fractional portion of the smallest imaginable par-
ticle of injustice shall reach any one of them, nor
shall they be subjected to anything of an objection-
able nature. Neitber the authorities nor any one
else shall do the Jews wrong, whether to their
persons or to their property ; nor shall any trades-
man among them, or artisan, be compelled to work
against his will. The work of every one shall be
duly recompensed, for injustice here is injustice in
Heaven, "and we cannot countenance it in any
matter affecting either the Jews' rights or the
rights of others, our own dignity being itself op-
posed to such a course ; all persons in our regard
have an equal claim to justice ; and if any person
should wrong or injure one of the Jews, we will,
with the help of God, punish him.
" ' The commands hereinbefore set forth
have been given and made known before now, but
we repeat them and add force to them, in order that
they may be more clearly understood and more
strictly carried into effect, as well as serve for a
warning to such as may be evilly disposed towards
the Jews, and that the Jews shall thus enjoy for
the future more security than heretofore, while the
fear to injure them shall be greatly increased.
" This decree, blessed by God, is promulgated
on this 26th of Shaban, of the year 1280 (sth of
February, 1864).—Peace

Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
vell, author of the celebrated " Enchanted flash," and en-
ables Mr. M orton, with thi, aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (kn,wn as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by

the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'ceil of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romancc.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts on sale here, to-day, was very mode-
rate, and the condition of the stock was inferior. Prime
breeds moved off slowly, at Monday's currency—the late
figure being 5s per 81bs—whilst inferior breeds wale very
dull, at barely stationery prices. Sheep—the show of
which was by no means extensive—were a dull inquiry, at
late rates. Downs, in wool, realised as 10d to 6s—out of
the wool, 4s 101 to Sc per 81be. We have to report a dull
trade for lambs, at from Gs 81b to 7s 41b per Blbs. Calves,
though in short supply, wore heavy, and 2d per 81bs lower
than on Monday. In pigs and mulch cows very little was
doing, at barely late rates.

CALEDONIAN.

Tho report of the directors states that after pay-
ment of the dividends on the preference stock and
shares there remained £108,737, out of which they
recommended a dividend on the ordinary stock at
the rote of 61 per cent. per annum, leaving a sur-
plus of £l,BBO to be carried to the contingent fund,
which would then amount to £23,713; but from
this must be deducted £2,369 under agreements
with other companies, £3,200 for renewal of bridges,
and X 1,025 for Parliamentary expenses, leaving a
balance of 117,119. The receipts on revenue ac-
count amounted for the half year to £452,181,
against £421,170 fit the corresponding period of
the preceding year, showing an increase of £:31,011 ;
the working expenses to £183,631, or 401 per cent.,
against £168,344, or 40 per cent., showing an in-
crease of £15,187. The expenditure on capital
account during the half year amounted to £196,156.
The works on the Cleland and the Stonehonse
branches were approaching completion, and those
of the Rutherglen and Coatbridge and the Leith
branches were in progress. Those branches would
develope a largo amount of additional traffic, and
the line to Leith would also be the means of saving
a considerable sum now paid for cartage. The ex-
tension to the town of Peebles was opened for
general traffic on Feb. 1. An agreement had been
concluded for the acquisition of the Hamilton and
Strathaven Railway ; the liability of the company
was restricted to £36,500, in addition to the share
capital of 170,000; and also an agreement for the
purchase of the G lasgow general terminus. The
total liabilities were restricted to £21,1,000. The
capital account showed that the total expenditure
had been £9,947, leaving a balance of £72,897.

UNIVERSITY BOAT RAM—Some changes since
our last notice have taken place in the position of
the Cambridge crow. Mr. Selwyn has boon removed from
No. 2 oar to the stroke, Mr. liinglake !rem the stroke to

G, and Mr. Hawkins from No. 4 to No. 2. The crew
commenced rowing on Monday in a very large outrigger—
not the now boat by Mr. Matthew Taylor, expressly built
for the occasion, and in which they purpose rowing the race.
Although they cannot be said to have improved so much as
their friends could wish, yet it is confidently hoped that by
the day of the oro (the 19th inst.) this powerful crow will
have attained that perfection of style which has for so many
years characterised .the rowing of university men. Betting
is brisk at 6 and to 4on Oxford.

THAMES.

DityNx on SODEII.—AFFItAY ON TILE BLACIMAIAL
RAILWAY.— Henry Byford, a well-dressed man, was
brought before Mr, Partridge, charged with being noisy on
the Blackwell Railway, and assaulting James Dewdney, a
signalman.
It appeared from the evidence that on the arrival of the
Woolwich train at the Shadwell station of the London and
Blackwell Railway at half-past four o'clock yesterday after-
noon, the prisoner was standing in the doorway and ob•
struoted the passengers who were passing out. Re was
requested by a porter named James Floyd to pass on
dowu the platform, where ho would be out of the way.
The prisoner used tho moat disgusting language to the
officer, and threatened him. The passengers leaving
the train were put to great inconvenience, and as the
prisoner refused to desist, James Dewdney. a signalman,
took him by the arm and led him down the stairs. The
prisoner turned round on the signalman on the stairs and
struck him. Ile also seized him by the throat and tore his
collar right away. A police constable was called, and the
prisoner was given into custody. All the witnesses said the
prisoner was the worse for liquor, and two of them said he
was neither drunk nor sober. Mr. Partridge asked the
constable, 493 R., if the prisoner was drunk or sober?
Ile
replied that he was neither one or other.
Mr. Partridge could not understand such fine drawn dis-
tinctions. A man was said to be the worse for liquor, lint
not drunk, and two witnesses said that he was not drunk
and was not sober. A man must be one thing or the other.
The prisoner said he was making a little merry with some
sailors on the platform, and if he had :offmded anyone ho
was sorry for it. lie caught the signalmen Dewdney, who
was pushing him down stairs, to save himself from falling.
Mr. Robert Wilding, of No. 23, Nowgato-matket, said
ho was with the prisoner, and continued his statement up
to the period of being led away by the signalman. They
had been drinking a little wine.
Mr. Partridge said it was not proved the prisoner was
drunk. The sooner the police constable Stapleton could
give a decided answer the better. Ile fined the prisoner
_ 20s. The money was paid. •

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
SINOULAR CIIARGE OF ROBBEDX.—Mary Wright, a
married woman about 50 years of ago, was charged before
Mr. Barber, who sat for Mr. Knox,
of £2 10s. from the person of Mr.wTitolimsltiena,lcinug thtier,e sum
of
Market-street, Newport-market.
Mr. Tomlin, an elderly man, said—l have known the
prisoner for years, and her husband is a customer of mine.
As she called on me yesterday, I asked her whether she
would take a glass of anything. She said she would, and
I told her to fetch a quartern of rum, and we afterwards had
another. We then went to a publichouso and had some
more, and I left her there and went to a neighbour's. On
going home again I found the prisoner lying on a sofa.
In answer to Mr. Barker, the prosecutor said ho charged
the prisoner because there was no ono else to charge. Ile
had lain down alongside her and went to sleep, and when
he awoke ho missed his money. Ile was not quite sober.
The prisoner denied taking the money, and a constable
stated when she was searched at the station, only one
shilling and a penny piece were found upon her.

Mr. Barker discharged the prisoner.
ROBBERY AT A TAVERN.—Stephen Wright, a labourer,
was charged before Mr. Barker with stealing a quantity of
plated forks and knives and spoons from the pantry of the
Cranbourn Tavern, Cranbourn-street.
The potraan in the employ of Mr. Watson, the landlord
of the Cranbourne, having deposed to seeing the prisoner in
the pantry with the articles of the value of L 3 in his pos-
session, and Sergeant Gordon, 9 C, having proved taking
the prisoner into custody,
Mr. Barker asked the prisoner whether he would plead
before him or go for trial.
The prisoner admitted his guilt, and was committed for
three months with hard labour,

Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting.

DUDLEY; Saturday Evening.
The final meeting for the quarter of the
masters of this district took place here this evening'
but the attendance was small, and no disposition
was manifested to do business. Scarcely a tranvia'
Lion in finished iron was reported. A few contract°
for plates have been entered into since the meeting
at Birmingham, but it is generally admitted that
the quantity of iron sold during the week hasibeen
unusually small, the ironmasters themselves evincing_
no more eagerness to sell than consumers were t:
enter into engagements. Most of the principal firre,
have a moderate supply of orders, and for the nalt
month the trade will be quiet, as the export hens,.
will avoid doing business as much as possible will°
the money market remains in its present state.
The market for Staffordshire pig iron has not
.e
0
the slightest degree recovered, notwithstanding tild
immense reduction in the make to the extent named
in The Sun of Thursday. The quotations are fbt
common pigs, £3 to £3 ss. ; all mine, £3 106.11
better class, £3 15s. ; for Shropshire iron (Lille°
make), hot blast, £4 58. ; cold blast, £5. ken
The termination of the colliers' strike was sPc);
of at this meeting as a certainty; after havh‘
been out fifteen weeks the men see the 110Pelessa.
nese of protracting a struggle which was commune: r
without a cause, and has been continued node
o
circumstances which have entailed upon thehlselisee
and their families almost as much of privatient he
human nature could endure. In that respect h
consequences of the strike have been bad enougm'
but it is not unlikely that others will follov6hst
an important effect upon the trade in South °14,,
fordshire. The long continuance of the strike his
°
driven the large consumers of coal to seek a OPP?!
in distant districts. The various railway ee—ts
panies have just now completed their arrangeMen'e
for conveying coal into the district,and having onc,
satisfied themselves of the value of this traffic they
will not like to yield it. At this moment there if.
some 10,000 tons of coal coming into South Sta„,l
fordshire daily ; this may be increased to 20,01
tons without difficulty, so that the price Of fue,
will, in all probability, rule lower than it 119,.:
hitherto done, and the prospect of an advance
the colliers' wages, which might have taken rll;ce
as the iron trade improved, becomes by the strike
so much diminished. In other respects this has
li
been one of the most disastrous strikes that bits
ever occurred in South Staffordshire ; it is t° e
hoped the men will now see the folly of the enure;
they have pursued, and not again allow themsel/g
to be duped by those who, for their own purpol3es'•
foster this antagonism between employer and elj/
ployed.
In connection with the series of meetings Whit
have now closed, it satisfactory to be able to stall,
that the usual quarter-day accounts have
been
promptly paid.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna journals announce the deatb, in that
cats, of Prince Waldemar of Anhalt, aged 67,
brother of the reining Duke.

The Altona Mercury says :—Several geometrical
surveys have been made during the last few days at
Rendsburg, connected with the intended works of
the fortifications and the canal. The park of artil-
lery, composed of the cannon taken from the enemy,
and which forms the c)mmon property of the allies,
was said to have been sold to an Austrian specula-
tor, but we now learn that it was only the Austrian
portion that was sold, and that nothing has yet
been done with the Prussian part. Those guns
have no value except as old metal.

The Yelverton Appeal Case,

After the opinions in this case were delivered
in the House of Lords on the 28th July a draft of
the intended judgment was transmitted to the soli-
citors for the parties, whereby it was proposed, in
the action of declarator of marriage, to reverse the
judgment of the First Division of the Court of
Session, and to absolve the appellant, Major Yel-
verton, from the conclusions of the summons ; and
in the action of declarator of freedom, and putting
to silence, to giro judgment in favour of
Major Yelverton in terms of both conclusions of
the summons, as had been done by Lord
Ardmillan in the first judgment in the
cause ; but in both cases without expenses.
The summons of declarator of freedom and putting
to silence contained not only the leading conclusion
to have the defender rut to silence, but also a second
conclusion to have her found liable to the appellant,
Major Yelverton, in £3O of damages. It was main-
tained for Mrs. Yelverton, first before the chief
clerk of the House of Lords, and afterwards before
Sir John Shaw Lefevre, but without success, that
not only was it not the intention of the House of
Lords to award damages against the respondent, but
that it was incompetent to do so, as no judgment
for damages could be given without interven-
tion of a jury to assess them, according to
the provisions of the G:h Geo. IV., cap. 120, see, 28,
which appropriates all such questions for trial by
jury. Having failed to get the draft judgment
altered according to the respondent's contention,
the matter was referred to the Lord Chancellor ; and
on Thursday last his lordship, atter hearing Mr.
Tippetts for the appellant, and Mr. Wakeford, of
Simeon and Wakeford, for Mrs. Yelverton, ruled
that i❑ the action of declarator of freedom and put•
ting to silence judgment ought to be made in con-
formity with the first conclusion of the summons
only, thus giving effect to the view contended fe-

by the respondent, and disallowing any - --
.werd
damages. The judgment of the h-
_ now bof
ibbliOd as so settled by his' _vase has been
4,rd,thip._4s,ootetnan.

service to the public on many occasions, by calling
attention to several instances of maladministration
in nautical matters, and it was not likely
that so flagrant a case as that of the Royal
Sovereign would escape their notice. Sir JOHN
HAY remarked that Captain COLES' plan had been
only too successful to please those in office, while
Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE said with truth that the
principle of the turret had proved so satisfactory
that Government could not discard it ; but what did
they do? " They took a class of ship unfit for the
purpose, cut her down and converted her, and then
commissioned her by a most distinguished cfficer.
In three months the Royal Sovereign was a pattern
ship for the British navy, and then she w s ordered
to be paid cff." Sir J. ELPHINSTONE could not
acquit the authorities on the scare of ignorance,
for Admiral DACRES and the whole Channel
Fleet had had an opportunity of inspecting
her when Captain OSBORN visited Portland, and
no doubt, said the hon. member, the admiral blessed
his stars that the Royal Soverign was not an enemy.
But however convincing such practical evidence of
her success, it was easy to find an excuse for putting
so formidable a rival out of the way, and we appre-
hend that Lord CLARENCE PAGET will find his part
of the Parliamentary catechism not very easy. In
political matters the existing Administration did
not fare much better, and Mr. FITZGERALD was
very happy in exhibiting their deficiencies in the
three points on which they mike their boast—
Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform. The banquet
which was given in honour of Sir JAMES ELPHIN-
STONE went off brilliantly, and was a most worthy
expression of public feeling towards a very able
and useful member. We need such guardians of
the public interest, and in no quarter is their
vigilance more needed than in those mysterious
regions where work is always going on, and money
being always spent, to very little practical purpose.

WOOL.

The wool trade continues in an unsatisfactory state, both
as regards home-grown and colonial produce. In prices,
however, no incregse of depression has been apparent, but
the small amount of business doing is at fully the late de-
cline in prices. English wool, since our last report, has
changed hands to a limited extent, at prices 3d per lb below
the highest rates current during the present year. In
colonial wool, by private contract, a very moderate business
has been transacted, at last week's currency. A public
sale of home-grown wool was held on Thursday last, and
tha prices realised showed no material change from those
now ruling in the private contract market. The public sales
of colonial wool will commence at an early period next
month ; the arrivals since the close of last auctions amount
to about 60,000 gal s. The import into London last week
was-1,411 bales from Sydney, 1,200 from New Zealand,
and 301 from Smyrna.

MARK-LANE.

A very moderate business was transacted in wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. Prices, however, on
the whole, ruled firm, and they were without material
change from the previous week. Good and fine malting
barley moved off steadily, at full quotations. Most other
articles were in slow request at about stationary prices.
At New York, a heavy fall has taken place in the value
of wheat and flour; but the export has not increased. On
the continent, the corn trade generally continues quiet.
The amounts of English grain up to our market last
week were but moderate. The amounts of English grain
were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
17,415 quarters of wheat, 2,503 barley, 52 969 oats, 3,010
rye, 967 beans, 1,730 peas, 225 tares, 1,220 linseed, 302 rape .
seed, 2,470 maize, 290 sundry seeds, 30 sacks and 5,693
barrels of flour.

The arrivals of wheat fresh up to our market to-day from
Essex and Kent, both coastwise and by land carriage,
were small. The condition of the produce was on the
whole tolerably good, and several samples were of fine
quality. Although the show of samples on the stands was
limited, the trade for all qualities was in a sluggish state.
At the commencement of business factors endeavoured to
realise more money than on Monday last, but in order to
effoct sales they were eventually compelled to accept tha
day's rates, and at those prices a clearance was effected.
The market was well supplied with granaried samples of
foreign wheat, as well as in the produce ex ship. Millers,
as a rule, operated to a limited extent, and the total amount
of business transacted was very moderate, at last Monday's
currency.

In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly, yet
no change took place in prices.
There was a fair average supply of barley on the stands,
Good and fine malting parcels, however, were scarce, and
such commanded full prices, having sold somewhat readily.
Interior barley, however, was dull, at fully the late decline
in the quotations.
