ITIE GREAT FETE OF THE ODD FEL- LOWS 42 THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The annual demonstration of the Odd Fellows belonging to the Manchester Unity Friendly Society took place at the Cr3stal Palace yesterday- Special trains were started as early as seven o'clock in the morning from almost every town of import ance within 200 or 300 miles of the metropolis. The low fares on most of the lines caused thousands to avail themselves of the opportunity of supporting this, the gre a t es t f r i en dl y soc i e ty in the world , and even as early as half past two o'clock not fewer than 34,119 persons had passed through the turnstiles into the building, whilst at the same time the approaches to the London Bridge station were thronged by many additional thousands, fighting their way to get a seat in a carriage in order to be conveyed to the Palace, so that eventually the total number oft visitors amounted to 45,674, being 21,245 more than were present on the same occasion last year. When the vast mass of people had assembled in the pounds, they soon forgot the toil and trouble they had experienced in getting to their destination, and prepared to enjoy the pleasures of the day, which they did in high good humour. At two o'clock a procession, with numerous banners and emblems, accompanied by some thousands of Odd Fellows, with sashes and numerous bands of music, paraded the terraces, ac companied in their march by several corps of rifle volunteers, with their bands playing. At three the great fountains were played. Fears were enter tained that the wind, which was very strong, would have prevented Blondin walking over the terrace fountains; but a slight lull taking place at four o'clock, he started and made one journey to the south end. On his return, however, it was evident that it was as much as he could do to keep his balance, the wind blowing a hard g ale, but he walked to the centre, having meanwhile performed many of his usual feats. Having bandaged his eyes, and thrown the sack over his head and shoulders, he started on this portion of his perilous journey. After a few slips, finding that he could make no progress, owing to the additional resist ance offered by the sack to the wind, he returned and threw it off, among the plaudits of the assem bled thousands. He, therefore, contented himself with running along the second rope, returning backwards and resuming his seat in his car. There were several other entertainments, such as boat racing on the lake for prizes, dancing on the lawn, &c., which the visitors enjoyed very much. The creature comforts of the vast host were well pro vided for by Mr. Strange, who is always prepared for the healthy wants of the masses as well as for the more fastidious tastes of the upper ten thou sand. We may here state that on the Ist of January in the present year this society numbered 335,145 members. In addition to its numerous lodges or branches in all parts of the United King dom, it has lodges in North America, Canada, Cali fornia, Cape of Good Hope, Natal, New South Wales, Victoria, and almost every other country. STATE OF TRADE. M ANCHES TER, Aug. s.—There has been a l arge business done to-day in yarns by most c l asses o f buyers, and prices have advanced id. per lb. upon th , e rates of last Friday. In some cases ld. per lb. advance has been paid on the prices obtained last Tuesday. In water twists, 16's, 24's, and 30's, and in 40's mule yarn, there has been a great demand at per lb. advance on last week's rates, and many of these kinds of yarns are being swept com pletely out of the market, and the stocks of other descriptions are becoming exceedingly small. In two-fold yarns, 40's, 60's, 80's, 100's, and 120's for Germany, there has been a considerable demand, and the stocks of all these counts of yarn are now very light. The cause of this extra demand lies principally in the good accounts the Germans here have received from their correspondents on the continent, which state that markets there are exceedingly bare of both yarn and cotton, while the increased prospect there is of a lengthened struggle in America gives more confidence in the maintenance of high prices. The continental markets are buying for winter con sumption, and shippers appear willing to buy any thing they can lay their hands upon which is suitable for that trade. In cloth the business has been only moderate, manufacturers are holding very firmly for full or higher rates, for shirtings, printers, and almost every description of fabric. Printing cloths are very scarce, and proportionately higher rates obtain for these than most other descriptions Confidence among the holders of cloth is increasing, from a belief that not only must cotton give way in price, but that, owing to the number of mills stopping, production is so rapidly decreasing as at length to afford them a prospect of remunera tive rates. Many manufacturers say that, had they closed their mills three months ago, and given their operatives three days' wages per week for doing nothing, they would have saved money ; but a belief is now obtaining that stocks will soon be cleared off to such an extent as to make manufac turing more nearly profitable, if not entirely so than it has beeen for a long time past. The next advices from India are looked forward to with much confidence that they will prove more encouraging to shippers than any for some time past, and may lead to considerable transactions. The shipments to India during some months back have been larger than might have been expected from the produe• tion now going on, but it is generally understood that it arises from shippers being encouraged to send out old stocks of goods, while the great ad vance they would have been compelled to give in the present position of the market here has deterred them from giving out orders. The rise which is taking place at Bombay and Calcutta in prices is giving rise to expectations of a better description of business shortly. Messrs. Du Fay and Co. say that during the last six months many countries h ave y ea r. The disturbed st a t e o f M ex i co h as re d uce d the "Ports to that country to one-fourth as com pared with 1861. To Buenos Ayres and Chili only about one-third of the amount previously sent was exported darien, the six he six months of the present year; to China and lib ° l l gkong less than one half. Except France, there is ee decrease v _arcely a country or market to which a ‘ 1413 not taken place. It is there fore hoped that prices ahroad will gradually rise to those ruling in this m ar k et, 'which at the present moment is the highest. LEEDS, sth.--In the cloth halls to-day there has usiaess is no w been a fair amount of activity. /1 &y sena almost altogether confined to the heavier goods, such as meltons, withr e, c a Of Nv hi elato-da pies of several new varieties have been s hown, and 6rders freely given. The state of the demand s on the clothiers' resources is now such that an ad vance in price is beginning to be talked of. It is almost a matter of certainty that such an advance will soon take place, and especially as the feeling is confi dently entertained that the American conflict can not be much farther prolonged. In the warehouses business continues brisk, as in addition to the orders for Canada, several representatives of large houses in London, Plymouth, Exeter, Glasgow, &c., have been here, and they have ordered goods for the autumn trade somewhat liberally. The sea son for light cloakings is new ended, and little is doing in plain cloths. ROCHDALE, 4TH.—The appearance of the market to day was not very animated, although business was considered to be in a satisfactory state. The principal demand is for mediums and Weiches, but for all other descriptions there is a fair inquiry. Business in the warehouses is active, and it has just received an i mpetus i n t h e way o f or d ers from Canada. There is a strong disposition to increase prices, and ' where sellers are strenuous upon th e point they are able to accomplish it. Sales of wool are only to a moderate extent. The high prices de manded by produce r s scarcely leaves the staplers a chance of profit, and therefore they have at present no inducement t 3 busi ness. 'IRE NEW ARCHDEACON— P te l 3 remhill, in the c oun ty Henry Drury, clerk , vicar of WILTS.—The Rev. of Wilts, an d Chaplain of the R on Cons, duly collated and installed in Saliabur r " e i zth mm e o dral as has been Arch deacon of the Archdeaconry of Wilts, late Venerable Archdeacon Macdonald, op t' room of the of the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Su lu ,: 4°n/bullion EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE Of' .. _ ARSON, At the Lewes assizes yesterday,befor , Mr. Baron Bramwell, Harriet Goble, a girl 17 ears of age, was charged with feloniously and maliciously set ting fire to a dwelling-house, the p t party of Chas. Milligan, he and other persons being therein at the time. In other counts of the indictment the intent of the prisoner was laid to be to injure the prosecu tor, and also to defraud. Mr. Roupell and Mr. Willoughby conducted the L prosecution. Mr. Ribton and Mr. Rosher were for the prisoner. The learned counsel for the prosecution, in open ing the case to the jury, described it as one of a very extraordinary character, no less than four fires having taken place in the house of the prosecutor on the same day, and by the last of them the pre mises were entirely consumed, and property to the value of between £3,000 and £4,000 was destroyed. He then proceeded to state the facts he proposed to lay before them, and the following evidence was adduced. Miss Mathilde Milligan, a fashionably-dressed young lady, of very prepossessing appearance, said —I am the daughter of the prosecutor, and in July last we occupied a house upon Crawley Downs, which he had built for himself, and which was en tirely detached. The family consisted of my father and mother, the latter of whom is very infirm, an old servant who has been 38 years in the service, and the prisoner at the bar, who was cook and housemaid. She came into our service in February ; but she was not regularly engaged, and it was un derstood that she was only to stop until we were suited with a servant. I had been to London for a short time previous to the 10th of July, and returned home on that day. While the prisoner was in the establishment I frequently complained of her, and there were repeated disagreements between us, and she was aware that she was to go the moment I could get another servant that was likely to suit. A servant did come upon trial, but she did not suit, and she was sent away, and the prisoner was told that she might remain with us a few days longer. On the morning of the 19th of July there was no fire in any part of the house except the kitchen, and the prisoner appeared to be engaged about her household affairs as usual. About 1 o'clock I observed that the house was full of smoke, and at first we thought it came from the kitchen chimney. The family dined about half-past two o'clock, and after dinner the smoke seemed to increase, and a search was made, and it was discovered that a port folio in one of the upper rooms was on fire, and a coat and dress were smouldering. This fire was extinguished, and nothing more occurred until six o'clock, when the prisoner gave another alarm of fire, and upon going upstairs I found that some books that were in a bookcase were burning. There was no fire of any kind in this room, and I do not know of any means by which the books could have become ignited. This fire was extinguished, and the house was examined, and no trace of fire was discovered. About half•past seven o'clock on tl.e same evening there was a third alarm of fire, and this time the fire took place in a totally different room. This fire was put out, and I then heard the prisoner call out, " A man, a man, running up the attic stains." I and some other persons went up to the attic, but no man could be discovered. The third fire was put out about eight o'clock, and the house was then again examined all over and found to be free from fire, and things remained in this state until half-past nine o'clock at night, when there was another alarm of fire, this being the fourth. This time the fire was found to have got so much hold that it was impossible to put it out, and the house and the greater part of its contents were destroyed, the value of the property lost being be tween three and four thousand pounds. Among the property that was in the house at the time the last fire broke out there was in my bedroom a small box which contained a silver tea service, and my watch was also in the same room, and these were found to be missing. I had a conversation with the prisoner, on the Monday after the fire, respecting them, and she told me she went into my room when the last fire broke out and she saw the watch was gone, but the box containing the plate was safe, and she took it up and went downstairs with it, and met a man on the staircase who knocked her down and took the box of plate from her, and she laid upon the ground insensible, with the flames burning all round her. I did not observe any mark of a blow upon the prisoner's face where she said she had been struck, neither did I observe that any of her clothes Ny ere burned. Cross-examined—The prisoner was only employed as a sort of "stop-gap," while we were able to get another servant. I may have made use of an expres sion to the effect "that I was sick of the place" where we were living, but that I saw no chance of getting away unless the house should catch fire. I think what I said was in answer to an observation that was made, that it was a wonder my father did not sell the house, as it was known I did not like it, and I remarked that my father would never leave it unless he were burned out. I think I heard the man servant make use of the expression that I had soon had my wish. I first suspected the prisoner when she told me such a strange story about the plate. Mr. Ribton—Now, Miss Milligan, I am sorry to put this question to you, but I am bound to do so_ Were there not some very unpleasant rumours about yourself in reference to this fire ? Miss Milligan—l believe there were. Mr. Ribton—Rumours that you yourself had set the house on fire ? Miss Milligan—l believe so. Mr. Ribton—lt was known, was it not, that you disliked the place, and wished your father to leave ? Miss Milligan—Yes. Baron Byamwell—Was the property insured? Miss Milligan—Not at all. Baron Bramwell--And you say the property de stroyed was of the value of £3,000 or £4,000 ? Miss Milligan—l believe £4,000, my lord. Baron Bramwell—Then your reversionary interest in it would probably have been worth nearly two thousand pounds ? Miss Milligan—lt would, my lord. Barod Bramwell—Were you and your father on good terms ? Miss Milligan—Yes, my lord, very good terms. Mr. Roupell, to the witness—On your oath, is there the slightest truth or foundation in the sug gestion that you had anything to do with setting fire to the house P Miss Milligan--None whatever. During the period that elapsed between the third and the fourth fires I was in a room with several other persons. In answer to a question put by the learned judge, the witness said that thb plate she referred to was in a very small box, and it could eas..ily have bee n carried away. No trace of it was found in the ruins of the fire. Mr. r.. Milligan said—l am the prosecutor in comet ha ease, and the father of the last wit ness . Th e ynture it because 1 considered as it was plei Ida a l n ot q l uestion was my own freehold p ro p er ty. it detached,l, and in the country there was no risk of fire. After the third alarm of fire I went a u ov i ng ani seurtthe house and examined it care. fully, and I Mr. Lilley, a fa :: was quite safe. amin 't e ta ti ed Cross, who was on a I hood, and a gentle /twe et living in the neighbour- 13 : 0 e a d they proved that I Was ezteienntor's house, and visit to him, were ex they were sent for to the examinedthat a f ter t t l h le e hthouils'de fire e d SaNV it 4 s uiehed they also were a bout to leave just at the ra afe nlo ;, end they the alarm of the fourth cenfiaarettei: nt when fire given. It appeared that thea mo n 1 was g hro the top of the hous e, the' r o a t :t where, it seems, there had been a large qua :' tity of waste paper kept. These witnesses also proved that Miss Milligan was in their company th e whole time that elapsed between the third and fourth fires, and that it was therefore impossible that she could have caused the mischief. These witnesses, as well as the prosecutor, were asked, as a matter of form, with a view to eh ow• that the act must ha ve bean committ e d by th e pri soner, w h e ther either of had set fire to the f' house, and they replied in the negative, Robert Howes, the man servant and the same question was , was examined Put to him, and he also replied in the negative. Mr. Kennard, a superintende n t of the Sussex police, Was then called to prove that the prisoner had made certain statements relating to the fire, which did not, however, appear to be very material, and this closed the case kir the prosecution. Mr. Ribton then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. He said that the case was un doubtedly one of a most extraordinary character, and the way in which the prosecution sought to establish the case against the prisoner appeared to be by proving that no one else in the house had done the act. He did not, of course, desire for a moment to impute guilt to any one ; but it was obvious that if the act had been committed by any one else, that person would deny it, and if the prisoner had been examined, and she had been asked the question, she would have given the same answer they did. He was then proceeding to observe upon the absence of anything like direct evidence to support the charge against the prisoner, when he was stopped by The Jary, who expressed their opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to support the charge, and they therefore found the prisoner not guilty. The learned Judge said he did not desire at all to object to the verdict, but he could not help ob serving, in reference to a suggestion that had been thrown out in the course of the case, that it was absurd to suppose that the act could have been com mitted by Miss Milligan, especially when it ap peared that she would be so great a loser by it. THE GAROTTING CASE IN WATERLOO- PLACE. Yesterday two young men, who gave the names of Henry Chandler, 9, Victoria-place, Smith's buildings, Bermondsey, and Dennis Murphy, 12, Herbert's-buildings, Waterloo-road, tanners, were brought to Marlborough -street Police-court, and placed at the bar before Mr. Knox, charged with being concerned, with others not in custody, in vio lently assaulting J. Pilkington, Esq., M.P., on the 15th July, in Waterloo-place, and stealing from his person a gold watch and chain, his property. Mr. E. Lewis was for the prisoners. Mary Hodge, 15, Friar-street, said—About one o'clock on 15th July last I was in Pall-mall, near the statue, close to the Athenteum Club. I was alone, and I pointed out the spot to the police. I saw a gentle man go past. He was not exactly young. I believe he was dressed in black, I saw a woman named Amelia go up to him. I saw her put her hands in an improper manner on him, but he did not want her, and told her to go away. She went on him a second time, and came back to Chandler, who was close by, and said, " I've got his jerry," and Chandler replied, " Very well, I'll settle him." With that he up with his fist, and knocked him down. The other man was with him, and he came up, and they both used him shamefully. They put their arms round his neck, and nearly strangled him. The men and woman went to a public-house, and the watch was sold to one of the prisoners' brothers. Mr. Knox—How do you know that ? Witness—Amelia told me so herself. The gentle man was not able to go away. I gave information to the police and the soldier on guard. Mr. Knox—Did you know either of these pri soners before ? Witness—l knew them both as perfect thieves. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis-1 am a married woman. My husband is in the 27th Company Royal Engineers. I was about some business in Pall-mall that night, and I could not get home before. I had been to King's-cross on business to my cousin. You may find out the business. Mr. Knox—You must answer the question. Witness--I went to Mrs. Drummond's, No. 2, Somers-street. I do not know the time I went there but I believe about nine o'clock. Cannot say when' I left. It might be about twelve o'clock. The witness, who is an Irishwoman, gave her evidence with great sharpness. Mr. Knox said the witness was cutting her own ,hroat by her manner. Cross-examined—lt was her business why she was at Pall-mall on the night in question, and why she went to Pall mall on her way home to Friar street, Blackfriars-road, from King's-cross. The witness here spoke with so much flippancy to Mr. Lewis that Mr. Knox said she was conducting herself abominably, and he must have more decency while giving evidence. Cross-examination continued—Had never been in trouble at the Mansion-house. Never lived with a man named Toby. Was standing in Pall-mall about ten minutes before she saw Amelia. Knew Amelia as a thief. The police had pointed her out to her as a thief. Had often been to Bow-street to see a lady friend. Had not spoken to Amelia on that morning. The first thing she saw was the gentle man knocked down like a brute. That was enough for her to see. Did not say the watch was taken first. The watch was taken when the gentleman was standing on his feet, before he was knocked down. Let the gentlemen come and speak for him self, if he is alive. Mr. Knox said—The evidence of the witness is one tissue of impertinence. At first I thought she was drunk, but she says she is not. It is impossible to put any faith in what is stated ; especially where life and limb are in putperil. A more disgusting ex hibition in a witness-box I never before witnessed. Mr. Superintendent Hannant said the witness Hodge camp to the station-house, and made a state ment that she witnessed the assault on a gentleman in Waterloo-place. She said the two prisoners, and a woman named Amelia, were the parties. The superintendent here gave the statement made at the police-station by the witness, which varied in several important particulars from the statement above made. Mr. Knox said there was a contradiction between the statements. Mr. Hannant said the witness took him to Water loo-place, and pointed out the place where she said the gentleman was knocked down. The place was about 100 yards from where the transaction oc curred, and was also on the other side of the way. He could not imagine the motive the witness could have for making the charge against the men. The charge was a very serious one, and he did not feel justified in not entertaining it, though he had his doubts about the veracity of the witness. The witness was recalled, and told to conduct herself with more propriety. Re-examined—Both stories were true. Did not know which of the three said " I have got his jerry." Amelia did not say so. Sbe said, "I have not got his jerry. I'll go back and get it." Mr. Knox referred to his notes, and pointed out the entire discrepancy between this and the pre vious statement. Mr. E. Lewis—Well, tell us which is the truth. Witness—You may take his worship's statement. It was Murphy put his arms round the gentleman. I was near enough to see that the two men were together. The woman was not with them. I don't know which of the two men took the watch. I did not see who put his arms round the gentleman. I screamed a dozen times for the police. The superintendent said the men were bad characters. One of them had been convicted. Mr. Knox said, had the charge been one of ordi nary importance, the way the witness had given her evidence would have caused its dismissal as soon as she had made her statement. The task was im posed on him of discharging the two prisoners, who, even if they had been returned convicts, and shown to ba the very worst of characters, could not have been held in custody on evidence such as had been given before him. The woman had perjured her self and contradicted herself iu every way. She had given two versions of the same story, both incon sistent with each other; in short, the whole of her story was a mass of shameless perjury. It was im possible that the Queen's subjects could be detained in custody on such unsupported evidence, and he should, therefore, order the prisoners to be dis euarged.

Mr. Roupell and Mr. Lumley Smith conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Itibton defended the prisoner. The learned counsel for the prosecution, in open ing the case to the jury, said he was quite sure from its very serious nature that they would give it their circumstances depe depended u most serious and careful attention, as the life of the upon their which verdict. hieh the charge was preferred, whi c h l a y i n a ver y sma ll com pass. The prisoner and the deceased, it appeared, were both privates in the 18th Hussars, three troops of which regiment are stationed at Brighton, where they are quartered at the Pavilion Barracks, in Church-street. The affair took place on the Bth of June, which was Sunday; and it appeared that the prisoner was one of ten men who were appointed to be on guard, and he and another comrade were on duty at one o'clock, again at eleven, and at nine o'clock at night he was again placed on duty with a comrade, named Hughes, at the entrance of the bar racks in Church-street. According to the military re gulations it appears that ten rounds of ammunition are served to each man in one pocket, but they are not allowed to open this packet; and when they s are on guard their carbines are not loaded. After the prisoner had been on guard a short time he asked his comrade Hughes to change positions with him, as he said he wanted to see some one come in at the gate, and he should be better able to do so, and Hughes did as he was requested. In a few mi nutes the deceased and another private soldier named Swires, came into the barracks, and the pri soner called out "Is that you, O'Dea ?" The de ceased replied, " Yes, Flood," and the prisoner stepped forward, presented his carbine at him and fired, and the ball passed completely through his body and struck against a wall behind. He ex claimed, "Oh God, I am shot," and fell to the ground, and he was taken into the barracks, and medical assistance was promptly obtained, but it was of no avail, and he expired shortly afterwards. The prisoner did not attempt to make the slightest effort to escape. His piece was smoking when he was secured, and upon his being taken to the guard room he said in a composed tone, " All right, cor poral, lam not going to run away." There was, of course, not the slightest doubt that the prisoner was the man who shot the deceased, and upon his packet of cartridges being examined it was found that one was missing. After he had been locked up a short time he inquired of one of his comrades who came to see him whether O'Dea was dead, and upon his telling him that he was not, but he was afraid be soon would be, the prisoner replied "If he is not dead, I hope that he soon will die." The police were sent for, and the prisoner was given into the charge of the superintendent, who asked him if he had been drinking, and he at first said that he had only drunk one pint of beer, but he afterwards said that he had had three pints of beer during the day, and a glass of rum, but although the prisoner appeared to be in a sort of studid state it was the opinion of those about him that he was perfectly sober. The prisoner was then removed to the :police-station, and, as is usual in such cases, a police-constable, named Neeve, was placed in the cell with him during the night. It appeared that while they were in the cell the pri soner inquired of the policeman whether O'Dea was dead, and upon his answering that he did not know, the prisoner said ho was sorry that another was not with him at the time he shot him, for then he should go to the gallows comfortable. He then said he had ,not the least notion of doing what he had until six o'clock, and he also said that in the early part of the day O'Dea, the deceased, had threatened to give him a thrashing, and he told him he was not a fighting man and he would not make a blackguard of himself. Upon the prisoner being examined before the magistrate, and his being asked whether he wished to make any answer to the charge, he volunteered the following statement : " Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, I went on guard, and when I returned to the barracks I took my ammunition out of the pouch and placed it on the window, as I did not want to carry it about as it was so hot. I went on duty again at eleven o'clock, and O'Dea came to me, and abused me, and threatened me. When I went back to the barracks I put the cartridges into my pouch for fear the sergeant should come and ex amine me. The carbine was not loaded by me, but it was fired by me. That is all." With regard to the statement of the prisoner that he had not loaded the weapon, it appeared that although he was not actually seen .to do so, yet that during the afternoon he had been observed lying down in the barrack room covered by his cloak and a rug, and that he had his carbine with him, which he ought not to have had, but which should have been placed in the rack ; and as the weapon was a breach-loader, it was stated that he could have easily loaded it at this time without any one being aware that he was doing so. The only assignable motive or provocation for the commission of the crime by the prisoner appeared to be this :—ln the regiment to which he belonged, and generally throughout the army, it appears to be the custom that the horses and accoutrements of the men who are on guard shall be cleaned by some of their comrades, who are told off, as it is termed, for that purpose; and that the men belonging to the 18th Hussars were in the habit of holding a sort of mock court-martial among themselves and pun ishing any of their comrades who did not properly perform their duty or misbehaved themselves. On the day this affair happened it seemed that the duty had devolved upon the deceased to clean the pri soner's horse and accoutrements, and that he com plained to the prisoner that he had left him a very dirty saddle to clean, and the prisoner replied that the saddle was quite clean when he left it, and the deceased then said that he should have him tried by court-martial. The evidence that was adduced completely bore out the above facts, but it was elicited by Mr. Rib ton, in cross- examination, that these court-martials among the men were held without the knowledge or sanction of the officers, and that upon two occa sions the prisoner had been so tried for some petty offence, and that he had been stripped and flogged in the barracks by one of his comrades, with his doubled belt, according to a sentence that was passed upon him. It also appeared that the prisoner had been four years in the regiment, and that he bore the character of a quiet inoffensive man, and that the deceased was a very violent man, and that he was continually abusing him, and that he had gone to him while he was on duty on the day the affair happened and made use of bad language to him, and he was served with a sort of formal no tice that he was to be tried by a court-martial for leaving his saddle dirty, and was told that he would be flogged as he had been before. It likewise ap peared that during the afternoon of the Bth of June the prisoner had drank two pints of ale, and that while he was on guard some girl with whom he was acquainted took him a couple of glasses of rum, and there is no doubt that he was to some extent the worse for liquor when he committed the act. Mr. Ribton, at the close of the case for the pro secution, made a most able and eloquent address to the jury for the prisoner. He said the isssue they had to decide was a most awful one, for upon their verdict it would depend whether the wretched man at the bar, who might be said only to have arrived at the very dawn of life, was to be consigned to the scaffold, and be deprived of his existence by an igno minous death—a fate that must inevitably follow if they returned a verdict of guilty upon this charge. He then proceeded to state that all he could attempt to do was to endeavour to induce the jury to find him guilty of the lesser offence of man slaughter, a n d h e sa id it appeared to hini that there would justify were circumstances in this melancholy case that them in coming to that conclusion. The learned counsel then referred to the facts given in evidence, and said there could be no doubt that the unfortunate deceased was a vio lent man, and that he had repeatedly in sulted the prisoner ; and that the latter, although he had been admitted by his officers to be a good soldier and a well-behaved peaceable man, had been subjected to a great deal of ill-treatment at the hands of his comrades. He submitted, there fore, that at the time he committed the act he was smarting under the treatment he had received from the deceased, and that the act might be considered to have been committed in hot blood, which would justify the jury in acquitting the prisoner of the crime of wilful murder, and convicting him of man slaughter only. M r. Ba ron Martin, in his summing up to the j ary, said he felt it his d u ty t o s tate that a great many of the topics that had been introduced by the learned counsel for the prisoner ought to be dismissed alto gether from their consideration, and they must act upon the law as he should lay it down to them, and without any regard to the consequences of the ver dict they might pronounce. Tho learned counsel had complained that in this country a jury could not in such a csse as this find that the murder was committed under extenuating circumstances ; bat he must observe that a verdict of guilty, if it was accompanied by a rec)mmendation to mercy by the jury, amounted to tie same thing; and if there really were extenuating circumstances in the case such a recommendatien was always attended to by the Crown. His lordship then briefly alluded to the facts that had been deposed to by the witnesses, and he said that it was very probable that the de ceased had made use cf rough and threatening lan guage to the prisoner; but the law of England did not for a moment consider that this was any usti fi ca tion for taking human life, and it a pp ea red to him that if they believed tho evidence the offenchuman AUGUST 0, 1882, of the prisoner amounted to the crime of wilful murder. The jury retired to deliberate IlDon their verdict, and were absent about an hour. Upon their return into court they found the prisoner Guilty . . Mr. Avery, the deputy clerk of arraigns, then asked the prisoner in the usual form whether lie had anything to urge why sentence of death should not be passed upon him. The Prisoner replied—l was greatly excited by the way in which 1 had been treated, and by drink, and did not know what r was doing. lam now very sorry, and repent what I have done. Mr. Baron Martin, having put on the black cap, addressed the prisoner, and said that after a long and careful trial, and a most able speech by the learned counsel on his behalf, he had been convicted of the crime of wilful murder, and the jury had con sidered everything that had been urged in his favour most attentively before they came to that decision. It appeared to him that no one who had heard the evidence could have come to a different conclusion. It was clear that he had received some offence from the deceased, and that he brooded over it, and this and the drink he had taken had led to the commis sion of the act ; but these were circumstances that afforded no justification, and it appeared to him that there was nothing in the case which reduced the cr i me t o o ne of manslaughter. The real fact, no doubt, was that having, as he supposed, received some ill-treatment at the hands of deceased, he de termined to revenge himself upon him, and carried out his intention in the most deliberate manner. It was now, therefore, his duty to pass on him the sentence of the law, and at the same time he felt it right to say that he could not hold out to him the slightest hope that mercy would be extended to him, and he should be leading him astray if he were to do so. When one man shot another in the manner he did, if ever the punishment of death was to be inflicted, it appeared to him it was impossible to avoid it in such a case, and he therefore exhorted him to prepare to undergo the great change that inevitably awaited him. His lordship concluded by passing sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner, who seemed to be very much af fected, and who cried bitterly during nearly the whole time of the trial, almost fainted when the sentence was pronounced, and he was assisted from the dock by two of the turnkeys. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—LEWES, August 5. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) GOSLING AND WIFE V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY COMPANY. ThO plaintiff in this action was a grocer at Three Bridges, and he sought to recover damages for in juries sustained by his wife, owing, as was alleged, to the defendants having improperly left a heap of chalk in a road leading to the Hey ward-heath Sta tion, through which a vehicle in which he was driv ing was overturned. The defendants pleaded that the road in question was a private road where the public had no right to go, and whether it was so or not was the only question in the case, a number of witnesses being called on behalf of the plaintiff to show that the road in question had been constantly used by them and other persons without any objec tion being made by the company, while the case of the latter was that the road was their private property. Baron Martin, in summing up the case, ruled that although the road in question might in point of fact be private, still if the company allowed the public to use it, they were bound to take care that it was not left in a condition whereby an accident might be occasioned. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, £llO. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) MORGAN V. SIMPSON. This was a common jury cause. The plaintiff was Miss Clara Morgan, the well known danseuse, and she brought an action against the defendant, who was the late proprietor of Cre morne Gardens, to recover damages for his breach of an engagement he had entered into with her for her services at Surrey Gardens during the present season. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Paxton were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Watkin Williams appeared for the defendant. This was one of several actions which are to be tried upon this circuit, arising out of the same alleged breach on the part of defendant. The case on the part of the plaintiff was that, through the interven tion of Mr. Milano, the celebrated ballet-master, an engagement was entered iuto with the defendant and his manager, Mr. Bishop, that the plaintiff should be engaged as one of the principal ballet dancers at the Surrey-gardens, during the present season at a salary of .£4 a week, and that she made all the necessary arrangements for that purpose, and was prevented from obtaining another engage ment. As the public are aware, the site of the gardens has been purchased by the , governors of St. Thomas's Hospital for the erection of their in tended new building, and, consequently, the gar dens were not opened as a place of amusement, and the parties with whom it was alleged the defendant had entered into engagements have all, it appeared, brought actions to recover damages. Mr. Milano, who was the principal witness for the plaintiff, was examined, and he proved that in the month of April of the present year he had a conversation with Mr. Bishop, who was the manager for the defendant, upon the subject of engaging the plaintiff and her sister, Miss Barbara Morgan, as danseuses at the Surrey-gardens, and the result was that the professional services ot; the plaintiff were engaged for the season, at the salary of £4 per week, which was the same salary she had formerly received at Cremorne. He also said that he was himself engaged for the season, and that he had brought an action against the defendant. Miss Clara Morgan, the plaintiff, proved that she was informed by Mr. Milano, who always acted on her behalf in these matters, of the engagement that he had entered into with the defendant, and she consequently made the necessary arrangements to provide her dresses, and did not seek to obtain another engagement. She stated that when the engagement was broken off by the defendant, she made a professional tour to Scotland and to New castle, but this was not so profitable to her as the London engagement would have been, as she was residing there with her friends, and her travelling expenses were very h eavy. The case on the part of Mr. Simpson was, that he had never made or authorised to be made any such engagement as the one that was now set up, and it was alleged that Mr. Bishop had ceased to be his manager, and that he merely held a lease under the defendant of the Surrey -gardens. It was stated that the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital were in treaty with Mr. Simpson for the purchase of the gardens as the site for their prcposed new hospital at the beginning of the present year, but as nothing definitive had been arranged, and as it was the Exhibition year, it was thought that the gardens might be used profitably for the purposes of public amusement, and arrangements were therefore made to obtain the services of several professional ladies and gentlemen. As it was known, however, that the governors of the hospital might come to terms at any moment, care was taken that all the engage ments that were made should only be for the period of one week; and it was alleged that this was the sort of engagement that had been made with the present plaintiff, and that she, consequently, was not entitled to recover in the present action. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— £'2o. damages, CROWN SIDE. (Before Baron Martin.) Allan Brett, a lad 17 years of age, surrendered to take his trial for misdemeanour, in having un lawfully attempted to destroy his own life. Mr. Wyatt prosecuted. It appeared that the defendant was a labouring lad, and that, on the day named in the indictment, he was in a barn with a boy younger than himself, when the latter, who 'had gone :away for a short time, saw the defendant apparently hanging by the neck from a beam, to which he had attached a hand kerchief. The boy was frightened, and gave an alarm, and some people living in the neighbourhood west into the barn, where, as they said, they saw the boy black in the face. It turned, out, however, that he had received the slightest injury, and the boy said that he had merely done it for a lark, and that, although his body was apparently hanging from the beam, his legs rested upon a waggon, so that there was not the least chance of his hurting himself. The jury stopped the ease, and acquitted the pri soner, and the learned judge cautioned him not to play such a trick•again, and he was discharged. Richard Hoare, who was stated to be a man pos sessed of considerable property at Newhaven, at which place he carries on the business of a ship— owner, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of stealing a Japanese cabinet, value £5O, the pro perty of William Butner. He was also charged with feloniously receiving the same, knowing it to have been s t o l en. Sergeant Ballantine was specially retained to pro secute in this case, with Air. Merrifield; and Mr. Hawkins, Q,c , was also specially retained with Mr. Barrow, to defend the prisoner. The circumstances of the case were rather pecu liar. It appeared that on the 17th of May a large It ship, called the Resident Van Son, of which Mr. Butner was the captain, was wrecked between Seaford and Newhaven, but through the exertions of the Coast Guard and others the crew were saved, as was nearly the whole of the cargo. Mr. Vandenburg, the agent for the Dutch Consul, c ame t o Newhaven to mak e th e necessary . arrangements with regard to the vessel and the cargo, and, by his directiono, the whole of the latter was placed into a warehouse belonging to the pri soner until the owners and underwriters could be communicated with, and he at the same time gave orders that no portion of the cargo should be re moved under any pretence whatever. It seemed that among the property on board the ship there was a cabinet that had been purchased by Capt. Butner at Japan, and which he intended as a present for his wife, but when the cargo came to be overhauled this cabinet could not be found, although the cap tain was certain that it had been removed from the vessel with the other property. The prisoner was questioned relating to the article, but he positively denied all knowledge of it, and the cabinet was g i ve n up for lost. At the letter end of June, however, Mr. Vandenburg had occasion to go to the prisoner's private residence, and he there saw a cabinet standing among his other furniture, and he asked the prisoner where he got it, and, according to his evidence, the prisoner said that he had purchased it of: a man in the street, and that it was only papier mache. It appeared tilt he sus pected this was the same article that had been missed from the wrecked ship, and he communi cated with Mr. Butner who, at his request, made a sort of rough sketch of the cabinet by which Mr. Vandenburg immediately formed the opinion that it was the same he had seen in the prisoner's house, and he and the captain went there, and the latter immediately recognised it as his property. From the evidence of Mr. Vandenburg it appeared that directly this discovery was made he went to the prisoner, who was at an hotel in the town, and told him of the fact, and he represented that when he did so the prisoner said he was very sorry, and hoped he would not prosecute him, and upon those facts the present indictment was instituted. Mr. Vindenburg, who appeared to be the,.prin cipal witness in the care, was cross-examined at very considerable length by Mr. Hawkins, and it was pretty evident from some of his answers that a very friendly feeling did not exist between him and the prisoner, and he admitted that an action had been commenced by the latter against him for defamation of character, and that the present charge was not preferred until after he had been served with a writ in that action. It also appeared in the course of the case that there was not the slightest attempt to conceal the cabinet, but that it was placed in the parlour of the prisoner's house, where every one could see it. There was likewise some dis crepancy in the evidence given by Captain Butner and Mr. Vandenhurg as to the expressions that were actually made use of by the prisoner. Mr. Hawkins made a most able speech to the jury for the defence, in which he urged all the favour able points in the case in behalf of his client, and remarked upon the extreme improbability that a man in his position should have been guilty of such an offence when he mast have been almost certain of detection. He then called witnesses who proved that the cabinet had been sent to the prisoner's house to be taken care of, and a number of others who gave him a high character for honesty and integrity. Mr. Baron Martin having summed up, the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of not guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-Aug. 5. WORSHIP-STREET.—ATTEMP TED SUICIDE. —.Rebecca East, a mild-featured girl, only 15 years of age, was charged before Mr. Cooke with attempt ing to destroy herself by poison. A week since evidence was given at this court by the keepers attached to the Victoria Park and others, of tho prisoner having been found in the en closure there in an excited and sinking state, that she broke a small bottle labelled " poison" when noticed, but denied that she had swallowed any of the contents, and it was doubtful whether this assertion was false, as, 'although an emetic was administered, no certificate was put in showing the result; but the girl admitted that her purpose was self-destruction, and that she was induced to attempt it in consequence of having been seduced by a young man named Thomas Lee, who a fortnight previ ously brought her from the country and deserted her after effecting her ruin. In reply to ques tions by Mr. Leigh, the then sitting ma gistrate, and Mr. Safford, the clerk, prisoner said that she had a sister in or near Manchester square, but no other relative in London, conse quently a remand was ordered that inquiries might be prosecuted. Mr. Cooke now asked whether the girl's sister was in attendance, and a very neatly dressed young woman stepped forward and was sworn. Mr. Cooke—Are you this girl's sister ? Witness—Yes, sir; but I did not know she was in London. Mr. Cooke—Have you any parents ? Witness—Only a mother, sir, and she is at Ports mouth. Mr. Cooke—Have either of you the means of tak ing care of this poor girl ? Witness—Oh, no, sir ; our mother can scarcely earn her own living, and I am but a servant. Mr. Cooke—What, then, is to become of her ? Mr. Daniel Cooper, secretary to the Society for the Rescneofyoung Women and Children, the offices of which are in Queen -street, Cheapside, here ad dressed the magistrate, observing that his attention having been drawn to the sad nature of this case, he was prepared on the part of the society to receive the girl, and provide for her in one of the twelve " homes" attached to it. Mr. Cooke—Have -- any of those " homes" the power to provide the admission of such as have fallen from the paths of virtue ? Mr. Cooper—:Most assuredly so, Sir; and there are others for various classes of offence in their dif ferent stages, the result of which arrangements are specially gratifying, the objects not being confined to the reformation of lost character, but also to the preservation and religious training of such young persons as are deprived by circumstances of the ad vantages and blessings comprised under the term "Home." I regret, however, that many deserving cases have been and still are rejected solely for want of funds. Mr. Cooke—ls it compulsory for the inmates to remain ? Air. Cooper—Certainly not, Sir. Cooke (to the prisoner)—The chaplain of the House of Detention informs me that you are peni tent, and have promised,with apparent truthfulness, never to repeat this great crime. Your relatives are, from their position, unable to assist you. Here is a gentleman who steps forward on the part of a most praiseworthy society, and in its name offers to re ceive within its doors one who manifestly is in need of rescue and protection. Will you go ? The prisoner having obtained her sister's approval of the worthy magistrate's suggestion, instantly ex pressed her desire to adopt it, and was discharged from custody. HAMMERSMITH.—IMPORTANT CAB QUES TION.—Mr. Ingham gave a decision in a case of some importance both to the public and cab-drivers. In consequence of complaints made by the visitors to the International Exhibition of cabmen picking their fares the police were instructed to take out summonses in all cases in which there was a refusal to be hired. In the cases proved the full penalty of 40s. has been imposed, which has had the effect of rousing the whole body of cabmen to consider their present condition. In the case of Alfred Rockall, a licensed driver, which was similar to the others, - Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, defended. The evidence showed that he was driving along the Brampton-road, when he was hailed by two persons. He shook his head and drove on. Sergeant Birch, who watched him, called out " cab," but he aga i n s h oo k hi s head and drove on faster. He afterwards took up a party of four per sons. The summons was taken out in accordance with the terms of the 35th section of the Ist and 2d William IV., cap. 22, as follows :—" That every hackney carriage which shall be found standing in any street or place, and having thereon any of the numbered plates required by this act to be fixed on hackney carriages, shall, unless actually hired, be deemed to be plying for hire, although such hackney carriage shall not be on any standing or place usually appropriated for the purpose of hackney carriages standing or plying for hire, and the driver of every such hackney carr i age w hi c h \ shall not be actually hired shall be obliged and com pellable to go with any person desirous of hiring such hackney carriage." Mr. Lewis argued at some length that the act applied only to cabs found standing, and that if they were going along they were not to be deemed to be plying for hire. Mr. Ingham was of a contrary opinion, and considered that the Legislature intended the act to apply to all persons plying for hire. He held that the defendant was standing though he was going, so satisfied was he of the intention of the act of Parliament. The worthy magistrate consented to adjourn the case, and several others, for the purpose, of conferring with his colleague. Mr. Ingham n ow ga ve hi s d ec i s i on . He stated that he had considered th e point, and he. was He was of opinion that th e s t a t u te a per fectly satisfied that ther e was nothing toln ts appliedwas Plying t o pay p , a y l . l n g for cases of plying for hi re . A s th e d e fendant hire he convicted him, and ordere d 40s. and costs. Several other cabmen wer e fined the full penalty for the same offince. William Smith was a l s o summonedmoned for th e same offence, and he was defended oy of Stepney. In gentleman from the office of Mr. Joseph Smith,ln this case the defenaant was driving his horse through K n ightsbridge at a walki ng pace , an d hailed he shook hi s h ead, and repro. was going t o change horses. He s u e p a o t n e d be t i h n a g t he afterwa rds took up a party of four persons. M r, Smith ' s clerk took the same objection as Mr. Lew i s . He also argued that, if the case held good, a driver who had been out alb day with ) 114 12 " go, 414 was just about arriving at his stables to change horses, would be liable to be hired, though his horse waq not in a fit state to go the journey. Mr. Ingham said that if the driver in such a case proved he intended to change horses he should take upon himself the responsibility of excusing him, but that was no excuse for not taking two persons when he afterwards carried four. He never fined cabmen unless he was perfectly sure that the case had been proved. He had had many cases before him in which the defendants had made statements so probable that he had dismissed them. He thought the case against the defendant proved, and he fined him 402. and costs. Mr. Smith's clerk then asked his worship for a case, to settle the point as to the interpretation of the 35th section. He stated that he had the autho rity of a noble philanthropist, who had interested himself in the cabmen's behalf. Mr. Ingham immediately granted a case. THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG JOAN FROM POISON AT ISIJNO2OS, Yestcrday the investigation was resumed by Mr. John Humphreys and Dr. Lankester, at the Castle Tavern, Holloway-road, respecting the death of Sarah Ryan, aged 22, who was found dying from the effects of prussic acid in the house of a friend of her's, under most ordinary and unexplained cir cumstances in July last. Mr. Wainwright, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr. Greening, a lodger, who was in the house ist, the time the dec ease d was f oun d i n th e agon ies 01 death. It will be recollected that the deceased, who was a respectable young person, left her home in perfect health on the afternoon of Sunday, July 6, to see a servant in the employ of a lady at Coles-terrace/ Barnsbnry-road, and that she partook of dinner , after which the servant went out for some time , leaving the deceased in the kitchen, Mr. Greening , a lodger, being upstairs. After the lapse of a short interval a lad called for deceased, and he knocked for some time before he obtained admittance, when on proceeding to the kitchen he found deceased in' sensible upon the floor, with her clothes disarranged and above her knees, and her hair tumbled and In disorder. The lad stated that when he looked lips his eye caught that of Mr. Greening, who was en the staircase, looking over at the scene, and that gentleman then came down stairs, and they at' tempted to revive the deceased, but without suc cess. Ultimately death took place, and upon the post mortem examination, Professor Harley found prussic acid in the stomach, and a peculiar appear ance in the uterus, apparently as it pregnancy had taken place about three weeks previously. The coroner, Mr. Humphreys, upon taking 11 15 seat, said that since the last meeting of the Court every endeavour had been made to obtain evidence which would afford a clue to the elucidation of the mystery, but without avail. Such being the case it would not serve the ends of justice to keep the mat ter open any longer, and he should therefore ask the jury to come to their decision 'at once. Mr. Ashley said that, on behalf of Mr. Greening , he had to observe, with regard to what had trans pired on the previous occasions, that he had no ob ject in anything but the fullest investigation of all the circumstances- However, after what had fallen from the learned coroner, he (Mr. Ashley) should not think it necessary to take the initiative in fur ther inquiry. Mrs. Ryan, the mother of the deceased, said that her daughter had evidently no intention of taking her own life, and she was seen in good health and spirits half an hour before she was found dying. The Coroner then proceeded to read over the voluminous depositions at length, and remarked thet no phial had been found in which deceased could have brought the poison into the house. The tumbler found in the kitchen, however, was stated by Pro fessor Harley to have contained cyanide of petas" slum. All endeavours to ascertain whether a young woman had purchased poison had been futile, and there did not seem to be the slightest evidence that deceased had contemplated or threatened suicide. The whole case was one of extraordinary mystery, if not of suspicion, but the only safe course would be to bring in a verdict that death resulted from poison, but how the drug was administered there was no evidence to show. Such a verdict would leave the question still open, if by accident further circumstances to elucidation should become known• The jury, after a very anxious and protracted consultation, asked for a further adjournment to give time to the Home Secretary to offer a reward for theelucidation of the mystery, and the discovery , if possible, of the guilty party. The Court accordingly adjourned for that pet' pose. COUN2.RY MARKL S. LEEDS—TUESDAY. The supply of English wheat is small to-day, and of foreign there was a moderate show.
