IORD PALMERSTON AT SHEFFIELD.- GRAND BANQUET. SHEFFIELD, FRIDAY. This evening the Mayor of Sheffield, John Brown, Esq., gave a grand banquet in the Cutler's Hall. There was a large and influential attendance, in cluding Lord Palmerston, J. A. Roebuck, Esq., M.P., G. Hadfield, Esq., M.P., Mr, S,;heriii Twenty - man, London ; Mr. Alderman Gibbon, London ; most of the principal mayors, and other leading gentlemen in the country. The guests numbered about 300. The reception given to Lord Palmer aten was most enthusiastic, and most of the interval passed in the reception-room. His: lordship en tered freely into conversation with the gentlemen present, and was in an excellent mood for ernelting jokes, many of which were provocative of much laughter. The banquet which was provided by Mr. Meyer, of the Victoria Hotel, included every delicacy of the season. After the cloth was drawn the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were duly honoured; the healths of the Dukes of Norfolk and Wharncliffe were next heartily re sponded to. His Lordship the MAYOR, amidst great cheering, then proceeded to propose the health of the greatest man thekingdom possessed—(applause)—the Right Hon. Lard Palmerston. He did so on behalf of the corporation of Sheffield and the town generally. (Great cheers.) On this occasion, his lordship said, he haC the company of not only the greatest man in England but the greatest man in the world. (Rear ; hear.) Lord Palmerston accepted the in visitations of the mayor and corporation with the greatest cordiality, and they were honoured with the company of the man who was great in council, and whose word must be respected. He would only remind his hearers of the deep anxiety which Lord Palmerston on all occasions manifested on be half Jf the interest of the country. He was always ready to raise his voice in the interest of the country, and he had, therefore, great pleasure in calling on the company to drink the health of Lord Palmerston. (Enthusiastic cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said it would require more eloquence than fell to the lot of man to ex press the deep feelings he entertained for the manner in which the company had received his name, and also far the kind and cordial reception he had met with, on his first entrance into the town. He had on former occasions been invited to the Cutlers' feast, 'but circumstances had unfortunately prevented him from accepting the invitations. The Mayor had on this occasion, however, selected a day after the prorogation of Parliament, which, for tunately Par him (Lord Palmerston), enabled him to accept the invitation, and he was now in Sheffield, and fe7e grateful for the cordial reception he had met with. He regarded his reception in Sheffield as an, approval of a great and intelligent constitu ency-, and that approval was the more valuable, beca use on one side of the chairman he saw his fr'iand Mr. Roebuck, and on the other Mr. Hadfield, t h e two representatives of Sheffield in the House of C , ommons, He (Lord Palmerston) had a high value 'of the choice of Sheffield in two such representa tives. They were English in their feelings and sentiments, and on that account he attached greater weight to the opinions the people of Sheffield might attach to his conduct, as one of her Majesty's Go vernment. Nothing could be more interesting to those who were charged with the conduct of the affairs of the country, than to visit those places of :national industry, to see in the first place men, who, by their industry, their energy, and their integrity, had amassed large fortunes, which exposed them, not to the jealousy of their neighbours, but obtained for them the universal approbation of those by whom they were surrounded, They saw in these communities first of all men who had attained this position, they thus saw men struggling in the course destined, perhaps, some day to overtake those who had gone before ; but they were all employed in the most honourable pursuits, in amassing wealth, which was not only wealth to them, but wealth, honour, and prosperity to their country ; and not least of all was gratifying to him to see those steady and honest workmen, the strength and stamina of the cotratry, specimens of that stubborn, manly, and honourable class of Englishmen, who formed the strength of the country, and made it the admiration of all who came amongst us. (Cheers.) Some of these, though now in the humblest walks of life, as is the case in many manufacturing and commercial cities, might be possessed of wealth, which they would know how to employ. Such were the results oc our free institutions ; they were also the results of the general enlightenment which pervaded all classes of the community, and they had in late years been greatly increased by the practical application of those principles of freedom in commerce and ex change which, though late in acquirement, had been imparted in practice, and had contributed much to the prosperity of the country. The mayor had adverted to the general principles, which, though not immediately connected with commercial prosperity, were yet in reality connected with it— fie meant those principles of providing for the de fence of the country—(cheers)—and engaging in needless wars; not preparing for aggression, as our neighbours—(hear)---not defiant tier insulting, but ready to maintain our defences. That was a course which every nation that respected itself ought to follow, and surely a nation like this,which depended upon the freedom of the seas, which lived and pros pered by bringing to its shores, from the remotest parts of the world,all the products which supported our trade and supplied our luxuries, ought to main tain its defences. A nation so situated was pecu liarly interested in its means of defence not only far its honour, but for its commerce ; that principle ougat, however, to be carried out with a due regard to economy ; but economy consisted,not in keeping our money in our pockets, but in spending it care fully and wisely,and in purchasing what was wanted, and giving no more than it was worth, that wasEno._ the p r i nc ipl e w hi c h an i ma t e d peop l e o f '"liand although we all wished to pay as little tax as Poßaible'they could pay wh at was necessary, at the same is 10 see that it was p ro p er ly a p p li e d. Hi s lordship then referred to the distress in Lancashire, complimenting th e wouldperatives on their endurance ; but thought all admit that Government was wise in not attempting to r i e e h t eve that distress by an interference in the American war; such an inter ference, he considered, would d worse, and therefore the Government make matters advised her Majesty to observe a strict and must h ope, said his and r i gid d neutrality in that unhappy conflict. sa an lordship, that all evils will haae d, and that charitable feeling would yet prevail o il the other side of the Atlantic, and that another y ear not see the deluge of blood which . characteri sed the present p er i o d . His lor d s hip, after having again thanked the company for their kind reception, re burned his seat amid great applause. EDWARD BRAMLEY, Esq., proposed "The Health of the Borough Members ;" to which Mr. ROEBUCR. replied. The hon. gentleman spoke at considerable length, and with more than his uenal 'eloquence, on many topics. Referring to the civil war in America, he said he had no doubt that Ame rica would be divided into two. He thought she would be divided into five, and for ever cease to be "United States." (Cheers.) An irresponsible people, possessed of almost omnipotent power, was not to be trusted. The conduct of the North in endeavouring to re-unite the State of America was an immoral proceeding, and totally incapable of success. (No, and Yes.) They never ceula Le re-- united. (Cheers.) The present was 'a mere waste of blood and treasure—it was' no war against slavery, In th e N or th th e f ee li ng ag ainst th e bl ac k In 11 `A'cis stronger than in the South, and to-morrow if the Statna were re-united slavery would be more strongly fi„ d than ever. (Hear.) He spoke of the insolent overbearing conduct of the Americans, remarking that we • had been wond er f u lly careful of their sensitive feelings, but the brightest spot upon the noble Premier's escutcheon was the bold, the grand stand he took in th e name of the people of England in the cause of America. (Cheers.) Ame rica would be better governed if divided, and one of the divided States would be a b le to bully the whole world. We did not like to be bullied ; they had tried it on u s, and the noble lord b ad shown them the re su lt on one occasion. He (Mr. Roebuck) now came to the moral of his tale. He looked to the sufferings of the British people, and he entreated the noble lord to weigh well the consequences of so called perfect neutrality. There had not yet been perfect neutrality. England had :hipped to the shores of America every possible means of ag gression. At this moment we were supplying the L Northern States of America with rti ery possible means of offence and aggression, and he asked the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) to consider whether the time had not come for him to be the first in Europe to ask the great Powers of Europe to re , cognise the Southern States. (No, no, and cheers.) Six months would not pass over before it was done. After speaking in the highest terms of the patient fortitude manifested by the Lancashire operatives amid their sufferings arising from want of the usual supply of American cotton, he referred to the topic of European intervention, remarking that a hand held out from Europe would put a stop to the great Effusion of blood, and stop the exhaus tion of the Treasury, and, at the same time, restore happiness to the homes of many hard-working men in this country. (Loud applause.) Lord PALMERSTON proposed the " Health of the Mayor, and prosperity of the Corporation of Shef field," and, in so doing, spoke favourably of the working of municipal and local self-government. At a later period the noble PREMIER proposed the " Health of the Ladies," in terms of facetious gaiety. The proceedings terminated about half-past 10 o'clock. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, Aug. 8. CROWN SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) GAROTTE ROBBERY. Alfred Murray, 22, and Daniel Wood, 30, were charged with feloniously assaulting and robbing Arther Chandler of a gold watch and other pro perty. Mr. Hance conducted the prosecution, and in opening the case he said that it was one of those garotte robberies that had of late been of such fre quent occurrence, and which had created so much alarm in the public mind. Mr. A. Chandler deposed that he was a solicitor, and resided at Lambeth-terrace. On Sunday even ing, the 20th of July, about half-past eleven o'clock, he was near his house, on his way home, and just as he got close to his own door he heard footsteps ' behind him, and was suddenly seized round the throat, his breath was nearly stopped, and he was almost strangled. He was held by two men, and a third man came up in front of him and jerked his watch out of his Docket, at the same time saying, "Choke" or " Kill the --; he is too strong." He had a plain view of the man who held his throat, and he was quite sure it was the pri soner Murray. He also recognised the other pri soner as one of the party, but he had not an oppor tunity of seeing him as well as the other. Witness was forced to the ground, and for a short time was nearly insensible, and when he had slightly re covered he saw the three men crossing the road, and one of them had his hat in his hand. The pri soner Murray was taken into custody on the fol lowing morning, and he recognised him imme diately. The other prisoner was not apprehended until the following Wednesday. He added that he was unable to call out for assistance on account of the manner in which his throat had been com pressed. _ _ The prisoner Murray put some questions to the prosecutor, with a view to show that he was mis taken as to his identity, but he persisted in saying that he was positive he was one of the men who attacked him. Thomas Macaulay, a police-constable, proved that - he was passing along the road when the rob bery was committed, and saw three men running very fast in a direction from the place where the prosecutor was attacked, and he identified the pri soners as two of these men. He heard of the rob bery about two o'clock the same morning, and ap prehended Murray in the course of the day. He subsequently apprehended the other prisoner at a brothel where he lived, and the prosecutor identi fied them the instant he saw them. Both prisoners, when called upon for their de fence, asserted that they were innocent, and Wood went into a long statement, in which he argued at considerable length upon the improbability that the prosecutor or the policeman could have identi fied him when they had each so short an opportu nity of seeing him. Mr. Baron Bramwell having summed up, The jury acquitted the prisoner Wood and found Murray Guilty. George Lewis, 21, tailor, was charged with a similar offence upon Francis Judd. Mr. Dickie prosecuted. This case was similar in its circumstances to the last. The prosecutor was passing along Bermond sey-street, on his way home, ahoat 11 o'clock at night, when he was assailed by three men, one of whom seized him by the throat, and his watch was then snatched from him, and he was also robbed of 2s. 9d. The men then ran off, but a constable, who was coming in an opposite direction, stopped the prisoner and another man, and after a short struggle he was secured, and the prosecutor came up and identified him. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, declared that he was innocent, and that he heard the alarm, and he was running after the thieves when the constable stopped him. The jury returded a verdict of guilty. Ackroyd, a constable of the F division, produced a certificate of the conviction of the prisoner at the Middlesex Sessions in 1860 of a similar robbery, and he was sentenced to two years' hard labour, and he had only been a very short time out of prison when this offence was comm i tted. At the time he was convicted it appeared that there were several other convictions for felony against him. The other prisoner, Murray, was then placed at the bar, and in answer to inquiries made by the learned judge, it appeared that he was not known to the police, and he most earnestly asserted his inno cence. The learned judge, in passing sentence, said that these offences were of the mast atrocious character, and people were almost a f ra id to wa lk i n th e streets at night in consequence of them. It was absolutely necessary that they should be repressed by severe punishment, and with regard to the pri soner Lewis he felt it his duty to bentence him to 20 years' penal servitude. As to the other prisoner, he had been convicted by the la ry, and he was bound to pass a sentence upou that conviction — but it' hereafter he should be able t o show that he had been improperly convicted he Iv °Ilk!, in all pro. bability, have an opportunity of d:dng so. At pre sent, however, he had no alternative but to sen tence him to ten years' penal servi t ude. Murray left the bar sobbing and. declaring that he was innocent, but the other p , risoner, Lewis, was very violent, and threatened t: he police officer who had given evidence against his a that when he got out he would " hang for him." This concluded the criminal busr,:ness. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Mil r tin.) DICKSON V. TIIE CORPORATION OF LONDON.

WESTERN Cate* urr.—BODMIN, AUG. 7. (&•I)re Mr. 4 ustice THE MURDER AT LAUNCESTON. John Doidge was'lllt licted for the wilful murder of Roger Drew, at S Stephen -by-Launceston, on June 7. In submit' Ling The case to the jury, Mr. Stock, the counsel for the prosecution, stated that Roger Drew, the r n urdered man, lived at Laagore, near Launceston. He was 57 years of age, and although he had , a wife she was in service, and having no relati• re o:r servant he lived alone. He occupied a small 4 tenement, consisting of a, kitchen TUB SUN, LONDON, -- SAVIIII) A Y BVICSTIN(4, AigGIIIST 9, 1P62, on the ground floor, with a shop adjoining it. The kitchen was the place in which he lived, and in which he carried on a small trade in groceries. In his shop he carried on the business of a carpenter; there was a room over the kitchen, in which he slept. There was a door leading into the public road, and another leading into his yard. Under the same roof dwelt a man named Cory, who occupied a room ou the ground-floor and a room over it. Cory's back door led into Drew's yard. The parti tion between the two dwellings was so thin that ordinary noises taking place in the house of one could be heard in the house of the other. Drew:was a man of very quiet and temperate habits, and although his circumstances were not known to his neighbours lie was reputed to be a man in the possession of money. He was in the habit of spend ing his evenings at the Smith's Arms, kept by a man named Bassett, and there he smoked his pipe, taking one pint of ale, which he never exceeded. Bassett's house was on the opposite side of the road, 150 feet from Drew's house. On the ev ening of Saturday, the 7th of J une , D rew passe d his evening at Bassett's house, remaining, there 01 half-past 10, when he left for home. Nobody who could be called ever saw him again alive. On the morning of Sun day, the Bth of June, a woman named Mary Martin went to Drew's house to make a small purchase. She found the shutter had not been put up, and the outer door of the kitchen was locked. She looked through the window, and just inside she saw the body of Drew lying upon his face in a pool of blood. She was much alarmed, and gave immediate infor mation to Bassett, and Bassett and Cory went directly to the house. The body was lying on the face, one a rm underit, and the other down by the side. There was a large quantity of blood on the floor and splashes of blood on the wall and on the ceiling. The injuries which the deceased man had received were on and about the back of the head. They were most fear ful, and one of them would of itself have been suffi cient to cause death. The d ecease d was i n the ha bi t of taking off his shoes and putting on his slippers to go to bed. The body had one shoe off and the other partly unlaced, and the wounds being on the back of the head, the inference which must he drawn was that he was killed by one or more blows inflicted from behind when he was in the act of taking off his shoes. He fell upon his face, after which the other blows were inflicted, and as he fell so in all probability he died. There was blood on the table and also on the drawer which had been opened, and out of which had been taken a match-box, in which he ordinarily kept his silver. It was empty, but in another drawer was a little percussion-cap box in which five sovereigns were found after his death. It appeared from the evidence that the murderer afterwards went about the house, as marks of blood were found, but nothing of consequence was taken away. Then came the question, who was the murderer P The prisoner was a labourer working about in the neighbourhood, lodging at the house of one Sutton, on the opposite side of the road to the deceased and a little farther up the road, the distance between the public-house and Sutton's being only 90 feet. The prisoner had been latterly out of work, and Sutton having ceased to supply him with food as he had previously done, threatened to turn him out. The prisoner was well acquainted with the deceased, and was in the habit of frequenting the same public-house. He was there on the Saturday night, and talked to the deceased. The prisoner left the public-house about a quartei -past 10 that night. The deceased did not leave till half-past 10. Just before 11 o'clock Cory, who lived under the same roof as the deceased, had occasion to go out of his back door, and while there he heard the deceased and the prisoner in Drew's kitchen in conversation, and it appeared to be a quiet friendly conversation. Cory's wife also heard the voices. The Corys went to bed about 12 o'clock that night. The man fell asleep, but was awakened by a loud noise in Drew's kitchen, like a heavy fall, and he made a remark to his wife about it, and then he fell asleep again. Cory's wife then heard what she believed to be the steps of a man going upstairs in Drew's house. Shortly before the murder the prisoner told a per son he wanted to get a little money, and that he would leave the country. On the Sunday morning the prisoner got up at six o'clock and went out. Although he had lodged at Sutton's for two years, on no former occasion had he ever been known to leave his bed-room before eight or nine o'clock on a Sunday morning. He continued going in and out of the house until taken into custody later in the day. These, connected with the finding of some of Drew's tobacco concealed in Sutton's garden, the finding of blood on the prisoner's clothes, and other circumstances, were the facts relied upon for bring ing the murder home to the prisoner. Dr. Taylor examined these spots of blood, and declared they were recent, as were also marks of blood on a bill-book belonging to the prisoner, and with which there was a probability that he com mitted the murder. The learned judge having summed up, the jury retired at half-past 4 o'clock, and after an absence of 20 minutes came into court and returned a verdict of Guilty. The learned Judge then, having put on the black cap, addressed the prisoner in the following terms :—After a full investigation of this dreadful charge the jury have thought it right to find you guilty of murder, aid I am bound to say that I quite concur in their verdict. It is not my duty nor my inclination to aggravate the horrors of your present condition by dwelling upon the enormity of your guilt, I only mention it in order that you may be deeply sensible that there are no hopes of mercy for you on this side of the grave. The learned judge then passed upon the prisoner the awful sen tence of death. _ _ _ The prisoner, who had been unmoved during the whole of the trial, then walked from the bar. SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—AuG. 8. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) THE MURDER AT BIRKENHEAD, James Craig, 21, labourer, Birkenhead, was in dicted on the charge of feloniously murdering James Caine, at Birkenhead, on the 22d of June last. Mr. Brandt stated the case, and said that deceased, in company with several other men, went into the Grapes pubic-house on Sunday evening, June 22, and remained until about 10 o'clock, when most of them left the house, the deceased being last. About five minutes after he had left the house he was found upon the pavement dead. A man named Jones, of Liverpool, was near to the Grapes at the time deceased came out of the house, and then three or four men stood round him. He distinctly saw the prisoner strike a man with what was ap parently a life-preserver, and the other three men stood by at the time. After the deceased had been . struck by the man he fell on the ground, when he (the prisoner) Licked him twice or three times about the back of the head. Jones ran away and crossed over to Liverpool, and never mentioned anything about the matter until about a month after, when he told the police at Birkenhead what he saw, and he was at once taken to Chester to see if he could identify the prisoner, who was put in a yard with other prisoners. On the prisoner passing him Jones said, " That is the man, I am sure of it ; he is dressed now in the same way as he was on the Sunday night the murder was committed." The Jury, after consulting about 20 minutes, re urned a verdict of not guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aug 8. Henry Walton, alias Henry Spiller, known as " Dr. Walton," was indicted for keeping a brothe in Castle-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, instructed by Mr. J. Allen, the parish solicitor, St. Ann's ; and Mr. Bex ley defended. From the evidence ad luced it appeared that the defendant kept a surgery, or an imitation one, called "The Lock Dispensary," as he advertised by biils and placards, No: 77, Castle-street, hut it was the regular resort of old men, 60, 70, or 80 years of age, who picked up and decoyed young girls, some no older than 12 'years, to his place, and called them " patients," the prisoner receiving the profits of this atrocious traffic. The real character of this " dis pet,.ary" was put beyond all doubt by the evidence of the police, who had had the establishment under their eyes for some time. Witnesses were examined for the defence, but their evidence did not effect that for the prosecu tion, indeed confirmed it. The defendant was found guilty, and His Lordship, who concurred entirely in the ver dict, sentenced him to hard labour for 12 calendar months, to pay a fine of £2O, and to be kept in pri son till the fine be paid. The defendant, who seemed taken not a little aback at the sentence, was then removed. (Before Mr. Payne.) Rosa Lewis, a young woman, smart, but possess ing a mos t determined'' expression of countenance, `was indicted for assaulting the police. 1-c. .night r s - b i 1)1r. Abram prosecuted ; ' Mr. TE Giffard defended. droua k, t( il e a n nd t o he liins e - y, the prosecutor, said he was on ght of the 14th of July, in the High caused nutßid _ ,r,idge, when a great disturbance was the prisoner attacked him was trying to het trio Trevor Arms public -house.

On the way to the s t a tion, when after great difficulty she was secured on the stretcher, she succeeded in kicking the wit- i ness again, and she seized the arm of the assisting constable, end bit his coat sleeve through to the flesh. When at the station she was taken to a cell, and when at the door she seized the constable who then held her in charge by the hair of his head, got his thumb into her mouth, and severely bit it, and tried to kick him, and the policeman was obliged to hit her to make her let go. The defence was that the origin of the affair was a woman calling the defendant a foul name in the front of the bar of a public-house, for which she wanted to fight her and pursued her into the road. Then there was a charge of a robbery of a watch and chain, but the policeman would not take the person to whom that offence was imputed, but in stead took the prisoner. After a long trial the prisoner was found guilty, and the learned Judge sentenced her to four months' hard labour. She said she could do that asleep. POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE.-Aug . 8. BOW-STREET.— HIGIIWAY ROBBERY AND ASSAULT.—WiIIiam Walker, a well-dressed but repulsive-looking young man, was charged with the following outrage upon an elderly widow lady named Sarah Gover. The prosecutrix, whose face exhibited the marks of a violent blow, stated that she lived at Tooting, and had come to London with two female friends to see the Exhibition. Tt;ey did not know until they reached the building that it was a half-crown day, and not being able to afford more than a shil ling each, they returned to Charing-cross. They were standing at the corner of Adelaide-street and Chandos-street, Strand, at four o'clock, when she felt a pull at her pocket. She saw a boy withdraw his hand, and drop half-a-crown upon the pave ment. She cried out " That's mine," but at the moment she received a blow which knocked her down. She identified the prisoner as the person who struck her, and who also picked up the half crown. Mr. Henry asked the prosecutrix, who seemed almost exhausted, if she did not know Friday and Saturday were half-crown days. Witness—We thought it was Saturday only. The prisoner, on being asked if he had any ques tions to put, said—Someody gave me a blow with an umbrella, and I swung my hand round in re turn. I did not see who I was hitting, Sophia Harding, also a widow, from Bury St. Edmunds, said she was in company with the prose cutrix and another female, and saw the robbery and assault. The two boys who were with priso ner escaped, but the latter struck Mrs. Gover and picked up the money. Another witness deposed to having seen the pri soner strike the old lady in the chest and face with such violence that he thought he had almost killed her. Thomas Davies, 9, Jernivn-street, bootmaker, deposed to having followed . prisoner to Covent garden-market, where he was stopped by Alder man, the beadle, to whom he said, "I only gave a woman a bit of a blow." William Prior, 62 F, found a calf-crown on the prisoner, and another constable stated that. the pri soner had been once or twice before convicted of robberies with violence. Prisoner—That was a long time ago, and no vio lence. Mr. Henry—What are you, and where do you live ? Prisoner—l am a tailor, only there is no work doing now. Ido not live anywhere in particular. I go about from place to place—lodging-houses' coffee-shops, &e. I have no fixed abode. Mr. Henry—l shall remand you for a week, and then you will be committed for trial at the Old Bailey. MARLBOROUGH -.STREET. HAYMARKET REFRESHMENT HOUSES.—Matthew Thomas, John Tucker, and Daniel Margusoff were summoned be fore Mr. Knox by the police; for that they being licensed refreshment-house keepers, at No. 53, Haymarket, did unlawfully and knowingly suffer prostitutes to assemble and continue in the said house. Inspector Draper, C division, proved that after one o'clock, on the morning of the 25th of July, he visited No. 53, Haymarket, and found 15 prostitutes and seven men assembled there. Several of the women were taking coffee : he knew that the whole of the women there were women of the town. A person, who represented himself as proprietor, was informed by him of the number of prostitutes pre sent. Visited the house about two o'clock, and found four women ; at half-past three visited the house again, and found eight prostitutes there and ten men. Police-constable, 292 A, confirmed the above evi dence. The police stated there was no appearance of drunkenness or disorder in the L ouse. The women were not of the humbler class of prostitutes; they were all well dressed. The lower class of women would not be admitted. Mr. Sleigh, for the defence, was aware that other professional gentlemen, on similar evidence, had contended in vain that no offence under the Re freshment Licence Act had been committed. The Queen's Bench had decided in favour of the view hitherto taken by magistrates, but he was there to contend that this decision was incorrect. His as sertion was that the Legislature never intended to debar unfortunate women from entering public houses and refreshment-houses for the mere purpose of refreshment, even though they might enter such houses in numbers together. What the Legislature intended was, that women should not enter such houses for an immoral purpose. Now nothing of the sort had been proved in the present case. Mr. Knox said he did not want proof of that. The act did not require it. Mr. Sleigh said the evidence showed that the women went into the house for refreshment only, not as prostitutes ; and he was satisfied it was only because the house was located in the Haymarket that such a case was entertained by the Court. Mr. Knox said the point had been argued over and over again ; the same arguments had been urged on him, and he had done that which he thought most advisable. Under such circumstances he had put down a case in black and white, and had sent it to the Superior Courts, which had affirmed the view of the law he had taken. In one case where only seven women were present, and no in decency visible, the conviction was affirmed. His view of the law was that power was given to a magistrate to convict or nor, as might be best for the public interests, though certainly the act itself made no such limitation. The question for him now to determine was, whether it was for the pub lic interest that he should enforce the law with strictness. When he sat at the East end of the town he dismissed cases of a similar character. But what was the fact in these cases ? There might be only a few women inside the house, but there were 500 or 600 walking about outside. The Haymarket was the great centre. He did not wish to speak too harshly of the rascality of the prostitution of grown svomen and young children, and even worse crimes. The refreshment houses were part and parcel of the system. It might have been better had the clause been struck out, and that such houses should be closed at certain hours ; but as long as the law stood as it did, so long must he continue to convict. If his decision were objected to the par ties had the right of appeal Because the defen dant'a house was in the Haymarket he inflicted a fine of 405., an d costs . In the course of his address Mr. Sleigh took occa sion to refer to the construction of the court, which he described as the most inconvenient of all the police courts, and in which he said it was not only impossible for an advocate to hear his own voice, owing to the court's vicinity to the street, but to hear the observations which might fall from the Bunch. This circumstance not only placed profes sional men at a disadvantage, but also suitors of all classes. SOUTHWARK.—Mr. William North, the pro prietor of the Surrey coffee-house, appeared before Mr. Burcham, in answer to his bail charged with committing a s er i es o f assau lt s on Eliza North, his wife. The charg e wes , i n th e first instance, entered into on Tuesday afternoon, when Mr. Burcham adjourned it, as the defendant was under the influ ence of drink, and both parties were much excited. The complain an t, a m iddl e - a ged female, said th a t on Tuesday morni ng , between 9 and 10 oVock, her husband was a great deal under the influence of iiq went up to him, a n d t o ld hi m not to bother hims e lf and attempting to count the money. She about unr, then, but put it in his pocket, go to bed, and count it when he was sober. He turned round uron her, and called her dreadful names. She went into the coffee-room, when he came up to her, and demanded the keys, and tore her dress off her back. She gave him the keys as soon as she could get them, when he beat her and knocii.ed her about shamefully. She then went upstairs to her bedroom, when he followed her, and illused her again, and tore her clothes a second time. She then came to this court, and obtained a warrant for his appre hension. In cross-examination she said she never abused her husband at all, neither did she provoke him. She did not lay hold of his hair, and say b e went other women. In fact, she was an angel in temper• (Laughter.) The defendant here denied the accusation alto gether. His wife, far from being an angel, was one of the worst-tempered and most jealous of women, and was always abusing him, which he could prove by their servant. Caroline Whitehouse said she was servant at the Surrey coffee-house. She recollected on Tuesday morning her master had a little drink, and her mis tress kept nagging at him abont being drunk and his women. Witness c:Illed her on one side, and advised her to leave him alone until he was sober. She, however, persisted in aggravating him, when he put the money in his pocßet and went upstairs out of her way. She persisted in following him, and witness heard her abusing him upstairs. She came down again and told witnes3 her master was putting on his best clothes to go to the Exhibition with his women, and she was determined to fol low him. Her master went out of the house, and she followed him at 11 o'clock, and did not return till past three. Her master returned at one, and attended to business. He was always kind to his wife, and carried her breakfast lip to bad, but she was .the most aggravating woman she ever knew: Her clothes were never torn at all, and her master never struck her. The complainant here came forward and said all that the witness had stated was false. It was a con spiracy against her to get her out of her own house, which she had purchased with her own money, as when she married him he was only a poor policeman. Mr. Burnham told her that he had listened very patiently to the evidence, and he should be vary sorry to convict a man on the unsupported testimony of a woman who had the demon of jealousy about her. The servant had given her evidence in a very respectable manner, and he felt bound to say he be lieved her, there ore he should discharge the war rant. It was a great pity women should be pos sessed of such animosity as to impose upon a magis trate to issue his warrant, which he would not have done had he known the exaggerations which had come out in evidence. The defendant then loft the court with his friends. A FEMALE CANNIBAL.—Mary Sullivan, a dissi pated-looking woman, was charged with nearly biting the nose off the face of Catherine Hughes. The prosecutrix said she lived in Webb-street, Bermondsey, and the prisoner lodged near her, and was fighting all day Thursday with the neighbours. About three o'clock in the afternoon witness was going out, when the prisoner called her bad names, and because sbe remonstrated with her, she turned round upon her and struck her. They had a strug gle together, and fell, and while on the ground the prisoner bit her nose nearly off, in fact, it was only kept in its place with strapping as his worship could see. The prisoner here said that the witness struck her first, and then they had a fight, and fell down ; but she had no knowledge :of prosecutrix's nose coming into her mouth or she would not have bit it. Police-constable 128 M, said he was on duty in Bermondsey.street, when he received information of a disturbance in Webb -street. On proceeding there he saw the prisoner fighting, and the prosecutrix with her nose nearly off, bleeding profusely. He secured the prisoner, and conveyed the complainant to a doctor's close by, where her nose was strapped The magistrate told the prisoner that she had shown herself to be a perfect cannibal by biting another female's nose in such a brutal manner. He should take care that her temper was under control for some time by directing her to find two good sureties for two months, and in default be committed her to prison for that period. THAW:S.—HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIO LENCE.—Henry Harris, aged 24, a well-known thief, describing himself as a hawker, with no fixed abode, was charged with highway robbery, attended with garotting. The prosecutor, Mr. Edward Baruch, an elderly gentleman, •is a clerk in the London Docks, resid ing at 92, Pennington-street, Rateliff-highway, and was on his way home soon after 10 o'clock on the night of the 31st of last month, when he was sud denly attacked by the prisoner and another man, who rushed from a dark and narrow alley, called Pennington-place. One of them struck him a se vere blow on the head, and the prisoner seized him by the neck, compressed it forcibly and put him to considerable pain and inconvenience. He struggled hard to release himself, and while ho was doing so the other villain made a snatch at his watch, and in forcing it from his waistcoat pocket used so much force that he tore the waistcoat to pieces. The thief, having secured the watch, ran away with it, and the prisoner having released Mr. Baruch also fled. As soon as the prosecutor could recover his breath he pursued the prisoners, and called out " Stop thief." A police constable named John Chatley, 212 H, was in Ratcliff-highway when he heard the cry of stop thief, and saw two men coming up Breenrs-hill, and Mr. Baruch pursuing them with his watchguard dangling loosely before him. He said "Policeman, I have lost my watch, there are the two men who robbed me." The constable joined in the pursuit, and came up with the prisoner in Wellelose-square, 600 yards from where he first saw him, and was so close to him that he was about to seize him as hen by some misfortune he fell and hurt himself. The pursuit was then taken up by George Foster, 207 H, who was close upon the thieves, when the pri soner rushed into a barber's shop, and his compa nion dashed into a passage of the same house and made his escape over some yards and outhouses in the rear. Thomas Fitzgerald, 189 11, opened the door of the barber's shop, and found the prisoner seated on a chair, a cloth tucked under his chin and a barber abbut to shave him. The policeman allowed the operation to be completed, and then took the prisoner into custody. in answer to questions put by the prisoner, Foster, 207 11, said he was only 12 yards behind the prisoner w len he dashed into the barber's shop, and he was sure he was the man who was running along with the other man. The Prisoner—l had a lather on me, and the bar ber was about to shave me when you and the other policeman entered the shop. You must have been more than 12 yards behind me. Foster—No, I was not. You were soon operated upon. The Prisoner—l saw other people run and I ran. I went into the barber's shop, and paid a penny for a shave. As to that man and his watch, I never saw either until I was taken into custody. Robert Livingston said--I keep a barber's shop, at 51, Cable-street, St. George's-in-the-Eaat. The prisoner came into my shop i n a h urr i ed manner, as if he had been running. A man I had shaved was just rising from the chair, and the prisoner took the vacantseat directly, and I had just began to shave him when the police entered and took him into custody. Mr. Selfe—l shall commit the prisoner for trial at the Old Bailey Sessions for highway robbery, attended with violence. It is a very bad case indeed. CARRYING COALS TO NEWCASTLE.—John Ware ham, aged 48, of 9 , King's-terrace, Homerton, la bourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a bottle of sherry. Edward Ellis, a London Docks constable, stated that he saw the prisoner coming out of the dock with a leath er a p ron on h i s on Thursday evening' , arm, and evidently attempting to elude ob servation. He stopped him, and found in his trousers pocket a bottle of sherry, wine, holding rather more than a pint and a halt. The prisoner was employed in the wine department of the dock as a corker, and was corking the whole of Thurs day. The prisoner said, in his defence, the wine was his own, and that he carried it into the dock in the morning, end took it out again in the evening, Mr. Selfe_Carry wine into the London Dock ? The Prisoner—Yes, sir, indeed I did. Mr. Selfe—Something like carrying coals to Newcastle. Th e Prisoner—So it is, sir; but I have often done so. Mr. Selfe—Then, I don't believe you; but this is very probable, that you have often carried the Dock Company , 8 wine from their premis es . Ellis—We have discovered the very cask from which the bottle of wine was taken; and here is a sample from the same cask. It is a very peculiar smelling sherry. Mr. Selfe—So it is. Your defence is quite ab surd, Wareham, and can impose on none but fools. You have made your case worse by that defence. You have stolen the wine, the property of your employers. I sentence you to three weeks' impri sonment an d hard labour for the unlawful posses sion of the wine. ----.._. WESTMINSTER. AND UMBRELLAS AT TH E EXHIBITION , —henry Balk, Commis sionaire, 280, appeared to a summons charging him with assaulting Mr. Lesser Friedlander, mer chant, at the E:diibition. Mr. F. H. Lev.i -s, bArrister, conduct( d the com plaint, and Mr. Fladgate, solicitor to the Commis sioners, attended for the defendant. Mr. Lewis, in opening his case, as afterwards stated in evidence„said that his client had felt it his duty to being the complaint forward upon pub lic groundF, to protect others from the indignity which had been committed upon him. He had taken the proper course at the moment of com plaining to the assistant-secretary, but had received no redrcs, and had therefore brought the matter before this Court. Mr. Friedlander said—On the Ist of August be tvveen three and four o'clock, I entered the Foreign Picture Gallery at the Exhibition with my little son. I saw the defendant when I had advanced five or six yards into the gallery. He placed himself be fore me, and said, " You must not walk through here with a stick." I had my walking-stick in my hand at the time. I replied, " "Why not ? I do not see any harm in walking with my stick through here." He repeated what he had before said, add ing, " You must go out, or I must turn you out." I again said that I could not see I was doing any harm in walking through there with the stick in my' band, when he collared me. I said, "Tc.ke off - your hands; how dare you collar me ? You may do it to the pickpocket, but not to me." He then took hold of me with both ha n d s , an d by mlin force put me out of the picture gallery. I said that that was very shameful behaviour, when he replied that he had only done his duty. I said, " You have exceeded your duty;" npoti which he obs erve d, " Y ou are no g entleman, and if I had you outside I would give you a good thrashing." I was in the presence of several ladies and gentlemen vAien this indignity was committed upon me. I have been in the Eng lish Picture Gallery with my stick, and my wife with her parasol, two or three times., without ob jection. Cross-examined—l am not aware of any regula tion respecting season ticket holders leaving their umbrellas and stick. I did not know what had been prohibited. I have been eight or nine times in the Exhibition with my stick. I invariably walk with it. I rely upon my stick for support. Defendant did not point out a paper of regulations to me when he stopped me. I did not push on. I stopped entirely. If he had allowed me time I should have given up my stick or walked out, but he collared me imme diately. I did not say to defendant " I defy you or any Commissioner to turn me out." I did not shake my stick at him. lam quite certain of that. By Mr. Arnold—Defimdant said, "You must not waik with your stick through here." He did not ask me to give it up. Albert Friedlander, a little bay eight years of age, son of complainant, was called to confirm his statement. In cross-examination he said his father was very angry when put out of the gallery, and spoke loud, but did not shake his stick at the de fendant. George Cant, police-constable 166 X, said—l was in the picture gallery, and saw thecomplainant about four or five yards in the gallery, I was on duty t here. I have orders not to interfere about sticks and umbrellas. Defendant and others are placed there not to allow sticks, umbrellas, or parasols. I saw the defendant go up to the complainant. Com plainant gave the same account immediately after wards to the assistant-secretary as he has given here to-day ; but it is not correct in all particulars. I saw defendant take hold of him and put him out side the gallery, 13'4ore that he several times told him that it was the Commissioners' order there should be no sticks or umbrellas there, and pointed tc a board with a notice on it to that effect. He put his hand on each arm, and forced him out. The board says, " Sticks, umbrellas, and parasols are not admitted into the picture-gallery." Cross-examined—l heard him repeatedly tell the complainant that sticks were not permitted there, and that that was the Commissioners' order. Com plainant got very excited, and, taking up his stick, shook it at defendant. Then defendant said he had served his country honourably twenty•five years, and would not mind giving him a thrashing. Com plainant caused a great crowd to assemble. Defen dant said if he had behaved so to him outside he would not have minded giving him a thrashing. I do not think defendant said, " You are no gentle man." By Mr. Lewis—Complainant was much excited, and shook his stick in his face outside the gallery, saying, " How dare you do it ?" By Mr. Arnold—Defendant, besides pointing to the board, told him four or five times: that he must not be there with a stick. Mr. Fladgate said it would be a question of law rather than of fact upon which the case would turn, for, if the defendant was authorised in put ting the complainant out, it would be quite clear there was no more violence used to put complainant out of the gallery than was necessary. Mr. Flad gate then quoted the case of " Wood v. Led bitter," where the former wes expelled from the Doncaster Grand Stand, and was about to raise other arguments to show that the Commis sioners had a right, and were under an obligation to the public, to exclude umbrellas, sticks, Bcc., from the picture gallery, when Mr. Arnold observed that there was no question about it; the Commissioners had a right to do so. He could not entertain a doubt that the Commis sioners had full power to lay down such regulations as they considered necessary for the protection of the valuable property in their charge. The ques tion for him to decide would be one of fact, whether the defendant used excess of violence, and had con ducted himself in a rude and overbearing manner. Mr. Lewis urged that defendant might have had a right to prevent his entering the gallery with a stick, but had no right to remove him when there. He might have taken the stick from him perhaps. Mr. Arnold differed in opinion_ He clearly con sidered if defendant had a right to prevent his ad mission he had a right to remove him when there. Mr. Fladgate observed that it was quite clear complainant had lost his temper, and when he shook his stick in defendant's face it could hardly be won dered at that an old English soldier should say that if he were outside, not in the building where he was employed, he should like to give him a thrashing. Thomas Froggett, another commissionaire em ployed in the gallery, was called for the defence, and proved that complainant defied defendant or the Commissioners to put him out, as he had a sea son ticket. Witness otherwise supported the de fence. Mr. Fladgate was about to call another witness, when _ The Magistrate said there was no necessity, as he had quite made up his mind. He thought the com plainant had been very ill advised to bring the matter forward, as the exercise of a little cool re flection should have convinced him that he was in the wrong. He must repeat that he had no doubt the Commissioners had a right to lay down rules for the protection of the valuable property in their charge. and it was a well-known and well-understood thing that the pubic were prohibited taking sticks or umbrellas into all picture galleries. All who went to the Royal Academy, and other such exhibitions, must be well aware of the rule, and he should have thought common sense would have suggested that it was the same at the picture gallery of the Exhi bition as elsewhere; but to peevent all dispute or doubt, the Commissioners had adopted the prudent course of having the prohibition pasted np. Persons were employed there to prevent others entering with sticks or umbrellas, but it might easily happen that they got in with them. The complainant did so; he had only just got in when the defendant ac costed him in the exercise of his duty there. There was no doubt that complainant thought it an im proper and officious interference with him, and re sisted it. It was very likely he was not aware of the rules, and was very much annoyed, but if de fendant had not stopped him he would not have discharged his duty. Complainant used strong language, and they both got into an altercation, and complainant was so much out of temper that he shook his fist in defendant's face. He (Mr. Arnold) had no doubt that the complainant had spoken the truth to the very best of his belief, but his temper had got the better of his memory, and he had for gotten part of what had occurred. It would be better that a sharp look-out should be kept, and that persons should not be admitted within the gallery with the prohibited articles. In this case there was no extreme or unnecessry violence used ; if complainant had no right to be there, he had a right, when found there, to be put out, and he (Mr. Arnold) could only repeat that it was much to be regretted the case had been brought there at all. Defendant was then discharged. WANDS WORTH. —Mr. Timothy Black, the landlord of the Stag public-house, Wandsworth road, was summoned before Mr. Dcvman for open ing his house for the sale of sPirits,.&c., before one o'clock on Sunday morning last. Mr. Child appeared for the defendant, and pleaded not guilty. Inspector Bushnell, of the V division, stated that on Saturday night last he was on duty in the Wandsworth-road. About half-past twelve o'clock he was in the act of removing several men from the front of the Stag public-house, when the defendant opened his door and let out three men. Witness said it was time that his house was closed, to which the defendant replied that they were his waiters. Witness then said it was convenient to term them waiters when he was half an hour late. The de fendant became very excited, and called them into his house and told them to do some more work and have some more beer. They went in front of the bar and turned up their sleeves. The defend ant stood with his back to the door for a quarter of an hour, and he let out the three men when he thought proper. In cross-examination the inspector denied that he had any feeling in the matter. He was not ex eitetk at the time. When he remarked that it was convenient to term the men waiters, he meant that he did not believe they were waiters. Mr. Child—You suggest to a man who has kept an his Louse for ten years that he is tellingun truth ? Inspector Bushnell—l did no t insinuate to M r• .have since ascertained that there was a meeting of Foresters Black that he was telling an untruth. I in the house on Saturday night. Mr. Child—lt was the quarterly meeting, at which preparations were made for the festival at the Crystal Palace. Inspector Bushnell —I did not suspect th ere were any more persons in the hou s e. I was quite satis fied the house was closed and cleared, excepting theme n. Mr. Ch i ld, in answer t o t h e summons, said that when three thdefendant t o ld the inspector the men w ere his writers it was the truth. One was con stantly employed, and the other two on special occasions. The house was cleared before 12 o'clock, and after the waiters had remov e d the glasse s and pots they they were going away, when the inspector made the statement he had given in evidence. The defendant was not excited, and he told the in spector that the men were his servants. The in spector then made the remark that it was very convenient to call them waiters ; and even in the court the officer did not see such an observation was calculated to excite the defendant. There was no doubt the defendant did call them back again, and they cleared out the taproom, for which they were paid. The defendant was one of the most respect able licensed victuallers in the district ; he had con ducted the house for ten years, and he had never been called up for using it improperly. Under the circumstances, the defendant bad a right to com plain of being brought to the court. Mr. Dayman said that if the inspector was satis fied the men were waiters he would dismiss the summons. Th ,- inspector preferred having the men called, and they all t-tatecl that they were employed and paid by the defendant. Thessmmons was then dismissed. HA M MERSMITH.—CONCEALMENT OF BIRTIT. —Ann Gain, cook in the servi o of a lady na med Robinson, residing at No. 4, Sunderland-terrace, Westbourns Park, was finally examined before Mr. Dayman on a charge of concealing the birth of her female child. It appeared that on Friday, the 25th ult., the body of the child was discovered in the prisoner's box by her fellow -servant, the housemaid; and at night the prisoner, who had been ill from the Sun day before, expressed her regret at not having com municated to her before what had happened, In spector Edmonds was called in on the following day, and it appeared that no suspicions were enter tained of the prisoner's condition. When her boxes were searched no baby-linen could be found. Mr. Wm M'Kenzie, physician, of Chester-place, Hyde Park-gardens, proved making a post ,nor• tens examination of the body. He stated that he found evidence of the presumption that the child had breathed, but he was unable to find anything to show the cause of death. Inspector Edmonds informed leis worship that en inquest had been held, and the verdict was to the effect that the child died from want of medical at tention at the time of the birth. The prisoner did not offer any defence, and Mr. Dayman committed her for trial for the mis demeanour. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION. The quarterly court of the governors of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest was held yesterday in the board-room of the hospital, at Brompton—General Ashburnham in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, The SECRETARY read the report of the committee of management, which showed that since the last court of governors only the usual full complement of beds, nearly 200, had remained occupied, it having been found necessary at the commencement of the warm weather to empty the extra beds. The number of applicants have con• tinued to increase year by year. The numbers waiting their turn for admission at the end of July, in the years 1860, 1861, 1862, were respectively 63, 166, and 188. The attendances in the out-patients' department remained undi minished. The committee have determined to give up the premises known as the Manor House, at Midsummer, 1863, acknowledging, in so doing, that under the judicious management of Miss Marshant and the ladies' committee, the Manor House in their hands as a " Home has afforded a welcome shelter to many consumptive patients before and after their admission to this institu tion. The committee also report the gift of £899 14s. 7d. from Mr. and Madame Goldschmidt, the proceeds of a concert given on the 28th of May. This gift the committee regarded as the most opportune, as the donations for many months had fallen off so as to give rise to fears lest the accounts should exhibit a serious defi ciency at the end of the year. The committee acknowledge the receipt of increased help from the clergy, and express their gratitude to the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of Car lisle, the Bishop of Worcester, and others, for their aid to the institution. The following legacies have been announced to the committee since the last court :—Miss Eliza Zenoblef £5O; Adolphus Thorogood, £lO (formerly an in•patient); Robert Lowman, Esq., £lO 10s; Charles Morrell, Esq. , £l,OOO (contingent and very remote) ; Captain Buchanan , £5O ; Miss Ann Brown £lOO (duty free) ; Mr. Thoraso Miller, one-third of residue (contingent). The number of in-patients admitted since 29th of May, is 1 66 Discharged more or less benefited 1 42 Died 2l New out-patients , The report was adopted; and on the motion of the Bon- Josceline Percy, seconded by Charles Few, Esq., it was agreed " Tbat the cordial and grateful thanks of this court be given to Mr. 0. and Madame Lind-Goldschmidt for the signal benefits recently conferred on the hospital by them, and that Otto Goldschmidt, Esq., be elected an honorary life governor, with the same privileges as are possessed by Madame Goldschmidt, viz., the right to recommend three in-patients and twenty-three out-patients annually." A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. UNI RI M 4 RILE:iS. WAKEFIELD-Atm. 8, The wheat trade is firm. Fresh parcels of red were ill demand, and rather dearer; other sorts unaltered.
