MARYLEBONE VESTRY On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, Mr. John Williams, of the Regent-circus, in the chair, Mr. NICTIOLAY gave notice that on Saturday next he should bring be - or the vestry a resolution To discuss the propriety of petitioning the House of Commons to take such measures as they may deem fit and expedient to dispense with and relieve the country from the ser vices of the Poor-law Commissioners, whose arbitrary conduct and haughty behaviour, and irregular and un business-like acts, render theta totally unfit for the office they now hold ; while the cruel aid oppressive mandates emanating from them, independently of their being an irnaponsib's body, have at length called the attention and aroused the indignation of as) coln try against them." Mr. G. DANIELL said the subject of the conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners having been mooted, he begged to ask the Hon. Representative for the borough, Sir Benjamin Hall, whether any, and what. steps had been taken by tho Committee of the House of Commons to report to the House with respect to the district asylums. It would be remembered that a committee of that vestry had been appointed, of which he (Mr. Daniell) had the honour to be chairman, to wa'ch the proceedings of the Parliamentary Committee, but they were unable to report upon the matter, as they could not ascertain what the Parliamentary Committee had dote, t . He wisged to know, therefore, of the Hon. Baronet, it the report was printed, and what had been done? Sir B. HALL said that the fact w as , th a t the corn inittee had not yet made their report to the House, atr3 i t was not printed. He had consulted wish his Col league (Sir Charles Napier) on the subject, an-d he had agreed to call the Com m i t t ee t oget h er at rot, early day, for the purpose of reporting, and he (Sir B, YJall) should take the opportunity of laying the whole 'matter before the new Home Secretary (Sir George Grey ), with a view to stop the pror!eedings of tne commissioriers in reference to those district poor-law asylums. — (;ear, hear.) Mr. WILSON hoped that, pending the proceedings with regard to the district asylums, Nicholay would nct persevere in placing on the paper such a motion as he had given notice of. He quite agreed with that gen tleman as to the distaste into which the Poor-law Commi , sion had fallen with the public, but he thought the present was not the time to bring such a wholesale condemnation of their conduct forward. Mr. JOSEPH thought it would not be wise to pledge the vestry at that moment to such a resolution. The Andover Committee were pursuing their inquiry into the conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners steadily and faithfully, and that, coupled with what had been elicited, in the district Asylum Committee, would, he had an doubt, be sufficient to dismiss them from office.—(l7.tear.) Mr. G. DANIELS said, he had been favourer: by the RiAt Hon. Baronet, Sir B. Hall, with nearly all the evidence. He had carefully ana ly se d it an'a h e f oun d i t , proved, that although at first all the opposition to these district asylums was confined to Mary'iebone and another parish, they had now increased to such an extent, that the opposition to this asylum scheme of the Commis sioners amounted i n num b er to no less thy n 1,254,000 persons, assessed upon a rental nearly five millions of money. Mr. NICUOLAY observed that, in giving notice of this motion, he felt that the tims had are.ved when a step should be taken by the country to rid - themselves of that irresponsible body, the Poor-taw Co famnissioners. Several vestrymen suggested thr A the motion should be withdrawn until the report o- a the asylum districts should be brought up ; and ott , ors that that day fort night would be a sood day fr re the discussion of the question. The majority were however. of opinion that such a resolution should be Pe assed as soon as possible ; and ultimately Mr. Nicho'ray persisted in his original resolution of bringing on the motion on Saturday next. The vestry after some r,,,utine business adjourned. NAVAL -INTELLIGENCE. The statement CA* our Cork correspondent, that Vice- Admiral Sir Wirliam Parker, Bart., had declined the offer of the Gco ernment, of the post of first naval lord of the new Beard of Admiralty, is correct. We ar e sorry to hear of this decision of Sir William, for we think the cotratry will be the loser by it. At the same time, no one, can blame the Gallant Admiral for pre ferring the comparatively smooth and quiet employment as Comma nder-in-Chief of the Mediterranean to the ex tremely eesponsible, laborious, harassing, and, in many respects, most unsatisfactory duties, as First Naval Lord of the Admiralty. As Commander-in-Chief of a sta tion his income is above 1,0004 a year; more, strange to sty, than he woun,l receive at the Admiralty, as Commander-in -Chief, not only of all the naval stations, but of all the dockyeeels, too, under the Crown. In the former position, important and responsible as it is, some relaxation can b,e enjoyed at times by delegating the chief authority to '.he flog captain and the indefatigable and always sable secretary ; but at the Admiralty there can be no cessation from continuous lab. ur—even Sunday brings no relief. Our correspondent added— " The genera admiral arrived on Monday in his flag ship, the Hibernia, 104, commanded by Captain Peter Richarde, C.B. He received his orders for coming to Cork From the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Nntt, which ship, from Plymouth, fell in with him on the 9th instant, and accorepunied the Hibernia to this port. Sir William Parker will wait further din patches from, the Govern ment, and will then proven?. to sea in command of the Channel fleet." It ie 'probable that when Sir William Parker communicator his decision to the Admiralty he had notthe receiv,d t l jeese pressi ng i nv i tatious to accept a seat at Adnc . tralty, which is said to have been writ ten him by inoeu than one Cabinet Minister; and it is not improbal - Ate that, upon second consideration ; the gal lant officer wal be induced to alter his mind. Be this as it may., however, dispatches have been sent off to Vice-Aesrairal Sir Charles Adam, in Scotland, offering him the vacant seat in the event of Sir William's ulti mate rilusal. • Captain Houston Stewart, C.B. (1817), has been ap point/A acting superintendent pro tem. of Woolwich ockyard, vice Captain Lord John flay, appointed a Lord of the Admiralty, vice Commodore Sir F. A. Collier, K.C.H., Commander in Chief pro tern, of the Channel fleet. Captain Houston Stewart was made 11 Lieutenant in 1811, and Commander in 1814. He was midshipman of the Iniperieuse, and served in her boats in many of the gallant and daring exploit's of Lord Cochrane on the southern coast of France, and at Roses in 1807-3. Daring the operations on, th.e coast of Syria, and at the capture of Acre in 1 840,1%e commanded the Benbow, 72. The gallant Capttain arrived at Woolwich on Friday afternoon. Commodore Sir James S , Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., 011 leave of absence from. the Channel fleet, bas left town fur Cork, to re-boist his pendant on board the Queen. He left Port ;mouth for Plymouth en route on Friday evening. Captain Sir W•atkin Owen Pell, Knight (1813), who lost his leg white midshipman of La Loire, at the cap ture of the French frigate Pallas, in 1800, who was ap pointed, in February, 184.5, from the superintendentship of Pembroke dockyard to Greenwich Hospital, will have the varant Commissionership. Sir Witkin's brother, the late Lord Pell, Esq., who inherited the fortune of the late Sergeant Pell, brought into Parliament the late Lord Althorpfor Northampton, The pay of a Commis sioner is 6001, per annum, exclnsive of perquisites. Copt. W. B. bashwaal (1818), who was senirf lieutenant of the Active, and lost his arra at the capture of the French frigate Pornone, in 1811, commanded the Snap brig, and fought a gallant action with five loggers, capturing one, off St. Valery ; eurrolMPaed the Prometheus at Algiers ; and Capt. F. Barge . , - -ne (1S15),: have been nauied a§ likely to succeed B".t. W. 0. Pell. THE PROM(TION AND RF.TIREMENT.--VatioO3 ru mours have been circulated with respect to the consum mation of tMs much-to-be-desired measure of promotion and retirement, and anxious have been the hopes of the o ld ~,fficen.s that they will speedily receive that justi ce from the present Government so cruelly denied them by the lute Administrati o n, b u t t o w hi c h ,refuss% however, We are assured their Board of Adiniralt:7 was no party. It has been extensively reported tb . :4,t the scheme is to be promulgated on Monday next, but there cannot be any grounds for expecting stiC:i an event so soon to take place. As a matter of course, the Admiralty mast revise the proposed measure of their predecessors, and we believe in this . work they are now sedulon‘iy engaged ; but as yet there is no senior naval Lord at the board, sad whether it be Sir William Parker or Sir Chas. A.siam who accepts the office, it must undergo his leviaiun and have his sanction. It cannot, therefore, promulpted on Monday but e have faith in the good intentions of 111;5 ' present w board with re spect sec to the measure, and in the weieht of their emmendation to the Treasury, that it will be com pleted as soon as possible, and will not fall below that of Oa late board in liberality and extent. We have heard that Sir Chrles Napier has recovere 1 from his lethargy, and latterly h as b een most indu striousl y employed in pushing on the adoption of some scheme of retirement and promotion in fact, that he will, on the naval estimates being brought for ward, raise a discussion on every vote, and divide the house on every item. We confidently believe that there will be no necessity for the execution of this thr eat , wilieh, under the circumstances, may be deemed leanewhat gratuitous. &MAXIMS' BOATS.—The recent wreck of the Maiden City, near the Mull of Galloway, from which 110 per sons were providentially saved by the captain being enabled to run the ship on shore after she had struck on a rock, aff irds another proof of the necessity of adopting the recommendation of the committee on shipwrecks, that ell sea-going steamers should be provided with .saddle-box safety-boats." To the fineness of the reather, and the assistance front the shore (which the teamer was fortunately enabled to reach in her sinking tats), the passengers and crew, more then 100, owe heir lives. In the Steam Navigation Bill now before 'arliament, the boats to be carried by steamers are par- icularly alluded to, CIIHRCH FOR THE SEAMEN AT THE ISLE Op MAN,— 'he authorities having deter Mined to erect a place of orship on shore for the seamen belonging to and fre the Admiralty, w h o some tenting the Isle of Pitan oars since lent an old ship, called the Industry, for a main chapel there, have most liberally given the issel to them. The Industry will now be broken up, id the materials will be converted towards the con fliction of the new church. THE Mmo's's SPARS AGAIN.—On the night of the it ()lime., , after leaving Cork for Lisbon, the Albion, ), Captain Lockyer, C. 8., from a shift of wind, was when she pi tc h e d so .liged biw a head-yea, emendonsly heavy (hoe sprit completely under), that te sprung her maintopmast. which, however, s h e d i d it dare 10 shift until she arrived at Lisben. Aittiotnh e rent is from the trussel trees :o the cap. they have nand it together with iron hoops, and have thus made defective spar to serve. We shall have some little ore to say about this ship shortly, and the manoeuvres board.—Herald. Mr. South Cave, surgeon, agreed in the views ex pressed by Mr. Raines. The prisoner had been examined by the latter gentleman, on the 15th o f A pr i l, when he ascer.; tained that she had had a child within a month or six weeks. She told him that it was a still -born child, but she did not know when, and had thrown it into the pond naked. and with nothing attached to it. She then mentioned no per son'.: name to him. THE SCARCITY OF FIWIT.—Thi9 has boen the wont lit season 'h.t hag been known fin. >everal years past. All growers in Kent have bad their crops bliglaied. The srcity is general. Matthew Maguire, superintendent of police, stated that be took the prison. -T on the 15th. He found her in an un occupied house at Eaqrington, along with two other women THE WATERMAN AND IRON STEAM-BOAT COMPANIES. It will be recollected that several convictions have taken place at the Mansion House, of persons in com mand of the boats belonging to the above companies, for an infringement of the fifth bye-law made by the Court of Aldermen. In all of the cases the parties were eon victed on the evidence of Mr. Fellows, law student, and notice of appeal was given. The cases were fourteen in number. The various defendants were now represented by Mr. Pashley, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Maynard. To the first appeal an objection was taken, to the effect that the Mayor, after conviction, had ordered that in default of payment the defendant should be impriscned for seven days, and thereby foregoing the intermediate course of ascertaining whether the defendant had any goods which could be taken in execution. Although Sir Peter Laurie, Sir George Carroll, and Mr. Alder man Challis considered the objection to be bad, the Recorder held the reverse, on the ground that the liberty of the subject was not to be played with, and the whole convictions on this point were in consequence quashed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIVSION-HO USE. On Saturday, Mr. Moses Abitbol appeared before the Lord Ma} or. "to show cause," as the summons ex pressed it, " why he misapplied certain shares, and also certain moneys, belonging to Francis Uncilla, entrusted to him for a specific purpose. Mr Cope, solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Humphreys appeared for the defence. The case drew together a number of persons to whom the defendant, who is a very public City man, appeared to be known. Mr. Uncilla, whose counting-house is at 20, Cullum street, stated that he was a merchant, and had been in London about eight months. He knew Mr. Abitbol, having become acquainted with him about two months ago, at a restaurateur's. Witness and his wife were there together, and Mr. Abitbol pressed them very much to accompany him to places of amusement, and an inti macy grew up between them, which appeared to be urgently desired by the gentleman. Witness, upon one of the visits of Mr. Abitbol to his counting-house, asked whether any Madrid and Valencia shares could be sold in London, to which Mr. Abitbol replied, " Yes, I am a broker, and do a great deal of business in them." "He then," continued the witness, " quoted a price, and advised me to write to Barcelona for some shares, and he would undertake to sell them for me, at th• price he quoted, or thereabouts. I wrote accordingly, and I received ten shares, and entrusted them to him to sell for me on the 21st of May. Mr. Humphreys—Did you give them to him? Mr. Uncilla—l left them with his clerk, at his counting house, No. 35, Abehurch-lane, with instructions to sell them. ' Mr. Humphreys—Were they written instructions ? Mr. Uncilla—No ; they were verbal instructions. The LORD MA.YOR—Had you previously made any narrlyanagrermanegnetmwelitthl made eAwbitih him Abitbol Mr . ? ncilla w — The n was,. that send for the shares, and he was to sell them for me. The next communication I had from him was a letter stating that he had sold a parcel of 200 Madrid and Valencia shares at Liverpool, for 20s. 6d. per share, in which parcel my ten shares were included, and that on the settlement he would send me a draft as usual. (Here the complainant produced the letter, at the conclusion of which was a very warm invitation to him and his wife to dinner.) The LORD MAYOR—I suppose you went to dinner ? Mr. Uncilla—Yes, we went to dine with him.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—I dare say you said nothing about the shares at the dinner? Mr. Uncilla—We had no conversation about them then. I afterwards called upon him, and he gave me a contract in his own hand writing to the effect that be had sold ten Madrid and Valencia shares for me at 20s. 6d., the commission being ls., stating a balance due to me of 9/. 15s. (The witness here produced the contract, which was dated May 29, 1846, and was signed "M. Abitbol.) I wrote for some more shares in consequence of his advice. Mr. Humphreys submitted that there was nothing in the statement of Mr. Uncilla which called for an answer on the part of his client.. Mr. Cope —I shall prove in the first place that Mr, Abitbol is not a broker. The LORD MAYOR—That may be the subject o f i n . quiry in another place. 1 c tonot entertain it hire. Mr. Cope.--I esti sh,w it as a parr of the c)thAitution client. tho fraud which I say h as been pra , :riscd uport my Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk)—The question then would be whether a bare lie told by a man that he was a broker conatituted a fraud. Is it not plain that ordi nary prudence has not been used. Before Mr. Uncilla employed the defendant be ought to have inquired whether he wai a broker. Mr. c„ pe ___./ do not c , msider such s course is practised or necessary. If a man wants to empl o y an attorney he will net go to the Stamp-frce to ascertain the fact. He will take the word of ,0 puty that be is 64 attorney, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING,JCLY 20, 184 (Ann Norwood and Mrs. Iluddlestone) whit Slie was at work, assisting the other two to tleah the house. When he told her he wanted her, she ran to the front door an d pu ll e d two cloths from h er b reast, and threw them down. Being told the charge, she first said _that she had had no child, and afterwards that the child was still-born, and that she bad had it by .the pond in Sam Hill's close_ The body she had put into the pond she said. Witness found in the house a piece of blanket, which appeared to be a part of that found with the child's body. Took the prisoner to the Howden-station, and there cautioned her that she had better not say any more to him about the mattet; but she would speak, observing to him that she in the habit of talking, even to herielt, hod could not help it. She then went oh it tontradict he first statement, saying that her reason for having made it was, that the child being John Norwoe,',! s st m t il t t h o t want to bring him into trouble ; as en added, w as b orn i n s h e Itn ,4 rilin as well t a h s er h father's h h e u r s ,s ba h i o id u . se Tc,nhetheol.94l o s h p , h May, and John Norwood came to the 'tiotas and into the room soon afterwards. He took .ale child to the window to look at it, and then told her it was dead, and that he would take it away, and asked her If she had anything in the drawer to lay it in. She told him there was some in the drawer. He then wrapped the child up and took it away under his coat, saying that she might trust to him; that he would have it buried, and that it was all right. The man John Norwood bad afterwards been apprehended, but was discharged. Ann Norwood, sister of the man abovementioned, con firmed the constable's evidence as to the conduct of the pri soner at the house where she was apprehended. The piece of blanket found at that house had been brought there by the prisoner. The witness lives with her brothers, John and William Norwood. John was at home on the 3d of May. He went to bed at ten o'clock that night, and did not again go out. - 11 . 1sig . aret Ward, dressmaker, of Eashington, stated that she lives in a house near that of prisoner's father. On the 3d of May, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, saw the prisoner pass by her house, which is on the road from Eastiington to Sandholme, wearing a silk cloak, and carrying a basket. She went in the direction of the pond in question, which is but a short distance out of the road. The defence offered by Mr. BLlss upon these facts was fuundad on the supposition that all the prisoner had said in her second statement might really have been the truth, and if sn, the Learned Gentleman untended there was no evi dence in the rest of the case to convict her. The prisoner was 'convicted.—Sentence deferred. The causes tried on the civil side have hi , herto been of little public interest , but ther e are more than the usual num ber of special juries to come. Many of the common jury cases have been struck out of the list, owing to the absence of attorneys nr witnesses. Mr. Justice Wightman, in the absence of other business to go on with, was engaged this afternoon in trying prisoners. ' and I contend that it is an act of fraud in a person to personate either.

The case is subject to another sort of proceeding than this before the Lord Mayor. It i s not recognisable in this Court Mr. Cope—There is no doubt that a moral fraud has been committed, and the presumption is that an actual fraud has neen committed. lie pretends that he is a broker, and upon that false pretence he gets shares to dispose of.

ACCIDENT Ott Tilt EASTERN On Saturday -"eit:o a sSollision of a most alarming bhafacter took place at Strat.iofei, tteesseen the Ipswich no teethe vehielt was due at about four o'clock, but *birth was twenty iiiithitei4 ht , hitid its tune, and a train of trucks from h mford. The rpeel_eft train had hardly been a minute alongside the platform, prefifitmory to the pas setigerS leaving the carriages, when OnS driver of the Roinford train Crime 'Ton the same line of re-jit, and, regardless of the signal Made tee • him not to advance, drove his engine, ite it is asserted, with enehe e k e d sp ee d against the hifidteest carriage of the Ipswich Ifelte The total destruction of the edtfirme first struck was tho work of a moment, and then erietted a scene that baffles description, and would, indeed, be but tee, painful if we attempted to depict it. In the words. of one Of the witnesses, n Bodies were lyit g in all directions, setup with legs broken, others with ribs fractured, faces horribly cut and disfigured, feet crushed, and in some instances half cut off, and others apparently dead." As sOO/1 as the servants of the company could collect then'sselere they ren dered the utmost assistance to the unfortunee neesen eerie Mr. Richardson, the station clerk, being particu larly active. It was found that between thirty and forty persons had been injured, and an eneine was Irtim ,, diately sent off to the terminus at Shoreditch for carriagee to remove the sufferers to the London Hospital. The cer riages arrived in a few minutes, and a eureeon with them. who proceeded to render his professional useletence with the greatest zeal. In a very short time all that were in any way injured were taken to the London Hospital, with the exception of some who preferred to be sent home. When the alarm had somewhat subsided, it was found that the engine bringing the trucks bad rite into the last carriage in the passenger train, which was a second-class carriage, and completely elootered it, and the buffers of a first-class carriage had forged them selves into a second-class carriage, in which several persons had their legs fractured. The concussion was so great as to do considerable damage to every carriage, and scarcely a passenger escaped without some injury. Providentially, no lives were lest but we cannot under take to say that several of the accidents may not yet have a fatal termination. As soon as the distressing calamity occurred, information was sent to Mr. Roney, the secretary, who was at ntms bridge, by means of the electric telegraph, and that gentleman, immediately on receiving the melancholy in telligence, started for Stratford in a special train, Mr. Mosely, the manager of the truffle, and Mr. Samuel, the resident engineer, in the meantime rendered every assistance. Our reporter waited upon Mr. Roney, togettrpr with the representatives of other journals, and was received by that gentleman with the greatest courtesy, Linn,: the generality of the head officials at railways. He ex pressed himself desirous of affording the press every in formation, and fur that purpose he called all the wit nesses of the accident together. and permitted them to give, in detail, what they individually knew of the un fortunate transaction. As the thetettenti made by the witnesses furnish the only authentic account of the affair, we will proceed at once to give them in their own tittrde - Mr, Richardson was the first person &led and ques tioned. Ile said— lam the station clerk at Stratford. The up train, which leateB Ipswich at one o'clock. Wtl.3 due a few minutes heltree ileloek, but it Aid not arrive until twenty minutes alter its tithe. We had had a cattle train up from Colchester, wiiieh was just eleeeed off into the sidings, when the passenger train came up. The bell was rung, as is usual, on the arrival or de parture of a train, and I eattie out of the office on to the platform, and saw the passengers getting in and out of the cerriages. The train was about to stutt for London, and I had fel do—n the train to find the gueeds when. on looking round. the engine of a train ef Weeks coning towards the passeeget train. I then shouted out to the eneine driver of the pas4engef twain to gee on. and ran tewerd, him. As I came up 15>l! , the fireman of the engine falling to the ground. I then rah to the carriages to see what had happened. There was a vacancy between the engine of the troche train and the pioseuger train. One seterel-cless carries!, was lying in ruins on the line. I then, stommenced picking up those who were injuted. I -aw a :rein lying on the platform with his leg nearly cut off ; he was One of our men. aed there was another of our men with his toe cut off. There were many others lying shout, all more or less injured. There were in all between SO and 40. I should think the greater number injured were these in the last carriage, which had been pet on at Romford. The train was composed ef an engine and tender, two horse-boxes, a coach truck, a first-class car riage, several second and third class carriages, and an other horse-box. a luggage van, and the second•clees carriage I hate spoken of as being destroyed. I after words went with the engine to the terminus to obtain some carriages to teke the injured parties to the hospi tal and obtain medical aid. The regular signal that a train was then at the station, and any other coming up was to stop, was given. The signal is 300 yards from the station ; it can be seen the same distance on the other side, and, therefore, if the driver of the engine at tended to it, there was time to stop before he got to the station. The signal known as Halle's, or the fan-signal, was down, denoting that there was a train then at the station. Had no obetruetion existed the fan would have been up. At that station there is a foreman, porter, a goods man, a signal and point man, an under locomotive fore man, and a lad about eighteen years old, who does errands and other work. At the time the collision took place the signal man was attending to the cattle-train, and the lad, Unwin. had been appointed to watch the signal. I had told the signal man to attend to the cat tle-train, and had sent the lad in his place ; I saw him there, and he never left it till the train from Ipswich arrived, and then he pulled down the fan, the signal for no other train to approach, and left it to attend to the train. The signal is raised by windlass, and therefore could not act of itself. Mr. Kitson, the foreman of the locomotive de partment, said : In consequence of a communication I received, I came on to the platform immediately after the accident, and saw a lady, who was being led away. I found the engine of the passenger train forced ten or fifteen yards from the carriages. As I ran along I saw two persons severely injured : one said his leg was broken. The hindmost second-class carriage was broken all to pieces. After sending to London for carriages, we got the injured passengers into this room as quickly as possible. There were five horses in the boxes, and none of them were injured. A great number of the passengers were very slightly injured, and were enabled to proceed to London. None of these were taken to the hospital. Neither of the engines got off the line. The delay in the arrival of the train was occasioned by its being heavily laden. It was only about seven minutes behind its time. The driver who drove the engine of the train from Remford is now in custody. He says he shut off the steam, and that. the signal was wrong,, that it was up instead of down. His name is William Clare ; the engine he drove was numbered 34, and he had been about twelve months in the company's service. The signal was down after the accident. All the fans were opened. The signal consists of four pieces of wood fan-shaped and of cliff:rent colours ; when it is intended for a train to stop, all the fans are down or opened, and are so large that they are very easily dis cerned. By the desire of the secretary we visited the signal and saw it werked, and we must state that if' the fans were down when the accident happened, the driver of No. 34 engine is in our opinion criminally responsible for any lives that may be sacrificed by this untoward event. On our retnrn, Edward Unwin, a most important witness, was called in, and he stated as follows: I am a messenger at this station, and am eighteen years of age. I was at the signal post when the passenger train came up, and I put down the signal to give notice that a train had arrived. I do riot know what time it was, as I could not see the clock, but the train was twenty minutes behind its time. I was at the signal post to pull up the signal for the passenger train when the cattle train was cleared. When I left the signal to go to the station I left three fans down ; at that time the road was clear. I did not see anything coming up. I could state on my oath the fans were down when I left the signal to come to the station. On my arrival at the station I locked the doors, and then came nut on the platform, when I heard Mr. Richardson hal lowing out. I looked down the line, and saw a train coming in. He shouted for the passenger train to go on, and ran up, and then ran back, and called " Stop !" to the other party. Mr. Richardson set the to stop at the signal, and told me to turn round and look towards the train coming dove the line, and I did so. Mr. Roney, the secretary, here informed our re porter that the following persons were in custody : William Clare, the driver of engine 34 ; William Quen lin, the stoker ; Thomas Green the signal-man ; and an under foreman, named Nicholson. Mr. Samuel, the re sident engineer, gave them into custody, as they ap peared to be the four persons through whose negligence the accident had taken place. The secretary subse quently stated that he should release Green, the signal man, as it appeared he had been employed by the station clerk to attend to the cattle train. The men are now locked up at the Bow station. Mr. George Burford, a linen-draper, residing at Strat ford, attended by request of the secretary, and made a statement that becomes of vital importance, in the event of any of the sufferers dying, inasmuch as it confirms the more material portion of the lad Unwin's statement, and tends to strengthen the charge of culpability against the driver of No. 34 engine. He said—l was coming over the railway bridge at the Point, when I saw a pas senger train coming up, and directly it am the signal was let down. I had not left the bridge up ehi ti rty yards before tip came another train. I took no no .ee then of the signal, and went straight home, I heard of the accident afterwards. I am aware how important what I have stated is; but it is the truth. When I heard the other train I thought it was one coming down. I could not have imagined that one would be coming up so quickly after the other. I heard the man Clare say to Mr. Kitson that the signal was up, and when they saw the danger they were getting in, then he shut off th e steam, and the stoker put on the breaks. Mr. Kitson said when he was taking the engine driver to Bow station, he said to him. " What have you bee ti doing," and he said the signal was up. Mr. Rote.y observed that the above w,es all the infor mvion he could give the press relative tai the cause or the eccident at present. He had a list of persoqs who had been seriously irjureil, and Mr. Mosely. the superintendent of the traffic departm-nt, wcold read it. LIST OF THE WOUNDED TAKEN TO LONDON HOSPITAL.

Mr. Cope—Some money transactions took place, after the share business, in which M r . Abi t b ol received 50/, from my client, and neither in that nor in the share transaction just described did he ever receive one farthing from Mr. Abitbol. Mr. Humphries submitted that it would be useless to go into any other case. Mr. Goodman (to Mr. Uncilla)—Did Mr. Abitbol tell you that he was a member '.)f the Sto c k E xc h ange ? Mr. Uncilla—l do not :know anything as to that, but he told me he was a broker, and I was not aware that he was not a broker, until I had intrusted him with my money and my shares. The LORD MATon—With what money did you in trust him ? Mr. Uneilla—l intrusted him with 501. to buy stock with, and I accuse him of having misappropriated that sum, The temp Melton (having consulted with Mr. Good man) said it was evident that this 'case, as well as the former, must be decided elsewhere. They both con• tained matter for actions. Mr. Goodman said, the case could never bear an in dictment, and if it were not Indictable, it could not come under the notice of the Lord Mayor. If Mr. Abitbol had said that he was a member of the Stock-Exchange, the responsibility would be different. Mr. Uncilla—He said he was a member of the Hall of Commerce. Mr. Humphreys here produced a letter, dated the Ist of June, from the complainant to the defendant, in which the former requested the latter to be kind enough to employ 501. for him in any operation for his interest. Mr. Humphreys—That letter puts an end to the business at one. Mr. Uncilla—l wrote that letter before I had any idea that I should be treated unfairly. Mr. Abitbol was giving constant invitations to amusements, and I had no idea what would have happened. I was convinced that everything honourable would have taken plaCe. Mr. Goodman—You may indict if you please, but the Lard Mayor cannot adjudicate in the matter. GUILDHALL. On Ssturday two knowing-looking characters, named Henry Moore and Henry Jones, were charged with de frauding Mr. Farrier, the landlord of the Angel Inn, Farringdon-street, of sundry p rk pies and pints of half and-half. The complainant stated that he opened his house at four o'clock in the morning, to accommodate the market people and those arriving by the waggons. That morn ing, shortly after he had opened his house. the prisoners came in, and in a very commanding manner asked him if he had any cold mon. He reelied that he had not, but that he had some pork pies, which no doubt they would find equally agreeable. They answered, the pies would do as well, and were served with some, which they speedily, with several pints of potter, halt-and-hale &c _ , put out of sight. On leaving, complainant asked them for payment of the refreehments, upon which they answered, " Money, eh ! we will pay you with a cut over the eye, and that is all the payment you will get from us." Jones made use of that expression, and, en• deavouring with his companion to escape, a policeman was called, and they were given isle custody. The prisoners in answer to the charge, said if the land lord had allowed them to have gone home, they would have got the money and paid the landlord. Roe, the officer of the Court, remarked that these serious frauds on publicans were daily increasing. The metropolis abounded with such offenders as the prisoners, and the licensed victuallers were sad sufferers by their visitations. Mr. Alderman &wrist regretted the law did not afford him an apportunity of punishing such characters as the prisoners in the way they so richly met ited. There could be no doubt that such frauds going un punished was a great hardship on licensed victuallers ; such, however, was the ineffieiency of the law, and he lamented it. Jones by his threat, however, had placed himself in his power, and he should call upon him to find two sureties of 201. each, to keep the peace for the next twele months. Moore was discharged. BO W-S TREE T. INSANITY.—Mr. James R. Smith, a surgeon, of 43, Sackville-street, was charged with wandering in the neighbourhood of Charing cross in a state of insanity, and annoying several persons Mr. JARDINE said a general order had been issued to the effect, that persons found wandering in the public thoroughfares in a state of insanity, should he in the first instance conveyed to the workhouse, in order that the case might be submitted to the medical attendant. Inspector Stevens said that the order would have been complied with had not the prisoner been annoying per sona passing, which constituted a distinct charge. Constable A 83, proved that he saw the prisoner about half -past one in Cockspur-street, Whitehall, &c., annoying ladies and gentlemen by laying hold of them. He also paid a visitito the Home-office, where he applied to be appointed to a recordership, in consequence of which the doorkeeper received orders to refuse him ad mission in future. Witness followed him for some time, during which he entered numerous shops without any apparent object. He had behaved in the same extraor dinary manner on former days, on one occasion seizing the finger of a child and twisting it nearly out of jcint. The prisoner, in his defence, observed in a quiet and calm manner, that he had not annoyed any one inten tionally, and when he was alleged to have twisted the child's finger, he was merely inquiring as to its health. As to the Home-office, he admitted haying been there for redress, as a lady of title at the West-end had bribed all the cab and omnibus drivers to hoot him and call after him as he walked, and their persecutions had caused him to lose almost all his practice. The annoyance from omnibus men had nearly ceased, but still two of the Marylebone police were constantly using offensive epi thets to him, and saying " Fie, fie !" Inspector Stevens informed the magistrate that the defendant had been fined Si. at Marlborough -street for annoying a lady. In answer to the Court. the prisoner said he had given his right name and address; but he was now only " consulted" by the faculty, his regular patients having left him, in consequence of the persecutions to which he was exposed. Mr. JARDINE ordered him to be taken care of, and desired the police-constable to confer with the parish authorities as to the best course to be pursued with him. LAMBETH. On Saturday, two notorious smashers and utterers of gilt counterfeit half-sovereigns, were brought up for final examination, and though the witnesses had been in attendance for some hours, and that one of the pri soners had been remanded at the express desire of Mr. Powell, the assistant-solicitor to the Mint, in order that he might establish other charges against him, neither Mr. Powell, nor any person from him, had thought proper to attend. The tradesmen in the district of this Court complain bitterly of the gross negligence and apathy on the part ofthe Mint solicitor and his assistants to this part of their duty. It would appear that Mr. Powell is the only individual to attend to this class of cases throughout the whole country, as his principal, Mr. Blunt (solicitor to the Norton has very free system of M int Fro- Mint) has never thought proper to appear at any of the metropolitan police -courts. Mr. quently complained of the present soli citors, and it is much to be hoped Mr. Shell, the that . will turn his at secutions, and the laxity on the part of th e M int newly-appointed Master of the tention to the matter. 1 LONDON SESSIONS. THE RATING OF THE DLACKFRIARS STEAM-BOAT PIER. This case, brought forward on Satnrday, was an appeal against the parish of St. Anne, Blackfriars, on the part of the corporation of the city of London, in respect to an assessment made for the relief of the poor of the said parish, as regards the rating of the pier at Blackfriars b ridge. Mr. Maynard, who appeared on the part of the re spondents, said that, as the pier was built upon, and within the parish of St. Anne, Blackfriars, and from which the corporation of the city of London obtained a beneficial occupation, the palish authorities had, in ac cordance with the common and statute law, rated the 'aid pier towards the relief of the poor. The amount at which the rental was fixed was tool. per annum. lie, however, should be prepared to show that although the pier had only been erected nine months, that no less than 2,000/. had been received as pier dues, and that the pro fits were at least 1,000/. a year. From the case pre sented by the appellants, they had preferred no fewer than five objections, and which were as follows:---First, that the pier was not situate within the parish ; second, that there wa s no b ene fi c i al occupation ; third, that it was not property liable to he rated ; fourth, it was as essed beyind its rental ; and lastly, that the case we. oppressive, illeg4l, send unjust. All these objections were bad. Mr. May. the tufistant overseer, and Mr. Spilling, formerly one of the churchwardens, were called, whose vi+ nce went to show that the hou-:es from N , N 1 to No. 4, Chatham-place, were ex,mpred from thi , pay ment of rates by Act of Parliament, the rents being ap propriated toward, the repairs of Bluelcfriars-bridge, but the houses were, nevi-rthdess, in the parish, the boun dari,,s bring fixed under the second arch, beyond the distance unto which the pier extended, Mr. Woodruffe, from the Town-ekk's office, deposed that Blackfriar's-nier was opened on the 24th October, 1845. and that the charges made were (Id: clith tall by the steam-boats —that up to lath ot 3 . ttn, tlat Ills. 6d. had be,n received—that-: there was owing to the Navigation Cotntuittc.:e g gF Odl,--thAt the expenses for pierrawn, watelaseh, was 602/. 3a. 3.1., and that th e building the cost the city 3 0001.—that when th e F 0. pier ""as opened it was estimated that the annual ex pellee for maintaining it would be 1,0891. 4s. Mr. Lewis contended that there was no evidence to show that the pier was in a rateable position, so that the corporation was liable to be rated. The city had built it for the accommodation of the public, and had been in duced to do so from the loss of life which had there taken place. That by an Act of Parliament the soil of the river was placed under the control of the city, and not under that of the parish. Richard Ware, the piermaster, was then Balled, who proved that when the pariah officers perambulated the parish, they went down the steps next to the bridge, but never came on the pletk. The Rxvortaige at Very considerable length, then pro ceeded to giaalintigment, in the course of which he ob- Fierved that although the evidence, as to the boundary of the parish was not so clear as he cculd wish, yet there could be no doubt that the structure was within the pa rish, and that at present it was, to all intents and pur wst a beneficial occupation. The rate would, there fore, be affirmed. The Corporation had the power to put an end to the rate at any time it thought proper to let the stea,m.boats take passengers away without charge. In the course of the proceedings he had heard the pier bet fined a nuisance, instead of which it appeared to him to be a great public convenience and benetit.—The rate was then affirmed, with the usual costs.

AS _SIZE INTELLIGENCE. Hoilih ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 17. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKZ.) George Hyams, 25, was -indicted for burglariously break ing and entering the dwelling-house of William Farrer Ste yens, at t3ulphan, and stealing a gun and other articles, his property. Mr. T. Chambers conducted the prosecution. The circumstances under which this offence was committed appeared by the evidence to be of a very outrageous charac ter. The prosecutor is a farmer, residing near Romford. and on the night of the 18th of December he was awoke by hear ing a noise in the lower part of his house, when he dressed himself, took a pair of pistols, and jumped out of the window, and he immediately saw a man, who presented a pistol at him, and with an oath said, 1, You —, you are dead," at the same instant diFcharging the pistol, and he was slightly woundea in the head. He tried to discharge ene of his own pistols, but it missed fire, and he then ran away to obtain as sistance, and as he was doing so, the man fired a second pis tol at him which fortunately missed him. On his return to the house shortly afterwards he discovered that entrance had been obtained by forcibly breaking down a door on the ground floor, which had been bone apparently with a bricklayer's hammer which was found on th e prem i ses, and a valuable glut a n d some other articles had been stolen. The prose er.tor could not identify the man who tired at him as his face was blackened, but the case was clearly made out by the evidence of an accomplice named George Freeman, who was one of the party concerned in the outrage. This man stated, that on the day in qaestion he started with the prisoner and a man named Scovell from London, and they arrived at the prosecutor's house about twelve at night, and that Scovell then said he would not go any further without getting some money, and he then produced a pair of pistols and a bricklayer's hammer, and he (the witness) kept watch while the other two men broke into the house, and he soon afterwards heard the report.; of two pistols. He likewise stated that Scovell and the prisoner blacked their faces and took off their shoes before they went into the house, and that after the pistols had been fired Scovell came out and said they must be off, and they all three went away and slept under a hedge, and next day Scovell and the prisoner went back to London. The prisoner, who appeared to be a hardened desperate fellow, cross-examined the witness Freeman at considerable length, and asked him whether he was not the ringleader, and whether he did not take them down to commit the rob bery, and tell them he knew the house, as he had formerly been in Mr. Stevens's employ. The witness denied that this was the case, and said that he should not have watched while the robbery was being com mitted if Scorell had not threatened to shoot him if he did not do so, and he was frightened he would kill him. The prisoner here exclaimed, '' Ah, that's very lik e ly. You are a p re tty f e ll ow to b e fr i ghtened. " Baron PARKE asked the prisoner whether he wished to rut any other questions to the witness? Prisoner (in an impudent tone)---No, I shan't ask him any thing more; it's no use. Some other evidence was then adduced. corroborating in several important particulars the statement of the witness Freeman. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, merely repeated his former ststernew, that the witness Freeman was the man who planned the robbery. The Learned JUDGE having summed uo, The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron PARKE then sentenced the prison t. h. be trans ported for 15 years, ard he ordered that a reward of 10/. should be paid ti Smith, an inspector of the Essex constabu lary, and another officer of the same force, for their activity and zeal in tracing out the case and apprehending the prisoner. The other man. Scoyel, was convicted at a former assize, and sentenced to be transported fiur fifteen years. Patrick Connor, 30, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to the common gaol of Romford, the said building being said to be the property of the High- Steward of that place. Mr. Marsh conducted the prosecution. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, who was in cus tody upon a charge of deserting from the 18th Regimers% aas taken on the 4th of July from Ilford Gaol under - a mili tary escort, to be conveyed to the head-quarters ‘`,`.. the regi ment, and he was placed in Bamford Gael at night for secu rity, there being no other prisoner at the time in the establishment. Very soon afterwards the place where the prisoner was confined was discovered to be in flames, and on the door being opened he was taken out nearly suffocated. and it was ascertaiind that the straw in the prisoner's bed bad been entirely cdnsumed, and the building was burnt in several places. Mr. Anderson, the governor of Ilford Gaol, also deposed that while the prisoner was in his custody he admitted that he had wilfully tired the place, and also stated that he hail been ill used in his regiment, and he would rather be transported than go back to it. The prisoner in his defence said, that on the way to Rom ford he had ptrrchased a box of lucifer matehes, and that after he was locked up he lighted his pipe and fell asleep on the bed and it accidentally took fire. He said he had serred ten years abroad, and was engaged in the war in China and other places, and it was not very likely he should wilfully have set fire to the place when he might have lost his ovni. life. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up. the jtsn\ after a short delikration, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. :17 IVOR THAR 21 7 CIRGUir —York, Jay 16. CROWY COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CliEssw Eta. ) Marthct Duck, a woman aged 29. bite of Scarberoogh, was indicted fo r h av i ng, on the llth of May last, at Newby, un lawfully exposed to the cold her intent male bastard child, with intent to kill and murder the said child. Mr. Bliss and Mr. Travers Conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was wit defended by counsel. Wm. Wilson, assistant to air. Spink, butcher, at Scarbo rough, stated that on the llth of May he was in a field of his master's, near the road leading from Scarborough to Whitby. From that he could see into a tied belonging to a Mr. Watson, and there he perceived the prisoner walking about. Watched her for some time, and saw her go into a barn Which stapds in the field. She shortly after left the b a r n aga i n, End went near to a hedge. Sa w her there squat down close by the hedge, and, on rising, leave something like a cloth, which she put on a bush, Afterwards she walked about for some time, looking around her, and after that she lay down for a time in afield belonging to one Hopper. Watched her further, the witness being under a cliff, but the prisoner, getting on higher ground, pereeived him. He then went up to her, and spoke to her. She appeared to be large in the family way. This occurred at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Renr,y Rithniond, anothe r w it ness, sa id that he was in Aratacn's field at about six o'clock the same evening, and there heard a noise as of the cry of a child, which proceeded from the hedge bottom. A boy who was there and the wit ness went and found a male child under the hedge. It was covered with leaves and grass, and there was seine blood upon it. The boy picked it tip, and put it into the hand kerchief of witness, who took it to a Mrs. Ireland, living at a short distance oft. The witness stated to the Judge that there was no regu lar footpath by u here the child was found. It was found at about 200 yards from the barn. Saw no people at work near the spot. Mrs. Ireland said that she received the child from the last witness, awl Observed that it was newly born, and that the navel-string was not tied. She gave it a little gin and water, and then delivered the child to another woman, by whom it was suckled, and it was subsequently taken to the Scarborough union workhouse, Newby township, being within that union. Mr. Thomas Dunkerley, the master of the workhouse, said that the child was brought there by Anne Pexton, Mrs. Ire land's niece, and Smallwood, the overseer of the township. The infant had severe fits for some days after it came, but it was still living. Richard Robfrts, superintendent of the Scarborough police, had taken the prisoner on the 14th of May. Told her what for. She told hint that she had not had a child for 10 or 11 years. Mr. William Henry Wilson, medical officer of the union, examined th , -, prisoner after her apprehension. She had then been delivered of a child about a week. Mr. Cross, the surgeon, saw her, and told her he was grieved to see her in that situatlai, and then she said that the child was hers. Witness asked her where the after-birth was, and she an swered that it was in the field, and said that she had severed the navel-string of the child by tearing it with her fingers. Mr. Richard Cross, surgeon, deposed that the prisoner told him she w as on h er.way to Stkeld, a village about six miles from Scarborough, at, the time it o ccurre d to her. Her regular reside nce was at Suffield. The field in which she was seen, and where the child wail found, was not the nearest way from Scarborough to Suffield. It would be a great dis tance round to go that way. Witness bad before attended prisoner, and in October last she was in a state of pregnancy. The prisoner was convicted.—Sentence deterred.

Mr. Temple, with Mr. Dearslev, appeared to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Bliss to defend the prisoner. The prisoner, it appeared, was a daughter of a farmer at Eastrington. She wee married about five years ago. but about three years back her husband left her to go to America. Oa the 12th of May, in the forenoon, &witness Ann Jack on, was crossing the foot - path which leads through a field called Samuel Hill's close, in Blacktoft, which field lies near the prisoner' s father' s h ouse, and had formerly been in his occupation. The witness saw a bundle in the pond, which, having taken it out, proved to be the body of a female infant, wrapped and sewed up in a piece of cloth or blanket. At tached to the bundle there was a brick, fastened with a piece of cord. There was also the piece of a bedgewn, and an old silk apron, forming part of the wrapping round the body. The body, with the clothes, were given to Mr. Raines, surgeon, of Newport, and by him to Thomas Rennison. a farmer, of Blacktoft, who placed them in a stable, where they were locked up for safety. Mr. Raines stated that the appearances of the child, though the body had become decomposed, were healthy. It was a fine child; the lungs floated, and the stomach was empty, hut. healthy. He was it opinion that the child had not (hid a natural death. There was extravasation of blood externally ou the chest, and he coasidered that to have been caused acme blunt blunt instrument during life—by a blow, and not by individual must lose his foot, if not his leg, by ampu tation.

HOP INTELLI6ENCE, EAST lINTYORD, JULY 15, 1846.°—The period of the year has again arrived when, if we cannot speak with certainty as regards the coming crop, we can assume flow the aspect, of the respective plantations, what we may reasonably anticipate in the forthcoming au'umn. For the purpose of doing our best endeavours to obe.in correct knowledge of the actual state o f the grounds, we have made an extensive tour through the district, end tan? report thereupon will he found in the subjoined district repotee. Before proceeding to give these, we are, however, desirous of making a few general observations ern the district at large, as they were calleeted un our recefit visit. In the first place it is quite evident to us that the old Kent sets, which are in existence in many of our plantations, are this year proving a greater failure than any other ; but whether this may arise from the setuse of this particular species of the plant, or whether from the pemiliarity of the settees', or from ths se o ceases combined, is a problem beyond our province to decide, In the next piece, with one or two trifltig ex. ceotions, the hops on the lighter and alluvial soils are It' a more luXuriant state, and have a much greater alatthletice of bine than the argillaceous and strong adhesive clays. There is etiether matter to which we would call the attention of oar hop-growing friends : it is this—finding the early blight to be so , xtensive acid soSste, and thinking that it WI illbi 13(- useless to supply the usual dre&Aing with manure , at the accu , toteed pe riA they neglected to perform this absolutely neces sary ore-eeriest, which has already proved not only de trimental to the growth of the present crap, but will ultimately so weaken the stock as in a great measure to give it a fair chance of failing during the next year. This mode of dealiqg with a non-productive crop is highly censurable, and certainly ought no longer to be practised, Our readers will perceive by a careful perusal of the sebsequent part of this article that some whole parishes are fellures, and that in many of the remainder the crop is partially so ; for whatever may be the nature of the coming weather it is a matter of perfect impossibility for those places where so much shortness of bine exists so to progress as ultimately to yield anything like near a halt crop. After, therefore, carefully weighine; over the district, and supposing the - best portions to come to full perfection, and the others to progress in proportion, we think that it cannot pay a greater old duty than 21001. Of course, this is putting the best face upon the matter as to present appearances ; but that the crop has many casualties to contend with, this amount may be taken as a full aggregate. Supposing, therefore, that the North Clay district should ultimately pay 2,100 L, and that the kingdom should pay in proportion, we cannot think that hops will he uncommonly cheap, because the old duty of the whole would not exceed 195.0001. Let us then sve what stock there is likely to remain on hand in October, when the new crop shall he brought into the market. According to the most careful calculations made by persons well qualified to judge in the matter, it was found at the close of the year 1844 that net more than half a year's consumption, efall growths and of all ages, still remained in the country. Ttse old duty of last year amounted to 158,0001.. about 26,000/. more than the an nual consumption, which will give a surplus of hops in the old duty of 63,4361. at the close of the hop year in 1846. So that assuming the duty for 1846 to be 195,000/., it will have an aggregate of nearly two years stock on hand. But this is presuming upon the amount of the growing crop. If the duty should not prove to be greater than it is at present calculated upon, viz., 135,000/., will at once reduce the amount of stock to about seven teen mouth's consumption, with the risk remaining of another year's probable crop. The estimated duty which five or six weeks ago was under 90.0001., has now advanced to 140,0001. ; still the accounts from the heavy districts in the south are so conflicting that we cannot at present, with any degree of confidence, look forward to a large crop. No doubt. in many of the best managed grounds in Kent and Sussex, the bine is promising and healthy; but in the aggregate. and judgiug from the accounts which continue to reach us of the paucity of bine and the indiffsretit condition of many of the remainder, the planters and factors will be pleased to see 150,000/. realised upon hops of good quality. The absence of speculation during the last year, in this fluctuating article, has presented a re. markable feature—but it is principally to be accounted for by the railway market having absorbed the attention of capitalists—and the present position of the market presents an anomaly scarcely to be accounted for on reasouable grounds, that with the doubt that must still exist as to the results of the present year's growth, coupled with the fact that the stock, even of hops of a middling quality, is lighter - than for many years past, that prices should even he full 20s. per cwt. lower than at the commencement of the season last October.—Don caster Gazette. STATE OF TRADE. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.-...LEEDS, JULY 17.—The demand for wool is still confined to the immediate re quirements of the manufacturers. In prices we do not quote any alteration of moment this week, although the tendency is downward. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JULY 17.—A full average business has been done in foreign wools this week, and recent ra'es are very firmly maintained. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 16.—This market con tinues to be well supplied with wool, and a steady busi ness doing, at prices nominally the same as last re ported. - BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—WOOL.--The busi ness doing is still litnitid, and as the prices in the coun try have not been such as will meet the rates current here, it is more than probable the supply in the market will not be so ample as at present. YARNS.—There is an average business doing in general numbers of welt yarns, but we do not learn of any improvement in prices. PIECES.—The buyers, both for home trade and export, are extending their purchases, and a fair business has been done. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.— We are, if anything, progressing, though slowly, in the right direction in our cloth market. Confidence is daily on the increase, seeing Clere is now all but a certainty that the harvest will' be both early and abundant. Our home merchants are quite sanguine that flouriining times are at hand. The market closes to day very firm, and even buoyantly. -Spinners of low numbers find a brisk sale at rather higher rates, and all numbers are firm and in fair request. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY EVENING. —The sales of the week are— Friday, 4,1)00 ; Saturday, 4,000 ; Monday, 6,000 ; Tuesday, 8,000 ; Wednesday, 10,000 to 12,000 ; and to-day, 5,000 ; total, 39,000 bales. Prices fairly maintained. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.—We have this week to re cord an act of savage atrocity (says the Gloucester Journal) seldom paralleled, at least in this neighbour hood, where, we are happy to state, crimes of a very flagrant nature are by no means frequent. Alongside a meadow near the goods rail way station, runs a brook, called Poplar, which has ter years been a favourite bathing place with b o% A. This brook skirts a meadow occupied by a man named Ward, a milkman, of morose and excitable temperament, whose grass, no question, has Nen often damaged by the trespass of the juvenile bathers, a circumstance which has e ' lvon rise to frequent feuds between Ward and the b oys On Saturday ever.ing last some lads were bathing at one end of the brook whilst Ward was cutting with a seethe rough gran from the side of a footpath some distance ofh Near him were three little boys, two named Abell and one natntd Fink, all about ten or eleven years of age. These were not bathing, hut sitting on i the hank. However, Ward ordered them to go about t th t.Ar , inhaness, and hi; the lairpo , ie of going to their home's with the had :o lia•.s the spot where Ward was standit: i b n r, fir-t. and scythe in his hands.
