trated by the Pederals, elicited from Mr. Cobden the same
public reprehension which he has justly lavished upon a
not dissimilar enormity- perpetrated elsewhere.

EAST TENNESSEE.

The menacing 'attitude of the four antagonistic armies
which occupy East Tennessee—the Switzerland, as it is
called, of the Confederacy—is still maintained, and nothing
more is known than that General Buckner has withdrawn
his forces westward, and occupied a position nearer to
General Bragg, whereby he has left Knoxville open to the
Federals. Whether the Federals have availed themselves
of the opening thus offered to them at Knoxville I am not
in a position positively to state, but the impression here is
that such a movement would not be to their advantage.
The difficulties of General Rosecrans, operating as he now
is at a distance of 100 miles from his base, and in mountains
which greatly resemble the Jura range, must necessarily be
excessive. With the eyes of the Confederacy steadfastly
fixed, as they are at this moment upon Eastern Tennessee,
it is not believed there is danger in that quarter. Vague
threats of danger to Mobile from a portion of General
Grant's army are heard at intervals ; but Mobile can cer-
tainly, if justice is done to it, take care of itself. Mean
while, along the Mississippi, upon both banks, active em-
ployment for General Grant will not be wanting. Rumours
of considerable activity on the part of General Price in
Arkansas, of the organisation of endless guerilla light bat-
teries on both sides of the great river, of revived hopefulness
in the State of Mississippi, of an unabated spirit of resist-
ance in every corner of the south-west, might well shake
the confidence of a mightier power than is wielded by the
Federals, if reason or judgment had any influence upon
their unitise's. Nor, putting aside the stubborn resistance
of Charleston, have the Federals had much lately to encou-
rage them elsewhere. In Western Virginia a warm en-
gagement in the neighbourhood of the White Sulphur
Springs, between a force of 2,000 to 3,000 Confederates
under General Sam Jones, and a not dissimilar force of
Federals under General Averill, resulted on August 26 dnd
27 in the unmistakable defeat of the latter. The details of
the capture by Captain Wood of two Federal steam-vessels
engaged in blockading the mouth of the Rappahannock.
River must have long ago been reported in England. But
after the fall of Charleston, the war, according to General
Halleek, is to take a fresh start. The presence during the
last 10 or 12 days of General Leo in Richmond, the long
conferences between him and the President, the sundry
other symptoms, upon which it is unnecessary to dilate,
lead to a suspicion that the fresh impulse which is about
to be given to the war will be imparted not by the Fede-
rals but by the Confederates, and in a quarter where at
present the Federals are supposed to be having it all their
own way.

SOUTHERN FINANCE.
The length of this letter forbids my touching upon the
question of Southern finance, which has latterly attracted a
good deal of uneasy attention, and concerning which I will
hereafter lay full particulars before your readers. It is
sufficient for the present to state that it is altogether a mis-
take to measure in a blockaded country the value of the
currency by the standard of gold and silver which, as Mr.
Memminger has well pointed out, become as much articles
of commerce, when their outgoing and incoming are im-
peded, as tin and platina. The true measure of deprecia-
tion to which the currency has undergone may be gauged
by the price of real estate, and of such articles as wheat,
Indian corn, and bacon. Throughout the Confederacy
real estate may, at this moment, anywhere be bought
with Confederate currency at the rate of two dollars
for that which formerly cost one ; in other words, that
which cost 50,000 dollars before the war can now be
bought for 100,000 dollars. The price of wheat, corn, and
bacon, as compared with old prices, is in the ratio of 5 to
2, or, at most, of 3to 1. Nevertheless, under the influence
of artificial panic and interested inflation, it required, two
or three weeks ago, 16 dole. in Confederate currency to
purchase one dollar in gold. A conviction, however, that
when Congress meets next December, the further issue of
Treasury notes for circulation will be checked, the serious
determination to cope with this, the blackest cloud on the
Confederate horizon, and the return of greater confidence
to the unthinking messes, have again lowered the price of
gold in Richmond, which can this day be purchased at the
price of 10 dole. in currency for one in metal.
RICHMOND, Sqt. 7 (Evening).

P.S.—The intelligence, by no means unexpected, has
just been received that General Beauregard deemed it
advisable to abandon Mcrris Island, or, in other words,
Batteries Wagner and Gregg, last night, upon the close of
the 59th day of the siege. It had been my impression that,
if the equinoctial gales had favoured such an enterprize
and driven the monitors off the coast, an attack would
have been made upon the Federal works upon Morris
Island by such a force of Confederates as would have infal-
libly commanded success. But in view of the delay in the
equinoctial gales, it has appeared to Gen. Beauregard un
desirable to sacrifice many lives to attain an object which is
considered, after all, of little moment. The 59 days of siege
have made Morris Island into little more than the outer
crust of the defences of Charleston, and there remains in
Fort Sumter and Fort Ridley, and in the batteries upon
Sullivan's and James Islands, and last of all in the battery
or sea wall of Charleston itself, a system of defences which
all the military engineers in the Confederacy pronounce to
be impregnable.

It is true that, from Morris Island, shells will perhaps be
thrown into the city of Charleston, but persons who have
seen Vicksburg after months and months of shelling will
entertain little apprehension in regard to the dan-lage
which, from a distance of more than four miles, can be
done to Charleston. It seems to me that the disadvantages
wising to the Confederates from the loss of Morris Island
will be twofold. In the first place, of the two chancels
which lead into Charleston Harbour, one will be rendered
irnpass .ble for incoming vessels by the Federal batteries
upon Morris Island, and all the attention of the blockading
vessels will be concentrated upon the other channel. Se-
condly, the possession of Morris Island will enable the
Federals to make a large camp there, into which they will
throw any number of men, and thus threaten to beat down
resistance at Charleston by weight of numbers. This
danger can only be met by a step which is as easy to the
Confederates as is the withdrawal of troops from Washing-
ton to the Federals. In other words, the number of defen-
ders must increase pari passe with that of the assailants.
There is such disgust in this city at the depreciation of the
currency, towards which the introduction of goods through
Charleston has powerfully contributed, thet I doubt whether
the capture of that city by the Federals would not, on the
whole, be acceptable to a majority. I ought not to forget
to mention that General Beauregaid brought all his guns
off from Batteries Gregg and Wagner. The siege of
Charleston is just commenced.

The only other notable incident of this day has been the
opening of the session of the Virginia State Legislature in
Richmond. The message of Governor Letcher has at-
tracted much attention, and, it must be added, hearty ap-
probation.

subjects seem to occupy the most prominent places. Pro-
fessor Archer, the active local secretary of the meeting, and
the head of the Edinburgh Industrial Museum, contributes
a paper on " the Industrial Features of Edinburgh." The
recent progress and present condition of trades and manu-
factures of various districts of Scotland form the subjects of
numerous papers likely to be of considerable interest,
In the other division of this department discussions are
likely to arise on various points of international law,
the importance of which is being daily demonstrated by
the course of public events. We may mention a paper by
Mr. James Anderson, Q.C., likely to deal with several of
these points; and also one by Mr. R. D. Chalmers on the
capture during war of private property at sea. An interna-
tional patent law, an international decimal system, and an
international congress and tribunal for the prevention of
war, form the subjects of papers which have been contri-
buted to this department.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Sept. 24.

OLD COURT.
Helen Hannah Margaret Englohart, convicted of an as-
sault upon her child, Constance Augusta, barely five years
old, was brought up for judgment.
Mr. Justice Bytes addressing the prisoner, said—You
were pat upon your trial yesterday for the manslaughter of
an unprotected infant, of which you were the mother, and
whatever may have been the real facts of the case there was
not sufficient evidence to satisfy the minds of the jury, and
they acquitted you of that offence, You were afterwards
tried for an assault upon the child, and of that you were
found guilty. It is plain that there was a succession of bar-
barous and inhuman acts on your part which I do not say
caused the child's death, but which undoubtedly led to and
accelerated it. It is impossible to pass over an offence of so
grievous a nature. I can well conceive the sufferings you
have endured since the commission of this offence, and I
know that you have been treated by the authorities with a
humanity which you failed to show towards the infant
whose death you have unquestionably hastened. The sen-
tence which I feel it my duty to pronounce on you is that
you be imprisoned for 18 calendar months.

Earlier in the day Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Eibton, the pri-
soner's counsel, made an earnest appeal to the judge to re-
spite the sentence until after her confinement, she being now
pregnant. They had been induced, they said, to make that
application in order to save her the unspeakable distress of
mind consequent upon giving birth to a child in a gaol, and
to prevent the stigma that would attach to the infant itself
from that circumstance during life.
Mr. Orridge, counsel for the prosecution, said he had been
instructed by the parish authorities from a sense of duty, and
he left the latter entirely in his lordship's hands, having no
desire to press unduly on the prisoner.
Mr. Justice Byles said he had consulted the principal offi-
cers of the court, and had not found there was any prece •
dent for such a course as had been suggested. Further than
that, he had spoken to the surgeon of the gaol, and knew
when her accouchement might be expected to take place.

SECOND COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Wm. Pottage, 20, clerk, pleaded guilty to indictments
charging him with feloniously forging upon a certain bill
of exchange, for the payment of money, the acceptance of
one Wm. Bew, with intent to defraud, and also with felo-
niously forging upon two bills of exchange the endorsement
of John Henry Weston and Edward Weston, with intent
to defraud.

Mr. Poland, who appeared for the prosecution, said the
charge against the prisoner s as that of having forged bills
of exchange, and the circumstances were these :—The pri-
soner went some time in the present year to a loan office
kept by a Mr. Welfare and gave a bill for £5O, which pur-
ported to have been drawn by Mr. Henry Weston and en-
dorsed by himself. That bill was discounted by Mr. Wel-
fare. When it became due the prisoner went to Mr. Wel-
fare and asked him to allow it to stand over. This as
refused, and they the prisoner brought another bill, drawn
by himself, and purporting to be accepted by Mr. Bew, and
with the proceeds of the second bill he paid oS the £5O upon
the first. He was asked to get the second bill endorsed by
it was ascertained that both
Mr. Weston also, He took it away, brought it back with
the name of Mr. Weston endorsed under that of Mr. Bow,
and upon subsequentinquiry
these signatures were forgeries. The first bill, in fact, was
forged as well as the second. Though this was the serious
nature of the prisoner's offence, yet Mr. Welfare, who had
been acquainted with him for some years, was anxious, as
far as he could, to recommend ham to the merciful conside-
ration of the Court,

Mr. Sleigh, who was engaged for the defence, expressed
his belief that the case was one entitled to merciful =side.
ration. The unhappy young man at the bar was a person of
respectability who at one time held a good position in
society. He unfortunately became a partner with a gentle-
man ; that partnership was dissolved ; he was unable to
obtain a settlement, and he was reduced in consequence to
the very verge of destitution. Under his (the learned
counsel's) instructions ho had very reluctantly pleaded
guilty, because he alleged that he had no intention to de_
fraud at the time he negotiated the bill transactions with
Mr. Welfare. Those who had known him for years would
bear testimony that he had always been an honourableyoung.
man. Still, there was no doubt that in ibis instance he had
violated the law, but, after atl, his offence did not come
under the category of a commercial forgery.

Shortly after the robbery was !ffeeted the prisoners Smith
and Pemberthy were found it. dealing
ing it and receiving DicneY for They were seen lurking
about in the neighbourhood of the wharf where the lighter
was moored. The case against Harrison differed entirely
the other two prisoners. from that against oilers. His
offence con-
sisted in receiving the property with a knowledge that it
had been stolen. He carried on business as an oil and colour
man in Queenhithe,somewhere opposite the residence of
the Lord Mayor. His concern was not very extensive, as
was proved by the circumstance that he only employed a
boy in his office. In consequence of information received
by the police the officers visited his premises and found the
his
cask of turpentine in s cellar. Persons passing along the
street could see the end of the cask for several days after it
was received, when another cask containing petroleum was
placed over it; but it was contended that this visibility did
not tell in favour of the Prisoner, inasmuch as the identifi-
cation of the cask from the footpath was a matter of utter
impossibility. It was alleged by the learned counsel, but
the statement was not afterwards borne out in evidence,
that Harrison said he bad in the first instance given £l6 for
the cask, and afterwards that he had paid only £l2 10s. for
it, the real value being £25 ; and the question of his guilt
turned mainly upon the
question as to the parties from
he had purchased it.
whom The counsel for the prosecu-
tion relied upon the fact that he was alleged to have bought
it from the other two Prisoners, who were known to be
acting as labourers about the docks, and for a sum of money
amounting to only about half its actual value, for proof
that he must have Purchased it with a knowledge that it
had been dishonestly obtained.
At the close of the case for
Mr. Ribton addressed the jury on the part of Smith,
submitting that there was nothing approaching to evidence,
certainly not sufficient to warrant them in finding him
guilty. ,
He then called witnesses to character.
Mr. Sergeant Parry submitted that no evidence what-
ever had been add
adduced in support of the charge against
Harrison.

The Recorder, having carefully looked over his notes,
agreed in opinion with the learned serjoaut. On the con-
trary, he said that the opening statement of the learned
counsel for the prosecution was unsupported by the testi•
mony of the witnesses, because it now appeared that the
prisoner never had made any declaration to the effect that
ho purchased the cask either for £l6 or for £l2 10s.
Mr. Sergeant Parry
observed that there were several per-
sons in court who had known Harrison all his life, and who
were willing to bear testimony that he had sustained through-
out a moat irreproachable character. The Lord Mayor, for
instance, was ready to come forward and give evidence to
that effect.

The Recorder--If it had been proved that he knew the
exact position in life of the other two prisoners, from whom
he is said to have made the purchase, it would have made a
great difference in the case.
Mr. Sergeant Parry—But there is no evidence that he
knew anythin,s; whatever about them.
The Recorder—Undoubtedly there is not.
Under 1::ne direction of the Court a verdict 'f Not Guilty
is the case of Harrison was here taken, and the prisoner left
'e court with his friends.
The other two prisoners were found Guilty of the rob-
bery, and several previous convictions were proved against
Pemberthy.
The Recorder sentenced Pemberthy to six, and Smith to
five years' penal servitude.
Claude Cole, 16, a oervanti WAS indicted for feloniously

setting fire to a rick of stubble, the property of Wm. Gid-
dings, of Smith Minnie.
At the time of the fire the prisoner was discovered at
about 20 yards' distance from the rick. At first he denied
that he was the incendiary, and endeavoured to throw the
blame upon a man with a straw hat who was seen to cross
the fields, but subsequently he acknowledged the offence,
and said he had been driven by the force of the pangs of
hunger to consume the property. When apprehended he
requested the officer not to let his father know anything
about his being Concerned in so disgraceful a transaction.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Recorder asked in what capacity as a servant the
prisoner had hitherto acted?
Prisoner—As a gentleman's page.
The Recorder thought the case a strange one, and inti-
mated that some inquiries would be made into the prisoner's
circumstances and family connections before sentence was
pronounced. He then respited the judgment until next ses-
sions.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

William Smith and Thomas Allum surrendered to take
their trial on an indictment charging them with violently
assaulting and inflicting personal injuries upon William
Thomas and Benjamin Woodnutt.
Mr. Le Breton prosecuted ; and the defendants were re-
presented by Mr. Sleigh, with whom was Mr. Orridge.
The inquiry into this case occupied the attention of the
Court and jury for a considerable time, but the facts may
be briefly narrated. On the part of the prosecution it was
alleged that the prosecutors, who are barge builders residing
iu Rotherhithe, and in the same employ, after leaving their
work on the night of Saturday, the 25th of July, went to
their homes and remained there until about 10 o'clock,
when they proceeded to the residence of the prosecutor
Woodnutt's mother, in Millpond-street, where they partook
of supper and one glass of beer each. They were returning
home when the two defendants, who were on duty in plain
clothes, came up to them, and, as alleged, using most coarse
language, said that they had been long on the watch for
them, and that they would lock them up. The men Thomas
and Woodautt at once denied that they were the characters
the defendants had imputed to them, and eventually Thomas
was knocked down by the defendant Smith, and Woodnutt
by Allum. The prosecutors were followed to the residence
of Thomas, but not by the defendants, who, on alarm being
given by the prosecutors, ran away. The prosecutors were,
however, followed to the residence of the mother of Thomas,
and there taken into custody by a policeman named
Lamb, on the charge of being drunk, disorderly, and
having assaulted the police. The prosecutors were locked
up on the charges, but subsequently bailed out, and on the
case being heard by Mr. Trail], at the Greenwich Police-
court, the charge was dismissed after a long investigation.
The allegation on the part of the prosecution was that both
the prosecutors had been seriously injured by the defend-
ants ; and this was the point at issue.
Mr. Sleigh, for the defendants, said he was in a condition
to negative the assertion that his clients had been guilty of
the violence imputed to them. The defendants had been
long in the service, and by good conduct had been raised to
the position of detective officers. It would be shown that a
row had taken place in Dockhead, Rotherhithe, at which it
was supposed the prosecutors had taken part, and were con-
sequently watched and eventually taken into custody on the
charge of riotous conduct and assaulting the pol ce-officers.
They were charged in proper form, and then never insinu-
ated that they had been assaulted by the present defendants
On behalf of the defendants a host of witnesses were
called, all members of the same division of p: lice, with a
view to show that the prosecutors were intoxicated, and
that they had been concerned in a row at Dockhead, which
was negatived by the witnesses for the prosecution.
Inspector Moore deposed that he was on duty at the sta-
tion-house when the prosecutors were charged, and that
they were then both intoxicated, and made no mention of
having been assaulted by the defendants.
The Common-Sergeant, in summing up, said that this
was one of the most remarkable cases he had ever had to try.
The question involved was one of a very important character,
and he warned the jury to be cautious, as there was evi-
dently strong partizanship, and it was perfectly clear that
one party tr the other had committed perjury.
The jury, after a very brief deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of guilty, but at the same time coupled their verdict
with a recommendation to mercy on the ground of the good
character they had received ; and the jury also expressed an
opinion that they thought the defendants had mistaken the
prosecutors for other persons who had been concerned in a
disturbance or riot at Dockhead.
The Common Sergeant asked the police whether they had
heard anything about the row at Dockhead, and they said
there had been nothing of the kind ; and then turning to the
jury, the learned Judge asked them whether they remained
of the came opinion as to the defendants being mistaken as
to the prosecutors being concerned in the riot.
The foreman of the jury said, after the evidence they had
heard, they should alter their verdict, and simply find the
defendants guilty.

The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said the de-
fendants had been guilty of a very serious cifence, and in
proportion as power was given to the police, the Court was
bound to pass a sentence commensurate upon any officer who
abused the power placed in him. The power vested in the
police placed the public very much at their mercy, and the
act which they had committed was an exceedingly gross one.
He always passed severe sentences upon those convicted of
assaulting the police, and he should now pass a severe sen-
tence upon police officers, and that sentence was that they
be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for the
term of 18 calendar months.

With this case the business of the session terminated,
and the Court was adjourned to Monday, the 26th October

FRENCH COLONIAL EXHIBITION.

The iioniteur publishes a report addressed to the Minister
of Marine and the Colonies by the Committee of the Per-
manent Exhibition of the Colonies, giving an account of the
operations in 1862, which consisted chiefly in preparing for
the Universal Exhibition in London. The corn iniatee express
themselves highly satisfied with the reception given to
French colonial products by the jury of the Exhibition, as
well as by the English press, and then proceed to enumerate
the success of eachl;colony as follows :—Guadaloupe (17
-medals, 12 honourable mentions).—This colony exhibited
sugar, coffee, cocoa, rum, textile substances, and
salt, all of which the jury considered of superior
quality, but their attention was chiefly directed• to
the cotton, of which the long-stapled was valued at 5f
per kilogramme, and the short stapled at 2f 50c. This latter
description is especially remarkable for its abundant yield,
and being less suoject to the attacks of insects than the
Georgian. It will also grow on almost any soil, and is well
adapted for all ordinary fabrics. Martinique (13 medals,
three honourable mentions).—The sugar, cocoa, and rum of
this colony were found excellent, as was likewise its coffee,
which the jury considered fully equal to its long-established
reputation, and expressed their regret that its cultivation
should have diminished of late years. Guiana (14 medals,
17 honourable mentions).—None of the French colonists
presented such a variety of products as this. They com-
prise fine timber for shipbuilding, coffee, cotton, annotto,
fruit, and seeds yielding oil, &c. The cotton was an indige-
nous species, of a long and fine staple, estimated to be
worth from 41 50c to 501 per kilogramme. St. Pierre and
Miquelon (two medals, two honourable mentions).—These
islands exhibited the produce of their fisheries, cousistingof
cod and other fish cured in various ways, isinglass, cod liver
oil, white and brown, all of which were considered quite
equal to the best English and Norwegian products of the
same kind. West Coast of Africa (eight medals).—The
French possessions in Senegal, the Gold Coast of Gabon
exhibited ground-huts, gum, gold, ostrich feathers, tanning
substances, cabinet wood, palm oil, copper, ivory, ebony,
and sandal wood. A short-stapled cotton-growing wild in
Senegambia was exhibited, and also specimens of jumel
cotton recently introduced there, which was estimated at 4f
50c per kilogramme. Reunion (24 medals, 13 honourable
mentions),—This colony may well be proud of its success.
Its sugars were especially remarked, and were judged fully
equal to those of the Mauritius. The vanilla of this island
was found excellent, as was also the cotton. Magotte and
dependencies (one medal, two honourable mentions).—This
island had few exhibitors, chiefly of sugars, in which the
jury noticed considerable improvement since 1855. Mada-
gascar (one medal).—The principal articles exposed were
timber, cabinet-woods, cotton, rocella, and the silk of the
bombyx radama.—lndia (nine medals, six honourable men..
tions).—Thanks to the efforts of the local committee of
Pondicherry, the French possessions in India made a
very respectable figure, even beside the vast display from
Bengal. The jury highly appreciated the show of rice,
medicinal and tinctorial plants, cocoa nut oil, &c. As
to the cotton, it was valued at 6f 25c to 8f 7.5 c per kilo-
gramme, and was admitted to be superior to that from
British India. New Caledonia (six medals, six honourable
mentions).—The wool from this colony was found equal to
the best Australian, and proves that the rearing of sheep
on a large scale would soon make this a rich colony. The
specimens of sugar and coffee were especially noticed by the
Australian Commissioners, and New Caledonia is admirably
situated for supplying the great English colony with those
articles. Cotton, resins, bark, sandal-wood, timber, and
cocoa-nut oil were also exhibited. Tahiti (three medals,
two honourable mentions)—The productions of these islands
attracted much notice from the commercial men of all coun-
tries, and were considered very superior to those shown in
1855. Cochin China (one medal,two honourable mentions)
—This country exhibited rice, cotton, silks, dye-woods,fish,
swallow's-nests, and many other Eastern delicacies. This
collection was examined with extraordinary interest. The
report concludes with expressing the conviction of the com-
mittee that France has every reason to be satisfied with the
success of her colonies at this great International Exhibition.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—Holloway's Pills.—Disorders of
the kidneys, known by the deeply-seated pain in the back
and scanty secretion of water, can be arrested in their dis-
tressing and rapid course by these regulating Pills. Their
highly tonic and strengthening properties prevent the im-
poverishment of the blood and the derangement of circula-
tion characteristic of kidney disease, often ending in par-
tial or general dropsy. Experience has proved the almost
unvaried success obtained when Holloway's Pills are taken
in the earlier stages, and the ease they afford when the
complaint is more advanced. They relax the hot and
parched skin, overcome the attendant costiveness, and in-
duce a copious secretion of the kidneys, which are the
harbingers of dieeass departing and health returning,
