The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the great difficulty in carrying out the objects of the company was that they had too many parties to please. They had the authorities in Tri nidad, the Colonial-office at home, and the share holders. There were numerous references to go through, both at home and abroad, before they could bring any matter to a settlement, and this had caused considerable delay. The shareholders had taken up only 5,000 shares out of 30,000, and there was now a general wish that the company should be brought to a close. They had received £ 4 ,9 75 , had carried on the company for seven years, paying all expenses, and they had now a balance of £3,038. This would allow of a return of 10s. or 11s. per share, after paying the expenses of winding up ; and if the maps and plans could be disposed of they would have a further sum to divide. Now ready, in 2 vols., Byo., with Portrait, 305., Opening of the South London Working- Classes Taidustrial Exhibition, ment of the hours of labour and the Saturday half holiday, ' when they could turn their attention to such matters. No doubt, it was said by many that these classes would use their leisure time for bad purposes, but the present exhi bition and others which had taken place in London and elsewhere gave the lie to such assertions. (Hear, hear.) When he looked round upon the various specimens of ar tistic and mechanical skill, as well as of taste and imaghaa- respects;and still further improvements might be made. (Hear, hear.) The address which had been read alluded to the patent law. He would not enter into that difficult and intricate question, but he might observe that those who ex hibited their useful inventions would have the advantage of being known as clever men, would be taken by the hand and supported in a way that would be valuable to them in after life. (Rear, hear.) The walls before them exhibited some admirable specimens of the_work and design of very young men indeed. He hoped those young men would be encouraged as they ought to be. (Hear.) They had the op portunity here of becoming known and appreciated as young men at schools and colleges who took prizes were. There was no patent for the w or k ma n' s brains, but what his brains had done would give him an a d vantage in the world ever after. (Hear, hear.) The address made very just allusion to the benefits conferred on this and other branches of industry by, free trade. They now recognised the fact that all trades had more to gain than to lose by entering into competition and interchange, and that the ad vantages7of improvement were thus extended to all. On the subject of free trade he might remark, that a long time elapsed before that discovery—that right discovery—of free trade had been made. But it appeared by an extract from Sir W. Davenant, which, he begged leave to read, that in the year 1640 or thereabouts people were beginning to have a feeling of the advantages of free trade. He introduces a bourgeois of Paris and a citizen of London holding a con version in Rutland house, and the Parisian is made to speak thus—" You, of this noble citie, are yet to become more noble by your candour to the plea between me, a bourgeois of Paris, and my opponent of London ; being concerned in honour to lend your attention as favour ably to a stranger as to your native orator : since it is the greatest sign of a rfrrow education to permit the border of rivers, or the strands of seas, to separate the great consanguinity of mankind, though the unquiet nature of man had made them bounds to divide governments." It would be seen from this that the invention of free trade had been some time working itself out. (Hear.) All foolish jealousy was now discarded. Rivalry might exist, and with great advantage. (Hear.) There was a great difference between honest rivalry aud selfish exclusiveness. (Hear.) A little opposition was an excellent thing, for it kept people up to the mark, From her Majesty's Government down wards, he believed that everybody was the better of a little opposition. (Hear, and laughter.) The judges had gone minutely into the question of merit, and the award of prizes would soon be declared. Speaking for himself, and not for the judges, he thought that if the objects exhibited 9 t , n _PERSONS SEEKING LANDED ell t r rATEs, TOWN AND CoUNTRY REIDENCES, Pit,,,;YOLD AND LEASEHOL INVESTMENTS, AND Ts' o r-ER VIES GENERALLY— tb 11 ,E RAID GRATIS, at the principal Railway Bookstalls N o :Fil?ut the kingdom, or at the Auction and Estate Offices, 4p„ C hancery-lane, London, Messrs.

As was to be expected from the favou r w ith w hi c h suc h ex hibiti o ns have been looked upon by the general public, and the success which has attended them in other places, there is a large increase in the number of exhibitors as compared with the previous one ; while to find space for the corresponding increased number of articles exhibited, a great improve ment has been effected in the interior of the building. The number of exhibitors is stated at 633, of which 413 are stated to belong to what is called the south postal dis trict, 150 to the south-east, and 70 to the south-west, while tivo power, which he saw around him, he could not help but feeling what pleasure the production of these must have afforded to the various homes and households from which they emanated. How many anxious eyes might have looked upon some of those paintings, and how many warm and anxious hearts might have throbbed with rapture as they witnessed the completion of other works of arVand mechanical skill. Such exhibitions were an admirable m Bans of forming taste and giving expression to the power of the imagination, and the manner in which the working classes had taken advantage of them, showed that taste was not confined to any one class of the community, but that it was scattered broad-cast over the whole human family. It had been a source of great gratification to him to see that such exhibitions wore opened by prayer and praise, and he was delighted to see the Right Rev. the Bishop of the Diocese presiding over the opening of the present one. The fact that the clergy of all denominations had so readily rallied round such exhibitions, and so much encouraged them, showed conclusively that they looked upon them as an important means of promoting the education of the working classes of this country, and of doing away with that mate rialism which was so much abroad. (Hear.) They ought to be encouraged in their efforts by the manner in which the working men had themselves taken up the matte; and that was perhaps the most encouraging feature in the business, for it showed that a new era was dawning upon them, and that the working men of this country had determined that no effort should be spared to render them equal in skill and energy to their brethren throughout the world. Mr. JOHN LocKE, M.P., next addressed the meeting, and stated that he had an additional ground of gratification at seeing the sight before him over any of those who had spoken, inasmuch as a large portion of the exhibitors were his own constituents, and in whose well-beinghe felt a deep interest. A gentleman who had come over from Paris to the last Exhibition in 1862 had said that the English were only a set of western Chinese. The reason he gave for that was, that seeing the marked improvement which had taken place in articles of English manufacture in the Exhibition of 1862 over that of 1851 he attributed it to their having copied it all from the French and other foreigners, and that they were therefore simply a set of western Chinese, who could produce nothing original, but copied everything. (Hear, hear.) Now he did not think them to be copyists. Let them show that they had originality, and'ilen no one would call them western Chinese. That they had such, that exhibition amply testified, and let them go on improv ing it, and they would do honour to themselves as well as to their country. The Rev. NEWMAN HALL then addressed the assembly, and was followed by The Hon. A. KINNAIRD, M.P., who expressed the plea sure it afforded him at being present, and the gratification with whichhe had witnessed the splendid display of articles which had been provided for the exhibition. Mr. G. LUCAS then proposed the thanks of the meeting to the Bishop of Winchester for his kindness in presiding, and the able manner in which he had conducted the pro ceedings. Mr. F. H. FOWLER having seeonded the motion, it was supported and put to the meeting by Mr. F. DOULTON, M.P., and adopted with much applause. The Bishop of WINCHESTER having acknowledged the l i compliment, the proceedings terminated with the audience singing the "National Anthem." The exhibition was opened to the public at 6 o'clock, and was crowded throughout the evening. The thousand and one other attractions of the Palace in clude : —The New Picture Oaliery -The Fine Arts Courts, in variety and beauty unequalled in the world—The decorations of the Palace, with the great Christmas Tree—Shakspere House—M ontanari Models Swings, R o ondaboute, Invigo rators, and other popular Amusements—Qalleries of Models and Ships—Armour Plates and Armstrong 40-pounder lent by official authority—The extraordinary Chimpanzee— I he unique Aquariums.

The articles exhibited are classed under four heads, namely, the artistic department, which contains 220 articles ; the mechanical department, containing 210 articles ; the gene ral department, 126 ; and the department of fabrics and faney work, 77 articles. As it is, therefore, the space re quired for exhibition purposes is about 5,000 square feet of wall or hanging space, 1,200 feet run of table space of various depths, and 800 feet of floor space. To meet this increased demand for room, an additional gallery has been constructed all round the building. This erection, while it affords a large amount of additional space, tends to impart to the building an attractive and imposing appearance, and divests it altogether of its original character. It is con structed in the balcony form, displays the articles hung upon: ts exterior to the best possible advantage. Over its northern end is placed a Prince of Wales Feather—in honour, no doubt, of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who is the patron of the exhibition—tastefully ornamented with festoons and garlands, and which adds much to the genera effect of the arrangemen; of the articles as seen from the platform at the other end of the building. The original balconies, too, have been so garnished up as to make them appear in exact conformity with the new gallery erected above them, and to harmonise with the style of those new erections. Mr. RENNIE seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, and it was carried. After some opposition from Mr. CURTIS, a resolu tion was passed to the effect that the company be wound up voluntarily, and that Mr. W. Hartridge, of Old Broad-street, be the liquidator. Mr. HARTRIDGE hoped the shareholders present would attend the next meeting, which was to be held in about a month, for confirming the resolutions just passed.

Third The articles exhibited are so many and so varied in their character that it would be useless to particularise them. One thing cannot fail to strike the observer in examining several of them, and that is the vant of association between the trade or craft followed by the exhibitor and the character of the article he has constructed. There are, for instance, several beautiful inlaid tables, of a style of workmanship which would do honour to the best cabinetmakers in London, and these are said to be the wiwk of a tanner in Bermondsey. There are also several splendid models of ships, showing the most recent and improved style of modern shipbuilding, with perhaps the exception of Captain Coles' cupola ships, and these have been modelled and put together by a tailor. A hairdresser has also shown his proficiency in sculpture ; while there are many ather instances which might be named of a like character, where productions in art and science have emanated from those whose crafts and call ings might have been considered as tending to lead them from following such employment in their leisure hours. On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition yester day afternoon there was a large attendance. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Winchester took the chair soon after two o'clock, and was, among many others, accompa nied on the platform by le Right Hon. W. Cowper, Mr. John Locke, M.P., Mr. F. Doulton, M.P., the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., the Rev. J. Lingham (rector of Lambeth), the Rev. Newman Hall, the Rev. J. Bowstead, the Rev. Mr. Seton, Capt. Dresser Rogers, Mr. F. H. Fowler, Mr. George Lucas, Mr. G. M. Murphy, Mr. J. J. Frederick, &c. The inauguration proceedings were commenced by the Rev. NEWMAN HALL, giving out the Old Hundredth Psalm, which was sung by the hrge audience with fine effect. A portion of Scripture, consisting of the 111th Psalm was then read by the Rev. J. LINGRAM, and an appropriate prayer was offered up b - the Rev. J. BOWSTEAD. The Bishop of WINCHESTER then addressed the audience.

The prize money might be given to a different object, or might be kept for another day. He believed independent and honest workmen would not object to this. The prizes ought not to be made so common, or they would lose their value, and the halo which surrounded the really valuable operative would be impaired. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion he thanked the audience for the attention they had given him, and expressed his entire sympathy with the objects of the exhibition. (Hear, hear.) The Old Hundredth Psalm was then sung; after which Dr. Milman having offered up a prayer, the anthem, " Thine, 0 Lord, is the greatness," was chanted by ama teurs, who were coach operatives ; and, after "God save the Queen," the Chairman declared the exhibition to be open.

His lordship arrived punctually at 12 o'clock, thehour appointed for the opening, and having taken he chair, Mr. G. N. HOOPER, of the Haymarket, read an address on behalf of the committee of management, from which we give the following extract : " On the oCcasion of publicly opening the first industrial . Exhibition of the Operative Coachmakers of London,in this corporate hall, every one must feel that a striking contrast is presented between the present state of the coachmaking trade, and the position it occupied when the Company of Coach and Coach-harness Makers received its charter from MANCHESTER, BRIXTON, MATLOCK, AND The following bills were withdrawn :—Manchester Cen tral Station and Railway, Macclesfield and Knutsford, Manchester and Cheadle, Led bury and Tewkesbury, Devon and Somerset (Ilfracombe Harbour), and Fermoy and Lis more.

He could not, however, but look upon it as a high privilege in every sense of the word to be permitted to take part in so interest ing:a proceeding ; and when he recollected how much energy and labour and skill had been bestowed on the preparation of all these interesting articles of science and art and taste which they saw before Ahem, he considered that the individual who occupied the chair on such an occasion was but a very humble co-operator indeed in this great undertaking. Ho would say, however, that if he had not worked hitherto, as those had done who had provided those many and beautiful articles of art and science, he could say with truth that he entertained the higEest opinion of the value of their enterprise, and that he reverenced the labour, and the skill, and the energy which had produced these results. No one could have at tained to the age which he had done without having wit nessed va,st changes—changes he might say in every respect.

CHARLES EDWARD LondonMUDIE, New Oxford-street, the hands of King Charles IL, May 31st, 1669. At that period trades were mysteries and their processes secret. The present exhibition, however, illustrates a vast change, not only in the processes employed, but in the altered state of feeling on the part of employers and workmen, who now court inquiry, comparison, and inspection of their work, hoping to interest the public by showing how much inge nuity, patience, and care are necessary for the production of a first-rate carriage. Carriages of a rude and uneasy de scription were invented at a very early date, and were in use among the Israelites, Egyptians, and Assyrians, as recorded in the sacred writings and upon their sculptured monuments] The Greeks and Romans made very little improvement upon The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, alluded to the promotion by the Midland Company of a line between the Erewash Valley and Ambergate, which he believed would prove of great value to their interests. With reference to the gua rantees given by the Midland and North-Western Companies, they had heard on previous occasions remarks as to those companies having had liberally to put their hands into their pockets to make up the Matlock Company's dividends ; but he believed he might now state that the two companies would no longer have any loss to sustain, as the Matlock line was now paying its own way. Mr. BEALE, M.P., seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was carried, and the dividend of is. 4d. per share was declared.

On Nov. 22, in lat 20 and long 75 E., the S.E. trade winds failed. Thence she had light variable winds, rendering it necessary to keep the ship under steam until Dec. 7, when she made the coast of Africa off Algoa Bay. There the wind set in from S.W., and all the coal being expended it was necessary to put the ship under canvas and beat to windward, to Capetown, where she ar rived Dec. 13.

(Hear, hear.) He was not alluding to the changes which had place in respect of nations. Nations and empires sh ke ad ta ria n risen and fallen, but he was looking to those changes more immediately connected with men and man ners. He was old enough to remember the time when the different classes of society were separated from each other. Men looked at each other from a distance, and they knew little of the circumstances or feelings of each other. Still less did they know of the skill and industry which pre vailed in other countries, but which was not to be found among themselves. In this respect the change that had come over them was most marvellous, and he was sure that all classes appreciated the vast advantages which had flowed to them from this greater interchange of ideas and senti ments. If he was asked to say what class had prospered most from this change, he would say that the capital of the pillar seemed to have become more stately and garnished from the embellishments which those changes had thrown around it. It was true a poet had said— _ "Slow rises worth by poverty depressed ;" and even at the present day, while he admitted that poverty had a depressing tendency, at the same time the new state of thought and feeling which had risen up seemed, in spite of difficulties and drawbacks, to throw off that depression and to join in the sentiment of another poet, who bad said— _ " Worth makes the man, the want of it the fellow ; The rest is all but leather and prunella." 1t was therefore a matter of thankfulness that this change did not confine its operations to one class of the commu nity, but that it operated on all classes. If he wore to ad vert late Prince ltaoevent Consort who,by e highest class, he the th Greatere fo xb unEdthibgn that it was the of 1851, had inaugurated the good work in which they were now engaged. If, then, the example was thus set in the highest places of the land, he would be ungrateful if he did not admit that it had been readily and cordially followed by the employers of labour everywhere throughout the country. That was exemplified in the attention which was paid by the employers of labour in large towns to the com fort as also to the improvement of their workmen, in pro viding places for their wholesome recreation, and where they might have opportunities of improving their minds. It was also exemplified in other respects by some employers giving their workmen leisure for summer excursions ; and having a charge in ono of the Channel Islands, he could testify to the fact of some of them giving their workmen £lO for excursion purposes, having seen them enjoying the fresh air of those islands, and heard from their own lips what their masters had done for them. These workmenso highly appreciated the boon that they brought memorials of their visits to these islands home with them, and one of these in not a few instances was in the shape of a walking stick made of a substance of which walking sticks are not generally made of, viz., the cabbage tree. (A laugh.) Thsse things therefore he looked upon with feelings of great satis faction, as they could not fail to be productive of the greatest benefit to the community. The right rev. prelate concluded by expressing an earnest hope that the exhibi tion would be productive of the greatest benefit and bless ing, not only to the promoters of it, but also to the exhibi tors, and every one connected with it. Mr. G. M. MURPHY, one of the honorary secretaries, then read a prefatory statement setting forth the origin of the ex hibition, and the means which had been taken to bring it to maturity. It was stated that the guarantee fund, which it was proposed should be £l,OOO, now amounted to £l,lOB ss. 6d., the numbers of guarantors being 96, many of whom were working men. He stated at the same time that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had intended to be present, but that having to attend a Cabinet Council ho could not possibly attend. Letters of apology had also been received for Sir Charles Gilpin, Mr. Harry Chester, and Sir Thomas Phillips. The Hon. W. CowPER, M.P., next addressed the meeting, and congratulated those present on the success to which they had brought the nndertaking. It was most gratifying to see the works of so lrrge a body of their fellow working men spread out before them in the manner in which they were in that building. Such a sight was peculiarly inte resting to those who had done their utmost to obtain for the working cla#see leisure hovs 133 the shape of the curtail the Egyptian carriages, beyond inventing four-wheeled vehicles, and the art seems to have slumbered for many centuries. It revived at length and attained great excellence in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, and became spread over other countries. In the time of Queen Mary, 1556, we find mention made of a coach suspended on leather braces ; this may have been sent to her from Italy, by her relations who then ruled over that country. This was the commencement of the improvement in the art of coach building in England, and which art was soon so extensively patronised that the writers of the times foretold that the use of carriageswould enervate and enfeeble the people,who ought to be satisfied to travel on horseback as their fore fathers had done. We may congratulate ourselves, how ever, that although carriages are now in daily use by all classes of society, we see no signs of that enervation which our ancestors predicted. Since the introduction of railways, the number of carriages has multiplied to an extraordinary extent, assisted by the reduction of the tax upon them, by Mr. Gladstone, in 1853. This increase has moreover stimu lated industry and invention. The sound and honest cha racter of English carriages has long been appreciated throughout Europe and every country in the world, and for many years has secured a preference for the English trade. Our carriages have, for upwards of half a century, been considered the best in the world, both in design and dura bility.tThe idea of rewarding working men for great skill, as well as master manufacturers, is not new ; like many other seeds, designated to bear good fruit, this idea arose during the organising of the Great Exhibition of 1851. It is a matter of regret that we have not been able to promise protection and full security for inventors of new and useful improvement s . Th e patent law, as it at present exists, is both an evil and a good, the dread of exhibit ing before the invention is secured, often prevents the very exhibition in which hints for perfection might be gathered on one hand, and beneficial sale for the im provement be secured on the other by this sort of publicity. These exhibitions specially offer encourage ment for young journeymen to make known their own original ideas by drawing and models ; they can thus gain opportunities for advancement and becoming known. Had the committee been able to make the proposed exhibition more generally known, and to have given longer time to prepare objects for exhibition, a much larger number of exhibitors and interesting drawings and models would probably have been the result ; but the' near approach of the London season, during which the time and strength of both master and man are taxed to the utmost, forbade any lengthening of the time of preparation, and to defer the ex hibition to the autumn might have been to cool down the cordial and expectant feeling that had been raised. It was thought better that a small collection of objects sufficient to fill the hall, containing in itself examples of modern pro gress, with relics of the past and memorials of true excellence in the art, the whole enshrined in its fitting place of exhi bition, the hall of the Company of Coach and Coach-harness Makers, would bo better than attempting a more ambitious exhibition." The noble CHAIRMAN, in reply, said he had to congratu late the operative coachmakers of the City and of England generally on the successful start now made of an exhibition which, he trusted, would be followed by beneficial results to the coachmaking trade and to the community. It was only by making the public feel on these occasions that they were interested in these exhibitions that they could hope to meet with that support which would make them permanent institutions, as he hoped this would be. (Hear.) On the score of use there never was an epoch, when the inventions which it was the object of this exhibition to encourage were so likely to be advantageous to the public in general. In former times carriages were confined to so limited a num ber of persons that the public generally felt but little inte rest in them. But now, thanks to the prosperity which prevailed, the luxury of a carriage, he was happy to say, extended to a larger class of the community than was ever known before, and therefore there was endless opportunity for tho development of talent as applied to the trade of coachmaking. It would be difficult to enumerate the vari ous classes of carriages which were now in demand. He might, in fact, say that too much was sometimes demanded of coachmakers, and there was hardly a :limit to what people wished to have. (Hear.) No doubt that might be pushed too far. To people living in the country, and who had to travel a great distance, lightness of the vehicle was the great object ; while others might wish for strength and solidity. Many improvements bad been nude in these Mr. BANCROFT moved the re-election of Sir J. Paxton, M.P., as a director. Mr. BEALE, M.P., seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. Richardson, the retiring auditor, was re elected, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. BELFAST AND NORTHERN COUNTIES. The report of the directors states that the receipts for the past half-year amounted to £59,289, against £57,864 in the corresponding half of 1863, showing an increase of £1,425. The directors considered this a very satisfactory result when it was remem bered that the line to Londonderry by Omagh had been participating in the traffic between that city and Belfast to a greater extent than in any former half-year. The ordinary working expenses, not withstanding the increase in the traffic, were less than for the corresponding half of 1863. The ex penditure for the renewal of the permanent way was £3,490, which with the balance of £528 of last ac count, making £4,018, it was proposed to pay out of the revenue of the half-year. The state of the money market had prevented the issue of the 4f per cent. preference shares, but now that a change was likely to take place every exertion would be made by the directors to accomplish it, and relieve the company from the extra charge for interest. The balance of the revenue account, after paying all claims against it, was £20,883, out of which £4,018 was deducted for the renewed expenditure, £3,200 dividend on the 4 per cent. preference shares, £1,341 for dividend on the 4f per cent. preference shares, and £11,158 for dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, less income tax, on the ordinary shares, leaving a balance of £1,166. The lease of the Lon donderry and Coleraine Railway would terminate in April next. The directors were not aware of any arrangements being made for working the line there after, but had expressed their willingness to assist the company in every way in their power. The capital account showed that £1,111,826 had been expended. The revenue account showed that £59,289 had been received, and £24,600 expended in work ing; £5,000 was paid for rent of the Coleraine line, and £8,816 for interest on loans, leaving a balance of £20,883. TRINIDAD. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern—Mr. J. Mitche l in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the directors had forfeited all the s hares upon which the full deposit of £1 was unpaid on Feb. 28, 1860. The proprietors of 4,975 shares responded to the call and paid the £1 per share.

There are no less than 28 large panels upon this wall, which it is understood will be filled with mosaic pictures of the Sovereigns of England. The side windows will be filled with stained glass by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, while the portion of the wall beneath the windows will be decorated by Baron Thqueti in marble inlay-work. Although only a small building, the decorations will probably cost some £20,000 before they are finished, and the works will take a long time to execute. Mr. Scott is the architect, the cost of the decorations being defrayed by the Royal children. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—On Saturday afternoon, the 14th inst., a man named Frederick Hibberd, in the employ of Mrs. Pinchin, of Winsley, went to a straw rick belonging to his mistress, near the Cumberwell Turn pike-gate, on the Bath-road, for the purpose of getting some straw. When he got there he began to remove the straw, and after he had taken off some of it, to his great surprise he found a man in the rick. He looked at him and found that he breathed, and thinking he was drunk and had got there and covered himself up for shelter, he ordered him off, saying that if he did not go he would fetch a policeman. The man did not move, and as the weather was exceedingly rough, and unfit for removing the straw, Hibberd left the rick and the man, and went home. The nextmorning (Sunday) he went to the rick again for the straw, and still found the man there. He again ordered him off, but receivedno answer. He then went and got assistance of police-constable Matthews, who, on his arrival, examined the man, and found him to be in a very exhausted state and unable to speak or move. Matthews then posted off to Cumberwell Farm, and acquainted Mr. Stokes, the occupier of it. Mr. Stokes kindly lent a horse and cart to remove the man, and also accompanied the con stable back, :and administered to him some brandy and water, and after some time he spoke. He then gave the following account of himself :—" He said his name was Thomas Williams, andthat he was 60 years of age ; he was a native of Queenstown, in Ireland, but had lived in Eng land nearly all his lifetime, having come over when he was quite a boy. The last food that he had taken was on the 6th of January, when he was at Trowbridge, and was re lieved at the police-station. On the next day, the 7th, he left Trowbridge for the purpose of going to Bristol, and passed through Bradford. On the evening of that day, about dusk, he turned into this straw rick for a night's shelter, and covered himself over with straw, and during the night he was taken very ill and was unable to move, but his senses never forsook him. He had neither ate nor drunk anything since. After this statement he was re moved to the workhouse at Avoncliffe, and every attention paid him, and he is now recovering. His appearance when found indicated that he had suffered from want of food and exposure for some time, being in a most exhausted state ; he was also wet and filthy. A man answering his descrip tionrd was relieved on the 6th January at the Trowbridge police station, and he was seen at Bradford th e next day, but had not been seen since. According to he must have lain in the rick from the 7 t h to 15th Janu ary without food or water.— Wiltshire lrulependent. d for FOUR HUNDRED GIRLS. was his n ot prepare statement the extraordinary sight which b u rst upon me in this grand transformation.
