The magi strates and council also took advantage of the noble earl's visit to present him with an address, expressive of their approval and admiration of the policy which he has fol lowed as head of her Majesty's Government. The Earl of Aberdeen and party were received by the Lord Provost, magistrates, and council, in the council chambers, and from thence conducted to the Town-hall, which they entered shortly after two o'clock, the company rising en masse, and welcoming them with great applause.

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 dxy ; 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, have 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, bear, 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, LT., 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 corn 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 the labours 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 as in referring, more emphatically than would formerly have been necessa 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 Council of Aberdeen tbat you are already enrolled among her citizens, 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 wish 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 thr,aighout 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 in 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 1854. 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, he said—My 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 few days his 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 flattering, and very far above my de serts. But although I yield to none of my pr edecessors i n office, and shall yield to none who may follow me, in an earnest desire and an honest wish to promote the welfare and prosperity of this country, still, when I consider the means whi c h are necessary to effect practically to such ( d e es h i e r e e r s s l .) (.a r o u ri t b h u a t ve spak with feelings of deep humility. refer to the portrait av e h lii me, and pleased, in this address, to ich I now see before which you have do ne these walls. Loro. hie the honour to place .. up o n , some pride to the fact when vote the)vost, if I refer with feelings I work executeA at a time was passed and the still it is with equally I held no political office, gratified feelings I find that my conduct in office has not such as to diminish those feelings which ienpdpulceeedersr friendly Le confer that honour upon me. (Prolonged value this address, and good reason • entlemen, I greatly do so. First, it is presented to inse is t ther e that I should am best known, and you are aware e tl l i oc a locality where I which has always been considered somewhat this is a test difficult to meet —(applause)—but especially I va l ue it, from a body of men who have every c l a i m to my u "ruin g respect and honour. (Applause.) Gentlemen, when e atest acquaintance first commenced with this city, n ow ma n g years ago, when I received its freedom from the hands of a 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 confined to its population only, but the increase has equally taken place in its wealth, its prosperity, its improvement, of every de-wription. Now, how has this been accom plished ? Certainly not by royal favour, or by the special protection of any government ; but it has been by the per severing industry, the I.'gh intelligence, and strict inte grity of its citizens. (Cheers.) It is this spirit of self reliance, and this exertion, which have given it an Euro pean reputation, and will, I trust, perpetuate its prosperity. My Lord Prevost, I think the last time I had the honour 3f being min Ono Nr«,lis was on the occasion Only 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.) I well remember, upon that occa9ion, 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 years, to his own immortal honour, and with incalculable advantage to his country. (Loud applause.) I am sure that I need not say how utterly hopeless and vain it would be in me if I were to presume 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 and 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 eit'uer 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 rounded on a principle of conservative progress. Now, it has been attempted to cast doubt ups,' 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 groat 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 cowl ; 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 tession 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 satisfie d that thegreat 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 frilly 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. Gentlemen, perhaps the mo ment is not inopportune to ae,k 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 iu 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 told 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, in 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 groat 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.) Wo know not the details of this event, but they appear to me to be most important, and, I trust, de cisive; for, 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 I am now addressing you, there is no reason not to hope that that event which, in the course of last week, was erroneously reported, has new 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 weird 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 he 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 Li 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 lard'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 Taesday 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 passing to and from the City police courts did sot 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 sun OP THE CITY PRISONS. Mr. BURDON, the governor of Whitecross-street Prison, reported that there were 196 prisoners in 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 insubordination to prison rules have occurred. The usual orders relative to the arrangements for and the observance of next Lord Mayor's day were issued lsy the court: ABROKER 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 had employed him to sell out and purchase stock for her. The petitioner stated that the sum the defendant had misappropriated was all 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 iniignation, the City Solicitor was instructed to proceed against the sureties of the accused, whose name, for obviou.s reasons, is not yet published. THE FIRE AT NEWCASTLi. The inquest on the bodies, eleven in number, which up to Saturday morning last had been extricl,ted 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 gunpoewder was stored in or about the premises which were the scene of the explosion. Mr. T. Lange said they never bad to his knowledge any gunpowder stored there, - though it would be possible for some to be there without his know ledge, as the warehouseman had 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 bead when our report left. On Tuesday a meeting of the representatives of the various fire insurance companies having offices or ngen 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 the same. Wm. Woods, Esq., of the New.testle Fire Office, in the chair. The following were appointed &committee to enter into the necessary details :—namely, the agents, re tipectively, of the Newcastle, the Phoenix, the Sun, Cho Royal Exchange, the County, the Manchester, the Leeds and Yorkshire, the North British, the Norwich Union, and the Anchor offices ; five to be a quorum, and Ai r : Woods to be convener. Resolutions to the effect that the committee be autho rised to take such steps as may be considered. judicious to instigate the cause of the explosion ; and that they endeavour to estimate the loss of life and i ujury sus tained by those who had suffered in the discharge of their duty, were severally put from the chair, said unani mously adopted.

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 scarcity 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 Belfast and the surrounding districts ; bnt as the price of cotton goods was scarcely in any decree 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 Eurone and America, not only for newspapers and books, but f,r 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 tai 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 Boyle, 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 pai , s were taken by the con• sumers in Europe to encourage the planters or colonists of a distant region. But the substance which ho more particularly recommends is the fibrous stem of the plain tain or muss paradisaica, which is extensively cultivated in all tropical countries. The stems of this plant, so valuable forits fruit, are now applied to no useful purpose. Each rootstock throws up from six to eight stems, which must be yearly out down, and which will yield, according to Dr. Royle, from 3lls. 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 he afforded for 91. ids. 4d. a ton ; how far in a prepared state does not appear. The Board of Trade, while suggesting that her Majesty's consuls abroad be instructed to obtain infer !nation, 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, to 1:d. per lb. being the price at which they think that materials, to be of benefit, should be looked for. The latter price refers to rough!) , 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 2id. to 41. per pound might be obtained. The limit of remunerative cost—the cardinal point in all experiments—does not appear to be settled with sufficient clearness. One fact, however, iocertain, 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 fram such a source p r event their being available ; but to any one wo 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 bya simple process to convert the fibrous materials in his neighbourhood into a pulp fit for paper making, as the Chinese 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 B ritish ca p i t a l a n d energy are not went 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 ma ki n g paper from cheaper materials be once shown, and literature cannot long remain dependent upon the precarious supplies of the rag-bag. MORE TROOPS FOR TIE BART.—The Dublin Evening Post has the following :—The City of Dublin Steam packet Company have received an o r d er f rom G overnmen t to have transports in readiness to convey 1,200 men, some of whom have arrived, and the remainder are hourly expected from Canada, to reinforce the army in the 'East. This circumstance, together with the fact that inducenaents are held out to the soldiers of the re giments at home to join as volunteers the army of the Crimea, and also to the militia to volunteer into the line proves that the war operations, whether in the Crimea or elsewhere, are not expected to terminate soon—per haps not even with the taking of Sebastopol.

Joseph Goffe, an Italian, aged, a cenfectioner, carrying on business in Bath-plece. New road, surren dered to take his trial on an indictment in which he was c harged with • having assaulted Eugenie in tent to ravish her. In other counts the charge was varied. The case lasted a considerable time, but the nature of it may be stated in a very few words. The prosecutrix was a simple-lookirg 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 ago 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 of, 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, through share, she said, and the first complaint she madd of the defendant having violated her was in a letter to her mother at Boulogne, which she got some one to write for her in French, as she could net write herself. She could not speak English, and her evidence was 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 leliberating 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 .Tames Martin, 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 for 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 dence : • James Birchley (labourer) said—l am in the employ ment of Mr. Forrester, of Greenhitbe. 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 in 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 he 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 was black as far as I could see. There might be a quart or a pottle of blood. I saw Mr. Fulijames there, and I heard hid 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 lithe, 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 Greennithe, 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 fur 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 offor 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. Pock Hilton thought fit. I know Mr. Martin. He 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 meat 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 would never deal in the defendant's shop for beef steaks again, and it was quite evident that Mr. Martin was the principal mover in the business from the nature of the superintendence described. Sir R. 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. Carrie 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 reports in the newspapers a great number of persons had withdrawn their subscriptions, and they had not at present sufficient funds. It would require 90/. to send Gosnell and his family out to Aus tralia. Mr. Corrie—Then, you mean to say you have not 90/. to send them out. Mr. Soper—We have 1,0001. in dead stock. We have received 81. now from Australia upon bonds of security. Mr. Corrie—l think the press bai 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. &Ter assured the bEnch that the trustees of the society could not have any fraudulent intention. Mr. Corrie—l have no doubt he (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 Gomel] 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. Franklin, the trustees of the society ; and the applicants having thanked the magistrate, pro ceeded to the office of Mr. %Vakeling, to consult with him upon the matter. LAMBETH.—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 murders us 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. Garwood, 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 Mi. Ker would be content, "on account of the delicate state of his health," if the prisoners were bound over in their own recognisances 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 Le preferred against them at the sessions. Mr. Garwood expressed a hope that the indictments would not be preferred against his cliints at the next session, after which Mr. Parry assured him that nothing should be done at all events till the November session. The defendents were then bound over in their own re cognisances, and left the court in kigh spirits.

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."

The first at 1.30 ; the last, the Bretby Stake, at 4. Hors.—The market is now tolerably well supplied with new hops of general good colour and quality. 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 samples, 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 hops, 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 done, the opinion appears to be that high prices will be secured for their produce. The duty is variously estimated horn 40,0001. to 50,0001., but if a general re port of the extreme shortness of the crops be any crite rion, we should be decidedly against 50,0001. or even 45 0001.— Kentish Gazette. FALKIRK 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 goadly 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 to-day 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 thr o u g hout a good selling market, with a fair remuneration to the seller ; unless, in some in stances, where they had been bought too 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 a nd Glasgow Bank did nearly one-third more business to-day than at the corresponding market of last month. Cnoviot wedders, in some instances, would be is. a head higher than last month, but several lots went off at the same prices ; Cheviot ewes from lre to ls. 6•1. above last month. Black[iced wedders, the better kinds of them, supported the prices of last month, but the inferior kinds were a shade less ; the ewes were fully ls. 6d. a head above last month 's prices. Crosses also sold well, and had a ccr!•esponding rise according to quality._Edinburgh Advcliser.
