Sittings at Nisi Prins after term at Westminster.—(Befogs Lord Ma/ Jaffitie•Ooekbura and a Spacial Jury,) TIIII WEIN V. 1111111111—OHABOR_Oir PZILIUBY AQAINST A NOLICTPOIL This was an indictment for perjury. The defendant pleaded not guilty. A difficulty arose at first with reference to the proceedings. Only tee special jurymen answered to thew ems, and, as is necessary in indictments tried in this wart, neither party can pray • tales is th e Attereey-General's absence without his warrant. This the proseentioa had not est, sad the Lord Chief Justice, after nmerldng on the fact as me of those obsolete forms that could set be got over said he was afraid the case must go over in mem .Inquiries were made for the Attorney-General in Westminster-hall, but he was nowhere to be found, and jest as the parties were considering they would have to leave the mart with- out • bearing, and some of the learned counsel engem& were tying up their briefs and papers, Mr. Memuley pro duced the Attorney-General's warrant, and prayed a tales on behalf of the defendant. The case the proceeded. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Telford Salter, were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Macaulay, Q. 0., a nd Mr. Brent were counsel for the defendant. Ths feats and circumstances of the case having been so repeatedly before the public, it would be • waste of .pace to enter fully into the details. The prosecutor. Mr. Dawson, ie an attorney, and in 1858 he entered the service of Messrs. Harris, hi respectable solicitors, at Rugby as , conveyaming clerk, at ghly • @shay of 2001. per annum. At the end el three or four months Mr. William Harris, the defendant, suggested that the prosecutor should look out for another situation. The prosecutor, seeing the death of • person announced who held • public office that he thought it was likely he could get, immediately left Rugby for London ,without seeing or communicating with his employers, and was absent two days On his return he was dismissed for neglecting his duties, the defendants paying the salary due down to the day of the prosecutor's leaving. The pressen tor brought an action against the defendants, which was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, the only question being whether under the circumstances he had neglected his duties in such • manner as the law would consider was en abrogation of the contract. The prosecutor had assumed that as he was under notice he had • right to do as he had done. In the action before Mr. Justice Byles the jury re turned • verdict for the fall amount claimed. The follow ing term the defendant obtained • rule for • new Irbil, which was made ebonite, and the second trial took place in June, 1959, before the Lord Chief Justice Erie, which resulted in favour of the defendants. An application was then made by the plaintiff for • third trial, but as the learned judges were two and two, the matter dropped, and these proceedings were instituted. The perjury complained of was that the defendant stated in his evidence on the second trial that he was greatly incon venienced by the prosecutor's absence in reference to • Chancery suit, " Young v. Richardson, " which he had in the o ffi ce, and was under the prosecuto rs management. The prosecutor was called, and it appeared from his evidence that he knew something about • Chancery case in which • person named Fry was concerned, and that he pre pared the notice for the change of attorney to the defend ant, and on eras-examination it • peered that Fry's came was omnected with "Young v. • ," which circum stance bad escaped the prosecutor's memory. The Lord Chief Justice interposed, and said that although Mr. Harris might have said what was not exactly correct, that he had &Chancery suit in his office, yet he had the embryo from which be expected it would spring ; and he thought it would be difficult to procure a oonvictiou for wilful and corrupt perjury, cepecially after the prosecutor's evidence relative to his knowledge of those proceedings. Mr. Serjeant Bellactioe said he doubted if he could, un der the circumstances, ask the jury to convict ; and after whatthe Lord Chief Justice had stated, he thought he ought to withdraw from the prosecution. The Lord Chief Justice said be thought that was the best course to pursue. No one ever sat on the bench with a stronger opinion with reference to perjury, or who would act stricter in calling upon a jury to do its duty, or who would discharge the office of judge with greeter severity when called upon to inflict punishment, than he would in owe of perjury, but they must ell make allowance for the defects of human nature and the misapprehensions that would arise. He thought no jury would convict of wilful and corrupt 'my in such a case as this. There were the materials for a Chancery suit in the defendant's office at the time the prosecutor absented himself. It was not because there was no material business in an office that • desk would be justified in absenting himself without leave. Mr. Serjeant Salentine said he preferred withdrawing from the prosecution to asking the jury to come to an opinion on the matter. The Lord Chief Justice mid the learned counsel was quite right. The case was then withdrawn. BAIL COI/RT.—Nov. 29. Sittings at Nisi Prins after term at Westmiuster.—{Before Mr. Justice Crompton and a Common Jury.) KNIGHT V. JACOBS AND ANOTIIEB.-CUIDOUS CASE OF LIBEL. This was an action for libel. The defendanta pleaded a justification. Mr. Huddloam, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Lopez, were counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff is a chemist and druggist, carrying on busi ness at Alton, in Hampshire, and the defendanta are the proprietors of the Hampshire Chronicle, published at Win chester, and the libel complained of wee as follows —" This town has been during the greater part of the past week the scene of one of those boisterous exhibitions of popular in dignation known an rough music. A certain Knight of the pestle and mortar having taken it into his head to maltreat his wife, pull her out of bed, beat her, and turn her out of doors in the night, a crowd of several hundred men and boys, armed with old tin cans, sheets of iron, and other sway instruments, paraded the streeta beating, groaning, sod yelling, to the great annoyance of the quiet and peaceable inhabitants. It MAIM hard that if one party is so unmanly as to lift his hand or his foot to a woman, and that woman his wife, the whole community should be outraged with im punity for several evenings together by such a hideous up roar.' After the publication of the paragraph the plaintiff wrote to the defendants, complaining of it and asking to be informed the rime of the correspondent at Alton who bad furnished the paragraph, considering it to have been written for the purpose of prejudicing him with the public. The defendants answered that they had every confidence in their correspondent, would communicate with him, but declined to give up his name, holding themselves responsible. The plaintiff wrote a second letter, in which he said he could not acquit the correspondent of personal feeling, notwithstanding his alleged respectability. In the letter he referred to his family differences with his wife, and asserted that the paragraph was written by the Alton correspondent of the paper with a view of ruining him, and it gave an account of proceedings before the magistrates relative to plaintiff end his wife. To that the defendants sent a reply offering to publish a copy of the proceedings before the magistrates. The plaintiff then consulted his solicitor, who wrote the defendants and issued proceedings, and in the cor reapondeece that ensued the defendants bad offered to pub lish the plaintiff's version of the affair and insert an apology, but it was not accepted. The plaintiff and several witnesses were called to prove the disagreements between him and his wife, and their separation. At the time in question the plaintiff's wife mune in his absence from business to his house, remained there the whole day, and went to bed before he came home. On his return be went to her and insisted on her leaving. She accordingly got up, dressed hermit and left, but immediately re-entered by the shop-door, be came very violent, broke the plaintiff's spectacles and also his watch chain. lie was rather excited and put her out, but he used no more violence than was necessary. He denied pulling her out of bed or , striking her. and his female servant Gudgeon, who said she was listening, deposed at no violence took place between them in the bedroom. The plaintiff said he had been married to his wife 20 years and they had had 12 children, but two only were now alive. They lived happily together for more than 12 years, arid until she joined the Independents. Mr. Justice Cromptou—Which — M religion or circum stances? (Laughter.) Plaintiff said—Religion. It was the following night that the "rough music" uaembled in front of his shop. Mr. Justice Crompton—What is rough music . Plaintiff—Old tin kettles and the like. (laughter.) Mr. Justice Crompton—And that is what you call music! Plaintiff—Yes, and when ha asked what it was for, they said, " For you." (Loud laughter.) There was a similar serenading the following evening. Crces-examined—He bad threatened his wife with • knife or pulled her or knocked her off her chair, but he threatened her once with as unloaded gun is a moment of excitement, which he afterwards regretted, relative to some socks. His wife told the servant to thrust them down his throat. Mr. Justice Crompton—Clan or dirty! Plaintiff—Dirty. (Laughter.) Mrs. Gudgeon said that after Mrs. Knight came to the house she went into the cellar and opened a bottle of port and drank some of it, and went to bed about 2 o'clock. She got up about 5 o'clock and got a bottle of sherry, which she &sok. She told the children, who saw the bottle in her pocket, that it was water. (Laughter.) She went to bed again about half-past 'even o'clock. When she came back into the shop she seized the plaintiff and shook him up. Mr. Coleri • dge, for the defendants, regretted this case should have been proceeded with after their offer to apolo gise. Am men of 'honour they were boood to steed by their correspondent, and as the pleintiff would go us gay Irmo obliged to call the wife : and the plaintiff had only himself to blame kettle of his family squabbles and diffe rences. Me com ma aircomplained of the unmanly insinuation of drunken's= on the part of I: . he wife. Mrs. Knight was called. Was said that be had on several occasions invested her, and oil one occasion be struck her when she was sitting in an arm-chair. On the day in question she went to his house for some money, but he was not at home. She was unwell, sod made herself some arrowroot, into which she put a glass of wine, which wee all abe drank that day. She positively denied th at she war intoxicated. She poured out a glare of wine for Oudgeoo, but she would not drink it. She went to bed because she was unwell, and not from dranksaaess. When her husband nrthrsed home, he came to the bedroom, called bee a -- drunkard, palled her out of bed, and said that if she did not knee the lease he would murder her.

The commirsion for the coonty of Seat was opened in this town on Saturday by Yr. Jostles Bylea. There are a good many prisoners for trial, roe of when I charged with murder. There are also normal men to be tried for man slaughter arising out of • poaching affray, and there are a good many other serious cases to be disposed of. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Mary Wilson, a young woman, fashionably dressed, was charged with robbing Idr. Leekin of 301. in bank noise. The prisoner was seen by Francis Bird to be struggling with the prosecutor in Aldersgateretreet, at eleven at night, and afterwards to run away. When followed she gave up a pocket-book, which she had in one hand, and bank notes, amounting to 301., from the other. The prosecutor, who was drunk, did not remember seeing the prisoner until she returned his property, and asked him to forgive her. The prisoner said she had been with the prosecutor for two hours at several public-houses. He promised to give her 15m, and at last his pocket-book fell out, and she picked it up. He then asked her to take cue of it for him, and when he wanted it back she gave it to him. The prosecutor positively denied the whole of the state ment. Alderman Humphery said the prisoner's statement was ingenious, but he did not believe her. Sentence—Three months' imprisonment% with bard labour. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. Nothing definite has yet transpired as to the opening of this line of railway. lir. Fowler, the engineer, in his last report to the dinettes, elated most confidently that everything would be ready for the opening by the Ist of October tut. The bursting of the Fleet sewer was assigned as • cause of delay, and when all the damage occa sioned by this accident bed been repaired, a further cause for postponement was found in the necessity for arranging or adapting the system of working the signal'. Then it was found that the curlews which had been built for the railway were too wide, and that the doors could not lin corequence be opened in the tunnel They were, in fast, made some 10 inches wider than the ordinary carriages of the Great Welters Railway. This blunder has, we believe, bees now rectified by reducing the width of the carriages. One reason for not opening the he. was, however, put forward, which, =like any of those aheady mentioned, bad really so foundation, viz.. that the delay was occasioned by difficulties interposed by the (beat Western Railway, who had undertaken to work the BIM to far beet this being the case, the Great Western Company have teen prepared at any time within the last three menthes to undertake the working of the railway, and 00 blame whatever can be attributed Is there in this reepeca The Greet Western Company are prepared to abide by and to carry out the working anangemente in the fairest mat honourable manner. Among the rumours which ha been current during the last week as to the awn of ' delay are some of • very grave MUM. It was stated that the works connected with the new Fleet sewer were not sufficiently strong, that a very large portion of the beak of the cutting sear the bsuionolteues, Clerkenwell, had given way, and that th e reseestruetion of • large part of th e ro tatable wall in some ether pens near the line of the sewer would be neeswary.

The directors of the Great Western Company have dose all in their power to complete the arraagements ; the station-masters, and guards, and porters are appointed ; and the =ewer now given to all in quirk* on the subject is that the opening day will not be delayed beyond the middle of next month.—Observer. LANCASHIRE DISTRASS AND THE POOR-RATSS. A parliamentary return relating to the distress in the north has been prepared by the Poor-law Board. The return gives on its first page a comparative statement of the expenditure for relief in two of the Cheshire and all of the Lancashire unions in the half-years ended at Michaelmas, 1861 and 1862. In lameshire the amount in the earlier period was 205,4471. ; in the latter. £32,443/. Consequently there was an increase of 126,9961. That addi tion is equal to 62 per cent. In these sums, however, the expenditure of nine anions not connected with the cotton trade is included. The cotton trade is, so far as this return extends, confined to 21 unions of Lancashire and the unions of Stockport and Maccleefield, in Cheshire. The increase is these 2.3 unions was 179,655!., or 74 per cent. This in an area inhabited by 2,100.000 persons. Seven unions claim priority in the ranks of the distressed by the excessive augmentation of their disbursements : Amount of Increase increase. per cent.

It appeared that on the night of Monday, the 24th ult., the deceased and two other men, named Benjamin Newell and Samuel Edwards, were drink ing at the Horse Shoes public-house, at Great Dunham. On leaving the house they commenced fighting in the road, and the deceased knocked Newell and Edwards down, taking a stick away from the former, who exclaimed, " I have got something for a like you," and stretched forwent as if with the intention of stabbing his opponent. The deceased almost instantly fell, calling out that he was stabbed.

COTTON.—LivEarooL, Nov. 29.—The busioesa today is not large, but prices are firm with a better feeling ; there is also rather more demand for American. The sales are 3,000 bales, including 500 American, at 19d. to 21d. ; 2,110 Surat, at 121 id. to 35d. ; 100 Euptian, at 22d. to 32d. ;40 Pernam, at 21d. • 250 Manahan, at 21d. ;of which 1,000 are for spewllation and export. Todsy's import is 3,644 bales. COTTON GOODS.—Mascwria, Nov. 29.—A general impression prevailed at the dose of list week that the im proved demand which bad shown itself, especially on Fri day and Saturday, foreshadowed a natural and healthy re action. Our reports, on the contrary, attributed the busi ness in cloths pertly, if not mainly, to speculation, and this turns out to have been the case. Manufacturers having been led, on Monday and Tuesday, to demand higher rates, buyers became shy, and we have had a very quiet and tat market, getting weaker from day to day throughout the week. It is now evident that last week's busi ness was the result of the gradual decline of prices, and it is believed that sellers, especially in yarns, might have made considerable sales on Tuesday but for the advance they were asking, which amounted on some kinds on twist to id. per lb. There has been more business done during the week in yarns than cloths, owing to a few manufacturers here and there having re-opened their mills. Some purchases of yarn have also been made by shippers to India and the Mediterranean, but they have not been large. There has been a limited demand from ship pers and the home trade for cloths of nearly all kinds, evi dently for consumption, but only in va7 small parcels, and the buyers cf them are industrious in testing the market so as to pick them up at the lowest possible rates.' Yarns from weenie parts of the continent continue to be offered, and at rather lower prices than those current for home spun. WOOLLllll.—Lzune, Nov. 29.—The month closes with • quiet market, though one, on the whole, fully as animated as we could expect at this seamen of the year. In the coloured hall, tweeds again commanded a fair share of attention, though the demand for thew is of mane not what it was a short time ago. Samples of light molter, ebonies, and other fabrics for the coming spring also met with pur -1 chasers. The white ball was quiet ; a few mediums changed bands, but otherwise the transactions were unimportant. Rake maintain their &mums. llARDWARL—Bridefirodad, Nov. 29.—The trade of this town is not so good as it was a month ago ' • of late the orders have been small, and although up to this iod the men have beedikept on full time at all the manu factories, this will not be continued unless trade revival in the course of the next two or three weeks. In the agricul tural districts business continues quiet, no improvement whatever having yet taken place ; the factors who have their principal 000nexion with those parts of the country, are giving out very small orders, and much more of amen&tioo is not expected. The north country trade is steady. The foreign trade is tolerably good; m some respects the orders is are better than usual for the time of year; there are a fair supply in from the West India and from South America. The metal trades are moderately good, and the wire mills are most of them running full time; in the fancy wares a slight improvement has taken place. The manufacturing trades of the district are in much the same date as they have been for the last month ; at the foundries business is tolerably brisk ; the staple trade of Walsall continues flat. The iron trade of this district is in a satisfactory state ; all the principal makers in the locality being well supplied with orders. For sheets and plates especially there is • good demand, and the second-cleas makers are obtaining fair prior for all descriptions of finished iron ; at present, however, there is nothing in the state of the trade to justify an advance at the approaching preliminary meeting. The colliers have given notioe'f or araovance or wages, which the Doel-rnasters, at a meeting held at Dudley yesterday, declined to concede. 0011N.-C•eatai o e, Nov. 29.-We had a very heavy trade for all sorts of corn at last week's price*.

NEWCASTLZ•UPON-'rl7l, Nov. 29.-At our market this morning we had a less supply of wheat from the growers, condition various ; nevertheless, a clearance was early ef fected at fully the rake of this day senoight. Owing to the very liberal receipta coastwise, and a large portion hay ing passed direct into the hands of our millers, very little was done from the steads, factors evincing great firmness, and refusing to sell excepting at extreme rites, it being very improbable that such ao arrival as 10,000 qrs. can be melded ; foreign was also sparingly dealt in, but in its value former prices were paid. With very large supplies of barley, the long-detained vessels having all come to hand together, our buyers operated very cautiously. and very few transactions resulted, our waiters wishing to purchase at lower rates than factors felt justified in accepting ; grinding unaltered.

OAITLE.-o.temaz.s, Nov. 29. —Although the supply to-day comprised • sprinkling of almost every hosed usually exhibited hem, the Dumber showed • decoded falling cd. The quality wee generally much inferior. Shorthorns were in very small supply, and the trade for them was nearly n a standstill. The same remark may also be applied to loways, mileh cows, and crosses, but Highlanders and Irish were well represented, the former comprising some eery excellent specimens. They, however, met a dull trade, and up to nearly noon not a single silo was effected. Irish also sold very slowly, the business doss up to shortly before noon being very trifling. Of sheep aud lambs the supply was small, • few lots of Cheviot, mat, and helf-bred lambs, and • sprinkling of Cheviot eweecoinpriatni the whole stock. The trade during the earlier boon of the market was extremely dull, there being little or no business transacted. Our market still continues to be plentifully supplied with young pigs, generally in good condition. To-day there were fully 100 cartloeds ou offer, and although there were by no means so many buyers pre sent as at the preceding market, there was a good retail trade done, •at slightly reduced prices, but, owing to the large supply, and the slow wholesale trade, • large quan tity remained unsold. Prices ringed from Ss. to M. Gd., the average being about 11a. a head. STEAM SHIPPING. —Durieg the pest month steam. shipping affairs have undergone but little change; the tendency of the market, however, both as regards purc sales hase and freight, has, if anything, been improving. The have been of a monthly avenge, several Dew and second• band steamers having changed, hands, including fast and suitable reseals for the Southern States of America. Addi. tional orders have been received by a few of our eminent builders, those on the Clyde in particular being pretty well employed until the ensuing spring. Trade in nearly closed to the Baltic ; homeward freights, considering the advanced state of the year, from the lower grain ports an. low, as they have recently prevailed. Small steamers for grain from the Swedish and Danish pore have been *aired for ; and fair rates could hate been obtained. The Medi• terrarium trade, both out and home, is depressed, with little doing. For time charters inquiry has eroded, sod several vessels have bees find at fair rates. In the coal trade better freights prevail but the demand is limited .

BIRMINGHAM CATTLE AND POULTRY SHOW. BIRMINGHAM, Saxons:tax livitsruta. This year's exhibition of cattle, sheep, and poultry, at Buigley-hall, will he opened on Monday to what is called the " private view." The show has pined so padually upon that of Smithfield, that so far from being merely Dewed to that time-honoured exhibition, this is at ----- least on a par with it ; and this year's show is in every re spect equal, and in some rather superior to any which have preceded it. For instance, the member of entries for cattle is 131, which 11, we believe, the largest, with one exception, in any year since the show was established. Since last year an important change has taken place in the arrangements at Bingleyball ; spacious as the area of the building is, it has been found inadequate, and especially so since the determination of the council to admit agricul tural implements. Last year a small space was devoted to that purpose, but the applications for it being much larger than cu* possibly be spared, the council determined to in crease their space by the erection of a gallery at one end of the building. This has been .done with ,good effect, and it is this year filled with • fine collection of roots of excellent growth for the season, especially as regards the mangokls, of which there are some very magnificent specimens. The alteration to which reference has been made has left such • apses to be set apart for the implement depart ment as to produce a very fine collection, the principal exhibitors being Messrs. Ransom. and Sims, of Ipswich; Memos. Howard and Son, of Bedford; ' Messrs. Clayton, Shuttlewortb, and Co., of Lincoln ; Messrs. Garrett and Sons, of ffaxmondham ; Moan. Hornby and Sons, of Grantham ; Messrs. Richmond sad Cheadle, of Manchester; Mr. Boby, of Bury St Edmund. ; Mears. Mapplebeck and Lows, of Birmingham, and several others. We believe that the applications for epos in this department were larger than bad been calculated upon, sea the rent for allotments will amount to nearly UV. There are some articles exhibited which cannot certainly be classed amongst " agricultural implements." These may with more propriety be excluded at future exhibitions, and the apace thus occupied be far more appropriately set apart for articles more closely connected with agricultural pursuits. In another respect the council have altered the arraoge meets of previous years. With the very best inteutions, no doubt, it resolved to admit the representatives of the press soon after three o'clock this afternoon, the judges being at that time in the midst of their duties ; the remit was that there were at times a greater number of persons in closer proximity to those gentlemen than was perhaps quite convenient or consistent with the very arduous duties they had to perform. Mr. Jeremiah Matthews and other members of the council did their best to keep the judges free from all embanseament from the cause referred to, and probably with mew ; but we are by no means certain that the new arrangement is • satisfactory one ; a modifi cation of the rule for future years may render it so. The show itself is • great saucer ; no doubt there have been occasional instances in which a better animal has been shown in • Hereford due than is now to be soon in Bingley. ball ; but as • class entire, it is the opinion of the judges that there never was a fi ner display . The Hereford bul locks are splendid animals, end the short-horn heifers are as near perfection as possible. The pnas in class one is • noble specimen of the Hereford breed ; its girth behind the shoulders is 9 feet 4 inches ; the exhibitor, who is also the breeder, is Mr. John Hatcher, of Maywood Grange, marmar Bristol. This animal deo took Mr. Joel's prier. The Hereford steer which took the tint prize in class 2 also obtained the President's prize for the best animal, shown by an exhibitor who waa also the breeder. This was Mr. George Pitt, Chadnoncourt, Dilwyn, near Leominster. Is class 3 (cows), to the animal whichigained the first prize was also awarded the 201., as the beat Hereford in the yard. Class 7, for short-horn cows, was • very ant class, not an inferior animal it ; the winner of the tint also the 'i t rat in ah c . t a i rt- on prizeeni eZllfbited, a ward edid th ' i h ord . midal ex . tra Fo u r this there was a formidable competitor in Mr. Swinnerton's short-horn ox, which obtained the first prize in aids 5, sad which gained a prize in Bingley-hall last year, and was also the second-beet animal exhibited on that 00a don. Class 8, Shortboru heifers—No less than 18 animals were shown, Mr. Robert Tennant, of Scarcroft, near Leeds, taking the first pnu. The Devon classes were rather better filled than nanaL To the winner of first prize for animal. exceeding three years and three months old was also awarded the extra 201. ; the exhibitor was Mr. William Smith, of Southernhay, near Exeter. In the class for Derzn steers not exceeding three years and three months old the second prize was awarded to an animal exhibited by Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, his late Royal Higbee's the Prince Consort being the breeder. In the class for Devon cows the first prise was withheld. la class 15 for pore breeds (except Scotch and Welsh) and ewes breeds, the pries and gold medal, as the best animal in the yard, was awarded to Mr. James Stewart, of New Market, Aberdeen, to whom was also awarded the prize of the Inn keepers' Cup. Tao Scotch breeds were well represented. The first prize In class 18 (oxen or steers) was awarded to Mr. James Steuart, of New Market, Aberdeen. To this animal was also awarded the extra 201. as the best Scotch breed shown, bet there was a very formidable competition for this ; • heifer shown by Major Wollaston. of Sheldon Hall, Nuneatou, which obtained the prize in class 19. The Welsh breeds were poorly represented as to numbers, and in the extra classes there was no entry. The competition in all the classes was very great, as was evidenced by the number of times the judges had the animals out ; also by thelatenese of the hour—past seven o'clock—before the labours of the judges of cattle had concluded. The commendations were numerous. The sheep pens were well filled. Of Shropshire, and long wools the display was probably the finest ever seen at this exhibition. South Downs were not quite so good as usual. The pigs will bear comparison with any previous exhibi. thin here. and it has always been first rate in that depart ment. The Berkshire breed maintained its ascendancy. Of poultry there is a magnificent display, every species of domestic fowl being represented. There held) a good caw, tree of pigeons. THE DOG SHOW. This is fast rivalling the exhibition of cattle in point of attractiveness. This year capital "premises" Lave been obtained for it in close proximity to /3M6ley-hall; the place is well lighted, the arrangement for military is ample, and the accommodation in every way good. The entries number 640, and as one of these is for a pen of six young dogs, the total number is 645. Last year the total was 535. In the first division, dogs used in arid sports, the entries this year are 441, against 414 in 1861; and in the second division, dogs not nand in field sports, 199 against 121. The largest entry this year is that of pointer dogs of a large size, 55. Other classes will also be well filled : for instance, there are 3$ retriever dogs ; 33 pointer bitches, large size ; 31 pointer dogs of a small size, and 30 bitches ; 25 English setter dogs ;27 black and tan setter dogs : 12 Irish setter dogs ; 11 bloodhound dogs; 10 deerbosod dogs; 9 greyhound dogs and 11 bitches ; and 28 spaniel dogs and 13 bitches in the two classes fur various breeds. In the extra class in this division there are entries of Russian spaniels, German tom hounds, an Albanian dog, and an Albanian greyhound. The second division of the show will prove uousually interest ing this year. We give the numbers in some of the clamed : mastiffs, 12 ; Newfoundland dogs, 17 ; Dalmatian dogs, 10 ; bull (logs, 19 ; black and tan terriers, 16 ; white and other English terriers, 19 dogs and 24 bitches ; Skye and Dandle Diumoot terriers, 15 ; and other Scotch terriers, 10. Time are 21 entries in the extra classes for foreign , of large and small breeds, which will include St. Bernard, us, NewLmndland, Prussian terrier, Maltese, Pomeranian, • Vnl pino or Roman dog, and Russian dogs. The dog show also opens on Monday. BOW-STREET. William Mete, a porter at llebenham and Story's, was charged with stealing a quantity of jewellery and lather valuables from his employers' auction rooms. The prisoner confessed his guilt, the property having been found upon him. Committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sarah Simi* a well-dressed young woman, was with stealing five rings, value 161 ., from Mr. Wells, je c t a g, at 65, Piccadilly. The prisoner and another young woman came into the shop, about five o'clock on the previous afternoon, while be was serving two gentlemen, and asked to look at some rine. They were not pleased with those they looked at, and he est another tray before them. When the gentle ' men left he waited upon the women, but nothing would suit them. They were about to leave, when he missed five rings, and told them they should not leave the shop till they were produced. One of the women then ran out of the shop, and the prisoner indignantly denied having taken the articles. A policeman was called in, when the prisoner gave an address which turned out to be fictitious. None of the rings were found upon her, but the prosecutor said he believed her associate must have taken them. Remanded. LAMBETH. Martha Quiufreff. 20. was charged with being concerned with "her young man," not in custody, in steeling from her master a great deal of valuable plate, and 164 MX in gold and silver. It appeared that she bad been in the service of Mr. Rudd, at Gloucester-villas, Brixton, since the beginning of August, and on Thursday afternoon Mr. Rudd went out, leaving Mrs. Rudd, an old lady, and the prisoner in the house. When he returned, he found that the prisoner bad stated there were thieves in the house, and that she had lost 2L 15e. Mr. Rudd called in a policeman, who disco vered that several drawers and boxes been toned open, and that a quantity of silver plate had been taken away. The silver bad been selected from among the plated arti cles, and the latter were found concealed under a bed. On hearing that the prisoner's " young man " had accompanied her home one evening, the constable recommended that she should be given into custody. This Mr. Rudd was un willing to do, but he determined not to allow her to leave the house that night. She contrived, however, to serapes but was taken into custody on Friday. Remanded for her " young man." SOUTHWARK. D. Oalaltaw and D. Posey, carmen, in the employ of Messrs. Thomas and Co., soap manufacturers, Whitechapel, were charged with stealing upwards of three hundred weight of soap from their employers. The prisoner Feeney was seen on the previous evening drawing a truck with three hundred weight of soap in it, and upon being spoken to by a constable, be stated that he had been told by Mr. Cashew also in Mr. Thomas's employ, to take the soap to a Mr. Briggs. The other pri soner (Calshaw) was then in custody. The prosecutor identified the sap as his property. He said the prisoners had been in his service for some years, and great confidence was reposed in them. Neither of them bad authority to remove the soap, and he had no customer named Bri d g er, Remanded, and bail taken for Calobaw. THAMES. Frederick Feast,l9 years of age, was charged with steal ing a goose which was hanging outside the shop of Mr. Ingram, of the Commercial•road East. The prisoner was seen to take the goose, sad after a sharp chase he was caught. He was convicted of burglary on the 29th of November, 1859, and sentenced to three years' penal servitude, but he bad a ticket of leave given him nine months ago, and since then he bad been charged with committing a very serious burglary and robbery, but escaped conviction. Committed for trial. SUSPECTED DEATHS PROM VIOLENCE. On Saturday an inquest was held, by adjourn ment, at the Victoria Dock Hotel, on the body of Arthur Manton, aged 21, a porter at the tidal basin station of the North Woolwich line of the Great Eastern Railway, who was supposed to have been murdered by • Dumber of mariners, alleged to belong to the screw collier James Dixon. The deceased was attacked by • party of sailors last Monday night, who were in a drunken state. He was much ill-treated by them, and was left in an insensible date. He was discovered by the police, who removed him, but he never rallied, and died the following morning. The inquest was adjourned in order to procure the attendance of several important witnesses now absent on board the James Dixon, which will be in dock again in • week's time. A protracted investigation took place at the St. Martin's Vestry-hall, Charing-cross, before Mr. Bedford, the West minster coroner, on Friday night, respecting the death of John Hitch, aged 20, who, there was reason to believe, haddied from the effects of savage injuries indicted on him by a gang of ruffians in the public streets. Maria Reynolds. 20, York-place, said that some weeks back deceased carob into her house trembling all over, and hardly able tospeak. He could not walk upstairs without stopping to rest frequently. He told her that he had seen some meant the streets interfering with three or four girls, and he crossed over to protect the latter. Six of the men instantly set upon him, beat him furiously, knocked him down, and kicked him in the stomach and chest as he lay on the ground. When at length he got up, he said he found that his stomach and chest were so seriously injured that be knew be could never recover, and that be should soon die from the effects of the attack. He told witness that the whole of the men set upon him so suddenly that he should not be able to identify them, and that it was, therefore, useless to go to the police. Deceased was • healthy, active young man when witness had seen him pre- The coroner said that in this case a certificate that de• oeasedffiad died (rotor phthisis one year, diarrhoss36 hours," bad actually been given by Dr. Leonard, ,who only arrived half•anbour after deceased's death, ands t for Mr. Tra vers, the present most oeceseery inq . would never have been held. Such a lax mode of giving certificate' could not fail to lead to deplorable results, especially at present time, and could not be too strongly condemned. With respect to the facts of the present came, it was very unfortunate that no direct evidence could be obtained with respect to the outrage on the deceased; and as there waseared no immediate prospect that it could be procured, he f that the only course open t o the jury would be to return an open verdict. Verdict—" That deceased died f r om coogention of the stomach, but whether such death was acceleratcd by vio leooe there was not sufficient evidenee to sbow ;" and the jury expressed their entire °mimesis°, in the obeervatious made by the coroner as to the impropriety and anger of granting certificates in Use lax manner referred to. - Tax CoNcier GARDNIIL—An official notification was received on Saturday at Newpte from the Home-office, stating that the sentence of death passed upon the sweep, Samuel Gardner, for the murder of his wife, had been com muted into penal servitude for life. He will, therefore, be sent out of the country, probably to Bermuda. In CUM where the punishment is less than for life, the prisoners are sent to Portland, where they en entitled to a ticket-of leave, after having conducted themselves well for two-thirds of the time.
