bin* Mr. Morriah, re/maumit contractor at the Inter-
national Exhibition.

Police-constable Broderick, of the X division, said he
was on duty last night at the Western Annexe, when
he saw the prisoner leaving the building. Observing
that she was carrying something, he asked what she
had got there, when she replied, a bit of meat for her
supper. He then found about • pound of cooked meat in
bar bundle, and on her being searched, her pocket was dis-
covered full of lump sugar. and she had a towel belonging
to Mr. Norrialt round her body.
Mr. John Bertrn, manager to Mr. Morrish, said that
the prisoner, who was employed at the refreshment-moms,
was brought to his office last evening, when he deemed it
his duty to charge her, in consequence of the vast number
of persons in the same service.

Paynter—HowmaCymervants are employed there!
Mr. Bertram—Nearly eleven hundred, and if all were to
take things in this way when they left the building they
would soon produce a state of bankruptcy.
Mr. Paynter —I should think they would, indeed.
Prisoner—l took the sugar certainly, but I had the meat
for my supper, and the towel I merely put round me to
prevent my clothes wetting me.
Mr. Poynter—l shall commit you for one month to hard
labour in the House of Correction.

A "GARIBALDIAN" IN THE HATBAREET.
Jain Hurt, a respentablelooking young man, wee charged
before Mr. Knox with creating a disturbance in the Hay-
market, and causiog• large crowd to assemble.
From the evidence of Sergeant Jester, 4C, it appearedthat
*little after two o'clock this morning he air a large crowd in
St. Jamee's•merket, II ay mark et, and heard the calling
out " Hurrah for Garibaldi !up with Geri i ! down with
the Pope !" This was responded to by others in the crowd
with the 177 of " Hurrah for the Pope!" As the crowd
wan increasing in numbers, and fearing a collision, the pri-
soner having been drinking, he took him into custody,
having requested him to leave, but without swum
Pi isomer said he went into the Haymarket because it was
raining for the purpose of shelter.
Mr. Knox-- You go there fur shelter and then tell people
your sentiments. Have you any particular feeling with
Garibaldi?

Prisoner—Oh no, not at all.
Mr. Knox-1 will, young man, give you two pieces of
advice. Keep out of the Haymarket at two in the morn-
ing, for if you do not you will only find yourself among
thiovealand prostitute*, and other bad characters. The
second piece of advice is, not to trouble yourself about
Garibaldi or the Pope. You are discharged.

RTABBINCL-THL CNHAPPT COUTLE.
Charles Watlow. a herring merchant, agtd 29, of No. 40,
Old Graeellane, St. George-in•the-Esat, wee brought be-
fore Mr. Selfe, charged witg atabbing Esther Sutton, his con-
cubine, with a knife on the head.

The ;artist have been cohabiting together for several
years; but their union ham not been sanctified
y the church, and their connexion has been • very
unhappy one. Yesterday an acquaintance of the parties
came borne, after an Vitali:lee of live years ; and to celebrate
his return to England • good deal of whiskey was drunk,
and many became more or less inebriated over the
affair. The prisoner and the proem:lute-ix quarrelled
and fought, and she left the house and went
to that of a neighbour for protection. She returned
to her own dwelling at • late hour, and in the.
belief that her paramour was in bed and asleep, she was
creeping upstairs to her room, when she was met by the pri-
soner, who struck her on the hied with • knife, sal inflicted
a severe wound. She fell and lost a good deal of blood.
Her wound was dressed by Mr. Rose, surgeon, in High-
street, Shadwell.

For the defence it was proved that the complainant was
guilty of considerable violence, and struck Wallow on the
nose with ►poker. He bled for some time copiously. She
also kicked at him. When a polioe.constuble named Fry,
No. 4818, went to the prisoner's room to take him into
custody he found the door barricaded. He broke it
open and took the prisoner iota custody. There was a l►rge
pool of blood at the nod of the bed.

bl
The prisoner—That came from me. I lost • quart of
ood.

Benjamin Selby, a youth, said the complainant struck him
with the poker, and then heat hi, sister and his mother.
Mr. Self, said there was no doubt the complainant was
stabbed by her paramour, and there was also no question
that she had previously struck him on the nose with a
poker, and injured several other persons. This
was all the coneeTienoe of the immorality of the
parties, and their getting drank. It was a most disgraceful
affair. If the prisoner had not been previously assaulted
soil wonniled, he should most undoubtedly have sent him to
prison without the option of paying a floe. As it was he
should impasse fine of si. upon the prisoner, and in default
of payment one month's imprisonment.
The prisoner immediately paid the penalty.

WEVHILL (HANTS) GREAT SHEET FAIL—WET-
TEIBAY, OCTOBER 10.—This was the opening day of
this great fair, and which was limited to the sale of sheep,
and for many days large flocks have continued to arrive
from the chief alieep.brsedisit counties; but the greater
portion were front Sussex. The importance of this fair to
flock misters is considerable, and affords opportunity to
breeders to exchange and effect crones essential to sheep.
keeping. The engrossing topic of conversation was the
Prevailing epidemic among sheep (smallpox) in the western
counties, and it is satisfactory to state that reports are that
the disrobe a much slated, and in a few weeks it will be
entirely eradicated from sheep-Hocks. Proper measures
were bikes to prevent sheep infected being brought into
the vicinity of the fair, thereby precluding coutamination
to healthy locks. The fair was hugely attended by sheep-
dealers, breeders, mil farmers. A good demand for store
nod stock sheep exi.ted, and. although advanced prices
were asked. yet a quick sale was effected, and early in the
day nearly all the sheep and lambs were sold. The follow-
ing were the prices :—Stock sheep, !Southdown and half-
bred, ewes, young and of good breed, 28s. to 445. a bead,
sal choice ditto, 4es.; broken-mouthed ewes. 30s. to 3-Se.;

attention of breeders. and tope from eminent fiockmastees
sold at from 5 to 15 guineas, and top lambs, well brad, suit-
able for the next erasion, 4to H goiseas each. It is roughly
estimated that but little over 200,000 sheep and lambs were
hurdled up ; Nome few droves came as unsold sheep from
netgliliouring fair*, and the aggregate amount of sheep was
nearly one-third leas than preceding averages, The fair
to-day was for the exclusive subs of sheep sod lambs, std
tomorrow it will resume for horse, and horned cattle, and
on Monday the celelinited hop and cheese fair will rono
meore, and continue the three following days. The exten-
sive tier of hop bares and factors' offices are under pre-
paration for the reeptioe of bora and cheese. A con-
ridensble quantity of hops are on transit by road and rail.

• REPR PHILNTATION or EAST KENT.—The retire- I
ment of Mr. Deedes proves to be perfectly correct, and the
fact that Sir Norton J. Knatchbull will fight the conser-
vative battle—if fight there he—with Sir B. Bridges against
all corners is almost equally certain. Mr. Deedes has been
for many years • very valuable county member, and his loss
will he much regretted.—Samez /express.
MAJOR LOND LET AND THE FEDERAL COLONEL
AT BAimmeitre—Commentiog upon the account which
Major Loogley, of the Royal Engineers, give. of a very
unpleamot reneootre between himself and a Federal colonel
at • railway station near Baltimore, the Army and Nary .
Cla:rite observes Major Lonnie] may have been per- •
fectly justified and perfectly free from any thought of
giving offence when he first made his remark oa the
physical merits of the Confederate prisoners—although.
wider certain circunistances, even such a remark might
have savoured of insult—hut when, from the coarse way i
io which it was received, he gathered that any further
adherence to it would have been turned into a cause
of personal quarrel, it would hare been more prudent for
him to remain silent, unless, indeed, he had meantime
made no his mind to resent whatever insult he might receive
after the fashion which American custom, as well as Ameri-
can military. law, approves. Again, Major Linsley wan
not happy in demanding military satisfaction from the
United Statee•General Commanding. Lieutenant Colonel
Many does not appear to have inflicted the insult and
violence complained of while in the discharge of his duty,
and Major Loogley bad no military status in America to
justify him in seeking the arbitration of a military tribunal.
We are inclined to think that the opinion of the gentlemen
soldiers of this isountry will substantially coincide with the
decision of General Wool, namely, that Major Longley and
Colonel Many were both in the wren``, and that the remedy
of the former lay out of his ',,
