THE MEN IN WOMEN'S CLOTHES. j On Saturday morning, Ernest Boulton and Frederick W. Park, the young men charged with conspiring together to incite to the commission of a felony, were again brought up before Mr. Flowers, a.t Bow Stree". Mr. Haxhell, proprietor of Haxheli's Hotel, said he first saw Boulton on the 7th of April last. He came dressed as a man, and was introduced by Mr. A. WestropT) Gibbins, a very old customer of the hotel. Mr. Gibbins was a gendemanof independent property, and followed no ocjupat:on. Boulton stayed at the hotel eight days. Mr. Gibbins, who had arrived at the hotel in March, remained over the time that Boulton stopped. Mr. Gibbins intro- duced Boulton as the best amateur aeiress on the boards." Mr. Gibbins occupied a bedroom and sitting room, 83 and 84, and Boulton, who was his guest, slept in 85, which was on another floor. Mr. Gibbins said that Boulton had been specially in- vited from Edinburgh to join a little musical party, He had seen Boulton in female costume about four times while staying at his house. He went out three or four times in the evening in full evening dress as a lady. He was usually accompanied by Mr. Gibbins, Mr. Somerville, and Park. Gibbins and Boulton went out on these occasions in ladies' dress. Somerville always went out dressed as a man, and Park sometimes as one and sometimes as the other. He knew Mr. Thomas, whom he understood to be a gentleman of independent property. He always came to the hotel in his own carriage. Thomas, who was also introduced by Gibbins, occasionally dressed in women's clothes. He came in his carriage so dressed to dine with Gibbins. On the night after the boat race Mr. Gibbins gave a musical party and ball at witness's house. It commenced at nine o'clock and finished about half-past three. Gibbins, Thomas, Cumming, Boulton, and Park were present in ladies' ball dress, They all, with the exception of Thomas, dressed at the hotel. There was to his knowledge another gentleman there dressed in lady's costume. He understood his name was Peel. There were six or eight" real "ladiea there, whom he understood to befriends of Mr. Westropp Gibbins. The witness was in the room the whole of the time. A slight disturbance arose npon one of the guests wishing that there should be more dancing and less singing, to which Mr. Gibbins objected. The witness then suggested that they should wind up and clear out," which was done. By Mr. Flowers: Mr. Gibbins is about twenty-two years of age, and Mr. Thomas about twenty-three ortweny-four. Mr. Gibbins had remained at the hotel till a few days ago. Cross-examined by Mr. Besley: Gibbins said he was coming up for a week's frolic, and wished to give a small party with music, in the way of enter- tainment. He is a most accomplished musician. He came again and said, "I think I will make it a little fancy dress affair," and that some of them would come in drag "—a slang term for ladies' dress. Mr. Flowers: This is the first time the meaning Df the term has been given in evidence. Cross-examination (continued) He then ordered the programmes to be printed; they were printed a few days before the ball. I sent him the proof. I think the invitations were posted from my house. One was to an address in Edinburgh. The sending out of invitations was not done in private at all. The number of friends originally intended was twenty-five, but they came near fifty. My difficulty was to arrange the supper for the extra persons, and that was the only thing which took me out of the ballroom for an instant. I heard the observations about these young fellows, such as How well they're acting!" "What fun it is!" I never saw any improper gesture or action. I do not think they were as long as an hour at supper. I heard Boulton sing very charmingly. It was his popular song, "Fading away." He sang it twice or three times or even more. Every one was delighted with it. I got them the best piano I could, according 10 my own view. I believe everybody thought they were men in women's clothes. There was no con- cealment. His voice was a perfec" soprano. One person said. It is a lady," and I told him it was Mr. Ernest Boulton, and he said it was the best ladv's voice he ever heard. I believe Mr. Boulton arrived with his luggage on the 7th of April, the dav after the boat race. To my knowledge he was not in London till then. I understood he had been pLiying ladies' characters in good society. I ex- pected him on the 7th of April. I fancy I saw a cri- tique on Mr. Boulton's periormance a" Scarborough. Mr. Gibbins t)ld me he himself had played at L^ug- ham Had! for the benefit of some charity. They were all young men—mere boys. By Mr. Straight: The ho'el was full when these things were being carried on. There was not the slightest impropriety; if there had been, I would have turned them all out. Park always came to my house as a man, then dressed as a woman, went out in the brougham, came back and dressed as a man again. I was surprised to hear the grave charge against them, and was very much hurt. Un- til convicted, I would never believe they were guilty. By Mr. Poland: I told Mr, Gibbins that there was no harm in going in ladies' dress to masquer- ade or fancy parties, but I said, If you go to pri- vate boxes depend upon it you will get into trouble. I advise you not to do it." I am willing that all my books should be examined. I never heard any person use the term drag," and I understood him to say it meant going about in women's clothes. I undertake upon my oath to say I believe everybody at the ball knew the "ladies" were gentlemen dressed up. I see that gentleman (Mr. Shaen, who was called into court) I don't re nember him at the ball. Mr. Gibbins talked of giving another little party in May. I heard there was a lady who fainted at the ball. By Mr. Besley: The lady fainted after supper. I sent a medical gentleman who was in the roomtc attend to her. He said she was a little overdone with the supper, and would soon be all right. Mr. Straight: It always is the supper, and 1101 the champagne. The steward of the Berkeley Chambers, 13 Bruxon street, said Mr. Gibbins took rooms in the chambers from the 1st of April. He had not been there for a out a fortnight, although he had given no notice to quit. He had been introduced by Park, who was a yearly tenant at the chambers. Park generally slept at home. Park took chambers in December, but did not enter upon possession till the midd'.e oi January. At the time he wore a moustache. Peter B iberts, one of the warders in the House of Detention, put in a list of the articles of clothing worn by the prisoner when first brought up at Bow- street. By Mr. Besley The prisoners have had friends to visit them s nce their arrest. I do not know that Mr. Cumming, has visited them. I do not know the names of any of the visitors. Mrs. Agnes Dickson said she let lodgings at 118, Princess street, Edinburgh. Boulton lodged with her from the latter end of October in last year to the beginning of April. Mr. Louis Charles Hurt took lodgings for him. Mr. Hurt lived in the house during the time Boulton was there ard paid all his exp-nses. Hurt had a bedroom and sitting room, and when he was away on business, ashe frequently was, Boulton occupied his bedroom. Sometimes, when Hurt was at home, they forgot to order a bed for Boulton and then he and Hurt slept together. The witness identified the handwriting in the three letters read in court on Saturday, and signed "Louis" as being that of Hurt. She also identified to the best of her belief other letters handed to he]; ns being in the handwriting of a person named Fish who used to call to see Hurt and Boulton, in Princes-street. At the co-e of the evidence Mr. Poland proposed to read the rest of the letters. There was one, how- ever, he said, which, containing a number of pri- vate names, ought not to be read in court.—Mr. Flowers agreed in that opinion, unless the defen- dants' counsel desired it.—Mr. Besley said he should ask to have all the letters read in court, if the Trea- sury continued to refuse to give him copies of all the letters which the police had seized.—Mr. Poland said that, his case being substantially closed his Learned Friend had a right to copies, and should have them. He would have to ask for the committal of the prisoners upon the evidence adduced.—Mr. Besley: On what charge?—Mr. Poland said he should ask that they be committed—firstly, for a general conspiracy to commit an abominable crime; secondly, conspiring with other persons to commit an a ominable crime; and thirdly, by conspiring to incite other persons to commit the same crime. And there is also a question whether it would not be to commit an offence against common decency, for which they would be amenable at common law. Also, with reference to Park, there would be evi- dence before the jury to show that an offence had actually been committed by him. Mr. Besley: But it is necessary to state with whom, how, when, and where ? Mr. Poland I should fall back upon the legal charge, as—with oivers persons, at divers times, between such-and-such and a time and the present. The prisoners were then remanded for a week. The Birmingham Festival, it is announced, will begin on the 30th of August, and end on the 2nd of September. The novelties are Mr. Benedict's St. Peter," and two cantatas by Ferdinald Hiller and Mr. Barnett the large works being Mendels- sr) hn s Elijah, Sir M. Costa's Naaman," Handel's "Messiah and Samson,' and Mozart's "Requiem." We learn (says the Musical Standard) that the Three Choirs festival is exposed to far greater danger of extinction than has hitherto been sup- posed, a "cold fit having suddenly supervened after the preliminary attempts made to arouse re- sidents to a sense of the necessity of collecting JB8,000 on the part of the city and county within three years. RISK ALLAH BEY.—This person, whose trial in Belgium caused so much interest some time since is about to appear again before a law court in the character of a plaintiff. It appears that H-.sk Allah took passage on board the steamer Teverino for Bey- rout but the vessel was wrecked and his baggage was lost. He has made a claim to a large amount upon the Messageries Imperiales and has com- menced a suit in the First Chamber of the Civil Tri- bunal of Paris.

THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S SPIiSCH ON THE PLEBISCITE. The ceremony of the formal proclamation of the j plebiscite took place at the Tuileries on Saturday. The Emperor delivered the following speech :— "Gentlemen,—In receiving from your hands the ccasus of the votes given on the 8th of May, my fcrst thought is to express my thanks to the nation which, for the fourth time during 22 years, has given me a striking token of its confidence. Uni- ver.- £ :l suffrage, the elements of which are renewed without cessation, nevertheless preserves in its nobi.ity a persevering will. It has for its guidance its tradit on, the safety of its instincts, and the firmness of its sympathisers. The plebiscite had for its ole object the ratification by the people of a, constitutional reform but amid the conflict of opin.ons and in the excitement of the struggle the discussion was carried beyond this. Let us not re- gret this. The adversaries of our institutions have raised the question between the revolution and the empire. The country has solved it in favour of the system which guarantees order and liberty. The empire now finds itself strengthened upon its base. It will show its force by its moderation. My Government will cause the laws to be executed without partiality as well as without weakness. It will not deviate from th e liberal course which it has traced. Respecting all rights, it will protect all interests without keeping in mind dissentient votes and hostile manoeuvres; but it will also know how to make respected the na- tional will which has been so energetically mani- fested, and will maintain it in itself, and also above all controversy. Freed from the constitutional questions which divide the best minds, we must now have but one object in view. To rally round the constitution which has just been sanctioned by the country, by the honest men of all parties, to in- sure public security, to calm party passions, to pre- serve the social interests from the contagion of false doctrines, to find by the aid of the highest intel- lects the means of increasing the greatness and prosperity of France, to diffuse education, to sim- plify the administrative machinery, to carry activity from the centre where it superabounds to the ex- tremities where it is wanting, to introduce into our codes of law, which are monuments, the improve- ments justified by experience, to multiply the gene- ral agencies of production and riches, to promote agriculture and development of public works, and, finally, to consecrate our labour to this prob'em, always resolute, and always seeking to find the best repartition of the burdens which press upon the taxpayers. Such is our programme. In realising it our nation, by the free expansion of its powers, will advance the progress of civilisation. I thank you, gentlemen, for your presence on this solemn occasion, and may the affirmative votes which rati- fied those of 1848, 1851, and 1852 also strengthen your powers, and give to you as to me new strength to work for the guod of the country. We must at the present time more than ever look fearlessly for- ward to the future. Who, indeed, could be opposed to the progressive march of a dynasty founded by a great people in the midst of political disturbances, and which is fortified by liberty." M. Schneider, the president of the Legislative Body, in presenting to the Emperor the result of the plebiscite, delivered a speech, in which he recalled the origin of the empire and its restoration of the country's prosperity. He declared that from the beginning the Emperor had proclaimed that liberty should crown the edifice. H This will be," said M. Schneider," the eternal honour of ycur reign, that you have resolved to make France one of the fore- most among free countries." The President of the Legislative Body thenalludedtothe differentreforms which have taken place during the last ten years before arriving at the plebiscite, and said Ap- proving the parliamentary constitution of the em- pire the people, in its absolute independence, voted in your favour with an unanimity the force of which no one can deny. In welcoming the empire by more than seven million of suffrages, France says to you Sire, France is with you go on confidently in the path of all realisable progress, and establish liberty, based on respect for the laws and the constitution. France places the cause of liberty under the pro. tection of your dynasty, and of the great bodies of the State. M. Schneider's speech was frequently applauded.

THE GREEK MURDERS. Another batch of correspondence (making the tenth) has been published in reference to the mur- ders by Greek brigands. The leiters of Mr. Ers- kine add verv little* to the information previously given. Sir H. Elliott, who called at Athena on his return to Constantinople, expressed to the Greek Government and to the King the horror and in- dignat on which the crime has excited in this coun- try. Sir Henry also made known'to the King the full appreciation which was felt by the English Government of the kind sympathy for the captives which he had manifested. In reply, King George repeated what he had already stated to Mr. Erskine. In a despatch to Mr. Erskine, Lord Clarendon instructs him to insist on the right of the English lawyers now in Athens to take part in the exami- nation of parties charged with complicity in the murders. In the next despatch Mr. Erskine encloses to the Earl of Clarendon a, copy of a journal kept by the late Mr. Herbert from the day of his capture until the morning of that day on which he was murdered, and it was placed in his hands on Friday morning by Mr. Consul Merlin, who had received it from the wife of the courier, Alexander, and who stated that she found it in a basket containing old newspapers. The diary, which is very brief, adds nothing to our previous information. The latest despatch from Mr. Erskine to the Earl of Clarendon refers to the capture of several of the notorious brigands, and of the exposure of their heads at Larissa, particulars of which have already been received by telegraph. The following telegraphic reports respecting bri- gandage to the Minister of War are published — "Lepan.o, April 25, May 7, 1870, seven a.m.—With much satisfaction we inform you that yesterday, at the village of Arachova, Demos of Proehion. the notorious brigand chiefs Constantelos, Papatrambas, Spathias. and Evangheli were killed. A follower of Censtantelos, the proclaimed brigand Thanaso- poulos, was captured, mortally wounded. The bri- gand chief Tzitouras, and another (unknown) have been wounded. It is hoped they will be captured. By these satisfactory results the question of brigand- age at Lepanto has been solved.—The Eparch of Lepanto—(Signed), C. Yannakos the Commander of the Flying Column, J. Douglas, captain." "Le- panto, April 25, May 7, 1870, eight a.m.—With re- ference to our telegram, bearing the same number, concerning the destruction of brigand chiefs, we inform you that at this moment, eight o'clock a.m. a special messenger has brought us the satisfactory n tvs of the destruction of the band of Spanos (not the Attica chief), he himself, and his follower Koumbourli, being killed, and the brigand Yanno- poulo captured. They were attacked at Gregoriou of Apodotias. The results are invaluable.—The Eparch of Lepanto—(Signed), C. Yannakos; the Commander of the Flying Column, J. Douglas, cap- tain." Steilida, April 25, May 7, 1870, 8 10 a.w. —I am glad to inform you that I have just learned by a detachment of Gardikiou that yesterday in a conflict of the military and brigands, between Shamakou and St. Theodore, a brigand was killed. The pursuit continues. Details by post.—(Signed) Demetrakarakos, Lieutenant Colonel of the 10th Battalion. According to a telegram from the Eparch of Valto, dated April 2' o.s. the brigand Tzirka has been captured.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will probably spend a fortnight at their Norfolk seat in July. be- fore troinsr to Scotland for the arouse season. Mr. C. Halle writes to the Athencewn :—VYrill you kindly allow me to inform your readers that I did not offer my services for the Bonn Festival, as stated in your number of this day, but that I have accepted the invitation which I have had the honour to re- ceive from the Committee." Mr. Duckworth's new drama, Under a Ban,' which has been received with great favour at the Alxandra Theatre, Liverpool, will be most probably played in London shortly, with Miss Phillis HIll, who his sustained the principal character with considerable SUC^.JSS, in her original part. Herr Baudiumn and his wife, well known in England as Miss Milly Palmer, have been perform- ing with great success in Sydney. They have apoeaivd in Hamlet," "Romeo and Juliet," Othello." The Merchant of Venice," Much Ado about Nothing," and Don Caesar de Bazau. M. A. Dumas's play, Musquito," written for Miss Lydia Thompson, which, notwithstanding some assertions to the contrary, is undoubtedly the work of thatanthor, has achieved a great success at New York. The piece, which is of the most sensational description, is magnificently mounted as regards costume and scenery, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF AN UNDERGRADUATE.— :Ur- an exhibitioner of Balliol College, a1-- £ mf V ll'T^ 8uicide by cutting his throat on Fudaj. He was found by a man named Rowland, with a ra/oi by hw side, covered with blood, and conveyed to the Infirmary, where he lies in a precarious state.

Australian papers state that he declined a Companionship of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, when that distinction was accepted by Mr. O'Shanassy and Mr. Sladen j and that by the last mail a despatch from Lord Granville was re- ceived in which the writer observes that although the rank of Knight Bachelor takes precedence of a Companionship of any Order, it is in general less significant of peculiar services or personal eminence, and that he has little doubt that in this country a Companionship of the Bath would in gencrafbe valued at least as highly as a knighthood by those who are eligible to it. But on the present occasion hc was very desirous to avoid anything that coidd be considered a slight either to Mr.M'Culloch or to the influential aarty connected with hinio politics. —Timzs,

SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE. IN THE ISLE OF MAN. A report of another dreadful tragedy has come to band from the Isle of Man. A young man named Wil iams, who, it is said, was connected with a well-to-do English family, visited the island some time ago, and became attached to a barmaid a the Castle Mona Hotel, Douglas, and to whom he was recently married in Manchester. On Tues- day week they went to the Isle of Man after their wed ling tour, and it was alleged that during the next two days Williams drank heavily, and was very eccentric in his manner. On Thursday he was conveyed home in a state of intoxication and on Thursday night, having partly shaken off the effects of the morning's debauch, he went to the Derby Hotel, and condu ted himself in a violent manner, threatening to shoot the barmaid. In his frenzy he seems to have formed a determination to murder somebody, and Mr. John Gold, the land- lord of the Derby Hotel, was unfortunately marked out as his victim. Williams was armed with a re- volver, and with this weapon he fired at Mr. Gold, the ball penetrating the brain. In the panic which ensued Williams rushed from the hotel, and got away unmolested. Medical aid was procured as promptly as possible for Mr. Gold, but it was wholly unavailing, death resulting in a few mo- ments. After leaving the Derby Hotel Williams seems to have gone straight to his lodgings, situate at a distance of about a quarter of a mile from the hotel, and there he destroyed his own life by shoot- inw himself with the revolver with which he had killed Mr. Gold. An official investigation into all circumstances of the tragedy has been instituted.

THE OUTRAGE AT CHRIST CHURCH. OXFORD. The surrender of the perpetrators of the recent outrage at the library of Christ Church has released the authorities of that Society from the painful dutv of prosecuting, and enabled them to take the punishment of the offenders into their own hands. During the week, meeting after meeting has been held both by the authorities and undergraduates, and it having been found by the latter that in the absence of a confession, the whole truth would un- doubtedly be elicited at a public inquiry in a court of justice, they made a virtue of necessity, and gave in their names to the Dean, on the understanding that they were to escape a prosecution, and on Sa- turday morning the nature of their punishment became known. Three or four of the ringleaders have, it appears, been expelled-i.e., had their names taken off the books of the college, without the option of entering at other colleges, while one has been rusticated for eighteen months and one for twelve months, and the two least culpable of the party have been gated," or, in other words, confined withig the college walls until the end of term (in June next). The gentleman who has ab- sented himself since the affair was discovered is, it is said, amonsrst those who have been dismissed the college. His father, who is a well-known Lon- don banker, has been to Oxford several times in his son's absence, and is much distressed at the conduct of his son, who was one of the most popular and one of the leading members of Christ Church. The other ringleaders are gentlemen whose names will be found in the lists of the landed gentry, and the less onendingpartiesareconnectedwiththepeerao-e.

THE LATE TRADE OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER At the Manchester City Police Court, on Satur- day morning, Malachi Ryan, who was apprehended I at Bolton on Friday, on suspicion of being cocerned in the incendiary fire at Chapel-street, Ancoats, on 30th April, which caused the destruction of a large quantity of timber, the property of Mr. Edward Johnson, builder, was placed in the dock charged [ with incend'arism. j Sergeant Joseph Hepworth, of theRochdale borough police, stated that he apprehended the prisoner, While being conveyed in the train from Bolton to Manchester, he said, I have nobody but George Hopkins, of Rochdale." The prisoner had been drinking, but he was not far gone in drink.—The prisoner, on being asked if he had any question to put to the witness, said he was so drunk that he did not remember leaving Bolton at all, and when he wakened next morning he could not believe tLat he was in Manchester. George Hopkins, said he was by trade a chair- maker, like the prisoner, but he now kept the Beaver Inn beerhouse, at Rochdale. He had known the prisoner for twenty years. On Thursday h met him accidentally in the Wheat Sheaf Inn, Bolton. He was quite sober then and said he had' just come from Manchester. The two men had several glasses of ale together, and, after spending nearly two hours in drinking, the witness left for the railway station, and was accompanied by the prisoner. Outside the railway station the prisoner said. George, I want to say summut to you," and he afterwards said, Do you recollect that fire at Johnson's timber yard?" and witness answered "Yes." "Well, then," the prisoner continued, I did it." The witness said, "Well, if you have done it, you have no business to tell me nor any- body else." The prisoner replied, "Ay, lad, but thee'11 never split." The witness said, "I'll bid thee good-bye," put half-a-crown in his hand, and went away. He had given 3s. previously to that, On Friday witness went to Bolton again, and found prisoner in a beerhouse asleep from the effects of drinking. A man named Higgin was with him. The prisoner was awakened, and the three men joined in a glass of ale. The witness afterwards asked prisoner to accompany him for a walk,and be said I will go with thee, if I hall not shame' thee." Higgin also went with them. Witness took prisoner aside, and said to him, Do you know what you said to me last meet!" The prisoner answered, fC Yes, but thou'lt never split; my life's in thy hands." Witness said, "Then thou ought not to ha' told me," and asked him Low Le did it. The prisoner then said, "Thou want'st to know the whole now. Well, I got by the back way over the wall. and I thought I had broke my leg when I leet into the yard; but I come round in a minute or two. I had a bottle of naphtha, and I sprinkled it on some boards, and made a train of gunpowder and steel filings. I got £14 for the job. I received it in two sums of £ 7 each. A few of the brickmakers gave me a pound each, and made it up to £ 20." Witness then asked the prisoner if he knew any- thing about the house," meaning Mr. Johnson's house at Levenshulme. The prisoner said Yes," but at that moment the man Higgin came forward and interrupted the conversation. Witness after- wards left the prisoner in a beerhouse, and gave the men sixpence to have a quart of ale. He then re- turned to Rochdale, and had not seen the prisoner sin^e until he appeared in dock that morning. The prisoner, on being invited to cross-examine the witness, said I have nothing to ask him; but it is a parcel of lies altogether. I was drunk, and I was only— The Stipendiary Magistrate here interrupted, and cautioned the prisoner against making any state- 1,t-T^he.C1Se was remanded, on the application of the detective in charge, for a week.
