COURI OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Common Jury.) CROXON V. MOSS. This is an action of trover to recover £4,000, trust money vested in debenture mortgages, on the stock of the North Eastern Railway Company, in 1857, and transferred to the North Western Railway Company. The point in conten tion is whether the trust money can be traced and reco vered. The .defendant contends that the debenture bonds were negotiable instruments, and as such duly negotiated at his bank, and therefore plaintiff is not entitled to recover. The Solicitor-General (Sir It. Keating) appears for the plaintiff; Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., represents the de fendant. The plaintiff called witnesses to prove the negotiation of the debenture at the bank of the defendant, Moss and Com pany. The bond was duo the day previous to its being dis counted. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., then addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that the debenture was duly negotiated, and that the plaintiff had no claim whatever against the defendant. The Lord Chief Baron—The liability is a question of law ; that must be left to the Court. Witnesses were called to prove that Davis had no direc tion or authority to receive the money, but as it was pay able in London they advanced the money. Mr. Moss was present. Telegraph notice was given. There is no differ ence between a Liverpool Bank and any other. The Lord Chief Baron said it appeared to him that Davis had no authority to receive the money. It was not payable to the bearer, and ho had no right to do with it as he pleased. His lordship directed the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the question of law reserved for the Court. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £3,376.

Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Cooper appeared for the prosecution; Sergeant Ballantino and Mr. Robinson defended the pri soner. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. It will be recollected that the prisoner was formerly chaplain at the Wandsworth House of Correction, and his wife kept a seminary for young ladies at Wandsworth, and the two children were sent there t. be educated. Very shortly after the little girls arrived they stated that Mr. Hatch commenced a series of indecent assaults, which con tinued for some time, until at last it came to the knowledge of the parents of the children, whom they immediately re moved, and ,the present proceedings were instituted. The eldest girl was then sworn. She appeared in a very nervous state, and was crying nearly all the time under examination. She said—My name is Mary Eugenia Plum mer. The witness, in answer to questions, then proceeded to describe prisoner's conduct, consisting of exposure and forcing her to place her hand on his person, and stated that it was repeated on other subsequent occasions, at one time coming to her bed, and at another taking her into hie bed. She remembered there being a party. The party were in ono room and he was in his bedroom. She was passing through his room to go down stairs, and he said he would tell her a story. She sat on his knee. He again behaved indecently. Lucy was on the other knee. He did so to her as well. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l had been at a boarding school before I went to Mr. Hatch's.. It was at Miss Gray's, at Bath. I was taken away because the air did not suit my health. There were six or seven other children. I only remained six weeks. I returned home, and remained there till July. I had been to another school at Bath, and I remained two years. This school was at the top of the hill, the other was at the bottom. I don't know if any complaint was made of me ; I never heard that there was. Lucy Agusta Plummer, aged eight years, said—l recol lect going to Mr. Hatch's. I slept in the next room to his. My sister slept in the next room to mine. I recollect Mr. Hatch coming to my bed in his night shirt. The child then gave the same account of the proceedings as her eldest sister. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ASSAULT ON THE BRIGHTON AND SOUTII•COAST RAILWAY. Mr. Jacob French, who was yesterday found guilty of a common assault on Miss Astell, was this morning called upon to surrender to his bail and come up for sentence. The Recorder, after making a_few remarks upon the evi dence, sentenced him to one month's imprisonment. 71118 DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

APPROPRIATING A SUPPOSED STOLEN CHEQUE. — Alfred Daly, of 20, Holywell-lane, pianoforte maker, was charged by Lambert, 68 E, with unlawfully appropriating to his own use a cheque for £lO on the London and County, Bank, Oxford-street branch, and thereby obtaining the sum of £lO froin the person charging. Thomas Harper, of 1, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, manager at Messrs. Townsend, pianoforte makers, 20, Ox ford-street, said he knew the prisoner by his having worked with him. About three weeks ago, while he was at work, the prisoner came in and asked if he could get the cheque cashed for him, producing it at the same time. lie told him to wait, and he would try to do so, and ho then went to Mr. Spooner, of the British Stores, 77, Wells-street, Ox ford-street, got the money, and gave it to the prisoner. He saw no more of the prisoner till the previous night, when he told him that he wanted to see him, and the pri soner replied that he also wanted to see him. He then told the prisoner he was about to give him in charge for the cheque, when he , replied, "It is a bad job ; is it too late ?" and I said it was. Ho said when he asked for the money that ho had worked for the cheque. Lambert, 68 E, a very active officer, said be suspected the cheque was stolen from a person of the name of " Riggs." The cheque was crossed " City Bank," and was signed by a person named " Garrett." On taking the prisoner into custody, and telling him the charge, he said, "It's a bad job, and can't be helped." On asking whet e he got it, he said, " He didn't know that he had received money, but was drunk at the time, and did not know whether it was then given to him." Remanded. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—An unreformed woman, Lucy Jane Edgar, described as a prostitute, of No. 16 Oxford-street, Stepney, aged 25, was brought before Mr. Selfo, charged with stealing £l5, the moneys of Mr. Joseph Willis., a gentleman residing at 37, Beaumont-square, Mile-end-road. The case was a peculiar ono. Upwards of three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Willis, who are very respectable and philanthropic persons, were in want of a servant, and were recommended by a friend to engage the prisoner, who was represented to have been a fallen woman, and to have been reformed in an asylum for penitent females in Pentonville. Mr. Willis, from charitable motives, determined to give her a trial, because she was homeless and destitute. She conducted herself with great propriety in the house o Mr. and Mrs. Willis for two and a-half years, and her master and mistress placed great confidence in her. On Easter Sunday last Mr. and Mrs. Willis wont to chapel as usual, leaving the prisoner in charge of the house. In their absence Mr. Cole, a young gentleman lodging in the house, returned home, and found the front gate and street door open. Upon entering the house no me was to be seen, and Mr. Willis was immediately sea for, who, upon his arrival at his residence, was astonished when he discovered tkat a drawer containing his keys had been forcibly broken open and his keys removed. llis cash-box, containing £72, had been opened, and 15 sovereigns abstracted. The prisoner was missing, and was not seen again for mural weeks, when Mr. Willis met her in the Whitechapol-road. She ran away directly she saw him. This was repeated several times, and Mr. Willis, having ascertained that she was in the habit of regularly frequenting the Whitechapel and Mile end-road, took with him a police-constable named Abraham Cooper, 27 H. They met the prisoner last night, and Cooper immediately seized her and took her into custody. He said to her, " You know what I want you for ?" to which she replied, "I can guess." The prisoner said she would plead guilty to stealing/10, but as to the other a she knew nothing at all about. Mr. Willis said he was quite sure £l5 was taken out of his cash-box. Mr. Selfe—Has she ever been convicted before ? Mr. Willis—l am not aware she has ever been convicted. I know she has been in an asylum for fallen women. Mr. Selfe said he would, on the plea of guilty, dispose of the case himself, because there were two things in the pri soner's favour. For two years and a half she had resisted temptation, and she had some compunctions for she left £5 in the cash-box. He convicted the prisoner of larceny, and sentenced her to six mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. SPORTING NOTES. STEEPLE •CHASING AT CROYDON. Jack Frost seems about to mar a pleasant day's sport at Croydon. Should he renew his visit to-night he will ren der the ground so hard that the practicability of holding the meeting will become a serious question. Jolly and hearty as he is, however, it is to be hoped that he will de lay his presence until after the " little out" which has been arranged for metropolitan turfites and pleasure folk for to-morrow. I have already referred to the attractiveness of the pro gramme prepared by Mr. Hibburd, and stated the moans which have been employed to bring the sport to a success ful termin%tion. My latest advices fully warrant the terms of eulogium which I have employed For the ac commcdation of the visitors Barnard's commodious stand will be erected on a suitable site ; and, so far as the officials are concerned, nothing will be wanting to increase the comfort and amusement of the spectators. The list con tains four items, two of which close this evening. On the Grand Open very little betting has taken place, and until the numbers are displayed on the telegraph it is improbable that any extensive operations will bo made by backers of horses—whose experience has taught them to deal cau tiously with jumping events. The Curate may be a little more fortunate than he was at 'Warwick, and may win the Grand Open, but Goldsmith won last week with such ri diculous ease that lam scarcely inclined to desert him. I am half inclined to couple The Curate with him to represent my interest, but so much uncertainty seems to exist respect ing Mr. Barling's intentions with regard to his horse, that I shall give the preference to Topsy, who is leniently han dicapped enough. One of Green's—either The Physician or Friar of Aps hall—may carry off the Croydon Plate. A FRESH MAN. 'RACING FIXTURES FOR 18G0. FEBR . Lincoln Spring 15 LTA RY. Nottingham Spring ....21 :cu.

THE PAPAL 'STATES. A very little study of history shows by what dis honest means those States were brought under the Papal rule which, we are now profanely told, it is a religious duty to preserve in their integrity. The pretended donation by the Emperor Constantine of the city of Rome and the country surrounding it to the Holy See was doubted when it was first alleged, and persons were punished with death in Rome for expressing their suspicions; but modern researches have caused the falsity of the deed to be acknow ledged, even by such writers as Bossuet. Pope Zaccariah possessed himself of the chief cities of the Exarchate, thereby defrauding the Emperor of the East, the Sovereign to whom. he owed allegiance. Pope John VIII. presented to Louis 11. a forged act of donation of the rich Abbey of St. Dionysius, which he pretended had been executed in favour of the Court of Rome by Charles the Bold; and Fleury tells us that Innocent 11. sent a letter, to King Pepin of France, asking troops to aid the Holy See, which letter, he averred, had fallen from heaven, and was in the handwriting of St. Peter. The crimes of Cesar Borgia, in later times, added largely to the Papal territories. Bo logna was only united to them by the Treaty of Vienna, in 1815, the Pope having only been before suzerain of that city, which always sent an ambas sador to Rome in proof of its independent govern ment. Various places that once belonged to the Court of Rome have passed into other hands, without any apparent scruple on the part of the Popes by whom they were given up. Pius VII. signed at Tolentino the treaty which gave the Romagna to the first Napoleon, and apparently bore him no ill will, for in his letter of the 4th of June, 1803, he addresses him as " a second God." If property once belonging to the church cannot be alienated, then Avignon is still a town of the Holy See ; also the left bank of the Po, and Tuscany itself, formed part of the famous donation of the Countess Matilda. The pretensions of the supreme Pontiffs have gone on increasing with time. The elections of the early Popes required the sanction of the Emperor of the East to make them valid ; these first Popes knelt before the Emperors of the East, so did Stephen 111., Adrian, and Lco HI. to Pepin and Charlemagne; but the indolence and supersti tion of reigning monarchs lent themselves to the encroachments of priestly pride, till we find Boni face 111. proclaiming that the one Notiii and the one ark symbolised the one supreme power over all things lodged in the Pope. The disjointed States which contain the reluctant populations ever rebelling against ecclesiastical rule, who but wait an opportunity to throw off that yoke, may be compressed by force for a longer or a shorter time; but the handwriting is on the wall, and a Government which for ages has had the moulding and tempering of one of the finest races on earth now rules them only tecause its decrees are enforced by foreign armies. M. Rayneval, the last defender of the Roman Court, tells us " that reforms are impos sible, they would un d erm i ne t h e G overnment ;" and it is true. Good government cannot exist under a caste whose education and training place them. apart from other men, and who are wholly ignorant of the duties of the offices. they are called to fill. Some of the wisest among ecclesiastics have foreseen that the unstable temporal throne of the Popes was near its extinction. It is believed that Gonsalvi would have secularised the Papal rule ; and Chateaubriand tells us that Cardinal Bernetti thought he might almost live to see the end of the temporal sway of Rome. In a letter from Cardinal Massitno to Marini, the gover nor of Rome in 1843, the original of which is now to be seen in the hands of the Dictator of Bologna, we find these words—he is speaking of Ravenna, where he was legate : Excepting old men, women, and children, and a very few terrified legitimists, the whole population from the age of 18 upwards are without exception hostile to the government." The answer of Cardinal Marini advises as the only remedy for this condition of things increased vigi lance on the part of the police, and an addition to their numbers. How such a state of feeling has been produced is easily told ; the difficulty is for Englishmen, living in a country where law is para mount to the will of the highest in the land, to realise that what we tell can indeed be true. Military commissions for the speedy trial, or rather condemnation, of political delinquents or sus pected delinquents, have sent hundreds of men to exile, imprisonment, and some to death, without re gard to the ordinary forms of law ; the processes got up in such haste that at the special commission over which Cardinal Rivaroli presided in 1825 a dead man was condemned, and the very names of some of the accused mistaken ; or other similar commis sions followed, which are well described by Massimo d'Azeglio in the " Casi di Romagna ;" these commis sions are called" economical" (in via economica): In 1836 the Pontifical Government wished to get rid of its political prisoners, and an offer was made to send them to Brazil, which was accepted by only 114 of the nnmber. These persons were shipped for Bahia, and after a voyage of 73 days were dis embarked there without money or resources. Men have been condemned to 20 years' imprisonment by a simple decree, conveyed by the police, without trial—without even knowing why. Persons iweused are kept three, four, and five years in prison before they are tried. There are thousands of men in the States of the Church who are under the surveillance of the police; these are called precettati, or controllati. They must never be out of their houses after dusk, not eat at a tavern, and are liable to be visited by the police at any hour of the day or night, and are exposed to a thousand annoyances. The administration of civil law is on a par with the criminal. The Inquisition, too, plays its part in the drama of evil. It takes cognizance of all real or pretended heresies. In a notification issued by Cardinal Giacomo GiuStiniani, Bishop of Imola, dated June 3, 1828, there is the following : " Every one is bound within the space of 30 days to in form against those who have been guilty of blasphemy, or of heretical propositions or words. Consequently those who, obeying the laws of the church, shall comply with the ob ligation imposed by these presents, shall obtain indulgence for ten years for every time they inform against a bias. ph emer. , " We prefer to prevent evil rather than to punish tho guilty, but we declare that we shall proceed against such crimes with all the rigour prescribed by the synodal consti tution on the simple testimony of one credible witness. "The penalties established against blasphemers are—for the first offence, condemnation to a fine of 25 gold crowns ; for the second, 50 ; for the third, 100, and besides the crimi nal to be punished as infamous. If the delinquent be a poor man, one of the people (povero plebso), he shall, for the first offence, be compelled to appear as a penitent at the door of the church for the space of a whole day; and in case of a repetition of the offence he shall be whipped ; and for a third relapse he shall have his tongue pierced, and be sent to the galleys. "Informers shall receive, besides ten years' indulgence, one-third of the above-mentioned pecuniary fine." , The Holy O ff ice, as of old, selects the Jews as peculiar objects of persecution. It cannot now burn them, as in the paling days of the Spanish Inquisi tion, but that the spirit remains the same may be seen from the following edict of no earlier date than 1843: ' All the Israelites residing in Ancona and Sinigaglia may no longer give ftod to Christians, nor receive Chris tians into their service, under pain of being punished ac cording to the Pontifical decrees. " All the Israelites must sell, within the space of three months, their moveables and other property, otherwise their effects will be sold by auction. "No Israelite may sleep out of the Ghetto; no Israelite may have friendly relations with Christians. "The Israelites may not deal in holy ornaments, nor ia books of any kind, under a fine of 100 scudi and seven years' imprisonment. " The Israelites in burying their dead must not perform any ceremony; they must not use lights under pain of confiscation. "Whoever shall violate the above edicts will incur the pains of the Holy Inquisition. "The present measure shall be communicated to the Ghetto, that it may be published in Synagogue. "Inquisitor-General SALUA." There need no comments on words like these. Let it be remembered that all is secret iu the Inquisition, the witnesses are sworn to secrecy, no man knows his accuser, and any one may be judged and con demned without knowing he is tried. The Inquisi tion is the last censor of the press, every printed book must receive its approval, and it takes cognisance of all books brought into the country, and punishes those who have forbidden works in their possession. It watches over sins against the rules of the church as to eating meat on the days when it is prohibited, &c. On the 9th of February, 1857, an edict was posted up at Rome condemning a woman named Catherine Fanelli to 12 years' imprisonment for pretending to have visions and to be a saint. The taking of the child Mortara was an act of the In quisition, which is strictly an army of the priestly government. We might multiply ad infinitum instances of the cruelty and folly of the Roman Court. For the last 10 years it has almost exceeded its former cruelties, sustained as it has been by Austrian bayonets. In the town of Bologna alone, with 75,000 inhabitants, 186 persons were capitally executed in eight ears, from 1849 to 1857, besides an equ2l proportion in the smaller towns of the Romagna by the simple au thority of a court-martial, presided over by an Aus trian officer, sometimes only a.captain. Not untre quently the crime which le . d to death was harbour ing suspected persons, or not giving the required information as to where they were. The Pope had virtually abdicated his throne to the Austrian Em peror, nor did he even retain mercy, that graceful attribute of royalty—for no intercession of his ever sought to prevent the slaughter of his subjects, driven to despair by his own misgovernment and that of his predecessors. There is no mercy in the Court of Rome.—Daily News., LITERATURE. Seidller's .Life and Works. By Emil Palleske. Translated by Lady Wallace. 2 vols. Longman. The recent celebration of the centenary festival of the great German dramatist renders the appear ance of these interesting volumes peculiarly appro priate. Expressing as they do, the thoughts and sentiments of a compatriot of Schiller, they are in some respects more valuable than had they been the original work of an English writer. Though in that case the opinions might have been more entirely free from bias, the sympathetic ap preciation of the author could scarcely have been so complete. It required a German to enter thoroughly into the literary difficulties which impeded Schiller's career, and to bear testimony to the services which he rendered to the cause of free thought and the development of popular aspirations. Inspired by an enthusiastic admiration for his subject, Herr Palleske follows his chequered course through all its vicissitudes. He sketches the 'condition of his poor but honourable parents. He, gives us a lengthened account of his sojourn in. the Military Academy at Stuttgardt, of his literary attempts, an , l the offence given by them to the ruling powers. He tells us of the arbitrary prohibition of further pubLication—a command which, to the born drama tist and poet, was as idle as Canute's injunction to the sea. Further en he traces his hero's career through his flight, his subsequent efforts for sub sistence,his earnest friendships, and somewhat fiickle loves, vividly pourtraying the glorious achievements of his genius, and the miserable weight of debt and difficulty that clouded and hampered his days. The great dramatic poet, whose literary career commenced with " The Robbers " and ended with " William Tell," was all his life through hampered and distressed by encumbrances from which a few hundreds would have relieved him, and when he was lifted in any degree above the struggle it was only by the readiness of friends or the libe rality of princes. This was perhaps unavoidable in the state of society at that period, but it is the more distressing to reflect upon, since Schiller, if not always prudent or discreet, was by no means one of those literary celebritiss who arc indiffe rent to their liabilities anti idly improvident of their means. On the contrary, he was conscientious and industrious, and struggled against failing health and depressing circumstances to obtain an independence. Herr Palleske's admi ration for his subject, however, does not make him prejudiced. He censures his hero on some occa sions, and defends others who have been dopre s ciated for his elevation. With all its merits, how ever, the book partakes somewhat of two national faults of style—diffuseness and mysticism. It would have been very difficult, almost impossible, for a t rans l a t or t o have compressed it without altering its character and materially affecting it. Still, if it had been originally more concise in its style, it might have been more acceptable to English tastes. It is, notwithstanding, a valuable work ; valuable not only from its faithful record of the career of one of the great chiefs of modern literature, but from its careful analysis of his writings, and its picture of the state of feeling and perturbations of sentiment that were agitating the minds of the youth of Germany at that epoch. la Lady Wallace, Herr Palleske has found a careful and sympathetic translator. She has always, she tells us in her preface, been an enthusiastic admirer of Schiller. " Each fresh perusal of works breath ing so pure and elevated a spirit inspired me with greater reverence for the sublime heroic nature and the lofty mind whose aim it was to elevate the soul above, the selfishness, individual aggrandisement, and petty interests which too often absorb the dwellers upon earth." She had never, however, met with a biography of her hero which did not disappoint her expectations, until she' read the pre sent one. She was charmed with the work, and wrote to the author, requesting his permission to translate it. He immediately gave her full powers to condense it if she thought proper. This permis sion she has availed herself of but sparingly, only omitting some of the metaphysical portions. The prose is entirely her own ; the poetry, she tells us, has been contributed by Henry Inglis, Esq., the author of some pleasing poems. She has evidently undertaken her task in a congenial spirit, and her successful fulfilment of a very arduous under taking is the well-merited reward of her la bours. Though thoroughly German and charac teristic in • its matter and manner, the style is purely English. There are none of those in verted or strained sentences which are so often met with in translations. In commenting upon the in terest of the work, Lady Wallace remarks that the English, especially, should appreciate Schiller since he was eminent for his energy and persever ance, qualities supposed to be the peculiar posses sion of the Anglo-Saxon race. She quotes in re ference to the poet, the eloquent tribute of Carlyle. " His effect on the mind of his own country has been deep and universal, and bids fair to be abiding. His effect on the mind of other countries must in time, be equally decided, for such nobleness of heart and soul shadowed forth in beautiful imperishable emblems is a treasure which belongs not to one nation, but to all. In another are this Schiller will stand forth in the foremost rank among the master spirits of his country, and be admitted to a place among the chosen of all centuries." Herr Palleske him self, speaking of the varying characteristics of Schiller's poetry, pays him a scarcely less lofty testimony. " Per him all hearts beat with sym pathy ; his accusers find only deaf ears ; his defen ders arc innumerable. They are to be found on the throne and in the cell of the student ; they crowd the galleries of the theatres, and stand even in the pulpit. The soldier finds in Schiller his battles and his camp ; the tender virgin her purest ideal ; the scholar his romance; the Catholic his Rome; the Protestant his Gustavus Adolphus; freedom her Tell ; almost every nation its renown, and humanity its noblest gifts. Each finds what he loves best, and what he fails to find he seeks to sup ply.":At the closeof the volumes,speaking of Schiller's too brief career and the influence of his works on his age, the author says, " He lived long enough to wit ness the influence of his poetry and his admirable success ; and the more he saw that at the core the German people were sound, the more he was dis• posed to judge of them with forbearance, looking with patience to that future time when all that was false and hollow should be universally con temned as suc't, and all that was true and great more fervently admired as truth." The departed poet is fortunate in his biographer, who, despite the weaknesses and foibles inevitable to humanity, has shown him in noble colours, representing him as one in whose character were blended the attrac tive qualities of a genial heart and kindly nature with the higher attributes of the poet. " He enjoyed everything with the gladness and gaiety of a child ; he acted like a man, and he suf fered like a hero." Such as it is, with the peculiar characteristics which some may regard as merits and others as defects, the book is likely to find a large circle of readers, representing, as it does, the life and literary career of one, who so greatly in fluenced the mind of his age, and whose lot it was, like many another of his intellectual brethren, to tread the road to immortality through sorrow, dis appointment, and life-long care. STATE OF TRADE. • LEICESTER, Nov. 30.-Jrhere is a good business doing in all descriptions of useful hosiery goods. The trade generally is in a very satisfactory and healthy state, orders on hand being plentifnl, and future prospects are of a cheerful character. At Hinckley and Loughborough the trade is brisk and the operatives are well engaged. Wools are more steady, and high prices are gtven for the best sorts. No materiol change to report in yarns, spinners being for the most part well employed. NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 30.—The lace trade remains in an inactive state. The few buyers from the States who are in the market are purchasing in only limited quantities, so that their orders make very little impression upon the trade generally. There have been some orders received for mosqui toes, and a little is doing in plain goods. The fancy trade is deplorably dull. This is usually a flat time for the home demand, and as stock-taking is just commencing any improvement for the next few weeks is not expected. In the silk department there is very little doing. Manufacturers are ex ceedingly careful how they produce, and stocks are kept very light: In hosiery the home-trade con tinues flat, there having been but few buyers for the wholesale houses. There is, however, still a good business doing in shipping goods, articles of a light character having been greatly in demand. Yarns firm. It is stated that the Iron Screw Collier Company have this afternoon sold their entire fleet to Mr. Charles Capper, of the Victoria Docks, acting on behalf of a private body, for £60,000. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM MACHINERY.—About eight o'clock on Tuesday morning an accident of the most frightful description, which speedily terminated fatally, oc curred to a boy 13 years old, named• George Owen, residing in Nuttall's-court, Queen-street, Salford. Ho was em ployed at the Eagle Works, Salford, and while on a ladder in the act of reaching over to light the gas, the shaft caught him, drew him round, and completely tore away tb.e flesh of the fore part of his body. He was removed to the. Man chester Royal Infirmary, where he died in a few milautes. BIRMINGHAM CATTLE AND POULTRY SIpOW.--. The exact number of persons present on Tuesday was 16,000. and yesterday it was about 14,000, being a larger cot course than the statistics of any previous year furnish. TL is was irrespective of nearly 1,100 charity school childriii 1, who were admitted yesterday morning gratuitously, arkl who, on the thoughtful suggestion of Mr. MapiSlebeek, w r re each supplied with a bun as they entered Bingley Hal k. The sales of poultry have already reached more than £SIIIO, and the cattle and other stock are a'so selling well.
