ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. - OXFORD CITY. On Thursday evening the Town-hall at Oxford was filled to overflowing by the friends and sup porters of Mr. .Neate, who had assembled in con sequence of announcements to the effect that Mr. Neate and Mr. Thackeray would address the elec tors. Mr. Sheriff Spiers was voted to the chair. Mr. NEATE, on rising, was greeted with several rounds of applause. He said—l have no fault to fitid with the gentlemen who unseated me. I as sure you there is no good in inspiring you with dis trust against those appointed to be our rulers. I believe those five gentlemen did their duty with a patient spirit and a real desire for justice, and no thing else. (Cheers) As to whether the decision wa s right or wrong it is not for me nor you to say. It is for you to struggle to do your best to repair the consequences of that decision. (Cheers.) With regard to my experience—and a short experience it has been—in the House of Commons, lam happy to be able to report to you, from whom the House of Commons derives its existence, that I bring back a vety favourable impression of the spirit and intentions of the gentlemen who constitute that assembly. (Cheers.) As for myself, I have expe rienced. from them in. the few instances in which I have attempted to address them—which have been few because I felt that there was a cloud hanging over me—a cloud which has descended and swept me from the face of the pu . ilic—from the short ex perience which I have had I are happy to be able to tell you, makers of the House of Commons,: that it is a kind and generous assemb l y ; at the same time as individual gentlemen I have nothing to say against them. This they do want—an infu sion among them of a more popular spirit. (Hear.) The experience which I have had is this—that the Ministers are wrapped up too much in their own feelings—the fe eliugs of an exclusive Whig aristo cracy. They have a disposition to turn what is called the cold shoulder to that part of the house to which I belonged. (Cheers.) The experience I have. had in the House of Commons has led me to this conclusion, that the Party who most require the countenance and support of the people is the independent popular party. (Cheers.) I don't wish to say anything disparagingly of the noble lord, for I have reason to believe, on the hest authority from those acquainted with Lord Monck, that he is a most honourable man—a man whom anybody might like to have for his colleague. lam very well pleased with his individual character, but I speak not of his individual but with respect to his private claim. We know. he was for-a sLort time a Lord of the Admiralty, which is some , hing, ; afterwards he subsided into a Lord of Vie Treasury, which is nothing. (Laughter.) Ih we myself had something to do with the Treasury, and I assure you, on my own authority, that the lowest form of political life is. being a Lord of the Treasury. (Laughter.) I don't wish you to reduce this great contest into a question of local rivalry, or conduct it with feelings of personal animosity. Though I do not wish to see Mr. Cardwell again become your representative — (cries of "He won't come ; we won't have him,") —at the same time I would recommend and impress , on you, for your own credit, and for the credit of Your ancient city, to eleot arid appoint a representa tive Worthy of taking his position. I believe,. I am sure, we have found such - a man in my d'stinguish ed. andA might almost call him my illustrious friend, Mr. Thackeray. - (Cheers.) Mr: TEACKERA.Y, who was well received, then rose and saisl,To bespeak your praise, being so little known to any of you at this mament, would be. idle ; even to say that I posses the power el eloquence—which I wish to Heaven 'that I ha'l— would be vain,, fee I shad break down very likely in a sentence or two, and u will have to moralise on the strange fact that a gentleman who can spin off sentence after sentence in his study is hard put to it to find words wirri he is on his legs. (Cheers.) - Igo with all thy heart and soul for the adoption of the ballot, and I desire . with the utmost of my power the exterssion of the suffrage. (Cheers.) Ido not say for one memen t I mean universal suffra:e, because these of you who 'lave read the papers have seen: how universal suffrage obtains in the neigh bouring country. of France--the Emperor riding cockhorse over the country, the press thee& led truly and entirely, aid one tyrant rulii g over the pectple. With respect to triennial Parliaments, if the people are for it I am ready to follow the popular behe-t. I do not see for my own part how any great good can arise from them. It does not seem to rue that if a perpe'ually recurring system of election was practised it would be conducive of much good. Some time ago I had to KIT a few words about po litical tuattets..at a dinner in Edinburgh to which I was invited, and I got a deal of illwill in certain very genteel quarters in London when I returned, because I sal at that dinner that those gentlemen with handles'bo their names, that the members of great aria' ocratic s had a very great share of public patronage and government, and tha-, for my part I heartily desired that min of the people—tire • working men and cducat d of the people— should have a-share in the Government. I instanced the case of the American Minister who was then wanting—the Government appointed a lord ; a Mini ster of China was then wanting, and the selection lay between a 'duke and . an °A Great outcries" were made a ffainstime when I went back, and peo ple said,- " Why do you sneer against Duke A., Lerd 8., and Earl C. ? Why do you sneer against men whom you know to be perfectly honourable and able 1" I did not sneer in the least against Lord Elgin, who was appointed Ambassador to China, or Lord Napier, the recently appointed American Minister, tedause at that time few men more hon ourable, eloquent, able, or experienced could be found. What - I complained of was that we were obliged to go to the aristocracy when we were in Le dof officers. (Cheers.) There is never any chance fora man of the people t o step forward ; there seems asort of absolute oecessity than when Lor dral me rston goes out of office Lord John must come in,and when Lord Johnjumps outtheb•at Lord Palmerston must come in and pull stroke oar again. (Laughter and cheers.)' Are there nut prudent, intelligent nien whose services the country might profit by, but.who have no chance to gratify the le?itimas e ob ject of their ambition, so that an eternal change of the great aristocratic families seems intended to go On for ever ! Will it be your will and plea-ore that this-state of things should continue ? (Loud cri , s of "No, no. if not, introduce into the House ('f Commons then of poptilar in tellikence—the'best men that ye u can bring in' o it. The popular in fluence must be brought to bear on the present Government of the country ; if they flinch remind them that the people is outside and wants more and more. - (Much cheet jag.) Mr. JAMES MACINToSH having brie3y addressed the electors, .a show of hands was taken. Only one hand was held up against Mr. Thackeray. A vote.of thanks was then passed to the Sheriff, - and the proceedings terminated. Lord-Mouck has commenced cauvassinz. Ilia lordship was accompanied ty Mr. Cardwell's agent. Tl e . friends of the latter gentleman will m eet it , tile Stir Ilotel,this day, wheu an answer will be given to the requisition inviting the right hon. gentleman again to offer himself. Lord Monck and Mr. *Thackeray have both issued addresses to 'the electors. STATE OF TRADE. -G> MANCHESTER, JULY 10. The position of the manufacturer continues to be one-of great anxety and difficulty. High as cotton .was before, an ac lark) demand at Liverpool during the week has increased the price of useful . qullitirs of American fully id. per pound since Friday last, and gives a somewhat firmer tone to other kinds. Manufacturers have no power to follow the ex%tn ple.

Thy Flying Fish, 6, screw gun dispatch vessel, went out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday morn ing, for another trial at the measured mile, but with tie Admiralty screw, and realised 111, knots an hour • showing a clear ga i n of h alf a knot over the Bretagne' screw. Griffith's screw is nearly half a knot superior to the Admirnity screw, and with out that tearful vibratory motion. The Admiralty have been desirous to arrive at the best results. The illysFes, chartered sailing trawort, with the first division of the 88th (Connaught Rangers), left Spithead yesterday morning for India. The Dockyat d lumps were engaged yesterday, at Portsmouth, shifting the moorings of the old con vict hulks in Block-house Hole, and have sent one of the hulks up the harbour. The Defence and Britannia wilt also be removed, so that the Illus trious training ship, Captain Harris, may have her full swing.

A c turt-martial assembled on Thursday morning on board the Impreguable, flag-ship at Devonport, Rear-Admiral Superintendent Sir James H. Plum ridge, KC.B., plesident, to try Alex. Farmer, pt mats Marine of the Royal William, 120, ordinary guard ship, for insubordination and using insulting I,ngliage to Captain Williams, of that - ship ; the charge being fully proved, he was sentenced to re ceive four dozen lashes, and to be imprisoned in Exeter Gaol for 12 mouths, wilt hard labour, and then. to be discharged the service with disgrace. In pursuance of the sentence of a garrison court martial held at Woolwich, a gunner of the Royal Artillery named Davis has been condemned to un dergo the ponisbment of 42 days' imprisonment and to receive 50 • lashes for having wilfully destroyed his uniform when ordered to be confined in the cells. The judgment is to be carried into effect at Fort Clarence, Chatham, whither the pri soner was conveyed on Thursday last. for 25 years, or 4i per cent. for 50 years, on the above amount. "The responsibility incurred by Government in eranting this assistance would only accrue in the event of two contingencies—the railway not pay ing a moderate dividend, and the Turkish Govern ment failing to fulfil its part of the contract. "Major-General Chesney and Sir J ohn foe engineer-in-chief to the Euphrates Valley Rail way Compnny, in their reports, published after their return from Syria, estimate that the existing traffic of that portion of the route of the proposed railway is sufficient to yield a dividend of 7 or 8 per cent. on the capital required. "Whatever the news may be from India by next mail more European troops must be stationed in that country, and the rapid extension of railroads must follow to make them available, and the con struction of the Euphrates Railway must become more and more necessary.

THE EMPEROR AND THE ELECTIONS. (From the Times.) According to the opinion of those &stute persons who have a gift for seeing further in`o a millstone that their neighbours, the check which the Empe ror has apparently suffered at Paris was a check of his own seeking. As in chess-playing, a pawn has been sacrificed to secure a better opening and a clearer board. Now, in the game of politics we believe to a certain extent in the p)wer of finesse, but in this instance the present loss, however the Moniteur may endeavour to disguise it, is so capital —the future and hypothetical gain 30 remote, that we cannot without great difficulty admit this expla nation as the true one. The idea is that the Bour- geoisietof Paris had waxed insolent with prosperity, and that they had already forgotten the severe schooling of Februaty and June, 1848. It had be come necessary to remind them that the volcano was still bubbling and seething beneath their feet, and might once more at any moment overflow and scatter ruin all around. Louis Napoleon—so it is asserted —tried and hardened as he has been in the rough school of early privation—of exile—of captivity—is not a man to throw away a crown without a strug gle, nor to drift down upon the cold shores of ca lamity without exhausting every effort to hold what he has gained. Royalty in his person will not flicker out over a game of whist at St. Cloud, nor slink away from the Tuileries in the presence of a shouting mob. What he has won that will he re tain. Proud of the position he bas earned, of the dynasty he represents, of the energy he has dis played, be will not trifle with France, nor shall France trifle with one who bears his name. Before having recourse, however, to extreme measures, he deemed it right to give a solemn warning to those who are coquetting with their own destruction as well as with his ruin. The citizens of Paris must be reminded that the spirit of anarchy has been scotched, riot killed, and. that the sunshine of popular fa v, ur can in brief space recall it upon the scene in all the awful fulness of its portentous shape. There fore it was that Lo uis Napoleon allowed the electoral urns of Paris for once to overflow with the waters of bitterness. The Parisians may be averse to his person, they may dislike h;s rule, but what will the alternative be when Medea's caldron is placed once more upon the smouldering ashes, and the old forms of society are cast in, with the expecta tion—so often disappointed—that out of the per turbation and hubbub France will come forth again vigorous and refreshed in all the graceful majesty of second youth ? Therefore, his friends say, it is that the stern showman has for a brief space invited attention to the drama which has been played out in Paris and in France during the last ten years. But ten years back—in the last days of Louis Philippe—the dis play of magnificence, of wealth, of luxury which might have been seen in Paris could not have been equalled in any other city in the world. The long avenues of shops were resplendent with all the ele gant and costly devices upon which the Parisian artisan could expend his ingenuity. The brilliancy of the equipages and the general luxury of dress, of houses, of furnitu-e, was beyond all precedent. Visitors from all corners of Europe flocked to Paris, and, nomatter from what source their revenues were derived, at Paris they were spent. If in the Paris of 1.847 there was to be found the extreme of po verty as well as the extreme of wealth, the one was but the natural consequence of the other. A. pistol-shot fired one evening in February, 1848, on the Boulevards, from opposite the Rue des Ca pucines, dispelled that dream. All that wealth, all that magnificence, all that luxury faded away, and in a brief space, in the place of these were seen on every sid-, terror, I) xnkruptcy, and ruin. The pals dion of civil life was stopped ; the heart of France, for the time, had ceased to beat ; but soon came the hot summer-tide of June, when from their garrets and cellars in damp and distant quar ters of tho city came forth combatants of whose existence society in its ordinary condition is not aware, to do battle against the first elements of tradition. The houses on the Boulevards and in the principal quarters were riddled with bullets— at various points the cannon had involved the city in more complete destruction—the chief spots where the deadliest grapples had taken place were red with blood and reeking like shambles. Through out the short nights of that burning season the troops bivouacked on the Boulevards and in the public places—their camp-fires alight, their guns with light d matches in the midst of them. Paris had been conquered from enemies, but the enemies were Parisians, and the conqueror was General Cavaignac, the candidate who has just defeated M. Thibaut, and thus won a more peaceful victory, but th s time not from the people, but from the Coln t. Louis Napoleon, we are told, has thought it right that the Parisians should be reminded of these things as well as of that unquiet time which intervened het ween the barricades of June and his own seizure of supreme power. Few Parisians wi:o lived through that period, and whose fortunes were involved in the maintenance of order, will forget the daily fears and nightly alarms which agi tated Paris while the contest was pending between the candidates for the Presidency, and then between the President and the Chamber. So violent was the exasperation of extreme terror that the Presi dent could venture in the dead hour of the night to seize the principal statesmen and generals of France, and spirit them away like children who had mis behaved themselves, and to confine them in various places of reclusion unt 1 time had brought reflec tion, and reflection repentance. Again French troops fired upon the French people with an animosity as fierce as any they could have disp'ayed in the presence of their country's deadliest foes. So things went on for awhile, until at last it was found that, however unjustifiable were the means by by which the strong man had possessed himself of power, he knew how to use it when gained. It is now said—although we believe it not—that Louis Napoleon has courted, or at least connived at his own recent defeat, in order to remind the Pari sians of what they must look for if they cast a shadow of doubt upon the stability of his power. The friends of rash experiment and disorder count for so many in Paris ;—shall that experiment be tried ?—shall that disorder be courted ? The parti sans for change show no contemptible minority of the middling classes of Paris,—shall the Bourgeoisie ever the first to provoke the contest, ever the first to fly from the contest they have provoked, be suf fered to plunge France once more into anarchy that their discontent may find expression ? Such is the thought attributed totbeFrenehEmpez or ; but in that interpretation of the recent electoral votes at Paris we do not agree. We believe th it the Emperor is now engaged in a contest precisely similar to the one which his uncle waged through out his tenure of power with the Republican and Dynastic sections of the French Bourgeoisie.. As long as he can retain his hold upon the feelings of the general population and can secure the obedi ence of the army, a check like the present is but a momentary vexation, which will be soon forgotten by the nation, or cancelled by himself. Let Louis Napoleon, however, meet with any serious reverse, either in his domestic policy or his military enter prises, and he will feel the want of a more healthy support than his Legislature affords him. One of the most pitiable chapters in the history of the Great Emperor is the one which recites his dealings after Waterloo with that Assembly which, in the fulness of his power, had never approached his throne but with bated breath and base adulation. DESTRUCTION OF RAILWAY GATES BY A LUGGAGE TRAIN.—On Tuesday night a luggage train, on the War rington and Stockport Railway, coming from Manche- ter, smashed the road gate on the lice crossing tho Knutsford-road, in 'Mt:llford. The gates had been left so as to leave tha road alien, and the person whose duty it was to take care of the gates, we understand, bad gone to sleep without giving the signal that the gates on the line were shut. No accident beyond breaking the gates occurred.

Mr. Baron Martin arrived in this town yesterday, and having opened the commission for the county of Berks at' ended divine service. . . Mr. Baron Bramwell arrived this morni9g. The business of the assizes commenced this day at 10 o'clock, Mr. Baron Martin presiding in the civil court, and Mr. Baron Bramwell in the crimi nal court. The cause list contains an entry of four causes. The calendar is extremely light and contains a list of Only 12 prisoners. One is charged with mur der, but, being insane, he has been removed by a Secretary of State's order to the Littlemore Lunatic Asylum. The other offences charged are of the ordinary description. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Common Juries.) SWEENEY (ADMINISTRATOR) V. FAIRCLOUGH. • Mr. Sergeant Thomas and Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Phipson and Mr. Scotland for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action, Cornelius Sweeney, as administrator of his deceased son, Timothy Sweeney, sued the defendant, Thomas Fairclough, a carman, carrying on his business in the east end of London, to recover damages for the death of the plaintiff's son, who was killed by the alleged negli gence of the defendant's servant. It appeared from the plaintiff's evidence that, on the 20th of June last, one of the defendant's men had beerl to the West India Dock to fetch several hog=heads of sugar. On his way to the defendant's premises he had to pass along a narrow street, named Queen street, by the Regent's Canal. The sugar was in a four-wheeled truck drawn by two horses, and the driver was sitting in the front of the truck, driving the horses with reins. Having crossed the Queen street Bridge the truck was driven close to the kerb, and knocked d o wn the little boy,rb, on th whow the s off sta s n ide dfog against a post on the kerb. The poor boy was picked up and taken to the Lon don Hospital, but he died in a few hours. It ap peared that the boy was 15 years of age, and was in the habit occasionally of assisting the plaintiff, his father, in his business, as a journeyman tailor. Mr. Phipson, for the defendant, said, he should prove that the accident wde occasioned entirely by the boy's own negligence in attempting to take sugar from the truck while it was in motion. - The learned counsel called several witnesses, who stated that the defendant's man took the truck from the West India Docks, along the Commercial-road, till he got to the Limehouse toll-gate, and then drove down the Florieferry-road and entered Queen street. When the truck got to' the corner and turned into Queen-street, the boy went up to the truck, between the wheels, to get sugar out of it, and in that way followed the truck for several yards, till l.e got to the post. The driver found it necessary to keep close to the kerb, to let another waggon pass, and at this juncture the boy was caught against the post and thrown under the wheels. The defendant's witnesses proved that the truck was going towards the Queen-street Bridge, and not coming from it, as the plaintiff's witnesses had stated. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, left it to the jury to - say whether the accident was caused entirely by the negligen ce o f th e d e f e ndant's servants. The defendant's wit nesses had directly contradicted those called by the plaintiff, and it would be for the jury to say which side they believed. The jury, without hesitation, found for the de fendant. Mr. Baron Martin said, be had a doubt whether the plaintiff's *messes could say anything of the accident. CR[MINAL COURT. (Before M r . Baron Bramwell.) The grand jury came into court in the course of the day, and fou n d a t rue bill against John Black well, for the murder of Thomas Rance, at Wokingharn, on the 14th of May, 1857. The governor of the gaol stated to the Court that the prisoner was insane, and that he bad been re- ID ()red under an order of the Secretary of State, to the lunatic asylum. at Littlemore. Under these cit cums tan ces, Mr. Baron Bramwell directed that the recogni zances of the witnesses should be respited sine die. William Appleton, 37, George. Holmes, 46, and Richard Case, 42, were charged with the man• slaughter of Joseph Laurance, at Reading, on the 25th of June,..1857. _ _ _ Mr. J. 0. Orrititha appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. J. J. Williams defended the prisoners. It appeared that the prisoners were employed in mowing a part of a large meadow near Reading, and the deceaset and some other men were em ployed in mowing in the same meadow. The parts of the meadow belonged to different owners, and, some dispute hating ari , en as to the boundary of the properties, a quarrel e nsued between the two sets of mowers. The prisoner Appleton wished to fight the deceased, but he refused, and while the deceased was leaving with his scythe the prisoner Holmes incited Appleton to fight, and, thereupon Appleton ran upon the deceased and struck him two blows right and left towards the back part of the head. The deceased fell and was taken up dead. As soon as Appleton found what he had done he knelt down by the side of the" deceased, and appeared much distressed at the event. There was no evidence against Case, except that he was very abusive to the master of the deceased, who in terfered to prevent a quarrel. M r . Williams, for the prisoners, said, he could not resist a verdict so far as Appleton was concerned, but he contended that the other two prisoners ought to be acquitte d . Bramwell directed the jury to acq u it CaMse,r. Baron but,iftbey believed the evidence, to find the other prisoners guilty.

NORTHERN learned_ CIRCUIT.—Yon, JULY 9.TCIRCUIT.—YORK,dges of this circuit arrived here ie Til yesterday a fternoon, and after bearing servi ce a t the Minster, immediately opened the commission at Vie Castle. This morning their lordships breakfasted, accord ing to ancient c ustom, with the Lord Mayor. After breakfast Mr. Baron Watson went to the Guildhall t m o a t li r t y i e c t h y a vin pr is g o nbee:esn. gone The r t e h w r o a u s g , h h o h w i s e v i e o r r , ds n b o i t p hi l e n f g t there for his lordship to do, and the necessary in less less than half an hour. Mr. BaronChannell charged the grand jury at 12 at the 04?t l e , C‘nd Mr. Baron Watson soon after took his seat in the Civil Court. The calendar contains the names of 70 prisoners, 10 of whom are on bail. Both in number and cha racter of cr i m e this is a very light calendar. The en t r y of civil causes is of a character un known' in the recollection of any member of the Northern C;rcuit. For the North and East Ridings there is an entry of seven cause, and for the West Riding up to 5 o'clock only three causes were en tered. For the latter list, however, causes may be entered up to 12 o'clock to-morrow. On taking his seat Mr. Baron Watson inquired of the officer of the court the state of the cause list ? Mr. Bell having informed his lordship, Mr. Baron Watson (to the Bar).—This is a ter ribly44.o.—" To see the nakedness of bad cause list. Mr. Warren, the land have ye come .?” Mr. Baron Watson—This is very bad, very bad. An undefended cause was then called on, and disposed of, and the cause of HESP V. COOK Mr. Temple, Q. C. a ppeared for the plaintiff, and was next called on. Mr. Overend, ' Q.C., f o r the defendant. This was an action for breach of promise of mar riage, brought by the plaintiff, a farmer's daughter. The learned counsel for tho defendant agreed to a verdict for 2501. damages, on the terms that no action for seduction should be brought, the plain tiff having had a child by the defendant. Verdict accordingly. His lordship then tried criminal cases, and d;s posed of several street robberies at Leeds. THE PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE CIRCUIT. A considerable amount of discussion has taken place among the members of the bar on the pro posed annexation of Yorkshire to the Midland Cir cuit, which is understood to be recommended by the commissioners appointed to consider the re-ar rangement of the circuits. So far as thEnnsimbers of this circuit attending the York assizvs are concerned it appears t o h ave me t wi'h a most unqualified dis approval. Th e reas ons stated are these — that the members of th e c i rc uit attending York assizes for the most part go round the circuit to all the Northern cou n ti es , an d to compel them to elect to go the Midl an d v" tine Northern Circuit is in fact, to take the bar bodil aw ay from the Northern counties. e counter proposition was understood to b- t) add Lancashire to the Cheshire Circuit, the Northern Circuit being found by the judges to be too long and laborious . With regard to this proposition the general op inion seems to be that about one-half of the members of the circuit attend Liverpool assizes, and go nowhere aloe on the circuit, and to these gentlemen it can make no difference whether Lancashire belongs to the Cheshire and Welsh Circuit or to the Northern Circuit, for except ing to Liverpool they do not go the Northern Circuit; and to the other half, with few exceptions, they are quite indifferent about Lancashire, as tho,:e who have business in Yorkshire, and in the north ern. counties are not the men in business in Lan- I eashire. To put the .Flifferent Om tersely, the proposed addition of Yorkshire to the Midland Circuit will in all proliabitity mater'ally, injure 100 members of the c'rcuit wha ha.ve husinesain York shire and the northern counties ; while the counter project of adding Lancashire to the Welsh and Cheshire Circuits would not in all probability in jure the business of 10 men on the circuit, and would in other'respects be of public convenience, the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire being intimately interwoven. A third strong opinion is against all change of the circuit, and for sending down three judges instead of two to dispose of the increased business of this circuit, two judges sitting on the_criminal or civil side, as required by circumstances. One thing is certain, that the proposed change gives unqualified dissa tisfaction, and appears to be made quite irrespec tive of the interests and practice and state of busi ness of the circuit. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. ASSAULT IN MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE. Etnma Borchelt, 20, Elizabeth Edwards, 20, and Elizabeth Mann, 19, were indicted for assaulting Ebenezer Bower, Richard T. Tubbs, Henry Shep pard, and Hannah Jallings, officers of Marylebone Workhouse. Mr. Poland (for Mr. Bodkin) conducted the pro secution. It appeared that on the 224 of June Mrs. Jal - of Marylebone Workhouse, was walking round the yard, when she found the prisoners skip ping with a rope. She told them it was against the rules, and desired them very kindly to desist, but they refused. She afterwards told the superintend ent to give them oakum to pick, which seemed to have exasperated them to such a degree, that on meeting the matron in the pam,ge, Edwards and Burchell flew at her, tore her bonnet and collar to pieces, scratched her face, and did her considerable violence. The prisoners all pleaded guilty. The Court sentenced Burcuell to nine months, Elwards to six, and Mann to four months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-July 10. CLERKENWELL.—Sarah Davis, a marine store dealer, residing at 55, St. John-street, Clerk enwell, was charged with having in her possession a quantity of lead pipe and solder, of which she could not give a satisfactory account. From the statement of police-constable Henry Greathurst, 209 G, who has been very active in ap prehending thieves and marine-store dealers, it ap peared that yesterday he met the prisoner, wbo has been suspected for some time as being a regular "fence," carrying a quantity of lead pipe and solder, and upon asking her where she obtained it from and not receiving a satisfactory account he locked her up. Upon searching her residence he found a valuable silver 'watch, maker's name " Henry Jones, London. No. 960 ;" a gold Geneva watch, maker's name "Raffia, 30,037," a lady's gold chain, a gold signet ring, a large num ber of valuable prints, two publican's pots, a very large quantity of boots and shoes in an unfinished state, and numerous other valuable articles. The prisoner, who said nothing in her defence, was remanded until Thursday next, when other charges will be gone into against her. WORSHIP-STREET.—James Lawrence, land lord of the "Duke of York" public-house, Grove street, Spit%Melds, was charged with unlawfully serving spirituous and fermented liquors before one o'clock on Sunday afternoon by me ns of an inter nal communication between his own house and the adjoining prem'ses. Inspector Griffin went to the house about 12 o'clock, and heard such a murmur of voices that he asked "if there was a chapel in the neighbour hood 7" He then. proceeded to the lumber room, where be discovered a door concealed- behind a board. On knocking at the door he heard a voice say, "That's not the governor's signal," and another, "No, you fool, we have not drunk all the beer yet." On forcing the door, he found about 100 people drinking, who, on his appearance, made their escape by en outlet leading to a private house next the tavern. The defendant's solicitor urged a legal objection, viz., that the communication was external and apart from the dwelling house. The magistrate dismissed the summons, trustin g that proper measures would be instituted by the Excise officers for the suppression of such practices. Henry Seymour, charged nearly a month past with attempting to steal from the person of a lady in a carriage on the Eastern Counti,s Railway, and being in the possession of a - valuable jewelled ring, which he endeavoured to c0nc.:931 when tiken into custody, was a third time brought before Mr. Hammill. It will bo recolleCted that the lady, who, from ill-health and pressing engagements, was unable to attend at this court, bail taken the precaution to secure her purse to a steel chain passed round her waist, which consequently prevented the thief from retaining possession of it. The magistrate re manded the prisoner on the other charge, and Mr. Wontner, who defended him, now asked for his discharge. Mr. Hammill—l want some explanation about this ring. Mr. Wontner—He claims it as his own, sir. Prisoner—My grandfather, who was a diamond setter at Plymouth, made it for my father in 1846, and he gave it to me. lam a native of Brighton. Mr. Hammill—Where does your father live, and what is he? Prisoner—He is a draper in Church-street, Glas gow. Mr. Hammill—Very well. The police can in stitute inquiry. I shall endeavour by every means to ascertain the owner of the ring, and the truth of the prisoner's statements. Mr. Wontner—The police detectives and others have seen hit n, sir, and he is unknown—be has been remanded three times. Prisoner (passionately)—Why not give me what I'm to have at once—do something with me, and not remand me again. Mr. Hammill—That will do ; remove him. The accused was again locked up, but subse quently made a desperate effort to escape, striking Police-sergeant Brown, 15 G, blacking his eyes, and severely lacerating his hand with his t3etb. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. The annual general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket on Wednesday last, July 8. Present—Lord Zetland and Lord W. Powlett, stewards ; the Duke of Beaufort, Mr. S. R. Bat son, Lord Clifden, Mr. Greville, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Nevill, Mr. Payne, and Admiral Roue. The stewards acquainted the meeting that they had received a letter from the Earl of Derby, in the object of which they fully concurred, but as a general meeting of the club was so soon to take place they had thought it better to submit the matter to the meeting before taking any further steps. The letter was then read : "St. James-square, June 30. "My Lords,—lt has become a subject of general obser vation and regret that the number of men of station and fortune who support the turf is gradually diminishing, and that an increasing proportion of horses in training is in the hands of persons in an inferior position, who keen them, not for the purposes of sport, but as mere instru ments of gambling. lam aware that it is not in your lordships'- power to apply a remedy to this acknowledged evil, but I conceive that there are occasions in which it is within your poater, and, if so, I venture to think that it is your duty, as stewards of the Jockey Club, to exercise a wholesome influence upon the character and respectabi lity of the turf. You cannot debar any man, whatever his position in society, from keeping racehorses; nor do I recommend a vexatious end inquisitori .1 scrutiny info the character and conduct of those who do so. But when among their number are found those against whom flagrant cases of disgraceful fraud and dishonesty have been legally established it appears to me clearly within your province to stamp them with your reprobation, and to exclude them from association on an equal footing with the more honour able supporters of the turf. Such a case for your interven tion has, I think, arisen out of the late trial of Sidebot torn v. Adkins,' in which a sum of above 6,0001. has been recovered from the defendant on the avowed ground that it had been won by cheating with loaded dice. I cannot but think that this is a case which concerns the honour of the Jockey Club not to pass over in silence, and it would afford me great satisfaction to learn that you had taken it up in your official capacity ; but, in the event of your de clining to do so, I have to request that you will lay this letter before the Jockey Club at their next meeting ; and, as I am doubtful whether I maybe able to attend the July meetiog, and certain that I cannot do so on Wednesday, I will thank you to give notice, on my behalf, of the follow ing resolution : " That the Jockey Club, having taken into their consi deration the facts proved in evidence in the late case of " Sidebottom v. Adkins," direct that Mr. Adkins bewarned off the Heath at Newmarket; and that no horses of which he may be in whole or in part owner, be allowed to ran on any ground over which the Jockey Club exercise jurisdic tion." " I have the , honour to be, my Lords, y o ur obedient servant, " DERBY. " To the Stewaids of the Jockey Club." It was unauitnously agreed. That the resolution contained in Lord Derby's letter be adopted, and thathis lordship's letter be published with the minutes of this meeting." " Resolved,- - That notice be given to Ignatius Francis Coyle not to come upon the racecourse or exercise ground at Newmarket." The accounts of the last year, approved by the stewards, were presented and passed. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort was appointed a steward of the Jockey Club, in the place of the Earl of Zetland, who retires by rotation. " Resolved,—That rules Nos. 42, 4 3, . 44, and 45, on the subject-of trials at Newmarket., be rescinded." Resolved,—That in Sweepstakes and Plates where it is condition that winners shall carry extra weight, or that beeten - horses, shall be allowed weight, horses shall not be nor be entitledbablq to the penalty for winning a match, to the allowance for having been beaten in a match, whe ther matches are specially excepted by the published con ditioni of the race or not " -- "'ltesolve(l,—rhat in rule 69 th 3 words It is expected ,hat' be omitted." On the motion of the Duke of BEAUFORT it was re-solved— " That a Handicap Stake, with money added by the Jockey Club, should be established for Wednesday in the July Meeting, the conditions to be settled by the stewards." _ _ _ The Earl of Zeland was appointed a member of the Bentinek Fund Committee, in the place of Lord H. G. Lennox, who retires by rotnaion. The committee for the ensuing year consists of the Marquis of Auglesey, Lord PowleA, the Duke of Beaufort—stew:ircls of the Jockey Club ; Mr. Gratwicke, ;Ir. J. M.

Egerton, .whose death was re corded in the obituary of The Sun yesterday as having occurred on the Bth inst.', was one of the oldest Generals in the army. He entered the army in November, 1791, and saw much active service from that period up to the peace in 1815. Sir Chas. then a lieutenant, commanded a detachment of his regiment on board a line-of-battle-ship in Lord Howe's memoralle action on the Ist of June, 1794, and afterwards served at the blo-3kade of Malta, and the surrender of Valetta en the sth of Septembr, 1800, at thattime major of his regi ment. Thence he proceeded with his regiment in General Sir Ralph Abercromby's expedition to Egypt, and was present at the action of the 18th and . 21st of March, 1801. The gallant General afterwards joined the army in the Peninsula, and distinguished himself in Spain and Portugal under the Duke of Wellingionin 1810 and 1811. He was rewarded for his services iu the Peninsula with the silver war rnedaj and three clasps for Fuentes d'Ouor, Nivelle, and Orthes: In 1832 he was no minated a Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Order of [the Guelphs, and in 1837 made a Knight Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, and in September of the same year aprointed. Colonel of the 89th Regiment, which 15 thus loft at the disposal of the General Com mand ng-in-Chief. Bis ao,nmissions bore date as follows :—Eosign, November 16, 1791; Lieute nant, Marea 21, 1793", Captain, April 22, 1795 ; Major, June 1, 1798 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Novem ber 14, 1802 ; Colonel, June 4, 1810 ; Major- General, June 4,1814 Lieutenant-General, July 22, 1830 ; and General, November 9, 1846. Sir Charles was fourth son of Mr. Philip Egerton by his marriage with the daughter of the late Sir Francis H. Fa Styles, and was born at Oulton i ark, the ancient seat of the Egevons in Cheshire, in ],774. He married in 1809 the only daughter of the late Sir Thomas Troubridge, by whom, who died in 1849, he leaves issue. The gallant general was uncle to Sir Philip De Malpas Grey Eger ton, M.P. THF EUPHRATES VALLEY RAILWAY. The following is from the Chairman of the Eu phrates Valley Railway Company : "Sir,—When 'adverting to the Euphrates route to India in your impression of the I.lth of Feb ruary last you made the following forcible re mfirks " The rapidity with which. this (the connexion between England and India) can be carried out, the swailness of the outlay required, and the fact of the route being 1,000 miles shorter than that by ti e Bel Set, are unanswerable recommenda tions ; and it is imp sale to refer to the surveys and reports of General Chesney and his colleagues on the Euphrates, pub!ished.2o years ago, without astonishment that even at that period the British Government and people failed to take immediate ,tepa to avail themselves of its capabilities.' " eecent events in India have given the above observations tenfold forCe, and have made the Eu phrates . Valley RAilway, being politically and ilysically the shortest practicable route to India, a paramount and pressing state necessity. ' • The Red Sea route presents no facilities, for on the present emergency we prefer sending troops by sa ling vessels round the Cape rather than en cou'iter the delays and difficulties of the Red Sea. " Were the kuphrates Valley Railway—com pleted, thedespa.ch of 20 regiments from England would prove an easy matter. With the circuitous route'round the Cape accommodation for four or five regiments will be attended with difficulty, and these, moreover, instead of reaching their des-tina -tiou in three or four weeks, will probably not ar rive in Calcutta for the next four or five months. "For the Euphratesroute the support of Govern ment is Fought, on the ground that it would in -ffect connect the two great limbs of the empire, .England and India, by reducing the distande by upwards of 1000 miles, and the time to about.l4 days, or about half the period now occupied. "By the ecy:struction . of a nilway along the Euphrates British commerce will be largely in :rea-ed, Turkey will be strengthened, and Persia withdrawn f oin her clangorous isolation. "An excellent situat . on for a harbour has been surveyed by Sir John M'Neill at Seleucia, the ter minus of the proposed railway, which, being con nected with Busaorah at the head of the Persian. (gulf by a railway, will give to England the first strat,egical pos , tion i n th e wor ld.

I—The indefatigable researches of D r i Livingstone have suddenly made us acquainted with one the happiest people in the world, of whose ve r y existell" little was hitherto known iu civilised Europe generally. their ailments they never have recourse to cod liver oil, W e i , they are equally independent of physic and the physician, Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalen"" Arabica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease , , " consumption, scrofula, cancer, &c., having been scar ce ?, heard of, and the smallpox and measles have not been kn ov ; for 20 years." In England also the Revalenta Arabica has duced a wonderful improvement in the health of the peer' , removing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigesti on, (dyspepsia) constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver cony, plaints, and restoring the faculty of -digestion, and nervo t ? muscular energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by ta st e ''" menials from the celebrated Professor of Chemi s try v,;. Andrew tire ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; D r. C am pbeV Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ; Lord Stuart me o Decies ; the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart, and 50,00, other well known individuals, whose health has been restor e ; by this useful and economical diet, after all other means A o f cure bad been tried in vain for many years, and all hope !`" 0 recovery abandoned. Its effect on the progress of ~ populat i° is most favourable as exhibited by the Registrar-General,sh ° "; ing for Loudon an average of 1780 weekly births against I . mortality of 1200, leavin ga h appy ga i n o f 580, or nea r 50 PI cent. in favour of progress ;* a result most cheering to classes, as it opens a fair prospect that by the more get's';ii use of Du Barry's Revalent a Arabica, Food the Europeans 1 / 4 soon enjoy the same freed,,m from disease as the ilrf".
