Page said that he was on duty last night in Oxford street, outside the Princess's Theatre, when he saw the prisoner quarrelling with a cabman. Seeing the prisoner strike the cAbrnan,he interfered, and to.)k him into Custody, when he became very violent, and struck him and the cabman several times, and it took several constables to take him to the station. Westerway said that last night the prisoner got into his cab in Piccadilly, and, after keeping him about an .hour, told him to go to Oxford-street,where he got out of the eats and walked away and would not pay him ; and on his following him he knocked 'him down and assaulted thO police. The prisoner damaired his cab, and would not pat anything; all he wanted was to fight. Reeve said thrt last night ho was on duty in Oxford street when his attention was called to two constableb, who had got hold of tho prisoner. Seeing that prisoner was getting the upper hand of the constables, he wont to their assistance, when the prisoner kicked him on the head but did not hurt him, and they were obliged to have the assistance of two of the Foot Guards, who volunteered their assistance, to get the prisoner to the station. Mr. Knox said he was very glad to hear that the soldiers had assisted the police. The pence did not appear to be hurt, but they must be protected. Ho should fine the pri soner 20s. for each of the assaults on the police, £5 for the assault on the cabman, and ho would have to pay the damage—in all £7 15s.

THE SAILOR AND HIS LADL—Elizabeth Felton, a Nep tune-street woman, aged 23 years, was charged with steal ing sundry articles of new wearing apparel, the property of Henry Allen, a seaman. It appeared that less than three weeks ago the seaman was paid off front his ship, and he received about £35 in wege s. He fell in with the prisoner and married her over the brootn, in fact, ho said, sho was to be any wife while I remained in port; and I spout £29 over her iu a fortnight., and she ought to have been satisfied. I squared up at the Sailor's Home in Well-street, where my things were, ou Saturday, and all was right there. My ship did not go away as was expected that day, and I came back to that lady there and found she had pawned all the things I had left there. Mr. I3enson—Now, don't call her a lady ; sh e i s any thing but that. The Seaman—Well, I behaved like a gentleman to her. I gave her 295. on Thursday, and money whenever s h e wanted it. Two pawnbroker's assistants produced the property. One handed in a new coat and vest pawned for 135., and the other a new silk handkerchief and a new pair of trousers for ss. A woman named Cloyne, In the service of the prisoner, pawned the articles. Mr. Benson said he would not allow the woman Cloyne to be sworn. She was as bad as the prisoner, and ought to have been charged with her. The prisoner raid "her sailor" left behind him a lot of old things, and she did not expect him to return. She told her servant Cloyno to pawn them. Mr. Benson said all the articles wore bran new, and had never been worn. The prisoner had behaved very badly to " her sailor," as she termed him. He fined her £2 for unlawfully pawning, and ordred her to pay £2 in addi tion, the value of the clothes, in all £4, or be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for ,one month.

Mr. Joseph Judge Hayes, of llertingtoramy, Wen summoned at the Hertford County Sessions on Saturday by the Great Northern Railway Company for unlawfully signalling a train to stop without reasonable or sufficient excuse for so doing. The proceedings were taken under the Act requiring means of communication to be provided between passengers and guards and drivers of all railway trains travelling twenty miles without stopping. On the 12th inst. the defendant left King's-cross by the 2.45 express to Man chester and Liverpool, which does not stop till it reaches Peterborough. lie should have got into a "slip" car riage placed in the rear of the train, which is dropped at ITatfield, at which place he wanted to stop ; but instead of doing so he got into a carriage labelled " Eradford," placed nearly in the centre of the t rain. Just after passing Hat field Mr. I [ayes pulled the cord of communication which runs outside the carriages, and the driver and guard, hearing the gong on tho engine sound, looked round, a.nd saw him making signs to the cflect that he wanted tai get out at the station just passed. The guard signalled hack that the train could not be stopped for such a purpose, and the defendant by a gesture intimated that be was tatisfied. Shortly after the train passed Hitchin the gong sounded again, and on its being brought nearly to a standstill the defendant got out. Dir. Hayes, in defence, said he could not find a ' carrlcge on at king's-cross, and got into the Bradford carriage under the impression made upon his mind by looking at time-table that the train stoppel at Ilitchin. The magistrates found that Mr. Hayes bad used the means of comnmni-cation without reasonable and sufficient cause. It ought never, the chairman said, to be used except in grave and important circumstances, such as murderous violence, sudden illness, a carriage being found on fire, or other serious circumstances of a similar kind. As, however, this w: s the first case of the kind that had come before the bench, they would only inflict a penalty of ss. and costs. THE HARVEST The Magnet says :—" Considerable progress has been made with harvest work in the Midland and Southern counties, and the weather having been dry and favourable, the wheat has been generally got in in good condition. We regret to state, however, that our remarks in respect to the probable extent of the yield are likely to be sub stantiated. There in an abundance of straw, but the ears are of light weight, and when thrashed out, the result affords a decided proof that the yield will turn out to be beneath the average, and mach less than last year. This is doubtless owing to the cold ungenial May and .Time succeeding the mild winter, and to the large accumulation of moisture, but at the same time there will be great disparity in the yield and quality. In some parts of the Southern English counties the crop is consi dered to be good, whilst from others complaints of undeveloped ears and damage sustained by rust and mildew are current. The benefit derived from a week of fine weather is generally admitted, and a continuance of the same is urgently required, as it improves the crops still standing, and enables farmers to proceed with their out door avocations unmolested, and to carry their pro duce in good condition. The barley crop looks well on the whole, notwithstanding that there will be a simi lar variety in quality and yield as in the case of wheat. Oats, however, arc hardly so well spoken of as for merly ; nevertheless a fair crop is expected. Beans and peas, owing to the ravages committed by insects, will be only a moderate crop, notwithstanding that a larger than ordinary acreage has been planted. The root crops, generally, look well. The symptoms of disease recently noticed in 1 otatoes have almost en tirely disappeared, and, although additional moisture would be of benefit to swell the tutars, the yield will certainly be a full average. Sanguine expectations are entertained of the turnip crop ; but more rain will be necessary in order to bring the crop to its full develop ment. The other root crops also look well. The pastures and meadows are in good condition, and a fair second crop of hay is expected. From the Continent the accounts shew no further change. The yield of wheat is variable ; but the falling off noticed in France, the northern parts of Germany, and Italy, is about compensated for by the large yield obtained in other quarters. Advices from New York remark that the substance of the reports from the spring wheat sections is to the effect that the farmers are surprised to find that the rains had caused such slight injury to the crop, and the opinion is very generally expressed that the excessive moisture really did much good in destroying insects—a compensation as nn looked for as it is gratifying.

The City of Paris, with Prince Arthur on board, made the passage from Qneonstown to Halifax in six cloys twenty-one hours and a half, after allowing for differenec of time. The voyage was performed at the rate of thirteen and a half knots, or fifteen and a half miles, per hour. Dr. Lush, one of the mcnibtrs for ;Salisbury, has contradicted the report that he had been nominated by the Government to the office of a commissioner in lunacy, and would conFequently vacate his rent. Dr. Lush has no in tention of resigning his rent in Darlinment either now or at any other time so long ss he is enablcd to preserve the con fidence of his constituents. The Liverpool Mercury is alarmed by the announce ment that a budding in the town which hes hitherto been used as a Methodist chapel is about to be turrod into a ca sino. It is the first attempt in Liverpool to establish such a place on a largo sale. Liverpool ii already bad enough ; bat it will be made by establishments of this kind is not bard to see. Twenty thousand persona were present at the Drogheda Fenian amnesty meeting on Funday, headed by bands from Dublin. The multitude wore green decorations of various kinds. Fenian airs were played by the bands Rosolut'ons were adopted, declaring that the detention of the Fenian prisoners by Erglish statesmen is unwise, im politic, and inconsistent. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle says that no attempt was made at the conforeace between Elul Mayo and Share Ali to obtain a treaty from the latter. Shore Ali himself was anxious for alliance with India, so anxious that he would probably have sacrificed a portion of his in d(•pt ndenee in order to gain this end. But the British Go vernment wisely deprecated such interference in Affghan affairs, and presents were accordingly given to Shere Ali without conditions (f any kind. It is hereved that Russia and England will come to an understanding involving the neutrality of Afighanistan. A notice has just been issued ant ouncing that the intended miners' conference will take place at Dudley on the Gilt of September, ashen delegates are invited to meet ft deputation from Lancashire and North and South Wolff. In tho notice miners are thus addressed :—" The present degraded and unenviable condition in which the miners of the above places aro now found, is proved to arise mainly if not entirely, from the practice so prevalent, not only in South South Staffordshire and East Worcester shire, Lut in all parts of the British Isles where coals are being raised, viz.: Over-production' aril the' Long-hour system.' This is to call upon you to arouse yourselves and to join your fellows in Lancashire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, North of England, North and South Wales, to re move these pernicious evils, and thereby to secure to your selves a higher rate of wages." Mr. Bentinck, 11. P., at the meeting of the Cum lerlend and Westmoreland Agricultural society, made a long Teed), the purport of which was that Protection had evived, and that its principles were once more becoming popular. He pointed to the debate in Coventry and the French Treaty, to the "Reviver" meetings which have been held in the metropolis, to the propozals for the Government to g:vo scientific education to workmen, and to the comparison instituted between Switzerland and Ire land by Professor Playtair, in proof of his asser tien. Far bo it from him (he said) to reflect upon his Irish fellow-countrymen, with whom he was connected in more ways than one; but there was one obvious answer there are fewer Irislanen in Switzerland than there are in Ireland. Switzerland is under the strongest protective laws, and Ireland has none. Now, ho would not himself express any opinion upon this subject at present; but he bad always had the strongest sympathy with the agricultural inte rest, and he believed the agricultural interest—the tenant farmer—to bo the backbone and sinew of the strength of England ; and he was sure, if we do return to the discussion of free trade and protection once more, the ag riculturists would behave as they did before in a most hon ourable and independent way, and not for one moment hest itato to sacrifice their kriyitt I,4tFitgAiklhe rual twit o 1 the oeuntrYs: PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. , - - ZEMDAT. To-day the Conseils Cvn6raux commencekiheiraebours, and they arc, consequently, the great object of' liven Rion. The papers are full of criticisms on their constitutb.enal position, and conjectures as to the addresses of theirPrk7i dents. The LibcrtJ divides the latter into three classeig the representatives of the policy of resistance, of the transitory policy, and of the policy of the future. Under the first head it places M. Rouhcr and the old Ministers of the personal government ; under the second, the Ministry now in office; under the °third, MM. Emile 011ivier and Lluvet. It remains to bsnseen which policy will find most advocates in the Consceild. It is said that the Government, taking into consideration'the exceptional circumstances of the time, will, contrary to its usual rile, allow the inaugural discourses to touch .upon•the political questions of the day. If this be true, I nee:l not say that the ridOrceses will be unusually interesting. The Liberals are anxiously ]loping that the provincial essembliestwill express their wi<l,e, nrongly on some of th - yet unaccomplished but much-n,:rded reforms. The Temps mentions three of these prohlemA, to the solution of which it Attaches the greatest importance. These arc the com p:ete decentralisation of the administratioo of the depart ments and commoner; the restitution of the legislative of fixing the limits of the electoral circvmscriptions ; Anil last, not least, the abrogation of Artielo of the Constitution "de l'an VIII." It is evident that a strong and united attack is about to be made upon this obnoxious article, which the snick-witted Parisians readily perceive nentralises many of the Ministerial concessions. So long es there is 00 security for individual liberty, so long as the sgents of the Government have complete immunity from the consequences of arbitrary and unjust arrests, there can be little public confidence. Great importance is universally attached to the action of the Gonseils- GtWra.nx, and the Petrie goes so far as to affirm that the future rests with them. This is saying too much, though the influence of these assemblies has been considerably increased by recent legislation, and their action at this time is undoubtedly highly important. The debate on the Senatus-Consultum will occupy, it is thought, from six to eight sittings, so that there is little prospect of the vote being taken before the 111th of Sep tember. The promulgation of the decree will take place immediately after the vote. It seems likely that the Senate will not meet until next Wednesday, instead. of Tuesday, as was first announced. The commission, it is said, wished M. Devienne to make some slight alterations in his report, alterations which, as you may suppose, refer to the 2nd and the 11th Articles. To-day the commission meets again on account of these alterations. It is believed that General Lebecuf is the most desirable successor that could hare been chosen to Marshal Niel, and that he is certain to carry out the arduous work commenced by his predecessor. The general outline has been traced, but there remains a great deal to be done before the task is accomplished. General Lebccuf possesses many facilities for the enterprise, he has the confidence of the army, and he may fairly expect to secure the co-operation of the two Chambers. The Emperor received yesterday the President of the Senate, the reporter of the Commission of the Senatus- Consultum, and General Lelexuf, who took oaths on his appointment as Minister of War. The Emperor is reported to have taken a long walk, and it is even supposed that he will torday pass some hours at the Tuileries. It is believed in Florence that the President of the Council and the Minister of the Interior will go to Corsica towards the end of the month to pay their respects to the Empress. An impression prevails that her Majesty will visit Venice in the middle of September, and that the authorities are already taking steps to secure for her a imitable reception. As yet, however, nothing is decided upon with respect to the Emprees'e movements after her return from Corsica. A sad affliction has befallen a distinguished literary man, M. Constant Guersult. His youngest son was drowned while bathing in the neighbourhood of Saint Denis. As the clothes of the unfortunate young man gave no clue to his identity, his body lay for some days at Saint Denis without being recognised. It was only last Tuesday that the sad mystery was cleared up in consequence of inquiries being instituted into the cause of his absence. INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, This day. The Oxford crew did not go out this morning, but reserved themselves for a pull over the course this evening. Shortly before one o'clock the Har vard crew went out in their new boat, built here by Mr. Elliott, who came with them to this country. They were not steered by their own coxswain, but by Edward Phelps, a boy, the son of the Lon don boat. house keeper, who handled the yoke lines well. In order to bring his weight up to Mr. Burnham's, their coxswain, lie carried bags of dLot to the amount of nearly ablbs. The boat has a great deal a go in her, and the crew will most assuredly be more formidable opponents in her than in any other iu which they have yet been afloat. They started at :.!8 r;trokes put- minute, with way upon their boat incredibly fast. They olntinued up the river at a fine p•ice to near lanunersmith bridge, and thAt turtle!, and came down (.;ver the early 11_:0 1. 01.111KE7 S-2 IllS D.IY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

During the stay of this ship at Portsmouth she was an object of great attraction, and the visitors received the most courteous attention from the officers.

ROYAL CALEDONIAN HUNT AND EDINBURGH MEETING.— The programme of Handicaps for this the greatest of Scottish meetings, has appeared, and it will be observed that the unprecedented "sum total" of added money is promised to verge on 1,500 sows, which is ample evidence of the prosperity of the Turf over the Border; and as it so far exceeds all previous efforts, there can be little doubt but the meeting will secure that amount of patronage from owners and trainers which it so worthily deserves. A now T. Y. C., with fully five furlongs straight, is ono of the latest improvements, an extension of paddocks being also in progress. SPIRITUAL T RANSPORTATI ON. —A gentleman of Indianapolis visited Mrs. Kergwin, at Jeffersonville, Indiana, recently, and, while there, was informed by the spirits that they would carry a bouquet to his mar ried daughter, who resides at Terre Haute. He accord ingly prepared a bouquet, and attached to it a letter, and, when all was ready, he states that the letter and bouquet were taken from his hand and suddenly disappeared. In a short time a report was returned stating thtit the mes sage and flowers had been delivered at his daughter's re sidence, and laid upon a bureau in her bed-chamber. The gentleman is now awaiting a latter from his daughter by mail to corroborate the statements of the agents of this new express line.

The Recorder, on behalf of the Corporation, read an address welcom ing the Prince to Nova Scotia, and earnestly assur ing his Royal Highness of their loyalty and their deep respect and affection for Queen Victoria. The Prince, in reply, expressed his grateful thanks for the cordial welcome he had received, and his great satisfaction at finding how highly the people of Nova Scotia cherish the memory of him grandfather, who had governed the province. The affectionate allusion to the Queen, and the hearty welcome of her son would, he said, give her Majesty great pleasire. A large procession of the Trade Societies, and a review of the military by the Prince, followed the presentation of the address. The city was illuminated in the evening. NEW YORE, Aug. 24.
