hparttng futtnignue. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. There was • " full house at Albert Gate this of tertoon, and the interests of layer. and backers were alike well represented. For the Cesarewiteh Honesty retained his pre-eminence as steadfastly as a horse possibly could do ; 1100 to 200 was offered to be taken in one bet, and had bookmakers been so disposed they could have done plenty of business on these terms; they, however, restricted their offers to sto 1, and this difference of a half point stood in the way of the horse being actually backed. At the counnencenient Blinkhoolie was supported pretty freely at 9 to 1, but sudde n ly au apparently hostile movement set in against him, and 10 to 1 was loudly offered. The words were, however, scarcely uttered before the odds were booked in " ponies" and fifties, and " Blink " soon resumed his former position. Singularly enough, Ar =tourer went through precisely the same phases of retro msoon and recovery, for at the outset 10 to I was taken freely, and, indeed, wee not obtainable without some difficulty, and afterwards 12 to 1 was offered. The friends of Colonel Knox's representative soon came to the rescue, however, and although the lost ground was not quite regained, 11 to 1 was the outside price laid; sad at this point a fair amount of business was transacted. For some time Montgoubert, who has been backed so heavily of late, was not mentioned ; but one gentleman, taking 2400 to 200, brought the " Frenchman" into requisition, and several backers followed suit on the same terms. Thalia, who has made but little noise in the market latterly, looked like coming mto prominence again, and met with trubstantial support at her quoted price. Lothario for once in the way was neglected, offers of 100 to 7 failing to find takers. Maid of Masham was also quiet till just towards the close, when 20 to 1 was taken in two or three quarters, but not to any great amount. Sealskin was several times inquired after, and 25 to 1 would have been taken freely, bus layers refused to advance beyond 20 to 1. Some good business was done about ()wain Glyndwr ; 4001. or 5001. being invested at 25 to 1, and he has every appearance of increasing furtherin favour. The names of litoileßlante and Julius were conspicuously quiet, but if backers were not :minus to invest, neither were bookmakers desirous to lay. Romping Girl was decidedly on the decline, 1000 to 30 being repeatedly offered without eliciting a response, save a solitary overture to take 400 to 10. One speculator offered to back King of the Fairies, but no one w ould men tion a price ; the nominal position of the horse, however, may be accounted about 40 to 1. Danebury again failed to make any but the feeblest sign ; a tanner was invested on Harpenden, and a " pony"on him and King's Crew coupled, but the last-named who could not commend a single sup porter. The outside division brought but little "grin to the mill." A small commission was executed in favour of La Dauphine, 2000 to 21$ being booked, and the Sane odds were asked for spin. Against some,half dozen others 1000 to 10 were offered in rapid succession without finding taken, and it was only when the extreme price of 1000 to 5 was met on the forlorn hope brigade that any burliness was done. At these ruinous odds, the owner of Bandy and Pintail backed each of those hones. Leases and Gauntlet were also befriended at a like price, the extreme rear being brought upby Westwick and Dolby at the almost unheard of figure of 1000 to 1 each. There appeared to be very, little disposition to speculate on the Cambridgeshire, the most noticeable transaction being the acceptance of 2000 to 100 about Gardevieure,but the layer immediately after wards offered the same odds and we saw the Cambridge shire winner of 1865 figure an the quotations no more. Blinkhoolie weevers' tunes inquired after, and 18 to 1 would have been taken to good money ; offers, however, never at any moment exceeded 1000 to 60. The Derby betting was also tame, consisting of a few occasional transactions which do not call for special remark. At the close the prim were es undermentioned.

The only other noticeable incidents were that Etoile Filante still further declined to 1000 to 30 offered, no takers. and the Duke of York, after having HS) to 1 quoted against him, found support at 1000 to 15 two or three Mines. For the Osaibeidgeshire Honesty was backed at 1000 to 45 three times, and at 2000 to 100 ; the last named odds were also booked about Gardevisure, and offered directly afterwards.

A conference of the friends of co-operation wan hel lat the Trevelyan Hotel, lllanclaster, on Friday. Mr. Timex, HCGBpt , M.P. presided, and them was a good attendance, which inclu ded a number of ladle'. Among the gentlemen present were also the Venerable Archdeacon Sandford, the Rev. W. N. Mole,worth, Mr. E. Vonsittart Neale, Professor W. S. Jevons, Mr. W. Morrison, M.P., Mr. G. J. Holysake, the Rev. T. r;. Lee, Mr. Archibald Briggs, Mr. Henry Pitman, Mr. Alderman Harwood (Bol ton) Mr. W. Morris, the Rev..l. I'. Hoy e, 4:c. After luncheon, Mr. Greening opened the pruceedings by read ing extracts from a considerable number of letters received from gentlemen who were unable to be present. Some contained practical hints, which were subsequently dis cutirdby the conference. Mr. 111 . oir E.', M.P., read a very lengthy and ably written address, in which he contrasted the great progress made by the nation in prosperity since the first Reform' Act, with the moral evils which had been developed at the same time, and pointed to cooperation and industrial partner. ships as the true remedies. The following abridgment of the hon. gentleman's remarks will show the general course of his argument. it is not enough to show that the nation collectively is enormously richer in iota than in 11412, and that every restriction on the production and gathering in of wealth has been removed—other questions have to be answered. In trade success for a nation at any rate must depend upcn chara cter. This or that Englishman or firm may possibly roll up a huge fortune in a few years by the help of puffing or trickery, lying advertisements, adulte rated goods, and short weight and measure, and get off unscathed to enjoy the profits of scoundrelism after their kind ; but there la no such fortune, no such retreat possible for England. Unless she can retain her character for hated work and upright dealing her trade must go sooner or later, and with it her prosperity and the wealth she has piled up and worshipped. How stands the I case, then, here ? At the end of the third reign of the trading class in these islands the British name is, we are assured by the most trusted organs of that class, at a heavy discount all over the commercial world, and we have a financial crisis at home which has lasted nearly two years, and has brought on a stagnation in the money market, mush, I suppose, es has hardly been known for generations. If we can trust the usual channels of information, a fear of investment has fallen on us through the recklessness and dishonesty of our trading and investing class, which keeps untoldmallions idle,while for want of funds our railways, banks, steampacket companies, nearly all combinations of capitalists of the upper and middle clamo are trembling on the verge of insolvency. Day after d ay r for eighteen months our journals have teemed with the reports of failures of commercial companies and the frauds and sharp practices of their managers. Again, as to the relations of the producers between themselves, are not employers and wurkpeople almost et a dead lock in every great branch of industry ? The government of the trading class his just left the great labour question to solve itself, and as the national consequence what do we see now in our factories, forges, mime, and workshops ? Is not a cry rising up from one end of our land to the other, that we English can in our day get no honest goods and no honest service for our money, nothing but false weights and measures, shoddy cloth, quack medicines, alopclothes, adulterated food, eye-service. What is the meaning of this unprece dented material success and this terrible spiritual decline lying side by side, the prodooo of the same period ? To me, looking from a co-operative point of view, the one to which indeed I have been accustomed for the last 20 years, the answer MOMS plain enough. There has been a fatal disease at the heart of our system of trade, overlooked or denied by • nation bent withal! its energy on making money, the results of which have been felt more and more as our trade developed, which has now left us as it were sick unto death. Fifty years ago the name of the English merchant was honoured over the whole world as the type of everything that was upright and trustworthy. What is it that has lowered our standard? Has that lowering any special connexion with the period of ' the supremacy of the trading class? I cannot but' think that it has ; and I will tell you, in a few words, the reason of my belief. The great struggle of this time, as we all know, has been the struggle for free trade. Probably every man in this room who is old enough to remember it sympathised, or took part with the free-traders in that struggle, and re joiced in that victory—it was a battle - fought in the interest of consumers, or the great majority of the nation, against producers—the small minority. The watchwords of the free traders were " competition and cheapness ;" and their adversaries, with their cries of " vested interest " and " native industry " (in other words " monopoly and dearness ") went down upon them. The reign of free trade commenced 20 years ago, and in its train has followed swiftly that vast materiel prosperity to which I hays already alluded. Against free trade co operators have no word to say. They recognise it as the true law of commerce ; they rejoins that their country has been the first to acknowledge and adopt that law. But when the means are mistaken for the end,— ' when " competition " and " chattiness," the mere weapons with which the free trade battle in England was fought, are set on • pedestal, and we are told to fall down and worship them ; when we find what are falsely called free trade maxims—such as " buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market," and "enlightened self interest the only safe regulator of human affairs," cried up as natural laws, the truth of which is rs undisputable as that of any law of science—we have only to protest that the worship is idolatry and the maxim lies. Cheapness is, at the best, • two-edged sword, as easily used against the people as for them. Look at the kinds of labour, disgraceful to our civilisation and Christianity, which this idolatry of cheap production imposes on women and children in Eng land, at the gangs in the agricultural districts, and the factories, which have in this very session called forth the Hours of Labour Regulation Act. Why the faithful endea vour before all things, without regard to moral considera tions, to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market, has resulted in that civil war between capital and labour, employers and their workmen, which has ended legiti mately in Sheffield murders, the Trades Union Com mission, the bankruptcy, more or lees fraudulent, of half our commercial companies, and the false weights and measures, which are a scandal to one retail trade. Loisseilaire has done geed service in many ways, but we English have turned it into a superstition , and thwe is one word which alone can describe its net results, and that is " anarchy." Why, then, you have a right to ask, have I spoken of • future full of hope and promise lying before the England of 1867? I must fix your attention now on that portion of our fellow-countrymen—the great majority in numbers, commonly called the working class—to whom at the end of the short thirty-five years' reign of the middle class we are, not without grave fears and dismal forebodings, about to entrust something like their fair dime in the government of these kingdom& (After describing the success achieved by the co-operative principle in various part of England, Mr. Hughes con tinued : ) There stands the simple fact for timid statesmen and journalists to look at, on all aides, and explain away if they can. Retail trade ham become thoroughly rotten, and neither parliament nor public opinion , s nor the law corn* nor the whole upper and middle classes together could find the 'medicine for it. The working class took the matter in hand, and have already restored tone and health to the retail trade of half the great towns in the country, while they have worked out a system which will complete the core, and which the other classes of society are adopting pure and simple from them without altering • detail This they have done alone, with scarcely a word of council or advice, or any active help from outside. For remem ber that till within the last year or two you might have counted on your fingers the men outside their own ranks who sympathised with the movements or did not fear to connect themselves in any way with it. In the face of this fact, I own myself to some impa tience when reeding the jeremiad. of the metropolitan press on the "lap in the dark," to some indignation when listening in parliament to men in high position, as orators at any rate endeavouring to frighten society, already nervous enough from want of knowledge, with the picture of organisations of English working men " launching their votes in one compact mass on the insti tutions and property of the country." But distribution is but one-ball of the realm of trade. The most important, that of production, remain& Granted that the co-opera tive movement in England has solved the problem in the one case, what has it done in the other? Not much hitherto, but enough, we may answer, to prove that in it (in some of the forme of association that is to say) is to be sought the true solution of that tremendous problem commonly known as " the labour quertion." And I would first ask of all persons wbo doubt this in what other direction are we to look for any help in this matter? Arbitration courts, benevo lent marterbcol, I suppose will be the answers. Alas ! those who have been engaged in the struggle, or watching it with any care for the last twenty years, can scarcely now delude themselves into any belief that the labour question is ever going to be settled in either of these ways. Arbitration ! why the very name involves two hostile camps, two armies in battle array—ready always to grapple in the old style, and try a fall by strike or lock-out to prove which of the two is the stronger when the current of decision by arbitrations has been set ting against them. No man honours Mr. Kettle and the other gentlemen who have organised and are working boards of arbitration, more than I. They have done much good and will do much more, and I hope that every co-operator will help them whenever he can, though he may believe as I do that arbitration is and can never be anything more than • palliative. Can they dis band the two armies and make one camp of employers and employed? If they can, all honour to them ; the goal is gained, the problem solved. But in that case they cut the ground from under their own feet. Arbitration becomes meaningless. What we are at our wit's end for is. how to have no more disastrous disputes, not a means of settling them. Then, spin, for benevolent rnasterbood, I should be the last to deny its beauty and nobleness. Thank God, there always has been, there still is, much of it in England ; but the whole tendency of our time is to make it more and more obsolete and impracticable. At best, too, it rests on individual lives. Let a son suc ceed to • brunets, or a partner join a firm, who holds the orthodox doctrine of giving the minimum price for his labour and getting the maximum of labour for his money, and strikes and locks-out follow as surely so water runs down hill when a darn breaks. Besides, how much bene volent maaterbood is then going amongst m just now? Can may man ben name 5, 10, 90 ' fi rms lit which all is well between master and man ? Bet what we want is not a stream fertilizing • favoured spot here and there in a dam* land, but a system of irricatiac which shall carry water and fertility into every corner of the de sert. Besides these, if there is any ot he r solution than the co-operative one, I have not heard of it, for I suppose nobody at this time of day really believes, whatever he may write in newspapers, that letting capital and labour tight it out on the present lines, the legislature drawing up a solemn duelling code for them, and the rest of the nation taking sides as the instinct or prejudice guides them, is going to bring us peace at the last and universal prosperity. For England, fighting it out on the present lines, with such legislative help as I have indicated, means driving all our best artisans out of the country in the next ten years. True, they wi'l only leave the old country to take part in the WWI battle elsewhere. Eng land is only • little ahead of other nations in this matter—a little deeper in the war—a little nearer the issue, be that issue what it may. But the fact that our artisans will find no better conditions elsewhere after • few years won't help us. America and the colonies may perhaps be able to stave off the issue for a generation, but we can't—and if in the crisis which is now actually on at last, in this present year, 1867, we get quit of the bone and muscle of the country, and let our picked artisans go off, in despite of any life here except one of constant war fare, we shall never see them or their equals again in these islands. What proof, then, has coperation given us as yet in England that it can succeed where all other remedies have failed? I will at once admit that, if we look simply at the comparative result, of the two great branches of the movement, the attempt amongst us to introduce the prin ciples of co-operation into the realm of productive industry has been a failure. Every nation would seem to develop its own distinct character in this movement ; and it is in France that the associations of workmen have been most successful and are most widely spread ; in Germany that the system of giving credit to the workmen by means of association his spread with such wonderful results through the efforts' of Mr. Sbultze Delitach, while we are far ahead of both in our organisation of distribution and consumption. Still enough has been done, even before the latest development of the co-operative movement known as partnerships of industry, to show that, even without help from the other classes of society, there is good hope that the working class will realise for them selves that ideal of the co-operator—well being and well doing, moral, intellectual, and physical, placed within the reach of those who have no property but their labour. For here and there associations of working men have overcome the first difficulties of want of capital, want of knowledge of business, jealousy and impatience of control by men of their own rank, and the tremendous temptations to dishonesty which are suddenly thrown in the way of men taken suddenly from the bench, or forge, and en. trusted with the handling of money. (Mr. Hughes was greatly applauded during the delivery of the address, and on its conclusion.) Mr. ARCHIBALD BRIGGS, of the Whitwood Collieries, spoke to the first proposition :—" That industrial part nership is the true remedy for the evils arising from the dif ferences between capital and labour." He said their firm was the first which attempted on a large scale to cam out the principle of industrial partnerships. Their primary object was to fight against the evils of strikes and combs- nations, and the result was eminently gratifying. They were wearied out with the repeated strikes which occurred, and so they resolved to make a proposition to their men to divide a certain proportion of their profits amongst them. They set apart 10 per cent. of the profits as a fah return for their capital, and proposed for any excess of profit on this amount to give their men half. The first year they divided 12 per cent, amongst the shareholders and 2 per cent, amongst the men ; while the second (last) year they divided 13 per cent. amongst the shareholders, sad 3 per cent. t amilsn t the men. lie im thought, however, that the proved feeling between meters and men, and the undoub moral advancement which had been made, were even more to be noted than the material advantage which had resulted from the change. Mr. PYRAH, a miner employed at the Whitwood col lieries, confirmed the account of the previous speaker as to the improved feeling between the masters and men. He and hi. three boys worked at the colliery, and he bad already received 241. in the shape of bonus. (Applause./ Mr. VANBITTART NIALS, who said he was • theorist, and not practically acquainted with the working of in dustrial pertnerships, advocated their claims on the grounds of reasonableness and expediency. Mr. 0..7. HOLTOAKA said he supposed he had senti mental proclivities like other people hut he did not like to proclaim them in resolutions about indus trial partnerships. The resolution said that indus trial partnership was " the " true reward for the evils arising from the differences between capital and labour. He wanted to say "• " reward. They bad not got far enough to say more than this at present. Under the old relations of capital and labour the working man received the smallest amount of wsgm possible under the circumstances from his master, and he did the smallest amount of work possible in return. When he worked on the bench, be thought it a crime to do anything which would be of any benefit to his employer. (Laughter.) During the 22 years he (Mr. Holyoake) lard passed amongst working men, be never met with a person who had any different idea ; but we had now outgrown this kind of thing. He argued that it was eminently to the interest of employers to join these partnerships of industry on account of the increased rigour and sldll which men would put into their work. Mr. SIMPSON. as chairman of a co-operative store, waa well aequainted with the benefits of the 00-operstive system; but, as a Manchester cotton spinner, having sbotrisoo people de pendent upon him, he must say that be had been met with a serious practical difficulty at the outset as regards the formation of these partnerships of industry. Mr. Briggs spoke of dividing the profits over 10 per cent. with the men, hut bow were they to manage when the profits were nothing like 10 per cent? (Hear, bear.) The employer encountered all the risk in bad times, and it was hardly reasonable to expect him to share his profits with his work. people just at the time when trade happened to be most prosperous. Mr. W. MORRIE; said the ease laid before the meeting was hardly a fair one. During the last two or three years coal had advanced in price frem 80 to 100 per cent. Mr. Batons—Not so much as that; it has increased, and so have colliers' wages. Mr. MORRIB repeated that the experiment could hardly be considered applicable to the trade in this district, as nothing like the same amount of profit was available for division. ile;gthy discussion ensued, in the coarse of which the Rev. W. N. MOLLMWORTH said that working men really took their share of responsibility in bad times as well as the capitalist, since they had to submit to diminished wages. Eventually the proposition was agreed to, with the verbal amendment suggested by Mr. Holyoake. The next proposition (adopted unanimously, after discusidon) was, That it is desirablo to form an organised union of the friends of industrial partnerships and co-operation ." In the evening a crowded public meeting ova held in the Assembly Rooms of the Free-trade li T al j;er esided over by Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., who was su by most of the 'gentlemen who attended the con r erence. The room wee well filled by a mixed audience, the working class ele ment predominating. The Vim. Archdeacon Sandford, Mr. Morrison, M.P., and the Rev. J. P. Hoppa were among the speakers. Mr/WER BY • Putienn.—About eight o'clock on Saturday night the inmates of the Stockport onion work house were alarmed by the report that a murder bad been committed in the lunatic ward by • violent young man, named William Burns, aged 30 ; and that the victim was an imbecile pauper, named Issao Twigg, nearly 80 years of age, who was in bed at the time. Twi gg ' s w if e di e d in the workhouse on Sanday, since which time the old man' s . mind gave way, and he persisted inireeping his bed. Burns, who was in the same room, suddenly broke out into • pa roxysm of madness, during which he seised the leg of an iron bedstead which lay loose on the floor, and made • desperate attack upon the old man, during which he levelled • violent blow upon his head, splitting his skull and besmearing the clothing with blood. 1111 im becile attendant named James Gasside rushed to the old man's help, but he was not able to cops with his for midable umlaut, and was soon beaten down with the weapon, and the lunatic next proceeded to demolish the windows of the room, the noise of which brought help from other parte of the establishment, and with some dif ficulty be wee secured. Surgical help was sent for, and Dr. P. Downer attended to give the injured man what relief he could, but be was found to be suffering from &fracture of the skull, which terminated his existence at eight o'clock on the following morning. Garaide's wounds are, fortu nately, not serious. Burns was immediately placed in safe custody on the charge of murder, awaiting the result of the coroner's inquest. WIFE MURDER IN NORTHUMBERLAND.—MOR PITH MONDAL—John Marshall, a pitman, has been brought to the county gaol in this town, charged with the wilful murder of his wife, at the colliery village of North Seaton, on Saturday night. He had been drinking, and after his wife fetched him home he attacked her with a poker, smashing her skull in, and leaving the poker em bedded in her head. The neighbours, hearing the uproar, rushed in, and found the poor woman in • fearful condi tion, and she died shortly after they went to her seals tance. THIS FATAL STEAMBOAT COLLISION IN BARKINO RlACH.—Yesterday Mr. C. J. Carttar, the coroner for Kent, held a long inquiry at the Bose and Crown, Plum. stead, reapecting the death of John Kline Grouchy, seaman, on board the brigantine Eclipse, of Colchester, who was killed by his vessel being run into by the Bolivar, steam transport for the Abyssinian expedition, in Barking Reach, on the afternoon of Thursday last. The jury found as their verdict that the deceased died from injuries received through being crushed by the falling of the mainma s t on board the Eclipse, resulting from a collision with the Bolivar, in consequence of the negligent steering of the steamer, but whether the neglect was on the part of the pilot or the man at the wheel, was an ogee question, which the jury could not decide. 9PICIOIIB CAS t.—An inquiry was held by the county coroner yesterday, at the Boundary Hotel, near Liverpool, relative to the death of a gardener (Alfred W. Warburton), which there was some reason to suspect had been hastened by violence on the part of two police officers who had arrested him for drunkenness. The surgeon who had examined the body, wav of opinion that death had been caused by peritonitis, the result of violence, bet as the evidences's' not sußcient to implicate the edifiers, an open verdict was returned. THE POLICE COURT& BOW STREET. Patrick Cteninaham: ;1a1;;;;;,Irsa placed at the bar, before Mr. Vaughan, charged on suspicion of being con cerned in firing into the shop of James Reardon, inClinreh street, St. Giles s. James Reardon, of 10, Church-street, general dealer, stated that about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning he was in his shop, when ho heard a sound like that of the report of • pistol, and the woman called out that she was " bottled " (hurt). There was • bole like • bullet bole through the shutter (the shop being closed all but the door), and through the window frame. There was • round bole through the pane of glass, which was not otherwise broken or cracked. Witness gave information to the police. Between 10 and 11 o'clock on Sunday morning he saw the prisoner showing a revolver to some other men in Church street, and asked to look at it. Witness detained it, and gave him in cnstody , on the charge of firing into his shop. The prisoner said 'lt was not me." Witness did not know that there was any ill feeling between them. Mary Reardon (no relation to last witness) said she was waiting to be served when she felt something " hot" her in the right side. Her stays and other clothes " saved" it. There was a slight bruise in the place. She knew the prisoner, and did not think he bad any ill feeling against her. Polioe•conetable Frost, )(R E, who took him into custody, 'kited that the prisoner said he did not do it, but he knew who did. Prisoner—Did I not say a man named Halley' Witness—He mentioned • name. I think he did say " Ridley," or some name like that. The prisoner was remanded. A very respectable-looking man tome before Mr. Arnold with the following complaint : He said he lived in Dean's-place, Vauxhall-bridge-road. He was sitting with his wife and child at supper on Sunday night with the street-door open, when two men, who were strangers, rushed in. One of them knocked applicant's wife down, and the other then knocked him down, and kicked him about the body. Mr. Arnold—Did you know anything of the men? Applicant—Nothing. When they had done I called a policeman, and wanted him to take the men in charp, but he refused, although other persons had been gracefully treated. They gave one of these a black eye, and the other they beat and kicked about, but the police man would not take the men. _ Mr. Arnold—Have you got his number? Applicant—l have. Mr. Arnold—His conduct is very extraordinary. Ac. cording to your account you were sitting quietly in your house when it was entered by two men. You and your wife were grossly illtnsated. Other persons were also M used, and yet the policeman refused to interfere. Applicant—And after this the men came out in his presence from the public-house and challenged people to fight, and he never interfered. He said he could not interfere in the case of assault because lie had not seen it. —.. Mr. Arnold—l shall pant you and the woman who complains of violence warrants free, and in the interest of public justice I feel it my duty to issue a summons against the policeman for neglect of duty. GREENWICH. Thomas White, described as • blacksmith, of Milton nest-Gravesend, was charged on a warrant with deserting his wife, and leaving her chargeable to the parish of Greenwich. Mr. Jordan, assistant relieving officer, proved the chargeability of the woman to the pariah rates, and said that the prisoner had promised to come to tome arrange. went with the board of guardians, but had failed to do so. A brother of the prisoner here stepped forward, and said that he had only beard the previous night that the prisoner was in custody, but he had witnesses in court who would prove that at the time of his (the prisoner'a) marriage the husband of the alleged wife was living. The wife was then called forward, and admitted that on the 6th July, 1847 she was married to one George Driver, at Charlton Church, Kent end that on the 29th October, 1864, she was married to the prisoner. In answer to Mr. Trail! she said she lived with her first husband about two years. He was a seafaring man, and she had heard he lost his life at sea. John Potter said be knew Geor g e Driver and the alleged wife of the prisoner, having been present at the first mar riage 20 years ago. He knew the wife previous to this mar riage, but had not seen the husband, George Driver, during the past 17 or 18 years. William Richardson said that In 1857 be was working at Messrs. Scott Russell's, at Millwall, at the time of the launch of the Great Eastern, and remembered that George Driver, the first husband, was then working there as a labourer. He knew both Driver and the woman in oourt, the alleged wife of the prisoner, and that the first husband had also filled the position of nurse In the infirmary of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Trill said, according to the evidence given, it would appear that the first husband was living three years after the second marriage took place, and although such evi dence in a police•oourt was of no legal effect in dissolving the second marriage, it was sufficient to restrain the parish officers from advancing money to the wife, and from hold ing the prisor: rg rrionsible as her husband. The prisoner was then disc SWIMMING RACES.—Yesterday morning the 600 yards open handicap swimming race took place on the Ser pentine for handsome silver medals given by the members of the German Gymnastic Society.

Bo great an entry attracted a Loge assemblage of spectators, and many boats were on the water. The weather was fine, bat the wind caused a ripple against the swimmers. Those who bad a start allowed gained • yard in advance for every second, and the two amateurs at the scratch dived and made their way after the others. Cole had rather the best of the start, bet in • few strokes Lon; paned him, the two racing very fast towards the leading men. Collard maintained his long lead for a great distance, but at about 160 yards Long gave way to Cole, wbo was soon in the midst of the others, all lying close together, rendering the race • very exciting one. Eventually Cole overhauled Collard, and for a time it was doubtful which would win, so close was the contest, Joyce being nearly level with them. Cole, however, slightly forged ahead, and was hailed the winner by only two seconds. accomplishing the distance in 8 min. 5 sec., Collard being second, Joyce was ' third, but half • yard in the rear, Long was fourth, Devon. port fifth, Powell sixth, Warrington seventh, and Collins eighth, all these being pretty close together and well up at the finish. Mr. Woodstock made a very excellent han dicapper, and he also officiated as starter and judge. _ _ _ - - Tam New Lira Barr.—Despite the fact that the little raft, intended to act as a life preserver, and called the Nonpareil, has actually craned the ocean, and has been for weeks on. of the principal attractions in the Great Paris Exhibition, we have not as yet heard of • solitary steamer, packet, or peasengemarrying vessel of any sort being fitted out with a similar life-saving ap paratus. We have already on our seagoing passenger steamers, on our splendid tinder-box steamboats that run up and down the Hudson, on the always-in-a-wind-run for-the-nearest-port steamers that navigate Long Island Sound, every imaginable variety of utterly useless m etalled life preservers, in the shape of tubes, and tubs, and stools, and bundles of corks, and tin tobacco-cans or sardine-boxes fastened under saloon chairs and settees. That all these are utterly worthless or worse, some being mere drowning-traps, has been a hund red times proved. The lifeboats which these steamers are compelled by law to carry have never yet, in a sudden alarm of fire or collimion, been found of the slightest use; not but that the boats once safely settled on the surface of the water, might be trustworthy, but the truth is, (end every one with the use of his eyes can verify it • wore of times a day, by merely observing the way the boats are stowed on all our out ailing steamers and ships), that these minor craft, on which may depend the life of every human being the vessel carries, are slung so awkwardly, and so out of manageable reach, that in a panic, or even • moderate hurry, three or four of them are invariably swamped, even in • smooth sea. And yet now that a life-raft hes been invented, and been proved to be absolutely unswiunpable, for strike bow it may— sideways, edgeways, or bottom-side up—it instantly rights itself, we have not yet beard of one angle 'easel being fitted out with this most admirable invention. Surely, it seems to us that, until • better life-preserver is disoovered, every passenger-carrying ship or steamer should be fitted with life-rafts after the fashion of the Nonpareil.—New York Times, Sept. 16.

THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. Yesterday morning the 23 prisoners who now stand charged with the murder of Police-sergeant Brett, in the attack on the prison van on the 18th of this month, were brought from Belle Vne Gaol to the City Police-court under military escort, and placed in the dock. Mr. Robinson Fowler was the presiding magistrate, and as on the preceding days of the investigation there was a large number of the city justices and several officers of the Rth Hussars and the 57th Regiment on the bench. Mr. W. H. Higgin, deputy-recorder of Manchester, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Cottingham, barrister, and Mesas. Roberts, Bennet, and Ward, attorneys, appeared for the defence of the prisoners. Mr. Roberts again applied to the bench to have the handcuffs taken off the prisoners. He said—You observe the extraordinary quietude of the streets, and the utter absence of all ground of apprehension. I ask that that may be done. The men are there not only suffering from those handcuffs, but from the fact that they have not been out of their cells since they were first confined. Your worship's opinion expressed, as I understand, on Satur day, has been productive of no good effect whatever. They have been confined as strictly, and, if possible, more strictly yesterday than on any of the previous days. They come here not only manacled, bat jaded, and with all the circumstances which belong to the method in which they have been kept. I ask that the handcuffs may be removed. Mr. Cottingham—l support that application. I have not had the opportunity that my friend Mr. Roberts has had of ascertaining the condition of suffering that these urZortimate men have been in, but I can support the application which he makes now to have these unneceass7 and, unconstitutional restraints removed. I base my appli cation not only upon the &round of humanity to the pri soners, but on the assumption that the magistrates will have some regard to the dignity of the bench, and to the feelings of England respecting the proceeding by which this court has been scandalised. Mr. Bennet supported the application. He said—l have seen my clients, and they do cry out against the sufferings they have been put to unnecesaarily. As an Englishman, I ay oat that my honour certainly is some what sullied by the men having handcuffs on. It is the first time I ever thought myself a coward at heart, at all events the bench—l should not say the bench, because I believe it is not the doing of the bench, but that some officials or other have put the manacles on and kept them on. It is an act of dastardly cowardice, that is a disgrace to this or any other country. Now, lam quite cer tain of this, there n has been a necessity for it from the very commencement. These men have conducted themselves quietly from the first time they were brought before your worships. They were two hours unmanacled before you, and they showed by their conduct that they were desirous of keeping quiet. There has been nothing in their conduct from that time to the present which should lead you to suppose that there will be any distur bance whatever. I dare pledge my honour, which I yen• ture to say has never been disgraced, that these men would, if these handcuffs were taken off, be as quiet as any other persona sitting in this court. Mr. Fowler—l shall only repeat what I have said before, that nobody more regrets that any prisoners brought before any tribunal on any charge s hould be handcuffed. At the same time, for reasons which I have already ex pressed on a previous day, I feel I cannot interfere. Mr. Roberts—One of the men is mitering from diarrhcea, and another partially so. Wilson was in the hospital, and was suffering in the gaol the day before they came here. I sak you to consider. It is cruel—wickedly cruel. Mr. Fowler—Let ►medical man be at hand. Mr. Roberts—You must not go on until 7medical man arrives, or if you do, you must take the consequences of your cruelty. (To the prisoner ) — You are to be examined by a medial man, and I suppose you will lose your hand cuff, for that time. The evidence wee then proceeded with. During the crass-examination of a witness named Edwin Walton quite • scene arose in court. The witness said he had aimed a loaded pistol into cowl and would use it if it were necessary for his protection, but he denied he bad ever said he would hang all the prisoners, and especially Larkin. Larkin had asked him if this was a Christian world ; to which witness replied, be would have • fair trial, and that he (witness) would go to see him hung. This the witness repeated in court, and the statement gave rise to a peat commotion. The prisoners one and all com menced Miming, in the midst of which Allen sprung to his feet as if he were going to leap over the dock, and vehemently shouted, " It would take better men than Ts are to bang me, at any rate,"—an exclamation that was instantly endorsed by Gould, Nugent, and others. Order was, however, quickly restored, and the examination was adjourned until to-morrow. Several of the prisoners were unmanacled, and they made considerable noise in leaving the dock. Allen bad a cuff on one hand, and upon hearing • man in the lower gallery lay. "That's him," he put himself in • fighting attitude. The prisoners talked very vehemently amongst themselves, and seemed much excited by the evidence of the last witness. _ The four men who were brought In from Runcorn, on Saturday, have been discharged. It turns out that they were at the soene of the attack, but were on the opposing side. They pared up and down the line of prisoners to- night, but failed to identify any of them. The case for the prosecution will close to-morrow after- noon. The defence, it is supposed, will not last so lenges it was at first anticipated, owing **the number of prisoner that have been disobaqrd. SEARCH FOR THE FENIAN DEASY IN SHREWS RURY.—An unfortunate gentlemen, from Glasgow, spend ing his holidays in Shrewsbury, has just fallen a victim to the seal displayed for the capture of " Captain" Deasy, the Manchester Fenian. From the statement of the Glee gow gentleman it appears that, having been overworked in the commercial pursuits which he follows in his native town, he had sought in Shrewsbury that total rest which, he was advised, was necessary for his health. He arrived in the town on Friday week, and took up his abode in • widow's house in a quiet street near the river s his daily custom being to take • abort walk in the morning, and to spend the rest of the day in Lis own room either reading or writing. A few days after his arrival he had the mis fortune to attract the attention of • neighbour named Evans, who, for some unaccountable reason, instantly oon ceived the idea that he was Captain Deasy, and under this impression watched him day by day till his suspicion deepened into conviction, and at length he felt it his dot to lay • formal information in the hands of the borough police. No steps in the matter being taken by them, Mr. Davies, on Sunday evening, called upon Colonel Edgill, chief constable of the county police, and laid before him a description of thestranger, which so precisely tallied with that of Deasy, se furnished by the authorities to-the various police stations, that Colonel Edgill lost no time in sending off • despatch to Manchester, and then proceeded to inform the mayor. He found his worship in bed, but on hearing the facts OA related by the chief constable the mayor got up and at once went to the polioeoffice and there took such measures for the apprehension of Deasy as only needed the person's presence in the house indicated by the informer to crown them with perfect sumer. Accom panied by Colonel ', Captain Fenwiok, R.N. governor of the county , Mr. Hughes, chief constarbleof the borough, and luJi- risen policemen, the mayor went to the house where Deady was suppoted to be hiding, and first disposing the men round about it in such • manner as to provide for the capture of the Fenian if he should attempt to make• run for his liberty, knocked at the door, and after some parley was admitted to the bedroom where the mysterious lodger slept. After • few questions put by the mayor and readily answered by the astonished Scotchman, it became dear that there was a mistake somewhere, and after apologisityg for the intrusion his worship and the police °Mom withdrew. Early yesterday morning a detective police oMaer from Manchester arrived in response to Colonel Edgill's note, but on learning how matters stood he returned home. THZ CHURCH CONGRESS AT WOLVERHAMPTON. The clerical and other members of the church congress were arriving in Wolverhampton last evening in conside rable numbers. In respect of attendance, as of the nature of the programme of the papers to be read and discussed, this congress promises to be one of more than usual im portance. Customarily only a few hundred tickets are taken before the eve of the congress, but {yesterday afternoon 1,000 had been sold. The local interest in the meeting was displayed on Sunday evening, when the Bishop of Cape Town preached at the Collegiate church. At that place of worship there are three services on the Sunday. For fully half an hour before the after noon service was over the doors were thronged with people wishing to be present in the evening, and before the doors were opened there was 4 crush somewhat re sembling a Jenny Lind night at the opera. The doors bad to be thrown open and the whole church left for the streaming crowd to take their places as they chose. The church was thronged from altar table to west door, and after nearly 3,000 persons had got in, hundreds had to go away. The health of Lord Wrotteeley is sufficiently recovered to enable Wrottesley hall to be used by a few of his lordship's private friends, amongst whom is the Right Hon. Sir W. Page Wood, but it will be impossible that the hall can be used for general visitor, as his lordship had at first intended. The Earl of Dartmouth's residence is, however, literally thrown open ; and the private gentry and the tradespeople are all offering hospitality. Lodgings, therefore, are in abun dant supply ; and the arrangements with Messrs. Spier, and Pond far the supply of refreshments from Bin the morning till late at night, in the large Corn Exchange, will be a great improvement upon former congresses. ' The meetings will take place in the Agricultural-hell.

Wind S.W. Monday morning was wet, with rain at times for most part of the day. Wind Walt' • thermometer 58 degrees early, and 60 at mid-d a y ; bar,;,! meter 30 inches, and falling. No harvest -work could be proceeded with where such weather prevailed. Tuesday was quite an autumnal day ; wind from the N.N.W. ; ther mometer, 56 and 58 degrees ; barometer up to 3020 inches. On that day our advice, were as under from the East Riding of Yorkshire " Weather has been rather favour able than otherwise for harvest, considering it is getting late in the season ; the bulk is now secured in this district, but further north, especially on the coast, some amount still remains in the fields." From the West Riding : " I saw but little grain out yester day, except in Derbyshire, where some few pieces are left ; and north of hero souse little is still in the fields, be tween Wakefield and Leeds. The fine breezy day will help the work of bean-cutting and carting. Turnips con tinue to grow fast but potatoes are bad in many pl aces. " From Northumberland " The weather for the most part has been dull and cold in the past week, with occasional showers of rain ; wind varying from E. to S.E. end S.W. To-day is fine, with • strong north wind." Wednesday was a cold bracing day ; wind N.N.W. to N. ; thermo meter down to 5o and 57 degrees ,• barometer 30.45 inche s . Our advioes, on that day, stated, from Lincolnshire: "The harvest in this district is now concluded under favourable circumstances. The quality of the wheat, on the whole, is good, and also the condition ; but the yield generally re ported bad, being short of an average." From the east meat of Scotland : "We have had another week of fine harvest weather, enabling farmers in the higher districts to secure their crops in good order." Thursday was a thick foggy day, with scarcely any sun, and very calm through. out ; wind varying from the N.N.W. to S.W. ; the,. monieter 55 and 50 degrees, and the barometer remarkably high, up to 30.50 inches. Friday proved another foggy day, but was fair and suitable for the northern harvest. Our *deices from Warwickahire ran thus : "In this die. trict we have had another week of splendid weather, and the land, after so much wet, is becoming in fine condition for autumn sowing. Harvest is now generally secured, and the short yield of wheat an ascertained fact." From the East Riding of Yorkshire our advioee stated: " Tb a weather has been favourable, and the bulk of the harvest in this district is now secured. As to the result of the crop of wheat we can only repeat that it is abort of an averse, but the actual result can only be ascertained when thr ashing be. comes more general." From the West Riding : . Farmers complain much about the yield of wheat ; some of them, however, speak rather more favourably than others, as well as of barley." Saturday was a favourable day, at times runny, with the temperature higher, and the wind from the S.W. On the whole, this has been • most favour. able week for Scotland, and a great breadth of grain has been secured in prime order, which will assist an making the most of the produce. Their wheat, however, exhibit' • great variety of quality notwithstanding the condition is so good. There is still harvest work to be completed Is the latest parts of the United Kingdom, and another week or two of fine weathertwill be required to bring • general finish. We shall soon know the result of every county ; but up to this point the deficiency in the yield of wheat is con siderable, and this admitted fact promises a dear year far breadatults.—Mark•lane Express.

In *goes merchants continue to act very cautiously, and only a few manufacturers are fortunate enough to sem* orders. The reports from the fair now being held at Leipido are not very favourable for Bradford goods. Prices must be spin reported as lower. CATTLE. —Lrwzawoot, sin. 30.—The supply of cattle was about the same, and that of sheep less than on Woodsy last. The demand was dull for cattle, at much lower prices, y for middling descriptions. There was a very Kir r isrl emand for sheep, and prices were lower. Middling and inferior sheep and lambs were almost unsaleable. Beef, 51d. to Td. ; mutton, 414. to 61d. There were at market 3,006 cattle, and 14,401 sheep. TRAFFIC RETURNS. RAILWAY& 101•1 Pee- lthr.
