Little Pulteney-street seems to have been in a state of uproar yesterday evening, in consequence of the friends of the discharged Fenians celebrating the event. Such, Indeed, was the commotion, that it was necessary for the superintendent, two inspectors, and several constables to be in attendance. A man named Lee was this morning charged at the Marlborough-street court with stealing a pint pot contain ing se. worth of coppers, and a tailor named Murphy was charged with being disorderly and attempting to rescue him. sergeant Leech said that Ann Justice was standing at an open window at a first floor clapping her bands, and inciting the mob to make a disturbance and calling out " Fenian victory." Al the man Lee was being taken along the street ta the station on * charge of felony, the prisoner Murphy called out, " He is one of our own, do not let him be taken down," and then caught hold of Lee and said, " You shall not go down." Murphy then struck the s ergeant, and also assaulted another officer. The pri soner is known as being • constant ammoniate of the men who were acquitted, and was arrested at the time with them, but discharged. The prisoner Murphy was sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment foe each assault. There were two or three other cases arising out of the same disturbance before the court. TRE TRIAL OF BURKE, CASEY, AND SHAW.-{THIS DAY.) (Blurt Justice Keating and Baron Bramwell.) The trial of Burke, Casey, and Shaw, was resumed at IU o'clock this morning. Amelia Tye, being examined by Mr. Giffard, Q.C., de posed—l lived at Mr. Kynock'm house at Birmingham, and saw the prisoner Burke there. He first called there in December, 1865, and Mr. Kynock being absent from home !showed him some percussion caps which he wished to see. He approved of them, and said be would call on the following morning. He came next day and purchased a large quantity. In the afternoon he went out with Mr. Kynock, and in the evening he purchased '2.30.000 caps and 40 revolvers, which I put into a cue. Burke ordered them to be sent to Mr. Mullady, 64, George street. They were delivered by Mr. Kynock's man, who brought hack the book signed. I think the prisoner Show once brought a letter to Mr. Kynock, but I would not swear to his identity. I saw Burke at Mr. K)nock's several times. He was known by the name of Winslow. In cross-examination by Mr. Pater, the witness said she did not know what bad become of the letter which Mullady brought to Mr. Kynock. George Kynock wu then examined by the Solicitor. General. He said—l reside at Birmingham, and am a cap and ammunition manufacturer. I also sell firearms. I know Mr. Winslow (Burke) and Mullady, both of whom I have seen atdmy place of business. The first purchase Burke made from me was that of 2,000,000 percussion caps and 2.50,000 revolver caps. The amount of the pur chuae was XV., which he paid in cash. I made out an invoice, and gave it to him. I gave him a delivery order on the manager of the London and North Western Railway Company at Birmingham for the percussion caps, which were then lying at Curmn-street station. Burke afterwards bought revolvers, and I went with him to Mr. in St. Mary's-road, where we inspected some pistols. I purchased pistols from Mr. Hill and other makers, and sold them to Burke. I made out seven or eight invoices of goods altogether, end to the best of my recollection the amount was 1,9701. The payments were principally made in Bank of England nein.. I gave credit for the invoice of the rifles. The amount of it was 081. I saw him every day, and was on very friendly terms with him. I went to his house in George-street. There was a large plate on the door, on which the words, "E. C. Winslow, merchant and commission agent" were engraved. I believe I saw Casey there. He appeared to be only a workman. I have seen Mullady at my aloe. I have occasionally received letters from Burke, and have seen him write. (Letters written by Burke to the witness were then read. In one of them he expressed a wish to be furnished with a list of prices of rifles, &c.) Cross-examined by Mr. Jonee—Burke and I had fre quent conversations about his antecedents. I don't re member his saying that be bad taken up his residence for some time in Chili. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was examined at the police court on the 30th of December, and I then thought that Cuey was the man who had peened under the name of Malady. I also professed to have seen MuHedy several tomes. I always had a doubt as to Casey's identity. I have now no doubt about Casey. Cross-examined by Mr. Pater—Had I not seen Shaw I should have been under the impression that Casey was the man who waited for Burke's letter. When I saw Shaw at the police-court, I recognised him, and found I had been mistaken with respect to Caney. Wm. James Hill, a pistol maker, residing in St. Mary's road, Birmingham, corroborated that part of the evidence of the last witness rilating to the purc hase of pistols. In cross-examination by Mr. Jones ' be sad he under stood that the pistols were to be sent to Chill. Jules Whitehead deposed to having seen the prisoner Caney at Burke's offices in George-street-parade. BD. Day, a house-agent, residing In Birmingham, stated that Burke rented premises in George-street-parade, on the representation that he belonged to a mercantile flrm in New York. He paid the Brat quarter's rent in advance. The thinl quarter the . prisoner suddenly left without giving notice. On regaimug possession of the hones witness found • carboy, from which there was the smell of petroleum. He also found a door which bore bullet and ;12.11c m:rke7and appeared to have been used as target. In croucsamination by Mr. Jones, witness admitted fusing started to the magistrate that he did not know whether the carboy was in the premises when Burke took pouenion of them. Mr. Mansell, a member of the Birmingham detective force. produced a plate which he had taken off the door of lturkv's offices and which bore the following Edwd. e. Winslow, Commission Agent and General Merchant." He further stated that in the cellar of the house he found sertul jam containing a liquid, the nature of which he did not kuow. In reply to Mr. Ernest Jones, he said be believed the livid was used in polishing the stocks of rifles. The foreman of the "order shed" at Curzon-street station. Birmingham, proved the delivery at that station of ...cods consigned by Mr. Kynock, of Birmingham, to E (ward C. Winslow, at Park - lane station, Liverpool, to await order." The looker at Park-lane station, Liverpool, proved the delivery of twenty CMOs on Dec. 29,1865. The freight W.. node out from the order (produced)... The signature in the delivery book was " W. Laurence.' Mr. Kynock identified the order as being in Burke's handwriting. Willi.= Emery, the checker et Curzon-street station, Eirudngham, produced consignment notes which accom panied cues sent to the station. One of the sotto did not bear the addrus of the sender, and he asked it from the limn who brought the note. He identified Casey as being that man. Mr. Knock stated that the notes were in Barka's lcuidwriting, and bore the sig: "E. C. Winslow." TbY witness, in continuation, that the coca were forwarded to Park-tans Station, said In answer to M r . Lewis, be said that Casey was in his sighs for about twenty minutes or half an hour on the day on which he brought the note. Heated never seen him ''efore. He did not think he should be much surprised to hear that, on the 29th of December, 1865, Gorey was in unploT of the Ileum Piektord. There were such 'tr 'nice thin taking place now, that one might believe bay thing. ( laughter.) TH The booker at Park-lane statism was maned, aadi proved the delivery et nine was en the 30th of DM. °ember, 1865. Mr. Kyaock stated that the note of oonaignment was in Bnrke'a handwriting. • clerk at the Curzon-street station, Birmingham, de posed to having received the oonaignment note (produced) with 12 eases in January, 1866. The came were forward to Waterloo station. Liverpool. (This note was also proved to be in Burke's handwriting ) A clerk in the Waterloo station, Liverpool, proved the delivery of the eases, adding that the signature in the de livery-book was " it. Laurence." The consignment and delivery of other cases were proved by railway employes connected with the Birmingham and Liverpool railway stations. Henry Fisher, who was employed as railway clerk at Birmingham in the early part of 1866, produced four con signment orders, which were delivered to him by the prisoner Shaw, who stood by while the packages to which they related were being weighed. The court here adjourned for a short time. Upon lb re-theemblhig, Two females residing in Liverpool were examined, one el whom proved that the prisoner Burke lodged at her house under the name of Edward C. Winslow, and the other, that Burke visited two of her lodgers named Preston and Rice, in company with a Mr. Beecher. Scale, a member of the Liverpool police, deposed to finding in choose in Salisbury-street, Liverpool, where Burke lodged, three tubs containing water and a large number of bottles. The bottles were taken to the police aloe, and witness subsequently took one of them to a doctor. On opening the bottle, a few drops of the fluid it contained fell on witneaa's clothes, and set them on fire. William Hone, inspector of detective police at Liver pool, oorrobonted the evidence of the last willies'. lEdward Davis, analyst and chemist, deposed that he examined some bottles which had been given him by the last witness, and found that they contained solution of phosphorus. That substance when dissolved by bi sulphate of carbon produced what was known as " Greek Fire." Morrisay, a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary, stationed at Cork, deposed to having seized two deal cases which had been brought to that city by the steamer Halcyon. They were addressed to " J. Daly and CO., Grand Parade, Cork." Thos. Hamilton, resident magistrate at Cork, stated that he had examined the cases referred to by the last witness, and found that they contained Enfield rifles, bayonets, and bullet moulds. The rifle produced was one of those which be had taken from the caste. The rifle was here shown to Mr. Kynock, whs identified it as having been sold by him. John Daly, a member of the firm of Daly and Co., Grand Parade, Cork, being examined, stated that he had not ordered two oases of rifles. In reply to Baron Bramwell, the witness said be had never acted as agent for any Arson. [The trial was proceeding when our report left.] BRISTOL ELECTION. POLLING.—(THIS DAY.) (BT TILZOBJXII.)

This day the annual general meeting of the proprietors was held at the London Tavern, Mr. MANGUM ID the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that under ordinary circumstances it would be painful for the directors to meet the shareholders, because it would be a proof that their adventure was a failure. But he should have no difficulty in showing them that they met under extraordinary circumstances. They met after a aeries of disasters, arising from whirlwinds and earthquakes in St. Thomas's, which was almost unpa ralleled. But this was not aIL They had to contend with a depressed state of commerce at home, with a competitive line of steamers subventioned by the French government, and with a disorganised state of society in Mexico and Monte Video. He wail, therefore, sure that the shareholders would not hold the directors responsible for a state of things, me regarded the company, over which they had no control. (Hear, hear.) Furthermore, there was an increase of 20,0001. in the cost of coal as between 1866 and 1867; 2,0001. in the coat of wages, 5,0001. in the cost of provisions; about 2,0001. in the cost of stores. The port charges were heavier in 1867 than in 1866 ; the general charges and stations cost 5,0001., whilst the receipts from passen ger money had decreased by 31,0001 . They received a sum of 4,075 for being before their time, which showed that there had been no neglect or remissness in the working of the service. (Hear, hear.) The repair and renewal account was in a very satisfactory position. The balance to the credit of the insurance account, after debiting it with that portion of the late losses whicliwas fairly attributable to it, stood at 134,00 07 . They calculated the value el thelrvemale, making an allowance of 154,11231. for the lees et the Uwe and Wye, and for depreciation, at 498,0001.—that was at the rate of 141. per ton for ships and engines. This he be lieved would compare most favourably with any other com pany of a similar kind. (Hear.) Admiral WHIRR seconded the motion. Dr. Burris complained of the increase in the working e: r. asked for explanations respecting the losses on the Australian contract, from which it appeared that they amounted to 114,0001., for which provision had already been made to the extent of 70,000/. After some discussion, the report, which included • dividend of IL per share, free of ineome-tax, was adored. THE LAST SCENE AT THE OLD BAILEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE REPRESS• SIR,—In your most graphic description of the scene in the Central Criminal Court on Monday, which appeared in the Express of last evening, you say that the Lord Chief Justice ' laboured under • remarkable mis apprehension" as toone portion of Barrett's speech ,adding It included these words-` ine standing, and looking into the grave, I most solemnly declare that at the time those people swore I was at that place, I was in Scotland.' To which. the Lord Chief Justice rather unaccountably answered, lam glad there has been no attempt on your part t the an e eg ri f se ;It t u o r part of pr o defenes rested on undesirable teat of y our impression should be is pn y erb o rally received on this subject, and as the above wen manta appear to me to be founded on a inisoore e z tion, I lie, leave to call attrition to the of Barrett, which lead up to those above quoted. They are as follow' :—" I will now turn to the Mghly-reepecitable witnesses from Put rt. As to the ',lames of the woman Beroaley, I it is rather too inconsistent to bear part in depriving • human being of life. She swore she saw me for two months at that woman's house, and on several occasions, on one of which she sa id I was going to M rtic ea u t ar alk of pleasure with the woman of the house on • Sunday evening, and was carrying • oarpstrbag. It is, I think, • very inconsistent and improbable story that I should be carrying • carpet-leg at such • time. Here standing, and looks,' into the grave, I moat solemnly declare that st Me time those people swore I was at that place I was in Scotland ; and the statements of the others are equally false." As I read this Barrett mint solemnly declares that he was in Scotland at the time when the witness said he was in Pultesayetiort, and it may be per fectly true that he was really in Scotland during part of the two months when he was alleged to be at Pahang - court. Bat be does not assert that he was in Scotland at the time of the expiosios, and the Lord Chief Justice, I imagine, understood his words as I do, for be amid :—",There may be discrepancies in the evidence, as there always are in some of the statements in • ease of this kind, but the main points of the case have been abundantly established, and I sin glad that in the protestations you have made of your innocence, there has been no attempt on your part to repeat that pert of door defence whiA rested on the alleged fact of your being in Glasgow mks the explosion took plats in London."—l am, 100., LOO -ON.

TO T 8 EDITOR OF TIM ICKFIMML Sts, —Even now that the Two Thousand mystery las bees solved, the rem is as much a topic of discussion and argument as ever. Whether Rosierucian could have wen had he not been too anxiously waiting on Green Sleeve ; what Blue Gown would have done had he bean allowed to start, are points we shall not hear the last of this side the Darby ; but there can be no doubt the &st eamed was cm the " big " side, and he bas only to prove a stayer to take Sir Joseph Hawley 's part is the race at spnim, whilst should Blue Gown beat the Earl on Friday next, the King:Klee stable will again drive the public mad with doubt and excitement. Poor Green Sleeve will have to struggle hard to get into favour spin, for situ palled up dreadfully tired this afternoon, and showed a falling off in form, compered with Formosa, there is so getting over. 1 To discuss the rues here, however, ie not my intention, as it will be quite sufficient when the " Queen of the Bucca neers" ham run in the One Thousand, and the Biennial pair have fought their battle o'er again, to measure the calibre of the Two Thousand lot, which certainly looks bad when the moderate Bt. Ronan could get third place. The whole field, too, were so closely packed together after running three parts of the distance that the inference is it did not include a Oyer ; and King Alfred was looking well enough at the Bushes to put the Blue Riband backers of Lord Glasgow's magnificent Tom Bowline colt on excellent terms with themselves. The followers of Speculum nabs make up their minds they are on the " oertainty," after seeing his two stable companions. Harvester and Pace, disposed of and Moslem run a dead heat with Formosa ; and it looks really good boAnem to be on the two, whatever Lady Elisabeth and " Sir Joseph " may say on the day. Aa regards the One Thousand, it is observed that the issue is almost a " moral" for Formosa now ; yet she will not have • bloodless victory, the following oomprisiag the probable Odd: Formosa Lady Coventry Monk Virtue Athena Franchise Rider. Rider. ... Fordham. Pc ii 2es . ther French. ... Mdcrolt. Lady flishthorn ... The Splay= ... Snowden. Nyanza .... Cannon. Ida& . . Parry. Green WNW° Welk. - - - • - Lord Glasgow's starting anything is very doubtful ; and the above arrangement of the jockeys will be materially altered in the event of one or two, that appear to have no chance, pegging out. It matters little what may start beyond the first five in the list and Green Sleeve, seeing Moslem beat Franchise a long way in their " trial," and hence that Formosa holds her safe, as she does Green Sleeve on paper. Lady Coventry is considered much 4 uperior to Leonid), whose staying over the easy Ditch mile is not believed in, Athena being another lady with nothing beyond a fast reputation. Virtue appears at a discount after the exhibition of Chelsea, who beat her at home before the Two Thousand ; but the filly looks and goes so well, and the colt ran so badly, that it is impos sible to believe in the reports from Richmond, which are never very reliable. I look upon Virtue as the most dangerous opponent to Fonuose, at any rate, and shall recommend her, with Lady Coventry, to be supported for a " place " quite as confidently as the daughter of Buccaneer for a win. The two remaining events already completed in Thursday's list are soon disposed of, ea The Parson has only to run to his recent form with Court mantle to win the 100 sod. Sweepstakes, and Hermit's sister must be preferred to Coup d'Eslat in the match. The Newmarket Stakes, contested on Friday, will regain some of Its lost prestige if The Earl and Blue Gown meet again, as Is confidently expected. After Nainte's victory in the Coffee-room Stakes, the latter will be trusted with some confidence to turn the tables; nevertheless, The Earl was not many pounds inferior to Formosa in the letter's Two Thousand trial, and I am bound to anticipate a fine race, notwithstanding that Blue Gown takes my fancy most As regards the matches, let me declare for Hinton v.
