In our market in the interior there is likewise a fall, though we think less here decided than in other countries. In any case, the fall is more decided on rye than on wheat. A fall of from 21. to 3f. has taken place at the markets of Grammont, Liege, Louvain, Coutrai, and Termonde. There is likewise a fall of lf. on wheat, except at Termonde, where it has risen, and at Grammont, where, on the contrary, this grain has fallen no less than 4£ The importation of corn is less this year at Antwerp than the preceding, which may be partly accounted for !Dy the high prices of this article in the countries whence it is imported. MUNICH, JULY 2.-The harvest has already began, and promises to be extraordinarily productive in Lower Bavaria. Not anywhere in Bavaria has the weather been so unfavourable as with us, during the last week. For some days we were really yearning for rain. PESTS, JUNE 29.-We are just at the eve of the har vest, the prospects of which, from accounts from all parts of the country, are of the most encouraging nature. At most markets there is a great reduction in the prices of corn, and the holders of large stores seem now to be panic-struck, and to be glad to lower their demands, and take what they can get. They now deliver their goods to the buyers, which has not been the case for a long time. The barley harvest has already begun. Several markets here have had parcels of this year's crops. Here in Pesth, as well as in the other provinces of Upper Hungary, there is a terrible diminution in the prices, but it is not in the same proportion as in the other articles. At Wesprin, for example, one of our most important corn markets, the following standard will show how consider able this reduction has been, The prices were, per Vienna metzer- JUNE 4.-Wheat 16E1. 45kr. to 18fl.; rye, 14fl 30kr. to 15f1.; maize, 111 35kr. to 1011. ; barley, 1111. 30kr. to 111 45kr. ; oats, 411. 6kr. to 41 15kr. JUNE 26.-Wheat, 911. 45kr. to 1111. 30kr. ; rye, 811. 30kr. to 911. 36kr.; maize. 81 15kr. to 81 30kr.; barley, 3fl. 30kr. to 611.; oats, 41 to 4fl. 10kr. AUGSBURG, JULY 3.-- = Phis year's wheat has already been brought to market at Batzen. At Neustadt, in the Palatinate, this year, corn (probably rye) has also been brought to market as fine and full as could possibly be desired. At Friburg. in Brieyou, fine new wheat and new winter barley were bought on the 26th June in small quantities it is true. The rye harvest will com mence there the first week in July. In Mayence the prices have fallen a good deal, because Government brought several hundred quarters of wheat to market; in other parts of Hesse the prices have likewise fallen. At Ellwingen, on the contrary, by an extraordinary anomaly, the prices have risen. The markets of Suabia and Newberg present little change, scarcely any thing is doing there, but there is a tendency to fall. At Erding and Augsburg, on the other hand, things are unfavourable. At the former place 1,009 sheffles were brought to market, which were all sold, save 26 sheffies at raised prices. Wheat rose 1311.; rye, 31 39k.; barley, 111. 21k.; oats, 6k. The medium prices are-Wheat, 391 45k.; rye, 3011. 31k.; barley, 2211. 30k. ; oats, BEI. 54k. At Augsburgh, wheat rose 3fl. 146. ; corn, 111. 38k. ; rye, 111. Bk. ; barley, 111. 27k., oats. sk. The medium prices are at 4011. 16k.; corn, 4111. 27k.; rye, 3211.48 k.; barley, 261 20k.; oats, 211. 45k. At Regensberg prices have risen, but no sort above 111. The last accounts from northern Germany mention large arrivals of rye from Russia, and all are unanimous in opinion that there must be a great and permanent reduction very soon. MARYLEBONE ELECTION. REFITSAL OF SIR BENJAMIN HALL TO GO TO THE BALLOT. The contest for the representation of the borough of Marylebone, su far as the Liberal candidates are con cerned, is, it appears, likely to be brought to an amicable termination. A communication was forwarded on Thursday last to Sir Benjamin Hall, from the joint com mittee appointed by the candidates to arrange the pre liminaries for the monster ballot, stating that, at a meeting of the Marylebone Reform Association, a reso lution had been passed unanimously, that a ballot should be taken with respect to the Liberal candidates, D. W. Harvey, Essi„ Lord Dudley Stuart, and Mr. Serjeant Shee ; and that a resolution had also been passed by a majority of seven votes, that the name of Sir B. Hall should be placed in the same position, and that he should be respectfully requested to allow such a proceeding. To this communication the Hon. Baronet yesterday forwarded to the committee the following reply:— " St. James's-place, July 9, 1847. "Sir,—l have the honour to receive your letter of this date, enclosing copies of two resolutions passed at a meeting of your association last night. The first of these resolutions was, as you state, passed unanimously, but the other was carried by a majority of only seven votes ! In 1841, when a vacancy occurred, no desire was expressed that I should take such a step as that now proposed. The new candidates were alone required to do so, and Sir Charles Napier having on that occasion the majority of votes, was associated with me in the con test, and was returned. In the present instance Sir C. Napier retires, and three candidates come forward to fill the vacancy so created, and I have yet to learn that either Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Sergeant Shee, or Mr. Harvey has any desire to oppose me. "In 1337 I was returned at the head of the poll by a majority of 660 votes. In 1841 I maintained the same position, and the majority was near l y doubled, and amounted to 1,278, and nearly 5,000 electors polled for me. A short time since your association, at a full meet ing, passed a vote of confidence in me almost unani mously, which vote was confirmed on a subsequent day. Within the last few days two public meetings of electors, the former numbering nearly 2,000, and the latter 700, declared that they place continued confidence in me as their representative, and would use their utmost endea vours to secure my re election. At the first of these meetings only twelve hands were held up against me, and at the second the resolution in my favour was passed unanimously. Under these circumstances I feel confi dent that the association will, upon further considera tion, agree with me that it is my bounden duty to pre sent myself to the electors on the day of nomination, and I have no doubt the constituency will believe that in so doing I shall act with deference to my objections to them, and that I shall receive. as heretofore, the almost unanimous support of the Liberal electors of the bo rough, which I have the honour of representing for ten years. - " I have the honour to be, sir, " Your obedient servant, " B. HALL. " To Mr. Brotherton, Lisson-grove." The Committee again met yesterday, and I pledge w as signed by the t hree first-mentioned candidates te retire from the contest of the borough in case thebsatlo lot of the electors should be against either of them. It was then resolved that the ballot should take place on Monday, the 18th instant, to open at nine in the morn ing and close at eight in the evening, and that no per son s hould be admitted without signing a declaration in the event of a poll being demanded, not to vote for any but the reform ca ndidates. The popular feeling with respect to the candidates is still supposed to be in favou r of Mr. D. W. Harvey. It is g enerally consi dered that Sir B. Hall has acted p erfectl y right in not submitting to the ballot. Tem CRINES E JUNK-KEYING, NOW ON HER RUT TO EsnaLAND.—Capt a i n C . A.

COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, July 10. (Sittings at Nidi Prins. at Guildhall, laF-fore Lord DEN ) CtUM C..N.—WLSTON V BILL. Mr. Dovvdeawell and Mr. Clcasby were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Humfrey for the defendant. This was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. .The damages were laid at 1,0001. Mr. DOWDESWFLL, in opening the case to the jury, expressed his great regret that in the absence of Mr. Martin it had fallen to his lot to state the case of the plaintiff to them. The plaintiff was a person who, at the time of contracting his marriage with his wife carried on business as a butcher. The marriage had taken place about four years ago ; he then gave up his busineseas a but crier, and took a public-house, called the Sun and Sports man, in Marylebone, which was exactly opposite some extensive mews kept by the defendant, who had also a house in the Regent's Park., He frequented the plain tiff's public-house, and a familiarity sprung up between plaintiff's wife and the defendant. At first this was a slight familiarity, but afterwards it became stronger, and the defendant had been seen sitting with his arm round her waist. The plaintiff gave up the public-house and went to reside in another place, but the intimacy was continued, and the defendant was in the habit of going to the house when the plaintiff was from home ; but the defendant being a married man, and not very young, the plaintiff did not think anything of it. In the begin ning of the present year it was arranged that the plain tiff and the defendant should go out together on the fast day in a carriage, to shoot sparrows, but plaintiff was obliged to go elsewhere in the morning, and defendant was not to call for him till two or three o'clock. When, however, the plaintiff returned home, he went to the window of the parlour to call his wife, but upon looking in, he saw the defendant and his (the plaintiff's) wife in such a position as could leave no doubt in his mind of the fact of criminal intercourse having taken place. While the plaintiff was standing in a state of the greatest asto nishment and misery, the defendant came out, passed the plaintiff, and jumped upon his horse, which was waiting for him, and rode off. They might easily con ceive the state of mind of the plaintiff. He left his house, roamed about the streets all night, and the next morning he went to the house of the mother of his wife, and related to her what he had seen.

He called on the Satur day, and requested to see the plaintiff, and an interview was arranged for the following Tuesday, at which the mother of the plaintiff's wife was present, and on that day the defendant expressed the greatest contrition for what he had done, and offered to make any compensation if the matter could be arranged. These were the facts of the case. It was impossible the wife, who had one little child, could ever again be the inmate of her hus band's house, and he now came to this court to ask for compensation—a compensation which must always be inadequate to the wrong done. He should call his wit nessee, and leave the case in their hands, and they would say what damages the defendant should pay. Mary Ann Charlton—l was present at the marriage of the plaintiff and his wife in September, 1843. I have visited them two or three times, and they appeared to live on very affectionate terms. Mr:. Smith—l am the mother of the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff was then a butcher. He afterwards sold his business and took the Sun and Sportsman public house in Marylebone. Opposite to that were the defend ant's livery stables. My daughter then had one little boy. I visited her, and she and her husband lived on very affl ctionate terms. He was remarkably kind to her. He sold that business in April last, and went to live in Caledonia-road. He came to me on the fast day; he was in a most distracted state of mind. I went to the defendant's in consequence on the following day, and saw him. I then asked him what was the matter between him and Mr. Weston, and he said that he did not know. I afterwards saw him again on a Satur day, and he begged pardon, and denied that any thing criminal occurred. He said he was very sorry for what had taken place, and begged to see Mr. Weston. I afterwards saw Mr. Weston, and then Mr. Hill, and I told the latter what the former had said. 1 asked him if he was aware he had parted man and wife. He said he would do anything, either in money or any thing else, if Mr. Weston would but forgive him. I said, if I could get Mr. Weston to see him, I would send and let him know. Mr. Weston consented to see him on the following Tuesday, and it was arranged that I should be present. We met on the Tuesday. Mr. Hill was in great agitation. Mr. Hill asked what had taken place. Mr. Weston asked him if he did not see him in a certain position, and Mr. Hill admitted that it was not a false hood, and begged Mr. Weston to forgive him. Mr. Weston said, how can I forgive you when you have ruined me and my family for life ? Mr. Hill begged me to have another interview with Mr. Weston, but Mr. Weston refused. I had seen Mr. Hill at Mr. Weston's before this ; they were on very intimate terms. Cross-examined—When Mr. Hill came to the house a person was placed to hear all that took place. I ad vised that. He was in an adjoining room, with the door open; his name is Summers. At the interview, Mr. Hill said the fact of criminal intercourse had not taken place. My daughter now lives with me. I can't tell how often the plaintiff comes to my house; he calls to see the child, sometimes twice a week. Mr. Williams succeeded Mr. Weston at the public-house. The plain tiff's wife has gone there to collect the debts, and what money she collects she keeps. It is not requisite I should tell you how much she has got. I never inquire into other people's business. She sends her brother Joseph. I have three sons. Mr. Hill is younger than Mr. Weston; I believe him to be about thirty-five; my daughter is twenty-three. Charles Summers—l am a tobacconist. I called upon the plaintiff on Tuesday, the 20th of March. I was asked to remain. I went into the next room to that in which the plaintiff and Mrs. Smith and Mr. Hill were. Mr. Hill said he was come to apologise for what had taken place . so help him God it had not taken place. Mr. Weston said it would have taken place, if it had not. Mr. Hill said, " My dear soul, it would have taken place, I have no doubt; but it did not." Mr. Weston said, you have been there when I have not been at home. Mr. Hill said, yes, he had ; he did not deny it. I had never seen anything wrong between Mrs. Weston and Mr. Hill when I called at the public-house. Sarrah Watson—l was in the service of the plaintiff at the public house on the 3d of May last year. Mr. and Mrs. Weston lived on very good terms. Mr. Hill nsed to come very often. I saw nothing particular. I have heard him call her my dear. She has said, " Mr. Hill, I'm not your dear." Cross-examined—There was a barmaid in the room at the time. Mary Willis—l also lived servant in the public-house. The plaintiff appeared affectionate to his wife. Mr. Hill came there frequently. I once saw his arm round Mrs. Weston's waist. I have seen them meet on the stairs ; he has gone up stairs to the billiard-room, and Mrs. Weston has gone up stairs. Cross-examined—Mr. Hill used to take Mr. Weston out for a drive. James Smith—l recollect Mr. Hill coming to Mr. Weston's on the fast day, on horseback ; Mr. Weston was out.

On the day before the fast day . an arrange ment was made between the plaintiff and defendant to meet the neat day at Red Bill, near Edgeware, to . shoot spar li rows, and the ladies were to go in the evening. The defendant was to call for the plaintiff. Joseph Tewsbury—l lived with the defendant ; he kept livery stables opposite the Sun and Sportsman. Mr. HUNFREY then addre ssed the jury for the de fendant. It had never been his fortune to see such a case brought before a jury. His friend had used common place phrases, which would do for many cases, but her e they were a little out of place. His friend had said that the little familiarities which went on were not noticed on account of Mr. Hill being an old man, and Mrs. Weston a young woman ; he did not know what Mr. Weston would think of that, but Mr. Hill, in stead of being this old gentleman, was about two years younger than Mr. Weston himself. He had never heard a case so attempted to be got up ; but he must say that this husband had presented himself with as litile pretence of being injured and heartbroken as any man he had ever known. This had taken place on the fast day (Wednesday), and the writ had been issued on the Friday. The attorney said, " Oh, I will issue the writ; I shall get 21. 3s. 4d. for that; but then what is your case?" Mr. Weston would then look a little blank. The attorney would say, you must have some evidence upon which, by the advice of the attorney, the heart broken husband arranges with his mother-in-law that a conversation should be got up, so that some person might hear what was said, because if they could manage a little admission that would tell before the jury. The interview of Tuesday was to take place, and he had no doubt Mr. Weston had gone off to the attorney, and said we have made a good shot, much more effectual than shooting sparrows. We have knocked down the bird, for Hill has agreed to meet us. Then the attorney would say the admission is not so good if proved by one witness, and therefore if you could just quietly get some one in the next room to hear what is said it would then be a double barrelled gun ; put Mrs. Smith in one barrel and Mr. Summers in the other, and then we shall be sure to have him. It was discreditable to get up a case of thi s sort by conversation, and his friend had said, could this hus. band ever again live with his wife ; but let them conce i ve him sitting in the room at that interview for a quarter of an hour, while the worthy tobacconist was listening in the other room. The defendant had s aid th a t not hi ng criminal had taken place, and then the husband (no doubt on the suggestion of the attorn e y) sa id if it h a d not, don't you think it would? H e h a d never seen a case in which . there was such evid ence t o l ea d a j ury t o th e conclusion of guilt. H e su b m i tte d t h at t h e proo f was not sufficient to induce them to find a verdict for the plaintiff. Lord DEN3IAN, in summing up, said it was a question of facts for the jury. A grea t d ea l d e p en d e d upon the evidence of Mrs. Smith. Surely the feelings of the mother of the wife who had committed such an act were to be spared in some degree by all parties in the evidence she had to give. Let them consider what her feelings must have been during that conversation, and what her feelings must be when in a public court of jus tice she came to state the guilt of her child. Were they or not satisfied that this had taken place ? He thought it a most serious case. If these parties were adulterers, he thought the defendant had much aggravated the case by bringing it into a public court, by not suffering judg ment by default, by exposing parties who were witnesses with foolish persons sitting by ready to grin in their faces at any indecency that might arise. If they con sidered the defendant guilty, then the question was, 23,992 19,333 37,726 18,809 22,462 25,796 146,910 17,110 31,181 27,875 12,786 38,662 20,519 KnaresborO . ugh .

The appearance of this important crop continues healthy-looking and luxuriant over all the county, with the exception of the Carse of Gowrie, where symptoms analagous to the disease of the last two years had again manifested themselves in some in stances. Why it should have appeared so early in that district may be accounted for by their being planted earlier ; but as in several instances the plant is already coming into bloom, without the least ap pearance of disease, either in stem or shaw, hopes are yet strong that, if it should prevail again this season, it will be both more mitigated in its form and partial in its sphere than formerly. The early varieties are now coming to market without taint of any kind, and promise to be a full crop. We personally witnessed one day last week several cases of singular growth in that crop, in a large garden at the west end of the town, and which we observe is not a rare case this season, but the same has been remarked at Elgin and other places. Among a quantity of the early cup-leafed kidney potatoes, planted in the end of March, and generally whole, about two-thirds of them came up, and are looking healthy. The owner, on proceeding to dig where the vacancies were, found new potatoes forming closely attached to the old seed, which was quite instead of producing a stem fresh ; but no stem p this instance the or der of ve g etati o n app ears to be roceeded from the seed. In o t t h a e " seed and young potatoes from r fr e o v m ers t e h d e . ey T e h e o f p the stem, has reversed the order, so that the young potato grows direct from the old one without the production of any stem whatever. Potatoes, but of a more globular form, and of a much smaller size, are sometimes found growing on potatoes stored in pits ; but we have not till now seen the same pro cess going on in the field. The subject, we believe, is one which has never been investigated, though extremely curious in its nature. In the present in stance, it appears to be connected with the excited vitality of the potato tuber, which again appears to be connected with the potato disease. To see a potato taken on an inverted action, and producing potatoes from its eyes instead of a stem, is in itself a matter of singular curiosity and importance, and the investigation of which would doubtless lead to a far more perfect knowledge of the growth of tuberous roots, than has ever yet been ac quired.—Perth Courier. THE EDUCATION SCHEME AS REGARDS IRELAND. 8,950 0,308 ,113 9,395 9,780 932 34,25 11,72' 27 215 35,022 75,498 A correspondence has taken place between the Arch bishop of Dublin and Lord John Russell as to the education grant for Ireland. The Archbishop, addressing his Lordship, on the 14th of May, says—" Before the annual grant of money for the education of the poor of Ireland is proposed in the House of Commons, I am anxious to bring under your Lordship's consideration the claims of a large number of most useful schools which have not as yet obtained any assistance from the State. Your Lordship and other members of her Majesty's Government having announced your earnest desire that assistance out of the public purse should be extended to schools connected with every denomination of Christians in England, so that none should have reason to complain of being excluded from a participation of the grants for diffusing education on the ground of their holding peculiar religious opinions, I cannot bring myself to suppose that her Majesty's advisers will continue to shut out from all assistance nearly 2,000 schools for the poor, which are under the superintendence of the clergy of the Estab lished Church in Ireland. The schools to which I refs r are those which are conducted on the system of the Church Education Society for Ireland—a system which is the same as that which was organized nearly fifty years ago by the Incorporated Association for Promoting the Knowledge of the Christian Religion, and which has had the approval of every prelate of the Irish branch of the United Church without exception. I do not know whether it is requisite for me to explain to your Lord ship that the schools which are founded on this system are open to children of every creed, that all the scholars who have attained a suitable proficiency are required to read the authorised version of the Holy Scriptures, and that those children only who are members of the Estab lished Church are obliged to learn its formularies. The rule respecting the use of the sacred Scriptures, wherein this system resembles that of the National Society of England, and that of the British and Foreign School Society, to both of which aid is given in England by the State, forms the sole ground on which these schools in Ireland are debarred from receiving assistance." Lord John Russell, in reply, dated May 26, says— " After giving the most attentive consideration to your Grace's views respecting the education grant for Ireland, I am sorry to say that I am unable to concur with your Grace, or to propose that any part of the vote should be applied to schools connected with the Established Church. The great majority of the people of Ireland being Roman Catholics, I should not think it advisable to make a provision for education from which their children were excluded, either by law or by regulation. The revenue of the Established Church in Ireland appears to me sufficient, not only for the support of the beneficed clergy, but also for the encouragement and maintenance of a Scriptural system of education." LODGING-HOUSES IN GLASGOW FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.—" The Glasgow Association for establishing lodging-houses for the working classes" has just opened its tirst or experimental establishment. This is situated on the west side of Mitchell -street, a few doors from Argyle-street. The house—which has been fitted up for this purpose under the direction of Mr. James ' Wylson, a rchitect —comprises four storeys, thus afford ing facilities for accommodating separately the three classes of inmates who in such places must be provided a r t t floors s have os vr accordinglyiseo asobeencorrespond ing fitted been thus up dormitories e with con o two tiere n f or — na mely, single males, single females, and married t e h p e ar t t h m r e e n e t. upper I has n couples, leaving the g round storey to be appropriated , and manner the ground of floor as a day-room, divided by dormitories t(-) the h a e r r dietinga g d :_ compartmen ts for the use of the lodgers during the low partitions and in wh i,:h the y ma y take their meals. For acco rding to this aoc classification, the be a r s t s h i s fi , e a a f t t i eorn the passengers' cabins on ship -board, exce pting that the upper and economy of spare, lower berths are entered from opposite sides; thus, though rendering more standing room necessary, accom plishing the complete separation which is essential in houses of this description. Each berth is furnished with a seat, and is Kicks( d by a door, in order to secure the clothes and other property of the occupants; and each dormitory: is provided with a water-closet; also a lavatory, containing several wash-hand boxes, so that. a small number may wash at one time. The kitchen and bar are combined, and are situated at one end of the ground storey, separated only by a counter from the seated portion forming the day-room. Here are pro vided the means of furnishing plain wholesome meals; and advantage is taken of the draught in the furnace, which heats the coppers, for ventilating the dormitories above: this is effected by means of an upright shaft of tin tubing which communicates with each floor, and leads into this furnace, so as to become mainly the source of its supply of air, while it is the medium by which the vitia ted atmos p here of the several floors is drawn off downwards. Arrangements are being made for fitting up , in the rear of the premises, one bath for male and anothe r for female lodgers.— Glasgow Citizen. INHALATION air ETHER.—On awakening from the inebriation, t he personal experiences of the etherised are most interesting. A gentle aura, of the most curious and thrilling character, steals over the entire frame ; and a sensation of the most perfect wellbeing possesses the mind. Then comes a gradual loss of con sciousness ; sight, hearing, and tactile sensation dis appear. The mind appears perplexed what to make of its new condition, and feeling as if the chains which bind it to the earthly tenement were burst, it is in a state of the most downright apathy with regard to the body. The soul then seems to bathe in an atmosphere of light, and revels in the happiness of apparently another ' world, while frequently a dream of transcendent glories passes before it. If the inhalation is discontinued, this blissful state is of short duration, and the stern, cold realities of our unspiritual world force themselves back once more upon t he recollection. The baseless fabric of the vision, and the glories fade away, and some casual movement in the apartment summons the patient at length out of his beatific condition. But the same glo rious things aro not vouchsafed to every one. Some, on the contrary, are trouble d with ideal contests with fiends ; some are violently altercating with their relations ; some are tumbling down bottomless abysms; and horrors of all sorts crowd in upon the minds of others. In these cases, it is frequent that during the praoncdess ver io lent struggles, contortions of the features, oth tokens of uneasiness, betray the troubled state of the dreamer's mind. A lady undergoing this process at our hands, during the removal of a tumour, was the whole child c her to time violently struggling and crying out, with whom she believed herself to be violently contend ing. Where this state exists the termination of the process is an inexpressible relief to the etherised, but it is an almost universal experience that no actual pain was felt :—" It was a frightful dream," or " I thought a fiend had hold of me," or "I felt I would have given worlds to be out of it," are the expressions often made use of on awaking. In some cases these gloomy impressions are the result of imperfect inhalation; but in others it is a question whether the impurity of the ether employed is not the cause.—People' s .Journal.

The Attorney-General, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Cleasley conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder, Mr. W. H. Watson, and Mr. Ogle appeared for the de fendant. This was an action to recover a. sum of money alleged to be owing by the defendant, in his character of a member of the committee of the Duch Hanoverian Railway Company, to the plaintiff, a stock-broker for the purchase of shares and " continuaticns" for and on ac count of the company. It appeared that some time after this company had been brought out, the plaintiff re ceived instructions from the board to purchase up the shares as they came into the market, with ' a view of maintaining their value. For a length of time these purchases were effected, and the purchase notes male out " bought for account of N. Ogle, Esq.," and although a letter was put in evidence, which purported to be an authority from the company, and wherein there was a recognition of the correctness of the plaintiff's account, it was contended on the part of the defendant that he had not only not signed the paper, but that he had said he would not sign it for a thousand pounds. The case occupied the whole of the day, and the only questions between the parties were, whether these pur chases had been made by the plaintiff on account of the company, or on the private account of the director of the name of Ogle. The jury retired at twenty minutes past five o'clock, and at five minutes to seven sent a note into court pray ing that they might be discharged, as there was not the least chance of their agreeing to a unanimous verdict. The Lord Chief Baron having left the Court, Mr. Baines, from the Marshall's-office read the note, and asked the attorneys on both sides if they would con sent to the discharge of the jury? The Attorney for the plaintiff said he could not give his consent. Mr. Baines thereupon communicated that fact to the jury. . About eight o'clock the jury again sent out to ask whether they might not be discharged, as the probabl y of their agreeing was more distant than ever. Mr. Baines returned an answer in the negative, as the parties would not give their consent. shortly afterwards, however, Mr. Baines sent a mes senger to the house of the Lord Chief Baron in Queen square, communicating the request of the jury, and asking for instructions. At nine o'clock, before the messenger had returned, the jury came into Court, and delivered a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 3,9291. 17s. 3d. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Abingdon, July 10. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and a Special Jury.) SMITH V. SCOTT AND OTHERS. Mr. Whateley and Mr. Phipson appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Godson and Mr, Maynard for the de . i'endant. This was an action against the prooprietors of the Morning Advertiser newspaper, for a libel contained in a report of proceedings at the Judges' chambers, before Mr. Justice Erle:and Mr. Justice Cresswell respectively, on application by the plaintiff to get released from cus tody by virtue of his discharge and certificate under the bankruptcy laws. The defendants pleaded only "Not Guilty," and the principal question in the cause was, whether the report was not a fair and correct account of what took place. It appeared that the plaintiff was formerly a barrister on the South Wales circuit; that he, about the year 1836, originated some waterworks in Glamorganshire, and subsequently started the Swansea Journal, and afterwards, having become involved to the extent of upwards of 20,0001., had a fiat in bankruptcy struck against him in the Bristol District Court, passed his examinations, and was discharged and granted a certificate by the commissioner. Being afterwards taken into custody by some of his creditors, who had not proved at Bristol, he applied at the Judges' cham bers in London for his release by virtue of his certi ficate—first to Mr. Justice Erie, and subsequently to Mr. Justice Cresswell. These applications were resisted. on the ground that he had lost more than 201. in one day by gaming since he had become a trader, this alle gation. of course, being supported by a sufficient number of affidavits ; and on this ground, under a provision of the bankrupt laws, that where a trader shall have lost more than 201. in one day, or 2001. in one year, by gaming, his certificate shall not be a protection to him, the plaintiff's applications were refused, and he was re mitted to custody. All these facts the report in question set forth, and so far the plaintiff did not complain ; but the reporter, under a misapprehension as to the state of the law with regard to what a bankrupt should swear before getting his certificate, added that the plaintiff in his examination at Bristol denied that he had ever lost more than 20/. in one day by gambling ; and, further, in his statement of the argument of Mr. Thomas Chitty, the well-known special pleader, in opposing the plaintiff's application, described that gentleman as contending that the plaintiff had obtained his release by misrepresenta tion, whereas, in fact, the plaintiff had no occasion to make such a denial in his examination at Bristol, and Mr. Chitty had confined himself to urging that the loss of more than 201. by gambling in one day made the certificate void, and did not at all allude to the examina tion at Bristol. The plaintiff's counsel, in stating the case, expressed his readiness to take a verdict for such damages as would carry costs, if the defendants would even now consent to apologise, and state that they were in error in representing the plaintiff to have denied that he ever lost more than 201. by gambling in one day ; but this the defendants' counsel declined to do, saying that the report was a correct one, and therefore the defendants should not be punished in costs for its publication. On the part of the plaintiff it was admitted that he had gambled largely before he became a trader, and the gravamen of the libel was that he should have been re presented as having denied that he ever gambled, whereas what he denied (not at Bristol but at the Judges' cham bers) was, that he gambled since he had become a trader. It appeared that by the bankruptcy laws the plaintiff should have made an oath that he obtained his certificate by fair means, and that the certificate should set forth that he had conformed, in all respects, to the bankrupt laws; but the form of each oath vs as so vaguely framed, that on a careless reading of it the deponent would seem to swear that he had conformed in all respects to those laws, whereas, he merely swore that he by fair means obtained a certificate that he had conformed in all re spects to those laws; indeed, so apt was the frame of the oath to lead an unlearned layman to the former conclu sion, that a quarter of an hour was consumed to day by the Learned Counsel on both sides, and the Court, be fore the counsel for the defendant appeared satisfied with, or rather ceased to contend against, the version which we, in accordance with the decision of the Court, have given as the orthodox one. It appeared in the course of the case that the defendant's liabilities were between 25,000/. and 26,000/, and that there were no assets in hand. Mr. GODSON addressed the jury on behalf of the de fendants, contending that the report was a fair and cor rect one; that when a reporter was compressing into a reasonably readable compass the substance of what occupied for several days the attention of judges at chambers, where no regular course of proceedings was pursued, but every one interrupted every body else, and all was scrambling and confusion, no other errors could be sought to be established against him—that from the nature of the discussions which were proved to have taken place, the very statements reported in the de fendants' paper must have been made on the part of those who opposed the plaintiff's application for his dis charge; and that even if an error had been accidentally committed, the plaintiff was not a character who could possibly be entitled to more t h a n half a farthing da mages. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, told the jury that if they thought the report in question a correct account of proceedings in a court of justice, then they should find f o r the defendants; but if they were of opinion that, though not correct, yet it was a fair, bond fide, and well intentioned statement of what occurred, they should give the defendants the benefit of this impression, by limiting the amount of the damages to which they should think the plaintiff entitled. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, gave a verdict for 40s. damages; and an observation having been subsequently made at the bar as to costs, it being for a moment doubted by somebody whether an action for libel was not within the jurisdiction of the county courts, the jury said that they intended to secure the plaintiff his costs. Oxford, July 10. The commission was opened here to. day. The number of prisoners is nine, and the number of causes two.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, &C., IN LEA DENHALL-STREET.—John Daniell, alas Johnson, and Marianne Smith, who had a child in her arms, were brought before Alderman Gibbs, c harged with having stolen gold and silver watches , diamond rings, &c. &c., of the value of about 1,0001., the property of Messrs. Brown and Walker, of Whitechapel and Leadenhall street. The premises in Leader.thall-street were those in which the robbery wa s committed, and the moment the discovery took place the prosecutor employed Daniel Haydon and Robinson Webb, two of the most active and vigilant officers of the City police, in the work of de. tecting the thieves and recovering the stolen gocds. Mr. Charles Brown said—l am in partnership with Mr. John Walker, and carrying on business as jewel lers, &c., at No. 92, High-street, Whitechapel, and also at No. 110, Leadenhall-street. The male prisoner was shopman to us up to Saturday night last, and had all the property in the shop in Lea lenhall-street under his care. The articles wero very valuable, consisting of gold and silver watches, gold chains, diamond rings and pins, and the rest of the usual stock of a jeweller. It wai the male prisoner's duty to sleep on the pre mises every night, and it was his duty every Tuesday morning to bring the keys to us, and to come in the evening for them end return to sleep in the house. He brought the keys as usual last Sunday morning to our house in Whitechapel, but he did not return in the evening. Ivi sited the premises on Monday morning, at about eight oclock, and saw that they were locked up ac cording to custom. I found my lad at the door, and he had 1 lages said that Mr. Daniell had not arrived. I opened the premises, and, as the shop was dark, directed - tharibe shutters should be removed. I then perceived that a :il; , r of arri.ele , h•a;l tie:kpf had belonged to them were scattered about the place ; and I said to the lad, " I see how it is." I then brought in some gentlemen. (Here Haydon, the officer, produced several bundles containing jewellery of various kinds.) I can identify the gold watch found by one of the officers upon Daniell as our property, and part of that which had been on the premises on Saturday, and had not been ac counted for by Daniell. Mr. John Walker, of the firm of Brown and Walker, said—l wont on Monday morning to our house in Leadenhall-street, and found everything there in state of confusion, and the property stolen, and the tickets about the premises. I instantly commenced a course of search, accompanied by Haydon and Webb, the officers. I went with them for the purpose of identi fying Daniell. After having gone to a variety of places, we at last called at No. 21, Green-place, Lisson-grove. where the officers knocked at the door, and inquired whether Mr. Johnson was at home. "Yes," said the person who opened the door, "walk in." Upon enter ing we saw the female prisoner, and asked her whether Mr. Johnson was at home? She replied in the negative. I said, upon looking at her, "Your name is Daniell?" " No," said she, "it is Johnson, and Mr. John son is out." I at once recognised a particular book which was on the table as Daniell's, and I said, " That's his book," and one of the officers said " That's his hat. We then searched the next room, and Webb discovered Daniell under the bed, and pulled him out. I said to Daniell, " You scoundrel, where is my property ?" and he replied, " I see its no use—it's in that box," pointing to a heavy trunk. The trunk was then opened, and we found almost all the property which had been stolen in a carpet bag in it, done up in fourteen parcels, and 1 0 took an inventory of the property. Daniell made no statement, but the female prisoner inquired of him what it was he said, to which he replied that he would tell her presently. The whole of th• property produced is ours. The female prisoner—Mr. Walker said at the time be did not " charge" me. Mr. Walker—Yes, but afterwards I found that you had a black brooch and ring of mine. Robinson Webb (658) City policeman, and Daniel Haydon, who had traced the prisoners and the property from place to place, with extraordinary skill, gave evi.' dence in all the main points exactly corresponding with that given by Mr. Walker. When Daniell acknowledged that there was no use in further attempts at conceal' naent, he handed to one of the officers a key, which be singled out as the key with which to open the trunk, and also the keys adapted to the lock of the carpet bag in which the property was contained. Each lock was at once opened with the key selected. In Daniell's pockets were found not only the gold watch identified by Mr. Brown, but several foreign coins. Mr. Walker said he had no doubt that the coins were the property of the firm, as Daniell was entrusted to purchase old gold and silver. When the officers told Daniell what they were, and asked him whether he knew where they came from, he nodded assent, and when asked whether he wished to say anything before the house was searched for the pre; perty, he said, " Well, it's all over, it's no use, youll find it all there," pointing to the trunk. When the officers told the woman that she must consider herself their prisoner, she replied, " Yes, I have no other wish but to share his punishment." The prisoners were then remanded. A great deal of ingenuity, it appears, had been exec' cised by the prisoners to escape detection, but it was to a few days overcome by the indefatigable zeal and vig i " lance of the policemen. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A MAGISTRATE.—Benjamin Blachmore was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having assaulted Mr. Manning, a magistrate of Wolverhatar ton, at present staying at the Berners Hotel, Oxford' street. It appeared that on the previous evening M r ' Manning was in Oxford-street, near the Prince sss Theatre, about nine o'clock, when he asked a person to direct him to a watering-screen. One person pointed 00 a yard close by, in which was a stable. Complaina nt went into the stable, and, seeing a man there, asked for and obtained accommodation. When about leaving; defendant came up to him, seized him by the collar, On. struck him a violent blow on the chest, dragged We l opt of the place, and threw him into the street. The defendant denied that he was the person W. had assaulted the complainant, and called some ,1: nesses to prove that it was another man who had n a , treated complainant, but Mr. Bingham said he did Do t believe the defendant's denial, or the evidence of his Wit nesses. Complainant had acted most properly in sor t ing the privacy he had done, and, therefore, he our, not to have teen subjected to such violence. Defenda nt was fined forty shillings, which he paid. SOUTHWARK. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ON RAILWAY I RON .—Thotigg Malsey and Robert Howe, the former manager, s ei _.: the latter clerk, to an iron merchant at Bankside, we re charged, before Mr. Seeker, with assaulting Rol/ Blandford, Police sergeant, 1 2 M. It appe ar that a few weeks back the sergeant discovered 400; worth of new iron rails in the yard of the defendal3t: employer. That circumstance led to the apprehens! ° : of a man named Haynes, who had sold a great DortlT: of the iron, which was believed to belong to the -SenT:A Western Railway, a great quantity having been miss es from its junction with the Richmond line, and Hail e was committed for trial at the Surrey Sessions. M.'" o trial the witnesses were unable to swear that the fi re d was the same that Haynes had brought to the yard, 011 ,„ he was acquitted. Application was then made to, tv''' Bench by the railway company for the iron to be gi/e li up to them, but the Bench refused to m ake any ordo', until better proof of its being their property was g ive°. The company being positive of the fact, directed Bland' ford to keep a watch on it, which he did. On the Pr h e; vious night he saw about thirty l a b our ers removing t he iron in a truck from the yard, and on stopping them p a y was knocked down, and the wheels of the truck 2 v - be over his legs. Yesterday morning, at nine o'cinn b l th e went to the yard with Mr. Rayland, chief clerk to u r , solicitors of the Great Northern Railway, and Mr. re ray, a wharfinger at Battle-bridge, when the rai ls li r identified as their property, and not that of the So t he Western Company. Defendants were in the yard s!:eir time, and resisted the officer in his duty, for which w were taken into custody. Mr. SEEKER said it was a case in which a s er v e robbery had been committed, and with a view to ha 0 o fully investigated he should commit the prisoners trial. --" THE ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID HAIR air E 11 only dye that really answers for all colours, and does n ot require re-doing but as the hair grows, as it never fades a g acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to a other dyes.
