SAL3ION FISHING. —During the past week the salmon fishing in the middle and upper waters of the Tay has not been very productive. A great many salmon and grilse have, however, been taken on the banks above and below Newburgh. The fishing season on the Tay, from the mouth of the Earn upwards, closes on Saturday first. Take❑ as a whole, the season has been fully an average one, and to the tacksmen generally has been remunerative. It is stated that the fishings in the Tay belonging to the Earl of Kinnoull, the Earl of Wemyss, and Mr. Hay, of Seg4ieden, are to he exposed to let for next year, by public roup, on Friday, the Bth September next.- -Perth Paper. THE WYE.—The salmon fishing this season in the river Wve has proved extremely successful and the angler and fisherman has been rewarded with re markably fine and healthy fish. It has been noticed that many large salmon have this summer been captured, and this, no doubt, is owing to the careful manner in which the waters are preserved from wholesale poaching. The Wye associations have determined to prosecute all parties discovered laying out lines either in the Wye or the Lugg. A salmon was captured the other day weigh ing upwards of 3011).. and more than a yard in length. In the Severn the fishing has also been very good, and the fish in fine condition. DUNBAR, Aug. 23.—The herring fishing this morning wa, generally light, but considerably better than during the last two days. A good many boats got from eight to ten crans, the highest 18 crans. Prices, 14s. and 18s. The fishing ground is from the westward of the harbour to Cove Bay, and the fishing boats from Fife, Eyemouth, &c. There would be a b ou t 400 fishing boats within the limits referred to. BERWICK.-Our herring fishing during the week has been very unsuccessful, and on Wednesday and Thursday nights five boats proceeded to sea. The highest take on Thur day morning was four crans. The fishermen hope, h owever, that a new shoal will set in next week, and make up their season. A number of whales have been seen in the offing, and this would seem to confirm the fishermen in their expectation. Prices are good, being still 14s. to 15s. per cran, and fish good. Several masters of vessels report, that in coming to the Tyne, they have passed through large shoals of herrings above a mile in length, a considerable distance from the land. The pilchard fishery, which is one of the great sources of employment in Cornwall, is proving very productive during the present season. At Mount's-bay no less than 2,000 hogsheads of pilchards have been already taken, while at Penberth, in two days, there were caught between 200 and 300 hogsheads. At Mullion, in one day, the seines enclosed 130 hogsheads ; at Gunwalloe, 30 hog s h ea d s ; and at Portloe, 40 hogsheads. In two nights the boats at the latter port secured 6,000 fish. At Charlestown the catches have varied from 90 to 100 hogsheads. In almost every instance good prices have been realised. At Dawlish, on the Devonshire coast, there have been likewise numerous catches, and the fish sold at 4s. and 4s. 6d. per 100 of six score, or 12s. per 1,000 f or cur i ng. At the latter pl a ce it is calculated that 60,000 fish were caught in three seines. PUBLIC-HOUSE LICENSING.—Quite a change has come over the magistrates acting for the division of the Isle of Wight Heretofore it was next to an impossibility to obtain a spirit license, but at the annual licensing day (Wednes- day last) none who applied were refused if they had complied with the necessary forms. The wants of the neighbourhood were not inquired into as heretofore ; vested rights had no weight in the scale, and the trade was virtually thrown open. This is as it ought to be--- this great monopoly will not last another year, Coming *root,' o their phadows Wore Vora ! • i_ ' .7 - 1 7 ~ "---.'- (/ :, / ,' V g ' ' .-4.-- ' 1 - :--- ff- -- Z- - / .- e_..-e '7 " ) / , r , ' rl rt rl, r 4 a ~ .. or , . . ~ ..7..., : ,.. i e-- rf •_I.) t.

The orders for fitting the Caledonia, 120, as a prison ship have been countermanded. _ The Boscawen, 72, Captain Glanville, sailed from Ply mouth Sound on Sunday morning for the West Indies. The crew of the Illustrious, exercising ship, to Ports mouth for the newly-raised men, Captain R. Harris, were paid wages yesterday.

Twelve horses left Woolwich on Friday last b y the North Ike nt Railway, in charge of a shoeing smith , for Capt. R. F. Mountain's field battery at Bromptort Bar racks, Cl - Latham. The battery is now completed to 86 horses, a - ad has been supplied with a new equipme nt of saddlery 1 mad harness, all of leather, of the new pal ttern. Captain D fountain and the officers of the battery are, inde fatigable in their exertions to perfect this battery, as it is:an impc Ttant experiment to make a company, co7a:iposed it may be said entirely of recruits, thoroughly acquainted with thesir drill, and, subsequently, field battery duties, away fronx head -quarters, where they labour under great disadvan taxes compared with those who learn thoi.r field battery d uties at 'Woolwich. STE/ LM DESPATCH GUN-BOATS FOR Trj-E BALTIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,— I am content to accept the conditions ou la y down reg itrding the essentials of gun-boats ves selsse in qi sestion should be of very little draugh - t, very great spec d, and so armed that the guns they ca TL carry should be effective at a range long enough to keep the craft bus( ?if harmless." In rega rd to the first two conditions the que &.tion is already so lved, as you have stated, the Prussian gi til-boats drawing si Is feet less water than the English, and havi ng two knots more speed. On the remaining point you appear to ask for further informatio n. You say, " Our boats must be cowstantly up with the fleet, and enabled to keep the sea, in all weathers. Could the Prussian boats do this ?" My an swer shall be explicit. I saw the Nix and Sala wander taken out into the Channel in a heavy sea, under - the in spection o f a naval commission appointed to deci II e this very point , as it was one of the conditions of the .accept ance or rejection of the ships; and the four 68-p , D unders (not two nerely, as our vessels carry) were worin.tci with perfect su ecess. Since that time the vessels ha•v , e been three year a in commission in the Baltic and in the North Sea, in all weathers, without manifesting ani defec:t what ever. In seaworthiness, therefore, as well as inc speed, these vesse Is would be more than able to keep thoi:r plaea in the fleei On the subject of armament also you ask for further informatio u, which I give the more willingly that there seems to be misunderstanding on that point. The P russian vessels are about the same size or tonnage as the English ; nevertheless. the Prussian vessels aro so formed as to have room and m eans of working four guns of such size a s those of which the English only carry two. This arras II ;ement is peculiar to, the Prussian boats, and cannot be adopted in our own. The next peculiarity is this,—The two los ig guns carried amid-hips in the Arrow cannot be fired in. a line with the heel ; they CAII only be fired broadside, and trained fort yard to an angle not exceeding 56 deg. oil either side of the I [eel ; so that there are 34 deg. on each aside on which there can be no fire. Suppose, therefore, the se gun boats to be ishasing ; the vessels must deviate 34 dui from their course in order to fire a gun ; or they must yaw round 64 deg, to fi ro alternate guns on either side. On th. s other hand the Pr-ussian boats can lay their course and fi re two guns simultaneously and without interruption in: a line parallel to their keel, and even convergent, on Idle ship chased ; and are equally able, at the same time, to keep up a fire aft on a vessel in chase. Their full sr wecl and their full armament can therefore bo sinaultanom em ployed, which in the Arrow is impossible. The Arrow has no remedy for this state of thinip so long as she keeps leer guns amidships. It was with th.e guns so placed, firing out of the broadside ports, that the experi ments were made the other day. It would be pc Is sible in the Arrow to remove the guns into the bow, but, looking at the size and construction of the vessel and of the guns, I am sure that in a heavy sea that would be au experiment neither convenient nor void of danger. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, London, August 26. AN ETE-WI.fiNESS. THE CASE OF LIEUT. PERLY. It was to have been wished that Lieutenant Perry's case had received a final adjudication ere this. Whatever grounds for hesitation may have existed in tho minds of the members of the military tribunal, bound down as they may have thought themselves to be by the arbitrary rules of such a Court, surely the General Commanding-in• Chief cannot share their uncertainties. It is just possible to conceive that some members of the Court, more true to the traditions of military life than to the inspirations of common sense, or the requirements of even-handed justice, may have accepted the dictates of the official prosecutor as the rule of their decision. We regret that even a doubt as to what the conduct of an assembly of English gentlemen may have been under circumstances such as these should have been allowed to creep in; but, if we do injustice to any of them, they have only to thank the procrastination of the Horse Guards for the misconstruction. We are now well advanced into the second month since proceed ings were first taken against this young gentleman—and for what a cause ! Lord Hardinge must be well aware that he is called upon to take a decision from a review of all the circumstances connected with the case from first to last, and that ho must consider not only what is due to an individual, but to the character of the British army. It is iu his power to wash away the stain which has been thrown upon the quality of a British officer by the con duct of the officers of the 46th Regiment, or he may, upon the other hand, consign the upper ranks of the land service to permanent contempt. - Unless the Commander in-Chief shall take such measures as to him, in the ex ercise of his discretion, may seem the most effective for marking his signal displeasure against those who have so foully abused their trust, we have no hesitation in saying that the lofty pretension to treat the style of an English officer and an English gentleman as synonymous is for ever at an end. To the merit of brute courage persons holding the Queen's commissions in the land service may no doubt lay claim ; but they are not therefore men of honour or honesty, humanity or integrity. They will discover that the public opinion of this country is not to be trifled with, and by that opinion they will find themselves branded as a set of riotous and vulgar bullies, affected with the taints of vice in its lowest and most degrading forms. As gladiators they may serve our turn in the field, and receive , repayment in the shape of pay, medals, or what not ; but from the society of gentlemen and of all women who regard the dignity and purity of their sex they will be banished at once and for ever. We are not speaking simply of the case of young Perry, and of the remedy which it behoves the General Commanding-in-Chief to apply in this particular stance, nor even of the condition of the 46th Regiment only, disgusting as that has been, but of the taint which has spread itself widely throughout the English army. Cer tain persons were acquainted with the real state of affairs, but the public were not aware that an English barrack was nightly made a scene of bullying, and riot, and drunkenness, and profligacy. The public knew not that not only in the 46th Regiment, but in many other regi ments, any youth who, like young Perry, would not, or could not, swim down the dirty stream with his fell , ws, became marked for expulsion from his regiment. We d o not say that in any other regiment in the service such tes timony would have been given as that which the officers of the 46th have lately offered to the Court-martial—we hope things are not so bad as that,—but from all we hear there has been found in too many instances au equa amount of vice within the barrack walls. onlst permitted that Li eu - Pardon us f or saying It seems almost au insult to the understandin g o f any reasonable being to waste any fuwrtahserpearrfegcutmlnyencotrruepeotn; young Perry's case. Even the first Court marti a l b y w hi c h ho was tried could not but allow that his con d uc t , so far it—withaa n s it then f l singularLu o n r d d e under t theirar d indiscretion,h Lieu tenant Perry should be set up a second time as a mark for the vulgar vengeance of his baffled assailants. Could anybody read the minutes of that first trial, and entertain a moment's doubt as to the feeling under which his brother officers acted throughout the whole pro ceeding towards Lieutenant Perry ? They were all in a league against him, from his commanding officer down wards, end yet, because in the course of his defence —for practically it amounted to that—he uttered a few words of well-merited accusation against that commanding officer, ho was put upon his trial again. The form, too, of the trial was such that his unmanly assailants were only required to " forget," and they could in a slipshod way arrive at negative proof at least. As to the value of this assumed forgetfulness, we would only ask any one who may think it worth his while to run over the evidence to contrast the surprising instances of recollection on all points which could tell to young Perry's disadvantage with the never-failing " 2Von nci ricordo" when their answers might havo tended to establish his case. The issues in them selves were perfectly preposterous. Had Col. Garrett been brought before a Court-martial to answer for his general conduct since ho had been in command of the regiment, and had the inquiry been conducted without continuous outrage to all the forms of justice, there might have been reason in such a course. The mere scone that occurred in Greer's room, and the general combination of the regiment against young Perry which marked the sympathy with which such scenes were regarded, constituting in itself a case of grave suspicion against the officer who was respon sible for the condition of the regiment. In place of this it was found more convenient to try the subaltern a second time for asserting that Garrett had called him a "fool" upon a single occasion ; that he had handed the Colonel a letter for tho General of the District ; and that a cer tain Captain Nicholas was a " bully"—this series of as servations being made -in the course of a judicial pro ceeding. Did we not recollect similar instances of op pression and iniquity in the course of our earlier judicial annals, we should speak of the proceedings as simply childish and ridiculous ; but no proceedings can be ridiculous which involve the character and position of an English gentleman. Then came the trial, with all its preposterous circumstances, which we have already so often described that we are fairly sick of the whole sub ject. It is, however, most important that the English public should not "get sick" of the whole subject until full and ample justice has been clone to this young officer by the sentence of his professional superiors, and that not so much for his sake as for their own, and for the general character of the English army. An adverse sentence would affix an indelible stigma upon the character of every English officer, from Lord Ilardingo downwards ; words of censure, qualifying an acquital, would be simply an invitation to derision. There is but one course open to the military authorities if they would continue to enjoy the confidence of the country, and that is to rein state this young gentleman in his former position—or, as we should conceive, to set aside the whole proceedings, on the ground of their patent and preposterous absurdity. The general tone and spirit of barrack life is, however, a point well worthy of the consideration of the General Com manding-in-Chief. Is the mess-room of a regiment to be considered as a sort of tap-room, and the officers' quarters a brothel? Is this the kind of life to which English parents are required to consign their children when they enter upon a military career? Disgraceful and humiliating as the revelations of these Windsor Courts-martial have been, and strongly as we have felt upon the subject, we must at once declare that we do not be lieve that all regiments in the Queen's service are a:: deeply tainted as the 46th. The commanding officers of many regiments are happily men of unstained honour and blameless life, who are in themselves models which younger officers would do well to take for imitation. The scandals of the 46th would never have occurred under their auspices. Again and again we would impress upon the public mind that one great principle of life in the army is, that a regi ment takes its tone from the commanding officer. Let Colonel Garrett be judged by this simple and universal rule. It is not for us to say whether Lord Hardinge will adopt a more quiet or a sterner method of dealing with this officer and the mess-room of the 46th ; but, at least, let him put at end at once to the protracted scandal of those courts-martial upon an inoffensive and outraged young subaltern.—Tines.

THE PRICE OF BREAD.—A somewhat novel appeal, says the Bucks Advertiser, was last week made to the inhabitants of Stony Stratford, in consequence of the combination of the bakers to keep up the price of bread. The crier was sent round the town to call upon the in habitants, now that potatoes were so plentiful and cheap, to abandon, as much as possible, the use of bread, and THE IRON TRADE IN THE NORTH.— Since thereby f orce the bakers to reduce the prices, which are the iron at present ld. and 11d. higher than most towns and mines h ave commence d t o b e wrought in the Cleveland villages around:and the bread, moreover, of very inferior hills, in th e N ort h Ridi ng o f Yorkshire, that branch of qualit .

The screw despatch gun-boat Arrow, 6, Lieut. Jolliffe, is alongside the dockyard, having alterations and repairs effected. She will not be out of the hands of the ship wrights till Thursday next, a period of a week from her coming into harbour. The alterations include some im provements to the windlass for lifting her anchor (which took an hour and a quarter to get up at the conclusion of the trial of her La.ncasterian guns at the Needles, on Tues day last), the increasing the width of her hammock berth ings, &c. These defects did not arise from any strain or damage received at the trial at the Needles, but appear to attach to the original construction of the vessel. She was built by contract in a private yard in the River, but it is to be presumed in accordance with the plans of the Admi ralty officials. An order has come clown to the gun-wharf to-day for her to receive six of Lancaster's shells, in lieu of the six she expended at the Needles trials. The steam despatch gun-vessel Viper, commissioned by Lieutenant Lodder, was yesterday towed from Blackwall to Woolwich. ADMIRALTY INSPECTION.--THE NEW DOCKS AND STEAM WORKS AT KEYHAM. The attention of their lordships during their present visit appear to have been especially directed to the com pletion of the new docks at Keyham, which it is evident they are desirous of having completed by the time of the return of the Baltic fleet. At 5 p.m., on Friday, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Secretary O'Brien, and Colonel Greene, were received at the works of the chief engineer, Mr. Townsend, and the contractor, Mr. Baker, with whom they went round the establish. ment, and closely inspected the docks and basin, work sheds, factory, the offices, dwellings, Fairbairn's great crane, &c. Within the last 12 months considerable progress has been made, and, of the Government grant of 60,0001., obtained o❑ the let of April, about 40,0J0/. has been ex pended. The south wing of the great quadrangle, contain ing the turning, fitting, and erecting shops, is nearly com plete, and the zinc roofing will he over in the course of two or more weeks. All the machinery is ordered, and almost ready for delivery. On the eastern side the engine and boiler-house, for the engine of 50-horse power, and the iron store and copper and brass foundries are ready for roofing. The block plan for the foundry is laid down, and 2,000,000 bricks with a proportion of limestone and granite and the iron work for the roofing, are on the spot. The west front of the quadrangle, which is to contain the gene ral storehouses, has the foundation laid and walls partly up. The steam-kiln at the head of No. 1 dock is roofed in and completed. The dwelling-houses for the officers are being roofed, and arrangements with the Board of Ord nance are nearly completed, by which the authorities will be able to let the contract for the construction of the tun nel to the dockyard. The use of stone from the Govern ment convict-works at Portland has lately been introduced for building purposes at Keyham. Colonel Ward and Colonel Nelson, of the Boyal Engi neers, met their lordships at Plymouth by appointment, iu relation to the speedy completion of the new powder magazine, at Bull Point, in order that the old magazine, which lies on the northern portion of the Keyham site, may be removed for the completion of the steam-yard. Mr. Trickett, the recently-appointed engineer under tho dockyard authorities, has his staff established, and has commenced duty at Keyham. This officer will have the charge of the machinery and boilers belonging to the men of-war. THE HIMALAYA. By letters of the 15th of August, received in South ampton from her Majesty's ship Himalaya, we learn that the Scots Greys had been disembarked on the 10th, in perfect order, at Koulalie, whore they wore then stationed. Lieutenant-Colonel Griffiths, and the officers of the regi ment, had presented separate testimonials and letters of thanks to Captain Kellock, the commander, and to Mr. E. Lane, the purser of the ship, expressive of their thanks for the attentions they received, and of the excellence of the arrangements on board. On the 15th inst. the Hima laya was taking in coals, water, and provisions for 1,500 men for six weeks, but whore the ship was going, or when, was not known. It was the general impression, however, that some great blow was to be struck on the 20th. All the transports at Varna, 400 in number, were said to be provisioned for six weeks. THE LORD AUCKLAND. The Lord Auckland sailed on Sunday for Kurracheo, near Bombay. On the morning of departure, Major- General. Sir Harry Smith addressed the soldiers on the necessity of observing strict discipline, and strongly re commended to the officers the practice of frequent parade. In compliance with the decision of a medical board, as sembled under the authority of the Horse Guards, the ship has been furnished with a stock of brandy, turpentine, and other medical stores, and some alterations have been made in her fitments. THE EPIDEMIC. When the epidemic had entirely disappeared from the receiving ship Endywion, the troops were placed on their former diet, and it is very remarkable, taken in connection with the statement which appeared in The Sun, that im mediately porter was served out to the men diarrhoea recommenced. Through this complaint and low fever, two soldiers were sent to the Military Hospital on the 20th inst., seven on the 21st, and two on the 22d, but they are all convalescent, and most have returned to the ship. As soon as the ill effects of the porter were c'early de monstrated, its use was discontinued and rum substituted. The chloride of zinc has proved to be a most useful disin fectual. It has been freely used on board the Lord Auck land and on board the hospital ship Andromeda, where scarcely any sickness has occurred among the attendants and nurses. NEW AMBULANCE WAGGON. An inspection took place at the Royal Arsenal yester day of a now plan, by a Mr. Glover, for an ambulance or hospital waggon, for conveying the sick or wounded from the battle-field to have medical or surgical attendance. The ambulance waggons already sent to the East were made to carry four sick or wounded —two on the bottom of the waggon, supported by springs over the axletree, and two swung, as it were, in cots suspended from a roof thrown over the waggon, the lying position of the persons in the cots being about six feet from the ground, and the roof of the waggon above eight feet high. Mr. Glover, by his plan, obviates the great height of the position of the bodies in the others, and places the two lowest about two feet from the ground, and the two highest about four feet. ile accomplishes his object by making his axle tree on a similar principle to those used by the H ansom cabs, the perpendicular portion of the axle being about a foot higher than the centre of the nave of the wheel. When not in use, carrying sick or wounded persons, about a foot in length at the head and tail folds up, an d the vehicle may be used as a car for the conveyance of per sons in good health. The car has the advantage of being light, and the horse is prevented from doing any injury when given to kicking by being enclosed in a manner exactly the same as in the Hansom cabs. AMMUNITION FOR SMALL ARMS. A circular (No. 159) has just boon issued by the Admi ralty relative to ammunition for small arms :—' As riffled muskets of tho undermentioned description are, from various causes, now in use on board of her Majesty's ships as Well as the ordinary smooth bored muskets, my 4F.44 Omminioan of tin 4,0 tin do. - mot C~ [PRICE SD. THE NEW BEER BILL. meeting of the licensed victuallers of the metropolis was held yesterday at the Golden Eagle, Mile-end-road, f , r the purpose of taking into consideration the present position of that body with reference to the provisions of fo thr forming themselves into a new society, to be called "The Licensed Victuallers' Defence kpsociation."• Mr. Foster, of St. John's-gate, C/erkenwell, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, stated that he was sorry to see so small an attendanc e of persons pre sent; but he accounted for it - by meetings baring been advertised to be held in all the districts of the metropolis, and not from any lukewarmness in the cause. Their object in meeting together was to form a society to pro tect their interests, and not only theirs, but the interests Hof the public, which had been most shamefully invaded. The act which had been passed through the honse in such a hasty and disgraceful manner would be prejudi-. 1 cial to their interests, but would not have the effect sup ! posed, for it gave plenty of time to a drunken man to get intoxicated, and if it was meant to allow them (the publicans) time to go to church it was a decided failure, for they were permitted to open their doors while the church bells were ringing. If they wanted to make people go to church, they had better close the public houses altogether, and pass an act for that purpose. Seeing that they were the most heavily taxed trades men in the world, that they had to pay for their licences, and had to put up with all the inconveniences of the billeting system, he thought it was too bad that they should be compelled to close their houses without being consulted, or without at least having some of their taxes remitted. He concluded by stating that it was for the interest of all to join this society, and by calling upon the secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting. The minutes having been read, Mr. SnrEs moved the first resolution, to the effect " That this meeting, approving of the movement . made in the fo rma ti on o f th e Li cense d Vi ctua ll ers Defence Society, pledge themselves to do all in their power to forward th e o bj ects o f t h at assoc i at i on. He complained strongly of the conduct of those who had pretended to represent them, and stated that it was a falsehood to describe the tradesmen of the city of Lon don as being indifferent to the effect the new bill would have upon their fellow-tradesmen and the public: The paper which was supposed to represent them had done all in its power to crush this new society by putting forth false and garbled reports of its meetings ; and when several of its members bad waited upon the Incorporated Society, who not only took alleading part in that but in all their other societies, they had been told to keep quiet. It was disgraceful that the hardworking man who took his wife and children to Greenwich or Hampstead should be compelled to go without his refreshment. They had been told to wait until Parliament met, but now was the time for agitation, for the working classes would not take long country walks in Decem ber, and he was of opinion that they ought to be prepared for any emergency, and that they ought to get up meetings and organisations for the purpose of having petitions ready for presentation to both houses of Parliament. If the trade had taken the bill in their own hands, instead of trusting it to the Protection So ciety, it would not have passed in its present form, and he thought it was very great presumption for a few gen tlemen to give their assent to the provisions of such a bill without calling a general meeting of the trade—it was, in fact, a presumption which they had no warrant for taking. It was not only the case of the publicans, but it was the case of the public. Were the numerous parties, who went out of town on a Sunday, after work ing hard every day in the week, to be bartered away by three or four gentl emen. (Cries of " Sold, " and great cheering.) Mr. BUTTERFIELD seconded the motion. Mr. KINSELLAR said that he had been requested by Mr. Pitcher, of St. George's-road, to state that several clubs met at his house and afterwards took excursions into the country, and on their return they could get no refreshment. The consequence was to him a loss of something like 20/. He considered that the public had a large interest in the matter, and thought they should have a voice in the decision of this question. There was no doubt that the Protection Society had passed this measure, for all that they had done to oppose this bill was to delay the third reading from nine until ten o'clock. Mr. PETO said that he heartily approved of this new society, arid stated that the only good this bill had done and would do was to benefit the illicit trader, who had no property at stake, and who did not care about losing his license. The motion was then put, and carried nem. dis. Mr. GRIMES moved the next resolution, as follows : " That this meeting, representing as it does both the interests of the trade and the feeling of the public, whilst strongly deprecating the silence of the Morning Advertiser, their supposed organ, with respect to the late act, and its garbled reports of meetings held to effect an alteration, does warmly express its thanks to such portion of the daily and weekly press as has advocated the justice of the present movement, and faithfully re corded matters of such great and universal importance." He entered at great length into the matters complained of, and remarked that the paper which was supposed to represent their interests had completely sold them. The heads of that paper, who were all con ❑ected with the Sabbatarian party, had told him, when he waited upon them in company with a deputation of other gentlemen that they had better remain quiet and allow this sop in the pan to be given to the reli gious party in the House of Commons, or else they might suffer when the whole question of the public-houses came before the Legislature, but was of opinion that they had taken the sop themselves. That paper had at first refused their advertisements, but they were after wards obliged. Ho concluded by moving the reso lution. Mr. SARRIS seconded the motion, which, after a long conversation, was put and carried, and the meeting separated. THE NEW BEER LAW-WHO IS A TRA- VELLE.R? Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. R. Luce, landlord of the King's Arms Hotel, Hampton Court, appeared before Col. Wood, and a bench of magistrates, sitting in petty ses sion at Hampton, to answer on summons the complaint of the police authorities, for keeping his house open on the 20th inst., during the hours, from half-past two to six p.m., prohibited by the recent act for the better re gulation of the sale of beer on Sundays. Mr. Guy, of the firm of Guy, Read, and Harris, of Cannon-row, Westminster, solicitors for the Metropo litan and Suburban Protection Society, appeared for the defence. The clerk having read the charge. Mr. Guy stated that he was willing to admit all the facts of his client having kept his house open and having supplied his customers with refreshments, in the convic tion that they were Lona fide travellers within the meaning of the act. Colonel Wood thought that, for the regularity of their proceedings, it would be advisable to hear evidence on the point. Mr. Harden, J.P., remarked that the present was a criminal and not a civil proceeding, and could not, there fore, be decided on a mere admission of facts on both sides. Sergeant C. Churchill, 29 V, was then sworn, and de posed that on the 20th instant, between half-past three and four p.m., he entered the establishment of the defendant, when he found in one room twelve per sons taking refreshments, others not, wine and beer being before them on the table. He also entered three other rooms. In one he found two persons, whom the landlord told him formed a private party. In the third room, No. 10, there were four persons having refreshment, one of whom, when questioned to that effect, replied that he was a traveller ; but that when witness further inquired if he had come to see the beauties of the palace, he made no reply ; that thereon the landlord stated that he (witness) had no right to put such questions to his customers. Witness remarked that No. 10 was painted on the door, and asked if it was entered with the Excise, claiming his right to enter it if were, to which question the defendant replied in the affirmative. Mr. Guy cross-examined the witness, and elicited from him that the persons whom he found on the premises were all strangers, as far as he knew, to the neighbour. hood, and that he had no doubt that they had arrived in their own vehicles, by railway, or by omnibus. They had all the appearance of being travellers. He did not notice the ball-book, in which the defendant required each person requesting refreshment during the prohibited hours to subscribe, giving his address or statement to the effect that he was a bona fide traveller, but had the Sunday previous heard from him that he kept such a book. The wine and beer on the tables did not form a great quantity, and did not exceed the limit of reason. able refreshment with dinner or lunch. This was the case for the prosecution: t Colonel o taketlt o W h a o l o l d b oo stated that as evidencethe inbenchdefence, ad determined r m thatine majority of them were of opinion that the persons served' by Mr. Luce were travellers within the meaning of the act, and that the summons should be dismissed.

At the Hammersmith Police Court, the Res. Mamas Tierney Ferguson, D.D., the Roman Catholic priest o St. Thomas's chapel, in the Fulham-fields was charged with having performed a mar r i age i n the absence of the registrar, contrary to the statute. Mr. Martin attended on behalf of the complainant, an Mr. Te Ally Jones; solicitor, of Hammersmith, also app r eared to watch the case for the Board of Guardians of the Fulham Union. Mr. Harting, of Lincoln's-inn fields, attended for the rev. defendant. Mr. Alfred Taylor, the chief clerk, was about to read the summons to the defendant, to ascertain if he pleaded guilty or not guilty, when Mr. Harting submitted to his worship that limn:mole as the case could not be settled in that court, it would be advisable to send the matter at once to the Central Criminal Court, and he would put in bail to any amount for the appearance of Dr. Ferguson at the sessions. Mr. Paynter was unable to deal with the case in that manner, and said he was bound to treat it as he would any other chsrge of felony, and therefore he - nust go int o the Case for the purpose of talting the depositions. Mr. Martin said if Prince Albert was charged with felony, the depositions would have to be taken in the usual way. Mr. Peynter observed that he was bound to treat Dr. Ferguson as he would any other individual. Mr. Harting explained that it was not on that account that he suggested the case should at once be sent to the sessions, but for the purpose of saving the time of the court. Mr. Paynter then inquired if Dr. Ferguson was in attendance The Rev. Mr. Ferguson, who had been sitting at the side of his professional adviser, here rose and replied in the affirmative. Mr. Paynter told the defendant that he might remain sitting until after Mr. Martin had concluded his obser vations euepmopnlatian,hnecast e. a very respectable looking girl, having been sworn, said, educated in the Protestant fa i th . M y friends near Brent wood, in Essex, where I wa s brought up. I was I was in service in Fulharri.t fileids .".b w o i u th t t a wo g y e ea nt r le s m a a go n named Gosling. While there beeame acquainted with Thomas Cokely. He was a Roman Catholic. He promised me marriage, and in consequence of that a closer intimacy took place between us, and I became in the family way. I had a little money 91.—and he broke op en my box aid tosaved up—about gave k it it out. I threatened to prosecut e hi m , and he I went to Mr. Cornell's office by myself, andlnoebtaibened a certificate for the marria ge t o t a k e place in Holland street Chapel. I gave it to the man (Cokely). I went to Mr. Strowther two or three days before the marriage took place, but I did not see him. I s aw a l a d y there. The night before the marriage I saw Dr. Ferguson in the chapel. The defendant asked me if I had a mind to be married in his chapel. He had previously tak e* Cokely into the vestry-room, and he told me that Cokely had no objection. I said I didn't mind, but the certificate mentioned Holland-street Chapel. He said the certificate did not signify, and that he could marry us. She did not see Cokely give the defendant the certificate, but he had the certificate in his hand when he said the certificate was not material. The defendant would have married us then, but we had not the fees. She did not hear him say that, but she understood he told Cokely so in the vestry-room. After the defendant told me there was no need for the certificate, he said come down in the morning and I'll marry you. He told me that he would marry us in private, and that I was to say nothing about it. He told me that after he had married me. Mr. Paynter— I don't understand you. Do you mean to say that he told you he had married you in private after he had married you ? Witness--No, sir. He told me before we were mar ried that he would marry me in private, and after the marriage took place he told me to say nothing about it. Examination continued—l went to the chapel the next morning and sat down. There were several persons there. They were attending mass. I saw Dr. Ferguson first at the altar. He afterwards went into the vestry, and when he came out he beckoned me to him. I went into the vestry and Cokeiy followed me. The defendant then closed the door. Mr. Paynter—Did Dr. Ferguson change his dress when he left the altar, or did he put anything else on ? The Witness—No, sir. He married us in the same dress that be wore in the altar. The defendant said something in Latin. I could not understand what it was. He read it from a book. Cokely asked for his father to come in, and the defendant said there was no need for any witness, but told Cokely he might be pre sent. His father came in, and we were the only persons in the room all the time. I said, in English, " I take thee, Thomas Cokely, for my wedded husband •" and Thomas Cokely said, "I take thee, Hannah Sarah Steel, for my wedded wife." Mr. Martin—Was that all that was said in English ? The Witness—No, sir. A ring and a shilling were put in my hand, and Cokely had to say, I give thee gold and silver. There was something else added, but I don't recollect what it was. We had to repeat it after Dr. Ferguson. I got the certificate produced from the defendant, es I wanted to satisfy my friends that I was married. I saw the defendant write it. He copied it from no book. The certificate was handed in, and it read as follows : —" These are to certify, that Hannah Sarah Steel and Thomas Cokely were married on the Bth of September, 1853. Thomas Tierney Ferguson, D.D., St. Thomas's Chapel, September 16." Examination continued—l took the certificate to my father, and he would not believe I was married, and he turned me out. I afterwards went to Dr. Ferguson, and told him that my father was not satisfied, and he said he could not help it, and that he could not give me another certificate. He put a shilling into my band and told me not to say anything about it. Mr. Martin—Did he tell you not to disgrace yourself by going into a court ? Witness—He did not say so, but sent out that mes sage by his servant. Harting, upon being asked if he had any ques tions to put to the witness, said, " I hays no questions to ask." Mr. Martin—At this stage of the proceedings I have to ask for an adjournment, for the purpose of having the attendance of Mr. Strowther, who was unable to appear this day in consequence of an attack of illness. Mr. Paynter—Then on the next occasion Mr. Taylor (the chief clerk), who understands the case from what has been stated, will be able to take the depositions. It will not last long, and all the proceedings will be of a formal character. I suppose Mr. Strowther is the de puty-registrar ? ?fir. Cornell—No Sir. Mr. Strowther's office is quits distinct to mine. He is the registrar of the marriages for the whole of my district, and it is his duty to be pre sent at all these marriages and to record them in what is termed the " marriage register book." Mr. Paynter—W hat do you Understand covers a re gistered building —would it include the vestry-room Mr. Cornell—Yes, sir, I should say it would. If the vestry-room is the usual place for solemnising marriages, then I think that would be sufficient. I know that marriages are very often performed in these places. Mr. Paynter—l think it will be necessary, Martin, to have evidence that marriages are performed in the vestry room of the chapel. Mr. Martin—l don't think from what I have heard that it is usual to marry in the vestry. Mr. Paynter—At all events you must have evidence to prove one way or the other. Mr. Harting—l am prepared with bail to any amount. Mr. Paynter—l must have very good bail, and to a large amount, for the defendant's appearance. It is a very serious offence. I'll accept two sureties in 400/. each, and herself in 8001. Mr. Harting said his client had no idea of avoiding the inquiry, and that he was anxious fcr the fullest in vestigation. Substantial bail having been put in, the defendwat immediately retired with his friends. THE MOORS, FORESTS, AND RIVERS.—The moors (says the Inverness Courier) continue to yield abundant sport, and the birds ne ver were i n fi ner condition at this season of the year. We resume our notes of the sport at a few of the best northern moors. Mr, Akroyd and Mr. Edwards have had satisfactory sport at Glenshero during the last week, Mr. Ak. royd having killed 280 brace, and Mr. Edwards 230 brace. Mr. Wyn Williams and his friends have had excellent sport on the Glen-Tulchen moors ; they killed 736 brace in the first six days, and found the birds numerous, strong, and healthy. Mr. Archibald Hastie, M.P., and Mr. Stephenson have been shooting on the Duriearn moors ; on the 12th, the former bagged 321 b race grouse and a hare, and the flamer 40 brac e an d 2 hares ; on the 14th, shooting together, they bagged 36 brace in a few hours.
