HAI:VAST HOME Al RRDHILL REIORWATOEY. The harvest home festival of the philanthropic society's institution, Redhill, took place yesterday, and Wing to the extreme fineness of the weather, which attracted a large number of visitors, it cured off moat llucces+ 11, Hy. 17p to the time the society left St. George. Fields. Southwark, about 1,400 young persons re ceived an industrial training in Its manufactory, where they were taught such employments as shoemaking, rope and twine making, carpentry, box snaking, ac., and since the streaky has devoted itself to agricultural pursuits no Ina than 1, 2 929 boys have been admitted. Of them 800 have emigrated, and $63 have been discharged to gait , • livelihood by honest industry. Wheu it is remembered that to be eligible for admission every nue of these boys must have been convicted of crime, and bearing in mind the clan from which they spring, and the fact that but 20 per cent. of those that have been discharged in this country have been re-convicted, and only 7 per cent. of the emigrants. it must be admitted that the moral results attained by the establishment of the institution have been very great, while the advantage gained by society at huge can hardly be over estimated. At present there are in the school about 2.'H, all fine healthy boys. They are employed in farming 300 'scree of as fine and beautifully situated land as any in Surrey. The appearance of the farm sufficiently proved the pains and care taken in its cultivation, and it is gratifyiug to state that the net surplus profit realised last year was 1,29 re , which, applied to the reduction of the cost per bead, reduced that item to 10i. ee. ed., the lowest point yet attained. The education and religious instrucion of the boys is under the affectionate and fostering care of the Rev. C. Walters, a worthy successor, as resident chaplain, to the rev. Sidney Tureen The boys are domiciled in five homes, each under the superintendence of a master, so that they have all the advantages of • home. One of the greatest difficulties which the chaplain has to encounter is the ignorance of the boys when admitted, and on this point he says : " If the educational condition is Rower then in former years, this is owing not to any lack of diligence on the master.' part, but rather to the deplorably ignorant state of so many now admitted, which, considering their age, can be but partially remedied during their stay here. Our statistics on this point, both from town and rural districts, remote from one another and very different in character. certainly furnish ample proof how miserable is the edu cation of the labouring poor in many parts of this country. We have now in the school 112 boys, who, when re ceived, did not even know the alphabet, and considering that of those received in the last years very nearly one half (121 out of 206) were above 14 years old at admission timid many of them among the most igno rant), it will he seen how much more arduous than in former years the elementary teaching now is, and bow narrow a margin is left for schooling with lads of so advancied age, if habits of honest manual labour are to be formed, and the moralising influences of outdoor employment are to be duly enjoyed." The actual remits of last year have been as follows :—" $5 boys were discharged, viz., 1$ emigrated to Canada East, 48 left at the end of their 'several terms, viz., 29 to employ ment or service, 7 to sea, 2 to the army, 17 to their friends; 10 went on license to employment, 2 died in the school, 1 aont to penal servitude for theft while a deserter, I deserted end not yet recovered, 5 by warrantobtained from the Hume Secretary, viz., 3to sea, 1 to the army, 1 on account of disease. Hence our numbers stand as follows : —ln the school, December 31, 1865, 242 ; urinated in 18116, 111-353 ; discharged, as above, in hill, 85 ; is the echoed, December 31, 1866, 268. There were 8 boys still on license, December 31; 1 license was revoked in the year; 117 have been discharged on license in the but ?years. In 13 eases the license has been revoked." The committee have had many obstacles to struggle with, but still they arc enabled to report that during the coup of their operations at Redhill, they have succeeded in re claiming at least 7u per cent , o f the class of juvenile criminals entrusted to their charge. Yesterday was a general holiday at the farm. A large body of visitors arrived at one o'clock. and were hospitably entertained at luncheon in the resident chaplain's house. By two o'clock all the inmates mustered in the farm meadow, and proceeded in procession, beaded by the hied of the school, to the chapel, where a thanksgiving service was perfonnetL The service opened with Dean Alford's Harreet Hymn, which was sung by the boy. on entering the chapel. At the close of the service a very appro pria te harvest sermon was preached by the Rev. C. B. Jackson, of Northwood, Sto ke-upon -Trent, from Deu teronomy 16, 12th and two following verses. After the service the whole company adjourned to the farm meadow, where the boys indulged in • series of games. The afternoon thus merrily spent, a substantial supper was served to the boys in the spacious and handsome hall which has recently been erected on the suggestion of the resident chaplain as alribute to the memory of the late Mr. Melon, who was so ardent a friend to the institution, and whose lees the com mittee deeply deplore. After supper Mr. Gladstone (of Broad-street, City) made an address to the boy. and to the company generally, in which he dwelt with justi fi able pride upon the success which the institution had attained and the good it bad achieved. An able address was also made by the resident chaplain, and agricultural and indus trial prizes were distributed to such of the boys as by their superior merit bail fairly earned' them. Prizes were also given for cleanliness and order, progress in the school, exemplary behaviour, and general good conduct. In the intervals between the distribution of the diffe rent classes of trims the boys sang various songs. The national anthem gave the signal for breaking up, and brought the proceedings of a happy day to a close. PEACE MOVEMENT. A meeting of working men was held at Hit mingl,litui, on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of adopt ing en address to the people of France and Germany in the interests of peace ;" Mr. Alderman &TAGS presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said—This movement was the more gratifying, as it seemed to be going on mainly among the working classes. It was to be Loped thatthey would not much longer consent to be wade food for powder for the gratification of the ambition of the ruling class. As soon as ever they pleased, unitedly, they might put an end to war. To illustrate the burden of war on the resources of a country, he might mention that the war asses in England in the present time of peace amounted to wore than • shilling • week for every man, woman, and child in the country. But this was not aIL The loss of the labour of those withdrawn from useful industrial occupations for purposes of war was greater than the direct expense. It was one of the beautiful provisions of Providence that one working man found work for another, and one idle man caused another to be idle. Anything they could do to encourage this movement on the continent it was their duty to do, and by sending an address from Birmingham he hoped some little good might be done. Mr. ARTHUR read SA address, which was pre pared by Mr. Elihu Burritt. Mr..l. S. WRIGHT, President of the Chamber of Com merce, moved the adoption of the address. He hoped (he said) that the people of Birmingham would do all they could to assist this movement, which had been begun on the Continent during the last few months. It might, he said, be • small and compara tively uninliuential movement at present, but they had had lessons enough not to despise the doing of small things. (Hear, hear.) This was • most remarkable age, viewed from any standpoint. Io Paris at present there was the most perfect exhibition of the products of art and in-1 dastry ever brought together. But the prominence given there to implements used for the destruction of mankind was most remarkable. A cannon was the most conspicuous object in the Exhibition, and the most remarkable of the English contributions were from the War Department. Probably 30,000/. had been taken from the taxes of this country to send over to France specimens of everything used in England for the purposes of war, to taunt the nations, by proclaiming how powerful England was for the destruction of mankind. The people should look after these things, and they should remember that powerful armies had ever been used to repress the aspirations of peoples and crush their liberties. (Hear, hear.) No na tion with a large standing army could ever take its proper position as • nation of free men. He gave the results of calculations to show the bankruptcy and misery caused by the enormous standing armies maintained in Europe. The people were taxed to the uttermost, and yet the govern ments were spending more than they could get from the people, and were thus running mere deeply in debt every year, and laying by stores of misery for future generations. The expenditure of France was 87.000,01,01. sterling per annum—seven millions more than her in come ; and he reckoned that the 6,000,0001. spent on the fortifications of Cherbourg would alone have supplied every great town in France with pure water and gas free for ever. Every family in England in the present time of peace was paying, on an average, 4s. • week for debts created by past wars. and for the maintenance of the pre sent armaments. lie could not help thinking that one of the test questions treated by the reformed parlia ment would be the military and naval expenditure— (applause)—cod if not, he should think the country had gained but little by reform. (Hear, hey.) But they must not depend exclusively upon their representatives in parliament. The people must bestir themselves. Ministers, peers, and members of the House of Commons could very well afford their share of the taxes, but to the work. big classes the question of war taxation was a question of bread. (Hear, hear.) There was hope when the people of England, France, and Germany were beginning to take the matter up sincerely, But England must speak with no uncertain sound. Meetings must be held—not little meetings in little rooms like that—but such meetings as were recently held in the Brooklields. (Cheers.) 'Bir mingham had inaugurated some movements before; might it be theirs to urge onward the glorious movement which had for its object the benefit of mankind, the elevation of the working classes throughout Europe, and the ennobling of the rue. God grant the time might soon come. (Ap plause.) The Hee. H. C. LEONARD seconded the motion, which woe carried, and the address adopted. BURY Si. EDMUNDS AND TM:I7OIRD RAILWAY.— The directors of this company here resolved to proceed with a portion of the line involving the heaviest work at Tintworth and Ingham. Mr. the company's engi neer, has been instructed to prepare plans, so that One execution of the section may be submitted to public oom• petition. TEE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING,* SEPTEMBER TRADES OUTRAGES COMMISSION. MANCHESTER, Syn. 4. The commissioners appointed under the Trades Unions Commissions Act, 1567, "to inquire into any acts of intimidation, outrage, or wrong alleged to have been promoted, encouraged, or connived at by trades' unions or Emaciation., whether of workmen or employes, in the town of Manchester and its neighbcurhood, and us to the causes of such acts, and of the complicity of trades' unions or associations," commenced their sittings in the Assize-courts here this morning, at eleven o'clock. The commissioners are—Mr. P. A. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. T. J. Barstow, and Mr. G. Chance. In opening the commission, Mr. Pickering said these investigations were not intended to benefit the masters only, but the workmen. He needed hardly to say that it would be the desire of the commission to con duct their inquiry in a fair and impartial spirit towards all parties concerned. The object of the legislature was fully to inquire into and elicit information so to the working of trades' unions, not out of any spirit of hostility or with any wish to tyrannise. He thought no one could deny the benefit of trades unions or other associations of the kind,where men associated together for lawful purposes, and endeavoured , to accomplish their objects by lawful means. They were highly useful so long as their object was to protect the rights of labour in a proper and lawful manner, and it I was only when they went beyond that and attempted to intimidate, coerce, and control others engaged equally lawfully in protecting their own rights that they incurred and merited the condemnation of every just and honour able mind. He therefore hoped that they should meet with the ready assistance of both masters and workmen in endeavouring to carry out the objects of this commis• lion, and that their efforts might tend to assist in putting an end to that social tyranny which, while it was produc tive of injury to the employers, was also productive of equal evil to the working men. He expressed a hope that both masters and men would freely come for ward and tender any information within their knowledge tending to forward the objects of the commission, and said they would be tbankul of any suggestions. He observed that the coinmisaion had the power to compel the attend ance of witnesses to give evidence, while, at the same time they had power to give certificates where persons lied made full disclosures of outrages in which they had participated, which would shield them from any legal consequences. The best atonement such men could make for having taken part in such outrages would be to make the fullest dis closures respecting them in their power. The first witneu, examined by Mr. Pickering, was Thomas Meadows, who said he and his brother were master brickmakers, at Stockport. In 11104 he was in busi ness with his brother at Redditch, near Stockport. They employed about 100 men, of whom 24 were union men. Moat of the latter belonged to the Stockport lodge of the union, and the others to the lodge at Oldham. About June, 1864, the workmen had been working there several months,and had earned 30s. to 501. per week. We altered the shape of the bricks to fit a hand machine, by which we sewed about 10d. per 1,000 bricks. The workmen thought we ought to give them the led. Some of the union men made this proposition. One of them was John Jackson and another William Potts. There were half a douen altogether, sod they came in the morning. George Bailey was another of the men. There were eight out of the whole that made bricks. Jackson and Potts were the spokesmen. They said we might make the bricks if we gave them the led. I offered them 6.1. and they refused and turned out. Three of them, Wild and Fellows, of Stockport, and an Oldham unionist came beck in about three weeks at the fad. advance. They turned out in June and came back in July. Three weeks after the turn out I had taken some non union men, and then three of the unionists offered to come back at fad. if we would turn off the non-union men. We refused, and they hail a meeting at Stockport. About '2l came hack at the rid. after this meeting. I re member the 2nd of August. It was Wild's duty to be up turning. Child also was usually up late at night and early in the morning. It was not the duty of Fellows to be up that night. About one o'clock in the morning I was aroused by the wife of Wild and I went to his house and he was in his bed with his legs and arms badly hurt. Wild did not say then how it happened. He could scarcely speak. There were two or three women there. I saw Chas. Wallworth and another man whom I sent in Wild's place. It was the duty of Wild to be there at night, but no one else. Child was there when he liked. Cheatham and Slater were apprehended and tried for this. I was asked by William Putts, last year, to sign a petition for commutation of sentence. I said, "No." °thermals° aaked, and they weremcetly union men. Wild wasill of his wounds some time, but worked with us afterwards for five or sit months. All the 21 men came and worked with us afterwards. I judged that Wild left us through terror. Remember discharging some men afterwards for being away drinking. It was in 1864. I was asked to take them back, and did so, because we could not get any one else. When engaged in a building afterwards the bricksettere turned out because I and my brother set • brick. The men told us we should have to pay 21. les. before they could come back. I paid it in about three weeks, and they did not come back till after that. We paid the money on the understanding that it should be paid back if we were not in the wrong. It has not been paid back. They also demanded 21. 10e. from the con tractor, but he left us sooner than pay it. Their objec. tion is that no one who is not a bricksetter shall be allowed to set a brick. The brick I set was in the key of the door arch. It is a general rule that they invite us to set a brick and then expect a treat of half-a-crown or so for it. The men had a meeting, and asked us to pay 16s. 6d., which we refused, and they then raised the fine to 2/. les. During the last strike we were prevented getting bricks any/where else for over • fortnight. We tried to get them at Rredshaw's, Ludlow's. Holt and Anderson's, and two or three others, and we were unable. We did not lose any contract, because we were erecting a building of our own. The people we applied to said they would not be allowed to supply us. Thomas Wild, brickburner, said in 11104 he was working for Mixers. Meadows. He was a contribution man, paying a shilling a week for being allowed to work, but having no benefit from the union. He remembered leaving his work because he did not like the men throwing their slack (abuse). He was paid Os. a day for his work. After being on strike five weeks he and Child and Fellows went in again. He was burning bricks on the night he returned. Child should have been there pressing and John Whittaker should have been kiln-wheeling, but he was there alone. He was attacked about 12 o'clock by six men. One came up and asked for him and his mate to lay down. That was William Slater. There were five other men, and the second was Cheetham. Witness proceeded—l have never been told who were the other four. Cheetham struck me with a cart leg and Slater pulled me down, and then some hit me and some kicked me. I struggled away about 30 yards, and I asked them to have mercy. One of them said I should burn no more bricks. When they left me I had my right arm broken in several places, end I was cut on the shin and leg. I was five or mix weeks at the Stockport infirmary. Chest ham and Slater were tried here, convicted, and sent to 20 years' penal servitude. Cheetham and Slater are now at large. I was asked to sign • memorial in their favour. I do not know why they beat me in this brutal manner, but suppose it was because I had returned to work before the others. Slater was a union man, and " a big man among 'em." I was pressed many a time to sign a memorial in Cheetham's favour, by Humphrey Holum, Wm. Potts, Humphrey Child, George Brown, end several others. That was before I left Redditch, and more than two years ago. I refused to Agri many a time, and Hum phrey Heinle reckoned it would be worth 20/. to me if I signed and said I did not know them. Potts and his wife were there. That was the second time they had asked me. I said it was inure than I durst do. They said the paper had come from London from Mr. Watkin when they ' salted me to sign, and said it would do no harm, When I did sign they gut me to go to a public-house. IA paper was produced signed by Potts, Joseph Brown, and Holme, in which they promised, on condition of his signature, to reinstate him to the benefit of the union, and pay him 51.] I saw this paper at the public-house where they took me. It was at the Swan Inn, at Dunsgate. They told me I was to sign a paper to may I did not know the men. I would only sign it in front of • lawyer, and I went and signed it at the office of Mr. Andrews, in Deans gate. This is not the paper, but is a copy of the paper I signed, which was to go to London. I put my cross on the paper, and afterwards saw it in the office of Mr. Watkin, at London-road. (The memorial, which was raid by the clerk, admitted on the part ef Wild that he might have been mistaken in the identity, though he did not think he was, of the men who had been convicted. It also stated that one of them was very kind to him during his illness.) I never bad any doubt that Slater and Cheetham were two of the men who beat me, and have none now, and I should never have signed that paper but for the promises made me by Potts and other.. Humphrey Holme and Slater's wife took me to Mr. Wat kins office. They wished me to go again, and say that I I did not know the men, but I would n o t. Mr. Watkin only said he thought the paper would do a deal of good, and asked me if I had been badly hurt. Mr. Within asked me if I was sure these were the men, and I said I was. I left Redditch because I was afraid I should be attacked for basing given evidence at the assizes, and went to live at Regent-road, Salford, where the panels of the door were kicked out. The unioa men had not threatened me or molested me at my work. I bad i een a contribution man to the ution, and paid a shilling a week. They would not let me be a member. Mrs. Sarah Will, wife of the last witness, remembered his being assaulted on the 2nd August, 11164. Heard him calling out and went to him. Found his arm bleeding. He was at the bottom of the steps of his house door. He was insensible all night. It was nearly five o'clock in the morning before a policeman could be seen. Did not hear what was the name be gave the policeman as that of the man who had done it. His arm was broken, and his head had been affected ever since. His leg was cut. He was in the infirmary five or six weeks. Re membered Cheetham and Slater's conviction. Remem bered a paper being brought at the Christmas after the conviction (or her husband to sign. Slater's and Chest. ham's wives and several men came with the paper. Did not recollect having seen any of the men before or since. They took him to Mni. Taylor's beerbonee in Redd i tela Wit ness followed them to ascertain what they wanted with him. He bad grown very forgetful. They asked him to sign a paper. As neither he nor she could read, she got s young 1 man la %delta to read it over ward times. liar hue. band then refused to sign. As near as she could recol lect, the words in the paper were :—" I, Thomas Wild, have committed these men wrongfully. Had I to do it again, I would not do it. I have been compelled by • neighbour." Witness fetched a policeman, who said her husband would have got into trouble. Any paper he signed must be signed at the polies-office. Wherever witness and her husband were living they were followed by people who wanted him to sign a paper. No threats were need at the public-house. Afterwards when she and her husband had removed to Manchester, fresh attempts were made to induce them to sign. They removed partly in fear of injury, and partly lest her husband should be induced to do something illegal in regard to signing. In Manchester the object was to induce him to sign a petition to shorten the term of pun. iahment. Ultimately • petition was signed by him which had first been read over at the office of Mr. Andrews, a solicitor. It was signed on the understanding that, while it set forth that he could not be mistaken as to the men's identity, he was willing to have their punishment shortened. At a public-house W. was given " for his day's work" in signing this paper, and to cover some of his ex penses while out of work. The money was given to wit ness. (Laughter.) They also promised to take him back into the union, but had not done so. When he went to Oldham trying to get work, the men put their jackets on and left as soon as they saw him. William Singleton, of Portwood, was the next witness. He is a member of the Stockport union of brickmakers. The day preceding this inquiry was the day for the quarterly election of officers of the union, and witness was made treasurer. The office was only held for three months at • time, and the retiring officer was not re-eligible till after I the ensuing quarter. Witness had been several times treasurer since 184;2. Being closely questioned as to the system on which the treasurer made payments, the wit ness made no more distinct reply than that he paid ac cording to the book of rules. From his answers it could not be gathered that the question of payment to anybody was ever submitted to • meeting of union members. He paid money to members who came and asked for it under the rules—sometimes for being out of work, sometimes for doing work for the society, and sometimes as • reward for being an efficient member. The accounts were audited every quarter. The secretary kept the book, witness being "no scholar." The president was not changed at the same time as the treasurer. The present presi dent is Mr. Wm. Slater, who was elected the first quarter day after he caine out of prison. Slater was once presi dent in 1864. Witness was pressed as to whether he had himself been treasurer in that year, but could not remem ber. Ultimately he remembered he was • " district man," whose duty was to "take a few yards," and look after the men. The payment for this duty was lid. a quarter. The dispute with Meadows in 181$4 was discussed at the fortnightly meeting of the union. Slater was treasurer, and Chatham president, when they were imprisoned. Witness was in bed the night of the attack on Wild. He was very much pressed to say whether he could not re member some meeting or consultation at which he was present, the day of the attack, or the day before, but he gave no direct reply, except that he could not remember anything like • meeting, unless it were a talk among the men who were working in adjoining fields on the night before. Mr. Pickering read over to the witness the words of the act of parliament, the threat of imprisonment if there were not a full disclosure, and the assurance of in demnity if full disclosure were made. Witness was then able to recollect that among the men who talked together were several whose names he repeated. Stpurttns interngenct. WARWICK SEPTEMBER RACES. After the races on Tuesday, • violent thunderstorm burst over the town of Warwick, the lightning flashing vividly, loud peals of thunder succeeding each other with a rapidity quite appalling. When • perfect deluge of rain had fallen, and completely flooded the streetajthe violence of the storm abated, but throughout the night the sky was lit up with brilliant flashes of sheet lightning, render ing the surrounding landscape as visible as in daylight. Wednesday morning was fine the atmosphere being de liciously cool and refreshing, but by the time the racing commenced the sun shone with great power, the afternoon being close and oppressive. A tremendously large com pany again assembled on the course, the grand stand being crowded, but as on Tuesday the ring was but thinly at tended. Racing commenced at one o'clock with the Scurry Handicap, and concluded with a three-quarters of a mile sweepstakes at • quarter to five ; but, with the exception of the Cup, the races were of but passing interest, requiring no allusion here. Although the Cup brought out but four runners, the race was looked upon with great interest, with such animals as Comers, Moulsey, and Goodwood to contend, Miss Have lock being started for the obvious purpose of making run ning for her stable companion, Gomera. The Duke of Beaufort's mare almost monopolised the betting, odds of 2 to 1 being freely laid on her at theclose ; bat 100 to 30 was taken to some money about Moolsey. Goodwood received some substantial support at 6 to Iby his owner, trainer, and those who remembered his clever victory over Moulsey and a good field in the Huntingdon Cup. On that occa sion he met Lord Bateman's horse at 391 b. ; but in this instance only 301 b. was the difference between the relative weights they carried. The race is fully described below, and it will be there seen that Goodwood won cleverly by half a length from Comers, Moulin) , being beaten • long way. On returning to weigh in, Comers was objected to for not carrying the proper weight, she being penalised 51b. for winning the Stewards' Cup at Brecon last year; and on this being found to be correct, she was disqualified, and Moulsey was placed second, thus obtaining the 25 soya. for the second horse. The error in Gomera's weight was first detected by Mr. Thomas Hudson, of Birmingham, who immediately in formed the Duke of Beaufort of it. His grace, however, could not satisfy himself by a reference to the calendar till it was too late to remedy the mistake. The conditions of the Cup were somewhat calculated to mislead on a casual glance ; they have, therefore, undergone a supervision, and will in future be much simplified. The three last races resulted in head victories, and it is worthy of notice that the clever light weight, Butler, won no less than five out of the eight events, on Lily, King's Cross, Goodwood, Dia mond, and Python. Daring the afternoon the betting on the coming St. Leger was brisk in comparison to that of the previownisy. Hermit would have been backed at 6 to 4, but bookmakers would not advance upon sto 4. Achievement was almost friendless at 7to 4, but a shade over those odds would have been taken to any amount of money. Vauban rallied considerably, and 1000 to 60 was taken about him, followed by two or three 100 to 6's, and finally 1500 to 100 was booked. In addition to these outlays, 120 to 100 was laid on the son of Muscovite against his stable companion, Challenge. Good wood's victory in the Cup had, however, a reassuring effect on Challenge, as it will be remembered the latter defeated him easily in the Queen's Plate at Lewes. The Marquis of Heating, took 25 " monkies" about his horse, and followed that up by accepting 2500 to 100, and two 1000 to 40's, which finally left Challenge in the quotations at 1000 to 45, which was taken to several small amounts. Fervacques was the medium of some speculation at 23 to 1, and 1000 to 40 was taken in one bet. Marks man was backed at the forlorn odds of 1000 to 12, yet notwithstanding 50 to 3 was taken about him for • place. D'Estournel found a solitary friend at 1000 to 5. The Derby was scarcely touched upon, the only transac tions coming under our notice being 50 to 1 about The Earl, taken to several " tenners." During the morning the stewards considered the objection against Vampire, who won at Oxford, and the protest was immediately over. ruled, the evidence being insufficient to maintain it. Appended is a full return of the day's proceedings : Tai SCURRY HANDICAP of 10 soya each, h ft, for all ages. About three furlongs.

The latter, however, soon rave way, Pauline and Bliss going on in clan attendance on the leadinf pair. At the distance Lily took up the running, and won in a canter by three lengths, a similar distance separating second and third, while Lily was fourth, a head only in rear of Pau line. Skylight was fifth, and Brown Tommy last Verity whipped round when the flag fell, and wee left at the post.

No variation occurred until reaching the three. quarters of • mile post, where Miss Havelock dropped away to the rear, leaving Gement with the lead, followed by Goodwood and Moulsey, the pair gradually closing with the favourite as they approached the turn into the straight, on quitting which :doubt, was beaten.

Moulsey cantered in many lengths in rear, and Miss Havelock walked back to the saddling enclosure.

The proceedings of the National labour Congress at Chicago are calculated to leave an erroneous impression upon the public mind. They magnify " the rights of labour" and dwarf its duties. Perhaps a notice of some recent strikes may tend to correct this error. In glancing at the mistakes and blunders of trades unions, it is not necessary to go far back. Even the eight-hour movement, the failure of the Chicago strikes, the failure of the strikes in the ship-building trade in New York, and the complete ruin of that business, and hundreds of similar cases in both the Old World and the New, may be passed over as stale, or as too well-known to call for notice. As it might be supposed that the leaders of the so-called working men had lately grown wiser, we will refer only to the West in stances of the disastrous contests they have led. In the beginning of last January about 7,000 men con nected with the iron works in and around Pittsburg struck for higher wages. They demanded 9 dole. per ton for • certain class of work. Their employers simply refused to pay so much. For several months this branch of intl= was at a standstill. At last • compromise was a upon, but at reduced wages ; the workmen agreed to take 8 dole. per ton after August 17. It is estimated that the amount of wages lost by the men engaged in this strike amounted to 2,850,000 dols. The loss to the country from this affair was probably not less than 5,000,000 dole. Both parties may have erred in this case. The facts, how ever, just stated warrant the conclusion that the trades unions of Pittsburg deserve most blame for this heavy loss. Again in March last, the coalminers at LaSalle, 11l struck for • champ in rules. They objected to the use of gratings ore which to discharge coal, and which were used to facilitate the measuring of "slack." They wanted the mine-owners to stick to the old plan of estimating the quantity of " slack " by guess. The latter refused. Work ceased im mediately, and both parties have been sitting looking at each other in idleness for the past four months. Within • few days past they have commenced to talk of compro mise upon some system of co-operation. Whether this plan be carried out or not, it is certain that every person connected with the strike has lost several hundred dollars by it. To show how the Miners' Union of La Salle was managed, it is said that it had a rule that no man should raise more than four tons of coal a day. Of course men who put in themselves this strait-jacket law are not I very likely to yield anything or admit that they have done wrong. To all unprejudiced outsiders, however, it must be evident that such men need a lesson, not so much about their rights as about the duties they owe to their families and to their country. Work is a very important duty which they neglected. It is aaid that 400 miners were out "in this case, and that the losses will amount to 200,000 dollars. This sum is large enough to buy the land and to open half-a-dozen coal mines, such as were lying unused, and to equip them with all necessary machinery. A th ud recent case is that of the printers in Detroit, Mich. The compositors on one of the papers in that city struck in the beginning of this month. The printers' union wished another newspaper publisher to take on the strikers. This was objected to, and immediately all the men connected with the union sopped work. This occurred August 8. The inconvenience caused to the publishers appears to have been of short duration, and they will pro bably be able to carry on their business without complying in the least with the demands of their employes. The loos to the printers in this affair must be considerable, and to the publishers almost nothing. The case is no t an im portant one to the public ; but it is mentioned as the latest illustration of the folly of all attempts to maks • living, or to control other people in tasking their living, by strikes and standing idle. The strike itself may be good or bad ; it is the idleness and other crimes which gene rally follow the strike that inflict certain and serious injuries upon the community. The delegates to Chicago, and the orators of trades unions generally, may not do any very great harm by merely talking about " the rights of labour." In some cases considerable good may be done by such talk. But it should never be forgotten that the necessities, the duties, and the pmctieabilities of labour are as important and necessary, in their places, as its " rights." Organizations which P)ant themselves firmly on their rights alone are one egged concerns, ready to topple over at any moment. Whether the National Labour Congress is • concern of thin sort, the future will soon determine. If its members and all the persons under its influence will attend con stantly to the duties which the, owe to themselves, their familiefs and the country, there will be little, if any, reason to complain of losses by strikes, work will take the place of voluntary idleness, and co-operation will supply the want of individual capital. A CoMmtneirr Or NATIONR.LTS is true that freedom is a condition indispensable to the object in view; but to familiarise men's mind, with that object is in itself to supply them with a powerful lever for the acquisition of freedom. The first serious blow to nationalism was dealt by free trade, which gave for the first time a common in terest to nations, and taught them that whatever might be the result of human arrangement., nature abhorred their antagonism. In order that the minds of men might re ceive the idea of political union it was necessary that commercial enmity should cease. The possession of vital interests in common leads them in the first place to pause before they coins to blows, and in the next place to coo. eider whether there must not be some signal and fatal de fect in a system which arms ever community to the teeth against its neighbour, and supplies them with no court of appeal but the CODDOD'S mouth, and no arbitrator but the sword. Free trade, then, is progressing ; currency it may be hoped will at no distant time be assimilated; not long ago a great congress representing the working men of all nations met in the capital city which was of all others the I most appropriate for their meeting; and men have turned to see what can be done to remove a difficulty which is serious, but which the example of Switzerland shows not to be fatal—that of language. Above all, in England, upon which so much of the world's future depends, the spirit of freedom is abroad, has recently gained a victory, and will I not rest (we may hope) until its triumph is complete. It cannot be long before • neighbouring and rival nation shakes itself free from the charge of unfitness for self- I government ; and, when that is done, more than half the battle of freedom will have been won. Beyond the Atlan tic the cause is secure. So long as that great people, whose greatness has been shown by recent events to rest on a foundation which no hurricane can shake, possesses almost a monopoly of real political liberty, the idea of a common polity for civilised men can assume for it no practical form. —Macmillan's Magazine for September.

Augusta Awe Mitchell , 22, a respectable-looking woman, was placed at the bar. The prisoner, who has not long been in London, fell in with • groom, and after a little persuasion consented to live with him, and for five weeks did so as his wife. The groom left a 51. note and some gold in his room, which she took out and appropriated to her own use. He met her upon the Metropolitan Railway with the money in her possession. In her defence the prisoner said she thought that as she had been living with him as his wife she had a certain amount of right to use his money. She bad only spent a few shillings of it, and did not intend to deprive him of it, when be gave her into custody. At the trial she was not defended by counsel, and the jury found her guilty. She then told the court a long tale about her relations, and the bad example set her by her mother, who when she came to London re ceived a large sum of money which had been left to her. Her mother had decamped with a villain who had seduced her (the mother). The judge upon the day of the trial ordered Mr. Lockyer, the sessions officer, to make inquiries into the matter, and that person has been actively engaged in doing so for the last three weeks. The case having been called on, Lockyer said that, obedient to the orders of the court, he had seen the prisoner, and she had given him the addresses of her friends, of whom he had made inquiries. The following was • letter be had received from her grand father at Warminster (the letter was handed into court and read by the learned judge). It was as follow. Warminster, August 28.--Sir,—Your letter to band this morning containing the statements of Augusta Ann Mitchell, which is a correct one of, I regret to say, a granddaughter, who was taken hence by her mother nearly seven years ago ; since which time a corn. plete severance has existed, the mother having come into possession of a considerable sum of money by the death of relatives, who, unfortunately (and hence the evil), left it to her own control. In the absence of her husband, then and now in Canada with his two sons, since sent over to him, as stated, she was seduced by the base and villanous fellow K—, and eloped with him, and thus digressed from that path of rectitude and respectability which she had been reared up and lived in previously. Her age (the prisoner's) at that time, the circumstances, and the temp. tations of London life for youth, I sincerely trust will combine to indium the judge to temper justice with mercy to the utmost of his power and the circumstances will admit. It appears to me that she may be the victim of circumstances, and I cannot but regret deeply that the law does not reach the seducer more fre quently, instead of the seduced and weaker sex. As to seeing her or writing to her, I am disinclined and unable to do so. Her degraded position is to my feelings most painful and harrowing, adding grief and sorrow to my fast declining years and strength. All other branches of my family are happily placed in highly respectable and good trading positions and circumstances, and I feel loth to acquaint them with it.—Yours truly, G. L.—Mr. G. Lockyer." The prisoner pleaded hard for mercy. The Judge said she had been guilty of • serious offence, and within his recollection she would have been banged for it. The sentence was eight months' imprisonment, with hard labour, and after the expiration of that sentence the benevolent ladies who visit the prison would no doubt do something for her. He regretted her grandfather would do nothing for her. The pawner was removed, apparently overcome with her fate. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. __— Williams Jackson, a comical looking fellow, was charged with begging. The prisoner, who had on the workhouse dress given to paupers who wilfully destroyed their clothing, was seen by • police-constable on London-bridge soliciting alms. Ile was recognised as a notorious beggar, and his feet are dreadfully deformed, and he was in the habit of ex hibiting this deformity for the purpose of creating compas sion. When he was taken to the police-station be tore his clothes into rags. The prisoner denied that he " solicited " alms, but he said he could not prevent people giving him money as be walked along the street. If anybody was to offer him half.a-crown, it was not likely but what be would take it. (Laughter.) Sir IL Carden •eked him wby he tore up his clothes. lie said it was because they were dirty. He added that he was not altogether pleased with his present suit, and he should like the old ones returned to The constable said they were nothing but rags. Sir R. Carden said he should send the prisoner for fourteen days to the House of Correction, and he told the constable to let him bare the remains of his clothes, and supply him with a needle and thread, so that he might mend them while he was in prison. (laughter.) William Pryer, a respectable - loo kin g l ad , was charged with stealing a cheque for 24/. odd, belonging to his employers, Messrs. Ashby and Co., printers, St. Swithin's lane. The prisoner had been for four year. in the service of the prosecutors, and on the 24th of August be was sent to the Consolidated Rank with a cheque for 241., for the purpose of paying wages, and he absconded with the amount. Nothing was beard of him until yesterday morning, when he was disoovervd to be in cus tody at the Southwark police-court, upon the charge of riding upon the South-Western Railway without paying his fare. It was stated that ow a previous occasion the prisoner bad been entrusted with some letters of importance to poet, and he tore off the stamps and threw the letters into the sewer, thereby causing considerable inconvenience. He was forgiven foe this gross act of misconduct, and not long afterwards be committed the present offence. Sir R. Carden told the prisoner his conduct had been very had indeed, and from his appearance he did not seem to feel the least regret. He would now be committed to Newgate for trial. An outrage, conjectured to be of an agrarian character, has occurred at Ballykeeran, county West meath. A number of men went at midni g ht t o the house of a fanner named Dianna, residing near the above village, and having enticed him out, by declaring that the house was on tire, beat him so severely that little hope is enter tained of his recovery. An outrage of a similar character is reported from Itallyluskin, county Tipperary. Two men have been arrested on suspi c ion o f being implicated in the last-mentioned outrage. In both eases the assailants had their faces blackened, so as to rendez identification • matter of difficulty, MARKE26.

We are in a position to announce that on Mooday next the line will be opened for the goods and merchandise tref6c. The first tram outward to London Will leave in the afternoon, quietly and without any parade or ostentatious display. Arrangements are made for taking from the Great Northern twelve trains in and twelve out each day. The passenger and a large portion of the mineral traffic will be provided for, as at present, on the Great Northern, until the communication with the Metropolitan is completed, which is expected to take place about the end of the year. Another very important ex tension of the Midland is now just completed. We refer to the Nuneaton branch, which will give to the Midland a connection between London and Birmingham practically so short as that by the London and North Western and Great Western Railways. This line leaves the Midland Vstem at Wigston, runs due west, crossing the Trent alley line at Nuneaton ' where it throws off a branch to Coventry, and then enters Birmingham on the north aide communicating with its existing Bristol and Birmingham ; line.—Railicas . . A Nzw SUBBIARIWE TELEGRAPH. —The project of a submarine telegraph to the Sandwich Islands Japan, and China is beginning to attract attention in Ca lifornia. The San Francisco Bulletin thinks it not only practicable, but certain of execution. It recalls the fact that some years ago the United States surveying schooner Feni more Cooper, Lieutenant Brooke, took soundings between the Farallones and Honolulu; and the surveying officer said that there would he less real difficulty in laying • cable from California to the Sandwich Islands than between Newfoundland and Ire land. About 301. miles west of the Golden Gate, and parallel with the Coast Range and Sierras, a submarine range of mountains was found, with an average depth of water on their tops of two miles. Beyond the submarine mountains mentioned the bed of the ocean was found to be • nearly level plateau to within a short distance of the Sandwich Islands. Brooke went from the islands to Japan, taking, as is supposed, deep-sea soundings all along the route—the data of which are believed to be still on file at Washington. UTILIZATION OP THE LIVERPOOL SEWAGE.—• The Liverpool Town Council, at their meeting yesterday, decided to take 500 shares of 10/. each (paid up), in the Utilization of Sewage Company, which has been estab lished to d istribute the town sewage of Liverpool—at present discharged into the docks—over the sandy district be tween Crosby and Southport.
