TALLOW.

Witness—lndeed you have.

supplied him with rifles, but I have delivered rifles to him,
and delivered to him the one now sued for. I never agreed
to pay him a commission. He has had presents, but was
never led to suppose that ha was to have commission, though
he now claims it. I was introduced to the corps by a cer-
tain gentlenrn. .

Jewitt —Our case is that we have paid the money.
Doughty brought the rifle to defendant, and produced a
bill from Reilly. My client looked upon him as the agent
of Reilly, and paid the debt.

His Honour—The difficulty is to show that Doughty was
the agent authorised of the plaintiff. It does not follow
that because Doughty was authorised to get orders that he
was also empowered to receive money. You see defen-
dant had an account from the plaintiff, and, consequently,
mnst have known to whom he was indebted for this rifle.
Mr. Dewitt--The sergeant is here, and your Honour
1861 I will hear his evidence.

„..
Sergeant Doughty said he was formerly in the 4th
Surrey Rifles, but now was not. The receipt put in was
signed by witness. Had introduced a number of members
to plaintiff, and had altogether received from plaintiff's
manager about 30 rifles. Baker promised to give witness a
commission of 5 per cent., and witness claimed something
now. Witness had received money and paid it over to
Baker, who allowed witness to do so.
Baker—Never without you produced the bill.

Baker—l never received money from you without a pro-
per bill.
Witness—l have paid you money when I have received
it in my own name.

Mr. Jewitt—Name one person who has paid you, under
such circumstances.
Witness—Mr. Martineau, a member of the corps.
Baker—A precisely similar case to the present.
Witness—l know you say so, but 1 have paid you and
often have tried to bring it to your mind.
Mr. Jewitt—Name another.
Witness—Mr. Nash.

Baker—Will you swear you gave Nash a receipt in your
own name?

Witness—No. Sometimes Reilly signed the bills. I
cannot mention any other but Martineau.

Baker—Did I ever give you authority to sign for the
firm ?

Witness—Never. You owo me commission, and I hold
the money to pay myself.
His Honour—You had not any right to do so. If you

have any claim upon the plaintiff for commission you
should sue him, but you have no right to hold the money.
Baker (to the wituesB)—For what did you leave the corps?
Witness—Never mind.

His Honour—That will do. It is perfectly clear that
the defendant is liable. He has paid the wrong person,
and an unauthorised agent. _ _

Mr, Jewitt —My client having paid the money a long
,ime ago, considered that he was bound, upon public grounds,
,o defend the case, and ascertain the facts.

His Honour—There is no imputation upon your client,
who has aoted perfectly fair throughout. He can reco-
ver from the Sergeant. The verdict now will be for the
plaintiff.

POLICE iNTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

THAMES.

£":c"7"'' --803113,ERY.—Thoulas Alcock,
a dissipated-looking man, about 40 years of age, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing £lO.

Eliza Fletcher, a married woman, said she was em-
ployed at the Thames Plate Glass Company's Works, and
her husband was a seamen, and serving in the fleet in
China. On Friday afternoon last she received a remit-
tance of £2O from her husband, at Hong Kong. The pri-
ssner's wife knew she had received the money, and sail
"what you don't want at present you had better give me to
mind, for the lock of your door is a very defective one."
She handed £lO of the money to Mrs. Alcock, and that
person promised to take particular care of it. She ex-
pended the remainder of the money in necessaries, and
the payment of her debts. On Saturday after-
noon she asked the prisoner's wife for the £lO,
and she said her husband had taken it from her. She went
in search of the prisoner, and found him at the Crown
public-house, in Blackwell, and asked him for her money.
He said he had not got it. She asked where it was, and
what he had done with 'it, and he became very abusive,
and said that was best known to himself.
A young woman named Simpson, the niece of the last
witness, said that she lived with her aunt at No. 4, Ann's-
place, Orchard-house, Poplar, and saw the prisoner take
the money from his wife.
James Stock, a police constable, No. 184 K, said that
when he took the prisoner into custody he said he had lost
£8 of Mrs. Fletcher's money.

The prisoner said that a girl he fell in with cut his
pocket and took the money away from him, and he could
not help it.
Mr. Woolrych—You had no business with the poor
woman's money at all.
The Prisoner—My wife gave it to me.
Mr. Woolrych asked the prosecutrix why she entrusted
the money to the prisoner's wife.
Mrs. Fletcher—The prisoner is my landlord, and I
thought his wife would take care of the money. His own
child saw him take the gold out of a purse and throw the
purse down.
Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner had better find the
money and restore it to the poor woman. He should for
the present remand the prisoner until Monday nps.c.
The prisoner, who is a subs-cutter, said ho did not care,
and left the dock in the most unconcerned manner.
London, England, 1861-04-22

portions of States are so, and in the western and
northern portions of the State of New York there
is a large agricultural population, which, with the
aid of Government, would very speedily suppress
any attempt to secede on the part of the city, if
men are to be believed who say they know the cir-
cumstances 'of the case. Virginia is -claimed by
both sides, but accounts this morning are to the
effect that the Secessionists have been defeated on a
division by a vote of two to one in favour of the
Union ; and, although General Houston appears to
be forced to accept the situation for a time, there
are many who think he will organise a strong re-
action against the dominant Secessionists.
Whatever may be the result of all these diverse
actions, the Great Republic is gone. The shape of
the fragments is not yet determined any more than
their fate, They may reunite, but the cohesion
can never be perfect. The ship of the State was
hnilt of too many " platforms ;" there were too
many officers on board, perils ps the principles of
construction were erroneous, the rigid cast-iron
old constitution guns burst violently when tried
with new projectiles—any way those who adhere
with most devotion to the vessel admit that it is

parted right amidships, and that its prestige has
vanished. The more desperate of these would
gladly see an enemy, or go out of their way to find
one, in the hope of a common bond of union being
discovered in a common animosity and danger.
The naval preparations, of which you will hear a
good deal, are intended to make good existing
deficiencies and to meet contingencies. At any other
time the action of Spain in St. Domingo would
create a cry for war. Now all the Federal Govern-
ment can do is to demand and receive explanations.
In reply to Mr. Seward's inquiries, the Spanish
Minister has possibly stated that the recent events
in St, Domingo have been caused by the acts and
threats of Hayti, which forced the Dominicans to
call in the aid and claim the protection of Spain.
There have been several attempts from time to time
to induce France to assume the dominion of its for-
mer possession, and it is not unlikely that an excel-
lent understanding exists between the Court of
Madrid and the Emperor Napoleon in reference to
the subject. The report that the Mexicans have
made, or contemplate making, an attack on Texas,
is scarcely worthy of credence.

As to the Morrill tariff, I can only repeat what I
have already said. It must be borne till results
show that it cannot be persisted in. Then only
will it be repealed or modified. The theory of the
Government is, that the United States always takes
far more from Europe than it can pay for. "If the
revenue is collected there is no ground of com-
plaint, The English and French manufacturer will
be satisfied, as well as the Northern population. If
the revenueis not collected, then the tariff must be
repealed, and that will be done within the year if
the mischief is serious." Birmingham, Wolver-
hampton, and Manchester must make the best they
can out of the doctrine.

WOOL.

The market for all kinds of English wool is still devoid
of animation ; nevertheless, prices continue to be well sup-
ported. In the demand for colonial and foreign parcels,
rather a better feeling has been observed, and, in some
instances, the quotations have shown a tendency to im-
prove. Last week's imports were 5,338 bales from Sydney,
and 1,313 from Algoa Bay.

IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF THE VOLUNTEER RIFLE

CORPS.-REILLY V. FRINNEEY.

This was an action to recover £5 35., the value of a rifle
supplied to defendant, who is a member of the 4th Surrey
Rifles. _

Mr. Jewitt, of Leadenhall •street, appeared for the de-
fendant, and pleaded payment.
John Baker said he was manager to the plaintiff, who is
an ironmonger carrying on business in Oxford-street. In
October, 1859, a rifle was supplied to defendant. The
price was £5 35., which had not been paid. There was a
contract with the regiment, but witness had not brought it.
By Mr. Jewitt--Knows a person_ named Sergeant
Doughty.
Mr. Jewitt (handing the witness a document)—Now read
that. What is it ?
Witness—lt is a receipt signed by the sergeant
g
acknowledging payment of the money for this rifle.
Mr. Jewitt—And signed for Reilly ?
Witness—Yes, but he had no authority from our firm to
sign for us or to receive money on our account. He is not
in our employ, neither is he our agent. I believe he was

A POLISR REFUGEE CHARGED WITH THREATENING
TO CUT HIS WIFE'S THROAT.—Joseph Jesnoski, a Polish
refugee, by trade a bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Selfe
with threatening to cut his wife's throat.
The wife, having stated that the prisoner had several
times threatened to cut her throat and his own afterwards,
that he had beaten her children several times, and that he
had beaten her black and blue and struck her in the eye,
handed in the following certificate :
This is to certify that Joseph Jesnoski, a Polish refugee,
residing at 24, Dudley-street, is unfit to take care of him-
self, and is dangerous to others. T gave a certificate to this
effect seven weeks ago, when he was in St. Giles's Work-
house. He remained there some weeks, but was sent out,
his wife tells me, because he was not sufficiently insane.
Trios. YOUNG, Government Medical Officer to
the Polish Emigration Society.
8, Sackville-street.
Mr. Selfe—lf the man is a lunatic, this is not the proper
place to bring him to. (To the prisoner)—Your wife says
you threaten to cut her throat ?
Prisoner—When ? I know nothing about it.
Mr. Selfe—l think the wife wishes to get rid of the
burthen of him.
' '

The wife—He has a pension from Government, and that
will go to keep him.
A constable having stated that he had seen the prisoner
going about for weeks as early as 5 o'clock in the morning,
dancing and kicking about, and that the other lodger s in the
house were frightened of him owing to his violence,
Mr. Selfe said he knew Mr. Bennett as a very human
man, and did not think he would send a man out of the
house if he was insane.

The wife said he had done no work for three months,
and he was very spiteful and dangerous.
Mr. Selfe—lt is a very strong measure to deprive a man
of his liberty because he is a little queer. I will take his
own bail in £lO, but if he behaves unruly again he will go
to prison for three months,

RONEY MARKET 4WD CIT


CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The improvement in the weather, and the
greater ease in the general Money Market, have
caused a more cheerful feeling in the various manu-
facturing districts during the past week. At
Leeds a fair business has been done in light fabrics
far the summer demand. Business at Manchester
bas
i. also shown symptoms of revival, particularly
I°r goods suitable to the India markets, while at
Bradford, Huddersfield, and Rochdale, moderate
transaotions have taken place in light fancy cloths,
and a decided improvement has occurred in the
hosiery and lace department at Leicester and Not-
tingham. In the hardware districts there is no
Material alteration to notice, although in a few in-
stances. a more buoyant tone has prevailed. At
Birmingham there has been a slight improvement
in the demand for home requirements ; and at Shef-
!eld, Walsall, and Wolverhampton the receipt of a
few continental orders has given increased employ-
Inept to the operatives ; a large number of whom,
11°Nvever, are still only working " shorttime."
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday,
business was not quite so active, but prices were
firm. The sales were about 8,000 bales.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England on Saturday.
At the forthcoming meeting of the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company the usual dividend of £2
per share will be proposed.
The Discount Market continues in a quiescent
state, the inquiry for commercial purposes being
.417 moderate, while the absorption for joint stock
enterprise and speculative adventure is unusually
limited. There is an abundant supply of money,
and as the quantity of bills brought forward is
small, the rates, which are influenced by compe-
tition, still show a downward tendency, owing,
however, to the augmented demand for silver on
astern account, and the possibility of a reflux of
gold to the Continent. A further decline in the
Bank of England minimum quotation is less confi-
dently spoken of, although large supplies of specie
are expected from Australia, the West Indies, &c.,
Which will probably be sufficient to meet the ex-
port-demands. _ _

The' half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Bank
Corporation has been held to-day, at which the re-
Port was adopted, and a dividend of 5 per cent.,
together with a bonus of 4 per cent. was declared,
Making a total distribution of 16 per cents. for the
Past year.
There has not been much animation to-day in the
Market for Public Securities, but, owing to some
speculative purchases Consols have risen to 92 for
transfer, and to 92 921 for the account. Business,
however, continues very dull. The New Threes
and the Reduced remain at 901 Bank Stock
has advanced to 234. India 5 per Cent. Loan is
steady at 1011 21-; ditto 4 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper has improved to 781,-; ditto 5 per Cent. to
94h and Exchequer Bills 2s. dis. to ls. prem.,
Showing no alteration.

THE HUMAN AND GRIZZLY BEARS.

One evening, when we were sitting yarning at a store, a
giant western hunter stalked into the room, and having
called for his particular vanity, and swallowed it at a gulp,
he fixed a new plug and began to whittle carelessly. Some
one observed to him that his hands and clothes were covered
with blood, to which he coolly replied, Wal now I Yes I
deu calculate they air; and if you'd had the same tall fight
with an almighty big bar, it mout ha' been the colour of your
blood we'd see, old hoss, instead of thn bar's.'
Ah I you've got the paws in your pockets for supper, of
course,' said another, who doubted him.
No, I haent, 'coon,' replied the hunter; but if you'll
come teu hum, I'll cook them, and you may have the skin
tett for fifty dollars ; and darned fine fur it is. Waugh 1'
But tell us where it is,' was the general inquiry.
The old hunter, who was picking his teeth with his
bowie-knife at the time, just withdrew it, and stabbed the
air in the direction of the door, and then alternately
amu-ed himself with his ivories and the piece of wood he
was whittling..
We went out to see, and sure enough at his saddle-bow
hung one of the largest and finest skins I had ever seen.
And this man had fought him single-handed, and by night,
too, skinned him, and carried off the trophy, without more
ado than if he had shot a 'coon, or worried a buck-rat.

But there are many instances of persons being
killed when coming on a bear unawares. In the
case related the bear had no doubt been severely,
if not mortally, wounded by the hunter's rifle beftge
the contest commenced,,and he was able to despatch
it with his, knife without much danger. In the
following case, however, the bear had all the
advantages— •

MR. HAVEN'S CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY.-012
Thursday (says the:Chelmsford Chronicle) Mr. W. S•
Havens, the magistrate, attended before the borough magis-
trates at the Town Hall; present, J. F. Bishop, Esq., in
the chair : J. Savill, J. A. Tabor, and P. M. Duncan,
Esqs., in reference to the application made by Mr. Met-
calfe, barrister-at-law, on his behalf, at the recent sitting of
the borough magistrates, when the eight county magistratea
and clerk (Mr. Howard) were charged with conspiracy,
that Mr. Havens should be bound over to prosecute the
defendants at the ensuing assizes. The depositions were
read over and signed, and Mr. Havens was formally bound
over to prosecute.

[An yr.. it lISEMEN -Holloway'ss Ointment.--In bad
legs, ulcers, scrofulous sores, and glandular swellings, this
Ointment operates very gently, but very surely, and with
a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be rubbed into
the parts affected, after they have been fomented with luke-
warm water. The purifying and curative powers of this
marvellous unguent have never been disputed by any one
who has given it a fair trial. It contains not a particle of
any substance of a noxious nature, nor is there a case on
record in which it has done the slightest harm • while
there are authentic reports of innumerable cures effected by
it in all countries. It is as mild in its action as it is
powerful and beneficial in its effects.

moral tale of the Dean of Badajos, or a page of
Athenteus on cups, or Eustathius on Homer." Nu-
merous anecdotes are given in illustration of this
faculty, as well as many others showing the rever-
ence in which his name and opinion were held by
the learned men of the clay. Other tales there are
of his private habits, less pleasant to dwell on, tell-
ing of his consuming a whole bottle of spirits of
wine in mistake for gin, of breakfasting with a lady
and taking six pots of porter, and similar tales.
His love of late hours was well known and dreaded
among his friends, who would lay plans to get rid
of him at a reasonable time. Once Horne Tooke
invited him, knowing that he had been up all the
night before. This, however, made no difference ;
Parson set up the second night until sunrise. Truly
as his biographer observes, " Great as were Porson's
deviations from the even tenor of sobriety, great as
were his disagreements with the social habits of the
generality of mankind, great also must have been
his merit, which with such aberrations and eccen-
tricities, secured him not only the praise but the
regard of all men of learning and intellect that had
intercourse with him. Whoever knew Richard
Porson felt that he knew a man of high and noble
mind, who, with all his irregularities, and all his
inclination to sarcasm and jest, had a sincere love
of truth and honesty, and who, with an utter
contempt for pretence and presumption was ever
ready to do justice to genuine worth." Mr. Watson
has compiled a most interesting volume, interesting
to the general reader of cultivated taste, as well•as
to the scholar, wholcan better appreciate the classic
portion. The life of so celebrated a man deserves
to be written as a testimony to the greatness of his
intellectual faculties, though the sentiment of the
reader who rises from its perusal must be a double
regret—that the first Grecian scholar of his age
should have left so little tangible proof of his pre-
eminence, and that this honest and high-minded
man should have added another:tothe:mournfal list
of those whose mental faculties have failed to coun-
terbalance their moral weakness.

GRAIN IMPORTATIONS.

The statistics of our grain im;ortations since the
beginning of the year show the
remarkable
harvest
e xmt eu ns t
at t
to which the failure of last
have been underrated, while year'ste sametieme the
comparative ease with which they have b
paid
for demonstrates how intrinsically slight meusnt have
been the effect of the American crisis in disturbing
our commerce or causing pressure in our money-
market. It may be estimated that from the Ist of
January to the present time we have disbursed
about £20,000,000f0r wheat,flour, and other foreign
grain, against a total of little more than £5,000,000
in the corresponding period of 1860, and when
it is borne in mind that in the same interval
we have supplied India with a direct loan of
£3,000,000, and that the national expenditure has
been on the highest scale, the fact that the stock
of bullion in the Bank of England, even accord-
ing to the unfavourable statement published last
evening, is still exactly equal to the average
amount held in the month of January will appear
no less striking than satisfactory. It is evident,
indeed, that but for the drain for public works in
India, which has now been kept up for so many
years, the discount market would probably have
been free from extraordinary pressure. Next to the
total quantity and value of our grain imposts the
question of most importance is as to the proportion
in which these supplies have been furnished to us
from the respective countries of the world. In this
respect the chief change has, of course, been in the
quantities from America and France.

The Stade dues are at an end at last. Govern-
ment has received intimation that these obstructions to
commerce, which have engaged the attention of so many
Parliaments, and engrossed the labours of successive Ad-
ministratisns are at last about to cease. No more dues will
be levied after the Ist of July next.
THE CHARGE OF FRAUD AT MANCHESTER.-011
Saturday, before the Manchester city magistrates, the de-

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL.

Lord CIIELMSFORD presented a petition from Man.
chester praying the house to pass the bill as amended.

The house then went into committee on the bill.

Lord CHELMSFORD had a clause to propose, but after
a short conversation, it was agreed to proceed with the bill
at once. The noble and learned lord said it appeared to
him that the bill had come from the select committee very
greatly improved. But one object occupied the
minds of the committee, and that was to render the bill as
complete and satisfactory as possible. The mercantile
community might be divided into two different classes, dif-
fering in views upon the policy to be pursued with re gard
to the law of bankruptcy.

the life of the King, as well as the exists.] ice of a
secret society, whose efforts would tend •to over•

It has been, we are informed, determined to send
three regiments of infantry and a sufficient amount of
artillery and munitions of war to reinforce the garrisons in
British North America. These garrisons had been so
reduced of late years as scarcely to afford sentries enough
for the protection of the public buildings at the most im-
portant military posts, and, as their weakness seemed even
to invite attack, it has been thought desirable to place them
in a position to command resrect from any irregular body
