OBTAINING MONEY BY THE FALSE PRETENCE OF
GETTING ♦ CHILD INTO A SCROOL.—William Harris, a
stonemason, residing Lt Pendleton-cottage, Hercules'-
buildings, Westminster-road, waa charged, before Mr.
Beadon, with obtaining of Miss Sarah Hughes, of 14,
Golden:squaro, the sum of £5, by the false preterco of
getting a little girl into a school.

The prosecutrix said—l have known the prisoner about
two months, by assisting him. He said he would get my
sister's child into the Stonemasons' School, as it was neg-
lected by its parents. He said he had been to the meeting
and paid 2s. 6d. for entering the child's name, and asked
me for Bs. for another purpose ; and then said he should
want £5 to pay to the institution, and that the child would
have it returned at the end of four years, when it left. She
paid him tho Bs. then, and on the 21st of December paid
him the £5, and he gave me a receipt for the same, and I
gave him £1 for himself for his trouble. After I paid
him the money the prisoner said he would bring me the
rules of the school to read, but he never did so, and that
caused me to suspect him. I sent to his house, but he was
out, and the following Monday his wife called on me, and
said her husband had been robbed of the money. I saw
no more of him till he was taken into custody, and having
made inquiriei at the place where the stonemasons meet, in
the Westminster-road, I have ascertained that there is no
such school in existence. I should not have parted with
my money but that the prisoner said he could get the child
into the school.

Wm. Hellicar, 171 C, said—l took the prisoner into cus•
tody on Saturday evening, and told him he was charged
by Miss Hughes with obtaining money by false pretence s
for getting a child into a school. The prisoner said he
should have done so if he could, but had lost the money in
a public-house.

In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prosecutrix said the child
was legitimate, its father being in the brass trade, but that
it had been neglected. The prisoner said the school was
between Clapham and Wandsworth.

Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner for a
week, and a stonemason had better be in attendance to state
whether there was any such school or not.

ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE CIRCUS,
Leicester-square. Two performances daily of the
successful Comic Jiarlequinade entitled THE GOLDEN
BULL; or Harlequin and the Enchanted Horn, pronounced
by the public Press and the SIXTY THOUSAND persons who
during the past week visited the Alhambra, to be the most
laughable and extraordinary Pantomime ever produced. The
astounding feats achieved by the Educated Bull Don Juan,
perfectly electrified the audience, while the unparalleled
performance of the Aerial Voltigeur, the Great Hurdle Act,
the French Vaulting, the new Comic Scenes, the Wild Hunter,
thp Chinese Tumblers, the graceful daring and dashing Acts
of Equestrianism by the female artistes, the witticisms of the
Clowns, &c, combine to form an Entertainment which for
variety and magnificence far surpasses anything of a similar
description ever previously attempted in this groat metro-
polis. Morning Performance especially recommended for
the visits of the aristocracy, families, and ladies and gentle
men living at a distance, every day at 2 o'clock. The Enter-
tainment in every respect equal to the evening performance,
the Cirque being brilliantly illuminated and well warmed.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were limited. For good and fine
samples the demand ruled steady, at full quotations, but all
other kinds were a dull inquiry. Fine barley and oats were
firm in price. All other produce commanded but little
attention.

Throughout the Continent wheat has moved off slowly at
former rates, but the ♦alue of spring corn has been well
supported. Advices from the United States are to the
effect that both wheat and flour were rather drooping in
price.

Only limited supplies of English produce were received
up to our market last week. From abroad the imports
amounted to 3,475 quarters of wheat, 20,626 barley, 11,970
oats, 3,428 beans, 6,335 tares, 19,177 linseed, 6,991 rape-
seed, 2,900 maize, 482 sundry seeds, 443 sacks and 1,490
barrels of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received up to our mar-
ket to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was small.
Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and
white was limited, buyers showed no disposition to operate
beyond actual wants. Good and fine samples sold slowly at
about last week's currency, but other kinds were very dull,
and to have forced sales lower rates must have been sub-
mitted to by the factors.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. Nearly all kinds were a dull inquiry,
but without leading to any quotable change in value. The
business doing in floating cargoes off Falmouth was only
moderate,

The show of home-grown and foreign barley was toler-
ably good. On the whole the demand ruled steady, at
previous quotations.
New malt maintained its previous value, but old quali-
ties were very dull.
Good and sound oate were in steady request, at full prices.
Damp samples wore dull at late rates.
Most kinds of beans were a dull inquiry, and is to 2s per
quarter cheaper.
White peas maintained their previous value, but grey
qualities gave way is per quarter.
Flour sold slowly ; in prices, however, no change took
place.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was limited,
and its general quality was but middling.
Even for the time of year the suppl y of beasts on offer
this morning was only moderate, but there were some very
useful breeds on sale. The attendance of butchers was
tolerably numerous, and the beef trade ruled steady, at, in
some instances, an improvement in the quotations of 2d per

COLLISION ON TIIE DIVER._ On Saturday after-
noon last about five o'clock the Britannia screw steam vessel,
bound for Cadiz, was proceeding down the river, and when
off Deptford Dockyard she ran down a- steam-tug vessel
which was towing a schooner upwards. The crash was
distinctly heard on the steam-boat pier at Greenwich, a
distance of half a mile, and the steam-tug being completely
split up was fast sinking when she was taken in tow by a
similar vessel which was fortunately near.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was limited,
and its general quality was but middling.
Even for the time of year the supply of beasts on offer
this morning was only moderate, but there were some very
useful breeds on sale. Tho attendance of butchers was
tolerably numerous, and the beef trade ruled steady, at, in
some instances, an improvement in the quotations of 2d per
81bs, the best Scots and crosses having realised 5s per Blbs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,250 shorthorns and
crosses; from other parts of 'England, 900 of various broods;
from Scotland, 270 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland,
90 oxen and heifers.

The supply of nearly all breeds of sheep was limited.
Generally speaking, the mutton trade ruled firm, at extreme
rates, and the best old Downs produced 58 6d per 81bs.

There were a few Dorset lambs on offer.

Calves—the supply of which was only moderate—were in
fair request, at full prices.

after visited by the Rev. Mr. Thompson, who prayed
long and earnestly with him. At noon the proces-

few moments afterwards the criminal had ceased to
exist. There was, as usual in such cases, a large
number of spectators.

FINALE OF TEE FORREST DIVORCE

CASE.

The famous Forrest divorce case, which has been
dragged through all the intricacies of the law
for nine years, has .at length been brought
to a termination. The cause was first tried in New
York in 1850, when the jury gave a verdict in
favour of Mrs. Forrest, awarding alimony at the
rate of three thousand dollars per annum, Mr.
Forrest, dissatisfied with this award, appealed, and
all possible means were employed to obtain a new
trial. To those who take an interest in the turn-
ings and windings, the quips and quirks—we are
almost going to say the absurdities of the law—the
contest was exceedingly entertaining. There were
motions and countermotions, demurrers, replies, and
rejoinders, applications for commissions to the
other end of the world, or the North Pole, perhaps ;
delays, postponements ; and, in fact, everything
that legal ingenuity could suggest was done to gain
time. So, six years slipped away, Mr. Forrest had
continued his triumphant artistic career, and still
maintained the place which he has held at the
head of his profession during more than a quarter
of a century. Mrs. Forrest, resuming her maiden
name, essayed the stage, but with only moderate
success. Mr. Forrest's fortune was at least half a
million, while she had only her professional
earnings. He declined to pay her anything what-
soever in the shape of alimony, having, like the
Jew of Venice, "an oath in Heaven" to contest
the case to the bitter end. The only money re-
ceived by Mrs. Forrest from her husband was
some small allowances while the cause was being
tried. And now, when the final issue is reached.
—when the judge who presided at the trial, and
the most important witnesses who testified upon it
are dead, we have an award which compels Mr.
Forrest to pay at least double the sum given to Mrs.
Forrest by the jury, and three times what it could
have been settled for previous to the trial. The re-
feree awards to Mrs. Forrest four thousand dollars
per annum from the time of the trial, and compels
Mr. Forrest to give bond and mortgage.security for
its prompt payment. What with counsel's fees,
and incidental expenses, &c., the sum total to come
out of the great tragedian's pockets, to say nothing
of the wear and tear of his temper, which must
have been something awful, will not be much less
than a hundred thousand dollars ; and, withal, he
has a fair prospect of paying alimony for many
years to come, Mrs. Forrest's being considered, in.
the assurance view, a good life. In fact, annui-
tants, like office holders, rarely die, and never
resign their claims.

THE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK AT WORCESTER.
—WORCESTER, Saturday.—The particulars of a brutal aid
murderous attack upon an old man, named James Williams,
at Henwick, near this city yesterday week, by his nephew,
John Williams, was reported in this paper on Monday last.
The prisoner has now been finally examined by the county
magistrates, the unfortunate uncle being sufficiently reco-
vered to give his evidence, and has been fully committed to
take his trial at the next Worcestershire Spring Assize. The
old man stated that since the prisoner had been convicted of
bigamy in marrying his cousin (the old man's daughter),
the daughter had lived with him (her father) and he had re-
fused to allow the prisoner to visit her:lt:seems the daughter
met the prisoner in the street, about an hour after the attack
on the old man, and before he had been traced by the police.
She was then unaware of what had taken place.
