a course that can only give rise to endless
disputes. There is no reason to suppose that the
householders of King's-cross, or Bethnal-green, or
Covent-garden like to hear preachers declaiming
under their windows on a Sunday afternoon more
than those of Carlton-house-terrace ; and if the
complaints of one class are listened to those of
others must be. The permission or disallowance
should be subject to a universal rule, and not de-
pend on the caprice of anyone. It will never do
to lay down that the poor are to be given up to
the zeal of missionary preachers, while the luxu-
rious sinners are to be protected from their
aggression.

WORCESTER, TOISDLY.
It is in the implement department that the pre-
sent show is strongest. In this respect the Wor-
cester exhibition beats all its predecessors. There
are no fewer than 300 exhibitors in this depart-
ment. At Leeds there were only 204. The mere
enumeration of the 5,839 articles "on show "
swells into a bulky volume of nearly 500 Imps.
The machines in motion remind one of the similar
departments in the Great Exhibition, except that
in the present instance the machinery has ampler
verge. Hence in the "Trial-yard" ponderous
steam-engines, some by themselves, and others with
caudal-like appendages, reminding one of the great
sea serpent, or that other " serpent" described by
Milton as floating " many a rood" behind, may
be seen moving about in all directions. It
would set a well-trained horse and cart to
turn in the space in which one of these
monster engines will do it. To such perfection
have these machines been brought, that the epithet
of Eschylus, "the iron-minded," would seem to be
quite an appropriate description of them. The
variety of smaller implements carried down with
the intention of saving human labour in the minu-
test departments of life is surprising, and the
ingenuity of mind in adapting contrivances for this
purpose is perfectly wonderful. But what if all
this labour was yam ; for is it not said by the
greatest living economist of England (Mr. J. S.
Mill) that it is doubtful if all the machinery that
has ever been invented has abridged by a single
hour the daily toil of a human being 1 Here is some-
thing for the 300 implement exhibitors to meditate
on and think about when they have made their
fortunes.

DESPATCH OF THE AMERICAN MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 22.

The North German Lloyd's steamship America,
sailing hence to-day with the United States mails,
takes out 69 saloon and a limited number of steer-
age passengers, also a fair cargo, including a large
quantity of tea from London, and 45,036 francs
value in jewellery from Havre. Amongst the
America's passengers are the Hon. B. Wood, of
New York; Mr. T. Canisius, United States consul
at Vienna; W. H. W. Derby, United States consul
at Dusseldorf; and Dr. Leyman, of Pittsburg.
The Compagnie Generale Transatlantique have
established an agency at this port, under the direc-
tion of Messrs. Keller, Wallis, and Postlethwaite,
for their steamers from St. Nazaire to Mexico,
ithe West Indies, &c.

Among the instruments classified, we find that in
barley hummellers (one of the prize implements
this year) there are eight exhibitors, including Bar-
rett and Exall, Barnard, Couch, Tacker, and Boby.
Cake breakers—twenty-eight exhibitors, with Ben-
tall, Carson, Turner, and several local firms among
them. Carta and waggons are represented by
38 exhibitors. Chaff-cutters occupy a portion
of the stands of 60 exhibitors. Steam ploughs
have but the limited number of seven exhibitors,
but then these machines are yet in their infancy.
Taking another class, not yet very old, we
find that threshing machines are shown by
Beata, Barrett, Clayton, Hornsby, Robey,
Goucher, and some seven-and-thirty other
makers. Passing on to a still older implement,
the plough, we have a list of forty exhibitors, in-
cluding such well known firms as llornsby,Howard,
Ball, Armstrong, Hancock, and Hunt.
The great firms are, as a matter of course, ade-
quately represented by general collections of im-
' plements, and the specialties for which they are
famous. Hornsby, neutral, Croskill, Howard,
Burgess, and Key, Turner, Fowler, and Priest, and
Woolnough, are names which carry with them all
the description of a general character that is re-
quired. Widely known, but not less noticeable in
their way, are the stands of Cottam and Co., with
their princely sets of horse boxes, stalls, harness
rooms, and stable fixtures ; McNeile's roofing, with
&fat simile of that which covered the treasures of
the International Exhibition ; Brown and Co's art
manufactures.

But the agricultural show is not the only attrac-
tion here, although it is the principal one. There
are subsidiary elements which aeserve notice ; any
first with regard to the dog show, which is held
close to the Agricultural Exhibition. The entries
are numerous, and the dogs shown in all the classes
good—in some above the average. In the first
division, set apart for sporting dogs, there are 276
entries. Of foxhounds there are six shown, mostly
by Colonel Clowes and Lord Fitzhardinge. The
harriers number four, and of beagles there are
only two. There are 32 greyhounds, dogs and
bitches, and between 70 and 80 pointers, the
classes for the latter being amongst the best in
the show. The entries in the setter classes are also, as
a whole, good. There are 2-2 English setters 18
black and tan setters, and 7 Irish setters. The
bloodhounds are but poorly represented in numbers,
though there are some very good specimens, con-
sidering the number (6) shown. There are 10 deer
hounds, mostly good, and 30 retrievers, to which
the same remark, somewhat strengthened, may be
applied. 13 specimens represent those wily old
cover hunters, the Clumber spaniels ; and 28 other
spaniels used for sporting purposes make up class 26.
There is a new class here for fox terriers—these dogs
formerly went amongst the white and English ter-
riers—and it is pretty well filled, there being 17
entries. In the foreign sporting dog class there are but
5 entries, and none of any surpassing merit. In the
second division, for dogs not used in field sports,
there are 167 entries. The mastiffs fill 5 stalls ; the
Newfoundlands, 7 ; the Dalmatians, 8 ; bull dogs,
14 ; amongst the exhibitors being Mr. Rinks and
Mr. Lamphier, of Birmingham ; sheep dogs, 13 ;
black and tan tethers, 18 ; white and other Eng-
lish terriers, 37 ; Skye and Dandle Diumont ter-
riers, 11 ; pugs, 1 ; Italian greyhound, 1 ; King
Charles spaniels, 6 ; toy terriers, 7 ; any other
distinct branch of English or foreign dog not usod
in field sports, 16 ; and extra class for any other
English or foreign dogs of a similar character, 14.
The show, therefore, is a very large one. It had
many visitors when thrown open this morning.
—••- ' • •

Then adjoining the dog show there is a poultry
show. This was opened yesterday. There are in
all 223 entries, and the sevcral classes of birds are
well represented. Next comes a flower show, which
is hell in the Worcester Pleasure Grounds, the
proceeds of which are intended for the construction
of a church. Nor is Worcester altogether without
some of what were once London attractions—
Frith's " Derby Day," some of the troupe of the
Alhambra, the gorilla—all of which have had their
favourite classes of visitors. As lam sending off
this despatch (six o'clock) there is the greatest
pressure, as I anticipated, at the railway station.
There arc thousands on each side of the platform,
and the general cry is where is the train for London,
for Oxford, for Cheltenham, for Bristol, for Mal-
vern. Everybody seems to be off at once, and no
one seems well aware in what direction he should go.

IN BC THE BOOTHAMPTON BOOT COMPA/IT (LIBITID).
His Honour gave judgment this morning on the case of a
contributory named Bird, who was sought to be placed on the
list by the agents of the official liquidator. He said the com-
pany had been incorporated in 18E0 under the act of 1855, with
a nominal capital of 15,0001. The winding-up order was
made in November last. Notices had been given for settling
the list of contributories, and the sitting for that purpose
took place. Mr. Bird, said to be a holder of 87 share', denied
his liability for more than 37 paid•up shares; the remaining
50, he said, were taken on behalf of a Mr. Ward, of the lds
of Wight, for whom he was acting. As Bird had never
testified his acceptance of the 50 shares in writing, the
court did not think him liable for those shares, but he would
be placed on the list for the 37 shame.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

LAMBETH.
FIGHTING FOR MONET.

William Stephens, a young fellow of gipsy appearance,
who had been a cabman, but who had lost hisp=rt;
consequence of misconduct, was brought up on a warrant,
and charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with intending
to fight for mooey on Sunday morning last, with a young
man named William Bailey.
Sergeant Bell, of the P division, said that in oonseptence
of information he received on Saturday night that there was
to be a prize fight near Baptised, on the Sunday morning he
was on the look out, and at half-past 3 o'clock he met the
young man Bailey, accompanied by ten or twelve men, in
Hill-street, Peckham. One of the men WA arrying a
bottle filled with water, and others carried beer, and Bailey
did not deny that he was going on the Rye to fight the present
prisoner Stephens for two pounds, and under the circum-
stances he felt it to be his duty to take Bailey into custody.
At that time, as he understood, there were as many as '4O
persons waiting to see the fight, but hearing that Bailey
was io custody they dispersed. In condo/Mb, the witness
said tbat there was scarcely a Sunday morning that prize
fights had not been arranged to come off on the Rye, sod
the scenes were of a disgraceful description.
The prisoner Bailey, when brought to this court on
Monday morning, acknowledged that he was on his way to
fight Stephens when be was apprehended by Sergeant
He was ordered to God bail, and a warrant was granted for
the apprehension of Stephens, and on that warrant be was
apprehended.
The prisoner admitted the truth of the sergeant's state-
ment, and, as in the case of Bailey, was ordered to find bail.

FIUME OF MANMLAUGIITEIL_.

William Crawley, St, a olos-nsaker, residing in Joiner-
street, Westminster.road, was brought before Mr. Bonham
by Sergeant Toone, of the A division, charged with causing
the death of Thomas Corbett, on Sunday morning last, in
Mint-street, Borough.
Mary Corbett, a middle-aged woman, said that the de-
ceased, Thomas Corbett, was her husband, and they had
for some time lodged in the Mint. Her husband was a
grioder, and, unfortunately for her, in the habit of drink-
ing to excess. Os Saturday night last be went out to a
wake but did not return home until an early hour on
Sunday morning, when be commenced quarrelling
with her and beating her. She rushed out of the
house for protection, fearing that in his frenzy he might kill
her. He followed her into the street, and caught hold of
her and knocked her down. The prisoic,r at that time was
pawing, and he called out to her husband, "You shan't
beat a woman in that manner." Deceased left her and
went to him, end when she got up she saw them struggling
together, and they both fell on the ground.

THE MALT TAI. —The select committee of the
House of Commons appointed to consider whether, compa-
tibly with the interests of the revenue, the laws relating ta
the excise duty upon malt can be amended so as to operate
more advantageously with reference to the taffies-
ton sod price of barley, to the manufacture and
Price of malt and malt liquor, and to the use of malt in
the feeding of cattle and sheep, have wondered the
matters to them referred, and have agreed to the
following report :—" Your committee hiving met, and
finding that, from the advanced period of the session,
it was not desirable to receive evidence upon the
matter referred to them, have token measures to collect
such information thereon as may be useful hereafter ; and
they recommend that a committee on the same subject
should be appointed in the next session of parliament."
The measures referred to comist of letters which are to be
addressed by the chairman to the president of the Royal
Agrieultmel Society, the president of the Highland Agricul-
tural Soellky, the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, the
Central Farmers' Club, and the Bath West of England
Society, aaking them for information as to the relative value
of barley and malt for fattening purposes, and in the pro-
duction of milk ; and the comparative value of each of those
articles with other feeding substances.
THE KITCHEN AND REFRESHMENT ROOMS or
THE House or COMMONE—The select committee have just
agreed to • fourth report, in which they say they have
agreed that the wines and spirits shall be provided by wine
merchants approved of by the committee, and ia compen-
sation for the consequent ices to the keeper of the refresh-
ment rooms, they have applied for an increased allowance
from the commissioners of the fee fund. To facilitate and
improve the attendance they propose to increase the
width of the room, and recommend that smaller
dining-tables should be introduced into the room.
With respect to the future management of the rooms, it is
proposed that the following charge for dinners shall be
charged next session :—Cold meat, including table,
he., Is. 6d. each ; and hot meats, including table, tec.,
3e- each. For dinners with fish, entree', ha, a written
notice of at least half an hour mast be given, the price for
which will be regulates! by a printed tariff. This, they
hope, will obviate the confusion and discontent which the
present system necessarily involves. Mr. Barry states
that the proposed alterations in the rooms can be completed
before February next, provided that the necessary orders
are given at ono.
