NOVEL POINT AND IMPORTANT DECISION.-WHITE V. GOFF. Plaintiff is an hotel-keeper at Wexford, in Ireland, and defendant a merchant in the city of London, who had acted in 1852 as agent to the Hon. Mr. Nunn in the election for the county of Wexford in that year. Mr. Millett, for the plaintiff, produced an official docu ment, signed by the clerk of the peace, and emanating as a decree from the Sessions Court holden before the assistant barrister in the county of Wexford, before which tribunal the case had been tried, and defendant found to be indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of £5 lls. Bd. for meat, drink, &c. Upon reading the document his Honour remarked that when judgment was obtained in Ireland the bailiffs might at once take the goods of the debtor. That was a much more summary process than that of England. Mr. Moss objected to the document, and contended that it could not be used as evidence here. He, on the part of Mr. Goff, was willing to go into the case. Mr. Millett urged that the judgment had been recovered in 1857, and that defendant had had plenty of opportu nities to set it aside, which he must do at Wexford. Mr. Moss observed that the bill dated from 1852, and that defendant was not liable. The amount was for re• freshments supplied during an election. His Honour, upon referring to the 14 and 15 Vic., cap. 99, held that this was an action upon the judgment of a competent court, and that the document put in was evidence against defendant, who must pay in ten days with costs. THE RELIGIO US DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE' This afternoon, very unfortunately for the somewhat no torious parish of St. George's-in-the-East, the riots which for a year or more have been prevalent there were again brought under the consideration of the magistrate, Mr. Selfe, at the Thames Police -court. Last August the Rev. Bryan King left his parish, in the hope that the very serious differences between himself and his parishioners might be forgotten. It happens, unfortu nately, that the curate in sole charge has been unable to conciliate the rival claims of the parishioners, and that dur ing the last few weeks the rioting which has hitherto dis graced the parish have been revived. In consequence of this rioting, which obtained its climax on last Sunday, a meeting of the inhabitants has taken place, the result of which is contained in the following cor- respondence : Sir,—l beg to hand you a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting last evening, and which by a second resolu tion was ordered to be forwarded to you. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. B. DAY, Chairman of the said Meeting. Sept. 26, 1860, Mr. Thompson. (Copy of Resolution.) This meeting regret that Mr. Churchwarden Thompson should in the discharge of his duties insult several pa rishioners in their parish church, and that he should refuse to call a public parish meeting, when solicited to do so, by a requisition signed by a number of rate payers; and this meeting are of opinion that such conduct is an arbitrary stretch of power. In pass ing this resolution in reference to Mr. Thompson, this meeting feel fully aware of the difficult duties he has to contend with; nevertheless, they think faithful decision ought to characterise all honourable conduct, and it must have been long evident that it is impossible for Mr. Thomp son to serve the rector and to do justice to the insulted parishioners ; and this meeting considers closing the church-gates, and placing the entrance to the church under surveillance, is an insult to the liberty of the subject. Joseph Rowe appeared in answer to a summons charging him with creating a disturbance in the Church on Sunday last. The Churchwarden, Mr. Thompson, said on Sunday the defendant came to the church, and, from certain cir cumstances, a seat had been previously set aside for him. On entering the church he at once proceeded to the seat of the verger, Cook. lie was told he could not sit there, but he insisted that he had a right to the seat. An altercation arose between him and the ♦erger, and a disturbance ensued, which was very much increased by the noise made by Rowe, who wore wooden shoes. The services of the day had to be suspended for a time. Other witnesses having been examined, Rowe denied that he had caused the disturbance. He had a perfect right to a seat in the church, and the disturb ance arose because he was obstructed in taking it. He said there was a conspiracy against him, as he had heard it said that "he (Rowe) was to be had at any price." He also wished to have the assistance of a solicitor and time to ob tain witnesses to meet the complaint. Mr. Selfe said he would adjourn the case if it was wished, but on the attendance of a solicitor he could not allow the witnesses to be re 'examined, and he must take the evidence as it stood. The case was adjourned until Thursday next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS D 411.) BOW STREET. , ROBBERY AT DEBENIIAM'S AUCTION Rooms.—Wm. Anderson, a very respectably dressed man, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a gold watch, chain, and diamond ring from the auction rooms of Messrs. Deben ham, King-street, Covent-garden. James Becker said—l reside at Hall-place, Paddington, and am an engine driver. Yesterday I was sitting in the auction room of Debenham and Storr, in King-street, Covent-garden, when I saw the prisoner unhook a gold watch and guard that was hanging up on view and draw it along the counter towards him, and put it into his left hand coat pocket. In a minute or two he got up and went out. I then looked to See if the watch had been replaced, and seeing it was still missing I followed the prisoner, up Rose , street, into Long acre. He crossed over and went into a public-house at the corner of St. Martin's-lane, and then I stood waiting for a policeman. Before one arrived he came out again, and went up Long-acre, through some low courts, and passed Debenham and Storr's Rooms again. I followed the pri soner into an oil shop in New-street, and then one of Debenham's assistants came, and I charged the prisoner with taking the watch from their auction-rooms. He denied it, and said ho would not have done such a thing. When he was taken back to the auction-rooms, Isaw the gold watch, chain, and diamond ring (produced) taken from his pocket. The prisoner said some one must have put it in there, and upon my saying I had seen him take it from the rack, he said that he must'have taken it by mistake. The prisoner did not appear to be worse for liquor. John Wicks—l am a porter in the service of Messrs. Storr. About half-past 12 the prisoner was brought into the rooms by the last witness and one of our assistants. I had not seen him before ; but prior to that I had missed lot 207—a gold watch, chain, and ring. When I went down and found the prisoner the porter had the watch and ap pendages in his hand. The property now before me is that which I had previously missed. It is valued at D. The prisoner first said he had come back to pay for them, but he afterwards said that a young man had given them to him, and after that he said thatoome one must have put them in his pooket. Police-constable F 74 said—.At half• past 12 yesterday I was called to the prosecutor's premises, when the prisoner was given into my custody for stealing a watch and chain. He said he had no intention of stealing the property, but that he took it down to look at it. He refused to give any address. On being searched £6 Ils. Bd. and some dice were found in his pockets. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, The prisoner said he wished the magistrate would deal summarily with the case. He would not plead guilty to stealing the watch, but he would admit having it unlaw fully in his possession. The magistrate said it was too serious a case to deal with summarily. He should commit him for trial on the charge, but previous to doing so he would remand him for a week, to give time to the police to make some inquiries about him.

JUVENILE BECiGARS.—A GREAT WANT.—Ann Mullins, Mary Mullins, and Bridget Moran, three little girls, whose heads only just peered above the dock, were charged with begging and annoying persons in the street. The children and other members of their families have been brought to this court times out of number. The father of the girl Moran is now undergoing three months for pot stealing, and the mother is also in prison for begging. The whole of them have been for a long time past a perfect pest in the neighbourhood of Leicester-square and the club houses. Jarvis, a constable of the C division, having proved see ing the girls begging in Leicester-square, and having had his attention called to them by some ladies who were an noyed by them, watched them, and seeing them step up to a young female, and because she refused to relieve them, nearly pull off her cloak, he took them into custody. lie believed two of the girls had been at the court several times. Mr. Beadon said the whole of them had, and it was pas endurance. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said the mother of Moran was coming out of prison that day. Mr. Beadon said it was no use leaving children, like thosa at the bar, about the streets. He wished there was an asylum where he could send them for three years; but at present there was none for girls, though thero was for boys. At present he should send them for a month's imprisonment each. James Small, merchant, 11, Vincent-terrace, Isling ton, was fined £3 for an assault on a constable named Portch, 317 A, in the Haymarket. SAVED BY A DRIIIII.—The drummer boy of the Milwaukee Light Guard in the Lady Elgin was saved by means of his drum. Ho had presence of mind sufficient to whittle a plug and close the air vent; then, lashing the drum to his shoulders, he trusted himself to the waves. The drum supported him, and also four others, who seized hold of it; but these, one after the other, dropped off. The drum carried the boy nearly ashore, when by some means one head was burst in, and it filled with water. The boy aban doned it, and seizing a fragment of the wreck succeeded in reaching 'the shore. The drum afterwards came ashore, and was returned to the boy Whose HA, it had saved. 2.11.10 16 TILE 114. R VESTING OF CORN IN FrETI 11-lIRD EDITION. WEATHER. • A correspondent, in a letter to a contemporary, says : _ _ Since I last wrote on the subject of reaping machines, constructed on the principle of cutting off the ears as well as cutting down the straw of standing corn, I have, through the courtesy of a gentleman some time resident in South Australia, been made acquainted with the fact that an imple ment has, for some years past, been in general use in that part of the Australian colony, capable of cutting off the ears of corn and of thrashing them by one and the same operation. Previous to the receipt of this communication, I had been under the impression that I was the first to think of and de vise a plan for the construction of an ear-reaping machine, but it is now very evident that in this I have been anticipated, for although the primary object of the Australian implement is the thrashing of corn, the ears are cut off by the same imple ment before being thrashed, and the cutting off is well and readily done. The question as to the possibility of constructing an efficient implement upon the plan I advocated is thus, I think, now en tirely set at rest. My informant tells me that the machine was in vented by a gentleman named Ridley, and has been of the utmost service to the colonists of Southern Australia ; moreover, he says th a t every f armer there considers it as indispensable to his farm operations as the plough itself, and that as a rule, with this machine, a single farm labourer can har vest all the grain grown upon the land he can cul tivate with a well-appointed team. The implement is, as I have before remarked, in fact a thrashing machine, and of simple construc tion ;it is mounted on a pair of ordinary-sized cart wheels, having attached to the side of one of them a cog wheel by which motion is given (as the ma chine is drawn over the corn to be harvested) by the aid of multiplying wheels to the ordinary drum of a thrashing mill placed across the front of the carriage, which is mounted upon wheels; this carriage being, in fact, a large box calculated to re ceive the grain, chaff, and heads as they are struck off by the rapidly-revolving beaters of the drum. In order to bring the heads of the standing corn under the influence of the beaters a comb is placed immediately under the drum; this comb is com posed of bayonet -shaped iron teeth, so formed and placed that as the machine is drawn over the stand ing cor n the head s p ass b etween the teeth, and as they—i.e. the teeth—from their form, nearly touch each other where the drum revolves over them, the head of grain is held in a favourable position for being struck by the beaters. The carriage is preserved in equilibrium by a strong pole or beam that projects diagonally from its side near the front part of it, and rests upon a small wheel ; upon this beam machinery is placed for lowering or raising the front of the carriage so as to suit the position of the comb to the height of the corn ; there is also placed upon it a seat for the conductor, who, by means of the aforesaid implement with can direct the course of the with the greatest exactitude. The draught is also attached to the end of this beam, so that the horses travel upon ground that has been already operated upon by the implement. The current of air caused by the velocity w ith w hi c h th e d rum revo l ves is found to be quite sufficiently powerful to project all that is severed into the body of the machine. I have described the construction of the machine almost in my informant's own words. My informant rightly remarks that, although the machine is perfect in its performance in the dry climate of South Aus tralia, where with it six or seven acres of wheat are constantly thrashed and got together during the day, it would not be found to answer in a moist climate like our own, so far as the thrashing is concerned; in England wheat must, we are all aware, be much drier than it is when first cut, be fore it can be thrashed ; still the machine might, with some slight modification, be rendered capable of performing the work of severing the heads from the straw and collecting them. In respect of the comb the Australian implement resembles in con struction the one I had proposed to myself ; it was by such a contrivance that I had hoped to meet the difficulty of corn varying in it s i nc li na ti on i n diffe rent parts of the same field, and I feel persuaded that this difficulty may be met. T hope before long to be in possesion of a plan of the Australian ma chine, and trust that before the harvest of nest year arrives a serviceable ear-collecting reaping machine will be in existence.

ARRIVAL OF PRINCE NAPOLEON. The Jerome Napoleon yacht, with Prince Napo leon on board, arrived i n Kingstown-harbour yes terday a little before noon, but his Highness Will not disembark till this morning, when his ~ i ll pro ceed to town by rail. The visit of is Imperial Highness is said to be purely one of recreation,o possible. The he travels as unostentatiously and approach of the yacht was announced o'clock yyesterday,iiacedPon herheaving in sight at about a quarterto the harbour, bear and at half-past 12 she enter ed ing the French tricolour on on the flag-staff at h er taffrail. Her Niajesty Ajax lowered her fla g in salute, which was re turned by the yacht as s h e steamed up to her moorin gs o rin gs at the jetty. Salmdera of this morning gives the following acco un t o f the Prince's arrival : 7 considerable excitement pervaded the yesterday the performance of the baud, in con jetty during the presence of the French steamer sequence. o . hip, having Prince Napoleon onboard. The screw s vessel i e l arrived at the harbour' s mout h at a quarter c l oc k, h av i ng passed Bray -head half an past 1 2 o hour before, under canvas and steam, going at a good speed before a fresh breeze from the south east. At one o'clock the Prince entered a six-oared g i g , which pulled across the harbour, the club houses and yachts firing a salute, and the splendid band of the 2d Dragooms striking up the favourite national air, " Partant pour la Syrie," the crowd promenading the jetty lining the edge to catch a glimpse of the Prince. An enthusiastic gentleman stood up on one of the pillars of the jetty and announced three cheers for " Ireland's friend," and also " Louis Napoleon." A small steam screw boat, about the size of an ordinary ship's cutter, put off from the French ship, and steamed about the har bour, to the great delight of the beholders, espe cially to the juvenile portion. THE AFFRAY AT DERRYMACASH. The proceedings connected with the inquest on the body of Thomas Murphy commenced at Lurgan yesterday, and had not concluded up to post hour. It appears that the report of M'Cann's death was premature, but the unfortunate man is not expected to survive many hours. The excitement in the neighbourhood is intense, and party feeling runs extremely high - . The reporter of the Freeman's Journal writes : o " There were 44 jurors summoned to atte nd th ef inquest, 28 of whom were Protestants them Orangemen), and 16 Roman Catholics. There seemed to be an antipathy on all h ands to serve on the jury, and it was not until fines of £2 each had been struck by the coroner against a number o_____ f th e absentees that a jury could be formed. The jury, as sworn, consisted of 13 Protestants and 10 Catho lics and after some observations from Mr. R ea as to the legality of the jury being sworn, they pro ceeded to the country to view the body. Cars were provided to take the jurors out to the house where the deceased lay, and about 4 o'clock they returned. The body presented a horrible spectacle, the head swelled enormously, and face quite black ; and such was the offensive odour that lime had to be used to keep it down in the house. After returning to Lurgan, an application was made by Mr. Rea for an adjournment, which was agreed to by the coroner. The excitement in the neighbourhood is immense, and M'Cann, another of the victims, is expected to die within less than 48 hours." THE WEATHER AT PORTMADOC.

RIFLED CANNos.--7Mr. Lywall Thomas's rifled cannon—the largest rifled weapon ever made—has been tried with complete success this week at Shoeburyne ss . This cannon weighs upwards of six tons, and fires a shot of 1741 b. weight, with a charge of powder of no less than a quarter of a hundred -weight 1 We are unable to say what range was attained, but, judging from the initial vel m oc u i d t e y of a the shot and its time of fli g ht, it must have be en enormously great, and altogethe r un p recedented. The gun is the Mersey pudclled steel by Mr. Clay, and stood the im mense strain brought upon it with perfect success, show ing no sign of wea kness an y where . The heaviest rifled can non ever made prior to this of Mr. Thomas's is th e Whit- worth SO-pounder; but the weight of this is but 41 tons— rfedtilferomnewa n7ll e e a d p c o a n nn . o T n h i e s heaviest ne a r tons— nearly a projectilethird s ever before e t f h o a r et fired Sir W. Armstron's 100 lb. shot from a cannon of consider ably less than four tons. It wiil be seen, therefore, that another great advance has been made in the art of gun con struction, ann one which will bear seriously upoq the ,much -agitated question of iron-cased ships.--Hechanks' Magazine. THE HARVEST. Another brief run of fine weather has tended to ease the agricultural mind, and according to the tone of the majority of the latest reports there is now a reasonable prospect of an average though extrergely late harvest. A Wexford paper contains a long review, founded on personal examination of the state of the crops in that county, in the course of which the writer say s : We have seen the country for several miles and I been among some of its richest fields and most active agriculturists about the centre of the county, and rejoice to find that, late as the season is, there is no despondency, and that the damage done has not been so great as apprehended. In the fine line of country► from Enniscorthy to Ferns, and over the extensive scope which the eye can take in, the crops are still in general in the fields in stacks or wejl made stooks, but little cut and on the ledge, and still less on foot. Dry, bracing weather for a few days will make all fit for the haggard, and the mar ket which is opening with a smart demand and good prices compensate the farmer for his toils and anxieties. We observed two or three wheat fields, which in July last would have been pronounced excellent, but now so green as to give little hope of ever arriving at maturity. Beans, which are back ward everywhere, are little cultivated in the inte rior, where the hardy early tawny oats occupy a large space and prove a good crop generally. The potato blight is everywhere—but we presume less severe in the upper part of the county than in Forth and Bargy, where a more tender kind, the primrose, had been more extensively planted then the Scotch Downs and other sorts. In general, however, the potato fields present a grass and weed covered aspect, a sure indication of the presence and ravages of the blight. TEMPERANCE IN _RUSSIA. The Polish journal Wiadomosci Polski publishes the following Russian order to the Bishop of Samogitia, to restrain the efforts of the Polish clergy:from spreading temperance among the pea santry : Wilno, June 2, 1860 (No. 3,671.) The Minister of the Treasury has informed me, in his despatch of the 16th ult., that news had reached him that your excellency bad taken most severe measures to compel the people to pledge themselves by oath to abstain from strong drinks. On the 19th March last You :.ent a circular to all the clergy in your district, directing thein to re quire their parishioners to write their names in a list of those who pledged themselves to abstain from drunkenness, in a book which they were to prepare for that purpose, and such as were parents or guardians to add to their own names those of their children or wards ; and to see that all those whose names were included in such list renewed their promise of temperance till death before the image of the virgin. Observing that the reason of the diminution of the sum raised by taxes on spirits in the Govern ment of Kowno was the great spread of abstinence, and desiring to convince myself that such was the fact, I had requested your excellency, in my des patch of the 6th March, No. 1,528, to furnish me with a list of the persons who had abstained from drunkenness in the Government of Kowno, accord ing to the annexed form. That form show that the numbers only of those parishes about which information had already been obtained were re quired ; but I by no means gave my sanction to the collection of more signatures, the introduction of books to receive them, and of societies whose establishment was not sanctioned by Government. In your answer, dated 12th March, No. 575, your excellency informed me that you had made application for the details required, not mentioning the new arrangements which were afterwards pro mulgated in the circular of the 19th March above alluded to. To enlarge upon the benefits of temperance, and raise a warning voice against drunkenness, is use ful, and conducive to the morality of the nation ; but the recommending total abstinence from strong drink, and that by means so strongly calculated to impress the minds of the lower class, such as oaths, promises of absolution of sins, &c., cannot be en dured, as being opposed to the general conviction of the benefits arising from the moderate use of strong liquors, to the system of the Roman Catho lic ecclesiastical establishment in Russia, and my receipts of 1858 and 1859, and to the views of the Government, who have carried out the taxes on spirits. It will be sufficient if the clergy, without forbid ding the peasants to , use spirits in moderation, would dissuade them from drunkenness, or the ex cessive use of strong liquors. In this way alone is it possible to conciliate the views of the Govern ment, having for their object the recovery of the sums raised by the taxes on spirits, with the idea of restraining the people from indulging in the sin ful passion of drunkenness. I have, therefore, agreeably to the request of the minister of the Treasury, the honour to beg your Excellency to recall the orders contained in the Circular of the 19th March, and put a stop to any improper ac.t.s on the part of the clergy ; also, that you will direct them not to make use of any threats, in other means, not sanctioned by Government, dissuading their parishioners from dnketnon ess and other sins ; and, confining themselveserate use of in struction, not to forbid the al in changing the water into t vri f n a o il drinks, which our Saviour himplfoahtascapnear.mitted, also to direct Your Excellency will no the books sent them, your parishioners to returnbo destroyed ; and in in order that such may t their Civilyour Gcloeyregrynocon.. the duties of general to make__::: :ezr a Z ncf : formable to lawful o h r are, sze., religious calling.
