giftb Xbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) THE TRIAL OF SPENCER AND GRITTON. (Concluded from our Afternoon Edition.) The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. Ballantine for Spencer, and DA r. Giffard for Grit ton, addressed thejury at considerable length, and called witnesses to show that the prisoners were of e x c ell ent character and. conduct. Neither on their persons nor in their lodgings were there any evidences of their posses sing more money than their lawful means would supply, and they kept regular and early hours. After a long review of the facts by the Judge, the jury deliberated for forty minutes, and returned a ver dict of " Not Guilty," at four o'clock. There are some other indictments against both pri soners, on which they are detained. GERMANY. The Government of the Grand Duchy of Baden, anxious to induce the great number of Jews who get their living in the duchy as hawkers, to take to agri cultural pursuits, has given a sum of money to the Central Society of Agriculture to be distributed in premiums to such Jew pedlars as may, before the end of next year, consent to become agricultural labourers. Baron de Werther, who has been for some time at Copenhagen, on an extraordinary mission from the Xing of Prussia, has just been definitively nominated Minister Plenipotentiary of Prussia to the Danish Court. The appointment is considered a proof that a good understanding has been come to between Den mark and Prussia relative to the succession to the Danish Crown. The Gonice Polaki, a Polish journal, attributes the arrest of Count Adam Potocki to the following cause: —ln 1848 the Count was Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of Cracow, and as such he ordered a certain quantity of muskets from England to arm the men under his command. The muskets arrived at Ilaknburg'n in due season, but remained there unused, becau.e their situation was no longer the same. The Austrians having afterwards occupied Hamhurgh, found the muskets addressed to the Count, and in con sequence his arrest was determi❑ed on. ITALY. The Milan Gazette publishes the following notifi. cation:— • " Iu order to give the inhabitants of the Lombardo -Venetian kingdom a pro,,f of the paternal solicitude of the Imperial and Royal Government, and the unvaried clemency of our august Sovereign, his Excellency Field- Mazhal Count Radetzky has, in virtue of the authority his liajsty has been pleasyd to entrust to his hands, di rect,n that ad persons not belonging are now undergoing punishment for to the army, who p o litical transgres sion,: of minor importance, owing to the state of siege, shah receive a free pardon, provided their punishments, whether directly itflicted by courts-martial or mitigated by the pre-Ading cfficers, do not e xceed a year of :Ample military acrest. In cmisequenco of which all civilians now in prison uuder the circumstances defined above shall immediately be set at liberty. " The Military Commandant, Count GYULAY. " Oat. 8, 1851." The Costituzionale of Florence states that, in con sequence of the new postal regulations stipulated with France, Tuscany will henceforth receive letters from Paris in five days instead of eight. TEXAS. There seems to be a dreadful state of morals and soci IA life upon the frontiers of Texas. The papers just received from Galveston, San Antonio, and Brownsville are filled with details of homicide, rob beries, and personal violence. The Indians are com mitting frigntful ravages on the Rio Bravo, and a revolution is oa foot in Tamaulipas, aided by Texan volunteers. The following bloody duel at Brownsville, on the 7th inst ,is a specimen of the occurrences on the frontiers :—" We have to record an unfortunate oc currence in our streets, which has produced - con siderable excitement. On Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, a dispute arose between Mr. W. H. Harrison, of this city, and 1141 r. G. W. Clarke, of Point Isabel, which re-ulted in the instant death of the latter. For some days past a serious mis understanding had existed between a brother of Mr. Harrison and the deceased, which threatened to end in a duel. On Sunday it seems to have been stopped, or in some way abandoned, and was regarded of little further importance. In the evening, about eight o'clock, the parties met acci dentally at the Gem, and another contest sprung up between the parties to this melancholy affair. A sort of informal duel, with five-shooters, was proposed and accepted on the instant in the street. They went out, and at fifteen paces commenced the contest. Both pistols missed fire in the first attempt ; the de cease& pistol missed a second time ; his antagonist fired without effect, and again fired a second time, when the deceased fell by a shot near the region of the heart. Though comparatively a stranger among us, he was buried on Monday, and his body attended to the grave by a large and respectable body of citizens. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Mr. Harrison, but he passed into Mexico before it could be executed. We learn that he will return in time to meet any in vestigation that the authorities may institute in the case. The character and position of the parties con cerned render it a melancholy event. Mr. Clarke was nearly forty years of age, and his antagonist several years his junior."—lVew York Tribune. THE RIVER PLATE. (From the Journal du .Havre.) By the Sirene, Captain Andoire, arrived at Bor deaux on Monday last, we have received news from the River Plate to the 10th August (on which day the Sirene left Monte Video), four days later than that brought by the last packet. It contains the re cite! of an exe c r a bl e d ee d , f or wh i ch c i v ili se d nations cannot find terms of reprobation too strong, perpetrated by one of Oribe's generals. The following are the facts : On the Ist of August the national guard s of tb Colonicede parture had vent ure d t o man if est t h e i r satisfact i o nom at ed o f th e t roops o f t h e garr i son , c om manded by Lieutenant- General Moreno. At the same time they took little pains to conceal the fact that the en try of General s U rqu i za and Garzon into the Oriental terri tory-was not displeasing to them. Observing these symptoms of the tendency of public opinion, the police agents of Oribe hastened to inform Moreno, who was then encamped six leagues from Colonia. As soon as this officer had examined the reports of his spies he returned with ail speed to Colonia, bringing with him about 400 men and 200 horse, entered the town, and gave the signal for a general massacre ; men, " sus pected" children fell under the knives of the cut throats. Moreno, to excite by his example the fury of these assassins, with his own hands cut the throat of a y2ang man named N apo l eon Neves. Fear incidents marked the progress of this scene of carnage. These executioners, infuriated against their victims, were seen to mutilate them, to rob the corpses of their jewellery and earrings, and, not satisfied with cutting off their fingers and noses, to cut up their skins into strips to make ropes for their cart harness. The refinement of cruelty which can nibals inflict upon their ptisoners has been fairly sur passed by a lieutenant of Oribe. It is beyond a doubt that amongst the victims, the precise number of whom had not been ascertained at the departure of the last letters, was a Frenchman, who had been a long time established in Colonia, where he executed Daguerreotype portraits, and who had always kept himself aloof from the political affairs of the country. This unhappy man has been basely massacred. At the moment when the cut-throats of Moreno entered Colonia he was enjoying the amus e . ment of fishing. Two of the wretches were expressly detached from the troop to put an and to him, and a few moments afterwards his mutilated corpse was stretched upon the shore. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

SUGAR.—To-day a great demand was experienced for West India Sugar, both for the pan and grocery purposes. Merchants displayed firmness, obtained rates fully equal to those of Friday for all qualities and in some cases 6d above. The purchases are 2,060 hhds, &c., including:at auction 177 hhds, 2 trcs, Barbadoes, which sold at 6d per cwt advance; fine yellow realizing 39s to 40s; good 36s 6d to 38s 6d; mid 35s to 35s 6d; ord 33s 6d to 345; hnd mid grainy 36s to 375. 111 hhds 23 tierces and 17 barrels ocher sorts went a previous valuations, Trini dad mid yellow at 32s to 32s 6d; St. Kitts, good mid 33s 6d to 345; low 31s 6d ; Antigua ord yellow 325; and fine brown 31s to 31s 6d. REFINED. —TO-day large parcels of Refined Sugar were taken for home consumption, and prices closed with firmness, brown lumps at 44s to 44s 6d;mid 465, and good titlers at 45s to 46s per cwt. There is not the least improvement in the export demand for crushed Sugar. 'MAURITIUS. - - This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in brisk demand, and an advance was established of 6d per cwt for all qualities. At auction 4,395 bags were sold, good mid and good yellow went at 35s 6d to 36s 6d; mid 33s 6d to 355; ord 32. s to 335; good to fine brown 30s 6d to 325; and ord to fine grey 31s to 36s per cwt. lEAST INDIA.—Tbis afternoon there was a greater de mand for Bengal Sugar, and full rates were obtained, indeed Benares and grainy realised an advance of 6d per cwt. At auction 8,100 bags were sold, fine white Be nares realised 41s to 41s 6d; good mid and good 39s to 40s 6d; low and raid 36s 6:1 to 38s 6d; damp and washed 35s to 40s 6d ; like Mauritius good and fine yellow 34s 6d to 36s 6d; low and mid 31s 6d to 345; good and fine grainy yellow 40a to 425; ord and mid 35s to 375; superior grainy white 47s 6d to 48s 6d; soft brown 24s to 263; low 22s 6d to 235. Of Madras ,826 bags sold with fair spirit at rather better rates— soft brown went at 24s 6d to 26s 6d; yellow 27s to 29s 6d for ord to good; and one small pile good grocery 35s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day a fair business was concluded pri vately in Foreign Sugar, both for the Continent and the the United Kingdom at last week's rates, but the parti- culars were not allowed to transpire. None is offered at public auction. MohassEs.—There is still little doing in West India, although rather lower rates have been acceded to. Small parcels of Antigua have been sold at 134 6d to 14s, low Barbadoes 123 to 12s 6d, St. Lucia and St. Kitts from 11s 6d to 12s 6d. In Bengal and Mauritius transactions aro trifling, although Ils to lls 6d have been accepted, trannelions in Cuba and Porto Rico are also small at 13s to 133 6d per cwt. Prices fur Molasses are 3s lower than in the previous year; and arrivals are less. Jamaica Honey continues to be wanted; low to mid at 363 to 42a, and better sorts at 44s to 56s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was not offered under 403 fun good ord, but few transactions occurred privately, and stone offered at auction. Full terms are demanded for Plantation Ceylon, and supply is yet moderate, at the same time only a limited home and export demand experienced. At public sale 142 casks and 74 bags were sold ; good mid is good went at 55s to 583 ; mid 52s to 54s ; low mid 49s to 51s ; better sorts 43s 6d to 48s. and Pea Berry at 50s 6d to 62s for good. Mocha was dull of sale and 21 per cwt cheaper. At auction 39 bla and 34i bales eel d at 68s 6d to 69s ed for mid greenish clear garbled ; and triage at 42s 6d to 455. In other sorts of Coffee the sales made privately are trifling. COCOA.—The market for West India remains in an unfavourable position, thera being few buyers with sellers at a reduction in previous terms of is to 2s per cwt. At auction 60 bags Trinidad were sold ; good to fiats red went at 44s to 47s Od ; ord to mid 39a to 435; and grey from 36s to 40s; whilst 460 bags Grenada were taken iu at 35s to 413 for mid to fine. Stock is 5,800 bags greater than at this date last season, and deliveries are upon a smaller scale. In Foreign, transactions are trifling, Bahia lied Para can be obtained at 27a to 27s 6d; and Guayaquil at 30s to 31s. TEA.—The oemand continues to increase for common arid ord Congou, considerable parcels have been pur chased for shipping and home consumption, still prices are not higher, and rule at 9d to 92d per lb. Other sorts have been operated iu with more freedom by home dealers, yet no advance has been estab lished mixed bLckish leaf selling at 10d to 11d, strong ditto 1 Itel to is rid: superior and Pekoe flavour Is Id to is bd.• In Oolong transactions have been upon a more extended scale at from Is to Is. 6p; but Souchong continues to be operated in with caution, although offered at 9d to lld for com mon and middling; good to fine is to 2s. There is decidedly more doing in good and fine green, full rates are obtained, and a less quantity is offered for sale; but inferior is yet plentiful, and few buyers to be met with; holders also are free sellers at previous mode rate terms. Prices for Hyson of ord and mid quality rule at is to is 4d, good to fine Is 5d to 2s, superior 2s 2d to 2s 8d; Young Hyson, fine 2s to 2s 6d, mid to good is 2d to is 10d; Canton made 10d to is Id; Gunpowder 8d to Is; Hyson sort is 2d to 3s, and superior 3s 2d to 38 6d. The better descriptions of scented and Pekoe Teas are pur chased more freely, yet previous terms are readily ac ceded to, whilst inferior and spurious sorts are neglected, and can be obtained at low rates. Rim—To-day the business done privately in East India was small, and the rates taken are rather ander those of Friday. For auction 12,000 bags are declared mostly Madras. Giticzn. —To- day a public sale of 250 brls Jamaica went at full rates; fine realized 81 lls to 101 13s, and common to good 41 2s 6d to 51 16s per cwt. PIMENTO is stilt wanted, and realised lull terms. At auction to-day 250 bags were sold at slal to sd, but chiefly at sid to sid for mid and good quality. SPIRITS.— With Jamaica Rum the market is well sup plied, and only limited tranactions have taken place. On the part of merchants a desire is evinced to sell fine quality 33 to 38 per cent over proof at 3s to 48 Id, good mid and good 32 to 34 over 2s 7d to 2s 11d; low and mid 28 to 30 over 2s 3d to 2s 6d. An impression exists that rather lower rates will prevail. Demerara has been in good request; there is, however, no advance; the parcels sold were at 2s Id to 2s 4d for 32 to 40 per cent over proof, and 26 to 30 ditto at is 10d to is I Id, but chiefly at former rates. Leeward Island met with more attention, and 350 pns, &c., were disposed off at is 5d to is 6d proof. Havannah has eben sold to a fair extent at is 2d to is 2id proof. In Brandy prices rule for first Brands of the vintage of 1850 at 43 4d to 4s 6d ; 1849 ditto 4s 7d to 4s 9d; 1846 ditto 5s to 5s 2d; older 5s 6d to 63 4d; low to 'mid 2s 9d to 3s Od; Bordeaux 2s 2d to 3s 4d. British made Spirit can still be obtained at 9s 5d to 9a 9s 6d proof; Gin at 7s 10d for 22 under, but there is a good demand. Geneva is rather more in request at Is 6d to is Bd. and fine atels 9d to 2s per gallon. FRure.—Prices have declined for new Currants at 408 to 42s per cwt., a good business has been done; but old remains dull of sale at 24s to 365. New Valencia Raisins 378 to 38s, old 26s to 295.

Ord and low qualities of Bengal, of which there were several marks this day, con tinue to go off heavily at about 2d to 3d discount on the last sale's rates, whilst for mid and good sorts fit for shipping, the competition appears to be greater as the sale proceeds, and the rates previously established are fully supported.

Hare, who is an Episcopalian, requested the counsel and advice of the Rev. Mr. Smith, of Milend, who has been ministering to him such consolation as is fitting for his awful condition. The execution is fixed to take place on Thursday, the 23d inst., which is our autumnal sacramental fast-day, and in the event of no reprieve, as far as we can learn, it is not likely that . this stated day of preparation will interfere with the carrying into effect the last sentence of the law.— Glasgow Post.

He did not return at his usual hour in the evening; but after a while his dog appeared, barking mournfully. The animal refused to enter the house, and barked and ran about as if inviting some one to follow. When he perceived that he was followed, he went direct to the field, and there beneath a tree was found his unfortunate master bathed in blood, with several deep wounds in different parts of his person. The man was taken home, and medical assistance was procured, but he died in the course of a few hours. It is not known by whom or for what .cause he was stabbed.

LAMBETH. John Ladwize Plaiston Texpand, alias Count de Chahane, alias the Marquis de St. Marinee, a tall, dark, middle-aged man, of rather remarkable appear ance, who described himself as having been an officer in the East India Company's service, and who had been taken at the Exhibition on Saturday evening last, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of giving a false character to William Wardell, by which he had obtained a situation in the service of Mr. Joseph Haydon, a magistrate and banker at Guildford. Mr. Haydon deposed that at the latter end of the month of August last he caused an advertisement to be put in the Times for an in-door male servant, and in reply received a communication from William Wardell, the person who was at present under exa mination at this court on a charge of attempting to defraud the South-Western Railway Company out of 201. Wardell having presented a three years cha racter, signed "the Marquis de St. Marinee," and strongly recommending him as a sober, honest, and excellent servant, he engaged him, and he (Wardell) remained in his house until taken into custody by Sergeant Goff on the charge of attempted fraud. Police-constable Richard Taurle, 163 L, said tha, he had known the prisoner for some years as Coun Chabean, and understanding that a warrant had been taken out against him for giving a false character, he took him into custody on Saturday afternoon at the Exhibition. When witness first knew the prisoner he lived at Melbourne-square, Brixton, and at that time he thought Wardell was in his service. This was about the latter end of the year 1846, or the be ginning of 1847, and in 1847 he knew him to be in the Queen's Bench Prison. In 1849 witness knew the prisoner to live in the Palace New-road, where he went by the name of the Marquis de St. Marinee. Sergeant Goff said that in a writing-desk, which the prisoner Wardell claimed as his property, he found several letters written by the prisoner, and amongst them the draft of the character he had given him to Mr. Hayden. He had also found in the possession of the landlady of Wardell (Mrs. Steers) a quantity of letters belonging to the Marquis (the prisoner), which he had not yet sufficient time to look through. From inquiries he had made he (Goff) found out that at the very time the prisoner gave the character to Wardell he was a prisoner in Maidstone Gaol for debt, and had been there for some time. Respecting Wardell he (Goff) had, in addition to the present charge of attempted fraud on the railway, three dis tinct charges of felony to prefer on a future day. He should further, he thought, be able to prove that War dell had been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey, and he very much doubted that the "Marquis" was wholly unacquainted with his real character. The prisoner admitted that Wardell had not lived in his service altogether for more than two years, though he had given him a character for three, but said that he always believed him to be a man of ex cellent character. In reply to a question from Mr. ELLIOTT in re ference to assuming the different titles, the prisoner said that, though born in England, he was the son of a Sardinian gentleman who had been for many years a resident in London, and also for some years of his life a magistrate for the county of Middlesex ; and added that he was entitled to the dignities he (the prisoner) had assumed in right of his father. In proof of this, he said he had no doubt there would be found amongst his papers a communication from Prince Albert in reply to a communication from him excusing himself from not attending her Majesty's Courts on account of his pecuniary difficulties. He was, however, engaged in a Chancery suit, where property to a large amount belonging to his family was involved, and was in daily expectation of an ad vance of 1001. from the City. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that, according to the pri soner's own showing, the character given to Mr. Haydon of Wardell was a false one, and he should therefore remand him until the day Wardell would be brought up, but should have no objection to re ceive good bail for his appearance. SOUTHWARK. Charles Stewart, a tall powerful man, with one o: his arms in a sling, was placed at the bar before Mr i'Beckett, charged under the following circum. stances : A policeman stated that the defendant stood in one of the crowded thoroughfares of that neighbour hood, with a placard affixed to his breast, describing that be had met with a dreadful accident by the bursting of a boiler on board a steam-vessel ; that he was entirely deprived of the use of his left hand, and that his collar-bone, as well as three of his ribs were broken; and that, iu fact, he was rendered totally incapable of earning his livelihood, and it concluded by soliciting the charitable feeling of the passengers. The policeman added that the personal appearance of the defendant, he being a very tall athletic man, and the circumstance of having the placard produced at tached in front of his breast generally attracted a crowd, and had the effect of causing an obstruction on the footway. When the defendant was taken into custody nearly 3s. in halfpence were found in his pockets, which there was no doubt he had collected in a very short space of time. The defendant still asserted that he had met with the accident described in the placard ; but the magis trate, doubting the truth of it, directed that he might be examined by the police surgeon. This having been done, the surgeon stated that, although the man's left hand had sustained some slight injury, still that it was not of so serious a nature as to prevent him from working, and that with respect to his collar bone and ribs, they were perfectly sound. Mr. A'BECEETT, in strong terms, reprobated the conduct of the defendant, - whom he denominated a gross impostor, for endeavouring to excite sympathy by such means as he had adopted; in the first place, he had not lost the use of his hand, and it was untrue that his collar-bone or ribs were broken. There was no doubt the defendant was a lazy, idle fellow, and that instead of obtaining his livelihood by honest means, be put in practice a system of imposture for which he (the magistrate) should sentence him to six weeks' imprisonment. THAMES. James East and William Phaler, two privates be longing to the East India Company's Sappers and Miners, were charged with wantonly and maliciously damaging a cab, No. 1,348. Christopher Young, a respectable man, wearing the badge No. 7,980, said he was driver of the cab No. 1,348. It was nearly new, and the inside of it had been recently lined with a very expensive blue cloth and crimson velvet cushions and back. On Sa turday night, after he had taken two ladies from the Blenheim Hotel, in Bond-street, to the Great Western Railway, ha was hired in Portman-street by the two prisoners and a corporal, to drive them to High-street, Whitechapel. The corporal rode outside and the pri soners inside. On setting down his fare in White chapel he discovered that the inside of the cab had been cut to pieces. The leather of the roof was de stroyed, the cushions " hacked and slashed about," the windows scratched, and the panels of the door cut and scored. He immediately spoke to the prisoners about it, and asked them why they had been cutting his cab to pieces. They said they knew nothing about it, and referred to the corporal, who had been riding on the box. The corporal said he knew nothing of the affair, and walked away. The prisoners, who were slightly intoxicated, were given into custody. In answer to questions by Mr. YARDLEY, the wit ness said he put the cushions in the cab, turned them over, and put the crimson curtains in order only a minute before he was hailed, and was taking his horse's nose-bag off when he was hailed by the sol diers. Everything inside the cab was then in a per fect state. If anything had been torn or cut when the prisoners got into the vehicle it could not have escaped his attention: The prisoners, in their defence, said the damage was not committed by them ; they knew nothing of it. No knife was found on them, and they had no thing in their possession to cut the cloth and cushions with. Charles Milden, a coach trimmer, said the cab was one of the best fitted in London, and the repairs would coat 2/. 12s. The prisoners said the driver exclaimed, when he opened the door to let them out, "My cab is ruined ; you have done 101. worth of damag e to it. Mr. YARDLEY ordered the prisoners to pay 31. to the cabman, including 4s. for himsel f and 4s. for his witness, or be imprisoned one month. The penalty was paid. WANDSWORTH. John Stabbings, a pointsman , s u rrendered to his bail before Mr. Poynter, on the charge o f improperly shifting the points at the Nine Elms junction of the London and South-Western Railway, thereby en dangering the lives of the passengers. Mr. W. Wadham Young, the superintendent of the South-Western Railway, informed the magistrate that since the last examination the poor fellow, Wil liam Matthews, had died from the effects of the in • juries he had sustained. A coroner's inquest had been held, at which the jury returned a verdict of accidental denth. The prisoner was present during the investigation, and the same evidence was adduced before the coroner as that heard at that court. He (Mr. Young) had no additional evidence to offer, with the exception that there was another pointsman pre sent in court, who saw the prisoner at the points just before the train arrived, and they were then right for the Waterloo terminus. There was no doubt the prisoner had turned them over inadvertently. Mr. PAYNTER said the verdict of the jury appeared to acquit the prisoner of all blame. He should put the case off for a certain time, in order that he might have an opportunity to inspect the points before he gave his decision. The prisoner's bail was then enlarged, and he was ordered to appear on the 10th of November. HAMMERSMITH. John King, aged 16 years, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paynter, charged with stealing a quantity of walnuts, from the lawn of Mulgrave House, Ful ham, the residence of Lord Ranelagh. Lord Ranelagh deposed that his house was on the banks of the Thames, and the lawn and gardens were exposed to the river. He had been much an noyed by gangs of men landing upon his grounds from boats, and stealing the fruit. On Sunday morning he saw two persons in the gardens peeling walnuts, and on approaching unseen he found the prisoner and another man. The prisoner's com panion made his escape. The prisoner denied having stolen the walnuts, and said he had been upon the grounds to get his hat. Witness was satisfied to the contrary, and took him back to the place where he first saw him, end there found a quantity of walnuts in his cap. Witness did not prosecute the prisoner for the value of the walnuts, but for the purpose of preventing these men from trespassing upon his grounds. Police-constable Bustfield, 48 N, took the prisoner into custody with the walnuts in his possession. Lord Ranelagh said he had been informed the pri soner had been in custody several times. Some of the men who had entered upon his grounds had threatened two ladies, as they were promenading the garden a few days since. The gardens were not sufficiently protected to prevent persons from landing from the river. Mr. PAYNTER said the case was a very bad one, more especially when the offence was committed on the Sabbath. If the prisoner was brought before him again he would not give him an opportunity of pay ing the fine, but would commit him to prison for a long term. On this occasion he fined the prisoner 205., or three weeks' imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up in default. A FEMALE LAWYER At the Colchester Registration Court, a short time since, "William Greenwood, a Conservative elector, was objected to by the Radicals, on the ground of insufficient value of his house. Mrs. Greenwood stated that she rented a house, piece of garden, and a pump in Cistern-yard, North -hill, for which she paid 271.105. In cross-examination by Mr. Philbrick, Mrs. Greenwood said the pump stood in a yard common to other houses ; that the value of her house alone was about 51., and that the annual rent she paid for the pump was 201. His Honour said a pump was cer tainly a very queer thing to give a vote, but it might do so for aught he knew at present.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Greenwood, in reply to Mr. Philbrick, added that the garden almost immediately adjoined the house, the gate by which it was entered being close by it. His Honour said the only question was whether the pump could be considered appurtenant to the house, there being nothing to connect it with it. The pump could hardly be considered in the nature of a building. Mrs. Greenwood—l beg your pardon, sir ;itis a copper pump, and cased in wood ; so that it is a build ing. There is a large cistern and two pumps at tached to it, which are covered in.—(Laughter). Mr. Church said it might appear yet, if the good woman's description were right, that the pump did come within the description of a building. His Honour—Yes ; it appears that this lady is a better lawyer than either of us.—(Laughter.) After a further description of the property, his Honour said he was afraid he should not understand it properly unless he went to look at it. Mrs. Greenwood—l really wish you would, sir. His Honour—l will then, for as she describes it it appears to me a very good building.—(Laughter.) As the good lady left the court she again urged his Honour would make a personal inspection of the place. His Honour—Very well ; I will call and see you - again.—(Renewed laughter.) It appears that his Honour punctually kept his en gagement, and on the following day in court gave a description of the pump upon which the voter claimed as part of his occupation, and said he was of opinion that, from its peculiar construc tion, it might fairly come under the deno mination " building," and a much more valuable one, too, for the particular uses to which it was applied, than many a miserable shed, used only perhaps as a tool-house, which frequently assisted to qualify a voter. The value of the entire occupation was then , beyond question, and therefore the vote might be al lowed.--Essex Paper. SHIP NEWS. GRA.TESEND, OCT. 13,—Wind, S.W., moderate, cloudy.

SOUTII DEVON RAILWAY'S FIRST DIVIDEND.- - The shareholders have just received their first dividend, at the rate of 1 per cent., since the first commencement of the line, now SONS Fix years since. ROYAL ASSOCIATION for IMPROVING the CONDITION of the LABOURING CLASSES. WINDSOR, MoNDAr.—The annual meeting of the Royal Association for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes took place this afternoon, at Clay Hall Farm, near this town, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the president of the association, occupying the chair, supported by General Wemyss, the Marquis of Abercorn, Colonel Reid, M.P., and the elite of the gentry of the south of Buckinghamshire. A rumour that his Royal Highness would preside and distribute the prizes with his own hand having been circulated for some days previously, a vast con course of spectators, chiefly of the middle classes, assembled at the spot. Although the event was fixed for four o'clock the field was crowded long before two, the spectators amusing themselves with watching a ploughing-match, as that agricultural pursuit formed ono of the eight classes to which rewards were distri buted. Clay Hall Farm originally belonged to Mr. C. S. Cantrell, of Windsor, but it was purchased by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and a portion of it added to the Home-park, the remainder being about to be devoted to agricultural purposes, on the " high .. farming system." The place selected was about 400 yards from the Long Avenue, and the preplrations for his Royal Highness's reception had evidently occupied a good deal of attention. In the centre of several large tents was one, the size and construction of which suffi- ciently denoted the purpose for which it was intended. It was built partly on framework, and was in the Turkish style, with a tall cone at each end of an ob long hall. These cones were surmounted by two large half moons, and the edges were fringed with blue and scarlet cloth, ornamented with gilt crescents and balls. This erection was formerly the property of William IV., and had not, it was stated, been used since last required by that monarch. At either end of this pavilion were smaller tents, those on the one side containing the agricultural produce forwarded for in spection, and the others containing specimens of cot tage handicraft, such as spinning, knitting, needle work, carpenters' work, basket making, &c., forming in fact a kind of exhibition of domestic industry ; no very formidable rival to the national exposition, but sufficiently interesting to those who had at heart the objects of the association, viz., the encouragement of prudent and economical habits, sobriety, cleanliness, and industry, among the labouring classes, whether industrial or agricultural. In order that those on the ground should not become wearied by waiting for the promised Royal visit, a military band was posted near the marquees, and their exertions contributed much to enliven that most monotonous of occupations, viz., awaiting some promised amusement or event of interest. The field committee consisted of Major-General Wemyss, Colonel F. Seymour, W. H. Wrench, Esq., the Rev. S. Neville, the Rev. T. T. Carter, Mr. C. S. Cantrell, Mr. Hughes, H. Foley, Esq., R. Mangles, Esq., and the Rev. J. C. Lucena. All these gentle men were upon the ground, and were assiduous in their exertions to provide for the comfort'and conve nience of those who were fortunate enough to obtain tickets to enter within the enclosure. Notwithstand ing the density of the crowd very good order , was kept, and the police had comparatively a sinecure., A few bonnets suffered in the melee, but the wearers ap parently conscious of the superiority of their own ma terial, seemed to fear little for themselves, and to trouble themselves as much as to their apparel. In front of the pavilion a semicircle was formed by the children of the Cumberland Ragged School, to many of whom prizes were awarded for works of domestic industry, while small gratuities were promised to those whose teachers should report most favour ably of their application, cleanlines, and general conduct. At a few minutes to four his Royal Highness ar rived on horseback, and having taken the chair amidst loud cheers, the report was read by H. Wrench, Esq., hon. secretary. From this document it appeared that the objects of the association were to make domiciliary visits to the cottages of the labouring classes, and according to their merits to recommend them as candidates for prizes at the annual meeting of the association. The present condition of the society was very prosperous, although from the number of candidates the committee did not feel themselves justified in assigning rewards of any great amount. The good which bad been effected in the various parishes where this system bad been carried out was sufficiently evident, and they trusted that when it became more generally known, and its merits more fully appreciated, the association would receive the general support which its objects and en terprise deserved. The report, recommended also that the system of domiciliary visitation should he commenced earlier in the year, and more continu ously observed, as by that means the general and uni form good conduct of those recommended would be ensured. At the conclusion of the reading of this do- cument, His Royal Highness proceeded to distribute the prizes in the following order s To the labourers who had brought up their fami lies in honest, sober, and industrious habits without parish relief, except in cases of sickness—to George Jeanes 11., to Thomas 011 away 11., to William Hamlet 103. to John Willis, 10s. To the widow of a labourer who had brought up his family in honest, sober, and industrious habits, whether with or without parish relief—Susannah Perrin 11. To families distinguished for cleanliness and tidiness in house and person—Tindal, Mayne, Parsons, Bean, Pierse, Curtis, Elkington, Bartlett, Puddle, Hart, Bosker, Cripps, Drake, and Shee, sums of 1/., 155., and 103., according to their respective merits. To well-conducted servants, male or female, who have lived for the longest period of service in the same situation—Howard, Ezell, Kingston, Kudick, Hunt, Lane, Stockbridge, Ing, Quelch, Eades, Woodison, Cane, Foster, and Duly, sums of 11. and 15s. Of the persons who received prizes in this de partment some had been in service as many as 50 years, while it was a common thing to find many of them extending over periods of from 30 to 40 years. Two of the recipients had worked on the royal farms 25 and 30 years respectively. To the best cultivators of gardens or allotments, being also persons of honest, sober, and good moral character—Spong, Pratt, Green, Bateman, and Little wood, sums of 11., 155., and 10s. Prizes were also given to the ploughmen who had most creditably acquitted themselves in the per formances of the day, and to labourers, for the best collection of vegetables, approved specimens of handi craft, and needlework. One of the principal prizes for needlework was, curiously enough, awarded to a drummer of one of the infantry regiments stationed at Windsor ; and rewards were granted to nearly all the children of the ragged schools of the town, for the ability they had displayed in various branches of in dustry. The prizes to the ploughmen were of the most valuable character, ranging from 21. ss. to 58. in the majority of cases the recipients of prizes were aged persons ; some of them very feeble, and hardly abled to reaoh the table at which his Royal Highness was sitting. They appeared to receive the awards with gratitude, and those who exhibited article had the additional gratification of being in formed that the Prince would inspect their handi work at the close of the distribution. It was generally expected that as soon as the distri bution of prizes ceased his Royal Highness would offer some observations on the objects of the associa tion, and the results which had been brought about. Instead of doing so he rose hastily from his seat and proceeded to the marquee, where the articles of the exhibition were placed. He inspected the whole of them with great minuteness and apparent interest, and spoke in the highest terms of praise of the ingenuity and skill which they had exhibited. His Royal High ness then remounted his horse and returned to the Castle amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the assembly. In the evening the members of the society dined together at the White Hart Hotel, Major-General Wemyss presiding. The speakers confined them selves to the discussion of matters connected with agriculture and the industrial arts, and made no re ference whatever to party politics. At this meeting the healths of her Majesty and Prince Albert (the patron of the society) were drunk in the most cordial manner. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Ocr. , 13.
