The London, Chatham, and Dover are also g.ring to have a little off•shoot in the same direction. By this means these two railways will comninnicite with an odd-looking line, like a noose, called the Tooting, Wimbledon, and Merton Extension, which, on the west, has also a connection with the South Western. Several short branches serve to form a union between the North Kent and the Crystal Palace and South London Railway.—Railway News. humble trade of mason, as he had been told by builders, they could gat men who worked 30 per cent, cheaper than in England, because the Scotch mason was a better edu cated man, and gave the stroke to his hammer with mere attention, vigour, and success. (Applause,) He knew how deeply engraved in the English character was the op posite impression; it was evinced in the distinction which the Englishman commonly drew between the theoretical and practical man. Now, of course, a fine theory was a waste of time, but theory combined with practice gave to practice its direction, its intensity, and its success, There was an instance from this school at the present moment. A young man having distinguished himself as a scholar, the first feeling of his father, one of the most extensive and most intelligent farmers, was, that he should not be a farmer. He (Lord Harrowby) on the contrary, hoped he would stay and be a farmer, and show his neighbours that a man was not the worse farmer for having-a cultivated mind. They found in Scotland that educated men could drive the plough and handle the shovel, and do all kinds of practical work, as well or more successfully than in this country, and those who had more intelligence than their neighbours rose to high positions in Church and State, Half India indeed had been governed by the sons of Scottish farmers. Ho wished they could inspire the middle class with something of this respect for learning. It was good to be a practical people; but we might lose sight of the great advantage of having a developed understanding, and a leading principle which should guide all our practical concerns. (Applause.) The prizes were then distributed by the noble chairman. Afterwards one or two complimentary resolutions, includ ing a vote of thanks io the Earl of Harrowby, were moved by Lord Redesdale, Viscount Sandon, &c., and the meeting then dispersed. The proceedings of the day were brought to a close by a public luncheon, at which the Rev. C. E. Kennaway, vicar of Campden, presided. have been in request ; middle and lower sorts dull, and easier to buy. Hemps have been very quiet, and have fallen from £2 to £3 per ton. The spinners continue to be full of orders, and heavier numbers of lino yarns have been stiffer in price. Tow yarns remain as before. The demand for threads is steady, There is a very brisk demand for all de scriptions of iron, and the makers are well supplied with orders. The lock-out is not yet at an end, but a consider able addition has been made to the number of men at work, and it is hoped that a full resumption of work is not far off. A number of foreign workmen are now being employed here. When the existing differences between roasters and men are arranged, there is a good prospect of the iron trade in Leeds. The machine makers and engineer tool trades are very busy. The makers of locomotive and rail way plant are fully employed. The cut-nail trade is good. There has been a steady demand for nearly all descriptions of leather. For sole purposes the principal inquiry has been for butts and bends of thick substance, the supply of which is short of the requirements of the trade. Light have con tinued in fair request. Dressing leather of light average has met with ready sale, and calf skins, being scarce, have sold on arrival at advanced rates. For offal of all kinds there has been an active demand, and higher rates have been obtained. During the past month the continental rape crop has been secured, the quantity being very considerably less than last year, and the quality only an average one. The bulk has passed into second hands, and the lowest price has probably been seen. The English crop is a failure. There is not much doing in rape oil, owing to the season of the year ; prices, however, are well maintained, The unusually dry season has caused a most unprecedented demand for linseed, which is eagerly bought up at full rates to meet the great sale of linseed eakes,which have considerably advanced in value; all the mills are actively employed. Olive oils maintain their value, and a fair business has been trans acted, The shoe trade continues good, and all hands are well employed. In the paper trade there is no material change; it is, however, fully as good as it has been lately. There has been a good supply of cattle, which the scarcity of fodder has tended to increase. Number shown (five markets)—Cattle, 2,472; sheep, 14,535. The supplies of new wheat have been large, and there have been some fluc tuations in price, but there is at the close but little change. Barley is in fair demand and firm, Oats are scarce, and prices are about Id per stone dearer, Beans are selling at full rates. The Horrible Murder in Staffordshire. T. C. SHARP, Managing Director.

The thrashing raachine is at work in several districts, and farmers state they are now enabled to give a tolerably correct estimate of the value of the harvest. Wheat is a full average in quan tity, and of excellent quality, but the bulk of the straw is small. Such variation as there is in the barley crop has not been known for 30 or 40 years. There are fields of upwards of 45 imperial bushels per acre, and others in the same neighbourhood of hardly 10. The insects have done much damage, and the crop will be below :a good average. The oat crop on thin soils is light and miserably poor in quality, but on good oat soils in condition it is very satisfactory. Altogether, the crop will show a deficiency. Potatoes are very abundant, and of first•rate quality; scarcely any dis ease. Mangolds, Swede and common turnips must prove very light crops, under the most favourable circumstances ; but, like the pastures, they have been vastly improved by the frequent showers of rain which have fallen during the past fortnight. Fat stock very scarce. Now ready, PRIZE POEMS receiving the 100 Guineas offered in the advertisements, "HO ! FOR A SHAH SPEARE," and awarded by Messrs. Webster, J.

The New London Railways. ~teven new bridges across the river were projected, but only one has been approved, and it is quite out the town, being situated in the neighbourhood of Kew. The only new terminus authorised is that of the Great Eastern, at Finsbury-circus—but the Midland and Great Northern get access by new branches to the Metropolitan and then to the heart of London, while the North Western and Charing cross line connects the North Western with the large depot at the latter spot. The Great Western is, as our readers are aware, already in direct communication with the Metropoli tan. Thus we have in the central part of the metropolis four great termini, to one or other, or in some owlet snore than ono, of which all the railway's have access—Charing cross, Cannon-street, Liverpeolestreet and Finsbury-circus, The next thing required is to connect the various systems —and this is accomplished by the following lines= Metro politan (Extension to Trinity - square),Metropolitan District and Grand Union, Metropolitan (Notting -hill and Bromp ton Extension), and a short line sanctioned by the Addi tional Powers Bill of the same company. These lines form a continuous railway,which, starting from Moorfields (Fore street), runs eastward towards the Minories,where, curving round, it proceeds by Trinity-square, Eastcheap, Cannon. street, to the Thames Embankment, which it traverses as far as Westminster-bridge. Then its course lies by the north side of the Abbey, Victoria-street, close to Victoria station, Sloane-square,and South Kensington to Notting-hill, where it turns once more to the east, in order tojoin at Lisson-street, Edgware-road, the present line of the Metropolitan, which completes the circuit back again to Moorfields. This inner circle is connected by a branch with an outer el) cle,of which the West London Junction forms an important part. The importance of this series of communications can hardly be over -rated. The Great Western and Great Eastern are di rectly united ; so are the North Western and Month t astern, the Great Northern, and the London, Chatham, and Dover. The Midland also hasaccess to the last named comprehensive system, and by means of the Metropolitan both the Midland and the Great Northern can get to the South Eastern at Cannon.street. The Metropolitan and St, J'ohß's-wood line runs between the Finchley-road station of the Hamp stead and City junction and the Baker -street station of the Metropolitan; while the rinchley, Willesden, and Acton connects the new Midland with the Great Western and South Western. The Great Eastern having got admission to tho interior of the metropolis, is laying itself out largely for suburban traffic, to accommodate which it has obtained powers for a line running from Liverpool-street parallel with the present main line as far as Cambridge-road, then, turning due north, to Hackney, where it branches into two parts, one passing by Stamford-hill to Tottenham and Ep ping, and the other going through Clapton to Walthamstow, where it meets another branch from a little above Stratford, and the two run north in one line to Woodford. A short link places Alexandra Park in connection with the Edg ware, Highgate, and London Railway. Coming to the Surrey side of London, we find the South Western, whit& will obtain access to the City side of the river by the aid (A . the South, Eastern Eztensiog tc Cenuon-street, is placiz ii On Tuesday last there was; public distribution of prizes at the Grammar School at Chipping Campden, an old foun dation recently restored, and, by public subscription, pro. vided with newly-erected and admirably complete school buildings. The prize-giving was preceded by a service in the parish church, at which an excellent and thoroughly practical ser mon was preached by the Yen. J. Sandford, 8.D., Archdea-. con of Coventry. The prizes were distributed in the school room, the chair being taken by the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby, K.G. The Earl of IlAnnownr, after alluding in eulogistic terms to the Sermon of Archdeacon Sandford, who had travelled over the whole field so exhaustively as to leave little for him to say, remarked that it was generally admitted at the pre sent day that sufficient attention had not been paid to the education of the great middle class of the country. Happily, it was difficult to define any class in this land strictly, for there were no hard lines of separation, but, like the colours in the rainho w, they shaded gradually into each other; but the middle class was most clearly defined as the intermediate link between that which was undoubtedly the highest in social position and that which was the lowest, and between which an undoubted separation existed. It certainly was a class that was not intended to be neglected at the time of the Re formation, for as soon as that great event took place it was one of the very first objects of the leading minds in the Church, and, though only partially, he was sorry to say of those in the State, to make some provision for the education of the middle class, in order that men might constantly be rising out of that class to serve God both in Church and State. But, unhappily. that noble project did not meet in this country with the same success as in a sister country, and under other auspices. Our great Archbishop Creamer had noble projects of attaching to all our cathedrals eminent seminaries of instruction, comprisi ng every branch of edu cation which at that moment was known; but unfortunately, through various causes, the cathedral schools had dwindled in most cases to nothing, though within the last few years there had been attempts to revive them, which he hoped might prove successful. What, however, was not afforded by the State was effected to a great extent by individuals. It seemed to have been the first thought of men, especially those who had sprung from the middle class themselves, to provide for others the advantages which they had not always enjoyed themselves, and in this spirit the leading merchants or tradesmen had laid the basis of foundations which had since acquired a world-wide reputation. To whom did we owe the great foundation of the Charter-house ? To Thomas Sutton, a worthy tradesman in London. To whom did we owe the foundation of Harrow ? To John Lyon, a yeoman. And so might one go all over the country, and find in most of our ancient towns establishments which owed their existence to the desire of men of the middle class, who had acquired wealth, to offer the means of instruction to those who, like themselves, might rise to higher station. But these in process of time had fallen into that decay which affected all human things, except there was from time to time a renovation. He hoped the time of renovation had now arrived, and that these old grammar schools would be come the foundation of that education of the middle class which we all desired to see. (Applause.) As the archdeacon had well observed, it was a wholesome fashion in England, when we wanted any good thing, to see if we could not attach it to some old one. He for one should be very sorry if they were to attempt that which prevailed so much in foreign countries, and make the education of the middle class part of a Government system. Such system, of course, had the advantage of being spread equably over the whole face of the country, and of attaining a certain mechanical corn.. pleteness of result which was often wanting in our looser and more irregular proceedings; but, on the other hand, by a Government system the mind of the country was cabined, cribbed, confined, and lost all that energetic self-reliance, which was, atter all, the source of prosperity to a nation, as it was of success to the individual. (Applause.) As many of them might be aware, a royal commission was about to issue to look into this question, and the commissioners would no doubt be sending round queries to all the old grammar schools, and make all the inquiries they could of private schools, with the view of ascertaining what the deficiency was, and of suggesting some remedy. His hope was that before any new remedy was attempted they would try to throw health and vigour into our old grammar schools. He trusted we should find within a reasonable distance of every district some old foundation which, with proper oare and assistance, might be so revived as to supply the wants of each neighbourhood. It might be asked, why should they be so anxious to take up the old grammar schools? Well, in the first place, becaus e th e y were o ld , an d i t was a feeling deeply planted in the human h ear t t o b e a t tac h e d to anything th a t had long existed. Independently however of this, he looked to the principles which had guided the founders of these schools, and he sh ou ld b e sorry to h e l e f t to the chanc e o f new discoveri es t o supersede those ancient principles. He should be sorry to see new foundations totally unconnected with our national Church—new foundations which, with the view of including persons of all varieties of faith, should consent to eliminate religious teaching altogether. He should be sorry to see an attempt at any new system in the way of education which should not in some degree take its roots in the foundations of our old grammar school system. Of course there would be various difficulties. In the first place, there were trustees who had to be consulted ; then there were the wills of founders to be looked into, and more or less to be respected. There were difficulties also as to funds, which in many cases were very insufficient; the funds for buildings were often still more deficient, and very frequently there was the existence of an old master who could not be easily displaced —a man who might have all sorts of private virtues, but no qualifications for bis sp ec i a l function. He hoped they were free from all these difficulties here; they had not an old effete master—(laughter)— wedded to old things, and accustomed to a jogtrot m o d e of life—as he recollected one in a neighbour ing tom in the county perfectly content. to walk up and down a n empty ma tua rka a b e l t e iv m e e m n a i s n . hall, "vacua se jeans in aula," enjoying a salary of £3OO cota b ta ee e n nz a i a year, having beaten on the head all his scholars till t h e y posi tion, and rejoicing in (Laughter.)

He One observation of the archdeacont s urged them above all things to be sure to give to the children atten tion in regard to the practical working that practical education which their Parents required as di rectly bearing upon the immediate . business o f th e i r li ves . Let them keep in view higher ob jects besid es , b u t a t l east let them show the parents that the. i mmediately practical objects for which they sent their ch ildren to school were as well, and if possible, better answered than elsewhere. lie Was aware that ther e Wait something very attractive in the higher branches of study; if a to a ster, himself a highly educated man, could find here and there a boy of higher abilities and aspirations than his fe l lows, it was naturally his delight to lead that boy on and hand him over to the university. This should not be neglected. but, on the other hand, they must be provided adequately for the ma jority, the average ordinary race of boys, that they should be well taught in those special dePaitraents of knowledge for which their parents sent them to school. Particular attention must therefore always be paid to the simpler and more humbler branches of education. (Rear.) It was their duty, too, to try and incense, as the . Scotch would sa y, th e middle classes themselves with the idea that education, in stead of being rather an obstruction in practical life, which was too common an opinion, was really an a d vantage. He wished he could put strongly before them the success of our neighbours, the Scotch, to whom he had previously alluded. At the time of the Reformation our leading men in Church and State desired to accompany it with an extension of education to the middle classes especially, but the same view was pursued, he must say, more consecutively, vigo • rously, and successfully in the sister co untry, Under the system which there prevailed, the whole country was spread over with parish schools, which educated all classes, or— for there might have been some change of later years, which for centuries did so, the humblest being taught Latin as well as their native tongue. It was not the feeling of the Scotch middle class that to learn much was an obstruction to practical work ; they did not think that a man was a worm ploughman because his mind was developed, but, on the contrary, they felt that a man was better practically the mere.his mind was cultivated, and the result was that in the DEVONSHIRE. In this county, excepting in the moorland districts, har vest operations are completed, and in many parts thanks. giving services have been held. The long drought, also, it is gratifying to state, may be said to be over, for during the last week copious showers of rain have fallen, which have completely changed the aspect of nature. Fields that were parched and brown are now green with succulent grass, and the root crops that were languishing for moisture now look healthy and promising. The prospect of winter food is much more cheering than could possibly have been anticipated, and it is hoped that, with a continuance of the present favourable weather, the prices of butter, animal food, and vegetables, which have hitherto been extremely dear, may sensibly decrease. Already there has been a diminution, and farmers are looking forward to a great increase in the produce of their land by reason of the late beneficial change of the weather. LINCOLNSHIRE. Nearly the whole of the white corn has been secured in the neighbourhood of Spalding, although rain has somewhat delayed operations during the past week. The steam thrashing machines have been set to work, and a good deal of new corn has been shown and sold. The quality is excellent, and the yield satisfactory, although not equal , to the extra. ordinary quality and abundance which characterised the harvest of 1863. Oats are good in quality, but deficient in quantity, and beans considerably so. At Swineshead the harvest is making rapid progress, and will be secured early next week. In the neighbourhood of Barton-on -Humber the harvest is progressing rapidly, and but little wheat re mains uncut. As far as can be judged, the crops will prove a fair average. Potatoes are small, and are selling at £l3 to £l4 per acre. Round Epworth the greater part of the eorn on the high lands has been secured in good condition. Frosts have affected the potato crop. RUTLANDSIIIRE. The harvest may be considered nearly concluded in this county. Thrashing machines are now in daily use. SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND. It is stated on the best authority that if the favourable weather continues the wheat crop in Northumberland will turn out much more productive than was ever anticipated, and little, if at all, below an average. Barley is quite an ave rage crop, and for quality has never been excelled. Oats are rather light in straw, but with a good head and a clear well filled grain. Beans and peas have been gathered in capital order, and will turn out better than might at one time have been expected. The late fine rains have greatly improved the appearance of turnips, and upon well pul verized lands there cannot be much anxiety on their account. Potatoes appear to be clear of disease. The late rains have had a very beneficial effect on the pastures, especially the old grass lands. The harvesting does not make that pro gress on the coast that it does in the interior of the country, although the farmers, by using reaping machines, are doing better this year than they have done in former seasons. STATE or TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 2.—ln the cloth market to-day eel rers report trade as flatter than ever. They say there is an utter stagnation of business—an indisposition on all hands to buy. Offers of any kind are hardly obtainable, and, while they quote no difference in prices, they say there is not busi ness sufficient to test them. 'While the market has been depressed, the transactions of the day have been as nearly nothing as possible. This applies to cloth for all markets. Although the advices from India on Monday were so en couraging, reporting an advance of 3d per lb on yarns at Bombay in 14 days, and of is to is 6d per piece on cloth, the market here to-day is worso, both as to prices and feeling, than it was at the beginning of the week. In shipping yarns the same activity prevails as on Tuesday. Prices are not particularly depressed. Spinners are closing their mills, who are coming out of contract, in preference to working to stock. In home-trade yarns the market has also been stagnant, with prices irregular and quiet in the buyer's favour. Messrs. Du Fay and Co., in their monthly trade circular of yesterday, speak of stocks as being greatly re duced in the markets of India, and says :—" In other dis tant markets consumers are gradually accustoming them selves to the higher range of prices which reduced supplies have commanded and facilitated," and that "the same absence of stock is observable in other quarters which we before noticed as being the case here, at the source of pro duction, and this circumstance will greatly ameliorate the bad consequences of a change and reaction, whenever and however it may come, if it does come at all, in the shape some people are imagining at present." It is because people are imagining and believing a change is imminent, through a possible cessation of the war in America, that we have had such a flat market to-day. Probably in a short time all this will have disappeared, but there is very generally a fear that the present production of goods is too large for the supply of cotton, and that they are too high in price to be safely exported in large quantities, and this is one source of a wnnt of confidence in the market. CARDIFF, Ist.--There is a large business doing in both the house and steam coal trades, and considerable activity is evinced at the docks. The current quotations are well maintained, and the market is gradually getting firmer. Freights continue rather high, owing to the scarcity of ton nage. Coke is in average request, and there is no change to record in prices. The rain that has fallen since Sunday has enabled all the works that had been obliged to stop from want of water to commence operations again. There is a better inquiry for every description of iron, and quotations are firmer than was the case a fortnight ago. Several orders have been given out on American account during the last few days, and no doubt is entertained that the demand from that country will be large for the coming months. The shipbuilding yards are in full employ, and the oth , r branches of trade are in a fairly satistactory Oran. LEEns, 2d.—The following is the trade report of I he Leeds Chamber of Commerce for the month of August :--4 , Th e business done in the woollen cloth warehouses during the month has been a fair average, and the country trade has also been good. A considerable busines.3 has been done for shipping, except in the American trade, for which only a very moderate amount has been taken. The manufacturers aro all fully employed. The woollen cap makers are very busy, and have large orders on hand. The public sales of wool in London closed on the 31st ult., and about 140,000 bales passed the hammer. The attendance was large through. out. Foreign buyers operated freely, though hardly with the same spirit as at the May sales. Prices commenced at the closing rates of May, but declined slightly on most descrip. tions after the advance in the Bank rate. Manufacturers continue well emplo3ed—the home consumption of wool is consequently large. There has been little done in flax, ex cepting bag flaxen, for which there has been a fair demand at full rates. For other sorts quotations remain without change, but on the whole have shown ROM° weekne.a. Fine tows The New York papers publish the following ac. count of the burning of the Adriatic by the Talla hassee, taken from the statements of the master and mate of the destroyed vessel : The Adriatic was a fine packet ship of 1,200 tons, the principal owners being Messrs. E. E. Morgan and Sons, of 70, South-street, New York ; one third, however, of the vessel was owned by the captain, Captain Moore, the first mate being I. F. Johnson. The Adriatic left London on the 9th July, with a full cargo, carrying on board also 163 passengers, about one-third Irish, and the rest of various nationalities. All went well, and the ship had a favourable voyage until on nearing port on Friday morning, abcut five a.m., the Tallahassee ran across her bow, hailed the Adriatic, and ordered the captain to heave to, in obeying which the pirate's mainmast was carried away, The Tallahassee immediately sent a boat full of men—a most ragged ragamuffin set, armed to the teeth with cut lasses and pistols, with orders to bring back the captain of the Adriatic and hie papers. Captain Moore accordingly went on board, and was at once informed by Taylor, the commander of the pirate, that he intended to burn his ship. Capt. Moore naturally expressed a hope that such a thing would not be done, stated that he was part owner, and wholly uninsured, and above all that the ship had above 200 passengers (emigrants) on board), and that such an act would be most cruel and inhuman towards them. Taylor replied, " I can't help that, captain. lam sorry for you, but I can't help it. l'hat's a packet ship, and precisely the sort of ship we want to burn, in order to bring this war to an end by destroying your commerce, That's an American vessel, and that's quite enough to determine its destruction." Although Capt. Moore had his bills of lading they were not even Icoked at, and he was informed that he must return on board at once and prepare his pas sengers for removal. Seeing that all further expostulation was useless, the captain returned and informed the passen gers of the state of affairs, and that they would be permitted to take as much of their baggage with them as they c ,uld carry in their hands. This information was naturally received by the unfortu nate passengers with the utmost consternation, many of them leaving in the luggage they had with them the savings of a lifetime, and much of it of such a nature that it was impossible to remove it in the short time allowed, the women filling the air with their cries and piteous entreaties, but all in vain. Meantime the newly-captured pilot-boat, James Funk, had laid chase to and captured the barque Suliote, Capt. Fenno, from which it took bonds for 3,000 doll, and ordered her to heave to and receive the passengers of the Adriatic, having been induced to leave so quickly by a promise that their luggage should be sent atter them—a promise it need not be said that was never meant to be ful filled. The.eaptain was then ordered immediately to leave the ship, which he refused to do unless compelled, the mate re maining with him ; whereupon the boatswain of the Talla hassee, who is said to be a New York man, called on his crew, who with loaded pistols forced the captain end mate into the boat, and, having set fire to the ill-fated vessel, steered for the Tallahassee. On arriving near the pirate the captain and mate were refused admission on board, and, being put into one of the Adriatic's boats, rowed back to the burning ship to se Aire some provisions. The flames were then coming out of the hatches and the forecastle, conse quently they were only able to secure two small bags of bread, which they took on board the Suliote. On reaching the Suliote, they found 200 people on board a barque of 400 tons, deeply laden with coal, without any accommodation for such a crowd, who had to remain on deck, and with only one barrel of bread and three casks of water. The Suliote then set sail for New York, while the Tallahassee steamed off to the south east. The first night was passed by the passengers on deck without any serious discomfort, save such as arose from the excessive crow , ling and a scanty supply of food. In the morning of Saturday a schooner was hailed, and a boat sent to beg a cask of water, which, on the situation being explained, Was gladly furnished. About 11 a.m. the United States steam frigate Susque hanna, supposed to be in active pursuit of the pirate, was discovered lying like a log on the water. She hailed the Suliote, and inquired if she had the passengers or crew of more than one burning ship on board. An answer being returned, the captain and the pilot of pilotboat No. 24, which had also been captured, were requested to go on board. On being told of the course taken by the Tallahassee, the cap tain of the Susquehanna declared his intention of making for Bermuda, and, giving the pilot despatches for Admiral Paulding, and Captain Moore four bags of biscuit for the Suliote, steamed away, and left the barque to pursue her course to New York. Sandy Book was reached at last, and the Suliote anchored off the bar about half-past nine. The rain which shortly commenced, and was so welcome to th e coun t ry gene rally,after to the poor passengers on board the Suliote proved but an aggravation of their miseries. The accommodation of the bark was limited to one cabin calculated to hold about six persons, and when 30 women had been crammed into it there still remained about 160 of the crew and passengers exposed to the driving storm, Of course all were speedily wet to the skin, and although an effort was made to con struct an awning to keep off the rain, it was attended with little benefit, for the canvas, not being properly stretched, retained the water, and, at last, was precipitated by its weight on the heads of those beneath it, amid their shrieks of terror at what they fancied were the waves circling round them. The men were at the pumps all night, the sea, cairn as it was, constantly washing the decks ; indeed, had the least wind or swell prevailed, one half the people must have been washed overboard. At last morning dawned, and a tug coming down, the bark was taken down the bay, and an chored on Sunday morning about half a mile from the bat tery. It might have been supposed that when within hai of New York the sufferings of those on board would at cnco be brought to an end. This was not so, and to the disgrace of Castle Gordon it shout(' be known that though Capt. Moore made repeated application to the person in charge there, stating with perfect truth that all the provisions were gone, that the people were famishing, that the water was rettuded to one bucketful of muddy settlings for 200 persons, that the children were almost dying of thirst, and that he would himself willingly pay the expenses of a steamer to land the passengers, he was coolly and deliberately told by the sub ordinates in chargo that nothing could be don e until to morrow, it was Sunday. In pleasing contrast to this inhumanity was the conduct of officers Nesbit and Sullivan, of the harbour police, who showed every possible attention to the famishing people, and, at cansiderable trouble and the expense of a ducking to one of them, procured a cask of water for their use. At last on a request from the Customhouse authorities, the revenue cutter came off to take all to Castle Garden, and this being known was the signal for a long and joyous shout. Every ono was soon on board, leaving the luggage that had been saved until the next day in the Suliote. Copts, Moore and Panne were unwearied in their self- After a brief consultation, the jury returned a verdict of " 'Wilful Murder" against Richard Bale, the father of the clec,ased, who was thereupon committed for trial at the 'next Staffordshire Assizes—but he was afterwards taken, - with Baker, before the magistrates at Bilston, who commenced an independent inquiry so soon as the prisoners were arrested, and who had remanded them until yesterday afternoon, The prisoners were under examination at Bilston when our report was despatched. TRAGIC OCCURRENCE AT EDINBURGIL—The Scotsman states that at a late hour on Tuesday' night a very mysterious occurrence took place at Edinburgh. In the second storey of a large tenement situated in Rose.- street, there has lived for several years an old man, about 60 years of age, named Lindsay, a shoemaker, who has oc cupied a house consisting of a room, kitchen, and bed closet. His habits seem to have been somewhat eccentric. lie kept no servant, but cooked his own food, and performed, with out assistance, the domestic duties of his small houeel`told His secluded and somewhat irregular mode of living was not the result of poverty. He was a man of means; had purchased three storeys of the tenement in which he re sided—and was regarded by the neighbours as occupying a thriving worldly position. On Thursday, a young man, aged 26. named Geo. Dowdle, an ivory turner, who is a distant relation of Lindsay, arrived at Edinburgh, and took up his abode with the old man in Rose-street. Dowdle, it appears, has only recently returned from Australia, but for what purpose he came to Scotland has not transpired. Since Thursday, Dowdle and Lindsay have been living together, and going about the city in company. On Tuesday they had been out as usual, and returned about half•past 11 at night, About a quarter past 12 the neighbours were alarmed by hearing a loud noise proceeding from Lindsay's bedroom as of men engaged in a violent struggle. This lasted long enough to roxse several from sleep ; and just as some were about demanding admittance to the house, the window of the shoemaker's house was suddenly thrown up, and Lind say appeared in his night clothes. His neck was streaming with blood, and he was making vain attempts at articulation. By this time the police had been attracted to the spot, and were on their way up stairs when Dowdle ran down and told them that the old man, his relative, had cut his throat. On entering the place, Lindsay was found lying on the sofa with a deep gash across his throat—a pillow satu rated with blood was lying in the middle of the room, and a razor with a white handle, also displaying marks of blood, was found not far off. The old man was unable to speak ; but in reply to questions put to him he wrote down answers on a slate. The substance of his communication was to the effect that on entering his house that night, along with his relative, he had gone immediately to bed, and had been awakened by feeling a razor drawn across his throat by Dowdle. Springing from his bed he seized Dowdle, and the struggle commenced which was heard by those in the adjacent houses. Dowdle's version of the story is that the old man had been in a desponding state of mind for the last three days, and had threatened to make away with himself ; that after shaving himself the previous day he had put the razor in his pocket, carried it about with him, and, on entering the house on Tuesday night, had cut his throat with it. Medical assistance was promptly procured, and Lindsay's wound dressed, and up till late on Wednesday night he was going on favourably, although in a precarious condi tion. It is rumoured among the neighbours that Lindsay , kept a considerable amount of money, bank cheques, ko., in his house ; and it is also said that, when taken to the police, about 60 sovereigns were found on the person of Dowdle, who carried them in a belt strapped round his waist. Dowdle was on Wednesday brought before the police-court, and remitted to th e P r ocurator Fiscal, w h o i s at present engaged maki ng investigations into the m a tt er . A NEAT TRICK.—The following a nec d ote re . specting the famous Eau de Cologne of Jean Mario Farina has just appeared in a French journal :-- 4, There are many Farinas at 00/ognc, all of whom, of course, claim to bo the real Simon Pure. A French gentleman, who was recently in that city, being anxious to obtain a few bottles, entered the handsomest of three fine shops, all pretending to sell the genuine perfusee. After making a purchase, he conjured the master of the establishment to say whether he was indeed the real Farina. The shopkeeper seemed greatly embarrassed, but at last confessed that he was not, and that the real Farina kept the shop on the other side of the street. The gentleman thanked him for his candour, and imtne 'l iately made another purchase at the shop indieeted. The nett day the Frenchman, happening to pass through the street in company with a nal ivo of Cologne, related his ad venture, and was not a little astonished when his friend exclaimed, The rascal I why, the shop to which he recom mended you is a branch establishment of his own.' " IHE PRICE OF AN OATH.—On Wednesday last, at Winslow potty sessions, the sitting magistrates, P. Dauncey, Esq,, and W. S. Lowndes, Esq., inflicted a fine of 4s and costs, amounting to 3s 6d, on Daniel Neal, a shoe maker of that place, for having uttered a profane oath, whilst in a state of intoxication, on the 22d ult., and ordered him, in default of payment, to be sent to gaol for ten days with hard labour. He was also fined ss, and 8s 6d costs for getting drunk, Yesterday the inquest was resumed at the Spread Eagle Coseley, before Mr W. H. Phillips, deputy-coroner for the Wolverhampton district of Staffordshire, on the body of Eliza Siletto, aged about 6 years, who was found dead, and her body in a decomposed state, in a field of wheat at Coseley. On the discovery, suspicion at once attached to the girl's father, a miner, natnea Richard Hale, who had been im prisoned on the charg e of causing. the death, by neg l ect, of the child's m other, whom, atter the birth of the child, he married. He was known to have uttered threats against the child, and to have desired her death. After Hale's arrest a woman was also taken into custody, named Cecilia Baker, with whom he has recently cohabited, and who was seen by two witnesses coming out of the cornfield in com pany with Baker, from a point near to the spot where the body was after wards found, and during the time that it mu s t have been lying there. Three witnesses now deposed that the two prisoners were together at a coal wharf, where the woman worked, not far from the field, but that they did not go from the wharf dur ing the time that it had been deposed they were seen together in the field. Dr Wrightson, analyst, of Birmingham, a late professor at the Sydenham College there, deposed that he had com pleted his investigation of the clothes, as well as the hand kerchief that was known to be round the child's neck during her life. He had found blood upon several parts of the dress of the deceased, as well as upon the handkerchief. He had found blood upon the ribbon of the bonnet and upon several parts of the frock. He found blood very distinctly on the front part of the dress, on the chest. He had also opened out the silk handkerchief, and he found that towards one corner of it there was the mark of a cutting instru ment. It was of about an inch or an inch and a quarter in. length, and was at a point where the blood had stained th e handkerchief. He had not examined the edges of the cat with the microscope, but he could speak positively to the fac t that it was a clean cut, and not a tear or a worn hole. It was such a cut as might have been caused with a knife. He also found a pin in the handkerchief, with which it had rip ' parently been fastened round the neck of the deceased. He also examined a portion of the material composing the trousers which Hale wore at the last inquest. He found on the portions that ho examined slight stains as of blood that had been washed out, and he also found evidences of a slight smear as of blood in another part of the material. He found that he could not detach any portion of the substance from these marks, and he could only examine them by submit ting them to chemical solutions, for the purpose of testing by examination with the microscope. He had since ex amined the solutions so obtained chemical re-agents, and although he found indications of blood by those tests, yet he did not find them sufficiently strong or sufficiently con firmed by the microscope as to enable him to affirm that there were any marks of blood. The soil that had been given him as having been found beneath the body also contained blood. He had come to the conclusion that the blood upon the handkerchief was human blood. Of this he had no doubt, and in coming to that conclusion he had examined the blood of sheep and oxen. There were two light-coloured hairs near to the cut in the handkerchief; which were of a similar character to the hair on the scalp. He had calcu lated that the blood which had been absorbed by the hand kerchief weighed two ounces, but that would represent only a small portion of the blood that flowed over the handkerchief. A witness, who at the last inquest deposed that he saw the prisoners together near to the field, and not far from the spot where the body was found, on the day on which the witnesses mentioned above said that they both remained at the coal wharf all day, now added that since the adjourn ment ho had since examined the place, and had come to the conclusion that he saw them in the field itself, nearer to the body than he had at first imagined. The Coroner in reviewing the evidence, called the attent ion of the jury to the fact that the handkerchief, saturated with blood, was found some distance from the child, compre esed together, as though it had been thrown there—that the child was lying with her hat off, and placed by her side, and with her shoes and stockings off, the shoes being also placed by her side, and the stockings tucked in them. It was therefore conclusive that the deceased had not been struck down by lightning, and if she had it would have been impossible, the surgeons had deposed, for so much, blood to have flown from the corpse if it had afterwards been attacked by vermin. Then both the surgeons had given it as their opinion that the copious quantity of blood had flown from a wound before death, on or about the throat. bt.
