During the afternoon spin,, of the officers and men came on shore, but the ship was cot in want of cosisor provisions of any kind. Her Majesty's ship Russell, Captain W. K. Hall, C. 8., entered the port of Falmouth just about the mine time as the Tuscarora did. The Russell took in 35 new guns at Plymouth last week, and on Friday was off the Limn', where the men were being exercised in gun and shell practice. It is said that she did not intend to return into port so early, but seeing the Tuscamra making its way there, they bore up for Falmouth. The Tuscarora received some despatches on Saturday, and had not sailed from Falmouth on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, when our parcel was sent off ; tho 24 hours would have expired at about four o'clock in the afternoon. Several officers were on shore at the American consul's office (Messrs.

A public meeting of the hop growers of Kent and Sussex was held yesterday afternoon at the Bridge-huuse Hotel, for the purpose of conferring with the trade in the borough of Southwark respecting the present method of weighing hops, with a view to coming to some arrangement as to the principle to be adopted in future, and also for the purpose of considering the question of the validity of the present system of contract notes which pass between the factors and the merchants. Mr. J. H. LIODIILLL occupied the chair. Mr. G. TURNER moved a resolution declaring that it was the opinion of the meeting that the present method of weighing hope, as practised in the Borough, is most unsatis factory, and that it was advisable that a customary allow ance should be agreed upon and established as • fair allowance to be niade by the seller to the buyer upon the sale of hops for the cloth in which they are packed ; that hops in future should be weighed close, and • deduction of 31bs. made upon each pocket. . . Mr. BURT, in seconding the motion, laid he considered the proposition a most fair one, and hoped it would be cordially adopted. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, observed that the resolution was not intended to apply to hops weighed after Christmas. - • A some a Iscurnon, it was agreed, on the suggestion of Mr. Wooutemr, that on all future occasion. the new clear hops ought to be weighed close, and words to that effect were added to the resolution. . . Mr. Hewtrr was of opinion that the proposition would not meet the assent of the trade, though he did not state that on any specific authority. If the system of tare was to be meddled with at all it should be placed on the full principle of free trade, just as in the case of foreign hops. Mr. PuNNErr denied that the Case of foreign hop afforded any analogy in the case. There could be no doubt that the present system inflicted a very great grievance upon the trade. _ . . The resolution was then put and agreed to, there being only five dissentients. Oa the motion of Mr. ELVT, seconded by Mr. T. HATES, it was resolved that the planters assembled at the meeting, believing that the resolution just passed contains a fair and equitable promise, will, as frr as in them lies, carry the same Into effect, and endeavour to induce all the other planters to do the same. Mr. Putraerr then addressed the meeting on the subject of the validity of the contracts between the merchants and growers, and moved a resolution to the effect that it was desirable that in all future cases the contract note should be received by both parties, the seller being enabled to demand of the boyar the names on the contract note, and the terms on which the hops were sold, so that in cue of any dispute arising it might be settled by en appeal to the courts of law. Mr. WooUsTON thought that such a resolution was wholly unnecemary—that the trade, like the great produce market trade in Mincing-lane, was conducted on honourable prin ciples ; and they had in Southwark a body of men whose word was their bond. If the resolution was good at all it could be good only against some miserable tricksters, who could be better dealt with in other ways. Mr. Putrererr replied that in Mineing-lane transactions the broker's book could be produced in evidence, which was not the cane in respect to the contract notes of hop factors. After some discussion the resolntion was adopted, and a committee of plasters was appointed to confer with the hop merchants in order to carry out the proposed alters , tams. LONDON. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1861. MUSIC. ROYAL F:NOLDIIR OPERA, COVENT-OARDEN• Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison coin menned their season ham last night with Benedict's ro mantic opera, The Lily of Killarney, originally produced under this management in February last. There was • novelty in the out, inasmuch as Mr. George Perron made his Ent appearing,* in this oompany as Hardrees Cregan, • part originally filled by Mr. Haigh. Mr. Perren'e suave style of vocalisation and sympathetic quality of voice were heard to great advantage in the expressive music which the coin ' poser has allotted to the lover of Eily O'Connor ; and in his ballad in the last act (encored) be crested a very strong and marked senestion-41 was, indeed, a masterly piece of cantabile singing. With • little more declamatory power, and greater command of stage action and gesture, Mr. Perron might take high rank as • dramatic singer. The opera west throughout with great spirit. Miss Louisa Pyne was as charming as ever in Eily O'Connor ; Miss Thirlwall was • ladylike Ann* Chute, and Lim Swan Pyae was impressive as Mrs. Cramp. Mr. 9•otley as Danny Mann both acted and rag with great dramatic power ; while Mr. Harrison as Mylarna- Coppaleen, rivalled Mr. Boncicault in the raciness of his Irish humour, and took the "tremendous header" in splendid style. This gentleman has really become an excel lent actor. The subordinate parts of Mr. Corrigan and Father Tam ware well filled by Mr. E. Duiesk and Mr. Patsy. The orchestra, with few exceptions the same as that of the Royal Italian Opera, was of unqualified excellence; and Mr. Mellon has reason to be proud of the artiste who respond to the baton which he wields as con ductor. Most of the favourite pieces in the opera were encored by the numerous audience which filled the house. At the closed the performance, " God save the Queen" was sung by the entire company--the solos being taken by Madlle. Pareps, Miss Louisa Pry), and Mr. Harrison. The opening night of the Royal English Opera gave every promise of • brilliant and prosperous season. THE MURDER OP A POLICEMAN AT ASHTON. At the South Lancashire assizes, A Liverpool, yesterday, this ales came on for trial before Mr. Justice Mellor. Ooosidersble interest wee manifested in the pe a/rates, and the court was crowded throughout the day. Only four of the men concerned were indicted, Barlow having tamed approver, and the others not being in custody. The pci• amen were Michael Burke (35), John Ward (36), Frederick Hepwell (25), and John Clay Johason (39). Mr. Bliss, Q.C. (AttorwyGeneral for the county), together with Mr. Kaye and Mr. Grinishaw, prosecuted ; and Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., Mr. Torr, Mr. Ernest Jones, and Mr. Roberta de. fowled the prisoners. Mr. Bliss, Q.C. in opening the case, said that the pri mmer. Michael B urke, John Ward, and Frederick Heiman stood indicted fur wilful murder, and Johnson was indicted es as accessory after the fact, for screening and harbouring Burke and Ward. and for oonealing them, knowing them to have committed the murder. In addition to the pri macies at the her there were also four other persons impli cated in the murder, but they were not in custody. Ano ther , named Barlow, also implicated would be as • WADIES. The prisoners Li r d the other person charged were all brickmaksrs, living at ass near Ashton.uuder-Lyne. The name of the deceased was WilliamjJump, a policeman, who at the time of his murder was on duty and in uniform. The murder was nen mitted on the morning of Saturday, the 26th June last, at • f or yard called floiallahaw Fold, in or near Ashton lie was killed by two shots which entered his breast about an inch and a half apart, paned through his body in • parallel direction, and lodged somewhere near the spine. The charge against the patios implicated in this murder was that on the night of Friday, the 27th June. they assembled together and armed themselves with bludgeons and pistols, with intent to destroy the bricks in a neighbouring yard, and to use these weapons against any person who should interfere with their committing this crime, or making their escape afterwards ; and that M pursuance of this intention and dingo they committed the murder charged against them. On the night of Friday, the' 27th June, Burke, Ward, Hepwell, and the five other toe*, I assembled at a place called the Ashton Barrack", not far from Clifford's brick-yard. They met there in different parties of two, three, and four, but previously they had all, or some of them, been at'a certain house where they charged the pistols with shot. Having met at the barracks, the whole eight men went to Cli ff ord's brick-yard, and there destroyed 16,000 or 17,000 bricks. Having destroyed the bricks, they returned to the Ashton Barrack', and tree thence they took a way across the fields and roads until they came to the field adjoining the fold-yard, where the murder was committed. In crossing the field which ad joined the yard the prisoners were met by two policemen, one Sergeant Herron (who would be brought before the jury) and the other the demand William Jump. When they saw the policemen the men walked in angle file, endea voured to disguise and conceal their faces by putting up their collar, and averted their heads from the officers as they approached. Harrop maw that they had something concealed under their clothes, and suf fered six of them to pan, but stepped before one of the last men, and said, "My man, what is the meaning of all this ? I find you here in this manner at the time of the morning." The man whom he stopped said nothing, but endeavoured to pass on. Harrop then said, " You have no occasion to fear anything from me if you are here about nothing wrong." The man then pushed Harrop violently away, and, upon being again held in check, he cried out sharply, • Now, men, now men, now," and the other seven men then turned round and commenced a most violent attack, during which they and bludgeons and pistols, and Harrop was shot over the eye. After the struggle had been going on for some time, • person named Williamson, who lived in • house adjoining the yard where Jump was murdered, sew Jump come through • stile at the corner of the house, and go to another stile on the opposite of the yard. Jump was staggering as though wearied or exhausted, sad when he got to the stile he stood there leaning upon the stump. Williamson then maw anothermannome after Jump through the stile ;and when be was about a yard or two yards from the officer, Williamson saw a flash and heard a report of firearms, as of a pistol, apparently coming from this man towards Jump. lie maw and heard • second Hash and shot, which, he thought, came from the same man. I Harrop who was standing near the yard beard Jump cry out, " Oh, dear ;oh dear," and going back immediately fa the direction of the cry he entered the fold-yard, and found Jump doubled up by the stile. Harrop asked Jump if he could speak, lintJamp could make no answer, and with the assistance of soother man, William Smith, he carried Jump into Williamson's house, where he died in a very taw 'ninon*. The learned counsel pointed out that one of the most important points of evidence against Burke was the finding of • piece of paper near the murdered man which had formed • portion of the wadding of the pistol, and this piece of paper bore the name of Burke, and was identified as a portion of • bill furnished to Burke by a be9rhouse keeper. It would be proved also that Burke was at the hones which formed the rendezvous of the pri mates, and that he assisted at the loading of the pistols, that he was also present during the affray, and that he after wards used expressions which implicated him in the attack. Burke had also made a confession which was somewhat at variance with the other evidence, and which represented that Jump was killed by one shot only, whereas it would be proved that two shoo were fired, and fired close together. With regard to Ward the evidenos would show that he was present during the firing of the shots, that he took an active part in the affray, and that afterwards be used expressions to the effect that both he sad Burke "fined into" Jump. It was also important with regard to Ward that two men were seen after the affray running over the railway bridge • that one of these men answered to the description of Ward, sod that the footprints discovered in that direction were identi cal with than of Ward. Though the evidence was not so strong against Hepwell, still it would be shown that he also was engaged with the other men throughout the affray. In conclusion, the Attorney-General said that if the prisoners went out with a common design that these weapons should be used in the way they actually were used, all parties to that deaign were responsible for such more of weapon", being either present at the time of the actual affray or amenories before the fact. All those who were present after the weapons were used, and were there aiding and abetting, were equally guilty with the persons who tired the shot, and whether the pnsoners were the person who so fired, or whether the shots were fired by some of the men not in custody. If the jury thought that the prisoners were there at the time, they roust hold them responsible for the results. The examination of the witnesses then commenced. The first witness examined was Mr. Artioptall, who was called to speak to the correctness of the map produced. Another witness was called to describe and elucidate a model of the plans spoken to. Thomas Barlow, bnckmaker, brought up in custody, was called for the prosecution. Ho was a member of the union, and said a short time before the murder Ilipwell went to his house and said there were some bricks to spoil, and asked him to join in the act. He and Hipwell went to Ward's, where he saw Renshaw and Gregory. Then they went towards the Ashton Barracks, where they were joined by Burke and Ward. By this time the number of the men assembled amounted to eight. They proceeded towards Clifford's briekfield, but before the work of 'puha- Lion actually commenced, they drank freely of whiskey and set a watch. Toole, Burke, and others began to tread down the bricks, and they spoiled five flab. When this was done they all went away in the direction of linden shay, and in a short time got to the some of the murder. This witness described the position of the pri soners when they met the policemen. He heard Samuel Gregory cry out, `• Now, men," when the collision with the officers took place; and, almost im mediately, he heard several shots fired. In about ten days after the murder Barlow was apprehereded, and brought before the magistrates. Between the time of the murder and his apprehension he met Johnson at a vault in Man chester, and be, with Hipwell, went to Johnson's and saw Burke mid Warde upstairs. They asked witness bow things were going on as to the smolt on Harrop and Jump, and be told them the latter was dead. When he was in the Ashton lock-up he occupied the next cell to Wards who began to speak about the affair, and said, "My shoes hare done me for this." When the prisoners were brought up at New Bailey, Salford, he (Barlow) had another ooriversa- Con with Burke and 'A'arde, who both said they had fired at the police. While confined in the New Bailey he occu pied the next cell to Wards, who said, "They are keeping Burke at Ashton. and he'll split on all the others." A cap foood on the field was identified by this witness as belong. Big to Wards. Several bludgeons (most fearful weapons were produced, and he pointed out which of those sticks each of the prisoners had on the night in I question. Another cap found was spoken to as the one worn by Toole on the night in question. Under erase examination Barlow said his brother, a police.officer, came to his cell in New Bailey, and while they were together the reward offered for the apprehension and conviction of the real murderers was made the subject of conversation. The witness was told that the person who could give a clue to the perpetrators of the crime would be rewarded ; and. if sot implicated in the actual crime, would receive her Ma jesty's pardon. He then consented to make • statement, which be did make to Ludlum, the police-officer. Geo. Herron was the next witness called for the prosecution. His with Jump waft on duty on the eight of the murder, and was in the neighbourhood of a place called flinalbrhaw fold, about two o'clock in the morning. This witness de scribed the prisoners when he met them. They walked is single tile, carrying bludgeons, the rods of which were visible under their coats or slope ; they also tried to turn their faces from the °filar as if they wanted to evade mord tioo. When six or seem of the eight men had passed the officers, llarrop went up to the one approaching him, and asked the meaning of their being there at such a time in the morning and under such peculiar circumstances. This, the lest of the men Audis' that he was likely to be cap. THE INTERNATIONAL. EXHIBITION. The curiosity of the west, with respect to the great Exhibition, appears to be well nigh ex hausted, seeing that the great excursion train brought up only 300 visitors yesterday morning. The schools continue to send respectable contin gents ; yesterday there were—Asprey Bech Na tional School, 51, expenses paid by Mr. Wan; Wee le yan Training School, Westminster 88, R. Kaye, Esq. ; farm labourers, Hatfield, 32, Marquis of Sa lisbury; Needlewomen's Society, Manchester-square, 27, Miss Barber ; Exeter-buildings Ragged School, 50, Mr. M'Garl ; Chatham Ragged School, 50, subscription; workmen of Messrs . Weston and Baily, Poplar, 250, by the firm. The general attend ance was a full average, and the various exhibitors exerted themselves strenuously for the amusement of the company. The Commissioners have decided that from the let September next the Exhibition shall close at 6 p.m. each day. The revised editions of the Industrial and Fine Arta Catalogues are now ready, and may be obtained on the usual terms by the trade. The highest temperature yesterday, as shown by Negretti and &mbra's patent thermometers, was :—ln the nave, 69.3 deg. ; to the galleries, 70.9 deg. ;in the western annexe, 73.9 deg. The read ing was taken at 4 o'clock p.m. The tempe rature was nearly 4 degrees higher yesterday than on Saturday. The following were the total numbers admitted yesterday, compared with the corresponding day in 1851 : tickets 3,948 Monday, Aug. DS tickets Payment and day tickets 64,171 Total 6906 Monday, Aug. 25 Tieason tickets 1 Payment Total 49,021 RATING THE REFRESHMENT DEPARTMENT OF THE EXHIBITION. Yesterday morning the Board of Trustees for the parish of Kensington held a meeting at the Vestryhall ; Mr. Churchwartlen Greenway 111 the chair, at which the con tractors of the refreshment department of the International Exhibition attended, for the purpose of appealing apinst being assessed to the parochial rates. Mr. Tindal Atkinsoc appeared for Mr. Morrish ; and Mr. Sleigh for Mr. Veillard. It appears that the Board of Trustees and the vestry of Kensington have recently called upon the contractors for the payment of the rates, F. E. Morrish and W. Sanders being assessed for the western or English refreshment de partment, upon a rental or rateable value of 14,2171., and C. Veillard and Martin Gulpet for the eastern or French refreshment department, at 14,6531. It is therefore a very important question to the contractors, as in the case of Mr. Morrish he is called upon to pay rates amounting in the whole to 9181. Is. 7d., and Mr. Veillard the sum of 9461. 6s. AL Mr. Tindal Atkinson, in addressing the board, maid that the first objection to the rate was on the ground of there being an interpolation in it. Although, under the 9th na tion of George IV., the board had power to amend a rate by inserting names that had beer, omitted, they had no power to insert property that was not in the rate-book at the time of the rate being made. lie referred to the lith and 7th of William IV., chap. 96, which provided for the one uniform mode of rating for the relief of the poor, and iu which it was madeeasentiol that the description of _property should form part of the rate when made. He next called attention to a very important point in the case as to whether Mr. Morrish was an occupier, so as to make him rateable ; and he read por tions of the agreement between his client and the commissioners, to show that Mr. Morrish was en tirely under the control of the commissioners. He (Mr. Atkinson) was of opinion that the commissioners were rateable, because they held the keys of the outer doors, they took money at the doors and had full possosion of the place. He argued that Mr. Morrish IVILS not an occupant, as he had not uncontrolled power over the place. In order to make a Man rateable he must have such control over the place as to make him virtually the owner of it. In the agreement his client was described as a connector. and he was nothing more than • contractor. He had only the right of selling refreshments during a certain part of the day, for which he contracted to pay five-eighths of a penny fur every person admitted. Mr. Sleigh said Mr. Veillard objected to be rated on the same grounds. He submitted that inasmuch as the rate was made in April and his client did not take possession until the let of May they could not recover. He also sub mitted that if the contractors were to be rated they must be rated as occupiers. He contended that their ease was acalagous to the cases of theatres and saloons. There the parties were not occupiers, but merely hold • license to sell refreshments. At the conclusion of the arguments the counsel and those interested to the cases withdrew. Mr. Brown then moved that the assessment be affirmed. He said that if counsel had questioned the accuracy of the assessment the heard might have gone into the matter, bet they had raised grave questions of law which were to upset other averments. It was the practice to property as soon as there was a beneficial occupation. They assessed gas companies and others in theism. way, and they possessed only a beneficial occupation. Mr. Peck seconded the resolution. Mr. Barnes was of opinion that they were not the parties to be •asessed. He thought they should adjourn the matter and take counsel's opinion. Mr. Green, the clerk, said counsel's opinion had been taken and they were acting under his advice. The resolution was then put and carried by a majority, two beads being held up to the contrary. Mr. Banging said there were other contractors in the Exhi halm. He wished to know whether they would be assessed' He said there was the umbrella and stick contractor and the contractor for the cloak.rooms, and be should like to hear of their being assessed. Mr. Green said the matter was under consideration. The counsel and the appellants were then called in and informed of the decision.

While the I struggle between Harrop and the man spoken to, as being the hot of the peg, wee going on, the officer beard the re port of a firearm, and be was immediately wounded above hie right eye. In a very short tune after the diet shot wit ner heard soother report, and perceived a bullet whizzing poet him. Darinli t the truggle the of fi cer distinctly saw Wavle, whom he wilily hooey' fora year be ßurke • bad known for two or /ears. Then= with whom Barmy was more eeptlehdly tamed. wrenched himself away mid ma awe through a hedge. The officer having poneemed biertelf of one of the bludgeons threw it at the fugitive and hit him on the forehead . Just at this time three shots were heard at a distance of about ninety yards ; the report came from the part to which the other men had rut. Immediately after the Sting a moan was heard, and the deemed en claimed, "O dear." When witame west up to the wounded awn he found it was Jump, sad be waa removed to a eeighbouring home, in which, in a few minutes, he died. After death small pieces of paper were found is the perforations made to Jump's wet. Oae of those perforations was on the left breast. Both the arms of wit. nem were very much bruised by blows from the bludgeons need by Ward and another of the men. Oeunsel for the ' crose-examised Harrop as to the natters of the ex • coonected with the shots spoken of. He said the shots were fired with great rapidity, snob as they might , have been had they come from a revolver ; but he could not say whether it ems a revolver or DOt lie hid Dever positively said it wee a revolver. He saw the Odd which Burke had ia his band. That was not, he binned, a evivolver, bat a pistol. He bed never said that the *me of paper found were " in the hales" el Jump's coat, but "in one of the holes." The wittier produced two bullets which were taken from Jump's body. - Samuel Daniel Lees, M.D.. wee examined far the prose cution—He was ailed to attend the dreamed immediately after the occurrence described by previous witnesms. There was • wound on the head, but not dangerous. A bullet was toned under the skin of the back. which was ex tracted. This bullet, the witness thought, was made of lead piping. He made • pat mortem examination of • more particular nature. On this examination Dr. Lees traced the course of the bullet, which bad entered under the wooed rib, passed on to the fourth, and per forating the upper lobe of the left lung aimed two quirts of blood to flow into the chest, which was found in • liquid state when the examination took place. The bullets ex tracted were described se being rough, and one having " • shank on it." This witness went to the New ihuley, Salford, to examine Wei de, and be found a wound on hit forehead. There was another wound found on the body of Jump, caused by • bullet entering at the breast bone and going in the thioal marrow ; either this or the wound in the lung wee sufficient to produce death. Dr. Lees went to the New Bailey, Salford, to examine Ward, and he found his forehead wounded in such a way as it might have been by the bludgeon thrown by and spoken of by Sergeant &wrap. Samuel Williamson, grocer, who lived near the spot where Jump was murdered, was on the night of the mur der disturbed by the report of • firearm. He immediately went to the window, and he saw • man firing again, there being three shots in all. He saw several men near the spot going through the stile near to which Jump was found in • dying condition. Willies:sem, a few hours after the murder, found • piece of paper which had evidently been used as wadding ; on this paper the words, "Michael Burke" were written. This paper dropped from Jump's ooat in witness's house, end could not have been blown there by any accident , such as a gust of wind. Another wither, whose mune was Smith, was called. lie lived very near the some of the murder, and en the night referred to, bairn two shots fired, be rose, partially droned himself, and went out, when he found the deceased Grouching on his hands and knees. He said, "0 dear." In entleavouriog to get up, he fell three CUM. Sergeant Harrop came up, and asked the dying man if he meld speak, but there was no reply. Jump was at once removed to Williamson's house, where he almost immediately died. Eli Ogden, who lived in Senallithaw Fold, said on the night of the murder he was disturbed out of his sleep by the sounds of angry voices, and co going to the window be maw four men, and in a while the fifth came up. Alter the five men had gone away be beard • shot at the end of the last witness's house ; and on going out be heard a man groaning and saying, " Oh." The wife of the lag witness being examined, corroborated the testimony of her husband. William Booth, another resident at Smallshaw Fold, said, he beard two shots, and then he got out of bed. He heard footsteps a short distance from his house. He looked through the window and he saw two men running towards the railway bridge. They were a few yards a part ; one was rather taller than the other, the tall man first. This man had nothing oa hie heed. They were run ning as fast as they could. i t was about • minute after he heard the second shot that he noticed the two men. Constable Dunn, of Ashton, proved that on the morning of the affmy be went to Williamson's house, where Ji.inp had been taken, and there he received from Williamson a piece of paper on which was written the words " Knott" . and ' Burke." Williamson, on being recalled, stated that he found the pito, of paper on his doorstep and gave it to the officer Dunn. He then noticed the name upon the paper. The witness Dons, in continuation, said the paper when he received it smelt of gunpowder. On the mime day be searched the prisoner Burke 's house. Cross-examined—He was on duty in the neighbourhood of the affray. He heard five shota that morning, first two and then three, quickly after each other. He was about half a mile away from the place. Thomas Ludlam, superintendent of police, said be re. mired information on the 28th of June which induced him togo to • cottage at Smallthaw Fold, where he saw Jump lying dead. He afterwards smirched the neighbourhood, and found in the field a large stick (produced) and also • brown cloth cap. He produced an account-book belonging to Knott, and a plaster cast of the footprint found at Smalcabewsfold. Richard Pickering, supenoterdent of police at Rochdsle, said that Johnson stated to him that he wanted to make • statement about this affair, and, being taken into the chief coustoble's office, asked him (Johnson) if he was to under stand that he volunteered a statement. He said he was. Witness said, "Then I must caution you to be careful, as it may be given in evidence; are you now disposed to make a statement!" He said, " Yea,' sod be then made • statement which witoess took down in writing. "1 want to see you about this matter ; about Ward coming to my house on morning after the affair—l mean Saturday morning. John Ward came to my house at wiz o'clock in the morning sod knocked at the door. I was in bed, but went down, and opened the house door. On open ing it, 1 found John Ward standing there. I took the key from my pocket, and went to my workshop, a cellar close by. Nlard said there bad been a row at Ashton with the police, and one or two of the police, he suspected, would be dead. About 8 o'clock Michael Burke came to toy (Alba, Ward being still there, and stated that Police-con stable Jump was shot and de ed, and that the other was not expected to lire one moment from another." Johnson sow said, ' Before Imy any more I will have a magistrate pre. sent." Witness then went out, and met Mr. King, assistant chief-constable, and brought him back to the office where Johnson was, and told him, in Johnson's presence, what be bad said ; Johnson then said, "When Burke cam* to the cellar, Ward said ' I shot first.' `No,' says Burke, ' I shot first, and thought I bed blown his arm off.'" John , non again desired to have • magistrate present, and wit nem brought Mr. Hegiebrittoro, • magistrate. The learned Judge explained with regard to thew con versations that Johnson's statement was °widow* only against himself and not against the others. The jury must not assume that because Johnson said these conversa tions took place, that they did actually occur. Examination continued :—When Mr. fleginbottoni came in, Johnson commenced rambling in his talk, and the magistrate took no statement down. On the afternoon of the 9th of July he was assisting in removing Barlow, John son, Burke, and Ward; previously the evidence had been given as to the paper bearing Burke's name. In consequence of Burke's request to a police officer, witness went into the cell, and Burke said, " I want to make • statement : I'll not suffer for another ; I'll tell the whole affair." Burke was toes taken into the office, where he made • statement, which witness took down in writing ; he afterwards read it over to him, and he mid it was correct, and affixed his mark as signa ture to it. (The document, as read by the learned comma in his opening statement, was then produced and real.) On the 10th of July Burke was in • cell at Ashton, and witness was at the door of the cell with him. Toole bad been brought into an adjacent cell, and Burke said, "The man in the next house is one of the two men whom I named yesterday." On the 14th of July Burke was brought out of his cell to see his wife, and he then offered to go with witness to show where Ward had concealed the pistol. On the next morning Burke was taken to Smallshaw Fold, end pointing out a place near the fold, said that was the place where Ward stood when he shot Jump; that Ward then ran atom: Oreemlane, and he (Burke) to the right. In cross-examination, the witness said the statement was not taken down word for word as Burke spoke it. It was, however, the purport of his statement, and Burka said it wee correct. The witness was questioned by Mr. Ernest Jones as to the state in which Johnson was when be made the Meta. merit which had been repeated. Witness said that the man appeared to have been drinking, and immediately after making the statement he rambled, and talked such iansanne that nothing more which he said was taken down after Mr. Eleginhottom came in. Dr, Leas being recalled, said he had examined Johnson whoa Mr. Hegiabottom was there, sod found him in • very weak sod de reseed rate ; so much so, that he recommended his removal from the cell. Joseph Knott, beerbouse keeper, Ashtoo-unier-Lyne, said Burke was at his house on the 10th of February last. He kept a memorsodum book of the beer get by his cus tomers; and es the 10th of February there was an entry what the name of lichsei Berke (the prisoner) for the [TWOPENCE amount of lie. 4d. The paper produced was in his hod writing, cad was given by kin to Burke. The court then rose, and the hearing of the *Mb was adjourned till the following day. The jury were locked up for the night, being aroortmedated in a neighbouring hotel under the supervision of the sheriff's offictrs. TKLEGRAPIIIC INTELLIGENCE. ourzz's istanAms.)

The mails were to leave for London at 2 p.m. AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND ITALY. The following is the text of the note addressed by Couut Rechborg to Count Karolyi relative to the recognition of Italy by Prussia : Vienna, July 26, 1802 . Monsieur le Comte,—l begged Baron von Werther, when he read to mei despatch ch:irging him to inform the Impe rial cabinet of the recognition of the Neo.ltslien kingdom by Prussia, to leave the documents connected therewith in my , bands, that 1 might place then before the Emperor. After referrieg to Berlin, Baron von Werther was authorised by his court to grant that request, and consequently I was able to submit the correspoudence to our most gracious sove reign. His Majesty charges you in consequence by these presents to bring to the knowledge of hie Majesty the King of Prussia bow much the Emperor Francis Joseph thanks the King for the resistance which In bad hitherto opposed to the entreaties which were made to him to recognise what is called the kingdom of Italy, and how much it is aka sin cere desire of the Emperor th at Prussia may never bare to regret, in her own interests, the resolution which she has nevertheless just taken to recognise the anceeie of the most violent revolution and flagrant violation of right and treaties. Your excellency can accomplish this mission of the Emperor through the kind istertnedium of Count de Berusterff, which you can solicit for that purpose. Moreover, your excellency certainly does not expect us to lose one word re epectiog the pretended " guarantees " which Prussia has notified, and of the" frank assurances" she his received at Turin. We think that these " guarantees" and " frank assurances" are not worth the scrap of paper upon which they are written. We even believe that on this point General Dnrando is precisely of our opinion.-1 am, ire., Itscaana. The Prussian reply to the above is as follows : Berlin, July 31. Monsieur le Baron,—Count Ksrolyi, whom I bate not been able to see recently, owing to the debates in the Chambers, has handed the annexed despatch to Privy Councillor Sydow, being a reply to our confidential com munimtion on the question of the recognition of the king dom of Italy. We thought we were not only fulfilling a federal duty towards Germany, but were especially showing considera tion and federal friendship towards Austria, by requesting from the Turin government as a preliminary condition of oar recognition, certain guarantees and assurances, the impor tance of which we certainly do not wish to exaggerate, bat which, nevertheless, when examined without prejudice, are not without value, and when, on the other hand, which is far more important than all Italian assurances, we have assumed towards the new kingdom of Italy and its eventual pretensions a moat determined position by no MOMS agreeable to the Turin cabinet, and which other European cabinets have appreciated in its full signification. If now the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs passes Over this last circumstance in complete silence, and main tains that the first mentioned stipulations are not worth the paper upon which they am written, we truly do not share the belief expressed at the same time on this point that General Dnrsodo shares exactly the opinion of the Austrian minister ; but at all even* from the reception of our amieal communication, we ham acquired the instructive experience that in future we shall be dispensed from all similar considerations of Austrian interests, unless they come within the limits of our federal duties.
