*purttris intelligenct. DONCASTER MEETING.-FRiDAT. The last scene in the eventful drama of another Don- caster September meeting was in keeping with the general character of the piece. The weather opened and kept beautifully flee, and the company, though not to be coin pared with that of the greatStLeger day was yetverygood; the only noticeable falling off being to the outside throng, for the grand stand and the ring showed little diminution in point of attendance. The sport commenced earlier than usual, for the obvious reason of enabling the visitors to return to their various homes after a week's pleasureable sojourn in the north. The first three events of the day resulted in wonderful surprises, a trio of well known and heavily supported public performers suffering defeat from mere outsiders. The most remarkable of these was the overthrow of Blue Gown by • hone whom be had easily overcome in the Champagne Stakes • few days previously, Blue Gown not only being the first beaten, but the absolute last to pass the post. The other noteworthy overthrow was Vauban succumbing to Tamban, at a difference of only 51ba, Achievement won the Don caster Cup in a canter, Hermit again being second, and thus the Leger running was confirmed to the very letter. though the partisans of the latter entertained great hopes that the additional length of the course would be much in Lis favour. The success of " the mare" fully proves now that she not only possesses great speed, but that she can stay over any distance. Hermit won the sweepstakes of 200 nova easily, of course from two moderate opponents, and thus earned no doubt sufficient to pay his expeaees Thus ended one of the most memorable meetings ever add on the Town-moor. There was little time left for betting on future events, but the few transactions that took place, with the details of the running, will be found appended below.

In this o-der they rounded the bend, where Mameluke gave way, lea ing Court' Mantle with the lead of Blue Gown and Pine. Within the distance the favourite was dead beaten, end Pace, closing with Court Mantle, gradually headed him, and won very cleverly by three parts of a length. A len,;th separated second and third, Mameluke was fourth, and Blue Gown last. After the race 1300 to 100 was steep ed twice about Pace for the Derby, and 2000 to 100 'boat Court Mantle.

No notable change in the positions noted above occurred until rounding the bend, where Vauban d e cre u ed Taraban's lead, drawing up on the out side of the gelding, whom he challenged resolutely at the commencement of the enclosure, but Taraban running gamely to the finish, won cleverly by a bead. Vauban defeated Mandrake a length for second place; Van Am burgh was fourth, and Longchampa last.

After taking their canters, the eight runners proceeded to the starting poet, and at the first attempt the flag fell to an excellent start. Seville, to serve her stable companion Gomm, made play immediately, and opposite the stand held • lead of at least ten lengths, Bemiring lying second, Achievement, Hermit, Stmthconan, Tyndale, Goodwood, and Comer.. following in the order named. As they rounded the bend Hermit drew up to Achievement, the pair going on side by aide in rear of Bemiring, while Goodwood, as they as. *ended the hill. dropped a long way in rear. Seville main tained a long lead to the rifle butts, where Beeswing closed with her, but before reaching the Red House Prangle spin sent his mare to the front. Commencing the band Hermit passed Beeswing, and drew up to Seville, who gave way half • mile from home, while Achievement, who had gradually crept up to Mr. Heathcote's mare, joined Hermit when fairlyin the straight. Fur • few strides the Derby and St. Leger winners raced side by side. but after passing the distance, the mare drew out, and won, literally pulling double, by three parts of a length. Tyndale was a vary bad third, Gemara fourth, !Mewing pulling up fifth, Goodwood sixth, Strathconan seventh, and Seville last. The hoisting of the winner's number was received by an amount of enthusiasm equalled only by that displayed after her St. Lager victory.

Mr. Hawksbaw thinks that the beet point for crossing is between New Brighton and Bootle, as the existing dock lines could be thus connected more easily and cheaply, while the rock at New Brighton offers certain facilities for working. Though the river is wider at this point Mr. Hawkshaw thinks less tunnelling would really be required thee if the work were undertaken further south. He esti- mates that the cost, allowing for contingencies and exam of estimates, would be under 1,000,000 i. sterling, and that the importance both to the railway interest and the Money Board of plain the Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks in direct co mm with the moat important Len in the &deist wadi folly justify the ex THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1867. at least founded on information as accurate and extensive as yours—though it may not be so offenaively or die courteously expressed as in some of your recent publica tions. One system has been tried and failed. Therefore another is now about to be tried. Should it also fail the governor has reserved complete powers to terminate the experiment at a moment's notice. Finally, his excellency desires me to add that Le does not believe there is any individual amongst you so reluctant personally, as he is himself, to introduce • system, the object of which it is so easy for irresponsible declaimers to misrepre sent in general appeals to morality, for which there will ever be a ready audience, too indulgent to suspect that the morality advocated is but a lazy as in the same vice under more revolting and dangerous conditions. Argument would be useless with those who can see no ditferenoe between the special and exceptional circumstanoes of Hong Kong and Heligoland. What might be an unjustifiable policy in England, or in a colony I nh abited by • European race with an efficient police, may be, in the cause order and general security, an absolute necessity in a small community of 2,015 t foreigners amongst 130,000 Chinese, whose co-operation in the suppression of illegal gambling, the source of so much crime, can only be expected, by giving them an interest in limiting its practice to a few fixed places under govern ment mirveillance.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, (Signed) Cgat. C. Acting Colonial Secretary. TRADES OUTRAGES COMMISSION. MANCHESTER, szrr. 13. Amongst the gentlemen present to-day and pre viously were the professors of Owen's College, Principal Greenwood, Professor Jsck, and Mr. Stanley Jevons, who occupies the chair of political economy and is Cobden lee tuner to the college. The commissioners took their seats at 11 o'clock. James Dalton, examined by Mr. Chance—ls a brick layer's labourer, and ceased to be a member of the Acci dent and Burial Society in February. In July 1863 was in the employment of Messrs. Cox and Burton, who were using machine-made bricks. While be carried their brick. he was not in the trades union. John Rileame from the union and followed him, and called him a knobstick, and struck him in the jaw. He said " take your life, you infernal knobatick." Witness got away as fast as he could. Was thrown out of work five weeks and then went to Stock ton, being driven out of Manchester. Joined the union at Stockton. Came back in February, and got work with Mr. John Lawton, the builder. Worked five weeks for him. Michael Fyland, one of the union men came to him and called him • knobstick, and threw him , into • lime pit.. The mon he was i,orking with said they would not work with him. He went to the police office all over blood and gave information, but Fyland had never been apprehended. Since that time Thomas Riley, a union man, had beaten him, and had been sentenced to one month's impriaonment. Since then John Murray, Thos. Deiflyn, Michael M'Loughlin, and John Riley, came and kicked at his howte-c.oor, and said they would take his life. They beat his littl e girl because she could not find him. They kicked at the door, and smashed it. They came several times while he was away and twice when be was at home. On one occasion the superintendent of police sent two police officers to protect his house all night. John Riley said he would hare revenge for Thomas Riley's committal. All these men were union men, and had since been bound over to keep the peace. Since then he had been kept out of work, and thrown on the workhouse. He had lately got work at Hollinwood, but walked from and to Manchester morn. ing and evening. Thomas bl'Loughlin, sworn—ls a bricklayer's labourer. and belongs to the society for the protection of the trade in Geotreet, Hulme. Had been secretary for three years. Meetings bad been held in various places. One in St. Mary's school-room. They had meetings once a fortnight, and lodge meetings once a month, betides special and an nual meetings. There were 800 to 900 members in the whole club, which was divided into lodges. There were nine lodges. The object of the general meeting every year was to discuss the rules and the working of the club. Ifes person• wee working against the rid it was brought before a lodge meeting. Supposing a man was • knobatick, they tried to bring him to reason by moral suasion. At least he never used anything but his tongue. He never heard any names tbat be could remember of the men who beat knobeticks while the gaol was building, but Thomas Daly, who is now in America. Mr. Pickering—You can remember no man in this country, I suppose ! Witness—No. After a caution witness remembered John Nolan was another. Remembered the last witness working for Cox aed Burton. His name had been men tioned at the lodge, but did not know be bed been beaten. Heard of Murray and Defilyn being in Agnes-street one Saturday night, drunk, and shouting near Dalton's house, and a woman having brought word to the lodge-house, witness went and took Murray away. He went himself because he *ought be should have more influence over Murray than others. Never heard of Dalton's Bale daughter being beaten till he heard it in court. The society had p-inted rules. It gave Si. on the death of a member or his wife, and Se. per week to • member out of work. A delegate was employed by the society whose duty it was to go round and see that the men at work were members of the society. If he found any who were not, working, he reported them and they were then sent for and asked to become membiers. If they refused, then the union men would not work with them. When men left work in this way they were paid by the society. They used no means but these against knobstocks, except that they induced the bricksetters to leave the work also if they could. The Rev. Canon Toole was trustee, and kept the banking acoount. One of their delegates was John Nolan, and they paid him 245. • week. Had heard of Nolan being engaged in acts of violence. He used vio lence to Gough. He struck him. He was not repri manded for it at the lodge, and they continued to employ him. Michael Brennan has been treasurer for two years. The payments are a pound entrance, and • shilling • month. By Mr. Chance--Nevre heard when Dalton left Cox and Burton. When • man need machine-made bricks their men would not work with him. That was not a printed rule, but was binding. John Murray is president of the committee of the general society. Each lodge had its own president and secretary. By Mr. Barstow—He knew of no inconvenience to labourers from carrying machine-made bricks except that they were • little heavier. Could give no other reason why the club would not allow them, nor did he know of any understanding with the Elu ricnakers' Society about them. It was • rule made by the general committee. Mr. Pickering asked witness if he expectedto be believed when he said he knew of no reason why machine-made bricks were objected to except their being h eavier? Witness said all he knew was that the Micksetters would not use them. There might be reasons which he did not know of. The only minute, of their meetings were taken on loose sheets of paper. Thomas Deffira sworn—Had been a member of the society 12months. Remembered being with Murray in Agnes-street on • Saturday night. Witness was drunk, but knew Murray was with him because they had got 0-unk together. He saw Dalton coming drunk through the street shouting and quarrelling. He was shouting for any one to ooine out to fight with him. Witness went to fight him and he ran to his own house. He followed him to his own house and asked him to come out and fight. He saw either hie wife or daughter. Murray at that time was drinking in • beer-house. His youngest daughter had struck him before that with a truck, and be hit her a slap on the jaw with his open hand. Witness lived in the same street. and was going home quietly but for meeting Dalton. Was taken before the magistrates a few weeks after. Was charged with an assault on James Dalton. He was charged with assault and beating of Dalton. He did not shout in the streets. He called Dalton • knobstick, but did not kick at his door. Had been drinking that night from the time he left his work, at 12 at noon. Got his wages sometimes • quarter or half an hour after he left work on the Saturday. After he got his wages he went to the first public-house he met. John Murray, a member also of the Brioklayeni' La bourers Burial and Accident Society, said he left work on the Saturday in question at 12, and got drunk. Did not often get drunk. Is • member of the general committee, whose duty it is to look after the working of the different lodges, to pay the delegates, and make the rules. It is not a rule of the society, but none of their men would work for a master using machine-made bricks. It might be • rule, but not a printed rule, and if they found • union man was working for such a master,wbat they did was to draw him away. If they saw a non-union man so work ing they left him alone. His committee met at the Shamrock Inn. A rule made by the committee was binding lon the whole nine lodges. Each lodge had • different delegate. When Dalton left Manchester be owed 30e. to the society, and when he came back they decided he could not be readmitted because he had not • clear card. Bridget Dalton, wife of James Dalton, previously exa mined—Her husband was obliged some time ago to go away in consequence of being ►non-union man. They had nine children. He went to Stockton. Had since re turned. Remembered her husband being stopped work, and thrown into a lime pit and being beaten, and the men being punished. Remembered one Saturday Murray, Fyland. Deffiyn. Riley, and M'Loughlin coming to the door. They came and went all afternoon op to belt-put ten at night. Her husband was at home, but bad to be hid away. A neighbour west to the police-office, and two policemen came and remained to protect them. Thomas Defilyn struck her little girl with hie fist. The child had done nothing to him. Her husband bad been out of work till laic week, when he got work some distance away, because the union men would not allow him to work in Manchester. George Bradbury sworn—ls • muter brickmaker at Cheetham, and in 1864 had a large quantity of bricks de stroyed. Is a member of the trade union himself. Did not know why the damage was done, except that be bad been adjudged to pay sews. Young for some clay that had been used before, and would only pay it under pro test. He bad let his field to Youngs for 12 months, and they left some clay which they had not used. His men and Youngs' men valued it. He bad 20,000 to 30,000 bricks destroyed. He stopped the work, and the union had gime paid him N. Its. for hie leas. Hia real len GAMBLING LEGALISED IN A BRITISH COLONY. A recent mail from China brought us the in tellizenoe that the governor of Hung Kong pro posed to license gambling-houses there. Later sulv ices now state that the revenue from this source is estimated at from 250,000 dollars to 300,000 Jollars per annum. A memorial has, however, been presented to the governor protesting aga►nst the proposed system altogether, on the ground that to license gambling is to legalise immorality. The following is the text of the memorial and the reply it has received : Tho Rev. Charles F. Warren and others to his Excellency Sir Richard Graves MscDonnell, C. 8., governor and commander-in-chief of Hong /Con London Mission House, Hong Kong, July 24, 1867. Sir,—After the recent interview of Hems. Warren, Morris, and Turner, with your Excellency, when you were so good as to listen to some arguments against the proposed system of licensing gambling houses in this colony, and you intimated your intention of putting that system into opera tion : we desire respectfully to lay before your excellency the following objections, to which we venture to beg your earnest consideration. We object to, and feel in conscience bound to protest against, this scheme for the following reasons :-1. Because it has been intro duced in an underhand and un-English way. It is in cluded in an ordinance for " the maintenance of order and cleanliness," a title under which no one would look for such a measure. The clause affecting gambling is worded ambiguously ; but any plain, honest roan would interpret it as meaning the very contrary to licensing the evil. It looks as if every care had been taken to blindfold the public on this subject. There has been no opportunity of eliciting public opinion here ; no opportunity of memo- rialising the home government in opposition to it. 2. Be cause licensing gambling houses will certainly lead to a large increase of gambling. The fear of the law, which is now a partial check, will be removed. The publicity of the licensed houses will ensnare many who do not now go out of their way to search for them. Saito-a and other Europeans will be tempted into them. The proprietors will surround the "tell" with every attraction. But argument is needless here. The bare mention of the vast sum offered, end it is said, accepted for the license, indicates an immense increase of gambling. :i. Bemuse Fcensing gambling houses will lead to the " ultimate suppression "of the vice. To pretend the contrary would be the moat barefaced hypocrisy. Every one who argues for the licensing, your excellency included, does so on the ground that suppression is hope less. The licensing will bring • large revenue which the government will not easily resign. But if at any time the government does withdraw the licenses, the illegal gambling will then be harder to put down than ever. Yet by yourown ordinance, your excellency is pledged to aim at the " ultimate suppression" of gambling. 4. We believe that a large proportion of the Chinese population of this place are opposed to this measure. Its introduction will have a seriously demoralising effect on the Chinese resi dent in the colony. 5. Gambling is at present equally illegal by British and by Chinese law, in every part of the two empires. Only last year the gore-nor of Canton took stringent measures for the suppression of gambling in that city. The proposed measure will degrade both our civilisation and our Christianity in the eyes of the Chinese people. 6. We believe that the government has no right to countenance and sanction vice. By licensing gambling houses the government will not only do this, but will actually protect and patronise that class o 1 sharpers who make gambling their regular prevision, and live by preying on the community, and (which is still worse) will itself take • share of their ill-gotten gains. For the above reason, we are compelled, hough with much personal reluctance, to enter our solemn pro test against this proceeding. We again thank your excellency for the patient hearing you gave to arguments opposed to your policy ; and are sorry to be constrain:4 to announce to you that we cannot but take every pce.sible measure, both here and in England, to obtain the reversal of this scheme. We are, with great respect, your excel lency's obedient, humble servants, (Signed) Charles F. Warren , C.M.S., John Piper. Rudolph Lechler , Loereher, David B. Morris, and F. S. Turner. The Hon. Cecil 0. Smith, Acting Colonial Secretary, to Rev. Charles F. Warren and others. . _ Colonial Secretary's Office, Hong Kong, July 27, 1867. Gentlemen,—l am instructed by his excellency Sir Richard Graves Mac Donnell to say that pressure of busi ness has prevented earlier acknowledging receipt of your letter of the 24th instant. His excellency is obliged to you for bringing before him once more your reasons for con demning the policy of licensing gambling houses in this colony. At the same time he cannot help remembering that three of your number, at a recent inten:ew, quite failed to give any satisfactory answer to his arguments in favour of that policy, and appeared entirely unprepared with any suggestions to meet acknowledged exist. ing evils. The governor does not feel called on again to discuss the question at length, but is bound to ;,eve a direct denial to your assertion that " the measure itas been introduced in an underhand and nu-English way." Such a statement is as untrue, as it is unreasonable to amen that a law for the "maintenance of order," is a title under " which no one would look for inch a measure " —i.e., for a measure designed to suppcess illegal gambling —the present most fruitful source of disorders in the colony. The ordinance No. Bof last year was introduced publicly in council, disowned publicly before reporters of the prey., and contained the very same words as the amended ordinance passed on the 17th of last month, viz., "To frame such rules and regulations and conditions as may be deemed expedient for the total suppression, or in the meantime, for the better limitation and control of gambling in this colony." The ordinance of last year, like that of the present, contemplated if possible the suppres sion, and, failing that, the limitation and control of gambliwz. The governor had then hopes that by increased exertion', gambling could be put down, hopes, which, after the greatest personal effort; aided by equal exertions on the part of severed I officers of the police, he has been obliged to abandon, as he found the attempt only led to the continued corruption of the police on whose efficiency the security of the lives and property of the community mainly depends. Thine efforts, moreover, drove the incorrigible and numerous Chinese gamblers of the colony to resort to secret lairs, to live ins perpetual defiance of the law, and thus established numerous rendezvous of the wont classes, where nine tenths of the burglaries and daring crimes perpetrated were planned. His excellency might of course have left matter' in that state, which he presumes is what you would advise, or he might resort to the other alternative of the ordinance for "the better limitation and control of gambling," which is the policy that he considers moat sistent with his duty to maintain "order." Last mouth the colonial Jere gave extensive publicity to the governor's declaration in council of his opinion that it wculd be wise to regulate what we could not suppress, and if publi..ity be nn-English, and "calculated to blind fold the public," you will find it is extent° in the reported proceedings of the Legislative Council of the 17th ultimo. His excellency would have expected from the deep interest which you feel inthe question that you would then lave avowed your opinions. It may be a satisfaction to you, however, to know that members of council, at least all the non-official members, so far back as the pass ing of the ordinance last year, were well acquainted with and entirely approved of the alternative given to the exe cutive, if the suppression of gaming proved impossible. Such also is the opinion of the most experienced residents here, men whose opinions are entitled to equal weight with yours, for his excellency presumes that you do not claim a monopoly of either sagacity or virtue. You allude to the " large revenue" which gambling licenses will bring and some of your number have published letters im puting to the government the most sordid motives. Your imputing such motives, when disavowed by the govern. inent, gives them neither truth nor even Increased proba bility. The governor simply wishes to free gambling from its present illegality so far as to break up the gangs of illegal gamblers, whose cliques are now the schools suit nurseries of crime, the continuance of which you advocate. He would do so if he sew his way to such a result, without adding a cent to the public tree• Bury. He cannot, however, make the Chinese aid in put ting down illegal gambling otherwise than by rendering it essentially their interest to do so, nor can this be effected unless they have a large interest at stake with which ille gal operations would interfere. The larger that interest, the greater and more effective must be their co-operation with the government, sad the more stringent the power of the latter to enforce obedience to its regulations, because that co-operation and obedience must be propor tioned to the sums invested, and risked by want of co operati,m and by disobedience . Nevertheless, when the amount paid is sufficient for the above purpose—a point that can only be settled by experience—it is not desirable to increase it for mere purposes of revenue, and for that reason his excellency has refused offers exceeding the amount accepted by more than 100,000 dollars. He will even be ea. to find hereafter that a less sum than that now tendered will en , able the government to attain the principal legitimate i objects sought, as above stated. In this small colony, `situated within a mile of the mainland, there has been between the latter and this island an interchange to and fro of 200,000 persona in the last six months, and his excellency despairs of producing a moral impression against gaming on • community formed of sash changing elements, and the individuals oomposing which are in the aggregate notoriously addicted to gaming. He prefers addressing himself to the practical question of protecting property by anKreseing meetings of illegal gamblers and retrieving the efficien /of the now corrupted police. He does not be lieve that vice ceases to exist when he shuts his eyes and refuses to see it—and if that, which is a sin of deeper dye, is, from the necessity of the case submitted to regulated sanction with the approval of 'the wise and good in England, for the 'invention of disease, his excellency can not admit tho distinction without a difference, which would forbid his endeavouring, with a view to the suppression of crime, to control that which was not illegal by English common law, and is not denounced as a sin by the sacred law. He believes that ander the new policy there will be more gaming, but by removal of its illegahty, the consequences will be far less pernicious to individuals or the public than its present more limited practice. His vhaina on the probabilities a! the as is would be about 201. His men objected to the money being paid, became they said there wee less clay than was charged and they had to make bricks by the thousand, so that they would lose by there being under the quantity. Robert Barker paid him the 8/. 2a. on behalf of the brick =ken' union, end he then opened his croft gain. Had no idea who destroyed the bricks. It was done by tramp ling on them. Made no claim upon the society, end could not tell why they paid him. It was paid as compensation for the spoiled bricks, and he knew of no reason why, except that he stopped the work. He began work again after being paid. He employs union men now. He did not think the briclanakers' society either did the damage or countenanced it. He was not allowed to attend meet ings of the union, but paid a pound a year, or he would not be allowed to work with them. Did not pay to the society in order that he might get compensated for bricks destroyed. Robert Barker sworn—Had been secretary of the Man chester brickmakers' union about three times for three months each time. Left office about a week since. Paid last witness for his bricks because a meeting decided that as he had bed his bricks spoiled and was • nice, straight forward gentlemanly man, he ought to be compensated. The society did not know who spoiled them. Never had matters about trade outrages brought before the society. The delegate had to go round, and if he saw men working who were not union men he reported to witness, and the society men would not work with them. Knew Kay, but had never paid him money for an out safe. Remembered the murder of Jump, but was not in office at the time, and recollected nothing of delegates coming, or money being paid to defend the men. Never made entries of incidental expenses or sundries. If Key had demanded 101. for any extra job he would have had no power to pay him, or give him anything beyond his weekly salary. The court adjourned soon after four o'clock. 4 NEW PORN OP TERRORISM. " A Lady of a Certain Age " complain ins con temporary that she has been rattened." She writes : " Staying lately at a fashionable watering : lace, I went to have my hair cut at the shop of • distinguished hairdresser whom I will call A. I may add that, though of • certain age, nature has been sufficiently bountiful in respect of • cheodure for me to enter these places hitherto without trepidation. I seated myself complacently before a huge mirror in front of which wee • marble slab whereon stood three large glass-etoppeired bottles containing a clear red liquid labelled Specific No. 1; ditto clear mauve, ' Specific No. 2 ;' ditto white, ' Specific No. 3.' A tall stalwart moustached young man of a haughty yet sorrowful aspect, as of one borne down with the frisettes and frivolities of women, entered the room, and proceeded to comb out my hair, from time to time trans ferring the comb from my hair to his own, a practioe to which I entertain a strong objection. I have always felt it derogatory to the dignity of man that he should be thus employed, and if ever Miss Parkes organises • staff of female hairdressers they shall have my custom ; but, meanwhile, I must do as others do. All proceeded calmly, when suddenly he paused, bent over and gazed, as I sup posed, intently in my skull. What had he discovered, I wondered. ' Madam,' he exclaimed, with an air of con sternation, ' are you aware of the state of your head r 'No,' I replied , a g ood deal stertled. 'ln three months you will not have a black hair on it ! It wall be entirely grey P I plucked up courage to observe that there were as yet no grey hairs visible to my eye. He smiled in teem. That may be, madam ; nevertheless it is es I have the honour of telling you.' And producing from his waist- coat pocket a horrid little magnifying glom, he examined my head afresh, I being literally too much upset to pre vent him. ' All the young hair is already grey,' he said, triumphantly; ' the infection will spread to the rest ' I cannot help it,' I said, desperately, ' Ex cuse me, madam ; if taken in time this sad event will not occur. By the use of our specific No. 2 these symptoms, so destructive to the personal appearanc e , will be enti r ely ' removed .' What is the price of it ? ' I faltered. From 7s. lid. to • guinea.' At this juncture a young lady en tered, followed by a still taller and more dignified person than the one appointed to attend on me. She sat down, and es I could in my mirror behold them both very well, I resolved while pondering on my own cruel destiny to see what fate had in store for her. Hardly had her hair been taken down, than I ob served the lame dramatic start, the same odious little spy • was extracted from the waistcoat pocket, followed by the same ostentatious scrutiny, and then I heard the noiemn warning, ' Madam, are you aware that you are beginning to be bald ?' (Grey hair was obviously out of the question for • victim under five-and-twenty.) The poor young lady exclaimed, in evident distress, 'No in deed; am I real l y ? lam so sorry, I had not the No, idea." Too true, madam ; there is already • bald place here,' laying his finger on the crown of the head. 'I can not see it,' she said, vainly trying to look at the top of her own head in the glees. ' No, madam,' but I can. In six months you will be entirely bald, or at the moat will only have • patch here and there.' Then followed • whis pered eonvenation to which delicacy forbade me to lieten, but at the conclusion I saw him fold up and lay aside for her • large bottle of Specific No 1, price one guinea. When I arose, ' You will probably desire • bottle of this cream, madam—No. 3 ; It will not only remove every atom of scurf from the bead, but will for ever de stroy the possibility of its formation.' I had ro culty in declining this : such a result would. I thought, give the hair the appearance of growing on a 000te's ekg rather than a Christian woman's head. ' I presume, then, I may of course put you up a bottle of No. 2. Now is the time, and the only time, when it can do you good.' I said, with an abjectness of spirit of which I now feel ashamed, that I would think about it." As you please, msdam— thought it right to warn you,' and he turned away more in pity than in anger, as one would say I have spoken; her punishment be on her own head.' ' ;naked down to the promenade in • dejected frame o" ' mind, for which I hope no reasonable person will ridicule me. Meeting • friend, she desired to know what ailed me. ' I feel a little depressed,' was my not unnatural reply. Being farther interrogated, I confessed gloomily how I had received certain information that within three months I should be an entirely grey-haired woman. ' Now,' she said, ' I know you have been to that horrid A., and have been well frightened; did he not want you to give a guinea.lfor specific No. 2?' I admitted it ' I know their *deka,' she continued with • ch-erfulness quite inspirit ing. 'He told me I should be both bald and grey within six months, and sweated me to buy both his nostrums. He actually had the audacity to say, " Madam, I should be personally grieved if you lose year fine hair by neglect. I am in a position to speak with au thority, for when the season is over I and the other gentlemen devote our leisure exclusively to: the study of the skin.'" After a little consultation, we resolved to repair to • rival establishment, 8., and take • fresh opinioe there. Almost exactly the same thing occurred. There was the same majestic demeanour, the same cur prise, the same microscopical examination, the sameurgent I recommendations °Weenies, at the same price. My friend was to be bald, 1 was to be grey, but the period of change was now shortened from four month to three. I said, ' Will you tell me how you know this?' I see that the skin of your head is in • most morbid and unhealthy state, as evinced by this—it is not firmly attached to the head.' And he pinched it up and moved it backwards and forwards on the skull. ' You have probably had a severe illness.' I stated that it was not so. ' Madam, lam the more concerned to hear it, for that illness would have accounted for the melancholy condition of your hair, and with returning health it would have re covered • ' bu t in the other car at is unquestionably the head itself which is seriously affected.' How will your specific act ? I *Amt. Madam in a peculiar way. It is not • dye ; we recommend no kind of dye • we entirely disapprove of them. But by the use of t h is ' glass I per ceive the colouring matter stationary in elongated globules, choked in its proper. No. 2 will establish • reaction • it will generate new colouring matter, and will force these globules into violent activity until they circulate freely and constantly .' lam very much obliged to you,' I said, ' for your interesting theory. Mr. A. also sells certain specifics which profess to effect the same results.' A smile of compas sion. Madam, we can only answer for our own eara tions, but I may add in confidence, we preparations, heard a favourable account of the party mentioned. Shall I put you up two, or only one of the bottles No. 2, madam?' I nearly gave way, but was saved by the reflections which suddenly occurred to me. First I remembered that an assistant in one of the large London houses had told me that he, in common with the other young men, received a fourth of the prime of what- ever they sold ; and secondly, that where nature ordains gray hair she never fails ',to make corresponding changes in the face ; so if by the arta of Mr. A. or B. my hair was, against nature's law, keptblack, my face and my hair might contrast, but would certainly not harmonies, and if the specific, on the other band, failed, my guinea would have been paid to no purpose ; I therefore courageously re fused, and I have recorded the particulars of my ordeal end how I passed through it in the hopes that other vic tims may, fortified by my experience, be inspired to with stand this odious kind of intimidation. The annual gathering of the Theme Agricul tural and Horticultural Societies took place on Thursday.

David Johnson alias Zearici - /Fitii&Suon , bat who appears to be better known by the soubriquet of " Scotch Chre was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination upon the charge of feloniously conspiring with other per iwig to procure the engraving of forged 51. notee of the Union Bank of Scotland, and also with having feloniously in his poaseuion certain engraved plates for the purpose of carrying out that obiorct. Mr. Mullen, (the solicitor to the Bankers' Association) attended on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Sing appeared for the prisoner. The circumstances under which the charges were pre ferred will be in the recollection of the public as they have been given fully upon the different examinations. The offence imputed to the prisoner was that he and a man named Zellmann had employed an engraver named Richard Smith to engrave the copy of a genuine Si. note of the above bank and that in the course of the transaction, Smith was also employed to go to Birmingham to procure similar paper to that on which the bank notes were engraved sufficient to fabricate forged notes to the amount of 30,0001. The evidence left no doubt that a mast gigantic system of forgery wan in tended to have been carried oat, and that other persons, possessed of considerable capital, who kept in the back ground, and who have since absconded, and it is believed have left the country, were connected with the prisoner in the affair. In addition to the former evident* • wittier named Henry Benjamin was now examined, who stated that be resided in Bt. Mary Axe, and that on the 29th of April last be let the prisoner • warehouse, and he continued to occupy it until just before the June quarter day, when he left without giving any notice and tied the keys out side the door. (A laugh.) The prisoner at this time represented his name to be Albert Davis. Mr. King said he did not see what this evidence had to do with the charge of forgery. Mr. Mullen said that it was material, showing that the prisoner went by several names for some object or other. The Lord Mayor then told the prisoner that he was about to commit him to take his trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court, and be gave him the usual formal caution. The prisoner replied that he should reserve his defence. Mr. King then applied for some articles of wearing apparel and a gold watch and chain to be restored to the prisoner, to enable him to obtain the means for his defence. Mr. Mullane said that bank notes to the amount of 501., which were taken from the prisoner, had already been returned to him, but he had no objection to the wearing apparel and the watch and chain being also returned. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. William Murphy and Catherine Murphy, man and wife, were charged before Mr. Cooke with violently assaulting Police-constables Thomas Tew 174 N, and John Reynolds, 285 N, in the execution of their duty, at Islington. On Monday night the constables apprehended the eon of the defendants for making a disturbance in Upper-street, Islington, and had no sooner taken him into custody than they were dragged down a court and severely assaulted. Thedefendents attacked the constables,the woman scratch ing their faces, and the man took one of the constable's staves and beat them with that. Tew was forced down, and then the male defendant kicked him on th e l egs an d back and very much injured him. The defendant's son was rescued from custody, made his escape, and has not since teen seen. Whilst the constables were in the court they were attacked by a mob, and the defendants then made their escape, and it was found necessary to obtain a warrant for their apprehension. The defendants, in reply to the charge, denied that they assaulted the police, and said that the constables used their truncheons and knocked them about. The man did not deny that he had taken the staff from the constable, but he did It because he wanted to mire hie wife from being knocked about. Mr. Cooke said that the case was made out, and sen tenced the woman to pay a fire of 405., or. in default, to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for one month. The man would go to the House of Correction, without the option of a fine, for one month. SOUTHWARK. Edward JoAltaoa, • smut-looking man, was placed at the bar for final examination,. charged with having in his 'on skeleton keys of moutons contrivance, with tent to break into a jeweller's shop in Great Suffolk street, Borough. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Ball, detective officer of the M division, that on Wednesday night, the 4th instant, he was paring down Great Suffolk-street, when he saw the prisoner and another man loitering about in front of a jeweller's shop, three doors from Blackman street. house had recently been divided, and the other half was occupied by Mr. Taylor, a hairdresser. Witness, suspecting them, watched them, and • few minutes after wards he saw the other men g ive something to the pri soner, who went towards Mr. Taylor's shop-door, and did something to the look. He accordingly rushed upon him, and told another constable to seise the other when the prisoner dropped the skeleton keys produced. After a severe struggle he conveyed the prisoner to the station house, but his companion escaped. In answer to the magistrate, Witness said that the shops were divided by • very slight I partition, and bad the thieves gained an entrance to Mr. Taylor's shop they could easily have cleared the jeweller's of all the valuable,. An assistant to Mr. Taylor said that latterly the prisoner and another man had been frequent eustomen, and gene rally while waiting to be attended upon sat near the parti tion. They asked several times about the jeweller's, and made other observations that at last raised suspicion. On the night in question he fastened up the shop and gave the keys to Mr.Taylor,when beasw the prisoner loitering about. The prisoner here pleaded guilty, and boned of his worship to deal with him at onoe. In reply to the magistrate, Serjeant Ball said the prisoner bad given a false address, and he had not been able to bud whether he had been con victed before. The magistrate had no doubt that his intention was to break hit° the jeweller's shop. He sentenced him to three months' hard labour. THAMES. The Board of Works for the rapier district have been for some time actively engaged in the laudable task of en forcing the provisions of the Sanitary Act. A few days l i since Caroline Smithers was convicted by Mr. Benson for not having complied with the order of the beard to carry ' out sanitary works in six houses belonging to her in Hunt's-row , Poplar. Mr. Layton, the clerk to the board, gave a dreadful account of the state the six houses were in. The roofs were out of repair, the ventilation defec tive, there wee no supply of water for the retiring places, and the houses were very dirty. Mr. Layton, jun., also stated that last year the district was visited with cholera, and the bmrd he bad the honour to represent were determined to carry out the provisions of the Sanitary Act. Mr. Shadrake, the junior in spector of nuisances, applied for summonses against John William Stocker, of the Cubitt Estate (Mice, Cubitt Town, Poplar; John Oarnhani, of 9, Bread-street-hill, City ; Elijah Heefield, of 2, East Ferry-road, Poplar ; and James Russell, of High-street, Poplar, for not complying with the orders of the Board of Works. The persons eon.- plsined of are either agents to owners of houses in the district or owners of numerous other houses let to the poor. Many of these houses were represented to be in a very defective condition, and wanting in sanitary arrangements. It was determined by the beard to pro oeed against all homeowners and agents who did not carry out the requirements of the board, and put their places in order. _ _ Mr. Paget granted summonses against the parties named by Mr. Shadrake. Ellen LOWY& Webster. aged 22 years, was charged with stealing money from the till of her master, Mr. Thomas Sherwood, eating house keeper, of No. 69, Cable-street, hitechapeL The prisoner bad been in the service of Mr. Sherwood for a few weeks. He bad frequently missed silver from his till in the shop, end suspected the prisoner. He consulted Dunaway, No. 11 H, who advised him to apply the teat of marked money. A shilling and three expenses were marked and put into the till ; next morning the marked shilling was missing. Dunaway was sent for, and the marked shilling.was found in her bosom. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Paget committed her for trial. Susan Wager was brought up on • warrant, charged with attempting to Bre • canister a gunpowder, with the intent to commit murder. Mr. John Church, house agent, of Talbot-road, Notting bill, stated that on Thursday morning last he went to No. 9, Golden-mews, where the prisoner lived, and die. trained upon her goods. While engaged in removing them from the rooms which she occupied, she took up • metal mister, and upon his asking her what it con tained, she said, " show you in • moment." Ms went to the mantelshelf, took from it a lucifer match, struck a light, and applied it to the canister. She held the flame close to the edge of it, and • woman called out, " That contains gunpowder." Ho jumped back in stantly, and his son ran to her and took the canister from her. The clerk—How close were you to the canister when she applied the lighted match to it ? Prosecutor—About two feet. I was so frightened that I cannot tell the exact distance. It might be nearer. I said to her, " What could you have been thinking about? You might have killed yourself and us, too." She said, " I wish I had, you have no business hem." The woman who called out said, " You would have destroyed your-elf as well" She replied, " I should not have oared if I bad." She was very violent, and I was obliged to take hold of her. I examined the canister and found it contained gunpowder. Prisoner—l told you I merely did it to frighten you. Prosecutor—l do not remember you saying so. Prisoner—You only pushed me back, you did not hold me. lam very sorry for doing such a thing. Prosecutor—You did not appear sorry at the time. In answer to the charge the prisoner said she was very sorry for what she had done, and she hoped the magistrate would overlook the case. She was much excited at the loss of her things, se she had not a minute's notice of the broker coming to take them away. Dayman then committed the prisoner for trial at the neat seedoes of the Central Criminal Court for the attempted murder sad refused WI. • . 111111, / AIABILISTS. ---- .
