A Bold of blank barley was cot, carried stacked, by Mr. Mills, at Longford Lodgy, during the past weex. Bout Uarvnicte. A field of outs has beeu cut this week in a close near Help-stone tation. A few patches of barley have been out this week in tbe neighbourhood of Spalding.

A farmor at a farm also in resnini: wheat in tbe earlv part of the week in that count. Stamford Mercury. East Loiiiian. About tbe 20 th of June, almost every description of crop wus progressing in a state of the highest luxuriance, and gave promise of produoing a more bulky return of straw than has' been in prospect at the same period tbo season for several previous years. Seldom.

has such anticipation been more completely Dnriug turee wceus subsequent to tue period mentioned, tbe weather assumed an unsettled and boisterous character; withering winds prevailed through tbe day. and were verv frequently acoompanied by exceedingly cold nights. Although a few showers occasionally fell, they were altogether neutralised by the tremendous gale of wind, which occurred the 3d lost. Those early fields of wheat that were muoh exposed to the storm suffered severely, from the stalks being twistea ana Dentin all sotiist the ultimate croduotiveness of many fields will be affeoted to the extent of several bushels per acre, mora particularly ou the harder after summer fallow, and wherever tbe crop was iu advanced state. Since about the 12tb of this month, the weather has proved of tbe most forciuK descriDtion: the at its commencement being iu a dry and parched con dition.

Finer weather for the wheat crop could hardly have desired the bloom bavins; been forced out with amazine rapidity. The thermometer on Sundav last stood ts in the shade at two clook, wnicu is the highest mark has attained this summer. The early wheat has not altogether esojped tbe ravages of tbe maggot, buttbe injury is of an extent that need create much alarm. It is presumed the insects must have effected an inroad before the weather commenced. Taking the winter and spring sowings as tbey now stand, tho probability is, that this de scription ol crop will prove rully more than an average.

In regard to barley and oats the prospeot is more doubtful, especially us to the latter. There bas been by far too little muisture in the ground of late toadmitof this orop flourish in a eatismctory manner, many tleius that three weeks ago promised toyieldavcry targe cropof botb'strawand corn have a very different aspeot the straw bas oeased to lenutben and this orop is' languishing sadiy fur a shower. The oeans blossomed beautifully, hut on tioreu materially from the effeota of the high winds and oold nights, when at a critical stage; and recently, from the suu having been too scorch me blossom ou tne upper pare ox tue stum nas never set. Withiu the last few davs some fields show symptoms of di sease, by the straw getting prematurely blaok in the uni)er of the stalu consequently nils crop is uniixeiy to produce more than a moderate yield. There have as yet been deiided indications of the potato crop getting diseased, it is now exceedingly unlikely that a very abundant produce can be expeoted in this county.

What with high winds scorching beat, without a sufficiency of moisture at the roots, their growth has of late been brought to a perfect stand still, roe harvest will now he muen earner tuan was one time anticipated, certainly not later than the middle August; some quantity of barley nnd wheat will fall by tbe sickle pot later than the nvddle of August. Since this report reached us, showers bavo fallen, wbiotr must be pro- auotive ox great ucneut.j naviuurgn averting manner. lxtBXAND. Whilst we feet it necessary to state tue paintut fact that the potato blight has made further progress within the present week, in some of the southeru counties, we yet cau see no ground for alarm, as to tbe safety of tbe bulk of tbe croo. We have carefully (tone over all the accounts and we find that tbo bligbt, in a mitigated form, is confined Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and one or two other oountiei.

The northern and midland counties, so far as we can learn, are yet free from tbe opidemio, with some few exceptions of material coniequenoe. From Oavan we have the following communication Ballyoonnell (Cavan), July 24. The potatoes here are very flue some few bad, but not many. There are many reports, but 'most of them greatly exaggerated it certainly bas appeared in places, but it was not tu be supposed that all the seed was good." We hear very little, even in the way of rumour, about tbe appearance the blight iu the west. The Gal a ay Vindicator, received day, ts quite silent on the subjeot.

A friend wbo arrived this day from the south, after spending some days in Cork and us that the disease has certainty appeared various districts, especially in the latter county but the statements as to its extent were most conflicting and the general hope and belief were that tbe proportional loss would not be greater than last year, iu a crop of treble the produce. A clergyman of tbe established church thus writes to a goutleman iu this city, whohaa favoured us with a copy of tbeletter: "Newport, (Tipperary), July 24. The potato bligbt is spreading rapidly here; within tbe last few days every field has become blaoh, although tbe tuber is not yet materially affected. It wilt become eo, do doubt. God only knows what will be the result." It is manifest that tbe disease, asdesoribed in this tetter, is greatly abated in vtmleuoe, as compared with previous years.

The Limerick Chronicle states that the leaves and stalks of tbe plants are discoloured in many fields, but expresses the belief that the blight is yet but partial, and one instance is specified in the barony of Keury, where a field, supposed to be incurably affected, turned out fine sound potatoes on the digging. We gather from the Cork Exanqncr that tbe crop iu that vast county generally safe so far. To sum up: the fair inference from all our accounts is, tbat the blight is still confined to a limited range, chiefly affecting tbe sulks only and that there mueh more alarm than tbe facts warrant. We still confidently trcst, through the mercy of the Almighty, that there will be an abundant supply of sound potatoes from the present orop. Dublin Evening Post of Thursday.

Tbe ministerial white-bait dinner, as at present arranged, will take plaoe at tbe Crown aud Sceptre, Greenwich, on Saturday, the 3d of August. Tub Wild Dogs of Capelakd. The wild doss, or wilde hondon," as they are termed by tbe Dutch Boers, are still abundant iu the precincts of tbe Cape colony, and are met with in great numbers throughout the interior.

On disturbing a pack, they trot leisurely along oviore tue intruder, repeateaiy muting ana looking back at him. The females bringforth their young in large holes, in desolate open plains.

These burrows are connected with one another underground. When a troop of wild docs, frequenting these holes, observe man approaching, they do not, aa might be supposed, take shelter in tbe holes; but, rather trusting to their speed, they rush forth, even thouR-h the intruder should be eloee upon them, and retreat across the plain, the young ones, unless very weak, accompanying tkenu The devastation occasioned by them among the ttocka of the pastoral Irutcti xsoersis inoonoeivablels It constantly happena that when the careless shepherds leave their oharge, in quest of honey or other amusement, a pack of these marauders comes across tbe defenceless flock.

He believwTthat the burgesses were no longer frightened by tbe name of a that tbey felt-that they might' safely-trust tbe government of the borough to the partfos whom they might eleot. The toast was drank with great apptanse. Tho -Mayor of Makcbestsb, in rospondiTig to tbo-toast, said that he trusted ''that on the retrosmwt nt.ttia last twelve years, none of them could doubt ikat-' under, tho mtfTiTmnal nmntinaTil nf .1.

0 v. -ut, umyunum. Ereai progress and improvement had beeu made in thi town of Manchester, and tbat the corporation of Manchester had conscientiously, 'disinterestedly, and faithfully diieharged" their duties. (Applause.) He could assure them that tbe gentlemen whom they honoured with tbeir confidence had no means -easy work to perform. Tbe great difficulties which at first beset the- corporation had been happily surmounted, bnt the labours tbat bad devolved upon the individual members of that body had infinitely increased, and were daily increasing; and any gentlemsn who might in future occupy tbe position of mayor of Manchester greatly deoeived himself if he fancied that he his oiium aim disnitate, for whatever might be the dignity and the privileges of that high office, he could not take upon himself those advantages without at the same time also taking upon himself laborious duties, which- he was sure tbat no one v.

bo possessed that enviable distinction would ever shrink from performing to tbe best of his abilities. (Applause.) He believed tbat whether they, looked to the social, moral, or physical position of Manchester, they would sea evidences of a great change for the better during the last fooi I. i England wasof the utmost importance, and as Manchester was second to no town, perhaps not even to the metropolis, its bearing upon tbe well-being of the country, be hoped that the oitizens of Manchester would ever retain that position which Manchester entitled them' to. After assuring them of tbe pleasure that it gave him to be present at that dinner, be said tbat the magistrates of this district felt tbe position of tbe licensed victuallers to be one of great importance; and tbey also felt that they were muoh indebted for the great support which had been oonstantly rendered to the authorities by the Licensed Victuallers' He did not mean to say thst theydid not occasionally want well looking after; but be firmly believed tbat no-similar body in any part of the kingdom was better regulated, and although they perhaps enjoyed some privileges that were not universally extended through the country, although some people said that tbey had ratber too much of a monopoly, oonceived that tbe prinoiple adopted and carried out by tbe magistracy since the incorporation. tad acted well; and trusted that their successors would see the necessity of acting upon this principle.

(Applause.) He did not think that their numbers should be indefinitely inoressed on the the contrary, he remembered tbat many years ago it was his father's principle with reference to that association, thatit was undesirable unnecessarily to increase their numbers. He believed that the prinoiple which had been anted on ever since the incorporation of the borough had bean this, that no applications.tornew licenses had been complied with, unless the magistrates were satisfied that the increase of building aud of population in a particular locality was such that further accommodation was required. In the second place, the magistrates bad taken care that under no circumstances licenses should be granted to premises which were insufficient or inadequate to carry on the trade. His worship conoluded by again expressing the gratification of tbe magistrates with the past conduct of the licensed victuallers Manchester and Salford, his own pleasure at meeting them that day, and the satisfaction with whioh he noticed that the profits of tbat dinner were to be devoted to benevolent purpose. (Loud applause.) Tbe Chaibhan next gave The mayor and corporation of Salford," which was drunk iu the most cordial manner, and was acknowledged in appropriate terms by the Maor of Salford.

The Chairman then proposed "The towns and trade of Manchester and Salford." It was drunk with great applause. Mr. Wiluau Gibb responded. Tbe prosperity of tbe licensed victuallers' business depended entirely ou the prosperity of the trade of Msuohester and Salford, and the manufacturing districts, and he was sure that the success of that trade had their best wishes. (Applause.) Tbe trade of Manchester extended over the known world: let us hope that wherever, the trade of Manchester and Manchester calicoes are known, the intelligence, and respectability, and uprightness of the tradesmen of Manchester would be known also: and that they would carry civilisation and a knowledge of what we iu tiiis country enjoy as free men, to all parts of the world.

The licensed victuallers were now saddled with many taxes and oharges with whioh other parts of the community were not charged, and as the cbanaellorof the exchequer bad uow a. surplus oror the expenditure, bo thought tbat it would be well to try to gee ria ox sucu cnarges. Alley naa to psy- window duty for conducting tbeir business, which no otherxtrade in England bad and be did not know why tbey should be obliged to pay fur licenses to carry on their any more than other tradesmen. (Applause.) The next toasts given. from the chair were tbe healths of "The members for tbe boroughs of Manchester and Salford aud the southern "division of the county," and of "Tho magistrates for the boroughs of Manchester and Salford." In responding to the last toast, Mr.

Alderman Watkins said tbat tbe magistrates of Manchester and Salford folt strongly tho facility with whioh tbey were enabled to come to a decision when tbey had to deal with members of tbat association. It was a very easy matter to brine subjects of doubt aud difficnltv before mo magistrates, anu uie parties bringing tuem were not actuated by a desire to have and receive justice, it became frequently a very difficult matter to decide. The Mayor of Manchesteh theu proposed "The Manchester and Salford Licensed Victuallers' Association." He believed tbat the rules and regulations which had been from time to time adopted by that association had been of sreatadvantaee to tho community. He congratulated the association ou tho satistactory position wnioh they occupied as an association, and upon being able to assemble in such cumbers and respectability, and upon the benevolent purposes that were conneoted with tbe association. Tbo toast was drunk with all the honours.

Mr. the chairman of the Manchester and Salford Licensed Victuallers' Association, responded to it. He referred to the earlv difficulties with which he and others had had to contend, in the formation of luo association; out seated that they were now making progress, although the liaensed victuallers wore far from being so much alive to tbeir own interests, in connection with that association, as tbey ought to be. He described, at some leiiKth, the benevolent institutions which had been established by the London Licensed Victuallers' Asiociation, bun iua wpiuui ui ueueaseu TiuLuaucrs, ana as a home for decayed members. The benevolent fund in connection with the Manchester and Salford association, was now getting on well.

Mr. Bake congratulated tbe members oi tue society upon tne prospect they had or carrying out the benevolent purposes of the institution, and also upon the expressions, with respect to them. had fallen from the magistrates wbo had addressed them. Only let them conduct tuemseives with then they need never be afraid of a policeman comingnear them, or of going to the Borough Court to face a magistrate. (Laughter and applause.) Tbe next toasts were 11 The brewers and spirit merchants of Manchester and Salford," and ''The president," both of whieb were drunk with loud applause.

Mr. Redfoud, tbe secretary of the association, said that one great object of the association was the formation of a benevolent fund, for the education of orphans. They had now made such arrange ments that if they could not have a school of their own, they would have an opportunity of sending their children to Ibe school belonging to tbe Loudon Licensed Victuallers' Association, which was a most exoellent institution. Subscriptions in aid of the benevolent fund were then announced by gentlemen present, to thonmonut of about 130, including subscriptions of five guineas each, from the chairman aud the Mayors of Manchester and Salford. The remaining toasts were "The vice-presidents," "Tho visitors," nd "The officers and committee of the The Chairman then vacated the chair.

Altogether a very pleasant evening was spent: the speeches being interspersed with songs and glees, by a party of singers under the direction of Mr. William Figot. A man named Finney, who was employed in stacking hay near Botherham, on Saturday week, leaped to the earth, aud came in contact with the shaft of a hayfork, which pene trated about eight inches into his body, injuring nun so frightfully that he died on the following Monday.

On inquiry, it turned out that tbe box arrived sate at the inn in London on tbe ounday rught, and was as usual placed together with other parcels by tbe same jwnvsyance in a room which was ostensibly tmaraed by a watchman.

Considerable interest bas also been added by gifts from scientific and li terary institutions in London and as vs ell as by several contributions from anthers and publishers.

Tho oommiitee cspeciully to allude to the osslstonoe derived through Mr. Thomas S. Woodcock, of Mew from tbe fiovernment of the United States, from Judge Johnson, of King's County, tbe latter having liberally contributed a copy of tho valuable work on tbe natural history of tho United States. Also from tbe councils tbo Brooklyn and the BmUbsonian institutions of tho United States, nnd numerous American authors, as showing tbat the interest felt In this library is not oa ufl nod to this country. Since the opening of tbo library and reading rooms tbe attention of the committee bas been chiefly directed towards tho muieum, and tbey hare tbe pleasure to report favourably of tbe pKgreas made in this branch of the institution.

A Luge room has been set apart and fitted with upright and horizontal case), as tbe first step towards exhibiting the dosa-tlai-s tu the museum. This room Is intended for specimens in ZLtologr, entomology, conchglogy. and curiotdtlos. The arrange' ni ou of tbo tsptronnens by Mr. I'Jant, tbe experienced curutorided -by tbe valuable assistance of Mr.

John George Iteming, one of the hoDOrury curators. Is progressing mostimtlblkctcrily, and will, in a few daj be completed, wben the public will be admitted gratuitously, and the other departmen's of tbe museum will then bo proceeded witb. Thus, in tbe abort space of twelve muntbs, by tbe united elfiirts of tho town council and the library assoclatlin tbo pubJic have been provided with a library of 6,300 volume, and ths ground work of a mucum, to which all can have admission free of cost. The committee have again to express their warmest thanks to Mr. William Foyater, tbe non.

secretary, wbose untiring perseverance has beeu moat icscrumcntal in carrying out the objects of this association. Only those wbo have attended tbe meeting of the committee can form a proper idea of the trouble and anxiety it bas cost him. Astnuchof theuuccafciof tho institution, and the amount of good to bo derived by tbuse who take advantage of it, depends up.m tbe cbue of literature selected, tbe committee deem It of tba ft rat importance tbat Ibe library should contain such atandard worKs omy as wtu oest moc odjoclb, usvingune regard to the character and usefulness of tba books, and their adaptation to the waata of tbe different clatMM of readers wbo frequent the library. The committee have therefore endeavoured to procure such works as will, in their Judgment, afford tbe greateat amount of useful knowledge commenurate witb tbe sum expended. 1 be encouragement which tbe committee bave received.

Inducts tbem to persevero in tbeir endeavours to make the institution as widely useful in tbe various branches of literature, science, and art. as practicable. With this view tbey hope, by the aid of additional ontributiuns, and the co-operation and valuable afcdatanco of tho museum committee ot the town council, to establish, incounecUon witb tbe institution, a geological museum, as well as a gallery art. Towards tbe former, tbe rial ford Uas Committee, and O. IV.

Urmerod, isq. have contributed aevtroi. vory valuable aveolnwtm; and towards the latter, Mr. Alderman Agnevr, Mr. C.

A. Duval, and afr. Had field have made most valuable contributions. Tbe formation of a picture gallery haa tho warm advocacy of the Lent Biahop of Manchester, and many other patrons of art, as well as artists of celmlty. a sub-cominlUec bas formed for tbe purpose of inviting contributions of art and frcleocu, a well as pecuniary assistance, to enable tbem to carry out the project satis- factorily.

The committee are of opinion that this will bts a mesas of indue inz. amonaat the workixur ctnaus. a taste for art and science, and of exciting a splrU emulation. Application haa been mado tat a tprant of coals frum the antique, in the British Muec-nm, and tbe committee have some hopes of success. Shots Id their anticipation be realised, thcite cbiLs of the beat specimens of ancient art, would proveamost valuable addition to tbe institution.

Although, as the committee believe, a larne amount of good has been accomplished by tbe aid and support already received, yet a wide field of luelulneM is still before tbem, where much more may be effected by increasing tbe extent and efficiency oi the institution. It is a pleasing fact, and one well worthy of remark, tbat a large proportion of chose who avail themselves of tbe beneUt of the institntJon, are joung persons, la whoso minds tbe habit of reading, and a taste for mtelieotual Instruction, are thu promoted. This inspires tbe hope that the i2efnlnea of the institution will spread xmongct the population cf this great centre of manttfacturing Industry. These vnjideratIoas induce the committee earnestly to hop that the Inter eat which baa already been evinced for tbe carrying out of this nndertokinf will be continued, and tbat all who can contribute either la money, books, specimens of works of art, will lead theur willing "-rttTsr" in advancing tbe niefulneas cf this free public Tbe report was unanimously received, snd ordered to be entered on the minutes of tbo Mr. Gxjidau, then moved That the thankaof the cHttincil be riven to tht ctsmmlt nt Salford JBorongb Hoyal Museum and Ubnurj JmxUlloa, tor their earnest and untiring zeal in promoting so sncceaaf ully tba exten-aion and iaefnlnes of tbe Saliord Llorary and Unscnm, and that a continuance of their cxertbms id most respectfully relocated ia tug imuit, Mr.

I was in a sequestered beud of the river, whore the banks for several acres were densely clad with lofty reeds and grass, whioh towered above my head as I sat on my norea'a back.

Beyond tbe reeds and grass were trees of all sixes, funning a deuse shado this is the general character of the banks of the Limpopo, as far I have yet seen. alowtv returning to mv came in anvthine but Rood limnt'iir at mv want of success with the game I had just been after, when, behold, an ante ope of tbo most exquisite beauty, aud utterly unknown to sportsmen or naturalists, stood ttmaAftitfa in mv uatb. lookioc me full in the face It was a princely old bu ck of the serolomoedooqae of tho Bakalahari, or busbbuck of the Limpopo. He earned a very fine wide-cat pair of horns. On beholding him I was struck with vtonderasd delight.

My heart beat with excitement. I sprang from my saddle, but before I could fire a shot this gem of' beauty bounded into tbe reeds, and was lost to my tight. atth.t mnnent I would have Sliven half what I possessed in this world for si broadside at that lovely antelope, and I at rraatred not to Droceed farther on my expedition until 1 had captured him, although it should cost me the labour of a. month.

TUB APPROACHES TO SPUIKGF1ELD LANE BRIDGE. Tl, TiiTH.rr pn if rand thn following renort UDOn this sub ject, from the improvement committee.

It was unanimously received Your committee regret to have to report tbat now aud entirely unexpected obstacles to the formation of the approach to this bridge on the Salford side of tbo liver have arisen, liy the former report of our cumuli Itee on this matter, tbe council were ul ty informod of tho nature ot the agreements entered into with tbo lanoouners in the vicinity, wl th i espect notonlytotbe bridge, but the approaches, and that ou this council undertaking to superintend the execution of the work considerable tutMcriptions wore promised by hind-owners near the locality, and other gentlemen resident in tbo neighbourhood. A Very considerable portion of these subscriptions have been paid up, and the bridge 19 in a very font aid state, and no doubt is entertained of the contractors completing it within tbe specified time, liy the agreement made between your committee and Air. IJcarman lor tne land to form tbe approach on the tialford side, it was, amongst other things, exprewily etipulated, on tbe part ot Mr. lloarman. that the bridge and the approach ehonld be completed by a certaiu date, and that Mr.

Lleurman should, on receiving notice lrom the committee, remove, at his own expense, hts lodge, which ia situate ou liartot the bltebt the proposed approach. The time epeclded la cnta agreement for completing Ibe bridge and approach being near at hand, your committee commenced arrangemeula to make the approach, and on the second of this month gave Mr. Dearman notioc lo remove his lodge; but, to tbe surpriiio of jour committee, be hesitates lo comply. He alleges that the lodge is untenanted, and that he Is net only ready tn nimnlv with his enKaseuieat i but that he ia pre vented by a person who onus, or claims tu own, a chief rent issuing out of au extensive plut of land, of which the site of this small lodgo forma part, on tbe pretext tbat, by removing this building, big becurity tor tbe chief rent will be lewencd. Mr.

Dearman ten that he wan, use time ago, served with a formal couce by this person, cautioning him not to tale down the buildiug; and that on his (Mr. Dearnianl removing the gates tbe other day, a furthor notice to the like effect was served upon him. Your committee aro of opmlon tbat tbey cannot proceed with tbe approach until tilts lodge 1j removed, and all tbe land required to form the site of the new street placed at their disposal and that, if the matter is permitted to be delayed further, perhaps greater difficulties may arise to the making of this spproach to the bridge. Mr. Alderman Wobball moved That It be an-instmction to the improvement committee to adopt all anch proceedings as they may be advised as Decenary and proper, whether at law or lu equity, to enforce the perf nrm-once of Uie agreeu.ent between Ibis corporation and Mr.

iiearman and referred to In the aacie report, and that they bu authorised to retain the town-clerk to Institute and conduot such proceedings. He thought tbe council migbt safely leave this matter in the bands of tbe improvement cominitteo, as he was quite satisfied they would not take any steps to which tbey were not compelled with regard to legal proceedings. A large sum of money bad'been expended by the corporation, as well as by individual subscribers, on tbe works consequent upon the erection of the Springfield Lane bridge; and be thought it became a duty of the council to tuko care tbat tbe bridge was thrown open, and tbepublio received the fall advantage of tbeir contribaiions, at as early a petiod as possible. The improvement committee bad not neglected, nor would tbey neglect, any thing which could ensure tue speedy completion of the bridge: it woald, indeed, have been completed ere now, but for the necessity of making an alteration in tbe original design for tbo palisades; but these were now being proceeded witb, snd the large snm due to the contractor, would, he (Mr. Aldermau Worrall) thought, bo a sufficient stimulus to him to get it finished as soon as possible.

The borough surveyor bad instructions to visit the works daily and the delay in removing tbe lodge referred to was now tbe only impediment to the completion of the bridge and its approaches. Mr. GaSDALL seconded the motion- Mr. T. Cbadwics; said the objection with regard to tbe cbief rent was ao ridiculous, that be thought the council nn tn ha nut ia Dossasiao of the name of tho gentleman by whom it was made.

Mr. T. Mabsdut said he saw so reason why tbe name should be withheld: the person alladed to wss Mr. John Harding. It would be recollected tbat, for tbe benefit of that part ot the borough, the council originally agreed to give .1,000 towards the expenses, on the bridge and its approaches being completed to their sstistACtion.

Mr. Harding and Mr. Haitson Dsarman were tbe principal owners of land to that netghboarhood. vv net tier tne council as uiav uuw mm iu msktag such a promise, was another question tbe promise waa made, and from the conditions neither the improvement committee oor the council bad departed until lately. It was well known that many difficulties had from time to time arisen, ia consequence of which the bridge ecald not be completed.

Tbe 'prisoners had been apprehended tinder war-' rauts granted on the previous day. magistrates upon benoh were Messrs. JP. B. Hodgson, Alderman Shuttle-worth, Alderman Walker, John Sharp, and Matthew Kennedy.

Mr. Stephen Heelis(of the firm of Slater itdHeeUs) said be appeared there to. charge the prisoners with an offenoe under the 16th Geo. IT. o.

101," sec. 3," commonly inown' as the "Intimidation Act." There bad recently been a turn-out of self-acting minders in Messrs. BirleyC mill, andaioco that time the turn-outs had resorted to a system of plcquetiogaad watching the mill, with the avowed object of preventing other men going to work iu theirplaces. Mr. Heolia briefly stated the nature of the evidence to be offered, and then called Mr.

T. Birley, ons of the partners tbo firm of Birley and Co. He said that, six or seven 'weeks there baa. been a turn-cntof sslf-actinir minders their mill. Since that time, be had seen the premises mum.

noj wskugu, ran irons du ho uau uwn, usu reason to apprehend tbst tbo turn-outs had resorted to' violenoe. By Mr. W. P. Roberta (ou behalf of the prisoners) reason of the torn -ont was, that he bad asked meu iu one' room of the milt to work with fewer piecors, being anxious to reduce tbe cost of production.

The result the chauge, of which he'had given the bands notice, would have been to send seven men 'out of one room. In event of bis finding it practicable tn do without p'ecers, should have extended the system throughout the mill. He had seen the placard produced. Mr. Roberts said be believed that the issuing of that bill was tbe most violent demonstration the men had yet made.

James Clegg: lam in Mr. Birley's employment, asaminder self-acting mules I began to work there last Wednesday. Friday last I was going to my work a little after one o'clock, and when I had got nearly at the Oxford Road Twist Company's Mill, a young man came up to mo; he is nut there in tbe dock. He was with a party of 10 or 12 others, the prisoner, William Hargreaves, being one of them. The young man asked me if I worked for Mr.

Birley, and I said Yes." He said, Do you kaow what you are doing you know jou'ro knob-sticking!" I said I was not aware of it. He then said You're au old man, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself, to take the bread out of young men's mouths;" to which 1 replied that I had been out oi work a considerable time, and that I was in embarrassed circumstances, and wanted bread to eat as well as young men. Hargreaves then asked me if I intended to go my work again or not and I said that I should be obliged go to it again, fori bad some things in the mill and could not get 'them ont without going there again, Hargreaves said; We will give you till to-night, and if you don't give your employment you must bide by the consequences; we will either have your life, or make you tbat you will not be able to work agaiu. When you've served Mr. Birley's purpose, and things ge.t settled and we get our employment again, he'll kick you out, and you'll be left a disftraoe to yourself." I told them tbat I would consider of it.

and after that they let me go. I went to work in tlieaflernoon, and in the evening, when I was going had reached about the same place, the prisoner, Owen Bullis, with ten a dozen others, came up to me. Bullis said, Well, old man, have you made up your mind!" I said, "What do you meant" He said, Respecting giving up your employ ment: you promised us to give it op to-mgut; aoyou intend do sol" I replied that I oould not well give up my employment then, for tbe next dav would be Saturday, and 1 should want my wages, and I thought it was not right to leave my work without giving notice or eomethini; to tbat effect. He said, Well, your week was up ou Thursday morning, at breakfast time, and you'll get your wages; lint 1 1 trtvA (111 lA.mn.miB ,1 rrl 1 1 rl if'vmi Pi" work after to-morrow niobt, you must take what follows." I worked on Saturday, and got my wages. I went to work on Monday, and worked all day.

In the evening, ss I woe Koino home, another of the prisoners (Michael Winters), with several others, came up to me about the same place. Winters said to me, I tuoufctut you wasn't going work after Saturday." I said. Yes. i did sav so. but I've altered my mind." He then asked me, "Do you ineaiiiftu go to worn any more i a repueo, ua you want a positive answer, whether I intend to sive up mv employment or not!" and ha said, Yes." Well then," said I csudidly tell you I will not givo up my work." mat tune a crowa naa aoiiectea rauua, ana was alear'd being edged in but Winter said, Dou't be alarmed, old man." I said to him, "I have given you an answer, aud now do let me eo boms in peace." Yes." be replied.

vou shall go home in peaoe we will not mislest you, but we will wnero you live." 1 lound they were disposed to trace home, and I felt afearM so instead of iroiuir home.I took another direction. A person named William Foster was with me he is a fetlow-workmsn. The orowd followed me until I got to tbe police station, where I went in the police me out at the bsok door in about au hour afterwards, and I eventually got safe home. I wasin oonaequepce the threats of the parties. By Mr.

Roberts: I wss born Manchester; but I did uot know any of the prisoners. I not kaow anything of the disturbance between the men, about the piecers, before I went there; I have not been molested since Monday evening I have no animosity against any of the prisoners I only want to go backwards and forwards to my work in peace I will swear that tbe words about taking my life were made use of. Thomas Mulvey corroborated Clegg's statement in its moat essential points, and said thst on one of the occasions referred to he saw the prisoner Picketing in company with Hargreaves. Thomas MCabe sold that he was in Charles-street on Friday last, a little after one o'clook; tbat be saw Clegg with a crowd about and that Hargreaves and Fickerintt went no" him, and asked hfm if be was jgoing to give up work. He Tnli-f! til thine i.mt i .1 1 1 Ti.liTr.li ,1, antA that they wouu give uim until tuat evening to give up; ana that if be would not sive over work, be muat mark tbe consequences.

James Perkins said tbat he was in the employment of Messrs. Birley. There bad been a turn-out in the mill recently, and the mill had been lately watched by some tbe turn-outs. What he meant by watching was, that parties walked backwards and forwards past tbe mill, to prevent individuals going to work. On Friday evening last, he was directed to follow Clegg and be then saw Owen Bullis, who was one of the turn-outs, go np to him near tbe lodge of the Oxford Road Twist Company.

He said to him, Now, my man, what do you intend to do! Will you do as you promised, and cease working to-night! Do you intend to go any more!" Clegg replied, Tbey would not pay me my wages if 2 was to give over now." Bullis then said Yes, I thiuk they would pay you for what you have done aud then added, We will give you till Monday to consider of it, and you then must mark the consequences." Oa cross-examination, he said: The turn-out bas been going on for about seven weeks. The turn out was owing to the master wishing to reduce the pay, or something of that eort. I have uot been treated with any violence, and lam working at Messrs. Birley's mill still. Re-examined It was reported what was the reason of tbe turn-out, but I was not told by any one in power.

Jobn Broom said that there had been a turu-out in Messrs. Birley's mill, and be bad since seeu partiea apparently watching it. After corroborating tbe evidence of tbe last witness, as to what occurred near the Oxford Road Twist Company's lodge, on Friday, he stated be was ordered to go home with Clegg on Monday evening, and that when they got to the same spot, Michael Winters and Thomas Lowe came up to Michael Winters said," Well, old man, it is a fine day." Clecg said, Yea, it is," and Winters then said, Are you an Englishman aud Clegg making no answer, he continued, I think you are not an Englishman I think you are a devil, that is what yon are." Winters followed Clecir a considerable distance on his wav home, talking to him from time to time asking him if be knew what a "knobstick" was, and telling him that he ought 10 oe asnamea ot uimsetf. He also sail, that Clegg did not leave off working, he would lick him so that he would never spin any more. Winters did not, however, offer to strike Clegg.

Mr. W. V. Roberts then addressed the bench on behalf of the prisoners at great length. The magistrates remained in consultation together for some time, and Mr.

Hodgson then said that tbey had given the facts of the case their best consideration, and, notwithstanding all that bad been said, and well said too, by Mr. Roberts, tbe bench bad no question either as to tbeir own jurisdiction iu the matter, or as to the proper mode in which the prisoners hsd been brought there. Tbe only object that the magistrates sitting there could have was to prevent the recurrence of offences of this description, and as there bad not beeu any offences of this kind for some time, tbey did not intend to deal heavily with the prisoners. But they gave them notice that if any recurrence of these practices took place, the offenders would be more severely dealt with than the present prisoners would be. They bad rendered themselves liable to be imprisoned for three months, but the bench wished to be tbe medium of communication between them and tbeir empleyers, and if possible to settle the dispute which had arisen between them, and so prevent any repetition of the offence which had been committed.

For the present offence the prisoners would be committed for seven days with hard labour, and it was the hope of the bench tbat neither tbe prisoners nor anv others would in future transirreES the law for if ibev did, the magistrates would have to put the full force of the law into operation. The prisoners were then removed from the dock iu custody. A salmon, weighing 3S3i, was caught in the Trent, at Holme, a few days since. HCMTHia Caueleopabjds Fresh spoor of buBalo and camelopard became abundant, and about breakfast-time, as we were crossing an elevated slope ia the vicinity of the Ngotwani, I had the felic'ty to detect a magnificent herd of the latter browsing in the middle of the strath, about balf-a-mile to our left. As I had enjoyed very little sport with camelopard either in this or in last expedition, my time and attention having always been engrossed with elephants, I resolved to avail myself of this opportunity, and accordingly, having canght a couple of my mares, I rods for them, accompanied by Booi as after-rider.

I had directed my men to out, pan, and my intention was, if possible, to hnot one of the camelopards to my camp, bat ia this I failed. On disturbing the herd, tbey separated into two divisions, one of which took right away down wind, being a taU-on-end chase from mv camo: the finest boll went with this division, and him I followed. After a sharp burst of awui a mile, i Beaded and laid him low with two suois behind the shoulder.
