MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(TIUS DAY.)

Were Mr. Serjeant Cox.)
WROLXPALB ROBSEST BY • •HOPILIN.
Geer,le Raise," 26, a man of gentlemanly exterior, was
indicted for embed:sling the sums of U. 10s. 10d., bl., and
105., received by him brand on account of Wm. Leighton,
his master. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the whole of
the charged..
The prosecutor, in reply to the A:instant-Fudge, said
the prisoner had been in his employ between two and
three years, and he believed that he had oommenood
robbing him on the very tint day he came to him, and ho
traced defalcate= to hum amounting to upwards of 2001.
For this ho had forgiven him, and on one occasion he lent
him 12/. to make his accounts square. He went on again
until March in the Airesent year, when be
again found him in defaloation amounting to 40t,
and he then determined to prosecute the prisoner ; but
his (juneecutor's) wife, and the prisoner's friends pleaded
so hard for him that he was induced to forego his inten-
tion and again forgave him. Ho was paid 21. a week, and
when the prisoner got married he told him that he might
take a few things of drapery from the shop, but instead
of doing so he took things to the amount of WI. His
father it a most respectable man, but got tired of these
things and would have nothing to dovrith the prisoner. He
was sorry to say that his (prosecutor's) cashier had serious
defalcations in his account', and be firmly believed he
was led into doing so by the prisoner. Thin man ulti-
mately committed suicide, and be believed that was from
feeling. of shame at what he haddone at the instigation
of the prisoner.
The judge said this was one of the word cases ever
brought before him, and sentenced him to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for two years.

POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.)

SOUTHWARK.

DLSORACZFUL CONDUCT.
William Jefferson, a wall-dreamed and respectable-look-
ing man, who was described as a commercial traveller,
and refused to give his address, was brought before Mr.
Burcham charged with indecent conduct towards young
girls in the public streets. The charge was proved. and
Mr. Burcham sentenced the prisoner to three months hard
labour.
WANDS WORTH.
RAILWAY PANNENOIUDI AND THEIR TIONNTS.
Henry Runt was charged with refusing to show his
ticket, and assaulting two porters.
The prisoner went up the stairs of tho Wandsworth-
road station of the London, Dover, and Chatham Railway
Company to go on to the platform when lie was asked to
show his ticket. He refused, and said ho had paid for it,
and that he had a right to go whore he liked. Mclluill,
the porter, took hold of hie arm and said the best thing ho
could do wan to show his ticket. He turned round, put
his ticket in his pocket and said ho would not. He then
struck ilcßuill and also another porter.
Mr. Dayman read the bye-laws of the company, and
said a passenger was only required to show his ticket to
the guard of the train and to deliver it up on leaving a
station. That did not say he should show it when he
came in._

An officer of the company said it applied to other ser-
vants WI well.

Kr. Daynoan—No ; only to the guard. As you have
worded the bye-laws you could not convict him. The
bye-laws of the other companies are so worded th•tt
a passenger is bound to show his ticket to any authorised
savant. You had better draw the attention of the
company to that. (To the prisoner)—There is one thing,
you have committed an assault, for you had your rem•ly
by law. By the general act you had no right to be there
without having previously paid your fare, and it was folly
not to show your ticket.
The prisoner then Paid he had never been asked for his
ticket fbe The train was due, and ho was anxious
to get on to the platform.
Mr. Hayman said it was very extraordinary for a mill
not to show his ticket, for so many mistakes are made, and
it was the duty of,tho porters to put the passengers right.
The prisoner would not show his ticket through stupid ob-
stinacy, which was often shown, especially whoa a little
drink was taken, which always took away persons' senses.
He tined the prisoner be. for tho assault, or three days.

DEGISTRATIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY OF LONDON.

The recision of lists of voters for the City of
tendon was resumed this morning before Mr. Spencer
Pereietd. in the Court of Common Hess, Guildhall.

The Liberala were represented by Mr. Sidney Smith
and Mr. Ledger, and the Conservatives by Mr. T. E.
Hamper and Mr. Sothern.
% Maim Large claimed in respect of his occupation of a
warehouse in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn. He repro-
senti a firm whose goods he displays in the warehouse,
and from whom he receives a salary, out of which he pays
the rent. _ _ _

Mr. Ilerper argued that in this case there was a con-
tract and servitude. Although the claimant could remove
from the premises his agreement would not allow him to
go out of town for any time.
The claimant said ho was not bound to attend to the
business of the firm exclusively.
The Revising Barrister did not see how the claimant's
individual status was affected. The exercise of his pro-
fession. and not a contract of servitude, was involved.
The claim was allowed.

The con ervatives supported Mr. Foster White's claim
to be placed on the list in respect of his occupation of a
house at Bartholomew's Hospital.
Mr. White stated in reply to Mr. Harper that his office
as treasuter of the hospital was purely honorary. He
could not be said to be a servant, inasmuch at the entire
manag,mcnt and control of the institution were entrusted
to him. lie had occupied the house fur 15 years.
Replying to Mr. Smith, he said he could not admit that
he acted under the governors. All the rules and regula-
tion were submitted to the governing body, but he was
hperfectly indtkendent, and could resign within thu next
alf hour. .

'Hie Revising Barrider requested Mr. Harper to pro-
duce the 1111011 of the hospital. Having looked through
them, he said he found the following with regard to the
treasurer:—" You shall reside in the house within the
hospital appropriated for the purpose as occupied by your
pride( essor. '
Mr. Harper submitted that that rule might either be
mandatory or permissive, and that the house oocupied by
Mr. White was intended as a sort of privilege in lieu of
salary or emolument.
The Revising Barrister said the rules also stated,
"These several duties shall be considered as constituting
your charge which you are desired conscientiously to
observe." Ile did not think it could be contended that
was not an obligation to discharge a duty. He
could not distinguish the case from that a surgeon
obliged to live in the hospital.
Mr. Harper said Mr. White was master, and his occupa-
tion could not be held to be that of a servant. He was in
receipt of no salary, and how could lie be called a
servant ':'
The Revising Barrister—The rules also state. "As
superior is:dec.-a officer you shall have control over all the
other cfin ers." I must disallow the claim.
51r. White—As you reject me, the simple course for the
gevernore to take will be to alter the rules.

The revh.ing barrister at Tynemouth has adopted
a view of the law which will result (says the MancA"ler
L. anti Per ) in an extensive diAfranchishment of the small
ter.atits. Ilia decision has some relation to the ease de-
cided a :bort time ago, and known as the Sunderland
rating case. The overseer had put upon the register tho
tenants of houses let off in flats, and while giving them
the privilege of the franchise, of course made them liable
to the yayment of rates. This course was declared to
be illegal. It was decided that the landlords ought to be
rated, and that the tenants wore, therefore, improperly
on the register. This decision, it was announced, would
dirfrauchite 2,04.0 voters in Tynemouth alone.

since the 21rd of Edward I. In the last century the num-
ber of electors was only 34.
THE LATE SHOOTING CASE AT SEEPTIELD.—
We publiditil a few days ago (observes the Geed, Mercury)
the particulars of a dirtiessing coos: from Sherlold; Mr.
Gen. Brunt, a manufacturer there, having tarot at his

and on i-atuiday was removed to Wakidield house of

extraordinary act, but it was suggested —and his sake-

hupgehtion— that his mind had become affected. Ou Sun-

ATTEMPTED II mil WAY ROBBERY. --MIMI II:On-
moud, a young lady visiting at Chagfonl Rectory, Devon,
was stopped near Itushford-bridge, near Chagford, about
6 o'clock on Friday evening, by three mutt, who, after
threatening her with personal violence, demanded her
watch and money. She with great coolness refused to
comply with the demand ; at this time, very fortunately,
approuchieg footsteps were heard, and the men decamped.
lcovFl, SCENE IN THY. SERPENTINE.—A gentle-
men nnmed Collard, in order to teat the diving qualifica-
tions of the swimmers of the variousclubs in rescuing per-
sons from drowning, caused the effig7 of a man to he male
of full weight, and yesterday morning sank it in Aft. of
water, oppeeite the old elm tree in the Serpentine, and 50
yards from the shore. A silver cup war offered to the
swimmer diving and buoying the aupposed body on land.
Only four competed, all, however, being find-rate swim-
mer,- viz., Charles White (champion of the Thames), C.
Coulter, F. Purfett, and A. Ward, each being allowed
three trials. White and Ward failed to bring the effigy
on shore, though they dragged it some distance. Coulter
then lown.Wo,l in lending it, thus winning the prize, and
was loudly cheered by the spectators.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
(THIB DAY.)

The aftcrnoon, at a common hall, Alderman
J. C. Lawrence was unanimously elected Lord Mayor for
the ensuing year.
The usual vote of thanks was worded to Mr. Alder-
man Allen, though not until after some opposition and
discussion, the previous question being moved, seconded,
and put to the meeting.
The new Loan Mskoi, who was received with loud
cheers, in returning thanks, pledged himself to maintain
the privileges of the corporation and the livery intact.

BRUBSRU3, Bwr. 27.

Yesterday, though all the public. institutions,
as well as the theatres and places of amusement, were
again opened to the public, although there wore
regattas on the canal, and concerti in the open air,
the two great objects of attraction wore the teats to
be performed by the various gymnastic societies of
the kingdom and the shooting at the Tir National.
The close proximity of the Plain dee Manceuvres to the
Tir enabled the visitors to a great extent to kill, as it
were, the two birds with the one shot, and thus accounted
for the thousands that visited both.

Throughout tigniscrily L7orspartai tioo'n ns went on during
the day for • and illumination.
Every edifice, even the towers of the cathedral of
St. Oudiale, and the St. Michael at the summit of the
spires of the Hotel de Ville and the column Leopold, bore
the tri-coloured standard of Belgium. All the principal
thoroughfares were resplendent with the crimson, black,
and yellow, and by no means in a few instance
the national flag was seen blended with the Union
Jack of England. In the evening the Houma of Parlia-
ment feting the King's palace and the various ministries
had their file architectural outlines delineated in gas jets,
while the Palace of Justice and others bore the
old style of illumination lamps. At 9 o'clock there was a
magialloent display of fireworks at the Mee des Ma-
noeuvres, at which there were at lead 60,000 people present,
but a more orderly or well-behaved crowd it is impossible
to imagine.
The contest among English riflemen for the King of
the Belgian's prizes of 1201. for the Enfield, with a cup
added of the value of 61., and the 301. for the King's
second series, open to any rifle competition, closed on
Saturday (yesterday) evening, but the scores were not
made up until • very late hour. The first competition
was at ranges of 250 and 611 yards. The winners of the
King's prizes in the Ist aeries were as follows:

Captain gCrivener, of the Queen's, made 18, with a 10
and a 8 ; and„Sergeant R. V. Harman, of the 18th Kent,
also 18, with al3 and a 6. On Friday afternoon towards
the close of the day a number of the beet shots, supposing
that the competition was compelled to be completed that
day, tired under a disadvantage, and the committee there-
fore gave them the privilege of shooting over again. With
the exception of Corporal Good every one of them de-
clined to take advantage of the privilege, as hour an
injustice to other competitors. Good, who had made a
poor score, now managed to come in llth, taking 5/. from
some of the other competitors and so on, shutting a man
out all the way through, thus creating great dissatisfac-
tion. It should'also be mentioned that in this competition
Private May, 7t6 Surrey, made 20 points, but was dis-
qualified, having fired three shots in a wrong peaition.
For the Any Rifle Coinpetiton, in which there were only
three prizes, viz., 15/., 101., and U., the Henry breech-
loader carried off first and third prizes against not only
all the other breech-loaders but match muzzle-loading
rifles that could be brought against it. The five principal
scores were :-Ist prize, 161., Mr. Farquharson, Inverness
Itifle Volunteers, five shots at 611 yards, 23 ; 2nd, 101.,
Mr. J. C. Dawson, 4th West York, 22. 3rd, 51., Mr. R.
Bird, Sonth Middlesex, 21. 4th on the list Corporal
Peaks, let Manchester, 21 ; 6th, Mr. T. Chapman, Lieute-
nant, 18th Kent.
. _ _

With regard to the competition with the Garde Civique,
with whom the foregoing scores are to be taken in the
Anglo-Belgian Committee competition, the prize list
cannot be definitively settled till the scores of the Garde
Civique have been ascertained. There is no doubt, how-
ever, of one thing, that the highest scorer have been made
by some of the Belgians. The Anglo-Belgian Committee
therefore announce that so soon as these scores are
transmitted to England, which cannot be till the close
of the Tir, the lists will be finally adjusted, and communi-
cated to each successful competitor, and the amount of
the respective prizes transmitted.
The Anglo-Belgian Committee, at the conclusion of
the English official competition last night, al se a.ldreesed
the following communication to the commission of the Tir,
and posted the cement bead-quarters.
Brussels, Sept. 26.

" To the President and Members of the Tir
Gentlemen,—Before leaving Brussels we desire to offer to
you our sincere thanks for the cordial co-opemti,u you have
given us in carrying old the Anglo-Belgian prize fund
competition. The facilities which you have so liberally
afforded ua, the ample supply of targets placed at our dis-
posal, and the excellent manner in which all arrangements
were carried out at the Tir National, have been in the
highest degree satisfactory, both to the committee and
the competitors. (Signed) JAIOSS THOMSON, Lieut.-
Colonel Tower Hamlets Rifle Brigade—J. H. CHAMIIKEI"
4th Lancashire R.V.—J. D. DIOICION, Captain London
Rifle Brigade—Casaxxs MOECIPA Captain 6th R..iyal
Lancashire Militia."

Although this terminated the official connection be-
tween the Anglo-Belgian Committee and the Commission
of the Tir National, it is to be by no means taken as an
end either of the Engli>h Volunteers' visit, or as pre-
cluding their entering into competition at the Tir on
their own account. It was understood that to-day (Sun-
day) there was to be something like a demonstration at
the Tir, on the occasion of the presentation of the por-
trait of his Majesty the King painted by Captain Mercier
to the commimion of the Tir Nationale. The same prin-
ciple, however, that guided the Anglo-Belgian committee
in declining to accept any official banquet also operated to
divest the presentation of the portrait of any public or
official character. There was, however, a grand reception
of the Minister of the Interior, M. Parlour, under wham
authority the Tir National is held, and who in the course
of his address alluded to the high gratification which
the King and the government and the people had derived
from the visit of the English volunteers.

• A protest has been entered against Corporal Good, of
the 4th Stmenct, receiving the prize opposite to his name.

BIRKRECK LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INETITU-
now, SOUTHAMPTON-BITILDINUB.--This long established
institution has just issued its prospectus for the winter
session. Arrangements have been made for holding
dames in almost every branch of education. As technical
education is Stow aslenowledged to bo a national deside-
ratum, several classes will be commenced with the view of
supplying that want. The inaugural address will be de-
livered by Mr. J. Scott Russell on Tuesday, October 6.
The lecture list includes, as usual, the names of several
of the most popular occupants of the platform. Many
valuable additions have been made to the library ; and
the reading room is well supplied with the chief news-
papers and periodicals. Candidates will be prepared for
various public examinations by professors whose pupils
have been so eminently successful during the past and
preteding years.
N110(-8180 AtVIDENT To A RAILWAY GrAl2l).
—A shocking accident occurred on Saturday afternoon t
a guard named JOllll Purkies, who was in charge of the
train leaving Southampton for Dorchester at 1.45 p.m.
Whilst between Helmsley and Ringwood stations, the
poor fellow was in the act of fastening up a gout which
was being csinveyed in the rear van of the train, when on
going round a sharp curve the van " lurched," and Par-
kiss was thrown violently against the double doors. These
gave way beneath his weight, and he fell backwards on
to the metals, sustaining the most frighful scalp wounds
and other injuries. After lving for some time in a state
of insensibility on the metals, he at lust recovered him-
self, and us best he could crawled to the side of the cut-
ting, when he found that. his clothes were torn to shreds,
and, though no bones were broken, he was suffering
intense internal pain. It appears that on the arrival of the
train at Ringwood station, although the guard -.vas missed
from the train, no messenger was sent back along the line
to look after him, and the unfortunate man was loft to
crawl as best liecould for four mileis, during which journey,
according to his own statement, he fainted several times.
He managed, however, to reach Ringwood at lad, where
Lis wounds were bandaged and ho was forwardi.l to Dor-
chester in an almost lifeless state. He has sine received
every attention, but last evening his life was deer:aired of.
The poor fellow has a wife and largo family, and has ever
been known WI one of the South Western's most trust-
worthy servants.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AT lIENLEY-ON
THANsw.— On Sunday morning at 1.45 p.m., an unusually
loud clap of thunder burst over the town of Henley-on-
Thames. The lightning accompanyiug it struck one of the
turrets of the perish church, causing it to fall with great
force upon the roof. The atone broke through in every
direction, damaging several of the pow*, and the Sunday
services had to be held elsewhere. Fortunately a wire
I used to signal to the ringers attracted the lightning, which
tun down it, twisting it up and partially melting it. Ilis
is supposed to have prevented much greater damage. The
cog of repairing tbo roof cannot, it is thought, be less
than £BOO.

MONEY MARrET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONE O'CLOCK.
••
&winces is exceedingly quiet on the Stook Ex-
change ; and owing to its absence the tone of the
market is rather dull in railways. Foreign stocks
aro partially depressed from the same cause, the
principal decline being in Spanish, the div:dends
on which are thought to be in peril from the losses
the country must, for a time at least, incur
through the existing commotion. United States
securities, however, oonstitute an exception. They
are generally firm, with rather upward tendencies.
The funds remain unaltered, but perfectly inac-
tive.

The discount market continues in the same state
as yesterday. The end of the quarter has brought
with it only a very slight increase in tho demand—
not sufficient to sustain the rates for the beet bills
above 11 to 13 per cont.
Consols are still quoted at 941 to 4, for money
and aooount; and Reduced and New Three per
Cents. at 934 to 4. India Five per Cents., 1144
to 115 ; Exchequer Bills, 15s. to 20e. prem.
Railway stocks are in some cases slightly
below the final quotation of yesterday; but
the market generally shows no variation,
though there is a remarkable paucity of
transactions. Great Eastern stock is
lower at 401 to 41; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
128 to 4. Caledonian has receded 4, being now
quoted at 681 to 4. London and North Western,
1121 to 113 ; Great Western, 49: to 1 ;
Midland, 1111 to 112; South Western, 88 to 89 ;
Brighton, 511 to 521; South Eastern, 781 to 4 ;
Chatham and Dover, 17 to 18; Metropolitan,
1061 to 3.
The Russian Railways are steady. Moscow-
Jaroelaw, 31 to 3 prem.
Atlantic and Great Western Debentures, 371 to
384 ; Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 391 to 401.
Grand Trunk of Canada shares are quoted at
161 to 17 ; Great Western of Canada, 141 to 4.
In the foreign market Spanish New Three per
Cents. arc flat, at 311 to. 32, being I lower, and
there is a pressure of sales. Italian steady, at 51
to 1, and Peruvian at 78 to 4. Turkish Bonds
are unaltered, but dull ; those of 1858
at 041 to 65, ; 1862 at 67 to 1. ; and 1865 at 394
to 3. Mexican, 141 to 151; Honduras, 881 to 89.
United States 5-20 Bonds are firm at 721 to 73.
Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. shares are
quoted at 31 to 4 ; Anglo-American Telegraph,
21 to 4.
The Royal Mail steamer Tasmanian has arrived
with 231,6801. in specie, principally silver, from

the West Indies and South America. The Bun
Lomond, from Sydney, has brought 8,8281. Aus-
tralian gold.
At the half-yearly meeting, held at Brussels,
on Saturday, of the Tourney and Hasselt Railway,
a dividend was agreed to of 78. lid. per share on
the ordinary shares, and of Ge. per share on the
preference shares, payable on the let October, less
income tax.

The transactions in backing and miscellaneous
shares aro unimportant.

FOUR O'CLOCK.

Consols are now rather flatter, being quoted
91!„ " sellers," both for money and the Gth Oc-
tober.

In the other markets attention is still chiefly di-
rected to the settlement. With the exception of
Spanish Bonds, which, at 311 to 1, show a fall of
* to g per cent. since 1 o'clock, foreign stocks are
unchanged. Italian Bonds of 1861 are quoted 51
to I ; Turkish Five per Cents., 381 to ; and the
Moscow JaroslaTt Railway Loan, 31 to .1 prem.
Home railway stocks are quiet, and prices are
quoted in all instances the same as those given
above as applying to 1 o'clock.
The amount of bar gold sent into the Bank to-
day is 68,000/.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Renter
opened at 69fr. for the account, being sc. lower
than yesterday afternoon.
The present price of Consols includes nearly three
months' accrued interest, and the speculators will
soon begin to look forward to the deduction of the
half-yearly dividend, which will take place early in
November. Holders of Spanish bonds are rendered
cautious by the indications that the present move-
ment against the government of Queen Isabella has
been in course of preparation for a long time past.
Moreover, it is noticed that, while everything points
to a probable destruction of existing institutions, no
party seems able to see its way to a reconstruction
—a work which may perhaps occupy considerable
time. Meanwhile, it is a serious question how the
already impoverished treasury will be able to
meet its engagements.
It is stated that the new Italian loan is likely to
be brought forward on the 6th prox.
The Stock Exchange committee have appointed
Tuesday, the 6th of October, a special settling day
in the scrip (13 per cent. paid, and fully paid up)
of the loan for the Moscow-Jaroslaw Railroad
Company, and it is to be quoted in the official list.
The scrip was last quoted yesterday 31 to 1 prem.,
being steady.
The White Rose has arrived from Melbourne with
192,500/. in specie, and the Allemania, from New
York, with 44,3421. The bulk of these arrivals is
expected to be sent into the Bank.
In South Eastern Railway Deferred or B stuck
there have been transactions at 31 to 32 per cent.
There is no doubt that, in view of the result at-
tending the like subdivision of Great Northern
steak into A and B, the option will be extensively
exercised by shareholders of the South Eastern,
especially us, the dividend on the Preferred stock
being a fixed one, all increase in the traffic re-
ceipts must directly tend to the enhancement of
the dividend on the Deferred.
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 1611. over the correspond-
ing week of lust year ; anti the Brighton a de-
crease of 377/.

The preparations yesterday for to-morrow's set-
tlement in the railway market were easily con-
ducted, money being very abundant, and the
rates of •• continual ion " accordingly light. Mid-
