CORN EXC HAN GE—FRIDAY. , Although several fresh parcels of English Wheat have been received for our market since Monday, the show of samples of that grain this morning was small ; never theless, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the tall in the duty onForeign Wheat to 4s per quarter, was in a very sluggish state, and, where sales were pressed, rather lower figures were submitted to. Upwards of 21,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in this week. As the importers are now releasing their stocks for home consumption, the quantity on offer to-day was large. There was very little inquiry for any quality, and the inferior sorts must be called 1s per quarter cheaper. For all kinds of Barley the demand was in a very inactive state ; and late rates were not supported. Scarcely any English Barley was on show. The sale for Malt was extremely dull, and prices receded is per quarter. The best parcels of Oats were quite as dear. Otherwise the Oat trade was dull. In Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, next to nothing was doing. I Wheat. I Barley. Oats. Flour. 3,1580 qrs. 330 qrs. 550 Ors. 1,911 eke , ib,220 -- English • • •• • • " .". --- Foreign ......

Notwithstanding our market to-day was but mode rately supplied with Beasts, both as to number and quality, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at in some instances a further decline in the value of the inferior breeds of 2d per 81b. At least a moiety of the Bullock supply was the refuse of Monday. The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the decrease compared With those exhibited on this day se'nnight; nevertheless, the Mutton trade was very dull, at barely the late de pression in value. Lambs, the number of which was by no means large, were a mere drug, at almost nominal currencies. The supply of Calves was again extensive, owing to which the Veal trade was heavy, at a decline in prices of quite 2d per 81b. In Pigs very little busi ness was transPeted, at our quotations.

HOIZOUGH HOP MARKET. Our market is somewhat heavily supplied with new Hops, upwards of 1,200 pockets having arrived from Kent and Sussex since the commencement of picking, while the demand for them is in a sluggish state, at prices varying from 56s to 66s per cwt. In yearling and old Flops so little business is doing that the quotations are almost nominal. The duty is estimated at from 205,0001 to 210,000/. COLONIAL.

Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Williams took their seats on the bench at ten minutes after ten o'clock. Immediately after the undermentioned persons were placed at the bar, on the following charge, as stated in the calendar—" That they did feloniously compass, imagine, invent, devise, and intend to levy war against her Ma jesty, within that part of the United Kingdom called England, in order by force and constraint to compel her to change her measures and counsels:"— Joseph Ritchie, 42, bricklayer; Alfred Able, 23, porter; William Gurney, 42, shoemaker; John Shep herd, 34, tailor; James Snowball, 32, joiner ; James Richardson, 30, joiner ; George Greenslade, 30, shoe maker; Henry Small, 31, joiner; Edward Scadding, 28, brassfounder; William Burn, 44, shoemaker; Phelps Martin, 45, newsman; William Lacy, 38, bootmaker; Thomas Fay, 20, closer; Thomas Jones, 32, shoemaker; Charles Young, 38, shoemaker, and Henry Argue, 23, shoemaker. Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the first five pri soners, applied to have their trials postponed until the neat session, on the ground that they had not had suffi cient time to prepare their defence and to obtain the attendance of witnesses whom they considered material. The Learned Counsel read an affidavit of Mr. Robert's, of the Adelphi and M anchester, the solicitor to the pri soners, who stated that he had not had sufficient time to prepare the defence. The affidavit, which was very voluminous, declared that it was necessary to subpoena several witnesses from Manchester, that until a very recent period he was ignorant whether the prisoners were to be indicted separately or jointly. He (Mr. Ballantine) could corroborate the truth of tho statement, since he him self had not had his brief in time to enable him to devote that attention to it which was necessary in a case of this im portance—important alike to the present generation and posterity. He did not make any application to admit the prisoners to bail, and they were perfectly secure, since they were confined in her Majesty's gaol of New gate. He merely asked the Court to apply the same rule to this case as was invariably conceded in cases of felony; but, considering this was a Government prosecu tion, he hoped the Attorney General would nut oppose the application. Mr. HODDLESTONE made a similar application on be half of Small, Scadding, and Martin. Mr. PARRY did so on behalf of Young and Argue ; Greenslade and Burn, for whom he appeared, were pre pared to be put on their trial. The depositions were only delivered the night before last. The Attorney-General, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bod kin appeared for the Crown. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL opposed the application. The prisoners were taken into custody early in August, and were committed on the 31st of that month, now nearly a month ago. He could not understand how the attorney could state that he was ignorant of the exact charges against the prisoners. Why, he could have ascertained the exact nature at least on the 31st of Au gust, and the charges were clearly specified when the prisoners were before the magistrate. Ile had had ample time to prepare their defence. It was remarkable that he did not name the persons he stated so necessary for the defence of the prisoners. The Learned Counsel was very much mistaken if he imagined that posterity was so deeply interested as he seemed to suppose in the conduct of this case. It would tie opposed to all the rules of criminal jurisprudence to try two prisoners, postponing the trials of the others in cluded in the same indictment. Mr. Justice ERLE agreed with the Attorney-General that such a course was most unusual. Mr. BALLANTINE, in reply, repeated that the applica tion was not made on factious but upon substantial grounds. It was not unlikely an attempt would be made to connect the prisoners with the recent atrocities in the north. Now, would it not be most unjust to debar the prisoners from showing by persons from these districts that they were wholly unconnected with them? Mr. Justice ERLE, having consulted with Mr. Justice Williams for some moments, inquired if there were any counsel for the other prisoners? Mr. KINNEALY said he appeared for Dowling, who was ready to be put on his trial. Mr. Justice ERLE inquired if he had any objection to urge against the postponement of that prisoner's trial. Mr. KINNEALY replied that he had not; but he bad a strong objection to his client remaining in custody if the trial of the other prisoners did not come on. Mr. PARRY was understood not to oppose the appli cation on the part of Greenslade and Burn. Mr. Justice ERLE said he had consulted his brother Williams, and they were of opinion that the trials of the prisoners should be postponed. It appeared quite sufficient for the administration of justice, that where grave charges of this description were brought forward no ground whatsoever should exist for contending that they were not fully and thorougly inquired into. It was necessary, in justice to the prisoners, that all facts and all witnesses, especially those considered likely to enhance the case of the defendants, should be brought forward and listened to by the jury that was to decide upon the matter, inasmuch as the postponement of their trials would not be for a long period, and inasmuch as the parties would be forthcoming to be brought forward to take their trials, and further be was disposed to accede to the application as he understood the prisoners ready to take their trials were willing to give bail to surrender at the proper time. Ile thought no public inconvenience would be suffered by the postponement of the trial. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL intimated that it was not his intention to call witnesses from Manchester. He ap prehended that the trial might be proceeded with this session—on Monday, for instance, as before that day any number of witnesses could be procured from Man chester. Mr. Justice ERLE agreed with the Learned Counsel that postponing the trial till Monday would give the pri soners ample time to procure witnesses from the north. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not intend to show any acts at Manchester. He would not say that he should not call witnesses from that town. Mr. Justice ERLE repeated that Monday would give the prisoners ample time. Mr. STRAIGHT then proceeded to read the indictment. Mr. KINNEALY said he possessed the right of having the indictment read three times. Mr. Justice ERLE said he had considered the point, and the prisoners were only entitled to have it read once slowly. Mr. KINNEALY inquired if his Lordship meant to say that he did not possess the right at common law? Mr. Justice ERLE—That which I have stated I have decided. Mr. KINNEALY cited several cases in which the in dictment had been read twice and thrice. Mr. Justice ERLE remarked that that occurred when the indictment was not in the English language. Mr. BALLANTINE here interposed. Ile said he bad consulted the Attorney-General, and he declared most solemnly that he could not be in readineks by Monday. He sought the postponement of the case until the next toniOne THE SUN, LONDON, The ATTORNEY. GENERAL said, if the application was granted, it would be fraught with the most fatal conse quences to the peace of the country. Mr. Justice ERLE repeated that Monday would give ample time. Mr. Straight then rer.d the indictment, and the pri soners all pleaded "Not Guilty." Mr. KINNEALY then applied for a list of the jurors. Mr. Justice EIILE— I refuse the application. I feel bound to conduct this case on the rules applicable to ordinary c9ses of felony. Can you satisfy me that you possess this right? Mr. KINNEALEY said ho should show no mercy to the Crown, but should oppose it in every way in his power by availing himself of the forms of the court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with much warmth)—The Learned Counsel having stated that he shall factiously oppose the Crown, I shall stand upon my right, and pro ceed with the trial of Dowling now.—(Much surprise.) The other prisoners were then taken below. William Dowling, 24, artist, a respectably-attired young man, was then put forward to take his trial on a similar charge, Mr. KINNEALEY then applied for a list of the names. Mr. Justice ERLE—I am of opinion that you have no right. On Mr. Miller, Preston, taking the book, the Learned Counsel proposed to ask him if he was a special con stable. The COURT considered that he had no right to ask the question. Mr. KINNEALT said it seemed it was not considered sufficient to take away the rights of Englishmen by the Act under which the prisoner was indicted, but this right must also be taken away. Mr. Preston, Mr. Miles, and several others, to the number of 14, having been challenged, were not sworn. A jury having been sworn, and the prisoner indicted, The ATTORNEY•GENERAL proceeded to state the case against the prisoner. This was the first instance of a person being put on his trial under the " Act for the Better Security of the Crown and Government." Before the passing of that Act, the prisoner, instead of being indicted for felony, would have stood before them charged with high treason, the consequences of a con viction of which were most penal. The alteration of the law was no doubt an act of mercy towards those weak, vainglorious persons anxious to become martyrs on the altar of their country. If it was opposed to the altered and modified spirit of the law to let a fatal result follow the machinations laid to the charge of the prisoner, yet, however penal might be the result of a conviction of the prisoner, he believed they could not, en the solemnity of their oaths, hesitate to discharge their duties. There would be this satisfaction in this single trial, that the other pri soners would learn the exact charge that would be made against them on Monday. The prisoner was a young man who had lived in a higher sphere of life than those with whom they had ordinarily to deal. He was well educated, respectably connected, and, he had been told, an artist of considerable talent; and had he pursued his profession instead of mixing himself up in a felonious conspiracy, doubtless he would have obtained a high position. He did not complain of his taking a part in political matters—of that there could be no ground for complaint— but of conspiring with others to menace the Throne and the Government. At the time the of fence was committed Ireland was in open rebellion, and the Chartists, taking advantage of that, formed themselves into confederate clubs and class leaders, in which they were joined by Irish confederates, with the view of causing a general rising, and crippling, by dispersing, the forces of the country. The prisoner was secretary to a club called '•Davis Club," and reports of whose proceedings were found at the prisoner's lodgings. The Learned Counsel then read the minutes, from which it appeared that Mr. Kennealy, the ,barrister, moved a resolution deprecating physical force and pikes, and in favour of resting upon legal and constitutional means—to which the prisoner moved an amendment, that " it be postponed till the day of judgment," which was agreed to. The Learned Counsel detailed the pro ceedings of the club, which it sppeared appointed a " Plotting Committee," and the part the prisoner had borne in them, which are detailed in the subjoined evi- dence. Joseph Thompson was one of the police, No. 11 letter F. On the night of the 20th of August, in consequence of information he had received he apprehended the pri soner at the bar in Lambeth-walk. He found a letter upon him, which he produced. Ho told him that he wanted to apprehend him on a charge of felony. He asked if wit ness had a warrant for it, to which witness replied it was not necessary es it was on a charge of felony. The prisoner said very well, his name was William Dowling. Witness then took a pocket-book from him contailarg a letter. The prisoner said, I suppose you will not teke that from me, as it is only from a private friend. He gave his address No. 5, Nassau-street, Lambeth. Witness searched the prisoner's room tht re, and found all the papers he now pro duced. Among them were two receipts for the making of gunpowder, and a book. The letter found upon him was marked No. 1, and the book No. S. There were also a number of cards found of admission to the Davis Club ; also a book endorsed to the National Defence Club; a paper entitled the "De fence Club Account ;" also a letter addressed to Mr. McManus, and several other documents. Cross-examined by Mr. KINNEALY—Witness appre hended the prisoner in consequence of information re ceived from the police constable. There were other con stables with him at the time. Never offered 20 guineas or 30s. to any person who would inform him where the pritoeer was to be found. Mrs. Jarvis was the wife of the landlord of No. 5, Nassau street, Middlesex Hospital. The prisoner occupied apartments in her house, the second floor back. She pointed out the room occupied by the prisoner to the officer who took him into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. KINNEALY—The prisoner was a quiet young man. Mr. Chubb, a solicitor of Gray's-inn, knew the prisoner. Had often corresponded with him, and be lieved the writing in the hook produced to be in his hand-writing principally. The entry on Friday, the 16th of June, he believed to be in his handwriting, with the exception of the last four lines. The books of appointment of collectors of sections for the Davis Club were also in the handwriting of the prisoner. The whole of the entries under the 10th, 12th, 14th, 17th, and 19th of July witness believed to be in the prisoner's handwriting. The entries of the 15th, 17th, and 19th of May were also in the prisoner's handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. KINNEALY—Had known the prisoner a year and a half. lle was a most respectable young man, and a very talented portrait painter. He had never heard him speak disloyally, and he had al ways conducted himself as a good subject of the Queen. lle was a person of mild manners and temper. The Court here adjourned for a short time. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir J. KEY.) Henry Curzon, aged 24, described in the calendar as a labourer, was indicted with stealing two silver spoons and a timepiece, value 9/., the property of Wm. Bennett, in his dwelling-house. The prisoner was tried yesterday, and acquitted upon a point of law, of stealing 91., the property also of Mr. Bennett. a zo p„u l pme ' e r eea u irri i - i c : sdtt t r h teht : i t::e ct t iiesomhreseistatementsnea3tnidndoao down. hnae t .hrve, husbandsiv vs,• vessel l f a e ttr o ha f de r t i h t g e prosecutor, it residedsbndnwt between No. E s h g 3 e: Eng lund ?nd Irela.nd, and that the prisoner was their cousin by marriage, and lodged with them.

He returned in the course of the afternoon, and then said that he was going out, and should be detained late, and wished to have the street door key, this the witness refused, stating that her sister would sit up for him. About eleven o'clock the •came home, and stated that he had seen n leap from t he to p of the street ptilt°)sro,neali men that he had found they had been into his room and broke open his box, and taken away the money h e had been entrusted with for the rent.

NATIONAL FETE AT BOULOGNE SUR-MER. WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The town of Boulogne has really distinguished itself to-day in a manner which could not have been anticipated even by the most san guine lovers of popular amusements. The prepara tions were all upon a scale of elegance and complete ness, but the entertainments of the first two days, Monday and Tuesday, were certainly not such as to lead one to suppose that the concluding part of the fete would produce a universal feeling of satisfaction in the public mind. The result, however, of this day's proceedings has been that Boulogne has raised itself to a most enviable height in the opinion of the French nation. Paris has always been renowned for its fetes and popular demonstrations, but no one could have supposed that the smaller towns in France were ca pable of emulating the metropolis with such taste and vigour as the Boulonnais have displayed to-day. The amusements of the two preceding days were confined to regattas, donkey-races, duck-hunting, greasy pole climbing, street music, bats champetres, and various other modes of enjoyment hich appeal to the general taste of holiday-makers, but it would seem that these were only intended to prepare the people for some thing magnificent by way of finale to the entertain ments. The town has presented a scene to-day which even the Parisians who, during the last six months, have had some experience in exhibitions of this kind, will remember with pleasure and contentment. The fete of to-day has, moreover, proved of considerable importance in a national point of view, for it has af forded to the inhabitants of the various towns between this and Paris an opportunity of fraternizing together after the sad events of June, which had called forth the patriotism of every province in France. During the revolution of June the National Guards of Bou logne rendered themselves conspicuous by the gene rous manner in which they volunteered their services, and the present fete has enabled the National Guards of Paris to testify their appreciation of those services. True, many of the officers who had arrived from the metropolis were compelled to return, because the " authorities" had omitted to provide accommodation for them ; but those who remained have seen and heard sufficient to repay them for all their trouble and expense. It appears that on Monday' evening some two or three hundred of the National Guards from Paris took the opportunity offered to them of paying a visit to England. The majority did not go farther than Dover, where they passed several hours in social companionship with the British troops. England and France were thus brought together in terms of the strongest amity ; and the Parisians returned to their own country full of gratitude and good liquor. The English soldiers, in fact, gave them a most welcome reception, and when the parting took place the repre sentatives of each nation were convinced that no two countries were ever further removed from war than are at this moment France and England. The cries of " Vive l'Angleterre et la France," has resounded in all quarters, and the English ladies at preseet staying in the town have been extremely bountiful in their distribution of bouquets amongst the National Guards and troops of the line. The rappel was sounded at an early hour this morning, and before 10 o'clock the streets were all alive with excitement and expectation. A grand cortege was announced to take place at 12 o'clock, and every window in the principal thoroughfares was occupied by gaily dressed ladies, all of whom were prepared with nose gays wherewith to honour the soldiers as they passed. The procession started from the upper town at twelve o'clock, and proceeded along the Grande Rue towards the point where it had been arranged that the prizes won by the victors in the different games which I have mentioned in my former letters should be dis tributed. The National Guards a cheval, drum majors, sapeurs, artillerymen, National Guards a pied, soldiers of the line, vivandieres, and several bands of music belonging to the different companies of Guards, took part in the procession, and at certain intervals the monotony of bayonets and military ac coutrements was relieved by the appearance of cars drawn 'by horses, and ornamented with banners and Republican insignia. These cars were designed to represent the triumph of commerce, of agriculture, and of liberty. The char de r agriculture excited uni versal admiration, and justly so, for it was arranged in the most tasteful and appropriate manner. The machine was filled with corn-sheaves, hay, and other agricultural products, and placed in such a manner as to produce an effect that was really beautiful. At each coaner of the car was a cornucopia, with flowers streaming from it, and at the top of all were a plough, a scythe, and other instruments of husbandry, decorated with the colours of the Republic. Behind the car walked in procession a cluster of little girls dressed in white, and ornamented with a profusion of flowers. I need hardly say that the enthusiasm of the people at this moment was unbounded. There was scarcely a spectator present who would not willingly have forgone all that he had previously seen to have been able to encore this part of the procession. The band played "Le Marseillahe," " Mourir pour la Petrie," and other patriotic airs, and every man cried, " Vive la Republique," or " Vive la France." These cries were responded to by the spectators at the windows, and the general effect was such as cannot easily be conceived except by persons well conversant with the ability of the French nation for enacting scenes of this description. The Republic seemed to be firmly established in the hearts of all, and the union of France and England was held to be henceforth essential to the happiness and well-being of both countries. The procession continued its march to the column of Napoleon, which is pretty generally known to be situated on the Calais road, about a mile from the market-place in the upper town. The appearance of the road and the surrounding fields was a most im posing sight. Thousands of people had assembled at the gates before the column, where preparations had been made for a bat.quet, to which all the National Guards and soldiers of the line were invited. Tables were arranged in the square plot of ground, in the centre of which stands the monument, and I was in formed that there was accommodation for 6,000 per sons. There were no seats prepared, but those who came to partake of the feast, though much fatigued by their day's work, were so completely bent upon enjoying themselves, that they were well content to drink the "cup of friendship" standing. Every man seemed resolved to be happy, and there was not a single incident calculated to mar the good feeling that existed amongst all. After the ban quet various toasts were proposed, and sundry speeches were made in honour of the republique lion nete. The most important speech on the occasion was that delivered by the Prefect of Boulogne. This gentleman expressed himself in very strong language upon the necessity of maintaining peace with all na tions, and more especially with England, whose gra cious Sovereign, he stated, had won the highest enco miums from France for the manner in which she had acted towards the new Republic. lie concluded by proposing the union of France and England, and the health of Queen Victoria. The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and was re sponded to by an Englishman, who, the better to be heard, as he spoke in his own language, mounted upon a table and addressed the meeting with much good taste on the policy of the two nations con tinuing to live in peace and amity. Those of the National Guards who had been amongst the visitors to Dover were greatly delighted at meeting many Englishmen at the banquet, and the reporters for the London press were received with unusual favour and enthusiasm. We were indebted to M. Sansot, Colonel of the National Guards of Boulogne, for his politeness in giving us admission, and for the complimentary way in which he was pleased to express himself to wards the English nation. "L'union fait la force," he said, and he was firmly impressed with the con viction that if England and France stood by each other they had nothing to fear from any opposing power. The scene which took place immediately after the men had satisfied their appetites, was such as could be witnessed in France alone. By this time the grounds were opened for t he admission of the public, and the majority of the company joined in a dance, the band of the National Guards sup plying the necessary music. Many hundreds of people, amongst whom were ladies dressed after the most approved fashion, were dancing ensemble , and the peculiarity of the scene was greatly increased by the fact that it was quite unpremeditated. The sound of the music amongst such mercurial subjects was sufficient to set them all on the tiptoe of excite ment, and they could no more have refrained from dancing than a man touched by an electric spark could avoid a convulsive movement. The exhibition lasted for upwards of an hour, and the cortege then proceeded on its return to Boulogne. The ga i e ty of the town has been kept up throughout the evening, and the houses, as well as all the triumphal arches, have been most brilliantly illu minated, according to the mode at present in vogue in this country—that is to say, with paper lanterns of different colours so blended together as to produce a very harmonious effect. In order to add still more to the glories of the day, a splendid balloon was prepared on the Capicure side of the harbour, which attracted a great concourse from its stupendous size and gay appearance. About a quarter past four o'clock in the afternoon Monsieur Godard prepared for the ascent. It was reported that his lady would accompany bim, but, as discretion is the better part of valo ur, the wife, very prudently, thought it was better to remain on shore than tempt the perilous journey of air and ocean; whereupon Monsieur Godard went aloft alone in his boat like car, and truly the ascent was splendid in the extreme—with a clear blue sky, and golden sun throwing its radiance all around. Every thing conspired to render the ascent at once imposing and magnificent, as the balloon slowly and majestically rose, towering over the basin of the harbour, amid the applauding shouts of thou sands gazing with wonderment and delight at the novel scene ! Presently the balloon ascended above hing the bewildering gaze the town and heights, catc FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1848, of the country people, and summoning up the cheers and admiration of the many thousand soldiers, National Guards, and civilians congregated around the column of Napoleon ! As the balloon continued to rise, its tendency was seaward, for the wind, hardly felt in the harbour, being off the land, was more sensibly felt as it sailed onwards, and in about eight minutes it was more than two miles at sea. This awakened some concern on shore, for no boat was sufficiently near to render assistance in the event of its immediate de scent. There were several sailing boats at sea, and two steamers at anchor outside the harbour, but having no steam up I Presently the balloon was seen to be slowly descending, with flags waving from the basket, and in about five minutes it floated quietly on the bosom of a smooth sea. The excitement on land was now intense—boats hurried out of the harbour, but the balloon was three miles off I One sailing boat was seen to be making great exertions to leeward, while two others, more distant, struggled on to the rescue. What are the steam boats about ? was the indignant exclamation, when in a little time the black smoke of the Ondine Was seen with joy. But in the meantime M. Godard and the balloon might be last. Impatience and anxiety were now at their height. The steamer was off, but before she got out half way the lee ward beat got up to the balloon, which still kept afloat with apparently all its gas in full volume. The other two boats rapidly closed, and the voyager and balloon were saved some minutes before the steamer arrived, much to the satisfaction of the be holders. In the evening Captain Tune, of the City of Boulogne steamer, added to the gaiety of the har bour—where the vessels were decked out in all the colours of the rainbow—by a splendid display of fireworks, which lasted upwards of an hour. The effect was dazzling in the extreme ; and much praise was bestowed on the gallant Captain for his spirited liberality in assisting so materially to wind up the grandeur of a fete which will be long and gratefully remembered in Boulogne. The last scene of all, which ends this eventful day, was a public ball in the Tintelleries, the admission to which was fixed at so low a price (10 sous) that people of every grade and denomination were enabled to attend. The ground has been very tastefully arranged for the occasion, and the greatest pains have been taken to secure a happy termination to the fete. The dancers are still (twelve o'clock, r.ai.) actively engaged, and are likely to be so until daylight shall warn them that it is time to re tire. The majority of the National Guards from Paris will return home to- night, and to-morrow the town of Boulogne will be restored to its usual quietude. Everybody is well satisfied with the suc cess of the national fete, and many persons are much richer than they were a few days ago, for thousands of money-spending people have been attracted from all quarters.

ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY OF LEEDS AND DISTRICT. On Wednesday morning this contest was resumed. The Leeds side headed their opponents by four runs upon the first innings, and in the end they vanquished the Eleven by fourteen wickets. The final score stood thus:—All England, first innings, 117; second innings, 63. - Leeds, first innings, 121; second innings (with four teen wickets to go down), 60. The Eleven were thus defeated by fourteen wickets. Yesterday the Eleven would commence their match at Leamington, where vast preparations have been made for their reception. ELEVEN OF THE SURREY GROUND v. GRAVESEND. This match was commenced yesterday at Gravesend. The ground was not in the best order, which to a certain extent will account for the unusually small scores. The balls jumped about so much, that batsmen as well as the field were constantly at a loss as to the way in which they should meet the ball. When our account left the scene of action the Gravesend had been got down for 59 runs. The match will be continued this morning. Sir Charles Napier arrived in Cheltenham yester day morning, a house having been previously engaged for him in Imperial-square. On Saturday, a rare specimen of the Lepidoden dron, with attached pidostrobus, was found by two pupils of the Southern Actidc my, George-square, Edin burgh, in a bed of bituminous shale, laid open by the Water of Lea, near Slateford.—Scotch Paper. WILSON'S FAREWELL in'EXET.R- HALL. Last night Mr. Wilson, in saying farewell to his friends, was honoured by a brilliant and fashionable audience, among whom were many very distin guished personages; the large hall, indeed, was com pletely crowded, and one could not help wondering, in this dull season, when everybody is out of town, where so many people came from. The remark was very generally made, in gazing on the immense crowd, that no other man than Wilson could have found so many persons to rally round him at this time. The entertainment went off most enthusiasti cally, and afforded much gratification to the audi ence, as it must have done to the vocalist himself, to think that himself alone drew such a crowd of people together, who applauded to the echo his every effort: Wilson was in fine voice, and gave all his ssngs with even more than his accustomed excellence. His organ, more remarkable perhaps for sweetness and purity of tone, than loudness, resounded with brilliant effect through the vast area of the hall, and he could not have made a more successful appearance. The pro grarne contained many of his finest songs, among which were "Caller Herring" (encored) ; " Young Lochinvar i " which he renders very effectively, and which was vociferously demanded a second time, but which he wisely excused himself from repeating, and introduced one more easy to himself ; " Love wakes and weeps," a most charming song, and beautifully given. The first part finished with the humorous song of "John Grumlie," and the second part com menced with " Lord Ullin's Daughter," which was splendidly sung, and the effect was aided not a little by the excellent manner in which Mr. Jolley played the accompaniment. In this part were several of his humorous songs, such as " Hame cam our Gudeman at E'en," " Tak yer auld cloak aboot ye," " Get up and bar the door," &c., which were all given by him as graphically as ever. After singing all the songs in the programme, as well as some which were not in it, Mr. Wilson took leave of his friends in the follow ing words : " Ladies and gentlemen,—Before you depart, 1 11 hope you will allow me to express to you the grati tude feel for the kind and encouraging part which you have taken in the proceedings of this evening. I am about to leave for a time the land I love—l do not mean only the land of brown heath and shaggy wood—my own loved Scotland—but England too, good old England, where I have met so much success since I began to make her sons and daughters ac quainted with the homely strains of the 'north countrie.' I have for several years received very pressing invitations to visit America, where I have many excellent friends, and I have at length made up my mind to cross the broad Atlantic. I have every reason to hope that, in my progress through the United States, I shall meet many of my own countrymen, who may not be unwilling to listen to the songs of their fatherland in the country of their adoption ; for there is an indescribable charm in national songs when heard at a distance from one's own land ; as a young officer wrote in India many years ago, . The sa — nis of auld Scotland are sweet 'midst the scene, _ _ But oh, could you hear them when seas roll between, 'Tie then, and then only, the heart can divine The charms that are hid in the sangs o' langsyne: I beg again to thank you for your patronage of this evening, and for that which I have enjoyed for so many years. The encouragement I have received shall be my guiding star in my new path, and will also form one of the most pleasing reminiscences of my life. To leave my country would be sad indeed were it not lightened by the cheering hope of returning, and singing once more among you my native songs. Think sometimes, amidst mightier musical matters, of the humble songs of auld Scotland, and dinna forget him whom you have so often listened to singing them. I must now speak the bitter word, which Ido with a grateful and fervent heart—Farewell, farewell !" There was now a general shout for " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," which Wilson gave magni ficently, and retired amidst the cheers of an audience as thoroughly delighted as ever audience was, and who breathed Bon voyage to Scotia's Minstrel. We understand Mr. Wilson goes to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Carlisle, Leeds, and some other towns in the north, and sails by the Niagara steamer on Saturday, the 7th of October. (From the Herald.) Mr. Wilson, relying on his honourably-earned re putation, and undismayed by the unfashionable period of the year, last night gave his farewell entertainment at Exeter Hall, and his appearance was hailed enthu siastically. The undertaking was a bold one, but it was attended with great success, for the hall was crowded in every part, in front of the orchestra as well as the north and south galleries, and many parties were seated on the orchestral benches behind the singer. We never beheld a more elegant audience in the hall. Mr. . Wilson was in good voice, and exe cuted the various songs contained in the programme with great spirit. In the first part of the entertainment the song of 1 " WWII buy Caller Herring" was rapturously en i cored. Who can fail to appreciate the beauty of Nathaniel Gow's composition ? "Young Lochinvar" and " Love wakes and weeps" were judiciously intro duced, and were sweetly given. The humorous ballad of the mishaps of " John Grumlie" closed the first part of the entertainment, and excited great mirth. The second act commenced with the ballad of " Lord Ullin's Daughter," into which Mr. Wilson throws much dramatic effect ; indeed the air, as he sings it, is very different from the common-place ditty which we have heard elsewhere. By special request, "Ye Banks and Braes" was sung; and this...was followed by the exceedingly droll ballads of " Hame cam our Gudeman," end the " Laird o' Cockpen," which would both have been encored but for an appeal made by Mr. Wilson. " Get up and bar the door" and " Wha wad na' fecht for Charlie" closed the entertainment. The cheering having subsided, Mr. Nilson delivered the farewell address, which was followed by hearty cheers. The audience comprised about 2,000 persons. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—The West India mail, due by the Severn steam-ship, Captain Vin cent, it is now ascertained cannot arrive here ,in ordinary course, for some days to come. It appears that the Teviot, with the outward mails, when about 300 miles beyond Bermuda, cracked the eve of her starboard wing lever, and her commander, knowing it to be useless to proceed on the voyage in such a crippled state, immediately put back to Bermuda, got coaled up, and was ready to proceed to England with the Severn's mails, on her arrival at that port from Mexico. The Severn would then take on the Teviot's outward mails, and complete the intended voyage of that ship. It is hardly possible to state with accuracy when the Teviot may be expected, but it is beyond a doubt that she cannot reach England for some days to come. It may perhaps be necessary to state, for the information of those having friends on board, that not the slightest danger is to be anticipated in con sequence of the accident. The only difference is, that the voyage must necessarily be somewhat longer from Bermuda. The Reindeer and Eagle, two of the Company's intercolonial steam-ships, are hourly expected. They were to leave St. Thomas's on the 17th ult. The object of their coming home is to undergo repair and alterations. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. 21 THE Linitenv.—The usual quarterly notice has been issued requiring the return of all books to the library on or before Friday, the 29th inst., under the customary penalties for neglect.

ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.--The Rev. Henry Bailey, Fellow, has been appointed Hebrew Lecturer of the above society. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—The Commissioners of Sewers held a meeting yesterday, at the offices, in Greek-street, Soho, for the dispatch of general business. The Hon. F. Byng presided, and the others present were Viscount Ebrington, Mr. E. Chad wick, Dr. Southwood Smith, Professor Owen, Mr. Hut ton, Mr. Leslie, and Mr. Puckle. The commission as at present constituted, being about to be modified under the Act recently passed, a resolution was adopted for re quiring all claims against the past and the existing com missioners to be sent in without delay. During the period when the checques for ordinary payments were being signed, it appeared that there was one for the an nuitants for 1901. Mr. Hutton objected to the practice of the sum being granted in gross ; and, after some dis cussion, it was resolved that cheques should be signed for the amount due to each annuitant, and that the old practice should be discontinued. It being stated that the financial arrangements relative to the charges for emptying cesspools, and the collection of the moneys were in an unsatisfactory state, it was resolved, upon the motion of Mr. Chadwick, that Mr. Hertslet, the clerk, should report upon the subject. A fine of 501. upon the owner of property in Beresford-street, Newington, for an encroachment upon the sewers, was ordered to be confirmed, unless it was removed in the course of a week. The Commissioners then adjourned for three weeks. BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—Yester• day evening a meeting of directors of this institution was held at their Committee-room, in Paternoster-row, for transacting general business. The report congratulated the members on the increasing prosperity of the institu tion, there baying during the past year been upwards of 1,0001. added to the permanent fund, although every ap. plication for assistance had been met with liberality.

A small batch of them have very recently been compelled to accept the gratuity of 50L allowed them by the Treasury, and leave the service. These were all juniors, who had not been in the Pest office service ten years; some of these have been offered, and have accepted, the situations of post-men. It is now intended to induce some of the senior guards to retire from the service upon a superannuation allowance of 7s. 61. a week. The guards, however, are about to peti tion the Postmaster-General for a higher scale of allow ance. It appears that formerly, when mail guards be came aged and infirm, they used to be appointed to situations where the duties were easy, upon lull salaries, and when they were really obliged to retire from the service altogether 7s. 6d. a week was considered a suffi cient pension. The Treasury scale of wages for mail guards is 701. a year for those Rho have been in the service under three years ; 1001. for those who have been in between three and ten years; 1151. between ten and fifteen years, and 1301. above fifteen years. When a guard is laid up through illness he only gets 10s. 6d. a week, and when temporarily out of employment through the cessation of a mail-coach he is obliged to perform duties in the Lon don eost office for 12s. a week. It appears that, with the exception of a single instance, no guard was ever convicted of a breach of trust whilst performing his duties. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL.—On Wednesday night, between 10 and a ll o'clock, a fire, which threatened the most serious consequenceF, broke out on the pre mises of Mr. Richards, an extensive paper manufacturer, in Tower-lane. Information having been given by the police to the central station, Captain Fisher, the super intendent, Inspectors Webb, Bile, and Bosworth, 12 ser geants, and a large body of the constabulary, were quickly on the spot, but the fire had by that time obtained such power that it was not extinguished till a large amount of property was destroyed. It was only by the most unre mitting exertions of the firemen and police, assisted by a large body of the inhabitants, that the extensive soap manufactory of Messrs. Cox and Shaw, immediately con tiguous, was saved. It is not yet ascertained whether the premises and stock were insured. The cause of the fire has not been discovered.

THE LATE DESPERATE SUICIDE IN PICCADILLY. —An inquest was held yesterday at the Charing-cross Hospital, by Mr. Bedford, on the body of Norman Howard, aged twenty-three, who committed suicide by blowing his brains out. It appeared by the evidence of several witnesses that deceased, whose friends reside at Kent, bad held a situation at Mr. Cooper's, the large tailor, of Suffolk street, Pall-mall, where he was so much respected as to be entrusted with the entire management of the business. Latterly, however, a suspicion arose as to his honesty, chiefly attributable to his speculations in racing lotteries, and some bad connexions he had re cently formed. He lost a large sum of money on the late St. Leger, a moiety of which he had already paid. This and other simular speculations had rendered him unable to make up his accounts satisfactorily with his employers, which, coupled with the circumstances of an engagement to a young lady residing in Cirencester place, New-road, he became exceedingly despondent, and hence his inducement to commit so rash an act. It further appeared that deceased left business at . half past nine on Wednesday morning, and ha v ing got into ayab which was turning out of the Regent-circus, Piccadilly/ he fired off the pistol into his mouth. Death was 0 1 course instantaneous. After a lengthenel inc,uiry, the jury returned the s u bj o i ne d verdict :—" That de..,eLs4 died from the effects of a pistol shot, but whether he in tended to commit suicide at the time there was no evi dence to show." THE SHERIFF'S LIVERIES.—The state liveries of Mr. Alderman Finnic afford a brilliant specimen of civic splendour. The coats are of green cloth, richly em broidered in gold, the waistcoats and breeches are of ker seymere, fully ornamented with broad :gold lace; but the chief point of attraction is the thistle, introduced in its natural colours. Messrs. Doudney, of Old Bond street, have had the honour to furnish these appointments. Mr. Goodhart's liveries are equally splendid, but of a different colour; they are supplied by Mr. Green, of Clifford. street, and in both cases the taste and finish displayed in these gorgeous dresses reflect the highest credit upon the firms by which they have been manu factured. A new 100-gun ship, named the Henry IV., was launched at Cherbourg last week in the grandest style, and without the slightest accident. There are still in construction at Cherbourg two ships of the line, viz, the Austerlitz, 100, and the Tilsit, 90, both of which have been on the stocks for 16 years.—French paper.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.-Yesterday the works at London-bridge for enlarging the station and widening the Greenwich Railway viaduct, suspended during the monetary panic of 1847, were resumed. The bridge to cross Bermondsey-street is rapidly progressing. The Gravesend branch is also in a very forward state. It is expected that it will be opened for public traffic early in the spring. THE MINING Dismicx.—We understand that the miners of the Lower Ward of Lanarkshire, who were last week on strike for a slight advance of wages (6d. per day), have obtained their demand, and are all again at work, with the exception of the colliers connected with two establishments in the vicinity of Glasgow.--Glasgow Chronicle. POW'S SCHOLARSHIPS AT OXFORD AND CAM BRIDGE.—Two of the scholarships founded to the me mory of the Earl of Powis, by a body of chUrchmen, in consequence lof his successful exertions in opposing the demolition of the Welch bishoprics proposed by the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bagnor, are to be filled up before the next University term, after the exa mina.ion of the candidates, which will take place at King Edward's School, in Birmingham, during the first ten days in October. In conformity with the principle on which the scholarships were founded, candidates must be natives of Wales or one of the Welch dioceses, and ac quainted with the Welch language. The scholarships are of the annual value of 60/. each, tenable for four years at any college or hall at either of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. BRITISH. MANUFACTURES.—There is a Hospital at Westminster, that determined to uphold the principle of patronising nothing but British productions, has issued a placard, in which they distinctly state, they will take no other cases of Cholera but what are proved to be thoroughly British.—Punch. DREADFUL MURDER.—The following letter from Mountrath, Queen's County, dated the 19th instant, ap pears in the Freeman of this morning :—" One of the most cold-blooded murders that ever disgraced any neighbourhood occurred at Roskelton, within two miles of this town, last night. As three young men were re turning from a funeral yesterday evening, they hap pened to go into a house of entertainment for some coffee, or tea. There they unfortunately met with a man of the name of Wright, who has been teaching at a school at Roskelton during the last six months. Some jokes were passed on Wright, by a rival lover, concern ing a sweetheart, when he drew a large knife and plunged it into the intestines of his rival, a man of the name of Mulluwney, which caused instant death. Mul lowney had borne an excellent character, and was only 21 years of age. The murderer made his escape at the moment, but, owing to the vigilance of Constable O'Neil, of this town, he was arrested this morning at the Moun trath station, whilst in the act of stepping into the train, and is at present in the police-barrack, until be is com mitted to Maryborough gaol." DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS. —Yesterday and during the week, while some men in the employment of Messrs. Crook and Son were excavating the ground in Suffolk-lane, Lower Thames-street, for the formation of a sewer, they found a large quantity of Roman relics. thee' Several o ours portions e n whi e f h Mosa ic were a s pavementri rich as were e n d i fi s c r o s v t e l r a e i d d , down. On one of the pieces the complete figure of a man was distinctly traced. Many Roman coins were mixed with the soil at a depth of about ten feet, being of the time of Julius Caesar and of subsequent Em perors. One is stated to have been a gold coin. Nume rous pieces of broken pottery have been dug up, some of them having the maker's name in very legible cha racters. The men have found the walls of the most solid construction, being in some instances from four tO six feet thick. Some blocks of stone were met with which were elaborately worked. The locality adjoins the Merchant Tailors' School, and the appearance of the place shows that a building was once erected here of considerable dimensions. THE ISLAND OF TIGRE.—The Lords Commis sioners of the Treasury, having transmitted to the Cus toms Board the translation of a decree of the Govern ment of the State of Honduras, which has been received at the Foreign Office through her Majesty's Consul .
