S 4 THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. (Yuan °us anao. couzspopmin.) • NOITEROHAY, Vanua, Pleasure almost took precedence of business yesterday. Although the Sections were well attended in the morning, and some papers and dis cussions of extreme interest were expected in the a ft erno on, the sttractions of the great floral fete in the Park overcame the attractions of science, and the Sections were comparatively deserted at an early period of the day. The fete was certainly very brilliant. As a collection of splendid flowers it was one of the best that has ever taken place in the Midland district, renowned though it is for the love of its inhabitants for flowers. Nottingham itself is surrounded by a wide belt of gardens which are said to number nearly nine thousand separate allotments, and the interest of the inhabi tants in the floral exhibition was evidenced by the closing of many of the shops in honour of the fits. The two principal characteristics of the show were the orchids and the ferns. One of the largest of the tents contained a magnificent collection of the latter, and presented a vast mass of foliage, infinite in its variety of form, exquisite in its minuteness of development, and wonderfully illustrative of the fact that the doctrine of " continuity " is not in the least incompatible with the widest divergences between the two ends of a series which are never theless closely linked together by a chain of forms only slightly varying each from its immediate neighbour. The display of fruits was good, and the exhibition, though not strongly adapted to advance science, at least promoted enjoyment. One of the most re markable things in the show was in one of the centre marquees. It consisted of a branch of the Chinese mulberry tree, on which were a number of sflk worms of a much larger and more beautiful form than the ordinary silkworms. They were in all stages of development, from the egg to the cocoon, and were accompanied by some fine specimens of last year's moths. They were raised in Nottingham, and I was told that there had been some expectation that the worms might be cultivated with success, and with immense ad vantage to the silk trade of this district, if not in England, at leant in some parts of Western Europe. The trees on which the worms livemay be seen growing, and, I understand flourishing, in the garden of Mr. W. G. Johnson, in Nottingham park. Something like a scientific curiosity was introduced in the shape of a machine for trans planting growing trees, invented by Mr. Barron, of Borrowaah. On one of the machines stood a golden holly, 30 feet in height, which had been twice transplanted by it. Of course, the principle is the lifting of the tree with an immense ball of earth attached to the roots, which are consequently not disturbed. The machine, we are informed, is about to be removed to the Kew Gardens for use there. But the great feature of yesterday's pleasures was the soiree at the Exhibition building in the evening. The building had been beautifully de corated for the occasion, and transformed into an immense drawing-room, hung all round with choice pictures and photographs, adorned with an immense number of objects of scientific interest, and well lighted and carpeted. The halll is about 200 feet in length, 37 in width, and 42 in height, and a gallery 12 feet wide runs completely round it supported on light columns, which rise from the ground to the arched roof of the nave. The whole of the space provided by the hall and galleries was filled, about 2,000 persons being pre sent. The chief sources of attraction were the microscopes and the breech-loading rifles, of which there was a plentiful supply. There were also many kinds of scientific apparatus, and a very elegant machine producing by electrical action a strong and continuous rotary motion. Of course all the sciences were represented, but an attempt to convey scientific knowledge entirely failed. Professor Cobbold having been asked to give a lecture on entozoa, many specimens of which were exhibited at the microscopical stands, was quite ! unable to attract sufficient attention or command sufficient silence to enable him to proceed. The I place was too large for a voice to be generally heard, and the company were too much bent on enjoyment, and after the learned professor had spoken for a few minutes with all the physical force and demonstration in his power, he was compelled to retire. Side by side with the exhibition build ing was the refreshment tent, containing some thing like half the area of the ball, and very beautifully and appropriately decorated, in strong contrast with it. It was approached from either end of the ball by a covered passage, and was as delightful a change from the busy scene there as could possibly be made. Along one side of the tent were the ample provisions for refreshment provided on the most liberal scale. In the middle was a large space of green sward, with growing shrubs and a fine pyramid of flowers rising around each of the poles which supported the roof of the tent. Along the other side was a rockery covered with growing farns, amongst which the water tumbled in many a miniature waterfall, giving an air of charming freshness to the scene. But the most remarkable thing was the light which fell upon it. At each end of the pitched roof of the tent was a large lamp of Larkin's patent for the consumption of magnesium. The light from these lamps, which were not very dazzling to look at, was like a gentle daylight, wanting indeed in perfect steadiness, and reminding one of moonlight, but far stronger than any light that has over been reflected from our satellite. Yet it had a blue look as it fell upon the faces of the assembly, and on the first glance gave a rather cadaverous appearance to us all. But a good deal of careful comparison induced me to believe that the blue ness was exactly like that which early daylight seems to have when it struggles through the blind and falls on the white surface of the paper while the midnight lamp is still burning, and the night's literary labours have been protracted to the dawn. (rnox oua °wig RE Dame). SECTION A.-MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE. Here Mr. Fleeming Jenkin brought up the Report o the committee on Electrical Standards, and the Prerident of the Association (Mr. Goode) communicated a letter from Professor Mateucci on earth-currents. In Section ll—Chemical Science—the papers read were merely technical, though two of them—" On Ozone," by Dr. Danbeny, and "Disinfectants," by Mr. W. Crookes, were more practical. Br.cnom C.—GEOLOGY. Amongst others a paper was read by Mr. Spence Bata, entitled " An Attempt to approximate the date of the Flint Flakes of Devon and Cornwall ; " one by the Rev. P. Brodie, " On the Corelation of Lower Lies at Harrow-on- Sour, Leicestershire, and the Ocourrenoe of the Remains of Insects there ;" and one by Mr. Topley, " On the Geology of Bess Yorkshire." Bacrioi D.—BIOLOGY. There sou a very buge attendance of members and visitors to bear the opening address of Professor Huxley, the president of the section. The crowd wu so great that a proposal was made to adjourn to another place, but the learned professor intimated that he had no power so mo- Wy the arrangements of the council. Professor HOILIT did not, as was expected, read any leberied essay, but delivered some verbal remarks in trAnctory to the proper business of the section. He de- THE miaow SA 1I EVENIM ' 1866. fined the ppeeooys upon which, is his opinion, biebilizte °tight to b.a , te their attention, holding it essential that they should poison a knowledge of unliving things, ad should be acquainted with chymistry and physic, but that it wea not their place to inquire into the o r ig in of man. At the same time, although various opinions might be entertained ea to the Darwinian theory, lie be lieved the name of the &litho, would always be handed down with honour es that of a man who tried to eluci date so grave a question. Professor Huniphry, Mr. Wallace, Sir J. Lubbock, and other gentlemen offered sonic remarks in the same spirit which had pervaded Professor Huley's address, and the papers in the list were then prom .Ued with. Of these, the Int and most interesting wan one by The Rev. F. W. FARIILII. of Harrow, which was " On the Teaching of Natural Science in Public Schools." While admitting the priceless value of the study of &maim, he said there was a time in the education of youth when it wsa an unmitigated failure, and that the obvious evil might be removed in great measure by the bond fide introduction of scientific study. After a certain age, youths wbo had one through Greek, Lavin, mathematics, and the modern languages + ought to have a fair opportu nity of studying sure of the sciences bearing on the pro fessions which they intended to follow. Lord AN BERLZT and other gi.ntlemen present supported the recommendations put forward in Mr. Farrar's paper. Stenos D.—DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY. In this department, under the presidency of Dr. Hots ▪ Mr. Jolts Devr, DLD., F.R.S., read a paper "On the Colour of Man." After enumerating the varieties and colours of the human race, and their connection with lati tude and climate, he proceeded to the consideration of the probable causes to which the difference of colour was to be referred. Of these he placed first, exposure to the sun's rays ; next, warmth of climate and an average high tem peraturep=hout the year, under the influence of which there a to be a tendency to the accumulation of carbon in the system, as indicated by the little difference of colour of the arterial and venous blood under the expo sure of a high temperature. He adverted to hereditariness or ativiam as deserving of attention in considering the colour of races, and more especially its importance as to the great cpestion of unity or difference of race sb origine how, if climate should be found to have greater effects than blood in modifying colour, unity might be inferred, and rice versa. SECTION D.—DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY. In this department Dr. Jan. HUNS read a paper on the principle of natural selection applied to Anthropology, in reply to views propounded by some of Mr. Darwin's disciples. He contended that Professor Huxley and Mr. WaLace had put an improper construction on Mr. Darwin's works, when they represented his theory to be that man originated from an ape or monkey. Dr. Hunt's view of the subject was that man had originated from • plurality of sources, viz., from many and various apes or monkeys. Szerrote E.—GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOLOGY. In this section Sir CHABLIS NICHOLSON presided at the Mechanics' Hall, where it holds its sittings. The hall was crowded in every part ' • indeed, there was not standing room. The desire to hear from Mr. Palgrave's own lips • description of his travels in Arabia drew the bulk of the members and associates to this section, which is generally regarded as • most interesting one. Mr. W. G. PaLeitavg delivered a long and interesting address to an andience of at least 1,200 persons. He mid he was astonished during hie travels in the East at the ignorance which prevailed in those countries about Europe. Even in Damascus he had heard the whole of Europe reduced to one confederate kingdom governed by seven kings, who iulininistered the affairs of the villages forming Europe. However, to an Arab from Central Arabia the ideas of Englishmen as to him would not appear, more correct. As illustrative of the ideas that prevail in the east of Europe, be told the following anecdote :—At the time peace was concluded after the Crimean war he was the guest of a chief in Syria, who said to him that he was glad to hear peace had been established between the emerors of France and Europe. He (Mr. Palgrave by appearing ignorant of the fact induced the chie f to give his views of the cause why peace was concluded, which he did in the following terms :—lt had pleased heaven to bless the Emperor of the French with a son, whereupon the Emperor of France ordered the village of France to be illuminated and guns to be fired. The Emperor of Russia looked out of his window, and seeing the village of France illuminated, called his prime minister and asked him the cause of this. On being told, he said, " Well, we are all Europeans and Christians, so let Russia be illuminated, and letguns be fired in honour of the event. The Emperor of the French, on looking out, saw the illumination in Russia, and sent to know why Ramie was illuminated. On being informed it was in honour of the event that had taken place in France, namely, the birth of a son to the Emperor, he sent to the Emperor of Russia, and asked him to become godfather of the boy, and the two Emperors consequently met at the pariah church half-way between the two countries, and there made it up, and a truce was agreed to. He then ex plained that there was a perpetual and determined feud between the northern and southern inhabitants of Arabia, which led to frequent fights, the northerners fighting under a white flag, and the southerners under a red one. So great was the hostility that • southerner meeting a northerner would pick up a white flower and trample it under foot, the northerner would trample on a red one, wools ensued, then stones and blows. In connexion with this hostility, a story existed in the country of this kind, where the two parties were ranged opposite each other and high words were going on, when a young man worn with fatigue rushed to the front and recited some verses, which be (Mr. Palgmve) had read, and they were very beautiful, and told the young man's love for a lady of the opposite party ; he having concluded, a beautiful girl then rushed to the front, and in her turn recited some impassioned verses. The two then, in the approved fashion of lovers, rushed into each other's arms, and fell down dead clasping each other. The feud was hushed, and the parties agreed that those whom death had joined should not be separated, and so a grave was dug on the spot, and the two were buried clamed in each other s arms. The inhabitants of the north he de scribed as having quite a Jewish appearance, and so strict in their observance of the Koran that the use of tobacco was forbidden, as the Koran did not allow the use of any thing that would intoxicate. In the south the people were round headed, and there was nothing of the kind, they having no more religion than the negroes. Aa a proof of the strictness with which the use of tobacco was con demned, he instanced the case of the Arabian Chancellor of the Exchequer, who having been found smoking in his own palace, was, in spite of the efforts to the contrary of the Sultan, at once beaten to death. The Arabs were not quite so particular with regard to strangers, those not born in the country, but he never offended his hosts by smoking his pipe, although he did it privately. There was equal strictness in the matter of religions worship ; this was enforced especially in the capital, where every one had to attend the mosque, and this was fortunate for him, foe when he was under sentence of death he escaped from the town during the evening ser vice, when the guards were absent from the gates and at the mosque. Every one belonging to a mosque had his name called out, and must answer in Arabic, "present." If he was not there a cominiadon, armed with pain sticks, went to his house, asked why he was absent from the mosque, and they then proceeded, as they called it, to " purify his hide ;" a process that may be readily under stood, seeing the instruments necessary to it in vigorous hands, palm sticks, and • convenient hide. The country to the north and the central was comparatively barren, it bad no river, and was utterly unimmovable, as were the people themselves. In the south the country was ex tremely fertile, and the people much more impressible and improvable. The Arabs proper, not the Bedouins (who were the gipsies of Arabia), were most honest ; for a year and a half he had travelled, carrying valuables and • con- siderable sum of money, certainly hidden, but only amongst his other property, and not under lock and key, and he had never lost a single article, and when any of thZ patients he attended heard he was about to leave the villages, they would harry to him to pay if be had cured them, the medical art being there carried on on the prin. elide et "No cure, no pay." If any medical gentleman, or any gentleman with a very limited medical knowledge, could not get on at all here, he might do well in Arabia, for in the Mayfair of the capital a house with three rooms and a kitchen, a garden in front with • tree in it, and every convenience, only fetched • rent of Is. 2d. a month. That was the rent and character of the house which the Sultan gave him, and he might here remark, that the Sultan subsequently offered him a much larger house and grounds, together with " domestic felicity," but bad he accepted this offer, and taken one or more wives, as was there allowed, he could never have left the country, the bonds which joined • man to his partners there binding him also to live there. He thought parents here would not care to send their children there for they would not be allowed to play at m arbles or anything of the kind, the only amusement permitted to them being to perform a mimic of the reli gious service of the mosque. Having thanked the audience for the attentive hearing which they had given him, he resumed his seat amidst a tremendous round of applause. On the motion of Sir R. Meacflisoz, • vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Paigrava, whose re-appearance to acknowledge it was the signal for another burst of hearty applause. Mr. JOHN CRAWFORD contributed an interesting paper " On the migration of cultivated plants in reference to ethnology." A vote of thanks was returned for the paper. Remote F.—ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATISTCS. In this section, Professor Wltuaneole brought up the report of the committee of the British Association on scientific evidence in courts, which in substance stated that in 1832 a committee of the association recommended that in cases where scientific matters arose, judges should have associated with them scientific men as assessors, whose opinions should be taken before decisions were come to. No legislative action had been taken on the point, other courts of law were still at the mryof • class of scientific witnesses, who might be called ' active witnesses," who temilled on either side with • tendency to the side of the ques tion on which he was retained, his evidence being thus confined to one view of the matter. It so happened, there fore, that the best class of scientific men declined to give evidence in the courts, as it was inevitable that they should be pythons and might be premeds; un truth and tnjuetioa No reason was shown why the existing partial whores should be planed in the position ,of arbiters of cams at law. The system oscillated between ' two points ; eensidered imparnally it =lett advance the Walt of untruth, and if taken as partial it was prac tioslly neutralised. What the committee desired wee that certain skilled persons should be attached is indepen dent petitions to the courts, and bold the character of judicial witnesses; and their action might tend to limit the operation of the active and partial witnesses. They could test the accuracy of the evidence of those witnesses. Thais judicial witnesses would confine themselves to the special matte ton which they were expert, and not inter jure generally in cane. Another sugg•estMn was that dges should be assisted by assessors instead of judicial In a discussion which followed , Mr. F.Dvnu HILL urged I that there should be assesson and judicial witnesses also Bic J. Bownutc hinted that the probable obstacle to the adoption of the proposed system was the supposed om- nismenoe of the judges Professor LEONE Levi read the report of the committee of the association "On Uniformity of Weights and Measures." It stated that during the year steps of great importancehave been taken to _promote the adoption of one common decilastem of weights and measures both at home and abroad. Professor LEON' LEVI submitted the report of the com mittee of the British Association on uniformity of weights and measures. The report explained very fully the pre sent position of the metric system and the progress which had been made during the past year. The committee looked forward to the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1867, and to the meeting of the International Statistical Congress which was shortly to be held at Florence, an occasion when international conferences on the question of uniformity of weights, measures, and coins might be held with advantage. At home the committee stated : "The law is in a very anomalous state. Although the Metric Weights and Measures Act of 1864 has rendered per missive and legal the use of such weights and measures, the inspectors of weights and measures are by law bound to seize any such weights and measures not duly stamped; and since no means are now adopted for stamping them, the Act is rendered inoperative. Seeing that the system is being extensively introduced in many arta and manufactures, and in commerce generally, it is much to be desired that the law on the subject may speedily be amended. The adoption of the metrinl system was advocated by Mr. Yates Thomson, Mr. Fellowes, Mr. Stoney, Dr. Tom linen, ha Mr. Yates explained the' instrument of Mr. Casella, mentioned in the report. Mr. Casella also spoke on that subject. SzcnoN G.—MECHANICAL SCIENCE. A paper, which raised some rather animated discussion, was read by Professor Reliance, " On the influence of Fric tion on the Cylinder on the efficiency of Steam," the prin ciple which he advocated being that the friction prevented a waste of heat which would otherwise occur. The next paper was by Captain NOBLE, R.A., " On the Penetration of Shot and Resistance of Iron-clad De fences," which stated that he bad recently taken port in some experiments on iron plates, which had been made by the Ordnance Committee, and stated their results. The experiments in question were directed to the solution of the power of resistance of iron plates to steel shot ; and though they had been only partially carried out, enough had been done to prove that in the main penetra tion we. the rule. The experiments had been made on 44 and 55 plates, with shells and spherical shot; and it was found that the plates might be perforated by heavy shot at low velocity and light and high velocity ; while the latter was probably the more effectual agent. These results had been obtained by direct firing ; and in regard to oblique firing, it was found that a much greater force of shot was required to perforate. The diffe rence between cut-iron and steel shot wu marked in fa vour of the latter ; and in fact it was almost useless to employ cast-iron projectiles against armour plates ; but Pallinw's chilled iron was found to be as good as steel ; the latter would be used only for shells. In regard to the form of shot, the pointed-shaped was found to be superior both to the flat-head and the hemisphericaL On the whole, the result of the experiments which had been mad, was that iron plates could be, as a rule, penetrated by steel projectiles fired from a 12 ton gun, whether heavy at a low velocity or light at a high velocity. This paper was well supplemented by a communication from Captain Galton, R.E., on the Chalmer'a target, and another from Captain Wynanta on barytic powder. In the discussion which ensued, it was stated by Captain Calton that the latest iron ship builtbyithe Americans, the Donderberg, was ship-rigged, stood out of the water, and carried broadside guns, her sides being sloping ; she had only one fighting deck in her bull; and this description was confirmed by the Marquis of Lorn. In reference to some severe strictures which had been made by the presi dent on the defective state of our national defences, Ge neral Lefroy elaborately defended them, stating that our war-ships were superior to those of all other countries, our guns in advance of all other artillery, and our fortifica tions the admiration of foreign scientific officers. THE CHOLERA. On Thursday the registered deaths from cholera were 38, being an increase of 3 over Wednesday. On the same day the deaths from diarrhoea were 17, being an increase of 3 also over Wednesday The following are the classified returns : Cholera. Diarrhoea. West districts North districts Central districts . Bost districts South districts 2 1 ~. 28 .. 9 Total in London . 38 1/ From representationsmade to the Mansion-house committee yesterday by various local authorities in infected districts, it would appear that generally speaking, with an exception here and there, the epidemic continues to subside, that there are fewer deaths in proportion to the attacks, but that with leas mortality there are more cases of diarrhea. Still the local committees concur in stating, from personal experience and observation, that there is a vast amount of distress consequent upon the visitation, which isaggravated by the want of work in the shipbuilding trades along the Thames, especially at Poplar and MiUwall, and that the fund raised by the Mansion-house Committee is most op portune, even though confined in its application to the relief of those suffering from cholera. rp to last evening the committee had voted in all, since the commencement of the fund, upwards of 5,0001. towards the relief of the dis tress, of which 5231. was granted yesterday, and 42 al . the day before, which has been, and is being, expended in all cases through the agency of local committees. On Thurs day the Lord Mayor paid a visit to an auxiliary hospital for cholera patients and convalescents which had been on foot within the last few days in Commercial-street, White chapel, at the expense chiefly and under the auspices o f a committee of gentlemen, of whom Mr. E. H. Palmer, a director of the Beals of England, is at the head. A. large unoccupied warehouse of three stories, and nearly new, has been adapted for the purpose. The matron and nurses are all Sisters of Mercy, to whom ministering to the sick and poor is a labour of love. The Lord Mayor went alone, and in a strictly private way, and though the hospital had only been improvised within the last woek, he found it it good working order. In all cases the Mansion-house Committee require from the local authorities to whom they make grants strict accounts as to how the money is expended, not wishing at the same time to tie their hands in the distribution, which the leave to their discre tion and judgment. The fund col up to last even ing amounted to about 15,0001. From a return made to the Bethnal-green vestry, by Dr. Sarvis, the medical officer of health, it appears that the total number of applications at the dispensaries estab lished in the district of Bethnal-green during the outbreak of the epidemic is 14,000. Rather lies than 300 of these cases were cases of cholera ; the deaths have been 72. The vestry have secured 24 beds at the new hospital under the care of the Sisters of Mercy, in Con.inercial-street, Spited fields, and six beds at an establishment at the Green, at the other end of the pariah. Of the 24 beds at the Commercial street establishment only six are at present occupied. A house bas been appropriated at the Green for the reception of the children whom it is desirable to remove from in fected homes. No new cases of cholera had been admitted at Bethnal-green Workhouse during the week ending on Tuesday last. On the previous Tuesday 24 cholera cases were in the wards. Of these, two died, three were dis charged cured, 12 convalescents remain in the house, and seven are under treatment. Last night's Ga:ette states that the Bight Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have received, from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Lisbon, announcing the following regulations of the Lisbon Board of Health :—By decree of the 23rd ultimo Southampton, Liverpool, and Llanelli were declared to be ports infected with cholera, since the 14th of July ; and the English ports in the English and Irish Channels to be only suspected ports from that date. By decree of the 27th of July last all the ports in England and Ireland were declared to be suspected ports, with the exception of the three above mentioned, viz., Liverpool, Southampton, and Llanelli, which still continued to be infected. By decree dated the 3rd of August, the Board of Health de clare that the ports in Scotland are not included in the number of those declared to be suspected of cholera by the above-mentioned decree of the 27th of July ; and by decree of the 6th of August no quarantines, whether they be classed as rigorous or precautionary, imposed upon vessels arriving from any ports, either infected with or suspected of cholera, sha ll be accepted as such, unless they are undergone at the port of Lisbon. Cholera still lingers about Sunderland and Hartlepool. At both places deaths in consequence occurred on Thurs day. FaLmorr a, AUGUST 24. —The William Duthie of Aberdeen, from Sydney, 92 days, was off this port this morning with gold to the value of 14,3841.

'TSB POLICE 4.70M2Vt MANSION-HOUSE. A young gentlemen named John &ebb was summoned before Sir B. Carden, at the Induce of the Alexandra Saloon Steam Packet Company, for baying unlawfully re fused to deliver up his ticket, or to pay his fare on board one of their vessels upon a journey from Gravesend to London. Mr. Wickens, the solicitor to the company, attended in rapport of the complaint, which involved • question of con siderable importance to the public. It appeared from the evidence of Edward Crendy, a ticket collector in the service of the company, that on the day named in the summons, upon the arrival of the Alexandra at London-bridge he demanded the defendant's ticket, when he told him that he had lost it. lie then demanded the fare, but the defendant refused to pay it, upon which he gave him in charge , and he WU taken to the Seething-lane police-station, but the defen nant gave his address, and the inspector on duty retuned to entertain the charge, and the present summons was then taken out against the defendant. Sir it. Carden expressed his opinion that whatever the merits of the came might be, the oompany had no right to give the defendant in charge, and he thought the in spector had done quite right in dismissing it. All the company had a right to do was to get the address of the party and summons him. Mr. Wickens urged that under the company's act of parliament they were justified in giving • person into custody if he refused to produce his ticket' or to pay his fare. It was impossible to know whether • correct address was given, and the oompanT were defrauded to an en ormous amount by persons travelling in their boats with out paying their fares. The defendant, in answer to the complaint, declared that he had paid his fare, and he culled • young gentleman who accompanied him on the journey, and he swore paid tively that be himself paid the ticket collector with two sixpences, the fare being • shilling, and that Mr. Crabb gave him a florin, and the ticket collector cave him the two sixpences in change. The defendant said that he did not miss his ticket until just as the boat arrived at Lon don-bridge ; bathe, of course, objected to pay the fare a second time. Sir R. Carden inquired of Mr. Wickens whether, after the statement made by the defendant and the evidence given by his witness, he should persist in pressing the ems. Mr. 'Wickens said he should submit, that even supposing the case to be as stated on the part of the defendant, of which he had no means of judging, the defendant was still guilty of an offence under the company's act by not pro ducing his ticket or paying the fare. Sir R. Carden observed that it surely ought to be taken into oonsideration whether there was an intention to de fraud. If the defendant had really paid his fare, of which fact he did not think there could be much doubt after the positive evidence he had brought forward, be thought be should hardly be justified in indicting a punishment upon him merely because he was unable to comply with the strict letter of the act of parliament. Mr. Wickens said that be felt compelled to press for an adjudication under the act of parliament, and he observed that even supposing the ticket had really been lost it might have been us e d by some other passenger, and the company would still be defrauded. Sir R. Carden then said that in his opinion the company had not established the charge against the defendant, and he should therefore dismiss the summons. SOIJTHWARK. Williams Johnson, a tall, rnffianly-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with maliciously wounding Robert Sheldrake. 51 11, by striking him a violent blow on the head with a brick while in the execn tiot of his duty. The complainant,whose head was bandaged u p, said that about 1 o'clok that morning he was on duty in Mint-street, Borough, when he saw a riot outside one of the lodging houses, and heard screams of " Murder." He proceeded to the spot, and with some difficulty dispersed the mob ; but the prlsoner,who appeared to be &ringleader, refused to go away, and madeuseof threatening anddisgustinglanguace towards him. Witness was turning away from him, thinking he would go away, when he picked up a brick lying near the kerb and struck him a violent blow on the side of the head, nearly stunning him for a moment, and then he ran away. Witness and another constable, hi 55, who came up at the time, pursued him, and after considerable difficulty suc ceeded in conveying him to the station-house. On the way to the station-house the prisoner said he did not mean the brickbat for him, but for another constable. The prisoner said he had been exasperated very much br 55 M, who was always threatening to give him penal servi tude, and otherwise annoying him, and be certainly did threaten to serve him out one of these days. Mr. Woolrych observed that the cowardly practice of throwing missiles at the police had very much increased lately in this district, therefore something must be done to put a stop to it. He should commit the prisoner for trial. CHARGE OP LIBEL ON ONE OP THE NURSES AT THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL For the defence, Mr. Rabin contended that there had been no publication; and that the defendant bad been, so to speak, entrapped into making a statement, without being previously warned u to the consequences of his act.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BOY. - At the Mansion-house police court yesterday Henry Price, a boy of 13, and of remarkably good and in telligent appearanes was brought before Sir R. Queen in custody of Humpli;ys, • City constable, changed with embezzling three several sums of 91. 14s . Gd. 21. Ss., and V. 12s. Bd., the moneys of his employer, M , r. Morley, • wholesale twine manufacturer in Ironmonger-lane. It appeared that the prisoner's family were very respect able, and he bad been employed by the prosecutor for 11 months as office boy, and occesionally to receive amounts from the customers. He suddenly absented himself from his employment, and thin created elicitation, and inquiries were made, which resulted in the discovery that the prisoner bad received a considerable sum of money from different customers, none of which had been aooounted for, and he had succeeded in some Meloness in obtaining the money in a very ingenious manner. In one case it appeared that he had contrived to get a quantity of twine out of the warehouse, which he pent, without any order, to one of the customers of the prosecutor, and on the day he absconded he went to this person and asked for payment. He was told that the twine had not been or dered and was not wanted, upon which the prisoner with the utmost coolness said that Mr. Morley was very sorry for the mistake, and he would, under the circumstanc es, allow • shilling a dozen off the price of the twine, and he was paid 211 . 85., and gave a receipt. He then appeared to have gone to another customer M Bermondsey, and stated that Mr. Morley had a heavy payment to make on the following day, and would be p r much obliged to him if he would pity his aocount-9/. 14e. He was told that the money should be sent on the following day ; but this, of course, would not have answered the priso ner's and he premed so hard for the paymen t that the - mone purpose, y was at length given to him. Mr. Morley stated that the customer in question had dealt with him a considerable time, and the goods had only just been sent in. He was therefore very muck annoyed at the prisoner's conduct. Besides the cases re ferred to, there were several others, where the prisoner had received money from other customers, and whe he went away he must have had 121. in his possession, and as only three days bad elapsed when he was taken into custody, he should like to know what had become of the money. Sir It. Carden asked the prisoner whether he chose to give any account how the money was spent 1 He replied that he and another boy went to Epping Forest together, and at this time be had only 91. left, as he had spent 31. in London before he started. Sir R. Carden said that he could not have spent 91. in three days. The prisoner said that be did not exactly spend it all himself. He and the other boy hired a horse a pion, and rode about the forest during two days, and paid 21. for the hones, and enjoyed themselves with refreshments at different places. They slept together at a public-house, and when he awoke in the morning he found his com panion was gone. and as he was about to go for another ride, he searched his pockets and found he had only 11. 13e. left. His companion, he said, was aware that he had stolen the money that he had with him. Sir R. Carden—And I suppose he thought that he had se much right to the money am you had, and therefore robbed you of it. (A laugh.) The young culprit, very coolly, and amid the laughter of the court, said he supposed he did ; at all events he found that he had only 11. 13a. left of his W., and he thought he might as well get rid of that before he was apprehended. Sir R. Carden, after observing that it was a melancholy thing to see so young • lad such an adept in crime, said that he felt it his duty to commit him to Newgate to take his trial. The prisoner, who seemed to regard the whole proceed ing with the utmost indifference, was then removed from "s bar. THE WRECK OP THE BRUISER. There has been but one body found of the unfortunate persons who went down with the Bruiser. It I • is that of a youth, a pparently about 14 years of age, and it was drawn up on Monday afternoon about half a mile from the place where the steamer sank, from the bottom of the 1 , sea, in the net of a fisherman who, with another man, was for shrimps. The countenance of the poor boy was resat placid. He lay with the tight arm acr oss the resat and was partially dressed in check trousers, white socks, and a white shirt, with the right sleeve partly rolled up. The shirt was marked "G. H. Bird." This fact in duced Mr. Crecy, a local surgeon, to communicate with a gentleman named Bird, residing at Hull, and in reply he received a telegram from a lady requesting him to take care of the body of her son till her arrival. Mr. Creep , subsequently received a second telegram from the Bev. James Bird, of Hull, stating that be was on his way to Aldborough for the purpose of identifying the body. The jury returned an open verdict, there being nothing adduced to show that deceased was one of the parsons drowned by the wreck of the Bruiser, although there is no doubt as to the fact. It is announced that the body of a child was seen by some fishermen, but owing to the strong current running they did not succeed in se curing it. It is probable, however, that several bodies will he recovered, as some expert divers are going down to the wreck as the tide serves. Operations for recovering the salvage of the wrecked vessel were commenced by Mr. Lewis, of Harwich, on Wednesday morning, in the presence of Mr. Garrett, agent to Lloyd's. The weather was very favourable, but the tide ran ton strong to admit of much being done. The diver went down at 8 o'clock, and succeeded in cutting away the formost yard and other gear that prevented his descending to the deck of the vessel with anything like safety. It was necessary to suspend operations at 10 o'clock for the ebb of the tide. Boon after one, the diver, who had described ' this part of the bottom of the sea as being as dark as the ' grave, again descended, and after a couple of ho urs ' labour succeeded in sending to the surface the cook's house, the taupaulins and coverings of the fore-hatchway, ! and other articles ; but no bodies were discovered, as the r diver did not visit that part of the vessel where it i s sup ' posed many bodies are lying. ---*--- John Donaldson, of No. 54, Margaret-street, was charged on summons before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at Marlborough street police court, yesterday, with writing and publishing a libel upon Mary Ann Doane, one of the nurses employed at the Middlesex Hospital. Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, instructed by Messrs. Took, liiißowes, and Price, 39, Bedford-row, solicitors to the Middlesex Hospital ; and Mr. Ribton was for the defendant. Mr. Smith, chairman of the Middlesex Hospital board , was in attendance. Mr. Sleigh said—This is a prosecution against the defen dant at the bar for • libel on Mary Ann Deans, a prose cution ostensibly instituted by her, but in truth and in fact instituted by the solicitors to the Middlesex Hospital, by direction of the committee of that body. The circum stances under which this prosecution arises are somewhat singular. The complainant is a married woman, and one of the nurses at the Middlesex Hospital. The defendant was a patient at the hospital, and entered on the 10th July, in 20 bed in Forbes ward, and remaining until July 30. The bed No. 18 was near to this. No. 19 bed was occu pied by a person named Manning, who had been in the army, and who bad received an injury in the leg. Another injury to the same limb having taken place, this person (Manning) was received into the hospital as an in-patient. Now, on the 15th July Manning was con fi ned to his bed in the hospital, hie leg being in a cradle in the course of I ~,iyurii-Eairrenff RAILWAY. —The report 3f the medical treatment ;it was not only bandaged but sup- directors of this company states that the gross tra ffi c re plied with casings of plaster of Paris , so t hat in fact oeipts for the half-year ending the 31 st of July am ounted man was physically unable to move.
