On Sunday night a disturbance occurred in the camp
between some men belonging to the Guards and the 95th
Regiment. The following in reference thereto appeared
in the Division Orders last night :
" A Court of Inquiry, consisting of a field officer and
two captains of the Ist Brigade, will assemble at the mess
tent of the 95th Regiment to-morrow morning, at eleven
o'clock, to inquire into and report on, for the information
of the Lieutenant-General commanding, the circumstances
connected with a disturbance which took place on Sunday
last between some men of the Guards and the 95th Regi-
ment. Officers commanding these corps will warn such
witnesses to attend as they may think necessary.
"By command,
"R. B. WOOD, Lieut.-Col., A.A.G."
All the tents upon the field will be struck at an early
hour this morning. In the event of rain falling, a suffi-
cient number will be left standing to cover the blankets.
The head quarter guard was relieved yesterday by a
detachment of the Ist Battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards.
Captain the Hon. W. Coke is in command at present.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE.-17pwards of a thou-
sand pounds' worth of plate, consisting of gold and sil-
ver services, has been stolen from T. Fish, Esq., of
Sidmouth, Devonshire. It appears that the plate was
sent down from London to Sidmouth, where Mr. Fish
resides during the summer months, to await that gen-
tleman's arrival. On Thursday the whole of it was
abstracted, the thieves having made clean off with their
booty. The most active efforts are being made to dis-

Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, in opening the case, stated
that the plaintiff and the defendant were first cousins.
The plaintiff lived in York with her mother and an
uncle, who was retired from business ; and the de-
fendant, at the time of the promise alleged in the
declaration, carried on business as a tinner and brazier,
along with his brother, Mr. Robt. Cooke, in Collier-
gate, York, but the brothers had now retired from busi-
ness and resided at Scarborough, living on their pro-
perty. The plaintiff was in the continual habit of
meeting the defendant in the intercourse of the families,
and early in 1852 an attachment sprang up between
them, which led the defendant to make proposals of
marriage to the plaintiff, which were accepted, with the
assent of the plaintiff's mother and uncle, and it was
arranged that when married they should reside at
Scarborough. Owing, it was said, to the interference
of an old servant of the two brothers, named Rachel,
who for some cause was opposed to the defendant's mar-
riage, the defendant's brother was set against it, and
ultimately, in September, 1852, the defendant broke his
engagement. This led to letters between the parties,
which the learned serjeant read, and which will appear
in the evidence. The defendant's conduct had seriously
impaired the plaintiff's health, and she had since been
subjected to attacks of delirium and great nervous de-
rangement. The facts will fully appear in the following
evidence :

Mrs. Widdowson, the mother of the plaintiff, ex-
amined—She resided with her brother. In January,
1848, she left her brother's and returned home to York.
The defendant, James Cooke, visited at her house from
time to time after he took his father's business. About
four years ago the defendant said to her, "Oh ! aunt, I
do love Eliza." Witness replied, " Oh, very well," or
something to that effect. He continued to visit at wit-
ness's house till January last year. They went to a
wedding in that month, and defendent then said to her,
"I wish Eliza was mine ;" and witness said, " You
must wait a little while," on account of some property
that had been settled. On the 9th of May, on a Sun-
day, her son and daughter, her brother, and her two
nephews, were present at her house, and on that occa-
sion the defendant said to her brother, " Uncle, I wish
to secure your consent ; are you willing that Eliza and
I should be married ?" Her brother said, "I have no
objection." Robert, defendant's brother, said, " No-
thing shall be wanting on my part to make matters com-
fortable." The day after, the defendant came up to her
and said, " Oh, aunt, I have forgotten to ask your con-
sent ;" and witnessed answered, "You have had my
consent long ago." After that she went to Scarborough
with her daughter, to make arrangements. Defendant
had taken a house at Scarborough. About the 27th of
June they returned to York. (The witness here got
much confused as to whether she had returned to
York at this time or was at Scarborough.) His lord-
ship wished to know whether she was at York or at
Scat borough after the 10th of May. Witness said, in
answer to the learned counsel's questions, " You have
got us too soon to Scarborough." (Laughter.) On the
27th of June the defendant and his brother Robert called
at her house in York, and Robert then said, he was go-
ing to take a country walk, and before he went out he
would tell her a hit of his mind. He was going to re-
engage Rachel—a discharged servant. Witness said,
"Are you master ?" He said, "Yes, I am." She
looked at the defendant, but he never spoke. She and
her (laughter determined to leave the house if Rachel
was engaged, but the defendant persuaded them not.
Defendant said "Rachel shall never enter these doors.
If you leave the house I shall come to some untimely
end." A week after Robert apologised for his conduct,
and in about three weeks they went to Scarborough,
and all was again pleasant. On the 25th of August her
daughter received the following letter :

" Colliergate, Aug. 25, 1852.
"Dear Eliza,—l got your note this morning, and feel
strprised at your saying that you told us you were going
to Mrs. Siddall's, which you did nothing of the kind, and
am sorry you have left Scarborough to conduct yourself in
the manner you are doing, and for what cause I am at a
loss to know. I wrote to my aunt last night, saying that
I intended leaving for Scarborough on Thursday, but now
I find it impossible to do so, on account of Robert's cold
being so bad. The work I have to do all myself, and have
done so since I left Scarborough. I was at chapel twice
on Sunday, fully expecting to see you there. It is impos-
sible for me to leave home in the state Robert is in. With
kind remembrances, your distressed cousin,

"JAMES."
In answer to this letter the plaintiff sent the following
to the defendant :

day, and I never went out or paid a visit after. I had a

Mr. Allan, a surgeon, of York, stated that he was
called in to attend the plaintiff, in November, last year.
He found her suffering from great nervous excitement,
delirious, and very feverish. He had continued to attend
her, more or less, up to the present time. She was still
at times delirious. Her health had received a very se-
vere shock, and it would be a long time before she was
restored. He attributed this state of her health to
mental grief and anguish. He was sent for by the
plaintiff last week professionally, and the defendant then
told him he was coming to York to take his trial, and he
was not going to deny the engagement.
Cross-examined—Defendant expressed a wish to see
the plaintiff, and said that he had been persecuted a good
deal by family differences.
A letter was then put in evidence from the plaintiff's
attorneys, stating that they were instructed to com-
mence an action against the defendant for his breach of
promise, and to lay the damages at 5001.
This was the plaintiff's case.
- - - -

Mr. Bliss, for the defendant, contended that, stripped
of the exaggerated statements of the learned serjeant
who had opened the case, and of that volume of voice
with which he contrived to speak of the most trivial cir-
cumstances, and stripped of the verbose and grand
epistle which had been read, this was as threadbare and
unimportant a case as could well be heard of. The cir-
cumstances showed that the defendant was but a work-
ing tinman, injuring his health by working with his
hands, and in but indifferent circumstances. There were
objections to such an union between first cousins, who
were sure to quarrel more like brother and sister than
man and wife, besides the physical objections of such a
relationship. Robert was evidently the one having most
authority, and he had a right to re-engage Rachel as an
old servant. Such a quarrel as the present, no doubt,
time would have healed ; but the plaintiff bad immedi-
ately gone to her attorney to commence this action.
The learned counsel commented with much humour
on one of the letters put in, of which, it appeared,
the plaintiff had taken a copy, not for another occa-
sion, but for the present. That letter was so like
his learned friend's speech, that he could almost have
sipposed him to be the author of both. (Laughter.)
Cupid was said, on one occasion, oppressed with the
receipt of billets-doux, to have sunk to sleep .in an
attorney's office. He awoke in alarm on discovering
where he was, and in haste gathered up his papers, tak-
ing away by mistake some of the lawyer's, instead of
his own. Hence it was that writs were sometimes
served by Cupid, while attorneys drew up the love let-
ters. He would not further occupy their time with so
trumpery a case. .

His lordship having summed up the evidence,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
3001.

Mr. Abbott, the master of the schools in Swan-street,
said,—About 11 o'clock that morning the prisoner
entered the girls' school-room with a very consequential
air, and said he had the authority of the Inspector of
Schools to examine the children. His manner was so
extraordinary and excited that he frightened all the
children out of the school. He then created a disturb-
ance outside, and annoyed him so much that he was
compelled to give him into custody. The prisoner had
no authority to enter the schools, neither did he know
anything about him.
Mr. Combe (to the prisoner)—Where do you live ?
Prisoner—My private residence is at 9, Woodhouse-
place, Stepney-green, but I now live among the lowest
of society for a good purpose. I visit the poor, and try
to get all the bad women off the town.

kr. Combe—l don't believe a word of it. You don't
go to a children's school for that purpose.
Prisoner—l went there to inspect the schools and ex-
amine the children.

The constable who apprehended him said that, shortly
before he entered the school he went to a gentleman's
house in Trinity-street and begged assistance, but he
was refused.

Inspector Barry here informed Mr. Combo that the
prisoner knew Horsford, of the Mendicity Society. He
said so when taken into custody.
Prisoner (vehemently)—l don't know Horsford, and
I never said so. I don't want any such acquaintance.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Combo was informed that the prisoner waited
upon Mr. A'Beckett at this court on the previous after-
noon, and solicited some money from him, at the same
time handing him the list produced. He then said
that he was a voluntary missionary, and went about to
collect money to pay for the printing of his tracts. Mr.
A'Beckett expressed his doubts as to his having been
paid money by the gentlemen whose names were on the
list, and refused to contribute anything.
Mr. Combe said, he had no doubt the prisoner was a
cadger, and that he was an impostor. It had been
clearly proved that he had created a disturbance in the
schools, which he had no right to enter, and that he had
annoyed the master ; therefore he should order him to
find bail for his future conduct.

The magistrate directed the letters and list to be sent
to the Mendicity Society for the perusal of their officers.
In default of bail the prisoner was consigned to one of
the cells at the rear of the court.

LAMBETH.—Elizabeth, Marshall, a miserable-look.
ing object, was charged before Mr. Elliott with at.
tempting self-murder by swallowing a large dose o]
laudanum.

The next race was a Prize of Twenty Sovs., for yachts

There was also a prize of ten sovereigns for six-oared
beach gigs, which was won by the Jenny Lind, of
Lowestoft ; and ten sovereigns for sailing punts, and a
prize for a duck hunt. The concluding part of the sports
was very much marred by the heavy, drenching showers
of rain, which continued, with the exception of short in-
tervals of sunshine, for nearly two hours.
The company then retired to the Royal Hotel, where
a dinner was provided. Mr. D. Waddington, M.P. (in
the absence of Mr. Peto), took the chair, supported by
Mr. G. Bidder, Mr. James Peto, Mr. G. Teed, Mr.
Arcedeckne, Captain Cox, Captain Small, Messrs. T.
and J. Lucas, Mr. 'Till, Mr. J. Hervey (secretary to
the North of Europe Steam-packet Company), Mr.
Crawshay, &c.
In the course of the evening there was a display of ,
fireworks on the esplanade, and with this closed the pro-
ceedings of the regatta..

Sarah B. Wallace said, the prisoner lived at her house
fur about four months with a man whom she always
took to be her husband. - The prisoner was a most in-
dustrious and hard-working woman, while the man was
a lazy and worthless fellow, who used to treat her with
the greatest brutality and unkindness, and she (witness)
felt perfectly satisfied that his ill-treatment had driven
the poor woman to the commission of the act.
The prisoner admitted that she had purchased and
swallowed twopenuyworth of laudanum, and said she
was perfectly sick and tired of her existence.

GREENWICH.—On Tuesday, the half-yearly meeting of
this company was held at the offices, Coleman-street,
City,—Mr. Shadbolt in the chair. The statement of
accounts to the 30th of June was read, showing that the
total receipts amounted to 22,3811. 10s. 6d., and the
expenditure, including interest, to 11,1411. 6s. 10d.,
leaving a balance of 11,2401. 3s. Bd.. The accounts were
adopted, and a resolution was passed declaring a divi-
dend of ss. 2d. per share, clear of income-tax, on the
original or unprivileged shares, payable on and after
the 15th inst. Captain N. R. B. Lellon was elected a
director, in place of Mr. A. K. Hutchinson, deceased,
and the proceedings terminated.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON DIVIDEND.—It was yester-
day decided, at a meeting of the directors of this com-
pany, that the dividend for the half-year just ended
should be 365. per cent, on the consolidated stock of the
company.

M. Ellkft remanded her to a future day for the at-
tendance of her friends.

RAILWAY DIVIDENDS.—We have been anxious to get
some insight into the dividends of the half-year just
ended. There is, however, great uncertainty in deter-
mining the concurrent expenses incurred, which have
been considerably increased by the rise in wages and
materials during the half-year. It would, therefore, be
difficult to give any reliable approximation to the divi-
dends.—B-crapaa's Journal.

MANCHESTER, July 12.—The yarn market continues
to exhibit a general firmness in prices, with a hardening
tendency in some descriptions. Spinnings suitable for
Russia are dearer, as are also doubled yarns. Buyers
operate cautiously, however, particularly those connected
with foreign markets ; and the business of the day has
not been large. The demand for home consumption is
the most active. In goods, also, the home demand is
much the best, including printers, shirtings, madapol-
lams, jacconets, and long-cloths ; and full rates are com-
manded. The extreme flatness of the Eastern trade,
especially to China, is affecting the value of 40-inch
shirtings, particularly the medium sorts, which are not
saleable at recent rates. The improvement in the me-
dium qualities of domestics is maintained ; but the best
kinds still lag behind. The makers of such cloths as
are most ready of sale and most improved in price, com-
plain very justly, however, that the advantage is taken
out of their hands by the high price they have to pay
for their materials. At present rates, considerable loss
is incurred in some extensive branches. The diminished
consumption which there certainly is at present, does
not prevent cotton from still tending upward in value.
In Liverpool it gets rather dearer, and also in the
American markets. It would seem from the purchases
of the trade that they are at present increasing their
stock on hand
Yesterday, at a most influential meeting of Manches-
ter spinners and manufacturers, a local union was deter-
mined upon. To-day, a very numerous meeting of mill-
owners, from all parts of the district, unanimously
adopted resolutions as the basis of a general association,
whose main objects seem to be to assist in forming dis-
trict unions ; to obtain from them lists of wages ; to
compare such lists ; and to communicate the results to
the local bodies. A short notice of the proceedings of
each meeting, and the resolutions adopted by the latter,
will be found elsewhere.
ROCHDALE, July 11.—There has been a dull market
to-day, and very little inquiry for goods, yet full prices
have been given for what has been sold. These last
three weeks the manufacturers have raised the wages of
the power-loom weavers and piecers ; the former 12
and the latter 10 per cent. This day (Monday), in some
of the mills where the higher wages had not been paid,
the hands turned out ; but they returned to work under
the promise that they should receive them at the end of
the present week. The wool market has been remark-
ably quiet, and the manufacturers seem determined to
wait the result of the London sales.

expect to have quiet markets.

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.—Mr. William Woods
has been elected chairman by the directors of this com-
pany, and Mr. William Dunn has been elected a direc-
tor, in place of Mr. James Losh, who has resigned in
consequence of having been appointed Judge of the
Northumberland County Court.
PERTH AND INVERNESS.—The re-survey, of this line
is now completed, and various important alterations
have been effected. The main line is shortened by seve-
ral miles, which, as well as obviating the necessity of a
branch from Forres to prevent the Morayshire traffic be-
ing carried round by Nairn, will, by this direct scheme,
bring Elgin 40 miles, Burghead 50, and Forres 60 miles
nearer Perth than by the projected cost line. Nairn
and Inverness, likewise, will be thereby brought 70
miles nearer to each other. The steeper gradients and
more heavy works are also materially lightened,
and the expense, of course, proportionally reduced.
An excellent example was set at the Kingussie meet-
ing, all the tenants present signing an agreement to
accept, so far as they are concerned, the existing an-
nual value of the land required for the works without
any allowance for severance. Due provision, of course,
was made for crossings, while other relative questions are
to be determined by arbitration. This is truly the proper
manner in which to instruct and conduct the agricultural
interest to an adequate sense of its own advantage, the
success of the negotiations reflecting the highest credit
on the legal agency employed. Suc being the satisfac-
tory state of progress, it is not surprising that provisional
contracts should now be in course of preparation, for
which we confidently expect a lively competition among
our leading contractors and capitalists.—Railway Times.
MAILS BY RAILWAY.—It appears from a return of the
payments made by the Post-office for the conveyance of
the mails by railway in the United Kingdom, that they
amounted in the aggregate during the year ended the
sth January, 1838, to 1,7441. ; sth January, 1839, to
13,007/. ; sth January, 1840, to 52,8601. ; 1841, to

329,9631.

EASP INDIA PROPRIETORS.—Mr. Bright, M.P. has
obtained a return (printed on Tuesday) of the number of
proprietors of East India stock on the 3d of June last ;
of the number entitled to vote in the choice of direc-
tors ; of the number entitled to more than one vote ;
and of the number who actually voted at the elec-
tion of the ten last elected directors. The document
also contains an account of the ballots or divisions
which have taken place in the Court of Proprietors
since April, 1834, and of the annual allotment of the
patronage, civil and military, of the Court of Directors
since the same period. It appears that on the 3d ult.
there were 1,785 proprietors of East India stock, of
whom 1,055 were men and 320 women. Of the number
1,055 men and 320 women were entitled to one vote,
235 men and 72 women entitled to two votes, 50 men
and 12 women entitled to three votes, and 34 men and 7
women entitled to four votes. It seems that, in 1844,
206 proprietors voted on the occasion of the election of
the last 10 elected directors, of whom 203 were men and
3 women. In 1845 108 voted-107 men and 1 woman.
In 1847 the number who voted were 1,594-1,256 men
and 338 women. In the same year 1,516 voted. In
1848 the number...lW 1,516 ; in 1850 1,636, and on
another occasion ifil,he same year 1,432 ; in 1851
1,563 ; in July, same year, 142 ; and on the 13th of
April last 1,612 voted-1,236 men and 376 women.
The remainder of the document has reference to the pro-
ceedings of the Court of Directors and the distribution
of their patronage, civil and military.
