Mr. Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, fi re* ar it, of £5l was voted to .the crew .of the Pakefield lifeboat, which-is in connection .with the National Lifeboat Institution, in acknowledgment' of their gallant conduct in rescuing, at great peril to their lives, eight of the crew of the barque Joints; which' was wrecked dur ing .a heavy gale of wind on the Newcombe Sands, on the ith ult. The lifeboat's brave crew have_ also received sill stantial acknowledgments fir their ser vices from elsewhere. A reward of £l6 was also voted to the &Orr of the Institution's lifeboat,sta 7 tioned at Dungeness,. in acknowredgipent of their gallant services during the dark and stormy night of the 19th- ult., in • putting . off' .with the view of rescuing the crew of the brigantine Jane May, of Falmouth, which was totally wrecked off No. 2 Bat tery. ...Finding , Ithwever, no boats onr)the and concluding that the crew had left in them for the shore, the 'lifeboat returned to land after some-hours of incessant and-perilous toil. A reward. of £1 11 ) 3: was also toted: to . the crew of the so ciety's...lifeboat stationed. at Llanddwyn, on the Anglesey coast,. for putting off in her during, a heaNT•gale of wind with the view of rescuing the crpwq the fiat Uncle Tom, of Runcorn, which had .a flag of distress flying. Some of the lifeboat's crew hewing, boarded the vessel, afterwards assisted her in .getting under weigh and in brinsing her to a place of safety. The thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum,- was voted to Mr. G. C. Jones, '.',F . hiefpfAcer of coastguard, and £2l to hig crew, for • going.MY in the Skerries lifeboat to the rescue of the crew afthe schooner Mary, of Carnarvon, which was during a heavy gale of wind wrecked off Bal briggan on -the- 9th nit A whale boat, however,- manned' by men, was carried over the iocki leeWircl.of the vessel , and in comparatively' smooth. water .succeeded in reaching the wreck and in taking off her exhausted crew, just as the life bout had -after two- attempts ; Overcome the princi pal difficulty in weathering the point. - - A large Aubscriptipn had beega colfectO locally to reward whale-boat's crew, to whom were -also voted the Vhanks of the institution on vellum. It is impossible ndequatoly to describe the courage and self-devo tion of those brave men Who constantly man the lifeboats. In the dark hour of the night, when the tempest, lightning, and. thunder, are enough to appal the stoutest. heart, -these. men. are . at. their post of duty, and it is worthy of record that, while scores of poor creatures have been saved from a Watery ' grave the 'society has not had to lament the loss of a single-man,. lthough . its .lifeboats are constantly engaged in the most perilous nndertakinfp. A new lifeboat was ordered to- be built for Fleetwood, on the Lancashire tout: • • The• institution had. sent during tlle past month - four new lifeboats to besta l tioned at Cromer.. and gaeton (Norfolk), Fraser, burgh, and Dundrum .Bay...iit was stated that the receipts of the institution,censidering its extensive sphere of operations, were comparatively limited, but - that the. .demands' on its funds were very heavy,.. but. that . .the oomtnittee were compelled, in order to meet: the same, to sell a portion of the society's small funded capital ; it is therefore manifest that - if the , - National Life boat Institution =3a tO .......... present, high po sition as one of the.most. important :and useful of our national societies, - :the Aid . of the benevolent; should - be liberally extended to it. it was reported, that a lady who - has on former occasions liberally cOntributed to the institntion had presented to it again £l5O towards the cost of a lifeboat, the same to be named - after a bit;tl;c:. - w - ho'ivia a sailor, and who had ofteiLteen. inatimnental inStivinglifefrom shipwreck. Some- appropriate- remarks were made on the unceasing:attention - of the - chairman, Mr. Chapman,, to the great interests of this institution ; and Mr: Petike was thanked for-an excellent draw ing of a lifeboat Suitable to , localities where few boatmen are resident. An interesting report was read by Capt., Wahl, R.N., the inspector of lifelooats to the institution, on - his recent inspection of the lifeboats of the society stationed on - ; the- east and north-east coasts of England.

Dur hig the morning the saui disgt.Sting prciceedings described yesterday were continued by the band of roughs _and - navvies , employed to 'pursue the work of desecration.

The navvies ling at last unable to work from the missilei thrown, suddenly-made.. - a sally amongst - the:crowd, and several people.were injured. One poor boy had his eye nearly cut out by one of these brutes, and 6m-eyed to the hospital. The stench at the-time was abominable.

PULPIT _DENUNCIATION OF RIBANDISNI. - An influential Roman • Catholic clergyman, the Very Rev, Dean . Kieran, of Dundalk, - has just set a good example for the imitation of his reverend brethren of,all degrees. On Sunday. last, from the _p4pit.of his cathedral and in thenresence of a fall congregation, he boldly denonnemithevile Riband conspiracy, the existence of which; ifthe Nation be good thith.ority, is at present' as great a fact as it was'l9 y.en.rs .back, .when its branches took root in: half the counties of Ulster, and more partially in ; other parts of Ireland The syStein (said . Dean Kieran); lvas•at once an outrage on religion and - a foul blot ` 'on civilisation. It converted men into niuraeiei7s, perjurersinto enemies alike of God and roan . He. hoped his voice would reach the victinis of a terrible.and wicked delusion. He would not be deterred - from doing his duty.' Unless the com bination were at oncelbrOken up he would expose thenl naes. ot.Ull guilty parties that might come to his knowledge, and , call on their employers to dis 'thiss them from• their service: Drunkenness. was a fertile propagator of Ribandism. Whonnien's bad passions were excited theh they. became the :prey low publicans, who were:zealou.s: agents in any cause, however. obnoxious to religion or morals, which would. bring them. customers. The Very Rev. Dean 'then said he was so impressed with the conviction that drunkenness, was a'prolific source Of Ribandism .and the .worst-vice& and crimes which would disgrace. a .conimunity.thot he would esta blish a Tetal — Abstinenee Society under his own presidency, and aVitil • himself ~every conceis, able- appliance to eradiCate a moral pestilence rich led-to the.. destruction- alike of body and soul, Though -he would be sorry indeed to in jure the wives • and • children: even of • Ribandmen or 'of those Who for their duties to their families, hg e, thosp aplAded, .men.warning that persistence in their wicked course of life would leave him•no excuse_whateverfor failing to publish their names'ancl publicly denounce the abettors of a secret and infernal ; tyranny which set at, defiance tho ordinances of religion and the laws of the country " In coiniiiion with the alleged spread of the Riband conspirtiey a Conservative paper published in Kerry (the 'Breniv 'Post) ~ has the following paragraph :—""Thathanefiii Conspiracy; Riban dism, has; . regret . crept - into our county, hitherto so free from , - agrarian- crime.

Queenstown on Sunday night last _on _botFd. her Majesty's iteamship-Hawke : " A court of inq_uiry is. at—present investigating Wants, and all statements relative to the occurrence must be received with great caution. Since our last publication, however, we have received from a respectable arid reliable source the following ac count of wb at occurred on board the Hawke on Sunday night, which we are inclined to believe in the main correct. It seems that on Sunday night the ship was left in charge of the third lieutenant, the "captain being; in Bantry, and the first and second lieutenant dining- with the admiral of the port. The officer on board the ship had invited a gentleman to dine with him. About 10 o'clock both appeared on deck, and the officer directed the gustier to call up the men and fire a volley in honour of the night. The gunner expostulated and stated it was against the regulations of the navy, but his superior having indignantly desired him to obey his orders or abide by the consequences of a refusal, he was bound to-comply: The drum beat to quarters, and the men got up from their hammocks and appeared on deck. The officer in question then directed the gunners to fire seven guns on the starboard side. His instructions were obeyed, and the guns pounded away, shaking the windowsof the houses in Queens town. and alarming the peaceful inhabitants. 'Now tre off four guns from the port side,' said the officer, and it was done. ' Fire off again .11 guns from the starboard,' again the order was obeyed. At this - period all, Queenstown was up and out, the great greatest consternation prevailing. The officer on board the flagship Nile thought that a mutiny had broken out among the men belonging to her, and sent two midshipmen, each in .command of a boat's crew, to ascertain the cause of the firing ; but when they came alongside the Hawke the officer in charge told them that if they did not move off immediately he would give orders to have them fired upon. They accordingly re turned to their ships. Again the guns blazed away —one, two, or three at time, and it is probable this exercise *mild have continued for a consider- I able length of time, but that the officer at whose instance they had been fired received a severe fall on deck, and- wa x unable to give an further direc tions. He was removed to his i varters by his friend. The following morning, whh en the admiral came on board, he found the deck in great confu sion, a large quantity of powder being strewn about it. The officer was directly placed under arrest. We understand that he is the son of an admiral who rendered good services to the country, that he himself, though. a young man, has also been distinguished for bravery, and that it was only recently he returned from China •in an invalided state. From this last circumstance it has been inferred that his intellect was a little weakened and that it was during a temporary aberration the freak took place. We understand that he applied lately for leave of absence, but was refused by the Admiralty." , . , , THE POISONINGS AT. BRADFORD. BRADFORD; WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The excitement and consternation in the town and neighbourhood arising from the wholesale poi soning of the population by the sale of lozenges in which 121 b. of arsenic had been accidentally mixed, instead of an adulterating comßound called terra alba, or Derbyshire spar, extensuyely used in the , manufacture of cheap confeetionmy,' have been in creased rather than abated by the further investiga . tion into the circumstances and by the additions that are-almost hoUrly 'reported to the list of suf ferers. Yesterday Morning - the prisoner Wm. Goddard, Mr. Hodgson's assistant, who made the mistake in supplying the arsenic, -was 'again - brought before the magistrates. -•• • - • Inspector Burniston, of the-police force,. detailed the circumstances= under which he discovered on Sunday night: that the accident . had - occurred. After tracing the lotenges from the seller, William Hardaker, to Joseph .Neal, the ma - nufacturer, he called, on the latter; and with him proceeded to Shipley, where Goddard told them that his master, who was bed-When Neal's Man called 'for the " daff," or terra alba, had informed him it was in a cask. in the cellar, from which he weighed 121 b. He then took them to the 'eellir and showed them the cask, but When:Mr. Neal-lOoked at it he said at once it was not- 44 As• they were conjecturing what it might be Mr. Hodgson came in and told them at once - it was arsenic. - Witness -stated that there was no label on the cask, or anything to in dicate that it containedpoison. The lid was broken in three:places, end it was asas= unprotected as any other article in the cellar. •• • . , James Archer, the man who brought the arsenic from Shipley, proved having received it from God dard, and its delivery, at Mr. Neal's premises, but in cross-examination ho admitted that Goddard told him Mr. Hodgson said it would be better for him to let it alone till he could comedown himself, and it was only when he asked him to.oblige him with 121 b. weight that he gave it. Mr. Bell, surgeon, who attended' some of the per sons who died from eating the lozenges, stated that their deaths_ were caused by poison, -and that he had analysed one of the lozenges and found that - it contained pois'on. - Mr. F. M. Rimmington, an analytical chemist in Bradford, was next called, and deposed that he had analysed some .of the lozenges he had received from the previous witness. Each of them contained arsenic in large bulk, but he 'did not ascertain the exact, quantity in each. Taking the quantities of sugar, " daff," and gum-which had been stated by ithe chief constable and Mr. Neal to have been used in the composition of 'the lozenges to be orrect, each .lozenge would contain 9; grains; half of which was amply sufficient to destroy life. He had examined , a sample 'of the " daft' It was ;imply plaster of Paris, or sulphate of lime, and was dot injurious to health in the small quantity in which it was given in the lozenges. - James Appleton, a working confectioner, who made the poisoned lozenges, said; that after work ing at them from 6 in the morning till 1 . 1 or 12, he was taken so ill with vomiting and pains in the face and arms that he had to go home, and was ill for some days, but he had no suspicion it arose from the lozenges. Joseph Neal was examined at some length, and spoke to the extensive use made of daff" in the adulteration of cheap spices, He stated that, after supplying Hardaker with the 401 b. of lozenges, all that was left, including the " scraps," :were put into Scotch mixtures in his own shop : but his wife and himself had beeii - efigaged — since in picking them out. In this way lie had recovered four or .five pounds' weight - of poisoned lozenges, and burnt them. He stated that he had a considerable quan tity of the mixture in his shop yet ; upon which The magistrates directed the police to take pos session of the whole of it, which was done, Mr. Neal delivering up the key of his shop for the purpose. After hearing some other evidence, the magis trates directed Mr. Hodgson, chemist, of Shipley, to be taken into custody, and he was. immediately apprehended and placed in the dock. The ease was then remanded -till to-day. This morning the prisoners Goddard and Hodg son were again brought up, when some of ,the for mer evidence was-recapitulated. - _ _ Mr: Leveratt, chief constable, stated that th e link . wanting the chain of evidence to connect the pri soners with the poison,in the lozenges could now be supplied, a death • having occurred that morning, and they would be able to prove that the 'lozenges that caused it were -purchased at Hardaker'S He also stated that' in accordance with instructions from the bench, detective efficel - 'Shnttleworth ac companied Neal on the preVious evening to-his shop in the market, where he found 211 b. of Scotch mix titres. They were brought to the police office and emptied on to a table, where he (Mr LeVeratt) com menced to pick - out lozenges and scraps • similar to these containing poison. While so engaged, he was seized with illness, felt an oppressive sensation on the chest, and acute pain-in - the nostrils and eyes. Mr. Shuttleworth-stated that 'after he had seized the mixtures at Neal's shop - on the previous after; non Neal -ran .away from him in the direction of his workshop. The officer folloWed, _and when he gotinto the house Neal was sitting by the fire.- The officer went up sstairs,rs, , and found on the . tables, ' boards, and ,slabS . many pieces of the poisoned 14zenges. ... • The Mayor, after consulting with the magistrates directed Neal to be taken-iota custody, which was done, and he was placed in the dock-with the other two prisoners. " The evidence of Mr. Leveratt and Mr. Shuttle worth having . been again gone through, with the view of allowing Neal's attorney to cross-examine them, the magistrates retired, and after an absence of half-an-hour the Mayor said they *had agreed to remand all the three prisoners on the charge of man slaughteritill Friday.

THE ARMY STORE AND CON - TRACT COMMISSION. THE WOOLWICH ESTABLISHMENT. Yesterday the Royal Commission appointed to in quire into the army contract and store system re assembled at Woolwich Arsenal, pursuant to ad journment from Thursday last. Mr, Selfe presided as chairman. _ _ Mr. Howell, head of the contract department at. the War-office, who had been examined on a previ ous day, was now recalled, and put in a written list of all purchases of timber Made for Woolwich Arsenal from Jan. 1854, to Sept, 1858. These piir chases were made by brokers. Witness also put in a letter from Capt. Farmer, head of the royal carriage department, setting forth that he had. con= sulted the heads of various departments and several merchants, relative to the system of buying through brokers, and they were all of a decided opinion that the timber could he had at a much cheaper rate by Government buying it direct from the importers ; besides, he considered the heads of departments at Woolwich to be much better judges of the timber required than brokers could be. The witness also read a list of queries addressed- by him to Messrs. Churchill and Sim, brokers, as to their system of purchasing timber and their replies. Prior to Col. Tulloch's letter of Sept.,- 1856, -it- Was not usual to get the names of the sellers from the brokers. The names of the sellers is an additional perfection in the system. The timber was formerly inspected at Woolwich. In 1855 Mr. Thiwson, - of -Prince's wharf, Lambeth, offered. a reduction:of 2 per cent. on the price of deals if the selection was made at the docks instead of at Woolwich. They depended on the judgment of the brokers as to price, and on that of their own officers as to the quality of the timber: They sometimes- beught timber without the intervention of the broker. Mr. Turner—lf the broker acted bona fide ought not his judgment to be worth 1 per cent on all occasions ?- ' - • Mr. Howell—Certainly. Mr. Turner—l do not understand the system of sometimes having a broker and sometimes not. I should pay the broker his commission whether he purchased or not, because I should then con sider that his judgment was 'at my command. Mr. Howell said that, in the case of the cargo of the Princess Royal, about twelve months ago, Mr., Leary, a broker, told them. that there was but one' cargo of such timber as they wanted in the docks, and that they could buY it themselires and save the brokerage. • - Mr. Turner—That was a _most disinterested broker. (Laughter.) Mr. Howell—We have not invited tenders' since the change of sy.stem. We never received any thing that the timbermaster said was bad, though the broker should say it was good. At this stage of the examination a letter was read from Col. Tulloch, superintendent of the car riage department, in. which he advocated the sys tem of open competition as against the system of purchasing through a broker, and instanced cases in which the 'adoption of the latter system resulted in loss to the public. • Mr. Selfe—Colonel Tulloch is quite at issue with you on that point. - .Mr. Howell—We ought to have the cargo cost, the date of delivery, and the difference of price at the docks and in the department, in order to see the advantage or disadvantage of the two systems. The advantage of the brokerage system, if honestly carried out, was, in his opinion, palpable an ma r terial. - Mr. Turner—lf you have a broker who has a separate interest from that of the persons who em ploy him, you had better resort to the principle of competition ; but if you can get a man who will act thoroughly and diligently for your interest, I think he is worth his hire. Mr. Howell—l agree in that view of the general principle., Mr. Turner—You must conform.to the custom of the market. Dealers cannot follow any system but that which the trade adopts, except at a dis advantage, and for that they make you pay. Mr. Howell said he recommended purchases for the War Departm n ent t o e n xL t i limai t nd_Hd his very e principle. resent Captain Farmer, inspector of timber and harness at Woolwich, was ex office since luly, 1856. His attention had been Called to this subject in consequence of complaints respecting the inferior quality of the timber de livered into the department. Formerly they had the power of rejection. They have not under the present system. The timber was sent in through brokers. They bought a large quantity of Arch angel deals-30,000 —in 1856, for £l7 12s. 6d. the load. Was informed that they could buy the picked Onega deals in June, 1856, for £l6 10s. Some of the deals then bought were in the yard, and..were unfit for use. The witness 'was then examined with respect to the statement in his report, that in many cases the timber passed through several hands be tween the date of import and its coming into the hands of the Governnient, the broker receiving a commission on each separate transaction, and said that his authority for that statement was Mr. Ga briel. The witness mentioned a. case of this kind which occurred in June this year on the purchase of some sabica. Mr. Leary bought the timber from Mr. Rolt, who bought it from Mr. Hoare, and on each occasion there was a gain of a pound. Mr. Selfe—That transaction appears to have taken place in the June of this year, but in your report you are speaking of the result of your inquiry in October, 1856. Do you know from your inquiries whether Government have been " sweated" by brokers' commission being charged two or three times over ? Captain Farmer said Mr. Gabriel stated that it was the case, and it was not denied. It was as sumed to be a usual thing. Spoke to a good many merchants, whp told him that they could supply the Government at a cheaper rate than they were paying. Mr. DoWson, Mr. Gabriel, Mr. Rolt, Mr. and Mr. Grissell said so ; preferred to select the timber at the docks than at Woolwich. The department depended on dock measurement—itwas found to be generally accurate.. In August, 1857, 40 loads of mahogany ....ivere - boughtfor £l9 ss, a load. It' appeared that the price current at that time was Xl6. That would not be subject to rejection or selection at the docks. Would not expect a large per cottage to be charged for that condition. Could get equally good timber in his, opinion for Xl6. Last year went to the docks to Select from a cargo a certain quantity of timber ; saw a beautiful pile of timber om that ship in the docks, and insisted o nhaving it for the Government; as the parties were under contract ; Messrs. Churchill and Sim, the brokers, were unwilling to let him have it, but he carried his point after a good deal of difficulty ; in that case the Government brokers had been cer tainly acting for the sellers, and not for the buyers. Had he not been particular the Government would have lost the best pile in the ship. Mr. Selfe—ln that instance you think thebroker allowed the. interest of the seller to override the interest of the buier ? Witness--Prectsely so. Some timber had been bought by the Government as Porto Rico mahogany, but on inspection it was found not to be' Porto Rico. The firm who sold that timber . had shown most satisfactorily that they themselves had pur chased it at Porto. Rico. They were, therefore, exonerated from blame. Mr. G. Jones, timber master in the carriage de partment, was next examined. - He, said he had been in the department since 1840. If he objected to any timber it was rejected. Under the old sys tem there were a great many rejections at• times, and complaints were made bythe contractors. Some used to say they 'would never tender again, but when the time - came round they used to tender as usual. - (A laugh.) Never heard that any one was favoured at the expense of another. About three years ago a change took place by which we could not inspect the timber. The only intimation re ceived was that they were to receive the timlier. from certain brokers. The witness was examined at length as to the mode of inspecting and, measur ing timber, and gave it as his opinion that the best system of supplying the department with timber was that of competition. Mr. James Roberts, a timber merchant, was next i3zemined. He read a lepgthy statewent of his vies,.which were entirely opposed t►o the system sl :C......; 'i.'.1. , ;:1 Z::- --J J_.- - - of employing brokers as leading to favouritism, ex cluding the general public from the advantages of competition, and as causing the market to be in differently supplied. The witness in his paper made statements reflecting on other parties, but as they were not within the knowledge of the witness him self, but founded on the information of others, Mr. Selfe suggested that they had better not be taken down. Capt. Hilbury, to whom Mr. Roberts's statement referred, said that a great deal of what it contained as respected him was untrue. Mr. Howell said he never gave orders to buy at any particular price, as stated by Mr. Roberts. Mr. Leary and Mr. Sim denied on their parts the accuracy of his statements. Capt. Hilbury was next examined—Had been for many years an importer of African oak. Never told any person what his cargoes realised. Was satisfied with the price which Churchill and Sim obtained for him. It appeared from the evidence of this and other witnesses that he sold through Messrs. Churchill and Sim to Mr. Chapman a cargo of African oak, at about £9 10s. the load for the whole. Messrs. Churchill and Sim stipulated with Mr. Chapman that the Woolwich department should have the pick of the cargo. They accordingly bought 100 loads at £l5 10s. the load, the remaining portion being sold at various prices to the navy depart ment according to the quality of the timber. Capt. Hilbury said he was at first angry when he learned that the Woolwich department gave so much as £l5 10s. per load, but, on reflection, he saw that this was not unreasonable, because the department had the pick of the finest timber, and he would not allow the cargo to be broken up. If he allowed the finest timber to be selected he would find it diffi cult, and it would occupy too much of his time to sell the remainder ; he therefore preferred to sell the cargo without breaking bulk, and was satisfied with what the sale realised. Mr. Sim, the Government timber-broker, was next examined—He also handed in a written state ment, extending over 44 pages, which the chairman said could not be read at so late an hour. The wit ness said that he acted as broker to the Government since 1856. Timber was invariably sold by brokers. Had no doubt that the Government saved by the system of purchasing through brokers. Had some striking examples of that. In former times £45 had been frequently paid for Archangel deals, which were now bought for £l6 12s. 6d. As a general rule, the system of selection adopted by the depart ment obliged the broker to get an intermediate buyer who was willing to put himself in the gap to work off the surplus and inferior stock, after the selection was made. The price paid for the African oak was apparently large, but he believed the de partment would have to pay more under the system of competition. Under the old system, all the prin cipal dealers refused to tender for the Government contracts, and when they tendered at all it was at a price based on the increased trouble and inconveni ence to which they knew they would be put. Mr. Turner—Do you not think it would be a better and cheaper system if a whole cargo, such, for instance, as that of Captain Hilbury, were pur chased on behalf of the Government? The heads of departments could then select the portions in proportion to their various wants. The second and third qualities could probably be used in the navy yard or other departments, and what was unfit for use in the public departments might be sold for what it would fetch. Would not that be cheaper than the system now pursued ? Mr. Sim thought it would be impossible to carry it out. Each department would desire to get the best qualities for its own use. Mr. Howell said he entirely concurred in the view taken by Mr. Turner. Mr. Selfe thought the unserviceable stores would be greatly augmented by such a system. Mr. Sim—lt was the universal practice of the trade that the same mart should act as broker for buyer and seller. Had never declined to deal with any particular man. Did not wish to encourage speculative contractors. Mr. Sim's examination was not concluded when the commission adjourned, namely, at a quarter to six. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Nov. 4.) GUILDHALL.—Wm. Miller, a lad in the em ploy of Mr. J. M. Walter, paWnbroker, of Alders gate-street, was brought up on remand before Alderman Cubitt, charged with robbing his master of property to the amount of nearly £200; and Henry Hopkins, a preparer of cane for ladies' crino line, was placed at the bar,' charged with receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Albert Neate,: the solicitor to the Pawn broker's Association appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. nobler defended the boy Miller; and Mr. Drew, an aceoitntaht,' defended Hopkins. Mr. Neate—l appear in this case on behalf of the Pawnbrokers' Association, and they are anxious to punish the receiver rather than the boy, whom they would like to give another chance of retriev ing his character. I therefore propose to put the boy into the witness-box and . take his evidence against Ilopkiiis for receiving this property, as we think the lad has given us every possible information. Mr. Alderman Cubitt objected to this course at the present stage. Mr. Neate—Then I will call . before you several witnesses to show the connection between the two prisoners, and in what manner it commenced. Mr. Walter was then cross-examined for Hop kins.— The watch that the prisoner admitted taking I know was pledged at my shop, because the ticket was written out. I never saw the watch. - James Robt. Gunnis said—l was in Mr. Walter's employ. The prisoner Miller was 'there also, and Hopkins used to teach him the concertina. This was about six or eight months ago. I pointed Hop kins out as the man from a number of prisoners in Newgate on Tuesday last. Charles Weir, a lad employed at the Black Horse, Kingsland-road, said—l went to Newgate on Tiles- . day, and in one yard I pointed out Hopkins, and in .another yard Miller. I had seen them both at the Black Horse, but I am not certain that I ever saw them together. Mr. Jas. Gill, the landlord of the Black Horse, in the Kingsland-road, said--I have seen both Fir soners at my house, and they have been in front of the bar-as close as they are now in the dock, but I cannot remember ever seeing them in conversation. I went to Newgate, but did not recognise Hopkins among the prisoners, as he then had his hat on and walked very quick past me, so that I could not see his face, but when I saw him in the dock this morn ing without his hat I recognised him in an instant. I know him because he is a neighbour of mine. Had I seen his face in the first instance, I should have known him in a moment. . The prisoners were then remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jean Sarcias, Otherwise Victor, a professional singer, was brought before Mr. Bingham, in tustody* of the Liverpool police, charged with having conspired with others to cheat M. Paul Giiisdun, a French gentleman of fortune, of £2OO at cards. . . One of the confederates is in custody and under remand. The evidence, it will be recollected, was to the effect that a foreigner named Croquier intro duced the complainant to the prisoner and another foreigner named CazadoS, that they played at bacoasa" together, and that, after winning £2ot at various times from M. Guisdon, Croquier informed him that he had been cheated out of the money by means of marked eardS. - - Mr. Forester, from the office. of Mr. Beard, at tended to prosecute`; Mr. E.• Lewis for the prisoner. Mr. Forester said the prigoilerhad only just been brought from liveraool. He should do no more at iiraent than ask for a remand, Mr. Lewis submitted there was no ground . for a remand, inasmuch as the evidence only touched the other prisoner, and did not reach this one. M. P. Guisdon was called, At the_ examination of Cazados the prisoner at the bar was called Victor as he wen by that name. The prisoner was one of, the parties who played at " baccasa." Police-constable - Dodson, — 595 Liverpool - police, said, on Saturday night he went with the prosecu -ter to the London Hotel, in Liverpool, and took the prisoner into custody 'for robbing the prosecutor of £2OO at cards. The prisoner denied being at the gaming-room in Oxendon-street with the prosecu tor at all. He was only a poor artist, he said. Mr. Lewis contended there was not enough be• fore the Court to warrant a reinand. Mr. Bingham, after reading over the previous evidence, said the evidence against the prisoner de pended very much on the evidence of Croquier, who stated that cards were marked in his presence by Victor, and that marked cardswere used when a. particular sum of £55 was won from the prose cutor. Under all the circumstances he should re mand the prisoner, but admit him to bail. WESTMINSTER.—Esther Beresford, servant to Mrs. Wilson, 73, Denbigh-street, Pimlico, was re-examined, charged with robbing her mistress. A few days ago Mrs. Wilson and her son left the prisoner, who had only been in their service about f.month, in' charge of the house, and upon their return home they found that she had absconded, and that all the _plate was 'missing. Information was given to the police, and William Birch; .286:B, found the prisoner two or three days afterwards regaling herself iirtlieJaproom of a public-house at Lisson-grove 'She denied than her name was Beresford, or that she had everl:liied in Mrs. Wil son's service but upon the officer stating that he should take her in charge on sUspicion, she began and 04164 640u1d have -; done it but for „ , bad counsel. The officer took a pawnbroker's ticket from her hand relating to four silver table spoons, pawned at Mr. Reeves's, Chapel-street, E dg ware -road. Prisoner now pleaded guilty, and asked the ma gistrate to dispose of the case, instead of sending it before a jury. Mr. Arnold said that before passing sentence upon her he would ask her whether she was willing , to make the only reparation in her power by in forming her mistress what she had done with the remainder of the plate. Prisoner, after considerable hesitation, replied that she lost it. Mr. Arnold observed that he did not believe her. Instead of disposing of the case now, he would re mand her to give her time to think the matter over. If she concealed the fact of what had become of the remainder of the plate, she might depend upon receiving the severest sentence. She was then remanded for a week. WORSHIP-STREET.—PhiIip Hunt, a grocer in a small way of business in Davenport-street, Commercial-road, was charged before Mr. Hammill with cruelty to a horse. Jabez Heifer, one of the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said—l was in Spitalficlds-market this morning, when I saw a small bay horse in a cart laden with vegetables, continually lifting up one of its hind legs, and evi dently in very great pain. I was consequently in duced to examine the leg, and I must say that I never saw such a foot in my life, for full half of it was as nearly off as possible, and in addition there was a very large wound in the fetlock, from which purulent master was exuding. This induced a fur ther examination, and that resulted in the discovery of two more wounds, one on the shoulder and the third on the back as large as a half-crown. The poor animal was altogether in a most pitiable state. The defendant had driven the horse from the Com mercial-road, and excused himself by saying that he was a poor man with a large family. Mr. Hammill—l saw the horse as I entered the court this morning, and I must say that the sight was quite distressing. Defendant—l am really very sorry, sir. I have not a farthing to bless myself with, and, having a wife and four children to support, I thought that if I had a horse I might be able to earn something by its work. I only bought it six weeks ago, gave £7 for it, and it seemed so sound and well that I think it must have trodden upon one foot with the other. Mr. Hammill—You knew it was in this shocking state, and yet, so long as you could contrive to get any labour out of the poor brute, you kept on work ing it, wholly regardless at what sacrifice of pain, and whether diseased or not. Cases of this kind are too frequently before me. Such gross inhumanity is deserving severe punishment, and, as I am deter mined to put a stop tg it, if possible, I shall send you to the House of Correction for a fortnight without a penalty and with hard labour, and the horse must be at once destroyed. CLERKENIVELL.--Jane Cosser, aged 21, a respectably-attired woman, residing at 31, Rheidol terrace Islington, was placed here on remand, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with intermarrying with Maurice Lewis Gerrard, her first husband, James Cosser, being then and still alive. Mr. Parker attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis for the defence. The prisoner was married to her first husband at Corfe-Mullen, Dorsetshire, on the 3d Sept., 1856, when she described herself as a widow, and gave the name of Jane. Arding Page. She did not appear to have lived long with her husband—she stated only three days—for on the 3d Oct. in the follow ing year she was married to the prosecutor, Mau rice Lewis Gerrard, a clerk in -one of the city firms, and whose friends are very respectably connected, at Teddington church, in the name of Rose Eliza beth Jane Arding, when she described herself as a spinster. After spending some time with the prose cutor in Paris it was ascertained that the prisoner was guilty of bigamy, and the case being placed in the hands of Packman, one of the city detectives, he succeeded in apprehending her at the above ad dress, and when he told her the nature of the charge she told him it was all correct, and that if he had waited a few weeks longer she would have saved him the trouble, as she would have been on the con tinent with her second husband. Mr. Lewis said the first husband was in court, but did not complain. These proceedings were in stituted by the parents of the second husband, and he therefore hoped his worship would take bail. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the !prisoner to New gate for trial. SOUTHWARK.—David Jones, a rough-looking fellow, was brought up in custody charged with intermarrying with Christiana Hart, his former wife being then and now living. Police-constable 293 M said that he was on duty on the previous night when the prisoner was pointed out to him as having committed bigamy. He went up to him and took him into custody, when he admitted having been married previous to Dec., 1856, and that he knew at the time his first wife was then living. The Magistrate asked if the second wife was in the court. The officer replied that she was. Christiana Hart, a buxom-looking woman, here stood forward, and on being sworn said that she was married to the prisoner at Trinity Church, in the parish of St. Mary, Newington. Surrey, on Dec. 8, 1856. She then believed him to be a single man, but she had since ascertained that he had a wife living. The magistrate asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything in answer to the charge. He replied that he had nothing to say. The magistrate then told him he should remand him till Saturday next, to enable tit:: officers to examine the parish register and obtain copies of the certificates. The prisoner was then removed. ASSAULT BY A SCHOOLMASTER. The following' story will be found to-day in our Shoreham Bench report :—A little boy, named Henry Jones, -wha is the son of a poor widow, seems to have found employment at the early age of twelve'. Possibly his mother cannot afford to lose the profits of his labour, and he is sent to work for six days, and at the expiration of that time he brings to his widowed mother the small produce of that labour. Anxious that her son should learn as much as possible, the widow sends him to school at Southwick on the seventh day, there to be taught by a schoolmaster named George Wright. The lad was at schOol on the 10th ultimo, and went to church. He sat in his usual seat ; but shortly afterwards the schoolmaster removed him. For what purpose he was removed is not quite clear ; but the lad disliked to be moved from his old posi tion, and walked out of church. On the Monday he went to his .usual labour ; and this six days passed over as other six days had done. On the Sunday he again went to school ; and after prayers had been offered to teach the little children for giveness, love, and charity, poor little Henry Jones was called up to' hold out his hand. The lad, seeing a stick in the grasp of the schoolmaster, instinc tively recoiled, and said he would go home to his mother. Whereupon the schoolmaster caught the child by the arm, swung him round several times, and commenced striking him. The poor little fellow was at length hurled on the floor,-andr" about forty blows " were adniinistered ON the body of this 'help less child by the " man." The boy screamed very much and the schoolmaster then " asked him if he had had enough, .and if he wanted any more." This operation being'concluded, the uehoolboys went to God's house to hear the solemn service performed, led by their ferocious master, and this lad was made to sit upon a hard' seat during the service, suffering great, pain. The fatherless. boy - retired to his home in the evening to tell his mother the-tale of his sufferings ; and it would seem that Mr. Fuller, the surgeon, examined him ; and, says that gentleman, 1 41 have seen a great deal of hospital practice, but never saw: so severe a case of this kind. I could trace about thirty weals on his back." Turn from this sickening story and learn the sequel. The man, George - Wright, was summoned before the magistrates at Shoreham, and after the above facts were given the magistrates, ; retired, when Hugh Ingram, Esq., the chairman, " thought the ends of justice. would be obtained by inflicting a fine of ten shillings and costs," which was immediately paid. Truly - George Wright' is a lucky man. Had he inflicted such punishment on a donkey, the Society , for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals would have seen that he did not escape with can such a penalty ; or had he taken a hare out o f a wire, he would have been imprisoned. Fort poor, d it is for George Wright that the boy is po has no father,; or: the outraged feelings of a parent would scarcely resist the temptation of inflicting a similar punishment on him.— West Sussex Gazette.

The neighbourhood of the Hallgat e, Wigan, was thrown into a state of great excitemi ent on Satur day night, in consequence of a report. that a violent assault had been committed by John O'Halloran, an Irish labourer, residing in the Top Croft, Hallgate, upon John Droney, another Irisbn3 lan, who lived next door to him. The report pt.( wed to be too true, the assault being one of the woi •st description. Droney, after lingering in great pai n, expired on the following Tuesday. On Wednesday O'Halloran was 'brought before the magistrates at the police-court ,'when the chief constable informed the bench th Ot on Saturday night the deceased and the pris oner quarrelled about a pipe of tobacco whilst their were enjoying themselves somewhere (we have be e n told it was at a wedding) ; that they both went to their homes, and soon afterwards, whilst Drone y was comfort ably smoking his pipe by his own B reside, O'Hla loran came to the door and asked hilmi to come out, as he wished to speak to him. D roney, being an exceedingly quiet man, and few ing O'Halloran, at first hesitated ; but at lent gth, after the prisoner had again requested to come and speak to him, he just stepped out ,ide the door when O'Halloran, who had a large brink-bat in his hand, struck him violently with it upon the temples. The blow was given with such Farce that Droney fell instantly, and was carried 'bleeding to lied. The brick must have dropped from the hand of the prisoner when the blow had bee,a delivered, as it was picked up shortly after the ass ttult, and placed upon Droney's pillow, where it remained until Tuesday night, when death ended tl le sufferings of the unfortunate man. Mr. Simni, the chief con stable, also stated that as soon as h e heard of the occurrence, he sent an officer to Bury on Tuesday, and in the evening he succeeded int capturing the offender, and immediately brought, him to Wigan. As the jury were summoned to m at the Town Hall, and as there was no dcrubt that the coroner would adjourn the inquos t until a post mortem examination had been madu, the prisoner was remanded to Friday. The Jury having assembled andvit 'wed the body, the Coroner adjourned the inquest. From inquiries we have made, there does not appear to have been any particular eg.use of quarrel between the two, as the prisoner said when taken back to the lock-up, "We had a sup (meaning a little drink), and I do not know what we quarrelled about ; but I was in a passion, and s truck him, and I'm sorry for it." Droney was a very young man, and the affair has caused a profound sensation amongst the working classes of the neighbourhood, who consider it a deliberate murder.—Manchester Guardian.
