He was V Roing about quietly, but on seeing witness he ran off. Witness followed, but defendant hid in a thicket, and he I" tagBed him. Remained under the hedge, and in about two minutes he came out and was running under the d hedge through the thistles. Stooped down till defen- ■i tcame up, and he then collared defendant, who for a htne refused to give his name. He did give it at length, f and he then released him. He went back into the wood, d then heard a rabbit, which had been caught in a *ire, crying. On searching the hedge found eight other *ires (produced). They were all dry as if recently set. "^Defendant denied ever having been in the wood, and I could not say he was. Complainant did [ dollar him outside, but he told Mr. Winter then, as be told him before, that he was not the man he saw inside. ^"Complainant swore to his being the man he followed yards in the wood. He knew the man before, he was in no way mistaken as to his identity.— ^e8ekiah Mitchell and James Savery were then Barged with night poaching on the land of Mr. Thos. yffttrex, on the 27th instant.—Mr. Gratrex intimated 18 desire to withdraw from the case, as it might 4PPear that he was interested. The objection was Oterruled by his colleagues, who observed that they hOllld not see how he could be interested, inasmuch as e bad given Mr. Powell the right to preserve the game, *t>d did not do so himself. Mr. Gratrex then retained JjU seat.—William Davies, a keeper in the employ of Ihomas Powell, Esq., stated that he caught the defen- Savery on the night in question, with a number of babbits in his possession, and a bag.

Ten others were in the hedge, and in three Which were rabbits.—Thomas King, the head keeper ?ader Mr, Powell, stated that whilst they were watching "7 Some wires on the ground stated by the last witness, the defendant came to the wires. Davies and he both 5 £ ratlg at the same man, and consequently they lost T^tchel!, whom they subsequently apprehended outside 9 o»n house. Saw Mitchell drop the wires about 20 from where they first saw him.—Defendant had no ^estions to ask, and had nothing to say.—In answer i° the Bench Kirby said nothing was known against the Pendants within a reasonable period, although he be- ta", to state something about a case 1D years ago, in "'hich one of the defendants was implicated.-The Chair an said In regard to the past charge, no doubt that defendant Savery was guilty. He would be fined IgNnd costs, or one month's imprisonment, with hard 11 ()Il,. In regard to the second case, it appeared to the IV el] hthat defendants were confirmed poachers, and t>e sentenced to imprisonment for three months, j Jj the expiration of the sentence they would have to nd two sureties of £ 5, and themselves in £ 10, aa a jWarantee that they would not offend again for twelve ^°nths. ST. WOOLLOS.—John French was charged with night inching on land in the occupation of Mr. Whitehouse, Jhe Gaer. Mr. R. J. Cathcart appeared for the defen- >ant.—Edward R' twland, gamekeeper in the employ of ^°*d Tredegar, said: On the 7th of October, about ten o clock at night, he, in company with two other men, ere out watching. Saw a dog belonging t) defendant bating about. A quarter of an hour afterwards saw three man coming alongside the Park wall. One of them Vent direct to the bole in the wall, which was between the park and Mr. Whitehouse's land. The man was about to set a net, and witness rushed at him, passing 10rencb to the left. The man at the hole (Mogford by name), had been convicted. French and the other man, to whom he could not swear, ran away. It was bright Moonlight. There was a quantity of game at the spot. By Mr. Cathcart: That was this dav three weeks, -hen you and I were here before, and French was con- noted for trespassing—another offence than this. The a°g that I saw was about six yards from me. I did not 'Peak to the dog—not likely. 1 saw the dog along enough time to know it was French's. It was beating the field. I did not stop it.—Mr. Gratrex: It was not ^8 dog.—Mr. Cathcart: He was protecting the game.— fjr. Davis He happened to be looking after the game, aughter.) — Cross-examination resumed The next was that I saw three men going by the wall, ^.hen I passed French I was near enough to lay hold of k? but 1 knew him and went past him to catch the n at the hole, whom I did not know. I have already that I was in motion when I passed French, and ( my object was to lay hold of Mogford. I am quite »t was Fiench. I knew where French lived, and Bench know the reason why he was not apprehended j ''1 yesterday week—nearly a fortnight after. Lord g.tedegar ordered us to apprehend him on the Tuesday *J;er-—By Mr. Davis My instructions were to have to Rford tried first. I told Lord Tredeg If French Q*8 One of the men By Mr. Cahiart: The Jiv reason why French was not placed side by side vllh Mogford a fortnight ago was that Lord Tredegar not then ordered him to be apprehended. I decline tell you who the third man was.—John Lilly spoke as v the time at which three men were seen—ten o'clock— j^t could not swear to defendant being one of them.— j?'Cathcart then addressed the Bench for the defendant. 8aid this was not the first time that witnesses had made a mistake as to the identity of an individual. They what they believed to be true, but it had ofun "Cen found out that they were woefully mistaken. He did not say that Rowland had sworn to what he knew to be wrong, but on the contrary, he believed that when he Said he saw John French on the night in question that Rowlnd felt satisfied in bis mind that he was the defendant. He had given his evidence with great zeal Upon the present occasion, and he felt that unless he met the case in a comparatively zealous way he should mt do his duty. He, in the first place, did say that the Witness was altogether mistaken as to the identity of the Pendant, and he did not make that statement upon a ralre fancy, but believed he could prove to the Iknch, 7 the evidence of witnesses which he proposed to ta 1, hat defendant was not there at all, indeed, that he was laot out of his house at the time sperified. In order to make the case clear as to time, lie has been very exact ?8 to questioning the witness. There could, therefore, no mistake as to the day, or time of the day, on the °ay named—17th of October—defendant was here at the Urt» and Rowland was then the very man who pressed he charge against French for trespassing in pursuit of At the time he had a license, bnt the Bench in ^eif wisdom and discretion convicted the defendant, Jhich involved the loss of his license. Now that day, contended, was above all days the most un- jfkoly that defendant would go out poaching, jl^er having been convicted and forfeiting his license, 5'd it appear probable to the Bench that a man would go Aching the same night. He would not put It to them that around merely, but still he asked them to that point their consideration, and give the defen- tnt the benefit of what it was worth, calculated upon we chances of a man putting himself in such a position, th."? U bey°nfl the bounds of Pr°Priety 10 suppose that eeper had not made a mistaken. He contended I u*re J?r! a, cl'ance of his being mistaken. Why was no^ hftv11 brought here with Mogford, when there would ^en an opportunity of his having stated that ana uT Was not on0 of tbe men' He wa8 now 'n Su l' asked7y could not bring him here. Three times he had it. Ty0t the name of the other man, but could not get Opnort thev know his name there would be another One nfaity given them of proving that French was not rllty gj 8h tile men. He mentioned these things in order to the* the Bench that bad the opportunity been given *er could have called both these men in order to j^t'eve prencb from the charge.—Mr. Gratrex: The j?ePer cannot swear to the man, and that is his reason U1" Dot 8'ving you the name. It might be casting an u'Putation upon the roan unjustly.—Mr. Cathcart hoped tl.Ellch were not sitting as prosecutors against his ^lent. 'fbe remarks he made were made with a desire V. 8atisfy them that he WHS deprived of two sources thereby he might prove that French was innocent of charge. His defence was an alibi, and to establish the two men named were most material witnesses hi,!6 £ eeper had sworn to what he believed to be tight, °°twithstanding the disadvantages under which the roeflce laboured, he believed that he should be able to 'h& e ,Unnii8takeably that be was wrong. He had fixed "me in such a way aa to leave no m'8" Vitn °n the point, and after hearing the evidence of <JoubtSf*B which he was about to call, he had no <Ufeil »°n bis mind but that the Bench would acquit the nDt °f l',e c'iar8e» Mr. Cathcart first called °'ei hair-dresser, who knew French perfectly well. ^J>ered the charge brought against him three weeks o'clo-i fench entered his (witness's) shop about seven lhat evening.

The paper was always put aside for him. Remembered him coming on the evening of the 7th of October. Had he not been there the paper would have remained —Edward Palmer, labourer, and a neighbour of French, living at Frost's buildings, Stow-hill, paw French at about nine o'clock on the evening of the 7th of October, at the entrance of the buildings. Witness remained about there smoking his pipe till abont half- past ten and did not again see French after he went into the house at nine o'clock. He must have passed witness if be had left the house. There was no other thoroughfare.—By Mr. Davis I did not see French and if he had come I must have seen him.

The horse was stopped at the public house, and she went ineide. De- fendant, who was there, came out and wanted to give the reins to Mr. Long (complainant's master, whom she was driving, and who was rather the worse for drink). She objected to the reins being given to Mr. Long, and the defendant struck her in the mouth, and tried to "trip" her under the horses feet. She went as far as the Full Moon, and then being afraid to go any further with that horse she sent for one of the men servants to lead the horse home. Defendant again assaulted her. She believed defendant had a grudge against her in con- sequence of a complaint she had made against him.- Cross-examined You drove Mr. Long home from the Full Moon, but you capsized the trap.—J. Clarke, a very reluctant witness,said,aiter some pressure had been brought to boarupon him, that complainant had complained to him of defendant's usage.-Tbe defence was imlJy an unsupported attack upon complainant's character.—The Bench considered the case proved, and fined the defend- rint 15s. including costs, which they said was letting him off easily.

The Mayor said that before entering on the ordinary business of the day, there was one matter to whioh he wished to draw the attention of the Board, and in re- spect to which he was sure he should have the entire sym- pathy of the Council. Within a recent period the coun- try had experienced a severe loss in the death of its Prime Minister, and as the occasion was one in whioh they would undoubtedly join in a unanimous expression of sympathy, he would move, without detaining them by a lengthened speech, that they record on the minutes their sense of the loss the country had sustained, coupling with that an expression of deep sympathy and respectful condolence with Lady Palmerston. (Ap- plause.) His Worship moved Resolved, that this Board record its sense of the great loss this country has sustained in the death of its Prime Minister, the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, a man who, through the course of a long life devoted to the service of the country, has always maintained the honour of Great Britain, its prosperity, and its institutions; and that a oopy be forwarded of this resolution to Lady Palmerston, with the respectful condolence of the Board, and their deep sympathy in the great loss she has sustained." Alderman Lewis, in appropriate terms, seconded the resolution. He expressed his gratification that at the funeral of Lord Palmerston the Corporation of Newport had been represented. He thought that the Mayor and the gentlemen who were with him, had taken a proper course in attending the obsequies of the departed Pre. mier, and that in paying a compliment to the remains of Lord Palmerston they had refleoted honour on the town of Newport. (Hear, hear.) THE CATTLE PLAGUB. Alderman Homfray stated that in an official report which had been pnbliuhed, it was represented that in this county there had been 60 cases of cattle disease and several deaths. The Town Clerk In Monmouthshire and South Walef. The Chief Superintendent said he had not heard of any case and a member said it was in Glamorganshire the disease had appeared. Alderman Homfray thought that it was in North Wales the disease had been prevalent. THE POLICE FORCE. The Chief Superintendent reported that Sergeant Pyne had tendered his resignation and in accepting it several members intimated that Sergeant Pyne's absence from the force would be a'great loss. He was a most efficient officer. A. DONATION TO THB BOARD. The Chief Superintendent reported that at the last sessions two women, charged with stealing JE36 from the person of a man who gave a fiotitious name, and repre- sented himself to be from Blaina, were acquitted, in consequence of no prosecutor appearing and the Chairman directed that the money should be kept in possession of the police. He now applied for authority to place it in the Bank pending the application of any claimant. The Chief Superintendent was directed to deposit it in the Bank. The appointment of several new policemen was con- firmed by the Board. THE THOMAS-STREET LEVEL CROSSING REPORT OF THB DEPUTATION TO THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY, The following report was read Your Committee, appointed on Friday, the 30th day of October instant, to confer with the directors of the Great Western Railway Company on the subjeet of the diversion of the public highway from the level crossing in Thomas street, on the same day instructed the Town Clerk to write to the Company and suggest an interview. On Tuesday evening last, 24th inst, the Town Clerk re- ceived a telegram from Mr Grierson, the general manager of the Company, proposing a meeting on Thursday, the 26th, at Paddington. This was at once accepted, and the deputa- tion, consisting of the Mayor, Aldermen Davis and Lewis; and Messrs. Evans and Cathcart, accompanied by Mr. Kirby, the town surveyor, proceeded to Paddington, where they bad an interview with a deputation of the Great Western Railway Board, specially appointed to meet them, by whom they were courteously received. It was at once admitted that the level crossing in Thomas-street is highly objectionable, and ought if pos- sible be got rid of but the question arose, if Thomas- street were closed, how should the main road be taken into the town—whether over or under the railway 1-at what part ? -and at whose expense? Your Committee suggested that certain plans had been submitted to the Council, and though none of them had been fully approved, they might be laid before the Great Western Railway Board for their consideration, and the engineers of the Company might approve of any one of them or might suggest a better. That as regards the ex- pense your Committee were of opinion that it should be borne by the Great Western Railway Company. The deputation from the Great Western Railway Com- pany expressed a very strong opinion that both the Mon- mouthshire Railway and Canal Company and the town of Newport should contribute to the expense; but your Committee informed them it was unlikely the town would contribute money, but it was not improbable the Corpo- ration might be induced to narrow the wide part of Pen- tonville and give up to the Company a portion ef the roadway, which would form a most valuable addition to the Company's etation. The Railway deputation inquired whether the Corpora- tion would be willing, at the Company's expense, to apply to Parliament for an Act to carry out any arrangement which might be agreed upon, to which your Committee expressed themselves unable to give a positive answer, but they thought not, and that the Company should make the application. It was finally arranged that the Railway Deputation would recommend the Company to send their engineer to examine and report upon the best plan for carrying out the suggested improvement, and to give notice of their intention to apply in the ensuing session of Parliament for permission to make arrangements with the Monmouth- shire and other Companies, and the Corporation, for car. rying out the projected works, and for compulsory powers to pnrohase any property which might be required. Your Committee, at the request of the Railway Depu- tation, left them the plans of Mr, Kirby, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Warren. EDWARD J. PHILLIPS. HENRY JOHN DAVIS. THOMAS E. LEWIS. BENJAMIN EVANS. R J. CATHOART. Some conversation arose as to the clause in the report referring to the giving up of a portion of Pentonville to the company, Mr. T M. Llewellin suggesting that the Board should not in any way bind themselves, aid the Mayor replied that the deputation had baen very careful not to do so. AN UNSEEMLY SQUABBLE. Alderman Townsend inqllirel why the Mayor had ohjected to Mr. Lawrence having a free pass to London to accompany the deputation appointed to lay the plans before the Great Western Directors? It had been in the power of the Mayor to accord that privilege to Mr. Lawrence. The Mayor said he had felt that if any gentleman had been added to the deputation, it would have given him an importance that he did not think should be given him. As a representative of the Board that was his view. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Lawrence was at perfect liberty to go to Paidington on paying his own expenses but his plans had been moat abiy advocated, and most clearly liid before the Great Western deputation by Mr. Cathcart. He (the Mayor) was perfectly satisfied be had acted correctly in not taking Mr. Lawrence. Alderman Townsend did not impugn the motives of the Mayor but after what certain gentlemen had said re- specting Mr. Lavrence's plan, and Mr. Lawrence's name having been mentioned in conjunction with the deputa- tion, he thought in courtesy Mr. Laurence should have been invited. After the favour with which his plans had been received, very likely his presence would havp been regarded with a degree of satisfaction by the Company. Of course the Town Clerk would not take the responsi- bility of inviting him, but he (the Alderman) had intimated to the Mayor that it would be a gracious act to do so. Alderman Davis said he believed he wis the firat to speak on this subject and if blame was attached to auy one, he was prepared to take as large a share as anybody. He certainly had objected to the presence of 1\1r. Lawrence, who had no more right to.go than Mr. Warren. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Lawrence's p'lans had been most freely discussed, and had ben viewed by the Chairman and the Board most favourably. Aide rman Townsend: You generally advance merit. Alderman Lewis: I was an advocntj for Mr. Law- rence going but on reflection I thought the Mayor was right. Alderman Townsend said it appeared the Board were determined to put down enterprise of every kind. Mr. Brown repudiated so round-hand and grave a charge. Alderman Townsend reiterated the allegation, and said it applied more particularly to Mr. Brown; upon which Mr. Brown rose, apparently in a state of great agita- tion, and said it had been a matter of great regret to him that during the present Mayor's year of office, now nearly coming to a close, His Worship should have been so negligent in respect to a most important part of his duties, namely, as the custodian and leader of the honour of the Board, and of the proper conduct of its business. Leave and license bad been given by His Worship of personal abuse and offensive remarks at the hand of Alderman Townsend that be bad not seen allowed in any yer of the sixteen years be had been a member of the Board. And he would ask any gentleman present if he could point out any single practical measure that had ever emanated from Mr. Alderman Townsend at that Board since the Alderman had been a member of the Board—if Alderman Townsend had ever aided or as- sisted in 'he carrying out of one practical measure ? He (Mr. Brown) fearlessly challenged any gentleman, and he declared that nothing of the kind had ever emanated from Alderman Townsend, and he firmly believed nothing of the kind ever would. The Alderman talked of nailing his colours to the mast—that was a favourite expression of his,-but where was the Alder- man found when a fight commenced ? Behind a slick or stone, or gun carriage (Laughter.) After a satirical allusion to Alderman Townsend's much-vaunted broad- sides, Mr. Brown said whoever might be the Mayor's successor, he (Mr. Brown) would take care be would not be negligent of what he thought his duty, to remind that gentleman of his duty. He regretted he bad allowed the present Mayor to continue for so long a period un- mindful of his duty; but he (M r. Bro n) would let Alderman Townsend know that he should not apply his offensive observations either to him (Mr. Brown) or to any other gentleman. If they met for the interest and welfare and success of the town, let them meet as gentle- men, and conduct themselves as became gentlemen—let them differ in debate let them be warm in debate-Iitit let tbem not forget the conventionalities of society. (Cheers.) Alderman Townsend, with great warmth, remindad Mi. Brown of one broadside of bis (the Alderman's)- he had returned Mr. Brown as mayor a second tima, in the face of a strong opposition, and when the law bor- dered very closely against him. That broadside told But the broadside of ingratitude had come down upon him (the Alderman) from the commencement of bis (Mr. Brown's) career at the Board, and he bad been assailed by Mr. Brown with everything spleenful and vindictive. Hence the fee!ing he (the Alderman) had expressed and the strong language he had used. No gentleman at that Board bad stronger feelings of generosity and honour than the present Mayor, whom Mr. Brown could not win from the purposes of truth. He (the Alderman) would not have used the strong language he did had he been treated in the courteous manner he ought to have been. He had grown gray in the public service be bad sat at that Board 40 years ——— Mr. Brown What do you talk about ? The Council has not been constituted 40 years. Alderman Townsend Six and thirty then. Mr. Brown No; not six and thirty either. Mr. Llewellin Allow me to rise to order. What is the question before the Board ? Mr. L. A. Homfray: Personal explanations. Alderman Townsend He had been here long before the passing of the Reform Bill, and was therefore correct in what he said. He had been a Town Commissioner, and had therefore had a seat at a public Board, if not at the Council and what- ever Mr. Brown might think of what he (the Alderman) had done, he had always done his best, and it was by such spleen as had been evinced by Mr. Brown espe- cially, that his efforts had bem frustrated He had always tried to do, and the inhabitants would give him credit for trying to do. that which was the best for the majority. But there were many things done in the town which it was shameful to do. Mr. Brown had been fighting a certain matter for years. He (the Alderman) at the onset had endeavoured by every means to show the injustice of the appointment of the magistrates' clerk. Mr. Brown was then the first to take up the cudgels for the magistrates' clerk, and d,fend him in the wrong. Since then Mr. Brown had turned round, and been fighting the magistrates' clerk for years. What did Mr. Brown call that but spleen ? Could Mr. Blown call that consistency ? Let not Jr. Brown talk about putting him (the Alderman) right. He al waye did what was right, without offence to any gentleman and if he had offended any one, it was because he had been brought out in temper by certain individuals who had not the interest of the town at heart, but endeavoured to aggran dise and flourish and bring themselves into popularity by claptrap. He (the Alderman) had been consistent and honourable in purpose, and defied any one to say he had wilfully done a wrong act. He would stand the test of the books and pay a hundred guineas for every wrong thing, wilfully done, that could be brought against him. Yet he was ever the subject of attack; and only that very day some of his friends bad said to him out of doors they wondered he was not tired. Mr. Brown had attacked him some years ago with a vote of censure but what cared he (the Alderman) about that ? No more than for a piece of brown paper What was the odds to him ? He had done his duty, and would not be de- terred from doing it! The Mayor I was rather taken aback by the obser- vations of Mr. Brown. I did not know my conduct had been open to the grave censure Mr. Brown has so lavishly poured against me. I have done everthing, as far as I know, during my year of office to your satisfaction and my own credit. With regard to the charge brought against me, if I have allowed too unlimited liberty to the gentlemen over whom I have the honour to preside, I can only siy on more occasions than one when this chair wits occupied by the gentleman who makes the charge, 1 was obliged to sit down, and theugh called upon by Mr. Lyne and others to proceed, I had no assistance whatever from Mr. Brown, and for many meetings could not have an opportunity of addressing the Board. Tne subject was not further pursued. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. GENTLEMEN,—The following building plans have been submitted, and are recommended to you for approval — For one house on north side of Chepstow-road, by Mr. Lawrence, for Mr. Hicks for one house on south side of Lewis-street, for Mr. Mark Hazel; and for a show-room on north side of Clarence-place, for Mr. Gwatkin. rAp. proved.] The Public Works Committee have ordered the exten- sion of the public sewer on Chepstow-road, on the owners of the adjoining property agreeing to contribute one-fourth of the cost, with the understanding that it shall be ex tended to the borough boundary when required on similar terms. [Confirmed.} A new lamp is recommended to be erected on the south side of Frederick-street between Broad-street and Potter's- parade, in accordance with the memorial of the inhabi- tants Lamp No. 243 being continued in its present posi- tion at the corner of Frederick-street and Potter't'-parade. until the opposite angle is built upon, and protection is thereby afforded for lamp. [Ordered.] The engineer and the contractor for the Newport bridge alterations have been communicated with, on the subject of improved lighting for the safety of the public during the alterations and it would be well for the Board to con- sider at the same time the propriety or otherwise o lighting permanently on the completion of the works the three or four lamps which will be placed on the bridge. (Signed,) CONYBRS KIRBY. The question of lighting Newport bridge was referred to the Public Works Committee, with instructions to provide temporary lights forthwith. It was stated, in reply to a question, that notice to repair the road leading to Station-street, previous to its being constituted a public road, would be served on the owners this week. The Collector reported that he had received X151 8s 8d during the last fortnight. Mr. L. A. Homfray complained of the bad condition of Marshes-road, and it was stated in reply that the repair of the road was the duty of the Turnpike Trust. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT.

Owner, Mrs. Mary Anne Jones is merely a sloping shed, bailt against the end of another house. The roof is leaky and in a most dangerous state. This one-roomed hovel, tenanted by a man and his wife, is quite unfit for human habitation. 7.-0ccupier, Caroline Jones. Agent, Mr. Wm. Lewis. The roof is leaky and windows smashed. 8.—Occupier and owner, Evan Davies. No glass what. ever in the windows even the framework is gone, up stairs. The house consists of two rooms in an abominably dirty state, and iu their present condition unfit for habi- tation. 9.—Occupier, Edward Richards. Owner, Mr. Thomas Howard. Two rooms on ground floor-windows broken -one entirely gone-ceiling in a dangerous state. The privy is untrapped, and the house generally dirty, dilapi. dated, and unfit for habitation. 10.

Owners, the Newport Corporation. The roof is in a dangerous state, and the drainage bad. This house had better be pulled down. 18.-0ccupied by Timothy Cochrane, also Corporation property The roof is leaky and in a bad state, and it is questionable whether, instead of patching up a place of this kind and expending money in repairs, it would not be more advisable to pull it down, and so improve the venti- ation of this thickly-inhabited district. 5. DAVIES, Officer of Health. I Mr Lyne offered some observations upon the foregoing report, strongly complaining that property belonging to the Corporation should be in the condition described by the Medical Officer. After a bri, f conversation—in the course of which it was stated that notice had been given to the lessees to put their houses in repiir according to the covenants- it was resolved that the Public Works Committee be re- quested to inspect the Corporation property reported upon, and he empowered to take down any houses they might think necessary.

LORD PALMEIRSTONS SUCCFSSOR.—Now that he IN restored to the coveted post of honour, the most interest- ing question is, how will he fill it? There are two ways in which he may act. The one is to attempt to rule, the other is to consent to be ruled. The former would speedily be fatal. It would be a contest between connec- tions and ability, between birth and public opinion, between the year 1832 and the year 1865, in which only one issue is possible, The result of such a contest would be the break-up of the party. And we must hope, there- fore, that no such contest will be dared. We must hope that Earl Russell will remember that, if it is his Ministry, it is Mr. Gladstone's Government. And, indeed, there is some ground for the hope, at least in so f ,r as domestic affairs are concerned. It must be remembered, to Earl RUSESTS credit, that the question of Parliamentary Re- form is that to which he has been most devoted and most steadfast. Satisfied with its first work, and naturally overrating its worth, he certainly for a period viewed the Reform Act of 1832 as a final settlement. But he has long since receded from that position, and he is un- doubtedly, of all the Whig statesmen the one who has most strenuously,if sometimes insincerely,pressed further Reforms upon the notice of Pailiament. It is not to be expected that he will be an obstacle in Mr. Gladstone's way in the principal department. At least, if he proves so, it must be our consolation to reflect that there is no other Whig statesman whom we could have associated with Mr. Gladstone, from whom greater accordance could have been expected. -'Iondon Review. A MONSTER CANADIAN CHEESE.—The chief feature of the New York Agricultural Show last week was the monster cheese from Canada. They fancy that they know something about cheese in the State of New York, and cheese was made a great feature of the show, a special building being devoted to the immense number of samples forwarded to compete for the prizes. The New Yorkers did their best, and thought they had done a good deaj, but Canada, as might have been expected, carried away the palm. Mr. Smith, of Norwich, exhibited a cheese of just a little over four thousand lbs. in weight, which laid the New Yorker. as flat as pancakes. They were crushed by it and no wonder. At first our Yankee cousins were not inclined to succumb, and were clear that the cheese was not as good as it was great. They did not succeed in picking that hole in the Canadian gray coat of Mr Smith, however. The cheese was carefully examined by the judges and pronounced fully up to the mark. THE BIG CHEESE was not on the Exhibition grounds, but in a driving.way, where it was only visible to those who would invest ten cents, for a sight of it. Still, to those who are fond of looking at curiosities it was well worth the money, and many availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing what could be done in the cheese line. The cheese stands upon an open waggon and fills up the space between the wheels, weighs four thousand pounds, is sixteen feet in circumference, and five feet four inches in diameter. There is nothing keeping it togethe except a binder" ot oloth. This proves that the cheese is made in the proper way, espe- cially when we consider the fact that it has beeu taken from Norwich to Utica, N.Y., where, as we said a few days ago, it took the first prize, both for size and quality although it was pitted against about a million pounds of Herkimer and Oneida county cheese, and then again teamed to Toronto. Five hundred and fifty dollars have been offered for the possession of this cheese, but Mr. Smith is waiting for a higher offer before he parts with it. It will ultimately go to England, probably, as the property of Mr. Smith. He will find no difficulty in selling it there, as we doubt much whether even 4,000 lbs. of cheese were ever put together even in England. Toronto Globe.
