The committee appointed by the Court of Common Council to carry out the instructions in the erection of this edifice having completed their labours, and all necessary arrangements having been made by the magistrates for immediate occupation, the two bodies proceeded on Tuesday to the prison, where the com mittee, head e d b y M r. Ald erman Wi re , th e i r chair man,atildri attended by the City architect, received the Lord Mayor, with Aldermen Humphrey, Musgrove, Sidney, Finnic, and Cubitt, and Messrs. Carter and Croll, the sheriffs, at the entrance. Having viewed the several parts of the building, the whole of the party assembled in the magistrates' room, the Lord Mayor in the chair, and the outer gate having been locked, Alderman Wire presented the key to his Lordship, in token of delivering up the possession of the prison from the building committee to the City Magistrates, and ie doing so expressed his earnest hope that while the prison would be found well adapted for the pu nishment of evildoers, it would also, by the judicious and humane treatment, and the moral and scriptural stc'jon which the prisoners would rece i ve, prove iannir:acalculable blessing in produci e n o gap :nrinavneerny t re formation, so that as a happy nseco ce many would leave its walls to become honourable and useful The m L e o m az. ber uk sof x o s z o : on iety.receiving the key, handed it to Lieutenant Wright, appointed governor pro fern., I and expressed the satisfaction of the members of the Court of Aldermen meeting the committee upon the completion of their arduous labours in the erec tion of so spacious and suitable a building, highly creditable as it was to the taste and talent of their • excellent architect, Mr. Bunning. His Lordship fully sympathised with the chairman in the senti meats expressed by that gentleman, and trusted teat the great ends desired would be most fully realised. On the motion of Mr. ANDERTON, seconded by Mr. Low, the unanimous thanks of the committee were passed to Mr. Alderman Wire . for his unwearied and invaluable services as chairman through the whole period of the undertaking ; in acknowledging which the Alderman stated that ho was under vast obliga tions to the members of the Court of Aldermen — amongst whom there had been throughout the most perfect co-operation. After some remarks from Alderman SIDNEY, in fa vour of the solitary system, in reply to some observa tions from Mr. Low, who entertained very opposite opinions, Mr. Deputy HARRISON moved and Mr. Deputy STEVENS seconded votes of thanks to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen ; which compliment the Lord Mayor acknowledged. Mr. ANDERTON proposed and Alderman WIRE se conded a resolution of thanks to Mr. Bunning, in which high testimony was borne to that gentleman's ability in carrying out his elegant design through many difficulties which had presented themselves in the progress of the work. Yesterday a great number of prisoners were re ceived into the New Prison, from Giltspur-street prison. The accommodation afforded in the prison is as follows :—Females, 60 ; juveniles, 61 ; male adults, 283 ; reception cells, 14 ; punishment cells, 18 ; total, 436. THE SUN, FRANCE. We read in the Dibats—" Accounts have been received from Tahiti to the 24th June ; they mention the arrival of the squadron under the command of Captain Page, and his installation as Governor at Papeiti. The Moselle, with the three political pri soners of Lyons, MM. Gent, Ode, and Longomazino, arrived at:Nouka-Hiva on the 2d. Captain Page found at Tai-o-Hai, in Nouka-Hiva, the remnants of the establishment which had been founded there some years since by the French, but which had been abandoned for the last three years. Every thing will therefore have to be done for the accommodation of the above transported men and their families. It will be neces sary to construct a house for each of them, and to secure the proper surveillance over them. During their voyage the convicts kept much aloof from each other, but en one or two occasions their quarrels ren dered the interference of the captain of the Moselle necessary; the remainder of the time they scarcely exchanged a word, and it is probable that the same coolness will continue when they have tahen posses sion of their houses on shore. The country is fine, and the soil admirably rich; the bay forms almost a circle surrounded by high mountains, but which, however, are not inaccessible, as has been long supposed. Captain Page, on arriving at Papeiti, received the direction of affairs from the hands of Commandant Bonard, who has returned to France by the Thisbe. At the moment when the new Governor landed, his ship, the Artemise, fired a salute of 15 guns, and another salute of the same number was fired on his entering his residence. Commandant Bonard, his predecessor, was there to receive him, and presented to him the foreign consuls, the civil and military officers, &c. On the same day, the new Governor went to the re sidence of Queen Pomare. Her Majesty received him in la salon, furnished completely in the Euro. peen style ; her husband, and all her family were present. The Governor handed her a letter from the Prince President, a magnificent ring, with the arms of the Prince, and some rich presents for herself and her children. The Queen both understands French and English, but she only speaks her own language; the conversation is therefore carried on by means of an interpreter. Two days afterwards she returned the visit of the Governor, accompanied by her husband. The Queen was dressed in a blouse of black satin, embroidered with coloured silk ; she had a rice straw bonnet profusely ornamented with roses, and the other parts of her attire added to the strange appearance of the dress and the bonnet. The King is a tall muscular man of colossal strength; he had a coat of blue velvet, embroidered with gold, white casbmire trowsers with gold bands, a very handsome sabre, white gloves, and red slippers, and he had on his head an enormous drum-major's cap surmounted by a feather, which rivalled in height the cocoa-nut trees round the house. The persons who accompanied the Queen were far from being so well dressed ; many of them only wore a garment indis pensable for decency sake. The Queen has a daughter about 16 years of age, who is pretty and intelligent." WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIg TY. THE LATE DISFRANCEIISINGDECISION Owing to the recent extraordinary decisions of Mr. Shad well, the revising teirrister for tviii ilesex, whereby great numbers of the Freehold L Society voters have been di-frauchis , d, the members of these bodies have determined on :eking steps with I view to re dress the injury done them. A public meeting took place in connexion with the Westminster Society at the School-rooms, New Church-street, Paddington, at which the subject was mooted. Thomas Pitts, Esq., presided, and stated that, owing to the great increase in the members of the society, it would be necessary , for those who had hitherto transmitted their subscrip tions through him to appoint an agent for that purpose. Mr. GEORGE HUGGETT, the secretary, gave a de tailed explanation of the principles and operations of the society, and stated the progress it had made. In the course of three years five estates had been pur chased, containing in all about 72 acres ; the total receipts from the establishment of the society had been 15,6101. On each estate, the shares entitled thereto had risen to a considerable premium on allot ment. In reference to the recent decision of Mr. Shad well, declaring that a plot of land did not confer the franchise, unless it had cost 501., it was to be re gretted that this being a question of fact, and not of law, there was no appeal from his decision to the Court of Common Pleas; but it was hoped that something more effectual would be done. It was astonishing that the Learned Gentleman should display such igno rance of the value of property as to adopt the arbi• trary rule which he had laid down, and which was ridiculous in the eyes of practical men. Every one knew how rapidly property increased in value in the neighbourhood of London, and that without any re ference to the price originally paid for it. He knew a gentleman who, fourteen years ago, bad bought a small freehold by auction for 20/. ; within six months of the purchase it was let for 141. a year, and had been so let ever since. In the last year this society had bought nine acres of land at Kilburn at 5401. per acre. Afew months after they wished to extend their purchase, and add four or five acres of the adjoining land of pre cisely the same value, but so greatly had the value of the property increased in that short interval that the price then demanded was 1,0001. per acre. Belgrave square, a few years ago, was let to a market gardener, and the value of the land was then about 300/. an acre ; now it was not short of 30,0001. On the East Moulsey estate of that society, an allotment which had cost 231. 103. had been let for ever on a chief-rent of 703. a year; and there was no doubt, if that chief rent was put up at Garraway's to-morrow, it would fetch 100/.—(Hear, hear.) He suggested that the extraordinary course pursued by Mr. Shad well should be set forth in a memorial to the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, with whom the appointment of the revising barristers rested, requesting his Lordship to discontinue the appointment of the Learned Gen tleman. A resolution for carrying out the recommendation of the chairman was proposed and agreed to, and at the close of the proceedings a number of new mem bers were enrolled. WRECK OF A SCHOONER OFF BRIGHTON. On Monday evening our mariners observed a soli tary vessel tossing about in the offing. The weather was very rough at the time, the wind blew from the south-west, the sea rode mountains high, and . a heavy rain was falling. It was difficult to discern the nature of the ship thus exposed to the fury of the elements; but it was evident that she was driving before the wind, apparently beyond control, and as if, to adopt: the technical phrase ology of one of the spectators, " s he would neither wear nor stay, scud nor lay to ." As the evening came on, either by some effort tr ade on board, or by reason of the shifting of the wind, the strange craft shifted her course, and was seen making for our shore. As she drew nearer it was seen that she was a schooner of some 150 tons burden, and that her sails were all torn, and hanging in tatters from her masts. The direction she was now taking brought her off Blackrook, and as she drove swiftly in she soon got among the rocks, and being dashed abou t by wind and wave, sustained such injuries that it was evident she must soon become a wreck. Under these circumstances the Coast Guardsmen at the Blackrook station bestirred themselves to render what assistance they might. Lieutenant Pratt had the rocket ap paratus got ready with a view of throwing out a rope to the crew; but while that was preparing, the vessel was driven still nearer to the shore, and it was thought practicable to send out a boat. A small life-boat was accordingly dispatched with five hands to work her ; and, though the state of the sea ren dered the attempt perilous, the crew succeeded in reaching the ill-fated vessel. She proved to be the Honoria of Dover, the property of Mr. S. Lathan, banker of that town, and on her way from Caen to London, with a cargo of stone. There was on board the captain, whose name is Coburg, and three seamen. The aft-part of the vessel was stove in, ani the bull was otherwise injured ; the cabin, containing the clothes and other property of the crew, was entirely carried away. The sufferers, who were much ex hausted by their endeavours t o save t h e s hi p , were taken into the life-boat and b roug ht sa f e l y ashore, w h e re comfortable quarters wore provided for them in the workhouse. The vessel was, of course, abandoned, and it was expected that it wou ld go t o p i eces i n t h e night ; but she drifted still further to the shore, and the battered hull was to be seen on the rocks all day yes terday in much the same condition as when the crew left her. The c a p tain 's explanation of the cause of the wreck is, that when out at sea the wind split his s a il s into ribands, an d being unable to make way ag a i ns t the wind he was obliged to give up his control o f th e borne a t N en ship and drift with her. But for the slight chang e i n h In, it ewould,whay.—Brighton Guardian. in all pr o b s . ht ile direction i ty ha v i have gone t was ashore SEABORNE MAILS.

The candidates for admission were examined in Greek and Latin classics, the historical Scriptures in English, Bishop Nicholson's Exposition of the Church Catechism, and other works. The course of instruction in this de partment is to embrace the evidences of natural and re vealed religion, the Holy Scriptures in the original lan guages, the Thirty-nine Articles, the Book of Common Prayer, ecclesiastical history ancient and .modern, the theory and practice of, the pastoral :office, including the reading of the Liturgy and the composition and de livery of sermons. Measures are also taken for pro viding the students with the opportunity of acting as district visitors under the parochial clergy, as also for enabling them to become practically acquainted with the beat methods of conducting schools. The Ray. Alexander M.‘Caul, D.D., rector of St. Magnus the Martyr, London-bridge; the Rev. Frede rick Denison Maurice, M.A., chaplain of Lincoln's Inn; and the Rev.

CHEAPNESS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY.- Hitherto large sums have been charged for engrossing and cc dying bills filed in the Court of Chancery, in lieu of which printed bills are to be delivered, and by one of the new rules a considerable reduction is effected. It is ordered that " the payment to be made by the defendant to the plaintiff for printed copies of the bill or claim shall be at the rate of one halfpenny per folio." ITALY. In the sitting of the 29th ult. of the Royal Court at Florence, Guerrazzi's examination was continued and an opportunity offered him of explaining his plan respecting the restoration of the monarchy in Tus cany. He first contended that the convocation of a Tuscan Assembly elected by universal suffrage, was a necessary consequence of the Grand Duke's de parture ; so that the abolition of the Chambers by the Provisional Government was, in fact, a mere matter of form, since it was a right on account of the absence of the Sovereign. In support of this view he pointed to the proceedings of the British Parliament at the time when James 11. left the throne vacant. The Provisional Government felt, he said, the necessity of giving Tuscany a stable form of government. Now as the faction then in power declared that it acknowledged no other authority save that which emanated from the people, there was no choice but to have recourse to universal suffrage, to which the Grand Duke owed the extension of his territory by the aggregation of the provinces of Massa, Carrara, Lunigiana, and Garfagnana. He (Guerrazzi) therefore thought it could not be displeasing to the Grand Duke to return to his throne by the unanimous vote of his subjects, as that would have been au evident proof of true attachment to his person and dynasty. The elections therefore took place simultaneously for the Tuscan Legislative Assembly and for the Italian Constituent Assembly, the former of which was to conduct the ordnary business of the country, and the latter was to meet at Rome, and decide upon the form of government. By these concessions he (Guerrazzi) hoped to gain time, and succeed in overreaching the dominant party. But the impatience of the republicans defeated his plans. On the 18th of February, a tumultuous crowd, headed by Joseph Mazzini, poured into the Piazva del Gran Duca, and loudly called for the pro clamation of the Republic. Finding himself nearly driven to the last extremity, he (Guerrazzi) had re course to a stratagem, and answered that, since the Tuscan people wanted the Republic, they must be prepared to support it, and that, consequently, if two thousand armed men appeared on the morrow ready to fight for the Republic, it should then be proclaimed. It being impossible to fulfil this condition, and no 2,000 men having made their appearance, the Republic was not proclaimed. But now he (Guerrazzi) had lost the confidence of the Republicans ; he therefore quitted Flo rence; on his return he found that Montanelli had prepared a preliminary agreement with M. Maestri, an Envoy from Rome, for the unification of the Roman States with Tuscany. He (Guerrazzi) re fused to join in this plan. After the opening of the Tuscan Assembly, he (Guerrazzi) took particular care to avoid any explanations which might bind him for the future, and prevent him from exe cuting his plan for the restoration of a onstitutional Monarchy, as soon as a favour b'e opportunity should offer. Taking advantage of a short absence of Montanelli and Mazzini from Florence, he (Guerrazzi), by a decree of the 6th of March, transformed the Legislative Assembly of Tus cany into a Constituent one, which was almost entirely composed of Tuscans. The republicans were furious at this decree, the drift of which could not escape them. Montanelli was highly displeased at it, because it was a mortal blow to the Italian Constituent Assembly. But a moment arrived after the bet le of Novara, when he (Guerrazzi) could ex plain his views notviewsatpopMrovoe of, butntanelli, quitted Florencewhichthelatter, and even d Tuscany.

LONDON, EVENING, OCTOBER 8 . 1852, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct. 7. MUSIC AND DANCING LICENCES. The court sar. nt Cierkenwell, for the pur pose of renewing end granting licences for public music end eancing, under the Act 25th Geo. 11., cw 36. Mr. Po pall pre&id , d, supported by several magis trates of the county. The court was crowded by the various applicants, but the attendance of magistrates was not so nume- rous as usual. There were 48 applications for the renewal of the licences for music, and 57 for music and dancing. In addition to these there were 42 new applications for music, and 12 for music and dancing. APPLICATIONS FOR NEW LICENCES. Mary Adkins applied for a licence for music and dancing, for the Royal Oak, Margaret-street, .flack• ney-fields. Mr. METCALF supported the application, and urged that it was desirable that it should be granted, as a house having a licence of the kind now sought was required in the neighbourhood. The COURT refused to grant the licence, on the ground that it was not desirable to grant the double licence to a public-house except under peculir cir cumstances, of which there was in this case, in the opinion of the Court, an absence. Mr. METCALF then said his client would be con- tent with a licence for music only. The CHAIRMAN said it would be a most incon venient precedent to adopt that course, after the original application had been finally disposed of. The Court had refused the licence, and the applicant, by not making an election, had abided the result. A licence for music and dancing for Highbury Barn Tavern was granted without opposition, as was a similar licence to the Gate House Tavern, Highgate. The following parties, seeing the result in Mrs. Adkins's case, changed their applications for music only, which were granted, viz. :—Henry Hellyer Miller, the Eagle Tavern, High-road, Edmonton ; William Wicks, the Jolly Angler's Tavern, Lea-bridge ; Joseph Thomas Winter, the Hoop and Grapes, No. 112, Saint George's-street; Henry Barr, the Hand and Flower, Sands-end, King's-road, Fulham ; John Jones, the Three Jolly Gardeners, Rochester-row, Westminster; Benjamin Watts, the Admiral Keppel, in the Fulham-road. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of the day, in reply to an observation from one of the members of the bench, in reference to the shortness of the distance between two licensed houses, said the principle upon which the Court wished to act was, that music licences should not be a monopoly in the hands of a few, but granted so freely that great numbers of persons would not congregate together at some particular house. It was from such assemblages, there could be no doubt, that the evils which had been complained of arose, and therefore by granting these licences freely, the Court would be avoiding those evils by removing the causes. Under these circumstances, the Court would not take as a valid objection to an application the fact that another licensed house was within a short distance of the house sought to be licensed. The Court would in all cases consider the size of the room in which the musical entertainments were to be given, and the character of the house, and, with regard to public-houses, it was indispensable that the appli cant should be the holder of the licence of the house, so that the Court might have a guarantee for proper usage of the musical licence. Where the public ac commodation required the licensing of a particular house the Court would always grant a licence for that house, under the conditions he bad mentioned. Mr. PARRY said it was with very great pleasure that he heard the views of the Court so liberally ex pressed by the chairman. The liberality evinced by the bench last year in granting these licences had produced none other than the most beneficial results —not a single complaint had been made by the police of any of the houses the magistracy entrusted with a licence, and be had no doubt the course now taken would give general satisfaction. The following original applications for licences for music only were granted :—Thomas Wells, Pegasus Tavern, Green-lanes ; James Deacon, Sir Hugh Myd dleton, Clerken well ; James Toomer, the Manor House, Green-lanes, Stoke Newington ; Samuel Shannon, New Crown, Ball's-pond; William Gard ner, Duke's Head, Whitechapel ; John Gerhold, Prince of Orange, Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel ; Joseph Wade, Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell-green ; Henry Brading, Sir Robert Peel, Shoreditch ; Charles Clarke, Eight Bells, Ironmonger row ; James Ren nell, Rose and Crown, Knightsbridge ; Henry Geerge Oliver, White Hart, Drury-lane ; John Cole, Brownlow Arms Tavern, Brownlow-street, Drury lane ; William Wetherby, Rising Sun, Knights bridge ; Edmund Gilbert, the Lord Nelson, Road side, Whitechopel; John Robert Bowen, the Seven Stars, Brick-street; John Farrington ?eters, the Old Will Somers, Crispin-street; George John Gil der, the College Arms, Goulden-place ; Edwin Charles White, the Prince Albert, York-street, Kingsland road ; Thomas Lee, the Beckford's Head, No. 38 Old street; Joseph Mincher Pugh, the George, No. 108, Old-street ; Luke James Marshall, the Sir John Fal staff, No. 126, Old-street; William Smith, the Dol phin, No. 134, Old-street ; George Win. White, the Crown, No 154, Whitecross-street ; Charles Abbott, the Rose and Crown, No. 20, Colville-place, St. Pan cras; George Kirby, the Lamb Tavern, Kingsland road ; William Webb, the Ship Tavern, Camden street ; Nathan Mare, the Rising Sun , at the corner of the New-road and Charlton-street, Somers Town ; William Michael Davis, the Sportsman Tavern, at the corner of Oakley-crescent, City-road ; John Gibson, the Perseverance, Southgate-road, Ball's Pond; David Smith, the Lord Nelson Tavern, Duke's-row, New road; Robert Bragg, the Britannia Tavern, Britaonie row ; William Thomas Hamilton, the Blockmaker's Arms Tavern, No. 1, Ashley-crescent ; Thomas Franklin, the Woodman, No. 11, Doyley-street, Sloane-street; George Slater, the Blue Anchor, No. 92, York-street ; Daniel Sebbon Baker, jun., Baker's Rooms, No. 107, Upper-street; William Tyler, the New Clown, No. 62, St. John-street-road. THE LATE BALLOON ASCENTS AT CREMORNE , GARDENS.—When the case of Mr. T. B. Simpson was called on in order, that gentleman did not answer, and consequently it was ordered to remain till the list was gone through entirely. When called on again, Mr. Simpson answered, and in the meantime he had instructed Mr. Parry to support his application. Being a transfer case, it was necessary to prove the service of the usual notices in compliance with the standing orders of the Court, which require that notices of all transfers and new applications shall be served before a given day, the 20th of September, on the churchwardens, overseers, clerk of petty sessions, clerk of the peace, and posted on the premises and on the door of the nearest police-station. In Mr. Simp son's case the proof of service was complete in every respect, save that of the station-house. It was shown that the notice was served at the station-house on the 18 th, and Mr. Simpson himself deposed to his having seen it posted outside subsequently, but he could not say th a t he saw it within the two succeeding days, though he could say that he saw it within a few days. As no person wa s present who could pr ove th a t t h e notice was posted before the 20th, the chairman sug gested that Mr. Simpson should forthwith procure the attendance of some one from the station-house who knew that fact, and accordingly Mr. Simpson left for the purpose of complying with the magis trate's suggestion. When the other business had been gone through Mr. Simpson had not made his appearance, but the subject was resumed. Mr. PARRY hoped the Court would not act without considering the immense interest Mr. Simpson had at stake, for the withholding of his licence would be almost his ruin. The CHAIRMAN said it was the standing orders of the Court, and not the Act of Parliament, that re quired the proof which in this case was absent, and those orders could, if the Court pleased, be suspended. Mr. PARRY was very thankful for that suggestion. Captain CARPENTER thought the proof before the Court sufficient. The notice was served on a police officer at the station-house, and was afterwards seen posted. What more was required ? An Hon. MAGISTRATE said he could not but ad mire Mr. Simpson for the manner in which be bad acted. He had persisted, like a truly consc ientiou,e, man, in saying "a few days," when " two da y s" would have removed all difficulty ; and there was great interest at stake, as the Learned Counsel had said. On the motion of Mr. TURNER, the standing orders were suspended. Mr. liemsneAn wished to know if this were not the case of C remo rne Gardens, and if so , why,,t e application was put in the list as " the Stadium Mr. PARR Y sa id ce rtainly it was the case o f Cre morne, though called " the Stadium ;" t h a t was name originally i n the lease, and be understood it was a the a necessary to adhere to that name. The licence ways had been granted for the Stadium, but it was well known ttiat it was for Cremorne. Mr. KEMSREAD said the case was at last properly before the Ccurt. It was Cremorne, not the Sta dium, and consequently bore a very different aspect. The CHAIRMAN said a place ought to be called by the name by which it was most commonly known. Mr. PARRY said no doubt the proper way wou ld be to describe it ae " The Stadium, otherwise ere morne." Mr. KEMSHEAD said he had a word or two to say on Cremorne. The question before them, and which they had to decide was, in what way they, as the licensing m agistrates, whose duty was to protect the public, were to expect these gardens to be con ducted for the future. They, the magistrates, were the only parties who could ask that question, and after what had taken place lately, it was important for the public that it should he now decided. Mr. PARRY said the only comp l a i n t s ever made against Mr. Simpson during the whole of the time that he had had the Albion Hotel, the Adelaide Gal lery, and Crown:le i were the two preferred recently at the instigation of the Society for the Prevention looked into the window of Mrs. Ross's house, and saw of Cruelty to Animals; one 'or hip having allowed a Christie walking about with a candle in his hand a nd pony to he taken u with a balloon, and the other, Mrs. Ross 13• L before the fireplace. fie knocked at that he had been guilty of cruelty by suffering a tho door, when Chris& answered it, having, however, . bullock to be taken up in the like way.

They also asked him'. whit; Simpson immediately, in both instances, pledged his that groaning was," and be replied that the little boy word that nothing of the kind should occur again ; it had a " sair belly." Atter leaving the barn he again was at once discontinued. Mr. Si m p so n had honour- returned to the house. M R o bb ie a nd th e t o ll-k ee per ably kept his word ; and he (Mr. P ar ry) had before watched, and saw him leave th e h ouse w i t h a b un dl e in that court, on Mr. Simpson's behalf, to sa y the same his arm.

Mr. KEMSHEAD mentioned the cave of a person, who, he said, a year or two ego, obtained a music and dancing licence. They were not divided, the land lord solemnly pledging himself that it should be used for music only ; yet directly after, within a week, he had placards out announcing dancing, as if no promise had been given. Mr. PARRY—But you grant ed that person a licence without comment the next year. The CHAIRMAN said, independently of the question of cruelty or no cruelty, the Bench thought such ex hibitions as those alluded to led to vicious tastes, and bad generally a vitiating effect, and if they were continued in future the licence would be withheld. Apart from the question of cruelty, it must be dis tinctly understood that such exhibitions were to be discontinued. Mr. Simpson must not allow beasts to be tied to balloons and carried away into the air. The magistrates thought such proceedings detrimen tal to the public, and the licence would only be granted on the express understanding that they should not be continued, and that if they were the licence would be refused. Mr. PARRY—But you do not mean to prohibit ballooning, do you ? The CHAIRMAN—BaIIoons are not animals, are they ?—oh, no, we only allude to the ascents of animals. Mr. PARRY—The four-legged animals you mean, I presume ?—(A laugh.) You will allow men to go up with balloons ?—(A laugh.) Mr. KEMSHEAD said that, of course, they did not interfere with. Men might go up in balloons ; or, like the man at Islington the other day, throw him self about on a poll underneath one—but even that was objectionable. Mr. PAERY then passed a high compliment to the performers on the trapeze for their skill and daring. The CLIAIRMAN—The licence is granted, on the positive understanding that the ascents of animals i❑ balloons shall not be repeated. Mr. PARRY—Oh, certainly not, sir. Mr. KEMSHEAD—Nor under them, either, Mr. Parry. Mr. PARRY—There will be nothing of the sort, I assure you. It has been discontinued, and will not be repeated. The other licences for music and dancing, and for music only, were then granted, and the Court ad journed.

Leeds is gaining an unenviable notoriety for the frequency and reckless character:, of garotte robbe ries in its vicinity. Our columns have from time to time recorded these outrages as they have occurred ; and we have now another desperate attack upon a Leeds merchant to report, and for which two well known desperadoes have been sent to York-castle. On Wednesday last, at the Leeds Court-house, two fellows were placed in the dock charged with an as sault upon Mr. Joseph Hartley, a young man, a mer chant, in North-street. The names of the prisoners are John Lees and William Williamson—the first a tall pockmarked man, and the other considerably less in stature. Both prisoners resided at Hunslet-hall. The scene of the outrage was Hunslet-moor, a lonely place, the neighbourhood of which is frequently the r , sort of desperate characters. We will let Mr. llartley tell in his own words the particulars of his unfortunate adventure : Mr. Hartley, who had got fearfully mauled about the head and body, said, on Saturday night I and my brother left the Leeds Archery Club about twelve o'clock, and walked in company to my father's house in North-street, and I there left my brother and pro ceeded alone to Hunslet Carr. I went along the ecialw .ggon way from Leeds to Hunslet, and as I went through the gates which lead to Hunslet-moor, I was passed by two men who had followed me, and that was the first time I bad noticed them. On going through the turnstile one of the two men rudely pushed before me, and we walked nearly together through the turnstile, and as he passed me, in cense quence of the push he gave me, I looked into his face, and noticed very distinctly that his face was pock - marked. The lesser man had a dark shooting-coat on and a cap. They walked about fifteen yards before me in the same direction, but they w slackened hen I wasth their reprising atnhde them, one overtook ofth e t t n he coon and my neck, his beinglegstrahr;ew his arms time. roundHe twisted myback at the at round miee and tried to force me on my and fac a e ls , while a f inal; avouredo m or e m o e n n m s y eiz f e ti d ee b . ot l h t m h y en a e r n m d . e , on my back, in order t o crush the man behind h me, t s o t r t ohvr throw w t om myself t h h u e t n j r w a t a h e er d r i i o v o e s a e d f 'o h r i w s a h r o d l e d . , and pressed me at th e t urnst il e then reuthsmhe e a d n i naat i n n in wy t heo throat, rheaadr and put his hands there and on my chest, and forced me against the man who was at my back on the ground. While this was doing I got my right side turned to the man who was on my back and I saw his face distinctly. He grasped me on the throat, and I was up and down several times struggling with them. I never got my throat during the tussle libe rated from his grasp. While I was contending with one man the other kicked me twice on the face and once on the stomach. The tall man, who had hold of me by the throat, said to the other prisoner, " Stick to him, Bill," and repeated it, saying " Stick to him with thy teeth," and then the man called " Bill" got hold of my left hand with his mouth, and bit it, but I succeeded withdrawing it. Before this my trousers were torn entirely in pieces in their attempts to get at my pockets. The man called Bill—the little one— then tried to get at my coat pocket, in which there were my purse and a cigar-case, but I got hold of his arm so that he did not succeed in searching this pocket. Then in the after struggle I got partly on my knees again —the tall man still retaining his hold of my throat. Bill then called out, " D—m him how he kicks," and then they got on my knees. I per ceived a gas light on the other side of the railway, and I cried out, " Murder," and then the man who had hold of my throat tightened his grasp very much, so that I almost became insensible ; and the next thing I remember was that I was set free, and the men ran away. I ran after them , but s li pp ed a nd :ell. At the same time I heard one of them shout out " Has thou got it." I saw two persons come towards me, named R o binson and Smith , w ho j oin ed i n pursuit, the two men succeeded in getting out of sight. I found myself very much injured—my trousers completely torn off, my coat spoilt, my eyeglass pulled off my neck u mbrella, spectacles, and hat were gone, and neckerchief unloosed, my shirt torn and bloody, and my waistcoat torn. My face was bruised head beaten severely, and my throat bl ac k badly, my my swollen. I was taken to the house of Mr. Smith, w b e re I obtained a pair of trowsers, and he accome pa nied me to Hunslet Carr.

A shocking double murder was committed at Kiity br-wster, about a mile north of Aberdeen, on Mi nday night. Tee victims were a widow woman named Ross and her grandchild, a little boy about five years a age. The murderer is it man named George Christie, formerly a private soldier in the service of the East India Com pany, from whom be at ono time enjoyed a pension, which was taken from him on his being convicted of stewing s ilver plate from Murth - bouse , about three miles west of Aberdeen, on Deeside. Christie had been em ployed ,brashing bere in a barn adjoining Mrs. Ross's house for a few days previously, and ne, as will as those working along with him, had been in the habit of getting from Mrs. Ross water to cook their meals. On Satur day Mrs. Ross had expressed in his hearing her inten tion of selling two pigs; she did sell them, and a wiiti to rob her of the proceeds is the only motive that can at present be conceived to account for the brutal deeciii Between eight and nine o'clock Christie left Aberdeen, saying to an acquaintance that he bad forgotten son.c. thing at Kittybrewster. Peter M'Robbie, a gardener, whose bere he had been thrashing, came down soon after to look into the barn, and not finding Chriatie there be PRICES OF BUTTER. CANT.
