ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE. The fact that no alteration having been made in In the rate of discount to-day, when everybody looked forward for an upward movement, has im- Parted a very favourable tone to business, and bill brokers are once more throwing aside a little of the res erve manif es t e d yesterday by negot i at i ng bill s for their regular customers at 81 per cent. This , e harge is regarded in the light of a concess i on, because daring the past few days they required for similar transactions from to 1 per cent. more. It efhould however be stated that they still refrain r°rll e r'tering very l arge l y i n t o new b us iness, and t hat to the Bank of England is taken nearly all Lae Paper brought into circulation. About £lOO ,OOO sovereigns were withdrawn f rom the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Brazils. The bar silver brought by the Tasmanian has b een sold at ss. I'd. per oz. standard, showing a forof id. wh en compared with the pr i ce rea li se d the 1, p r evious supply. During the last few days there has been very little ani nnatica in the Foreign and Colonial Pro dnee Markets.

Bonds of the Ottoman Railway be quoted the teial lists. Two O'CLOCK. R 4 t the Pari s B ourse this morning, according to Ateuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 1.5 e. Rather firm. The Stock Exchange markets this morning have Presented a very favourable and improving appear ance, and nearly all the principal secnrities,English r . a s well as F oreign, exhibit an advance in prices. This buoyancy has been occasioned by the continu ance of the rate of discount by the Bank of England St 8 per cent., and the rumour that no withdrawals Of gold will be effected for shipment. Consols are better than last evening, the quotations being 9(4 1 for money, and 90}, 91 for the account. The Reduced Annuities have improved to 901 ; and the New Threes to 901 ; Exchequer Bills are 12s. to 7s. dis.; and India Bonds, 10s. 3s. dis.; the Indian 5 per Cent. Loan is 1061 2..

(Sittings at Guildhall, before a Special Jury). ADAMS V. TIIE LONDON AND PROVINCIAL TURKISH BATH COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the Turkish Bath Company for compensation for injuries sus tained. The plaintiff, it appeared, went to the premises of the defendants, known as the Hammam, 79, Jermyn street, for the purpose of taking a Turkish bath, and just as he entered the bath-room he fell down, owing, as he said, to a want of light and other precau tions, which defendants ought to have provided. Fiji leg and arm were very much injured by the accident. For the defendants it was contended that there was a want of caution on the part of the plaintiff, and had he required the slightest assistance it would have been instantly at his disposal. The authorities at the bath were only too de sirous to do everything in their power for the comfort and convenience of their patrons. . _ _ Sergeant Shee then addressed the jury for the plaintiff in a highly humorous strain. He said, supposing they gave him the amount of compensation he required (£1OO), it would not bo money lost by the Turkish Bath Company. The plaintiff had antlered through their oversight, but they would benefit through his accident, as the present action would prove a capital advertisement for " The Ham tna in Jermyn-street. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £lOO. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISABLING A POLICE CONSTABLE.--COMMITTAL Henry Sullivan, a young man. was charged with assault ing Wm. Moorcroft, 135 G, while in the execution of his duty, on the 29th of November last. Moorcrofc said he was outside the Queen's Theatre, Pitt street, Tottenham-court-road, about 12 o'clock on the night of the 22d of November, when he saw a number of lads collected. He requested them to go away, when one of them tripped him up, but he did not fall, and in turning round to see who had done it, the prisoner struck him on the jaw, and ran away. He pursued the prisoner, who suddenly threw himself at his feet, so that ho should fall over him, which he did, and in the fall he dislocated his shoulder. He was taken to the Mithllesex Hospital, and had since been unable to duty, and would not be able to resume it for some time. Prisoner said he was not the person, and called a wit ness who, however, knew nothing about the affair, not being there at the time. Moorcroft said he was positive as to tho prisoner being the ono who caused his injury. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial, but offered to take one bail in £2O for the prisoner's appearance at the Sessions. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WOMAl , 'T.—Mary Ann Cruise, of 9, Little Pulteney-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Knox with violently assaulting a female, named Margaret Byrne, lodging in the same house. On the prisoner being planed in the dock, Sergeant George Godfrey, 118 C, said the injured woman was not present, and handed Mr. Knox the following certificate : " I hereby certify that Margaret Byrne is a patient in this hospital, and is at present i n t oo wea k a state to give evidence. "G. E. PYLE, M.R.C.S,, House Surgeon, ➢Middlesex Hospital." Mary Williams, lodging in the same house as the injured woman and the prisoner, said that about eight o'clock last night, hearing cries of Murder I" and " Help I" she ran downstairs and saw the prisoner kneeling on Marga ret Byrne. She (witness) was so terrified that she could render no assistance, but a lodger in the house pulled the prisoner off, and a constable then came. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness believed both females were sober, Sergeant Godfrey, 18 C, said on going to the spot he found Margaret Byrne bleeding profusely from wounds on the head. He procured a cab and took her to the hospital, and the prisoner was taken into custody. A candlestick smothered with blood was given to him by a person who said it was the weapon used by the prisoner. In answer to Mr. Knox the sergeant said that the sur geon could not tell whether the injured woman was out of danger at present. PREFERENCE SHARES.

MURDEROUS AFFRAY.—William Sheers, a dirty and dissipated ruffian, was brought before Mr. Partridge,charged with violently assaulting and wounding Mary Ann Smith, an unfortunate woman, dwelling at No. 2, Victoria-street, Shadwell. The complainant's face was cut in a frightful manner, and there were several medical plaisters upon it. Her head was covered with contusions and bruises, and her clothes were stiffened with gore. The wretched woman on being sworn said she knew the prisoner's wife and as he had two children to maintain khe wished to forgive him. He came to her house and was very tipsy, and after they had been drinking together for some time, she fell down un the fender and injured herself. She was as bad as he was. Mr. Partridge said the witness was suppressing the facts, and no doubt she had been tampered with. James Stockley v police constable No. 66 K, said he was called to a house in Victoria-street yesterday afternoon at half-past 4 o'clock. The woman was lying on the floor quite senseless. The prisoner, who was very drunk and noisy, said he would have the woman's life. Ho would rip her open. The room where the transaction took place was in great confusion, and everything overturned. Ha obtained assistance, and carried the woman to the station house. Eliza Martin, an unfortunate woman, said the prisoner came to her lodgings yesterday evening with a bottle of rum and a jar of beer, and after he had got drunk he laid down and went to sleep. On awaking he asked for his cap, and because it was not immediately forthcoming he seized the complainant by the throat, and knocked her down and jumped upon her, and then broke a chair over her. He was armed with a large three pronged fork, and threatened to kill her. The prisoner, in defence, said he went to the complain ant's house drunk, and did not know what he was about. Mr. Partridge asked if the prisoner was known ? Stockley—l only know him as a coal-whipper. Mr. Partridge said that this was the worst case of assault he had ever known. The prisoner was a perfect savage, and had committed a very brutal assault. The plea of drunkenness was no excuse at all. He saw no reason to treat the prisoner with leniency. Women, however bad they were, were not to be ill used with impunity. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for six months and kept to hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.

King's - College, London, has to lament the loss of a second professor—the Rev. Algernon Sydney Thelwall, lec turer in public reading and elocution, a tutor highly re. spected and esteemed by the theological students of the col lege. Mr. Thelwall, who was 68 years old, had excused him self, on the plea of illness, from attending the funeral of his friend, Professor M'Caul, but no one knew that his end was so near. He was the son of the well-known "patriot," John Thelwall, who was tried in 179 k for high treason with Home Tooke and Hardy, and who afterwards became a more successful elocutionist than be was a traitor.. .TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1863. Archbishop Cullen's Pastoral Address Yesterday a Pastoral, addressed to the clergy and laity of the Diocese of Dublin, from his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin, Primate of Ireland, &e., was read in the different churches and chapels of the city. After having alluded to the approaching festival of the Immacu late Conception, his Grace proceeds to say : " Whilc Christians are at all times reminded by their numberless wants to have recourse for succour to the help of Christians, we, dearly beloved brethren, are urged by more than ordinary motives to cast ourselves on her pity and protection. For if, in the calamities that often afflict nations and peoples, are to be recog nised the scourges by which the Almighty in his wrath chastises their sins, we have reason to apprehend that our transgressions are calling out for vengeance, and that the rod of Divine anger, still lifted over us, is ready to strike us again. Indeed, during many long years our poor country has suffered severely from famine, pestilence, bad seasons, and other visitations of heaven. To these are to be added the evils occasioned by that false and anti-Chris tian political economy which would destroy those la! ings that have been made to the image of God, and redeemed by the blood of Christ, to make room for the brute beasts of the field, and which, in order to provide for the manufac turing and material interests of another country, would rob Ireland of the privilege of being an Island of Saints, in order to make her the mother of herds and flocks. Our past afflic tions have been great indeed, but are we not still menaced by other evils, and especially by a continuation of misery and distress, and the greater evils that arise from the machina tions of secret and illegal societies ? It may be that we are al lowed to suffer in order to show we are the true children of God, or to make us more like unto our Divine Master, who passed his life in poverty and sufferings ; it may be that at present a merciful Father threatens as he did the Ninevites of old, in order to arouse us to repentance, and that if we turn from our evil ways he will avert from us the impend. ing stroke ; but whatever may be the mysterious designs of Providence, do not delay to be reconciled with heaven white there is yet time. Do penance for your sins, correct your evil ways, refrain from drunkenness and other degrading vices, which, provoking the anger of heaven, render the soul deserving of eternal perdition, and bring disease and death upon the body. Filied wits the spirit of faith, well instructed in the efficacy of prayer, knowing that all things are regulated by an all-wise Providence—that famine, war, pestilence are instruments in the hands of the Lord of Hosts, lift up your hearts in humble suppli cation to his throne, laying before him both your spiritual and temporal necessities, and imploring of him to lend a favourable ear to your supplications, With full submission to his holy will, and entire conformity to the dispositions of his Providence, whatever they may be, send up to him your petitions through his Immaculate Mother to spare His people, to stay the hand of His angel, lest the land be made desolate, and every living soul destroyed. As, among all virtues for which the Queen of Heaven was distinguished, there was none so precious as that charity which ever pre served her in union with her Divine Spouse, so, beloved brethren, there is no virtue in which we should so much endeavour to imitate her, or by the practice of which we can be so agreeable to her, as that of charity, which is the queen of virtues. We should cultivate this virtue, ' not in word nor tongue, but in work and truth.' We should manifest it by the exercise of well-ordered, j adi cious acts of a l msg i ving towards the poor, especially in those days o f m i sery and affliction. For,' says the Scrip ture, alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness. Alms shall be a great confidence before the Most High God to all them that give it.'—(Tob. iv. 11.) But as the salvation of the immortal souls that have been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ is infinitely more important than the relief of corporal wants,'we should make it a religious duty to assist cur brethren by advice, example, encouragement, instruc tion, and, if needful, by zealous remonstrance, to resist the insidious attacks of those emissaries of Satan, who are con tinually lying in wait for the children of the poor, going about seeking whom they may devour; discovering by a species of perverse instinct whero want and misery and ignorance have made the greatest havoc, and there, lighting , like birds of prey, fastening on the poor remnants of huma nity, and carrying off to perdition whatever yet remained to be destroyed. "Dearly-beloved brethren, if we are anxious to repel the assaults of our enemies, let us pnt on the armour of light, and protact ourselves with the breast-plate of faith. It is our duty to cultivate this important virtue, without which it is impossible to please God ; it is ourduty to preserve it from all dangers. The best means for effecting all this is to give a good Catholic education to the rising generations, so that all may know the practices of their religion, and may be able to give an account of the faith that is in them. The poor are to avoid proselytising schools; the rich to shun anti- Catholic colleges and universities, in which the prevailing Protestant spirit is moat hostile to the doctrines and prac tices of the Catholic Church Above all, we are to shun the contagion of bad and irreligious books, which corrupt the heart and pervert the intellect, and to avoid all the seductions of bad company, the ruin of so many souls. In all things it behoves us, dearly beloved brethren, to be on the watch against the enemies of God and of the poor, whose unceasing hostility against the true church shrinks from no device, however unworthy and degrading, to undermine the Catholic faith, and to effect the ruin of immortal soule. As their doings belong to that class of works which cannot bear the light, the more fully they are made known to the public the less harm they will be able to effect. Continual examples of the bigotry and intolerance with which the warfare of darkness is carried on present themselves to us. Only a few days ago such a case occurred in the Adelaide Hospital. A poor Catholic, by name Kinsella, had been received therein, and being anxious to make his peace with God before he would expose himself to a dangerous operation, he asked to be allowed to see a priest and to receive the last rites of religion. This just demand was denied by the managers of the hospital. It was then found necessary to carry the poor sick man outside the threshold of that institution into the public street, where, exposed to the cold blasts of a wintry night, ho would have been obliged to remain whilst the rites of religion were administered, had he not been re ceived into a neighbouring house by the charity of its owner. How can the men who thus insult the religion and feelings of two hundred.millions of Catholics pretend to be animated with charity, which is the mark of the true disciple of Jesus Christ ? "An instance of the spirit of falsehood with which the enemies of our religion are filled may also be alleged. Some time ago a poor boy, by name Edward Murphy, apos tatised from the faith. A circular was published soon after for the purpose of raising money to send him to school, and to prepare him to become a parson. In this circular, to give importance to the boy, it was stated-Ist. That he was the nephew of a priest ; 2dly. That he was the ward of a priest; 3dly. That he had been brought repeatedly to the Catholic archbishop and to priests to be reprimanded for his epos tacy ; and 4thly. That he had suffered with great firmness, cruel persecutions in consequence of his change of religion. All these assertions were glaringly false, yet the circular containing them was signed by an archdeacon of the Pro testant establishment, by two parsons, and two proselytising ladies. It is in this w a y, d early beloved brethren, our re ligion is assailed. The arms employed against us are false hood, calumny, misrepresentation, penal laws, and violence. But we should not complain when we recollect that our Divine Redeemer was assailed in the same way by the Scribes 1 and Pharisees, and that our forefathers in the faith were subjected to similar persecutions ; and why should we ex pect to be spared by error and infidelity, when they do not hesitate:to vent their rage against the Mother of God, the purest and most exalted of all creatures ? Yes, the habitual revilers of our holy church, strangers to the spirit of Chts tianily, without any fixed principle to guide them, divided into a thousand factions in their religito_use who y o ms, p a i : n a i b on ear e ss , saoilf wth a ita r h e t only united in misrepresenting and hating Catholic doctrine —who pretend to propagate the Gospel of the God of toof venerationv G il l o i d f cha rity, by calumniating and insulting church which has existed in all ages, andem:hriacch:swienits while with the bosom the inhabitants of every clime ; these unhappy men celestial messenger we salute her as "blessed amen gwomen," and contribute to the fulfilment of her own prophecy, that all ex hibitthmakee moa t towardsoisttaopfavourite l e s s e s p e dit employmenthM ets o t t h h e e r generations should call her blessed. Happily th e conduct of those agents of proselytism and their wicked proceedings are condemned not only by Catholics, but by all that is liberal and enlightened in Protestantism. Be it ours, dearly beloved brethren, to make some reparation to the outraged dignity of the Virgin, by proclaim ing loudly h er .pri vileges, uplifting our voices in her p ra i se, testifying our unbounded confidence in her clemency, and in her power with her Son, ornamenting the churches and altars erected tion but, above all, by copyi ng under her invocation, into our lives her surpassing virtues—her purity, her sanctity, h er meekness, her patience, her obedience, her resignation in the time of suffering, her faith and fervent love. It is thus that we shall most effectually put to shame and confusion, if anything can do so, the enemies of her name, the tra ducers of the Church of Christ. It is thus that you will walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing, fruitful in every good work, increasing in the knovil edgeof God (Col. i. 10)."

PEDESTRIANISM.—Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a running match took place at Bo qv between William Lang and James Sanderson, for the Four Mile Champion Cup and a stake of £5O, Lang appeared on the ground with a bandage round his right leg, the limb having been in a bad state for some time in consequence of exces sive pedestrian practice. Sanderson took the lead from the commencement, and on entering the second mile Lang was 30 yards behind. Ho therefore retired from the contest, and Sanderson was declared the four•mile champion and the winner of the stake. There was much confusion. at the end of the race, and Lang received a severe blow in the eye from a person present, who was summarily castigated for the outrage, ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Having taken part in the efforts made by Catholics to obtain due and proper facility of com munication between the clergy and prisoners of our communion, I hope you will permit me to address a few lines to you on the subject. In your number of Thursday, the 3d inst., Ser geant Bellasis shows that the magistrates of Middle '' sex--gentlemen, no doubt, of experience and ability, were yet not aware of the statistics of crime in their House of Correction. When he stated how large a number of criminals returned ten times to the prison it was doubted that such was the case. When the official returns were quoted, a misprint was alleged as the reason, though the fact is now fully established. Lord Palmerston and others—Protestants as well as Catholic, of official and general experience,. L have constantly stated, in and out of Parliament, that the only hope of reforming prisoners was to en deavour to rekindle the sparks of religious training they may at any time have received, according to the religion in which they had received it. Upon a prisoner who perhaps reluctantly hears any cler gyman at all the admonitions of a clergyman other than one whose teaching may have been known to him may have the same effect as that of the Pro testant missionary upon the savages previously , visited by a Catholic :—" You say you are a Chris tian, yet you contradict that which 'another Chris tian minister has stated to be true, so I will listen to neither. It has been shown that Catholic prisoners in gaols were ignorant they could see a clergyman of their own persuasion. They fear to ask for their services, sometimes lest they should offend or trouble the authorities, sometimes from the natural fear of shame in having erred. A life of crime and sin cannot always rouse itself to make the spe cial request hitherto demanded by the law. We have also shown that a man shut up within four walls is at the mercy of his gaolers (who are some times merciful, sometimes otherwise), and that while on the one hand there is opportunity to in struct and improve, on the other hand, if this is not properly done, misplaced instruction may pro duce dissimulation and disgust. Sach being the situation of the prisoner, the law has till this year said ; "A Protestant chaplain must visit all prisoners ; he may always have access to them, even when they are recognised as Catholics." But to Catholics the law has said, in practice and in truth, " There shall be no encouragement to your reformation. If you choose to give trouble ; if you dare to abstract yourself from the rest of your fellow prisoners; if you, a sinner and a criminal, of your own will and disposition, demand to see your clergy man (an action which would show reformation to be attained, rather than reformation to be needed), then, at your special request, you may see him. However, you must see him alone. There must be no religious service. It is true that, as he may see only one at a time, he may only have ti me to see not a quarter of the number he ought to see. He shall neglect his other duties. HiS ordinary flock, who fancy themselves entitled to his ministry, must take care of themselves. His poverty cannot be considered; although he may have miles to journey, no facility can be given, and no expense allowed. Bnt, moreover, as you have stated that you are a Catholic, and have asked to see your clergyman, we must lock you up in your cell while others are at the prison chapel. You shall be deprived of the gratification they enjoy by this break upon their prison life. It is true you will thus get about 36 days' punishment in the year more than they. This cannot be helped; because you have avowod yourself to be a Catholic, you must therefore be content to be punished, because you have had the courage to avow that you Wish to be good and to reform." And yet we Catholics have shown how prison discipline is assisted by the ministrations of our clergy. We have challenged contradiction to the statement that where the Catholic clergym an was brought to the prisoner of his religion, there the prison officers have found restraint more easy. We have used every argument that common sense could point out, and they are many, and we are /net by assertions none of which are stronger than this— that a Catholic criminal, if left to himself, would rather not send for his priest. His difficulties are denied, the events of his life are forgott en ; and the whole of this great question is shelved by an asser tion as mistaken in idea as it is inconsistent with fact. I do not doubt that the magistrates of Middlesex are good, estimable, painstaking gentlemen. It had, however, escaped them to weigh the frequency of crime in their prison, as shown in authentic regis ters. Is it, then, wrong to think it possible that they may be unacquainted with subjects more diffi cult to ascertain ? I mean the action of the feelings, the emotions, the providential inspirati ons Which, from time to time, are working upon even the criminal heart, and which may be beneficially im proved upon if they themselves will permit it. This year the wisdom of Parliament has placed the remedy within their reach. It has also been proposed to them to avail them. selves of the enactment. If reformation of criminals is desired ; if the rates are to be lightened by less frequent imprisonment ; if murder, crime, drunkenness, violence, suicide, are to be diminished, why deny to us such simple means as Ire ask to obtain for the public so great a benefit ? Let there not be imputed to us motives which we do not feel. We ask but the reformation of the criminal. We do not ask influence or money more than is simply necessary for the object commo n t o us all. If that is denied to us in execution, which the law sanctions and authorises by its high authority, is there no responsibility in such denial, and bow great is that responsibility ? May it not be also that, without knowing or measuring the harm they unwittingly practise, the majority of the magis trates prefer to keep up a system of exclusion rather than to follow that which has been found necessary in the army, and which has been at tended with much benefit in the convict prisons of the country ? Let the same system be carried out in county gaols; the country and society at large will benefit, because there will be less crime and diminished ex penses, not only in prosecuting criminals, but in their support and care after conviction. Of course, the magistrates must carry out their own views of what is right ; but I do most sincerely hope that upon so momentous a subject for the in terests of the poor people concerned they may be guided by principles which have been so lucidly placed before them on a recent occasion. I beg pardon for trespassing upon your space, but I cannot help thus referring to the important statement and statistics of Sergeant Bellasis as shown in your paper of Thursday last. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Arundel, Dec. 7 EDWARD F. HOWARD. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT ISLINGTON. Dr. Lancaster yesterday resumed his inquiry into the circumstances attending the deaths of John Peake and Joseph Pearce, carpenters, in the employ of Mr. Chapman, builder, occasioned by the falling of the premises known as the Wheatsheaf publichouse, Upper-street, Islington. Mr. Cuftlin said he saw some men pull down the chimney-wall with ropes after the building had fallen, and he Was certain some of the debris fell on the spot where the bodies of the two men were lying. Philip Meldrum, bricklayer, Was 0150 examined, but his evidence was contradictory as to . the removal of shores, w hi c h were t a ken down to admi t the 1 door-steps. He said he saw somo cracks under the windows about a fortnight since, and having put some cement over them, he examined them frequently afterwards, but they never appeared to have widened. The materials used were of the best description. Daniel Wallis, foreman of the plasterers, said about 20 minutes to 12 he saw two openings across the windows on the ground floor story. He immo. diately apprised Mr. Chapman of the fact, and he afterwards told him to take his men off the scoffold. He did not think anything of the cracks alluded to by Meldtuni. Herbert Wallis said when ho first went to work on the building h e found the wall very round.

The New York Times asserts that 2,000,000 bales of cotton are said to be stored at Atalanta, which General Bragg will have great difficulty in re moving before General Grant reaches the city. President Davis reviewed General Lee's army on the 25th, Official advices from Burnside to the 23d report him safe. The Southern journals report that Longatreet captured 1,500 prisoners on the 18th, and Wheeler 600. The same papers report that the Federals made a demonstration on rafts against Fort Sumter on the 20th, and were repulsed. During the day and night of th e 21st, 36 shells were thrown into Charleston, killing one co l oure d woman and injuring one white person. General Grant reports this morning that Brag g ' s rout is most complete. He abandoned cannons, caissons, and waggons, which are every where to be found. General Grant says—" I think Bragg's los s will reach 50 guns. The pursuit will continue in the morning to Red Clay, for which place I start immediately." Washington despatches report that Sherman crossed the Chickamauga yesterday. Hooker reached Ringold last night. Bragg was in full retreat towards Dalton, burning the bridges and destroying all behind him. A strong Federal column was pursuing Bragg's troops, who are re presented as entirely demoralised. It is estimated that the Federals have captured 7,000 prisoners. General Meade's army moved yesterday in three columns to cross the Rapidan at three different fords. It is supposed that a battle has been fought. Nothing authentic is known of the result. The Richmond papers emphatically assert that the prisoners at Richmond receive full rations o bread and meat.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) SEVENTEENTH DAY. ALDERSHOT, Tuesday Morning. The Court reassembled at 25 minutes to 11 o'clock. Surgeon Gavin A. Turnbull, of the Gth Dragoons, was recalled, and examined by the court. The Court—What was the practice in the Gth Dragoons regarding prisoners taking exercise F—The practice was that they were recommended by the surgeon of the regi ment to the commanding officer, and they got the exercise recommended. You stated in your cross-examination that you had fre quently seen Sergeant Major Lilley during his arrest. You also state that you never visited Sergeant Major Lilley in his first quarters, How do you reconcile these two state ments ?—I saw him frequently between. the date of his removal from his first quarters and the day of his death. How often before the 18th May ?—I cannot exactly state .how often, I cannot remember. You have stated that in the first instance you refused to make any additional report on the post mortem examina tion of Sergeant Major Lilley, and that you afterwards did so on the information received from Colonel Crawley, and the report made to you by Assistant-Surgeon Barnett. Be good enough to state the exact words used by Assistant Surgeon Barnett when conveying to you the information he received on which your addendum was founded ?—As far as I remember, Assistant Surgeon Barnett stated to me, when I requested him to make the inquiry about the brandy that he believed aconsiderable quantityhad been consumed. Those were the words Assistant Surgeon Barnett used at that time. Then Dr. Barnett made no report to you. It was you who directed him to make the inquiry ?—Yes t I directed him to make the inquiry. You then considered his report so complete and satisfac tory that, in the conscientious discharge of your duties, you deemed it necessary to the best interests of the service to make the add en d um alluded to ?—Yes, on the evidence then before me I considered it was. You have stated that Sergeant Major Lilley's was a case in which a coroner's inquest would ordinarily have been held; that Sergeant Major Lilley died from heat apoplexy, of which you have seen a good many cases. Were courts of inquests held on all or any of tho se cases F—No, not in any that I remember. Were there other cases of death from heat oapoplexy at n Mhow during the hot season of 1862 ?---No, member. t that I re member. I don't think there were. Does heat apoplexy ordinary attack men exposed to the weather, or those who keep themselves close F—Either h ea t exposure or too much confinement would produce heat apoplexy. You say you have seen several cases of heat apoplexy , Were any of those cases quite sudden, and did they occur without any particular predisposing cause ?—Some of the cas es were sudden, b ut the y must all have had so me predis posing cause to produce them. At what hour did you receive information of s ergeant Court)--"Thy did you state Major Lilly's sudden attack of illness ?—i ne ver received you. l quantity of any intimation whatever that he was ill. )deceased was in the By the prisoner (through the Court in your addendum to your report that on You you found the statement to be correct that the ghethe period habit of drinking a considerable qua • during the arrest ?

Mr. Oliver Barnett, assistant surgeon of the 6th Dragoons, was called for examination by the Cow t. The Court—Are four or five glasses of brandy a day a usual medical comfort for a woman in a consumption during the hot season at Mhow F—l consider that in the cuss of Mrs. Lilley, who was suffering from extreme exhaustion, that four or five glasses of brandy a day was not a consider able q u antity for her to take, especially as the great irrita bility of her stomach and bowels did not enable her to take solid food or n utritious broths. You have stated your conversation with Colonel Crawley regarding the brandy supposed to have been consumed by Sergeant Major Lilley. What caused you to return to him again and ask if he wished you to make any add i t ion to your report in the sergeant major's case P—As the commanding officer had brought the fact to my notice, I deemed it my duty to represent it to Dr. Turnbull. At what hour did Colonel Crawley speak to you, and at what time did you first communicate with Dr. Turnbull Colonel Crawley first spoke to me about 5 o'clock in the morning. We remained on parade until about half-past seven, and about eight o'clock I communicated the subject of the conversation to Dr. Turnbull. Report as nearly as pos.4ihic tha words in which you con veyed the information to Dr. Turnbull and thsteonsaltation you had with him in the office of the hospital ?—As nearly as I recollect I informed him of what Colonel Crawley had said to me in the morning as to Sergeant Maier Lilley's having been supplied with such a large quantity of spirits during the time he was under arrest, and that as Mrs. Lilley had communicated to me that her husband had been in the habit of taking some brandy and soda water every day, I considered it my duty to take notice of it. You have stated that you waited on Mrs. Lilley and asked her about her late husband. Was that before or after your consultation with Dr. Turnbull F—Before my consultation with Dr. Turnbull.

Mr— Bond is certainly ono of the most astonishing performers in this part of the entertainment, but our old friends, MM.

Burnetti and Talliott, and the Marvels of Peru, all contribute an exhibition of their peculiarities, which, with the ever varying but ever beautiful Fairy Fountain, make up an entertainment of the most agreeable and attractive description. The spacious building was filled to overflowing in every part, and from the satisfaction the performances gave last evening, the exertions of Mt. Wilde will be amply repaid I by the vast audiences that will certainly be attracted to the Alhambra during the holiday season of Christmas. -.............*..........•• Foreign Mail Packet List.
