se twice, and he then mid he would go. He got on to the roof, and when we reached Bhoreditoh be would on ly pay 2d. fleeing that he waa likely to be a trouble wake customer, I consented to take that, and said I would pay the other penny myself. Directly after we a started he ran after us, and asked why I had brooght 4 = there, as be wanted to go to Woolwich. Ilia language was dreadful, and so was his conduct, for he struck me re naitedly about the body, and tore my trousers almost h om iny legs, in doing which be really hurt me very seriously, and I feel great pain still. I was standing on the monkey board all the time, and he was evidently t r ying to pull me down. Oa reaching the Kinpland-road s tation-house I thought it a good opportunity, so called to a constable 'tending at the door, who came and took him from me. Ifr. =son—What is the amount of damage ? C o mibunant—Twentyishilliugs, sir. N 383 spoke to the violent conduct of the fellow, sad sloe to the damage done by him. The magistrate inflicted a fine of 204. and costs, which was Paid. THAMES. !MAN CHARACTER/I.—IMPORTANT CONVICTION. difreel Hunt, a grocer's assistant, about 25 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with unlawfully offering himself as a servant to . Mr. Duncan Wallett, grocer and tea dealer, in the Commercial-road, Stepney, with a false forged certificate of character, purportlng to be signed by Mr. William Williams, of Eastetreet, Walworth. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for Mr. Wallett, and said the offence charged against the prisoner was one of • very mischievous description. Grocers were more liable to be plundered than any other class of tradesmen, and it was of the utmost importance to them that young men of honesty and into should be employed by them. The prisoner mine to Mr. Wallett, who carries on an extensive business in two establishments as a tea dealer, and wine and spirit merchant, and o ff ered himself for the vacant situation of assistant which the prosecutor had advertised. The prisoner was approved, subject to reference as to 41/11 , •••11; • sad referred to a Mr. Barrett, of Salisbury M his last em ployer. Mr. Walled wogs to Mr. Barrett, and received a letter with the Salisbury post mark upon it giving the prisoner an excellent and glowing character. Mr. Wa ll ett 's suspicions were aroused in con sequence of the unbusinesslike terms of the letter, and he made inquiries through the great firm of Peek and Co. in the City, who informed him there was no grocer named Barrett in the city of Salisbury. The letter was • forgery. When the prisoner called upon Mr. Wallett again he said he should like a town reference, and he subeeqently brought • letter purporting to be signed by Mr. Williams, of East street, Walworth, speaking of him in the highest terms. That letter was also • forgery. Mr. Charles Young then called Mr. Williams and Mr. Wallett, who fully bore out the solicitor's statement. The prisoner made • romantic defence, and said he bad married the daughter of • baronet in one of the shires, and that she gave him 5001. to go through the form of marriage after he seduced her, although he had another wife living. Through this affair he obtained the forged characters. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a very pave offence, and fined him 201. ; and in default three months' imprisonment and hard labour. SHOCKING DEATH OF A CHILD FROM STARVATION. Mr. Win. Payne, the City coroner, resumed an inquiry last evening at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, re specting the death from starvation of Jane Giles, a child aged 8 months, who lost her life in consequence of the poverty of the family in whose charge she was left. Mary Ann Pitt, a miserably-dressed and half-starved looking woman, said that she lived at No. 3, White street, St. Luke's, and that she was the wife of a man who supported his family by killing sheep at one penny each. He made on an average four shillings a week. Towards the end of last month a strange young woman called at witness's house. She said that her name was Rebecca Giles, and she asked witness to take care of the deceased for 211. fxL a week. She paid the first half-crown and left. The next week she called and gave her fourpence halfpenny. After that time she never gave anything towards the support of the child, and she never called for three months. On Saturday week 'linen found the child dead on the bed. She took the body to the hospital. (The witness cried while giving her evidence.) Mr. R. Bond Moore, house surgeon, said that the body of the child was much emaciated. A post-mortem exa mination showed that the deceased was suffering from no disease. All the internal organs were healthy. The stomach was perfectly empty. The child had died from starvation. There was no other cause of death. Coroner—Can you form any idea how long the child had been without food Witness—The deceased had suffered for long time. Mr. Case said that he had gone to No. 3, White-street, and he found the Pitt family in e state of the greatest poverty. Mrs. Pitt recalled, deposed that she had not applied to the parish for assistance. because she had means to sup port the child. Her two little boys were partners in a blacking bon, and the family where never on want of a penny to buy food for the child. On the day the child died a farthing's-worth of milk was bought for it, and it was divided into two portions, and it got the milk in the morning and in the evening. The child ate a small biscuit, and it was given a little bit of meat and two small pieces of bread and butter. That was all the child got. She could not eat the bread. There was no need to go the Wish. . - Coroner—The doctor says the child was starved. Ellen Griffin said that the mother of the deceased was a book folder. She was • widow. Witness did not know where she could be found. Mr. Case said that he had caused inquiries to be made about the mother, but she could not be discovered. The police said that they could do nothing in the case. Mrs. Pitt Lad refused to give up the deceased to her mother, because she would not pay Ls. that was then owing for the child. The Coroner said that the child had been deserted by the mother, and she could be prosecuted for that offence. If the jury brought in a criminal verdict against her the charge could nut be less than murder. The woman Pitt appeared to be in • very afflicted state about the death of the child, and she evidently felt the lees of her very much. But the question was whether, if not having the means to give the child food she ought to be held accountable for its death in consequence of her having neglected to apply to the workhouse for assistance. The medical evi dence was clear as to the cause of death, and it was for the jury to say what verdict they would return. A juror said that food had not been wilfully kept from the child, it had not been wilfully starved to death, for it got what the others got. The jury after some deliberation returned • verdict " That the deceased chill died from want of sufficient food, and the jury are of opinion that Mrs. Pitt ought to be more cautious in the future, and that she ought to have applied to the union for assistance." Several of the German journals state that King George of Hanover will probably soon repair to England. MARRIAOE OF SIR EDWARD GOOCH, BART. —On Tuesday the marriage of Sir Edward Sherlock Gooch,Bart., of Benscre Hall, Suffolk, with Ellen Emily, daughter of Major R. A. Mulkey Hirst, of Tattingstone.place, Ipswich, was solemnised at Tattingstone Church. A large circle of relations and friends were present at the ceremony, which was the occasion of great rejoicing in the village and its neizhhourhood. The bridegroom, who was born in 1343, is the seventh baronet, and succeeded his father in 1536. NEWSPAPER PRESS Ft• NO.—At a numerous meeting of the executive, held at the offices, 24, Cecil street, Strand, yesterday—Mr. George Godwin, F.R.S., in the chair, supported byllslr. J. A. Fronde, M.A., Mr. Theodore Martin, Mr. David Keane, Q.C., and Mr. S. C. Hall—Mr. T. H. Taunton, graduate of Oriel College, Oxon, secretary to Lord Wharton's Charity, and late assistant-secretary to the Royal Provident and Benevolent Institution, was unanimously elected secretary to the fund. There were nearly 100 candidates for the office. THE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES AT ROCHDALE,— Yesterday afternoon, a party of the members of the Social Science Congress visited Rochdale, for the purpose of inspecting the co-operative establishments in the town. A special train left Manchester about 3 o'clock, containing Mr. D. Dudley Field, Dr. Parkhurst, Mr. Webster, Q.C., Mr. J. H. Raper, the Mayor of Salford, the Rev. W. N. Molesworth, and other gentlemen connected with the congress. They were met at the railway station by the committee of the various co-operative societies in Roch dale, and proceeded in conveyances which had been Provided to the different establishments, which have rendered Rochdale so famous in this movement. There me now three co-operative societies in this town —The Rochdale District Corn Mill Society (Limited), the Roch dale Equitable Pioneers Society (Limited), and the Roch dale Co-operative Manufacturing Society (Limited). The Equitable Pioneer. Society, besides the central stores at Toad-lane, has nine grocery stores, seven butcher stores, ' and establishments for drapery, tailoring, boots and shoes, and clogs. The whole capital consists of 200,00 W. The receipts for the past three months of the Equitable Pioneers Society have been 62,684/., and of the Corn Mill Society, 61,144/. A very interesting feature con nected with them is the educational department. There is a library connected with each store, the aggregate num ber of volumes being nearly 6,000. There are also reading rooms liberally supplied. At the reading-room in connec ted with the Toml-Isuse department it was stated that the society spent 174/. a quarter on the library alone. The cotton mill in connection with the manufacturing society was an object of great interest. The utmost mill, with the new machinery, was now completed, and upwards of 50,030 spindles are at work, and 600 looms. The committees of the different societies entertained the visitors at dinner in the public hall. The chair was taken by Mr. Stott, the Mayor of Rochdale, and about 200 guests were present. — Mr. Dudley Field spoke of the pleasures it had given him to visit that gent man, John Bright. (Loud cheers.) Although he had never seen him before that afternoon, yet he felt as if he had known him for 40 years. He was sure that if ever he went to America he would be carried on the shoulders of the people wherever he chose to go. THE EXPRESS, TituRSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1866.

Isaac Barr, Q.C.—The following is an ex tract of • letter received by • gentleman in Belfast, from his son in Dublin By the way, another dis- , tinguished and popular Irishman, and who is one of 1 the ablest members of the Irish bar, a 4.C., and 11 formerly Professor of Political Economy in Dublin P University, and late M.P., for • once famous, though now obscure, southern borough, and author of several works, pamphlets, Sus., has crossed the Rubicon and gone over to Rome. In plain English, the person I allude to is Mr. Isaac Butt, whom I saw at mass in Westland-row Chapel yesterday (Sunday) ; and the catholic priest who officiated on the omission announced the fact in his (Mr. Butt's) preeence, withholding, how ever, the name of the learned gentleman. He merely said that a " leading member of the Irish bar, and a Queen's Counsel, had been received into the bosom of the catholic church." Mr. Butt, I have reason to know, is at present engaged in writing a pamphlet, in which he will state his reasons for becoming a catholic. Some of the MS. is in the hands of the printers ; and, as it would be unfair to give any extracts from it just now, and as, moreover, it will create a great sensation, from the scholarly, masterly, and even convincing style in which it Is written, I prefer waiting until it appears, which will be in a few days. This is strange news—at least it will be to some, though those who know the learned gentleman, and enjoy his intimacy, have no hesitation in telling you that it is not strange at all—that years ago he had a notion that way, and that it is not at all a re markable event. —Northern Whig. YARMOUTH ExEcrioN Commtssiow.—ln con tinuation of the evidence reported yesterday, Mr. Watkin, M.P., said that the statement that he had required 5001. from Mr. Mellor for the " goodwill "of the borough, was in every sense untrue. The amount which witness paid from August,lBs6, to the spring of 1858, was about 1,3001.; this included payment for shares which he took in a local paper, subscriptions to local charities, registration, testi monials, Sce. A portion of the money wee paid on Mr. M'Cullagh's account, and witness thought it would have been squared, but some difference arose in the 'batter. The ground of Mr. M'Cullagh's refusal to reim burse witness was that he had spent a great deed of money between 1352 and 18.57 in getting the register into a state which led to their return ; and he thought what had been paid should be set off against a portion of what had been paid at the election. He (Mr. Watkin) thought Sir E. Lacon'a brewery a great evil in Yarmouth. If the com missioners looked at the register, they would observe that there was a larger number of persons who sold drink in Yet mouth than in almost any borough with 1,500 electors. Mess liked power, and this was purchesed in Yarmouth by the beer-selling influence. Ho thought that undue use was made of Sir E. Lecon's brewery influence. Sir H. J. Stracey, who WAS a candidate at the last election, was next examined. He made a point of not inquiring what the election of 1359 cost him, and he had not a single docu ment which related to his expenditure in Yarmouth. He believed that about one-fourth of the voters were venal, but his impression WAS that at least three-fourths of the boroughs of the United Kingdom were as venal as Yar mouth. Mr. Young, late M.P. for Helston, was also examined, and his evidence was mainly corroborative of that given by Mr. Watkin. The commissioners again adjourned. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—At an inquest held on the sth inst., at Bradwell, Bucks, before Mr. Worley, the district coroner, on the body of Elizabeth Walters, a child aged five years, and who died from hydrophobia, evidence was given of practice almost in credible in a civilised country in the 19th centu. A witness, Sarah Meekness, stated—" I live at Bradwell, and am wife of Thomas Meekness, a farm labourer. I saw the deceased child after it was bitten by the dog, which was about nine weeks back, and was re quested by the father of the child to give her some of the liver of the dog, and he was to get some from the dog, which had this been killed and buried. I accordingly went to the house—it was either the day after the child was bitten or the next day. The mother cut off a piece of the liver, weighing about an ounce, or an ounce and a half. I frizzled it before the fire on a fork for wine minutes, till it was well cooked and dried up, and then gave it to the child, with some bread. She ate it freely , about two mouthfuls, and hail sonic warm tea after it." The grand father and parents of the child were anxious for the liver to be given, thinking it would prevent the bite of the mad dog taking effect, as formerly an uncle of the child had escaped hydrophobia after having been bitten, and haring taken some of the liver of the dog which bit him. It that case, it is stated, the carcass of the dog had been in the water nine days before the liver was taken out. In a sleeping-car recently a man in one of the berths became greatly annoyed by a crying child, whom its father was trying in vain to quiet. The irite individual at last shouted out, " What the devil is the matter with that young one?" And soon again, " Where is the mother of that child, that she is not here to pacify it?" At this the ..r gentleman in charge of the chill stepped up to the rth and said, " Sir, the mother of that child is in her coffin in the baggage-car." The grumbler immediately arose and compelled the sfflicted father to retire to his berth, and from that time until morning he took the little orphan under his own care.—/Y tie York Tribune. The Hon. John O'Shannasey, formerly prime minister of Victoria, was entertained at a banquet on Mon day evening in the town of Tipperary. 3lr.O'Shannassy left Tipperary when a very young man, and, having risen to wealth and eminence in his adopted country, he has now re-visited his native land after an absence of nearly thirty years. Mr. O'Shannassy stated that lie re cognised a great change and marked improvement in Ire laud since the time when he quitted it to seek his fortune at the antipodes—an improvement indicated by the pro gress made in agriculture, the increase in the rate of wages, the opening of railways, and the decrease of crime. PRISONERS SITTING TOR THEIR PORTRAITS. — Some treat the attempt with open defiance, resolutely re fusing to sit still during the operation ; others, with a mock air of submission, sit perfectly quiet during the pre liminary arrangements and focussing operation, but move sufficiently at the vital moment of exposure ; others, who pretend to have no objection to be portrayed contrive to produce such an amount of facial contortion by squinting, twisting the month, Ice., as will effectually destroy iden tity in the portrait. In some cases this cunning is met with resolute perseverance, and in others with stratagem, so that in all oases a sufficiently characteristic likeness is obtained. One governor informs us that he generally con trives that the operation shall take place just before dinner, and refractory sitters are informed that no dinner will be dispensed until the portrait has been obtained, a practical argument, the force of which is generally recognised. In another gaol, after the sitter has, by movement or contoe' tion, baffled the portraitist, he, or still more commonly she, is handed to a seat in a well-lighted p 1 ice to rest awhile I and watch the operation repeated with the next criminal. The sitter just rejoicing in the cunning which has defeated the attempt of the photographer, generally sits perfectly still, watching with eager interest the operation for which another is sitting. In the meantime, a concealed camera, within range of which the first victim had been placed, is ; I doing its work, and a natant' and charactericliehlseneu is obtained of the unconscious criminal, who had apparently I retired, master of the situation.—British Quarterly Review, new number.

Oxs o'Olocra. The indisposition or inability of the public to effect purchases in the Stock Exchange is more apparent to-day than ever, the transactions being upon a trifling scale, and these consisting chiefly of sales. As a necessary consequence, the tendency of quotations generally is still downwards. The funds, notwithstanding the disfavour with which moat other securities are viewed, have experienced a fresh reduction of * per cent. English railway stoclui have scarcely varied, but remain flat, with the exception of London, Chatham, and Dover, which shows a further recovery. Foreign bonds are somewhat better in a few cases. The directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly court to-day, made no alteration in the rate of discount, which remains at 4} per cent. ; but it is expected that a reduction to 4 per cent. will soon be made, owing to the very moderate extent of the demand at the Bank and the prospect of a further diminution, with the release of the divi dends and lower rates in the general market. There is still little enquiry for discounts, and good three months' bills are negotiable at 4i to per cent. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short advances on English government securities is 3} to 4 per cent. The proposal for the resuscitation of the Indian portion of the business of the Agra and Meeks man's Bank (Ls-lilted) has just been lamed. It is stated that the result of a recent investigation shows that, after deducting all bad and doubtful debts, und making full allowance for contin gencies on outstanding transactions, there will remain not less than one-half, and pro bably two-thirds of the capital, after pay ment of all claims. It is proposed to provide a total paid-up capital of 1,000,000/., represented by 40,000 A shares of 101. each, all paid, and 60,000 B shares of 25L, with 10/. paid up. The resuscitated bank, on the requisite con sent of shareholders and creditors being obtained, will be prepared to take over the existing assets and liabilities, and gua rantee to the creditors payment of the balance (after deducting the first dividend of ss. in the pound already paid) of their claims—viz., 15s. in the pound by instalments. A meeting of the share holders is convened for the 18th inst. to consider the proposal. Console are quoted 89} to I for money, and 89i to 4 for the account (Nov. 8). Foreign stocks aro rather firmer, but the amount of business is small. Turkish of 1865 and Spanish Passive are in request, and have risen t# per cent. Mexican have also im proved j. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 55 ; ditto, 1865, 281 to ; Creek, 13} to 14} ; Spanish Passive, 21 to ; ditto Certificates, to 141 ; Italian of 1861, MI to ; and Mexican, 15! to 16. _ American securities are steady, at the closing prices of yesterday. The 5-20 ]'ands are quoted 711 to a Erie Railway shares, 475 to 481 ; and Illinois Central, 781 to 1. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are unchanged at 16 to 161, but Atlantic Telegraph are ss. lower, at 5 to 51. The light portion of the Calcutta, China, and Australian mails is expected to be distributed in London about Monday next. International Financial shares are quoted to 11 dis. ; London Financial, 1G to 15 dia. ; General Credit, 21 to 2$ dis. ; Credit Foncier, 41 to 4 dis. ; National Discount, 8i to 9i prem. and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 17. The Italian stock is prejudiced by the fear of a fresh loan. It is evident, however, that Italy is in a far better condition to appeal to the money market now that she has acquired a splendid province, which, under a liberal regime, ought to show very different results from those presented under a military despotism, the chief object of which was to squeeze money out of the country. The main apprehension caused, however, by this systematic loan raising consists in the sacrifice of the interests of existing stockholders, by which it is almost invariably at tended. About 11,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, while 5,0001. was withdrawn for Alexan dria. The operations of the week have been of less than usual importance, 87,000/. having been sent in, and 80,0001. taken out for export. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,9•291. over the corresponding week of 1865, and the Midland an increase of 1,2161. At the meeting of the British and Californian Banking Company (Limited) held yestirday, the resolutions passed on the 24th ult., for winding up the undertaking voluntarily, were confirmed. The chairman explained that, owing to the tenor of the news from California, the directors are certain that they will be able to meet every engagement, without applying to their bankers for even tem porary assistance. The half-yearly meeting of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company is called fur the 2nd November. In the case of the Birmingham Banking Com pany, an application was made yesterday to Mr. Hall, the Chief Clerk in the Court of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, for inspection and supervision on the part of the shareholders, and the case of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) was cited in support of the application. The Chief Clerk, however, was of opinion that the matter did not press, especially as thero was no allegation that the liquidators were dealing in a reckless manner with the assets. lie accordingly referred the matter to the court of the Master of the Rolls, before whom it is to come on the 29th inst. The half-yearly meeting of the Imperial Gas Company is called for the 11th inst., for ordinary purposes, and also for the following, viz. : First, for the purpose of authorising, under the powers of the Company's Act, intituled " The Imperial Gas Act, 1854," and the acts incorporated therein, e the raising and paying of the sum of 250,0001., part of th companys exist ing borrowed money, by creating new sham, at such times, upon such terms, and in such manner as shall be resolved upon ; and second, for the purpose of _audio rising the issue of the additional share capital of 324,000 f., which the company is authorised to ruse under the Com pany's Act, intituled " The Imperial Gas Act, 186 G," at such times, and upon such terms and conditions as shall be resolved upon. With reference to the market for American securities, Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. report as follows : There has been renewed activity in American securities in the London market during the past week. In United States 5-20's there has been a fair amount of business trans acted at steadily advancing prices, the approaching pay ment of interest bringing in numerous buyers on conti nental account ; the last q uotation, 71 'II to a. indicates a rise on the week of fully If per cent. Illinois Central shares have been well supported (closing 763 to I), but Erie, after touching 52, have declined on sales to realise profit's, a nd lower quotations by telegraph from New York to 473 to 48. Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated bonds have been more offered, and certificates of deben tures close 643 to 65.4, about • half per cent under the price of this day week. Creditors of the estate of Messrs. Hawkey, Whit ford, and Co. (Falmouth and St. Columl Bank) are informed that a dividend of ss. in the pound will be payable on the 15th inst. and following days. WEDNESDAY Evnama. Consols, which closed yesterday at 891 to for the Bth November, opened this morning at the same quotation, and so closed, after declining in the interval to 891 " sellers."

Th e shee p exhibited Were in healthy condition, and clearly demonstrated that sheep keep in the stubble% and turnip lands is plentiful. There was a lively demand for store sheep and stock ewes, and dealers exacted ndvanced prices for all descriptions of sheep. and flockmasters were induced to buy in large folds to con mime root crop' anil the large quantities of grown and damaged corn which is this year consigned for sheep food. THE CONTINENTAL ROCTE.—The new line of rail way in course of construction between Calais and Boulogne will be completed by the Ist of January next, so as to en able the mail service between England and France to be sent from London toParis,viA Dover, Calais, and Boulogne, instead of by way of Calais and St. Omer. By the new route there will be a saving of 35 minutes in the journey, which will be a great boon to traveller' as well as of ad vantage to the general public by the acceleration of the continental mail service. THE SLAVE'S Rzcvs s. —Another incident illustrates rather forcibly the native's sense of wrong. A certain Portuguese signor, near Shupanga, formed the not uncommon habit of spending a great deal of his time in drinking spirits, and when less than half conscious from the effects, making his slaves fan him as he lay on him bed. When sober, his principal amusement was ill-treating them. On one occasion hip so. called native wife happened to incur his resentment fee want of proper attention, and in fear of the consequences t o ok refuge with Domed her Mends. Having found out where she was, he followed and brought her away in spite of most earnest entreaties, and soon after had bee de liberately shot before his eyes by one of ber fellow-slaves. The governor of Quelimane was in the neighbourhood at the time, but witnesses were wanting to prove the killing of a negro, for, of course, no native's word is evidence! Not long afterwards he was crossing the river in a canoe, as usual half-intoxicated. His own slaves were paddling ; but the canoe was large, the weather perfectly calm, and there were no sunken trees for them to ran against.
