After the ekes of our report es Saturday, Sir J. PAKINGTON entered into explanations of charges made by Mr. Seely in regard to alleged extrava gant expenditure in dockyards, especially in reference to baste, and dated that the boat. for her Majesty's ah3pa were built by eontnut, and repaired in the yards, so that the charge far repair would only appear to be unduly large ; and, in fart, the charge which was attributed to one boat was applinehl• to three. A rum, of 5,0001., which bad been Wd as the coat of the repairs of 83 boats, was, In act, the value of 223 boats after they had been mitred. Kr. SMY admitted that in ens or two instances be had been in error, but on the whole reiterated his charges of undue expenditure for repairs. After some discussion the subject dropped, and The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock. Svarting inttiligenct. MIDSUMMER RACING Di SUSRRY TO THII ROMP. OP Tli/ =PPM& SIR,—" The beet sportsman of any age or country," as Squire °shad - 01ton was formally christened by some of ourlbest men, on the occasion of his resigning the mastership of the Pytchley, passed from among us whilst the fever of the Goodwooa meeting was at its height, leaving another void in the ranks of those old Corinthians who sport for sporting's sake ; and when some of the pima= of his glorious life are conned over by the Young -baders who prostitute the name of " sport" by making a sort of ehandler'eshop trade of one of its most important branches, their consciences must be stung to the quick, unless they are lost to all sense of shame. Good wood wee a profitable week to them, • being prolific of " milked" horses, and gentlemen who bad been " fore stalled" • and those hasty individuals who backed l' a rg i i; on theCi;ps—very foolishly, for the two mysterious literally mean " plunder the public"—had an awful lesson on their want of patience, two of the hottest favourites that were ever made for the Stewards' turning out "safe," whilst their being left in up to the last mo ment raises the suspicion that their parties' motives from the first were none of the purest. However, this is only remiss ; and the heavy losses sustained by some of the vary boss and sinew of the national pastime (for it is the public who help materially to keep it going, after all) over Mrs. Stratton, Gretna, Cedric, Archimedes, Bradamante, Cornball, No, Sarney, Potomac, Othello, Slender, Windham, Janitor, Corsair, Regalia and Gladia teur, who from various causes—not at all disgraceful —did not give them even a run for their money, should deter them from having more to de with p.p. races, which often means nothing more than priming the pockets of those harpies who use racehorses as instruments of even worse than gaming. Taking the meeting altogether, the public and talent eventually bad all the worst of their battle with the bookmakers, who floored them one and all round after round on the last day, and on every big race (except the Goodwood Cup, which was not a big race at all this year) mauled them rather severely. The winners of the three peat ante-post betting races were doubtful starters en the morning of their victories, and it is said Sultan was to have been reserved for the Cambridgeshire and Rama for the Caorewitch had not things turned out as their parties did not anticipate. That both these are good horses I fully believe, whatever may have been thought of them a week ago, until when their performances were not at all recom mendatory. Sultan's was a great triumph for the French pirty, who might just about have won with Plutus had he failed todothe trick ; and there is no doubt about where the Goodwood Cup would have gone had Gladiateur been able to bid for it, as The Duke was not quite up to the mark, and would certainly have been beaten by Tourinalin had they galloped the whole course instead of only about a third of it. The orders given to the latter's tiny jockey lost Baron Rothschild the Cup, for having to wait with the filly he was dead beaten before she began to " go, es she took a deal of holding whilst the pace was so slow, and when it came to a race Fordlnun was enabled to compl etely out-mameuvrePeake. The grandest displays of th e four days were those of Broomielaw and Ostreger, under their heavy weights, in the Chesterfield Cup, and of the latter in a plate, when he was giving the second (a two-year old, it is true) 4st 71b, which fairly established him the sediest horse of the day, barring, of course, the "wonder,"hieve ment, who cleverly sustained her title of The Inv'ncible. That there was a two-year-old at the meeting worthy to be placed anywhere near her is yet doubtful, despite the one great performance of Marksman, who in the Molecomb showed such an improvement on his Findon form that it is hard to say what he really cannot do, when he and those connected with him are In the humour. People, how ever, did not go away from Goodwood impressed with the idea they bad seen the Derby winner ; and the quality of the hones running during the four days, whether they were two, three, or more years old, did not come up to the usual standard, the only three year old race of any importance being that won by the French Auguste, not in the St. Leger. Nor was the meeting exactly like a Goodwood of old in other respects, despite the royal patronage it received, for what with the bad weather (wintry on the first day), and the dreary appearance of that end of the enclosure where the new stand and paddock were formed, old frequenters saw what it may take them some years to get accustomed to, and then not appreciate. Brighton race-course will present a strong array of plea sure-seekers, but of a different clam to that seen at Good wood, as the meeting is looked upon by the working-bees of the Turf circle as their holiday, and the professional betters have so increased in numbers of late years that the stand and balcony are almost monopolised by their families. The sport, again, is somewhat dif ferent to that seen 'at the ducal gathering, notwithstand ing the improvements recently made in the bill of fare, for there are no rich two and three year old stakes to at tract first or second clam horses, and much depends on bow the handicaps take for the success of the sports. The programme holds forth every hope as to these items, the entries fur the Brighton Handicap and the Nursery, and the two plates, being very numerous, and it the accept ances ane only in the same proportion the fields mast be good. Pending the declarations, it would be madness to touch upon the plates ; and in selecting Tomato and Bar ney for the great event, I must make the reservation that one of them shall accept. There are some very fair two year-olds in the Railway Stakes, the Hermit and rri pannier at 9st 21b, Huntsman at fist 131 b, Pirate Chief and Treader° at Set Mb, Captain Kidd at Bst Sib, Knight of the Garter at Bst 71b, and Dick Tondo at Set 21b, being all worth pulling out for the prize ; at the same time we may not see the first named at Brighton or Lewes, and the heavy weights will then lose their best champion here, for I can not suppose Friponnier capable of giving the weight to Captain Kidd, if she can to the Knight. The Cham pagne has a splendid lot of seven entered, and there is every chance of disproving or confirming the idea that Ostmer is the best mile horse out, for he has the Duke (41b extra), Cecrops, Redan, and the Baron's Robin Hood arrayed against him. My opinion is he can beat all the quartet, and Cecrops will do all I expect of him if he can dispose of Augu s te for their Biennial, the Frenchman, if the latiet should succumb, having a chance of winning the second day's Biennial with Trucadt'uo whose third to Friponnier and Bismarck at Goodw ood !oohs better form than either Cannon Ball or Mendrake displayed in their races. The Brighton Cup, two miles, may poodbly recompense the owner of Tounnalin for his Goodwood disappointment, only Tormenter hiving to be feared, and it is not a certainty the is quite herself. The Brighton Club events have all to close, with the ex ception of the two Biennials, which ehould be won by Brims (one and Trocadero respectively, if the "open" meet rng does not bring out a superior to them ; and there are only two of the Lewes races (which wind up the Sussex fortnight on Friday and Saturday) complete as yet. These have both excellent entries, although with h is allowance D'hitournel cannot well lo se the Priory Stakes, whilst I think Ostreger can carry home his Uht for the County Cup. There is only another noteworthy " fixture" this week, Ripon St. Wilfred, which is made for Monday and Tues. day, and here nothing of general interest comes off, the only point the events can settle being whether Hehe (who is nicely in two handicaps) won her rich stake at Goodwood through her own improvement, or her opponents being below mediocrity.—l am, km., METEOR.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENEtiG, !AUGUST t ;-6;1 .18,6; THE CHOLEI:A. On Saturday, Mr. Thomas Foe-ell Buxton, almirman of the house committee of the London Hospital ; Mr. Samuel Gurney, 111. P., vice-president ; Mr. Joseph &bag, a member of the house committee ; and Mr. Wil liam J. Nixon, house governor and secretary, had an in terview, by appointment, with the Lord Mayor, at the Maasion-house, with the view , if possible, to interest, through him. the corporation of the City of London in per ticalar and the citiaems generally, in the present state of the hospital, and the excessive and incresaing demands upon its resources, omsegtrent on the outbreak of cholera 'in the eastern pert. of the metropolis. The Lord Mayor had readily punted the interview, and listened to the statements made by the deputation with the deepest sym pathy and interest. Mr. T. BUXTON said they had given up a third of the hospital, or the whole of one floor, exclusively to cholera pat:irate, and in consequence of it behtg necessary to have one nurse to every three patients they had been obliged to increase their staff of nurses, in addition to superinten dents, many of whom rendered their services gratuitously. The number of patients admitted into the cholera wards from the 10th July to that morning, the 4th August, were 365, of whom 299 were suffering from cholera, and 66 from diarrhea ; of these, 97 had recovered, or 48 from cholera and 49 from diarrhea ; 158 had died from cholera and 8 from diarrhoea, or 166 in all • and 102 remained in the wards, 93 of them afflicted ' with cholera and 9 with diarrhea, very few of whom were convalescent. The number of out patients treated during the same period in the receiving room of the hospital the cases not being severe enough for reception into the establishment, was 6,251, the attendance oa whom involved extra labour and cost. The cholera staff of the hospital con sisted at present of five resident medical officers, 35 day nurses, 35 night nurses, and four men employed by day and two men by night in other departments. The entire expenditure of the establishment had been increased for extra diet and stimulants to an extent beyond all pre vious experience in hospital treatment, including extra issues of wine and brandy to nurses, patients, and la bourers. This year they were to have publicly opened a new wing of the hospital, which they had lately built, and though they had been obliged to forego the intended ceremonial, which would probably have resulted in a burgs addition to the fund. of the hospital, the completion of the new building had been most fortunate and omprtune at this time, when so much additional space was wanted by the extraordinary influx of patients and medical men. It had been perfectly astonishing to witness the seal of the medi cal staff. At first there was a goodsdeal of fear of con tagion, but much of that had been abandoned, and all the authorities of the hospital, with many others, had volun teered their services in the emergency. Two nurses had died, and one was ill now, but the former were extra nurses, and had slit o o e :t green or other where in the neighbourhood of Bethnal re there was cholera, so that the authorities of the hospital hoped the death of the two nurses was no absolute proof of the disease being contagious. It was frightful to witness the sufferings of many of the patients in the hoe pital. Fortunately when the disease reached the state of collapse the suffering appeared to cease, but in the earlier stages it was fearful. Many of the people who were brought in were just skin and bone, and they came in poi soned, as it were. They (the deputation) bad called upon the Lord Mayor in the hope that he might be able to lay their case before the corporation, with a view to a grant from its funds. Mr. Naos, the house governor, said there were crowds of people dying, for whom accommodation could not be found in the hospital. Mr. S. Gummi - , M.P. observed as a sad and signi fi cant fact that on Friday hat there were as many as thirty bodies in the dead-room, and people could not be got to bury them. They had since got sixteen of them buried, but on Friday the demands on the staff of the establish ment were so great that time could not be found for the interment of the dead. A very great proportion of the patients were German sugar bakers, large numbers of whom lived in that part of London. Mr. Scams, a member of the deputation, observed that it was astonishing to see the number of little children in the wards of the hospital. A great object with the depu tation, he said, was to obtain the advocacy of the Lord Mayor in the Court of Common Council in the emergency. The Loan MAYOR said be should be doing the Court of Common Council an injustice if he thought they required any advocacy of his on such an occasion. This was a question of humanity—(hear, bear),—and he bp.d no doubt the oorporation would cheerfully respond whenever an appeal Walt made to them in such a case. They had always done so before, and he was sure they would not be wanting on this occasion. There was great distress in the east of London, irrespective of that caused by cholera, among the families of men out of work, and those people were thrown upon local charities for relief. He had received two or three deputations on the subject, but he hadbeen cautious about alarming the public. Ile thought, however, the time had now arrived when the merchants, bankers, and other principal citizens should be invited to join in general subscription toward the relief of the prevailing distress. As respected the corporation , they were now in recess, and would not meet again until September. There would be much difficulty in convening • meeting of the Common Council at present, when many of them were probably out of town. But in the meantime the hospital was hardly so bad as might appear at first sight. The au thorities had wisely appealed to the public ; and he ob served that, by the aid of the newspaper press, consider able sums were fiowingin from day to day. Mr. GURNEY, interposing, said they had that morning received 170 letters containing donations, and they could not be too thankful for the liberality which was being shown. _ _ The Loan MAYOR said the public were much indebted to them for their great energy in the emergency. He was then going from there to the Priv , " Council-office, and would take an opportunity of mentioning what he had heard from the deputation. He was inundated with letters, and people seemed to be alarmed at the existence of anything that might possibly produce epidemic. From all be could bear the disease had mostly attacked people who had but little stamina, and those who, from their poverty, had but little to eat, and that little probably bad in quality. The deputation then took their leave. In accordance with the new regulations adopted by the special sanitary committee of the City Sewers Commis sion the several inspectors appointed by that body, under the provisions of the " Nuisances Removal Act," were on duty yesterday morning at an early hour. At 8 o'clock the supply was turned on, and the water was kept running for half-an-hour in the poorer localities. The medical officer of health having recommended the use of brandy, wine, and other stimulants in cases of diarrhow and cholera, and it becoming known that the hospital supplies are limited, subscriptions for cholera patients in Wepital have been opened amongst largo City establishments, at Lloyd's. They commenced on Saturday, and although not a busy day, about 200 f. was subscribed at the Commercial Sale Room. Other deaths are reported from the Northumberland coast. On Friday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a schooner was towed into the Tyne with her flag half-mast high, and she was turned in the Narrows and pla,nd upon the quarantine ground. She had one or more fatal cases of choleni aboard. On Friday morning another death occurred in the Cholera Hospital at South Shields. Four seamen had been conveyed from their vessels to the hospital, one of them being a foreigner named Andreas Hansen, belonging to the N , ictoria, of Christiana. Hansen had been lying in the Tyne Dock for eight days, and being seized with the disease he was on Thursday afternoon conveyed to Shield., where he was attended by Dr. Denham. All the appli ances that could be used were brought into requisition, hut unfortunately without avail. From his fi rst entrance into the hospital Hansen continued to get worse, and died early on Friday morning. Deceased was 21 years of age, and a native of Norway. There are at present five patient. lying in the hospital, but they are all doing well. Dfr. J. Smythe, tide surveyor, reports that the schooner Surprise (Captain Finch), from London, had oome into the harbour, and that a boy had died on board of cholera on Tuesday last, and had been buried at sea. The vessel is lying in quarantine. On Friday morning, about 8 o'clock, Dr. Yeld and Dr. Haling, the medical officers appointed by the corporation of Sunderland, were informed by the Customs authorities that the brig Elizabeth, of Sunderland , last from London, which she had reached from Nice Dieppe, was in the roads, and that on the paoags to Sunderland two of the crew, both Sunderland men, had died from cholera. One of the crew, who had been seized with cramp on Saturday even ing, died on Sunday morning, after about thirteen hours' illness, having all the symptoms of cholera. The body was buried at sea off Southwold. On Wednesday, another man was seized with the same symptoms, and died on Thursday morning, and his body was buried off Flamborough Head. Every precuntion bad been taken by the captain and crew to prevent the spread of disease in the vessel. The clothes of the dead men were thrown overboard, and the vessel was thoroughly cleansed before her arrival here. The medical officers were sa'erfied from the description of the symptoms that the men had died from cholera, and observing one of the crew to be sickly, they ordered the vessel to ride quarantine in the roadstead, and to hold no communication with the shore, except through the medium of the local authorities, until they were able to certify that she might enter the harbour with safety. On Friday morning, a labourer, named Charles Mason, residing in Sunderland, was seized with cholera, but the neighbours refused to allow him to be removed to ' the hospital at the dock. He had been working on board ' a ship at Wood's ballast wharf. He died about mix o'clock in the evening. After raging in the township for seven weeks and carry ing off in the time a number nearly equal to one per cent. ; of the population, the cholera is beginning to decrease in Winsfort4 Cheshire, but the general state of health is, however, very bad, and the number of cases of cholera and diarrheas on the books of the medical officers is as large as at any previous time during the visitation. The decrease cf deaths by cholera is attributed in • great measure to the , working et the Diseases Prevention Act which is now in a force in the town, the medical officers continually visiting took house in their respective districts, and thus being often enabled to deal with the disease in its early stages. A meeting held last Wednesday formhe purpose of taking steps towards the inon of the local Government Act, was made almost riotous a by the guess ss of a crowd of the poorer rate ppm who wore determined to upon any aware likely to result in the imposition of higher rates. After • stormy meeting the mayor was obliged to vacate the chair, and with several other gentlemen to leave the room, when • resolution was carried by acclamation to the effect that the town did nob approve of the act. One of the principal speakers was Mr. Falk, the proprietor of Victoria sat works at Meadow Bank, and the landlord of some of the wretched dwellings described in our early reports of the outbreak of the cholera in Winsford. This gentleman declared that if • local board were attempted to be put upon him at Meadow Bank, he would spend a thousand pounds and get an act of parliament to exempt him from such • thing, a sentiment loudly cheered b 7 the !meeting. Happily the disease appears to be diminishing in Liver pool. Up to Saturday afternoon the total admissions of cholera patients to the wards at the Liverpool workhouse amounted to 116 ; the deaths to 67. Three more deaths are reported at the workhouse. Two more admissions have taken place from the town. In the neighbourhood of Huddersfield a ease of English cholera has occurred. Mrs. Sharpe, wife of Mr. R. Sharpe, of Birkby, was taken ill on Thursday af ternoon . She was not atteaded by a medical man until half-past six on Friday morning, and died in the course of the afternoon. To-day (Monday) the guardians acting for the Huddersfield section of the union are to have an interview with Captain Graham, the agent of Sir J. W. Hamden, for the purpose of settling upon a suitable site for a cholera hospital, to be erected in accordance with the recent suggeaccis of the Privy Council ANOTHER CHARGE AGAINST A POLICE CON STABLE.-THE HYDE-PARK DISTURBANCES. At the Marlborough-street Police-court on Satur dey Police-constable George Ryall, X 110, was summoned before Mr. Knox, charged with 'intuiting George Morti mer, of Dorset-street . . Blandiordoquare. dr.Harris, instructed by Mr. Merriman, on behalf of the Reform League, was for the complainant ; and Mr. Wont ner was for defendant. In opening his cue Mr. Harris maintained that the police had no right to use their truncheons except in self defence. On this occasion, the second day of the Hyde park disturbances, he said that the police acted in a brutal manner, belabouring with their truncheons respectable men, helpless women, and even old men of founoure years. He asked whether it was on such an assemblage that a con stable was entitled to use the power he claimed—a power which the Queen herself could not give him the right to exercise. — The complainant, Mr. George Itortlmer,of Dorset-street, Blandford-square, in the employ of the General Iron Foundry Company, was then exanuned. He said he was in Hyde-park on the 24th July, about ten o'clock at night, with two friends. Asked permission of the police to pass through the gateway of the Marble-arch into Oxford street. They got through, and one of his friends being struck by a constable he turned round and asked what that was for, and they were than pushed by another constable. They walked into the middle of the road, and they saw an old man jostled out at the gate, who fell down. While lying on the ground a constable was about to strike him with his truncheon. He could not say that the defendant was the constable. He put out his stick to save the old man from receiving the blow on his head, and he did stop the blow. lie then walked away, and directly afterwards he received a blow on the head_ He felt stunned, and found the blood pouring from the wound. His stick was seised, and he was struck four or five times on the shoulders. He staggered and laid hold of some railings to prevent himself from falling. Hill friends took him home and he was attended by a doctor, who bad repeatedly dressed his head, which he had been obliged to get shaved. In reply to Mr. Wontner the complainant said there was no mob present at the time ; there was no roiling, no pelting of stones. The park was tolerably quiet. There was no crowd outside the Marble-arah. This evidence was confirmed by Mr. Samuel Wood, of No. 19, Dorches ter-place, in the employ of Mr. Stanford, map-aeller, Charing-cmes, who was with complainant on the night a the 24th, and by Mr. Joseph Shepherd, of No. 10, Wynd hrm-street, in the employ of Messrs. Peters, carnage builders. For the defence Mr. Wontner called several of the police who were on duty at the spot, and they stated that the crowd was very riotous and disorderly, that stones were thrown, that several constables were injured, and that the men were compelled to use their truncheons to protect Cremselvcs. No direct evident:* in refutation of the charge was brought forward. Mr. Knox then said he would first state the law and then go into the facts. It would be more logical to take the law first, to have the light before beginning to walk. He confessed it was not much in his way to travel out of the facts before him in • general exposition of the law, but on this occasion he had heard doctrines broached by the learned gentleman who appeared for the complainant, that he should be sorry to endorse, and still more sorry if they went forth as having been stated in court with out any comment being made by the magistrate. He confessed he was most astonished to hear doctrines put forward whirl, if accepted generally, the very founda tions of society would be broken down, and the quiet, in dustrious subjects of the Queen would be exposed to the attacks and be laid at the mercy of a rabble—the very scum and refuse of society; he did not mean hard working men and mechanics ; be meant thieves, ruffians, and those of that class, to be found always numerous and ready loci disturbance in a town like this. Let us see the state of the law with regard first to the private subjects of the Queen, and next with regard to constables. He would not give an notions of his own—he wouldgive word,the very uttered by some of the greatest ju dges that ever adorned the bench. The l aw , as l a id down es them, had been acted upon for centuries by our forefathers, who were not either careless of their own liberties or those of their fellow subjects ; it had been acted upon from the reign of Queen Elizabeth down to our own time. It would be, in his judgment, and in the judgment of all reasonable men, better to keep to old landmarks than to encourage doctrines which, if once accepted, would lead to nothing but scenes of murder, riot, and bloodshed. It appeared to have been doubted that the police had • right to disperse • disorderly mob. Here is the law on that point :—By the common law the sheriff, constables ? and other peace officers may, and ought to do all that in them lies towards the suppressing of a riot, and may command all other persons to assist therein.-1 Harr. ' c. 65, a. 11. Any private person, and that includes the military, may lawfully and ought to endeavour to suppress • riot without the intervention of a magistrate by staying those whom be shall see engaged therein from executing their purpose, and also by stopping others whom he shall see coming to join them, and by using arms for this purpose or for self defence, if it become necessary. Popham, 121; KeL, 78. These extracts conclusively answered the assertion that an order given for suppressing a riotous assembly was an unlawful order, and that consequently all acts done under that order were illegal. The extracts showed the contrary, that it was not only the duty of constables to act towards the suppression of a riot, but that • private person not a constable was also empowered to do the same thing. It followed that it being the duty of a constable to suppress and disperse a riotous assemblage, he was jus tified in acting to the best of his ability to effect his object, to repress force by force, and in case of need to use the best means in his power to save his life if attacked. ' That was the law of England. The commissioners of police, the superintendent, the inspector, and the sergeant had a right to issue orders to their subordinate officers to disperse a riotous and tumultuous assemblage. There was a double tie on them as private individuals and as police officers. With respect to what constituted • tumultuous assemblage, "if three or more persons do any thing that may be lawfully done in a peaceable manner in a tumultu ous and violent manner, they are as properly rioters as if the act intended to be done by them were ever so unlawful" —1 Raw., 0.85, a. 7 ; and peg curium , if one goes to assert his right with force and violence he may be guilty of a riot—ante, 734. Further, any meeting was an un la wful assembly which, according to the opinion of rational and firm men, was likely to produce danger to the tranquillity and peace of the neighbourhood. And " wherever the intention of such an assembly is to redress public griev ances, as to pull down enclosures, &c., it is high treason." He w ould now come to the facts of she case, previously remarking that Mr. Wontner had not produced direct evidence to negative the evidence as to the constable striking the complainant. He appeared desirous of showing that if the witnesses for the prosecution had been mistaken in one point they might have been mistaken in another, lamely, whether the defendant really struck the blow. Certainly if the witnesses bad misled him as to the state of facts he should not be dis posed to place much reliance on their evidence in reshot to the assault. The witnesses for the complain a nt all de claredee there was no portentous mob at the Marble-arch-- no riot at all. They were walking about at their ease, and this was at the time when the old man was said to have been hustled down. He had heard a good deal of sym pathy a:premed for this old man. He should have been glad to hear a word of commiseration for the policemen who were struck down by stones sod bricks—men who were not there from their own choice, but in the discharge of their duty. And, judging from his own feelings, be had no doubt these men would ten thousand times rather expose their Una in actual battle, or throw themselves into the current of • heady fight, where blows wen given and taken freely, than stand up to receive blows and insults which they were not allowed to return. He had seen that the conduct of the polio. had pined in high quarters applause and admiration. As far as his own personal observation went, while he saw last week one or two men placed in the dock showing alight injuries, he noticed that the policemen who brought them up had many of them hospital band ages on, with cut heads and wonnds pitiful to see, and yet not a word of commiseration was spoken in their behalf. With respect to the evidence for the defenos,thatoompletely contradicted the evidence given by the witnesses for the prosecution. There was a tumultuous mob, which the constable, with others, was engaged in dispersing. He was in the execution of his duty, and the summons must be discharged. At the same time be would just say to the I prosecutor, Mr. Mortimer, before he left the court, that ' should he find himself in • position when riotous proceed lop were going on, and should he happen to be struck, don't blame the constable who has Rive n you • chance blow • but blame those who turned cose the scam and refuse of the town on the peaceable inhabitants of louden."

THE POLICE COURT& BOW-STREET. Captain Williaut Henry Ellis was charged, with a man named James Peters, previously in custody, with having enlisted English seamen to serve under a foreign dig, con- trary to the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Two seamen gave evidence that they had been enlisted by the defendants to serve in the Greetham HalL They were told that they were wanted for a yachting excursion, but it afterwards turned out that the vessel was a man-of war, under the Chili= tag. When they heard the truth there was a row amongst them, and they tried to leave the tug which took them off to the ship, and they afterwards tried to get away in a steamboat which brought a number of men from Portamouth. The applicants succeeded in escaping with a few others. A remand was ordered, and the magistrate consented to take bail in 500 t. each. MURDER IN IRELAND. On Friday night, about 12 o'clock, a young man named Gettins, who held the situation of warder in the Kilmainham gaol, was fatally stabbed at the entrance to his house, which is opposite the prison, and died within a few moments after the injury was inflicted upon hiss. Gettins lived with his wife, brother, and step-brother in • small house facing the gaoL He went out, as he often did before, on Friday evening, between eight and nine o'clock to have • walk with a fellow warder in the prison, • young man named Connor. They re turned to the house between 10 and 11 o'clock. Shortl afterwards the wife of Connor and a man na Patrick Meehan, a beer dealer carrying on business at Great Brunswick-street, anived m • cab. Mrs. Connor and Meehan went into the house, and while all the parties were together an altercation arose between Gettins and Meehan, in the course of which each called the other names, and finally Getting struck Meehan • blow on the eye. Meehan retreated to the door, followed by Gettins, and in a moment the latter received a deep wound in the left breast, which caused him to fall to the Freund, bleeding and helpless. He was carried inside, and a messenger sent for the police. Meal= jumped into the cab, which had re mained at the door, and drove off, using certain expressions which the cab-driver will be hereafter examined to prove. Meanwhile Inspector Skelly, who is in charge of the Kil mainham police-station, hastened to Steevens's Hospital for medical aid. Dr. Tyner, the resident surgeon, and Mr. H. Purcell, hastened to Kllmainbam, but before they reached the house where Gettins was lying he bad expired. The only words he uttered after the blow fell were—" I am stabbed." The blood which spurted from the wound (there was but one stab) stains the door and the flag outside. Death followed in a very short time from the infliction of the injury. The carman who drove the policeman to the hospital and back again found on the floor, inside the door of the house, a pocket knife, the blade open and smeared with blood. The sue of the blade answers to the cuts in the clothes of the de ceased, which were saturated with blood. Inspector Skelly, about 1 o'clock, a.m., repaired to Great Brunsinck.street 1 with a number of constables, and having surrounded Meehan's house entered it, and arrested him. Meehan appeared to have suffered some injury about the eye. He was conveyed to the Kilmainham station-house, and I charged with the offence of stabbing Gettins. He re mained in the station-house till brought before the mites , trate at the bead office next mo . The cabman who drove M. Connor and Meehan to wee de tained by the police to give evidence. MARKETS. HARDWARE—BIRMINGHAM, AUGOIST 4.—The trade of this town shows the same want of animation by which it has been characterised since the commencement of the quarter ; many of the factors are not doing one-half the usual amount of business, and the merchants are in scarcely so good a position. The foreign trade continues very much depressed ; almost the only vitality manifested is in connexio i with the American trade, pn account of which orders are in hand which had been held in suspense. Re cent advice. speak favourably es to the prospects of the Ca nadian trade for the fall, and a few orders have lately been given out for that quarter. There are also orders in for Spain and France, but in other respects there is littledoing in connexion with the continental trade; a ssimilar remark applies to that with the Eastern markets generally. The West Indian trade continues steady, and is about up to the average. In the manufacturing trades of South Staf fordshire and East Worcestershire there is extreme quietude.

COTTON GOODS. —SLuteggwrgs, Atrouttx 4.—The yarn and cloth market has been very inactive during the entire week, and business has been gradually becoming quieter. In yarns sales yesterday for India showed a decline of id. to id. per lb. in prices since Tuesday. Home trade yarns, including 40's twist, were id. to Id. cheaper. Fine yarns, upwards of 100's are firm. Cloth has been in very little request, and a decided decline would have to be submitted to before sales could be effected. The whole tone of the market is one of tameness and depression, muoh disappointment being experienced through the rates of discount still being maintained at so high a figure, WOOLLEN.— Arcrar 4. The attendance at the Coloured-hall this morning hes sot been large, and the amount of business transacted scarcely up to the average. A few good parcels of plain cloths and tweeds have c hands, beyond which nothing of importanoe has h tE d n plate. The demand for heavy goods in the White market has been moderately well sustained, several large parcels having been transferred ; hairlirts have also been freely inquired for, and have in many instances met with a ready male. There has not been any alteration in prices. CORN.—CAXBRIDOZ, Atmoat. 4 —Old wheat sold at last week's prices, one or two samples of new Talavera made 58e.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —lpswren, Atrutrn 4. CzowN Cover.—(Before Chief Justice Ma) INL•ANTICIDE AND SENTENCE 01 DUI'S. Hannah Calthorpe, 27, described as a servant, was charged with the wilful murder of her ille gi timate child, aged three years, at Sproughton, on the sth October, 1865. The prisoner would in the ordinary course of things have been tried at the last assizes for the county of Suf folk, held at Bury St. Edmunds in the spring. trialwu, however,postponed in consequence of M. Payne, one of the witnesses, having broken her leg on the first day of the assizes. .... The prisoner, when called upon to plead, answered " Not guilty," in a clear and firm roles, and wee then accommodated with a seat, on which she remained during the trial. Mr. Bulwer, Q.C., and Mr. Longo appeared for the pro- secution ; Mr. Reeve defended the prisoner. The prisoner is a single woman, and on the 28th Novem ber, 1863, she was delivered of • child at the house of • Mrs. Jordan, who lives in this town, She remained there till May, 1864, and was then placed with a Mrs. Payne, to whom the prisoner was to pay 3s. 6d. a week for taking care of it. She herself went into service, and appears to have become intimate with • fellow servant, by whom she was pregnant at the time of the murder. She was dia. missed from her place, and went to lodge with a Mrs. Hannibell, in Ipswich, and paid 6s. • week for her board and lodging. She then had no means of supporting her self except by needlework. She remained with Mrs. Han nibell till September, when, as her confinement was ap proaching, she removed to another house, where she had only to pay la a week for her lodging. The prisoner had paid her lodgings pretty regularly till about ten weeks before she left Mrs. Payne, and shortly after that she called on Mrs. Payne, and said that she wan going into the union, and should call for the child. She then stated to Mre. Payne that she was lodging at Whitton, which was not the case. On the sth October Mrs. Payne and a Mrs. Goodchild took the child and went to meet the prisoner. They noticed that it was ten minutes to six as they passed through the town, and they met the prisoner entering the town from the direction of Whitton. They all went on to the Inkerman public-house, and Mrs. Payne said, " We will carry the child for you as far as we go, as you will have enough of it before you get to Whitton." To that the prisoner replied that she bad a friend coming to meet her. They then went into the Inkerman, and the pri soner said she was going into the union in the course of the week, and Mrs. Goodchild directed an envelope to M. Payne, and gave it to the prisoner that she might write from the union and say how she was getting on. They were in the Inkerman for about half an hour, and then the child was given up to the prisoner, and she started with it in the direction of Whitton. The prisoner having left the Inkerman Mrs. Payne saw no more of her, but at about eight o'clock she returned to her lodgings in Ipswich without the child. It appeared that she bad left these lodgings between five and au o'clock stating that she WA going for a walk, and the woman with whom she was lodging was not aware that she had a child, and she had never said anything to her about it. About six o'clock the next morning the child was found dead in a ditch about a mile from the Inkerman, and between the roads to Whitton and Bramford. T here was a footpath near the spot and a plank over the ditch, which was about three yards broad, and the distance from the Inkerman to the spot where the child was found, and on to the prisoner's lodgings in Ipswich, was about two miles. The medical man gave it as his decided opinion that the child had died from drowning, and stated that there ware no marks of violence except • few scratches on the face apparently caused by brambles. The child when fo und was dressed, but had no cap on, and the cap, which was identified by Mrs. Payne, was found thrown over • wall near where the pri soner was lodging. On Sunday night, the Ath, lice sergeant Norman went to the prisoner's lodging, and asked her if her name was Calthorpe ; she said it was not, but it should be stated that at this time she went by the name of Mrs. John. He then took her to the police-station, and after she had been there a short time she said, " My name is Calthorpe ; what will they do to me!" Norman then told her the charge. Some time after that she said " I did put the child in the water. I paid for it as long as I could. It was against my wishes, and I have not bad a happy moment since." She made a similar confession to Mrs. Onodchild, who was with her at the station. It was stated by the medical man that the prisoner was near her confinement, and that occasionally the bean was a good deal affected at such • time, and the police-sergeant stated that she appeared in great mental and bodily pain while she was as the police station. On the 21st of October she was confined in the gaol. The witness, Mrs. Payne, who proved these facts, was brought into court on a stretcher, which was placed on the table, she not having recovered the use of her leg, which was broken as above mentioned at the time of the last assizes. She seemed deeply affected, and when the child's cap was shown to her, which she stated that she bad made, she burst into tears, and was unable to proceed with her evidence for some minutes. Mr. Reeve, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, com mented on the fact that there were no marks of violenoe which one would have expected, and stated that his theory was that the prisoner not being able to maintain the child, and expecting another, had left it by the footpath, hoping that some one would find it and take care of it, and that the child had then fallen into the ditch, and be con tended that that was a reasonable explanation of the state ments the prisoner had made. His lordship, in summing up, observed that this was a charge of murder of a most aggravated nature, and the jury should not nod the prisoner guilty unless the case was clearly made out. One thing that he (the learned judge) wished to dispel from the minds of the jury was what had been urged by the counsel for the prisoner, that their verdict of guilty would consign the prisoner to an untimely grave. Al far as his expenence went that would not be the cue, but if it was thought that an ex ample should be made, the law certainly might be allowed I to take its course, but that ought not to enter into the con sideration of the jury. His lordship then observed that if the prisoner placed the child by the brook, as suggested by her counsel, with the intention that it should fall into the brook and it did so, that was murder, just as much as if she had put it in. He then went through the facts of the case as above detailed. The jury retired to consider their verdict at 3 o'clock, and in a quarter of an hour returned into court, and amid breathless silence delivered a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. The prieoner, who seemed much affected, said nothing in answer to the question by the clerk of assize as to whether she had anything to say why sentence of death should not I be pawed upon her. On his lordship assuming the black cap the prisoner became quite hysterical, and bad to be supported by the governor of the gaol. Ilia lordship, who was visibly affected, said—Prisoner at the bar,. you have been convicted by the jury of this atro cious crime, and I entirely concur in their verdict. I do not mean to add to your misery. His lordship then pro ceeded to pass 'entailer of death in the usual form, adding, amid the shrieks of the prisoner, that he would forward the recommendatioa of the jury to the proper quarter. It was some time before the prisoner could be removed from the court, during which it was most painful to hear her groans and cries. She was eventually carried from the court apparently in a state of unconsciousness. NORTHERNCIRCIIIT.—Ieantazarsa, Ara. 4. CEOWN COVET.-- (Before Xs. J'astios Lash.) Tax cAr-o'-wnrsdrAna. The criminal business of these assizes concluded about half-put three o'clock in the afternoon, when the judge ordered the prisoners to be placed in the dock found guilty of the more serious class of offences, whose sen tences had been reserved for consideration. His liwdship prefaced his sentence of the prisoners charged with ro bb ery accompanied with violence, and of , by observing that it was en extraordinary thing garotters, a tters grast city like Mwachester, well lighted and well watched, that persons could not walk the streets in the night as well as in the day time, without danger. He found from the oases that had come before him that even during the nights far advanced in summer robberies had been committed accompanied by most atrocious acts of violence, and he should at these saes' es, as he had done at the last, avail himself of the new powers given him by the statute of inflicting punishment by the bah, in addi tion to the ordinary terms of imprisonment and penal servi tude. The object of punishment was not so much to inflict pain upon the criminal as to deter others from com mitting offences of a like character ; and until it was seen that punishment such as he was about to award had pro duced an effect in Manchester, it would be the duty of her Majesty's judges to pursue the course he was now adopting. ilickiet Carroll and Aaron Attack (who had just been convicted of a street robbery) wars sentenced to Ave years' penal servitude each, and two dome lashes each with the eat-o'-nine-tails.
