Ow Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, Sir CBES/WELL CROMWELL expired at his own house. For the last fortnight he bad been confined to his room by the unfortunate accident which befel him in the Park, when his horse was knocked down and his own knee-cap was broken. It was natural to suppose that his death was in some way connected with the injuries he then sustaiued, but the fact is that the cause of death was heart disease. Like the late Lord CAMPBELL, who retired to rest in his usual spirits after entertaining a party at dinner, and was next morning found dead in his chair, Sir Carnsween Cnesswenx, whilst conven ing with his servant, suddenly complained of faintness, fell back, and expired. It seems to be a peculiarity of the present day that men retain their vigour longer than formerly. In the House of Commons Lord PAMIRS/570N is a continual source of surprise ; and in the House of Lords the apparently immortal vigour of such men as the Bishop of EXEIRR, Lord Baoconam, Lord LYNDHURST, and Lord ST. LEONARD'S, indeed, astonishing. The distinguished Judge whose loam the country now deplores was not the least remarkable amongst his contemporaries for his youthful appearance. It would have been difficult to persuade anyone who saw Sir CRESSWELL Cases wenn as he rode along Rotten-row, or even under the disguise of a full-bottomed wig, that he had already reached seventy ; nor was it possible to detect any trace of age in his manner of conduct ing the public business of his court. By his death, therefore, we have to lament the loss of a judge not only of pre-eminent ability, but still in the full vigour of his powers. Though Sir CROMWELL CRESSWELL had occupied a distinguished place at the bar and as a judge at the Court of Common Pleas, still it was by his conduct in the Divorce Court that he acquired his highest reputation. The curious matters which are brought before such tribunals require peculiar handling. The most delicate relations of domestic life forma constant subject of discussion. And it is obvious that in settling such domestic disputes no ordinary tact and acuteness are required. Much of the reputation of Sir Wiliam( Scorr was due to the manner in which he exercised this part of his judicial functions, and it is hardly too much to say that the reputation which Sir Cams wenn Cssaswm.i. leaves behind will scarcely be inferior to that of his illustrious predecessor. But, indeed, the functions of the late Judge were of a higher and more difficult character than any which had ever been exercised by a single judge in this country. Sir CRESSWELL CRESSWELL was the first judge who was clothed with the power of dis solving a marriage, and of arranging the thousand details which the dissolution of such a contract entails. The jurisdiction formerly exercised by the House of Lords was transferred to him, and for this purpose he had, in fact, to create a new procedure. This was no easy matter. The dimi nution of expense enormously increased the nam bee of applications for a dissolution of mar riage. Whilst, therefore ; on the one band, it was essential, if the new Court was to overtake the work and dispose of the eager , in a reasonable time, that the new procedure should not be tedious, it was on the other hand equally essential that all collusive attempts to obtain a divorce should be repressed. There can be no doubt that in the opinion of the suitors and of the bar Sir CROMWELL CRESWELL perfectly succeeded in accomplishing both objects. The business-like ease and rapidity with which the late Judge de spatched the ordinary business of the court excited universal admiration; whilst the patience and acuteness with which he tried every case, and the marvellous perspicuity which marked his addresses to a jury, were not less conspicuous. Indeed, the capacity of the late Judge for getting through work has been so generally recognised, that, although the question of his successor has often been discussed, there is no single individual whose selection would prove quite satisfactory. .And undoubtedly it will tax the ingenuity of the LORD CHANCRLLOR to find an efficient substitute. Sir CROSWELL Cassavrr.u. had most of the characteristics of a great judge. His knowledge of legal principles was extensive, and commanded the respect of those who practised before him. His quickness of apprehension was remarkable, and therefore repetition was discouraged. His manner, though aomewhataupercilioua, wiumotoirenaive, and wasadmirablycalculated tocontrol =erratic counsel and to recall him to the point at issue. His power of expression, whether in speech or writing, was not surpassed by any judge upon the bench. His moral courage and confidence in his own judgment were such as enabled him calmly to arrive ►t a conclusion, and to pronounce a judgment in ac cordance with it. If any proof were wanted of the ability with which the late Judge di.• i charged his functions, it would be found in the satisfaction of the suitors who came before him, and in the insignificant • number of his judgments which have been re versed. Indeed, as the full Divorce Court is made up by adding two common law judges, it is difficult to see how the ordinary business of the Common I*wConrtscould proceed if the full Divoroe Court were required to assemble more frequently than at present. This is not the place to speak of the private ' merits of this eminent man. But there are not few who owe much of the satisfaction of their pre. sent position to his considerate but disinterested kindness. IMIIIN. frbe Coun. OSBORNE, JOLT 30. The Queen and Princess of Wales drove out yesterday. F.arl "Neal arrived at Osborne yesterday, and had an audience of her Majesty. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yenta. day.

THE VISIT OT THE PRINCE ♦ND PRINCESS OF WALES TO YOR&SHIRL -With much malefaction we (Leeds ifereury) are enabled to announce that the inhabitants of Leeds will have an opportunity, though a very brief one, of seeing their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales on the occasion of their visit to this part of the country. The ori ginal arrangement was that the royal train, after leaving Halifax next Tuesday afternoon, should be brought on to the high level of the Great Northern Company, near the Holbeck junction, and that an engine should then be attached to convey their royal highnesses on to the North Eastern Company's line, en route fur Ripon, when, they are to be the gueste of Earl de Grey and Ripon, at Studley. A general desire having been expensed that an effort should be made to induce the Prince to enter the Central Station and afford the people of this borough an opportu nity of testifying their loyalty to himself and the Princess, the Mayor and the Towu Clerk on Wednesday and yeeter day wai•ed upon °social IC :lolly, to urge this alight deviation from the route brat adopted. In this they were succeafal, and a telegram was reosived yesterday afternoon in Leeds, stating that the royal party would enter the Central Station, and io all probability receive an address from the corporation. No answer has yet been forwarded to the spplicatioo from Harrogate that their royal highnesses will stop at that town. On Monday, a meeting of the Leeds Council is to be held to determine the course to be adopted and to make the necessary arrange ment,. The notice calling the meeting states that " • sum not exceeding 500 f." will be asked for " to carry into effect the resolutions passed by the council in reference to the presentation of an address to his royal highness." _ _ Prince Demidoff and suite have left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, for Paris.

Some noise has been made at the Bourse to-day about a pamphlet published by Dentn, entitled " L'Emperenr, la Pologne, et l'Europe," and which the vendor seeks to have it supposed is dictated by the Emperor. Some people tell you plumply that M. Mooquard is the author of it. Ido not believe this to be the cane, but, should it even be so, the pamphlet amounts to very little. It merely elaborates the idea clung to so convulsively by the government press that the diplomatic inter ference of the three powers in favour of Poland must necessarily succeed if they will remain united. Then if, after all, the obstinacy of Russia should bring about a diplomatic rupture, it caresses the idea of a little war, such as the Opinion Nationale has been talking of, in the hope of making war i palatable. It says that an Anglo-French and Swe , dish fleet might operate in the Baltic, while a Franco-Italian fleet appeared in the Black Sea, and that then there would be no necessity for war in the centre of Europe. The effect of this pamph let upon the Bourse was, however, as some sup pose, to neutralise the rise of I in Consols ; and the Bente, after several oscillations, left off with a fall of 15c. Other securities were rather better. The France says that Marshal Forey will come home from Marko in September, bringing with him a portion of his army, and that the corps of occupation remaining in the country will consist of not more than 15,000 men, to be commanded by General &mine. The dispositions of the inhabitants in favour of the French intervention, and of the " ideas" of which France is the champion, are averred to be so favourable that the above small body of troops will suffice, with the aid of the Mexican contingent, to "maintain order." More over, it is foreseen that in "some years" Mexico will be completely transformed by French adminis tration. Here, then, we find an assumption (a very rash one) that Mexico is entirely conquered, and an admission that the French occupation is in tended to last for "years." The original pretext that satisfaction for grievances suffered by French subjects was the only object of the war is quietly thrown over, and the wild schemes foreshadowed in M. Michel Che valier's pamphlet about the resuscitation of the Latin race on the American continent are prac tically avowed. The paragraph in the France finishes with one of those hypocritical formulae which journalists of December, 1851, were taught to write, and which I can never read without loathing. It says : We are assured that Mexico, appreciating the benefit of our intervention, offers to take upon herself from the month of October next the whole of the expenses of our army as well an those required by the new organisation which we have initiated. Why on earth cannot Marshal Forey, using a conqueror's right, raise such subsidies as be thinks desirable and possible to extract from the con quered without such sickening nonsense as this being talked about it I It is abhorrent to common sense, even upon the showing of the moat glowing French accounts, to suppose that there is as yet any body of natives in the country (not being partisans of Juarez) competent to make promises in the name of " Mexico." Even the farce of a plebiscite, which is intended to sanction whatever the French general may think himself strong enough to decree, has not yet been gone through. I do not believe, judging from known statistics, that there is tax-paying capacity enough in exhausted Mexico to provide funds for the French occupation. The idea is probably thrown out merely to pacify French grumblers at home. It is fancied, no doubt, that the expedition, unpo pular from the first, will be better liked if people can be persuaded that it costs nothing. Then, there are the famous mines of Sonora, which, if they turn out equal to their reputation, may after all, under French working, pay off all arrears . The Debate, notwithstanding the demoralising doctrine sanctioned by French custom even more than by coup d'ldat law, that it is unpatriotic to criticise any act of French soldiers in an enemy's country, ventures to accuse Mar shal Forey of barbarism when he threatens a "criminal prosecution" against all Mexicans who do not lay down their arms. Certainly, if any troops in the world were ever entitled to " bel ligerent" rights those of Juarez are so. To treat them as rebels when their only crime is that of serving the sole legal government in the country is an idea which could scarcely have occurred to any civilised general in the world. Some allowance, however, must be made for Marshal Foray's school. ing since he trod the road to promotion. It must be remembered that in December, 1851, he, being then but a colonel, treated as rebels the members of the National Assembly who met legally and peace fully to protest against the coup d'itat. By the way, the statement of the Courrier des Etats Unis that Marshal Forey had issued a decree of confiscation against the property of all Mexicans who would not submit to him has never been contradicted . The French press generally thought the news too monstrous to be credible, fcr, as they said, Mou raviefrs confiscations of the property of the Poles who have taken arms against their lawful govern ' ment are ten times over more excusable. Never theless the Courrier du Dimanehe said last Sunday that the Moniteur ought to give an official denial ; this challenge has not been accepted either by the Monitenv or any of its satellites. I confess Ido not see why, judging from Marshal Foray's ante cedents, he should scruple to confiscate the pro perty of men whom he so unjustifiably treats as rebels. 6111TIDAY. 011 ThU /KINDLY.

PETE AT TIPYRRE FARM. _._._ • 1 A deficiency in the bull' ding account of a country school was the occasion of a very pleasant day yesterday at Mr. Mechi's model farm. In connexion with the church of St. Luke, Tiptree Beath, • school has been recently erected, the contributions to which have fallen short of the actual expenditure by about 200/., and in order to make up the amount Mr. Mechi has placed his grounds near Bel vedon at the disposal of perilous interested in the object for the purpose of holding a fete and fancy bazaar. Yesterday was the opening day of the festivity, and in addition to the numbers who flocked to the grounds from the neighbouring villages, the morning trains from Landes took down • large cootribution to the gathering of visitors. There were the casual feature, of a fancy fair, but the most attractive feature in the amusements was the exhibi tion of Mr. Mechi's system of farming and its melte, which the time of the year and the state of the weather tiie show now to advan ii e. The plan of irrigation and the process of distrib liquid manure by steam pressure, which are adopted model farm, certainly give heavy Grope, and the pu b who take this opportunity of visiting the grounds have the means not only of judging of the weight of the produce, but of the methods by which that weight is attained, with the advantage of the fullest explanations from experienced guides. The wheat is in a sufficiently forward state for the reaping machine of Messrs. Burgess and Key to be exhibited in actual working, and throughout the day yesterday this was one of the chief points of attraction. In front of the hall • large marquee has been erected in which are plated stalls for the sale of needlework, toys, and other fancy goods, and there is also a " Wizard's Tent,' where a magical end ventriloquial entertainment takes place at intervals during the day, and for which there is considerable competition to obtain Beata Archery, Aunt Sally's and knock-'em-dovros are liberally patronised at twelve shots for • shilling, and wheels of fortune and lucky bags presided over by young ladies find so many speculators that one is led to believe that if it depended upon that one source to supply the deficiency there would be no cause to fear the result. The stalls are under the charge of Mrs. Ificid, Mrs. W. Baena, Mrs. Vivian, Mrs. Dimmitt, Mrs. Messom, Mrs. Cramer, Mrs. French, and Mrs. Causton, and the sales effected yesterday bore testimony to the energy of these ladies in the benevo lent work which they have taken upon themselves. The band of the West Essex Itifie Volunteers was in attendance, and played during the day appropriate selections.

ENTERTAIRMEJIT TO THE DUKE OF SALDANHA. The Portugal Iron and Coal Company yesterday availed themselves of the proems in this country of the Duke of &Kasha to invite hie excellency to • banquet, pro vided at the Star sad Garter Hotel, Richmond. YMr. G. F. Yovwo occupied the chair, and among the company were Count Bilbor, Sir S. M. Peto. M.P., Mr. B. Oliveira, Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. J. D. Powles, Mr. J. L. inalliven, Mr. J. Rivolta, Mr. T. Rumbold, Dr. Gorman, Mr. J. W. DO I& More, Mr. H. L Morgan (monetary), Sc. The CHATIDIAN, after proposing, in felicitous terms, the health. of "Her Majesty" and the "King of Portugal," gave in appropriate terms the toast of the evening, the health of the illustrious individual who bad honoured them with his presence. The Duke of SA LDANHA, in acknowledging the compliment. said that having entered the service of his country at the age of 14, its independence, and liberty, and prosperity had contently been before his mind. Equally devoted to the liberty of the people and the security of the govern ment, he had the unutterable consolation of seeing both so thoroughly united. and finding that the exertions hebad made to sane the one had strengthened the other. In the sixth year of his last administration • great impulse had been given to all measures that could develop the resources of the nation; and although since that time he had repeatedly refused to undertake the formation of • new cabinet, he could ensure them that he had not been idle in promoting his country's -velfare by every means in his power. (Hear, hear.) Referring to the Per. tngsl Iron and Coal Company, his excellency said he was perfectly satisfied that in such highly intelligent and re. erectable hands the company would be conducted with great usefulness, and he was highly gratified at seeing his name associated with the direction, to whom he felt it an honour to give all the aasistanoe in his power. The mineral riches of Portugal were immesee, beyond conception. Two of the greatest men Europe had produced had given their testi mony to that effect, one of them stating his conviction that if its mines were properly worked, Portugal would become one of the first nations in Europe. The formation of this company was an epoch in the history of the country. He was at the head of the government when the first discoveries were made, and took • strong interest in them ; and he felt persuaded that its °parttime would not only be • soars of benefit to Portugal, but of profit to the shareholders, who had thus for the gist time entered upon that virgin field of wealth. The extraordinary fortune of finding at the same spot an unlimited quantity of iron of the beet quality, with an equally uolimited supply of coal and charcoal, and other requtsites for reducing it, was such as rarely occurred, and augured the beet possible results. With the help of Eng lish capital, the district would probably in • short time be transformed ioto a large iron and coal producing locality. and obtain • reputation for its yield of the great production which industry was so dependent. Already 4 030,00 W. or 5,000,0001. had been employed, and had creates in some of the southern districts of Portugal en im portant and improving branch of labour ; while on the coast of Spain new mines had been opened, and these too bad given an impulse to the working spirit of the people. Although he rejoiced at the prospentv of the company they must pardon him if he confessed that after all that was with him a secondary consideration. The first was his country, for which he had laboured throughout his life, is peace sod in war, in industry and in politics. (Hear, hear.)

"The hopes in the maintenance of peace become every day stronger," says the indlyendance, "both in Paris and London. The Queen of England's , speech, the indications furnished by the Gazette de ►a Croix with regard to the intentions of the Prue sign government, the attitude of the French diplo- ' matists, as revealed in the articles of La France and the Pays, the absence of all warlike excitement in the other French government papers—all these circumstances have contributed to give the situa tion the assuring character which it presents at this moment, and which it will continue to main tain at least till the reply of Russia to the de-' spatches which are at this moment preparing at Paris, Vienna, and London be known."

THE DEATH OF SIR CRESSWELL CRESSWELL. (From tt» Lancet.) At eeoen minutes to 7 on the evening of Wednea , day the distinguished Judge of the Court of Probate and Divorce, Sir Ceraiwell Cromwell, suddenly expired. It is well known that he had recently met with a severe acci dent but the injury which he then received, although it may gave accelerated his dooms* by the Dever shock which it undoubtedly inflicted on the system, does not appear to have had any direct share in the fatal result which has un expectedly occurred. When violently thrown over by the runaway horses which broke from Lord Award's carriage Sir Croswell was ford, on being raised from the ground, to be suffering from fracture of the knee-pan. This was sot, however, a fracture from direct violence ; but when examined by the surgeon summoned—Mr. James Lane, of Si. Mary's Hospital--lie fouud east from the nature of the fracture it was evidently one of those rare instances in which the knee-pan is rent by the sudden and violist action of the extensor muscles a the thigh, commonly in the effort to recover the balance of the body, and avoid falling. There was but little bruis iog— much less than might have been anticipated, aud no other apparent injury. The fractured part was lesliogfavonr ably,and Sir Cress well bore the erg oement with crest rue nimitv, sod was in good spirits throughout. Mr. James Lane and Mr. Charles Hawkins were in continuous attendance, and everythiog promised a speedy reoovery. Properly dev:sed splints having been adjusted, Sir Croswell was able, with assistance, to shift himself from the bed to a couch, and had done so in the course of Wednesday. As be was being lifted in the evening from the couch spin to the bed with the assistanoe of his brother, the Rev. Oswald Creswell, he complained of feeling faint, asked for wine, and almost immediately died. lie bad always considered himself a specially healthy .nao, and 1/1..s mentioning shortly after his accident that be had never had a day's illness, and had never consulted a physician since he left Khoo!. He had lately become somewhat soddenly corpu lent, but it was never suspected, by himself or any other person, that the hand of disease had seized him so firmly, though silently. The post-mortem examination was performed at 7 p.m. on Thursday, by Mr. Charles Hawkins, Mr. James Lae, and Dr. Barr. The examination of the chest showed that the • heart wan the mole seat of draft. It was loaded with fat, • the wells of the ventricular cavities were thin and weak, end the muscular fibres pale; the valves were competent. . Throughout the rest of the body the organs were found in a healthy condition, although in parts loaded with fat. On examining the knee joist some blood was found ' effused between the fractured surfaces of the bone ; there was no inflammation, irritation, or effusion in the interior of the joint, but repair was smog on satisfactorily. The cause of death was, doubtless, severe syncope, fatal because occurring in a weak heart Vanity degenerated. A circumstance occurred is counexion with the accident which, although by no means exceptional, deserves to be ; I mentioned, as illustrating the admirable spirit is which our . hoepitale are administered. and the firmness and self-der ton with which the members of the medical retention perform their duties to the poor in those establishmenta. ; Sir eeriest' was overthrown within eight of St. George's Hospital, and a hasty melange was sent there, statiog that as trident had occurred to the distinguished judge. and requesting that the hoursurgeoe might accompany him to his home. The hour. surgems, however, was then engaged in urgent duties of attendance upon poorer sufferers, and I felt unable to leave hie post. Ot4v rifled attendance was immediately at hand. Such incidents are not rare, and we I ' cannot but think that they reflect honour on our proforma and deems to be widely hawse. THE "FEMALE BLONDIN" CATASTROPHE AT ASTON PARK.

THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. At a apecial neasdon convened at Newport Peg. nett, yesterday, Micheal Lyons was brought np on remand, charged under the Ilth section of the 24th and Vith of Victoria, esp. 100, with assaulting with • clasp knife, and wounding, with intent to murder, James Worked and Peter M 'Clean in a certain railway carnage on the London and North.Weetern Itailwv, between Bletcbley and London , on the night of the 1 th day of July, 1861, It will be remembered that the prisoner was charged oft the lest occasion under the. 20th section of the act with haying unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm, the punienment under which was, as • miedemeanour, three yews' penal servitude; but on mature consideration Hr. Powell, the clerk to the magistrates, considered it advisable to alter the charge to that me& in the II th section, which made the offence aim. milted a felony, and the penalty penal servitude for ten years. Mr. Charles J. Rawlings, solicitor, Romford, and 59, Bishopegateetreet Within, attended on behalf of Messes. M'Lean and Worland; Mr. Jones, of Aylesbury, ap. peered. as on the former occaaion, for the prisoner, who was brought up, as before, by Mr. Superintendent Thont at Breay, from Featly Stratford, where be has been since the remand on Wednesday week. . _ Mr. Rawlings said he appeared before the bench to prose cute the charge against the prisoner in the dock, instructed by Mr. Peter 11'Litan and Mr. James Worland, as it was understood that the railway authorities did not intend to interfere in any way or take say steps whatever ire the mat. ter, boiling it as not being any affair of Me company, H e (Mr. Rawlings) could not help coiling the attention of the bench to the fact that their worships had been occupied for along time in the investigation of scam of pocket-piclueg at the Bletchleyatation, and their polioasergeant had chugs of such a case, which the company apparently deemed of far more important* than the murderous attack which was charged quoit the prisoner. He deemed it right to noti ce the fact, that the public might know, through the medium date prom, what course of conduct the company thought fit to pursue in the matter. The learned gentleman then detailed the facto as given in evidence, which only went to con firm the amount which we have already presented to oar readers. After the evidence several communications were read, which went to show that the prisoner's mind was affected. He was, however, committed for trial, the deface being reserved. THE REPRESENTATION OF PONTEFRACT.—There are already two candidates in the field for the represents tion of Pootefrect, vacated by Mr. Monekton Milers (Lm Houghton). Sir E. W. Head, late Governor-General of Canada, has issued an address, in which he says that while he is devotedly attached to the laws and constitution of England, he has ever been convinced that progress is the truest conservatism, and that we best maintain our insti. tutions by cautiously improving them. He continues— " Whilst I acknowledge the claims of the established church, I admit in the fullest sense the righte of who dissent from her creed. I shall ever be jealous of all extravagance or waste which increases the bonbon of the people; but at the same time I shall sheik from any vote which may compromise our good faith or risk the loin of our national honour." Mr. Samuel Waterhon^ who appears as the conservative candidate, has also issued an ILMTCOS, in which be says :—" I shall ever be ready to promote wise and salutary reforms, bet recent sad even* so destructive to the happieen of a kindred people, afford an additional proof of the superiority of English institutions, and I am strongly opposed to the creed of those who desire that the constitution of old England shoull be fashioned after a transatlantic model." The writ be. been received by the Mayor, and was publicly read at five o'clock on Wed nesday afternoon. The nomination is fixed for Monday. Sir E. W. Head addressed the electrum on Wednesday night.

HOIIR/BLE DEATH IN A MILL PROM CRINOLINN, AT LET.DB.—Mr. Blackburn, yesterday ghureday), held as inquest at the Town-hall, upon Harriet oat y, aged 22, the daughter of a shoemaker in York-road, and whom life had undoubtedly been menaced to the senseless fashion of wearing large cricolines. The deceased worked at Mr. Hotling's cloth mill, Millgarthetreet, and on Wednesday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, she was standiog on the top of the fourth storey of the appareatly waiting for a companion. & widow named Cudworth, who was employed at the same mill, saw her turn round, as if to make way for some one, and immediately afterwards beard an agonising scream. Mrs. Cudworth ran and found the deceased bad become entangled with the shafting, which continued to revolve. The foreman at once ordered the engine to be stopped, but owing to the absence of the fireman and the inability of the man left in charge to control the machinery, die shafting continued in motion for ten minutes or a quarter of so hour, every revolution dragging the unfortunate deceased closer and tighter to the machinery. When at length the eugiue was stopped she was frightfully mutilated. her cheat Icing in jured and her bowels protruding. Her dress had to be cut away io Messes, and as six thicknesses of crinoline steel en circled the deceased and the shaft, it was some time before She was removed, and she expired five minutes after her extrication. Mrs. Cudworth believed that the decessed's crinoline had flown round and caught in the shafting. She had out, she said, considered the shafting &sacrum& "but then," she added, " 1 never wear crinoline, and would noi allow a person who wore one to work in a milL" A discus sion worn d amongst the jury respecting the advisableness of the sivitliog being protected, and eseutually the ioquest was adjourtied until to-day to enable the factory inspector to atteud. —Leeds Mercury.
