Total-12 sergeants, 4 cor porals, 1 drummer, and 125 privates, nearly all of whom were engaged at the a-sault 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 aro 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 whole someness of the ship, they have improved much in health on the voyage. Toe Niagara brought naval invalids also from her Majesty's ships 'Royal Albert, 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 No. 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 B.srelay, 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 towed six ships many hun dreds of miles, and proved herself a first-rate war tran• 13,iort. 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 Shnoom, 18, Captain T. 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, fur 13alaklava, but put back again at 12.3 G 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 soveu knetA. The steam transport Rhadamanthus, Master Com mander Belam, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morn ing from the Mediterranean, with about 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• Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, returned from a week's ab-ence on Saturday, and rehoisted his b 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 bad been anchored after being got off the " Puller," on which she struck in the gale of Tnurs(l..y 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- F -ion of her. It would appear that on the ship striking in such a dangerous spot, and iu such awful weather, nu hope was entat tamed sf 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.ffarris, embarked the baggage of the 4th Middlesex Militia on Saturday 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 male 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 anch r in Sheerness harbour, and hooked the heavy chain moorings. The Pigmy, being under sailing orders for Heligoland, was sepplied with another anchor and part of a chain cable, and proceeded at 10 a.m. ter Heligoland, the Elbe, and the Weser. The Pigmy is intended to keep up a communication be tween Heligoland, the Elbe, and the Weser as long as the weather permit. The brig Britomart, 8, Commander Heseltine, was t ?wed on Friday from Plymouth Sound into Han:maze where her crew will he paid off on W e d nesday.

The Bremen bark Meteor, Captain Wm, Nolan+, from Quebec, laden with red pine timber, American elm tim ber, headmasts, spars, and deals, for the use of Sheerness Dockyard, was taken into the fitting basin on Saturday. The Meteor is a new clipper-built bark, with seven year; classification at Lloyd's. Capt. Robin states that the greatest difficulty prevailed ar Quebec (which was gene ral at all the other ports) to procure seamen. The Sardinia screw transport, No. 244, has arrived at Woolwi c h, an d i s rece i v i ng a cargo o f ammunition and live shell fur the Crimea. The Euphrates freight-ship is ready for sea, the tug boat being moored alongside, but in consequence of a strike among the crew her departure has been delayed. Five of the men are in charge of the police, awaiting their examination by one of. the local magistrates for re fusing to work according to the stipulated regulations. The Admiralty authorities have ordered several large mortar vessels to b e b u il t at Rye on the same plan as tho se constructed th ere l ast spring They are all to be c ompleted by February next.

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, to 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 I 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 p'omi cent and perfectly harmonious feature in the charac teristic Englislee 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 guest that he was on the threshold of bleak Novem ber. The most sanguine of the stewards bad 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• fled 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 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. 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 with a 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 his Royal High [Jess 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 6 addrese, 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 philanthropic, '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 tb your Royal Highness to hear a few brief particulars respecting the institution wile which, by y o u r grac i ous act o f this day, your Royal Highness is so kindly identified. Under the ap pellation of CommercialTraveller-i, there is in this country a large and important class of persons, whose business it is constantly to travel for commercial purpo.es, and by whose exertions the internal commerce of the country is principally sustained. It v'as 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 1345. Before they appealed for assistance, either t,) 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 had 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 up wards of f. 0,000/., 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 di-play might fail to excite. Between two and three hundred young 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 afterdife, who, but for this institution, might have been growing up in neglect and indolence, contracting vicious habits and maturing in immorality. The board of ma nagement refer with much gratification to the fact that so exemplary has been the conduct of the pupils of this institution during the location of the establishment at Wanstead, that the clergy and gentry of the neighbour hood have expressed in the strongest terms their regret at the removal of the institution. It is true that this establishment, from its very nature, can never be distin guished in the higher branches of education and learn ing, still it is hoped that, in all those qualities which constitute moral excellence, the scholars of this institu tions may vie in honourable rivalry with the noblest in the land ; and although this school may never, like a neighbouring seat of learning, send forth poets, philoso phers, and statesmen, to give lustre to their age and country, and to aid in the councils of their Sovereign, it will produce, it is hoped, a succession of those hardy sons of commerce, equally essential to the existence of a com mercial nation, and who, by their loyalty to their mo narch, their reverence fur 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 vance the welfare of the people. May your august con sort, ou r b e l ove d Queen, long be spared to hold her vir• t t u be ou p s re e s n e d ut be e n ir i e g u n l w t a a y ee oz o r f t t h h i e s tromiigehstyasernalpsioreihae futurendmay events of h er reign, be ove e i r su \l led by a ' n all-wise and all- ' merciful-Pr ov id ence, to h and to the , permanent security je a st n y d 's p p r e o r s s p o e n r a it l y w o e f lfa h r e e ; dominions." thisinio ns. z : ddress, which was read with a most judicious land impressive elocution by Mr. Roberts, hie Royal ' Highness listened with marked attention mrhli and was pleased to deliver the following reply : tlernen, accept my best thanks for your address, the very gratifying expression of your loyalty and n and d G f e n • a d n or affec tionate attachment to the Queen anbcl3,heraryf a p m r y i e l! a e . n a e l e h h a e v r affecting ing the Welfare and most had much satis i f n act e io v n ery in th m in ar g k on this occasion, the interest felt b the Que en as wel l h as ap b p y i n m es y s se e l e f; any class of her subjects ; ar i d sin cerely do I congratulate you on the success which has so far rewarded your spirited and praiseworthy exertions to secure an asylum for the orphan children of members of your body.

THE SUN. LONDON, MONDAY EVITNIN("4„ OCTOBER 29 1855 surer, occupying the next seat to his lordship. Not less than between five and six hundred ladies and geu tlemeu sat down to dinner. of, not a man attempted to interfere with any speaker, nor even with the assembly of persons, until their ser vices were deemed indiffpensable, and had they 'Hot been near at the time it is iiiipos,,ibN to till what would have been the conseqn , nco. The number in the park must have been upwards of 20,000, and sq threat-,cin4 did things appear at one time t hat the gates of the marble arch were obliged to be closed against the populace, There were about 20 mounted police officers i❑ the neighbourhood, under the directiwi of Captain Labal mondiere, Superintendent Gibbs, and Inspec.ors Searle, Walsh, Durkin, Banks, and Jackson, and the manner in which they carried out the arrangements were most admirable. of the charge. The jury would consider, the nu inercus opportunities which Strahan and his partners hal of kno.ing, all these oircuaista,ces, and yet ttat r,o et.rxiplaint or outcry had been r,,n-ed to Dr. Griffith on the sultject. h respect to tilt , defendant Bates the case was, in some respect-, , tronger i.han that f Sti inasmuch 3.4 he was the most active partner in c , miec tion with the firm, and was the pi-rs to win in "t e qu,,ntly bald communication with Dr. Griffish. The de fe,idant Stalian ,iii-ht have thou , ht 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 c 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— After the usual loyal toasts, in proposing which the CHAIRMAN noticed the gratifying fact that Prince Albert bad 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 hey were assembled, proceeded to observe that he took a more sanguine view of its probable results than was expressed in the address which they had all heard real 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 ! (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.) He 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 enthusiaiia with which this toast was received must have been ex tremely gratifying to the gentleman in whose honour it was proposed.) From the calculations made by the police, about 500 perrons 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. " 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 shad, at any time previous to his being indicted for such offence, hare dis closed such act on oath, in consequence of any corn pulsory 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 Com missioners of Bankruptcy." Under the Baekrupty 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 circum-tances 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 had in 1854 appropriated to their own use and transferred to Mes,rs.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 Co., 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 misderueanour committed by him, could escape the penalty attached to that misdemeanour ? Was it to he 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 Bankrupt c y a b ona fid e 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 ; arid 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 ho 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. S:raban and Mr. Bates were in compli city with Sir J. Paul iu 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 concludon, 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, inark by their verdict the distinction. He desired nothing more than that they should come to a just, sound, and candid conclu sion. THE TRIAL OF STRAHAN, PAUL, AND BATES. The following is a more detailed account of the address of Baron Alderson than we were enabled to give in our impres-ion of Saturday : Mr. Baron ALDERSON proceeded to sum up the evi dence. He said that before the conclusion of the pre sent proceedings he should- seek the jury an incidental question, arising out of part of the evidence and argu ment of counsel ; but the question be should leave for them to decide —namely, whether the defendants were guilty or not—was of a totally different description. He thought the jury had 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, not withetanding, 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 jary to decide was whether the elefeirdants 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. Strahan more hardly, perhaps, than against Mr. Bates. That was the order, probably, in which the jury would have to consider their respective guilt or innocence. The learned judge here recap tnlated the evidence of Dr. Griffith with reference to the 5,0001. Danish Bonds on which the question before the court arose, and said the jury would have to consider whether or not they could reasonably infer that the transactions which took place in reference to those bonds were such as from their nature partners in the same bank must be cog nizant of. 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 he should see them in order to be their owner in point of law. Dr. Griffith statel that he bad 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 Bow-street Mr. Strahan called on Dr. Griffith, and, admitting that some securities had been disposed of, aided that it was the first dishonest act of hie life. That observation, how ever, referred to the 5,0001. Danish Bondi 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 roust 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 the securities. However, he IMr. Baron Alderson) must tell the jury that they were not bound to be'ieve either the whole or any part of the statement made by Mr. Strahan on that occasion. They must take it into their fair consideration as one of the circumstances in the case, and no more. Mr. Strahan was certainly in correct in saying that that was the first fraudulent trans action on his part, if ho 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. — lt was just pos. sible for persons to take that view of their conduct, but the law did not. The jury were entirely to judge on that mat ter; and here he would observe that the statements put in for the purpose of making a "disclosure" showed that Dr. Griffith had been a loser to a considerably larger amount than the 5,0001. Danish Bonds in question. The check for 12,2281., which was paid in bank-notes, was dated March 16, 1854, which agreed with the items in Sir J. D. Paul's private account. A clerk of Foster and Braithwaite re ceived the bonds fr , :m 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 were thus sold by Sir J. D. Paul, and this transaction was the subject of the present charge. There could be no doubt as against Sir J. D. Paul—waiving for a moment the question whether the disclosure 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 cu-tody. This was a clear breach of trust on his part, which breach of trust in a banker was punishable as a misdemeanour 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 M essrs . Rothschild, Cohen, and other parties, that these parties received the dividend's upon them, and that the defendants had ceased to have any property whatever in the bonds thus sold by Foster and Braithwaite, although th e dividends were regularly carried to Dr. Grif fith's credit. Then the gentlemen had 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 pa r t ner was c i v il ly responsible for the acts of his copartners. And why ? Because by an agreement between him and his copartner he was con stituted an agent for all acts done in purs uance o f t h e partnership for his copartner. H e was t h erefore civilly responsible for all acts do ne , e ith er i n the presence or absence of his copartner ; but he was not responsible, and could not be held responsible fur any act - done by his copartner ; because n o man could consti tute another his agent to do a criminal act without his personally desiring him to do it, or ac ti ng w i th him in car rying it into effect.sct. He was only cri m i na ll y 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 concern, 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 called " complicity" with Sir John Dean Paul in the act with which ho was charged, God forbid that they should be held respo nsi bl e f or his crimi nal conduct. When the jury came to take the case into consideration they would not, however, altogether leave out the circumstance of their being partners, because, as partners, they !night have a knowlege of the nature of the business which was goin g on , an d i t was f or t h e j ury to say whether, being partners, and having the means of knowing, the circumstances were such as inducel them to believe that the defendants did know and were privy to the fraudulent transactions which brmed 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 lint place there was the money which was broucht to the hank from the sale of the bonds by Mes.rs. 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 circutn stances a sum of 12,0001. or more catue 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 uo 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 know 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? Then there was the circumstance that afterwards the whole of the de fendants toads a statement, or "disclosure," as it was ceded, in which they spoke of the 5,000/. Danish Five per Cents, deposited with Meefrs. 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, 1354. But nothing was said of the 5,0001. being sold in the first instance. They stated the fact 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 the whole, why was that nothing was said about the first sale ? Or did they think that the substitution of one set of bonds for the other took away the fraudulent charac ter of the first transaction ? One part of the case was perhaps not so strong against the defendant Bates. He did not state in his examination that he knew of his own knowledge of the sales or deposit of securities, or had anything to do with them. While the other defendants in their separate examinations spike 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 'sad been urged 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 of the other defendants, and for the purposes of the firm, they were equally guilty . I Mr. G. MoonE, 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 i 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 original estimate. They had expected the building would have cost 15,0001.—it had cost more thea 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 miget rest assured that the institution would go on prosperously from that day forward. They had 15,338/. 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 had at present 142 children iu 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 often been said, and he confessed he had sometimes said it himself, that it was impossible to get the com mercial bedy to combine for any useful purpose, but he 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 b. , en approved of by Prince Albert, who had been good enough to say that he had obtained a great many valu able hints for the Wellington College of which his Royal Highness was governor. His Royal Highness had also given the munificent donation of 100 guieeae, and ha I 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 2,000/. One of the largest donations was from Mrs. Cufflay, 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 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 nod pronounced a verdict of guilty against all the de fendant,. 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 meaaing of the act. Mr. Baron Alderson—You look on it, then, as a sham affair The 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 Straban, 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 b e i mag i ne d in a great commercial city like this. It tends to shake con tidence in all persons in the position you occupied, and it has shaken the public confidence in estanlishments 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 aed public justice require it ; and it is not for me to shrink from the discharge of any duty, however painful, which properly belongs to my office. I should have been very glad it it had pleased God that some one else now had to discharge that duty. I have seen (continued the learned judge, with deep erno . mii) at least one of you under very different eircueistances, 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 hell a high position in life, and the 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 cone, ice any worse case of the sort arising under the Aot of Parliament ap plicable to your offence. Therefore, as I cannot con ceive any worse case under the act, I o.in do nothing else bat impose- the sentence therein provided for the worst case—namely, the most severe punishment, which is, that you be severally transported for 14 years. The prisoners, who seemed aetoureled by their sen tence, leant against the dock as if they expected their counsel to make soma 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 OP EXETER AND THE Barriamar, Re eI:NERATION VETO.—The Bishop of Exeter has again refused to recognise the rights established by the judg ment of the Privy Council. The Rev. E. 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. DERELICT. —The Cork, Reporter 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 the harbour, fie immediately directed his course to the place indicated, and founda 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, aid 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."

' THE HIGH PRICE OF 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 cf her Majesty's subject, 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 un'e-s the police are em powered to nip these gatherings in what is technica ly 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, ou the green sward between Kensington -gardens and 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 bear 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 be 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. (Hear.) 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, leafing across Park-lane, whew, 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 quiokly 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, but located in the neighbour hood, would have been quite sufficient to quell any die. turbance of such magnitude. The officers on horseback rode backward and forward, and eventually succeeded in clearing Park-lane and South-etreet of the populace, when two respectably-dressed men were seen near the Victoria-gate' and the mob at once made an ons l aug h t upo n them, for what cause could not be learned ; but a s n o Td f h t eh h one thing is quite certain, that the parties commenced pelting the gentlemen, and they shouted "Down with the spies 1" and had it not been for Police Sergeant N stones and clods were being plentifully thrown about, e tar d O te u d rz o o ff n a e mv d ion i b : t e rh i t e ea e r:cha who protected the two at the moment they might have been killed. the windows.

The destruction of property, however, was far more serious in the neighbourhood of May-fair, and would have been still greater had it not been for the tim e ly arr i val 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 simply to get up disturbances to p erpetrate 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 detecting 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 streets adjacent began to assume their usual state of quietude, fresh outoreak. but the police were wisely kept in reserve in ca ne o f a The conduct of the police cannot be spoken too highly Sporting Intelligence. -- NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING CON CLUDED.-SATURDAY.

DERBY. 1000 to 15 agst Sly Fellow. 1000 to 15 agst Bonnie Scotland. Although the Autumnal Meetings at Worcester, Liver pool, Shre,•sbury, and one or two other places, have yet to be celebrated, the h-gitimate racing season was, to all intents and purposes, closed this day at Newmarket. Never perhaps, even in the high and palmy days of the 'ft:if, were more events decided in one week, and seldom, if ever, were the encounters marked by such stirring and genuine interest. Toe details which were daily published have made our sporting readers familiar with the most prominent fea tures 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 58 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 Criterioc 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 a❑d comfort 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 busine93 of the weighing department with his customary care and punctuality, and Mr. Hibbord, the starter, accompliAed 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 must responsible and arduous, but in no instance was the correctnesf , of 11.1 r. Clark's award disputed.

WOOLLEN TRADE. kFrom the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LREDS, Oct. 2G.—There has seldeUi been a larger at tendance c.f buyers in the town (representing most of the prill:3ipas wholesale houses) than during the current week, and a little more activity has couse quk-utly ,b-en given to the woollen trade. Buyers have been purchasing whiter goods chie 4 ly, but have ow rated 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 fair steady business doing in the country trade, and, considering the very unsettled state of money matters and the high price of corn, thous is suite 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 sa!es lower figures had to be submitted to—in fact, the general tons of business was very quiet, with a slight downward tendency. Short descriptions of wool did not meet with so steady a sale as that for 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 plane ; 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. lees 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 6 , 4114, as all their prc• duce is in demand.—Leiceste>• Journal SAA BOHN t 1 a iLz. ti ',lgnites that the MAILS tire ;:ent item the OMIT.' roJigt• .1 0 e r the , light—and M by the morning—despatch.) trorA. n •i , )4")17 TULE Pori r )leptchi.
