Naval and Military Intelligence. OPENING OF THE COMMERCIAL TRA VELLERS' SCHOOL, PINNER. On Saturday last the beautiful edifice which the libe rality of the commercial travellers of Great Brtain has erected close to the Pinner station of the North-Western Railway, as at once a home and a school, for the orphan children of the less fortunate members of their body, was publicly opened by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, ;o whom the chairman and committee of the institution had the honour of presenting an appropriate address. The day was beautifully fine, and the consequence was the presence of an unusually large number of 'the friends and supporters of the institution, so that the whole pro ceedings went off with quite an unexpected eclat. The new school house, which has been erected at an expense of several thousand pounds, is a handsome and commo• dious edifice in the Tudor or Elizabethan style, now so fashionable, and is replete with every convenience, and almost luxury, that could be required in a public school. Indeed it is very much to be questioned whether the pupils in the neighbouring and more aristocratic in stitution at Harrow are half so well lodged and cared for as the orphans of the commercial tra vellers. The home is situated in the centre of a piece of park-like ground, nicely clumped with trees, and, as seen from the station, forms a very promi- vent and perfectly harmonious feature in the charac teristic English landscape. On Saturday last the building was decked out in its gayest in honour of the illustrious guest expected. The principal school-room, in which the address was to be presented, was profusely decorated with evergreens, and the girls schoolroom, in which the banquet was laid out, was quite a forest of greenery, interspersed with dahlias and geraniums taste fully arranged, so as to give quite a summer aspect to the entertainment, save when the sharp wind rushing through a suddenly opened door roughly reminded the surer, occupying the next seat to his lordship. Not less than between five and six hundred ladies and gen- tlemen sat down to dinner. After the usual loyal toasts, in proposing which the CHAIRMAN noticed the gratifying fact that Prince Albert had presented the institution with a donation of one hun dred guineas, his lordship proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Commercial Travellers' Schools." His lordship, after some complimentary ob servations on the beautiful buildings in which they were assembled, proceeded to observe that he took a more sanguine view of its probable results than was expressed in the address which they bad all heard read at an earlier hour. That address did' not venture to hope that the pupils of the school would ever be distinguished in the higher branches of education or learning, but he was more sanguine, because he felt proud in believing that England was a country in which the lowliest might by the force of talent and industry arrive at the highest position, and who was to tell what talent, what genius, what industry might be developed in the young people who were the objects of their fostering care 1 (Cheers.) The present was pre-eminently an age of progress, and who was to say that the children who were now their orphan charge might not at some future day stand high in the world of commerce or of letters, and in their turn extend the hand of liberality and protection to fu ture orphans and with similarly beneficial results ? (Loud cheering.) Ile found that in the Commercial Travellers' Schools three hundred children might be boarded, lodged, and educated, and he asked the com pany to consider what might be the consequences to society if that large number of intelligent beings had been left neglected and impoverished to fall into the ever open and easy paths of immorality and vice ? (Hear.) It was then an institution pre-eminently worthy of their support, and he trusted that it would receive, as it well deserved, the munificent aid of the whole commercial body. (Cheers.) The next toast was "The Health of the Lord Mayor," proposed by Dr. Vaughan, who observed that as the great desideratum of the present day was to see the " right man in the right place," the City of London ought to congratulate itself on the presidency of its pre sent chief magistrate. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and proceeded to propose, with a warm eulogium, the health of Mr. Geo. Moore, the treasurer of the institution. (The enthusiasm with which this toast was received must have been ex tremely gratifying to the gentleman in whose honour it of, not a man attempted to interfere with any speaker, nor even with the assembly of pemns, until their ser vices were deemed indispensable, and had they not been near at the time it is impossible to tell what would have been the consegy nee. The number in the park must have been upwards of 20,060, and su threatening did things appear at one time that the gates of the marble arch were obliged to be closed against the populace. There were about 20 mounted police officers in the neighbourhood, under the direction of Captain Labal mondiere, Superintendent Gibbs, and Inspectors Searle, Walsh, Durkin, Banks, and Jackson, and the manner in which they carried out the arrangements were most admirable. From the calculations made by the police s about 500 persons per minute entered the gates of the park during the holding of the meeting, or rather series of meetings. Owing to the yelling and execrations of the crowd, the horses of the mounted police were terribly fright ened, and they kicked and plunged terrifically, but for tunately no one was injured thereby. Another meeting, it was stated, was to be held in the same park on Sunday next, weather permitting. THE TRIAL OP STRAHAIV, PAUL, AND BATES. The following is a more detailed account of the address of Baron Alderson than we were enabled to give in our impression of Saturday Mr. Baron ALDERSON precegded to sum up the evi dence. Ho said that Lefare the conclusion of the pre- ;tent proceedings he should the jury an incidental question, arising out of part of the evidence and argu ment of counsel ; but the question he should leave for them to decide—namely, whether the defendants were . g uilty or not—was of a totally different description. He thought the jury bad better confine their attention to the charges in the first four counts of the indictment, though there were other counts, respecting conspiracy, &c. The first four counts set forth that the defendants were the bankers and agents of Dr. Griffith, by whom they were intrusted with certain valuable securities there in mentioned for safe custody, and that, notwithstanding, they, without any authority, sold and converted the same to their own use, contrary to their duty and trust. Re specting a good deal of that statement there was no doubt ; but the question for the jury to decide was whether the defendants sold those securities contrary to their trust. If they did, they were guilty of the misdemeanour which was charged against them in the indictment, and the punishment for which was provided by the' 7th and Bth George IV., cap. 29. That was the question now to be determined. No doubt, there was a great difference in the cases of the three defendants. Against Sir J. Paul the case pressed more hardly than against the other two, and against Mr. Straban more hardly, perhaps, than against Mr. Bates. Tbat was the order, probably, in which the jury would have to consider their respective guilt or innocence. The learned judge here recaptulated the evidence of Dr. Griffith with reference to the 5,0001. THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY Ewe fe:141.14 at OCTOBER 29 1855 of the charge. The jury would consider, also, the nu merous opportunities which Strahan and his partners had of knowing all these circumstances, and yet that no complaint or outcry had been raised to Dr. Griffith on the subject. With respect to the defendant Bates the case was, in some respects, stronger than that of Strahan, inasmuch as he was the most active partner in connec• tion with the firm, and was the person. who most fre quently held communication with Dr. Griffith. The de fendant Strahan might have thought that the restora tion of the Danish Bonds by others of a similar amount might have satisfied Dr. Griffith ; and so perhaps it would, if the substituted bonds had been forthcoming. That, however, would have been no answer in point of law to the crime of converting them, although it might perhaps have prevented Dr. Griffith from putting the law in force. The last point to which he would refer was one which was rather a question for the Court than for the jury—one with respect to the construction of the act. It was cer tainly a very singularly worded act, and the framers of it probably I. ever dreamt that anything would occur under it like what had arisen in the present case. The words of the section in the act were— The steam-transport Niagara, No. 48, Capt. N.

Total-12 sergeants, 4 core porals, rdrummer, and 125 privates, nearly all of whom were engaged at the assault on the Redan at Sebastopol on the Bth ult. ; 5 of them have lost one leg, 1 has-lost both arms, 4 have lost one arm each, and about 50 others are wounded in various other ways ; the rest of the number are sick with sundry complaints. They all came home in medical charge of Dr. O'Donough, sur geon of the Niagara, by whose unremitting attention, combined with the wholesomeness of the ship, they have improved much in health on the voyage. The Niagara brought naval invalids also from her Majesty's ships Royal Albeit, St. Jean D'Acre, Hannibal, Leander, Terrible, and Stromboli, in number 16, also 12 merchant seamen. She will go into Portsmouth harbour this afternoon to land them. On the 18th inst., about 5 p.m., 80 miles S.W. of Malta, she passed the screw transport Nos 189 steering for Malta ; on the 22d, 15 miles east of Gibraltar signalled her Majesty's ship Hibernia bound east ; also the Ida, of London, and Francis Barclay, of Liverpool, bound west. The Niagara experienced but little of the gale of Thursday last, having reached this side of the Bay of Biscay before she met it. She has during the last 11 months carried 8,500 men, 130 officers, 800 horses, and stowed six ships many hun dreds of miles, and proved herself a first-rate war tran seort. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Ariel, 9, Commander Luce, arrived at Spithead from the Channel and the White Sea on Saturday night, 12 days from the latter cruising ground, and encountered all the force of the late gale in the Channel without bearing up or putting back after she left the Downs the second time, about a week ago. She has but few defects, and left Spithead for Devon port to receive further orders yesterday morning early. Her Majesty's steam troopship Simoom, 18, Captain Ts R. Sulivan, left Portsmouth harbour on Saturday morning with the First Light Infantry Regiment of the British German Legion, and anchored at Spithead, where she remained all night ; she left yesterday morning, about 6 o'clock, for Balaklava, but put back again at 12.30 p.m. to Spithead, owing to some important por tion of her machinery giving way. The defect will soon be rectified. It is not serious, as is proved by the fact that after it showed itself the ship came back against a stiff northerly and easterly breeze at the rate of seven knots. The steam transport Rhadamanthus, Master Com mander Belem, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morn ing from the Mediterranean, with aboat 70 convicts on board, whose terms of penal servitude have expired. The Russell, 60, Captain Francis Scott, was taken out of the steam basin at Portsmouth on Saturday morn mg. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, returned from a week's absence on Saturday, and rehoisted his firg, when Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., struck his commodore's pendant. - The Denmark, American ship, Luther, master, from Shediac for Great Grimsby, laden with deals, with loss of rudder, damage to stern, windlass broken, loss of foretopsail, and both anchors and chain slipped from her in the " Park," off Selsea Bill, where she had been anchored after being got off the " Puller," on which she struck in the gale of Thursday last, the 25th instant, at three p.m. ; weather thick, and blow ing hard from W.S.W., was towed into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday night by the Selsea pilots by the aid of two private steam-tugs. The pilots found her abandoned by her master and crew, and took posses sion of her. It would appear that on the ship striking iii such a dangerous spot, and in such awful weather, no hope was entertained of saving life or ship, and the mas ter and crew accordingly left her to her apparently in evitable fate, but the force of the storm seems to have driven her over the shoal into deep water soon after she was abandoned, and the pilots made a prize of her. The steam transport Perseverance, Nc. 7, Capt. Harris, embarked the baggage of the 4th Middlesex Militia on tturday at Portsmouth Dockyard, and will embark the regiment this morning for Malta. On Friday night the Cuckoo, 3 paddlewheel steam• vessel, Lieutenant-Commander G. E. Murray, during a heavy gale of wind at Sheerness, dragged her moorings and fouled with the Nymph frigate (hulk), by which the Cuckoo carried away her bowsprit, damaged hercutwater, knee of the head, and figurehead. She was taken into No. 5 Dry Dock to make good damage and defects. Mr. William Rowley, Assistant Engineer of the first class (late borne on the books of the Formidable, 84, Captain John Jervis Tucker) has been appointed chief engineer of the Otter. Mr. Rowley joined on Saturday. The Mars, screw steamship, 80 guns, built at Chatham, is shortly expected at Sheerness to receive her boilers and machinery. The boilers of the new screw steam-frigate Chesapeake, of 50 guns, have been lowered into their places, and pre parations are being made to fit her machinery with every despatch possible. The Pigmy, 3, paddlewheel steam-vessel, Second- Master William Johnston in command, late from Ports mouth, dragged her anchor during the gale on Friday night while riding at single anchor in Sheerness harbour, aad hooked the heavy chain moorings. The Pigmy, being under sailing orders for Heligoland, was supplied with aeother anchor and part of a chain cable, and proceeded at 10 a.m. f or H e li go l an d , t h e Elbe, and the Weser. The Pigmy is intended to keep np a communication be tween Heligol an d, th e Elbe, and the Weser as long as the weather will permit.

The most sanguine of the stewards had not expected more than three hundred visitors, but the fineness of the day, the contemplated presence of royalty, and the deep interest taken by the commercial community in the institution, combined to swell the company to nearly double that number ; so that, as the dinner hour approached, something very like short commons was apprehended by the more hungry of the visitors. That calamity was, however, happily avoided, through the elasticity of the commissariat de partment, which was found quite equal to the unexpected inroad, and sent every one back to town perfectly satis fied with the entertainment. His Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived shortly after one o'clock from Windsor, and the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor nearly at the same was proposed.) Mr. G. Moons, having first thanked the company for the very warm manner in which his health had been received, begged leave to offer a few observations upon what was after all the real business of the day. Having glanced at the early history of the institution, he said that the building in which they stood was a great fact, which would last after their children's chil dren, but was, at the same time, one in which the orna mental had been throughout made subordinate to the use ful. He also congratulated the company on the circum stance that the actual expense had not very considerably exceeded the origihal estimate. They had expected the building would have cost 15,0001.—it had cost more than 20,0001. ; but then their contracts had to be made at a time when there was a great and sudden rise in the price of labour and materials. (Hear.) Any excess, however, in the cost of the building was fully compensated for by the advantageous terms on which they had acquired their land, having obtained 25. acres for 2,0001., a capital in vestment, for which the society was mainly indebted to Captain Huish, who sat near him. (Cheers.) The diffi culty under which they now, laboured was the finding of the last 5,0001., and he trusted that the liberality of that evening would very much diminish the difficulty. (Hear.) Let the building be once paid for, and every gentleman and lady present might rest assured that the institution would go on prosperously from that day forward. They had 15,3381. invested, from which they derived an income of 6001. a year, and this, with the Annual subscription, would be amply sufficient, for be it remem bered that the commercial body formed no mean ele ment in the wealth and resources of this country. hear.) They bad at present 142 children in the school, and in December would elect in as many as the funds would admit of, for now there was happily no excuse on the score of room. As the institution took care of the children from the age of seven to fifteen years, very few, of course, had left during the first seven years, but now the admissions and discharges would go on more regu larly, and there was this peculiar advantage in their schools, that after the pupils were discharged they had an almost certainty of future employment amongst the commercial body, as who would not exert himself to promote the welfare of a deceased colleague's orphan ? It had ofte❑ been said, and he confessed he had sometimes said it himself, that it was impossible to get the com mercial body to combine for any useful purpose, but be was happy to say that their schools formed an exception to that rule ; for although the employers had certainly done something, it was mainly to the commercial travel lers themselves they were indebted for support. (Hear, hear.) Having again urged the company to promote the building fund, and warned commercial travellers that they would be looked upon as the black sheep of "the road " if they neglected the orphans of their deceased brethren, Mr. Moore made a special appeal to the ladies, who, he said, might become life governors at half the sum fixed for gentlemen, and proceeded gratefully to acknowledge the support the institution had received in Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol. In conclusion, he congratulated the company on the fact that the whole of the arrangements of the building had been approved of by Prince Albert, who had been good ' enough to say that he had obtained a great many vain ' able hints for the Wellington College of which his Royal Highness was governor. His Royal Highness had also given the munificent donation of 100 guineas, and had consented to become the patron of the institution. ' A list of subscriptions was then read, and the contents of the purses announced, the whole amounting to nearly 2,0001. One of the largest donations was from Mrs. Cuffiey, of Birmingham, whose purses exceeded 2001. The remaining toasts on the chairman's list were then disposed of, and the company separated. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. F. Mori, and Mr. Harker was the toast-master, THE HIGH PRICE OP BREAD. TUMULTUOUS MEETING IN HYDE-PARK. Some time since Sir Richard Mayne, the chief com missioner of the metropolitan police, as well as the Se cretary of State for the Home Department, were found fault with for interfering with what was termed the liberty of her Majesty's subjects, and a grave question, it will be remembered, arose, not only out of doors, but also at the special committee appointed by the House of Commons, as to whether the Govern ment ought or even had the power of preventing large assemblages of persons from meeting in what is termed the people's park. The result of the special commission is not at present known, but whatever it may be quite sufficient trans pired yesterday to show that unle,,s the police are em powered to nip these gatherings in what is teohnica.lly termed the " bud," it is impossible to tell to what extent mischief may be carried out. As was generally understood, the meeting took place at three o'clock yesterday afternoon in Hyde-park, on the green sward between Kensington -gardens acd the Royal Humane Society's receiving -house. The various delegates appointed at the previous meet ing on Sunday last were in attendance to give their re ports, and to state what the millers said should be the market price of flour during the ensuing winter ; but upon the chairman commencing to explain what would in all probability be the price of the flour, and conse quently the charge of the 41b. loaf, a scene of indescrib able confusion took place, and loud cries of "No mono poly" ensued. Order, however, was soon restored, when a man standing at the rear of the chairman moved that those who could not hear should be allowed to hold two, three, or four separate meetings in different parts of the park. Without putting the resolution to a show of hands four meetings were formed. One of the speakers began by stating that Sir Benja min Hall was no doubt a good man, and much respected up to the time he brought into Parliament his new bill, which, having now passed the Legislature, every one was enabled to see was calculated to carry out nothing more nor less than class legislation. (Rear.) Would it be believed by that meeting that in order to be qualified to become a vestryman under Sir Benjamin's bill he must be rated at—he could not say whether it was 301. or 401. per year. (Cries of " Shame," and " Let us go and see him," and " We will make him alter his bill, if not we will serve his house as we did Bobby Grosvenor's.") Another fellow (for no other appellation can be ap plied to him) cried out, "I know where Sir Benjamin Hall lives ; come with me and I'll show you what to do." In a moment a tremendous mob, probably 800 persons, followed this misguided man towards South-street-gate, leading across Park-lane, when, to their astonishment, they espied two police constables on horseback, with cutlasses at their sides. This at once struck terror into their minds, but the officers passing along quickly the mob made for the mansion at the corner of the street, and would no doubt have riddled the place had the same officers not returned at a sharp trot. It should, however, be stated that Sir Benjamin did not reside in the house, and the majority of the police, although kept out of sight, bat located in the neighbour. hood, would have been quite sufficient to quell auy dis turbance of such magnitude. The officers on horseback rode backward and forward, and eventually succeeded in clearing Park-lane and South-street of the populace, when two respectably•dressed men were seen near the Victoria-gat e' and the snob at once made an onslaught upon them, for what cause could not be learned ; hut one thing is quite certain, that the parties commenced pelting the gentlemen and they shouted "Down with the spies !" and had it not been for Police Sergeant N 5 of the division, who protected the two at the moment stones and clods were g beir plentifully thrown about, they mi g ht h ave been killed.i The mob then started eff in the direction of Mayfair, and having reached Curzon-street commenced smashing the windows. Another Part of the crowd took South street, and pelted a public-house, breaking one or two of the windows, and nearly killing a gentleman who was writing in the parlour. The destruction of property, however, was far more serious in the neighbourhood of May-fair, and would h ave b een still greater had it not been for the timely arrival of the police. Several persons were taken into custody, two by Mr. Inspector Jackson of the D division ; but there is too much reason to believe that the principal ringleaders have escaped, and there is no doubt but their object was s i m ply to get up disturbances to perpetrate robberies, as several persons bad their pockets picked, and it was stated that an inspector of police, in plain clothes, well known for his discrimination in detesting offenders, had been robbed of some amount of money whilst ! listening to the speakers in the crowd. By eight o'clock last night the parks and the st ree t s adjacent began to assume their usual state of quietude, but the police were wisely kept in reserve in case of a fresh outoreak. The conduct of the police cannot be spoken too highly time from town, his lordship having determined upon giving this eminently commercial institution all the sanc tion to be derived from the presence of the chief magis trate of the first commercial city in the world. The Prince, who was accompanied by General Grey and Col. Seymour, was, on his arrival, received at the principal entrance by the board, the treasurer, Geo. Moore, Esq., the various officers of the institution, and lastly the Lord Mayor, who was accompanied by Mr.f Philipps, his lord ship's secretary. A procession was then formed to the large school-room, at the upper end of which a raised dais had been erected, covered with crimson carpeting, and on which was placed a handsome chair of state for the accommodation of his Royal Highness. At this time the room was densely thronged with company, the whole of the front seats being filled with young ladies and gen tlemen, each provided wither, purse variously filled, but in no case with less than five guineas, as his or her con tribution to the building fund. The children of the school filled the gallery, in the front of which was sta tioned a military band, and the two in combination gave a very creditable delivery of the National Anthem and the Old Hundredth Psalm, the moment hie Royal High ness appeared on the dais. The members of the board and the stewards then formed the semicircle, from which Mr. Roberts (of the firm of Longman and Co., the emi nent publishers) came forward and read the following address, embodying a succinct outline of the origin and progress of the institution " We, the president, treasurer, and other officers of the Commercial Travellers' Schools for Orphan and Necessitous Children, desire to approach your Royal Highness with feelings of unfeigned respect. As the consort of our beloved Sovereign, we tender you the homage of our sincere affection and esteem ; and as the patron of all that is philamthropic, 'pure, and of good report,' we hail your presence amongst us with sincere joy, and would express our heartfelt gratitude that your Royal Highness has been pleased to confer the honour and advantage of your countenance on this interesting occasion. It may not be displeasing to your Royal Highness to hear a few brief particulars respecting the institution with which, by your gracious act of this day, your Royal Highness is so kindly identified. Under the ap pellation of CommercialTravellers, there is in this country a large and important class of persons, whose business it is constantly to travel for commercial purposes, and by whose exertions the internal commerce of the country is principally sustained. It was deemed fitting that an asylum should be established for the distressed orphan children of this large body of individuals, so peculiarly exposed, by the nature of their calling, to accident and danger. Deeply impressed with this feeling, a few ener getic commercial men commenced this society, in 1845. Before they appealed for assistance, either to principals or to the public, they manifested the earnestness and sincerity of their convictions by raising amongst them selves, and in their own body, 2,0001. towards the pro secution of the object they bad in view, and the work thus commenced has, with the Divine blessing, steadily progressed and prospered. In 1847, a large mansion was rented at Wanstead, into which 20 children were at first received. This number was gradually augmented, until at last it was found that the charity was fast outgrowing the dimensions of the premises in which it was located. And after many expedients and much deliberation it was resolved that the site on which this building now stands should be purchased, and an edifice expressly de signed for the charity erected thereon. With great la bour and anxiety, involving an outlay of upwards of `‘'.o,ooo/., towards which between 5,0001. and 6,000/. have yet to be raised, this substantial building has been completed. To the cultivated taste of your Royal High ness the edifice may present many architectural imper fections and defects, but the consideration that it has been erected to succour and educate the helpless will doubtless give it a charm in the estimation of your Royal Highness which a greater architectural display might fail to excite. Between two and three hundred rung persons, from seven to fifteen years of age, have been or are now being carefully trained by this charity for a useful and honourable career in after-life, who, but for this institution, might have been growing up in neglect and indolence, contracting vicious habits and maturing in immorality. The board of rop e nagement refer with much gratification to the fact ',;hat so exemplary has been the c on d uc t o f the pupil a o f t hi s institution during the location of the estr: o li s h ment at Wanstead, that the clergy and gentry ~.,i the neighbour hood have expressed in the stronger s terms their regret at the removal of the institution; It is true that this establishment, from its very nature, can never b e distin guished in the higher brlnches of edu ca ti on an d learn ing, still it is hoped that, in all those qualities which constitute moral . eYcellence, the sch o l ars o f t hi s institu tions may vie in nonourable rivalry with th e no bl es t i n the land ; an e t although this school may never, ,like a neighbour'Ang seat of learning, send forth poets, philoso phers, stud statesmen, to give lustre to their age and country, and to aid iu the councils of their Sovereign, it will 'produce, it is hoped, a succession of those hardy sons al commerce, equally essential to the existence of a com mercial nation, an d w h o , b y their loyalty to their mo -1 narch, their reverence for the laws, and their industry and integrity, shall contribute to the stability of the throne and the material welfare of the empire. May your Royal Highness ever have occasion to look back with satisfaction on the part you have condescended to take in the proceedings of this day. May you live long to exer cise your beneficent influence as the patron of every insti tution which has for its object the mitigation of human woe, and as the promoter of every work calculated to ad a the welfare of the people. May your august con sort,teliveenptrsesor htecrirrceuimg t oar beloved Queen, long be spared to hold her vit.• uous and benign sway over this mighty empire, and may merciful Providence, to her M • and to the permanent • dominions."

At the conclusion of this reply, which was loudly cheered, Dr. V aug h an , Head Master at Harrow, offered the building a prayer, and hi s R o y a l Highness declared to be opened. The young ladies and children then deposited their purses, " God save th e Q ueen ," an d " Partant pour la ', Syria," w ere sung by the children, accompanied by the I band, after which his Royal Highness retired to the board-roorn, where a refreshment table, elegantly deco rated, and provided with the most costly delicacies, had been prepared for his Royal Highness's entertainment. satisfaction tvoifththteheenartirraenbgueraildeinntgs: immediatelyexpressing After luncheon his Royal Highness made a most minute parted for Windier. The Prince was loudly cheered on his arrival and departure, both by his entire the building, and l ' d e . a arge crowd, which the fineness of the day had allowed to assemble outside. .. THE BANIIIZT. Shortly after three o'clock -the general sembled in the girls' school room, to the decorations as. - which we have before alluded, and after a little confu sion caused by-the unexpected influx of visitors, all sat down comfortably to an elegant and substantial enter tainment, over which. tbe „Right Honethe Lord Mayor presided, supported right and left by the members of the board and tiu:it friends, Mr. George Moore, the treat " And no banker, merchant, broker, factor, attorney, or other agent, as aforesaid, will be liable to be convicted by any evidence whatever as an offender against this act in respect of any act done by him, if he shall, at any time previous to his being indicted for such offence, have dis closed such act on oath, in consequence of any compulsory process of any court of law or equity, in any action, suit, or proceeding which shall have been bona fide instituted by any party aggrieved, or if he shall have disclosed the same in any examination or deposition before any Corn missioners of Bankruptcy." Under the Bankrupty Act the Commissioners had authority to examine bankrupts after they had made and signed a declaration ; or there might be a deposition in order to establish some matter in dispute which the court wished to have cleared up. But was the "disclo sure" made by the defendants in the Court of Bankruptcy made under circumstances of that kind ! In the first place the "disclosure" was not a disclosure at all of the particular act charged against them. There was no dis closure in any one of the documents put in that the par ties bad in 1854 appropriated to their own use and transferred to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite the 5,0001. Danish Bonds which Dr. Griffith now complained of being deprived of. The Danish Bonds assigned to Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Ca., and mentioned in the " disclosure," were different from those mentioned in the indictment, and agreed only with them in the amount of value. But, could any one suppose that a person, by voluntarily disclosing, of his own accord, a misdemeanour committed by him, could escape the penalty attached to that misdemeanour ? Was it to be imagined that the Parliament would play fast and loose with the criminal law in such a way, first inflicting the penalty of 14 years' transportation on certain offenders, and then allowing these offenders to acquit themselves from all punishment ? Was that proceeding of the de fendants before the Court of Bankruptcy a bona fide exa mination, or any disposition to settle some disputed point which the Court required to be satisfied on ? There was a rule of law well known in reference to transactions of this description ; and he would ask the jury whether it was their opinion that this was a real and bona fide pro ceeding in bankruptcy, or whether it was not a got-up proceeding and sham—a farce prepared to be played in open court ? He should ask them that question, not that their opinion would ultimately determine the point, but lest, in the event of its being hereafter discussed, some one should say that he ought to have left it to the jury. It was on that account he wished for their opinion on the point, though he and his learned brothers near him en tirely agreed in not entertaining any serious doubt at all on the question. It was now for the jury to take the case into their consideration, and if they believed that the defendants Mr. Strahan and Mr. Bates were in compli city with Sir J. Paul in doing the act charged, and that it could not have been done without their knowledge and concurrence, they must find all the accused guilty ; but, if they deemed the evidence too doubtful to enable them to draw that conclusion, they would, of course, give the accused the benefit of the doubt. If they thought that there was any difference in the cases of the defendants they would, of course, mark by their ♦erdict the distinction. He desired nothing more than that they should come to a just, sound, and candid conclu sion. The jury deliberated together for a few minutes in their box, and then retired to consider their verdict. After an absence of about 20 minutes they returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty against all the de fendants. Mr. Baron Alderson inquired their opinion of the " disclosure " before the Court of Bankruptcy ! The Foreman replied that the opinion of the jury was that it was no disclosure within the meaning of the act. Mr. Baron Alderson—You look on it, then, as a sham affair Tho Foreman stated that the jury did not consider it a bona fide disclosure. Mr. Baron Alderson intimated his entire concurrence with the jury in this opinion. A verdict of guilty was then taken on the first and third counts, and of not guilty on the others. Mr. Baron Alderson, after a short pause, proceeded to pronounce the judgment of the Court upon the pri soners in the following terms :—William Strahan, Sir John Dean Paul, and Robert Makin Bates, the jury have now found you guilty of the offence charged upon you in this indictment -- the offence of disposing of securities which were intrusted by your customers to you as bankers, for the purpose of being kept safe for their use, and which you appropriated, under circumstances of temptation, to your own. A greater and more serious offence can hardly be imagined in a great commercial city like this. It tends to shake con fidence in all persons in the position you occupied, and it has shaken the public confidence in establishments like that you for a long period honourably conducted. I do very, very much regret that it falls to my lot to pass any sentence on persons in your situation ; but yet the public interests and public justice require it ; and it is not for me to shrink frost the discharge of any duty, however painful, which properly belongs to my office. I should have been very glad if it had pleased God that some one else now had to discharge that duty. I have seen (continued the learned judge, with deep emotion) at least one of you under very different circumstances, sitting at my side in , high office, instead of being where you now are, and I could scarcely then have fancied to myself that it would ever come to me to pass sentence on you. But so it is, and this is a proof, therefore, that we all ought to pray not to be led into temptation. You have been well educated, and held a high position in life, and she punishment which must fall on you will consequently be the more seriously and severely felt by you, and will also greatly affect those connected with you, who will most sensitively feel the disgrace of your position. All that I have to say is that I cannot conceive any worse Case of the sort arising under the Act of Parliament ap plicable to your offence. Therefore, as I cannot con ceive any worse case under the act, I can do nothing else but impose the sentence therein provided for the worst case —namely, the most severe punishment, which is, that you be severally transported for 14i years. The prisoners, who seemed astounded by their sen tence, leans against the dock as if they expected their counsel to make some observations to the Court, but, after a short interval, they slowly retired in custody. The rev. prosecutor, Dr. Griffiths, was observed to shed tears when the sentence was pronounced, but the judg ment appeared to give satisfaction to a crowded court. THE BISHOP Or EXETER AND THE BAPTISMAL En- ELENERATION VETO.—The Bishop of Exeter has again refused co recognise the rights established by the judg ment of the Privy Council. The Rev. Cox was lately presented to the perpetual curacy of Escot, Devon. But he could not accede to the bishop's views of baptismal regeneration. The bishop, therefore, refused him insti tution. Escot is the benefice to which the Rev. C. C. Layard was presented a few months ago, and is thus a second time within the year deprived of its legally pre sented pastor. A Dice.Eram—The Cobb Repvtir has the following : —"About 4 o'clock on Sunday evening, as the Sabrina steam-ship, Captain Parker, had reached the harbour's mouth on her way from Bristol, the captain was informed that a vessel was lying deserted about 20 miles south of th'e harbour. He immediately directed his course to the place indicated, and found a very fine clipper-ship, the Carrier Pigeon, of New York, completely deserted by her captain and crew. The Sabrina, having taken her in tow, brought her safely into Passage, where she now lies. We understand that the captain and crew subsequently arrived in an open boat, and were not a little astonished at finding that the vessel which they had deserted at sea had arrived before them. The cargo on board is said to be worth about 15,0001." _ _ [ADVERTISEMENT.) —Holloway's Pills a Certain Cure for Liver and Stomach Complaints.—The daughter of Mr. Thomas Todd, of HouLhton-le-Spring, was for a long time afflicted with a disordered state of the liver, bowel complaint, indigestion, and sickness after partak ing of any food, however simple.

It had been proved that those bonds had been purchased for Dr. Griffith and left with the defendants for safe custody, and they were particularly marked by their amounts, dates, and numbers. It did not appear whether Dr. Griffith had ever seen them, but that was not mate rial, for it was not necessary that lie should see them in order to be their owner in point of law. Dr. Griffith stated that he had transacted his business almost solely with Mr. Bates, and that he had never received the slightest intimation of any change having taken place in the custody of these bonds, the interest for which he had carried to his account every half-year, and that he never gave the defendants any authority to sell or convert them to their own use. After the application at Boer-street Mr. Strahan called on Dr. Griffith, and, admitting that some securities had been disposed of, added that it was the first dishonest act of his life. That observation, how ever, referred to the 5,000/. Danish Bonds subsequently purchased and substituted for the original bonds, and not to the bonds mentioned in the present indictment. Mr. Strahan's counsel had told the jury that they must take this statement into consideration, and conclude from it that Mr. Strahan was not cognisant of any previous im proper proceeding done by another in reference to tbo securities. However, ho ~Mr. Baron Alderson) must tell the jury that they were not bound to be'iere either the whole or any part cf the statement made by Mr. Strahan on that occasion. They must take it into their fair consideration es one of the circumstances in the case, and no more. Mr. Strahan was certainly in correct in saying that ti-at was the first fraudulent trans action on his part, if he were a party to the transaction of 1854, unless he salved his conscience over by the no tion that reparation was made for that which before was , a wrong act, and that the wrong had been removed by the *subsequent substitution of fresh bonds. It was just pos sible for persons totako that view of their conduct, but the law did Lot. The jury were entirely to judge on that mat ter; and here he would observe that the statements put in for the purpose of ma,kieg a "disclosure" showed that Dr. Griffith had been a loser to a considerably larger amount than the 5,0001. Danish Bonds in question. The checkfor 12,228/., which was paid in bank-notes, was dated March 18, 1854, which agreed with the items in Sir J. D. Paul's private account. A clerk of Foster and Braithwaite re ceived the bonds from Mr. Beattie, and there could be no doubt, from the numbers and amounts of the bonds sold, that among them were those bought by the firm in 1851 for Dr. Griffiths, deposited by him in their hands for safe custody, and safely kept by them up to that time. These bonds wore thus sold by Sir J. D. Paul, and this transaction was the subject of the present charge. Thera could be no doubt as against Sir J. D. Paul—waiving for a moment the question whether the disclossre before the Court of Bankruptcy were an answer to the present charge—that a clear offence against the statute had been committed in disposing of these Danish Bonds intrusted to him for safe custody. This was a clear breach of trust on his part, which breach of trust in a banker was punishable as a reisderneanour by the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., chap. 29. He should not have considered it necessary to carry the case any further, but evidence had been called to show that the bonds were sold to Messrs. Rothschild, Cohen, end other parties, that these parties received the dividends upon them, and that the defendants had ceased to have any property whatever in the bonds thus sold by Foster and Braithwaite, although the dividends were regularly carried to Dr. Grif fith's credit. Then the gentlemen bad been called who negotiated this loan, and who proved that every bond had a distinct number, the conclusion being that these Danish Bonds were individual things, which were not to be replaced by other bonds of equal value. There be ing, then, a clear case against Sir J. D. Paul, unless he had absolved himself by the disclosure, the next ques tion was whether the other two partners were parties to the transaction. A partner was civilly responsible for the acts of his copartners. And why ? Because by an agreement between him and his copartner ho was con stituted an agent for all acts done in pursuance of the partnership for his copartner. He was therefore civilly responsible for all acts done, either in the presence or absence of his copartner ; but he was not responsible, and could not be held responsible for any act done by his copartner criminally ; because no man could consti tute another his agent to do a criminal act without his personally desiring him to do it, or acting with him in car rying it into effect. Ile was only criminally responsible for the acts of his partner if he personally took part in the transactions, and therefore the jury would haveto look, not merely to the question of whether Strahan and Bates were partners in the cencern, but also to whether they could be considered as being parties to the criminal act of Sir John Dean Paul in selling the bonds in question. If they were not proved to their satisfaction to have been in a state of what was celled " complicity" with Sir John Dean Paul in the act with which he was charged, God forbid that they should be held responsible for his crimi nal con d u ct. When the jury came to take the case into consideration they w ould nue, however, together leave out the circumstance of their being partners, because, as partners, they might have a knowlege of the nature of the business which was going on, and it was for the jury to say whether, being partners, arid having the means of knowing, the circumstances were such es induced them to believe that the defendants did know and were privy to the fraudulent transactions which farmed the subject of the present charge, What were the ciscumstances which were calculated to lead to the inference of the guilty complicity of all the partners! In the first place there was the money which was brought to the bank from the sale of the bonds by Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, and the aggregate amount of which was placed to the credit of the private 'account of Sir John Dean Paul. He would not contend that it would neces sarily follow, but, generally speaking, he thought a partner would inquire how, and under what circum stances a sum of 12,0001. or more came to be 'placed to the private account of one of his copartners. Then, again, they were told that the securities of Dr. Griffith were kept in the strong room, and there appeared no reason to doubt that they were there up to a certain period, after which they could not have been found, nor were any others substituted for them until the month of June. Did people never walk into their strong rooms, or !mow what was in them, or did they not look after the securities deposited with them, or were they not pre sumed to look after the removal of any portion of these securities ? The defendants had the means of knowing ; the question was, did they make use of those means, and did they know the circumstances 1 Then there was the circumstance that afterwards the whole of the de fendants made a statement, or " disclosure," as it was called, in which they spoke of the 5,000/. Danish Five per Cents. deposited with Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and . Co., on the 30th of April, 1855, and followed by 10,0001. Three per Cent. belonging to Dr. Griffith, sold by Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite on the 14th of March, 1854. But nothing was said of the 5 . ,000T. being sold in the first instance. They stated the feet of a partial sale, but they did not state the whole of it. Did they know the whole transaction, or part only If they knew th e whole, why was ;t that nothing was said about the first sale 3 Or did they think that the substitution of one set of bonds for the other took away rt the fraudulent case charac ter of the first transaction ? One pa o the wag perhaps not so strong against the defendant Bates. He did not state in his examiaetion that he knew of hie, own knowledge of the males or deposit of securities, or had anything to do with them. While the other defendants in their separate examinations spoke of securities "pledged or converted by me," Bates only spoke of securities "pledged or converted by any or either of my partners." With regard to Strahan there was the cir cumstance to be taken into consideration of his state ment to Dr. Griffith, which had been ur g ed as negativing to some extent the fact of his knowledge of the first transaction. This was a circumstance in the case proper for the consideration of the jury. the evidence showed that the act of selling the securities was the act of Sir J. D. Paul,' but if the jury,were satisfied the act was done with the knowledge and consent orthe other defendants, and for the purposes of the Ugh they were equally guilty Sporting Intelligence.

Although the Autumnal Meetings at Worcester, Liver pool, Shrewsbury, and one or two other p la c es, have yet to be celebrated, the legitimate racing season was, to all intents and purposee, closed this day at Newmarket. Never perhaps, even in the high and palmy days of the Tiler, were more events decided in one week, and seldom, if ever, were the encounters marked by such stirring and genuine interest. The details which were daily published have made our sporting readers familiar with the most prominent tea time of the proceedings, and the influence which the re sult of certain races is calculated to exercise on future speculation is already perceptible. During the six days 53 races (including deciding heats), were run, and the aggregate number of horses that went to the post was 367. Among the competitors were Yellow Jack, one of the leading favourites for next year's Derby, and Peter Wil kins, who has also been supported to a considerable ex tent for that event. The debut of both excited much curiosity, but their first public performance slightly dis appointed expectation. Yellow Jack's running, in par ticular, created a prejudice against him, which was, how ever, somewhat removed by Secret's easy victory on Friday. The cause of Peter Wilkins's defeat was attri buted to his being a little backward in preparation. Artillery won the Criterion Stakes on Monday, and redeemed the reputation which he held prior to his race for his Champagne Stakes at Doncaster. The railway arrangements were particularly worthy of commendation. Special trains were "put on," and no detail of management that could promo' e the convenience and comfirt 'of the visitors was neglected. The race officials scarcely require a word of testimony as to the able manner in which they discharged their respective duties. Mr, Manning conducted the business of the weighing department with his customary care and punctuality, and Mr. Hibbord, the starter, accomplished the difficult task of getting large fields from the post in fair and compact order. The closeness of certain contests rendered the judge's office most responsible and arduous, but in no instance was the correctness of Mr. Clark's award disputed.

LEEDS, Oct. 26.—There has seldom been a larger at tendance of buyers in the town (representing most of the principal London wholesale houses) than during the current week, and a little more activity has conse quently'been given to the woollen trade. Buyers have been purchasing winter goods chiefly, but have operated very cautiously, limiting their purchases to immediate wants. Cotton warps, which have for some time past been a drug in the market, have been well sought up. There is also a lair steady business doing in the country trade, and, considering the very unsettled state of money matters and the high price of corn, there is quite as much doing in the woollen trade as the most sanguine could expect. BRADFORD, Oct. 25.—W00l continued in very fair supply, and the staplers evinced an increased desire to move off combing qualities ; this could not be done to any extent, the prices restricting business to quantities. required for immediate use, and, to effect sales lower figures had to be submitted to—in fact, the general tone of business was very quiet, with a slight downward tendency. Short descriptions of wool did not meet with so steady a sale as that LA' some time past experienced, and in consequence lower prices were accepted. In the home piece trade the general business was rather in active. Yarn continued dull and unsatisfactory, with a reduction in price in the transactions which took place ; these were very limited, spinners declining to enter into new contracts at similar rates to those at which the con tracts now terminating were effected. LEICESTER, Oct. 25.—There is a general dullness pre valent through every branch of our manufacture, and goods are only produced for immediate order. There are many operatives out of employment, and more machi nery has been suspended. We fear this is only a precur sor to a worse state of business. The high price of pro visions always operates against our demand, and this, added to the state of the money market and the increased rate of discount and interest, causes the utmost caution amongst all. Still stocks on hand are light, and some Government orders would relieve several departments. Worsted spinners are not so busy, and produce with cau tion. At the colonial wool sales some of the inferior sorts were sold at id. per lb. less than the former, but the better kinds went off at but a trifling reduction; indeed it was matter of surprise they sold so well, con sidering that the Bank of England on that day had an nounced their advance in the rate of discount. English wools are flatter, and but little doing in them ; the growers are quite careless about selling, as all their pro., duce is in demand.—Leicester• Journal SISABObNP LAS. .4igntnes that the mall trom the Generat the night—and M by the morning---flespateh.)
