Mr. Malice, Q.C., and Mr. Stevens, appeared for the
Mr. Bacon, Q.C., for Lord Vernon, said that he was
desirous of stating with respect to his lordship, that he
was anxious for the fullest publicity. He wished only to
secure the benefit of the children, and in all other respects
toobeerve the provisionsof the deedof arrangement. Whoever
bad said, or should say, that Lord Vernon had any other
object in wails stated what was false, and what they must
know was false. The children were DOW, in fact, under the
care of the trustees. The learned counsel then referred
to several telegr.,nis which had passed between the parties.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fine.)
IN RE JABE2 RIVIERE.

The bankrupt was a boot-maker, of Princes-street,
Leicester•quare. This was the sit, mg for examination and
discharge, but the account* had not been Bled. It being
stated that arrangement* were in progress for paying the
creditors a composition under a deed of arrangement, an
order was made annulling the bankruptcy. The debt. are
only a few hundred pounds.
Mr. Bredl►ugh asked his Honour to remit the court fees,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

The July session of the Central Criminal Court war
welted this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Re-
corder, Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P., Alderman Sir IL W.
Carden, sad Alderman (labile!. Alderman and Sheriff J. C.
Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Jones, Keene. Mackrell and Ferrer,
Coder Sheriffs, Ac., &a
The fint edition of the calendar contains the names of
133 prineers, and there are no less than six charges of
wilful murder to be disposed of
The Recorder, is his charge to the grand jury, said he
=tzt to inform them that the number of charges in the
were larger than might be expected, and be
was sorry to see that there were no less than five cases which
involved the leer of human life. He alluded first to the
ChM of Thomas Lidbitter and Mary Aoa Payne. In she
former use the prisoner was charged with the murder of his
wife sod child, end in the latter she was charged with W-
higg her infant. His lordship said there could be no doubt
as to the facts, but a question might sties hereafter as to
the state of oiled of the priaooen at the time that the act
was committed. However that might be, if the bets
were fully established it would be their duty to return
true bills, and it would be for the petty jury to determine
se to the state of mind of the prisms/re. He was
also sorry to see that there were three charges
which appeared to become more and more common every
session. He alluded to child murder. In one cue a woman
wu charged with cutting her infant's throat, and there could
be very little doubt ma to the came of death ; in the next
the case was somewhat different. The prisoner had been
secretly delivered of a child ; upon being taxed with it she
said the child would be found up the chimney, and in that
ma.it would be for the grand jury to say whether death
was the result of violence. In the third case the circum-
stances were entirely different. It appeared that the dead
body of a newly-born infant wee found in the garden of a
house at 118, Kiepland.road. There was ample proof that no
one in that have was the mother, and it beasmeobvions that
thechild musthavebeendroppedover the fence. The •
wu living at the next house, end there wu to
show that she had been very recently confined ; but there
was no positive identification of the child. It was, however,
said that a man was seen to limn the house where the pri-
mmer lived with a box on his shoulder, and there was proof
that tone of the inmates sent out any parcel on that day,
and it was therefore suggested that the box was seat out by
the servant, arid contained the body of the child, which
had afterwards been deposited over the fence. Hie lordship
thee alluded to two charges of manslaughter, both of
which arose from prise fights. In one case there
were three premien, one of whom wen the principal
and the other two monads, and his lordship remarked that
though they might not have actually struck the blow, if
they were aiding and abetting in the fight, they were
equally responsible. There was a charge of forging an
Austrian note, which, he remarked, was, by a recent act
of pediment, punished the same as it the note were one of
our own country. In conclusion, his lordship said the other
oases were generally of a character which would not present
uyrimtba tier,
and he dismiased the grand jury to their

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

BOW.STREET.
rrporrarr "ma" gmesnox.
Mr. W. Love, chief officer of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, accompanied by Mr. Bishop, of New
Bond-street, applied to Mr. Corrie for • summons against a
lady named Hicks, for causing a valuable dog to be cruelly
destroyed under the following circumstances :—lt appeared
that Mr. Bishop, the owner of the dog, called at Gray's-
inn-square, about a week ago, leaving the dog in hie cab,
with particular directions to the cabman to look altar it.
When he returned to the cab he found that the dog had
been permitted to escape, and besides causing every inquiry
to be made he advertised in the papers and printed bine
offering a reward for the recovery of the animaL
Suhss-
gaently it came to the knowledge of Mr. Bishop. that a
Miss Hicks, an elderly lady, reaidiog in Southampton-
buildings, bad seen the dog in Gray's-inn.square, and had
given some man a sixpeoce to destroy it, "because it wu
panting at the mouth," and appeared •'likely to faint." The
man who killed the dog lived in North-mews, near Miss
Hicks's residence, and it had been ascertained that she had
previously employed him on the same business, She was
connected in some way with a "Dog's home," but the so-
ciety altogether repudiated her acts in adopting each mea-
sures, instead of causing stray dogs to be taken to the
" Home." Mies Hicks justified her conduct by alleging
that the dog, in her opinion, was going mad ; but there was
not the slightest reason for this presumption, and, as it ap-
peared to be a favourite pastime of the lady, it was consi-
dered desirable, for the protection of all docownen, that
her proceeding@ should be checked.
Mr. Corrie—But you uk for a summons on the ground
of "cruelty." The question then is, Mr. Bishop, did abs
cause the dog to be put to death in a cruel manner!
Mr. Bishop—The man first tried to bang the poor animal,
and failing in this, knocked it on the head. I ensure you it
is the greeted blow that has ever been inflicted on me and
my family.
Mr. Carrie—Possibly the lady may have been mistaken,
but you cannot show any intentional "cruelty."
Mr. Bishop (greatly euitedi—Was it not "cruelty" to
me—to my niece—to all my family! "Love me, love my
dog." It has broken up our peace and happioesa at home.
We would not have parted with the dog for half a million
of money. Is a woman to go unpunished for such a crime
ae this' for deliberately killing en innocent, beautiful, harm-
less dog. became it was merely " panting " a little'
Mr. Corrie—l can make some allowance for your feelings,
and if they can be soothed by pecuniary compensation, no
doubt you can proceed against the lady by action for
damages ; but it does not oome within my province to in-
terfere at all in the came.

Mr. Love rid he feared there was • difficulty in the case,
the lady having no doubt acted from a mistakes and not •
malicious motive ; but Mr. Bishop was very anxious that the
society should investigate the matter, and he had done so.
Mr. Corrie-1 am very sorry that it has happened ; but
cruelty to the animal must be shown, not to the owner. The
act does not deal with the Iscerated feelings of individuals.
Mr. Bishop—Peelings! This dog was my life, my wile's
lift, and my niece's life. I would sooner have lost every gun
in m shop.
Thy e applicant then retired, but returning almost imme-
diately, with his own act of parliament in his hand, be
said—A thought has occurred to me, sir. Cannot I charge
this woman with " stealing" my dog? She bircs • man to
take it from Gray'Dinn-square to • mewe is Southampton-
buildings, there to be cruelly killed. Is not that an act of
febloy

Yr. Coale—Certainly not, unless you eau chow that she
did so for the sake of powering its skin or carcase. At all
events, I should pot commit a person on such a chine.
Jam aware that you obtained the set, but you cannot dud a
clause to that effect in it. As I said before, the lady may
have acted very improperly. I give no opinion on that
riot • but I am certain you comsat charge her with
cruelty" or "Morey."

The Pacific Railroad Company have advertised
for 4,000 toga of Americas railreed from to be 'applied to
the company.

ATLANTIC ROYAL MAIL COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)

An adjourned special meeting of this company
was held this day at the Loudon Tavern ; Mr. JOHN CHAP-
MAN is the clam . . .

The CHAIIIKAN said he had much pleseure in being able
to state that that morning the directors had received from
the government a draft of the deed of contract, which
was nearly a restoration of the original contract of
1859, without the obnoxious interpolation of Lord
Stanley to compel the company to land mails at Newfound-
' land. This contract would require looking over, and in
consequence another adjournment would be necessary.
After remgrking that the fleet was in a condition to put to
sea at a few days notice, he moved a further adjournment
till the 3rd of August.
Mr. Alderman Riirtrouni, in seconding the resolution,
expressed a hope that a good future we. in store for the
company, and satisfaction at justice having been done to the
company by the government.
The motion was then agreed to.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)

The number of beasts is not quite so large so on Monday
laat, but it is quite equal to the demand. Indeed a clear-
ance cannot be effected. The supply of sheep and
lambs is unusually large. Trade is very heavy, and a
considerable number remain unsold. Calves are also
plentiful, and prices are not better. From Germany and
Holland there are 1.630 beasts, 9,330 sheep, 377 calves. and
110 pip ; Spain. 120 beast. ; Francs. 33 calves ; Scotland,
55 beasts; Ireland, 140; Norfolk and Suffolk, 300; and

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two clOwoi.

The stock markets remain quiet. There is no
symptom whatever of speculative animation. The
funds are well supported, at Saturday's prices. In
English railway stocks the variation does not
exceed 1 per cent. in either direction. In the
foreign stock market some dulness is observable,
realisations having, on the whole, predominate&
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Belittle opened at
68fr. 560., being sc. lower than on Saturday.
Consols are now quoted 921 to f for money, and
921 to 1 for the account (August 6). The official

The Metropolitan Zinc Rolling Company (Limi-
ted) is introduced for the purpose of embarking in
the business of rolling zinc and copper. The con-
sumption of sheet zinc is largely increasing, and
only one mill has hitherto been in operation in
London. The directors have obtained premises
adjoining the City-road basin, where steam engines
and mills capable of rolling 20 tons of sheet zinc per
week have been erected. Operations will therefore
commence at oncs. The directors have alsopur-

chased nearly the whole of the machinery of -the
}lines Royal Copper Company, in payment for
which, as well as for the works, one-half of the con-
aiderstion will be taken in paid up shares. The
capital is 100,000/., in 10,000 shares of 101. each,
with a first issue of 5,000 shares, of which nearly
one-third have been subscribed for privately.
Another new undertaking is the St. Thomas
Floating Dock Company (Limited). The object is

privilege from the Danish government for 21 years.
It is stated that the cost of an iron floating dock
will not exceed 80,0001., and the capital has ac-
cordingly been fixed at 100,0001., of which 17,250/.
is stated to have been immediately subscribed in
the island. _ _ .

The Levant Herald of the Ist inst. refers in the
following terms to • proposal for the establishment
of a new bank at Constantinople :
A project for the formation of a new commercial bank,
to take the independent place of the converted Ottoman
Bank, has been influentially mooted, and baa so far met
with very general local favour. Certain restrictions in the
statutes of the new Imperial establishmeot will, it is feared,
work inconveniently for owners of second class paper, and
as the majority of local hills may fairly be classed in th it
category, • large amount of exchange business will thus be
diverted into other channels, to the loss of considerable gains
by the bank, and the emban ligament of many who, though not
of first class credit, would still make profitable and safe
enough customers. It is to meet the wants of this large
class that the proposed 'theme has been thought of. There
is, we believe, a good opening for such an enterprise, which
whilst it would of course get none of the government busi-
ness—wherce so large a share of the late "Ottoman" gains
accrued—would still have a large and profitable field for its
operations, without at all trenching on the business of the
I new Imperial eotahlishment. It is said that • large pro-
portion of the capital would be locally forthcoming, though
the promoters of the enterprise would, the current rumour
states, wisely seek to pave prestige to their scheme by
Lunching it in England and making it essentially English
in character and management.

To the manner in which the Imperial Ottoman
Bank is beginning to beneficially perform some of
the functions of a government financial department
the same journal bears testimony in the annexed
paragraph :
The Caine d'Amortimement has been abolished, and its
functions transferred to the Imperial Bank, no whose be-
half Mr. Charles Lafontaine will for the future superintend
the payments formerly made by the defunct bureau.
