The noble visitors and company having taken their seats, The LORD PROVOST said—My Lords and Gentlemen, — My first duty is to offer my sincere acknowledgments to the noble earl for so courteously acceding to our request to meet us here this day ; and I now beg to tender to him the united and heartfelt thanks of my colleagues for the honour he has done us, thus adding another to the many favours his lordship has already conferred on this community. (Cheers.) On the occasion of a former town council re questing and obtaining Lord Aberdeen's permission to have his portrait taken, for the purpose of being placed in this hall, full expression was then given to their senti ments of esteem and regard for his lordship's character. We emphatically reiterate those sentiments and ex pressions, and now that the picture (which is a faithful and pleasing likeness, reflecting great credit on the skill of the accomplished artist who painted it, Sir John Watson Gordon) has been committed to our custody, we shall guard and preserve it with the greatest care and respect, and when we shall have all passed from this scene, our successors in office will point to it as the picture of the enlightened and patriotic statesman, who, in all the relations of life, gave so illustrious an example to his countrymen for their imitation. (Loud applause.) My lords and gentlemen,—l trust the address I have now the honour to present to the noble earl will not be considered of the less value because it emanates from a body of per sons, who, though living at a distance from the seat of Government, yet representing a large and intelligent com munity, where the actions and conduct of public men are freely canvassed, but, particularly, residing in the neigh bourhood of his patrimonial estates, Lave had an ample and probably as good an opportunity of appreciating his lordship's character and services as any other portion of her Majesty's subjects. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I shall now, with your permission, read the address of the Council. Address of the Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the city of Aberdeen, to the Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen, K.T., First Lord of the Treasury, and Lord-Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire. My Lord Aberdeen,—When your lordship three years ago kindly assented to the wish of this corporation that your portrait should be painted for them by an eminent master, it was their intention, on occasion of its being placed in the Town Hall, to request that you would honour them with your presence, in order to receive in person their expression of the feelings off deep respect and esteem entertained by them for your lordship, and which the portrait was designed to com memorate. You have since been called by her Majesty to fill the highest place in her councils, and the exigencies of the public service have interfered to prevent you from visiting Scotland until now, Your lordship has been pleased to yield a prompt and cour teous compliance with our anxious request to be permitted now to address you, during your brief respite from thelabours of office. In doing so, we cannot regret the delay occasioned by your prolonged absence from Scotland, because the pre sent eventful period, with the history of which your name must ever be associated, invites and justifies us in referring, more emphatically than would formerly have been necessary, to your lordship's public character, as well as to your position in the state. We cannot refrain, however, from adverting, in the first place, with a natural pride, to your long and intimate con nection with this part of Scotland, by the ties of ancient de scent, large territorial possessions, and frequent residence among, and constant intercourse with, its inhabitants. Your conscientious discharge of every duty arising out of these local relations, and out of the high offices of Lord-Lieute of the County, and Chancellor of King's College, have gained the respect and attachment of all within the sphere of your influence ; and. while it is the boast of the Town Connell of Aberdeen tbat you are already enrolled among her citizeua, it is also their duty and pleasure to acknowledge the obliga tions under which they lie, in a particular manner, to your lordship, for your marked kindness and attention in every case where its interests are concerned. But great, my lord, and peculiar as are your claims on the gratitude and respect of this portion of the country, we feel that they are eclipsed by the lustre of your public services rendered to the empire at large. We have marked, in com mon with our fellow-countrymen, that enlightened sagacity, that sympathy wiah the just rights and true interests of the people, which placed your lordship, along with Sir Robert Peel, at the head of those who carried the great measure of free trade, and which since his death have left you the most influential advocate of his opinions ; we have admired the moral courage which led you, on other occasions, to main tain inflexibly your own convictions, independent of popu larity ; and that consummate knowledge of foreign affairs, and wise management of our foreign relations, which have be fore saved this country from a rupture with other powers. Such qualifications, and the universal conviction of your spot less integrity had worthily earned the proud. position to which your lordship has been summoned as First Minister of the British Crown. We desire to add our humble and hearty tribute of ap proval of the policy pursued by your lordship's Government both at home and abroad, while placed in the most trying circumstances and harassed by the attacks of unscrupulous opponents. With these attacks, my lord, your countrymen have had no sympathy, They concur in the sentiment of another great statesman, that the highest eulogy of a British Minister is his having been actuated by the love of peace ; they appreciate your lordship's ceaseless efforts to avert from this great empire the horrors of war, while preserving its honour untarnished; and they do justice to the unparalleled romptitude and vigour with which, after war became inevit able, our great armaments, both by sea and land, were des patched to their respective fields of action. We, along with the rest of the nation, regard with peculiar satisfaction the cordial and unbroken union which has throughout subsisted between her Majesty and her august allies ; and we tender to your lordship, as head of her Go vernment, our heartfelt congratulations on the brilliant suc cesses with which it has pleased Almighty God to crown their arms. Most sincerely do we pray that these victories, and the wise measures of the Allied Powers, may speedily result in restoring to Europe the blessings of peace, Having thus endeavoured, though imperfectly, to do justice to our feelings of profound respect, esteem, and gratitude to your lordship, and confidence i n your administration, we earnestly trust that you may be long spared to preside over the councils of our Sovereign. Signed in name and by appointment of the Provost, Magis trates, and Council of the city of Aberdeen, and the common seal of the city hereunto affixed, at Aberdeen, the 9th day of October, in the year 1554. THOS. BLAIKIE, Provost and Chief Magistrate of the city of Aberdeen. At various parts of the address the company cheered very enthusiastically. The Lord Provost, advancing, pre sented the address to the noble Premier, who rose to re ceive it. It was printed in gold letters on vellum, beau tifully illuminated, and had the city seal attached to it in a silver box—the whole enclosed in a blue morocco case bearing the city arms. Lord ABERDEEN, on rising, was received with repeated rounds of applause. On its subsiding , h e said—M y Lord Provost and gentlemen, I trust you will readily believe that the pleasure I have derived from revisiting this part of the country for a f,:sv days has been greatly increased by the very friendly and cordial reception I have met with from you upon this occasion. (Cheers.) Of the address - which you have now read I may only say that it is couched in terms much too fiatte i rein d g, and very far above my , de serts. But although I none of my predecessors in office, and shall yield Ytoen to l me, i n an earnest desire and an hon as o t n w e i w sn h t o o and prosperity of this country, to. still, when means which are nece;s:l consider the may yomfoolteo follow e Ware desires I cannot but a with effect practically to such ea f s e e e d li , ng i s zt of th c i l s ee a p d h d u re m ss i , lit t y o . (Cheers.) You have been p refer to the portrait which l see before me, and which you have done me the n : f ini r o e u f r to place upon these walls. My Lord Provost, some pride to the fact that your vote w as with feelings of work. executeil at a time when I held ia:oBs i.polaisnteiedalanodffitchee, still it is with equally gratified feelin conduct in office has not been such as to dimiin'thattlimosye tah ,, h s r i e lo at ia l l y , friendly feelings which induced you to confer the. ' upon me. (Prolonged applause.) Gentlemes I greatly value this address, and good reason is there that I do so. First, it is presented to me in the locality where I am best known, and you are aware that this is a test which has always been considered somewhat difficult to meet--(applause)—but especially I value it, as coming from a body of men who have every claim to my greatest respect and honour. (Applause.) Gentlemen, when my acquaintance first commenced with this city, now many years ago, when I received its freedom from the hands of predecessor of my worthy friend opposite, its popula tion did not exceed more than 30,000. It has prodi giously increased since that time, and in numbers has amounted not only to double, but, I believe, to 70,000 inhabitants. Now, that increase is not confine( -to its population only, but the increase has equally taken place in its wealth, its prosperity, its improvement, , r .,ocavervAeseription. Now, how has this been accom pitehedri.Vertainly not by royal favour, or by the special .7" proteetiopogsany government ; but it has been by the per severing **wry, the high intelligence, and strict into gritY of fteicitixons. (Cheers.) It is this spirit of self , reliance, taist - this exertion, which have given it an Euro pean reputation, and will, I trust, perpetuate its prosperity. My Lord Piovest, I think the last time I had the honour of kin within these w'd i s was on the occasion of Lay per. sonally introducing to a predecessor of yours, and -to the citizens of this town, my late illustrious and ever-to-be lamented friend, Sir Robert Peel. (Loud applause.) .1 well remember, upon that occasion, the unanimity and enthusiastic feelings with which you conferred upon him the honour of your freedom. (Applause.) Since that time it has pleased her Majesty to place me in the position which he had occupied for several yearn to his own immortal honour, and with incalculable advantage to his country. J.,oud applause.) I am sure that I need not say how utterly hopeless and vain it would be in me if I were to pre/suite to expect to rise to the height which he had occu pied for several years, to his own immortal honour, and with incalculable advantage to his country. (Loud Ap plause.) I am sure that I need not say how utterly hope less and vain it would be in me if I were to presume to expect to establish the same claim to public grati tude, or to carry into effect such measures as he accom plished ; but, at the same time, I may be permitted humbly to hope that the recollection of his example and of his friendship may not altogether be without its fruits. (Great applause.) Gentlemen, when it pleased her Majesty to place me in the situation which I now have the honour to fill, I thought it my duty briefly and generally, but ex plicitly, to declare the principles upon which the Govern ment, of which I was placed at the head. would be carried on. I have no reason to swerve from these principles or that declaration. On the contrary, it is that to which I desire to adhere. No doubt, the first great object would naturally be to maintain and to extend that financial magi commercial system of my late lamented friend which, at that time, had been recently established. 'But, gentlemen, that now has become a superfluous work. There is no ne cessity for any one to constitute himself a champion, or a defender, of the system—commercial and financial—of Sir R. Peel, for that, at least in this country, appears to be universally adopted, and even by his enemies it is either avowedly or professedly adopted, or, at least, silently ac quiesced in. I declare, too, that the main principle upon which the measures of the Government rest was tounded on a principle of conservative progress. Now, it has been attempted to cast doubt upoi the meaning of this term, and it has been pretended that it is vague and not easy in telligible. Now, what I mean by it is this, that, while the great institutions of the country, and the fundamen tal principles of the constitution • shall be religiously preserved, I would, nevertheless, fearlessly carry the hand of Reform into every department of the State. (Prolonged applause.) I am satisfied it is only by such principles that any government can long exist in this coun try, or deserve the support of the people. (Cheers.) We have endeavoured to act upon this principle, and, to a con siderable extent, I may look back with satisfaction to mea sures which have been carried for the advantage of the public at large, and which appear to me to merit the ap probation of the country. Nay, even in the last session of Parliament, although, from other circumstances of a very peculiar nature, it was not possible to give the full deve lopment to the projects of her Majesty's Government ; nevertheless, various measures were carried—fiscal, com mercial, and legal—all of which were fraught with great advantage to the general public, and in ordinary times would have been amply sufficient to have furnished the materials for public thanks, and sufficient occupation for the session of Parliament. It is true also, that on that occasion I felt it my duty to declare that the policy of the Government was a policy of peace. I believe it will be ad mitted that to that policy we endeavoured firmly to adhere. (Cheers.) Nay more, lam satistie l that the great and uni versal support we now meet with throughout the country in the war in which we are engaged, is due to the belief that we sincerely did our utmost to avoid war. When war became inevitable, and at the moment when it be came necessary to declare it, then, although I can truly say for myself that I clung to the hope of peace with almost a desperate tenacity, yet, when war became inevit able, I declared that, so far as I was concerned, it should be carried on with the utmost vigour and energy of which the country was capable. Gentleman, perhaps the mo ment is not inopportune to ask whether that pledge has now been fulfilled?? (Loud and prolonged cheering.) If, gentlemen, you will only consider what has been done in the course of six short months, I think you will admit that this country never made an exertion at all comparable with that which she has just made. An army has been collected, and transported from the shores of this country such as never left them in preceding history—an army such as the Duke of Wellington never commanded, and ap pointed in all its parts in a manner which, humanly speak ing, is calculated to insure its success. (Cheers.) Gentle men, conceive what the extent of preparation must have been, when you are tcld that not less than seven hun dred vessels are engaged in the same operation. The difficulties connected with it, and the time re quired indispensably for such an undertaking, must strike every man of common candour ; and yet we hear delay talked of as if there had been delay. (Cheers.) I will venture to say that such an effort was never, iu the history of the world, made in so short a time as has been made. (Cheers.) This army has gone forth, and has achieved its first great victory, in conjunction with our gallant allies, the strict union and concert with whom has been fully established from the very first moment, and holds out the most encouraging prospect to all Europe. (Cheers.) We know not the details of this event, but they appear to me to be most important, and, I trust, de cisive ; fur, although by the natural impatience of the public, in which I myself partook, we were led to believe the reports from different quarters of the consequences —the immediate consequences of this victory, which are now found to have been confirmed, still, let us hope that what had been reported without foundation, may, in a short time, become reality. (Loud cheers.) At the very moment in which lam now addressing you, there is no reason not to hope that that event which, in the course of last week, was erroneously reported, has now become a fact. (Cheers.) I have said that the war would be con tinued with the utmost vigour and energy of which the country was capable, but in this I do not abandon a pacific policy. I believe that to carry on the war in this manner affords the best prospect of arriving at an early and a satis factory peace. I believe that peace, although sought by different means, is sought as effectually, under present cir cumstances, by this course, as it would be by written ne gotiations or diplomatic discussions. (Cheers.) Let me observe that, in carrying on the war with this vigour and with this energy, we have nevertheless done something to deprive war of its horrors, to humanise and to mitigate those atrocities with which war is inevitably accompanied. At the risk and at the sacrifice of some belligerent rights, we have admitted the commerce of neutrals, and we have, by our example, put an end to privateering, a most dread ful relic of a barbarous age, and which the world will now probably never see revived. I say, then, that we have en deavoured to mitigate the horrors of war, even while car rying it on with the utmost vigour ; and in so carrying it on, I repeat that I for one shall never lose sight of the only legitimate object of all war, that of arriving at a stable, just, and honourable peace. (Loud cheers.) Gentle men, I will say that war, when it ceases to be a necessity, becomes a crime. (Applause.) I should consider any one who had prolonged the war for a single day when it was in his power to make a just, safe, and honourable peace, would be greatly guilty ie the eyes of God and. man. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will detain you no longer, but I will repeat my respectful thanks for the great kindness with which you have received me, and which I have ex perienced at your hands. (Loud cheers ) At the conclusion of the noble lord's address, the Pro vost proposed three cheers for the Queen, which were fol lowed by the like compliment to the noble Premier ; three cheers were also given for the Army and Navy, and three cheers for the Provost. COURT OF ALDERMEN. On Tuesday a court was held for the despatch of business. The LORD MAYOR informed the court that a prisoner who had been committed by Alderman Wire some days ago having escaped, it would be necessary to adopt some proceedings with reference to the occurrence, especially as it had been suggested that the officers who had pri soners in their custody in pa,sing to and from the City police courts did not receive sufficient assistance to enable them to perform one of the most important parts of their duty efficiently. The subject was, upon the motion of Alderman Wire, referred to the General Purposes Committee, to examine and report on. HEALTHY STATE OF THE CITY PRISONS. Mr. BuimoN, the governor of Whitecross.street Prison, reported that there were 19G prisoners is that gaol, and added there had not been a single attack of cholera. The prisoners generally have been orderly and well-behaved, and but few cases of insubordi na ti on to prison rules have occurred. The usual orders relative to the arrangements for and the observance of next Lord Mayer's day were issued isy the court. A BROKER CHARGED WITH FLAGRANT DISHONESTY. The attention of the court was called to the ruinous misconduct of a broker in the case of a lady who bad employed him to sell out and purchase stock for her. The petitioner stated that the sum the defendant had misappropriated was ail she possessed in the world. The petition was accompanied with a note from the broker, and a memorandum of his receipt of the amount. Upon the motion of Alderman Copeland, who listened to the particulars of the case with great indignation, the City Solicitor was instructed to proceed against the sureties of the accused, whose name, for obvious reasons, is not yet published.

The inquest on the bodies, eleven in number, which up to Saturday morning la,t had been extricated from the ruins, on the south side of the river, was resumed yesterday before Mr. Favell. The inquiries were prin cipally directed to the point whether gunpowder was stored in or about the premises which were the scene of the explosion. Mr. T. Lange said they never had to his knowledge any gunpowder stored there, though it would he possible for some to be there without his know ledge, as the warehouseman bad a key. Other occu piers of the premises gave similar evidence, and put in lists of goods in their respective stores. Witnesses were under examination on this head when our report left. On Tuesday a meeting of the representatives of the various fire insurance companies having offices or agen cies in the town, was convened in the Central Exchange Hotel, in order to adopt the best measures for ascertain ing the losses sustained by the late calamitous fire, and for carrying out all necessary proceedings connected with Wm.

Total . 1,402 THE SCARCITY OF PAPER. A correspondence has been published between the departments of the Treasury and the Board of Trade on the increasing scarcity of materials for the manufacture of paper, which contains some interesting particulars. Dr. Playfair, to whom the subject has been referred, attributes the scercay of rags to a falling off in the supply iii some measure consequent upon the " lock-out" at Wigan and Preston, and the half time working at B.,lfast and the surrounding districts ; but as the price of cotton goods was scarcely in any de e ree affected by those circum stances, they can hardly have interfered with the supply of rags. The very Half-time working in Belfast referred to is an evidence that no want of cheap manufactured cotton existed.during the period of the Preston strikes. The causes of the scarcity are clearly to be found, not in a falling off in the supply of materials, but in the very greatly increased consumption of paper, consequent upon the increased demand both in Europe and America, not only for newspapers and books, but for the various manu factures to which paper and paper materials have of late years begun to be applied. Dr. Playfair attributes the failure of the many attempts hitherto made to convert the fibrous substances with which the vegetable kingdom abounds into paper, to three causes—the cost of prepara tion, the loss in bringing the fibrous substance to a state fit for the paper-maker, and the difficulty of bleaching some substances for white paper. Dr. Forbes Royle, how ever, in enumerating the fibrous plants of India, mentions several which, in his opinion, might decidely be pro fitably employed in the manufacture of paper. Even the weeds which in tropical climates grow in such luxu riance, might all, he believes, yield an abundance of fibrous material if the refuse of cultivated plants were found insufficient. Some machinery he suggests for separating the fibre would greatly facilitate operations ; the expense of freight might be diminished by compres sion, or by packing the material as dunnage ; while the cheapness of labour as of everything else in these coun tries, would enable materials for paper-making to be brought here in great abundance, and at a sufficiently cheap rate, if ordinary psi s were taken by the con sumers in Europe to encourage the planters or colonists of a distant region. But the substance which he more particularly recommends is the fibrous stem of the plain tain or musa paradisaica, which is extensively cultivated in all tropical countries. The stems of this plant, so valuable for its fruit, are now applied to no useful purpose. Each rootstock throws up from six to eight steins, which must be yearly cut down, and which will yield, according to Dr. Boyle, from 31b. to 41b. of fibre fit for textile fabrics, for rope making, or for the manufacture of paper. As the fruit already pays the expenses of culti vation, this fibre could be afforded at a cheap rate, as from the nature of the plant, consisting of almost only fibre and water, the latter might easily be separated. One planter calculates that it could be afforded for 91. 1:_;e. 4d a ton ; how far in a prepared state does not appear. The Board of Trade, while suggesting that leer Majesty's consuls abroad be instructed to obtain infor inatiou, and procure samples of vegetable fibre, in their respective localities, fix 2d to 2id. per lb. when purified and bleached, without reckoning the expense of prepa ration, as a cost sufficiently low to answer the purpose in view, though according to Dr. Lyon Playfair this is generally considered by paper makers as too high, Id. to LI, I. per lb, being the prico at which they think that inateria.le, to be of benefit, should be looked for. The latter price refers to roughly prepared pulp ; but should the pulp be offered in a bleached state, or in as far an advanced state, with regard to colour and texture, as cotton or linen rag, then 2i 1. to 4 I. per pound might be obtained. The limit if remunerative cost—the cardinal point in all experiments—does not appear to be settled with sufficient clearness. One fact, however, is certain, that the vegetable world abounds in fibrous materials for paper which have not yet been fairly experimented upon. To wild Plants, such as alluded to by Dr. Boyle, it is commonly objected that, although they are to be had for nothing in a natural state, the irregularity of supply from such a source would prevent their being available ; but to any one who considers the desultory way in which the rags now used are collected, it will be manifest that this objec tion might be surmountable. The Indian peasant might learn ne ighbourhood simplebya process to convert the fibrous m a t er i a l s in his into a pulp fit for paper making, as the Chine-e peasant plants and prepares his tea against the periodical visits of the Hong merchant. We are not in the habit of expecting much from Government inquiries, but British capital and energy are not wont to be deaf to the call of a daily advancing price and a sure market. They are accustomed to seek for new fields and fresh ventures. Let the possibility of making paper from cheaper materials be once shown, and literature cannot long remain dependent upon the precarious supplies of the rag-bag. MORE TROOPS FOR THE EAST. —The Dublin Evening Post has the following :—The City o f Dublin Steam packet C ornv anyhavereceived an ord er f rom G o vernment to have transports in readiness to convey 1,200 men, some of whom have arrived, and the remainder are hourly expected from Canada, to re-inforce the army in the East.

MIDDLESEX SEASIONS. Joseph, Go e, an Tt i _.a.lan, mi,lid:e agi.l, a confeciiont-I, carrying on husine,s in Bath-place. New-road, I,urreii dered to take his trio on till indictment, in which he Waf• e hargiAl with having assaulted Eugenie Pilit, wide in tent to ravish her. In other counts the charge was varied. Tho case lasted a considerable time, but the nature of it may be stated in a very few words. The prosecutrix was a simple-lookieg French girl, who stated that she was 15 years and a half old, but whose appearance was that of a young woman of 20 ; and it appeared that about three months age she came to London from Boulogne, and en tered the service of the defendant as nurse-girl, he be ing a married man with two children. She stated that shortly after she was in his service he kissed her, and took other familiarities, and that one night she woke up and found him in bed with her, his wife being in an adjoining house, which they also occupied, attending to , one of the children who was ill of cholera. She described the conduct he was then guilty oi, and if her evidence was correct in all its details there would be reason to sup pose that the defendant had accomplished his design, but the evidence of a medical gentleman by whom she had been examined went in contradiction of such a supposi tion. According to her account, she resisted to the best of her ability, but on being taxed by one of the men in the defendant's service with having slept with her master she denied it, tin eJgh shame, she said, and the first complaint she made of the defendant having violated I, er was in a letter to her mother at. Boulogne, which she got some one to write for her in French, as she couel net write herself. She could not speak english, and her evidence « as interpreted by Mr. Albert, who generally acts in that capacity at the court when an interpreter is required. Mr. Ballantine addressed the jury, and the Assis tant-Judge having summed up, they retired, and after leliberatin,g in a private room for about three-quarters of an hour agreed to a verdict of guilty on the count charging an indecent assault. The Assistant-Judge expressed his entire concurrence in the verdict, and sentenced the defendant to six months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Robert Ware, George Ware, and James Marlin, were charged before Sir R. W. Carden wi h having unlaw fully and wilfully sent a large quantity of beef unfit for human food to Newgate, to the great detriment of the public health. The City Solicitor attended for the prosecution, Mr. F. Campbell fur the defence. Robert Ware had been on a previous day charged with the offence, and the evidence given against him on that occasion involved the other two defendants. The City Solicitor called the following additional evi dance : James Birchley (labourer) said—l am in the employ ment of Mr. Fin-rester, of Greenhithe. On Saturday, the 30th of September, I was at Greenhithe, and saw a bullock drawn out of the water. I saw Robert and George Ware cut its fore feet off. I saw Martin there at the sime. It was dead at the time. Martin is, I believe, a butcher. He did not take any part i❑ the dressing of the beast. He was a kind of superintendent I heard him say when Robert Ware cut the throat of the bullock that he wished it taken to his slaughter house to have it dressed and sent to London, and he would give them a note where to send it to, and I made answer to him that I would have no more beef steaks out of his shop. Then be told them to get straw and and have it dressed where it lay. I saw Robert Ware stick the animal. It bled, and the colour wa- black as far as I could see. There might be a quart or a pottle of blood. I saw Mr: Fulljarnes there, and I heard him say if they sent-the beast to London he would write to the Lord Mayor. I left Martin there. John Rastin, station-master at the railway at Green hithe, said on the evening of the 30th of September Robert Ware came to the station, and brought four quarters of a bullock to send to London by the railway. George Ware was also there, but I did not see Martin. The direction to Mr. Webb, Newgate-market, was tied on by George Ware. Robert Ware paid for the carriage, and said he consigned the meat himself. Cross-examined—l know all three defendants. Martin is considered a highly respectable tradesman. John Davis, waterman of Greenhithe, said, on the 30th of September I found a dead ox in the river. One of the horns was off. I helped to tow it ashore, and made it fast to a buoy close to the wharf. I was going to sell it for the dogs. I parted with it to Robert Ware, and I was to be paid according to what he got for it. I expected I should have something for the skin or part of it. Mr. Fisher, the inspector, said a vessel called the Tiger came into the river with beasts on the 30th of Sep tember. She is not now in the port of London. Cross-examined—This is a smothered bullock, not a dropped bullock, and the inflammatory state of the animal as being smothered would make it unfit for human food. George Barton (a former witness) said, on cross-exa mination, Robert Ware told me not to offer the meat for sale till Mr. Pocklington saw it. I asked him if it was to go to the boilers, and he said if Mr. Pocklington thought fit. I know Mr. Martin. lie is in the habit of sending good meat to Mr. Webb. Mr. Pocklington (inspector of markets) agreed with Mr. Fisher in every respect as to the unfitness of the meat for human food. Mr. Campbell (for the defendant)—l will not conceal from the bench that our defence is that the meat was not offered for sale at all. Sir R. W. Carden—The offence charged here is for sending to a public market :neat unfit to be used as hu man food. Mr. Campbell submitted that there was no case what ever, at any rate against Mr. Martin. Sir R. W. Carden was quite of a different opinion. One of the witnesses just stated that he had told Mr. Martin he wou:d never deal in the tlefen laut's shop for heel steaks again, and it was quite evident that Mr. Martin was the principal mover in the binquess fr nature of the superintendence described. Sir It. W. Carden then said the three defendants must go before another tribunal, upon the prosecution of the City Soli citor. Bail was then offered and accepted. CLERKENWELL. — Mr. Soper, secretary of the Working Man's Emigration Society, attended before Mr. Currie with reference to the complaint of Edward Gosnell. Gosnell appeared and reiterated his statement, as to his having paid his subscriptions to the society, with a view to be sent out to South Australia, and being re fused his money on making a proper application to the directors of the society. Mr. Soper replied that they were willing to send him out, but in consequence of the prejudice created against the society by the report; in the newspapers a great number of persons had withdrawn their subscriptiens, and they had not at present sufficient funds. It would require 901. to send Gosnell and his family out to Aus tralia. Mr. Corrie—Then, you mean to say you have no . 901. to send them out. Mr. Soper—We have 1,0001. in dead stock. We have received Si. now from Australia upon bonds of security. Mr. Come—l think the press has done a most im portant service to the public by making known the pro ceedings of the society. It is a matter of great import ance. Here is a poor man who has accomplished all required of him by the rules of the bociety, he has been successful in the ballot, and you do not send him out, and refuse to return him his money It ought to be publicly made known, and I have no doubt it will, that the society is receiving money from persons, and has no funds to send them out to Australia according to the terms proposed by them. Mr. Soper assured the bench that the trustees of the society could not have any fraudulent intention. Mr. Corrie—l have no doubt ho (Gosnell) will be glad enough to receive his money (221.) back, if you will re turn it to him. Gosnell—Very glad, your worship. Mr. Soper—l am not bound to return the money, and the magistrate knows it. Mr. Currie said he should advise Gosnell and the other working men who were in the court, under simi lar circumstances, to go to a respectable solicitor, and file a bill in Chancery against Sir John Shelley, Mr. Tubbs, and Mr. Fra❑klin, the trustees of the society ; and the applicants having thanked the magistrate, pro ceeded to the office of Mr. Wakeling, to consult with aim upon the matter. LA.MBETII.—Francis Robert Newton and 'William Philip Newton, the sons of Mr. Augustus Newton, the barrister, who have been frequently before this court on a charge of committing a murderous assault upon the person of Mr. Stewart Ker, on Friday, the 4th of Au gust last, in the pleasure grounds at Beulah Spa, Nor wood, attended before Mr. Elliott in discharge of their heavy recognisances. Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, and Mr. Parry, the bar rister, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Curwood, solicitor attended on behalf of the prisoners. There was very little doubt on the part of many who heard the last examination that Mr. Ker and his friends wished, if possible, to forego the further prosecution of the matter, on account as it seemed of the unavoidable implication of other parties in the disclosures which must necessarily be made, and to day the whole affair was brought to a conclusion by an announcement from Mr. Parry, the prosecutor's counsel, that Ali. Ker would be content, "on account of the delicate state of his health," if the prisoners were bound over in their own recognisanceg to answer any bill that might be preferred against them at the sessions. Mr. Elliott remarked that having tried every means to bring the matter to a different result, he felt that the case was at present fairly out of his hands, and he should therefore hold the defendants to bail in their own recog nisances in 5001. each to meet any charge that might he preferred against them at the sessions. Mr. Curwood expressed a hope that the indictments would not be preferred against his clients at the next session, after which Mr. Parry assured him that nothing should be done at all events till the November session. The defentlents were then bound over in their ow❑ re cognisances, and lett the court in high spirits.

TUESDAY CONCLUDED.—The forward position which Rattle obtained for the Cesarewitch caused his chance for the Catubridgeshire to be very favourably regarded. On the course 6 to 1 was taken about him ; on muster ing at the rooms, however, after the races, three or four points more were laid, but the layers were evidently the first to decline ; at night 8 to 1 was taken freely. Scherz was in strong demand, and was backed for a good deal of money at prices ranging from 20 to 16 to 1. At midnight the quotations relative to the Cam bridgeshire were as follow :- 7 to 1 agst Rattle (taken). 12 to 1 agst Early Bird (taken). 16 to 1 agst Scherz (taken). 16 to 1 agst Orinoco.

The first race being " set" for two o'clock, ample time was allowed for the business of settling. Complaints of the scarcity of money were, however, heard on all sides ; and indeed the settling, so far as it went, was most un satisfactory, Two persons received a large sum of money early in the morning, and absented themselves from their creditors almost immediately afterwards. Several are very heavy losers ; but until the general settling day at Tattersall's, on Monday next, it is impossible to speak with any degree of accuracy as to the "hit and missing."

Trade not active, holders and purchasers disagreeing as to the price. Sales have been effected from 181. to 251. Very choice samples somewhat higher. Inferior and mouldy sarnples o , 121. The growths are very short of the estimated quan tities, and some few planters have left diseased hops re maining upon the poles to secure first-rate samples. Good samples have been obtained this year from the kilns not being overloaded, as has been the case in former years. The fires have had a much better effect upon the kops, producing a more genuine colour than if laid upon the kilns thickly. If the growers are judicious in effecting sales, avoiding to glut the market, as is too often dune, the opinion appears to be that high prices will be secured for their produce. The duty is variously estimated from 40,0001. to 50,0001., but if a general re port of the extreme shortness of the crops he any crite rion, we should be decidedly against 50,0001. or even 45 0001.— Kentish. Gazette. FALKIRE: TRYST.—The third and last of these great annual markets commenced on Monday, October 9, with the sale of sheep. The stock that appeared on the ground was considerably above the number of last month. This was accounted for by a larger turn• out of blackfaced stock than what appeared last month. The stock, although in good condition, was nothing, particularly in point of appearance, to what ' it was in September, and it is generally allowed that the stocks brought out in the above month are the pick of all stocks. Sales in the early part of the forenoon went on briskly, and what was really good in ewes and wed ders—black and whitefaced—sold readily. For the bet ter kinds of stock, it never ceased until the whole of that class were disposed of. The reason assigned for this unprecedented demand is in consequence of the turnips having made so much of late by the recent rains in Dum friesshire, Cumberland, and Westmoreland. There was a goodly number of buyers from Northumberland, but they did not purchase extensively The stock was com posed of Cheviot ewes and wedders, and a good many lots of crosses of both kinds. It is allowed that the stock. shown today was superior to anything shown at this corresponding market for many years, no doubt arising from the very excellent grazing season. At the close of the market very few lots remained unsold, and these were composed of old ewes and wedders in very inferior condition. .The market was admitted to be throughoet a good selling market, with a fair remuneration to the seller ; unless, in some in stances, where they had been bought toe dear at Inver ness in July last. A further proof of this extra stock to-day only requires to be mentioned, that the agent for the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank did nearly one-third more business to-day than at the corresponding market of last month. Cheviot weddere, in some instances, would be Is. a head higher than last month, but several lots went off at the same prices ; Cheviot ewes from Is. to ls. 6d. above last month. Thaekfaced wedders, the better kinds of them, supported the prices of last month, hut the inferior kinds were a shade less ; the ewes were fully ls. 6d. a head above last month's prices. Crosse, also sold well, and had a corresponding rise according to qua:ity.—lidinbtogh. Advertiser.

Sir,—With gratitude I am enabled to testify to the wonderful virtues your pills possess, having derived con siderable benefit from using them. For twelve months I was a severe sufferer from g eneral debility, indigestion, loss of appetite, and altogether a very deranged system.
