TWO IRISH LAW CAMS.

A trial in which an interesting point was raised was
held at the Dundalk Assizes. John F. Nugent, a Fenian
prisoner who had been arrested under the Habeas Corpus
Suspension Act, was indicted for having unlawfully
escaped from justice. The prisoner jumped out of
window while in charge of the police in a room in
Drogheda, and for a long time eluded pursuit. It appeared
in evidence that the warrant under which he had been
arrested bore the signature of only one of the three Lords
Justices who had been sworn in during the absence of the
Lord-Lieutenant, and his counsel contended that it ought
to have been signed by all the Lords Justices, or a sate-
ment made on the face of the document that it was signed
by only one in the unavoidable absence of the others.
Judge Battersby overruled the objection, but reserved the
points. The prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to one
month's imprisonment.

A libel case, arising out of the relations of landlord and
tenants has occupied the attention of the Court of queen's
Bench for the last three days, and taxed the ability of a
numerous bar. It vas an action instituted by a carpenter
and builder in Dublin against the publisher of the Wexford
People newspaper for an article reflecting on the plaintiff's
conduct. The words complained of are, "If our story be
false, we have libelled an innocent man. If it be true,
who is Mr. Hogan ? Is he a creature whose soul is in his
pocket ? Is he the carpenter of yesterday—the little
tyrant of to-day ?" The defence pleaded was a justifica-
tion. The plaintiff had purchased a piece of land in the
Landed Estates Court for £1,050, as a co mmercial specu-
lation, and conceiving that it was let at too low a
rent and kept in bad condition, he proposed to
give leases at an advanced rent. The priest of the
parish complained of his raising the rents, and the rev.
gentleman's interference was resented by the plaintiff as
unwarrantable. He allowed the tenants some months to
consider the matter, and not hearing from them he served
notices to quit. This brought down upon him the censure
of the People, which denornced him as " a grinder of the
faces of the poor," and used other strong language. Some
of the tenants came up to Dublin to remonstrate with
him, and complained that he received them very coldly,
and kept them there waiting in his yard. Under these
circumstances the trial excited a good deal of interest. It

terminated in a disagreement of the jury. Eleven, it is
said, were for giving a farthing damages, and one dissen-
tient wanted to find for the defendant.

SOUTH DEVON.

The report of the directors states that the revenue
of the half-year ended the 31st of December
amounted to £123,252 as compared with £122,395
in the same half of 1866. The pleasure traffic was
checked by the long continued commercial depres-
sion, and by the French Exhibition. The balance
of disposable revenue was £40,355, and after leak-
ing due provision for preference and other charges,
the payment of a dividend at the rate of £3 per
cent. per annum on the ordinary stock was recom-
mended for the past half-year, leaving a balance of
£416. The total expenditure on capital account
for the half-year was ~£8,466. The debentures
which had fallen due for the half-year had been re-
newed or replaced by others at the average rate of
4 12s. per cent. The capital account showed that
£2,921,596 had been expended, leaving a balance
against the company of £139,860. The revenue
account for the half-year showed that £123,252
had been received, and £53,627 expended, leaving a
balance of £69,625.

COURT OF COMMON CO UNCIL.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council
was held at Guildhall for the dispatch of business,
the Lord Mayor presiding.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF POLICE.
The Town Clerk read a communication, addressed
to the Lord Mayor by Colonel Fraser, the City
commissioner of police, stating circumstances con-
nected with the duties of his office and the remune-
ration he received. He said he had held his present
appointment for five years, and his official income
was less in amount by fully one-third than that en-
joyed by his immediate predecessor. Since he suc-
ceeded to the office all the duties attaching to it had
steadily and largely increased, and many of the
additional duties had been imposed upon him by
Acts of Parliament. The salary of every individual
of the force had been increased with the exception
of that of the commissioner, and he invited the con-
sideration of the Court upon the subject.
Upon the motion of Mr. Alderman STONE, the
subject was referred to the police committee.
Mr. BONNEWELL took OCCaSiOn to protest against
what he called the continuous applications of officers
of the corporation for increase of salary, remarking
that at the last court a capital sum of £ll,OOO was
voted in the increase of salaries and in largesses.

rected to press the Spanish Government for a settlement
of the claim, and for the present no further stops could be
taken.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1868.

have access to the source of Sir C. Barry's work,
and the conception which—even if not delineated
in Sir Charles's design by my father himself—
guided his pencil. If this can be proved to be a de-
lusion, I shall be the first to acknowledge my error
and the right of my opponents.

It is unquestionable, on the authority of Mr. Wolfe
(p. 24), that my father, receiving from Sir C. Barry
the requisite dimensions and explanations of his
views and style, was left to himself to prepare, and
did " prepare, a complete set of drawings, or rather
of rough but masterly sketches in pencil, showing
on a large scale the details of every part of the
building, inside and out." He also " made several
drawings, mostly perspective views of the important
parts of the interior, such as the Houses of Lords
and Commons, the royal entrance and staircase, and
others." Subsequently he made, as Sir Charles's
letter and my father's diaries show, a vast collection
of drawings, enumerated in my pamphlet (p. 30) ;
" less than 200 in number," Mr. E. M. Barry says
(p. 99). In my fathet's letter to Sir Charles from
Amiens he says :—" There will be upwards of 1,000
detail drawings of ornaments (to make) for the
carvers in the House of Lords alone." And yet it
appears that out of the 5,000 drawings still
iu existence, only 70, at last, after many em-
phatic denials that such was ever the case, ac-
knowledged to be my father's, remain, and these
are for "internal fittings for the House of
Lords ;" so that every architectural drawing made
by my father has been destroyed. If I may
judge from Dr. Barry's omission of all reference to
Sir Charles's diaries, iu explanation of the entries
iu my father's pocket-book during the latter part of
1835, and of Mr. Wolfe's silence respecting the
existence and receipt of the drawings from Salis-
bury, during the same period of time, not only were
the drawings themselves entirely destroyed, but
every trace of a correspondence is lost, and not tue
slightest record of these transactions remains. It
certainly appears beyond measure unaccountable
that an amount of work which involved such " an
excess of application" as to " injure" my father's
" health" (vide Sir C. Barry's letter to my father,
p. 26 of my pamphlet), and of which no expressions
of praise and satisfaction on Sir Charles's part seem
too great, should have proved so utterly useless,
that they were simply consigned to destruction,
except there was a motive for it; and yet, after
reaching the secret office, they vanish off the face
' of the earth.

11/fR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
INA. Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This. method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

MARKETS—(2 his Day.)

CORN.

The trade continues firm, and the demand for floating
cargoes of wheat on Continental account gives additional
stability to prices.
Tho reports from the country markets prove generally
highor.

At Mark-lane this morning there was a moderate at-
tendance, and a firm tone prevailed, although the demand
was not active.

English wheat was taken off slowly at fully tho terms
of Monday last.

Foreign wheat held with increasing firmness, the num-
ber of cargoes sold from port of call for the continent
giving confidence to holders

Flour in steady reluest at late rates for both English
and foreign.
Malt unaltered in value.

Barley, Boans, and Peas remain steady in value, with a
moderato demand.

Oats rather dearer on the week.

NEWTGATE AND LEADEN TIALL.
MEAT.— T he weather having become warmer the demand
in the dead meat market has diminished, and for prime
qualities of mutton the advance established in the early
part of the week has beon lost.

English hops has ruled, during the present week, rather

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Feb. 20.7—The rapidity with which
cotton has risen lately at Liverpool and in London,
under the influence of what appears to be an almost
unprecedented speculation, is astounding to those
engaged in manufactures. The price of middling
Orleans little more than a month ago was 7d., and
to-day sales are quoted at 100. per lb., with a
general belief that it will go up to 12d. The move-
ment is almost paralyzing trade here. Manufac-
turers endeavour to follow as well as they can, but
are, in fact, unable to get nearer than 9d. per piece
of prices which would cover the cost of the raw ma-
terial. There is, therefore, very little bona fide
business practicable. The advises from India are
more encouraging. Not only are prices advancing,
but at Kurrachee and some other markets stocks of
Manchester goods were nearly sold out. There is
a good deal of speculation here in manufactures, as
well as in cotton at Liverpool.

BRADFORD, 20th.—There was a steady business
done in wool this morning, with an advancing
tendency in quotations. Many were disposed to
hold aloof, in consequence of there being a large
public sale of wool during the afternoon by Messrs.
Louis and Son. Though there has been an im-
provement in the wool trade during the past month,
yet the advance in quotations has been very slow.
The attendance at Messrs. Louis and Son's sale was
not so large as at the wool sale of Messrs. Towns-
end a month ago, and, though very good prices were
realised for very good lots, yet the bidding on the
whole wer.t off slowly. There was a brisk business
done, for the most part on speculation, in worsted
yarns, for both home and export. Spinners gene-
rally are seeking higher rates, but they find diffi-
culty in effecting an advance. In some sorts, such
as low 30's, an advance has been obtained, and the
general tendency is upward. There has been a fair
business done in pieces. Some merchants have
placed seine contracts in plain goods, and some.
business has also been done for America and for
France. Heavy goods, suitable for the Eastern
markets, are in great demand at higher rates. The
upward tendency of cotton warps has the effect of
9140 kin business,

In reply to Mr. OTWAY.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the terms of tho loan to which
he had referred, should it be decided upon, would be sub-
mitted to the house in the first instance.
TIIE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

Mr. D. GRIFFITHS hoped he might be excused re-
ferring to the curt answer which the right hon. gen-
tleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had given to the
hon. gentleman opposite. Ile should like to know
whether it was the £2,000,000 or the £1,000,000 which
had not been exceeded. It was. important the house
should know.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
thought his former answer was plain and complete, and he
now could only say that the general estimate he had
placed before the -house had not been exceeded.

LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS (LIMITED).

The report of the directors states that the total
liabilities of the company on the 31st of December
last amounted to £35,093. The balance of general
reserve fund was now £17,648, and the leases and
buildings reserve fund amounted to £23,778, mak-
ing together £41,426. The receipts of the company
during the half-year amounted to £290,806, against
£306,982 for the same period in 1866, showing a
decrease of £16,176. The number of passengers
carried in the half-year was £20,757,127, and for
the corresponding period in 1866, 22,328,609, show-
ing a decrease of 1,571,482 passengers. This de-
crease of traffic was attributable partly to the ob-
struction of one of the leading thoroughfares by
the works of the Holborn Viaduct, but more parti-
cularly to the straitened circumstances of the middle
and lower classes, occasioned by the recent finan-
cial crisis, the consequent stoppage of business,
especially at the east end of the metropolis, and by
the high prices of provisions. The directors be-
lieved that on the completion of the Holborn Viaduct
the traffic on the Holborn route, over which 150
of the company's omnibuses travelled, would be
very considerably increased, as it would materially
shorten the time occupied on the journey to and
from the city. The average number of omnibuses
working on week days in 1867 was 602, against
625 in 1866 ; and on Sundays 472, against 496 in
1866. The average traffic receipts per omnibus per
week was £lB Is. 64d., against £lB Bs. sd. in 1866.
The average fare per passenger was 3.30 d., against
3.25 d. in 1866. The average earnings per mile run
was 11.18 d., against 11.26 d. in 1866 ; and the total
number of miles run was 6,135,972 in 1867, against
6,446,476 in 1866. The directors recommended
that for the past half-year the dividend should be
at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum, or ls. per
share, free of income-tax, payable on the 10th of
March. This would require the balance of profit,
£5,129, together with £2,297 from the reserve
fund, leaving a balance to the credit of that.fund
of £15,350.
