atparttng intelligence. WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES. THIM&)AY. The concluding day of this popular meeting was favoured with delightfnl weather, which was a pleasing contrast to that of the opening day. Although many persons left on WednesiLy, the attend:nue nevertheless was good, the people from the neighltourhood showing up in good num ra. The sport on the whole was very good, hut unfor tunately produced some squabbling " objections," which seem more the rule than the exception in all races that do not come under the category of " legitimate." The objection against Sir William, who came in first for the Sevens Lank Stakes, was decided, and the race awarded to The Nun. Lord Westmorland acted for the stewards and disqualified Sir William for not carrying a penalty for winning the Warwick Cup. Lord Stamfonl's autumns with Peporter for the Grand Annual Steeplechase was hailed with applause. but this horse was also provokingly objected to for having gone the wrong course, although both he and Despatch appeared the only two that ran the course. Another of these quibbles was a protest against Milk Mahl, who won the Hunters' Purse, and here on the ground of carrying insufficient weight ; which we cannot understand, because the mare had a sea, half-breed, and maiden allowance, and csrried a ah penalty for a pro. fessional jockey. There war little or no betting on the Liverpool Cup, Honesty backed at 100 to 7 being the only transaction we came across.

Immediately after starting Arthur took up the running, followed by Oldminster and Carubroe, Boutuaza and Delight bringingup the rearasthey lewd the stand. Approaching the hundlesArth u r increased his lead, the favonrite taking second place, but Stevens could barely get him to rise at the gorse,' hurdles, which he knocked down, jumping them in a very slovenly manner. They ran with little variation to the water pump, which Arthur cleared slightly in advance of Carnbroe, Delight and Bonmant, Oldminater and Lady Blanche bringing up the rear side by side. Omelette took up the running imniedistely afterwards, and maintained the lead out of Pitcheroft, but at the next fence Arthur again headed him, the others being separated at wide Intervale. At the third fence from Dome Arthur slipped and came down on his bores, Cambroe coining in contact with him, getting much the worst of the " cannon" as be came down on his side. This enotretc laps enabled Arthur to take a lead of fifty yard, as they came into the race course, and although Stevens rode the favourite home, Arthur cantered in a winner by twenty lengths. Delight finished third, a length in rear of Cambroe, and twice that distance in advance of Old minster. The other two pulled up before reaching the poet. The winner was bought in for 200 guineas.

When the word was given the favourite took a slight lead of Sir William, Tennyson, Hip polyte, and Ace of Trumps, slightly in their rear lying Cabin Boy and Despatch, Daisy bring ing up the rear. Approaching the first hurdles Sir William headed the favourite, but after rounding the Ham turn they gradually took closer order, and a sheet would have covered them as they raced past the stand. At the railway bend Despatch held a alight lead of Sir Wil liam, Tennyson and Cabin Boy in a cluster, Reporter now lying off several lengths in rear as they ]jumped out of the Pitchcroft. The first casualty occurred at the succeeding fence, where Tennyson fell, and although remounted, Stevens pulled him up when he found pursuit to be hope less. As they approached the fano fence Sir William took p the running from Despatch, who had overpowered Mr. Thomas, but having him in band, Mr. Studds' horse was pulled back and went on in rear with Reporter. Sir William, after leading into the racecourse, ran the wrong course, all following bins, with the exception of Despatch and Reporter, who, in consequence, came on together, and cleared the water jump in grand style, side by side, at least 100 yards in advance of Ace of Trumps, Cabin Hoy, Hippolyte, and D a isy in a cluster , all of whom bad retraced their steps when their jockeys discovered their error, but Sir William was pulled up. Rounding the railway turn Reporter drew sway from Despatch, Mr. Thomas stopping his horse, having lost his stirrup, and having no mainland over him. Approaching the Pitchcroft the race was virtually over, as Reporter rather increased hie lead than diminished it, but in the race course Cabin Boy and Ace of Trumps were allowed to @lightly decrease the long gap be tween them and the favourite. At the distance Cabin Boy gave way and Ace of Trumps made determined efforts to overhaul Reporter, who however won in a canter, greeted with lend cheers, by four lengths. Cabin Boy was a bad third; Hippolyte, many lengths off, being fourth. Daisy was pulled up a quarter of a mile from home. The winner was objected to for going the wrong course, and the objection remains in abeyance. A Fagg HANDICAP STZEPLZCHARN of 5 110•11, each, 1 ft, with 40 tided. Two miles. (34 subs.) Mr. R.

Although the opening day of the above meeting clashed with the concluding one at Worcester, and both laid claim to the patronage of the .portmen of the midland counties, Mr. Ford's excellent management induced a numerous attendance, whilst Mr. Chaplin's hospitality at Illankncy contributed to an extensive patronage of the leading patrons of the turf. It was only to be expected that, con sidering the recent demand. made upon horseflesh, the fields would be corunaratively small and the sport meagre. Next autumn, however, the meeting will be of much more importance, as it is intended to take advantage of an earlier fixture. To-day the weather was fine, and light items were decided in the course of the afternoon, which it must be admitted was a stiffish programme for this time of the year. Details of the different races are appended. Tilt JoHICATONIE PLATE of 100 sovs., for all ages ,• winners extra. T.Y.C. (shout five furlongs). (21 entries. ) 81r V.

(Before the Recorder.) Adam (Mir, tailor, and Philibert Kochmann, printer, were charged with unlawfully obtaining, by means of false pretences, from Conrad Hammill and another, eight casks of wine, value 27M, with intent to defraud. Mr. Houston prosecuted ; and Mr. Straight defended. The prosecutors, Messrs. Hummill and Schmidt, were wine merchants in Bavaria, and had been induced by the prisoner Oster to consign eight casks of Rhenish wino to Bochmann and Co. 3 and 4, Bohn-street, Stepney, but no such firm ever existld, and the wine was sold by the pri aoner at prices far below its real value. A curious part of the case was that immediately after the wine was landed Oster wrote to the prosecutors that the " great firm of Beckmann and Co." bad failed, to the astonishment of the mercantile community of the Cityof London, and he ad vised them not to send any more wine to the bankrupt firm. It appeared that Kochmann occupied a room in Bohn-street where the business was professed to be carried on, and his defence was that he really intended to pay for the wine at the expiry of six months, credit being granted for that length of time. In behalf of Oster, who resided at 1, Elfin-villas, Forest-hill, it was suggested that he had been deceived by the other prisoner who, he alleged, repre. sented that he intended to carry on a bona fide wine business. . . . . _ The jury, after consulting a few minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The Recorder ..aid they had been convicted on perfectly clear evidence of a grata fraud, and the sentence of the court therefore was, that they be kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months. Rearm Brook, ironranger, was placed at the bar on a charge substantially of forging a trade mark with intent to defraud. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted, and Mr. Poland and Mr. Straight were for the defence. The prosecutor was Mr. R. Hodges, of Southampton row, who manufactured an article called an " accumula tor," or door spring. For this article Mr. Brook acted as an agent for eleven years, but in 1866, Mr. Hodges, not being satisfied with his conduct, refused any longer to supply him. The defendant then made use of the ex pression that he would be left to his own resources, and he accordingly got a similar article made, and sold them in printed wrappers similar to those used by the prosecutor. The patent having expired in 180, anybody was at liberty to manufacture the ' accumulator," but the charge was that be deposed of those of his own make under the re presentation that they were the prosecutor's. Evidence having been given as to the facts of the case, Mr. Poland remarked•that if the defendant had called the articles Brook's accumulators he would thereby have been robbing Mr. Hodges of the credit of the invention. The Recorder, in summing up, said the question was whether the labels were so constructed as to endeavour to make people believe that they were manufactured by Mr. Hodges, whereas they were manufactured by Mr. Brook. The jury returned a verdict of Not Gail! y, and the defendant wu accordingly discharged. (Before the Common Serjeant.) John Borrington, James Dyer, William Dyer and George Sham, were indicted for entering the warehouse of William Henry Quint, and stealing divers quantities of chintz and ribbon. The Dyers and Shaw were also charged with breaking into the dwelling•house of Letitia Webb ; and the Dyers alone were further charged with stealing a number of umbrellas and other articles, the property of John Allen. Mr. Poland and Mr. Bailey conducted the prosecution ; Mr. George Griffiths appeared for the two Dyers ; Mr. M. Williams and! Mr. Richard Harris for Shaw ; and Mr. W. P. MacDonald for Norrington. The counsel for the prosecution were instructed by Mr. Nelson, the City Soli citor ; and those for the defence by Mr. Bing, Basinghall street. The circumstances will he fresh in the recollection of the public. It appeared that the premises, 1 and 2, Portland street, Portland-square, were occupied by William Henry Quint, and, as was customary, they were locked up about four o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, 14th September. On the following Monday morning it was found that the premisas had been broken open, the warehouse ransacked, and a large quantity of chintz and ribbon carried away. Information was at once given to the police, and every effort was made to trace the perpetrators of the mt. On the 21st September a number of officers of the City police force who had been making diligent inquiry, were on the watch in the neighbourhood of Tottenham-court-road. While there, they saw Herrington, James Dyer, and Shaw, whom they took into custody, and in the possession of Her rington was a parcel containing some of the property stolen from the premises of Mr. Quint. There were also found on him some sketches on paper of skeleton keys. The officers then went to 4, Stephemstreet, at which place, in a room on the fourth floor, lived James and William Dyer, and there they recove red another portion of the stolen property. This was claimed by William Dyer, who said he bought it on the previous day from a man whom he did not know. A further search was made which resulted in the finding of a small crowbar, a vice, and 10 skeleton keys, and in a loft between the ceiling and the roof of the house there was another quantity of skeleton keys, one of which fitted the door of the premises where the robbery had occurred. A search was also made at the house of a sister of the Dyers, at No. 7, Stephen-street, and in the cellar the officers recovered a further portion of Mr. is property, while, at the place where Shaw lived in Berry. street, they found some of the stolen ribbons, and also maw his wife and another woman wearing aprons made of the chintz abstracted from the prosecutor's warehouse. Another material fact against the prisoners was that some of them were observed loiter. ing in the neighbourhood of Portland-street about the time the robbery must have been committed. They were also charged with two other burglaries, some further stolen property which was subsequently identified having been found at the house of the Dyers while search was being made in connection with the robbery at Mr. Quint's. It appeared that the dwelling-house, 122, Gower-street, was occupied by Letitia Webb and her mother. On the Ist of August the house was locked up and the family went to the seaside. Returning on the 29th of the same month, they found that the house had been broken into and robbed in a most scientific manner. Tire cellar had been opened, a hole cut through the wall, and en iron-lined door having been cut open, an entrance had been thus effected to the upper part of the house, from which the thieves had taken away property valued at from 1501. to 2001. Part of it was found at the house of the two Dyers, another part in the cellar of the sister's house, and the remainder had been disposed of at various pawnbrokers. The third offence was committed on the 4th of August at the warehouse of Mr. Allen, umbrella manu facturer, Regent-street, and the circumstances of the case were somewhat similar to those of the two previous ones. The evidence on the first charge occuping the greater part of the day, the others were not gone into. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and it was stated that all of them had previous convictions recorded against them. Shaw had been known as a notorious burglar for thirteen years, and on one occasion, while in gaol, sent for a police sergeant and gave information as to a robbery of some of the Queen's plate. The Common Serjeant said he would make no difference between the prisoners, and sentenced each of them to ten yetis' penal servitude. Ira. Geraldine Afeuriec was brought up on several charges of swindling a number of tho principal West-end tradesmen. Mr. Poland and Mr. Collins conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Ribton was for the defence. On the case being called on for trial, Mr. Ribton made an application to the learned Common Scrjeant to postpone the trial to next session, on the ground that there was evidence forthcoming to show that the prisoner was a woman of means. The counsel for the prosecution opposed the application, hut after some discussion the case was allowed to stand over. The whole of the OOP P. hating been disposed of, the court then adjourned till the next session. when the Catherine Parr colt was indulged with the lead, Sunnylocks lying in attendance to the turn into the straight, where Themisto and The Pope joined the leaders, and the latter taking the lead at the thatinee won in a can ter by sic lengths which distance divided second and third. The Catherine Parr colt was fourth, and Emily last. The winner was sold to Mr. Saville for 100 guineas.

The running was made at so strong a pace that when they reached the turn into the straight only the favourite and Caithness appeared in it, and the latter was going so well within hinuelf, that it ens apparent he could at the jockey's discretion go to the front. Just outside the distance Caithness joined Treasure Trove, and quitting him about two hundred yards from the chair, won with the greatest of ease by throe-quarters of a length.

IS ram a. ADELPHI. Since the production of Mauls Peril at this house, the author, Mr. Watts Phillips, has made several alterations in the drama, and these alterations were tried last night, we believe, for the first time, with encouraging success. Mr. Phillips, we think, has very judiciously strengthened the second act, which was rather weak near its close, by making the returned convict, Taperloy, dis cover lady Challoner and Gerald Gwynn at the window, and he has materially reduced the repulsiveness of Sir Ralph Challoner's character and conduct early in the last aci, by bringing husband and wife together in an inter view, in which an explanation leads to a reconciliation, and the reconciliation to the immediate repentance of the old man, and his signature of a paper declaring the innocence of the wrongly accused Gerald Gwynn. Actors and actresses often object to critics seeing them on the first night of performance, but our own experience proves that with all the inevitable hitches and defects of a first represents tion there is generally more " go" about the acting than on any subsequent occasion. The acting of .Vaud', Peril, as it stands now, with one or two exceptions, is no proof to the contrary. Mr. Behnore has toned his performance down in some part•—certiculary in the murder scene— until all the tragedy is gone, and little but the slangy comedy remains. The few hisses that greeted him in this scene on the first night were the best proof of excellence. His rash with the knife into the cabinet to stab Sir Ralph Challoner is now only suggestive of pig-sticking. The house was well attended, and the play was well re ceived—all the actors being called at the end before the curtain. /ban ant( Military. CHATHAM, Ocr. 31. TROOPS FOR ABYSSINIA.—A largo supply of pho tographic, telegraphic, and other apparatus required for use by the scientific portions of the Royal Engineering party about proceeding to Abyssinia, was despatched from head-quarters, Brompton barracks, this morning, for shipment on board the screw-steamer Mendoza!), for Blaasowah, an order having been received at head-quarters for the 10th company of Royal Engineers to embark on Monday next on board that vessel at Woolwich. The boxes are so constructed that they may be safely packed on the mules which will convey them up the country. A party of non-commissioned offieers and sappers of the Royal Engineers has also been selected for service as well borers, and they will be placed under the direction of Captain F. A. Le Mesurier. For several days past the men forming the party have been practised in well•boring operations on the Royal Engineer field.works at head quarters. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and sappers attached to the expedition have been ordered to receive 50 days' pay in advance. ADMIRALTY, OCT. 31.—APPOINTMENTS.—Mid shipmen, Henry D.

THE ABYWHNIAN Exrrernorr.—At the request of Sir Robert Napier, Colonel Milward, IR.A., pro ceeds at once from this country to join the expedition in Abyssinia. Colonel Milward served in the Crimea, and in the expedition to Pekin in 1860 commanded the field artillery which was attached to General Napier's division. It is not usual that officets appointed to foreign service should retain a civil appointment • but we are told that considering the special circumstances of this case, the Secretary of State and the Commander-in-Chief have al lowed Colonel Milward to retain the appointment which be now holds at the War-office as Assistant-Director of Ordnance. _ _ fAdvertisement. I-- HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Cone detitta Advise.—To all permits who suffer from bilious headaches, disordered stomachs, biliousness. or flatulency, these pills are most strongly recommended as the safest, best, and quickest mode of obtaining ease. without weakening or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills are especially useful in clear ing away excess of bile, which produces fever unless remedial measures be adopted without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for remov ing all clanger, and by purifying and regulating the circulation they effectually prevent relspeer, by rousing the liver toe fair secretion of bile, and quickly carrying it off from the system. These pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feelings often called nervous. THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, OCT. 31. At the close of the evidence for the prosecution to-day, Mr. Digby Seymour, before opening the defence, said he wished to call the attention of their lordships to a matter of law. What be wished to submit was a question as to the legality of the imprisonment of the men called Kelly and Deasy at the time of their rescue from the van. It was in evidence that they had been apprehended on suspi cion of felony, and were remanded on that charge under the Vagrancy Act. According to the officer who filled in the warrant it was filled in with the word " felony," and not suspicion of felony. He submitted on these grounds whe ther they were not Illegally detained, and pointed oat cases mentioned among othereby "Russell on Crimea" in his last edition, in which it had been held that if a man was illegally detained he had a right to liberate himself if he could, and if in doing so, not using more violence than the circumstances demanded, death resulted, it would not be murder, but manslaughter. It was further held that if personsaiding him to escape should kill any one, they would be clothed with the same excuse. Mr. Seymour referred to " Hawkins' Pleas of the Crown," chap. 21, that being one of the authorities cited in " BusselL" It was laid down in the case referred to that whenever the imprisonment was groundless or irregular, and the person escaping was saved from the penalty of • capital offender the strangers who rescued him were in like manner excu sed. Mr. Justice Blackburn did not think the case an analo gous one. Re doubted if the stranger, not himself utder provocation or restraint of liberty, was entitled to kill. Mr. Seymour said the question for the court was the degree of excess used in the rescue. He did not say that excess might not be used in • rescue that would make the persons guilty of murder although the original meddling with the matter might be lawful —as, for instance, when death was caused by malice; but what he con tended was that if death ensued in a rescue that was excusable in • civil proceeding, it would not amount to murder but manslaughter, and that the crime would attach only to the person who was responsible for it, and not to others who took part in the act. The objec tion he took at the very threshold was that the warrant was filled up for felony without due authority ; there was no charge of felony, and there was no evidence of felony. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he did not quits understand the objection, seeing that the prisoners were given in charge on what was believed to be a sufficient warrant. Mr. Seymour said the policeman was a mere accidental mechanism for carrying out the jurisdiction of the magis trates, and the policeman in this case had no better title to issue the warrant than the magistsates ; in short, he submitted that the warrant was made out contrary to the charge, and was unsupported by evidence. Mr. Justice Mellor—The original warrants were for being parties to a conspiracy to dethrone the Queen. Mr. Seymour—Those warrants were not backed. Mr. Justice Mellor—But those warrants were produced before the magistrates. Mr. Seymour—Neither of them. Mr. Justice Mellor—lt was stated upon oath that there was no such a warrant. Mr. Justice Blackburn —That is the charge. They were remanded upon that charge. Mr. Seymour said the witnesses had stated distinctly that the remand upon the 18th was a remand backed upon the original charge. Mr. Justice Blackburn replied that the application was that there might be a remand of the prisoners to the con stable. Mr. Justice Mellor reviewed the history of the warrants, and admitted that the omission to back the warrants was informal, but the magistrates acted upon the discretion with which they were invested. Mr. Seymour replied that irregularities were constantly creeping i nto the prsctioe of the law, and could only be cured signal examples of their mischief. Even sup posing t hat the warrants from London and Dublin were in evidence before the magistrates, that was no justification for the remand or commitment for felony. The warrant from Irelandspoke of treason and treasonableintercourse in Ireland for the purpose of overthrowing her Majesty's crown. Did that justify an English magistrate in com mitting a man in an English court on a charge of felony ? The law was very tender upon these points. It was so tender that in a case of indictment for rescue where the detention was for a felony, and not upon suspicion, the indictment had been quashed. He had lately read a case which, though not strictly to the point, was an illustration of what he was saying ; it was a charge of shooting a police- man in the execution of his duty, but the indictment was quashed because the warrant was executed by an otiiwr who had no proper jurisdiction. The case was that of " The Queen v. Saunders," audit showed how careful the law was in these matters." In answer to Mr. Justice Blackburn, Mr. Seymour stated that the case would be found in the Law Journal, vol. 36, page 87. Mr. Seymour would also call attention to a case in `• Russell on Crimes," vol. 1, page 161. He urged that the evidence showed no sign of any of the accused persons being animated by towards Sergeant Brett or ageinat any man. The essential element was wanting in asking the jury to convict these men of the crime of wil ful murder, and that was the legality and the regularity of the imprisonment of the two men who were the subject• of the rescue. The Attorney-General argued that it was solely on the ground that where a person was himself ille gally in custody, it might be aasumed that he was acting under provocation, just like the provocation of receiving a blow or some other insult, that the crime might be reduced from murder to manslaughter. Mr. Serjeant O'Brien called attention to Bray's case, reported in the first volume of " Russell on Crimes." It touched the point which the Attorney-General was argu ing —how far strangers might interfere to rescue a pri soner. The judges in that case divided, five being for murder, and seven for manslaughter, on the ground of pro vocation. Mr. Justice Blackburn said Bray's ease, or what he should call Salley's case, which were one and the same, had probably no applica tion to the present case; but it was the case that went the farthest for that position. Mr. Justice Mellor said that in Sulley's case the judges held that it was manslaughter because it was a sudden action, without malice or design of doing hurt, but only to prevent the imprisonment of the woman and rescue her from any unlawful restraint of her liberty. Mr. Bannon contended that in the present case the evidence showed not a sudden action, but a predetermined concert. Alr. Seymour protested against the case being pot as one of civil action between Brett and his prisoners. Serjeant O'Brien contended that in a case of a man rescuing himself from illegal custody the law recognised not merely provocation but justification. The question then arose how far provocation might be recognised in others who believed the man was illegally detained. Mr. Cottingham and Mr. O'Brien supported the argu ment, which was replied to by the Attorney-General, Mr. Pickering, and Mr. Hannon, . . Mr. Juutice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Mellor ultimately retired to lunch, promising to consider the points raised and give an answer on their return. Mr. Justice Blackburn (on the reassembling of the court after lunch) said, on consideration he and his brother Mellor had decided, when the case was concluded, to put it to the jury to consider whether the prisoners had a com mon design to rescue Kelly and Deasy from the priso theand jury were satisfied they did it using dangerous violence, they were of opinion it would constitute the crime of murder. They were of opinion that even supposing the prisoners had been told that Kelly and Deasy were detained under a warrant which was not regular or legal, that would not excuse them for using dangerous violence in rescuing them. lie would not say anything as to what might be their opinion if the case had arisen from sudden impulse under provocation. They thought the prisoners in the van were under legal detention. Mr. Seymour submitted there would be another question for the jury—as to whether there was a common intent to rescue, and one of them used an excess of violence, all the rent would be equally guilty. Mr. Justice Blackburn— If there was a common design to use dangerous violence to procure the rescue by one, the others aiding would be fully as guilty. In answer to a question from Mr. Seymour, his lordship said, after their return to London, they should he glad to be furnished with any further information as to points which had been argued. Mr. Seymour said he proposed to call witnesses for all the prisoners except Allen before he addressed the jury. The witnesses under examination when our report left were those previously examined to prove alibis before the magistrates. Mr. Seymour will address the jury for the defence early to-morrow. LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN TUE SOUTH OF LONDON. —Last night a public meeting was held in the lecture-hall, Carter-street, Wa!worth, for the purpose of considering the objects of en association which has been recently formed in the district by a number of ratepayers, who are dissatisfied with the administration of the local governing bodies. Mr. W. Malthouse occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings with a speech denunciatory of the vestry and board of guardians, who he said neglected to discharge their duty to the ratepayers, and glossed over the defalcations of one of the collectors. Mr. J. ti. W. Bishop proposed a resolution approving of " The St. Mary, Newington, Ratepayers' Association," the principal aims of which are " to obtain an equitable assessment of the houses and property in the pan - a 6 ;to watch vigilantly the parochial expenditure ; to promote the election of those ratepayers to parochial offices who are known to be men of strict integrity and economic principles ; to obtain an equalisation of poor rates throughout the metropolis ; and to take steps to relieve the ratepayers of the heavy expen- diture required in maintaining the public roads, caused by the abolition of the turnpike trusts, believing it to be nothing but simple justice that the duty received by the government on public vehicles, &c., should be applied to the repair of roads." The resolution was adopted, and in the course of the discussion which followed there seemed to be a general belief in favour of municipal institutions as a means of reducing the rates. The Irish Railway Commissioners met yesterday at 2, Victoria-street, Westminster. Present—Sir Alex ander Y. Spearman, Dart., Mr. John Fowler, and Mr. C. E. Seymour Clarke. The secretary (Mr. W. Neilson Hancock, LL.D.) was also present. VIE POLICE COURTS. I;UILDHALL. Jaws Rich, se umbrella maker, living at No. 4, Col ville's-buildings, }lentilll-row, was placed at the bar on remand before Alderman Hale, charged with stealing three bundles of umbrella ribs from the warehouse of Mr. Charles Hooper, of Baginghall-street. The prisoner, it appeared, was in the habit of going into the prosecutor's house to buy single umbrella sticks, and on Friday last he went in for a penny one. While Samuel; Hooper went downstairs to get the stick Miss Hooper saw the prisoner put his hand down under a fixture and take twoof the bundles of umbrella ribs and roll them up in • wrapper he carried with him. After he left the warehouse she told her brother, and William Potts, 135, followed him and apprehended him in Blue Anchor-alley, Sunhat row, and found on him the three bundles, which were iden tified by Samuel Hooper as the property of his brother, and further stated that they had not been sold. Mr. Beard, who appeared for the prisoner, asked the magistrate to deal with the case as one of unlawful poesir 'ion. That was the first time the prisoner had been to trouble, and he had a wife and three children. There was not the slightest imputation against him for anything else. Alderman Hale sentenced him to one month's imprison ment with hard labour. Zlizobeth Griffiths, who had no home, was charged before Alderman Halo with annoying the complainant in the con duct of his busineu. Mr. Percy Charles Whittaker said he and his brother were wholesale perfumers. The prisoner bad been their housekeeper, but in December List they discovered she had robbed them to a very large extent. She had taken perfumery manufactured and unmanufactured, beds, bedding, knives, forks, and, in fact, everything she could lay her bands on. She was brought to this court, committed for trial, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Since she came out of prison she was continually coming to his place of business, annoying him, and wanting him to give her an order to get some things out of the hands of the sheriffs which she claimed, and which they retained. He declined to have any thing to do with the matter, and in consequence of his refusal she created a disturbance, and annoyed him in his business. Mclennan }{:de bound her over in her o 411 recognisanc to keep the peace and be of good behaviour loi uwLive months. CLERK EN WELL. Mrs. Mary Molene Bloom, of 18, Barbara-street, Isling ton, applied to Mr. Barker for a protection order against her husband, who had left her for some and was now cohabiting with another woman at eau:. Mr. Barker granted the order, and told the applicant to get it registered in the county court of the district in which she resides. Mary Wu Wain was charged before Mr. Barker with being drunk and disorderly in St. Pancras-road. On Wednesday evening the defendant refused to go away, used extremely had language, acid when taken into custody threw herself down and had to be carried off ou a stretcher. It was stated that she had been more than 100 times in custody on charges of drunkenness, disorderly conduct, amanita, and felony, and had been several times sent to prison. Mr. Barker ordered her to pay a fi ne of 205., or in default to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for 14 days. FARNHAM WORKHOUSE. The first meeting of the board of guardians of the Farnham Union subsequent to the report of the Lancet Sanitary Commissioners, which has produced so much ex citement, not unmixed with public indignation, took place yesterday in the board-room at the Farnham Workhouse, when the subject alluded to was brought forward for dis ctuotion.l Some conversation took place relative to the course which the board would adopt in reference to the Poor-law inquiry announced to take place, and it was considered desirable by several guardians that the discussion should be continued with closed doors, although they desired that the inquiry itself should be public. The opinion of the guardians was expressed by Mr. Eve, who said—As the board are aware, there will be an inquiry into an accusation which I for one deny the existence of, and I consider it very frivolous, vexatious, and false—(hear, hear)—and, inasmuch as there must be an inquiry, I want to know whether the guardians will not, with closed doors, consider as to what way the inquiry shall take place. I have • letter from the inspector whose conduct has been grievously impugned, and who has as much right to complain as we have, inasmuch as he is • paid officer, but oar services are given gratuitously. Mr. Rousici thought all would agree to the suggest ion ' without incurring any reproach fur holding the inquiry with closed doors. Mr. Eve—ln point of fact there is no authority with in dividual guardians as to the mode in which an inquiry is to be conducted, nor min they clh,tate to the Poor-law Board, but the guardians hare have nothing whatever to conceal. As far as I have had an opportunity of judging, they have endeavoured to do their duty, and, with refer ence to the statements made, you will agree that they are exaggerated in may respects. The guardians have at tempted to do their duty, and there has been no shirk ing of responsibilities. I feel with them that for years past a state of things has been tolerated in this workhouse which was like nothing but Pandemonium,but when it goes on to say that it was a Pandemonium simply through your having ignored all complaints, except from the master, it becomes unjust, as no complaint would arise but would have been listened to calmly and delibe rately by you. If the state of the infirmary in this work house be as it is described, then it was the duty, not of any single guardian, but of the medical edicer himself, to report thereon, which he never did. (Hear, hear.) It is his duty to bring the matter firmly before the hoard for consideration, that the board might make some amend ment There might be some laxity on the part of the visiting guardians, but it is not possible for men of busi ness to be coming here and looking into every minute corner. I have, as a visitor, gone over the workhouse, and I do not find that the wails are dirty and the rooms so bars as they are described, but I found it to all appearance decent, and better than I have found rooms at militia and military station,. Our paupers cannot be expected to have luxuries —(a Voice : "They do have them ")—but I do expect them to have comforts, and in cases of sickness more than com forts. The visitors who have been here have not received complaints from the paupers themselves, and it is the paupees' duty to complain, and on the medical officer see ing anything wrong it was his bounden duty to report it. We have only one duty to perform, and that is to see that this house is kept in proper order, and, so far as we can, to attend to all complaints that may be brought before us. If, as guardians, we have seen anything wrong,. it was our duty to bring it before the board. That wh ich I have seen I have noticed, and I fear we have not sufficient ac commodation for those who are suffering from contagious diseases. It is necessary to provide a proper house for persons so suffering in every pariah. The guardians themselves are not the hard-hearted persons they are represented to be, and they have ever endeavoured to make amendments when such have been required. There may be some who are narrow in their minds, but it shall not be said that any poor person who has applied for relief has made complaint without having had full redress. With reference to a statement at the end of that report, namely, that this workhouse is a reproach to England, a scandal and curse to Christendom, I leave that to those who know this house well, and who have come to this board to judge of the truth of that statement. I know the house is clean and tidy, and there are • number of persons outside who would be happy to have such shelter over their heads. We cannot go into the construction of the house ; that is a matter for the Poor-law Board. It has been certified by the Poor-law Board, and they are responsible fur its defects. (Hear, hear.) Much has been said against the Poor-law inspector. He is kind, and if he has failed in his duty it has not been from any fault of the heart so much as the head. I have no doubt he will justify him self fully, but I am here as a guardian, and any complaint made has been attended to. I therefore move " That the guardians communicate at once to the Poorlaw Board their wish that a full, fair, and open inquiry take place into the matters in question, and that an inspector un acquainted with the district be , appointed to conduct such inquiry. _ _ iheCHAIRMILV—The statement of the Lancet commis sioners, together with several other statements consequent upon it, of course caused me great an . When I was Let in the country I heard that an inquiry was pro jected, and that it was proposed Mr. Hawley should come down to make that inquiry. I took the liberty, without consulting you, to go to the Poor-law Board, and to in. form them that the course proposed would not be satisfac tory to the board of guardians or to the public. Upon that the Poor-law Board wrote to Mr. Hawley, and begged him to defer the investigation until a future day. There has been no stifling the matter on the part of the Poor-law Board. They are desirous of having an open inquiry, and I wish it to go forth to the public from this room that it is the intention of nobody to conceal anything whatever in connexion with this union. A day or two before the Laned commissioners visited the house I and others inspected the building, and this entry in the visitors' book shows the result of our inspection :—" Visited the sick wards, and also those occu pied by widows and children. Found some repairs neces sary in the wards and lavatories, and also recommended that water be laid on to the north of male infirmary. In all other reskfcts these wards are cleanly, and the patients comfortable. After a few further remarks from other guardians in support of those previously given, the motion was seconded by Mr. Simmons, and unanimously agreed to. The official inquiry which was to have taken place to day ham been indefinitely postponed. TRAFFIC RETURNS. Mlles Pu- Mgr- Total, Total. RAILWAYS. open. *engem chandlse. 1867. 3866.

OPENING OF A NEW LINE OF RAILWAY.—TO day the Wellington and Market Drayton Railway will be opened for through traffic, and a new route will thus be afforded to passengers from Wolverhampton and the Pot teries to Crewe, Manchester, Stockport, and the north. The new line is seventeen miles in length, and has been constructed by Messrs. Bnuney and Field, who cut the first sod in 1885. The line will be worked by the Great Western Company, in connection with their through traffic from London to Manchester, and the effect will be to save the time and distance lest by the present necessary detour rid Shrewsbury and Chester. To the north, Liverpool, from Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol, and the western dis trict, the opening of the new route will also be of consi derable advantage, as affording a direct means of commu nication without the necessity of going either by Shrews bur/ or Stafford.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADPORI), Om ;I. —There are conflicting accounts as to the state of the wool market. Some staplers say there is more inquiry, while others say there is none. The inquiries however are without doubt confined to spinners, who bare taken a few orders which they seek to cover with wool The market is not so gloomy as on Youday, and is much less cheerful than on Thursday, The better sorts of wool which are most in demand are steadier. The firmness of last Thursday is only partially maintained, the depression at the beginning of the week having tended to produce some slight rreaknore and irregularity. The same contradictory accounts are observed in wonted yarns. While some represent the market as decidedly fiat, others say that there is a fair inquiry for some sorts of two-fold yarns, via, fars, 32'5, and :pi's, also for 40's single, for Russia. Inferior sorts of two-folds continue to be neglected. Some few of the leading spinners are still fully employed. Quotations are irregular. The piece trade is equally dull. The unfavourable accounts from America, the high price of corn, and the quiet state of the cotton market at Liverpool have a tendency to check business in plain geode. The home houses are placing orders in fancy goods for spring. The export merchants place few speculative orders. Everyone is acting with the greatest caution. Prices do not improve. CORN.—BIRMINGHAN, OCT. 31.—At this day's market there was a less supply of wheat, which sold slowly at rather over previous currency, but we make no alteration in our quotations. Barley in demand at last week's rates. Oats only taken in limited quantities. Beans and peas firm. Baisroc, OCT. 31.—Arrivals this week are heavy of foreign wheat and barley ; of other articles moderate. The corn trade has been characterised by considerable anima tion through the week, with prices daily advancing. Within the last day or two, however, the excitement has gradually subsided. On our to-day's market there was a fair supply of English wheat, which sold slowly at la. per qr. advance. Foreign in very limited inquiry, buyers having supplied their immediate wants earlier in the week. Malting barley in full supply, and Is. per qr. lower. Grinding steady, at former prices. Oats attracted scarcely any attention, and values gave way tid. per qr. Indian corn ls. per qr. lower. Beans firm. Devizes, OCT. 31.—We had a brisk demand to-day for all bearqualities of wheat, and fine dry samples produced Is. more money than last week. Of such samples there was a good clearance ; but damp lots remained on band.' Bsrley was in fair supply, and best samples made last week's prices ; but inferior parcels were rather in favour of the buyer. Other articles as before quoted. Best white wheat, Me. to 40s. ; best red ditto, 375. 6d. to 395. 6d.• new ditto, 365. to 395.• barley, 345. to 475.; beans, Va: to 28s. ; oats, 21s. to 325. ; peas. 21s. to 25e. • vetches. 245. to 295. ; rye, 19s. to 21s. ; fi ne flour, 56 5. to 595.; best seconds, 545. to 565. bLurcuzsrzu, Ocr. 3L—Our market this morning was tolerably well attended, but there was not much disposi tion for business on the part of buyers. English wheat met a slow sale, at an advance of le. per quarter, and foreign at 3d. to 4d. per rental more money. Flour was held for full prices, but the demand was limited. In oats or oatmeal there was no change. Egyptian beans were Is. per quarter higher, while English merely ruled steady. Indian corn was likewise Is. per quarter dearer. NEWARK, OCT. 30.—The shoW , of wheat was by no means large. The trade was healthy, and an advance of 2a. per qr. was obtained. Fine barley made about late rates ; interior a little lower. Demand for oats fair, at rather more money. Beans were steady. NEWBURY, Ocr. 31.—Onr market was well supplied with wheat. The trade very slow. Fine parcels fetched la. more than last week. Barley a steady sale, at Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Oats moved off at la. more money. No change in beans. UIBRIDOT, Oer. 31.—The supply of wheat is large, and the trade good at 2a. per qr. advance on last week's prices. Spring oorn is short in supply, and all aorta maintain the previous value. EDINBTRGH, OCT. 30.—As compared with last week, wheat was same on top, and ds. 2d. up on average ; barley was Is. up on top, and Is. up on average ; oats were le. up on top. and 2d. down on average ; beans were 4s. down on top, and Is. :id. down ou average. Wheat, 475. to tige. ; barley, Ms. to 45a. ; oats, 245. to 375. ; beans, 475. CATTLE.-Biusroc, Ocr. 31.-We again had a large ' supply of !stet at our market to-day although it was not quite so large as last week, holders keeping back in con sequence of the dull sales of the past few weeks. There ware purchasers from Kent, Southampton, and other places, but trade remained dull at last week's prices, best descriptions realising from 65a. to 68e. per cwt., and middling and inferior sorts from 60s. to 635. The supply of sheep was also large, though the pens were not so full as last week. Trade was dull, and things changed hands at the low rates which have recently prevailed. Very good mutton was bought at 6d. per lb., but a more average figure for best wethers was 611., and for light, small sheep the quotations were • shade higher. The supply of store cattle consigned from Ireland was rather limited, and owing to the presence of the eastern counties buyers, trade was more active, a clearance being effected without difficulty. There was scarcely anything doing in store sheep, but a few lambs arc wanted for the winter, and they would command high prices. A moderate *how of mach cows of indift erent quality, but good descriptions, were in request at firm prices ; from 161. to 221. was an average figure for those on offer. A short supply of pigs, with a rather active trade at last week's prices. The show of horses was unusually good, but there were scarcely any purchasers, and only a small business was done. NorriNGliam, Ocr. 30.-There was only a middling supply of beasts, but quite enough for the demand, the rates being from its. to Be. Gd. for best quality, and for aecond ditto from 71. to tts. A good show of sheep realised rather lower prices, from 6d. to 62d. being given for superior quality, and for coarser sorts from 51d. to 641. Veal fetched from 71d. to Bd. per lb. Porket pigs were bought at from Gs. 3.1. to tis. 9d. ; and bacon pigs from Ga. 3d. to Ga. 6d. Cattle at market :-Wednesday: Beasts, 252 ; sheep, 1,024; pigs, 9. EDINBCRCH, OCT. 30.-The number of cattle this mom ing was less than on this day se'nnight, there being 344, or a decrease of 105 bead. The demand was good, and • good clearance was effected, at prices fully higher than those obtained at last market. Top price of the beet beef, Bs. 3d. ; current, Bs. to Ba. 41. ; midd li ng and in ferior. Gs. Gd. to 7s. 6d. per atone.
