HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT. The monthly court was held at the Shire-hall, on Tuesday, before John Johnes, Esq., the Judge. The plaints heard were of no public interest. Re Edward Hodson, of Quay-street, Haverfordwest, earthenware dealer, &c. &The insolvent appeared for his first examination under the protection Act. His debts amounted to a6 4s. 7d., and his assets to £ 6 las. 2d. His insolvency was attributed to a loss by damaged potatoes and a falling off in his business. Mr. Parry appeared in support of the insolvent. Mr. T. W. Davies, a creditor, opposed the insolvent on the ground that he had not made a full and true discovery of his property and effects, and that he had obtained goods from him and his partner fraudulently. The insolvent being sworn said, 1 am in lodgings with my father, and have been so for 20 years. I have dealt in glass and earthenware before I met with this bad lot of potatoes. I have paid nothing to my father per week. I take one room or two. I have no room as a shop. My father does not bake bread-my wife does. My wife and myself sleep in my father's bed-the children sleep in another room. There are five rooms in my father's house. I had a sign with my name on it. It was pulled down by my order. It was to that house the goods were delivered. The excise said my name must be put up. My wife han- dled the money and paid all. There was no flour of mine in the house when I made out my schedule. I took £10 to a person to pay for flour. I used to keep a stall of earthen- ware. I sold the stock. I bought goods of a person from Neath. I disposed of my goods. They were not worth more than L2 altogether. I used to attend Pater market, and had a stall there. I sold goods there last January twelvemonth. I had no right to a lighter here. My father has a lighter now. I have no lighter. I never had claim to that lighter. I have no property except what is stated in my schedule. I have inserted all the debts due to me. James John, lighterman, was called and deposed that be had been employed in the insolvent's lighter. She was in the insolvent's name. He knew that by the bills which were sent down to the collieries in his name. The insol- vent gave the orders to fetch the rulm. About a week ago the insolvent paid him out of the lighter, and said he should not go in her any more, as she belonged to him. T. W. Davies deposed that the insolvent's shop was still carried on by him, and he did a good trade as a baker and retailer of flour. After he had summoned the in- solvent to tbisi conrt he did away with his crockery, cleared out his stall altogether, and put the goods in a neighbouring stall. The insolvent admitted to him two years ago that the lighter belonged to him. His Honor said he was not satisfied about the crockery nor the lighter. Mr. Parry asked to have the case adjourned until the plaints were disposed of. His Honor said he would grant an adjournment until next Court-with permission to all parties to produce evidence. Mr. T. W. Davies said he would be prepared with ad- ditional evidence by that time.

Haverfordwest.—The small-pox is raging very fiercely in this town at present.— Telegraph. IJHAVERFORDWF.ST. -Sir Geo. Grey has written to the Town Clerk stating that he had laid before the Queen the loyal and dutiful address of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the town and county of Haverfordwest, on the occasion of the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, which her Majesty was pleased to receive most graciously. Haverfordwest Vestry MEETING. — An adjourned meeting of the parishioners of St. Mary was held in the parish church on Tuesday. The meeting was called to decide whether the Overseers of St. Mary were to return as usual a list of persons qualified to serve as Constables for the parish. The vicar the Rev. Thomas Watts presided, and the vestry was unusually large. The chairman having read the requisition calling the meeting, Mr. John Richards, one of the overseers stated the expenses which had been charged to the parish during the past year in payment of parish constables. He contended that these constables were unnecessary and that the law did not require their payment. Several parishioners admitted that the constables were un- necessary, but doubted whether it was imperative to make a return. Mr. William Vaughan James, solicitor, then stated that some six months ago he had been consulted by the over- seers on that question—that be then gave the subject all his attention and came to the conclusion that the law did not require the appointment of these constables. However, as he did not wish the overseers to act solely on his advice, under their instructions he took the opinion of counsel which he would read to the vestry. Mr. James then read the opinion of Mr. Archbold, who in most distinct terms stated that under the Municipal Act it was not needful to appoint parish constables for boroughs. Mr. James further stated that in order to justify himself still stronger he wrote to the editors of the Justice of the Peace, and he would read their opinion. Their reply corroborated the reply of Mr. Arch- bold. Mr. James, in conclusion contended that as Haver- fordwest must for police purposes be either a borough or a county, it is not needful if it be a borough to appoint parish constables under the Municipal Act, and if it be a county then it comes under the provisions of Sir George Grey's Act, and the Watch Committee are deprived of all power in the matter. Mr James Eaton Evans, solicitor, gave expres- sion to similar vie" a. Ultimately it was resolved on the motion of Mr. John Phillips, druggist, seconded by Mr. John Williams, spirit merchant, that the overseers be instructed not to return a list of persons qualified to serve as con- stables. On the motion of Mr. W. V. James, seconded by Mr. William Llewellin, it was resolved that the vestry indemnify the overseers against any consequences which may arise from their refu-al. Mr. Thomas Martin was nppointed assistant-overseer for the parish. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting terminated. St. David's.—Public Lecture.—The first of a series was delivered by Mr. W. P. Propert, on Friday last. Mr. Propert's lecture on the Ladies" (although a rather delicate subject to introduce) gave threat satisfaction. The happy combination of humour and instruction could not fail to benefit as well as to divert his numerous audience. Some of the characters he selected were- the boarding school .Miss, the fast young lady, the sentimental, the flirt, the old maid. His vivid descriptions showed that he had evidently studied them in the Book of Nature." I' was illustrated by a variety of comic and sentimental songs, accompanying hia self on the pianoforte. Mr P.'s musical skill iis so well known that it requires no comment. KiLgerkan PETTY Sessions.—A special petty sessions for this hundred was held at the Fishguard Arms, Bridge- end, St. Doginells, on Saturday, the 20th inst., before David Davies and Stephen Edward Colby, Esrs. Griffith Edwards, of Penbryn, in the parish of Bridell, was sum- moned at the instance of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for non-payment of 125 7s. 3Jd. amount due from him for duty upon malt. Mr. Dunn, the supervisor of the district, a care-d to prosecute on behalf of the commis. Bi oners. Jacket, an officer of Inland Revenue, proved that he duty surveyed the defendant's malt.house and pre- mises, and calculated the amount of duty due, which was as stated. Proof of the service of the summons upon the de- fendant, and also of tl;e non-payment of the duty was given. The defendant did not appear, nor was any defence otiered on his behalf, and be was fined double the amount of duty

GLAMORGANSHIRE. MURDER OF A GREEK SEAMAN AT SWANSEA. On Wednfsday morning last, the inhabitants of Swansea were thrown into a state of excitement by a rumour that, on the previous night, a brutal murder had been committed within the immediate precincts of the borough, and that two men had been apprehended on suspicion of being con- cerned in the commission of the crime Subsequent events have proved the rumour to have been too true, and the mystery in which the transaction seemed to be enveloped increased the excitemert to a painful pitch of tension ;-— but as iink after link of circumstantial evidence developed t!icms< 1-es, it became a matter of lit, le moral doubt as to the two unfortunate men in custody being the perpetrators of the crime. It appears that bttween eight and nine o'clock on Tuesday night, some men, who were watching a boat-load of tin that lay in the canal, near the I Ship and Castle Inn,' heard a noise of persons contending in a foreign language. A few moments afterwards they heard a splash u if a body had been tiuown into the water: and on pro. ceeding to the spot, opposite Messrs Morgan and Bowen's coal-yard, they perceived something floating on the surface, which, by thp aid of a boat-hook, they brought ashore. On examination it was discovered to be the body of a man, still warm and steaming, but presenting a ghastly spectacle. It was removed to the Ship and Castle,' and, on closer scrutiny, the head was found to have been beaten and smashed in the most frightful manner, while four gashes, from which blood was still flowing, were discernible in various parts of the side and chest. On searching the spot where the body was found, a sort of )ife-preserver, co.ered with blood, was picked up, being a round ball of lead or iron, about the size of a tennis ball, incased in a net-work of plaited cord, suspended from about ten inches of rope, to the upper extremity of which was a loop to sling the implement to the wrist. The ball, however, was detached from the cord-broken, it would seem, by the violence with which it had been used-a fracture on the skull of the deceased corresponding with the globular shape of the bullet. A large jagged stone, also covered with blood, a tobacco-pipe smeared with blood, a Scotch cap, and a walking-stick, were also found on the spot. The nature of the stabs upon the body of the murdered man were each of them sufficient to have caused death. The lungs were pierced in several places and such was the force with which one of the blows, dealt from behind, was inflicted, that a rib with which the knife or dagger came in contact was severed close to the spine, and the deadly instrument, obedient to the propelling force at its hilt, had passed through, inflicting a wound in the right lung three inches in depth. Another stab, in the left armpit, had nearly transfixed the left lung. Added to these was the terrific blow on the head and it is a matter of certainty that the death of the unfortunate victim must have been instan- taneous. On receiving information of the occurrence, Mr. Super- intendent Dunn immediately instituted inquiries; and it was found that the deceased's name was Atanasio Mitro- frani, cook on board the Greek brig 4 Penelope,' lying in Swansea docks, and which had only arrived in port eighteen days before. He was a young man, a Greek, twenty-four years of age. About twelve o'clock on the night of the murder, the superintendent had succeeded in tracing two men, who were lodging at the I Jolly Tar,' in Wind-street, both of whom he had strong suspicion were the persons implicated in the commission of the crime. They were taken into custody, when, from printed certificates of their discharge as seamen, found upon their persons, it was discovered that they were Greek sailors. The name of one of them is Manoli Zelopbanta, and the other Alleppi. Z 'iophanta was born at Greece in the year 1832, and is therefore in his 26th year. In March, 1857, he engaged himself on board the Abeona,' registered at Shields, and was discharged from that vessel on the 8th of January in the present year, at Dublin. His certificate of discharge, signed by William Ogy, master of the ship, and Thomas Crosby, shipping-master, testifies to his character of ability, in whatever capacity, as good. He has long straight black hair, abundance of beard, and no moustache, has an im- perfect knowledge of English, understands French, is of a fierce and forbidding aspect, and stands about five feet seven or eight. His companion, Alleppi, was born at Samos in 1833, and is consequently in his twenty-fifth year. He entered the ship Archipelago' on the 20th of October, 1857, at Shields, and was discharged from that vessel on the 29th of December, at Harwich. His certificate of discharge. signed by Henry Walker, master of the ship, and J. T. Freeman, shipping-master, testifies to his conduct as being gooJ, and to his character for ability, in whatever capacity, as good. He also has long straight black hair, full beard, and a small moustache. His aspect is fierce and forbid- ding he seems not to understand anything of the English language and is about the same stature as his companion. I Neither of them can write, as their certificates of discharge bear their mark in the shape of a cross, in place of a signa- ture. They had only been in Swansea a few days, having arrived thre from Cardiff, in search, it would appear, of berths, and to which port they purposed returning. The Prisoners have been committed on the Coroners warrant for Wilful Murder.-Swansea Herald. Glamorganshire COUNTY COURT CIRCUIT.- During the six years that Thomas Falconer, Esq., has held the office of Judge of the Glamorganshire Circuit (including Brecon- shire) there have been 86,803 plaints entered; jE247,821 sued for and 422 insolvent petitions heard. The causes for sums above t20 have been 1,270 in number. BRISTOL BANKRUPTCY Court.—On Tuesday, before Mr. Commissioner Hill. Me John McBean, Pilqwenlly, sltoe- titaker a?id grocei.-Mr. Clifton, for the assignees, consented to the bankrupt passing his last examination, reserving further opposition for the certificate meeting. Mr. C. also state that the trade-assignee, having received several letters from creditors, stating that property had been secreted, was desirous of going down to Newport to investigate the mat- ter, and applied to have his expenses allowed out of the estate. Mr. Edlin objected, and his Honour thought that if the assigness consented to the bankrupt's passing his last examination, any such investigation must be made at the expeoso of the assignees. Mr. Clifton then said he would still elect to allow the bankrupt to pass, reminding him that if he did and property was found to have been secreted, he would be in a very perilous position. Re Joseph Morgan, Ca?'Mfoc?, near Nantyglo, troM?o??r.—One proof fM or Z2 21 7s. 6d. was put in, and the choice of assignees was carried by Messrs. W. Bevan and Girling. Re William Williams, Llandilo, lineii draper. Proofa for £ 1,077 lis. lOd. were admitted, and the choice of assignees was carried by Mr. Charles Bevan. In this case the assignees applied for and obtained leave of the Court to bring an action against Mr. Evans, auctioneer, of Carmarthen, by whom the bank- rupt's goods had been sold after notice of an act of bank- ruptcy. Re James and Roberts, Newport, builders.-In this case the debts proved amounted to rather more than E500, and the choice of assignees was carried by Mr. Blakey, of Newport. ———- I BRECON COUNTY AND BOROUGH SAVINGS BANK.-A meeting of the trustees and managers was held at the offices of the institution, in Brecon, on Tuesday last, for the pur- pose of appointing an actuary in the room of the late Mr. Hugh Parry Jones, and for general purposes-Colonel Lloyd Vaughan Watkins, M.P., chairman. There were two can- didates-Mr. John Evans, the deputy clerk of the peace, and Mr. Stephen Vaughan Jones, brother to the late actuary, and considerable interest was excited. Mr. Evans was proposed by Mr. J. Parry de Winton, Esq., and seconded by John Powell, Esq.; Mr. Jones was proposed by G. R. Bevan, Esq., and seconded by Mr T. B. Jones. On a division, there appeared to be-For Mr. Evans, 26; for Mr. Jones, 7 majority for Mr. Evans, 19. At the close of the proceedings a protest was sent in by Mr. Jones, the defeated can- didate, against the election of Mr. Evans, on the ground of the number of 'the surviving trustees being below that pre- scribed by the rules. It is stated that the names of two new trustees, recently appointed, had not been added by the late actuary to the printed list. The meeting decided that Mr. Evans was duly elected, and the books and papers of the institution were handed over to him.

CHARGE OF LIBELLING THE EMPEROR OF THE I FRENCH. Mr. Bodkin, counsel to the Treasury, attended at Bow- street on Monday, to conduct a prosecution against Edward Truelove, a well-dressed middle-aged man, described as a bookseller, who was charged with having unlawfully written and published a false, malicious, scandalous, and seditious libel of and concerning his Majesty the Emperor of the French, with the view to incite divers persons to assassinate his said Majesty." Mr. Bodkin said,—Sir, this is a case in which the Government have thought proper to interfere. The defen- dant is the publisher of a pamphlet-whether he is the author or no, I cannot say, but it purports to be written by W. E. Adams," and published by defendant at 240, Strand, at the price of ld. It is of a character which I cannot but designate as atrocious. It advocates the propriety of assassination, and in terms, not indeed direct, but not to be misunderstood, applies this doctrine to the Emperor of the French. I do not wish to be the party to give any unnecessary publicity to so scandalous a publica- tion, and as you have already seen the pamphlet, I do not think it necessary to read it now. Unless a remand is applied for on the other side, I shall ask you to commit the prisoner for trial at once. The learned counsel then called. Frederick Williamson, who deposed—I am a detective officer. I went on Saturday to the house of the defen- dant, at 240, Strand, where he carries on business as a book-seller. I saw him, and purchased one of these pamphlets. (Witness here produced a pamphlet in eight pages entitled, Tyrannicide Is it justifiable ? By W. E. Adams. Edward Truelove, 240, Strand.") They were Id. each. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the defendant, said,-Sir, I am only just instructed in this case, and have had no opportunity of reading the pamphlet through but I cannot help saying that I look with very considerable alarm on such proceedings on the part of the Go\einment. We are told that this is a libel on the Emperor of the French, advocating his assassination but I am prepared to say— Mr. Henry.-If you have not read it, blr. bleigh, had you not better take time to do so ? I have no objection to wait while you read it. Mr. Sleigh.-1 have not had time to read it all, but I have looked through every page, and I challenge any one (o show me where the Emperor of the French is named. I cannot help expressing alarm at this interference a ■nan's shop being entered and himself brought up in cus- tody for a publication which does not contain any reflec- tion upon any human being. I submit, with considerable confidence, that this is not a libel. The learned counsel proceeded to say that if the magistrate thought it was a libel, then defendant ought to have time to prepare his defence. In that case be should apply for a reinand-de- defendant was not asked by the officer whether he knew what the oamohlet contained. This was different from the case of Peltier, which was a personal libel. Mr. Henry.—So is this there is no doubt about it. Mr. Bodkin.—It is not necessary that the name should be mentioned. Mr. Henry.—There is internal evidence as elear as pos- sible showing to whom it alludes. Mr. Bodkin.—To my friend's application for time I shall not object, nor to the admission of defendant to ball in the usual amounts; but 1 must ask my friend to do Government the justice to remember that if it was their design to be harsh they might have indicted the defendant at once. Mr. Henry.—That was the course adopted in Peltier's case. Mr. Bodkin.—It is the usual course but as a constitu- tional jealousy of that mode of proceeding has arisen, It was i thought right to adopt the course which has been taken in order that it there was anything to be preferred in his favour he might have full opportunity of advanc- ing it. Mr. Sleigh could not adopt the suggestion that Govern- ment had acted with leniency in the matter. They might have taken out a summons instead of a warrant. Mr. Bodkin.—We are going to have a new Government, but I hope no Government will know its duty so badly as to take that course in such a case. Defendant was then remanded, being admitted to bail, in two sureties of E40, and his own recognisances for £100. Mr. Sleigh asked his worship to fix a lower amount of bail, X20 for instance, as defeadant was but a humble tiadesman, but Mr. Henry declined, and in the course of an hour bail to the amount fixed was provided, and de- fendant was set at liberty.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. The case of M. Simon Bernard, the French refugee, who was remanded from Monday week on the charge of con- spiring to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon III., having been fixed for Tuesday, the Court was beset from its open- ing at ten o'clock by persons anxious to catch a. ,sight of the prisoner. The majority of these visitors received the in- formation that the case was appointad to be heard at three o'clock with evident dissatisfaction, and appeared to take it very ill that the magistrate did not at once order the case to be called on for their accommodation, any previous arrange- ment notwithstanding. The original arrangement, however, was ultimately modified, and for the convenience of Mr. Sleigh, the defendant's counsel, the case was taken at half- past two o'clock. Chevalier Francois Estieus who, at the last examination, stated that a dagger was found on Pierri, now produced it. It appeared to be new. He also produced a piece of oilcloth which he had received from Madame Outrequin also two cases of pistols seized by the police, but he was not present at the seizure. He brought all these things from the Im- perial Court at Paris. Jean Antoine Leopold Fabre sworn—I am an inspector of French police. I was in the street before the opera house when the attack was made on the Emperor, and heard three explosions near the Emperor's carriage when he arrived there. I observed persons who were wounded by the ex- plosion. I saw about ten wounded, one of whom I noticed particularly. Mr. Sleigh objected to evidence being given of the acts in Paris, without any statement even that defendant was con- nected with those acts. This was not evidence of a con- spiracy in England. sp Mr. Jardine said the first thing was to prove an act done in Paris on the 14th January. The next thing is to connect him with it. Mr. Bodkin said the charge was that of conspiracy to ass- assinate the Emperor. He was now proving the attempt, and should afterwards prove defendant's connexion with it. Witness continued—The man I saw wounded, fell dead. Pierre Ferdinand Outrequin-I reside at 277, Rue St. Denis, at Paris. I know the prisoner very well. I am a commission agent in silk. I first saw him in the month of October, 1854, when I met him at the Cafe Suisse. I was speaking to him about a dye for silk. The prisoner then introduced himself to me, and said he was acquainted with dying silk, and knew a particular dye, as he was a chemist. He offered to make a trial of it. That was the commence- ment of our acquaintance in London. I remained in London at that time eight or ten days, and saw the prisoner nearly every day at the Cafe Suisse. I then returned to Paris. I received letters from him on the subject of silk. I again came to London in January, 1857, and remained three weeks or a month. I again came to London in March or April. I always went to the Cafe Suisse, and saw the prisoner. No conversation passed between us about a person named Hodge, but that name was mentioned. A Mr. Hodge did not call on me. After I went back to Paris I called on him. The letter now produced, by M. Leduc, was brought to me in the month of December, I think. Mr. Sleigh objected to the reading of the letter, which, however, was overruled Several objections were raised by Mr. Sleigh as to the form in which the witness should be interrogated as to the handwriting of the letter. At length it was put thus—In whose handwriting do you believe the letter to be ? He answered-All makes- me believe that it is in the hand- writing of the person who signed it. It was brought to him by Mr. Thomas Allsop. Mr. Sleigh objected to the letter being read, and said that if his worship read the letter he would see the ground of the objection. There was no proof of writing. Mr. Jardine said he saw no reason why the letter should not be read. Mr. Sleigh-Then I am entitled to cross-examine him as to his knowledge of the handwriting. Mr. Jardine—Certainly." Mr. bleign cross-examined tne witness, wno said 1 have seen the person write, but as he was engaged in private correspondence, I could not get near enough to see his writing, nor did I pay sufficient attention to recognise it. (The letter was then read. It introduced a Mr. Allsop to the witness as an Englishman, who, though he did not like to be duped, was not niggard or economical, and who spoke French like a native.) Witness continued-I went to a French prison with the officer Estien, where I saw Allsop. Ch. Estien recalled—I took M. Outrequin to the prison where Orsini was confined, and pointed out Orsini to him. M. Outrequin then produced another letter received afterwards, in the same handwriting as he believed, stating that the writer was about to consign to him a pair of mag- nificent revolvers, That was the first he had heard about pistols from him. Afterwards received another letter stating that he consigned a pair of pistols which he would gammon" Allsop to buy, and that Allsop would call for them and pay for the carriage, as the clerk recommended him not to pre-pay the parcel. The letter also mentioned that there was a sample of a material distilled from tar, for which a chemist would send. The pistols were valued at 150 francs or 16. I afterwards received a parcel containing two cases, one pistol in each. The person whom I knew as Allsop called for that parcel the same day, and said he came for the pistols. He examined them. Next day he called again, and took one box containing one pistol with the things belonging to it. I remember being at home on the Sunday next before the day of the attempt on the Em- peror. Allsop called that morning, and I accompanied him to an hotel. I left him at the door. It was the Hotel de France et Campagne. Allsop had previously told me that he hoped to get a friend, a German, named Pierey, to take the two boxes. I saw a person of the name once (previously) at Allsop's lodgings, 10, Rue Montabor. In the course of that Sunday, I found that the second box and pistol had been taken away from my house. I was repaid by Allsop for the carriage of the pistols 25 francs 55 centimes, and also, 20 or 25 for the man pour boire" (to drink). The evidence being read over to the witness, some diffi- culty arose as to the proper description of the material en- closed with the pistol, which witness persisted in calling 11 charbon" (coal), and which had been rendered "peat." The question was settled by the production of the sample. It was a dark irregular mass, resembling the refuse of gas works. He was also questioned as to how he knew the spelling of.Pierri's name, and he said that Pierri had written it down the day he called for the pistol. The sample of tar was never sent to the chemist. It was sent for when he was out, but his wife, not knowing where to find it, the person went away without it. Cross-examined — It was addressed to M. Cavaillon, Barriere Fontainbleau. He made no inquiries about such a person. Chevalier Estien to Mr. Sleigh-Did not know M. Ca- vaillon. Never heard the name. Did not know that he purified the gas for all the companies in Paris. Mr. King recalled—The covering now produced is that on the parcel I spoke of in my former evidence. It bears the seal of the company- (The oiled side of the material, on which there was a coloured pattern, had evidently been folded inside, the direction and seal being on the plain side, which presented the appearance of a coarse rough canvass.) Cross-examined -Never had any talk about French affairs with prisoner, except that day. Never heard any foreigner use the expression—" When the Emperor returns to Eng. land. I shall go back to France." Defendant asked so anxiously about the trains and packets, that I really thought he was going back. I used the seal of the company, because the parcel was nearly undone, and I sealed it more securely. Madame Melanie Julie Clementine Outrequin Heran- I am the wife of the witness M. Outrequin. I know a person named Allsop. I saw him at my house, I believe, in December, 1857. I have also seen a person of the name of Hodge, an Englishman. They came together to our house. Mr. Allsop brought a letter of recommendation to my hus- band. I only saw Hodge once. 1 saw Allsop afterwards several times. My husbmd used to go with him when he went to the tailor's, &c. I remember a parcel wrapped up in the cover produced being left at my house. It contained two boxes, each containing a pistol, and also a parcel con. taining pitch or coal. One of the boxes, containing a pistol, was taken away by Mr. Allsop, I believe. I think it was iu the month of December. Allsop called the same day. The boxes were shown to him. He did not say what he came for. She believed ho knew they had Distols. r Mr. Sleigh objected to the belief of the witness being re- ceived as evidence. Witness continued-Mr. Allsop spoke about the pistols, when he said that they had arrived. He said there was a German, a friend of his, who would buy one. I did not hear the name of the German. Allsop went out with my husband. While they were out a gentleman called for the other pistol. Not having been told to give it up, I asked him to write his name, and he wrote on a card Pierey, Hotel de France." Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—A lady called for the pitch while my husband was absent. I could not ifnd it to give her. 1 w: a taken to the prison to see Allsop. A. Esti-n recalled-I took last witness to see a person in prison. It was Orsini. M. MOrond, 10, Rue Montaber-In November last a per- son named Allsop lodged with me. I have seen him in prison since. M. Estien took the witness to the prison. The person he saw and called Allsop was Orsini. When he came to lodge with me the first time he brought his passport, which I pro- duce. The passport was dated 1851 and had been vised by the Prussian Ambassador in London. Witness continued -I asked Allsop for his passport in order to get it entered on the police register. Mr. Bodkin said that the passport was granted to the real Thomas Allsop, the person for whom a reward of £ 200 had been offered, and Orsini had travelled with it under that name. The witness continue-On the day of the attempt, Allsop went out with three others about six or seven o'clock, and returned in a cab about nine. He was wounded and bleed- ing. At about three in the morning he was arresed by the police. One of the men was his servant Gomez, another was named Silver. Allsop kept a horse. The stable was at my house. Mr. Bodkin applied for a further remand. Mr. Sleigh should not oppose the remand. The learned counsel, however, applied for bail in a long and vehement speech, calling on the magistrates to treat the defendant as if he were an Englishman, and not to be influenced by fear of a foreign power. (This created great uproar and applause in the court) Mr. Jardine, however, refused the application, and the defendant was remanded. During the proceedings a vast crowd of persons assembled in front of the court, and a few skirmishes took place be- tween them and the police, without however creating a demonstration. At twenty minutes to five, the case being adjourned, Sir Richard Mayne, with the various foreign witnesses and gentlemen interested in the inquiry, left the Court but beyond eager looks of curiosity, not a sound or outcry was heard" The police then judiciously, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Durkin and Mr. Inspector Mitchell, formed a cross line, and dispersed the mob out of Bow-street towards Russell-street. They, however, speedily appeared at the upper end in the hope of seeing the prisoner, in which they were disappointed, precautions having been taken to convey him away quietly.

COMPARATIVE FEEDING VALUE OF PULPED I AND OF WHOLE TURNIPS. By Mr. J. M'LARE, Farm Manager to Lord Kinnaird, Rossie Priory, Inchture. [Premium— £ 20.] The first series of the following experiments was in- stituted in 1855.6 with a view to private information in reference to the advantage of using turnips in a pulped form and in consequence of the premium afterwards offered by the Highland Society, the experiment was con- tinued in 1856-7. The trial with pulped turnips mixed with chaff and fermented, is not required by the terms attached to the Society's premium; but it cannot be con- sidered foreign to the subject of the report, there being many who advocate the employment of pulp in that manner. The cattle experimented on were what are commonly sold in the markets as shorthorns. They were bought in the early part of June 1855, and were then rising three years old. They were grazed during the season in a field of first year's grass on very good pasture land up to the 1st of October, when eighteen stots were selec'ed out of a lot of fifty intended for feeding. They were as nearly equal in quality, condition, and maturity as could be and, after being weighed, were divided into three lots of six each, care also being taken to make the three lots as equal in weight as possible. They were fed in single boxes each box was numbered, and the animals were never shifted. For three weeks before the trial commenced, they were allowed as many turnips as they could consume, each lot according to the manner intended for trial. On the 18th of October, when they had become accustomed to the boxes and confinement, the trial commenced by weights being taken, and a note kept of food consumed. All had a constant supply of oat straw in hecks, those on the mixtures of chaff and pulped turnips eating very little of the straw. They were fed at six o'clock in the morning on turnips, the boxes littered and fresh straw put into the hecks; doors shut and all kept quiet until eleven o'clock, when they got a feed composed of chaff, mixed with 2 lb. bean meal, 2 lb. linseed meal, and 1 lb. treacle for each beast. The treacle, bean, and linseed meal were first mixed with as much hot water as would sufficiently moisten the chaff, the whole being placed in a steam chest, along with any refuse of cabbage or turnip tops, and strongly steamed the day previous to being used. At four o'clock they had another feed of turnips, their beds done up, and stra'v re- placed in such hecks as required it. This finished the feeding for a day, but the cattleman went round at eight o'clock to ascertain that all was right. I had used the mixture, as stated above, for several years before the trial now in question, and knew it to answer very well. The expense varies, of course, with the prices of the materials composing it. The cost of 28 lb., the allowance for each beast, was, in 1855-1856, 4d. a head per day. The turnips used during winter and spring had been stored in November and December. I had intended to ascertain the progressive improvement of each animal by weighing it every four weeks, but in moving it along the passages for that purpose, the noise created such a commotion among the others, that I deferred the weighing until the end of the feeding, thinking it would then answer every practical purpose. The machinery used for the pulping of the turnips was made by Watson, millwright, Errol. It works on the same principle as the machinery used in the potato starch works. We have used it some years, and find it answer well. The motive power is a small steam-engine con- stantly employed in the preparation of food for the different feeding and store animals on the farm. By taking the number of animals feeding, and the cost of coals, "ages, &c., allowing 10 per cent. on prime cost for use, is about lid. per day for each beast, or E4 10 on each lot of beasts during the trial.

I Lot I.-Fed on whole turnips. Each animal of this lot consumed, on an average of days, as follows for 36 days from the commencement of the trial, 168 lb. of turnips divided into three feeds. On the 22d o( November they were all put on the steamed food as a mid-day feed, and had the same quantity of tirnips given in two feeds but, after a day or two, it was found that they could not con- sume so much. Accordingly, 148 lb. per day were given to each beast morning and evening, from November 25th to March 1st Swedes being used from the 10th of Jan to the end of the trial. No. I turned out a first-rate feeder, the success of the lot mainly depending on his ex- cess of increase over the average of the others. No. 4, the lightest when up, proved a restless and easily-excited animal, and did not come up to the average weight, which, on the six cattle, is 1 cwt. 102ilb. They consumed, during the trial of 135 days, 55 tons 11 cwt. 8 lb. of turnips also, during 99 days, a steamed mess, as before mentioned, costing 41d. for each beast per day—or a total cost on the lot'of £ 11 15s. ld. This consumption of food made again of 11 c m t. 531b. in weight. By assuming Gd. per lb. as a fair price for beef, the value of this gain is E32 21. 6d. and deducing the cost of extra food-viz., £ 11 15s. lid.-leaves E20 7s. 4id. as the value of turnips consumed, or 7s 41d. per ton. Lot II.—Six cattle fed on pulped turnips mixed with cut straw and given fresh. The turnips are first put through a washer and thoroughly cleaned they are then elevated to the cuttpr, when they ere cut or rasped into very small pieces. Cut straw, at the rate of 3 lo 4 Id. to each animal, is then mixed with the pulp. For the first 38 days the average consumption of this mixture by each beast was 168 lb. per day. On getting the steamed food on the 22d November, this was reduced to 148 lb.; on January 3d, to 130 lb. and after being put on Swedes, January 10th, 116 lb. was found the average consumpt per day of each animal to the conclusion of the trial. the improvement on this lot was more equal, although less than on either of the other two—the average gain being 1 cwt. 841b. Reference to the table will show that the variations, either above or below this, were very small. The lot con- sumed, during the 135 days of trial, 50 tons 16 cwt. 100 lb. of turnips, also steamed food during 99 days. Total gain on the lot, 10 cwt. 56 lb. This, at 6d. per lb., gives £ 29 8s., which, minus Ell 15s. lldA for steamed food, leaves £ 17 12s. IOjJ. But from this there have to lie deducted the expenses of engine, machinery, wages, &c., used in pulping and chaff-cutting this, being, as before stated, 1:4 10s. on the lot during the trial, leaves the free value of roots consumed at £ 13 2s. 10d. on the lot, or 5a. 2d. per ton. Lot III -Six cattle fed on turnips pulped, mixed with cut chaff, and allowed to ferment for 48 hours. The pre- paration of the food for this lot was in every particular the same as for Lot II., till after the mixing of the chaff, when the pulp was put into large boxes made for the purpose care being taken to pack it firm and hard, by treading during the operation of filling the box. If loose or not firmly packed, the mass sours, and the animals refuse to eat it. The softer kinds of turnips require shorter time to come to the right degree of fermentation than Swedes but from 36 to 48 hours, will answer for any, according to kind. When taken out of the box for feeding, the fermented matter feels as warm and smells as sweet as grains or malt. The animals took to it readily, and appeared to like it better than if fresh, while the im- provement they made speaks for its feeling qualities This I lot consumed the same quantry of turnips during the trial as Lit II. I need not, therefore, repeat the par- ticulars. The average increase in weight of this lot proved the higbest-viz., 2 cwt. 2 lbs.; but No. 2, from some reason or other, and for which there is no accounting, made very little improvement till towards the end of the experiment; yet he took his food freely, and seemed in every way healthy. Had his increase been equal to that of the others, the difference in the lot would have been material. The total gain on this lot was 12 cwt. 14 lb., which, at 6d. per lb., gives f33 19s minus £11 15s. 1 !J. for extra food, and £4 10s. for the use of machinery, wages, &c., in pulping and chaff-cutting, leaves E17 13i. 101. being, for 50 tons 16 cwt. 100 lb. of turnips con- sumed during the trial, 63. 11-id. per ton.

One trial, however, does  seem enough to establish the success or failure of this or any system. I therefore hope that the esperiment will be taken up by others, so that the farmer may shortly have sufficient data to enable him to judge which is the most economical way second experiment. of producing mat for the increasing population of the country by the consumption of his root crops at the same time keeping in view the very great importance of in- creasing the manure made on the farm The cattle again experimented on were of the same sort as last year—shorthorned steers. But being desirous of varying the experiments to test them as widely as possible, and to ascertain whet h er young or old cattle improved most in their feeding, I selected five in each lot of six from a number of two rising three years old, while the No. 6 of each lot was a three rising four years old, the same as all were last season. The increase on the ol d er animals, con- sidering the additional time the trial was continued this season, comes ver y near to the average increase of last year's lots. The younger anima l s s h ow a much larger increase, but this is accounted for by their continued growth in s i ze as well as fat. This, however, entail's a longer keep before they are fit for the butcher; but the result of this experiment wou' d warrant the conclusion that, not- withstanding the additional keep, they are the most profit- able to the feeder. The grain of 1856 having been much damaged, and the quality for feeding proportionately reduced, I increased the quantity of meal used in the steamed food (cooked the same as last year ) to 4 lb., with 2 lb. of linseed and treacle, thus making the cost of the mess for each animal 54d. per day, instea d of as before. To supplement the turnips, I a l so used a quantity of diseased potatoes and as their value was only 22s. per ton at the farm-works or railway stat i on, including carr i age t h ere, the farmer seems fully warranted in preferring to use them as food, an d convert them into manure at home.

An Insolvent's Privilege to go and Return from the Court.—A curious point was raised in two other in- solvency cases. Richard Gray Bartlett, printer, of Bilston, came up for his first examination, supporte d by Mr. Under- bill, and opposed by Mr. T. M. Whitehouse on behalf of Messrs. Hidson and Ellis, type founders, of Birmingham. In the course of his exam i nation the insolvent stated that he commenced bus i ness in Bilston, in 1835, at which time he considered himself to be worth £ 100 or £ 150. He as- cribed his misfortunes to having remove d the situation of nis shop. He was sue d in April last, an d in May made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, on the un d er- standing that no sale of his effects should take p l ace within twe l ve months —he to carry on the business and to render an account monthly to the trustees under the assignment. Within two months, however, the trustees entered into pos- sess i on an d force d a sa l e. His indignation at this proceed- ing led him, by a placard which he posted and an advertise- ment, to denounce the proceedings and to do what he could to prevent the sa l e realis i n g the value of the eoods. He valued his stock and effects at upwards of £ 600 and they only realized £ 102, an d he should be glad if they had not realise d £ 5. After the sale he obtained goods frotn Messrs. Hidson and Ellis, and in September last promise d them payment at Christmas, and stated that a friend would ad- vance him some money, and intimated indirectly that a clergyman—he being understood to refer to the Rev. H. S. Fletcher—had promised to lend him £ 150. Mr. Fletcher was called and stated that he had never promise d to lead the insolvent £ 150, though he had lent him £ 20 and become surety for him for £ 60. Mr. Ellis was also called and de- posed that in consequence of the representation made by the insolvent that a c l erg y man was going to a d vance him money that they (Hidson and Ellis) continued to give him eredit. His Honour said the inso l vent had acte d most im- properly in en d eavour i ng to pre j udice the sale of his effects, and ad j ourned the examination for two mont h s, without protect i on. Subsequently Mr. Underhill applied to the Court, stating that a sheriff's officer was ready to take the inso l vent into custody on his leaving the court, when the Judge said that he must be allowed to go and return home. Later in the day Mr. Underhill said the officer dodged the insolvent home, attempted to enter the house w h en he did, and arrested him the moment he entered. The insolvent was brought into court, an d the Judge decided that he had

But he proved himself equal to the emergencies the heroic qualities of his nature and his capacities as a soldier, must hive often been exhibited during his long and eventful military career, but they were never appreciated or acknow- ledged, and he would have passed away in the great caravan of undistinguished dead but for the Sepoy levolt. Certainly no English soldier ever before excited so marked a feeling of sympathy amon the American people as has been done by Generl Havelock, and we may feel proud that no considerations of ntional jealousy prevented a spontaneous expression of such generous impulses.New York Times.
