They die very much more fie: quently than nine months' children. Henry Letheby, L'rofessor of Chemistry at the London Hospital, said—l received a sealed jar with certain contents from Dr. Gant on Monday, the 19th. I produce the seals on the jar. The seals having been identified, Dr. Letheby continued—The jars contained the heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, kidneys, and spleen. They were all carefully submitted to analysis. I found the heart and lungs healthy, weighing 850 grains. The liver was healthy, it weighed 600 grains. The intestines and stomach weighed only 480 grains. I first inflated the lungs to see if they were sound, and found they were so. I examined them when inflated for any signs of disease, but found none. I then opened the stomach ; it was quite empty, with the excep tion of a little red mucous matter which covered the inner coat. I opened the intestines, and found them nearly empty, except the lower part, in which there were 66 grain of matter somewhat faecal, like that of a new born child. I submitted the intestines to examination by the microscope, and could not find the slightest trace of vegetable food or of fat which would indicate the presence of milk. The con tents and tissues were then submitted to an analysis for organic poison, but without discovering any trace, and the general result of my investigation was that death arose from inanition, there being no signs of natural disease. Coroner—Do you think the child was a full-grown ono ? Witness—Judging from my experience, I should think so. I don't speak positively to that, as I did not see the child. The child appeared to me to have been unable to swallow, or would not swallow. If the child could have swallowed, I think it could have taken sufficient food to maintain life. I cannot, however, speak positively on that point. Cross-examined by Mr. Best—Anything that prevented the child swallowing or prevented food from entering the stomach would cause death. If the child had taken food and vomited it back again the same result would follow. Mrs. Conder, the nurse, was recalled, and in answer to questions put to her by the coroner, said—The child after it took the slightest quantity of food always vomited. Miss Mi tchell, recalled, and in answer to questions from the coroner, said—When I saw the child fed it retained the food it took on its stomach. I never heard of the child being sick. The Coroner said— I am afraid that we have now arrived at a point at which wo must adjourn this inquiry, as Mr Ayres, the undertaker, a material witness, and one who can explain how the two bodies got. .into the coffin, is not in attendance. He was duly summoned, but he has gone out of town. There is a person here, however, on the pat of Mr. Ayres, to explain the cause of his absence. This person said that Mr. Ayres left town last night, on urgent business. He had gone into Hertfordshire. Mr. Best—l think, as he is not here, well knowing that his presence was absolutely necessary, he ought to be fined. The Coroner—l think, under all the circumstances, the inquiry had better be adjourned. Nr e Best—Will you examine Dr. Godfrey ? Ho' is in attendance. The Coroner—Not at present. It is very much to be regretted that Mr. Ayres is not here,!and that being so, I shall adjourn the inquiry until Friday morning next. • The inquiry was accordingly adjourned. Mr. Inspector Whicher attended the inquiry on behalf of the Commissioners of Police, and Inspectors Griffin and Kerresby, of the district, were also in attendance. TRIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat was shown here this morning, and the general quality of the samples was inferior. The few fine wheats on offer sold steadily at full prices, but all other kinds were very dull at Monday's rates. There was no disposition shown to speculate in foreign wheat, the supply of which was good, yet late rates were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were steady. Fine barley realised extreme rates, but light samples were a dull inquiry. There was a moderate inquiry for malt at previous prices. The oat trade was very firm, and prices were rather on he advance. Both beans and peas, except white qualities of the latter, were dull, but not cheaper. Flour sold on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oafs. Flour.

The last Australian papers give a full account of the progress of New Zealand from a census just taken. Its totals appear insignificant, yet, compared with those of 1351, when the previous census was completed, they show an extraordinary rate of advance, which, in one or two generations, will, like the figures in compound interest, ex cite astonishment. The entire European population is only 61,199, or:less than the number recently grouped on one day in the Crystal Palace. Nevertheless, this shows au in crease of more th an a h undred per cent,. in seven years, and it is remarkable that one-half of the number are what are legally termed " infants" —namely, below 21 years of age. Of the various provinces Auckland is the most populous, and Wellington the next, the respecti ve numbers bemfr 18,177 and 11,728. Then come Nelson, 9,272; Canterbury, 8,967 ; Otago, 6,914; and llawke s Bay, 1,514. The disproportion be tween the numbers of males and females is great, but still not so serious as is sometimes the case in colonies, and it refers, moreover, chiefly to the original settlers, the young population being more equal. The males amount to 35,043, and the females to 26,156. The live stock in the colony in cludes 1,523,324 sheep, 137,204 cattle, 40,734 pigs, 14,912 horses, and 11,797 goats, and is about five or six times as great as in 1851. The quantity of land in use has about quadrupled. In 1851 there were only 3),470 acres fenced in, or a little more than one acre per head of the population. Now the total is 235,511, or at the rate of about four acres. Owing to the scattered nature of the settlements, the intro duction of land or coast lines of telegraph appears an urgent want. This, however, has not yet been begun. With re gard to locomotion, the facilities for steamers between the principal points will probably for a long time obviate much of the necessity for expenditure in railways or other roads. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. HUGHES, TUE ABSCONDING BANKRUPT..--ThiS mottling David Hughes, the absconding bankrupt, was again placed at the bar, charged with absconding and defrauding his creditors. The case was proceeding when we went to press. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SCANDALOUS CONDUCT OF A CAB - DRIVER.—John Hill, a big, rough-looking fellow, described as a cab-driver, was charged by Mr. Wm. Love, chief constable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with being drunk and cruelly torturing a horse. Mr. Love said that morning he was passing by Wood stock-street, where he saw a horse and cab, the only ono on the stand, and observed the horse biting at its knees, lifting first one leg, then the other, and evidently in great agony. He examined its legs and found that both knees were broken shockingly, and presenting a ghastly appearance, blood issuing from them. The horse was covered with dirt, and much ill-used. Upon making inquiry he found the priso ner in a coffee-house close by quite drunk. The prisoner admitted he had tho.horse out nearly 12 hours, and abu-od him (Mr. Love) for interfering. lie (Mr. Love) then sent for a constable, and the prisoner got on his cab and drove off down Oxford -street so drunk that he rolled about on the box, and on arriving in the Regent Circus drove across an omnibus, impeding the traffic and blocking up the road for some time. He had also strong reason to believe the horse had been kept without food all night, as it ate ravenously some dirty hay lying in the street, the nose-bag being quite empty, and he therefore ordered the horse to be well fed at once. Charles Baker, of Providence-yard, Vauxhall -road, the owner of the cab, said it was taken out by the regular driver in a perfectly sound condition, kept out many hours beyond its time, and seriously ill-used. The proper driver of the cab said he left the horse in charge of a man while he went into a public house, and when he came out the horse and cab were gone. The prisoner said same one asked him to drive them somewhere, and he stopped at several public houses, and had a drop too much. Mr. Beadon said the proper driver's conduct was very re prehensible, and that of the prisoner scandalous and dis graceful, and for which he would be committed to the House of Correction for two months with hard labour. CRUEL DESERTION OF AN INFANT.—Jane Johnson, a young woman, was charged with deserting her male infant, one month old, under the following circumstances : Mr. Bowman, relieving officer of St. Martin's, attended to watch the case on the part of that parish, to which the infant had been left chargeable. From the evidence of Michael Brennan, porter of St. Martin's Workhouse, it appeared that at half-past nine on the night of the 27th of September, he was informed that a male infant was lying on the steps of the register office at tached to the workhouse, and it was at once taken in and properly attended to. Last night the prisoner came to the house drunk, and asked if they knew anything of a child left on the door-step. He took her in to the matron, who asked her what she knew of the child, but she refused to give any information, but demanded to see the child, and said if they did not let her see it she would go to the police court. She was then taken into custody. A nurse from St. Martin's Workhouse produced the in fant, and the prisoner assumed excessive affection towards it, calling it her " poor dear child ;" and in defence said, when she left St. Giles's Workhouse, where she was con fined, she gave it to a woman to hold, and though she made inquiries could not find it again. Tho prisoner, who conducted herself in a very impudent manner, was remanded. T STEPNEY. ADJOURNED INQUEST-(THIS DAY. The adjourned inquest upon the body of Philip Yorath, a male child three weeks old, whose body was exhumed by order of the Home Secretary, was resumed this morning at the New Globe Tavern, Mile-end-road, before Mr. . Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex. Mr. Best, the barrister, appeared to watch the case on the part of the Rev. J. Bonwell, incumbent of St. Philip's, Stepney. The first witness called was Mrs. Condor, who said—l reside at No. 4, Underwood street, Mile -end, and am a widow. I am a nurse. On the 10th or 11th of September I was sent for to nurse a lady by Dr. Godfrey's assistant. He accompanied me to the place I was to go to. It was at the school-house be hind Stepney Church. When I got there I found Dr. Godfrey, a lady, and Mr. Bonwell. The room was not furnished as a bed-room. It was an empty room, with a bed in it. It was made upon planks. A Juror—Planks ? Witness—l mean forms. There was neither chairs nor tables in the room. I have never before attended as nurse to a case of Dr. Godfrey's. I don't know the name of the lady. She was delivered of a male child on the Friday morning ; that was the morning following the night I went there. It was about 12 o'clock when I first arrived at the school-house. The assistant to Dr. Godfrey knocked at the door, and I was then let in. I don't think the child, when born, was full grown. Dr. Godfrey was present at the birth. Mr. Bonwell was down stairs. The mother had no milk for three days after the birth ; she did not suckle the baby at all. I remained at the school-house with the lady for twelve days. Dr. Godfrey attended as the medical man the whole of the time I was there. No one came to see the mother of the child during the time I was there but Dr. Godfrey. Mr. Bonwell of course was always coming in and out. He used to come every day. I left the schoolhouse on the twelfth day after I arrived. On the Tuesday week after the confinement I, the lady, and the infant left the schoolhouse and proceeded to an hotel over London-bridge. I don't recollect the name. I am sure I cannot remember it. It was about nine o'clock at night when we left. We went in a cab. The lady told the cab man where to drive to. When we got to the hotel we found rooms had been taken for us. While we were there Dr. Godfrey continued to attend. I went on one occasion to fetch . him. The child had everything in the way of . nourishment that could be got. It had fresh milk as well as other things. It would not take its food from a spoon. I considered the child ailing from its birth. Thechild refused to take its milk from a bottle. This took place at the school house. The master (Mr. Bonwell) took the top of the bottle to see whether there was anything to prevent the milk coming out. Having found that there was nothing to impede the milk flowing, a second and third bottle was pr o cured, but the baby refused to take its food from either. We tried to feed it with a spoon but he seemed to have something in its throat that prevented its swallowing. No medicine was given as it could not swallow. Dr. Godfrey ordered chalk and magnesia, but the baby refused to take it. The child refused all kinds of nouishment. The child also refused its medicine, so it did not get any. The Coroner —How many days were you at the hotel ? Witness—l can't say. When the lady left the hotel I did not go with them. By them I mean Mr. Bonwell, the lady, and the baby. They went to the London-bridge station. T don't know where they went ; I don't know which of the railways it was. I never expected to see them again; I however got a note requesting me to come imme diately to the hotel, and there I found the lady and baby very ill. When the child died it was three weeks and a day old. Dr. Godfrey was there on the Friday, but no person but the mother and myself Nr.;:s present when the child died, on Saturday morning at four o'clock. Coroner—Do you mean to say that all this time you did not learn the lady's name ? Witness—l do. I don't even know now. ' Coroner—Who paid you? Witness—Mr. Bonwell. Coroner—Did you give information that the birth of the child ought to be registered P Witness—Yes. The birth of the child was registered at at a place over London-bridge. A Juror—That was the death. Was the birth of the child registered at the time it was born at the school-house ? Witness—No. A Juror—You understand the difference between regis tering a birth and a death. Witness—Yes. A Juror—Then, was the birth of the child registered a Stepney ? Witness—No. Coroner—Do you know anything about the burial of the child ? Witness—No ; I know nothing about it. I left the dead child at the hotel. Cross-examined by Mr. Best—The lady had a very bad confinement. There was a great deal of trouble taken to get life in the child. I declare to God there was as much care taken of the child as if it had teen my own. The mother was very fond of the child. I- thought she would go out of her mind when it died. A Juror—Did the motherhave milk before the child died ? Witness—Yes ; but the child refused to take it. Elizabeth Bacon said—l live at 3, Westi-cottages, South end. lam not married. I get my living by hard work. No lady of the name of Yorath, between 12th and 29th of September, was living with me. I know nothing about such a lady. All I know is that Mr. Bonwell called on me, and asked me if any letters came for Miss Yorath to take them in. I did receive some, and posted them in directed envelopes. Mr. Bonwell directed the envelopes. A Juror—How were the envelopes directed ? Witness—l don't recollect the address, further than that the letters were sent to Mr. Bonwell, Stepney. Emma Mitchell said I reside at the Sussex Hotel, Duke street, Southwark. I have charge of the upper part of the hotel. A gentleman of the name of Bonwell engaged a sleeping room there last Tuesday for a lady, nurse, and a baby. The gentleman told me it was his sister. The lady, nurse, and child came the same night. They remained till the following Saturday. They arrived about eight o'clock in the evening. I saw the child every day. It never seemed very lively ; it was quiet. It took the bottle freely, and quite enough nourishment for an infant of its age. I saw it fed with a spoon. I never saw the mother suckle the child. After the lady left she returned in a few days. The day after the child became poorly, on the Wednesday it became ill, and the doctor was sent for. It died on Satur day morning, the 3d September, at about 11 in the morn ing. A doctor attended deceased. I never saw the child take any medicine. I was not present when the child died. I saw it shortly after. The body was removed cn Saturday evening by an undertaker, who brought a shell with him. I never heard that more than one doe • attended. I never know the name of the lady. Mr. ffonwell paid me. On• the Wednesday after she left she called and asked me if her brother had called. Juror—Who did she mean by her brother? Witness—Mr. Bonwell. Juror—Did Mr. Bonwell ever sleep there ? Witness—Yes, one night. Juror—How do you know it was Mr. Bonwell ? Witness—Only by reading it in the papers. Coroner—That will not do. Have yott seon the gentle • man here this morning ? Witness—Yes, I have seen him down stairs. Witness continued—l asked the doctor what was the matter with the child after it died, but I got no satisfactory answer. The child was very young, and appeared healthy. When the doctor was sent for on the Wednesday, I saw the child the following day. It was very much convulsed. Warm milk was given to baby. Coroner —Did it take it ? Witness—Yes. Coroner—Did you see the child on the Friday ? Witness—Yes, it was still convulsed. On the evening it appeared easier, but it died at 4 o'clock the next morning. I don't know whether the doctor attended on the Friday. I don't think the child was more drowsy the first week than other children, but the second week it appeared to sleep a great deal. When I saw it on Friday evening I did not anticipate its death. • Coroner—Then, as I understand you, the lady came to the hotel on Tuesday and left the following Saturday. She returned the next Monday and remained till the Saturday, and then again left. During the whole of that time do you mean to say that you did not learn the lady's name? Witness —Yes. As the child died on Saturday morning I asked Mr. Bonwell in the evening if he was going to re move the body. He said he had spoken to an undertaker about it. I don't know the undertaker's name. After the lady left the hotel for good, I found some stockings. There was a name on the stockings, but I can't remember whether it was Yorath. I will swear I cannot recollect. Tho mother seemed to feel the loss of her child. As far as I could see the infant appeared to receive every attention. Cross-examined by Mr. Best—l have not been speaking as a nurse. When Mr. Bonwell slept at the house, he oc cupied a different part of the house to the lady. When the undertaker was in the room I was not. I did not see the there. put.lt is ot the e t the s l t i o d m s possible.

He said—l am surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital. I have made a post mortem examination of the body of a male child. It was in a shell. I found the body of a nine months' child, much corrupted lying on its right side. The face and head were a good deal decomposed, the tongue protruding, the abdomen dis tnded. There were no external marks of violence. The body appeared emaciated, the limbs particularly so. I, opened the body and remov e d th e lungs and heart. They were fresh. I placed a portion of one lung in water and it floated, showing that the child had breathed. The lungs were quite healthy. Tho whole intestinal canal was a deep claret colour. .I did not deem it right to open the intestines alone, and I suggested Dr. Letheby should be consulted. I placed the whole of the intestines of the body in a jar. On opening the head the brain flowel out. I sealed the jars and delivered them myself to Dr. Letheby. Cross-examined by Mr. Best—To the best of my belief the child is a nine months' child. There is not much differ ence between an eight or nine months' child. Eight months' TRB MYSTE. THAMES. THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN THE-EAST.-Mr. Robert Rosier, a clothier, in St. George. street, better known as Ratcliffe lEghway, appeared before Mr. Yardley, on his recognisances, to answer a charge of being disorderly, and inciting a mob to commit a breach of the peace as Wellelose-square, opposite the Rev. Bryan King's mission church, on the evening of Sunday the 25th ultimo. • The defendant in this case prosecuted Captain Savage all, of Carlisle-street, Suho, a few weeks since for assaul ing him in the parish church of St. George's-in-the-East after the termination of one of the rector's tractarian ser vices. That prosecution was instituted by the churchwar dens, and Mr. Howell, the vestry clerk of St. George's, instructed Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, to support it. In the . . discussion that ensued upon the case it turned out that Captain Hall was a private friend of the rector's, and it was urged on his behalf that he only struck out with his umbrella to save the officiating clergyman and choristers from being injured by a disorderly mob in the church. Mr. Yardley advised an apology which had been ten dered, but not accepted at the station-house on the even ing of the disturbance. Mr. Joseph. Smith, on the part of Captain Hall, tendered rather an equivocal apology, .and there it is believed the matter would have ended, but Captain Hall afterwards' wrote a letter to the editor of a morning paper, denying that he had apologised or meant to make an apology. The present charge against 111. Rosier arose out of the disturb ance which occurred opposite the rector's mission church of St. Saviour and St. Cross after the termination of divine service on the evening of the 25th ult. A police sorg,eLnt, named Barnes, 10 11, swore Mr. Rosier was in the midst of a disorderly mob, hissing the Puseyite clergyman and choristers on their way from the church to the mission-house. Mr. Yardley was disposed to.treat the mob as an unlaw ful assemblage collected for an illegal purpose, in which every one was liable to be indicted and put on his trial whether committing any overt act or not ; and eventually said it would depend very much on the state of the parish on the forthcoming Sunday as to the course he should take in this case. Since the first hearing Mr. Rosier has addressed a letter to contemporary journals denying all participation in the disturbances in Wellclose-square, and imputing the prosecution to a conspiracy on the part of the Puseyites, who were determined to be revenged because he had prose cuted a leader of the rector's party for assaulting him in St. George's Church. While Mr. Yardley was disposing of the night charges, the court rapidly filled with people interested in the religious discussions of St. George's-in-the-East. After the last night charge was disposed of, Mr. Rosier surrendered at one o'clock. Mr. Joseph Smith appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Charles Young said he appeared for the defence, and that ho was not acquainted with the evidence given on a former occasion. Mr. Yardley—Are things more quiet in the parish of St Georges? Mr. Young—They are, sir. .. _ Mr. Smith was glad to say that people were settling down into quietude in St. George's. Mr. Yardley—Will it be necessary to pursue this ease ? Mr. Smith—l will leave it to you, sir. Mr. Yardley—l would rather it would be at your sug gestion, Mr. Smith—There is a case of spitting at a curate in the course of this disturbance. Mr. Yardley—The great object is to restore peace and quietude. We must do all we can in those cases to bring people to reason on one side and on the other. Ho hoped people knew the danger of going into crowds. Mr. Smith said his client would acquiesce in the augges ion to withdraw the charge on Mr. Rosier consenting to be ound over to keep the peace. Mr. Yardley—A pure and simple withdrawal would be much bettor. After some discussion this was agreed upon, and Mr. 'Yardley said that if there was any more riot ing he should commit the offenders for trial if they were brought before him. Ho alluded to the Gor don riots of 1780, and said those times must not be revived in 1859, and that mob 'law must be put down and could not be tolerated in this country. He hoped this would be the last case of the kind ho should hear of. Mr. Rosier was then discharged. NEW LIGHTHOUSE. A new lighthouse is in course of erection near the India Arms, in Northfleet Hope, by the conservators of the Thames for the purpose of assisting the passage of the river at night. DIMITHERIA.—This disease has appeared in Canterbury in a virulent form. A family of children have been swept away within the last few days, one child dying on Friday, one on Saturday, and the third on Sunday morning. THEPEIIIa—The Manitear de la Elate gives the following details relative to the branches of the Peiho : —" The province of the Pe-tchi-li, situated on the exten sive bay of that name, to the south of the great wall, has been increased during the last few years by a portion of Mandchourie. Its length is now about 500 kilo. (1 ths of a mile each), and its breadth 350. The name it bears may be translated by the words Province of the Northern Court.' It is divided into 11 departments, subdivided into arrondis sements and districts. The reads, the fortifications, and the defences in this province arc kept in good condition, which is explained by the fact that it contains Pekin, the capital or the empire. The province is traversed by a large navigable river, the now celebrated Peiho. This river rises in the Khingtan mountains, crosses Mon golia, enters the province of Pe-tchi-li, where it divides itself into branches, which fall into tha gulf above-named at about 80 kilometres one from the other. The principal branch is the Peiho ; the other arm is little known, and only stands in the charts of the Chinese pilots. The Peiho passes within twenty-four kilometres of Pekin, and at the part of it nearest to the capital is built the fort Toting. From that fort to the town of Tien-Sing, a distance of 36 kilometres, the communication is by a canal having only a depth of about five fret. Long flat-bot tomed junks are used on it, which are drawn by oxen along a towing path, similar to to the mode adopted in Europe. From Tien-Sing to the mouth of the river the Pci ho becomes deeper, and it may be remembered that at tha time of the expedition under the com mand of Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, first class gun boats were able to ascend as far as that town, but cor vettes and even steam advice boats were compelled to remain outside the point of Take, in the Bay of Pe-tchi li. The other Arm, called Ki-Tcheou-yun-he, is situated more to the north. Corvettes and steat advice boats can ascend it as far as the town of Nin-ho-fou, but after that place the river becomes wider, but shallower, and can only be navigated on a kind of raft. This route for arriving at the capital is less direct and more difficult than by Tien-Sing on the Peiho branch, but the latter is considered by the Court of Pekin as a strategical road, which is interdicted to foreigners."

Bruce, C. 8., her Majesty's Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary in China. Among the despatches we find the following from Lord John Russell, approving of the measures taken by Mr. Bruce at the mouth of the Peiho LORD J. RUSSELL To AIR. BRUCE. commissioners, and of the firmness with which you resisted their attempts to dissuade you from insisting upon the strict fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of Tien tsin. That treaty provided for the exchange of ratifica tions at Pekin on a day not later than the 26th of June of the present year, a time so nearly at hand as not to admit of any further delay. You were enjoined by the instructions given you by the Earl of Mahnesbury, on your departure from England, to insist upon being received at Pekin, and to refuse to ex change ratifications at any other place. You were fur ther informed that it might be advisable before your departure from Shanghae to send an intimation to Pekin of your approach, and to request that suitable arrange ments might be made for your honourable reception at the mouth of the Peiho, and at Tien-tsin, and for your journey from that place to Pekin. You were informed that the Admiral in command of her Majesty naval forces in China had been directed to send up with you to the mouth of the Peiho a sufficient naval force, and you were instructed that unless any unforeseen circumstances should appear to make another arrangement more advisable, it would seem de sirable that you should reach Tein-tsin in a Britishship of-war. Your conduct, therefore, in insisting upon bein,s , re ceived at Pekin and in proceeding to the mouth of the Peiho, was in strict conformity with your instructions. Upon arriving at the mouth of the Peiho you were placed in circumstances of great difficulty, in selecting the course you were to pursue, you were obliged to found that course mainly upon presumptive evidence. In these circumstances you had to weigh contingencies upon which no safe calculation could be made. I can only say, therefore, that her Majesty's Government, without being able in the present state of their information, to j - rage precisely what measures it might have been most ad visable for you to adopt at the moment, see nothing in the decision you took to diminish the confidence which they repose in you. Her Majesty deeply regrets the loss of life which at tended the gallant though unsuccessful efforts of the Brttish and French forces to clear the passage of the river. But her Majesty has commanded preparations to be made which will enable her Forces, in conjunction with those of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, to support you in the execution of the instructions which will be hereafter ad dressed to you.—l have, &c., (Signed) J.

Their agents have within the last few days exhausted all their ingenuity to counteract the effect of the statements which have been made in our columns, and to beat down prices. The factors have been going about with the story that Mr. Bass has made up his mind not to buy a hop as long as present prices are adhered to, and that he means to go to Bavaria. One of our able cor respondents on this subject says that Mr. Bass has distinctly stated that he would never go abroad while ho could get East Kent hops. But suppose he had said the reverse and stuck to it, what would it matter except to his customers? Does any planter believe for a moment that East Kent hops will not fetch their price this year ? He need have no fear. There is an unlimited market for fine hops, if the planters will only now stand together, and secure it. If the half-dozen great brewers will not buy, there are a thousand small brewers who will, and the only difference will be that the planter will get a fair price for his produce, and the consumption of bitter beer will greatly increase, because the public will get it cheaper. But the truth is that the great brewers must buy, and they know it. We are glad to learn, by one of the letters we publish to-day that the brewers throughout the country are fast becoming alive to their own in terest, and are securing choice growths of hops without troubling the merchants. This is good news. The mercha n t s h ave p ursue d their ingeni ous system of trade long enough, and if they do not see the propriety of changing it altogether, we should be extremely gratified to see them retire upon their enornious fortunes. For our own part we have greater confidence that fine growths of hops will reach higher prices than at present, and that those who do not buy now will have to give those higher prices. All depends upon the firm ness of the planters at this juncture.—Kentish Gazette. TIIE FORBES MACKENZIE ACT.—Two cases were tried in the police-court, Edinburgh, on Friday, which il lustrates a peculiar oppressive feature in the Forbes Mac ' kenzie Act. One of the chief objects of the act was to sepa rate, so far as possible, the trade of the g rocer or provision dealer from that of the publican ; and the license granted to the former class expressly prohibit the sale of exeiseable liquors for consumption on the premises. In like manner the publican is restricted from selling groceries or provisions to be consumed off the premises. It so happens that these two clauses would, if enforced, completely extinguish the trade of the increasing class of keepers of restaurants and of refreshment rooms at railway stations and elsewhere. In Edinburgh the fashionable restaurateurs in some cases take out a "grocer and spirit dealer's" licence, but this prohibits them from selling a glass of wine at the counter; others take out the publican's certificate, which prohibits them selling a biscuit or bun to auy one who does not choose to sat it on the premises. It is almost superfluous to say that the Act is habitually transgressed on both sides, for, whatever kind of licence he holds, the restaurateur or c on f ec ti oner i s constantly in the habit both of supplying wine to be drunk on the premises and of supplying baked meats and dressed provisions for consumption off the premises. As the law stands, the purveyor of refreshments to a jury sitting in court, or to a dinner or supper party, is liable to prosecu tion if he takes the publican's or innkeeper's Bootee, — which licence is the only one compatible with the exercise of his ordinary business. The keeper of a licenced refresh ment room at a railway station, in like manner is liable to prosecution for whatever he may sell to a passenger taking his pu rc h ase w i t h hi m i nto the carriage. The present inquiry of the Royal Commission on the Licens ing System of Scotland has had one effect, in greatly stimu lating the police and other authorities to the enforcement of the act; and, in order that the act might be tested in all its bearings, the two cases referred to were brought before the Edinburgh Police-court on Friday. One was the case of Mr. David Doull, keeper of a first-class restaurant in Princes-street. Edinburgh, and the other was that of Mr. David Ridpath, the keeper of the North British Railway sta tion refreshment-room, and who happens to be one of the councillors of the city. Police constables and other wit nesses were called to prove the sale in the one case of some biscuits and tarts; and, in the other of some muffins which were carried by the purchaser off the immediate premises. The presiding magistrate, Bailie Cassels, said he had no al ternative but to administer the law as it stood, however al.surd and oppressive he felt it to be, and ho imposed in each case the lowest penalty authorised by the statute, — namely, 255. Bailie Forrester, who was also present, strongly recommended the parties to bring their ease before the Royal Commission, being convinced that in any future legislation on tho subject a grievance like the present could not be overlooked. The case will no doubt bo brought be fore the Royal Commission- (who arc now in the north of Scotland) on their return to Edinburgh, where their inves tigation is to close.
