INAT:OVILkTION OF B.A.NBURY CROSS.—The Banbury
people have set up a new cross, and last week the
Foresters' Court of the district rode in grand parade to
inaugurate it. Everybody has heard the famed nursery
rhyme, "Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross," and on
Tuesday the legend commemorated by that old ditty
was realised. A lady did ride a white horse to the
Cross, and an address suitable to the occasion was duly
delivered by one of her attendant Foresters. Of the
lady, we can only say that she looked very picturesque,
and " had rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,"
and formed a sufficiently striking portion of the caval-
cade which included amongst its elements the not less
striking figures of Robin Rood, Friar Tuck, and the
other characters with w-hich modern poetry still keeps
alive the memory of the olden times of merrie Sherwood.
Old English sports in the field closed the festival.—

The Marquis of NORMANEY referred to the Contradictions
with which his statements respecting the atrocities committed
at Florence during the administration of the provisional com-
mittee had been inethy Lord Broughtin. He explained the
source where.he obtained his information, and observed
,that
his ac3ount had since received full confirmation from a liberal
paper issued since the provisional co►rzmittee ceased to exist,
and whose averment's. were not disputed by the. Liberal chief,
though they had endeavoured to put an end to the p aper He
r?gretted to perceive, as events. went on, that hisovvat predic-
tions were being verified, and that the movement in Italy
would rebound only to the advantage of the Mazzini faction.
Lord Bitot7GßAst believed • that his own information on the
tubject was quite its authentic as that of the noble Martinis.
He denied that any atrocities, such as had bean described,
were ever sanctioned by the Provisional CoMmittee in Florence.

made, and severe measures taken, by General Garibaldi to' re-

THE CHANIF'ION RIFLE SHOT OF
ENGLAND.

Mr. Edward Rosi, of the 7th North York, the win-
her of the Queen's prize, is the son of a worthy Scottish
lire. Mr. Horatio Ross, of Netherby, c,tptain of one of
the Kincardineshire Volunteer Con'ipanies, who bore-off
some of the chief honoats at It ythe the other day.
Captain Ross is an old deer-stalker, and his , son,
Mr. 'Edward Ross, whO is settled in Yorkshire, . has
also had much experience in "chasing the wild deer."
An interesting story is told of 'the relative merits and
chances of the father and son. It is as, follows :
" A joke is current concerning a SCettish volunteer
Captain Horatio Ross, of the Kincardineshire Volun-
teers, who is ktown to be one of the best shots north of
the Tweeds The gallant captain gave notice to his
friends in Kincardineshire, that on a certain. day named
he amid make solemn trial, at various '-distances, of the
respective merits of the Lancaster. and Whitworth
rifles, with the view of adopting the best at Wimbledon.
The local gentry assembled, and the reporters of
the local papers gave a faithful account_ of the
proceedings. With the Lancaster rite the captain
made first-rate shooting at the longest ranges,
so that the astonishmeit ; of, the spectators-.; was
excited. With the Whitworth, such was the stripping
and the windage, the captain could do nething. So he
pionseanded.ex cqthecl)-(2 that the Whitworth was greatly
inferior to the Lancaster. and &dared that after these
vxperinsenta .be . should adopt-,-the_ latter at the great ..
natimtal centest. The gallant captain, on coming to
Liiidon and explaining what had happened,, was told
thaehe might have been shooting with the Whitworth
rifle, , but. that he had certainly not been shopting
with the TiThitworth bullet, but with something
that neither. in material nor in shape was a -Whit-
worth bullet. He was thus made. to
_see that,. for, the
stripping and windage that occurred, the Whitworth
rifle, was by no means responsible. noweier, the
captain had pledged himself to use' the Lancaster in the
face.of that assembly of his-friends and admirers,, and be
behaveed like a man at his word.. His, son, on the other
hand, 'fired with a Whitworth. The result was that the
father, the crack shot of geotland, was Completely dis-
tanced by his son, and Could score little or nothing,
while Mr. Ross,-jun., won the prize of all comers at 300
yards." Mr.
.Edward Ross has also won a tigo. prize
for "all comets," at 2.00 yards, and a £35 prize at 300
yardi.

Letters from Switzerland state that the reports of
numerous desertions among the Swiss in the Papal ser-
vice arc., fully confirmed. Thirty deserters have recently
arrived in the canton of Ticino.
On Siiturday, in the Court of Queen's Bench, a
musical critic for the Daily Telegraph obtained a ver-
dict, with £4O damages, against Mr. Levi, the proprietor.
of that parer, for wrongful dismissal, and without notice
"S.G.O."—Sidney Godolphin-Osborne, the benefit so-
ciety and charitable association reformer, has come into a
serious eollision with Lord Shaftesbury. The noble lord
defended himself against a previous attack under the form.
of signature usual to aristocratic personages, and
S. G. Osborne very cooly treats the signature like that
of a sporting contributor, and says :—" I did not regard
' Shaftesbury' as a rogue, I look at him in the light of a
dupe-1-a victim to a long-indulged habit of patronising."
S. G. Osborne, notwithstanding " Shaftesbury's " pro-
test, adheres to his desire that the noble and right
reverend patrons of defaulting benevolent societies
should be indicted.

RACE-HORSES.—Lord Redesdale's "light weight" bill
which met with such a premature fate in the House of
Lords, has had some effect in determining the " action "
of the Jockey Club. At a very numerously attended
meeting of the club, held.last week, it was resolved that
after the Ist of September, 1860, no horse shall carry
less than sst. 71b., for any race ; and any violation of
this rule will be punished by the exclusion of th,,
offending horse from Newmarket as well as those
meetings which are regulated by the Newmarket laws.
The' weights for the Derby, the Leger, the Two Thou-
sand Guineas, were fixed for colts Bst. 101 b., and fillies
Bst. 51b. The fillies in the Oaks and One Thousand
Guineas will carry Sst. 51b.

MARRIED For. MONEY. - The Divorce Court on
Saturday decreed a judicial separation, on the petition of
Mis. Mary Barrett Reynolds, against Mr. W. H. Rey-
nolds, for desertion. The petitioner, whose maiden
name was Fletcher, was married to Mr. Reynolds
on the 6th of March, 1852, at St. James's, West-
minster. Mrs. Reynolds was possessed of a for-
tune of £ll,OOO, Mr. Reynolds being. without any
money. A settlement was executed, by which she
reserved one-half of her fortune for her own use,
giving the other half to her husband. There were
no children of the marriage, which did not turn out
a happy one. They went to reside in Golden-square,
at Brighton, Hastings, Bath, Cheltenham, and other
places. Mr. Reynolds was frequently absent from
his wife under the pretence of business in Ireland. The
cohabitation did not extend over more than eleven
months, as on the 20th of May, 1853, Mr. Reynolds
deserted her. On the 18th Mrs. Reynolds came to
London from Cheltenham with her husband, and put
up at the Portland Hotel, Great Portland-street, and on
the same day they went to see her brother, Mr. Fletcher,
of Southampton-terrace, Kensington. On the 19th Mr.
Reynolds took his wife in a cab to her brother's, and there
left her, promising if he did not come to dinner he would
fetch her in the evening. The parted friendly, but the
petitioner admitted that there had been frequent
quarrels, and that she had been violent at times and
used violent language, and had gone down on her knees
and asked for forgiveness. Evening came, but, Mr.
Reynolds not appearing at half-past twelve, the peti-
tioner went with her brother to the Portland Hotel, but
could learn nothing of her husband, upon which she re-
turned with her brother and slept at his house. The
following morning Mr. Fletcher went to the Portland
Hotel, and there he learned that Mr. Reynolds had left
the hotel, having paid the bill of another lady lodging
in the hotel, and they went away together. The fol-
lowing day, the 22nd, the petitioner received a letter
from her husband containing an order for the delivery of
a pianoforte. From that period the petitioner heard
nothing of him until about 12 or 18 months ago. The
petitioner had resided with her brother.

htkitiaTs Commrrtz.—The weekly meeting of this
committee was held yesterday morning, in the Council
Chamber of the Town-hall. Mr. Houghton presided ;
Messrs. Haydock, Kitchen, Barton, and Nickson being
also present. The superintendent of the markets re-
ported that during the past week there had been seised
in the central district 1,887 lbs. of &eat ; in the north
district 1,365 lbs. or mot In the south district 156 lbs.
of meat; and in the borough 74 lbs. of fish. The mai-.
kets were working satisfactorily, and the conduct of the
men was good with the eiception of John Kitchen, an
inspector of St. John'intarketi who had absented him-
self froth daty. The accounts showed that the receipth
for last year amounted to £11,375 Bs. 7d., and this year
£12,201 35., an increase of £BOO. The superintendent
said-there was alittle falling off in St. John's market in
consequence of the lateness of the produce ; potatoes
were a fortnight later, and the fruit also, fiel English
trult--rhaiing been offered before Saturday last. - Mr.'
Houghton, ieferring to the report in yesterday's papers,
of liTailault aTiiiiig &Om a dispute between two of the
volunteers drilling in Gill-street market, said that if
such proceedings were-to be continued it -seas high time
to deprive them of tho market altogether. The superin-
tendent said he understood the case before the magis-
trates arose from very old circumstances, which had been
investigated by the Lord Lieutenant. The Chairman
asked how the tenants appeared to like the closing of
the markets at ten o'clock on Saturday. The superin-
tendent replied that they went out as usual, sane of
them grumbling, but there was htt se ihech-diisatis-
factiO-eirpressed as previously. Mr. Shimmin corn-
plainid that a member of that committee had stated .
privately that the vacant shops in the market had
let, since the new regulations had been made, at
an increased' rental, and he said that thii was only
true with regard to two shops. He attributed the
reported increase in the income of St. John's market to
the neighbouring streets haying been disused as retail.
markets, parties who had previously stood in the streets'
being compelled to take stalls inside. Mr. Nickson said
the increase was considerably more than £lOO for the
last month. The Chairman said there was no farther
business, and the committee then adjourned.

LIVERPOOL POLiCE COURT.-YESTERDAY:

(Before Mr. RAFFLES.)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE!
John Simpson, a very able looking man, was brought tir by
police officer 631, on a charge of having assaulted him. Mr.
Bluck was for the prisoner, who had his head bandaged up,
and one of his eyes, in sporting phrase, was quite bunged up.
The officer said, at a quarter past three on Sunday morning,
he was on duty in Limekiln-lane, when he saw the. prisoner,
with two others, standing at a door. He asked them what
they were doing there, when they muttered something', and
then he went on, when the prisoner followed, put his foot
before him, and gave him a hand behind, throwing him down,
and then kicking him. Mr. Block : What was he doing'
Nothing. Did Colt give him that black eye ? So. Did you
cut his head, and draw his blood plentifully! So. Who
injured him in this way? I don't know, I did not touch
him until after he threw me down. Mr. Bluck Oh,
then you did touch him? Yes, after he knocked Me
down, Will you swear that he had' that black eye
and cut head before you came up ? I 'sill net. Mr. Block : I
will prove you gave hint both injuries. Police officer, So. 1,
said he came alp when the prisoner and the other officer were
on the ground; he stooped, to lift them when the prisoner gave,
him a kick in the stomach and knocked the "win" out of him.
air. Black : And where do you come from I From Yorkshire,
How long are you on the force? Six weeks:, Mr. Bluck :
And you are No. 1? Yes, that's my number. Did you give the
prisoner that black eye No. Who did I don't know ; the
other officer did not strike him after I came up. Mr. Black
then in strong language censured the conduct of the police-
man, and contended that he had no right to interfere with the
prisoner, who was an honest industrious Man who paid rent
and taxes, and who bore as good a character as any man in
his position in England. It was quite light at the time,,and
the man had as good a right to be out on the street, if he
vriehed, as Prince Albert, so that the officer had no right
at all to interfere with him. If he were known to be a
thief, a pickpocket, or a burglar, it would be a different
thing. • The man had gone to bed early, and got up
early to go out and have a wa k• with his friends, and was
standing at his own door when the policeman. came up and
insultingly asked him what he was doing there ? The man
thus addressed replied, what's that to you ? when the police-
man seized him arid threw him down, giv:ng him a black eye
and cutting his head severely. He (Mr. B.) would move these
facts by three respectable persons, and would then ask for the
prisoner's discharge. He called a man and two women, who

ASSAULTING A. POLICENIAN.
William and Elizabeth Price, who reside in Roscoe-street,
were brought up by police-officer 184 on remand, charged for
having violently assaulted him. The details of this case have
appeared in the Daily Times a few days
ago The man struck
him with a candlestick, and the woman beat him with a poker.
Surgeon Lyster proved that the officer was much hart, but not
seriously. The prisoners were fined £3 each, or three months'
imprisonment. _

(Before Messrs. LAWRENCE and PREsrox.)
MARKET GAMBOLS.
Henry Grainger wa, summoned by Elizabeth Walsh for hav-
ing assaulted him. Mr. Bluck was for the complainant, and
Mr. Campbell for the defence. The parties seemed respect-
able. From the opening statement of Mr. Pluck, it appeared
that the parties kept stalls in St. James's Market, and that for
some time past the defendant's family were in the habit of
annoying the complainant's family. On the 30th of June the
defendant and complainant's husband were quarrelling, when
Mrs. Walsh went to the assistance of her husband, and, as she
alleged, the defendant struck her violently on the head, pulled
" fistfuls" of her hair out, and gave her a violent kick in the
side. The complainant and some witnesses were examined to
prove the case. Mr. Campbell cross-examined them, and after
addressing the bench he called several witnesses, who dis-
proved the complaint, and it was dismissed. Patrick Walsh,
the husband of the last complainant., then charged Robert
Galloway for committing an assault on him. This arose out
of the last-mentioned case ; and the assault having been
proved, the defendant was fined .ss. and costs. The next case
was a complaint preferred by Elizabeth Drury, the daughter
of the defendant in the first case, against Mrs. Walsh, for
having assaulted her. This case arose out of the same affair;
but as it appeared there was only threatening in the case, the
summons was dismissed. The last of the "market gambols,"
that came out of the "original stock," was a complaint by
Henrietta Galloway, against Patrick Walsh. The complainant
is the wife of the male of the same name, and the defendant
was the complainant against her husband. There was the
usual quantity of cross swearing is this case, which was
ultimately dismissed, and the market gambols were ended for
the present.
