gratifying when it remembered that, from the railway

priion to let.

' (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. John Marcus Clements, cross-examined by Mr.
CUAMBERS—I have not played at a gambling-house
in London for a long time, not since 1845. I cannot
' say how many times I was in a gambling-house in
London before 1845. I could not play very high,
because I had not got maph money. I remember
meeting the prisOner in Regent-street in the summer
of 1849, and he asked me where I was stopping, and
aIEO requested me to settle his claim upon me, but I
did not upon this occasion refuse to give him my
address. He might have followed me home if he had
pleased. I did not represent myself to be of age in
1846. I did give a treat to the men, but it was on
the occasion of my getting my lieutenancy, and not
because I represented that I had come of age. •
Mr. John Pullman deposed that he was a barrister,
and in the year 1847 he saw Mr. Clements at Dublin,
but he had been introduced to him before. In 1847
he was requested by his guardians to arrange his
affairs. He had authority to pay any debts that were
due, and he communicated this fact to the prisoner,
and requested him to let him have his account with
Mr. Clements, and he promised to send it. He, after-
wards received from the prisoner the document now
produced on the Ist July, 1847.
The paper was put in, the material point it was
represented to prove being that at this period the pri-
soner made no mention of this 1,000/. bill.
Examination continued—The prisoner called upon
him in August, and asked if the account was satisfac-
tory, and witness told him it was not, as the consi-
deration for the bills was not set out. The prisoner
then made a verbal statement, but witness requested
him to give the account in writing, and he promised
to do so on the following Tuesday. The prisoner
did not come on that day, but sent a letter apologis-
ing for not keeping his appointment, and he did
not see the prisoner again until the 27th of August,
at his (witness's) chambers in the Temple. He then
brought another statement of the accounts between
him and the prosecutor, and in this also there was no
mention made of the 1,0001. bill. The prisoner
afterwards, at his request, gave him the particulars
of the book account, and this also did not make any
allusion to a 1,0001. bill. When the prisoner gave him
this letter, before he said he had given the particulars
of the whole of the transaction between him and the
prosecutor, and witness never had any other state-
ment of accounts between them, and this bill for
1,000/. was never alluded to in any manner. Shortly
before the summer assizes at Croydon last year was
the first time that he ever heard of such a bill being in
Pxistence, and he immediately put himself in commu-
nication with Mr. Campbell, the solicitor, and he at-
tended at Croydon to be examined as a witness. In
the course of his conversation with the prisoner he
told him the guardians would pay every bona fide
claim, and six per cent. interest. The prisoner of-
fered to give up a considerable amount of bills for
half their value, but witness refused to listen to any
compromise of that description, and said that every
bill for which consideration should be proved to have
been given should be paid in full. The witness was I
then shown the bill for 1,0001., and he said he did
net think the acceptance was Mr. Clements's

writing.
By Mr. CHAMBERS—Had been called to the bar
about five years. Before he studied for the bar he
was engaged in the woollen manufacture. Witness
attended the equity and common law coursi n his wig
and gown. He went to Dublin in 184 G. He ma-
naged the affairs of any gentleman in the 13th Dra-
goons, except those of the prosecutor. Witness was
engaged in watching a Chancery suit in the Irish
courts on behalf of the friends of Mr. Denny, and it
was understood that he was to have the fees of a bar-
rister fur so doing. lie was not aware that Mr.
Denny ever borrowed any money, or that he was in-
volved in any difficulties, and he was merely engaged
to watch the Chancery suit. Witness communicated
with other alleged creditors of Mr. Clements besides
Mr. Joel. Toe prosecutor gave him the names of the
creditors in the first instance verbally, and afterwards
in writing. The prisoner did not keep a shop, but
lodged over a shop kept by a fruiterer or greengrocer.

The witness was then further cross•examined at
considerable length with regard to the communications
that took place between him and the prisoner, but
nothing material appeared to be elicited. He first saw
the prosecutor write on the Ist of May, 1847, and
from his knowledge of the handwriting he enter-
taim-d a confident belief that the acceptance to the
1,0001. bill was not written by him. There was a
general resemblance but the signature differed in
many respects according to his opinion. The signa-
ture was certainly like that of Mr. Clements.
Several papers with signatures on them were then
shown to the witness ; some of them, he said, he be-
lieved were not the handwriting of the prosecutor,
others, he said, were like it, and upon some he
declined to give any opinion. The last that was
shown to him he said he thought was not the genuine
writing of Mr. Clements, but was a copy of the forged
bill.
(This document, which was folded up in such a
manner that nothing but the signature could be seen,
turned out to be the identical instrument which
formed the subject of inquiry, and Mr. Clarkson com-
plained that it was not a fair proceeding towards the
witness to show him the document in this form.)
lie •examined—The action at Croydon was not
tried, but was settled, and he gave notice to Mr. Camp-
the solicitor, not to part with the bill, and at the
same time undertook to prosecute Joel for forgery.
In all the circumstances that took place between him
and the prisoner he never heard of this 1,0001. bill
until he had the notice from Mr. Campbell. The
prisoner always represented that the accounts which
he had given him contained the particulars of the
whole of his claims upon the prosecutor.
Mr. Clements, the prosecutor, was then re-called, and
was further examined by Mr. CHAMBERS upon the
subject of the accounts that had been produced by
Mr. Pullman—He said that the prisoner's statement
of the accounts between them was brought to him at
Windsor, by Mr. Pullman, and that he was asked to
make any remarks upon the different items which he
might consider necessary. He would not deny that
he had actually received the different articles
of jewellery that were mentioned, or that
some portion of it was still in his possession.
With regard also to the sums of 2101., 3501., and
several others, he would not deny that they had not
been paid him in hard cash. One of the items was a
diamond ring, charged at 200/. He believed, he
said, that he had it. He used to have jewellery from
Harris and the prisoner, and also from Waterhouse,
and then he used to change it amongst them, when
he had a fresh transaction with either. In one in-
stance he gave Harris BC/. for some diamond studs,
and he afterwards let Joel have them, and he allowed
him 401. in the account. He only objected to one
item in the accounts, which was 251. for some opal
studs, and he believed he had not had them, but he
would not venture to swear that he had not. One of
the items in the prisoner's account was ,a diamond
ring, 851. He supposed he had it. He knew he
took the' stones out, and sold them to Waterhouse.
Could not say when he sold them, or whether it was
on the very same day he purchased the ring from the
prisoner. All he knew was that the stones were
taken out and sold to Waterhouse, but he could not
say when. He remembered the prisoner coming to
the barracks in July, 1847, and telling him that
some of his bills were either over-due or would soon
become due, and that he asked him to renew
them, but he refused to do so. He denied, however,
that upon this occasion the prisoner asked him to
give him a blank acceptance, or that he threatened to
take legal proceedings. He also denied most posi-
tively that he had ever given a blank acceptance to
Mr. Harris, or the prisoner, or any other person. He
also said that when he came of age he had some idea
of the amount of the bills which he had accepted
during his minority, but he had not the least know-
ledge of their number. An action was still pending
on this bill. It was shown to him at the office of Mr.

mode of signing his name to bills of exchange was to

occasion he wrote his name in full.
At the conclusion of the cross-examination, it being
nearly six o clock, the furthe • proceedings were post-
poned until this morning.

NEW COURT.
AGGRAVATED CASE OF ASSAULT.—S. G. Harvey,
the horse-dealer, who was on Monday convicted in
the Old Court of an assault on James Dodaley
Tawney, whose melancholy death whilst giving evi-
dence is fresh in the recollection of our readers, was
brought up to receive sentence.
ThQEconDER, after recurring to the atrocious
nature of the assault and the very melancholy result,
said he much regretted that the result of the medical
inquiry into the immediate cause of the death of the
prosecutor was such that an indictment for an offence
of a graver nature than that which he had been con-
victed could not be brought against him. Any man
who could be guilty of so dastardly and gross an act
as the prisoner had must have a mind so ill-consti-

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO GSE.
Faderman, Lourio, and Gordon, the Germans,
charged with having made a copper-plate engraving
for the purpose of forging notes in imitation of the
issue of the Russian Imperial Bank, were brought
up before Alderman Gibbs for final examination.
Mr. Parnell attended fur Mr. Clarkson, the Coun-
sel for the Imperial Bank, instructed by Mr. Peachey,
of the house of Oliverson and Co., of the Old Jewry,
for the prosecution. Mr. Isaacs attended for Fader-
man, and Mr. Norton for Lourio and Gordon.
The following was the concluding evidence ad-
duced by Mr. Parnell for the prosecution :
Elias Rosengarder, tinman, of Hutchinson-street,
Houndsditcle said I know Federman. He lodged at
my house when he came over here last summer. He
came to me about the middle of Ab (August) with
a man of the name of Moses, and they lodged in the
same room, and stayed about a fortnight or three
weeks. I have seen the other two prisoners, but not
with Federman, at my house. Gordon has bought
things, such as a teakettle, from me. Ido not know
whether he called upon Federman. There is a pri-
vate door which leads .to Faderman's room. I do
not know whether Lourio is an acquaintance of Fe-
derman or Gordon.
Wm. Meyer S. Cohen, who was examined on the
last day of the examination, was again called and
cross-examined by Mr. Norton for Lourio and
Gordon. He said—l am a schoolmaster and private
teacher. I am a translator of languages. I have
been employed to translate the language once before
about two years ago on an oceasiereesimilar to this.
I was employed by Mr. Cramer, the Russian, and my
charge for translating is a guinea a day. Privately I
make translations enough.
Mr. Norton was proceeding to ask questions appa-
rently meant to test the competency of the witness to
act as a translator at all, when he was inter-
rupted by
Alderman GIBBS, who said that Mr. Cohen had
sworn to the correctness of the translations he had
rendered of the correspondence produced in confi-
dence, and nothing more was necessary to be stated
by him in the present condition of the case.
Mr. Norton submitted that he was perfectly justi-
fied in putting questions calculated to show whether
the veracity of the witness was or was not to be
relied upon. lie considered that the translations
were extremely imperfect. B )th the Alderman and
the Learned Counsel, no doubt, understood the mean-
ing of his objections.
Mr. Isaacs—l contend that they are by no means
true and correct translations of the letters produced,
and that they ought not to be admitted as evidence.
Mr. Peachey—Mr. Isaacs had notice that he might
send a person to the office of the solicitors for the
prosecution, to translate the correspondence, provided
he would supply the solicitors with a copy of the
translation so made.
Mr. George Henry Christian Spalte, senior cashier
of one of the sections of the Imperial Russian Credit
Note Office, said—The credit notes come through
the department to which I belong, and I occa-
sionally sign them myself, by the authority
of the Imperial Government.—(Here a genuine
ten rouble note was produced.) This note is
genuine, and notes of this kind were in circulation
in Russia when I left that country, which
was on the 18th of December, old style, and 30th,
new style. (The plate No. 3 was produced.) This
plate is part of the engraving of the front of a ten
rouble bank note. (Plate 4 produced.) This plate is the
engraving of the back of the note. (Plate 2 produced.)
This is the border or ornament of the front of a note.
(Plate 1 produced.) This is the engraving of the
faint lines on the front of the note. They are to be
seen " weakly or faintly." The four plates together
would make up a ten rouble note. In plate No. 3,
the signature of the two last, namely, the directors
and the cashier, would, in a genuine note, be written
by the persons whose names they purported to be.
I have seen these two persons sign genuine notes
together.
Mr. Isaacs (for Faderman)—Supposing a note en-
graved from these plates was presented to you, in your
official capacity, would you pay it ? Witness—l
would if it were genuine.
Mr. Norton—Have you looked at these plates with
sufficient attention to be able to say that they would
complete a note ? Witness—Yes, certainly.
Mr. Norton—ls a note complete without being
numbered ? Witness—lt is not.
Mr. Norton—ls there any number engraved on
any of these plates P Witness—There is nothing of
the kind to be seen with the naked eye. There is no
number on any of them.
Mr. Norton—Are not these plates, or some of
them, full of mistakes, and at variance with the ge-
nuine notes ? Witness—They are full of mistakes,
and different on the back or wrong side.
Mr. Parnell here handed one of the notes de-
scribed as forgeries to the witness, and cross•exa-
mined him.
The witness said, this note looks as if it were
engraved from the plates I have seen The numbers
on genuine national notes are pressed on, but how
they are pressed is a secret. The back of the note

is sufficiently accurate to impose upon an unskilful
person.
Mr. Norton objected to the made of examination

to offer in this case, and have now to ask of the Al-
derman to commit these three prisoners.
Alderman GIBI3S--I shall commit them for trial.
Mr. Isaacs—As the Alderman has expressed his
intention to commit ray client, I shall say nothing
here in defence or extenuation, for I know it would
have no effect as to the prosecution.
Mr. Norton—l shall reserve the defence of my
clients for their trial.
Mr. Isaacs applied for the English money which
had been found in possession of Federman upon his
apprehension, in order that it might be appropriated
to the payment of the professional expenses incurred
by his defence, and of the necessaries of life ; the un-
fortunate prisoner from conscientious scruples refused
to partake of the prison fare, so that he was at that
moment actually starving.
Mr. Parnell said the Bank of England notes which
had been takeia from Faderman were transmitted to
London to pay for the engraving of the plates, and
Mr. Feger, the person employed, was not yet paid
for the work. He had no objection, however, to make
such an arrangement as would enable the prisoner to
make use of the amount of the notes, provided Mr.
Isaacs became responsible for the production of the
notes themselves should they be called for upon the
trial.
Alderman Gnans acquiesced in the arrangement,
and the prisoners were committed for trial.
The following are the words used in the commit-
ment :—" For that they did in this city, within the
jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, feloniously
make a certain copper-plate, upon which was engraved
and made, in the Russian language, a certain note for
the payment of money, of a certain foreign Prince,
of a certain foreign state, to wit Nicholas, then and
still being Emperor of all the Russias, against the
statute, &c. &c."

BOW-STREET.
Mr. Henry Osborne the landord of the University
Hotel, in
Grafton-street East, was summoned at the
instance of a constable of the E division, for keeping
his house open after one o'clock on new year's eve.
Mr. Child (solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers'
Protection Society) attended for the defendant, and
explained, to the perfect satisfaction of the magistrate,
that the gentlemen in his house at the time were mem-
bers of a club, to which the landlord usually gave a sup-
per on the last night of the old year. On this oc-
casion the festivities of the punch-bowl were kept up
a little beyond the prohibited hour, but the general
business of the :house had not been prolonged an in-
stant; the bar being punctually closed at one. Indeed
the company assembled were almost in the nature of
a private party.
Mr. JARDINE said that this was a satisfactcry
answer to the charge, especially as the landlord and
the house were admitted to be of the Ilighett respec-
tability.—Summons dismissed.
SOUTHWARK.

Henry Mackrell, clerk in a proctor's office, was
brought before Mr. Burrell, charged with travelling
in a second-class carriage from Woolwich, with a
third-class ticket, and refusing to pay the extra fare.
Roberts, the ticket-collector at the London-bridge
terminus, said that on the arrival of the half-past ten
o'clock train on the previous night from Woolwich,
the defendant produced a third-class ticket, although
he was in a second-class carriage, and when asked to
pay the difference in the fare he refused, saying, that
it was in consequence if the negligence of the rail-
way servants he got into the wrong carriage. He also
refried to give his address, and at first gave the name
of Smith, and rif[eir wards Itlackrell.
Abbott, a railway policeman, said that during the
defendant's detention, when he was remonstrated with
for refusing to pay the excess fare, his answer was,

that he was a shareholder in the company—that he
refused to pay on public grounds, adding that ha
should try the question. He was frequently urged
to pay the difference in the fares, which only amounted
to 3d., but on his refusal he was locked up.
• Mr. BURRELL asked the defendant why be did not
pay the small amount rather than suffer the inconve-
nience of being locked up in the cell of a station-
house such weather, and kept away all night from his
family ? That it was proved he came up in a second-
class carriage, although he only paid third-class fare.
Dffendant said that when he got on the platform at
Woolwich, a railway porter pointed out a carriage,
into which he got; that he (defendant) was a stranger
on that line, but being in the habit of travelling on
the Eastern Counties Railway, the third-class car-
riages on that line were so like the second class on
the South-Eastern, that he did not know one from
the other, and as he considered the railway porter at
Woolwich was the person who misled him, he there-
fore contended that he was justified in refusing to pay
the excess of fare. He was aware that the amount
claimed was trivial, but still he did not like to submit
to what he considered an imposition.
Mr. Church, the solicitor to the company, produced
the bye-laws, by which it appeared the defendant had
rendered himself liable to a penalty of forty shillings
for the offence ; that the circumstance of the defen-
dant refusing to give his address, and afterwards
giving a fictitious name, threw such suspicion on his
conduct throughout the affair, that he (Mr. Church)
considered it incumbent on him to sue for a mitigated
penalty, at all events, in this case, to prevent occur-
rences of a similar description.
Defendant said the railway servants were to blame ;
that they ought to have asked him at Woolwich,
before he got into the carriage, what class ticket he
had; this, however, was not done, and a second-class
fare was demanded, much to his surprise, when he
got to London-bridge. He considered be was grossly
il'4,ised in being locked up as a prisoner all night.
Mr. 13uaanaa said that, if the defendant's object
was to try the question, he ought to have paid the
extra fare demanded, and not subjected himself to a
night's incarceration. I must say that it was in
consequence cf your own perverseness that led you
into the dilemma, and I shall fine you 20s.
Defendant—l have not the money about me, and I
think it a great hardship, in addition to being lockea
up all night, now to be fined for an act which arose
from the negligence of the-railway servants.
The defendant was detained until he sent for the
amount of the penalty, which he paid in the course o
the day, and was discharged.
PROTECTION TO BRITISII IN

DUSTRY.—ALARMING RIOT.
STAFFORD, THURSDAY NIGHT.—For some days
past the farmers and others connected with agricul-
ture have been canvassing the county of Stafford
with a view to bring as many of their friends as
possible to support Lord Talbot at the meeting which
was axed to take place to-day. On the other hand,
the town of Stafford, which has always been cele
brated for its free-trade opinions, was not wanting in
its endeavour to frustrate the proceedings.
At twelve o'clock to-day the doors of the Shire-hall
were thrown open, and an immense concourse of
persons rushed in and soon filled every available
space. In the gallery from which the speakers were
to address the meeting we noticed Lord Talbot, Lord
St. Vincent, Lord Newport, M.P., Lord Lewisham,
M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Sidney, Major
Chetwynd, &c.
Lord ST. VINCENT came forward, and was about to
address the meeting, when the Free-traders set up a
most discordant noise, consisting of hisses, groans,
and yells, &c., which lasted for several minutes.
After in vain endeavouring to obtain a hearing, his
Lordship proceeded, amidst the clamour which pre-
vailed, to say that he would not be put down ; that
be had a claim to be heard, and heard he would be.
He had a greater claim, perhaps, than any person pre-
sent to be heard, as he stood before them a victim of

the principles of free trade.—(•' Well, we won't hear
you , • sit down.") He was a large landed proprietor,
and had had his property destroyed by the spread of
free-trade principles, the effects of which were truly
disheartening—(" Give us cheap bread ; Jower your
rents")—and he felt assured that no class of manu-
facturers or traders, however they might have up to
the present time, could regard themselves as safe if
those principles were to be allowed to go
on. [At this state cf the proceedings several
disturbances took place in the body of the hall ;
and amidst the cries of "police" and " murder," a
general fight took place ; both parties appeared
to be pretty well armed for the fray, and a set-to a la
Donnybrook commenced, but after about fifteen mi-
nutes' good fighting, the police were let into the hall
from a side door, and they at once set upon all those
who appeared to show the slightest symptoms of dis-
agreement with the conveners of the meetly g.
Silence having being in a measure restored], Lord St.
Vincent again proceeded. He was surprised that
they would not allow him to address them,—(" We
dou't want protection.") He knew that they did
want protection, and he would mention to those shoe-
makers who he believed were the parties who were
disturbing the meeting, that he had been informed
by a very good authority, that at the present time
there were thousands of shoemakers who were work-
ing for less than 6d. per day in the city of Paris.—
(" What is that to do with us ?") He mentioned the
fact only as a warning to those who were making the
disturbance that they might not be led to suppose that
free trade would be of any service to them.—(" We
are starved now, and yet you want to make bread
dearer." "Lower your rents.") Here again the
noise became so great that it was utterly impossible
to hear a word that the speaker gave utterance to.
Several persons in vain endeavoured to procure for
his Lordship a hearing. He sat down by proposing
that Lord Talbot take the chair.

Lord NEWPORT, M.P., roso to second the motion,
and was received with loud hissing and groaning.
He said he was not going to detain them if they would

listen. Lord Talbot who—(Groans and hisses)—
never during the time he represented you in Parlia-
ment—never told you one thing, and afterwards went
to the House of Commons and voted for another.—
(Great confusion and fighting.) As they would not
allow him to speak, he would second the motion that
Lord Talbot do take the chair.
Lord Talbot came forward. He had no sooner
taken his place at the front of the rails, in the gal-
lery, than some miscreant in the body of the hall
threw a large stone at his Lordship's head, which,
however, missed his Lodship and fell on the forehead
of Mr. Fowler, a reporter, who was standing by his
Lordship's side, inflicting a large contused wound.
Lord Newport had the gentleman conveyed to the
judges' room, where his head was dressed.
For nearly half an hour the, chairman was endea-
vouring to address the meeting. During the whole
of the period the rioting was at its height in the body
of the ball, the policemen who were present being
totally insufficient effectually to quell the disturbance.
A large number of the rioters were, however, ejected
by the farmers, and the chairman ordered the doors
to be closed. This was no sooner done than the mob
outside commenced pulling up the stones of the court-
yard in front of the Shire-hall, which they hurled
through the windows with such violence as to break
whole frames out at one stroke. The mob inside, in
the meantime, tore up several benches and forms,
with which they armed themselves. After some
sharp fighting, in which some scores of heads were
broken,
Lord TALBOT again addressed the meeting, but it
would be totally impossible to give anything like an
outline of his Lordship's speech, the riot and con-
fusion entirely preventing the reporters from hearing.
When his Lordship resumed his seat, a large paving-
stone was hurled through the window at him, but., as
in the previous case, his Lordship escaped unhurt.
Mr. T. TURNER moved—" That the present dis-
tressed and painful condition of the agricultural in-
terest, bearing particularly on the tenant-farmers, the
agricultural labourers, and others employed in the
cultivation of the soil, as well as all trades dependent
upon agriculture for support, the grievous injury in-
flicted upon Ireland, our colonial empire, the shipping
and all other industrial interests, is mainly attribut-
able to the mistaken policy of free trade."
Mr. Turner was commencing to address the meet-
ing, when the mob from without opened another bat-
tery against the windows, and the stones came flying
into the hall in every direction.
Lord Talbot sent a messenger to the Mayor to say
that he, as chairman of the meeting, requested that
his worship would prevent any disturbance taking
place in the town.
Mr. HARTSHORN seconded the resolution.
Mr. ADDERLEY, M.P., move a resolution to the
effect that an address be presented to her Majesty,
praying her to dissolve Parliament.
The appearance of the place at this period became
most alarming ; battles were taking place in all parts
of the body of the hall, and the stones were pouring.
in through the windows as fast as a heavy shower of
rain, much to the terror of those in the galleries.
Mr. ADDERLEY, addressing the rnota•who had again
forced open the front doors, which they were now
trying to wrench from off their hinges,, said—lt is a
disgrace to this meeting that a body ofEnglishmen
should behave in the way you have done. It is a dis-
grace to the person who has set this mob on to-day to
behave in the manner they have.—(Cheers.) You
I wish for an extension of the suffrage,. and ycu have

•
1 been told by your opponents that you are not fit to
receive it. Your conduct here to•day has convinced
me that you are not fit to be entrusted with the
suffrage. You have brought a lasting disgrace upon
yourselves by your dastardly conduct.
A this stage of the Froceedings, the superintend-
ent of the police informed his Lordship that it was
quite impossible for him longer to hold out against the
mob, as his men were knocked down in all directions.
The messenger whom Lord Talbot had sent to the
Mayor returned, anti stated that his worship refused
to act at all in the matter, as he considered it to be
the duty cf the county 'magistrates.
The mob, finding that they were now quite un-
checked in their violence, commenced battering in the
doors arid windows in the most determined manner,
stones weighing from 401 b. to .50Ib. being thrown in
amongst the meeting.
Lord TALBOT with some difficulty stood forward,
and said the Mayor of Stafford having refused to
assist in putting down the riot which is now existing
outside, I cannot, as a county magistrate, allow the
property of the county to be demolished in this way,
and therefore I declare the meeting dissolved.
Upon leaving the Shire-hall, Lord Talbot and his
friends proceeded to the Swan Tavern, where he was
folio wed by a mob of nearly 1,000 persons. Whilst
his Lordship was in the act of crossing the road some
miscreant struck his Lordship with a brick. This was
the signal for further destruction, for the mob imme-
diately commenced smashing the windows of the
hotel where his Lordship and his friends were stay-
ing. His Lordship, on receiving the blow on his
breast, coolly told the mob that they we acting very
unlike Englishmen. From the hotel the mob made
their way to the railway station, where they received
the farmers as they came down to go by the several
trains with showers of bricks and-stones. Upwards
of 100 persons are more or less wounded, some with
broken heads, some with black eyes, &c. One gen-
tleman who was going down to the station in his gig
was so severely pelted that the horse took fright and
the driver was thrown out'.

STAFFORD, FRIDAY.—Last, night, the rioters, to
the number of 1,500, kept perambulating the town,
hooting and pelting every person who had the slightest
appearance of a farmer, many of whom were treated
in a most brutal manner. One gentleman, whilst
going from the town to the railway station, was pelted
by a mob with brick ends and flint stones to such an
extent that he was quite overpowered, and whilst en-
deavouring to jump over a low hedge, to avoid bis as-
sailants, received a severe wound from a stone on the
bead, which for some time rendered him quite sense-
less, and the- blood which flowed from his wound com-
pletely saturated his garment•, and it was with great
difficulty that he escaped with his life.
The rioters themselvts, however, did not escape
unscathed, for whilst the county police were enabled
to act, they did so in the most effective manner, and
every person who was pointed out to them as interfer-
ing was immediately turned out, and if they showed
the slightest resistance they were knocked down like
bullocks by the truncheons of the officers, and many
persons who were only indulgine, themselves with
what they called " a lark," went home with a broken
head.

Many of the farmers fled from the building in the
early part of the fracas, a course which gave their
opponents courage to persevere. Others, however,
when the matter became serious, fought lustily; and
one was observed with a heavy silver-handled riding-
whio to knock down about 20 of the opposition.
The whole of the circumstances connected with the
affair are now being drawn up, and are to be sub-
mitted to the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment.

The mob kept perambulating the town till a late
hour, and smashed several windows in the houses of
such persons as they knew were Protectionists.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Letters have been received from the Inconstant,
3G, Captain Shepherd, at California, giving a deplo-
rable account of the distress existing there. The
American men-of-war were completely denuded of
their crews ; and in one instance the men in an
American man-of-war's boat not only deserted, but
first threw their officers overboard. The Inconstant
had been engaged in the protection of British shipping
and merchandise, and parties of the ship's company
had been sent away in merchant craft, to navigate
them to Valparaiso. Notwithstanding the great
temptation to desert, the Inconstant had lost only one
man, and he was drowned in his attempt to swim
ashore.

The Actmon has been removed from the basin, to
moorings up the harbour.
The Diligence, navy transport, is alongside the
yard at Portsmouth, to load stores for the eastward.
The Terrible, steam-frigate, Captain Hope, CJ3.,
was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yt:sterday, at
two P.M., having her damage completely repaired in
less than forty-cig,ht hours. Silo has received about
20 or 30 fret of new false keel aft, a piece cf new
forefoot and false keel f)rward, two new bilge planks
on her port side, and as the centre part cf the false
keel had been driven on one side, the ship had to be
suspended off her blocks by staves, to have the keel
set in place. As the ship had her guns, stores, and
all her weights on board, this was rather a tedious
operation. Altogether, the celerity and dispatch that
have been displayed in repairing this fine vessel have
surprised every person here, and do infinite credit
to Mr. Fincham and the executives of Portsmouth-
yard. This being the first time that this splendid
and deservedly-famed steamer has been in dock at
Portsmouth, a number of scientific and nautical men
have taken the opportunity of inspecting her bottom.
Her beautiful lines and symmetrical formations have
been much and very deservedly admired by all who
have seen her. When taken out of dock the tide had
ebbed too much to permit her being taken out of the '
steam basin. She will, therefore, come out of the
basin to-morrow, and be ready about. Tuesday to pro-
ceed to Plymouth.
The Penelope, steam-frigate, will resume her place
in Dock No. 7, on Monday, at Portsmouth.
The Devastation, steam-sloop,•was taken out of the
old basin at Portsmouth on Thursday, and will be
brought into the new steam basin to-day to be further
fitted.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING.—Wind E.S.E.,
moderate breezes, with thick foggy weather.
CHATHAM, JAN. I.—The Vulcan steam-frigate,
which was taken into dock last week for the purpose
of having her bottom paYed with Mr. Peacock's pre-
paration for preventing corrosion and foulness of
ships' bottoms, was completed this day, and this ship
will be put out of dock on Monday next, and will
then be navigated forthwith to Sheerness.

The Iphigenia (lent to the Marine Society at
Deptford from this ordinary about 18 years ago), her
service being no longer required, is to be navigated
to this port to form one of the ships in ordinary.
The Columbine, 16-gun sloop, C:.mimander C. J.
Hay, having a complement of 130 men, now on her
passage home from the China seas, is ordered to this
port to be paid off.
The Cressy, 84 guns, building in this yard, and
which was expected to have been launched in the
spring of the present year, is, by command of the
Admiralty, to remain on the stocks until further
orders. This ship is from a design of Messrs. Read,
Cruize, and Chatfield, members of the late School of
Naval Architecture ; she is a splendid specimen of
what the members of that school can accomplish.
The individual payment of the workmen of this
dockyard comes into operation on Saturday, the 12th,
at noon. The plan is one of Mr. Ward's, the late
Secretary of the Admiralty, now Governor of the
lonian Islands.

Cilonel John Stoyte, commanding the 17th Regi-
ment, " Royal Tigers," has received official notice
from General G. Browne, KM., Deputy Adjutant-
General, that the 17th is to remove from Cnatham
for a northern county. It is expected that it will go
to Manchester. The regiment, it is believed, will
move in the early part of next month, and will be
relieved by the 77th from Portsmouth for the per-
formance of garrison duty.

made in the basin, and equal to 70 to 75 had the
vE sscl been making way in the river or at sea. Captain
Ellice, controller of steam machinery, accompanied
by Mr. Humphreys, chief engineer, visited the Niger
when the steam was up yesterday, and she appeared
to be working very satisfactorily.
Captain Ellice, with Mr. Humphreys, subsequently
went on board the Minx steam-vessel, where a very
interesting series of experiments had been carried on
for several days, and were going on at the time of the
visit, to test the relative capabilities fa- work of small
high-pressure engines when applied to the purposes
of screw propulsion as an auxiliary power—a means
of attaining an end which is still receiving great
attention from .the members of the engineering
establishment at Woolwich. The trials on this
occasion have been made to ascertain the compara-
tive merits of the disc engine, as improved by
Mr. Bishop, and the engines by Messrs-.
Seaward, both nominally of 10-horse power each.
It will he recollected that the results of
.the trials
down the river gave the speed of the disc engine as
equal to 5.148 knots per hour, whilst that obtained
by the other engines fitted in the same vessel was
4.515 knots per hour, showing an advantage in
favour of the disc engine, as respects capability of
producing speed, equal to more than half-a- knot per
hour. The object of the comparative trial made this
week, in the Minx, in the basin at Woolwich, was
with the view of determining the relative consump-
tion of fuel and water . required by the respective
engines for the performance of the same amount of
work: Messrs. Seaward's engines were first tried,
and they consist of two cylinders of nine inches in
diameter, making a quick stroke, acting directly on
the screw-shaft, and these engines were carefully ex-
amined and modified previous to the commencement
of the trials. The results of the trial with these
engines, extending over a period of seven hours
and thirteen minutes, were—the production of a mean
speed of 112 revolutions of the screw per minute,
with the average consumption of 1,1201 b. of water,
and 1551 b. of fuel per hour. These engines, nomi-
nally of 10-horse power, were found, by the indi-
cator, to exhibit a force of 27-horse power, conse-
quently, the consumption of water was 41i1b., and
that of fuel 511 b., for each indicated horse-power.
The results of the trial with the disc engine, driving
the same propeller, and supplied with steam from the
same boiler, extending over a period of seven hours
and forty-one minutes, during which time it required
the same quantity of water as that taken by the other
engine in seven hours and thirteen minutes—were
the production of the same mean sileed with the
average consumption of 1,0521 b. of water, and 1311 b.
of fuel per hour, the work performed being the same
as with the other engines ; these consumptions are in
the proportion of 391 b. of water and 51b. of fuel for
each indicated horse-power. The officers studying
steam at the factory were present during the trials,
and appeared to take_a great interest in their results.

THE POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—RELIEF FROM SUN-
DAY LABoun.—The Post-office notice, which we pub-
lished yesterday, ordering all the Post-offices in the
kingdom to be closed on Sundays after ten o'clock in the
morning, is a most important one, and relieves more
persons from Sunday labour than at first sight would
appear. There cannot be a doubt but what in future
some thousands of persons will be enabled to attend
Divine service on Sunday evenings who have been
hitherto prevented from doing so. For ever since the
recent regulation by which Post-offices have been closed
from ten in the morning until five in the afternoon, the
attendance of one or more persons have been always re-
quired in every one of the thousands of post-offices and
rural receiving houses throughout the kingdom, from
five till nine or ten o'clock in the evening, to receive
prepaid and registered letters, and to give out letters,
and to answer official inquiries, and which attendance
will in future be unnecessary.
-METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.—
The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Sewers held a
special meeting yesterday, at the offices, Greek-street,
Soho. square, confirming a bye-law with respect to the
appointment of an engineer-iu-cbicf ; and also for the
purpose of appointing Mr. Frank Foster to that office,
in pursuance of such bye-law. The meeting was ap-
pointed
for twelve o'clock, the usual hour ; but it was
twenty-five minutes to one before ten commissioners
arrived, which is the quorum of a special court. They
were Sir John Burgoyne (who presided), Mr. Hawes,
Si Sir H. de la Beche, Mr. Lawes,
bin 11aerPdbweeicelr7b M.r'
Captain Harness, Captain Dawson, Mr.
Pete, M.P., and Captain Vetch. After the bye-law had
been read and confirmed, the appointment of Mr. Foster
to the office of engineer was formally moved by the
chairman, and seconded by Mr. Stephenson. Mr. Pete
observed that though he had never been associated with
Mr. Foster in the execution of any public work, he had
had frequent opportunities during the last fifteen years
of observing his talents
.in connexion with some of the
largest works in the kingdom ; and he had no hesitation
in saying it was impossible to have selected a more
efficient person. The motion was then carried unani-
mously ; after which the business of the special court
terminated. According to the notice an ordinary court
should have been held "at half-past twelve o'clock pre-
cisely," but the commissioners immediately after the
_
closed doors. Considerable time elapsedbefore special court unexpectedly went into committee with
the
business of the ordinary court commenced, and, as usual,
it was disposed of with great rapidity.
