IRLAiti). DU I3LIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE CRIMEAN BANQUET. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, etended by a brilliant staff, arrived at a quarter to I o'clock, and, amidst enthusiastic applause, was conducted to his seat on the dais. The Lord Mayor took the chair, having to his right the Lord Lieutenant, the Commander of the Forces, Lord Talbot de Ma!abide, Lord Dunally, Admi. ral Chads, and a number of superior officers who had come in charge of detachments. On the left sat the Lord Chancellor, Lord Vans of Harrowden, Lord Gougb, the Right Hon. C. Horseman, General Sir J. Chatterton, Col. Gordon Higgins, Mr. Dargan, Sir T. O'Brien, M.P.. Col. Larcorn, ljnder-Secretary, Alderman George Roe, LL.D., and a number of officers wearing the Cri mean medal. Ample justice having been done to the profusion of good fare provided by the committee, and grace having been said by the Lord Mayor, The LORD Mereit rose and said—l be,g to propose the health of her Majesty the Q'ieen, a toast which, I am sure no man in this le'aigdorn would refuse to drink, much lees the military, for whom her Majesty has at all times evinced such kindness, care, and love. (Loud cheers.) The toast was responded to with the greatest enthu siasm. The LORD MAYOR again rose. He had next the honour of proposing " the health of the Lord Lieutenant, and prosperity to Ireland." Tbere was not a man in this country to , whom the virtues of the nobleman who repre sented her Majesty in Ireland were not known, and so long as he continued to preside over its fortunes it could not but prosper. (Loud cheers.) His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, On rising to respond to the toast, was received with such deafening cheers from all parts of the ball that several minutes elapsed before he was enabled to commence his address. At length, comparative silence having been obtained, his Excellency proceeded with his speech, but was only able to make himself heard by raising his voice to the highest possible pitch. He said—Soldiers of the Crimea, my wish now is not to speak long, but loud. I wish that every man I see before me could hear me say how proud I feel to be one of them this day. In the place I fill I have a right to tell you in the name of the good Queen I serve that her fine troops are welcome. (Cheers.) I have the right to tell you in the name of the Irish people, that they love brave men—that they know that you, one and all, have fought, and toiled, and bled, and would have died at your posts; • and 30 they have wished this d a y t o fill your cups to the brim, and to give you the fat of the land. (Cheers.) Not for the worth of the thing, not for the sake of gorging you with food, not for the stir of one short hour, but to show you and those who will come after you, and who some day will march under the same lags, that your countrymen, and countrywomen too, alt wish to thank you for what you have done, and show you that they remember you still in peace, when the din of war is over, and that they will toast you at their feasts and bless you in their prayers. (Cheers.) We are thrown upon Irish ground, and Ireland has a right to give a welcome to heroes, because she has sent forth many to every grade in your ranks. (Cheers.) But Irish hospitality is not stinted to her own children, as it was not asked, when the cheer arose loudest in your charge, whether it had most of the English, Scotch, or Irish accent—as it was not asked, when the red blood flowed in the field or in the trench, whether the warm tide gushed from English, Scotch, or Irish veins—and here to-day you are seated side by side at the same board, a nd you need no passport but the bright medal which glows upon your manly breasts, (Loud cheers.) It is in deed a deep cause of thankfulness to see you here thus ; you, who have breasted the deep slopes of the Alma— yon, who have dashed a'ong the fatal pass of Balaklava —you, who have held the blood-red heights of Inkerman —you, who have survived the midnight trench, the thundering rampart, and the deadly hospital. (Cheers.) It is a matter of deep gratitude to see you thus under a roof of peace, and before a board of plenty. (Cheers.) I. know well, my friends, that your strength and your blood would be again given to your country if your country should require them of you. But I humbly trust that it will be so ordered that those faces I now see lighted up with such an honest glow, will never again be darkened by a frown upon an enemy—(cheers)—but may ever beam with good will towards your fellow-men, and gratitude to your God. I have now only to add that in my belief neither a Lord Lieutenant nor any other person ever had his health drunk by such a body of men; and I have only now to say, which I do from my very heart, to 0113 and all of you, may God bless you. (Loud and deafening cheers, amidst which his Excellency resumed his seat.) Lord GoUGH then rose amidst tremendous cheering, the entire assembly standing, and said—My Lord Mayor, your Excellency, my lords ' and gentlemen, and, I wit add, one form more dear from early associations, brother moldiers. (Loud cheers.) I feel the present one of the happiest moments of a long life of military vicissitudes. (Cheers.) To be associated with my countrymen in this public demonstration of a nation's gratitude for military deeds well deserves a nation's praise and best feelings. (Cheers.) I see before me a brilliant display of those brave troops— a deputation, in some measure, from those quartered in Ireland, who have so nobly fulfilled their duty to their Sovereign and to their country in the field of battle, and who, I am well convinced that iu times of peace, gained by their indomitable gallantry, will equally act a soldier's. part in upholding the laws of their coun try. I have now to propose to you the health of our gal lant allies, who so gloriously participated in all our dis tresses and in all our glories. (Cheers.) It is known to you. brother soldiers, the noble part taken in the late campaign by that great monarch now happily presiding over the destinies of France ; how nobly he bas supported the British Government—how nobly his armies acted in conjunction with British soldiers—(cheers)—how happily by their united energies they brought a war, fearful almost to extermination, to a happy peace. (Cheers.) We feel a debt of gratitude also to that chivalrous mo narch who, situated in the midst of governments either lukewarm or fearful to throw themselves into the strug gle, sent his soldiers, few in numbers, but great in disci pline and courage, to support us in the fight. The Turkish troops had not opportunity tf acting with our brave fellows—Oa:Os—but they did their duty when they were called upon both nobly and effectually— (cheers)--and the defence of Silistria and that of Kars can never be blotted net. (Great cheering.) Having now fulfilled my duty of addressing you, I shall be happy to fulfil that which I am placed here to perform by prepos log the health of the Efll peror of the French and our noble A.iliee, who so well viol:a:reed us in the great cause which we are met this- dejeke commemorate. The toast was drunk with all the honours. Air— " Parient pour la Syrie." The French Consul, M. DE 13CS*RA.FF, who was re ceived with loud applause, then rose and said—The gallant general has just spoken to you in such terms of our alliance and of the hearty feeling of the British, Sardinian, and French army, that I should only h ave said a few words to return thanks, if your cheers had not brought to us the re j remembrance of your exertion s , of your pains, of your sys, of your victories in th e Crimea. You hear i them, officers awl soldiers of the 20th and 331 regiments, when mastering yoursel ves the Russian batteries. At Alma you say - the Zoueves ca,eming the heights oe your left side ; 3 7 ( ) " t Brigade, you recollect them, when the Cea.sseurs d'Afrique, your admiring brothers in arms, cane after your heroic charge at Belaklava. (Cheers ) Guards, these cheers are still in your memery, for they are coupled with your victory at Inkerman ; and you, Royal Irish, you will n t forget that alter you had housed yourselves in tiebastopol, they hailed your happy but unwilling returo. (lestel cheers ) These events are living in our hearts, hut you nsust me believe that we will forget these labours which did not shins so brilliantly, but which were net less glorious. We remember well your weary Retching nights, your fights, steel to steel, hand to hand, when you could not`knew friends from foes ; your suffering on the sick bed, and your eoristancy in enduring the greatest privations. It was your high sense of discipline which made you master such hardships. Too many are missing to-day, and if we give our regrets to those who are no more, let me, as a Frenchman, join my hearty welcome to the welcome of Ireland to the army of Sebastopol. (Loud cheers.) Serjeant BRUCE, of the Royal Artillery, returned thanks. He was very indistinctly heard. He said his . fellow-soldiers and himself would always be prepared to defend the weak against the strsnee when the cause of right demanded it. The battles of the Alma, Balakiava, and Inkerman had testifies as to the manner in which the Artillery did their duty ; and the blood-stained walls o f Sebastopol tessified as to the mariner in which the soldiers united with their brother blue jackets of the Naval Brigade. If it should please God to call on them once more, they should be ready and willing to serve th e i r Queen and their country. (Cheers.) Serjeant-Major WOODEN, 17th Lancer,, returned thanks for the cavalry. He said—May it please your Excellency , m y Lord Ma y or, and gentlemen, i ri se on behalf of Cdose present here to return thanks to you fir the entertainment which you have so liberally provided for us this day, and also for the opinionyouhpaye ex pressed upon th e army in general, and more o n ally upon these who were fortunate enough to form part of the Crimean army. We little thought at one ti me ever to see such a festive scene as this. W . e have gone through much danger, both from sword and sickness, but we brave been mercifully spared, and no soldier can say that the countrymen hate forgotten the hardships he had to con tend with. Is it not shown to us this day bow the citizens of Dublin and people of Ireland remember our services ? And no country could have shown more the people of ore anxiety for her soldiers, or done more for there, ha Bri tain did for the soldiers during the Crimean campaign. Comrades, there is no occasion for roe to say how we all appreciate this good feeling on the part of the people d of Ireland ; b u t l e t me sa y this, that should cur country re quire our service again, we will do as we have done be fore, and th roug h hardships and everything else we will do our duty cheerfully ansl with a good heat. Again I wish to thank you all for yetir kindness, and the good feeling you have shown towards teh Qearterrnaster-Sereeant «' se. LEFONG, of the 77th Re• giment, spoke as follows f T the infantry—Sons of Mare, I solicit your attention. Inhabitants of this beautiful isle —the Emerald Isle, commonly called " Old Irela nd"— you are worthy of o ur thanks for the kind manner in which you have received us and ati ended to us this day. That attention and that kindness will animate the rising generation—that is, our children—when we are no nior s When their country requires their services, they will fly to arms to maintain the name of Old England—and show that she never shall be conquered, nor those who assist her. (Cheers.) They will to arms to conquer or die. JoEUT POULTON, boatswain's mate of the La Hogue, returned thanks on behalf of the navy, ascending for that purpose, with singular expertness, to the head table, and not satisfied with the ordinary trumpet call by which the attention of the guests was demanded, enforced si lence after his own fashion by mounding the shrill pipe with which, in virtue of his office, be wag invested. The, gelar and wholly unexpected act, combined with the TII 147, SUN, 1) ON, FRIDA LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 23. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE W. J. ROESON.-THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS. This was the first meeting, under the bankruptcy of W. J. Robson ' the party who stands charged with the extensive frauds in connection with the shares of the Crystal Palace C )mpany. He is destribed as an anti. mony smelter, !cc., of Bowling-green Mews, Kennington Oval. The court was crowded with parties taking an inte rest in the case. Robson was brought up in custody, but was not brought into court, the proceedings being purely formal. It was stated in the course of the proceedings that Mr. E. T. Smith, of Drury-lane, who had taken posses. sion of the bankrupt's property at Kilburn-lodge, and sold it immediately on his absconding, had yesterday handed over the proceeds, 1,1351., co Mr. Johnson, the official assignee. It appeared that Mr. Smith had been induced to interfere in the mater in consequence of a pressing application from Robson, written on the night before he absconded, and which was in the following terms : • _ _ _ " My dear Smith,—You once said that if I were in :rouble you would save me. lam in that trouble. lam Lost unless you aid me. Come to me directly.—Yours, " W. J. ROBSON." It appears that the police were in error in supposing that Robson was concealed for any time in London. It is now stated that he left by the boat for Boulogne on the morning after the discovery of the frauds, his wife and sister following. . . . . Not above a do"zen proofs of' debt were made, and those ch;tfiy fir triflin g sums, amounting in the aggre gate only to 2001. or 3001. Mr. Clements, stockbroker, of Bank buildings, was chosen trade assignee. A private meeting was held on the same day, for the examination of the bankrupt and other witnesses, but the particulars did not transpire. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Under-Sheriff.) ROUNTREE V. HAIL/U.-CHRISTMAS GUSH. This action was brought to recover damages under the following circumstances. The plaintiff is the landlord of the Salmon and Compasses', Penton-street, and he wrote to the defendant, who lives at Spalding, some time be fore Christmas, asking if he could supply him with 50 geese at 7s. 6d. each, to be delivered at his (plaintiff's) house the Saturday before Christmas-day. In reply the plaintiff received a letter from the plaintiff's daughter, who manages his business, agreeing to do so, but from some reason or other the geese were not supplied, and the plaintiff had to purchase the number of geese he re quired at a higher price. This action was brought to recover for the breach of contract, and the jury gave a verdict for 3/. LORD MA.YOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder.) WHITEHOUSE ♦. JEEWOOD. The plaintiff in this case had been a client of the de. fendant, who is a solicitor, and plaintiff claimed the sum of 6341. 133., which he had received on his account in his capacity as solicitor. Mr. Robinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. H. James for the defendant. Mr. Robinson called a clerk in the Court of Common Pleas, who proved that he paid to Mr. Jerwood 6341. 13s. on account of Mr. Whitehouse, being the amount of a verdict and costs obtained in that court. The payment took place on the 9th of July. Mr. James said it would be impossible for this court to try this case as there were about SO witnesses to call on his side. It would direct the mode in which the reference should be conducted. Mr. Robinson was quite willing to have the matter referred to Mr. Brandon, the registrar of the court. The Recorder said then the plaintiff should take a verdict for the full amount, subject to the certificate of the registrar, with power to refer any point of law that might arise to the court. The jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff for Oil. lis. committed a felony in marrying an idiot, and might be hanged or transported, and this was told her in her hus band's presence. Miss Pemberton also admitted that she had kept the marriage certificate, "te satisfy the family that it had ready taken place." As might be ex pected the wife of George Pemberton had written to her husband as to her forlorn and destitute state, and these notes from time to time had been left at the residence of the Pemberton family, yet no answer was returned until a curious event took place. John Murgatroyd, a barber, who shaved Mr. George Pemberton twice a week, whilst he was at his brother's, Newhall-hill, was seduced to carry a letter to that person from his wife, and did so ; but by some means (we cannot say how, for the barber, although called as a witness, was not exa mieed), this epistle got into the hands of Mr. F. Fern !). rton, who sent it back to the wife, with an intimation that he knew nothing about her husband's residence, and should not be troubled about his affairs. Thus far we hive given the outline facts of this romance, and at this stage (not quite the close of the plaintiff's case), his Honour, who bad previously intimated the same opinion, said it was clear to his mind that there had been no con• spiracy, and therefore the action must in its present shape fail. As to the defendant, Miss Charlotte Fern herton, there was not the least evidence to affect her as to such a charge, and Mr. Charles Pemberton being dead it could not be said that Mr. F. Pemberton had really and fully acted with his brother as co-conspirator in the matter. Then came the strong fact that the plaintiff, iu the whole of the interviews he bad had with the Pem berton family, confined his intercourse to some inquiries as to where Mr. George Pemberton could be found, and nevi r once said, "I have a demand against you for his wife's maintenance at my house." Mr. O'Brien had taken the same view of the plaintiffs case, and under the circumstances %tr. Kennedy elected to be non suited —and on Mr. O'Brien asking for the costs, his Honour granted the same. OHARGE AGAINST HARRISON, THE LEEDS "WIZARD." Henry Harrison, the Leeds " wisard," who obtained so unenviable a notoriety in connexion with the murderer William Dove, was on Thursday morning brought up before the Leeds magistrates, charged with obtaining money by false pretences from Elizabeth Croft. It ap peared that this female, who is a servant in a public house, had in the first instance simply desired to have her fortune told, for which she paid Harrison 6d. Sub sequently she consulted him in respect to "charming" back to her her sweetheart, who latterly had neglected to pay his accustomed visits. Harrison, upon this, coolly proposed to her an improper familiarity with him self as the only means of regaining her lover's affections. She indignantly refused compliance, and left the house. Her anxiety about her sweetheart, howev, r, conjoined with her evidently strong belief in Harrison's magical powers, induced her to call upon the latter about a week afterwards. She told him that her lover had not re turned. He again answered that there was no way of restoring him except by the means he had pointed out on the previous occasion. She refused, and was leaving the room, when he seized her and attempted a criminal assault. She, however, broke away from him, and asked what money he would take to restore her sweetheart? He replied "Five shillings." She had but half-a-crown at the time, but borrowed another 2s. Bd. from a friend, and paid him. He undertook to charm her sweetheart back for this sum, but as the young man did not come she at the end of a week again went to Harrison's. This was on Friday last. He was alone in his private room, and having heard her story impudently renewed his former improper advances. He approached her at the same time, and she attempted to get away. He con trived, however, to get between her and the door, and seizing her round the waist, and notwithstand ing her cries and resistance succeeded in his vile ob ject. Before he allowed her to depart he threatened her that if she raised any alarm, or told any person what had taken place, "He would bewitch her." Frightened by his threats, she did not complain of the outrage upon her ; but he, with a recklessness quite irre concilable with his general acuteness, boasted in a pub lic-house that he had been familiar with her. This reached the ears of the girl's mistress, who took her to task, and then she told all. Hannah Gibson Wilson, a married woman (who lent the girl the second half-crown to pay Harrison), Braith waite, a constable, and Superintendent James, of the Leeds police, gave corroborative testimony. The bench decided upon remanding the prisoner till Monday next ; and refused to grant bail under any cir cumstances. Spoiling Intelligence. TAT rERSALL'S -TIIIIRODIY. The betting on the Cambridgeshire underwent no important change. Coup de Main had a steady upward tendency, and was backed at an improved price. At first 710 to 100 was booked about him ; afterwards', however, S to 1 was laid. He was the only animal really in demand. 7to 2 was currently offered on the field, and 7 to 1, " bar one." Bto 1 was the last bet booked about Pole Star. 200 even was laid between her and Coup de Main. Pretty Boy, who had been in some request in the City during the morning, was sup ported at 25 to 1.

THE NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS IN SCOTLAND. — 'rite southern papers announce that it has been decided t to attempt the consolidation of the Naval Coast Volunteers with the Coastguard. The true statement should have been that it was never intended to consoli date the two forces, for they are necessarily diti*ct. The Coastguard i s i n the constant discharge of duty , and in the receipt of regular pay. The Naval Coast Volun teers only get a bounty, and are paid when they are called out for drill—a duty to which they have never yet been asked. To a malgamate these two forces would be as impossible-as to unite the regular army with the militia.—Bffnifeart Journal, JOINT-STOCK BAN . 40 a 1 Australasia; 9B 100 99 8 25 121 Bank of Egypt - 3d 90 100 50 Bank of London 40 Bri.

CORN EXCHANGE. ----- - There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's market ; nevertheless, the demand fo most kinds ruled heavy. Selected samples of both red and white were held at full quotations, but tho value of other kinds was almost nominal. Over 14,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand this week. The business doing in most descriptions was limited. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were held at full currencies.

BIRTHS.: OF A RON On the 23d inst., at 57, Oxford-terrace, Hyde-park, the wife of C. F. D. Caillard, Esq., barrister-at-law. ao On the 23d inst., at Church - terrace, Lee, Mrs. Geor. Legg, rough salt-water look and gestures, in such marked con trast to all the previous orators, gave rise to considerable laughter and applause, and insured for the representa tive of Britain's favourite defenders a most flattering re ee;,tion. His address was in perfect keeping with the in troduction. fie said—May it please your Excellency, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, all round, we feel highly honoured foe the kindness you have bestowed upon us in inviting us to thiS grand banquet in acknowledgment of our services in the Crimea ; and should any foreign na tion ever again be at war with Great Britain they will find the "wooden walls of Old England" and the tars that man them able to hold their rights—(cheers)--and that in them lies the best safety and the noblest means of defence of the country. (Cheers.) We are ready to tivbt our battles over again to prevent any foe or stranger invading our coasts, and for the protection of our rights and liberties, and all that we love. May the British flag fly triumphantly over every sea as it has always done. The Queen and the navy for ever. (Great che,ring, during which the gallant tar retired from his conspicuous position. waving one of the miniature Union Jacks taken from off the dinner tables.) _ _ HENRY FIDO, sergeant of the Royal Marines, her Ma jesty's ship La Hogue, said—Most honourable ladies and gentlemen—With the kind permission of my com rades, I stand before you to return thanks—most sin cere and hearty thanks—for the kindness shown to us on this present occasion, at this banquet, g iven in i lionour of those who served in the late war. Should we be re quired again on any other occasion, we are willing and ready to sacrifice our lives for our Queen and country. (Loud cheering.) Lord SEA.TON proposed the health of the Lord Mayo r. Lord TALBOT DE MALARIDE, in proposing the next toast, " The Memory of the Fallen, ' dwelt upon the pride it gave him to participate in a demonstration which acknowledged the services which had been rendered by the army of the Crimea in upholding the honour of the country; Mr. A. C. O'DwvER proposed the toast of the distin guished ladies who nobly ministered to the sick and wounded in the Crimea. This toast was received with loud and continued cheers. Sergeant HOLLOWAY, of the 33d Regiment, responded to the toast. He bad been permitted, he said, to express the appreciation of the army of the great services ren dered to them by the ladies whose health had been pro posed by Mr. O'Dwyer. (Cheers.) He had been laid up in Scutari hospital five months underthesuperintendence of Miss Nightingale and the good Sisters of Mercy. When he recovered from his wounds he was made orderly man at the hospital, in consequence of which he was enabled to testify to the attention which those ladies paid to the wounded soldiers. When he was called upon at the different hours of the night to parade the hospital he found Miss Nightingale always in attendance, with a cup of arrowroot in her hand, miniclering to the wants of the wounded, cr soothing the list moments of the dying soldier. When he was called on to render what service he could in the hospital, he saw that the soldiers were treated and attended as soldiers ought to be treated and attended, and he knew full well, from experience and observation, the great blessing conferred on the sick and wounded troops by the soothing attendance of Miss Nightingale and the Sisters of our Lady of Mercy. They all knew that every soldier was not an orator, although many great soldiers were also distinguished orators ; and, therefore, he trusted that the simple words he used in expressing his feelings on the occasion would pass without criticism. (Applause.) He would conclude by saying, when we are in the field may we never know the want of a Nightingale. (Cheers.) His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in proposing the next toast, " The Committee," said—The time has oome to close these happy proceedings. We ought not to break up without offering our thanks to those who have contributed to the splendid success, the noblemen and gentlemen who have served upon the committee. (Loud ekeering.) Many of you must be well aware how import ant a thing it is to have a committee. (Hear.) Well, I trust that there has been no stint of your rations today. (Cheers and laughter.) I doubt not you have heard a generous citizen of Dublin supplied the wine at his own cost ; and those who sam this place in which we are now assembled ten days since, will know how much has been done to effect so splendid a transformation. (Cheers.) So altogether I hope when in days to come it shall be men tioned how our men fought in the Crimea, it will be added how they feasted in Dublin. (Cheers.) I think, therefore, we are bound to express our gratitude to those whose spirit—whose good taste and harmony, have done so much to contribute to the success of this Irish gather. ing. (Cheers.) I give you, then, our thanks to the com mittee, backed with three more Irish cheers. (Cheers.) Mr. P. O'BRIEN, M.P., returned thanks, and in, the delivery of his discourse the hon. and learned gentleman was loudly cheered. The whole assemblage then sang in chorus " God save the Queen." The proceedings terminated shortly after 4 o'clock, when the men having left the hall with the utmost regu larity were mustered outside, and marched, amidst the cheers of the people, to their respective destinations, the great majority of the troops that had arrived from the country proceeding to the several railway stations to re turn to their quarters. The demeanour of the men, without being i❑ the slightest degree constrained, was excellent, and thousands of anecdotes and recognitions of old friendships and meetings at the seat of war, passed between them during the day. They all appeared well satisfied with the way in which they were received and entertained, and the whole scene was one of orderly good humour and happiness all through. Of the 3,000 troops of the line (all wearing Crimean medals) 1,500 were from the regiments stationed in Dub lin, and 1,000 from those on the Curragh. The remainder were from various stations throughout the country. The regiments represented from the Curragh were the 18th Royal Irish, the 633, 14th, 23th, 33th, 48th, 57th, and 90th. There were 115 men of the Royal Artillery, from Dublin, Ballincollig, and Cbarleville ; 3 men of the 2LI Dragoon Guards. The regiment was not in the Crimea, and these men were volunteers. One man from the Ist Dragoon Guards, and 193 men of the 17th Lancers. The regiment is 402 strong. 36 men from the 2,1 battalion of the Grenadier Guards, which numbers 74 medals. 333 men of the 4th, which numbers 672 medals. 243 men of the 33d, which comprises 494 medals. One man, a volunteer from the 3d battalion of the 60th Rifles. 342 men of the 77th, which numbers 696 medals. 228 men of the 95th, which has 462 medals. Thera were 500 medal men from out stations. There were 540 pensioners, constabulary, police, and marines. From the depot of the 18th Regiment, at Birr, came 19 men. From the depot of the 63d, at Birr, came 19 men. Four officers and 19 men each came from the depots at Ferruoy, of the 14th, 28th, 38th, 48th, 57th, and /Rh. From the depots of the 13th, 47th, and 88th Regiments at Templemore, came two officers and 19 men of each regiment. One officer and 55 men came from the 55th at Kilkenny ; one officer and 25 men of the 13th Light Dragoons came from Cahir. From the depots at Limerick of the 9th, 17th, and 39th, came two officers and 19 men each. The Bth Hussars sent from Dundalk one officer and 25 men. From the depots of the 21st and 31 Regiments at Belfast, one officer and 19 men from each regiment, One officer and 19 men from the depot of the 46th at Enniskillen ; one officer and 19 men from the depots of each of the 62d and 63th at Mullingar. Frim the Curragh the following were the proportions ;-I,t Foot, 207 ; 38th Regiment, 204 men; 56 , 1 i Regiment, 177 men ; 18th R o y a l 144 ; 51st five men ; 94th Regiment, 17 men ; Ist Royal Dragoons, 100 men ; 2d, or the Greys, 126 men. The following are the regiments whose depots in this country sent c )n -tiegents :-631, 14th, 23th, 48th,57th, 50th, 12th, 47th, 86t0, 9th, 17th, 39th, 21st, 31, 46'h, 62 , 3, and 68 , ,h. The complicated arrangements for the sending up of the troops were all ably carried out under the Deputy- Adjutant Qoarterrnaster-General Colonel M 'Kenzie, who discharged his duties ably, succesduily, and with a conrtesy that did him honour as an officer. The dishes consisted of 250 hams, 230 legs of mutton, 500 meat-pies, 100 venison-pasties, 100 rics-puddings, 200 plum-puddings, 200 turkeys and geese, 250 pieces of beef, weighing in all upwards of 3,000 lbs. ; three tons of potatoes, 2,000 loaves, 100 capons and chickens, and six ox-tongues. The potatoes and the plum pudding were brought in hot ; the rest of the dinner was cold. To each man was supplied a quart of porter and a pint of the choice port-wine given by Mr. Brennen, concerning the quality of which it may be stated that for the due appreciation of it the palate of a connoisseur would almost be req'iired. There were 8,000 plates, 5,000 knives and forks, 5,000 table spoons, 5,000 dessert spoons, 100 dozen of carving knives and forks, and a proportionate supply of mustard, salt, and pepper stands. EXAMINATIONS OF THE SOCIETY OF ARTS. The Council of the Society of Arts, in further de veloping the system of examinations which they have established, and in enlarging its sphere of action so as to include commercial and trade schools, desire to state their views in thus extending its principle. The Universities, the Inns of Com t, the Military and Naval Colleges, the East India Company, the Colleges of Physicians, Surgeons, and Apothecaries, the various government boards, the Com mittee of Privy Council on Education, all provide exami nations of various degrees of strictness for candidates who desire to obtain degrees, certificates, or employment. There is, however, a considerable number of persons, members of Mechanics' Institutions, schools, and other bodies in union with this society, with regard to whom little or no provi sion of this kind is made for testing the attainments of the e who would wish to procure private employment on the ground o f mer i t; or to obtain a formal judgment pro nounced upon their acquirements by a competent tribunal. The council also desire to secure sympathetic study and punctuality of attendance in the several classes of the in stitutions in union with the society. On the recommendation of the board of examiners they have passed the following minute:— " That no person shall be eligible for examination who shall nothave been for six mouths at least previous to the day of examination a member of a mechanics' institution, school, or other body in union with this society. " That no graduate or undergraduate of any university of the United Kingdom, no student of any of the learned pro fessions, no certificated schoolmaster or pupil teacher, shall be eligible for examination by the society's examiners. That no person under 15 years of age shall be admitted to examination. _ " That every candidate shall undergo a previous examina tion in writing from dictation, and correcting faulty E n c.. lisp composition to test the hand writing, spelling, and know. ledge of English grammar possessed by each candidate. " That no candidate shall be examined in more than three subjects." The council have the pleasure to announce that Mr. Henry Johnson, of 39, Crutched-friars, has placed the sum ofSW. at their disposal, in such a manner as may best pro mote the etiecese of the society's eurnitiation. DISPUTED MARRIAGE. At the County Court Birmingham, on Monday, before Leigh Trafford, Esq., the case of " Webb v. Francis and Charlotte Pemberton" created considerable interest. The following report of the proceedings is from the Birmingham Journal :—ln this, perhaps the most singular case ever brought before his Honour, plaintiff is a bridle cutter, in Cannon-street, and Mr. Pemberton is the well-known glass enameller, in Newhall-hill, Miss Pemberton being his sister. Mr. Kennedy, instructed by Mr. Collis, was retained for Mr. Webb, and Mr. O'Brien, instructed by Messrs. Tyndall, Son, and Johnson, appeared for Mr. and Miss Pemberton. The inquiry lasted some hours, and from its nature requires a brief introductory notice to make it generally interesting and intelligible. The mem bers of the Pemberton family, all more or less connected with this strange matter, were, in addition to the two defendants,, Charles Pemberton, Catherine Pemberton (both recently dead), and George Pemberton. George Pemberton, said to be now 46 years of age, in March last, and for some time previously, resided with his two sisters, at llockley-hill. He had the means of support, followed no occupation, but employed himself principally in the large garden attached to his sisters' premises. For about ten months previous to the date referred to there lived a servant with the Misses Pemberton, a pale but well-looking young woman named Sarah Allen. As a matter of course, Mr. George Pemberton and this fe male had opportunities of being together, and the conse quence of this state of things was that in March the two persons, George Pemberton and Sarah Allen, clandes tinely left the house of the Misses Pemberton, and were married at All Saints Church by the Rev. Mr. Taylor. Up to this very day not the least suspicion had been entertained by the Misses Pemberton of any intimacy between the two. However, after the ceremony, the newly-married pair came home to Hockley-hill ; and in answer to the inquiries caused by so unusual a circum stance as their having been away together, Mr. George said, " We have been to be married ;" and the particu lars and the marriage licence were adduced in confirma tion. According to the statements made by the recently married Mrs. George Pemberton, the two ladies, acting in concert, forthwith took from her the marriage certifi cate, pushed Mr. George into one of the parlours, locked the door, and finally ejected the newly-married wife from the house ; and from that day to the present one she had never seen or heard from her husband, and was in total ignorance where he was, or if he still lived. Her parents are poor people at Worcester, and the only resource she had was to take shelter with a poor man she knew named Taylor. After staying with him a short time he could no longer keep her without remuneration, and she then went to the house of the present plaintiff, Mr. Webb, where she had since resided, and was sup plied with board and lodging to about three weeks ago, when, all means failing, as was said, to induce the living members of her husband's family (oy this time, in July and August la-t, Mr. Charles and Miss Catherine Pem berton were dead) to contribute towards her support, "she now being near her confinement" (so Mr. Ken nedy said), she had sought for and obtained admission into the workhouse. In this state of things it was said that Mr. Harding, having been originally professionally engaged on her behalf, refused an offer by the Pernher toes made to her of 10s. per week, and therefore it be came necessary that legal steps should be taken to secure to this young woman at least the means of support. Mr. Collis was accordingly consulted, and the result was that to-day the defendants, Mr. Francis and Miss Charlotte Pemberton, were charged with conspiracy to th e e ff ect that they illegally and clandestinely kept their brother away from his lawful wife; that they exercised such con straint over his person and property as to prevent his wife having access to him, or of receiving from him th e 1 means of support ; and that by such illegal conduct the plaintiff, Mr. Webb (as finding the said wife the means of subsistence), had sustained damage to the amount of 51., which he now sought to recover at his Honour's hands. As may easily be inferred in such a case, and with such respectable persons as are the Pemberton family, for defendants, much was said and intimated as to the proceedings which might be taken in a superior c •urt (Chancery); but with these topics, as they entered not into the merits brought before his Honour, we have now nothing to do. We may note here that the de fence (not, however, at all gone into, as will be seen sub , equently) was that Mr. George Pemberton was in fact an idiot, incapable of managing his own affairs, ignorant of the value of money, &c., and of course not responsible for his actions, nor legally capable of contra t keg marriage. Mr. Kennedy called the two defendants, Mr. Francis and Miss Charlotte Pemberton, into the witness-box, and their testimony went to show such a state of things. The firmer defendant said that Mr. Char/es Pemberton had inherited personal property both from his father and his mother, and that he (Mr. Francis) and the late Mr. George Pemberton were trus tees of such property. Mr. F. Pemberton further stated that after the day of the marriage the husband of the girl Sarah had remained at Hockley-hill, at Newhall hill, and was now and for some months past had been at a Mr. Brookes's, a farmer, who resides in the Stratford road, about six or seven miles from Birmingham (as was ascertained with some difficulty), and who was not pre viously known to the Pemberton family. The evidence of Mr. and Miss Pemberton went to show that Mr. George Pemberton, although considered of imbecile mind, was permitted to go to and from the house at his pleasure, although a witness, a woman who lived servant next door to the Misses Pemberton, and who had assisted at the marriage, said she had seen him twice in the sireets, but he then bad a bby with him. This brides maid, as we may call her, referring to the marriage, said that Mr. George Pemberton o n th e occas i on " bhaved as a man ought to do." After some que , tioning, Mr. Francis Pemberton admitted that about two years ago his brother, Mr. George Pemberton, had made and executed a will at the office of the Messrs. Tyndall, solicitors to the family, and that about twenty years ago Mr. George Pemberton assisted in the business in New hall-hill. In the course of her evidence, Mrs. George Pemberton, the bride, said as to her intimacy with her husband during the ten months ribs had lived with his sisters, she and hire and the two ladies frequently sat down to cards, and that Mr. George played the gadue of whist as well as any one eilse. She bad never seen any silliness ran the part of her husband. The defen dast, Mi , s Charlotte Pemberton, gave a flat contra diction to the card party affair, and in the course of her answers as to what took place on the marriage day, she swore that her brother George said "I never will go with her," meaning his wife, and that his stay in the house after Sarah was forced out was entirely voluntary. "George," she added, " seemed very much alarmed at what he had- done," and there seems no question but that the girl was told she had P'.VE f i G, OCTOBER 24 1856 sIiARL MARKETS. , "'T-13S DAY.)
