TIIE PUBLE,' HEALTH. (From, tke Quo,rteiy Return of ti Registrar-GeJieral.) • Thi . s return comprises the births and deaths re gistered by 2,197 registrars in all the districts of England during the summer quarter that ended on September 30th, 1859, and the marriages in 13,377 churches or chapels, about 4,153 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 631 Superintendent-Registrars' offices, in the quarter ,that ended on June 30th, 1859. The returns present a favourable view of the state of the country. 'The marriages increased as they do when the prof:pret of life among the working classes is cheering. Thu•ands of children in excess of the average were born, the rate of mortality diminished, and the population increased at an unusual rate. As the diminution in the rate of mortality took place in the towns, it may be fairly ascribed to the prosperous state of trade, to the supply of better water, the abolition of cesspools, the purification of the air, and the various sanitary works which many of them have carried out. MARRIAGES. 84,090 persons married in the quarter that ended on June 30, or 4,272 in excess of the number who married in the corresponding quarter of last year. The marriage rate was F 712, the average of the quarter being 1-698. In England marriages are more numerous in the spring quarter than in the first three months of the year, but they are always most numerous in the Christmas quarter. PRICES, THE WEATHER, AND PAUPERIS3I. The price of wheat has remained steadily at nearly the same figure for a year and nine months ; and during the last three months it has been 44s a quarter. This steadiness of price in an article of large consumption has a salutary effect. Beef has been 5 . 1 d a pound, mutton, sld a pound by the carcass at Leadenhall and Ne,wgate markets. The price of beef is the same as it was is the corresponding quarter of 1858, and the eighth of a penny less than it was in 1857 ; the price of mutton in the same quarters was 5d., 53d., and 51d. The average prices of the higher qualities of the two meats decreased d. in the pound ; or, beef from 61 d to 61d ; mutton, 7d to 64d. Potatoes were sold at the rate of 85s a ton at the waterside market, Southwark; in the correspond ing quarters of two previous years the prices were 105 s and 77s 6d. The prices of the present year, like the temperatures of the seasons, occupy an in termediate position between those of 1857, when they were higher, and 1851, when they were lower. The mean temperature of the quarter was 62.8 deg., or 3.3 deg. above the average temperature of the season during 88 years. The excessive heat was accumulated in July, when the mean tempera ture was 68.1 deg. ; while on July 12 the air in the shade reached 921 deg., and 93 deg. on the 13th and the 18th ; so that during 10 successive days the mean temperature of day and night exceeded 70 deg., a thing unprecedented during the period over which correct observations extended. The air was drier (-72) than usual, but the rain-fall (8.2 inches) somewhat exceeded the quarterly average. The thermometer on the grass never fell below 40 degrees in July and August, whereas it usually falls several time to the freezing point of water. Pauperism is below the average in the kingdom. The average number of paupers in receipt of relief during the quarter was 783,449, or less by about 29,000 than the numbers receiving reliCf in the corresponding quarters of the two previous years. BIRTHS. The births of 168,311 children were registered in the quarter that ended on September the 30th. The number is 10,862 in excess of the births in the corresponding quarter of last year. The birth-rate in the quarter was 3.377, the average being 3.246. INCREASE OF POPULATION. 63,972 was the excess of the number of births over the number of deaths, and that was therefore the natural increase of the population of England and Wales in 92 days. On an average, 695 were added to the population daily, and the probable daily in- crease of the population of the United Kingdom was 1,042, which, at the ordinry rates of mortality, will supply 347 men daily of the age of 20. The youth of the country are growing at sueli a rate as to add a battalion to its strength every two or three days. A certain , number of them are transplanted, and go to people the colonies. 34,864 emigrants sailed during the quarter, or 372 men, women, and children on an average daily, from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government agents, of whom about 12,464 were of English origin. STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 104,339 persons died in the last quarter. This number is 6,079 in excess of the deaths-98,260 in the corresponding summer quarter of last year ; and the rate of mortality, 2.003 per cent., is below the average (2.138); the excess in that average being due to the epidemics of cholera. A certain number of the deaths in the quarter may be set down as natural deaths, a7:.d they would not have exceeded 73,533 if the mortality in 63 dis tricts of England, by no means in unexceptionable sanitary condition, be taken as the standard. The 30,806 deaths in excess of that number are unnatu ral deaths, the results of causes which it is the duty of every member of the community to endeavour to TClll.ove. It is a remarkable fact that the mortality of the quarter in the small towns and the country parishes was above their average, to the extent of more than one death annually out of every 1,000 living. A still greater excess might have been expected in the large town districts, whereas the reverse was ob served—the mortality having been at the rate of 2 in 1,000 less than the average. The summer mor tality in the town districts was formerly to that of the rest of the country as 20• to 18; in the last quar ter it was 23 to IQ ; and the difference will un doubtedly be still less considerable when all the dense districts are supplied with pure water, and with the means of returning ail their refuse to the fields as manure in an innoxious state. The deaths in London during the quarter exceeded • the average. The high temperature facilitated the decomposition of the-impure refuse under the houses, in the streets, and in the river. Diarrhcea was un - usually fatal all over the London area; scarlatina and diphtheria were epidemic. In the surround ing divisions the mortality was also above the ave.; rage, as there the same diseases prevailed, with variable degrees of severity. In Kent diphtheria was the cause of several deaths in Brenchley, near Tonbridge, Aldington, Winghasn, . and Deal. in New Romney, of the Romney Marsh district, re mittent fever was prevalent and fatal ; to 9 births there were 31 deaths. The deaths in Brighton amounted to 423; in the Worthing district to 84. The Broadwater Registrar says : "The deaths are 20 per cent. below the average, very few having occurred in the town of Worthing —namely, only 17 out of a population, including visitors, of 8,000. The deaths in the precious quar ter were only 30. I attribute this result principally to the complete sanitary measures carried out in the town, under the supervision of the Board of Health." When will all the English watering_ places carry out " complete sanitary measures," an d thus assert their superiority over foreign places of resort ? The districts of Portsea Island and of Alverstoke are not naturally healthy ; the sites are low, and the water is probably impure, but measures might be adopted for diminishing the great number of deaths from such diseases as diarrhea. The sanitary state of the rising town of Southampton is not satisfactory , —240 persons died in the district. North ampton and its neighbourhood are still suffering from epidemics. The few districts around Wisbeach have not experienced high rates of mortality; but fever and diarrhea have been very prevalent in some parishes. The excess of mortality in the First Ward, Colchester, is ascribed by the registrar " to fever of a typhoid type, chiefly among patients in the Camp Hospital, to diarrhea, and to phthisis." The mortality in the Norwich district is lower than it was; but diarrhoea was common and fatal. In the East \Vymcr sub-district "the large number of deaths (18) from atrophy seems, on inquiry, to de pend on improper food, from the mothers not suck ling their children, as they say it would interfere too much with their work." In the South-Western division, Wilts, Dorset, and Devon suffered an unusually high rate of mor tality. Scarlatina, diphtheria, and smallpox have proved fatal in many cases. " Sall:tans arrange ments are far from good in many houses," not only of Abbotsbury, where three deaths oecurred in one house over drains in the worst posSible condition, hut it is to be feared in many other parts of these great counties. In the West Midland Counties the deaths amounted to 12,673. The health of several of Staf ford districts is still bad. tlease , . scailitina, diar rhoea, and. typhus have been fatal ; in several houses of iiiiston two and three children have been carried off by rat fear," .tRi i;.s the - ;ristrar, " that often little notice is taken of ilinoss sylnotoTas appear, when medical i.;(/ Persuus first, apply to a druggist, a med:ca,t mar.,but not, till the flay before death."

In Yorlisia.:;.re 10,983 deaths sysere registered. The rate of mm mto lity is lower-than it was. Yorkshire, lying betw, ). II the Humber and the Tees—lofty moorlands as 11 the German Ocean—is now occupied jitii:,,ccondur too late. artorwards to by nearly 2,000,000 people, living much in aggro-1 gated masses, but with families characteristically distributed in 400,000 separate dwellings. The va rieties of the geological strata—the coal and iron of the earth—the plains and hills, feeding_ flocks of sheep and horses—the rapid hill streams, and the smooth waters easily made navigable far away into the interior from the Humber—the positionbetween Lancashire and. Germany—between Ireland and the north of Europe—onabled a hardy intelligent race of men not only to obtain all the ordinary products of the English soil, but to found the chief manufac tories of woollen goods in the world. The men of the West Riding became the clothiers of mankind ; and so intent were they on their work, that the health of the workpeople was sacrificed, and the race in a few generations must have degene rated. But a reaction set in; Lord Shaftesbury's Bill, limiting the hours of children's labour, was first agitated at Bradford, and promoted actively by some of the heads of the leading firms. The first temperance society, it is said, was formed in this centre. As substitutes for insalubrious processes, exquisite pieces of mechanism not only card, but comb the wool, spin it, weave it, dye it, and finally convert the fleeces of England, with the fleeces of Germany, and the finer wools of Australia, either alone, or combined with cotton, silk, and alpaca, into the finest textures, which vie in beauty and utility with the furs of animals, or the gayer plumage of birds. The workpcople are now in average town health, and, through the incessant noises of machi nery, are often heard, as the day declines, pleasant voices; singing the concerted songs of the Bradford , I minstrels. The mortality of Yorkshire, during the 10 years 1841-50, was at the rate of 25 in 1,000 ; so 6 in 1,000 died in excess of the deaths out of the same numbers living in comparatively healthy districts ; and the unnatural deaths in the 10 years amounted to 101,195. The loss of life in Yorkshire was un equally distributed ; in the North Riding the mon ,tality was at the rate of 19, in the east Riding (with York) 24, and in the West Itidine , 23 in 1,000. The climate of Yorkshire is not naturally unhealthy ; in:the Guisboreugh district the morta lity. was at the low rate of 16 in 1,000, in Easing wold it was 17, in eight districts it was 18 ; upon the other hand the mortality in the Hull district was at the rate of 31 in 1,000, Sculcoates 23, Leeds district 30, Hunslet (including parts of the borough of Leeds) 23 ; Bradford 25 in 1,000. As Yorkshire chimneys do not yet consume their own smoke it covers whole districts, and is neces sarily consumed by the people—its producers say with medicinal effect, which may, however, well be questioned. If we suppose for a moment all the causes of mortality suddenly to become visible like smoke over Yorkshire,- then the disease particles will be seen to hang densaly over Hull, Sheffield, Leeds, York, and their environs, less densely over the southern and the eastern districts of the coast, clearing as you ascend the rivers to their sources in -the moors, and almost disappearing over Easing wold and the Guisborough district by the side of the sea and the waters of the Tees. Bradford has commenced various works which have already reduced the mortality; in the fourteen years, 1841-54, the people of the Bradford district died at the rate of 26 in 1.000 an nually, while the mortality during the three years 1855-57 has been nearly at the rate of 21 in 1,000, Mr. Hudson, the town clerk, has shown at the meet ing of the National Association that a part of this satisfactory result is fairly referable to sanitary measures. The full water•supply, and the rapid removal of the entire refuse of the town to the sur rounding land, are still on hand ; and, when these salutary measures are achieved, and others that an intelligent medical health officer will suggest, Brad ford will realize benefits which all the county will desire to share. The race of Yorkshire men, in stead of degenerating, will then every year grow finer, more vigorous, more intelligent, better. WRECK OF TAIL BOY AL CHARTER. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. Since our parcel was despatched last night (Wed nesday), Mr. Patterson, who was then under exa mination, continued +.o describe the manner in which the Royal Charter was constructed. He said the whole of the fastenings were made of the best iron, and when the Messrs. Gibbs and Co. put the vessel into his charge they gave orders to spare no ex pense • and, in Order that the Work might be done well, higher wages were paid to the men than had ever been known before: He had inspected her in the graving-dock ' after every voyage except the.. _last, and never saw a loose rivet. In answer to Mr. Aspinall, Mr. Patterson said he believed the Royal Charter was as strong a ship as had ever been built up to the date of her construction. Capt. Harris said she would not have come up to Lloyd's present regulations. Mr. Pattcr3on E4iid those regulutions -over° not in force when she was built, but, except for her fas tenings being somewhat light, she would nearly have come up to them. Mr. Mansfield remarked that if the ship had been stronger, she would, of course, have been heavier, and then would probably not have existed longer on the rocks: Mr. Patterson—No. • Capt. Harris said if she had been built like our floating batteries, with 44 inch plates, her very weight would have broken her on the rocks. The inquiry was resumed to-day at the usual time (one o'clock). Mr. Patterson was recalled—The ,Royal Charier could have been classed A 1 at Lloyd's in 1855, had the owners so pleased, under the rules then exist ing. My foreman is a competent judge of both the iron and workmanship. We looked to the iron and rivetting particularly. When I took to the ship the whole of the angle iron, the lower pipe, and the beam iron were on the premises. Some portion of it was unfit for the purpose. The angle and beam iron would not stand the bend required. The diameter of the keel rivets was 11 inch ; the plating was 1 inch. I consider that rivets of that diameter were suffi ciently large for a vessel of that size. Th ere were a sufficient number of beams, and they were strong enough. I .only use boiler plates for sheathing ships, and am not aware that any other sorts of iron are used for that purpose. By Mr. Aspinall—That used on the Royal Char ter consisted of boiler plates. The engines of the Royal Charter were supplied by Messrs. Penn, of Greenock, at the rate of .£55 lOs per horse-power, which is a high price. James Berry, foreman to Mr. Patterson, said the iron used in the bulk-heads was five-eighths thick. He agreed with Mr. Patterson as to the rest of his evidencel .f Superintended the building :of the Royal Charter under Mr. Patterson. The witness continued—When I joined her at Sandscroft, she was in frame. The greatest possible pains were taken to see that she was a strong ship. There were three foremen engaged, and it was impossible for anything to escape notice. I never heard any one object to her in . any way as regards strength and quality. The rivets in the keel were either I ti inch or lfr inch in diameter, but I cannot be sure which. The rivets in - the bottom were 1 inch. Round the poop and forecastle they were 1- inch, the plates be ing lighter. There were stringers in the wings, and diagonal plates, 6 inches wide by 1 inch,. in the upper deck. The upper deck was lighter. A stringer runs round the ship between the spar deck and the main deck. Various qualities of iron are used in the construction of ships, and the prices vary ac cordingly. The iron used in the Royal Charter stood its weight well. Flaws were sometimes found in the iron, and it was rejected. The quantity so rejected was not more than the usual proportion. All the materials used in the building of this ship were similar to those generally used in the building of iron ships at that time. I inspected the work of the Great Britain. I was also employed to super intend the repairs of the Royal Charter, after she grounded at Flint. She was brought to a graving dock at Liverpool, when it was found that from 33 to 35 of her -floor angle irons were , broken, and that her main keel was also bent two inches and a quar ter in a distance of 12 feet, in the midship part. The midship kelson was broken. The garboard streak was bent, and several plates were bent, but not broken ' • they were taken o u t an d rese t. I d on 't think we had any of the side plates out, as they were not injured. The bilge kelsons, one on each. side, were put in after the accident. She was ori ginally built with three kelsons only. About four or five stanchions - in the midship part of the ship were bent. Some of the rivets were started, but only where there was great pressure, and When wrenched by the strain on her. Neither the maid heads or the counter sunkheiids came off. - A great many of the rivets were loosened, but they were all replaced. Everythin7, was made good, and addi tional strength given to her. Stronger plates were intro:meed into the main kuh,on at the sides and top for the space of about 40 feet. In my opinion she was properly and ellectually repaired, and in a workmanlike manner. I saw her when she put to Plymouth in 1855, on her first voyage. I stmerintended repairs oa that occasion. There was noLlait;g the matter with her hull, bat she leaked in She was not put into graving titers were sent on }Kell-d i and her wa- her Water Wa3'S dock. Carle terv;'ai•s WCI . O re2:l - dlketi. Soule extra fastenings were also put in, and she wa3 lightened of übout - - - . 300 tons of stone ballast. Capt. Harris said, some stress had been laid upon tfic., fact of this putting back, but it was clear to his mind that she must have been made seaworthy, or she could not have got the certificate of the Board of Trade. Mr. Patterson was of opinion that the vessel was originally built with five kelstons, thoughhe agreed with the hst witness that two were added after the lannehing to-make her stronger. Mr. O'Dowd said the Surveyor of the Board of Trade found five kelsons when he examined her in 1857. - Mr. Aspinall produced the original specification, which provided for five kelsons—one main, and two sister kelsons on each side. The witness stated, in reply to Capt. Harris, that he was certain two nelsons were added when she was repaired the first time at Liverpool. He had not seen any further repairs besides those he had mentioned. John Vernon (of the firm of Vernon and Son, iron ship builders, Liverpool), said, after the vessel had performed her first voyage he was requested to suggest the best form of stringer to strengthen her fore and aft. She was then lying in dock at Liver pool, in 1856, and a stringer was introduced be tween the lower and upper deck, covering all the available space between those decks, leaving only sufficient room to pass the rivets through. He never saw so strong a stringer up to that time. No expense was spared by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. We also introduced some breasthooks in the fore foot of the ship, giving her additional strength at that part. Floors were fixed to each frame as they mounted upwards like a row of steps. If the old iron had been defective the heads of the rivets would have gene off, but nothing of the kind took place, and my impression is that the iron was of good quality. By Mr. Mansfield—l did not originally suggest a stringer, but I suggested this stringer when it was decided to put one in. By Captain Ilarris—The upper works required strengthening. Capt. Martin showed me through the ship, and requested me to examine her. It was considered that, in consequence of her great length, she required additional strength in her upper works. There appeared to be some weakness, but he did not think it was occasioned by the weight of her masts and rigging. Ile understood this was to meet anything that might happen to her, rather than to remedy what had actually occurred. This great stringer was much larger than Lloyd's rules direct. . By Mr. Mansfield—lle considered that the Royal Charter was a very strong ship.. Of course, improve ments had been made since she was built, but at that time a stronger ship could not be constructed. Lloyds' rules were not always to be followed. By those rules a short ship would be constructed of the same strength as a long one, whereas it is well known that greater strength is required in propor tion to the length. He would throw the strength into the main body of the ship, and make her lighter at the ends. In Oct., 1837, the fluke of the anchor went through her bow, making a hole 'two feet square. Both the plate and the angle iron had been subjected.to great twisting in consequence of the collision, and. he had then an- opportunity of seeing that the materials ware of good quality. He put in new plates and angle iron. Saw her on the stocks when she was half-Way launched at Sands croft ; he went over her, and she appeared to be in very good order then. By Mr. Aspinall—Several large screw steamers adopted similar stringers to the one I suggested for the Royal Charter, but I have not seen any S 9 strong as the one used _in that vessel. Having had many opportunities of judging of the Royal Charter, I should say she was a ship of very great strength, but . liable to straining, because of her great length and fine ends. With the stringer in I considered her to be a very strong ship. By Mr. O'llowdLloyds' have issued fresh rules this year which supersede those of 1837. I think they arc still capable of very great improvement. I would build ships stronger at midships, and lighter at the ends. [The evidence was still proceeding when our re port closed.] MR. STOCQUELER AND THE LATE • SALE OF -11? MY COMMISSIONS. At the Maidstone Insolvent Court on Wednes day, before Mr. Espinasse, judge, Joachim Hay ward Stocqueler, " author, teacher, and lecturer," whose case stood adjourned from the last. Court, was supported by Mr. Dowse, barrister, and opposed by two of the creditors, Messrs. Eicke, sen. and jun., the former opposing in person. The grounds of opposition were the obtaining money under false pretences, concealment of property, and vexatious defence. The insolvent had petitioned this Court in 1851, and in October, 1858, he had obtained a sequestra tion in, the Sheriff's Court at Peebles, Scotland, about £20,000 of his then liabilities remaining still unpaid. His present schedule showed debts to the amount of £2,644 2s. 7d.; credits, nil. At the previous Court the insolvent was exami ned with reference to a carriage he had had built at a cost of £145, and which he had given to a Mrs. 'Witson, with whom be had been living at Norwood, and who was known as " Mrs. Stocqucicr," the in - ovca.ixif6. having left him some 8. or 9 years since, and gone to Australia. He was also questioned with respect to his transactions :with a Mr. and , Mrs. Delahaye, who had discounted bills for him to the amount of about £1,500, and to the f6rmer of whom he was introduced while he (Dela haye) was in the Queen's Prison. Previous to the adjourned examination being pro ceeded with, Mr. Eicke, sen., stated that Mr, Camp bell (the manager of the Great Eastern - Company, and who had lived in the same house as the insol vent at Norwood), had been subpoenaed to attend, on his (Mr. Eicke's) application, but being anxious not to interfere with the discharge of that gentle man's duties as the manager of a great national un dertaking, he had since had an interview with him, and Mr. Campbell had satisfactorily explained to him his connection with the insolvent. His Honour—l cannot help saying, from the statement of the insolvent, he appeared to keep a very questionable establishment. The insolvent was then examined at great length by Mr. Eicke. He stated that his intention to leave the house in which Mr. Campbell resided at Nor wood was known a long time before he did leave. He would swear that Mr. Campbell did not order him out of the house ; but it was on a suggestion of Mr. Campbell that he left--in consequence of a question arising with respect to a bill. Mr. Dowse here objected that as there was no money now owing on any bill which had Mr. Camp bell's name upon it e and with which the insolvent had been connected, Mr. Eicke's questions were irrelevant, Mr. Campbell not being an opposing party. The examination, however, was proceeded with. His Honour remarked that enough transpired on the former occasion to satisfy any person who heard it that there had been a forgery of Mr. Campbell's name. Examinatimf continued—Mr. Campbell told him that a bill had been presented, bearing his (Mr. Campbell's) acceptance, but which was not in his handwriting; that it had been taken notice of at the bankers, and, as perhaps, proceedings might be taken upon it, he (the insolvent) had better not remain. This was Mr. Wilkinson's bill. He had since met Mr. Campbell; on his return from the contested election at Weymouth, and who then shook hands with him. He had accompanied Mr. Campbell to Weymouth at the former election, and had introduced him there, but had received no re muneration for it. When he left Norwood Mr. Campbell purchasei about 100 volumes of books of him. He first went to the Bridge-house Hotel and afterwards to his aunt's, a Miss Hayward, of Ken sington. Mrs. Wilson remained in the .house at Norwood nntill the beginning of August, he having left in J fly. There was no other lady in the honk, but one or trro other gentlemen. Ile had known Mr. Campbell intimately for the last 22 years, and remembered him when 17 years of age as a clerk to the Adjutant-General in Calcutta. He wculd swear he never got any money from Mr. Campbell for his sers ices at Weymouth, with the exleption of his expenses. There we're a great many guests in the house at Norwcod. Mr. Eicke—Wore some of those guests freemen from Weymouth? ►(. laugh.) His Honour—Don't let us get into a question of " treating." Examination continued—Mrs. Wilson was living at No, 1, Oxford-ferraco, London; befoi-e they • re moved to Norwood. Insolvent was in the habit of going there occasionally, and—paid the rent of the house on a lease for fou' years, but re sided with his aunt. He had known Mrs. 3on eight or ten year', and had lived with her during that time. She had no property when he first I);icarne connected with her. The accepted by his aunt. He had unpaid acceptances of Miss Hayward out at that time to the amount of £2,000 and owed her altogether nearly £B,OOO. She was about 80 years of age, and there was a judgment then against her for £2OO or £3OO. Mrs. 'Wilson held a promissory note for the £lOO pay able on demand. He owed no money in Scotland, but being in the north be was induced by a friend to go further to seek relief from his liabilities. The never gave had cost him ab ou t £OO. li e gave a bill purporting to be the acceptance of Mr. Campbell to the firm of Armstrong and Co. for them to fill up. A letter was here put in by Mr. Eickc, which in solvent admitted was in his handwriting, and dated from the United &nice Gazette office, January 1, 1859. This letter, it was elicited, was addressed to Mr. Eieke, sen., and ran thus : " I have received a letter from Ca stain Mortimer, who tells me I have been exerting myself for Henry because he holds a document over my head to coerce me to an act of justice. I will put an end to this. Not another shilling will I spend until the document is restored to me or destroyed in my presence. :nig course I am resolved on and no earthly power will change me. Therefore, if you meet me on Monday, at 12 o'clock, at the Bridge-house, Hotel, we can continue our operations on a basis clue to my own feelings, to common justice, and to good policy." Mr. Eickc—To what document does that letter refer ? Does it not refer to an acceptance of Mr. Campbell for £l5O, which you took to Armstrong and Co., and got them to put their name to, so as to get it discounted at their bankers, and you re ceived the money for it ? Insolvent—l do not know what document that was. His Honour—But you must know. Was it a do cument purporting to be an acceptance of Mr. Campbell.? Insolvent—l fancy so from what Mr. Eicke now says. recollect having received a letter from Cap tain Mortimer with regard to that, but I could hardly believe it, as Henry Eicke had sworn to me that that document had been destroyed long before. His Honour—Has any money been raised on this acceptance? Insolvent—l had a sort of running account with Armstrong and Co. Mr. Eicke—But we want to know whether you got any money from them on this particular ac ceptance ? • Insolvent—lt is very difficult for me to answer that question,, because I never endorsed it, nor drew it. I gave it to Henry Eicke, and he ad vanced me some money. Mr. Eicke—Then, he did advance you money on it ? house in o:;ford.terr7.ce was a 10 roomed one, and was furnished but not well. There was a little plate which insolvent had had presented to him by his mother. Should think the goods altogether was not worth more than 1;3 , 50. A great Portion of them was sold by :VI rs. Wilson. and the re mainder talon to 2 , Torv.-nod. 'ney Campbell'. altogether about a year azhla half„ had no centrol - over them, as 'he had given Mrs. Winslow some, and the remainder was her own. He had bought -£6O worth and given it her in 18,:2. When they left Norwood Mrs. Wilson disposed of a portion of the furniture she then had to Mr. Campbell, ankl the remainder was taken to a liou.-e in Upper Seymour-street, London; which insol vent had taken six weeks previously.

Insolvent—No, Sir ; bat because it should not be used by other parties in. connexion with Mr. Eicke to extort money fromme. Mr. Eicke—When was this document deposited with Armstrong and Co.? Insolvent—Somewhere in the month of August, 1858. Mr. Eicke—Did net this bill become due about the same time as the other ? Insolvent—l never knew it was due until your son told me the money was wanted to take it up, and gave it to him, Mr. Eicke—Did you acknowledge to Mr. Camp bell that you had put his name to two bills ? Insolvent—Whatever acknowledgment I made to Mr. Campbell he would have been prepared to state here if you had not kept him away. A list of the parties who had held acceptances from Armstrong and Co., drawn for the accommo dation of the insolvent, was here put in. One of the items was—" Acceptance of Mr. C. £l5O, paid to Mr. H.

Mr. Eicke—How many bankers have you had ? Insolvent—Three; White, Hopkinson, and Han bury. The insolvent was then examined as to several items in his schedule ; including a sum which ap peared as having been lent him by a Mr. Robert Cool:, of Watwick-square, some five or six months ago. "Mr. Eiekc—What is Cook ?- - Insolvent—lie is a money lender. Mr. Eicke—Had you ever had transactions with him before ? Insolvent—Yes.

At two o'clock, the Rev. Robert Maguire, of 39, Myddelton-square, Clerkenwell, and incumbent of that parish, the de fendant, made his appearance in the Lambeth Police Court, surrounded by a number of his parishioners and- friends, and at three o'clock, when the Hon. G. C. Norton had disposed of the other cases, that of the rev, gentleman was called on, and at the time all available standing room in the court was occupied. Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, i ns t ruc t e d by Messrs. Harrison and Lewis, attended for the defence ; and Inspector Bent, from the South-Western Railway, was present to watch the proceedings. Mr. Sleigh, addressing the magistrate, said his worship would recollect that the present proceed ings arose from an offence alleged to have been com mitted on a young female, on the evening of the 16th inst., while travelling in a carriage belonging to the South-Western Railway Company, by a rev. gentleman. That gentleman was now present, sur rounded by a great number Of clerical gentlemen and many-of his parishioners ;in dee d- so numerous were his friends, and so anxious were they to bear testimony to the purity of his conduct, that the court could not contain them, and many were outsiCe. He .(Mr. Sleigh) was there on behalf of the re v. gentleman—theßev. Robt. Maguire—to court the fullest inquiry into all the circumstances. After he took the liberty of saying, he felt satis fied that his client would leave the court with the unstained character and high reputation he had hitherto borne. At the request of the learned counsel the wit nesses were ordered out Of court, and Miss Louisa Lettington, the complainant, having been called, got' into the witness-box, was sworn, and deposed as follows :—I am unmarried, and at present staving in Bombard-street, Southwark bridge-road, with my cousin, Mrs. Stovin, who keeps a public-house there. On Wednesday evening, the 16th inst., I left Kingston station in a second-class carriage by the 10 o'clock train for London. There were four gentlemen in the carriage when I got in. The defendant got in at Clapham, and at that time there was only one gentleman in the compartment where I was, but there were three in the adjoining compartment. The defend an t sat opposite to me, with his knees across, and in a few minutes began to annoy me, but at first I was doubtful whether it was intentional or not. He put his feet under my dress, right against my legs, as high up as my knees. As soon as I convinced myself it was intentionally done I moved more to the side. He repeated it a second time, and a gentleman took it up and said to the defendant, "You are very much annoying that lady, and you had therefore better move on the op site side," and he did so. Mr. Norton—Do -you remember whether any thing more was said either by the gentleman, the defendant, or by yourself at that time? Witness —At that time the gentleman told me that if he had misconducted himself he hoped that I would excuse him. Mr. Sleigh—Just repeat what the gentleman said. Witness—The gentleman said, "If lam annoy ing you, I hope you will excuse it. I hope you will receive my apology. I offer you every apology." This was said, not immediately, but a few minutes after. The other gentleman said to him, " You are annoying this young lady very much." Nothing more was said on either side, only the gentleman wished me to give him in charge, and said if I did not do so he would. This was be fore we got to the - Waterloo Station. I said I would consult my friend who was to meet me at the sta tion, as to what proceedings I should take. When I trot to the station 1 saw my friend Mr. Evans, arid asked him what I should do, and. ? he said he should give him in charge. My friend, Mr. Evans, struck the defendant, who then walked down the platform: My witness wished me to give him in charge, but the railway authorities did that. Ido net remember what defendant said at the time they talked of giving him' in charge. The defendant touched my legs with his feet. I moved further down, and tucked my dress around me. I feel con vinced the insults were quite intentional. Cross-examined by Mr.. Sleigh—Where do you live; we have ncit yet been favoured with your re sidence ? You say you are stepping with you; con4in at a place called the Mint? Miss Lettington—l am not here to state my his, tory. Sleigh---But I am rather inquigitiVe about it. You say you arc stopping at a public-house in the Mint with your cousin ? Witness—l am stopping there for a few days, but I am not here in regard to that.; that has nothing ' to do with the insult that has been offered t o me. 1%! r. Sleigh-But where is your place of residence Witness—l have no home since my mother died, and MY home broken up. She has been dead six months. I have been in a situation for three weeks with a lady in Russell-square. I left it because the situation did. not suit me. I previously lived with a family near Manchester. I went down to King ston on the day in question to see my cousin. He in the in.blic line. Had dinner and supper there, but had uothing to drink but water. I m am not in the habit of drinking. Mr. Sleigh—On the day the summons was ai ) _ plied for, were you not at a nublic-house in the neighbourhood, and did you not drink sonic beer and gin ? Witne,:s—l had a little gin and water with my friend. (Here the friends the rev. defendant set up '4, load cheer, and having before given expression to their feelings when they found that anything favourable, to their friend h a d been elicited), Mr. Norton interposed, and reprobated such con duct as derogatory to a court of justice. The witness further stated that the p,Entleman in the carriage had bven smoking a few minutes before the defendant got in. Some gentleman, not my wit ness, complained of th e smo ki ng, and sonic alterca tion arose. He said it was contrary to the rules and disagreeable to him, and wished to have a window open. This was after the defendant insulted me. Mr. Sleigh—Are not second-class carriages very narrow ? _ Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—Do you adopt the present fashion, and wear crinoline ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—Then when you say that the rev. gentleman put his feet under your dress, do you mean your crinoline ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—How long was the gentleman in the carriage before anything occurred ? Witness —Nearly five minutes. Mr. Sleigh—Did you complain to any one of this gentleman behaving rudely to you before the gen tleman you call your 'witness spoke to the defendant about doing so ? Witness—No, I felt too much disgusted. Mr. Sleigh—Am I to understand that you tell the magistrate that you did not say a word all the time that the defendant, as you allege, was pushing you with his feet in this indecent manner, first changing one leg and then another, and that the reason for your doing so was that you were too much disgusted ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—Did not the defendant say, when your witness charged him with annoying you, " I am sorry if I have done anything to offend, as I did not intend doing so. lam a married man and a clergyman." Witness—That was afterwards, at the station. Mr. Sleigh—We have not got to the station yet. Did the defendant not repudiate offering you any insult, and- say, "If I have done any thing it was quite unintentional ; it is entirely a mistake. I am a married man and a clergyman ?" Witness—Not till he came to the station. ' Mr. Sleigh—l am not talking of the time your witness spoke to his friend. Did not the defendant make use of that language ? Witness—Any other gentleman would have made an apology after he had insulted me. Mr. Norton—Do you remember the words ?. Witness—l cannot remember the words, only the effect. The gentleman wished to make every apo logy. He admitted his guilt. Mr. Norton— You have stated that your friend Evans struck defendant? Did he strike with a stick? Witness—No, sir, with his hand, and he had his gloves on. It was what I told him that caused him to strike defendant. Mr. W. H. Surridge, boot and shoemaker, carry ing on business at 275, Regent-street, said—Yester day week I was returning from Kingston by the quarter-past 10 train, and travelled on to the Wim bledon station, when the Rev. Mr. Maguire and another passenger got into the same carriage with me. The gentleman who got in complained of some persons smoking, and an altercation took place. I noticed that the lady who sat opposite defendant seemed to be very uneasy, and was trying to get away from him as much as she could. I then looked down, and saw the defendant's leg strike against her. One of his legs was between her's, and the other on the other side. Did not take any notice, but still kept my eye upon him, when I saw the lady still more uneasy, and mood away a foot and a half. He then turned partly round, and put his leg be tween hers again. I then said to the other passen ger who got in with him, taking him to be a friend of his, " Your friend's legs appear much more disa greeable to the lady than the smoke you have com plained of." He said, "He is not a friend of mine ; you had better speak to him yourself.", I then said to the lady, " Is he not annoying you ?" and she re plied, " Very much indeed, and he is no gentleman." I then said to defendant, " You hear what the young lady says, and I desire you will leave that seat, where you are annoying her, and sit opposite me." The defendant then shifted his seat. When we got to the ticket platform I named it to the inspector or guard, and he locked the door. When we got to the Waterloo Station she said " She would hear what her friend said about it," When we gotthero the defendant tried to get out of the carriage, but the guard having locked it, he could not do sea At the station, the complainant's . friend said ho should give the defendant in charge, and I said if he did not do so I should do so myself. The defendant wished to get away. Ho said, "Do not press the charge, for if you do I will be a ruined man for life. Do not y ress the charge, fo r th e sa k e o f my w if e an d family. Mr. Evans then spoke to the young lady, and said, "If he will go down on his knees on the platform and beg your pardon, I will, for the sake of his wife and family, look over it." We then went round to the inspector's office, and the matter was' fully gone into. He then said, " For God's sake, do not let the matter go any further, for I shall be a ruined man for life." lie said, "I am entirely in your hands." I told him he had better leave the matter in the hands of the company's inspector—lie would see ,to the charge. The defendant then left the station. Myself, the yuung and Mr:--Evans went down the incline, and when we got to the bottom in the Waterloo road, the defendant was there, and he said to Mr. Evans " You promise to call on roe to-morrow. Will you say at what time ? I will stay at home all day for you. My wife may be there a l so i n order that she may pl ea d f or me." I said to Mr. Evans, " If you will take my advice you will not go there at all, but leave the matter in the handsof the com pany, and let them do as they think fit." He then said, "I shall not go near him." He turned to the right, called a cab, and went off. I turned to the left, and the rev. defendant followed me very sharply for some distance, but I never exchanged a word with him. Mr. Sleigh —Upon your telling Mr. Evans that this g;entlema had been annoying the young woman, did not th e d e f endant protest that he had done nothing of the kind, that he had not annoyed or insulted her, and that if she imagined it it was quite unintentional ; that he was a clergyman of the Church of England, and a married man ? Witness—No; I never heard him say he was a clergyman while he was at the inspector's office. All he said was that he was sorry. The words that he was a married man and a clergyman did not reach my ears. Did not say in the railway carriage that the rev. defendant was a pretty fel low for a parson, or words to that e ff ec t. H e (wit ness), however, thought it not unlikely that the de fendant was a parson, from wearing a white choker. Mr. Sleigh—Was not the conduct of the defen dant entirely repudiatory of any insult to this female ? Witness—l did not put it down. I tell you the words, and you may draw your own conclusion. I should not have left my seat at any one's bidding if I was innocent. At the Waterloo Station he said he would give anything if the charge was not proceeded with. He was asked more than once or twice for his card, and ultimately drew from his pocket an envelope, with his name and address on it, and gave that. The next witness called was David Evans, who described himself as a commercial traveller, resid ing at 47, Southwark-bridge-road, and said—l was at the "Waterloo Station on the night of the 16th, to meet Miss Lettington, and on the arrival of the train saw a great commotion amongst the passengers. I was told by Miss Lettington that a gentleman had grossly insulted her in one of the carriages. I asked where ho was, and the Rev. Mr. Maguire was pointed out to me. The defendant denied that he had done so ; and I said I should give him in charge, and lie said he had a wife and children. He pleaded so hard for his wife and children that I felt disposed to let him go, and. in the excitement of the moment I struck him, when he tried to get away, but the guard brought him back. lle asked the guard to let him go, but he refused, and said he must tak e th e c h arge b efore his superintendent. The defendant said he would com promise it in any way by going down on his knees and begging pardon. He wanted to go into the waiting-room to give an opportunity to compro mise the matter, and said be would give as much as £lOO. He said, "I am entirely at your mercy: If you carry the case any further I am a ruined man —my worldly prospects are ruined for life." I told him he should have thought of that before, and that I should leave the ease in the hands of the inspec tor. On leaving the station I saw the defendant at the bottom of the incline, and he said to me, " I think you promised to come to my house to-morrow. I will be at home all day, and get my wife and family to plead for me." I told him I would hold no communication with him, and went to the station on the folloWing day to consult Mr. Young about taking out th e summons. What I did, Idid on public grounds. In cross-examination the witness denied that he offered his address until repeatedly asked for it. He also denied his saying he was a clergyman until the last. In conclusion the witness complained of two persons calling at his residence on the day be fore to make inquiries respecting; his pecuniary cir cumstances, and bound his landlord to secrecy. Smith, an inspector at the Waterloo Station, said that on the defendant producing a letter from his pocket, Mr. Evans said, I know who you are—you are a clergyman—the Rev. Mr. Maguire, flu. I have a portrait of you in my house. (Laughter.) 'There are three of you, the Rev. Brian King,, strungthatn:inuait, 'Wandsworth, and you rs elf slictild be together. In cross-examination, the witrTnssslaieicli the gel heard the defendant say that if he had sut he had not done it with the intention to insult. This being the whole of the evidence, Mr. Sleigh addressed themagistrate in a forcible and eloquent speech, in the course of which he said that the occurrence might in a great measure be attributed to :the present preposterous fashion or crinoline, for he defied any person sitting in a narrow railway carriage opposite to a lady with out having his feet covered in the amplitude of her dress. Mr. Norton said he had come,to the conclusion long before the learned counsel had made his able address. He believed the young lady had spoke n every word of truth to the best of her belief, but he had no doubt in his own mind she was under a misapprehension. Looking at the evidence , it ap peared the alleged o ff ence took place at a tim e . when there was a discussion about smoking, one of the windows was open and the lady coughed; and was it likely that a clergyman would have selected such a time to commit the offence charged. against him ? He did not wish to impute per cry to Mr. Surridge ; on the contrary, no doubt, h e spoke, exactly as he thought, though he did net appear to entertain any particular friendship that towards clergymen ; and with respect to what too lc place at the station, he thought it a question of nerve, and did not consider his behaviour incon sistent with hi s en ti re i nnoc ence. He had be stowed attention to all the evidence in the c ase, and from the beginningto the end ha believed it to be a mistake ; and the defendant would leave the court without any imputation whatever upon hi character. The decision was received with loud cheers, and the rev. defendant departed with his numerous friends. give an answer which might serve as a pretext for this. Mr. Eicke—Then you don't mean to ,give us this prescription for being useful. (A laugh.) Insolvent--No. Mr. Eicke—Have you exercised it successfully ? Insolvent—l have. Mr. Eicke—And made money by it ? Insolvent—l have had presents made to me, but I have never entered into a compact for any sum. Mr. F,icke—How much have you received for this during the last two years ? Insolvent—Perhaps I may have received alto gether about .C. 300. Mr. Eicke—Have you ever received any money from Sir Joseph Bailey ? Insolvent—Yes •he appears in m y • S co t c h schedule as a creditor for £l,lOO, which he lent Mr. Eike—On what security ? Insolvent—My own promissory note. Mr. Eicke—lfave you any objection to state for what service that was lent ? Insolvent—The money was lent to me at five per cent. interest. Mr. Eieke—Does not that appear in your banker's book ? Insolvent—l did not enter every penny I received into that book. Mr. Eicke--Then you say Cook never gave you any money ? Insolvent—No. Cook was a money lender, and my necessities obliged me to apply to several of that class. On one occasion I called on Cook, and he told me had a son who had just returned from India, havinr , behaved w ith grea t ga ll antry at Lucknow ; and he wondered if it was possible to bring his conduct before the Commander-in-Chief. His Royal Highness was in the habit of granting mo interviews, and I took advantage one day to bring the merits of this young man and the 32d Regiment before him. He was only 22 years of age, hardly within the age according to the regu lations ; but when I saw his Royal Highness again he said, " I am going to make your friend Cook a captain, with two others of the same regiment." I, however, never received a penny for it. Mr. Eieke—Did you get Mrs. Wardroper to write to any official parties ? Insolvent—l think I did get her to write on one occasion, but .I forget now for whom it was. His Honour—To write to whom ? Insolvent—To the Commander-in-Chief. I knew that if any person chose to apply to his Royal Highness for a commission he was never refused if the applicant stated any ground for it. Mr. Eicke—What did Mrs. Wardroper know about the grounds in this case? Insolvent—Simply as I told her. I felt diffident in applying myself having done so so often before. His Honour—Was Mrs. Wardroper known to the Commander-in:Chief?" In solven t—No, sir. The insolvent further stated that he had been in the receipt of £220 as the military editor of the United Service Gazette for years, besides which his lectures brought him as much as £3OO a-year ; an[l he also realised a considerable sum by taking mili tary pupils, and for contributions to magazines. He also now attended Dr. Eminerton's College as a military preceptor. Ultimately the case was again adjourned till the next court day, the bail of the insolvent being enlarged. • TIIE ALLEGED OUTLAGE BY A CLERGYMAN. me. COUNTRY MARKETS. BIRMINGHAM—Nov. 24.
