ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT—CROYDON, Aua. 6.
(Before Mr. Jiwti e Wale= )
Al ce Agnes 'Williams 35,
.was indict:A for the
wilful murder of Henry John Rix.
Mr. Watkins Williams conducted the prosecu-
tion. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Liiley.
The facts of the case have appeared very recently
in the police reports. The dec,-ased, who seemed
to have been a harmless, inoffensive man, car-
ried on the business of a chandler's shopkeep r
at Walworth, and it appeared that the father f
the prisoner had run up &score with him, which
he was either unable or nnwillng to pry, and the
deceased had sued him in a County Court, and an
order *as made for the l'quidation of tile debt by
the payment of a certain monthly instalment. This
amount was not paid, and the dectra•ed con•e-
fluently obtained a judgment summons, under
which the father of the prisoner was committ-d to
the county gaol. This proce-ding evidently ex-
cited the most intense fe ding of vertgeauc 3 in the
mind of the prisoner, and •he was repe itedly heard
to utter fearful threats against the unfortunate de-
ceased. On the 16,h of July the prisoner went to
the deceased's shop and abused him in the most
violent manner, and she repeatedly said she was
determined to destroy him, and she would not mind
being hung for him. The wife of the deceased did
all she could to keep her husband from coming into
contact with the prisoner, but she contrived to
make her way into the shop, and ended a volley of
abuse by striking the deceased a violent blow with
a stone on the breast; and the evidence left no
doubt that the excitement occasioned by the a tack
that was made upon him and the actual violence he
received were the causes of de ith.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of man-
slaughter, and she was sentenced to six years penal
servitude.
This case concluded the criminal business.

On the order of the day being read for the house going

mittee, and the whole of the claims, after a tew verbal

peated, _

Toe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that G)vernment had no such intention.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The immense success achieved by T. P. Cook as
S9illiim in "Black-eyed Susan" at the Adelphi
Theatre, on the occasion of the recent Jerrold
Commemora' ion," after an absence of many years
from the s age, and the sustaining power exhibited
by the sexagenarian, induce 'l Mr. Buckstoue to
make him an offer for a series of perfutmances in
the same drama. Mr. T. P. Cooke made hie first
appearance for many years on the public sago,
except the one alluded to above, on Monday night
last, and was received with the most deafening
cheers. The performance showed all the old leaven
of the good old school, and indicated much of the
intensity and elasticity of the old times. The
hornpipe,
iPte' which Mr. Cooke danced with Miss
was really surprising, and the last scene
was a masterpiece uf pathos and pantomimic ex-
pression.
Miss M. Oliver, except that she has not black
eyes, mad,- a most charming Susan, and Mr. Buck-
sione exhibited a fine example of genuine comedy
in Gnatbrain.

Mr. T. P. Cooke's engagement, we believe, ex-
tends to a fortnight, and rho e who have not seen
ids William should immediately avail themselves
of the opportunity of witnessing one of the most
remarkable melodramatic performances of modern
time.

TEE RATING OF ST. PANCRAS.—Yesterday a meeting
of the vistry of St. Pancras was held for the purpose of

directors' ebtiia,,te for a poors'-rate of ls. 3d. in the
pound having been presented, an amendment was pre.
pozed to rEduce the rate to ls. 21., which was agree
to by a lame trOjcitity.

RUSSIA.

The Nord says :—Several foreigns journals have
reoently spoken of a descent which the Russians
are said to have attempted on the southern batik of
the Caspian Sea, forming part of the Russian ter-
titory. Accounts, from St. Peterburg explain, this
fact and place the affair in its true light. The Per-
sian province of Astrabad is infested by hordes of
Turcomans, who do not confine themselves to pil-
lage, but carry off men and condemn them to t ry.
Among others, a Russian courier fell into their
hands. In consequence, the Russian commandant
of the maritime station of Astrabad attacked and
took possession of the stronghold of these brigands,
roughly chastised them, and delivered the prisoners,
among whom were several Russian and Persian
subjects."

DERBY SMITHFIELD.-AUG. 4.

There was a plentiful supply of fat beasts to-dal'
and a full attendance of buyers ; the greater part of the
animals were of the better sort, with a heavy sale, and
a clearance could not be effacted. The supply of sheep and
lambs was large, and several lots unsold. A large sup'
ply of fat calves, and a heavy sale. A large number of fat
pigs, good quality, and high prices were asked.
The following were the quotations :—Beef, 6P to 7dl
mutton, 7d to 7id ; lamb, 8d to tad ; veal, 61 tc 61(1 pet

A READY WITNESS.—During the course of a trial at
the recent assizes, says the Durham Advertiser,
learned counsel handed a docu nent up to a witness--•
a quiet-going north countryman, under cross-examina-
tion—which the latter appeared to peruse with great
attention. After be had finished, and the paper bad
been handed back to the learned gentleman, the follow'
ing colloquy ensued :—Couosel—" Illve you read that
document ?" Witness—" Yes." Counsel—" Have you
ever seen it before 9" Witness—" Yes, I think I have."
Counsel (evidently thinking the moment had arrived to
crush his vtctiEn)—" Now, Sir,. on your oath, trll ,e
when you last saw that paper." Witness—" Why,
should think it cannot be much more than half a minute
since !" Toe cool and ready way in which the witness
gave the answer set the C ,urt into a perfect roar of
laughter, in which the judge heartily joined.

Tie block is situated exactly at the head of the
Mound, and forms a portion of the ancient line
which divides the Old and New Town, and serves
to impart to the city so much of its picturesque
grandeur.
The first intimation which the public had was by
a crowd of lads in St. James's Court, who shouted
" Fire ! fire !" and pointed to the issue of smoke
from the third storey off the large west stair.
With the assistance of a number of men, who

affrighted
amid frantic cries of mothers for children and chil-
dren for their parents one family after another
was placed out of the reach of personal danger.
For nearly an hour not a drop of water was to be
had by one of the four engines collected at the
various points from which they could readily have
operated on the building ! There they stood, man-
ned and ready to work, without the ability to dill-
' charge their duty.
The fire was not completely subdued till about
ten o'clock last night.
It is estimated that at least eighty persons, youpg
and old, are thrown upon society by this appalling
calamity.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESICERDAY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
THE QUEEN OF OUDE'S PETITION.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition, signed by
the Queen of Oude, her eldest son, and the brother of
the Kaeg. They expressed the deepest regret at the!ate
news of the defection of the native troops in India, and
they deny all complicity of the late King of Oude with
those proceedings ; that the family hal ever been, and
would continue to be, loyal to the Crown of England.
Tney prayed that the charges against the late King of
Oude might be clearly set forth, in order that they
might be disproved.
Lori ST. LEONARDS pointed out that the petition
presented by the noble and learned lord from the Queen
of Oude, conveyed no prayer to the house, and that it
was objectionable inasmuch as it expressed an opinion
on the ii Brits of a case now under investigation.
Lord REDESDALE called attention to another
omission to the petition, which rendered it informal.
Their lordships would observe that the word " humble"
did not occur once in the wording of the petition.
Lord CAMPBELL said, as the petition was declared
to be informal, of course heshould not press its reception.
He wished it to be distinctly stated that the petition was
sent back in consequence of the omission of the word
," humble."
The petition was then withdrawn.
THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition
from the merchants and traders, and owners of property
on the banks of the river Thames, against the Thames
Conservancy Bill, The petition ought to have been
presented before, but it bad not come into his hands
before the bill passed.
BANKING BILL.
Lord ST. LEONARDS complained of the hasty
manner in which this bill had been passed through the
house. It bad been his intention to move the insertion
of certain amendments to provide for the publication of
accounts and other safeguards, but in consequence of
the hurried way in which the bill was disposed of he was
precluded from so doing.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY denied that there
had been any undue haste in passing this bill. He hail
informed the noble lord that he intended to proceed
with the bill, and he must see that if the bill had been
postponed it would, taking the advanced period of the
session into consideration, have endangered its passing
this year.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A ❑ew comedy, in three acts, called "Double-faced
People," was produced at this house on Saturday night,
with more than ordinary success. There were rounds
of applause, not only at the close of the piece, but at
the end of every act. In answer to calls for " the au-
thor," Mr. Buckstone intimated that the drama was a
" free translation from the French." It is an adapta-
tion to our stage of a piece called "Les Faux Bons-
Hommes," which has been in great vogue at Paris dur-
ing the last season. The adaptation, by substituting
London for Paris, and Eoglibh characters for French,
has been cleverly executed.
The plot of the piece consists of the endeavours of a
speculating father, a member of the Stock Exchange, to
get his two daughters " happily (i. C. " wealthily ")
married.

The play was put on the stage with completeness and
elegance. The acting, in its ensemble, was quite satis-
factory. The principal character, Vacile, was performed
by Chippendale ; Medley and Scrummel, the two artist-
friends, by W. Farren and Buckstone; Emily and Fanny,
the two sisters, by Mrs. E. Fitz /villain and Mks Rey-
noLls ; Gloss by Compton, and Monybee by Rogers.
The house was very fully and fashionably attended.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

About average supplies of potatoes have come to hand
coastwise and by land-carriage, since our last report. The
imports have amounted to 203 tons, from Rotterdam; 65
do., from Flushing; 85 do., from Temense, and 20 sacks
from Belfast. The demand is tolerably firm, as follows :
York Regents, 95s to 130 s per ton; rent and Essex do.,
1005 to 130 s; Lincolns, 85s to 105 s ; Scotch do,, sss to

The Chancellor of the Exchequer having yiel,3ed
to the all but unanimously-expressed opinion of the
House against referring the important question,
of the renewal of the Bank Charter Act, the regu-
lation of the National Currency, and the laws re-
lating to Joint-Stock Acts, to the same Committee,
it is unnecessary to advert at any length to that
singularly impolitic proposition. The subjects are
wholly maconnacted, and the only possible effect
would have been to poApone, perhaps, to another
sesiien the legiattl?n so urgently required on
both points, and to permit sharp practitioners to
more than double the losses occasioned to the un-
f )rtunate shareholders iu the cases of the Tippe-
rary Joint-Stock and the Royal British Bank.,

ness doing in the privatemarket is limited, yet we have
no sellers except on higheicterms. Last week's imports
were 87 bags from Hambro , and 141 'from Seville.
The following are the current rate, of Enelish wool :

We had a very moderate supply of foreign stock here to_
day, bat its general quality was tolerably prime.
From our own grazing districts the rscei pts of beasts
fresh up this morning were only moderate. With very
few exceptions they came to hand in good saleable condi-
tion. Although the attendance of butchers was not very
numerous, the beef trade ruled steady at last Monday's
currency—the best Scots producing N per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, amounted to 2,000 Scots and shorthorns ;
from other parts of England, 320 of various breeds; from
Scotland, 350 Scots, and from Ireland 70 oxen.

We were again very scantily supplied with sheep, nearly
the whole of which were in prime condition. The mutton
trade was firm, and the prices realised last week were
steadily supported. The best old Downs realised 5s 6d per
81bs.

Very few English calves were in the market, but the
show of foreign was tolerably good. The veal trade was
in a sluggish state at Friday's decline in value of 2d per
81bs. The top figure was 5s 6d per 81bs.
Pigs were in moderate supply and dull in sale on former
terms.

KNIGHTSBRIDGE AND PIMLICO CASES.

These cases came this morning before the Privy Coun-
cil in an appeal from the Court of Arches, the question
in dispute being the use of crosses, stone altars, and
decorations in the above two churches, the contentions
respecting which have excited a great deal of publics at-
tention, and caused much scandal on the Church.
Sir F. KELLY appealed for the appellant ; the Rev.
Mr. Liddell addressed the Court i❑ support of the us•
of the objectionable articles as being legal, and per-
mitted by the Church of England. The learned gentle-
man's line of argument was very similar to that used in
the Arches Court, and with which the public ar•
familiar.
The learned counsel had not concluded when our dos-
