LORD MAYOR'S DAY. THE BANQUET. The customary civic banquet was given at Guild hall last night, and derived more than usual im portance from the fact of the Prince of Wales coming of age. Among the Ministers present were the Prime Minister, Earl Granville, Earl Russell, the Duke of Somerset, Mr. Cardwell, M.P., &c. ; Lord Brougham, the Judges, the Attorney-General, several Ambassadors, &c. The hall was magnifi cently decorated, and more than 1,100 guests were present. After the loving cup had passed round, The LORD MAYOR said—The first toast I have the honour to propcse is " The Queen," and it must be confessed we enjoy a great blessing in having in this nation a Queen who has been a model to all other monarchs. (Cheers.) She has been alike a model wife, a model mother, and a model Sove reign, and I am quite sure that in the recent dis peusation of Providence she has had the deep sym pathy of all her subjects. (Hear, hear.) May she continua to rest satisfied that she is surrounded by a free, enlightened, and loyal people. (Cheers.) " God save the Queen," the principal part being sung by Mdme. Parepa. The LORD MAYOR, in giving the " Health of the Prince of Wales," said—There is such a speciality in this toast that I am sure I shall have the sympa thy of this distinguished company when I express a wish that the Prince, who yesterday came of age, and has taken on himself the responsibilities of a position which ,is second to none in the world— (cheers)—when I say that the hopes and expecta tions of the country are centered in the Prince who yesterday attained his majority, I feel that this is an occasion on which the loyalty of the country should be so expressed, that the Queen may feel that she has one by her side who will act as an adviser, while the nation will look upon him as a Prince upon whom the greatest reliance is to be placed. (Cheers.) The Prince of Wales bas well studied the im portant part which be will have to play ; he has had opportunities which few enjoy, and especially of home associations, which cannot but have a vast influence upon his future life. At the same time he has had the advantages of travel, for one can safely say that he has seen more of the world than any other of her Majesty's subjects. I am sure that, with all the advantages he has the coun try will feel that he is worthy of the high destiny that it has pleased Providence to assign to him, and the alliance he has just made, with ail its in teresting associations, is highly appreciated by all her Majesty's subjects. I give you the " Health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, long may he live and be the support of his widowed mother and Sovereign"—(cheers)—and I hope that, when it shall please Providence to call him to that posl tion which is involved in the possession of the throne of the greatest empire of the world, he may so act as to prove himself a worthy scion of so illus trious and honoured a Queen. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," observing that there never was a time when their services were more appre ciated than at the present moment. He had the honour of having as guests both the Commander in-Chief and the first Lord of the Admiralty. The Duke of Cambridge was par excellence the soldier's friend. (Cheers.) On all occasions he had shown himself most anxious for the efficiency of the ser vice. The same might be said of the Duke of Somerset, who had shown himself foremost in for warding the great improvements in the navy in its process of re-construction. As to the volunteers, that force was equally appreciated by the army and the nation at large, and he believed the formation of that great national force had had the effect of plscing this country in a position of safety which it had never before enjoyed. (Cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in responding on be half of the army, said—My Lord Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,—l rise to respond to the toast which has just been given from the chair in so handsome a manner, as regards my branch of the service. I can only say, on behalf of that service, what I have often said before in this great city of London, that we are always flattered by the kind feelings and sen timents expressed by the citizens of London to wards us. It is an agreeable compliment to us that, while toiling for the good of the country in every part of the globe, this toast is accepted with those feelings and affections towards home which never leave the army in whatever part of the world it may be placed. There is an innate feeling in Englishmen which makes them feel that home is the best place to be in. Although the army of this country is necessarily more separated from their friends than the armies of other countries, they always look back upon home as the place from whence everything that is good, everything that is agreeable, and everything that is advanta • geous to them spring. The army expe riences this feeling quite as much as civilians, They therefore appreciate, wherever they may be, the kindly feelings and remembrances of their friends. The Lord Mayor has been so good as to allude to the fact that the army, as it now is, is in a state of efficiency. I hope and believe that that compliment is well deserved. (Cheers.) So far as I am concerned, I can only say that I have done my utmost to make it efficient, and to extend that efficiency which has distinguished it ever since it has been an army. I can say, for myself, that I should have been utterly powerless had it not been for the support—the enlightened and liberal sup port—which I have received on every occasion, from the illustrious statesman who sits near me. (Loud cheers.) Not only has the present Government but former Governments. have given the army that liberal and enlightened support which has enabled me to maintain it in that state of efficiency in which, I flatter myself, I may row consider it to be. But not only iscredit due to the statesmen of this country in this respect, but credit is also due to the people of England, for if it were not for their libe ral views with regard to the maintenancy of the army in a state of efficiency it would be impossible for us to do as much as we have done. But the people of England, with their usual good strong common sense, have fully appreciated the value and import ance of the services rendered by the army. They have never grudged us these liberal supplies which I say, with some degree of regret, we feel to be ne cessary for she maintenance of the honour of this country. Of course we all know it is not an agree able thing to expend money largely upon the mili tary service, but the people of Eogland are sagacic us enough to have seen how essential it is for their own interests that money should be liberally spent for this purpose, and they never grudged their support 'when they were called upon for it. We are not in a position to ma i n t a in a l a r ge a rm y, b u t we ma i n t a i n a th l e a large army 'which, supplemented as it now is by loyallitr!pirit and feeling of the country, and by the to a he and Volunteers, is sufficient to enable us maintain e a nd amighte L na interests and power of this great ot be a nation. (Cheers.) I know it will Peeabl e to your lowlship that I should pay you any compliment, but I cannot disguise from this great compan ytha f act t h at among the distin guished regime nts la the Volunteer corps none can toast a higher p osition than corps of the Citythe Rifle Volunteer London, and in th a t corps , m y Lord Mayor, you, my Lord Mayor,have from the first taken a prominent int crest not only given us your best support You have P b ort and cordial assistance, but you have actuallu: to 7hieth plea one of the body. (Cheere.) T hat is e rrh . a yourself special I which lam sure this country learn n ar c u ireum stance My Lord Mayor, you alluded sure. circumstance of the day on which this b anglet ta k es place. We are here met no doubt to d o honour to the Lord Mayor, and his election to au i mpor t a nt post, which I have no doubt he will worthily fill. His lordship has told you that thi s i s the 21st aliniversery of the birth of his Royal High ness the Prince o f wr a lea. This day therefore is a day not only of immense interest, but of vast impor tance to this great count r y . ( Ch eers .) How much —not depends on the character an d position of that youth ful and illustrious Prince ! I can only say simply because he is the Prince of Wales and a re lative of mine—that I firmly believe that the educa tion and general disposition of that young P rince justify us in hoping that he will be an ornam ent to this great empire, and that during his career he will be, as head of this nation, an object of pride to the TUE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVNNING, NOVENIIIER 11, 1882 country. (Loud cheers.) There is one circum stance, however, connected with thi, day that cannot be overlooked in connexion with the Prince of Wales, namely, that he is not F , t present in this country. Why is he not here ? The rea son that he is absent on this di:.y is, the sad and painful bereavement which the nation and the Sovereign sustained in the course of this year. But for that sad event he would have been here. Pro vidence willed it otherwise, and though rejoicing with the Sovereign on this happy day, we deplore that her feeling and joy cannot be shared by one who shared in every feeling of her joy and happiness. (Hear, hear.) My Lord Mayor, I beg to return thanks on behalf of the army for the manner in which their health has been drunk, (Cheers.) The Duke of SOMERSET returned thanks on be half of the navy ; and Col. M‘Mußpo on behalf of the volunteers. The LORD MAYOR next proposed "The health of her Majesty's Ministers," which was received with loud cheers, Viscount PALMERSTON, who was received with loud cheers, said—My Lord Mayor, and Ladies and G entlemen ,—For myself and for my colleagues I beg to return you our most sincere thanks for the hon our you have done us —you, my Lord Mayor, in pro posing, and you, ladies and gentlemen, in so kindly accepting the toast which you have drunk. I can assure you that there is nothing that can be made a greater reward to those who are engaged in the public service than to receive the goodwill and ap proval of their fellow-countrymen for the perform ance of their duty ; and when I say the performance of their duty I say all that can be said of any public man, for there can be no higher praise than the per formance of duty; and no public man can do more than perform the duty which is incumbent upon him, and although there are those men who are able to fulfil the task, they must be presumptuous indeed who think they have the power to do more. (Hear, hear.) It is particularly gratifying and flattering to men who are engaged in the public service to be honoured by invitations to these annual commemo rations ; for, in the first place, I may say, without fear of exaggeration, that there is hardly any Sove reign in Europe who can give a more splendid ban quet, when you consider the company assembled and the hall in which we have met, than those who have the honour of being invited to assist at it. But these meetings are also typical of the British na tion, for we hear men of all classes, men of all po litical opinions, men engaged in very different pursuits, and we meet here in common fellow ship, each forgetting any differences which might exist between himself and others, and only animated by a common feeling of brotherhood and of pride in the nation to which we belong. (Loud cheers.) There is one circumstance not devoid of interest con nected with these anniversaries, which circumstance is more peculiarly called to mind by what fell from my Lord Mayor this evening, for it is a remarkable, and I trust an auspicious omen, that the day on which the municipal corporations of this vast coun try are called upon to elect what my Lord Mayor will, perhaps, allow me to call their Sovereigns for the year, is also the day on which the country has been blessed by the birth of a Prince who one day —and God grant it may be long distant—(hear) — will be Sovereign of this country, and who, by the qualities with which the Providence of God has en dowed him is, I trust destined to be a source of hap piness to the nation over which he may be called upon to rule. (Loud cheers.) My Lord Mayor has adverted to a topic which must excite the deepest feelings of sorrow on the part of every man and woman in this country—l mean that distress which unfortunately prevails in a part of our manufactur ing districts. (Hear, hear.) We may trust, and it is to ba hoped the cause of that distress may not be long continued—(hear)—although it must be owned that there is not at present any immediate prospect that more humane feelings and more kindly senti ments are likely to prevail between the contending parties upon the American continent ; but we may trust that India will to a certain degree supply the raw material which is essential to the industry of our manufacturing population ; and if this product which India may send us shall be sedulously used in this country, and if we are not tempted by the wants of other nations to send that cotton away as fast as it arrives, I trust that India may find the means of supplying in some degree the wants which have been created by the civil war in America. (Hear, hear.) In other respects it is satisfactory to know that the country is in a good and sound condition. (Cheers.) We have been told by his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief, and by my noble friend the Duke of So merset, and by that distinguished officer, Colonel M'Murdo, that our army and navy and volun teers are in a state of great efficiency ; and although that army and that navy are compara tively small, in point of nnmbers, yet their discip line and efficiency, and brave spirits, and the pa triotic feeling by which they are animated, makes that small number equal to a large one in which these eminent qualities may not be equally found. (Cheers.) Our harvest has not been bad; and although the farmers are unwilling to confess that it has been good, yet at least it is a consolation that we do not hear from them that their harvest has been bad. (Cheers.) Our trade and commerce have found vent in one direction to make up for the obstacles which have been opposed to them in others, and upon the whole balance of productive industry we have no reason to comp'.ain that we are this year in a worse condition than that in which we have been in years which have gone by. Our finances are also in a sound condition. We are reap ing, in our intercourse with all nations of the earth, that harvest cf prosperous trade which was sown in those doctrines of freedom of trade and unrestricted commerce which have won their way in this coun try by force of reason, after long and continued dis cussion, and which we trust the example of Eng land is diffusing over other countries which have hitherto been deaf to the voice of reason ; and that we shall find that our prosperity serves as an ex ample to the other nations of the earth, that we are really not only benefitting ourselves, but spread ing over the rest of mankind some of the advantages and some of the blessings which our own wise po licy has secured for ourselves. (Loud chee rs .) M y Lord Mayor, and ladies and gentlemen, I beg again O return you, for myself and colle agues, our most sincere tha nks for the honour whi c h you h ave done teeretha us in drinking our healths, and more especially for ' the gratification which you have afforded us in e. per mittin u s to assist at the banquet which you h ave given us this day. (Cheers.) I cannot, l ad i es and gentlemen, sit down without askin g your permis sion to propose to y ou a toast in retu rn , an d I am sure when I ask you to drink the "Health of th e Lord Mayor," that that toast w ill be received b y you with all those honours which ar e due not only t o th e office which ho represents, but to the highly gifted is man by whom that office held. (Loud cheers.) It is one of the great advantages arisin g from that municipal reform which constitutes one of the greatest improvements of later times th at the citizens conferred upon of every great town have annually them the power and opportunity of raisi n g to a dis tinguished post in the community one of the most valued of their distinguished citizens. Yon this year have exercised that privilege by electing your present Lord Mayor, and I am confident that in the discharge of the arduous duties of his office he will prove at the end of his mayoralty that he was most deserving of your approval, as that distin guished individual who two years in succession was elected to fill that office has been proved to have earned and deserved your appreciation (Loud cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I beg in conclusion '0 propose to you the "Health of the Lord Mayor." ',Loud 'and prolonged cheers.) nammel:lf ita4%GrLanville.

CAEDIULL, in responding to the toast, said—My Lord Mayor, Ladie s , an d Gentlemen, in obedience to your order, on behalf of the House of Commons I rise to return thanks for the toast which has just been proposed. While on the one hand we do not yield to the House of Lords itself in cordial loyalty to the Throne and affectionate devotion to the Sovereign, you, my Lord. Mayor, have truly glanced at the sympathy with which the popular assembly of this realm has always been associated with the corporations of this country, of which corporations this great Corpora tion is the chief. (Cheers.) Whatever tends to promote industry and commerce, and to advance the cause of legislation favourable to the interests of the country, naturally finds its birth in that as sembly, which consists of members chosen by them selves. (Cheers.) Every member feels that he en joys an honour which can only be conferred upon him by the free voice of the people. We believe that, strengthened by your support, and animated by your confidence, in every juncture of difficulty we shall be enabled to speak the sentiments of the people, to sustain the honour of our country, pre serve the stability of our institutions, and promote the true interests of the people. (Cheers.) On the part of the members of the House of Commons, I beg sincerely to thank you for the toast which you have so cordially drunk. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of Lord Brougham, in a complimentary speech. Lord BROUGHAM, in responding, said,—l am deeply grateful to his lordship for the kind manner in which he has proposed my health, and to you, ladies and gentlemen, for the kind acceptance of the toast. It, is, to well-regulated minds, a pleasing thing to look back upon acts of kindness received; and I have, for the long period of more than 40 years, had the distinguished honour of being a member of this Corporation. lam so much older than others in this Corporation, that, when his lordship proposed at first to drink to the prosperity of the trade and commerce of the city of London, I had some doubt whether it was not my duty to return thanks. (Laughter.) But if it was a pleasing thing to receive this great honour, the ground upon which it was conferred was still more gratifying. It was from the approval of my fel low-citizens of this great city of my conduct, po litically and professionally, in supporting the privi leges and the honour of that renowned profession of which I deem it the great happiness of my life to be a member—for having maintained those privi leges and that honour against the whole weight of the Government of the country, and the Crown as represented by the King. But, independently of the cause, the honour itself is very great. This city has long been renowned as the cradle of British liberty, and of late it has become the tomb of her discords and the fountain of her charity. My right hon. friend, the late Lord Mayor, and his worthy asso ciates, including the present Lord Mayor, have ex tended their benevolence to all parts, even the most remote of the country, not considering distance to signify anything, providing the necessity was great. When we commend the givers of that benevolence, let us not forget the admirable conduct of those who received it, I look upon the working classes of Lan cashire and Cheshire and the West Riding of York shire—particularly the cotton districts in Lanca shire—as entitled to all possible commendation, to praise, and even to veneration, for the manner in which they bore their sufferings. When I contrast their conduct this last year with what I well re member in times 40 or 60 years ago, when there was much less pressure, but when the people broke out into disturbances in those distressed districts, giv ing themselves up to strikes for wages, attempting the destruction of cotton mills, supposing the owners to be answerable for their distress, who were no more answerable than they were for the wind and weather—when I contrast that with the perfectly different conduct of the working classes upon the present occasion, I cannot withhold my wonder and admiration. (Cheers.) lam bound also to say, when I am asked to what that difference is owing, that I ascribe it to the progress they have made during the last 40 years in education, and in the acquisition of knbwledge to enlighten their minds upon their situation and open the trials to which they are sub jected. I have heard it said that their education ought to have taught them to lay by for a bad, day. But ought education to have taught them what their masters and their betters and the well educated classes knew nothing about—namely, to foresee the cotton famine ? They could no more foresee the famine from which they were suffering than their masters and betters, who did not foresee it nor pro vide for it. But as for ordinary wants, they provided for them by savings banks, by insurances, by be coming members of co-operative societies, and by economising their small means. They did make pro vision for the ordinary calls upon them. But so unex_ pected a crisis as that of the affairs on the other side of the Atlantic they would in no way be ex pected to foresee or to know. That cruel and un natural civil war is one of the most lamentable events of our time. England and France have looked on with feelings of kindness and friendship upon both the contending parties, for which reason they have perhaps not been much liked by either. (Laughter.) Besides the ordinary evils of war— besides the waste of blood and treasure, and suffer ing of every kind—besides the miseries and anxie ties in which it involved the whole country, which would make us desire its speedy cessation—there is another fear, another risk which they run more and more every month if this contest continues, I mean the increased number of armed men who become habituated to blood, rapine, and pillage. It has been said that there is nothing worse than the tyranny of a mob. Yes there is something worse, and it is the tyranny of an armed mob. (Cheers.) With arms in their hands, inured to war, incapable of peaceful occupation, habituated to pillage and bloodshed, that habit will become their second and savage nature. They will be the worst foes under which one could live. (Applause.) For the sake of Heaven, for their own happiness, for the sake of humanity, let us hope they may avoid that situation of things, which is at once so deplorable and so degrading. (Cheers.) His lordship ctncladed by proposing " The Health of the Lady Mayoress." The LORD MAYOR returned thanks on behalf of the Lady Mayoress, and proposed " The Health of the Sheriffs." Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE returned thanks. Some other toasts having been drunk, the com pany separated. ALLEGED WIFE MURDER NEAR DUDLEY. On Saturday last an old man, 69 years of age, named William Ockold, a tailor, was taken into custody by the police at Oldbury, near Dudley, on a charge of murdering his wife Sophia, aged 73. From what the police have been able to ascertain, it appears that at about four o'clock on Saturday morning a carter named Jeremiah Bradley heard voices in altercation in the house occupied by Ockold and his wife. He heard the woman groan ing, and heard her say, " Have mercy upon me— don't kill me." Knowing that they frequently quarrelled, the man took very little notice of the matter, until subsequent circumstances recalled it to his memory. About eight o'clock in the morn ing, a girl named Maria Grazebrook, who lived next door to the Ockolds, went in to i nqu i re after the health of the old woman, who had been unwell the previous day; The old man was sitting on his board at work, and the girl noticed that one of his hands was covered with blood, and that there was a large abrasion of the skin. Upon asking him how this occurred, he said that he had struck the old woman for getting drunk. The girl then called upstairs, and receiving no answer, she was about to proceed to the bedroom. Ockold said, " You shan't go up there," but she ran past him and reached the bedroom, where she found the woman lying d ea d on the floor, her face being covered with blood and her body fearfully bruised. She at once ran to the police-station and to an adjoining surgery, and, upon Sergeant Simmonds arriving, the man was taken into custody as he was in the act of dragging the body from the lieu! to the bed. Upon being charged by the officer he eb.id, ,‘ It's a bad job." He also said that he had injured his hand against his wife's teeth. He seemed to treat the matter very lightly, and showed no emotion of any kind. FIGLITING IN AMERICA-THE FORT UNE OF WAR. The following incident of the war in America is extracted from a private letter, written by a volun teer in the Federal army to his relations in England : Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia, Oct. 23. " Dear --,---Yours of Aug. 18 has just come to hand. I had been expecting it for some time. Why it did not arrive you will soon understand from the contents of this letter. " You will perceive from the heading that some thing has happened to me, but do not be alarmed as it is nothing very serious. I will endeavour to in form you how it occurred. After my letter from Harrison's Landing we were kept continually on the march until Aug. 30th, when we arrived at Manafres, having endured hardships and privations which would only cause you pain were I to relate them. It is sufficient to say we did endure them. " On the morning of the 30th we were ordered into line of battle, though we were almost exhausted. Our regiment, with another, formed on the edge of a wood, while our company, with two or three others, deployed as skirmishers through the wood. We had not long been in this position before the enemy came in sight, advancing in strong force. We, being skirmishers, of course fell back, and joined the remainder of our brigade. We bad scarcely formed into line when the enemy advanced upon us from right, left, and front, doing terrible execution. Our brigade was completely overpowered. The order was given to fall back, which was accom plished very tolerably. " I had thus far remained uninjured, but it was not long before I got struck., We had fallen back about 100 yards, when my rifle came in collision with a tree. I turned round to pick it up, and at thasame moment felt something warm passing through my right hip. I instantly fell to the ground. I struggled hard to rise, and found that my leg was useless—a ball had passed through striking the hip bone. "As soon as our forces fell back the rebels ad vanced, and there I lay, helpless,between the firing of the contending armies. You can better imagine than I can describe how I felt upon this occasion. The balls fell around me as thick as hail. Many of our men got killed after they were wounded by some of the stray shots that fell in showers around us. Every moment I expected to got one myself ; but was more fortunate than many others, and escaped without further injury, though exposed to all kinds of missiles for several hours. After I was wounded, I should tell you, one ball passed through my jacket, and two struck the sole of one of my shoes, but did not enter it, and hurt my foot only a little. "It was towards night when the fighting ceased, and the rebels were in possession of the field ; I was therefore taken prisoner. I lay on the field until the morning of the 3d September (four days), quite helpless, without food, and very little water.' My wound being exposed to the sun, had got full of maggots, half an inch long. On the same day (the 3d) a flag of truce from our army came through the rebel lines, and removed us in heavy waggons a dis tance of 25 miles, over a fearfully rough road, which almost shook the little life we had left out of us. We arrived at our present quarters on the night of the 3d, almost dead, not having eaten anything for five days. _ _ " While lying on the field I experienced the most delightful dreams I aver remember to have had. I was continually dreaming of home, and all the loved ones there ; but woke up to be made aware of my dreadful situation. I can tell you little more at present. I can only say I was treated very well by the rebels—as far as letting me alone went. They could not give me anything to eat, as they had no thing for themselves. They are in a dreadful con dition ; but appesr determined to fight to the last. —I remain, &c., " P.S.—My wound is not a very serious one, and is going on first rate. Ido not think I shall be a cripple. The exposure and want of proper attention kept me bad much longer than I should otherwise have been." g-ILD SMIZ ZZFZELD CLA. I' LEI 13110 W _F QR 1862, The opening of the New Agricultural Hall at Islington, the future home of our great annual me tropolitan Christmas cattle shows, and the six teenth anniversary of the Smithfield Club, is ap pointed to take place this year on Monday, the Bth of December, and four following days. The ar rangements for this purpose are now so rapidly approaching towards completion that even the stalls for the cattle and the pens for the sheep and pigs, &c., are in course of erection, and the space appro priated being something like three times the amount of that obtained at the Baker-street Bazaar, opportunities will be afforded not only for a great in crease in the specimens entered for competition, but also for the accommodation and convenience of the public. The Agricultural Hall occupies an area closely approaching to three acres. It has two entrances, the grand one being in the Liverpool•road, and the minor one facing Islington-green, nearly opposite the newly-erected fountain and statue to Sir Hugh Myddelton. The western facade, which is very bold, is in the mediaeval style of architecture. It has two lofty towers, and capacious central and side entrances. The main hall is 384 feet in length by 217 feet in breadth, and the span of the cen tral portion of the glass roof, which is 76 feet in height, is about 125 feet. This hall is surrounded by galleries 36 feet in width, approached by five sets of double staircases, each 10 feet wide. There is also a minor hall 100 feet square. One thousand tons of iron were used in its construction, and the roofing contains nine miles of iron sash bar, upwards of One acre of glass, and two acres 1 of slating, whilst the space afforded by the galleries is considerably above an acre. There is, therefore, no lack of light during the day, whilst at night the area will be illuminated by 14 large central gaseliers, of 48 lights each, and 60 smaller ones of 24 lights each. The ventilation and drain age are two points to which the greatest attention has been paid, the towers referred to being con structed with a view to secure perfection with re gard to the former point, and as respects the latter the iron pillars which support the central portions of the fabric, form draining tubes from the roof to the basement, and the drainage appliances beneath. A reservoir, capable of containing 50,000 gallons , of water, has been erected, with which hydrants are connected in various parts of the building, so that in case of fire, or any other requirement, they can immediately be made available. C pacious re freshment rooms are provided in various parts of the building, where refreshments are to be supplied at a fixed tariff; and, amongst the other accomo- dationa there will be a letter-bar, lavatories, &c., for ladies as well as gentlemen, with a room for depositing parcels, coats, and other articles. The ar& itect is Mr. F. Peck, of the firm of Peck and Stephens, of Maidstone. So far as the building itself is concerned, it is in every way adapted for the purposes for which it is intended, and the only doubt which had been raised as to its success as a speculation, is the locality in which it is situate. Objections have been raised that the show of the Smithfield Club will not obtain that popularity amongst the upper classes of society which it en joyed (and that increasingly year after year) during its sojourn in Baker-street, on account of it being 1 so far away from the West-end. In reply to that, the promoters point to the late metropolitan dog show, at which, notwithstanding the then un finished state of the building, and all the drawbacks attendant upon it, upwards of 60,000 or 70 , 000 persons visited th e ex hibiti o n, and on the five shil ling days the carriages of the aristocracy are stated to have crowded the • Liverpool-road and blocked up many of the adjacent thoroughfares. Besides the increased accommodation for the public, in other re spects the convenience of the avenues, especially for ladie s , is far greater than at Baker-street, the cen tral avenue being 23 feet wide, and the others in pro portion. With regard to the facilities for the pub lic to reach the show from all parts of London, it is stated that omnibuses going to and from every dis trict of the metropolis, and the site , of the Agi ieal tural Hall make no less than 1,600 journeys daily. It is also understood that arrangements are likely to be made to pat on special omnibuses to and from various parts of London and the hall during the shows. In addition to this, the Agricultural Hall is within a mile of the Great Northern termini's at King's-cross, and a mile and a half from the North- Western Rail way, 9 . nd within a ls. 64. cab-fare from any one of the Metropolitan Railway termini ex cept tint of the Great Western Railway; and by means of a very excellent map, executed under the direction of Mr. S. Sidney, the secretary of the Agricultural Hall Company, and which will be on the back of all the tickets and documents issued with regard to the show, the route is pointed out for reaching the grand entrance in the Liverpool road, thus avoiding the toll, which is still in exist ence on the road between the Angel and Islington green. _ _ . With regard to the general arrangements for this anniversary of the Smithfield Cattle Show, the club have made very considerable alterations. Instead of the awards of prizes by the judges and private view taking place on Monday, as formerly, they will take place on Saturday, the 6th of December ; and an experiment is about to be tried of making Monday, the Bth, a ss. day, and still continuing to give 4 days at the ordinary charge of ls. The new building has had the effect of stimulating the agri culturists in all parts of the kingdom.to take a more active part in the metropolitan competition, and the entries in every department are larger than on any previous occasion. The visitors ge nerally will not be the less pleased to know that their personal comforts have not been lost sight of. The Agricultural Hall Committee of Management have entered into a contract with the caterer for the Grand Stand at Epsom and the Battersea Park Agricultural Meeting to supply the refreshments during the ensuing show. ROYAL G.EOG.RAPLIICAL SOCIETY. The first meeting of this Society for the season of 1862.63, which took place last night in Bur lington House, Piccadilly, was a proof of the in creasing popularity of the body, and of the degree to which it influences all classes of the community. The large hall was crowded long before the hour announced for the commencement of business by a brilliant and distinguished assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, many of the latter bearing names of world-wide reputation in various fields of discovery and science. We noticed among those near the platform the Marquis of Winchester, Admirals Sir G. Back and Sir Edward Belcher, Comte de Paris, Earl of Sheffield, SirD. Brewster, Sir T. Fremantle, Sir H. Parkes, Chevalier de Schwartz, Captains CoHinson, Hall, Osborn, Pim, R.N., Col. Gawler, Sir C. Bright, Drs. Rae and Bright, Messrs. C. White, C. M. Grant, Brooking, Osborne, Smith, &c. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON, the president of the society, having taken the chair, and the minutes of the last meeting having been read, the list of con tributions to the library announced, and the names of new candidates read, the Chairman, pointing to a very large map of Australia, said that the papers which would be read had reference to the recent explorations in Australia. At the close of the pre vious session it had been stated that an endeavour would be made to provide a map on such a scale that it should show at a considerable distance the course of the explorers and adventurers in Austra lia, and not only their track, but the course of the rivers, and the character of the country which they had brought to light. He congratulated them on the possession of a map of a magnitude which ef fected this object. He had always admired the Australian colonists—their zeal, their vigour, their loyalty and attachinent to the mother country—and he had the greater pleasure in saying so, because among them there were to be found no advocates of of their secession or severance, which had unfortu nately found some advocates at home. So far as our fellow-countrymen in these far-of colonies were concerned, the day was far distant when they would dream of severing the tie that bound them to the old country. (Cheers.) The papers that would be read to the meeting were merely abstracts or offi cial reports from the governors of the different co lonies as to recent explorations and discoveries over that vast continent, and included those of Lands borough, Walker, Howitt, M'Kinlay, Capt. Nor man, G. E. Dalrymrle, &c. The papers read by the secretaries were full of in teresting details, and proved, as was said by subse quent speakers, that the old notion of an in.and sea and an inland desert must be relegated to the land of dreams or theories. The explorations traced upon the maps had resulted in showing almost every where rich pastoral and agricultural districts—in many places districts which gave indications of mineral wealth. New rivers—some of them navi gable—bad been discovered, and where not so far from the mouth they were available during a great part of the year for navigation and practical pur poses. The climate in most cases was described as healthy, and the valleys of the Victoria River, the country in the neighbourhood of the Burdekin River, and other districts, were shown to possess all the material and essential elements for the suste nance of a vast population. Sir R. M'DONALD, Governor of South Australia, on being called upon by the chairman, briefly but forcibly addressed the meeting, and added his per sonal testimony, as a " bushman," to the statements of the explorers in the colony of which he was the ruler, as to its immense undeveloped capabilities of supplying a happy home to English emigrants. With respect to the three explorations which had taken place under his Government, he explained that his ide i and that of the responsible Minister with whom he was associated was, not to cross the continent by way of the eastern and northern por tion to the Gulf of Carpentaria, but to find, in the direct line taken by Mr. Stuart to Victoria River, a shorter route, which would put Australia in direct communication with India and this country. Mr. Stuart, in one of his explorations, had reached a point not far from the settled portions of the Vic toria River Valley. He was now absent, but it was to be hoped that upon his return the communica tion would be found to be complete. There would then, he hoped, be in the first instance a direct tele graphic communication, and in the next a direct and short transit for the horses, cattle, and so forth which Australia could supply to India. Sir C. NICHOLSON, late Speaker of the House of Assembly, while concurring with Sir R. M`Donald as to the agricultural, pastoral, and mineral capa bilities of the continent, contended that the best mode of communication with India and this country was by way of Queensland and the Gulf of Carpen taria to the east and north. Governor KENNEDY, of Western Australia, in a very racy and telling address, explained what had been done in his small part of the map (about one third of the whole) in the way of exploration by the brothers Frank and Augustus Gregory. These explorations had taken place under his government, and all bad ended in adding largely to the cattle runs and the agricultural capabilities of the colony. They had done some strange things in the colony— they had turned a great many thieves into honest men—(hear)—by a very simple process, because there was nobody to rob, and nothing to steal. (Laughter.) Between 6,000 and 7,000 of that class had been sent out to the colony; and, strange as it might appea“, the proportion of crime to the popu lation was less than in any other part of her Ma jesty's dominions ; for the simple reason that the men were compelled to work to earn their bread, and there was plenty of room for them to do so; and he believed that if they had had the dame ad vantage at home the majority of them would never have been criminals at all. (Cheers.) Instead of going home as they all might that night in dread of being garotted, he would advise that this class should be sent out to his colony_ It would be far cheaper to catch and export them than first to watch and catch them here, next to try and impri son them and keep them there, and then, after a short confinement, turn them loose in order to re peat the same expensive process over and over again. (Cheers.) As to what the colony could i pr,, pro duce, he bad received from Mr. Gregory a eoi e of oyster s h e ll s t o h an d t o th e President as a gentleman here specimen of what it could produce. The hon. ge: ti showed, amidst laughter and cheers, two galled mother huge shells, presenting a large quantity of what of pearl, and said that he understood the mercantile value of these shells in this country was £l4O pei tonot fact w hi c h would 024140 Wotan Austr4ll4 even more valuable than the gold fields in other por - tions of the continent. Sir R. M4l)onald, Sir C. Nicholson, and Governor Kennedy warmly and eloquently expressed the !ceiling of deep loyalty and affection which prevails in all the Australian colonies to the mother country, its institutions, and its monarch, and the pain which they felt at finding the severance of the colonies treated lightly or approvingly by men high in office in this country. After some further discussion, the meeting ter. minuted with the usual vote of thanks. OPENING OF THE NE TV LAMBE7II SUS• PENSION BRIDGE. Yesterday at three o'clock this bridge was, for the first time, thrown open to the public. There was no ceremony beyond the withdrawing of the barriers in the presence of the directors and the secretary. This being done, Mr. Hodges, the dis tiller,drove the fire - engine,fullymanned,and drawn by four splendid chesnuts, from the Lambeth to the Westminster side, and the vibration it occusioned was very trifling. The Lord Mayor having started on his way back to the City at about half-past two, left plenty of time for a large portion of those who had seen the show to get to Millbank, and it is not, therefore, surprising that the bridge was thronged, both in the road and on the footways. We regret to say that some persons were entrusted with the parish engine, a small but weighty machine, which they drew across the bridge—apparently without any proper superintendence—at a great speed, the result was a respectable-looking lad about 10 years old, named Langridge, of New-street, Prince's road, was knocked down and run over. He was at once carried to the surgery of Messrs. Jeffree and Sankey, Paradise-street, Lambeth, where it was found that his arm was broken and his head consi derably bruised and cut; he was therefore placed in a cab and taken to St. Thomas's Hospital. This was the only "feature"—an unfortunate one, truly --in the day's proceedings. This is a wire rope and girder bridge, and is re markable rather for the cheapness and the rapidity with which it has been constructed than its light ness or beauty; its actual cost having been £30,000, exclusive of land taken, which cost another £lO,OOO, and its erection having occupied one day short of a year. It has three spans of 280 ft. each, and is over all nearly 900 ft. from end to end : the uprights are supported on cylinders similar to those now being fixed for the bridge at Hunger ford. The wire ropes to which the girders are suspended are of great thickness, and of the very best iron, an d th e whole is painted a dark green, and lighted by globe shaped lamps. The roadway is of wood, the piles used to construct Westminster-bridge having been made available. The footway is paved with thin flags cut from some of the etone of the old West minster-bridge. It is intended to charge no toll till the 16th instant, from which time foot passen gers will have to pay a halfpenny, and one penny per horse will be the rate for vehicles. These rates are as low as possible; and having re gard to the denseness of the population at Lam beth and Westminster, it is believed that this will be one of the exceptions to the general rule, which appears to be that tolled bridges over the Thames are not remunerative to the proprietors. MYSTERIOUS CASE OF POISONING IN WILTSHIRE. The secluded hamlet of Ludwell, in Wiltshire, has been thrown into a state of great excitement by the discovery of what. is feared to be a very foul and mysterious murder by poisoning. In Ludwell lives Mr. John Riddle, a wheelwright, who was held in very high estimation by his neighbours. His wife, Ann Riddle, died on the 22d of October, after an illness of some time, and the investigation into the cause of her death is likely to have a very serious aspect. At the first inquiry, held before Mr. Nelson, one of the coroners for Wilts, Dr. Shettle, of Shaftsbury, was the principal witness examined. He said he had attended Mrs. Riddle professionally since the 26th of August last. When he first attended her she appeared to be suffering from irritation of the stomach, and Dr. Shettle pre scribed remedies for that complaint. These, how ever, produced no effect, and the patient's sufferings continued, sickness and retching following after she eat or drunk anything. The doctor on finding this suspected that some irritant had been admis tered to the deceased, and expressed that opinion to the husband, who stated that that was impossible, since almost everything given to his wife was pre pared at the house of a friend and neighbour named Mrs. Towbridge, a schoolmistress in the village, who was in constant attendance on Mrs. Riddle. After some opposition on the part of her husband Dr. Shettle called in Dr. Roberts, of Salisbury, who saw the patient on the 14th. To him Dr. Shettle communicated his suspicions, but that gentleman did not entirely concur in the opinion, and thought the case one of malignant disorder of the stomach. The case was looked upon by both as a hopeless one, and no medicine was administered after the Bth. Mrs. Riddle died on the 22d. On the 24th Dr. Shettle made, on his own responsibilit3, a post-mortem examina tion of the deceased, which was at first objected to by Mrs. Trowbridge. The intestines and omen tum were much inflamed, but the lungs, heart, and pericardum were particularly healthy. The oeso phagus, stomach, bowels, and liver were placed in a jar, whieh was sealed and forwarded to Dr. Hera path, of Bristol, Dr. Shettle doing this without communicating with the family of the deceased wo man. He strongly suspected that Mrs. Riddle had died from poison. The body was subsequently dis interred, and examined by Mr. Cardell, surgeon, of Salisbury. He found a remarkable absence of de composition, and no trace whatever of any organic disease. He also was of opinion that a virulent poison had been administered. As Dr. Hemp ath could not conclude his analysis for some time, the inquiry was adjourned till the 21st inst. Mrs. Trowbridge is meanwhile in custody, and stands re manded till Wednesdaj next. The other portion of the body has, by direction of the coroner, been sent to another analytical chemist.— TVestern Daily Press. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE BY BOYS, The triumph of boys over the effigy of Guy Fawkes has been attended this year at Bradford with a very aggravated act of violence. The particulars were stated before Messrs. Aldermen Rand, Brown, and Light, and Mr. S. Smith, four of the magistrates of that borough, on Saturday last, when no fewer than 30 boys and youths, from 13 to 20 years of age, most of them employed in worsted factories, dyehouses, and iron foundries, were charged with having com mitted a murderous assault upon Mr. Isaac White, a respectable farmer, between 50 and 60 years of age, residing at New Millerdam, Manningham township, in the borough of Bradford. They were further charged with stealing Mr. White's property. Mr. Terry, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. J. G. Hutchinson appeared for 14 of the prisoners, and Mr. Cater on behalf of the others, the rest being undefended. From the evidence of Mr. Orauhan, chief constable of Bradford, it appeared that the prisoners and other lads, to the numb er altogether a of 40 or more, went on Tuesday nigh t last with hand-cart to Mr. White's farm, for the purpose of stolen conveying away pales and other fe ncin g mater ials to use as fuel for a bonfire. A tree blown down by the late gales having been previously same boys for the like purpose, Mr. White k ept theywa watch upon h we re unlawful approachede engaged ordered them to desist. He then l aid hold of th e hand-cart, an d no sooner had h e done so th an h e stones, wa s knocked hi m down, truck him vi o l en tly itheir r sl on b usiness, and y b when h theen t s th eh he ad , aattacked sticks, ft ai b ec y ke :s, the a a whole n and o l gang of b o y s, who, armed h pale s , e shoulders, kicked him, and left him insensible, His son soon afterwards found him, a n d 4 was removed to his house, where he has bee n confi ne d t o b e d ever s i nce. Nine of his te e th Were knocked out, and he was severely out and bruised all over. Dr. Bell was called in to s ee him the same night, and found him in a half-oonseious state. The doctor considered Mr. White's life in danger at the time, but on visiting him on each of the three following mornings he ap- Mred Le be oemoyilat better, 41thoug4 ocegaiumillY he complained of pain in his head. In his evidence on Saturday, Dr. Bell said he had not visited Ain White that morning, but on the previous day be was progressing favourably. Still, if he continued to go on favourably, he would not be able to attend the court to give evidence before a fortnight hence. The Bench remanded all the 30 prisoners fora week) but consented to take b a il for their appearance . Eleven of them, who were said to have been the most active in the commission of the outrage, wer e severally required to find two securities in £ lO each and to enter into their own recognisances in the sum of £2O, and the remaining 19 to give bail in half those amounts for their appearance nest Saturday. Mr. White, the prosecutor in the case, is well known in musical circles in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and is much respected. LAW INTELLIGENCE,—Nov. 10. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. TRAIN, HATHAWAY AND OTHERS. THE LATE TRAMWAY. In this case, which was a prosecution against the defendants for laying down, contrary to law, a train' way in the Queen's high-road, from Westminster bridge to Kennington-gate, and which resulted in, a conviction of the defendants, and the uprooting 01 the tramway, Mr. Joyce now moved for a rule to show cause why an attachment should not isans against the defendant (Hathaway) for the costs in' curred in the prosecution of the indictment against him ; and calling upon his bail—he having gone to America—to show cause why their recognisaneea should not be estreated. Train, one of the defee• dants, had been personally served with a rule before he left, this country for America, where, according to the public journals, he was at present; but Rath' away had evaded service. Mr. Justice Wightman—As far as the principal is concerned you are entitled to a rule absolute.; and as far as the bail are concerned, to a rule nag' Rules absolute and nisi accordingly. SABEY V. STEPHENS-MISCONDUCT OF A JURYMAN' This was an action brought by an aged widow' to recover compensation in damages against the de' fendant, for loss sustained by her in the death of her son, owing to his (vie defendant's) alleged neg' ligence in the erection of a scaffold on which the deceased and others were at work, and by the break" ing down of which plaintiff's son and another work' man lost their lives. It appeared on the trial, which took place a few days ago before Mr. Justice Crompton and a common jury in the Bail Court, and which resulted in a verdict for the defendant , that the deceased was a carpenter, in receipt of 335• a-week wages, and that the defendant is a zinc' worker in Old-street-road, St. Luke's. The accident occurred in St. Martin's-hall, where the defendant was employed to place zinc plates to reflect the sun-light. To do that it was necessary to construc t a scaffold, and a swing one was determined upon et i a suitable construction for the accomplishment of the object. The deceased and other parties, I°' eluding the defendant, were on the scaffold whey' unfortunately, one of the poles sustaining the planks broke, and all but the defendant were pre' cipitated to the ground. The deceased and another were killed by the fall, and the other pal ties who fell were more or less injured. The defendant saved himself by clinging , to and holding fast by 'a gas pipe, until a ladder was procured, and We rescue from imminent danger was effected. The evidence for the defence was, that the materials ern ployed in the construction of the scaffold were sound, but that in support of plaintiff (who mainll depended on her son for support) was that the de. fendant's negligence consisted in his employing unskilful persons to construct the scaffold. At the conclusion of the ease, and shortly after the verdict had been delivered, a juryman ad' dressed the learned judge, and complained that one of his brother jurors, as he was informed, bad written to the defendant, hoping as they had give n him a verdict, that he would in return give them compensation. The learned judge expressed his indignation at such conduct, but regretted that he had no pow er to deal with it. Mr. Sergeant Parry now made a similar rePre: sentation to the full Court, and complained th at the pure stream of justice was contaminated by such a proceeding. The Court intimated that, as the conduct 0 , °11 ; plained of was represented to have taken Pa l o after the trial had concluded, they had no Po to interfere. GOUN2.RI MARRL2AS. COLCrIESTER—Nov. 8.
