BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BATH, THETESDAY. The meetings of the various sections commenced this amarelag. Is SECTION A Professor COTLET, 3L.A., 'seals& Mr. Malabar read a paper on luminous meteors, and in it be described the number and brillisocy of the fire-balls that have appeared in the pest year, their height, the rapidity, sad the direction in which they have travelled. The following papers were also read :—"On possible con. nation between the elipticity and the general appearance of iks surface," by Professor flenoessey ; "On a suspected things in the lunar spot Werner , " be the Rev. T. W. Webb ; "Oe the importance of adoptiog methods for the &tactics of change in the moon's surface," by Mr. W. R. igirt ; "On the probability of constructing elipsoidal leams," by the Rev. T. Parlous ; "On the cohesion figures of liquids," by Mr. C. 'Tomlinson ; "On an easy mode of measuriog heights." by Mr. M. Moggridge ; and " On the earthquake and storm in Sussex on :ass. August, 1861." The section then adjourned SECTION B (CHEMICAL SCIENCE) waa held in the Corridor-rooms, sod was opened by an address from the pre &loot, Mr. W. OLDING, M. 8., F.R.S., F.C.S. He coign Misted the section on the presence of so many distinguished &owlets, and remarked with utisfaction on the timanimity et belief now obtained, and was pining increased peers lance among chemist.. Chemical notation, he said. wee in 38 :Mk but a satisfactory state. He trusted that, instead Itof the too great use of the sign of additions and the ordi nary algebraic sign', Dr. EtrOriti: ‘ who had been engaged for years pest in working out chemical noir.fOu Miens of formula instead of symbols, would not longer deal the pub lication of kis work. Soepticism—not the scepticism of dis content, but the scepticism that aspired to greater and greater knowledge—prevailed, and the state of chemical 111601:100 WAS marked by more than our ordinary rate of pro gress. (Cheers.) Dr. Gladstone's report of the committee on the application Si gun cotton to warlike purposed having been read, Dr. Miller read a letter from Mr. Prentice describing the blasting operation with gun ootton in Wales as being very suoceasful, and he gives the following table, showing the comparative weight of powder and gun cotton necessary for blasting : DIPHWSB QUARRY, No. 1, Fora.

Mr. Able then gave a brief account of the manufacture of gun cotton, and by experiments showed how gun cotton in a loose state burned instantaneously, and according to the tightness with which it was twisted into strands the cons. bastion became more gradual and regular. He explained that the combustion was the result of the gases given off by the beating of the cotton and by experiments in which be removed the gas, demonstrated the fact. Admiral Maury explained that whilst be could not desert his old friend gunpowder, there were many cases in actual warfare where the use of gun cotton would be preferable. Mr. Scott Russell, at considerable length, and with much detail, described its uses io mechanics 's a means of lilastinc se removing rock. He speed that for that purpose it bad six tunes she power of gunpowder, and was in every way its superior. He approved of the use of gun cotton for throw ing projectiles. Some further discussion ensued which tended to show that the general feeling of the meeting was, that in every qualifi cation but stability gun cotton is superior to powder. Dr. Danbeny read a short paper "On the Bath waters Dr. Paul "On the constituents of crude paraffin oil." Dr. Williamson announced that a meeting of deputies from several section. would take place to-morrow, at 11 o'clock, L the Assembly-rooms, to discuss the metric and decimal mime. The section then adjourned. SECTION C.-GEOLOGY. Professor Femurs presided o►er this section, and deli vered am immunaral address, for which we regret we are un able to fled room. Mr. W. Saunders gave a brief explan►tion of a geological nap of the neighbourhood of Bristol and Bath. Professor Phillips read a paper entitled "Meastiresof Geological Time by Natural Cluouceneters," with a com munication from M. Monet. _ _ Mr. H. C. Sorby gave a paper on the conclusion to be de- Awed from the physical structure of same meteorites. Yr. Woodward, described by means of diagrams, the sarypleiades, including some new species. Yr. H. C. Salmon read a paper on the geognostic rela tions of the auriferous quarts of Nova Sootis. F. Von Hauer gave a notice of the latest labours of the Imperial Geological Institute of the Austrian Empire. Sir R. Murchison read a note on the occurrence of the alone fossil plants in the Permian rocks of Weatmoreland and Durham. _ . ir. W. Peogelly read a long and very interesting paper es the changes of relative levels of land and sea in south. western Devonshire io connexion with the antiquity of naankind. HU researches have led him to the conclusion that there are proofs of human existetcs in times of higher antiquity, not only than that of the cavern bone-bed, but that of the Betvla Sara bed on Bovey plain. Man, he says, has witnessed an Arctic flora is Devonshire, has woo en gelphed rivers carry into caverns their osaeoua deposits, and en times touch lea ancient be may have collected shellfish ea the old beaches cow thirty feet above the reach of the highest tide, and hunted the mammoth in a forest over which our largest ships of war now rode at anchor. The paper was very well received sod elicited some eon esnation. in which Mr. Symoada, Mr. Porkies. and Mr. Smyth took part, all of whom agreed in the viswexpouoded ley Mr. Poogelly, who, having said a few words in reply, the section adjourned. SECTION D.-ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY. T is erection 11204 in the Mineral Water Hospital, end was presided over by Dr. J. K GRAY, F.R.S. A raper was also read in this section by Mr. J. Gw yn Jeffreys, being a further report on Shetland dredging, who also reed some remarks on Stylifer, a genus of quasi-ma- Arc molluscs, with particulars of the Eu ropean species S.

SUB-SECTION D.—PHYSIOLOGY. This section was presided over by Dr. EDWARD Barra, LL.B.,P.R.S, who read a long sod molt interest's/paper en the present state of the dietary question, of which we regret that our mime permits us to give no more than an abstract. Be ads tried to the fact that out of 700 poor-law dietaries of paupers in workhouses, not two were alike. The condition of the dietary of the army cud navy was until recent yearn most deplorable. At the latter end of the last, and early part of the present century, scurvy, due to ill-selected food, biscuits which could not be broker, and salt meat that could not be cut, was rife, even in our national navy, and inquiries made by Dr. Budd, some 20 years ago, and by Dr. Barnes this year, had shown that this disease was still not anfruneet in t he fore cabins of our merchant navy, bat it was Dot found is the master's cabin, not amongst the wa fted alms, but arougat the ill-fed seamen. The state of the dietary in our prison populations was not only less satis factory than that of our army and navy, but was very un satisfactory. He referred to several instances in which it had been found requisite to diminish the allowance et food to convicts, and to others in which it had bees in creased ; changes made ender the influence of mere public opinion by medical gentlemen, on grounds which were illo gical, end without making use of the only plan by which the fitness of the change could be proved—that of scientific io vary into the conditions in which the dietary was to be wed ; and he suggested that a government officer should be appointed to make the requisite scientific inquiries. With regard to dietary in hospitals, an approach to uniformity was possible, but at present there was a greet difference. There was the bestrews to believe that the dietary of our private schools and colleges, and charitable inetitutioos for the maintenance and education of the young, had greatly improved ; but it was a subject which still demanded public attention. There were multitude. of cheap schools is the country, in which the sum paid with the ponds wits mani festly inadequate to ruthomate the proprietors of the schools. A consideration of the dietary of the postal com munity must have regard to two classes at least, viz., the well-fed middle and higher classes, and the moderately-fed, or ill-fed labouring clitoris : but time would not permit him to refer to the former, further than to offer a few ebservatiou era Bantingism. He was not concerned is the medical question sa to whether it was desirable to reduce the hulk of • given individual, a circunistaeoe which must always ho left to the medical man in charge of the case, but he thought it would be an evil to this nation, both bodily end mentally, if the system of reduction were to become at all general, and that, on the contrary, rewarding the whole population, we needed to add to rather than take from the weight of the body. Even in the well fed classes he had seen very serious diminution of both bodily and mental vigour follow the working out of the plan. There was no neceoity for the ...owlets excilion of fat and sugar, and the extreme • redacting, is the quantity of bread, any more than for the great ioerease in the quantity of meat. The bulk of the body might be reduced simply by lessening the amount of the kinds of food usually taken, and as the reduction was more slowly effected, it was a process attended by lees &nem to the health. Turning to the question as it affected the labouring classes, be observed that an inquiry of • character unique, at lesst in extent, bad just been completed by him ter the government, which would afford a clearer insight than bad hitherto bees ob tained into the dietary of our labouring population. It had been made at the houses of the agricultural labourers in every county in England, in Wales, the west and north of Inland, and the weet and south of Scotland, at the bonus of certain town populations, silk and cotton wearers, he., with all the ewe and minuteness which science could sug gest, the detail, of which might be found in the sixth report at the medical officer of the Privy Council. The coarse bode of bread which were in ordinary use by our fore fathers, even to the early part of the present century, were air very rarely eaten. Barley bread wee still eaten io the boom of labourers in South Wales, and in the farmhouses of Ala and South Wales and Angles's ; also in Northam- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER l6, 1864. berlard and Cornwall, and Devon, and is the Imams parte of `Scotland; but except in certain poor districts in South Wake, it was not now used as a principal member of the Chas of bread stuffs. Rye bread was nowhere eaten alone. °Awe.' was used by 20 per cent. of the farm labourers in England. Indian corn was cued exclusively in the south of Ireland. Pea meal was never sates alone as a bre:ad, but in the north of Scotland it was sometimes added and oatmeal for that purpose. .. . Rios was used by about 50 per cent. of the population, but never in the place of breed as a bread stuff. The average weekly dietary of fano labourers was for each adult and child 134 lb. of bread stuff, 63 cz. of sugar, 5 oz. of fats, 14 oz. of meat, 52 oz. of milk, 5 oz. of cheese, and I oz. of tea ; whilst indoor Labourers obtained 93 lbe. of bread stuffs, 8 oz. of sugar, 5 oz. of fats, 133 oz. of meat, 18 oz. of milk, and f oz , of tea for each adult weekly. . . . In reference to public insti tutions, be was of opinion that there should bee govern ment officer of the highest repute ono° dietary queetioes to whom such questions should be referred by the govern mer t, and that in the dietaries of the poor, the wives and children are ill-fed, much more so than the husbands; that a large part of the infant mortality, and the deaths at puberty from consumption, is due to an in sufficient supply of milk and of other good food, and the almost exclusive use of slops. He also insisted that a man's duty is to provide sufficient nourishment for his family even if it were only dry bread, and that until this had been effected nothing should be spent merely to please the taste, and in order to turn the labourers overtime to profitable account it was very desirable that he should have the op. portunity of growing plenty of potatoes. Dr. Smith coo ' chided by a reference to the present state of the question Iconsidered as a science, and pointed out what science had done and what were still the most important defects. On the motion of Professor Arland, it was unanimously resolved that steps be taken to bring it under the notice of the government. Papers were also read by Dr. Gibb on the various forms assumed by the glottis; by Mr. W. Turner, M. 8., oe a acippictreetuy rystern of nutrient arteries for the lungs, and by Mr. W. R. C. Norris on the action of the nervous Wane concerned in perception. SECTION E.—GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOLOGY. This seetwa was presided orwW as. ir RODZIICI MOBCIII- soN, who delivered the opening a SECTION F.-ECONOMIC SCIENCE. This section met in the Wilson-street rooms. Dr. WlL tut( FAaa presided. There was a goodly attendance of members, among whom were a number of ladies. Among those present were—Bishop Colerwro. Sir J. Bowring, Colonel Sykes, M.P., Mr. Tito, M.P., Mr. Heywood, Pro fessor Levy, Mr. T. W. Saunders, Recorder of Bath, Mr. l'urdy, Recorder Hill. Mr. Macrory, secretary of the section, read the minutes of the but meeting, which were ooefinned. The President, after announcing that some most valuable contributions to statistical science had been forwarded to the emaciation by Russia, Italy. and other states, which would be accessible to members, proceeded to deliver an able and interesting address. Colonel Sykes moved the thanks of the section to Dr. Farr for his address, which he described u one of the most elaborate and able papers ever communicated to the section dace its establishment. Sir J. Bownng seconded the motion, which was anted by acclamation. Mr. Saunders, Recorder of Bath, road • paper on the natation of crime and criminals. do interesting diseussioo followed, in which Sir J.

Prviessor Levi read a paper. entitled " Statistics of the Number and Occupations of Foreigners in England." M.-. Tit*, P. moved a vote of thanks to Professor Levi for his paper. M.P., excellent maniple and great success which had followed the professor showed that they could not only tolerate an Italian, bat were delighted to receive instruction from him. _ _ Mr. Neville Granralle sod Sir J. Bowring supported the motion, which was carried by acclamation. The SPAM then adjourned till to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES.—TatninAL The weather this morning was marked centred to that of yesterday—the St. Leger day. The result of the great race seemed to have a tremendous effect on all, and the momen tous question, the superiority of Blair Athol and General Peel being settled, and the ruled relieved of that anxiety and eagerness to obtain any fresh information respecting the great struggle, rendered the meeting to-day pleasurable in the extreme, and every one, not excepting the betting fester. city, appreciated the calm which followed the storm of yes terday, both as regards the weather and the tumultuous feelings shared by all connected with racing prior to the Leger. At the rooms this morning there was scarcely any betting that would influence future events. Most of the members were busily engaged in settling on the Leger, and did not seem at all inclined to launch out in speculation until after that important business was, to • certain extent, finished. On the members assembling in the ring some ex terreive betting took place on the Ceearewitch and Cambridgeshire, Gratitude being in force at 100 to 7, and the Calista colt also having supporters at 20 to 1. The first race was the Zetland auks—appointed for 2 o'clock —and for which only two were "coloured" on the card, and Mahometait who was purchased at Lord Stamford's sale by Mr. Joseph Dawson, his lordship's late trainer, walked over. The Portland Plate brought out twenty eight runners, and after a tedious delay the lot were so un ruly that they could not be got in compact order when the flag was dropped, the consequence of which was, the start was not • good one, and added to which an accident oc curred ere they had proceeded two hundred yards, in which Flying Fish and The Cobbler came to grief, Lord Stamford's mare being so seriously injured that she had afterwards to be destroyed, and the jockey of The Cobbler (Hewett) wee so severely hurt, that he had to be conveyed to the town. The race was • very easy victory for Persuasion, who took up the running before coining round the bend, and won in • canter by half • dozes lengths. Catalogue has unques tionably run up to the bigb trial which preceded her appear ance at Stockton, since that meeting, and after being our. cheer' by Mr. Padwiek for the Marquis of Hastings foe 2to guineas, carried her noble owner's colours steams folly to the goal the first time of asking, and was bought in for 510 guineas, being 470 in excess of the entered selliog price, which sum went to the credit of the fumed. The Cleveland Handicap proved sufficiently attractive to being out thirteen runners, and the issue ended in favour of Wohigs, beaten easily in the Portland Plate, after an in teresting race with Twilight The Eglin ton Stakes bad four roomers, but the finish, as indicated by the betting, was coafined to Victorious and Wild Agnes, the filly wint7ing capital nos by a no*.

At the Lambeth Polies-court, yesterday, Mr. Mesta Hammond, a gentleman residiag at Laurel House, Peckham, was charged with baking op and kespiag is cable oonfinement his wife, Rosalied Hammond, without just cause, such confinement being very detrimental to her health. Mrs. Rosalind Hammond, a wretched, dejected, but an intellectual.looking wonuni, and who gave her evidence with perfect clearness and composure, was sworn, end a:- examined by Mr. Beasley. Her evidence was to the e ff ect that she had been locked np altogether for about two years, that when she remonstrated with her hmband, he laid the blame upon two female servants who lived with them, and that on one occesion,vit, at Christmas, 1882, he had 'severely beaten her with his fists. -- Mr. Beesley—With his closed fist? Witat4l—Yee. The women urged him on ; they saw he woe under the influence of beer. Mr. Beasley—Were the women present? Witnees—Yee. The women were present, and urging him cm to do it. Not Allen, but the other woman. Mr. Beasley—ls that woman's name Emily Whiteman Witneas—Yes, Emily Whiteman. She was present, urged him on, and told him to do it. Mr. Norton—Have you had any quarrel with them Witness—We have had many quarrels, but not without reason. Mr. Beasley—Before you were taken up had you been down to Emily Whiteman's family? Waimea—Yes. Mr. Beasley—Did you tell your husband what you went to me her parents about? Witness—Ys. About her adultery. Mr. Beasley—With whom Witness—With him, my husbaud. Mr. Beasley—Did you tell your husbaml you had been to see BmilyWhiteman's parents shout his adultery with their. daughter ~ Witems—Yem Mr. Beasley—Wm that before you were locked up! Witnees—Tbat was the reason I was abut up, out of re venge. hlr. Beasley—When your husband 'truck you In 1862, did you suffer much from his violence itnee•—Yes. I suffered a good deal about the temple. It is • dangerous part to strike. I protected myself as much as I could with my bands slimiest his violates. Mr. Besidey—Were you subjected to violence at the bands of other persons in hia presence ! Withal/—Never in his presence, but 1 have been *evenly knocked about the hied by these two women, which 1 be lieve was unknown to him. . . . . Mr. Norton—How recently have you been struck by either of these two women ? . . . . - . Witness—l cannot count the times ; they have been so often. Mr. Norton—Are you fearful of seeing the woman of whom you have been speaking as one of the persons wbo bad assaulted you? Witnem—Oh, no. Mr. Norton—Then let Allen be brought in end placed along aide Mr. Hammond, as she is implicated in the charge. ibis was done, and Mrs. Hammond was again sworn as to her evidence against Allan, which was read over in her presence. In answer to the farther questions of the learned counsel the witness said that she had had two children, one of whom was still living, and whom she had occasionally seen from her window, and the other only survived its birth • few hews. On the last occasion she was attended by Dr. Nine, bat he had not arrived until after its birth. continued to ' attend her for a month, and from that time, January last, she had not seen or been visited by any medical man. Mr. Beasley here remarked that Mrs. Hammond was taken away from the wretched apartment in which she had been shut up with scarcely decent clothier on her, and but fora shawl which she had round her, and a cloak a nd bonnet that had been lent to her, she could not be removed. She was destitute of proper under clothing, and he (Mr. Beasley) wished hie worship would call on her to throw off her shawl in order that he might see the forlorn condition in which a lady of the highest respectability, and who had brought her husband 6001. a year, was at present placed.

TRH VALUE OF PROPERTY IN THE CITY.-Yester day, at the Lord Mayor's Court, a compensation own, "Jones and Cohen v. the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company," occupied the day. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Barnard were for the claimers, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., sod Mr. Gadsden for the company. The claim was 3,0001., for three freehold houses, in Fleet-lens, which had been pulled down. An offer of 1,7601. had been made sod paid into court. Several withers' were called on both sides as to the value, and the usual difference of opinion was given in evidence. Both parties admitted that property in the City had greatly lowered in ulna, sod it was stated on oath that three companies had bees established to purchase property in the City for the purpose of selling it ag u e. Mr. Commiesioner Kerr told the jury they wore to assess the present value. It wee remarkable that where railway com panies were concerned there was a wide difference in the opinion of the valuers. The value should be the same as between John Jones and Thomas Smith, bat he was bound to say it was not so. The juryswarded 2,450/. DRUNK. FOR TWENTY Y LAE& -Au inquest was held on Wednesday evening by Mr. Richards, at the Wel bogie* Tavern, Cannonatreet, St. George's-in-the-Esat, as to the death of Sarah Whaley, aged 59 years, who died from excessive drinking. The rides°e went to prove that the deceased was the wife of a mariner, who was indus trious, and left her her half-pay, which she squandered away in drink. A short time since she was found in a der titute state at her lodgings, and was removed tithe infirm ary at St. George's Workhouse, where she received every attention. On Monday morning last she was seized with illness, and expired suddenly in bed. William Whaley, her husband, said she was a continual drunkard, and had spent a fortune in drink. She had not beta sober for 2.) years. Dr. J. S. Belcher, of the New-road, St. George's, said that • post-mortem examination of the body showed that the left lung was studded with tubercular absceare. The immediate cause of death was disease of the heart from exossitive drinking of ardent spirits. The hnsband said that the deceased's favourite drink was rum. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testi. moi s t iax CROLY SUICIDE or • CLERGYMAN.- For sane time past the Rev.

Mr. Calthorp, sur geon, was hastily sent for, and although living two miles distant, lie arrived in time to prolong the sufferings of the unfortunate gentleman, who lingered in agony until Tuesday last, when he expired. It has been said that painful events rarely happen alone. This was verified in connexion with the above affair, for at the Mai* time the doctor was sent for to Mr. Jeffreys be was required to attend a poor woman in labour. After attending to the former, he made the beat of his way to the latter, when it was discovered that she ban lost her life for want of immediate aid.

Detective officer Baker said be had other cues against the prisoners, but he thought those already proved would be sufffeient, and he remarked that it was through the pub licity that had been given by some of the papers that the numerous charges bed been brought to light. WESTMLNBTER. A few days ago Edward Thorpe, • labouring man, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, value 301., from the home of Mr. Buick, 5, Hose-terrace, Brampton. Mrs. Buick stated that the prisoner bad been employed to clean her window; and being anxious to know the time she looked at a gold watch in his presence, and replaced it, with the chair, in the drawer. The prisoner remained ten minute, afterwards in the room, and whets he had left, Mrs. Banick locked the door herself, according to custom, keeping the key in her pocket, until three or four hours afterwards, on going to the drawer, she missed the gold watch and chain, and on the man coming in the evening to finish his work, Mrs. Buick gave him into custody. The accused, who solemnly protested hie innocence, and declared that he bad seen the lady put the chain round her neck after she bad told him the time, was remanded ; but on the following day • com munication was received from Mrs. Banick, stating that she had found her watch, and Mr. Self. promptly despatched the prisoner's discharge to the jail where he bad been lodged. hire. Banick now said, that on the morning following the prisoner's committal for re-examination, to her great sur prise she found the watch in another drawer in the same room, but not in that in which she considered it was safely put away. She had occasion to go to another chest of drawers in the room, and there found the watch under some linen. Mr. Self, asked her whether she could explain how it came to be pot there. Mrs. Buick said she had no recollection whatever of putting it there herself, nor of wearing it, as alleged by the accused. The man now affirmed that Mrs. Banick had put it rotted her neck, as he bad before stated. Mrs. Buick said she bad done everything she could ender the unfortunate circumstancee of the case, and when she discovered her mistake she went at once to Waltoe elreeelice station and entreated them to liberate the accused. Mrs. Buick handed a written agreement to the magis trate, in which it was proposed to give the accused 101., and said she was quite willing to do all she could to atone for having given him into custody, and would willingly pay any reasonable amount. Mr. Safe mid the first and great object in this proceed ing was to set the man's character free from imputation be fore the world, and the next thing, as • person had unfortu nately weds • mistake, was to compensate io that respect, and although there was no malice whatever io this proceed ing, the man had been given into custody and deprived of his liberty without due search and consideration. Mrs. Buick had made her statement before with considerable paitiveaess. He was free to admit that he (the worthy ma gistrate) doubted her story, and believed in the prisoner's innocence, and he should sot have remanded the accused had he not bees under the conviction that his master would have come forward and bailed him. A friend of the accused now stepped forward and said that he did not consider 101. adequate compensation after what had occurred to • poor man with four children. especially as the aocused's wife, who worked at gentlemen's houses, had been much affected in her employment in con. sequence of the charge against her busbeod, which would of course prevent persons with any property having her about their houses. He certainly thought 20/. should be gives. Mr. Belle said that if the parties would consent to his being the arbitrator he would decide the nastier. It would be better than either getting into the hands of attornies. It was not desirable that the man should make a market of his character, or that nodes advantage should be taken of the unfortunate mistake into which Mrs. Buick had fallen. Both baring willingly agreed, Mr. Self e said, taking three things into consideration, that the man had been out of work some days by this ; that foe two nights and nearly two days he had been locked op of • charge of which he was innocent, and that the value of the property was 301 ., for the recovery of which in all probabi lity the pecescutrix would have given 151., he should hold and give it as his decision that 151. was adequate compen sation. An agreement being drawls up the money was paid, and all the parties thanked the magistrate for his patient haves ligation of the matter. SOUTHW ARK. James Dwyer, alias Dario, and George Green, were brought tip OD warrants, charged with violently resulting polimoonstables Todd, 261 M, and Hunnysell, 2.36 M, two officers of that division of the metropolitan police. The evidence in the case showed that at half-past two o'clock on the previous morning a group of young fellows, including the pprisoners, were seen outside a low coffesdiop at Dockhand, Bermondry, creating a great disturbance sad , illtreating an old man. The officer Hunnyeell interposed, and desired them to go home, when be was set upon by the gang, but he succeeded in capturing one of the delinquents, and was conveying him to the police station, when be was followed by six or seven of the fellows, brutally enrolled. and his prisoner rescued from his custody. His brother con stable, Todd, aims up to his assistaoce, and in like manner wu ass ailed the the gang in the moat rut:Emily manner. The two prisoners were fully identified u having been ringleaders in the onslaught. The magistrate said the attack made upon the officers was both ruffianly and cowardly. It appears that eight or ten men first assaulted one of the constables, and then directed their brutality against another ; ten men upon two was, he repeated, mostruffirly and au-English. He convicted them lof both assaults, and ordered them to pay a penalty of 23e. each, or, in default, to be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for one calendar month. The defendants ware removed in the prison van. HAMMERSMIIB. Eliza Payne, a pact- lo;lasswcoann, was placed in the dock, charged with lb* following offence. Mr. F. K. Hobbs, the superintendent of the Ftromptoo Cemetery, stated that between three and four o'clock on Wednesday afteraoon the prisoner was brought to him by one of their workmen, who said that a lady had called his attention to her, as she had been stealing flowers from four different Knives. Wittier produced some of the flowers she bad with her. She admitted stealing the flowers, and said she was very sorry for it. She bed a pair of scissors with her with which she bad cut the flowers. Mr. Derma told the prisoner that if the graves belonged to her she had no right, strictly speaking, to cut the flowers, and very properly so. Persona bad wattmeters to plant flowers, bet they bad no right to pall them up antis. Mr. Hobbs said the practice of stealing the flowers from the graves in the Cemetery occurred very frequetitly, and they were tumble to detect it in all cases. It gave them a great deal of trouble. The orisoser repeated that she was very sorry for what she had dose. _ _ . . MARKETS. TALLOW. —Tntriinfiar Evimmi.—The market was firm to-day.
