*parting intelligent,. YORK AUGUST MEETING.-TurnDAY. THE GREAT EBOR HANDICAP DAY. The near approach of the great race of the meeting was marked by the increasing excitement in the city on Wed mods), night, when • large crowd of persons assembled outside " Harker's" at an early hour. while the bar and lobby of the hotel were also crowded with sporting men. Every scrap of news appertaining to the priecijaal favou rites for the Rho, was eagerly discussed, and the slightest variation in the market was immediately communicated to the crowd outaide, and thence to all the sporting houses in York. The subscription-MOM was for a bog time but scantily patronised ; the proceedings, himever ' were important, particularly thou on the St. Leger and Derby. It was evident that a commission was out in favour of Hermit f it the Doncaster event, as • large speculator coin sleeted tilting all the six to fours obtainable, and after investing close upon • thousand pounds at that figure, was content to take Zeo to 200 about the Derby winner. Vauban would have been backed at any thing over 7 to 2, but 1000 to ::000 was the highest offer against him. Challenge, from the fact that the Marquis of Hastings had purchased him, was " nibbled" at. but there was nothing reliable in the trunuctions, 'as his new owner refused the 1000 to GO offered against bin), although be expressed his willingness to accept 25 thousands about the son of Trumpeter. The betting on the Ebor was unmarked by any feature be yond the feet that the Marquis backed Gooier., to win se veral thousands at 9 and 10 to 1. The Lkrby wagering was remarkable for the support awarded to Lady Eliza beth, who was backed for :Mi. at 8 to 1, that price not being forthcoming Nickers were content to take 15 to 2, assns eventually that quotation was absorbed, 7 to I only being offered on the field. The Whitewall horse, Viscount, who has appeared prominently in the Derby betting of late, was subjected to great hostility-60 to 1 being loudly offered @garnet him ; and to show how serious were layers in their intentions, a gentleman was accommodated with 10,000 to 150 immediately he expressed his willingness to accept that bet. The attractions of the For Handicap day were largely increased by the admitted fact that the rue was one of the most open on record, owing to the excellence of the handicapping. Backers of horses were fairly puzzled where to bestow their favours, and so diverse were opinions that scarcely any two predictions were identical. Mr. Johnsoneannot possibly be over-complimented on the emi nently satisfactory results of his calculations as to the bolus' abilities. The morning opened wenn and bright, but towards noon the sky was clouded, and the air became exceedingly close and sultry. The indications of the " Ebor day "were early manifested in the city, owing to the continuous arrival of heavily laden excursion and special trains, and the holiday visitors occupied their morning in strolling through the street., end even in organizing expeditions to the dizzy heights of the Minster. The company was largely augmented, as was especially ob servable in the crowded state of the city and the commotion in the main thoroughfares. " Harker's" hotel was the chief rendezvous, and the nor Handicap created more excite ment than any similar race for many years, reminding us of the most prosperous days of the Chester Cup. As already mentioned, there had been some heavy betting on the previous night, when the Ebor Handicap and the Doncaster lit. Leger led to the investment of some thousands of pounds. Consequently the market was comparatively languid in the morning, and little was done before reaching the course. After settling" had been disposed of, 100 to 15 was offered on the field, and it was difficult to discover which was favourite of the three, Challenge, Beeswing, or Bradamante, hut on the course a steady demonstration set in against Challenge, who de clined to Bto 1 offered in some instances. Owners was very firm, and 8 to 1 was accepted as soon as members assembled in the enclosure, a well.known commissioner being busily engaged in accepting that price about her to all the money that could be got on prior to the first race. Fortunio and Mandrake were equal favourites at 10 to 1, the pair being for some time the most fancied of the " second" division. Treasure Trove was backed by some shrewd judges at 100 to 7, and 20 to I was for some time offered against the friendless Goodwood, until • reaction suddenly set in in his favour, 2,400 to 200 and 2,000 to 200 being booked about him, followed by smaller investments at the latter price. Another fee- ture in the betting was the " coming " of Dolby, whose owner accepted 1000 to 70 about him several times, mid there was a rush immediately on the Chester Cup hero, at the " lists." The Marquis of Hastings (whose actual ownership of Challenge, it should be mentioned, did not commence until after the Ebor Handicap) backed Comers immediately at 8 to 1, and Challenge at a point less. thus somewhat reassuring the early hackers of the last mentioned. Racing very properly commenced half an hour earlier than on the opening day, but the three races preceding the Ebor were watched with but little interest by the general body of the company, who evidently were attracted to the Knaresmire for one race only. The atten dance was very great, the course being lined on either side by immense crowds, while a large number of carriages and other vehicles were drawn up on the far side of the course, the " block" extending nearly to the turn. The Ebor Handicap was appointed for fire minutes past three o'clock, sad when the numbers were displayed it was seen that there were 15 runners, • larger number than had been calculated upon, the only absentees from the card being No. 6, Retrousse . • No. 8, Ledy Vane ; No. 11. The Peer • and Na 18, Leap Year. At the last moment, the excite ment was intense, and the betting was carried on to the close with the grea t est spirit imaginable, Beeswing leuingoff first favourite at 5 to 1. while next in demand were Mandrake and Challenge at 7 to 1 each ; Gooier* and Bradaniante had also 8 to 1 taken about them respectively. The Duke of Beaufort was represented by Seville and Gomera, the first-named being started to force the pace for her stable companion. Minster Bell was set to do a like office for her associate, Mandrake. These two pioneers, directly the flag fell, rushed to the front, and made the running very strongly, but in the straight the race seemed entirely at the mercy of Berawing, who was pulling double at the distance. Prior evidently considered he could win as he pleased, and waited and waited until the backers of the favourite were placed on thorns. The jockey, rule:slim lating the pace, allowed his mare liberty, and in the meantime Cameron, on Mandrake, crept up next the rails, and Prior, perceiving the danger when too late, called upon his mare; but the mischief was perpetrated, and, amidst a perfect scream from the ring, Man drake was seen to get up in the last stride of all, and won by • bead, Comers being third, beaten • length. The result created an immense sensation, as it was evident but for Prior's remissness Beeswing would have won very easily indeed. After the raw the jockey confessed that he had not seen Mandrake until too late, and It is needless to say that Mr. Heatheote and his trainer were much chagrined at the upshot. Mandreke, it will be remembered, was third in the Brighton Stakes and second to Pearl Diver for the Lewes Handicap, and though he unquestionably won by one of the greatest " flukes" ever recorded, the success of Mr. Johnstone'scolours gave much satisfaction, especially among the north ceentryinen, as the winner is • Yorkshire hero.

At the first attempt an even start was effected, but before half a dozen strides had been traversed Minster Bell and Seville simultaneously rushed to the front, to Serve their stable companions Mandrake and Comma. The pair, head and head, raced away at a rattling pace, being soon a dozen lengths in advance of Fortunio, Aileahury, Treasure Trove, Goodwood, Mandrake. Sealskin, and Aek. worth, who lay slightly in advance of the ruck, the rear division consisting of Beaming, Challenge, Comma, and Dalby, running nearly abreast.

Loud shouts were raised that " Beaming wins;" and such seemed to be the fact, as Pryor bad rot moved on her, while Cameron was bard upon Mandrake; but in the last half dozen strides the "northern light weight" with • tremendous effort literally ' pushed" Mandrake to the front, and notwithstanding Pryor's final effort on Beaming won a most exciting race by a bead. Comers finished a length in rear of the se cond, and half that distance in advance of Challenge ; Fortunio close up, being fifth, and Bradamante, sixth. Then came Treasure Trove, tiroilwood, Fairwind, and Ailesbury, Sealskin, Dalby and Ackworth passing the post next. Minster Bell pulled up opposite the stand, and Seville walked in with the crowd.

The packets will moor in Jenny Cliff Bay, where =7=are laid down, and in the Admiralty ground re is sufficient room to admit of it. A meeting, called at the instance of the Stour bridge Freedmen's Aid Society, was held on Tuesday evening at Parkfield House, the residence of Mr. Wm. Akroyd. The chief object of the meeting was to receive and hear the statements of Win. Forster Mitchell, lately from Tennessee. It is expected that the anniversary meet ing of the National Freedmen's Aid Union and of the Bir mingham and Midland Association will be held in Bir mingham, on October It, when Mr. Lloyd Garrison, the apostle of American abolition, and other gentlemen, have agreed to attend. — Dr. Lankester, the coroner, at a recent inquest, said he had long been trying to find out how much working men drink in a day, but he had never been able to ascer tain. He had once asked the landlord of a public-house frequented by nitwit@ how much a man had drunk in a day, and his answer was he did not know—he had only served him with fifteen quarts of ale in a day. The next day the man was dead. Working men could stand more than others, because they worked it off. Harries could stand moat of all. At a Sheriff, Court, at Chester on Wednesdayk Captain Charles Talbot, late of Aston Park, Preston Brooi near Frodaham, was demanded under a writ of alicia ezigi facia:, at the suit of Charles Lindley Page and Frederick Fletcher Lofts, iasued out of the Court of Exchequer, and as he did not answer, juigment of outlawry was pro nounced against him. Tile Co:oiler Bairrzw.—A petition praying for the reprieve of the Woolverton murderer was presented to the Right $Oll. G. Hardy on Wednesday. The Governor of Taunton gaol, Mr. Oakley, has also come to London, having, it is said, had an important communication made him by Britten, tending to glee weight to the paragraph in the petition, which states, " Immediately before the crime was committed circumsturces occurred which were calcu lated to arouse the jealous (although probably unjust) sus picions of the prisoner." It is reported that Britten now admits that be saw a man leave his house as he entered on the evening of the murder, and that while he was remon strating with his wife the same manpassed down the road, whereupon some kind of signs], passed between the man and Mrs. Britten. This maddened Britten so much that he seised something heavy o ff the mantel-shelf—another report says the clock weight—and struck the deceased repeatedly, THE MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN BED FORDAIIIIII.—Yesterday morning, at the George the Second Inn, Luton, Mr. J. P. Piper, the deputy coroner for the county, resumed the inquiry into the death of William Bradbury, aged 48 years, who, as alleged, was brutally murdered, and afterwards robbed, about mid night, on Saturday, the 3rd inst., near the Royal Oak public-house, at Round-green, a mile from this town. The deceased man bad been to the Bell Inn, George-street, Luton, on Saturday evening, and had about four pinta of beer, of which, however, his companions partook. He left that house about half-past eleven, and was found at five minutes past twelve lyang in the road near the Royal Oak, Round-green, a place on the way to Lilley, in Hertfordshire, where he resided. The dis covery of the body was made by three men, who gave the following evidence at the first inquiry, which has not yet been made public Worsley said hews. • blocker, and was at Mr. Casale s, at the Royal Oak, Round-green on Saturday, the 3rd, in company of James Day and Levi Welch. They left there at 12 o'clock, when they shut up. They went towards Stopaley, and when about • hundred yards from the Royal Oak he stumbled over a man at the side of the road. His (witness) mates were about the middle of the road. He sung out, " Holies, Levi, here's • man drank in the road." He was making a very curious noise in his throat, as it being strangled . Withers' put his head down to look at him. Deceased was in a curious state, and Day ran back to Gazeley. A lot of people came, and lights being brought blood was found to be clotted on the man's faro and temple like a lump of liver, and his hair was quite matted with blood. When the man was raised up he began to vomit. Witness did not recognise him till after he was washed, although he knew him well by sight Witness helped to carry him to the Jolly Topers, where he was washed. He was quite uncouscious, and never spoke or opened his eyes. Levi Welch oondrmed gene rally the previous witness ; as did also James Day, who deposed to seeing a man strike • light near the spot where deceased was found, and then moll off. He did not see him again. Late last evening Superintendent Pope took the three men, Levi Welch, William Woreley, and James Day, into custody on the charge of murdering and robbing the deceased. A Holm. BOILED ALIVE.—An accident hap pened on Tuesday morning on the works of the St. John's Wood Railway, by which a horse was boiled alive. A great portion a the roadway between Hanover Cottages and Upper Raker-street, in the Park-road, has been TA? for t railwayhedeumo,seenol completing the construction at tached to es are used rrweraisuilini fixede earth as it is excavated. Shortly before nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, whilst one of the largest of these was at work, and just as it had raised a heavy load, it was observed to be slowly canting over. The anginetnan, workmen and bystanders escaped as rapidly as possible to a safe distance, being aware that if not scalded by the water, they might be scalded by the steam. Near the engine stood several horses and carts, which were in readiness to con vey the soil away. Upon one of the carts the engine fell, and forced the horse attached to it to remain where it was deepite its struggles. The boiling-hot water then poured with intermittent rushes from the boiler on to the back of the animal. Its agonised shrieks were piteous, but there were no means of saving it. The fnghtful scene lasted till the water in the boiler was exhausted and the steam had cleared off. The workmen then proceeded to release the horse whose hack was literally boiled, some of the flesh being re ed to drop off. Some propose d . to cut the poor animal's throat and put it out of its misery at once, but the proposition was rejected, and it was taken to the farrier's. A second horse was scalded by the steam and water, but, not being held down, it eeoaped before it was seriously injured. THE TENDER MERCIES or TALLY-YlN.—The rigorous system adopted by the itinerant traders known as • tally-men," under which, after coaxing poor people to purchase their goof* they throw them into prison for in- ' ability to pay, came before the Plymouth guardians the day before yesterday. The clerk said that as long back r 18th the matter came under the consideration of the registrar of the county court. Recently he had en inter view with the judge of the county court and discussed the question with him fully, and the judge said it was contrary to his wishes that persons were sent to prison. He related several cases in which poor people who were very ill at the time had been stripped of everything by the bailiffs of the county court. In one case a man was sent to prison for a trifling debt. He had not been out of prison seven week,, before be was again sent to prison, and he became very ill, and after a few weeks died there. The judge of the county court thought that the best means would be to apply to parliament. He himself was most anxious to suppress the system if he could. The go vernor said many other towns were suffering from this great evil. . .

And therefore, through the proper channel, they beg to draw the attention of her Majesty's judges, and through them of her Majesty's government, to this important question. (Signed) "8. B. MimsprrE, CONCEALMENT OP SEX FOR FIFTEEN YBARS• An investigation of a very extraordinary character took place on Wednesday evening before Mr. Bedford, tho Westminster coroner, at the Prince of Orange Tavern, Brewers-green, relative to the death of a woman unknown, the supposed illegitim►te daughter of a Scotch nobleman, whose true sex was discovered while dying at a common lodging-house, No. 5, Perkin's-rents. She bad dressed as a man for the last fifteen years. William Gillard, superintendent of the lodging•house, said he had known the deceased for the last eight or nine months by the name of Fred. Mitchell, or " Scratchem," the latter being a nickname, owing to • fidgetty dispo sition. The deceased bad dressed as a male, which he believed her to be until he accidentally discovered her true sex. She slept in a separate bed in a room in which twenty-two men also slept, but not the slightest suspicion was created as to her being • woman. Her habits were very strange, and her mode of obtaining her livelihood • mystery. She was exceedingly well educated, and drank nothing stronger than tea. She would bring in her food in a newspaper, and eat it privately. There was not the slightest sign of insanity about her. Shortly before 12 o'clock on Friday night last she retired to bed apps. rently in good spirits, and at half-past 10 the ff . l ‘ l2m morning had not risen. About one o'clock she to be insensible, and foaming at the mouth. - Medical attention was called in, and while carrying out the doctor's orders he found to his surprise that " Scretchem" was • woman. She died at • quarter-past eight in the evening. He found some letters in her coat pocket, which he turned over to Mr. Fitzgerald, the proprietor of the house. Mr. Hunt, surgeon, of Tatchlield-street, deposed to being called to the deceased on Saturday last. He found her lying on her back in bed, apparently labouring under the effects of some narcotic poison or apoplexy. He gave in structions as to her treatment, but she never rallied. He had made • post =stem examination. He thought when be first raw the deceased that she was • man, for she had a most masculine face, with • slight beard, and there was no development of her breasts. She bad • feminine hand. There were no external marks on the body, which was well nourished. On opening the head he found • most extraor dinary condition of diseased brain, both lateral venticles being broken down. The cause of death was softening of the brain, which must have existed for • very long time. It was singular that she bad not exhibited symptoms of in sanity. She was between 50 and 60 years of age. Mr. George Ogle said one of deceased's letters belonged to him, and was an answer to one sent by him to his aunt at Cheltenham, relative to the death of his mother. About April or May last the deceased prese nted herself, hat in band, before the window at witness 's father's house, and solicited alma She said she bad been in very much better circumstances, but got gradually lower and lower, and was then lodging in Westminster, somewhere near Old Pye-street. She mid she had been • bank clerk. Witness', father gave her some bread and meat and other things, and witness gave her • cost, in which was the letter produced. They believed the deceased was a male. She bad a very delicate hand, white hair cut short, and walked with a stick. Theßev. A. White, Roman catholic priest, said he saw de ceased dying in an Irish lodging-house, when the letters pro. duced were given to him by the propriAor. That addressed to a lady was in the handwriting of some one in Edinburgh, and the lady took an interest in deceased, as she was ac customed to attend a chapel near the lady's residence. Tlie letter was written by some half-witted sister to de ceased, who inquired, " Row is my brother r meaning deceased - and he (witness) was astonished when he heard of her re al sex. There were rumours that they were the illegitimate children of some Scotch nobleman. One day last week the deceased railed at the lady's house and in quired about her sister, when the letter was given to her. The Coroner, on viewing the letter, said, " Why it is signed Claude, and yet written by a female. That is remarkable." Further evidence was given, nhowing that • gentleman had identified the body as that of • supposed poor man, whom he had relieved occasionally for the last 15 years. The Coroner remarked that they should not obtain any farther information in this very extraordinary case. Police-Sergeant Lambert, impactor of lodging-buries, said if he had had the letters further inquiries would have been made. A verdict of " Death from natural causes" was recorded. ST.

Terry," was tried before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchsll, to recover damages from the bite of a vicious horse. The plaintiff, Mn. Breslin, was s poor woman, and while walking at Newingtombutts was bitten by • hone of the defendant's, and had suffered much pain. Mr. Geo. Moody was counsel for the plaintiff. The jury awarded 121. As a young officer attached to the rifles quartered in Bandon was fishing in Castle Bernard-park on Tuesday be was attacked by • •warn of bees. So beset was be that to escape them he jumped into the river ; but when ever his head appeared above water they renewed the assault with redoubled vigour. At last, stung almost to madness, he rushed to the bank and ran home to the bar racks as fast as be could.

The first of these came on for trial about mid-day on Monday, and it then transpired that besides the Duke of Rutland, Mr. Nesfield, the steward of his grace's estates in Derbyshire, and a man named Ibbet son who formerly occupied Stonelow Farm, near Chester field, but ban now no fixed or well-ascertained residence, were also defendants. Mr. Seymour, Q.C. Mr. Maule, Q.C., Mr. Fitzjames Stephen, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Blackburn, and Mr. Cave for the plaintiff ; Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Mr. Bristowe for the Duke of Rutland ; Mr. Serjeant Hayes and Mr. Beas ley for Mr. Newfield, the duke's steward ; and Mr. Ser. joint O'Brien foe Ibbetson. The plaintiff in the first action was a contractor and innkeeper at Sheepbridge, near Chesterfield ; in the second, Mr. John Cutta, town clerk, of Chesterfield ; and in the third, Mr. George E. Gee, a solicitor, who had served his articles with Mr. Cutts. On the 30th March last year the plaintiff heard that Stonelow Farm was to let. It was then occupied by Ibbetson, but he had been engaged unsuocess fully in a lawsuit with the Duke of Rutland's game keepers and the duke's solicitors were pressing for pay ment of the costs by him, so that he was compelled to leave the farm. Eventually, Mr. Pocklington (plaintiff) took it, and paid 2041. 9a. 6d. for the property on the pre mises. Shortly after, the Duke of Rutland's solicitors and vents distrained upon the farm for the costa due by Ibbot son, and that led to an action by Pocklington against them, which resulted is his favour. On the 9th of No vember, however, Pocklington, as he was returning home at night, was stopp on the Chesterfield road by a posse of constables under the orders of Mr. Alsop, one of the solicitors acting on behalf of the Duke of Rutland, and apprehended on charges of conspiracy and perjury. Owing to the way in which they had been mixed up with the transfer of Stonelow Farm to Pocklington, Messrs. Cutts and Gee were also made subjects to the same charges, but they were merely summoned in the first instance. All three were committed for trial at the Derby assizes, and last March they were acquitted. Hence the prosecutions, the plaintiff Pocklington all eg ing that he bad honestly carried out his part in succeeding Ibbetson at Stonelow, and that he had suffered greatly in his business as a con tractor by the persecution to which he had, without cause, been subjected. After a complicated trial the case terminated yesterday in a verdict for the Duke of Rutland and his co-defendants. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron BramwelL) THE TAILORS' STIIINE. After the close of our report yesterday, Mr. Keane, in his address to the jury for the defendants for whom be appeared, contended that no offence bad been established against any of the defendants that would have justified their conviction upon an indictment like the present, and that they could never have been convicted if they had not been entangled in the meshes of an indict ment for conspiracy, which let in all sorts of evidence and all sorts of statements. With reference to the misconduct that had been alleged against two of the defendants, he said that it had nothing to do with the picketing system, and everything in the case tended to show that these pro oeedings were utterly contrary to the advice and direc tions of those who were the promoters of that system, and at the same time he said that if such gets had been com mitted, a magistrate had full power to punish them sum marily. Serjeant Parry also addressed the jury, and he com menced by complaining that the prisoners, who were only committed for trial on Saturday last, should have been compelled to take their trial at so early a day, and he said that it evinced the feeling that was entertained by the master tailors, and their determination to crush the working tailor, by every means in their power. He then proceeded in a most effective speech, for which, as on the previous day, he was complimented by the learned judge, to contend that there was no evidence to support the charge of conspiracy, and that thedefendantswere entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Ribton next addressed the jury on behalf of the remaining defendants, going over a good many of the I arguments that had been adduced by the two learned counsel who had preceded him. Baron Bramwell then proceeded to sum up the case to the jury, observing that as it appeared that some of the gentlemen who composed it did not hear the observation, he made in reference to the law open the subject on the preceding day, it would be necessary for him to repeat them. He then proceeded to state that the law of Eng land not only protected bodily liberty, but also the liberty of the mind, and he therefore told them that if two or more persons combined together for the purpose of coercing the will or mind of another, and inducing him to adopt a course of conduet that was not according to his wish, and this object was sought to be carried out by intimidation or moleotation of any kind, this was an offence against the law. As some remarks had been made in reference to the subject, in the course of the inquiry, he would repeat what he said on the previous day with regard to the system of picketing, as it was termed. What be had stated was that the mere watching of a house to see who was employed there, with I the object of quietly arguing with such persons, and es deavouring to induce them to join the strike, was no offence. On the contrary, the law permitted it to be done but the moment any intimidation or violence was resorted to, the proceeding at once became illegal. The learned counsel for the defendants had all repudiated on their be half the acts of annoyance and intimidation that had un doubtedly been practised ; but he could not help observing that those persons who had the control of the picketing proceedings must have been perfectly aware of what was done, and yet they did not appear to have taken any step to put • stop to these proceedings. The jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict at a quarter to 5 o'clock, and in about half an hour they re turned into court sod gave a verdict of Guaty against the whole of the defendants except Sherrocks and Stokes. Sentence was deferred. In reference to the case of Druitt, Lawrence, and Adamson, who were convicted of a similar offence on Wed nesday, it should be stated that the jury strongly recom mended them to mercy on the ground, that they did not believe that they were acting illegally at the time they committed the offence. (Before Mr. Justice Shoe.) Alice Hudson, 22, described as • widow, was charged with feloniously setting fire to certain rticles in the dwelling house of Baker Smith, Caroline Elisabeth Smith and others being therein at the time. Mr. Daly prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Montagu Williams. The prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, who resides at Peckham, and shortly before the occurrence took place that was the subject of inquiry she had received notice to quit. It appeared that she bad gone upstairs to dress herself, and in • abort time she came down and gave an alarm of fire, and it was discovered that an old bonnet and some other articles that were in • drawer on the top of • bed-steps were on fire, and the prisoner made some statement which threw suspicion on her, and she was taken into custody. Very little mischief, however, was done, and it was suggested that as there were children in the house, some play might have been going on, and that the fire was the result of an accident. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. (Before the Recorder.) deorye Askey,l7, Wiliam Lewes, 22, and Henry Collins, 32, were charged with a burglary in the dwelling house of La ey Newberry, with intent to steal. Mr. Resley conducted the prosecution. The offence was clearly established against all the pri soners ; and Agar the chief warder of the City prison, proved that Askey had been five times previously convicted of felony ; and King, another warder, proved that Lewes and Collins had also been several times convicted. When Collins was taken into custody it appeared that he had in his possession a bludgeon heavily loaded with lead, and a meet formidable weapon for mischief. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the Recorder sentenced Asksy and Lewes to be kept in penal servitude for seven, and Collins for eight years. Edward John Brainier, who was oonricted on Tuesday of endeavouring to defraud his creditors, by concealing a portion of his estate after having been adjudicated a bank rupt, was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be imprisoned for 18. months. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Thomas Dunden, 28, farrier. wu convicted of a robbery with violence upon Thomas Wheeler Baker; and several previous convictions being proved against him, he was sentenced to eight yeses' penal servitude, and to receive 39 Lulea from a cat-o'-nine-tails. PIRESENTHENT OT THE GOLAND .THET. rpon the grand jury being d scharged , they banded in the following presentment :—" My ,—On behalf of the grand jury, I have to make the following presentment. The grand jury summoned at the present sessions beg to call the attention of your lordship, the judges, and the bench, to the nature of the numerous cases brought before them. At a sessions heavier than has occurred for some months, nearly two hundred bills of indictment have been presented to them. It appears the majority of the eases have been burglaries and robberies with violence from the person. The grand jury would submit that the evidence in the majority of those cases has been so clear that it was obviously unnecessary to present the cases for their investigation ; that the public, both prosecutors and witnesses, have been put to serious inconvenience as well as the time of the grand jury taken up by these oases, which, having been fully gone into by the police magistrates, might bars been committed for trial without being sent before another tribunal. On the back of arch bill is the name of at least one police con. stable, income three and four ; and the serious detriment to the public eel vice and the consequent failure of justice in many instances, by such a number of constables being withdrawn from their ordinary duty, seems, in the opt. nine of the grand jury, to roll for some alteration in the MARKETS. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrinium, Ammer =— Nearly all the branches of the lace trade continue to be depressed, even for the time of the year. This applies particularly to the home demand. For the American and continental markets a little more inquiry has arisen, and hopes are entertained of a revival of trade in that direc tion. Yarns are a trifle easier, but brown nets are quite firm.—There is a better tone in the hosiery trade, although prices have again yielded a little. Stocks have been kept so low as to necessitate a disposition to press for the execu tion of orders, even in the face of lower rates, it being felt that they must have pretty nearly reached their level for the present.—Nottingdiaw, Journal. COTTON.—LrvnpooL, Auourr 22.—Market quiet, prices slightly in buyers' favour.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BnAproIu), Acorn 22, The wool market is about the same as last week. The better feeling which has prevailed for the last fortnight is well maintained. There continues a steady demand for the finer classes of wools at late rates. There is • general opinion that wools have now reached • point at which spinners may safely operate for the supply of their pros pective wants; but, though this is the opinion held, no one appears to have courage sufficient to speculate, and spinners generally seem to operate to supply immediate wants. Late rates are pretty firmly maintained, and the slightest tendency to make an advance has the effect of repressing business. There was a public sale of 1,000 sheets of English wool this afternoon in the Old Exehange-boild- Inge. The wool generally was only of an inferior quality, but it fetched good prices—higher, perhaps, by Id. or 23. per pound than the current rates for similar wool here. Bright super hogs realised from 180. to Ifild. per lb., and middle withers from Mid. to laid. In worsted yarns there is more inquiry on the part of the export buyers, but the prices offered are too low to be accepted by spinners. The general demand for the continent continues below the average amount. The actual business done is small. The fine weather, however, has a favourable influence. In some sorts, as in carded yarns, there is rather more busi ness reported. Prices are about the same as last week. The piece trade is quiet. There has of late been • little more doing for America, but all goods for that quarter are for immediate delivery. Only such goods as are actually in stock, or can be made quickly, are consequently taken. Old orders for the autumn trade are running out, and manufacturers are turning their attention to novelties for the spring. The home merchants are far from being active, and nothing is as yet being done in anticipation of the next season. Prices remain without change. CORN.—BraunGHAN, AUGUST 22.—At this day's mar ket there was again a short supply of English wheat, about half of the new crop, which sold readily at a decline of ls. per quarter. Foreign neglected. Barley fully as dear, Fine oats wanted. Beans slow. Peas leas in request. The millers reduoed the retail price of dour 34. 4d. per sack. BitinTOL, ArGICST 22.—At our market to-day there was a good supply of English wheat, nearly all new, which sold at from 60e. for red to 66e. for white per 4961b5. Foreign quiet at Is. per qr. reduction. Some samples of new malt- ing barley were on show, the quality very secondary ; grinding in short supply, and, with a trifling demand, last week's values were about sustained. Oats steady ; new Irish tawny sold at 25e. 6d. to 265. per 3041b5. Indian corn inquired for, and quite as dear. Beans in buyers' favour. DEVIZES, AUGUST 22.—Wheat was in small supply to da but quite su ffi cient for demand, which was far from brisk. Prices, however, did not decline materially, although last week's figures were barely maintained. Other articles fetched a little more money. Best white wheat, 345. to 33a. 6cL • best rad ditto, 345. to 35a. 6d. ; other sorts, 30e. to 33:i. ; barley, 345. to 40a. • beans, 225. to 275. 6d. • peas, 21s. to 235. • vetches, lie. to 21s. ; rye, 16s. to li3s. 6d. • fi ne flour, 5 35. to 54a. ; best seconds, Va. to 50a. ; oats, 26i. to 335. MANCHESTER, AUGUST 22. —There was only a slender attendance at this day's market, and wheat met a limited slow sale at a decline of le. per qr. on English, and 2d. to 3d. per cental on foreign. A few samples of new English were exhibited, of fair quality, which sold at irre gular prices. Flour was namely inquired for. Oats and oatmeal were rather easier. English beans brought late rates, but Egyptian, and also Indian corn, were 6d. per qr. cheaper. NEWAILK, ArGrST ?I.—Harvest work is going on very steadily in this neighbourhood. At to-day's market the show of wheat was not large. Buyers purchased slowly, but the best samples made late priaes. Other kinds rather lower. Barley a little dearer, and in request for feed par peers. Oats and beans were held at full prices. NITIBURT, AUGUST 22.—We had a fair show of wheat this day, both old and new ; the trade excessively dull, and prices generally ls. to 2a. per qr. cheaper. Nothing doing in barley. Oats and beans a steady trade, and quite as dear as last week. IJIBILIDGE, ACOURT 22. —The supply of wheat to-day is mostly of new samples, which sell from 645. for red to 765. for the best white ; rye, 40s. to 42a. ; peas, 422. to ees. ; and new winter oats, 28.. per qr. EDIABURGH, Atrovar 21.—Al compared with last week wheat wee same on top, and le. up on average. Barley was :is. W. up on top, and L. Bd. up on average. Oats were 9d. up on top, and 2d. up on average. Beau were 6d. down on top, and : 1 / 4 1. down as average. Wheat, 60s. to 7 7 05. ; barley, Ms. to 425.; oats, 28s. to 39a. ; beans, 455, 525. CATTLE—Brurntatur, Luoore 2t —There was an increase in the number of beasts on offer this day over Thursday last, for which there wee a fair demand at fully Tuesday's quotations. Sheep and lambs a good supply ; trade steady at late prices. Calves a moderate supply ; no alteration in prices. Fat pigs a fair time of year supply. Beef, 64d. to 71d. per lb. ; mutton, 6d. to 70. ; veal, 6d. to 7 !. d. , bacon pigs, Bs. to 9s. 9d. per score ; pocket pigs, 9...6d. to 10s. Biutrror., Acura 22.--We had a moderate supply of beef of very good quality, but owing to the continued heat of the weather trade was dull, and there was not so much wanted. Beat descriptions realised from 70e. to 725., and secondary and inferior samples from 63e. to 665. per cwt. of store cattle there was a very short supply, the dealers' con. Ugnmente from Ireland being considerably under the aver. age, owing to the demand having fallen off very much during the past week or two. There was a rather slow sale, the stock on offer, comprising lea, than one thousand animal,, was entirely cleared. The supply of milch cows was rather larger, and trade was more active at a slight advance in prices, which ranged from 141. to 201. We had a very large supp ly of sheep and lambs, for both of which there was a moderately active demand—best wetbers sell ing at 7d. per lb., and an average figure for both mutton and lamb being from bid. to 7d. ; prices on the whole showed a downward tendency. The trade in store sheep showed a slight improvement, but prices were still in favour of the buyer. The supply of pigs was rather short, bat it proved enough for the demand, and our quotations for both bacon and porkers were from 9a. 6d. to 10e. per score, this being a slight advance on late rates. We had a small, though good, show of horses, and trade was rather brisk, and prices firm. NOTTINGHAM AVOUST 21.—We bad a prett y fair show of beasts, which sold at from Bs. to 9s. per stone for best quality, and for second ditto, from 88. to Bs. 6d, There were not gaits so many sheep offered as last week, and there was a slow sale, prices being from Cd. to 74. per lb. and for second Dora, from 6d. to tild. lamb was sold a t On same prices. Veal made from 64d. to 7d. per lb. Wednesday : Beasts, 208; calves, 4 ; sheep, 920 ; pigs, 11. EDINBUIIGH, Aueiner 21.—The number of cattle this morning was 283, being 49 more than on this day se'nkight. The demand was good, and prices were higher than what were obtained last week. Top pries of the best beef, 9s. 6d. ; current, Ba. 9d. to 9a. 3d., and down to Bs. per stone. The number of sheep and lambs was 6,727, being 394 less than last market. MS demand was good, conse quently prices for both sheep and lambs were higher, par ticularly the latter. Best mutton, fild. to 7d. ; ewes, 4.4. per lb. Limbs—Top prices, 275. to 28e. 6d.; current for the beet meets, 181. to 211 s. ; blackfaced, Be. to 13e. a bead.

But this, be it remembered, is the to day of free England, and the characters are all white men, nominally the masters of their own movements and the owners of their labour:—" Two agricultural labourers, named Ephraim Beetle and Thomas Hennah, were on Friday summoned before Mr. Gully, county magistrate at St. Austell, Cornwall, for unlawfully absenting themselves from their master's service. The defendants were com mitted to gaol for one month with hard labour, and in de fault of paying the costs of the prosecution, to fourteen days' further imprisonment." Under such laws trades unions may perhaps be so:minted for, and their 132091111011 partially excused. No wonder that reform cries aloud for a remedy, and the people demand power to free them selves from the remaining influence of feudalism,which punishes so slight an offence—if o ff ence it may be alled— with so extreme a penalty.—Boston Adrerliaer, August 7. THE HUMBER IRONWORILB.-021 Thursday, Mr. Horsey, of the firm of Fuller and Horsey, auctioneers, London, offered for sale by auction, at the Station Hotel, Hull, thiilbuildinp and land belonging to the Humber Iron works Company. There was • numerous company present, but none of the tie large lota offered were or even bid for.

Steam fishing boats are being introduced into some of the Scotch fisheries. The object of the promoters of the innovation is to send deep-sea fish to the markets on the day during which they are taken. Should the spe tem become general, • vast occupation will be completely revolutionised. The inventors do not as yet propose to cast the nets or bait the hooks by steam power, but con. fine their auxiliary aid to propelling the boat. FALL FROM A Dona.—A shocking accident hap pened on Tuesday evening to a young man employed in Compion-house, Liverpool.
