THE EARL OF CARLISLE AT LEEDS. The Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle, the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, visited Leeds yesterday for the purpose of taking part in the inauguration of a medical charity called the Leeds Hospital for Women and Children. The inauguration was of a plain and formal character. After the Bishop of Ripon had offered an appropriate prayer, the Earl of Ca•tlisle made a brief speech, of a congratulatory character, observing that he should have another opportunity of referring to the institution. The noble Earl then went to the Town-hall, at which there was a very large assemblage of persons, who received his Lordship with much applause. He was met by the Mayor and Corporation, in their robes of office, and the following address was read to his Lordship by tha Town-clerk (Mr. Smith) :- 4" To his Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle, K.G., Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. " We, the Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Leeds, in the county of York, desires most heartily to welcome your lordship on the occasion of your visit to our town, while we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of giving expression to the profound respect entertained by us and all classes of the large community we represent towards your character and public life. " In thus addressing your lordship we are reminded of your former connexion with our borough, when you were one of the members of Parliament for the county and West Riding of Yorkshire—a connexion which, while we look back upon it with satisfaction and pride, we venture to hope is associated with some of your happiest recollections. " As your lordship's former constituents, we have ever regarded ;the events of your subsequent career with warm interest, and it has afforded us high gratification that those noble qualities of mind and character which have won for your lordship such universal esteem have caused you to be selected for the distinguished and responsible position of the representative of her Majesty in Ireland. Your lordship has been endowed not only with exalted rank but also with great talents ; and most thankfully do we acknowledge that all have been combined in your life, not for ambitious ends, but for the elevation of the depressed, the instruction of the ignorant, the amelioration of the suf fering, the discouragement of wrongdoing, the encourage ment of literature and free intstitutions, and for the promo tion of the welfare and happiness of your fellow-country- men; so that your lordship has achieved much towards the reconciliation of class with class, anti the promotion of a good understanding and mutual trust between the high an 3 the low, the rich and the poor, throughout the realm. " Most cordially, therefore, do we unite in presenting to your lordship this tribute of our respect and regard, with an earnest hope that your life may long be spared, in order that you may diffuse the salutary influence of your example, and encourage in others the growth of those virtues which have long adorned the honoured names of Morpeth and Carlisle. " Given under the corporate common seal this 16th day pf October, 1861." The Earl of CARLISLE then rose amid tumultuous cheers, and after they had subsided he said—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, the presentation of this ad dress and the terms in which it has been drawn up are stamped with no common kindness, and they have produced in me a very full return of gratitude and affection. (Cheers.) You have, indeed, not unexpectedly, reminded me of the connexion which it was formerly my good fortune to establish with you, and which it was my pride to maintain through a long series of years and succession of events. It is not here—it is not in Leeds, it is not among many familiar names, and I am happy to say still, some familiar faces, that I should be in any danger of forgetting that I was once, indeed, an unsuccessful, but nine times a successful candidate—(loud and long cheering) —for the representation of the great county of whose feelings and emotions Leeds has ever supplied the most active and ardent pulses. Those were no sluggish times, and they had of course their differences of opinion and their divi- sions in action, to which it is a happiness, I think . that we need not now recur. Indeed, for my part, it seemed to me that a Yorkshire enemy was the next best thing to a Yorkshire friend—(laughter) —and far better than the cold friends of most other places. (Applause.) To denote merely the nature of the struggles in which they were then taking a common part I need only mention the names of my earliest and my latest colleagues. The first was Henry Brougham—(loud cheers)—and the last was Richard Cobden. (Renewed and protracted cheers.) Those names speak for those measures which York shire did mere, I believe, than any part of the empire to raise from the level of party conflicts into national convictions—the abolition of slavery and freedom of trade. (Loud cheers.) It is indeed most soothing and reassuring to every feeling of my heart to find that at so long a distance of time, when the excitement of contest has died away, when the impression even of great measures has be come faint, when my present occupations are remote —when, saddest of all, I miss in their accustomed places the faces and the smiles of several of those who cheered my first appearance and encouraged my early efforts in this crowded scene of public life, such kiadly and generous feelings are still enter tained concerning me. (Cheers.) You have been pleased to make a passing allusion to the high and responsible position which by the favour of my So vereign I hold in the sister kingdom. It so happens that, while during 14 years of my public life I was connected with the representation of Yorkshire, during 12 years I have been (connected with the Government of Ireland. As lam willing to hope that the labours of my Irish office did not materially in terfere with the discharge of my duties to my con stituents, so I am confidentthat thelrish people will not regard me with less favour when they shall learn that besides the honour I hold from the Crown I have not lost the goodwill of my fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of an address is of so purely personal a character that I feel afraid you will think I have talked too much of myself. But the very air around me is peopled with personal memories, and the circumstances of the occasion preclude all topics of political differ ence. But it is, at least, open to me to congratulate this great community, not so much on their obvious advance in material prosperity and external splen dour as on the honoured place which they have long held, which they still hold, which I pray they may ever continue to hold, in every aim and undertak ing which have for their object to assuage human suffering, to promote the physical, the social, the intellectual, and the religious improvement of all classes of the community ; to keep bright the lamp of knowledge, to keep steady the light of freedom, and to raise upon the happiness and virtue of man the fittest and most abiding temple to the glory of God. (Cheers.) The noble Lord was then conducted out of the hall by the Mayor amid the most enthusiastic greetings, which were taken up by an immense number of Volunteers and others who had assem bled outside. The proceedings were followed by a luncheon at the Music-hall, presided over by the Earl of Car lisle, who, in reply to the toast of his health, made an elegant speech, descanting chiefly upon the merits of the institution they had met to inaugu rate, and making an eloquent appeal on its behalf. Lord Stanley presided at the soiree of the Leeds Mechanics Institute and Literary Society in the Town-hall. He met with a very cheering recep tion from a crowded assembly. Lord STAN LEY,wh o was loudly cheered on rising, said that when, about this time last year, he was honoured by an invitation from the memb ers o f th e Leeds Institution to occupy the positi on w hi ch he now held, and which at that time had just been filled by the Prime Minister of England, be hesitated for a while to accept t he invitatio n , honourable to himself as he felt it to be, because he thought it a serious thing for a man, or a set of men, to bring together a thousand or two people to listen to them and incur the most irreparable loss of all,—namely, the loss of time—unless there was reason to think that some good practical result would accrue. Public speaking was only valuable when it led to something being accomplished; and, just as in pri vate life, one of the most dangerous habits of the well meaning man was the formation perpetually of good resolutions, which he takes no steps to carry into practice, so communities were never less likely to make progress in any matters with which they had to deal, than when its members got into the way of repeating to themselves that certain things ought to be done, and took credit for doing them, without applying the only real test, theta personal action. On the question which they had that evening to .•L_ der, that of education, it appeared to him that astalir:2?,4ol a. good deal of talk, and also a good th e tall'un t : 4 l, a "tit NvithJa few notabl e e xce pti ons , 4.t "'" 11 workers, and the workers had been content to labour silently. At Leeds, however, they might congratulate themselves that their educational progress had been something more than a name. When he learned, as he did from reliable authority, that in the sear 1853, only eight years ago, the schools for the chil dren of the labouring classes, excluding all others, numbered 6,500 pupils, while in 1860 it exceeded 10,000, showing that while in 1853, of the entire population, there was one in 26; while in 1860, there was more than one in 19 under instruction, it was no idle compliment to tell them that they had shown that their hearts were in the work. But it was precisely because they had shown such a spirit, because elementary teaching has improved in amount, and he hoped in quality, that the need was increased for institutions such as this. A care ful local inquiry had established the fact that boys left school at ten years of age ; and with that fact it was also stated that youths could earn from ss. to 6s. per week. They were apt to blame parents for taking their children too early from school ; but it was only just to recollect the sacrifice of the earn ings of the children, which was great in comparison with the upper and middle classes of society. And when to that consideration they added the natural wish for independence on the part of youths them selves, their desire to help their parents, or to begin life on their own account—a desire stronger, he be- lieved, in this country than in any other, excepting, perhaps, America—when they considered these things, they had a right to expect that the time was passed when a reaction would take place. Still there was much truth in such statements as that of Mr. Watkins, that you could no more cram in struction, which ought to occupy five or six years, any more than you can eat in a few meals food that is to last for a month. Various opinions had been expressed and would be expressed, about the new educational code, which was now exciting so much sensation. It was not his business to discuss it in that place; but in so far as it tended to confine school teaching to simply elementary matters, in so far without entering into the question of pledges given, or to any personal considerations, it appeared to him a wise and national measure. There was one great defect in school discipline which he should like to see remedied, and that was the excessive length of school hours. The three wants of their educational system were a more re gular attendance, a limitation of the hours of in struction to a moderate amount, and a restriction of teaching to such subjects as were thoroughly un derstood. It had been proved that all parents, ex cepting the pauper and criminal population, were desirous of educating their children. No scheme for the extension of teaching was likely to succeed which aimed at superseding in any considerable degree the exertions of those already in the field. What we wanted was not so much to extend the number as to: utilise the schools we had. It was only by giving the means of carrying on education in later years that we should create a wish for it. A father who had left school at 10 years of age would, in 99 cases out of 100, be very indifferent as to the kind of teaching his child got. To supply this difficulty it was that Mechanics' Institutes were established 35 years ago. A few of them had succeeded, but the majority of them had unhappily failed—why, it was not difficult to see. They mostly began by attempt ing to confine themselves to the teaching of pure science, in which they never could succeed. Then they relied too much upon lectures. They had to contend with political and social prejudices, which did not now exist ; and they arose in days when working men were less well off than at present, and had but little leisure for reading, except so far as concerned their material interests. The public mind was unprepared for them, and some of their advocates enforced exaggerated ideas as to the results that might be expected. Still, he thought these Mechanics' Institutions did good. They kept the question of education before the public ; they helped the first feeble efforts to spread knowledge ; and they materially assisted the earlier promoters of cheap literature. In Leeds they had no occasion to complain. In this 18th year of the existence of their Institution, they could say that by its operations nearly 5,000 persons were directly benefited; that of these there were two iu ttic lu eeipt of weekly wages ; and that in the department of art alone, nearly 3,000 were under instruction, These things had been achieved despite the draw backs connected with an inconvenient building, quite inadquate to accommodate the 1,500 mem bers. He found, that in connection with the Oxford Local Examination, the highest place in the country was occupied by a pupil from Leeds. This success was not an isolated instance ; for, of 68 candidates, 56 passed, or 82 per cent. of the whole; while, taking twelve other places, the average who passed did not exceed 62 per cent. (Applause.) Leeds contributed the second prize man in the competition of those under 18 years old and the first prizeman under 15 years, and it was impossible not to feel that the Mechanics' In stitution must have had some share in producing this result. Assuming the means of teaching to be as stated, and that they were well applied, the question was, what was to come of it all. As to the advantage of elementary teaching nobody raised a question or dispute ; but it was by some ques tioned whether anything beyond this was useful to those in the class of life from which mechanics were generally taken. No man doubted the im portance of bodily health to the poor man— it was capital, it was bread, it was the means and personal independence. There was no more real or tangible benefit that could be conferred upon society than by lessening the rate of mortality or 'reducing the causes of disease. It was estimated that in the United Kingdom people ought not to die at the rate of more than 17 in 1,000 yearly; but they did actually die at the rate c,f 22 or `h3. Thus, in our population of (speak ing roundly) 30 millions,we had 100,000 lives yearly thrown away. What was the cause ? Not over work, not famine, but ignorance on their own part, or that of society, of the physical laws of our being. There were unhealthy and dangerous occupations —trades that could by no means be made other wise than unhealthy ; but the number of lives shortened by actual want was very few, and every doctor would admit that a very great saving of life might be effected, if only three or four things were estimated at their proper value—pureair,pure water, good ventilation, and sufficient drainage. These were things with which it might be said that land lords and local authorities had more to do than the people generally; but if the people understood the value of such things, there was no danger of land lords and local authorities not doing their duty., Then, the habits of those whose occupations were sedentary. Few of us were aware how rapidly in door work extinguished health and strength, and in time life itself. Every great city was fed by the influx of strangers ; few if any of them kept up their own numbers ; and, startling as the statement was, it was true. Men might live in masses without poisoning one another; but to do so they must have clear ideas as to their bodily frame and its require ments ; and that was a kind of knowledge which, whether for rich or poor, could assuredly never be out of place. Work would be done the better, when the workers had taught themselves some thing of the theory of what they did. Life in these ; it wasa manufacturing districts was not uni form lottery would in not joinw hi which t there o common many p r i zes . H e sneer about w or ki ng men ' s ignorance of political ec onomy, because he suspected that class feeling had a great deal more to do with the r o tions between capital and labour than mere ignor ance. He was most glad to see the me;vement in favour of cooperative institutions, which men sharek in the were to become th e i r own employer-, , to profits of the employin g c l ass; N4illth tod the make a sks which that ri k po o e a that c f move ment extending. (Hear.) them selves practically acquaintacquainted v that class had to run. eHe rejoiced .) He e dided to not see sk encouraging it, because he believed that encourage ment was needlds, as discouragement would be useless; It would make its own way. It ap pealed to two of men's strongest feelings—class independence and the l-ave of speculation ; and at the present moment,, when the coming winter must no doubt bring suffering to many, its importance could not be over estimated. He believed that it would restore to these districts n healthier tone on the labour question than had prevailed' 6fzlate years. If this principle of association was to be acted upon, could we say that those who aspired to be not merely living tools with which other men worked, but the managers of their own concerns, ought not to have as much knowledge of what the world was thinking and doing as their means and circumstances would allow. He said then, that for sanitary improve ment, for inventive improvement, for the keeping up of that manufacturing pre-eminence which we had won by hard struggles, and which we must struggle hard not to lose—for the successful work ing out of the great social problem with which the working class was striving to deal—we wanted in stitutions such as this. We wanted them because they supplied a gap in our educational system which could not otherwise be filled up ; we wanted them because he believed that with out their help a great part of the two millions a year which the State and the people jointly were spending on the education of the young would be comparatively thrown away. We did not suppose that they would effect marvels. We did not suppose that they would put down drunkenness or crime; but we thought it would be a help to many, a pleasure to more, and a check to some moral and physical evils, a hindrance out of the way of self-taught men aspiring to rise in life; and so thinking, we could proceed with pleasure to the principal object of their meeting that night, that of paying honour in the presence of a vast concourse, to those who had won distinction in that institution, and who had thereby become pledged to a career of honourable exertion, and of no less honourable ambition. (Loud cheering.) Speeches were subsequently delivered by Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., and Mr. F. Crossley, M.P., and others, and the proceedings did not close until 11 o'clock. ZEE NAVY. Yesterday nearly 100 tons of angle iron, supplied under contract to the Admiralty for the Achilles, 50, was reshipped on board one of the transports at Chatham Dockyard, the entire quantity having been condemned, after survey by the dockyard officials, as not coming up to the quality required to be used in building the vessel. During the past few weeks some hundreds of tons have been rejected at the dockyard, and returned to the firms supply ing them, the whole of that condemned being of an inferior quality. The quantity of plate and angle iron thus rejected accounts for the slow progress made in the construction of the Achilles, the Admi- ralty preferring the works to be retarded rather than that inferior iron should be used and its faulty cha racter discovered when too late. Every precaution is adopted, the vigilance exercised by the autho rities being such that it is almost impossible for in ferior metal to find its way to any part of the ship. As soon as the difficulty in obtaining good iron has been surmounted, several hundred additional work men will be immediately engaged on the Achilles. The President, 51, fitting in the fourth dock at Chatham, to be stationed in the West India Docks, and used as a training ship for the naval reserve, has undergone the most extensive alterations and repairs, all of which are nearly completed. She will be undocked during the next spring tides, when the Rattlesnake, 21, will take her place. . Yesterday afternoon 36 of the large water-tanks were shipped at Chatham dockyard for conveyance to the Bombay, 81, screw steamer, fitting at Folly Point for the steam reserve fleet in the Medway. During the past few weeks an unusually large number of Russian and other foreign vessels have arrived at Chatham dockyard with hemp for that establishment, in order to deliver their cargoes be fore the frosts close the northern Russian ports. Yesterday the Russian bark Juno, after landing a large cargo of hemp at Chatham dockyard, left the port for St. Petersburg, intending to take on board another cargo before the frost sets in, Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, the Victory, now flagship of the Port Admiral at Portsmouth, had her royal trucks deco rated. with laurel wreaths. Rear-Admiral Popoff, of the Imperial Russian Navy, visited the ship during Oa° clay . Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, yesterday paid a visit to Rear-Admiral Popoff on board the Russian corvette Novik. The Pandora, 5, screw, has concluded her trials at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, the mean speed attained being 91 knots. A monument is about to be erected on the espla nade of Southsea-common, Portsmouth, to the memory of the officers and men belonging to her Majesty's ship Chesapeake, who were killed in action or died during the period of her recent com mission in China and India. £lOO has been subscribed by the officers and men of the ship, and to this sum a donation of £2OO has been added by Major- Gen. Sir Hope Grant, K.C.8., to carry out the ob ject in an efficient manner. The Southsea Esplanade has already three monuments erected upon it—one to the memory of those of the army and navy who fell in the Black Sea and Baltic campaigns ; one to the memory of Capt. Sir William Peel, K.C.8., and the officers and men of the Shannon who fell during the Indian mutiny; and the last to the memory of a number of the officers and crew of her Majesty's steamer Trident, who lost their lives by fever while serving on the West Coast of Africa. In reply to communications received from the rival disputants for superiority in the boat-lowering system, as tested on board the new vessel, the Maid of Kent, built for the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, to run between Dover and the Continent, and which was referred to in The Sun of Thursday last, it is stated that the plan selected by that company for the use of all their vessels is Clifford's, as adopted and approved by the Lords of the Admiralty, the Emigration Commissioners, and steam-packet companies in general. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward Stubbs, to the Edgar; Charles 0. P. Forbes, Master com manding the Nereus; George Reid, Master com. manding the Naiad; Charles Crump and John W. Peers, to be Acting Naval Instructors on board the Britannia ; William Rowley (B), acting second class assist.-engineer, additional, of the Russell, for the Hind, confirmed. Dr. Charles A. Anderson, R.N., has been appointed Inspector-General at Malta Hospital. Mr. Brownlow Gray has been ap pointed Advocate of the Admiralty Court at Ber muda. Mr. Jobn R; Aylen was yesterday appointed the Queen's Harbour-master at Devonport Dock , yard. THE ARMI By direction of the Duke of Cambridge, Col. of the Royal Artillery, the three field batteries of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, are in future to be designated as follows:—No. 5 is to become A, No. 7 to become B, and No. 11 to become C. The follow ing stores have been sealed as patterns to govern supplies to the Royal Artillery, viz. :—A sliding garrison carriage for the 100-pounder Armstrong gun when mounted on a casemate , traversing plat form, and a gauge for 24. pounder redhot shot. Re ferring to the circular memorandum from the Horse Guards, dated Aug. 28, 1861, commanding officers are to forward requisitions and size roils, in dupli cate, for the additional pair of trousers and pair of boots granted by that memorandum; the requisi ti:ons due from foreign stations are to be despatched to England without delay. In future the requisitions for the additional articles are to be transmitted with the demands for the annual clothing, In a recent case a number of bridle bits, with tees, reins, and shains attached, were returned to store as unservice able, and it was found on examination a number of the bits would have worn out another pair of reins. In order t o guar d aga i nst the expense o f rep l ac i ng storci-, Which are not in every part unserviceable, it is directed that these articles in future be surveyed separately. When men of the Royal Artillery are transferred from one brigade to another, or to the depot, commanding officers are requested to hand over, with the usual transfer documents, the trans fer statement of savings bank account, much incon venience having been experienced in consequence of these statements being withheld until specially i called fez', or uz ttil some time After the men have TLIS SUN, (LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1861. been transferred. In reference to the War-office circular, No. 267, dated the 12th of June, 1858, ad dressed to commanding Royal Engineers at home stations, officers commanding Royal Artillery at home are directed, in forwarding future requisitions for works and repairs proposed to be provided for in the annual fortifications estimate, to show thereon the relative importance of the various services, in order that they may receive an appropriate share of attention. The General Commanding-in-Chief, having ap proved the instructions contained in the " Manual of Field Artillery Exercise," desires that they may be strictly adhered to throughout the service, taking effect from the Ist of Oct., 1561. He also directs that every officer of the Royal Artillery shall pro vide himself with a copy of the work in question. A newly-invented chromatic bugle and trumpet, combined in one instrument, the invention and patent of Trumpet and Bugle Majors James Law son and Henry Carter, Royal Artillery, was yester day tested at Woolwich, in the presence of Major- Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, Commandant, Col. Bing ham, Assistant-Adjutant-General, Brigade-Major Milward, and other officers of the Royal Artillery. The double instrument, which has the appearance of an ordinary bugle, is made of bell-metal, brass, and copper, and is exceedingly light. To vary the tone from that of the trumpet to the bugle simply requires the turning of a small four-way tap, which shuts off the tubes of the trumpet. The invention is highly approved, and will be adopted by the , service. The following memorandum was yesterday issued in garrison orders at Woolwich :—" The Major- General has much pleasure in calling the attention of the garrison to the gallant conduct of Gunner Gates, ot No. 10 battery,Depot Brigade,on Saturday last, in saving the son of an officer of the Military Train from drowning in the Repository pond. The prompt and decisive conduct of Gunner Gates, and his disregard of personal danger on this occa sion, are deserving of the highest commendation." It was yesterday announced at Woolwich that, pursuant to an Admiralty Board order, the Deputy- Adjutant-General of Royal Marines has issued in structions to the effect that the detachments of the corps embarked in the guardehips of the steam re serve shall henceforth be relieved annually. Major-George Bartley, who died on the 14th inst. at Bath, served in the Corunna campaign, and sub sequently in the Peninsula, from March 11 to the end of the war. He was engaged at Almarez, Alba de Tormes, Baighar, Vittoria, Pyrenees, and Pam peluna. He had received in recognition of his ser vices the war medal and two clasps. The following promotions and appointments were yesterday announced at Woolwich, dated Royal Marine-office, the 18th inst., in consequence of the removal of Lieut. Hesketh from the list of officers : —First Lieut. Francis Bacon, of the Chatham divi sion, is appointed to the Artillery division ; Second Lieut. E. J. Westby, of the Woolwich division, is appointed First Lieut. at the same division. POLICE INIELLE4ENCE, Oct. 21. ~.,._~.....y..-~------- MANSION-HOUSE.—George Baker, a journey man gun-maker, who was brought before Mr. Alderman Sidney a few days since upon a warrant charging him with absconding from his employ.. ment without having fulfilled a contract entered into by him with Mrs. Yeoman, the proprietress of a gun-manufactory in !the Minories, appeared in answer to his recognisances to hear the decision of the Bench. The whole of the facts were given in our report of the last examination, when, it will be remem bered, the prosecutor, Mr. James Yeomans, stated that he made an engagement with the prisoner on behalf of his mother, Mrs. Yeomans, in May last, when it was agreed that the prisoner should have as much work as he could do, and have 20s. in advance to enable him to purchase some tools, and if he wanted any further advance in reason he was to have it, to be paid back at the rate of 72 per cent. upon his weekly wages. On Saturday week last the prisoner absconded from his work without giving Mr. Yeoman any notice, owing Mr. Yeoman £5 ss. 6d. which had been advanced to him, and was appre hended in Birmingham. On that occasion, Mr. Wontner, who appeared for the defence, contended that the agreement was net a legal one, inasmuch as in the Statute of Frauds it provided that any agreement not terminable within a twelvemonth must be a written agreement, and, in the case in question, it naa extenaca uonsia....bly over the 19 months. Mr. Alderman Sidney said he felt some doubt on the subject, and adjourned the case that he might consult the Lord Mayor upon the subject, taking the prisoner's own recognisance in £lO for his re appearance. Mr. Wontner again attended on behalf of the defendant. The case led to considerable discussion upon the technical points of law. The Lord Mayor said it was quite clear that a contract had been entered into between the parties and it was contended on the one side that the money was to be advanced upon condition that the de fendant should work it out, and the question was, whether the defendant got the advance with the idea that he was to work it out. Mr. Wontner said it was to be paid by so much a week, and the prosecutor had not done so. If be had deducted the money from week to week, accorit ing to the contract, there would be no debt now. Mr. Alderman Sidney said he entertained con siderable doubt as to the legality of the contract, and he thought it was a very reasonable doubt ; but since he had conferred with the Lord Mayor upon the subject that doubt had been removed. The first contract was for an advance of 20 5., but sinethat fresh advances had been made from time to tins:, which was a resuscitation of the contract. Mr. Goodman said Mr. Yeoman did not wish to press the charge, if the defendant would return to his work. Mr. Wontner said his client would go back and pay the debt. The Lord Mayor said he must not pay the debt, he must work it out according to the contract. Mr. Wontner contended that as the money had not been stopped regularly, it was all due, and the last week the defendant worked Mr. Yeoman paid him nothing. Mr. Yeoman said he would be satisfied if the defendant worked it out, not otherwise. His Lordship said his decision must be that if the defendant did not resume his work according to the contract, he must sentence him to 14 days' im prisonment. Mr. Goodman then suggested that the case should again be adjourned for a week to see if the parties could not come to some amicable arrangement. This course was agreed to, the defendant again being bound over in his own recognisances in £lO. The Lord Mayor gave the defendant to under stand that if he did not make an arrangement to carry out the contract, and Mr. Yeoman pressed the charge, he should have to sentence him to 14 days. Wm. Spearing, a labouring man, 76 years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with assaulting Anne Davis. The prisoner, it appeared, was stepfather to the complainant, who lived with him and her mother in Petticoat-lane. On Saturday the prisoner lighted a fire, and the complainant let it go out, whereupon the prisoner, after calling her some vile names, caught her by the hair of her head and threw her down. Her mother interfered, and he assaulted her. Complainant went between them, and hap pened to fall down when prisoner gave ' .1 1 'ser a vio lent kick on her chin, cutting it severely. The g;:l's chin was most fearfully cut, and it appeared that she had some difficulty in giving her evidence. Two witnesses swore to seeing the prisoner drag her down by her hair, and one saw him kick her. The prisoner called God to witness that he never did such a thing. He said she was a very bad girl, and had assaulted him, and he had only acted in his own defence. The Lord Mayor said it was a most brutal case, and sentenced him to 21 days' imprisonment. BOW-STREET.—SINGULAR DISPUTE ABOUT A BILL OF SALE.—Roger Huggins, who was stated to be a foreigner, but who spoke English fluently and well, was brought up on remand charged with stealing a quantity of clothing and other property, belonging to Vital Weldekins, a Belgian, win de scribed himself as an artist. The prisoner was given into custody on Satur day, when he was taken in the first instance to the Marlborough-street Police-court. It was then discovered that the charge lay in the Bow-street district, upon which the prisoner was removed to this court, where he arrived shortly before the close of the sitting. Evidence sufficient to justify a remand was then taken, and the case was ad journed till this day (Monday.) The prisoner urgently protested against the remand, declaring that he had at home letters which he could produce at an hour's notice, and which would prove that he had the prosecutor's authority for disposing of the property. But it being then nearly five o'clock, and the magistrate just on the point of leaving the bench, it was impossible to enter into this question at . that time. The prisoner then begged to be ad mitted to ; but the same difficulty presented itself, that before he could send for bail and they could attend, the court would be closed and the magistrate and officials would be gone away. The magistrate (Mr. Currie) then observed that it was out of his power to do otherwise than remand the prisoner, who was clearly contradicted by the sworn testimony of the prosecutor. If any wrong was done to the defendant he could bring an action against the prosecutor for false imprisonment. The prisoner was then remanded. On the present oecasion Mr. Lewis, of Marl borough-street, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, for the defendant. The prosecutor, being unable to speak English, Mr. Albert, the interpreter of the Marlborough , street police-court, attended to translate his evi- dente. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case, said he did not know what defence the prisoner could have to offer, unless the production of a bill of sale. If such a document were put in evidence, he should ask the magistrate to impound it. The prosecutor, M. Vital Weldekins was then sworn. He deposed in French I live at 2, King street, Holborn, and am an artist. I have known the prisoner about four years. In Sept. last I occu pied apartments at 2, King street, Holborn, where I had some furniture and wearing apparel. I left England on the 4th September, having on the Ist or 2d informed the prisoner of my intention to leave on that day. He asked me what I was going to do with my furniture. I said I would lock every thing up and take the keys with me to Brussels. He recommended me not to do so, saying that he would undertake the care of my furniture and everything I might leave in the apartments, and that on my return I should find everything as I had left it. For that purpose I was to sign two printed papers, so that the landlord might not hin der him from having access to the apartments. He observed that unless I did that, if the landlord's goods should be distrained upon, mine also might be seized, and I should have " no right to say any thing about it." He also remarked, " You do not know what happens in England every day." In duced by his representations I signed two papers which I did not read. They were in English, which language I do not understand at all. I gave no authority to the prisoner to remove any article whatever of my property from my apartments. I locked the boxes and took the keys with me and kept them in my possession till my return on Thursday last, when I missed a great portion of my property. My boxes were open and nearly empty. The prisoner was with me. I had met him in the street, and he had given me the keys and accom panied me to the rooms. I asked him what had be come of the furniture, &c., which I missed. Ho re plied, " Oh, make your mind easy about it, there is nothing lost." I then searched for the rest of my things, and when I found so large a quantity missing, I called him a thief. He said, " Don't speak so loud—don't speak so loud, the people of the house might hear you, and consider into what a position you might throw me. Don't be afraid, all will be returned to you, and you shall even have double the value of what I have made use of." My answer to this was, that we only wanted what was ours, and no more. He said, " Don't let us quarrel about it." I afterwards said I wanted to see the pawnbroker's tickets, to see if it was true. He said he had not got them about him, they were at his lodgings at Islington. At a quarter past 8 the next morning I went to his lodgings to look for him, and found him in bed. He seemed much displeased at my calling, and asked me to go to a coffee-house in the neighbourhood to wait for him. I refused to do so, and said I would wait there. I waited in a room down stairs for an hour and a half, and then he came down and we went together that he might deliver me the tickets, as he now said he had made a mistake, they were not at his lodgings, but in the care of his solicitor or agent. After going about with him for three hours I again demanded the tickets. We then went to a coffee-house, where he received two parcels, which he had left there, and one of which contained 41 duplicates. He gave me the 41 duplicates, saying, " These are your things." I made a list of the duplicates at his dictation to see that nothing was wanting. The entire property taken from my rooms is about 2,500 f., or about £lOO. When I left England I did not owe the prisoner anything ; on the contrary, he asked me to lend him some money, and I advanced him about £lO or £l2. Nor did I owe him anything at the time I signed the documents. I gave him in custody on Saturday about 3 o'clock. Cross-examined by Mr. Abrams—l never owed the prisoner, and never had a disputed account with him. On Saturday I went to a solicitor's office,not to settle a disputed account, but for the purpose, he said, of giving back the papers which I had signed. Did not admit in the prisoner's presence at the at torney's office, that I owed 11,000 fr. I said the amount for which the goods were pledged amounted to I,loofr. or £44. I did not know till Thursday that any of my property was pledged. I did not during my absence write to him with respect to pledging furniture, but I did with reference to other matters. Amongst the tickets now produced are some to the amount of £l4, relating to property which the prisoner had previously pledged. Before leaving I told the landlord I had left the goods in the prisoner's charge till my return; not that I had sold them to the prisoner, or that I had given up the apartments to him, except for the period of my absence. During my absence I did not pay the rent myself, but gave the money to the prisoner to pay it. I swear I did not know the contents of the docu ment I signed. The prisoner's milkman and a lodger of the milkman's were present at the time it was signed • my landlord was not. I did not tell my landlord had sold my goods. I never gave him leave to sell my things. Re-examined—The £l4 worth of goods were pledged before I left England. The £44 worth which he has pledged include the £l4 ; but I allowed him to pledge those things in order to assist him, as he wanted money at the time. Madame Rosalie Weldekins, the wife of the pro secutor, deposed that she came home with her hus band on Thursday last. She corroborated her hus band's evidence, and added that the prisoner said he had put the things away to redeem some docu ments, but he would pay everything back two-fold, as he would soon be rich (" je vais cite riche"). He also said that the paper which had been signed by tit, prosecutor was an accommodation paper, and false. Mr. Lewis then applied for a remand, Mr. Abrams hoped the prisoner would be ad mitted to bail. Mr. Lewis would leave that matter to the magis trate, but there was a document in the hands of Mr. Abrams which ho should call on that gentleman to produce, Mr. Abrams—But perhaps I may think proper to reserve it till I have heard the whole of your case. The police have taken some papers now before 3 .4 u, one of which ilia; throw a light on the case. Corrie—l think these papers ought to be given ups to the prisoner. Mr. Lewis—We do not know what they are. Let the officer keep them till to-rnorrov. Mr. Corrie—lf a.accept bail it must be to a heavy amount. I must have two sureties of £lOO each. The Prisoner —Very well, Sir. AN AFFECTIONATE PAREtn.-A dissipated-look ing woman, named Johanna Smith, was charged with assaulting her son, Thomas Smith, one of the shoeblacks of the Ragged School Society. Patrick Connor—l am an inspector of the Ragged School Shoeblack Brigade. This morning as the boys were assembled at the station in Ship-yard to get their boxes, in order to go out to their day's work, the prisoner came there and created a great disturbance, owing to which a great crowd collected. As her son left the station with the box on his head she knocked it off with her fist, and the blacking was spilt on the ground. The blacking was t2ae pro perty of the society, and worth is. She was drunk. Mr. Corrie—What do you say to annoying your son in this way when he is getting his living ? The Prisoner—Your worship, I wanted to go down to Epsom for a holiday, and I went to ask him for Gd. to take me there; but just because I had a " drop taken" he would not give it to me. So I says, a Then I will give you a holiday, for instead of me aoi 8 ,„. to Epsom I will stop and annoy you." So , of , course, 1 knocked his box off his head to keep him from going to work. He is a very good boy, your worship, an d be allows me 2s. a week out of what he earns. Mr. Corrie—Yes, and you must be a very wicked woman to hinder him from eainihg his money. The Prisoner—Your worship, be would not give me the Gd. I wanted, so of course I tiLought I'd an noy him. Mr. Corrie—l'll fine you 55., or commit you for five days. The Prisoner—My son will pay that for me. Mr. Corrie—No, he won't. Mere, Thomas Smith, you are not to pay the fine for her, mind, If she can't pay it herself she is to go to prison. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —THE ALLEGED DESPERATE ASSAULT AT THE ALHAMBRA.-111r. G. Wyld, j un., Mr. James Bartleman, Mr. George Butcher, Mr. C. Laforest, and Mrs. Elizabeth Hart, all employed in various situations at the Alhambra, Leicester-square, appeared before Mr. Beadon, to answer the complaint of Mr. Henry Hart Davis, for an alleged combined and murderous assault. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Lewis, Greatf Marlborough-street, was for four of the def etca Metcalfe for the complainant. The professional gentlemen retired together into the magistrate's room, an arrangement having been previously arrived at, and after. a few minutes' con sultation came again into court. Mr. Sleigh, addressing Mr. Beadon, said—Sir, in this matter I have something to say which I think will spare any further investii ation into the charge before you. The defendants, as you will no doubt recollect, were charged tivitl L an assault on Mr. Davis, and after having hilt 1 communication with my learned friend Mr. Mete a lfe, lam authorised by all the defendants to say the y sincerely regret they should have given way to su 3 h an ebullition of tem per on account of any matte r c which Mr. Davis had a right to complain of. Th a y were sorry that any thing unfriendly should b .ve taken place, and in perfect sincer3ty and good f kith. they desire to apolo gise for what has occurred. lam instructed to say that Mr. Wyld, the prop le tor of the Alhambra, has unlimited confidence in the defendants. Th e affray occurred in cons equ atm?, of something believed to have been said by Mr. Davis. The defendants, in good faith, retract avyt hing they might have said against Mr. Davis; ant t I hope that my learned friend, Mr. Metcalfe, oft the part of Mr. Davis, will, with equal good faith, withdraw any th'ng he may have said against them. I attend for four of the d e fendants, Messrs. Wyld, Butcher. and Bartleman, and Mrs. Hart ; and my friend Mr. Ocridge for t. icy other defendant. He will no doubt concur in wb .t I have said, and you will, I trust, feel that this LS' a happy termination to a case that ought neve r to have come to this court. Mr. 0 rridge, for Mr. Lai 'orest, said all that Mr. Sleigh had alleged on beha' Lf of his clients applied to the party for whom he appeared. His client, who felt that he laboured u ender an unjust imputa tion, was, in a moment of e. s citement, betrayed into conduct which he now regr , a tted, and for which he now tendered an apology to, Mr. Davis. Mr. Metcalfe, who spoke very indistinctly, was understood to say that the a pology now made was quite satisfactory to Mr. D t ivis. Mr. Wyld, sen., had interposed, and, acting as a friend to both par ties, had accommodated rnt i tters in a way satisfac tory to both sides. Of coui,t3e there was an end to the proceedings. Mr. Sleigh—Although m learned friend has not referred to one point, to the personal matters against the defendants, I to lee it for granted that, on behalf of his client, My.. Davis, he withdraws them ? Mr. Metcalfe—Oh, eertal nly ; the imputations are quite withdrawn. Mr. Beadon—Then I dim iss the complaint, and I heartily wish that all such. squabbles had such an amicable end. SPORTING INT ELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'- -YESTERDAY. The important settling upon the past week's racing at Newmarket, as was anticipated, ; attracted a large attendance of subscribers, among whom we noticed many of the prin cipal members of the "upper ten thousand;" who, although fortune favoured the bookmakers', evinced on this occasion a commendable spirit of punctuali, ty in meeting their engage ments, which was justly apprecit kted by all interested. The business of paying and receivinf ; occupied the attention of the majority present until a late hour, when speculation for the Cambridgeshire was occasionally mentioned, but no , thing was done, beyond a disposition to follow Mr. Beville's great success by supporting Ilertham Lass, but layers were shy, and 0 to 2 we imagine would represent her price. Half a point more would have found a host of supporters. The Roo was nominally at 11 to 1, and Asteroid at 12 to 1 was occasionally backed. The only other movement connected with the afternoon's performances, so far as the Cambridge shire is concerned, was the retrogression of Camerino to 25 to 1 offered, and the retirement of Doefoot from 30 to 1, frequently taken at the opening of the rooms, to 10 points more at the close, which was freely advanced by those who, it appeared, had received an intimation of Colonel Towne • lay's filly having met with an accident. The transactions upon the other animals enumerated in our "price current" must be taken as nominal ; in fact, with the exception of an eagerness to be on " the favourite," we noticed no dis position to invest upon anything in the race.

There is but little doing on the Cambridgeshire. The favourite at one time was rather shaky, as 5 to 1 was very frPPly offered. Camerino's price was 25 to 1 (taken and offered), and Doefoot receded to 50 to 1 (offered). The Roe and Asteroid maintain their former positions. The Wizard, about whom on Saturday 1,000 to 10 was asked for, was supported to-day down to 40 to 1, but that price was also offered, and towards the finish 40 to 1 was asked for against either Donner and Blitz or Rameses, but the offers stopped at 33 to 1. For the Roxburgh Handicap Doofoot appeared likely to be a favourite, but offers against her were so freely made that it is hardly probable she will put in an appear ance.

The inclosed pedestrian ground at Old Brompton was crowded on Monday afternoon with a vast assemblage of spectators, who mustered to witness the four miles running match between Deerfoot, the Seneca Indian, and W. Jones, of Islington, for a stake of £5O. The successes of Deerfoot in this country fully entitle him to the pride of place which he seems destined to hold for some time to come. W. Jones, who has been before the public these two years, has run several times during the present year with various success. From the fact of Jones being a good deal faster than the old American Deer in his trials, and also that the first four miles in his late race with Barker were completed in 20 minutes 23 seconds, which is 39 seconds less than Deerfoot's time on Monday week, great interest was excited upon this event, on the result of which large sums of money were speculated at odds in favour of Deerfoot, as much as 2to 1 being laid in some instances. At 20 minutes past four the men made their appearance on the ground, Deerfoot being attended by C. Mower, and Jones by J. Cummins. The usual "Are you ready ?" followed im mediately by the word " Go," having been given, they started away at a clipping pace, the Indian at once dash ing to the fore and cutting out the running at a fine pace, but on going round the bottom turn Jones wrested the lead from him, but did not hold it long, for at the finish of the first lap Deerfoot was again in the front, lead ing by barely a yard. In this position they raced round the next lap, at the finish of which they were strictly level. During the next round the Redskin again got the lead, and maintained it during the sth and 6th laps. Cuuunins now called on Jones to take the lead, which, on rounding for the ith time, he held by three yards, and held it till nearly the 9th lap, when they passed and repassed each other twice, Deerfoot again getting a slight lead, and so they continued racing to the 15th lap, each alternately having a slight lead, and making the pace as severe as he could, in order to cut down the other. At the end of the 15th lap Jones, who was barely a yard in the rear, fell ex hausted in the arms of Mr. Roberts, leaving the Indian to run the last rituirter of a mile by himself, which ho did at slightly diminished speed, doing the entire distance in 20 minutes 10 seconds.

At the general quarter sessions for the Lindsey division of the county of Lincoln, held on Friday last at Kirton-in-Lindsey, a young woman, 24 or 25 years of age, was charged with obtaining nine bottles of medicine and nine packages of powders from Dr. Mackinder, of Gainsborough, by means of false pretences. About a fortnight ago the young woman, whose parents (poor labouring people) live at Dunholme, near Lincoln, went over to Gains borough on a visit to a poor woman, said to be her aunt, and there she remained a day or two, and then took up her quarters at a low part of the town. Very soon after her arrival, it appears, she com menced a system of hoaxing and carried it on with great perseverance and much success fir several days. Her orders were given on every hand with the most reckless profusion, the articles ordered embracing everything necessary for the complete furnishing of a large house. The tale she told the tradespeople was to the effect that she had taken a house of very large dimensions, and was having it fitted up in first-rate style, preparatory to her en tering into the married state with a gentleman of great wealth named Richardson. The happy event, it was represented, was to come off on an early day. Of a cabinetmaker named Hind she ordered articles to the value of £24 16s. 3d. To another cabinet maker named Benson she gave an even still more extensiv order, his bill amounting to £34 15s. 6d. This account was made out to Mr. Geo. Richardson. She patronised drapers to a large extent, goods being ordered of Mr. Platt to the amount of £25; of Mr. Moore to the amount of £l2 ; of Messrs. Emerson, Cook, and Co., to the value of £2O; and others in the same proportion. The articles em braced silk and satin dresses and other costly goods. The boot and shoemakers came in for a share of the good fortune, boots of peculiar shapes being ordered of Mr. Dowell, Mr. Hands, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Hindmarch, &c. An earthenware dealer named Chatterton received a large order. Of a fruiterer named Fish she ordered a couple of bride cakes. She went to a register office and represented that she wanted a servant of modest and engaging demeanour, irreproachable character, and good abi lities ; and after some difficulty, a girl was got who satisfied her. Of an ironmonger, named Parker, she obtained on one day goods to the amount of £l9 Bs. 11d., and on another day £1 Hs. 6d. worth. The latter articles, which she took away with her without paying for, were two brooches, an eye-glass, a silver thimble, two watch keys, a set of studs, two rings, and a purse. In each of the above in stances she stated that the goods were to be sent down to her new house on a certain day. The day before the period fixed, however, Parker took the precaution to make sundry inquiries and the result was the detection of a gigantic imposition. She was then taken into custody, and all the money she was found to possess was one penny. On Thursday laat she was charged before the magis trates, at Gainsborough, with obtaining the goods from Parker, the ironmonger, but the case failed, and she was then indicted for obtaining the medi cine and powders from Dr: Mackinder, on which charge she was committed for trial. She had re presented to the doctor that she had lived six years with a Mr. Tatam, of Harpswell, and was now sent by them for advice and medicine. Sbe was to be cured, she said, if it were possible, and Mrs. Tatam did not care about the expense. Mr. Tatam swore that he had never seen the young woman before that day, and had never given her, nor had his wife, any authority to obtain the medicines in question. It further appeared that she bad had, on the same false pretences, four teeth extracted. She had like wise gone to Mr. Fairchild, surgeon, and got other medicine. It was shown that she was an entire stranger in the town, although she had lived as servant to some farmers in the neighbourhood. She was found guilty. A question was raised as to her sanity, but no direct evidence was given on the matter, and she was sentenced to two months' hard labour. We (Manchester Guardian) have been in formed that the young woman has been carrying on a similar career, although not quite to the same extent, in several other towns in Lincolnshire.
