FRIDAY.

Before Mr Commissioner Atoahall. Be Edward French, eating-house keeper and licensed victualler, Newcastle on Tyne. The bankrupt came up on the question of last examination and discharge, and was supported by Mr Beckington Mr J. T. Hoyle, in the absence of a trade assignee, representing the Crown.

There being no opposition offered, the bankrupt was allowed to pass his examination, and obtained his discharge. Re T. Wilson, builder, Newcastle on Tyne. This was an adjourned discharge meeting. Mr Harle said it was now his privilege to repeat the request he made ou Wednesday, that his Honour would give the bankrupt his immediate discharge.

Since ho made that application one of the most elaborate attacks ever made on any bankrupt in that court had been delivered byMrScaife; but he was confident that, after the perusal of the voluminous evidence, his Honour would give his client credit for good intentions, wherever he might have erred from ignorance or Vi yA- Af'er remarking that Mr Scaife only represented Mr Gibson, the bankrupt's late partner, and Mr Cuthbert JUurmip. the umpire in the arbitration, he proceeded to read a document, signed by 26 creditors, sympathising with the bankrupt his present unfortunate position, and expressing a hope that the immediate grant of his discharge by the Court would enable him to resume business at an early date. Passing on to deal with the facts of the case, lie said tho bankrupt and Mr Gibson were persons who originally became acquainted with two young women in the service of an eminent snlinifcnr in tnwr, tuq married from his house and became intimate friends. Wilson pursued the even tenour of his way, while Gibson a. "lul Husiwuti, to America.

Mr Scaife told them that, but did not tell them the state of poverty in which Gibson returned from the United Mates. On his return the bankrupt took him and made was the Partnership dispute took place Up to that time they found those parties proceeding in extensive works occasionally together, Wilson sometimes singly. He (Mr Harle) held in his hand some twenty large transactions well known in this neighbourhood in which the bankrupt was engaged he was a practical man, and well-known mason and contractor of established character; and down to June, 1859, ho enjoyed the respect and the dignified consideration of all those with whom he came in contact. In an evil hour and he must say that was the most painful part of this most painful case Gibson and Wilson signed a contract to refer all their partnership affairs and all their concerns to three parties Mr Cuthbert Bumup, Mr Johnson Hogg, and Mr Brown. But of all the agreements to refer that had ever come before him (Mr he never perused one so extraordinary as that now before the court.

He could not gather how they arrived at the which they said was due, but which nobody else believed was due, from the bankrupt to Gibs 9, His Honour He has proved the debt, I believe. Mr HARLE said he had, but there was a difficulty about that, and he told his friend at that stage that the creditors, if ever there was anything to divide, would certainly seek to expunge that proof. There was no doubt that in point of equity there were very serious defects in regard to that claim made by Gibson upon the bankrupt. Mr Scaife said that the arbitration having taken place the bankrupt should have stopped his business till the award was paid. But the debt did not accrue till the 10th of September.

His friend forgot to mention that the arbitrators had cash in hand, and that they gave Gibson 500. Hod Wilson benefitted? He was paid and was enjoined to pay to Gibson nearly dU.OOO on the 10th of September. The bankrupt was advised that the award was vulnerable; and was it in the ordinary course of things that when he doubted the authority of that award he should write his own condemnation in the town of Newcastle, and declare his insolvency? No. He said it was altogether uncharitable, severe, and unfeeling on the part of Mr Gibson to threaten to put this man in gaol when he knew that Ins own bookkeeping in any Court in England would not bear one moment's inpection. Touching next on the mortgaging of certain properties by the bankrupt to his brother, he said it appeared that the brother had lent him 2,600.

But then his friend said William Wilson was unable to lend that money. Now, the brother was a fish-curer, a railway contractor, a harbour contractor, he was now engaged at North Sunderland harbour, and was building a church at Holy Island he was a man engaged in large works well-known public works and yet his friend came there without the slightest knowledge, and deliberately charged William Wilson with perjury, and said he never had anything, ivas a miserable hsherman, a fabricator, and everything else. Ho asked his Honour to take William Wilson as speaking the truth till his statement was negatived by distinct and clear evidence, 011 which his Honour could act judicially. After commenting on the other facts of the case, Mr Harle concluded by commending the case to his Honour's impartial consideration, and expressing a hope that the judgment of the court would be satisfactory, to Mr Gibson, to tho bankrupt, and to the public. His Ho.nour intimated that, as the case was one of very great importance, in many points of view, he should very carefully go over the examinations, and would give his judgment on that day week.

MONDAY. Bofore Mr Commissioner The Messengers' Fees. Mr Lookey Harle made an application to his Honour in the case of a bankrupt named Young. He said that Young had been in prison, and was liberated hi the usual way by the Registrar, and declared bankrupt in that court, a creditors' assignee was chosen, and Young received his discharge. He had applied for a meeting for that discharge, and he paid thirty shillings, the fees of the messenger.

He then applied for a deed signed by his Honour to prove his discharge but, upon making that application, he was told that the messenger had a lien upon it for It was utterly impossible for him to pay that sum, at any rate for a very long time to come and he (Mr Harle) had therefore brought the matter before the court, to know whether, in such cases as that, the fees had" all to be paid by the bankrupt before the discharge was obtained. The point was, whether the messenger had to be paid by the bankrupt or the assignee. His Honour said he did not think lie could prevent the bankrupt obtaining his deed of discharge, but he would take time to consider the question. He H. Sugden, of the tirm of Hunter and Sugden, alkali manufacturers.

Newcastle. This (KlinnviinH meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr Hodge represented the assignees, and Mr Lockky Harle appeared for the bankrupt who was examined touching his accounts. Mr Hodge said further adjournments were of no use, as the 'Assignee was unable to find any further moneys than had been accounted for, and he would therefore offer no opposition. His Honour granted an immediate discharge.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE. FRIDAY. Before Aid. Dodds, A.

Niciiol, and John Carr, Esqs. Attempting to Cosijiit Suicide James Binnan, a young man, living with his father at tho Old Pack Horse, Pilgrim Street, was charged with attempting to throw himself into the river Tyne on Thursday moruiug. Policeman A. 19, stated that he was called upon about two clock in the morning of the above day, by one of the tidewaiters, when ho found the prisoner on the Quay with his coat nud hat oil; and about to throw himself into the water. The officer attempted to pacify him, but as he was doing so, he broke from him, and again ran away, seeming determined to commit the deed.

Tho prisoner, in reply to the Bench, stated that he was very sorry for the act. The Bench, in order to allow time for his recovery, remanded him for a week. Stealing Boots. James Lonsdale, boot nml shoemaker, was charged with stealing a pair of boots, value 3s. from the shop of Wilcock, Newgate-street.

The prisoner had been convicted about a year ago for stealing boots from the same place and to the present charge pleaded drunkenness, The Magistrates sentenced him to one mouth's imprisonment with hard labour. MONDjIY. Before Aid. 1NGLEDEW, and R. 1'lummer and C.

TUESDAY. Before the JIayou M. Ai-msfrmiir 0 i inuuoui, mm lliu l.uur.iv, UIKI IV. 1T1.U lill, JlSO. Garden Breaking.

Andrew Johnson, for stealing two coats, belonging to Messrs Angus and Adanison, from summer houses in gardens near the Leazes, was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment. DISEjVSED MEAT. Richard Young, cattle dealer, of Woolcr, was charged with being in possession of the carcase of a beast, unfit for human food. It appeared that, on the 4th instant Inspectors Walter Scott and Amos visited a shed at Bnr-don Pluce, near Brandling Village, and there found the carcase of a beast cut up for sale, but which presented a diseased appearance. The meat was examined by Mr Rayne, surgeon, who pronounced it to be unfit for human food.

The defendant stated that hn ws nnlv i-mn Al.l I missioned to sell the animal and when he brought it to market, about a fortnight ago, it was not affected by any disease, although it was not in high condition. He did not expose it for sale in the market, but left it in charge of a person, named Swiuiston, who hail subsequently sold it to a person whose name he (defendant) refused to mention; he also refused to mention the name of the party from whom he got the animal. The Bench considered that he must bear the penalty if he took the responsioiiiiy, ami tuey tiiereiore lined mm 5 and costs. Robert Harris, an extensive manufacturer of sausages and saveloys, appeared to answer a similar charge. Inspectors Amos and Scott visited the premises of defendant at Denton Lano, on Saturday morning, and sought admittance, but were told that the doors were fastened, and defendant was at the Butcher Market, Thither they proceeded, but defendant said he had not the keys, they being in possession of the shop boy, who had gone out for an uncertain period of time to delivor sausages.

Amos returned to the Denton Lane premises, and, having placed an officer in charge left, with the intention of returning. Shortly after he had left, the defendant and his brother (William Harris) made their appearance, and entered the place, followed by tbe policeman in charge. When the inspectors first visited the premises, they saw, through an aperture in tho door, portions of a beast, appearing to be in a diseased state and these pieces the defendant and his brother began to chop into still smaller portions immediately upon entering throwing amongst the saw dust in tho corner those pieces in whicli disease was most apparent. During the whole of their proceedings they used very bad and threatening language towards the policeman. After they had been at work a short time they went towards the door with tho intention of leaving the place, and locking it up; tho policeman's protestations against the re-fastening of the door were of no avail, for not only was that security taken against intrusion, but the policeman was locked in for some time.

On the arrival of the inspectors the defendant and his brother again made their appearance and after the party had been admitted to tho room, asserted that the meat should not be removed, as it was not bad. Mr Rayne, surgeon, had, in the meantime, been sent for and upon his arrival he examined the meat. He was of opinion that the animal of which the meat shown to him was a portion, had been labouring under lung disease when killed if killed at all. The defendant then, in an excited manner, handed him a piece of meat, and asked him if that was diseased ho replied that that was not the part in which to look for disease. The conduct of defendant and his companion had now grown very violent they threatened to chop off the bauds of any person who attempted to remove tho meat and William Harris two or three times pushed Inspector Amos towards the door.

Mr Rayne expressed his alarm at this conduct, and advised the officers to leave but, as they were aware that if such a course was followed the meat would quickly disappear, they remained until a body of police arrived, and assisted in removing tho garbage. Shortly after leaving the house, AVilliam Harris struck In spector bcott a sugnt wow on the bacli, apparently with the intention of causing himself to be taken into custody, and distracting the attention of the police from the meat, and thus to allow time for its abstraction. He was, however, unsuccessful in his purpose and the meat was safe ly conveyed to the Manors' Police Station. The Bench expressed their determination to put down such practices and fined defendant 5 and costs. Assault.

William Harris was then charged with assaulting Inspectors Amos and Scott in the execution of their duty. He was fined 5s. and costs in each case. WEDNESDAY. Before Aid.

Ingledew and It. Pluji-mer and C. F. Hamond, Esqs. More Diseased Meat.

Robert Ham's was again brought up, charged with having in his possession a quantity of meat unfit for food. Inspector Walter Scott said, on Monday afternoon ho went to a shed in Peel Lane, Thornton Street, where there was the carcase of a cow which he considered unfit for food, and which was the property of the defendant, he having paid 0 for the beast. It had been subsequently examined by Mr Rayne, who deposed to the bad character of the meat, the lungs of the animal being in a very diseased condition. The defendant, who was again very violent, was fined, as on a similar charge the preceding day, the sum of 5 and costs, which were paid. Assault and Stealing a Watch William Atkin and Thomas Wilson were brought up on remand, charged with assaulting lewis Jacob, on the 25th in Summer- hill Street, and stealing his watch.

As prosecutor was passing from Buckingham Street to Summerhill Street, the prisoners knocked him down, and ran off with his hat, stick, and watch. The watch had since been recovered Atkin was sentenced to six weeks' and Wilson to three weeks' imprisonment. Putrid Fish. Thomas Welsh, a hawker of fish, was charged with haying in his possession a quantity of fish, which was unfit for food, and which he had been ottering for sale in the Milk Market. Fined 20s.

Jessie McTraver, a young woman, was charged with stealing a quantity of female wearing apparel, from the Home for Destitute Women, Richmond Street, on Saturday. She had been an inmate of the Home for five weeks and, after disappearing on Saturday, the clothes were missing. P.C.

130 proceeded to Sunderland, where he apprehended the prisoner, and recovered the goods, which had been pawned. The Bench sent her to the House of Correction for three months. Trade Quarrels. William Ritson and Rohfc. Harrin were charged with using threatening language to John Turnbull.

The three parties named are butchers in the Market, and on Saturday last, after Harris's meat had been seized, he, in company with Ritson, had gone to the shop of prosecutor and had been very abusive, both expressing a desire to do for him." Harris was bound over on his own recognizances in the sum of 80, and two Rlll-OftaD nf ,.1. 1 VlMrnl i-.

Edward Lawson, of Longhirst Hall, to visit that place on Thursday, mustered in strong force at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon and, headed by their excellent band (under the leadership of Mr Smith), arrived at the hall about four o'clock. On reaching the principal entrance, the company was formed into line" and took open order," and, upon the appearance of Mr and Mrs Lawson, who were accompanied by a select party, presented arms." Mr Lawson, then, in a short but excellent speech, bade them welcome; and trusted that for many a year to come, he would enjoy their company on similar occasions to the present. But, as he had not brought them to Longhirst to hear' a long speech, he would tell them the immediate cause of the invitation which was to receive from the hands of his wife a flag, which, although strictly speaking as riflemen they did not absolutely require, yet he hoped it would be received and cherished by them ns a memento of the deep interest Mrs Lawson and he took in the.Vo-lnnteer movement. He briefly alluded to tbe excellent target practice which had recently, been made, and then gave the flag to Mrs Lawson. Mrs Lawson, on presenting the banner to Captain Brumell, said My husband having already expressed my own feelings towards the Volunteers, it only remains for me to beg yor acceptance of this banner, which I have had very great pleasure in working for you.

It is not much to have done for the cause, but I trust you will look upon it as the only proof I could give of my interest in you. For my part, I feel sure that so long as you keep it it will never be disgraced, but will ever be unfurled by brave and patriotic men by men who have already, perhaps, gained a moral victory for even now the great and powerful Volunteer force that has sprung up in this country, within the last few years, has been welcomed with a shout of approbation. It may be that the spirit thus manifested has kept war at a distance, and secured to us the blessings of peace. It may be that even now you have won a victory. At all events, I feel sure I am committing this banner to those who will be ever ready to fight for their Queen and country.

In so righteous and so holy a cause may God ever defend and protect you. Captain Brumell, on receiving the banner from Mrs Lawson, said that every member of the corps must feel the utmost gratitude to Mrs Law-son for the beautiful colour which she had presented to them that day beautiful as a work of art, but enhanced in value by tho associations connected with its presentation. Volunteers who urjperiooK tne pursuit ot arms not as a mere amusement, but from a sense of duty, had considerable sacrifices to make in money, time, and leisure; but any sacrifices which they might be called on to make were amply compensated tiy proceedings like the present, which shpwed that the services of the Volunteers were appreciated by those whose opinions were worth having, Tbe obligation that day was to Mrs Lawson; but they were also much obliged to that lady's very excellent husband, who had not only con- Di'iuuMju most generously to tne tunas ol the corps, but had also, by his influence, obtained for them several excellent men as members. He hoped that uiu uiiinier wouui long do preserved among the most cherished properties of the corps, and again he thanked Mrs Lawson for her present. The banner was then consigned to tho care of Ensign Jobling, and three hearty cheers were given by the corps and the whole of the spectators, in honour of Mrs Lawson's gift.

The corps were then marched into a park in front of the hall, and were put through a variety of manoeuvres, after which the command was given to pile arms and break off. The sports of tho afternoon commenced by an eighty yards foot-race which was won by Private Spearman, Private Adams coming in second. A long followed, Private Snaith taking the prize, Private AYliiu-ham being second. Jumping, foot-ball, and dancing followed, till about seven o'clock when tho welcome sound was heard to "fall in," without arms, but, no doubt, with excellent appetites. The company were marched into the very beautiful dining-room, where a most elegant repast awaited them; Mr Lawson presiding, supported on his right and left by Captain Brumell and the Hon.

and Kev. F. li. Grey, chaplain to the corps, and several others. After dinner, unlimited supplies of port and sherry were placed upon the tables and toast after toast followed each other in quick succession, each being received with great enthusiasm.

After another stroll in the park and grounds, the company was re-formed, and returned to Morpeth. The flag, which was borne home by Ensign Jobling, is of the most elegant character, being made of thick crimson silk, and massy fringe to correspond while in the centre is worked in silk the arms of the ancient borough of Morpeth, inscribed with the motto, Titter sylvan et. flumina habUans."

Sasiuelson Co's Combined Mowing and Reaping of the above-named machines underwent a trial of its powers, on Thursday last, in a field, belonging to Mr. John Benson, Grmdon Hill, near Haydon Bridge, in the presence of a large concourse of the neighbouring farmers nnd ns this was the first instrument of this description which ever made its appearance in the district, an unusual amount of interest was manifested. The field contained a very heavy crop of old-land grass, with whichwasplentifullysprinkledovertliat toughand wiry material, the dread of themower commonly designated bull's snout." Hero and there misht be semi old drains not properly filled up large stones in many places were forcing themselves through the surface, and one portion of the field especially was as uneven as it possibly could be. The machine, which is very compact, and drawn by two horses, did its work admirably.

The grass was cut so close and even, and laid so beautifully, that it left nothing to be desired. The cutter forced its way into uneven places, where no scythe could penetrate passed over large stones without injury, and cut down the "bull's snouts" without hesitation. The work was performed at the rate of nearly an acre an hour, with only two men, without any visible exertion on the part of the horses, and cutting, one, two and in some cases as much as three inches lower than by the ordinary method.

At a meeting of those interested, held on Friday in Leeds, it was shown that Mr Appleby owes 485 16s. to tradesmen on account of the dog show, and 000 10s. for prizes then awarded. His whole debts are 4,912 lis 3d.

and hfs estate at the utmost will realize 2,905. It was agreed at the meeting to wind up under an assignment. The late Explosion in Birmingham. The coroner's inquiry on the explosion of the Birmingham percussion cap manufactory, by which nine persons were killed, terminated on Wednesday. The accident took place a month since.

The verdict was equivalent to one of accidental death; but the jury expressed an opinion that there had been great carelessness displayed in conducting this particular manufactory, and they urged that such places should be under a rigid government inspection, he CORONERS' INQUESTS The Recent Brutal Assault at Byker. Susan Ward, the woman who, as our readers will recollect was moBt brutally assaulted near Byker Hill about three weeks ago, died on Thursday night, at the Infirmary, from the effects of the injuries she received. As yet, the ruffianly assailant has succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the police. The inquest (which had been once adjourned) was concluded on Saturday evening, by Mr Coroner Hoyle, at Mr Strickland's public-house, Westgate Street. The Coroner stated that he had visited the place where the assault was jC to kave been committed and he explained that the deceased appeared to have fallen to the place where she was found, from the road above, a depth of about nine feet.

Inspector Potts, of the Ouseburn lUvision, also gave a minute description of the locali- li lu were two hags standing Wright at the place where the fall seemed to have taKen place, and he thought the woman might have ui uav leg irom coming contact with one of these; while some of the injuries on the face might have been caused by her afterwards pitching forward on some other stones in front. Mr 1 otts added, that he had used every endeavour to find the bonnet and shawl said to have been worn by deceased, but had found no trace of them. He had also made eveiy inquiry as to a person answering the description of the alleged assailant. The Chief Constable had also communicated with all the adjoining towns ana counties, but no information respecting such a per-son had been received. Dr.

Bolton, house surgeon at sal(J "0 thought the fracture of the leg 8 tiiedeceased falling and coming wound in the leg, and the fracture was comminuted. With regard to the face, he thought the injuries there must have been produced by blows of the fist. There "eem imocKea out, the hps were lacerated, and there were marks of contusions on the head shoulders, and back. The deceased was conscious till within a few hours of her death. She varied somewhat in her statements, but always alleged that a man had ill-used her.

She had a bad constitution, and began to break up from the first. It was a case of fracture, which would, with an ordinary constitution, have done well but, as it was, pyoemia set very soon. Some other witnesses were called, but no material evidence was elicited. The jury then consulted together for a few minutes; when the oreman said they were unanimously of opinion that deceased had come by her death from the injuries she had received, but that there was no evidence to show rightly by what means she was put in the position which she was found. The Coroner recorded the verdict as follows That a certairf person or persons unknown did kill or slay the deceased Susannah Ward." Sudden Death.

The Coroner then proceeded to hold an inquest on the body of Mr Septimus Bell, land surveyor, who died suddenly on Friday afternoon. The principal witnesscalled was Elizabeth Brown, residing Byron Street, Scotswood Road who stated that deceased came to her house at an early hour on Thursday morning, and complained of being very ill. He went to bed, and for an hour or two appeared to do well enough, but as the morning advanced he was seized with violent vomiting. Witness went to a chemist and got a bottle and some powders, a portion of which the deceased took in the course of the day, but without effect. The vomiting continued, put witness did not think there was anything serious in the case till about one o'clock in the afternoon, when she thought he looked worse.

She then, without his knowledge, sent for Mr I'Anson, surgeon, lhat gentleman did not come at once, but a bottle and pill were instantly sent, with orders to apply a mustard plaster over the stomach. Witness administered the pill, but within two minutes after she did so Mr Bell breathed his last. He did not seem to think he was dying, and about half a minute before he expired he said he be betterjay and by, and would go down street in the evening. The bottle and one of the powders obtained from the chemist were produced by Sergeant Nolan. The other bottle had not been touched.

Mr Eayne stated that the phial which had been used contained an effervescing mixture, and the powder was a tartaric acid powder. He had known deceased for several years, and knew his habits well. He saw the body on Friday evening, and examined it externally and from the evidence given by Elizabeth Brown he had come to the conclusion that Mr Bell died from nervous exhaustion, owing to incessant vomiting brought on by intemperate habits. He had no doubt of this from the appearance Mr Bell had when he saw him last olive, on Wednesday he then seemed much shaken, and was much altered from what he was a few weeks previously. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with Mr Eayne's evidence.

Fatal Accident. On Friday last, an inquest was held on the body of Bobert Boxborough, a labourer in the employment of Mr Boss, of Spittal Hall, near Berwick-on-Tweed. It appeared from the evidence that deceased slipped and fell among the horse's feet while carting manure, and was struck so heavily behind the ear by the projecting portion of one of the horse shoes, that lie died in the course of a few minutes. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.

On Tuesday ono of the three boilers used for driving the pumping and winding engines at the colliery of Newton-on-the-Moor, exploded. The larger portion of it, upwards of three tons, flew the distance of 200 yards, and fell quite flat on the turnpike. A man named Richardson was scalded to death, and another named Ramsay is badly hurt. The boiler had patent safety whistles and floats, and the one next to it, which was not at work and empty, was collapsed and rendered useless by the accident. The broken pipes, bricks, stones, kc, are strewed in all directions, and the engine-house top i3 carried awayand other serious damage is done to the colliery, The pitmen and lads were placed in great jeopardy by the explosion, but they were fortunately all got to bank by means of a jack rope, through the coolness and courage of the banksman.

The colliery, which is situated on the Great North Road, three miles north of Felton, and six south of AmwicK, is tne property ot S. ly. Widdrington, and is leased by Mr R. G. Reed, who was for many years connected with Segliill Collieries as viewer.

Much sympathy is felt for Mr Reed, in the calamity that has befallen him, as he has, since his lease of the mine, had many difficulties to contend with in its working. The poor fellow who has lost his life has left a widow and family. jVs regards the other injured sufferer, there is hope of his recovery. The inquest on tbe body of the deceased has been opened, undgdjourned to admit of the attendance of sue vaovernmont inspector ot Mines. THE GLASGOW MURDER.

Oar readers have already been put in possession of the particulars of a remarkable murder which was committed at Glasgow. A gentleman, named Fleming, went out of town witli his family on Friday week, leaving bis aged father and a servant, named Jessie to take care of his house. Early on Saturday morning, Mr Fleming, according to his own statement, heard screams proceeding from the direction of the servant's room, but ho took no notice of the matter, and raised no alarm when he found that M'Pherson did not make her appearance as usual on Saturday. Indeed, he mentioned the circumstance of her singular absence to no one until Monday, when his son returned to. town.

It was then discovered that the poor woman had been barbarously butchered in her room, and that several articles of plate and wearing apparel hud been stolen. It has now transpired that the stolen plate was pledged at the shop of a Glasgow pawnbroker, on Saturday, by juuiig woiimn, lutiierto Known as Mary jJonnld, but whose real name is Mrs M'Lachlan. When ap prehended, she acknowledged that she pledged, on the Saturday, some silver plate which, she says, she got irom the out man Fleming on Friday night. She formerly was a servant in Fleming's house. Fleming has also been placed in confinement.

Tbe Glasgow papers report further discoveries which' seriously implicate the prisoner M'Lachlan. It appears she has been dealing with some clothes, which are strongly suspected to be those of the murdered woman. It will be remembered that clothes and plate were missine from Mr FlmnWs inn. plate lias been recovered, and the police are apparently on the right scent for the recovery of the remaining tilings. The Missing High-Sheriff.

Nofcivittsf, that every search has been made, not the slightest trace of Mr Winstanley can be discovered. It is rumoured that the cause ot Mr Wmstanley's mysterious disappearance is owing to his wishing to be out of the way during the forthcoming assizes. He is a gentlemen of very reserved habits, and it was with great reluctance he accepted the office. The above report is hardly probable, as ho has served in the office on ono occasion, and he could not have had sufficient money about him to be absent very long for on his carpet-bag being searched at the Cliff Hotel, Folkestone, it was found to contain his travelling money, G0. Mr Winstanley possesses very extensive estates.

Renshaw was heard. This was an application by summons on behalf of the defendant, iti reference to some proceedings in the Salford County Court, for a writ of prohibition to restrain the plaintiff and the judge from further proceedings upon tho judgment given in favour of tho plaintiff, on the ground that the Judge had no jurisdiction over the plaintiff's claim.

The plaintiff was a member of Court British Fleet, No. 122, of the Ancient Order of Foresters Friendly Society and he claimed from the defendant, as tho secretary to the society, a sum of 3 for sick money. This claim had been referred to a committee, according to the rules of the society, and had been rejected; the plaintiff, George Wilkinson, then brought an action. against the defendant for tho tt; lordship decided that the county court judge had no jurisdiction over the claim, and that the Friendly Societies Acts clearly intended the rales should be binding. Ho then ordered that the writ of prohibition, with restitution of the money paid into court, should issue.

Acclimatisation. At the anniversary dinner of the Acclimatisation Society, on Saturday evening, the Chairman (Lord Stanley), in giving the toast of the evening, said the society had already imported from the United States the prairie, grouse, a new variety of turkey fromSHonduras, the cillimott from Norway, the guan and curassow from other countries. Of fish they had introduced the Murray cod, said to bo something between a pike and a perch, and bettor than either- (a laugh) the Chinese sheep, which were very excellent eating and excellent breeders. The Marquis of Breadalbane had introduced the bison, and had now a large herd of them, and Lord Hill had been very successful with the eland. Of vegetables they had introduced the Chinese yam, which took so kindly to English earth that it was.

said to be exceedingly difficult to get the roots out of it, and that the operation was more like that of extracting teeth than drawing turnips. The Ilanthus, which was found to be excellent food for silk-worms, had also been introduced, and had grown well in St. James's Square, and thousands of silkworms were now growing upon the tree.

LITERARY NOTICES. The Art Journal. TIub month's number presents engravings of Sant's picture, The Duett," representing two sweet-looking girls singing a piece of music which they hold in their hands; and of Turner's picture Dutch Boats in a Gale," the latter being in the collection of the Earl of EUestnere. Among the literary contents, we notice an article on "Block Printing, Ancient and Modem;" in which reference is made as follows to our townsman, Thomas Bewick: "A man whose genius was destined to revive, the fallen art of wood engraving, and point the way to that success which has steadily attended the efforts of its professors ever since, who have wedded Art to the press' indissolubly throughout the world. Bewick's great success was based on tbe study of nature, and the power he possessed of expressing with his graving tool what no draughtsman could have helped him to do.

He could thus cut out of the wood small figures of animals and birds, which oidy a naturalist can fully appreciate. On the dark side of a stone he would cut grasses and leaves so that a botanist should name them. His birds and quadrupeds have never been equalled, and the whim of some of his tail pieces is worthy of the best humorous artists. More modern wood-engravers have exceeded Mm in beauty of execution and elaboration of workmanship, but none have equalled Bewick in tliis power of cutting out of a block such expressive drawing," Turning to the illustrated Catalogue of the International Exhibition, we observe among the illustrations an engraved representation of a very giaceful salt cellar from the establish menfc of our townsmen, Messrs Reid Sous, of Grey Street. The Museum A Quarterly Magazine of Education, Literature, and Science.

No. VI. July, 1862. Edinburgh James Gordon, 51, Hanover Street. The opening article is by Dr.

Morrell, on The Education Discussion in England." It is an exceedingly well-informed and able paper; and we extract the following from the writer's remarks on the much mooted question as to what ought to be the character and detailed procedure of school inspection Inspection, to be of much real account, must largely depend upon the experience of the inspector, and tbe intuitive power he acquires, from day to day, to see into the moral and intellectual results of a schoolmaster's whole spirit and system of teaching. It is very easy for theorists to sneer at these things as indefinite generalities, and scout all results which cannot be measured by the multiplication table, as empty and useless. Every educator who is woiMtlie name, knows that his best results are those which cannot bo measured at all and that tho moral and intellectual tone of a school has a far greater bearing upon the future fate of tbe children than all tho power we may give them, or fail to givo them, in reading, writing and ligures. AVhetuer it may or may not bo the best policy, in a national system of education, to pay fc results simply hi these three particular points i. e.t to ignore all intellectual, and moral training as an element of pecuniary desert, and leave all beyond those three mechanical processes to the spontaneous development of the people's voluntary activity this, I say, is a question which I do not pretend to decide.

No doubt, the more that can done by spontaneous agency the better; and the more government aid can be dispensed with, the healthier, probably, will bo the result. But wluchever way this particular point bo decided, wo can not but affirm, and that strenuously, that the more the function of inspection assimilates itself to the free efforts of men who take a personal interest in tho work, who bear the character of friend and adviser, and who have the intellectual and moral training of the children at heart, the more life, spirit, encouragement and progress it will breathe into the whole atmosphere of the primary school while the more it confines itself to more criticism and the mechanical fomndnrizing of details, the more powerless it will become for every good and useful purpose.

nazette. At a meeting of the Leeds Town Council last week it was stated that the Vicerory of Egypt had been invited by the Mayor to visit Leeds. His Highness courteously acknowledged the invitation, but was compelled to decline it on account of other demands upon his limited time in England. The Council of the Royal Geographical Society, desiring to testify theii- obligation to the Viceroy of "gypt for his flighness's protection and encouragement of British travellers, have elected him an hon-ary member of their body the diploma being transmitted by the president, Sir Roderick Murchison, for presentation by the Hon. Charles Murray.

The Viceroy is thus associated, among geographers, with the King of Sweden and Norway, and the Grand Duke uonstantine, the President ot the Imperial Geograph-cal Society of St. Petersburg. Banquet to his Highness the Viceroy op Egypt. On Monday evening, the members of the United Service Club gave a splendid banquet to his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt at the Club House, in Pall Mall. The entertainment was served up in a style of princely elegance in the spacious and elegant breakfast room of the club.

His Highness the Viceroy accompanied by his nephew, his Highness Mus-tapha Pasha, his Excellency Zulkifar Pasha (Minister for Foreign Affairs), and attended by the Hon. Chas. A. Murray, appointed by the Queen to attend on his Highness during his sojourn in this country, arrived shortly before eight o'clock in one of Her Majesty's carriages. The Viceroy and suite were received in the vestibule by the members of the dinner committee, by whom his Highness was conducted to the library, where the majority of the members engaged to dine at the banquet was congregated.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Col. Tyrwhitt, arrived soon after eight o'clock, and after mutual compliments with the Viceroy in the library, dinner was announced. The banquetting room presented a very handsome aspect. The tables were profusely adorned with some elaborate specimens of ornamental plate, and in the intervening spaces were vases containing choice flowers and fruit. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., the General Commanding-in-Chief, presided on the occasion.

The King of Wurtesiberg. Among the many sovereigns who have taken a lively interest in the International Exhibition, none is more anxious for its success than the venerable King of Wurtemburg, now bordering on his 81st year. He has always regarded the Exhibition as a mighty step for the advancement of art, science, and civilization, and his government have afforded every possible encouragement to the manufacturers of the kingdom to make a good exhibition of their industries. The result is, that there are in all 144 exhibitors from Wurtemburg, and that of these the half have received medals, and one-fourth more had honourable mention made of them. So gratified was the King on learning the distinguished position achieved by the manufacturers of his kingdom, that when Her Majesty's Commissioners requested that some special international representative be sent for the ceremony of awarding the prizes on Friday last, he sent his own son-in-law, his Highness Prince Hermann of Saxe-Weimar Eisenach, to assist at the ceremony, in addition to Dr.

von Steinbeis, the President of the Board of Trade and Industry, the acting Commissioner. A relative of Mr Ewart, M.P., says the Bristol Merenry, has been presented to the vicarage of Bishop's Cannings, rendered vacant by the death of the Venerable Archdeacon Macdonald.

The Lord Mayor has received from Bombay the munificent sum of 5,000, which has been subscribed, under the auspices of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, for the relief of the operatives who are suffering from tbe consequences of the cotton famine." Many of our native fellow-subjects, who have no doubt a lively recollection of the eagerness with whicli the people of this country came forward two years ago to assist in mitigating tbe horrors of the Indian famine, have assisted in this work of charity, and it is stated that another remittance may be expected by the next mail. Garotte Robbery in Leeds. jt the Town Hall, on Monday, a young man, named Thomas Clancy, spinner, Warrington, was chargedwith garot-ting and robbing John M'Cullock, a hawker, belonging to Newcastle-on-Tyne. On Sunday night, the prosecutor met the prisoner and two other men in a public house in York Street, and afterwards accompanied them to a lodging-house. He there produced his purse, containing 1 in silver, and handed to a boy, whom he had been induced to employ, sixpence.

Afterwards he went along the York Road with the prisoner and the other two men, and under the pretence that they were going for drink, was importuned into a field, where he was seized by the neck, thrown on the ground, and robbed of his money. The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial at the assizes. LcaU Mercury. Stephenson Memorial Window for Westminster Abbey. Messrs.

Wailes, of Newcastle, have just completed a fine stained glass window, to be erected in Westminster Abbey, to perpetuate the memory of the Stephensous. In the body of the window, some of the greatest architectural and engineering works of ancient and modern times are represented and above these, at the top of the window, in five-foil, bust portraits of eminent engineers are appropriately arranged. The figure of Robert Stephenson is placed in the centre above, his father, George Stephenson on one side, Thomas Telford on the other, John Sniea-ton and below these, James Watt and John Ronnie. To give to tho modern costume that more imposing and dignified appearance which belongs to tho robes of the ancients, a scarf is thrown over the shoulders of each individual and though strict fidelity was not aimed at in the portraits, the artist has succeeded in producing striking likenesses while tho richness and variety of the colours give to the whole group a most resplendent appearance. The architectural works represented are bordered with ornamental tracery on each side.

They consist of, on the one-half of the window, the jVrk, the erecting of tho Tabernacle, the first Temple, the second Temple, and Benha Bridge and on the other half, the building of Nineveh, the Treasure Cities of Egypt, Aqueduct near Pyrgo, the Colosseum at Rome, and the High Level Bridge at Newcastle. These, where great variety of colour can be admitted, are of a very gorgeous description and the whole window, "when fixed within the walls of Westminster Abbey, will command general admiration. Suspicious Dealings of Foreign Operators. The Glasiiow Mornimj Journal says that during the last fortnight the Guardian Society of that city "have been actively engagedin investigating the transactions of a person calling himself Solomon Wellheim, a German Jew, who has been engaged in the purchase of sewing machines, leather, and other goods, in that city, buspicious having begun to arise as to bis position, and, learning that tliQ eyes of the Guardian Society were upon him, he suddenly disappeared from the city at the end of last month. jVf ter much enquiry and searching on the part of the officials connected with the society, a length certain large boxes, cases, were traced to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Station, with the address in the waybill, S.

Wellheim," but afterwards altered to D. Green, Newcastle on Tyne, to lie till called for," and marked D.G., and numbered 4, 5, 0, and 7. These goods were forwarded to Newcastle on Tyne, on the 24th when a creditor to a large extent, who is a member of the Guardian Society, was recommended to follow the goods to Newcastle, and instructed to wait on Mr Strachan. the seointnrv nf Trade Protection Society there, who appears to have acted promptly in the matter. This gentleman, learning how matters stood, immediately advised tho Guardian Society here, that, on Friday, tbe 4th the goods bad been taken by a 2rivate cart from the railway station at Newcastle to the London Steamboat Wharf, and that on Saturday a person went to London with them.

The railway receipt was signed D. Green, as addressed and other two, calling themselves Morris and Wilson, were with Wellheim, Wilson having had some goods in a similar manner the next day. The goods have been traced, and it is under consideration whether to adopt other proceedings against the parties than in the Bankruptcy Court. The Annual Report on Education by the Committee of the Privy Council is issued. In tlm nrairsn of the year the number of schools, or departments of schools, under separate teachers, which were inspected, increased by 497, the number of children by 05,758, of pupil teachers by 742, of certificated teachers by 987 of students in training for teachers, 43; new school accommodation was created for 47,103 children.

The CO inspectors visited 10,900 daily schools, or departments of schools, and found present in them, 1,028,090 children (five boys to four girls), 8,000 certificated teachers, and 15498 apprentices. The inspectors also visited 39 training colleges for teachers, occupied by 2,859 students, and examined these and 2782 candidates besides visiting 442 schools for pauper children, containing about 30,000 inmates, and 58 ragged or industrial schools, containing 4411 inmates. The Privy Council Committee notice that while making a certificated teacher a condition of annual grants, they have provided for the granting of certificates to roiuiser and humbler classes of candi dates for service in small schools, and that they are now engaged in revising the subjects wherein teachers are required to be examined. Teachers' certificates are not the monopoly of a class they are not confined former pupil teachers or to students from normal schools, but any teachers whatever, who have obtained two favourable reports by the inspector upon their schools, may be presented by their employers as candidates. The committee express their hope that tho encouragement they have given to the instruction of infants, as a foundation, and to the instruction of evening scholars, as a continuance of the elementary day school a road has been marked out the solid and suitable education of the classes who support themselves in independence by manual labour.

This indeed, is not the whole of the work to done; but the education of the mimm. l. hand, and of the emigrant or SimW Tku, other, are nowrightly dealt wMibyTgisla las separate parts of the question and with hv supplement, the missionary action of Sunday schools and ragged schools, the committee feel justified in ex-pressmg a confident hope that no part of the great field of education for the poor remains unknown or nncaredfor, and that in the midst of many dif acuities and more differences progress is being everywhere made. an of a in of fear the Vow Beady, 18mo, Coloured "Wrapper, Post Free 4d, 0" GOUT AND KHETJMATISM.

Nearly the whole works, which cover about two acres of ground, were totally destmvp1. Montgomery Election. The high Sheriff declared the state of the poll for a representative for this county on Monday, in front of the Town Hull, at Montgomery. The numbers were declared as follows Wynn (Conservative), Tracy (Liberal), 959 majority for Wynn, 310.

After the polling on Saturday the town of Llanidloes was in a great state of excitement, and the houses of two of Mr Wynn's supporters were partially demolished by a mob of navvies and miners. The riot act was read, and a division of the Shropshire police was sent for. The contest was a very severe one. Serious Stabbing Case at Malton. On Saturday, the Malton magistrates were engaged in the investigation of a serious case of cutting and wounding, preferred by Matthew Preston, of Old Malton, against George Barker, of the same place.

The men, with several others, were drinking at the at Ox public-house, in Malton, on the night of the 5th ot July and a quarrel arose between Barker (the prisoner) and Preston. The men turned ought to fight, but Barker refused to proceed, and he left tho company, the other men remaining until 11 o'clock, when they set off home. A few yards from the house Barker was found in a passage, and Preston seized lum and pulled him out, when he in turn seized Preston round the neck or by tie hah, and a scuffle of a desperate nature ensued. A companion, with difficulty, pulled the men apart, and discovered that Preston to co-vered with blood; but Preston was not aware that he was stabbed until he got to another public-house and was washed. A surgeon was sent for, and dressed the wounds.

Two of Preston's companions corroborated his evidence, and Mr Charles Hartley, surgeon, stated that a wound two inches in length on the head, and two others on the neck, seemed to have been produced with a sharp instrument, being incised wounds, with smooth edges. The prisoner was committed to take trial at the ensuing York Assizes. Edwin John James, was appointed one of her Majesty Counsel learned in law, and removed and discharged him from the said office.

The British Chess Association. This association wound up their meeting for the season by a banquet on Thursday, July 10, at Willis's Booms, King Street, London.

Lord Lyttleton, as president of tbe association, took the chair, faced by Lord Cremorne, and supported by a number of well-known chess men, including the following: Lord Ravensworth, Sir John Blunden, the Chevalier de St. Bon, Messrs. Mongredien, Hampton, Medley, Andersson, Steinitz, Klmg, Newham, Macdonald, George Walker, Deacon. Prinsep, Greenaway, Lowenthal, Forbes, Escombe, kc, Many interesting remarks and speeches were made apropos of chess and Lord Kavensworth, in speaking to the toast of the "Foreign Players" present, after gracefully alluding to Anderssen as the acknowledged first player now in Europe, closed with a pathetic and eloquent peroration upon the chief player in the world, Paul Morphy, exposed to the horrors of civil war, doing his devoir in the Southern ranks of the hostile American parties. A Modern Jack Sheppard.

The exploits of Jack Sheppard have been rivalled by a young man named David Malone, who was convicted at the Wexford Quarter Sessions for burglary, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. After being sentenced, he was removed to a strongly-enclosed dock in the court, communicating with which is a water-closet, lighted by a small window that looks out at the side of the court-house. This window is about nine feet from the ground, and secured on the inside by large iron bars extending from the top to the bottom. Malone several times retired to the closet, but about five o'clock he remained longer than usual, and on the turnkey goinginthe bird was flown. During his previous visits he had contrived to climb up to the window, remove an iron bar, and take out a small pane of perforated zinc, in order to pass himself through the small opening, and escape.

The opening through which be forced himself was little more than twelve inches square, and on gaining the exterior of the court-house he hod to pass through crowds of officials and police. He has not yet been re-captured, though hotly pursued within fifteen minutes after his escape. Interesting Discoveries at Shakspe are's House in London. Unexpected discoveries of a very interesting character have been made in excavating the site of Shakspeare's New Place. Not only have the entire foundations of the house, as altered by Sir HughClopton early in the last century, come to light, but portions of the basement of Shakspeare's own residence towards the east and south have been discovered, the latter intersecting the more recent design.

It seems that Shakspeare's house extended a few feet into the present Chapel Lane, at the corner opposite the Guild Chapel, its frontage in Chapel Street being about fifty-four feet, taking in a small part of what was lately Dr. Eice's residence. When Sir Hugh Clopton rebuilt New Place, he diminished it a little on the north side, the adjoining house thus gaining a small space, in the inside of which, as was discovered by Mr E. Gibbs, still remain distinct traces of the gable end of the old New Place. We can thus attain a pretty tolerable idea of the dimensions and form, of the poet's last residence.

More interesting still, in the opinion of many, will be Shakspeare's original well, which has been discovered with its ancient stone quoining, at the back of the site of the house. Death op Mr. Jasies Bowjian Lindsay, op Dundee. The Dundee papers announce the death of this gentleman, who is known as the orginator of a scheme for telegraphing across rivers and seas without wires or cables. Mr Lindsay," saysthe Courier, was perhaps the most remarkable man that ever lived in Dundee.

His extensive learning enabled him to conduct private classes in all the languages, and in mathematical science. He was a free contributor to the local journals on scientific subjects, and published several learned works. Among these was the Lord's Prayer and Creed in fifty different languages. His house had acquired a celebrity as one of the curiosities of the town. Lord Derby's Government recommended him to Her Majesty, and he obtained a pension of 100 yearly.

This relieved him from the necessity of labour." The Advertiser says He had discovered as early, if not earlier, than Morse or Wheatstone, the principles of the present system of electric telegraphy. Immediately after the public adoption of the system of land telegraphy, Mr Lindsay directed his attention to the sending of messages across water by means of insulated wives and succeeded after several trials on ponds and sheets of water in the neighbourhood in establishing on a sure basis the principles of electric communication by insulated submerged wires. Nor did he stop here his searching experiments inspired him with the hope that one day he would be able to transmit messages across rivers and seas without even ine am oi wires. Air i.mdsay so far perfected his invention as to transmit currents without the aid of wires across several small pieces of water the last occasion on which he publicly experimented with this invention being in Portsmouth, about two years ago, when he was highly successful, and the results afforded great satisfaction to the scientific men who assisted." The Cawnpohe Monument. On Wednesday, the 9th inst.

a very interesting, but melancholy addition melancholy both for its own terrible associations and from the fact of its having been sent by Lord Cannin" a few days before his death was placed in the Englfsh architectural gallery of the Great Exhibition. This is a beautifully executed model of the monument which is being erected by the Government of India over the fatal well at, Cawnpore. The monu ment is designed by-Colonel Yule, of the Bengal Engineers, and is being executed under the superintendence of Mr C. B. Thorn-hill, of the Bengal Civil Service.

The original is in Chunar sandstone, and the gate giving entrance to the well within is of gun metaL The late Lord Canning gave a piece of sculpture to be placed over the well, whicli is still in tbe hands of Baron Marochetti. When all is finished, the entire monument will be surrounded by an ornamented garden watered from the Ganges Canal. The present model is beautifully finished jVgra soap stone. It was made by native stone-cutters at Allahabad, and on the scale of lialf-an-inch to the foot. Over the door giving entrance to the well is the simple and touching inscription, These be they which came out of great tribulation," while round the run of the well itself (which, of course, is closed and builtover)iscarvedthofollowinginscription: "Sacred to the perpetual memory of a great company of Christian people, chiefly women and children, who near this spot were cruelly massacred by the followers of leuei nana xiiioonuopunt or uitlioor, and cast, the dying with the dead, into the well below, on the loth day of July, 1857." This most interesting model has had many visitors, among others, His Boyal Highness Prince Alfred and the Princess Mary of Cambridge What is Iron This is a question (says the Tims, an article on the Exhibition) which few persons would hesitate to answer yet it is one which few could answer properly.

The most familiar things are often the least understood, and, of these, iron is certainly one. Pure iron is almost unknown, and, probably, not half-a-dozen men now living have ever seen it. What we call iron is the metal combined or associated with other elements, which, though present only small quantity, may, according to their mimnnv find iirnnnvf.inn ouwummuine co rc widely different properties. These elements are chiefly carbon, silicon, sulphur, and phosphorus; but the most important is carbon. It is a simple variation in the proportion of carbon within the limit of about 5 per cent which causes the metal to appeal- in the three well-known states of wrought iron, steel and east mm.

As the proportion of earbon increases the metal passes insensibly through Wipsp V7 stages. We should, recently been urged that another elen? Ini, XoXn essentnd constituent of steel- lf i.Ti,! i been hotly disputed last year InVe Clinch Smv We have maturely we Hied tho oI i auemy. nitrogen is not essential tn il tnac Zf Cau-e of rcd Alness, and phosphorus JZltti 'wrtnm wrought iron. Now, when we llfit i i.ne part in a thousand of any one of tiiese elements will produce a decided effect on the quality of the iron, either separately or combined when we further reflect that the proportion in which each may be present is subject to considerable variation, we may readily conceive how great must be the diversity hi the quality of the iron, steel and pig iron wliich we meet with in commerce. Then, again, in the case of wrought Iron and steel, the quality of the metal may be greatly modified by the mechanical treatment which it has received; and, the case of pig iron, by the conditions under which solidification after fusion has occurred.

It is a remarkable fact that, so far as our knowledge extends, iron is the only metal winch is capable of acquiiing such varied and 'useful properties by the operation of such simple and apparently trivial causes as those whicli we have just considered. One metal is made to act the part of several. The defective states our knowledge of the chemistry of iron is the opprobrium of modern chemists. Athousand pr-V -r-of the highest interest, relating to this metal, await investigation and we affirm, without of contradiction, that there is no 'metal of which science, properly so called, is less understood.
