BOURSE, May 4—Two o'clock.--The market to-
day shows a fair amount of activity, but the business
transacted is of a very unsettled and irregular cha-
racter. Italian Five per Cents., which touched 49f.
90c. at the opening, have retrograded to 49f. 20c.,
or a decline of sc. on yesterda,y's close ; and French
Threes have receded to --68 f. 35c. Among
miscellaneous securities lrnmobilere have fallen 13f.
75c., and Mobilier 10f., to 372 f. 50c. ; whilst the
shares of the Credit Foncier have advanced 17f. 50e.
to 1,435 f. In the rail way department, the quota-
tions of the principal French lines show a slight re-
covery ; those of foreign companies, on the other
hand, are weak at sensibly lower rates.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This- Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(S.ttings in Banco bofore tho Lord Chief Justice, and
Justices Mellor, Blackburn, and Lush.)
ES PARTE COSTERTON.

This was a rule calling on the defendants, two attor-
neys of this court, to show cause to a complaint brought
by the plaintiff, a captain in the Royal Navy.
It appeared from the statement of counsel that theplain-
tiff employed the defendants, who were in partnership in
in 1861 in some family lawsuit, and the result of the pro-
ceedings showed that he was entitled to otAO. He con-
sented to allow the money to stand over provided they
could get a mortgage for the account. In 1866 he applied
to them for the money, and iu the September of that year
received a letter, putting off the payment. The following
December he received another letter to the effect
that their partnership was dissolved, that they
were insolvent, and that his mortgage was not secured.
The affi.lavit of the plaintiff stated that one of the partners
had induced him by fraudulent representations to allow
them to retain the money.

The Court granted the rule against both attorneys.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chiof Baron, and Barons
Martin, Bramwell, and Piggot.)
SLADE V. SLADE.

This case was resumed this morning, Mr. Coleridge,
Q.C., resuming his arguments on behalf of the defendant.

(LEFT SPEAKING.

CRIMINAL couß r.—(THIS DAY.)

The May session of the Criminal Court commenced this
morning. The calendar does not contain any charge of
murder, but it is a noticeable fact that there is an unusual
number of cases of feloniously wounding, no less than 11
prisoners out of the 74 being charged with that offence.
Many of them are of a serieus character, as they are
charges of wounding the police by parties to resist
their lawful apprehension, and all these cases will be
prosecuted by the Treasury. There are also no fewer
than 15 prisoners charged with robbery accompanied by
violence, an offence that usually is not much hoard of at
this period of the year. There are also two cases of steal-
ing post letters to be disposed of at this session, and it would
seem that this class of crime—which it was hoped through
the recent regulations of the Post-office affecting money
and articles of value by post had received a material check
—is again becoming prevalent. The judges who preside
at this session are Lord Chief Justice Buvill, Mr. Justice
Blackburn, and Mr. Baron Pigott, and the aldermen who
aro to act as second commissioners are Messrs. Wilson,
Sidney, Carden, Hale, Dakin, and Stone.
