I cannot hear you. Some discussion then arose upon this question, and it was stated that it had been customary during the judgeship of Mr. Gurney (the Recorder) and the late Mr. Pren dergast, His Honour—ln this Court we cannot hear a barrister unless instructed by an attorney, and it would be rather hard upon the bar to permit an attorney, instructed by another attorney. _ _ At this moment Mr. Beard came into court, and thus saved further discussion.

This was an action which had been adjourned by his Honour to have the opinion of a jury as to whether plaintiff or defendant committed perjury. THE DONCASTER DOINGS AND THE Mr. Cooper, instructed by Mr. W. B. Davies, appeared for defendant. The action was brought to recover 28s. for a week's wages, in lieu of notice. Plaintiff said that when ho was engaged, defendant ex pressly said, " It is understood that it is to be a week's notice on either side." In cross-examination, plaintiff said he was paid piece-work. A man named Amos then said he heard defendant agree to the week's notice in " either way." In cross-exami nation, he said, " When plaintiff asked me in the shop if I heard Mr. Howe agree to give a week's notice, I replied— So help me God, Frank, he didn't." (Sensation.)

Even as these remarks slip off the pen, the streets of that prim Yorkshire town arc echoing to the tramp of the incoming visitors, and are resounding with the shouts of list sellers. Horses, too, are rapidly arriving, the course is in excellent condition, the weather promises to hold fair, and the holiday folks and the professional tur fite alike calculate upon a pleasant and successful race week. Interest in the St. Leger seems about to revive, and Promised Land has not utterly de stroyed it. The minor stakes, too, will be marked by most important results, and the two-yr-old races, in particular, will be speculated upon with much briskness. A. CASE FOR THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS. - Mr. John Joseph Haberfield, a master tailor, of Sutton-street, Soho, Wm. Delaparalle, and Wm. Simmonds, in the employ of Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell, of Soho-square, were charged with creating a disturbance and assaulting the police. The evidence of constable Bunce, 88 C, and Byers, 43 C, was to the effect that on Saturday night, or rather Sun day morning, the defendants were all talking together and making a great noise, and having expostulated with them, and on their refusing to go away, he took them into cus tody, when Bunco was violently assaulted by Haberfield and Simmonds, the latter of whom kicked Bunco several times, they all being drunk. Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defendants, and said that the defendant Haberfield was standing at his own door when he was dragged away by Bunco, the only cause being that he had complained of his not removing a drunken man; and the other defendants being taken because they expostulated with the officer. Several witnesses were called for the defence, whose evi dence went to show that the police had greatly exceeded their duty—some of them saying their conduct was marked with great brutality, one of the defendants being struck on the head with the constable (Bunce's) rattle, and that the bystanders cried " shame " at the officer's conduct. The case lasted some time, and great interest seemed to be felt in it. _ ...._......_ Haberfield was fined 10s., Simmonds 205., and Dela• paralle 10s. To expatiate, however, on the prominent features of the programme would be superfluous ; they are familiar to the veriest turf tyro. The first day's list is strong with its Champagne and Great York shire Handicap attractions. For the former Ma- dame Eglantine has no penalty, and her winning is regarded with much confidence, if—" much virtue in if " Wells can only keep her quiet at the post, and get her off on good terms with her opponents. She may be opposed by both Thormanby and Lupellus, both of whom have 51bs extra to carry. Although I entertain no expecta tions of their ability to beat the filly, yet their appearance in the lists will excite much curiosity, as they are old antagonists. The Great Yorkshire is likely to become a very interesting and profitable betting race. Many horses have already been backed for it, and before the start I shall expect to see several fresh names introduced into the list of quotations. The recent performance of Underhand has increased the num ber of Paul's sipporters, and his chance, it must be confessed, has not been over-estimated. The horse is reported many pounds better than he was at Newcastle, and if this be true, his "form" is quite good enough to win. Nucleus has been backed somewhat heavily both for this event and for the C',-esarewitch, but I entertain very slender expecta tions of his chance. Coroner has been most satis factorily tried with Twilight, and his owner and " the stable" have freely supported him ; still I do not deem him quite capable of conceding ilbs to Paul. Julia will not be stopped by her weight, but she will, I fancy, find the company rather too good to make a prominent figure. Mutineer has gone up and down in the betting with an ominous significance. He was to do wonders early in the season, but he disappointed expectation. He has en joyed a long rest, but his pretensions to win a large handicap are in my opinion of the slenderest de scription. The Squire has been a little off, and although I once entertained a great partiality for him, this cir cumstance compels me to place my confidence in a sounder if not in a worthier champion. King-at- Arms will find both the distance and the weight militate effectually against his chance. Magnum will in all probability be reserved for the St. Leger, and Newstead alone will carry the Baron's colours for the Handicap This horse has not yet shown sufficient racing ability to induce me to regard his pretensions with partiality. Although Defender has figured in the quotations, I shall not be sur prised to see him withdrawn, and saved for the more important encounter on the Wednesday. Gallus may represent Sir Joseph Hawley's interest, and may carry the " cherry colours" conspicuously in the race. To refer to the other probable starters would be useless—l shall therefore pin my faith to Paul, and should Gallus go to the post I shall re commend an investment on him for a place. Should Con tadina run up to the form which it is asserted she possesses, she will perhaps snatch the Filly Stakes from Emily. The Glasgow Stakes is likely to preduce a very interesting match between High Treason and Thor manby. Although the former possesses a good urn of speed, yet I shall not desert Mr. Merry's Mr. John Hall, whe has been established in business many years, and who keeps a first-class ale and beer-house in the Commercial-road East, at the corner of Stepney-road, came before Mr. Selfe and asked his advice how he was to act under the following circumstances :—A person named Thomas Stowell, who was well known, and who had brought numerous actions against licensed victuallers and beer-house keepers, had recommenced his work, and had served him (Mr. Hall) with a writ for permitting music to be played in his house. He had a cottage piano to amuse a few friends and customers twice a week. No charge was made for admission, and no objection was made to it by his neighbours, the police, or anyone else, and an action was commenced by Stowell to recover a penalty of £lOO under an old Act of Parliament. Mr. Selfe—You must defend the action in the best way you can. Mr. Hall—l wish to know, sir, if Stowell can be com pelled to give security for the payment of costs on my de fending the action ? Mr. Selfe said he wished to give advice on matters affect ing the public peace or the prevention of crime, but he could not be the legal adviser to the whole district. Ho re sommended Mr. Hall to act upon the advice of a solicitor, It was a matter over which he (Mr. Selfe) had no control. colours. For the Revival Plate I shall utterly abandon the two-year-olds, and shall expect the winner to be either Twilight or Mentmore. The starters for the St. Leger will not exceed a dozen, but they will perhaps fall short of that number. The popularity of Promised Land is un diminished, and indeed the circle of his partisans seems to widen, and the confidence of his friends to increase. " The diabolical hints and damnable inuendos" which have been thrown out against the honesty of purpose which actuates his party are, I am informed, merely malicious in ventions, and that they are as much in earnest with "The Land" for the St. Leger as they were for the Two Thousand and the Goodwood Cup. So much has been written and said about his Derby running —so much that was personal and unfair to his trainer and jockey, and so much that was founded merely on disappointment—that I shall not further refer to the horse's Epsom performance, but shall prove his claims to support by a reference to his running at Newmarket and Goodwood. At both those places he literally cantered away from his opponents ; and whilst for the Two Thousand he displayed undeniable speed, for the Goodwood Cup he established a reputation for staying. He there fore possesses the qualities essential to constitute a first-class horse. Some uncertainty exists as to the jockey who will have charge of him, and it is stoutly asserted in many quarters that his trainer and part owner, William Day, will again be in the saddle, whilst in others it is confidently stated that Alfred Day will have the mount. William Day will be very ill-advised, and very imprudent, to ride the horse, and expose himself to the charges of some thing worse than incapaciy, which will be made against him by disappointed backers of the horse should he be defeated. For my part I expect to see Alfred Day wear the Land's colours. Dane bury has, it would seem, withdrawn in favour of Woodyates ; and both Marionette and Trumpeter have disappeared from the betting with a sudden ness which is regarded by those who backed them as fatal to their hopes. In Trumpeter I never placed faith; in Marionette I once entertained hopes, as I believed that his owner would not inadvertently— I am sure he would not intentionally—connect himself with large " milking " establishments. People are watching with some anxiety for a sign to be made in favour of Scott's horses. Although neither Phantom nor Gamester have recently been quoted in the betting, yet many individuals believe that the Wizard of the North .will astonish the sporting world with a repetition of his Newminster, Warlock, and Impericuse tricks. At York Game ster was notoriously amiss, and the two severe races which he ran there were not likely to be conducive to his health. Still lam informed that he is well, and if John Scott were to train and run a donkey for the St. Leger I do not know whether I should be inclined to discredit the possibility of his suc cess. Mr. Hall said he would act upon the magistrate's advice By all persons Summerside is regarded as the most formidable antagonist to Promised Land, and the favour bestowed upon her has been increased since the reasons which led to her withdrawal from her engagements at York have been L satistactorily explained.

THIS DAYS MARKETS CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday ; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly, at about previous currencies. There was a fair business doing in spring corn, especially in fine barley, at full quotations. Flour, however, was somewhat neglected. Throughout the Continent, produce generally continues to be held at steady currencies, and in the United States both wheat and flour are selling at comparatively high rates. The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 8,457 quarters of wheat, 1,660 of barley, 63,904 of oats, 830 rye, 21 beans, 65 peas, 40 tares, 8,510 linseed, 5,995 oilseeds, 82 sundry seeds, 400 sacks and 6 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day only a moderate supply of English wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage, and the condition of the new samples was by no means first rate. Compared with Monday last, there was a slight im provement in the demand ; but millers generally purchased cautiously, at about that day's currency, and at which the bulk of the supply was disposed of. We were tolerably well, though not to say heavily, sup plied with foreign wheat. Good and fine samples realised previous rates, but other descriptions were very dull, at late currencies. Floating cargoes of foreign grain met a slow inquiry. Fine barley was scarce, and in request at full quotations ; but light samples moved off slowly at barely late currencies. We had a fair demand for malt at full prices. There was a fair inquiry for fine oats, at full prices. In ferior kinds were very dull, at barely late rates. Beans were a slow inquiry, and in some instances prices were a shade lower. In the value of peas no change took place. The demand was by no means active. The flour trade was steady, on former terms.

The trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning ware seasonably good as to number, but somewhat deficient in quality. For nearly all breeds the demand ruled very inactive, and in most transactions prices were 2d per Sibs lower than on Monday last. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 2,000 shorthorns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 240 oxen and heifers. We were again well supplied with sheep. On the whole, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at Thursday's decline in the quotations. The extreme value of the best old Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. As the season for lamb is now over, we have ceased to quote it. Calves, though in short supply, were a dull inquiry, and 4d per 81bs lower than on this day week. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at late currencies. The supply was rather limited. Per Blbs. to E S. d. s. d.

Her 51bs. allowance, too, must tell greatly in her favour. Defender pi-oved himself to be a good horse in the Spring, and perhaps a more dangerous outsider cannot be discovered. Should anything go wrong with the favourite, Defender will be very formid able. .Turfites, too, regard coincidencee with much significance, and they argue—illogically, perhaps — that if Flatruan could win the St. Leger two years in succession on Warlock and Imperieuse, L. Snow den may be able to win it two years in succession on Sunbeam and Defender. Gladiolus is reported much improved and so he need be to possess the chance which his friends ascribe to him. Of Comforter I entertain very slight hopes. Napoleon will run respectably, but I shall expect Gamester to revenge himself on him for his York defeat whenever they meet again. Magnum will run and will deprive Wells of his mount, on Summerside. To oppose Promised Land unscru pulously would be to act upon the silliest prejudice. Although one of those glorious uncertainties for which the Turf is notorious may cause the defeat of the favourite his overthrow is not yet dreamt of in my philosophy.

(From the Horning Post.) — Tlie -- N . ihole night was passed by the directors and the newspaper correspondents in the investigation of the explosion and its results. The Chairman, Mr. Campbell, called in the aid of Mr. J. E. M'Connell, the engineer, and prepared a report for the " gentlemen of the press," which he could hardly expect would be adopted. Ignoring the fact that three men were dead, and several lying in a very precarious state, a report was presented for publication in the newspapers which admitted barely anything but a simple acci dent, and the serious scalding of a few stokers. The indignant and unanimous refusal of the special correspondents to receive and adopt this as their report, I am happy to say produced better counsels, another statement, slightly altered, together with a medical report, were handed to us just as we left the vessel at Weymouth. I publish them, with other matter, at the foot of my letter. A ship that could bear an explosion which every disinterested engineer on board declared to be the severest that had ever happened to any steamvessel that was ever launched, and yet could steam on with undiminished speed for 12 or 15 hours, from Hast ings to Portland, without any signs of distress in her machinery, and with sea-tight sides as perfect as when they were launched from Millwall, required no injudicious support that could be given by the press at the sacrifice of truth, in the face of a pending examination, which would be sure to expose the fraud. Mr. Campbell and those who acted with him must have had a very poor opinion of the discern ment and honesty of the " fourth estate," and it is to be hoped that the lesson he received will neither be lost upon him nor the company and its officials. On our arrival at Portland, about ten a.m., on Saturday, we had to encounter the most melancholy part of our journey. The old town of Weymouth was prepared to receive us with all honour, and Many messengers of good-will came off in excur sion boats to give us a cordial greeting. Their cheers were given, and not returned ; their bands played inspiriting tunes, and we made no sign, un til at last the intelligence oozed out that some great calamity had occurred on board. From this moment a dead silence prevailed ; and no prying questions were even asked of the passengers as they were taken on shore in the expectant pleasure-boats. As the ship was not a legal sailing vessel, deli vered by the contractor to the company and cap tain, until her arrival at Ptrtland, the loss will fall upon Mr. Scott Russell. (From the Daily News.) A foolish passenger had raised a cry of " the baits," and assisted by some of the sailors, was madly attempting to let them down. In one moment all would have been lost, for the rush to the , boats would have been universal, and hundreds would have been drowned, whilst the noble ship would have been left to certain destruction. But the voice of the captain was heard like a trumpet, calling out " Men to your duty, officers to your posts, give me a rope, and let six men follow me." The effect of this short address was electric. In an instant he had slid down the rope into the saloon, followed by his brave boatswain Hawkins, and six volunteers were not long wanted for the forlorn hope. One after another he dashed open the gilded panels, but the splendid apartments had, strange to say, only two inhabitants, his own little daughter Edith, and her pet dog. It was the reward of his gallantry, that his own child should be thus the one to be so providentially saved. Mr. Atkinson, the pilot, a little unpretending man, stood at his post on the bridge, and, undismayed by the loud explosion, the descending fragments, the suffocating chasm, or the yawning gulf immediately beneath him, and in the firm conviction that all the boilers would go in suc cession, continued to direct the movements of the ship as calmly QS if he were only turning her into a harbour. Some frightened fool shouted, " Atkinson, come down and save yourself," but the gallant veteran replied with grave noncha lance, " I'm no engineer, I'm a pilot, I've charge of the ship, and I'll stick to her." The officer, Mr. Sewell, who held the wheel under Mr. Atkinson's di rections, was equally self-possessed. I saw his tall figure through the smoke working and turning the wheel with the regularity of clockwork. Of course her speed had been slackened, and all strain had been taken off the paddle engines, but the screw worked wonders, and its engineer, including Mr. Blake, who had been deputed by Messrs. Bolton and Watt to superintend the trial trip , declared that with it oarlonteen d he was ays p t r o ep A ar m ed er t i o ca c . arry y 2e w sh il i l p in eightthink exaggerate, when I say that the first glance re minded me most forcibly of the ruins of Covent , garden theatre a few hours after the great fire. Mr. Russell positively,the s efitofish and lam bound to give statements, that this thatat. ran nge he arrangement e t v e a forced ds against upon it, h andim t b l y a t il t r . wawas Brunel; only in obedience to the stringent conditions of his con tract that he adopted it. This account was also confirmed to me by several disinterested witnesses. Every great operation had in fact been provided for, and it was the neglect of only one little "tap," no bigger than a coat button, that so nearly sent the Great Eastern to the bottom. COMMENCEMENT OF THE HUNTING SEASON.— The winter of the huntsman's discontent is fast becoming glorious to every pack in the Unit ed Kingdom. Litters of cubs are being divided, and their ranks thinned, nearly every morning. It affords us great satisfaction to make known the fact that a belief i s growing in high quarters of the possibility of the co-existence of foxes and pheasants. We trust the examp le of non-destroying may be universally following. Accounts from all quarters are most cheering. —The Field. The Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, M.P., will visit i‘fanchester during the last week of October. He has promised to address the members and friends of the Insti tutional Association of Lancashire and Cheshire, embracing 110 mechanics' institutions, and to distribute the prizes and certificates to the successful candidates at the late exami nation held at the Manchester and Blackburn centres of the Association. It is fifteen years since the ex-leader of the Commons addressed a public assembly in Manchester. Manchester Guardian. Viscount Palmerston opened the sporting season at Broadlands, on Wednesday, by going out partridge shooting with a new double-barrelled gun, and pursuing the game with an eagerness and a gusto which no one could thoroughly appreciate, or even believe, without seeing.
