211 E MEMBERS FOR OXFORDSHIRE A 7 wooDsrocic. WOODSTCK, TUESDAY NIGHT. The annual show of the Woodstock Horticultural and Agricultural Society was held in Blenheim park to-day. The Duke of Marlborough, the pro- prietor of Blenheim, the members of Oxfordshire, and other gentlemen visited the show and were present at the ploughing matches also. This even- ing the members of the society dined at the Town hall ; Sir IL W. Dashwood presided. There were also present the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, MT., Colonel Fane, M.P., Captain Thornhill, Mr. G. H. Barnett, Mr. IL Barnett, Mr. H. L. Gaskill, Mr. R. B. Hawkins, (Mayor of Woodstock), the Rev. W. S. Brecknell, the Mayor of Oxford, the Rev. Mr. Bartholomew, &c, The usual loyal toasts were given and drunk amid much cheering. The CHAIRMAN, in giving " The Army and Navy and the Volunteers," said that it was a matter of satisfaction for the country that we had a magni ficent force under pay, who gave up their entire time to the service of Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) But there was further cause of pride in the fact that we had a force of Volunteers who had come for ward and prepared themselves to defend their coun try gratuitously in the case• of danger. (Hear.) He felt much pleasure in asking the company to drink" The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers," Colonel NORTH, M.P., returned thanks for the army. He said that, having spent many of the happiest years of his life in the land service of her Majesty, he always felt pleasure when he heard the cheers that responded to the toast which the chairman had just proposed. (Hear, hear.) He had taken some interest in the Volunteer move• ment, and, as one of the members for Oxfordshire, he had some reason for feeling proud of the state of efficiency into which the Volunteers of that county had brought themselves. In the recent prize con test they had acquitted themselves very creditably ; and he felt convinced that they would do still bet ter in future. (Cheers.) He regretted that there was no officer of the naval branch of the war ser- vice present; but, as that was the case, he would take the liberty of saying that the navy of Eng- land had established its pre-eminence by deeds that we must all sink or swim together. (Cheers.) That ' is the principle to go upon, " Live and let live." This sentiment should pervade all classes. If we honestly give effect to it, we need have n fears for the prosperity of all classes of our countrymen. The right hon. gentleman concluded mid cheers by again thanking the company for t manner in which they had received him. Colonel NORTH, M.P., next returned thanks, and observed that the hon. baronet who filled the chair had only given utterance to the feelings of the county in speaking so highly of the right hon.gen tleman who hod just sat down. He had had some opportunity of observing the right hon. gentleman's conduct in the House of Commons, and he believed that no county was more honestly and more ably represented than was Oxfordshire by his right hon. friend Mr. Henley. (Cheers) Those whom he now addressed should not forget that when he (Mr. Henley) was the distinguished member of the Go vornment he did not hesitate one moment to give up office rather than assist in carrying a measure in which he could not honestly agree. (Cheers.) In the House of Commons there were constantly brought under consideration questions the details of which it was not easy to master, and in respect of which there was considerable difference of opinion. On such occasions he had always found himself able to adopt the course taken by his right hon. friend ; because he found invariably that the conduct of Mr. Henley was dictated by honour and honesty, and was such as tended to promote the best interests of his constituents. (Cheers.) He had once more to thank the company for the kind manner in which they had responded to the toast of his health as one of the county members. (Cheers.) Col. FANE, M.P., expressed his concurrence in all that had been said of the public services of Mr. Henley, and joined in the hope that the other mem bers for the county would endeavour to deserve as well of their constituents. He had been much gra tified by the show of that day, and trusted that the exertions of the society would tend to promote a general improvement in agriculture, and in the con dition of all classes connected with the agricultural interest. shone bright in history, and that whenever battles had to be fought in defence of our Sovereign and our homes, the army and navy had made common cause. (Cheers.) The only rivalry between them had been one in which the struggle was to see which would do most for England. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The County Members," said that, in the first place, they had to thank the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Henley) and his hon. and gallant colleague for their attendance there that day. He need not inform the meeting that agriculture and the condition of the farming classes were admittedly one of the most important questions of the day. (Hear, hear.) By a rule of their society, politics were strictly forbidden on occasions like the present ; but, without entering On political topics, he could refer to the services performed in Parliament by the right hon. gentle • man who had so long and so faithfully represented Oxfordshire in the House of Commons, (Hear, hear.) They were all aware of Mr. Henley's great ability in dealing with social topics. The right hon. gentleman was not content with applying himself to the general principles involved in any measure submitted to Parliament, but made him self master of all the details. (Hear, hear.) For that reason his assistance in the consideration of any measure affecting the farming classes was of the highest importance, and the agriculturists of Oxfordshire thoroughly appreciated his valuable services. (Cheers.) For himself, he could assure the company that he felt the greatest pleasure in giving them the toast of " The County Mem bers," in associating with that toast the name of the Right Hon. Joseph Warner Henley. (Cheers.) Mr. HENLEY, M.P., rose amid cheers that were renewed again and again. The right hon. gentle man said—Gentlemen, I hardly know how to return you my thanks for the great honour you have been pleased to confer on my colleagues and myself, and for the reception Which you have been pleased to give a toast with which the chairman has been pleased to associate my name. (Cheers.) The right hon. baronet has been pleased to make particular mention of my name. (Cries of " You deserve it !" and cheers.) I can only say that I have had an opportunity of serving the county for a longer period than my gallant colleagues; but I have no doubt that if they be afforded the same opportunity as myself, they will show themselves quit:: as zealous and faithful in the discharge of their duties as your representatives as I have endea voured to prove myself. (Cheers.) I heartily con gratulate my friends in Woodstock on the meeting of this day, which was a most creditable one for a newly formed society. The utility of such associa tions has become so manifest that we find them spreading over every county. When the example of establishing one has been set in a county we find it quickly followed, and several others founded within a very short period of time. The specimens of gaiden produce shown in Woodstock to-day are very creditable to the labouring class of agricul turists. Allusion has been made to the supposed benefit—l will say the actual benefit—which societies like this have been to that class. I am not one of those who would exaggerate the advantage of agricultural associations to that class. I believe, nevertheless, that they have been of advantage in that way. I hold that those who, like myself, can look back for a good many years, cannot but see an improvement—a great and manifest improve ment—in all that relates to the conduct of that class of the community. I do not attribute that improvement to those societies, but I am of opinion that the improvement in the habits of the labouring classes which the circumstances of the country generally have contributed to produce has enabled the agricultural labourers to take advantage of those societies—has put them in a position to come to those associations and see what is best to be done. (Hear, hear.) The question of the rate of remuneration which the agricultural labourer should receive from those who employ him is one of great interest and great difficulty, but I am one of those who believe that it must be settled by the relation of demand and supply. (Hear, hear.) I believe that any attempt to settle the question by artificial means must prove hopeless. If you get six men to do the labour of ten, what are you to do with the other four ? You must divide the money among them. I shall riot go into the minutice of this large question, but you may depend on it that supply and de-eland must regulate the price of labour. (Hear.) I meet congratulate this society and the county at f art e , not only on the increased interest taken in the dwell i ngs of the humbler classes, but also on the feelieg which makes these classes the mse l ves w i s h for a better description of dwellings. And depend upon it, if they wish for it they will have it. Like everything, a else, if th e y are content to pay better price for the thing, they will have it. (Hear, hear.) Some benevolent persons may, through benevolent motives, wish to erect a better descriptio n of dwel lings for the labouring class es, but that is not what will bring the desired object about. What will do it will be the desire on the part of the labouring elAsses themselves to be better accommodated. Many old pc rsons like myself remember the old cottages, without any upstairs, and with an earthen floor. Well, thank God, they have almost entirely disap peared. You may now ride a horse to death with out seeing one of them. (A laugh, and hear, hear.) We may say that they have ceased to exist ; and why ? Because people do not like to live in them. When people do not like to live in them they dis appeer. (Hear, hear.) The first move in the way of irnprbvement was to build two rooms upstairs, and n ow everybody who goes to build wishes to have t h r , 0 rooms upstairs. That is an improvement Leh j have lived to see in my time ; but suc h im e c an only be effected gradually. It is prow men to impossible that cottages can be swept away whole sale in order that three rooms may be built w h ere have been only two; but i n the natural course o f events the cottages of labourers, like our own dwEll- - Inge, fall into decay, and when new ones come to b e I erected they will be of an improv ed description. (Hear, hear.) It is not only in the cottages of the -poor that the improvement is taking place; we see :it in our own houses also. And so it will ever be; CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday, at a meeting of the City Commis sioners of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Mr. De Jersey in the chair, their attention was pointedly called by Mr. Green, a member of the court, to a commu nication addressed to them by Mr. Pontifex, clerk to the guardians of the West London Union, touch ing the sanitary condition of Holborn-buildings, and with a request by the guardians that the matter might have the earnest and immediate at tention of the court. The communication was founded upon a report by Dr. Reed, the medical officer of the union, made on the 27th of August, and which entered in detail into the filthy condi tion of the houses there, fourteen in number, arising from the bad state of the drains and waterclosets, and the accumulation of filth in the cellars, beneath staircases, and in all manner of out of-the-way places in the general absence of dust bins. Mr. GREEN suggested the necessity for a more regular and efficient supervision of plt.ces of this description by the inspectors of the commission, even should that call for an increase in their number. The CHAIRMAN said his attention had lately been called to the complaints of the locality in question and others in the neighbourhood of Farringdon market, and he had put himself in communication with the inspectors, the result going to convince him that they had not altogether neglected their duty, and that the state of Holborn-buildings, Ely court, and White Lion-court, was referable to the incurably filthy habits of the people who inhabited the houses there, and who were mostly the lowest class of Irish. They had no regard for public decency, and no sooner were any of the houses I cleansed or limewashed than they began to relapse into the same dirty condition. He complained that the guardians of the West London Union had in this matter not acted in a way as if they desired to co-operate with the commissioners in preserving the public health. They and their medical officers knew that the commission had an office at which com plaints relating to sanitary matters might be lodged and remedy speedily applied, but instead of avail ing themselves of it in this case they had had re course to a step calculated needlessly to alarm the public mind. Dr. LETHEBY said he was satisfied these com plaints of the guardians were due to a misconcep tion on their part as to the great amount of work which devolved on the medical officers of health and the inspectors of the commission. There were 13,000 houses and more in the City of London, all of which were practically under the supervision of the commission. They did not consider it neces sary to make any inspection of the better class of houses, except under peculiar circumstances, which seldom occurred; but, excluding them from consideration, there were upwards of 6,620 houses under regular inspection, including those occupied by the better class of the poor, which were officially visited every three or four months, unless when an epidemic disease broke out, and then there was an immediate inspection, and those used as common lodging-houses, which were regu larly inspected at least once in three weeks, and made the subjects of weekly reports to the commis sioners. He saw no means of dealing with the evils complained of except by increasing the staff of in spectors, and having a second medical officer; but he would hesitate to adopt that remedy, because he did not believe the condition of the public health demanded it, seeing that there was now a higher general state of health than there had been during the corresponding period of the last six years. Dr. ABRAHAM urged that in matters of this kind the commissioners of sewers and the guardians would do well to co-operate in the public interest, seeing that the latter employed a medical staff for the treatment of sickness and disease, much of which would be found to be remediable by the exercise of powers vested in the commissioners. He believed, by a little mutual assistance and co-operation be tween the two, the sanitary condition of the City might be brought into a much more satisfactory state than it was now. Both of them existed for the public benefit, and were entrusted with the ex penditure of public rates, and each should assist the other in the performance of its duties. He moved that the subject be referred for consideration to the general purposes committee, with power to confer with the several boards of guardians, and report the result. At the instance of IVlr.Deputy "car IDE, a re port London Union HITESe eotf that t he on n i ty t h l e f 2d of June l as t was read o f a , c t o o m t m h e i t et effect there were large accumulations of filth of all kinds in the houses in White Lion-court, particularly in the basement stories, and that a person who had lived in one of the houses there for the last eight years said he could not recollect that an inspector had ever seen her house, and she pointed to a l arge heap of filth which had been accumulating for a long period. The subject gave rise to same further discussion, resulting in the a doption of Dr. Abraham's motion. Mr. Deputy w HITESIDE presented memorial unanimously the parish of signed by inhabitants of St. Catherine cchurch wardens and oversee rs tree, including the ' overseers, stating that for some time past pre tended auctions for the sale of goods had been con ducted, at a place in Ald gate, in such a manner as to be a public nuisance to the neighbouring inhabi tants, and to the street p assengers, by reason of the riotous behaviour of the peopl e in attendance on or connected with them. The memorialists prayed that the commission would take the necessary steps for the suppression of the alleged nuisance. Dr. LETIIEBY, the medical officer of health for the City of London, reported on the state of 317 houses that had been inspected since the last meet- - ing of the court. He likew ise re p or ted that 386 visits had been made to the com mon lodging houses of the City ; and he submitted a l ist of 186 P laces for sanit ar y i m p rov ement. The markets and slaughter-houses of the City had been duly in spected, and the offi cers h a d seized 17,549 lb. of meat, and 852 head of game and poultry, as unfit for human food ; 12,005 lb. were diseased, 3,667 lb. Were putrid, and 1,877 lb. ;were from animals that lit7iFdiertiirm naturarcaises. — lt consisted of 49 TEM SUN, VVEDN'TSIAY STEPTMVIBER 17, 16611. sheep, 13 pigs, 124 quarters of beef, and 73 joints of meat. All of it was destroyed in the usual manner. The keepers of four of the slaughter-houses in the City had been summoned before the justices for ne glecting to cleanse their premises after receiving orders from the commission, and they were each fined. 281 births and 267 deaths have been regis tered during thP last six weeks. The mortality re turns are less than the average (291) for the corre sponding period of the last six years. 108 of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 43 were among persons of 60 and up wards. The chief causes of death were as follows: —Phthisis, 32 ; mesenteric disease and scrofula, 22; hydrocephalus, 6 ; pneumonia, 8 ; bronchitis, 10 ; continued fever, 19 ; scarlet fever, 7 ; whooping cough, 8 ; croup and diphtheria, 5 ; measles, 22 ; and diarrb cea, 19, of which only 3 were adult cases; altogether there were 60 deaths from tubercular diseases, 18 from inflammatory affections of the lungs, and 65 from diseases of a zymotic character. jobmaster, of Brampton, and he was sent with a brougham to di ive out the prisoner and a lady. The prisoner pulled the check-string in Piccadilly, and said he wanted to go somewhere, and that he was to be back in Great Windmill-street in an hour. Witness went, and then did not see the lady with the earrings in her ears. The lady complained to him that she had lost something. Henry Salmon said—l keep an oyster-shop at 67, Hai market_ I remember Saturday evening, the 16th August. The prisoner came to my house tY;tween eleven and twelve. He came by himself. He asked me if I would let him have supper, as he had boon ont all day with a lady in a brougham. Ho said "If you will let me have some supper I will deposit with you a pair of earrings," and, knew him, I said that I did not mind doing so. He went out, and returned with the earrings, and then he said as he had no money to pay for a cab, he would be glad if I would lend him a few shil lings. I did so, and lent him 159. He then went out, and shortly afterwards returned with a lady, but it was not Miss Herbert, the prosecutrix, and she had supper. I have known the prisoner for some time. soner ; also the mantle she had stolen from Mr.' Rayney. The prosecutor was called, and he said that his losses were enormous while the prisoner was in his service, but, owing to her religious habits, he never suspected her. During the time the prisoner was in the dock she covered her face with her hands, and begged for mercy. lhe Chairman asked if there was any former conviction of felony against her. Sergeant Shepherd repliel in the negative. She, however, had been convicted for unlawful pos s?ssion. The Chairman, in passing sentence, told the pri soner that the offences to which she had pleaded guilty were of a very serious nature, and com mitted under very aggravated circumstances, under the cloak of sanctity and religion. The Court would mark its censure of her conduct by sentencing her to twelve months' hard labour at Wandsworth. The prisoner was then removed.' (Before Mr. Tilson, Deputy-Chairman.) Michael Nicholson, 27, William Wright, 39, and William Pelham, 28, were indicted for stealing a large quantity of lead, the property of the London and South-Western Railway Company. Mr. Lilley, instructed by Mr. Bromall, from the office of the solicitor to the company, prosecuted, and the prisoners were undefended. Police-constable 287 V said that on Monday morning, the Bth inst., he was passing down the Wandsworth-road, when he met Nicholson and Wright coming from the direction of the railway works. Nicholson had something bulky about him, and endeavoured to avoid witness, but he went up to them, and asked Nicholson what he had about him Nicholson then took a piece of lead, weigh ing 381b5., from under his clothes, and handed it to 'Wright, saying, "Hold t'•iis a bit." Witness asked them where they got it from. They replied from a man working at the railway. Witness went to the works and took Pelham into custody, when he admitted giving the others the lead. Mr. Charles Burrows, contractor to the South- Western Railway, said that Pelham worked for him, and he had no right to give the lead away. Large quantities had lately been missed from the works in a most mysterious way. The prisoners made a rambling defence, and were found guilty. The Court sentences each to six months' hard labour. 711 E DIPLOMA7Ir SERVICE. The Gazette of last night publishes the following Regu lations for her Majesty's Diplomatic Service : 1.

TWO WATCHERS SHOT. James Walton, a notorious poacher, was charged before the magistrates at Barnard Castle, on Mon day, with murderously shooting at a gamewatcher in the service of the Duke of Cleveland, on Bolli hope-moor, near Middleton in Teesdale, on the 30th ult. The facts, as adduced, were simply these :-- Mr. Scarth, the Duke's agent, accompanied by Mr. Lax, land agent, and three watchers, scoured the moor on the evening in question in search of poachers. A little after six they came across two men, both of whom were masked and carried guns. They called upon them to lay down their arms and surrender, as they were known. They made no re ply, but shook their fists and pointed to their guns. Mr. Scarth told his men to advance, but they had not got more than two paces before one of the guns was discharged, and a watcher named Bedall, cry ing out that he was shot, reeled forward, and fell heavily to the ground. His comrade ran to his assistance, when a second shot was fired. Another watcher named Rutter, saw that the villain was aiming at him, and fortunately cowed down, other wise, in all probability he would have been killed; as it was, he was struck in the head and arm, but was not seriously hurt. The poachers then slunk away. The wounded man was removed, and a sur geon obtained. No fewer than 12 shots were found in the poor fellow's chest, in the immediate region of the heart, and upwards of 40 other shots in hie arm. For several days his life was despaired of, but he is now recovering. Mr. Scarth and a police constable went immediately to Walton's house; be was not at home, but at 12 o'clock at night was BP" prehended in the street. The bench fully committed him for trial at the ensuing assizes, and refused to accept bail. COUNTRY MA RAL:I6. . b, LEEDS-TUESDAY. At to-day's market we had a good supply of new wheat. which met a slow trade at is to 2s decline from last Fri day's rates. Other articles gave way in price. LIVERPOOL—TUESDAY. In wheat a quiet business was done to-day, and fine is very steady at fully last week's quotations. Flour quiet, at former prices. Indian corn firm. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Sergeant Gaselee, Q.C.) Edwin B.eay, 20, bookbinder, was indicted for stealing a watch from the person of John William Pritchard. Mr. Orridge prosecuted. The prisoner was unde fended. The prosecutor stated that he is a clerk, and on the 23d of August, about 12 o'clock at night, he was walking with some friends along the Caledonian road, Islington, and upon arriving at the corner of it at King's-cross he was accosted by the prisoner, who accused him of kicking an old gentleman who had just passed, for which there was not the slightest foundation. The prisoner was accompanied by 4or 4 other persons. Witness indignantly denied the accusation, upon which the prisoner walked up close to him, and immediately afterwards he felt some person's hand in his pocket. He put his hand to his pocket and found his watch gone, the chain hang ing loose from his waistcoat pocket. Witness called out that his watch was gone, and at the same mo ment saw the prisoner running across the road. Witness's brother pursued the prisoner, but he ma naged to escape; but he went to the station-house and gave a description of him, and from this he was subsequently apprehended_ Stephen Pritchard, brother of the prosecutor, corroborated this evidence. L. S. Tomkins, police-constable 315 N, and J. Bush, 162 B, proved apprehending the prisoner from the description given of him by the prosecutor. The jury, without hearing a summing up from the learned judge, immediately returned a verdict of guilty. Police-constable Cooke, 198 N, proved that the prisoner had been convicted in this court, and sen tenced to imprisonment for 12 months in 1861. At that time a previous conviction was put in against him. George Lockyer, the prison officer of Coldbath fields, also proved five former convictions, ranging from 1859 to 1862. Mr. Sergeant Gaselee said that society must be relieved from such a fellow, as he was a complete nuisance, and therefore the sentence upon him was that he be kept in penal servitude for five years. As soon as the sentence was pronounced the pri soner threw himself upon a seat in the doch, and was in the act of removing his shoes for the purpose of throwing them at the learned judge, but the dock officer caught hold of him, and although he struggled violently he succeeded in throwing him on to the floor of the dock until further assistance was obtained. He continued struggling violently to get at his shoes, and it required the united efforts of three officers to convey him to the cells below. Upon getting into the cell he seized hold of a large water-jug and attempted to throw it at Lockyer, the officer, but he managed to escape the intended assault. Jas. Dalton was indicted for embezzling the sum of 31s. from his employer, Geo. Walter, Mortimer road, Kingsland. Mr. Foot prosecuted. Mr. Dickie defended the prisoner. The jury aquitted the prisoner. M. de Winton, 29, a young man of the most re spectable appearance, was indicted charged with stealing two earrings, value £2, the property of Amelia Herbert, from her person. Mr. Best prosecuted. Mr. Williams defended the prisoner. Mr. Best having briefly opened the case, called Miss Amelia Herbert, a young woman of very showy and prepossessing appearance, who said—l reside at Grove-place, Brompton. I remember being in Piccadilly on Friday, Aug. 15, between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening. The prisoner was there in a cab, and he called me to it, and eventually I got into it, and he took me to the Count de Morley's, at 67, Great Titchfield-streer, but he was not at home. We then adjourned to the Army and Navy Club, and we were driving about until nearly 12 o'clock at night. The prisoner said he had got a£s note, and unless he could change that he 'could not pay the cabman. He eventually went home with me to my house at Brompton and passed the night with 'me. The following day he sent the servant to Mr. Gates, a job master at Brompton, and ordered a brougham, which: arrived about 5 o'clock in the evening. We had a drive together, and then re turned to my house. We came up to town between 7 and 8, and we again drove to the Count de Mor ley's. He was not at home, but we were told where we should find him. We then went to Charlotte-street, Portman-square, where we found the Count de Morley. While the prisoner went to see the count I was left in the brougham. The count and the prisoner then got into the brougham, and we were driven to a cafe in Great Windmill street. We all went into the cafe and had some re freshments. The prisoner said he wanted to go to the London Pavilion, near the Argyll Rooms, to get change for some Belgian notes. I remained in the cab, and the prisoner went away, and did not re turn until 11 at night. I was sitting in the brougham all the time. I was awake all the time, but I was very faint in consequence of sitting in the cab so many hours. He came back to the cab and got in again for a few minutes, and said as he had been unable to get change for the notes, I must wait, and he must speak again to the Count de Morley. A few minutes after he was gone I put my hands to my ears, and found that my ear rings were gone. Just before he talked to me in the brougham I put back my hair, and my ear rings were in my ears then, but I missed them soon after he was gone. He did not return to me again that evening. - I spoke to the driver of the brougham, and told him that my earrings were gone. I saw the prisoner on the Tuesday evening afterwards in Piccadilly. I said, " Halloa, where are my ear rings ?" He said, "They are at my house. I was going to bring them to you. I took them for a lark, and there was another man with me." I was going to give him in charge, but he was off before I could do so. The Count de Morley was not then with him. (The earrings were produced.) These ear rings are mine, and I never gave the prisoner leave to take them or use them in any way. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams—l live at Brompton. The way I get my living was by living under the protection of a gentleman ever since I , came to London until about a month ago. When I first saw the prisoner I was walking in Piccadilly on my way to the Argyll Rooms, and he called me to him in a cab. The prisoner remained in the cab while he had a conversation with me. I then got into the cab, and proceeded with the prisoner to the Count de Morley's. We then went to the Army k and Navy Club, He then went with me to my own house, where the prisoner passed the night. I rose between 10 and 11 the next morning, when the prisoner made a proposition about going for a drive. A brougham was sent for, and we drove round the Cremorne Gardens and Chelsea. He told me he would stop all day, and that he would give me £lO lin the evening. We afterwards drove to town to Count de Morley's, but he was not at home. We afterwards found him. We went to a cafe, and the Count de Morley paid for the refreshments. While we were in the cafe the prisoner asked the Count de Morley for £lOO, and he said he had got but £6O in Belgian notes, and the prisoner left for the London Pavilion to get them changed. While we y were ridi ng t oge th er i n th e b roug h am I t o ld the p r isoner that I w as i n d e bt t o m y landlady, and he said he would get the money, pay my landla dy, , and take me ~,,,ay. I did owe the landlady money. She took some she knew thatof my rings, because she said that the prisoner was not a gentle man.

B est— l ow ed my landlady three gui • neas which was a week's rent. 1 Richard ' 4 --_. NI artin said he was servant to Mr. Gates, James Pace, police-constable 315 A, said he ap prehended the prisoner at the bar on the 24th of August, in Arundel-court, Hay market. He charged him with stealing a pair of earrings. He said that he knew he had them, but they were given to him by the prosecutrix. He said that they were at Salmon's, in the Haymarket. Mr. Best said that was the case for the prosecution. Mr. M. Williams said the jury had heard the statement of his learned friend, and the evidence by which he had attempted to support it, and al though he had made some amusing remarks, he still thought they were unfitting the occasion, which was of a very serious nature as affecting the pri soner at the bar, who was a gentleman of position, of education, and had had the honour of serving in her Majesty's army. He was a gentleman of high integrity, and although he might have been guilty of follies, yet he was far above the suspicion of theft, for if that had really been his object he could have possessed himself of the jewellery of the prose cutrix, which lay open upon her dressing-table while she was asleep, or of the watch which she was wearing whilst he was riding in the brougham with her. The real truth was that, on the Satur day night the prosecutrix wanted to have supper, and as the money changers' offices were closed, and he could not get change for the Belgian notes, she handed to him the earrings to obtain money upon them from some of the nighthouses in the neighbourhood, to furnish the means of having supper; and this charge would never have been made had it not come to the knowledge of the prosecutrix that the prisoner had been seen at Mr. Salmon's, the oyster-shop, with another woman, who had been supplied with supper out of the pro cads of the property which belonged to her. That was really the kernel of the nut, and gave an ex planation of the whole of the transaction, which had induced the prosecutrix to come forward to prefer this charge ; but he firmly trusted that, however much the jury might condemn the prisoner in pick ing up with persons in the position of the prosecu trix, who was little removed from those who walked the streets for their support, they would restore him by their verdict to that position in society which he had hitherto enjoyed, and, by the expe rience it had given him, make him a wiser and a better man. (Applause.) Mr. Sergeant Gaselee then summed up, and said these poor women were worthy of commiseration, rather than the severe cross-examination which the learned counsel for the prisoner had pursued towards her. The prisoner had taken this young lady in a brougham, and he was charged with taking the ear rings from her ears, and the jury would judge of the truth of her testimony by the manner in which she had given her evidence. As to the statement of the learned counsel, that if he had contemplated theft the prisoner could have carried it out at her own home, that was not likely then, for he had another object in view ; and because he did not do so then it was by no means inconsistent with what was done afterwards. He went further through the evi dence, and said that even if he had not stolen the earrings, and supposing that this young lady had given them to him to obtain money upon them, he could still be prosecuted under the present indict ment as a fraudulent bailee in not handing over the money he obtained upon them to the prosecutrix, but kept it and appropriated it to his own use. The jury then considered their verdict, and after nearly half an hour's consultation, returned a ver dict of guilty. On being asked why sentence should not be pro nounced upon him, The prisoner said he was as innocent of the charge as any person at present in the court, and he protested that the earrings had been placed in his hands by the prosecutrix herself for the purpose of obtaining supper, and he knew that her landlord and lady had persuaded the prosecutrix to press this charge against him under a belief that he (pri soner) would pay any sum of money to them rather than appear in a court of justice. He had also witnesses in attendance that the prosecutrix had recently stated in the Haymarket, that if she had £lO she would go away, and would not appear in support of the charge. Mr. Serjeant Gaselee said, admitting that to be so, he was still liable to imprisonment as a fraudu lent bailee. If he had obtained from this poor woman her earrings, and she had given them to him as bailee to pawn them, why had he not eawasal them and handed over the money to this noor woman, which he had not done, but, according, to his own account had spent the money upon an other woman. As to the position in society of the prisoner, he was happy to say that the laws of England were no respecter of per-ons and he felt assured that no man of the slightest delicacy of feel ing would desire to feed on the profits of this poor woman. While they felt the utmost indignation at bis conduct, they must take care that they did not allow that indignation to work too heavily against the offender, for he now stood in the dock like any other ordinary offender, and nothing was known of his high position in society but what was stated by his own counsel. He stood in the dock where many others had stood before, and as nothing was known of him they should treat this as the first offence, and that had induced them to pass a lenient sentence, for it was indeed a lenient sentence, and which was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. The prisoner was then removed. Alfred Ryan, 24, was convicted of stealing a purse from Mrs. Coleman, at the Stepney Sta tion of the Blackwall Railway, and a former conviction being proved against him he was sen tenced to penal servitude for three years. . Jeremiah Daley, 26, a labourer, was indicted for unlawfully, willully, and maliciously committing damage, in the ni :fit time, to certain property to an amount exceeding £5, to wit, two Danes of glass value £l5, the property of John Walter Cowell. The prosecutor is the landlord of the Black Horse, No. 9, Blackman-street, Borough, and after twelve on the night of the Ist inst., the prisoner was ejected for his disorderly conduct, and the doors cicsed upon him. As soon as he got outside he was seen by a constable to take up a stone from the road and smash two of the prosecutor's large windows, when he was immediately secured. _The Jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to sin months' hard labour. Catherine Hall, 23, described as a married woman, was indicted for stealing a watch from th:. - • person of Joseph Whitby, at the Crystal Palace Railway Station, Penge. The prosecutor said that on Aug. 19 he went to the Crystal Palace with some friends, and in the evening, while waiting for a train to carry them to town, the prisoner accosted bim, and he suddenly missed his watch and the prisoner too. He was certain no other person had been near him but her from the time he saw his watch safe and his missing it. He called to the police, and she was then secured. Verdict Guilty. Sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. Thomas Novis, 37, was indicted for stealing a counterpane and several sheets, blankets, and other articles, the property of Edwin Marks Belsh, his master. The prosecutor is a lodging-house keeper in Kent street, and he had for some time employed the pri soner as his deputy, leaving him in charge of the house. The prisoner suddenly left his service and took a house of his own in the Mint. The prosecu tor, hearing of that, examined his own property, and missed counterpanes, sheets, blankets, &c., which were found by the police in the possession of the prisoner. Verdict Guilty. Sentenced to six months' hard labour. William Chapman, 41, watchmaker, pleaded guilty to stealing at Farnham a number of watches and other articles, the property of James Plume Fowler. The Court sentenced him to six months' hard labour. Thomas Barker, 34, and Elizabeth Barker, 25, were indicted for stealing a clock, the property of Henry Whelpdale, the landlord of the White Lion TaN ern, Streatham: It appeared from the evidence that on the after noon of the 4th of August last the prisoners entered the prosecutor's house, and went into the parlour, where the watch was hanging, and each called for a glass of ale, but to all appearances seemed to be strangers to each other. Soon after they had been there the man came to the bar and purchased two biscuits, which he took back to the parlour, and a few minutes afterwards the female prisoner left the house. The man was about to quit some time after that, when the clock was missed from the parlour, and he was given into custody. He denied all knowledge of the female, but evidence was given that they had for some time lived at Croydon as man and wife. The latter was afterwards taken into custody. The Deputy -Chairman sentenced the male priso ner to twelve months and the female to six months. Houry Mayhew, 26, bricklayer, was indicted for stealing a quantity of lead then being fixed to a dwelling-house, the property of George Suter, also with stealing three stoves and a copper in a dwell ing -house, the property of Edward Haiswell and others. The prisoner is a bricklayer, and was employed to do odd jobs for Mr. Suter, during which time he stole the lead and other property. Verdict guilty. Sentence, twelve months' hard labour. John Ramer, 30, pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of lead, the property of Alfred Augustus Brand. The Court sentenced him also to twelve months' hard labour. James Hindry was sentenced to three months' for stealing an umbrella, the property of Eliza Saggers._ Peter Currie and Amelia Carrie, man and wife, were indicted for cutting and wounding Lawrence Burke, a metropolitan police-constable, in the exe cution of his duty. Mr. Thompson prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton, with Mr. Opprnbeim, defended the prisoners, instructed by Mr. Binns. It appeared from the evidence of the officer that a robbery was committed in the street, and the thief rushed into 'a house in which the prisoner lived. He pursued the thief, when he was attacked by the pri soners in an outrageous manner, his head being cut, and receiving such injuries as to prevent him per forming his duties. After a deal of evidence, the jury found the pri soners guilty of the common assault only, when The Deputy Chairman sexy enced the man to pay a fine of £lO, and the female £5, and to be kept in prison until such fines be paid. (Before J. R. Baggallay, Esq., Q.C.) Charles Pacey, 33, a farm labourer, was indicted for feloniously killing a sheep, the property of Sarah Karn, with intent to steal its carcass, at Frensham, in this county. Mr. Gordon Allan prosecuted, and Mr. Lilley de fended the prisoner. This was a most singular case, and the evid ence against the prisoner was extremely loose as regarded identity. It appeared that the prosecutrix was a farmer at Frensham, and in March last the prisoner worked about that neighbourhood, and his father lived near the proseoutrix's farm, On the 21st of March last the manager to the prosecutrix went to the fold, and found one of the sheep lying dead and mangled. The legs were cut off in a rough man ner. One of the Surrey constabulary examined the spot, and traced marks of a dog's and a man's foot-marks towards the prisoner's cottage, but owing to recent snow they were lost. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, but he had quitted the neigh bourhood, and nothing was heard - of him until a fortnight ago, when the constable took him into custody at Chichester, footmarks corresponded witht was stated that t he used to wear, and that he boots the generally had h a dog prisoner with him when he w en t about. There was no evidence to sh ow t h at the ' er was actual that had:any meat in the prosecutri x ' s f arm, or that he seen about his possession. Mr. Lilley a t some length, addressed the jury when The Chairman told them that, according to the evidence he did not think that it would be safe to convict the prisoner. They, however, had heard the evidence, andcould return their verdict accordingly. minutes' consultation, re- The ju r y, a f ter a 'f ew turned a verdict of acquittal. John Clark, 17, pleaded guilty of stealing a cow, the:property of Charl es Wren, at New Chapel, in the parish of Godstene. The prisoner was seen to driv e the cow from a field, and afterwards offerit for sale about six miles off, when he was given into cu s t o dy. The Court sentenced him to 18 months' hard abour. Candidates who shall have clected to undergo two exa minations must be prepared to satisfy the examiners, if re quired to do so, as to their acquaintance with the various matters which come within the single examination (except as regards Latin, geography, and arithmetic, in which such candidates are exempted from being re-examined) ; and they will moreover be required for their second examination, to draw up a report on the general commercial and political relations of the several countries in which they may have resided, and on the internal polity and administration, the social institutions, and the character of the people of such countries. If a candidate offering himself for the single examination should fail to satisfy the Commissioners to the required extent, but should evince such a knowledge of the subjects on which he may have been examined, as would have ob tained for him a certificate of fitness if he had only offered himself for a first examination, the Commissioners will, in such case, give a certificate as a first examination ; and the candidate will eventually have to present himself again be fore the Commissioners for the second examination. 2. Period of Service of Attaches. The service of Attaches will reckon from the date of the certificate first granted by the Civil Service Commis sioners, and will be considered as probationary for four years from that date, during which period the Attaches must have been employed for six months in the Foreign office, and must also have actually resided at one of her Majesty's Embassies or Missions abroad, or have been ac tually employed in the Foreign-office, for a further period of three years. If these conditions as to employment and residence have not been fulfilled at the expiration of four years from the date of the certificate of the Civil Service Commissioners, the probationary period will be prolonged until they have been fulfilled; and it will likewise be pro longed in the case of candidates who may have elected to undergo two examinations, until the final certificate of the commissioners has been obtained. 3. A salary of £l5O a-year will be granted, contingently, to Attaches on completion of their probation. A salary at the rate of £l5O a-year will be granted to attaches on termination of the period of probation, and on the receipt from the minister, under whom they have last served, of a certificate showing that their general character and conduct, during the time they have so served, have been satisfactory; and that, as far as such minister has the means of forming an opinion, they understand and speak French well, and also one other foreign language. 4. Abolition of the designation of Paid Attaches. Com missions as Second Secretaries to be granted to Paid Attaches. The designation of first and second paid attache is abo lished ; and in lieu themof will be substituted the designa tion of second secretaries, which will be conferred by com missions under her Majesty's sign manual. 5. Commissions as Third Secretaries to be granted to Un paid Attaches on completion of their probation. Commissions as' third secretaries will also be granted under ber Majesty's sign-manual to persons now serving as unpaid attaches, or who shall hereafter be appointed un • paid attaches, on the fulfilment of the conditions, appli cable to such persons, as specified in the present regulations. It is clearly to be understood that the aforesaid commis sions of second and third secretaries will not imply appoint ment to any particular embassy or mission ; but the holders thereof will be subject to the same conditions and liabilities as to removal from one mission to another, at the discretion of the Secretary of State, as those to which attaches of all classes are now liable. Secretaries of the second and third classes may be indis criminately attached, either to an embassy or to a mission; and the circumstance of having been attached in either of the above capacities to an embassy will not preclude trans fers in the same capacity to a mission. Moreover, there may be more than one secretary of either of the above classes attached, at the pleasure of the Secretary of State, to any embassy or mission. 6. Number of Second Secretaries. There will be a fixed number of second secretaries, deter mined by the number of first and second paid attaches, at the date of the issue of these regulations. The salaries of second secretaries will be fixed at the same rates as those now assigned to first and second paid attaches in the respective embassies and missions ; it being under stood that such rates have reference to the character of the embassy or mission, and not to the services of the second secretaries, who may be removed, without claim to compen sation, from an embassy or mission where the rates are higher, to an embassy or mission where the rates are lower. 7. Rules as to Pensions of the Fourth Class. In virtue of her Majesty's commissions, the service of second and third secretaries will count for their pensions, under the Act of 2 and 3 Wm. IV, cap. 116, from the date e f of the issue of their first commission; bu t thea a mount as a t r o b e e l s h i l g e n f e o d ra to p t o h n er i n w . i o l f l b t e h e feur calculated, th e l e s e o o l n o l n y g , for l e m a si h s i y o e n a , r a thtoantehas ..thirtiethelapse a s t. l since f t t h h e e I d e a s t te s a l o a f ry t h e e f i w r h fi i r e s h t they were in receipt at the nopension time ha o fth l l e continue pension to being te gra nted ; provided issuedt a p e rson not incapacitated by ill-health, medically certifie who may decline active service before he has reached the sixtieth year of his age, after which age no person shall be required to serve as second or third secretary. 8. Provision for the transfer of the Junior Members of the Diplomatic Service from one post to another; and pay ment of their expenses of removal. Second or third secretaries, and attaches, as a general rule, will not be employed for more than two years conse cutively, irrespective of the periods during which they may have been absent on leave in the same embassy or mission, unless for special public reasons. Secretaries of embassy or legation, second and third secretaries, and attaches, will, on their first appointment, or on any subsequent removal by reason of promotion or otherwise on public grounds, re ceive such an allowance as shall be sufficient to cover the actual expense of their personal journey by land, or the actual amount paid for their personal passage by sea, either from England to their post, or from one foreign post to another ; and in the case of secretaries of embassy or legation, and of second secretaries, a similar allowance for one servant, if they have one ; butno allowance will be=ade under the head of subsistence during a journey by land; neither will any allowance be made for the expense of the journey or subsistence of the families of any such secre taries or attaches. In the event of a passage being afforded to secretaries or attaches on board of one of her Majesty's ships of war the allowance made will be in conformity with the Admiralty regulations. No allowance will be made to the junior members of the diplomatic service for journeys u ndertaken for their own convenience, in pursuance of leave of absence; but in all such cases the expense of the journeys from and on return ing to their posts will be exclusively at their own charge. It is understood, moreover, that in the case of any journey of which the expense is to be allowed, secretaries or attaches, un l ess specially excused from doing so, w ill b e bound to take' charge of despatches, if required ; and, in , t hey will be expected to perfor m th e j ourney without u on the road. 9. Interchangedelaying of employment between Second and Third Secretaries, and Junior Clerks in the Foreign-office. The Secretary of State will, should he see occasion, for the a dvantage of the public service, allow second and third secretaries, and attaches, to interchange for a time their duties with clerks of the three junior classes in the Foreign office ; the several parties being bound, for the whole period through which the interchange extends, in every respect to perform the duties and to submit to the obligations attaching to the situation which they may temporarily occupy. _ . The Secretary of State will, moreover, if he sees reason to do so, direct such temporary interchange of duties to be made, irrespective of the wishes of the parties, between second or third secretaries, or attaches, and clerks in the Foreign Office : or he will direct such persons to be em ployed for a time, at home or abroad, without any inter change, snaking in either case such an allowance to the reckon Inthe parties as he may consider j ust and reasonable even t of any Attache being so employ e d in the Foreign Offi c e, the period, over and above the six months which are o bli ga tory as stated in section 2 , during which he shall b ._ e actua lly employed in the Foreign Office, shall towards the three years during which he is by these l a tions to reside at an Embassy or Mission abroad. regu.

LONDON: Printed and Published by JOHN CHAFL -TN : of No. 112, Strand, Printer, at THE SUN Office N 0.11.4; Strand, in the Precinct of the Savoy, in the . County ° J middiese.x.—Wednesday, September 17, 1862; SURREY SESSIONS, Sept. 16. (Before J. E. Johnson, Esq., Chairman.) Agnes Boyd, 19, a respectable-looking young woman, a Sunday-school teacher and governess at the Infant National School at Stepney, was indicted for stealing eleven silk mantles, the property of her employer, at St. George-the-Martyr, South wark ; one cloak, the property of Mary Ann Saun ders ; and one mantle, the property of John Ray , ney, at Lambeth. There were also charges of stealing watches and other property belonging to , portions of her family. When placed in the dock she pleaded guilty. Sergeant Shepherd, of the L division, a very active 'detective officer, on being called forward, said that the prisoner had for some time carried on artful and systematic robberies, not only plunder ing het master to a serious extent, but stealing pro perty belonging to a young man she kept company with, and her own father ; but not the slightest suspicion ever attached to her until the present time, owing to her position as teacher and her ap parent religious habits. It was solely through her extraordinary extravagance and fondness of dress of late her delinquencies were exposed. For two years she was confidential assistant to Mr. Richey, 4, Upper Stamford-street, who carried on business as a wholesale mantle manufacturer ; and such was the extent to which she carried on her plunder, while with that gentleman, that he was losing large sums of money instead of making fair profits. In consequence of that he relinquished business in I favour of his son, who removed the manufactory into the City. While in Mr. Richey's employ, she not only supplied her friends with mantles at a quarter of their price, but carried away a vast number. No suspicion was ever attached to her. In June lass she returned to her lodgings while her landlady was out, and no other person was there. When the landlady came home the prisoner told her that thieves had entered her apartment and plundered it of several valuable articles, The land lady accordingly examined her room, and found her watch, end various other articles, gone, but she never in the least suspected the prisoner as being the thief. Three weeks ago the prisoner called at the residence of Mrs. Saunders, a friend of the family, and while there that lady left the room for a moment to procure her a glass of water, which she had asked for. She then managed to secrete, under her crinoline it was supposed, a new mantle beonging to that lady. Information of the loss was given to him (Sergeant Shepherd), and on his making inquiries, he at once suspected the prisoner, owing to her extravagant mode of life. He accor dingly charged her with the robbery, when, after a tittle hesitation, she acknowledged stealin g t h at lady's mantle, and handed him the pawnbroker's duplicate relative to it. He then searched her box, and found thirty-five duplicates, all relating to pro perty she had stolen, and amongst them the watches of her father and sweetheart. Witness found large quantities of Mr. Richey's mantles at various pawn ► brokers', where they had been pledged by the pri- rarity employed with a opeolal, tit with all oldttlavii bassy or mission, he will receive a commission or an acting appointment, as the case may be, as secretary of the second or third class, according to the length of his service in the Foreign-office; but he will, as regards others then in the same class, enter it as the junior. 10. Deductions to be made from Salaries of Heads of Missions on Leave of Absence. With a view to relieve heads of missions on leave of ab sence on private grounds, the deduction to be made from their salaries will in future be limited, for a period not ex ceeding sixty days from the date of their departure from their posts, to the sum required to provide for the allow ances of the acting charge d'affaires ording to the pre sent regulations; on the expiration of which period the de duction will be at the rate of one• half of their salaries. Such period of sixty days may either be one of sixty conse cutive days, or of sixty days occurring at intervals in the course of one year beginning on the let of January. 11. Allowances during war or interruption of relations. Should an Ambassador, Minister, or Secretary, by reason of war or other interruptions of diplomatic relations, be withdrawn from active service before his services shall have qualified him for a diplomatic pension of the class under which be would otherwise come, the tlecretary of State will, as he may see fit, assign to any such person a temporary allowance calculated on the rate of pension assigned to the class to which he belongs, regard being had to the length and general character of his services ; such allowance being, however, strictly subject to the condition in regard to employment specified in the 7th section of the act of '2nd and 3rd William IV., c. 116. 12. Date at which present Regulations shall take effect. The foregoing regulations shall take effect from the Ist day of October, 1862 : but unpaid attaches appointed pre viously to the Ist of January, 1861, will be allowed until the Ist of July, 1863, to undergo their second examination, according to the regulations now in force ; and if, on such seeonl examination, they obtain their certificates, they will retain their present precedence, but not otherwise. All persons nominated as attaches subsequently to the date of the present regulations will be tubject to the provi sions as to examination therein contained, The condition of employment for six months in the Fo reign-office will not be enforced with regard to unpaid at taches in the service abroad at the date of these regula tions; but such unpeid attaches must have passed both examinations under the existing regulations, must have actually resided for a period of three years at one or more o f her Majesties embassies or missions abroad, must have corcpioted four years from the time of their entering the service, and must be provided with the certificate from the head of the mission under whom they have last served, specified in elatoe 3 of these regulations, before they can receive a commissionas a secretary of the third class, or the salary at the rate of £1.50 a-year assigned to that class. Those persons who contin!te in the service, or who shall hereafter enter the service, as unpaid attaches, will be denominated " attaches." (Signed) Foreign-office, September 15, 1862. RUSSELL.
