TIIF, ARMY. 4- Yesterday morning the 34th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. G. H. Gor don, proceeded from headquarters, Chatham, to Shorncliffe, where they relieve the 30th company, about to be quartered at Dover, to be employed in the erection of the batteries and the other works of defence about to be raised on that part of_ the coast. The 34th company was originally ordered for that service, but it was subsequently ascertained that the men, of the 30th company had had greater experience in that kind of works and were more ad vanced in fortification. Two companies of the 36th Regiment, and a de tachment of Royal Marines, in heavy marching order, were embarked in a pinnace and a troop boat belonging to the Impregnable, at the Royal William Victualling-yard, Plymouth, on Friday last. They were shortly after disembarked at the same Dace. On shore the exercise was under the immediate superintendence of Gen. Hutchinson and Col. Hort, and afloat it was superintended by Capt. Stewart, C. 8., of the flag-ship, and Capt. Jerning ham, of the gunnery ship Cambridge. The sentence of a district court-martial, which assembled at Chatham garrison on Wednesday last for the trial of a sapper named David Wilton, be longing to the Royal Engineers, for having de serted from that corps nearly four years ago, has just been read to the officers and men belonging to that branch of the service. The prisoner deserted in the month of March, 1856, and was not appre hended until a few days since, when he was taken to headquarters in charge of a military escort. The Court sentenced him to be branded with the letter "DT and to undergo 112 days' imprisonment in Fort Clarence. On the sentence being approved by the Major-General commanding the garrison, a portion of the imprisonment was ordered to be re mitted, in consequence of the prisoner's former good character.

" The Officer Commanding Militia." VOLUNTEER CORPS. LONDON SCOTTISH. This corps continues to make rapid progress with its drills at Westminster-hali, under the tuition of Sergeant M'Blane, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, and three other sergeants from the same regiment. The numbers are nGw increasing very fast, and General Hay, at his inspection the other evening at Westminster-hall expressed the greatest surprise at the wonderful precision the corps had attained in their movements in so short a time. The following are among the additional donations lately received :—Highland Society of London, £lOO ; Lord Elcho, £5O ; General Pasley, £l5 ; Mr. Frank Morrison, £6O ; Mr. Grant, £l2 ; Hon. A. Kinnaird, £10; Colonel Park, £10; Mr. J. C. Taylor, £l2 ; Mr. Ogg, £lO, &c. BRIDLINGTON. A large and influential meeting was held in the Corn-exchange on Saturday for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of forming a Volunteer Corps for the division of Dickering—Sir IL Boynton in the chair. Mr. J. PRICKETT moved the first resolution,-- "That in the present state of public affairs it is desirable that a Volunteer Rifle Corps be formed within the division of Dickering, for the better protection of the east coast." The Rev. H. F. BARNES seconded the resolution. The Rev, Y. G. LLOYD moved an amendment, to tke effect— " That, considering the exposed position of the coast, it was advisable that a Volunteer Artillery Corps be also formed." The resolution as amended was carried unani mously, A committee was appointed to promote the for mation and organisation of the corps. The greatest cordiality pervaded the meeting, and before the close about 30 gentlemen entered their names as members of the corps. It is expected that within a very short period a large number of artillery and rifle volunteers will be enrolled in the district. CAMBRIDGE. At a meeting of the University members of the Cambridge Rifle Corps, held at the Red Lion Hotel on Thursday evening, it was agreed unani mously to submit the name of Mr. I. Baker of Magalene College, for Major of the University bat talion, now numbering 433 men; also to invite the Rev. W. Henry, of Corpus Christi College, to be chaplain to the battalion. On the same evening the members of the town division of the corps, number ing 63, agreed to nominate Mr. J. Prest, captain, Mr. F. Barlow as lieutenant, and Mr. A. D. Clay don as ensign. Trinity Colledge has contributed two companies, and St. John's one, whil e near ly every man in Trinity Hall has volunteered. It is expected that there will soon be 500 men, and that a Lieutenant-Colonel will be appointed. CARLISLE. Active steps are now being taken in Carlisle for the establishment of a rifle corps in that city. A public meeting, called by the Mayor, was held in June last, to consider the propriety of such a move ment, and a committee was appointed to obtain information upon the subject ; but at the first meet ing of the committee they deemed it advisable to wait until the new Government should signify their intentions with respect to the establishment of rifle corps. The matter remained thus in abeyance until last week. On Saturday a meeting of the commit tee was called,and 21 gentlemen met in the Town hall, the ex-Mayor in the chair, the Mayor of Car lise being unavoidably absent. It was resolved to take steps immediately to establish a corps in Car lisle, and 17 gentlemen present at once signified their intention to become members. A public meeting will shortly he called, and there is every probability that a large number of riflemen will be enrolled, and that the movement will meet with pecuniary assistance from the gentlemen of the neighbourhood who may not be desirous of becom ing active members of the corps. CHESTER. The Chester Volunteer Rifles are making steady progress with their drill, under the superintendence of Sergeant Murphy, of the Ist Cheshire Militia. The corps at present number 70 volunteers, and a capital ground has been secured at Waverton, in the immediate neighbourhood of Chester. CHIPPENHAM. A rifle corps is in course of formation in this town. Ab , :ut £550 has been subscribed towards the gene. ral fund. CORNWALL. The rifle corps of this county are proceeding satis factorily. At a recent meetin g .held at Penzance a report was read, which s t a t e d' that the committee had to congratulate West Cornwall on a company having been formed in the above town of 100 men, which had already attained a state of efficiency second to none in that or the adjoining counties. A letter from Major Tremenhcere was also read at the meeting, in which he congratulated the corps on its efficiency, and said th a t volunteering was making such great progress throughout the country that there seemed a prospect of having before long a strong and available force of from 200,000 to 300,000 men. DUNFERMLINE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Dunferm line, called in terms of a numerously and influen tially signed requisition to the Provost, has been held here. The area of the large Lall was crowded, there being, it was calculated, upwards of 1,200 persons present, After an animated address from the PROVOST, who was in the chair, — Mr. KERR, in moving the formation of the Dun fermline Rifle Corps, said—l thoroughly approve of this movement and its principle, and I think it is certainly our duty, as it is our privilege, and ought to be deemed our honour and pride, to defend our country. (Applause.) lam so well pleased with the movement, gentlemen, and with the spirit in which you have received it, that, as I am aware some money will be wanted, I am prepared most willingly and cheerfully to subscribe towards the formation of this corps £3OO. [This unexpected announcement had no sooner fallen on the ears of the large assemblage than all simultaneously started to their feet, cheerily , and hurrahing at the tops of their voices, abewaving their hats and bon. nets. Mr. Kerr made an attempt to speak when the vociferous cheering had somewhat subsided and the audience were resuming their seats, but the attempt was only the signal for another uprising, and another loud and prolonged volley of cheers, the gentlemen on the platform shouting and wav ing their hate or hands around the munificent donor's patriotic head.] Mr. Kerr then said—l can Ltsure you gentlemen, I am very glad, not only to see such a very numerous assemblage as this, but to know that all my neighbours and friends ar e most zealous, anxious, and resolved that this move ment shall be carried out, and I need hardly say after this demonstration of your feelings that I hope you will give your hearty concurrence to the best of your means and opportunities. (Prolonged cheering.) The resolution was agreed to with enthusiasm, and a committee was subsequently appointed. lIOWDEN. A large and influential meeting of the inhabi tants of Howden and the neighbourhood was held in the Town-hall, at that place, on Saturday. Mr. Thomas Clarke, of Knedlington, took the chair, and was supported by several magistrates and other gentlemen. Able speeches were made, in which the necessity, as well as the expediency of the movement, was urged on their attention. The esta blishment of a rifle corps was agreed upon. Mr. J. W. Empson proposed that a subscription should be entered into to defray the expenses of the corps, when the handsome sum of £l2O was raised. A committee was named to take the preliminary steps for the formation of a corps, and so strongly is the movement supported thut there is no doubt enter tained as to one being soon established. EPSOM. A very numerous and influential meeting was held at the King's Head Hotel, on Wednesday even ing, for the purpose of.ballotting by the committee fur the - effective members of the Epsom Volunteer Rifle Company, and subsequently for the nomina tion %f officers. There was a full attendance of the gcn try of the neighbourhood. The chair was taken by Mr. E. R. Northey, of AVoadeote-house, Epsom (au old Peninsular officer), and the list of 70 effec tive members approved by the committee for enrol ment in addition to the honorary members having been read, the meeting proceeded to nominate the officers of the company, and it wau unanimously re solved to nominate the following gentlemen for the approval of the Lord-Lieutenant, viz. :—Mr. James Hustle, of Sutton, to be captain ; Mr. John 11. Hay, of Carshalton, to be lieutenant ; Mr.'E. J. Richards, of Cheam, to be ensign. The greatest unanimity prevailed, and all parties expressed their satisfac tion with the proceedings of the committees, both at Epsom and, Carshalton. It was stated at the meeting, that the appeal for contributions to the fund is cheerfully responded to. KINGSTON-ON-THAMES. The inhabitants of this town have set to work to rare a volunteer corps .f4)r Kingston and Surbiton, Between 20 and 30 members have offered them selves. The subscription list has been opened in the handsomest manner by Mr. W. Byam Martin with the sum of £lOO, and nearly £5O more are promised by Lord St. Leonards and others. This nobleman is exerting himself with his usual energy to promote the formation of the corps. - 114 E SUN, LONDON, TlTEgiAit EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1859. MANCHESTER. A large and enthusiastic public meeting was held vsterday in the Manchester Town-hall to com mence a subscription in aid of the arming and equipment of volunteer riflemen. Mr. Mackie, the mayor, took the chair, and among those present were Mr. Entwistle, Mr. R. Brandt, Mr. E. Ovens, Mr. F. Ashton, Mr. R. Barnes, Alderman Neild, Mr. Whitworth, Mr. T. Fairbairn, Mr. S. Fletcher, Mr. J. Pender, and Mr. H. Fleming. REIGATE. The volunteer rifle corps now being raised here, the sth Surrey, mustered in uniform for the first time on Friday last. The corps already numbers nearly 70 members, of whom between 40 and 50 answered the bugle call, and assembled in the Mar ket-square at two o'clock. Drill has been assidu ously practised for several weeks past, either in the cricket-field or at the National School-rooms ; and the riflemen presented a very soldier-like appear ance. The Hon. Mr. Monson, M.P., the captain, was unavoidably , absent ; but Lieut. Beaumont, who has just returned from Hythe with a first-class cer tificate, and Ensign Lainson were present. After the usual inspection by the officer in command the corps, preceded by the town band, marched in suc cession to the residences of Mr. T. Martin and Mr. G. F. Young, and General Smee, to whom was paid the compliment of a military salute, in recognition of their valuable services in the illation of the corps. The corps then marched out to the heath, where several light infantry manoeuvres were exe cuted in a highly creditable manner, and much to the gratification of the numerous spectators assem bled to witness the novel spectacle. The effect of this demonstration was that several persons came forward to enrol themselves as members of the corps ; and there can be no doubt that the district will fur nish its full quota to the national volunteer force, and that the sth Surrey will equal in efficiency any corps in the kingdom. THE A 7 42IONAL DEFENCES. ABINGDON, Nov. 21. The annual show of fat stock and roots at Abing don took place to-day, and was stated by competent judges to be the best show, without exception, that has been exhibited since the formation of the so ciety. The symmetry of the animals exhihited was remarkable, and the sheep in particular elicited the admiration of all the farmers present. The competition for the silver cups never was keener. The silver cup given by Mr. Norris, M.P., and also another silver cup, given by Mr. Thomas Parr, as well as -1,5 by the society, were won by Mr. W. Aldworth, of Frilford, for a remarkably fine heifer under four years old. The competition for the prizes for sheep was greater than it has been for several years. Tne principal prize was obtained by Mr. Stevens, of Gatehampton, for the best pen of three half-bred wethers. Mr. Stevens also obtained the silver cup given by the High Sheriff for the best pen of sheep exhibited in the yard. It was stated by the farmers and judges who visited the yard that for general symmetry the sheep shown at this exhibition have, as a whole, never been equalled. In the afternoon about 120 of the gentry, farmers, and inhabitants of Abingdon dined together at the Town Hall under the presidency of Capt. Vernon, M.P., who was supported by Mr. J. Walter, M.P., Mr. Norris, M.P., the Rev. Mr. Randolph, Mr. Trendell, the Mayor of Abingdon, Mr. J. B. Barrett, Mr. Alderman Hyde, Mr. E. H. Morland, &c. Great praise was awarded to Mr. Lindars, of the Queen's Head Hotel, for the excellence of the din ner and wines provided by him. The CHAIRMAN having given the usual loyal toasts, Mr. WALTER, M.P., said—l have the permission of the chairman to propose a toast which would much better become him to propose than myself, if it did not become him still better to respond to it. The toast to which I allude is the health of the gallant defenders of our country—the " Army and Navy." You all know that it is to the gallant ser vice of those two noble professions that we are in debted for the security and quiet in which we are enabled to attend to our respective duties and oc cupations when the external energies of the country are employed in defending its honour and dignity, and you need not be told by me that, in case any circumstances should unfortunately arise to call forth their services, they will be yielded with the same hearty spirit in which those services have al ways been accustomed to be rendered by their pre decessors. But, sir, though this is a toast which is at all times :ceivec with cordiality in an assembly of Englishmen, I am sure there has been no period of our history when it has called for more sympathy than the present, because this is a period when there appears to be exhibited a military ardour which certainly has no parallel in my time, nor in the time of those who have attained a much greater age than myself. I need not say that I allude to the great movement new taking place in the for mation of volunteer corps throughout the country. I sincerely trust that this movement will not be of a transitory character, but will become permanent, and settle into one of the regular institutions of the country. I express this hope, because lam con vinced that the system which is now being put into operation is at once the most effective, as it is the most purely defensive, that can be adopted. There is nothing in it which can produce any feel ing of annoyance or hostility upon the part of any other country. It is directed purely to the defence of our own country, and when we con sider the small regular army which we are enabled constitutionally to main tain,—when we consider the enormous changes that have taken place by the-improvement of steam navigation, by which the Channel that separates us from the Con tinent has been, as it were, bridged over—we can not attach too much importance to that movement which will make every Englishman of the present day do that which our forefathers did 400 years ago, viz., make them masters of their weapon, and able to take their place among the armed defenders o army and navy need fear no comparison with those of any nation under the sun as to officers, to men, or to the materials of war. (Cheers.) We heard much of the Austrian Staff. Wonders were expected from them. They failed utterly. General Gyulai seemed ignorant of the first principles of war, and his successor Hess was no better. The strategy of the French was little superior. The battles in Italy were fought by the men ; the hand-to-hand fighting on eitherside was desperate and admirable. " Send me help," cried the French General Niel, "they are turning me !" 15,000 Zouaves rushed to the rescue, and 500 only came out unhurt from the murderous struggle. Either, then, the Austrians are much improved, cr the French have fallen off since the days of the 'First Napoleon. But, for ar gument's sake, let us admit that they are equal to the heroes of Marengo and Austerlitz ; we should not reckon them a rush—we were better men then, and we are better men now. (Applause.) The general military spirit of the country is increased. (Renewed applause.) There is not a man through out the length and breadth of the land who is not prepared, for the defence of his home, to cast in his lot with those whose profession it is "to seek the bubble reputation, even in the cannon's mouth." (Cheers.) The rifle movement is a great fact. It has an important physical effect in England, be cause it in some sort increases our effective defences. It has a great moral effect on the C on ti nen t, b ecause it shows England bristling with bayonets, and the hardiest people in the world—the Anglo-Saxon race—standing shoulder to shoulder to protect the laud from invasion. (Loud cheers.) I believe that, exclusive of volunteers, we could by means of our railways place 100,000 men, regulars and militia, artillery, horse, foot, and dragoons, on any part of our land in 24 hours. (Hear, hear.) I believe that three thousand in this quarrel—" for thrice is he armed hath his quarrel just"—would equal double the number of foreigners. I believe that our fleet and our sailors would never suffer a French sol dier's foot to touch the soil of England. I believe that if we permitted the French army to land— such is the military spirit pervading England—it would be no war, it would be a crusade. The country would rise as one man, and not a Frenchman would live to see his native land again. (Hear, hear.) I have no fear of France ; still we do well to be on our guard. It does not befit a great people to be taken unawares. That country is most certain of peace which is best prepared for war. (Cheers) Well, we are prepared. I have it from the highest military and scientific authority in the land that our coast defences are hourly becoming more for midable. Our navy is the finest iu the world—our artillery matchless. (Loud cheers.) Ido not be lieve Louis Napoleon has any direct intention of his own mere motive against England, but the more I study his political career, the more do I see that, like an adventurer he i s th e sport of fortune, driven hither and thither by the circumstances of the mo ment. Already he has lost half his power in his country by the defection of the priesthood; he now depends entirely on the army. War is necessary to them. Turbulent, excitable, and vain-glorious, they may compel Napoleon to take steps against his better judgment. (Hear, hear.) They say they have a Waterloo to revenge. We have no defeats to revenge; from Cressy to Waterloo we can con template our encounters with the French with great complacency. It needs not the gift of prophecy to reason on past events, and I venture to predict that if the present generation attempts by invasion of England to revenge Waterloo, they will bequeath to their posterity the task of revenging a defeat more complete, more disastrous, and more decisive. (Loud cheers.) Mr. PARRATT then proposed " The Health of Mr. Walter and Captain Vernon ' the county members." The toast was received with loud cheering. Mr. WALTER, M.P., who on rising was re ceived with loud cheers, responded to the toast. After thanking the company for the cordial man ner in which they had received the toast, and expressing his regret that his friend Mr. Bouverie had been prevented by illness from attending, the hon. member observed that it had been well said that agriculture was a subject in which all their representatives were equally interested. He could only say for his part that whatever differ ences of public opinion existed between them, yet in that respect at least they were all in the same boat, and as that boat was now sailing rapidly towards a portion of the year when they all ex pected to find good cheer and pleasure in society, he was sure that they all felt deeply interested in seeing it well provisioned.. He thought the meet ing held to-day showed that, as far as fat cattle and other productions of the earth were concerned, they were abundantly provided for, and therefore that necessary duty had not been overlooked. It did not become him, who was only an amateur farmer, to venture to give advice, or make any presump tuous remarks on a subject on which they were all practical men of business, but this he would say, that if the old adage were true, "that the proof of the pudding was in the eating," the same remark must apply to beef and mutton. They would agree with him, who was a better judge of a sirloin of beef on the table than of an ox in the stall, that the best test of the success of all experiments was to be found in the fact of whether the animal eventually produced formed the best beef or mutton that could be placed on the table. It was the more necessary , to bear that is mind, because they would all recol lect that some years ago the cattle shown at Smith field were much fitter to go to the tallow chandler's than it was for the butcher's shop. He merely men tioned this because it was a fault that any one might fall into who looked merely at the weight and fat ness of the cattle, forgetting the more substantial qualities which rendered it acceptable at table. Whatever difficulties might have been formerly ex perienced in this country in respect to grain, it was not likely that those difficulties would be experi enced in regard to cattle, for as the ;prosperity of the country increased, we became year by year a more cattle consuming people, and it was calculated that since 1851 no less theft 2,000,000 had been added to the population. The conclusion to be drawn was that it was more likely that there would be a difficulty in keeping pace with the population than that there would be a large production of cattle and no consumption. It appeared to him, however, that, comparing the production of cattle with that of roots, the latter was perhaps the best proof of good husbandry. Give him plenty of money to do it with, and he would fatten a pig as well as any one, but he should End it much more difficult to produce a good crop of roots. He therefore pro posed on the next meeting, if they would allow him that honour, to give a:prize of not less than £lO 10s. to the tenant farmer who should produce the best crop of roots of 10 acres. (Cheers.) He had named a larger acreage than usual, and therefore he thought that he ought in fairness to name a larger prize. In conclusion, lie begged to propose " Success and Prosperity to the Agriculture of Berkshire." " The Health of the High sheriff" was next pro posed, and cordially received, after which The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of the Borough Members.' Mr. Nonnis, M.P., responded. After thanking the company for the kind manner in which they had received his name, he said that after the re marks which had been made by Captain Vernon, havine , reference to the belligerent disposition of our friends on the Continent, he would say that if the various reports which they heard indicated that feeling accurately, the House of Commons would have devolving upon it when it met not only that question, but a number of o th ers i n w hi c h th e des tinies of England and the peace of Europe were in. volved. He need not say that both himself and the two hon. gentlemen who had addressed them that evening would bo prepared whenever the interests of their common country were at stake to forget their political differences a n d p ar ty di v i s i ons in the House of Commons. He was delighted to know that the leader of the great party which was now out of power had announced publicly in the most honourable man ner that, forgetting all party differences, he would unite with those now in office for the purpose of maintaining the interests and the honour of the country, whoever might choose to assail it. He had, however, a better opinion of the judgment of the French Emperor than to believe that he would in vade this country or seek to disturb its material I interests. He had al s o a b e tt er o pi n i on o f t h e good sense of our continental neighbours than to sup pose that they would force the Emperor to do so. There were numerous commercial treaties between this country and France, and so intimate were the commercial relations between the two countries that the ordinary pursuits of industry in France were, as respected many branches, mainly dependent upon the continuance of peace with England. We were their best customers, and in all the relations of life they had found that when they were dis puting with other countries we were their best friends, whereas, when there bad been war between England and France, they had always found us their strongest and most successful opponents. He thought the knowledge of those facts on their part almost insured a continuance of peace. Parliament, when it met, would necessarily be occupied with grave matters. The state of Central Italy, the hos tilities between Spain and Morocco, and the state of the relations between this country and America, would all have to be discussed, while the Italian question would necessarily take up much of the time of the Fren4 Emperor, and possibly a ga i n find occupation f or hi s army. With that gre a t question still uns e ttl e d, he thouglit that the Empe ror of the Prowl , . would find it moat desirable to maintain peace wiC. , this country, especially when he witnessed the spirit displayed in this country in respect to that question; but if not, and he were to attempt anything against England, the cry of our army would be, as it ever has been, " RGady, aye, ready." (Cheers.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 21. .MANSION-HOUSE.—James Midgly Pease, a Custom-house officer, was charged with being in possession of various articles supposed to have been stolen. Mr. Beverley appeared for the Commissioners of Customs, and said the pi isoner had been stationed at the Baggage-warehouse, Brewer's -quay, where luggage was examined. In consequence of an opera glass being missed, suspicion fell on the p. isoner, and as numerous articles were found at his lodgings, which were supposed to have been stolen, the pri soner was given into custody. John Moss, 235, said--In consequence of infor mation which we received, I and Monger, a brother officer, went with Mr. Chapman, of the Custom house, to the floor of a bonded warehouse at Brewer's-quay, where the prisoner was employed. The prisoner was called into a private room, where I told him that several things had been missed from th ere l ate l y, and that he was sus• pected. He said it was very hard he should be suspected more than anyone else; but I told him there was good ground to suspect him, as he had been detected in stealing a coat a fortnight ago, and I asked him if he had any objection to our searching his lodgings. H e sa id, " N o. " H e gave up what lie had about him, including a new meer schaum pipe, corresonding exactly with a box of pipes which were then being examined. We then went to his lodgings in Stepney and found in a box there 17 pairs of kid gloves, two pieces of velvet riband, one piece of worsted cord, one piece of braid, a red velvet belt, a pair of lace sleeves, a lace collar, a silk handkerchief, a pack of embossed cards, a scent-bottle, three napkins marked "J. W., 12," nine small pieces of lace, a small scent bag, and a bag containing 201 anc i ent co i ns. I asked him to account for these things, and he said he could not ; that he had taken the things two or three at a time while examining baggage, and that he was very sorry for it. Joseph Sumiuersly, clerk to Mr. Coleman, No. 7, Idol-lane, importer of foreign goods, identified the lace sleeves and collars produced as being part of a case imported by his employer, and examined at Brewer's-quay on the 22d of October, the prisoner being weigher at the time. The duty was paid, and the case was removed to Mr. Coleman's premises, where the articles produced were found to be missing. They were worth lls. 6d. Witness also identified a portion of the gloves produced as being the property of his employer. He added, that he had every reassn to believe that a small piece of serge found upon the prisoner had been taken from a case of gloves belonging to Mr. Coleman, which had been exported by him to Melbourne, and he inferred that gloves had been taken from the case so exported, although he could not prove the fact without first receiving information from Melbourne. Monger, police-constable 564, who assisted Moss in searching the prisoner's lodgings, said the pri soner told him that the bag of coins had been given him by a person at the baggage warehouse, and that he should have been a fool if he had not accepted it. The prisoner, in reply to the usual question, said —I can accou n t f or th e possess i on of a part of the articles. The velvet belt and the bag of coins were given to me by a gentleman last January, while I was on the Fresh-wharf examination. I asked the gentleman if the coins were valuable ; and the gen tleman told me he had taken them out of some old buildings in Greece, and that some people would value them very much. I replied, " I should think so ; I should if they were mine ;" and then he said I might have them. That is all that transpired. The prisoner was committed for trial. George Clarke, a rather rough-looking man, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. J. B. Jayne, landlord of the American Stores, Fenchurch-street, by striking and kicking him in various parts of the body. The prosecutor said—On Saturday night, about half-past 11, the prisoner came into my house and called for three glasses of gin, directly after which he was joined by two other men, one of whom seemed to be a little in liquor, and the prisoner became very noisy, reaching over the bar, at the same time trying to catch hold of my bar maid. I told him not to make se much noise, when he said he was making no noise, and told me I was a liar. He also said he wished he had hold of me, and he would pit c h me d own stairs. I said, "What for ? I merely asked you Auietly and r es p ec tf u ll y not to make so much noise." One of the other men then said, " Don't say any thing to him, or else we'll slip into you." I said, " No, you'll not ; I shall call in the assistance of the police ; and I sent my servant to fetch a policeman. I also came from the bar towards the door, upon which the prisoner and one of the other men stopped me, the other man standing before me, while the prisoner struck me two violent blows in the face over his shoulders. I was then seized by the hair of the head, and dragged to the floor, and all three of the men got about me, kicking me all over my head and body. I was covered with blood ; my lips were cut through completely, my teeth loosened, my head cut in nine places, my ear cut ; the skin is all off my left arm, one of my fingers is broken, and my loins are very much hurt. I called out " Murder !" and a policeman, as well as a gentleman who had been there before, came to my assistance. We got the prisoner and the other men into the street, and then feeling myself faint I told the policeman to spring his rattle, which he did, and another policeman came up. I then went indoors, and fainted imme diately. When I came to myself I was told the police had refused to take the men into custody, and I went outside and saw the men standing between the policemen. Scarcely knowing what I did I struck at the pi isoner, but as my finger was broken I could not hurt him much. The police then refused to take the three men, who walked away and laughed at me. Afterwards I went to the station, and the prisoner was taken into custody this morning. I never, to the best of my knowledge, saw any of the men before. I was quite sober at the time. I have been in the trade 24 years, and I can safely swear I was never intoxicated in my life. A young man named Stainforth, who went into the American Stores at the time for a glass of ale, corroborated this statement in every essential par ticular. The prisoner put some questions to him in a very impertinent way, and when warned by Mr. Good man (chief clerk) to demean himself with propriety he said he wanted to be put up to the right way of doing it. Mr. Goodman —You don't require that. Let me tell you that you stand in a very serious position. Prisoner (flippantly) -oh, I can't stand in a very serious position. I never killed any one. Windlay, police-constable, 705, said he heard a great noise, and on going to the spot he found a crowd collected i n front of the American Stores. Directly after, he sprung his rattle for assistance, and, forcing his way through the crowd, he got up to the prisoner and two other men, who were stand ing there with a policemen, but immediately after Mr. Jayne rushed out of his house, and, without a word, struck the prisoner a :violent blow on the face, upon seeing which witness refused to take the mon into custody. Police-constable 554 said he went into the house, where he found the prisoner and the prosecutor on the floor together. Witness helped to pull the pri soner off Mr. Jayne, and to remove him into the street, where witness waited for Mr. Jayne to go with them to the station to give the charge; but when Mr. Jayne struck the prisoner, as described by police-constable 705, witness refused to take the man into custody. The prisoner, however, gave his name and address, and offered to leave his watch and 10s. in money with witness as a guarantee for the truth of his statement. Ihe prisoner, in defence, said he was a little merry in prosecutor's house, but not very noisy, and he indignantly denied the use of any bad language. The truth was, he did make a little free with the barmaid, for he was a single man, and he thought, and told her so, that she and he would make a nice match. (Laughter.) lie believed Mr. Jayne was jealous about this, and that he was also drunk, which caused him to speak in a very provoking way. _ _ _ _. The prisoner called as witness a gentleman who was in the house at the time, but who fully sup ported the statement of the prosecutor, adding that lid had known him well for 15 years and had never seen him intoxicated. The prisoner also called his foreman, who gave him a good character for steadi ness and sobriety. The Lord Mayor said the case was one of a very serious character, and which, under ordinary cir cumstances, could only be properly dealt with in a higher court. But for the assault indiscreetly com mitted by the proseoutor, after the intervention of the police, the prisoner would have been committed for trial. As it was, however, he must pay a fine of 405., or be imprisoned f or one month, and he (the Lord Mayor) hoped it would operate upon the prisoner and others as a warning to conduct them selves properly when at public-houses. GUILDHALL.—Mr. Richerbon, of London wall, was summoned for 1 is. 4d. for church -rates. Alderman Humphery— Well, Mr. Richardson, why do you not pay this rate ? Defendant—l dispute the validity of the rate, on the ground that it has been appropriated to other purposes than the repairs of the church. Alderman liumphery—What is the amount of the rate ? The Churchwarden--We have made a 2d. rate, amounting for the whole parish to £520, and it is all collected except about £5. Alderman Humphery---.C500 is a large amount to be expended upon the repairs of the church. How has that amount been disbursed ? The Churchwarden —It has been laid out in various ways, and the accounts have been audited and passed, and a copy furnished to each ratepayer. Defendant—l have received a. copy by which I find that the organist is paid out of the money, and there is a very large amount for sundries, besides many items which render the rate illegal. The Churchwarden—The church (St. Stephen's, Coleman-straet) is a very old one, and the repairs one year amounted to £6OO. Alderman Humphery—But you cannot require £5OO every year for repairs. Defendant—l protested against the rate at the vestry about nine months ago, and, although all present felt the rate was illegal, they allowed it to pass. _ The Churchwarden—There are other expenses to meet. I have only done my duty to summon the defendant, and obtain your decision, sir, upon the claim. Alderman Humphery—The defendant disputes the rate because the money has been appropriated to an illegal purpose ; you will, therefore, have to prosecute your claim in the Ecclesiastical Courts. The Churchwarden—lf he drives us to it, of course we must enforce the claim. Defendant—l would not violate a single principle of law wilfully. I would rather submit to perse cution, but my conscientious scruples with regard to church-rates, as contrary to the spirit and text of Scripture, induce me to dispute the rate when I find it is invalid. Alderman HuMphery—Well Mr. Churchwarden I can do nothing in the matter, after the objection which has been taken to this rate. The Churchwarden—l will consult the parish ioners, and if they think I ought to press the claim I shall be prepared to do so. The summons was then dismissed. THE ALLEGED FATAL POISONING BY SAUSAGES AT KI4YGSLAXD. Yesterday afternoon, the inquiry into the circum stances connected with the death of Wm. Eaton, 39 years of age, who was alleged to have eaten of poisoned sausages, was resumed at the Fox public house, Back-road, Kingsland, before Mr. J. Hum phreys. coroner, and a select jury. Mr. Beard represented the vendor of the sausages, Mr. Valentine and Mr. Ellis the Hackney Board of Health, and Inspectors Langdon and Stacey the police authorities. Mr. Sutton, the surgeon who first visited the deceased and his family, having been examined, as also Mr. James, the second medical gentleman who attended, and whose evidence on this occasion was a mere repetition of that already given, Dr. Letheby, after being sworn, thus deposed— On the 14th of November I received two jars and a small bottle from Mr. James, for the purpose of analysing their contents. One jar contained a heart (cut open), spleen, two kidneys, and two ounces of black blood, apparently coagulated. The second jar contained a liver, stomach, and intestines. The bottle contained a sausage. I first examined the heart, which I found very healthy, as also were the kidneys and spleen. I then tested the blood for poisons, but found no show of any. On applying myself to the second jar, I commenced upon the liver, and on cutting it through I found it contained an unusual quantity of bile which had escaped from the tubes. The bile was remarkably thick. The gall and bladder were quite empty. I cut off about half a pound of the liver, and tested it for poison, but without any result. I then ex amined the stomach, producing a layer of gruel like substance, of yellowish-brown colour. There was no poison in it, but it emitted an ammonia cal smell like that of decomposed animal matter. Portions of the matter from the stomach I examined under the miscroscope, which I found to consist of mucous particles of food. The walls of the stomach evinced no signs of poison. I then tested the stomach for mineral and other poisons, but with a negative result. On examining the intestines I found them filled with matter somewhat foetal, and stained with a deep yellowish brown colour. Some portions taken from various parts of the alimentary canal I examined under the miscroscope, every where finding large =quantities of bile which gave an alkali similar to that in the intestines. It ap peared to me to be altered fat or crystals of putn fied fat. I noted an alteration from healthy intes tines, for these were largely inflamed and of a purple colour. The lower end were like purple velvet, and I regarded this as the cause of some local irritation. I then analysed the tissues, but without any effect beyond a large quantity of greenish-yellow fat, which I think might be pro duced by diseased or alterative bile. I then exa mined the sausage, taking portions carefully, but I made nothing out of it beyond bread, meat, pepper, and sage. I tested with alcohol, but the yield was a quantity of ammonia, of offensive smell and putrid extr ictive. T tested also by means of ether, the re sult being the return of a small quantity of ordi nary fat. The general result contained nothing that I could discover beyond putrid matter. The intestines showed marks of intense irritation, which were quite sufficient to cause death. I received samples of pepper, sage, and salt, but I found nothing in them. The Coroner—Do you think there was any putrid matter contained in the sausages ? Dr. Letheby—My experience will not allow me to think so. I can only say that by my analysation it yielded a putrid smell. This was evidence to show that there was diseased meat present, and which might, in a peculiar state of putrefaction, be cap able of producing just the symptoms I h ave h ear d this day describe. The Coroner—Do you think that if the sausages made of meat, bread, pepper, salt, and sage would, if eaten, cause death ? Dr. Letheby—l should think not. If the sausages were largely made of bread there could be no irri tation ' • they would be the m ore rea dil y di gested. Mr. Ellis—Do you not think, Dr. Letheby, that an animal dying from an epizotie disease and after wards taken as food, that death might be the result P Dr. Letheby—My experience will not permit me to say that such would be the result. George Peachey, pork-butcher, of 22, High-street, Kingsland, was next examined. He said—l cannot say whether myself or wife served the boy Eaton with the sausages. They wer e ma d e by m y se lf and men from beef and pork fat, sage, pepper, salt, and b rea d . I b ought the meat atNewgate Market of William Larter. I had two quarters —one of 17 stone, and the other of 16 stone 71bs., for which I paid ls. 6d. per stone. The price varies. I have paid for the same kind of meat 2s. Bd. per stone. I bought it for the purpose of making sausages. It was fresh and good, not very fat nor very lean. I bought it on the Wed nesday morning, and the sausages said to be sold to the deceased's son were purchased on the Friday. I had some steak left from the Satur day before, but it was very fresh. No man in the trade is more particular than I am. I make sau sages every day. I cannot say when the boy fetched the sausages, but my four children have eaten of saveloys made from the same meat, and there was nothing the matter with them. I have only had two persons complain to me, but I have heard of several who have complained of being very bad from the same cause. By the Coroner—l am prepared to swear that the meat I used was good;and the fat fresh. I use 121 b. of beef to 41b. of pork far, and buy my pork at the dead meat market. Sometimes I buy from the jobbers, and make the sausages by machine. By Mr. Beard—l have been four years in busi ness in Kingsland, and five years prior to that in Stepney. I have heard of a great many who had eaten of those sausages were not ill. My four children, for instance. By Mr. Ellis—l have been brought up to the business, and know the difference between dead meat and killed meat. When cut up I can test it by the smell, and the difference of colour. The fat would be different in appearance if the beast died. I can tell a cow that has died from dry milk—it looks bad. I cannot say how much of the old meat I worked in the sausages. By the Coroner—l cannot tell where the back fat came from. Wm. Larter, salesman, of Newgate-market, was next examined, and said--Mr Peachey bought two fore-quarters of meat from me on the 2d of Novem ber. It was a beautiful cow, but I cannot say whether it was killed. I paid a good price for it to Mr. Weaver's foreman. The meat varied in price ; sometimes the best Scotch meat could be bought for 2s a stone. By Mr. Beard—The meat was exposed in the market from the Tuesday to the Wednesday ; and there were two inspectors who saw all the meat that went out of the market. Charles Fisher, meat inspector to the city of Lon don, said—l inspect the meat at Newgate-market. There is a separate inspector and collector there, who is now ill. I cannot call to mind the inspection of the meat in question, but Mr. Weaver's foreman said I did so. There was nothing that attracted my attention. The beast had baen consigned to Mr. Weaver by a very respectable man:at the west end, who had a farm at Hendon. It was coming dry, and was a large framed animal, and had no physique, and he had it slaughtered. By Mr. Beard—l saw the meat as usual. Chop• ping meat is never fat. It is healthy and whole some, but might be poor. The Coroner—lf such animals are pent up, and get no foraging food, would they be fit to kill with out being subject to a different kind of food?— Witness-0 yes. They regulate the food with the management. The - Coroner—l suppose you know the difference berween killed and dead meat ?—Witness-0 yes, but I cannot describe the appearnces. By Mr. Ellis—lf it beast died from an epizotic he country, (theers.)l.Cope that this county wi not be found 'wanting in this respect, and, for my , self, I can only say that I shall never be satisfied 'until I see at least 500 first-rate marksmen on the rifle-roll of Berks. (Cheers.) I beg once more to pro pose the "Army and Navy," and couple with the toast the name of Capt. Vernon. (Cheers.) Captain VERNON, M.P., said—l rise to return thanks for the honour you have just conferred on the army and navy and for the special favour you have extended to me in calling on me to respond to this toast. It has been my good fortune so often to perform this agreeable task in this room and on op• portunities Pke the present, that if the toast were of any other;character, I might find a difficulty in not repeating myself ; but the united services of this great country, by their deeds4either past, pre sent, or to come, ever put forward some new feature to cause the interest or the admiration of " the gen • tlernen of England who live at home at ease," and who rest secure in the certainty that those of their fellow citizens whom they entrust with arms in their hands to defend their liberties, their laws, and their country, will always be found prepared to do their duty, and to uphold the honour and dignity of England as best becomes a soldier. (Cheers.) The Russian war, that of India, and now the war in China, have followed each other in such quick succession that the minds of men of peace have scarcely realised the termination of the one before the commencement of the other. (Hear, hear.) I shall not touch upon the political question of the China war. It has recommenced in disaster—dis aster, however, which still goes to prove that the fighting men of England are of no ordinar y stamp. (Hear, hear.) I regret that in repairing this disaster we have not undertaken the war singlehanded. If I had a voice in the question I would not allow a Frenchman to pull a trigger in the quarrel. (Ap p!ause.) We are men enough to vindicate our arms with our own resources, without the aid of any foreigner; and we have thousands of well-disciplined CO • natives in India—not sepoys—who, basced on our indomitable resolution, would have been amply suf ficient for the purpose. (Hear, hear.) It diminishes our prestige to admit the participation of France in our wars. (Hear,hear.) Continental Powers assert that we cannot do without such aid. This is a gross mistake. (Hear, hear.) In the time of the first Na poleon England, almost without assistance—for Portugal was little and Spain none —we, I say, pa ralysed all his effcrts, though he was backed by almost all the nations of Europe, and commanded armies of fabulous numerical strength. The army he led to leave its bones in Russia, was 700,000 strong, speaking eight different languages. The ante-chamber of his tent was crowded with kings and princes; and foreign nations, obedient to his nod, were swayed by his imperial will. (Hear, hear. ) Is the present Napoleon a greater than his uncle, the hero of a hundred fights ? History says "No" to that. Are the French soldiers of this day superior to the 30,000 Frenchmen who, opposed to 80,000 Austrians and Sardinians, in 15 days overran Italy, fought six battles, and killed 25,000 men ? Magenta aAd Solferino say "No" to that. Are we inferior to the militiamen who destroyed the veteran con querors of Europe at Waterloo ? The Crimea and India say " No" to that. I have just returned from the Continent, where with a view to possible coming events, I made it my special business to examine the armies that will iiesi have to staralopposed to France, The French army I know by heart. I §ay that our disease I do not think I could pass it; it is CO sidered unwholesome. At this stage of the inquiry, The Coroner, add re s s i ng the jury said —We 10, ce llo here, gentlemen, the evidence of Dr. Lethehy, finds nothing of a poi sonous n ature as the result (4 t his analysis, but he comes to the conclusion hat death has been produced by an irritant age nt ) a nd in the progress of the inquiry there is one startling fact, one link wanting, to which they cou ld not shut their eyes. It now rested with them whether they would have another adjournment, for the p ur p ose i of ascertaining where th e back fat, which formed the ingredient in the sausages, was obtained. Mr. Beard here begged to impress upon the j ury . that his client was now almost a ruined man, a . ea the longer the delay the more he suffered. He 1 % pressed upon them th e f ac t that many had eat of the sausages and not suffered. 1, +her The Coroner—Yes, but we do not know Woe from that manufacture. The court was then cleared, when an adjourn ment for a week was agreed on. COUNTRY MAI?KBTS. 'RD—Nov. 18. town to-day was rather lartoger folders wero firm, and le 2e best qualities.
