in defence that the bills were forged by SIDNEY,
who came forth from his hiding-place to rebut the
imputation. He did not deny that he affixed
BACOT'S name to the bills, but asserted that he
had BACOT'S authority for doing so. SIDNEY, it
appears, had become deeply involved in debt. He
had money help from Mr. JOHN LOYD BACOT,
who was his cousin, and the latter had authorised
him, as SIDNEY deposed, for the saving of time, to
put his name to bills, without consulting
him, whenever a pressing emergency arose.
This permission SIDNEY employed until his
kinsman's credit, before largely used, was
pledged by this means alone to the addi-
tional extent of 3,300/. Mr. BAooT's good offices
did not stop here. He offered to get SIDNEY into
Parliament for the borough of Athlone, to lend
him money which he hoped to obtain on mortgage
on his own estate from a dying sister, and to help
in securing a loan from an insurance company.
All these projects failed. SIDNEY, besides out-
aide debts, had incurred liabilities re famille
to his cousin, CHARLES BACOT, the brother of
JOHN LOYD BACOT; and to Mr. HINDS, who
had married his wife's sister. In the autumn
of 1866 his embarrassments became over-
whelming. Ho owed between 20,000/. and
30,0001., and the interest exacted from him was
at the rate of 16 or 17 per cent. JOHN LOYD
BACOT complained that the money transactions
between himself and his friend were getting wind,
and that the rumour of them was doing him serious
injury. On August 14th, 1866, the two BAGOTS
who have been named, with a third brother
(BERNARD), Mr. HINDS, and Messrs. BLOOM-
FIELD and FINDLATER, solicitors, dined, by
appointment, at SIDNEY'S, for the purpose of
looking into and arranging his affairs. SIDNEY
alleges that he then stated that JOEIN LOYD
BAoor had become responsible for 4,0001., and
HINDS for 2,0001., Mr. BLOOMFIELD, the solicitor,
for 2,0001., and that none of them repudiated the
obligation. On hearing his debts, which were
mostly in bills estimated at between 20,0001. and
30,0001., Mr. FINDLATER, the solicitor, "gave a
" whistle," threw down his pen, and exclaimed
that "it was awful." SIDNEY proposed to assign
1,500/. a year to his creditors out of his profes-
sional income, and to give up to them the con-
tents of his house, which would realise about two
shillings in the pound. The meeting was ad-
journed to the following day at Mr. FINDLATER'S
office. Early in the morning, however, SIDNEY,
listening, as he confesses, at a key-hole overheard
a conversation between his mother-in-law, Mrs.
HINDS, senior, and her son, HENRY, both of
whom were staying in his house, of which con-
versation he took notes. Mrs. HINDS asked her
son whether he had signed any bills for SIDNEY,
and on hie denying this she urged him to let the
creditors "sell SIDNEY out," and not to allow her
money to be wasted in paying his debts. Later in the
day, J. L. BACOT called On SIDNEY, and informed
him that HINDS bad taken " a step too dread-
" ful to be mentioned," which appears to have
been the issue of a warrant for SIDNEY'S arrest.
Repeated visits took place on this day, the
upshot of which was that SIDNEY, acting ae he de-
clares under terror, agreed to burn, and did burn, '1
in the presence of JOHN and CHARLES BAGOT, all
the correspondence and documents in his posse.-
aion relating to his money affairs, and signed and
sealed, under the influence of threats and wine, a
letter declaring, falsely, that he had put J. L.
BACOT'S name to various bills without that gentle-
man's authority. A bill of sale giving up all his
effects was executed, for which he re-
ceived between five and six hundred pounds.
He was then, under the stimulus of the
sight of a policeman in coloured clothes lurking
about the house and said to be armed with a
warrant for his arrest, got upon a car, and
put upon board the steamer for Holyhead,
having posted, according to his statement, the
letter of confession to J. L. BACOT as ho passed
through the streets. This is the case directly for
the validity of the bills on which the money-
lender }lmam sues Mr. J. L. BAoor, and indi-
rectly for the re-establishment of Mr. SIDNEY'S
character. It rests upon the testimony of SIDNEY
himself, supported by that of his wife and son,
witnesses who can scarcely be considered inde-
pendent, and of a solicitor of the name of BERLIN,
who charges BERNARD BACOT with having ad-
mitted the genuineness of the notes, and suggested
their repudiation in order to induce SIDNEY'S cre-
ditors to settle.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
(THIS DAY.)

The Pope's allocution, Mr. Gladstone's pro-
gramme at Oldham, and the fresh capital required by the
Midland Railway are the chief topics discussed by the
Tines. On the subject of the railw►y the proposition of
the directors is represented to be, in plain terms, a pro-
posal to mortgage the receipts of the company to the ex-
tent of 500,000/. • year.l.What are the expectations of
fresh income to be set against this fresh capital? Will the
investment pay its own cost, and leave the shareholders
neither better nor worse off than they are now' Will it
fall short of this, and leave them with something to make
good ; or will it actually pay more than its oat, and yield
• balance of additional profit for their use and benefit'
To speak more exactly, will the receipts of the Midland

week, or by less, or by more?
The Daily News sees in the attack on the Martello
Tower, near Queenstown, a part of that system of irrita-
tion which the directors of the Fenian movement desire
to keep up by striking a blow, now here, now there, and
always where it is least expected. It may also be that •
semi-military aspect was advisedly given to this last out-
rage in order to impart • quasi-belligerent character to the
operations of Feniani•m. Every such warning as this
tend, to make the precautions of the government more
complete, and to such a contest there can be but one
ending. Respecting the Clerkenwell sufferers, the Daily
News trusts the Relief Committee will take the good advice
of Mr. Disraeli, and call a meeting, either in the City or
in Westminster, if not in both.
The Standard treats lightly of a letter which it has re-
ceived from Ireland insisting on various reforms if the uni-
versal disaffection of the country is to be removed. The
objections to the church establishment appear to it as
rhetoric instead of facts ; the education grievance is not
one felt by the mass of the people ; and the landlords, in
our contemporary's opinion, do not appear to be unjust.
The Telegraph looks to see the Abyssinian question
brought to an early and decisive issue. Magdala could
not hold out a day after we had got a battery upon the
hills near Tanta, which completely command the works
and the interior. It is satisfactory to know that, as late
as the 11th of November, the captives were well ; and
that they had heard of the landing in Annesley Bay. We
can easily imagine how eagerly they have watched the
mountain gaps since then for the signs of their coming
friends.

Treating of the approaching abolition of the monopolies
of the Hudson's Bay Company, the Star remarks that
Canada will assume the jurisdiction and control which
now belong to the imperial government, the rights of com-
panies or individuals being reserved ; but any settlement
that may be arrived at with the Hudson's Bay Company
will be subject to the approval or otherwise of the perils•
went of Canada. The company has now the best prospect
it will ever have of getting reasonable terms for the extinc-
tion of its privileges. The country mud be colonised, and
if Canada does not step in the United States will.

On the other side, is the testimony of Mr.
BERNARD BAOOT, who declares that SIDNEY ac-
knowledged his forgeries, that the letter confess-
ing them was suggested by SIDNEY himself, that
on a sketch of such a letter being shown him,
SIDNEY tore it up, saying, " do it far better
" myself," then sat down and wrote the letter
which he now declares to have been extorted
from him, and that it was posted, not as SIDNEY
declares under force, in Dublin, but after he had
reached London, when he was free from direct com-
pulsion. The postmarks on the letter confirm this
statement ; and show that SIDNEY was acting
voluntarily in placing the writing in J. L. BACOT'S
hands. Mrs. CHARLES BAGOT, whose husband
became mad and was removed to a lunatic asylum
a few days before receiving notice of the trial,
confirmed the testimony of BERNARD ; and Mrs.
BOBBYN, the sister, and Mrs. HINDS, the
mother of Mrs. SIDNEY, depose to SIDNEY'S
oral acknowledgment of his forgeries, and
flatly contradict the testimony of his wife.
Between these opposite affirmations the jury
were not able to determine. They do not appear
.o have regarded the intrinsic moral probabilities
on either side as turning the balance of credi-
bility. That JOHN LOYD BAtoOT should have
allowed a needy and desperate man authority
to sign his name ad libitum to bills of ex-
change, that SIDNEY, having first burned the
papers which might have proved his innocence,
should have made a written confession of for-
geries which he had never committed, and that
if the confession were made in a moment of dis-
traction, the persona who extorted it should have
allowed him to carry the document embodying it
with him to London, where he was his own
master, that being there he should have delibe-
rately posted it to the address of the person who
was interested in using it against him—that men
who had been his generous friends and helpers
up to the last moment should suddenly be-
come dark and deadly conspirators against him,
and should engage in the plot almost
all those connected with him by near ties ;
or that on the other hand these men, betrayed by
one whom they had served, should have deemed
his confession and flight the only means of pro-
tecting them from pecuniary loss, and him from
the penal consequences of his acts—these things
are alternatives of more or leas likelihood between
which the Dublin jury were unable to decide,
and we will not usurp their office. Whatever
the truth as to the facts which are in dispute, the
facts which are not denied add another example to
many of the follyandguiltinto which thelavishspirit
of the age, unscrupulous in the acquisition and
vulgarly ostentatious in the display of wealth,
precipitates its victims.

Mr. Denny opposed the application on the ground that
the proposed composition of es. in the pound was insuf-

Mr. Doris also opposed for creditors amounting to 2501.
The resolution had only been assented to by creditors for
3081. It was believed that the estate was capable of
yielding more than 10e. in the pound.
Mr. Lucas appeared for the bankrupt.
His Honour maid it was for the interest of all the
creditors that the most should be made of the estate, and
he would give them an opportunity of looking into the
accounts with a view to that object being attained.

THE SIDNEY CASE.

IN as aoatai
The bankrupt, who came up in custody to apply for Lis
release, had kept the Duke of Clarence public-house,
Hope-terrace,Notting-hill. Debts, 8.257. He ascribes hie
failure to depression of trade in the district, and his wife's
debts previous to marriage, which he did not know of.
On behalf of an opposing creditor, it was asked that the
bankrupt should tile accounts before being released • but
it appearing that he had been in prison two months, had
made repeated applications, and that the amounts might
have been asked for before his Honour granted the release,
and directed that the bankrupt should the cash, goods, and
deficiency acoounta before passing his last examination.
IN RE W. C. SINGLETON.
This was the case of a lunatic bankrupt, whose petition
had been presented by Mr. Aldridge, the solicitor to the
official assignee, in accordance with a provision to that
effect. The bankrupt, formerly a merchant's clerk and
traveller, of Colchester-terrace, Pimlico, is now confined
in the tiurrey County Lunatic Asylum at Brookwood,
having previously been a prisoner for debt at the suit of
his wife, who had taken proceedings against him in the
Divorce-court.
Mr. Kent (from the office of Mr. Aldridge) said that
the object of the present application was to prevent the
bankrupt being sent back to Horsemonger-lane gaol after
he left the asylum, which it was feared might ease a re-
turn of the malady.
His Honour (after referring to the 106th section under
which the proceedings ware taken) asked if the bankrupt
was approaching recovery, and was answered in the affirm-
ative. _ _ _

The case of " Harris v. Begot," which has been
for many days pending, and which involved the
question whether Mr. Sidney, Q.C., had committed
forgery, concluded to-day ; and the jury after deli.
berating for two hours and a half were discharged
without a verdict.

Another correspondent telegraphs as follows :

CORK, FRIDAT,

A gentleman from the asylum stated that the medical
officer of the establishment had expressed an opinion that
if the bankrupt was sent back to gaol it would undo all
that had beau done.
Mr. Bischoff, for the detaining creditor, did not oppose,
but said that the bankrupt's wife thought that the longer
he was in custody the better, as she was apptehenaive of
violence from him. Re had been once imprisoned on that
account.

His Honour said he should not interfere in the case
until after the return of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, in
order that he might have an opportunity of consulting
him.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

MARLI3OROIIOII.STRECT.
THE INHABITANTS OF OINBARD-STREET, ISOHO, AND THE
FOREIGN PEOSTFITTES.
Three foreign women, named Pauline BonnetUbe,
Laura Mutual, and Veruinie Liverbonne, were charged
before Mr. Knox with loitering in Gerrard-street, Soho,
for the purposes of prostitution, to the annoyance of the
inhabitants.

Mr. Charles Wakeling, upholsterer, of No. 36, Gerrard-
street, Soho, said that between 4 and 5 o'clock the previous
afternoon he saw the prisoners loitering in Gerrard-street
for the purposes of prostitution, and he as well as the in-
habitants of the street were much annoyed by the practice.
In answer to Mr. Froggatt, who appeared for Bonne-
chose, the witness stated that he did not see Bonnechose
speak to any gentlemen yesterday, though he had on other
occasions.

Mr. Turner, of No. 33, Gerrard-street, moderator lamp
manufacturer, said that he saw Liverbonne loitering about
the street yesterday afternoon, between half-past 2 and
half-past 4, and saw her speak to and follow five or six
gentlemen. He also saw Plimnel loitering about the
street. He had known two of the prisoners for eighteen
months pest to be constantly in the habit of accosting
gentlemen. Women of the prisoner's class were in the
habit of congregating opposite his house—five or six of
them together, and his customers frequently made remarks
about it, and gentlemen who had called upon him h►d told
him that they had been annoyed by them.
Mr. Miller, of No. 24, Gerrard-street, also spoke of the
annoyance he had received, and said that he had been
obliged to send his &tighten away from his residence
into the country, owing to the scenes that took place in
the street. His business was that of an engraver, and
the young men in hie employ, in going to and fro, were
caught hold of and annoyed.
Mr. Knox said he would not trouble any more of the
gentlemen he saw in court to give evidence.
Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, proved seeing the prisoners
speakang to gentlemen yesterday afternoon, and to know-
ing them all as prostitutes.
In answer to Mr. Froggatt, the sergeant said that Bonne-
' chose was a very quiet female, and that he had never had
Ito caution her. _ -

This city has been thrown into a state of intense excite.
ment by the report of a very daring but happily blood.
lees Fenian outrage. At Foaty, on the left bank of
the river Lee, there is a " marten° tower," one of
the buildings erected during the French war for the
purpose of giving warning to the interior in case of
invasion. The garrison of the tower consisted of only
two artillerymen, and late on Thursday night a body of
men crossed from Passage West, a village on the other
side of the river, took the garrison by surprise,
and carried off a number of muskets and a quantity
of other military stores deposited in the tower. After
performing this daring exploit the party recrossed the
river, carrying off their booty in safety. The tower is
about six miles from Cork and three from Queenstown, is
situated within • few hundred yards of the Cork and
Queenstown Railway, and adjoins the demesne of Mr.
Smith Barry, the member for the county.

DEPLORABLE DEATH IN THE STREET.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

•
This forenoon Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex
coroner, held an inquiry at the Crown Tavern, Whitecroes.
street, St. Luke's, relative to the death of ;Charlotte-
Hannah Dibley, aged 5 months.
Ruth Dibley, 7, Eliaabeth.place, Whitecross-street,
said that she was the wife of a hat presser. On
Christmas Eve, at 10 o'clock is the morning, witness
went out to sell artificial flowers in the street.
She had the child on one arm and the basket of
dowers on the other. When she got to St. John's.
square she felt the child grow stiff ; she raised the shawl
and found that it was dead. A gentleman pawing by led
her, for she could hardly stand, to Dr. Franklin's
gein St. John's-street. Witness's husband had been
lonurtori employ three months before he got a situation of
15a. a week three weeks ago. During that three mouths
she and her husband and the deceased had to live upon
what she could make by selling sealing wax in the streets.
Some days she made ls. Cal., and other days nothing.
The average was • 'billing a day, and out of that she paid
26. 3d. a week rent. At the end of two months, when
everything had been sold for food, they applied to the
parish, and got Is. a week and one loaf of bread, and
an order to break stones. Her husband was too ill
to break the stones, however. Witness also was ill, SO
was the deceased. When the parish surgeon's assistant
came he said that the child was slowly dying from want
of nourishment, and that it did not want physic. Wit-
nail asked bins would he give an order for some nourish-
ment, and he said " No, for if he did it in one nee he
would have to do it in all."
The Coroner said that it would be better to give
nourishment in all cane rather than have people die of
starvation.
Jane Slatley, who lived in the same house, said that the
Dibleys were very sober, well-conducted people, but they
were so badly off that they used to live all three on a
shilling for three days.
Dr. Henry Franklin, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, said
that the child was brought into his surgery quite dead.
The body was dreadfully emaciated. There was not
a particle of fat In any of the organs. Death arose from
mesenteric disease from want of proper food. The stomach
and intestines were empty sad transparent from long con-
tinued privations.
The jury returned a verdict that the deoe ased child
was found dead from mesenteric disease resulting from the
privations of the mother, and want of proper food."

FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT IN VICTORIA-

STIOEET.

Last night at a quarter to 12 o'clock a sad acci-
dent, by which a man, whose name is unknown, lost his
life, occurred in Victoria-street. It would appear that
the deceased was creasing the road opposite the
Westminster Palace Hotel, when he suddenly found him-
self in front of the horses of a Camden-town
omnibus that was being rapidly driven to the Victoria
station. In front of the man there was a little boy walk-
ing, and behind him there was another boy. A spectator
informs us that it would have been impossible for the
deceased when he saw his danger to have got out of the
way of the omnibus without knocking down either of
the boys who would have, of course, been instantly killed,
and strange as it may appear, he did not rush out of the
way, but allowed the horses to knock him down.
The wheels passed over his chest, and his body
was dreadfully crushed. Some policemen then ran to the
spot, and the omnibus was stopped. The unfortunate
man was carried to the Westminster Hospital, where he
died in twenty minutes. The body was searched, and
some groceries and a card about single men at lodging-
, houses was found in the deceased's pockets. He was a
respectably-deemed man, and looked like • mechanic, of
about 50 years of age. Upon the deceased's death taking
place the police at once arrested the driver of the omnibus
upon the charge of causing it, and the prisoner will be
taken before a magistrate. We may Oats that the police
have orders to arrest the drivers of all vehicles that run
over and kill persons in the streets. They never inquire
as to whether blame attaches to the party arrested or not,
but they leave that part of the affair to the magistrate.

Mr. Froggatt raid that as all the inhabitants wanted was
that Bonnechose should cease her calling, at all events in
that locality, and as she would promise to do so, he had to
ask that only a small tine might be imposed as a caution.
Mr. Knox said he wished the inhabitants to know that
mime they came to the court he was powerless ; at the
same time he considered it a monatrens nuisance for •
number of gentlemen to be taken from their businesses and
homes to attend the court. The inhabitants it was quite
clear were injured in every way, end they had a right to
look to the authorities to protect them, and he should fine
the prisoners 40s. each or a mouth.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY OF NITRO-GLYCERINE NEAR
GATEMEAD.—Yesterday (Friday) the quiet little village of
Chestermoor was thrown into a state of anxious excitement
by a discovery of that dangerous explosive material nitro-
gip:wine, having been miWe. From information we have
been able to obtain it appears that the owners of Chea-
termoor Colliery were sinking • new furnace ahaft, end
the contract was being carried out by a Mr. Hutton,
and another sinker whose name we have not
been able to &wedeln. The contractors have been in
the habit of using nitro-glycerine in sinking the shaft, and
have kept it in the house of Mr. Hutton, who resides in the
village of Chestermoor. Yesterday about nb.. of this
deadly liquid was discovered in the pantry in
Hatton's house, there being a large family in
the building. Shortly before the discovery, Hutton had
been reading the papers about the lamentable explosion
at Newcastle, and must have remarked that he had
some nitro-glycerine in the house, for the police sot to
know, and instantly took possession of it. It is evi-
dent that Mr. Hutton was not aware, before he read
about the explosion, of the dangerous nature of the mate-
rial he had in his house, or he would have communicated
with the police. The nitro-glycerine is now in possession of

REMARKS.
. . _

In re-examination by Mr. Gifford the witness said that
Michael O'Brien was the Same man who was hanged at
Manchester by the name of Gould.

Amelia Tye, assistant to Ur. Kylock, identified the pri-
soner Burke, whom she had seen in December, 1853. He
was known there as "E. C. Winslow." He wanted
to make a purchase of percussion caps. I showed
hhn some samples. He said he liked that
brand. He also said he was a novice. I told
him what quantity we had in the warehouse.
He said that would do. I told him to come next day
end see Mr. Kylock at 10 o'clock. He came next
morning, saw Mr. Kylock, and purchased 2,000,000
of military caps. After that I think he went
with Mr. Kylock to the gun and pistol.
makers—Mr. Hill's and others. In the evening
be took away 40 revolvers and 230,000
smell caps. I put them up in packages of 1,000, and
directed them. They were to be delivered in George-
street, and the man who delivered them was to ask fur
Malady. They were delivered that night, and our delivery
book was taken with them, and brought back signed in
usual way. I have seen the third prisoner (Shaw), who
delivered a letter to me for Mr. Kylock at his office. I
believe the letter was from Mr. Winslow about sending
some pistols. Upon receipt of that letter some pistols
sere done up and sent to Winslow's. I remember some tin
gun cases being returned to us. They were what bad eon.
tuned
rifles, and had been returned empty. When the ,
I.4es were in them, they were lying at the station to
our order. I think there were 15 cases. I think it was
Malady who came with two other men to bring the cases
back. He produced pistols and cape at other times.
Cress-examined by Mr. Torr- I had not been to the
Mafiosi during the time the rifles lay there.

goods received in December, 1805. They were sent to
Liverpool. They were marked NR in a diamond, and

directed.

than It was yesterday ; haze is, however, prevalent In several

By Mr. Tore-Did not speak from memory, but from
reference to papers.
By Mr. Lewis—Did not remember seeing Daley at
Birmingham.
By Sir Thomas Henry—Did not recollect seeing either
of the prisoners at Birmingham.
Mr. Kylock was recalled, and identified the handwriting
of the prisoner Burke in the consignments prodaced
by the last witness and other railway servants.
With reganl to two of them he said he had a slight
doubt, though he believed those also to be in Burke's band-
writing. He had very little doubt. I recognise the third
prisoner (Shaw) as the man Malady who was with Burke.
can't remember positively having seen him more than
once.

At the interview on Thursday with the Clerk enwell
deputation Mr. Disraeli expressed his opinion that if a
complete statement, on the responsibility of the relief
committee, were made of all the legitimate claims on their
consideration, national sympathy alone would be found
adequ►te to satisfy them ; but if not, it might then be ad-
visable to bold a public meeting on the subject out of
ClerkenwalL The Chancellor of the Exchequer, as bis
secretary explains, gave no prospect of any further assist-
ance from the government, which was afforded in the first
instance because it was deemed desirable, under the pecu-
liar circumstances, that instantaneous relief should be
secured to the sufferers

The Army and Nary Gazette states that recruit-
ing is se good as to ensure a supply of young men to fill
the rake in no way inferior to any recent levies. " Our
regiments, generally, are in good condition, and the candi-
dates for commissions are more numerous than ever, not-
withstanding the horrors of the direct' and other
' exams,' and the complaints of under payment of officers,
soon, we hope, to be in some degree attended to."

Mr.
Gifford proposed that as Mr. Torr bad not heard
the former evidence of Mr. Kylock it should be reed over,
as indeed it ought to be as against Malady.
Mr. Humphreys, the second clerk, accordingly read
over the derv,..ition.
!I:pan this passage being read over, in which the wittier
said be thought Casey was the man he had known as
Malady or Mullidy, Burke cast a meaning look at the pri-
soner Shaw, who, however, was watching the face of the
witness and did not catch the glance.)
In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said he no loer
thought Hui* Casey was Malady. Still thought he bad
seen Casey at Winslow's office, but would not swear
positively.
After further evidence the prisoners were remanded for
week, Sir Thomas Henry refusing to take bail.

On Christmaa Day in Paris the Pope's Nuncio,
Cardinal Chigi, officiated at the Legitimist St.
Thomas d'Aquin Church, the Archbishop of Paris at Notre
Dame, the Bishop of Arras at the Tuileries' Chapel, where
the patriarch Auber conducted the singing. The Em-
peror, with hie family and court, attended mass, to which
few besides the Prince and Primes. de Metternich had
been invited. Later in the day, the Emperor and Empress
walked out of the Tuileries Gardens and up the Champs
Elysees, along the thronged promenade, while their son,
accompanied only by hie tutor, General Froissart, took a
drive in an open chaise upon the Boulevards.

A tradesman of Konigsberg has just sent a case
of his aromatic cheese to the Second Prussian Chamber, ;
with a petition that the House will subject his cheese to
an examination, and then declare its opinion whether his
cheese is not able to compete with all other cheeses in the
world. The absurdity of the thing is that the forms of
the House require that a member should be appointed to
report on this ae on every other petition. There is probably
not a newspaper in Germany in which those cheeses will
not be mentioned, and the advertisement will thus be a
gratuitous one.

of the Exchequer met with an accident, at Hawarden
Cattle, on Monday evening last. The bon. gentleman was
standing by a tree which was being cut down, when a piece

DEATH OF MRS. E. Y ARNoLD.—We regret to re-
cord the death of Mrs. Emma Yernold, the once popular
actress of the Haymarket and other theatres, who expired
on Thursday night. after a long and painful ilium. For
more than thirty years Mrs. Yarnold has been a member
of the principal metropolitan theatres, and was the widow
of Mr. Edwin Yarnold, who died December 29,1848. The
deceased has unfortunately left a family quite nnprovided
for, and the kindly assistance of those who remembered
her in prosperous circumstances would be thankfully re-
osived.—Era.

morning with a flat appearance, owing partly to
the announcement that the Fenians hare attacked
and plundered a marten° tower in Ireland.
Consols were dealt in at a further slight reduction,
and lower quotations were current for several other
stocks. At the present moment the tendency is
rather better, and the English funds have reco-
vered to the last prices of yesterday. Railway
stocks are also timer than at the commencement
of business. Caledonian is in good demand.

The preparations yesterday for Monday's settle-
ment in the railway market showed again a scanty
supply of stock, but, with the exception of Caledo-
nian and Lancashire and Yorkshire, which were
scarce, the pressure for stock was lees than on the

chases lately made having considerably diminished
the outstanding speculation for the fall, and having
also brought the "account" generally within very
moderate limits. The following shows the terms
on which the carrying over was generally conducted
