THE ROAD MURDER. I k newspaper correspondent saysThe readers of your reports will remember that Mrs. Kent and Mr. Parsons both volunteered to make statements in connection with the case, which the Bench declined to receive. We have been p,.t in possession of the substance of those state- i.?.te, and think we are justified in giving them pub* licity. Mrs. Eent, with the view of clearing her hM- banI, <etir<d to state that M ?he had passed a most restless and uneasy night, she was prepared solemnly to assert that Mr. Kent could not by any possibility have left his bedroom during the night. It would be useless to conceal that the manner in which Mr. Kent gave his evidence has produced an unfavourable impression on the public mind here as elsewhere; and the act of locking up the policemen in the kitchen is not yet fully explained or understood. We have it from the best authority that Mr. Kent could have accounted very simply for this cir- cumstance, which at first sight appears so suspicious. The explanation is, we believe, the following:—Mr. Superin- tendent Foley, thinking it not unlikely that an attempt would be made on Saturday night to burn 80mething, desired Mr. Kent to place tho two oflicers in the kitchen, were only a fire was. The superintendent advised that everything should be yhccd in its usual position so as not to arouse suspicion. Therefore, as every one in the house knew that Mr. Kent was nightly in the habit of lockingthe kitchen door, he, having Mr. Folov's instructions in his mind, secun d the door as usual. This we believe, is the true and simp:e explanation of the motive which actuated Mr. Kent m'locking hi the oStcer?. Mr. Parsons' state- ment had also reference to Mr. Kent. On Tuesday evening, on his return lunne from Mr. Kent was so indisposed that it was deemed advisable to call in JIr. Parsons, who attended. From this visit Air. Parsons was of opinion that Mr. Kent was scarcely in a state in which much reliance could be placed on his statements, us, men- blly and physically he had recehed a shock which had C.t prostrate.1 him. alT;: D:e.i:, The nur'emaid, who has jUqt been discharged, is a respectable and wdl.conJneteù young woman.

It has also been stated by Elizabeth Spark3, a y<>un^ woman who lived as nursemaid in the family aboat twelve months since, that on one occasion when tlier.* were only two mem- bers of the family at heme, the little boy, who has sinco been murdered, was found in his cot with the bed clothes turned back carefully, and some woollen socks and tlauml in which he was put to bed, he being unwell on the pre- vious night, wcro taken oil', one of the sockg being found in the morning on the table in the bedroom, and the other in the cour?(? of the following day A[..

ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR LEEDS. On Monday morning, a determined attempt at murder was made at Now Wortley, near Leeds, by a fire-brick maker, named John Kenworthy, upon a grocer residing in the same township, named Stephen Lupton. The latter was savagely cut about the head with a "chopper" or hatchet, aud he was in such a dangerous position that his deposition was taken. Lnpton's declaration was to the 1,,Il?wi??g en?ct:'L?i live at 29, Holdiorth-street, New Wortley, in a house by myself. The prisoner's wife cleans for me, and she was at my house last Saturday evening. On that night the prisoner came to see his wife, and they were bo.t ..i??ute or two in conversation. About five minutes past five o'clock this (Monday) morning, I was awoke by a knocking at the outer door. I looked out, and then saw the prisoner. He said he wanted some castor oil. I opened the door, and then asked him if his wife was poorly, and he replied that the castor oil was for a woman up the street. I gave him the oil, and he then asked for two ounces of mint lozenges. He asked for several other articles, and while I was reckoning up the amount of the whole, standing with my back towards him, he struck me a violent blow on the back of the head. I did not see with what he struck me, but I was knocked down. l'risoner struck me a second time on the head as I was on the floor, but did not speak to me. I managed to get on my legs again, and got hold of the prisoner, and we scuffled together for some time, he at times being at the top, and I at other times. I felt myself bleeding from the head whilst this scuttling was going on. Prisoner next got me to the bottom of the steps leading upstairs, and he there bit my nose savagely, and I then bit his thumb or linger. After this, I managed to creep into the shop on my hands and knees, and during that time I heard the pri- soner going upstairs, and I afterwardi heard him knocking about in my bedroom over the shop. I tried to open the door of the shop, but I could not; but in so trying I shook the bell, and it made a noise, and I theu managed to get out of the shop, down some steps into the warehouse; and to the warehouse door. I next opened the door, which led into the street, and I thus got into the street. I then found that I was coverClI allover with blood, and I cried out blurderl" and several persons came up. lIIrs. Hor- ner said she had seen a man go out of the house. In my bedroom there is a chest of drawers, and a washstand with two drawers. My money was in my pocket. Under the chair on which I had placed the goods whilst I reckoned up their value was found a hatchet, or chopper.' I don't know to whom it belongs." The declaration having been duly signed, Kenworthy was taken to Leeds, where he was subsequently charged with the murderous assault upon lIIr. Lupton. It was then stated that Mr, Lupton's skull had been fractured in two places, the in j uries having been evidently '?.fl*??t?d by some l:le;};:t W¿r ,t\nql¡ li"t\tbh:a: lying in a very dangerous position, the cuts being of such a character as to render it a matter of wonder that he was not killed on the spot. It was also shown that the drawers in 1\f.. Litnttm's bedroom had been rummaged, but whether ;ýtiili;ghd beeu taken away by the prisoner had not yet leen ascertained. The prisoner, when apprehended, was found to be suffering from a recent wound on his right thumb, which looked as if it had been caused by a bite. He was remanded.-Kenworthy had been in embarrassed circumstances for some time, owing to numerous plaints issued against him from the County Court, and it is sup. posed that he contemplated the robbery of Mr. Lupton as a means of relief. His murderous attack had evidently betn premeditated, for he bad made arrangements to leave his residence, and was actually engaged in preparing his furniture, &c., for removal when taken into custody by the police. The straggle between Mr. Lupton and the prisoner -after the former had been struck twice on the head with the batchet-would appear to have been protracted and severe. Mr. Lupton's arms, hands, and face are cut in several places, and it is the impression of the police that a knife or some other sharp weapon must have been used to produce these injuries. Mr. Lupton, after receiving the fearful gashes from the a chopper," appears to have crept on his hands and knees to the shop door, which he was un- able to open, but which is staiued with his blood in the immediate vicinage of the bell. He subsequently crawled back to the house passage, descended the steps leading into his warehouse, passed through that portion of the building, and emerged into the street by his warehouse door.

The house was like a slaughter-house. Pools of blood marked the scene of tho struggle in the house, and also indicated the track taken by Mr. Lupton in his endeavours to escape his murderous assailant. Kenworthy appears to have re- turned to his house, and there changed his clothes. He next sent his wife to pawn his best clothes, and these, which are now in the possession of the police, are more or less marked with blood, as is also Kenworthy's hat.

I GENERAL NEWS. I An effort is now being made to establish a veterinary eob lege in Dublin. Lord John Russell was indisposed, at Coburg, for some days, but is now completely recovered. Hr. James Stewart, some time M.P. for Honiton, and formely secretary to the Copyhold Commission, died a few days smce at the age of 55. It is stated that Lady Panmure has given orders to a firm in London immediately to forward to Messina and Naples a large quantity of quinine, for the use of the patients in the hospitals of those cities. It is stated, on semi-official authority, that Sir W. T. Denison, the present Governor of New South Wales, will in all probability be appointed to the vacant governorship of Madras. With regard to the other high Indian office vacant-that held by the late Mr. James Wilson-it is as- serted by the Wick organ of Mr, Laing, the Secretary to the Treasury, that that gentleman has been offered, but has declined, the appointment. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT A LAUNCH.—A sad accident happened at the launch of a vessel from the yard of Mr. G. Blumer, shipbuilder, Hartlepool, a few divy ago. As usual, a number of persons were on board at the time, and amongst teem a lad named Martin Harvey, a native of Gosport, who had left another vessel to join this new one. The hunching ways were short and curved in the centre, and after passing them the vessel gained a great impetus. and dashed through the water with great speed, the check chains and ropes flving out very quickly. One of the rope. appears to have h kinked, and the lad, who was standing near it, was caught by the foot violently dragged al, the deck, and carried over the tatfVail into the water. Several boats soon put off, the lad meal time swimming most m,mrully. He was just on the point of sinking when securcd. aud then it was discovered that his foot was cut off, udUering to the leg only by two or three inches oi the skin. He is now in a fair way of recovery.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF POISONING IN WEaT SUFFOLK.—An inquest, which has been pending for some time in liury St. Edmunds, in reference to the death of a lad, named Robert Murton, in the employment of Mr. C. Nunn, of Fornham-street, Genevieve, Suffolk, was resumed on the 5th inst. The deceased lad was a shepherd's page, and lodged with James Curtis, all ther farm labourer (also in the employment of Mr. Nunn), who lived in part of a double tenement on the farm premises, the other part being occupied by Edward Hawkins, hrm bailiff. On the 7th ult. the boy returned from his work apparently in good health, and ate some pudding for supper. An hour after. wards he was attacked with vomiting and purging, and early the following morning he died. Several f.?l. which ate matter vomited by decease d also died, and in the b.y'. stomach, as well in the remainder of the pud- ding, arsenic was found. M,.?. Curt i s, who made the pudding of which :1ndcea::2'pat.: IO eain I and, i., addition to the statements made at the previous sittings, said'.—Hawkins asked me to lend him some flour on the Saturday morning after deceased died, as he was going to have two friends come on the Sunday. I said, u You can undo the sack yourself, and take out what you want. He did so. On the next day (Sunday) I used some of the same flour, and made it into light dumplings, which were eaten by myself and my husband; and we were both taken ill directly after partaking of them. I vomited all my dinner before I had cleared the things away. The dumplings we ate were not coc ked in the sauce- pan used for the deceased. On the Tuesday following I made some bread from the same flour, and on the follow- ing day, Wednesday, I went to Mrs. Hawkins, who was very ill. On my asking her what was the matter, she said she did not know, but she had been very ill and sick. I a-ked her what was the cause, and ,b replied, Surely that poor lad never put anything in your flow ?" said, Oh, dear, no-1 shon:d think not." She then said, "I have eaten a little piece of bread made of the flour we had of you." On this I said, "W eU, if you have any doubt of the flour let me have it again, and "be sure not to use any more of it." I took it on Thursday, after the la,t inquest. It had not been taken out of the tin, In consequence of what bIn. Hawkins told me, I began to feel uncomfortable, and did not use any of the bread I made on the Tuesday. I cut a small piece out of a cake and put it in some milk, and the cats ate some, but they had not eaten much before they all vomited. I did this on the Wednesday, but said nothing about it. We did not think at first that there was any- thing wrong in the flour, but believed that our stomachs were weak and could not bear food. I cannot give any reason for not speaking about it before, but it is the truth, On the 7th of September, I came home to dinner because I was going to have "fresh gleaning in the afternoon. I don't believe that there is any ill-feeling towards us on the part of any person, but there have been words between my husband and Hawkins about his work. A good deal of evidence of minor importance was adduced, and the inquiry was again adjourned for three weeks. DARING ESCAPE OF THREE PRISONERS FROM HULL GAOL.—On Friday night, or early on Saturday morning, Oct. 6th, three prisoners, who were awaiting their trial at the sessions, very cleverly effected their escape from the Hull Borough Gaol. Their names are Robert Kershaw, William Henry Gilson, and George Smith. Kershaw is 22 years of age, and was in custody for uttering base coin Smith is 21 years of age, and was similarly charged; and Gilson, who is 1\1 years of age, and by trade a butcher, was charged with breaking into a slaughter-house and stealing a quantity of tallow. During the night they were confined in a large room in the sessions ward of the prison, with another man named Clarke, also in custody for stealing tallow. The room is one storey high, and not being used for felons it was not so strongly guarded as the cells in the other parts of the gaol. Since the escape of the convict Foster, a few months ago, the Governor (Captain Neill) has had the windows of the sessions ward cells made more secure by the addition of three crossbars to the windows. This judicious step, however, does not appear to have at all disheartened the three prisoners, whose escape we are now narrating. By some means or other they became possessed of a pocket-knife used in that part of the prison where mats are manufactured. This knife miiat have been nassed from one prisoner to another until it reached one of the three who escaped. This knife they converted into a kind of saw, or file, and they suc- ceeded in cutting through a perpendicular bar about one inch in diameter. They also eut through one of the cross bars, which is about an inch thick. In order to prevent discovery during the progress of the saw, the aperture made iu the bar was carefully filled up with moistened bread and soot. The inspector of the prison, we are informed, examined the bars of this particular cell a day-or two ago, and be was then unable to see anything to excite his sus- picion. On Friday night the four prisoners were locked up in the room, and no doubt very shortly after the turn- key had gone his round the operations of the night were commenced. After the bus had been cut through, the three Us, by te:nt::J;:y bffrtUpUlo\: wr?ched' the bars from their sockets. The aperture thus made for their egress was about Ili inches by 9i inches. The prisoners seem to have possessed themselves of bits of rope, which they had purloined from various parts of the prison, and by cutting up the bed rug they had a long rope at their disposal. While thii rope was in course of preparation it must, in order to elude the vigilance of the prison officials, have been secreted in tho mattress or up the chimney. The sash weight of the window had been taken away, and was affixed to the bottom of the rope. With the aid of the rope the three prisoners managed to descend into the yard, leaving the fourth occupant of the cell (the man Clarke) still in his bed. Upon getting into the prison yard they were still faced by the boundary wall, which is 27ft. in height. The place chosen for the escape into the street was near a coal heap, which gives an eleva- tion of several feet from the ground. tJhif,sbfete%; have got a pole from some part of the gwl, wbi(!. ,t they reared against the wall, and the distance to ascend to the top of the wall was comparatively little. Once upon the top of the wall, the descent was easy, and one prisoner ?dely over, would no doubt lend a helping hand to his companions. The prisoners, after having scaled the boun- dary wall, got over a second one 9ft. high, and they were then clear of. the gaol, and in Manor House-street. The escape was discovered by the turnkey about half-past five o clock on Saturday morning. At that time Clarke was in bed, and he most positively denied any knowledge of what had taken place, in the afternoon Gibson was recaptured. rrm> xxa fa ió'liÍl1îef1Ýe&b êJåh and twenty-flve.

The New Gazette of Munich states that the nuncio in that ftty has sent to Rome 235,616 florins collected in Bavaria. A number of photographs has arrived in London, by the Ceylon, from Japan. They are composed of scenes in Japan, and represent Japanese manners and customs. At the County Magistrates' Court, Liverpool, on Satur- day, John Thomas icliardsc?n, who, it was alleged, had stolen upwards o( 91,600 in not? and gold, from the home of 4Jr. Moore, Old Swan, near Liverpool, was discharged. A special probate of the will of Baron De.is M..e. Samuel, a Baron of the ? kingdom of Portugal, residing at 26, Sussex-place, Wg?.t'??p.rk, London, was granted on 'e' ? l??lh September, by the London Court of Probate to Baroness Amelia de Samuel, the widow. The personal property sworn to in this country was estimated at BOO OOOt. h ,,re also investments in forei g n securities in Greece, Turkey, Braail, and other kingdoms, besides East India- stock and landed estates. Lord Llanover has been going over the terrible scenes in Naples, with which Mr. Gladstone's famous letter has made ns so familiar. Availing himself of the opportunity af. forded by the new order of things, the noble Lord recently visited the great prisons to which the two Bombas, father and son, were in the habit of consigning their unhappy victims. The cells and dungeons were empty, and were thus shorn of many of the horrors which Mr. Gladstone pourtrayed with such sickening vividness; yet enough was seen to show the fearful charactwr of the despotism against which the people of the Two Sicilies have risen. On Sunday, another murder was buought to light in South Staffurdshire-tbe third within a few weeks. A youth named Westwood and some companions were out bunting rats in a ditch running through a wheat field at Suaiwerliill, near Coseley, when tlx-'y found the body of a female child, about three months old, partially hid in the sedges and mud of the ditch. A napkin, folded into a tri- angulsr shape, was placed ov *r tbe cl1ild's mouth and face, and the two eiids, after being carried behind the head, were [ brought round to the ihroat an I firmly fastened under the chin. The child would thus seem to have been suffocated, The police are investigating the affair.

It would appear that one of their number had some time ago trans- gressed a rule of the Iub under t,?h circumstances as to cause him to be cOlUwunicated with by the sccretary or committee; and that, as he did not oflbr any explanation, nor, it is said, even aeknowledge the communication, he was expelled. A few days ago, other oflicers of the regiment dined together in the club, bringing with them :=8 a guest their expelled comrade. This was in itself regarded asn ;t quite a decorous proceeding; but in addition the gallant 1 officers, it is said, proceeded after dinner to such pranks as piling the tables and chairs into the form of a grand pyra- mid, and uttering vocal sounds more loud than either melodious or intelligible. Each «f the persons so impli- cated received a letter from the committee, offering an opportunity fur explanation; but the letters were all re- turned a with thanks," some of them unopened. There- upon, the whole offenders were subjected to expulsion, and a statement of their conduct luid before the colonel of tile regiment and the Commander-in-Chief for Scotland.- &olslIlan. THE MULTIPLICATION OF PHOTOGRAPHS BY MACHINERY. -A highly interesting and singular paper was read before the American Photographic Society. on th,) 13th August, 160, and is reported in the Architects* Journal, of New York. By this paper it appeai-s that 12,000 photographs or stereo graphs an hour can now be produced from a single negative by means of condensed or focalized light and sim- ple machinery worked by a crank I A sliest of ordinary paper, sensitized, was exhibited, containing 300 of these -photographs. Mr. Charles Fontayne, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is the inventor of the process. The prepared or sensitized paper is simply passed in a continuous sheet, before the negative, in a box, where condensed light is made to pene- trate through the negative and impress its image upon the paper, hich it doe in '03 of second for each impression. The eondens?g lens is seven inches in diameter. Thu., as it is said, the illustrations for a book, having all the exquisite beauty and perfection of the photograph, may be turned out by the use of this machine with a rapidity wholly undreamed of either in plate-printing or lithography." The cost of engraving, also, will of course be dispensed with. All sorts of drawings, too, may be thus multiplied, as well as actual objects photographed or stereographed, in cheap and endless profusion. The Architects' Journal publishes a print thus produced from a rough sketch by the ordinary ammonio-nitrate process. THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S EAST.- On Sunday evening there was a fierce outbreak in the parish church of St. George's in-the-East, which seems to threaten that the disturbances which have so long prevailed there will never come to an end. The churchwardens, fearing that a riot might take place in consequence of the sentence of imprisonment passed on the dock-yard labourer (Rowe ), on the previous Thursday, determined on closing í:Ùeliesl:io¡hor:o:¡e cf:: in the body of the church. The prayers were read by the Rev. J. H. Hooper, who was constantly interrupted. At first the responses were bawled out by a large number of persons, whose evident determination was to drown the voices of the choristers in the organ-loft. In the second lesson the word" imprisonment" occurred; a loud laugh and shout followed its utterance, and the prayer for bishops and curates was received with coughing and derisive cheers. The hymnal in use in St. George's appears to be objection- able to the congregation, who endeavoured, by shouting and stamping of feet, to prevent Mr. Hooper being heard when giving out the hymns. The hymns were sung by the choir and parodied by the congregation; or rather by some 50 or 60 young men and women who had taken up their position in the north isle. The sermon waa preached by the Rev. J. C. Hansard. POST-OFJICE ROBBERIES AT MANCHESTER,—On Monday, at the Manchester Police-court, a young man named Charles Richard Lines, who has been a letter-carrier at the Post-office about one year and nine months, was charged with a series of robberies from letters entrusted to him for delivery.—From the evidence of Mr. John Lakey, an in. spector of letter-carriers at Manchester, it appeared that he had met the prisoner on Shudehill, and found in his pouch an open letter. The prisoner explained the circum- stance by stating that a man had picked it up the street and had given it to him. He followed him and found in his hand, amongst his letters, an envelope, bearing the London post mark. On taking it from him, he said, That belongs to the letter you saw in my pouch." Witness searched his coat pockets, but found nothing; and he directly took from his trousers pocket a gold ring and handed it to him. He said that a young woman had given it to him, but subse- quently witness said that he had taken it from a letter. Witness took him to the Post-office, and gave him into the custody of Inspector Taylor, of the detective department, who found in a box at the prisoner's residence the following articlesSix gold rings, one gold watch seal, a locket, two bracelets, three gold pencil cases, two gold ear-rings, ten ivory pencil cases, eleven small scent bottles, five pencil cases, one pearl-liafted knife, three gold guard chains, pocket books, one Bible, one Prayer-book, three £10 Bank of England notes, half of a £10 note, half of a t20 and two two halves of £5 notes. Prisoner acknowledged that the whole of them belonged to the Post-office.—Mr. Geo. Beaver Brown, of 2, Fargate, Sheffield, also gave evidence to the effect that on the 4th instant he enclosed a half of a £5 Bank of England note, 68631, dated London, 26th July, 1860, in an envelope addressed to Messrs. H. Turner and Co., 41, Piccadilly, Manchester, and posted the letter about a quarter to eleven the same morning. The envelope pro- duced was the same, and bore his seal.—Other thefts of a similar character having been proved, the prisoner, who made no answer to the several charges, was committed for trial at the assizes. THE WAKEFIELD POISONING CASE.—The inquest on the body of Miss Adamson, of Sandal Magna, kefi?ld, was brought to a close on Saturday. The Rev. Mr. Young, a Roman Catholic priest, read two letters which he had written at the request of the deceased when she was on her deathbed. The one was addressed to Mr. Golding, of Liverpool, asking him to send a remittance of £50, and requesting him, in the case of her death, to 86nd the balance of her money, which he held, to the Loughborough Reformatory. The second letter was addressed to Mrs. Thorp, Cheltenham, and contained a request respecting gomefamily arrangements. The mother of the girl, Emma Stringer, who has been committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder by the magistrates, deposed :—u On the noming of Miss A dmson's death I went to her house with It cart and a box containing clean clothes. Iocca. sionally washed for the deceased. The box in ques- tion contained clean clothes for my daughters, Emma and Mati^ia. Upon the day of deceased's death both my Bons were at her house, but I saw neither of them writing. Williim cannot write, but James can a little. I heard no conujents made respecting the property of the deceased. I sawia written paper lying on one. of the tables, which I threw into the fire upon learning from Emma that she had been frith it to the priest for his signature, which had been refused. I was never in any room the day when Mrs. BateFbn was requested to write her name on any document whatever. All that Went away in the cart was our own property."—Matilda Stringer, one of the sisters who were accused of aiding and a?otting in the capital charge, was next examined, but nothing particular was elicited, except the samissionthat she (the witness) drew up the document purporting to be a will of Miss Adamson's. It will be re- collected tgh t at a previous examination a witness named Hannah Bateson distinctly swore that one of the prisoner's brothers drew up the document.-James Stringer, the brother alluded to, was also examined, but he positively de. clared that he first saw the document in his sister Emma's hande. He did ask Bateson to sign it, but that was all.— Edward Hoyle, broker's assistant, proved removing all the goods from off the shelf in the kitchen the day before the sole tf Miss Adamson's effects, but he saw no packet of Any Irnd. This is the shelf on which a man named Illing- worth alleged that he found a packrt of arsenic on the first day of the sale.—The jury returned a verdict of WUN mtird* against Emma Stringer.

Edward Pote Keale ;<gainst two of his parishioners, Joseph Fish and Ann Nockolds, of having been guilty of indecent conduct in the churchyard, by then and there singing on the way to and at the grave of an unhnptized child, by which the said Edward Pote Neale was then and there vexed and troubled, he being then avd tlvre vicar of the said parish, and the only person duly authorized to per- form the burial service in the church of the said parish, contrary to the form of the statute in that case made and provided." The proeeeding. were instituted under the Act passed last session in consequence of the disturbances in the parish of St. GeorgeVin-the-Kast. The case, as stated on the part of the prosecution, was as follows A few days since, a child, whose parents were named Web- ster, died at Ilorsey. As it had never be(n baptized, Mr. Neale refused to read the burial service over the body; but he conscllted to the corpse being interred in a particular part of the ch"rchyard, on c"ndition that no singing or pral er should bc? allowed at the gravc. although service might be performed outside the churchyard. Mrs. Webster, it is said, distinctly agreed to these stipulations; but on the 29th ult. the defendant Fish and nine or ten other persons, after prayers outside the churchyard, went in procession and singing tt. the grave. lr. Neale went up to them, and saM three times, Joseph :¡"i,h and all other persons, I most solemnly protest against what you are now doing;" but they paid no heed to the admonition. For the defendants, who are l'riijiitive Methodists, it was contended that Mrs. Webster had requested Fish, knowing him to be a religious man, to at'end at the church, that the child might not be thrown into the grave like a dog and that some funeral celebration should take place, as far as it could be carried out consisteutly with the feelings of Mr. Ncale. They simply carried the corpse to the churchyard, and on arriving there knelt down in the road to say a prayer over it. They then walked in orderly procession to the grave singing a perfectly unobjectionable hymn. The magistrates tind the defendants a shilling each, and IBs. expenses. Notice of appeal to the quarter sessions was given. THE ACCIDENT TO THE PITINCE CoNSoaT.~The Prince Consort went out shooting on the 1st inst. with the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the I rin:e Frederick William of Prussia, and Count Alexander Mensdorff. The Queen, ac. companied by the Duchess of Saxe Coburg, the Princess Frederick William of Prussia, and the Princess Alice, drove at one o'clock up to the Castle of Cullenberg, where luncheon was prepared, and where the Royal shooting party joined Her Majesty and the Princesses. At a little before five o'clock, the Prince Consort, having some business to transact, took leave of the party, and entered a carriage to proceed alone to Coburg. After his Royal Highness had gone about three miles, the horses, which were driven four in baud, commenced kicking violently, and shortly started off at full speed. The coachman, assisted by Royal Highness, did everything in his power to arrest the progress of the frightened .animals, but without effect. At about the distance of a mile from Coburg the road from Callenberg crosses the railway at a level, and upon approaching this spot, the Prince Consort observed that the bar which is lowered to prevent carriages crossing the line when a train is expected, was closed, preparatory to the arrival of the train due at Coburgafc 5 o'clock, A wag- gon, which had been stopped by the bar, was also standing upon the road. A violent concussion being then inevitable his Royal Highnessjumped from the carriage and fell to the ground. His Royal Highness, though receiving some sa. perficial cuts and bruises in the face, was not at all stunned or seriously hurt, and shortly proceeded to assist the coach- man. The carriage had in the meantime come into collision with the bar of the railway and was upset, thecoachman be- ing dashed to the ground and considerably hurt. His Royal Highness immediately devoted his attention to this man, who was conveyed to the lodge of the railway servant who has charge of the bar. The horses having thus freed them- selves from the carriage, continued their career into the town of Coburg, and were there seen by Colonel Pon- sonby, the Prince's Equerry, who had been in attendance in the earlier part of the day. The Colonel immediately procured a carriage, and securing the services of Dr. Baly and Dr. Carl Horschutz, the medical attendant of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, he proceeded with them to meet his Royal Highness. The Prince, who was still in the small cottage, directed the attention of the medical gentlemen to the coachman, and desired Colonel Ponsonby to continue his route to meet Her Majesty the Queen, who was at that time on her return to Coburg, in order to inform Her Majesty of what had taken place. His Royal Highness's escape may be considered as most providential. The Prince's general health has not at aU suffered from this accident, and the bruises will in all probability disappear in a few days. MR. WILLIAM HOWITT IN DEFENCE OF SPIRITUALISM.— Mr. W. Howitt has sent to a London contemporary a long defence of spiritualism against the attacks made upon that singular movement by "Blackwood." He asserts that instead of evading aud resisting scientific inquiry, Mr. Home, the great medium," courts investigation of this description, and has exhibited-it the spiritualists will allow us the expression-hi the presence of Lord Brougham and Sir David Brewster What is more, it is well known that it has been the practice of Mr. Home, on all occasions, to accept any invitation by gentlemen and Christians to display the phenomena which come through him. He has exhibited scores of times before the Emperor of France, and in presence of any scientific men that the Emperor has chosen to name. Mr. Home has done the same at almost every court and capital in Europe, and possesses the most unequivocal testimonials to the reality of his demonstrations frO'n numerous crowned and learned heads. If there be e thing more than another conspicuous in Mr. Home, it is his readiness to meet and oblige all respectable inquirers. During his late sojourn in London, he has repeatedly visited-on one occasion for a whole fortiiight-Lord Lyndhurst, and has been the medium, at his Lordship's house, of most striking phenomena, to the entire satisfaction of tha great lawyer and his family. Now, surely, Lord Lyndh=t F.. highly ci-tifi? in the science especially essen- tial to such inquiries, that of shrewdly examining and taking evidence of facts. Mr. Home has displayed similar phe- :e f tl\ orlia" at¡:eaI:lIt ¡ and cientiiie Veopli? in London during the whole of last season. Mr. Faraday, we all know, wished to see table turning, aud he propounded a theory to account for it. But his theory of involuntary museular action in the persons who put their hands on the table was immediately stultified by the tables rising up far out of the reach of all hands. Mr. Faraday, I know, has Bince been repeatedly invited by a scientific friend of his to witness those more decided de- monstrations, but he has steadily persisted in refusing to co near tables that rise ui) to the ccilincrs of loftv rnnmo Dr. Ashburnham, the tr.mslator of Rei?he?ba' i desired to examine these phenomena; he found no resistance nor evasion; he sa? them repeatedly, became convinced of their reality, and publicly avowed his conviction; and I could give you numerous instances of scientific men who have wished to examine them, and are believers, but they have their prudential reasons for preferring the anonymous. A distinguished physician and editor of one of our scientific journals, has for several years made a stout fight against spiritualism. He went to Mr. William Wilkinson, solicitor, of 44, Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, and said, 14 You talk in the 4 Spiritual Magazine' wonderful things. I challenge you to let me see them." Mr. Wilkin- son accepted the challenge, and took Mr. Squire, a well- known American medium, with him to this gentleman's house. The learned doctor invited a learned Cantab and a secretary to a scientific society to meet them. They spent a whole day and parts of two other days with these gentle- men, allowing them to make every examination that they pleased. In the course of this visit, many astonishing things were done; a heavy table was flung from one end of a room to another. A table constructed scientifically, to :if':h: the most raging lunatics, and which had d,?fi,d the., t the .ti2.r desire of the doctor though it WM strongly clamped and bound with an iron rim, torn to fragments Mr. Ho?ttt also adduces the testimony of Professor Hare, "the Faraday of America" tme?d Judge Edmunds, one of the most distinguished of teAmencm Judges, in favour of spiritualism, his own' ïii:Ðft':a f8i_n, his own; Why dott t lIAr labourer never cease growing y-sftmnn at tela higher (lir.) daily.

I FOREIGN MISCELLANY. New Orleans has been visited by a destructive Dre, which caused the death of fifteen persons, who were killed ty the falling ot a building. Father Gavazzi preachcd the other day in the square of San Fracisco di Paolo, Naples, to an immense concourse of people, and renewed his exhortations to liberality on behall of the wonnded. The earnestness of the orator communi- cated itself as if by magic to his audience, and contriba- tions of every sort poured in, from all quarters, money m great quantities, sheets, shirts, sugar, lemons, oranges, were brought in. At last one person threw down his own handkerchief; his example was followed by all present, and in a few seconds a mountain of handkerchiefs was formed in the square. TEBRIFIC GALE I" THE Gur.F OF MEXICO.—Tbe terrific northern gale in the Gulf of Mexico, which occurretl on S.trday, tbe 15th B?,pt,.b,r (snp a N,? York journal), for intensity and destractiveness exceed. anything of the kind that has occurred for a long time. The accounts received thus far only speak in general terms of the itorm, but from these we are ablet >assert authoritatively that the loss to the shipping and on land on the southern coast, reaching from Now Orleans to Mobile, a distance of over two hundred miles, will amount to two millions of dollars. Every house in Belize, La., was blown down the town of liiloxi. Miss., is in ruins, and Milueburg, La, the terminus of the Lake Ponchartrain railroad, is submerged and the wharves materially damaged. All the wharve. anJ bnth hongeo on the liike shore bctween New Orleans and Mobile have hcen swcpt aw.iy. Its iorce must have been felt on other liarts of the southern coast, and our readers may onticipnte hearing of slul farther terrible destruction of life and property. The following are some detail* of trie fami_ly to which the Duke d'Aliia belongs:—lie i, the chief of the eider branch of the Filz James, the issue, ■"» is iveJl known, of King James II. and Miss Churchill. The -on of that Prince, the famous Marshal de Berwick, had two wives- the daughter of the Earl ofClanriearde and the daughter of Lord Bulkeley. Ky the former he bad an only son, Harl Tinmouth, to whom he transmitted l.is immense estates, and all the titles which he had in Spain and the Dudlicll of Leria and of Xereii, in marrying him t.itiie d ingl'.cr tied heiress of the Du e do VeraRuas. Thence is <■. jewd-d the branch of the Dalies de Berwick, de Le,i. d'Alb., t". From the second U1RI'rÏa:1e came the chief of the bmiieb nf the Dukes de Fitz James, numeivualy represented in France, which furnished a second Mmvhal of 1' rain e. a cardinal, and the Duke de Fitz-Jnmea, wholle widow slill lives, and who played so considerable & part under iuy Restoration.

EXECUTION OF A MUDKIIVR 1:01 I IIASCE—Another execu- tion la.jnst taken place in France. One Millot was so me time back condemned to death by the Court of Assizes of the Yonne for the murder of "n aged widow, named Clerel, of Lixv; tut he en ler!<1Íned a confident hope that hi, life would be Spared. After his condemnation he was lodged in the prison of Auxerre, and three nights back ho was told that be was about to be taken awav. u Where to?" asked he, and he was answered" to Paris," but he was conveyed to the railway and sent to Sens, where the execution had been ordered to take place. A rumour that he was about to ar- rive having been spread in that city, a crowd assembled at the station to ade him. He was alarmed fit this collection of people, and still more so at findiug that, instead of going to Paris, he was made to stop at Sens, with which city he was well acquainted; but he was tranquillized by some vae explanation given him by one of the turn. keys. He was lodged in the gaol, and early next morning was awakened, and told that he was about to be put to death. He seemed for a moment thunderstruck, and then raised loud cries, and vehemently protested that he was innocent. He afterwards fell into a sort of stupor, and so remained until he was pinioned and placed in a cart. He then revived a little, and bent down his head, as if to avoid being seen by the spectators. On reaching the scaf- fold he made a slight effort to break from the executioners, but soon became insensible, and in that state was placed beneath the knife. A vast crowd had assembled to witnest the execution, and many of the people passed the whole night in the streets. FINDING NOT KEEPING IN FRANCE.—As a number of men were about a month ago engaged in d?.?]i?bi.g one of the houses in the Rue Bmse-da Rampart, five of them, Ger- mans, were seen by the others to rush to a chinauej piece and make a scramble; shortly after two, without asking for the pay due to them, they went away, and a little later a third asked for his money, and said that he must leave, as his wife was ill. These circumstances excited sus- picion, and the employer of the men, having questioned one of the Germans, learned that in pulling down the chimneypiece some leaden boxes had been found in a recess, and that those boxes were filled with gold coin to the amount of abont 6,000f.; also that the five men had appro- priated the money to their own use, On that the three who remained were arrested; as to the other two, it tnmed out that they had left for their own country by railway. Yesterday the three were brought to trial before the Tri- bunal of Correctional Police on the charge of robbery. One admitted that he had taken 740f. of the money foacd; another 1,000f.; the third 700f. the rest of the sum had, it was stated, been taken by the othertwo. The President, after telling the prisoners that if they had honestly given np the treasure they had found they would have been enti. tied to part of it, but as they had not done so they were in the eye of the law thieves, condemned each of them to three months' imprisonment, and the other two who have taken to flight to six months. The treasure, it appears, must have been secreted by an old gentleman lately de. ceased, to whom the house belonged, and he not only never made any mention of it to his wife and family, but had said nothing about it in his will.- Galhjnani. THE NEW FRENCH TABIFF.—The Paris correspondent of the Economist says that in the course of the present month the other details of the new tariff will be fixed, and that part of them will no doubt be somewhat as follows On obj t8 in iron used in households and manufactures, which have hitherto been prohibited, the duty will be moderate; cast-iron pipes, which have hitherto been vir- tually prohibited, will be brought within the reach of agri- culturists and builders; and pottery articles in iron for building, locks, nails, anchors, chains, cables, and tubes in forged iron, will also be admitted at reasonable duties. On cutlery, which has hitherto been prohibited, the duty will be moderate. As to machinery, the reduc- tion of duty will vary from one-half to two-thirds; some articles, which paid 48f. the 100 kilogrammes will hence- forth only pay 15f., and from the 1st of October, 1864, only lOf.; others, which paid 1;,f. will only pay 9f., and from 18134, only CI. On detached pieecs of machinery the re- duction, in some cases, is as much as nine-tenths. As to files, scythes, reaping hooks, saws, and other tools, the re- auction is to be three or four-fifths, and in some cases five- sixths. Articles in leather, cabinet ware, and works in ivory and wood are to pay much less. Carriages, which were prohibited, are only to pay ten per cent. ad valorem. What is to be done with regard to cotton and woollen fabrics is not yet stated. The new tariff will be greatly simplified, though not to the extent that is desirable, and many vexatious customs regulations which have hither- to been in force are to be done away with. An Imperial decree fixes the import duties on sulphate of soda at 6f. the 100 kilogrammes by French vessels, and 8f. by foreign vessels or by land and it abolishes, from the first of this month, the drawback on the export of nitric and sulphuric acids. PRIVATE LIFE OF THE POM .—Some of our readers may like to know a little about the interior of a Papal palace. Those who have derived the idea of it from the luxurious reign of Leo X. may learn how staid, demure, and metho- dical a modern Pope 18 expected to be.. His Court, though externally splendid, is austerely regulated, and hM privy purse is estimated at not more than -1;260 Roman dollars pe'?!*um, though offerings from the faithful in various ?e?:tties 1;"?,e (especially in the case of his present Holi- nem) brought occasional augmentation to these narrow means. Among the thousand chambers of the Vatican, few, and those not the largest, are reserved for his resi- dence. In the Quirinal-palace he has a more magnificent suite; but his villa on the lake of Albano, and that lately purchased at Porto d'Anzio, are surpassed in scale and jrrandeur by many country seats of gentlemen and noblemen in England. Though always appearing abroad with a corteye of chariots and mounted guards, in private his habits are simple, his dress entirely white, with a gold embroidered cross on the slipper, which is kissed in the act of that homage he usually dispenses with from non- Catholics at presentation, and of which he himself eta the example, so far as Christian humility is implied, by ]dsaing the feet of priests (who are gner&Uy poor .1 strmgen) during the solemnity of Holy Thursday. He holds no levees, but access to him is easy, through applica- tion to proper officials, for persons of almost every rank, with no other requirement as to etiquette of costume than black evening dress without gloves, and the veil for females. As to the private life of Pius IX., he daily celebrates mass in his private chapel, and attends another mass said by a chaplain; dedicates the entire morning, till an early dinner, to his duties: then drives out, and (when be- yond the city walls) uSllally walks; returns again to occupy hIs hours, till a rather late supper, in that routine oc?up g eas and ever-pre"ribed engagements that render the life of a Pope little else than a magnificent slavery. Among these engagements, audiences, official and private, are not the least prominent and wearisome; and it is said hit present Holiness has literally spent the day till seven PJ. in one series of receptions. Most of the ecclesiastics en- rolled in the Papal Court rank as prelates; and this house- hold is at present composed of the Cardinal, the Secretary of State, (Prefect of the Apostolical Palace,) a malor-domo. a maestro di camera, an auditor, the maestro of the sacred palaces (who is always a Dominica- and head of the CfJR. iorship over the press,) ten private cbamberlains, 1C2 private supernumerary chamberlains, all, like the former, of prelatic rank.-Court Journal.
