BANQUET TO MR. PEABODY. Yesterday the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained in the Egyptian-hall at the Mansion house Mr. G. Peabody, whose recent princely gift of £150,000 to the poor of the metropolis has so largely earned for him the gratitude of its inhabi tants. - - - - On the removal of the cloth, " The Healths of her Majesty, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," were proposed, and were re ceived with enthusiasm. ,L The Healths of the Army, Navy, and Volun teers" were next proposed, and were responded to by Major-General Malcolm, Captain Buratal, and Colonel Forbes. The LORD MAYOR then rose and said,—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—l have now to propose the health of a very distinguished gentleman on whom the city of London has to-day conferred the honour which she holds in reserve for those who, by great merit and extraordinary deeds have won not. only her esteem but the approbation of the world. (Cheers.) I may well be proud of the privilege of entertaining a guest so eminent and so well worthy of the honour as is Mr. Peabody. (Cheers.) It has been from time to time the lot of successive Lord Mayors to pre side in this hall on occasions on which the City of London does honour to distinguished men, but this is, I believe, the first time on which the chief magistrate of this ancient corporation has had the opportunity of assembling a large com pany like the present to reeognise and acknow ledge merit such as that which we are now met to honour. (Cheers.) Mr. Peabody has per formed the crowning act of an honourable career. With generous and unalloyed philanthropy he has at once divested himself of a portion of his well-acquired wealth, preferring that the objects of his broad and vast benevolence should im mediately participate in the beneficial and amelio rating influence of his princely liberality to de ferring it to an indefinite period. (Hear, hear.) I am very happy to find that he who has con ferred so great a benefit on the metropolis is able to appear among us this evening in a state of health as good as that which Mr. Peabody enjoys and I think I may say for those around, as I sincerely say it for myself, that we hope we may for a very long period have the gratification of knowing that his ample munificence has been pro ductive of the good which he contemplated, and that he may enjoy the consciousness that the noble deed he has done will, from generation to genera tion to come, prove a living monument of his ne.me and character. (Cheers.) Mr. PEABODY, who in rising to respond to the , toast, was loudly cheered, said,—My Lord Mayor, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I beg to express to you the most grateful feelings of my heart for the warm and enthusiastic welcome with which my name has been received (cheers), preceded as it was by the too flattering remarks of my right hon. friend the Lord Mayor. Persons in every situation of life enjoy the hope of success or tremble at real or imaginary calamities, and none mere so than the merchant, At the same time I, as a merchant, avow from a full and grateful heart, that the high honour this day bestowed upon me by the city of London, as well as the kind hospi tality of your Lordship in bringing together this distinguished company in compliment to my humble name this evening, goes far to compensate me for all the labour, care, and anxiety of 50 years of commercial life. (Cheers.) Within the last few hours I have had the honour to address your Lord ship and many of those before me in the council chamber, and were I to say more at present it would be merely to repeat what I there expressed, and to take up the time which rightfully belongs to the eminent gentlemen who may speak after me. I shall simply, therefore, again beg to thank you for your kind reception, which I am proud to acknowledge as an evidence of your approval of my acts. (Cheers.) As I do not claim to be an orator, I ask you to ac cept on this occasion my deeds for my words. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then said—The administration of a fund so large and so important as the splendid donation of Mr. Peabody necessarily requires that men of station, of influence, and of probity should be selected for the performance of that duty. I am now about to propose the health of five gentlemen who have kindly undertaken a task so full of labour. You can easily imagine that the dispensation of the interest of £150,000 involves no small amount of , anxiety on the part of those on whom is imposed the burden of its due distribution, and I am sure you will feel proportionately grateful to those who have not hesitated to accept the position of becoming its administrators. They who have done so are Lord Stanley—(cheers)—Sir E. Tennent, Mr. Lampson, Mr. Morgan, and the American Minister for the time being—the gentleman who represents America being Mr. Adams. You will perhaps, in proposing this toast, permit me to state that I should be happy to be able to announce that the greatest anxiety with which Mr. Adams has to contend is that which re sults from the administration of this fund. I however am not in a position to do so, and if I allude to the present state of the great country which it is his pri vilege here to represent, I can assure you I do so with the greatest sorrow and sympathy so far as relates to the unhappy position in which she is placed. If that position arose from any difference between America and England, we might, I feel confident, safely trust to the diplomatic powers of Mr. Adams for its adjustment ; but, as it is, we can only indulge in the hope that the difficulties with which America has to contend may be soon ended, and that we may shortly again enjoy the benefit of that liberal and enlightened intercourse which has hitherto proved so beneficial to both countries. I have the honour to propose " The health of the Trastees of the Peabody Fund." (Cheers.) Mr. ADAMS, in responding to the toast, said—l think it is the great dramatist who makes one of his characters utter the saying that " some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." It seems to me that any chance I may have must come into the same . category as that of Malvolio. A fortuitous concur rence of circumstances has had the effect of putting me here as the representative of my country at the minute when our excellent friend deter mined to announce hi s munificent b ene f ac ti on , and to couple that representative with the first organisation to carry it into practical effect. If re putation be held to consist in the notoriety that one gets, especially among those whom we are told to have always with us, I must admit the pro ess of mine of late is astonis hin g . On the whole, I gr m us e consider myself as in great luck, for the n ame thus acquired has clearly come without a single motion of my own to deserve it. I accept it as a ' , mom from my friend without the least embarrass meat. However serious the trial may be to hi s well-known modesty to receive the homage paid to him today, I shall make no scruple to enjoy my reflected light ; and, unlike him, I shall not blush if I should find it fame. (Cheers.) For- Innate is the man who is hoisted to such a height simply by his accidental association with one of the most magnificent projects of private bene volence recorded lin the annals of mankind. But this may be thought rather trifling for a grave occa sion. Let me, then, turn for a moment to consi der the grander characteristics of this extraordi nary event. The city of London does honour to Mr. Peabody to-day. Why? The reason is that Mr. Peabody has done honour to human nature. (Loud cheers.) 1, on my part, honour Mr. Pea body, because he has done honour to the country that bore him. He stands in a position peculiar to himself as a benefactor to portions of his race on the two continents. (Cheers.) He is eminently the friend of both. world, Born and bred in America, he goes cut into the as most of his countrymen do, the artificer of his own fortune. Successful in his o wn land, afte r a tim e b © careers over the Atlantic on a wider field. Rib native sagacity has traced the rap id grow th of ,ionitnernia enterprise the two shores ; and he comes i theterprise between hope of find ing place for his sickl e at harvest-time. His judgment soun d , in the lapse of 20 years he finds hims elf the g l eaner of s ambition..(Cheers.) tores enough to gratify his u tmost How P The answer is has this happened . simple. It w as by making an honest use of the f r i endly relations existing between the two countries. Mr, Peabody has drawn a legitimate benefit from the expanding trade of the eastern and the western world. His prosperity is, then, the type of the reciprocal bene fit which the respective nations have gained from mutual intercourse. (Cheers.) The zr oral which his career teaches is the advantage of exchanging good will. In practising habits only of kindness and courtesy equally to the people of both nations 1 he inaugurates a policy which promotes their uses ful ends at the same time that it advances his own. That policy is essentially one of peace. Its vital principle is harmony. It eschews malevolence as a spirit of evil, and regards the breeders of strife on either side as downright enemies of the common good. (Cheers.) In quietly facilitat ing a class of operations augmenting in their pecuniary importance with the rapid development of an immense trade, Mr. Peabody, though silent, becomes a most eloquent apostle of permanent peace. By his success, we may form a faint idea of the unity as well as the magnitude of the respective interests which that peace protects. And now that the day has come when our friend feels that he must rest from his labours, he looks back with increasing affection to the scenes whence he drew his prospe rity. With laudable impartiality he determines to mark his sense of it by endeavouring to spread his benefits over them, whether in his native land or in that in which he has made his domicile. Neither does he await that last moment when the goods of this world must cease to be in estimation with us all. He gives at a time when to most of us it seems to be a sacrifice to part with our own. (Cheers.) It is the great orb of heaven, my lord, which, while it shines, gathers slowly to the sky from every ob ject 'in nature those minute particles of vapour which so soon as it sets in the west begin gently to fall down again to refresh and fertilise the parch ing earth. Just so will it be with him you this day honour. The precious grains of metal which the labours of his years of toil have slowly collected will, long after the hour when he shall pass away, come down, sprinkling their blessed fruits for the benefit of successive generations of his kind. All honour, then, to George Peabody. Henceforth his works establish his name as a new bond of sym pathy between two nations, (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed the " Health of the House of Commons," coupling with it that of the House of Lords, of which he said there was no representative present, and the name of Lord Stan ley, one of the trustees of the Peabody Fund. Lord STANLEY said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen,—l hope that in coupling, as you have done, the Houses of Lords and Commons in one toast, you have furnished us with a happy em blem of the unbroken connection which we all trust may continue to exist between both branches of the Legislature. For my own part I have great plea sure in returning thanks on behalf of the House of Commons. It is the pride and happiness of my life to be a member of that body. I know no English gentleman, however exalted may be his position, or however fortunate his career, who does not feel it to be an additional honour to share in the labours and responsibilities of an assembly which, whatever may be its real or alleged defects, is undoubtedly the oldest, the most famous, the most powerful, and the most popular of all representative institutions. You will always find persons who love to exalt the past, to depreciate the present, and to look with anxiety to the future. I have heard such persons say that the power of Parliament over public opinion was declining, and that Parliamentary oratory was no longer what it used to be in former days. From both of those opinions I totally dis sent. I have often had the opportunity of conver sing with men who remember what Parliament was before the days of the Reform Bill of 1832, and, whatever the party might be to which those men belonged, I have always found them admit, with hardly a dissentient voice, that while, at the pre sent day, we have some emineLt men who stand as high in point of eloquence and debating power above the mass as any did in the days of Pitt or Canning, our debates on the average, both as regard matter and manner, are very greatly improved. (Hear.) Again, I have heard complaints of the in action of Parliament during the last two or three years, but I do not think those complaints are as a matter of fact well founded. I believe that a glance at the statute-book would establish the justice of a contrary conclusion ; but, be that as it may, I, for one, do not regard a restless activity las a sign of health any more in a public than [itis an individual body. To complain that we are who are elected by the people, and who are respon sible to the people, have been tranquil when public feeling in general is apathetic is as unjust as it is to find fault with a windmill because it stands still in a calm. (Hear, hear.) There is one word more I would say on behalf of the House of Commons. I have sometimes heard it described—but never by those who knew it—as a body in which wealth and influence and connexion exercise a preponde rating influence. Now, Ido not, of course, deny that these adventitious circumstances do render the entrance to that house easier than would otherwise be the use ; nor do I dispute that sometimes, and to some extent they aid one at the outset of a Par liamentary career. But they do so only at the out set. Every popular assembly is sincere. To be so is its very instinct, and no influence, wealth, or connexion ever, in my opinion, procured for a weak or incapable man the ear of the House of Commons, while a capable man is sure of succeeding in it if to his other talents he only adds perseverance. I have often known the House of Commons to dis cover a man of ability almost before he arrived at the knowledge himself, while I have as often seen gentlemen of provincial celebrity—gentlemen who happen to have a great gift of speech with nothing particular to say—(a laugh) —come among us and immediately find their level ; nay, some discover that their natural position was to remain silent members. (Laughter.) .1 may now perhaps be al lowed to say one word in my capacity as a trustee of Mr. Peabody's fund—a position of which lam not less proud than that of being a member of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Mr. Peabody told you that he relied on your favour rather because of his deeds than of his words. We have all heard the saying with respect to taking "the will for the deed," but I am sure we are glad that in the pre sent instance the proverb has been reversed, and that Mr. Peabody's liberality has been exhibited to us rather in deed than simply in will. (Hear.) We all know that in modern days there has been no gift equal in amount to that of Mr. Peabody's, conferred upon the public in his lifetime. But that which to my mind is of more importance than the magnitude of the gift is that no endowment of equal amount has ever been more wisely appropriated. (Cheers.) Charity in the vulgar sense of the word—l mean the giving alms to those who ask us for aid—is, as \ we all know, except under very exceptional circum stances, apt to create a s muc h di s t ress as it relieves; ' ll4 if a man were to sit down to consider how with a cer tain amount of money he could assist his poorer fellow -treat, e for them the rill s to the greatest extent, and provide :l est amount of happiness, he could not, I think, a INI out better mean s o f e ff ec ti ng his object than th at which Mr. Peabody has adopted. (Cheers.) 13y his nal cull u il lfieent gift, I may add, Mr. Peabody has entitled hi ra lf to the thanks not only a n l g l n a e n d t h , e a t n hp d er e w : e h a nd e t n y Mayoress, , of the peop le of London, b at Onfo I say of England I but all futu re generations of 0:r countrym 1 1 en. (Cheers.) Th e healths of " The Lord May or t h e Magistrates and Sh er iff s of the Cit of London," were nex t p ro p osed, and duly 11, 'l y oured. A selection of vocal music, under the direction of Mr. L. Hatton, assisted by Miss Pole, Master Howden, Mr. G. Perrin, and Mr. C. Beale, wa s performed during dinner.

BRAYS TRACTION ENGINE COMPANY. A deputation from this company waited on Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, yesterday, in one of the committee rooms of the House of Com mons. Amongst the deputation were the Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Caithness, Lord Otho Fitz gerald, Lord C. Hamilton, M.P., Sir W. Jolliffe, Bart., M.P., Sir James Carmichael, Bart., Mr. John Penn (of Messrs. John Penn and Sons), Mr. Field (of Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and Field), Mr. Chaplin (of Messrs. Alex. Chaplin and Co.), Mr. Phillipps (of Messrs. Phillipps, Middleton, and Co.), Mr. H. D. Davies, Mr. C. Osborn, Capt. Grenville Wells, directors ; Mr. D. K. Clarke, C.E., engineer ; and Mr. S. H. Louttil, secretary of the company. Sir W. JOLLIFFE, MX., introduced the deputation to Sir George Grey, Mr. H. D. DAVIES, the chairman of the company, stated that its object was to obtain a reconsideration of the order issued in the London Gazette of the 11th April last, which as it now stands amounts to almost a prohibition of the use of these engines. He said that the engines built heretofore by the com pany were of great size and power, with the view of taking the heaviest loads, and that perhaps from their appearance, and the noise of the exhaust steam, there might exist an objection to their use, in a slight degree, on the ground of frightening horses. These engines, however, were the first built, but new ones were about being constructed which would be rendered entirely unobjectionable on these grounds. What was sought at present was an ex tension of the hours of working from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. in the metropolis, while in the suburbs there should be no limit; also that the engines should be allowed to load and unload throughout the day at the docks, railway stations, &c., or at the Exhibition, e r i The n q u engine w w h a s i c n h o t occasioned c o t h m e p a i n s s y t r s w hen the time arrived for removi ng goo d s f rom th e b o u f i t l h d e in o g rd . but an agricultural engine entering London for the first time on its way to the Exhibition. He in con clusion said that the existence of this order inter fered with the company's prospects, inasmuch as though it affected London only, persons from not understanding this clearly failed to support the company, as they otherwise would, by making investments. The Earl of CAITHNESS said that he had been with one of the company's engines on one occasion when it was drawing a load of 40 tons to the Ex hibition. He went with it through Parliament street, Bridge-street, Victoria-street, &c., in the busy part of the day, and no horse was frightened by or noticed it. Mr. PENN and Mr. FIELD stated that their firms had used these engines from their first introduction with great advantage and economy. They had drawn the heaviest machinery, boilers, &c., which would have required 30 horses,with ease and facility of action, turning the sharpest corners without diffieulty, and they had never caused in the neigh bourhoods of their works (Greenwich and Lambeth) any accident or inconvenience. Mr. PHILLIPPS said that his firm had a number of locomotives to send to the Exhibition for the Austrian and Prussian commissioners, which they had intended to have sent there by means of Bray's traction engines, but the order being issued at that time, they were unable to do so, and were obliged to employ horses at three times the cost, and they had the greatest difficulty in getting their loads to the destination by their means. The engine took less than one-sixth of the room of such a number of horses, and travelled faster. Sir G. GREY promised to take the matter into consideration, after consulting with Sir R. Mayne. He should be glad to see traction engines if they could be used with safety, for of their economy and value he had no doubt; and as the company antici pated having engines which should be unobjection able so far as noise or appearance were concerned, if that result were accomplished there would be no occasion for the order he had issued remaining in force. The deputation, after thanking Sir Geo. Grey, then withdrew. IHE NAVY. The Meannee,Bl, 400-horse power, attached to the Chatham steam reserve, is to be fitted for commis sion to take the place of the Edinburgh, 60. 600- horse power, guardship at Leith. Otders were yesterday given at Chatham for her to be supplied, in addition to her other armament, with two 110- pounders and two 40-pounder Armstrongs. Rear-Admiral Eden, C. 8., one of the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, and Major-General Stransham, Inspector-General of the Royal Marines, yesterday paid an official visit to Woolwich. Im mediately on their arrival they proceeded to the Royal Marine barracks, and went through an in spection of the gun-drill battery and the move ments of the heavy ships' guns in charge of Captain Carrington, recently appointed drill instructor. In the meantime the Marines were drawn out under arms in heavy marching order, in command of Col. Gascoigne, C. 8., and marched to Woolwich-common, where they were followed by the Admiral and the Inspector-General. They were put through a field day's movements, file and volley firing, and firing in companies, the flanks expending 15 rounds of blank cartridge. Admiral Eden then proceeded to the dockyard and inspected the supernumeraries of the flagship Fisgard, who were paraded in the dockyard square. In consequence of a general holi day having been granted to the departments, to enable each one employed to visit the International Exhibition, the establishment was entirely closed. Special trains were provided for their conveyance to London, upwards of 500 taking advantage of the opportunity, and paying the usual fares. The fac tory department of the dockyard will be granted the same privilege on Monday, the 21st inst., to visit the Exhibition. The Edgar, 88, screw, Capt. G. P. Mends, was paid out of commission at Portsmouth yesterday, under the superintendence of Capt. J. F. B. Wain wright, of the iron frigate Black Prince. The ship will be recommissioned this morning by Capt. the Hon. F. Foley, lately commanding the Coquette steamsloop in the Mediterranean. The Emerald screw frigate, Capt. A. Cumming, sailed from Spithead yesterday for Devonport, with supernumeraries, including seamen and Marines paid off from her Majesty's ship Edgar. The Emerald returns to Spithead. The Adventure screw transport, Commander Lethbridge, sailed from Portsmouth last evening for Halifax, with the families of officers and soldiers belonging to regiments at Halifax, in New Bruns wick, and Newfoundland. The vessel calls in at Queenstown to embark a further number of women and children belonging to the same corps. The embarcation of the women and children at Ports mouth, thanks to the excellent arrangements made by Commander Lethbridge, was effected with the utmost order, and in an unusually short time. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. Hon. A. A Cochrane, C. 8., steamed into Portsmouth harbour at high water yesterday from Spithead, and berthed alongside the dockyard in readiness for going into No. 10 dock to-day. _ _ The Osborne paddle yacht, Master Commander G. K. Bower, is ordered to be undocked at Ports mouth on the 13th inst., and to proceed round to Gravesend on the 21st. It is rumoured that she is intended to convey the Prince of Wales on a tour in the Baltic. trial of speed at the The Argus, 6, revenue screw steamer, of 60- horse power, has made her official measured mile, in Stokes Bay, on the conclusion of com mon screw, having a diameter of 8 feet , a pitch of repair fo r recomm i ss ion.

THE ARMY. Yesterday orders were received at Chat'aam gar rison for the following reinforcements to embark this morning at Gravesend, on board the chartered troopship Sydenham, for Madras :-260 non-com missioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery, from Shorncliffe, and 21 men of Royal Indian Engi neers, from Chatham. The following reinforcements will embark on board the screw steamer Mauritius, 2,135 tons, 300-horse power, for Madras, on the 15th inst. :-235 men of the Royal Artillery, and 73 men of the Royal Horse Artillery, from Shornoliffe ; 1 man of the 17th Lancers, from Kneller-hall ; and 48 non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist battalion Ist Royals, from Colchester. Yesterday a portion of the depot of the 75th Regi ment, the service companies of which have recently landed from India, left Chatham garrison and pro ceeded to Plymouth, to join headquarters: The fol lowing officers left the garrison with the detach ment—Ensigns J. 0. M. Vandeleur, R. J. F. Day, E. 0. B. Forsyth, W. C. Braddon, and Staff Assist. Surg. W. J. Griffin. Yesterday a complete battery of 14 of the new long 40-pounder Armstrongs, for naval service, was landed at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, from the War Department transport Thames, from Wool wich_ The accumulation of 110-pounder and 40- pounder Armstrongs at Chatham is now very large, there being a sufficient quantity of these guns in store to be issued to the various ships commissioned as soon as they are ready for sea, thereby avoiding the delays which have occurred at other ports in the supply of Armstrongs to the vessels of war requir ing them. During yesterday the screw gunboat Ruby, 2, 60-horse power, tender to the Cornwallis, 60, 200-horse power, was placed alongside the Ord nance-wharf and shipped a 110-pounder and also a 40-pounder Armstrongs, the Admiralty having de cided that in all cases the gunboats hereafter com missioned shall be furnished exclusively with Arm strong guns. THE GREAT NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST The Duke of Cambridge was early at Wimbledon yesterday morning, accompanied by Sir J. Y. Scar lett and Colonel M'Murdo, CB., for the purpose of inspecting the ground, preparatory to Saturday's review_ His royal highness made the circuit of the enclosure, and afterwards rode behind the butts) where the positions reserved for the different bat teries of artillery were pointed out to him and met with his approval, the Ist Middlesex Battery, con sisting of 181 b. siege guns, being already planted. Some difficulty was experienced last year in getting the guns in position, owing to the steepness of the ground beyond the butts, and the close growth of the furze. To obviate this difficulty for the present occasion, spade and mattock have been at work, and roads have been cut, so as to facilitate the movement of artillery in every necessary direction. The duke having concluded his inspection, and made some sug gestions, besides giving a glance at the firing parties in the English and Scotch match, took his depar ture, but not before he had taken 30 grand stand tic kets for the review. Saturday is looked forward to with a good deal of interest by the volunteers, and still more by the Council of the National Rifle Association who not only regard it as an important public sequel to the rifle contests, but also as important to them selves in a financial point of view, since the cost of the meeting has been enormous, while the receipts from admissions and pool firing have been far from sufficient to recoup them for their expenditure, and they rely mainly upon the success of the review as an attraction to the public for the reimbursement of a very considerable portion of their outlay. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the day will be fine, and if so the spectacle will well repay visitors, for whom, however numerous they may be, there is ample ac modation ; miles of standing room for those who may he content to stand; and covered-in galleries, ample and convenient, for those who may de sire to sit, and who may not be unwilling to pay for admission to these choice positions. With re gard to the commissariat, it may be as well to add that there is likely to be no deficiency of eatables or drinkables, On an average, Mr. Cox, the re freshment contractor, has dined from 800 to 1,000 persons daily, in his large tent, since the meeting commenced, and, profiting by his experience of volunteer eating and drinking capacity, he will no doubt make abundant provision to meet the extra ordinary demand which Saturday will make upon his resources. Several military bands will be in attendance, and if they are equal to the band of the Queen's Westminsters, which gave its services yes terday, lovers of music will have no cause for com plaint on that score. The events for decision yesterday were :—The Prince of Wales's prize of £lOO, cup or money ; the Albert prize of £lOO, cup or money, given by the council; the Duke of Cambridge's prize of £5O, cup or money; the Duke of Wellington's prize of £5O, cup or money ; the All Comers' ties ; the As sociation Cup, value £5O ; the Extra Prizes, Mr. Henry's prizes of two rifles, value £26 and £l5 respectively, shot for at the Running Deer ; the Rifle Derby, entrances £2, and the sweepstakes (25 per cent. to Association) with entrances at 10s., 55., and 2s. 6d. Besides these there was the decision of the match between the selected eight of England and the selected eight of Scotland (headed respectively by Lord Bury and Captain Ross) which Lad been left in an unfinished state on Wednesday, when the firing at 800 yards and 900 yards was completed, leaving the English considerably ahead of their northern competitors ; and with a bare possibility, and hardly that, that the latter might recover themselves, and assert the supremacy of the Scottish Lion, in the second half of the firing at yards, which was left over till yesterday lo morning. But instead of doing so they lost ground as they proceeded, and at the close of the contest retired from the fir ing posts, conscious that for once they had met their match, their score being 166 below that of their opponents, the aggregate scores being Eng land, 890; Scotland, 724; the English majority being 48 at the 800 yards range, at the 900 yards 34, and at the 1,000 yards 84 respectively. The best scores on the English side were, at 800 yards, those of Lord Bury, who made 49, and Major Hal ford, who made 46; at 900 yards, those of Private Beasley, who made 42 39 ; and at 1,000 yards 42, and Lord Ducie , who made ds those of Captain Heaton and Major Halford, who made 38 each. On the Scotch side Captain Ross at 800 yards scored 52, Major Muir, scoring 46; at 900 yards Capt. Ross scored 41, as did also the Master of Lovat ; at 1,000 yards he lost his luck, scoring only 20, while Major Muir made 33, and Mr. Ross 30. With regard to Lord Bury, at the first and second ranges his lordship was peculiarly unfortunate, firing nine shots in succession without once hitting the target. Upon inspecting his rifle it was discovered to be " leaded," which means (so says his lordship) theta sm all piece of lead had got into the breech, where upon Lord Bury borrowed Mr. Beasley's rifle, and seven missed afterwards, although one of his shots was a ricochet, which, although it did not miss , might just as well have gone a mile wide, since ricochets do not count in the score. We should do injustice to the international match between Eng land and Scotland if we did not add that while the English eight were modest in their hour of triumph, the Scotch eight accepted their defeat with a cheer fuli humility ; and that that defeat, at a ll events, s not likely to rank as a Scottish grievance. We yesterday gave the scores as returned from the firing posts, according to which the English made 343 at 800 yards, and the Scotch 295 ; the English 298 at 900 yards, and the Scotch 264.

THE MURDER AND MUTILATION NEAR WEYMO UTII. The Poole _Herald of yesterday gives some further particulars relative to the horrid murder and mutilation by a lunatic which we recorded yesterday :—" Living with his father and mother in a little too-roomed house at Preston was a man named John Cox, who is said to have been a notorious poacher. Three weeks ago he had a fit, and had been ill ever since, and was attended by the doctor. Brain fever ensued, and latterly signs of insanity. For the last two or three days he has been somewhat outrageous, and was in con sequence about to be removed to a lunatic asylum. He had been attended as a pauper by Dr. Puckett, medical officer of the district for some time, and on Tuesday afternoon about five o'clock, that gentleman, in company with Mr. White, the re lieving-officer, went towards the house in which Cox was living. The father of the lunatic, a lame old man, nearly 70 years old, was then standing outside, and said to the doctor, Be you going in to take John away ?' and he replied Yes.' The old man said, ' You'd better not, or mischief will be done.' Mr. Puckett said he dare say he could reconcile him, and went into the house, :followed by the father, who stood on the step of the door way. Mr. White having left to obtain a vehicle, the doctor sat down and began talking to the man, who soon got in a rage. The father went out to get assistance at the blacksmith's shop. While he was away, which was only for the space of a minute or two, it would seem from the prisoner's statement to the police-constable who apprehended him, that the doctor was persuading him to dress himself, having at the time nothing on but his flannel shirt. The man refused, and became angry, and said, If you don't mind, kill you.' He then struck out at the doctor, who got up and went into the little garden surrounded by a wall in front of the house. The prisoner then tore down the window, which was protected with iron bars, and said, If I could get you I'd knock your old head off,' and then going back into the bed-room, he broke off a piece of the bed-post, and rushing out after Dr. Puckett, struck him on the head, and felled him to the ground. Whilst he was on the ground the maniac belaboured him about the head in a shocking manner. He then ran to the back of the house for the purpose, as he says, of getting his gun, but not finding it, he took a saw, and returning to the spot where the body was lying, com mence d cutting off the head with the saw. He afterwards sawed off one of the hands and one of the feet, and then putting a cotton shirt over his flannel, and an old coat over his shoulders, he ran away without his trousers to the stables of the Plough Inn, where he was apprehended about half en hour afterwards by ono of the county police. A woman who wit nessed the horrible deed said that she saw the de ceased run out of the house, and then that some thing was thrown out of the door, which struck him down. She says that then the prisoner came out with the poles, and struck the deceased about the head with them. Of course this dreadful affair has created a great sensation, and we saw many persons wending their way to the village, and sauntering about the village itself, to glean all the particulars they could of the dreadful murder." On Wednesday the prisoner was taken before H. Williams, Esq., at Preston, and charged with the murder of Dr. Puckett. No evidence was adduced, and the prisoner was remanded until Monday. The body of the deceased gentleman was after wards removed to the Ship Inn, where an inquest was held yesterday afternoon, before S. Lock, Esq., deputy coroner. The first witness called was Richard Cox—l am 70 years old, am a labourer, and reside in this parish. There were three of my sons and my wife living with me in my house, but two of the sons, Isaac and Jacob, went away on Tuesday to seek work. John has been living with me this seven years. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock I was going towards the blacksmith's shop, when I saw Mr. Puckett and Mr. White, the re lieving officer, coming towards my house. Mr. Puckett was going into the gate, and I said, " B e you going in to take John away ?" and he said Yes." I sa id " You'd better not, or mischief will be done." my son was out of his mind, and it was intended to remove him to the asylum. Mr. Puckett had been attending him for some time. When I said mischief would be done 11Ir. Puckett said he could reconcile him, and went in. I was a b out 50 y ar d s off. Mr. White went away to get a cart, as I was not able to go fast enough, and I then went into the house with Mr. Puckett. I stood on the step, and mr. Puckett asked my son some questions, and as I saw he was getting in a rage, I went to the black smith's shop for assistance, and while I was away the affair happened. I was not away more than a minute or two. On returning I did not go into the house, because on looking over the wall I saw Mr. Puckett dead in the garden ; I went round to him. My son was up at another house then seven or eight yards off. My son then came towards me, and I asked hint what he had been about. He said ho would serve me the same if I was not off, and took up a stone, and I went further away, and on looking back I saw hiui sawing off the doctor's head. He had nothing bat his flannel shirt o n a ll d a y long. My wife was in the house all the time. My son had been ill with brain fever. Some other evidence wits given, and. the jury re turned a verdict of wilful murder against John Cox, who was committed to Dorchester gaol. Mr. Puckett was an old and respected residentof Broadway, Weymouth, and had practised f or man y years. _ THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN ,GLAsCOW - 4. - - Ei3 URDER FLEMING ON A COMMITTCAHLAROFGEL.OI.mF M The inquiry into the murd er ' in Sandyford-pl ace has now assumed its most impoi 'taut aspect, and the popular excitement which waits .upon such investi gations deepens as, from a multipliCity of facts and evidence collected in every possible quarter and from all manner of persons, the truth seems, at least, to be gradually neared. An event took place yesterday which so far corroborates t he suspicions that have been pointed in one direction,. and which, if not approved by every one, is not likelf to be con demned by many as either harsh or hasty'—we re fer to the apprehension, examination, and e ommt- i tal to prison of Mr. S. Fleming, the old mail who was in the house during the night on which I,t; is believed the murder was committed. In saying st.'? we do not wish to encouroge the adoption in the public mind of any uncharituble conclusion; for al though the circumstances brought to light during the past two days have been deemed amply suffi cient to justify such a course, a careful analysis of the facts as known to us, while of grave import, and almost directly unfavourable to the prisoner, do not preclude the possibility of his innocence be ing yet established. He has certainly been com mitted on the strength of numerous facts, of several of which we were fu.ily aware two days ago, but re frained from directly alluding to at that time, since such a course might have been doubly injudicious, in embarrassing the authorities while still prosecut ing their inquiries, and in directing public suspi cion to a man against whom no criminal charge had then been made. Now, however, the case is altered; and it becomes our duty to make known, so far as we are aware, the grounds upon which the step alluded to has been taken. At the first intimation of the murder the absence of all inquiry on the part of the prisoner as to tho cause of the disap pearance of the deceased, although he heard screams during the night, notwithstandivg a partial deaf ness, was accounted by all a mysterious circum stance which had not been sufficiently explained ; but apart from this negative evidence, there were positive facts, not only suspicious in themselves, al though clumsily explained, but provocative of the impression that there was much more behind. T.hus, some of the blankets in the bedroom in which the murdered woman was discovered were found to have been washed, but not with the address of a female, the crimson spots having been removed in some measure, though clearly perceptible on a close exa mination. Again, some linen, which had been re cently dressed, was found in a drawer in which the prisoner's underclothing was usually kept, stained with spots and a goodly-sized blotch of blood, the explanation of this being that it had been placed by deceased on the " winter-dykes" on Friday, and that on Saturday he had taken it carelessly down and put it past. Moreover, the room in which the prisoner slept was situated on the ground floor, and immediately above the kitchen in which the fearful conflict in all probability took place, so that it is but reasonable to suppose the noise of the scuffle must have been heard with warning distinctness ; and besides this, any one quitting the house by the front door must have passed his bedroom ; yet nothing occurred, he avers, to awaken his suspicions. As stated yesterday, the house in Sandyford-place has been repeatedly examined from top to bottom, but excepting the numerous painful records of the deed in the kitchen and bedroom, no blood has been found on the walls or furniture. Minute inquiries have of course been made as to the relationship of the prisoner and Jessie Macpherson, and as this is a material element, it may be as well to mention the opinions entertained on this point by the friends of the deceased. It is stated, on the one hand, that the conduct of the prisoner towards the deceased,whom he had frequently visited while she kept a shop in Grace-street, Anderston, was always respectful and kind, even going the length of proposals of matri mony; and on the other hand, that he had made ad vances which,whether dishonourable in their nature or not, were at least exceedingly distasteful to her, for it is alleged that she had told one of her friends, on the Sunday before her death, that her life was made miserable owing to the manner in which he came about her. After a careful investigation into the whole case, Capt. M'Call—who has acted with much energy throughout, avoiding at the same time undue precipitation—considered it his duty yesterday morning to have the prisoner apprehended and given over to the Procurator-Fiscal for judicial examination on a charge of murder. The exami nation of the prisoner accordingly took place yes terday before Mr. Sheriff Strathern, and lasted for about four hours. Of course, like all preliminary inquiries in such cases, it was conducted with closed doors ; but we understand it resulted in the prisoner being committed for further examination, and re moved shortly after to the North Prison. While no one, in the face of the facts made known to the public—not all, it must be remembered, which are known to the authorities—can condemn the step which has been taken, all must regret that amen so far advanced in years should be placed in a position which necessitates even his temporary imprison ment on such a grave charge. It may be mentioned that, although the prisoner gives himself out as being eighty-seven years of age, his appearance is not that of a person so far advanced in life. He looks a hale, robust man, capable of some degree of active exertion, and with his mental faculties compara tively unimpaired. Yesterday we announced that on the previous morning, about two o'clock, Mr. John Fleming, sen., discovered that some silver plate had been stolen from his house. This, of course, added to the perplexity of the case, in adding the motive of robbery, not before apparent, as conducive to the crime. It is most gratifying to know that the whole of the plate has been recovered—a most important discovery, and which, if followed up with skill by the police—and doubtless that will be the case— will do much to unravel this mysterious and appal ling event. On Saturday, about one o'clock, a well dressed young woman entered thepawn office of Mr. Lundy, in East Clyde-street, and said that she had been sent by her mistress, who was behind with her rent, and wanted an advance upon the plate she presented, in order to meet the pressing demands of the landlord fo r p ayment . Th e ar ti c l es were re ceived by the assistant who was in attendance, Mr. Lundy himself not being present. He examined them and found that they consisted of the following —Six silver table-spoons, Queen's pattern, with the initials M. B. thereon ; two silver tea-spoons, Queen's pattern, with the initials M. B. thereon ; six silver toddy ladles plain, with the initials M. B. thereon ; one silver soup divider, flated handle, with a crest, a boar or goat's head, and the initial letter C. on the handle ; one silver fish slice, fluted handle, with the initial C. on the handle ; six silver-plated forks, plain, with the initial letter F. thereon ; and one long plated sauce-spoon, plain pattern, supposed to have the initials F. or J. on it. These are exactly the silver articles missing; but the subjoined wearing apparel, which belonged to the deceased, and is known to have been taken away, has not as yet been recovered :—Black watered silk dress, plain skirt, sometime worn , and in good condition ; a silk dress, or skirt, of a chang ing• colour, with two flounces; a black silk polka, a black silk velvet cloak, a drab cloth cloak, and a black harness plaid. The story told to the aw brok offering thne articles apparently so respectable, anhdyntoheropboblieerey of the kind having been reported, that he had no compunclionls ina. forat o i n t. ce s t o ak li i t n t g le did plate in pledge, giving 6 l , h h the assistant suspect thratttahtehe haduggotohdosht n been more ng e ot in an improper m anner, of e read in the newspapers the circumstance "lit the discovery of the robbery, when he ti c Y om _ of i nunicated with Mr. Lundy, who in- Y at es o t n er n d e informed the police of the matter.

She app eared _to be about 22 years of age, 5 feet 5 inches in ii tight; and from the white ness .of her hands at id arms, it is believed that she has not been accustomed to hard work. She has saudy hair, ova) face, and wore a bonnet with flower . 13 in it; and, from her general appearance, she sc erred a woman in a respectabl e s it u ation in to suppose that she was .sr,tl life. There is no ret. the to, dof a practised burglar, for he would know better than send his l'eoty to so unfavourable a market immediately after the commission of so horrible a crime. We learn the police are sanguine that the will be discovered, and of course her story will 'shed an important I..'g ht on the whole business. Dos. ITLeod. and Flew:. ng having concluded their post mortem examination of the body, it was re moved between. twelve a,nd one o'clock yesterday from the house in Sandyfo. - d-place to the Western. Police Office, by direction o? Capt. IlPCall. There are no appearances, we beliove, to show that the deceased had been violated previous to the murder, although the fierce nature of the struggle by which. it must have been preceded is borne out by the bruises on almost all parts of the body, and espe c on the left side. Why the most apparent anei. st , rious wounds, excepting those on the head, shoul h a ye been inflicted on this particular part, coul d v he explained, o f course , b y a k now l e d ge o f th e : i t ', re of the struggle.

The body i ed, to be interred to-day. a r . As if to re rider still more. complicated the appear ances of the case, various theories have been pro pounded resin 'cting the mo tive which may have led to the commis,. don of the' crime. While deceased - kept a shop in Grace -stret Anderston, debts were incurred to her by many I ersons, some of whom she sued, the result being tilt It they were ordered to pay up by instalments, ant I the hypothesis has been hazarded that perhaps so me one who stood indebted to her, smarting under ti 'le means taken for the re covery of debt, had co .mpassed her destruction.. This seems a very improl )able solution of the mys-. tery, and fades away in the attempt to grasp it.— North British SUICID.I . T FROM TOOTHACHE. On Monday last an inquest was held before Mr. R. Blagden, at IWonks-common, Nuthurst, touch ing the death of a. y oung man, 18 years of age, named William Dinr tage. Edward Dinnage de posed—l am a br( )orn• maker, and live at Manning's heath. The decea. ied, William Dinnage, was the son df my brother, Joi .dan Dinnage, of Monk's-common, and was 18 years of a e.,e. On Saturday last I was at work at my brothel 's shop with the deceased. I saw nothing strange al )out him, but during the day heard him complain la .ry much of the toothache, and he did but little w ork. He has suffered very severely with tooth ache during the last four or five months. I have k nown him sit and cry for hours together with it, arid more frequently during the last month. He stifle !ed wonderfully with it. I left the workshop on Saturday about 1 o'clock, when I called to the decent ied, who was at the time gathering currants in ti le garden, and I told him I would leave him to loci the shop up, and he said, " All right, uncle." I t hen left. Edmund Chart, labourer, Monk's-gate, s aid that on Saturday last, about half-past 10 p.m.., he went with deceased's father to the broom-shop where deceased had been working, and found it fa.i itened in the usual way, and they broke the don r open. They found de ceased hanging by a line to a beam. His feet and knees were upon the g x nund. He (witness) cut him down. He was quite dead and stiff. He should think Cie deceased must 1: .ave stood upon th e groun d when he hanged himself. The Coroner, in summing up, calla; the attention c if the jury to the evidence of the unci l e of the decea: le d. It was clear from the statements this witness rna de that the deceased was not known to complain 'of anything but the tooth ache, of which th ere could be no doubt the poor fellow suffered most severely, and it was quite pro bable that the mi nd of the deceased had become affected by the continued excruciating pains to w hich it appeared he ha.d been subject during the last few weeks. They had heard the whole of the evidence,• and it w ould big for them (the jury) to say how the deceased came by his death, and in what otato of mind he N vas at the time. The jury ex pressed their convic Lion that the deceased destroyed himself by hanging , and that at the time he com mitted the act his mind was temporarily deranged, and they found a verdict to that effect.— West Sussex Gazette.

Judgments to the amount of £16,500,000 still remain unsatisfied among the judgments registered within the last five years.
