The half-year's dividend on the Cuba Bonds due
to-day, will be paid at Messrs. Harman's, in Old Broad-
street. This is a stock that is seldom quoted; indeed, it is
but little known. Originally there was but 500,0001. capital,
and this is paying off half-yearly at par, at the rate of about
20,0001. a year. These Bonds are seldom if ever to be pur-
chased in the market ; the interest is 6 per cent , and the
dividends are paid with a psnctuality not exceeded by the
funds. The quotation is 96, but no sellers. The railway
throughout the whole island of Cuba is the source from which
these dividends arise, cud the traffic during the last three
years, it is said, has increased six-fold.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD cower.

The Court was occupied the etliole of the morning in try
ing a case of perjury, which presented no features of interest
except to the parties concerned.
NEW COURT.
(Before the COMSION Syr.EGEA:cr.)
Several cases of petty larceny, totally devoid of public in
terest, were disposed of during the morning.

MARYLEBONE,(THIS DAY.)
THE HAMPSTEAD MURDER.
'The approaches to this Court were beseiged, from an early
hour, by an immense crowd of anxious expectants, all wait-
ing, with a most persevering and commendable patience, to
get a glimpse of the prisoner. Inside the Court matters were
no better, for, though the personages were of a somewhat
more select class, they were not a whit more orderly than
those upon the outside, and it required the unremitting exer-
tions of the ushers to preserve something like order.
The night charges had been brought up at half-past eight
(Moe, and the regular business of the Court having been
disposed of by half-past eleven, a most intense interest,
deepening every ;2inute, prevailed among those present.
Among the gentlene.'n accommodated on the bench beside
Mg. Raiilinson were Mr. I•eng, his brother Magistrate, his
Highness the Duke of Bru:Zswick, Lord Montford, Mr.
Pepys, Mr. Partridge, &c.
Considerable delay took place in eonsequence of the ab-
sence of several of the inspectors, who were
engaged at the
Old Bailey Sessions.
At quarter past twelve the prisoner was brought into the
dock, and the Magistrate informed him that the evidence
taken on former occasions would be read over to him, but if
in the meantime he wished to say anything he might.
The prisoner said he wished for the attendance of the
waiter at the Swiss Cottage.
Mr. Raweixsox—Do you know his name ? Prisoner—T
do not, but he was at the inquest yesterday.
Inspector Gray said the person might be sent for, bat his
evidence, as it tended neither to criminate nor exculpate, had
not been taken.
Mr. Raavuxsox-.-Still, if the prisoner
wishes it, lot him be
sent for.
The evidence taken on the former day, and which has al-
ready appeared in The Sun, was then read over. The evi-
dence was that given by Edward Hilto, the baker; by Bal-
dock and Fletcher, the constables; bynr.Perry, the surgeon;
by Sarah Kitchener, and by Scotney, 21 F. The latter wit-
ness made a merely verbal correction in that part of his evi-
dence which related to the language used by the witness to
the prisoner on his first cap ttre
• mess added the further discoveries he had
Inspectors Partridge and Shackell were then sworn, an&
the latter al
made since the last adjonrnment from this Court, all of
which were detailed in onr yesterday's paper in the report of
the proceedings before the Coroner.
Inspector Haynes, who lad not been previously examined
at this office, then gave evidence in every particular the same
with that taken yesterday by the Coroner.
Inspectors Shackell and Haynes then requested permission
to leave, as they had to attend the Old Bailey.
Mr. RAWLINSON said that under these circumstances he
should adjourn the case till next Tuesday, but in the mean-
time lie should go on with the evidence ofthe witnesses there.
If the prisoner had any objection to this coarse, be was at
liberty to state it.
The prisoner lied not the slightest objection.
Inspector Patridge then gave similar evidence to that de
tailed yesterday.

CLERKENWELL.:-(THIS DAY.)
John Flinn was charged with assaulting police-constable
G 205. The prisoner was most riotous on the previous night
in St. John•street-road and created a large crowd. The
policeman interfered with him, whereupon the prisoner
knocked off his hat ; the officer asked him what be did that
for, and the prisoner immediately struck him a violent
blow on the head which knocked him down on the pavement,
causing his nose to bleed and breaking his hat. Police-
constable, 170 G, came up, and the prisoner was secured.
The prisoner denied the whole statement, said there was a
crowd, and that the complainant had taken the wrong man.
Mr. COMM; sentenced him to seven days' imprisonment in
the House of Correction, without the power of pleasing him-
self by the payment of a fine.
