COLONIAL.

TEA.—Business has been inactive, and there is no change
of importance to record in prices.
SUGAR--The market has exhibited rather more anima-
tion, and holders still demand lull rates for good and fine
qualities of West India. In the refined market an average
amount of business has been recorded, at fully previous
prices.

CorrEE.—The demand for colonial descriptions has been
steady, and owing to the smallness of tho stock on hand
full rates are readily obtained.

RICE..—A fair amount of business has been done, with-
out any material alteration to report in quotations.
TALLOW—The market has exhibited symptoms of im-
provement. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 40s 9d, and last
three months' delivery 43s 6d to 44s per cwt.

THE FAILURE IN THE METAL TRADE AT BIR-
MIN GHA3l.—Birmingham, Feb. 29.—1 n reference to
this failure mentioned in this :morning's papers,- it may
now be stated that the liabilities will, it is believed, amount
to more than £100,003. The assets are spoken of as likely
to be very large, but in transactions of such magnitude and
of a character so purely speculative as these must have been
there is no saying what the actual realization may be in a
falling metal-market. The "fall in the price of Scotch pig-
iron" is the assigned cause 01 this failure, but the transactions
mast have been on a more enormous scale than can be con-
ceived to have brought about such a result, looking at what
the decline in the price of Scotch pig-iron has been since the
Ist of January. Mr. Alfred Barker, whose failure has taken
place under these circumstances, succeeded his father in
business a few years since, with an amount of capital cer-
tainly not inadequate to the engagements into which lie
appears to have entered.

EFRESHMEN TS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—
The contract for the supply of refreshments at the
Crystal Palace, which dining the last three years has been
held by Mr. Frederick Strange, yesterday passed into the
hands of Messrs. Bertram and Roberts. Mr. Bertram was
formerly on the staff of Mr. Sawyer, of " The London," in
Fleet street, during his joint occupancy of the refreshment
department of the Crystal Palace some years since with
Mr. Strange, and he sub„equ,litly filled the post of mana-
ger for Mr, E', E, Mould:), at the International Exhibition
of 1862.
London, England, 1864-03-01

THAMES.

DRUNKENNESS AND FELONY.—John Fitzgerald, a man
of respectable exterior, aged 33 years, of No. 3, Western
Cottages, Millwall, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with stealing a chimney-glass with a mahogany
frame and gilt ornaments, valued at Hs. 6d., the property
of Mr. William Nathan, pawnbroker, jeweller, and sales-
man, of No. 9, Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
Mr. John Day, assistant to the prosecutor, stated that
yesterday evening ha saw the prisoner drag a looking-glass,
now produced, from the doorway. He looked at the pri-
soner, who quickly left the glass. A few seconds after-
wards he looked again, and the glass was gone. Ho ran
out of the shop, and saw the prisoner crossing the road
with the glass on his shoulder. He seiz,d the prisoner and
gave him into custody.
Mr. Stoddard—Was the prisoner drunk?

Witness—He was drunk, sir.
Michael Hughes, 251 K, who took the prisoner into cus-
tody, on cross-examination by the solicitor, said the prisoner
was very drunk, and stated to him that he was at work at
Mares factory, hlidwall.
Mr. Stoddard said the prisoner was a very respectable
working man, an engineer, who had been employed at the
Millwall iron work at 335. per week for eight or ten years,
and was out with his shopmates yesterday on the spree and
became intoxicated. The prisoner was unconscious of
having committed any felony, and was very sorry for what
he had done. The prisoner had never bean in custody before
and had hitherto maintained an irreproachable character.
He hoped the magistrate would, under the circumstances,
deal leniently with the prisoner.
Mr. Paget said drunkenness was no excuse for crime,
and the case must go for trial.
Mr. Stoddart hoped the magistrate would dispose of the
case summarily.
Mr. Paget--No. The case inns.; go before a jury—that
is the proper tribunal. It is quite clear the prisoner took
the Vass.
Mr. Stoddart—Yes, sir; but it was a drunken spree. no
was so very much intoxicated that he oast up his accounts
—(loud laughter)—to use a vulgar phrase.
Mr. Paget—What do yo mean ?
Mr. Stoddart—He was very sick and vomited—he had
been drinking a good deal of liquor and was ill from the
effects of it.

Mr. Paget—This is a question for a jury, not for me.
The prisoner—l was very drunk. I know nothing
about it.
Mr. Paget—You are committed to take your trial at the
sessions.

PROSPECTUS.

The attention of capitalists and the public has of late been
ranch directed to the introduction of Financial Companies
in this country, and the result of the operation of these
associations being now known has afforded a striking evi-
dence, both of their comrArcial utility and the advantages
they ffer for a judicious and profitable employment of
capital.
The formation of this Company has for some time engaged
the careful consideration of the Directors, and they are
satisfied that an ample field remains in England, abroad,
and especially in India, for conducting successfully
an
enterprise of this character; and, having secured very
valuable co-operation, and made other preliminary arrange-
ments, they have no hesitation in introducing it to the
public.
The principal objects of the Company will include—
let. The negotiation of loans, concessions for railways
and other public works, whether in England, India, the
colonies, or abroad.
2d. The advances theoney_ on the deposit of approved
securities, as well as purchase and negotiation of the
same on commission.
3d. Facilities will also be afforded to contractors of un-
doubted position, who have undertaken the construction of
railways and other importa.n works.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening,

The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
POOR-LAW STATUTES.
Mr. HIBBERT asked the President of the Poor•law
Board whether, with a view to simplify and render more
easy of reference the very numerous statutes relating; to
the relief of the poor, any effort is being made by the Poor
Law Board to procure the consolidation of such statutes.
Mr. VILLIERS said that the Poor Law Board had no
intextion of taking any steps on the direction which the
hon. member referred.
THE BARK SCIENCE.
Mr. HASSARD asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if it was true that, upon the last day ap-
pointed for the adjudication at New Orleans upon the case
of the bark Science, seized at Matamoros, viz., the 23d of
January last, no appearance was made on the part of the
captors, nor was any future day appointed for the hearing
of the case; and, in the event of these facts being true, if
her Majesty's Government would demand the immediate
elesee of said vessel ?
Mr. LAYARD said that the Government was not in
possession of any information on the subject.
MR. WHITWORTH'S GUNS.

In reply to Mr. GREGOUY,
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that Mr. Whitworth had not,
supplied guns of an adequate calibre to enable the Govern-
ment to test them effectually.
DESPATCHES ON DANISII AFFAIRS.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, whether there is not in the papers on
Danish affairs a despatch from himself to Sir A. Paget, of
date of the 30th November, 1863, to which an answer is
returned by Sir A. Paget from Copenhagen, dated the Ist
December, 1863, and how he accounts for so rapid an
answer if the transmission of the first despatch was not by
telegraph.
Mr. LAYARD said that as it was impossible to travel
from London to Copenhagen in 24 hours, the communica-
tion referred to must have been made by the medium of the
telegraph.
THE EASTER RECESS.

In reply to Mr. MILLS,
Lord ISALMERSTON said the adjournment of the
house for the Easter recess would be regulated by the state
of business. (Laughter.)
THE CRAWLEY COURT MARTIAL.
Lord lIOTHAM gave notice that on a future he would
draw the attention of the house to this subject.
RAILWAYS CONSTRUCTION BILL.
Sir J. FERGUSSON asked the President of the Board
of Trade whether ho would postpone the second reading of
the Railways Construction Bill and Railways Facilities
13111 for one week.
Mr. M. GIBSON answered in the affirmative.
CIVIL SERVICE AND MISCELLANEOUS
ESTIMATES. _ _

Mr. MARSH drew the attention of the house to the fact
that the civil and miscellaneous estimates had been for
many years increasing, and contended that they ought, with
a due regard to economy, to be reduced. He ridiculed the
idea of paying an increased amount for the support of our
convict population, when the circumstances of the country
were improved. Labour being more abundant and more
adequately remunerated, the temptations to crime were
diminished.
Mr. F. PEEL then rose, and was

further charged with assaulting Mr. Edward Lucas, of 26,
King-street, Regent-street, and Hulbert() with assaulting a
young female named Rosina Perry, living in Oxford-
terrace, Chelsea.
Morris Robinson, 163 C, said that about a quarter past
one this morning he saw Jefferson and Hulberte fighting
together in Glasshouse-street, both of them being on the
ground, and he then, as there was a great crowd round
them and a good deal of disorder, took them into custody.
After getting to the station a young woman charged Hul-
bert() with assaulting her.
Rosina Perry said that while passing Hulberte in Glass-
house-street, haying a female in her cimpany, Hulberte
made use of a disgusting expression, and on her asking him
why he did so, he struck her on the cheek, and then gave
her a severe blow on the nose, smothering her with blood.
She was insensible for a moment from the blow, and after-
wards went to the station, where she heard Hulberte had
been taken, and made the charge against him.

In answer to Hulbert°,
The young woman said that she had not given him the
slightest provocation whatever.
Mr. Edward Lucas said that while on his way home
through Glasshouse-street, he heard a female crying mur-
der and police, and this attracted his attention to the com-
plainant and the defendants, and he saw Hulberte strike
the young woman and cause her to stagger. He heard
Jefferson say to Hulberte that "it was unmanly to strike a
female like that," and then Ilulberte and Jefferson got
fighting and went down, and before Jefferson could get on
his legs again Hulberte knocked him down again. The
police then came up and took Hulbert° and Jefferson into
custody, and while they were doing so Hall walked up to
him and struck him (Mr. Lucas) in the face, and the con-
stable having seen him do it at onco took him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, M. Lucas said ho had given
Hall no provocation, without ho was of Aided at his saying
" Dont kick the man when he is down," Hall being in
Hulberto's company, and assisting him while the fighting
was going on.
A constable proved seeing Hall striko Mr. Lucas, and the
female who was in company with Perry corroborated his
statement.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was char that Jefferson was an in-
jured person, and he should at once dischar,-0 him.
Ilulberte entered into a long defence, the effec:,of it being
only to make the case clearer against him then before. He
admitted that he struck Jefferson, but not till after he was
struck by him, and wished every body to know that his
motto was "Nemo me impune lacessit."
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Hulbert° £3 for the assault on the
female and Hall, and 11 for assaulting Mr. Lucas.

DRUNKENNESS AND FELONY.—John Fitzgerald, a man
of respectable exterior, aged 33 years, of No. 3, Western
Cottages, Millwall, Poplar, was brought before Mr, Paget,
charged with stealing a chimney-glass with a mahogany
frame and gilt ornaments, valued at lls. 6d., the property
of Mr. William Natl3.3n, pawnbroker, jeweller, and sales-
man, of No. 9, Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
Mr. John Day, assistant to the prosecutor, stated that
yesterday evening he saw the prisoner drag a looking-glass,
now produced, from the doorway. He looked at the pri-
soner, who quickly left the glass. A. few seconds after-
wards he looked again, and the glass was gone. He ran
out of the shop, and saw the prisoner crossing the road
with the glass on his shoulder. Ho seized the prisoner and
gave him into custody.
Mr. Stoddard—Was the prisoner drunk?
Witness—He was drunk, sir,
Michael Hughes, 251 K, who took the prisoner into cus-
tody, on cross-examination by the solicitor, said the prisoner
was very drunk, and stated to him that he was at work at
Mares factory,
Mr. Stoddard said the prisoner was a very respectable
working man, an engineer, who had been employed at the
Alillwall iron work at 335. per week for eight or ten years,
and was out with his shopmates yesterday on the spree and
became intoxicated. The prisoner was unconscious of
having committed any felony, and was very sorry for what
he had done. The prisoner had never been in custody before
and had hitherto maintained an irreproachable character.
He hoped the magistrate would, under the circumstances,
deal leniently with the prisoner.
Mr. Paget said drunkenness was no excuse for crime,
and the case must go for trial.
Mr. Stoddart hoped the magistrate would dispose of the

case summarily.
Mr. Paget—No. The case mush go before a jury—that
is the proper tribunal. It is quite clear the prisoner took

the &ass.
Mr. Stoddart—Yes, sir ; but it was a drunken spree. He
was so very much intoxicated that he cast up his accounts
—(loud laughter)—to use a vulgar phrase.
Mr. Paget—What do yo mean ?
Mr. Stoddart—He was very sick and vomited—he had
been drinking a good deal of liquor and was ill from the
effects of it.

Mr. Paget—This is a question for a jury, not for me.
The prisoner-•I was very drunk. I know nothing
about it.
Mr. Paget—You are committed to take your trial at the
sessions.

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.—Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
greater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
poscd by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCII:I, 1864.

Mr. STANSFELD, one of the Lords of the Admi-
ralty,p lai
is accused of core r •
assassin. The frightful imty with a reputed
the lips of a Procures,. ImPutation comes from
perid• It is uttered in
a French court of law. It is reverberated, through
the whispering gallery of the press, all over
Europe. The insinuation,far worse than
any mere insinuation, the open and flagrant
sation directed against the
an
honourable
gentle accu-
m
is brought under the consideration of
the British House of Commons; As .a matter
of coarse
when so brought before the House last evening'
Mr. STANSFELD, M.P. for Halifax, One of the
junior Lord© of the Admiralty, indignantly repels
the charge, as one could alone look for its being
repelled by an English gentleman, in burning 'words
of indignation. Not satisfied with doing this,
however, Mr. STANSFELD—it is grievous to note—
in3alts that groat assambly of British gentlemen by
going out of his way last evening—to do what ?
To pronounce a studied panegyric upon Signor
MAZZINI. Now, that the reputation of Signer
MAZZINI is a sinister reputation, who shall deny ?
It is a reputation so sinister, indeed, that ho is
accused, and has been recently pronounced guilty,
of having been the instigator of GRECO, TRADUCO,
IMPERATORI, and SCAGLIONI in their late fiendish
plot to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of the
FRENCH. MAZZINI, it true, denies that he had
anything whatever to do with that diabolical pro.
ject. But—how does he deny it ? Why) at the
very time of his giving the frightful charge his
denial, by speaking of one of the four infamous con-
spiratOra (GREW) as-. "an haaiaatic patriot."

COLONIAL.

TEA..—Business has been inactive, and there is no change
of importance to record in prices.
SUGAR.--The market has exhibited rather more anima-

tion, and holders still demand full rates for good and fine
qualities of West India, In the refined market an average
amount of business has been recorded, at fully previous

prices.
CorrEE.—Tho demand for colonial descriptions has been
steady, and owing to the smallness of the stock on hand
lull rates are readily obtained. _ .

RICE..--A fair amount of business has been done, with-
out any material alteration to report in quotations.
TALLOW.—The market has exhibited symptoms of im-
provement. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 40s 9d, and last

THE FAILURE IN THE METAL TRADE AT BIR-
MINGIIAM.—Birmingham, Feb. 29.—1 n reference to
this f&ilurelmentioned in this :morning's papers,it may
now be stated that the liabilities will, it is believed, ainJunt
to more than £lOO,OOO. The assets are spoken of as likely
to be very large, but in transactions of such magnitude and
of a character so purely speculative as these must have been
there is no saying what the actual realization may be in a
falling metal-market. The "fall in the price of Scotch pig-
iron." is the assigned cause of this failure, but the transactions
must have been on a more enormous scale than can be con-
ceived to have brought about such a result, looking at what
the decline in the price of Scotch pig-iron has been since the
Ist of January. Mr. Alfred Barker, whose failure has taken
place under these chcumstances, succeeded his father in
business a few years since, with an amount of capital cer-
tainly not inadequate to the engs2;ernents into which be

ReFRESHMENTS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—
The contract for the supply of refreshments at the
Crystal Palace, which during the last three years has been
held by Mr. Frederick Strange, yesterday passed into the
hands of Messrs. Bertram and Roberts. Mr. Bertram was
formerly on the staff of Mr. Sawyer, of "The London," in
Fleet-street, during his joint occupancy of the refreshment
department of the Crystal Palace some years since with
Mr. Strange, and ho subsequently filled the post of mana-
ger for Mr. F, E. Morri6h, at the International Exhibition
of 1862,

KENT COAST.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the Vic-
toria
station, Pimlico. Mr. C. 3. Hilton presided.
The report stated that the line between Home Bay and
Ramsgate was opened on the 2d of October last, and in
consequence of the delay, the traffic was being worked at
cost price, but the agreement with the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company would come into operation on the Ist
March. The directors anticipated a very large traffic daring
the ensuing season, OSpeCiallY when the extensions of the
London, Chatham, and Dover to Blackfriars and Earl-street
were opened.
The CHAIRILAN moved the adoption of the report, and
said the delay in opening the line to Margate had arisen to
consequence of some requirements of the Board of Trade
not having been carried ant. The delay would be a loss to
the company, but he did not think the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company were to blame, as they had calculated
upon having a large return traffic from Margate in the
month of September. The directors had applied for power
to raise £llO,OOO of additional capital.
Sir C. HONEY seconded the motion, which was adopted,
and the retiring directors and auditor were re-elected.
The meeting was made special, when the directors were
authorised to convert the B shares (30,260) into 6 per cent.

stock.
Thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
STREET OUTRAGE ON A FEMALE.—William Jefferson,
cabinetmaker, of 41, Bloomsbury, and George llulberte,
and Alfred hall, printers, of 6, Golden-place, Golden-
square, were charged before Mr. T}rwhitt with disorderly
conduct in Glasshouse-street, Regent-street; Hall was
further charged with assaulting Mr. Edward Lucas, of 26,
King-street, Regent-street, and Hulberte with assaulting a
young female named Rosina Perry, living in Oxford-
terrace, Chelsea.
Morris Robinson, 163 C, said that about a quarter past
one this morning he saw Jefferson and Hulberte fighting
together in Glasshouse•street, both of them being on the
ground, and he then, as there was a great crowd round
them and a good deal of disorder, took them into custody.
After getting to the station a young woman charged Hul-
bert() with assaulting her.
Rosins Perry said that while passing Hulberte in Glass-
house-street, having a female in her company, Hulbert°
made use of a disgusting expression, and on her asking him
why he did so, he struck her on the cheek, and then gave
her a severe blow on the nose, smothering her with blood.
She was insensible for a moment from the blow, and after-
wards went to the station, where she heard Hulberte had
been taken, and made the charge against him.

In answer to Hulberte,
The young woman said that she had not given him the
slightest provocation whatever.
Mr. Edward Lucas said that while on his way home
through Glasshouse-street, he heard a female crying mur-
der and police, and this attracted his attention to the com-
plainant and the defendants, and he saw Hulberte strike
the young woman and cause her to stagger. He heard
Jefferson say to Hulberte that " it was unmanly to strike a
female like that," and then Hulberte and Jefferson got
fighting and went down, and before Jefferson could get on
his legs again Hulberte knocked him down again. The
police then came up and took Hulberte and Jefferson into
custody, and while they were doing so Hall walked up to
him and struck him (Mr, Lucas) in the face, and the con-
stable having seen him do it at once toek him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Lucas said he had given
Hall no provocation, without ho was offended at his saying
" Dont kick the roan when he is down," Hall being in
Hulberte's company, and assisting him while the fighting
was going on.
A constable proved seeing Hall strike Mr. Lucas, and the
female who was in company with Perry corroborated his
statement.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was clear that Jefferson was an in-
jured person, and he should at once discharge him.
Hulberte entered into a long defence, the effect of it being
only to make the case clearer against him than before. He
admitted that he struck Jefferson, but not till after he was
struck by him, and wished everybody to know that his
motto was "Nemo me impune lacessit."
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Hulberte £3 for the assault on the
female and Hall. and £1 for assaulting Mr. Lucas.
