LAW INTELLIG z`?,NCE.--ahis Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading country markets held on Saturday were only moderate ; yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, on lower tei ms. Barley and other spring corn, including flour, were lower to pur chase. (Sittings in Banco, b-fore Lord Campbe.l, Justices Co,e WThtman, an Erie.) THE QUEEN V, ROLLAND-BREACH OF THE PEACE TO COMMIT A DUEL. Very little change has taken place in the value of flour in the French markets; but in the north of Europe, prices have continued to give way. Our American advices state that the expoit trade was by no means active. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were only moderate. From abroad, we received 11,892 quarters of wheat ; 7,427 barley ; 19,318 oats ; 1,954 rye ; 2,096 beans ; 2,020 peas ; 4,020 linseed ; 2,384 rapeseed; 15 mustard seed; 505 sundry seeds, 918 sacks and 4,168 barrels of flour. This was a case in which a criminal information was preferred by the Hon. C. S. Clementi, 2, Grosvenor square, third son of the late Earl of Leitrim, and late a captain in the army, and M.P. for Leitriu., asst thu de fendant, of the Army and Navy for endeav)uring to exeite the complainant to tee committal of a breach of the peace. It appears that at the litter end of 1353 a difnaence exist° I between Mr. P. Urquhart, of St. Anne's county of Cork, and Dr. Beater, of the same place, relative to two letters written by the latter, in which the former considered Dr. Barter had used statements of an objectionable character to wards himself and wife. Dr. Ross, of Downe, a friend of Mr. - Urquhart's, had endeavoured to effect a setle enent but without success, and the complainant and de fendant were deputed, the former as the friend of Dr. Barter, and the latter as the friend of Mr. Urquhart, to settle the differences between them, and to communicate their views on the letters to each other in writing. It was in the course of arranging an amicable settlement in the matters of dispute between the above two gentlemen t` at led to the defendant's attempting to commit the breach of the peace complained of, by endeavouring to provoke him to a hostile meeting. The defendant came up to-day for the judgment of the C.mrt. Mr. Hugh Hill, Q.C., who appeared fur the de fendant, expressed his regret at having used the language complained of by the complainant, and expressed a hope that it would be considers 1 satisfactory. Sir F. Thesiger said that on the trial Lord Campbell suggested that a verdict of guilty should be taken by consent and the defendant apoligise, which was agreed to between the palm Ho regretted teat the defendant should have left till the last moment expressing regret ; but he (Sir F. Thesiger) was ready to accept the apology, on the defendant undertaking to pay the costs the com plainant had been put to in vindicating his conduct. The judgment of the.court was suspended accordingly. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., coastwise, was unusually small, and the arrivals by land carriage were very mode rate; hence the show of samples, of both red and white, was trifling. There was, however, no disposition shewn on the part of the millers to operate, and the transactions wore, consequently, wholly in retail, at about last Mon day's decline in the quotations. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The trade was certainly not quite so heavy as on Monday last, yet no improvement took place in the quo tations. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. The show of barley was seasonably good. Fine dry samples were scarce, and in moderate request, at last week's quotations. Inferior qualities sold at irregular currencies. Malt moved off slowly, at the late decline in value. We have to notice a slight, improvement in the oat trade, at previous rates. The show of samples was less extensive. Beans were in moderate supply and heavy request, at last wwek's prices. Thera was only a limited inquiry for peas, ou former terms. The flour trade was heavy. In some instances, American flour sold at a reduction of is.

The beasts came to hand in very middling condition, but the quality of the sheep and calves was goqd. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were seasonably extensive, and we observed a decided improvement in their general weight and condi tion. Owing to the continued decline in the value of rough fat and raw hides, the beef trade ruled heavy. The primest breeds were 2d, other qualities 2d to 4d, per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The best Scots sold at 4s Sd per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 3,100 short horns; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; from Scotland, 150 Scots; and from Ireland, 550 oxen. We were fairly with sheep, and their general condition was good, especially that portion of the supply derived from Lincolnshire. All breeds moved off slowly, at Fri day's decline in value of 2d per Sibs. The top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Ireland, via Liverpool, 300 sheep came fresh to hand. We Tien) moderately well supplied with calves, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at 2d to 4d per Sibs beneath last Monday's currency. The top price of veal was 5s per Sibs.

This was a criminal information against the defendant triad at the last Liverpool assizes, for a nuisance arisin4 from the defendant's allum works. On the trial the jury by their verdict found that the works in question were not of that injurious character to life which it was alleged, but they did find that they were of a very annoying character to the inhabitants in their vicinity. It was on the trial pointed out how the nuisance com plained of might easily be remedied, and the defendant undertook to adopt those means, but there had not been as yet sufficient lime to carry it out, and under the cir cumstances Sir F. Thesiger, who appeared for the defendant, applied to the Court for the postponement of the judgment till next term. Mr. Wilde, Q.C., for the prosecution consented, and the judgment of the Court was accordingly poEtponed till next term. THE BRITISH BANK-MR. STAPLETON'S CASE. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, on behalf of Mr. Stapleton, one of the defendants in the British Bank case, applied for a postponement of the trial, on the ground that if it should come on in the course of three weeks, as intended, his client would not have an opportunity of preparing his defence. Lord Campbell said it would be impossible at present to decide, or even satisfactorily to consider the ca,.e. The learned counsel might take a rule and the Attorney- General would show cause on Wednesday. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Befure Mr. Comtnissioner Goulburn.) IN RE POPPINEAII. This bankrupt was described as of Stratford, Essex, manufacturing chemist, and to-day came up for his certificate. The balance-sheet commenced July, 1854, with a deficiency of 1,3341, and he now owes to trade creditors 5,9831.; to creditors for cash, 0,4331. ; to ditto, holding security, 1,797/. ; profits, 3,546/. ; creditor by goods debts, 1361. ; property, 6521. ; ditto, o• hands of credi tors, 1,710/. The losses on the realisation of plant and stock, 6,586/.—This latter item was explained to arise through the nature of the stock which could not easily be removed and which WAS only valuable to a person in the trade, or about to commence. Mr. Nicholson, the official assignee, reported that the books had been well kept. Mr. llollams, for the assignees, did not oppose, but spoke rather favourably. His Honour, therefore, granted a certificate of the second class. IN RE LEAH ISA/CS. His Honour gave judgment in the case of this bank rupt, who was described as of Piccadilly, cigar-manu facturer, and who applied a few days since for her certificate which was opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had made false and fraudulent representations, and had concealed property. In the first place, when pressed by a creditor for money she had promised part payment ; and afterwards she said the firm, which was carried on under the style of Pickard and Co., be longed to her nephew ; and that her brother, who lived in the house, bad fled with 6001. His Honour said this was one of those cases in which there was the positive oath of the bankrupt on one side and facts and circumstandes oa the other, and it was his duty to decide on which side the truth lay. His Honour then proceeded to read through the whole of the evidence, and ultimately granted a certificate of the third class. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. The November session of the Central Criminal Court, the first under the mayoralty of the newly-elected, Lord Mayor, Sir R. W. Carden, commenced this morning, and, although barely three weeks have elapsed since the the grand jury were discharged at the last session, there are more than a hundred prisoners for trial already, and, in all probability, about twenty more will be committed before the session is brought to a cl,lse. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said although so short a time had elapsed since the court last assembled, there was a large number of prisoners for trial. It was a satisfactory fact, however, that there was not a single case of murder or manslaughter in the calendar, and although there were some serious cases of burglary, wounding witb intent to do grievous bodily harm, there was an absence of the graver description of charges, which had unhappily been so numerous at some of the recent sessions of the court. There was one case of very considerable interest to the commercial world to be disposed of, was a charge against two persons named Marks and Simmons, of having obtained goods to a very large amount in anticipation of bankruptcy, with a view to cheat their creditors ; and there was also a second charge of the same character against a person named Skinner and some other defendants. Although the cases were to a certain degree complicated, he did not anticipate any difficulty would arise to the grand jury. If so, the Court would most readily lend them its assistance. The grand jury then retired to their room. The judges who will preside during the session are Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Baron Watson. It will be remembered that at the last session an indictment was preferred against Lord C. Clinton and a person named Jeffree for obtaining money from stockbroker in the City by the deposit of shares, tl e transaction being alleged to be a fraudulent one, and the grand jury returned a true bill against both parties. The trial was postponed at the last session, and during the interval application has been made to the Court of ,Queen's Bench for a writ of certiorari, to remove the case into that Court, and the application having been acceded to, the trial will therefore not tyke place at the Old Bailey. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon have arrived at the St.. George's Hospital. FERRYBOAT RUN DOWN BY A STEAM P A CKET —A fatA accident occurred on the river Ouse at aoout seven o'clock on Friday night, by which bur persons lost their lives and two others had an extremely narrow escape f rom dreeNning. The Empress ste am p acket, which plies hetwoen Hull and Thorne, started from the former piaci on her return journey at five o'clock on Friday evening, with reheat 50 passengers on board. The night was dare, and tt it, vessel carried a light at her stem and ano her at her st rrn.. Ou approaching Whitgitt-ferry, on the river Ouse, the captain of the steamer observed the ferryboat cressiag die stream, and called out to the men in charge of it to back their oars. The tide was running strongly at the time, and the men in the boat either did not hear the captain or were incapable of getting the boat out of the w ay, and tho steamer struck th e f ra il cra f t i n t h e middle, lifting it up on one side and turning it com plete ly over. There were six persons in the boat, in dud rug two ferrymen, and they were of course all thrown into the river. Tee boatmen ana two other persons (a Mr. Sneesby, son of a cattle dealer living at Sheffield, and his cousin) perished. A master of a barge named Taarior succeeded in gaining the steamer, and was re scued ; and another man, a ratcatcher, who was greatly coneeirned about his ferrets (which were ultimately a :recove red), escaped by swimming to the shore. A party 'of mea were engaged all Saturday in dragging the river `tlor the bodieF, but up to the evening of that day not one -' , of them ,bad been found. WOOL.

COMMITTAL OF A NOTORIOUS BURGLAR, William Fitz, a welt-known thief, was brought before Mr. Bea don, charged with being found in the house, No. 11, Great Newport-street, Newport-market, Lir the purpose of committing a felony. It appeared from the evidence that the house in ques tion is at present nn ••ccupiel, and that on Saturday night, about hall-past seven, the complainant, George Brown, who has charge of the house, saw the prisoner go deliberately up to the front door, which witness had but a few minutes before secured by a Bramah lock, unlock it, and walk in. Witness, on recovering from his surprise at such a circumstance, ran over, and having called the prisoner, asked him who he was and what he wanted there. The prisoner raphel, " I want Mr. Walker." " Hookey," rejoined the prosecutor, " you must go with me to the station." The prisoner strongly objected to this, shook himself from his grasp, aLd ran away. Prosecutor followed, tilling out "Stop thief," as far as St. Martin's-lane, where he was stopped by a constable, and taken into custody. ~ Lees 199 C proved apprehending the prisoner, and found on him a paper of matches, a piece of wax taper, and a knife. Constable 331 A said the prisoner was a wel:-known thief. In the month of September, 1855, he was pre• sent when the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to two years' imprisonment far a burglary in Cranbourne street. The prisoner then gave the name of Biker, which was his real name. _ _ The prisoner said that was a lie ; Baker was dead. Mr. Bea,don, without any comment, committed pri- soner for three months. WESTMINSTER. DOG STEALING.—John Baker, a flash looking fellow, was charged with stealing a valuable house-dog, the pro perty of William Henry Gore Langton, RI., M.P. for Bristol. William Quick, of Ennismore Mews, Prince's Gate, helper in the stables of Lady Hawken, said that at 10 minutes past eight this morning he was standing near Prince's Gate, when he observed the dog. Prisoner then came up and by some means enticed the dog to follow him to a rather secluded spot where he pat a chain and collar on the animal and led him away. As witness knew the dog to be Mr. Langton's, he followed the prisoner into Sloane-street, and meeting with a police constable gave him into custody. Prisoner abused wit ness and asked hits what he'd got to do with the dog. Henry Robertson, butler to Mr. Langton, identified the animal. Mr. Payntett—What is its value. Witness—lntrinsic3lly it may not be worth more than a pound, but Mr. Langton would not take any money for it. It is a very old and faithful creature, and has been in the family many years. A police-constable said that when the prisoner found himself about to be taken into custody, be whipped off the collar from the dog's neck, and put it in his coat pocket, after which be kicked the poor animal and made it run away. Witness examined prisoner's coat for the cellar and chain for some time in vain, and at length discovered that one of his pockets had no bottom to it. Mr. Paynter—ls the prisoner known ? Inspector Craplin, of the B division—We believe be is, and wish a remand for a few days. Remanded according'y. THAMES, CAUTION TO PEDESTRIANS.—Bridget Driscoll, a vulgar looking and dirty prostitute, living at No. 2, Bull's buildings, Brook-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a purse containing a half sovereign and half a crown from the person of Mr. Charles Nicholls, residing No. 7, St. Andrew's-terrace, Rhodes welt-road, Limehouse. • Mr. Nicholls said that be was on his way home at two o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning, and was ac• coated by the prisoner in Margaret-street, Limehouse. She asked him for dd. to obtai❑ a cup of coffee, and he took out a purse to give her one, and directly she re ceived it she snatched the purse from him. He demanded his pure and money, and she refused to give it to him. He walked alongti le of her until he met with a police man, and then gave her into custody. Mr. Selfe—How came you to give her a sixpence I Mr. Nicholls—To get rid of her. Mr. Selfe—Oh, nonsense. It was very foolish of you, indeed. You will have plenty of these women asking you for sixpeeces if you are so free with sour money. Mr. Nicholls—She was very iwportunate, indeed. I told her several times to get away from me, and she would not. Mr. Selfe—Why not give her into custody imme• diately ? Mr, Nicholls—Because there were no police-constables near, . George Croft, 241 K, said that the prisoner was given into his custody on Sunday morning, and that he sound 2s. Bd, upon her, including the 6d. given to her by the prosecutor. Mr. Selfe—No purse or money was found Croft—No, sir. Mr. Selfe—Was she sober Croft—Yes, she was quite sober. Mr. Selfe—Was the prosecutor sober Croft—Yes, he was quite sober. Mr. Selfe—There is no offaxce of which I con convict the prisoner ; and if I was to commit her for trial no jury would convict her. Men have no business to be entering into conversation with these infamous strumpets, or to be giving the sixpences ; it they do they must expect to be robbed. The prisoner is discharged.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. Sllll-At th s per:o i of severe conanercial pres su! e, the on- arisfartory wanner in which 'he Aus tra:ilii postal service 16 conducted merits the serious attentiali of the Le.-!islature, the more so when we remember that the contractors, under the pretence of securing unusual speed and certainty for the transit of the mails, have obtained from the Secre tary of the Treasury 44,0001. per annum in excess of the amount demanded by anoth?r company com- ,eting with them for the same service. Notwith tandmg-, however, the high subsidy accorded, it .cold hardly have been pos , ible for the Mails to lave been conveyed in a manner more calculated to , ccasion loss and inconvenience to our Australian aerchants. _ _ . I ton far from desirous to hold the contractors responsible fur accidents over which they have no coatrol. This would be highly unreasonable; but what I desire to point out is that they hive been wee - CI - 1g in common forethought, and are responsible for the results of their own wilful acts, as well as for the neglect of precautions which it is clear it was iecuitibent on them to take. In tee first place, they are clearly responsible for tie loss and inconvenience r esu lti ng t o th e p u bli c from the break down of the Oneida for it is well known that the foundation plate of the engines of that vessel was eracke wive.) slie left S ou th a tpton • and Sir t'. Wool admitted in the House of Com mons that the Adiniral•y surveyor had in cense queuce report eu the vessel unfit for the mail ser vice. Notwithstanding, however, this grave defect in her machintay, she was wilfully sent out, and mark the result—she broke down on her very first mail voyage ; all postal steam intercourse with Australia was in co usequ:ince necessarily suspended for a month, and the homeward despatch of the mails for four sticceeiling months was disorganised. In the second instance, owing to the contractors owitt'ng the precaution of placing a rest ship at Suez—in shot, owing to their having the temerity to assume that no accidents could possibly happen to their ships, the last mail to Australia, contain ing, perhaps, the most important c:imnercial ad vices and warnings which ever left this country, will have keen de•ained one entire month at Suez. As to the accident which has occurred to the Emen, it is a casualty over which the directors themselves had no control, but it will not be denied that it is attributable to the uniccount,ble neglect of the servant of the contractors, toe cenanfauder of the ship, in permitting ; his yes-el to get among the reefs of the Nubian coast, instead of keeping to the beaten track of vessels—that is, to the central parts of a sea which is considered free from nearly all those difficulties of navigation which perplex the mariner in other oceans. Be the fault of the company's or their servant's, one of its immediate results is this, that while the entire correspondence of the Aus tralian colonies, to the expressible loss and harass ment of the merchants, will probably not be here for 14 days, iu the interim 526,0001. in gold inca pable of identification must lie profitless in the hands of the mail contractors until the letters and bills of lading arrive, and permit it to be claimed by the owners, whose feelings on the subject may better be imagined than described. If the public hers are silent under these circum stances, rely upon it the colonists, who have to pay cue-half of the subsidy, will not remain tongue tied. They will petemptorily demand that the con tractors should take those steps and. precautions adopted by all the large companies to ensure the due conveyance of the mails, or they will insist on her Majesty's Government forthwith cancelling a contract which has hitherto been carried out with so much loss and inconvenience to the public.— Yours, kc., AN AUSTRALIAN. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. A final decision has been obtained against Mr. Edmund Denison, M.P., and his fellow-directors of the Great Northern Railway Company, in their attempt to repu diate the rights of the preference shareholders, so as to throw upon them the losses occasioned by the Redpath frauds. Of the exhibition made by Mr. Denison throuhout the affair the public need not be reminded. A sufficient example has been enforced, and no public man is henceforth likely to commit him. self in a similar way. But the opportunity must not pass without attention being called to the illustration the case affords of the wrongs which directors having control of public companies with millions of capital can at anytime iiifl:ct on individuals upon whose claims they may choose to trample. In the present instance justice happens to have been obtained, because a few persons were found sufficiently bold to encounter the necessary outlay. But nine times in ten people under such circumstances submit vvithout a thought of resistance, and even on this occasion it was at one period understood the conteett was abeut to he abandoned. Every one saw that the moral question was clear, but the prospect of success against opponents with unlimited fueds, determined to take advantage of every technicality of the law, and to carry the struggle from court to court so long as there was any power of continuing it, seemed almost hopeless. If the cause had been that of a single shareholder, re dress would, of course, have been impossible. The question, therefore, arises whether Parliament should not make provision for a compulsory and inexpensive arbitration in every such case, allowing the arbi rators, if they sec fit, to refer it to the regular courts, the company then paying the expenses on both sides. Mn. MECHI ON AGRICULTURE. —At a meeting of the Coggeshall Agricultural Society on Thursday last Mr. Mechi in the course of the evening rose and said an allu sion had been made to his year of office and his return among them. They had all great duties to perform, but he assured them his heart came back with delight to the pursuits of agriculture and the varied objects of interest which it presented to the observer. He could not help comparing his position 14 or 15 years ago with what it was now. He then was considered little less than an im postor, or the promoter of some wild and visionary schemes, but he knew that he had strong prejudices to encounter, and that the truth would prevail. For in. stance, when he put up a steam-engine, it was thought the most absurd act which he could perform ; and now he had the gratification of seeing his neighbours possessed each of his steam-engine, and heard of one gentleman in Chelmsford having as many as 13, which be let out upon hire. The farmer had now found it to his interest to cast away the flail, which cost ls., as an instrument for thrashing his corn, and to use a machine which cost 3001., as, notwithstanding the enormous disparity in expense, the steam-engine would produce a cheaper result. The other day he e ent down to Wandsworth, with Mr. Caird and Mr. Morton, to see a scheme of railway adapted for agricultural purposes, pao ented by Mr. Halkett, by which he promises to plough land at a cost of ls. 7d. per acre, hoe it at ls. 3d., and get in the harvest at is. per acre, carrying the manure, &c., of the farm at lei. per ton per mile, leaving a margin for the interest of the cost of railway, which could be adapted to the farm at a cast of 241. per acre. By this scheme be might plough his land by night as well as by day if he pleased, and if it were necessary for the production of a good crop that the he'd should be brought in contact with the air they would see how important it was to have a long fallow. Mr. Mechi further described the nature of this implement, and expressed his opinion in favour of, its practicability. With reference to the appropriation o f sewage manure to the soil he said Professor Way had been sent to Milan for the purpose of examining drain aee, so as to adopt some scheme for saving the sewage of London, whine was of immense value, but which now ran into the Thames and was entirely lost. He believed the difficulty presented was merely a test of scientific sk:11, and that it only required some mechanical contri vance to accomplish the object. There were yet many things which might be done by agriculturists to great advantage, but he could not torget how much some had done, and that there was one gentleman present who every year burnt at least 1,000 tons of earth into ashes which, laid upon heavy clay land, greatly increased its fertility. Ilis experience of French agriculturists con vinced him that they were not behind themselves in point of intelligence, but he was also convinced of the vast superiority of Englishmen in point of capital and means, the cry of Fits me being, '` Where is the money to come from ?" Upon the question of thin sowing be was glad to find a great change of public opinion in favour of the adoption of such a plan ; one bushel per acre was enough seed upon his land, and, ,though he would not lay that down as a principle, he would recom mend them to try it, and he was certain of the result. He begged again to them, and he hoped that his friends would, as far ae precticable to them, carry out any sug gestion which he might have thrown out.—Essex and West Suffolk Gazette. THE MANAGEMENT OF WORKSHOPS. —A change is coming o;er the management of our workshops and ma nufactories ; the introduction of steam power, and the subdivision of labour, which has in a great measure been the result, has cans , d coloroai establishments to rise up which are really wonderful to behold. Fifty years ago, a m anufactory which employed 100 men was an esta blishment wroth) , of notice : now we may travel over this land and sec it thickly , tuldecl with works a rks w h ere from 1,000 to 2,000 hart are busly era 'Whe ther thisconcentration of hum, n power will be eventually better for the working classes, or otherwise, is a ques tion werthy of the most careful consideration, but which we will not now attempt ter discuss. One thing, how ever, is certain, that some of these manufactories, includiog the men employed and their families, have a population of 3,000 or 4,000, enough living people to occupy a small town. Amongst such important bodies of the English people there should be provision made of extent in proportion to the magnitude of the subject. it local government is found useful in towns, would not a system of management in these large co mmunities be g equally valuable ! We are induced to bring this matter t&ore our re aders, in consequence of vkariosnuscconversa tions with both the manager's andas large manufactories.
