Commander Ross has commissioned the screw steamship Desperate, 8, at Plymouth. She is to have a complement of 170 men. The screw steam gun vessel Nimble, 5, and the new contract•built gunboat Speedy, were hauled on Tuesday from the north crane, in the Keyham ateamyard, to the south basin ; a portion of their machinery is shipped. Steam was got up the same day on board the gunboats Ripple and Til bury, in the basin. The screw steam gun vessel Penguin, 5, made a trial outside Plymouth break water yesterday (Wed nesday), and returned to her moorings in the steam ordinary in Hamoeze.

The field-day in honour of the visit of his Impe rial Highness the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, on Woolwich Common, took place yesterday, as previously announced. Ws Imperial Highness, attended by his personal Staff, consisting of Messrs. Le Comte Levanhoff, Le Comte Zouboff, Le Baron Wallen, and Le Capitaine Novitzky, entered the garrison precisely at 10 a.m., under the salute of '2l guns, fired 4. om the Greenhill Battery. The Royal standard of England was hoisted on the Royal Artillery flagstaff, and a guard of honour, under the command of Capt. Field, was drawn up in front of the entranm to the mess quarters, where the Grand Duke alighted from his carriage. His Im perial Highness, contrary to expectation, was ac companied to Woolwich by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by one of 1-I;c3 Aides de-Camp, Col. Ty r whitt ; Lieut.-Gen. the Right lion. Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., Adjutant Ge neral to the Forces ; Capt. Yonge, Deputy Assist.- Adjutant-General ; Gen. Sir R. Airey, K,C.8., Quartermaster-General, &c. Immediately on their leaving their can:ages the Artillery band performed " God save the QIE-en," followed by the Russian national air, which compliment the Grand Duke courteously acknowledged, the two Dukes and their suite standing uncovered in the peristyle dur ng the performance. They were then conducted to apartments appropriated to their use, and having attired in full military uniform, retr-ned to the parade ground, when the Grand Duke inspected the guard of honour, the band continuing to play a number of Russian airs in honour of the distin guished visitors, who repeatedly acknowledged the attention by various significant marks of recogni tion. Major. Gen. Sir R. Dacres, K,C.8., command ing the garrison, attended by a Staff of mounted officers, exceeding 30 in number, performed the honours of reception. They then proceeded through the barrack field towards the review ground, where the mounted troops were drawn up in line. They consisted of the Horse Brigade, in command of Colonel D'Aguilar, C. 8., eight batte ries of Field Artillery, consisting of 48 Armstrong and other guns, and a squadron of the 16th Lancers, the latter of whom kept the ground. General Dacres then assumed the command of the whole. Immediately on the arrival of the august visitors the troop s moved into open - order and performed a general salute, after which their Imperial and Royal Highnesses and attendants rode through the line, which they insp e cted through ou t. R e ti r i ng to the front, they took up their p os iti on un d er t h e flagstaff, and the tr oops marched p as t i n s l ow an d quick time, and afterwards at f u ll ga ll op. His Im perial Highness, whois N aster- e G er e , n r e e r g a a l r d o f e dOtrhde nonce and a most experienced movements with attention, and om Commander - in -Chief, i ecertantly remarked his approval to th e par C ti la c i u e l f a , ri and also to Gen. Dacres, who had joinedtheStaff, assent, to ? whom he repeatedly nodded hi s garded the rigid precision with which th 1 y as re loped past without committing the smallesteyga movempettanttwinastwordered devia tion perceptible. The latter to be repeated, when they galloped of four batteries each with the like remarkabel rows pre cision. Having again retired to the rear, the e whole of the ground was ordered to be cleared, and the line of Lancers moved back to the hi g h road, to fora display of the gun s . Two batteries then then formed in reserve, and the remainder limbered up and manoeuvred in sham action for u p wards of an hour, when the troops retired from the ground at 12 o'clock. The Grand Duke and party then proceeded to visit the Repository and Rotunda, th e Commander-in-Chief taking a hurried departure to attend his levee in London, a Royal salute annonac ing his departure. The Imperial party afterwards inspected the guardroom, non-commissioned officers' and gunners' libraries, the officers' library, ckc., and partook of luncheon with Gen. Dacres and Staff in the messroom. At two o'clock they again mounted, and proceeded to an inspection of the Royal Mili tary Academy. The Grand Duke, who b r ad intended to visit Chatham yesterday, understanding that the whole of the day would be required to inspect the establishments at Woolwich, then desired that a telegr am raj gu . tbe forwarded to Chatham to cancel the order relative to his visit that day. On his arrival at the Academy he was received by the Gen tlemen Cadets under arms. The Grand Duke, who holds the post of President of the Council of Education at St. Petersburg, took peculiar interest in the inspection of the Academy, and on his retir ling he requested Colonel Wilford, the Governor, to grant the pupils a half-holiday. They thence re paired to the Royal Arsenal, which they entered soon after 3 o'clock. The heads of departments present were assembled in the Dial Square, consist ing of Mr. Anderson, Superintendent of the Royal Gun Factories; Lient.-Col. Clerk, Captain Inspector and Acting Superintendent, Royal Carriage De partment; Capt. Gordon, Principal Military Store keeper; and Capt. Orr, R.A., Captain Instructor, Royal Laboratories, and Acting. Superintendent. His Imperial Highness, accompanied by General Dacres and staff, and the authorities above stated, proceeded first through the Royal Carriage-square, inspecting minutely the various operations per formed with machinery in that department, parti cularly the remarkable utility of the numerous steam saws then in motion, and especially the powerful and effectual machinery for compressing and forming the carriage wheels, which his Royal Highness mentioned as one of the works of art he was desirous of beholding. Accordingly a complete wheel was formed in less than five minutes under his inspection. Passing through the Carriage-square, at the outer door stood one of the 12-pounder Arm strong guns, just completed mounting on its car riage. This attracted the Grand Duke's special notice. Its peculiar ities were fully detailed by the officials present, as well as the manner of applying and removing the screw, which his Imperial High ness, in his desire to understand thoroughly, twice performed with his own hands. Proceeding onward to the gun -mounting park, the next object inspected was a new 100-pounder Armstrong gun, which was likewise carefully examined, as well as an 8- inch field-mortar, in readiness for transport to Hobart Town. This was dismounted and mounted in the presence of the Grand Duke, with won derful dexterity. The visitors then proceeded to the Armstrong depot, through the entire length of the Arsenal, covered on every side, in huge layers and piles, with guns, shot, and shell sufficient to stock the most warlike na tion. The next establishment visited was the Shell Factory, where at the present moment, it was ex plained to the Grand Duke, no less than 30,000 shells are turned out per week ready for service, and at one period the amount was doubled. They thence entered the Royal Gun Factories, where the interest displayed by his Imperial Highness was of the most marked description. Upwards of an hour and three-quarters was spent in this department, and every individual article connected with the manufacture of this celebrated weapon was exa mined and inspected with avidity. His Imperial Highness witnessed the forging and preparing a great portion of one of the guns. Before leaving, the Grand Duke expressed his astonishment at the perfection of the establishment. After visiting the Paper Factory, &c., the august party entered the official apartments recently erected for the accom modation of Mr. Mallalieu and the Commissioners of Police, where they attired themselves in private clothes, and took their departure for London about 6 o'clock, under a Royal salute from the gun battery. Yesterday Major-Gen. Eyre, commanding the Chatham district, assembled the entire force of the garrison on Chatham lines, to go through the evo lutions of a brigade field day. The troops on the ground included the mounted Royal Engineer Train, the Royal and Indian Engineers, the three battalions of Infantry of the Line, composed Of the depots of the East India regiments stationed at Chatham, and the division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, the whole numbering nearly 5,000 bayo nets and about 150 officers. Each of the troops was furnished with 10 rounes of blank cartridge. On the arrival of the General, attended by his Staff, he was received with the usual military honours, - after which the troops marched past in columns of com panies, and subsequently executed a variety of ma noeuvres incidental to a brigade field day, Major- Gen. Eyre directing the whole of the evolutions performed. After the troops had been exercised about two hours they were dismissed to their quar ters. In consequence of the advanced state of the season these brigade field days, which have been held at frequent intervals during the summer, will be shortly discontinued. The Megera screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, has embarked for Gibraltar and Malta, alongside the dockyard at Portsmouth, the troops named in ihe ,sun of Monday. The following officers accompany the detachment of the lst bat talion 25th Regiment :—Captain E7crett, Ensigns Chisholm, Dawson, and Pender. The Megmra sails for her destination this morning. Secretary of State the highly effective state of the Hants Volunteers, but he was bound to remind them that constant drill was requisite, and as they had got over the drudgery of their profession con tinuous drill would be comparatively easy. With some further opportune remarks the noble lord thanked them for their attendance and dismissed them to their respective parades. The troops gave three hearty cheers for the Queen and paid a simi lar compliment to Lord W. Paulet and Col. Luard. Refreshments were provided at several of the hotels at Winchester at the cost of the Marquis of Win chester, and in the evening a grand ball took place, which was numerously attended. The total num ber of volunteers on the ground was 2,600, and the spectators were at least 10,000, many of whom were of different regiments. The ceremony of consecrating and presenting colours to the Ist Company Cinque Ports Rifles (Hastings and St. Leonard's) took place in the Music-hall, Hastings, on Tuesday. The hall was crowded, and large numbers of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood were present. The Countess of Waldegrave, in the name of the ladies of the boroigh, presented the colours, which con sisted of a large white silk banner and two batta lion aids. All three flags had the Cinque Ports' arms in the centre in gold and silver ; the larger one having also the St. George cross in red, accord ing to the Royal order recently discovered in the Cinque Ports' archives by Mr. Thos. Ross. The address was read by the Hon. and Rev. Samuel Waldegrave, Bishop of Carlisle elect, on account of her ladyship suffering from a severe cold. The Rev. John Parkin, M.A., of Halton Church, and private chaplain to the late Earl Waldegrave, per formed the religious ceremony. The colours were received by Ensign Roch and acknowledged by Lieut. Crake. . The Volunteer Guards (32d Middlesex), known to the public as the " Six-Foot Corps," have re sumed their drill at Hungerford-hall under a special advantage, the officers having attached themselves during the vacation to line regiments at Aldershott and Southsea to qualify for their duties. One of them, Lieutenant Thompson, will attend the School of Musketry at Hythe during the next term, commencing December 5. Several military men and "six-footers" from other corps have applied to join for the ensuing year, and, although their stature is exceptional, it is expected that the Volunteer Guards will by next season have doubled their present effective strength. The committee of the Ist Wilts (Salisbury) Volunteer Rifle Corps have just passed a resolution with the view of increasing the numerical strength of their• force, and at the same time accommodat ing a somewhat :large class:of persons, who from finding it inconvenient to provide the means of meeting the necessary expenditure for uniform and accoutrements all at once on first entering, have hitherto been unable to take part in the Volunteer movement. The 3d Northumberland Volunteer Rifles under went a satisfactory inspection at Morpeth on Monday afternoon. The review took place in the Brewery-field, near Howard-terrace. It began at three o'clock. The corps made a highly credit able appearance, and were complimented by Major Harman for their proficiency. There was a nume rous crowd of spectators, including several clergy men of the town and some of the neighbouring gentry. The Ballington corps kept the ground. At Hinckley a Volunteer Rifle Corps, to be called the 10th Leicester, is now in course of formation and is rapidly advancing in its organisation, its services having graciously been accepted by her Majesty and a first-class rifle range obtained on B ur ha gc-common by thekind permission of the Countess Cowper, the range extending to 800 yards, which may be further increased if required. The finan cial department, too, is strong, amounting to over -C2OO, including the Duke of Rutland £2O, Earl Howe, £25, Sir A. Dixie £lO, Major Wallaston £5, Baroness de Clifford £5, and Mr. T. Cope £lO, and in each instance a liberal annual subscription. For some time past the members of the Cunard Artillery Volunteer Corps, having completed their preliminary gun drill, have, whenever the weather and the state of the tide were favourable, been em bracing the opportunity to improve themselves in ball practice. This has been afforded them at the Liverpool North Fort, which, being in close proxi mity to the Cunard Company's works, the men have been enabled to turn out at short notice. This they have done in their ordinary working attire, and yesterday the Ist, 2d, and 3d Companies turned out. The target was a barrel moored at 1,800 yards distance, and from its position not more than six of the fort guns could be brought to bear. At an ele vation of 4 deg. all the shots, spherical 321 b. balls, passed over the target, but most of them were in a good line, slightly to leeward of the target, a strong southerly breeze blowing at the time. On the pre vious practising day one of the shot cut the flag staff right through, while another penetrated com pletely through both sides of the barrel. At the preceding day's practice the flag was also shot away. The general drill, dficiency, and the stalwart bear ing of this corps meet with deserved commendation. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. DREADFUL AGRARIAN MURDED IN CLARE. The morning journals record one of the most frightful agrarian murders which have for a long time been committed in Ireland. It took place on Monday night, at Feakle, in the county of Clare, the iictim being Alderman William Sheehy, a wealthy and respected citizen of Limerick, who had, unfortunately for himself, become possessed of considerable landed property in the adjacent county. As will be seen from the accounts which I subjoin, the murder was in every respect a crime of surpas sing barbarity : THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. Yesterday a grand review and sham fight by the Hants and Isle of Wight volunteer corps took place on Compton-down, near Winchester. The troops composed a division as follows :—Hants Mounted Rifle Volunteers (Lieut-Col. Bower) ; Winchester College Rifle Corps (Capt.

SPORTING INTELLIGEYCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON METING. THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE Dk.Y. The tedious delay which occurred before the horses for the Cambridgeshire were started, and the late hour at which the race was fixed, precluded our entering upon any remarks on Tuesday's run ning. It was generally agreed tiat a larger attendance had never been witnessed on the heath, and a better day's racing was c3rtainly never enjoyed even atNewmarket. AlthouEh the weather was mild for the season of the yeti., the atmos phere was cloudy, and occasionally small misty rain fell. The Cambridgeshire never excited more lively interest, and the fluctuations in the betting were most interesting and perplexing. Weather bound, however, kept her position as first favourite with extraordinary firmness, ani, all efforts to shake her were futile. Golden Pippin, who had been sent to the " right about" overnight, advanced in the morning to 8 to 1 taken, and Sir William was backed for such heavy amounts towards the finish that he threatened to be as good a favourite as anything, but he subsequently declined to 9 to 1 offered. After Pretendant, one of the French horses, had won the Fifty Pound Plate over the Rowley Mile, people seemed to awaken to thB fact that Mdlle. de Chantilly, who won the City and Suburban Handicap at Epsom in 1858, might prove dangerous for the Cambridgeshire, and some money was invested in her favour at 50 to 1, and a general rush was made to the new telegraph sta tion at the " Turn of the Lands,' evidently for the purpose of giving the office to London commis sioners. Thunderbolt's success in the All-aged Stakes, wherein he defeated, among others, the " crack" filly Brown Duchess, brought him into more prominent notice for the great event, 12 to 1 being taken freely to a deal of money. The attempts to reinstate Golden Pippin were not attended with complete success, and up to the last 12 to 1 was currently offered against her. Fifty-seven horses were " coloured" on the card, Dulcibella, the winner of the Cesarewitch, and for some time a tremendous favour ite, having been scratched on Monday night. Twenty-nine starters were " telegraphed," and before the horses could be despatched from the post a most vexatious delay occurred. Mr. T. Marshall officiated as starter, and not withstanding that Admiral Rous went to the post to add the weight of his authority, several young jockeys behaved with gross insubordination, and boldly set all commands at defiance. The Admiral carefully noted the principal offenders' names, and they may have cause to repent their bad conduct, as Lord Coventry intends to bring the matter before the Steviards of the Jockey Club. More than half an hour was spent in vain endeavours to get the field off, and Admiral Rous's expostulation with the jockeys, and Mr. Marshall's shouts, " Go back, all of you," might have been heard half over the heath. Australian Maid, a notorious brute, was one of the main causes of this provoking waste of time, stand ing as still as the equestrian statue in front of the Royal Exchaege when renewed efforts were made to effect a start. This mare's propensities are so well known that bets of 2 to 1 were offered in the ring on her being left behind against winning, and those who offered this odd wager were in the right; for when the flag fell the Maid could not be per suaded to move till after the horses were half way home. John Osborne was most unfortunate with his lot, as three out of the four, Feodorowna, Moor coek, and Moorhen, •mere left so many lengths in the rear that their chances were at once extin guished. Weatherbound, the winner, was one of those which got away on indifferent terms, but she made up her ground at every yard, and at the site of the old Duke's Stand, Contadina, Maggiore, Sir William, Roesia, and Summersido, who had been in front, were beaten, Weatherbound and the French outsider, Mdlle. de Chantilly, having the race be tween them. After a tremendous " set-to," which caused intense excitement in the betting ring, the favourite won by a head only, Heiress singularly enough running third, as she had done in the Cesarewitch. Mdlle. de Chantilly is supposed to be partly the property of the Emperor Napoleon, and it is contemplated by a society of French sportsmen, who will also repre sent Imperial interests, to have a training establish ment in England for international encounters. Maggiore, the American mare, ran well, but had not the heart to finish up the hill. A general be lief was expressed that Mdlle. de Chantilly would have won easily had she been in the hands of an " artist," and Fordham, who had no mount in the race, the French party afterwards found to their chagrin might have been engaged. Weatherbound, the winner, and Dulcibella, the Cesarewitch vie tress, are both mares, and both, curiously enough, exchanges out of Newmarket stables. She was sold when. a yearling for a sum under forty guineas to Mr. John Daley, trainer, of Newmarket, who subsequently exchanged her under certain condi.. tions for a very bad mare called Hebe to Mr. T. Brown, of Lewes. Mr. Brown afterwards gave her provisionally to Mr. Swindells, who so far " looked a gift horse in the mouth " that he was almost disinclined to accept the present. The mare was sent to William Day's stable after the Cesaie witch, and having had a most satisfactory trial with Dulcibella, the betting is easily explained. She was ridden with great nerve and judgment by little Adams, who wore the same cap and jacket as had won the Cesarewitch. The great winners are Mr. F. Swindells (whose successes this season are without parallel on the turf), Mr. W. Day, Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. C. Perry. The party connected with the stable were most san guine, and the trainer told all those who saw her at exercise on the morning of the race that her defeat was impossible. WEDNESDAY. The sport to-day was excellent, and the weather as bright and sunny as springtide. Large fields contested the various events, but they were not of a nature to call for especial comment, and the de tailed account given below fully explains all the features. Perhaps the most remarkable thing of the day was the success of George Fordham, the famous jockey, who rode no fewer than five winners. Notwithstanding the publication of the acceptances for the " Nurseries," there was no bet ting on those events, the ring having evidently had enough of it in the " facer" they got with Weatherbound. Mr. Marshall officiated as starter, and gave entire satisfaction. This day (Thursday) Mr. M'George, the next candidate for the vacant office of starter, will commence the three days' "trial" which have been accorded him by the Jockey Club, previous to making a final appoint ment. A Free Handicap of 25 sovs, 10 ft, and only 5 if declared; winners extra. The second to receive 25 sovs out of the stakes. R.M., one mile and 17 yards. 13 subs. Mr. S.

When Napo leon 111. first started he was the great augury, the sign from Heaven, in their behalf. He was hailed as a new power and force on the religious side, he was made an argument of, and the weathercocks of the French Church crowed shrilly on feeling them selves rising in the world. Now that the sign and augury changes a little their puerile vexation and disgust betrays alike the temper of a sect. They cannot control themselves, or put the least check on their tongues ; they are furious and stormy, they bluster and threaten, they insult the Emperor to his face, and are as seditious as they were once servile. All this shows the wounded selfishness of a religious party, looking after its own interests and anxious for its own watchwords. It is like the rage which idolators vent upon their idols when their idols are intractable and do not give them what they want or answer when they call upon them ; the image before which they prostrated themselves is dragged through the dirt and whipped. Nothing could be more impolitic than such an angry demonstration at such a critical time, when the Emperor is understood to be wavering between one side and another. These men are alarmed at the prospect of loss of power ; they think the fall of the temporalities of the Pope will be a blow to the clergy generally, and that they will cease to occupy the place they do now in the world's ideas. But, if they are anxious about their power, is it politic in them to show how unscrupulously they are ready to use that power upon any emergency ? Is it a motive to Napoleon 111. to stand up for the preservation of it that they are now wielding this very instru ment to excite a sedition against his Government ? Are they not rather supplying him with the best of all arguments for clipping their wings ? That appears to be the only inference which Napoleon 111. has drawn from it, to judge from the step which he has taken,—viz., the suppression of the Gazette do Lyon. We cannot, of course, be ex pected to approve such an act of force on the part of a Government ; it is contrary to English princi pies and English ways. We let anybody say what he likes, on the ground that " words break no bones," and we find the policy answer ; we find the free press is a criterion as well as a power and liberty, and a criterion which extravagant parties cannot abide, only exposing and weakening them selves by it. We cannot give our sanction, then, to such a step, but the French clergy have not a word to say against it; their tongues are tied. A party which is exerting its whole force to keep up a despotism in Italy cannot object to an act of self-vindication in French despotism. The Empe ror knows the weakness of their position, and their argumentative exclusion from the right of com plaint, and he takes that advantage of it which we might expect him to take. But this is just what a headstrong and infatuated faction does not see itself; it does not see its own weak points, and how completely the very cause which it so impetuously advocates shuts its mouth argu mentatively when retaliation comes, and leaves it the ready, defenceless victim, of any hostile mea sure. The French clergy are now gagged, and nobody can pity them ; they are only receiving a treatment themselves which they recommend for others. They are interfering in politics, and they receive a warning to confine themselves to their spiritual duties. This interference in politics is the old charge against the clergy, and it is a charge which at the present day they can less and less afford to meet. There is little sympathy with them in such attitudes. At all events, the French Em peror, even if he wavers, is not one of those who will think it an additional argument for abandon ing the cause of Italian unity that the French clergy would, if he did, be able to take to them selves all the credit of the step, and represent it as the inevitable concession of the French Emperor to their infallible power.—Times. • [ADVERTISEMENT.] Pills and medicine invariably ag gravate and perpetuate diseases ; their annoyance, dis appointment, and expense may be avoided by persons in indifferent health se n di ng on l y th e i r a dd re ss to B 'S.

OLD COURT. THE QUEEN V. WILLIAM DAVIDSON. In this case, it will be remembered the defen dant, who was charged with an indecent assault, had put upon the record a special plea that he had been put upon his trial for the same offence at the Middlesex SessioNs, and that the jury were un able to come to a decision, and they were im properly discharged by Mr. Payne, the presiding judge, without sufficient grounds, under the circum stances, for his taking that course. • To this plea there was a replication that there was no likelihood of the jury agreeing upon their verdict, that they had been kept locked up for several hours, and that the judge felt it necessary, in his discretion, to order them to be discharged. Mr. Sleigh now proceeded at considerable length to argue before the Court (Mr. Baron Martin hav ing come upon the bench to assist his learned col leagues) that the plea was a good plea, and that, as the defendant had already been put in jeopardy for the same offence, the discharge of the jury, without his consent and without sufficient grounds, were tantamount to an acquittal, and that he ought not to be put upon his trial a second time. The learned counsel cited several cases in support of his argument, and he said he admitted that discretion to a considerable extent as to the period, and under what circumstances, a judge would be justified in discharging a jury was allowed by the law, still he contended at the same time that it was always con templated that there should be a necessity of a high and imminent degree to justify a judge in discharg ing a jury, and that if he did so from mere caprice or any slight motive, a prisoner ought not to run the risk of a second trial. The learned judges having consulted together for a short period, The Lord Chief •Baron said the Court was of opinion that it was not necessary to hear Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prosecution, and in support •f the replication, as he believed they were all agreed that the plea was a bad plea and could not be maintained. It was his opinion that with regard to discharging a jury a discretion was entirely invested in the judge, and that there was no appeal from the decision he pronounced. In all the cases that had been cited by the learned counsel it was admitted that this discretion was given to the judge, and in no case whatever had it beeen laid down that even supposing a jury had been improperly discharged, it was equivalent to an acquittal of the party ac cused. For his own part he had n• doubt that the law gave to a judge the entire discretion to say when a jury should be discharged, and although if he exercised that discretion improperly, or cor ruptly, he might be liable to impeachment, this act could not be made the foundation of a writ of error, and certainly would not protect a prisoner from being tried a second time for the offence he was alleged to have committed. The other learned judges concurred in the opi nion expressed by the learned Chief Baron, and at the same time said that while they admitted the power of discharging a jury, it ought not to be exercised except upon some overwhelming neces sity, and especially where such a course was ob jected to, still they were of opinion that when the judge had decided upon taking such a step, upon grounds which he considered sufficient, there was no power to review that decision in a Court of Error. The defendant, William Davidson, was then put upon his trial before Mr. Baron Martin. The offence alleged against him was that of having in decently assaulted a little girl, ten years of age, named Annie Dickenson. Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Best were counsel for the de fendant. __ _ _ The case, from its nature, is one which, of course, will not admit of the evidence being given in detail. It appeared that on the 25th of August, the corn plainant, a pretty, intelligent little girl, ten years old, was in Victoria•park, and saw the prisoner there lying upon the grass, and he spoke to her and took her upon his lap, and while stie was in that posi tion, it was alleged that the defendant had. committed the offence with which he was charged. The evidence of the complainant was confirmed to a considerable extent by that of two of the park-keepers, who re presented they saw what she stated took place. The little girl admitted, however, in answer to questions put by Mr. Sleigh, that she had told several stories in reference to her conduct on the day the occurrence took place, and that she had also been punished by her mother for telling false hoods. She also stated that on the day in question she saw her governess going across the park, and that she asked the defendant to let her hide behind him in order that her governess might not see her. A highly respectable witness named Mason, who was called as a witness for the prosecution, admitted that he had watched the defendant and the little .girl for some time, and that he saw nothing impro per take place between them, but it appeared that when the prisoner was taken into castody by one of the park-keepers he offered him his watch, and said that his father would give him 100 guineas the next day, if he would let him go. Mr. Sleigh made a powerful appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, commenting upon the unsa tisfactory nature of the evidence to support the charge, and he called a number of highly respect able witnesses, both male and female, who gave the prisoner a most excellent character for morality and general good conduct. Mr. Baron Martin having summed up, The jury, after a short deliberation, expressed a wish to retire. They left the coureat a quarter to 5 o'clock, and having been absent about a quarter of an hour, came back and returned 4 verdict of not guilty. TEE BRADFORD CHILD MURDER. BRADFORD, Wednesday. This morning John George Gowland, attorney's clerk, the father of the two children who were murdered in this town on Sunday night, as re ported in The Sun, was brought before the Mayor of Bradford (Mr. Wright) and other magistrates, and charged by Mr. Grauhan, chief constable of the borough, with having committed either perjury or forgery. On - being ordered to stand up before the bench the prisoner said, " In this case, your worships, perhaps you will hear a word I have got to say first." The Mayor told him he must keep silent till he was asked what he had to say. Mr. Grauhan then said that the prisoner, when giving evidence at the inquest held on Tuesday on view of the bodies of his murdered children, stated on oath that he was not married to the unfortunate woman with whom he had been living, and who was now lying in the infirmary with her throat cut. Among the papers found in the prisoner's house was a document purporting to be a certified copy of the register of a marriage solemnised at the pa rish church of St. Oswald, in or near the city of Durham, on the 23d of September, 1855, between John George Gowland, aged 25, bachelor, attor ney's clerk, of Durham, and Margaret Sutton, aged 26, spinster, of Bishopwearmouth, Sunder land. The parties were certified to have been mar ried by license by Henry Thomas Fox, and Mar garet Sutton was represented to have signed with a cross. The witnesses to the marriage were Elizabeth Proud and Henry Wilkinson; and then came the following :—The above is a true copy of all the particulars contained in the register be longing to the parish church of St. Oswald respecting the marriage of John George Gowland and Margaret Sutton. Taken this 23d day of September, 1855." Signed, " Henry Thomas Fox." He (Mr. Grauham) had written to the clergyman of St. Oswald's, near Durham, and it was necessary that he should ask the bench to remand the prisoner till Monday next, for he thought he should be able to show that this certificate had been used by the prisoner during the time he had resided in Bradford or elsewhere. If so, and he was not married to Margaret Sutten, then he was guilty of forgery, and, if they were married, he had committed perjury in his evidence the other day before the coroner. The Mayor informed the prisoner that he would be remanded to Monday next, and that the magis.. trates did not want to hear any statement from him at present. The prisoner said his case was a very hard one, and asked to be allowed t o be at liberty on giving bail. Mr. Grauhan opposed the application, observing that he had evidence to prove that the prisoner was one of the most immor al characters p er haps that was ever met with, and if he was bailed out the proba bilities were that he would get out of the way, Th e papers which the m a g istrates h ad before them,. and others which he (Mr. Grauhan) could produce we re sufficient to show what sort of man the p r i soner was. Prisoner—Then, will you give me leave to write to my mother, and also two letters for the pur to eat whil e I am pose of obtaining something confined ? Mr. Grauhan—You will have the prison diet, the same as the other prisoners in gaol. Prisoner—Then, will you allow me to write a letter to my mother ? The Mayor said he might write to a n yb o dy, ,but the chief constabl e must see the Prisoner—Very we ll , sir. letters. He was then removed. At the rising of the Coroner's court yesterday, after it had been determined to adjourn the inquest relative to the murdered children to the 6th of irovember, Gowland complained of the inconve nience fincl an noyance Which, the adjournment would cause him, by detaining him at, Bradford, from which he wished to depart as soon as he could. The Coroner (Mr. Jewison) immediately bound him in his own recognisances i❑ the sum of £4O to attend the adjourned inquest on the day mentioned. The mother of the children is still alive at the infirmary, but in a very dangerous condition, aris ing from her windpipe being cut through. If in - flammation can be kept down it is thought she may possibly recover. HEALTH OF LONDON LURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London, which had been in as previous week 1,008, rose in the week ending Saturday, October 20, to 1,116. In the ten years 1850.59, the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,020 ; but as the deaths returned for last week occurred. in an increased population, the average should be raised proportionally, a correction which will make it 1,122, It appears, therefore, that the deaths in the present return approximate closely to the ave rage rate of mortality at this season of the year. The births list week exceeded the deaths by 684. The deaths by zymotic diseases were 272. Under this head are included 9 deaths by small-pox, 56 from measles, 49 from scarlatina, 8 from diptheria, 34 from diarrhoea, and 2 from cholera. • A blacksmith, aged 37 years, died of " cholera (3 days)" at 24, Acorn:street, Woolwich, and the wife of a mason, aged 43 years, died of "cholera" at 20, Wellington-street, Pentonville. Pulmonary dis eases, exclusive of phthisis and hooping-cough were fatal in 211 cases, the corrected average being only 167. Pneumonia was fatal in 103 cases, of which 78 were those of children under two years of age, and 86 persons died from bronchitis. 109 persons died from affections of the brain and nervous system, 46 from diseases of the heart, and 46 front diseases of the digestive organs. Seven infants died from suffocation in bed, and two children from. scalds. Four deaths were the consequence of burns. The son of a baker, aged 14 years, died at the West minster Hospital from burns, the result of falling into a baker's oven. A h a tt er , res idi ng i n Picea , dilly, committed suicide by the inhalation of char coal fumes. A sailor, aged 32 y ears , di e d on b oar d ship in the river Thames from scurvy. A journey , man painter fell a victim to the poisonous effects of lead on the system. A Greenwich pensioner at tained the age of 93 years, two widows died, aged. respectively 93 and 90 years, and two spinsters, ' each of them being 90 years of age. . Last week the births of 939 boys and 861 girls, in. all 1,800 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59 L 1 the average number was 1,576.

DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.—On Sunday morn ing last Mr. Daniel Muirhead, of Tynecastle, near Edin burgh, died at the very advanced age of 106 years. He re tained all his faculties almost till the very last, and during his life he had scarcely ever had a day's illness. In the early part of his life he followed .the trade of a blacksmith, but he had lived in retirement from business for upwards of 70 years. He was well known in the district in which he re sided, and noted for the manner in which he was able to relate occurrences that had taken place, many of them a cen tury ago. He was no less admired for his lively humour, with which he frequently delighted those who had the pri vilege of his acquaintance.
