jflu%u. HER MAJEsTY's THEATRE. Millie. Kellogg continues tho utuaction which for first appearance promised she would exercise over the London politic. The repetition of her performances as Margberita in Fong, and Violetta in Le Trw rink, have been received with undituinisLial favour ; and hest night this admirable arist gained a fresh success by her appear ance Ifor the first time herelas Lady Henrietta in Flotow's Mat Although possessing considerable dramatic power and intense pathos, as evidenced in the deeper scenes both of Faust mid Lo Tr.:oda, Mdlle. Kel logg's tendency is perhaps rather to elegant comedy than to tragic and heroic grandeur : hence the part of Lady Henrietta is one peculiarly suited to her powers as an actress and her style as a singer. In those scenes where she appears in her own character her manner is that of the refined lady of high society, while in the assumption of the simplicity of the domestic servant the art of the actress is shown by the grace which underlies the rusticity which is but put on with the chanze of dress. The singing of Wale. Kellogg displayed all those high qualities of voice awl style on which we have counnented when noticing her previous performances. The bright yet sympathetic tone of voice, the thoroughly studied and completely finished execution, with that accuracy of intonation and good taste throughout which distinguish the genuine and thorough artist from the imperfectly trained student, were apparent through the whole of her performance last night, from the earlier scenes of coquettish languor, the comic humour of the situation in which she mocks the addresses of Lord Trie r.= (Signor %obeli), the farcical exagger.;t;on of which is redeemed by the refinement and grate of Millie. Kellogg, the disguise at the Statute Fair, and the hiring to domestic service ; to the pathos sad earnestness of her love for Lionel. and her avowal of her passion. The applause bestowed no her performance throughout was sufficient to prove that Mdlle. Kellogg has .mother success. In the capital " Spinning Quenon," the facile brilliancy of her execution, and the neatly finished staccato pas sages produced a strong impression and a call for repe tition. The Romance " Qui sole, virgin roes" (" The last rose of sunnier") was given with such exquisite delicacy and refined purity as to receive an immediate encore, responded to by repeating it with the English words. The Romance in the third act too ('' Qui tranquilla") was an example of the most refined vocal expression. Madame Trebelli-Bettini, as on former occasions, gave great im portance to the part of Nancy by her graceful acting and re lined singing; her arietta "Il tuo stral," in the third act being particularly noticeable for finished execution and florid vocalization. Lionel found a thoroughly efficient repre sentative in Signor Bettini, who elicited loud applause and a general call for repetition by his admirable singing of theair •• M'appari," one of the best solo pieces in the opera. Both last night, and especially by Lis excellent performance on Tuesday night in the more arduous part of Raoul. in the Hugnenott, Signor &Wei has proved his right to occupy the position of fiat tenor. Signor Gassier. as Plum's etto, gave a capital representation of the bluff Englishman, and gained the usual encore for the well known song in praise of beer. "Chi mi dlr.'s." The opera altogether is extremely wellgivemand with so attractive a Marta as blink. Kellogg, and the general efficiency of the cast, its sprightly music is far more accepts) le than that of some works of greater pretensions. On Thursday neat Mdlle. Kellogg is to repeat the performance, and on the following Saturday is to appear, for the first time here, in Linda di Chabiounii *parting intelligruct. SHREWSBURY MEETING.—Fr.nur. This meeting, which has been so busy and protracted one, concluded to-day, the weather being still more wretched than before. The sport was uneventful, and the races for the major part were won easily. One of the most interesting events of theday was the Autumn Steeple chase, the winner, Sprite, being the property of one of our most famous jockeys. Marie Louise scored ber fourth win within a fortnight, and by her clever style of ju m pi ng and the ruliculonAy easy manner in which she won, tun firmed the idea already entertained, that she is one of the best hurdle racers of the day. The reinnining races do not call for say special notice. HANDICAP SWKEPSTAKKJS of 3 soya each, with 2 added, for 2-yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra ; winner to be said for 50 sore.

FRAY r. owns. Miss Fray to-day moved for a rule calling upon the de fendant's attorney to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls for conspiring to deprive her of her liberty, or why he should not be called upon to answer the matters stated in the affidavits. She produced two affidavits. which stated that the writ under which she war arrested was endorsed to take to satisfy 24/. se. ed. in terest, and V. sa. the coats of execution ; and further, that the attorney, by refusing to take 25/. Lie., which was ten dered to him, caused the plaintiff to be kel.t improperly in prison for several hours. Mr. Justice Willes said that there were also due 2s. Cal. for a warrant. and V. 4a. for poundage, making the total amount a trifle over 271. This being so, a sufficient sum had Lot been tendered, and no case had been made out for the interference of the court in the manner prayed. Even Lamming that the sheriffs' officers had behaved roughly to the plaintiff, there was no reason why the court should fix the consequences upon the defendant's attorney without seeing that he wax a party t., such pro ceedings. He thought that they would be doini, great in justice if they granted the rule. The Lord Chief Justice said that be bad not interfered in this case in consequence of Miss Fray saying the other day that he ought not to take part in her matters because he bud been counsel for fourteen years for the Ear! of %Attend against her. He thought it, however, right to say openly and publicly that the only feeling induced in his mind by many years' experience was one of pity and compassion for Miss Fray ; and he regretted to hear her the other day say that she was suffering from disease of the brain. Miss Fray—Oh, no ; not now. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 1:1. (Before Mr. Commissioner Om IN RE R. A. slMllolflis. The bankrupt was a partner in the firm of Frederick Goodyear and Co., straw-hat and bonnet warehousemen, of Old Change. His separate debts amount to .P•,314/, ; property given up. 600/. ; ditto held by creditors, 3.1,4271.; doubtful debts, I,oso/. His liabilities on account of the firm of Goodyear and Co. are of course, those of the firm, 202.16'.V. The bankrupt had been required by the assignees to tile cash, goods, &c., accounts, and has done so. Kr. Phelps, for the assignees, asked for an adjournment. The bankrupt bad had large transactions in oil and other produce, apart from the business of Goodyear ; and as this h ad only recently coins to the knowledge of the orig. ne!?„ they wished for time to look into the accounts. . . Mr. E. Reed, who appeared for the bankrupt, stated that before his connexion with the fi rm of Goodyear and Co. be had acquired a fortune by his mercantile pursuits, and was living on his own means. He advanced money to Goodyear and Co. and ultimately became a sleeping partner. and was now made liable for the whole of their debts, upwards of 200.0001., on which, however, a dividend of ss. rid. had been paid. His Honour directed an adjournment and gave the assignees liberty to tender requisitions to the bankrupt. DROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE.

Lester, the street keeper, said that the defendant had a number of articles exposed for sale on the pavement in small baskets, and as be considered it an obstruction he reported the matter to the committee, who directed that these proceedings should be taken. In answer to the defendant the witness said that the pavement in front of the defendant's shop was 30ft. wide. One of the gentlemen belonging to the vestry was a Mr. Collin, jeweller, of Upperetreet. He has a case of jewellery on the pavement quits as wide as the baskets in front of the defendant's shop, but be had never spoken to Mr. CaMin about the obstruction. The obstruction in front of Mr. Cufliin's shop had been there for many years. He did not know why Mr. Cufliin and others were not summoned for a breach of the law. The defendant said he considered this a very hard pro ceeding by the vestry, as the baskets in front of his shop were only about a foot high and 2ft. wide. From the end of his brass piste to the end of his baskets was only six inches. Why the other tradesmen in Upper-street were not sung...oiled, whc had huger obstructions than he had, he could not tell. Mr. Barker said u the defendant had before been sum moned he would have to pay a fine of 20s. and costs. JO,l Nutttinrna , of 1 4 Upper-street, was ordered to pay the costs foe having an obstruction on the pavement. SOUTHWARK. George Day. a well-dressed young man, was placed at thebar before Mr.Burcham, for final examination, charged with stealing a watch and chain from the person of Mr. Thorne* Joseph Ochly, on the platform of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, London-bridge. The prosecutor said he was a contractor, residing at Brighton, and about half-past six on the evening of Mon day week he was waiting on the platform of the London bridge terminus for the purpose of proceeding to the Crystal Palace. There was a crowd of people also waiting for the train, and several times he observed the prisoner pushing among them. At last be came on the left side of witness, and a moment or so after that he felt his watch go. On looking down be saw the prisoner's hand leave his waistcoat pocket, and he could distinctly see the chain hanging from it. Witness immediately tried to seize him, but before he could do so the watch had passed to some one else. Witness, however, retained the chain, which was broken near the swivel The prisoner, on beir; questioned by Ida worship, elected to be tried by him instead of going to the sessions, and pleaded guilty. He denied haring been previously convicted. Mr. Burcham told him there was no evidence of that. but from the manner in which he committed the robbery he had no doubt be was an expert thief. He sentenced him to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. THAMES. Cartes &Oa, watchman, was brought before Mr. Paget, clamed with neglecting to maintain his wife and two chUren, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of St. George-hathe•East. Mr. William Rolston, relieving officer of St. George, said the prisoner had been very troublesome to the parish, and cu although he could aintain his children and himself and wife comfortably, hr preferred a life of violence, dissipa tion, and drunk e nness . The prisoner's wife and children had been chargeable to the parish since the 30th of July last. The prisoner said that twelve months ago be went to St. George's Workhouse to take his wife and children out, and the porter dragged him in, and said he uinst remain until his children, who were at the oountry establish ment, were sent for. He was set to work, and while carrying a sack of potatoes the cook of the workhouse threw him on the ground. His knee-cap was put out, and he was kept in the workhouse for six weeks without any attention being paid to him, and be was then carried to the convalescent ward. Mr. Rolston, en the contrary, said the prisoner woe kindly and considerately treated in the workhouse, and that on one occasion the prisoner came to the workhouse intoxicated, and demanded relief, and he shut the gates egainet him. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month, and kept to hard labour. THE P.RCENT RIOTS AT OXFORD.—At the city police court, held in the Council Chamber at Oxford yes terday. before the Mayor (Mr. Alderman Carr) and a full bench of magistrates, the cases of the rioted. were tried. Before the business of the court commenced, Mr. Alder man Grubb, one of the magistrates, against whose property the rioters have principally directed their attacks, said that he believed if it had not been for the timely arrival of the military three parts of Oxford would have been burnt. Be also produced three instruments similar to life preservers, made by the mob, and found on his pre mises. The eases of rioting, throwing stones, and breaking ' windows were disposed of summarily by the magistrates. ' Same of the rioters received two months' imprisonment, and others were ordered to pay fines instead of imprison ment, and some to tind sureties to keep the peace and to appear at the assizes if called upon. SOUTH LETeRSTERSHIRE ELECTION.—The writ for the South Leicestershire election was received in Leicester yesterday morning, and the sheriff has fixed the Domination fur Monday, the lith inst., and the polling for the Wednesday following. Mr. Paget, the liberal can didate, and Mr. Pell, the conservative, are holding daily and nightly meetings throughout the divisions. Mr. Paget s reception has been very cordial at all the meetings, but in some instances Mr. Pell has been unable to obtain a hearing. DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BATH. —OD Thursday evening His. Ellen Brass, the wife of a shoe maker, living in Monmouth-street, Bath, left her home with two of her children. aged two and five years. About half-an-boor afterwards a shriek was heard near the river close by, but owing to the darkness nothing could be seen, until next morning, when the bodies of the mother and elder child were found floating in the stream, that of the other child being not yet found. The unfortunate woman had been in ill-health for some time. Till COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR DrDLEY.—The ezpleibm which occurred at the Homer-hill Colliery on Monday is proving more disastrous as the effects of the in juries intlicted on the miner. become developed. Seven men and youths have died from their burns up to Thurs day night. Several more are not expected to recover, and, in fact, the deaths are likely to he in the ratio of one out of two of the men injured. An inspection of the spot where the fall of the strata took place which released the no•ious gas slows that an immense displacement of mate rial occurred. The ventilation of the mine, however, is excellent, and no danger seems to threaten from any fresh accumulation of gas, at least so far as can be mem The inquest has been formally opened, but adjourned to the sth proz. CHARGE OP LIBEL. At the Btansinn-house, yesterday, Mr. Thomas George Taylor, stock and aharebroker, carrying on business in Tokenhouse-yard, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer a summons, obtained against him at the instance of Mr. Henry Heyman, the chairman of the Don Pedro North del Hey Cold Mining Company (Limited), which charged him with haring, in the month of September last, unlawfully and maliciously published a certain defamatory libel of and concerning the said complainant and other direetors of the said company, contrary to the statute 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 96, sec. 5. Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, appeared in support of the complaint ; and Mr. Begley, barrister, attended on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Sleigh said this was a prosecution instituted against the defendant under Lord Campbell's Libel Act, and the charge substantially was that he did publish • false and' defamatory libel concerning Mr. Heyman, Mr. Foster, and other gentlemen, who were directors of the Don Pedro North del Rey Gold Mining Company (Limited). ltappeared that the company of which these gentlemen were directors,' and of which Mr. Heyman was the chairman, was formed in 1842, the capital paid up being 53,000/., and the nomi nal capital, 100,0001. It had progressed from that time to the present, and in to-day's paper the shares were quoted at 21 premium. The learned gentleman here read the names of the directors and officer, of the company in proof of its respectability, and proceeded to refer to a circular issued by Mr. Taylor, in which was contained the alleged libel. It was dated September 14th 1867. and the paragraph of complainedwhich lie imputed to the complainant and the other directors of this company nothing short of grossly fraudulent conduct. It was headed ' No. (iii -For private circulation only," but as regarded the copy which he held in his hand he might state that it was procured by calling at Mr. Taylor's office and asking for information respecting Australian wines ; so that, in fact, anybody could get • copy who applied for one. It commenced by making observations on the Oriental Steam Company, and also with respect to the Abyssinian expedition. With respect to mines it said, " I cannot recommend Chontales or Don Pedro North del Heys. Of course, like Wailers, Dolgellys, Chancelloevilles, Aqua Friars, Ave Marisa, Montes Aureos, Fort Bowen*, Santa Barbara', Nova Scotia*, and other heartless swindles, they will be kept be fore the public, advertised, praised, puffed, and assayed till the inevitable collapse comes. An officer of these com panies recently picked down with his nail, as it were blind folded, specimens of quartz which, on assay, produced 174 ounces per ton. Why this is child's play ; in the Monte, Aureos Mines we had samples which were said to have yielded near 2,000 ounces per ton, and yet the company, after the capital was called up, came to an utter smash, and there is no gold there worth working for." That paragraph wis one which imputed to these directors of a company not merely in a solvent but in a flourishing con dition, one which had been established several years, and whose accounts were audited by gentlemen of the emi nence of Quilter, Ball, and Co., that they were the pro moters of a company which was nothing less than a heart less swindle, or, in other words, that they were the eon cocton and promoters of a company which was obtaining the monies of the public by fraud and false pretences. He hardly thought it was worth while to refer to the law of the matter, for his friend Mr. Beale y knew as well as he did that in ruche case as this the libel applied toeachof the directors individually as much as if their names had been placed before the public, bemuse it was only necessary to turn to the prospectus to find out who they were, and the public, finding there the names of Mr. Heyman and the other directors, would take care that they should have no business relations with them, because, according to this circular, they were the promoters of a " heartless swindle " Having stated these facts, he should now ask his lordship to hear the evidence with respect to the publication of this circular, and it would then be for his lordship, with the assistance of the law officer of the court. to say whether this was • libel. Mr. Taylor had not made the ameade honnraide, and ho did not know whether it was his intention to do so, but if be at tempted to justify the imputation he mus t do so elsewhere, by a plea alleging it was true, and had been published for the public benefit. Mr. Bexley said he was far from stating that Mr. Taylor was not prepared to take the consequences of what he stated in his private circular, but he was bound to say that Mr. Taylor read the paragraph as referring to other companies as heartless swindles which were now in course of liquidation. All after "of course" down to "swin dles" was a parenthesis, and the only words that referred to the Chastities and Don Pedro North del Rey were that " they would be kept before the public, advertised, praised, puffed, and assayed, till the inevitable collapse comes." Previously to this there was • report from one of their own officers that there was no more gold, the shares fell from 4 to 1, and rumours had been circu lated that persons calculated to know what was going on had been selling out large sums before the general public became aware of the actual state of the company. The proper thing for the prosecutors to do, if they wished to press the charge, was to take proceedings against Mr. Taylor in a superior court, and he did not see that there was any personal imputation likely to lead to • breach of the peace, or likely to disturb the equanimit) of these gentlemen. Mr. Sleigh regretted that Mr. Begley had not met the charge in a frank spirit, and asserted that no information bad been kept back. The shares no doubt fell to 1, but they were now at 21 premium. If his friend had said that, upon hearing what had been stated, he withdrew all imputation from these gentlemen, he (Mr. Sleigh) would have taken upon himself, without consulting his clients, that there would have been no further proceedings, but unless a public apology was made in • frank and unre served manner, so that these gentlemen could feel that all imputation had been withdrawn from them, the ease must go on. Mr. Begley remarked that Mr. Taylor had never been asked to apologise or withdraw the imputation, and the first thing he heard was that . yesterday criminal proceed ings had been taken against him. The Lord Mayor observed that there was no doubt this paragraph was calculated to do serious injury to the com pany in question. Mr. Sleigh then called the person who received a copy of the circular at Mr. Taylor's office, and was proceeding with his examination, when a consultation took place between the learned counsel engaged in the case, at the close of which Mr. Sleigh announced that his friend and himself had agreed that the summons should be with drawn. His friend withdrew all imputation upon the directors of the Don Pedro North del Rey Gold Mining Company, and upon the company itself, it never having bean the intention of Mr. Taylor to reflect upon them at all, and he undertook to Mate this in his next circular. Mr. Healey was glad that this case had not gone further. lie was bound to say that Mr. Taylor never intended to reflect on a single gentleman, or to say that this company was a heartless swindle, and he not only withdrew that imputation upon the Don Pedro North del He Company, hot also so far as it concerned the directors of the Chou tales. To that extent, and to that extent only, he with drew. The parties then retired from the court. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. A dismission of considerable length took place after our report left yesterday, the general feeling of the meeting appearing to be decidedly against the pro. eels, Mr. King, of Liverpool, and Mr. R. S. Wil kinson, being among the speakers who took that side of the question, while Mr. Cyrus Legg and Mr. Powell spoke in favour of them. Eventually a resolution, moved by Mr. R. S. WILKINSON, and seconded by Mr. FAWCETT, was agreed to:—" That the proposition in its present shape be declined, and that a committee of five proprietors be appointed to confer with the Great Eastern East Anglian directors on any modification of the same that may be suggested, and that the meeting be adjourned to this day fortnight. The committee to consist of Meows. Maclaren, Scott, Fawcett, Edwards, and It. S. Wilkinson." A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Calsduulaa WORKMEN'S INTERNATIONAL EEH IBITION. —A public meeting was held on Thursday evening in the Lecture-hall of the Shaftesbury Working Men's Club, Prince's-road, Notting-bill, for the purpose of explaining and advocating the project of a Workmen's International Exhibition, proposed to be held in the metropolis in 1869. Mr. Winton, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Hamilton Hoare, took the chair, and with Messrs. T. Paterson (Working Men's Club and Institute Union), G. F. Savage, Parfitt, J. T. Dexter (Public Museums and Free Libra ries Association, and Paris Excursion Committee), and Wynne, Ace., addressed the meeting. A vote of confidence in the enterprise was unanimously passed, and another authorising the signature by the chairman of a petition to parliament praying fur such an amendment of the law of patents as will afford effectual protection to inventions placed in workmen's exhibitions. THE AFRICAN CONYCLEIONAIRES. —Mr. Frank Backland gives, in Land and Wafer, the result of his observations of these performers. The snakes they handle are not poisonous, but belong to a harmless species common in France and England. The man who throats skewers through his tongue and the back of hie neck has perma nent holes for their introduction, and does not suffer more pain than when a lady puts on her earrings after leaving them off for some time. Other features of the exhibition rem►in unexplained.

The inquiry was resumed yesterday morning, and the examination of Dr. Powell, the house surgeon, was again proceeded with. Dr. Powell, examined by Mr. Smith, said—Nine-tenths of the men in the able-bodied ward are infirm. Ido not consider that the ventilation of the dormitories is " nearly sufficient," as stated in the report of the Lancet com missioners. The smell is very offensive at night, and worse every morning. The inmates are locked in at night, and there is no water-closet inside, but • night com mode is placed in one of the wards, I think in that of the males. I am, however, inclined to think there is one in each. I have never seen a bell by which assistance may be called. I took the Lancer commissioners to the able . . bodied male ward, which is a brick a tile-floored room, and there were then four inmates in that ward. At present, whatever the classification may be, there is only one man really able-bodied in this house The whole of the men in the able-bodied ward were dis eased or infirm, and were on the medical book. It is true that the Lancet could one no really - th healthy people except a few young women, mostly wit babies, and a few young shin. I will not take upon myself to say that the tramp-receiving wards look like rab bit-hutches ; I leave the public to judge for themselves ; but I consider them very WA receiving wards for tramps, or any human being whatever ; nor are they fit for human beings. In the male wad there is loose straw to sleep on; I could not say it was frowsy, se it is no pert of my duty to see. In the female wards the straw is enclosed in ticking. I think there is a rug for each tramp in these ward'. Loth wards are fastened with huge padlocks. I know no limitation's' to the hour of receiving tramps at this house. There is no bell, or any other means of com munication whatever with the olitaide world. It would be perfectly impossible to make any offi cial hear. I have always understood that the men on admission are allowed no food, however weary and faint they may be. The women are allowed a piece of bread on admission, if they have children with them, not otherwise. On the Bth of July last 1 made a representa tion to the guardians that the women should be allowed to have food on their admission. I remember the case of a female who had been in the tramp ward, respecting whom I wrote to the board about the Bth of J ulv. Mr. Barrow objected to the letter then written being referred to, inasmuch as there was no evidence as to its having come to the hands of the board of guardians, and he was instructed that the guardians had never seen it. Mr. W. Chapman, reporter to the County Chronicle, was then sworn. He stated that he was present at the meeting of the guardians at which the letter alluded to by Dr. Powell was read, and he well remembered a lengthened discussion arising upon it, in the course of which Mr. Rounrien, a guardian, said that the tramp wards ought to be improved, that the inmates were obliged to " rap like criminals," and that the action of the guardians was fettered by the Poor-law Board, more especially in respect to the allowance of food to the tramps, in which remarks the other members present unanimously concurred. Mr. Lambert read • minute of the Poor-law Board, in which it was clearly laid down that tramps should be sup plied with bread or potatoes upon their admission into the house. Mr. Chapman mid that the guardians referred to some document to allow that they had no power to alter existing arrangements, and expressed regret that such was the The witness was crasrexamined by Mr. Barrow as to the reading of Dr. PowelPs letter before the board, but his testimony was unshaken, and the report from the County Citroniee, in which the substance of the letter appeared, was put in evidence. It was to the effect " that a woman named Frances Hopkins and her husband applied for ad mission, when the husband was refused and the wife admitted and sent into the infirmary in labour, about eight o'clock on Sunday morning. She stated that she had not tasted any food after leaving Cobham at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, until nine o'clock on Sunday morning, when the nurse gave her some bread and butter, and that an interval of 27 hours had elapsed without her partaking of food, of which 14 hours were spent in the workhouse. The general custom of the Farnham work house was to give no food to tramps on admission. He did not bring the case as a complaint, but that the custom might be altered if the board thought it advisable." Dr. Powell'ip examination continued—The woman com plained when I saw her that she had applied for food, and had been unable to get any, and that she had protested against being locked up when she was so near her confinement. The government of the house, so far as I know, is accurately described as being " a despotism on the part of the late master." Almost everything I tried to do for good he thwarted, and the things I suggested were for the sick and for the benefit of the house. For the last four years, nearly, I have been trying to introduce changes for the benefit of the sick. The master usually carried his way with the guardians when they remonstrated with him, and was virtually their master. I remember the case of John Tuckey, the epileptic who fell into the cesspool. Ido not know at what time he was taken out of the cesspool, but I saw him at half-put eleven o'clock in one of the dormitories. I heard that he had afterwards had a warm bath and a glass of gin, and I consider all that was done for him very proper. When I saw him he was becoming comatose, but was not insensible, and was apparently very sleepy. The matter vomited by him was dark and offensive, and appeared to have been swallowed from the cesspool. In my opinion he certainly died from the e ff ects of fall ing into the cesspool. The late master threatened me with violence on the 16th or 17th of September last. He said he would wring my nom, and I at once applied for a sum mons against him, the moult of which was that he was bound over to keep the pease. An investigation took place in reference to the master's conduct on the 4th of July by order of the Poor-law Board. Mr. Smith kiroduced• letter from the Poor-law Board, dated July %, 1867, which was here read. It related to a charge of improper intimacy on the part of the master with one of the paupers named Ann Stubble., which re sulted in her giving birth to a child in the Windsor work house. The Poor-law Board required the immediate re signation of Mr. Sargent, the master. Examination continued—After my first taking office I confined myself to making verbal requisitions to the muter, which were not always attended to They were certainly not satisfactorily attended to. It was in conse , quence of this that I hit upon the plan of entering them in the medical book, under the head "Remarks." The several entries in the medical book produced, containing various applications to the guardians, were written by me. Some of these applications were granted by the board. The supply of milk to the inmates has always been a vexed question, and the nurse has complained that skim milk was often used for the children instead of new, and that the rice was boiled in water. I made no representation of this to the guardians, *ant to the master, and I never afterwards heard any complaint reepecting the milk. I once reported that the wine was not of such good quality as I could wish, and it was remedied for a short time. The constant complaint was that it was merely wine and water, but this was a matter which neither I nor the guardians could remedy, ea the wine passed through so many hands. The medical appliances required by me were duly applied. About March, 1866, the witness went on to my, he at tended before the guardians, and it was then suggested by the master that his reports should be made verbally, and not eirered in the medical book. He refused to adopt that course, having no confidence in the master, and the guardians directed that a separate book should be pro vided, on one side of which the report cf the medical officer should be entered, and on the opposite aide the master's observations. Numerous and important requisi tions were entered in this book, but witness bad not seen it since about February last, when it was in the master's office. One of these requisitions was for a fire-guard for the laundry stove. This was not put there, and about July or August last a child of one of the inmates followed her mother into the laundry and placed both its hands against the stove, burning them very severely. The mother obtained her discharge in the hopping time before the wounds were healed, and on returning to the house the right hand was contracted, and the child ruined for life. If the requisition had been attended to this accident could not have All occurred. the other requisitions were small. Witness resumed making his representations in the medical book, as there was so much squabbling between the officers, and he abstained from going into the office where the other book was kept. The master very often used abusive language to him. Fifteen additional entries of unimportant things up to September last were all supplied. The witness then con tinued. When I first took office, in 1864, the females did not wear night dreams ; they were subsequently intro duced at the instance of one of the guardians. There are no stomach warmers in the house now, and I have never applied for them. I have observed that the water closets woolly smelt badly, but on some occasions they are much cleaner than others. Bouts or oboes are supplied to the paupers by the guardians, but it is a fact that the majority of the male inmates have worn their own boots, and the master has told me that he had the discretion of allowing them to do so if they wished. On my next visit I found that all the men requiring them in the infirmary bad been supplied with slippers or shoes. I have often seen vermin in the heads of adult patients after they had been in the infirmary for some time. The infirmary was very dirty when the Lancet commissioners went over it on the 12th of O,.tober, but it is now as clean as soap, soda, and labour can make it. The inquiry was again adjourned.

The market has been fully as languid today as on Tuesday, and the tone of feeling is one of feebleness sad divatisfac. tion. In shipping yarns sellers have exwi. awed much difficulty in making sales, and such as have made show much irregularity as regards price. The demand has been limited for all markets. Spinners of favourite yarns from good cotton are well under contracts placed some time back, and this class of yarns hardly betrays so muck weakness as commoner descnptions. For the home trade yarns have also been quiet, with very little business offer. I mg. Spinners have been willing in many instances to accept rather over id. per lb. decline as compared with Tuesday, but even this concession fails to tempt buyer. The cloth market has continued in a very depressed state since Tuesday, and prices are decidetUy lower. Many manufacturers are running out of contract, so that the competition for business is keener, but the business effected to-day has been sinalL Sellers of shirting, have in some instance, been willing to accept a decline of 3d, per piece. There is • very gloomy and uneasy feeling in the market, especially among commercial firms connected with the India trade. This feeling is rather of • vague character, and arises more from fear caused by a know. ledge that the losses there have been, like those here, very considerable through the great depreciation going on in cotton goods for many months past, than from any psi. five knowledge of danger or disaster.

HU !BON'S BAY COMPANY. —The report of the governor and committee to the shareholder previous to the general meeting, on the 19th inst., has been issued. It states that the returns of the year promise to be satisfactory, so far as the quantity of furs is concerned, although a partial falling off has taken place in martens. and although a large portion of the returns from Mackenzie's River has not been forwarded. As is generally the case where one species of fur is deficient another is more abundant than usual. The ships which sailed for Hudson's Bay in June last have returned in safety, having delivered their cargoes, outward and home- ward, in good order. The attempt made by the committee to re•open the trade with the Esquimau', north of Churchill, and to profit in some degree by the whale fishing, has not been successful. The present condition of commercial affairs in the City has not been favourable for the sale of the property in Fenchurch-street, on such terms as the committee are prepared to accept. The de. pression in Vancouver's Island and British Columbia still continues, and the unsettled state of the question of the capital of the united colony has a tendency to augment it. The committee believe, however, that they have placed their business, there on a sounder footing, and will continue to take measures for reducing the expenses incurred on the West Coast of America, so far as is compatible with maintaining the commercial position of the company. The accidental discovery of a new " digging," and the influx of population, or an increase in the trade of the coast consequent on the occupation of Russian America by the United States, may at any moment create a demand for goods far exceeding that which existed previously, and largely augment the profits of those merchants who are prepared to meet the new call. In Rupert's Lind itself, ac cording to information received from more than one quarter, symptoms of a disposition to settle arelvisible, and this feet makes the committee the more anxious for a speedy conclusion of the questions pending between the company and her Majesty's government. At this time, however, they are without any information on this sub ject beyond that which has already been communicated to the shareholders. The commission on the claims of the company against the United States of America he we be lieve, at the present moment in session at Washington. Although the rates at which the furs were sold ie the autumn were somewhat lower than those obtained in the Bring, yet looking to the returns on hand, the governor and committee think themselves justified in recommending that the usual interim dividend of Bs. per share should be paid in January.
