TEE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1862.

LA W---THIS DAY.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
EMPLOYES TN TIM POST-OFFICE EXEMPTED FROM SERV-
ING ON Jußms.

This
morning a lady waited upon his Honour to make an
application of considerable importance to employes in the
Post-office.
Applicant—My husband was summoned to serve on a
July Mend-;y, and in consequence of his absence your
honour inflicted a fine of 40s. New, my husband is em-
ployed in the Post.office, and he is, by virtue of such em-
ployment, exempted from serving on juries.
His Honour—How long has he held his appointment?
Applicant— Seventeen years. I told the officer who left
the summons all about it.
Ills Honour--Your husband has a paper every year tell-
ing him what course to pursue. Ho ought to get his name
taken off the list.
Applicant—l am sure he will do so.
His Honour—.l must hold that your husband is exempted,
and I will remit the fine.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ALLEGED FORGERY.--HILL AND
OTHERS V. suENT.
This was an action to recover the sum of £6 16s. Sd.,
balance of an account, Mr. Beard appearing for the plain-
tiffs, and Mr. Buchanan for the defendant.
Mr. Buchanan admitted all the items in plaintiff's ac-
count, but the defendant never gave any orders, nor did
he receive the goods.
Mr. Beard—l produce printed orders bearing the signa-
tures " S. S."
Defendant—Those signatures are not mine, but I have
my suspicions, and a person has absented himself.
His Honour—You should communicate confidentially
with Messrs. Hill.
After having communicated with defendant, Mr. Beard
said it would be impossible to press the case after defen-
dant's evidence, and he would elect to be non-suited.
Costs allowed.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—ROEBERY
AT A PlirsicrAN's.—Mary Smith, address refused, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a silver inkstand,
of the value of £l6, from the study of Dr. Arthur Leered,
of 12, Old Burlington-street.
Mr. James Jewis, jun., defended the prisoner,
James Jeanes, footman to Dr. Leared, said that on the
previous afternoon, about 20 minutes past three, the pri-
soner came to the house, and inquired for Dr. Leered. Ho
told the prisoner the doctor -was not at home, but as she
wanted to see hint very particularly, he showed her into
the study. While laying the cloth for dinner in the dining
room, the prisoner came out of the study and
asked him for a newspaper. He gave her ene, and after
she had again sat down for about two minutes she
came out and asked if Dr. Leered had come in. He told
ber that he had not, and she then said that she would wait
no longer, and at the same moment an ink bottle fell from
under her shawl or cloak. Upon this she exclaimed, "Oh,
I've dropped a bottle," and walked back into the study,
and while doing so he (witness) heard the rattle of
the ink bottle against the inkstand, which she had no
doubt got under her cloak. As soon as she got into the
study he closed the door upon her and sent for the police,
and charged her with stealing the inkstand.
__ _

Dr. Leared said the inkstand was of the value of £l6.
In answer to Mr. Lewis, the first witness stated that the
prisoner did not say that she would go and put the ink
bottle back, having caught it up with her dress.
Mr. Knox asked the footman whether the inkstand was
in the usual place when he entered the room after securing
the prisoner, and received an answer in the affirmative.
Fenn, 75 C, said that prisoner told him she met a
woman in the street who told her to go to the doctor's, and
say that he was wanted at No. 12, Grosvenor-place, but
that she did not know the woman.

Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner was the constant
associate of thieves, and had been several times at the
court, but he was not aware then whether she had been
convicted.

Mr, Knox remanded the prisoner for a week.
ALLEGED STREET OUTRAGE —Archibald Thompson, a
young man, was charged with violently assaulting Mr, J.
Hills, hay salesman, of Old Wharf, Abingdon-street, while
in Oxford-street, the pre'ious evening.
Mr. Beard prosecuted.

Mr. Hills was walking along Oxford-street, the previous
night, when the prisoner went up to him and asked him the
way to a barber's. Mr. Hills made some answer, and the
prisoner then said, " I'll show you the - Garotte system,"
and put his arm round Mr. Hills' neck. Mr. Hills, being
a peaceful man, pushed the prisoner away, but he again at-
tacked Mr. Hills, who then secured him, and a constable,
Topp, 38 D, coming up, prisoner was given into custody.
In answer to Mr. Knox both Mr. Mils and the constable
said the prisoner had been drinking.

Prisoner said that he had been out all day drinking, and
that he was insulted by complainant.
Mr. Knox said he considered the prisoner's act more tn.e,
of a drunken foona. Luau the alAjaiin6 tano. Ile had been
drinking, and had got hold of a man far too powerful for
him.

Mr. Beard said that the prisoner lived at 252, Oxford-
street, and yet asked a stranger for a barber's. To say the
least the prisoner's conduct was calculated to create alarm
at the present time.

Mr. Knox said he should not send the prisoner for trial,
but he should order him to pay the highest fine, namely,
£5.

THAMES.
GAROTTING A BURGLAR.--EXTRAORDINARY
William Granger, a strong and determined-looking man,
aged 22 years, described as a labourer, and having no occu-
pation, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with bur-
glariously breaking and entering the Dock House Tavern,
in the East India-road, Bromley, and stealing therein 15
shillings, 15 sixpences, 6s 3id in coppers, a bag, 2 tabl,l-
- and a napkin, the property of Mr. John Pritchard,
an old and much respected licensed victualler, whose right
hand was much swollen and contused.

Mr. Selfo, looking at the police-sheet, told the prosecu-
tor after he was sworn that he could not compliment him
on his penmanship. He could not make out the prosecu-
tor's name or the name of his house.
The prosecutor, John Pritchard, Dock House tap—Look
here, sir, at my hand. I cannot write to-day after garott-
ing that fellow.

Mr. Selfe—Well, I am glad to hear that a burglar has
been garotted.

Mr. Pritchard—Last night I fastened up my house in the
usual manner at a quarter before twelve o'clock, and went
to bed. At half-past one o'clock this morning I was awoke
by a noise, and listened. I thought it was the cat or dog,
but when I listened again I heard the money being
taken out of the till, and was satisified that
no cat or dog could do that. I then hastened
into the bar and discovered the prisoner delibe-
rately emptying the till. I sprung upon him and seized
him by the neck and regularly garotted him. Ho was quite
insensible, and I handed him over to the police. My son,
who is a volunteer, came down stairs with his musket and
bayonet, and if there had been a half dozen of them we
should have been a match for them.
Mr. Selfe—What did you lose ?
Mr. Pritchard—Only 225. 6d. in silver which I left on
one'of the shelves for change, 6s. 9d. worth of coppers from
the till, two table cloths and a napkin. All the money and
property and money was taken from him.
Mr. Selfe —How did he enter your house.
Mr. Pritchard—He put back the catch of a back window
raised the bolt, and opened it. He knew well the ways of
my house, for he was in my service twelve months.
The Prisoner, on being asked if he would give his ad-
dress, replied that he lived in Kilburn.
Mr. Selfe—What brought you to this end of London ?

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.-
Wo are informed, on the best authority, that the marriage
of the Prince of Wales is to take place in March, not April,
as has been stated. It will, therefore, be in Lent. We
understand that the Queen regrets very much, and is de-
sirous that her people should be aware that she regrets,
that it should be so ; but we hear that there are reasons of
state which make it most undesirable that it should bo
longer delayed. The Queen will take care, however, that
part of that seam"—

MR. GLADS7ONE AND PROFESSOR
NEWMAN ON AXERICA.

The following► correspondence has been handed
to us for publication :
" 11, Carlton House Terrace, Dec. 1, 1862.
"My dear Sir,—l am sure you will receive indulgently
a comment I have to make on a statement in your recent
letter on American affairs, touching a matter not of opinion
but of fact.
" I have never to my knowledge expressed any sympathy
with the Southern cause, in any speech at Newcastle or
elsewhere, nor have I passed any eulogium on President
Davis. In dealings, whether with South or North, I have
thought it out of my province to touch in any way the com-
plicated question of praise or blame.
" Perhaps I should end here; but I cannot avoid add-
ing, that I think myself a much better friend to the
Northern Americans, if it is not presumptuous to use the
phrase, than those who have encouraged and are encou-
raging them to persevere in their hopeless and destructive
enterprise. Among these lof course assign to you the
prominent place, merited alike by your distinguished powers
and your undoubted sincerity.—Believe me, my dear sir,
faithfully yours, W. E. GLADSTONE.
"To Professor Newman."

(Reply.)
"My dear Sir,—l am honoured, and was at first embar-
rassed, by your kind communication ; embarrassed by some
uncertainty whether to answer it from a private or from a
public point of view. If the matter belonged to a crisis
already past, my obvious and simple way would be thank-
fully to acknowledge your unexpected and kind mention of
me—to regret if I had misunderstood you—and express my
satisfaction that you do not like to be thought to sympathise
with the detestable cause of the South.
"But, in the first place, I need to send your disavowal
to the Star, that your contradiction may appear in the
columns which inserted what you regard as my erroneous
statement. In the next, I painfully remember that the
crisis, which for America (I trust) is fast passing, is for
England only at its commencement. Most glad should I be
if political questions could be wholly impersonal. But even
if I lead your near friendship, instead of a slight acquaint-
ance (which through your affability has justified me in
occasional communication on a very few matters), still the
vast importance of the future relations between England
and England's greater progeny would forbid me to indulge
in the pleasure of a yielding reply. It is a terrible
fact, that that conduct of English statesmen for which
you have been represented as claiming high moral credit
is at this moment goading both North and South
into hatred against us. I see no chance of allaying the
malignant elements which the upper classes of England
have stirred up without much plain speaking, with little
care whom we offend. The seeds of an unnatural and
dreadful war have been sown. The plague is not yet
stayed. Pirate ships are yet about to issue from Liverpool.
The Government which was so active about Hale's rockets,
and would not allow arms to be sent to noble Hungary,
shows no signs of activity when succour in the most odious
form and most damaging to the fair fame of England is to
be sent to that slave power
with which the late tyranny of Naples was respectable and
endurable. You first earned honour with me by your de-
nunciations of that tyranny when no other public man
spoke. Much should I have rejoiced to see in you a strong
heart of righteousness, able to stem the tide of contemp•
tibia national jealousy.
"I read your Newcastle speech with great pain—I will
not say with surprise; for in a previous speech the papers
had represented you as reiterating, after six months,
Earl Russell's monstrously untrue epigram, that the
North is fighting for dominion, the South for independence.
This I supposed to be meant as an encouragement to the
South, and a gratuitous display of sympathy with it. Your
Newcastle speech was, I believe, universally understood as
intended to feel the way towards the recognition of the
South by England. The words in it which most impressed
me were, first, the declaration (which you were repre-
sented to have made) that you expected the liberation
of the slaves by their own masters sooner than from
the North. This was said after the emancipation of
the slaves in Columbia; after the Territories had
been legislatively secured to freedom; after Con-
gress had offered pecuniary aid to emancipation,
after the President had implored rebels to accept in due
time the terms offered ; finally, after he had announced the
day upon which the offer was to be withdrawn, and uncom-
pensated liberation enforced. The Southern papers bitterly
complain of the vast number of slaves freed by the Northern
armies. To none of these things do you allude (unless the
papers astonishingly belied you), but you are made to say,
'Jefferson Davis and the other leaders of the South have
made an army; they are soon, I understand, to have a
navy; but, gentlemen I they have made what is more than
either—they have made a nation
"I certainly understand this as applause for a great and
noble work; whether the fact affirmed be true is a sepa-
rate question. Prudence sometimes imperatively enjoins
silence on public men, when humble persons may usefully
be open-mouthed. Ido not claim that English statesmen
shall denounce all the guilt of all Governments. But when
a power, comparable only to Thugs, buccaneer, and canni-
bals, tries to thrust its hideous head among nations, and
claims the protection an privileges of international law—a
power wne.b on earth. for the
avowed motive of propagating the worst form of slavery ever
known—having no legitimate complaint, or, if it had, cer-
tainly trying no constitutional means of redress, but, plung-
ing at once into arms, and that when the arsenals had been
emptied, and the fortresses seized by the treason of office-
holders—l hold it to be an offence against law, order, and
public morality for a statesman whose words carry weight
to speak at all of such a power without declaring abhorrence
of it; or, at least, to speak in such a tone that he can for a
moment be suspected of desiring its success.
" No one will believe that it is the policy of an English
Ministry to encourage insurrection, ;Its such. They must
have some urgent reason for it. The party now fostered
by them (not, 1 thankfully add, at all to the extent which
the elite of London, would have desired, but still, as
no insurrectionists in the very best cause were ever
before fostered), this party of insurgents has no moral
claims, even if there were no North. All the world,
therefore, inevitably believed that England has been
actuated by an intense desire to see the destruction
of the Union, and that every other pretext is hypoc-
risy. We have to clear ourselves of the dreadfully
plausible imputation of having desired an opportunity of
war at the time of the outrage on the Trent. In the letter
with which you now honour me you say that you count
yourself a better friend to the North than I am, in that you
do not encourage it to a hopeless and destructive enter-
prise.' To pronounce it hopeless and destructive is to en-
courage and almost to justify the rebels. On no previous
occasion have English statesmen taken on themselves to
prejudge the ability of a friendly Government to put down
insurrection. lam in high hope that the righteous cause
will be blessed by a righteous God, since its upholders are
at length in earnest.—l have the honour to be, sincerely
yours, " FRANcis W. NEWMAN.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to• day
was sma►l. Good and fine parcels moved off steadily at full
currencies; otherwise, the trade ruled inactive on former

There was a good show of samples of foreign wheat on
the stands, and the demand for all descriptions was in a
sluggish state at about previous rates.
Floating cargoes of grain met a slow sale at late quota-
tions.

Good and fine barley ruled firm, and prices were well
supported. Inferior parcels, however, changed hands
slowly at unaltered rates.

About an average business was transacted in malt at late
rates.

With oats the market was tolerably well supplied, and
the trade ruled inactive on former terms.
Beans and peas were in fair average request at full prices
Most kinds of flour changed hands to a moderate extent,
and the quotations ruled firm.

We have to report a moderate demand for most kinds of
hops, both English and foreign. Good and fine produce is
decidedly firm in price, but inferior samples are selling at
fully the recent fall in the quotations.
