'twat. COVENT CARDEN CONCERTS. These Concerts have fully maintained their in terest during the five weeks that have elapsed since their commencement. In addition to the usual miscellaneous performances several special nights have been given, with the first portion of the concert devoted to the works of one of the great masters. The first part of last night's pro gramme conaiste,l of a selection from the compositions of Spohr, cormeencing with his fourth and most elaborate symphony, " Die Weihe der Tone " (known here as " The Power of Sound ''). In this work Spar has unquestion ably endeavoured at some such result as that achieved by Beethoven in his Pastoral Symphony—a purpose scarcely to he realised by any but a composer of the very highest order of imaginative genius. If, however, the " Power of Sound " does not entirely fulfil its vast design in the illustration of the subtle and metaphysical suggestions 101 Carl Pfeiffer's poem en which it was founded. it is, apart from such consideration, one of the most splendid pieces of orchestral writing in the whole sage of symphonic art. The exquisite grace and mei*. dious beauty of some portions (ex the opening allegro, the cradle-sung, dance movement, lee.), the noble animation of the splendid march, the learned treatment of the chorale in the thanksgiving movement, the affecting pathos of the dirge. and the calm and hopeful religious expression of the final "Trost in 'rlininse," with the splendour and richness of the instrumental treatment throughout, loader this symphony a masterpiece of orchestral art It was admirably played by the fine orchestra assembled at these concerts, including the best players of the opera Lands ; conducted, too,with great skill by Signor liottesini, 'Whose efficiency was thoroughly proved in the several c aanges and mixtures of imp) which render this symphony so difficult in performance. But one vocal piece was in cl oled in the selection from Spohr, the song " Love and C mrage," which was given by Madame Jetty Treffs, with the obbligati acconmanhnents of horn and harp by Mr. C. Harper and Mr. Trust. Following this, Mr. H. W. Hill played the Adagio from the ninth Violin Concerto (in D miaor) -one of some twenty or more such works for which Sp olir will perhaps be as lung and as highly rat .erred as for any of his other compositions - his writings for the instrument on which he was so great a performer standing quite alone in these combination of high intrinsic musical merit with their special purpose as vehicles for the display of executive akill. The coact rto might have been given entire, with its marstic first movement and its final exquisitely playful rondo, both of which would doubtless have received simple just;oe from Mr. Hill, whose refined Performance of the slow movement, pure tone, expressive style, and neat staccato, pleased so well as to secure an encore. The selection terminated with the overture to Spe'ar's best known end most popular opera, Jessowhi, perhaps the most brilliant and splendid of his several dramatic preludes —the bright and melodious allegro, with its rich har monic treatment and grand climax, contrasting admirably with the gloomy impressiveness of its dirge-like introduc tion. The overture, like the) symphony, brought out the power and efficiency of the orchestra with admirable effect, and closed a selection which was listened to throughout with the peatext interest and attention by the large au. diem* that filled the theatre. The second partof theloon. tent oonau.ted of the usual miscellaneous programme, one of the chief features of which is the brilliant and spirited dance music of Herr Strauss, conducted by himself. oPENING OF TUB BARROIV-IN-FURNESS DOCKS. The marvellous and rapid growth of Barrow during the last seven years has no parallel in England, and reminds one more of the strides taken by some city of the Wc,tern States than of the progress of a commercial community of our own. The progress of Barrow is mainly attribut..hle to the development of the hematite iron ore trade, au Ito the active part taken by the Furness Rail way uoii pany in providing facilities for its promotion. The docl..- yesterday formally inaugurated amidst gene ral rejoicing• on the part of tLe inhabitants of Barrow and the neighoourhood—have been constructed at the expense of the railway company. Mr. Ramsden, of Abbots' Wood, who until lately was the secretary of the company, who is now one of the most active of the directors, and who has just been elected the first Mayor of Barrow, was the lead ing originator of the dock scheme, and was most heartily supported by the Duke of Devonshire (the present chair. man of the board) who, with the Duke of Buccleach, has always manifested the warmest desire to promote the material prosperity and social happiness of the inhabitants of Barrow. The muscle of harrow's strength, however, is the employment afforded by the ironworks of the district, the principal establishment of this kind having been founded originally by Meagre. Schneider, Hammy, and Co., and recently placed under the ownership and control of the Hematite Steel Company (Limited). In order to estima•e the almost magical rapidity with which Barrow has grown into a place of commercial importance, we may mention that ten years ago it was little more than a village, with a population scarcely exceeding 1,000 persons, and those chiefly en gaged in fishing or seafaring pursuits, while there are now shoat 17.000 inhabitants, and the whole aspect of the place is that of keen activity and vigorous life. The town itself has been somewhat overbuilt ; but there is little doubt that with returning prosperity to the general trade of the country, and with increased facilities for trade of various descriptions afforded by the port itself, population will soon overtake the existing accommodation. Communication is now established between Barrow and Belfast by a daily service of first-class steamer., and these being connected with through trains to all parts of England are found highly advantageous both for nice. chandb , e and cattle, but particularly the latter. Steamers are al-c plying regularly between Barrow and the Isle of Man. In order to enhance the interest of the ceremony of the dock inauguration the directors of the Furness Hallway issued inritatietur to a very large circle of visitors, induct' ing all the members of parliament for the counties of Lan cashire. Yorks!.ire, Cumberland, and Westmoreland ; the mayors of all the corporate towns in those counties ; the directors, managers, and secretaries of all the railways in the kingdom ; the members of the Mersey Dock Board ; the presidents of the various chambers of commerce (in cluding in the cabs of Liverpool the secretary, Mr. W. Blood, and the members of the conneill ; and the leading commercial men of the district. There has perhaps seldom taken place a local or commercial festivity in which the representative element was so conspicuous and influential. The Hight Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., waa one of the invited guests, and amongst all classes of residents and poli ticians in the district his visit was regarded with great interest And pleasure. Barrow has just been incorporated. and Mr. Barmier), the mayor, has most cordially co-operated with his brother directors, and the inha bitants generally to give as much eclat as possible to the proceeding.. By an ingenious and provident arrange ment of the Fortress directors, and through the courteous and prompt &remit of the various railway companies, the invitation cards sent to each guest franked him from any part of the country to and from Darrow, as well as to the proceedi=gs of the inauguration aml to the banquet which followed. In accordance with the wish of the mayor yesterday was observed as a general holiday in Barrow. The streets, which were gay with flag., Ice., were thronged with people, the show of the North Lonadale Agricultural :society, which commenced on Wednesday, having. together with the dock celebration f e te, attracted large nun:hers of people from the neighbouring towns and villages. In the evening the guests assembled in the carriage shed attached to the railway station, where a grand banquet was given by the directors of the Furness Railway, the Duke of Devonshire presiding, and his Grace of Bac. eleuch filling the vice chair. Mr. GLADSTONE, at the banquet, proposed the toast of " The Town and Trade of BUTOW," and remarked chiefly upon the enormous development of the iron trade in the district. The Lord Provost of Glasgow proposed " Both Houses of Parliament ;" and the Duke of Buceleuch and Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., responded. Mr. Gladstone afterwards proposed " The Chairman. Health." The pro ceedings weri. most successful. The ball given by the mayor wound up the daya testi % ities. At nightfan the principal streets were illuminated by transparenci.• and various designs in gas jets, and • gigantic bouare blazed from " Old Barrow," a slightly elevated ground claw to the town.

BETTING IN LONDON.—Tauasm. A large number of members meembled at the clubs to- day, but as the result proved, rather front the fact of their being no fitting sport to attend, than from any special desire to speculate. The few movements that the day's proceedings produced were of a negative character—as for tn.trace at much as 23 to 1 being laid against Thalia and 40 to 1 offered about King of the Fairies for the Cesare witch. The positions of the horses in the front rank re mained much as before, 9to 1 being taken kindly about Honesty, 10 to 1 Blinkhoolie, and anything over 100 to 6 Lothario. Fur the Cambridgeshire, Gardensure and Long bow colt maintained their places of first favouritism, 20 to 1 was asked for about the first named, while Mr. Hods- Illatetl unnamed representative would have found a sup porter at 1,000 to 44. Julius and Scarborough were each backed for a little, and beyond this nothing was done. In the Great Eastern Handicap, 20 to I was offered on the field without a response. The speculation that took place on the Derby sas represented by the taking of 20 fifties Blue Gown, and 40 ponies St. Ronan ; 40 to 1 would have been accepted about The Earl, but no one offered to lay.

Mr. Warner, the proprietor of the Welsh Harp (Hen- don), having secured a long lease of a farm belonging to Mr. Gootichild and adjoining that of the late Mr. Elmore, judiciously determined to abandon the old track in the vicinage of his hostelry and take advantage of the new course at Kingsbury, over which, it will be remembered, the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechases were held in December last. Since then this indefatigable caterer for the public amusement has at considerable expense had the course much improved and levelled, and that it met with the entire approbation of owners and trainers was apparent from the numerous entries and extensive fields of - horses which went to the post for the various races. There is no denying that the course is • very great im provement on the one at Hendon, which was at any time liable to be covered with water, indeed to-day the site of the former grand stand was quite under water, as was also that of the running ground which skirts the labelet. Be sides, the new course has far more attractions, situated as it is within view of Harrow-on-the-Hill, forming part of the training ground of the celebrated steeplechaser Lottery, rendered famous by the exploits of that prince of cross-country riders Jem Mason. It is intended that henceforth both the summer and autumn meetings shell be !leg at Kingsbury, and when the new Midland Railway, which will run within • mile of the course, is completed, and the improvements contemplated by the lessee finished, the meeting will doubtless be one of the mast popular and best attended gatherings in the metro politan circuit. The attendance today was exceedingly large, there being not less than 3,500 persons present, and the road to Hendon presented—and on no insignificant scale either—the appearance of the road to Epsom on the Day. The racing was good, the fields being large Derbyn the contests close and exciting, but the issues were mostly against the backers, who have experienced • series of reverser lately. Neither of the first winners was backed for a shilling. In the lest race there was an objection against the winner—The Guide—for not carrying the pro per weight, which will be decided to-morrow.

EXCURSION OP THE EPPING FOREST PRE SERVATION SOCIETY TO LOUGHTON. In accordance with a bill which had been ex tensively circulated in the Fast of London, en excursion of the members and friends of the Epping Forest Preserva tion Society to Loughton and back, by road and rail, took place on Monday last. An impression had somehow got abroad that the object of the excursion was to throw down the *hap which have been erected by Mr. Mait land around upwards of thirteen hundred acres of land, which constitute the manor of Loughton ; and large num bers of persons were eager to attend for that purpose. But the idea of violence being steadily diaoountenanced by the society, none attended but these who were willing simply to view the enclosures, and consider what were the bat means to be taken for their removal. l lt may be stated in explanation, that two suits in Chancery are pending in relation to these enclosures ; one, " Willioaele v. Maitland," being in vindication of the right to lop wood, which has been exercised by the inhabi tant.' of the Manor of Loughton from time immemorial. Some of the Willingale family were summoned on the fith March, 1866, before the bench of magistrates at Waltham, for having exercised the right ; and, being ignorant of legal proceedings, were convicted, and sentenced to a week's imprisonment and hard labour, which they suffered accordingly. The llama thing has since been attempted to be done to some other men ; but the EpOng Forest Pre servation Society having, at a considerable expense, aided them to plead their right, they were acquitted. The other suit, " Casten v. Maitland," is in vindication of the free holders right of common. The excursionists having roamed about to their hearts' content through the gates of the enclosed lands (which during the continuance of these chancery suits cannot be closed), began to meet in the afternoon on the slope of the hill by the side of the new schools. Mr. MAYNARC, of Theydon Bois, was appointed chair man ; and delivered en address replete with information upon the subject of forest and common rights, during which the elder Willingale (plaintiff in the suit of Willingale v. Maitland) arrived upon the ground, and was greeted with loud cheers. Mr. A. DU/FIELD, of Mile-end, moved the fi rst nteolu tier', which was as follows :—" That this meeting views with indignation the wholesale inclosure of the ancient waste forest lands, which have always been open to the free use and enjoyment of the people at large; which in closures we look upon as being illegal, as they are unjusti fiable. And we hereby pledge ourselves to give our most strenuous support to the Epping Forest Preservation Society, in their efforts to support by every legal means the ancient rights of the people to the use of those lands ; and to secure those rights to the use and enjoyment of the people for ever." In proposing the resolution the speaker impressed upon the meeting the necessity, whilst they re solutely maintained their rights, of having recourse to none but strictly legal means ; and assured them that if the proper means were taken, and earnest support given to the society for the preservation of Epping Forest, the ultimate establishment of three rights was a matter of . . . _ Mr. J. Reeser, of Longhton, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. MATHIAM, of Mile-end, and carried unanimously, amidst loud cheering. The second resolution was as follows :—" That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby given to those gentlemen who have so nobly and generously oome forward to defend by their personal influence and pecu niary aid, the forest and common rights of the people." In proposing this resolution, Mr. Durrizu) said that Sir T. F. Buxton, Bart., M.P., and other gentlemen had been most liberal in their subscriptions and guarantees of money to carry out the objects of this society. But the influence of the people generally must be given to this cause to carry it to a successful issue. If these gentlemen laid down their hundreds in support of the people's rights, the people themselves must come forward with their pence, and their shillings, and their pounds, according to their means, to prove the interest they take in the movement, and to provide the sinews of war, to enable the battle to be fought out to a successful conc l usion. _ _ _ Theresolution was seconded by Mr. W. DAVIS of Mile end, who warned the people that they must not rely upon great names to carry this question for them, but must take up the matter for themselves if they wished to suc ceed. The resolution, like the first, was carried unani mously, amidst cheers which made the old woods ring Ma?. _ -. The proceedings throughout were of the most enthu siastic description ; and after having spent a most delight ful day the excursionists returned, highly pleased with their jaunt to " save the forest." A number of new members were enrolled in the neighbourhood, and steps were taken for the formation of a local committee at Lougliton. Some apprehension appears to have been enter tained by the authorities lest tbo excursionists should be maltreated by the inhabitants, as a large body of police, both horse and foot, were sent down for their protection. It is pleasing, therefore, to be able to state that the cockneys were received by the natives with the greatest possible kindess. The day was, therefore, spent by the aa by everybody else, in the happiest possible THE POLICE COURT& lit ANSION-HOUSE. The Secretary of the Nicholson's Wharf Providence Society, which has been established for 22 years, appeared in answer to a summons taken out by a man named Wheeler. _ .. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Wontner for the defendant. . n;it SVid:vl that Wheeler had been in the ser vice of the firm for several years, and having fallen sick was entitled to 10,. a week. On applying to the secretary he told him that he must first see the firm, and having done so he then told the plaintiff that he Gould not pay Mr. Oke said the court had no jurisdiction. The matter should be referred to arbitration, and then, if the arbi trators did not agree, it could be brought here. William George Alkot, aged 14, residing at 11, Rydon street, New North-road, was charged with forging and uttering a cheque for 10/., with intent to defraud. Mr. Mullins, of the Bankers' Protection Society, appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was unde fended. _ _ The cheque was presented by the prisoner at the Na tional Bank, Old - Broad-street, on Saturday, and pur ported to be signed by Rees, Cree, and Co., carrying on business at 47, Aldermanbury. Samuel Poole Bees said the cheque was not in his hand writing, nor in that of his partner, but it was an imitation of witness's handwriting. Prisoner bad been in his service for eighteen months, and the cheque had been filled up by him. The cheque was one taken from a book he bad in use on Saturday, and which he usually kept locked in • drawer. Detective Webb said he took the prisoner into custody. He at first denied having filled up the cheque, but on being told that he would be locked up admitted that he had signed it, and cashed it at the bank. Witness asked him how he got the cheque. Prisoner said he opened the drawer with a skewer he had brought from home. He then took out the cheque and locked the drawer again with the skewer. On being questioned as to what he had done with the money be said that he had been out for a holiday on Sunday with another boy named Leyland, and that he had bought a watch for 12s. 6d. which he got exchanged for another on paying 2s. additional. Witness went to the boy Leyland, who gave up 2!. 18s., stating that he had received 3/. from the prisoner. On being apprehended, 30s. was found in the pockets of the pri soner himself. Alderman Allen committed him for trial. Webb stated that the father and mother of the boy had done everything to reform him but without effect. He had been in the habit of staying out till 11 or 12 o'clock at night, awl his mother had frequently gone and fetched him home, but he would not listen to her instructions. A young man who stated that he was a draper's assistant out of employment, was sentenced to pay a tine of 20s. or suffer 14 days' imprisonment for defacing the walls of one of the watercloisete at the Cannon-street station of the South Eastern Railway, by cutting his name into the enameL GUILDHALL William James, a shirt cutter, residing at No. 33, Pear Tree-street, Goawell-road, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Salomons, 31. P., charged with stealing a woollen shirt, from the shop of Mr. L. P. Mayer, merchant, of 50, Wood-street. . _ John Donegan, clerk to Mr. Mayer, said the prisoner hail occasional work from his employer as a shirt cutter, and when employed could earn 3s. per day. On Wednesday he called for work at a time when he knew Mr. Mayer would not be there, and said he would wait for him. While wit ness's back was turned he secreted a shirt in his hat, and was leaving the premises when witness asked him to let him look at his hat, as be wanted to buy a new one. He refused, saying it was only an old one, and rushed out of the warehouse, but was followed and brought back, when the shirt was found in his hat. — he prisolierPfeidediuilty, and said that he was driven by poverty to do it. He had a wife and live children with nothing to eat. Alderman Salomon asked if inquiries had been made about the prisoner. Dreary, 114, said be had been to the prisoner's address, and he had there a moat wretched home. He had a wife and family of five children, and they were miserably off indeed. The wife (who was in court) was called forward, and in answer to the magistrate said that her husband only earned 2.. 6d. a day when he could get work, and last week they earned between them only sa. Gd. Alderman Salomon. remarked that fie. Gd. would not keep a man, his wife, and five children for a week. Did she not apply to the parish for relief ? The wife replied that they had not lived long enough where they were to get relief, and when they had no food they went without. Alderman Salomon* said it was a most painful case, and be should take time to consider how to deal with it. Donegan said Mr. Mayer wished it to be dealt with mer cifully. The prisoner was remanded. BOWSTREET. An elderly man, named Charier Botcher, was brought before Mr. Flowers, in custody of William Wooden, • mendicity officer, for begging in the Strand ; and • young men named Brown, a carpenter, foe interrupting the officer in the execution of his duty. Woodup stated thathe was on duty in the Strand on Wednesdey,at about half-peat two o'clock, when he saw the prisoner Butcher begging of several persona. He beard one gentleman say, " I won't give you anything—go away." He also went into • cook-shop, and appeared to be asking for something. Knowing the prisoner, who had only just served a month's imprisonment, he took him into custody. As he was conveying him to the station-house Brown in terfered, and wanted witness to let the prisoner go. Wit ness told him to mind his own business. He persisted in his interference, and in a few minutes a crowd assembled, who began to hellos. and shout at him, and some mud and stones were thrown which struck his hat. Brown slid not strike him, but as lie was the awe of the disturbance witness took him in custody too. At the station-house Brown said he was sorry for what he had done. Witness had made some inquines, and found that Brown was • very respectable young man. Butcher addressed the magistrate in • prolix and vociferous harangue, abusing Woodup as • " villain," de nying that he had begged at all, and disputing the slightest details of the evidence. He denied that he went in and out of the eookshop as Woodup had described, but said he was there more than half an hour, and ate a 4d. steak pudding and Bowe plum pudding. He bad been formerly a wealthy man, and had laid out 200 f. a month in Mark-lane, and bad contributed largo amounts yearly to the charities of his native town Arlington, where his brother was now churchwarden. He therefore felt that even if he had been in distress, and had asked a gentleman to assist him, it would have been excusable. Mr. Flowers said he did not believe a word of all this (which if true could easily be proved), except that the prisoner had made a very good dinner, as, no doubt, beggars were generally able to do. For the rest, it might be as well for Brown and many others to know that a profes sional beggar was never good for anything. It was hers mentioned that the prisoner was well known to one of the constables of the F division who was ac quainted with his family. They had sev eral times set him up in business—oncest a cost of 3001., but it was quite useless, as be spent his money,and was soon as badly off as ever. Brown said he would not have interfered if he had known that Woodup was an officer, but as be was in pri vate clothes witness thought he was an °Winery civilian taking upon himself to convey the prisoner to the station for begging of him. He was now sorry for what he had done. Mr. Flowers said he would be more sorry if he knew as much of the prisoner as be (Mr. Flowers) did. His expe rience of the prisoner, who had been several times before him, was peculiarly unfavourable. He should commit him for one month. The conviction would be returned, and if he were brought up again he would be imprisoned for a long time. Believing Brown to be a respectable man, but mistaken, he should remand him. MARYLEBONE John Lennie..., Patrick Burke, and John Atoll ing, three powerful-looking fellows, were brought up for final ex. amination, charged with the following most brutal assault. Inspector Sims, D division, conducted the 'prosecution by order of the commissioners. This was a case of a most brutal and aggravated nature. The prisoners were apprehended separately. John Langford, 36 D, who seemed very weak and scarce able to stand, said—About midday on Sunday, the lit of thin month, the prisoners were in front of a shop in Cap land-street. There were several other of their rough com panions there as well. Lawless and Burke were leaning against the shop door, whilst several of the others were lying in front on the pavement. The lady belonging to the shop complained to me of their throwing stones and mud into her shop. I asked them to move, when they made use of most disgusting language. Lawless said that was his house, and he would nut go. I took him into custody, when he struck me a severe blow on the side of my head. Burke also struck me, and his companion set upon me. Finding I was overpowered I had to release my hold. I was then thrown down and kicked in my hack by Mailing several times. Another in custody also kicked me. Burke kicked two of my teeth out. M lips were cut, and my month swollen very much. I have been laid up for several days and not able to eat. They all kicked me about my body in a brutal manner. I managed to get up and draw my staff. One said, " Take that from him and split his head open." They hurt me much in getting my staff from me. They all beat and kicked me about the head. I managed to retain my staff, and struck Lawless on the head, and he fell. Whilst down he tried to kick me in a dangerous part. He looked round to the others and maid, "Chaps, don't let him take me." When the sergeant came up I was in a fainting condition. Sergeant Hopkins, 14 D, said—l saw Lawless strike the constable, and he said he would make him drink his heart's blood. Wm. Grantham, 90 D, rid when be arrived Lawless was covered in blood. Dr. Kirby, divisional surgeon, proved the serious nature of the injuries, and added that he was unfit for duty. Mr. Mansfield committed them for trial. The inhabitants of the district have ;lased the awn of 201., which has been presented to the officer, and the coin =Winner. have Flaunted him to a second-claw constable. SOUTHWARK. William Edward Williams, a reepeetable-loaking man, dressed in a soldier's coat of the 19th Regiment of Foot, was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with attempting to commit suicide by cutting the vein of his left arm. It appeared from the evidence of Henry Mottos, 63 L, that on Monday morning last he was on duty in the Corn wall-road when he was sent for to (;:i, Wootton-street, and there he saw the prisoner in a back-room leaning over an utensil with his arm bleeding. Witness asked what was the matter, when the table knife (produced) was handed to him as the instrument with which the prisoner had in flicted the cuts. The prisoner was in a very weak state, and called out, "Give me the knife and cut my throat." Witness called in a doctor, and afterwards con veyed him to the hospital. Mr. lturcham asked whether the prisoner said anything? Witness replied that he said he was tired of his life, and intended to have destroyed himself. He remon strated with him, when he s►id that he bad been a soldier of the 19th Regiment, and discharged with a pension of 7d. a day. Mr. Burcham asked whether he had any friends in court? The constable replied in the negative. He, however, appeared in great diatress. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he could not get employment, and that preyed upon his mind very much. He was however, extremely sorry, and promised not to make such an attempt again. Mr. Burcham remanded him until Monday, so that some inquiries might be made respecting him. THAMES. John M'Bride, who was formerly • soldier in the Royal Artillery, and has been for some time an invalid pauper in the Mile-end-road Town Workhouse, was brought up on remand before Mr. Benson, charged with violently assault ing and wounding Anthony Vacher, another pauper, whose head and face were enveloped in surgical b.ndages. Mr. Braithwaite, solicitor, who is conducting the prac tice of Mr. Charles Young in the absence of that gentle man from London, appeared for the prosecution, at the in stance of the board of guardians of Mile-end, and said the wounded man was seriously injured, and bad been under medical treatment since the 11th inst. The prisoner was influenced by a very revengeful and malignant spirit in committing the assault, which was one of • very dangerous nature. It appesred that the prisoner, who is a cripple, walks with difficulty. Vacher is a very respectable, well-behaved man. He has been in affluent circumstances, is the master of several eon. tinental languages, and since he has been an inmate of the house be has been appointed Yardman. The prisoner is a very filthy fellow, and received* very bad character from Mr. Macdonald, the master of the workhouse. He had frequently threatened to do for him. On the 11th of the present month the prosecutor came downstairs for his dinner, and was returning, when the prisoner made a fierce and sudden attack upon him with his crutch, and beat him on the bead. Vacher's hat was cut, and full of blood, which flowed copiously from a severe wound. The complainant wu stupitied by the blows, and his shirt and clothes were saturated with blood. When he recovered he threw pieces of brick at the prisoner, but could not hit him. The pri soner then struck the complainant again on the cheek-bone and left arm with the same crutch, and completely disabled him. Vac er a statement was confirmed by a witness. The prisoner, in defence, said that Vacher threw water upon him, which was admitted, and in extenuation, it was stated that the prisoner had been guilty of a filthy act. The prisoner then preferred numberless charges of petty tyranny and oppression on the part of Vacher, which were declared to be utterly groundless. Mr. Macdonald, the master of Mile-end Old-town work house, said the prisoner was dirty and obstinate, and the most troublesome man in the house. Mr. Macdonald then mentioned a filthy act of the prisoner while the inmates of the infirmary were having their dinner. The prisoner did it to annoy the other invalids. Mr. Benson said that the prisoner had met with a mis fortune, and was invalided from the army in consequence of paralysis. The papers relating to the prisoner's conduct in the army were very favourable to him indeed, in fact, the prisoner possessed a high character in the army. It was much to be regretted that the prisoner had forfeited that high character in the workhouse. The assault was one of a most cruel and very unjustifiable description, and there was no doubt the prisoner was an irritable man. He sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. Vscher asked if the prisoner was to return to the same ward when he came out of prison. Mr. Benson—The guardians will regulate that. I have nothing to do with it. Captain Matthew Irrin. the master of the ship Bala. mane, surrendered on hail before Mr. Benson, to answer • charge of wilful murder. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, again appeared for the prisoner. On the first examination on Tuesday an apprentice named James Taylor, gays credence from which it appeared that the prisoner had ill used Heck on many occasions, and also threatened him, and that on the ith of July, after the ship had rounded the Cape, the prisoner bad been reading • journal kept by the deceased, and struck him several times with • telescope, and said put that down and add it to the account. Three or four minutes afterwards there was a cry of Joe overboard. The deceased was in the water and was drowned. - The lad Taylor was now put under a long and severe cross-examination, and other evidence was taken tending to chow that no complaint was ever made by the deceased, that there was no malice between him and the captain, and that on the day in question when en alarm was raised of a man overboard, the latter was very anxious and did all he could to save deceased. Mr. Pelham said • statement had been made, which if not explained would seriously prejudice the prisoner. It was stated that an entry of the occurrence had been re cently made on paper a ff ixed to the log hook. The fact was the log hook was full and the captain had no other resource hut to paste sheets of paper in the log book and make the entries on them. Mr. Berson asked the witnesses if the entries relating to the death of Heck had been made on the ith of July, and they replied in the affirmative. Ultimately the magistrate said that after • full consi• deration of this ease he should not be justified in detain. ing the prisoner, and he must b• discharged. FATAL TRADE OUTRAGE.—An inquest was held st Hanley on Wednesday on the bodyof Edward Evans, brick maker, who had died at the infirmary near that town in con sequence of having been seriously injured on the 13th of July. Deceased had worked as a brickmaker near Turistall, and on the day named left work with a fellow-workman named Corns, the two being together till nearly ten o'clock, when Corns left deceased at a public-house with a Birming ham prise-fighter, known as Keggy Wilson. Subsequently he was seen at the same place in the company of two Irish men, one of whom was named Morris, and who had worked last year for deceased as temperer. Plant, who sew the Irishmen with deceased, went home, and a little before three o'clock in the morning was woke up by the deceased, who had crawled to the door, end complained of having been assaulted by two Irishmen. Evans was removed to the infirmary on the Wednesday following, and there died recently. Plant said that deceased was not a union man. When he came to witness's house, he said that two Irishmen had met him in the Shaydruck, neer Tunrtall,and had knocked him down and kicked him severely. They had then dragged him towards a coal-pit, and as he was re covering from the insensibility which had been caused by the kicking, he heard one say, "Let us drop him down the pit." On hearing this, he began screaming " murder," and his assailants, after kicking him, mule otf. Witness asked Evans who the men were, and he replied that lie .lid not know. Witness afterwards was told to may as little as possible on account of the club. Eliza Shackeltun, after corroborating deceased's account of the attack, said she believed there had been some grievance before. From the evidence of the widow it was plain that plunder was not the object, for in the evening she had met her husband and received from him 225., and when he was taken home from Plant's on the following day he bad 7s in his pockets . In answer to questions, Mrs. Evans mid— i have heard my husband complain of Morris, about the tempering of the clay. Morris tempered for him last year. Morris came to my house last week, and told me he was innocent. I had not made any charge against him, and I don't know that anybody else had. My husband did not suspect him. He did not know the men who attacked him. Stubbs had told my husband that Morris had threatened him. My husband once went to firing from the making, and Morris woe vexed with him about that. The inquiry was then adjourned for the production of fur ther evidence. SINGULAR Accrogrr.—On Wednesday night a dangerous and curious accident occurred in Coleman street, ISunhill-fields. It appears that near the Quaker burial-ground extensive excavations have been made to form the foundation of a large factory, which it is con. templated to build there. The house adjoining has during the operations been propped up, but it seems that the excavations have weakened it, and yesterday the side wall fell out into the excavation, causing great consterna tion. A large number of persons soon collected, and a very curious spectacle presented itself. In the room of which the wall formed a side a woman had lately been confined, awl through the aperture she and the child, the bed and its hangings, and the other furniture of the place were distinctly visible to the gaze of the curious tors below. The frightened woman was immediatert. moved, and beyond a considerable shock, it did not appear that she had sustained any injury. Fortunately the accident occurred when no workmen were about. At a meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board yesterday, the chairman stated that he had received a letter to the effect that the Earl of Derby would be present at laying the foundation atone of the New Southern Hospital, on the 23rd of October next. _ CRYSTAL PALACE.

WOOL AND WORSTED.-1311ADFORD, SEPT. The fiatnees which characterised the market on Motday continues to-day. Spinners show great timidity in buying wool, and staplers were all anxiety to sell. Prices are a shade easier than last week. The principal cause of this marked decline seems to be a general want of confidence. Some also attribute much of the gloom to the adverse posi. tion in France of the Credit Mobilier Company, and the probability of its being wound up, inasmuch as this result cannot fail to affect the commercial relations of this country to some extent. The demand for worsted yarns is very meagre indeed. The export merchants are scarcely in the market, and wherever any appear their offers are so low as scarcely to tempt the spinner to do busines. There is • very fiat trade is home sorts, and, such as it is, is con fined almost exclusively to coloured yams, the demand for which also has begun to slacken considerably. Prices are very irregular. Whenever the seller sees a chance of dia. posing of his stock, he is prepared to meet the buyers almost on his own terms. In reference to the piece trade, the time is" just between the seasons." It is come. quently too early for the placing of orders. Very little business has been done to-&y. Manufacturers, however, expect a revival of business ere long, and a somewhat hope. ful feeling prevails. The surprise now is that, with the long continued torpor, manufacturers have been able to keep their machinery so well employed. Prices are not quotably changed from last week.
