Drama. Dt:URY•L%NF. When Ahlr'N'th Nan represented at this house last season. the manager very liberally gave Miss Amy Stag wick t h e opportunity ui perfortokigly Macbeth, and, last night, when the tragedy W:l9 riolu revived, the same opportunity was given, with equal liberality, to Mrs. 110 .)ha. .4 perfuait.e.'. this character before in Loudon, and her reputation has been made in parts requiring a greater exhibition of feminine :softness. she is deficient in many of the physical requisites for a great tragic, actress, and, like Miss Helen Faucit, who represented the same character at the same theatre. her strength is chieey shown in the more tender portion of Lady Macbeth'., character—in the gradually increasing remorse and sorrow after the murder of Duncan. and in the sleep-walking scene. Mr. Phelps plays Macbeth three nights a week, and Mr. Barry Sullivan plays it the other three nights, and the tragedy is placed on the stage with all the scenic and vocal accessories that distinguished its production in former seasons under the same management. OLYMPIC. Without any announcement calculate,' to catch the eye of the ordinary playgoer, a new comedian, named Mr. 11. tto'.4ou, made his first appearance at this house last night in s farce called T.' , c Teco Pad , The farce is a slight adaptation by Mr. M. Morton, and the actor is a mature actor of eccentric old men, with evident stage eametienee, ouch of it having been gained in Liverpool. ADELPHI. An adaptation of M. E. Thiboust's L'iloentite West pas Parfait was produced at this house last night under the somewhat sprawling title of Man is no! Perfect am Wanow Neither, with Mr. G. Belmere and Mrs. Alfred Mellon in the two principal characters. The adaptation in neat sad effective, one or two vulgarisms being excepted, and the adapter, we believe, is Mr. Ben jamin Webster. The piece 11.,s been " done into English" before by Mr. Clement Scott for Mr. J. L Toole, bat hu never been performed in London. It is full of practical fun—so full that two chairs, one house broom, and one (he's coat are destroyed Of mutilated in the course of the action; but it Las sufficient character, humour, and pathos to °minter balance this rude pantomime. The two add character.. in the English venial' are a carpenter, represented by Mr. G. Belmore, and bin wife—the keeper of a print-shop—repre- sented by Mrs. Alfred Mellott. To justify the title. a love letter, written by a barmaid to the carpenter, is disco vered by his wife, and the whole merit of the piece lies in the subsequent quarrel which takes place—the threatened separation. and the ultimate reconciliation. Mr. G. Delmore acts with admirable force, fun, and pathos as the erring but repentant carpenter—sometimes brutal, sometimes affectionate. Mrs. Alfred Mellon is excellent as the wife, lively, pettish, and intensely natural, wanting only a little ter pantomimic activity to make her perfect. The piece was warmly received, and with much condensation in the early part ought to prove successful. Mr. Benjamin Webster Las revived his popular little drama of One T.uch of Nature, in which be performs his original character of Penholder in the middle of the evening, and the entertain ments now conclude with The . S , hort far Tiyers. HAYIWtKET. An 4.1 fr;end (from the French) with a new face, was produced at this house last night, under the title of Tlc Winuin•) Card—a one act comedietta that depends upon the dry hutuour of Mr. Compton and one of those tasteful set-scenes that the eye never tires to look upon. A revival of l'eu Ltty., in Danger might have answered the puritose of the manaivalent as well, but Mr. Buckstone probably knows his own business best. Mrs. Scott•Siddons has cen eluded her engagement at this house, and Miss Amy Sedgwick h.ut returned, and appears in 77 , c Unequal Matra. CRYSTAL PALACZ.—A display of fireworks and 1 illumination of fountains on a grand scale will be given to-morrow evening ; the company . * orchestral band and the band of the Coldstream Guards will perform during the afternoon ; the Arab troupe, now at the palace, will give one of their representations after the display. The palace will be illuminated until half-past e. POLYTEIIINIC INSTITUTION.-1R addition to the usual attractive entertainments of this popular and in strinitive place of amusement, a new aeries of dissolving views we. introduced yesterday evening. The object was to illustrate Praed• well known poem of " Lurley," and in the hands of such artists as Messrs. Hills and O'Connor it is almost needless to say that full justice was done to the varied beauties of Rhine scenery, through which the action of tLe poem passe.. The recitation of the poem by Mr. Millard was much approved of, and the music, in which bliss Reeves sustained the principal part, elicited loud and general applause. Of the other principal feature of the evening's entertainment, the lecture by the professor himself on the French Exhibition, too much cannot be said in the way of commendation. Taken together. the leetere and the views, they are nearly as good as a good view it the Exhibition itself, and they are certainly mash better than • bad or hasty one. Mr. Pepper stated sow startling facts as to the successful contests which French at..l Re!gian houses were waging with English essaufactuters in the production of locomotives, and *then of the more ponderous productions of industrial art ; but at the same time noted, as a curious contra diction, that London goldsmiths were not unlikely to steal a march on the French in what has hitherto been looked upon as • Parisian specialty. In illustrating this, he exhibited some magnified photographs of machine-made gold bracelet., brooches, Ste., from the atelier of a firm in London, the excellent designs and artistic workmanship of which *tuned to take the audience quite by aurpriao. In other parts of the building the electrical piano electrified the company, and the automatic Leotard far surpassed the real one in the daring character of his exploits. PNEFARINO FOR A PRIN , E.—The expected vilkit of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh bas been the prevailing topic of ooneersation for the list month. The pearde of Adelaide, which city is the first on the visiting list, are in great excitement, and every day brings tiding. of some fresh project for the entertainment of the ulnae. In Melbourne, and Victoria generally, the same interest is felt, and nothing tut bslls, illuminations , fetes, regatta., rand reviews are talked of on all sides- A sum of ]MOD,. has been voted by the Assembly to defray the ex penses of the public entertainments to be given in Mel bomoie, and great }.reparations are being made to do ho nour to the royal visitor. His Excellency Sir Henry , Blau. ners Sutton is effecting considerable enlargements in Go vernment-house, where his royal highness will stay during his Tint to the city. A public ball is to be given in the Exhibition-Mating, and the members of the Melbourne Club also propose to expend a considerable sum in an entertainment of like character. The front of the Treasury.huildings is being improved by material additions to the entrance and portico, and a general review of volunteers, together with a regatta on a large scale by the shipping interest of Sandridge, are talked of. Advertisements for transparencies, stars, and illuminated designs ore put forth on all sides, and the most strenuous efforts are being made to do justice to the "queen city of the south." The perks and public reserves swarm with gardeners and workmen, who are continually pLinting, treasplaoting, and improving, and each mail from up. country districts brings fresh tidings of the increasing ex citement. In Geelong, Mendip, Sandhurst, and Castle maine numerous projects are being canvassed ; hut Ballarat —the mining metropolis of Victoria—is the meet enthu siastic of all. A banquet on a gigantic scale, a triumphal arch in each of the boroughs, and a regatta at Lake Lear month being onion the list of entertainments. It is also reported that a patriotic gentleman, Mr. John Winter, has offered to contribute MO/. towards the formation of a Highland brigade for the purpose of welcoming his royal linus in Scottish fashion. Ties prince is not expected to arrive in the colony before the end of November, and by the next outgoing mail we shall doubtless bare occasion to speak of more particular and special preparation, the present torrent of suggestions having become a little law violent, and tending to some snare definite result.—.lld bourne Aron , . Aug. 27. AN INTERNATIONAL PRESENT.—The National Walnut Institution has decided to present the fine life boat, 33 feet long, its transporting earring. and full equip ment of stores (which have been exhibited since May but at the International Industrial Exhibition at Paris), to the French Shipwreck and Lifeboat Society. It is probable the lifeboat will be stationed at Calisic a city which, besides being visited by many French and English vessels, is also one of the great ports of interomumunication be tween the two countries. It may lo &illicit that the Em press Eugenie is the patios of the French Lifeboat Society, and it is but a few days since that the Briti.h public were startled by the intelligence that the Empress and the Prince Imperial had unfortunately nearly lost their lives by drowning oa the coast of France. The pilot in charge of the yacht's boat unhappily perished in his noble and successful attempt to save the life of the Empress and the Prince on the oesnsion. Osparttnir Inttnigentt. TATTERSALL'B.-MONDAY. The Ceaarewiteh settling passed off satisfactorily. There may have been isolated oases of asking for time, but the percentage of money unpaid upon that receivable was Qom. paratively small. Notwithstanding the time that was absorbed in the adjustment of accounts, there was a great deal of betting, several horses being supported for the Cambri.leeshire with wonderful spirit. Honesty was the favoarite, but he was out mecca for any large aumouut at money; bookmakers would lay no more than a to 1, and at these odds some small investments were made, which would have been increased had oto I been obtainable. But, under any circumstances, there was no very great de sire manifested to back the Dike of Hiunilton's colt. Meanwhile his stable companion, Julius, was moderately befriended, but the real state of the case seemed to be that backers were in doubt as to which was likely to be the right one, and so they were afraid to back either for much. Knight of the Garter was in great force; he was several times invested upon at 100 to 7 and 100 to $, and just at the finish 1,000 to 80 was accepted three times. Acta:a was substantially, although quietly supported. 1,000 to 70 was laid twice, .500 to 35 three or four times, and any number of 100's to 7, this price in the end being no longer forthcoming. Friponnier and Wroughton were also in fair request at 100 to 7 each, but of those men tioned it ma here be noted that Knight of the Garter, Actea, and Wroughton are apparently three of the most genuine horses that ever figured in the betting. The second rank was headed by Lozenge, about whom 22 to 1 was taken kindly to a fair amount of money, and Attack colt, after finding a supporter at 3,000 to 100, was backed at 30 to 1. Valorous and Ammunition came next, 1000 to 30 being taken three or four times about each. lllinkhoolie, against whom as little as 20 to 1 was at one time laid, declined subsequently to the outside figure of -10 to 1, which was laid to .501. At 1001/ to 15 the Duke of York met with occasional support, and 500 to 5 was taken about Archimedes. The owner of Captain Kidd backed his horse to win 3,0001. at the small outlay of 50/., and for a like investment Leases was supported to win 10,0001. We did not bear any betting on the Derby, and a long and busy afternoon came to a close with the under mentioned results. A great im, rovement has been effected in the room by the substitution of an alphabetically arranged list of the accounts to be settled by deputy and those who settle them. Formerly this important 'sive , !nation was made known by attaching small slips of paper to the notice board, which altogether gave an infinity of trouble, and occasioned a great loss of time.

After a great portion of the very heavy settling had been got through at the club". speculators turned their attention to wagering. The Cambridgeshire formed the centre of attraction, and the betting was not only heavy, but took a wide range. Honesty continued brat favourite, but he went rather shiftily, for after 7 to 1 bad been accepted, 800 to 100 was hid, and for some time these odds were offered ; towards the close, however, his friends showed more confidence, and be left off at Bto 1 taken. Julius, although not backed for much, was second favourite; 500 to 40, 100 to 8 several times, and ten fifties, " with a start," representing the business done in his favour. Wroughton was agiun made the medium of some first-rate investments, and in the course of the morning must have been supported to win close upon 10,0001. Knight of the Garter ism' in fair demand at 1,000 to GO and 100 to 6, while Friponnier, for small amounts, was laid against at a point less. Dlinkhoolle had would-be supporters at 20 to 1, hut layers offered no more than 25 to 1. Ammunition found friends at 1,000 to 30 two or three times, and 100 to 3 in several direc tions. In the °ours° of the morning Thalia was brought into the betting, and after 50 to 1 had been laid to 200/. or 3001., 40 to 1 wag accepted. Archimedes was also backed at 1,000 to 15 and 1,000 to 12, and Proserpineat 1,000 tols. The morning's business concluded with the backing of the Duchess, whom one speculator supported at 5,000 toso and 5,000 to 75. Several bets as to horses starting, Sm., were made, and will be found appended to the following quota. done : THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1867. CAMBLIDOMIIIItE.

CUILDHALL Susan Wiloan, Manea relL;rll,,;rid Maria Barnes were charged with refusing to do their allotted amount of work at the casual ward of the West London Union, after having had supper, bed, and breakfast there. Hugh Miller Dunnet said he was master of the casual ward of the West Loudon Union, in Robinhood-court, Shoe-lane. On Sunday night the prisoners came to the ward together :ihout 11 o'clock, and asked for a bed. He admitted them, and gave them each a pint of gruel and six ounces of bread for supper, and the same quantity for breakfast next morning. After breakfast he gave them each a pound of oakum to pick, which they could easily have done in two hours and a half or three hours. They did about half a pound between them, and then they re fused to do any more, and began singing and creating a disturbance in the room. He told them he could not allow such conduct, and threatened to send for the police, upon which they became more violent, and offered to strike the nurse. He had known the prisoners for the last twelve months as casuals. They always came together, and knew their duty perfectly well. The prisoners, who treated the matter with great levity, were committed for 21 days' imprisonment, with hard labour. Gr.,rne Green 41, William Jones, 17, and John Mac hurnr, 17, all described on the charge-sheet as labourers without any home, were placed at the bar before Alder man Bailey, charged with maliciously breaking two panes of plate glass in the Guildhall Coffee-house, the value of which was 134 John Thomas Ford, head waiter at the Guildhall Coffee house, said he was called to the outside of the house on Saturday evening, about 20 minutes to 7 o'clock, by • page, who told him that some of the windows had been broken. He went outside and found that two large plate Ow windows had been broken on the King -street front of the house, the value of which was HI. The prisoners were standing with their backs to the church (which was opposite the house) and their faces towards the broken windows. He went over to them with a constable, and he Wed them how lona they had been standing there, and if they had seen anybody break the windows, and the answer was, " Why we did it." The prisoners had nothing to say in defence, but that they were in London, hard up, had nothing, and wanted to be taken up. Alderman Bailey said he considered them dangerous characters, and must take care of them for a time. He then sentenced them each to two calendar months' im prisonment, with hard labour. Milian Henry Daniel, draper's assistant, 130, Holborn lull, was placed at the bar before Alderman Beeley, charged with assaulting the complainant by kicking hint on the nose with his foot. I The evidence in this case was very con fl icting, but from 'what was said it appeared that for nearly 30 years past it has been the custom for a number of Welshmen resident in London to meet on Sunday evenings at the Black Bull, on Holborn-hill, and over their pipe and glass to converse about their own local nowa. Latterly, however, the land lord hal allowed certain members of the Reform League to give lectures there on Sunday evenings, on various sub. jects, political and social, upon the conclusion of which discussions ensued upon the principles enunciated by the lecturer. The Welshmen, having had the use of the room for 30 years for their quiet Sunday evenings meetings and conversations, seemed to feel that they bad a prescriptive right to their innocent enjoyment, and when the members of the Reform League came to encroach, as it were, upon their prerogative, they felt exceedingly annoyed, and showed their anger at having their conversations interrupted b speeches in which they took no interest in a very unmistakable manner. The members of the Reform League retorted by calling them thick.headed Welshmen, and making remarks exceedingly derogatory to their country, upon which the Welshmen began to hiss, and it resulted in a general tumult, in which the Welabuen were ejected from the premises with considerable damage to their wearing apparel, and some damage was done on the other aide, for which the prisoner was given into custody. The complainant was /Kr. James Trinott, a shoemaker, living at 12, Bell-court, Gray's inn -road, and he stated that he went to the Black Bull on the previous even ing to hear a lecture on emigration, and afterwards to bear the discussion on it. The gentleman rose up to give the lecture, when the Welshmen said they had had the room for 15 years, and they would have it still, and no one should give lectures there. The landlord came in and said they must be quiet or leave. The prisoner was the leader, and he told him be had better take the advice that had been given him end go. He was at the time standing on one of the forms, and he kicked complainant on the nose and made it bleed. The prisoner than left the room, but returned shortly after with three policemen, whom be had brought to give the complainant into cus tody, but he was given into custody instead. After hearing other evidence, Alderman Beaky said be believed that the assault had been committed, and he should fine him 20s. and costs. The fine wee paid. CLERKENWELL. John Daley, aged :fO, tailor , of Did. ton-street, St. Luke's, was charged with violently wault ting Diary Daley, his wife, and throwing her out of the first door window. _ _ Mr. H. Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate Insti tute for Imrovuig and Enforcing the Laws for the Pro tection of II omen, watched the case. Police-constable Andrew Lawson, 170 0, said that that morning, between the hours of one and two, he heard screams of " Murder," and on going to Camden-court he found the wife of the defendant sitting on the doorstep, apparently ingreat pain. She told him that herhueband had assaulted her and had thrown her out of the window. He searched the house and found the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, under the bed, and when be told him the charge he said he had not done it. The woman was led to the police-station, and the divisional surgeon stated that her back and shoulder were injured. The wife was not now in attendance, but he did not know whether she had bees kept away or was too ill to attend. The defendant said that when he went home he found his wife the worse for liquor. He spoke to her, on which she got out of bed and broke a window. Knowing that she was very violent when she was in that state, he went down into the street, and when he got there he found his wife there, she having either fell or thrown herself from the window. Mr. Barker said there was no evidence against the de. fondant, and he would be discharged. If the wife liked to proceed against him by summons she could. MARLBOIR )UGH STREET. Robert Smith, describing himself ss a butcher, and lately keeping a beerrhop at No. 11, Newport-court, Newport. market, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged with selling beer before the hour of ono o'clock in the afternoon of the `-'-'nd Sept, and also with permitting drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the house. Sergeant - Horsey,6 C, said—At a quarter before 12 on the morning of Sunday, the 2 2 nd of last month, in company with a constable, I visited a beershop kept by the defen dant at No. 11, Newport-court, Newport-market. I knocked at the door, and some one inside said, " Who's there?" I said, " Police." I then heard a bolt put on the door, and some one say, " Keep them out, and clear away." I knocked several times, but received no answer. At last the door was open'ed, and I walked into the par lour. lam two earthenware jugs—pewter pots cot being used at the house—one of them half full, and the other having a quantity of malt liquor in it. The defen dant went behind the counter, and plaited • jug there, and on my asking him what it wail, be said a little beer for himself. I asked the defendant if he was the proprietor of the place, and ho said he was. In the parlour, • room nine feet square, there wore thirteen men and two women. I told the defendant that some of the persons did not appear to be sober, and that I should have to tarn them out. One of the persons was so drunk that be had to hold by the door to let himself out. One of the women got up to leave, and on the door I found a jug which had contained beer, but which had been concealed by her dress while sitting down. The defendant asked me to look over it, saying that he would have his name painted out and give up the beer trade, and open the place as a respectable shop. The woman I have spoken of was also drunk. I visited the house again with Sergeant Home, and found one man and three women there—the same woman I had seen before and two others, one of whom was also drunk. The defendant spoke to one of the women, who told him to " Shut up, or she would round upon him." Tyrwhitt—How long has the defendant kept the place?? Sergeant Horsey—About three years. 'served two sum monses on the defendant, one for opening hisbouse before the proper time, and the other for permitting drunken ness ; but he never attended. He said he was not the pro prietor, but I advised him to attend. The Defendant—Why I did not appear was because I was acting as the agent for another. Sergeant Honey—l have seen the defendant at the place for the last year managing the business and representing himself as the proprietor. Sergeant Bunce, SC, said—l know the defendant well. I had occasion some months ago to go to the defendant's house. It was full of thieves, and brut always been a terror to the neighbourhood, being conducted in a very had manner. The defendant then told rue he was going to give up the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l have not the slightest moral doubt about the defendant being the proprietor of the place. Sergeant Bunce—On the day the summonses werefixed for hearing they were put off owing to the defendant re. presenting that he was very ill, but I saw him the same day. He was in better health than now. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall fine the defendant 50e. for each offence, and I consider the sooner the defendant gives up the place the better. THAMES. _ Daniel da Silra, a wan of colour, the steward of the ship Eliza Shaw, lying in the West India Dock, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing two bottles of champagne, a bottle of brandy, a bottle of gin, a bottle of sherry. two tins of sardines, a bottle of mustard, a bottle of pepper, a knife, a pistol, six pounds of candles, • tablecloth, 15 dessert spoons, three teaspoons, and four table forks. On Saturday afternoon the prisoner made his appearance at the import entrance of the West India Dock, with his chest, bed, and bedding. He said he was from the Eliza Shaw, a China ship lying in the West India Dock, and pro duced a pass front his captain. Joseph Clitsver.e. constable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, overhauled the chest, in which he found the above-men- tioned property, and also found 41lb. of contraband tobacco on the prisoner's person. The prisoner said he came from the ElicaShaw, and that all the property belonged to him. Cleaver detained him, and made inquiries. The result proved the falsity of the prisoner's statement. Captain John Steel, the ni,ter of the ship Eliza Shaw, stated that the whole of the property belonged to him. He had IS pistols with knives attached, like the one produced, when he sailed from England for China. He mired five of then, when the voyage terminated. Mr. Benson—Are the rest of the things your property, or the property of the ship' Captain Steel—The property of the ship. The steward had the use of all the things, and great confidence was placed in him. There was brandy on board similar to thin. The Prisoner—l Own lam guilty. lam lorry for what I have done. Captain Steel very humanely recommended the prisoner to mercy. The prisoner could not be more sorry than he was. lie had been a good and faithful steward on the voyage, and had proved unfaithful at last. He did not expect this of the prisoner. Mr. Benson—He has stolen a large quantity of property, and he ought to be committed for trial for this robbery. Captain Steel earnestly appealed to the magistrate not to commit the prisoner for tnsL The Prisoner—l will pay for the Mr. Benson—No ; that cannot C d allowed. You have committed a very serious robbery, and if you had not been strongly recommended to mercy you would have been ann. mitted for trial, and then you would have been sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. I convict you of the un- lawful possession of the goods, and sentence you to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. PROPOSED WORKING HEN'S INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, Last evening a crowded public meeting was held in the Vestry Hall, St. Pancras, for the purpose of con sidering the best means of promoting a Working Men's International Exhibition in London. The chair was taken by the Hon. AUBIRON HERBICRT. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said there as had been, they were aware, several exhibitions among different nations by employee, and they now wished to see if they could not have a general international ex hibition by working men. He thought he should fully express the feelings of the meeting when he said that they were extremely glad there had been exhibitions by employers. (Hear, bear.) It wen very right that men who by their spirit and capital directed and organised the labour of working men should have an opportunity of competing with each other, but he thought it was now the time for the working men of different countries to be brought together to compete personally—one against the other. (Hear, hear.) In the present day the historian of betties did not speak so much of the personal prowess of the men engaged as of what the generals in command did. It was not so of old, when Homer sung of the personal con flicts between warrior and warrior ; and so now, in the contest of industry, they wanted not to see the account of the battles of the employers, but those of the working men. (Hear, hear.) If they looked back to the middle ages they would find that labour was much more individualised than it cow was. He in- st;ceZlihe;se of Mr . lluskin , when the Oxford Museum was building, getting the workmen who were carving the capitals of the columns to follow each his own fancy. The result was some very beautiful work, and the name of each workman was placed underneath his handicraft. He was quite sure that if labour was more individualised it would be made • great pleasure to them. Labour to a MAD whose name went forth with his work became to him • joy, a pleasure, he might even say a poem. But there was a more solid benefit to be derived from individualising labour. Sub-division of labour had been carried to • great extent in this country, and he was not going to say • word against it, because in the present state of the world they could not compete without it ; but he could not conceal from himself that there was harm in it as well as good. He thought that sometime, they got perfect work by this sub-division of labour, whilst they sacrificed the workman himself. (Hear, bear.) He thought that to • certain extent it impaired the general intelligence of the working climes ; and there could be no doubt that, with respect to some of the minute sub divisions of labour, should taste or fashion change suddenly, the workman might be thrown out of employment, and suffer severely by the change. That was obviated in America by men learning the different branches of • busi ness. There could be no doubt that exhibitions like the one proposed made men acquainted with a great deal of work unconnected with their own special departments. He wished to call the attention of the meeting to the patent laws. He did not think the patent laws as they stood at present were favourable to invention. (Hear, hear.) He thought it possible that such an exhibition as that proposed might be of great use in this direction. Supporting the exhibition was success fully carried out, it would be quite possible hereafter to establish • standing museum which would give protection to any man who had invented an improvement and chosen to exhibit his invention in that museum. (Hear. hear.) The protection might be given to him for a period of 12 months, during which time he would have the advantage of exhibiting his invention, and at the end of that time he might either sell it or take out • patent. (Hear, hear.) There was a similar protection given to industrial exhibi tions, but he could not help thinking that from the proposed exhibition there might be established a perms nent exhibition which would help inventors and protect them much more effectually than they were helped lor protected at present. (Hear, hear.) In wishing labour to be individualised as it was in Prance and in Italy, and to see • greater number of working men carrying on business on their own account, he did not wish to say one word against the large firms of England. Those large firms were necessary to the industrial success of this country ; but, just as he did not wish to see England mado up of large estates, but to behold freeholds scattered freely among the people—(hear, hear)—so he did not want to see all large firms in the country, but he wished to wit ness • large number of clever, independent, intelligent working men working on their own account, getting the credit of their work, and having their nausea identified with it. (Applause.) The Secretary (Mr. Ward) then read the report of the committee, by whom the details of the scheme have been planned. The recommendations which it contains respect ' mg the character of the prizes and the system of adjudi cation have already appeared. A resolution in favour of the report having been moved, Mr. Perrzason, of the Working Men's Club and Insti tute Union, asserted that the report as read dill:uteri from that which was agreed to at the meeting of the committee. He expressed his dissatisfaction at the constitution of the previsional committee, and moved as an amendment that the arrangements for the exhibition be undertaken by an honorary council ; that the Hon. Auberon Herbert, Mr. Hamilton Hoare, Mr. Hodgson Pratt, and several work ing men whom he named be members ; that the committee be half composed of guarantors, and that the surplus money be devoted to the founding of a permanent exhibi tion in which working men would receive awards for their skill and recognition for their individual merit. After a stormy discussion the amendment was all but unanimously carried, and • vote of thanks to the chair man closed the proceedings. ROBBERY ON THE NoRTH EASTERN RAILWAY. —A robbery, which is unparalleled from its daring, .and the manner it was e ff ected, was perpetrated on Friday evening on the North Eastern Railway, within six mile. of York. The 7 o'clock train from Melton. Scar borough, and IVlitby left York with the fortnight's pay of the company's officials on the Melton and Whitby and Pickering branch. The money was enclosed in bags and paper parcels, the total amount being, it is said, between NW and 300/. and entrusted to the care of John Livesy, the guard in his van, which was at the end of the train. The lame; proceeded all right until it had arrived within the back signal, which is about 600 yanb from the Strensall station on the Melton and Scarborough branch. The van then earns to a dead stand, as the guard has himself explained, and on looking out of the window he found that the train had left him. He got out of the van and went about 100 yards towards Strensall station for the purpmie of giving • signal to the driver that the train might be brought back and the van attached to it. The money bags and parcels are stated to have been all safe when he left the van, but on returning to it, after he had given the signal, he saw the off-side door opeu, and die covered that a portion of the money had been stolen, pro bably 1501. When the van had been recoupled, and the train had returned to Strensall, Livery reported the rob bery to the station-master. Information was given to the police, and inquiries were instituted, but neither the money nor the persons who had stolen it were discovered. The van had been uncoupled while the train was in motion—a dangerous feat on the part of anyone, and an act which would never have beet attempted by any person unaccustomed to the uncoupling of trains. The evening was particularly favourable for the commission of such a robbery, as a dense fog prevailed at the time, and there was no light except is the van. On Saturday morning Mr. Hawker, the superintendent of police on the North Eastern system, made an investigation into the circumstances attending the affair, the result of which was that he took Livery into custody on suspicion of being connected with the robbery. The prisoner was subse quently brought before Mr. J. R. Walker Li magistrate of the North Riding, in which division of the county the offence was committed), at York, when Mr. Hawker gave a abort statement of the case. On the guard being asked if he had anything to say why he should not be remanded, he stated that he was innocent, and that he did not know anything at all about the robbery. Ho also said he resided at Scarborough, and that he bad been in the company's service since 1863. He was remanded until Wednesday. [Advertisement].

MANCHESTER, Oct. 14. This morning the new batch of prisoners cap tured for participation in the Fenian outrage on the 18th September, when police-sergeant Brett was shot, and two prisoners were rescued from the prison van in Hyde road, were brought before Mr. Fowler, Mr. J. W. Maniere, and other magistrates, at the City Police Court, on remand. Their names aro Daniel Ileddon, Francis Nacnamars, William Joseph Brophy, and James ('Brennan Chambers, The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Talbot, assistant town clerk, in the absence of Mr. W. H. Higgin t counsel for the prosecution. Mr. W. P. Roberts defended the prisoners. Mr. Fowler asked if the prosecutioc intended to offer evidence against Macnamara. Mr. Talbot said they did not. Mr. Fowler directed that he should be discharged. Henry William Slack, a witness who bad given evidence against the prisoners already committed for trial, said— ! have given evidence before in this case. In addition to the persons I before identified, I can speak to the prisoner Basildon. I saw him in the Hyde-road at the attack on the van just in front of the railway arch. He appeared to be giving orders, waving his hands to the men en gaged in the attack. I took him to be • soldier. I saw him there a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes, and he appeared to be taking an active part, but I wee not near enough to hear any of his words. ' By Mr. Roberts—l followed the prison van on an omni bus. I was not driving, but sat on the off side of the driver. When the prison van was stopped it was 20 to 30 yards in front of us. The prisoner was not in front, but at the aide of the van, when it stopped. The men with arms would not let us go further ; they stopped us by pointing pistols at us. I got down, but left the driver on the box. The prisoner had not the blue coat on he has now, but he wore • grey tweed coat. I identified the pri soner at the Albert-street station. I was taken there by a policeman. I saw no other witnesses at the station. John Knowles, grocer, Hyde-road, said—l have given evidence before, and have already identified prisoners who took part in the attack on the van. I also sawthe prisoner Haddon there, but there was some& confusion that I did not see him do anything in particular that I can speak to. I had enough to do to mind myself for a few minutes. I saw Redden amongst the men round the van. By Mr. Roberts—l am not the man who said hie fingers itched for a revolver, but I fired at a man from the wall. I was not a casual observer ; it was too close and danger ous work for casual observers. Kate Riley sworn—l have been examined before. In addition to the prisoners I have before spoken to, Ido not see any one that I can identify as present on that occasion. Hy Mr. Roberts—l have not seen the prisoners before. I was warned on Saturday . by a policeman to be at Albert. street station this morning, and I did not arrive in time. Charles Thomu sworn-1 have been examined before. I see a prisoner in the dock that I did not identify on my former examination. It is the prisoner Reddon. He was throwing stones and taking part in the affray. He threw at the police and people to keep them back. I saw him about the railway arch for two or three hours before the attack on the van. He was loitering about with others. Stoma Halliday sworn—l have been examined before. I do not see any one here that was in the attack on the van. Correcting herself suddenly, the witness added " Oh, yes, I saw that prisoner (Reddon) there. He was throwing stones." Thomas Perry sworn—l have given evidence before, and I now identify Redden. I saw him running across the Midland Railway yard with others after the attack was over, towards Ashton•road. Some one with him told me there had been a prise-fight, and seeing they wanted to cross the wall, I told them they would get over easier by going further down. By Mr. Roberts—l noticed the boots he wore. They had red tope. The prisoner's boots were ordered to be taken off, and being shown to witness he said—Those are the boots, or if not, are exactly like those he wore at the time. I am certain he is the man. He came close to me. George Pickup sworn—l have given evidence in this cue before. I see among the prisoners the prisoner Cham bers, whom I now identify ea taking part in the attack on the van. I saw him throwing stones and keeping people back. By Mr. Roberta—He was behind the van and throwing stones through the arch. William Trueman, policeman (a former witness), said— I identify the prisoner Chambers as taking part in the attack on the prison van. He was on the embankment beyond the arch throwing stones at the police when I first saw him. I was his by a stone and saw him throw it. The stone was as big as my two fists. It hit me on the back and nearly knocked me down. I also saw him ham mering at the van door with big stones. I saw him first since the attack last Friday night in a beerhouse at Liver pool, and I then recognised the man. I went out and spoke to some detectives, and he was taken into custody. By Mr. Fowler—l am the man who took Brett to the in firmary. I did not see him when be died. Mr. Fowler said it would be desirable to have the surgeon present from the infirmary who saw Brett die, and a messenger was despatched for him. Medwin Sherriff, who had not previously given evidence, said—l am a carver and mason, living at Gorton. On the 18th September last I had finished my work, and was going home at 4 o'clock. At the railway arch I was stopped by some men who were armed with revolvers, and who would not let me go through the arch. I saw the prisoner Chambers there. He was throwing stones at me and a policeman close to my side. He hit the constable in the back. It was the last witness, Trneman. I also saw him striking the van with stones. Ellen Cooper, a former witness, being asked if she could identify any of the prisoners, said, " Yes,that middle man, with beard and moustache (William Brophy). He was throwing stones at the police to keep them back." By Mr. Roberts—l was in the prison van, and all I saw of the prisoner Brophy was when I came out. John Beck (a witness before) said he could identify Brophy. I saw him banding stones up to a man on the van. They were large stones. The man he handed them to was Larkin. I also saw the prisoner throwing stones at the civilians and policemen. Police-sergeant Ton said be took Brophy and Chambers into custody at a beerhouse in Haddingtemstreet, Liver pool, on Friday night last. Mr. Woodcock house-surgeon at the infirmary, having been sworn , had his previous examination read over in presence of prisoners, proving the death of Sergeant Brett from a pistol shot wound. Mr. Talbot—That is the case. Mr. Roberta said before he called any witnesses for the defence—for he was prepared to prove an alibi for Redden— he wished to apply for en adjournment of the ease till Thursday, to give time to obtain witnesses from LiverpooL He was bound to assume that the witnesses had spoken what they believed to be the truth, but such persons ware liable to be mistaken in the identity of men whom they could have had but a brief opportunity of seeing at the attack, and amidst great confusion. He wished to have a remand to get witnesses for Brophy and Chambers from Liverpool. Brophy—l was working all day. Mr. Fowler—Where! Brophy—ln Liverpool, at Mr. Wm. Blainee and Sons. Chambers said he was not in work, but he could prove he was in Liverpool the whole of the day. Mr. Fowler said be would adjourn the defence for Brophy and Chambers, but Mr. Roberta had better pro duce his witnesses for Reddon. Diary M'Keone said she remembered the 18th of Sep tember, and bearing of the attack on the van. The pri soner Reddon was lodging with her in Newton-street. He was only out from half•paet three that day till not quite 10 minutes past four. He then went to hod, having been drinking. He got up again at half-past 141 C and went out with two other lodgers. By Mr. Talbot—The prisoner lodged with me six or seven weeks ; the other two lodgers were Keely, a painter, and his brother James. Hannah Maria Wright, a lodger with last with witness, said she remembered the day of the attack on the prison van. The prisoner Iteddon was in and out of the house that day till half•past three, and then he was away till ten minutes past four. By Mr. Torr—Her husband is a plasterer, and works for Mr. Simmons of Victoria-park. Esther Williams said she was at Mrs. WlCeone's house on the day of the attack, and saw the prisoner Iteddon in the house all day. He was intoxicated. lie went to bed about half-past four. Witness was making a dress for Mrs. M'Keone, who is her sistrr. By Mr. Fowler—Heard of the attack on the van that day at half-put 6. By Mr. Talbot—The prisoner lodge! at my sister's till a week after the 16th, and has since been at Liverpool. L.twrence Mulloy, tailor, said he lives in Willoughby's court. He knows Heddon, and saw him at his lodgings. Saw him at 2 o'clock going out of the house, and saw him going into the house at five minutes put 4. John Shannon said he remembered the outrage, and on that day ho saw iteddon in Anooats.lane. It was as near 4 o'clock as he could judge. He passed him in the street. These being all the witnesses for the defence, Mr. Fowler said, with reference to evidence for the defence of the other prisoners, it would be very inoon venient, but he must grant Mr. Roberts's application ; and he accordingly remanded the prisoners till M ednesday.

THE EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIFE AT WOOL KIM —Yesterday morning Mr. Cutter, the coroner, held an investigation at the Royal Oak Tavern, Woolwich, into the circumstances of the explosion in the No. 6 shed of the lower laboratory in Woolwich Arsenal, by which Henry Thomas Welch, aged fourteen years, and three other lads, named John Pigge, Charles Newbey, and Jones Marallyon, lost their lives. In addition to the four above sufferers, eleven other boys who were at work in the laboratory at the time were so seriously injured that th ey now lie in the Woolwich Infirmary in • most deplorable state, and it is feared that the deaths of several of them will take place. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the body. Upon their return the coroner ad journed the inquia. Yesterday afternoon, John Hore, aliaa Keating, a thirteen years, whose parents reside at Samuel-street, eolwich, expired at the Royal Arsenal Infirmary from the effects of injuries received at the late explosion. This makes the fifth victim. - - - CHATHAM, OCT. 14. —ln accordance with orders to that effect, received from the Admiralty, au additional number of shipwrights and other mechanics have been placed on the Trafalgar, 72, sOn-horse power, attached to the stk ant re.erve at tlds port, in order that she may he brought forward for oommission.

Our advice, which speak of the result of harvest will still be of interest. From Weida. shire it was stated " The yield of wheat is decidedly short in this district, but the quality is for the most part good, and unusually sound and dry, and one would think the prices will bring us corn from very remote countries. The rinea throughout advocated the idea of a good crop, this idea being fortified by letters which year by year pro mulgate a state of optimism in agricultural business. Just now, for want of rain, all preparation for wheat is stopped. The is so dry and hand, that it cannot be ploughed (stony district), and of course nobody would think of sowing when the wheat semi would rot and not vege tate. Sharp frosts every night generally precede rain, but none comes—at least, up to the rith instant. Our barleys are highly spoken of ; about here and at Lincoln, grown on cliff-land, that is, on the oolitic forms. tion, are the best in the kingdom." Monday morning proved very wet, with rain up to noon, but the remainder of the day was finer. This moisture will prove very ac ceptable, and start off the plough again. Tuesday was a fine bright morning, after a cold night, with the thermo meter registered down to 38 degrees, but the afternoon was showery Wind Wind N.W., and cold throughout the day. From on that day, our advice. ran thus:— " The weather h as become wild and stormy, but until yesterday there has been for some time no hes fall of rain, and the northern harvest has p rogressed towards a conclusion, while in the southern and midland districts of the kingdom active preparations are being made for autumn sowing." This was corroborated from the East Riding of Yorkshire :—" Weather is fine for the season, and farmers now begin to prepare for autumn sowing." Wednesday morning was fiere, sher a register of 33 degrees the previous night ; but rain satin at noon, and later in the day it was very wet in some parte. From the west coast of Scotland it was remarked : " The weather has been tine ; but to-day rain has set in." From Northumberland our accounts stated " The weather was showery on Saturday and Sunday, but with these exa Mons it has been fine and cold since our last report, with north and north-west winds." Thursday morning was cold, and remained dry up to noon, but was then showery for a short time ; evening fine and bright prognosticating frost. Our advice' from Worcestershire stated " Wea ther changed here on Sunday night, when a good quantity of rain fell, and it has since continued wet. This change was required by the farmers, to enable them to corn menoe autumnal sowing, and also by millers in the country who had experienced short water power." Our advice. from Suffolk remarked :—" Du- ring the past week the weather has been unusually Gold for the season. We have had some rain, but hardly sufficient for full progress with field operations." The early part of the day on Friday was fine, but rain fell a great part of the afternoon. Saturday was thick and foggy, but no rain fell. This week's moisture will prove most seceptable to the farmers, who are uow extremely anxious to plant as much land as possible with wheat, and semi samples are now in great demand. Cbidham white is a great favourite, and price must not be considered any object now, in order to secure the choicest samples. For red, the golden drop ia much wanted, and a great deal of this description baa been taken by the French buyers. Nursery has a run, and is now worth 80a. per qr. if of suitable quality. This variety has generally yielded better than any other since harvest, and is consequently much appreciated—Mori- Lane Brprea.

Yorkshire, the judge, gave a very important decision affecting the seizure of guns by gamekeepers.
