7HE NAVY. The Spithead fort question having been disposed of for the present year, the consideration of the official reports and plans now before the Admiralty for the extension of Portsmouth Dockyard and for the improvement of its harbour and channel of en trance will follow as a matter of course. The report presented to the Admiralty on the examination of the bar of the harbour channel during the past month by Messrs. Taylor and Davis, masters of the Royal Navy, is a most important document. Forty cross sections have been taken over the bar in a space of 700 yards, at 17 yards apart, and the same depth has been found that existed in May, 1861, the date of the previous survey. In the Fairway Channel there is a depth of 17ft. at low-water spring tides, of 27ft. at high-water neap tides, and of 30ft. at high-water spring tides. The repo r t al so s tates that there are no indications of travelling shingle, that the sides of the cut have not caved in, and that there are no symptoms to render it prudent to desist from dredging a still deeper channel. On the contrary, there is every encouragement to dredge at once for a depth of 20ft. at low water at spring tides, or 30ft. at high-water neaps. To effect this, the shingle forming the bar will have to be removed at an average depth of 2ft. 4in., which gives about 41,000 yards (cubic) for dredging, the estimated cost of which would be about £3,500. The Ord , nance authorities have intimated their readiness to receive the stuff dredged up for the purpose of levelling Southsea-common with it, and would in return bear a part of the dredging expenses, wh ich would thus render the cost of deepening the harbour channel a mere trifle. The report concludes by stating that, judging from past experience, the pro posed excavation would confine flood and ebb tides to the channel proper, and that the scour of the tide would maintain the depth of the excavation. The great difficulty in the execution of large works in Portsmouth harbour has hitherto been the bar which existed in the Channel off Southsea-beach, to which the present report refers. It will be seen, however, that this report of the survey which has taken place by order of the Admiralty effectually disposes of this difficulty, and the next important question is what accommodation can the harbour of Portsmouth afford for our future iron fleets P In the great scheme now before the Admiralty this question is, we un derstand, fully answered, and the capabilities of the place are developed on a grand yet economical scale. In the extension of Chatham yard 90 acres of addi tional basin space will be provided, and the work is now being carried on by convicts. The proposed extension of Portsmouth yard is on a much more extensive scale than at Chatham, and it is now worthy of consideration whether convict labour might not be largely employed in the extension of the former as in the latter yard in the event of the proposed scheme being adopted and carried into effect. It has of late years been a reproach to Eng land that she possessed no naval establishment com parable to Cherbourg, notwithstanding her posi tion as the first maritime Power of the world. If the Admiralty carry out this scheme in its integrity, it is asserted that this reproach will be removed. It has been decided by the authorities at the Horse Guards to erect at Portsmouth a soldiers' institute and gymnasium for the use of the troops. Major- General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the garrison and district, has recommended a site for their erection in the enclosed field on the south side of the milldam, on the rise near the fortifications, inland of the town of Portsmouth, This site will afford a tolerably large space for athletic and out door exercises, and will be within five minutes' walk of each barrack in the garrison. The Old Sol diers' Institute was held in a prison-looking build ing in one of the back streets of Portsmouth. Its object was to entice the soldiers from the haunts of drunkenness and crime. Cheap tea and coffee, the distribution of tracts, and the ministrations of Scripture readers have not, however, had the effect of attracting the men, and the institute has ceased to exist. We trust the new establishment will offer such inducements to the soldiers as shall ensure their ready attendance and its permanent success. Two battalions of Royal Marine Light Infantry, in command of Lieut.-Col. Marriott ; four batteries of Royal Horse Artillery, in command of Sir D. E. Wood, K.C.B. ; four batteries of the 15th Brigade Garrison Artillery, in command of Col. Francklyn, C.B, ; and two battalions of the depot, in command of Col. Kennedy, yesterday went through various field day movements at Woolwich. General Sir Richard ]acres, K.C.8., and the Garrison Staff were in attendance. The garrison orders issued in the evening announced that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, after having distributed the prizes to the successful candidates of the Royal Military Academy will review the troops on Woolwich-common, com mencing at 330 this day. There will be assembled for his Royal Highness's inspection and review four battalions of infantry and eight batteries of mounted artillery, armed with a force of 48 guns ; 20 rounds of blank ammunition will be distributed for each gun, and the manceuvres of a grand field-day will be performed in full detail. His Royal Highness will be accompanied to Woolwich by the Under- Secretary of State for War, the Earl de Grey and Ripen, and some other distinguished members of her Majesty's Government. The left wing of the 37th Regiment (four com panies) embarked on ..Nlonday at Plymouth on board the Megrera troopship, and she left in the evening for Portsmouth. The troops will proceed to Alder shot, where they will be joined by the right wing, to be conveyed from Plymouth to Portsmouth by the Megvera. The Megtera, screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, from Ply mouth, with a wing of the 37th Regiment on board. The troops disembarked at the dockyard and were forwarded by special train to Farnborough Station, on the London and South-Western Railway, whence they were marched into camp at Aldershot. The Adventure, screw troopship, Commander Lethbridge, at Portsmouth, is ordered to embark, for conveyance to Canada, 40 men from the depots of various regiments, and 328 women and 500 children, the families of soldiers belonging to the regiments last sent out. The hired East India transport Lauderdale, 850 tons, Capt. Bowers, which arrived at Gravesend from N . ar rachee with upwards of 300 non-commis sioned officers and men on hoard, after a passage of 110 days, landed her d etachments at Government ' quay, Gravese nd, on Monday. The troops, with the exception of those whose period s of service have expired, were forwarded to their respective depots. The Lauderdale embarked her troops at Rurrachee on the Ist of March last, and sailed the following day; she reached the Cape of Good Hope on th e 10th of April, and sailed thence on the 24th of the su e , \ month; she put in at St. Helena on the 10th M ay, and left the same day. The voyage was rather protracted, owing to the frequent calms encoun tered and the light winds which prevailed for a considerable portion of the voyage. The line was crossed for the first time on the 17th of March, and again 63 days afterwards. The number of troops brough33 t home amounts to 319 men of all ranks, with women and children, belong ing to the 7th Hussars, 3d European Light Cavalry, sth European Light Cavalry, Royal, Bombay, and Bengal Artillery, 4th (King's Own), 7th (Royal Fusilecrs),46th, 51st (King's Own Light Infantry), 79th (Highlanders), 81st, 89th, 92d (Highlanders), 93d (Highlanders), and 98th Regi ments, 109th Regiment (late 3d Bombay Regiment), and the 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade. The following officers returned in the ship :—Major S. M. Brown, 9 3d Highlanders; Capt. N. C. Chichester, 7th Dra goon Guards ; Lieut. F. Beauchamp, 7th Fusileers; Lieut. E. Everett, 79th Highlanders ; Lieut. C. D. Broadbent and Lieut. C. W. Robinson, Rifle Bri gade ; and Staff-Assist.-Surgeon T. S. Teevan. The total number of deaths on board during the passage was four soldiers and two women. After the troops had been medically inspected at Gravesend, the Artillery were forwarded to Woolwich, and the re mainder of the detachments to their respective de pots at Chatham, Walmer, Winchester, Fermoy, Stirling, and Aberdeen. At the date when the Lau derdale was at the Cape of Good Hope, the Dread nought had arrived from Calcutta with ft portion of the 75th Regt. on board, on its return to England. Alecto, Commander Itaby, Her Majesty's ship V.C., will be paid off this morning at Woolwich, and will be put out of commission for repairs. The Alecto was commissioned at Woolwich on the 27th Jan., 1860, and proceeded to the West Coast of Africa, where she was actively e , pployed for a period of 14 months. She afterwarc s proceeded to the South Coast, where she had the misfortune to break her intermediate shaft, in spite of which she was rendered so efficient as to continue the duties of the station for 10 months longer, and ultimately to tow H.M.S. Prometheus a distance of 650 miles on her way from Lagos to Ascension The Alecto has been remarkably healthy during her commis and she has lost neither boy nor man by disease or accident. She took two valuable prizes in slavers — namely, the Constantia, and another, name un known, by which the crew realised a considerable amount of prize money. The screw steam gunvessel Intrepid, 6, Comman der Marryat, at Plymouth, will be put out of com mission to-day and placed in the third division of the steam reserve. Her Majesty's ship Rapid, Commander Jago, yesterday left Woolwich, in charge of Master Com mander Hall, on a trial of her machinery, and sub sequently sailed for Portsmouth, on her way to the Cape station for service. The paddlewheel surveying vessel Porcupine, Master Commander Hoskyn, has left Plymouth for the West Coast of Ireland, where she will be em ployed taking soundings, on the application of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The screw steam gunvessel Cormorant, 4, Com mander Buckle, left Plymouth on Monday evening for China. Capt. the Hon. G. F. Hastings, C. 8., is to receive the good service pension vacant by the promotion of Capt. Kellett, C. 8., to be a Rear-Admiral. The following Commanders have been promoted to be Captains :—H. W. Hire, W. A. R. Pearse, J. H. Marryat, T. P. Coode, C. M. Aynsley, M. F. O'Reilly, E. Lacy, M. B. Dunn, J. Edye, Sir M. M'Gregor, and J. R. Veitch ; and the following Lieuts. to be Commanders : —H. Hawkes, T. E. Smith, T. H. B. Fellowes, R. H. Roe, G. Palmer, H. C.. Burleigh, R. Carter, W. N. Cornewall, H. L. A. L. Maitland, L. Baine, T. Barnardiston, and the Hon. G. Fitzclarence. M. it C. S. D. Lowe, Mr. Henry J. Wodehouse, and Mr. Octavins Greig have been nominated to naval cadetships. The following appointments and promotions have been made at the Admiralty :—Commander F. W. Sullivan to the Harrier, vice Sir M. M'Gregor, pro moted; Lieut. the Hon. J. B. Vivian to command the Procris, vice Palmer, promoted ; Lieut. R. 0. Leach to the Shannon ; Lieut. R. E. Tracy, Lieut.

Clark in the Cumberland, William Inglis (b) in the Mersey, and Thomas Sumners in the Melpomene, promoted to the rank of acting first-class assistant engineers ; G. E. M. Keeg and S. Chantler, in the Euryalus, confirmed as second-class assistant-engi neers. THE IN7ERNATION4L EXHIBITION. If Monday was fraught with some disappoint ment to the financiers of the Exhibition the returns of yesterday will fully compensate their feelings and their money-boxes, and raise their hopes to even a more daring flight of anticipation as to future prosperity than they have ever yet indulged in. An early as eleven o'clock the number who had entered the building was already near upon 15,000, and though Monday's experience had shown too conclusively that it was not always safe to build on the promise of this early return, each successive account that was taken showed that the prognostic was this time it reliable one, and that the day would prove one of if not the most successful since the opening. The one o'clock return gave out that 1,374 season ticket holders had entered, and 44,146 paying visitors, and at three o'clock the numbers stood thus—season tickets, 2,100 ; paid, 55,359. That the slight mitigation in the severity of the present summer season experienced within the last day or two has had a considerable influence in pro ducing this satisfactory result there can be little doubt, and therefore it is reasonable to hope that if the summer has yet a brighter and a better half in store, as the weatherwise mostly affirm, the affairs of the Cromwell-road establishment may prove quite as flourishing at the close of the account as there is any need to desire. One of the causes which tend to swell the daily returns is the presence of schools and other aggregate bodies, who enjoy the treat of a visit to the Exhibition through the benevolence of others. That investing a few pounds in the pur chase of shilling tickets to be thus distributed is an excellent piece of practical philanthropy is so mani fest to those who have watched the enjoyment and intelligent interest with which the recipients of the bounty are lit up, that it is almost superfluous to exhort all who have the means of so doing to follow an example which has already been set in so many quarters, including the highest in the realm. The announcement that from the Bth of July season tickets would be issued entitling to admis sion on all shilling days, at the price of 10s. each, has occasioned no little surprise, and it is anticipated that the season ticket-holders, some of whom are already discontented at the abolition of the five shilling day, will grumble still more at this further depreciation of the privilege they have purchased. There is, however, this to be said in favour of the measure, which is, that it addresses itself chiefly to the inhabitants of London, a great portion of whom have, it is very certain, un accountably held aloof from the Exhibition, and would probably have done so until quite the fag end of the season. The inducement of the ten , shilling season ticket will, in all probability, bring these within the fold of the commissioners at a much earlier period, and in a more advantageous manner to their treasury. Among the new appearances which from time to 1 time spring up to give a constant variety to the Exhibition even in the eyes of the most assiduous habitue, are some additions to the cases of Mr. Harry Emanuel in the shape of certain presents destined by Abdul Medjid, the late Sultan of Turkey, for one of the ladied of the harem. One of these is an oval mirror set in a most elaborate floral border, composed of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and pearls, combin e d with enamelled work. ' These precious stones, some of which are of considerable value, one d in a conspicuo u s position being worth £l,OOO, are 1 set in han ia t is ri gold, and the whole effect o f this most extr tv gant piece of furniture is not less graceful t eh and dazzling. A stereo scope of ivory beset with ()the large jewels, the com panion present, has no in r civilised than its costli ness, and is not l ikel y , any country, to find a purchaser. The presence of these two exam ples of Oriental splendour and extravagance attracted a more than usuall y l arge crowd round Mr. Emanuel's case, which was, in consequence , selected as an excelle nt field of o p era tions for a , brace of pickpockets, male and female, wh o m i ngled in the throng until they were recognised by t h e vigilant glance of a detective, as two of the most dexterous as well as the most aristocratic of their profession, forming part of quite the upper ten of swell mobdom. The incident need occasion no surprise, nor, indeed, need it excite any alarm. The only wonder is that it is not of more frequent occurrence, seeing what a rich harvest seems, in so large- a concourse, chiefly of provin cials and foreigners, to offer itself to the craft, and which they would certainly reap were it not for the übiquity and vigilance of the police. The following is the official return of the number of visitors yesterday :—By season tickets, 4,260 ; by payment, 61,311; total, 65,571. i ; IHE "' LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIN', JUNE 25, 1882.

Although nothing could be finer than the wea ther yesterday the public manifested quite as much shyness in paying their half-crowns for admission as on the day previously, when the entire receipts did not amount to £5O. Each day the majority of the visitors have been foreigners, who, it is to be presumed, contributed the greater portion of the money taken at the doors. The remainder must have consisted, therefore, chiefly of members of the society, implement exhibitors, and the holders of gratuitous admissions. We do not, however, see in this fact any cause for the despondency with which some of the officials appear to be animated as to the ultimate results, or reason to believe that the show must turn out a failure. Hitherto all that the public have had access to is the implement de partment, and, vast as is its magnitude, its main attraction undoubtedly consists of the yard where the agricultural machinery is in motion. Besides, the newest, best, and choicest inventions or improve ments have already found appropriate places in the eastern annexe of the Great Exhibition building, where they can be viewed on four days in the week, in conjunction with the many marvels collected in their neighbourhood, for the popular shilling. Who, then, but the agriculturist and the mechanical engi neer, is likely to pay half-a-crown for entrance to the implement stalls at Battersea Park, varied and use ful as their contents may be ? To-day the barrier will be removed which now separates the cattle from the implements, and the two yards will be thrown into one; but another Handel Festival day at Sydenham will again prove a magnet whose posi tive influence the expected presence at Battersea of the Prince of Wales, the Prince Napoleon, the Pacha of Egypt, and other distinguished person ages now sojounaing amongst us will be of scarcely sufficient power wholly to negative. The guineas will, therefore, we apprehend, flow into the society's exchequer but slowly ; and, after all, the proba bility is that the success of the meeting in a pecu niary point of view will have to depend upon the shillings of the masses, who on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next may be expected to flock in in large numbers. Should the exhibition turn out a failure the society will have to thank their own arrangements for it, which, conceived in the spirit of the steam boat and omnibus proprietors who ply for passengers to and from the International Ex hibition, treat the occasion of the holding the show in London as an exception to their ordinary annual gatherings in the provinces, and one on which a high and exclusive scale of admision is to rule for six days, and the low rate for three only. In an ticipation of a bumper attendance on the shilling days, it would be wise if measures were adopted to open at least two more entrances to the show on opposite sides of the park, seeing that at present the ingress is confined to one which, however convenient to the river, is not to the road, and people do not like to perform the circuit of two thirds of the inclosure before they reach the inte rior. On Monday when visiting the show we own we were astonished at the immense police force which had been assembled in the park, although there were not a hundred idlers to be seen in the neighbourhood. If F. M. the Chief Commissioner had had to provide against an irruption of all the rascality of London his preparation to meet the emergency could not have been more imposing. It struck us that such an overwhelming display was simply ridiculous, and others in authority appear to have formed a similar opinion, for yesterday, even if there was the same amount of force at hand, they were not massed" together in the same con spicuous manner, and the few police on duty had little or nothing to do, and of course found no diffi culty in helping each other to do it. ' Resuming our notice of the show of implements and machinery, particular attention may be directed to Clayton's brick and drain-pipe machines, which are at work in the engine yard amongst the ma chinery in motion. One of these, adapted for working by a 6-horse steam or water power, per ' forms at once the operation of crushing, pugging, and brick-making, and turns out equally well solid, verfui tubular. 133.i01ra anti pipoa, at the rate of 10,000 to 12,000 per working day of ten hours. Another machine of this description is constructed for working by hand, and is capable of producing from 5,000 to 7,000 bricks, tiles, or pipes per day. Both machines are in their way perfect triumphs of mechanical skill. In this department of the show. also Mr. Collin son Hall exhibits two patent sectional drums and steel rope for steam cultivation, to be used with locomotive engines of from 10 to 30 horse power. The object of the invention is to supersede the costly wire rope and round drums, with a simple, cheap, and durable substitute; and its utility, we understand, is to be tested at the trial of steam cultivators at Farningham to-morrow. The rope is formed of round steel rods, half an inch in diameter, and 18 inches long, and by means of 4-inch plates riveted one on each side at the end of then fact, rods th a e rope o obtained of any required length. I e consists of a mere multiple of rods r rp is and plates, which are then passed round a drum having a number of flat sides to correspond with them. There can be no question about the simpli city of the invention ; but its strength and dura bility, and consequent economy, are matters which Mr. Hall admits time must determine- A very useful kind of wrought-iron gate, the invention of Mr. Webb, of Smallwood Manor, Ut toseter, is shown by Mr. Bewley, who is its manu facturer. It consists of the orthodox number of bars, which are united to three uprights by means of rivets, on which they turn, A balance projects from the top bar, which being pressed by the hand the gate rises with the greatest ease. It fastens of itself on falling into its place, and it is obvious that it cannot be opened by horses or cattle. Such a gate must be invaluable at a level crossing, or for a field which opens on a railway. Considerable gloom was on Monday created amongst the persons superintending the working machinery in consequence of a man in the employ of Messrs. Crosskill having had his arm torn from his body whilst in the act of feeding a bone crushing machine. He was immediately conveyed to St. George's Hospital, but the injuries he has received are so serious that no hopes are enter tained of his recovery. The poor fellow has a wife and two young children dependent upon him for support. THE CASE OF MR. TVATSON TAYLOR, ANOTHER ,SIIOCKING MURDER , IN 11AMPSIIIRE. A murder, revolting in the extreme from the cold-bloodedness in which it was committed, and the brutal treatment received at the hands of the murderer by his victim, was perpetrated at Ford ingbridge, a small town in the county of Hants, twelve miles from the cathedral city of Salisbury, on Sunday morning last. The particulars are as follows :—Mary Ann Susan Hall, aged 28, was the only daughter of a Mr. Hall, of Midgham Farm, distant about a mile from Fordingbridge. The family are highly respectable, and rent a good-sized farm. It was Miss Hall's custom to walk to the church at Fordingbridge every Sunday morning for the purpose of attending Divine service; and on Sunday morning last Ellen Smith, the dairy woman, saw her leave her father's house about ten o'clock, and strike into the footpath through the fields that led to Fordingbridge. Nothing more was heard of her until four o'clock in the evening, when" a man named George Jacob Gilbert, alias Philpott, informed the police-constable at the town that, as he was crossing a field called Harding's field, he picked up a lady's parasol, and on pro ceeding a little further he saw the body of a woman lying on her back in a gully or ditch that separated Mr. Hall's farm from Harding's field. The con stable, a surgeon, and several people at once went to the spot, accompanied by Gilbert, which is situated about half a mile from the town, where they discovered the body of Miss Hall lying against the side of the ditch, quite dead, the hands out-stretched and clenched, the clothes fearfully torn, and covered with the mud and filth of the ditch, through which evi dently she had been dragged. On her breast was her•church-service and in her hand her hymn-book. The body of the unfortunate young lady was re moved to her father's house, the windows of which were visible from the place where the fearful deed was committed, the man Gilbert assisting at the removal. From information received by the po- lice constable he was induced to arrest this Gilbert on the charge of having committed the murder, and from what transpired at the inquest held on Mon day, and from circumstances that have come to the knowledge of the police, but which, of course, were not made known at the merely preliminary pro ceedings of Monday, there seems every probability of their connecting him in some way with the com mittal of the deed. Gilbert is a native of Ford ingbridge, but bears a very bad character, having been transported on one occasion for rape, besides being committed on innumerable occasions for minor offences. He :is now on a ticket of leave, and has resided in Fordingbridge for the last 12 months, working as a labourer, although recently he has been unemployed. He is unmarried, aged about 35, and resides with his sister in a small cot tage about 500 yards from the spot where the body was found. His statement is that he did not go out on Sunday until three o'clock, the time at which he discovered the body, but a shepherd named Garland asserts that he saw him at a quar ter past eleven o'clock on the Sunday morning in a field about 500 or 600 yards on the Fordingbridge side of the ditch, where the body lay, wiping his boots and trousers with grass. On the spot being examined by the police there were traces found of such an occurrence having taken place. His clothes, also, on being examined were found to have been recently washed, and his stockings were hanging out to dry in his cottage garden. It would seem that the murderer met his victim as she was walking to church, at the stile that separated her father's from Harding's field,and there attacked her evidently with a view of criminally assaulting her, as there seems to' have been no attempt at robbery. Here th ere are evident traces of a struggle having taken place, and of the mastery being gained by the murderer, who, it would seem, dragged the unfortunate girl about 15 yards up the gully or ditch (which is completely covered in by the furze bushes on either side) that separates the two fields above mentioned, and where they would be screned from the observation of stray passers-by. Here it was that the second struggle took place, the girl having been evidently placed against the side of the ditch, with the lower part of her body trailing in the mud and filth, whilst the brute attempted to carry out his object. This he would appear to have failed in, according to the medical evidence. From this spot, then, he dragged his victim by the legs for the distance of 140 yards, through the water, filth, and weeds of the ditch, screened from all human observation by the over hanging bushes, finally placing the now lifeless body in the place and position in which it was found. From the medical evidence at the inquest, it appears that the deceased was alive when her inhuman murderer immersed her in the poisonous water of the ditch, for some of it was found in her stomach. Her inside clothes were torn to rags, and the weeds and mud had even penetrated under her stays. DIVISION 11. Class 31. Mastiffs—Silver cup, value £5, and £5, Edgar Hanbury, Highworth, Wilts.

We understand the awards of the judges are con sidered on the whole very satisfactory ; but as is usual in such cases some exhibitots seem to think that their particular favourites have been over looked. _ The Duke of Beaufort's peek of fox hounds attracts general admiration. We observe that a silver cup, value £lO 10s., has been awarded to his grace's huntsman for the exzellent condition of the pack. Two remarkably fine deer hounds are shown, the property of the Right Hon. the Earl of Winchileea. These dogs are peculiar to Eastwell-park, and are used for pulling down the deer. They were highly commended by the judges. We are informed that a great many of the dogs were sold yesterday at the prices affixed to their numbers in the catalogue, many of the purchasers being foreigners. The prize cups are handsome pieces of plate, manufactured by Elkington and Co. The number of visitors to the exhibition yester day was from 8,000 to 10,000. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 24.—The yarn market is again advancing, and there is a good deal of busi ness for nearly all markets, though for some it has been more or less checked by the considerable ad vance spinners have demanded. Purchases have been made for India, Germany, the Mediterranean, and home trades, and prices are fully id. to Id. per lb. higher than they were on Friday last. Both spinners and manufacturers are a good deal alarmed at what is taking place in the Liverpool cotton mar ket, and the diminishing stock of the raw material. There is still an impression that affairs may take such a turn in America as to seriously affect prices here immediately, if not permanently, and the high rates to which everything is being forced by the speculative spirit now so rife are regarded with anything but confidence. Manufacturers have been asking a considerable advance for cloths to-day, and though this checks operations, a moderate business has been done at something under extreme prices. The demand has extended to a variety of fabrics, in cluding long-cloths,T-cloths,shirtings,madapollams, and jacconets, for all of which higher rates have been given than on Friday, though the irregularity is considerable, and quotations would only mis lead. Many manufacturers, having very much lightened their stocks by recent sales, appear dis posed to hold aloof where full rates are not offered, and others are indisposed to seek for business. The prico of cloth still lags much behind its value, ac cording t o th e ra t e at w hi c h co t ton i s se lli ng , an d those who can a ff or d are h o ldi ng b ac k i n th e ex pectation of r ea pi ng a d van t age b y wa iti ng till c loths are rathe r scarcer.

SIR,—In reference to the claims of the owners of the Orwell and of Mr. Watson Taylor, it appeared to me that one element necessary for the formation of a correct judgment was wanting—the opinion of General Garibaldi. I therefore, on public grounds, put myself in communication with him, without laying before him any statement of facts, which, indeed, he must know better than most of the gentlemen who have interested themselves in the discussion, and I now, with his permission, lay before you the brief ex pression of the great captain's view of the rights of the case. It is plain and honest, like the writer of it, and perfectly consistent with the manly tone taken by Lord Palmerston in the debate.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. H. ASHURST. 6, Old Jewry, June 24. " Caro Ashurst,—ln answer to your suggesti on, I wish to express my conviction that the owner s of the Orwell ought to be paid just compensation b y the Italian Government for the use and damage sustained by that vessel. She rendered good ser vice in the cause of the King of Italy, and I cannot think that, having accepted the benefit, he will deny the practical recognition of the service rendered. "Also the injury sustained by Mr. Watson Taylor's property at Monte Christo ought to be made good to him, so far as his property was con verted, as in the case of his cattle, to the use of the Italian cause. " This is my opinion, quote it where you please. " G. GARIBALDI. " Belgirate, 12 Giugno." PROVISION FOR DESTITUTE BOYS. The first public meeting in aid of the Boys Home and Industrial Training Schools for boys not convicted of crime, 44 and 46, Euston-road, St. Pancras, was held yesterday afternoon at Willis's Rooms, St. James's. The Bishop of London occu pied the chair, and was supported by the Marquis of Westminster, Sir H. Hoare, Mr. T. Hughes, and other gentlemen warmly interested in the prosperity of the institution. The Rev. Mr. ANDREWS, chaplain to the Home, having offered up a brief prefatory prayer. Mr. A. SANDERS (secretary) read the report of the committee, which stated that the institution had been at work for four years : that the first Home, No. 44, Euston-road, was opened in February, 1858, the adjoining house being added in the fol lowing year, and a third Home, at Church Farm, East Barnet, having since been established, the whole giving accommodation to about 60 boys. The aim of the institution is preventitive rather than curative, and it is the object of the committee to give the boys a moral, religious, and industrial training, so that they may become steady indus trious working men ; nearly all the boys sent out from the institution aro doing well, and bear good characters. During the pastjfour years 144 boys have been admitted, 53 of whom have been placed out in various situations. Of the 64 now in the Home, 8 aro total orphans, 36 have lost one parent, 20 are believed to have both parents living, but the fathers of many of them are disabled from earning their livelihood—one is blind, one is lunatic, and two are invalids from chronic rheumatism. To a small extent, the labour of the boys helps to sup port them; but to render them entirely self supporting the numbers and machinery of the establishment must be very much increased, since only a portion of each day is taken up with re• munerative work. The committee, therefore, in conclusion, earnestly appealed for public sympathy and support. The cash account for the past year, as circulated at the meeting, exhibited a total income—including a balance left over from the preceding year of £2BO 15s. 6d.—of £3,121 Bs. 5d., and a total expenditure of £2,930 65., leaving a balance towards the ex penses of the current year of £l9l 2s. sd. The Rev. Dr. IRoNs (in the absence of Earl de Grey) moved the first resolution, which asserted that no better means could be devised for the pre vention of crime than the rescue of destitute child ren not yet convicted. The rev. gentleman spoke at considerable length in support of this resolution, asserting that the establishment of such homes was a great missionary effort to rescue from crime and bring into the bosom of the church those outlying classes, more especially among the male sex, which the church could not reach in the ordinary course of its ministrations. Sir H. HOARE, in seconding the motion, contended that it was better to prevent crime by establishing educational establishments than to be compelled to have recourse to more expensive curative attempts after its commission. The motion having been adopted, Mr. T. HUGHES moved the second resolution, which asserted that the metropolis might be bene fited by the working of such institutions generally, and that the Boys' Home in particular fulfilled every condition hich rendered it worthy of suppor.t. H . explained the mode o f management a d op ted 111 the institution, with the view of showing that it was founded upon the true domestic principles of a real home, master, mistress, and boys all living together as one family, while everything was done that was within the power of man to give to the boys a moral and religious development. Upon the point of management he remarked that the expense did not reach £l2 per head, an instance of economy almost unprecedent in the history of similar establishments. In conclusion the speaker earnestly insisted upon the necessity of continuing the movement, or of othei - wise meeting the existing evil, until every destitute boy in England should be provided with that home to which he had an undoubted claim. The Bishop of LONDON said it was important to remember that the institution was not a reformatory one. It was intended for boys who were uncon victed of crime, and who had as good a character as he (the bishop) as any of those in the meeting ; and they should consider those boys in the same light, in this respect, as they would their own children, or any of those with whom they were acquainted. (Hear, hear.) It was stated in the printed report that some of those who had been admitted into the Home had formerly led a vagrant and disorderly life. Well, if they were vagrant, what did that mean except that they had no visible means of ex istence ; and if disorderly was added, why, what would become of boys in any station of life, if they had no friends at home to look after them ? He saw also from the repo r t - that many of the boys, after leaving the Home, had entered the army and navy_ These boys had now before them those two glorious professions, which opened up to them as great a career as had ever been open to English men. (Applause.) They should be taught that the same road was before them as was before every free-born Englishman ; that there was the same prospect of a useful and honourable life as there was for those who might be born in any of the great mansions of. St. James's-square, and educated at any of our great public establishments. (Hear, hear.) It might be said that these boys, being destitute, might have gone to the union ; but he honoured them for not having done so. They did not like to go into the union, and it was quite right in them ; and it was quite right in the supporters of the Home to hold out to them a helping hand, and to enable them to adopt a manly career and assert their own independence. Some reference was made to Whittington in the report ; if Whittington had lived ' in these days he would likely have been taken up and sent either to the workhouse or to a refor- matory. But they knew what had happened to Whittington, and there was no reason why any of these boys around the chair should not prosper as much as Whittington had done. He (the Bishop o London) knew of the case of a boy whose parents received parochial relief. This boy, however, exerted himself in life. By the time he was forty he made a fortune, and he then paid back to the parochial authorities all the money that his parents had re ceived from them. (Hear, hear.) This was an example such as should be set before these boys, so as to teach them to lead honest, manly, and useful lives. (Applause.) Mr. BELL, a member of the committee, on second ing the motion previously moved by Mr. Hughes (the right rev. chairman having interposed) re marked that the object of the institution was to provide for disorderly boys, who were disorderly but not entirely destitute, as well as for those who, being destitute, might or might not be disorderly —a portion of the cost of maintenance being de frayed by the parent or parents of those who were so received at the Home. _ _ The motion was then unanimously adopted, as was also a vote of thanks to the right rev. chairman; proposed by Mr. A. Hill. The Bishop of LONDON then pronounced a bene diction, and the boys (or a considerable portion of them) belonging to the Home sang—and sang well —a selection of songs, &c., commencing with Dib din's soul-stirring " Hearts of Oak," and ending with "God Save the Queen," while the meeting dispersed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—June 24. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.) The grand jury, on coming into court to present some bills, called attention to the good conduct generally of the police in the cases submitted for their consideration, and Made especial mention of constables Gleason, 247 B ; Birch, 25 B ; Collis, 236 B; and Sergeant Evans, detective, 22 G. The trial of Robert Harrison, gold lace maker, of Wynyatt-street, Clerkenwell, charged with stealing and receiving a large quantity of watches, &c., was postponed until next session. Wm. Harris, 42, described as a miner, was in dicted for stealing the sum of £17 . 105., the moneys of Robert Cook. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. The prosecutor stated that ho was an engineer and was serving in the Garibaldi steamer, trading to Cadiz. He came to England in the Wiltshire, having embarked on the 7th inst. at Cadiz. Just before going on board the prisoner, who was there in a wine shop, said openly, " If I lose this boat I shall have to throw myself on the English consul's hands ; if I do not I shall not get away at all. I've no money." Prosecutor had with him £l7 10s. in gold, six Spanish five-dollar pieces,and other money, in a portemonnaie. On getting into the boat with the prisoner to go off to the ship—there were three rowers and four passengers—he fell asleep, and, on reaching the ship, was put in a berth. Next morn ing the prisoner to the captain, and said he wished to give him his money, £l4 10s. The prosecutor then said he had lost his money, and the prisoner said he should have done as he had done—given it into the care of the captain on the previous night. Prosecutor said, " Begging your pardon, you gave up yours this morning, if it was yours." The prisoner was given in charge when the ship arrived at St. Katharine's-dock. Some foreign money lost by the prosecutor was found on the prisoner. Other evidence having been given, his Lordship summed up, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner solemnly protested his innocence, and that by telegraphing to Spain it could be proved that the money was his own. The learned Judge said that full inquiry would be made, to afford time for which the sentence would be deferred until next session. John Collier, 26, painter, was indicted for steal ing a watch and other articles, value £65, the pro perty of Benjamin Haseldine, in his dwellingbouse. The prisoner was in the employment of a builder and decorator, and being employed at the prosecu tor's house he took an opportunity of stealing the property in question from some drawers in an up stairs room. He was found guilty, and sentenced to 18 months hard labour, William Burr, 22, Patrick Donoghue, 21, Henry Scott,lB,and Bartholomew Connolly, 21, labourers, were indicted for unlawfully assaulting Joseph Baeekelande. The prosecutor lived in Gower-place, Euston road, and was returning home on the night of the 17th of June, when he was attacked by a gang of ruffians, of whom the prisoners formed part. They demanded his money, pelted him with stones and bricks, and did him such injury that he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. The prosecutor took out a knife to defend himself. Scott and Connolly pleaded guilty ; the others were found guilty, and the police said they were all known as the regular associates of street thieves and the worst of charac ters. They were severally sentenced to six months' hard labour. Richard Stapleton, 33, railway porter, was con victed on Monday of stealing a quantity of sherry from bulk, the property of the Great Northern Railway Company, his employers, at King's-cross. Mr. Coop er prosecuted ; Mr. Giffard defended • The prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard labour. rn e de o ; r e, g hf era from ni, valuehis person. 50 s . guard-chain, Mead, 29, was indicted for stealing a , the property of Frederick Mr. Platt prosecuted ; Mr. Besley defended. The prose cu t or was a t Highbury Bar n on Whit Monday, and was watching the ascent of a woman on the tight-rope. The prisoner covered his hands with the sleeves of an Inverness cape he was wear ing, took the chain in an instant, and passed it to a confederate. The prosecutor fortunately had left his watch at home, but was wearing the guard. The prisoner was found guilty, and remanded for judgment, as the officers of the prison said he was known. (Before Mr. Payne.) John Gleesol, 28, shoemaker, was indicted for stealing two coats, value 505., the property of William Poppy. The prosecutor, a tailor, on the morning of the Gth inst. went into a publichouse in Wardour-street and put down a parcel containing two soldiers' coats, and i n a minute he missed them. A woman who was in the house at the time saw the prisoner take up the parcel and leave the place with it. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the prisoner re-entered the public house, and the woman pointed him out as the man who had stolen the coats, and he was given into custody. On searching him 32 buttons, identified as having been on the coats, were found in his pos session. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to hard labour for 12 months. Mr. Lewis prosecuted; Mr. Palmer defended the prisoner. John Middleton, 27, blacksmitb, was indicted for stealing a watch, value £5, the property of Herbert Chard, from his person. Mr. Beckham prosecuted ; Mr. Cooper defended. The prosecutor on the night of the 7th inst., soon after 10 o'clock, was at the corner of Earl-street, Edgeware-road, when the prisoner came up and pushed against him, he having a handkerchief in his hand. Immediately afterwards he heard the clasp of his watch snap, and on putting his hand to his left waistcoat pocket he found his watch was gone. He held the prisoner until a policeman came and gave him in charge. The watch was not found. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and Mr. Payne sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for 18 months. Henry Johnson, 21, was indicted for stealing 801 b. of lead, value 18s., the property of Henry Sich, and fixed to his dwelling-house. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Dickie defended. It appeared from the evidence that on the 30th of May, at half-past 7in the morning, Police-ser geant Rogers, T 13, was on duty at Turnham-green, ' and he saw the prisoner come out of Chiswick fields. He followed him, and saw him come from a hedge near to Mr. Sich's house. On looking over the hedge he saw four pieces of lead (produced) weighing 801 b. The same evening the prisoner went to a marine-store dealer's shop, kept by a man named Philip Taylor, and inquired if he purchased lead, to which he replied in the affirmative. The prisoner said he would bring some the next morn ing, and the marine-store dealer heard some one knock at the door, but he did not get up to see who it was. It was proved that on the 29th May some lead was taken from the kitchen roof of Mr. Sich's house, and on comparing the pieces of lead pro duced with the place on the roof from which the lead had been taken, they were found to fit exactly. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody at Creek-wharf, where he was at work, he denying that he had been to Chiswick at all, and that any one had seen him there. Mr. Dickie addressed the jury in an able speech for the prisoner. Thejury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The bail cases are appointed for Friday.
