IRELAND. ~-_ Drntm, OCT. 28 Now that the Great Industral Exhibition is on the eve of vanishing treat the t y._s of the good peo ple of Dublin, the latter are beginning to apprecia:c its merits, and a general rush to the budding is made b 7 all climes. Yesterday 17,104 person., visited the Exhibition, wing the hugest attendance on any day since the opening, except on the 15th of August, the day of her Mai.suy's first visit; and notwithstand ing the multitude assembled, there was no incon venient throng or pressure. The rain is still unabated, but it is gratifying to find that few winplaints of mischief effected by the moisture reach us from the country. The grumbling at the ravages of the potato disease has entirely ceased, and it is understood that a very considerable portion of the crop will have been saved. Large quantities of potatoes are now exported to England from various parts of the country, and hence the prices are sustained at a high figure. THE CHOLERA. Minn the General Board of Health, Oct. 254 Mbntorous.—From returns made by the Super intendents of the 1), H, K, L, M, I', and It divisions to the Commissioners of Police, and transmitted by them to the General Board of lieulth, it appears this between the 17:h and 26th instant 20 cases of cholera have come to the knowledge of the police in those districts of which eight have ended rut:illy. I,trroN.—Oct. 27. Cholera, 1 death. B PON-TWEED (CASTLEGATE).—Oct. 27. Cholera, 1 death. NEWCASTLE-ow-TYNE—Oct. 26. Cholera, 1 death; diarrhea*, 1 death. Oct. 27. No deaths are regis tered in this district. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrluca in Newcastle during the present outbreak to the 26th instant has been 1,537. GAT ESIIEAD.—Oct. 26. Choleru, I.deoth. HEwourtt.—Oct. 26. Cholera, 1 death. 28. No death from cholera or diarrhces has been registered this day iu the union. The above make .7102 deaths from cholera in the Gateshead Union, and 43 from diarrhoea; total, 64.5. Of these 412 have occurred in the Gateshead, 98 in the Heworth, 21 in the Whilkham district, and 14 in the Winlaton district of the onion. Mottriatt death. 24. Cholera, DVNDLY..—Oct. 26. In the lost ret tiros four cases of cholera were remaining under treatment. Of these two have since died and two new cases have occurred, leaving four still under treatment. ISTOCICTos-uPON-TLEl.—This :owa is now declared to be perfectly free both front cholera and diarrhoea. DowuEs.—Although from the 19th to !he 26th of September 12 deaths occurred from the disease, they appear to have attracted little attention ; but "ontho morning of the 27th," states Mr. Lee, " one of the influential inhabitants came to Newcastle by an early train, to say that the disease had suddenly buret out with great violence in various parts of the town. Dr. Gavin and I immediately went down sud spent the day in inspecting the place and advising the local committee. 'lbis committee consisted of the guardians of the parish, the overseers, the surveyors of the highw.►ys, the clergy, medical practitioners, and other inhabitants. Tney had already inspected the whole of the place, and had removed about 121) loads of filth. Taking it altogether, 1 have never seen a place in such a defective sanitary condition. The worst part of the place formerly belonged to the corporation of Newcastle, but about 12 months ago it was transferred to tho commissioners of the river Tyne. The revenue of the corporation from this pro perty was about 1,2001. per annum, but nearly the whole of it is stated to be houses and buildings which bare been allowed to become so dilapidated and orninons that it might now be taken at 8001., or perhaps only 5001., per annum." Bisuor AcciaANt).—On a personal inspection of this town Dr. Walter Lewis *fates that if is in an extremely filthy condition, no systematic attempt at cleansing or removing the innumerable nuisances having been made. The sir breathed by the inha bitants is charged with offensive effluvia, and it seems almost miraculous that they have escaped with so little disease as they have. There have been, how ever, several cases of cholera and fever in some of the localities in which the medical officers predicted that these scourges would bo certain to show them selves. The board of guardians, at their meeting on the 22nd instant, appointed a sanitary committee, and requested all the medical men in the union to act as sanitary o ffi cers,,,and the police to report in writing all noirances met with. They have also ordered carts and scavengers to go round the town daily, to carry away all refuse, and thus prevent such accumulations es are now to bo seen in almost every uhpit and middenstead in the town.

Some further evidenc., was taken this morning to WI case of Henry Kirk, the adjudication in whose case Is questioned, on the ground at there being no trading. Mr. Kirk deposed that he had been in custody for debt nearly four mon.hs, at the suit of Mr. Adams, banker, of Ware. He petitioned the insolvent Court ab)ut the 12th July last, but had not filed his schedule. He then found that, sting a tru,:er, he could go through the Bankruptcy Court. Ile had bad a conversation on the subject with Mr. A. Nis'tett, solicitor, son of the petitioning creditor. He bad become connected with the Cattle-market Company in 1816 ; be suggested its tatablishment to Mr. Ilicstbrook and others. lie joined the company as a director, and had 20 .bares .llotted to him, M consideration of the large outlay he had incurred in preliminary expenses. His name wm inserted in the deed of settlement as director and manager. Nichols, and other perfume under him, bought the hay. HI toad them how much to buy ; they judged of the quality and price. Vey large quantities were bought and sold, and the profit was very large. The bay might have been sold to any one. Furtaer proceedings in the case were then adjourned to this day. CENT.RAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COL:RT.-YESTERDAY. SWORE ■t. JI•IFICY CRINNOWLII. AND MIL JUSIICII WILLIAM% CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER. James Ilayes, 39, an Irish labourer, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wile, Elisabeth Hayes. The learned counsel for the prosecution opened the case to the jury, and the following evidence was then adduced. Mary Anne Hymens uid—l live with my husband at Shepherd's Bush Market. I knew the prisoner and his wife, and remember seeing them about half-past ten o'clock at night on the lich September, near the Stewart's Arms, Shepherd's Bush Market. I said to the prisoner, "There stands your wife," end be turned round to me end said, "It will be the last time." I made nn answer to him. The deceased appeared quits sober, and the prisoner did not seem to be much in liquor. Crowe:mined—The reason I spoke to the primer was because I thought he did nut see his wife. lam sure the prisoner uid nut say that ho should not care if it was the last time that he saw her. Thomas Taylor, a labouring man, said—About half-past eleven o'clock, on the night in question, I was standing with a man named George near the Stcwart's Arms, Shep herd's Bush Market, and l saw the 'prisoner and the de emed. She asked the prisorer to go home, and be imme diately stem k her on the hotly end knocked her down. She got up, and he knocked ner down a second time. She then ran behind me end George for protection, and I told her to getaway, u I thought perhaps her husband might think I was harbouring her. The prisoner came up and kicked at her, and said "he would kick her braise out." Tho deceased ran away, and the prisoner called out that he would do for her. The deceased went away in the direction of the Queen's Arms, and I saw no mote of her. Them were a good many people in the market when this occurred. _ . Emily Shirley said —I was coming Lome between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, the 17th of September, and I saw the prisoner in the market at Shepherd's Bush. He knocked a woman down in the market and she got ue and walked away, and I saw no more of her then. Later In the evening I saw the same woman again. She was going down by the Royal Hotel towards a place called Robiuson's Gate and Shep herd's Bush back gardens. I was going in the same direc tion and we joined together at Robinson's-gate. I saw the prisoner standing just past the gate. When we came up he turned as though he was coming towards us, and the woman turned round to follow him. The prisoner stopped and laid hold of the woman and rammed her neck against the rails of the gate with Loth his hands. Arm" this they went away together, and I saw no more of them. (This witness was unable to speak to the identity of the person of the deceased, but she recognised some articles of clothing worn by her on the night in question.) After some corroborative evidence, Richard Kenny, a carpenter, said—On Sunday morn ing, the llth of September, I was passing the buildings re ferred to by the last witness, and in consequence of some thing I heard I went into the buildings and found eke de. ceased l7ing in the excavation formed for the purpose eithe foundation of the houses. She was lying on her teeth end her shawl was turned over her head. I pulled her over em her back, and unpinned her bonnet and stays. I found she was alive but senseless. Her right eye was swollen and closed up, and there was the mark of a blow upon the corner of her mouth. The deceased was in the act of vomiting when I turned her over. James Titling, a police constable, proved that he went to the buildings, and found the deceased in the condition described by the last witness, and he had her taken to the pike station. He also proved that he was present when the prisoner was apprehended on the following day, and said that when he was told he was taken into custody on account of his wife, he replied " If my wife likes to get drunk, which she will de, and knock herself about with a brick, I cannot help it." Edward Lines, a labouring man, deposed that be married the sister of the deceased. Oa the 11th September, in con sequence of something be beard, be went to the prisoner and asked him if he had heard anything about his wife. He said he had heard a little, but, thank God, he knew nothing about it. Witness then told him that she was at the police station very bad, end that no one would be allowed to see her, but her sister or her husband. lie saw the prisoner again at a later hour of the day, and be said he had not been home and he then ealled,out, " Success to tho Brickeys who did her job for her, though I did not wish to hurt the hair of her head. I have not lived with her for two years." Cross-examined—On the night before the deceased was found dead she was drinking with witness and her husband, and some other men. They had two half-pints of gin, and the deceased partook of both. The prisoner and his wife appeared on very good terms et this time. Mr. John Brown, the surgeon, who made the post mortem examination of the deceased, described the injuries she had received, and stated that her death was occasioned by effusion of blood upon the brain, the result of these injuries. On his cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh he expressed a confident opinion that the injury upon the right eye was the effect of a blow, and that it could not have been occasioned by a fall. Mr. John Knight, a grocer at Bayswater, deposed that the prisoner and the deceased were at his shop together at about 20 minutes past 12 at night on the 10th September. They purchased some grocery goods, and he did not observe that they appeared at all on bad terms. Mr. Sleigh, at the close of the case for the prosecution, addressed the jury on the part of t)W prisoner, and in the course of a forcible and able speech he urged the evidence did not establish the case so clearly against the pri soner as to compel them to come to the irresisti ble conclusion that he bad of his malice aforethought, ac cording to the terms of the indictment destroyed the life of the unfortunate deceased. lie also urged that there was nothing to show that the deceased might not have met her death in the manner suggested ny the prisoner, namely, by her having, while in a drunken state, fallen into company with a number of " brickeye," as they were termed, or brick makers, at whose hands she might have received the fatal injuries which led to her death. The learned counsel also submitted to the jury the possibility that the deceased might have fallen accidentally into the place where she was found, and so have met her death; and, in conclusion, he pressed upon them to consider whether, even supposing they should be of opinion that the deceased bad lost her life by the hands of the prisoner, they might not Wee a merciful view of the enc., under all the circumstances, so far as to say that he did not contemplate the commission of the awful crime of murder, but that his offence amounted to manslaughter only. Mr. Justice Williams summed up, and the jury, after deliberating a short time in the box, expressed their wish to retire. They left the court at a quarter to 7 ,'clock, and returned at a quarter past 8, and gave a verdict by which they de elven the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner was immediately called up for judgment, and the learned judge sentenced hint to be transported for life. Elizabeth Widgery, 25, was indicted for the wilful mur ' der of a male child. The jury. after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of of Guilty. THE POLICIi COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Friend Ecenden, a man between GO and GO years of age, was brought betore the Lord Mayor under the following Polite constable William Hall, (141. 1 , deposed that he was on duty the previous evening in Wormwood.strees, when the defendant, who was drunk, and driving a mourning coach and pair, suddenly drove his horses on the pavement, close ,to the shop windows of the houses, and narrowly escaped gomg into a deep hole which had been opened for the repair of the common sewer, and which Ras only a few feet from the kerbstone. The constable said that tie had very great difficulty in getting the coach and horses into the road again, when he took these to the greenyard and the defendant to the station. house. The Lord Mayor (to the defendant)—What have you to say in answer to the charge ? Defendant—l deny it, my lord. I was net drunk. The Lord Mayor—How came you to he on the pavement ? Defendant—l was not on the pavement. Officer—lie was fast asleep, my :ord. Defendant—No, I wasn't, indeed. I only took the wrong turning; instead of going to the right, I went to the left. (Laugh: n.l Officer—There were two large gas lights, my lord, to warn pessen-by of the hole, and the defendant n could have seen them. When I sleeks him, I asked him where be was going, and be replied, Hume, to 6ny's-inn-road." In stead or that, he was proceeding towards W:itte,chapel. The Lord Mayor (to deft ndant)—You have :tided to the crime of drunkenness, and the danger to which you ex posed her Majesty's subjects, by declaring that you were sober. It is very had to be drunk, and much worse not to know that yr a were 13. Where did you get drunk ? Defendant—Well, my 1. rd, I bad been at a black job, ' and, debuts', I bad a little drop of gin there ; and as it was reining very hard when I was cornitg away, and being afraid of getting wet through, I took another little drop. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—What do you call a little drop"—a pint ? Defendant—Oh, dear no, my lord, nothing of the sort. If I had taken halt that quantity I should have been as tight" es a drum. (Laughter.) I have been '26 years in I my present situation, and have never born in the habit of getting a little too much except on my birthday, as is:the case witl. 'nos. people. (Increased laughter.) The L.ad Mayor—No, indeed it is nut. If ever you are brought here again fur a similar offence I sha:l send you to 'f..o must now pay a fine of ss. or suffer seven days' imprisonmee:. The iierendant paid the money and was liberated. I....trei, Andes, who was summoned this dry weft, at the instance of the City Commission of Sewers on a charge of having neglected to comply with tho regulations of the commiuien in respect to some bou , es beleng:ug to him in FirebalLeourt, again appeared. It will be recol lected that the se %era' summonses which had been taken out against him were adjourned to this day, fur the pur pose of enablicg him to get rid of the tenants of the houses. Mr. Davis, from the office of Mr. T. Tyrrell, solicitor to the commission, again attended for the complainants, atd said that, since tb- termer hearing of the c.e.e, the de:r rod ent had got rid of all the tenants except those at No. 9, Fireball-court, and that these, he was given to understand, were about to quit. The defendant said, that not one of the tenants would be in the house after to-night, es ho had taken effectual means to get rib of them, and had already put locks on the doors of those houses which he bad Biretta y succeeded in dispos sessing eitheir occupants. He also said that by having adopted the views or the Commission, and acted upon the advice of the Lord Mayor, he had made suck alterations and improvements in the houses that he would ho enabled to iet them at a much higher rent than he had heretofore received for them. The Lord Mayor.—The summonses will stand over for a month, in order that the defendant may have the fullest opportunity of putting all the houses in such a state of repair, comfort, and cleanliness, as the Commissioners desire.

James C, ant, 18 years of age, war charged with wound ing William Boylan. he complainant, who exhibited extreme personal suffer ing, and appeared with his head enveloped in surgical bandages, stated that the prisoner was an aperentica to his (witness's) employer, Mr. Bull, in whose house he resided, and salt the sister of witness, a young orphan girl of wenk intellect, had also been received into the family of his master, who had undertaken, front charitable motives, to provide for her rince the death of her parents. On the previous day his sister suddenly absented herselt from the house, and on questioning her on her return as to the cause of her protracted absence, she burst into tears and refused fur some time to satisfy his inquiries; but after much difficulty he at length elicited from her that she had been out to puralase a packet of oxalic acid, with which it was her intention to destroy herself. On being pressed to explain her motives for such conduct she informed him that while her master and mistress were on a visit in the country cheat four months previous, the prisoner had taken a base advantage of their absence, and effected her ruin, and finding that she was in a state of preg nancy, she had resolved to put an end to her exist ence. On heariug her statement, witness instantly proceeded into the workshop, where he found the prisoner, and upraided him with his infamous conduct, which he made no attempt to deny, but treated the matter with such heartless levity and indifference that he was unable to control himself, and was 'tempting to drag him from his seat, when the prisoner caught up a heavy wooden implement, with which he struck him a terrible blow en the head, and felled him to the ground in a state of insensi bility. lie remained for a considerable time in a senseless condition, but was at length raised from the ensued by his master, who sent for a surgeon, by whom his wound was dressed, and the prisoner was then secured and given into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that the com plaisant had commenced a violent attack upon him in the first instance, and he considered himself fully justified in repelling it to the best of his power, but that he merely acted in self defence.) Mr. D'Eyncourt said it was to be regretted that the COM. plainant had attempted to take the law into his bards, not withstanding the grievous sense of wrong with which he was actuated at the time ; and as he bad evi dently sustained a dangerous injury, he should require the prisoner to enter into recognisance' fur his appearance en that day week, to afford time for ascertaining the result of his violence. hIARLIBOBOUGH-STREBT. A lady presented herself in court to know whether there was any redress for an imposition to which she had been subjected. She was induced, by means of a bill which had come under her notice informing her that a great bankrupt sale was to take place at the St. George Hall of Commerce, Maddox.street, where no end of bargains in shawls, dresses, and all kinds of female finery, were to Le picked up, to pay a visit to the place, and to become the purchaser of a satin dress fur two guineas, warranted worth twenty, which she had just ascertained wouli be dear in any respectable shop at fifteen shillings. After she had paid for her bargain, a shawl was shown to her warranted real cashmere, the trade price of which was 251., but as the article must be sold and money must be had, a largo sacrifice would be made for cash. She refused to make the purchase on the ground that three guineas was the extent of the sum she would be disposed to invest in the purchase of such an article. With an apparent show of reluctance the owner of the real cash mere consented to make a tremendous sacrifice and to let her have the twentyfive guinea cashmere for three guineas. Applicant had soon afterwards ascertained that she had obtained a trumpery imitation shawl at double its trade value. She wished to know whether she could punish the parties for having taken her in or whether she could by any process get back her money. Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, said he feared her case was without remedy. The deception that had been practised on her was not an offence either at common or statute law. She had made an open purchase. She had seen the property with her own eyes, and bad parted with her money voluntarily. Under those circumstances he even doubted whether any remedy would be afforded by the County Cout. .....—...—.. Wirs. Themes, • notorious dog stealer, was brought up on remand for final examination, before Mr. Poynter, on the charge of endeavouring to obtain 21. from a lady named Grace Leslie, residing at Gunter's-grove, Falham•road, for the purpose of restoring a favourite spaniel of the King Charles's breed, which was supposed to have been stolen on Saturday, the Bth inst., and also with having stolen n valuable deg named " Dan Tucker," belonging to Lady Essex, of No. 31, Cheaham-street, Pimlico, on the 27th of May last. At the close of a long examination, during which other charges were preferred against the prisoner, Mr. Poynter sentenced him to two separate periods of six months' imprisonment. SUGAR.—The avenge price of sugar, the produce of the British possessions in Americo, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the 25th October, 1853, is 235. 814. Sugar, the produce of the Mairitius, 225. 11d. Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 251. 117,1. The average price of the three foregoing descriptions of sugar, jointly, is 235. 1014. per cwt. BRISTOL, OCT. 2s. SI:GAIL—The market has been very dell tbis week, and, with the exception of a cargo of lrinidad sold privately, the transactions since our last are of a most retail character. Refiners' produce has been only sparingly dealt in, and prices nre with difficulty supported. For rum the demand has quite subsibed. COTTON.—LivsaeooL, Ocr. 28.—The cotton market is now undergoing those tests of its stability to which we have previously alluded, and which, without any aggravation or additional matter, have been acting upon us all week, and up to the present moment. For a time we were somewhat depressed by an apprehension that the Batik of England would raise the rate of discount to 6 per cent. The meet ing of directors yesterday, however, has passed over with out any change having been announced. The various cir cumstances, therefore, which govern our proceedings being without c hange, the cotton market has also followed the same steady and unchanging course. A fair trade demand has existed, joined by some business for export, sufficient to maintain prices at their former currency—perhaps we might add, as the only qualification to this report, that during the last two days there has been :a little more flat ness, the common qualities of American being more freely offered for sale. The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands at 61d. ; Mobile, cid. and Orleans at 6j 1. 2,930 American, 1,900 Surat, and 640 Egyptian are reported to have been taken on speculation ; and 610 American and 2,900 Surat for export. Sales for the week, 36,580 bales. LACE.—NOTTINGHAM, OCT. 28.—We are sorry to say we are still unable to report mere favourably than hitherto, in reference to the lace trade. There is little doing by the mercantile houses, and manufacturing hands coatinue to be only partially employed. The source whence relief was an ticipated this reason, namely, the American buyers, have tint, by their presence and purchases, so far as these have gone, nearly realised expectations. They have not as yet transacted business to any material extent. We are still hoping, however, that we shell be in receipt of extended orders from them ere long. Our home trade is also fiat, there being but Lyle doing in any lace branch. The greater part of the business now in process of transaction is con fined to common goods, which we believe are being mean factured for the Australian market; scarcely anything is doing in the better classes of goods, which include black and white silks, and the better sorts of white laces. The goods which are now manufacturing are for orders actually received, none are making on speoulation.—Nottinghairs Guardian. 15th WOOL.—L enns, Ocr. 28.—Se1es, both for combing and clothing wools, this week have been very small, and to supply the immediate wants of the manufacturers, who, as a body, have very light stocks of wool ; prices are conse quently in favour of the buyers.
