EALING RACES-FiuDAy. ~. ~. NORWICH. FRIDAI This morning ushered in the close of the Festival, the musical proceedings of which were brought to a termination by a performance of the Messiah--Handers Christian oratorio in contradistinction to his Jewish oratorio, /wad in AM& Here again, as with the Ca ution, the work is so universally familiar that it is unneces sary to say more than that the performance was a fine one —marvellously so, considering the inces sant strain there has been on the performers since the rehearsal on Monday. Mr. Sims Reeves appeared this morning, and sang with much fer vour and pathos, if not with his customary energy —indeed it has reen evident on the occasions when he has sung that he did so from sheer anxiety to fulfil his engagement in spite of the de ing effects of ill health, and with reduced energies of voice and lungs. It is to be hoped that his appearance at this last of the performances will allay any irritation that may have been felt at his absence on other occasions. The other solo music in the Messick was assigned to Mdlle. Tietjens, Mdlle. Draadil, Mr. Santley, and Mr. Weiss. They who only know Mdlle. Tietjens by her excellent per formances in declamatory stage music would scarcely expect from her such refinement and chistened purity of style, as she has evinced in the sacred music which has been assigned to her at this Festival ; and this was especially observa ble in this morning's performance of the Messiah. Mdlle. Draadil, who confirmed to-day the good impression which she has created by her previous performances here, must assuredly soon be heard more of, if a contralto voice of fine quality com bined with perfect intonation and fervent expres sion iu sacred music be in request. We need not dwell on the singing of Mr. Santley and Mr. Weiss in music which they have so frequently been beard in. Whatever the financial results of the festival— and we trust they will be favourable—the musical interest has been at least up to the average of past meetings. The early Passion music of Handel, and his grand oratorios, Israel in Egypt and the Messiah ; Haydn's grace ful and always charming (though scarcely sublime) Creation, Mr. Costa's florid and highly-wrought IV adapt it, and Mr. Benedict's excellent new cantata, Saint GeiTis (which we are disposed to consider as his very best work), have been features in every instance of high, in some cases of special and peculiar, interest. The non-appearance,l excepting on three occasions, of Mr. Sims Reeves, although engaged for the whole festival, gave rise to some disappointment and dissatisfaction. The first feeling is readily intelligible, but the second is manifestly unjust when the cause was so palpably ill-health. ,Of the general excellence of the performances, of the exertions of solo singers, band and chorus, it ia- dif fi cult to speak in too high terms of praise. The fatigue of so many performances crowded into such a narrow space of time has been so great, that it is marvellous how the energies of voices and fingers could be sustained. The exhausting effect of the long and tiring rehearsal of Monday was occasionally apparent in the performance of Israel on the evening of that day, especially in some of the choruses. But this wore off, and the choral singing on the subsequent days was such as could scarcely be improved on. Mr. Benedict, the conductor of the festival, has had, perhaps, the most exhausting office of any one connected with the event, but it must have compensated him for all his anxiety and labour to find his new work meet with such triumphant success as attended its production at Norwich. Solo singers, chorus, and orchestra (the latter havinl the advantage of being led by our accom plished solo violinist, Mr. H. Blagrove) have exerted their best powers throughout the Festival in spite of the excessive demand on their energies To the excellence of the general arrangements of the Festival we have already alluded, and it only remains to acknowledge the courtesy of those gentlemen concerned therein with whom we have been brought into personal communication. THE ROYAL VISIT TO NORWICH. NORWICH, Nov. 2. The in. , vements of the royal visitors were so rapid on Wednesday and yesterday, and the last available afternoon train leaves Norwich at such an inconveniently early hour, that in spite of every exertion some incidents remained unavoidably unchronicled. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh left Norwich yesterday afternoon. attended by his equerry, Lieutenant Haig. His royal high ness was also attended to the railway station by the High Sheriff (Mr. Tyasen Amhurst), and was loudly cheered by a number of persons who assembled on the platform to witness his departure. Before leaving Norwich. the Princess of Wales was presented by a number of the ladies of the city with an elegantly bound photographic album. The presentation was made by the mayoress IMrs. Nicholls), and the Princess received the gift with every mark of satisfaction. The album is about eighteen inches in length. The cover on one side bore the Prince's coronet and monogram three inches in diameter in solid gold, while the back was ornamented with five fleurs de lys, and the massive gold clasp was elaborately engraved. Both coven were ornamented on the corners with turquoises set in gold surrounded with engraved Prince of Wales's feathers. The case was covered with blue velvet, ornamented with a gold coronet, the Prince of Wales's feathers appearing on the corners. The contents consisted of sexeral photographic views of Nor with Cathedral, the principal seats in Norfolk, and local celebrities. Among the plates in the album were portraits of the Earl and Countess of Leicester ; Norwich Grammar School, with portraits of Lord Nelson and Rajah Sir James Brooke ; St. Andrew's-hall as it was and as it is ; the prin cipal singers at the musical festival; the late PrineeConsort, surrounded by a water colour representation of gathered corn ; l'osteasy as it ' Costessy as it will be, dc. The ball at Costessy,of which some details were given yesterday, was attended by about 300 ladies and gentlemen. The names of many of the leading guests have been already given, but the following were omitted in the hurry attendant on the despatch of yesterday's panel:—The Earl and Countess of Stradbroke, the Dowager Countess of Albemarle ' Lord Hastings, the Sheriff of Norwich and Mrs. Cubitt, the Hon. T. de Grey, M.P.. Mr. W. Begge, M,P., and Mu. Bagge, Mr. C. S. Read. 51.1'., and Mrs. Read, Sir George and Lady Nugent. Lady Gladstone and the Misses Gladstone, Mr. and Lady Rose Weighall, Sir W. and Lady Jones, Lady Charlotte Schrieber, Mr. and Lady Jane Leven. Sir S. Bignold and Miss Bignold, Colonel and Mrs. Fitzroy. Colonel and Mrs. Blomfield, Colonel Rous, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Deleval Astley, x.c. All the principal county familieswere in short represented. The illuminations in Norwich were partially resumed last evening. A fountain has been erected in front of the Shire Hall, the water of which by the burning of varied coloured lights on a raised platform will have, it is ex pecte 1, a beautiful effect. The fountain is to play this evening,. There will also be a brilliant display of firework' this evtning on the Castle meadow. EGYPTIAN-EALL.-MT. Artemus Ward, the Ame rican hutnourist, whose writings in Punek and other jour nals are now becoming even more familiar to the London public than the little books issued by Mr. Ward in America and England, will commence his " illustrated Narrative of Life amongst the Mormons" at the Egyptian-hall on Monday, Nov. 12. Mr. Ward has taken the room lately occupied by Mr. Arthur Sketchley, and will be the second successor of Mr. Albert Smith. WORKING MEN'SLORD'S DAY REST ASSOCIATION. —On Thursday evening last a crowded meeting of the :Southwark br.inch was held at the School-room, Lent unmet, Borough. Dr. liogh Allen occupied the chair. Mt. Salmon moved, and Mr. Charles Hill seconded, " That this meeting, having heard an explanation of the object and principles of the Southwark branch of the Working Meu's Lord's Day Rest Association, pledges itself to support the same. ' Mr. George M. Murphy ' moved, and Mr. Williamson seconded, That this meeting resolves to do all in its power to liberate hairdressers and all other shopkeeperdrom Sunday toil ; and calls upon Sun day buyers to make their purchases on Friday or Saturday, Wet- ad of on Sunday." Rev. W. Curling moved, and Dr. Spence seconded, -, That every man has a right to, and need of, the di,y of rein, of which he ought not to be de prived. except to perform works of necessity ; and that, in the opinion of this meeting, the opening of museums, ne., on Sundays is totally unnecessary—would inflict a wrong on the staff of attendants, pioneer the way for the Sunday opening of every exhibition, gallery, theatre, and other place of iunuseineht throughout the empire, and give a sanction and impetus to Sunday labour in many dipartments of trade, to the great injury of the working claws." The above resolutions were carried tun uli- Zsly. and a memorial to the Earl of Derby was ted praying that large halls, capable of holding from 3 to 4,000 persons, may be erected by government in different quarters of London, where the people could meet free of charge to express their opinions on the social aid political questions of the day. _ - CRYSTAL PALACE.

EQUITY COURTS.—Noy. 2. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) This being the first day of the term, the courts were opened with the usual formalities. The Lord Chancellor was warmly received on his appearance in the procession through Westminster-hall, and Sir Hugh Cairns obtained a complete ovation. Mr. Holt took his seat within the bar upon his appoint ment as Attorney-General. The following gentlemen, having been appointed Queen's Counsel, also took their seats within the bar :—Mr. Maple, Mr. Bowler. Mr. Prentice, Mr. Jones. Mr. C. Pollock, Mr. Mundell, Mr. Garth, Sir George Honyman, and Mr. Quain. IN THE MATTER OP CHARLE4 maim, ALIAS COPPIN. This was an application with respect to a return to • writ of habeas corpus granted by the Lord Chancellor at his private residence during the long vacation, direct ing the body of Charles Dubois, alias Coppin, to be brought up. The question arose under the Extradition Treaty be tween France and England, and involved a point of con siderable importance. The case was not concluded when the court rose ; we therefore reserve our report, The Attorney-Gener4 the Solicitor-General, and Yr. Hannan appeared for the Home-office ; Mr. Edward Jones appeared for the prisoner. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) HARMAN '•. THE GREAT EA`TERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Crouch appeared in this Me in support of a motion for an order directing the defendants to pay into court a sum of 2,0601., being the purchase money of certain premises taken by them for the purposes of their railway. The purchase ought to have been completed by the 13th December, 180, but it was stated that through the conduct of the defendants it had not been so completed. Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., appeared for the company. Lord Romilly made an order directing the money to be paid into court by the 2nd day of January nest. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir It. T. Hindersley.) RE OTEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. Mr. Rolt asked that two motions to take the names of certain shareholders off the list of contributories might stand over till Thursday next. This was acceded to, upon the understanding that no proceedings should be taken in the meantime to enforce the call. EIMER EQIITABLE A9SCRANCE COMPANY V. THE VALE OP MEATH RAILWAT COMPANY. Mr. Shebeer appeared, with Mr. Glass, upon a renewed motion to stay proceedings at law. Mr. Ince, who represented an administratrix, stated that during the vacation an act of parliament had passed for the amalgamation of the Vale of Meath Railway with the Great Western Railway, and that the act contained the usual clause that all suits should be carried on against the Great Western Company. The matter was ordered to stand over till the next seal. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.) , The Vice-Chancellor mine into court shortly before two o'clock, and rose at about half•past two, having disposed of several applications, none of which, however, were of au interest. atteched, and whisk give no privilege, we believe, beyond that of precedence m being heard under certain circum- stances. The next event was the milling within the bar of the following gentlemen who hid attained to the dignity of Queen's counsel :—Mr. Mania, Mr. Dickenson, Mr. Bowler, Mr. Prentice, Mr. T. Jones, Mr. C. Pollock, Mr. Mundell, Mr. Garth, Sir Geo. Honyman, and Mr. Quain. JOIIIII o. PACS. This case was tried at the last assizes for the county of Worcester before Mr. Justice Shea, when a verdict was entered by consent for the plaintiff for 1001. Mr. Henry James, in pursuance of leave reserved by the learned judge, moved for a rule to enter • nonsuit. The plaintiff relied on a contract set out in the declaration, by which he alleged that defendant undertook to supply him with an omnibus which was reasonably fit for the convey ance of passengers. The plaintiff, a publican in Bir mingham, being &dram to arrange for an excursion to Warwick races, went to the defendant, who let out horses and carriages for hire, to procure an omnibus for the purpose, and having seen and inspected the vehicle in question be selected it for the trip. On the return journey one of the wheels gave way, but from no patent defect, and several of the peasengers were thrown off and seriously injured. These persons subsequently brought options against the plaintiff for damages. Upon these facts the question raised , which was entirely one of law, was whether there was an implied warranty on the part of the defendant, that the omnibus was fit for the purpose for which it was to be employed. Lord Chief Baron Kelly—What was the exact nature of the defect! Mr. James—A portion of the wheel proved to be rotten, but this defect did not appear on the face of it. Lord Chief Baron Kelly—lt seems that the whole point is raised by . the evidence, and that there was no question left to the jury. Take a rule. Rule nil. zoom:KA', BANKRIT/111.

The judges of this court—the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Mellor, Shee, and Lush—took their seats on the bench at two o'clock. Wont) r. THE. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Keane. Q.C.. said this was an action tried at Nor wich before the Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for 34/. 2s. sd. He moved, by leave reserved, for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and the verdict reduced by 23/. or 141. lls. Id., as the court should deem right. The action was for the lose of a trunk containing silver-plated articles and silk dresses. The company denied their liability under the Carriers Act. Rule granted. HARL T. CATTERALL AND ANOTHER. Mr. Campbell Foster said this was an action for libel, tried at Durham before Mr. Baron Martin, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 20/. He moved to set aside the verdict, and enter • nonsuit on the ground of misdirection, or for a new trial on the ground of the verdict being against evidence. The de fendante are the proprietors of the liezham Courant, and the plaintiff is the way warden of a parish in the neigh bourhood where the paper is published and circulated. The libels complained of charged the plaintiff with having used public money for hie private p The statement of facts turned out to be untrue. The libels were contained in a correspondence forwarded to the editor. The defen dant pleaded not guilty, and accord of satisfaction in having published the plaintiff's denial of the charges im puted to him. The editor had, however, imported • fact into the oorrespondence on his own responsibility. It was further contended there was no malice shown. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 2. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Willes, Byles, and Keating.) CHAPMAN V. SHEPHERD. This was an action which arose out of the purchase of some shares in the company of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited). Mr. Griffiths said that it was tried before Mr. Justice Bytes in London, when the verdict was for the plaintiff, but the present motion was for a rule to enter a verdict for the defendant. The circumstances were these : The plaintiff was a share broker in the country, and was not a member of the London Stock Exchange. In April the defendant gave hint instructions to purchase some shares in Overend and Gurney's company, the understanding being that the shares were not to be paid for, but that it should be a mere speculation for a rise in price. The plaintiff purchased the shares through his London agents, who were members of the Stock Exchange, for the defendant, and the shares were carried over from time to time, and until the petition was presented for winding up the concern. After this the plaintiff was applied to by his agents to take up the shares, and he had to do so, and now rued to recover the sum which he had paid as money paid to the use of the de fendant. The points now submitted to the court were— first, that the payment having been required to be made by the rules of the London Stock Exchange, the plaintiff's agents, who were members of that Exchange, should have brought the action is. their own names ; and, secondly, that there was no authority whatever either for the plain tiff or for his agents in London to pay for the shares on behalf of the defendant after the winding-up petition had been presented. My Justice Bytes said he believed that the amount in question was considerable, some 7001. or $OOl. Mr. Gritilte—Yes ; and he was afraid it was a question of ruin for the defendant. By the Companies Act, the 29th and 21;th Vie., cap. 89, it was enacted that where any company was being wound up no alteration in the status of members of the company should be made during the winding up without the sanction of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Justice Bytes—There was a rule of the Stock Exchange that made it incumbent upon the plaintiff to take up the shares. Mr. Griffits —lncumbent on the stock brokers in London. Mr. Justice Byles—Then the plaintiff's agents were bound to pay the money on behalf of the defendant, and therefore surely it was money paid to the use of the de fendant at his request. Mr. Griffits contended that as soon as the petition was presented there was an end of any authority in an agent to make a payment on account of shares. The Lord Chief Justice, after some discussion, said that be was of opinion that the parties to the contract were the parties to sue ; and therefore there would be no rule upon the first point. Mr. Griffits, in continuation, said that the second point was one of considerable importance, as it would affect a great many cases. The court granted a rule upon the second point. THE DIVORCE COURT. —There are only 68 causes set down for hearing during the present term, audit stand ng over by consent. ArTEMPTZD MURDER BY A LVNATIC.—At the Nottingham Police-court, yesterday, a young man named Joseph Frost, years of age, who had once been in a lunatic asylum, was charged before the sitting magistrates with violently assaulting Hannah Searcy, 14 years old. It appeared that on Thursday morning prisoner was employed to get in some coke inWollaton-street,and whilst so engaged a piece of cinder was thrown at his head. The girl Searcy ran away, and Frost took up his shovel, ran after her, and caught ber on the opposite side of the road. Before any one could get up to him he felled her to the ground by a savage blow on the head with his shovel. She was ren deral at once insensible, and he followed up with two more blows while she was down, and then he was seized by two gentlemen who were passing by. All this occurred ' in the course of a few momenta, and for an instant every one seemed paralyzed with terror. Instant search was made for a policeman, while the infuriated maniac was held by them who were determined he should do no more mischief. His victim was taken up and carried in an insensible state to the General Hospital, where it was found that one of the arteriesin thehead had been severed. As soon as a policeman came up the man was given into custody, and he at once said in the presence of both his COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 2. ; father and mother, " If Thad had a knife, I'd have cut her This court was very much crowded, the principal attrac- bead o ff ."

ART SCHOOLS. —The Lords of the Committee of Council on Education haying bad under their consideration the payments made on the last examination of students' works in schools of art have determined to increue such peyments. In future the payment on amount of satisfactory elementary works executed during tile year by an artisan will be 15.., instead of 10s. ; and on account of satisfactory advanced works 2es. linefeed of 13s. After the annual examination for art certificates in February next there will be from four to six vacancies in the list of masters in training, to whom an allowance of It. per week is made, for which students of local schools who hold the first certificate may compete. Their lordships express** hope that the number of works to be sent up for the. next examination will be largely in creased. and to point out that suty hesitation of studtif to leave their works in the heads of the local committee might perhaps be modified by miss reduction of the feu to than who submit works. THE POLICE COURT& MABLBOROIJOH-STREKT. Joke Young, charged with causing the death of Edward Willmott, in • prize sparring fight ; Williank Shaw, land lord of the Queen's Head Tavern, Windmill-street, the house where the fight took place ; George Flynn, Daniel Morris, Edward Donnelly, Tliontai Dane James Good, and Josses Ernes , charged with aiding and abetting in causing the death of Willmott, were brought before Mr. Knox for final examination. In the course of the inquiry Evan was discharged, and admitted as a witness. Mr. Knox having minutely gone over the evidence, said —I think we must take it as proved that the unfortunate young man whose death forms the subject of the present inquiry died in consequence of • conflict with one of the prisoners now at the bar, and I have evidence before me that there was • protracted sparring match b e tween Willmott and Young. At the of the fight Willmott fell, or was struck or pushed to the pound, and his head struck against the wall. Willmott was taken out into the next room, became imme diately insensible, was conveyed to the hospital, and there a few hours afterwards died. The house-surgeon who has made the post examination tells us that the appearances after death are such as he should expect to find in • man who had gone through such • contest as that described by the witnesses to contest in Shaw's house, and which had so terminated. The facts being so , the next print is, did Willmott meet with his death in the course of • friendly trial of skill, or was the contest a prize-fight, or in the nature of arize- fi ght ?On the latter supposition there can be no do p ubt that the prisoners (assuming their share io the transaction to be made out as charged) would undoubtedly be guilty of manslaughter. lam bound to say that the direct evidence that this match was • prize fight in the ordinary sense of the term is very slight in deed. To be sure, we have it in evidence that there was • regular ring, two seconds on each side, a referee, &c., and all the usual arrangements for what is called a prize-fight. Moreover money, as it is alleged, was advanced by Good to Willmott in the sperring-room for the purpose of enabling him to proceed with the match. But whether or no this was a regular prize fight, it is laid down on the books that public boxing matches, for the sake of gain, are not lawful sports, and therefore if death ensue in the course of any one of them the parties implicated will not be allowed to excuse themselves under the head of misadventure. I have before me the principal, three of the seconds, the referee, the owner of the house, and two persons who took an active share in a match which was, in all probability, an unlawful one in the eye of the law, and as a consequence of which death ensued. I have no alter native but to commit them all for trial, but I will take bail for their appearance at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Three wretched little fellows, named Michael White, Timothy Sullivan, sad William Parrott, were charged before Mr. Knox with begging. Turner, Mendicity Society officer, said that between seven and eight the previous evening he saw the boys sur rounding the paAsengers by the omnibuses stopping at the corner of the Tottenham Court-road. They were offering fusees to the passengers, and when they could not sell them they begged of the persons. The parents of the boys were in court. White's father stepped forward and said he was not aware his son went out begging, and that he would take care of him for the future. Turner said that Sullivan's parents grovel' abused him. Mr. Knox—The boys are brought here in shoals. The story told me by the parents is always the same—that they are sent out to sell fusees, but they are really sent out tobeg. I do not believe the stories told me by any of the parents. I tell you, Mr. White, that you may tell me what story you like for the first time, but let your boy come here a second time, and I shall have no hesitation in sending him to school, and I will do the same thing in all cases. Just think, man (to White), what you are bringing your child up to. You are doing that which will make him a street thief. You are a strong man, and look at your child. It is a scandalous thing for a man to stand before me dressed as you are (prisonor was very well dressed for a labouring man), and your child in such a condition. I do not believe a word you say. Leave the court. (As White was leaving the court with his boy (—There is the father and there IA the child. Look at the child. The children are sent out to beg ; the parents get money from them, abuse the police, and tell the magistrates the old story. I have one regret, and that is that I cannot nos all the parents to the treadmill . Sullivan denied sending his boy out to beg, and said that his boy bad a bad foot. Mr. Knox—Much you care about that. Sergeant Clifford, E division, said the boys and a number of others were in the habit of frequenting the soot where the omnibuses stopped for the purpose of begging, staying for hours, and the parents coming for the money they re ceived. Parrott's mother admitted she sent her boy out, as she was nearly blind. Turner sail that the boy Parrott told him he wanted to go to schooL Mr. Knox said he would send Parrott to Feltham, and remand the other boys, they being catholics, to see what could be done with them. Three other little boys, named Shepherd, Buttery, and Dixon, were also charged with begging. Buttery wail sent to Feltham, and the other two were re manded. THE SCUTTLING OF THE SHIP SEVERN. After our report left yesterday, An application to admit the prisoners to bail was made by their solicitors, but Mr. Alderman Finnis peremptorily refused to entertain the application. Mr. Lewis said that,a shall had been mentioned, be thought it might be as well to state publicly that there was a warrant out against Berwick, not only for the scuttling of the Jane Brown in which Webb has been the principal, but also for another ship belonging to the port of Liverpool. The prisoners were then removed, and the inquiry was further adjourned to Thursday next. The court sat till close upon 5 o'clock. MARKETS.
