GUILDFORD.

One of the largest and most enthusiastic gather-
ings which has ever been held in the borough of
Guildford took place there on Monday evening in
favour of the. Government Franchise Bill. The
spacious hall was crowded to overflowing, and the
proceedings were characterised by perfect unanimity.
Mr. D. Macdonald, county magistrate, occupied the
chair, and was supported by Mr. Onslow, M.P., and
many gentlemen of local influence. Four resolutions
were adopted expressing cordial approval of the bill,
each of which was proposed by an elector, seconded
by a working man who would come in under the
£7 franchise, and supported by a gentleman of posi-
tion in the county. The second resolution, moved by
Mr. Wursley, seconded by Mr. Godfrey, and sup-
ported by Mr. Onslow, M.P., was as follows :
" That this meeting cordially accepts the bill now
before the House of Commons as an honeSt and
valuable instalment of reform, and confides in the
present Government to follow it up by such mea-
suers that the industry, the intelligence, and the
property of the country may be fairly represented
in the Legislature." Letters were read from Mr.
Bright, M.P., expressing his sympathy with the
megting.ansiSrptiz. Mr,,a.,-u..Prkm.meto suppoft
the bill by every means in their power. The pro-
ceedings terminated with cheers for the cause, and
with groans for Messrs. llorsman and Lowe.

tendance in the flannel market to-day, and only a
small amount of business was done. The cold wea-
ther has had the effect of causing a little demand for
plain goods, but there is most inquiry for fancies.
Buyers, however, are operating cautiously, and are
delaying
ggivi giving
larger orders till the season has ad-
vanced a little further. The Yorkshire goods trade
continues in much the same quiet state we have had
to note for some time. Wools maintain last week's
prices as a rule, but some inferior kinds have been
sold at a slight reduction.
London, England, 1866-04-11

LEEDS-TUESDAY.

The arrivals this week are not large. For good qualities
of either old or new wheat we have had a fair consumptive
demand, at the full prices of Tuesday last, but there is
little inquiry for common qualities. Fine barley as before;
other sorts slow sale. In other articles no alteration. The
average prices for the week ending April 9 were :—Whcat,
47s Old per qr.; barley, 39s ; oats, 28s.

BRISTOL—TUESDAY:
At onr market to-day there was no alteration, except
that there was perhaps a little more inquiry for wheat.

L IVERP 0 OL-T UESDAY.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise have been in-
significant. At this day's market there was a fair attend-
ance of the town and country trade, and more disposition
to buy was evinced. Wheat met with a good consumptive
demand, and in some cases id to 2d per 100 lb advance was
paid for fine qualities. Flour was more inquired for, and
anything offering cheap was readily cleared off. In oats
there was no change to note, but oatmeal was rather dearer.
Beans brought a trifle more money, and barley and peas
sold at fully late rates. Indian corn was more inquired
for, and a good business was done in it at 28s 6d to 28s 9d
per 4801 b for mixed American.

Sp' ants in Horses.

(Front a Correspondent of the Sporting Gazette.)
The celebrated surgeon Abernethy is said to have
attributed almost every malady to a diseased state
of the stomach ; so much so, that the following
anecdote is recorded of him :—A gentleman, the
subject of ulcerated legs, seeking the advice of the
doctor, wished, before entering into detail, to show
him the ulcers, but was abruptly prevented by the
remark, " Never mind your legs, your stomach is
the culprit." To state that the stomach plays a
most important part in the animal economy is super-
fluous. The medizal man is constantly advising his
patients who complain of headache, pains in the
back, &c., to take more exercise, not to eat suppers,
all which advice goes to prove that the physician
considers the digestive organs to be at fault.
In the treatment of most diseases, the practitioner
considers it necessary to cleanse the system. This
is accomplished by the administration of purgatives,
which, by acting on the stomach, affects through
the medium of the nerves the other part of the body
involved in disease.
" The stomach beingmisaffected, which he calls the king
of the belly, because if he be distempered, all the rest suffer
with him as being deprived of their nutriment, or fed with
bad nourishment, by which come crudities, obstructions,
wind, rumbling, griping, &c."—" Burton's Anatomy of
Melancholy."
If such be the case, that the diseased action of
the stomach produces ill effects upon the other
organs of the body, it is our duty to consider
whether the stomach, by its position or construction,
is likely to bring about such a pathological state as
inflammation. The chief nervous influence is sup-
plied to the pneumo•gastric nerve, which, as its
name implies, gives of branches to the lungs, and
arises from that part of the nervous column called
the medulla oblongata, from which it proceeds
downwards to the chest, and therein gives off fila-
ments, which, together with the sympathetic system,
form the pulmonary plexus. After forming these
and other plexuses needless here to be mentioned,
the pneumo-gastric nerve passes into the abdomen,
and therein contributes to the formation of the
semilunar ganglion, whence the stomach, spleen,
and liver derive their nervous force.

The motion was agreed to.
L Eft; ES T ER-S QUARE.
Mr. W. LESLIE asked the First Commissioner of
Works whether there was any intention of causing the en-
closure in Leicester-square to be turned into a garden or
ornamental ground, under the provisions of the Gardens
in Towns Protection Act, 1863 ?
Mr. COWPER said the Gardens in Towns Act of 1863
imposed no new duties on him ; but with respect to Lei-
cester-square, it did empower
,the Metropolitan Board
of Works to deal with that spot, and the Board had pub-
lished a notice that they intended to do so. That notice
had been followed by legal proceedings on the part
of the gentleman who claimed the soil of Lei-
cester-square, and ho had no doubt that cause
would so be decided. With respect to the statue with one
leg and one arm, that was private property, and the owner
of it had Jot taken that decent care of it which he ought to

have done.
TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND).
Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether he would fix a day for the introduction of the bill
for the improvement of the law of landlord and tenant in
Ireland ?
Mr. C. FORTESCITE said he could not positively state
when the bill would be introduced, at all events it would
not be until after the decision of the house on the Fran-
chise Bill.

THAMES.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. - Sarah Smith, a woman of the
town, well known to the police, who has been repeatedly
in custody for disorderly conduct, and once for felony and
acquitted, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with at-
tempting to commit a burglary.

Mr. William Andrews, a joiner, of No. 66, Brunswick-
road, Poplar, stated that last night he was about to retire
to rest when he heard the breaking of glass in the parlour
window, and the catch forced back. He rushed into the
street, and saw the prisoner in custody. He made fast the
window and the catch before he went to his bed-room.

Mr. John Henry Price, of No. 67, Brunswick-road, heard
a noise between a quarter-past and half-past 11 o'clock last
night, and distinctly saw the prisoner and a man running
across the road. He went in pursuit of them, and caught
the prisoner. Her companion escaped.
Police-constable Elton, No. 253 K, said that the prisoner
was well known to him, and that he was not aware she
had ever been convicted of felony. When he arrested her
she said—l did not break the window or put back the
catch ; I camp here to get my living.
The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Knox committed
her for trial.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,053
tons, 300-horse power, Commander W. B. Urmston,
left Sheerness harbour yesterday morning for the
official trial of her engines at the measured mile off
Maplin Sands. The vessel was in charge of Lieut.
Golding, of the Sheerness Steam Reserve ; Mr. W.
W. Williamson, Inspector of Machinery Afloat, and
Mr. G. Blaxland, Chief engineer of Sheerness Dock-
yard, were also present. The engines were in charge
of the chief engineer of the ship, Mr. James Mang-
nall. The vessel, with all her stores on board, and
fully rigged and ready for sea, made six runs on the
measured mile, giving an average result of 9.209
knots per hour. Two runs were also made at half-
boiler power, giving an average of 7.707 knots.
The draught of water forward was 12ft. 10in ; aft,
15ft. Bin. The load on the safety-valve was 201 b.,
and the pressure of steam 201 b: The force of wind
was 2, and the direction S.W. The engines worked
most satisfactorily. There were no hot bearings ;
the boilers generated a good supply of steam, with-
out priming, and the engines and boilers were cer-
tified as being in every respect ready for a length-
ened tour at sea. At the conclusion of the trial the
Barracouta returned to Sheerness harbour, which

she will shortly leave for the West India station.
The repairs of the iron paddlewheel steam vessel

the Government is distinctly pledged to supplement
the present measure by a bill embodying the prin.-
ciple of a redistribution of electoral districts be-
lieves such a measure is absolutely necessary." Mr.
Wright seconded the resolution, and it was supported
by Mr. Hatch and agreed to, as was also a petition
to Parliament in favour of the bill. A public
meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Bishops-
gate Without was held last evening in the large
assembly-room of the Fox and Grapes Tavern,
Primrose-street, for the purpose of adopting reso-
lutions in support of the Reform Bill now before
Parliament. Mr. Henry Parnall took the chair,
and, having opened the business of the meeting,
addresses were delivered by Mr. John Richardson,
C.C., Mr. Taylor, and other influential residents of
the district ; and resolutions were carried declaring
the Reform Bill a just and honest measure, and a
petition was prepared for presentation to Parliament
praying it to pass the second reading of the bill by
a large majority.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LEEDS—TUESDAY.
The arrivals this week are not large. For good qualitietit
of either old or new wheat we have had a fair consumptive
demand, at the full prices of Tuesday last, but there 16
little inquiry for common qualities. Fine barley as before;
other sorts slow sale. In other articles no alteration. The
average prices for the week ending April 9 were :—Wheat,
47s Old per qr. ; barley, 395 31-,d ; oats, 28s.

BRISTOL—TUESDAY.'
At our market to-day there was no alteration, except
:hat there was perhaps a little more inquiry for wheat.

L IVERP 0 OL—T UESDAY.
The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise have been ill"
significant. At this day's market there was a fair attend-
ance of the town and country trade, and more dispositierl
to buy was evinced. Wheat met with a good consumptive
demand, and in some cases id to 2d per 100 lb advance sval
paid for fine qualities. Flour was more inquired for, an
offering cheap was readily cleared off. Iu oatS
athnhieyrtewntgts no change to note, but oatmeal was rather dearer.
Beans brought a trifle more money, and barley and peal
sold at fully late rates. Indian corn was more inquireu,
for,
and a good business was done in it at 28s Ed to 285 o'l
per 480th for mixed American.

THE RUBBL&N BANK FRAUDS.

Vincent Jankowski, 38, a Pole, was charged with un-
lawfully conspiring with Phineas Koche, feloniously and
without having lawful authority, to engrave upon certain
metal plates parts of divers undertakings for the payment
of money to wit, 25 roubles of the empire of Russia. The
prisoner was further charged with having in his possession
46 forged notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia for 25
roubles each.
The evidence produced was to the effect that the pri-
soner was supposed to be connected with the persons who
ware tried and convicted of the same offence some short
time ago. Ile, however, said he had come into possession
of the notes in an honest manner during the Polish rebel-
lion, and the circumstance that led to his apprehension was
his endeavouring to sell the notes for a price much below
the value they represented.
The prisoner was found not guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Lush.)

THE CASE OF THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY'S STEWARD.

Upon his lordship taking his seat in this Court, Mr.
Cole made application, upon the part of Earl Shaftesbury,
that the charge preferred by the noble earl against his
steward, Mr. Waters, for embezzlement, might stand over
until the November sessions, as there was certain pro-
ceedings now pending which rendered it advisable the
case should be postponed.
Mr. F. H. Lewis, for the defendant Waters, did not
oppose the application, as the proceedings in Chancery as
far as they had now gone, were in Waters' favour, but
trusted that he would be let out on his
His lordship said he did not see any necessity for alter-
ing the bail, and directed that the case should stand over
until November, and that the bail of £4,000 should re-
main, the defendant himself in ..£2,C00, and two sureties
in £2,000.
Joseph Ward, a bargeman, was indicted for feloniously
shooting a lad named Joseph Lefley, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner on the
evening in question was quarrelling with some persons
when the boy made some observation from the canal bridge
at Lock-road, Paddington, and the prisoner being highly
incensed at the conduct of the boy went and armed him-
self with a gun, and fired in the direction of where the boy
was standing. The shot took effect in the face of the boy,
by which he has lost his sight.
The learned Judge, in summing up the case, said the
question for the jury was whether the prisoner intention-
ally fired the gun with intent to injure the boy or merely
frighten him.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The learned Judge said it was much to be regretted that
a person of good character should so let his passion get
the better of his judgment, and then inflict the grievous
injury he had inflicted upon the poor boy. He thought it
was a very savage act, and for which provocation was no
excuse. He sliould not be doing his duty in sentencing
the prisoner to a less punishment than seven years' penal
servitude.
