NE Y :SI AItK E T AND CODMIZROIAL INTELLICTENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocr% The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with an upward tendency, and prices of American were nearly, if not quite id. per lb. dearer than last week. Slrat and Egyptian were id. per lb. dearer ; but all other sorts were unchanged. The sales were 10,000 bales, 1,503 for export and a small quantity on speculation, comprising 070 Pernam and Maranham, 6Ad. to 7/ 2 d. ; SO Bahia, 51. to 61 ; 250 Egyptian, 50. to Bd. ; and 1,000 Surat, 3d. to 40. per lb. The Railway Share Market was dull, closing at i s worst prices. This being a holiday in the Stock Exchange and at the Transfer Offices at the Bank of England, advantage has been taken of the fineness of the lay to abstain from business, and very few outside ba t rgains have been entered into. Among the quotations that have been mentioned have been Consols, 87i 4 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 781- to 79 ; and the New Scrip, 31, discount. The Vauxhall Bridge Company this day made a dividend of 14s. per share, free of income tax. NEWTON-ABBOT AGRICULTURAL AND LABOURERS' FRIEND 'SOCIETY. -- - The seventeenth annual ploughing match of the society took place on Monday, on Hennberough Farm, in the occupation of Mrr. Beazley, near Newton. Operations were commenced at an early hour in the presence of many of the yeomanry f the district. The practice was considered very good. Two other br,incbes of agricultu ral labour, thatching and hedging, were also prosecuted on the ground, the latter with great vigour, and were watched with considerable interest. Prizes are awr.rded at these meetings to both male and female labourers for length of agricultural service and for industry; also, to tenant farmers fur ability and excellence in cultivation of estates. At four o'clock about 100 gentlemen and farmers assembled at Beazley's Globe Hotel, Newton, and sat down to a substantial dinner. Lawrence Palk, E-q., N.P. for South Devon, presided. After the usual loyal and other routine toasts had been drunk, "The Health of the Chairman" was pro- posed, and received most enthusiastically. In acknowledging the compliment, Mr. Palk said it was now some years since he first had the honour of dining with them on such an' occasion. They had often had happy meetings, but he must say he felt extremely flattered at seeing the large and important assembly then before him. lie was aware he must not take the entire compliment of supposii git to be the effect of his pre siding on that occasion, but he might take it as a proof that he had done nothing to induce them to withhold that confidence which they had reposed in him, and that they were so far glad to see him_ (Cheers.) Deeply con cerned as the happiness and prosperity of this country were in the whole question of agriculture, therenever was a time when the question was of greater irnportarce than it was at this moment, when we were engaged in a great war, and he believed a war that was just, holy, and ne cessary. (Cheers.) There was scarcely a house in the land in which it had not occasioned sorrowing and tears ; but they were reconciled to their bereavements by the reflection that those who fell fought for a great and glo rious cause. (Hear.) But, practically speaking, a'theugh we did not see the " horrors of war," it introduced a series of evils into this country, which it was our duty to foresee and provide against. One material operation of the war was to impede the introduction of foreign corn into this country, and so to throw on the agricul turists the necessity of increasing the produce of the soil to provide for the wants of the population. And here, though politics were forbidden to be introduced into their assemblies—and he was the last man who would attempt to infringe that rule—he must make a passing allusion to times gone by, when agriculturists were in great di tress, and when they were coldly told by those who had effected a certain great political change that if they (the farmers) could not grow corn they had better turn their attention to something else. (Hear.) He was happy to say the energy of the agricultural interest did not desert them at that critical time—they did not turn away to other pursuits, but they devoted th, it at tention to the growing of larger crops, cr newer and bet ter methods. (Hear.) Another result of the war which they would have to contend against was the great de mand it created for human life. From every part of the country the young and active man, who in peaceful times would have become a labourer on the soil or a mechanic in the mill, was hurried off to the seat of war, and consequently a want of labour had for some time been felt. He had experienced it himself, and it had been called very seriously to his attention. There was another sad reflection be could not help making—it seemed that the farmer bad not now the control over his labourer which he used to have. He had been told by many agriculturists that if they complained of the conduct of a man, or said a word to him, he demanded his day's wages, away he went and left the employer in a disagreeable position. He was satisfied that much of the damage that was supposed to be accidentally done to crops and plant of the farmer was due to the negligence of idle boys. In olden times there was a system—he did not pretend to say it was faultless, but it was attended with most excellent results—he meant the system of apprenticeship. The boy was carefully in structed in his duties by the farmer, while the girl was probably brought up under the eye of the mistress of the house, and both became useful members of society ; but he regretted ti say there was now a system which he hoped was not prevalent, but which bad lately come unduer his notice, and which would be most unfortunate if it became general—he meant the system of taking and dismissing servants without a character. This was a serious matter; for it appeared to him that the character of every man, whether he was the servant in the farm, or one who served his country in the senate— was dear to him and should be given to bun. If they withheld from the honest servant the character which he had richly de served, what recompense did they offer him ? Was not the wages that the servant earned, nor the home that the master gave, which was most highly prized, but the hope of rising in his station—a hope which should bean in ducement to everyman and woman to do well, and which should be encouraged. Another question which had lately attracted much attention amongst those who wished well to the agricultural interest, was that of education— one worthy the attention of every man who had the well being of his fellow-creatures at heart. The time was gone by when men would be contented with what they saw immediately around them- The facilities of railroads induced men to travel, and the cheapness of literature gave them a taste for research. It was to the cheapness of literature, the opportunity of mixing with practical men, and of seeing different customs in diffe rent countries that the marked improvement in Devon farming was to be attributed. They had introduced a very superior system of cultivation into this county, and many of the improvements they had seen practised in other countries. But, reverting to education, he much regretted that no general measure bearing on it had yet met with the approbation of the Legislature of this coun try. He recollected attending night after night in the House of Commons, and listening to debates on the ques tion, but, like many men of greater experience, he did at last reluctantly confess in his own mind that the ques tion of education was the most difficult that be had ever attempted to grapple with. It aas difficult because there were so many circumstances tint bad effect on edu cation. Besides the separation of houses in agricultural districts, there was the greater obstacle of young child ren being early called to labour and made assistants in the support of themselves, and it would probably be difficult, if not unjust, to enforce education under these circumstances. Still, little by little, the question of edu cation would press itself on the attention of all, and pos sibly some plan would at last be devised by which, if education should not be rendered compulsory by law, it.should be rendered oompulsory through the public ap preciating the benefits that would flow from it. So much had the necessity for education impressed the minds of those who took a lead in the legislature of this country, that they would see a noble lord (Lord Ebrington), whose antecedents were certainly not very particularly associated with the agricultural interests—had at last arrived at the decision that education would he a great boon to the agriculturists, and that agriculture was a science worthy of support and assistance. He had, there fore, offered a prize, which he (Mr. Palk) hoped would be well contested for, to the farmer's son who was most proficient in history, geography, and mathematics. The noble lord had undoubtedly given this prize rize with every that it might stimulate the risingindustry of the eons of agriculturi s t s . Whether the subjects that had been selected were the best adapted to agriculturrists he would leave to more practical men .to determine; but this he knew, that the knowledge o f history would do any one harm, that the knowledge of geography might never be very beneficial to agriculturists, and that an ac quaintance with practical mathematics twoeurledgionircoluout kind of information bea r i n g on many of the ts of the farmer. (Hear.) He hoped on Thursday next to have the honour of m e e tin g a lar g e bod y.of agricul turists in his neighbourhood, to show them a system— largely adopted in other counties, but not carried to such an extent as he had attempted to carry it—a system of meadow irrigation. For the last 6or 7 years, with the assistance of a tenantry, who, he believed, bore a richly-deserved reputation in this county, he had been remodelling some valleys, and turning orchards, hed g es, lanes, and horrible holes, so he called them, into what had now become green and fertile meadows ; all irri gated under a system that made the most of the running water, the atmosphere, and the sunshine. (Applause.) In conclusion, ho asked the society why they did not give prizes for landlords as well as for tenant-fanners and labourers ? (Cheers.) He would most gladly com pete. Perhaps they would tell him that they already gave a high prize for landlords, and he admitted it, for where the landlord endeavoured to do his best for hit tenantry, there they would find the best and most enter prising of tenants. (Loud cheers ) Other toasts were proposed and responded to, and the chairman soon after retired ; the meeting, however, did not break up until a late hour.

The following appointments have br lea made at the Admiralty this day : Nothing doing at Tattersall's this evening. to this court, and a warrant was granted for her appro. hen'don. Gue:. , t, 62 L, one of the warrant officers or the court, said he took her into custody last night, and locked her up in the Stone's-end station-house. John Mills, 171 M, said he was on duty last evening shortly before five o'clock, when the prisoner was brought to the station-house by Guest, and charged on a warrant. About five minutes after she was locked up, witnc,s, who had charge of the cells, heard a shuffling noise proceed from the one she was locked in. He im mediately proceeded there, and nn opening the door he perceived her lying on the floor with a piece of string tied tightly round her neck. She was in convulsions, and nearly black in the face. Witness cut the eard and sent for Dr. Odling, who attended immediately and re stored her to her senses. Sumo time after that she was taken ill again from the effects of the attempt she had made on her life. Mr. A'Beckett asked her what she had to say for attempting to take away her life ? She replied that she did not know. Her sansei must have left her at the LAW INTELLIGENCE —(a his Day.) This was a meeting for choice of assign( iet . Mr. Lawrence (of Lawrence, Plewg, and Co.), ap peared in support of the petition; Mr. Lin, Mater for the bankrupt. The bankrupt, at the time of the pre u ,nting of the petition, was member of Parliament for Hereford, and carried on an extensive business as au 'xi master at the Sonder Iron Works, North Wales.. He was de scribed as of Stratton-street, Piccadilly, dof Foxley, Herefordshire, iron master, dealer and cr al )man. Mr. David Lloyd, of Rood-lane, y, wholesale grocer, and Mr. Robert Simpson, of (Charlotte-row, City, were appointed assignees. time. Guest, the summoning officer, informed the magistrate that there were charges against her by other individuals ,o be heard on Monday next. Mr. A'Beckett said, that if such was the case he shcaild remand her to gaol until that day. In the mean time she would have an opportunity of reflecting on the crime she had committed in attempting to destroy her self. She was accordingly remanded until Monday next. THE GALES AND TILE SHIPPING. WHITBY, Wednesday.---On Monday night a strong gale from the E.N.E. sprang up on this coast, with a heavy sea and rain, which continue to this time. No vessels appeared at sea instil 4 p.m. on Tuesday, whoa a Humber keel came into Whitby roads, with the inten tion of taking the port, but when nithin a quarter of a mile from the harbour mouth, two heavy waves struck her in succession, the second dashing into her mainsail, whereupon she immediately upet, and all hands were drowned. The hull, bearing on the stern " Hannah of Goole," drifted on shore about two miles north of the harbour, where, without much injury, it still r.unains. The name " Hannah" is also painted in white letters on the quarter hoard. None cf the bodies have yet washed up. About 8 p.m. on Tuesday, the brig Finland Smith, of Hartlepool, came on shore about a mile to Vie northward, and wasimmediatelyfollowed by the Friendship, Brackley, also of Hartlepool, which made the sands a little to the northward of the Finland. About 9.30 p.m. the brig Con tent, Howes, also of Hartlepool, likewise ran on shore two or three bundred yards to the northward of the har bour. The three last-mentioned brigs were all in ballast, from Hamburg, and their crews are saved. The Finland and Content will most likely be got off, but the Friend ship is in a less fortunate position, being on the Lector Rook. The coast guard rendered most efficient service to all the vessels by showing port fires, which, by at tracting them to Whitby Samt , , prevented theirdestruo tion on the rocks to the northward and southward. It was understood that the accounts a defici ency of 30,0001., but that there was suflia tent property to meet the liabilities, and that, in con: sequence, an application would be made to supersede thi bankruptcy. POLICE INTET.T,IGENCE--( tiis Day.) THN OLD DODGE. —Thomas Richards w ae; placed at the bar, charged with being concerned with others in de frauding Captain N. A. Lindholm, of the Swedish schooner Sabina, now lying in the Com' ncrcial Docks, of 221. 103., by card-playng. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor met a man yesterday, on one of the river- steamers, who offered him part of his umbrella, and, as lit was raining, he accepted it. They afterwards we-at to the Anchor and Hope, Lower Thames-street, where they saw two men sitting in the parlour. The usual ignorance of each other was assumed at their meeting, but shortly after one of them spoke, and a cigar box was p roduced. After that some cards made their appearance, and betting commenced, the prosecutor at first winuing 45., 205., and other small sums, which were paid him. Some other persons came in, when the prisoner said he did not like to be seen betting in public, and they all adjourned to a house in Lower Tham es-street, and resumed card playing. He lost all the money he had in his pocket, 21. 10s., on which the man 'tie met in the steam-boat told him that the prisoner could lend him 501. or 1001. if he wanted it. He went on playing and lost 201., for which he gave the prisoner an order on his owners for the amount. The owners had not paid the money nor would they now. The prisoner, although he had never been in custody before, was well known to the police, as a man who picked up captains of vessels and others to be fleeced in this way. The Lord Mayor said that in this case the prisoner had not obtained the money, and under the circum stances, as the captain was likely to leave London in a few days, he discharged the prisoner. He ordered the policeman to band back to the captain the order he had given for the payment of the money which was found upon the prisoner whe❑ he was apprehended. Mr. Lewis at first objected, but his lordship peremp torily directing it to be done, Mr. Lewis said it mat tered not as the prisoner could sue the captain without it for money lent. The Lord Mayor—Sue indeed. I should think he would know better than do it. His lordship having cautioned the captain, and the order having been given back to him, The prisoner was discharged. The heavy gales continue to cause considerable damage amongst the shipping. The latest accounts received from the cutports report, as will be seen below, the wreck of a considerable number of ships : LOWESTOFFE, Oct. 31.—The Planet, from Memel, went ashore on the Newsome, yesterday, and has become a total wreck ; crew landed ; the cargo is being saved.

The Rebecca, brig, of South Shields, Webster, drove ashore near the Tees, this after noon, and is expected to become a wreck ; crew saved. SCARBOROUGH, Oct. 30.—The Miner, Cockburn, from Hamburg for Newcastle, in ballast, came ashore in this bay, at 4 p.m., during a heavy gale ; crew saved by the lifeboat. The Hebe, Burton, of and for Wisbeach, from Sunderland, with coal, went on shore in Filey Bay this mooning, during a heavy gale from E. to E.N.E., waterlogged, and in a sinking state; crew saved.

However, delightful the whole contri bution is for the most part, from its commencement in October to its conclusion in November—the pro minent charm of the later moiety being discernible in that exquisitely humorous Asopian or Pilpayan dialogue between the Author and Tickler—Tickler, by the way, speaking [now and then as he should do by nature, and therefore by right, somewhat dogmatically, but modestly withal, as becomes a dog of his breeding and evident self-possession. We turn the last gay leaf of the contribution with a sigh Eheu, vale et benedicite I An earnest tribute is offered to the memory of Professor Johnston through the medium of an eulogistic criti cism upon his last work, " The Chemistry of Com mon Life." The first article in the November number of Blackwood being in reference to "The Eastern Shores of the Black Sea," the last is more comprehensively directed to the whole question of the " War Politics," explaining very lucidly, for [ the benefit of -every ignoramus, like Mr. John Bright, of Manchester, the precise nature of the objects for which we are just now fighting. Major Hamley draws to a close his animated narrative, in thirty-two chapters, of the " Story of the Cam paign of Sebastopol"—a valuable fragment of con temporary history, now on the eve of separate pub lication. Besides these half-dozen papers of varied interest, there are two others before us not yet particularised. One a flippant jumble of literary "notices" anent certain "Travel lers' Tales " recently given to the world as among the contributions to modern light literature—a pert cluster of pragmatic reviews, in which the writer betrays at once inordinate lack of judgment and incorrigible self-sufficiency. Among other evidences of which are the sneers di rected against one of the pleasantest books of travel for a long time past submitted to the notice of the reading public —we mean the " Wabash" of Mr. Beste, a genuine book, a book of undoubted ability, racy, genial, and unaffected. It appears to us ra ther bungling upon a matter of taste, when Black wood falls foul of the very title of the " Wabash " —scouting it either as a catchpenny or as a mere conceit—rather bungling, we say, at the very time when, from the great house of George-street, Edin burgh, there has just come forth that volume by Laurence Oliphant, entitled " Minnesota." What, we ask, is the precise value of the difference ? Six for the " Wabash " and half-a-dozen for " Minne sota 1" A river, we take it, may quite as well as any district, furnish a title for a traveller's book of adventures. The other paper not yet mentioned as completing the contents of the current BlaCk wood, affords us, through a Letter to Irenseus, half-an s hour's chit-chat about " Paris and the Ex hibition." Sic transit, .&c.—whether as to the Edinburgh Magazine or the Paris Exhibition. Colburn.—The first paper in the New Monthly is on the " Progress of Russia in Europe," which subject having been sufficiently discussed we will only say that it follows the phases of the Russian empire during the last century and a half, that is to say, since its first possession of any influence in Europe. A lively paper on " French Almanacs for 1856" gives us several amusing extracts from them. " Ensign Pepper's Letters from the Crimea" are concluded, which is not much to be re gretted, as they had too much of the serious realities in them to be merely amusing, and too much vulgarity to be pathetic. "My Exile in Siberia" gives a sketch of the life and adventures of the writer of that remarkable work. Those who have not perused M. Herzen's memoirs will learn the comforts of a life in Russia, when suspected of liberal opinions, from this paper. A sketch, entitled " Little Speculators," treats of that mania which has darkened so many lives and brought ruin and desolation to many happy homes. A somewhat ambitious poem, entitled " Sevastopol," is not at all strikinc Though of a considerable length it does not ris above mediocrity. The " Occasional Notes of French Literature " are continued. Cuvillier Fleury is the subject of the present notice. "Stoke Dottrell " progresses, with the enlivening incident of a murder. The " Riding to the Tournament" is a graceful and lively poem, though its meaning is not very clear. " Millicent and Philip Crane is an old story, pleasingly told by the author of " The Unholy Wish.' It is melancholy, as all his stories are, and terminates sa dl y . A gossip about "Modern Song Writers" contains an interesting notice of our living English lyrists. Due honour is rendered to Barry Cornwall, Thomas Haynes Bayly, Charles Swain, and their com panions ; and among lady miters, to Eliza Cook, Mary Howitt, Mrs. Norton, and Lady Dufferin. It is justly observed that the reason why so few lyrics are suitable for music is, that though the words may come in, the accent falls in the wrong place. The secret of successful song writing, we are told, is the combination of a musical ear with a poetic) temperament. A curious tale from the German is entitled "Death and the Doctor." "The Eighteenth Century" is continued, and the present instalment treats of the appalling subject of the punishment of criminals. Well might London in those days be called " The City of the Gallows!" The number of executions for comparatively small offences is perfectly frightful, while the tortures to whicli the unfortunate victims who refused to con fess were subjected, is even worse. We have little cause to boast cf modern humanity when we find that in 1735, a man was crushed to death for re fusing to confess a murder, and that, in 1742, the torture of thumb-screws was applied at the Cam bridge assizes. J. E. Carpenter contributes one of his pleasing lyrics. Colburn's United Servie.e.—" The War in the East" meets as usual with an appropriate share of editorial attention, and much useful information and noticeable comment is to be found in connec tion with it. " The Services of Sir John Bur goyne," both in a civil and military capacity, are ably vindicated, and in connection with this sub ject a paper on the " Earthworks and the Defence of Sebastopol " may be read with advantage. " Bessarabia, Nicolaieff, Oczakoff " are noticed in a useful paper, and " A Visit to the Camp at Helfaut" will repay perusal. Attention may also be directed to an article on " Naval Cadets and their Education," in which will be found many sensible remarks, as well as to a leaf in the " Ech• tor's Portfolio," in which General Simpson is ac quitted of mismanagement and want of forethought, and sarcastic remarks are to be found on the dis gusting affair at Windsor. Lord Hardinge, i n the latter, passes for Dame Quickloy, and our brave fellows in the Crimea are said to have reason l to exclaim " deliver us f rom L or d Ernest Vane. Dublin University. A Tale from Oriental His tory entitled "Sultan Akbad's Love," or "The Siege of Chittore," is of considerable interest, and contains some curious accounts of Eastern manners and customs. The story is narrated in a spirited style, and the unfortunate Rajah and his beautiful queen are a worthy hero and heroine of romance, from their courage and constancy, and from their perilous careers and untimely end. The wild and ungosfernable Sultan besieged Chittore for the pur pose of carrying away the Queen Padmani, of whose beauty he had heard a fabulous description. He wished to accomplish his purpose by stratagem, and pretended to relinquish the siege. In a final interview which he requested with the Rajah he contrived to make the latter a prisoner. After many devices and deceits, unworthy of a great warrior, he succeeded in inveigling Padmani to her husband's prison. However, the beautiful object of all this turmoil was too wise, and by a clever stratagem she sent her brother and some of his friends, disguised, in a litter. With the assistance of these devoted adherents the Rajah escaped, but only to exchange an ignoble for a glorious death. The Sultan returned to the siege, and the Raj . a ,i l l ' . died defendi ng hi s f or t ress .

There are some peculiar cha racters introduced, which are graphically described, and some of them are amusing in their consequen tial self-importance. The incident of the mob surrounding the house of the arrogant Lord Pam padour is ably told, and the advantage which fore thought and courage possess over proud pomposity and haughty self-conceit are very apparent.

John Bowman, who was charged yesterday before Mr. Alderman Finnis with violently assaulting his wife, was again placed at the bar. The Alderman stated there could be no doubt that the prisoner had been guilty of a violent assault on his wife,!and her irritating conduct towards him was no jus tification of what he had done. They were both drunk, and not considering it, under all the circumstances, an aggravated assault, he sentenced him to 21 days' im• prisonment with hard labour. THAMES. SEAMEN'S WAGBS.—CURIOUS DISPUTE. —This morning Captain Daniel Barton, the master of the ship Vienna, a coasting vessel, came before Mr. Ingrain with two sea men, who had taken out summonses against the captain for their wages, and in favour of whom orders had been made. _ _ Taplin, No. 234 K, an officer of the Court, stated that the seamen came before Mr. Yardley last Tuesday week and stated that they had shipped on board the Vienna at Llanolly for a voyage to London, for which they were to receive 51. each. Mr. Yardley asked them if the cargo was discharged and they said it was not, on which the magistrate direoted them to stay by the ship till the cargo was discharged, and he would then grant sum monses. On Monday the seamen again applied, and said that the cargo was out, and the magistrate granted summonses, which were made returnable yesterday. The captain did not appear, and the cases were heard ex pare. Orders were made for the pay ment of the wages and costs, and be served the minutes of the orders upon Captain Barton last night. Mr. Ingham—What does the captain want me to do ? Captain Barton said be never received the summonses, and was not aware any process was out against him until he received minutes of the orders. Mr. Ingham said the case had been heard and deter mined, and he could not review the decision of his col- league. Captain Barton said the voyage was over, and handed the ship's articles to the magistrate, who read the agree ment, and said that the voyage was to be from Llanelly to London and back to any loading port or ports in the north. The seamen were not entitled to their discharge here. The articles further said, to be discharged in London or not at the option of the captain. The men said the meaning of the articles was this— they were to make one voyage for 51., not a voyage and a half. Mr. Ingham—The voyage terminates in the North, and the captain has a right to your services back to the North under this agreement. The seamen declared they never so understood the agreement, or they would not have signed it. They had been already detained in London a fortnight. Mr. Ingham asked the captain what he was stopping in London for 1 Captain Barton—l am stopping here to get a freight. Mr. Ingham—The articles of agreement are not very clear; but my opinion is the men are bound to proceed to a loading port in the North, but you cannot stop here to take in cargo. If you do you alter the agree ment, and the seamen have a right to say they are dis charged, and to receive 51. each. You must not detain the men while you are looking for a freight. The seamen complained of the hardship of the case. They would never have shipped for a voyage from Llanelly to London and the north for 51. if it had been explained to them. Mr. Ingham—The agreement was read over to you 1 The seamen—Yes, sir, it was. Mr. Ingham—Then you are bound by it. The mean. ing of it is, captain, that you must discharge your cargo here and go away. You cannot keep the seamen here an indefinite time. Captain Barton—l will sail to-morrow. Mr. Ingham—lf you do not they will be off the bar gain, and will have a right to say the contract is termi nated. You must leave this port directly or pay them 51. each. The captain and seamen then retired with the officer. SOUTHWARK. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE C Y A FEMALE IN THE POLICE CELL.—Harriet Dixon, a respectable-looking middle aged female, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with attempting to strangle herself in the police cell. She was also charged with assaulting Mr. Elwes, a cow keeper, in the Southwark-bridge-road. Mr. Elwes said, that on Monday last he met the pri- SO:,'T v, - ;s pas , kg the.
