THE HOMELESS POOR. The casual wards of the various metropolitan workhouses appear to have been filled nightly throughout the weok, e ld the insufficiency of their ni aocomodatien prov y the poor creatures to be seen - helplessly huge g about their doors. We have either had interviews with the officials, in terrogated the people excluded, or inspected the wards of the workhouses in the western, west central, north-eastern, and south-western districts ; and though it is cheering to noirpostal that considerable changes are meditated by the several boards of guardians, it is yet an open question whether these will be sufficiently sweeping, or fully meet the case. Between twelve and one on Wed nesday morning there were two youths and three girls crouched on the steps near the workhouse of St. Martin's, two women and two boys outside that of St. George's, Hanover-square, in Mount-street, and s man and three children, the eldest about 12 years of age, in a doorway near that of St. James's, Westminster, in Poland-street, Oxford-street. It was raining heavily at the time, all these out casts were manifestly wet to the akin, and a ll , or nearlylall, told a story which, if untr ue, was mar vellously like truth, and as singularly free from discrepancy as it was identical in its details. It is at least certain that some of them were not lying on atones, in dripping garments, and with the cold wind and rain beating in upon them throughout the night, because they eccentrically preferred to take their rest with such surroundings, or in the hope of attracting sympathy from, and mulcting the pockets of, stray passers by. Such of our readers as rode from theatre os party at the time we quote will remember that the pelting rain had almost emptied the streets, that cabs were in such request as to be difficult to procure, and that the ordiniiry midnight strollers had forsaken the shiny dripping pavements, and were either snugly house or stood up moist, limp, desolate, and forlorn under archways and against doors, vainly attempt ing to escape the searching pitiless wet. We may be tolerably sure therefore that the dozen people we have instanced were thoroughly beaten before they gave in, and may fairly assume that their story of having applied at workhouse after workhouse for shelter without success, and of nuw being too tired, hopeless, and footsore to make any further attempt, was substantially true. We say nothing of the beggars who started up in the purlieus of Covent-garden half an hour earlier, or of the ragged people we saw in other more or lees frequented thoroughfares, and who were all wet and miserable-looking enough, but shall strictly confine our remarks to the rejected of the work houses as coming, nottm coleus, under the sad cate gory of homeless poor. The two lads on the steps at the back of the National Gallery had been—we give in each case the stories told to us—looking for work, had done nothing for more than three weeks —had never been taught any trade, but " would do anythim' to earn a bit of bread," and were not " particlar wot." The three girls on the steps of Archbishop Tenison's school were respectively a servant out of place, a dressmaker and an " unfortunate." They had all been sleeping in lodging-houses when they had money, in workhouses when they had none, and to night had been refused admission at so many that • they were now resting until " it was fi ner, " and they " might try somewhere else." They were coiled together so as to form an almost undistin guishable heap of moist and tattered clothes ; two out of the three were asleep until we questioned the third, and in each case their statement of being " wet through and through" was unmistakeably the fact. The women in Mount-street were older, but told a very similar story, while one of the two boys had sold fusses to gentlemen until robbed of his little capital as well as his stock by his brother, and the other had walked from Brandon.' that day, and " did not know the town." The man with the three children in Poland-street seemed the least deserving of the people we saw. He was as damp and wretched as the rest, but, though civil, shuffled and equivocated when asked the reason of his being there, and told of the re fir;e iu Newport Market. Nor did this proceed from reticence or irritability at being examined. He was voluble 'enough when inveighing against the workhouse authorities, and only became silent or ambiguous when questioned as to his way of life. In common with all the other people we have con versed with, be never gave "full" as the reason for his not being admitted into the workhouses. " They won't ,let us in," is the regular formula, and there seems deeply-rooted conviction amongst the outcast population that the parish authorities keep them out, not because the exigencies of space preclude their housing all comers, but out of a pleasure in inflicting discomfort, or in the indul gence of wanton caprice. It is useless to appeal to the knowledge the houseleas have of the size of the wards, or to point out that to overcrowd them would be unfair to those already in. Exposure, hunger and cold, have a stern logic of their own, I " and t wouldn't 'urt 'em to find room in a big place like that is," cuts short all attempts at ex planation. The evening after the experience we have detailed we visited the Whitechapel workhouse in Charles street, Mile-end. Turning down Baker's-row, a narrow thoroughfare a few doors to the east of the Pavilion Theatre, where a staring placard announces with apparent inconsistency "A Fight with Fate" as one of the novelties of the evening, and passing many a window wherein are slabs of cold fried fish like geological specimens at 2d. each—cheap jewellery --pudy common lithographs arranged on the bottle jack principle, and chasing each other round a pre scribed circle with unmeaning regularity—where the steam from the hot potato-shop rushes out in a compact white mass like the inverted horn of a monster unicorn—where the street lamps seem dim after the brilliant jets and stars at the cheap tailor's you have passed where fireworks are freely exhibited in a shop window, and the wish of their maker to supply both England and the colonies therewith announced on his mon ster door-plate—and the stranger after one or two questions is at the workhouse door, and learns that he must retrace his stepaas he has passed the place be has come to see. Up a dark archway out of the Mile End-road, and two doors to the west instead of the east of the Pavilion, are the casual wards of this workhouse. The evil faces of the men idling about the archway, its unlit condition and gloomy aspect, make a policeman an almost neces sary escort. This secured, and picking your way among the mud, and passing by a dozen or more of empty carts ranged in regular order for the night, and you are at a closed gateway with grated wicket. The absence of gas makes the narrow street you have just traversed appear of Oriental brilliance when compared with tke darkness you are now in, and when, after a momentary parley with the old pauper at the gate, you cross its threshold, the light from the sort of enlarged rabbit-hutch, wherein the said old pauper sits, sends out a bright and cheer ful gleam against a hard background of symmetri cally arranged granite blocks. These are for "the inmates "to break. The casuals have nothing to do at present, only eat their suppers, and sleep and be quiet, Aod even as we are learning this, a knock comes at the gate, and a dirty dishevelled shrew demands in insolent tones to be conducted to her bed. nix now about nine o'clock, and the eight o'clock batch of poor having been some time housed, there is yet room, and the termagant is taken in. Not quietly, by any means. More than half tipsy, and indulging In the peculiar vein of moralising which pertains to that condition, she informs the pauper who receives her that " he's a big wan to-day with his loaves and his slates, but be might be taken before morning, and then where would he be." To the policeman she remarks, " I'm used toyer months, and I'd as soon sleep at the station every bit, if yer'd like to take me." To the second old pauper who has come up with the keys of the ward, that she belongs to the place and "yer can't refuse me and be —to Ter; to the stranger present that she " don't matter yer com missioners not a snap of her little finger;" and baying thus politely ingratiated herself with all present, and received the hunch of bread she has elected to take now, instead of the morning, she fires a parting volley of anathemas and is conducted to her bed. "This is what we have to put up with, and to admit them at all timee," THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1864. remarks the first old man, a shrewd greybeard, with an eye like a bead, who takes down the name, calling, and lastresting place of the people coming in on one of the slatesjust sneered at. Without quoting individual cases, it may be remarked generally that the people who seem least tolerant of the claims of the houseless are those neatest their own con dition. The actual officials and masters of work houses show infinitely more consideration and kind ness than do the parochial paupers for their casual brethren, and it would almost seem as if living in a workhouse on fare provided by the parish conduced to worldly-mindedness and pride of spirit. Certain it is that the harshest remarks we have heard about " some of 'em never coming here till their ill, and then being ordered into the house because the doctor says they aint fit to walk," and about " nasty wretches, who aint got hardly a shoe to their feet," have come from gentlemen or ladies who are themselves only saved from starva tion by parish help. A girl of sixteen, who earns her living by cleaning doorsteps ("I suppose yer call that charing," from the first old pauper), and who is looking out for work in London (" of course, hanging about London, and coming from work house to workhouse like the rest of them," from old pauper No. 2), is the next applicant, and is duly housed, and provided with a hunch of bread. The remarks we quote have not been made either to or at her, but have rather been the uncontrollable asides of human nature severely tried ; and it is right to add that there was no want of promptitude either in answering the gate or in ushering those knocking at it to the wards. These rooms are similar in character to those previously described, and are not filled, up to the time we leave. But that they will fill, and that people will be turned away before the night is over, seems certain, and is no more than the ordinary habit of the place. Baths are to be erected and the ward considerably enlarged within the next week or two, and the guardians hope to thus comply with the regulations recently laid down. Arriving some two hours later at the Poland-street Workhouse, we find that its casual wards are full. At present only nine men and nine women can be accommodated here ; but in a fortnight from this date a new ward, with an entrance in Dufour's-place, will be opened, baths provided, and beds for twenty men and twenty women (in all) laid down. In ad- dition to the eighteen beds already furnished, from six to eight have for some time been set apart for cases of emergency and sickness, and at the hour of our visit there were, including children, twenty-one "casuals" housed. Some disappointed women were weeping outside when we left this for the Mount street Workhouse. It was not then twelve o'clock, and making way through the accustomed little knot of crouching, miserable figures on the steps, we knocked at the door, only to hear," Full, quite full," spoken through the grating, and to learn that it was too late for either the master or his represen tative to be seen. Cerberus, who was a highly peremptory old pauper, opened the upper half of the door, and consented to parley with us over the spikes which ornamented its lower portion ; but the information to be gained from him was but limited. The place was quite full and had been for hours ; alterations were to be made, but he didn't know what ; the master could be seen any time after eight in the morning, but certainly not now ; and with a dissatisfied grunt at being disturbed, the speaker swung to the shutter-door, and the little knot outside, whose hopes had been roused at our persistency, resumed their attitudes of listless despondency and pained fatigue. It is as impos sible to make the round we did without learning that the authorities of the various work houses are determined to enlarge the field of operations as it is to avoid the fear that such increase in the number of casual beds as they are able to effect will not fully meet the difficulty. The Strand Union has handed over the function of relieving applicants from its own officers to the police, and from and after this (Saturday) night the tickets for admission into the Cleveland street Workhouse will be given out at the Bow street police-office. Divers other modifications are spoken of, and we not unfrequently heard of Mr. Parnell having conferred with the guardians on behalf of the Poor-law Board, and of the guardians agreeing to carry out his views ; but the great ques tion which touches us all is not so much the willingness of these gentlemen to make the most of the means at their disposal as whether those means, limited as they are, will prove adequate to the claims the coming winter will bring upon them. Taa Manila in CLaacaNsesma..—On Saturday Mr. Serjeent Pays* held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on Francis Plowman Roberts, alleged to have been murdered by a fellow-workmate, named Alfred Thomas Jack son. under the circumstances already reported. Gustavus liaises stated that he was a jeweller, and worked at Messes. French and Oa's. He left the dammed and Jackson at work on Wednesday night at half peat ten. He did not know of any dispute or cause of quarrel between them. Edward Thomasoo said on Wednesday night he was in his room whichwas at the back of Messrs. French's workshop, and Parallel with it. At about half-past eleven he heard groans, and looked oat of his window, when there was a cry of "murder," and he mew a man run along the wall from the workshop, and drop down on the other side. He knew that man to be Jackson. He went round to the front door, end was admitted. He thou went into the workshop and saw the deceased, who was bleeding. He asked him who did it, and he said Jackson. James Harrison, a clerk to Messrs. French, spoke to haw* gone into the workshop as soon as he heard what had taken place. He asked deceased who did it, and he said Jackson, and gave him Jackson's address. Witless went to the address with a policeman, and raw him and his mother. The policeman charged him with violently assaulting the deceased, and he mid he knew nothing of it. Joseph William Smyth, a gold chainmaker, working at Messrs. French's, said he was told there were thieves in the house, and he weal there. When he got into the workshop he saw the deceased bleeding from a large wound in the head. He asked him how it was dose. He said he had been to:wash his hands, and was going upstairs, wiping them on his apron. when Jackson met him at the top, and hit him with the broom. The witeess said the decea sed frequently lent money to his fellow workmen ; be used to carry a pocket book, in which he kept the promiesory notes for money lent. Miss French said she was certain that no one left the house after Mr. Gouges. Several other wit nesses deposed to the deceased's having said that Jackson was the prawn who assaulted him. Mr. Eccles (the Louse surgeon) stated that he had examined the head of the de ceased. He was quite sensible when he first came in. His face was covered with blood. He had a wound on his right eyebrow, about an inch losg, two wounds on the frost at the top of the head, four wounds on the left side of the head, a bruise on the back of the head, and • slight bruise and graze on the left shoulder. He was minable for an Lour and a half. and then gradually became insensible, and in that state he died. Death was no doubt caused by a severe fracture of the skull. The marks on the broom were blood marks. The jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against Alfred Thomas Jackson." TILE ALLEGZD SCICIDL or DS. DEMME.—It seems that, to spite of the affecting farewell letters of Dr. Demote and Mane. Trutnpy, doubts are still entertained of their having committed suicide. Toe Gux ft< cltr Trttuneux has received on the sus.,ject the following letter, doted Berne, Nov. 24 :—'• The announcerreet of the suicide of Dr. Demme and Mdlle. Flora Trumpy is received with a certain degree of incredulity. Despatches from the prefects of Lan ramie and Vevey, as well as front other points on the Lake of (James, state that the bodies have not been found. The announcement of the suicide made by the Demme family is, tho•vfore, only based ou the farewell bitten written by the ' doctor and 31111 e. Fora, and, from the haste in which they have been published, the truth of the story is mere that ever doubted ; it is looked upon as a made-up tale, intended to mask the departure of Dr. Demme, and facilitate his se , tabliahment in some other country wider an assumed Same— ' perhaps even his soteptaticei of the peat of surgeon-in -chief to ' the Mexican army, which is said to have been offered him." l Dr. Demme, senior, writes to the Bumf, of Beres :—" In reply to rumours c i rculating among the public and in the visa, relative to the announcement made by me of the death of Dr. Hermann Demme and Flora Trtunpy, I declare on my hewer and conscience that I made that stononoce meat with a bleeding heart, and only alter the most minute inquiries, sad with the full conviction alb* truth of the fatal news. Now, if it should turn out that the suicide was a fiction, resorted to in order to oonceal a flight, I was the first to be deceived by it, and I should agree with public opinion in condemning such an infamous action. It is to Le hoped that time will lead to the discovery of the truth. 1 —Dr. DENY; senior." A singular trial is about to take place before the Tribuaal of Lille. A dispute had arisen between the Catholic organ, the Propagute u r. and the other journals of the town, on the subject of a cantatrioe, and the quarrel at length became so bitter that blows were ezcLauged between the clerical and liberal jonniab•ta. A challenge to the writees in the Propirtesr baying been refused by them from motives of maw* those gentlemen were held ep to public contempt by a oota is the other journals of the town. Io conee9ussee of this proceeding the catholic writers have now instituted • prosecution for defamation of character against their adversaries. The public prosecutor at the same time mamma both parties to appear ye a charge of smash. MUSIC , . ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. Mr. J. L Hathon's new opera, Rose, or Love's Raw" Performed foe the first time on Saturday ending, has been expected with much interest by the musical public ; for Mr. Hatton, though not known as • dramatic tempoesr, holds a very high place among oar English musicians. it is in vocal music that he has gained his repu tation. His numerous part Wags, especially, are of Pre eminent merit; and saving than of Mendeksohn, we know of no others that an worthy to be compared with them, whether in reprd to origins- Illy, variety, richness, and purity of harmony, or charm of expremion and effect. Mr. Hatton's experience and skill in writing for the voice are very append in this ores ; one of its many good qualities being the eseentislly vocal character of the made In the sirs, concerted pieces, andi choruses, whatever demands may be made on the lingers' pewees ot brining execution, or of clear and pointed thenciatioa, they are over embarrassed by those mecca phrases or bush instrumental intervals which are sow so frequent, especially in the vocal music of the modern German school. The vanes of the performers are heard to the best adventege ; and the music is doubtless se pleasant to them to sing as it is for the listener to hear. Mr. Hades has evidently been a diligent student of the peat amstres of fames times—of Mozart especially, with whose style and spiv* though without any servile imitation, he seems to be thoroughly imbued ; and the fruits of his studies are apparent, sot only in the vocal portion of his music, but in the admicable clearness and names of his instrumentation. This opera, in short, will justify and strengthen Mr. Hatton'. well-earned reputation, while it will furnish evidence of hie genius as &dramatic musician. We an not so sure, however, that its snows' will be commensurate with its merits. It is true that its meeption on Saturday night wee, to all appears:wee day eatidadoey. The house did not show the signs of " packing " whisk theatres so often exhibit on a first night ; sod the applause, liberally bestowed sad waning warmer and warmer se the performance proceeded, bad the ring of sterling meld, while its discriminating character seemed to express the genuine sense of the audience. But, independently of ell consideration of its :sceptics, the piece has detects which, if not sufficient to muss its failure, may stand in the way of its complete Buda& And these defects, as has too often been the case with works of the very greeted composers, lie in the dramatic more than the musical portion of the work. The subject a taken from the French—a circumstance generally in favour of a dramatic piece, whether musical or son-musical, for it must be owned the modern French dramatists have more 'kill than ours in the invention and *contraction of plod ; but in this we the plot is neither very interesting nor clearly developed. And besides, the subject is too slight for so heavy a superstructure It might suffice for a light two-act piece, but is not sufficient to sustain the weight of an opera which occupies more than three hours in performance. The manner in which the pied is got up and performed dote honour to the theatre. The character of Boles is sustained by Madman Lammens-Sherriagton. She 1 1 looks the part charmingly, rota with great spirit and feeling, and, as a singer, perhaps has never appeared to greater ad dling.. It is evident that the composer hen bad in view her peculiar gifts and qualities,—the elastic lights'ss of her beautiful voice, the perfect finish sad brilliancy of h er delivery of florid passage, and the happy adaptation of her fender° to the purpose of expression. The part of Theresa I wu delightfully performed by Miss Poole, a lady who has no superior as a genuine English singer ; and Madame Weiss, both as an actress and a singer, did full justice to the character of Georgette. Mr. Perna has never been more successful than I in the cart of Stephen : the music is well adapted to his voice, sal his acting evinced intelligence end vigour. Mr. Weiss made all that could be made of the somewhat pan demos part of Jacques ; Mr. H. Corn extracted from the part of Blanche° such humour as it contains ;andthe recruit ing opted had en effective representative in Mr. Aynslay Cook. Some curtailment would be of edvantsge. for the opera is too long ; but thin ie more to be &aired than expected. SPORTING INTELLIGEIffJE. CHEETSKY STEEPLECHASEI3.-13457RDAY.

This fire was not extinguished at a late hour last night, and two powerful float engines and two land steamers were playing upon the burning jute and seed and other stores which the building con tained. Between 6 and 7 o'clock on Saturday even ing an event occurred from precisely similar causes as three which caused the walls to fall end kill the late Mr. Braidwcod, via. the swelling of the jute from the effects of fi re and water. On the south eastern corner of the promisee the stores were com pletely stocked with jute in bags, and whilst a number of the firemen and others were sanding in Hill-street the wall of the building was suddenly heard to make a cracking noise and seen to bulge. An alarm was given, and all the men succeeded in making their escape, but in en indent after some thirty or forty yards of the wall, which was eighteen or twenty feet in height, fell into the road. The thoroughfare is now completely blocked up, and the bags of jute of themselves form the barrier or wall on this side of the building. The escape of some of the men is stated to be almost miraculous. When the explosion took place one of the firemen, named Hale, was blown acmes the road with considerable force. The poor fellow's hands are very averely injured, and be has also received very serious injuries on the back. Amongst the various aids which the brigade bad ' for extinguishing the fire, the Holloway Volunteer Fire Brigade attended and reodend good service, the young men having remained on duty ready to render any service during the whole of Friday night. The denting and land steamiengines continue to play on the ruins almost inces santly, but with little apparent diminution of the body of the fire, which is Namely expected to be thoroughly ex tinguished for a week. It is believed that but little of the stores or the premier will be saved, and it is estimated that the lees will amount to 150,0001. to 200,0001. On visiting the scene of destruction yesterday the whole of the innu merable wretched courts and alleys running through the district in every direction were found to be flooded with water to the depth of one or two feet, and the basement roomaof the hovels above mentioned, being eomethintiZiAr thanthe pavement, were many of than foulliffsfol7 to the destruction of the few wretched articles of furniture and bedding they coetsined, but which constituted the whole worldly possessions of the occupants, none of whom were insured for the amalket mount. This inundation bad arisen from the opening of the water-mains to supply the engines, and from three having been kept open for so long a period, and the defective sewerage of the district not being capable of carrying off the quantity et water thus flowing into the courts and alleys. Captain Shaw, the Superintendent of the London Fire Brigade, in his report to the insurance companies interested, describm the extent of the damage as follows : Meriton's Wharf, Dockhead, Bermoodsey, Mesas.

That "the character of the place" has always been to extol play and depreciate work was the general complaint brought against Eton some time ago, and even her defenders could scarcely deny that such was the tendency of the boys. But that the head master of the school should publicly put himself forward to "disclaim" a modest attempt to obtain for talent and diligence as honourable mention as thews and sinews are wont to receive in the daily press, even Paterfamilias could scarcely have ezpected.-1 am, &a, Nov. 25.

As to the latter, provihoo had Win made for some hundreds of extra pens, and the cattle deems generally were better filled ; in fact, in that respect and in some others this year's exhibition gives evidence of an advance generally, as the amingements at lingley Hall are really excellent. In toe classes for cattle the Herefords, u usual, carried off the palm, though there were no very extraordinary ani mals exhibited. The ox shown by Mr. Phillips, of Ardiog. ton, BerksAinslass 1, took notonly the first prize, but also the extra 261. as the best beast exhibited in the clam, the gold medal se the beet ox or steer, sod the twenty-five the best beset in the yard. Lord Welhogliam's (ib u r as president's) prize, a silver cup value twenty-five gai ning, for the best ox or steer of any breed or age, to. be bred and fed by the exhibitor, was carried off by an animal ex hibited by Mr.?. Pulvea, of Broughton, nearWelliogborough ; and the Earl of Ayledord's extra pries of 161. for the best shod-horn heifer wee given to an animal exhibited by the Duke of Sutherland ; but for this prize there was much competition. The extra prize of 251. for the best animal of the Devoe breed exhibited was taken by Mr. W. Sinith.of Exeter, for an animal shown by him in clew 10, for Devon stems sot exceeding three yearn and three months old. Lord Derby took the first prise in clams 16, West Highland oxen or steers, some fifteen animals beieg exhibited in that clam. His lordship also took the extra 251. as exhibitor of the best specimen of the Scotch breed in the three classes. In the 4 clauses for cows and betters the gold medal was awarded to an animal exhibited by Mr. Stedman, of Shropshire, in class 3, and a ware splendid specimen.of purity of breed has never teen seen at any show. The extra prize of 251. for the best shorthorn was awarded to a cow shown in clam 9 by Mr. Robert Sharpe, of Cowhands, Sussex. As we have said, the Hereford cleans were well filled, but there were so animals possessing soy extraordinary merit shown. The shorthorn cows were good, and there were some very Woe specimens of the old long horn breed—certainly the beet animals of that breed seen here for many years ; but upon the whole the Scotch breeds were the most perfect animal, shown. In class 16, foe instance, for West Highland oxen or stews, the animals were all of than first rate. In every respect the exhibition of cattle is characterised by progress. For Welsh classes there was little competition ; m Clain 19, for cows cad heifers of that breed, there was no entry. The classes for sheep were well filled. The Shropshire* were good, but by far the best animals shown were the two shear Downs exhibited by Lord Walsiugham ; such aaimals as these have never before been seen in Biogley Hall. In dam 26, the extra 101. prize for the best pen of lon-wools offered by Mr. Holli day, the late Mayor of Birmingham, was awarded to a pen exhibited by Mr. Foljambe, of Osberton-hall, Notts; and the extra prize of 231., offered by the linen and woollen drapers of Birmingham for the best pee of fat withers, was awarded to Lord Wheingham, who carried off the fin* and second prizes in this class, the third being given to Lord Radnor. The extra prize of ten guineas for the best pen of South or other Down sheep, offered by Mr. Baldwin, • member of the Birmingham Town Council, and Mr. Hodgson, the deputy clerk of the peace, was awarded to Lord Walsiogham ; and Mr. Newdegates prise, a silver cup, for the best pen of Shropshires,wesgained by Lord Wedlock, the competition in this elms being very considerable. In most of the dames there were numerous commendations, and the judges were many hours in making their awards. In elms 7, abort-horn cows, for teatimes, finer animals bays seldom been exhibited, and each was bad out many times before the first prize was conceded to Mr. Sharpe, who obtained the extra 25/. for the hest animal shown in dame 5,6, 7, and 8 (short-horns). The show of pigs is good ; such a eolleetion of Berkshkee has not been seen in Bingley-ball for many years. Then le the usual splendid oo'deotion of poultry of all kinds ; there are pigeon' in a'nndanoe, and of every variety. In Die ball there is also • wc.odroim show of r o o f., f a r exceeding anvthing of the kind which could ham been ex pected, considering the arson. The samples of grain were elm fine. As to the roots the silver cops offered by Messrs. Proctor and A land, of Birmingham, and Mann. Griffin and Morris, of Wale , okamptoo, were both awarded to Mr. Joba Moore, of War wick. In clam 1. this gentlemen showed AU aorta each of long manifolds, globe man golds, swedes, and carrot s, the aggregate weight of which was 364 lbs. ; of this 1 ot, the six long mangokla weighed 167 He. In clam IL, far the best collection of long mangolds, globe mangokls, eyed& y and ox cabbage, six roots of each, the aggregate weight 'vas 566 lbf, of the first prim. There were also shown sour fine specinums of Kohl Rabbi. The arrangements at Bingley Hall are perfect ; Mr. Jere miah Mathews, Mc. Shackel, Mr. T. R. Wright, Mr. John Lowe, and other rif the stewards, spare neither labour nor attendance to ear are this. They ham also the active co operation°, the mama and stEciseit eserebery, Mr. Lythall. The Dog Blio w also opens on Monday. The *amiss exceed those of lest 7 far by 133, the total number of all classes in both divisioar. this year being 701. against 568 at the last show. Lent year the 'atria* in division 1 (sporting dogs), were 408; this year they are 466. Lest year the entries in division 2 (Anis not used in field sports) were 160 ; this year the 7 am 235. In the secon d division the amount of prises as, been increased, the result of which is that the number of animals shown is greater than it was last year.

WORSHIP-STRERT, _ Steph, BasterooLuxijoiiici tieZhao Keys public. house, in Went,' -street, Spitalhelds, appeared before Mr. Cuthbert Ellison to answer a mamma preferred against him at the instance of Alfred Priddes, an officer of the Excise. The facie et the whole AM, which compied a very mai dwells portion of two days' attention, may be reduced to this :—A lad, named Wil li am Janes, only 12 years old, =- flayed by defendant, was, in consequence of information given to the Excise, watched and found serving gin IT4 bottle he carried to workmen at a building not two If yards from his master's house. He was taken into custody and remanded upon the charge ; but subsequently that abase was abandoned and his evidence received against the premet defendant, from which it was understood that he received a certain weekly sum for duties performed by him, and in the course of which be had to supply the men, on the new building alluded to, with refreshment. Mr. Marshall, from the office of the solicitor to the Inland Revenue, now said that he had mentioned the whole matter to the Commissioners of the Inland Revenue, who did not feel justified in withdrawing the information against the defendant, and it mart therefore be left in the magistrate's hands to deal with. Whatever the fine inflicted it might be appealed against. Mr. Ellison, in the course of the hearing, put the follow ing question as pertinent to the case :—Am I to under stand that if I order at this court six-pennyworth of liquor to be brought to me, and in °emplane° with such order it is brought end paid for, the landlord of the house who furnishes it is liable Mr. Marshall—Yes, sir; and the servants of publicans who carry about beer in treys do a wrong, for which their employers are liable ; it lea hawking ; certainly the Excise powers are not carried into effect ; it would be unques- Mesabi a . peat iocouvenience to the publican. Mr. It is not surprising the contractors should wish their workmen to be supplied on the premises wherein they are working, and doubtless muck benefit arises from that course ; the work is not delayed, and an unneoeseary expenditure of money is avoided. It is nevertheless quite clear that an offence under the meeting of the act has been committed, and I floe the defendant one-fourth of the penalty, namely, 124 lOs. • at the same time expressing an opinion that the defend ant was unaware of his trans gression.

It was stated in our report of byesterday week that if the steamer thee due from Ame ri ca rought sews of President Lincoln. re-election busbiess men here had an iropressiou that prices would go up to nearly the highest figures known before the late panic. The result justified that impression. Liverpool has seldom been visited by so many buyers as on Monday last. The market was almost wild with excitement. Fortneately, many of the spinner' who went down refrained from operating, or prime most have been run up beyond what had even been foretold. As it was, the advance was lid. to 2d. per lb., and in some cases more. On Tuesday the market here, for yarn and cloth, was quite as excited, and were advanced in about the same proportion. pricesiii e, indeed, were in some instances advanced :3d., and even more, per lb. Shirtiest. were advanced about 3a per piece, and other fabrics in Dearly the same proportion. Where extreme prices were held for, however, buyers would not operate, and though • good deal of business was done, it was more through a spirit of speoulatioa than from any book fide transactions. The result has been • gradual looking down of excitement ever since, and the people who bad been the foremost purchaeers up to that day have been somewhat active in offering goods for re ale. Yesterday and today very little business has been dose. The goods offered for resale have stood in the way of spinners and manufacturers making much progress, and ' yarn and cloth, like cotton, are rather easier to buy at the close than they were in the beginning of the week. Quotations are not much altered, but buyers find that they have • slight advantage. There is, comparatively, quite • lull is the market. WOOLLEN. —LEEDS, \oc. 26.—There ban been • vary thin attendance at both markets this morning, and the I amount of business tray aseted has been very limited. A few plain cloths, with • sprinkling of tweeds, have changed hands in the Coloured Hall ; the transfer of hair-liste in the White market has also been stualL Hates continue without any perceptible improvement. HARDWARE—BMW: SA*, Nov. 26. —The trade of this town is a shade quieter than it was a week ago; it is not that manufacturers are leas actively engaged, but the factors' orders are beginsiag to fall off, except as to fancy goods, in which more business m being done, and in all probability this will condone for the next two or three weeks. In the metal trades there is a fair amount of &carnation, better, on the whole, than ie gene rally experienced at this time of the year. The edge-tool makers have a considerable number of orders beforehand, a good proportion of them being on account of the foreign trade; the electro-platere are also well off in that respect, and the tie•plate workers are fully employed. For builders ironmongery the demand is moderate, and the brassfounden report a want cd animation in that branch ; but ootwith- Mauling these exceptions the general condition of our trade is undoubtedly so far satisfactory that returns ere consider ! ably above the average. The manufacturiag trades carried on in the adjoining district of South Staffordshire sod East Worcest ersh ire are for the mart part active, with the exception of Dukakis, where the gun-lock filers are short of work. It would he scarcely possible to name another branch in which there are not sufficient orders is hand to keep all who are engaged in them hilly employed. The Wolverhampton trade is active ; in the neighbourhood of Wedneebary, Dudley, and in the district towards Stone bridge, all the large works are in full operatiou, but at the latter place business is quiet. At Walsall the saddlers' iron. monger are doing &steady trade, but have not many orders beforehand ; the malleable iron-fonedere are busy, and in =work a good business is being dome. For chains, and other articles of that class, there is also a steady demand. The iron trade of this district is in anything but a satisfactory state. CORN.—Cmanariat, Nov. 2d.—Our market w as ae dull mit could be for everything, with a very slow sale. Wheat, 345. to 38a; barley, 23a. to 32a; oats, 16s. to 21e.
