This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, , t d is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it g ratuitously affords medic a l a d v i ce an d me di c i ne to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

The Late Triple Cab Murder, ---~-- It will be recollected that at the adjourned in quest held before Dr. Lankester, at St. Mury's Hospital, on the bodies of Mrs, Hunt and her two children, when Harriett Blake, the unmarried sister of the former, was called up to give evidence, she handed to the coroner a packet of letters which she had received during the previous 12 months from the murdered woman. The coroner at the time thought it was unnecessary to read them, but said they might be reserved in case it was felt desirable in the course of the inquiry that they should be referred to. This was not done, and the jury re corded their verdict of " Wilful murder" against the suicide Samuel William Hunt. A subsequent perusal of the letters which were placed in the hands of the Court proves elicit had they been read a greater amount of light would have been thrown by them upon the tragical event and the circum stances which led to it than almost all the evidence produced. They are now subjoined, and a perusal of them will not only deepen the interest felt in this horrible murder, but prove beyond a doubt that from the commencement of the year down almost to the period of the murder the unfortunate woman had feared that such would be the end of her career, in consequence of the repeated threats and brutal violence of her worthless husband. That some such suspicion was ever present to the poor creature's mind is evident, as, in addition to her statements as to Hunt's attempts to poison her, she almost invariably concludes with an injunction to her sister to keep her letters. The first letter, en closed in an envelope, bearing the most-mark the 23d of January, 1863, is addressed (as they all .are) to " Miss H, Blake, 124, St. John-street, Smith field, City," and is as follows: — Friday, January. 1863. Dear Harriett—l am very unhappy, and sorry to hear you are' the same. Been such a dreadful row. I don't know what I shall do. Don't come. He said this morning he shall come and see all our relations to-night, and ask them all to our house, and then they should see how he treated me. John, and Ann, and all should come to-night. So don't, I pray you, any of you come. So unhappy. He calls me such names, and wished last night a dreadful wish, and then said, "If he chose to kill sue he could do it in such a manner he would not be found out; he could melt me to nothing, all but my hair." So don't come, if he comes to ask any of you. I pray don't. What shall I do ?—and don't you say much to him, for my sake. I hope I shall see you some time or other. Good-bye. In haste. P.S.—Don't let him think you know anything. He don't know I have sent this letter, mind. The next bears the postmark Feb. 27, and runs thus : Friday, February. Dear Harriett,--What am Itodo ? I wish I knew. I laid down last night before he came home, and he had not got a key to get in with, so ho had to get in at the window, and I did not hear him. Of course there was a row. He beat my head with both his hands just like a ball. I have got a black eye this morning. lam not to eat, drink, nor sleep with him again. I cannot be more unhappy than now, I don't think. if you get this in time come over to night; if not come over to-morrow morning. If you can come to-night I shall like it.—l remain your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. Ann-cottage, Wellington-road, Coal-harbour-lane, Camberwell, March 11, Dear Harriett,—My life has come to such a dreadful thing now I cannot tell what will become of me. Last week he was out two days and one night. Yesterday he came home at a quarter to 2 in the afternoon, and then our house was a very dreadful scene. I have gat my shoulder cut open —in fact, lam bruised from head to foot,. He broke a dish by throwing at me, but I made an escape by holding down my head, and then it went through the window. After that he knocked me down and kicked me in a most fearful man ner. I have got bruises all over me, and the second black eye in ten days. Now, suppose you were a wife, would you like your husband to come and tell you he had paid £1 ls. for seats in St. Martin's Churchyard for him and his woman ? Now, would you like that ? and then to end the day the) go to the Lyceum to wind up. Now, you must think it a very good life I lead here. lam in such a fix I don't know what to do. I don't sleep with him. I wish I was anywhere but where I write this letter now. Do come to-morrow night by 5 o'clock. If Ido not see you I must see some one who will take pity on we.—l remain, your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. The next letter bears date June 16, 1863, and proceeds : Dear Harriett,—l don't think I will be many days before me and William part, and will you try and come and see me before we do ?—to-morrow, soon, in the morning. Do come, pray; lam quite broken-hearted. I have plenty of faults, I know, but God knows what I am, and now I am in such a state with blows I can scarcely move. I have got ine three inches long. Do come to-morrow morning. If I do not sea you to-morrow I will write to you where I go to.—l remain your unhappy sister, P,S —Pray come. M. HUNT. July 23, 1863. Dear Harriett,—l hope you got home before the rain came on. I met William in the Westminster-road, and of course he don't like the last bonnet I made. You remember the one I had on, I dare say—the one I had on Monday— so of course he began to quarrel with me and walk some dis tance beyond me, so I had to walk very fast to keep up to him, and when he got home he said if he had got home be. fore I did he should have broken the street door open, and then he went on talking, and got in such a rage that I thought I should not have been alive this morning to do this. First of all he jumped up from his tea and took up a knife and thrust it at me, and said he would kill me if I spoke a word to him; and I said I must say what I think; so then he took up a chair and threw it at me. It fell upon my thigh, and this morning I have got a bruise the size of the middle of my hand. So my life is a serious one, and it makes me very unhappy—indecd, I am now all of a tremble when I think how will it end. He threatens me if I say I will do anything, so I don't know what to do. Keep this letter in your possession; do not de stroy it. He says lam dissatisfied with everything, but you know better than that; and he says I am dreadful wasteful in everything, and that you know to be false- Mine is a bad life. Perhaps I shall see you over at my house some time this week, in tho evening. lam very unhappy, because I have a great deal more to tell you. lam sorry to have to write such a painful letter to you, but it is not my fault. _ _ Good•bye, with a heart full of sorry (sorrow), I remain Your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. The postmark on the next letter is July 25 :—. _ Saturday Morning, July —. Dear Harriett, —We got home at 11 o'clock. He said he had been out to supper to a Mr. Monday, a friend of his, so I told him you had come to see me and you waited till after 10. He has injured his left arm in some way ; when he came he had got it in a sling, so I don't know how that came—but when he came in the bedro om I said, "Look at my leg," and he said he wished I had got a dozen more like it (the bruise, I mean) —so he said, in a very sneering way, " I suppose you did not tell everyone what I had done ?" So he says to me, H o ld your tongue, I have got an invi tation for you,' so I did not make any reply, but kept look ing at my leg all the time he kept talking. Do not destroy this. Good bye. August 4. Dear Harriett—l expected you last F r id ay night, and I kept the lamp burning until nearly 10 o'clock, and then I thought you would come on Monday, b u t I was disap pointed. Do you think you can on Wednesday to dinner ? I shall be veiy happy to see y o u. Do come. I was so very ill on Saturday that I was obliged to lie down on my bed all the morning. I could , not do anything in the shape of work and you know how that annoys me. He is just the same— if anything, worse. Never spoke a kind word yet; and my leg is still very painful to me. Satur day night was a very sad night for me. I don't think there are any more happy days for me in store. My life is quite a blank. I have lived upon hope for some time, and that has nearly died out ; but I don't know who will be first, hope or myself. I write with a sad heart to you. Do co me on Wednesday to dinner. Come soon. I have a deal to tell you. Now, come. Farewell to all for present.—Monday night, August 4. P.S.—Keep this. Saturday Morning, August. Dear Harriett,—Dear H., I wrote to you Friday night, and now Saturday morning. I dare sa y you will wonder why, but Friday night while I were in bed I was taken ill and thought 1 was going to die, for the pain came on at my heart. I felt I could not breathe for a few minutes, and had to cough and sit up and thump myself and groan, but it went off after some time, and I said to Nv, " What shall I do ? and he said, "Do not alarm yourself ; it will be right soon."—Keep this. August 29. Dear Harriett,--Ile is just the same. He wanton dread ful last night, and I said if my life was not more pleasant we had better separate ; and ho said, " Yea, we could have that, but not out of the house." Mind, I tell you this ; I don't think my life is safe with him, and I have thought so for some time. I must not say a word without I receive a blow, and that I do not understand. It was a fearful night last night. He says there is not any l aw f or me , I need I,Qt expect that and the names he called me was such I should not like to say. He dared me to take any proceed ings against him, but, nevertheless, I don't think I am safe with him. It's a very sad life, mine. I would sooner be in the workhouse than remain with such a man ; but what lamto do I don't know. He has got all my faults by heart, ho says; of course not any of his own, but I know his very well. I say good-bye with an aching heart, and it won't be changed until there is a change in some way. Keep this (on the top of the last side). . _ g is very bad. Friday Mo rn i ng ( no d ate ) . Dear Harriett,—Pray do come over this evening as soon as you can, for I think William is mad , Pray come, for he has quite killedall w th tt e h b h ir im ds . this mooomrne.ingm(yFtrhidiah 3 7 ), and I feel I don't know what to do for th e be s t , for my life is quite a trouble to me throughhim. Do not destroy this. Do come. Saturday, Sept., 1863. unsaafe Dear Harriett,—l am very ill this morning and very un happy. You can ask John what I had better do about the paper I am to agree to. You heard what he said last night, that he should not allow me any money to keep me with ; so ask John if he was me whether he would do that. You may tell him lam very badly treated. We cannot go on in the unhappy state we are going on in; there must be some change one way or other—not a word, not a look is right. You can say that I ache very much. Tell John to send word by you on Monday. I shall expect you either to dinner or in the evening ; do come. If you come in the evening I shall have something to say to you, but come to dinner if possible. You heard the dreadful way he talks to me ; it's quite shocking to bear with. lam very unhappy, You heard him say, too, if I died he should send me to the surgeons, and not bury me ;—there's dreadful talk 1 There's not any reason in him, see, in anything 1 So unhappy I Do come ; only you to say a word to. Good-bye. With an aching heart. Keep this. _ _ _ Monday Morning, Sept., 1863. Dear Harriett,—Will you come and see me soon as you can this week ? If you do not come Ido not think you will ever see me again. I have had a very bad eye ; it's just getting better. I thought I should have lost the sight of it; it's very weak now. Do come, if it's only for an hour. I am in great trouble—worse than I ever was. Good-bye.— I am, your uahappy sister, M. HUNT. The last letter was written by the unfortunate de ceased in October last, only a week or so before her tragical end ; but the postmark on the envelope, showing the actual date, is not legible. It was as follows, and appears to fortell her death ; Saturday, October, 1863, Dear Harriett,—Never let it surprise yen when you hear lam dead. I feel quite certain I cannot go on much longer with my husband. He gets worse every day and night of my life. If you knew and could see all—a dog would pity me; bat I knew you feel for me all you can. I cannot say much in these lines to you, but pity me, and come on Monday. Do not let a shower of rain prevent you. If I do not see you on Monday I shall think I have not a friend in this world. I wish I was good enough to die, but I must try and make myself good, as what he wants, he says, is to see me dead ; then he would laugh, and think what a good thing to think I am gone from this world. What will become of me ? I speak the truth when I say I shall die with a broken heart. We have all our faults, but I have got more than any one, so he says. I con clude with a sad heart, and my eyes so full I can scarcely see what lam writing to you. I don't think I have a friend; if I have, they should have seen last night--they would pity me. This letter is quite wet with my tears. Keep this. It will be observed as a remarkable circumstance that throughout the poor woman never once men tions a word about her children. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, METROPOLITAN DISTRICT. Notice has been given of intended applications to Parlia ment to incorporate a company for the purpose of comple ting an inner circle of railways within London, north of the Thames, and also an outer circle round the metropolis, north and south of the Thames, consisting of 34 railways and junctions with existing railways. The main outer circle is proposed to commence at Wandsworth by a junction with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway —there to form a junction with the Crystal Palace line at Clapham—also to form two junctions with the West London Extension Rail way at Battersea—thence to Old Brompton and Notting hill, forming three junctions with the West London Rail way, a jnnction with the Hammersmith and City Railway at Kensington, a junction with the Great Western at Pad dington, the London and North-Western at Kilburn and the Edgware-road, the Midland extension by two junctions at Kilburn-lane, the Hampstead junction near the Finch ley-road station, and also a junction with the Midland ex tension in Finchley-road, the Hampstead junction at Ken tish-town, the Great Northern at Seven Sisters-road, the Great Eastern near Stamford-hill and its Stratford branch at Hackney, the North London Railway with two junctions at Hackney Wick station, the London and Blackwall near Stratford, the London, Brighton, and South Coast at Old Kent• road and New-cross station, the South -Eastern at New-cross. The main inner circle is proposed to commence at Brompton, thence to Cannon-row, Westminster, to Can non-street, city, and the Blackwall Railway, Fenchurch street. Power to enable all those companies to subscribe and make traffic arrangements. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Nov. 21. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) The Court sat this day at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of hearing rate appeals. The appeals en tered for hearing were as follows :—The United Kingdom Eiectrio Telegraph Company, against a poor rate of the township of Uxbridge; the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, against a poor rate of St Mary, Whitechapel ; the Metropolitan Railway Company, against a poor rate of the parish of Maryleboae, dated April, 1863 ; and another appeal by the same company against a poor rate of the parish of St Sepulchre, for the year 1863. After a short discussion, the rating of the United King dom Electric Telegraph Company in respect of their station at Uxbridge was confirmed. THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY, APPEL LANTS; THE PARISH OF WIIITECILAPEL, RESPONDENTS. Mr. Clarke appeared for the appellants ; Mr. Metcalfe for the respondents. Mr. Clarke said this was an appeal against a rate made by the overseers of the parish of St Mary, Whitechapel, on the mains only of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Com pany laid down through that parish from the works at Bow common to the City of London,where the gas was consumed The actual expenditure was aboutXB,ooo, and the company urged that they ought only to be called upon to pay 4 per cent., which would be £320, Mr. Metcalfe having addressed the Court for the parish, called Mr. Lee, who proved that a contractor would require 6 per cent. on the outlay, and that there ought to be £l5O in respect of land, making a total of £530. The Assistant-Judge, after conferring with the other magistrates, reduced the rate to £313, and gave t axe d cost s incurred since July. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY, APPELLANTS; THE PARISH OF ST MARYLEBONE, nEsroNDENTs. On this case being called on, Mr. Keane, on the part of the parish, took a preliminary objection to the appeal being heard. Under a local act of Parliament, the appellants against a !rate were required to go before the vestry and state the grounds of their appeal. In this case the Metropolitan Railway Company merely stated that they appealed against the rate, but offered no reasons why they should not pay it. This omission he held to be fatal, as the appeal was informal, the vestry being the first tribunal to which the merits of the appeal ought to have been stated. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Cripps argued that this court was the proper place where the grounds of the appeal should be heard—that they had given notice of appeal, and were now come, with all their witnesses, prepared to go into the question. The Assistant-Judge held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the appeal. In the appeal of the Metropolitan Railway Company against a poor rate of St. Sepulchre, the rate was reduced from £1,250 to £397, by consent, without costs on either side. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the company, and Mr. Poland for theyarish.

Samuel Richardson was over 50 years of age when morality was encouraged and virtue rewarded in the pages of " Pamela."

The royal mail steamship Canada, from Boston on the 11th, and Halifax on the 13th, arrived here at nine a.m. to-day, with 120 passengers and 77,300 dols. in specie. She landed five passengers, and all her wilt ; consisting of 98 sacks, and proceeded at 9,30, All well. The Canada experienced severe easterly weather throughout her passage. The Canada brings no later news via Halifax, telegraphic communication between that place and New York having been interrupted. NEW YOtE., Nov. 10 (Afternoon). General Lee has retreated beyond the Rapidan. General Meade is still pressing forward ; his army has reached Culpepper Court-house. General Buford's cavalry has occupied Culpepper. The object of General Meade's movement is to divert the Confederates from operating against General Burnside. The latter is reported to have been superseded by General Foster. Rumours are current that General Burnside has met with a disaster. NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (Evening). A body of 9,000 Confederates is on its march to attack General Blunt, who is proceeding with 1,800 cavalry and an immense supply train to Fort Smith, Arkansas. . _ Gen. Meade's movement to the Rappahannock completely surprised the Confederates. Nearly all their force on the north s;de of the river was cap tured. . The Southern journals anticipate an early en gagement in Chattanooga. They consider Grant's late movements in Lookout Valley have counter. acted the advantage Bragg gained at Chickamauga, and may enable Grant to winter in Chattanooga. A portion of Federal General Sherman's forces is reported to be advancing from Tuscalouse on Selina, Alabama. The Confederates who are operating against Burnside have occupied London, Tennessee, 23 miles from Knoxville. It is rumoured that an engage ment has taken place between this force and Burn side, resulting unfavourably to the latter. The Confederates have been defeated in two en gagements in Western Virginia. Gen. Banks' expedition, consisting of 17 trans ports and three war vessels, left Now Orleans on the 27th ult., it is supposed for Sabine Pass. President Jeff. Davis made a speech at Charles ton. He believed Charleston never would be taken. But if captured, he desired the city should be a mass of ruins. If Charleston was beleaguered on every side, reinforcements would be sent in proportion to the strength. It is semi-officially announced that Mr. Seward has received information that the French Govern ment has stopped the building of Confederate iron clads in French ports. Mechanics and other large bodies of working men in New York and in Boston have struck for higher wages, stopping the construction of Government vessels, and injuring other branches of trade. The steamer Panama. from Mexico, has arrived at New York to coal. She has Marshal Forey on board, who has gone incognito to visit the Falls of the Niagara. Southern journals assert that the prisoners at Richmond receive proper food. The steamer Mail has been captured, and has arrived at Key West. The schooners Herald, Martha, and Jane have been captured. Richmond papers of the 6th contain the follow ing telegram:: — ATLANTA, Nov. 4. The Yankees maintain possession of Racoon Val ley, having been heavily reinfore:d. They shell our forces incessantly. The Yankee advance hes reached Florence. We occupy Loudon, which places us within 23 miles of Knoxville and behind the defences of the enemy. The enemy are rioting near Huntsville, committing great depredations. Bragg can muzzle the telegraph, but he cannot the mails. The enemy have gained important ad vantages within the last 48 hours, which, unless they are counteracted, will place the question of subsisting his army at Chattanooga beyond all doubt. The commander at Rome has received a telegram from Selma, Alabama, stating that heavy force of Yankee mounted infantry had reached Tuscaloosa en route for Selma. They come from Tupelo by the same route that Bragg's army came by last summer. General Grant is said to have telegraphed to the War Department that two of General Burnside's advanced positions have been assailed and captured by the Confederates, who made prisoners of parts of two regiments that were holding possession at the time. The Richmond papers contain the following :- 1 Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia. General S. Cooper,—ln advance of a detailed report, I have the honour to submit, for theine of fmthae tion of the department, the followi_tyitoh the designu,tii n recent operations of this army : I . • v of bringing on an engagemen t with the Federal army, which encamped around Culpepper Court house, extending to the Rapidan, this army crossed that river on the 9th inst ., aud advanced by way of Madison Court-house. O ur progress was neces sarily slow, as the march was by circuitous and d the observation concealed roads, in crder to avoid of the enemy. the co mmands of Stuart and Lee Near that place united on the afternoon of the 11th, and after a sever e engagement d ro ve the enemy's cavalry across e k with severe loss. On the morn the Rappaha nno 1 2th the army marched in two colum ns, with ing of the of reaching the Orange and Alex andriathe design Railroad, north of the river, and interrupt_ t r eat of the enemy. ing the re General Fitz-Lee, with his cavalry division and a detachment of infantry, remained to hold our lines south of the Rapidan. General Stuart, with Ramp ton's division, moved on the right of the column. Wit h a portion of his command he attacked the ad vance of the enemy near James city, on the 10th, and drove them back towards Culpepper. ;Our main body arrived near that place on the 11th inst., and discovered that the enemy had retreated towards the Rappahannock, ruinin g or destroying his stores. We were compelled to halt during the rest of the day to provision the troops, but the cavalry under General Stuart continued to press the enemy's rear guard to wards the R appahannock. A large force of Federal cavalry in the meantime had crossed the Rapidan after our movements begun, but was repulsed by G enera Fitz Lee and pursued towards Brandy Station. After a skirmish with some of the Federal cavalry at Jeffersontow we reached the Rappahannock a t Warrenton 6prings in the afternoon , where the passage o f the river was disputed by cavalry and artillery. The enemy was q uickly driven off by a detachment of our cavalry, aided by a small force of infantry and a bat tery. Early next morning (the 13th), the march Wtis resumed, and the two columns reuni:cd at Warrenton in the afternoon, when another halt wits made to supply the troops with provisions. The enemy fell back rapidly along the line of the rail road, and early ou the 14th the pursuit was con tinued, a portion of the army moving by way of New Baltimore towards Bristol station, and the rest, accompanied by the main body of the cavalry, proceeded to the same point by Auburn Mills a n d Greenwich. Near the former place a skirmish took p l a ce betwee n Gen. Ewell's advance and the rear guard of the enemy, which was forced b ac k and rapidly pursued.

Before the rest of the troops could be brought up, and the position of the earl IIY ascertained, he retreated across Broad Run. T. au next morning he was reported to be fortifyin g beyond Bull Run, extending his line towards tno Little River Turnpike. The vicinity of the in trenehroents around Washington and Alexandri u, rendered it useless to turn his new position, as it" was apparent that he could readily retire to them, and would decline an engagement unless attacked in his fortifications. A farther advance was there fore deemed unnecessary, and after destroying the railroad from Cub Run sauthwardly to the Rappa ,hanneck, the army returned on the 18th to tiw line leaving th e cavalry in the ene..ny's o r that river, a s ititienrg occurred advanced t a h t e ß fo u l e l k o i w a i n T from:. day, and r ti c.cav: , l .m ry e Gen.

The enemy advanced from that place it superior numbers to attack General Imboden, who retired, bringing off his prisoners and captured. property, his command suffering very little loss, and inflicting some damage on the pursuing column. In the course of these operations 2,436 prisoners were captured, including 41 commissioned officers. Of the above number 434 were taken by General Imboden.

Late on Saturday night the " guys" took advantage of their absence to come out. Eighteen or 20 men, armed with bludgeons and dressed as "guys," entered the town from the direc tion of Stoke's-fields, and, proceeding; along the Stoke-road, broke the windows of Messrs. Impey and Bower, two special constables, who had, it seems, given their party some cause of offence. Proceeding to the upper part of the town, they turned round the corner of the Rain lon, and alarmed the whole neighbourhood with their shouts. They then broke the panels of the shutters and shop windows of Mr. Wcale, linendraper, having wrenched the shutters from their places, and broken two lar ge windows each valued at £7O. Nor did. the upper windows share a better fate. The fram ing was broken, and other parts of the woodwork shivered to pieces, and rot a single pane was left whole. This was the work of only a few minutes. Mr. Weale's son, who is the secretary of the 13th Surrey Rifle Volunteer Corps, ran in undress to the door armed for the protection of himself and rela tives, should the "guys" attempt anything further than mere destruction of property ; but, happily, w hen he reached the door the 6, guys" had gone in the direction of the house of Mr. Henry Piper, of th e 24th ex - m ayor, on the Merrow-ro a d. A alarm had b ee n given, and the bell. of the Town hall was loudly rung, when about 20members Surrey Rifles and a n um b er of the special con stables assembled. An explosio n some shouting bein g heard of firewo r k s and i Chapel-street (lower dow n then the directi o n o f ordered thither, b u t there were town) they were de manding their s erv i ces. At \ ere found nothing r. Piper's th e " gu y s ' demanded mon e y , I promising that if they received a good round sum the Mr. Piper re f used toy would not inj ur e th e h ouse . give them money, on which they threatened him. Ho told them that Mrs. Piper was very ill, andbegged them to desist, but this entreaty they utterly disregarded, and at once commenced the ir attack. They completely broke in the front door. The upper and lower windows were WIII 0 were al so destroyed. The " guys" then disbanded for the bthrowing away their bludgeons, and oven their dresses. Sw • ordsticks and unexploded fireworks the w ere f oun d yesterday morning in streets. Mr. Weale's and Mr. Piper's premises have since been boarded up. We are told that three of the " guys" who aided in these disgraceful Iproceedings are known, and that they will bo brought before the magistrates. It is said that large rewards aro to be offered for the detection. and conviction of any of the other ringleaders.
