LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE THE REV. A. P. HUGHES. This bankrupt was described as the vicar of Teynham and curate of Buckland, clerk in holy orders, residing at Teynham Vicarage, and the cause of failure is thus set out :—Becoming security for the Rev. H. C. Webber, who has been outlawed. To-day was appointed for the first meeting, and the claims already on the file amount to £3,000. Amongst the creditors are G. M. Arnold, Esq., of Gravesend, who holds a mortgage on the bankrupt's life interest and tithes of Teynham ; J. Lake, Esq., Teynham, also secured by a mortgage on the tithes; Sovereign Insur ance Company, £1,500, dependant upon a pending action at law ; and the Universal Insurance Company, £1,002. Debts were proved, and a day named for the next hearing. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) GIDDIES AND ANOTHER V. JONES. This was a judgment summons, and his Honour asked the defendant, a well-dressed man, why he had not paid the debt. Defendant replied that he did not recognise it. His Honour said it was too late to set up such a defence, the case having been settled by the Court on the original hearing. Defendant declared that he attended the court on the first trial, but upon the assurance that the cause would not be heard for some time, left, and upon his return found that a verdict had been recorded against him. His Honour could not help that. Defendant had not adopted any means for setting aside the verdict. The only question now was why defendant had not paid this money. Defendant said he had no means, and had been earning recently only a few shillings on commission. Plaintiff's Agent—l understand that he offered the officer ss. not to serve the summons upon him. Defendant had no recollection of any such offer. His Honour (to the officer)—What took place ? The officer—l went to defendant's house and served him personally, leaving him with it and wallzod away. He followed me, and as I turned a dark corner, touched me on the shoulder, saying, " Here, I do not want this, take it back, there are 55.," which I declined to take. His Honour said that defendant had been guilty of a cowardly attempt to bribe an officer of this court not to do a duty which he had especially sworn he would perform. Defendant stood committed to prison for forty days, but the warrant would not be issued for a fortnight. Committed for forty days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARL BOROUGH-S TREE T. RUFFIANLY CONDUCT.—James Fowkes, a bricklayer, was charged before Mr. Knox, as follows : Mr. James Warner, law stationer, of No. 314, Oxford street, said that on the previous evening the prisoner, with three companions, walked into his shop. He asked them what they wanted, but they would give him no answer, and stayed some time. All of them left but the prisoner, and on asking what he wanted, ho said " Some tobacco.' He told the prisoner that he did not sell tobacco, and the prisoner then said that he wanted a light for his pipe. With the view of conciliating the prisoner, who was drunk, ho gave him light after light, and at last told him that if he did not leave he would put him out, and was proceeding to do so when the prisoner grabbed him by the hair and struck him, making use of very bad language at the time. The police were then sent for and the prisoner given into custody. Police-constable Longcroft, 132 C, said that on going to Mr. Warner's shop he found the prisoner being held down by Mr. Warner and his assistant. He also found a pane of glass had been broken by the prisoner. The prisoner then threw himself down and swore the police should not take him to the station. The prisoner said that all ho had to say was that he was drunk. Mr. Warner said that he did not charge the prisoner with the damage. Mr. Knox said he would not go to the extent of sending the prisoner to prison without the option of paying a fine. He considered it, however, a monstrous thing that a trades man should be assaulted in his own shop. He should fine the prisoner 20s. 'or 14 days. ment to the police constable when he was taken into cus. tody. Discharged from want of evidence. THAMES. ARE BEER-SHOP KEEPERS ENTITLED TO THE PRIVILEGES OF INNKEEPERS ?—Johanna Thistle, who was described as an orange girl, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Mrs. Ellen Thins, a very respect able woman, who keeps a beer-house called the Princess of Wales, in Well-street, near the Sailors' Home, White chapel. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the prosecution, and said his client was now in a delicate position, and very ill from the effects of the injury sho received. The prisoner's sister was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment for her share in the outrage, which occurred on the 12th of September last. Mrs. Thius said the prisoner and her sister came into her house with somo sailors. She had come to a resolution not to serve basket-girls with any refreshment whatever, in consequence of their general disorderly conduct and the depredations committed by them. The prisoner and her sister called for somo malt liquor, and sho would not sup ply them with any. She also cautioned the sailors at the same time against the company they were keeping. The prisoner's sister then committed a violent assault on her. The prisoner also pulled her over the counter by the hair of the head, took up a glass cover, and attempted to strike her with it, and said she would have her life. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, who entered the ceurt hurriedly, saidthe had just been instructed to defend the prisoner. He could not understand why basket-girls were denied re freshment. Mr. Paget said that it occurred to him to put that to the witness on a former occasion. Licensed victuallers were bound to afford immediate refreshment to all persons pro perly conducting themselves who could pay for the same. The question was whether beershop-keepers were subjected to the same liabilities and privileges as innkeepers. Mr. Stoddart thought not. He was of opinion that the law relating to innkeepers did not apply to persons licensed to sell beer by retail. Mr. ()bailee Yu ung---Chandlers, shop-keepers, and others in a small way now sell beer and ale, and they have no accommodation for guests. They can hardly be considered as innkeepers. Mr. Paget said if he called for a glass of ale ai an inn, and it was refused, he should notithink of committing a violent assault. He ordered the prisoner to find good bail, herself in £4O and two sureties of £2O each, to keep the peace for six months. . Atlantic Telegraph Company. . MEETING THIS DAY. An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in the Atlantic, Telegraph Company was held this day at the London Tavern. The Hon. J. S. Wortley, chairman of the company, presided. The CHAIRMAN said he had so frequently had to claim their indulgence, when addressing them on the subject of their undertaking, that it was with some degree of plea sure that he had to inform them that he should not have to detain them at any length to-day, because their business was, of a short but clear description. To-day they had to ask the shareholders to give their assent to a resolution giving their assent to the issue of capital, or rather a further issue of the capital authorised by Act of Parlia ment; and the question to be discussed was as to amount and the form in what that addition to their capital was to be issued. He did not think that there was any one in that room who would deny the wisdom and propriety of making another effort towards effecting the object they had in view. He did not think anyone could expect the public to take the £5 shares on the same terms as the last, because they stood at only at 11 in the market, and it would bo ridiculous to ask the public to give them .f.. 5 for what was now to be had in the market for 30s. The directors had taken the opinion of counsel that they could legally pay the 12 per cent. premium over the other shares. The contractors with the Atlantic Telegraph Company proposed to lay an additional cable, and not to take up and complete the cable that now lies buried in the Atlantic, for the sum of £500,000, with a contingent profit in the event of suc cess. If they successfully laid the cable the revenue they would receive would enable them to pay 12, 20, or even more per cent. premium and then leave a very handsome sum for further dividends. He would there fore move the first resolution as follows : " That the resolution passed at the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders ' held on the 9th Au gus t, 1865 , authorising the issue of a further amount of the remaining unpaid capital of the company, not exceeding £BOO,OOO, be and the same is hereby rescinded." Mr. LAMPSON seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said they now come to the most impor tant part of their business, and he therefore without fur ther observation moved the next resolution, which was as follows : " 3d. That the capital of the company be increased to an amount not exceeding £2,000,000, by the creation and issue of not exceeding 160,000 news shares of .£5 each, and that such new shares shall bear, and be entitled to a preferential dividend at the rate of £l2 per cent. per annum on the amount for the time being paid up thereon, in priority to any divi dend on any other capital of the company, and shall also in proportion to the amount for the time being paid up thereon, be entitled to participate equally with the other capital of the company in any moneys applicable to dividend, which upon each declaration of dividend may remain after pay ing or providing for the said dividend of £l2 per cent. per annum, the preferential dividend of £8 per cent. per an num payable on the consolidated eight per cent. preferen tial stock of the company, and a dividend at the rate of four per cent. per annum on the consolidated ordinary stock and ordinary shares of the company." The CHAIRMAN then moved— " That the resolution passed at the said meeting, held on the 9th August, 1865, conferring upon the said capital of £BOO,OOO, or so much thereof as should from time to time ,be issued in common with the consolidated 8 per cent. pre ferential stock of the company, a preferential dividend of 8 per cent. per annum, and a certain share in other divi dends of the company, be and the samo is hereby rescinded." Mr. LE BRETON seconded the resolution, which was like wise carried without discussion. Mr. CROPPER seconded the motion. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know the amount of the contingent profit to contractors for laying the cables suc cessfully. The CHAIRMAN said the contingent profit was to be £lOO,OOO. The resolution was carried, and the meeting broke up. Execution at Maidstone—(This Day.) The unfortunate young man Currie, who, it will be re membered, was found guilty, at the last sitting of the Central Criminal Court, of the murder of Major De Vere, of the Royal Engineers, at Chatham, was executed this morning in front of Maidstone Gaol. THE CHOLERA IN MADRID. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) MADRID, Oct. 9. The number of suspected cases and actual in this capital is increasing. The provincial sanitary council met yesterday, under the presidency of the Governor, and approved all the sanitary measures adopted by the authorities. A relief committee was formed to render assistance to the suffering poor. The municipal charitable council also met to con cert precautionary measures against any increase of the epidemic. The Minister of Public Works has suspended the lectures at the Central University, in order to avoid the danger that might arise from the crowding together of the students in a confined space. The young men are to continue their studies privately until the sanitary state of the city shall permit them to reassemble at the university. It is believed that the return of the Court to Madrid will be postponed. A royal order has been issued restoring the ad ministration of the town of Saragossa to the civil authorities. MARKETS—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. About an average supply of beasts was on sale here to-day, in but middling condition. Most breeds moved off steadily at full quotations. The top figure was 5s 2d per 81b. Sheep, the show of which was moderate, met a dull inquiry at late rate. The best Downs and half-breds realised Gs 4d, in some instances Gs Gd, per 81b. We were fairly supplied with calves, for which the demand ruled steady at 2d per lb more money. The highest quotation wa s 5s per 81b. Pigs were held at very high rates, but the sale for them was inactive. Milch cows wars firm in price. WESTMINSTER. ROMANTIC OCCURRENCES AT ST. BARNABAS' CHURCH, Pimuco.—A very creditably-dressed young woman, who gave the name of Sarah Williams, was placed at the bar upon a charge of being found secreted last night in St. Barnabas' Church, Pimlico. Richard Messenger said—l am sexton. I locked the church up at a quarter to nine last night, and had oc casion to go back in consequence of a recent loss and to see that all was safe. I carefully examined the church and found the prisoner in a kneeling position at the back of the church. Mr. Selfe—Then she had been locked in and would have remained so all night if you had not chanced to go back ? Witness—Yes, your worship, she would. Mr. Selfe—Do you know anything of her ? Witness—No, I do not. Mr. Selfe—What did she say ? Witness—She told me that she bad intended to con ceal herself there for the night, and that she had been locked in there all Tuesday night. Mr. Selfe—Do you know anything of that ? Witness—l remarked that she appeared the first in tho church on Wednesday morning. Sergeant Purchase, B Division—Perhaps, sir, it is only right I should inform you, that on the Tuesday night spoken of a sister of mercy, as I think they call the lady, found a fine female child on the steps of some buildings belonging to the church, with the piece of paper I now produce on it. " In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ take in this poor helpless babe, which has nobody on earth to do anything for it ; and may the prayers of a dying mother be always with you. Bring her up to know her Heavenly Father, and to love him truly. Her name is Henrietta. She has been baptised. Do not let her go to the workhouse to be brought up in sin ; and that God may ever bless you, is the prayer of a dying and heart-broken mother." • Mr. Selfe—And this child was left on Tuesday night ? Sergeant Purchase—Yes, sir, the same that she says she passed in the church. Mr. Selfe—What have you to say, prisoner ? Prisoner—l did not intend to steal anything. Mr. Selfe—A robbery was committed there Only a few days ago. Prisoner—l know nothing about it. Mr. Selfe—Whero do you reside ? Prisoner—l have no friends in London. I came from Manchester to get into an institution. I had no place to go to. c ls l l d. ept in the church. I don't know anything about e child. Mr. Selfe—l must know something further about you. You must give your address at Manchester, and some re ferences to any who may know you and can giveany infor mation respecting you. You are remanded until Thursday WANDSWORTH. THE BONA FIDE TRAVELLER QUESTION. —Mr. James Nicholls, the landlord of the Old Swan public-house, Church-road, Battersea, was summoned for Sunday morn ing trading on the Ist inst. Mr. Ifaynes, jun., defended, and pleaded not guilty. It was proved that the defendant supplied some beer to a party who had come up the river from Westminster in a boat, and ihen they afterwards rowed on to Kew. It was also proved by one of the party that the defendant did not charge for the beer, as he knew him. The summons was dismissed. Mr. Haynes then inquired of the magistrate whom the defendant was to consider travellers. The Magistrate observed that his own opinion was that if a party were going a distance, and called on the way for refreshment, the landlord would not do wrong by serving them, as he (the magistrate) should consider them travel lers. He, however, cautioned the defendant to exercise discretion, for there were a number of sham travellers. SOUTHWARK. ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—Alfred Craddock was charged with assaulting police-constable 125 L. From the statement of the constable it-appeared that about half-past thero yesterday he was on duty in the Westminster-road, and saw the prisoner holding a man by the collar of his coat. Apprehending that the prisoner was about assaulting the man, he went up to them, and imme diately the prisoner let go the other man and seized him (witness). He succeeded in inducing the prisoner to go on for a few yards, but he then turned round and struck wit ness a violent blow with his fist. The prisoner, a journeyman baker, said that he was drunk at the time, and had no recollection of what had occurred. Fined five shillings. A MAN-op-WAR'S MAN CHARGED WITH FELONY.— Richard M'Donald wr.s charged with stealing an oilskin coat, the property of Thomas 311 Cay, a sailor in the Sheer ness steamer, Ibis. The prosecutor said that the prisoner was a passenger in the steamer yesterday from Sheerness to London. He left his coat on the deck and it was quite safe at Wool wich. When they arrived at Hungerford-bridge the pas sengers got out, and he then missed the coat. Suspecting that the prisoner had, taken the coat ho followed and over took him, and found the coat with some articles of the prisoner's in a hag which he was carrying. He charged him with the robbery, and then gave him into custody. Tho prisoner said that he had seven years' character, and had been formerly on board the Cumberland man-of war, from which he bad been discharged at his own wish. He and three other young men had been drinking a quan tity of stores before they got on board the steamer, and he fell asleep on deck. He and the young men had been larking, and no doubt they put the coat in his bag a® a joke, as he knew of it. He had money and clothes of his own, and had no inducement to commit the robbery. The prosecutor said that it was untrue that the prisoner was asleep on board the steamer, for he and his companions were there all the time. It appeared that the prisoßer 11,11.1, made thQ ?Arno state- Inhuman Treatment of a Dying Man. An extraordinary tale of inhuman treatment of a dying man by his wife was disclosed at the Guildhall, Plymouth, on Tuesday, when Mr. Clements, one of the relieving officers, attended, and made a charge against an old woman named Brown, who keeps a stall in the market. Mr. Clements said that James Brown, husband of the accused, had been receiving relief from the parish. The poor man was dropsical, and was not expected to recover. According to the statement made by Mr. Clements, his wife was not content with the prospect of ultimate release, but was impatient at the slow march of death, and en deavoured to quicken his. steps. She would leave her husband unattended, and without food or drink, from morning till night, and on returning has been known to greet her dying husband with the words, " What, you there still ; b'aint you dead yet ?" A neighbour, Mrs. Brewer, who from kindness of heart occasionally took the sick man broth, and stayed awhile with him, was reproached and threat ened, and on Sunday night last the wife refused Mrs. Brewer the use of some things to raise the man up in bed with, saying, " As long as you keep propping him up you keep rallying him." Her impatience for his death increasing, and stimulated apparently by the prospect of receiving £l4 from a burial club on the death of her husband, she applied to an under taker. A coffin was made, and Brown was actually stretched out in it, and salt had been put on his body to prevent his bursting, just the same as a corpse would be treated. Mr. Clements said he had conversed with the poor man, who said they could tell all they were doing at the time, but that he was "in such a state that he could not help himself." Mrs. Brewer was examined in reference to the heart less treatment of Brown by his wife, and the follow ing dialogue took place between the witness and the magistrate as to what occurred on Monday morning. In answer to a question Mrs. Brewer said—Well, the bell was ringing eight o'clock when Mrs. Brown came into my room, and I asked her how her husband was. She said, " He's gone." I said, " Dead ?" and she replied, " Yes." I then asked her why she had not called me, and she said "He is laid out, and it is all done." When I came down I saw Mr. Brown stretched out in the coffin, but he was breathing. I asked Mrs. Brown to let me have abed to put under him, but she would not allow it. His clothes had been taken away, and a shilling and a few pence removed from his waist coat pocket. All the bottles containing his medi cine had been put away, as well as the teaspoons he used. The room had also been washed out, and there was Mr. Brown lying in the coffin.—Mr. Lus combe : Did you see the body move when you went down and saw him stretched out ?—Mrs. Brewer: He spoke to me, and asked me how he came in that position. He said, " 'Where - be I, Mrs. Brewer ?" —Mr. Luscombe : Who put him in the coffin ? Mrs. Brewer : I asked her, and she said herself, but I told her she could not have done it without the assistance of the evil spirit.---Mr. Luscombe : Have you seen him this morning ?—Mrs. Brewer : Yes, and he is sensible ; he is betfer than he has been for several days. He is properly supported at the pre sent time. Yesterday Mrs. Brown told me that if I came into the room she would take me by the shoul ders and put me into the street.—Mr. Phillips : Who was with her when the poor man was put into the coffin ?—Mrs. Brewer : I am told that a man assisted her.—Mr. Clements : Mr. Brown has told me there was a man there, but being in a confused state at the time, and thinking it was some one mea suring him for a coat, he held up his arm, thinking it would assist him.—Mr. Luscombe said Mrs. Brown would be detained in custody until Superin tendent Freeman had had an opportunity of inquir ing into the circumstances of the case.—Mrs. Brown said she was quite ready to remain, but she could assure the bench that every morning she had got up and done everything for her husband.—Mr. Lus combe :It seems from the evidence of to-day that you are very desirous of sending your husband out of the world as soon as possible for the sake of hav ing £l4 from the sick club. STAIT OF TRADE CARDIFF, Oct. 10.---The rise in the rate of dis count has, as might be naturally expected, slightly checked all trade transactions and new speculations. The staple trades (coal and iron) of this district have, however, felt the pressure but little, owing to the soundness of the demand. Puddl e d b ars an d pigs are in request, with an upward tendency. The tin plate trade is active, and it is difficult to place orders at almost any price. The local foundries are in full work. LEICESTFR, 11th.—There is continued buoyancy in the hosiery trade. Both the departments (plain and fancy) are doing an amount of business, and manufacturers are working to order. In the rural districts business is tolerably active, the operatives being well employed. Worsted yarns are firm, and spinners are well engaged. In cotton yarns there is no material change. Wools meet a fair consumptive inquiry at high rates. NOTTINGHAM, 11th.—There has been more doing in cotton lace goods generally during the past few days than for some time past. There are some fair orders for America in the market, and the home de mand is improving. A little more is being done in silks, mechlins, and quillings ; both branches, are, however, yet quiet. Cotton mechlin quillings are in better inquiry. The black silk lace trade is dull, and there is no revival in narrow edgings. The cotton fancy trade remains quiet. The hosiery trade continues very active. The home department is well engaged, and there are plenty of foreign orders in the market. Yarns are without change in price. MUTINY AND STABBING ON SHIPBOARD.--The Liverpool magistrates were yesterday engaged with a charge of stabbing the second mate of the American ship Sabino, bound from Liverpool for Boston, U.S. When the vessel was in the river, and ready for sea, Thomas Morri son, one of the sailors, refused to work, and an altercation having arisen between him and the second mat e (J o h n Collins), Morrison drew his knife, and stabb e d C o lli ns severa 7 l timesrol Ih in the ,o side vs n ,ae cs k r,em au inflictingded . some dan gerous Per 81b to sink the offal. a d a cl Crse. & inf. beasts... 3 2 3 8 Second quality no ..3 10 4 4 Prime large oxen ..4 a 4 10 Prime Scots, &e.... 5 0 5 2 Crse. and inf. slieep.4 2 4 8 Second quality do ..4 10 5 4 Lambs....os Od to Os Od. s ds d Pme crs-wool sheep 5 6 5 0 Prime s'thdown c 0.6 0 6 4 La•ge coarse calvcs.4 4 5 0 Prime small d0......5 2 5 6 Large hogs ...4 4 5 4 Small porkers 5 6 6 10 Suckling calves, kOs to 228 ; and quarter-old store pigs, 27s o 33s each.

IRON SHIPBUILDING ON THE USK.—For the last three or four years the advantages presented by the South Wales ports for iron shipbuilding, owing to their contiguity to the iron and coal districts, and other circum stances, has attracted the attention of capitalists, and the result has been that at Newport, Cardiff, and Llanelly, several iron shipbuilding yards have been opened and the trade is gradually becoming one of considerable importance. On Saturday morning an iron bark was successfully launched from the yardrof Mr. Thomas Spittle, on the east side of the Usk, at Newport, and she was christened the Iron Queen by the daughter of the builder and owner. The bark is intended for the River Plate trade, and her tonnage and dimensions are as follows :—Registered tonnage 255 tons, builder's tonnage 288 tons, length 115 ft., beam 23ft. 4in., and depth of hold 14ft. This is the second iron ship launched at Newport, the first having been built by Messrs. Batchelor. The keel of another iron vessel of much larger tonnage has been laid at Mr. Spittle's yard. ~. City Sewers Commission• The usual weekly meeting of the City Commis sioners of Sewers was held at the Guildhall on Tues day ; Mr. Deputy De Jersey in the chair. Mr. Daw, the principal clerk, read a report from the General Purposes Committee, in which they stated that they had had under their consideration a memorial of the inhabitants of Hosier-lano on the nuisance caused by the slaughterhouse therein, and that a statement was prepared by the Medical Officer of Health in connexion with that slaughter house, with a view to a memorial being passed thereupon by the Commissioners to the Secretary of State for the Home Department praying for the removal of the same ; but as the question had been thereby raised whether all the slaughterhouses in the city should not in like manner be removed, the committee considered it right to ask the appro val of the Commissioner to such a measure before memorializing her Majesty's Government on the subject. Appended to this report was a copy of a memorial to Sir G. Grey praying for the removal of the slaughterhouses of the city. Mr. Israel said this was a weighty matter, which would require far more consideration than could be given to it at present when the Court was thinly at tended. To adopt a memorial praying the Govern ment to remove all the slaughterhouses from the city was a subject which called for calm and serious deliberation. Mr. Deputy Farrer agreed with Mr. Israel that the question opened up many grave considerations, and said that it had come upon the Court most unexpectedly, there being no mention of it on the paper. The cowkeepers had rights, and were those rights to be taken away from them behind their backs ? Mr. Cox said there were many cowkeepers among his constituents in Fins bury who would doubtless vppoao the removal of their cowsheds. Still, cowsheds in large cities such as London were great nuisances, and the time was come when their removal must be dealt with by the Legislature. Upon the motion of Mr. Gover, the further consideration of the memorial to the Govern ment on this subject was postponed until the meet ing of the Commissioners on Tuesday next. Dr. Letheby reported that the returns of the inspectors related to 241 houses which had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 62 of these places for sanitary improvement. He also sub mitted a list of places requiring further proceedings to be taken, on account of orders already issued and not yet complied with. In a case of a serious nuisance arising from the accumulation of scil in the kitchen of premises situated at No. 29, Primrose-street, Bishopsgate, and forthe neglect of removing it away, in accordance with the orders of the Court, the owner was summoned before the magistrates on the 4th inst., and he (Dr. Letheby) recommended, in consequence of the urgency of the case, that the necessary work be done by the Commissioners, and charged upon the owner. Dr. Letheby also re ported that the markets and slaughterhouses had been duly inspected during the week, and that the officers had condemned 4,9921 b. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of eight sheep, one calf, two pigs, 49 quarters of beef, and eight joints of meat. Most of it was in a diseased condition. Dr. Letheby next reported that in the course of the past week there had been 68 births and 37 deaths registered in the city. The average number of deaths in the corresponding period of the last ton years was 52, so that the mortality during the week had been less than usual. Fifteen of these deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 9 among persons of 60 years and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follow :—Phthisis, 6 ; mesenteric disease, 5 ; pneumonia, 1 ; bron chitis, 4 ; continued fever, 3 ; scarlet fever, 1; diarrhoea, 1 ; croup, 2 ; and measles, 3 ; making altogether 11 deaths from tubercular disease, 11 from inflammatory affection of the lungs, and 11 from diseases of a zymotic character. The indica tions, therefore, as thus furnished of the state of the public health were satisfactory. The recom mendations carried out in Dr. Letheby's reports were ordered to be carried out, and the meeting adjourned. The Cattle Disease• HEREFORD. The Hereford Town Connell vestoracv cYcuiig resolved to exclude all horned stock from the great October fair. SUSSEX, At a special general meeting of the Hailsham Cattle Plague Association held yesterday, Mr. G. Darby in the chair, it was resolved that no stock should be purchased by any member cf the associa tion at any fair, that none should be purchased which had not been in the seller's hands for six months previously, and that any person violating these rules should forfeit all claim on the associa tion. After the meeting a deputation laid these resolutions before the committee of the East Sussex Association at Lewes, and they recommended their adoption by that body. Subsequently a meeting of magistrates took place in the County-hall, when proposals to stop the fairs were brought before the meeting. From what passed it is understood that this will be done. Further regulations regarding the increasing importation of cattle at Newhaven are considered necessary, and application for them will be made to the Colonial-office and the Home Secretary. WORCESTERSHIRE. The magistrates of the Petty Sessional division of 'Worcester decided yesterday to close all fairs and markets in the division, under the provisions of the order passed by the Privy Council on the 22nd ult., for all horned cattle from that day for two months. It is expected that the other districts in the county will adopt a similar course. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Wednesday, 18th inst., a special settling day in the shares ofpodges's Distillery Company, and in Brill's Brighton Baths Company, both of which are to be marked in the twice-a-week list. The following resolution has also been passed by the committee : " That, after full consideration of the circumstances connected with the General Estates Company, the committee hereby rescind the order of the 25th September, suspending the baying-in of shares of the said company." ADVENTURE ON THE TIGHT- ROPE.—The Buffalo Courier states that Mr. Leslie having undertaken to give the people of Bayfield, Canada West, a performance on the tight rope, stretched his rope across the James, a distance of GOOft., and proceeded to walk over it, and, when midway, to go through various manoeuvres and feats of skill. Upon afterwards nearing the opposite bank he found a number of persons greatly excited, and could hear them „y , .-.-.. him, he's the devil !" " Cut the rope !" "Cut him down !" &c. Leslie continued to move along on the rope, but before he could reach its terminus the slender bridge was cut and he was allowed to fall a distance of nearly 25ft. In his descent he caught hold of a tree and thence rolled down the embankment to the water's edge. Finding that he was pursued by the ruffians he made his escape to the woods, and after travelling about a mile and a half he managed to get a horse and buggy, with which he reached Seaforth. THE BONE CAVE AT RTHOPE COLLIERY.--A great additional quantity of human and other animal remains has been discovered in this cave within the last few days, and as it has not yet been fully explored, or its termination reached, it is likely that still more will be found as the quarrymen go on with their work. Among the bones dug up on Thursday last are two adult human skulls, male and female, the lower jawbone of a child of five or six years old, and a number of other bones a l enough the tw o adultto constr skullsu c t areanother asfol skeleton. e : t_o n o . r c l u l n h i e f ecrreonsofe dimensions b inst ot pos teriorhof, 211 in.; longest diameter, 7 lin. and 7 i in. 4T lobe, ber 6 e i n in.o;re bonesand acrossof b t b h a e d anterior , ers, foxes, si cats,n. and bin. andare 5 also m and rabbits, &c.

In alittle was discovered a number cf small bones of different kinds, evidently placed there hy hand, just such a depository as girl playing at housekeeping might be supposed to make. Some of the ox bones appear to have been broken with a hammer, and one of them bears the mark of having been sawn through. The most probable conjecture now is that these relics are those of a family of thieves or robbers, or of refugees from invasion or persecution, and that they had met their death suddenly and. unexpectedly—perhaps by suffocation, like the Macdonalds, of the Isle of Eigg, at the hands of the chief of Macleod, or the Arabs in the cave of Dalira, at those of General Lamoriciere. There would be plenty of brushwood near for such a purpose. SPORTING INTELLIGENOE—This Da: NEWMARKET RACES-THIS DAT, BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. SWEEPSTAKES OF 500 SOVS. Liddington .O. PLATE OF 50 SCATS.
