BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL (rams OUR ors coaessmaen-r.) BIRMINGHAM, WEDXESDAY, Sr M. 7. The concert of last night drew a great audience, though the hall was not quite so crowded as in the nsornmg. But we have seldom or never seen the hall so lull on the first evening LA a festival. The concert on the whole was excelleut, but, as usual, a great deal too long, having lasted from eight o'clock till midnight. It wt.- divided into three parts : the first couitisted of Mr. henry Smart's new dramatic cantata The Erid, Durk: even ; the 'send and third were selections. ! Duakerrois was completely successful. It is • work of a very high order, and will add fresh' honour to the name of one of the most eminent of living musicians. The dramatic cantata is a de scription of music of which, till lately. we have a! scanty supply; specimens of it are still to be found in the works of the old Italian masters, and one of the most remarkable among them is the Jen/Is/ha of Cariasimi, a work to which Handel is indebted for more than the subject of one of his finest choruses. Till within these few years our stock of cantatas has been almost wholly contributed by Handel, and has been confined to Ads and Galatea, Alexander's Feast, and the Allegro and Feturiero ; but our English composers have found that the cantata affords • great field for the genius of the musician, and the recent pro ductions of Bennett, Macfarren, and Benedict (to whose names we may now add diat of Smart) are well known to the public. Dunkerroti is founded on an old Irish tradition, which has been made the subject of a ballad by Mr. Crofton Croker. The story is very simple. The lord of Dunkerron is enamoured of a " sea maiden who returns his passion, but warns him of the Perils attending its indulgence. He follows her, nevertheless, to her spirit home ; but her kindred are incensed by her union with a mortal, and the unhappy pair became the victims of their rage. But for the fact of its Irish origin, we should have believed this legend one of those an busies which abound in the traditional lure of Ger many, and have been turned to such ample ac count by the poets, romancers, and musicians of that country. The piece begins (after a short instrumental pre lude) with a chorus, in which the young chiefs Tassels express their surprise at the mysterious spell which has come over their master, while they listen with alarm to the distant song of the sea maidens heard floating on the midnight air. This chorus, full of wild awl picturesque beauty, miens the subject very strikingly. The lover is then introduced, wandering on the sea-shore. He invokes, in a sweet and tender nieloly, the object of his passion. She appears ' • and the love-dialogue which follows is a beautiful and highly dramatic duet. She avows her love, but laments that she cannot—may not—be his bride. But his ardour prevails ; she shares his raptur,-, and the lovers plunge together into the waves. We are now in troduced to the Sea-King, who sings a fine aria, descriptive of the wonders of his watery domains, His subjects, the storm-spirits, tells him of the disgrace brought upon their race by their daughter's union with a mortal, and demand the doom of death for so great a crime. The King assents ; the doom is pronounced ; and the rising of the storm is described as a chorus of great power. Meanwhile the stranger, arriving with his bride, is joyously welcomed be the sea-maidens, her attendants ; and aunts beautiful music follows. The pair indulge in dreams of love and happiness ; but the maiden tells her lover that, before she can be his, the eocsent of her sire must be obtained to their union. She departs for this purpose, and Dunkerron is left alone. The storm rhos—the voices of the angry spirits are heard, and the maiden returns, accompanied by her stern and unrelenting father. The catastrophe is described in a most powerful trio and chorus. The King pro nouncea the doom of death, the maiden fades from her lover's embrace, and be is overwhelmed amid the raging waves. The piece terminates as it be gan, with a chorus, in which the sea-spirits lament the fate of the maiden, and the vassals mourn the death of their chief. This subject has the disadvantage common to all things of this kind—it somewhat lacks human interest. we cannot sympathise very deeply with joys and sorrows so fantastic ; and this story, like the nume rous legends about the numberless tales of the Undinea and Lurlines of Rhineland. may be said to be addressed lees to the feelings than to the imagination. But this does not detract from the beauty of Mr. Smart's music. Dunkerroti is a charming work. It is highly origin-a, rich in fancy, , full of exquisite and expressive melody, and dis languished by a clearness of constru ction and I purity of style which are too seldom found, even in the most successful music of the present day. The performance was in all respects excellent. The character of the heroine was sustained by Madame Ruderadorff in a manner worthy of her reputation es an accomplished artist. She sang not ouly with great brilliancy, but with impassioned expression. Mr. Cumming'', who is rising every day in talent and position, sang, as Dunkerron, with admirable grace and sweetness ; and Mr. Weise gave impressive effect to the part of the Sea-king. The reception of the work was such as it deserved. The principal morceaux were warmly applauded • and, at the conclusion, the hall resounded with prolonged acclamations. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the rest of the concert, as it did not present anything novel to the musical reader. Its most interesting features were the g rand scene or monologue. " O u t on thi s wear y life," from Benedict's Richard Cant de Lion, sung by Bantle y ; Meyerbeer's air from L'Etoile chi Nord, sung by Madlle. Adelina Patti, and accompanied on two flutes by Means. Pratten and De Folly ; Madame Sherrington's "Ombre Legere," from Dinorah, sung with marvellousbrilliancy ; Gounod's scene, " L'abbandonar," from Minute, splendidly sung by Madame Titiens ; and Mendelssohn's pia noforte concerto in D minor, played by Madame Arabella Goddard as it has never been played by any one save Mendelsohn himself.

The performance was excessively long, baying lasted from half-past eleven to near four. This was not owing to the work itself being of un due length, but to the profusion of encores called for by the noble President, with praiseworthy desire, no doubt, of doing honour to the composer. Every piece encored was certainly worthy of the compliment, but everybody knows that the general effect of a work is far from being improved by so many repetitions. In the present case, however, this disadvantage was not apparent, for the entLu- Niasm expressed by an overflowing audience at the conclusion of the performancecould not have been exceeded. The hall literally rang with acclamations for several minutes. My present observations on this great and pro found work must uectrestrily be slight and hasty. It is M. Costa's second effort in the most lofty and arduous walk of his art. His first, Eli, it will be remembered, was produced in the same place in 1855, and laid the foundation of the author's re putation as an oratorio composer, which will be *shamed by its successor. There can be no doubt that Norman evinces, if not a higher genius than Eli, a greater maturity of artistic: skill and judg ement, the fruit of nine years' ardent and energetic Medy of laisart.

Adah renews her entreaties that he may turn to the true God, and advises him to seek. the 'assistance of the inspired prophet. Neiman yields, and consents to go to Samaria in search of Elisha. This scene is wound up with a most exquisite trio, " Haste, to Samaria let us go," which will probably be found to be the gem of the oratorio The aurae of Naaman's story here abruptly breaks off, to be resumed after a long intervaL The concluding of the first part contains the miracle, performed by Elisha, of making fresh water gush from the ground to refresh and fertilise the parched earth. This, again, brings to mind the similar miracle in Elijak, the rushing of the water being described by the orchestra in a somewhat similar way ; and the first part terminates like the first part of Elijah with a grand choral hymn of joy and thankarving. With the beginning of the second part there is not, as might have been expected, a return to the story of Naamao. The Shunamite woman already introduced, is lamenting over her dead child; and the scene which follows is very affecting and beautiful. The Prophet Elisha appears, and being informed of her calamity and witnessing her pious resigns, tion to the will of God, miraculously restores her dead child to her arms. This scene includes some of the finest things in the work ; a " sauctus "of angels, full of heavenly beauty • the prophet's solemn and earnest prayer to God ; and an air in which the restored child, wakening from his trance, describes a dream in which lie bad heard the singing of the angels. This scene ends with a fugued chorus, " Thanks, grateful thanks, Almighty Lord," most masterly in construction and happy in effect. At length the story returns to Nauman and his fortunes. He appears, approach ing, with his retinue, the dwelling of Melia. Com plying with the directions of the prophet, be per forms his ablutions in the Jordan, and is straightway cored of his malady. Haman recognises in Elisha the venerable man whom he had Nellie a vision. He is a convert to the true faith, and the piece ends with several fine airs and choruses expressive of joy and gratitude to heaven. There is, in particular, a moat beautiful quartet in canon, sung by M.llle. Patti, Miss Palmer, Sims Reeves, and Santley ; and there is a magnificent choral fugue, which displays the an fixer's complete mastery of all the resources of counterpoint.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS AT MILE-END. Yesterday afternoon Mr. John Humphreys re sumed and concluded an inquiry which he opened on the 29th tilt., into the circumstances of the death of Frances flecking's= and Mary N. Gribbin, whose bodies were found dead io a room at 21, Albert Cottage*, Mile-end New-town, on Friday, the 26th ult. It will be remembered that the first witness called on the last occasion was John Forking halm the husband of one of the deceased women ; bet it soon transpired that he was a perfect imbecile, and the coroner declined to proceed with his evidence, which was of a con tradictory and inconclusive character. The women, it was proved on that occasion, had been drinking hard tot several days. The first witness called yesterday was Lydia Gutsy, a neighbour, who was in the habit of sitting with the de °sued persons. She said she fetched beer for them, and some 'M, but nothing else. She saw no powder or anything alas put into the beer or gin which the deceased persons drank. Elizabeth Wsptaff, of 27, Albert Gotten's, rid she knew Lydia Goozey, the last edema and had had some conversation with her about this case. It was soon altar the foneraL She said that Mrs. Beckingliam had offered a white powder to her husband, but that he would not take it, so she took some of it herself and pre the not to her sister. She then said that both of them were very sick afterwards. She rid they put the powder in some beer. Mary Anne Hoare, of 22. Arundel-street, Bethnal-green, said Mrs. Gribbin bad been a lodger of here, having occupied • back room in her house nearly a month. She was not • person of sober habits. She got op tipsy sod went to bed tipsy—in fact, she had beer fetched her at eight o'clock in the morning. By the Jury—Never heard her threaten to take her own life or that of her sister. Dr. Henry Letheby, professor of chemistry is the Loodoa Hospital, detailed the analyses which he had made. Potash was present in both cases, and in one to a large exteot. The potaah must have been taken in the form of caustic of pot ash, or carbonate of potash, or cyadine of potassium. His own opieion was that cyadine of potation= had been taken. It wee a deadly poison, the active principle being prussic said. It was more easily obtained than any other, in con sequence of its being el gine/ally used. Dr. Caytoo, who waa examined on a previous occaaion, was re-called, and asked by the jury whether the man Bsckiogham could have lived so long in the room as he ap peared to have done without food. He said that a man could live that time, three days, without food. The Coroner reminds 4 the jury that when the room was broken into crumbs of bread were found on the flour, so that the man had probably been feeding during the time he was there. Dr. Gusto', in answer to a jurym►n, said s person would live half an hour, or ao hour attbe outside, after takiag such poison as Dr. Letheby had described. The Caresser in summing up went carefully through the facts of the case, sod described with great ostentation the circumstance' under which the bodies were dimmed. Hs also commented upon the medical sr'demos which had ben Ths j . nry after a brief consultation returned as their Yee- Ent, That the deceased persons died from the effects of paten. , but how it was administered there was no evidence to show.

SEPTEMBER 8, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Won Mr. Sorjeant Gassier.) Thomas WA yman wu indicted as follows :—On the 17th of August, between 8 and 9 o'clock is the morning, the driver of the 8.25a.m. train from Enfield to Loden, when travelling near a curve on the line close to Mr. Ellie's occu pation, crook% between Enfield and Edmonton sutious, observed a art-horse running upon the line io the direction of the train that was approaching. He whistled to direct the guard of the train to apply his break, and be shut o ff the steam and reversed the engine. The life guard or pro jecting irons ie front of the engine, however, struck the horse while the train was still in motion and pu shed it along the line for about 190 yards, the animal's body getting en tangled with the front wheel and lifeguard until the train could be stopped, which was done as quickly as possible. The train was travelling, when the driver first sew the horse, at the rate of about Similes an hoar. but from the position of the line the driver could not see the obetruotion for more than , about 160 yards. The driver saw no an who appeared to be in charge of the horse. The guard of the train, hearing the driver whistle twice, immediately put the break oe, and looked out of his van to amentaie the cause, when he saw • horse's heed against the wheel of the engine. The train was stopped within about 200 yards from the place where the horse was struck by the engine. On the train coming to a standstill the guard unscrewed the life guard of the engine and removed the horse, which wu then dead, from the line. It further turned out that the prisoner and a lad named Howell had been sent that morning by their master, Mr. Ellis, to fetch a hone belonging to Mr. &coke out of a Sum field adjoining the railway. It clearly appeared that it we through the prisoner's gross carelessness in ope w : e i r ii the gates of the creasing before the horse was that it got open the line, am it was his duty to catch the hone in the field first, and to keep the gates of the creaming cloud until that was done, or to place a person on each side of the crossing to prevent the horse running up or down the line. The prisoner, however, opened both the gates while the hone was loose id running at large, and he tookno precaution whatever to prevent it getting on the line. It wee stated that the act cowhand of was one calculated greatly to alarm those in charge of the train, and was fraught with the utmost danger to all travelling by it, as had not the life guard fortunately protected the wheels of the en gine as it did, the train would in all probability have been thrown off the line, and considering the speed at which it was then travelling, the convequoaraa most have been moat disaatrons to the lives and limbs of those being conveyed by it, as there wu no doubt that the train had a very narrow escape. Mr. Metcalfe said the company felt hound to prosecute in this case, with the view of ensuring sa far as possible the safety of their penmen but without wishing to press the matter unduly against the prisoner, who appeared to have done what he could when too late to remedy his great want of proper precaution. The facts having been proved by Thome' Smith, engine driver, Hewitt Rate, guard to the train, and James Howell, the boy, The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Metcalfe said it was no desire ou the part of the Great Fasters Railway Company to press the court to punish the r, but to protect the passecgers on their line, and to pruner, a caution to all persons for the future against doing aoy thing on the line which might lead to the most dreadful consequences. Mr. Serjeant Gaselee, adopting that view. ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognisance, in the sum of BM to come up for judgment when called upon. TBi INDECT3T ASSACLT ON TEE RAIIIMISMITR RAILWAY. John Barter, 45, of No. 40, Arlington-street, Morning toe.cresoent, was charged with indecently assaulting Ellen Scott in a railway carriage on the Hammersmith Railway. He surrendered in discharge of his bail. Mr. Clark prosecuted on behalf of the Great Western Railway Company ; Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner, who pleaded not guilty. The pertioulars of the ease have already appeared. Evidence having been given, Mr. Sleigh addreseed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said he was glad his client had pleaded guilty to a com mon assault. There could be so doubt that the prisoner had been drinking all that afternoon. and did what be would always be very sorry for. He (Mr. Sleigh) endorsed 1 whas Mr. Clarke, bad said, that this was a meet important ! case, and if the Great Western Railway Company had not prosecuted the prisoner, they would have been guilty of a great dereliction of duty. He might say the company did not seek for scything like vengeance, they only wanted to keep their carriages pure and to protect the public from insult. His client was a man in highly respectable employment— he would not mention the firm—and he would call a whole host of respectable persons who had known the prisoner from childhood, and who would give him au unexception able character for sobriety and moral conduct. He denied that his client put his hand in an indecent manner upon the prosecutrix. At the same time he bad all along confessed to conduct which be was sure he would regret to his dying day. And even if the jury only found a verdict of common amain it would occasion him to be pointed at by every de cent person. The learned counsel then called about a dozen witnesses, who gave the prisoner an unexceptionable character for bosesty, morality, and sobriety. Mr. Serjeut Gauls* then summed up the evidence, and said this was a most serious offence, as well for the public as the railway company. If the jury were of opinion that the prisoner put his hand under her clothes at all that was an indecent assault. If they thought there was any doubt, they would then take into consideration the good character the several witnesses had given him. They had heard the evidence, and it was for them to say whether or not the pri soner wu guilty of assaulting the prosecutrix. The jury consulted, and after deliberating for a few mi mutat, returned • verdict of Gitikv, but strops!), recom mended him to the mercy of the court on account of his previous good character. Mr. Clarke said the railway company had noobject is paw ing for severe punishment Mr. Sleigh said after that he hoped the court would deal mercifully with the prisoner, and inflict a fine, for if the prisoner was sent to prison be would be utterly ruined. Mr. Serjeaut Gaselee, in passing sentence, laid—The jury have recommended you to mercy. and the railway company have stated through their counsel that they did not wish for severe punishment, as they only wanted to keep their car riages pure. Unfortunately for you these occurrences are of great frequency, and but for the recommendation of the jury I should have given you a sentence that would have astonished you. It was absolutely necessary that an example should be made to deter others from committing the like offences. Everybody now a days was crying out for pro tection for their wives and children against insult in railway carriages, and taking all things into consideration, the sentence of the court upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. The prisoner, who seemed astonished at the sentence, and who was much agitated, was removal. THE POLICE COURT& MA.\SION•HOUSE Daniel Chrialopher, described as a clerk. residing in Gloucester, wee brought before the Lord Mayor, in custody of Serpent Webb, on a warratitchargiag him with feloniously and maliciously sending • letter to Mr. Thomas Duck Hopper. merchant, of Eastcheap, threatening to shoot him, he knowing the cootents of the same. Mr. Sleigh ted. ft appeared from Mr. Sleigh's opening and the 'sidearm of the prosecutor, that Dome time siooe Mr. Hopper had in hie establishment a gentleman named Jones. who at his death nominated him as one of his executors. Mr. Hopper. accord ing to a promise made to Mr. JOINS on his death bed, had behaved with some kindness to the widow, and had advised her in matters where she needed it, and she at bee death left both Mr. Hopper and his wife a legacy of 10/. each. In the beginning of August the prisoner called at the office of the prosecutor. and mid he was Daniel Christopher, nephew to the late Mrs. Jones. sad that he had come to inquire about liar will. The prosecutor told him be used nob have goes to him for it, as the solicitor had sent him•oopy of it. Upon that the poisoner left, and on the 9th August he went again to Mr. Hopper's office, and said Mrs. Hopper bed been left • legacy, and he thought he ought to have it. The prose cutor told him that was his aunt's business, and the pri soner demanded the reason his aunt had not left him any thing, and he told him he perhaps knew best why it was ; end as the prisoner pressed the question be told him be believed it was because his aunt did not think be was worthy. The prisoner then said be, Mr. Hopper, had a legacy of 10/., and in • very insolent manner said he had better give it him. The prosecutor declined. and the pri. sprier became very excited, and said he (Mr. Hopper) should die, sod it would not be loon first. and he would me him at his death. The prisoner then left, and on the 13th August the prosecutor received from him • letter, dated from Gloucester on the 12th Aug., which contained • para graph to the following effect :— " T. D. Hooper—Robber, You old mooned/el, you were not content with the money you robbed my uncle of during his lifetime, but you played your cards upon my aunt. You took her out in your carriage and fed her with brandy, knowing her weak. Dada and took my share of ber money. I mlled on you to me if you hod • spark of feeling ; bat found you had none. I give you fair wafting that I inked to shoos you. lam no assassin, but shall be quick on you. Look out; be pre pared with a revolver, sod when I call out ' Hopper,' you must tura roiled quick and shoot at me. You shall have first fire if you like, but you shall die afterwards." Mr. Hopper took no notice of this letter ; sod on the 3rd of September he received another letter, which was enclosed in one from Mr. England. of the Usioe, Keynsham, which was also from the prisoner, and • portion of it ran as fol lows :—" The late Mr. and Mrs. Jones's nephew informs you tha won as possible, he will come to Loudon it'd will t, *sill on you at Eastehesp, as stated: Fore-warned is forearmed, so be reedy with • revolver, as I shall. Yon have the Areal. There will be a duel fought without saccade. You shall have fair play, for I cannot be an assassin ; but will scatter your brains from under your white hairs as sure as the sun shines." Upon this awarrant was applied for, which was granted, and in the bands of Sergeant Webb for aseentioe, and placed to Heynsham, in Somersetsbire, and toned the prisosser in the union there, where he bad bees placed, hay ing been found suffering from delirium tremens. Mr. Eng land, the governor, pointed out the prisoner to him, and be reed the warrant, and told the prisoner he should take him beck to Leedom. Wben in the Pittway carriage, the pri mmer rid he sent the letters, sod had a great deal to settle with Mr. Hopper. which he would be sorry for, sad said, "Yea don't wan to say that that old scoundre l has takes 1864. the law naiad me. He haa robbed me and other pawns u well. He took my aunt oat and drugged her, and mede the will himself, and got some one else to witness it, and robbed him oat of all she left, and was &greater rogue than nay coo thought for;" and the prancer concluded by wring that he would seater his brains over hie shoes as sure aa he had a head on hie shoulders. _ _ Thin constituted the cue against the prisoner, who when the prosecutor got into the witness-box was so greatly agi tated that he was obliged to sit down. He bore himself somewhat peculiarly during the whole of the proceedings. When asked if he wished to say anything, he said be was a fool to think such an old rogue would accept the challenge. He had been too merciful to him. He (the peceiecutor)ought have been hung long ago if he had his desert. The prisoner was committed for trial. CLIIRKENWELL. I ilk. Thomas Smith, gold and silver ohain maaufsstnrer, of 2.5, Woodbridge-street, Clerkenwell, appeared before Mr. Barker to answer an toformatiou made upon oath by Mr. William Baker, of the well.knowu firm of Parker and Stone, gold and silver chain manufacturers, of Myddlittoo street, Clerkenwell, under the act 5 and 6 Victoria, to con solidate and amend the laws relating to copyrights of de signs for ornamenting articles of manufacture oontrary to the statute, &c. Mr. Lewis, of Wilmington-square, solicitor to the Pre cious Metals Association, attended in support of the com plaint ; and Mr. Thomas Wakeling, of Great Percy-street, Clerkenwell, for the defence. The defendant, upon the suggestion of Mr. Wakeling, pleaded, " not guilty. Mr. Lewis opened the race at some length. and said the complainants in this cue were wholesale jewellets of greet notoriety, and the defendant bad formerly been in their employ u a workman, but about six weeks since had left their employ, and having entered into partnership with another of the complainants' workmen, had now com menced business on theijown amount. The complainants were the registered owners of a design for a gold chain, known in the Made as the Alexandra. That design was registered in March, 1863, by the complainants; and at that tune the defendant was in their employ, and was well aware that the design had been registered, and that he had no right to use it without the consent and sanction of the complainants. This chain, the subject of the present claim, had been made solely by the complainants, and its mile had been a great mimic He might state that the fast idea of the design came from a Frenchman, then in the employ of the complaisant', but who had now left, bat it was not until a great deal of time and labour had been exed on it by the complainants that the pattern was comp and protection waa:obtained for it. The present proceedings were taken under the 7th section of the Design sod Regis tration Acts, sth and 6th Victoria, cap . . 100, and by the IGth section the protection of the register was made evi dence. The register, numbered 169,806, and dated March 24, 1863, having bean put in, *r. Witham Parker, a member of the firm of Parker and Stone, gave evidence confirming the foregoing statement. The Alexandra pattern registered he got from a Mr. Boutin, a Frenchman in their employ. Mr. Wakeliog having admitted the sale of the chain, the subject of the present complaint, Mr. Edward Watson, of King-street, Cliespside, gold smith and jeweller, said he had been in the trade many years. and never saw the Alexandra patters before it was introduced by the complainants. Mr. Lewis said that was the calm on behalf of the com plainants. Mr. Wakeling said it would be necessary to have an ad journment, and he might state that he had a clear answer to the cue, and that it was his determination to pot Bosom into the witness-box. He might also state that he should shape his defence under the sth section of the act. Mr. Barker adjourned the case for • week. WORSHIP•STREET. Williams Hers*, described as • pprriowter, in Albert-dust, Bethnal-green. was charged with droakennese sad creating • diaturhanoe in Devonshire-street, Peepoey. Mr. George Sadler, licensed victualler, of 137, Highatmet Poplar, mid—Last evening, while returning home, the de fendant, whole • total stranger to me, followed, sodi with out speaking amused himself by tapping my head on each side with a folded newspaper. Naturally indignant, I in quired what wee mast by such familiarity ; bat the only answer I received was, "Go along." Perceiving my new ac quaintance was a little in liquor, I took no further notice, std motioned my journey, bat again the newspaper wee ia trodocal to my notice in the same Whim u before, and I then desired the defendant to desist end take another path. He said he was aa &raise, and should go where he liked. Once more I tuned, but had saircely done so, when he grasped my neckerchief with such violates behind that I thought he had an intention to garotte me. Defendant—You don't say anything about the fearful state I was in from your violeace. I was covered with blood. Complainant—Well, I certainly struck you as soon as I could disengage myself, and then you charged me with bawls, stolen your watch. But for being known to the police I might have been dragged to the station-house ; is it was, I went there respectably. I think I ought to have charged you with en mach. Defendant— I wu in liquor, and did believe you had my watch, but am not under that impression now. Complainant—Thank you. lefeedant— I mass have lost it directly after I left one of the public-houses. Mr. Ellison—lf you will take such a quantity of drink ea leads to the commission of such misconduct as is now proved against you, you must put up with the coorequenoe. Had this gentleman not have struck you, and infieted a well. merited puniahment, I should deal with the cam very dif. fereatly to that which is my intention. (Complaisant is a very powerful mac.) Think yourself well off in being allowed I. leave upon the payment of Is. 6d., and in default an imprisonment of five days. A STIFT-MOUSY MAGISTRATE FOR BERWS.T.AD.

The CauemaN submitted a resolution empowering the direeton, in conjunction with the Bristol and Exeter and the South Dena Railway Companion, to effect certain financial arrangements proposed to be entered into with the Cornwall Railway Company. The interest of this company in the Cornwall amounted to two-nintbe, the other seven tieths being charged between the Bristol and Exeter and the South Devoe Companies. It was very desirable in the interest of the three associated companies that the Cornwall Company should been tabled to complete and perfect th e i r line to Falmouth, and this resolution bad that object in view. In point of fact, the proposed was simply to exchange two-ninths of liabilities at the rate of 4 per cent, upon 149.0001., for two-ninths at 6 per ant. upon tk),OCO/.

HIDBS AND LEATHER.--Since the publication of our circular of :ltd nit. the leather trade has retained a steady position. The demand has continued on the scale of Cu. mediate requirements only, but even that has equalled the supplies, and has, therefore, sufficed to prevent say increase of stock. Prices, u may be supposed under such circumstances, have .namely at all varied. 'The demand fur heavy foreign butts is still limited, for which possibly the long continuance of dry weather may in some degree account. So loss as tie high value of money pre rails any very decided change in the state of the leather market can scarcely be looked for, but we may fairly eipect that the consumptive demand at this season, after a gene. rally satisfactory harvest, will increase rather this dimioisli. Is raw goods the transactions have not been large, and shwa but slight variations in priest. The imports have been of moderate extent, and in most articles the stocks are not ma• torially increased.
