affair was brought to to contend for e
Mon-
day, when they went to scalean The
combatants were limited to "ii issaute yestercla(z-.
9st. 41b., and
both were within tihnetmi mark,
eeeWilkinson,diti George
who stands
Brown's
sft. Bin., being
combatants. while Hall
was not so well up To thpe mark. Although the
yesterday
considered as unknown to the London ring, still
9 until e present occasion, may be
they gave sufficient proof of skill and
bravery to render their names conspicuous. After
an agreeable voyage, the ring was formed on a
well-known spot, and such expedition had been
used that the belligerents :were within the ring
soon after ten o'clock, Hall being first to step within
the ropes. He was waited on by Jack M'Donald
and George Gawton, while Bob Brettle, of Bir-
mingham, and Jem Hodgkiss, his trainer, did the
needful for Wilkinson. Not more than even money
was laid. By eleven o'clock the combatants were
conducted to the scratch, and left to begin this
heroically sustained match. The contest on both
sides was maintained with the utmost spirit, and
up to the time when the men had been fighting
one hour and a half, it would have been impossible
to give a fair guess of who would prove the winner.
About this time, however, the superior condition,
and his telling right-handers, began to give Wil-
kinson a lead, and having once taken this in a deci-
sive manner, despite the strenuous efforts of his
opponent he maintained it to the finish. In the
whole 54 rounds were fought, occupying two hours
and twenty minutes, when Jack M'Donald finding
there was no hope, and not liking to see so game a
man uselessly punished, threw up the sponge in
token of defeat, and Wilkinson was hailed the
winner of one of the gamest mills on record. Both
men were much punished, Hall, in fact, notwith-
standing the heavy right-handers above noted,
appearing to suffer as much from physical exhaus-
tion ae from the handiwork of his opponent.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS, June 28.—There has been a quiet but
steady market in the cloth-halls to-day, and about
an average amount of business has been done.
Prices of both wools and cloth are firm. At the
Doncaster wool market on Saturday there was a
large supply and a good demand. Prices were :
Fine all-hog wool, 225. to 235. per 14,11 b. ; one-
third hog wool, 19s. 9d. to 20s. 9d.; ewe wool, 18s.
to 18s. 6d.

MANCHESTER, 28th.—In the yarn-market there
was not much business. There was more or
less demand from most quarters, home and
foreign, except Germany. For the latter mar-
ket the uncertainty which hangs over the future
movements of Prussia paralyses trade, and buyers
prefer the cautious policy which has marked their
transactions for some months past. In home trade.
India, and some other yarns spinners are well en-
gaged, stocks are low, and there are not many
goods offering, so that prices are firm and steady.
in the cloth-market there is very little change since
last week. The market is quiet, but there is some
demand for most markets, and a steady general
business is the result. Stocks are limited, most of
our manufacturers have contracts on hand, and
prices are well maintained. A failure at Liverpool
of a house in the Manchester trade, shipping to
Bombay, with liabilities to the amount of about
£140,000, has created an unpleasant feeling, most
of the losses falling on houses in this city.

LIVERPOOL-JuNl 28.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the past
week have been small. From foreign ports we have received
40,324 quarters wheat, 2,340 quarters beans, 5,868 quarters
Indian corn, and 17,659 sacks flour. The exports, in the
same time, comprise 640 quarters of wheat, 610 qrs oats.
405 qrs beans, 1,850 qrs I..dian corn, and 2,006 sacks and
506 barrels flour. This mornink we had only a small
attendance at our corn exchange. The business passing
was limited for wheat and flour, at previous rates for prime
samples ; inferior, however, may be quoted ld to 2d per
cental dearer. Oats and oatmeal a dull sale, without altera-
tion in value. Barley, beans, and peas 2d per cental lower
on the week. Indian corn met with a good demand, and
several parcels changed hands at an advance of ld to 2d
per cental.

be no costs on either side, and declared accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(T.HIS DA Y.)

BOW-STREET.

STEALING MONEY LETTERS.—A gentlemanly-dressed
man, named Burke, a clerk in the General Post-office, was
placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a letter
containing money, the property of the Postmaster-General.
From the evidence of Mr. John Gardner, a clerk in the
General Post-office, it appeared that the prisoner was in
the service of the General Post-office, and had been so for
about 11 years, as clerk. Part of his duty was
to travel on Sunday evenings on the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway with the Cambridge and Ely letters,
which it was his duty to sort and arrange for
delivery. In consequence of numerous complaints of the
non-arrival of letters for that district containing sums of
money, a fictitious letter was made up, in which was placed
two half-sovereigns and 12 postage-stamps, in order to test
the servants of the Post-office. It was directed to " Rev.
W. Smythe, Rectory, Midhurst." The letter was posted
at Romford, and the postmaster saw it put into the bag,
which was taken to the prisoner in the Cambridge sorting
tender. A letter directed to a place at Tunbridge-wells
was also put in the bag, but not containing money. When
the letters left the prisoner's charge the letter directed
to Midhurst could not be found, but the one directed
to Tunbridge Wells was properly returned. When the
prisoner next appeared at the Post-office he was asked to
account for the letter, but he denied all knowledge of it.
Bingham, the police-officer attached to the establishment,
asked him if he had any objection to his searching him.
Tho prisoner said he had not. In one of his waistcoat
pockets a sovereign and four half-sovereigns were found,
and in the other 12 postage stamps. Two of the half-
sovereigns and the postage stamps were the marked articles
placed in the lost letter at St. Martin's-le-Grand. The
prisoner's salary amounted to about £l7O per annum.
Burke, in his defence, said he found the half-sovereigns
and the postage stamps loose in one of the Cambridge bags.
He was fully committed for trial.

SANO'S CONCERT.

The annual morning concert, given by these two accom-
plished artistes, is one of the musical treats of the season.
On this occasion it was given in St. James's Hall, and took
place on Monday last. Madame 13assano sang two or three
songs with her usual ability. She has a good contralto
voice, and sings carefully. Madame Lemmens Sherring
ton distinguishEd herself by her fine clear voice and correct
singing. She undertook several arduous tasks, and
acquitted herself creditably. Mr. Sims Reeves and Herr
Reichardt both took part in the morning's performances.
Mr. Sims Reeves sang Hatton's "Excelsior," and a new
ballad, by Ganz; and Herr Reichardt gave a romance from
" Linda di Chan.ouni," and a German Lied of his own com-
position. M. Ries Lefort was the chief bass singer, and
sang with spirit and success. The intrumentalists were
very eminent. Herr Kuhe played a brilliant fantasia
on the piano-torte, arranged by himself on airs

from Martha. He also took part in a duet
with Signor riatti, which was warmly applauded.
A solo on the violoncello, by Signor Piatti, also gratified
the audience. aerr Engel, whose performances on the
harmonium are so well known, played a fantasia from
" Don Pasquale' with wonderful skill, Herr Joachim,
who is considered by many the first violinist of the day,
was, of course, attentively listened to and cordially received.
The Brousil family performed a fantasia of Ernst's on
violins and the violoncello, accompanied by the elder sister
on the piano. Ti is to be hoped that premature develop-
ment wlll not interfere With the remarkable ability these
children certainly display.. Where real talent undoubtedly
°asts, it is to be regretted that the promise of later years
is sacrificed to juvenile precocity. There were several other
performers in the programme, The hall was crowded, and
the audience appeared to be highly gratified by the even-
ing's entertainment,

THE IVESTERN BANK.

The initiatory step in the proceedings against
the directors of the Western Bank was taken on
Saturday by the service of the summons at the in-
stance of the liquidators. The document, which
extends to about 80 pages, sets forth at great length
the grounds on which it is sought to make the
directors liable for the losses sustained by the bank.
It contains 22 " conclusions" against them. The
first is for payment of £42,000 for loss sustained by
the acts of the directors from the 30th of June,
1847, to the 28th of June, 1848 ; the second, for
£44,000 lost in 1848-9 ; the third, for £43,000 in
1849-50 ; the fourth, fbr £58,000, in 1850-2 ; the
fifth, for £27,000, in 1851-2 ; the sixth, for £1,600
in 1852-3 ; the seventh, for £70,000 in 1852-3 ; the
eighth, for £140,000 in 1853-4 ; the ninth, for
£227,000 in 1854-5; the 10th, for £148,000 in
1855-6 ; the 11th, for £23,000, from Jnne to
August, 1856 ; the 12th, for £185,000, in 1856-7 ;
the 13th, for £36,000 from the 24th of June to the
28th of July, 1857 ; the 14th, for £67,000, from
the 28th of July to the Bth of October, 1857 ;
and the 15th, for £B,OOO, from the Bth of October
to the 9th of November, 1857. The re-
maining seven conclusions are for the losses
sustained on account of the business of the
bank having been carried on after 25 per cent. of
the capital had been lost. Thus, the 16th conclu-
sion is for payment of £2,250,000 for loss by carry-
ing on the business subsequent to the 25th of June,
1851, under deduction of any sums which may be
recovered for the separate losses under any of the
previous conclusions ; the 17th, subject to a like
deduction, is for payment of £2,000,000, for loss
sustained 'by carrying on the business subsequent
to the 23d of June, 1852. The sums in the remain.
ing five conclusions gradually diminish with each
year, and are respectively as follows :—£1,800,000,
£1,650,000, £1,300,000, £1,000,000, and £600,000.
The " condescendence" states that the balance-sheets
or abstracts of the company's affairs, for the years
1847 to 1857, were false and fraudulent, concealed
the true state of matters, and grossly misrepresented
the state of affairs and the position of the company.
It also states that no profits were made by the com-
pany after June, 1851, when upwards of 25 per
cent. of the capital had been lost, but enormous
losses were sustained and bad debts of large amount
contracted. The pleas in law are that the defen-
ders are liable to the pursuers for the losses sus-
tained by the bank and its shareholders, on the
grounds of wrongous, culpable, and gross violation
and neglect of duty, and also on the ground of
excess of power and contravention of the company's
contract of copartnery, by the directors and com-
mittee of management. They also state that the
defenders are liable for the loss sustained in con-1
sequence of the bank carrying on business subse-
quent to June, 1851, on the grounds of fraudulent
concealment practised, and false and fraudulent
representations made to the bank and its share-
holders, by the directors and committee of manage-
ment.

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all
kinds of wheat of home produce. Although the attendance
of buyers was limited, the demand ruled steady, and Mon
day's prices were well supported.

The transactions in foreign wheat, the show of which was
extensive, were limited. In the quotations, however, no
ehange took place. Floating cargoes were very dull.
The supply of barley was small, yet sales progressed
slowly, at late rates. Malt was heavy, at Monday's cur-
rency.

There was an improved sale for oats, and'prices were the
urn higher.

In beans and peas very little was passing.
We had a moderate inquiry for flour, the prices of which
were well supported.

1:IN TRUE and FALSE SPERIVIATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
i relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
'My of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
ractical contributions to German medical literature. This
i the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
1 st, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it
ay be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
i " The editor has' conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
4nd by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
qdventurere, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
Ourses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
clarions forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
tribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
ie malady."—Medical Circular.

1 " We have delayed so long upon the contents of tha preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE .REDUCTION IN THE NAVY.

We are requested to state that the reduction in
the number of seamen which took place after the
Crimean war was accomplished without prematurely
discharging those who had taken service for a
specific period of time. The circumstances under
which this sudden, and, as it now proves, prejudi-
cial diminution of our naval forces, took place were
as follows :—The demand for the cessation of the
war income tax forced the Government to bring
the Military and Naval Estimates within the limits
of the revenue as it would stand when the extra
ninepence was taken off. To carry out this ob-
ject, all the seamen who had not engaged for a
specific time were dismissed, and, though these had.
doubtless quitted the merchant service with the
idea that they were to have something like perma-
nent employment in the Navy, and were not to be
sent adrift in 18 months, yet, as no contract for a
certain period of employment had been entered
into, it cannot be said that faith was broken with
them. As to those engaged for a specific period of
service, they were simply allowed their immediatedischarge, if they choose to take it. A great num-
ber did so, and thus the number of seamen for the
iennissusimngayyebare weeanssibdreoruegdhtaswikteheivninthge
available revenue. So far as the non-dismissal of
those whom the Government could not legally dis-
seamen, we must admit that the Admiraltyh just
asJ
grounds for defence ; but it is .well known that the
wholesale discharge of men—of all,
it appears, who
were not
. engaged. for a definite period—has created
much ill-feeling amon a class on whom the coun-
try's safety depends ; nor can we think that the
act was. altogether undeserving of the expressions
we applied to it.— Tines. fa:Rh:sit:

THE SKELETON LEAF.—In the old tropical aqua-
rium on hot houae No. 6,
in Kew Gardens, there is a fine
specimen of that most wonderful of all vegetable produc-
tions, the lace or latice leaf plant of Madagascar. It has
been copied by
the artificial florists of London and has
taken exceedingly well, and is becoming very fashionable
with the ladies,
many millions of leaves having been maAs
and mounted into wreaths, garlands, chaplets, and coronels
in Clerkenwell alone; it is 'now being largely exported to
all our colonies, and has produced the manufacturers con-
siderable profit. who have named it the Skeleton leaf.
This is but one illustration of the commercial value erjievi
G irdens to this country.

WILKINSON— OF THE POTTERIES) AND
provincials had to contend for the
affair the circui • 't " and the
combatants were limited to 9st. 4113., and on Mon-
day,was brought to on issue yesterday. The
when they went to scale at George Brown's,
both were within the mark, Wilkinson, who stands
sft. Sin., being in tip-top condition, while Hall
was not so well up to the mark. Although the
combatants, until the present occasion, may be
considered as unknown to the London ring, still
they yesterday gave sufficient proof of skill and
bravery to render their names conspicuous. After
an agreeable voyage, the ring was formed on a
well-known spot, and such expedition had been
used that the belligerents were within the ring
soon after ten o'clock, Hall being first to step within
the ropes. He was waited on by Jack M'Donald
and George Gawton, while Bob Brettle, of Bir-
mingham, and Jem Hodgkiss, his trainer, did the
needful for Wilkinson. Not more than even money
was laid. By eleven o'clock the combatants were
conducted to the scratch, and left to begin this
heroically sustained match. The contest on both
sides was maintained with the utmost spirit, and
up to the time \\len the men had been fighting
one hour and a half, it would have been impossible
to give a fair guess of who would prove the winner.
About this time, however, the superior condition,
and his telling right-handers, began to give Wil-
kinson a lead, and having once taken this in a deci-
sive manner, despite th strenuous efforts of his
opponent he maintained it to the finish. In the
whole 54 rounds were fought, occupying two hours
and twenty minutes, when Jack M'Donald finding
there was no hope, and not liking to see so game a
man uselessly punished, threw up the sponge in
token of defeat, and Wilkinson was hailed the
winner of one of the gamest mills on record. Both
men were much punished, Hall, in fact, notwith-
standing the heavy right-handers above noted,
appearing to suffer as much from physical exhaus-
tion as from the handiwork of his opponent.

depending on assistance from other quarters, she
had no reasonable chance against the combined
forces of France and Piedmont ; nor, in truth,
against France single-handed. But the Emperor
FRANCIS JOSEPH was led away by young ambition,
and flattered by fallacious hopes of extinguishing
the rising spirit of Italian Freedom. And noW let

we trust the Prussian people will show their

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CASH-Box ROBBERY AT THE HA BANA MAR COM-
PANY'S OFFFIcE.—A LUCKY ACCIDENT.— ()belt Smith,
a respectable-looking lad, and who for 18 months had been
in the employ of the Habana Cigar Company, 48, Pall-
Mall, as porter, was charged with breakingl open a cash-
box and stealing therefrom. some memoranda, a large
amount of cash having fortunately been previously re-
moved. I

From the evidence of Mr. Gurney Gore, the secretary of
the company, it appeared that the prisoner, who was under
dlccharge for misconduct, wets in the habit of going to the
office at nine o'clock in the morning, and that on Monday
last about 12 on his (the secretary's) going to the safe in
which the cash-box was deposited he found the box had
been broken open with a pair of tongs with great force,tso
that the box was broken in pieces, the pieces being left in
the safe and the memoranda taken away—an accident
only having caused a large sum of money not to be depo-
sited in the box.

In answer to Mr. Beadon, the witness said the prisoner
had been seen at the office on Monday morning, but absented
himself till yesterday afternoon, when he came and gave
himself up

Mr. Louis Silberberg, manager of the company, said the
prisoner was under discharge, and was to leave on Saturday
next. On the previous afternoon the prisoner came to the
office with his aunt and gave himself up, saying "he was
very sorry." Nothing was taken away but the papers, but
the prisoner was aware that cash was kept in the box, and
a mere accident prevented a large sum being probably taken
away. He had discharged the prisoner before for miscon-
duct, but had taken him back, the prisoner's mother stating
that his suspicions at tho time were misplaced. He wished
to state that a pair of tongs, evidently used for the purpose
of breaking open the box, were found broken in pieces.
Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner for a few days.

STEALING MONEY LETTERS.—A gentlemanly-dressed
man, named Burke, a clerk in the General Post-office, was
placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a letter
containing money, the property yf the Poitmaster-General.

From the evidence of Mr. John Gardner, a clerk in the
General Post-office, it appeared that the prisoner was in
the service of the General Post-office, and had been so for
about 11 years, as clerk. Part of his duty was
to travel on Sunday evenings on the Eastern Coun-

ties Railway with the Cambridge and Ely letters,
which it was his duty to sort and arrange for
delivery. In consequence of numerous complaints of the
non-arrival of letters for that district containing sums of
money, a fictitious letter was made up, in which was placed
two half-sovereigns and 12 postage-stamps, in order to test
the servants of the Post-office. It was directed to " Rev.
W. Smythe, Rectory, Midhurst." The letter was posted
at Romford, and the postmaster saw it put into the bag,
which was taken to the prisoner in the Cambridge sorting
tender. A letter directed to a place at Tunbridge-wells
was also put in the bag, but not containing money. When
the letters left the prisoner's charge the letter directed
to Midhurst could not be found, but the one directed
to Tunbridge Wells was properly returned. When the
prisoner next appeared at the Post-office he was asked to
account for the letter, but he denied all knowledge of it.
Bingham, the police-officer attached to the establishment,
asked him if he had any objection to his searching him.
The prisoner said ho had not. In one of his waistcoat
pockets a sovereign and four half-sovereigns were found,
and in the other 12 postage stamps. Two of the half-
sovereigns and the postage stamps were the marked articles
placed in the lost letter at St. Martin's-le-Grand. The
prisoner's salary amounted to about £l7O per annum.
Burke, in his defence, said he found the half-sovereigns
and the postage stamps loose in one of the Cambridge bags.
He was fully committed for trial.

Judge of the Bankrupt Court, and a first-class chair-
manship (Cork, East Riding), worth £l,lOO a-year,
and a sergeantcy become vacant. Mr. Charles
Barry, of the Munster Circuit, has been appointed
Crown Prosecutor for the city and county of Dub-
lin, in the room of Mr. O'Donohue, deceased. The
Right lion. Maziere Brady will be sworn in to-day
as Lord Chancellor, and will take his seat on Thurs-
day next.

THE RE-ELECTIONS,
Lords Castlerosse and Proby have addressed
their respective constituencies of Kerry and Wick-
low counties, and there is no present prospect of
opposition to their re-election. An ultra-Tory
local paper tearfully admits that Lord Castle-
rosse is perfectly worthy of any Royal or Minis-
terial favour.

The traffic on the Lombardo-Venetian Railway
continues to be carried on so as to disprove all the exagge-
rated misgivings entertained at the commencement of the
war. The receipts for the week ending the 17th inst. show
anincrease of 9 S
--'0,294, or wore than 60 per cent., although,
owing to the military movements, the earnings on the
Lombard portions are not all included.
[ADVERTISEMENT]. Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Hooping Cough.—Every nurse thinks she knews a remedy
for this complaint, but unfortunately the bills of mortality
show them to be fallible. The late Dr. Thompson always
recommended sufferers from hooping cough to be kept
warm, fed on milk and vegetable diet, and rubbed well on
the spine and pit of the stomach with Holloway's ointment
three times a-day, wearing flannel next the skin. No
treatment is so safe, speedy, and efficient, no case can re-
sist it, and no ill consequences ever result from it. The
cough continuing from habit after the disease declines is
readily and radically removed by Holloway's preparations,
which act more like magic than medicine in every stage of
this tiresome disease.
