Naval and Military Intelligence. Detachments of oficen men belonging to the three battalions of infantry at Chatham. will leave that garrison this morning for Hythe, for the pur pose of going through an extended course of instruc tion in the use of the Snider breechoading rifle, at th e School of Musketry, previously to embarking for India or the colonies. The following officers have received orders to proceed to Hythe with the detach ments, viz.: Capt. F. Falkner and Lieut. C. King, 50th (Queen's 0 Am) Regiment ; Lieut. W. Mills, 2d Battalion 14th Regiment ; Lieut. R. F. W. Rynd, Ist Battalion 22d Regiment ; Lieut. H. W. Nichol son, 82d Regiment ; and Ensign A. T. Fisher, Ist Battalion of the 2d (Queen's Royal) Regiment. The officers of the 57th Regiment, who, as stated in The Sun of yesterday, returned this week with a detachment of the regiment from New Zealand, on landing at Liverpool, presented a letter to Captain Roberts, of the ship Maori, which had brought them from Auckland, in which they thank him for his attention to their comforts on the voyage. The Snipe, screw gunboat, recently arrived at Portsmouth from foreign service, was paid out of commission at that port on Tuesday. Private letters received from her Majesty's screw troop-ship Euphrates, Capt. Rich, state that she made the passage from Spithead to Cape Verd in 8 days 20 hours, averaging nearly 11 knots, with a consumption of coal of about 45 tons per 24 hours. A naval court-martial assembled on Tuesday on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, for the trial of Mr. Stewart and Mr. M'Kay, chief en gineers of the first class in her Majesty's Navy, on charges of " neglect of duty, disobedience of orders, and drinking intoxicating liquors to excess." The court condemned Mr. Alexander Stewart to lose six months' time and to be severely reprimanded. Mr. M'Kay the court sentenced to lose all seniority as assistant-engineer, to be dismissed from her Ma jesty's ship Waterwitch, and to be severely repri manded. Capt. Hon. F. Egerton was president of the court. T2y3 Volunteer Artillery Contests at Shoe- buryness. SHOEBURYNESS, Wednesday. The sun and fortune shine together on this meet ing of the association, for not only does the weather continue uninterruptedly fine, but the prize list of the meeting, which, it must be confessed, was rather scanty, even though it showed a Queen's Prize of £lOO, a Prince of Wales's of £2l, and a Duke of Cambridge's of £lO, has been considerably and considerately added to ; the volunteer artillery officers and their friends, having appealed to the public and the Government in vain for assistance, have determined to help themselves, hoping to be able in time to enforce the claims of the association upon the consideration of the Government and the public. A meeting, convened by the council of the associa tion, was held yesterday of all the volunteer artillery officers in camp as representing the volunteer artillery service of the country. Among those present were Colonel Harcourt, of the Cinque Ports Administra- --- tive Brigade (president) ; Colonel Sir James Baird, of Midlothian ; Colonel Clementson, Colonel Durn- ford, Major Scrivens, Major Horne, of Midlothian; Major Court, of Dover ; Major Macintosh, of In verness ; Captain Baines, of Essex ; Duff and Studdert, of the City of London ; Leith, of Graves end ; Elgin, of the City of Edinburgh ; Bathurst, of Kent ; Hughes, James, Englebach, Sankey, and Brassey, of Liverpool ; M'Kewu and Spark, of Ist Surrey ; Keane, Jeffrey, Rutley, Hunter, and Lieuts. Minister, Bratt,M‘Minn,Gearns, and d'Eye. Col. Harcourt expressed pleasure at seeing so many officers as were assembled, and he said they had been called together that the council might hear the opinions of the officers connected with the ser vice as to the future course of the association, which he was happy to say had now come to a turning point which seemed to indicate future success. The weather was now everything that could be desired, which was far from what the association had pre viously had—(a laugh, and hear") —and the men, though there were not so many as last year, were more than the year before, and they were quite equal in discipline and drill to any body of men who had been there before. The council had many difficulties to encounter, for the association had not received the amount of support it had looked for and needed, and ought, in fact, to have received. The Government, too, had not treated the associa tion well. Deputations of officers had waited upon Sir John Pakington, who had given them fair pro mises, and as yet nothing more ; but still stronger representations would shortly be made to Sir John, as to the claims which the association had upon Go vernment support. The gallant colonel stated that it was necessary to increase the prize list, and it was thought this could be done by the officers taking collection books. A suggestion had been made that the association should move its meetings from place to place, that it should go to Liverpool one year, to Scotland another, for the encouragement of the northern brigades, which had shown so earnest a desire to assist the association. He should be happy thus to move ; but then, it must be remembered, that at Shoeburyness, in the assistance which the Royal Artillery gave, great expense was saved, and there were many other advantages at Shoeburyness which were not to be obtained elsewhere. He felt compelled to say that unless the association had the guarantee of a sum to cover the expenses which would be incurred by moving, the meetings could not be held elsewhere, so it was to be understood that if there was an urgent desire to have the meetings at Liverpool, or Scotland, there was a ready way of so getting the meeting by raising the money to cover the cost. Sir James Baird then addressed the meet ing, and he held that it was more advantageous to hold the meetings at Shoeburyness than elsewhere, as the volunteers who came there had the advantage of all matters connected with artillery in that famous school of gunnery. He promised, on behalf of Scotland, that more subscriptions should be sent in to the funds of the association, and he said the men who had come from the North were so highly de lighted with the instruction they had received that the number of detachments next year would be greatly increased. If it should be determined by the association to hold a meeting in Scotland, he would guarantee a good range of ground for an encampment, and a hearty Scotch welcome ; but, unless the money for going to Scotland were subscribed, he should advise the association, for the reasons he stated, to stop at Shoeburyness. Many other speeches were made, the speakers being Capt. Leith, as representing Kent ; Lieut. d'Eye of Suffolk ; Lieut. Gearns, of the Ist Tower Hamlets, who, Col. Harcourt announced amid cheering, had sent the association £lO in addition to his subscrip tion ; Capt. Englebach, Lieut. Minister, Lieut. Stevenson (of Durham), Capt. Brassey, Capt. Stud dert, Major Horne, Capt. Elgin, Capt. Baines, and many promises of hearty support were given on be half of various counties. A vote of thanks to the president closed the proceedings. At a parade which was afterwards held of the whole camp Col. Harcourt expressed to the men his opinion that they had shown the true volunteer spirit in coining so far to contest for prizes, some of which, he acknowledged, were not equal to the occa sion. He was sure, he said, that they would be pleased to hear that steps were being takefi to greatly increase t he prize list. The winners of the Adair Challenge Mortar, which was not a prize to be kept until won twice, would receive £lO, which had been kindly given to the council by Lieut. Gearns, of the Ist Tower Hamlets Artillery. There was a second i.riz3 of £lO given by Lord Limerick, and a third, of £5, by the officers of the Ist Surrey. Ile was happy to announce, too, that at the competition on Friday of all the detachments which had won prizes, for the Association Badge, the Messrs. Elkington would give a handsome silver cup, value £lO, to the " No. 1" of the winning detachment ; and Capt. Brassey, of Liverpool, would give £5 to the detach ment making the highest avenge score during the meeting. These announcements were received, as it might be expected they would, with demonstra tions of eatisfaction. 'The - Queen's P prize is to be competed for to-mor row (Thursday) with the Armstrong rifted gun, and it is a contest to which the men are looking forward, and for which they have been preparing by most assiduous attention to Armstrong drill under the Royal Artillery instructors. The prize consists of c. 10 beautiful silver cups, the tenth, for the "No. 1," being larger than the others ; and have been manu— factured from designs by the well-known architect,. Mr. Welby Pugin, who is the captain-commandant. of the Ramsgate corps, the winners of the Queen's Prize of last year. The prizes, with the Lords and Commons' cups, the Prince of Wales's Prize, the Adair model of the Cadiz mortar, making, in all, with various articles designed for the Paris Exhibi tion, a glittering display of plate, are shown in the exhibition tent of the camp, which has been opened by the Messrs. Ellington. The Queen's Prize plate is a thorough work of art, and both the design er and manufacturers have well sustained iu this work their reputation, and the whole exhibition here is worthy of the firm which have made the great. dis plays at Paris, Dublin, and Wimbledon. On the conclusion of the shooting, on compari son of the range and battery scores yesterday for the Prince of Wales's Prize, it was found, as was anticipated, that the 2d Middlesex had won with the high score of 39 ; and the 2d detachment of the Brighton corps made the good score of 36. Thus the 2d Middlesex are for the second time the winners of this prize. The firing to-day was that known as " eccentric." It was at 2,000 yards with 32-pounders (smooth bore), and spherical projectiles, having the centre of gravity in the front, the heavier part being ascertained by weighing each shot in quicksilver. It was believed the 2d Suffolk had won the prize with 34 ; the Folkestone (Ist B Cinque Ports) being second with 29 ; and the 2d Cinque Ports third with 29 ; the 2d Middlesex was 25. The de- tailed scores had not reached the council tent when this report left. THE BRITISH ARCHEOLOGICAL ASSO• CIATION. LUDLOW, Tuesday. The twenty-fourth annual congress of this asso ciation was inaugurated last night by a public dinner, and the fine weather to-day drew together a large muster of savans and visitors from a distance for the first excursion. The inaugural address was delivered last night, after the public dinner, by Sir Charles H. Rouse Boughton, Bart., the president. Among those pre sent were Captain the Hon. G. H. W. Windsor Clive, M.P., Mr. Jasper More, M.P., Mr. J. E. Severne, M.P., Colonel Colvin, C. 8., Mr. T. Wright, M.A., F.S.A., Mr. G. R. Wright, F.S.A. (hon. curator, &c.), Mr. Gordon M. Hills (treasurer), Mr. E. Levien, M.A., F.S.A., and Mr. E. Roberts, F.S.A. (hon. general secretary), Rev. W. C. Spar row (hon. local secretary), and several ladies. The President, after some introductory remarks, said he did not intend to follow the example set him by his predecessors in office, of giving a long de scription of antiquarian objects of interest in the neighbourhood, for two reasons : first, that he doubted whether such a description would not be out of place at a dinner-table ; and, secondly, that he felt very acutely his own great ignorance, and knew how the slightest error on his part would be instantly detected by those around him, who were so much better informed on these subjects. He could only account for his election to the office of president for the year by the supposition that they believed per sons of a certain degree of property and influence in a neighbourhood might be stimulated and might stimu late others, to preserve loyal objects of archaeological interest. (Hear, hear.) He remembered when, many years ago, he lived at the Old Priory atWenlock, very little was said against the former owner of the ruin, who had pulled portions of it down to provide ma i terials to build cottages with ; but great indignation was expressed against another individual, who a quarter of a century ago committed dire antiquarian offence by knocking off a nose from one of the cor bels. (A laugh.) That circumstance demonstrated how much antiquarian taste had improved, that the entire destruction of a ruin should excite less indig- nation in one generation than the abstraction of an unfortunate corbel's nose in this day. lie Mt it would be presumption in him to attempt to read a lecture to the higher classes of the inhabitants of Ludlow, who had done so much in our days not only by the creation of water works, the ameliora tion of its drainage, the establishment of markets, of schools, and of reading-rooms for the modern wants of its inhabitants, but who had largely bur dened themselves to make their church what it now was—the finest ecclesiastical edifice in Shropshire. (Hear.) To the inhabitants of such a town no ama teur archwologist need offer any advice. But there were other members of society who did not always see the real value of archaeological remains, and who did an infinity of mischief sometimes in knocking off corbels' noses. To all such he would say that they were not marching with the intelligence, the refine ment, or the education of the present day, when they destroyed or permitted the destruction of archreological remains—relics which, once destroyed, no commercial success could ever replace. Having re ferred to the remarks of the late Mr. Botfield on this subject, inh when te over o p o r n e t s e id m in p g latiooof the ancient Archpe things ological Congress in 1862, at Shrewsbury, he went on to saythat could be detected the spirit of ages gone by. He then referred to the local historians of the district, citing the names of men, living and dead, who had contributed to illustrate that history—the late Mr. Botfield, who so long represented Ludlow in Par liament, Messrs. Wright, Duke, Pigeon ; Arch deacon Owen, Blakeney, R. Anderson, Nightingale, and a host of other Shropshire writers. He might remind them that it was in that neighbourhood — at Berrington, near Shrewsbury—that au individual was born in the reign of Edward IV. who was still living in the time of Charles I.—that old, old, very old man, Thomas Parr, whose life he should be happy to show them when they came to visit him at Downton Hall. He did not know how many hundred years Parr lived, but if any of those pre sent could have survived two centuries they might have been able to tell their descendants what an arcbseological meeting was in 1667. He proposed to say nothing to them that evening of all the an cient remains in that locality—the British earth work, the Druidical remains, the Roman camp and town, the Norman abbeys, the Plantagenet castles with which that part of the country was so thickly studded; but he trusted his archmological friends would bear with him if for a moment he reminded them of how much of interest lay at their very feet. If they would learn ail that was known of the early history of Lude-low, and the solitary time the inha bitants must have had, they could consult no better authority than Wright's History. Others had chronicled the subsequent feuds in which their castle was engaged, and how different great men were alternately lords of the castle mad inmates of its dungeons. It was here, probably, that the great victory of Mortimer's Cross, Wrighton, Barnet, and Tewkesbury, were planned ; and here, probably, the forces were rallied after the great defeats of Ludford, Wakefield, St. Albans, and others. But it was not only as a stronghold of war that Ludlow Castle appealed to their sympathies, but after these tribulations had passed it became the chosen resi dence of royalty. Could those old walls speak, how many a story of the courtly revelries of the Princes of York might th e y un f o ld , h ow muc h o f m i ser y might they not divulge ! But 365 years ago the saddest scene of all was presented when the funeral cortege departed from those gates with the remains of Prince Arthur for their last long home under Worcester Cathedral, after a short period of happi ness in wedded life with the lovely Katherine of Arragon. Then, again, it vas here that the lofty intellect of Milton first drew attention in his " Comus," and here Butler's satirical pen wa s wielded. Passing over the government of Sir Henry Sidney, they came to the time when, s tripped of its roof,the old border rallying place of centuries, the castle became the ruin it now was. They might almost say of it as Sir E. Coke said 300 years ago : —" Si antiquitatem specter est vetusstissirna, si dig nitatem, honoratissima, si jurisdictionem cupassis sima." If they would gather something from these antiquarian reminiscences, they might ask them selves how careful the thought ought to make them when they reflected who the men were that quietly viewed the destruction of Ludlow Castle, and how THE SUN, LONDON, THURSOAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1867. a:axiom they should be that posterity should not - pass on them the same verdict as we did on those before us. Those days which saw the ruin of this for tress were not the days of what was called a bar barous age, but were the days when Swift and Con greve lashed the most prominent of our national vices; they were the days when the Spectator and the Tatler charmed our forefathers with the wit of Steele and Addison; the days when Bolingbroke, Pope, Ar buthnot, and others gave to the world a literature -which is still among our most cherished possessions. If, then, there was much to cause them to mix re gret with pleasure in viewing Ludlow Castle he was glad to say no such mingled feelings need be enter tained with respect to Ludlow Church. Sir Charles briefly sketched a history of the church, which he said had gone through three periods—a period of splendour, a partial eclipse, and a perfect revival. He then referred to other ancient remains in the town—the old town walls and one of the original gateways still standing, sites of two priories, and half-timbered gabled houses, and acknowledged the invitations received from the mayor and corporation of Ludlow, Lord Northwick, Lady Mary Clive, and Mr. Knight, of Downton, to visit Oakley Park, Burford, Downton Castle, &c. He should also him self have pleasure in receiving the association at Downton Hall, though he had not much of antiqua rian interest to show them, for they knew that old stones must not be moved if they wished them to retain their moss, and his family bad its foundation on a Warwickshire soil. In conclusion, he announced the inauguration of the 24th anniversary of the Bri tish Archaeological Association. To-day's excursion has been to Bitterly Church, Titterston (the Hill), to examine the ancient re mains there, and to Downton Hall, where the mem bers were entertained by the president. THE PUBLIC HEAL CH. daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the Southern Outfall Works, Crossness, was 57,025,591 gallons, or 259,093 cubic metres, equivalent to about as many tons by weight. Manders' extensive stud. The rattlesnake fastened on the off fetlock of the horse, which immediately reared and plunged to such an extent as to shake the reptile off, and before it could move away it was crushed to pieces beneath the hoofs of the horse. In a few minutes after the horse had received the bite from the loathsome reptile its whole frame quivered, its eyes nearly burst from their sockets, and its moans were piteous to hear. Two veterinary sur geons were brought, but their services were of no avail, for in a few minutes the horse died in fright ful agony. Meanwhile the bonassus was in such an infuriated condition that the doors of his den had to be put up and securely bolted. In a few seconds a heavy fall was heard in the caravan, and on the doors being opened the noble beast was expiring, and shortly afterwards died. Mr. 'ganders was summoned by telegraph, and on his arrival he ordered the door of the case containing the other rattlesnakes to be securely screwed down, so that it is impossible any future accident can occur with these deadly reptiles. By the permission of Mr. Manders, a post-mortem examination was made of th' carcasses of the bonassus and the horse, and they were buried in a field just outside Tunbridge Wells in the latter part of the day, a large quantity of quick lime and car bolic acid being thrown into the hole in order to hasten entire decomposition. Vast crowds of visitors thronged the menagerie during the remainder of the evening, and much sympathy was expressed for Mr. Manders under the above circumstances, which, it is said, have never had a parallel in this country. IREL AND. DUBLIN, July 31. At Cork, Galway, and Carrickfergus the judges congratulated the grand juries yesterday on the satisfactory state of the counties with respect to crime. Similar congratulations have been general during the present assizes. The calendars are usually light in summer, because of the short period since the spring assizes, and because the people are better employed than in winter. Galway seldom gives much trouble to the judges, and Chief Jus tice Monahan found it in the same tranquil state as when he was there three years ago. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald mingled warnings with his congratulations to the grand jury of Cork, and told them that under the seemingly calm surface might still lurk the spirit of insurrection. Mr. Justice O'Hagan got a present of white gloves at Carrickfergus because he had nothing to do there, an honour which the judges often receive in that place, as the county consists of a small old town on the Antrim side of the Belfast Lough and a few miles of the prosperous country adjoining. It is a remnant of the old world, and flourished when Belfast was only a fishing village. But for the honour of having sheriffs, and being complimented by judges, there seems to be no reason that assizes should be held at Carrickfergus at all. At the Tyrone Assizes there was a presentment of £1,500 for the malicious burning of the planta tions of the Marquis of Abercorn on the night of the 17th of March ; but Baron Hughes intimated that his Excellency, with his usual liberality, would not require the amount to be levied, believing that the crime was not committed by any one belonging to the district. The judge said that, having made himself master of the subject, he found that mali cious burnings were more frequent in that county than in any other in Ireland. The most heinous case at the Tyrone Assizes is the charge of an attempt at murder against Bernard M'Cullon and five others of the same name. The object of the attempt is the Rev. James M'lvor, D.D., who has been for 20 years rector of Ardstraw, in that county, and is much respected. The persons accused are over-holding tenants, against whom notices of ejectment had been served by Dr. M 'lvor. On the 26th of February last he was returning from the railway station at Newtown Stewart about 9 o'clock p.m., accompanied by his coachman and gardener, on a car, when he was fired at from be hind a hedge. The case was opened yesterday by Mr. Major, Q.C. The St. Helen's Murder. (From flu Registrar-General's Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, July 27, the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,451 ; the deaths registered, 2,816. The annual rate of mor tality was 21 per 1,000 persons living. In Loudon the births of 1,107 boys and 1,056 girls, in all 2,163 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1857-66 the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,008. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,347. It was the 30th week of the year, and a theaverag correction e numforberr e o as f edeathsofo p f o u r , a t t h i o e n w , k 45 i 3 3,. with T he deaths in the present retur n are less by 106 than the estimated number. The deaths in the metropolis from diarrhoea have rapidly increased since the week which ended June 22, when 16 person s died from the disease ; in the four following weeks the numbers were 48, 54, 115, 170. Last week 196 deaths from diarrhoea were registered ; 39 of these cases occurred in the west, 50 in the north, 22 in the central, 52 in the east, and 33 in the south districts. Twelve children and 3 adults died from cholera or choleraic diarrhcea. In the corresponding week of last year (1866) the deaths from diarrhcea were 319, and from cholera 904. The daughter of a timekeeeper, aged five years, died on the 4th of July at 1, Brown's-yard, Worship-street, Shoreditch, of typhoid fever with purpurea (6 days), convulsions (two days)." The daughter of a painter, aged 13 years, died on the 16th of July, at 1, York-grove, Carlton-road, Peck ham, of hydrophobia ; she was bitten by a dog two months since. (Inquest.)

The deaths of six persons who were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were registered. It appears by Dr. Franklancl's analysis that 100,000 tons of the water supplied by the London companies contained extraneous substances in various quantities, ranging from 24 to 39 tons ; the quantity in the Glasgow waters being only three tons. The Kent water taken at the works in Deptford was the hardest, and altogether the most impure. The annual rate of mortality last week was 23 per 1,000 in London, and 23 in Edinburgh, and 23 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 21 in Birmingham, 27 in Liverpool, 34 in Manchester, 27 in Salford, 21 in Sheffield, 24 in Leeds, 20 in Hull, 26 in Newcastle upon-Tyne, and 23 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 23 per 1,000 during the week ending the 10th inst., when the mean temperature was 8.6 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 21. At the Iloyal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.592 in. The barometrical reading increased from 29.42 in. on Friday, July 26, to 29.93 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air iu the week was 59.2 deg., which is 2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. GlAisher.) The highest day temperature was 74.1 deg. on Sunday, July 21. The lowest night temperature was 45 . 8 deg., on Thursday, July 25. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 28.3 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 63.8 deg. ; that of the lowest was 61.9 deg. The difference between the mean-dew point tem perature and air temperature was 7.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 77, com plete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 3.73 in., of which 3.67 in. fell on Friday, July 26. The general direction of the wind was S.W. On July 25, at midnight, rain commenced failing heavily, and fell without cessation until 10 a.m. on the 26th. During these ten hours the rainfall amounted to 3-18 in., an amount un precedentedly large for this locality. About 1.40 p.m. rain ag .in began to fail, and fell more or less heavily till 10 p.m., giving an additional fall of 0.19 in., and a total fall for the day of 3-67 in.—a greater amount than has ever been recorded in 24 hours at the Royal Observatory. As far as can be at present ascertained this remarkable rainfall was confined to a raoies of about ten miles from Green wich ; it extended to Crossness, where it was 3 31in. It will be seen that the largest fall measured in any of the other English towns furnishing weekly re turns was I.oBin. in Newcastle, while it did not amount to half an inch in any of the others. In Edinburgh, however, it was 3.70 in., or nearly the same as at Greenwich ; and in Glasgow 2.09 in. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the BletroAtaz Board of Works, the average The inquest on the body of Adam Mather, who was murdered at Greenleach, wasresumed on Tues- day, at the Town Hall, St. Helen's, before Mr. Duffield, the deputy county coroner. The court was densely crowded. Sergeant Whiteside, who was the first witness examined, said that about one o'clock on Sunday morning the 21st, he went to the house of Mather. On his arrival, he found Mather lying on a bed in a room adjoinino. the kitcien, dead, and with his throat cut. On the floor he found a razor case and cap saturated with blood, and on an examination of the garden he dis- covered foot prints and a pair of clogs. Witness also noticed in the road footprints of a person who had passed along without shoes on, anti these prints were traced across several fields until they were gradually lost in the main road.—Mr. Arthur Jamieson, surgeon, said he was called to see the de- ceased about 1 30 a.m. on the 21st, and found him dead. He found a wound extending from the back of the left car, following the line of the lower jaw to within two inches of the right ear. The wound was very deep on the left side, extending as far as the spine, and dividing in its course all the chief bloodvessels of that side of the neck. Any instru ment y sharp would h ave i n fli c t e d such a wound. exceedingly deceased could not have enxdc. d morewound than Tinhgel minutes. There was th e r chin extending to the jaw o n thet wen t y ano bone. He had examined a shirt which was stained with blood on the outside. There were stains of blood on it. He had examined a cap and pair of trousers belonging to the prisoner and bad found blood stains upon them. The pair of clogs found in the garden exactly fitted the prisoner. The stock ings of the prisoner were covered with mud. The texture of the stockings exactly corresponded to pieces found in the clogs. There were sores on the elbow which must have been recently inflicted. James Ludlam, superintendent of the St. Helen's police, said that about five o'clock on the morning of the murder, he searched the neighbourhood of Mather's cottage. The prisoner was brought from Prescot. Witness charged bim on suspicion with having murdered Adam Mather in his own cot tage at Greenleach, and the prisoner replied, " God forbid that I should ever be guilty of such a thing." When witness took prisoner's clothes from him the prisoner said, " Now, there is no blood on those trousers, for the doctor has examined them." Sergeant Brown, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that he placed himself in a position to watch the St. Helen's and Rainhill Roads. He had not been on the watch long before the prisoner came down the road lead ing from St. Helen's. When prisoner saw witness he hesitated to come forward, but perceiving he was noticed ne advanced. Prisoner crossed the street, went up against a blank wall, put a pipe in his mouth, and struck a match. Witness turned round and appeared not to be taking any notice, and the prisoner then commenced to walk forward again, in the direction of Liverpool, and crossed the road. Witness followed him, and the prisoner turned to look over his shoulder. Prisoner took a sharp turn up Tea-street, Prescot, and was about to enter a lodging house when he was apprehended. Witness asked him where he came from, and he said St. Helen's. When asked where his coat was prisoner said, " What's that to you?" Witness said he would have to answer the question, and prisoner was re moved to the police station. The shirt, stockings, and cap produced were taken from the prisoner. Superintendent Fowler stated that when he at tempted to take off Smith's shirt the prisoner trem bled so violently and turned so pale and unwell that he would have fallen to the ground had not the officers supported him. The prisoner asked given N e v3 n s latter, and why f N o v r it a ne d ss ri a n s k ke o d f hi N t n vat w er h , at w w h a ic s h th lx,; trembled, and the prisoner replied, " You would shake if you had as much drink in you as I have had." James Birchall, employed in one of the glass works, deposed to having met the prisoner in Tun stall's public-house at eight o'clock, and purchased a shirt from him. Witness was there again at one o'clock, and heard him barter with an old man for his clogs, but the old man would not have them ' because he said they were cut away at the ankles. Richard Lee, glassblower, proved that he had ex changed the cap found in Mather's house for one which the prisoner had. George Ashton said he saw the prisoner about five minutes to 12 o'clock on of deceased' s house.

(From the Liverpool Mercury.) Some weeks ago a group of eight American rattlesnakes which had been landed at Liverpool were purchased by Mr. William Manders, and were first exhibited by that gentleman at Northampton. As the box in which the snakes had been brought over was to a certain extent unsafe, Mr. Manders had a stout case expressly manufactured for their reception, and the poisonous reptiles were installed in their new quarters. The new case had a thick plate-glass front and top, hot-water cisterns under neath, and a small door fastened by a spring latch on one side. This case fitted in a massive oak box, in which it was placed when the snakes were not on exhibition, every possible precaution being taken to prevent an accident. Mr. Manders arrived with his menagerie at Tunbridge Wells, on Friday morning last," set" the caravans he left for an a London,ssoon a to superintend s u i.w hadrin tend the debarkation of t he three giraffes which he had purchased, and which were then on board a steamer in Blackwall detained in London Saturday, and when he Runetaicl summoned m ll m l o r n . e A d la to nd re e t r u s rn w o as n did reach the menagerie again he was dismayed at o m rn e i t n il g is th ey e es keeper who attends the t o h n e s s a ig t h ur t d w ay hic na h It appeared that early menagerie had put a large reptile f department wator n of the c n t k h ee fire which stands in the centre of the enclosure, so that he might be enabled to fill the cisterns with hot water. During the time the saucepan was heating the man proceeded w ith his work, and at length he took the case conta inin g the rattlesnakes out of the box, and commenced cleaning the exterior. While he was so engaged the spring latch of the door at the side of the case be came detached, and the door dropped down. At this moment the water in the pan boiled over, and the keeper rushed to the fire to remove the pan, in cautiously leaving open the door of the rattlesnake case. On his return to resume his work he saw that one of the large s t o f th e sn akes had escaped from the case, and wa s p eer i ng about, hissing i n a terrible manner, and shaki ng it s fearful rattle. T h e man closed the open d oor o f the case, and then w a rn e d his companions, who were cleaning up the menagerie previous to its opening for a morning exhibition. A panic seized the men, and with the greatest dif ficulty an elderly man named Frank Godfrey pre vailed on some of them to remain in the enclosure, and endeavour to recapture the fearful reptile. Arming themsel ves w ith shovels, fo rks, scra p ers, brooms, Go'_lfrey, proceed e d towards the snake. The B cc., the keepers, un der the direction of rep tile, during these preparations, remained perfectly quiet, but on the a pproach of the kee p ers—which was heralded by a large sack being attempted to be thrown over him—the reptile leisurely proceeded up the centre of the enclosure, hissing fearfully all the time. It did not appear to notice any of the occu pants of the numerous cages and dens until it came to the caravan containing the bona ssus, a s p ecies of buffalo—an immense animal, weighing upwards of two tons. This caravan is what is technically termed a " well" caravan, the centre portion between the front and hind wheels nearly touching the ground. On arriving opposite this caravan the rattlesnake paused for a mo m ent, and then made a s p ring, fas tened on the bonassus, and bit it in the left nostril. The reptile then let go its grip, and, shaking its rattles, glided through an op enin g between two of the caravans, where some of Mr. Manders' grooms were fillinc , a cart with stravt. To this cart was at taelled on; pl the finest horses i)eloligiDg to Dir. AGRICUL7 URAL GANGS. The following is a copy of a bill introduced into the House of Lords by the Lord Chancellor, entitled an Act for the Regulation of Agricultural Gangs :-- " Whereas in certain counties in England certain persons known as gangmaiters hire children, young persons, and women, with a view to contracting with farmers and others for the execution on their lands of various kinds of agricultural work ; and whereas it is expedient to make regulations with re- spect to the employment of children, young persons, and women by gaugmasters. Be it enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and tem poral, and commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : '‘ 1. This act may be cited for all purposes as The Agricultural Gangs Act, 1867.' ,c 2. This act shall come into operation on the Ist of January, 1869. ,‘ 3. The following words and expressions shall in this act have the meanings hereby assigned to them, unless there is something in the context inconsistent with such meanings ; that is to say, shall mean a child under the age - of 13 years ; young person' shall mean a prson of the age of 13 years and under the age of 18 years ; woman' shall mean a female of the age of 18 years or upwards ; gang master' shall mean any person who hires children, young persons, or women, with a view to their being employed in agricultural labour on lands not in his own occupation ; and, until the contrary is proved, any children, young persons, or women em -1 ployed in agricultural labour on lands not in the occupation of the person who hired them shall be I I deemed to have been hired with the aforesaid view ; agricultural gang' shall mean a body of children, young persons, and women, or any of them, under the control of a gangmaster. i‘ 4.

Any person aggrieved by the refusal of the justices to grant him a license to act as gangmaster may appeal to the next practicable court of general or quarter sessions ; and it shall be lawful for such court, if they see cause, to grant a license to the applicant, which shill b 3 of the same validity as if it;had been granted by the justices in petty sessions. "8. Licenses under this act shall be in force for one year only, and may be annually renewed on the same prom: on which au original license is granted. " 9. There snail be charged in respect of each grant or renewal of license a fee of is., and such fee shall be accounted for and applied iu manner iu which the fees ordinarily received by the authority granting the license are applicable. " 10. On any conviction of a gangmaster of any offence against this act, the justices who convict him shall endorse on his license the fact of such conviction ; and on any conviction of such gangmaster of a second olence against this act the justices may, in addition to any other penalty, sus pend his license for a period not exceeding six woutlia ; and on any conviction of any gangmaster of a third offence against this act the justices may, in addition to any other penalty, suspend his license for a period not exceeding two years ; and after a fourth conviction for an offence against this act, the gangmaster shall be disqualified from holding or receiving a license under this act.

" 12. This act shall not apply to Scotland or Ire land." FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. (From Le Fo!let.) Those who are not already enjoying the refresh ing sca breezes are doubtless anticipating the moment when they too shall leave the great city, and travelling and sea-side costumes are just now more attractive than the elegant and costly dresses with which we have almost been dazzled at the late fetes. As is usual at this time of the year, our modistes prepare the most elegant and recherché as well as the simplest of toilettes, and this season they are certainly not behindhand in origi nality or good taste; and although some may be too eccentric to last, yet the larger number of models are in such good taste that, with very slight alterations, they will be quite as appropriate for town wear. We will, however, proceed to describe some of those most worthy of notice. A short skirt of white pique cut in squares round the bottom, like turrets, and edged with " Bis marck" coloured braid, each breadth caught to gether by a ladder of brown braid, with the smallest bows of the same coloured ribbon placed here and there, but not too closely together. The petticoat also of pique, with three rows of the braid put straight round. Short paletot, cut and trimmed to match the upper skirt ; sleeves nearly tight, also trimmed with braid. The dress and paletot fastened with buttons of brown silk. The same model may be made of toile ecrue, Sultane, or alpaca, trimmed with a braid of the same colour, only a shade or two darker than the dress; or, if of white alpaca or Sultane, rouleaux of coloured or black silk may be substituted. The costume " Prince Charmant" is of bouton d'or silk, trimmed on the lower skirt with six rouleaux of black velvet very close to each other. The over-skirt, of the same silk, is cut in tulip or bell-shaped designs all round, and edged with velvet. The paletot is in the same style. This dress is ori ginal, but not likely to be very generally adopted. The same design iu blue or green and white, or violet and grey, would be elegant and distingue. The costume " Sultane" has the under-skirt of blue silk, trimmed with a bias fold of white silk and a "Tom Thumb" fringe, also of white silk. The upper skirt of rich striped silk, white and blue, cut in deep points, and edged with blue fringe. Instead of a paletot an oriental scarf, crossed in front at the waist and fastened low down at the back of the skirt by a bow of blue ribbon, may be worn. Alpaca or woollen materials are the most in request for sea-side dresses ; the petticoat, dress, and paletot of the same material, and trimmed to match. For this style of dress the new poil de chevre chine—striped, checked, or plain—is a charming material, preserving its freshness so much longer than almost any other, and not easily injured by rain. A dress of " Bismarck" coloured silk, with a plaited flounce at the bottom of the skirt. Blouse of a shad e li g ht er o f th e same colour in very narrow stripes, cut in deep points, and edged with a bias fold of the plain silk. Round pelerine, cut in points, and edged with narrow lace. Ceinture with large bow and wide ends, fringed, at the back. A short costume of blue-grey taffetas, made with two skirts, the upper being caught up by bows of the same shade as the material, without ends, and plated in threes between each festoon. Small loose paletot, very short behind, and ending shawl-shape in the front. Small butterfly bows are placed all round the bottom, and up the front and middle of the back. Tunic of white chaly, cut in deep points, over a skirt of light golden-brown taffetas ; the points of the tunic are edged with three rows of brown taffetas. The white body is cut very low, over a high brown body, and is finished at the top in deep vandykes, also edged with brown taffetas ; and a similar trimming is placed round the sash, which is fastened with two ends at the side. Dress of pale green taffetas. Low body, corslet fashion, with a deep basque, trimmed with a white bead fringe. Large sleeves, half long, with under sleeves formed of bouillonnes. One side of the skirt is opened so as to show a pale green petticoat with four rows of white bead fringe. Toilette of white muslin over blue, the skirt very long behind, trimmed above the hem with two rows of pattes ending in points, and being about three inches wide and six or eight long. Those of the upper row placed near together are of white em broidered muslin, edged with thick guipure ; in the second row the pattes are of blue taffetas, also trimmed with guipure ; above these ornaments is an embroidered insertion over blue. Small paletot, very short, trimmed round to match, and also on the epaulette and sleeve. Short dress of poult de soie, " Bismarck" colour, the skirt very thickly plaited, like the Scotch dress ; and a paletot, also plaited, very ;short behind, not fitting to the waist, but longer in front and with mantelet square ends ; tight sleeves. Over this costume a tunic of black grenadine is worn, looped up in three places in front by jet galon ; and round the bottom two rows of black lace are placed heading to heading, the join being hidden by a galon of jet. Paletot of black grenadine—to which the Bismarck paletot seems to form a lining—trimmed to match, with lace and galon. Travelling dress of grey poil de chevre, two skirts, trimmed with bands embroidered in diffe rent colours. Casaque in the same style. White mohair under skirt, with a plisse. Dress of white taffetas, with a pattern of very narrow lines, or rather threads, of black. The skirt is scalloped round the bottom, and looped up with brides of black guipure, over a trained skirt of blue taffetas. Very low ceinture body of the white taf fetas, with an under high body and tight sleeves of blue taffetas, the latter trimmed on the seams with black guipure. Robe Louis XV., of white taffetas striped with rose colour. The bottom of the skirt is opened up every here and there, showing a piece of the same material plaited, having the afetearance of a flounce. High body and sleeves of white taffetas, and small corslet of rose coloured taffetas, without sleeves, and ending behind in a long train made with three tunics trimmed round with black lace._Ceinture with short ends tied at the side. Evening dress of white Chambery gauze worked with bouquets of field flowers. Skirt trained ; low body, with two bouillonnes of gauze separated by wreaths of field flowers, the upper wreath edging round the body and sleeves. Very wide ribbon sash, worked in bouquets of field flowers with butterflies upon them. There is little, if any, change in the size and style of bonnets. They are certainly not larger, but many of our clever modistes have been so successful in making elegant head dresses in the place of the large bonnets that for young faces one cannot at least regret the change ; and a coiffure of blonde or lace and flowers, skilfully arranged, is certainly not more unbecoming than the large over-trimmed bonnets of bygone days. We will not, however, take up our readers' time with our own opinions, but give them some of the newest models on which to form their own. A fanchon of white Malines tulle, with scarf of the same raised above the chignon by a bow of white ribbon ; at the edge a wnath of ivy -leaves mixed with gold berries. A fanchonnette of white tulle bouilloune, with rouleaux of white satin. At the back a bow of white satin over a fall of blonde, which is continued so as to form the strings ; on the front edge a wreath of strawberry blossom with green leaves bronzed, the same wreath continuing down the brides of blonde. Narrow white satin strings, fastened under the chignon. A bonnet of tulle " Bismarck," the curtain of blonde, the same colour, which is continued en brides. At the front edge and across the curtain pear-shaped drops, bronze colour ; at the side two gold rose-leaves and bird of Paradise feather. The barbes also fastened with gold leaves. A bonnet of violet tulle, style " Marie An toinette," with pear-shaped drops of gold round the front. Between etch drop is placed a violet the natural colour ; a violet ostrich feather falling at the side, and from that a chain of gold passing en collier under the chin over the brides of violet tulle, which are spotted with violets. A fanchonnette of pink tulle bouillonne, with a bow of pink ribbon and barbes of pink tulle hemmed with crystal beads ; a wreath of small pink and white daisies across the front, continuing en collier over the tulle barbes. A fanchon of light blue tulle, covered with wreaths of leaves " Bismarck" colour ; the same falling over the strings. At the side a bouquet of forget we-not. A fanchon of mauve tulle, with "Mary Stuart" wreath, in violets of Parma, descending at each side over the collier of tulle, which is edged with a silk fringe. At the side a spray of rose-buds in gold. A bonnet of blue crape bouillonne, covered by a scarf of white tulle. It is trimmed all round with a fringe of seed pearls. On the front is a wreath of bronzed leaves, which falls over the chignon and the scarf of tulle, which is fastened under the chin by a bouquet of small leaves. A fanchon of white tulle plaited, trimmed with wheat-ears and poppies. The brides are of tulle, trimmed round with blonde, and fastened under the chin with a bouquet. Strings of white ribbon, em ' broidered to match the flowers, are fastened under the chignon. • A very elegant bonnet, prepared for country toilette, was of fancy straw, very flat across the head. The edge was trimmed with a wreath of field flowers, and a scarf of tulle fastened at the edge formed the brides, which were very long and wide. COUNTRY MARKETS. SALISBURY.-TUESDAY.
