to her solicitors. All these Mrs. Borrodaile said she wrote at the dictation of Madame Rachel. She had frequently asked Madame Rachel the reason for writing such stupid letters, but she never got any good reason. This was the case for the prosecution. In answer to the Recorder, the prosecutrix said that in writing to " Tommy," telling him of her love for William, she believed the object was to create jealousy. (Laughter.) Mr. Dighy Seymour then opened the case for the defence. The case was preceding when we went to press. [The following is the concluding portion of yesterday's evidence : Mrs. Borrodaile s dd—Madame Rachel told her she would require a trousseau fur the marri and Mr. Procter, of Brompton, brought what was required, for which she paid £l6). 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 had 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 oho was at Rachel's shop, Rachel brought her a lighted cigar, which she said was Lord Ranelagh's, and 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 had told her she had given all her money to Lord Ranelagh, and that money was required for making her beautiful for ever. (Laughter.) She was arrested in 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. Digby Seymour—She objected to tell her age. She was married very young, and had been in India, and always moved in the beat 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 pl7O. She never ran a bill with Rachel for toilette requisites. She took her first bath in 1861. 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 here for that purpose—but she (prosecutrix) was quite ready to swear, in fact she had sworn, she had not said 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 itanelagh'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- men her skin was perhaps a little improved, but not much. (Loud laughter.) She had nothing done to her hair; that was cut by a lady in Bond-street, 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 " auriculons" 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 tshe 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 altogether 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 herhandwriting, butshe could not say how 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. llaynes 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 at Rogers's ; but she believed that Madame 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. Mr. D. Seymour—reading a letter—My dear William, — It is very kind of you to take care of my comb and frisette—(loud laughter)—which is my own hair—you don't mean to say Madame Rachel said that ? Witness—Yes indeed she did. (Laughter.) I'll sake my bonnet Off and show you if you like. (Loud Laughter.) Air. D'igby Seymour then called upon Mr. Haynes, the solicitor, to produce a number of letters of the prosecutrix, but the learned judge said be 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 Ed war d s , 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 always said, when she took the letters, that she was goingto see her affianced husband. Sheinew nothing of the imaginary personages referred to in the corre spondence. All was the pure inveßton 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—Yeti. 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 Ballan tine—ls it true that you have had large sums of money from Madame Rachel ? Witness—lt is entirely and tot dly 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 she had received from her at Scott's bank for Lord Ranelagh's use. The further hearing of this case was adjourned until to-marrow. L The youth Mackay was tried yesterday and con demned to death for the murder of Mrs. Grossmith, the wife of the coffee-house keeper in Norton Folgate.
