711 E NAVY. The screw corvette Pylades, 21, 350 horse power, was yesterday taken out of Chatham harbour to the measured mile at the Maplin Sands, for the purpose of testing the working of her machinery since the alterations effected in her engines. She will be masted to-day, and again placed in No, 4 dock, in order to be brought forward for immediate com mission. Yesterday a party of 120 additional shipwrights were placed on the paddlewheel despatch steamer Salamis, 4, 250-horse power, building at Chatham Dockyard, in order to hasten forward the comple tion of that vessel. The Salamis is now receiving her outer planking, and, from the efforts making to complete her, she is expected to be ready for launch ing by the close of the present year. A Court-martial assembled on Wednesday on board the Formidable, 84, flagship of Vice-Admiral W. J. H. Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of John Berry, alias Jeffery, serving at the Sheerness Coastguard station, and borne on the books of the Pembroke, 60, for having on the 17th September last deserted from the said station. The Court found the prisoner guilty, and, in consideration of his previous long service and very good character, sentenced him to be impri soned, with hard labour, for six months in the naval prison, Lewes. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Sub•Lieut. the Hon. H. H. Molyneux, to the Revenge ; Butler J. 0. S. Carter, midshipman, to the Marlborough, supernumerary, for disposal; W. W. Pughe, naval cadet, to the Galatea ; Frederick Hope Johnstone, naval cadet, to the Nile, supernumerary, for disposal ; J. Lee, chief engineer, to the Leopard ; Maurice Johnson, chief engineer, to the Indus, for the Exmouth ; James Connor, c hi e f engineer, to the Cumb er l an d , for the Anson ; James Lilburne, surgeon, to the Leopard ; Thomas G.

Sir R. Dacres, K.C.8., accompanied by Col. Sir David Wood, commanding the Horse Brigade, Royal Artillery, at Woolwich, and Major Reilly, C. 8., the General's aide-de-camp, yesterday inspected the division of Royal Marines on Wool wich-common. The whole of the available division, which consists of 1,700 men, now ashore was drawn out in review order, in command of Col. Mitchell, commandant, and, having received the General on the ground, they were minutely inspected. On the General retiring to the front they marched past in open columns in slow time, and afterwards in grand divisions in quick time. They again fell into line, when the General ordered the junior Lieut.-Colonel (Sather) to put the battalion through a variety of manoeuvres. After a series of volley firing and some light infantry movements (the General repeatedly commending the efficiency of their drill), they were dismissed to quarters. The parade was then closed to the general public, and the divisional court martial orders were read by the field Adjt., Lieut. Mitchell. Gen. Dacres having, in the meantime, transacted some official affairs at the head-quarters of the Royal Artillery, proceeded to an inspection of the Royal Marine Infirmary, and in the evening, accompanied by the garrison staff, he was enter tained at a banquet in the mess-room of the Royal Marines. At a dinner of the Worcestershire Agriculture Association, held on Wednesday at Worcester, Lord Northwick in the chair. Sir Joni PAKINOTON, after explaining that he thought the rule excluding politics applied merely to party politics, spoke on American affairs : " He did not believe that in Europe there was any one who had a head to think and a heart to feel who had not been filled with horror at the manner in which human blood was being shed, human misery being created, and every element of national pros perity being destroyed in that aimless and profitless war, with a recklessness which caused feelings of the deepest disapprobation in Europe. He believed that those feelings were universal, and he main ' tained that he was Not violating their rule, that he was not touching upon party matters, when, as an avowed opponent of the present Government, he said that he was perfectly willing to give the pre sent Government credit for the caution with which they acted in this delicate matter. He imputed no blame to them, he acknowledged the great difficulty of the question which they had had to decide ; but, on the other hand, they had all a right to thing for themselves, and he spoke for himself alone, when he said thct he considered that the time was now come when some efforts ought to be made by the great Powers of Europe to put an end to that fearful struggle. He thought the time had come when, not England alone, but England in conjunction with France, and if possible with Russia, ought to offer mediation, of course upon the basis of separation, and with a clear understanding that if mediation was not successful recognition of the South must follow. (Hear.) He could not but express the hope with which he had read that day the telegraph summary of the words which fell from one of her Majesty's Ministers, from Mr. Gladstone, at Newcastle- He was deeply struck, as it was possible they had all been struck, with the expres sion in the telegraphic summary—that Mr, Jeffer son Davis had created a nation in the Southern States of America. These words, as coming from the lips of a Cabinet Minister, were words of great significance, and he hoped he was not too sanguine in drawing from them the inference that the present feeling of her Majesty's Government did not differ very widely from that feeling which he had now taken the liberty of expressing. (Hear.) They must remember their own interests ; irrespective of general feelings of humanity, and he might say the general feelings of civilised nations, there were spe cial interests immediately touching the welfare of the country. There was a vast district which had hitherto been one of the most prosperous parts of the country, while thousands of men were suddenly, and w ithout any fault of their own, thrown into deep suffering by this unfortunate and terrible war. He that he fully sympa from the n ews p apers t c h o e l e d d no with r e f w r a h i a n t from he l e s a a r y n i e n d g had been said by Mr. Disraeli at a meeting similar to that one, which was held at Buckingham, where he expressed a hope that the landed interest would not be indifferent to the sufferings of their Lance. shire fellow-countrymen. They had every reason to be thankful. After a cold and wet summer, which had caused much alarm, they had had a won derfully fine harvest. What was the result of that harvest in actual produce it would be premature to say, but at all events he thought they might say this—if it was not generally satisfactory throughout the country, Worcestershire had been favoured, so far as his knowledge went, with a very fair har vest ; and, taking the wider view, it was impossible to deny that the agricultural interest of England was now, and had for coma time been, in a state of great prosperity, He would not reopen the question as to whether the fears of the farmers with regard to the passing of the great measure of free trade in corn were exaggerated, but the great influx of gold had enabled them to overcome the dangers which had threatened the agricultural interest. It was for them now to consider that a great number of their fellow-countrymen were in a state of great distress. It was time that the Legislature before they broke up had made provision, as far as the Poor -law could make provision, for that suffering body of their fel low countrymen. But they must recollect that the men who had to pay the rates were also suffering; that it worth' be a painful thing to expose so large a body of men to pauperism ; and that even the as sistance which the Poor-law would dole out to them was so small that this was one of those cases in I which, it the Ulisery continued, public charity might be appealed to, a n d i which he hoped and t ruste d the sympath y of the :hole country would be elicit e d. They all reme m b ered the tim e when want oppressed the agricultural districts , nd when the cotton trade was in the ascenda n t. °l'lr the case was reversed —while the agriculturists were prosperous, the la- The autumn inspection of the Portsmouth Divi sion of Royal Marines Light Infantry, by Major- General Stransham, Inspector-General of the corps, terminated on Wednesday afternoon, on Haslar common. The inspection lasted four days. The first day's inspection was devoted to a strict exa mination of the boys' and girls' schools of the division. The Pay Barrack, Quartermasters', and Pay Captains' Departments were next sub jected to the most searching scrutiny, particular attention being paid to the men's accounts. The ship gun drill battery, manned by privates se lected at random from the division, underwent a lengthened inspection, and the day terminated by an inspection of the party undergoing rifle instruc tion at Brown-down. On Monday a brigade of one battalion of Royal Marine Artillery, and two bat talions of Royal Marine Light Infantry, assembled on Southsea-common (as noticed in The Sun of Tuesday), under command of Col. Ayres, Comman dant Royal Marine Light Infantry, and performed a series of well-executed matceuvres. On Tuesday the captains and subalterns were tested as to their knowledge of manual., platoon, and bayonet exer cise, company and light drills; and subsequently the field officers were called upon to perform seve ral intricate r - Aanceuvres, selected by the Inspector- General, N''..no afterwards lunched with the officers of the division. On Wednesday, at 10 a.m., the divir.;ton, numbering upwards of 1,100 bayonets, formed three sides of a square on the barrack parade. A general examination of the kits took place, fol lowed by sword drill for the subalterns and non commissioned officers, the General selecting the offi cers from among the subalterns to drill. The Gene ral next proceeded to the adjutants' offices, and exa mined the various records and defaulters' books, At 3 p.m. the battalion in line, under Colonel-Com mandant Ayles, received the Inspector-General on Haslar-Common, and went through the usual routine of a field day. At the conclusion the Inspec tor- General expressed his entire approbation of everything he had witnessed. In consequence of the old colours of the 73d Regi ment having been worn out by a service of 21 years her Majesty has been pleased to send a new set to Plymouth. This regiment having been raised origi nally in Perthshire, the title of that county has now been bestowed on it. The regimental colour, which has a ground of dark green, like the facings of the men, has its new title in the centre, surrounded in a circle by the rose, thistle, and shamrock, worked in gold. The upper corner is ornamented with the Union Jack, and the words "Mangalore," " Sering apatam," and " Waterloo" are worked in gold on the ground. The other colour exhibits the crosses of St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick, con joined on a blue field, and has in its centre in gold the Imperial crown and the number of the regiment in bold Roman characters. These standards are lunch lighter and more elegant than their predeces sors.

The concluding lecture of a series on " Electricity bowers in the cotton trade were in a state of the deepest distress and the most painful privation. He hoped that these facts would not be forgotten, and that it would be remembered that in this country when one interest suffered all must suffer, and that they would all work together as one people in this cause. This was a great local distress, and as the agriculturists were in a prosperous condition, they would do what they could to alleviate it. The right hon. gentleman concluded by wishing for the Wor cester Agricultural Society a long continuance in prosperity and success. THE RIGHT HON. SIR E. B. LYTTON, M.P., AT HERTFORD. HERTFORD, THURSDAY. The annual meeting of the Hertfordshire Agri cultural Association took place to-day in this town. The show of stock and implements, &c., took place in a field near the town, and was a very successful one. America—Maryland and Virginia—which possessed the most fertile soil in the world, the yield was of course enormous. But the cultivators were not tenant farmers. They were esquires, they were gen tlemen, and they unhappily forgot manure. They took from the earth the alkalies and salts, and never replaced them. The consequence is that those dis tricts, even now, are so hopelessly sterile that they have been altogether abandoned. Thia shows that the fertility of the soil depends on the nourishment bestowed on it. Gentlemen, I turn from these pros pects—which I hope the agriculturists of this coun try look forward to with confidence—l turn from them to express the deep sorrow with which we must all contemplate the unmerited distress of our fellow-countrymen in the manufacturing districts ; and our sympathy is rendered more active by our heartfelt admiration of the patience and fortitude they have shown. I would fain hope that the princely capitalists of Lancashire, who owe their fortunes to the hands which are now stretched out to them for work or for bread, may show to the world that their gratitude is in some proportion to their wealth. (Hear, hear.) It is not only benevo lence, it is policy, it is wisdom, to win to them selves the hearts of those mechanics at a moment when those hearts are most responsive to acts of kindness. It will strengthen between employers and operatives that tie that never can be loosened without danger, and perhaps with more danger in the great popula tions of the great manufacturing towns than in any other combination of labour and capital. (Hear.) My noble friend has intimated to you that next year we may be called upon to celebrate the nup tials of the heir apparent to the throne. May those nuptials be solemnised under the brightest auspices which can connect the happiness of princes with the felicity of nations. (Cheers.) Several other toasts having been drunk, the pro ceedings terminated. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY :EVENING, OCTOBER 10; 186 g. l . 10s. on the property, which was all she advaneeu asked for. c 'zlined to say whether there had en deceased and himself. been any impropriety betty.. Acts of Parliament; it should rather be regarded as the mouth-piece of the nation—the arena in which the great principles of our domestic, colonial, and foreign policy were promulgated for the satisfaction of our own people at home and the increase of con fidence on the part of foreign nations—the publicity given to the proceedings of the house being the surest guarantee for domestic union and peace abroad. (Cheers) Some reference had been made to the preservation of game. Now a bill had been introduced and had recently become law which was generally spoken of as the Poaching Act ; and he regretted to say that there was a very strong oppo sition to that act in the House of Commons. He himself supported that bill. (Hisses and cheers.) If hon. gentlemen would hear him out he was sure they would themselves agree to the conclusion to which he had come. The opposition to that measure was raised on various grounds, but the principal point to which he wished to refer was this —he believed the bill was not wanted for the county of Norfolk. (Cries of Oh.") It was wanted, however, for counties in the middle of England, and it was for the sake of those counties that he mainly supported the mea sure. (Renewed hisses.) Where it was carried into effect with judgment and discretion it would be of the greatest possible use, not only in support ing laws which has long remained laws ought clearly to be supported, but it would also have the effect indirectly of preventing many positive crimes intimately connected with violations of the laws to which he had referred. The bill was also opposed on the ground of expense ; but he believed that in Norfolk, which had a chief constable of great judg ment and discretion, there was nothing to fear on that head. Upon the new highway bill he need not say anything, as it rested with the ratepayers whether they put it into force or not. Another act passed would be of the greatest use in preventing collisions between class and class, so far as rating was concerned ; he referred to the Parochial Assess ment Act, which was the first of two years' legis lation in the House of Commons. Great trouble had been taken with that measure, and the house had also been impartial, as the act would impose no slight trouble upon the counties concerned. (Laughter.) An amusing episode had been intro duced in relation to the pig and the pig feeder, and to the corresponding relation between constituents and their representatives. Whatever might be the support given by the constituent to his representa tive, the position of the latter was not a bed of roses, as the very high position of an M.P. involved danger and disgrace, if he did not use every effort to promote the interests of his constituents, and through them of the community at large. ,Cheers.)

GABIBALDIAN RIOT AT BIRKENHEAD. ATTACK ON A CHURCH. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) Last evening the township of Birkenhead was the scene of a disgraceful disturbance, in which about three or four thousand Irishmen, composed chiefly of dock labourers, took part. Connected with the township there is a small association called the Parliamentary Debating Society, which met last winter in Brooke-street, in the institute attached to the Holy Trinity Church, of which the Rev. Dr. Baylee is the incumbent. During the last week placards were posted on the walls announcing that the society would meet last evening for the first time this season in the institute, the subject to be discussed being "Sympathy with Garibaldi and Italy." A resolution on this subject, it is said, was to be submitted by the " member for Bristol." This announcement seems to have given umbrage to a portion of the Irish Roman Catholic population of the place, and, following the example of their coun trymen in the metropolis, they determined that the Parliamentary Debating Society should not have an opportunity of expressing sympathy with the great Italian patriot. The door of the institute in Brooke-street was opened at seven o'clock, at the same time that the usual weekly service was to commence in Holy Trinity Church. No sooner was the gas lighted in the schoolroom than a number of rough men, dressed in slops, assembled in front of the building, and from their appearance it was evident that they were bent upon mischief. Only two or three " honourable members" of the society had arrived when a stone was thrown at one of the windows, smashing a pane of glass. Inspector Gregory, who appears to have anticipated a disturbance, now en tered the institute, accompanied by three or four officers, and suggested to the person in charge of the room that the lights should be extinguished, This suggestion was immediately acted upon, it being deemed impossible to hold a meeting under such threatening circumstances. The crowd of ruffians outside rapidly increased, and in a few minutes there were some thousands of - people on the spot, many of whom were women and children. Although the lights in the institute were extin guished, stones and other missiles were thrown at the windows, and whenever a smash of glass took place it was accompanied with " Three cheers for the Pope." Mr. Superintendent Birnie and nearly the whole police force of the township were promptly on the ground, but the efforts of 40 or 50 officers to disperse the crowd were of no avail, Upon addressing the mob the superintendent was hooted, and it required the greatest discretion on his part to prevent a collision between his men and the rioters—a collision in which the police, from the paucity of their number, must certainly have been worsted. in Military Operations" was delivered to the officers and men of the Royal Engineers at headquarters, Chatham, yesterday, by Capt. H. Schaw, the head of the electrical department. On Tuesday next Lieut.-Col. T. B. Collinson will comme.ice a course of lectures on « Tue Construction of Barracks"—a subject to which he has devoted considerable atten tion, A further discharge of time-expired and disabled cavalry and infantry troops took place from St. Mary's invalid establishment, Chatham, yesterday. . Since the commencement of the manufacture of the heavier species of Armstrong and other guns in Woolwich Arsenal it has been found necessary to increase the weight and size of the blocks or anvils of the huge steam hammers used in the welding system of the coils, one of the blocks, weighing 35 tons, having been broken under the increaFed power required. A new block was cast yesterdayunder the superintendence of Mr. Fraser,d irector of the Royal gun factories. As the metal reached the required heat at 1 o'clock in the morning, the whole of the hands had to attend at that hour. The volume of boiling metal, weighing upwards of 50 tons, was then drawn from the various crucibles, termed cupolas," and was received in a capacious and well-heated furnace, whence, after remaining six hours, it was again drawn off and run into the mould pit. It was there buried up in black sand, to cool gradually, which process will occupy no less than four or five weeks. 7IIE SECOND MARSHLAND INUNDATION KING'S LYNN, THVRSDAY. Yesterday another step was taken to exclude the tide, by the formation of an earth dam about 400 yards above the fen drain sluice, and the same dis tance below the sack and pile dam at St. Mary's bridge, This could not be commenced until the morning's tide had fallen several feet, and the site site for the work was the subject of great contro versy, several contending that it ought to be much nearer the sluice, where the banks are higher. However, the decision of the stronger party was in favour of the spot indicated, and 500 men and 50 or 60 carts were set to work under the direction of farmers and engineers, and by the evening a solid dam, 20 or 25 feet wide at the summit, had been made. The cradge banks on either side of the drain were also raised as high as it was thought necessary. The evening tide, however, 17ft. 6in, above zero, was about six inches higher than the banks, and consequently again poured over into the Marshland sewer, and in addition over the bank on the other side. This morning's tide was higher again, some 18ft. 3in. above zero, and once more overflowed the cradges. The men are now employed in raising and puddling these, a labour which it is obvious might have been saved by making the dam nearer the sluice_ The inundation has not exceeded the limits already mentioned, but has rather subsided from the high land by running off through the drains. Many of these in the interior of the country have been now closed and demanded to prevent the ad mission of more water. It is strongly hoped that this evening's tide will be excluded by the raising of the banks now going on ; and if so, " the country " (as fen men say) is safe for the present from further disaster. The " flitting" from the houses in the fen, however, still continues, in anticipation of the worst. Some of the poor people had only just returned to their homes, from which they were driven by the last inundation. SIR JOHN PAKING7ON ON AMERICA. At the dinner, which took place in the Town-hall in the evening, the Marquis of Salisbury presided, and was supported by the following noblemen and gentlemen :—The Earl of Vernlam, Lord Delawarr, Sir E. B. Lytton, M.P., Mr. Giles Puller, M.P., Mr. Abel Smith, M.P., Lord Eustace Cecil, &c. The usual loyal toasts haring been proposed, Mr. SIIRTEES proposed " The Health of the County and Borough Members." Sir E. L. B. LYTTON on rising, was received with loud and continued cheering. He said—My Lords and Gentlemen,—ln rising to return thanks for the honour you have just conferred upon me and my colleagues, I am reminded that the first occasion on which I took part in the public affairs of this county was at an agricultural meeting similar to the present, held in this very town, and in the room in which we are now assembled. When I look round, I see among the younger generation still many faces with which I then first formed an acquaintance, and owing, I presume, to the salu brious habits and peaceful conscience which belong to agricultural pursuits, I see amongst those faces so little of the wear and tear of time, that I could almost fancy it was yesterday when my health was first drunk by the farmers of Hertfordshire. Yet the years which have elapsed since that day have wit nessed events so stirring that they constitute one of the most remarkable epochs in the history of the world. Gentlemen, before I come to the subject to which I shall afterwards address myself, let me pause for a moment, and consider what those events have been. Since then France has undergone three revolutions—the fall of the Constitutional Mo narchy, the stormy interlude of a Democratic Re public, and the restoration of a milder Empire. The old rulers of Lombardy, of Tuscany, and of Naples have disappeared, and the map of the world has been altered to admit of the introduction of the kingdom of Italy. Austria, long the haughtiest representative of the principle of absolute mo narchy, has commenced the experiment of Con stitutional Government, and Russia has laid the foundation of a new policy and social existence in recognising the value of free labour, and abolishing the institution of serfdom. China has opened her ports to our merchants, and her capital to our ambassadors. We ourselves have gone through the calamities of war in the siege of Sebastopol and the suppression of the In dian revolt, and we have been twice reminded this evening that the great Republic, which boasted a superb exemption from the perils and the evils which beset ancient States and monarchical forms of government, has been violently rent in twain ; and whatever may be the issue of that struggle, in which we see at present only a lavish expenditure of blood and treasure, still there is no dispassionate bystander who can believe that the Union can ever be restored, and no far-sighted politican who can suppose that the curse of slavery can long survive that separation, of which it is the most ostensible, though not the only, nor perhaps the most powerful cause. (Hear.) Such important events, all leading to effects so vast, and so permanent in their relation to the advancement of the human race, have pro bably never before occurred within so short a space of time as that which has elapsed since I first ad dressed you in this room. After referring to the progress of agricultural science, the right hon. bart. continued—Now I see that, in the agricultural meetings that have taken place elsewhere, great stress has been laid by eminent speakers upon the importance of utilising the sewage of towns for agricultural purposes. Lord Derby, who is himself a high agricultural authority, has done much on this head, first by the very remarkable speech he lately made at Preston, in which he stated the re sults of the experiments made at the Wellington College, according to the plan of the filter or tank invented by the late Prince Consort ; and, next, he has done much by the prize he has offered to any company which shall utilise liquid manure of the sewage of any district comprising 4,oooinhabitants. (Hear.) Mr. Gladstone, also, with that acuteness of mind accustomed to seize the strong points of any question that he takes up, has directed his attention to a means of producing wealth which, though it is sufficiently familiar to some other countries, has been very singularly neglected in our own. Why, my lord, I remember, when I held the Colonial seals, the toil and trouble that it cost to get a very scanty supply of guano from some distant island, while, all the time, close at hand, a few of the sewers of London were casting into the Thames more than half a million sterling worth of manure, more valuable for the general pur poses of agriculture than that guano which ships were fitting out to bring home, in order that it should be retailed at a price which rather fitted it for the dealing of an apothecary than for the fields of a farmer. I say that at least half a million was thus thrown away in some of the sewers of London, and I believe that to be a very narrow estimate of the real waste that is constantly taking place ; for I find that in Flanders, where I was the other day, the value of the sewage is estimated according to the numerical population in towns at so much a head, viz., £1 7L, and in Belgium it is estimated still higher, so that, taking the population of Lon don at 2,000,000, there is upwards of two million of the national wealth exclusively devoted to poison the waters of the Thames, and to add to the dis eases of our metropolitan subjects. We might upon this question take a lesson from China. Every one knows the extraordinary rapidity with which the Chinese bring the very worst soil into cultivation ; and the enormous crops which they take from, com paratively speaking, a handful of land have been the wonder and the admiration of all travellers in that country. What is the secret of the Chinese P Why, their main secret consists in the utilisation of the sewage, and the proverbial fertility of Belgium is attributable to the same cause. It is, however, not only in the metropolis that this waste goes on, but also in the rural towns, though I can say without compliment that there isin the rural towns a greater energy and a more just and intelligent desire to find a remedy for the evil than seem to be manifested by city aldermen or metropolitan boards. Considering the number of populous towns which there are in this country I do say that I wish we could find a few enlightened, enterprising Enlishmen to enrich its population by sell, and farm ers b y manu m re a w nu h r i o ch w t h h i e o t h o t w h n ey s w w o o u u l l d d gladly gladly purchase. Until some such system is adopted we must fall back on our old friend, farmyard dung. I suppose we Mlle agree that Professor Levi is right, on the whole, when ho says that the art of all real repro ductive husbandry is in the skilful application of manure. I recollect that David Hume, the philoso let s i m s a a y t s e , l y all no the ot h a e p r p a o r b a j t e u c s t i r aon en e t ha ofh s u is o op r th. oe p ur u 'r r s p Ga o yo s sv e enm than the administration of justice, or in other wor.,wse,lll:einstahyos, samo than tmhaenosuoprphoortmoifgthhtesaly2 the vast apparatus of our f arms judges. ultimately no other object or purpo se th an the h th a a s t ul t t h im e distribution of justice to the land, or in other words, in the application of that manure which may give back to the soil the nutriment which it takes from it, or supply those nourishing properties which na ture has neglected to restore. Eight hundred years ago there was a very learned dispute whether or not the earth was an animal; but I think we have now discovered that the earth is so far animal that it re quires to be fed and win not be starved. There is a very remarkable instance of this mentioned by a great practical agricUlturist. In certain districts of NORTH WALSHAM AG.RICUL7U.RAL SOCIETY. NORTH WALSHAM, OCT. 9. The annual meeting of this society was held last ev3ning in this pleasant little Norfolk town, Lord Suffield presiding. It was expected that the pro- ceedings would have been enlivened with a speech from Lord Wodehouse, late Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, but the noble lord's other engage ments prevented his attendance. Among those pre sent, however, were Mr. E. Howes, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M,P., Sir H. Robinson, Major-General Windham, Admiral the Hon. E. T. Wodehouse, Capt. Windham, R.N., the Hon. W. R. Rous, the Hon. W. Harbord, &c. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were proposed from the chair and warmly responded to. Admiral WODEHOUSE replied on behalf of the navy. Major-General WINDHAM, in replying for the army, observed that as a soldier he had always felt proud in having his name coupled with the volun teers. Many gentlemen present would no doubt remember that when he returned from the Crimea he thought it his duty to write a letter to the lord lieutenant of the county, strongly urging the im portance of some sort of military organisation. That letter met with approval, but the system which he recommended had not been exactly car ried out. Volunteers had, however, sprung up in every direction, and he had much pleasure in expressing his conviction that they were a noble body of men, and that the movement was altogether one of the finest things which he had witnessed during the whole course of his life. (Cheers.) Some men would say, " But do you be lieve that if a large body of foreign troops were to land in this country an equal body of volunteers would be of any use to meet them ?" Well, he had seen enough of fighting to know that it was, to say the least of it, a very uncertain trade ; and, there fore he would give no answer to the question. Of one thing, however, he was quite certain, viz., that the volunteers would make a much better fight of it after the drill and the military associations which they had than if they had been taken direct from the plough at the moment they were wanted. (Cheers.) From the militia, too, the army had re ceived some of its very best soldiers, and as regards the navy, it was needless to add that without that valuable service nothing could be done Mr. C. BUXTON, M.P., responded for the volun teers, and said he had listened with much pleasure to the flattering terms in which his comrades had spoken of so distinguished a member of the regular service as Gen. Windham. It was moreover, plea sant to respond to the toast at North Walsham, be cause he understood there was a corps in course of formation in the town. He was sure they were not actuated by the same motives as the people of a certain town in Staffordshire, who agreed to esta blish a corps, but who put in the proviso that they were not to be called out in the case of invasion. (Laughter.) Gen. Windham had expressed an opinion that the volunteers would be found useful should an enemy attack us; and he (Mr. Buxton) was glad to be able to corroborate that opinion from the lips of such an eminent officer as Lord Clyde. A very distinguished gentleman who was present at the battles of the Alma and Inkerman was with Lord Clyde at the Brighton review, and asked his lordship what he thought of the volun teers. Lord Clyde gave the significant an swer, " There have been thirty-five battalions on the ground, and full thirty of them were as good as anything could be." (Cheers.) While looking at the show in the course of the day he could not help feeling that were an enemy to land agricul turists would not only have to fight for their hearths and homes, but also for their beasts and pigs. (Laughter.) He was particularly struck with the latter, and he only wished farmers could go to Italy and Greece and see the creatures that were there called pigs, and which were something like a cross between a panther and an antelope. (Laughter.) These pigs were looked upon by the human race as enemies, but here they were treated as dear friends —(laughter)--and he was afraid they were even looked upon with more respect than members of Par liament. (Loud laughter.) He thought the meet ing ought to have some discussion upon agricultural subjects, and even upon the preservation of game. (Hear.) Upon one question he should certainly like to hear opinions expressed. Last session a bill was introduced into Parliament by the Poor- Law Board by which parish authorities were to be enabled to establish friendly societies in a parish, and to afford a contribution to such societies of 2i per cent. on the deposits made, and also to guaran tee the ultimate payments in case of age or sickness. The bill was not carried, bat it would very pro bably be brought in again next session. It appeared to him that serious evils would result from such a measure, for nothing was more probable than that if a parish were made responsible for the proceed ings of an independent friendly society, it would entail heavy burdens upon the ratepayers. Still it would be a great advantage to the poor themselves and to ratepayers if they could be induced to lay by against "a rainy day ;" but instead of parishes contributing out of the rates to independent societies he would suggest whether the object would not be better gained by adopting some such principle as that of the Post-office Saving Banks, the parishes appointing one of their own officers to collect deposits and to pay out, in case of age or sickness, a due amount on a properly calculated basis. By this means pauperism would probably be gradually diminished, and parishes would incur no risk except perhaps from the occasional defalcations of some of their officers. This plan, moreover, would lead to no expense, as the cost of working it might be ar ranged for in the calculations ; it would afford the poor man an opportunity of placing his savings in perfect security instead of being as now f re quently defrauded of them, and what was perh a p s better than all it would prevent the waste of a lar g e por tion of the deposits in beer drinking. ( Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave " The County Members." (Cheers.) Mr. E. HowEs, l'vl.P., in acknowledging the com pliment, said it must have been observed of late that at agricultural meetings, members of Parliament had not only taken upon themselv es to g ive an ac count of their own individua l stewardships, but also to make excuses for the House of Commons itself because of its so-called inactivity. Now, it must be seen readily enough that the House of Commons was not a mere workshop for the manufacture of EXTRAORDINARY .RELIGIOUS MANIA IN ST. GILES'S WORKHOUSE. Yesterday Dr. Lankester, the Central Middlesex coroner, held at inquest at the Old King's Arms, Short's-gardens, St. Giles's, on the body of a lunatic inmate of St. Giles's Workhouse, named Robert Russell, aged 38. James Rankley, the master of St. Giles's Work house, deposed that deceased was brought into the house on the night of last Tuesday week, by the police, who said they found him in the street. He was insane, but not of a violent character. Witness knew nothing more of his antecedents. On Thurs day night he was called into the yard and saw de ceased standing nearly on the top of a ladder 46 feet high. Witness persuaded him in every possible way to come down, but he remained stationary, saying prayers in a most fervent manner. He then sent up a man to bring him down, but he only went up higher. Witness requested the man to come down. Russell remained at the top of the ladder for half an hour, praying all the time. At length he sprang up three spokes higher, and in a frantic attitude he let go with his hands, gave a spring backwards, and fell violently on the ground. Since his ad mission to the workhouse he exhibited great reli gious mania and melancholy. He was not par ticularly looked after, because he did not threaten to lay violent hands upon himself, or exhibit any appearance of violence. Mr. Bennett, the resident medical officer, stated that he saw him the morning after admission. He appeared to be harmless, and suffering under a delusion that fistula, which he had, must destroy his life, and that his neglect of himself would de stroy his soul. He was properly cared for in every way, and had a warder and a helper to look after him, but who were not instructed to follow him about. He died immediately after his fall, his skull being literally smashed to pieces. _ . _ A friend of deceased was examined, and said that he saw deceased five weeks ago in the street sane. His only relation, an aunt, lived in Nottingham- shire. Verdict—Suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind. THE ALLEGED SEDUC7 lON AND SUICIDE OF A MARRIED WOMAN. Yesterday Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, resumed, at the Gos sett Arms Tavern, Gossett-street, Hackney-road, the inquiry respecting the death of Mrs. Amelia Castle, who committed suicide under very painful circumstances. It will be recollected that it was alleged on the previous occasion that the deceased bad been led to destroy herself through having been induced to form an improper connection with an individual who was married, and who subsequently slighted and cast her off after her character had been compromised. The inquiry was then adjourned for the production of the party in question. On the Court re-assembling, Henry Holdane said that he had known deceased for 12 years, and had visited her sometimes in the absence of her husband at her house. At times no persons accompanied him there. He went there to take tea, and generally left at 7or 8 o'clock. She sometimes came to see him, but that was because she washed for him. Witness was aware deceased did not take in work for others. She had worked for him for the last three years. Ho never got any receipts for payment, consequently he had none to show. She cooked for him on two occasions only. Witness was a married man, but had been separated from his wi'e for three years. Deceased sometimes came to him for a shilling or two on account, as she was without food. She had on one occasion brought witness cooked food, but that was two years ago, and he paid her for it. The last time she visited witness was the Monday week previous to her com mitting suicide. She was then in a very excited state, and witness thought she had been drinking. She came to say that she could not work for hi m any more. That was because he had found fault with her then, and he used not before. Witness had not got tired of her, he only wanted her to do her work properly, Is he paid her liberally. He would swear that she had never stoPPed with him until 11 or 12 o'clock at night. On one occasion she stopped to mind the house for the landlady until 2 o'clock in the morning. Witness, however, was not then in the house. On Thursday previous to her suicide she came and taxed him with having a watch belonging to her, and other things, and said I that his landlady had besides a gola watch of hers, and was then wearing it. Witness did not believe that the landlady had it. Witness never knew deceased to have a watch of her own. She also charged him with having other property—a bed, some prints, a tea tray, a set of fire irons, and other things. Deceased had brought the whole of the property at different times to his rooms in his ab sence to dispose of it. Witness knew )f it. She had not brought a silver watch, but a duplicate of a watch. Witness was aware it was a very serious matter to receive the property of deceased's hus band. The watch now produced from his pocket he took out of pledge, and paid her a shilling at a time, 3 s. in all ; 13s. the watch cost him altogether. Wit ness had not been intimate with deceased's husband for five years past. The Coroner—But w hile you were re ce i v i ng carpets and prints, and watches and trink e t s clan destinely from his The case is a most scan dalous one. 'Witness said be bad sent deceased back with other property. He did not wish for the property- lie During the attack on the institute, the congre gation in the church in front were greatly alarmed and the service had to be abruptly terwinated. After the attack upon the institute, the mob, which had by this time vastly increased in numbers, ad journed to Price-street, and began to throw stones at the windows of the sacred edifice. Tremendous cheers for the Pope followed the breaking of the glass. Whilst the Rev. Joseph Baylee (son of Dr. Baylee)and the curate of the church were speaking to Inspector Gregory, the latter was struck with a missile on the face, and a body of police had to escort both gentlemen from the ground. Fortunately the Rev. Father Brundritt and the Rev< Father Golding made their appearance in Price • •street about 8 o'clock. After remonstrating with the mob on the impropriety of their conduct, the reverend gen tlemen succeeded in persuading the greater portion of them to disperse. The priests were lustily cheered, and were followed by the rioters to the north end. Up to a late hour, Price-street, Watson-street, and other thoroughfares in the neighbourhood re mained in a very disturbed state, and the police kept patrolling the streets. It is to be regretted that none of the ringleaders were taken into custody, and it is to be feared that the police will not be able to identify any of them. It was impossible last night to form an accurate idea of the quantity of glass demolished in the in stitute and the church ; but it was supposed that at least 300 panes had been broken. The greatest alarm prevailed in the township during the disturbance ; and much indignation was expressed by the respectable inhabitants at the dis graceful conduct of the anti-Garibaldians. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— Oct. 9. MARYLE B ONE. CLEVER CONDUCT OF A SERVANT. —George Scan nel, aged 19, described as of no occupation, residing at 16, Elizabeth-terrace, Liverpool-road, was charged with the following new and novel mode of robbery of plate. Miriam Pitman, being sworn, said—l am house maid to Dr. Joseph Skelding, of 16, Euston-square. About eight o'clock the prisoner came to the door and said that master was wanted to attend a lady in Chapman-street, who had been taken suddenly ill, at the same time giving a name and number of the street. I left the prisoner in the hall whilst I went and communicated to my mistress, and she not knowing either the name or the street sent me to make further inquiries about the lady. As I came down stairs I looked over the bannisters, and saw prisoner coming out of the dining-room. When I came to the hall I did not tell him what I had seen, but walked straight to the street-door and placed my back against it. The prisoner then stood in front of me, and I questioned him about the lady whom he said he had come from, when he inquired " What is the doctor's name here ?" and on being told he expressed surprise, and said he had no doubt come to the wrong place. I said you need not be surprised, I believe you have, and asked him what he went into the dining-room for. To this he said he had never been in there, and I said it will not do for you to tell me that ; but just give me the plate you have taken from the dining room table. He swore at me and said he had not got any, when I turned round to ring the surgery bell to get the cook to assist me. Whilst I was so doing prisoner threw down a bag, and catching hold of me, tried to throw me, but on my scuffling with him he was only able to push mu on one side, when he rusher; out at the door, an'd I followed about six yards in the rear, calling " Stop thief," when he was captured and brought back to the house., Hall, 264 S, said he was fetched to the prisoner, and took the silver plate from his different pockets that had been taken from the dining-room table, and which was identified by the previous witness. A young man who captured the prisoner, and who carries luggage from the omnibuses to the London and North-Western Railway, was called, but his evidence not being requisite, Mr. Mansfield awarded him 2s. 6d. Prisoner was asked if he had any questions to put, and replied—Oh, no; it is no use my saying anything in my defence, the evidence is too con clusive. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week, and said—Miriam Pitman, you have acted with great courage and sense, and I certainly do hope that your master and mistress will reward you for saving their property in the Way you did. LAMBETH.—SYSTEMATIC FRAUDS—William Nixon, an elderly man, described as a labourer, and Mary Nixon, his wife, were charged before Mr. Elliott with a series of frauds upon several furni ture-dealers and upholsterers, carrying on business in Great Charlotte -street, Blackfriars-road. Mr. Joseph Phillips, of 5, Great Charlotte-street, deposed that the female prisoner had been employed by him for the last 18 months to make up carpets, and that a b ou t a fortnight ago he g ave her a roll of carp e t, conta ining 49,1 yards, to make up , which she promised to effect b y the following Saturday ' t e o i ghhetr. residence Asthe in Duke-street, workwassnoete, Westminster-road, b t roughtin ; he went when she made some excuse for th delay which for the time satisfied him ; but e nform a ti, from ion he received from his neighbours IVI.r.

Mr. Lockwood, of 67, Great Surrey street, furniture-dealer, deposed that, on the 28th of August he entrusted the female prisoner with about 50 yards of carpeting to make up. It wa, a not returned, and, on his making inquiries, she admitted his property had been pledged, and on this he g aye information to Mr. Phillips, the last witnees- Mr. Ed win Edmonds, ot 75, New-cut, upholster ?a., proved that he gave the female prisoner carceti 4 g to the value of 34e., which it was found had bee; a of by her in the same way. t Sheppurd, 2L, proved that he took' the! n into custody, when the female gave •erp all relating t ree the property. disposes of offence, and expsed her sorrow tl is t she had been g -uilty of such conduct. The m ale' prisoner denied al.: a l d 3 m d i t u t P e l d i e tt e t s know ledge of his wife's proce ed. ings, being occupied et hit; own work as a labourer.. A host of pawn'orokers' assistants produced the property, and identified the i c emale prisoner as being , the individual by whom it had been pledged, a process she had effected almost immediately it came into her hands. The male prisoner now repeatet; his ignorance of what his wife had do`ne. Toe female prisoner, however, acknowledged her guilt. Mr. Elliott discharged the man, but convicted the female prisoner of illegally pawning, and sen tenced her, in the case of 111 r. Phillips, to pay a fine of 405., together with £4 in 45,, the va It fu e one of ;,he property pledged, or , defau, monl,h's imprisonment, with t: and labour; in th e case of Mr. Lockwood, to pay a e int) of 405., with £2 145., tbe value of the property, or, in default, one month's imprisonment ; and, in the case of Mr. Edmonds, a fin, of 40s. in addition to Xi 145., the value, or one month's iMprisonment. THAMES.—AnDteeTION.—Henry Bowyer, a slaughterman, aged 22, in the employ of his brother, a master butcher in Charlotte-street, New-road, Whitechapel, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with unlawfully decoying from her home Caroline Julia Nunn, under the age of 16, for the purpose of seduction. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the proeecu lion ; Mr. Charles Young defended the prisoner. The evidence given confirmed that peoduced at the first investigation, and additional re •nof WilS given of the heartless and ruffianly condoct of the prisoner. It appeared that when he directed: the girl Nunn, who was 14 years of age on the Ist inst., to leave her home, he told her to bring her clothes with her, and said, "Don't stand any of your father-in-law's nonsense." The same night he took her to a music-hall, and after plying her with drink at various public-houses and making her in sensibly drunk, he took her to a coffee-house in the Whitechapel-rodd, where he suced her, and re- mained with here 11 night. Her mother, who was labouring under great anxiety, went in search of her daughter, and took her home. Some days after wards the prisoner in duced the girl to leave her home again, and conveyed her to an infamous bro thel in John's-place, Stepney, where he visited her, and boasted to a loose woman in the house, and in a coarse and vulgar manmer, that he had qualified her for the pavement. T:he mother found. her child in the brothel, and took her home a second time. She met the prisoner on the way, and reminded him that after he had taken the girl out in his brother's horse and cart on Sun day, the 14th inst., to Forest-gate ,1n back, she had told him the girl was only 14 years of age, and for bade him ever taking her out again. The prisoner put on a defiant air, and gave utteranoe to a good deal of vulgar abuse. Police-constable Samuel Farthing, 133 H, said the prisoner was given into his custody OA the let inst., by Mrs. Mercy Stenson, the mother of the girl, who charged Bowyer with decoying the girl from her home and seducing her, The prisoner said he had not seen the girl for a fortnight. Wit ness said, " That's the night you slept with the girl at the coffee-house." The prisoner said, " Yes. I did sleep with her." He said, " Did not her mother warn you of her age, and say she was not 14 years old ?" The prisoner said, " Yes, she told me something about her being 14, but I would not believe it, if she were to swear it for a wee k." He then took the prisoner to the station-house. The girl did not appear, and the prisoner was released. On the Friday following, from infor mation received, and by order of his inspector, he took the prisoner again, and said to him, " Have you not seen the girl since Tuesday night ?" lie said, " Yes, I saw her, and gave her" Mr. Woolrych said police-constables had no right to Vest ion prisoners in their custody. Judges, magistrates, and coroners, were not allowed to in terrogate acc,'lsed parties, and it was highly repre• hensible for p olice officers of any grade to do it. This most objeettionable practice had been repro bated over and over again in the course of the twenty-two years t he had been at the bar. He (Mr. Woolrych) had condemned the practice of policemen questioning prisoners until he was tired of doing so. A police-constable who arrested a prisoner should make him acquainted with the charge and hear what he had to say, not put questions. All his complaints had been disregarded. He wanted evi dence of facts, not of conversations. Mr. Charles Young agreed in all that had fallen from the magistrate. He lied frequently heard the judges condemn the system of police-officers questioning prisoners. Mr. Stoddart—l am aware it is decidedly illegal. I wish to take this opportunity of saying that the girl Nunn made a mistake when she gave her evi dence last week. She said the prisoner took her to the Moon coffee-house. It was the Sun enffee-housep Whitechapel-road, next door to the Moon, where the prisoner seduced tke girl after he had decoyed her from her home. Mr. Woolrych —The proprietor of the Moon will have the benefit of your explanation, and the San must bear the blame. I shall now commit the pri soner for trial at, the next Old Bailey Sessions, for the abduction of a girl under 16 years of age. Bail was offered for the prisoner and accepted.
