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 mitted, headed by Mr. Alderman Wire, their chair man, and 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 deliveri ng up t h e possession of the prison from the building co mm itt ee to the Ci ty Magistrates, and in doing so expressed hi s earnest h ope th a t while the prison would be found we ll a d apte d f or 4 .Y. , pu nishment of evildoers, it would also, by the judicious and humane treatment, and the moral and scr.-.2:ural instruction which the prisoners would receive, prove an incalculable blessing in producing a p ermanen t reformation, so that as a happy consequence very many would leave its walla to become honourable and useful members of society. The LORD MA!oB, on receiving the key, handed LONDON, it to Lieutenant Wright, appointed governor pro fem , and expressed the satisfaction of the members of the Court of Aldermen at 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 talAnt of their excellent architect, Mr. Bunning. Hid Lordship fully sympathised w:' l the chairman in the senti ments expressed by gentleman, and crusted that 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 diffizulties 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 ii as follows :—Females, 60 ; juveniles, 61 ; male adults, 283 ; reception cells, 14 ; punishment cells, 18 ; total, 436. FRAN CE. We read in the Debats—" 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• Hive on the 2d. Captain Page found at Tel o-Hai, in Nouka-Hive, 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. Everything 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 on 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, tied 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 Thisl.L At the momee, when the new Governor landeo, le's ship, the Artecnise, fired a salute of 15 guns, an 1 another salute of the same number was fired 13 entering i. residence. Commandant Bonarti, pis 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 Pomar6. Her Majesty received him in It salon, furnished completely in the Euro pean 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 cashmire 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." ITALY. In the sitting of the 29th ult. of the Royal Court at Florence, Guerra zzi'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, be 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, Lunigians, 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 an 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 tho country, and the latter was to meet at Rome, and decide upon the f, of govern., nit. By these concessions he (6-uerrazzi) hoped to gain time, and succeed in overreaching the dominant party. But the impatience of the republicans defeated his plans. On the 18:h of February, a tumultuous crowd, headed by Joseph Mazzini, poured into the Piazva del Gran Dues, 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 o f 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 battle of Novara, when he (Guerrazzi) could ex plain his views to Me ntanelblui,twqhuiicthtedtheFllaotrteenrc,e andhow ever, did not approve of, even Tuscany. An unforeseen circumstance has tened the crisis, and deprived him (Guerrazzi) of the merit of restoring the constitutional throne in Tus cany. After these statements, the sitting was sus pended. PERSIA. Letters from Tauris of the 26th August bring the news wws was sf hunting, ting attemptfo four ro men approachedassassinate the Shah . the Wh i le monarch, l under pretence of presenting a petition, which he re fused to accept. Two of the fellows then seined t he horse's bridle, while their companions fired two double barrelled pistols at the Shah, who, although wounded in the thi g h an d mou th, was s till a bl e t o quit his saddle, and keep off his assailants until his suite came up. Two of the a ss ass i ns we r e literally hewn to pieces ; the others, who were taken alive, de clared that they h a d no accomp li ces , b ut th at belong ing to the Babis, they had determined to avenge the death of their chief by murdering the Shah. Dr. Cloquet has extracted two of th e b u ll e t s , b u t has not succeeded with a third. I* 13 added that the Shah is not supposed to be in dangr. The ch o lera is making t e rrible ravages in Persia. We are glad to bear that the youthful Lord Stanhope (son of the Earl of Chesterfield), who is a t p resen t quar tered with his regiment in the Regent's-park barracks, and has been confined to his room for a considerable time is consequence of having sprained his knee, sso far recovered as to be enabled to dine at mess, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8 1552, WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. THE LATE DISFRANCHISING DECISION. Owing to the recent extraordinary decisions of Mr. Shadwell, the revising barrister for Middlesex, whereby great numbers of the Freehold Land Society voters have been disfranchised, the members of these bodies have determined on taking steps with a 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 FIUGGETT, 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. Shadwell, 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. Afe w 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 bad the value of the property increased in that short interval that the price then demanded was 1,000/. per acre. Belgrave square, a few years ago, was let to a market gardener, and the value of the land was then about 3001. an acre ; now it was not short of 30,0001. On the East Moulsey estate of that society, an allotment which bad 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 100l.—(Hear, hear.) He suggested that the extraordinary course pursued by Mr. Shadwell 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. Oa 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 e.s3 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, " she would neither wear nor stay, scud nor lay to." As the evening came on, either by some effort made 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 about 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, and the hull 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 to save the ship, were taken into the life-boat and brought safely ashore, where comfortable quarters were provided for them in the workhouse. The vessel was, of course, abandoned, and it was expected that it would go to pieces in the night; but she drifted still further to the shore, and the battered bull was to be seen on the rocks all day yes terday in much the same condition as when the crew left her. The captain's explanation of the cause of the wreck is, that when out at sea the wind split his sails into ribands, and being unable to make way against the wind he was obliged to give up his control of the ship and drift with her. But for the slight change in the direction it was borne in, it would, in all proba bility, have gone ashore at Newhaven.—Brighton Guardian. SEABORNE MATII.S.

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 best methods of conducting schools. The Rsv. 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 TEN COUNT Or CHANCERY.— Hitherto large sums have been charged for engrossing and copying bills filed in the Court of Chancery, in lieu of which printed bills are to be delivered, and by one of the newt ides a considerable reduction is effected. It is ordered that the payment to he 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," MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct. 7. MUSIC AND DANCING LICENCES. The court sat to-day at Clerkenwell, for the pur pose of renewing and granting licences for public music and dancing, under the Act 25th Geo. 11., cap. 36. Mr. Pownall presided, 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, Hack• 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 had 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, Clerkenwell; 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, Fiehigate-street, Whitechopel ; Joseph Wade, Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell-green ; Henry Brading, Sir Robert Peel, Shoreditch ; Charles Clarke, Eight Bells, Ironmonger .row ; James Ran 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 Peters, 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.loB, Old-street; Luke James Marshall, the Sir John Fal staff, No. 126, Old-street; William Smith, the Dol phin, No. 134, Old-street ; George Wm.

Tan 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, i t was necessary to prove the service of the usual notices in compliance with the standing orders of the Court, w hi c h requ i re th a t notices of all transfers and ne w a p p li ca ti ons s h a ll b e served before given day, the 20th o f S ep t em b er , on the churchwardens, overseers, clerk of petty sessions, clerk of the peace, and posted on the premises and on the door of the n earest p ol ice station. In Mr. Simp son's case the proof of service was complete in every respect, save that of the seaseon-house. It was shown that the notice was served at the station-ho use on th e 18th, and Mr. Simpson himself dep ose d t o hi s h av i ng seen it posted outside subsequently , but he cou ld no t say that he sa w it within the two su ccee di ng d ays , though he could say that he saw it withi n a f ew d ays . As no person wa s present who could p rove t h at t h e notice was posted before the 20th, th e c h a i rman sug gested that Mr., Simpson should fo r th w ith procure the attendance of some one from the station-house who knew that fact, and accordingly Mr. Simpson left for the purpose of com p l ying with the magis trate's suggestion. When the other business had been gone through Mr. Simpson bad 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 rain. The CHAIRMAN said it was the standi ng or d ers o f the Court, and not the Act o f Parliam en t, th a t re quired the proof which n 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 b e f ore th e Court sufficient. The notice was served on a police officer at the station-house, and was after war d s seen posted. What more was required ? An Hon. MAGISTRATE said he could not but ad mire Mr. Simpson for the manner in whi c h h e had acted. He had persisted, like a truly conscientious man, in saying "a few days," when " two days" 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. KEMSHEAD wished to know if this were not the case of Cremorne Gardens, and if so, why the application was put in the list as " the Stadium ?" Mr. PARRY said certainly it was the case of Cre morne, though called " the Stadium ;" that was the name originally in the lease, and he understood it was necessary to adhere to that name. The licence al. ways had been granted for the Stadium, but it was well known that it was for Cremorne. Mr. KEMSHEAD said the case was at last properly before the Court. 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 would be to describe it as " The Stadium, otherwise Cre 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 magistrates, whose duty was to protect the public, were to expect these gardens to be con ducted for the future. They, th e mag i strates, 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 be now decided. Mr. PARRY said the only complaints ever made against Mr. Simpson duri ng th e w h o l e of the time that he had had the Albion Hotel, the Adelaide Gal lery, and Creraorne j were the two preferred recently at the instigation of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; one for his having allowed a pony to be taken up with a balloon, and the other, that he had been guilty of cruelty by suffering a bullock to be taken up in the like way. In the former case Mr. Arnold decided tbat the point was not within the meaning of the Cruelty Act—very properly, as ho would venture to say ; but at Ilford, the magistrates— very properly likewise—decided that in the case of the bullock there was cruelty ;—very properly he said, because the animal no doubt was injured. Mr. Simpson immediately, in both instances, pledged his word that nothing of the kind should occur again ; it was at once discontinued. Mr. Simpson bad honour ably kept his word ; and he (Mr. Parry) had before that court, on Mr. Simpson's behalf, to say the same thing. _ . Mr. KEMSHEAD said there waa a division of opinion —the principal magistrate, Mr. Arnold, had decided that it was not illegal ; the other inagistrstes had de cided the other way. The thing, therefore, came back to this court, which had the control of the Cremorne licence ; and after this he trusted no such exhibitions as the ascent of animals under balloons would be permitted. Mr. PARRY—No ascent of the kind has taken place since Mr. Simpson was summoned, and will not again. Mr. KEMZHEAD mentioned the cm of a person, who, he said, a year or two ago, 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 granted 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 had 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 detrirnen 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 he 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. PARRS—The four-legged animals you mean, I presume ?—(A laugh.) You will allow men to go up with balloons ?—(A laugh.) Mr. E EMSLIEAD sail 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. PARRY then passed a high compliment to the performers on the trapeze for their skill and daring. The CIIAIRM AN—The licence is granted, on the positive understanding that the ascents of animals in balloons shall not be repeated. Mr. PARR:—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. MURDEROUS GAROTTE ATTACK. 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 hare occurred ; and we have now another desperate attack upon a Leeds merchant to report, and fur which two well known desperadoes have been sent to York- castle. On Wodnesday 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 resort of desperate characters. We will let Mr. Hartley 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 eoslw,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 had 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 conse 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 soon slackened their pace, and I overtook them ; and, when I was reprising them, one of them threw his arms round my neck, being at my back at th e time. He twisted his legs round mine and tried to force me on my face, while a man or men seized both my arms, and also strove to force me on my face. I then endeavoured to throw myself on my back, in order to crush the man behind me, but I was driven forwards. The men in the rear then rather loosed his hold, and the man who had pressed me at the turnstile then rushed at my throat, and put his bands there and on my chest, a n d 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 bow 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 mucb, 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 slipped and fell. At the same time I heard one of them shout out " Has thou got it." I saw two persons come towards me, named Robinson and Smith, who joined in pursuit, but 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 ; my umbrella, spectacles, and hat were gone, and neckerchief unloosed, my shirt torn and bloody, and my waistcoat torn. My face was bruised badly, my head beaten severely, and my throat black and swollen. I was taken to the house of Mr. Smith, where I obtained a pair of trowsers, and he accom panied me to Hunslet Carr. A medical man proved that Mr. Hartley's injuries were of a very serious, though not now of a really dangerous nature. Other witnesses spoke to facts corroborative of the prosecutor's statement, and criminative of the pri soners, who in the course of Tuesday wer e ca pt ure d -by the Leeds police, drinking in a public house ; and Lees the prosecutor swore to them most distinctly. He was not quite so positive about Williamson, though he had no moral doubt of his identity. An attempt was made on behalf of the p r i soners t o se t up an alibi but the evidence of the witnesses called for that pur pose brought both Lees and Williamson nearer to the scene of the outrage, a f ew m i nu t es p r ior to its com mission, than the prosecutor's witnesses bad done. Eventually the prisoners were remanded till Thurs day, and on that day were committed for trial at the next Yorkshire assizes. DREADFUL MURDERS near ABERDEEN. A shocking double murder was committed at Ki ty brewster, about a mile north of Aberdeen, on M,nday night. The victims were a widow woman named R uss and her grandchild, a little boy about five years cf age. The murderer is a man named George Christie, formerly a private soldier in the service of the East India Com pany, from whom he at one enjoyed a pensio n , about convicted of three miles stealingwh i h was silvtearke plate n f from ro in him m r t o h n . his hou being west of Aberdeen, on D eeside. Christie had b een em ployed thrashi n g bcre in a barn adjoining Mrs. R oss ' s house for a few day s previously, and he, as wq-ll as those working along with him, had been in the habit of getting from Mrs. Ross water to cook their meals. On Satur day Ross had expressed in his heari n g h e r inten tion of selling two pigs; she did sell them, and a wish to rob her of the pro zeeds is the only motive that can at present be conceivedto acc( unt for the brutal deeds Between eight and nine o'clock Christie left Aberdeen, saying to an acquaintance that ho had forgotten some thing at Kitty brewster. Peter M•Robuie, a gardener, whose bero he had been thrashing, came down soon after to look into the barn, and not finding Christie there he looked into the window cf Mrs. Ross's house, and saw Christie walking about with a candle in his hand and Mrs. Ross lying before the fireplace. fie knocked at the door, when Christie answered it, having, however, first blown cut the candle. Mr. M'Robbie also heard groaning inside, and this, along with the excited appear ance of Christie, aroused his suspicion. He imme diately went to the toll-house which is close by and re turned with the toll keeper. They knocked at the door, end M'Rebbie said ho wanted to see what had been done in the barn. Christie expressed his readiness to go with them and did go. They also asked him " what that groaning was." and he replied that the little boy had a "sair belly." After leaving the barn he again returned to the house. M . Robble and the toll-keeper watched, and saw him leave the house with a bundle in his arm. They forthwith gave information to the police, who succeeded in apprehending the murderer about half-past one on Tuestiey morning, in Lower Denbure, Aberdeen. On bring charged with the murder he denied his g ilt, but afterwards, in the watch-house, he said " this should have been done long ago," whether referring to the murder or his incarceration, it is im possible to say. Blood was found on the leg of his trousers, his shoes, and the wristbands of his shirt. A gold ring and fourteen shillings were found on his person. The bodies of the victims were horribly mangled. The murder is believed to have been committed with an axe. Mrs. Rosa was above middle age, and her murderer is about 51. THE COUN 'FRI MARKETS. BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 7.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets on the 2d wheat firmly maintained the currency of the previous week. Barley unaltered in value, but less in request. Old oats qaite as dear, but new were 61 per quarter lower. No advance could be obtained on beans or peas. During the present week a considerable quantity of foreign wheat has changed hands, at an advance of 6d to Is per quarter, but this improvement has not extended to English. Few transactions are re ported in barley. Oats more in request, and old aro the turn dearer. The high price of beans and peas has les sened the sale. At this day's market there was again a good supply of wheat; new was is per quarter dearer, but this improvement did not extend to old of any de scription. Heavy barley a good deal inquired for, light neglected. Not much doing in oats. B eans an d peat; taken in limited quantities at former prices. GLASGOW, OCT. 6.—Coastwise the supplies consisted of 1,724 quarters of barley and 560 sacks of flour; froze Ireland, of 384 quarters of ba-ley, 3,008 quarters of oats, 575 quarters of beans, and 434 loads of oatmeal; from abroad, vit the Clyde, of 1,200 quarters of wheat, 2,100 quarters of barley, and 1,170 quarters of beans from Egypt; and, vie/ Grangemouth, of 1,484 quarters of wheat, and 42 quarters of peas from the continent• Wheat and flour were in good demand during the week, at a furtner improvement in value, owing to the reduced stock of useful qualities (the arrivals from European ports during the lust five weeks having fallen short of 2,000 quarters), in combination, perhaps, with the large influx of gold, which now apparently begins to tell en the Nalue of the most commodities. All other articles in the trade ruled in favour of the seller. This day's market was well attended by town and country buyer?. Wheat and flour of prime quality were a fair sale, at se advance of 6d to is per bolt, and 6d per barrel; inferior descriptions were less readily disposed of. Barley realised the extreme rates of last week's currency. Oats, oatmeal, beans, and peas, sold a little dearer. Egyptian beans unaltered.
