SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
WATSON AND ANOTIIER V. STRINGER.
This was an action for goods sold. The plaintiffs are
ribbon-manufacturers, &c., in the City, and the defendant
is a linendraper at Hull. The amount claimed was 9/.
The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de.
fault, it was therefore only necessary to prove the de-
livery of the goods as directed by the defendant. It was
proved that the principal part had been delivered to the
" boots" at the hotel where defendant lodged.
The SECONDARY said that was sufficient delivery.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

PALACE COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. CORRIE.)
SEYSELL AND ANOTHER V. HOLM.
This Was a summons under the Small Debts Act, and
the case was adjourned until this day, for the attendance
of one of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests,
named Clarke, who had been summoned under the fol-
lowing circumstances:—
On the summons being called on,
Mr. ATKINS, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said the
defendant asserted that she had paid the money to one
of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, who
hektan execution against her goods. He (Mr. Atkins)
had seen Clarke, and had no doubt that what defendant
said was correct, and that if the matter' were inquired
into, it would be found it had been a continual practice
in those Courts to receive money, and make returns to
the executions of no effects.

The Learned JUDGE asked whether the High Bailiff
was not answerable? and was told that the officers acted
also as agents.
The defendant said the officer told her she could not
prove the payment to him.
The Learned JUDGE said, it/was a most shameful
transaction, siud he would issue a summons for Clarke's
appearance, and the plaintiffs ought to see that the
matter was carried out.

Mr. ATKINS now stated that he had served Clarke,
who, however, was not in attendance ; he had sent his
assistant with 255., a part of the money, and a promise to
pay the remainder.
The Learned JUDGE said it was a very shameful case,
and if he ever heard of another like it, he would have
a statement of facts drawn up and submitted to the pro-
per authorities.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
The young woman, Maria Pratt, who was remanded
from Monday last, upon a charge of stealing several
silver spoons, and a valuable ring, the property of Mr.
Burls, of New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, under circum-
stances of marked ingratitude, was this morning again
brought before Alderman Sir William Maguey, when
additional evidence as to her being
.seen in possession of
the property, and having pawned it, was produced, and
she was fully committed.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
John Polishi, a foreigner, was charged with stealing
a hat, pocket handkerchief, and pair of gloves, the pro-
perty of James Gibbon.
The complainant said, that on Wednesday evening he
attended a meeting of freemansons at the Freemasons'
Tavern. The prisoner was there as interpreter to a
person who could not speak English. They were to-
gether in the ante-room, and complainant was in the
board-room. Wishing to speak to a gentleman who was
in the ante-room, witness left his bat, gloves, and a
handkerchief in the board-room, and went to his friend.
When he had been in conversation with his friend for
about ten minutes, the waiter came up to him with an
old hat, not his own, and an umbrella, and said, " These
are yours, sir?" lle said they were not his; but the
waiter replied that that was the only hat in the room.
It being observed that the prisoner had left the room
without his friend, which was unusual, he was pursued
by the waiter and overtaken, and the hat was found upon
him. The gloves and handkerchief were not found.
The prisoner, in broken English, said that he took the
hat by mistake.
The waiter said the prisoner had no right to go into
the board-room at all. He had been at the tavern with
the person for whom he acted as interpreter several times
before, and they always went away together.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
Fredrick Lewis was charged with having committed
an aggravated assault upon a young woman named
Catherine By field.

Complainant said that about 8 o'clock last evening
she was proceeding along the Hampstead-road with an
infant in her arms, when the defendant ran against her,
and on her expostulating with him for not taking more
heed he kicked her, and eventually knocked her down by
a violent blow on the mouth.

A young woman, who was accidentally passing at the
time, confirmed complainant's statement in the main.
The prisoner admitted the assault, but averred that
complainant first struck him several blows and collected
a mob about him.

Mr. LoNc, after commenting upon the unmanliness of
the act, fined him twenty shillings.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A well-known thief named William Smith, alias Jones,
was charged with stealing a roll of flannel, containing 38
yards, from the shop of Miss Emily Saggate, Islington-
terrace.

It appeared that the prisoner was seen, in company
with another man, lurking about the premises for a con-
siderable time, and at length, during the momentary
absence of the person in the shop, the prisoner's cornpa-
nioti walked i❑ and took away the roll of flannel, with
which he got clear off.
Mr. Broughton committed him for trial.

A rumour has reached us of a very painful occur-
rence, affecting the members of two noble families, which
is likely at no distant period to form the subject of legal
proceeding in one of the Civil Courts.—Post.
BRANDING A DESERTER.---Yesterday morning at
Windsor, the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards
in garrison at that place were drawn up in a hollow-
square at the barracks, in Sheet-street, for the purpose
of witnessing the branding, with the letter "D, the
arm of private John Saddles' who had been tried by a
regimental court-martial for desertion, and found guilty
of the offence. John Saddler, after deserting while the
battalion was quartered at the Tower, and being absent
about a month, gave himself up to the military authori-
ties in a state of great distress and destitution. The
charges and sentence having been read over, the opera-
tion was performed by the surgeon of the regiment; it
occupying but a few minutes.
BATHS AND WASII-HOUSES FOR THE POOR.--
Yesterday the committee of the baths and wash-houses
for the labouring poor, situate in George-street, Enston-
square, made a statement of the numbers of individuals
who have availed tht mseles of its benefits since its open.
ing eight weeks since, being 22,568 males and 2,789
females, who have bathed, and 2,132 poor women who
have washed 51,345 articles of wearing apparel.
FUNERAL OF THE D UKE OF ATIIOLL.--The remains
of this Nobleman, which had been brought from London
by the Dundee steamer, were interred in the family
vault in Dunkeld Cathedral, on Saturday last, at one
o'clock in the afternoon. The funeral was strictly pri-
vate, being attended only by the immediate relatives of '
the deceased, the new Duke (the late Lord Glenlyon),
who is the nephew of the deceased, acting as chief
mourner. During the funeral the cathedral bell was
tolled, and all the shops of the town were closed as a
token of respect to the memory of the deceased, and the
illustrious house of Atholl.—Dundee paper.
A GOOD EXAMPLE TO LANDLORDS.—The Duke of
Rutland has, with the liberality which always marks his
Grace's conduct, given directions to have the village of
Codnor culverted and drained, at his sole expense.—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, includirm 2,500 American on speculation. The
market is steady.
We have not any late arrivals to announce to-day
from the British colonies.

The following extract contains some interesting facts
relative to the Cotton trade, crops, Esc., which must be of
interest here and at Liverpool:—
" Tho cotton year closing on the Ist September, it
now appears that the crop of 1845-6, as indicated by the
receipts at the shipping ports, amounts to 2,073,529
bales, in comparison with 2,394,503 bales of the crop of
1844-5, being a difference of 320,974 bales ; the amount
of the crop of the State of Texas, 27,008 bales, being
added this year, makes the crop of the United
States now 2,100,000 bales. This crop was gene•
rally estimated at 2,400,000 bales up to the
Ist of January last, in consequence of the healthy state
of the plant during the whole growing season —a late
frost, end the picking season being the longest and most
favourable on record ; and, in fact, it was only in Feb-
ruary last that the estimates at New Orleans and Mobile,
of the best informed persons, were reduced to 2,100,000
bales, the receipts of those ports falling far short of the no-
minal growth. The quantity taken for home use this last
season, stands at 422,597 bales against 389,000 bales
last year, and 346,744 the year before. Of the present
crop, the quantity received at the shipping ports is about
300 bales against 8,700 last year. In all remarks
during the growing season, we have referred to
the backward state of the plant, and to the excessive wet
and unpropitious weather, and latterly to the estimated
injury of the army worm, and the boll worm; of the
latter the complaints have ceased to any large extent;
but, inconsequence of the first, the picking premeds very
slowly, and it is evident that the growing crop will,
under any circumstances, and even if frost should not
appear till November, be under an average one.
There are no late arrivals this morning, except the
usual mails from the Continent. According to the ac-
counts from Hamburgh, souse districts in Germany will
suffer considerably from the deficiency of the rye crop;
but the failure of the potato crop will not be so extensive
as was apprehended a month ago. Emigration to Ame-
rica was still going forward on an extensive scale, not-
withstanding the lateness of the season, particularly from
the districts bordering on the Rhine.
The leading subject of interest is the accounts re-
ceived from Ireland yesterday, announcing the first
contact with the military and the peasantry from the
failure of the potato crop in that unhappy section of the
empire. Similar collisions to that which appear to have
occurred at Dungarvan, are, however, not unlikely to
follow in other districts, and as nobody can clearly see how
it is possible for the Government to proceed against them,
priori, an increasing degree of anxiety is felt for the re-
sult in the money market. In the meanwhile the price
on provisions keeps steadily advancing in the county mar-
kets in England, and there is no doubt whatever that many
of the farmers are so ill advised that they are v ithhold-
ing the usual supplies under the impression that they
will obtain a further advance.

The Consol Market keeps heavy. Some sales for
Money have been made to-day at 95*, and for Account
at 95f. India Stock is at 258, and India Bonds at 28s.

In the Railway Share Market there is not a feature of
interest.
