Rentes flat, and closed at 58f. 15c., b lower than yesterday. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, August 10. Official advices have been received from Damascus to the 4th inst. On the 3rd inst., Fuad Pacha arrested 330 persons who took part in the massacres. On the 4th the number arrested exceeded 400. It was expected that those most compromised would be arrested on the 6th. All of them will be tried by an extraordinary com mission appointed by Fuad Pacha, and those con victed would be executed immediately. The arrests were peaceably effected, and the city was perfectly tranquil. The troops had given proofs of patriotic ardour. It is expected that the committee. of twenty one members of the Reichspath, having sue cesively received communications from all ministers, will terminate its sittings to-morrow. The members have agreed to draw up the pro ject relative to the political organisation of the -Austrian empire in the most simple manner pos sible, in order to oblige the Government to give its answer affirmative or negative in the most decided manner. The Resolution was adopted at a private sitting of the committee by a majory of 1 8 against 3. The committee is of opinion that a constitution based upon the federative sys tem demanded by the Hungarian delegates, should be granted to all the provinces, thus recog nising the intimate union which henceforth must exist between all the provinces of the empire. All the members of the Council of the Empire are invited to be present at the inauguration of the railway from Saltzburg to Munich, which is to take place on Sunday next. The official Weiner Zeitung, of this morning, publishes a report of the Minister of Finance on the present financial condition of the empire, and the means of covering the different deficit. The minister states that the deficit of 1861 is estimated at 3 9,000,000 of florins. The deficit of 1860 was estimated at 87-1 millions, which by additional outlays was increased by 7 and 3-sth millions. To cover. this deficit there was at the disposal of the Ministry 76i millions of florins in the Trea sury, and 39,1 millions resulting from the reduc tion of the expenses and a surplus of receipts. After covering the deficit of 'lB6O, there remains a sum of 201 millions. The amount result ing from the reduction of expenses, and from extraordinary income, will be sufficient to meet the deficit of 1861, leaving the above balance entirely at the disposal of the Minister to meet the deficit of 1862, consequently there is no necessity for an increase of tax, or a new loan. The Minister concludes the report by saying that the income and expenditure, may therefore be considered as being equalised. REPRESENTATION OF PLYMOUTH. it is stated that Mr. George Moffatt, formerly M.P. for Ashburton and Dartmouth, will be brought forward as a Liberal candidate on the occasion of the next election for Plymouth. The works at Cherbourg are being prosecuted 'with the greatest activity. The statement by Lord John Russell, last even ing, that the British Government do not concur in the attempt to gain admission for Spain to the ranks of a first-rate Power, gave great satisfac tion in the city. The decision, last night, on the Galway Mail Subsidy, is in accordance with the general desire to see the Government invariably take a stand on the unequivocal fulfilment of every absolute or implied bargain at any time entered into. Trade assignees were chosen, yesterday, under the bankruptcy of Messrs. Hooper and Parkin- Son, hide factors, and of Messrs. Daunt and ,Wilson, bill brokers, whose liabilities were stated at :C121,442. Immezliately on the arrival of General Goyon in Parik he received a telegram, command ing his presence at the camp at Chalons, where he had an interview with the Emperor. It is now rumoured that he will return to Rome by the end of the month. The prospectus of the Volunteers' Assurance Friendly Society is in circulation. The object is to raise a fund by &mations from the public, and by contributions of 10s. 6d. per awl= each from volunteers, to be devoted to giving compensation to the relatives of volunteers vvho meet their death while on duty. Compensation for accidents incurred while on duty is also to enter into the "rapany's programme. Refe rence is made in ,the prospectus to the serious aceidento which 'lave already taken place. The names of some influential gentlemen, including the Duke of Wellington, are put forward as patrons. AFRICAN MAILS. ARRIVAL OF THE ATHENIAN. - LOSS OF THE STEAMER GANGES. The , royal mail steamer Athenian arrived in the Mersey at 8.45 a.m. on Saturday last, with forty passengers, 1,728 ounces of gold, and a Jeneral cargo. Her dates are — F ernando Po, une 28; Cameroons, ; Old Calabar, July 2; Brap, 6; Bonny and New Calabar, 6; Benin, 8; -Tun, 8 ; Lagos, 10; Accra, 1.2; Capp Coast Castle, 1 4; Cape Palmas, 16; Sierra Leone, 21; Bathurst, Teneriffe, .31; and Madeira, August 2. The Oriental Inland Steam Navigation Com pany's steamer Ganges, built by Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead, for the Indian rivers, foundered at_ sea on the 29th July, in lat. 35 N., lon. 14 W. The captain, .chief engineer, carpenter, steward, and six seamen are missing. No apprehensions, however, are entertained for their safety, as the Weather was moderate, and they bad plenty of provisions in the boat with them. Ile rest of the ,crew arrived at Madeira in boats: Trade is improving at Fernando Po. The 'health of the island is good. At Cameroons the trade is quiet. The war at Lagos between the natives is not ended. The palm oil season is dull ; 15,600 shipped from south coast during April and May. Success has not attended the attempt to introduce salmon ova into Australia. Owing to rough weather in the Channel, a nd to a deficiency of ice, the ova p er i s hed ; but, from the length of time they lived, th.ere is every reason to be sanguine that another experiment will succeed. AN UNsoPHISTICATED ABIGAIL.—A notable lady (of Edinbugh, I suppose) had long been annoyed and fretted by her own town ser vants, and bein g no lon g er able to bear their manifold tricks and malpractices, she intimated to her friends her purpose of getting an un sophisticated girl from the country, who she could train to her mind; and she was fortunate enough In securing a Young woman from a remote corner in the land, and thoroughly recommended for activity, honesty, and good nature.

The Royal mail steamer Africa, Captain Shannon, arrived in the Mersey last evening, at six o'clock. All mails, with the exception of Liverpool, were landed at Queenstown at mid night on Saturday. She brings $428,012 specie, and dates to the Ist inst. The steamers Bohemia; Saxonia, Prince Albert, and City of Washington had arrived out. The sailing of the Atlantic Company's steamer Connaught was postponed till the ith inst., when the repairs to her machi nery will be thoroughly completed. The City of Washington struck an iceberg off Cape of Good Hope, but sustained no damage. The Royal squadron conveying the Prince of Wales arrived at Halifax on the morning of the 30th ult., and about noon the Prince and suite entered amidst booming of cannon. The most enthusiastic demonstration on the part of the people was evinced. On the 31st ult. he reviewed the troops in the morning, and after partaking of a lunch at the Government House, his suite weht to see the rustic sports that had been got up in his honour. There was a general holiday in Halifax during two days. The Great Eastern went on her promised trip to Cape May on the 30th ult., and took over 2,000 excursionists. She was to return to New York on the evening of the 31st ult. Washington despatches mention a rumour that there is a well organised movement in several of the Southern States, looking to a dissolution of the Union on the plan promulgated by Mr. Keitt. It is alleged that agents are already gone abroad to ascertain what course England and France will pursue in the event of the establishment of a Southern Confederacy. COMMERCIAL. NEW Yoni, July 31.—There was much excitement and irregularity, with a large business in Stocks yester day, caused in part by a failure among the jobbers. The market finally closed firm. No variation in money or exchanges. Cotton unchanged, Coffee active, closing buoyantly. Molasses in limited request, at steady rates. Sugar quiet; refining grades heavy. Naval Stores steady. Spirits of Turpentine at fair request at the close. Flour firmer and more active, chiefly for export. Wheat a shade better, and iu fair request for shipment. Corn rather firmer, and in good demand for export and the East. OSWEGO, July 31.—Flour dull, but unchanged. PHILADELPITTA, July 31.—Flour dull, and declined 124 c. From Messrs. W. and P. Wright and Co.'s circular we learn :—The complaints of injury to the crops from drought are assuming more importance. Cotton is suffering oil all the ridges and sandy uplands through out the country. The plant is small, and is being forced to fruit prematurely. Texas, Florida, and the Atlantic States appear to suffer more than other sections, and if the dry weather continues great loss will fall upon farmers and planters from the failure of the corn (In dian) crop, and the reduced yield of cotton. The posi tion of the crop at this moment is somewhat critical ; continued drought or continuous rain would result in serious damage ; the best weather would be alternate rain and sunshine. Public opinion is very sensitive on the weather question, and already some operations have been entered into, at prices for above the parity of Liverpool, for the benefit or otherwise of the chances. NEW ORLEANS, July 28th.—Market quiet. Sales to day, 1,100 bales, at 101 c. to 101 c. for Middling. Sales for the week, 5,250 bales.

FURTHER PARTICULARS, We are to-day enabled to furnish more detailed par ticulars of the frightful accident at Dover, of which a notice has already appeared. The Archcliff Fort battery, the scene of the melancholy occurrence, has been regularly used the Artillery Volun teers since their organisation for the purpose of gun drill. It lies to the westward of the town, and is the nearest battery to Shakspeare's Cliff, which is on its right, the viaduct of the South-Eastern Railway running from one point to the other. That fort is bounded on three of its sides by a broad parapet, that on its right overlooking a ditch or foss which cuts off the line of fortification from the adjacent country, the road to Shakspeare's Cliff crossing it by means of a draw bridge. At the time of the accident the members of the corps in attendance were engaged at target-practice, which had just commenced. Three guns were mounted along the front of the battery, and were pointed at the target, which was placed at the necessary distance out in the Channel. The guns were the ordinary 32-pounders used by the Royal Artillery, who had repeatedly fired the whole of them, and it is believed they had all under gone the necessary tests, although there appears to be little doubt that they have been a considerable time in use. It was the centre one of the three that exploded ; and from all that can be at present ascertained there appears to be no doubt that the explosion was owing to a flaw in the gun. Lieutenant Thompson, Sergeant Monger, Sergeant Matthews (instructing sergeant of the Royal Artillery), Gunner Pell, and several other members of the corps were upon the righthand parapet overlooking the ditch before mentioned, which is between twenty and thirty feet deep, and on the explosion taking place, six of tbeir number were hurled over —viz., Lieutenant Thompson, Sergeant Monger, Corporal Austen, Gunner Boulding, and Bugler Ticker, and a young gentleman named Harris, the nephew of Capt. Wollaston, who commands the corps. Five out of the six were carried over into the ditch, but the sixth, Mr. Austen, caught held of some long grass which was growing on the outer edge of the parapet, and was thus saved from sharing the fate of his unfortunate com panions-; indeed, he escaped without any injury whatevew. , Mr. Tucker also escaped injury in a most miraculous and extraordinary Planner, being able to get up from the ground soon after alighting, and walk away. It was at once seen, however, that the injuries sustained by at least three of the remaining volunteers were serious. Lieutenant Thompson, it is said, got upon his legs for a inerneUt, and, with that kindness of heart for which he was always remarkable, said to those near him, "1 em not hurt ; let us see about the others !" but on turning round in the endeavour to carry out his benevolent des* , he fell backwards and expired without uttering another ward, Mr. Monger and Mr. Harris were con veyed to the military hospital, which is about a quarter of a mile distant from the fort; but in the case of Mr. Nonger death took place immediat4 after his arrival. Mr. liarris was found to be suffering from c oncussion of the brai n , H e s till lies in a very critical state ; but the medical men give hopes of his recovery. Boulding was pot seriously hurt, aid pas taken to his own home in fi fly. The gunner who applied the match, Mr. MIAOW, i 41 19 was wounded in the head, but not very severely. Ile behaved with great eonrage and coolness, beseeching t h os e who were about him, as soon as a bandage had been applied to his head, to give their sole attention to those who were more seriously injured. Mr. Gillian, who was standing near, was struck upon the arm by a splinter from the exploded gun, whereby the limb was rather badly fractured. Dr. Astley, who is one of the lieutenants of the corps, was present at the time of the occurrence, and Mr. Ottaway, Mr. H. Coleman, Mr. Walter, other medical men were on the spot in a short can m as u c z er z t l a e i d n r , op th p e ing gun time after. parted j ust - From what , we e below the trunme, ,-.' to the ground, ow about thirtyyards to the and the breach being bl . , portion was split rear.

Two t h of .--":13 pieces were blown over the left side of the battery into the goods station of the youth-Eastern Railway, and it is said that one of these bears un mistakeable tokens of the defective character of the gun. The other piece, which is three or four feet in length, was deeply imbedded in the ground by the violence of the concussion. b Mr. Mower, of a t er, who carried on the business __ o ac eonist in Snargate-street, leaves a wif e and two children.

CROWN COURT,—SATURDAY. (Before Mr. BARON MARTIN.) Baron Martin took his seat on the bench this morning at nine o'clock. FELONIOUS ASSAULT UPON A FEMALE AT WEST DERBY. Henry Heyes, 25, stood indicted with having, on the 11th of June last, feloniously assaulteoarah Robinson. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Preston, and Mr. Higgins defended the prisoner. The details of this case are unfit for publication, beyond the fact, that the prisoner was a travelling showman, and had a performing booth at Wavertree ; and the prosecutrix. a girl 19 years of age, was a relative by marriage, and one of the performers. On the day in question they met together in Christian-street, and the prisoner treated her with several glasses of "rum punch," and subsequently, in a lane at Tuebrook, committed the assault complained of. For the defence it was urged that the prosecutrix was an assenting party, and had admitted that such was the case when first before the magistrates ; but, having been sent to Kirkdale gaol to make a confession to the chap lain, she afterwards made the present charge. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. In passing sentence upon the prisoner, his Lordship observed that he quite con curred iH the verdict of the jury, for he thought that it was one of the worst cases that it had ever been his misfortune to have tried. The prisoner, who, as a relative of the girl, an orphan, should have protected her, had deliberately effected her ruin. There could be no doubt but that he had purposely met her, and induced her to take the drink, and that while she was labouring under its effects, he had effected the ruin of that young girl, who had up to that time, notwithstanding the temptations of her calling preserved her virtue up to that day. A few years since, for such an offence the prisoner undoubtedly would have been executed, and if it was desirable that capital punishment should be con tinued at all, there was a prevailing opinion that it should be extended to such offenees as such assaults upon females. The prisoner was then sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for the remainder of his life. ASSAULT UPON A CHILD. James Eckersley, 20, stood charged with having criminally assanited Mary Fletcher, a child only nine years of age, at Westleigh, in this county. Guilty of attempting to commit the offence. Twelve months. THE LATE CHILIAN AFFAIR. In the course of the day Mr. Deighton applied to his Lordship to know when it would be convenient for him to pass judgment upon William Leslie, whom Baron Wat.toa had, at the last assizes, let out upon his own recognisances until the ease had been signed in the Court of Queen's Bench. Leslie, it will be recollected, was the captain of a ship which brought over three gentlemen to this country, who had rendered themselves obnoxious to the Chillian Government, who had paid Leslie a certain amount to bring them to this country. Upon their arrival they made complaints ; and Leslie, as the captain of the vessel, was committed for trial on a charge of having imprisoned those three gentlemen. The point had been argued, :04. the court had decided that there was an imprisonment, and LezliP was present to receive the judgment of the court. His Lordship said he would dispose of the ease at ten o'clock on Monday morning. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT LIVERPOOL High O'Donnell, 40, who was charged with having caused the death of his wife on the 25th of June last, was set at liberty, no evidence having been offered. The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Simon, said be 441 not think the charge could be sustained, as the statements of the witnesses went to prove that the death was occasioned by accident. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT CHORLEY. William Wood, aged 30, and Matthew Molyneux, 1 aged 19, stood charged with having on the 12th of May last stolen, from the person of Mrs. Kemp, a satchel and other property. In this clop the prosecutrix was walking along the Charlton-road, about ten deice* in the mor ning, when she was met by the prisoners, who attacked her, and she was so alarmed that she begged of them to let her go if they took all she possessed. They took her 'satchel and shawl, and then threw into a ditch. A per son came up at the time, when the prisoners made their escape, but were soon after captured, with the property in their possession. The prisoners were not defeeded by counsel, nor did they address the court. Guilty. His lordship, in passing sentence upon them, said it was one Of the most impudent and atrocious acts he had ever beard—to attack a female in th e hi g h noon day—and ordered tbeW to be kept in penal serv i tude for f i fteen years each. ASSAULT AND ISUItGL4RY, Samuel Mills, aged 41, stood charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mary Mills, and also with having grossly assaulted ker. On the sth of June, the prisoner went to the house of the proseentrix when in a state of intoxication, seized her by the hand, and then bit her through the cheek and nose. He was acquitted on the charge of burglary, and, having pleaded guilty to the assault, was sentenced to eighteen months' imprison ment, A GANG OF MANCHESTER HOUSEBREAKERS. The following prisoners, whq were tried on Friday, and found guilty of committing several berglaries in or near Manchester, were then placed in the dock to receive the sentence of the court : —John Sutherst, Robert Kay, Joseph Naylor, Adam Dawson, and Elizabeth Bamford. In passing sentence upon this gang of thieves, his Lord ship observed that there were two good results which would arise from this conviction. The gang which had been so long in existence, and had committed so many depredations in and about Manchester, by a regular and systematic organisation, would be broken up, and it would also show such depredators that when they did so unlawfully combine together that they were never safe, for, as in this case, one of the gang had turned approver, and brought them all to justice. From what had transpired on the trial, there could be no doubt but that in Manchester there was some source from whence the funds were raised to assist such men to escape from justice, and itsticli was the case it was much to be regretted; Nit in this case the ends of justice had not been frustrated, and. the sentence be should pass upon these prisoners would rid society of their presence for some time, and he hoped it would be a warning to them and others like them. Sutherst and Naylor were then sentenced to be kept in penal ser vitude for 20 Years ; Kay to 12, and the other two to 6 months' imprisonment.—John Roden, who had pre viously been found guilty of breaking into the house of Mr. Luckman, was then sentenced to 12 months' impri sonment. John Williams, who was also engaged in the same robbery, , vss sentenced to be kept in penal servi tude for 20 years. Michael O'Hara, another of the same gang, and also engaged in the last-mentioned bur glary, was likewise sentenced to 20 years' penal servi tude. GAROTTE ROBBERY AT MANCHESTER. James Flynn, aged 18, and Martin Hart, also aged 18, stood charged with having, en the Bth of April last, assaulted and robbed Thomas Nixon. The facts of the case were very brief, although it occupied the attention of the court for a considerable time, owing to the pri soners haying attempted to prove an alibi. On the night of the robbery, the prosecutor, an elderly man, was returning home with his wife, he being rather the worse for liquor, when he was seized by two persons, one of whom held him, while the other stole his watch. He did not see the persons, but his wife, who begged of them to spare the old man, distinctly swore that the tWo prisoners were the parties. For the defence, the two counsel, Messrs. Fearnley and Torr, engaged for the prisoners, addressed the jury at considerable length, suggesting that the wife had made a mistake in swearing to the prisoners, as they should call witnesses to prove that they were elsewhere at the time of the robbery, and could not possibly have beep. present. Several ifP summed up upwards of or witnesses were called to support those stat ements. The t p h r e os e e 74e havingcutionnne,and the jury , his retiring Lordsh half-an-hour, returned verdict of gu ilt y a gainst each of the prisoners. Sentence deferred. replied, after The court then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning, when the trial of prisoners will be proceeded with. NISI PRIUS COURT.—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Baron WILDE.) COMPENSATION FOR BODILY INJURY.— HOLME V. CLARK.—In this case the plaintiff, who was formerly employed at the defendant's cotton mill, in Manchester, sought compensation for the loss of an arm, which loss had been occasioned by alleged negligence on the part of the defendant and his servants. Mr. Bliss, q.c., attorney general for this county, appeared; with atiOthOr learned counsel, for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jones con ducted the case for the defendant. It appears that in the month of July, 1857, the plaintiff, while oiling a portion of the machinery in the blowing-room, had his arm caught between two of the wheels of the machine, and tom almost completely off. The machine works very rapidly, and requires frequent oiling ; there are very few oil cups, and the oil has therefore to be poured in (according to the plaintiffs case) through apertures, white the macline soon 4ftet the acci dent he was discharged from the defendant's mill, the defendant eventually gave him £5 as compensation, and with this money he purchased a small horse and cart. He made repeated applications to the defendant, and was promised more money ; but being discontented with the way in which his applications had lately been received, he sold his horse and cart, in order to come to Liverpool and bring the present action. It was further stated, au behalf pf the pl a i n tiff , that a b out t we l ve mOUthshefore July, 1857, anoth er acc id en t o f a s i m ilar kind happened , i n w hic h the reach*, that used to ptot toct tits m achinery was brokprh and had not," until after the acpiclot 119 W in question, been replaced. clu beht4 of the defendant a number of witnesses Were called, who swore that the machine was properly supplied with oil cups, and that the plaintiff had no occas i on to do the work he was doing at the time of the a ccident ; also, that the plaintiff, when pouring in the oil, used his left d for that purpose; which was a direct eyidence of negligence on his part, inasmuch as the construction of the machine required the right hand to be used in pour ing in the oil. With regard to the provisions of the act of Parliament, it was contended 'by the defen dant's counsel that that act applied only to women and children, and not to adults. His lordship, in addressing the jury, made reference to the act of Parliament (which requires such machinery to be fenced and protected for women and children), that it was most salutary in operation. And it was most unques tionable that in this case the position of the machinery, which came within the statute, was not properly pro tected. It was also evident that the other machines in the same room were fenced, and that this one was also once fenced, but the guard had been broken down. Upon the question of law which the case involved he would give defendants leave to move in the superior court. The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages £2OO. ACTION FOR AN ASSAULT.-00DEN V. DUCKWORTH. --Mr. Monk, Q.C., conducted the plaintiff's case in this action, and the defendant was represented by Mr. E. James, Q.C. The plaintiff is a plumber and glazier residing in Bury, and on the 26th of March in the pre sent year; he had been at a neighbouring small town in company with a person named Hanley, who is a friend of the defendants, and they went together to a public house called the "Boar's Head." They entered the bar parlour, and the defendant, who, with a number of other persons, was sitting inside, invited them to join in a game called the " the toothache." This joke is employed for the purpose of getting the victim to stand glasses round. It is as follows : One of the company pretends to be suddenly seized with a violent toothache, for a remedy for which he canvasses the opinions of those present. After a variety of domestic and profes sional applications have been suggested some one (ill the secret) proposes that a paper of salt should be applied in a warm state to the aolaing jaw, The suffering man finds some pretext for leaving the room, and, in his absence, the paper is opened and sawdust substituted for salt. In the meantime the man with the toothache has another paper of salt made up, similar to the first, s.ud, upon his return into the room, bets are made that he will not guess what is ill the paper oil the stove. He of course says salt, and the eleNge4 betters disr . . . . cover to their amazement that it really is salt, and not sawdust as they supposed. As we before stated the I plaintiff was invited to speculate upon the pre babilities of this interesting game, and upon his saying that he "knew the trick," the defendant became very violent and said Hanley must have told him. The plaintiff denied this, and consequently drew down the defendant's wrath upon himself. In the course of the quarrel which followed the defendant called plaintiff some very ill names, and the latter retorted by saying that at all events "he had never made pins." This was 44 allusion to the defendant's occupation during a term of imprisermeg he sugere4 wb.en young; he became excited, and seizing a stick he gave the tilaiatil three violent blows on the head. The blows would appear to have been of a most serious character, as they. were attended with effects which prevented the plaintiff from following his usual occupation, and a large wound on his forehead is still very visible. He was confined to his pom for a considerable time after the affrity, and is now suffering fxgni , CU Z EiI 9S i !3 t 49 Head. The learned counsel who conducted the plaintiff's case stated his opening address that he came to ask for his client reason: able but sufficient damages. In considering the amount of these damages, the jury would remember the loss which the plaintiff had sustained, the expense to which he had been put, and the suffering he had undergone. This was the plaintiff's case ; the defendant's version was slightly different. According to the witnesses, who were called upon his (defeugap•Vif) aide, tl:e plaintiff , gave great provocation ; it wurf4 epecraily atiuoyit ! g t o the defeat to have his former imprisonment alluded to as he had undergone it when merely a boy. It was further urged that the plaintiff Tfis & Ma& of 'lither quarrelsome disposition, prone to " an occasional glass, , ; and that on the occasion in question he was very much in liquor. It was also stated that he had so late as SatiFday last offered to fight the defendant for a sum of money, Re did not name the injuries in bis bend to the policeman who took him home, and upon the whole the evidence for the defence tended to lessen consider- ably the amount of injury which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained. The jury, after a brief consultation, found R. verdict for the plaintiff, with one farthing damageo. The Court adjourned shortly before six o'clock. THE INAUGURATION OF THE ELLES- MERE MEMORIAL The inauguration of the memorial erected at Worsley, in memory of tbe late Earl' of Ellesmere, the foundation stone of which was laid on the 17th November, 1858, took place on Friday last at one o'clock. The weather was very unfavourable, rain falling heavily. Notwith standing this, there was large number of spectators, including many ladies. Amongst the members of the Ellesmere family present were the Earl and Conntess, their two sons, Lord Brackley and the Hon. Alfred Egerton, and Captain Egerton. The Dowager Countess was unable to leave the hall. The monumental tower, of which the memorial con sists, presents a very striking and. beautiful view to the visitor, who approaches it from the village of Worsley. It is situated on high ground, to the right of the road way to the west of Worsley New Flail, which stands 'midway between the memorial and the chuiai, it is built on still higher ground than the hall, and com mands very extensive views from all sides. It is said said that, from the observatory on the summits, parts of seven counties are visible, namely, Laticashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, and Yorkshire. The structure consists of' an octagonal shaft, rising one hundred and thirty-two feet from an enriched base, which is approached by bold stone steps, forming a spacious platform and footing to the whole, forty-nine feet square. On four sides of the base en riched panels are sunk, and bordered by breadths of coloured tiles. On one of these panels are carved the arms of the late Earl, with an inscription to his memory engraved below, as follows :—" An affectionate tribute to the memory of Francis Egerton, first Earl of Elles mere, 8.G., from ,the tenantry, servants, carriers, and others connected with his landed and trading interests, 1860." The shafts of the detached columns are formed of marble, with carved caps and moulded bases, Above are arches of biue and red bricks, surmounted by a crocketed and finialled canopy. Between each pair of buttresses is an arcade, with marble shaftiets and tre foiled heads; and at the four angles, over the buttresses, rise detached moulded pedestals, bearing carved lines and gilped vanes. At the bottom of the an n hoend each face, is a. window, surmounted by canopy crocheted and finialled, the spaces being filled in with trefoils and carvings. The shaft itself is filled with trefoiled lights. At the top of the shaft an observatory is constructed, and lighted en each f ace by deeply -recessed windows. The shafts of the wi n d ows are of marble, and a wrought-iron railing surrounds the balcony. The finial and vane are also of iron, the spindle being brought through the top stone, and bolted to a cross-bar. Hollington stone has been used, being the same as that of which the hall is built. The whole of the lights in the tower Fe filled with Af ceres patent shadow raised glass,!' a description of col oured glass which has only recently come it to use. The lightsiu the base were the gifts of Mr. Fereday S m i t h ; and those in the observatory were presented by the workpeople in the Worsley yard. The architect was Mr. Webber, of the Adelphi, London, who has also been the builder, according to the terms made by the committee. 'lhe cost has been between £l,OOO and £2,000, Whi c h is covered by subscriptions to the amount of £2,100. The Rev. St. Vincent Beechey commenced the pro ceedings by reading a hymn, which he had composed for the occasion. The hymn was afterwards sung by the school children, and the assembly. Mr. Beechey then offered up a prayer, after which Mr. Fereday Smith presented the noble Earl with an address, engrossed and illuminated by ➢fr. Currie, one of the clerks to the Bridgewater Trust. The Earl of Ellesmere, in reply, said he felt great pleasure in accepting the memorial which bad been offered to him. He was sure it would be always regarded with grateful remembrance by all his family, who were bound to his father by so many ties. The noble Earl concluded by thanking those who had con tributed to the memorial for the honour they had done him. After a few words from Mr. John Smith and the Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, the band played the " Halle lujah Chorus," and 4 , God save the Queen," and the ceremony terminated. THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1860. CORONER'S COURT-SATURDAY.

THE MAJESTIC.—From our shipping intelligence it will be seen that this vessel passed Holyhead on Satur day. She will probably arrive in the Mersey early this morning• BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB. CLOSING MATCH OF THE SEASON. A very unseasonable day did not prevent a large number enjoying the excitement furnished by the closing match of the Birkenhead Yacht Club on Saturday. A dull and threatening morning was succeeded by a cloudy day, with a strong breeze from the northwest, which, although calculated to test the sailing qualities of the' yachts to the utmost, promised to mar the enjoyment of the spectators ; but, with the exception of one heavy shower of rain, the weather was rather favourable than otherwise. The race was under the direction of the commodore (Harrison) ably assisted by the active vice commodore Scott. The scene was - enlivened by the presence of an excellent band, which, under the direction of Mr. Phillips, played at intervals during the race. The wants of the inner man were catered for by Mr. Anderson, of the Merchants• New Dining-rooms, in the usual unique style of that establishment. There were five yachts entered for the race, namely— Zephyr, 53 tons, owned by Rowland Beauer, Esq. ; Stella, 73, A. Bower, Esq. ; Barracouta, 33, J. M. Hannay, Esq. ; Vision, 71, C. IL Mddington, Esq. ; Snake, 73, W. Wilkinson, Esq.. The start was made at five minutes to two o'clock, and was for the following course :—From Woodside-pier round a flag-boat sta tioned at Bromboro pool, thence round a flag-boat stationed southward of the Dingle, baek to flag-boat at Dromboro' pool, returning to flag-boat stationed southward of Woodside-pier, back round the flag boats stationed off Bromboro' pool and southward of the Dingle, returning direct to Woodside-pier. At the start the lead was taken by the Barracouta, closely fol.: lowed by the Snake and Vision, the other boats keeping well up for a short time, 14 falling considerably behind before arriving at the first flag-boat, the race being evidently between Barracouta, Snake, and Vision. At Bromboro' pool flag-boat the little Barracouta was still ahead The following is the respective times of passing of the three between whom the race now 14Y Barraeouta 2 20 3 1 6 Snake 2 23 2:3 Vision After passing this boat the Barracouta fell behind, leaving the race now between th,e_§n4lie and the Vision. The excitement of the race was considerably enhanced by the evident danger of the Zephyr at this time ; she was carrying so much sail, and the breeze being so strong, that there was evident difficulty in keeping her from falling on her side. The steatner was, Two than once, pat about to c o tq npr assistance, but she righted herself, and the steamer then proceeded. The Zephyr had eventually to discontinue the struggle, having lost her bowsprit. On the second approach to the Bromboro' flag• boat,' the yachts were all up - within a. short distance of each other, the Vision nol , i being first, closely followed by the Snake.

As the other vessels were now virtually out of the race, we give tile iut round of the two Woodside. Brom. Dingle. Woodside. Vision snake the Vision having thus arrived five and a half minutes before the Snake. We are sorry to have to announce that a protest was handed in to the Commodore by Mr. Wilkinson, the owner of the Snake, to qw, following effect Tnat the yacht Vision did wilfully foul my 'acht Snake at the Bromboro' flagship, and. also compelled the Snake to heave about at the Dingle, Trhen, in accordance with the rules of the club, it was he duty of the vision to put about." The mgter is to be bronght before the co,nituittee of the club on Wed nesday evening neV, at eight o'clock, when the affair will be decided. We refrain from offering any remarks on the race-whilst it is thus ppicipt‘c save to again cipreso our regtst that any circumstance should have arisen calculated to cause annoyance or call for the interference of the committee.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY. (Before Mr. RA.f.ms.) T#E BALL AND THE sHAwLI A sort of sleepy Venus-looking great grand-daughter, in about the sixty thousand degree from mother Eve, came fuY ward to charge another sister, for having committed divers crimes and misdemeanors against her person and property. The name of the complainaut, as it appeared on Mr. Bluck's brief (fur that gentleman was her advocate) is Harriet Prescot, and the patronymic of the defendant is Ellen Short, which was given, no doubt, in consequence of her being nearly six feet high. Both were dressed a la mode, hoops included. Mr. Black opened the case, and then called his client, who tried to smile like a moonbeam, and went on state that she attended a ball in Lime-street, and left about two o'clock in the maining, She left with two "gentlemen," and they were proceeding down Rimelagh-atreet, when the defendant came up to them, and without " rhyme or reason " made an attack on her, tore her face and hands, and what was worse, tore her silk lace shawl, that cost her four guineas, at Mr. Davies' shop, London.road, about a fortnight ago, and she had only, worn it twice. Here the " rem ains" of the silk lace shoulder covering was h e ld up to public gaze, and a good deal of publi c l aughter fol lowed, for such a sight,—that is, for a silk lace shawl— was never seen since the invention of silkworms or mulberry trees 1 . The complainant said a doctor could cure the dilapida tion on her face and hands, but she could not get a doctor to Patch up the rents on her shawl. Some people maintain that !hatter is indestructible; but so far as the piece of personal furniture in question was concerned, the theory was absolutely false, for it was almost annihilated beyond the redemption of all silkworms. In reply to Mr. Raffles, the short-tall prisoner said, I was going home this morning, when I met that lady, along with two "gentlemen," conaing out of an hotel, and I recog nised one of the " gentlemen" as a " gentleman of m i ne, " (laughter,) and asked her could she not be happy with either, (laughter); •and what do you think she did? Why, she smacked me in the face, and I could not brook the insult as an Englishwoman. I deny having mangled that shawl in the way it appears ; it was pulled about by some person who came up ; and besides that, it is not worth fourteen pence, instead of four guineas. Complainant : It is not worth fourpence new, but I gave four guineas for it. Mr. Raffles sent a policeman to Compton House, to inquire what the value of the shawl was ; and on his return he said it was valued (not in its present state) at £4. Mr. Raffles' said he would fine the prisoner £4 for the shawl. The prisoner said she would send for some friend, a " gentleman," who would pay the amount. She was then removed. • ATTEMPTING TO SHOOT AN OLD LADY. James Miller, a stupid looking man, described 8,6 lireman on board the Sicilian (screw steamer), 1 - 09' charged with attempting to shoot Stoma Leftas, 1M old lady who keeps a lodging-houSe at' 227, Mill-street. It appeared that on Satur day last the prisoner came from sea, and went to lodge at complainant's house; but they were obliged to put him away on Tuesday. On Friday evening he entered the house, and she asked him to sit down; but seeing him look wildly, sa e asked what was the matter with him, and he replied : am come to shoot you, you must not live, but must die now," at the same time presenting two pistols at her breast. She grappled with him and shouted for assistance, when her hus band, came and wrested one of the pistols , and she ran out for assistance, when a butcher came, and both pistols ere taken from him ; the butcher fired off one ; both ere capped and loaded with powder and ball. In reply to Mr.' Ratliefe; ,lit' old lady said the prisoner appeared its liquor,' and lie 44 been drinking since he came from - sea. - The htiiband corroborated 'her statement. The . priionei dec complainant inecl to say anything, and he waS remanded for a week. THE SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN. James M'Carthy, a dock labourer, living iu Oriel-street, was brought up on remand, charged with having codtruitted a des perate assault on police-officer 530, by throwing a brick off a house at him, which inflicted a dangerous wound on his head. Mr. Block was for the prisoner. The details of this serious case were published two or three days ago in the Daily Ti me , Surgeon Waters, who has been in attendance on the injured man, stated that he had progressed very favourably, much more so than he at first expected, and it nothing unforeseen happened the man was now out of danger, but he would be a take bail. considerable time recovering. Mr. Black said in su c h a case us the present, he would only ask his Worship to tak e the prisoner. Mr. Rattles said at present ht would bail. but would consider it hereafter.• He sent thcPrisoner for trial at the assizea, .... .. . A. SAVAGE. Patrick Barrett, a big,' ill-loklking - fellow . , PO,, , n ,-+ a er t w as charged with having bitten the ear off John Hannigan, m r. Block was 'for the prisoner. - The fac6 of the case 15;vr 4 6 q s follow :---An evening or two since the parties met at the o,or of complainant's house, when . he asked the prison er for 2s. that he owed him. The. latter denied owing the money, and so me angry words followed, and subsequently they struck e ach other and fell in the street. Whilst down, the prisoner caught the ear of his opponent in his mouth and bit it clean c c Survon Cavanagh proved that the mau was much injured, had lost his ear, and would be disfigured kr life. Mr. Black said he was instructed to call witnesses in the case for the prisoner, but he thought it better not to do so now. 1 The prisoner was sent for trial, THE ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY ATTENDANTS AT COLNEY HATCH ASYLUM. On Friday morning, at Bow-street, Mr. Henry resumed the investigation of the charge of manslaughter preferred at the instance or, the Commissionars of Lunacy against William Slitter and William Vivian, formerly attendants at Colney klatch. Mr. Sleigh again appeared as counsel far the prose cution, and Mr. Lewis for the defence. Upon the prisoners being placed in the dock, Mr. Sleigh observed that in accordance with the' magistrate's desire he proposed to close the case that day. He should call Mr. Brent to produce the deposi tions of the prisoner Vivian at the inquest, and then examine Gann. This, with a slight addition to the medical evidence, would complete the inquiry for the prosecution. Mr. George Smith, deputy-coroner for the county of Middlesex—On the 17th May, I held an inquest at the Colney-hatch Asylum, on the body of William Swift. At that inquiry the prisoner, William Vivian, was examined as a witness, on oath, and I now produce his deposition as taken down at that time. Mr. Lewis objected that deposition taken on oath at a preliminary inquiry could not be used at the trial of a person accused tf manslaughter or murder. Mr. Henry would leave the sett ement And question to a superior court. Mr. Lewis—Will you admit it now ? Mr. Henry —yes ; there are precedents both ways, and the judge is to debide which was to prevail. Mr. Brent then produced his notes taken at the inquest, with a transcript thereof. He was not bound to take depositions unless in cases where a verdict of murder or manslaughter was returned by the jmy, in which case the depasitions were read over to the wit nessea and signed by them, Some discussion arose as to whether the transcript should be attached to the present depositions; and it was nitimately.decided that the coroner should make a state ment of the proceedings before him, refreshing his memory by referring to the notes in question. He then repeated the following as the evidence of Vivian : I am an assistant in No. 11 ward. There were three assistants in No. 11 ward at the time of the death of William Swift. There were forty-three patients, some of them at times violeat. On Thursday, MaY 10th, at half-past one o'clock, deceased was much excited. On Saturday, May 12th, he said he had been working very hard all night. That was in his bedroom, which was a padded room. There are only two rooms in that ward which are padded. The deceased had not shown any violence while in that ward. On Saturday evening, about 6.30, he was seized with an epileptic At. I took bim to the padded room and remained with him till the fit w4s Q.Yer. I and my fellow-attendant, Slater, were with him. I left him alone for ten minutes to attend to other patients. I then went with another attendant to him, and he said he was better, I undres sed him and put him to bed. I had to attend to the other patients' suppers. I then took the deceased his supper, and found him in a very low state, I sent for Mr. Tyerman at twenty rainaes to eight o'clock. I remained with him till Mr. Tyerman came, which was three minutes afterwards. He was then dead. I know that he had a struggle in C ward, but did not knew that he had sustained any injuries. He had said nothing about any injuries. He was very talkative. He might have been out of sight of Iva attendant for a short time. He was not, BQ far as I know, the subject of any violence fr . otn another person while he was under my charge. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis : I took such portions only as, I thought fit, not the whole of the statements made by him. Other witnesses were eintnineci. Mr. Lewis- A:Ad the jtvy visit the wards before giving this verdict do not know, They left the room. The verdict was an open one. William Gann—l am one of the attendants at the Colney-hatch Asylum.. I attend in C ward. The deceased William Swift was in that ward from the Bth of March till Monday, 11th of May. On Wednesday evening, 9th May, Swift was in his bedroom, and in consequence of a noise there went •to the door. 1 unlocked the door, awl before I had time to speak to Swift be struck me in the e)4 and seized me by the necktie, saying, " I have got you now, you —." Find ing that I was nearly strangled, I called Frost, a patient, and desired him to go for assistance. I struck Swift in the pit of the stomach, and we fell to tin earth. I know nothing more after that till I was released by Reed, another attendant. When I came to myself Swift was in his bed. I used- no more violence than was necessary. To Mr.-Henry—l became insensible from strangula tion, I suppose. When I came to myself, I was bleed ing from the nose and mouth. To Mr. Sleigh—l did not fall von hint. This occurred in his bedroom, which is not a padded room. I did not mention that I had bled from the nose and the month. When I unlocked the door and let him out of his bedroom, about tPn minuted p9Rt aiy n'elook ;n (ho morning, he appeared as well as usual. He showed me a bruise on the pit of his stomach, which I reported. He only said, " Look at this bruise." *did not make any allusion to the struggle which took place the pre vius night. He used to sweep the ward out every morn ing. That morning he came and asked for his broom as usual. I thought it right not to give it to him. He was abellt the ward that morning as usual, and took his breakfast as WO. At one o'clock he sat down to his dinner, and enjoyed it as usual. There did not appear to be anything amiss with him. After dinner he was removed to No. 11 ward by order of Mr. Tanner, and handed him over to the attendants, Grover and Vivian& Cross-examined—He was very much excited on that occasion. He laboured under a delusion about seeing the Queen, and many other delusions, When he struck me he appeared to have no self-oontrol or knowledge. I have finind that after a fit of excitement some patients recollect, and some do not recollect, what has occurred during the paroxysm. Swift was a strong, powerful man, and it required great exertion to throw him down. Mr. Sleigh said Mr. Lewis was assuming that Gann had thrown him down, which was nut what the witness said. Gang--- 7 4 struck him and he fell. We both fell together. Mr. Lewis—Was it a violent blow ? Witness—l struck him as hard as I could, not neav the breast bone. I cannot say how violent it was,. Mr. Lewis—Had you your arms round bim • Witness—No ;he had hod my neck-tie. I can not tell whether he ;e.t go When we fell, as I then became insensible. I had not hold of his tie ; he had none on he was in his shirt. There are fifteen or sixteen wards in the asylum. Patients from other wards who are refractory are sent to No. 11 ward. I have never done any duty in that ward. Nast' examined before the coroner. I fell on my side. I might have said to the coroner that I did not know how I tell. When Swift came to the asylum in March there were traces of iikitwie.9 on the wrist. I have seen Swift sparring in the wards, and blowing in men's mouths. I cannot say whether he got blows og his ribs. I ouce saw him with a black eye ; that vas in March. Ile.used t o blow in men's mouths, saying it would cure them. It was a boarded floor where we fell. Charles Read—l am one of the attendants, and had charge of the C Ward. I remember on the evening of the 9th of May being called to the assistance of the last witness by one of the patients. I went to Swift's room, and on entering I found Gann lying on the-floor. Swift had got Gann fixed by the neck. I took hold of his hand and asked him to leave go. He did so directly. I told him to get into bed, and he did so directly. I and Gann came out of the room together. I looked the door on him (Swift). Gann was Weeding at the mouth and nose. Swift did not appear as if he had suffered any injury. He was a little excited. I visited him again the same night, about ten minutes to eight, nearly an hour after we left him. He appeared to be in a very good state, and spoke very cheerfully. I could not see that he was at all excited then. He did not appear to be suffering from any excitement, nor did he complain of any injury. I saw him next day. He appeared to me in his usual health and spirits. To Mr. Henry—When I went into the room Swift was rising ou his knees, and still holding Gann by the necktie. Gann was down, and he was holding him down. Cross-examined—l have been two years in the asylum. I have seen lunatics mach ill-treated by the lunatics. Mr. I.4ewis—dlave those who were injured complained of pain Witness—Yes, they have. I have known Swift to be violent very often. He never said anything to me about the bruises. He was not my patient. To Mr. Henry—There was Flo bedstead in the room. He slept on a mattress on the floor. There were no tables or chairs—nothing but a mattseeg en the floor. Thomas John Ford—l auk one of the head attendants on the male si,dc, of the asylum at Colney-hatch. On Saturday, the day on which Swift died, I saw him be tween foal. and Ave o'clock, to the best of my recollec tion. The ward No. 11 is not under my charge ; but I visited it in the absance of my colleague, who had gone out. He appeared to be in his ordinary health and spirits. I know the padded-room ; in that room there is no bedstead, chair, or other furniture, except the pro jecting fixture which supports the night pan. That is padded lik e th e res t o f th e room.

Mr. Sleigh—l 4v,e now, sjr, completed the evidence regercli Vitt fa'ete, aua gout to call several medical .b • gentlemen of eminence, to whom I shall lave to put several questions as to the cause of death. I apprehend that the most convenient course will be to read over to those gentlemen the evidence of the medical men who have already been examined, and then to ask them, after hearing that evidence, what is their opinion as to the cause of death. Mr. Henry—l think, Mr. Sleigh, we must have the whole of the depositions read over, as the medical gentlemen must judge from the whole of the circum stances, taken in connection with each other. The depositions were accordingly read over by Mr. Barnaby. Mr. James Luke, 37, Broad-street-buildings, City—l am vice-president of the Royal College of Surgeons, senior surgeon of London Hospital, and 'also surgeon to St. Luke's Hospital for Lunatics. I have had consider able experience as a surgeon, and with respect to the treatment of lunatics. I see all the patients as admitted at St. Luke's. I have heard the medical and other evidence in this case. I have heard described the appearances upon the post mortem examination of the deceased. In my opinion, he died from the effects of the injuries generally, as described in the account of the post marten: examination. From that description I think those injuries were inflicted all at one time, with the exception of the- external mark on the abdomen. The internal injuries, I should think, were all inflicted at one time. I should think that death followed speedily-on those injuries. - Mr. Sleigh: In your opinion, could a person, having . received , these injuries, walk about in apparent health, and his constitution exhibit no derangement, and the pulse give no indication of it ? Witness : Mr. Sleigh : In your opinion, and according to your judgment, is that impossible? Witiess : It is. • - Mr. Sleigh : Do you think, supposing the person who suffered these injuries - to be in a state of insanity, would that make any material difference ? • Witness I think not any material difference. Mr. Sleigh : Might those injuries be produced by • external pressure, without n e c e ssarily producing any external marks of violence ? Witness: It might be so. - _ _ Mr. Henry : You ought to ask if he thinks it could have incurred on the Wednesday. Mr. Sleigh In,your judgment 7 could.the injury have been inflicted on the Wednesday preceding his death on the Saturday? Witness—No. I think not. My reason is, because there is no statement of inflammation having occurred in the medical evidence relating to the post mortein examination, which I should have expected had the injury been inflicted on the Wednesday, as suggested. Mr. Sleigh—Had there been an inflammation, would the pulse have indicated it ? Witness—lt probably would. Mr. Sleigh —And the respiration would have been seeded? . . Witness—There would have been extreme difficulty of breathing; that is, if the patient could have survived. Mr. Lewis—ls it simply because there was no inflam mation, that you think it could not have occurred on Wednesday ? Witness—Not simply or solely for that reason. That is one of ,my reasons. I think a person might have eleven ribs and the breast-bone broken without any I external ecchymosis or discoloration. Mr. Lewis—lf they had received the injuries from kicks or bloWs ? • Witnesi—Yes ; if his clothes were on. M r . Lewis—From blows of the fist? Witness--I don't think it possible that blows with the fist oould have.done all this mischief. I differ from the other medical witnesses in saying that these injuries could not have been inflicted without producing eechy mosis oi• external discoloration. I also differ from them in saying that the injuries might have been inflicted on the Wednesday. A man with one or two ribs broken might go oho* without exhibiting much inconvenience, but notwithent some. His being a lunatic would make na material difference in that respect. If Mr. Tucker says it would, I differ from him. There are cases of lunatics having injured themselves, and made no com plaint. No doubt there are occasional instances of insensibility to pain, but in such cases there are other symptoms. My impression is, that the fractured ribs would have caused death immediately. He could not have lived without distressing symptoms, which could not be masked. . Mr. Richard Partridge, New-street, Spring-gardens— I am one of the surgeons at King's College, and pro fessor of anatomy. I am one of the council of the Royal College of Surgeons. I have heard the description of the injuries inflicted on the deceased as they appeared at the post mortem examination, and also the evidence as to what occurred on the Saturday and the previous Wednesday. lam of opinion that those injuries pro duced death speedily after. their infliction. In my judgment, from - experience, it is imposSible that those injuries could have been inflicted on the Wednesday, and have been in the state described 'on Saturday. I uut:gu nu tha gm to say that he might not have lived till the Saturday. In my opinion the respiration of the deceased, as well as his pulse, would have been affected by the injuries to the chest. I give that opini on w ith reference to the man being of unsound mind. I do not consider it makes any material difference in this respect. I know, of own knowledge, that precisely the injuries described may be produced without the slightest external mark. Mr. Lewis—A man could not have received that amount of fracture of the ribs on the Wednesday without showing signs of it until eaturday. Re-examined—=l have no doubt that all those internal injuries, the fracture of the sternum and ribs, and the rapture of the liver, were caused at one time. All might have been produced by the forcible leaning of a man on the body of deceased, ,To Mr. Lewis—lf a man fell from a height it might produce those injuries ; but if he were in a room and fell forward in a fit, certainly not. 'Mr. Sleigh —That, sir, is the evidence on which I ask_you_to_commit the prisoners for trial for man slaughter. I.fr.• Lewis then addressed the. magistrate for the defence. He contended that the evidence of Clark and Varney was wholly unsupported: He acknowledged that they 144 given. their evidence in,a manner which certginly produced the impression that they were speak ing the trtith, but then it was well known that lunatics . bad great 'power of simulation, and would often stand long cross-examinations by learned counsel without ex hibiting any signs of their insanity. The second assault reated wholly on the evidence of Clark, as Varney spoke only as to the assault on Friday. Having every oppor tunity, Swift never complained of that assault. Mr, Tyernian had declared that he would not place any, reliance on Clark's evidence, if unsupported. Mr. Henry—lt is most materially supported by the medical evidence which has been given to-day. /dr, Lewis contended that the confirmation only went to the fact of the-injuriei being inflicted, and not to the material fact of the prisoners being the persons wbo did it. Mr. Lewis also pointed out the discrepancy in the medical evidence. He supposed that the gentlemen who attended to-day were called because the prosecution were. not satisfied with the opinions of Mr. Tyerman and Dr. Turner. kr. Henry—Neither of whom pretended to have much experience in these matters. They candidly said they, had not. Mr. Lewis, after commenting on some other points in the evidence, concluded by again asking the magis trate tiet - ,.v§ oommit on the unsupported testimony of twq Mr. Henry—l again say that Ido not consider it to be unsupported. It is materially confirmed by the medical testimony. I will not make any comments, as I do not wish to indicate any opinion as to their guilt or innocence. I shall only say that this is a case which , must go before a jury. Mr. Lewis—l understood that you would take bail, sir ? Mr. Henry _ —Yes. The evideneo-4,0f eo peculiar a nature that I will accept bail, iu two sureties each of £5O, and their ctva, recognisances of .410 Q each. 'lnspector Mckenzie, who was bound over to prose cAte, stated that he apprehended the; prisoners on a warrant. He found Vivian concealed in a water-eloset at his lodgings.

The following letter appeared in the London Times of Saturday I,a,st, respecting the Defence Committee's report on the Whitworth Guns I TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. SlR,—Having seen a - -.paragraph .iesiecting the 'Ordnance Committee report on the Whitworth Guns, copied from the Post, into, the Times, I thought it advisable to procure evidence of its untruth. I hoped that was manifest on the face of the statement, the avowed hostility of the paper being takeu into consi deration.. To-day I had an interview with Colonel St. George. He assured me the statem en t i n quest i on wa s " wholly uotrue, and a fabrication from beginning to end, without any foundation even." —I remain, sir, yours Ver y o b e di ently, T. ASTON . 4, Elm -court, Temple, Aug. O. The Morning Herald also says,—Upon authority which Cannot be impugned, we are able to contradict the statement which appeared in a contemporary, and has been copied into several , other journals, that the Ordnance select committee had made a report regarding the 'Whitworth guns at Southport, and that the report was - condemnatory. The subject, we are informed, was neVer before the committee, and there is, in fact, n o foundation for, the statement. lAE IF , LEs .—During the last fortnight there bar been more than 200,000 pine apples sold ill.

OXFORD t Saturday Afternoon. Considerable excitement has been Caused by the arrival at the London and North Western Railway Station here this morning of a man in the custody of Sergt. Boyle and another officer of the Bucks constabulary, who states he is the assassin of the child who was found so cruelly murdered at` Road; near Prome. It appears that the prisoner, who is a railway navvy, went to the Wolverton Station, and gave 'himself up to the police, alleging that he committed the murder at Road. He stated that his Christian tuunes were Edward John, but withheld his surname ; that he has been . living at Pimlico, London ; that he went to the locality of the murder in search of work ; and that a man and woman came to him and asked him if lie would undertake to get off the child, and promised him a handsome sum of money if he-would do so. lie states that he undertook the job, and murdered_ the child, and it was agreed to bury the body under a hedge in the garert, but subsequently it was decided to put- the body in the privy, where it was found. He farther added, that he knew the man who had come to him about the child, and that they knewint — ii, - ‘ll/ en - he got to Bath he would give them further particulars. He de clined to give his own name or the names o# tho other parties until he got to Bath, and they were before him. He complained'that he had been treated very badly, the parties who employed him not having given him any. thing like what they promised him. The prisoner having been taken into custody on his own confession, was brought before the Rev Mr. Barton, at Stoney Strat ford; IVlietl - e lie made iiiittilar statement, and was con sequently removed to Oxford this morning. He was tam - from the - No - rth - Western to the 'Great Western station, and left Oxford for Trowbridge by the 11.35 train. During his short stay at the station he entered into conversation -with parties on gene r al s ubj e ct s , but declined to - enlighten them any further on the murder until the proper time. He appeared to be about thirty years of age, with a sullen cast of countenance, but - was perfectly cool and collected, and steadfastly adherfid to every statement he made. Sergeant-- RI - the Oxford City Police, was in attendance at the station with his brother officers, and from we learn that the prisoner has the appearance of perfect sanity, having conversed with him in a sensible and rational manner.. The affair has created considerable interest at Oxford, and further particulars are anxiously looked for.
