Morison attended for the prisons's.
The evidence taken was very lengthy, but the facts may U.
be briefly stated. The prosecutor is a young man, and :11:
had spoken to the prisoner Clarke respecting the gs
finding of • purchaser for • horse, sad U. to con- St.
sequence, sent Smith to look at it, and who told a.
the prosecutor it was wanted for his master, • paper *)
' merehnst, at Peckham. Sornehours afterwards Smith again leg
called upon the prosecutor, and askedhim to go over to the fK
Victory public.hanse, Rotherhithe, saying his mentor was to.
there, and that the hone was also to be taken there. et
This way done , and Greenaway then presented him- et.
self, inspected the hone and tried it, and asked the en
mice, which was stated to be 141. Failing to ob-
tan • reduction of this sum, he (Greenaway) agreed to BR
give it, and asked the prosecutor to give • receipt, Smith bt.
and Clarke being present in the parlour while it el
was written out. The receipt was taken up to be Si.
examined, and folded up by Greenaway and placed et.
in his pocket, when Greenaway offered the pro- N.
scouter • sovereign as a deposit. The prosecutor re- #7.
fused to take this, and a oontention took place between el
them, during which Smith left the house and told the gt
man holding the horse he was wanted in the parlour, et.
and offered to mind the horse. The man left St.
the horse in his charge, and it was then taken
away, Smith giving the horse to a young man to as.
take to another public-house. The prosecutor detained
Greenaway until the arrival of a countable, when he was u„,
given into custody. On his way to the station he said he p
did not know who had taken the hone away, but te
afterwards said he could find it and so prevent :t:
further bother. The horse was stopped by a plain clothes
constable while being led by the young man to whom it et.
had been given by Smith, who, with Clarke, was mine- st,
fluently apprehended by Sergeant Gsge, It division.
Mr. Maude committed the whole of the prisoner' for al.
trial, refusing to admit them to ben.

Mrs. Mary Warren, of 7, Holderneuterrace, South es.

panes of glass in her window. She lodged with her for s 30-
short time, but in consequence of her conduct the man El
with whom she oohabital turned her out. He took the
tY
lodging for himself and the prisoner as man and wife. ss,
Because she kept him as a single man lodger the prisoner to
broke her windows. She also threatened her, and struck
her several times.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said she was very ea,7-1
sorry. She was in drink. She was a respectable 'errant to,
when she left her situation, but unfortunately she picked st,
up with the man and lived with him. When she took out 10
the license for their marriage and paid for it he turned 40
round upon her. She did not drink while she lived with
10100
him.
Mr. Dayman asked what had that `o do with Mn. st
Warren's windows. It was not to be endured that she EA.
should wreak her spite upon her because the man was living too
in her house. He ordered her to pay ris. Cal. the amount St.
of the damage and a fine of 10a., and in default to be st. 20
prisoned for 14 days. to

BOMBAY MAI L. —MARS HILLER , JAN. 18.—The
Tanjore arrived at 7 a.m. to-day. The mails leave for
London at 11.20 a.m. Letters, Monday morning.
Tho introductory lecture of a course on the
History of English Literature is connexion with the
Edinburgh Ladies' Eduestienal Aracciation, wee delivered
on Thursday by Professor Masson. There was a very large
attendance.
THE SCHOL ARSH I P OF ETON. —The scholarship,
the former boast of the school, has, as we have before
asserted, declined, and would manifest a more decided
declension, were it nut fur the exertions of the more am-
bitious of the collegers, who, though not in all more than
a twelfth part of the whale number, are contemptuously
defying the competition, once so formidable, of the sixth
form °madam, and thus, in some measure compensating
themselves for the unreasonable slights to which they
have so long submitted. The literary character, once so
conspicuous in the youthful contributions of Preed,
ilaotulay, Moultrie, Arthur Hallam, Nelson, Coleridge,
Gladstone, and many others, to Knight's Quarterly Ma-
eaziar, and the Etonian may be said to exist no longer.
The boys who used to " devour with avidity " (we are I
quoting an Eton tender's testimony), Scott, Byron,
Southey, and other modern poets as fast as they came oat, I
and to extend their reading to Dryden, Pope, Shaker- ttt
12
pears, the elder dramatista, and an immense quantity of
It
other English poetry, and even to plunge into the delights
of Dante and Tasso, in the original texts, seem to have
left no—or very fIIW-MIOWSOOTII in the present generation. si
Even reading the newspapers to see what is going ou in it
the outside world is now voted " slow." Other interests,
other tastes, have superseded the old ones, and whatever ;
may be said on behalf of them--a po,nt which we will a
take up present] —they are at all events antagonistic— e•
indeed, the whole tone of public opinion among the boys
at Eton is antagonistic—to study of every kind. The in.
exorable demands of the boat', cricket, the racket and ,I`,,
fives courts. football, and the lounging about the streets, ;
overpower all other claims upon their abundant leisure le
time.—Britlah Quarterly Kirin, new number.
TRAFFIC RRTURNR. —The traffic receipts of Tail ti

way. in the United Kingdom amounted, for the week so

There are fewer transactions in the Stock Ex-
change, as usual on a Saturday ; but the tone of
the markets is still favourable, in the absence of
any adverse features. Consols are unchanged,
while some of the foreign bonds and railway stocks
exhibit a further moderearimprovement. Metro-
politan has been marked as high as 118/, but has
since experienced a partial relapse. Colonial
nt debentures are in good demand for
and have again advanced in several
ewes. Banking and financial shares are steady.

The following is from the circular of Messrs.

We would not induce oar friends to anticipate mate-
rially lower prices than those we have lately touched.
Somewhere between 0,1. and 7d. we think a basis is reached
and cotton is safe. But in view o'. these conaulerations
end of tl.e many elements of disconra„-ement still existing
we would not recommend our friends to be led away by
any premature excitement. By February we may expect
the Red, Onachita, Arkansas, and Yazoo livers (which
have as yet only delivered about one-tenth of their crops)
to be in the tield, and by that time the Liverpool mar-
ket will be freely supplied by the kris shipments now un
the water. It should be noted that the southern arise of
distress come mainly from the State of Mississippi, and
the region io which, in our crop circular (10th Decem-
ber), we admitted the crop to have been so seriously in-
jured by the September rains that we made a considerable
deduction from our previous maximum figures. In the
11.11110 circular we gave a glowing account of the crop pro-
spects in the great majority of the States, and although
cotton at its present prices (subject to the cotton tax and
to the heavy expenses which have prevailed) is wireonuse-
reties, still it must not be supposed that the disastrous
momentsreties,
miming from the South-Western region referred
to apply to the majority of the cotton States.
