THE CEANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER ON VOLUNTEERS. The ceremony of presenting the prizes to success ful competitors of the 13th and 14th Companies of the Queen's Westminster Rifle Volunteers (St. Martin's Division) took place last night, at the Freemason's Tavern, by the Rev. G. W. Humphry, the Vicar of St. Martin's. Subsequently a supper was given in the great hall, at which the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, presided. After the usual toasts were drunk, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said—Gentlemen, the reception you have given to the toasts which it has already been my good for tune to propose to you, convinces me that you will require but a few words, and not much persuasion, in order that you may give the toast I have now to propose the reception it merits. I have to ask you, gentlemen, to drink to " The Navy, the Army, and the Volunteers." (Applause.) The first of these three services I fear is not personally and actually represented at this board. The others are repre sented by distinguished members of the respective services. Now, gentlemen, it is impossible to pro pose this toast—although, as I have said, it would not be necessary in order to insure its reception, that anything should be said on the subject consistently with the feelings which we, as Eng lishmen, entertain, without saying at any rate one word on its nature and character. We propose to drink, gentlemen, to the " Army, Navy, and Volunteers." Two of these services are very ancient, the other is a service not so an cient, and, yet, though not so ancient under the name it bears, in reality, perhaps, it is as old as either of them, because , after all, the periods of real crisis and danger, the main reliance of Old Eng land has not been merely on professional services, however distinguished, but on the patriotism, spirit, courage, and self-devotion of its people. (Loud cheers.) If we go back as far, at any rate, to the time of Queen Elizabeth, it was not then in regular an d well -organised services that that extraordinary Sovereign, whose name, I hope, will always retain a high place in the estimation and gratitude of E n glishmen—(cheers)-.it was not in particular and highly organised services, however meritorious, that the main reliance of this country under Providence was placed. It was in the deep attachment of every Englishman—an attachment founded and rooted alike in his heart and understanding to the laws and institutions of his country. It was in that lay the greatest of all our resources, and our surest hope, that whatever amount of trial might be put on the country, yet the demands made on the peo ple of that country would be fairly and fully met. (Cheers.) Since that time, gentlemen, we have seen both the navy and the army of this country assume A permanent form, and in compliance with the re quisitions and exigencies of modern society, become portions of our fixed institutions. As portions of the fixed institutions of the country they have at all times held a high place in our esteem, regard, and admiration. We have always found them thoroughly efficient for the purpose for which they were appointed, namely, the purpose of maintain ing the honour, the security, and the safety of our country. We have never found them, on the other hand, exposing us to dangers which sometimes are associated with those insti tutions —I mean the dangers to those liber ties which we prize more dearly than even our own lives. (Cheers.) Unhappily, gentlemen, there are in Europe armies who have never seen and never faced any adversary in the field except their fellow-subjects and fellow-citizens. (Hear, hear.) Such is not the case in the army of England, and whenever an Englishman becomes a soldier, from having been a citizen he becomes something else he was not before. He has the same attachment as if he still remained a civilian to the laws and institu tions of the country, and he pays the same respect to its magistrates and its constituted authorities as if he had never put a redcoat on his back. (Cheers) Ile knows, gentlemen—a soldier knows and a sailor knows—that he is not the hired instrument of des. potism for the purpose of supporting laws and go -vernments that are odious to the people amongst be exists, but that he is truly appointed for a pur pose to which his attention ought to be devoted— namely, that of defending against foreign foes the shores, the hearths, the altars, and the homes of England. (Loud cheers) lam afraid, gentlemen, there are countries—aye, that at this day there are portions of Europe—where, if they could gather to gether such an assemblage of their citizens as Inow see before me, the toast of the navy, or at an rate the toast of the army, of those countries would not meet with a very enthusiastic reception. (Cheers.) But such is not the case within these walls, and such is not the case in any assemblage of English. men that may, perchance, on whatever occasion, be gathered together from one end of the country to the other. Under whatever circumstances it may occur, never can the toast of the army and navy of England be proposed without a perfect certainty on the part of him who proposes that it will meet with a reception not merely formal and decorous, but as hearty and enthusiastic as that given to the name of the Sovereign herself. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, such being the case with those distin guished services, so well tried in other tames and in our own, and never found wanting on trial—(oh) —we have now to direct our attention for one moment to that special occasion which brings us here to-night. We meet to celebrate—in some sense to enjoy, but we meet to celebrate—the in stitution of that volunteer force which is not less characteristic, I will venture to say, of this country, and perhaps not less conducive to its permanent security than even the more:regular, or at any rate more maturely or more liberally organised services of the army and navy. I won't pretend to say that I am able to form an opinion that a reason for the existence of the volunteer force is to be found in the special dangers besetting the country. I may, perhaps, be too sanguine. lam certainly not one of those who believe that the curse of war has dis appeared from the face of the earth. If there be any among us who have cherished such fond delusions, unhappily we have but to look to the land inherited by our kith and kin in order to see that the horrors of war, unmitigated in their character, and almost unexampled in their extent, still affect branches of the human family, with which in blood and feeling we are most nearly associated : but yet I do venture to believe that some progress is being made by the mutual intercourse, by the kindly offices which commerce begets, by the facilities of communication, by the increase of national education, and by the tree circulation of the knowledge of public affairs which has become to us almost a portion of the atmosphein an; rwhich we breathe. Without indulging over -sanguine cireams,lcannot but hope that a t any rate a grant that this side of the Atlantic—and God there is gradually also prove so on the other— men some dearelell spreading ° through the minds of viction, or, at all events, some fuller glimp se of the great truth that the interests of men are in anion and tear ing one anothe r to concord, and not in tear the forest. (cbeeropie ces like the wild beasts of same to anticipat e ' the tilt still we must not pi-0- R is to arrive at all, and we can not knows whether nie rot arrive very soon—when hope that it will and convert the spear lay aside arms think it is the i nto thr i the sword into the Pl"ghslaare. Pcnning-hook and universal conviction in this co netr 4 utterance when I say that the naan3ne°r I gi" call has been met during the last in which th e effort on the part of English citizens i, years for an Y their own personal exertions, and also no small amount of person al sacrifice, to supply the country with e. ne a rm of defence , of all others the most constituti on:, of all others the least likely to create alarm a b road, because of the most essentially defensive manner i n which the call has been met, has given us a new assurance, if any assurance were wanted, that-- whatever may be the effects a nd fruits of peace a mong ourselves _the ancient spirit of Englishmen still continues to animate the breast of every man, in whatever class of English society, an d will in the hour of need be found equal to whatever emergency may arise. Gentlemen, it is not for m e to speak to you in detail on the prospects of the volunteer force. There is no doubt that it is no easy matter to main tain a permanent force of this description. This is not a case where we can proceed as in the regular services. I am not about to enter, and you will not expect or desire me to enter on the partieu' 3 r mea sures which have recently been recommended. All I venture to say on the part of her Majcst3 's Go vernment is this, that I believe they value the volunteer force as highly as it is valued by the country at large—(cheers)—and every proposal re lating to its welfare is certain to receive from them the most careful and most anxious consideration. (Renewed cheers.) It is not easy to say to what point you may securely go in aiding the volunteer force with public assistance. It is quite evident that if it is to retain its character of a volunteer force, that is, if it is to retain the character which imparts to it its principal value, it must in the main be self reliant and self-supporting. (Cheers.) It will be a matter of some difficulty to determine the point to which that principle—that ess ential principle— of independence must be carried, and the point at which public aid may b e given. But, gentlemen, the wisdom of Parliament and the best efforts of the Government will be given to the consideration of that question from time to time, and whatever may be the issue of that consideration in regard to this or that particular , I fervently hope, as you, hope, that this force may be maintained in a state of effi ciency—in that degree of efficiency which has al ready made it the honour of the country, and a new guarantee of its security. (Cheers.) It is impossible not to see that in many ways the institution of the volunteer force has worked well on British society. I must say that, if Ifelt that in other places, I never felt it more than in the room or place in which I now address you. This apartment in which we sit is an apartment which has been commonly used for the purpose of receiving gatherings of people who represented, for whatever purpose may be immedi atelyin question, the entire metropolis, and I have the satisfaction of seeing it crowded from end to end with the volunteer force, and with those who imme diately take an interest in the volunteer force, not of the entire metropolis, but of one only amidst its almost countless parishes. (Cheers.) Well, it is honourable to the parish of St, Martin's that such a meeting should be gathered together on such an oc casion. It is not only honourable to that parish, but I think it must suggest to the mind of all of us this important truth—the constitution of the volunteer force has tended to supply us with a new tie of so cial order—a new bond between the different classes of the community. If there has been up to this moment a defect in the military institutions of this country— I will not call it a fault because a fault it is not—bu t if there has been a blank which has been required to be supplied, it is this, that while the officers of the army have been recruited from the class of the gentry, and while the rank and file of the army have been created from the men of the population, there was a void between those classes which re mained to be filled, (Cheers.) With respect to the great and intelligent middle class of England— that class which is perhaps more than any other, certainly not less than any other, characteristic of the country, and that class which appears to ac quire, under our laws and institutions, progressively from year to year an increase of influence and power as well es extension in numbers—there seemed to be until the institution of the volunteer force, com partively speaking, I may almost venture to say, no place for the members of that class in the military service of the country. Now, I think it is a great pity that the members of that class, who are cer tainly not deficient in the spirit that animates the rest of the country, should have no vent for that spirit—that no scope should be afforded to the feel ings of a body of persons so important. At any rate, it was the great happiness and the peculiar felicity of the volunteer force, especially in the cities and large towns of the country, to afford an open ing to all men without distinction of class to give what time and energy they could to contribute to wards the security of their country, and to give them likewise an opportunity, while they contri buted to that security, of finding themselves brought into closer and more kindly union one with another. I think it may be fairly said, so far as I have had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the volunteer force in various parts of the country, that it has in a very eminent ;degree answered that purpose ;of uniting the members of the different classes of the country in a relation which is at once warm, kindly, and free, as among themselves, and likewise, by the nobleness of its object, of giving a new guarantee of the safety of the nation at large without the possibility of offence. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I trust that you will believe that those with whom I am immediately as sociated in the councils of the Crown are deeply impressed with those feelings which I have expressed, and are sincerely desirous in their sphere and on their part to cherish and mature that institution in the cherishing and maturing of which you have borne a part much more essential. I rejoice to hear of the flourishing condition of the volunteer•force of this particular parish, and I trust that the feelings of Englishmen, without distinction of class or party, is that the prospects of maintaining this force as a permanent portion of the institutions of the country are prospects in which we may cheerfully and safely rely. At any rate, lam convinced that so long as the volunteer force may exist we may feel assured of this, that in the event, which God forbid, of the day of danger arriving —a day when we may be called upon not merely to undergo personal exertions and sacrifices, which would be cheerfully borne, but to stand side by side and shoulder to shoulder with the regular army in the defence of the country-- - --on that day, I feel perfectly convinced, whatever may be the pressure, whatever may be the trial, you would not be found wanting; but you would, on the con trary, be found worthy of a glorious brotherhood in arms with those who have established for themselves a name and a fame second to none throughout the length and breadth of the world. (Loud cheers.), The toast having been drunk, Colonel WooD returned thanks for the army, and Lord RANELAGH for the volunteers. Other toasts having been drunk the company separated. FATAL EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE OS THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, opened an inquiry at the Royal Saxon Tavern, Alfred-road, Paddington, into the circumstances of the explosion of the locomotive Perseus, on Saturday last, at the depot of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, by which three men, James Wilson, aged 18; John Eldred, 20; and Christopher Thompson, 23, lost their lives. Mr. Gooch, C.E. , attended on the part of th e rail way company, and produced a model of the engine boiler. VV The Coroner, on taking his scat, said that he only proposed to identify the deceased and view the scene of the occurrence on the present occasion. A juror asked if Mr. Gooch had formed any opi nion as to the real cause of the accident. Mr. Gooch said there was no doubt about the cause. The bottom of the boiler had become thin about the rivets, and had given way- Anne Haines, 8, Heatherston-street, Haverlock hill, said she was the mother of James Wilson, who was 18 years of age, and unmarried. Ho was a cleaner. Thomas Eldred said he was the father of John Eldred, who was 20 years of age, and was an engine cleaner on the Great Western Railway. He was. married. Witness knew nothing of the accident. Evidence was also given as to the identification of Christopher Thompson. _ _ The jury then proceeded to view the exploded locomotive, which presented a mos t singular appear ance. Th ere were, as expla i ne d b y Mr. Gooch, 400 tubes in the body of the engine, and these were sent oat on a ll s i des at right angles, and looked not un like th e quills upon a porcupine. A portion of the 1 toP of th e engine of immense weight was torn o 1 and hurled through the roof to a considerable dis tance. Several yards of the iron girder of the roof of the shed had a great distance by been lifted off bodily and blown to had alighted on a h the forc e o f the explosion.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin gave a grand enter tainment at the Mansion-house, in celebration of the majority of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, on Monday. Above 100 guests were invited. The Oak-room was elegantly and appropriately laid out for the occasion. Amongst the distinguished guests were the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary for Ireland. His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, in re sponding to the toast of his health, said—You, my Lord Mayor, have assembled this distinguished com pany on a most auspicious day. (Hear, hear.) We are glad to celebrate together with you the majority of the Prince—the hope of the realm—the first of our fellow 'subjects. We all hope that the day may be far distant when he will rise to a still higher po sition; but we all hope that this day will come. And while the portion of us who, like me, are silver headed, are now ready to hail the arrival on the shores of these islands of a most fair and accom plished princess, we trust that those who come after us will see, not only in the play of " Hamlet," but upon the throne of the United Kingdom, another " beauteous Majesty of Denmark." (Applause.) I cannot either forget, with reference to his Royal Highness, that I had the high satisfaction last year of bringing him into this hospitable mansion, where he thoroughly enjoyed the varied attractions of the evening. I also call this an auspicious day on another account, as it has witnessed the inauguration of an undertaking designed, I know, and calculated, I be lieve, to give to the inhabitants of this crowded and populous metropolis a greater command over the means of health and cleanliness. (Hear.) I how ever, happily for you and myself, have already had the opportunity of saying on this subject, in the course of the day, as much as I could wish, parti cularly as during the reign of your lordship, as well as that of your predecessors, it had been the habit to indulge in a milder beverage than water. All things, however, have their proper place, and I will conclude with a hearty wish that whilst a sup ply of pure and fresh water may ever abound in the houses and streets, and the confines of Dublin, the generous wine cup may never be dry in the hospit able mansion of the Lord Mayor. (Hear, and loud applause.) Sir R. PEEL, Bart., M.P., in responding to the toast of his health, said—l am very much obliged to you, my Lord Mayor and gentlemen, for drinking my health. I feel more than flattered by the very unexpected complimentary allusion which the Lord Mayor has been kind enough to make with respect to the connexion I have with this country through my birth. I don't know that I can in any way im prove the position I hold in this country otherwise than, as it has been—and of course ever shall be— by my most earnest desire, acting under the instruc tions of the Viceroy, so to follow that just, impartial, and enlightened policy which will best promote the interests of the country. As I have been called on to say a few words, I am glad of the opportunity, which this occasion supplies to me, of assuring you of what has been said by the Viceroy, with respect to the immediate occasion which has called us to gether this evening at the hospitable board of the Lord Mayor—that is, that I trust, in common with all this company, that the prince, to whom allusion has been made, may earn for himself that stamp of merit which certainly was his father's true source of honour. (Hear, hear.) And as the noble Vice- roy has referred to a quotation from "Hamlet," I may be permitted to say also that I hope he may represent in his person the realisation of that per fect character which has been delineated by Shak spere in.one of his plays in. the following words " His years are young, but his experience old; His head umnellowed, but his judgment ripe ; He is complete in stature and in mind, With all good grace to grace a gentleman." This is really a subject which very much interest us all—ourselves, the Prince, the constitutional govern ment, and future conduct of the country ; and we may, on an occasion like the present, dwell upon it with much earnestness and delight, particularly at a scene like the present, which represents the elite of this metropolis of Ireland. And when wa re collect that at this moment civic feasts are being held in a number of places through the "United Kingdom, I for one, in common with all of you, re joice in the opportunity which is afforded us of uniting our feeling with that universal sentiment which at this moment fills every breast, I am cer tain, in all those companies, combining in one har- monious expression of good will to that Prince, who. from this day, enters on a public life, I hope of use fulness, in the fairest and most auspicious way. But while this company, and many such companies assembled at this hour through the United King dom, join in giving him the expression of our hearty good will, we unite also in the hope that he may, by the rectitude of his principles now, and when called upon to succeed to the throne of those realms God grant, as the Viceroy well said, in many years yet to come—but when he does succeed to the throne of these realms we hope, as loyal subjects, that he may win for himself the personal esteem which endeared his father's character to every per son in the community, and which, now that his father is gone, endears his memory to the recollec tion of all. (Hear, hear.) We all in this company hope, as loyal subjects, that the Prince, while walking in the path of virtue and moral discipline trod by his father, may win for himself that affec tion and attachment which secured for our beloved Sovereign during the latter part of her reign, the heartfelt loyalty and devotion of a contented and united people. POSI-OFFICE ROBBERIES. It is very satisfactory to find that the recent alte rations in the regulations of the General Post-office relative to the registration of letters, and the re duction in the amount of the fee charged for regis tering them, has been found to work most satisfac torily in one respect, namely, by most materially reducing, if not altogether annihilating, the offence of stealing post letters containing money or valu ables. This mime, as the public is aware, was for merly carried on to a very great extent, and hardly any session of the Central Criminal Court took place—and the same observation applies to the Assizes—without five or six postmen being charged with stealing letters that were entrusted to them to deliver, or which they purloined during the pro cess of sorting. Those cases where detection took place did not by any means represent the total extent of the crime, as complaints were continually made to the head office of the loss of letters containing money and valuable property, but the circumstances were such as to afford no clue to the detection of the guilty party. The cases where detection took place were always of a very painful character, as it is known that the Post Office authorities are very strict in making inquiries relating to the persons whom they take into their service; and many of the unfortunate post men who could not resist the temptation of purloin ing a letter given to them to deliver which contained money or other valuables were persons who up to that time had borne a most irreproachable charac ter; and the sentence of penal servitude, which the judges felt it invariably to be their duty to pass upon them, was attended not only with ruin to themselves, but to every one connected with them ; and the Rev. Mr. Davis, the chaplain of Newgate, and the other officials at that prison, have fre quently in their reports stated that these are the most painful description of cases that came within their notice. Various schemes were adopted with a view to put a stop to the crime, but the mode that was usually carried out was by making use of what is called a test letter, addressed to a fictitious per son in the district from whence complaints of the loss of letters containing money had been made. The effect of this proceeding, however, was merely to detect the guilty party ; bat, although the post men were perfectly aware that such means were employed to discover those who were guilty of a breach of trust, it did not appear to have any effect in deterring them from committing the crime, and they trusted to the chance of being able to destroy the letter, and get rid of the coin contained in it, before any inquiry should be made. The crime, therefore, instead of diminishing, was undoubtedly on the increase. The recent regulation, however, appears to have almost completely put a stop to the offence, and it operates in the following manner : —The public is aware that the fee for registering letters containing money or valuables was formerly one shilling, but by the new regulations that fee is reduced to fourpence, and all persons sending money or other property in a letter are cautioned as to the necessity for registering it. In addi tion to this, the Post Office authorities have the power in all cases where a non-registered letter evi dently contains coin to register it themselves, and the party to whom it is addressed is required topay a double registration fee of Bd. before the letter is delivered. It is well that the public should be aware of this fact, as the new regulation undoubt edly tends greatly to the protection of property passing through the Post-office, as, in the very few instances where a post-office money order cannot be obtained, a letter can always be registered, and the temptation to dishonesty formerly afforded to the servants of the Post-office is almost entirely abo- lished. Persons.who have been in the habit of send. ing small sums of money in letters would do wel not to forget the effect of this alteration, as in etanees have occurred in which a small amount such as a shilling, has been sent in a letter, and the Post office authorities, of course not being aware whether it was a shilling or a sovereign, have themselves re gistered it, and the person receiving the letter has been compelled to pay Bd. of the amount, as the double registration fee. The effect of the new re gulation must, however, soon become generally known, and there is no doubt it will be found to work most advantageously as regards the suppres sion of this peculiar description of crime. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From Me Registrar General's Weekly Return.) The mortality of London was high in the week ending last Saturday. The deaths were 1,184 in the last week of October ; they rose to 1,307 in the first week of November. The average number of deaths in ten weeks (185261) corresponding with last week, with a correction for increase of population, is found to be 1,239 ; and hence 68 persons died last week more than the number that would have been re turned if the average rate of mortality for the be ginning of November had ruled. The most fatal of the diseases of the zymotic order was scarlatina, which numbered 89 deaths. Measles was fatal to 69 children and one adult, 8 of which cases were in Bethnal - green, 4 in the sub-district of M a gdalen (Bermond se y), 4 i n th a t o f St. wahvorth, and 4 hi the W a t er l oo - ro ad, Peter,St. aryM second sub-district. _ sub-districts w ere : —St. M argare t, Of deaths by scarlatina the numbers returned by 5 ; Church, B e th na l- green , 5 ; S t . and Brixton, 4. the following Peter, W e s t m v n s a t i e w r, r t 5 ; There were 13 deaths from small-pox, 7 of which occurred in the East districts.

METROPOLITAN WATERS IN OCTOBER, 1862. The total impurity in the Thames waters, accord ing to the analyses of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomp son, F.R.S., is nearly equal in the respective com panies for the month of October, the mean being somewhat less than in September. The mean of the organic impurity is slightly greater, but varies in the different waters.

THE MANAGER COMMITTED ON A SECOND CHARGE. At the Manchester Police-court yesterday, Jonah Andrew, the manager of the City Bank, was brought up on remand, and the evidence completed in the case on which he has been committed for trial, as already reported. . A witness from the Union 'lank, London, proved that the bill of Mr. Lyon, of £37 17s. 6d., had not been advised, and Serjeant Shanley, of the detec tive police, said that when he apprehended the prisoner at the Free-trade Hall he said that the transaction was merely a debt. In reply to the usual caution, the prisoner said he had no statement to make. He was then proceeded against on a second charge of a similar character to that of Mr. Lyons. The prosecutor was Mr. Thomas Smith, ironmonger, Oldham-street, who, by his salesman, paid into the prisoner's bank £lO on the 16th ult. to meet a bill due in London on the following day. The place of payment was stated in the advice note to be the Union Bank, London, and according to the evidence of Mr. Coulson, the prisoner's clerk, the bill was advised on the 17th ult. to the prisoner's agents, Messrs. Spooner, Attwoods, and Co. It was by the prisoner's request that the advising of the bill was postponed for a day, and on the 20th Messrs. Spooner, Attwoods, and Co., refused to honour the prisoner's drafts. The prisoner had nothing to say in answer to the charge, and the Magistrates committed him for trial, offering to accept bail, the prisoner in £6OO, and two sureties in £3OO each.—Manchester Guardian. MURDER IVEAI2 PRESTON. A diabolical murder has just been perpetrated at Ribchester, a small village a few miles from Pres ton. The victim of the outrage is an old woman 80 years of age, named Ann Walne. She was a widow, and kept a beer-house, called the Joiners' Arms, in Fleet-street-lane, Ribehester. Ordinarily she resided by herself. Beyond keeping the beer house she was the owner of a few cows, which were attended by a labouring man in the neighbourhood. The impression in the locality was that the old woman had a good sum of money. She was of care ful habits, did a very fair trade, and although four score years of age, managed to serve in the bar and superintend her affairs with remarkable facility. On Monday night she shut up the house and re tired to bed in good health. At seven o'clock yes terday morning the cowkeeper came to the place, and, as usual, knocked at the front door in order to get some cans, &c., out of the house. He knocked for some time--longer than usual—but no one came to the door. He then went to the back door and knocked there, still there was no response from within, and he began to suspect that there was some thing wrong. His idea was that the old woman was dead. On looking on one side he found that one of the back windows was open. This circumstance alarnaedhim, and he went for one or two of the neigh bours. On returning the door was broken open, and they went up stairs, where they found Mrs. Walne in bed with her hands tied to the higher bed-posts, and two shawls over her face. On removing the shawls they saw that she was quite dead. Her face was black, her eyes were swollen up, and blood was oozing from both her ears. She had evidently been suffocated ; first tied down, and than gagged with shawls and smothered. The news speedily spread throughout the neigh bourhood, and one or two policemen were quickly on the spot. There is no direct clue to any one as to the com mission of the murder, but it is supposed that the guilty parties reside in or about Ribehester, that they know the circumstances of the old woman, and that their object was money.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday the new Lord Mayor (Alderman Rose) attended the justice room for the first time in that capacity. On taking his seat on the bench he referred to the dignity which his predecessor had given to the office of chief ma gistrate during the two years of his mayoralty, and which, he said, he was desirous to maintain as far as in him lay. With that view he kindly bespoke the aid of Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, and Mr. Oke, the assistant clerk, founded on legal know ledge and experience in the administration of justice. Wm. Lang, 28, a well-dressed man, described as a commission agent, and who had refused his ad dress, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with conspiring, with others not in custody, in ob taining from Messrs. Humpherys and Co., of Wood street, Cheapside, goods of the value of nearly £230, with intent to defraud them. The examination was conducted by Mr. Turner, a solicitor. On Friday last, when the prisoner was first brought before the Court, it was proved that a few weeks ago the prosecutor sold a quantity of goods to a man named Berger, at a month's "payment." On Saturday week Berger gave them, in payment, a check for £228 on the London and County Bank, which had since been dishonoured, he himself being a bankrupt. About five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the prisoner hired a cab, driven by William Webb (badge 13,421), at the corner of Bow-lane and Watling-street, and by his direction two very large boxes, brought from a neighbouring shop or house, were put upon it. The prisoner then entered the cab and was driven, at his request, to the Dover Railway Terminus, at London-bridge. There the boxes were left, and the prisoner re-en tered the cab and was driven back to the coiner of Bow-lane. A large number of paper parcels were there hastily crammed into it by the prisoner, as sisted by a porter. He again got into the cab, and was driven first to Fish-street-hill, and then to a house in Scarborough-street, Tenter-ground, at which the parcels were delivered, and the prisoner discharged the cab. William Jarvis, a detective police-constable, said he afterwards went with Webb, the cab-driver, to the house in question in Scarborough-street, in search of the prisoner. They were told he was not there, but witness afterwards found him locked in a parlour. On being asked if his name was Berger he repliLd in the negative. He was then accused of removing property from Bow-lane, which had been obtained by fraud. He pleaded ignorance of the matter, but on being confronted with the cab man he said the property he had brought there was banded over to Berger the same night. On being asked if he knew where Berger was to be found he said he did not. He was then given into custody. The prisoner refused his address, and witness had since learned that the goods which had been re moved by Webb belonged to Berger. The prisoner, in reply to the Lord Mayor, still declined to give his address, and on that evidence he had been remanded, with the option of giving bail in the meantime,—himself in £2OO and two sureties in £lOO each. Yesterday, as the result of a consultation between Mr. Turner, solicitor for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis for the defence, the prisoner was discharged, in order, it was said, to his being admitted to give evidence in the case, but with an intimation that otherwise ho might still have to answer the charge. Mr. Pollaky, who in the case of Hugo Dullens, partly heard here on Saturday, stated that the pri soner had defrauded Messrs. Patek, Philippe, and Co., of Geneva, of goods to a large amount, desired to explain that he inadvertently gave the wrong name, and that Messrs. Lecontre and Sublet, musi cal instrument makers at Croix, Switzerland, are the firm whom the prisoner had so defrauded. CLERKENWELL.—WiIIiam Harrington, a grocer and postmaster, residing at Hadley, Middle sex, was charged before Mr. Barker with causing the death of William Hammond, aged 72, on the 4th of November, in the Holloway-road, Islington. Mr. L. Lewis, jun,, of Ely-place, attended for the prisoner. The prisoner in this case was brought to this court on Friday last and fined ss. for being drunk, and incapable of driving his horse and chaise. it was then stated that he had on the previous even ing knocked down an elderly man, who was then suffering from concussion of the brain and unable to attend the court. Edward Robins said he resided in the Holloway road. He saw the deceased crossing the road at the time that an omnibus was passing. He got clear of that vehicle, but the chaise which the pri soner was driving came in contact with him and knocked him down. The horse went over him, and when he assisted in picking up the unfortunate man he found him insensible. The wheels had not touched him. The prisoner was driving at the rate of about eight miles an hour. Both the pri soner and the man who was with him in the cart were drunk. He drove the man who was in the cart home, because he said that he was so nervous he could not drive. That person was Mr. Foster, of the Iron Duke public-house, Weston-place, Somers-town, Police-sergeant Daniels, 38 S, said that he-saw the prisoner on the night of the accident at the Highgate Police-station. That was some distance from the spot at which the accident happened. He saw that the prisoner was the worse for drink, and he charged him on the sheet with being drunk and incapable. An inquest had been held on the body of the man the prisoner knocked down, and a verdict of manslaughter was returned against him. He apprehended the pri soner on th e coroner ' s war- . rant ou Monday night. Mr. Barker said it was a case which would have to go to the sessions upon the coroner's warrant. The prisoner would b e reman d e d f or the completion of the depositions. The magistrate consented to take bail, two re sponsible sureties in the turn of £5O each, and the prisoner in £lOO. Patrick Cochran, well-known t o th e po li ce , was charged with stealing from John Percy the sum of £2 10s. at Islington. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor had been drinkin g rather freely. On Monday he was seen in a publichouse by the prisoner to change some money. A short time afterwards the prisoner caught hold of him, pinned him against the wall, and, thrusting his hands into the prosecutor's poc ket, stole .1;2 10s. in gold. With this he ran off, and would have made his escape had it not been for Police-serg. It. White, 14 N, who saw him running, knew that he was a thief, and stopped him. Two sovereigns were found by the police. The police stated that he had twice before been convicted of felony and robbing from the person. Mr. B ar k er f ully committed h i m to t h e sessions. Patrick *Donald and Michael Connor,labourers, w ere charged with being drunk and disorderly. M‘Dontild was further charged with assaulting Police -constable George Ranger, 199 61, Staples, 42 0, an d W in . P eet , 415 A, i n the execu tion tion of their duty. Robo t r .

M'Donald at once began kicking the constables, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he could be got to the station. The other prisoner endeavoured to incite the mob to rescue his companion, saying that he was a Pope's man, and that it was a great shame that he should be locked up. Mr. Barker fined M'Donald 205., or, in default, 21 days' imprisonment, with hard labour; and Con nor he fined 10s., or, in default, 10 days' imprison ment. The prisoners were locked up in default. SOUTHWARK.—Stephen Tupsell, a conductor belonging to the Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, was brought before Mr. Combo charged with being drunk and assaulting Barnett Harrison, a hawker; also with stealing his cloth cap, value 3s. 6d. The prosecutor, a Jew, said that about 9 o'clock that morning he was standing opposite a teashop selling his goods, when the prisoner cline up to him and said, " Are you here again, you b- Jew ? Whom are you for, Garibaldi or the Pope ?" The witness said he was for neither, and begged of him not to interfere in his business. The prisoner im mediately struck him in the face, knocked his cap off, and threw it afterwards among the mob who had assembled. He was so severely ill-treated that he was compelled to take refuge in the teashop, but a constable came up, and he gave the prisoner, who was drunk, into custody. George Holmes, a salesman in the Borough-mar ket, said he was present, and confirmed the state ment of the previous witness. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the prosecutor was a nightly nuisance to him at his stand by St. George's Church. He merely want up to the Jew for a lark. Mr. Combe observed that fire•escapes were ex tremely useful if under the charge of sober and efficient hands, but if they were under the authority of such persons as the prisoner they would be entirely useless and liable to bring dis credit on that excellent institution, the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire. He should order a communication to be made to the secretary respeo;ing the conduct of the pri soner, who he considered was not fit to hold the situation of conductor or to have for the future charge of a fire-escape. At the same time he should flue him 205., with the alternative of 14 days' im prisonment. A young woman, named Ann Bennett, aged 28, wss charged with attempting to commit suicide by taking laudanum. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, said he had been made acquainted with the circumstance by a chemist, into whose shop she went and asked for a penny worth of laudanum to allay the pain of her tooth. The chemist, perceiving something strange in her manner, mixed her a harmless liquid, which dhe seized with avidity and drank, saying, " Now I have done for it, as I have taken a larger quantity of laudanum before this." The chemist called in a con stable, and as she appeared very ill he recommended him to convey her to Guy's Hospital immediately. Police-constable 125 M said that he conveyed the prisoner, who soon sunk into an insensible state, to Guy's Hospital, where the stomach-pump was used and a quantity of laudanum ejected. As soon as the prisoner had sufficiently recovered she told him that she had taken three-pennyworth of laudanum before she went into the chemist's shop in the Dover road. She also said that her father had turned her out of doors and refused to assist her. The Magistrate told the prisoner that it was for tunate for her that the chemist in the Dover-road had acted with such caution, as he had evidently saved her life. She did not appear to understand her critical position, therefore he should remand her until Monday next. In the meantime she would have the advice of the chaplain at Horsemonger lane Gaol. LAMBETH.—Mr. James Budget, the proprietor of the vitriol works adjoining the New Kennington Park, formerly the property of Mr. Farmer, ap peared to answer to a summons, taken out ag ainst him by the direction of Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, charging him with having upon his pre mises, and unlawfully using in his trade, a furnace not constructed so as to consume or burn its own smoke. From the evidence adduced it appeared that in the month of December last year the defendant had been convicted in a penalty of £5 for a similar offence. The nuisance continuing after this, Mr. Sanderson, the Government inspector, visited the premises in June last, and finding that some of the furnaces used were in the same state as before, a caution was given, and the time required was allowed to comply with the terms of the Act. Dense black smoke continued to issue from the tall chimney shaft, and on the 6th of October Mr. Sanderson paid a further visit to the premises, when he found that the required alterations had not been made. Mr. Sanderson deposed to the defective state in which he found some of the furnaces, and said that in one place, the plumbers' department, there was a stove in a room from which there was no shaft to carry away the smoke. Police-constable 408 P read, from the notes he had taken at the time, the dates and the length of time the dense black smoke had been seen to issue from the tall shaft or chimney. In his cross-examination by the defendant, the witness said that the dense black smoke frequently beat from the top of the shaft to the ground, and spread suffocating fumes over the whole neighbourhood. The defendant, in reply to the evidence, assured the magistrate that, regardless of expense, every thing had been done to remedy the evil complained of. He had heard quite enough to satisfy his own mind that until he adopted a certain patent, in which Mr. Sanderson was interested, or removed his manufactory altogether, he should be subjected to his present prosecution. Mr„ Sanderson denied that he had any interest whatever in any patent in use for the consumption of smoke. Tue defendant here called George Jacket, the keeper of Kennington-park, to prove that for the last five or six months he had not observed a greater quantity of smoke proceeding from the shaft of the factory than was usual before that time. When asked about the state of the smoke at the time men tioned by the officers, he was unable to give any information. Mr. Frazer, the foreman of the works, was also called, and spoke of some improvements being made with respect to some of the furnaces. He said that the fireplace complained of by Mr. Sanderson as having no shaft to carry away the smoke was one which was very seldom used, and that only for melting some lead. Mr. Elliott remarked that it appeared to him as if the provisions of the act were set at defiance, and the observations made by the defendant of a public and respectable officer were most improper, and perfectly unjustifiable. He convicted Mr. Budget in a penalty of £lO. WANDSWORTH.—Thomas Smith, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Dayman with attempting to commit suicide by cutting his throat. On Saturday night, Oct. 25, police-constable N . o. 248, V divisi on , was ca ll e d to a house in Christ church-grove, Tooting, where he found the prisoner lying on his back, with his throat cut, and insen sible. A surgeon, who dressed the wound, picked up a razor in the room, the blade of which was covered with blood. The prisoner afterwards told the constable that he had not done what he had in tended, as be could not get the razor to cut. He also said that he thought he would have another opportunity. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was drunk, and was not aware of what he had done. Mr. Dayman said the prisoner wonld be commit ted for trial. HAMMERSMITH.—Mary Ann Tilman, a young woman, who was described as a servant, living in Dean-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Dayman with attempting to drown herself in the Grand Junction Canal at Kensal-green. The prisoner was taken out of the water by po lice constable No. 172 D about one o'clock on Mon day morning and removed to the workhouse. She afterwards told the constable that it was her inten tion to destroy herself. The prisoner wore a veil over her face. On being asked whether she had anything to say she shook her head. Mr. Mayman expressed his intention of sending her for trial.

Sartoris's) of the Queen's (Westminster), and resulted in the defeat of the latter by 12 points. The weather was most unfavourable, there being a high wind blowing across the range, and this, with heavy showers of rain, most materially affected the shooting. The highest scores were made by Sergeant C. G. Godly, 16; and Sergeant M. P. Jackson and Private J. Sanson, each, for the Inland Revenue Company ; and Privates Bal lard and Criddle 12 points each for the Queen's.
