AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

It may possibly become a question at no distant
period what may be the title borne by the Prince
of Wales's eldest son, and curiously enough there
are not many precedents to serve as a guide. A
correspondent writes :—" The eldest sons of peers
bear by courtesy the second title of their fathers,
but there is no precedent for the eldest son of
the Prince of Wales being designated either Duke
of Cornwall or EArl of Chester, probably from
the peculiar feudal nature of those peerages. Pre-
vious to the accession of the House of Hanover, only
one Prince of Wales, the Black Prince Edward, had
a son born during his own father's lifetime. On the
death of that prince the Commons requested that
his only surviving son, who was then in his tenth
year, might be received with the honour due to the
presumptive heir to the Crown. This request was
granted, and the Commons preferred another peti•
tion that he might be declared Prince of Wales, but
the Lords object that " the grant of such honours
belonged not to the prelates ur barons, either in or
out of Parliament,but exclusively to the Sovereign
and the Royal youth remained plain Lord Richard
of Bordeaux until he ascended the throne as King
Richard 11. On the accession of King George 1.,
his eldest son, afterwards George 11., was created
Prince of -Wales, and three years afterwards his
eldest son Prince Frederick Lewis, was created Duke
of Gloucester, and, in 1726, among
other inferior
titles, Duke of Edinburgh. Oa the accession of
George IL, Prince Frederick was created Prince of
Wales, and his eldest son, afterwards King George
111., bore the title of the Duke of Edinburgh till
created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester on his
father's death in 1750. This would seem a prece.
dent for the eldest son of the present Prince of
Wales being designated Earl of Dublin, Which the
Prince himself was created by patent in 1849. In
the peerage of Scotland the eldest son of the King
is al ways Duke of Rothsay and Earl of Carrick,
but there is no precedent for the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales being known by either of those
titles"—Guardian.

varian hops has also been offered. Last year's, as well as

POLICE IN'

IE--This Day.

BOW-STREET.

A ROW INT THE MARKET.--John O'Connor, Bridget
O'Connor, his wife, and Edward Macnamara, her father,
were charged with creating a disturbance in Covent-gar-
den Market, and assaulting the police.
It appeared that about 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
the prisoners, with some others, were in Covent-garden
Market drunk and annoying the passengers and tradesmen
by creating a disturbance there. The female prisoner went
up to the stall of Mrs. Deacon, a saleswoman, to buy some
onions, but, as she was very drunk, Mrs. Deacon refused
to serve her. The prisoner then spoke to one of the men,
who went up to Mrs. Deacon and tried to strike her,
but she got away from him, and ran into one of
the shops in the market, where she remained till a
policeman came up. The female prisoner was then making
a great disturbance and trying to get at Mrs. Deacon. The
constable took her into custody ; and, as he was removing
her, her husband sprang upon him from behini, seized him
by the throat, and flung him on the ground with such vio-
lence that he has since been ill and unable to do duty.
Macnamara also struck the officer, and so did the other three

men. By this time a crowd of nearly 1,000 persons had
assembled, and the disturbance became terrific, the prisoners
and their friends urging the mob to ill-treat the police.
Ultimately, by the united exertions of half a dozen con-
stables, the prisoners were removed to the station-house.
The other three got away.

These facts were proved by a number of witnesses prin
cipally tradesmen in the neighbourhood.

The prisoners insisted that they were quite sober and had
had nothing whatever to drink.

Mr. Henry fined John O'Connor £5 or two months,
Bridget O'Connor £t or 14 days, and Macnamara £1 or
three weeks.

ATTEMPTED FELONY.—Edward Welsh was placed at
the bar charged with•attempting to steal a watch.
Sergeant Thompson, of the detective force, said he was in
Holborn on Saturday night, when he saw the prisoner bo
up to a gentleman, and, pushing against him violently, he
felt in his pocket with his right hand. He did not succeed
in obtaining anything, but proceeded towards Queen-street,
where he again went through the same movement before
another gentleman, and succeeded in getting the watch out
of his waistcoat pocket, but the gentleman seized him with
the property in his hand and took it from him. He then
seized prisoner, but the gentleman refused to prosecute as
he was going out of town. Prisoner resisted capture very
much.

Police• constable 131 F corroborated the statement of the
first witness.

Ackrill, 48 F, said he knew the prisoner to be the asso-
ciate of thieves, and also that he had been in prison for
three months for a felony. He had been at work for about
a month until the last week, when he absented himself
from his employment. Ho had told him (witness) that
"he'd turned up thieving," but he still continued to asso-
ciate with the most expert and well-known thieves in the
neighbourhood.

THE FLORIDA.

The following letter from Captain Cavally, com-
mander of the ship Anglo-Saxon, to Captain A. H.
Caldwell, of Liverpool, was posted at the Liverpool
Exchange News-room on Friday, and created C3ll-
- interest :

" Brest, August 25, 1863.
Dear Sir,—l regret to inform you that my ship, the
Anglo-Saxon, was captured by the Confederate steamer
Florida, and burnt by her, the Old Head of Kinsale bearing
N.N.W. I think about 30 miles. My Channel pilot was on
board. She was captured on Friday the 21st August, at
five a.m., the Anglo-Saxon being becalmed at the time. All
my nautical instruments, books, charts, &c. were taken.
The Anglo-Saxon sailed from the Birkenhead Docks on
the 17th instant, for New York with a cargo of coals. She
was a ship of 868 tons burthen, had a crew of 24 men, and
was despatched by Duncan and Kendal, At the time of
her capture she had been eight days out at sea."
The Zkerpool Mercury gives the following letter
as having come from a person on board the Florida—
" Brest, Aug. 24, 1863, on board the C.S.S. Florida.
" Gentlemen,—We arrived here yesterday from a cruise.
Having touched at Queenstown on the 17th, and landed
Mr. Everett, first lieutenant, Mr. Garretson, surgeon, and
Mr. Hunter, midshipman, we then cruised about, and off
Tuskar Rock Light we went out Channel and outside. In
chasing four or five vessels on the 22d we succeeded in
capturing the American Federal ship Anglo-Saxon, Capt.
Cavally, from Liverpool for New York. We stripped her
of what was necessary, set fire to her, stood off 1,000 to
1,200 yards, and fired three broadsides into her, as much
for practice as for the sinking of her speedily. There were
two or three vessels in sight at the time. We brought her
crew to this port."

SINGULAR CASE UNDER THE MATRIMONIAL CAUSES
ACT.—A respectable hardworking looking woman, about
30 years of age, applied to the magistrate for a protection
order under the Matrimonial Causes Act.

Applicant said that her husband had left her two years
ago, and had done nothing since then towards her support,
which now induced her to apply to a magistrate.
Mr. Selfe—What induces you to come here now ?
Applicant—Because I am afraid my husband will come
home and take all my little things.
Mr. Selfe—Do you know where your husband is ?
Applicant—Yes, he went to Northampton, where, I be-
lieve, he still remains.

Mr. Selfe—Under what circumstances did he leave you
to go there ?

Applicant—He left me on a visit to his friends there; he
was merely to stay a fortnight or three weeks,

Mr. Selle—And never returned?

Applicant—Never returned.

Mr. Selfe—l am afraid that I cannot help you. It can-
not be called desertion if your husband did not mean it to
be so, but always had an intention to return.

Applicant —He did not intend to return. He is living a
very bad life there. He is cohabiting with another woman.
Mr. Sclfe—That alters the case.

Applicant—l am afraid that the very moment ho gets
into trouble he will come home to me again and take all I
possess. It would be two years on the 10th of next month
since he deserted mo.

Mr. Selfe—And you have since supported yourself by
by our own industry.
Applicant—Yes.
Mr. Selfe --You may have the order.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
ARE BILLIARDS A LAWFUL GAME?-CLAYTON V. GOLD-

INGS.

This was an action to recover 12s. 6d. for certain games
a billiards, plaintiff being an hotel keeper, and defendant a
commercial traveller.
His Honour—l think you are out of court, Mr. Clayton,
on your own partioular,
Plaintiff—How so ?
His Honottr—You say " Games of Billiards," and I am
not sure that it is a lawful game.
Plaintiff—We are obliged to have a license, and I believe
it has been laid down that a licensed victualler can recover
for his tables, but I have not brought the book with me.
His Honour called for the Act of Parliment 8 and 9 Vict.,
but it was not in court, and it was suggested that plaintiff
could recover for the use of the tables.
His Honour—But he calls it " Games of Billiards," and
I hold that it is an unlawful game.
Plaintiff.—The point was settled in this very court some
time ago, and then I recovered a verdict.
Mr. Buchanan—l was in that case, and the subject mat-
ter was of a very different kind; that action was for the
hire of a table by a marker.
His Honour—Yes, that is another thing altogether.
Plaintiff—But we are required to take out a license for
billiards, and it would be hard if we cannot recover.
His Honour—lt
.is a game of skill and chance, and may
be called gambling, but defendant does not appear. How
long would he have the tables before 12s. 6d. would be due ?
Plaintiff—Oh I 12s. 6d. could be run off in two hours.
His Honour—Well, as defendant is not here, you will
recover for the use of the tables, but I do not decide that
billiards is a lawful game.

Occasionally a bat is booked, and from the day's quota-

The Dreadful Wreck of the British Ship
Frankfort,

On Saturday the following particulars were re-
ceived in the City relative to the wreck of the Bri-
tish barque Frankfort, and the loss of all on board
except one, who has furnished a most thrilling
narrative of his marvellous escape. The ship left
Cardiff on the 29th day of October, with coals for
Shanghae, and was totally lost on the 19th of
February, near Kalatoa (S.E. from Salayer).
The survivor, named Silver, the boatswain, in
his declaration before the magistrates at Macassar,
states that on the evening of the 19th of February
the ship was proceeding with a stiff breeze, when
she struck on the coral reef Lacebuena, and in
a few minutes sunk. The crew consisted of
twenty-three; and, besides the cargo of coal, she
was thought to have had about £50,000 in
gold and specie on board. He cannot state posi.
tively what became of the crew, but be thinks
they must all have been drowned. He heard
a cry, "The ship is sinking," and he saw that they
were letting down the boats, but at that moment he
became insensible. When he recovered himself he
found that he was floating, and saw nothing more of
his companions. He succeeded in getting a piece
of wreck, and with two pieces of wood and his hand-
kerchief he made sail, with which he tried to reach
the land, then in sight. After floating about for
four days and five nights without food or water, on
the morning of the fifth day he found himself close
to an island. He shouted for help, and some natives
came off in a sampan. In the meantime he was put
in bodily terror by the appearance of a shark. It
came close up to him, but he struck it in the back
with his knife, when it dived, and he was got on
shore in a fainting state. He remained for a month
ill with fever, and learned that he was on the
Island of Kalatoa, and had been saved by Nissang
fishers. He was then sent on to the Island of Salayer
and forwarded to Macassar. The Frankfort be-
longed to Liverpool.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, in but middling condition. Sales pro-
gressed slowly, and, in some instances, prices had a droop-
ing tendency.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably large as to number,
but their general quality was only middling. Prime breeds
commanded a steady inquiry, at full prices. Otherwise the
beef trade was in a sluggish state, on rather easier terms,
and a clearance was not effected.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire comprised 3,000 shorthorns, &c.; from
other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland,
11 Scots; and from Ireland, 380 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was moderately extensive, but the
condition of most breeds was by no means first rate. Downs
and half-breds were in fair request, at last week's currency,
the top figure being 5s 2d per 81b, but other descriptions of
sheep were very inactive, at slightly depressed rates.
The demand for lambs was heavy, at from 5s to 6s per
Blbs. These quotations show a decline, comp ired with
this day se'nnight, of from 4d to 8d per 81bs.

Calves were in moderate supply and sluggish request, at
previous currencies.
The pork trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

THAMES.

A GERMAN Row.—Five bakers, natives of Germany,
were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being
drunk and disorderly on Saturday night at 12 o'clock in
Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel. The names of the prisoners
were given by police-sergeant Barnes, 10 H, as follows :
Heinrich Blucher, Heinrich Rosenburg, Heinrich Kruk,
Heinrich Bert, and Wilhelm Davis.

after leaving their houses of call on Saturday night at 12
o'clock, began to quarrel and fight. Upwards of 50 of
them wore swearing at each other, shouting and yelling.
They went up to the Germans, and told them to disperse,
but they retused to do so. The tumult was very great; the
tradesmen hurriedly closed their shops, and people retreated
to their homes, for sonic of the Germans were armed with
knives. They succeeded in capturing three of the prisoners
—Blucher, Rosenburg, and Kruk—and were leading them
off to the station-house when other Germans, the foremost
I of whom were Hert and Davis, made an attempt to rescue
their countrymen, and the policeman Wood was struck by
Davis. Additional aid was sent for, the rioters were dis-
persed, and the prisoners were taken to the station-Louse.
The police-constables engaged in the ease said there had
been many disorderly rows among the Germans on Satur-
day nights, but the one of last Saturday night was the
most serious of all, articipation in the riot
The prisoners all denied any p.

were bread bakers, and llert was a sugar baker.

the proclamation of the Queen by building and
manning said steamer, and then allowing her to
continue her depredations. And they ask, through
the Government of the United States, that a proper
representation may be made to them by the said
Government of Great Britain, or that the Govern-
ment of the United States may assume the same as
one of the Governmental obligations to protect the
rights of their citizens thus wantonly violated."
A letter from General Rosecrans' head-quarters
at Bridgeport, Alatatna, dated the 2d inst., says—
" The enemy hold the Tennessee river from Har-
rison to Bridgeport. Harrison is their right, Chat-
tanooga the centre—the fortified citadel—and
Bridgeport is the left. The whole line covers the
important positions of Cleveland and other points
on the railroad from Knoxsville to Atalanta. Bragg
knows that if we move on Chattanooga our line
must accommodate itself to his. If we do not he
stands ready to accommodate himself to ours. At
any rate there is no fear that we are going to com-
mit the fault of leaving him on our flank again.
The sanguine expectations of loyal men are rather
dampened by the two difficulties which one on the
spot cannot but see. One does not like to look
them squarely in the face. Yet they are so ap-
parent that they cannot be avoided. I refer, first, to
the great difficulty of provisioning the army and fill-
ing its depots—a difficulty increased by the increased
distance from our base, and the said want of rail-
road rolling stock. The zmpedinzenta of our army
are generally considered to be the large amount of
transportation, which retards advances and
obstructs retreats. Bat in the present instance the
chief impediment to an advance is the want of it.
It is an impediment which is going to rob us of
what is now of most value to us ; for it is both
safety and success. I mean time. If we had trans-
portation in plenty I think General Rosecrans
would take old Father Time by the forelock with
such vigour and energy as would astonish the
rebels out of Chattanooga in 20 days. And yet one
sees on the track here a vast number of cars. I
noticed a train a few days ago with car& in it from
nearly every road the stock of which is quoted in the
commercial columns. War is a great amalgamizer
of races and railroad cars. In a train which came
up to-day, drawn by a captured locomotive from the
Memphis and Charleston road, and now called
Governor Johnson, I saw cars from the Michigan
Southern, Mobile and Ohio, Little Miami and Co-
lumbus and Xenia, Memphis and Charleston, Cin-
cinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, Jackson and
Vicksburg, and Georgia Central roads, and a large
number marked Jerry Nottingham's freight line,
via Crestline.'"
