MANCHESTER-Jurm 5.

English wheat in short supply, and sales took place very
slowly at the prices of last Tuesday. A fair inquiry for
foreign, without any further concession in price. Oats and
oatmeal were rather easier. No material change in either
beans or Indian coon.

THE STREET TRAFFIC.

Deputy LOTT brought up a report from the Police
Committee, of which he is chairman, embodying
suggestions for a bill to confer additional powers on
the magistrates to regulate the street traffic within
the city of London, for which application is about
to be made to Parliament. He explained that the
proposed measure was the result of a conference
between the Police Committee and the General
Purposes Committee of the Court of Aldermen, and
of interviews with Sir G. Grey, the Home Secretary.
He stated incidentally, as a proof of the necessity
for some fresh legislative enactment on the subject,
that on the 25th of March last, between half-past
12 o'clock and half-past lin the day, 291 omnibuses
passed along Cheapside, and only two along Cannon •
street. He also alluded to the serious extent to
which the traffic in the great thoroughfares was
impeded by the practice among the drivers of mon-
ster vans stopping there to deliver parcels in the
little adjacent streets. The proposed measure, he
believed, was calculated greatly to conduce to the
safety, comfort, and convenience of the citizens, and
he moved the adoption of the report.
Alderman LAWRENCE reminded the Court that
this important question had two sides, and he urged
them to take care while regulating the traffic that
they did not throw obstacles in the way of the
citizens carrying on their various trades.
The report, in favour of which Mr. R, N. Philipps
spoke, was received and ordered to be printed.

as might be for the displeased peer, yet most readers
will think that he laboured under two disadvan-
tages—one, ignorance of the law of the case, for
had he known this he would hardly have refused
the application of Mr. JONES for an introduction at
court, to a seat on the bench, and to rank in the militia.
The other disadvantage of temper, probably, was
the cause of the ignorance, for had he not grudged
the extension of the name of HERBERT he would
doubtless have asked his solicitor's advice, who
would have told him at once that he had
better not begin a contest over the busi-
ness. Well,—out of even Lords' mistakes good
may arise. 'Tis something to know that we may
call ourselves what we please, and that our act is as
potent we had supposed Royal letters patent, alone,
to have been. We should not be surprised if we had
quite a rush, after this, from the lists of SMITHS
and BROITN s, and from the not unfrequently almost
intolerable names which some, through no fault
of their own, inherit, to the region of euphonious
sounds, and not unpleasant meanings, and even into
that of aristocratic descent. Lord LLANOTER may
have unwittingly inaugurated a measure of Nomi-
nal Reform.

THE AMERICAN CRISIS.

FRANCE.

The Petrie of this evening says :
",The report that Corbeba and Vera Cruz have
risen in insurrection is unfounded. Despatches of
the 14th ult. state that the inhabitants of Mexico
are becoming every day more favourable to the
intervention of France. The forfeiture of political
power by Juarez has been everywhere proclaimed."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--A few words on the American crisis may not be
amiss, and perhaps with all his sagacity John Bull may
overlook the present opinions on the Continent with refer-
ence to the policy of Great Britainrespecting the almost end-
less struggle in the United States.

Hitherto there has ever existed a certain sympathy be-
tween England and America, but (to use a metaphor) when
two great boys are engaged in a long and equally contested
fight, it becomes expedient for some bigger boy to interfere ;
and this is the more generous policy, rather than to see two
great rations pull and hack each other to pieces.
Having just returned from the Continent, I could not
fail to remark that it is the opinion of a great many Prus-
sians and Germats that the policy of non-interference and
cold neutrality in all foroign dilemmas, may lead to dan-
gerous consequences in dangerous times, and some author
with truth observes—
" The world forgetting is the world forgot."

It is the usual remark that war stops trade and wastes
money, and that if France and England were only united
on the part of the South, war would soon be terminated,
and our American brother Jonathan would in reality be
indebted to his maternal and fraternal relation John Bull,
—and no one with one grain of sense can overlook the be-
nefits of an amicable relationship with the United (or rather
disunited) States of America, should political clouds at any
future period darken the political horizon of Europe, when
it becomes expedient to look at our future possibilities or
probabilities from more than one point of view.—Yours
obediently, AN OBSERVER.

YORKSHIRE V. KENT.

A grand match between the respective elevens of the
counties of York and Kent, was commenced on the fine
ground at Brammall-lane, Sheffield, on Monday, and was
continued on Tuesday and yesterday, when it was brought
to a conclusion. The Kent eleven went in first, but the
bowling of Slinn and Hodgson, and the generally good
fielding of Yorkshire, were too formidable for them, and
they were got out for a total of 60. Yorkshire then went
to the wickets, against the bowling of Willsher and Ben-
nett, a very dangerous pair, the "slows" of the latter being
very troublesome to the batsmen. George Anderson, by
some of those heavy hits for which he is famous, and Halton
by some good steady play, ran up good scores ; and the
innings closed for the total of 82. In their second in-
nings, Kent made a much better stand than at first, and
Bennett seemed especially to have mastered the bowling.
He and Willsher were at the wickets for a time which
severely tried the patience of the spectators, who, of
course, sympathised with the York men, but after a
brilliant innings, Bennett succumbed to a fine ball
from Hodgson, and Willsher followed suit almost imme-
diately. The other wickets fell rapidly, and the innings
closed for 133, of which 72 had been put on by Will-
sher and Pennett. Yorkshire then followed for second
innings, and had scored 14, with two wickets down,
when play ceased on Tuesday. Yesterday the gams
was resumed, Joe Rowbotham, of Sheffield, and John Perry
being in. The innings of the former was one of the finest
displays of cricket ever witnessed. The bowling of Will-
sher and Bennett, though really superb,was of no avail, and
in the most magnificent manner he kept his wicket until the
game was won, retiring with the great score of 59. His
score included three fives, one four, five threes, and nine
twos, the rest being made up in singles. A. liberal sub-
scription was made on the ground for him. As will be
seen by the subjoined score, Yorkshire won with two
wickets to go down.

THE MIDDLE LEVEL DELUGE.

LYNN REGIS, Thursday Night.—l have just re-
turned from making another tour of the vast lake
of salt water now stretching over Short Fen, a por-
tion of Magdalen Fen, and Blinck Fen, where the
scene is one of the most forbidding aspect. The
foundations of some of the cottages are undermined,
and they are expected to fall down. The water has
not decreased to any extent ; there is perhaps a fall
of about five or six inches whilst the tide is ebbing
out, but when the tide is flowing it rises again to
its old mark.

THE REFUSAL OF THE CRETV OF A
VESSEL TO PROCEED TO AMERICA.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.

The appeal of the crew of the Columbia came on
before the borough magistrates here to-day. On
the bench—G. Mennie, Esq. (chairman), J. Skardon,
Esq., and CE.pt. Tracey, R.N. The affair appeared
to excite considerable interest, a large number of
those interested in maritime pursuits being present.
On the case being called, about a dozen of the
crew stepped forward.
(to the seamen)—You must
Magistrate's Clerk
elect who is going to present this case to the bench.
A seaman named Robert Brown stepped forward
and said himself and shipmates had come into the
court to know whether they were bound to go to sea
in the vessel when they had every reason to believe
that it was intended she should run the blockade,
they at the same time not having shipped for any
such.

Captain Tracey—ls this a subterfuge now to g,
rid of the voyage ?

Brown—No.
Captain Tracey—Does your captain know you
are coming here ?
Brown—We have leave ; in fact we .are dis-
charged, but we 'want to be sent home to Scotland,
where we belong.

Their worships
the case unless the
decided that they could not hear
captain was present. The men
could have
a summons to enforce his appearance if
they thought proper. They said that was English
law, and refused to hear anything further at present.
The men then retired.
The Columbia lies along Millbay Pier in the Great
Western Docks. Amongst her cargo she has a large
quantity of shell, powder, guns, and other war ma-
terial. It is said that she was refused a clearance in
London for her destination, but procured one at
Hamburgh. Immediately after her leaving Ham-
burgh, the crew having discovered her real charac-
ter, the majority struck work, and left the officers
and the rest of the crew to bring her here. They
are now discharged, and inquiries are being made
by her officers for stokers and seamen who are wil-
ling to risk the venture, to fill their places.
The Columbia is very neatly moulded, and well
fitted up and found. She is brig-rigged and pierced
with eight ports, but has deck houses, and bears
altogether more the aspect of being fitted fo saprd
than fighting. It is said that a report of tierng
has been forwarded from the American consul at
Hamburg to the Federal authorities.

SUICIDE OF A FEMALE IN NEW BOND-STREET.--•
Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, a suicide of a most
distressing nature was discovered to have taken place at
the house of Miss Dwelling, milliner, 90, New Bond-street.
It appears that on the servant, Allen Bradbury, going to
the coal-cellar, to her horror ehe found lying dead on the
coals Miss Mary Dwelling, sister of her mistress, and who
had only recently come from the country on a visit. The
servant lost no time in giving an alarm, when it was dis-
covered that the deceased had put an end to her existence
by strangling herself, a piece of rope being found tightly
tied round her throat.

for early embarkation to India a number of gunners
and drivers of the Royal Artillery, amounting in
detail to 2,751 of all ranks, to be sent out in small
detachments, in vessels to be taken up specially for
the service. A detachment belonging to the depot
brigade, consisting of 200 non-commissioned officers
and gunners in command of Captain Hill, 15th
brigade, yesterday returned to headquarters,Wool-
wich. They had completed the required gunnery
instructions at Shoeburyness, and were placed on
the roster for India, and ordered to be supplied
with the necessary equipment and kit. Other de-
tachments from Woolwich and Sheerness, now at
Shoeburyness, are undergoing a similar course of
instruction.

LAW-THIS DAY.

SECON)ARIES COURT.
(Before Mr. Poter and a Common Jury.)

DEPLORABLE CATASTRIPHE IN THE BRITISH CHANNEL.
NORTON (ADMINISTRATOR) V. MERCER AND ANOTHER.
This was a writ of enluiry sent down from the Court of
Exchequer to assess the images laid at £1,500 sustained in
consequence of the deatl by drowning of William Norton,
through the negligence if defendants' servants. The facts
of this case are somewha affecting, as the action is brought
on behalf of three poor Ittle children, aged, respectively,
12, 7, and 5. The recoil sets forth that the damages are
sustained by the said ciildren by reason of the death by
drowning of the fathel, which death was caused by the
negligence of the defendaits and their servants and mariners
in swamping and sinkin; the vessel or cutter Hydra, in the
British Channel on tie 17th November, 1860, by and
through the neglect in tie navigation of a certain other ves-
sel called the Imogen, whereof the defendants were owners,
the said William Norto, who was a master mariner, and
then master of the Hyd.a, being then lawfully on board
that vessel." Defendarts, who are shipowners, have suf-
fered judgment to go )3, default, but have engaged the
services of an eminent counsel to, if possible, mitigate the
damages.

Mr: Sergeant Ballartine, for the defendants, said he
should save the jury considerable pain and trouble in this
case. The facts were that three poor children were de-
prived of their father, and he (the learned sergeant) had
agreed with his learned friend Mr. Clark to allow a sum of
£350.

Mr. Clark—How should that sum be apportioned ?
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Suppose we say £l5O for the
eldest child, and £lOO cach for the others.
The learned Secondary-1 he jury had better be sworn,
as we must record the verdict.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Gentlemen, I am happy to say
we have settled the oese.

The learned Secondary then directed the jury to assess
the damages at £350.

POLICE---THIS DAY.
London, England, 1862-06-06

of 45, Queen's-road, St. John's Wood, appeared 10
a summons charging him with neglecting to pay the
full amount of fare charged by a cab driver.
William Garner, the complainant, stated that he
was fetched from he Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood,
and took the defendant and a lady up and
drove them to the Exhibition, where defendant
only gave him 25.; as the ground driven ex-
ceeded five miles his legal fare was 2s. 6d., and he
had therefore taken out the present summons
against the gentleman for 6d. There was no time
to say anything to the defendant, as the police
would not give the complainant time to stop, but
immediately ordered him away. Such was their
practice at the Exhibition, and the poor cabman
was daily defrauded of part of his fare unless he
knew where the person he took up resided.
Mr. Arnold observed that such a proceeding on
the part of the police was very unfair. Cabmen
were summoned and convicted if they overcharged
those who rode with them, and every facility ought
to be afforded them to obtain the amount to which
they were entitled.
Mr. Owen said he had no complaint to make
against the driver's behaviour; he was exceedingly
civil. By the route he had taken outside of Hyde
Park there could be no doubt that he had exceeded
four miles, but the question in dispute was whether
he was not bound to have driven the shortest way.
Mr. Arnold said he was bound to do so.
Air. Owen said that such being the case he was
not entitled to the amount he claimed, as by the
new road through Hyde Park the distance was less
than four miles.
Mr. Arnold observed that the commissioners of
police had declined to have the distance through
the park measured because it was a private road,
and cabs were therefore not bound to go that way.
Mr. Owen observed that hundreds of cabs went
through it daily. It had been a road made for the
public to reach the Exhibition.
Mr. Arnold repeated that if the commissioners
considered it a private road and refused or declined
to have it measured, he should hold that a cabman
was not bound to go through the park; if he did go
he could not ascertain the measurement. The vari-
ous distances throughout the metropolis had been
measured under the authority of the commissioners
of police, and the words of the statute were that
such measurement was to be conclusive evidence of
the distance ; the magistrates were left to make
their decisions upon the table of fares.

owen oilberved Lb.( I.c am not go by the
shortest road by which as a principle he was bound
to charge.
Mr. Arnold said that that must be the shortest

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHOPLIFTING IN OXFORD-STREET.—Two women, named
Margaret Adams and Sarah Williams, the latter with a
child in her arms, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
being in possession of a quantity of goods, supposed to be
stolen at tradesmen's shops in Oxford-street, and not giving
a satisfactory account of the same.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough, appeared for
the prisoners, both of whom are said to bo known to the
police as professional shopshifters.
Moncroft, 165 E, said that on the previous afternoon while
in Oxford-street, he saw one of Messrs. Grant and Gask's
(the silkmercers of Oxford-street) assistant following the
prisoners, who went into the bar part of the Oxford. The
assistant said the woman was to be brought back to Messrs.
Grant's. As soon as the prisoners came out of the Oxford
they separated, and went in different directions. He went
after Adams and asked her if she knew the woman with the
child (Williams), and she said she did not. Adams had
two parcels in her possession, one of them containing two
pieces of silk handkerchiefs of four in each piece. ll°
took Adams back to Messrs. Grant's, and on the way, not-
withstanding she denied knowing Williams, she said the
parcels belonged to her.
Hiscock, 51 E, said that, in consequence of one of Messrs.
Grant's assistants having pointed out Williams as having
walked about the shop in a suspicious manner, he watched
her, and saw her go into Messrs. Grant and Gask's shop,
and then leave and join Adams at a public-house in Wells-
street. After coming out of the public.house, she went
down to the Oxford, when, on leaving, he took Williams
back towards Messrs. Grant and Gask's, and on getting to
the corner of DcrcArc.atroct she tried to escaß. At the
station he asked Adams whose parcels they were she had
in her possession, and she said they belonged r. Williams

tickets on them showing they had not been sold.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, for a week.
It is said that after a visit of the prisoners to Messrs.
Grant and Gask's on a former occasion, £4O worth of pro-
perty was missed.

ter during that time being very indifferent, and he
has been previously tried and convicted by court-
martial. The battalion having been formed into
square, under the command of Col. Lemon, C. 8.,
commandant of the division, the finding and sen-
tence of the court was read by the adjutant. The
sentence was four years' penal servitude. immedi-
ately after it was read the prisoner was handed
over to the prison authorities to undergo his punish-
ment, in addition to which he will be discharged
from the corps. At the same parade of the battalion
Col. Lemon presented a silver meda;, which, toge-

STEALING BOOKS.

William Herbert, described as an agent, was indicted for
stealing books.

The property in question was stolen from a coffee-house,
which place the prisoner had entered for the purposes of
partaking of refreshment.

The Jury found him guilty, and
The Court sentenced her to three months' imprisonment.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.
MAKING COUNTERFEIT COIN.

William Campbell, Elizabeth Barrett, Ellen Sullivan,
and Julia Regan, were indicted for having in their posses •
sion certain implements for coining. '

From the evidence of Brennan and ether police con •
stables, it appeared that the prisoners had been for a long
time suspected, and on proceeding to a house in Wentworth-
street, Whitechapel, the officers entered a room in which
the whole of the prisoners were engaged in manufacturing
counterfeit sixpences. A general struggle took place be-
tween the parties, the utmost resistance being offered. Tho
prisoners were finally overpowered and secured, when an
examination of the place was made. A number of plaisters
of Paris moulds were found which were quite hot, evidently
having just been in use ; also a lot of files with white metal
in the teeth, and also the other necessaries for the manu-
facture of base coin.

The jury found all the prisoners guilty.
The Common Sergeant sentenced Campbell, who was not
known, to eighteen months' imprisonment ; Elizabeth Bar-
rett, to five years, and Sullivan and Regan to four years'
penal servitude.

POLIO P; IN TELLIGEN C E.—Nov. 24.

GUILDHALL. Since the exposure in our
columns, a few days ago, of a fellow resident abroad,
assuming the names of Richard Brooke, F. Neville,
and a variety of other aliases, Mr. Schultz, who
originally brought the matter tinder the magis-
trate's notice, has received from clergymen and
others in various parts of the country a number of
letters showing that a most extensive and system-
atic imposition has been practised upon the public
in this country for years past, with a considerable
amount of success. In one instance, Mr. Schultz
stated, the party in question succeeded in duping a
gentleman at Torquay cf a sum of X3O; but in at-
tempting to defraud a hydropathio institution at
Bruhl, near Cologne, of a similar amount, he was
not quite so fortunate, and Mr. E. C. Hardy, who
was an inmate of the establishment at the time,
writing from Woodfield, near Flint, states that the
same party represented himself as Lieut.-Colonel
Neville Face (no such name being in the Army List),
and proposed to spend the winter with his family at
the institution, and requested the loan of £3O to pay
his expenses over, his own remittances from India
having failed him. This was a tempting bait for a
young institution ; and had not the managers en-
deavoured to effect a compromise of the above terms
by offering to forward the amount upon the arrival
of the first instalment of the colonel's family, there
would have been another added to the list of vic-
tims. In this case, as in many others, he made free
with the British consul's name, in order to lull sus-
picion, and wished that the money should be sent

mouth, who writes that he advertised for a pupil,

ALLEGED MURDER.

The inquest touching the death of Jane Lewis I
was resumed at the Star Inn, Ystradd, near Ponty-
pridd, on Friday. The deceased's bonnet was pro-
duced, and the police officer described the position
in which he found it, which clearly showed that
deceased was on the ground with her bonnet on
when the deed was committed. Police constable
Thomas, Sarah Reece, and Sarah John were exa-
mined, and their evidence corroborated the testi-
mony of the other witnesses as to the accused,
Thomas Edmunds, being intimate with the deceased.
The deputy-coroner (Mr. Thomas Williams) summed
up the evidence. He directed the particular atten-
tion of the jury to whether the injuries were self-
inflicted, and if not, was the evidence sufficiently
clear to implicate any one in particular. As regards
whether the injuries were self-inflicted or not, the
medical gentlemen examined had given a decided
opinion that the injuries were of such a character
that it was impossible they could have been inflicted
by the deceased herself. It had been pretty clearly
proved that the razor was the property of the ac-
cused, and therefore the act must have been perpe-
trated by some one having access to the house. It
they did not feel themselves justified in sending any
one for trial then they could return an open ver-
dict. The jury consulted for three-quarters of an
hour, and returned a verdict that deceased com-
mitted suicide while in a fit of temporary insanity.
The depnty-coroner remarked that he could not re-
concile the verdict with the evidence. The accused
was then removed to Cardiff Gaol, as the police
authorities have determined on bringing the case
before the magistrates.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

Last evening a meeting of the above society was
held at Burlington House, Piccadilly; Sir Roderick
I. Murchison in the chair,

The first paper, a letter by Dr. Livingstone on
the Lake Nyassa, in Africa, was read by Dr. Norton
Shaw. It stated that at Mount Zomba there were
two tribes which were exceedingly warlike and de-
structive, the Aj awes destroying the women and chil-
dren. There was a party of those people who,
elated with continued success,finding theywere before
a small number of about 20, commenced shooting their
poisoned arrows, when a resort to fire-arms was
necessary. None, however, were struck by the fire-
arms. Fortunately none of the party were hit by
the arrows. On approaching Lake Nyassa they
found elephants and hippopotami, which were very
tame, and in that locality they fell in with a num-
ber of natives who wished the English to sit in the
sun while they remained in the shade. This was not
acceded to, when they rattled their shields, and
being frightened at the production of a note-book
which they thought a pistol they sped away. Re-
ference was made to a thick atmosphere, like smoke,
which was composed of insects, which the natives
collected and made into a kind of cake, tasting like
roasted locusts, but fishy. Alluding to the cotton
districts which were most prolific, together with the
lakes and cataracts, the letter concluded with a no-
tice of the extensive slave traffic which was carried
on to the westward.

Mr. SPOTTISWOODE read the second paper by
Capt. Speke, on the East African Expedition, show.-
ing the difficulties he had encountered, and also
touching art the disgraceful traffic in the slave trade.
The third paper, by Mr. Baker, contained an ac-
count of his journeys in Abyssinia, &c., showing
that up to 12 degrees north latitude none of the maps
were correctly laid down. He bad seen elephants
buffaloes, hippopotami, giraffes, &c., and one day
he killed five elephants.

The CHAIRMAN here referred to Captain Burton,
who had ascended the Elephant Mountains, and also
to Mr. Moffatt, the brother of Mrs. Livingstone,
who recommended the use of camels for exploring.
Mr. TINNEY explained some remarks which had
been made by the Chairman respecting three ladies
who bad proceeded up the Nile. Arriving at Khar-
toum they had to wait there the four wet months
before they could make an exploration of Abyssinia,
Upper Nubia, &c- Up the Waite Nile they could
obtain no habitation. By the accounts in July last
he believed they intended to proceed to Gondecoro,
and when ho received further information it should
be forwarded to the society. He stated that the cha-
racter of the climate of the White Nile was most
salubrious. Heknewoneparty who spent theirboney-
moon hunting elephants in Abyssinia—(laughter)—
and he recommended tourists instead of going to
Switzerland to proceed to these parts.
The proceedings were then adjourned until the
Bth December next.
