Business in the manufacturing districts during the past week has been active, more particularly in all descriptions of textile fabrics.``Large sales of woollen cloth have taken place at Leeds, and both in the cloth halls and warehouses considerable ac tivity has prevailed. The demand for home use and for export has exhibited considerable im provement. The worsted trade at Bradford has been extremely buoyant, and for piece goods numerous orders have been given out for the Russian and German markets ; the manufacturers are, therefore, fully employed. At Manchester the demand for goods suitable for the China markets had also been active, and stocks generally very low ; prices have improved. Spinners and manufacturers are well e mployed, and the market has a healthy appearance. At Leicester the hosiery trade has shown a steady improvement; stocks are low, and manufacturers are asking higher rates. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has been quiet ; a few orders have been received on American account, and the prospects of trade are generally regarded as pro mising. The various fancy departments at Birming nam have been moderately active. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton the various hardware trades of the district have been quiet. Prices, however, are firm, and a few orders for the better class of goods have b een given out for the German and American mar kets. The settlement of the Chinese question is ex pected to exert a favourable influence upon the trade of this district. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday mani fested a very firm appearance, and prices of all de scriptions were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. In Railway Shares only a moderate business was transacted, and quotations tended downwards. The Supply of commercial bill s i s s t a t e d to b e Steadily increasing, the demand for accommodation in Lombard -street and at the Bank being promoted by the extension of business throughout the country. Although the Board of Trade returns still exhibit a most unfavourable contrast, there can be no doubt W hatever, that operations are being pushed as much 4e possible, and the improved advices from distant Markets justify the movement on the part of manu facturers, merchants, &c. The consequence is a larger employment for money in mercantile enter- Prise, but a considerable absorption is alsogoing on for joint stockprojects, Government loans,&c. The; Indian, I3razilian, and New Zealand loans, alone have diverted a large amount, and the remaining portion of the Indian Loan, the Turkish Loan just announced, and numerous other payments connected with tele graphs and railways, must tend very sensibly to in fluence the money mar k et dur i ng the next few 311 jaths• Preparations are now in progress for the 2 4 Of the month, and the settlement in foreign stock s an d railway shares. These engagements have creas ed the d eman d , an d strengthened the rates., Wh e th er a permanent change is about 'e be experienced, gives rise, nevertheless, to the expressi on o f opposite opinions. While some telatend that th e recovery in trade is too slow el cr eate any imm e di a t e return of stringency, e s Peeially when th ere i s so much abundance, and lar ge supplies of gold are coming; forward ; others Justly allege that th e encouragement given to new enter prise, together with th e renewal of activity in comm ercial channels, mu s t spee dil y f orce t h e rates o f discount to wh a t may b e regarded as an average point. frn_e p r esent terms are quite exceptio na l, resu l t i ng tontn mercantile depression, and a disinclination e l se ernbark i n any description of enterprise. tint c auses being parti a lly remove d , a reac evr In financial affairs may now ensue.

The annual interest of the re ‘,..vMption of principal, at the rate of 1 cent., will form a charge upon the gener a l , resenues of Turkey, including the octroi l ed at C onstantinople. A reference to the pro up k n eet us will s h ow th at t h e d eta il s of the plan are, in atil st resPects, satisfactory.

THE NORTH ERN COAL FIELDS.—At a meeting of the institution of mechanical engineers at Newcastle a few days since, during a discussion on a paper read by Mr. N. Wood, on " The improvements effected in the working of coal mines during the past fifty years," Mr. Wood said, the question as to the time when the coal would be worked out was a very difficult one. Cal culations had been made, and three thous an d years had been stated. (Laughter.) Some made out that the coal would be exhausted in 1,700 years. He could only say he had seen a great hole made in it during the last 50 years. (Hear, hear.) When he first came into the trade, there was not a colliery south of the road from Sunderland to Durham. The whole of the coal field to the south of that road was dormant ; there were no Hartle pools, Seahams, or Tees at all. lie bad bad an oppor tunity of seeing a very large number of plans of this dis trict, and they were beginning to be very black. How ever, as they worked out one seam another would come into operation ; and they had not yet, he thought, ascer tained the whole number of beds of coal in the coal-field. He thought Mr. Fairbairn might rest satisfied that there were at least one thousand five hundred or one thousand seven hundred years' supply of coal; and probably in that time, gentlemen being very ingenious, they would find some means of raising steam without coal. However, the lower coal would certainly come into operettas when the of Pe r was worked out; but no doubt the beet coa l was 1140adY 13111112 g A great hole made In It. ft, 1 190 Stook xa I !il _ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1858.

A special general Court of the Company was held this day, for the purpose of laying before the proprietors the opininn cf counsel upon certain legal points submitted for consideration by the last meeting, and for the confirmatio❑ of a resolution granting an annuity of ,E 2,000 per annum to Sir J. M. Lawrance, Bart., K.C.B. Sir F. CURRIE took the chair at 12 o'clock. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN submitted the resolution, granting the annuity to Sir J. Lawrance, for confirmation. Mr. ARBUTIINOTT expressed his approval of the vote, and said he thought the directors were entitled to an ac knowledgment from the proprietors, for the manner in which the business of the Company had been conducted. The constitution of the new Council for the Government of India, augured well for its future prosperity. It was a source of pleasure to recognise the names of seven of the gentlemen of the directory in that body, but it was to be regretted that a gentleman, possessed of such great know ledge as Colonel Sykes, was not to take his seeat in the Council. Mr. JONES said he disapproved of the policy pursued by Sir J. Lowrance, and he should move a resolution to that effect. The hon. proprietor then, at some length, entered into the subject of the annexation of Oude, and concluded with a motion to the effect that the words " long and distin guished services," which expressed an approval of the an nexation of the Punjaub, be omitted. The CHAIRMAN said such a resolution could not be put at that stage of the proceedings. The meeting had been called for the confirmation or rejection of the resolution, and the hon. proprietor was therefore precluded from moving any modification. Mr. LEWIN much regretted the absence of Col. Sykes from the ❑ew Council for the government of India. He should very much like to know what more the members of that body would do for their salary of £1,200 a-year, and a pension of £BOO, than they did at present for their £5OO. Col. Sykes, it was well known, held strong opinions with respect to Indian subjects, and always expressed his views boldly, and to this circumstance he attributed the gallant gentleman's non-election. Col. SYKES much regretted that the deeds of Frere and Chamberlayne had been passed over in silence. The CHAIRMAN said no slight was intended to any, but it was impossible to acknowledge the services of all. The motion of Mr. Jones fell to the ground, and the reso lution confirming the granting a pension to Sir H. Lowrance was agreed to. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. The Court was then made special for the consideration of he opinion of council upon certain points in the Bill for he Government of India. The CHAIRMAN said the opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General, Sir R. Bethell, and Mr. Wigram, Q.C., had been received that morning. They were as follows : Question I.—Supposing that the company, under the 13th section of the Act of the 3d and 4th Wm. IV, cap. 85, should give notice for the redemption of its dividend, is Parliament bound to redeem the dividend at the rate there in mentioned out of the Imperial revenues without any re ference to the sufficiency of the Indian revenues? Answer I.—We are of opinion that the 13th sec. of the 3d and 4th Wm. IV., cap. 85, constitutes a Parliamentary con tract with the East India Company, and that should the East India Company demand the redemption of its dividend under that section, Parliament would be bound to make provision for its redemption without reference to the sufficiency of the Indian revenues. Q. 2.—Assuming that the company does not give the notice provided for in sec. 13 within one year from its being deprived of the possession and government of the British territories in India, does the company lose all such claim to compel redemption of its dividend by Parliament out of the Imperial revenues without any reference to the sufficiency of the Indian revenues? Q. 3.—Assuming further, that the company does not give the required notice within the year, will the company en tirely forfeit its right to demand redemption, whether out of the Imperial revenues or out of the revenues of India alone? A. 2 and 3.—We are of opinion that if the company does not under sec. 13 of the 3d and 4th Wm. IV., cap. 85, demand redemption of its dividend within one year from its being deprived of the possession and government of the territories of India, it will forfeit its right to demand redemption of the dividend; and the dividend willibecome irredeemable until 1874, and then will be redeemable only at the option of Parliament. Q. 4.—Can the security fund be applied to the payment of dividend or to any other purpose, without the requisition of the Court of Directors of the company,according to 3d and 4th Wm. I V., cap 85, sect. 15? A. 4.—We are of opinion that under the conjoint effect of the 3d and 4th Wm. IV. cap. 85, sec. 15, and the 21st and 22d Vic., cap. 106, sec. 73, " the "security fund" can, upon requisition by the Court of Directors, be applied to make good any deficiency in remittances for the payment of divi dendebut that it cannot be applied to thepaymeut of dividend without such requisition. We also think that upon "redemp tion" of tho dividend, the "security fund" will be available, and may be applied to the purposes of such redemption. But while the " security fund" is under twelve millions, there is nit, in our opinion, any purpose other than the foregoing to which any part of the fund can be applied. Q. 5. Does the section 42 of 21 and 22 Vic. cap. 106, which enacts that all payments under that Act shall be made out of the revenue) of India (alone) affect in any manner the question of redemption? A. s.—The 42d section of the 21st and 22d Vic., cap. 106, which enacts that all payments under that Act shall be made out of the revenues of India alone, does not, in our opinion, affect in any manner the question of redemption. Q. 6.—ln case of defalcation or loss of any description arising from the misconduct or mismanagement of the company's agents in the payment of dividend or otherwise, out of what funds must such defalcaton or loss be made good ; and in case of lawsuits or other pro ceedings against the company arising out of such occur rences, or from any other cause relating to the payment of the dividend on, or transfer of, the capital stock, would the expenses thereby incurred fall within the meaning of the words contained in the 72d section of the Act of the 21st and 22d Vic., cap. 106, viz., " expenses of and incident to the payment to the proprietors of the capital stock of the said company of their respective shares of the dividend on such stock, and of keeping the books of the said company for transfers and otherwise in relation to such stock ?" A. 6.—lf the defalcation or loss referred to in this ques tion be a defalcation or loss as to the monies provided out of the revenues of the Indian territories for the payment of the dividend mentioned in sec. 11 of 3d and 4th Wm. IV.,cap. 85, and handed over to the company for that purpeee, we are of opinion that such loss must fall upon, and bo borne by the company. The sum which, by that section, is charged upon the Indian revenues, is discharged by payment to the com pany or its authorised agent. If, on the other hand the quo - - tion supposes a loss to arise by a servant of the company per mitting or making an irregular or unauthorised transfer of stock, we thiak that a lossof this kind also must fall upon the company. The company are charged with the duty of keeping books and of permitting no tran•fer except in the manner required by the charter of William 111. In the event of liability attaching itself to the company for the improper act of its servant, as for example, for a transfer of stock under a forged power of attorney, a further question would arise, how is such liability to be made good? The At torney-General and Sir Richard Bethel are of opinion that the dividend and redemption money being appropriated by statute there would be no general property of the company to answer any such liability, which would therefore be only nominal. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Wigram consider that the £lO 10s. per ceet. on six millions, and also the redemption money of twelve millions, would, when paid over to the company out of the revenues of India, and before division among the members of the company, be assets of the company, and be liable to sati-fy any demands to which the company may remain subject. With regard to costs of law proceedings in which the company may b e i nvo l ved, p.,3 men tioned in this sixth question, we are of opinion that if the proceedings arise out of acts of misfeazance or neglect on the part of servants of the company, the costs must be borne by the company. On t h e other hand, if pro ceedings are taken against the company as stakeholders merely, in order to determine the devolution of the title to suck, or questions of a similar nature, we think that costs of such proceedings, not otherwise made good to the com pany, would he " expenses in relati on to the stock " within the meanintr of sect. 72 of the new Act. Q. 7. With reference to the language of the 17th sect. of the Act 3d and 4th Wm. IV., cap. 85, will the East India C om pany be entitled to its dividend out of all remittances made by the Government of India to the Secretary of State in Council in preference to all other charges, including gua ranteed interest on railway shares, pensions, salaries, pur chase of stores, and the expenses of all establishments in this country maintained for the government of India ? A. 7. We are of opinion that the East India Company will, under the 17th sect. of 3d and 4th Win. IV., cap. 85, continue to be entitled to its dividend out of all revenues of the East Indian territories remitted to Great Britain, in preference to all other charges payable thereout in Great Britain, including the particular charges specified in ques tion 7, assuming that all of those charges arc charges pay able in Great Britain. Q. B.—Supposing the company to be repaid its capital stock, either on its own demand or by act of the Govern ment, such would it be competent to the company t o use capital for the purpose of establishing commercial enterprise of any sort ; and if so,would such enterprise be limited to trade within the limits of the company's charter, or might it include other undertakings ? share r such tt t o Q. 9. Assuming the capital to be repaid, could an indi vidual proprietor demand payment of his capital, without a resolution of the Company gatit r oft him? THIS DAYS MARKETS. A. 8 and 9. Looking to the provisions of the 3d and 4tb Wm. IV. cap. 8:5, taken in connection with th e f ormer acts on the same subject, and particularly the 33+1 Geo. 111., cap. 52, sec. 74, and the 53d Geo. 111., cap 155, sec. 4, we are of opiniou that the right of the East India Com pany to trade was suspended only while the territorial go vernment was confided to them, and that Upon the termi nation of their territorial government the right of the com pany to trade revives. This right to trade would, however, be confined to enterprises of the nature specified in the charters and statutes of the com pany; and, moreover, we are of opinion th a t, fl ow the lapse of time and the change of circumstances, it would not be found that practically trade could be carried on with advantage under the present constitution of the com pany. With regard to the application of the sum of 12 millions to be provided by Parliament for the redemp tion of the dividend, the Attorney-General and Si r R ichard Bethel are of opinion that this sum, when paid, c ou ld not be dealt with in any other manner by the company than by the payment to each proprietor of the amount of his share of the capital stock, and that the question— whether, under the circumstances supposed, the com pany should come to any formal resolution as to the appropriation of the money—is immaterial, inasmuch as no resolution of the company can affect the right of the pro prietors of stock to - their:respective shares of the 12 millions. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Wigrarn consider that this sum of 12 millions Is to be paid by Parliament to the company, and not to the Individual proprietors of the com pany, and that when so paid it would represent and would be the capital stock of the company, and accordingly be subject to all liabilities of the company. They also think that under these circumstances the utmost right of a pro ptieter would be to insist that if the trade of the company was not revived these liabilities (if any) should be ascer tained and discharged and the surplus capital divided among the proprietors according to their respective interests. With regard to the ototHe of the convoy we conceive nothiug more can be usefully said than that it continues to exist as a body corporate, governed by the charter of Wm. 111., and the statutes by which that charter has been modified. The most important alteration made in that charter is the re duction, by the recent statute, of the number of directors to six. August 24, 1858. The CHAIRMAN announced that although the docu ment had not formally received the assent of the counsel who were engaged, it had been s!gncd in its present form by the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-Gene ral, Sir Richard Bethell, and Mr. Wigram. The case and 01)111i011 were ordered to be printed. Mr. CRAWSIIAT moved the reappointment of the committee for the purpose of consulting with the directors with regard to the future management of the company. He thought that much useful advice might be given by the company in reference to the Government of India. (Cheers.) The motion was agreed to, and a conversation followed upon the question whether the directors who bad been elected members of the India Council should retain their seats in the direction. After a short discussion the meeting broke up. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). MARLBOROUGH -STREET.— Mary Jones, a prosti tute, was charged with stealing from the person of Baptiste Mortier, described as a cuisinier, of 24, Charles-street, Ber keley-square, a purse containing 783 francs and some Eng lish money. The prosecutor not understanding English, M. Alber acted as interpreter. Baptiste Mortier, the prosecutor, said that on Saturday Hight, about 11, when at the corner of Berkeley-square, the prisoner followed him, saying something which lie did not understand, with the exception of one word, namely "penny." Ile walked on, the prisoner still following him, till he reached the corner of the square, near Piccadilly, when two men came up and pushed him violently against the wall, and at that moment he felt something like a hand in his pocket, and putting down his hand felt that his purse, containing five pieces of 2.0 f. each, and one hank-note for 100 f., and several English coins, was gone. The little seal now produced was also in the purse at the time. The female prisoner, then, accompanied by the men, started off, and he pursued the female and succeeded in de taining her till a constable came, when the purse was found in one of her hands and the bank-note in the other. Four pieces of the money were still missing, and he supposed they were handed to the men at the time. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said she would plead guilty. Mr. Beadon said, with the two men assisting her, be did not know whether he was right in asking her the question whether she was guilty or not. She must, however, have the longst term of imprisonment he could award her. Ile should, therefore, commit her for six months, with hard labour. THAMES.-BENEVOLENCE-THE POOR BLIND BOY, —Mr. Selfe, on taking his seat Ibis morning, stated that be had great pleasure in saying that the appeal made to the public in favour of a poor blind boy, named Daniel Regan, by Mr. Charles Dyke, of Eaton-square, bad already met with considerable success. The boy was seriawly assaulted and his skull fractured by a ruffian, who was convicted and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. Mr. Dyke bad put the boy into an institution for the relief of the blind, with the intention of teaching the boy a trade, but there were no funds to maintain him, and the earnings o f th e l a d , at present, and for some time, would be but very trifling. Mr. Selfe then handed to our reporter a list of donations which he had received for the benefit of the poor blind boy, as follows :—Hon. E. E., LI ; J. IG. 8., £1; R., £2 (and £3 for the poor-box fund); H. L. S. S. P., 55.; W. H., ss. ; R. M. H., Cheltenham, 55.; H. B. L., 2s. 6d. ; J. Graham, 6d. ; J. M. Oppenheim, £1 ; and J. F., £2. Mr. Selfe also stated that Mrs. Charles Dyke had given £5 for the poor blind boy, and a gentleman £l, and that it was to be hoped the benevolence of the public would enable Mr. Dyke to make a provision of a permanent nature for the boy, who was really a deserving object of relief. 9, 1; entrsl,newpref. al scot.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but mode rately supplied with wheat, for which the demand was far from active, at about stationary pric?.3. All spr'ng corn moved off steadily, at extreme rates. The flour trade was far from active. Throughout the Continent the fluctuations in the value of pro duce have been trifling. In the rafted States the price of both wheat and flour continues firm. The arrivals of home-grown produce, up to our market last week, were very moderate. From abroad we received 17,130 quarters of wheat, 8,029 barley, 55,662 oats, 3,402 beans, 1,204 peas, 267 tares, 4,333 linseed, 2,090 rapeseed, 15 mustard seed, 3,150 Indian corn, 50 sacks, and 1,065 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day from Essex, Kent, Suffolk, &c., the arrivals of wheat coastwise and by land-carriage were on a very moderate scale, and the general condition of the samples was by no means first-rate. Norwithstanding that the show of samples was not in excess of previous market-days, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled very inactive. In the quotations, however, searcely any change took place. There was an extensive show of nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Millers generally showed no disposition to operate ; hence the de mand ruled heavy, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grans were mostly held at full quotations. The few samples of Engl 4 3h barley in the market sold read'ly at very full prices. Interior parcels commanded very little attention, yet the quotations were support d. Mall—the show of which str- good--sold ate, lily, at late rates. Good sound oats were in far requ: t, and pliccs were well sup• pot; d. I ,w and damp parcels sold slowly at barely Into rates. Beans were in ;air ramest at fu"y lr - t week's currency. We had a steady inqu 4 ry for peas, at fu l l quotations. The flour trade was inactive, but no change took place in prices.

With the exception of line yearling hops being in fair request, at full prices, there is scamely any business doing in our market, and the quotations are almost nominal. The duty is called £250,000, and the plantation accounts are very favourable. Picking will shortly become general. BOROI7GII AND SPITALFIELDS. Since Monday last the supplies of potatoes on sale here have considerably increased. Although a full average business has been transacted, prices have had a downward tendency. Regents are selling at from 655. to 905.; Shaws, 555. to 705., and middlings, 355. to 503. per ton. The accounts respecting the crop continne very favourable. Last week's imports were only 40 bass from llambro'. WOOL MARKET. The public sales of Colonial wool have, at length, been brought to a close. The quantity of wool offered was 77,536 bales Colonial, and 6,030 East India and other low wools. Prices advanced Id. to 2d. per lb., and about 8,600 bales were taken for the Continent. By private contract very little is doing on former terms. Last week's imporZs were 1,300 bales from Algoa Bay, 564 from Port Philip, and 57 from biogador. TALLOW.

Turner and Clark, respecting whom the most serious appre hensions were entertained, are progressing more favourably than was anticipated. All the sufferers located in the vicinity of the acc,'dent continue to receive every possible a•tcn'lJu ;.e.,•tledical men employed by the company, and it is hoped tha t all may recover. Immediately after the adjournment of the inquest on Wednesday the friends of the deceased took possession of the bodies, under the authority of the coroner, who issued warrants for the interment of the dead, and in the course of the evening they were removed to their late helves. A number of thieves speedily congregated after the collision, and instead of affording assistance to the wounded, attempted to make profit by plundering those who were insensible. But the exertions of the police in repressing these attempts were most praiseworthy, and much property that would other wise have been lost was preserved by their means. A valuable watch found on the line is still in the possession of the police unclaimed. The following is a return of the injured obtained on the spot :—' At the Cock Inn, and a'tended by Mr. Walker, surgeon : Samuel Clarke, fracture of spine and paralysis of the ex tremities ; also other severe injuries —very serious. Mr. Corser, very extensive scalp wounds and internal injuries. Henry James, injuries to back, face, and head—progress ing, and removed this morning to his home. At the Swan Inn, Moor -street :—Richard Wassill, frac tured ribs, severe scalp wounds, with concussion of the brain —very serious. William Kendrick, right thigh fractured in two places, left leg comminuted fracture. John Webb, compound fracture of the left leg and right toe—latter am putated. William Harley, general concession and injuries to face and head—improving. At the cottage adjoining—Mrs. Whitehouse, injuries to back and head, and much shaken —removed to her home. At Noden's beerhouse, Moor-street—Haden Smith, com minuted fracture of arm and general bruises —removed this morning to his home. Miss Bevan, comminuted fracture of arm, and general bruises—serious. Mrs. Wychley (ber sister), fracture of the right leg, and other injuries —improv ing. All the above cases are being treated by Mr. Walker. At the Royal Exchange, Brettel-lane—Mrs. H. Fisher, of Prince's-end, attended by Mr. Osborne, Stourbridge, and Mr. Underhill, Tipton. She is progressing favourably. This woman had five children with her in the train, all of whom escaped. At the Crown Inn, Brettel-lane—Charles Turner, Prince's-end, attended by Drs. Everett and Carden, the company's surgeons; Mr. Norris, of Brierley-hill; and Mr. Hardinge, of Stourbridge. He is seriously injured, but pro gressing favourably. Thomas Brett, Daisy-bank, severe injuries, but progressing favourably. He is attended by Mr. Osborne, surgeon, Dudley. Edward Jones, hairdresser, of Dudley Port, injured in the left leg—progressing favour ably. At the Whimsey Inn, Brier ley-hill, attended by Mr. N. Avent, Stourbridge—Mrs. Jones, of Prince's-end, fractured clavicle, contused chest and abdomen, sprained right ankle, and contused left thigh—doing well. Thomas Jones,jun., contusions and otherwise badly bruised —removed home to Prince's-end. Elijah Jones, contused knees and lacerated scalp—removed home to Prince's-end. Thus it will be seen that the number of deaths at present has not been increased. THE BRUTAL STABBING CASE NEAR CANTERBURY. CANTERBURY, SATURDAY EVENING. At Canterbury on Saturday, the prisoner Edward Verdon, a labourer, was brought up, on remand, and placed at the bar of the county police-office, in Watling street, before Mr. Edward Foss and Capt. Mackay charged with having' feloniously stabbed and wounded Henry Har low, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, at the parish of Sturry, as stated in our paper of the 24th inst. The prisoner is a small but stout-built man of most deter mined character. The injured man (Harlow) was represented to the bench to be still in a very low and critical position, from the severe injuries inflicted upon him by the accused, there being no less than nine different stabs on the breast and thigh. One of them, an incised wound of some extent, upon the breast, from three to four inches in length, taking a slanting direction over the ribs, and extending some depth over the upper part of the stomach, was considered extremely dangerous, as was also a deep puncture in the thigh. The wounded man's deposition (taken at his bed•side) was the following effect : I was in the Red Lion public-house at Sturry on Saturday night last. I went there about nine o'clock. I had a pint of beer, and a few glasses were given me afterwards by a person named Hills. The prisoner was there when I went in, but went out for about an hour during the evening. I knew him by having seen him about Sturry. I bad never had any quarrel with him. After the prisoner bad returned to the room, be had a quarrel with a man named Uden. They were not near me, and I had no part in it. The prisoner after that was lying down on a form on the opposite side to where I was. He was apparently asleep. I saw him get up and take his knife out of his pocket, and open it. His eyes were fixed on me. I thought be was going to attack me. I got up to defend myself. A man named Poisin was sitting close by me. The prisoner came towards me quickly, with the knife in his right hand. Nothing was then being said about him. When he came up to me I felt the knife in my thigh. I did not hear him say anything. He made several thrusts at me with his right hand. He was taken hold of by the people about me and taken awby ; I found he had given me severai wounds, and I was removed. I can give no reason why the prisoner attacked me. A man named Hills bad been chaffing and jeering him before be left the room and after his return. Hills sat at no great distance from me. There were three or four persons between me and Hills. I think the prisoner laid for a quarter of an hour after Hills had left chaffing him. Prisoner had had a " middling parcel" to drink, and I think he could not have been very sober. Thomas Ireland, groom in the service of the incumbent of Sturry,deposed to being present on the night in question,when Harlow was stabbed. Some wrangling had been going on between the prisoner and others, but Harlow took no part in it, nor did he speak at all to Verdon. The prisoner had been chaffed, and he fought with a man named Uden, after which he laid down on a form, and remained quiet for about a quarter of an hour, during which time his leg was tied to a chair by Charles Hills. The prisoner then got up, took out his knife, cut the string round his leg, and, without speaking a word to any one in the room, went directly across to Harlow and said to him, " Now, you -, if you want anything of me, have some of this," at the same time holding up an open knife. Har low got up for the purpose of protecting himself, but the prisoner (bring much shorter) slipped down underneath him, and began jobbing the knife into his chest and thigh. Per sons in the room imu.ediately rushed upon the prisoner, took the knife from him, and safely secured him, while a surgeon was fetched to the injured man. James Jezzard (the landlord) produced the knife that was taken from the prisoner at the time of the occurrence. (It is a common clasp knife. The prisoner having been duly cautioned, declined to say anything in answer to the charge. He was then committed for trial at the next Kent assizes, and:the witnesses bound over to attend and give evidence aganist him. SINGULAR PROCEEDINGS.—At the Sheffield Ses sions, on Wednesday, a young man, named Charles Eller ton, was charged with stealing £33 and other property, belonging to John Naylor of Knottingley, under very pecu liar circumstance?. The prosecutor, a master mariner, left home for the purpose of joining his vessel and going out for a voyale; but on his way lie met with an old friend, and the two adjourned to a public house and indulged in sundry glasses. This had the effect of causing the mariner to change his mind about joining his vessel, and at a late hour in the evening he returned home, when be hoped again to meet with his wife. He was not a little sur prised, however, to find that the house presented the ap. pearance of having been ransacked, and that his better half was, along with various other domestic articles, missing. Ile examined the house, and discovered that a £lO note, a £5 note, and £lB gold, were missing, as well as a large quantity of wearing apparel and other property. On the day following the husband went to Leeds, and in a house in Briggate, succeeded in finding his wife in bed with the prisoner. The missing property was found in p ossession of the pair, and the prisoner was given into custody on the charge of having stolen it. This was the charge which the jury had now to decide. On behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Foster urged the technical objection, that adultery had not been proved; and that if adultery had not been committed, the wife had a perfect right to do as she thought proper with her husband's property. Mr. Overend carefully summed up the whole case, and explained the law to the jury, and about one o'clock they were ordered to consider their verdict. After some delay in the box, at their own request the jury were locked up, and after being alone for about an hour a strong smell of cigar smoke was perceived. The officer in charge went into the room to ask if they had agreed upon their verdict, and he was told that they were as far off as at first." By some means they had be come possessed of a large number of cigars, and n - hcn the officer entered seemed to be in the full and peaceable enjoyment of the " weesl." About four o'clock intelligence was brought into court that Mr. George Cooper, one of the jurymen, was unwell. :Mr. J. F. Wright, surgeon, was sent for, and be certified that it would be dangerous for the juryman to remain. The whole twelve were then called into court, and, in answer to the question from the clerk of the peace, " Have you agreed upon your verdict ?" said, "No ; we are as far off as ever." The sick juryman was then discharged by Mr. Overend, and the prisoner was bound over in £2O to appear and answer the charge at Wakefield on Thursday.—Manchester Examiner. THE FISHERMEN'S STRIKE AT HULL.—The fishermen's strike at this port continues. On Thursday a large number of them attended the arrival of the Vivid steam-packet from London. Several policemen were also present to keep order. Two men dressed as fishermen landed; one of them produced a letter stating that he was not coming to take any part in the strike, but to take charge, as master, of a vessel at Grimsby. He and his companion were allowed quietly to pass; but it was stated that ten other men—in two parties of six and four—pro ceeded in a boat from the Vivid to fishing vessels without landing, and without their presence becoming known to the watchers of the strike. No cause for the interference of thg constAblo IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. CARDINAL WISEMAN AT DALLINASLOE. The proceedings at Ballinasloe have had a festive as well as a sacred episode. The Cardinal has been entertained at a surapiii:Jus dinner in that town. The guests were very select. It was, in fact, an ecclesiastical demonstration, there only being two laymen present. One hundred and fifty prelates and priests of various grtyless sat down. After the good cheer had been dis posed of, there were several speeches by dignitaries whose names figure in the report of the F, eeman's Journal in full titular pretension, the Ecclesiastical Titles Act not withstanding. The "Cardinal Prince Lord Archbishop of Westminster," the "Archbishop of Tuns," the "Lord Bishop of Clonfert," addressed the assembled hierarchy. " His Holiness the Pope," "Dr. Wiseman," " The Chair man (Dr. Denny)," &c., were the toasts. Monsignor Talbot, in .speaking to the first, stated that he was about to go to Rome, and that he would not fail to report to his Holiness the duteous character of his Irish subjects. The speeches of the evening were, as might be expected, those of Dr. Wiseman and Dr. M'Hale, both of whom glanced distantly et the politics iva p in o ,d i f n i t arii to es,h insist artmnorn Romani of their sy s t em in Ireland. The former, however, made it a among the necessity of uni on b etween E ng li s h n C th a e th r o m lic a s tte fo r r a, po t l r i e t n ic t a ad l p h u i r a p c o n se n s fr ; er a e n s d to Dr a . lecture against cattle shows, as if he intended, after his next mass, to launch a relentless anathema at Tarn stock feeders and graziers. Subjoined are the pithiest pas sipoefleuchenestialof p e t r h a e n n aLondon t‘h‘ePrKinicneg,': a se a g d es th f e rom ,, m t o h s e t dom of Connaught." It should be mentioned, in explanation of the circumstance, that the report of this din ner only appears in to-day's Freeman, although it took place on the second day of the Cardinal's visit to Ballinas loe, that the speakers are understood to have held over their addresses for revisi tn. The Cardinal, on rising, said he well knew what faith there was in this country, hors devoted the inhabitants were to their religion, and how they inherited the love of their persecuted ancestors for the See of Peter. Yet, living In another country, where such scenes as had cheered and delighted then all these days past could not take place, be had formed no idea of the glowing warmth and of the en thusiasm of the piety of those mighty masses of Irish Catho lics whose cheers had scarce yet ceased. Looking back to the demonstrations of popular devotion to the church which so happily marked the festive days, he could scarce think of them as realities; he needed an effort to satisfy himself that what he S3W was not a dream. After several observations of a similar character, Dr. Wiseman gave utterance to the following lament at the manliness of the English Romanist:4, who, it appears, are not so abject as their brethren here :—I believe I am natur ally inclined to delight in such joyous manifestations as those I have just referred to a moment ago, and I should, perhaps, look upon it as a salutary dispensation of Providence in my regard, that my.allotted sphere of action is in a country where such external influences are rarely, if at all, felt. The sense of duty, the voice of conscience—not the cheers of the warmhearted religious multitude —must exclusively prompt to its performance or repay me. In the morning I go to a church, offer the holy sacrifice, address the worship pers, or go through some other function. I leave the eaurch and return home without any external indication to show that deep interest in what has been done, such as in Ireland greets the Irish ecclesiastic et every stage of his missionary labours. It may be that sometimes a small knot of humble, yet cheerful members of the flock will group around the church door and smile their satisfaction, or per haps even allow their gushing feelings to find vent in some religious exclamations. But I never need inquire whence those sympathising Catholics come. I knew well they are from Ireland—mayhap from Ballinasloe or Galway, or Hullinger, but certainly from the country where the faith flourishes in all its primitive verdure and fruitfulness. The Catholics of England are deeply interested in the con tinuance of that glorious union that characterises the Irish nation—(hear, hear)—the union of its bishops, priests, and people. The fate of the Catholics of England may be said to depend on the Catholics of Ireland--(hear, hear)—not, indeed, because these come and form congregations and churches in the cities and towns of England —not because wherever they settle in England congregations and churches are established. Important as these advantages are in a country in which the true religion had almost be come extinct, it is in another sense I mean to say that the fate of English Catholics depends upon their brethren of the Catholic Church in Ireland. The dominant power in the State may affect to disregard the complaints and remon strances against the injustice of which still the Catholics of both countries have too much cause to complain, and vexatious obstacles to the free exercise of the Catholic reli gion may be maintained or introduced in despite of us, English Catholics. But no party that may have the administration of the affairs of the British empire can venture to treat with contemptuous disregard the just and united demands of the Catholic people and the Ca tholic hierarchy of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Let the priests of Ireland then act as they so well know bow to act, earnestly, disinterestedly, and with fearless perseverance in maintaining their and their people's just religious rights—in resisting all encroachment on them, in obtaining redress of tbe grievances which religion has stEl to contend with. (Loud and pro tonged applause.) It was indeed consoling and hopeful to see in the course oflast year bow the Catholics of both countries worked together with these views—to see the Irish members of Parliament and the Catholic peers of England united in demanding for their religion what as citizens Catholics are entitled to. (His eminence sat dewn amidst hearty and long-continued applause.) Dr. WHale, in alluding to the share he took in the reli gious ceremonies at Ballinasloe, made use of the following extraordinary remarks :—To me it afforded no small gratifi cation to be High Priest on the solemn occasion, and to ratify by the mystic aspersion of the Blood of the Lamb the sacred covenant which was this day renewed between the Almighty and His people. (Loud cheers.) Dr. M‘Hale, if his words mean anything, evidently fears that other matters than the interests of the Church are up permost in the minds of the people of Ballinasloe : " liin every city, as in every rural district, a church is the first want to be supplied, in order to give force to every obligation, how much more in Ballinasloe, the centre of th a t traffic in cattle, whi c h now i s b ecoming the busiest and most active commerce of the age ? Fairly carried on with a subordinate regard to the higher and holier interests, it is a laudable calling, but the care of four. footed beasts should never supplant the feelings of humanity to those creatures cormed to God's own image, and destined to p ar ti c i pat i on of the glories of His o wn kingdom. To prefer cattle shows to the pursuits of agriculture, properly so-called, may be a matter of taste with which we have no concern; and to prefer either to a discussion of those penal priva tions under which Catholics still labour on account of their religion, though it may be a matter of surprise, it is still but a legitimate excuse of that freedom 'Meta we all claim, and which we have no disposition to arraign, pro vided it is not taken for granted that our island is destined to be only a cattle mart to the universe, and that the mis nomer of politicians is not to be so flippantly applied to all who vindicate the superiority of the poor over the cattle, and contend, from the past history of Ireland, as the civiliser of barbarous nations, as well as her present stupendous influ ence in propagating the faith, that the distinction of being the Island of Saints is still reserved for the Irish nation. (Cheers.) It is this excessive misplacement of the relations of duty that is to be deplored. The rage for cattle feeding SUMS to threaten us with something like an Egyptian idolatry when the worship of Mammon and of Serapis seem equally prized; it is well to have such a Christian temple always accessible to remind one of that holy victim to which the sacrifice of animals once forming a portion of Divine worship was obliged to give way. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT. A very painful accident occurred on the river Shannon yesterday. The facts are not fully known ; but it is said that two young ladies, passengers in an excursion steamer, lost their lives from the amplitude of their garments. In passing some machinery they were caught by it, and crushed to atoms immediately. THE MOORS AND FORESTS. (From the Inverness Courier of Thursday.) The reports from the moors continue to be of the same satisfactory character as those which we have from time to time published before and after the 12th. A sport sman in Strathspey says, "We have had better sport on this ground than in any year since 1853." Mr. Wynne Williams "all appearance of disease has disappeared from the Tulchen Moors." Major Hirst gives the same account of his moors in Ross-shire. Sir Alexander P. Gordon Cum ming says the birds are in finer condition and more numer ous than for ten years past. The gamekeeper at Knockie repeats that he never saw the young grouse so heavy at the same time of the season. Remarks of a generally favour able character have been received from nearly all the low lying moors. The following are a few notes of sport .—Mr. Frederick A. Hankey, on Clare Moor and Swordale, killed 6 brace of grouse, 2,1 of block-game, and a couple of wild ducks on the 20th inst. On the 20th inst,, Mr. Mackenzie, while shooting black-game on the Scatwell ground, brought down 5 couple of woodcock in the short space of three hours and during that time a good many more were flushed.
