LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE WESTBROOK, This bankrupt, who was a solicitor in the Strand, and at present confined in Whitecross-street Prison, now applied for his release from custody. He was opposed on the ground of misappropriation of moneys, and also on the ground that he was in custody for disobeying, under an order of the Lord Chancellor, for payment of costs. _ . Mr. Hughes, of the firm of Hughes, Kearney, and Mas terman, appeared for the opposing creditor, the Rev. Mr. Martin, and put in an order in a cause, " Martin v. West brook," cancelling a portion of an agreement as being ob tained by misrepresentation. _ _ Mr. Griffin denied that any fraud was imputed by the Lord Chancellor, and quoted the ease from the Law Times. Mr. Hughes said he had a certified copy of the order of the Court, which he reed and pat in as evidence, and sub mitted that the bankrupt was not entitled to be released from custody. Mr. Griffi:hs again urged that it was not a fraud, there fore the bankrupt was entitled to his release. His Honour ultimately said he would look over the papers, and, as the bankrupt was in custody, give his deci bion at an early day. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE FENN. This bankrupt was an innkeeper at Norwich, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. Brough appeared for the assignees, and did not op pose. The bankrupt had been in business many years, and now failed for £3,000, and assets to about half that amount. kiis Honour granted the discharge. THE ANGLO-FRENCH AGRICULTURAL TRADING COMPANY. A meeting was held for a call in the case of this com pany, and it was fixed at £2 per share. IN RE HOLMES. A dividend meeting was held in the case of this bank rupt, a shipowner, in Swan-alley, City, and a dividend of ls. in the pound was ordered. A previous dividend was declared of 3s, 6d. in the pound. The debts were above £2,300. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.---This Day. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) A respectably dressed person named flicks surrendered to his bail on a charge of assaulting the police and creating a disturbance in Cremorne Gardens. From the evidence of the p lice•constable it appeared that on the occasion of the Licensed Victuallers' fete on the Ist of July the defendant and a friend were present at Cremorne Gardens, and about half-past 12 o'clock a dis turbance occurred, when the police interfered. There were some other persons engaged in the quarrel, and by direction of Inpector Drake two constables, named Ayres and Manley, were sent to restore order, ft possible. The two constables alleged that the defendant refused all persuasion, and to prevent further annoy ance steps were taken to eject him and his friend from the gardens. In effecting this they said they received many violent kicks about their legs and shins from the defendant, and the result of the disturbance was that the prisoner was charged with assault, and the magistrate sent the case to be disposed of at the session. For the defence it was contended that the police had alto gether acted under a mistake in taking Mr. Hicks into cus tody, as instead of being the aggressor, he was in fact trying to procure the ejectment of another who had been making himself objectionable to some of the visitors of the gardens. The police constables having given their evidence. The Assistant Judge said he did not think any very violent assault had been proved. Mr. Sleigh, counsel for the defendant, said, although that was so, it was of the utmost importance to defendant that he should take steps to remove the stigma of having been in the custody of the police without the slightest reason. His client was a respectable licensed victualler, and if the evidence of the police was true, then most certainly an assault had been committed ; but he contended that they had taken the wrong men into custody. It was of the utmost importance to the defendant that the evidence of the police should be thoroughly sifted, because from the beginning the utmost prejudice had been imported into the case. He felt, that the witnesses he should call would prove to the satis faction of the jury that the police had altogether been mis taken in taking Mr. Hicks into custody. Mr. Cannon, an auctioneer, carrying on business in Bloomsbury, said he was at Cremorne Gardens on the Ist of July, and about half-past 12 he invited a number of his friends to the refreshment bar, when a little man, in con sequence of his reaching over his shoulder to get a glass off the bar, felt himself offended. He challenged witness to fight, but he refused, and a disturbance was the result, The next he saw was the defendant in the custody of the police. He remonstrated with the constable, and told them they had made a mistake, and that they ought to have taken the little man. The police did not treat Mr. Hicks very tenderly. In answer to a question horn the Assistannt-Judge, the witness said he was ordered to leave the gardens, but he did not consider he was ejected from them. George Webb said he was in the gardens and saw the disturbance. He did not think the defendant was the ag gressor. In cr3ss•examination the witness said he did not know the defendant personally, but ho had been pointed out to him as a fighting man in Jim Mace's circus. George Parkes also said he was at Uremorne-gardens on the evening in question. He thought, as far as he could form an opinion, that the police were to blame. The jury found the prisoner guilty of assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. _ _ The Assistant-Judge said he never saw a case more clearly prov,,d, and be could not but think that it had been aggravated in consequence of there being a determination in some qaarters to offer every opposition to the police, and by the bad advice the prisoner had chosen to adopt. H e should not, under the circumstances, send him to prison, but he should inflict on hips a fine of £2O, and also call upon him to find two respectable sureties to keep the peace for 12 months. The fine having been paid, and bail accepted, the de. fendant was discharged. John Price, who was yesterday found guilty of stealing a pair of diamond earrings, value £lOO., the property of Harry Emmanuel, of Hanover-square, was to. day sentenced to four years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Mary Ann Baker, a woman of the lowest class, was brought be fore Mr. Arnold, charged with assulting Ann Courts, an elderly respectable looking woman. Complainant had evidently received so severe a blow that her whole face was contused and swollen. She stated that at 12 o'clock yesterday she was proceeding through York street, Westminster, in company with a friend, when the defendant suddenly struck her a violent blow on the nose, from the effects of which her face now presented its present appearance. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of the defendant? Complainant—Not the least, she is a perfect stranger to me. Mr. Arnold—Had you given her any provocation Complainant—None whatever. I never spoke to her nor did anything to her. She suddenly came up and struck me before I was aware of her intention, and without any cause. A respectable young woman, who was passing at the time the outrage was committed, and who described herself as a stranger to both parties, said that the attack was per fectly unprovoked in any way by the complainant, who was quietly pursuing her way when it happened. Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—What have you to say ? Defendant—l am very sorry. I was drunk ; as the police. man knows. Mr. Arnold—lf ycu please to get drunk it is no reason why unoffending persons should suffer for your want of reason. This is a most wanton and unjustifiable act. The complainant is walking peaceably through the streets, when you suddenly attack her, without anything which can bear the colour of an excuse.

TH A SCAN DALOUS OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY IN A BEER SROP.—George Hoppers, a young man, and described as a shoemaker, was brdught before Mr. Partridge charged with baing concerned with two others, named Mills and Banks, bracer, ipe.o appeared e t daannt and disorderly d c t ts p ho ar m d pe a rr k lo e ys z in assaulting and ro bbi ng a German named Gottlieb Kaler 'cbue t e o r r 2 a s h young op ca man, called ed t h wentinto eeryst Crystal Pa noto lace, a nl l t a o e tao e l f in the Rhodeswell•road, near the Commercial Gas Works, for the purpose of selling hats and caps. He was beset and injured by a number of blackguards, and among others by Banks, the pohnan, and the son of the landlord. Banks held the unfortunate stranger while Hop • pen and Mills picked his pockets. His hats were also taken away, and he was beaten and turned out of the house. Banks and Mills escaped at the rear of the premises, got over several walls and kept out, of the way for some time. They were arrested on Monday night by Police Sergeant Poole and Lambert, 311 K, and when brought before Mr. Partridge yesterday it appeared the felony had been compromised, and that the German had been re-paid the money stolen from him. The magistrate very properly denounced this system of compounding a felony and said he would not allow such a gross outrage and rob bery to remain without investigation. He remanded the prisoners, and directed that Hoppin, who is a briokmaker, should be sought after. Hoppin was now brought up, and it was clearly proved by Lambert, Alex. Crow, and another witness that he assisted in beating and robbing the German. in the Crystal Palace, and turned him out of the house. Mr. Partridge said the other prisoners were remanded until next Tuesday, and he should remand the prisoners until the same day. Despatches were received yesterday at the Ceio nial-ofßee from the Governor of Malta and from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian islands. An Old Tory's Tribute to an Old Liberal. We have all the more pleasure in transferring to our columns, from those of the staunch old Tory John Bull, the following generous tribute to the memory of the late liberal-minded Marquess of Nor manby, seeing that this kindly estimate of the noble marquess's character eo entirely coincides with our own, as expressed by us in our leading columns immediately upon the first announcement of his decease : hereditary , e C v e o r n t h s t e a l n e s t s i n e e n , a M b l e a d r q,ub by s the eof chance Normanby, s away from life at the comparatively early age of 66, was n to occupy a place in men's eyes during the period which we have named, and to bear his part in the great histo rical changes which were crowded within it. Viscount Normanby showed no hesitation in choosing the line of policy which his own temper and judgment pre scribed to him, and he made his maiden speech in favour of Catholic Emancipation, continuing after the passing of that measure to take en active part in promoting that enlarge ment of the representative system against which the Duke of Wellington had so rashly committed himself, as a thing necessarily revolutionary, in whatever shape it might come. The politics of the young Viscount not being agreeable to the views of his father, led to his retirement from public life for a time. But in consequence of the accession of the Whig Ministry to power, he found himself connected with official duties, commencing his career as Governor of Jamaica. Hie administration is well remembered in that colony ; and it will be recollected that only a few weeks ago the Legislative As sembly passed a formal resolution expressive of their gratitude for the efforts which he had made—true in his attachment to his old sphere of work—to secure for the colony a measure of justice at the hands of Parliament. From this period, till the downfall of the Whigs in 1811, he filled various offices with honour to himself and advantage to the country. We are told by one of those eciolitts who undertake at a nr , ment's notice to sit in judgment on eminent men for the daily press, that he owed all his official successes to his "good manners." It is perfectly true, as the same autho rity states, that "he was a man to like; it w os pleasant to be in his company." But a writer must be very ignorant of the true character of our polini:tal system if he supposes that the mere grace of demeanour and geniality of spirit (which Lord Normanby undoubt:dly possessed in a high degree) can avail by themselves to raise a man to high office and keep him before the public eye. And we find from the authority of one who can speak with knowledge on the subject, that Lord Normanby "was a hard work ing man in office ; many of those who acted with him and under him, in his various official capacities, men of talent and distinction, would. state that the s oci a l qualities they ser with vedonly h to is sw pu e b et l e ia n dthaetietao;ilso would bear witness tof office, but never inter feredthe clearness of his intellect, and the facility with which he executed business." No doubt the charm of Lord Normanby's "manners" had its sway in helping forward the congenial policy which distinguished his name at the most important period of his political life, and that by which he will be bast remembered. We refer to his tenure of the post of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland from 1834 to 1839: and it may be added that, as the easy bonhommie of Lord Melbourne was an important ele ment in the judicious policy with which that statesman guided us over that critical period of our history which attended the outcome of new social forces that might easily have burst into revolution in other hands—so LordNormanby's social quali ties reconciling b ec a me thea great newlya t developedpolitical 'rational of Ireland toc tis the difficult process of the English connection. It was something of this personal fascination which induced O'Contell to say that the Vice roy was " the best Englishman that Ireland had ever seen." But these qualities would have made very little impression if they had not been conjoined with that temperate and dig we may hope, become nified policy of conciliation w hich lie was the first to intro s a du a c a e tt i l n ed l a r a el d and, andw h hasr n necessary feature The same qualities of alight heart and generous disposi tion were conspicuous in the seren e indifference with which he looked down on the coa rse ab ase so plentifully heaped c i Iblri administration. e upon him in consequence of the part which he took on the Italian question. As our Minister tt Florence during some years, Lord Normanby had ample opportunities of acquaint ing himself with the real merits of that hypocritical and fraudulent conspiracy which has res i lted in bringing about the Piedmontese domination now existing in Italy. His love for the country and the people among whom he had sojourned so long was much too strmg to permit of his remaining silent while they were trodden down beneath the mean and cruel tyranny administered from Turin. He was not the man to shrink from the championship of an unpo pular cause ; and, in defiance of all the obloquy and vitu peration of which the Liberal press is so emphatically liberal, he continued to utter his unpalatable truths in the reluctant ear of the English Ministry and Parliament. It has actually been made a reproach to him that he broke through his old party connections in tue advocacy of these convictions, and it has been gravely trged, in aggravation of the offence, that he even did this after he had been re called from his post in a perempfcry manner by Lord Malmesbury. We do not believe that there is the slightest ground for insinuating that the recall in question implied anything like a pet sonal affront; but, whether it did or no, Lord Normanby had far too high a foul to be guided in his political course by such considerations. In this respect he was strikingly distinguished front his colleague of long standing,Lord Palmerston. Much of that statesman's foreign policy has been dictated to his mind by some personal quarrel or other ; thus his persevering hostility to Prussia has entirely grown, we believe, out of a private grudge against Chevalier Bunsen. This difference between the two statesmen was well discerned in their conduct subsequent to the Spanish mar riages. Both were taken in on that occasion. Lord Palmer ston's bitter resentment was no doubt the motive of his eager adhesion to the coup d'etat, which so nearly upset his p sition in the Whig party. Lord Normanby, on the other hand, in the narrative which he published of the events of 1848, exerted himself to do justice to the merits of Louis Philippe's Government, and was perhaps the only influ ential vindicator of the down-fallen dynasty at that time. The book to which we have referred, though somewhat hastily composed, will long be read as the most trustworthy a ccount, which we yet possess of the Paris Revolution of 1848 . It is not, as is well known, Lord Normanby's only contribution to English literature. lie, like Disraeli and Bulwer Lytton, first endeavoured to impress his thoughts and views on the age through the means of works of ima gination, and his novels are still read with pleasure, though constructed after too ephemeral a model to keep a perman ent place in public attention. But he never forgot that he bad enrolled himself as a citizen of the commonwealth of letters, and his warm sympathies were always ready in behalf of English literature. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Aug. 4.—This morning there was rather more inquiry for yarns, and in some instances it resulted in business, chiefly for India, at the prices current this day week. For other markets the business has been small. On the whole there has been a fair inquiry, which it is thought may a fn ra a th fe e w r b d e a t y te a r . fe i e n lin th g e cloth resultmarket in stillthere more . The recent American news appears to have suggested the impression that we are not going to see the end of the war has also business been for . some time to come, and that we shall consequently :not have American cotton. There has been more inquiry for cloth under these circumstances , and in some instances it has led to buying. The India letters are only just to hand, and have not had time to take effect, but they are considered favourable„ and suggest a probability of more business for that quarter, inasmuch as they report some little in quiry for Manchester goods in the country, where these goods were beginning to go into consumption. Bu y ers for the home trade have also been making have led to business. The stocks of finished goods in the home-trade houses are rather bare, and it nay be expected spt t bo h ere ri a eci that npe replenishtst m h ; o e anb y duoe tf will i ngp or I b oa nd e c dts them.i l ci aosao practically yo i s n ohsd g aest di hlheee outhave market for kram.eictr:ailef favourable lo fiyr yWhat inquiries, otpnuhu o oe 6rt p ele p bhl a i ta r th, ast t ceuenlyrndshhi same e. shirtings and other light fabrics. The Liverpool cotton market has been very quiet since last Thursday, probably owing in some measure to the arrivals of Surat cotton, the deliveries of which had been 25,000 bales up to yesterday, making with other descriptions a total of 27,600, against sales in the same period of 14,000, of which 5,000 had been for speculation and export. Prices are generally rather higher for cloths than they were a month ago, 66-reed 27- inch printers, and 52, 56, and 60-reed 39-inch shirtings being quoted 3d. per piece dearer, and 56-reed 26-inch printers, and 66 and 72-reed 26-inch shirtings being 6d. per piece higher. It is probably the quieter and steadier tone of this and the Liverpool markets during the last few days that has brought the buyers of cloths and yarns a little more freely forward. The deliveries of goods upon pre existing contracts continues rather considerable, and the stocks in first hands are reported to he rather bare. A good deal of inquiry is being made for first rate qualities of T-cloths from American cotton, the makers of which some time since stopped their mills, and which are now out of stock, or very difficult to be met with. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market : " The market continued very quiet to the end of the week, but the quotations of Tuesday last were firmly adhered to. Yesterday and to-day there has been rather more disposition on the part of buyers to operate, especially in the lie liter kinds of goods, and a fair amount of business has been done in them without any change in prices." CARDIFF, Aug. 3.—There is an average business doing in the steam coal trade, and the collieries are upon the who'e moderately well employed. A considerable number of vessels have arrived during the last seven or eight days, and freights are lower. Increased activity is expected to be the result in the coal trade. The ironmasters are fairly off for orders, and the advanced quotations are fully maintained• Many of the works are suffering from want of water. The average quotations are as follows .—Rails, f. o. b., £5 158.; merchant bars, £5 15s. to £5 17s. 6d. The recent improve ment in the tin trade is with difficulty maintained. LEEDS, 4th.—The attendance of buyers in the cloth halls has been rather limited to-day, nor, indeed, was there a full attendance of manufacturers. The opening of the new Town-hall at Halifax by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the festivities consequent thereon, have thinned the market here of many persons. All things considered, a fair amount of business was done in plain and fancy wit neys, meltons, tweeds, and other seasonable fabrics, and a few good parcels of" whites," heavy and medium qualities, also changed hands. Not much was done in ordinary black cloths, but a few unions found purchasers. The market was steady as to prices. Those of wool keep firm. NOTTINGHAM, 4th.—The business done in lace yarns was only on a moderate scale at this exchange hall to-day, and prices were about the same as on Friday. There was a quiet feeling in the demand for hosiery yarns, at full prices. Silks without change. In brown nets there was no material alteration. The Murder and Attempted Suicide in Marylebone. Last evening Dr. Lankester, Coroner for Central Middle sex, held an inquest at the Buffalo's Head Tavern, Maryle bone-road, on the body of Sarah Emily Adeline Mitchell, aged 14 months, the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Emily Mitchell, alias Chappel. Some facts connected with the murder of the child and attempted suicide of the mother were published in _The Sun of yesterday. Mr. S?eigh (barrister), instructed by Mr. Chappell, of 14, Chester-terrace, appeared for the unfortunate woman. The following is the evidence offered:-- Eliza Mitchell, of Marylebone road, said,—l am the sister of Sarah Mitchell, and aunt to the deceased. My sister has never been married, but has gone by the name of Chappel ever since the 11th of October, 1862, at which time we came from Liverpool, when we resided at No. 11, Seymour-street. My sister had no occupation, and I can assign no other reason for her assuming the name of Chappel than that Mr. Chappel, the father of the child, visited her. The deceased was born in London, after which the mother returned to Liverpool. When she came back to London she took charge of her child. Latterly my sister has been in very indiffer ent health, and for a long time has been under the care of Mr. Cathrow, her medical attendant. Last Friday I took the child out for an airing in the park, and returned at twelve o'clock, when, after giving the child its dinner, I put it to bed ; after which I went to Covent-garden-market to buy a peach. I returned at five minutes to four in the afternoon, when I found the door of my sister's room keked. I sent the landlady up stairs to see if the child was in its cot, and receiving an answer in the negative, I immediately went to Mr. Catbrow's, and in a short time I returned with that gentleman. Mr. Cathrow did not succeed in obtaining admittance until he procured a poker, with which he broke in a panel of the door. On doing that he put his head through the aperture, and said, " Oh, 'what a sight 1" Withdrawing himself, he put me through the opening, when I found my sister lying on the floor as though she were dead, and on the bed was the baby covered over with a pillow. I then opened the door and admitted Mr. Cathrow, and at the same time I drew his attention to the fact that the baby moved. My sister did not say anything. I had never heard her say that she would destroy herself. In answer to a juryman—She has been in very low spirits. She was not subject to fits. I had no suspicion that she would do harm to tho child. Mr. Wm. Cathrow, M.R.C.S., of 42, Weymouth-street, Portland-place, said—Tbe mother of the child was highly nervous, obstinate in the extreme, and jealous. She told me that she could not survive unless she got on friendly terms again with Mr. Chappel, and that she should be driven to do something to herself. For the last three or four days she had been so much excited that I thought it desirable to call in another medical man, and on the very morning when the deed was committed I and my friend saw her. Mr. Byam, of Welbeck-street, accompanied me, and we left with the impression that she would not do any harm to herself. When I went into the room she was lying on the sofa reading the Bible. I told her she was going the very best way to keep Mr. Chappel from her on account of the annoyance she had given him ; that if she would only leave off these annoy ances I had reason to believe he would settle a very hand scme sum upon her. She smiled several times, and said she would think of what I had said. The witness corroborated her sister's evidence, and continued—l first went to the child after entering the room, thinking the woman was dead. I took the child up and gave it to the servant. Turning to the right I saw the mother lying on the floor. I touched her, and she said " Ohl" I examined her, and found a jagged wound 41 inches in length on the left side of the neck, and the jugular vein divided. She had bled profusely. She had no pulse, and was blanched and pale. The child was covered with blood. I had her stripped. I found a small clean cut wound about half an itch below the left nipple. I put a piece of plaster on it ; there was no hemorrhage afterwards. The child very soon became sick, and continued to vomit until its death, about 12.30 p.m. on Sunday. After the death of the chii'i I communicated with the police, who took posses sion of the body. I made a post mortem examination. After describing the condition of the body, the witness said that death was caused by vomiting and exhaustion, caused by the wound. The vomiting had been caused Ly the con striction of the stomach. By Mr. Sleigh—She was suppled with every comfort by Mr. Chappel. Ile was prepared and offered to make a liberal settlement upon her, to sever the immoral connexion which had existed between them. _ By a Juryman—l had no reason to believe that, in conse quence of any supposed neglect, abe would destroy herself. John Suns, inspector of police D division, said —In con sequence of a letter I received from Mr. Cathrow, I, in com pany with Police-constable Isaacson, 264 D, went to 108, Marylebone•road, on Sunday last, o'clock. I found in the front room, first floor, a chbieldd. lying dead in a cot. In the back room a woman wasid the bed about a quarterl to . 2 curtains of the bed on the near side and the head _ spurted from a wound. were covered with blood, as if it had op daggers which 'sliame on it. It was had blood on it. There was ILO Behind the shutter the constable found a a lecture on sheathed.

The sports of the day consisted of a variety of matches, in which ships' boats, lugger sails, and yachts of all nations were engaged, but the principal interest centred in the four-oared cutter match open to the world, and for which eight crews entered, viz., four from Dieppe, one from Havre, two from Brighton, and Bain's well-known crew of Lambeth. cl o w miles i ff d i e w a t a. ~hesa furtherb de p f if r i o, pier head, Threeetihderneetaffirust pmaratticohuelsarhaavr'p preparations for the fourth weremg been very well contested, appeared d dily made.

No sooner was the flag lowered than the oars of all the crews plunged into the water, and the eight boats got off in capital style. The Lambeth crew took the lead, maintained it throughout, and won the match in gallant style by ten or twelve hoat lengths. One of the Dieppe boats was second, The names of the winning crew were—G, Green, bow ; W. Bell, 2 ; J. Mackinney, 3; R. Bain, stroke ; and J Hill, cox. W ithout leaving their boat the crew were joined by E Carter and A. Hopkins, and rowed directly to the sta tion to start for the six oared match, which was for a sum of money and a gold medallion. The competitors for the match soon got into position, and an even start was effected, but, as in the former instance, the Lambeth crew took the lead and won the race easily by about eight or nine lengths, amidst the cheers of the English residents. The prizes were presented to the winners by the Prefect of Dieppe, at the Grand Pavilion, his Worship congratu- luting the Englishmen on their easy victory. The Lambeth crew put up at Harvey's Hotel, Quai Duquesne, where they were welcomed in true English style. The boat they rowed in was built by Mr. E. Wyld, of Lambeth. We believe the same crew are about to compete for prizes in Belgium and other parts of the continent. The above is the same crew who carried off the prize of the Emperor of the French at Boulogne, and, though Eng lishmen, they were congratulated by the foreigners on the high condition they were brought to the post by Mr. Bain, their trainer. Odd Fellows' Fete at the Crystal Palace. The annual fete of the the various lodges of the Manches ter Unity, forming what are termed the London districts, took place yesterday in the People's Palace at Sydenham. A large number of visitors were expected to be present, con sequently the directors had the doors opened as early as 8 o'clock in the morning, and they were kept open for admis sion until the same hour at night. This was a very wise course, as it prevented a repetition of such crowding and squeezing as frequently occurred on previous occasions, The roads leading to the Palace—especially at Dulwich —where most of the parties halted to pay a flying visit to the Greyhound, were literally crowded with vehicles, most of Ihe male occupants being dressed in rich regalia. Upon taking the first return at 3 o'clock it was found that 23,393 persons had passed through the turnstiles, and even then they continued to flock in in large numbers, until at last the total visitors reached 27,826. The entertainments yesterday were admirably arranged by the committee—comprising amongst the most active, Mr. Burgess, the grand master of the whole order, and C.S. of the South London district, G. M. Mann, S. L. D. Bell, D. G. M. Griffin, P. G. Backster, P. G. Rough, P. G. Filsoll, P. G. Stevens, D. G. M. Mitchel, G. M. of the North Lon don district, Brockman, G. M. of the Stepney district, and Newman, C. 0. of the Pimlico district—and had it not been for the crowd pressing forward at one part of the day with great force could not have failed in giving satisfaction to the many thousands assembled together. One mishap, and only one, took place during the day, but that might have been attended with very serious consequences. A procession of probably a mile in length, consisting of members with flags, was formed. After passing along the gardens and terraces, each band playing, the parties repaired in front of the stage erected for Mr. Nelson Lee's entertainment. The back of the stage was filled by the London Irish Volunteers' Band, and the front was staked and roped off, but so great was the pressure from the crowd that some of the poles were broken, the ropes thrown down, and parties, to avoid be in g trampled upon, rushed upon the stage and the space behind. M. Chapino's ballet troupe managed to get through their Chinese divertissement in a manner to elicit the applause of as many thousands as could get near enough to see them. Mr. Mackney, who had been advertised to appear as well as Sam Collins, were both at their posts at the appointed time, but in order to get to the platform both gentlemen had to force their way through an immense mass of people. Mackney managed to get upon the stage, but the crowd increased to such an extent that the rifle band was obliged to hold their drums and brass instruments over the people's heads to save them from being broken, and Mackney found that the place was so crammed that it was impossible to go through his performances. Mr. Nelson Lee tried with all his humorous and persuasive powers for the crowd to make way, but without success, and conse quently he was obliged to leave the stage, and so was Sam Collins. The former, in leaving, got much bruised and roughly handled, though not purposely. Military sports of the Foot and Life Guards, fencing and broad-sword exercise by the 2d Life Guards, dancing and the grand organ and orchestral performances, ended the day's amusement. The Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. The concluding meeting of the Institute, which has been occupied in its sittings at Rochester for an entire week, was held yesterday, when there was again a large attendance, the proceedings retaining their interest to the last. The Marquis Camden, K.G., presided, and was supported by Sir R. Kiroy, Lord Neaves, the Mayor of Rochester, the Provost of Oriel. the Rev. Mr. Hartshorne, Mr. Reach Smith, and other distinguished archeologists. On Monday evening the sections assembled in the County Court, when an interesting communication was made by Mr. J. G. Waller on " the Sepulchral Brasses in Kent," and the fine collection of brasses of the Cobham family, in Cob ham Church, as well as the brasses in various other churches in the county of Kent, were very fully described. A paper was also read by Mr. W. Warwick on " The Poet Gower, and his probable connection with the County of Kent." At the meeting of the sections of History and of Early and Medieval Antiquities, held yesterday morning, the first paper read was by the Rev. W. Stubbs, M.A., librarian to Archbishop of Canterbury, " On the Ancient Con nection between the Sees of Canterbury and Roches ter." In the course of an interesting paper Mr. Stubbs traced the intimate connection which from the earliest recorded period always existed between the two sees, n: Rochester being the see of the first suffragan bishop in Eg land, as well as the see of the first English bish o on, s v: a t n i l person of Itbamar, who held the see from 644 t .6105 gave was buried in Rochester Cathedral.

The Marquis Camden proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor and corporation of Rochester for their kindness in placing all the public buildings in the city at the disposal of the Institute during its sitting. Lord Neaves also proposed a vote of thanks to the Ken Archsalogical Society for the co-operation of that body in the proceedings of the Institute, and for contributing so many valuable articles to the museum. Complimentary addresses were also' delivered by Professor Willis and the Provost of Oriel ; and a cordial vote of thanks to the Marquis Camden for presiding over the meetings of the Institute during the week brought the proceedings to a close. In the afternoon a large number of the members of the Institute paid a visit to Cooling Castle , and Chile Church, in which two synods are stated to have been held during the Saxon period. A portion of the mem bers also visited Upnor Castle, erected for the better pro • tection of Chatham Dockyard during the reign of Eliza beth. The proceedings of a most agreeable week were brought to a close last evening, and the congress then broke up.

From Leith, Granton, Kirkcaldy, Burntieland, and from all parts of the surrounding country, people flocked in thousands to inspect the great iron-clad vessels. Leith exhibited the same scene of bustle and activity which it has done since the war vessels anchored in the Firth. Steamboats, small and large, decked out in all the colours that imagination can fancy, occupied berths along the piers, and crowded all the available jetties that could be spared for their accommodation. Crowds of people, such as have seldom before been Witnessed in Leith, swermed on the quays, battled with exorbitant masters of steam tugs about sailing regulations and fares, and fought their way by main force on to the decks of the boats that were to convey them to the fleet. One striking peculiarity of the crowds that thronged Leith from early morning to evening was the large number of country people that were to be seen, most of them dressed in holiday attire. These came from all parts of the country, evidently bent on enjoying themselves to the best of their ability, and all displaying great curiosity to mime the various wonders of the huge vessels about which they bad heard so much. Passengers had the utmost difliolty in getting on board the vessels of the squadron in consequence of the vast numbers of people that battled for precedence in being taken off the piers ; but the inconvenience experienced in being put aboard the fleet was nothing compared with the delays and annoyances which were to be endured in being taken off again. The greater portion of the immense con - course of people that went to the fleet insisted upon being put on board the Black Prince or the Warrior, and the con sequence of this, as might readily be expected, was to crowd these ships to such a degree that it was almost im possible to get alongside. For several hours the crush on these vessels was tremendous. Five and six steamers were to be seen at one time moored in rows around the ships waiting their turns to discharge their living freights, and the scenes at the gangways, which resulted from this, were both amusing and exciting. People were hurried on board as fast as the conductors of steam boats could urge them up the ladders, and yet, in spite of all this dispatch, the occu pants of many of the steamers were kept waiting for hours ere they could get on the decks of the iron -clads; and many of the captains of the steamers gave up the task of attempt ing to get on board in despair. In the afternoon the Duchess of Roxburghe, Mr. and Mrs. Graham Lawson, and a select party of ladies and gentlemen paid a visit to the flag ship Edgar, at the invi tation of the admiral. After lunching with the adriairal the party were conducted through the vessel by she officers, and spent some time inspecting the many interesting objects on board. The ship's band was stationed on the quarter deck during the afternoon,and discoursed some popular airs. In the afternoon William Lindsay, Esq., Provost of Leith, entertained Admiral Dacres and a large number of the officers of the fleet to dinner at his residence, Hermi- tage-hill. The dinner was served ih an elegant marquee, which was erected for the occasion, and the band of the Leith It , fle Volunteers was in attendance, and played a variety of popular music during dinner. In addition to the officers of the fleet there were present the consuls of the port, the members of the Leith town council, and a number of volunteer officers. THE LEITH BALE.—On Monday night the inhabitants of Leith gave a grand ball in honour of the officers of the fleet, in the Corn Exchange, which was tastefully decorates with banners and evergreens for the occasion. There w t.% a large and fashionable attendance, comprising lovilY°f elite of the neighbourhood.
