THE GARIBALDI PAPAL RIOTS IN HYDE-PARII.
(THIS DAY)—This morning a number of workmen were
employed in Hyde-park, by order of the Hon. W. Cowper,
her Majesty's Commissioner of Works, levelling the mounds
from which the stump orators who assembled in the park
were in the habit of addressing their hearers, and the
struggle for the possession of which led to the disgraceful
riuts that have occurred the two last Sundays. The police
have ascertained that the supporters of the Pope intend to
muster in the park in strong force on Sunday next to renew
the disturbances, and accordingly additional precautions of
a very stringent nature will be taken to prevent any furthe r
breach of the peace. Last evening another riot took place
in Tothill-street, Westminster; it originated in a drinking
saloon, where a number of low Irish attacked the rest of
the company with the cry of Up with the Pope, down
with Garibaldi." Several of the Guards took part in the
affray, and four of the Coldstreams, named Edward Barnes,
John Jones, John Elliott, and John Hibberd, were so
seriously cut and injured that they had to be taken to
Westminster Hospital for surgical assistance.
BEDFORDSHIRE PLOUGHING MEETING..--.LaSt
Friday the crack ploughmen of Messrs. Ransome and
Howard met at Leighton, and, after a severe contest, the
twenty guinea prize, offered by the town of Leighton, was
won by Messrs. Ransome, their ploughman, Armstrong,
having done better work than the celebrated Purser.
READING CHEESE AND HOP FAlR.—This fair,
which commenced on Tuesday, was brought to a close yes-
terday, and proved successful to an extent beyond the ex-
pectation of the committee. Stalls were arranged for the
hop merchants in the spacious Corn Exchange, and cheese
was pitched in the general market. Every convenience and
accommodation were afforded by Mr. Smith, the clerk to
the fair, and the utmost satisfaction in that respect was ex-
perienced. The show of hops was large, and much better
than last year, the firms in the Borough being well repre-
sented. On the first day buyers were not numerous, but
there were more on the following day, and trade was car-
rifld on with more spirit than previously, a good number of
pockets having exchanged hands. The prices realised were
as follow :---Country Farnhams, £9 to £9 9s ; Mid and East
Kent, £6 6s to £9 9s; Sussex, £6 6s to £8 8s; and foreign,
45 10s to £7. A considerable quantity of cheese was dis-
posed of, the best Cheddar fetching 72s per cwt,; other
sorts of cheese, 56s to 60s. As the Farnham hop fair has
failed, there is every reason for believing the Reading fair
will be much more successful in future years, growers from
the district of Farnham having promised to give it their
support.

THE SILLOTII LIFEBOAT.—This lifeboat, which
belongs to the National Lifeboat Institution, having been.
presented to that society by Miss Burdett Coutts, had its
quarterly exercise on Monday. The officer of coast guard
at the station thus reports:this valuable trial of the boat :
Silloth, Cumberland, Oct. 7. The lifeboat at this station
was successfully launched to-day under most trying cir-
cumstances. We started from Silloth by land at 2.15 p.m ,
and reached Beckfoot at 3 p.m. The wind was ',lowing half
a gale, a heavy sea rolling in, and dead low water. The
horses lied to take the water, and we had to launch the
boat for nearly a mile, over the sand, which was quickly
and cheerfully done. The boat surged so much that one
man was thrown out, but he fortunately received no injury.
Everything went off well, and I can only say that what-
ever may occur we are prepared to go off under any circum-
stances. I have to mention that the coxswain of the life-
boat, John Duff, and the crew behaved in a manner which
called for the highest praise, for had it not been for their
determined resolution and seaman-like conduct the boa t
could not have beef, got off the beach."

messenger of the Great Seal arrived from London on Tues-
day, bearing the writ of the Lord Chancellor of England
for the election of a representative peer in place of the let
