LIONEY MAR ET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. - About 25,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday for the Continent, whence some large parcels of silver have lately been received. Money is in active demand, and at full rates. The meeting of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company to-day passed off satisfactorily. The chairman, Mr. Hamilton, congratulated the proprietors on no damage being done to their servants cr the property of the company by the rebellious Sepoys. It appeared from the report, that the net-revenue of the 88 miles already opened was 18,915/. 4e. ld. The works of the other parts of the line were proceeding satisfactorily. From the accounts it appeared that the total sum was 2,250,585/. 14s. The report was adopted. A further improvement has taken place in the English Stock Market to-day, and numerous small purchases have been made for investment. The tendency of the market is evidently favourable, and while theseoperations are con2luLd it will no doubt exhibit a strong appearance. The American ad vices have tended to benefit the quotations, for, however unfavourable the details may be, they are far from discouraging. With regard to India, also, there is less apprehension, and thus the Bears are gradually losing the unsatisfactory elements from Which they have expected so much. They still Persistently enunciate their peculiar and exag gerated views, but they are unavailing, for the market is slowly improving. Consols for money - have 89 been 891 and 89i ; and for th e account Iti and 898 The present quotations are 89 g 8 and 891 respectively. Tho Now 3 per Cents, have been 88i and 88i ; the Reduced, lj 881 ; Exchequer Bills 13s. to 10s. discount ; the Bonds sm ; and the India Bonds 455. discount. Bank 'Stock is 207 to 209, and India Stock 2092 to 211. The Foreign Stock Market is dull, but firmer. 1( Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 88 and 88g. They are now 88 to 881.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with more animation, but prices were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 2,500 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and values were unehan_ed. The intelligence from New York by the steamer Fulton, although unsatisfactory, is certainly not worse than might have been anticipated from the severe revulsion in crelit, and the general derange ment of business. The measure forced upon the Banks was of too recent a date to admit of the excitement it occasioned being entirely allayed, but a better feeling evidently prevailed, the value of securities had advanced, and we learn that large - consignments of goods were being prepared for this country. With regard to the exchange, no material improvement can be noted, but the ques tion to be solved is, whether it will le a d t o l arge shipments of gold from this side. Taking all things into consideration, the risk, charger, cost of trai,sit, loss of interest, end the favourable terms that can be obtained for money at home, there is reason to believe that the efflux will not be very serious. On the other hand, however, there is no immediate prospect of remittances to this side being resumed. According to the banking law of New York the various establishments that have stopped payments in specie ought to be wound up, but in the present instance, the movement being general, the rule will probably be waived. Ifs however, should be determined upon, the process must necessarily be very tedious, and the recovery perhaps retarded; but two or three other mails must ! be awaited before any clear or reliable opinion can be formed upon this point. The local journals naturally discussed the question at length, but some R i of the best inf orme d pre di c t an early amelioration. a Meanwhile, th e i n t errup ti on o f b usiness, the stop- 1 page of mills, and the diminished employment 16 1 found for the operative classes were producing n• serious inconveni ence an d di stress. As it frequently happens that after such a violent commotion the 20 transition to a quieter and more healthy state of 11i affairs is often rapid, there was a confident tone St. and the kn ow l e d ge th a t a l arge proportion of the tit; firms that h a d suspen d e d were actually solvent 1.,?)' tended to m iti ga t e th e uneas i ness at f i rst produced. 12i It is stat e d th at th e r i se i n th e S tate stocks had been 6to 6 per cent. This will probably check 25 orders to buy from this side, and, as a con- 25 sequence, the transmission of specie. Ame rican homes here, in most instances, now 110 0 know the worst, and must ma k e th e i r arrangements accordingly. They cannot hope for remittances St. while affairs remain as at present, and further st. failures must therefore be anticipated ; although, 2 5 2 perhaps, not to the rui nous ex t ent wh i ch many too alarmists pregnosticate. 25 In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets 50 this week business has been depressed, and the 20 present unsatisfactory situat-on of monetary affairs has told most ser i ous l y upon this branch of trade. st.so Nearly all the principal articles have been at re- St . duced quotati ons , an d th e d emand being limited, St. sales are made with some difficulty. Heavy losses have already been experienced, and it would not S t t : St. excite surpri se if some em b arrassments were occa- St. sioned.

Antonio do Salvi was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Mr. Robertson in the Queen sßench Prison. The prisoner put in a plea of antre fois acquit —that he had been put in jeopardy for the same offence, and ought therefore not to be tried for the murder. To day was appointed for hearing the arguments on each side in reference to the plea previous to the pri soner's being put upon his trial for the charge of murder. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke, appeared for the prose cution : M r . J ames, Q C., Mr. Sergeant Parry, and Mr. M`Nlahon, M.P., appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin said the Court was aware that the pri ssoner stood indicted for wilful murder, and had in answer or bar to that charge put in a plea of autre fois acquit ; that had been demurred to by the Crown, and he (Mr. Bodkin) had to submit to their lordships' that the prisoner's pies was bad in law, and no bar the ver dict. The averment in the plea should be identical with the charge, but in this case it was omit ted. It appeared to be conceived by the plea that the intent to murder was a necessary ingredient in the commission of murder, but it was not so, and there were numerous instances where murder had been committed without any intention on the part of the parties charged to commit murder. Mr. James contended that the prisoner had rightly and correctly pleaded to this indictment. The plea sets out the prisoner's acquittal on au indictment charging him with wounding with intent to mur der, and he (Mr. James) had to submit to their lord ships that that offence arose out of the same transactions as those on which the indictment for murder was founded. It was clearly laid down in all the authorities that where there were two charges against a prisoner, though not precisely the same in point of degree, an acquittal on one was an acquittal on the other. The murder with which the prisoner was now charged, it was admitted by the prosecution, arose from the same blows and transaction as the charge of wounding with intent to murder, of which he was ac quitted ; and, therefore, the charge of murder against the prisoner, as a murder resulting from the same wounding of which be had been acquitted, could not be tried, and the prisoner put again in peril. Mr. IVl'Mahon followed on the same side, quoting a number of authorities in support of the prisoner's plea. At the conclusion of a very elaborate and learned . sraument, The Lord Chief Baron, after consulting with the other learned Judges, overruled the plea, and the prisoner was accordingly put upon his trial on the charge of murder, a mixed jury of Englishmen and foreigners having been sworn. Errl Granville, in whose service the prisoner formerly was, as valet to his lordship, was aceonpuodated with a seat on the bench, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. Sentence deferred. PASSAGE UP BRITISTI TROOPS THROUGII EGYPT. (FROM A. TRAVELLER IN THE EAST.) ALEXANDREA, OCT. 20. We have bad two stirring arrivals here, which have aroused alike Greek, Mussulman, and Jew. On the 15th the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Sultan brought us 14 officers and 235 men of the 4th and 11th Companies of Royal Engineers en route for India. On the 16th the excitement was kept up by a saute fired from a fine 46 gun frigate vvhici, entered this port, and next we saw our gallant Pioneers, clothed in the garb of peaceable English husbandmen, i.e., in white blouses and wideawakes. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's agent of this place, Mr. Holton, has made such admirable use of his position to render the transit of troep, across the desert efficient that he is sail to be ready to undertake to convey comfortably 2,000 English soldiers per mouth through the Pacha's sand steppes. The Pacha does not at all object to English sol diers crossing his territory in their uniforms and accoutrements, but I think Government acted very wisely in providing our men with white clothing, allowing. them only to carry their great coat, bread bag, and replenished water bottles—more than this would unfit men to stand sudden change of climate. The first batch of soldiers traversed the Desert in 29 hours ; the Royal Engineers will have ac complished their journey • through the Desert in little more than half the time. At five o'clock on Sunday evening, the 18th inst., Colonel Harness addressed the soldiers in a few, manly, heartfelt words as to the nature of the ser vice rendered by the Pacha to our gracious Sove reign by allowing English troops to traverse his territory, and expressed the confident hope that m complaint would be brought against them for vio lation of hospitality. The men made mien t o cheer their colonel and the good ship ea board of which they had been so well cared for ; but so well dis ciplined were they, that they controlled then feelings at first bidding ; for the colonel said, " Whatever you do, don't cheer." Though the men traversing the Desert stop every six hours for a good repast, they are nevertheless provided with a day's cooked fresh meat ration, broad, and a bottle of good drinking water. Colonel Pocklington, Deputy-Quartermaster-Ge noral of Melt e, acts here in concert with Mr. Holton. Both gentlemen have hitherto accern panied the troops through the Desert, and both are entitled to a large share of cr edit for putting their shoulders to the wheel manfully in despatch ing our men to the seat of war. The Calcutta batch, under Brevet-Major Nichol son, a much beloved Crimean officer, is accompanied by Colonel Harness, a fine elderly gentleman of high attainments and most courteous manners. The Bomb ay batch, under Capt. Cumberland, is commanded by Capt. Fenwick, who has stood the brunt of rawly a battle in the Kafir war. It must be a severe blow to parent, brother, or sister, to bid adieu to officers of this stamp ; but, had I a son, I would bid him God speed to enrol with such men, who strive to be equal to the emer gencies of their time. The friends and relations of the Royal Engineers in England will be glad to learn from the accom panying document that their journey up to this piece was a source of great pleasure : " S.S.

Colonel Nionckton, commanding the West York Rifle., to hold that regiment in readiness to march to Shorn cliffe. The 3d We s t Y or k M ilitia have received orders to proceed f rom D oncaster to Aldershott in the ensuing week. Th e corps i s under the command of Colonel Loftus, a n d i s i n a very efficient condition, though not up to it s f u l l strengi h. The No! th imptonshire Militia was embodied on Tuesday at _Northampt on, and mustered over 700 i!ron.g. It is expected that before the 31st 200 'lore will come up. The regiment did garrison duty in Gibraltar during the late War and was highly complimented by th e Governor, Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Fergusson, K. O. B. Both officers and men will volunteer again for any foreign station. The Royal Elthorne Light Itifsntiy, under the command of Lieut.-Col. M. Prior, is under orders for Ireland, and expects to proceed to Dublin next reek. The regiment numbers close upon 1,000 ;nen and has its full compl e m en t o f o ffi cers. The 2d Royal fianaek Militia assembled for em- Indic:tient at Lanark on the 21st inst. The regiment is under orders to proceed to-day to Haman Bar racks, and will occupy the huts erected there during' the late war. LONDO ,V STREETS AND SUBWAYS. "Highways abd bycways" used to'be a ph rase comprehendi ng a ll th e ways o f a country, but a bird kind of way is now likely to come into use, and not before its time. We are to have " sub ways," and no person' living in this city will deny ,he want of them. Half the business of London appears to lie five feet underground, ,and there is at present no way of getting at it except through the pavement. Not only are new Schemes of sewerage perpetually afloat, but sewers pow repre sent only a portion of our subterranean machinery. Every tenement demands its own water supply ; a lozen companies employ themselves in furnishir, the necessary el e m en t, an d every company has itsb own system of pipes. It is the same with gas, which s carried through infinite ramifications of tuber under every roadway by a score of rival establish nients. To house drains, and water mains, and gas pipes we must now add telegraph wires, which cou duct for us an underground correspondence almost is active as that of the post. As a matter of course, with what changings, cheppings, mendings, and movings, some part or ceher of this multiplied ma ehine.y is always needing attmtion, and iu order att,nd to it we pull up the roadway, and so de -troy the street or the pavement altogether for the time being. We will undertake to say that on any given norning a good proportion of our London tho roughfares will be found impassable. Sometimes lalf-a-dozen streets in succesion are blocked up until a man comes to his wit's end in trying to get rom one quarter of the metropolis to another. l'he Constitu ionnel told us the other day that we English could afford to sneer at the pAssport system because we did not know what jt was to have barricades in our capital. N. , t know barricades, ndeed Why, we are never without them. The whole art and system of these obstructions has been ielined to thellogbc,t pi•ch of excellence among us, tld is practised incessantly. We wish our con temporary would take a cab ,et Charing-cross, awl ry his hand at getting to any of our me'ropolitan railway stations. Before he had gone 5110 yards oe would find out th e s h ape which street revolu tions tike in England. Our red flag is a wisp f straw--a haudbtrrow turned up , ide down—a heap of stones in the middle of the road, like some dismal cairn on a Scotch m.oniittin—some tunes only a mere pavfiut's rammer ; but the yinbol in each instance is omnipotent, and sub ii.ission a matter of absolute necessity. Ge3sler's hat upon its pole was net more expressive of pubic iondage than these simple emb'ems. • They mean ha some com:Any or other requires the street for ti e day or the week, as the c :so may be, and that the thoroughfares is th97efore closed to all oth- r ore itures. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, Yest€rday an order was received by Co!. R. N. Phillip, commanding the 2d Battalion at Cha'han, garrison, countermanding the order for the emhar kation of the reinforcements for the Gist and 87th Royal List, Fusiliers, and directing reiuforcrments for the 94th Regiment to he held in readine. , s to einbark at Plymouth for the purpose of joining their service companies in India. Nearly 300 recruits have arrived at Chatham garrison during the last two days, chiefly from the London and Liverpool districts, for th,i purp , ..e of joining the Indian depots at the provisional batta lions. A large number of these have been attached to the staff of the 2d battalion of the 7th Royal Fusi 'i.ers, which is now being raised. Imagine a man pulling up the floor of hits dining •ooin every time he wanted to fetch a bott!e of ,sort om the cellar. That is about the character of am London practice: in this matter. We cannot ,ay exactly in what reign it was discovered that a ermanent flight of steps t. the basement story was aisnscreersygtaroruodavenient ar rangement, but we know thatotiourt lastroadways w eweek. thr, Subways,,, analogous i dea o r w wayswas for getting at the works under the pavement otherwise than through the pavement itself, are creations of yesterday, and are still, in deed, in the first and mo,t rudimentary stage of being. The Metropolitan Board of Works has the merit of initiating the movement— a highly natural merit certainly, for, except through some such consummation as that projected, we do not see how the Board is tG keep access to its own domain. The functions of thin tribunal are per formed under our feet ; in fact, it is bewildering to thank what an amount of administration and Taxation is involved in tranEaotions two yards beneath the, pavement. It is reported of cer tain ancient cities that the architecture above ground was surpassed by the architecture below, and such will soon ba the case, we should think, in London, judging by the rate of cost. Most people, we suspect, pay more for sewers rates than they do for house-tax, and the demand gets larger and larger. Naturally, therefore, the Board of Works wants to get at its kingdom— its dominion where it expends so much money ind contemplates so much improvement. So sumo premiums were offered for the best plans of subways —ways which would allow the business of people below to be conducted without prejudice to that of people above. We think the principle of this arrangement very reasonable. It would have been hard if Mr. Brunel had claimed a right of stopping the Thames during the time he was building his tunnel. OwAug to the numerous arrivals of recruits from all parts of the kingdom at the Indian Battalions, Chatham, sufficient accommodation for the troops cannot be obtained at Chatham Barracks, in conse quence of which the depot companies of the 98th Regiment have been removed to Brompton, and quartered in a portion of the barracks recen,ly oc cupied by the Royal Engineers. The following officers have proceeded from Chatham to the School of Musketry at Hy the for the purpose of undergoing a course of instruction in the Enfield rifle, previous to their departure for India :=—Captain R. 11, Travers, 24th Regiment : Captain J. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment ; Lieut. W. J. Anderson, 32d Regiment ; Lieut. T. Carlisle, nth Regiment ; and Lieut. R. Swift, Slat Regi ment. Two non - commi*ioned officers from each battalion have also gone to .Hythe foi the same purpose. By a letter received yesterday at Portsmouth from Rear-Admiral Sir H. Ktppel, dated Singa pore, Sept. 7, we learn that he was then on his way to Borneo to visit his old friend Rajah Brooke, pre vious to his return to England. The Duke of Wellington, 131, and the Victor Emmanuel, 91, now at Portsmouth, are to be equipped for the steam fleet in reserve. Tee Lords of the Admiralty have - ordered the following steamships and vessels now in the steam reserve at Sheerness to be immediately sent to Chatham, for all defects in the hulls to be made good with all possible despatch, viz. :—the Colos sus, 80 guns, sorew steamship ; the Argus, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop ; and the Driver, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop. We cannot profess the least surprise at hearing that there was, a " considerable similarity" be tween two plans proposed for terminating our present difficulties. If a premium had been offered for the best method of procuring a roast pig without burning a house down. the similarity of the propositions would probably have been considerable on that occasion also. Oue compe titor after another showed with great simplicity that a subway, or road large enough for a man to walk in, could be constructed underneath the pavement of the street ; that gas pipes, water pipes, and telegraphic wires could be arranged on either side of it, so as to, admit of the easiest possible access, extension, or repair ; and that from this subway approaches could be evened to the sewers also, as occasion required. The great dis tinction was in the estimate of cost, but, according to the highest reckoning it would not take above 50,0001. or 60,000/. to make a subway the whole length of the Strand ; according to the lowest biddings scarcely a third of the sum. • • OR the point o f expense, however,, we say but little, and for this simple reason—that subways will soon become so necessaryas to beinevitable, whether they cost much or little. Let no innocent house holder imagine that because he has had a fortnight of open trenches before his door he will therefore be se cure from all such annoyance for some time. • The water company may want his street the very min u t e after the gas company has done with it, and after both of them have been used up for the moment a day of such rain as we had last week may set the Sewers m we ay ean b n e o s t t t r h uc in k k wit houtth acosnhsutdrudecrtioonn t o h f e r a ate Commissioners on him f,,r a month to come.

What with the extension of telegraphic - The Cressy, 80 gunS, screw steamship ; the Majestic, 80 guns, screw steamship ; and the Royal George, 102 guns, screw steamship, are ordered to L be taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness, for all defects to hull and machinery to be made good immediately. The Caesar, 91, screw, was taken from the ordi nary alongside Portsmouth dockyard on Wednes day to have her rigging and masts overhauled, and to be brmight forward for the steam fleet in reserve. The Clio, screw corvette, 21 guns, is buildi ng i n Sheerness yard, and according to present arrange ments will be launched about the 31st March next, after which orders have been received immediately to lay another screw corvette down, to be called the Orestes, which vessel will be built upon the lives of the Scylla, and will fight her guns on the main deck. It is rather feared that by so doing she will be crank. Be that as it may, it appears definitely settled that the Orestes will revert to the old scale of not fighting her guns under cover, the disadvan tage of which is, iu action, the masts being shot away become entangled with the guns. The Avon, 3, paddle, Mr. Palmer, master com manding, arrived at Sheerness about noon on Wednesday, after taking Adusikal Bruce's effects to London. At Woolwich she took in a propeller, 55 cwt., which she landed in that yard, and left for Portsmouth about 10 a.m. yesterday. We believe the screw in question is for the Meanee, 84, now in Sheerness basin. The Belleisle, 6, hospital ship, Commander Rodd, was at Calcutta on the 24th ult. The captain and officers of the United States steam frigate Niagara give a grand ball and supper at Bate's Royal Hotel on Thursday evening next, to which the nobilityand gentry of the three towns and neighbourhood, together with the heads of the 'several public departments, officers of the navy and army, &c., are invited. Supper is or dered for 500 persons, and the splendid suite of rooms are being decorated with much taste for at Paris is also the occasion. The American Minister in London promises to be will be present, and the minister expected ; in fact, the whole affair one of the gayest and most fashionaPble witnessed in this locality for a long period. h During the time the Niagara has been at this port t er officers have shown the greatest possible tour es officers and most bearing to all art gentlemanly which has been an object p f no slight attraction. ies visiting the ship, They will shortly leave us for o New York, returning here in the spring of the .It year to re-ship th e trans atlantic teleg rap h cable as th is not too ffi much d also in to say th a t the men, as well their st a y at this port, have, by theiro co e n e d r Uct, won g general respect, and they will take with them the best wishes of the inhabitants for their health and prosperity. —Plymouth Mail. Rear -Admiral Eden, one of the Lords Commis communication, what with the improvements in the water and gas leupplies, and what, above all, with the approaching main drainage scheme, it is beyond all doubt that the regions just beneath our feet will be more in request for the next few years thin they have ever been before.

All the preliminary arrangements have been completed. Firrnans from the Ottoman and Egyptian Governments, granting exclusive privileges during construction through their respective dominions, have been secured to the company. These firmans apply not only to the line from Alexandria tl India, but include a connection with the European system of telegraphs in the Mediterranean.

Every objection which has beeu raised as to the practicability of laying a submarine cable in the Rid Sea has been thoroughly sifted, and the difficulties suggested from the existence of coral rocks and the supposed depth of the water have been completely set at rest by the opinions of Sir Francis Beaufort, Captain Beecher, R.N., Captain Harris, Mr. Knight, and other unexceptionable naval and scientific autho rities 4 _ may appear at first sight that in th e t erms ,hey propose—viz., an whcalling ole unconditional guarantee on lie c the apita l aspaid up—th e di rectors are upon East India C ompany and the government to iiSISUMO an unw arrantable degree of responsibility ; and, upon further c ons id era ti on , it will be found that the risk actually to be incurred is infinitely small when ceinpared with the vast importance of the object to be achiev e d . N o sect i on of the line will exceed 5 0 0 miles in length, and the loss arising from any unforeseen accident will there fore be limited to that extent of cables. This risk the contractors, as before stated, a re propose d to uud.iztake ; and, as au additional security, there aan be no question that, after the first section (of 260 miles) is finished, the remainder can b e success i ve l y insured by underwriting in the usual way. " There is n o mason to doubt that the Govern ment is prepared to extend a co r di al support to this company, with whom its negotiations have been hitherto conducted, by the concession of such terms as m ay appear to the be,t commercial autho rities to be indispensable for ra i s i ng the required cap i tal, an d t h us insure the est a bli shment of tele graphic communication between this country and India within the shortest po,sible period."

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK—IN BE H. J. CAMERON. To-day was appolocnd for the last examinatio n o f thi s bankrupt, but owing to the pressure of other business was not called on at the hour appointed, 12 o'clock. The bankrupt, it will be remembered, was general manager of Royal Br;tish Bank, and is one of the parties indicted with some of the directors. No account• having teen filed an adjournment must neeedmarlly take place. This bankrupt was a surgeon in Rotberbitbe and a shareholder of the Royal British Bank, and to-day was appointed for the choice of assignees. Mr. Link later appeared on behalf of the assignees of the Royal British Bank, and stated that the bankrupt besides beilg one of the shareholders was also indebted to a large amount to the Royal British Bank ; it was therefore desirable that some gentleman of great experi ence in accounts should be appointed assil..nee, and he therefore proposed Mr. J. Paul, of the firm of Messrs. Paul and Turner, to be assignee. His Honour concurred, and Messrs. Pettis and Co., Basinghall.street, were appointed ass gnees accountants to the e -tats. No preliminary accounts has as yet been prepared ; but it is said that the debts are very heavy, and the assets small. 100 100 all 100 all 100 100 54 50 50 50 25 124 30 121 109 30 24 ... .... .. , 103 --- iiii 21 - 89 - par - 54 '127 - 130 81 - Pi io _. ii ... ... 1 'CE SHARES. - 91 - 95 9L - 93 91 94 - 96 93 12 - 14 130 - 133 3i - 44 12 13 22i 234 89 91 90 1 jd 91 90i 112 120 106 104 123 IDo . 1071 8 1094 i 72i 2 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day, MARLBOROUGH -STREET, OBSTRUCTING THE POLlCE.—Lavinia Wiggins, a bloated, coarse-looking woman, was charged before Mr. Bingham with being drunk, and using obscene language in the public streets ; and two fashionably-dressed young men, Richard Rayne, and Robert Langtrey, the latter of the Trafalgar-hotel, Cockspur-street, and both de scribed in the charge-sheet as of no occupation, with obstructing the police and attempting to rescue the female poisoner from custody. I Policeman C3O stated that he saw the female prisoner between 12 and 1 a.m. in Titchborne-street, at the corner of Windmill -street. Seeing a gentleman passing the worse for liquor, she, also in the same state but in a less degree, followed after him, took held of him and drew him into Jerrnyn-street. Witness remonstrated with her, when she made use of very bad and ob-cene language in the hearing of passers-by. Proceeding now to take her into custody, the gentleman having extricated himself and sot away, she suddenly threw herself down and swore no policeman should take her. A. mob of per sons, caused by her conduct, collected, among whore were the male defendants. Raynes remarked to his companion—" Here's the police at it again !" and the other answered, witness having bold of the woman— " Let's take her away—get 'her into the public-house." Witness warned them not to interfere, telling them she was in his custody. So far, however front this inducing them to de s i s t, R aynes excla imed—" ' Your custody, who are you 'f'' and, calling upon Langtrey to lay hold of her arm, she all the while continuing her vile and abominable language, they obstructed him the more, and drew her to the public house previously indicated, when Raynes again called upon his friend to pull her in. Witness, from whose held the woman had been taken, hereupon clutched her again by her arm ; the male defendants, both in every way they could, still impeded him, Rayner throwing his arms round his neck in on2er to rescue the woman from his custody, in which they ,would h eve succeeded but for assistance arriving, when they were all three captured and conducted t. the Et ttion. When asked if they had any defence to offer to the charges, the female prisoner— (evidence having been given that she was known to the poi:ea al "Ect unfortunate," or "loose woman," or one of that far too numerous class, " nymphs of the pave")—said she was now in keeping She had been gay, bht was now vie-. tuous. Tee gentleman she followed was, she kdded, the person she "lived with." She begged to inform the magistrate, in conclusion, that sere bad been "all right" for tour months. Baynes said be happened, at the time spoken of, to meet with his friend Langtrey by (thane.. They had certainly been indulging a little over the glass, but were not drunk--only a little elevated—aud thus the affair occurred. He was extremely sorry at the figure they now cut, and the thoughtless conduct which had led to it—regretting their interference with the constable. He had only just arrived in town from Belfast. He should know better in future. Langtrey likewise ex pressed his sorrow for his imprudent conduct. Mr. Bingham, addressing the woman prisoner, said, whether she had ceased her former disreputable course of life for four months or cot, the language it was proved she had uttered was disgusting in the extreme, which could only be used by the lowest of either sex, and Sen tenced her to 14 days in the House of Correction. As regards the male defendants, he would strongly advise them to be cautious how they exercised their Quixotic feelings again in the streets of town on behalf of such persons as the woman by their side, and should infl . ct on them a fine of 20s, each, and he hoped this would really prove a caution to them in future. ...........,..—........—...._„„ r „..., MARKET NEWS.—crbis Da CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise the receipts of English wheat up to our mar ket this week have been only 1,440 quarters. Fresh up to day, by land carriage, the arrivals were limited, and the show of samples was small. The trade, however, was in a very sluggish state, at Monday' s d ec li ne i n th e quotations. Upwards of 14,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come to hand, that grain ruled very dull, at barely sta tionary prices. Thera was very little inquiry for barley, at late cur rencies. The value of malt was rather lower, and the trade ruled heavy. We were very extensively supplied with oat°, which sold slowly, at a further decline in value of quite Is per quarter. Beans and peas ruled about stationary, but country flour was rather cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WERE. Wheat.' I Barley. Malt. 1,440 730 1,450 English Irish Oate.
