" At the Recorder's Court of Quarter Sessions, in the St George's Hall, on Saturday last, a great amount of interest was manifested, on it becoming publicly known that thirteen of the proprietors of the principal singing and dancing saloons, in Lime-street and its neighbour hood, had been served with notices, after the grand jury had found true' bills against them, and that on that day they were to come up - for .tri a l. At the opening of the court 'all the parties were present, and the court was crowded; G. Henderson, Esq., / the Recorder, presided. At ten o'clock, Mr. Littler, in the absence of Mr. Simon, addressing the court, said : I appear to prosecute ten persons, nearly all :of them living in Lime-street, and keeping supper•rooms and other places of resort. You *.e aware that they were indicted at these sessions, and Grand jury have found true bills against them. They all been served with a notice, and are now, I They are indicted for a nuisance, but here will be a motion made on their behalf, and ..ts would be a proper time to call upon them to Liter into recognisances to appear at some future time. - , rae of the defendants, in court perhaps t Mr. I and sha wick : I appear for to mov The Recorder : I were ca could b+ during the court for ke the cases now witnesses are present, and if they lled'upon to enter into their recognisances they e relieved.

Shortly aft€ crowded, o'clock, the court being densely The Recorder said : I believe, Mr. Littler, you have something to say to the court. Mr. Littler : 'Yes; I appear to prosecute ten persons for a nuisance in Lime-street, all of whom, I believe, are now present. The Recorder : I have not seen the indictment, and do not know anything of the cases. They had better appear and plead, and then I shall have a better knowledge of the cases. Mr. Littler : They are present, and will surrender. Mr. Temple (who appeared for Mr. Emilie Barandon) I shall object to their pleading. Mr. Littler : I submit, until they have pleaded, they • are not before the court. Mr. Fenwick (who appeared for Mr. Bendano) : I have to mov Mr. Littler : move. atil they have pleaded, you cannot Mr. Fenwick : I submit that lam in order. Yr. Littler : Not until they have pleaded. Clerk of the Peace : They are bound to plead. 'enwick : But the motion I have to move will obviate their pleading, and render it unnecessary. The Recorder : I shall call upon them to plead. Mr. Fenwick: Then you rule that I am. not in order. The Recorder : Certainly. MR. BENDANO'S CASE The officer of the court then called upon Joseph Ben dano, who aprared in court, and took his seat at the table appropriated for the attorneys and their clerks.

Mr. Simon : You are here on that name, and I will be responsible myself if the indictment is amended. The Recorder : But I cannot take your responsibility. I object to the indictment being amended. Mr. Simon : I was in error ; it can only be done at the trial. Mr. Temple :- You can call the name, and no person will answer. _ _ _ The Clerk of the Peace then called Emilie Baradon, but no person answered. . Mr' Simon : I shall apply for a bench warrant against him immediately. The Recorder : I shall see that justice is done in this THE PARTHENON IN GREAT CHARLOTTE-STREET, The next case proceeded with was that against Mr. John George Stoll, the proprietor of the above establish ment, in Great Charlotte-street. The defendant appeared in person, and pleaded not guilty. THE AMEILICANHOTEL, LIME-STREET firs. Ann Wickham, the widow of the late Harrison Wickham, the proprietor of the above hotel, also appeared in person, and pleaded not guilty. THE LIME-STREET FRENCH SALOON. Matilda Colbut," better known as Madame Fische, and Herbert Templeman, were next called. The former answered in pe.rsbn, and pleaded hot guilty. The Clerk of the Peace : Where is Templeman ? Madame Colbut : He is abroad. He went away a few days ago. Mr. v Simon : I shall apply for a bench.- warrant for him, as I understand he was in Liverpool when the notice was served. Where is O'Brien who served the Inspector O'Brien was called, but he did not appear. Mr. Simon: Then he had a right to be here to prove the notices. The . Recorder : We cannot go on with this case, as we do not know whether he was aware of these proceedings. THE BOLTON-STREET SINGING SALOON . John Pulford and Eliza Bell, the keepers of the saloon in Bolton-street, were next called, and appeared in court. Mr. Deighton : Before the indictment is read in this case, I wish to make an observation to .the court, for the purpose of showing that it . really is not necessary for them to surrender or plead, until they are put upon their trial. This is an extraordinary proceeding, and one that is very unfrequent in this court. The bill has been pre ferred by some private person, nobody knows whom, and the grand jury find a bill, and then a notice is sent to the parties by some private attorney, and they are called to answer some charge, but what it is they do not know, nor have they any power of knowing. All the evidence is taken behind their backs, and they do not know what witnesses will be brought against them. This is not the usual way of proeeding, when persons are charged with an offence, and I ask if they should be called upon to plead to a charge, when they do not know what it is ? Is it sight ? lam about to take an objection to the pro ceedings, and tushow that th e y should be set aside. They have not received an official, notice of these proceedings, and have no right to be present at all. They have not received any notice from an officer of this court.- Some attorney has sent them a notice, bat any person might do that as a joke, and tell them that a bill had been found against them. - The Recorder : If any person did play such a joke, I should punish them for contempt of this court, and that very severely. Deigliton : I submit that the offence should be named in the notice, the same as it is in a bench warrant. Now, let us look at the form of a bench warrant. (He here read the precise form of a bench warrant, which stated the nature of the offence committed.) I contend, therefore, then, that the only proper course to proceed is by a bench warrant, and that by these proceedings the parties are not called upon to plead, as they will not be tried add the next sessions. They ought to have time to consider their, defence. The Recorder : I shall call upon them to plead. If they do not, I shall issue a bench warrant, and. then compel them. • • Mr. Deighton I shall advice my. clients not to plead., The Recorder : Then, as they are present, I shaltorder _ them into custody. Mr. Deighton: I shall certainly advise them not to plead. - - - The Defendant however answered to his name, and they were both at once ordered into custody; the Recorder directing that they should be. placed in the dock, which was accordingly done. They '.were• then called upon to answer the indictment, and pleaded not THE SINGING ROOMS LIME STREET Walter Thomas of the- above establishment; also appeared in person, and pleaded not guilty. ANOTIIER LIME-STREET- HOP William Derry, the. proprietor of a dancing saloon in Lime-street, was then called, and appeared in person. He pleaded not guilty. HOP 1N 'BOLTON-STREET Henry Mandeville, the proprietor of 'a dancing saloon in Bolton-street,' was then called, and appeared ifs person. The indictment having been read aver to him, he said, 4 i I am guilty of keeping the ,hop in thlton , street, and that. is all I know about it.'! The Clerk of the Peace then explained the charge in plain language, upon which the defendant said, with much indignation-, "I deny it sir," which was taken as a plea of not guilty. . . All the defendants having pleaded, the court proceeded to consider the ARRANGE3LENTS FOR FUTURE -PROCEEDINGS Mr. Simon said : I am, with Mr. Littler, instructed to prosecute in these ten cases, and as the parties haTe now all pleaded,• I am ready to hear the applications that their counsel may have to make on their behalf. • Mr. Fenwick : I appear for the three defendants, Bendano, Derry, and Stoll, and by my advice they have pleaded not guilty. But on their behalf I now 'beg to move, as the notice was not delivered to them until Thursday last, and as they have not had sufficient time to prepare their defence, that their trial be 'postpone4 until the next sessions. - I also ask that they be furnished with a copy of the indictment and depositions, with the names of the witnesses, that they may be in possessimi of the real charge that has been brought against them, and that they may be in a position 'to apply, if necessary; for a certiorari to the Queen's Bench. He then proceeded to read- the affidavit made by- Mr. - Snowball, the attorney engaged for the defendants, which formed - the basis, on which the application for the postponement of the trial was based. The Recorder :. As to the postponeMent of the ,trial, I think that a very reasonable request. Mr. Simon : I think it very natural, and-I do nOt wish to throw any unnecessary impediments in the way ; but I must say that in this case I have not been treated with the usual courtesy given to the proiecuting counsel. I did not know, until a very short time since, that there would be any application made on behalf of the defendants, nor had I until the last minute seen the affidavit, when Mr. Temple, at my reqUeSt, handed to me: The Recorder : 'The facts were patent on the face of it, and must come within your 'own knowledge. With re gard to the adjournment of • the trial Until the next ses sions, I cannot see how there can be any objection to that, and as to harin ,- the cases tried in another court, I can only say that I shall be extremely glad if such should be the case, and I do not wish to commit myself to any prevent it. I can only )001, I did not know a: even that hey would be brought before'the heard of it by aeeident Mr. Simon : I have no objection to the cases being postponed until the next sessions ; but I think that I h ave . _ 'es of ti e parties, when we consider th e nature harged—that of creating a, naiSance ih the will be a continuing nuisance. I will put it to the Court to consider how we are brought here—at - a moment's notice, and without knowing who our accusers are. I thereford ask the Court that our own bail should be sufficient, for we have in these proceedings been unfairly treated. Mr. Sinion: I deny that the 'defendants have been treated in a summarily manner. They could only expect it ; and as far as Bendano'S case, he has frequently been before the Magistrates. 1W Iy, Mr. Penwick TenylE lobject to your stating that unlesS you 'der : I cannot hear that unless you file an affidavit Mr. Simon : I will not object to the defendants' being supplied with a copy of the indictment, and the names of the witnesses,. and their eiidence. Indeed, it Very fair that they should have them. • Mr. Fenwick:..Unless we do have :them, we are y in the dark, and do not know what we have to The Recorder : I do not know what you may think right, .but, looking at the position of the ,parties, I think their own recognisance in £5O will be sufficient. Should they not appear, your object will be served, e they. will be bani s h e d from the town. Mr. end will not t to be on one side prosecutors will a : Our object is, to punish them, and that ie gained if they do not appear. . the talk about -ri;Coguisanees seem I wish to have some proof that the NV 16LA any mistak e , as perhapS we may be there, m citere id they suouiti not. Let them be called into court, that we may•see who. they are. It is done so ia the Central Criminal Court when a bench warrant is issued. • Mr. Simon said that should be. done The prosecutors were inspectors O'Brien And Hough; - and . policemen Edward George and John Griffin. The defendants and the prosecutors were then. bound over in their own recog,nisances of £5O, to appear at the next sessions to answer the charges preferred against them. It was understood that fresh proceedings would be taken against Mr. Barandon. The Court was crowded during the hearing of the application, and much interest was manifested in the result. LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE-SATURDAY BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. CAUTION TO MILITARY SERGEANTB.—Sergeant Robin: son, on the recruiting service of the 89th Regiment, brought up a young man, named Charles Eaton, charged with having deserted that regiment. He said he enlisted him in April last, and he deserted soon after, and he never saw him since until last Wednesday, when he arrested him. The prisoner said, he was never in Liverpool until last Wednesday. He was in Stafford shire, in one place, from February, '5B, up. to the present week. He ° crave such a circumstantial account of himself, that Mr. Mansfield said, latterly he had so many sergeants bringing up alleged deserters, and he fOund so many false charges of that description ' that he was resolved to use his utmost endeavours to find out whether such were false or not. A eoaple of days ago a sergeant brought up an alleged deserter, and it appeared that he was in New York at the time the sergeant swore he enlisted him. Sergeant : I have had upwards of 100 recruits, and this is the first I have brought up. Mr. Mansfield : lam not speaking of yoU, sir. The state ments made here are very loose. I shall, in future, communicate with the military authorities, and when I find a sergeant making a mistake, either wilfully or otherwise, I shall take care to have him severely punished. I find I have been very much deceived in this case, and many a poor fellow is punished who never enlisted at all. Mr. Cobb : Both myself and Mr. Bluck have had several cases where false charges were made by these sergeants, and we have frequently proved it. Mr. Mansfield : Yes, I remember you had. Sergeant : A deserter's word is never taken in the army. Mr. Mansfield : I know that in the army it is not, but recollect that you are now sir, in a civil court of justice, and from that piece of impertinence, I strongly suspect this to be a false charge. I am of opinion, that the rewards given for the arrest of deserters is the cause of the loose state ments made by sergeants. Let the man be remanded, and let enquiry be made about him. I shall take care to have proper representations 'made to tthe military authorities. THE CASH Box ROBBERY.—Heron Roberts, Joseph Eccleston, John Williams, and EdWard Millar, were brought up on remand, charged with being concerned in the robbery of the cash box from Mr. Caddy's public-houSe, Islington. Mr. Snowball was for Roberts, Mr. Dodd for Millar, and Mr. Cobb for Eecleston and Williams. The evidence, which has already been given in full, on two or three occasions, was gone over de novo. Mr. Cobb succeeded in getting off Williams, and Mr. Dodd got off his client. The pri sone:•s Roberts and Eccleston were sent for trial. CHARGE AGAINST A SHIPPING AGENT.—A respectable lOoking person, named' Patrick Kelly, described as.a licensed shipping a r gent, at . 18, Barton-street, was brought Up, by detective officer Laycock, on the following charge : The officer said,the prisoner was Oivento him in charge, in consequence of his having shippal some sailors, and for having received money from them under faLse . pretences. A coloured sailor, named George Greenwich, said, - I know the prisoner, who is a shipping master. - I 'went to his office and asked him to ship me ; that was on the 17th inst. He shipped me to go in . the Charter Oak, as an able seaman, at £2 103 a mOnth. I went to the ship, and went to work there, when I was told he, had shipped five men too many, and that he knew he had done so. The mate then sent four of us on shore, and the prisoner refused to give us back our money. Anne , 'Watson, of 10, queen -street, boarding house keeper, where the sailor lodged, said, T took him to Mr. Kelly's office, and he shipped ,, him, and. lifted his' p "shippine , note dud he (the sailor) paid him 225. %en he (the man) was sent on• Shore I went and asked Mr. Kelly for the•money, but he would not 'give it to me, aild I am at the loss of the money and five week? board. Layeoek . : After he was locked up, he offered to pay the money. • Mr, Mansfield (to Mr. Kehoe) You must show, by evidence,. that the prisoner; at the time he shipped this . man, did so knowing that he had already shipped more Men than the _vessel required. This I 'think, if proved, Would shoW a: false pretence to get the - money and note. Mr. Kehoe : The American consul is „so much am - laved by this sort of work, • that there is nothing left for us but to take up the • first offender. The prisoner said he had offered the money back, and also offered to get the . man anothpr Ship. The man was seat ashore for being" drunk... He (prisoner) had . no intention to defraud.him, as he offered the money back, and wanted to provide him with another ship. The prisoner was remanded to this day, but subsequently; on the application of Mr. Cobb, ho was admitted to CURIOU3 PIWNBROKING TRANSACEI'JN. -7- ItLiGAL respectable,looking young, man, named Thomas Stedman, described ns a paWnbroker, carrying on business at_ 334,. Vauxhall-road, and living in Don , caster-street, was charged by Themas Oldfield with having stolen a worth £3O, from a" place in Great Howard-street, Where it was left bY the prisoner. The case was this : It appeared from the evidence of several persons, that the prisoner lent Oldfield £25 on the, car, when be was very ." hard up." Subsequently Mr. Stedman got repairs done to the vehicle, and paid for same. He left it at a place in Great Ho:Ward-street, but finding that Oldfield was trvin ,r: to take it away, without paying what he owel,. Mr. Stedman, .that morning, removed, it to another place, whereon 01dfield called a policeman, .and gave him into .custody, on a charge of felony. These were the facts as proved, when Mr. Mansfield asked the officer how he took the prisoner into custody. ? The officer said, he did not know there, was any dispute about the cab, and Its . the charge was one of felony, he could .iaot refuse taking it. His Worship said it was very plain that the prisoner had been very ill used by being. taken iutosustody_ If lie thought proper.to brill , an action for false imprisonment lie could do so, and ' if the jury gave ,him damages, they would give him tremendous damages... Ile diSeharged the prisoner. , , • , , • , BEFORE MESSILS., , AND DIXON . . In. the case of Mr. John Fiddler, the lie used person for a house.in Staaw"s-brow, : who Was on Friday :fined £2O, and ,ordered to ,close it, Mr, Clarke Aspinall, appeared on Saturday, and asked,, the latter,part of the order to be abrogated, as the house had been set to a respectable person before the summons was issued.,, Mr. Chalkier said, so far as he was concerned _he had no objection,. and the case stood over to have Mr. -Cropper's-opinion, as he was the other magistrate who heard the Cuarous AFFILIATION CASE. -A young woman, named Mary Smith, a native of Scotland, who :_now resides at 45, Beacon-street, - summoned John Clarke, a man connected with. the fire department • of. the steamer City Of Washington, for the support of her-child, of which she alleged he was the - .father.. Mr. Blink., was ,for the . defence.- The peculiar features of the case were these : Tile woman .stated that she, is married, and believes. her husband to be alive in America. Ile left her-more than three years ago. She then took with a." married man,. named Plumbe, an d he maintained her apart from his wife, for some time, and she became a mother to him. After that he left her and his wife. She was in search of him one night. on - • • board a Glasgow boat, when she met the prisoner,. : and then took up with him. He is..also a married man, .and she lived eighteen months with him as his wife, without the real wife knowing it. In November last the affair transpired, and then he left her, and- it was now for - the support of a fine child, about eleven months old, that she proceeded against him. Both Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Plumbe 'were were present, and, from' their gestures towards the fair Smith, they would have made very short work of her, had they been allowed in fearful proximity to her head- cress. Mr. Eluck did all he could (and that's not little) to defeat the claim, bit failel, and an order for is. 61. a Week was made against Mr.'Clarke. The Kelso and Veloz have arrived from China with 1,411,50.0 pounds of tea- _ The Funds sheaved renewed heaviness,. owing almost exclusively to news received of a decided fall on the Paris Bourse. The Funds left off, one-eighth to a quarter per cent. lower than yesterday. The fortnightly : settlement in. shares and foreign stocks commenced to-day. In the Discount Market to-day the .demand is rather more active ; but -first-chat bills were taken, at 2. to 21 per The Bank have now commenced to make their usual quarterly advances, up to the :13th of April; on approved mercantile bills having as much at six months to run, and on Government securities.

In consequence of the uneasiness which prevails in all quarters, a further considerable rise took place this.afternoon in. the Exchanges on Austria. Bills on Holland and Hamburgh were euqUired for, and the tendency of the rates was rather less favourable to this country.—Daily Hetes City Article, I riday Evening. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL,- Saturday Evening. -, The tone of the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day has been firm, and a fair business has been done, the sales reaching 8,000 bales, inclusive of 2,000 taken for speculation and export. Prices. have been steady but not higher. In sympathy . with the London markets, there has been considerably buoyancy in the Liverpool Stock Exchange to-d.ay, and although the amount of business done has not been large, the prices have been higher.

The announcement as to the evacuation of the Roman States,. by the troops of both France and Austria, was regarded especially as satisfactory. The fund have risen fi per cent., and in every other department of the Stock Exchange great buoyancy prevails. English, French, Lombardo-Venetian and Indian railway shares exhibit a general and important advance. The telegrams from Paris, however, indicate, thus far, little response to the buoyant feeling shown here. - Consols were first marked 951, and, after touching 96,. finally closed at 951 to 96 both for money and the 9th March.

The dispute between the associated "com panies and the Eastern Counties Company, as to the terms and principles of the agreement with the latter, was, still involved in Chancery. After some discussion, the report was adopted. The directors of the Midland Great Western Railway Company have decided upoll ing to their proprietors, at the forthcoming half yearly meeting, a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, for the half year ending 31st December last. • A meeting of the Scottish Australian Invest ment Company was. held 'yesterday, when a !'reso lution was passed for, raising 200,0001. additional capital, in 5 per cent. preference stock, for em ployment in the colony.

At the request of the proprietors present, the direct Ors .gave the assurance .theit they will not issue more 'than 100,000/. without previously obtaining the of the proprietary at a general meeting On the French Bourse a ris nearly one per cent. the opening price nem has occurred. of g atrou The Market is described as bein g• very. firm, in consequence of Mr. Disraeli's speech. Confi dence seems to be expressed in 'a peaceful solution of the existing difficulty. . The Press of to-day says : " Sardinia, we believe we may state, has raised a loan, of £2,000,000 in Paris, through the medium of the Credit Mobiller, This circumstance, which before four o'clock yes terday must have been regarded as significant, if not alarming, loses now much of the force which would have attached to it in the absence of the, statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in reply to Lord Palnierston." The-Dundee Warder, speaking of the flax, yarn, and linen trade, says : —A small amount cf business in flax has been transacted during the week at last week's prices. Sales have been made of Riga P. IS (old) at 5.50 ; St. Petersburgh 12 heads £59 lOsrand-X6O ; 9 heads, £5O ; Konigsberg coarse Slanitz, £32 nett cash, - There has been a fair in quiry for . firie descriptions of towS and codillas, and the transactions that have taken place have been at full prices. Of fine qualities of jute a considerable number of sales have been made at firm prices. Tow descriptions are not, so much wanted. There has been more doing this week in flax and tow yarns at a slight reduction in price. For jute yarns there is little demand, and prices have a downward tendency. No alteration in either the demand or prices of linens. The English Funds opened this morning without alte ration, and have remained inactive throughout the day, a tendency to renewed weakness from political causes being contradicted by the supply of money, and the prospect of its increase from the favourable appearance of "the Continental Exchanges. It is represented in semi official statements from Paris, that the mission of Lord Cowley to Vienna is not on. the Italian but on the Danubian question. A reaction of about s per cent., reifo'ited from the Paris Bourse, did not produce much effect on this side. The Produce Markets during- the week have undergone little alteration, but the uncertainty with respect to Continental affairs tends to restrict operations especially for exportation.--Times City Article, Friday Evening.

LONDON PRODUCE.—Saturday is unusually a quiet day with the produce markets, attention being more engaged with the settlement of prompts than the opening of. fresh engagements; but, notwithstandinF, this, a more cheerful feeling is apparent, and a better inquiry is experienced for most articles. Cotton, in particular, is more in re quest, and holders have been encouraged to ask higher prices, which buyers have not, however, as yet been dis posed to pay.

LONDON MINING.—In the mining market to-day considerable activity prevails, especially as regards shares in Great Wheal Alfred, South Caradon, Wheal Edward, East Wheal Russell, Wheal Trelawney, and West Caradon. Priees in all instances are firm. There is still no movement of importance in foreign and colonial mining securities. Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal market : "No real progress appearing to be made in the settlement of the .Italian question, business continues to rule quiet. Copper : This metal participates in the general heaviness, but its position is regarded favourably by many, and high . relative prices are obtain, able for fine foreign. Iron is firm in price, but the demand is limited. Scotch pig tends downwards. Foreign tin finds a steady market, but Eng lish is -not wiling largely. Spelter continues to - droop.
