WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE
ELECTION.

GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.—This day was
appointed for a festival to be held here, to celebrate
the return of the Hon. Grantley, Berkeley for West
Gloucestershire. Shortly after noon a party of gen-
tlemen, with rather an imposing display of flags and
banners, and a brass band, left the residence of Mr.
Balme (Elton-house, in this city), and proceeded to
Wotton, accompanied by Mr. T. G. Clayton, of
Bierley-hall, near Bradford, Yorkshire, who was to
have been the second Liberal candidate if the Conser-
vatives, taking advantage of the Berkeley feud, had
brought forward a second candidate on their part.
At Wotton the cavalcade met Mr. Grantley Berkeley,
and then, returning to Gloucester, proceedei with hint
in triumph about the town, the church bells ringing
merrily. The procession was not large. Mr. G.
Berkeley himself rode at the head of it, next after the
flags and music, followed by seven other gentlemen
on horseback, and after these ewe five vehicles of
various descriptions filled with friends and partisans
of the Hon. Member. He was received respecttully,
but rather quietly ; it could not properly be said that
he was enthusiastically welcomed. Arrived at the
Albion Hotel, he briefly addressed the 400 or 500
persons who had followed him there, and, after thank-
ing them, retired to a pavilion erected in the adjacent
ground, where dinner was laid for about 400 persons.
Nearly 300 gentlemen sat down to this repast ; and a
small party of ladies was accommodated on some
raised seats in a corner of the room. Near the chair
were 4r. W. J. Barber, of kingsland House, Mr. S.
Bromedge, of Lower Stone, Mr. E. Harwood, of Al-
mondsbury,-Mr. R. Berkeley, of Spetchley Park, Mr.
H. Teague, of Coleford, Mr. Bradbury, Captain Ashe,
the Rev. T. M. M'Donnell, of Clifton (who said
grace), Mr. H. W. Hall, Mr. J. Hall, &c.
Letters of apology for unavoidable absence were
read, written by Mr. Drag, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P.,
Colonel Thompson, M.P., Mr. Muntz, M.P., and one
or two others.

The dinner was very well served, and when the last
train left for London everything seemed to promise a
lively and agreeable evening to the party.

THE ST. LEGER.—ButmizioNAm.---The result of
the great St. Leger race was known here at four o'clock.
The interest felt relative to the result was in no way
abated from that of last year, and hundreds congre-
gated around the Derby Railway station, anxious for the
intelligence. Last year Mr. Needham, the superin-
tendent of the railway, in order to accommodate the
public, and at the same time prevent any unfair advantage
being taken of the news, caused the result to be posted
on the gates of the station, where all parties had access
to it. To-day, however, the Telegraph Company had
the management of the business, and
few persons. T
charge con-
finedh the intelligence to comparatively
result, however, was soon known, and no small surprise
was felt on its being known that Van Tromp, Cossack,
and Eryx were the winners.
GRAND FIREWORK GALA TO-NIGHT AT VAVX-
"[ILL.—Mr. Darby, the pyrotechnist, who some weeks
since sustained a very severe loss, by the explosion of
his extensive manufactory in liegent street, Lambeth,
takes a benefit we perceive this evening (Thursday) at
Vauxhall-gardens, when in addition to the ascent of the
giant balloon, the beneficiar e h

prepared a magnificent
SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GkI:DPIEaNYS..--In spite of the
somewhat unseasonable character of the weather yester-
day, these gardens were crowded by a large assemblage
of visitors, attracted by the Royalfr the ea

cultural Society's last show
fruit, and miscellaneous flo o
flowers. They werenof dahlia,
exhibited
in several large tents, erected in various parts of the
ground, and which were thronged throughout the day
by numerous amateurs and admirers of these beautiful
productions of nature. The show consisted chi( fly of
dahlias, many of which were really most magnificent,
both in form and hue. There were also numerous
specimens of fruit and vegetables, among which we par-
ticularlyii. noticed some most gigantic pumpkins.
Up-
wards of seventy prizes were awarded for the bestl)-
specimens of dahlias, fuschias, verbenas, cut flowers,
fruit, &c. The admirable band belonging to the gar-
dens in the evening performed several
se m
lections fro
Rosini, Donizetti, Bellini, and othera masters, in very
excellent style: and ct dusk Gibraltar was beseigtd, and
the Spanish fleet destroyed with the usual éclat. The
beautiful collection of birds and beasts, from every quar-
ter of the world, is in itself well deserving inspection, as
well by the curious as by the naturalist,—it is indeed
most perfect.

There is no truth whatever in the report of the ill•
ness of Alderman Thompson, which appeared in the John
Buil of Sunday. The lion. M, mber for the county of
Westmor:and has for some weeks been at his seat, at

years been in such excellent health.

THE SUN,

DINNER TO THE EARL OF
DALHOUSIE.

mit one word of politics to fall from my lips. The
peculiarity of the position in which I stand is, how-
ever, such that I must beg ycur permission to advert
for a moment in passing to the circumstances in which
that appointment took place.—(Hear, hear.) There
is none of you but will remember that one among the
many wise and sagacious maxims which the great
soldier and statesman whose health you toasted this
evening, has often in his lifetime recorded in his writ-
ings, and of which he himself, from the commence-
ment of his official life to the hour at which I speak,
is a living illustration in his constant devotion to the
service of the Crown and the interests of his country
—you will all remember that the answer which the
Duke of Wellington gave when about to be appointed
to an inferior command was, that he bad eaten the
King's salt, and that he would serve the King in what-
ever capacity he might be invited to do so.—(Ap-
plause.) lam prepared to act upon that maxim. I
have always held that every public man who has once
served the Crown is bound in duty not to withhold at
a future time his services, when invited on public
grounds to do so, provided he can do so without sacri-
fice to the political opinions which he has maintained,
and which he still maintains, as sound and true in his
estimation.—(Great applause.) Twice since their
accession to power have the present confidential ad-
visers of the Crown invited me to give my advice,
co-operation, and aid to her Majesty's Government—
once as a member of the Administration, and once in
another capacity. Twice have these offers been made
to me, and twice have they been declined ; and if the
offer of the assent of the Crown to the appointment
made by the Court of Directors of the East India
Company had been accompanied by the condition
that I should give them political support or should
even observe political neutrality, I should have felt it
my duty once again to have declined.—(Great ap-
plause.) lam sure that there is not a gentleman
who sits at these tables that will not believe me when
I say that I would not consent to sacrifice any of the
political principles which I deem to be sound and pure,
even though it were to place in my hands, as it was
in this case, the administration of an empire.—(Hear.)
I hasten to add that no condition whatever was an-
nexed to this office.—(Great applause.) lam bound
to say, and even though I were not bound to say it I
would hasten to say it with pleasure and gratitude,
that it was impossible for any men to have behaved
more frankly, more confidentially, and more honour-
ably towards me than her Majesty's advisers did
throughout all this matter.—(Cheers.) When the
assurance was given me that the acceptance of this
appointment would leave me in entire and unques-
tioned possession of my own personal independence in
reference to party politics—when I was assured, as I
was promptly and unreservedly, that my acceptance
of office would establish no party claims upon me—
then I felt that I was bound to test the principle
which I entertained and had previously enunciated;
and I at once resolved to risk the misinterpretation
and misconstruction of motives—the risk and pos-
sible loss of the confidence of my old political friends ;
and in addition to this, to sacrifice, as my noble friend
has said from the chair, much personal and domestic
comfort and encroachments on my political position
in this country—even at the sacrifice of every atom
of this, I felt that I was bound, as a servant of the
Crown, to give my assistance to her Majesty's ad-
visers when I was asked to do so, and especially when
asked in times of difficulty and confusion such as
these ; and lat once consented to serve the Com-
pany who so honourably tendered me this office ; and
I rejoice to return to the service of a Sovereign whom
I served before, and who, in the amplitude of her
goodness, had rewarded me so far beyond my deserts.
—(Great applause.) I have thought it right to make
this explanation. It is hardly necessary for me to
state that the moment that I assume the government
of India politics are unknown to me. Party politics,
above all, while I administer the government of that
kingdom, have no existence in my mind.—(Great
applause.) I feel most deeply the great and distin-
guished honour which has been imposed upon me in
the appointment which I have received ; and 1 am
most keenly alive to the tremendous responsibility
which has, in consequence, been conferred on me. At
times—and who marvels that it should be so?—at times
I feel a more than doubt of the sufficiency of my ca-
pacity and my experience for the gigantic task which
has been laid on my shoulders. But when I recol-
lect that I have every reason to believe that I shall
receive from those who appointed me, and from the
Ministers of the Crown, full and unreserved confidence
in the discharge of my duty; and when I recollect the
numberless able and distinguished, the numberless wise
and gallant and excellent men who crowd the ranks
of every branch of the noble service of the East In-
dia Company, I return to a feeling of confidence
that, guiding and correcting my judgment by their
advice, and leaning in well-founded confidence on
their aid and co-operation, I shall be enabled, by
God's blessing upon my administration—upon which
even in such an assembly as this, I will not be de-
terred from saying I constantly and hopefully lean
—to administer the affairs of that empire so as to
meet the approbation of those under whom I act, and
thus secure the lasting benefit, the great and perma-
nent improvement of the kingdoms and people whom
they send me to govern.—(Great applause.) Lord
Dalhousie concluded by referring to the public
dinner over which the Duke of Buccleuch presided,
which was given to bis (Lord Dalhousie's) father in
Edinburgh eighteen years ago, on the occasion of his
proceeding to India to take the command of tlye
forces in that part of the world ; and after adverting
to the pleasurable emotions which the expressions of
attachment and approval shown to his father on that
occasion called up in his breast, and to the influence
which it had in encouraging him in the discharge of
his arduous duties, said that the memory of this
evening would have a like effect upon him. No pros-
perity, however bright, should ever dazzle him to
forget it—no adversity, however dark, should ever ob-
scure his thoughts. They had shown him heartsome
cordiality—they had encouraged him in his task—
and had bid him heartily God speed in the course on
which he was about to enter.

On Tuesday night a public dinner was given to
the Earl of Dalhousie, in Edinburgh, on the occa-
sion of his leaving this country to undertake the
duty of Governor-General of India. The dinner
took place in the Music-hall, the walls of which
were tastefully ornamented with flags and devices
of various kinds, while the centre of the room was
lighted up with two splendid candelabras beautifully
festooned with flowers. The gallery was occupied
by the band of the 3d Dragoon Guards, who per-
formed between the different toasts, and the orchestra
was filled with a brilliant company of ladies. The
number of gentlemen who sat down to dinner was
upwards of four hundred. The chair was occupied
by his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, who was sup-
ported on the right by the guest of the evening—
Lord Dalhousie—the Duke of Argyll, Lord Eli-
bank, Lord Dunfermline, the Lord Justice- G-eneral,
Lord Dalreeny, Sir George Warrender, General
Riddell, Principal Lee ; and on the left by the Lord
Provost, the Earl of Morton, Lord Kinnaird, the
Lord Advocate, the Honourable B. Primrose, Sir
John Hope, M.P., Sir. J. S. Richardson, Sir
David Baird, W. Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P., Hon.
and Rev. E. B. Ramsay, Dean of Edinburgh, and
Mr. Maconochie ofd Meadowbank. The duties of
croupier were discharged by the Earl of Rosebery,
who was supported by Lord Polwarth, the Earl of
Devon, Lord Belhaven, Lord Colville of Culross,
Lord W. Douglas, the Right Hon. Fox Maule,
M.P., Sir George Clerk, M.P., the Honourable W.
Dundsis, Sir G. Montgomerie, Sir D. Wedderburn,
Sir C. Monteith, Sir H. R. Campbell, Sir Adam
Hay, Sir C. D. Ferguson, Sir G. M'Neil, the Dean
of Faculty, Sir James Forrest, Charles Cowan,
Esq., M.P., Peter Blackburn, Esq., of Killearn, &c.
After the usual loyal toasts,
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose " The health of Lord
Dalhousie." He said—lt is extremely gratifying to
me to preside as chairman on this occasion. This
meeting, gentlemen, is not one of any political party.
Politics have no business here. This mark of respect
is not given to my Noble Friend with any reference to
his political opinions; and hence we see present a
mixture of men of all parties and opinions, to take
leave of our noble guest upon the occasion of his as-
suming the government of one of the most important
portions of this mighty empire.—(Cheers.) Gentle-
men, this is one of those occasions of which any man
may feel justly proud. We are met to show our
respect and esteem for his private character and
worth ; and at the same time to acknowledge the
great ability which he has displayed in the discharge
of his public duties. He is not going out an un-
known man to India. He is not gcing out an untried
man.—(Cheers.) In private life I can speak with
confidence regarding cur noble guest, as he has for
many years been one of my most intimate friends ;
and I can safely affirm that in private life there is
no man can stand higher than he does.—(hear.)
And, gentlemen, his public character is known to
you all. It is, well known to his country, for he
has given ample evidence of his abilities in the
Senate, more especially in carrying on the business
of a most laborious executive office ; and I believe
I may say, without fear of contradiction, that no
one could deserve a higher meed of praise for the
manner in which he discharged the duties of the
office to which I have referred.—(Cheers.) Allow
me to express our warm feelings towards him, and to
hope that he will enjoy health and prosperity in the
career on which he is about to enter.—(Cheers.) The
government of that vast empire must be attended
with great difficulty, when even in this civilised por-
tion of the globe the duties of the government are so
onerous and difficult. His Lordship, however, has
not only to conquer the difficulties to which I have
referred, but he has this other difficulty to contend
against, namely, that his mode of administering the
affairs of that immense country will have to be com-
pared with such illustrious predecessors as Hastings,
Wellesley, Clive, and others whose memories must
be familiar to you all.— (Cheers.) He has also this
other difficulty, that he goes out with high opinions
formed of him. He will see the difficulties, how-
ever, which his predecessors encountered, and he will
know how they in some cases failed and in others
succeeded. Not only has his Lordship the difficulties
of the civil administration to attend to, but he has
also to contend with hostile foes, fighting mighty
battles, and often with but small means to do so. I
trust that he will imitate the sagacity, the perseve-
rance, and the prudence of him who immediately pre-
ceded him, and who, I trust, has laid the foundation
of a lasting peace in that mighty empire.—(Cheers.) I
trust that his Lordship may be able and qualified to
consolidate that peace, and to promote those great
social improvements which are so much needed in
that vast empire, and that after having spent that time
which may usually be expected of Governors-General
in India, he may return to his native country unim-
paired in health and strength by his arduous duties,
taxing alike both body and mind, and be received by
his old friends whom he left behind him, but whose
hearts he carried out ssith him.

The toast was drank with three times three, and
one cheer more.

The Earl of DALHOUSIE, who was received with
loud applause, said—lt has been my gqod fortune
upon many previous occasions in my career to receive
from friends, and from those among whom I have
lived, many most gratifying marks of the regard and
attachment which they entertained towards me, but
never until now had I a knowledge of the full measure
of friends' and neighbours' kindness—never until
now had I a full knowledge of the utter hopelessness
of the attempt to make a fitting acknowledgment of
it—(Applause)—for as my Noble Friend on my
right (the Chairman) has observed, when I look about
me and see by whom I am surrounded. I find that it
is no party triumph, no occasion of political excite-
ment that has called forth your attachment, but that
you have met for the sole and single purpose of once
again, before I go from among you, offering me an•
other mark of that regard and esteem of which you
have so often assured me before—of tendering me
your testimony that my character as a public servant
has hitherto met with your approbation—(Applause)
—and that you desire, before I go, to breathe and
renew your good wishes for my future prosperity in
my career. When these all come upon me—when it
would seem that my foot was upon the very deck that
is to carry me away—when your voice seems as the
last cheer to waft me from the shore—and when I
know that I have a long and painful separation—
though splendid be the exile, it is an exile still—
believe me that a scene such as this knocks hard at the
door of my heart, and calls forth emotions which make
me feel as if it were impossible that in the expression
of my gratitude there could be any exaggeration, and
makes me painfully conscious that no words can give
a fitting utterance to the real emotions of my heart.—
(Applause.) Pretty, and fanciful, and finical thanks
I would be loth to offer you. Simple thanks is all I
have to tender you ; and I do indeed thank you from
the very bottom of my heart.—(Applause.) If there
were a circumstance more gratifying to me than an
other—more gratifying to my recollections of the
past and of my love of auld Lang syne—it is that you
are met to congratulate me on my noble appointment
in the very place whore I first set out on my political
career—(Great applause)—that as it is in the
city of Edinburgh you are met now, so it was
in the city of Edinburgh that I first entered on my
public life. It is not so long ago hut the youngest of
you may remember that it was in the city of Edin-
burgh that my friends opened my political career.
Not to flatter you, I cannot in my conscience say
that you proved the tenderest of masters.—(Cheers
and laughter.) I must acknowledge that fairly spread
as that cradle was you rocked it somewhat roughly,
although at the time, believe me, gentlemen, you
never did any man a better turn. I recollect when an
old East Lothian voter, at whose door I stopped one
morning—and a cold bitter morning it was—when
setting out to canvass that county, said to me, " A
stout heart, my Lord, to a steep brae."—(Laughter.)
If at any time of my career I have shown a stout
heart, it was you of the city of Edinburgh—you
who cordially supported me, and you also who cor-
dially opposed me—who first taught me how to make
use of that stoutness.—(Applause.) I indeed be-
lieve that if you had accepted me without a contest
as your representative, I would, in all probability,
have turned out a spoiled child, and fit to be trained
for nothing but a carpet knight.—(Great laughter
and applause.) Your treatment of me how-
ever, widely different—for you began by giving nsimean
undeniable and unmistakable thrashing—and
giv-
ing me the wholesome advice, that as soon as Iycouldto thrash somebody else.—(Renewed laughter.) You
sent me into the world hardy and rough, and ready
to fight anybody, until I find myself in the position in
which I am now proud to stand.—(Applause.) I have
never ceased to acknowledge, and I will never cease
to do so, that whatever may have been my success in
public life, the foundation of that success was truly
and deeply laid in the contested election for the city
of Edinburgh. I will not be guilty of the affectation
of pretending not to be able to judge of the measure
of that success. I am proud—most proud—that your
feelings should have called you together on such an
occasion in the life of any public man as that of his
being appointed Governor-General of India. I re-
gard that appointment as one of the very noblest
which it is in the power of the Crown of England to
bestow.---(Rear, hear.) And I regard it with pride
a„n
and with deep gratitude that the Com y who
y ad-
ministers the affairs of that mighty empire should,
utterly unsolicited by me, and with but two or three
exceptions, personally unacquainted with me, have
done me the honour to have selected me to the first
isrpmsparktMhat wondrous empire over which they rule
And I am even the more proud that.

The Noble Lord sat down amidst loud applause.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " Her Majesty's Minis-
ters." Their duties were arduous and their responsi-
bilities great ; and it gave him pleasure to state that
in the appointment of Lord Dalhousie to the Go-
vernor-Generalship of India, they had shown that
they were not influenced by party feelings or predi-
lections. He trusted that all the difficulties of the
Ministry--and no Ministry need hope to exist in this
country without encountering difficulties—would
speedily be overcome, and that they might be enabled
so to act as to promote the honour, the interests, and
the welfare of this country.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Fox MAULE, M.P., returned thanks. Differ-
ing although many of them did in political opinion
with the Government, he believed that there was not
one among them who did not fully sympathise with
the singularly difficult task which the Government
had, in these times, in carrying on the public affairs
of the empire. He was quite sure that her Majesty's
Ministers would feel deeply the honour which had
been conferred upon them. lie knew that they felt
much the support which they had received from men
of all parties when they assumed the reins of govern-
ment, with the horrors ofa famine impending, which the
bounteous hand of Providence had now been pleased to
avert.—(Applause.) He did not deny that he con-
sidered that the Government was entitled, on the
present occasion, to the thanks of all who bore the
of Scotsmen—indeed, of all who looked with
any degree of approbation upon men selected for the
public service, independent of party politics, and re-
commended only by their talents. He viewed the
appointment of his Noble Friend with the sincerest
gratification, and he was convinced that he would do
honour to the Government that had chosen hint.—
(Cheers.) But this, he begged to say, was not the
only instance in which, independent of political party
connexions, her Majesty's Ministers had selected
men
for high administration : as an exemplification of which
he referred to the case of Lord Elgin, who was ap-
pointed Governor of Canada.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Lord Provost and
Magistrates of Edinburgh."
The LORD PROVOST returned thanks on behalf of
himself and brother magistrates, and then proposed
" The Health of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch."
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH shortly replied.

boys were playing at marbles. One of them, in shoo
passing along Fifth-street, he passed a place where some
w
ing his marble cleverly, put it under the gentleman's
foot. The gentleman slipped, and stumbled against a
lady also passing, precipitating her, along with himself,
upon a large hog, who was examining the gutter geolo-
gically for debris. The hog, frightened out of his pro-
piety, bolted off, and ran between the legs of another
gentleman, who, in falling, drew the string of a kite
froul the hands of a boy. The kite of course fell, and in

near by. The horses ran down an alley. A man, who

passed, started up to tee what was the matter, and in
so doing dropped his lighted match among the shavings.
A fire was the consequence. The engines assembled,

in the track of one of them, and had his arm broken,
which ended this budget of accidents for the day."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

John Overston, the person charged with having at-
tempted to kill George Crawley, wine-merchant, of
Mark-lane, was brought up in the custody of Strick-
land, police-constable 582, for final examination.
Mr. Kearsey, solicitor, appeared to watch the case
for Mr. Crawley, but without instructions to prose-
cute, or take any active part in the proceedings. Mr.
Sheard, of St. Paul's-churchyard, solicitor, attended
for the defence.

The prisoner's appearance was greatly altered for
the worse. He had been confined to his bed since
the last day of examination, and had,- we are given to
understand, frequently sent to inquire after the health
of Mr. Crawley, about whose condition he expressed
great anxiety—a feeling which was stated to be not
at all connected with any apprehensions for himself.
He sat on a chair at the bar during the examination;
indeed, he app°ared to be utterly unable to stand.
Mr. George Crawley said—l am a wine-merchant,
of No. 12, Mark-lane. On the 14th of August last,
about four o'clock in the afternoon, my clerk fetched
me to my office. On my arrival I found the prisoner
there. A person named Legge was coming out of the
counting-house as I was going in. When I went in I
addressed myself to the prisoner and asked him if he
wished to speak to me. He nodded his head. I then told
him that if he would step into the inner room I would
speak to him. He went into the inner room, and I
followed him and closed the door. My clerk (Mr.
Yates) was in the outside office when I had returned
to communicate with the prisoner. When I followed
the prisoner his back was towards me. Upon his
turning round he, to the best of my recollection, made
use of the words, " What does all this mean ?" There
were some other words which I cannot remember. I
heard the report of a pistol immediately afterwards,
and found I was shot, and I instantly made my escape.
I found that I was wounded by the side of the nose,
on the face, and I have since had a bullet extracted
from my jaw. The part is, I believe, called the "an-
trum." I only noticed the prisoner give a shake of
the head, instead of answering me. I did not observe
anything particular in the prisoner's conduct, the time
was so short from the moment I went in until the
time of the report.
Mr. Sheard—Are you now so far recovered as to
be able to attend to your business ? Witness—l am
quite recovered.
Mr. Sheard—Did you observe any incoherency
about the prisoner's manner ? Witness—l was but
a very short time with him, and the suddenness of the
transaction was very great, but I think if I had been
more time with him I should have observed that his
language and manner were somewhat incoherent.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you anything further to
add ? The witness burst into tears, and after some
effort said—"l avail myself of this opportunity to
state publicly the deep feeling of gratitude I entertain
towards the eminent Dr. Solly, for the very able and
skilful treatment I experienced at his hands, to whom,
under Providence, I consider my recovery due ; also
to thank most sincerely the other medical officers of
St. Thomas's Hospital for the kindness and attention
paid to my case during the hours of my suffering.
With respect to the prisoner, I have to say that he has
sent to inquire after my recovery very often and
earnestly, and that he has expressed astonishment at
what he had done, and declared that he could not con-
jecture how he could have been stimulated to such an
act."

The prisoner sat with his hands clasped and without
motion during Mr. Crawley's statement.
The only other witness examined was
Mr. Samuel Harris, surgeon, of No. 13, Fenchurch-
street. He said—On the 14th of August Mr. Craw-
ley came to my house, and I was called into the sur-
gery to him. I discovered that he had received a
bullet wound on the right side of the cheek, over the
superior jawbone, and seeing that there was no hre-
morrhage, but that the bleeding had stopped, I advised
him to go directly to the hospital. I only made a su-
perficial examination.
Cross-examined: by Mr. Sheard —I am of opinion
that it was a dangerous wound, but I did nut examine
it sufficiently to give a decided opinion upon that
point. _ _

The LORD MAYOR—Is there anybody here to
prosecute ?_ _ _

Neither Mr. Crawley nor Mr. Kearsay having given
any answer,
The LORD MAYOR said—This case is one of such
vast importance to the public, that I must take parti-
cular care to have it properly laid before the judges,
who must not on such an occasion be put to the
trouVe of managing it themselves. I shall hold the
policemen who apprehended the prisoner responsible
for prosecuting, and I shall give directions to the City
Solicitor to undertake the proceedings in the Central
Criminal Court. I regret very much to see a man,
whose private character has been so highly estimated,
and of whose good conduct until this dreadful occur-
rence I have heard so much, in a situation so truly
appalling; but I have only one course to pursue
I have only to do all I can for the safety of the public.
The depositionswere then read over, and Strick-
land and Edmonds, the policemen principally con-
cerned in the investigation, were bound over to pro-
secute, Mr. Crawley being bound over to appear at
the Central Criminal Court as a witness.

The prisoner was committed to Newgate, and an
order was sent for his admission to the infirmary in
that prison.
George Hayward and William Alexander were
finally examined upon the charge of having forged a
cheque upon the banking-house of Glyn and Co. for
1401.., in the name of John Fenton.

This was the case in which Daniel Forrester, the
officer, supplied the evidence, which would have been
otherwise defective, by searching amongst the papers
of the prisoner day ward, and finding a piece of
blotting-paper on which was distinctly marked the
blot of the name " John Fenton," as it appeared in
the cheque.
The following are copies of the forged cheque upon
Glyn's house, and of the letter by means of which
Hayward obtained the handwriting of Mr. Fenton :
I.

" Messrs. Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co.
" Pay Beresford and Co., or bearer,

" 1401." " JOHN FENTON.

" Sir,—l trust you will excuse my putting you to
so much inconvenience, but, having heard that yOu
have transacted some business for her, I shall be
greatly obliged if you will inform me by return of
post when the Henrietta, of Liverpool, arrived from
Maderia with passengers, &c., the name of her cap-
tain, and where she may now be found; the informa-
tion being of the greatest importance, and not know-
ing to whim else to apply, or I would not so far have
trespassed on your valuable time, for which I beg to
offer every apology.
" I am, Sir, your humble servant,
" CHARLES SMITH.
" John Fenton, Esq., Mark-lane."

The answer to this a letter was transmitted by Mr.
Fenton to Mr. Charles Smith, in Wormwood-street,
and was handed by the landlord of the house (a coffee •
house) to Hayward, who personated Mr. Charles
Smith, and had obtained permission of the proprietor
to have a letter so directed to him. The handwriting
of Mr. Fenton was closely imitated in the checque.
Alexander was identified as the person whochanged
a 501. note, received in payment of the forged cheque,
and put upon it, " William Hammond, 11, Baldwin-
street, City-road," as his name and address, and had
been seen frequently by Daniel Forrester in the com-
pany of Hayward.
The prisoners were committed for trial. _

Hayward was then charged finally with having
forged a cheque upon Jones Loyd's banking-house,
for 891. 45., in the name of Mr. T. H. Peile.

The evidence in this case, with the exception of
that of Mr. Peile, was taken down some days ago.
Mr. Peile stated that the handwriting in the cheque
was very like his, but was not his. Hayward had, it
appeared, been turned away from a former situation
for opening
a drawer, an offence of which he acknow-
ledged himself guilty.—Committed for trial.

on a previous day with attempting to poison herself
with laudanum, was brought before Ir. Alderman
Hooper. She appeared to be perfectly recovered, and
!?romised that she would never make such a wicked
attempt again. Her husband, whose drunkenness
was said to have driven the prisoner to the desperate
resolution of poisoning herself, was called forward.
The husband pleaded that he did not often get very
drunk, and that his wife was not in want of food.
Mr. Alderman HOOPER lectured him on his duties
as a husband, and delivered his wife to him.
BOW-STREET.

Yesterday a young man named John Edwards, of
respectable appearance, who was understood to be
'ell :connected, was charged with stealing a great-
coat from the Travellers' Club, the property of Col.
Henry Fane.
It was proved that the prisoner passed the door-
porter and went into the library on Sunday evening
with all the confidence of a member of the club, and
after writing a short note, which he addressed to some
supposed " Captain Macdonald," he left the place,
taking with him, however, as it afterwards transpired,
the coat belonging to Colonel Fane, who missed it
from the coffee-room door shortly afterwards.

ACCIDENT AT BURNTISLAND.--On Sunday after-
noon a little boy, named Wilson, was amusing himself
at the turn-tablo at the terminus of the Edinburgh and
Northern Railway, and having succeeded in putting it
in motion, ho put his foot down to check it, but the im-
petus which it had received twisted his foot round,
crushing it very severely, and broke his leg a little above
the ankle. Not long ago a brother of the little boy fell
over the pier at Bruntisland, and was so injured that his
life was longl:ospaired of.—North British Mail.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVEN'ING, SEPTEMBER id, 1847.

A girl proved that the coat had been altered to fit
the prisoner by his order.
There being other charges against the prisoner,
Dlr. JARDINE remanded him for further exami-
nation.

the handcuffs on his wrists. The witness, who had
been severely kicked and scratched, added that he
never met with a more desperate and violent man.
John Douglass, police-constable 279 K, who nar-
rowly escaped being drowned, and was much punished,
gave similar evidence.
Mrs. Jane Wells, a woman apparently about 27
years of age, then deposed that she was married to
the prisoner at Christ Church, Rotherhithe, on the
26th of October, 1845. He began to pay his ad-
dresses to her about July, 1845, and said his religious
notions were exactly the same as her own. She
afterwards heard something to his prejudice, which led
to an explanation with him and his two sisters. She
informed him that she had heard he was married to Ann
Warwick, and that while she was alive he married.
Mary Ann Abrahams, who had since died. He said
he had suffered for that, and the punishment he had
undergone had annulled the first marriage, and that
he could relieve her (the witness) of all fear, and
himself of all risk, on that account. He solemnly
assured her that she could be legally married to him,
and that Judge Cresswell, who had tried the case, said
he was a free man, and at liberty to contract another
marriage. He also stated that he had consulted a
proctor, and laid the whole case before him ; and that
he was of the same opinion as Judge Cresswell. His
sisters afterwards forwarded a letter to Barnard-
castle, and found that Ann Warwick (Mrs. Sinclair)
was still alive. He was very much troubled when he
received that information, but he assured witness it
was no matter, for he left his wife at the church door,
and never saw her afterwards. The prisoner strongly
denied the fact of the first marriage until his sisters
informed her of it ; and, when she made him acquainted
with it, he took great pains to convince her the first
marriage was invalid, and that his trial and punish-
ment qualified him for another marriage.
Mr. rearnley—Then the fact is, Madam, you mar-
ried him knowing his first wife was living, and the
second one dead ? Mrs. Wells—Yes, Sir, that is so;
but he solemnly declared the first marriage was illegal,
and he suffered for the second.

Mr. Pelham—Did he not tell you that he had
been to a proctor, and to Judge Cresswell, before you
married him ? Mrs. Wells—Yes, Sir. He said he
had been to a proetor and a solicitor. The proctor
said the marriage with me would be illegal ; and he
therowent to another, who said, the proctor who told
him that only wanted to get his money to sue for a
divorce, and that he could marry me. He offered to
take me to Judge Cresswell's house, to remove all
doubts. He obtained my consent to the marriage on
his representations and upon the express understand-
ing that it should be kept secret until I could be
acknowledged as his wife ; but after it was solemnised
he made it known to everybody.
Mr. YARDLEY.—Then the marriage was a clandes-
tine one ? Mrs. Wells—Yes, Sir, quite so.
In cross• examination by Mr. Fealrney, Mrs. Wells
said, she was living with her mother. Mr. Sinclair
paid his addresses to her as a widower, and his ad-
dresses were sanctioned by her mother. After the
prisoner's sisters informed her that he had a wife
living her mother advised her to break off the match.
She was not engaged to any one at the present time,
nor had she any thoughts of marrying another man.
A gentleman had paid honourable attentions to her
since Mr. Sinclair had been at sea; but, on her ac-
quainting him with her situation, he discontinued
them. When she gave up the prisoner, and learned
that her marriage with him was illegal, she deter-
mined not to enter into another matrimonial engage-
ment, and had not done so.
In answer to a question by Mr. Pelham, the wit-
ness said it was at first arranged that her wedding
and her sister's were to be solemnized on the same
day, but after what she heard of the prisoner, it was
thought advisable to solemnize her own marriage
privately.
Mr. Fearnley asked the witness if the marriage
had been consummated, and if she and the prisoner
had ever lived together as man and wife ?—Mrs.
Wells evaded the question by stating that she never
left her father's house, and hoped the solicitor would
not be more particular with her.
Mr. Fearnley—Have any children been the fruits
of the marriage ? Mrs. % ells—No, Sir.
Mr. Fearnley—Who advised you to give him up
to justice ? Mrs. Wells—My brothers, Sir; and he
has been trying to obtain—
Mr. Fearnley—Never mind what he tried to ob-
tain. The case is very different to the one set up.
Instead of Mr. Sinclair using every artifice to deceive
the widow, she married him with the full knowledge
that his first wife was alive.
Mr. Pelham would be enabled to show that the
most abominable artifices had been used. Mr. Jus-
tice Cresswell, whose name had been so freely men-
tioned by the prisoner, was not called to the bench
when Sinclair was convicted in 1837.
Mr. YARDLEY said the case was a fit one for re•
mand, and after some discussion between the solici-
tors, consented to accept of bail for the prisoner's
appearance on Wednesday next, himself in 2001.,
and two sureties of 1001. each, and in default com-
mitted him to prison.

are not yet on board. She is beautifully rigged, and
is beyond question as fine and efficient a command as
any captain need have. He is equally fortunate in
his working staff ; a more indefatigable first lieute-
nant there is not afloat. We shall draw no comparison
between this ship and the Amphitrite, but await the
result of the competing trials. They will sail about
the latter end of this or beginning of next week.

wich, and will be immediately re-commissioned.
The Myrtle steam-vessel is ordered round from
Portsmouth to be fitted with new boilers at this
port.
The Blazer steam-vessel, Commander Wingrove,
at present at Cork, is ordered to be paid off and re-
commissioned.

The Antelope steam-vessel has received on board a
handsome new carriage and a number of presents to
be presented to the Bey of Tunis, as a mark of appro-
bation of his continued friendly disposition towards
this country, and the facility he affords to the royal
and mercantile navy of Great Britain to obtain sup-
plies of all kinds of provisions when they have occa-
sion to touch at any of his ports. The Antelope is to
be paid in advance at Portsmouth.
The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Roberts, is ordered to be paid off, and will be
re-commissioned immediately.
PEMBROKE, MONDAY.—On Saturday, the 11th
inst., the Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Pembroke
dockyard on their annual official visit of inspection.
Their Lordships landed from the Fire Queen steam-
vessel, at half-past 7o'clock A.M., under a salute of 19
guns from Pater Fort. The members of the Board
were Lord Auckland and Lord John Hay, who were
accompanied by Captain Eden and Colonel Irvine.
Having been received at their landing by Captain Su-
perintendent G. T. Falcon and the officers of the yard,
they proceeded to the captain superintendent's resi-
dence, where they breakfasted. After this they made
a minute inspection of the ships on the stocks at this
yard, but more particularly of the Lion, 80 guns,
lately launched, and now in dock in the hands of the
riggers, who are preparing for her removal to Devon-
part ordinary. Their Lordships visited every part of
this fine ship, and seemed much struck with the beauty
of her general appearance. Pater Fort, the saw-mills,
the new practice battery for the artillery of the Dock-
yard Battalion (which is mounted with four long 32-
pounder ship guns), the timber sheds, saw-pits, mould
loft, armoury for the battalion, containing about 1,200
stand of arms, &c., were successively examined by
their Lordships. This, together with Lord Auckland's
levee, at which he received severirl officers employed
the whole of the day.
Their Lordships spent the next day (Sunday) at
Picton Castle, the seat of Lord Milford, and on Mon-
day, the 13th, resumed their official duties at the
dockyard.
At 11 A.M. they landed at the principal landing
place, and were received by a guard of honour com.
posed of the Ist company of the Dockyard Battalion,
commanded by Captain Weatherley (Lieutenant,
R.N., director of police).
Notice having been given on Saturday of their Lord-
ship's intention to review the battalion, it was drawn
up in readiness along the main road, leading from the
dockyard gates to the water-side, and being newly
clothed in their fatigue uniform, presented a very im-
posing and military appearance. On arriving at the
parade, their Lorships were saluted by the guns of
the field battery, four 9-pounder guns, and two 24-
pounder howitzers, worked by the first company of
Artillery, under the orders of Captain Kneebone.
Their Lordships and suite, accompanied by the
Captain-Superintendent, immediately proceeded to
take up a position opposite to the centre of the line.
After presenting arms, the battalion, commanded
by Lieutenan t-Colonel Abethell (Master Shipwright),
wheeled into column, and marched past in review
order, first in slow, and then in quick time. Having
been wheeled into line on the original ground, the
battalion was put through the manual and platoon
exercises by Major Chiles (Store Receiver), and
afterwards exercised in firing by companies, in-
depent file firing, &c., under the command of the
Lieutenant-Colonel.

Mr. Gillies, the adjutant of the corps, then gave
the command to countermarch by files, and to form
close column upon the sth company, and marched
the battalion off by companies to deposit their arms.
This battalion is composed of six companies of in-
fantry, two of artillery, and one of Boat Brigade,
each company 84 strong, exclusive of officers, and
non-commissioned officers.
Their Lordships having mustered the whole of the
men of the dockyard, gate them a half-holiday.
The battalion, with the band at their head, marched
out of the yard four deep, in admirable style.
The inspection of the Royal Marines at the new
' barracks by the Admiralty, terminated the official
business of their Lordships at Pembroke Dockyard.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.--The
market today presented no features of novelty. The
demand for all descriptions of yarn and manufactured
goods was on the very lowest scale, and, in some
cases, especially in sales of yarn, rather lower prices
were submitted to by the spinners. Still, we are
happy to say that, considering the unfavourable state
of trade, the failures here are quite insignificant in
number and amount.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13.--.llre have
had a very good demand for flannels to-day, and con-
siderable business has been transacted at last week's
prices. Several of the large manufacturers have been
in the market to-day and bought very freely. The
demand for wool is somewhat better, and prices are
firm.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11._—Although
provisions are so much lower than they were, trade
does not yet revive ; nor can we learn, from the at-
tendance in our piece hall, that there is any prospect
of a speedy change for the better. There is very
little doing, either in plain or fancy goods ; and prices
are exceedingly low. In yarn, the same extreme flat-
ness prevails, which prevents any rally in price. The
stock of long wool is slowly moving off, at easier
rates, though little is coming to market to replace
the sales. Short wools are dull of sale, at previous
prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.—There
is an inclination to do business in all kinds of goods
that have the character of newness of style and good
quality. Considerably more business is doing in
wool than for some time past. The warehouses have
not had many visitors during the week.
LEEDs, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.—The
im-
proved state of our market holds good, and we had,
both last Saturday and to-day, a good attendance at
our cloth halls, and a very fair amount of business
has been doing, chiefly in suitable winter articles, for
home consumption. The disastrous news from Lon-
don appears little to affect, directly, our commercial
community; but, of course, its tendency towards
circumscribing general credit will be more or less
felt.—Manchester Guardian.

DEATII OF AN OLD FIDDLER.—Died at Peebles-
street, -Newton•on-Ayr, on Monday morning, Matthew
Hall, aged 87 years. The deceased was a well-known
character in the west country. He surpassed as a bass-
fiddler. The old worthy used to mention that he was
45 years in the habit of frequenting Coilsfield and
Eglintoun Castle, in his capacity as musician. His
chief co-adjutor was James M`Lachlan, a Highlander,
who came to Ayrshire in a fencible regiment, and was
patronised by Lord Eglintoun. At concerts at the castle,
the late Earl of Eglintoun generally took a part on
the violoncello or the harp, and amongst other pro-
fessional players on the violin, blind Gilmour from
Stevenston was usually present. " 0 time war the
days for music!" involuntarily exclaimed old Hall,
as he proceeded with his reminiscences. Hall and
M`Lachlan played over the whole county at all the gen-
tlemen's residences, and even in Edinburgh and Glas-
gow on great occasions. In one week, to use his own
words, they " passed twenty-six parish kirks, and re-
turned to Ayr on Friday to a ball, never getting to bed
till Saturday night. They obtained snatches of sleep
as they best could during the intervals of playing and
travelling. At one time Hall and M`Lachlan were at
the Duke of Argyll's for six months together.
M•Lachlan had been there before as footman to Lord
John Campbell. It was a time of much festivity; a
blind Irish harper, of the name of O'Kane, was also among
the party of musicians. The harper, conceiving himself
to be eclipsed by the violin players, or fancying an insult
from the Duke of Argyll, left the party, and bribing
some boys to procure materials, actually set fire to the
lower part of Inverary Castle, which would soon have
been in flames, but for the timely discovery of the
rascally act. The incendiary was taken to Inverary
traol, and no doubt met the punishment he deserved.
Mr. Hall's bass• fiddle was a present from the late Coun-
tess of Eglintonn. It is, perhaps, worth mentioning
that he was the first mason ever made by the poet Burns.
