MANEFIELD. Tarn JOLLT CA:I3:dEN. - John Ilimixiington, cab-twner and driver, and beerhouse-keeper, queen's-square, was charged with being . drunk and not able to manage his car in Copperas-hail. The prisoner said the charge was false, that he was as sober as any judge. The bridewell-keeper who tool the charge, said the prisoner was quite drunk when brought to the station. In reply to his Worship, the biidewell-keeper said the prisoner has been there eighteen months ago on a similar charge. Mr. Mansfield :He is fined ss, and let him be reported tt the Watch Committee, who no doubt will deal properly with his badge. —Richard Evans, another car driver, was 'charged with being drunk and furious driving in Berry-street. This fellow was also fined. ss, and to be reported to the Watch Committee. Norma TO GENTLEMEN.—MT. J. E. Norwood, an Ameri can gentleman, stopping at the Adelphi, charged "a great looking" female named Mary Anne Leichin, for having stolen a bill for 420 ,dollars, -and £8 in gold from him. Mr. Cobb defended. It appeared that the complainant went out of the hotel the previous evening, between eight and a wal';, and going up Mount-pleasant, at the corner of Newington, two men hustled up against him, when the prisoner rushed at him, put her hand in his pocket, took out his book with the money and ,-,,,pnting him following her. nine o'clock, to t Some time after, along with a policeman, she was sighted, Ind then she ran away followed by the officer, and after a he got into a brothel in Hotham-street ippeared also, that she had in the meantime changed her clothes and put on a wig, so as to disguise herself. The veral cross-examination of Mr. C )bb was as to the identity of the prisoner, but the gentleman s wore p os iti ve l y t o h er. There was only ss. found on her. Mr. Cobb contended that there was no case to go to a jury, but his Worship thought different, and sent the prisoner for trial. [lt appears that there is a gang of men and women w h o l ur k a b ou t h ote l s at dusk, and "don" gentlemen about and rob them, as in the above instar. The police iian, was brought up 'by ) of having committed an girl, named Anne Doyle, sixteen years on 1. qason, 516, on a cha it assault on a namel ( of age. The affair took place in Poplar-street, and being Fully proved, the prisoner was sent to gaol for six months, A HORRIBLE AfOUTRFULL.—A sailor, named Robert Bell, was charged with having bitten the nose of a man, named John M‘Donnell. Mr. Bluck defended. From the evidence of three or four witnesses, it appeared that, on the previous evening, the complainant was in Park-lane, when he was attacked by the prisoner and another man, and knocked down, when the prisoner bit the nose off M•Donnell, and flung it on the street. Mr. Bluck said, after such evidence, he would net offer any observation. The prisoner was sent for trial. A FRIGHTFUL KNIFE.—John Cook, an Anglo-Yankee, was charged with having made a promise to take the head off one Edward Starkey, a boarding-housekeeper, at 3, Fulton street, which promise he was prevented from putting into execution by several and " divers" men, women, and chil dren, who risked their heads, and who now appeared in court to support the charge. The knife, with which the prisoner threatened to "do the deed," was exhibited, and it certainly was a frightful-looking implement ; it was over two feet long, and about four inches b roa d. Th e pr i soner was committed for a month. - BEFORE MESSR DIXON AND HUTCHISON, THE MYSTERIOUS COTTON CASE.—The case of the cotton alleged to have been stolen from the ship E. W. Sewell, a full report of which appeared in our paper of Monday iy, before the above In addition to the gistrates, in the )risoners, Andrew Hart, Central Court John T] was brought up in custody, on a charge of being concerned in the alleged plunder. Mr. Deighton (barrister), instructed by Mr. Cobb. appeared for Hart ; Mr. Black was for Davis (the chief mate), and Mr. Snowball appeared for Tracey. The case for the prosecution was conducted by Mr. Inspector liehoe. The evidence given in the case was just the same as on Saturday, but the case was very much more clouded than it was on that day. It is said that a hard case would take a Philadelphia lawyer to unravel. And although Alexander the Great . cut the gordian knot by a " wipe" of his sword, it would have taken 150 Philadelphia lawyers, and two or three dozen of Alexanders to have unravelled this . case. The only things that were at all ible in the whole proceedings were, that the ship came here with cotton. That was fact No. 1 ; fact No. 2 was that the ship was discharged and "jerked." The third fact was that the captain gave permission to have the "sweepings" of the ship taken away;. and the next fact was that Mr. Robert Clough, the chief superintendent of police, and Mr. Kehoe, the chief inspector, and Mr. Mawds ley, an ordinary inspector of police, and several police constables, with the help of the legal gentlemen at all sides, made such a "mess" of the whole case, that the worshipful Jeedinas from beginUing to nd. 'Of course, their Worships having got into the mud knf In., ;ion that wrx it in the best way they could, and that was by sending all the parties for trial, although our reporter adds that, they iv elson's fonument any of the prisoners, no more than tbere was against the genuity of Mr. Kehoe and his colleagues, the ratepayers of Liverpool are put to expense in this prosecution, which, before a jury of men of ordinary intellect, cannot stand a second. Does not this case call loudly for magistrates who know the law, and for a public prosecu even presumed to have read some of . --- public time was taken up in this case for. about four hours. Truly Chapel-street law wants reforming—Rather! CHARGE AGAINST A BROKER.—Thomas Kelly. a broker. Jr, who might bE statute at 16, Greetham-street, was charged, udder the Pawnbrokers act, with taking some chairs, and a clock, and other things in pledge, from Sarah Anne Crow, the wife of a painter, of 43, Atherton-street. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the Crown. Mrs. Crow appeared very reluctant to give evidence, but subsequently she stated that she pledged chairs with the defendant in January last, for which in the shilling.

The health committee are as solicitous of preserving the trade: of the .drown as any other persons.] We have done all in our power to prevent —.6 ceh we admit to be a nuisance, and, as we the niiisanc lave not exonerated gtiitt to be een fined since 1853, we think • Arr. .M‘Gowan . I have dearly ;pro Ipt to BTLFOIVE THE NORTHERN TIMES, THUiSDAI, MAY 26, 1859 case, and you have admitted it. There is no necessity for the escape of smoke such as is complainedof, and as Messrs. Macfie, who are in a much larger way of business than you are, have been fined repeatedly for thesame offence, I do not see why that you, when the case has been proved, should not also be fined . Mr. Wainwright :It is utterly impossible that we can prevent the smoke. In answer to Mr. M‘Gowan, the Inspector stated that he had instructed the servants, and he 'could himself shut off the smoke in one minute and a-half, or less.; and that, if it was permitted longer to remain, of coarse, he had a right to complain, as it was gross carelessness on the part of the stoker to allow it. The magistrates dismissed the case. Mr. M'G j ewan : As you have dismissed that case, it is useless for me to plead with the others, as they are all alike. Mr. Peel: That 'is for us to consider. Mr. Houghton: Ido not think that such an observation has a right to be made. Mr. Peel : We have a right to hear each case on its own merits. Mr. M'Gowan : You have dismissed the last case, and I tell you that the others are precisely the same. You have dismissed it, and the next case, that of Mr. Gardner's, is precisely the same. He allowed, and he is a brewer, the escape of smoke for seven minutes—a time which I, on behalf of the health committee, consider a ("Toss negligence on the part of the employees, when it has been clearly shown that it could be prevented in a minute and a-half. I have a duty to perform, and I will do it. The health committee investigate these proceedings well before they are brought before the bench, but I have done my duty when I hear their decision. Mr. Peel : You had no right to make the observation you did. The case of Messrs. George Gardner and Co., brewers, of Comus-street, was then gone into. Inspector Wignall stated that, on the 14th inst., he saw dense volumes of Black smoke issuinc , from the defendants' chimney, from 4.39 to 4.46, after having served them with four notices. Mr. Gardner pleaded that' he had done all he cauld to prevent the nuisances, and the case was dismissed. A similar complaint was preferred against Messrs. Leisman and Welsh, coppersmiths, of Vulcan-street, who, or , after four notices, had, on the 13th inst., permitted the Isis case was also dismissed, the defendant admitting the offence, but said that he could not prevent the nuisance. Mr. M'Gowan then expressed it as his opinion, that it was no use going on with the other cases, as they were all alike; but, as Mr. James Mellor, brewer and distiller, of Hunter-street, wished to explain to the public that he had done all he could to prevent the nuisance, and did not blame the officers for the part they had taken, his own case was heard, when Inspector Wignall proved the offence, which had taken place on the 13th inst. The magistrates dis missed the case. nuisance The London and North-Western Railway Company were the next defendants. Mr. Inspector Wignall proved that, on the 12th inst. he saw dense volumes of black smoke issuing from the tall shaft at Edge-hill, from 2.3 to 2.11, and again from 6.16 to 6.23. The representative of the company was in attendance. He did not deny the offence, but said, after what had taken place on that day, consider ing the extensive works, he did not consider, as others had been allowed to smoke for ten minutes, that the company could be complained of for smoking fourteen. Mr. M'Gowan did not dissent from that proposition, but what he denied was, that the nuisance had a right to be per mitted for more than a minute, or a minnte and a half. As the defendant had been repeatedly fined in the penalty of £5, the Magistrates said they could not look over the offerc3, and inflicted a penalty of 40s. Messrs. Francis Peck, spice-grinders, of Back Colquitt street, was fined 40s. ; Mr. Robert Simpson, rice -miller, of Burlington-street, 20s. and costs, for precisely the same offences as above, with this exception, that they had pre viously been before the court for similar offences. These cases having been thus disposed of, - Mr. M‘Gowan said : In the case of Wainwright and Co., on the part of the health committee, I shall ask the bench for a case, in order to have the opinion of the Queen's Bench on the subject, as I am not satisfied with their _ decision. Mr. Wybergh : You must give us the point of law on which you ask for a case. Mr. McGowan : I shall be ready to do that, but I now say the evidence was against the decision. Mr. Wybergh : You have no right to say that is not asking for a case. Mr. M'Gowan : I shall not ask you what course I shall pursue. I say I shall ask for a case for the opinion of the Queen's Bench. Mr. Wybergh : But you have not put the point. Mr. M‘Gowan : I do not do so now. Ido not ask for your opinion. The case is not now for you to advise the magistrates. I give notice that I shall, within five day ask - for a case to take before the Court of Queen's Bench Mr. Wybergh : You may do so.

A worthy teacher of the gospel, and a staunch teetotaller to boot, was taking his usual morning walk, when he was accosted by a decent farmer in the vicinity with a cordiality which somewhat surprised him. After the usual salutations had passed, the farmer, who seemed at least " half seas - over," inquired with a knowing wink, " Ho° are ye this - "Very well, I thank you," replied the preacher. no a headache ?" queried the other. "No, I never responded his, reverence. "Eh ! tiff tumbler,! Was it no you that 'north' " Hae MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVEAPOOL, Wednesday tvening There has been a - slightly improved demand in the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day, and a fair amount of business has been the result, the sales reaching 7,000 bales, inclusive of 1,000 bales taken for specu lation and export. Prices remain without change. The Liverpool Share Market has again been quiet but steady, and a fair amount of business has been done with prices showing a slight tendency to improvement. The transactions were :-Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 59 ' • Eastern Counties, 101, 10 9-16 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 841, 85, 85 c, 85, 851 ; Lancaster and Carlisle third shares, 91 p ; London and North Western, 861, 8644, 87 ; ditto one-eighth shares 2 d ; Manchester, Shef field and Lincoln, 331; Midland, 931, 94 ; York Capital Stock, 69; South Eastern, 18;,18 9-16 ; Dutch Rhenish, 71 d.

The London Stock Market, although not active, continues to show an improvement. Consols opened steadily this morning, and throughout the day showed a tendency to improve in price, finally closing at 91i to 921 for Money, and 911 to 92 for the Account. Other securities closed as follows : - Three per Cents., 904, 91 • Bank Stock, 219, 222 ; Exche quer Bills, Large and Small, 18, 23 pm. The London Share Market has been strong, and prices improved, but the amount of business actually transacted was not larm b e. The following were th e closing quotations : -Ambergate, 54, ; Caledonians, 741, 75; Preference, 99, 101 ; Eastern Counties, 52, 53 ; East Lancashire, 83, 85 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 68, 70 ; Great Northern, 96, 98 ; Ditto A, 78, 80; Ditto B, 126, 128 ; Great Westerns, 52, 53 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 841, 851 ; Brighton, 108, 109 ; North Western, 861 871 ; South Western, 861, 871; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 33, 34 ; Midland, 94, 95 ; North British, 51, 52 ; Pre ference, 106, 108; North Eastern-Berwick, 84,85 ; Leeds Northern, 42, 43 ; York, 69, 70 ; N or th Stafford, 54, 5 ; South Eastern 614, 621 ; Turkish Sixes, 63, 64 ; Ditto Fours, 100, 102 ; Great Western of Canada, 134, 131; Ditto New shares, 7, 61; Grand Trunk of Canada, 71, 7 1 . The Traffic Return of the London and North Western Rail Way for the past week shows the receipts to have been 65,6651. against 63,1281. last year, being an increase of 2,5371. The receipts of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company were 24,6021., being an increase, of 496!., and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 11,3701., being an increase of 1,023/. The Discount Market becomes more easy from day to day. First-class bills are freely taken at 31 to 31 per cent., and a vast mass of money is lying idle. The apnlications at the Bank of England to-day were very limited. The principal difficulty attaches to the position of those joint-stock banks which are now oppressed under the weight of the money called hastily in, at the cost of a panic in the Stock Ex change, upon the fabricated rumour of 6. Russo- French coalition. _The next instalment of 25 per cent. falls due on the Indian Loan on the 14th of June, and will require about 1,250,0001., minus such proportions as may have been paid in advance. The balance then re maining to be paid will be about 50 per cent. Of the 329,800/. in gold by the steamer Africa, from New York, about 250,0001. yesterday reached London, of which the larger portion was taken by" continental buyers. The inquiry for the Continent, however, was less active, and it is not improbable that some portion of the late supplies may be de tained here. No bullion was withdrawn yesterday from the Bank, but 36,000 sovereigns from Constan tinople were, sent into the establishment, and another parcel of 17,000 will be sent in to-day. In addition, 90,000 are expected shortly to arrive. The shipments of Silver to India on ordinary mercantile account have - now dwindled to a small amount, but government continue their remittances, having engaged about 150,0001. by the Bombay steamer of the 27th inst. If a similar sum be sent by the following Calcutta vessel, the 3,000,0001. promised will.have been completed. . The Calcutta and China mails reached Suez on the 17th inst., and the light portion, via Marseilles, is expected to be distributed in London about Friday next. It is understood that the steamer Argo, of 2,315 tons register and 500 h orse -p o wer, -has been chartered by Mr. Lever, for the line between Galway and New York. The Stock Market remains as inanimate as ever, but business, though of small amount, is of 'a favourable character. The glut of money contributes much to the prevailing firmness. The Funds were decidedly strong to-day, and closed at a fresh advance of 4..t0 a.per cent. The — Discount Market becomes more easy from day to day. First . class bills are freely taken at 3-4- to 31 ; per cent., and a vast mass of money is lying idle. No bullion was taken froni the Bank. About £250,000 of gold from New York reaehed London to-day, of which the larger portion was taken by the Continental buyers. The inquiry for the Continent is, however, becoming less active. The shipments of silver to India, on ordinary mercantile account, have now dwindled to a small amount, but Government continue their remittances, having engaged about £150,000 by the next Bombay steamer.— Daily News City Article, Tuesday Evening.

The steadiness of the market is owing almos entirely to the support afforded by a number of small investments on the part of the public: In the discount market, to-day, several transactions took place at a fraction below 3 per cent.
