The Austrian Gazette says :—"The imperial government *oar bid the most remote ides of appropriating any single object belonging to the national institutions of Lombardo-Venetia. On the contrary, the Austrian government has ordered a conscientious division of the property accordingly as it belongs to either Italy or Austria.

The summing up of the Judge Advocate in the court-martial on Captain Jervis was delivered to day, and was of an impartial character. The court decided in three hours, but their find ing has not been announced, pending its confirma tion by the Commander-in-Chief. A POLICE COMMISSARY AND HIS MISTAKE. The peaceful town of Morlaix, in La Bretagne Bretonnante, part of Brittany, was in a state of great excitement last week, owing to one of the moat extraordinary trials upon record. Nine persons belonging to some of the most respectable families of the place, including a lieutenant of the fire brigade, named Le Roy, were indicted for giving a eharivari—the best translation of which is " rough music"—to the commissary of police. M. Jules Fevre was brought down from Paris to defend the accused. A deplorable mistake on the part of the commissary of police was at the bottom of the affair. A young girl of 17, whose parents are lodging-house keepers at Morlaix, was employed by them to keep the register of all persons sleeping in the house, which people who let furnished lodgings are re quired to show to the police. Last June, the com missary being on the look-out for some book hawkers suspected of vending unlicensed litera ture, asked this girl whether two persons whom he named were in the house. She, for reasons which do pot appear, said they were not ; and the answer was untrue. When the commissary found out that the men in question had been there, he severely reprimanded the master and mistress of the house, and they, to excuse them selves, threw all the blame upon their daughter, awl authorised the comasissary to " give her a lesson," or, as it is vulgarly said, to " frighten her." He with this intention told one of his agents to bring the girl to his office, and keep her there till he came in. The man mis understanding his orders put the girl in the lock up cell, called the violas, where she was detained, ac cording to some witnesses one hour, and according to others three hours. This most unwarrantable act caused some commotion in the town, but it was speedily followed by something infinitely worse. The commissary has obtained a reputation for draconian severity in enforcing the laws placing courtesans under the surveillance of the police. His suspicious eye being now fixed upon the young daughter of the lodging-house keepers, he lent his ear to a malicious information laid by one of the frail sisterhood, accusing the poor lass of being one of them. There upon he inflicted upon her the last indignity which, in the point of view of French manners, can be inflicted upon a woman. He sent her a carte with her name and number extracted from his registry of bad women, and ordered her to attend the police doctor every week. The parents proved, and the commissary of police now admits, that there was no shadow of ground for the imputation upon the young girl. The thing got noised abroad, and eteteris paribus produced as great a sensation in Morlaix, as the affair of Wat Tyler's daughter did in London, temp. Richard 11. On the 13th of Auguattwoorthree hundred peopleassembled round the commissary of police's house, hisaing, hooting, and rattling pots and kettles. The three gendarmes who constituted the public force of the place were called out. They arrested a young man aged 16, who was vociferating "Down with the commissary." A disposition being shown by the crowd to rescue this youth, the sub-prefect ordered the three gendarmes to " draw swords." Thereupon M. Le Roy, the lieutenant of Pompiers —one of the dons of a country town—interposed, stood between the gendarmes' horses and the mob, and exclaimed, " They shall never draw upon the people of Morlaix." He then spoke to the major's adjoint, promised that if the prisoner were given up the crowd would disperse quietly, and without more ado went into the guardhouse and brought him out. The people then went home, and the streets became quiet. It was for the riot and rescue under these circumstances that M. Le Roy and eight of his fellow-citizens were indicted. The public prosecutor made no account of the ex treme provocation, saw nothing but the breach of the law and the misprision of authority, and called for " severe repression." M. Jules Fevre argued that in a case where the most flagrant and terrible breach of the law had in the first instance been committed by a representative of authority, the citizens who had resented the outrage under feelings of most righteous indignation should be treated with the utmost indulgence. He represented that none of the so called rioters had dune anything more than make a noise. They had neither used nor threatened violence. And as to the alleged rescue by Lieutenant Le Roy, he might well have thought that in his position he was acting as one of the authorities, and exercising a wise discretion for the sake of the public peace. The court, however, found all the prisoners guilty, and passed sen tences upon them, which, under the circumstances, must be considered severe. Some were sentenced to a month's imprisonment, some to fifteen days, and M. Le Roy to four days. im THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. The Levant Herald of the 29th ult. says that the commotion in Crete shows no sign of abatement. Up to the date of the latest news from the island no actual collision had taken place between the insur gents and the troops, both the governor and the military commander Ferik Osman Pacha, pleading illness as their reason for inaction. The former had, it was said, twice tendered his resignation, but the Porte has declined to accept it. Osman Pacha was at Retymo, laid up with gout, and his doctors had recommendeda change of climate. The alarm of the Mussulman population, who are largely in the minority in the island, is described as being great, and most of ther have taken refuge in the three garrisonec towns of Candia, Canea, and Retymo, the military authorities of which at first did their best to pre vent their flocking in. " Here in the capital " (adds the Levant Herald) " the government appears bent on trying a further effort of conciliation, and if that fail, on stamping the movement out by a free use of military force. Kiraly Mustapha Pacha, who governed the island during its occupation by Mehemet Ali, and reaped his reward in the accu mulation of a princely fortune, is, it is said, at the Porte, to be named imperial commissioner to in vestigate on the spot the alleged grievances of the insurgents. As a token of palace favour in prospect of this service, he received on Sunday the Osmaniii in brilliants. Simultaneously with this appoint ment, Ferik Yayha Pacha has been named to the command of the troops in the island, with Ali and Mehemed Pachas as his brigadiers. These officers left on Monday by a special steamer to take up their commands. In the meantime, the main body of the insurgents is still concentrated in the district of Apocorona, receiving daily accessions, but keep ing strictly on the defensive." FATAL AFFRAY.—Mr. Henry Russell, a painter, of Southampton, returning home from Winchester by the mail tram, which arrived at Southampton about half-past 11 on Monday night, on his way home called in at the Unicorn Inn, St. Mary-street, where he found Mr. Ballantyne, draper, sitting in the par lour with the landlord. They had some whisky and water, and the two began joking and chafing, and to speak about religion with each other, which speedily ended in a quarreL Russell slapped Ballantyne on the cheek open-handed. Ballantyne rose to his feet, end would have struck Russell, out Mr. Palmer,the land lord, prevented it. He said " Mr. Russell and Mr. Ballantyne, I don't allow this in my house." He kept Ballantyne back in the passage while Russell passed out. They were neither of them sober, though both far from tipsy. After Russell had got out into the street he came back into the passage, and said to Ballantyne, " I will give you a good thrashing with my umbrella when you come outside." The landlord kept Ballantyne in the two or three minutes—long enough to enable Russell toget ge part of the way home, and when Ballantyne forced himself away to go out Russell stood there on the pavement. They met, and Ballantyne said, "Well ;" Russell said, " You are a blackguard, ' and struck him with the umbrella about the head. Ballantyne felt annoyed at it, struck right and left, and gave him tome very severe blows. Russell de fended himself as well as he could, and in the struggle fell backwards into the middle of the road. Palmer ran to his FENIANISM TN THE ARMY.—Private O'Reilly, of assistance and found him quite insensible. Ballantyne stood the 10th Hussars, has been sentenced to twenty years' penal hy. Palmer lifted Russell, gave him some water, and wiped servitude in Dublin for Fenianism and desertion. Seven his face, and he came round. He offered him a bed, but of the military prisoners recently convicted of treason- he declined it. He said, "I shall be right by-and-by ;it is felony, and among them the principals, Chambers, a sad affair; I didn't think he would have struck me like M'Carthy, and Darragh, have been despatched from Mount- that." Ballantyne said, " Good night, Mr. Russell, lam joy prison in the same city to Pentonville, several of them sorry for what I have done."

THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1867• • (PROM • 0011ZEIPONDINT.) I was startled one day last week, crossing the Plass Vend6me, by perceiving an avenue of trees which had apparently sprung, by some miracle, theearth, and were spreading their welcome over the toothsome splendours of Giraudin's ws, and the tipplers of American aspect who frimant a grog shop on the opposite side of the wlr Had Birnam Wood removed to Dunsinsae It was amusing to watch the wondering, the stastied expression of the passers by as the strange vision broke upon them. Presently the grove of shady trees moved forward in stately line, and wound round the western side of the Place. There was a shout of laughter when the little crowd of merry Parisians perceived that the grove was moving forward, each tree slung in a vast bag upon wheels, and drawn by three or four stout Norman homy. They were only a few of the forest that is to move by degrees to the Champs de Mars, there to cover with cool greenery the visitors to the Ex hibition in 1867. imperial commissioners are determined to maki the open-air department of the Exhibition as remarkable and se original in appearance as the covered galleries. Looking at the new coloured plan of the entire Exhibition, which has just been hewed, the idea of a vast ancient park is conveyed. There are great groves of trees, there is ample green award, there are even waterfalls ; and scat fated over this broad and beautiful will be found exhibitions of agriculture and orriculture, cattle and poultry shows, pisciculture, model home steads, implements of every variety and of every nation, from the rude thing with which the Indian scratettes the earth to the latest improvement in the steam-plough. There will be distilleries, and other works that are allied with agricultu re ; field will be marked out in which all kinds of agri- cultural implements may be tried under the eye; of juries. The place will be alive with fine speci mens of the beasts of burden of various countries. itabid intli Military. ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 6.—APPOINTIMITIL —Lien tenant& G. T.

In the park alleys will be daintily arranged basins or ponds, in which the fishes, cruatacea, and molluscs that are useful to man, will be found in their natural state. Many a visitor will be astonished as he views the various systems of piaci culture, to find that the science which has been cul tivated only of late years among us, and by which we are only just now beginning to profit (albeit it has been known a long time now, that salmon is the nearest approach to beef in its nutritious qualities), was understood so long ago in the extreme east. Much has to be learned yet in this science. It has been warmly supported by the French Emperor, who bas seconded with liberal grants the learned operations of M. Coate. But if recent reports be true, this scientific gentleman's costly experiments in oyster culture have fallen far short of the pro mised result. A very interesting feature of next year's Exhibition will be the competition among the fish cultivators ; among whom, it may be re marked, the sister of the late celebrated Mdlle. Rachel is a conspicuous experimentalist. The horticultural display will be spread in the parks, and the flowers will be constantly renewed accord ing to their season throughout the period during which the Exhibition will be open. With the shrubs and flowers will be displayed various gardening plans, and hothouse designs and systems. The general plan and conception of the park is in the English, or picturesque style, with winding paths and abrupt turns. Even in this park the plan of the covered exhibition has been carried out. The part of the park allotted to each country will be immediately outside its space within the building ; so that when the clothes of all nations, and the art and food of all nations have been examined, the traveller may make a journey round the agriculture and the horticulture of the world ; noting the beasts of burden, the ploughs and harrows, the homesteads and farm produce of each country on his way. Let him issue from the exhibition building where he may, he will find him self under a broad colonnade with parterres of the richest flowers before him. The manner in which the furnaces and boilers for providing motive power for the machinery have been distributed is inge nious. They will be found well shut in, so as not to spoil the effect of the park, at intervals all round the building ; and they will illustrate at the same time all the various economical and ingenious ways in which the precious steam of our day is generated. But this is not all. About the furnacesand boilers the commissionershave grouped the various industries which require fire for their pursuit. The smith will be seen at his forge, the nailer at his work. Here and there amid the trees we shall catch the red light of a forge, or hear the metallic music of the anvil. Amid one group we shall find glass-makers making glass, and in another the exquisitely skilful bronze-caster pouring the bright liquid metal into his sand-mould, and near him the enamel worker, with anxious face, committing his beautiful labours to the furnace. The change from the regular lines of the galleries, from the measured Work of man, to nature spread in the open parks, will be gradual. From the forge and the furnace, the visitor will reach the stable and the poultry-yard, and survey the various races of the animal kingdom that man has subjected to his use. By the Ecole Militaire a river will be made to divide itself into two branches, to flow to the west and to the east through the park, and to empty itself finally into the Seine. By the Ecole also will be set up labora tories for the learned who may wish to make experiments, and an amphitheatre where professors who have any new theory to propound to the learned may address them. Even the banks of the Seine have been adapted to the convenience of visitors, so that those who travel to it by boat may land within the precincts of the Exhibition itself. There will be even baths at hand for the visitors' enjoyment. The Seine will be utilised, moreover, for the display of hydraulic and other kindred machines. The hydraulic machines will, of course, be turned to account to supply the river in the park, and to water the gardens. Having been at the pains and vast expense of spreading a beautiful park upon a desert of sand, the authori ties naturally wish to turn it to the utmost account. They have resolved to leave all the park, with the restaurants of all nations, open till midnight. It will be a fairy scene on summer evenings, and will preserve its charm over visitors by its infinite variety. Round about will be theatres, and con certs, and clubs, all brilliantly lit with gas, to say nothing of lecture and meeting rooms, wherein the serious lessons of the great show will be submitted to those who may be in search of something more than mere amusement. Plinarriotoric SocigrY.—A quarterly court of the governors of this society, which has for its object the reformation of juvenile offenders, was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. Gladstone, the treasurer, in the chair. The report for the quarter ending 30th June last stated that the total receipts during that period were 2,8351. 13s. 5d., including"' balance of 9451.95. 10d. in the hands of the bombers. Of this sum 591. was the farm ac count, and 421. had been received from brick-making. The expenditure amounted to 2,2391.45. 3d., leavin rte g there we • balancere in hand of 6961. 9s. 2d. During the quar admitted 27 boys, four of whom were from the London police courts, one from the Central Criminal Court, and the remainder from different part of the country. During the same period 21 boys were discharged , 15 being at or near the end al their teems. Two boys bad deserted and had not yet been o recovered, one Tads sent to prison for desertion, and had died. e nember la the school 011 the 31st August last was 261. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said the institution was in a most , presperatui condition. The Secretary announced that the Harvest-home* scald be held attbeinstifscticra on Wodmeedsy next. THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A VOLUNTEER. After our report left yesterday, Wes. Jerrold, assistant pauper keeper in the lunatic ward when the deceased was a dm itted, said that deceased smelt of drink. Witness saw bruises on the back of the hoed, the left ear, the right arm, and the right leg. Wit ness only mentioned the bruises on the 14 to Dr. Harris when he came ; he forgot to tell him about the others. Witness did not tell Dr. Harris anything about its being a drinking case. Dr. Harris put his head in at the door, smelt the drink;' and said, "Oh I I will see him to morrow." Dr. Harris afterwards told witness to put deceased's head high, and give him certain nourishment ; broth, ice. Deceased could not take the nourishment. Deceased was put in the room for refractory lunatics ; for witness considered that it wee •delirium tremens case, and that when he revived a little he might be violent. There was • latch on the door ; there was a bar to the door, but wit ness could not swear he put it up. If it wee not up about thirty lunatics in the ward could get in to the deceased, but witness was there to mind them. The paid lunatic keeper was absent on a holiday for 11 days, and witness and another were doing dnq for him. 'Witaeas never before put a man in the padded room on his own Wben witness took off deceased's oast he did not observe the blood on it. On Thursday afternoon Dr. Harris ordered deceased to be removed to the sick ward. On that occasion witness noticed again the injuries to the neck, end told Dr. Harris of them. Deceased get no medicine up to Wednesday afternoon. These saw no mud m deceased's coat. Charles Franklin, helper in the lunatic ward, corrobo rated last witness, and said that deceased had blood on his right ear when admitted. He smelt of drink. There was no mud on his coat, but there was blood on his waistcoat. The door of the padded room was on the latch ; it was not locked against the other lunatics. Witness, as well as the last witness, was elways in the ward. When the de ceased first came in there was a gurgling in his throat. Crosa-esamined by Mr. Bradberry—Last witness reported to the doctor about the gurgling in the throat, bat witness did not hear him. Witness showed last witness the blood on the deceased's ear. It appeared to witness as if de ceased had had a severe blow with a weapon under the ear, and so he told Mr. Dillon, deputy keeper of the lunatic ward. Dillon said that it was a very nasty blow, and he did not like the look of it. That was on Thursday. Dr. Harris had not seen deceased that day, but he had seen him twice on Wednesday. When the doctor saw the in jury afterwards he said he did not like its appearance. The doctor remained about two minutes and a half. Louisa Mullocks, paid nurse, said that she received the deceased in No. 15 sick ward on Thursday. He was in sensible. She examined him and found a large bruise behind the left ear, and others on the right elbow and leg. There was a little blood, as if from a scratch, on the right ear. He died between eight and nine o'clock on Thurs day night. The doctor saw all the injuries, and gave di- mations ;he cut part of the hair off. HA said abet the deceased was in a dying state. Jane Farrell, pauper nurse in the sick ward, said that Dr. Harris saw deceased immediately he was brought into that ward, and ordered wet cloths to his head, stimulants, So. It was then about two o'clock. The doctor did not see him again till after death. What the doctor ordered was done. Tire Coroner said that the case must be adjourned again, as be had other appointments, and it was then after three o'clock. He could not examine the medical witnesses then. The proceedings were accordingly adjourned. THE WEATHER IN THE PROVINCES. During Tuesday night and Wednesday heavy rains fell almost continuously in all parts of Yorkshire. The land is so saturated with the late rainfall that all the rain of Wednesday is expected to run off the land, and another floods apprehended. All farm work is entirely stopped, and the general outcry is of fears of sprouted corn. Fanners for a fortnight have had their harvest hands engaged, but hitherto the weather has almost en tinily kept them inactive. On the other hand, provided the rivers do not again overflow, the rains will do good service in washing the rend off the herbage of the grass lands recently inundated. The weather in Leeds on Wednesday was of a most singular character. The morning was dark and gloomy, and rain fell without intermission from an early hour. Towards II o'clock the sky assumed a blacker and heavier appearance, and the clouds became so thickly massed as altogether to obscure the sun, producing a dark ness as dense as that of midnight. This phenomenon lasted for about a quarter of an hour, during which gas was lighted all over the town, and ontqlnor work altogether suspended. When the clouds had partially cleared away, and daylight again appeared, rain fell very freely for seve ral hours. Although relieved by occasional glimpses of sunshine, the weather during the remainder of the day was of a wet and unpleasant character, and at night the barometer was still falling. At Mahon the rainfall of July and August has been greater than since 18.1,, when the last summer flood occurred. The depth of rain in the two months at Melton, was 7.6/ inches, and the rainfall of the present year, up to August 31, is 19.110, and this fall has only been exceeded in 1860, in the first eight months of which 23.08 inches fell, and the harvest was very had. With the four wettest months to come, the Melton register is only about 5.50 short of the average annual fall. Deluging rains continued to fall up to the mid.day of the sth, and the Trent, the Boer, the Erewash, and other riven of the midland counties, with their tributaries, have filled very rapidly. It is many years since there was so much rain in August , and the harvest, which a month ago bid fair to be moderately early, has been greatly delayed, the farmers during the pest few days being compelled to case out-door work altogether. In many places tie crops are yet far from ripe, the absence of sun during !the put month causing them to remain unmatured. In the vale of the Trent, at Ratcliffe and other places, the waters are partially out, but no considerable amount of damage is re ported. The lowlands in Northamptonshire. Leicester. shire, and Warwickshire have also been flooded, and wherever the pasture is rich the excrement left by the flood will injure it for some time. In Lincolnshire the rains have been exceedingly heavy, and farmers are an ticipating a good deal of damage to the corn, both cut and uncut. A good deal has been secured in this great oorn county, some has been well houses', and the qua li ty is well s n p e oken of, whilstn.ln Nat another portion of the crop has been gar. ped too gbionshire and Leicestershire the amount of yain that has fallen is very great, and farmers are expecting the barley that has remained cut in the e field for some time to glow again. The most favoura thing attending the open weather has been the drying winds, and as no serious amount of damage has been re ported of the wheat crop yet, • fortnight's fine weather now would nearly complete the wheat harvest ; and if the crop is not burned in too rapidly the quality will not be amiss. The rains have greatly benefitted both mangold and turnips, and there will be plenty of this valuable food cattle. THE RAINING or THE LONDON.—We understand Mr. Page now intends to adopt new method for the suiting of this reseel. Previously, it will be remembered, it was his intention first to stop every leak in the vessel, and then pump the water out of her, and thus accomplish the task of lifting her. This scheme was attended with so much difficulty that he has now abandoned it. He con templates that by making fast a vessel on each side of the steamer at low water he will be able .to take the London from bar bed as the tide rises. The same plan was adopted by Captain Hicks with the Dalhousie, but in consequenos of the chains continually napping it proved abortive. It is stated that Ur. Page's operations are se far advanced that the attempt may be made very Desadts ddvatiatr. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The four seta of commissioners continue to meet and take widows. At Lancaster the commissioners found it flowery to speak rather sharply to two of the witnesses. One of them being pressed to state from whom he obtained • list of voters for bribing purposes, cold be wished to give • truthful answer if he know how. A exanmirioner rid be had strew doubts of that, and the man retorted that he believed the gentlemen waked him to say somethiag thee was more than true. Another witness, pec t ic in his statement that he did not know w ho pre roc voters to p to • man who had messy for art ; the lour" missioners warned him that they had 'heady sufficient against him to have him indicted, and that if he did not mind they would withhold his certificre. It seems that in ele ctioneering tires in Lancaster • elm of rasa known as worthies " are of ossaidsrable baptisers. The same was given as a pros of irony, for it applied to plet who were worth little, and who were noted for their fondness for drink. The conservative candidate of one of the districts, thinking to be exceedingly gracious to his voters, hired banjo and burdy-gunly women to play in his district.—At Great Yarmouth yesterday the oommis rioners examined a great number of voters who con fessed to having been bribed, and some who were ludic neat at the idea of having received mosey for their votes. It appeared that still more roan had been paid to per. sons who gave in the names of voters without having authority. Sometimes the voters themselves bad been actually paid by the other side. Two or three wives of voters were called, and one of them seemed very indignant with the conservative agent who had split upon her. She took money for her husband's vote, but would never have done it if she could have thought that there was this expire in store for her. She thought the agent must have bra " half biked" to have split as he did. Or witness seemed to be purled by bootleg frequent amerce of liberals and conservatives and being called upon for evidence, he could only remember the lad named party as " Servitudes." He was astonished that the word caused loud la hter, and in answer to questions, said that he had no " lern i ng ;" he had only known the two parties as Blues and Reds. Oonsiderable amorous was Gauged by the answers given by witnesses to questions response; the " secret" money man. One witness only I looked a t ate side of his far, another only at the money, and a third thought he had a " turn" in his eye. One voter said that up to 1865 he had always voted for the Urals, but in that year personal interest caused him to change his opinions—At Trees, Mr. Ousootte, of the firm of Smith and Gusootte, told how it was that Colonel Dawkins became • candidate for that borough. He wanted to get into parliament that be might expose what he considered the injustice with which he had been treated. lie consulted Messrs. Smith and Garotte, in the hands of whose bankers he had placed about 9,ooBl.,respecting the best place for which be should become • candidate. Exeter was spoken of, but there Mr. Cole ridge rood in the way. Kidderminster was also men. trued, and at last Tories. After inquiries it was thought Tomes would coat about 3.000/., which Colonel Dawkins considered rather high. At last he consented to stand. Mosey was rut down, Mr. Smith taking 1,500/. in gold with him at once. arn Dawkins lost the election, and when the petition against Mr. Fender's return was preparing, rumours of an offer to compromise were pre valent. It was and that Mr. Fender would give 20,0004 if the petition was withdrawn. After all that was said to him, Colonel Dawkins persisted in carrying on the peti tion unless his ore was laid before the House of Commons. ' The commissioners were again baffled inf their attempts to trace Mr. " Mum." They examined several withers., amongst others the servants of the hotel, but they failed ha learn much respecting " Mum." • METROPOLITAN WORIROIME INFIRYARIER.—The) report of the Committee of Council of the Metropo. litan Poor Law Medical Officers' Association, appointed to consider and report on Dr. Edward Smith's report to the Metropolitan Workhouse Infirmaries, has just been published. With reference to the cubic and floor space which should be allowed in the sick wards, the committee differ from Dr. Smith in his estimate of WU cubic feet , bed, and, after investigation, renew their demand for 1, 11 , cubic feet, and 80 feet of floor space per bed. The com mittee concur, however, in his suggestions as to size, shape, and general arrangement of the wards. On the subject of ventilation the committee deny that they are indifferent to it, but though they cannot decide upon the best mode ' they dissent from the conclusion that ' the corridors should be the groat ventilators of the building." The commit.se ob serve with satisfaction that Dr. Smith admits the necessity of abolishing the system of pauper nursing, and are fur ther of opinion that the proper work of the matron is sufficiently onerous without imposing upon her the duty of • superintendent nurse. They consider also that upwards of 130 additional nurses are immediately required. With reopen to the medial °Mops, thocommiefoo*Biole It would have been more generous in Dr. numb, and, indeed, but common justice, to have assumed, until the contrary had been proved, that medical officers had discharged their duties, instead of condemning them, without proof, for the neglect of them. The committee state that it has often happened that the most energetic and faithful of the medical officers have incurred the ill-will of their respective bards, and unmerited odium and unpopularity, by doing their duty in urging necessary improvements in ventilation, dietary, he. The committee concur that the guardians should provide all medicines and • dispenser, and observe with satisfaction that the President of the Poor-lawlioanl has expressed his resolve to do justice to the legitimate claims of the medical officers respecting remuneration and duties. The committee, in conclusion, object to the manner in which some of Dr. Smith's personal inspections were con ducted, and express their deep regret that they should have been under the necessity of reflecting upon his (lin nets and sound judgn.ent. They appeal, with con fi dence, against the unfavourable verdict Dr. Smith has given upon the medical offioers, and compare it with that de livered by Mr. Farnaß, which runs as follows :—" Upon the whole, I am enabled with satisfaction to report to you that the medical officers of the metropolitan work houses appear to me to do their duty to the best of their ability ; but I am obliged to add that, in many instances, their duties are very arduous, and their salaries Wade (Mat." METROPOLITAN RENIUTT SOCIETIES' ASYLIIM.—. The seventy-third half-yearly meeting of this institution was held on Friday evening at Salters' Hotel, Victoria street ; Mr. Henry Canipkin in the chair. James Sann den, of the Loyal United Friends Society, was elected an inmate. Mr. J. F. Peters read the Auditors' report, which showed the present capital to be 7,10 7 /. 6s. 10d. The com mittee's report stated the new buildings were rapidly pro greasing and would be soon complete. There would ulti mately be accommodation for 66 married couples. Usual votes of thanks closed the proceedings. Tun hiriencnnseffit AMALGAMATED ENGINEERS. — The members of this association in Manchester had an aggregate gathering there yesterday. About ten thousand of t h em walked in procession through the leading tho roughfares of the town in the morning with bands of music and banners. The only badge worn was a niece of white silk ribbon in the button-hole of the coat, on the left breast. They were exceedingly well dressed, and walked four or five abreast. Generally they were aMs body of men, anti their demeanour and appearance both physically and intellectually drew attention to them as spectacle such as is seldom seen in a street precooks. After the procession they assembled at Belle Vue Glue dens, where Mr. Jennison, the now renowned caterer foe assemblies on a monster scale, had provided a dinner for them, which was to be followed by dancing and • grand pyrotechnic display in the evening. THE RECENT CONFLICT BETWEEN ENGLISH AND FOREIGN NAVVIV4. —Yesterday (Thursday) iefore Major Moore and • bench of magistrates, two Frenchmen and two Luxemburgiass, named Elie Jean Piguigoiout, Henri Freyons, Joseph Levee, and Martin, were charged with rioting and also with unlawfully and maliciously anaulting and wounding George Holton and Edward Bassenden, two English navvies, on Saturday night last, at Iffecklisin•com mon. Mr. A. C. Le Quesne, e ngineer, acted as interpreter, and the court was crowded ' , several navvies, both English and foreign, being present. Caleb Sherlock ? who keeps • beerahop on the common, deposed that the prooner Freyons was in his house on Saturday night and began " showing the English what kicking and boxing was." Rix or e igh t others came in, and they began bghting. The Eng ish put the foreigners outside and locked the door, upon which the latter got hats and broke the windows. Mr. Mshony, a surgeon, deposed that the two injured men at the East Grinstead Union, who were suffering from con cussion of the brain, were not yet out of danger, and had been insensible for some time. Samuel Walker went with the two injured men to the scene of the disturbance. Saw about a dozen foreigners knocking into the shanty. Martin, one of the prisoners, struck witness on the arm, and Pinyon aimed a blow with • large stick at him, which he ended. Joseph Seekins ' who lives in one of the huts at Blackham, saw Holton and llassenden struck, but did not see by whom. He recognised all the four prisoners as being present at the time the blows were struck. They all ran away. Upon this evidence all the prisoners, who denied the charge and had deel to say, were remanded till Monday next. Thee English navvies, named Brown, Stokes, and Snap son were on Tuesday committed for trial on • charge of riotous assembling, ht. Two others, similarly charged. were &mobs:ed. On. et the witnesses in this case wee Rosalie /WM; • Frenchwocuus, who deposed, " I reside in one of the huts at Inscicham-common. On Saturday eight about 30 of the English navvies broke into my room and searched Oder the bed, as if they were looking for some me. I had hid myself under the bed. Several of the men wi th bars of iron or wood drew me out, and one of the ben stem* my leg. I was on my knees, and prayed them to lame we elem. and they then left. The meb after/Fedi returned, broke everything up , and went away again.' The two wounded Englishmen were yesterday glingoday) net ex peded to live.
