PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY, OCT. 11.—The Lords of the
Admiralty announced their intention yesterday to Sir
Charles Ogle of visiting this port officially to-morrow.
Orders were received on Friday evening by telegraph
from the Lords of the Admiralty, in reply to the report
of the arrival of the St. Vincent, for that ship to r(miin
at the anchorage at Spithead, with orders for Commo-
dore Sir Francis Collier to keep his broad pendant flyirg
on board, and also for Captain Shepherd to continue in
command. Other orders from their Lordships were re-
ceived yesterday afternoon for the St. Vincent to come
into harbour, but as it was too late then for her to come
in, as the tides are neaping, an endeavour will be made
to get her in tomorrow. If unsuccessful, she must re-
ma►n at Spithead until the next spring tides.
The Belvidera provision and troop-ship, Master-Com-
mander Peter Wellington, was undocked yesterday,
when the Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
•Johnston, was docked to repair a trifling defect, prior
to returning to the coast of Ireland for the winter.
The Vengeance, 84, built at Pembroke in 1824, on
the lines of the Canopus, of 2,284 tons, ordered for im-
mediate commission at this port, is intended to be the
flag-lhip on the Irish station, and will probably carry
the flag of Sir Thomas Ussher, who, it will be remem-
bered, we some time since stated would succeed the pre-
sent Commander-in-Chief (Sir HughPigott) on the above
station.

The weather has been for the last few days exceed.
ingly boisterous here, and high tides have committed
much destruction to property along shore. Double and
quadruple fares have been charged nearly every day for
a passage across the harbour either way ; and the
anchorage at Spithead has been signalled by flags from
the Market-house, Gosport, as dangerous for watermen
to attempt to make. The men of war have been at-
tended upon by the Myrtle steamer, Master-Commander
Balliston, their boats being almost useless in conso-
quence of the high sea. Oa Monday, after the court-
martial, it was found that :he officers could not get
back to their ships at Spithead, so violently was the gale.
Yesterday it was similarly heavy, and to-day it bids fair
to increase.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could not allow
it to go on. The defendant was entititled to examine
the plaintiff if he thought proper, and it was quite im-
pcssible to say what turn the case might take so
as to render it essential that the plaintiff should be ex-
amined.

The defendant said he had a particular appointmen
at twelve o'clock.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the plaintiff
could not expect that the defendant should be kept from
his business.

The attorney said he would send for the plaintiff.
The COMMISSIONER said that would not do; for if he
attended, the ease must be adjourced at the •ost of the
plaintiff, as the defendant would not be able to get home
in time.

The plaintiff, however, having arrived, defendant con.
rented to stay.

STOREY V. TONG.
The defendant was formerly a clerk in the Metropo-
litan Railway Junction Company, and is now superin-
tendent of the Victoria Park Cemetery, Bethnal-green.
The claim was for 11/. 165., dqbt and costs.
The defendant said that when he was clerk to the
railway company he had two guineas a week and 2s.
an hour overtime, but his present wages were only 14s.
week.

The plaintiff said there were perquisites.
The defendant—Yea, is. on each funeral, and we have
only had three in three weeks. I asked the plaintiff to
let the account stand for six months, to sce how the
thing answered, and I have great hopes it will in time.
Plaintiff—But you have other perquisites.
Defendant—l may hare, perhaps. lam to have the
use of the grass when it grows; the seed was only sown
in March, and I may starve before it grows into a good
crop. _ _

The defendant, in answer to the Commissioner, said
he was a widower, with a child, and had to pay a person
to take care of it.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he could not
order a larger payment than 4s. a month, and an order
was drawn out for that amount.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKENWE L L.
Alfred Freeman, a young man about twenty years of
age, was charged with stealing one 51. note, seven sove-
reigns, and a quantity of jewellery and other articles the
property of his father, Thomas Freeman. ,
Tho prosecutor, who seemed much affected when giv-
ing his evidence, stated that the prisoner, for the last
three or four years, had been a source of continued an-
noyance to him, not only by his thefts upon himself but
upon lodgers in the house. He had placed the articles
named in a strong box, with a patent lock ; but,
on the 19th of September last, during the absence
of himself and his daughter, the prisoner contrived to
get into the house and break open the lock with a chisel,
and take all out of the box which was of the slightest
value.
In his defence, the prisoner said that he had latterly
set up in business for himself, and his father had pro-
mised to advance him some money to pay his rent, but
having failed to do so, he tried to get the money out of
him in the best way he could.
Mr. COMBE, after commenting upon the levity and
unbecoming insolence evinced by the prisoner towards
his father, committed him for trial.
SOUTHWARK.
John Wahe, an engineer, was charged before Mr.
Seeker with trespassing on the Croydon Railway,
whereby he endangered his life.
Edward Springall, a policeman of the above line,
stated that on the arrival of the train at the station at
Bermondsey-bridge at 7 o'clock, on Saturday evening,
the defendant, who was in a second-class train, jumped
out before it had stopped. Witness asked him for his
ticket, but his reply was that he had none,
and that he would not pay the fare,
itrid when he was urged to do so, he jumped off the
platform on the rail, and ran across the line just as the
Brighton and Greenwich trains were coming in. Wit-
ness, perceiving the danger to which he exposed himself,
as he must have been crushed if he had remained on the
line, ran after him, and dragged him off. The defendant
still refused to pay the fare, and was accordingly given
into custody.
The defendant, in reply, said he was an engineer at-
tached to the Croydon Railroad, and that he was in the
habit of going up and down from New Cross without
paying the fare; that he received wages of 3/. per week
for his work.
The inspector said that it was untrue that the work-
men employed by the company were permitted to go up
and down free ; that if they were, they were always pro-
vided with a written pass for the purpose.
Mr. SECKER said he should inflict a penalty of 102.,
or in default commit him for 14 days.

IE LATE FIRE and LOSS OF LIFE
IN KENT-STREET.
CORONER'S INQUEST.
Yesterday forenoon an inquest was held at the Royal
Standard, White street, Borough, on the body of Ellen
'Sharp, aged 18, who lost her life at the recent fire in
Kent-street, occasioned by an explosion of fire works,
a full account of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday.
Mr. John Sharp, the father of the deceased, had leTt
the house shortly before the explosion. On his return
he found the house on fire. The body of the deceased
was pointed out to him in the front shop. She was in a
sitting position. There were some fireworks in the
drawer under the counter near the spot wh(re deceased
was found. When witness went out, all the children
were employed with his wife in tying up squibs.
After hearing other evidence, the jury returned a
verdict of "Accidental Death; at the same time the jury
consider the conduct of Mr. Sharp highly censurable, in
permitting the manufacture of fireworks by children in
a ni-ighbourhood so densely populated."

DISTRESS IN IRELIND.—On Sunday evening, a
public meeting, which was numeretisly attended, was
held at the City Lecture Theatre, Milton-stret t. Crip-
plegate, to aid the exertions of the Rev. Mr. Rush, of
Gala ay, who is now in this country to raise subscriptions
for a fund for the relief of his distressed countrymen.
The chair was taken by the Rev. Mr. Jauch, pastor of
the German Catholic Church, in St. Thomas Apostle.
In the course of the evening sane pathetic descriptions
were given of the existing- distress, and interesting ap-
peals were made by the several speakers, which were
liberally responded to.
PAPERING A PLAceor WOBSIIIP.—A novel and
unusual mode of decorating a place of worship has been
displayed in the papering recently of Bridge-street
Chapel, Bristol.

Rotterdam ... 70 ...... YARMOUTH.
80 200 .....
The cattle imported into Plymouth from. France were in
very bad condition, and disposed of at low prices; but those
at Yarmouth were of fair average quality, and were sold, the
Beasts at from 9 to 10 guineas, the Sheep from 36s to 40s
each, chiefly for grazing purposes. Owing to the non-arrival
of several vessels from Holland laden with stock—for the
safety of which fears are entertained—we had a very limited
supply of both foreign Beasts and Sheep on sale to-day,
viz., 220 of the former, and 500 of the latter, the whole of
which sold at higher prices. With home-fed Beasts we were
but moderately supplied; hence, the Beef trade was active,
at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, and a good
clearance was effected. From the northern counties we re-
ceived about 1,800 Short-horns ; from the western and mid-
land districts, 700 Hereford,, Runts, Devons, &c.; and from
other parts of England, 300 of various breeds. The numbers
of Sheep were much less than those exhibited for many
weeks past. The Mutton trade was, therefore, very brisk,
at a further improvement in value of fully 4d per 81bs, and
the whole of the supply was readily cleared off. For Veal
we had rather a sluggish demand, at last week's prices. In
Pigs a steady business was doing, at late rates.

TERMINATION of the SILK GLOVE
MAKERS' STRIKE AT DUFFIELD AND PRO-
CEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCI-
ATION OF TRADES.
(From the Derby Reporter.)
We are informed that this strike has at length come
to a termination, in consequence of the National Asso-
ciation not being favourable to the men's proceedings.
Various meetings have been held, and a regular corre•
spondence has been carried on betwixt the two parties.
Mr. Gimblet, one of the board of directors, has also at-
tended their meetings, where he stated that as his mis-
sion was not direct upon their business, he could cot
possibly interfere with their case ; but he had no hesi
tation in saying, that as soon as their grievance should
have been fully investigated, he had no doubt but that
they would support them during their strugale, if not to
the fullest extent, which would have bren Bs. per week.
Under these ideas, the decision was awaited for with
the greatest anxiety both by the men on strike and the
different trades in other localities, as a teat whereby the
objects of this boasted association should be proved; but,
although notice had been given at the first commence-
ment of the strike, yet it was not until nearly the lapse
of a month that a decisive answer could be got, although
repeatedly requested for their decision, but only to be
answered by letters as evasive as they' were decisive.
With these proceedings the men began to feel their ex-
ctations fail, and that they had become the dupes of
London delusionists. Accordingly, a letter was ad-
dressed to the Hon. T. S. Dnncombe, president of the
association, when an answer was returned, assuring the
any
men on strike that it was with extreme pain that they
had to inform them that they could
assistance, as they had not held in strict compliance
Lot render them
the rules of the association, which requires a fortnight's
notice prior to any strike taking place, notwithstanding
the impossibility
of complying with this rule without es-
tablishing the infringement in other districts had been
given at the first commencement. The men, driven to
the utmost extreme of want, have therefore gone to
work, denouncing the association as delusive and un-
worthy of support. The fact is, Messrs. Ward and Co.
had bee a petting in less work than others, and it was
on their insisting on having the same put in as other
manufacturers, that the men struck. It appears some of
the more active, who are the leaders in striking, told
the men they would get Bs. a week from the union.
They waited about three weeks, and finding no cash
forthcoming, at once admitted they had no cause of
complaint against Messrs. Ward and Co.; that they had
only asked for what other manufacturers were doing and
requested, and hare received work out, to be made in the way it was proposed when the strike was made.
