BRADFORD REFORM LEAGUE. - The candidature of Mr. Edward Miall formed a prominent feature in the p eof the annual meeting of the Bradford branch of t e Reform League, on Tuesday evening, in the Me ehsnirs' Institution in that town. The first business was the election of officers for the ensuing year:, after which the following manifesto was adopted That in the opinion of this branch of the Reform League, the time has arrived for the adoption of a more radical programme. It therefore resolves that, while adhering to its original de mand for manhood suffrage and the ballot, it seeks , to attain the following additions :-1. Unsectarian national education. 2. Justice to Ireland. 3. Justice to labour in its struggle with capital, by the protection of the funds of trade societies and by the revision of the acts relating to iracy and intimidation. 4. The abolition of property qualification for jurors." Also resolved, "That this branch of the Reform League strongly recommend, the early assembly of a people's convention to determine Von the action to be taken by the league in the i election of 1869, and especially to prepare bills referring to, necessary reforms, to which the assent of all candidates at that election shall be demanded." That • copy of this resolution be forwarded to the London executive of the Reform League, with a request that it may receive early and serious attention. At the does of the regular bum mers all invitation was sent to Mr. Edward Wall (who ar rived in Bradford on Tuesday from London) to address the meeting. Mr. Wall, on making his appearance, was warmly greeted. He gave a brief sketch of his political opinions, and answered several questions addressed to him I from the meeting. A resolution was afterward, pledging the members of the league to give their hearty support to Mr. Miall's candidature. A View or WASHINGTON. —lmagine enormous streets, broader than Regent-street, beginning with a few neat, fine houses ; then perhaps two duty little shops, such as you would see in the low parts of a second-rate English town; then a space consisting of a deep swamp, with • cow 'rug in it coated with mire ; then a tumble down wooden shanty, such as gispies would build in • wood, but you would certainly not see in an English vil lage ; then two or three more handsome houses ; and so on, getting wider and wider apart till the street seems to lose' itself, without any ending, in gravelly, weary eemorion-like , round. Meanwhile, the street itself you must imagine a I deep, deep abyss of mud—the mud of centuries it looks like, such as no description of Anthony Trollope's could the least exaggerate. The other aide perhaps of what I have described would be an CllOlll4OllB white building— some public office ; and then • rather nice-looking small public garden. That is what Washington is like, all over. Pennsylvania Avenue, the chief street, is the only thing the least like a street, ad that is very wild-looking. The nicest looking gentlemen's houses are opposite desolate swamps, right in the middle of the town, or rickety wooden huts ; and the enormous breadth of the streets is only matched by the enormous distances—so immense that meetakes a walk lasting the wholeafternoon to get anywhere where one wants to go ; and the arrangement, names, and potations of the streets are so complicated that I shall never know my way to my nearest neighbours. Even who has a remarkable head for that, is fairly puzzled here ; and asking one's way is utterly melees, as no one knows the names of the streets, or where they were, appa rently. The names are generally not written up, and several people from whom we have asked, " What street are we in now ?" have answered, " I don't know—l could not tell you to save my life." This strange city, capital of one of the greatest countries in the world, yet looking like • backwoods settlement more than anything else, is at present crowded ; but people don't seem to think it worth while to build, and consequently the enormous streets stand all unfinished, and people have scarcely any place where to lay their head. And oh the abyss of mire in the streets ! I cannot give you any idea of it. Stray pigs and cows and loose horses wander about them at their own meet will, making the quagmires deeper ; and the cart and horses—the few that one ever sees—appear to have abandoned the effort to keep out of it : they don't lift their legs out of the mud, but just wade through it. Happily, the walking is better than I expected, except at the crowing., fur there are. tolerably wide rod brick 'pavements on either side the street. Bat driving—oh heaven, ! Yesterday we went eat in &hired carriage and pair (4s. Bd. the first hour, 3s. the next—not so fearfully dear, you see), and I never shall forget it. We could not of course go out of • foot's Dace, and yet at every step we were flung violently against cacti other, while one wheel sank into unfathomable =is of mud, and the other was bunged up over high in the road.—Proare's Magazine for October. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAIIe.) INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT 1N THE PAPAL STATES. PARIS. Ocr. 2, Evszawo. The Moniteur du S ir, in its bulletin, says :—"No sign of any disturbance or dissatisfaction has been manifested in the Roman States at the approach of the revolutionary bands. The Pontifical troops showed themselves determined to do their duty. The calm displayed by the inhabitants contrasted in a striking manner with the agitation proceeding from without." FLORENCE, Ocr. 2, EVENING. Advice' from the Papal frontier assert that the news respecting the passage of Garibaldian bands had been much exaggerated. A few isolated un armed individuals had crossed, whose number, how ever, was inconsiderable. It was impossible to prevent their passage, despite the greatest vigilance on the part of the local authorities and the troops. The earns advice' also state that the movement had not assumed any large proportions, and was now almost at an end, since the persons who had crossed the frontier into the province of Viterbo, and who had gone thence towards Acquapendente, had re solved to return. They had presented themselves to the commander of the troops at Ban Casciano, with the view of being restored to their homes. PANIC ON THE PARIS BOI7RSE. PARIS, Ocr. 2, 3.30 P.M. The Bourse has been very much agitated to-day by disquieting rumours, and the fluctuations in prices have been numerous and important. Rentes, which closed last night at 68.40, opened at 67.86, and fell rapidly to 67. An improvement afterwards took place, and Rentes were finally quoted at the opening price, 67.85, or 65 cents. lower than yes terday. Italian have fallen more than 1 per cent. PARIS, Ocr. 2, Eviumta. The panic on to-day's Bourse was occasioned by rumours of the Emperor being ill, of an impending conflict between France and Italy, of an insurrec tionary outbreak at Rome, and of an altercation having taken place between Count Bismarck and General Fleury. The government has ordered the commissioner of police at the Bourse to deny these reports, and to endeavour to discover by whom they were set afloat. The Petrie of this evening gives a denial to a number of rumours, especially such as alleged an approaching change of ministry, the existence of another French circular on the meeting at Salz burg, the exchange of negotiations for modifying the September Convention, the conclusion of an offensive and defensive treaty of alliance between France and Italy, as well as of a similar alliance between Italy and Prussia. The Patrie adds, that the pamphlet recently pub lished here, under the signature of " A Diplomatist," by no means possesses the importance it seeks to assume. It is the work of a former functionary, a director of an agricultural insurance office. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Ocr. 2, Evans°. Count Bismarck leaves this evening for Pomerania, where he will stay several days. The New Pression(Crou) Gazette of this evening says that the next meeting of the Evangelical Alli ance will be held in New York. The news of a treaty having been concluded be tween a plenipotentiary of King George of Hanover and Privy Councillor Konig on the part of Prussia is confirmed. The treaty is expected to be ratified very shortly. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 2. The Journal de St. Petersburg of to-day pub lishes • second categorical denial of the accuracy of the Turkish memorial published by the New Free Press of Vienna, and says :—" Russia's political principles in regard to Turkey are based upon sympathy with the Christian population of the same origin and religion, and on a constant desire to maintain amicable relations with Turkey. Since 1856 Turkey has entered into the European concert ; and at the same time, while pursuing • policy of moderation, has recognised the right of her Christian inhabitants to manifest legitimate aspirations. Russia takes these two facts into account. The government of the Czar will con tinue to pursue the same policy as heretofore." HAMBURG. HAMBURG, Ocr. 2. The Assembly of Burghers have adopted, by a large majority, the motion of the Senate declaring the entry of Hamburg into the new North German Ctuttoma Union for the present inopportune, on the ground that that union requires modification. Most of the speakers were in favour of the main tenance of Hamburg as a free port. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. AMERICA. NEW YORK, NWT. 30, 6 r.m.

DESPATCH OP TUE WFST INDIA, PACIFIC, AND AnernaLwr MAlLS.—SouTnAmrrotc O CT. 2.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Shone, Captain Woolley, sailed hence this afternoon with mails for the British and Foreign West Indies, Mexico, the Pacific, California, Central Ame rica, Australia, New Zealand, &o. She took out 135 pas sengers and a large cargo, including gold coin 4001. ; jewel lery, 20231.; French jewellery, 8,3245 L, and 400 bottles of quicksilver, value 2,8001. THE RAILWAY FATALITY IN LIVERPOOL.-011 Tuesday various witnesses were examined before Mr. Duffield, one of the South Lancashire coroners, re lative to the death on Saturda night last of Mr. and Mrs. Green at the Broad Green station of the London and North Western Railway. Must of the witnesses were of opinion that the lighting of the station was insufficient, and the station-muter acknowledged that he had received orders to be economical as regarded the gu. The jury ultimately returned a verdict of " Acci dental death," but censured the railway company for the insufficient light at the station where the accident hap pened, and for the dangerous narrowness of the pavement or platform between the waiting room and the line of ralb. THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The Calabar, Captain H. Hamilton, from the West Coast of Africa, arrived at Liverpool yester day afternoon. She brings a large cargo, 2,594 ors. of gold dust and eleven passengers. She left Old Calabar August 28 ; Fernando Po, August 29 ; and Cameroons the same day ; New Calabar and Bonny, Sept. 1 ; Benin, Sept. 2 ; Lagos, 4 ; Jonah Coffee, 5 ; Accra, 6 ; Cape Coast Castle, 7 ; Cape Palmas, 9 ; Sierra Leone, 14 ; Bathurst, 17 ; Teneriffe, 23 ; and Madeira, 25. The news from the coast is not of much interest. The Royal Aroh, Cyrene, Aylestone, and Phreno logist were at Benin. The Britannia had arrived at Fernando Po from Glasgow. The Medea, Mary Black, Moselle, Elizabeth Emery, Daisy, and E. Cobitone were at the Cameroon. The Invincible left for Liverpool on the 28th of August. The Navigator, Ermanjo3, Huddersfield, and Hannah Selkeld were off the bar at Old Cala bar on the 28th of August, and the Athelstan would sail on the Ist Sept. The Blanche Watkins, Gertrude, Bentinck, and her Majesty's ships Ranger, Espoir, and Bristol were at Jellah Coffee. The George Washington, Amacrae, and Sunshine were at Old Calabar. The Charles Benlidi, Courier, Glanmyre, Earl Derby, Euphrates, Manners Sut ton, and Grand Bonny were at Bonny. The Anna, Emulous and her Majesty's ship Landrail were at laps. The Royal Mail steamship Athenian sailed for Bonny on the, 3rd Sept, The Ceres and Alcaig were at Accra. The Hind and Hope were at Cape Palmas. The Julia Ellen, Eliza - Hants, and her Majesty's ship Lee were at Sierra Leone. Royal Mail steamship 'Ape for leeward on Sept. 10. The Corporation and Success were at Bathurst. The Lady Douglas had put in leaky. The International was at Tene rife. The Royal Mail steamship Macgregor Laird, Iquia (as.), and Sarah Ann were at Madeira on Sept 16, and sailed same day for Africa. THE MED] (nom OUR owx IPONDINT.) MALTA, Szer. 28. The cholera has been prevalent in this island for several week■ back, but limited to four or lire mei per diem. Lately, however, the disease has suddenly increased, and sines the 24th, the official reports issued by the police show an average number of 15 attacks and 10 deaths. Yesterday's report was 19 cues and 13 deaths, but to-day's is more satisfactory, as it shows 11 and 10 respectively. It appears that the vigorous measures adopted by the government have been ineffectual in pre venting the spread of the disease, which has made its ap pearance in almost all the villages of this bland. Severe distress in the country is naturally the consequence. Com merce is much depressed, owing to the long quarantine imposed here an arrivals from infected ports ; and it would be well that the term should be reduced, if not entirely abolished, now that the cholera prevails in this country. The I'en",aular and Oriental Company have given notice that they will now receive passengen and goods both for Southampton and Marseilles ; but at the latter port pas sengers are subjected to a quarantine of nvica den, coin menc;eg from day of departure from Malta. The total number of deaths to the present time has been 84, and of attacks 162. There is no English man-of-war at present lying here, and, in consequence of the prevalence of cholera, Lord C. Paget could not send a vessel for the necessary provisions for the squadron under his command. The English mer chant steamer Laneetield, running between Malta end MEd", was therefore chartered by Admiral Kellett last week, and quitted this port yesterday evening for Spemis, where the squadron in lying, conveying a large quantity of provisions. It is expected that another merchant steamer will proceed to Spauie next week for the seine object. A MEMORIAL DRINKING FOUNTAIN. —There has just been completed an ornamental drinking fountain, opposite to Westminster Hall, and in close proximity to the spot where Canning's statue now stands at the corner of Great George-street and Hing-street. The fountain is in the form of the " Eleanor cross," and is executed in the Elizabethan style. The profuse mosaic enamelling v•hich ornaments the cone is by Salviati of Venice. The architect is Mr. Teolon. The fountain is the gift of Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P., grandson of the late Sir T. F. Buxton, Bert., who has erected this fountain, as is in scribed on it, " As a memorial to those members of par. liament who, with William Wilberforce, Esq., advocated the abolition of the British slave trade." DEAN STANLEY AND THE PAN-ANGLICAN SYNOD. —We have been requested to state that " an application having been made for the use of Westminater Abbey to hold a special service after the close of the Lambeth Con ference on Sept. 28, for the bishop' assembled in London, it was felt that such a use of the abbey was precluded by the partial, exceptional, and undefined character of the meeting. But, conside ring the importance of encouraging friendly intercourse, and of making the abbey availabla for the edification of large sections of the church, even when not representing the whole, and of those outside its own immediate pale (especially the American prelates) who are willing to co-operate in all things lawful and good, it was proposed that the service should be held in the abbey, without any relation to the conferral* itself, either for some wefic purpose of charity or usefulness, or for the 'papers' promotion of brotherly good will and mutual edihostion amongst all members of the Anglican communion. This proposal was deeliaed on the ground that the conference probably might not be closed before the day named."—Gourdiais. _ SEWAGE AND AGEICULTURE.—La the ante-room of the Liverpool Town Council yesterday there was ex hibited • monster specimen of the marigold wurtzel, grown on the Lodge-farm cultivated by the London Sewage Utilization Company, in the neighbourhood of Barking, and which is manured with sewage from the outfall reser voir at Barking. The Lodge-farm was taken about 18 months since when in a miserably exhausted condition the sewage was applied to the field in which the mangold grew, and the result is a crop, of which this is by no I means the largest, and estimated by experienced judges to amount now on the ground to 70 tons per statute acre. On another part of the farm Italian rye grass has been sown, which has already been ant seven times ; two cuttings more are expected to be obtained, and at each cutting the average product has been seven tons of fodder per statute acre, say 90 tons of green fodder, of excellent quality, per annum per statute acre. SHIPPING DISASTERIL—THE EQUINOCTIAL GALES. -Several disasters to shipping were yesterday reported in the Liverpool Underwriter'-rooms. The Star of Peace, hound from St. Jago de Cuba to Swansea, was lost near Long Key on the 20th of August. Part of the cargo and materials will be saved. A screw Moamar, supposed to be the Alhambra, bound from Liverpool to New Orleans, wee seen with shaft broken and screw gone, on the 17th Sep tember, by the ship G. A. Barnard, from New York to 'Havanna. A previous message states that the Alhambra had reached Neiman with loss of propeller. The Rear sage, from New Orleans to Boston, which went down at ' Newport, Rhode Island, on fire, has been raised and found to be serf much damaged. SINGULAR OPERATION.—An operation of a very delicate and unusual character was on Monday night sue cemfully performed at the Leeds Infirmary. A day or two ago a mill-hand at Clifford, near Thorparch, named Philip M'Bride, aged thirty-six, in drinking broth accidentally partially swallowed a fiat piece of bone about the size of • penny, Gad all attempts to dislodge it from his throat failing, he was removed to the infirmary. There the bone could be seen in the throat, about eight inches from the mouth, by the aid of the laryngoscope, and three efforts were made to extract it with the long forceps, but unsuccessfully. The surgeons connected with the institu tion had several consultations as to the beet course to be adopted, and as there was not the slightest doubt that death would result if the bone were not speedily ex tracted, it was determiaed to perform the operation of laryngotomy. The operator was Mr. T. P. Teals, jun., who made an incision in the throat, just below the larynx, and the bone was drawn out with • pair of small forceps. The incision was then closed. The suf ferer is now doing well, and sanguine hopes are entertained of his complete recovery. The Sheffield Sawmakere Society—a different body altogether from the Sawgrinders' Society, to which Broadhead, Crooks., and Hallam belong—have determined to relieve themselves, so far as possible, from the taint of the pest To that end they Dave dismissed all their old °Moors, appointed others in their stead, removed their place of meeting from a publialtonee to a alas-room of the Mechanics' Institute, and appointed a committee to weed the society of " suspicious" characters and draw up a set of rides to be submitted to Mr. Tidd P ratt for regietration.

The Dense, ono of the new clans of screw gun ' vessels designed by Mr. Reed, steamed out of harbour yest i z ar ed i , for the purpose of trying her speed at the in mile in Stoke's Bay at light draught of water. She had, however, not completed the six runs when one of the connections of the steam pipes gave way, and the further trial was abandoned for the day. The results so far showed an improvement upon the speed she realised , during the preliminary run last week, having made over 13 knots, which is, however somewhat below the speed anticipated by her construc tor. But the revolutions per minute made by her engines show more than the average , amount of " slip," which will probably be obviated by a I deeper immersion of the propeller, and a greater rate of speed may then be obtained . The v ibratory motion of the ship was excessive. The Nebo*, 72, Lieutenant Commander Payne, made a trial of her machinery on Monday in the face of a strong wind, and made between six and seven knots, which would probably have been ten or eleven had the trial been made under the usual conditions. The ship is very deep in the water, having on board several very heavy guns and surplus stores for transport to Australia. She will be turned over to the colonial government on her arrival. Her delay is chiefly occasioned, it is said, by the difficulty of getting men to ship merely for the outward ' voy . T,Lith the prospect of discharge to the shore on am at the colony. The h screw corvette Deemer, 10 guns, arrived at rbidyesterday from Copenhagen, es route to Cadiz. commanding allege was introduced to the novel and military authorities of the port and garrison yesterday, and to-day visits have been made by other officers of the ship to the dockyard. The Golden Fleece, hired screw transport, arrived yes terday fromithe river, to embark stores for service in the Abyssinian expedition. We understand that the Channel squadron is under orders to proceel on • cruise as far as Lisbon before rot to the English porta. The Parsguay, me t steamer, arrived at Spithead to-day from the Mediterranean, with military invalids and time expired men. The Avon, screw gunboat, was launched to-day from the dockyard. CHATHAM, 00T. 2. An order has beau received at the garrison divesting a detachment of 21 non-commissioned officers and men of the let battalion of the 10th Regiment to be held in readiness to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, to join the service companies of the regiment. The let bat talion of the 10th Regiment will shortly proceed from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan. ADMIRALTY OCT. 2. —APPOINTMENTS.—COM maiIer G.

THE BRITISH BURIAL GROUNDS IN THE CRIMEA. TO THI EDITOR 07 THI EIPMB. Sts,—As a letter in the Times of yesterday sug gests that the British burial grounds in the Crimea should be placed under the superintendence of her Majesty's consul-general at Odessa, I trust it will not be considered intrusive if I say a few words upon a question of such tender and permanent in terest to many a British home. When I was appointed her Majesty's consul general for the Russian ports in the Black Sea, and in the Sea of A zoff, in 1858, I made it one of my first duties to visit the Crimean graves, and I took counsel with those most qualified to advise as to the manner in which they might be best pro tected from sacrilege. I am bound here to offer to the Russian authori ties, and especially to Count Strogonoff (then governor-general), the highest tribute that language can pay for the anxious concern which be showed to alleviate our national sorrow ' and for the prompt measures which he took to do away with all cause for apprehension. I was assured, and I firmly believe, that no Russian would disturb ground so hallowed as the last resting place of a soldier. A true and unaffected respect for the dead is indeed one of the most marked features of Russian character. Nevertheless, as a very mourn ful feeling existed in England, I submitted to her Majesty's government that I should be authorised to offer a yearly donation to the Monks of " Saint George," if they would undertake to preserve the' sanctity of the British graves in their vicinity. Being duly empowered, I then applied to that reverend brotherhood, who readily promised their aid, but refused any remuneration. I therefore further recommended that the British cemeteries should be placed under the inspection of a Russian officer, trusting that any possible remains of war like feeling among the peasantry might be thus best conciliated. Her aM government ap proving this suggestion, I selected Captain Mant, an artillery officer of English descent, who had high testimonials. He, giving up all other em ployment, established iimaelf at Sevastopol, and the local authorities were instructed to afford him every assistance he might require for the efficient discharge of his solemn duty. About a year afterwards some objection having been made that Captain Mant did not speak Eng lish with sufficient fluency, his appointment was cancelled. A considerable sum was collected from private love and patriotism to place the graves per manently in good order, and they were also put under the immediate superintendence of her Majesty's consul at Kertch. It should be remembered, however, firstly, that the cemeteries are of such large extent that it is impossible to keep them in perfect repair without great and constant expense. Secondly, that there are rights of private pro party which make it difficult to preserve a part of the land from being brought under cultivation. Until these obstacles are surmounted, until the graves are defended by walls high enough to keep out wandering cattle and solid enough to resist the trying effects of climate, it is to be feared that com plaints may always be made. But if the sacred ashes of those we loved and honoured must necessarily remain far away from our reverent care, let us always recollect that they repose among Ch ristian men as chivalrous as they are brave, and among women very gentle and pious. No one could perpetrate any sacrilegious act towards them without meeting condign punish ment, and arousing one common feeling of indigna tion throughout the Russian empire. And so, if we cannot remember the heroes we have lost without some pangs of natural sorrow, which even years do not render less keen, we may feel well assured of the respect which their brave enemies will pay to their remains, and be partly consoled by the ennobling memories of so much valour and renown.—l am, &c., E. C. G. MURRAY, H.M.'a Consul-Oempral at Odessa. Conservative Club, London, Oct. 2. ARREST OT FOUR SI7SPECTED FREYA/SR ric poor.—On Tuesday night, about nine "block, the Liver. pool police arrested. In Dale.street four suspicious charm. tees, who were supposed to have been concerned in the outrage in Manchester, when Kelly and Deur were reamed. The arrest crested considerable excitement, but by a clever ruse the prisoners were safely conveyed to the Lime-street station, and sent on to Manchester before the crowd in the street were aware that they bad left the polio: oodles. THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. The examination of the six men last apprehended on the charge of being concerned in the Fenian outrage at Manchester was proceeded with yesterday. Evidence was given connecting the prisoners with the attack upon the police, but the most noticeable feature was a repetition of those " scenes " which have nearly from the commence ment of the inquiry disfigured the proceedings, owing to the course pursued by the attorneys for the defence. For example : Ellen Cooper, one of the women who were prisoners in the van, was recalled. She now added—l identify John son as at the van door when I got out, but I did not see him do anything. He had nothing in his hand when I got out. Cross-examined by Mr. Roberto—Did not take notice as to what drew he had on. . . _ ---- -- -- _. Thu wiener's former evidence was going to be read over. Mr. Roberta—l uk that it may all be taken down again. Mr. Fowler—Well, you must ask her. Mr. Roberts—Then I will do so. I look upon this uan attemp to injure those primmers unlawfully and unjustly, and I will resist it. . _ Mr. Fowler—Your observations are unjust to =pelf. I have done everything I possibly could from the commence ment of this case to this moment to meet the views of every body connected with it. The interestaof the prisoners have not suffered. If you have, through some mistake of yours seat away a witness, the case shall be remanded till to! morrow morning for their production. But if you persist in throwing impedimenta in the way of the case, I cannot let— Mr. Roberts—l do nothing of the sort. I believe it to be a moat unjust attempt on your part. (Loud blase' in court.) Mr. Roberts—Ah, the awelkoobamen again. Mr. Fowler—That is an improper obeetvation. Mr. Roberts—l ask that they be put out of court. I ask that those who Maud at me be put out of mud. Mr. Fowler—lf anybody hisses, he shall be removed, if be can be ascertained. Any expreenion of feeling in a court of justice is most improper. Mr. Roberts—lt was understood lot night that the de fence of the new batch and of the old should be one, and gone into together. Mr. Fowler—Yee. Mr. Roberts—Exactly so. The &Seam of the new batch cannot be entered into to-day, for their witnesses are not here, nor are they all known. Mr. Fowler—l have already maid that we will break through that arrangement in order to meet your views. Mr. Roberts—l made no request. Mr, Fowler—You made it this morning. Mr. Robert'—My request was that the whole ease be taken down, and I most do it for this reason. Some of the witnesses called to-day speak to some of the other pri soners in the other case. Mr.rizoitse me, not one. They have not ipoke to tbo name of a single prisoner wbo is not now pre. lir. Roberfd—The last policeman spoke to serail. Mr. Oottingham—ii rivet me— Mr. Fowler (to Mr. Cottingliefoi-11 a member of the profession to which we both belong, I ask you 11,6 me that assistance in doing my duty to the prisoners. Mr. Oottinghani—l think I ought to do so when I see a necessity, but at present I see nothing which requires any assistance from me as yet. Mr. Roberts—l want time and assistanee in getting my case into something like shape. I consider the position of advocate for these men, taking all the circumstances into the awe, is one of greakresponsibility. There is nomorning I have not been up at six o'clock. I was at Albert-street station at an early hour every day, and knowing you could not enter upon the other case today, have told the larger part of my witnesses not to come to-day. I shall be told, no doubt, what I say is wrong, impertinent, and so on ; but I am pleading for life under very peculiar circumstances and dangers, and I ask (raising his voice)—l demand of you, es an act of justice, that you give me not only every oppor tunity, but even an exams of opportunity, for the purpose of toying what I can for the defence of these poor men. Do re coll ect this, that of the 50 men taken 30 have already bee:i r =ed in consequence of the insufficiency of evidence by those who had taken them into custody. owever, that is my case. If you persist, I must do the beet I can, end I have high authority for it. I must do the best I can to save time, during which I may sand for the witneeste and have them and as well as my poor ability will permit, say what I hive to say. I will resist oppression wherever I meet with it , and this is oppression (eisphatically). Mr. Oottingham—l have just one remark to make. You have 'eked me to give you that assistance which you are entitled to expect from • member of your own profession. You shall always or any gentleman of your position shall always have from me any proper assistanos that may be required, but I really cannot see anything at all that is unreasonable in the application which my friend Mr. Roberts has made to you, - bailed as it seemed to me on the strongest foundation, and on the best reasons that an advocate can have, namely, she vital interests of those whom he was engaged to represent. Yon must know yourself, if you recollect, when you were at the bar, the enormous importance, when wi , nessee were called for the defence, of knowing well beforehand what they may say, what is their character, and the advisability or otherwise of calling witnesses ; because calling witnesses at a preliminary inquiry to a peat extent, at least, commit& the defence to a course of action at the future trial before the jury ; because this, although called • preliminary inquiry, is one great stage of one entire proceeding. The witaseses that ere called before you to-day, they give their depositions, and should they die, or be unable to travel, their evidence, whether for or against the case, may be read at the assizes. This, therefore cannot be rega r ded as an isolated or inde pendent proceeding, but it forms part of the great course of proceedings against the prisoners. I have told you that on my part, with regard to the prisoners! I represent, the proceedings I intend to porous. I do not even know the witnesses I have to call, much less what they will have to say. If I have time to see them, and read the proof of evidence, I shall probably be able to abridge the Oat. considerably. If lam forced to go on now I not only enter into a case I am not able to carry out, but I do not know what evidence the witnesses are going to give. You said you will call upon counsel to address the bench before calling witnesses. I don't wish to make any remarks upon the magistrates, or upon the manner in which they have conducted this inquiry. I leave that to the publics. I have given expression to opinion on one or two points, and leave the public to do the rest. I ask you to give us a remand, for the purpose of better conducting and con sidering the defence. Mr. Roberts rose. Mr. Fouler—You have bad your say. Mr. Roberts—Won't you let me speak? Mr. Fowler—No, I won ' t say so. Mr. Roberta — L et us shrink from the charge of murder. Anything that men Allen mks that be is entitled to, and you refuse, you contribute to hie death. I ask, air, that I may have my detente of the whole. How dreadful it is to have to address such a spirit as is arraigned against these men. It paralyses the tongue. I ask that I may have an opportunity of considering, and add reasons myself. Ah, a smile indeed. There will come a time hereafter too. I ask that I may, not for myself alone, but for those I represent. I ask for time to consider my defence of the whole of these men together. When we first read—we have all had the opportunity of reading from the newspapers— we have had great facilities for which we are thankful. Then, when I first read in the newspapers, I was under the impression it was a new case. It was only very lately that the case against them assumed the same shape as the cue of the men tried. It places me—with regard to myself I care nothing—but it places those I represent in a portion of great difficulty. Mr. Roberts concluded by asking the bench not to do ids clients the injustice of calling upon them for their detainee at a die. udvaututte. The bench said the defence would not be heard until to morrow. The court afterwards adjourned for half an hour. After the adjournment,. Edwin Walter was called. His deposition having been read against the prisoners previously examined, be was asked if he knew any of the prisoners now before the court. He said he could speak to Murphy as present throwing stones and keeping the police end civilians at bay. By Me. Ambler—The prisoner was 48 yards from witness, and throwing stones at the police. Mr. Higgin—That is the came. Mr. Fowler, with the assent of Mr. Higgin, thought the evidence insufficient against Nugent, Lynch, and bloom, and ordered their discharge. Featherstone, Murphy, and Johnson were remanded till to-morrow. The witneioes for the prosecution having entered into recognisance' to appear at the arises the court adjourned at half.pa•t three o'clock, and iwitnesam for the defence will be celled to-morrow. TER lI7PPOPIED TINIAN 01:7111AOR ric BLOOMS- NutY.—Although during the whole of Tuesday night and yesterday tip to ►bout four o'clock M'Donnell was pro greasing favourably, symptoms of a depressing character developed themselves yesterday afternoon, and the official report at 11 o'clock last night was that he was not quite so well.

The revision of the livery lista terminated with yesterday's sitting, the result being that 128 names were expunged on liberal objections, and 13 of the same failed or were withdrawn. linca;;;;;te7l that there are 55 liberal claims k the householders' lista ; 294 liberal householders and 142 liberal livery objections. The number of names omitted from the list is 1,921, of which 1,412 are householders and 199 liverymen ; and that there are 1,591 new names placed upon the register, of which 1,234 are householders and 357 liverymen. At the adjournment of the court it was stated that the parishes comprising the following wards would be taken for revision this day (Thursday) :—Aidersgate, Aidgate, Billingsgate, Baasisbaw, Coleman-street, Bishopsgate Broad-street , Queenhithe, Vintry, Bridge, Candlewick, and Waibrook. BIRMINGHAM AND THI BOUNDARY COMMISSION. The commissioners appointed to inquire into the boundaries of this borough met yesterday at the Public Offtoe. They were accompanied by the mayor, and there was a large attendance of the active penmen' of both political parties, that arising mainly oat of the circum stance of its being desirable, so far as the liberals are con cerned, that the boundaries shalt remain as they are, because in Aston Manor, which may be said to be part of Birmingham, but without the parliamentary bermgh, the grwt maiority of than who are qualined le vete hi that locality help the liberal interest in North Warwickshire ; whilst for the same reason the conservatives would gladly see that bit of territory thrown into the borough. The mayor took his seat by the side of the commissioners, and Mr. Wharton addressed a few sentences' to the assembly, in the warm of which information was frailly invited. The Town-clerk, having been called npoe by the mayor, laid before the commiasioners statistical information relative to the mileage, acreage, rateable value, end pope- Wien of the parliamentary borough as it now stands. He mentioned also that at a meeting of the town council, held on the previous day, the following resolution was unanimously passed:—` That the general purposes com mitteebe instructed to oppose thee:Masi= of the borough boundary," The Town-clerk added that the parliamentary borough was already of enormous size, the population being 340,000. and that to increase it would render it unmanageable at elections. That was not only his own opinion, but it was shared in by an immense majority in the town and by those who resided outside the boundary. A plan was suggested to extend the boundary so se to take in Aston Manor (within which is Aston Hall) and containing 5,300 houses, and between twenty and thousand Inhabi tants ; also the hamlet of Batley, a nd Washwood Heath contiguous ; together with a part lof Handswerth, in fitaffordahire, and Beleall Heath in Worcesteveldre„ both of which run up to the pretest borough, the howl longing either to manufacturers who reside away from town, or to workmen who have gone out of the borough to avoid the heavy rating within it. Public meetings have keel held in all these suburbs, and reeolutioas passed in strong oypoaition to the . extension of the present boundary. w refertaef ti ? th ud) ono of the counnisaioners remarked that no doubt the wished) of the communities would be wandered, but the parliamentary commissioners also had in view the ha • to identity of interest as between towns and suburbs. Hwy of those present addressed the oornmiseaCeers, who invited and received information not always concisely rendered with much courtesy. Finally, Mr. Aldermen Hawks, placed the whole facts broadly and succinctly before the court. He said that the effect of an extension of the present parlia mentary boundary would be to greatly increase the diffi culty of conducting elections peacefully, because there would be brought together aa unmanageable mass of peo ple. Before adiourning the commlisioners said that they would receive say statistical information within a week. Tag Nzw 800/mamma or LIVERPOOL.—The question of the future boundaries of the borough of liver pool will come on for discussion before Colonel Gordon, of the Royal Engineers, and Mr. Patrick Cumin, barrister, at St. George's-hall on the 11th inst. So far the town council alone have stirred in the matter, and yesterday at the annual meeting of that body the arliamentary committee recommended that Bootle and the whole of Toxteth-park should be included north and south, with a considerable veep in easterly direction. They also recommended that three of the parks—Nowshans, Sefsoa, and Stanley— should also be within the limits of the salarged borough. These recommendations were discussed at some length, and were not considered satisfactory, the boundaries proposed being considered as too restricted. It was ultimately re solved that the parliamentary committee should prepare • fresh report on the subject, to be considered at • special meeting of the council next Wednesday. Tai CENTRAL PLUM, NEW YORK. —The favour ite resort on Saturday is the Central Park, a mag nificent place of outdoor recreation of which every citizen of New York is justly proud, and which is regarded as one of the chief glories of the United States. Only to these European visitors who have recently visited New York is this grand centre of attraction in the slightest degree known. Its consignation did not commence till 1858, and hard work had to be done, for in its original condition it was nothing but a repulsive-looking marsh, interspersed with huge messes of trap rock. It will now remind the European sue of the Bois (lc Boulogne than of anything else, but derives • peculiar and extremely pictu resque character from those rocky masses that presented so serious an obstacle to the workmen. These, starting upon the gaze at every point, and, when the sun shines full upon them, sparkling as if thickly studded with diamonds, give an a ir of wild grandeur to the whole scene, in the midst of the most elaborate cultivation. The park, which answers the purpose of • grand promenade and • zoological garden, sod which, moreover, contains • lake, used for boating in summer and elating in winter, is open daily; but the time for • general gathering is Saturday. Then an instrumental concert is given by a band, which performs classical and other pieces beneath a superb pavilion, and boards are posted up officially allow ing persons to walk on the geese —a luxury prohibited during the rest of the week. The conduct of the fre quenters of the parks is in the highest degree orderly and decorous, and the appearance of every one of them is thoroughly respectable, the eye never being greeted by the sight of any unseemly object corresponding to the loafers who lounge and sleep about the great westeen park of London. As I have observed elaewhere, the American equality is on au opulent middle - clam beds. Poor Albert Smith used to declare in his " Mont Blanc" that nothing could be more uninteresting than the information commonly lavished by tourists respecting the number of inhabitants of this or that particular town, and I fear his remark will extend to statistics in general: Nevertheless, when • notion of magnitude is to be con veyed figures must be employed, and I therefore take the liberty of stating that the Central Park is 2i miles long, and half • mile wide ; that it covers an area of 843 acres, and that it comprises 15 miles of carriage road, 8 miles of bridle road, and 52 miles of footpath. Within its preeints there is • pond, be sides the lake, and there are two reservoirs the mailer of which holds 150,000,000 gallons of wa ter, while the capacity of the larger one is about double that quantity. When we reflect on the fact that the construction of the park was carried on during the whole of the war, which it very shortly preceded, we are compelled to regard it as an astounding nioniunent of the indomitable energy of the great American people.—Correspondent of the riTla. ACCIDENT TO EDWIN BOOTH THE TRAGEDIAN. — On Thursday evening of last week, the 12th inat , the tragic drama of TAe Apostate was acted at the Holliday street Theatre, Baltimore, Mr. Booth personating Pescara. Toward the close of the play, as most theatre-goers will remember, Heaney& rushes upon Pescara, armed with a , and despatches him—to the great relief of every body. On this occasion the representative of Hemaya, being over-zealous and very awkward, inflicted two severe cute on Mr. Booth's right hand. The wounds were serious and painful; nevertheless, Mr. Booth played the next night, as Benedict, wearing his arm in a sling. On the night following, Saturday, he again played, assuming the arduous and exciting character of Richard 111., and fighting the final combat with his left hand. His greet exertions, however, so irritated and inflamed hie wound that his physician wisely insisted that he should stop playing, to take immediate rest. Under these circum stances—and after making every possible effort to do jus tice both to manager and public—Mr. Booth's engagement at the Holliday Theatre was brought to a close.—lica York Trtfoone, Sept. 20. 111ANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—The total expenses of this company's railways I and cartels, including rents, tolls, duty, &a., from July 1 to Sept. 22, 11367,amounted to 121865/. as against 117,0;41/. for the corresponding period of 1 1166.
