lett, C. R., NV. Moors= C. 8., and W. Crispin ;
prosecutor, Captain Step hen G. Freemantle.
The prisoner was defended by hii "friend," Jas.
Hoskins, Esq.
The deputy judge adv'oeate, William Hellyer,
Esq., having opened the court in duo form, and the
several witnesses having be en examined, the court
was cleared for the defence.

In about an hour the court was re-opened, and
the prisoner read his defence in a clear and firm
manner, and called witnesses to show that ho had.
been labourin.4 under very distressing illness, which
was certified by the doctor of the Juno. The pri-
soner also submitted several certificates from his
commanding cfficm. _

The court was then again cleared, and in about
half an hour war; re-opened, when the Deputy
Judge Advocate delivarel the sentence :
" That the court bad deliberately and maturely
considered the case, and the evidence of the several
witnesses examined for and against, and that the
court considered the charge partly proved of being
negligent while on watck, but that, in considera-
tion of the illness which he was labouring undar,
the court did adjudge the pritioner to be severely
reprimanded—and t is severely reprimanded
::cco.rdingly."

advantage could not be set down at less than 7cl.
a-week. 'Then he got a coat, a pair of trousers,
and a pair of boots every year, a shako every two,
and a greatcoat every three years. He put this at
is. a-week, or 525. a-year. Then he had lodging,
bedding, fuel, light, wad the use of a library, which
he thought would be said to be cheap at 2d. a-day.
His medical attendance, too, at the lowest contract
price would be 21d. per week, and there was a
prospective pension of 10d. after 21 years' service,
and which, according to the Northampton tables,
could not be purchased at less than 2d. a-week.
All this gave a total of 13s. 50., but it did not in-
clude contingent advantages, such as good-conduct
pay, extra rations in hot climates, and rations to
soldiers' wives. But, above all, there was the
chance of promotion to non-commissioned and
commissioned ranks, and such cases were not Po
rare as might be imagined ; the average of the last
12 years, exclusive of the Land Transport Corps,
bad amounted to 36. Ho thought, therefore, it
should be more generally known that we under-
rated the wages of the soldier ; that every oppor-
tunity was afforded for his mental improvement ;
and that with our short servitude of 10 years a
young man of 18 could not do Letter than serve
until he was 23, for he (Mr. Herbert) felt a.-isured
that he would return home more capable of sup-
porting himself, and be a more useful member of
society than before he went out. (Cheers.)

DISGRACEFUL SCENE A.T A FUNERAL.

On Wednesday evening a very disgraceful affair
occurred at Lewes, on the occasion of the interment
of Miss Scobell (a daughter of the Rev. John
Scobell, the rector of All Saints), who had for some
mouths previous to her death been living at Sack-
ville College, East Grinstead, where she died. The
remains of the young lady wore brought from the
college to the Lewes station by train, about half-
past five o'clock in the evening, accompanied by
the chief warden of the college (the Rev. Mr. Neale)
and seven or « ight of the ladies of the sisterhood.
When the coffin, which was a very elegant one,
covered with a large pall, having a cross upon it,
was taken out of the train, a number of the inhabi-
tants of the town collected, and followed the proces-
sion to All Scents Church, the rector and his family
baying joined as it passed Lansdowne-terraee. The
church was crowded, and the burial service was read
by the Rev. Mr. Hutcheson, of Fide. The profes-
sion then moved round the church to Mr. Scobelt's
family vault. At the close of the service, one of the
sisters attempted to place a garland upon the coffin,
and Mr. Neale was about to commence to reed
some other service, when Mr. Hutcheson objected,
and mid it would not be allowed, Mr. Sco-
bell also said that be did not wish to have any
service performed over the remains of his daugh-
ter, except that prescribed by the church, and
expressed his Lope that the inhabitants would
trotect him and his family from molestation,
whilst in the vault. Mr. Neale persisted in per-
forming his service, when some one in the crowd
called out, "No popery." This was followed by
another cry of " Turn him out." Almost instate' ly
the crowd rushed upon the rev, gentlemen and the
sisters, whom they expelled with violence from the
churchyard. They were then pursued through the
streets by the mob, who tore the garments of both
the women and the priest. For some minutes they
could find no place of refuge, but at length suc-
ceeded in getting into the King's Head Inn, South-
over. The mob remained in front of the inn, yell-
ing and shouting "No popery," while the priest
and the sisters were secreted in a state of great fear.
He eventually succeeded in escaping, without his
coat, through a field to the railway station ; and a
body of police, under Superintendent Jenner, hav-
ing arrived, the sisters were conveyed to the rail-
way station in a fly, which was followed thither by
a mob of 500 or 600 persons, who continued yelling
and shouting "No popery." At the station the
party remained in comparative safety till twenty
minutes to eight o'clock, when they departed for
East Gi instead.

Country IViarkets.

MANCHESTER—Nov. 19.

To-day we had very moderate supplies of grain of all
kinds, and a fair attendance, but no increased disposition
on the part of buyers to operate. English wheat declined
fully 3s per qr., and American 3d to 4d per bushel, but
without leading to badness. Flour neglected, though
offered at a reduction of 2s per sack. Oats and oatmeal
sold slowly without auy material alteration in valve.
Beane and Indian corn each is to 21 per qr cheaper.

NEWARK—Nor. 18.

At this day's market there was a full attendance of
millers and dealers, and a moderate amount of business
done. Wheat met a heavy sale, and the prices for best
wheats and barley declined 2s to 3s per qr.
Wheat, white 56s to 58s, red 51s to 535; barley, malting
36s to 38s, grinding 32s to 345; oats, 24st. 35s to 365, 22st,
30s to 32s ; beans, 488 to 50s ; malt, 73s to 78s ; peas, 448
to 46s ; tares, 56s to 60s per qr.
