BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

Fair average supplies of potatoes are on sale at these
markets. Most qualities are in steady request, and pre-
vious quotations, as a rule, are well supported. The im-
port into London last week amounted to 100 tons from
Havre, 115 Antwerp, 128 Dunkirk, and 19 baskets from
Rotterdam.

SEEDS.

The trade for fine cloverseed is very firm at advanced
rates, For inferior descriptions less activity has been
manifested, yet late rates are fully supported. The demand
for other seeds is quiet. Cottonseed cakes have advanced.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.)
IN RE STERNE.-AN OFFER OF 20s. THE POUND.

In this case the bankrupt was described as a Russian
merchant, of St. Michael's House, and Mr. Bagley stated
to-day that Mr. Sterne had effected a deed of composition
with his creditors to pay 20s. in the pound, and only re-
quired the confirmation of the Court in order that such
deed might become binding on the creditors. In the first
instance this case came before the Court under the 186th
section of the Act of 1861, and now the learned counsel
(who appeared for Mr. Sterne) applied under the 187th
section for a confirmation of the previous order of the
Court. There was no doubt that if the order were made
it would prove to be beneficial to the interests of the great
bulk of the creditors, who were satisfied that it would be
carried out as proposed.

His Honour—What is the security for the payment ?
Mr. Bagley—There is no security absolutely offered; but
I may say a few words to your Honour as to the debts.
Now the total debts are £36,231, and of this sum the credi-
tors who have signed the deed represent £32,494.
His Honour—Have the non-assenting creditors had
notice ?

Mr. Bagley—They have had all that prescribed by the
act, and this can bo proved under affidavit.

Mr. Brough—l am counsel for a creditor for £2,150 who
has signed the deed, and he raises no opposition to the
deed.

His Honour said that if he were satisfied as to the secu-
rity for tho payment of 20s. in the pound by instalments,
there would be no difficulty ; but in the absence of opposi-
tion he would grant the order as prayed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.--John
Alfred Clay, a youg man, living at No. 4, Simester-street,
Harrow-road, decorator, and George Alfred German, a
young man, described as a draper, of No. 89, Great Port-
land-street, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with throw-
ing snowballs in Kensington-gardens yesterday afternoon,
to the common danger of the passengers.
Henry Matthews, park constable, No. 24, said—Yester-
day I was called by several gentlemen who came from Ken-
sington-Gardens into Hyde-park, who said they had been
snow-balled by the prisoners and others on going into the
gardens. The defendants, with a number of others-
-500 or 600—pelted him and another keeper. We cau-
tioned the prisoners to desist, but they still con-
tinued to throw on the persons from the bridge—
ladies and gentlemen being the persons principally selected.
At last we got the assistance of some gentlemen, and on
going after the persons throwing they all made off.
Lieutenant John G. Malcolmson, of the Bombay Cavalry
and the Junior United Service Club, said—Yesterday after-
noon I was by the Round Pond, and as I came towards the
Serpentine I found a large number of men snowballing. I
tried to get out of the way, when I was set upon and
pelted by a large number of fellows. My hat was
knocked off, I was knocked down, and then surrounded
by 300 or 400 fellows and pelted with snowballs.
A stick with which I tried to defend myself was broken to
pieces by one of the crowd, and I was knocked down re-
peatedly. When I first saw the snowballing going on I
thought it was only a game, but I soon found that it was
not. Why I come here is not so much to punish` the lads,
who wore not the ringleaders, and were two of the
smallest, but because I did not notice a single park
keeper or constable present to stop it or to drive
persons away. Some of the gentlemen at last formed
together with the assistance of the park constables, and
rushed down and drove the fellows off. I saw Clay dis-
tinctly throwing. I think the constables ought to have
done something, ladies being served in the same way. I
was very badly treated and was wet through.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Were there no park constable on duty
while the affair was going on ?
Lieutenant Malcolmson—None, sir.
Mr. Tyrwhitt--We are much indebted to you, sir, for
coming forward.

Mr. Robert Wheblo, of the Reform Club, said—l was in
the Park yesterday afternoon, and consider what took place
a disgrace to a civilised country. Whilst getting away
from the snowball throwers a lad came down to me and
said, " Don't go that way, for there is a fight between the
Park constables and the roughs." Ido not think half a
dozen constables enough at such times. I have not seen so
many in the Park since the Garibaldi affair—they were like
a swarm of bees. Some steps ought to be taken to prevent
the recurrence of such a scene as that of yesterday, as, if
there are, not sufficient park constables, there ought to be
a staff of the police present. I consider I was fortunate in
escaping the treatment the first witness received.
Inspector Draper, C Division—The
police do not do duty
in Kensington-gardens.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—l should like to know what point of hon-
our or nonsense prevents them doing so.
Mr. Wheble—The park contables seemed to be paying
more attention to the ropes across the ice and to the water-
fowl.
Mr. George Shipton, 32, Great Marborough-street, said
—Yesterday afternoon I was going through Kensington-
gardens by the Round-pond, when a piece of ice—not
snow—was thrown at me and cut my face. I turned round
but could not discover who threw it ; but in the bushes
was concealed a number of persons who threw not only
snowballs but pieces of ice. I was completely smothered
with snow. I called the persons cowards, and made the
best of my way to the bridge. I saw the first witness's
hat knocked off, and when he went to use his stick for his
protection it was broken in pieces. Several ladies as well
as gentlemen were treated in a similar manner. A gentle-
man who had a child with him took it up in his arms and
ran under the bridge for protection, but there he was pelted
by a number of fellows. At last the gentleman made a
sortie and drove the fellows away. Clay was taken into
custody, and while on the way to the station, followed by
a large crowd, German threw a snowball at me, and he was
also taken into custody. Some of the persons in the mob
then cried out " Get up your sticks and stones." Some of
the constables did their duty well, as the larger number of
the mob consisted of men, but the scene was a very dis-
graceful one.
Stephen Middleton, 623 A—At five o'clock yesterday
afternoon I was on duty in Hyde-park, and seeing a large
crowd coming from Kensington-gardens, I went towards it,
and saw the prisoner Clay in custody; and on the way
German was given into my custody for throwing a snow-
ball at the last witness. _

had only just come off the ice.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Nobody would care as long as you did
not interfere with decent persons. The only thing in your
favour is that you were not the worst. When the conduct
of persons assumes such dimensions as on the present oc-
casion, it is time to deal with them, and strongly too.
Kensington-gardens there formerly only used by the Royal
Family, but they are now devoted to the public. There
are no doubt park keepers enough on ordinary occasions,
but not for such a day as yesterday, and why the police
are not admitted without it is to please the whim of one
person I cannot tell, nor why they do not go down in a
sufficient body to protect the public. What can half-a-
dozen men do with such a body as has been described,
and with whom to be a gentleman is a very high offence.
Some sharp remedy for such conduct must be adminis-
tered, and I shall fine Clay £3 or six weeks, and the
other prisoner 40 shillings or a month. It is a great
pity the other persons could not have been taken into cus-
tody also, those who were the worst—for I wouldhave sent
them all to the sessions.

Sergeant Cowdy, one of the Park constables, said—At the
time the disorderly conduct was going on the park con-
etahles were called away from duty to go and close the

Mr. Selfe inquired whether the woman was of a violent
disposition ?
The husband replied so violent that he was much afraid
of her, although he had spent a long period of his life in the
army. She would think nothing of taking his life, and had
for years embittered his existence. There was no keeping
her quiet.
Mr. Selfe—Has she ever been in prison ? _

The husband—Repeatedly. This is the ninth time ]
have been obliged to bring her here for her violent conduc

towards mo.

Dennis, the gaoler—Last time he brought her here she
was committed for throe months, and shortly afterwards,
before she had served her time, he bailed her, and she was
here again in less than a fortnight for again ill-treating him.

The husband—lt's true I bailed her out, but it was
through the clergyman at the prison, who wrote in her be-
half, and she promised to be quiet if I'd forgive her, but
she was not.

Tho wife said she wasn't bad in some respects, if she

was in others.

Mr. Selfo ordered her to find good bail.

THAMES.

A FIVE TIMES CONVICTED THlEF.—Andrew Howell, a
powerful young man, and the terror of dock constables
and river police constables, to whom he has given much
trouble, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with steal-
ing 41bs. of pepper, the property of the London Dock
Company.
The prisoner was seen in the dock where he had no
business. He was watched to the gate at the Wapping
entrance, and instead of passing out at the wicket •he got
over the crapt passing through the lock. He was pur-
sued and captured in a lug boat, and on being brought
on shore and searched 41bs. of good clean pepper was
found upon him.
Mr. Paget asked why the prisoner should have gone over
the craft when he could have passed out at the gateway,
and the reply was that it was done to evade the gate-
keeper, who would have stopped the prisoner.

A Thames police constable jaid the prisoner had been a
thief from his infancy, and had been summarily convicted
five times for stealing, on one occasion Vb. of tallow, the
second time for stealing 101 b. of coffee, a third time for
stealing 391 b. of cocoa, on the fourth for stealing 1 cwt. of
rice, and on the last occasion he was convicted by Mr.
Woolrych, at the Southwark Police-court, for being on the
river at 2 o'clock in the morning with intent to commit a
felony.
Mr. Paget asked if the pepper taken from the prisoner
could not be identified. _ _

The officer who arrested the prisoner said there was a
good deal of pepper in the London-dock, and that 41b.
could not be missed. He did not know where the coffee
was taken from in the dock.

The prisoner said, in defence, that a man gave him the
pepper.
Mr. Paget said that was likely to be true, but it did not
absolve the prisoner; no one in the dock had any right to
take anything or give any of the property away. It was,
however, more likely that the prisoner himself had stolen
the pepper. The prisoner was an incorrigible thief, who
got his living by thieving. -There were five convictions
against the prisoner, who was dangerous to society. He
would most assuredly commit the prisoner for trial if he
could, but there were some difficulties in the way. He
sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months,
and kept to hard labour, for the unlawful possession of the
pepper. He was sorry that the law did not authorise him
to inflict a heavier sentence. He had little doubt that be-
fore many weeks elapsed the prisoner would be brought to
that court for some other offence, and that his sentence in
the end would be penal servitude for life.

The Operative Coachmakers' Industrial

Exhibition.

But few persons outside the pale of the livery of the city
of London are aware of the fact that there exists a guild and
mystery of " Coach, or Coach-Harness Makers," and that,
like other civic companies, it, too, has its City Hall, its
wardens and masters, with the usual compliments of
dinners and feastings. Of course the company is not so
old as those which date back their existence to charters
granted by the early Plantagenet kings, for the simple
reason that coaches and coach harness were not known in
those early days. About two hundred years since, how-
ever, King Charles granted a charter for the company, which
after a slumber of nearly two centuries has awakened up
to the necessity of doing something consistent with its
name, and the purpose for which it was established. Last
year the Company of Painters got up a very instructive
exhibition, illustrative of the improvements which had
taken place in their trade ; the Coachmakers have now
followed the example thus set ; and on Wednesday a dis-
play of the works of the operative coachmakers will bo
open for the public inspection. The exhibition will be
held in the hall of the Coachmakers' Company, in Noble-
street, St. Martin's-le-Grand. The articles to be exhi-
bited are drawings, plans, designs, models, and superior
work of the operatives; also loans by noblemen, gentlemen,
collectors, coachmakers, and others, of works illustrative of
the art of coach building and harness making. Mr. G. W.
Hooper, the coach-builder, of the Haymarket, is the gentle-
man who has taken the most active part in the manage-
ment and arrangement of the exhibition, and by his exer-
tions, in connection with the Society of Arts, he has suc-
ceeded in bringing together a very interesting collection.
The Operative Coachmakers' Benevolent Society at one
of their annual meetings were the first to suggest that a
special opportunity should be given to that particular
branch of trade, of illustrating in theory and practice its
own ideas of design and construction; and that for this
purpose periodical exhibitions should be organised, devoted
exclusively to the productions of that particular depart-
ment of trade under the superintendence of a committee
composed of both employers and operatives. The wor-
shipful Company of Coach and Harness Makers readily
gave, as a matter of course, its support and assistance, and
lent its hall for the purpose of the exhibition. It is under
the special patronage of the Marquis of Lansdowne,who had
undertaken to preside at its inauguration. The old hall in
which the exhibition is to be held will of itself, as a relic
of former times, be an object of interest. The
nature and scope of the exhibition will be best judged
of by the objects for which prizes will be given. The
Society of Arts give prizes to the amount of £2O for work-
ing drawings for a private carriage, showing the construc-
tion of its various parts ; heraldic or ornamental chasing
in silver, brass, or copper, suitable for carriage or harness ;
and heraldic or other metal ornaments produced by electro
deposit, suitable for carriage or harness ornamentation.
Prizes are •given by the Worshipful Company of Coach
and Coach-Harness Makers and others for open and close
carriage combined ; town barouche, or under and C springs;
model of a light hospital carriage, to convey the sick poor ;
stuffed and quilted carriage cushion in blue morocco
leather ; drawing in pencil upon paper (half the full size)
of an under fore-carriage for elliptic springs, of usual or
original design ; landau pillar hinge ; specimen of panel of
carriage painting, either plain or ornamental ; finished pad
and bridle, for pair-horse harness ; the best covered car-
riage dash iron, sewed by hand ; working drawing of orna-
mental state lamp, suitable for a coach or chariot ; model
of brougham or barouche lamp ; full-size working models
of furniture for pair-horse harness ; working drawings of
bridle fronts ; working drawings of bridle rosettes, of new
design ; working drawings of carriage door-handles, of new
design ; hard and soft solder plating. Minor prizes are to
be given for working drawings for improved street cabs ;
heraldic painting ; decorative coach carving ; drawings
for an improved under fore-carriage for a brougham, com-
bining lightness and strength; ornamental carriage paint-
ing, imitation pedestal painting, sham caining; also for har-
monious combination of colours and perfection of surface ;
for the best method of detaching fallen horses quickly,
either in front or rear ; cushion, stuffed and quilted in any
material ; new mode of trimming a carriage door ; design
for a hammercloth, combining good effect and economy in
cost, and others.
The judges appointed are the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Viscount Torrington, R. C. Mansell Esq., S.E. Railway ;
Mr. Hall, of Long-acre ; Mr, Holloway, of Mount-street ;
and Mr. Rock, of Hastings.
Among the articles exhibited are models and drawings of
early state carriages, royal and civic, of the old mail coach,
now added to the curious relics of a past day ; omnibuses
in which we look in vain for any great improvement since
the days of the first Shillibeers ; railway carriages, as
constructed on the Brighton Railway ; very curious speci-
mens of old heraldic painting ; old and new patterns of
coach embroidery ; tasteful arrangements of hammereloths;
and drawings and designs for carriages of every description.
There are three very apparently practical inventions for
releasing horses, when fallen, from carriages and harness;
a mode of covering the stop of a carriage when not required
to be used, so as to keep it free from dirt and mud ; a mode
of raising and lowering landau heads. In the matter of
lamps an immense amount of ingenuity has been expended.
The wood carvings and the drawings are very numerous,
and form interesting portions of the exhibition.—Observer.

FlRES.—During last night and this morning
a number of fires occurred in the metropolis. The premises
of Mr. Marsden, a looking-glass maker, of Plough-street,
Whitechapel, were destroyed ; the workshop of Mr. Burr,
likewise a looking-glass maker, of Mintern-street, New
North-road, and the house adjoining, were also destroyed;
Mr. Phillips, a tailor, of High-street, Poplar, had his house
destroyed in a similar manner; and there were two other
fires at Bethnal-green and Shoreditch, each attended with
considerable damage.

The Birmingham Post, of Saturday, says :—" We
are glad to be able to state that there is an imme-
diate prospect of a settlement upon an apparently
permanently basis of all questions in dispute between
the masters and operatives in the building trade.
The discharge note, as our readers are aware, was
withdrawn a week since, and in the resolution with-
drawing it the masters expressed themselves willing,
to meet a deputation from the men to discuss differ-
ences and agree upon a set of rules to be binding
on both sides in the event of any further disputes.
No notice of this resolution was officially communi-
cated to the men ; they only heard of it through
the medium of the press. They held a meeting
upon the subject, however, and wisely determined
to communicate with the masters and ascertain
whether the uncontradicted information pub-
lished last Saturday was accurate. Accordingly
the operatives' secretary wrote to the masters'
secretary, asking for an interview between deputa-
tions from both bodies ; and that interview being
granted, the meeting took place on Friday. The
masters were represented by Messrs. W. B. Briggs,
Blore, E. Barnsley, C. Jones, J. Hardwick, G.
Holmes, and W. Matthews. The deputation from
the operatives consisted of Messrs. Price, Burton,
Burgess, French, Jones, Gould, Matthews, and Sayer.
The interview was of nearly two hours' duration,
and matters were discussed in a friendly spirit on
both sides. In reply to the men, the masters gave
an assurance that the discharge note had been un-
conditionally withdrawn, and stated that the reason
why the men received no notice of the fact was
that the masters were not aware of the existence
of a General Operatives Committee, which re-
presented the whole body of men on strike—they
only knew of the committees of Trades Societies,
and did not hold these to represent the whole body
of workmen. This question being disposed of, the
proposed meeting for a discussion of differences
came under consideration. After a lengthy conver-
sation, the following conclusions were arrived at :
That the masters shall meet by themselves, next
Wednesday, to agree upon such rules for the regu-
lation of the trade as they may deem suitable, and
that the men shall meet and agree upon such rules
as they may deem suitable ; that early in the fol-
lowing week an equal number of masters and men,
appointed by their respective bodies, shall meet to
discuss these rules ; that in case of dispute, each side
shall choose a referee, and that the referees so
chosen shall choose an umpire, whose decision shall
be final ; and lastly, that the rules so agreed
upon between the representatives of the masters
and the representatives of the men shall be bind-
ing upon the whole trade, both masters and opera-
tives. These points being satisfactorily agreed upon,
the deputation stated that there was no reason why
the whole of the men should not return, and that
they should advise them to do so on Monday morn-
ing. There being still a question in the minds of
the men as to the three months' notice which it was
agreed some time since should be given before any
alteration in trade rules could come into force, the
masters ,were asked whether they considered that
rule to be still in force, and, if so, whether the pre-
sent arrangement ought not to be carried out with-
out any prejudice to the men in that respect. The
masters replied that they did not consider the rule
to be in force ; and it seemed to be generally agreed
upon that all previously existing rules were now null
and void, awaiting re-modelling at the hands of the
forthcoming Conference."

Lifeboat Services.

PAR, CORNWALL, Sunday Night.

During a heavy gale of wind from S. by W. this morn-
tng (reports Mr. W. E. Geach) the Fowey lifeboat of the
National Institution put off to the assistance of a French
lugger, then lying at anchor on the lee shore of St. Austell
Bay, having a signal of distress flying. As soon as the
vessel was discerned by the Coastguard at daybreak the
lifeboat was launched, and under the command of her able
and energetic coxswain, W. Heath, having also on board Mr
Geo. Reddett, chief officer of the Polkerris Coastguard Sta-
tion, proceeded to the assistance of the vessel and crew. The
sea was running high and the wind blowing a gale. The lug-
ger hung heavily on her cables, which were expected to
part on the approach of every sea. The coxswain and
chief officer boarded and took the command, the lifeboat
hanging on to windward. Sail was immediately set, the
anchors shipped, and the vessel was brought safely into
Par Harbour. A galley from Polkerris also put off, and to
show the great danger her crew incurred in attempting to
cross the bay in such weather, as soon as they got on board
the ship their boat was instantly capsized and lost. So
rough was the sea in crossing the bay to Par that no other
than a lifeboat could have lived in such weather. The
vessel proved to be the La Maria Francois, Lo Pere Sam-
son, Arthur Jeangert, master, 67 tons, four men, from
Portsmouth to Par in ballast. _ _

NOBLE GIFTS.—The following special gifts, for the pur-
chase of the lifeboats hereinafter named, were presented
last year to the National Lifeboat Institution :—Berwick-
on-Tweed, Bridlington, Cardigan, and Carmarthen Bay,
collected in Manchester, by Messrs. R. Whitworth, J. G.
Bell, and Rev. E. Hewlett, £940 10s. 10d.; Alnmouth,
Miss Wardell, £320 ; Redcar, Messrs. John Crossley and
Sons, £3OO ; Whitby, No. 2, Dr. H. W. Watson, £lBO ;
Donna Nook, Robert How, Esq., and Miss How, £350 ;
Theddlethorpe, Mrs. B. Caslake, £350 ; Sutton, collected
in Birmingham, £250 ; Skegness, friends of the late Her-
bert Ingram, Esq., M.P., £205 58.; Dover, collected in
Wiltshire, by Capt. N. J. Reed, R.N., £435 10s. 9d. ; Poole,
a lady, £5OO ; Penzance, J. C., £250 ; Bannon Cove,
Mrs. M. A. Davis, £3OO ; Padstow, collected in
Bristol; by' Capt. R. Tregor, R.N., £570; Nowquay
(Cardigan), Ancient Order of Foresters, £255
us. 3d. ; Porthdinllaen, Lady Cotton Sheppard and
Friends, £250; Holyhead and New Brighton, Joseph
Leather, Esq., £662 15s. ; Blackpool, Mrs. and Miss Hop-
kins, £250; Piel, Commercial Travellers' Lifeboat. Fund,
£250; Girvan, Alexander Kay, Esq., £4OO ; London-
derry, J. T. Allcroft, Esq., £250 ; Tranmore, Cambridge
University Boat Club, £250; Ardmore, a Friend, £3OO ;
Valentia, a Lady, £5OB. Making a total of £8,327 lls. 10d.
As each lifeboat station requires £5O a-year, to keep it in
a state of efficiency, the institution must necessarily require
a large annual income to maintain its 140 lifeboats, which
are now stationed on various parts of the coasts of the
United Kingdom, and which save every year nearly 500
lives from shipwreck.

Extraordinary Case of Arson and Forgery at
Derby.

At the Derby Police-court on Saturday last, before the
Mayor and other magistrates, David Gray, eating-house
keeper, Sadler-gate, Derby, was brought up on remand
charged with setting fire to his premises on the Bth of
January last, for the purpose of getting the insurance
money.
Mr. Leech appeared for the prosecution, instracted by
the Notts and Derby Insurance Company and the Western
Insurance Company.

Inspector Fe;rnald several of the police force were called
to prove that the fire took place, and also narrated the sus-
picious circumstances attached to it.
Mr. Edward Cozens Smith, sub-manager of the Com-
mercial Union Fire-office, London, said prisoner effected an
insurance with their office at Lady-day, 1863, for £3OO
upon his furniture, stock, &c. ; he then lived at 8, John-
street, Upper North-street, Poplar New Town, and de-
scribed himself as a flour and hop merchant. He knew
that he was insured in the London Corporation Office at
the same time for £7O. On the 28th April, 1863, he had
a fire, and the London Corporation Company paid him £5
for his loss. At Christmas, 1863, prisoner took out a
policy in the Commercial Union Office for the sum of
£4BO on his furniture, stock, &c. He then resided at Cot-
ton-street, Limehouso. On the let Feb., 1864, a fire took
place, and prisoner sent in a claim for £155, which was
paid him.

Mr. Bower, London manager of the Leeds and Yorkshire
Insurance Office, said that on the 23d March, 1864, pri-
soner insurpd his stock and furniture with them for £350.
He then resided at No. 6, Cross-street, Blackfriars-road.
On the Bth June a fire took place, and prisoner received
£267 17s. 6d.

- _
Mr. Shakespeare, Derby agent of the Western Insurance
Company, said prisoner insured with him last midsummer
for £250, and in November last extended it to £350. After
the fire on the Bth of January last the whole of his effects
was valued at £BO.
A great deal of evidence having been
was committed for trial at the next Derbyshire assizes, bail
given the prisoner
being refused. Ho was then charge
branch
forging a cheque
for £63 Os. 4d. on the Whitechapel branch of the London
and Westminster Bank. The cheque was the order of John
Williams, and made payable to David Gray. The prisoner
attempted several times in Derby to get the cheque cashed,
but without success.
Evidence having been given of its being a forgery, the
prisoner was also committed to the same assizes on this
charge'

At the ordinary general meeting of the Ocean
Marine Insurance Company, held this day at the
London Tavern, the report, which was adopted, re-
commended the payment of the usual dividend of
ss. per share on the paid-up capital, and a bonus of
£1 per share, both free of income tax.
