THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT

LEICESTER.

._.____~

Notwithstanding that but a few days have elapsed since
the first reception of goods on the Royal Agricultural
Society's show-ground at Leicester, already many thou-
sands of tons of implements have arrived, the discharge of
railway waggons on the new branch line, which runs close
to the show-ground, averaging during the former part of
last week 50 a day, and during the latter portion 200 a
day. During Saturday, so rapid was the receipt of imple-
ments that men were employed until midnight at
the railway-yard, and work was to be resumed after
midnight on Sunday. The stands taken by implement mann-
facturers this year are about 340, against 282 at Bury St.
Edmunds last year, where the show was pronounced
officially as " remarkable for the most extensive collec-
tion of implements and machinery yet brought together."
Consequently, the display at Leicester will be the largest
of all previous exhibitions of the kind. One important
feature this year in connection with the shedding is, that
the machinery in motion will be in a continuous line
(east to west), and the stands opposite to each exhibitor
in the implement department (the sheddings for which
run in a transverse direction), instead of, as in former
years, being scattered up and down the show-
ground. Consequently, the stand for each exhibitor
of implements will be in close proximity to his stand
for machinery in motion. This arrangement has been
carried out so as to ensure more regularity of arrange.
ment, and to spare visitors to the show-ground a pro-
tracted tour of the yard in quest of any particular stand,
which in sxch a field as fifty acres is highly desirable.
Nevertheless, the run of shedding will be over four miles.
There will be over 100 engines in full motion on the ground,
and every arrangement has been made, by the establish.
nient of a temporary fire-engine station, for promptly
staying any outbreak of fire. The implements will
be shown in 36 sheds, 23 cf them being 300 ft. by
20ft., and the remainder 200 ft. in length ; while
the machinery in motion will be comprised in
two large sheds of 1,050 ft. run by 20ft. to 25ft. wide.
There are eight sheds for seeds and models, 160 ft.
by 13ft., and 22 for cattle. The following is the arrange-
ment for the ensuing week :—Thursday, July 9, to Wed-
nesday, July 15, trial of ploughs and field implements,
and preliminary trial of steam cultivators, on farms belong.
ing to Messrs. Stone and Miles, in the parishes of
knighton and Aylestone, adjoining the Midland Rail-
way, about a mile south of the show-yard. Prizes £255.
Admission will be free. The arrangements for the annual
county exhibition of the Royal Horticultural Society are
also rapidly approaching completion. This will cover five
acres, and will be the largest held in the provinces.

EAST LONDON RAILWAY.—
ISSUE OF DEBENTURES•
The EAST LONDON RAILWAY COMPANY are
prepared to RECEIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS for DEBEN-
TURES to be issued as a mortgage on the undertaking,
under the power given to the Company by its Act of In-
corporation to borrow £166,606 against its Share Capital
of £1,400,000, the whole of which has been issued and
registered, and of which more than £1,000,000 has been
paid up.
The Debentures will be issued at par, for a term of two
years—and will bear interest from the date of issue at £6
per cent. per annum, payable by Coupon half yearly, at
the Loudon and Westminster Bank—and will be trans-
ferable by indorsement without stamp.
In order to secure the punctual payment of the interest
during the currency of the Debentures, the Company will
set apart a sum equal to two years' interest, to be invested
in Consols in the names of Trustees.
Three miles of the line, from the Now-cross Junction
with the Brighton Line to Wapping (where it is proposed
to open a first section), are rapidly approaching comple-
tion ; and with the aid of the loan capital proposed to be
raised the Directors expect to open the Railway to White-
chapel by the time the Debentures fall duo.
Applications for-the Debentures, in amounts of £5O, or
in multiples of that amount, upon the subjoined form, will
be received at the Company's Offices, 3, Great Winchester-
street-buildings, E. 0., where Prospectuses and Forms of

CHARGE OF PERJURY.

A showily-dressed young woman, named Stagg,
surrendered to an indictment charging her with
having committed perjury.
The prisoner had, it appeared, been intimate, it
was stated, with a man named Stevens,
and she had taken proceedings against
him for the support of the infant, of
which she said he was the father. The prose-
cutrix said the prisoner came to her and asked her
to swear that she had seen Stevens in her bedroom.
This the prosecutrix said she could not do, as it
was not true, when the prisoner turned round and

fat 1 that she would not swear that she had seen
St3vens in her (prosecutrix's) room. On the hearing
of the summons the prisoner was asked if she had not
'nide use of the threat to the prosecutrix, when she
swore she did not. The prosecutrix having corro-
borative evidence that the prisoner had made use
of the threat the present trial was the result.
Mr Lewis made a strong appeal for the prisoner,
and the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a
verdict of not guilty.

HURLINGETAM PARK.

A .£3 Handicap Sweepstakes, at 7 birds each, organized
by Mr. Prank Heathcote, was the principal event decide
at this ground on Saturday last, and although the " field '
was not a large one, some excellent shooting took place.
The conditions were similar to those generally put in
force, and the Hon. Major Anson, M.P., Comte de Gendre,
and G. C. Coningham were the only three who availed
themselves of the privilege of shooting with 1} instead
of 11, and consequently they stood in half a yard nearer.
At the conclusion of the seventh round the ties for the
first prize, £lOO, were the Hon. Major Anson, M.P., Mr.
Pritchard, Lord Paget, G. Braithwaite, and Sir Chas.
Legard. In shooting off at bird for bird G. Braithwaite,
who shot with an excellent 11-bore muzzle-loader by
Bass and Co., of St. James's-street, killed no less than
nine birds in succession, and as Comte de Gendre missed
his eighth, the former became entitled to the first prize,
Comte de Gendre taking the second of £2O.
The usual £1 Sweepstakes followed, and the first, in
which twenty-three competed, resulted in a division be-
tween C. C. Coningham, Esq., 21 yards' rise, and G.
Pritchard, Esq., 27.

SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT EAST ACTON.

The last sale of the season took place at East Acton on
Saturday, when out of the 37 lots comprised in the cata-
logue 12 only were disposed of. The attendance was
thin, but the aristocratic element was more strongly re-
presented than at recent sales; the bidding, however,
was ♦ery languid,
.and it was with difficulty Mr. E.
Tattersall disposed of tho few he did. Lord Ports-
mouth's yearlings were a serviceable-looking lot, Captain
Machell taking the first on the list by Cramond—
Mrs. O'Rourke, for 300 guineas, for Sir C. Legard ;
while Mr. W. S. Crawfurd bought a very good-
looking colt by Vengeance—Cachuca, whose chief fault is
that his pasterns are rather twisted outwards. The Duke
of Newcastle got two of Lord Bradford's, both being likely
to race ; but the colt by Trumpeter—Maybell, is quite as
good in appearance as anything sold this year. The re-
maining lots call for no comment. Prices as follows:—
The Property of Lord Portsmouth.

usual number of persons for trial, and the offences
with which they stood charged, although happily
not embracing one of murder, yet they were of a
very serious nature. There was one attempt to com-
mit the capital offence, and two cases of arson, but
one that would probably call for their greatest at-
tention was an indictment-preferred against a per-
son named Sarah Rachel Leverson, who stood
charged with unlawfully obtaining, by false pre-
tences, from Mary nicker Borradaile, the sum of
£1,400. The case was of a very peculiar nature,
and connected with it was a very voluminous cor-
respondence, and as that had not been returned to
him he had to ask them to read the whole of it
very carefully before they disposed of the case, but
there appeared to be_ a curious chain of evidence,
which, of course, they would hear in the course
of the case, and having done so it would
be for them to say whether there was a prima facie
case against the prisoner, and if so it would be their
duty to return a true bill. There was also a case of
much importance to the commercial world, and
that was the indictment preferred against three'
persons named Frankle, Harris, and Rewman, for
feloniously having in their possession divers papers
purporting to be Russian rouble notes. The offence
of having forged Russian notes in their posses-
sion was one that had already led to a long and
patient inquiry, and it was much to be desired that
the parties who appeared to make a trade in these
forged securities should be discovered and punished.
They would have the whole of the evidence placed
before them, and, having considered it, say whether
there was sufficient to put the prisoners on their
trial before another tribunal. He did not think it
necessary to refer to any of the other cases in the
calendar, but every assistance would be rendered
them in the event of their requiring any.
The grand jury then retired to their room, and
the trials shortly afterwards were proceeded with.

REMAIIKS.

Since Saturday morning the changes in barometrical pressure have
been very small. Yesterlay morning a diminution had occurred in
the north (accompanied by an incrsase in the south), but this had
almost recovered itself again by six p.m. Since eleven p.m., how-
ever, a fresh decrease has commenced at Nairn ; but the mercury is
rising in London and at several southern stations this morning. Tem-
perature had risen over the British Isles yesterday, but this morning
it has again fallen at several stations. The winds since Saturday have
remained light to moderate from the N.W. and N., except at Toulon,
'where they are strong. The weather is cloudy, and some rain has
fallen in places.

'I he first step in the direction of a South German Con-
federation has been announced by telegraph. The King of
Bavaria has given his sanction to the project of a South
German Military Commission, which shall regulate in
common the military affairs of the Southern States. The
question of the fortresses of these small nationalities will
first engage the attention of the commission. The
resources of the States singly are insufficient to maintain
the three great strongholds of Ulm, Bastadt, and Landau,
which are respectively situated in Wiirtemberg, Baden,
and Bavaria. The Independance Beige says the effective
arming of these defensive places will not be construed as a
measure of offence against Prussia, as the great German
State holds Mayence, which is the key of the southern
line of fortresses. This Military Commission, it must be
remembered, is merely in accordance with the Treaty of
Prague ; but if there be any likelihood of a South German
Confederation ever arising from these unstable elements,
the chances will be strengthenedby community in military
matters. The Prussian (Cross) Gazette speaks contemp-
tuously of the Confederation, believing it would be anni-
hilated as soon as formed.

The accounts from the Mont Cenis Railway, says the
correspondent of the Times, continue favourable. Public
prejudice is being overcome, and the trains fill well.

The Government scheme for favouring the monopoly of
tobacco is the great topic of the day in Florence. It is
thereby hoped to gain a great improvement in the organisa•
tion of the monopoly, besides a sum of money nearly suffi-
ci( nt to meet the estimated deficit of revenue up to the end
of 1869. Of course the proposal is strenuously opposed.
Some persons recommend the issue of Treasury bonds for
the amount required, with the guarantee of the tobacco
monopoly. The Government might thus improve the
manufacture, reduce expenses, and increase the sale,
pocketing the money which now goes to the private
companies. On the other hand, it is urged that a private
company will possess superior facilities for effecting these
improvements, and that the contract secures to the Trea.
sury a fair share of the advantages. The period for which
the monopoly is to be let—twenty years—is considered too

THE CHANNEL SQUADRON.

PLYMOUTH, July 6.
The Channel Squadron have returned from their
trial trip of 32 days. The Bellerophon, Achilles,
Prince Consort, and Defence anchored in the
Sound this morning. The Royal Oak and the
Pallas have gone on to Portsmouth.
The rendevous of the squadron was in 45 deg. 14'
lat. 19 deg. W. long., and they have been cruising
in the vicinity, with continuous fine weather. The
only trial of moment they have made was that 01
beating to windward under fuel and sails. Their,
position were as follows :—The Warrior first, and
well to windward, followed in rotation, by the
Achilles, the Defence, the Pallas, the Royal Oak,
the Minotaur, and the Bellerophon last.

Apropos of a remark attributed to Lord Granville
on an objection of Lord Redesdale to the presence
of ladies in the House of Lords during the debates,
M. Louis Blanc gives, in a letter to the Temps, the,
following, and I have no doubt correct, sketch of
the former of those noble lords You have all

with Lord Granville. You do not need to beet
him speak to be convinced that he knows the
French language. You have only to look at Well
for his very face speaks French. In him you fie'
no insular self•sufficiency, or aristrocratic stiffness.
Though he be a lord in a superior degree, and ill
every form and fashion ; though he be a Gower
and a Cavendish ; though he be nearly related to
the Howards, he is liberal, and a Liberal of the
true standard, I promise you. Not that he is a may
to become impassioned in the cause of the people, et
to feel the powerful ardour which forces one to

HURLINGHAM PARK.

A £5 Handicap Sweepstakes, at 7 birds each, organized
by Mr. Frank Heathcote, was the principal event decido
at this ground on Saturday last, and although the " field'
was not a large one, some excellent shooting took place.
The conditions were similar to those generally put in
force, and the Hon. Major Anson, M.P., Comte de Gendre,
and C. C. Coningham were the only three who availed
themselves of the privilege of shooting with 11 instead
of 11, and consequently they stood in half a yard nearer.
At the conclusion of the seventh round the ties for the
first prize, £lOO, were the Hon. Major Anson, M.P., Mr.
Pritchard, Lord Paget, G. Braithwaite, and Sir Chas.
Legard. In shooting off at bird for bird G. Braithwaite,
who shot with au excellent 11-bore muzzle-loader by
Bass and Co., of St. James's-street, killed no less than
nine birds in succession, and as Comte do Gendre missed
his eighth, the former became entitled to the first prize,
Comte de Gendre taking the second of £2O.
The usual £1 Sweepstakes followed, and the first, in
which twenty-three competed, resulted in a division be-
tween C. C. Coningham, Esq., 21 yards' rise, and G.
Pritchard, Esq., 27.

GEOZT AND Arg .131
.
On Sunday morning, at the Metropolitan TAbeT2ol44o—
Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, in preaching to hisvilstoonYila !
gation from the 6th and 7th verses of the 67th Psajni— a S
" God, even our own God, shall bless us "—availed
himself of the occasion to give another reply to
the observation which was made by the Bishop
of Oxford in his speech in the House of Lords. He
said : "It is not the instrumentality which we
have to look to, but it is the power from Heaven
which is given to the instrumentality that makes the
Church irresistible. We heard it said the other day that
the religion of Jesus Christ could not be expected to prosper
unless it bad a fair start given to it, and, strange to say,
that observation did not, as you might suppose, come from
an infidel, but it absolutely came-from a bishop. A fair
start, indeed ! Put up the religion of Jesus Christ
anywhere, and it asks for nothing. It only wants its
own inherent strength to be developed, and to be
let alone by the kings and princes of this world.
To be let al me, did I say? Yes. Let these kings and
princes oppose it if they like, only let them withdraw from
it that deadly thing, their patronage, and the truth of
God will always prevail against every obstacle. We do
not tremble, then, fur the success of the Church of
Christ, though the servants of God be poor or compara-
tively weak in numbers, for we know that God will
bless us ;' and, if we be few, we remember that the twelve
unlettered fishermen who first went out to plant the
Church were fewer still, yet that they made old Rome to
shake from end to end, and levelled colossal citadels even
with the ground ; and so shall it ever be with Christianity
if only God shall bless her with the ancient might that
made her strong in days of old."

GUN CLUB.

Without exception one of the best handicaps that have
been decided on the ground of the above-named club
during the present season took place on Saturday last,
and we cannot but congratulate Mr. Battcock, the secre-
tary, ou the success that attended the £lO Sweepstakes,
at 15 birds each, 30 yards' rise. No less than twenty-six
gentlemen competed, inclusive of five past entries, and they
were of course subjected to the' usual restt ictions. Al-
though J. Offer supplied some capital flying birds, the
shooting throughout was excellent, and indeed the scores of
Viscount Stormont, the noble president of the club, Major
Wlettingstal!, Hon. R. C. Hill, and Capt. A. Burnaud seemed
to be the most dangerous from the commencement. In the
thirteenth round, however, Capt. A. Burnand was compelled
to retire; and at the termination of the fifteenth only Major
Whittingstall, lion. R. C. Hill, and Viscount Stormont were
left in to compete for the prizes, they having killed a dozen
each. In shooting off Major Whitt:rigs tall killed two in •
succession, and won the first prize of £lBO. Viscount Stor-
mont and the Hon. IL C. Hill now bad to shoot for the
second and third prizes. Viscount Stormont brought down
two, and as the lion. R. C. Hill missed his second bird, the
noble lord took second money, £6O ; the third prize, £2O,
going to tho Hon. R. C. Hill. Previous to commenc-
ing*.the handicap the betting was quoted at 100 to 8 agst
Captain Fredericks, and 100 to 6 each agst the others.
The winner shot with a splendid muzzle-loader by
Grant, of St. James's-street, as also did Lord Stormont.
Previous to commencing the above, an important
match was decided between Mr It. Herbert and
Captain Ponritb, who shot at 25 birds each, at
30 yards' rise, for a " pony" a side. It was a most
exciting contest throughout, and in the end Reginald
Herbert only won by a bird, ho having killed 20 to his
opponent's 19. Captain E. E. Nevile and Mr. H. Rudd
likewise shot a match at a similar distance, for £lO a side,
at seven birds each. Captain Nevile won by killing five,
Mr. Rudd only bringing down three.
