GROUNDLESS CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—
James Smith, a labourer, was charged with killing
and slaying William Taylor.
George Jones, 1 B, said that he went last night
to prisoner's abode in Calthorpe-place, Chelsea,
and told him he apprehended him for violently as-
saulting 'William Turner, then lying dangerously
ill in St. George's Rospital, and since dead. Pri-
soner said he should not have done it had not Tur -
ner taken up a brick to him and kicked him on
the legs.

Richard Cotten'', surgery man at the hospital,
proved that Turner was brought in last Sunday
night. He had some marks on the head as if
kicked about. lie died last night.
Richard Stevens, 43, Regent-street, Westminster,
said that prisoner and the dead man had both
been in Messrs. Corbett's employ. On Thursday,
he 14th of January, was discharged in the
middle of the day. Shortly after this he came
up to prisoner with a brick which he had
just picked up. He was going to throw it at the
prisoner when it was taken out of his hand. He

rau at prisoner, and in a struggle they both fell.
Taylor kicked him, and they struck each other.
Taylor had been drinking. The foreman had dis-
charged Taylor, not the prisoner, who overlooked
ome of the men.

Prisoner was liberated on his own recoguisances
to appear in a week.

THANES.

A MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG PUSEYITE. —Thomas
Gould, aged 12 years, choir boy at the High
Ritualistic Church of St. Peter's, Old Grave-lane,
presided over by the Rev. Mr. Lowder, was brought
before Mr. Paget charged with unlawfully throwing
stones in a public thoroughfare.

Martin Ryan, a police-constable No. 281 K, said
that he saw the prisoner throw two stones over the
London Dock wall in Tent-street on his way to
church on the preceding night.

An officer of the London Dock Company said
that a great many panes of glass had been broken
in the skylights of the warehouse i❑ the dock by
the dangerous and mischievous practice of boys
hurling stones over the dock walls. Fifty were
broken in two days last week, and 15 more on
Saturday. He bad been deputed by Mr. Randall,
the superintendent of the dock, to call the magis-
trate's earnest attention to a most expensive and
serious evil.

Mrs. Gould, the mother of the boy, said the dock
wall was too high for her son to throw a stone over
it. Her boy was on his way to church when he was
taken into custody.

Mr. Paget—Going to church. It was not Sun-
day evening.
Mrs. Gould—lle goes to church every evening to

sing.
A Voice at the back of the Court—" And to
break windows on the way to the Puseyite
Church."
A Clergyman, of St. Peter's Church, near the
London Dock, said the prisoner was. one of the boys
in his choir, and an excellent boy.
Mr. Paget asked the height of the Dock wall, and
Inspector Gee, of the K division, said that it was
not more than 25 feet. Numerous complaints had
been made of boys throwing stones over the Lon-
don Dock wall. An immense amount of injury had
been done.
Mr. Paget deprecated the mischievousness of
boys who were continually throwing stones. Ile
was satisfied the prisoner had thrown stones over
the wall, and the Dock Company had a right to
complain of the great damage done to their pro-
perty. The destruction of glass had been lament-
able. He fined the prisoner 10s., and, in default,
seven days' imprisonment.
THE THIEF AND RECEIVER.—Henry Llwrence,
the elder, and Henry Lawrence, the younger, were
brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a
silver watch, and a money box containing silver
monies, from the dwelling house of Mr. Frederick
Norris in Wapping.
The younger prisoner was errand boy to the pro-
secutor. On Sunday last Mr. Norris missed a
watch, which was hanging on to a nail in his bed-
room. He missed a child's money-box containing
Gs. at the same time. Hs gave immediate informa-
tion to the police, and an account of the robbery
and description of the watch was left with every
pawnbroker. On the preceding day the elder pri-
soner offered the stolen watch in pawn at the shop
of Mr. Levy in Sbadwell, and it was stopped. The
prisoner was detained, and he said "The watch is
one which my son picked up in Wapping.
The boy was then taken into custody by
Cornelius Sutton, a police-constable, No. 231,
to whom he said that the money box only con-
tained 4s. Bd., and that he broke it open, took the
money out, and threw the box away down an old
sewer in Wapping. He also said that he took bis
master's watch at the same time as the money box.
The younger prisoner made no defence. the
elder one said, " I did not take the watch with a
knowledge it was stolen. I did not come by it
wrongfully. My son told me he picked it up. That
is all I have to say."
Mr. Paget committed both prisoners for trial.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The great flower show of Oral
season opened to-day at half-past twelve. It is described
as the best show everseen at the Palace, the warm weather,
,
of the last few weeks having had a most beneficial effe°;
upon the plants exhibited. The general arrangement °`,

variation from the closing official prices of yesterday.
LThe fall of it which took place in Consols after regular
been in consequence of a slight relapse in Paris, has
Peen recovered, and they are steady, although there
Is no demand. The foreign speculative stocks are
pearly all stronger in tone. Brighton Railway stock
Is very gat. The contingency of the Chancery suit re-
ferred to in another paragraph has induced sales, while
Dll7,era purchase unwillingly.
The demand for money is perfectly inactive, and
the best bills are readily taken at to 11 per

The liquidators of the Royal Bank of Liverpool
(which supended payment in November, 1867) have
intimated that they are prepared to anticipate the pay-
nient of the promissory notes of the bank (which are
not due until the 23rd October next) subject to a
rebate of interest.

A special meeting of the Don Pedro North del
Rey Mining Company has been called for the Ist of
June, for the purpose of declaring an interim dividend
for the three months ending March 31st, of is Gd per
share, being at the rate of 42 per cent per annum.
The annual general meeting of the Chelsea Water
Works Company will be held on the 11th of June,
after which the meeting will be made special for the
Purpose of authorising the directors to raise a portion
of the new capital for the construction of additional
Works.

There were no gold operations at the Bank yester-
day. The £150,000 in sovereigns mentioned yesterday
as having been sent into the Bank from Egypt were
taken out on account of the Abyssinian expedition.
The error was made by one of the Bank official.
The Mobilier, Italian Credit in conjunction with
haversllanke connected with the Credit Foncier of Paris,
eagreed with the Italian Meridional Railway
.'oblpany for an issue of bonds bearing 8 per cent.
interest. The bonds are to be issued in Italy and
France only.
In order to provide for its further requirements on
capital account, the Marseilles Docks Company pro-
Poses either to issue 40,000 obligations which it was
authorised to create a few months since, or to sell
certainn„ surplus lands. Although the revenue of the
N7l,3lpany was somewhat affected last year by the pre-
ent commercial depression, it presents this year a
tendency to revive. Thus an increase of £5,600 was
indicated in the first three months of this year, as corn-
bared with the corresponding period of 1867.
The return of the Bank of France shows the stock
of
bullion to be £47,100,000, being an increase of
£720,000. The stagnation of trade is represented
u3r,a further decline of £960,000 in the discounts.
The next tenders for India Council bills will be re-
ceived on the 3rd June for £200,000.
The numbers are published of a series of the Five

THE INDEBTEDNESS OF TETE STATE OF NEW YORK.
—The State debt is over 951,000,000; the local indebted-
ness is about $80,000,000 more. The canal debts cover
$11,147,600, and the General Fund debt $5,000,000 more.
The present constitution has provided for the extinction
of these two items by setting apart from the canal revenues
$2,050,000, which will liquidate in 1868 the canal debt of
1816, and the General Fund debt in about four years
afterwards. The new canal debt in 1850 will be extin-
guished in 1868 by sinking fund, and at the same time the
debt of 1859 and the bounty State will also be paid by
direct taxation. Thus, under the present regulations, the
whole State debt should bo extinguished by the year 1879,
leaving us only our share of the national debt and the
county debt.—Albany Argus, April 27.
Au American paper nays the expansion of the
rails of a railroad 500 miles long in a hot summer day is
