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 on the first examination expressed a wish that the case should not be pressed. Inspector Gee, of the K division, banded 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. He 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 Com missioners of Police and retired. 111ARKE7S-7 HIS 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 terms, but very little demand. Foreign wheat not pressed for eale, 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. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. bleat.—The dead moat trade is completely altered by the fine weather for pasturage. Supplies are very light and prices quite 4d per stone higher. We 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 45 4d per stone. Poultry.—The poultry trade has not varied materially, Fowls sell cheaply. Irish, is 6d to 18 9d ; Essex, 2s to 2s 6d; Surrey chickens, 2s 6d to 3s; large lows, 4s 2d to 4s 6d ; pigeons, ad to 9d.

Coffee.— The demand for good colonial coffee continues firm, and the prices are steady. Rice is dull, but some 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 90s to 105 s. COTTON. LirEnrom, Aug. 21.—Sales probably 155000 bales. Market improving.

The 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 requirements, which always produce a large circula tion of coin. On the other hand the Reserve has enlarged considerably, until it now reaches nearly eleven millions and a half. A prominent feature in the return is the decrease of £600,000 in the Govern ment securities, owing to the repayment of tempo rtlaorsyitsadavroances ; and, in consequence the public de comparatively low, but it is yet six weeks fisarta a i t ! t t i l e ie end of the quarter.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN COMMITTED FOR ROBBERY.—Thomas 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, whe n 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 Haggett, 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." He went round 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. He ran after the prisoner and caught him, when he said that he was running after the thief. Richard King, 38 F il, 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. lir. Knox committed him for trial. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times remarks that the autumn of 1868 will be dis tinguished by a concurrence of elections in America, France, and England. 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 standing 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 W'nig 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 he 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 wo 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 the 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 nation ; 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 questions 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 understood. Nor is 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 needless 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 cesse 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 mitted 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 assent 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 shew 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 could 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 not the man for Leeds, and what was the result? His lordship took a stroll through the town the 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 lisses immaculately riey,s v pure rerwinsciopnles different ale S in ta a n t r ers rd , bduist cwould like to know more of his new crochet, the Malthissian theory, THIRD EDITION.

(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. He always gave the letter he wrote to Mdme. Rachel. lie recollected copying a letter, which, when done, she handed to the young gentleman called " Edward," who, he thought, was Mdme. Rachel's son. This person said the writing was too much like a school boy's, and that therefore ho would write a better one. Something was said about Mrs. Borradaile coming. This took place in January, '67. The letters handed to him are those he copied from. lie recollected the one marked " 12" particularly. By Mr. l)igby Seymour —He was examined at Marlborough-street, but the letter 12 was not shown to him, lie first saw letter 12 at Mr Lewis's office on Saturday last. He 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. lie 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 months. 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 bal ance o f £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. He should never forget the scene that took place. Madame Rachel told Mrs. Borradaile that she was squandering her money on her paramour. Ho told Madame Rachel she ought to be ashamed of hers?lf 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 one 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 Ranelagh, said __l 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 Seymour—l must, ask you some ques tions. What took you to Madame Rachel's shop? Viscount Ranelagh—l shall be very happy to 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 Ranelagh—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 door 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. Borradaile in Madame Rachel's shop?—l 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 Airs. Borradaile. Ilad it come to your knowledge that your name had been mentioned to Mrs. Borradaile ?—ln directly it had, 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 see them ?—I 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. He 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 for 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,lbut 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 put in, 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 rearou for writi❑g 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. Digby Seymour then opened the case for the defence, lie might at once say that he should not call any evidence for the defence, because there was but one, and the mouth of that one was now closed. He felt satisfied that his client would be judged ac cording to the evidence, and not by the prejudice that had been created against her—a prejudice which had reached that court, because a conviction in the case had been said by the learned counsel for the prosecution would rid London of one of its foulest stains. Ho felt that they would not conde.nn in the summary manner that was imagined. Her conduct immediately these procedings were commenced showed that she was quite ready to meet the charge. She did not avail herself of flight, as she might easily have done, but she went openly before the magistrate, and, in effect, said —" Here I am, ready to meet any charge that may be preferred against m.e" A civil action hal been instituted against his client, but when her mouth was open friendly negotiations took place, and the matter was withdrawn. The same course was pursued on another occasion when a summons had been issued against her ; but after a long interval had been allowed to elapse, a criminal prosecution had been instituted against her, and then she was called upon to disprove a number of grave charges, the prosecution well knowing that immediately she was placed in the dock her mouth was closed. Another prejudice had been attempted to be raised against his client, because she dealt in various articles whose virtues were stated to be beneficial to female ap pearance ; but if everybody was to be prosecuted who advertised their nostrums in the public news papers, there would be no end of prosecutions. He felt certain the jury would not condemn the defendant because she advertised her specifics, as it was impossible they could take up any newspaper without finding embrocations, emulsions, &e., for every ill that flesh was heir to, starringly paraded in the public prints. Then, again, it was urged to his client's detriment that she was ignorant, but that unfortunate circumstance to his mind showed most unmistakeably that she could not dictate those curi ous epistles with which they had become so familiar. Those letters, peculiar in themselves, were however correct in their composition, and to suppose that an ignorant and illiterate woman could talk about " the overland route to the heart" and various other similies, was a circumstance that completely surpassed his comprehension, and he felt it would that of the jury. It was quite true that his client might pander to modern fashion in Vanity-fair, but that was net the case. It would neither be fair nor just to visit on Madame Rachel the sins of a generation. He felt quite certain they would not find his client guilty of the charge imputed to her ; that they would not find her guilty of the possession of valuable property, which it had not been said she had received; and then with re gard to the simplicity of Mrs. Borradaile, why she appeared to him as sane a woman as ever drew a cheque, and having got herself into a di lemma by her extravagance, she turned round and said she had acted as the blind and trusting tool of a deep, cunning, and designing woman. That they would be the best judges of. Did the evidence bear out such a theory? Ile felt they were not of that opinion when she attempted to make them be lieve that she was anxious for the marriage as an advancement of the position of her daughter, she, to his mind, pleaded the interests of the daughter to excuse the follies of the mother. But she had overdone her case, and the evidence of Lord Ranelagh proved that such was the fact. Ile totally denied all kno sledge of the whole transaction, and he felt great pleasure in saying of Lord Ranelagli—a nobleman who hal done good service, to his country—that his honour and character had come out unstained in that in vestigation. Mrs. Borradaile wished it to be believed that she was particularly simple, bat did they believe that she was so extraordinary simple as to believe that Lord Ranelagh made love through the mouth of his footman. He con tended that it was altogether irreconcilable with the guilt of the prisoner that she should send a letter to Mr. Cope, the relative of Mrs Borrodaile, i n Wales. A letter which set the whole prosecution in motion. He concluded with a strong appeal to the jury to discredit the whole of the evidence of Mrs. Borrodaile, and the result of that would be to enable them to give a verdict in consonance with British justice—namely, one of not guilty. Sergeant Ballautine, in reply, said he should not attempt to emulate the eloquence of his learned friend; all he should do would be to recall to mind the actual point at issue. The learned counsel for the defence wished them to believe that the prosecutrix had been carrying on a clandestine intimacy with a person of the name of William— that she had forgotten her womanhood, and that she had come into court to bolster up a pro secution by lies ; and the result of his learned friend's appeal to the ju r y wou ld b e , supposing they adopted his view of the case, that she would leave the court a convicted strumpet. But there was one part of the case that his learned friend had passed over altogether as quite beneath his notice, but the jury would doubtless agree with him that it was most important for Madame Rachel to show how she become in possession of a whole heap of letters from " William" To him it appeared beyond all doubt that either Madame Rachel was in conspiracy with this " William," that she was guilty of keeping letters intended for another person, or else that th e l e tt ers, h av i ng b een d e li vere d at their destination had come back to Madame Rachel. By no truthful or honest means could they have come into her possession, and the whole thing, to his mind, presented the appearance of trick and fraud. His learned friend had dwelt very strongly upon the evidence of Mrs. Borradaile, as being utterly worthless, but he seemed to be afraid to put a single witness in the box to contradict her. Where, he would ask, was Miss Rachel, where was Edward, two very important persons who could perhaps have given more information than was convenient had they been put forward for examination. The conduct of Madame Rachel when visited by Mr. Cope, was strong confirmation that she had never lent Mrs. Borradaile a single penny. Had she been hnr debtor, did they think that Madame Rachel would have said she was not? Then his learned friend had said something about the charges made by the prisoner, but they as men of the world knew well enough that there were silly foolish people in the world who would readily part with 1,000 guineas for that which was infinitely absurd and utterly impossible, if, unfortunately, they got into the hands of a designing woman. The learned sergeant then strongly adverted on the conduct of Mr. Haynes, the solicitor, and proceeded to refer to the evidence given by Lord Rane lagh. It appeared beyond doubt that Lord Ranelagh had been to Madame Rachel's, and he could only say that it was most unfortunate that he should have ever been introduced to Mrs. Borra daile, and with respect to his giving his card to the lady, he could not help thinking such a proceeding on his part was not impossible. That Mrs. Borra daile was a poor weak, vain woman, he would not deny, and her conduct in court showed that in all her actions vanity was uppermost, for the first question of his learned friend to her showed it. She refused to tell her age—she wouldn't tell her age, but boasted of her hair. (Laughter.) His learned friend wanted to know " Who was William ?" Why Miss Rachel knew, Edward knew ; and yet neither were called in court. Madame Rachel knew. Where did William live ? He must have lived somewhere—(laughter)—and if ever it was in a garret he must have been seen by the people who lived in the parlour. (Laughter.) Then, again, his learned friend talked about the overland route and Madame Rachel's ignorance of the existence of it, but he seemed to forget that she was a dealer in Eastern perfumes, much of which would have to come by that direction, and her ignorance on the subject was, he was certain, not deeply seated, as had been stated. The evidence of the youth Lin ton did not seem to suit the case for the defence, and it was attempted to make the boy most unworthy of belief ; but as far as he was a judge of human nature, the lad gave his evidence in an open frank manner, and in such a manner as to carry conviction on the mind of all right-thinking persons. It was very unfortunate that the boy's HER MAJESTY. PENSION WALLIS, LUCERNE, August 18. • The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, made excursions in the neighbourhood and on the lake yesterday. A Committee of tho Lords of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council met yesterday in the Council Chamber, Whitehall, to consider questions con nected with the existence of small-pox among foreign sheep. Present—The Right Hon. Sir S. Northcote and the Right Hon. E. Hammond. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nial Office from the Governor of Malta. Despatches were sent to the Governor-General of Canada. THE YORKSHIRE IRONSTONE DISTRICT.—The North-Eastern Railway Company have given notice that in the autumn the proprietary will be called together to decide upon the course to bo taken to abandon or modify several branch linos for which Acts have been obtained. One of these is Gilling and Pickering, which skirts the mineral districts of the moors. Au organization is being formed to oppose the abandonment of this line, while, on the other hand, a great number of petitions have been prepared in favour of the abandonment and the substitu• tion of a direct line from Malton. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.- Ou Tuesday afternoon a large bar of iron was placed at the mouth of a skip shaft atSouth Wheal Frances mine, in Cornwall, for the pur pose of keeping open the door. A strong gust of wind caused the heavy bar to fall down the shaft, and, unfortu nately, at this time three men were ascending. One— William Hand—was struck, and fell a depth of 115 fathoms, his head being split almost in two ; another miner, named Eddy, was also injured, but not seriously. `ADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Wonder-Working Remedies.—As the battle of life has to be fought alike by the naturally feeble and the constitu tionally strong, how momentous is it to preserve the former from adventitious ailments. A scratch on the leg, slight swelling or inflammation about the ankles, which would have been cured at once by Holloway's medicaments, grow, from the want of the commonest precautions, into grievous diseases, which throw the sufferer on a bed of sickness and perhaps his family on the parish. Every peasant's home should have these remedies; they will save both parents and children from much misery, and, above all, they will remove their complaints at a trifling cost, and leave ne diOlearteuipg heavy bill behind. testimony should be set aside by the counsel for the prisoner, because it showed most unmistakeably that the manufacture of all the letters was " Edward," and that they were all concocted in Madame Rachel's back parlour. The learned Sergeant having commented on the other parts of the speech of the counsel for the defence, concluded by expressing his firm conviction that justice would be done, and that their verdict would be in all re spects in conformity with the evidence that had been placed before them. 'The great question for them to determine was whether the prosecutrix was a perjured strumpet or the woman at the bar a fraudulent person. The Recorder having summed up the evidence, The jury retired to consider their verdict. At the hour of going to press (a quarter to 7) they had not returned into court. LuNDON GAZETTE-THIS EVENING.
