FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT CHESTER.
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT CHESTER. About two o'clock on Saturday, a party of excur- sionists who had come to Chester by the Primitive Methodist school trip from Ashton-under-Lyne, hired a boat at Aikman's Gardens to proceed up the river. The party consisted of Win. Lumb, fireman, Botney Ann Wood, Pott-hill, Hurst-Brook Mary Howell, Hillgate-street, Hurst Brook Ann Mitchell, Church street, Botney; Jas. Gee, Saml. Shirt, and Elizabeth Pass, Penny Meadow. The females were weavers employed at Whittaker's factory and the young men were also employed there. Two of the men took the oars and the other steered. The boat went all right for a quarter of a mile, when the occu- pants observed water coming in from the bottom. As the water rose rapidly and covered their feet they became alarmed, and were divided in their opinions as to which bank they should try to gain. They were almost in the middle of the stream, and before any well-directed effort was made the boat was swamped, and all were immersed. Some sank and were not observed to rise again, while others struggled on the surface of the water. One of these, Elizabeth Pass, was rescued by a gentleman's gar- dener, named Jarvis, who took his master's boat and put off to the centre of the river. Three others, Ann Mitchell, Jas. Gee, and Saml. Shirt, were picked up by a barge which happened to be coming along the river and made for the scene of the disaster. The bodies of the drowned, William Lumb, Ann Wood, and Mary Howell, were recovered by means of drags, half an hour after the accident. The boat was an ordinary pleasure boat, twenty feet long by four feet wide; and on its being got ashore a small hole the size of an egg was discovered in the garboards. The bodies were afterwards removed to the Town Hall to await an inquest. The news of the acci- dent, it need hardly be said, caused great excite- ment among all the excursionists, and the Town Hall was besieged with those anxious to know if they had a friend among the deceased.
- RIOTS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
RIOTS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT. The return of Mr. Baillie Cochrane, the Conserva- tive candidate, against Mr. Moffatt, seems to have exasperated the populace to such an extent as to lead to a worse riot than has been known in the island for many years. Late on Friday night a mob of several thousand persons paraded the streets of Newport, behaving in the most riotous manner. The Mayor made an appeal to them to behave in an orderly manner, but this was unavailing, and some serious assaults were committed, besides great damage being done. The mob first visited the houses of the most prominent Conservative leaders, and smashed their windows, thus destroying about 300 panes of glass. They then attacked Mr. Cochrane's committee-rooms, and inflicted considerable damage. In one hotel plate glass, valued at £50, was utterly smashed. The result of the election was also re- ceived with great dissatisfaction at Cowes, where a mob took possession of the hustings, and before they took their departure utterly demolished the wood- work. The excitement had to some extent coolled down on Saturday morning.

The two men charged with the robberty of L:11y B umont's jewels have been discharged, Mr. Knox 'ding that the evidence did not justify him in ii.iv dptaininjT either of them. THE FATAL KAILWAY ACCIDENT AT KEVV.—On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held by Dr. Dip- I lock, at the Waterman's Arms, Old Brentford, on the body of Samuel Woods, aged 19, a platelayer, who was killed on the North London Railway on Friday. Deceased was seen to leave his work about 30 yards from the New Bridge Station to go to his dinner. A train was being shunted at the time, and af: "r it had reached the siding a pointsman nam d .Jeffries saw the deceased lying on the line quite dead, and much mutilated. It appeared that the deceased had got on the steps of one of the carri- ages of the train that was being shunted, and in jumping off had fallen beneath the wheels. A ver diet of "accidental death" was returned. THE Loss OF THE CITY OF BOSTON'.—Iu the Court of Common Pleas, on Monday, Mr. Raymond, in he case of Inman v. Jenkins, said that the action WAS one arising out of the loss of the City of Boston steamer and the statement complained of was one which accompanied the letter which the defendant had received from Halifax, and which had been published in the Times. At chambers, Mr. Justice Blackburn had made an order that the defendant should answer an interrogatory which inquired whether he had published the alleged libel. The present application was for a rule to show. cause why this order should not be set aside, and it was submitted to the Court, upon the authority of Edmonds v. Greenwood, that a defendant ought not to be bound to answer a question that tended to criminate him.—The rule was granted. BREWERS' DEPUTATION TO THE HO.ME SECHE- T\RV.—On Monday afternoon, a deputation of br wprs from Lancashire and Yorkshire waited upon the Home Secretary in reference to a recent deci- sion of Mr. Justice Blackburn, in which a beerhouse keeper was deemed not to be properly licensed, in- asmuch as his house was not rated at the amount required by the Beerhouse Act. The decision turned upon the question whether the clause in the act re- ferred to townships or parishes, the rating being high enough for the population of the township, but too low according to the population of the parish, and the learned Judge read the clause re- lating to the population of the parish. The depu- tation which waited upon Mr. Bruce was introduced "by Mr. Jacob Bright, M.P., and was addressed by Mr. Wheelhouse, M.P. tor Leeds, and Mr. Clowes and Mr. Flattelev, of Manchester, and other gen- tlemen, who represented that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue under the Old Beer Act had, for the last 30 years, recognised the principle of taking the population of the townships as the basis of the rating qualification of the public house, and Judge Blaekburn's decision would inflict injury on some thousands of beerhouse keepers, besides the brewers. The deputation asked that the Home Secretary would provide some remedy for this state ot things in the bill, the second reading of which is now pend- ing in the House of Lords. Mr. Bruce promised to jMnsider the matter very carefully and very soon.
THE EDUCATION QUESTION. 1
THE EDUCATION QUESTION. A public meeting was held on Tuesday nigh\ in St. James's Hall, London, of Nonconformists, in opposition to sectarian teaching at the cost of the State. Mr.McArthur M.P., presided overa small meet- ing, which, he said, consisted of Nonconformists who are not connected with the Birmingham League or the Manchester Union. The feeling of the meeting was favourable to the principle in the Government Bill which proposes to leave existing denominational schools undisturbed; but strongly insisted that re- ligious teaching in new rate-aided schools shall be undenominational and unsectarian, and that educa- tion ought to be rendered compulsory. Resolutions were passed, affirming that so long as any classes may be required to pay rates for teaching religious tenets from which they dissent, the Government Bill cannot have the approval of Nonconformists; the second, that the meeting, while not urging the withdrawal of the grants received by existing de- nominational schools, deprecated any extension of the system, and approves of the application of a time-table conscience clause to those schools, and also the abolition of inquiries on the part of Govern- ment inspectors into religious teaching given to them; and, third, that the difficulties in the ease of rate-aided schools may be met by prohibiting the use therein of religious catechisms or formulas, the prohibition not to apply to the use of the Holy Scriptures, but such use to be under the regulation 3f a time-table conscience clause. The speakers included Mr. Henry Richard, M.P., the Rev. A. Hannay, Mr. Illingworth, M.P., and the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. ——
THE I-ENIAN "GENERAL."
THE I-ENIAN "GENERAL." Among other interesting incidents connected with I the recent invasion of Canada by the Fenians, we learn from the New York Herald that after the United States Marshal had captured General O'Neill and carried him off in a buggy, he found that gallant officer's nervousness rendered him a most fidgety and uncomfortable companion. He therefore pro- posed to administer a stimulant." General O'Neill at once expressed his cordial approbation of this course of proceeding. The two, therefore, on reach- ing a place called Highgate, alighted from the car- riage, and, arm in arm, proceeded to a convenient place to obtain some whisky. General O'Neill poured out nearly a tumblerful of the fluid, and drank it off without flinching, to the astonishment of the barkeeper, who remarked that the General drank like a Fenian." General O'Neill, together with his love for Ireland, seems to combine a cer- tain amount of affection for the ordinary enjoy- ments of life, for one complaint against him is th,lt on the morning of the attack, when awakened at three o'clock by a captain belonging to his quarters, he merely said, All right," and fell asleep again. On two subsequent occasions he was awakened wi'-h no more practical result, and on being called a fourth time he got up. Even then, however, he declined to proceed at once with the glorious work of libe- rating Ireland, but said "he guessed he would wait till breakfast." When we remember that all this time, while General O'Neill was sleeping and eatm: Ireland was groaning, or supposed to be groaning, beneath the heel of the tyrant, and that General O'Neill, by invading Canada, was able, or supposed to be able, to give her immediate relief from suffer- ing, we are not surprised to hear that some of the Fenians are very indignant, and threaten the mo- ment General O'Neill leaves his prison to shoot him dead for treachery. It further appears that Gene- ral O'Neill rode on a little pony, in citizen's clothes, his toes almost touching the ground, and a large cavalry sword dangling at his side.

At the South Kensington Museum during Wbit sun week the total admissions were 37,013. The third trial of Barrett, for the attempt tc shoot Captain Lambert, is fixed for the 20th in.t. On Saturday afternoon, during a strong win l th.* roof of the new Primitive Methodist chapel o:i tin Anlabv Road. Hull. was blown off. It appears that the Indian authorities refused to have anything to do with General Gordon, and he conies home to agitate his case in and out of Parlia- ment. In the theatre of San Carlo at Naples is a choral singer who unites with his musical duties those of a journalist and a member of several learned so- cieties. I Curiously enough, Punch in 1814 (vol. 8, p. 1,;) in I his c< Pantouiine" describes Mr. Disraeli as Lothair I (sometimes called c Young England,') afterwards Harlequin), Mr. D"Israeli." A Missouri newspaper claims that the hogs c'i: that State are so fat that in order to find out where their heads are it is necessary to make them squeal, and then judge by the sound. The marriage of Signor Polinini withMdlle. Leila Ricci is contradicted by Lc Mcnistrel, though it ap- pears that the lady has formed a connection with a bass whose line is comic.—Musical World. A great many people will be sorry to hear that M. Offenbach has been ill; they may, however, make themselves easy about the future supply of opera bouffe. M. Offenbach is now well enough to go to Wiesbaden. The Wicklow Peerage case1 being now finally de- cided, the Queen has marked her sense of the justice of the decision by permitting the brothers and sisters of the present Earl to hold the same titles they would have enjoyed if their father had survived his brother, the late Earl. Mulle. Kraus—a great favourite with a section of Pans critics—has' been appointed an honorary member oi the Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire. Only two other primes donnes— Madame Cinti-Da- moreau and Madame Bokkholtz-Falconi—have ever been similarity honoured. The falling off m the receipts of the Arundel So- ciety this year, as compared with last, is only ap- parent. Last year the receipts were swelled by legacies. On the other hand, the number of sub- scribers has considerably increased this year, and the society is in every respect prospering. L' Ent)" ade tells a story, quite seriously, to the effect that the employes of the Prussian Post Office have memorialised the chief of police to stop one of the characters in Wagner's Meisteraangen from wearing their uniform. They regard the matter as grossly insulting to the dignity of Government functionaries. MARRIAGE OF THE LADY MAYORESS OFDCRLIX. —On Saturday morning the marriage of Miss Pur- don. daughter of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, to Dr. Corlev, of York-street, was solemnised in St. Mary's Church, Dublin. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Mr. Blakeney, St. Paul's, Shef- field, cousin of the bride, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Monahan^ rector of St. Mary's parish, and the Rev. Robert vValsh, curate. The bride was given away by the Lord Mayor. Notwithstanding that the wedding was private, a large number of the citizens were assembled in the Church. After the ceremony had been performed the happy pair returned to the Mansion House, where they received the congratu- lations of a numerous circle of friends who had re- ceived invitations to the dejeuner.

A VICAR FINED FOR AN ASSAULT.
A VICAR FINED FOR AN ASSAULT. At the Hyde Police Court, on Monday, before Mr. A. K. Sidebottom (chairman) and Mr. E. H. Shel- lard, the Rev. W. H. Jones, M.A., Vicar of Mot- tram, was charged with an assault on a man named Lonsdale, on the 8th inst. The defendant did not appear. From the evidence of complainant it ap- peared that on Wednesday the 8th, he and some other men were paving the highway in front of the defendant's house and schools, at Mottram, when the defendant came out of his house in an excited state, and said to the men, Which is the man that, is doing this work ?" Complainant said he had charge of the job. The defendant then said, "And who authorised you to do it ?" Complainant said his master. Mr. Jones told complainant that the work was done wrong, which the latter denied, .vhereupon Mr. Jones said he would pull it to pieces and commenced to do so, when complainant went to prevent him, and was shoved away by the rev. gentleman, who said, in a very excised manner— You are a dirty stinking wastril, and a dirty sconn- drel for destroying my property in that manner, j- If you put any more work in I shall pull it to pieces after you have gone away at night." The Vicar added that the man must stop off working at once, and in answer to a query from Loverdale, said he would see all wages and expenses paid. It seemed that the reverend gentleman had further "rolled" against complainant in the road, and that the pave- ment was during the night pulled to pieces ns t1:.l'eatenec1. The defendant was fined 40s. and costs, or one month's imprisonment.
BABY FARMING EXTRAORDINARY,
BABY FARMING EXTRAORDINARY, A remarkable case of baby-farming was heard at the Lambeth Police-court on Monday. Margin t Walters, alias Willis, and Sarah Ellis, alias Oliver, were charged, the former with neglecting to pro- vide food for the illegitimate male child of a Miss Janet Cowan, daughter of the bandmaster of the Royal Irish Volunteers, and the latter with being concerned in neglecting ten other illegitimate children. The children were in an ante-room of the station, and their general appearance was moit heartrending. Sergeant Ralph, of the D division, stated that on the 2Sth May he saw a cab stop at 164, Camberwell- road, kent by a Mrs. Barton, a midwife. He saw an elderly female go into the house, and a delicate young lady came out and entered the cab, which was then driven to No. 1, Langloine-villas, Lough- borcugh-road, Brixton. Witness ascertained that Miss Cowan resided there, and that she was recently delivered of a child. Witness saw the advertise- ment in Lloyd,'s newspaper, of the 5th June, signed by a Mrs. Oliver, who was desirous of adopting a child for £5, which would cover every expense. Witness answered it, and made an appointment to meet her near the railway station. He went to the' house, and found the child was nothing but skin and bones, and was very dirty. He went down to the front kitchen, and there found five infants about three or four weeks old all huddled up on an old sofa. They were all quiet and asleep. There were ten children there together, ranging from a month to about two and a half years old, seven of them being boys and three girls. There were feeding bottles by their sides. The prisoner Oliver said she had had as many as 40 children under her care, but she did not know what had become of them.—Dr. Pope gave evidence as to the neglected condition of the children.—The prisoners were remanded.
A NEWSPAPER LIBEL CASE.
A NEWSPAPER LIBEL CASE. On Monday morning the Solicitor-General applied to the Court of Queen's Bench on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Greenwell, a magistrate for the county of DJr- ham, and a canon of Durham Cathedral, for a criminal information againt the publisher and pro- prietor of the Neivcastle Daily Chronicle, on account of libellous articles appearing in the course of last month with respect to Mr. Greenwell, and reflect- ing injuriously upon him in his capacity of a magis- trate. The articles in question originated in the infliction of corporal punishment upon a prisoner named Maugh while undergoing a sentence of four- teen days' imprisonment in Durham Gaol, the punishment in question, 24 lashes, having been ad- ministered by order of Mr. Greenwell. It appeared that Maugh had been committed to prison upon conviction for an assault by the Bishop Auckland bench, and that when in prison he proved very re- fractory. Thereupon he was remitted to solitary confinement upon bread and water by the governor. Upon his release from this he violently assaulted two of the warders, and as the visiting justices were not at hand, Mr. Greenwell was called in, and be ordered the prisoner to receive twenty-four lashes, which were administered. This he was justified in doing under the prison rules. Com- menting, however, upon the affair, the writer in the Chronicle declared that Maugh was suffering under delirium tremens, when the punishment was administered, and that its administration nearly killed him. The assistant of the surgeon declared that both these statements to be wholly untrue, and that not only was the prisoner in a fit condition to receive the punishment, but that it had done him no material injury whatever. Lastly the writer wound up by referring to the notoriously merciless character of clerical magistrates in general, and alluded to the case then under consideration in proof of the assertion.—The Lord Chief Justice said the rule nisi might go, inasmuch as it appeared that the articles embodied statements which were not justified by the facts; but it must not be taken that the court did not regard over-severity in the ad- ministration of punishment by magistrates as a subject pre-eminently calling for public comment. Rule nisi accordingly.

THE ISLE OF WIGHT ELECTION.—At the official declaration of the poll, on Monday morning, the Deputy Sheriff said the numbers were as follow :— Cochrane (C), 1,310; Moffatt (L), 1,282; Majorry, :i l Tie therefore declared Mr. Cochrane duly elected Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, nephew of the first Napoleon, and the son of Jerome Bonaparte by his first wife. Miss Patterson, of Baltimore, is very ill at Baltimore. He is aged 64. His mother is still living in that city, and is 90 years of age. It is stated that a Registrum Parliamentarium will soon appear. It will show the composition of both Houses from 1620 to the present date. The list of polls will include several that are not given in Mr. Smith's "Parliaments of England." At the request of an influential committee, Fin- eluding many eminent literary characters, Miss Glyn will give a farewell reading from Shakespere, previous to her departure for Australia. The read- ing will take place on Tuesday the 21st inst. A TEMPERATE COUPLE.—In a case of declarator of marriage, before the Court of Session, Edinburgh. on Friday, one of the witnesses admitted that the defender and himself had drunk 32 bottles of whisky between them in the course of ten days." "A telegram," says thf) Constitutionnel, "which we have received frotn Flensburg, states that the interview at Ems between the King of Prussia and the Czar had nothing to do with the affairs of Ga- licia, but rather with the North Schleswigr question." THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—On Monday the Nor- thern Circuit was fhed as follows:—Mr. Justice Lash and Mr. Baron Cleasby Durham, Saturday, July 0; Newcastle,Friday, July 1-5 Carlisle, Thurs- day, July 21; Appleby, Monday, July 25 Lane v ter, Tuesday, July 26; Manchester, Saturday, July 30 Liverpool, Saturday, August 13. PLOTTING A TRADE OUTRAGE.—Four men, appa- rently farm labourers, were charged at the Manches- ter Police-court, on Tuesday, with being found on the premises of Neill and Sons, builders. Strange- ways, who lately received a letter threatening a visitation like Mr. Johnson's. A strict watch was kept on the premises, and the prisoners were ar- rested. They were remanded. THE MARQUIS OF BUTE'S RETURN.—The state- ment that the Marquis of Bute is not satisfied with the Romish Church, and contemplates returning to the bosom of the Church of England, receives some kind of confirmation in the fact that there is a hitch in the completion of the purchase of the property in St. Giles's, Oxford, intended for a Roman Catholic cathedral, &c. We learn that the deposit money only has been paid, and that the noble Marquis who, through his ernmissary, M. Capel, was instru- mental in the matter, hesitates to carry the project ouf, while there does not appear sufficient spirit in the Roman Catholic community to do so.—Echo. THE EXPLOSION OX BOARD THE ROTTERDAM.— An explosion of a boiler occurred a few days since on board the steamship Rotterdam, belonging to the Great Eastern Railway Company, while "the vessel was lying at Lowestoft. The fireman died soon afterwards from the injuries which'he received, and an inquest was held last week upon his bodv when the facts of the case were fully gone into. On Friday another death was Announced in connection with the explosion, Robert Graham, the Engineer, having succumbed from the injuries which he had received. The poor fellow had been lying for some timd in Lowcstoft Infirmary, and on Friday he be. came delirious and died. It has not been deemed necessary to re-open the inquiry into the causes 01 the sad occurrence. A DOCTOR C'IIAKGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT ANL FORGERY.—Before the Richmond Bench 013. Monday morning, Francis llorne Scaife, a surgeon, was charged on a warrant with embezzlmg.£i) 13s. Gel., and a cheque for £7 10s. 6d., the moneys of the firm of William Anderson, M.D.. and Richard Hassall, M.D., of Richmond. The prisoner was recently in the emplovinant of Drs. Anderson and Hassall as assistant, and he was authorised to receive moneys due to his employers. According to the evidence of Dr. Anderson he had received several sums, includ- ing the two sums in question, and had not ac- counted for them. The prisoner was apprehended at Liverpool, and on him was found (in addition to a cheque for £7 10s. 6d., which Dr. Anderson iden- tified as having been paid to him by Mr. Knight, of Richmond), two forged cheques on the Burton-on- Trent Bank—one for £323 7s., and the other for £:280-both purporting to be signed by Dr. Ander- son, and payable to the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded, and at his next examination he will be also charged with having forged cheques in his possession. Mr. James Gray, tea merchant. Carnoustie, near 1 Dundee, was drowned on Saturday while bathing on the beach. M. Gustave Flonrena' friends say the telegram reporting his arrival at Athens is untrue, and that he is still in England. A full-grown partridge cock flew into a shop in Regent street, London, the other day, about ten o'clock in the forenoon. The climate of Madrid is described by a survivor in an American journal as nine months Greenland and three months Tophet. By way of memorial to the late Bishop of Exeter, it is proposed to add a tower to St. Mary's Church in the cathedral city of the diocese. Herr Oberthur, the accomplished harpist, has re- turned to London, after fulfilling engagements at the Philharmonic and other concerts in Dublin. The West-end tailors are heavy creditors of Lord Courtenay—Smalpage and Son for over £1,000, and Benjamin for upwards of .£3,000.-Cosmopolitan. In St. Petersburg, a Russian lady, Madame Sn- loff, practises as a physician with great success, ai;d has obtained a large number of female patients. Admiral Bennett died on Saturday morning, in his 86th year. Mr. Sholto Vere Hare will be the Conservative candidate for Bristol. John Bull hears that there is every probability of I the Marquis of Bute returning to the Anglican Church. Another statue has been added to the collection in Westminster Abbey, being that by Mr. Jackson, which represents Lord Palmerston in his robes of the Garter; this has been placed on the grave of the minister. THE MARQUIS OF BUTE.—The John Bull hears that there is every probability of the Marquis of Bute returning to the Anglican Church. Doubtless this statement will be received, as was his secession to Rome, with indignant denials, but information m both cases is from the same quarter. By a codicil in his will, dated seven days before his death, Mr. Dickens bequeaths the whole of his interest in All the Year Round" to his acting edi- tor and eldest son, coupling the bequest with such private instructions as would, he believed, ensure the character and merit of the periodical remaining unchanged after he was gone. Her Majesty has ordered that Cecil Ralph Howard, Esq., Caroline Louisa Mary Howard, Louisa Frances Howard, and Alice Mary Howard, spinsters, brother and sisters of Charles Francis Arnold, now Earl of Wicklow, shall enjoy the same title and precedence as if their late father, the Hon. Francis Howard, vicar of Swords, had survived his brother William, fourth Earl of Wicklow, and had therebysucceeded to the title and dignity of Earl of Wicklow. THE EDUCATION BILL.—Mr. Richard, M.P. for Merthyr, has given notice of the following impor- tant amendment on the Education Bill:—"That without desiring to interfere with the continued receipt of grants by existing schools, subject to an efficient conscience clause, this House is of opinion that in any national system of elementary educa- tion, the religious teaching should be supplied by voluntary effort and not out of public funds. EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—We understand a summons has been taken out at Vice-Chancellor James's Chambers for the appointment of a special examiner in the European Assurance Society. A petition for winding up has been presented in the same court. The following counsel are retained: Mr. Amphlett, Q.C., Mr. Kay, Q.C., M. Eddis, Q.C., Mr. Napier Higgins, and Mr. Xindley, -for the petitioner. the application will be opposed by Sir Roundell, Palmer, Mr. Glasse, Q.C., Mr. Jessel, Q.C., Mr. Fry, Q.C., and Mr. Millar on behalf of the directors. THE SEYMOUR CHARUTES.—The case of Wallace v. The Attorney General was in the Rolls Chambers on Saturday. The matter was before the Chief Clerk, on the distribution to various London chari- ties under the will of Lord Henry Seymour, who died at Paris, where he kept a stud of racehorses. The Chief Clerk signed the order to pay each of the London charities, 85 in number, under the denom- ination of "Hospices de Londres," £82 in addition to £400 already paid to them, and upwards of £10,000 will be further distributed, makings it is expected, nearly £700 to each. A similar amount will be paid to the charities of Paris. THE TELEGRAPHIC CONSTRUCTION, &C. COM- PANY.—In Vice-Chancellor James's Court, on Sat- urday, Mr. Wickens appeared in support of a peti- tion of this company, praying for liberty to reduce its capital from £750,000 to .-£450,000. He said the company was a thriving one, and did not require so large a capital as .£750,000. The creditors of this company had assented to the proposed reduction of capital. The Court would probably think that the company should be allowed, at the expiratioai of a very short period, to remove the words H and re- duced" from its title. The Vice Chancellor granted an order permitting the proposed reduction of capi- tal, and allowing the proposed alterations in the title at the end of a fortnight. ACTION FOR LIBEL.—Dr. Edmunds, a member of the late Board of Guardians for St. Pancras, on Friday, sued a licensed victualler in the Court of Common Pleas for libel. The cause of action lay i.i the alleged exhibition of a placard headed "Chromed of the City which is called St. Pancras," and in which some of the deeds of the late board were dealt with iff a St-rain « £ mock solemnity. It wound up with the declaration that all the people of the city were stirred to indignation against Harley, a.nd spoke scornfully of Collins, which is called Job, and of Watkins, surnamed the carpet beater, and of Edmunds, the apothecary." The defendant denied that he had either posted the placard, or caused it to be posted, aind the jury found in his favour. CLOSE OF A PROTRACTfED LITIGATION. — Lord Justice Giffard gave judgment on Saturday on a petition presented on beluilf of a ladynamed Char- l )tte Grylls, a lunatic, and. one of the co-heiresses of Mr. Humphrey -Millet Gryftls, who died in 1834. He left an annuity to his widow, and shortly after she died a series of litigations commenced between per- sons who had been in the "banking firm of the de- ceased, and claimed to be creditors to a consider- able amount. They wished his estate applied to the liquidation of their claims. The two sisters of the lunatic a.lso instituted legal proceedings, and suits in connection with the case had been pending for several years. They had now come 1';0 an ar- rangement to stay all furtJaer proceedings, and to that course the sanction of the Court was given. COM MUNICATION BETWEEN PASSENGER AN NG R AH D —A clever invention to supply an easy communica- tion between passenger aDld guard has been intro- duced by Mr. John Bowrali, a guard on the London. Brighton, and South Coaist Railway, and certainly deserves the attention of the various companies. The apparatus consists of a zinc box, of an oblong form, designed to fit the top of a railway carriage like the ordinary lamp. A wire passes through the box, along the tops of the carriages, one end being in communication with the guard's van, and the other with the engine. At the bottom of the box is a wooden knob, resembling the handle of a door, and this is attached to a wire communicating with a crank in the box. The crank works easily and surely on a small round disk, painted red. When the knob is pulled a spring is released, and the disc turns and thus indicates the compartment from which the signal is made the wire, when pulled, loudly rings the bell in the guard's van. The sig- nal can be so arranged as to insure immediate com- munication with the engine driver. After an alarm has been given, the apparatus is again ready for use. The guard can throw the signal out of gear at pleasure, to prevent unnecessary use by foolish or vicious persons. The invention is simple, cheap, and effective. SHOCKING ATTEMPT TO MURDEII A HUSBAND AND SON.—Sarah Clark was, at the Thames Police court on Friday, charged with scabbing her husband and son, with intent to murde r. The wounded men are in the London Hospital, hoth of them—especially the husband—in a very pirecarious state. Catherine Harvey stated that the prisoner, her husband, and son lived in the same hou se as the witness, 3, Morris street, St. George's-in-the-Elast. On Thursday night witness heard the prisoner Æweanng loudly in the 'house, as if scolding some etne; and this was followed by the breaking of crockery "ware. Soon after she heard some one say, My n ather is stabbed—he is murdered; and then the saime voice cried out, "Oh, mother, you have stabbed 1 ae. Show me a light." Witness left her room, and saw Mr. Clark stagger- ing down stairs with a frightful wound in his breast, She laid him down bleeding r and moaning and ran back. She met the priso ner's son coming down bleeding from a wound in t he thigh. He said, My mother has stabbed my fat! icr. I went to save him and she stabbed me." The: prisoner said she did. and she would stab any on< > else who came near to her. She was drunk and ii 1 a furious temper. The witness'found the knife ] produced concealed in [a chimney the next morning;.—Inspector Rouse said that when the wounded a ten were brought to the station they made stateme mts which he took down in writing. Henry Clark* s statement was to the effect that his wife came h ome at twelve o'clock at night; she was very drunl r, and was blackguarding every one in the house. 'He was frying to escape when his wife drove the k:nife into his breast up to the handle. He had na words with her. She had frequently threatened stab him. Her son, who was lying on a stretche r, made the following state- ment :—"About half fin hour ago I w'as at home, and got out of bed wh en I saw my mother stab my father, I called out mrfrder, and my mother stabbed me with a penknife frfter she stabbed my father. She knocked the tab le over, and broke the things, and was very desperate. It was dark. My mother was three parts drunk." Mr. Rouse then stated that after the wouulded persons were attended by a medical man he sent them to the London Hospital in a cab. When he read the statements the pri- soner said, He h;*s beea with his women there were plenty in the hotute."—Dr. John Kiernan stated that the wound in the breast of the wounded man penetrated two inchest of the lung tissues. He was afraid it would prove fhtal. The wound in the young man's thigh wag an iachxieep.—The prisoner was remanded f e a • Mrs. O'Donovan Rossa has written a long letter to the Irishman, giving an account of a Visit to Chat- ham Prison, and complaining that she was not illowed to speak to her husband about his treat ment in the gaol. English, managers may take a hint from'Hhe Royal Opera, Berlin, where a tuning room has been provided far away from the audience, who will no longer be offended by the charivari in which orches tral players indulge. The floutist Remusat is still at Shanghai, perse- vering in his bold endeavour to accustom Chinese ears to European music. The last concert of the Philharmonic Society, conducted by him, is reported to have been a success. Poor Mr. Buckle will no longer lie alone in his grave at Damascus. The late Countess Teleki, daughter of Lord Langdale, who died there, and was an admirer of the historian, directed that she should be buried near him. M. L.Gallait has been entrusted with the decora- tions of the Salle du Christ, in the Hotel de Ville at Brussels, so famous in history, and M. F. Pauwells has been chosen to finish the pictures which M. de Groux left incomnlete at Yores. On Saturday morning what was thought to be the body of one of the three young men drowned off Ryde on Friday night by the capsizing of a boat was raised nearly to the surface of the water, but lost again through the breaking of the drag. THE STEAMSHIP GREAT BRITAIN.—This well- known Australian steam clipper has made another of her extraordinary passages from the Mersey to Australia. The Great Britain under the command of Captain Gray, left Liverpool for Melbourne on theJ Dth'of March last,and on Monday Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Liverpool, received intelligence that the ship had arrived at her destination on the lith May, after a rapid passage of fifty-six days— one of the fastest runs on record. The Times, referring to a well-known custom on the S lock Exchange, says,—Whilst complaints are made of the license allowed to roughs in the streets of London, it is necessary to point out that they can plead respectable authority. On Saturday an enjineut foreign banker, having been taken to see the Stock Exchange by one of its oldest and most respectable members, was immediately, without a word of warning, mobbed and hustled and violently ejected. The Committee, it is understood, can be furnished with all the particulars of the affair, and it will be interesting to the public to ascertain if that body are prepared by their approval to confirm this specimen of our national manners. BURGLARY BY A STEPSON.—At the Brentford Petty Sessions, on Saturday, Henry Webster, 26, a labourer, was charged on remand with breaking into the house of George Hubbard, also a labourer, living at Hanwell, and stealing a silver watch, chain, and other articles. The prisoner was arrested at a pawnbroker's shop in Old Brentford, with the watch and chain and a silk handkerchief in his possession, on the evening of the 3rd June. They were identi- fied by the prosecutor, who said that on that day his house had been broken into and the articles taken away. The prosecutor's wife was called, and, in answer to the chairman, said, crying, that the prisoner was her son, and the stepson of her husband. The latter said that he did not wish to press the charge; but, a former conviction having been proved atrainst the prisoner, who pleaded guilty, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SURGEON.—At the Thames Police Court, on Saturday, William Harding-, 59, a retired surgeon, was charged on re- mand, for the third time, with cau-ing the death of a married woman, named Elizabeth Tason.—Mr. Wontner, jun., conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Treasury; Mr. Metcalfe defended the priso- ner.—The deceased woman was an actress at the Alhambra Theatre, Shoreditch, passing under the name of St. George. She was enceinte and consulted the prisoner for an unlawful purpose; and' the theory of the prosecution was that he had feloni- ously adopted means which brought about a pre- mature delivery on the 30th ult., from the effects of which the unfortunate woman died the same day. The deceased recognized the prisoner when she was dying, took his hand in her own, and placed it on her bosom. The prisoner then said to the persons attending on the dying woman that they had sent for him too late, and that he ought to have been summoned earlier.—Mr. Metcalfe submitted that there was no evidence against the prisoner, except that he had been sent for when it was too late to do the woman any good.—The prisoner was again remanded. THE DERBY MEMORIAL FUND. — The Grocers' Company has signified its intention to subscribe the sum of £100 to the fund now being raised for erect- ing a statue to the memory of the late Lord Derby. A general meeting of the subscribers to the Derby Memorial in the former Parliamentary division of North Lancashire was held on Saturday at the Bull Hotel, Preston, Mr. R. T. Parker in the chair. From the statement made it appeared that, up to the present time, there were 395 subscribers to the fund. The amount promised was £1,360 3s, the amount actually received £ 1,183 14s Id. The chair- man said he had received a communication from the Duke of Devonshire, consenting to act on the committee. He also stated that he had seen Mr. Foley, the sculptor, who informed him that the cost of a statue would be about £1,200. It was resolved unanimously, on the motion of Colonel Greens, seconded by Mr. Hornby, That this meeting adopts the recommendation of the general committee that the testimonial take the form of a statue." It was also resolved, "That this meeting approved of the statue being placed either in Lancaster or Preston, as may be determined by the general committee, who, after receiving the report of a statue committee, are em- powered to consult with the authorities and the sculptor. CHARGE AGAINST A SOLICITOR.—At the Maryle- bone Police Court on Saturday, Robert Willis, so- licitor, was charged with stealing £11, the "property of a client, Mr. Thomas George Wilbean. The pro- secutor was defendant in a county court suit in which a person named Seth was plaintiff for £20. He gave the prisoner .£11 in gold, for which he ob- tained a receipt, instructing him to induce Mr. Seth to accept this sum as a settlement of his claim. Three days afterwards prosecutor received a letter from the prisoner stating that he had called upon Mr. Seth, who had refused to accept the money. On the 5th June the prisoner wrote to express his regret with which he heard of an execution having been put in Mr. Welbean's house, and remarking that it would have been better for the prosecutor to have carried out an arrangement previously suggested by prisoner, who had offered to obtain a loan of £150. in order to enable prosecutor to pay all parties hav- having claims against him. The prisoner, referring to some remark made by Mrs. Wilbean, wrote, She states she is astounded to find I have not paid Mr. Seth. I should like to know how I could have done this unless he accepted the offer. Such a supposi- tion is simply ridiculous, as is also the idea that 16s 6d was to be my charge for all that I have done. You must know better. The best plan will be to send you my account, so that you may see what I have done for you. Please write to me in the mean- time to 36, Leicester-square, if you wish to raise the .£150; this is, in my opinion, the only way to get out of your difficulties." Mr. Seth said the prisoner called upon him and asked him to accept part pay- ment. Witness said, "No, I will have all or none." The defendant did not show witness the £11, nor did he say he was prepared to offer this sum. If he had done so, the witness added he would have ac- cepted the money.—The defendant now asserted that he did specifically offer the witness the "eleven sovereigns, and declared that he could bring wit- nesses to prove the truth of this assertion. Upon his request, the Magistrate adjourned the case for a week, consenting to accept the defendant's own recognisances for his reappearance in the sum of .£20. THE CHILD MURDER AT CROYDON.—On Saturday Mary Ann Knight, a young woman about 18 years of age, was brought before the Croydon magistrates charged with having concealed the birth and wil- fully murdered her child. The prisoner, who is a good-looking, respectably-dressed girl, appeared in a. weakly condition, and during the examination she fainted several times. In consequence of her dan- gerous condition the case was abruptly stopped on the examination of one or two witnesses. The pri- soner was defended by Mr. Parry, solicitor. In- spector Conway explained that on the 30th ult. an inquest was held touching the death of a newly- born female child, whose body had been found on the previous day near Crohamhurst, Croydon. There were several cords tied tightly round its neck, and in consequence of the evidence of Dr. Horsley, the jury returned an open verdict of wilful murder against some person unknown. Detective Quigley deposed that he and another detective named Pan- ther, apprehended the prisoner at her mother's re- sidence, at Green's-cottages, Lower Norwood, on Friday, the 3rd inst. He charged the prisoner (who was ill at the time) with the concealment of the birth at Mr. Horniman's lodge, kept, by her grand- father, in Coombe lane, Croydon, and also with the wilful murder of her child. In reply, the prisoner said that she had never had a child, and had been suffering from dropsy and an abscess in her side, Witness then took her to the police station,' and subsequently to the Croydon Infirmary. Whilst he was bringing her from the infirmary that (Saturday) morning, she further voluntarily said, :f I'll tell you all about it, I was confined on Friday night between eleven and twelve o'clock, and I wrapped it up in a newspaper and put it in the cellar. I took it out on the Saturday night, when my grandfather was out, and threw it over the fence into Mr. Hoffman's plantation, and no person knew anything about it but myself." Dr. L. Peacan was giving evidence in respect to an examination he had made of the pri- soner, at the request of her mother, prior to the day on which the accused was alleged to have been con- fined; but he was interrupted by the shrieks of the prisoner, who swooned and remained unconscious for some time. bench expressed their unwil- lingness to go any further in the case then, and consequently ordered the prisoner to be removed to Horsemonger-lane House of Detention, to be re- called, if her health woul<Lp«rmit, on jSatuxfiay.

THE MEN IN WOMEN'S CLOTHES. Shortly after Mr. Flowers had taken his seat at the Bow-street police-court, London, on Saturday morning, Mr. Abrahams, from the office of Mr. Gcatley, solicitor, made an application to the court on behalf of Louis Hurt, against whom a wan-ant had been granted by Mr. Justice Blackburn, in connection with the trial of Boulton and Park. The grand jury had, the solicitor said, found true bills against his client and other persons, and some of them had since been arrested. Mr. Hurt wao quite prepared to surrender upon the understand- ing that he would be entitled to bail.—Mr. Flowors could not quite see how he could entertain the ap- plication to bail a person who was not before him, or. as far as he knew, even in custody on any charge whatever.—Mr. Abrahams said he would surrender in the course of the day, and would probably be taken to Newgate.—Mr. Flowers asked if the ap- plication to bail had been approved or opposed by the Attorney-General on behalf of the Crown.—Mr. Abrahams said the Attorney-General had given his consent to bail being taken.—Mr. Flowers thought in that case he might be in a condition to deal with the application; and Mr. Abrahams would renew it when his client was actually in custody.—iLr. Abrahams said his client would surrender at once, and he would renew his application on Monday.— Later in the day Mr. Hart and Mr. John Sanord Fisk were placed in the dock, and identified by Superintendent Thomson as the persons against whom warrants had been issued. Mr. Will, on be- half of Fisk, asked that his client should be ad- mitted to bail, and was proceeding to complain of the harsh course adopted by the Crown towards Mr. Fisk, when he was interrupted by Mr. Flowers, who said he could not go into any matter of that kind: and as to the question of báil, he could not interfere after what had been said by the learned judge. The matter must be entirely left with the judges. Mr. Abrahams made a similar application on behalf of Hurt, but Mr. Flowers repeated his lb- termination to leave the question of ball to the judges. The prisoners were then committed for trial. The name of W. S. Cumming, who is in this case put on his trial for misdemeanour, has been given inaccurately. It should have been Martin Luther Cumming. This case (says a London correspon- dent) is now entering upon a very unexpected and discreditable phase of its character. Numerous a3 have been the summonses that have been issued, it is now said that the proceedings will not stop short at them, but that a great many more persons will either directly or indirectly be implicated in the scandal. What is perhaps still more to be deplored is the fact that most of the persons move in the upper circles, and that attempts will be made to have the matter hushed up. Indeed, it is said that considerable pressure has been already brought to bear upon the Home Office, in order to prevent fur- ther revelations. This, however, has been happily resisted, Government being resolved to sift the whole case to the bottom. Stories that are some- thing more than rumours are flying about, but as they would all bring more or less discredit upon in- nocent relatives who occupy high positions in so- ciety, discretion is best shown by drawing the veil. The Observer says it would seem that the prosecu- tion have all along entertained considerable doubts whether the charge of felony can be sustained against any of the defendants, and it is not at all improbable that when the case comes on for trial the only charge that will be proceeded with will be t he offence of misdemeanour at common law, which in;nutes to the defendants Park and Boulton, and rM t;:e ober parties against whom true bills have t. on returned, that they unlawfully conspired to- • her to dre-s themselves as women and to fre- ,ent various public places, and induced men to hy and play with them as such, and had thereby out- lvged uublic morals and decency. If convicted of tiiis offence the prisoners can only be sentenced to imprisonment; but if convicted upon any of the other crimes, which allege that the prisoners con- spired together to induce persons to commit un- natural offences, they would be liable to be sen- tenced to penal servitude for seven years.
