ROBBEILY BY JUVENILE THIEVE3.—George Warner, a
lad about 13 years of age, 'ffl a s brought before Mr.
Combe charged with being concerned, with another lad
not in custody, in stealing a purse containing 4/. 103.
in gold and 6s. in silver from the person of Ann Hensley,
under the foitewing daring circumstances.
The prosecutrix, the wife of a tradesman residing in
Kent-street, said that on the previous night, about ten
o'clock, she was standing near her husband's shop look-
ing at a disturbance that took place between two females,
and suddenly she felt a tug at her dress pocket. She
immediately got out of the crowd and pnt her hand in her
pocket, when she missed her purse containing 41. Mb.,
which she had safe a few minutes previous. She after-
wards received information that the prisoner and ano-
ther lad were behind her, and that the former was seen
to withdraw his hand from her pocket, consequently she
gave information to the police, and he was taken into
custody. At a late hour in the night a girl brought her
3/. 163. Gd., which she said was a portion of the stolen
property taken from the other lad.
Jane Edwards said she As sent on an errand by her
mother about 10 o'clock on the previous night, when
she saw a crowd in Kent-street. She stopped a minute
or two when she saw the prisoner and another lad be-
hind Mrs. Hensley. The prisoner put his hand in her
pocket and took something out, when they both ran
away. She told the prosecutrix what had occurred.
Police constable 185 L said he took the prisoner into
custody, when he denied having stolen the money, but
said that another lad was the thief. Witness understood
that the prisoner as soon as he had obtained the-money
handed it to another who ran home with it, and his mo-
ther hearing of the robbery searched him and found
3/. les. Gd. on him, which she immediately sent to the
prosecutrix.

THE MURDER AT FERMOY.

Charles M'Cready, the soldier who was convicted
last week at Cork Assizes of the wilful murder of
Seijeant M'Guinny, of the 68th Light Infantry, was
yesterday afternoon put forward to receive sentence.
The prisoner was perfectly calm and unmoved.
Baron Greene, in a touching address, pronounced
the last judgment of the law. During the course of
the delivery of the sentence the prisoner seemed
to be the only person in the court unaffected by
the solemnity of the occasion and the touching ad-
dress of the learned judge, who himself was deeply
moved during its delivery. At its conclusion the
prisoner, without assistanfT, stepped lightly and
firmiy from woplae.. whdre he had stood, and was
immediately convoyed to the county gaol, where
he will await his execution. The usual formality
of wearing the black cap was dispensed with by the
learned judge on this occasion. It is understood
that the execution is to take place on Monday, the
22d September.

THE POTATO.

The Cork Examiner—a careful and reliable
authority upon the subject—supplies the following
information respecting the state of the potato crop
in that extensive district :

" With regard to this crop we have had information
from the districts of Kenmare, Bantry, Skibbereen,
Millstreet, Clonakilty, and Bandon. Between Cork and
the latter town we can state,'from personal observation,
that everything is as promising as could be wished, but
that between Clonakilty and Bandon there is consider-
able evidence of blight to be seen. In no cases, how-
ever, that we have observed has th• disease gone to any
greater extent than the blackening of the leaves. In the
immediate neighbourhood of the town of Kenmare we
learn that the crop is quite healthy, but between that
and Bantry evidences of disease have appeared. Again,
about Bantry there aro no indications whatever of
blight, while between that town and Skibbereen, and
in the immediate neighbourhood of Skibbereen, consi-
derable manifestations of disease have appeared. About
Millstreet nothing, we are told, could be finer or more
healthy than the appearance of the crop."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.—The contest
this day for Prince Albert's Cup was a most exciting one.
The four yachts started at 10 a.m., with a nice breeze
from S.E., the Maritana taking the lead ; but in round-
ing the Nab the Extravaganza was first, the Aurora
second. Light and baffling winds, then fresh breezes,
alternately impeded and favoured the yachts. In round-
ing the vessel off Yarmouth the Aurora had the lead
by half a mile, the wind then fresh from the west-
ward ; but it fell off as the yachts ran up to Cowes,
the sternmost vessels holding the breeze the longest.
The Extravaganza passed the Aurora as they neared
Cowes. They had to beat up against an E.S.E. wind
and an ebb tide—the yachts being to appearance but
a slight distance apart, each tacking in turn, the Ex-
travaganza leading, and eventually passing the starting
vessel first by five minutes, the Maritana second, the
Aurora third, the Caprice fourth.
The roadstead is so crowded with yachts that the
owners and masters of the passenger steamers have
published a handbill cautioning yachtsmen to keep an
open channel. It says :—" Masters of yachts and other
vessels are hereby requested not to bring np or anchor
in the navigation of Cowes harbour, as neither the
masters nor the owners of the steam-packets navi-
gating the same will hold themselves responsible for
any damage which may arise by collision or other-
wise."
The Town Regatta is fixed for Monday next ; and

THE ACCIDENT AT GOODWOOD.

Our reporter visited the Chichester Infirmary yester•
day, for the purpose of personally making inquiries into
the state of the injured jockeys. Mr. Elliott, the senior
surgeon, gave him a most satisfactory accosnt. Although
Bartholomew still lies in a precarious condition, yet he
is gradually and surely improving. lie was visited by
his wife on Monday, but did not seem to recognise her.
Little Mundy, who received a frightful comminuted
fracture of the thigh, is progressing most favourably.
Ashmall, Salter, and Hearnden have left the infirmary.
The wants of the sufferers are studiously consulted by
Mr. Holman, the house surgeon, and Mr. Elliott.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.
THE IRISH HEROES OP THE CRIMEA.
The privilege of pronouncing a formal eulogy
upon the services of one' of the Irish regiments en-
gaged in the recent war has worthily devolved
upon the Earl of Carlisle. His Excellency is to
present, in the name of the Queen, a stand of
colours to the 18th (Royal Irish), in lieu of those
honourably ragged banners which they carried into
Sebastopol on the 18th of June last year. The old
colours of the regiment are to be deposited with
solemn triumph in St. Patrick's Cathedral, as
worthy trophies for the example of succeeding
generations of Irishmen. The whole ceremony, it
is said, will be conducted on a scale of splendour
which cannot fail to gratify the national vanity, at
present unnecessarily, irritated by well-meant but
injudicious 'reflections, upon the honours paid by
the people of England to their national eorps.
The reception given by the citizens of Sheffield to
the Royal Irish Dragoon Guards does not look as
if John Bull meant to monopolise in his own per-
son the whole glory of the war in the EaSt.
THE NAVAL SQUADRON AT QUEENSTOWN.

1 This morning's accounts from Cork announce
that at about 4 o'clock on Saturday evening the
squadron which left Queenstown about a fortnight
since arrived in the harbour, and came to anchor in
pretty nearly the same positions they had occupied
before. It apper.rs that their cruise has been, not
towards the west of Ireland, as was thought, but in
the Bay of Biscay. During the whole of Sunday
crowds poured down in every successive train and
steamer to visit those noble specimens of naval
architecture, and were received with great polite-
ness on board the Duke of Wellington, which,
from the repute of its stupendous dimensions,
proved the principal object of attraction. A large
number of the sailors and marines got " liberty,"
and went ashore in every kind of marine convey-
ance.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-Aug. 5.

FRIGHTFUL DRATII AT SHEFFIELD
YESTEaDAr

Shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning a fright-
ful accident occurred at the silver-plating works of
Messrs. Wm. Hutton and Sons, High-street, Sheffield.
The unfortunate victim of the casualty is a girl
named Emma Memmott,
_aged 13, who was em-
ployed to assist in the various occupations of the
works. A few moments before 11 o'clock she was
engaged at a lathe making up some finished articles
when a shaft which runs underneath the lathe
caught her dress. Tne place where she was caught
was at the coupling point, and so firm was the hold
which had been taken that her efforts to disentangle
herself were fruitless. She screamed aloud to a man
named Birks, at work close by, who ran to her assist-
ance. A strong iron bar, whish had been placed in
front of the lathe, had enabled her to withstand the
drawing of the shaft, and Birks who took hold of her,
feeling she was being dragged from his grasp, called
lustily for assistance, and for the engine to be stopped.
In another moment, however, the poor girl was dragged
from his arms, the strong iron bar bent, and the body
literally twisted around the shaft, which was revolving
at the rate of 300 times a minute. It was about a minute
before the engine was stopped, and then the mangled
corpse was shocking to look upon. Though it was well
known that the girl was dead, yet the men who extri-
cated her from the shaft hurried her to the infirmary,
but the attention of the surgeon was fruitless.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WELLs, AUG. 4.

WIFE MURDER.
James Ford was indicted for the wilful murder of his
wife, Sarah Ford, at Publow, on the 30th ult.
Mr. Prideaux appeared for the prosecution ; the pri-
soner was undefended.
The prisoner and his wife were labouring people, re-
siding at Publow, in this county and the deceased woman
had for some years worked for Mr. Daniel Charles Wait,
a farmer. On the 30th of July Mr. Wait was married,
and he gave an entertainment to his workpeople on the
occasion. Among the persons invited was the wife
of the prisoner. From some reason or other, in which
jealousy appeared to have a share, the prisoner was
annoyed at his wife's going, and used several threaten-
ing expressions respecting her. He went to the King's
*rine public-house and drank to a considerable extent.
One of the deceased's sisters seeing the state of excite-
ment the prisoner was in, sent for his wife to come
and pacify him. She came accordingly, and endeavoured
to persuade ber husband to go home. He refused, and
struck her two violent blows. The woman got away from
him and went into the tap room. No other persons were
present, but the landlady heard some violent talking,
followed by two heavy blow, and the moment she got
into the room she saw the deceased lying dead upon the
flo .r with her head under the table, which was hooped
with iron. The prisoner who was somewhat sobered by
the event, being remonstrated with by some of the neigh-
bours, and asked how he could use his wife in such a
manner, said he would serve the whole lot the same,
and previously to that he had used expressions of ill-sill
towards his wife. Mr. Collins, of Chew Magna, and Mr.
R. Crisp, house surgeon of the Bristol Infirmary, made a
careful post mortem examination of the body, and hau
no doubt whatever that death was caused by concussion
of the brain, resulting from a blow, which had driven the
woman's head against some substance like the table
which was in the room where the occurrence took place.
These facts having been proved by various witnesse.,
the learned judge expressed his opinion that the case did
not amount to murder, and the jury almost immediately
found a verdict of manslaughter.
His lordship, in passing sentence, said that if a case of
wife murder had been established he would certainly have
passed the extreme sentence of the law, which in all pro-
bability would have been carried into effect. As it was
he should inflict the heaviest penalty, viz., transports•
tion for life.

MARKET NEWS.—<This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most-of the country markets heid on Saturday were
moderately supplied with wheat, for which the demand
ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Barley was very dull, on
lower terms. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were all rather
in favour of buyers.

The continental markets continue heavy, and prices con-
tinue to give way. The supplies of wheat have rather in-
creased. Large quantities of grain continue to be shipped
to Europe from the United States.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of home produce
were rather on the increase. From abroad we received
43,551 qrs of wheat, 14,762 barley, 25,611 oats, 2,321
beans, 1,170 peas, 909 tares, 12,070 linseed, 870 rapeseed,
967 sacks, and 9,879 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was only
moderate ; kut there was a slight improvement in the
general condition of the samples. Owing to the large im-
ports from abroad, millers purchased English qualities
with great caution, and the trade was dull in the extreme,
at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of
from 4s. to ss. per quarter. At that amount of depression
very little progress was made in sales.
There was a very large quantity of foreign wheat in the
market, and some anxiety was manifested by the impor-
ters to sell, owing to high rates of discount. A few tran-
sactions took place, at 2s per quarter less money, and the
trade ruled exceedingly dull.

In boating cargoes of wheat no sales took place.
The supply of barley was large, and the trade ruled at 18
to 2s per quarter less money.
Malt sold slowly at barely late rates.
There was an immense show of Irish and foreign
oats, consequently the trade was dull. Fine old corn
realised about previous rates, but new qualities were is
to 2s per quarter cheaper.

Beans were very dull, and 3s to 4s per quarter cheaper
;han on Monday last.

In peas very little was doing, at 2s per quarter less money.
We had a dull sale for flour, and prices were drooping.
London, England, 1856-11-24

NEUCHATEL.

Mr. James Fazy, of Switzerland, has addressed
a letter to the editor of the Siecle on the subject
of certain allegations made in several Paris journals
on the subject of Neuchatel. The writer positively
denies that the treaty of the Congress of -Vienna in
1843 has any bearing on the subject of Neuchatel,
inasmuch as Switzerland took no part in that Con-
gress ; and moreover asserts that Prussia has no
right to that canton, as the King of Prussia on the
15th Feb., 1806, ceded the principality of Neu-
chatel to France, with all the other districts and
places which did not actually form part of Prussia
Proper. His letter concludes as follows :
"I repeat that the treaties of 1815 have nothing
whatever to do with the question of Neuchatel,
which is entirely confined to the internal polity of
Switzerland. I maintain that, even in the point of
view of treaties, the King of Prussia cannot invoke the
text of any one in his favour in order to warrant the in-
tervention of other Powers. To those treaties themselves
I only accord the relative value which Austria, Russia,
and Prussia have attached to them in annihilating the
republic of Cracow ; France in four times changing her
internal government ; and Belgium in separating herself
from Holland."

Another letter from Vienna, in the New Matz-
burg Gazette, says :—" Sir Hamilton Seymour re•
cently gave to our Cabinet the positive assurance
that England would not undertake anything with
regard to the Neapolitan affair, of a nature to
serve the projects of the revolutionary party in
Italy, or to disturb the tranquillity of the Penin-
sula. It is positively stated in diplomatic circles
that France has undertaken to mediate between
Denmark and the two German powers in the
affair of the Duchies."

A letter from Vienna, in the Weser Gazette,
says :—" A pamphlet, published in French, is
handed about in diplomatic circles here, which con-
tains an apology for the conduct of Naples, and
indicates some reforms which that government
might effect. Among them are mentioned the ap-
plication of the military conscription to Sicily; the
formation of military colonies for veterans and
invalided soldiers ; the calling in of the copper
coinage; the substitution of charges d'affaires for
ambassadors ; changes in the customs tariff ; the
release of Poerio, d:c. It is thought that this
pamphlet emanates from an official source."

The general quality of the foreign beasts at hand since
this day se'nnight has been tolerably good. The sheep
have come to hand in fair condition, and the calves con-
tinue of excellent quality.
The supplies of foreign stock in to•day's market were but
moderate.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning wore tolerably good as to number,
but their general qu,dity was by no means first-rate. For
the best Scots and short horns we had a fair demand, at
last Monday's quotations, the top figure for the former
breed being 4s Iod per 81bs ; otherwise the beef trade ruled
heavy, and prices were a shade lower.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,020 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; from Scot-
land, 130 Scot', and from Ireland, 700 oxen.
We had a better show of English sheep, but that of
Irish and foreign was comparatively small. The best
Downs and half-breds were in fair request, at full prices ;
but other kinds of sheep moved off heavily at a decline in
value of 2d per 81bs.
There was only a moderate number of calves in the mar-
ket; nevertheless, the veal trade ruled rather heavy, at
Friday's decline in value. The highest price was 6s. per
81bs.

Pigs were in moderate supply and fair request, at laal
week's cure ncy.

NEUCHATEL.

Mr. James Fazy, of Switzerland, has addressed I
a letter to the editor of the Siecle on the subject
of certain allegations made in several Paris journals
on the subject of Neuchatel. The writer positively
denies that the treaty of the Congress of Vienna in
1843 has any bearing on the subject of Neuchatel,
inasmuch as Switzerland took no part in that Con-
gress ; and moreover asserts that Prussia has no
right to that canton, as the King of Prussia on the
15th Feb., 1806, ceded the principality of Neu-
chatel to France, with all the other districts and
places which did not actually form part of Prussia
Proper. His letter concludes as follows :
"I repeat that the treaties of 1815 have nothing
whatever to do with the question of Neuchatel,
which is entirely confined to the internal polity of
Switzerland. I maintain that, even in the point of
view of treaties, the King of Prussia cannot invoke the
text of any one in his favour in order to warrant the in-
tervention of other Powers. To those treaties themselves
I only accord the relative value which Austria, Russia,
and Prussia have attached to them in annihilating the
republic of Cracow ; France in four times changing her
internal government ; and Belgium in separating herself
from Holland."
London, England, 1856-11-24

to choose a man for the office such as they would
select to be their own executor. (Hear.y He repeated
what he had before stated, that if Mr. Malins was
elected it would be by a mistake, and he was prepared
to prove by hundreds of letters that if Mr. Matins
was elected he would be so elected by pror.cies,
which had been obtained from the shareholders
from being chairman of the Railway Reform EL9BO-
- and under the belief that they were to be
used for other parties, and not for himself. (I7proar.)
The speaker continued his remarks amidst the greateist
confusion, during which he resumed his seat.
After a short discussion relative to the reception of
proxies,
The CHAIRMAN said;he had nothing to do with the re-
ception of proxies. His duty was simply to take a show
of hands on the question of who should be elected to fill
the vacant seat at the direction.
The name of Mr. Malins was then submitted to tl‘e
meeting, when 39 hands were held up.
The name of Mr. Love was then put from the Chair,
and nearly the whole of the persons present—upwards
of 300 —held up their hands.
The Chair then, amidst loud cheers, declared that Mr.
Love had been elected to the vacant seat.
A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Malins.
The CfIAIRMAN then announced that the poll would
be opened immediately, and continue so during tomor-
row and Wednesday, and on Friday at one o'clock the
result of the poll would be officially declared.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the
proceedings.

SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 17th have arrived.
The Gazette announces in a few lines the insurrec-
tion at Malaga, and says that it took place at a
moment at which the garrison was being changed,
in order to relieve some of the garrisons in Africa,
and it admits that the insurgents cried " Vivo la
Republica !" The Espana, however, on its part
pretends that the real cause of the rising was not
known, but that it was supposed that it was to
favour smuggling. This journal says that the num-
ber of soldiers wounded was eight, and that the
insurgents had from 15 to 20 wounded and three
killed ; the Gazette does not say what the loss of
the troops was, but states that that of the insur-
gents was five killed and " some" wounded. The
Captain-General, after the rising was suppressed,
published a very severe bando, and gave orders
that the insurgents taken prisoners should be tried
by court-martial.
