TUB STEREORA MA AT CREMORNE.

Yesterday, Mr. T. B. Simpson, proprietor of
Cremorne Gardens, appeared before Mr. Arnold,
at the Westminster Police•court, to answer a sum-
mons taken out by Mr. Samuel Beachcroft, sur-
veyor of the parish of Chelsea, for that he being
the builder engaged in erecting a building, situate
in Cremorne Gardens, neglected to give him, the
said surveyor, two days' notice before such build-
ing was commenced, contrary to the statute, by
which neglect he had rendered himself liable to a
penalty of £2O.

Mr. Pawle was engaged by Mr. Simpson.
Mr. Beachcroft said that about three years ago
he attended at that court to prefer a similar charge
against Mr. Simpson, and which was dismissed on
the ground that he (Mr. Arnold) by whom the case
was investigated, was of opinion that the structure
did not come within the meaning of the act as to
what was a building. The present was, however,
a very different case.
Mr. Arnold asked in what way the present
charge differed from that he formerly heard ?
Mr. Beachcroft replied that in the present case
there was some brickwork upon the ground, and a
quantity of posts, which were sunk about four feet
in the ground in concrete. You, sir, dismissed the
former summons as you were of opinion that the
former structure was not to be a permanent one.
Mr. Arnold—This appears to be a very different
case. Let me hear the evidence.

Mr. Alfred Williams, clerk to Mr. Beacheroft,
provfundMatyhehebuilding in
went into
course of erection. It was nearly circular, about
ntehaGt

108 feet in diameter, and at each angle posts
were let into the ground. There were also posts
varying from 34 to 26 feet in height. At the top
of the building there was to be a cupola, and the
roof was to be covered with asphalted felt. In the
centre of the structure was a raised platform, about
eight feet from the ground, and the public were
admitted to it by an inclined ascent.
Mr. Pawle said that the present summons differed
very little from the previous one, and he was pre-
pared to show that the structure in question did
not come within the interpretation of the word
building," as contemplated by
after being erected, could be speedily removed,
and be placed in another position. Mr. Simpson.
had been at a very considerable expense in endea-
vouring to obtain views of various parts of the
scenery of Switzerland, and which he was iesirou
of exhibiting at Cremorne Gardens. Messrs. thieve
and Telbin, under his direction, had been to
Switzerland, passing into Italy over the Alps by the
pass of the Mont St. Gothard, and had taken views
of all the picturesque scenery on the journey.
These his client wanted to exhibit as a painting,
and it was only for this purpose that the structure
''as erected. It was a structure that was easily
removable, and he considered not such a one as was
contemplated by the act as a building, any more
than could a dancing booth, or any large tent for
the exhibition of shows at a fair. After a long ar-
gument,

Mr. Arnold observed that it was a case of some
importance, and that before he gave his de( i•ion
he should take an opportunity of going to t'.e
Gardens, and seeing the " building" in question.
He concluded by sa3ing that he would let the
parties know when he would resume the investi-
gation of th:. case,

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

During the past few days there has been less
animation in the market for foreign and colonial
produce. The butter qualities of tea have slightly
declined in price, while sugars have receded about
6d. per cwt. For coffee there has been a better
inquiry, the finer descriptions of Plantation Ceylon
having advanced 6d. per cwt. Rice has been in-
active. A limited business has been done in fruit
and spices. Saltpetre has continued in moderate
request at steady rates, and tallow has exhibited
rather more activity, the quotations for forward
delivery having slightly advanced.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
nese continued moderately active, but prices were
depressed. The sales were 8,000 bales.
A small quantity of gold, viz., £5,000, was sent
into the Bank of England yesterday.

An instalment of 25 per cent., amounting to
£343,250, is due to-day on the Brazilian Loan
negotiated in March.
A steady demand for money is still reported, and
more activity is expected during the next two or
three days, owing to the commercial engagements
of the 4th of the month, and the provision that will
have to be made for several heavy railway calls,
the amount required for that purpose in the present
month being £2,490,095.
At the meeting of the proprietors of the London
Chartered Bank of Australia, held this day, a
dividend at the rate for the half-year of 31 per
cent. free of Income Tax, was unanimously agreed
to.

There is very little business in progress at the
Stock Exchange, and the markets continue heavy
at the reduced prices current yesterday afternoon,
Consols being 94 95. The position of affairs on
the Continent, and the depression of the French
Funds, produce an unfavourable effect. The .New
Three per Cents. and the Reduced are flat at 931 1;
the New 21 per Cents. are 79; India Loan is 1061
; ditto Debentures are firm at 96;7; and Exche-
quer Bills remain at 7s. to 10s. prem. Bank Stock
is firm at 228 and 2291.
Rather less firmness has been apparent in
Foreign Securities, and the transactions have been
limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 74 to 741 ;
ditto New, 57 to 571. Portuguese have receded to
441, Mexican to 2170 Chilian are 1021; Buenos
Ayres, 851 861 ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents.
are 99.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21
prem.; the Thames and Mersey ditto, 14 4 prem.;
and the Universal ditto, prem. _

A slight downward movement has been appa-
rent in the Railway Share Market, the decline, in
several instances, amounting to to s per cent.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Mid-
land, and South-Eastern have receded 55.; Great
Northern, Great Western, and North Eastern (Ber-
wick), 10s. ; South Western have improved about
ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial markets the deal-
ings have been very limited. Lombardo-Venetian
have declined to ; Dutch Rhenish, 9 ; Grand
Trunk of Canada, to 1-; and Great Western of
Canada, e to—,. East Indian and Great Indian
Peninsula each brought previous rates.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have been inactive. London Joint• Stock, however,
have improved to 331 ; London and Westminster,
to 611 ; Canada Land, to 122 and 123; and Peel
River Land, to 47,1.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY. s
THE IRISH PAPAL BRIGADE.
There are further accounts this morning of the
success of the Pope's recruiting sergeants, and of
resignations in the Irish constabulary, the men ex- st
changing the Queen's livery for the uniform of the st
Irish Papal Brigade. The Limerick Examiner re-
ports as follows :—" Notwithstanding the recent
proclamation, the movement to raise in Ireland a
brigade for the service of the Pope is said to pro- I
gress with steadiness and rapidity. The North si
Riding of Tipperary has already furnished a con- st
siderable contingent, and in the south there are
numbers of young men of respectable families and
position who profess themselves ready and willing
to support the cause of the Pope. Throughout s.
Tipperary and Limerick the police are everywhere st
resigning. Yesterday morning 15 young men left st
Limerick en route for Rome."
The Cork Examiner of Wednesday says :—" Up
to yesterday six sub-constables had tendered their
resignation, and it is stated that several others have st,
it in contemplation to follow their example. Some St
of these have been in the force six and eight years, st

and allege as a reason for the change the low salary
at present doled out to them, which is aboutb equal stc
to the wages of the humblest labourer. T stc
pose emigrating to a land where, it is hoped,eyP
theiru-
services will be more highly prized."
A letter from Drogheda remarks The enthu- 1,
siasm for emigration to Italy still continues here in st
Drogheda as well as in the neighbouring districts. st
There are 40 members of the constabulary stationed st,
in this town, and out of these no less than 10 of the 5,3:
finest men in the lot have just tendered their resig-
nations in the usual way. Their 'withdrawal from
the force at this particular time is ominous. Of
course, they have stated no cause which led them
to come to such a resolution. About 30 out of the
40 members are Roman Catholics, and it is the
opinion of the people here that all the latter will
resign and enrol themselves in the brigade, as there
are very attractive promises held out to them in
bounty and pay."

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AT BROMPTON.-
The annual court of the governors of this excellent charity
was held yesterday in the board-room of the hospital. The
Marquis of Westminster was in the chair; and it appeared
from the report that during the last year 972 patients had
been admitted, being an increase of 355 over the previous
year ; 668 patients had been dismissed,
many greatly
benefited, and 124 had died. As so many deaths had oc-
curred during a short period, it was necessary that the
governors should exercise more caution in the selection of,
patients for admission. A great deal of good had been done
among the out-patients, and the number of cases prescribed
for in 1859 was 4;649 ; in 1858 the number was 3,971. The
annual subscriptions amounted to £3,832 195., and the do-
nations to £4,395 Hs. 7d. The general income of the
hospital amounted to £11,985 6s. 9d., and after the pay •
ment of all expenses, a balance of £642 ss. 10d. was left in
hand. On the motion of Mr. Hugham, seconded by Rev.
W. Niven, the report was adopted. Several alterations
ware then made in the standing rules of the institution,
and.the meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the
eh tirman.

THE FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY TERMINUS. —ln addition to the
proceedings taken against Warrener,. the guard, for being
drunk and neglecting to perform his duty, whilst guard of
a train on the Great Northern Railway, whereby the lives
of several persons travelling by the train were endangered,
at St. Pancras, on the evening of May 30, the directors
have instituted a most stringent inquiry into the circum-
stances connected with the melancholy
.occurrence. The re-
sult will not be made known until the investigation termi.
nates. The locomotive (the Queen), which is the most
powerful on the establishment of the Great Northern Com-
pany, will be minutely examined by competent engineers,
in order to ascertain if any defect in the machinery led to
the melancholy disaster. Information of the accident
having been forwarded to the railway- department of the
Beard of Trade, an officer of the Royal Engineers will com-
mence a separate investigation, assisted by several civil
engineers of eminence.
