On Thursday a public dinner, to celebrate the return of the two Liberal members for Norwich, took place at the Town -hall in that city, the guests consisting of about 1,000 electors. Lord Viscount Bury presided, supported by Messrs. Peto, M.P., and Warner, M.P., and the Mayor and Sheriff of the city. There were also present A. Hamond, Esq., W. Gwyn, Esq., T. M'Cullagh, Esq., W. N. Burroughes, Esq., J. Birkett, Esq., A. Keppell, Esq., and after the usual loyal and constitu tional toasts had been drank. The CHAIRMAN proposed the toast of the evening— " The health of Messrs. Peto and Warner." (Cheers.) They are personally known to most of the meeting. One of them, Mr. Peto, had steadily risen to his present po sition. His own hand had held the rudder of his fate —his own stout heart had been the architect of his for tune. It was no light thing to have distanced all com petitors in the race, to have amassed a princely fortune, —a fortune which he now spent with princely liberality. He was a dissenter but he was tolerant of all creeds. He was amongst the ablest of a difficult and learned profession, a profession in which he had made hundreds of miles of railroads in this and foreign lands, which tes tify to his 'skill ; and thousands of labourers on those railroads might date their moral improvement from the time when they enlisted in his service. As their repre sesentative in Parliament he bad steadily advocated Liberal and progressive politics. His colleagu e Mr. Warner, had not less solid c l a i ms t o the i r regard. 'Join ing to the most unaffected demeanour of a thorough gen tleman the scholarship of a really learned man, and the knowledge of the world necessary to make his way through it, he, like Mr. Peto, was tolerant of all creeds. Though he differed from him, and was a churchman, his toleration was equally extended. Mr. PETO, on rising, was greeted with cheers. He said —Gentlemen, I take this entertainment on your part as a two-fold testimony; in the first place that you approve ofthe career of my colleague and myself; that our prin ciples are your own; that you believe they a.re honestly and fearlessly expressed on all occasions ; and that you look at us simply as honest-minded intelligent public men, who believe in the same truths with yourselves ; and, in the second place, I take it as a protest against those calumnies which you feel are most unworthily and most unfortunately and dishonestly expressed with respect to ourselves. Gentlemen, I must speak plainly. I believe that at neither of the elections for the city of Norwich when I have had the honour of being returned, either by my opponents or my friends has one shilling been spent at which any honest man need blush. And I take it that you intend by your meeting to-night and by your assembly to-morrow night to express to the world, that while Norwich might blush for what has occurred in former times, she throws back the calumny with scorn, and asserts her independence and honesty. Gentlemen, the last election was an appeal to you on public principles. Lord Derby said his own opinions were un changed. He said it was for the people of England to pronounce. They did pronounce their opinion, and you pronounced yours by sending two anti-Derbyites to the House of Commons. Many constituencies did the same, and happily for England, Free -trade became a fact, and I appeal to you to say whether the results of Free-trade have not far exceeded all that the most ardent admirers had hoped, and has put aside all the fears that those who opposed it entertained. When Sir Robert Peel spoke of its effects, he referred to the day when the poor man, eating a large loaf in his humble cottage would bless his name ; and he considered that anticipation as the brightest forethought of his country's future. But not only has the poor man occasion to bless Sir Robert Peel's name, but the rich also, and the land owners must no longer feel afraid of plenty. (Applause.) Free-trade has established as a fact and a truth, that consumption ever treads bard upon the heels of supply. What is the limit of the consumption of the poor man ? His capacity to buy. What is the right of the poor man ? To buy the necessaries of life as cheap as he can. What is the effect of giving to the poor man his natural right ? That he is satisfied with the govern ment under which he lives. The throne has a broader basis, and all classes of society are bound together by a stronger cementing tie. Property becomes more valu able, not only from the fact of former fears being dis pelled, but also from the fact, that property is on a more secure basis, in the satisfaction of the poor man in participating in the prosperity of the rich. Gentle men, we that are Liberal are supposed to be disloyal. I say that the Liberal man is a Reformer, and the more he is a Reformer, the more he is a Liberal, and in that sense he is the more loyal man, because he is the friend of the throne. He is endeavouring to base it deep in the affections of a well satisfied and prosperous and happy people. Well, gentlemen, I said to you that I believed Sir Robert Peel is a name which this country will ever bless, not only for his exertions in promoting Free trade, but this country owes him a second debt, for training up certain men in opinions of his own, and in practical governmental experience of his own ; and we owe him a debt of gratitude for the fact of their associa tion in the present Ministry. I need only refer to a few things now become patent, showing that during the last session, there has been a greater amount of practi cal legislation, conferring a greater amount of benefit to the subject, than in any previous session. I state as a fact, that no government is good for this country that is not in the first place a strong government ; and in the second place, possessed of men of business habits, of in telligent minds, of right-minded honest convictions, de termined to carry out those convictions. I felt that the present Government merited my support, and I have given it a hearty, and I trust, an intelligent, and inde pendent support. Let me point to one or two measures of the present Government. Look to the Charitable Trusts Bill. Those of you who are associated with the legal profession must know the enormous sums it has cost this country to dispense the enormous sums which this country has a right to possess by way of charity. We had something like 50 millions a-year, for which we had not, up to the present time, any tribunal to which you could apply, either for the proper distribution, or, in the event of abuse, for correction. That has now been accomplished. I might point to a second measure which I believe, from my own peculiar knowledge of the sub ject, to be one of the greatest measures of the session—l mean the Clergy Reserves Bill. I have been largely concerned in Canadian affairs ; and I have extensive ac quaintance in that country ; and, I must say, that if Lord Derby's Government had remained in office another year, he would have lost that country. Instead of treat ing her as an independent connection, able to administer her own affairs, and founding, both in Australia and Canada two great Anglo-Saxon empires, we should, if we had not granted the principle of self-government, have given America another state, instead of having a state associated with ourselves. I will only refer to one other measure—the Budget of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. lam sure you must have been satisfied that there was a large amount of good in the budget, to have made you content with a seven year's imposition of the income-tax. When you felt that in the succession duty there was a virtual abandonment of all class-legislation —when you felt that the riches of the rich man would be touched as well as the necessaries of the poor man— then you felt that legislation was proceeding on an honest basis, and that you should bear the burden for a time till the whole could be placed on a satisfactory footing. Gentlemen, the financial legislation of Great Britain will ever be its most important feature. We are essentially a commercial people. We are not ashamed to be called what Napoleon called us—a nation of shopkeepers. We are essentially connected with commercial industry, and dependent on its just development, and we cannot have that development which gives wages to the poor man ; employment to the manufacturer; satisfaction to the landed interest ; business to the man of business-146s the finances of the State are held by a practical hand, and true justice is administered equally and alike to all classes. It is because this principle has been carried out that you have felt content to bear that burden, and the House of Lords, I must say, did most gracefully accept the measure, believing that the people of Engl an d were determined to hav e substantial justice, and the House of Lords felt it right to accord it. One word as to the foreign policy of the present Ministry, I do not hesitate to say that I thoroughly approve of it. Lord John Russell's maxim of doing all that can be done to main tain an honourable peace before we go to war, commends itself to my mind, and I believe you can only have an honourable peace by being perfectly prepared for war. You cannot in the present state of nations help those enormous armaments, and while they exist, never let us be ashamed to keep up a navy that will face the world, and an army equal to all its antecedents. I hope ardently and sincerely that the day will came when all those will be only held in remembrance, but we must deal with facts as we find them, and foreign nations as they place themselves in juxtaposition with us. Always re collect, that while I desire peace, I shall ever assist her Majesty's Government in maintaining all that is neces sary to go to war. Now, gentlemen, what are we pro mised and expecting in the next session ? If I may take as my text the speechof Sir James Graham, at Carlisle, as the exponent of the Peel section of the Ministry, we shall have a hearty, thoroughgoing, searching, intelli gente reform. (Applause.) With nothing less than that shall I ever be content, and to the full extent of that, be assured, my colleague desires and wishes as much as I do. With respect to this, we can only look to the future as to what we may expect ; an d whether I come to you again as one who has voted against her Majesty's Ministers on some of the sections of the New Reform assured I will accept Bill, or supported them, res no thing on your part that I don'tthink equal to the neces sities of the nation. I thinkthey the Ministry are bound to wish, but what they can propose, not only what carry. It is of no use for Ministers to propose what will throw themselves out of office, and place the people out of the reach of getting what they have a right to de mand. (Applause.) Therefore you must not be angry if the New Reform B ill is not all you can desire. I thought it right to sa y this in all honesty, because a Ministry must; consider what they can carry as well as what they would like to propose. (Cheers.) Mr . WARNER, in returning the advocates of a reac tionary - thanks, said—The didgreat policy, s t r uggle of last year between and a nationdefending when its they sa w the conduct of t he strife, rights, not but augur well for~ the cause of liberty de and the tactics of th e parties who were engaged in it. On the ono s id e all was unan imity and friendship, good-will and forbearance for the feelings and the shades of opinion which might b e e ntertained by others, and there was a determina tion old c ause, and to fight together, for the goo d w i n it ; and on the other side there was nothing but vacillation, infirmity of purpose, and uncertainty o f a im—there was a Government without ability and without principle, which, by some extraordinary means had succeeded to power when no one had expected it, who bad taken the nation by surprise, who came in putting nothing forward in their public policy, and af fecting to depend upon the will of the nation, but all the time they evinced no feeling stronger, in every act, than a fear, and dread, and distrust, and dislike of that great iGt.Westn, IDo IDo Do L.&N.W Caledon Gt.Nrthn. iGt.

They ap peared to be for ever undermining the liberties which they hated, and fighting against the disaffection which they dreamed of, whilst they boasted and fancied to themselves that they alone were called and gifted to stem the torrent of an imaginary deluge. Gentlemen, the fortunes of the great Conservative party, as it was called, must have been at a very low ebb indeed, when they found it necessary to commit the high post of the leadership of the House of Commons and the great finan cial interests of the nation to Mr. Disraeli —no doubt the most eminent man among them—no doubt a man of transcendent genius, and most powerful in all the arts of party warfare—who in the House of Commons is listened t o with breathless attention, but who seldom or never speaks except on a party question—a man at whose philippics the Whigs tremble, and who is matchless in sarcasm though not always convincing in argument. Whilst his politics may be extravagant and unsuited for the age and the country, they have yet this one thing to be said in their defence, that they are not more unsound than his financial obliquity. I thought that when Mr. Disraeli brought forward his famous budget he would have done something better than he has done ; but he disappointed everyone—he disappointed his own party, and no one has better cause to rejoice at that result than the company before us, and the vast mass of the people of England who rejoiced over the fall of Lord Derby and all his chivalry. After entering into a com- AanndewMr. parison theof the budgets memhe o r f M to Glad ssone,me proceeded rbisra : e — li say one word upon the present position of the go vernment of this country. I tell you frankly , fairly , and at once, like my honourable colleague, that I have confidence in her Majesty's Ministers. And I have con fidence in her Majesty's Ministers for this reason—be cause I believe that they are pledged to give a large, a liberal, and a full measure of reform to the people. (Applause.) I believe that that measure of reform is called for, is needed—that the intellect and rising power of the people demand it. I have confidence in her Ma jesty's Ministers because I believe that they will do all that men can do to preserve an honourable peace. In the difficult circumstances in which our foreign relations are now placed, I believe that they will not bring us into disgrace, and into a war which will be endless, if they can possibly avoid it. I do not yield to any man in my desire to preserve the honour of the country ; but I do say this, that if we must fight, let us have something to fight for. It is too late now to go back to that wilful and useless and most miserable expendi ture of life and money which we have incurred for no imaginable purpose in former times. Let us no longer attempt to galvanise and foster the corrupt mass of expiring systems and dynasties. Let it be a worthier object, when we bring the gold and the toil of our own laborious and peace-loving fellow-citizens into a contest. I trust that those days are past ; and I believe that all that can be done to ensure peace will be done by being prepared for war. I have confidence, too, in her Ma jesty's Ministers, because I believ e th a t th ere never was a ministry yet which has done in any session so much for the people as they have. My colleague pointed out many blessings which we have derived from the Govern ment of the present day. Ido think that the most im portant, the most valuable of those blessings is this— that they have done what can be done to treat all classes alike, and to soothe those irritations and discords which have been the bane of the country so long. lam sure I believe that we shall never go back as we have done, to be governed by class legislation. I do believe that a good time is coming for England—we have a strong and an honest Ministry,—a Ministry which is heartily disposed to promote the good of the people which they rule, and I believe we shall yet see England increasing in the happiness of all classes, in wealth, and in prospe rity ; we shall see her more blessed at home and more honoured abroad, and leading the march of the millions in the bright course of enlightened legislation, and the physical, the moral and the social p rogress o f humanity. (Applause.) Mr. PETO proposed the health of the chairman, ob serving that his grandfather in that very hall presided over the great Fox dinner, at which the Duke of Essex and the Duke of Norfolk were present, and which pro duced no little effect on the passing fortunes of the day ; and that, at the early av:e of eighteen, he was selected by my Lord John Russell as his private secretary. No man need desire a greater compliment paid to him, and no man could have a better introduction into public life. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. He said I thank you for the position in which you have placed me, be cause it enables me freely to express the opinions which I hold on subjects so ably advocated by the gentlemen on my right hand and on my left. I need hardly assure you that I hold the same liberal opinions as yourselves. (Applause.) lam aware that my one and twenty years of life do not entitle me to express, with the same con fidence, to the support of which several of you have devoted very many years—l refer to liberal politics ; but I am proud to remember that I came of a long line in which liberal politics are hereditary. (Cheers.) I am a Whig of the sixth generation. (Laughter.) But, gentlemen, the Liberal of today is far different from the Whig of the Revolution, and I hope that I shall be found to have kept pace with the age in which we live. (Cheers.) Next year we are to have a new Reform Bill. It is a necessary supplement to that of 1832. For my part, I hope it will embrace a liberal extension of the suffrage, and then it will become a question how that suffrage is to be collected, Could I for a moment imagine that intimidation could be utterly prevented, and the present system of open voting maintained, I can assure you that that would he the course I should wish to advocate ; but the wore I hear and the more I read on the subject, the more convinced I am that such a course would be impossible, and that our only refuge from intimidation and corruption is in the ballot-box. I need hardly advert to my views on freedom of com merce. Its very name, in a free nation like this stamps it as excellent. In fact, if we look upon it from a com mon-sense point of view, it is merely extending to the brotherhood of nations that freedom of exchange which we at present enjoy between county and county, be tween city and city, and between mar and man. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " Agriculture and Commerce, and the union of the City and County." Their interests are identical and let no man seek to bolster up either the one or the other by protection. The agriculturists feed the manufacturers and the manu facturers clothe the agriculturists, and their interests therefore are the same. (Applause.) Mr. A. HAMOND replied, I remember the time—and I was a Protectionist myself—when that was a bold man who said he was a Free trader. (Laughter.) I believe, however, that be is either a bold or a very foolish man, who now says he is a Protectionist. (Cheers.) I re member in this very room being holloa'd at something like three-quarters of an hour, when I advocated Pro tection ; for I did so, and did it honestly. I was afraid of violent changes, and, moreover, I was not then ac quainted with the subject. Now, however, I have no fear of the kind, and am a hearty Freetrader. Mr. WARNER gave " The Health of the Mayor and deputy Mayor, and the Corporation of Norwich," which was responded to by the Mayor, Richard Coaks, Esq. The health of Mr. McCullagh, the late unsuccessful candidate for Yarmouth, was next drunk and acknow ledged by that gentleman. The last toast drunk was " The health of Mrs. Peto, Mrs. Warner, and the Ladies," which was enthusiasti cally received. The proceedings then terminated. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—An awful instance of sudden death has just occurred on board the steamer Anglia, plying between Kingston and Holyhead. The vessel had left the former port about 10 minutes when a young man, about 27 years of age, supposed to be the son of Mr. Davies, coroner for the city of Dublin, was seen walking the deck smoking a cigar. In the course ' of a conversation with another passenger, he complained of having felt indisposed the previous. night, but re marked that he never felt better in his life than at that moment. Having asked the address of a house in Lon don, he commenced writing it down, but had only finished the first figure of the number given when the pen fell from his hand ; he dropped down on the deck, and instantly expired. A lady from York, seeing him fall, rushed to the spot, and supported his head ; and, on a cry being raised, a medical gentleman, Dr. Wynn Williams, of Carnarvon, who was on board, rendered prompt aid, but all was of no avail ; the cause, it is sup- • posed, being disease of the heart. The unfortunate young man was on his way to Paris. He had a large sum of money about his person and a valuable gold watch. The body was wrapped in a flag until the ar rival of the vessel in Holyhead, where it now awaits a coroner's inquest. The dreadful event created much excitment among the passengers. MR. HUME.—The hon. member for Montrose is at present in Dublin. On Thursday he visited the Dublin Union Workhouse, where he was treated with the greatest respect by the guardians.

ARREST OF BANDITTI.—An important arrest of six daring robbers, among whom was the noted Bartoioni mep Piano, was effected on the 21st near Carignano. This capture was owing to information having been re ceived by the police that a gang was to meet at a place called La Loggia, close to the former, and a party of twelve carabineers was sent on the service, with com plete success, though not without considerable resistance. Besides these six, ten more banditti have been arrested in the course of the last few days in the environs of Turin. Business this day. SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, AUG. 2 6.—Since the date of our last report, this market has been quiet and void of spirit, both in regard to yarns and goods ; although no general reduction in prices can be quoted. Still, where any change has been made, it is for the most part in favour of the buyer. The decline most perceptible is in yarn of coarse and medium counts suitable for the home trade. In domestics there is no change to report, and a mode rate business is doing. BRADFORD, AUG. 25. Wool—There is a great diffi culty in getting wool from growers and country dealers, who are evidently seeking prices beyond what can be rea lised here, and consequently the supply coming to market is not abundant. There is no disposition on the part of the spinners to buy, and altogether the trade is flat. Noils and brokes are without change since our last. Yarns—There is much complaining of the high price sought for wool, compared with what can be realised for yarns, and at no peri o d h as t hi s b ranch o f t h e t ra d e b een more disjointed than at present. Pieces—There is a fair but not average business doing for August. NOTTINGHAM, Aug. 25 .—Notwithstanding the preva lence of fashion both at home and in America for goods of Scotch manufacture, there is still a good business doing in lace goods, but principally in those made of silk, while those fabricated of cotton are not in so much request ; but so long as the fashion is so decidedly in favour of muslin goods, we cannot expect so much of a demand as to lead us to expect very remunerating prices. Cotton is too high in price for those engaged in this part of the trade to be able to obtain such a profit as their expensive machinery would warrant. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Aug. 26.—We have no change to report in the state of the woollen cloth market. There is a steady good trade regularly doing. The markets on Saturday as well as on Tuesday were of a fair average character, and about an usual amount of business was done. There have also been several heavy deliveries of cloth during the week direct to the merchants' warehouses. Stocks continue within a very moderate compass ; and although the markets have had a good supply of fresh goods this week, yet there is not any apparent augmentation. The trade in the warehouses continues in a good and satis factory state ; about an average business for the season has been done this week, principally for the home mar ket. HUDDERSFIELD.-Our market continues without al teration, the supply being barely equal to the demand. Prices much the same. _ _ _ ROCHDALE.—We have had but a poor market to-day, being the wakes, which generally interferes with busi ness. English wool is very firm, and rather more in quired after. BRADFORD.—There was on the whole scarcely an ave rage amount of business doing. The trade is spoilt by being so very good, because its extraordinary extension during the last four years has outstripped the supply of all kinds of raw material—wool, especially English wool, cotton, and oil ; and the consequence is, that parties find considerable difficulty in realising a profit. Manu facturers who buy their yarn are considered to be in the best position. Colonial wools, which are, in p ro p or ti on to their quality, the cheapest in the market, are more sought after. HALIFAX.—We have no change in the piece market ; there is better demand for yarns, and prices exceedingly firm. In long wools there is a pretty fair business doing, and prices are fully supported. Higher rates are being paid to the growers, and it is rather expected we shall be a little dearer here than otherwise ; at present the current prices in the market are far from commen surate with those in the country. TRADE OF LEIOESTER.—The demand for the home market, has been dull this week. Continental orders continue to arrive, particularly for shirts, drawers, and fancy hosiery. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, Aug. 26.

ROYAL CHARITY.—Her Majesty, or, hearing of the distressing accident at the back of the Wight, sent 301. to the widow Wearn, for the relief of herself and chil dren. The Southampton and Isle of Wight Steam-boat Company have, we hear, acted very liberally to the family. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN GOODMAN'S- FIELDS: Yesterday Mr. Baker, the coroner for East Middlesex, held an inquest upon the unfortunate Caroline Mobbs at the London Hospital, whither she had been removed after the savage attack had been made upon her by her husband which resulted in her death, and where also lies, almost in articulo mortis, and under the close cus tody of the city police, the ruthless pezpetrator of the deed. Some circumstances have 'recently come to light in connection with the event which invest it with a melan choly interest. The deceased, it appears, bad only been united to the man about 12 months, he being at that time a widower with four young children. She seems to have enjoyed but a very brief period of domestic hap piness, for, though the man was kind and affectionate in his sober moments, those intervals were of rare occur rence, and scarcely a month had elapsed after their wed ding before his savage ill-treatment commenced. Alleged ill-treatment of his children and intimacy with a policeman were the pretexts for his savage conduct, but so far as the evidence has gone, both charges were groundless. She was a quiet, well-behaved, and strictly sober woman. Nevertheless, the treatment winch she experienced at the hands of her husband almost exceeds belief. She had frequently threatened to seek the pro tection of the law, but had never mustered up resolution sufficient to make the case known to the magistrates. An indefinable terror, and perhaps also some remnant of affection, always intervened at the last moment to prevent her appealing to the• tribunal of justice. On the very day on which the murder took place it was her intention to apply to the Lord Mayor for a separate maintenance. Mobbs, the murderer, was not quite so well yesterday as on the previous night, having been attacked in the interval with bronchitis ; still he is progressing as well as can be expected. Th knife had completely severed the larynx, and his bodily health was not generally good in consequence of his intemperate habits. Bvidence as to the general ill-treatment of the deceased by her husband, and as to the circumstances attending the commission of the dreadful deed, which have already been made public, having been adduced, The Coroner said, perhaps it would be well to adjourn the inquiry for the present, more particularly as the state of the man appeared to be extremely doubtful. Of course, if the man should die, the inquiry would assume a very different form to that which it woltld take if he survived, because in the event of his death the power of the law, so far as he was concerned, woula be at an end. The jury concurred in this _view, and, for the reasons stated by the coroner, acquiesced in the adjournment for a few days. The proceedings were accordingly adjourned. THE COINAGE.—It is shown by a return t) Parliament, yesterday published, that, in three months, from the Ist of April to the 30th of June last, the gold coinage made at the Mint amounted to 4,763,826/. 3s. 11, consisting of 4,471,242 sovereigns and 585,167 half-sovereigns. The silver coinage in the quarter was 155,100/. i s. Bd . consisting of 1,141,563 florins, 717,763 shili ngs, 194 ,304 sixpences, and 15,840 threepences. Of ccpper coinage the return is nil. 4/laa, aa• THE NEW ACT ON BETT ING-HOD SES. — Yesterday, the act for the suppression of betting - houses w as i ssue d from the Queen's printers. It contains 20 sections, and will commence and come into operation m the Ist of December next. The contents of this new law are some what familiar to the public.

In addition to the Athenaeum the building will afford accommodation for a savings bank, mechanics' institution, and national school. At the conclusion of the ceremony a cold collation will be provided in the national school. Lord and Lady Pal merston, Lord Harrington, the Right Hon. E. Strutt, M.P., Mr. M. T. Bass, M. P., Sir J. Harpur Crewe, Bart. (High Sheriff of Derbyshire), and Mr. 3. Mess (Mayor of Derby), have consented to take part in the proceedings. It will be a gala day, and Melbourne gardens, by permission of the noble lord, will be thrown opal) ; boats will ply on the lake, and several bands of music and parties of glee singers will be present. His lordship was invited by the Mayor and corporation to a public banquet, and his reply has caused much regret in the town of Derby and the neighbourhood. In reply to the letter of the Lord Mayor, he says--" My visit to this place is entirely for local purposes, and will be limited to a very few days, and under these circum stances I am obliged, though with great regret, to say that I am unable to avail myself of the proposal made to me in your obliging letter." TERRIFIC THUNDERSTORM.—BRISTOL, August 26. — This morning, at half-past 4 o'clock, a terrific storm of thunder, lightning, and hail passed over this city and neighbourhood, causing a great destruction of property; and, although it was brief in its duration, such was the violence of the gale, or rather tornado, that grave appre hensions as to serious casualties being occasioned by it are excited. At Moorfields, near this city, two trees were blown down. One of them struck a man who was passing, and felled him to the ground ; he sustained a compound fracture of both legs. Between Boulton and Cambridge-batch, and on the road from Pensford to Bristol, the utmost damage has been inflicted on the growing crops, and trees have been blown down in every direction. From accounts which have reached this city to-day, it appears that the main force of the storm was expended at the adjacent villages of Westbury and Abbot's Leigh. At the latter place no fewer than 50 trees were blown down. The gale appeared to take a direction up Channel from Portishead, passing over Shirehampton to Westbury. The peals of thunder here were most terrific. Near Combe-house, the seat of Mr. Fripp, seven large elm trees were blown down, falling across the roadway, and thus obstruct ing the ordinary traffic. One oak tree in an ad joining field was also shivered to pieces. One of the elm trees mentioned fell right across the en trance to Mr. Fripp's house, so that all exit from it was barred till workmen bad cleared it away. A field of wheat, belonging to Mr. Granger, was completely spoilt, a large mulberry tree in Mr. Fripp's ground was split in two pieces, and an arbutus tree was torn up by its roots. Besides this considerable damage was done to the various gardens in the neighbourhood. In the same vicinity, too, as a proof of the tremendous force of the gale, it may be mentioned that a substantial stone wall was levelled with the ground. The gale, as we before stated, was short in its duration, but throughout the day we have been visited with some smart thunder storms. TERRIFIC THIINDERSTOR3I.—EXETER, Friday.—This morning, between 2 and 4 o'clock, a terrific thunder storm, accompanied by heavy rain, passed over Exeter and the neighbourhood for some miles round, doing con siderable damage. The rain was so heavy at Exeter that it penetrated many houses, and obliged the inhabi tants to get out of their beds. We have heard that serious damage was done to property in several towns in the neighbourhood, and that three lives were lost off Budleigh Salterton, by the violence of the storm. A number of corn and hay-ricks were washed away, trees were blown down, and a good deal of damage was done to conservatories. Mu c h injury; it is understood, bas been done to property in several towns on the south coast, especially at Dawlish, Teignmouth, and places in that direction. The storm lasted for an hour and a half. 1.03 —losxd 51i —s3ixd 150 152 32 33xd 113 - 114 56 - 57 274 - 28' 141, 26 - 271 98 - 100 3 - 108 - 1x0(91 65 - 67 148 —lsoxd 148 —lsoxd d ... - xd 31i - 32. 102 - 103 s ft; • - BETTING AT MANCETESTER--YEsTkipAY., , There was a fair attendance at the ro oms this mivning,l . - •- - though business was anything but brisk.

John Egan, a strong, active, but dirty and dissolute shoemaker, living in Dyke-street, was charged by the sanitary inspectors, Gifford and Wil son, with brutally beating his w if e and three children. They had received information the night before that after turning out his wife, he had beaten his children and left two of them locked up without food, saying he would starve them. The officers were induced by the I representations of the neighbours to break open the door of the house and take the two eldest children, whom they found there, to the workhouse for shelter. The eldest child, a boy 12 years old, w court, and presented a as placed before the pitable sp ectacle. He was lite rally covered with bruises, which his father, he said, h a d inflicted by kicking him. A black mark encircled the i l • e ig a h vi t n e g y i e t , d a o n u d b a tfu kiek h l if sight tc e e n u t m irely hep co r l e s e ed erve t d h . e T le h f e t eye, wife Theand all the e e h h i i l l d d r , en a a g p i p rl e , ar h e a d d e b m e a e ci e at p e i d ace a d nd in ne a gl b e a c s t k ed et . instead of a chair, until its spine had grown shockingly deformed. The wife said she had for a long time lived a life of hide-and-seek with the brute she called husband, being continually obliged to seek for shelter from Ifs violence in the houses of neighbours, and hide in entries and round corners. One of the husband's modes of tor turing her was to twist some short instrument in her hair and drag her about the hon e. The prisoner ad mitted that, when at work, he could earn from 20s. to 235. per week, but that he did not work because his wife neglected her part, which was to bind the shoes. The wife described him as seldom working more than two hours at a time, spending most of the day in drink ing, and said , the children had long been nearly starved, but she had not dared to tell the police from a fear that she would be worse beaten than before. Mr. Maude, the chairman of the bench, said this was fairly a case which came within the new act of Parliament, and one which called for the full penalty of the law. He should sentence him to six months' hard labour, and his wife and family must be taken into the workhouse mean time.
